By MICHELLE TUCHOL Correspondent HAZLET TOWNSHIP — Passion for music isn’t the only reason Absolute Music stays in business. Aside from the 13 dedicated instructors on staff, owner John Albino and manager Pam Hansen are always ready for the next big thing. And this is their season to show the Bayshore area what music is all about. On June 5, Absolute Music will hold its sixth annual music recital known as ACTS, or Absolute Community Talent Show. The event, held at Raritan High School, will showcase volunteer students from the studio as they perform popular music from present to classic ballads from the past. “It has grown to a huge music fest,” Hansen said. “You’ll hear everything from Taylor Swift to Iron Maiden.” ACTS offers something for everyone, and this isn’t your regular talent show where an unsuspecting audience has to sit through random displays of aptitude. Over 140 students, ranging in age from 4 ½ to 60, are hard at work months before the production actually occurs. A set list is discussed for the show during these early stages, usually during the winter months. Over the course of that time, individual lessons and practices are dedicated to students working on their parts. The main goal of these individual practices is to get students ready for when they come together on one stage and perform as a group. Some students may have solos, but they all play together showing the true meaning of practice makes perfect. Albino’s knowledge of the music industry also comes in handy. In past years producing the ACTS recital, his good friends have come from all over to donate their time and equipment, set up for the event and even help practice with the students. Not only will the band be present, the choir from Absolute Music will also be performing, again ranging in all ages and musical abilities. The entire event will be professionally taped so that families, friends and music lovers can purchase a DVD after the performance. Proceeds for this specific event will benefit the RAINE (Reaching All In Need Everyday) Foundation, a local non-profit that assists families around the holidays. Everyone affiliated with Absolute Music works just as hard to give back to the community as they do to give students an opportunity to experience music. Hansen is not only happy to help her community, but she’s very thankful to participate in this worthy cause. “We’re really big on community service and we do whatever we can to help the community,” Hansen said. Absolute Music goes wherever there’s a need for help in the form of entertainment. In past years, ACTS has raised money for such organizations as POAC (Parents of Autistic Children), The Bayshore Senior Center, St. John’s Church in Hazlet, King of Kings Church in Middletown, Hazlet Police Department and the Hazlet Fire Department.

Their donations extend far beyond monetary value, as Absolute Music also offers to perform at local functions within the township when needed. For this particular even, it is expected that 500-700 people will be in attendance, so purchase tickets in advance. Join Absolute Music as they celebrate the creativity and fun of music all to benefit the local community. A gift auction and buffet provided by Perkins Restaurant will be available to all who attend. Contact Pam at the Absolute Music studio at 732-888-4404 for more information.

Middletown ball field caretakers hold fundraiser By ASHLEY DRAPKIN Correspondent
MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP — On Sunday, April 3, the Middletown North High School baseball team held a Pancake Breakfast event to support the Rich Veth Diamond Club. The club was named after Rich Veth, who was a baseball coach from 1980 to 2001. He passed away from cancer, and after he had passed they named a field after him; the Rich Veth “18” baseball field. The purpose of the Diamond Club was to help raise money for the fields as well as the school itself. “All the baseball players are volunteering their time today as waiters,” Tom Rhatigan said. Whole Foods made a donation of most of the food at the pancake fundraiser. Some of the people involved in the pancake fundraiser were Leonard Inzerillo, Bob Spinelli, Tom Rhatigan and Jon Scala, as well as many parents and students. According to the group’s mission statement, the Rich Veth Diamond Club is an organization comprised of the parents, friends and alumni of the Middletown High School North Baseball Program. Its mission is to support the players and coaches’ efforts on the field by providing additional services, equipment and supplies above and beyond the school’s budgeted items. Middletown North started the Rich Veth Diamond Club also because the funds were cut so the school did not have a lot of money for the sports fields, and they were starting to be run down. “My brother loved to go to work. He loved teaching.

Consequently they named the field after him because it was his field and he took care of it,” Ray Veth said. “Because of the budget constraints and economy changes, the field was crumbing,” Veth said. “There were weeds all over the place and the parents decided they wanted to see what they could do to fix it up so they started this club.”
The group also helps painting the dugouts as well as finding equipment. “My brother always had an interesting way of doing things. He made sure everyone was wearing their uniforms properly and made sure nothing was ever out of place,” Veth concluded.

Cancer Society hosts Hazlet relay By KAITLIN SEVERINI Correspondent HAZLET TOWNSHIP — On Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5, the American Cancer Society (ACS) will host Hazlet’s first Relay for Life event at Raritan High School. The all-night event, which will feature team walking relays, entertainment, ceremonies, speakers and more, will take place from noon on Saturday through 7 a.m. on Sunday. “This is an overnight event that is a perfect combination of exercise, entertainment and inspiration,” Bradley Bennett, ACS Event Coordinator for the relay, said. “This is the inaugural year for the Relay for Life of Hazlet. We are so excited to be here.” Currently, 24 teams of between eight to 15 people have registered for the event. Bennett and ACS hope to have 40 teams sign up and reach a fundraising goal of $40,000. Money raised will toward cancer research, advocacy, education and patient and family services. “So far, we have gotten a great response from the Raritan High School community,” Bennett said, “We would love for more residents in town to join us for an incredible event.” One of ACS’s important projects that will
benefit from the event is the Road to Recovery program, which provides transportation to and from treatment for cancer patients and their families who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the lifesaving treatments they need. Twenty of the Relay for Life participants currently signed up for the Hazlet event are cancer survivors and will be honored before and during the relay. “Our survivors are our MVPs,” Bennett said. “We recognize them before the event with a survivor luncheon, then recognize them during our opening ceremonies and have them start our walk with a survivors’ lap.” Caregivers of cancer survivors and patients will also be honored with a caregivers’ lap at the start of the relay. There is still time to register for the 2011 Relay for Life of Hazlet. To register, find out more information about the event or donate, visit ACS’s Hazlet Relay for life website: http://www.relayforlife.org/hazletnj. “Everyone is affected by this disease in some way,” Bennett said. “Either you or someone you know has been affected by cancer, and this event brings everyone together for one night to celebrate, remember and fight back.”

HIGHLANDS BOROUGH — On March 19, the ninth annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade filled the Highlands business district with blaring bagpipes, hefty horns from local school bands, vivacious vuvuzelas and a lot of Irish cheer. The parade didn’t get underway until 2 p.m., which worked well. It may have been a clear, sunny day but the temperature didn’t rise until mid-afternoon. That didn’t stop spectators and parade participants from braving the blustery winds that were precursory to the start. Grand Marshall Doug Dauty was more than pleased with the turnout of this year’s festivities. “It’s a great event for a small town and it gets better every year,” Dauty said. It may be a small town, but the numerous groups and organizations that marched down Bay Avenue could’ve have easily contended with larger Monmouth County areas. Some spectators, although not from Highlands, pointed out how local businesses did such a great job of putting the floats together. The St. Paddy’s Day Parade was organized through the Highlands Business Partnership, which also aided in judging a float competition. The organizational skills also needed for this impressive display came together with the help of HBP President Carla Cefalo-Braswell, who spent much of her morning hours
lining up floats and people in their respective spots. Dozens of cars and trucks from local restaurants and businesses cruised down the streets in floats that were intricately designed to represent the spirit of St. Paddy’s Day as well as their cause. Large, eclectic floats from Bahrs Restaurant, Chilangos Mexican Restaurant, SeaStreak Ferry, Off The Hook and others carried groups of friends and family who were along to throw goodies to the crowd. The floats weren’t the only demonstration of talent and hard work. All the groups that marched in the parade, from the Vietnam Veterans Post 143 and Henry Hudson Regional School’s Marching Band to the young Girl Scouts of the Highlands, were proud to be a part of the community’s history. And what’s a St. Paddy’s Day parade without bagpipes? Entertainment from dozens of troops kept the crowd roaring with their own renditions of classic Irish and Scottish melodies. Numerous pipes and drums bands were present, including the Monmouth County Police Pipes and Drums, the Middlesex County Police and Fire Pipes and Drums and the Greater Trenton Pipes and Drums Band. Each troop, all elegantly decorated, brought something special to the parade. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade was a great way to celebrate the Irish heritage, regardless of nationality, and bring a springtime feeling to the Highlands.

By MARY GRACE WYVILLE Correspondent MATAWAN BOROUGH — When it comes to renewable energy, New Jersey is at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution. In the past few years, New Jersey legislatures have expanded the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to produce 1,500 megawatts of power by 2021, which would require local utilities to get 22.5 percent of their energy from renewable sources. New Jersey rose to the top five solar power generating states by providing a generous solar incentive program, based on SRECs, or Solar Renewable Energy Credits, which can be sold on an open exchange for about $650 each. This unique system has given home and business owners a great incentive to switch to a more responsible means of providing one’s energy. A top-five solar-generating state offers scores of businesses which will install your panels and manage your SRECs, but none stand up to the complete energy service offered by the G-CREW of Matawan. Founded by the “G” Man, a.k.a. George M. Dzurina, the G-CREW offers complete energy solutions, including a full energy analysis and air seals. Both of these services are not usually offered by solar panel installers, and alone can improve your home or business’s energy efficiency by 20 percent. The G-CREW is a small, but tightly knit team complete with energy engineers, designers, and installers. Together, they have helped countless homes and businesses in the area to improve their efficiency and go green. The G-CREW’s most re-
cent project has been on the Asbury Park waterfront where the popular hangout, Langosta Lounge, has decided to seek the G-CREW’s expertise in energy efficiency. Dzurina is not only an energy guru, but he has been an ordained elder of the Presbyterian Church of the U.S. for the last 20 years, and has a heart for seeing how natural energy be captured and put to good use. Dzurina’s faith has led him to make some unusual business decisions, for example, opening a training academy to increase the number of solar contractors in the area. One may think that he is essentially training his future competitors, but Dzurina isn’t concerned about that. “When you’re the best at what you do, people want to go to you,” Dzurina said. The G-CREW Technical Academy is an approved training provider for the N.J. electrical contractor board through the Division of Consumer Affairs, which allows G-Tech students to earn CEUs and earn credits towards becoming NABCEP Certified PV installers after attending just five training seminars. The service that the G-CREW offers is unique, both in terms of their energy training academy as well as the in-depth approach taken to solar installation and energy use reduction. After talking with Dzurina, I learned a great deal about New Jersey’s renewable energy program as well as electrical engineering, and I look forward to my first course on Solar PV systems.

THEATER REVIEW ‘Damn Yankees’ a home run at Raritan High School By MICHELLE TUCHOL Correspondent HAZLET TOWNSHIP – What do you do when your favorite baseball team seems to be heading for another upsetting season? You make a deal with the Devil, of course! At least, that’s what Joe Boyd (Randy Mester) proposed to do after a commanding monologue about trying to play on his home team, the Washington Senators. Raritan High School scored high on this spring’s musical production of “Damn Yankees,” a story of one man’s perception to live the dream of being a professional baseball player. Joe would do anything to have the team, which has become a joke even to its most loyal fans, win the pennant. After watching another loss against the unstoppable New York Yankees, Joe storms out of the house to clear his head. His wife, Meg, played by Christina Snyder, follows him, even though she has been ignored all night thanks to the couple’s TV. Joe rambles to himself as Meg tries to console him, but her remarks fall on deaf ears. She kisses her irritated husband and goes to bed. As Joe sits alone with morbid thoughts, a curious man named Applegate, played by Mike McAcree, waltzes onto Joe’s porch. Applegate promises him a life he’s always dreamed of, and after some coaxing, Joe decides to take a chance. Applegate cautions him that this once in a lifetime deal does have a stipulation: old Joe Boyd, who transforms into a young, all-star athlete, will have to change back after the season is over. Joe’s original qualms about leaving his wife for such a long period of time slowly fade. He and Applegate head for the ballpark to show the Senators what they’ve been missing. The scene in the Senators locker room gives insight to the ballplayers’ own ambi-
tions. Coach Van Buren (Aiden Fulton), Smokey (Daniel English), Rocky (Taylor Smith) and Vernon (Bryan Buzzo) all chime harmoniously in a collective song titled “Heart,” proclaiming their dedication to the sport. And when the whole cast joins the quartet for a reprise, both song and dance are immeasurable. How do these ballplayers have time to practice their moves? The team’s prayers seem to be answered when the new and improved Joe, who is now Joe Hardy, walks onto the Senators’ field with Mr. Applegate, his manager. Coach Van Buren lets Joe hit a few balls and play infield with a few members of the team. After Joe slugs consecutive home runs and seems to play well with the boys, Van Buren and the entire team see this as an opportunity to finally beat the Yankees. Joe joins the team, becomes an overnight success, and receives a new nickname. Gloria Thorpe (Victoria Keiser), a reporter who always stays on top of the scoop, calls him “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo.,” on account of Joe not having his own cleats to play with and claiming Hannibal, Missouri is where he came from. This is where one conflict lies. The team doesn’t mind that Joe doesn’t wish to divulge his past, but Gloria is on to him as she delves into her investigatory duties. The Senators climb their way to victory. Joe, who is now accustomed to fame and familiarity, is also desperately missing Meg and his old life. He makes frequent visits back home and, much to Applegate’s dismay, ends up renting a spare room from Meg so he can spend time with her. Applegate thinks the only way Joe will forget about Meg is to call on Lola, played by Ashley Orlando. Lola is a seductive temptress trapped by the powers of Applegate who desperately tries to steal Joe’s heart and bind him to the original agreement. But the love Joe has for his wife is aston-
ishingly strong enough to keep Lola away and ultimately turns her against Applegate. To break up the synopsis for a moment, if you haven’t guessed already, Applegate is in fact the Devil. The audience knows it, Lola knows it (she resides in Hell), and obviously Applegate knows it. But the other characters in the play have no idea. With the season quickly coming to an end and the Senators closing in on the pennant, the talk of Joe not really being from Hannibal, Mo. becomes a huge press stunt. Conferences between the Senators’ owner Welch (Kevin O’Keeffe), the press and the team add pressure to the fact that Joe really isn’t who he says he is. A trial is held on the day of the Senators’ last big game. Joe is on the stand, still trying to sort out his origin with the press. No one believes his explanations until Meg and her two close friends, Sister (Jenna Murphy) and Dorris (Theresa Hroncich), come to the courthouse. The convincing story of their hometown hero gets Joe off the hook just in time to finish the game. Do the Senators finally beat those “damn Yankees?”
Not only does the team win the pennant, Joe is able to go back home to Meg as the old Joe Boyd. Although miserable that the original plan to take Joe’s soul falls through, Applegate and Lola return back to Hell and all seems right with the world. What really set “Damn Yankees” apart from other productions was the ability the students had to roam offstage. During scenes where space was an issue, the crew was able to build a catwalk surrounding the stage for the actors and dancers. In scenes where the Senators were in the middle of playing a game, some of the cast members were sitting and standing in the aisles of the auditorium, which added depth to the performance. The transformation between old Joe Boyd and young Joe Hardy was a great casting decision. Equally pleasurable was the role of Applegate, who had the audience chuckling at his cheeky mannerisms and sarcastic jokes. “Damn Yankees” was chock-full of talent, good moves, and just a little bit of suspense. Just like everything you could want in a good ballgame.

In 1978 Victor V. Scudiery was commissioned to produce a perfect Easter gift. Today this
Commemorative Record Album and the Papal Review is available in limited quantities.
Pope John Paul II is on his way to sainthood. It has been announced that Pope John Paul II will be beatiďŹ ed on May 1, 2011. This puts him just one step away from canonization as a saint. In 1978 the election of a Polish Pope came as a surprise to the entire world. It meant a break with tradition and the begnning of a new era in Rome. Not only has Cardinal Karol Wojtya become the ďŹ rst non-Italian Pope in 455 years, but also the youngest elected Pontiff in 132 years.
This album, therefore, is presented as a Commemorative Tribute to John Paul II, The Pope.
Also available with this Commemorative record Album is the Papal Review, which is a compilation in book form of all of the Popes, beginning with St. Peter, up to, and including Pope John Paul II, with history and pictures.
AVAILABLE NOW-

is more than just a hot meal MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP – More than just a hot meal for senior citizens, Meals on Wheels has assisted numerous people get back on their feet in their most dire time of need.. “I have been volunteering for about fourteen years, and it’s an excellent program,” MaryBeth Anthopulos, volunteer, said. “Interfaith Neighbors runs the organization for Meals on Wheels and they help so many homebound seniors with meals. People coming out of the hospital that can’t cook for themselves, we give them a hot nutritional meal Monday through Friday.” Run solely on volunteer time, the different groups of volunteers dedicate their time in the kitchen to prepare the meals and then time on the road delivering them. On average, the Middletown program makes about
45 to 50 meals a day. “It makes you feel good because you are actually doing something good for somebody,” Peace Fenter, volunteer, said. According to Anthopulos, the homebound program is for seniors that were hospitalized and are just coming home and just need a little help getting back on their feet. There are also other programs for people that just need help, and have no one else. “Volunteers are really hard to come by. We try to post things on church bulletins. If people could just take a half hour or one hour a day to help a fellow senior, it’s just amazing and rewarding,” Anthopulos said.

penalty period until such time as the applicant is eligible for Medicaid benefits but for the penalty period. In other words, Mr. Smith will not have a two-month penalty period assessed against him for his $14,000 uncompensated transfer until such time as he has less than $2,000 in assets. So, here’s the rub for the nursing home in which Mr. Smith resides: If Mr. Smith is ineligible for two months and has less than $2,000 in assets, how is he going to pay the nursing home? You might think, well, the nursing home will just kick Mr. Smith out for non-payment. But you’d be wrong. While, legally speaking, the nursing home could kick Mr. Smith out for non-payment from a practical standpoint, the nursing home cannot discharge Mr. Smith. The nursing home would have to find a place that would accept Mr. Smith because Mr. Smith needs the care that a nursing home provides, and since no other nursing home will accept Mr. Smith, the nursing home in which he resides is stuck with him. Because of these facts, nursing homes are getting more and more aggressive when it comes to Medicaid applications. Many nursing homes are referring families to agen-
cies that process Medicaid application or law firms that also represent the nursing home. Some of the agencies that handle these applications are telling family members that the family must use their services. While referrals are nice, sometimes referrals can mean divided loyalty. For instance, if I am the law firm for the nursing home, the same law firm that makes money suing families that have failed to pay their bills to the nursing home, to whom do you think I’m going to be loyal? If I am a non-attorney agency that processes Medicaid application and receives a substantial amount of my business from nursing home referrals, to whom do you think I’m going to be loyal. Medicaid is complex enough. Families should not have to worry about the loyalty of the advocate they retain to represent them in the process of applying for benefits. John W.
