STAFF PUBLISHERS: Cliff Moore and Vin Gopal DESIGN: Lori Donnelly Christopher Blaszczyk GENERAL MANAGER: Maria Connors CORRESPONDENTS: Ashley Drapkin Michelle Tuchol
By ASHLEY DRAPKIN Correspondent MATAWAN BOROUGH – On Monday, April 4, the Woman’s Club of Matawan held their 95th anniversary. The president of the Woman’s Club of Matawan is Ann Quinn. Jane Costello, vice president; Vivian Rocco, recording secretary; Joan Brown, co-chairman and Leona Murphy, corresponding secretary make up the rest of the club’s leadership. For the anniversary celebration, they hosted some special guests including President Patty Whitehouse, Linda Babeuf, the first vice president, and Mary Pat Marcello, the past day president, as well as many other guests that joined the women’s club years ago. Matawan Mayor Paul Buccellato and Councilman Andy Lopez also joined in on the celebration. Rocco began her speech at the celebration explaining exactly how the women’s club really met. “On a brisk fall day, October 9, 1915, Mrs. Stern welcomed six ladies to her home on Morganville Road. A committee was appointed to prepare a constitution and bylaws, the object, ‘to found and maintain an organized center of cooperation among the women of Matawan,’” she said. Rocco explained that during the Woman’s Club 95 years of history they have been credited with playing a prominent role in all campaigns for civic betterment including starting the Public Health Association; sponsoring the Parents Teachers League, securing a school nurse and attendance officer along with many other things. Almost a century later, the Woman’s Club is still going strong. The projects that they work on now are support for the Clinton Street After-School program, a library wish tree, 180 Turning Lives Around, Meals on Wheels, and food and clothing drives for the needy. The Woman’s Club also presents a “Girl of the Year” award, which is given annually to a high school senior who has shown significant improvement in her grades and who also volunteers in the community. “Sitting here listening to the history of the Woman’s Club made me realize what the Woman’s Club motto really is: Love, Loyalty and Cooperation,” Bucellato said in his speech while presenting the Woman’s Club a proclamation. When asked why she joined the Woman’s Club, Mary Pat Marcello ex-

plained that it really is about the women you end up meeting. “After a while, age just doesn’t matter. Everyone becomes your age even when they are older then you,” she said. Marcello explained that everything is voluntarily, and that they only have one paid member. “I joined the Woman’s Club because as months went by, I was lonely. I moved and it was hard to make friends,” Marcello said. “For me, I’m a transplant. When I came here I was a young woman. I was in my early 30s.” Babeuf is part of the Rumson Woman’s Club and she explained that she joined the Woman’s Club for similar reasons as Marcello. “I was working full time in New York and you don’t make many friends if you’re not a local. I was just looking for something to fill my time. I was 30 and they were all in their late 70s,” Babeuf said. “The joy of this organization is that
the age issue goes away.” Every year the Woman’s Club has a special project and this year it involved the Gilda’s Club and the Wellness Club. They are part of the same organization. They provide a non-medical psychosocial to anyone living with cancer. They have four clubhouses. They provide places for networking, hold yoga and cooking classes and provide many other things. Anyone who wants support can go there; it doesn’t have to be the person with cancer. It can be a family member as well as a friend. “The small group of women who started the Woman’s Club of Matawan made it possible for those coming after to be part of a larger influential organization, the New Jersey Federation of Women’s Clubs and the General Federation of Women’s Club. The club has a proud history of accomplishment as it looks forward to its 100th anniversary,” Rocco concluded.

Aberdeen’s new Sports Zone: An ‘upscale dining sports bar’ By ASHLEY DRAPKIN Correspondent ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP — When new owners Steve and Zoe Greenberg and managing partner Gary Belfer took over the Cue and Brew on Route 34 in Aberdeen in February 2010, they closed down immediately. They redid the whole entire restaurant, now known as the Sports Zone Bar and Grill, including the upstairs. The downstairs reopened in the middle of April and they finished the upstairs right before Thanksgiving last year. “We talked about owning a bar because we were intrigued by it. There weren’t many restaurants for us to hang out at, so we decided to get something we would enjoy,” Steve Greenberg said. There are TVs throughout the whole entire restaurant upstairs and downstairs, so no matter where you sit you are in plain view of a TV, Zoe explained. The restaurant has everything from certified beef steaks to hamburgers to wings. “We have been called an ‘upscale dining sports bar,” Steve said. “The prices are cheap and our food rocks!” Sports Zone has live entertainment and a DJ on Thursday nights as well as ladies nights. On Fridays and Saturdays, they have live entertainment such as Amish Outlaws, the Nerds and a few other popular bands. There is also a 80s night as well as other nights because they mix it up for all different ages. Sports Zone isn’t just targeted for one age. They put an event calendar up in advance for people who need to get babysitters. Every Monday and Tuesday, they
have poker tournaments, which are free. Wednesday nights they have trivia nights. “Sundays we have karaoke and since football is over, NASCAR will be taking over and we will have things for that,” Zoe said. They also have a late night menu Thursday through Saturday where they serve until 12:30 a.m. “On the weekends, people eat dinner and then go upstairs while people who don’t want to be bothered with the live music just stay downstairs,” Zoe said. Most of the time there are no cover charges except when they have highly popular bands. Sports Zone now holds private parties as well as banquets. They can cater up to 150 people. “People like to use it because there is stuff for everyone,” Zoe said. “We are getting calls now for communions.” Sports Zone was highlighted in Gail Gerson’s four-star restaurant column and they received four stars in the Asbury Park Press and New York Daily News, Zoe explained. “We have very loyal customers and great people,” Steve concluded. Sports Zone is located in the rear building of the Aberdeen Pavilion. For more information, visit the website at www.sportszone34.com.

ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP – Julie Drapkin, 13, has lived in Aberdeen most of her life, and has been doing gymnastics since she was two years old. Her mother, Dulce Drapkin, signed her up for mommy and me classes because Julie’s two other sisters were in gymnastics. Julie is one of the top gymnasts in the area right now. She participates in four events: the bars, beams, floor, and vault. “My favorite is beam. It’s fun and has always been easy. I also have always been good at it,” Drapkin said. Drapkin’s goal is to make the national team and international elite. She said she looks up to gymnast Shawn Johnson because she won an Olympic gold medal on beam and she is always smiling and happy. “She is also my favorite because she is tiny like me,” Drapkin said. “I also look up to my mom because she has been my coach for many years within gymnastics and outside of it,” Drapkin said. Drapkin goes to Monmouth Gymnastics and is trained by Maggie Hannie. “Maggie was a star gymnast at Carolina State and she received a perfect 10,” Drapkin said. Drapkin is homeschooled and puts in 35 hours a week. Her favorite subject is math. Drapkin’s favorite place to compete was at Parkettes in Allentown, Pa. “All my best friends are gymnasts so
Julie Drapkin normally when we hang out we end up making up dances. We always end up working out,” she said. Drapkin travels all over the country and has friends from everywhere including Florida and Texas. Drapkin explained that she doesn’t know what her life would be like without gymnastics, and that there is nothing else she could imagine. “I want to succeed and I also want to make international league. That’s what I am determined to do,” she concluded.
Local doctor offers free
services for veterans
MATAWAN BOROUGH — Dr. Richard Marzo, of Pinnacle Wellness and Pain Relief in Matawan, is proud to be participating in “Healing Hands 4 Heroes.” The program was officially launched on April 16 by the Association of New Jersey Chiropractors and Army One Source, a military support group. As a provider participating in the program, Marzo will be providing a minimum of 60 days of free chiropractic care to returning veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. “Our returning veterans often face an array of challenges that they deserve help with after serving our country. The challenges frequently include physical injuries and the broad spectrum of symptoms related to stress. As a chiropractor with over 20 years experience in physical medicine and nutritional therapies I feel I can help make a difference for the returning heroes,” Marzo said. “It’s great to have the opportunity to give something back to these men and women that have done something so
3/25/11 2:48 AM
significant for us, but often goes unrecognized.” There are chiropractors throughout the state offering their services for the “Healing Hands 4 Heroes” program. They have all been provided with courses to expand their knowledge to do a better job for the veterans. “We have had the opportunity to receive additional education via an online course provided by Army One Source called ‘Treating the Invisible Wounds of War’ to help us better understand the unique challenges returning veterans face in everyday life,” Marzo said. Marzo can be reached at Pinnacle Wellness and Pain Relief at 732-566-8700, 1070 Highway 34 in Matawan. Veterans in other areas of New Jersey will be able to find participating chiropractors at www.njchiropractors.com which is the ANJC web site. Marzo urges everyone to help make the program a success by passing on this information to other families and veterans across the state.

County has Earth-friendly, spring cleaning reminders MONMOUTH COUNTY – If your spring cleaning involves getting rid of computer and electronic equipment, books, old documents and confidential files, unused paint or pesticides, used motor oil, furniture or eyeglasses, Monmouth County can provide some help and guidance. “One of Monmouth County government’s responsibilities is to provide regional services like solid waste disposal,” Monmouth County Freeholder Director Robert D. Clifton said. “We do this by managing the county landfill, supporting municipal recycling programs and working to remind residents that by disposing of trash and recycling as appropriate can add years to the landfill and help reduce the county tax rate.” Residents can responsibly dispose of most hazardous waste on May 7 in Hazlet, or they can take their acceptable items to the county’s Household Hazardous Waste facility in Tinton Falls throughout the year. “Either way, there is no charge for homeowners to bring items to a county hazardous waste facility,” Curley added. Year-round hazardous waste disposal appointments are available at the county’s Household Hazardous Waste facility at 3211 Shafto Rd. in Tinton Falls. Call 732922-2234 for information, hours and to make an appointment. School and municipal agencies must make alternate disposal
arrangements. Businesses must contract privately for proper disposal of hazardous waste materials. “Old, discarded tires are a problem because they are convenient breeding grounds for mosquitoes,” Clifton said. “As we head into our prime mosquito season, residents should remove all old tires and other containers that could collect stagnant water from their yards. Residents can take up to eight tires to the county Reclamation Center for no charge, safe disposal.” “You can recycle usable computer and electronic equipment to friends or family members, but when the equipment is no longer usable, it should not go out with your regular trash,” Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone said. “The county has partnered with 14 municipalities to provide convenient electronic recycling sites for computer parts, televisions, radios, cameras, telephones and other items.” The county Reclamation Center accepts these items as well as public works or recycling locations in Aberdeen, Belmar, Freehold, Freehold Township, Hazlet, Holmdel, Howell, Long Branch, Marlboro, Middletown, Millstone, Ocean, Union Beach and Wall. The maximum amount of computer and electronic equipment that may be dropped off is limited to five cubic yards – approximately what will fit in the
bed of a regular pickup truck. State law now prohibits the disposal of computers and televisions with your regular trash. Additional information about computer and electronics recycling and other items that are recyclable or require alternate disposal methods, log onto the county’s Web site at www.visitmonmouth.com or by calling 732-922-8686. “We are happy to provide paper shredding events at five municipal locations this spring that will assist with responsible paper disposal and help residents reduce the potential for identity theft,” Arnone said. “The county continues to be proactive in removing recyclables from the waste stream and we encourage residents to do their part to help by making use of other county services for proper waste disposal as well.” At the paper shredding events county residents may bring up to 100 pounds to be shredded. All papers will be shredded on location in the mobile truck. This project is an example of one of the many ways that the county works with municipalities to share services for the benefit of residents. “The Monmouth County Library helps the environment by encouraging residents to donate books and other materials,” Freeholder Lillian G. Burry said. “Donations of books and other items are accepted at most county library locations with the under-
standing that the items may be added to the library’s collection or sold in the Friends of the Monmouth County Library book sale.” All donations are at the discretion of the librarian and donated materials may not be left outside the library or in the book drop. For additional information or questions about specific items, contact the county library location nearest you. “Your trash may be someone else’s treasure,” Freeholder Amy A. Mallet said. “Many of our local not-for-profits accept donations of clothing, furniture, appliances, working computers and electronics. Some of the items go to our neediest of residents and other items are resold as gently used items to support other social service programs.” The county’s annual Recycling Directory, available online or by request from the county Planning Board, includes a list of pick-up services for usable good, eyeglasses, film canisters, videotapes and even Styrofoam packing peanuts. Information about the paper shredding events, recycling and removing other items from the county’s waste stream may be obtained from the Monmouth County Planning Board section of the county’s Web site at www.visitmonmouth.com or by calling 732-431-7460.

Something for everyone at the Hobby Shop By ASHLEY DRAPKIN Correspondent ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP – The Hobby Shop in Aberdeen has several events that they will be holding in May, including special education week. “We have family game nights as well as arts and crafts. Everything is free for the most part,” Cathy Zavorskas said. “The idea is to give kids something to do.” During special education week, they have an information and demonstration event with toys. Parents and teachers will each learn how to teach a special needs child socially as well with toys. They gather a collection of toys, such as a balance board that helps special needs children with their balance as well as their motor skills. Also they have special gatherings where they can talk about their feelings and express themselves.
The Hobby Shop also has therapists on hand so the children can talk about things beyond the classroom. “We’ll turn the trains on because the kids want to play with them so much,” Zavorskas said. “Every year, we give gift cards for the kids for the Special Olympics,” Zavorskas said. Classes come in with special needs children to teach them how to shop and budget their money. The store is used for a variety of opportunities just to have fun, Zavorskas explained. There are also things at the Hobby Shop that the whole family can do together. “We’re not just a store. We reach out to the community and if you look beyond the doors you’ll see,” Zavorskas concluded. For more information, visit www.hobbyshopnj.com.
Matawan Forensics: Making waves
at the state championships By MATTHEW TOMASELLO Guest Columnist ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP — Matawan Regional High School’s Speech and Debate team has once again earned its place as one of the top teams in the state. Matawan had a very successful weekend at the annual New Jersey Forensics League State Championship Tournament, held at Ridge High School, in Basking Ridge, on March 4-5. Teams from all over the state came to participate in this rigorous competition, which gave students the opportunity to vie for a state title in their event. In fact, in order to even be allowed to compete, students had to qualify at a previous tournament throughout the year by placing or earning a certain amount of points. The grueling two-day event consisted of four regular rounds, a semi-final round, and a conclusive final round. Rankings were then determined based on contestants’ cumulative scores. Matawan did very well in the tournament showings. Out of the 24 competitors the team brought, 16 broke to semifinals and eight broke to finals. Among Matawan’s proud finalists were the team of Megan Maloney and Jake Petrillo, winning second place in Duo Interpretation; Matthew Tomasello, winning second place in Prose Reading; Kaitlin Nastro, winning second place in Improvisational Speaking; Anthony Holiday, winning third place in Dramatic
Interpretation; Phillip Esposito, winning fourth place in Dramatic Interpretation; Anthony Barberio, winning fourth place in Improvisational Speaking; Megan Maloney, winning fifth place in Prose Reading; and Caroline Radigan, winning sixth place in Declamation. These students ranked in the state for their respective events. Advancing to the semifinal round (the top 12 in the event) were Matthew Tomasello, earning seventh place in Improvisational Speaking; Phillip Esposito, earning eighth place in Humorous Interpretation; Patrick Leemann, earning eighth place in Declamation; Anna Koffman, earning eighth place in Prose Reading; Mikayla Petrilla, earning ninth place in Dramatic Interpretation (and 13th in Prose Reading); Anthony Holiday, earning tenth place in Poetry Reading; Jake Petrillo, earning tenth place in Improvisational Speaking; and Kaitlin Nastro, earning 11th place in Humorous Interpretation. Also representing Matawan that day were Evan Amster (who earned 13th in Impromptu Speaking), Ashley Anderson, George Ayoub, Alison Bethea, James Buhse, Chidanand Khode, Ian Laudano, Sabrina Laverty, Derek Leckner, Tim Makalinao, Ryan Monagle, Margaret Morales, Ugne Sniraite, and John Van Ness. The team did tremendously in the sweepstakes awards, winning second place in Speech team in the state. It was a great tournament and a picture-perfect finish to the regular Forensics season. Congratulations Matawan Speech and Debate.

THEATER REVIEW Love, rock ’n’ roll and big hair in ‘The Wedding Singer’ By MICHELLE TUCHOL Correspondent ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP – Although the cast of “The Wedding Singer” might be a bit too young to know what it was like living in the 80s, Matawan Regional High School sure got the ensemble, choreography and characters living in the era right. Although not a theater production original, “The Wedding Singer” was a hit based on a New Line Cinema film by the same name. Both the film and MRHS’s version tell a wacky story of how people find love but realize what they’re really looking for is right in front of them. Robbie Hart, played by Patrick Leeman, is a wedding singer who knows how to make the bride and groom feel loved on their special day. His charisma adds more to clients’ weddings than just another voice. It could be because he’s also about to marry the love of his life, Linda (Sarah Elidrissi). But on the day of the couple’s wedding, Robbie is left standing at the altar. Sammy, played by Ian Laudano, Robbie’s band mate and close friend, hands the unsuspecting
groom a note that was left by Linda. The scene tugs at your heartstrings, but the letter is read in a clever manner. Robbie begins to read aloud and Linda comes to the opposite side of the stage and takes over, singing the rest of the letter. Regardless of perfect placement, her vain attempt to explain that she’s not in love with the man she used to know is over the top and leaves Robbie broken. After getting the shaft, Robbie is miserable. His slightly eccentric grandmother, Rosie (Jessica Johnson), tries to cheer him up, as well as Sammy and George (Matthew Tomasello), Robbie’s third band mate. But the thought of going back to work with happy newlyweds makes Robbie disgusted with every aspect of love and marriage. Julia (Kayla Ryder), a waitress who works at the same banquet facility as Robbie, tries to take his mind off the unfortunate break-up by asking for help with her own wedding plans. Surprised at her engagement, Robbie eventually gives in and offers a lending hand, along with Julia’s cousin, Holly, played by Julie Ripple.
The trio continues to work on Julia’s wedding to make it the most memorable experience. But when a debate arises concerning the wedding day kiss, Robbie and Julia get more than what they bargained for. Julia and Robbie share a passionate onstage smooch to show Holly exactly how it’s done and sparks begin to fly. After the two come back to reality, Glen (Mark Garofolo), Julia’s fiancé, walks in on the slightly awkward moment. Robbie has no regrets after kissing Julia, especially after finding out what a creep Glen turns out to be. No one gets hurt… yet. Glen doesn’t know it, but Julia is falling for Robbie. Her thoughts about marrying Glen are now mixed and to top it all off, Holly wants to date Robbie. Julia doesn’t deter her cousin from asking Robbie out. In fact, Julia, Glen, Holly and Robbie all go out together on a double date. The mood is light until Glen braggingly admits to Robbie that he’s been cheating on Julia. Robbie is torn between spilling his guts to Julia and possibly ruining her wedding or letting her marry a man
who could take care of her financially for the rest of her life. Stories like these always have a happy ending. Even between the hard decisions Robbie, as well as the other characters in the play, must make, the dance sequences and humorous dialogue between the cast is able to keep the tone lighthearted. When Robbie finally makes the call to tell Julia about how he feels, it’s almost too late. Glen and Julia make a snap decision to hop a plane to Vegas and get married. Now it’s up to Robbie to stop them. With the help of celebrity impersonators, Robbie finds where the two are getting married and woos Julia with a sweet acoustic song titled “Grow Old With You.” Julia immediately chimes in, providing a beautifully sung duet. As Julia accepts Robbie’s heartfelt gesture, Glen is left in the dust. With fine tuned song and dance reminiscent of the 80s, ‘The Wedding Singer’ shows the audience that love prevails no matter what tax bracket you’re in and that the power of music really brings people together.

OUR CHARIT Y For seniors, Meals on Wheels
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. For more information visit www.interfaithneighbors.org or call 732-775-5155 x 212.
BBBS PROFILE
Jason Bialecki and Cody Jason and his Little Brother Cody recently celebrated two years of friendship in March and have shared many different activities. Big Brother Jason, of Matawan, said he enjoys spending time with Cody and loves introducing him to new things. He is just happy to be able to put a smile on Cody’s face. Jason says one of his favorite things about being a Big Brother to 13-year-old Cody is that he gets to do things he wouldn’t normally do like playing laser tag. He highly recommends the program to others who want to make a positive change in a child’s life and the community. Now is a perfect time to consider making a Big difference in the life of a child. Talking, playing games, participating in a community event, riding bikes, helping with homework or baking a cake are some of the ways to spend time with a Little Brother or Sister and it only requires a few hours of your time each month. The agency has over 40 children waiting for a mentor so call 732-544-2224 or visit www.bbbsmmc.org today to find out more about being a Big!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth and Middlesex Counties is a donor supported volunteer agency. BBBSMMC serves children ages 6 to 17 years through one-to-one mentoring and expect to serve at least 550 kids in 2011.

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-
COMMEMORATIVE record ALBUM & THE PAPAL REVIEW FOR ONLY
$19.95
Make checks payable to:
Interstate Electronics, Inc. Airport Plaza 1394 State Route 36 Hazlet, NJ 07730 732-264-3900 You can save shipping charges by picking up the Commemorative record Album and Papal Review at the above location.
