QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"Brewing is kind of like chess. It'svery easy to understand thegame, but it's very hard tobecome a full master becausethere is a lot to learn about."

— RonWitkowskiPage 28

BY KATHY CHANGStaff Writer

After many restless and sleepless nights, thewords just started spilling out on paper.First came the poem "Always on My

Mind," which William Koch Jr. wrote about hisson, U.S. Army Cpl. Steven R. Koch, two monthsafter Steven was killed in Afghanistan.

Steven had enlisted in the Army in 2006 andwas a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division.He was deployed to Afghanistan in January 2007.

He was 23 in March 2008 when he died fromwounds suffered when an improvised explosivedevice (ED) was detonated in a vehicle outsidethe building where his platoon was located in theSabari District. The building collapsed on the en-tire group. Steven and another soldier died; otherswere wounded.

It was almost a year later when Steven's fatherwrote his second poem, "Empty Chair."

"I was sitting in our living room and startedlooking around, and I heard the floor creak, thelarge grandfather clock in the room had stoppedstill in time, and I looked out at the black sky out-side," said Koch, who is a resident of Milltown,Middlesex County. "I then focused on his chair,which we had designated for Steven because hewas the only one who would sit in it."

Koch and his wife, Christine, now keep a hand-made quilt and two 82nd Airborne blankets on thechair in honor of their son.

Koch has since pennedabout 165 poems and morethan 50 of mem are featuredin his first book, "Casualtiesof War — Words & Imagesfrom the Heart of a Gold StarFather," published by TatePublishing and Enterprises.

Koch said he was postinghis poems on his Facebookpage, and many people wereso moved that they suggestedhe publish them in a book.

He did just that and is nowworking on putting together asecond book of poems.

Depicted on the cover of"Casualties of War" are twoempty chairs — one forSteven and one for his sister,Lynne C. Koch, who took herown life in May 2010 at theage of 29.

"These are our casualtiesof war," Koch said. "Lynne loved her brother somuch. She cared for him."

William and Christine said their son anddaughter made the ultimate sacrifices.

"Steven protected our country. He protected

our family and that is all hewould talk about," Kochsaid. "He loved helpingother people, as did all ourchildren."

The couple has anotherchild, William Koch HI, ofEast Brunswick.

Steven, who left behinda wife, Amy, and a daugh-ter, Zoe, was a true volun-teer. He had becomeimpassioned about defend-ing America after the Sept.11,2001, terrorist attacks.

His brother worked inclose proximity to theWorld Trade Center at thetime and family memberswere wracked with fearuntil they were able toreach William that day.

The tragedies of thatday prompted Steven to en-

list in the Army.It is Steven's desire to help, and the sacrifice

he made, that has his parents feeling they havebeen "drafted" to participate in programs such asthe Wounded Warrior Project, which provides pro-

grams and services to severely injured servicemembers after returning from combat, and theyalso took part in the Run for the Warriors 5K onSept. 11 in New Brunswick.

Steven's brother participated in the run with hisfriends.

Christine Koch said she and her husband arestarting to work with groups on the issue of post-traumatic stress disorder. She believes her daugh-ter suffered from PTSD.

"She was the 'little mommy' to her youngerbrothers," Christine said. "They were her boys.She just loved her brothers and they had the samecircle of friends."

William Koch said it is important to get theword out that returning soldiers need help, and inmany cases, so do their family members.

"These kids are making sacrifices to protect ourfreedom," he said.

Koch said he wants to reach as many people aspossible with his book. He said it is his way of notonly sharing his grief and the continual remem-brance of the children he lost, but also the sacri-fices made by the men and women who serve inthe military.

The book is available at bookstores, fromwww.tatepubUshing.com/bookstore, or by visitingbarnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

S.B. murder conviction overturnedSOUTH BRUNSWICK — The Appel-

late Division of State Superior Court re-versed a murder conviction handed down toa South Brunswick man who was convictedof running down his wife with a minivan onAug. 24, 2004.

Samander Dabas, 44, will receive a newtrial after appeals court Judges Marie Lihotzand Alexander Waugh Jr. threw out the con-viction by the Superior Court of New Jer-sey in 2007. At that time, he was sentencedto 30 years in prison for killing his wife,Rena Dabas, 20, after an argument at theSouth Brunswick Square Mall on Route 1.

According to Middlesex County Prose-cutor Nicholas Sewitch, Dabas visited hissister's dollar store with his wife, who hadmoved to the United States only a monthbefore the incident. They entered anarranged marriage in 2003, and Renu wasable to obtain a visa in July 2004.

Dabas drank heavily in the store andthen he and his wife drove away, the prose-cutor said. He hit a tree at low speed, and

Renu exited the 1999 Mercury Villager.When she refused to get back into the car,Dabas chased her around the parking lot andstruck her.

Sewitch said the car then stalled, andDabas attempted to restart it and leave thescene while his wife lay unconscious. Shedied on Aug. 27 after being removed fromlife support at Robert Wood Johnson Uni-versity Hospital.

Dabas was convicted of murder andleaving the scene of a fatal accident. Thelatter charge has not been reversed. The for-mer was dismissed, according to the judges,because a judge wrongly refused to instructjurors of the implications of a county inves-tigator's decision to destroy notes he madewhile interrogating Dabas. The notes wereused to take his statement.

The judges went on to say they believedDabas' actions were criminal but there isdoubt as to whether it rose to the level ofpurposeful or knowing murder.

COLLAR IDOne of the wonders of the

mouth is how the gums wraptightly around the teeth much likea turtleneck collar hugs the neck.At the edge of the gumline,the tis-sue folds back underneath itself,creating a snug 1-to 3-millimeterfurrow around each tooth (the"gingival sulcas"). To measure thehealth of the gums, the hygienistor dentist gauges the depth of thegingival sulcus at several pointsaround each tooth by inserting athis measuring rod (periodontalprobe). A depth of over 3 millime-ters may indicate that a pocket isforming between the tooth andgum, which is evidence of gumdisease. Treatment prevents mildgum disease (gingivitis) from pro-gressing to severe gum disease(periodontitis).

Route 1 bridge replacement nearscompletion in North BrunswickBY JENNIFER AMATOStaff Writer

NORTH BRUNSWICK — The Route 1bridge replacement project has reached sub-stantial completion in North Brunswick.

According to Timothy Greeley, press of-ficer for the state Department of Trans-portation (DOT) Office ofCommunications, the roadway was returnedto the final traffic configuration in late Au-gust.

"Some minor work continues at thistime, including electrical work, landscapingand project cleanup," he said.

Construction began in January 2009 be-tween the Milltown Road and the RydersLane interchanges just north of the Route1/130 interchange in North Brunswick. The$24.1 million project reduced the horizontaland vertical curvature below a structurallydeficient bridge that traveled over an aban-doned Conrail line, according to theNJDOT website. The proposed design re-placed the five-span bridge with a single

span bridge and interconnected local road-ways, removing severe curves below thebridge and improving accessibility to theadjacent businesses by building a bridgewith a lower and shorter profile that will im-prove sight distance on Route 1.

"I'm glad the construction is over," saidMayor Francis "Mac" Womack. "It doesseem to me it is a more seamless highwaynow and that the ongoing improvements toRoute 1 are going to be advantageous toNorth Brunswick and the businesses here.We shouldn't forget this project was donebecause it was the old railroad bridge. Andin a time when it's tough to come up withmoney to rebuild our infrastructure, I amglad we got through this project rather pain-lessly and got a new bridge that will last forfuture generations."

There is no plan for a ribbon-cutting cer-emony for the new bridge, Greeley said.

NORTH BRUNSWICK—Make A Dif-ference Day, held on Oct. 22 this year,marked a day to serve the community andworld. There are three ways to contribute onthis day: create a new project, give an ex-isting effort an emphasis, or carry out a re-ligious project on Oct. 23.

In North Brunswick, seven volunteerstook the second option and beautified aSept. 11 memorial site in town.

"By cleaning upthe site, we have

dents fromthe NorthBrunswickT o w n s h i pHigh School( N B T H S )Key Clubalong withVal Groll-man, an artteacher atN B T H S ,Grollman'sson, andN B T H SPrincipal Pete Clark cleaned up the area bypicking up trash around the monument. Theproject lasted an hour and a half.

"It's important to respect veterans andgive back to the community," said JonathanLin, a volunteer from the NBTHS KeyClub. He plans to help out again next year.

"The volunteers [were] very responsi-ble," said Clark. "It was greatly appreciatedthat they came out and helped clean up thesite."

The memorial had been donated to thetownship by the New Jersey Department ofTransportation and Construction Compa-nies.

The site is a secondary location in NorthBrunswick to honor the victims of the ter-rorist attacks of Sept. 11,2001, and is not tobe confused with the 9/11 site across fromthe Municipal Building, which has alreadybeen maintained.

"The memorial site that we cleaned uptrash and pulled weeds in has not beenmaintained and is really forgotten," saidClark, "so we completed our secondcleanup at this site."

The first cleanup took place on Sept. 10before the ceremony for the 10th anniversaryof Sept. 11

Clark believes that the project will havea long-term effect.

"By cleaning up the site, we have nowcreated more awareness among our resi-dents that this site exists," he said. "Wehope, through a partnership with the town-ship, that the school district will continue tokeep the Sept. 11 site maintained while alsotrying to get two businesses [Chili's andBarnes & Noble] nexl^|J|j|jj|ite to assist usin a community-wide project.'

Two local women honored by CIL in South BrunswickBY DEANNA McLAFFERTYStaffWriter

SOUTH BRUNSWICK — The SouthBrunswick Citizens for Independent Living(CLL) will honor two local residents for theirservice to the community during its annualIndependence Ball on Nov. 5.

Ellen Gambatese, of Kendall Park, andJamie Rainy, of Monmouth Junction, will re-ceive CEL's Barry Indik Community ServiceAward at this year's ball, which is in its 20th

year. The award is presented yearly to indi-viduals whose volunteer efforts have im-proved the lives of others in the community,according to CLL.

The nonprofit organization aims to em-power developmentally disabled adults andhas established an apartment complex —CLL Woods — for adults with learning dis-abilities.

"It is very important to give back to thecommunity, and that is one of the main goals

at CLL," said Jessie Parker, CLL president.Parker said the organization participates

in a community cleanup day in April, andmembers also help wrap silverware forSouth Brunswick's food bank.

Gambatese, wife of Mayor Frank Gam-batese and chairwoman of the township'sHousing and Community Development Ad-visory Committee (SBHCDAC), is beinghonored for her involvement in a long list ofvoluntary activities. She is on the townshiplibrary's board of trustees, serves as chair-woman of the Block Grant Committee forcommunity development, helps the Hugs forBrady Foundation, and participated in Hur-ricane Katrina relief. Parker said Gambatesetook the lead in gathering food and local re-lief supplies and delivering them to a hard-hit area of Mississippi.

Last year, Gambatese was named Trusteeof the Year for Middlesex County libraries.

Rainy is not only an honoree this year,

but also a resident of CLL Woods — the firstto be presented with this award. Parker saidthat although she is disabled, she is a highlyfunctioning and highly active member of thecommunity. She is an associate member ofthe Monmouth Junction Rescue Squad andvolunteers at the Oak Woods Senior Com-munity.

The award is named after Barry Indik,who assisted CLL in raising funds to buildCLL Woods.

"He was very community-oriented, sothis is a way of honoring him," Parker said.

His widow, Harriet Hershenor, who hasremarried, will present the award at the In-dependence Ball.

The ball will be held at the DoubleTreeHotel in Princeton. The cocktail hour will beheld from 6 to 7 p.m., with dinner and danc-ing from 7 to 10:30 p.m. There will be doorprizes and raffles. For more information, call732-355-0620.

S.B. expands its transportation options for seniorsCounty shuttle,

Community Cars programhelp residents travel safely

BY DEANNA McLAFFERTY,Staff Writer

SOUTH BRUNSWICK — The Agingin Place Partnership explored SouthBrunswick's transportation opportunities atits annual outreach forum on Oct. 29.

Despite the surprising snowstorm lastweekend, AIPP met with local officials andresidents who were able to travel to the sen-ior center, about current and future trans-portation options. The forum was shortened

because of the weather conditions, but AIPPmember Jacque Rubel, of Kendall Park,said it was an extremely productive meet-ing.

"The purpose of the forum is to bring to-gether the diverse populations in or aroundthe area to learn from us and for us to learnfrom them," she said.

One senior option Rubel and the otherAIPP members made sure to publicize is theMl county shuttle bus stop on Route 522 atthe Stop & Shop shopping center. The stopwas established in July, but Rubel said thereare many township residents still unawareof the service.

"It's not just for seniors but anybody in

the township," she said. "It's important forpeople looking for jobs up and down the[Route] 130 corridor. You can go up to NewBrunswick or down to Jamesburg."

AIPP also announced its intentions topartner with EZ Ride to bring yet anothersenior option to the community. EZ RideExecutive Director Krishna Murthy metwith AJPP facilitator Pat Kay on Nov. 1 totalk about providing their Community Carsprogram to South Brunswick seniors.

According to the EZ Ride website, theprogram "fills the gap between the fixed-route, fixed-schedule government servicesand the more expensive private services."Rubel refers to the program as the "missing

While the township sponsors medicaland grocery runs once a week, CommunityCars offers curb-to-curb transportation forany purpose. Rubel said this opening up ofsenior options is necessary for those whowish to age in place. Since the weatherforced AJPP to cancel the scheduled after-noon roundtables, those will be offeredthroughout the year for seniors to gain up-to-date information about their transporta-tion options.

Rubel emphasized that ACPP depends onthe support of federal, state and local gov-ernment and business help to make signifi-cant progress. She said township officialsand local businesses have been supportivesince 2009, when the organization began itstransportation mission.

"The secret to AIPP's success is work-ing with stakeholders, nonprofits, the gov-ernment and business," she said. "Youknow what happens if you take away one ofthose legs? Nothing."

Rubel specifically points to the Middle-sex County Department of Transportation,Easter Seals and the National Council onSenior Transportation, as invaluable part-ners.

Public Affairs Coordinator Ron Schmalzsaid an important way to discover newtransportation resources is through a cross-agency approach.

"We intend to continue our cooperativeefforts after the event," he said.

Transportation is one of five AIPP prior-ities; the other four are accessibility; health,wellness and safety; housing and homemaintenance; and quality of life. The orga-nization's next priority is health, wellnessand safety, with a focus on home care.

They say November is the silly seasonbecause of the goofiness of the localand national political campaigns —

but if you look at what happened as folks gotready for Halloween in the Northeast, Octo-ber is pretty whacky as well.

It turns out that students in the Spring-field, N.J., school districts got to wear theircostumes to the Halloween parties at schoolafter all, but it was a close thing. Schools Su-perintendent/Evil Great Pumpkin MichaelDavino and the schoolboard sent out a de-cree from their Mor-dor-like office earlierin the month sayingthey thought all thatcostume wearing andorange cupcake eating interfered with alearning day, and they wanted no part of it.Guess they had to keep as many learningdays on the schedule as possible, becausethere were so many days already blacked outfor teacher learning seminars and other im-portant whatnot.

Then, he started getting the calls fromirate students and parents and — lo and be-hold — he saw the light. "I have come to un-derstand that the elementary schools, withoutmy knowledge, were planning Halloweenparties on Monday," he said late last week."Having discovered that, and having heardfeedback from the community, I agree thatthere seems little point in preventing childrenfrom wearing costumes because these par-ties are taking up educational time anyway."

Detective work like that is why they payDavino the big money, I'm guessing. I'll bethe really had to look under a lot of rocks tofind out that Halloween parties had beenplanned in his schools. And I'm sure he wastoo busy writing memos and such to notice theHalloween parties any of the previous years,or even see the pictures of said events thatwere likely in the local papers. Even schoolssuperintendents can't be expected to knoweverything, although they often want us to be-lieve they do. Case in point, ex-Long BranchSchools Superintendent Joseph Ferraina.

Then there was Connecticut State Repre-sentative Tim Larson, who said he wanted tointroduce state legislation to move Hal-loween to the last Saturday in October, so itwould be more convenient. When you set thedate of Halloween in stone on Oct. 31, thatmeans it sometimes falls on a weekday, andparents have to rush home from work and getthe kiddies all gussied up, and be ready tohand out candy at their front doors. It'sstressful, is what it is, and it could all besolved by making Halloween a floater.

He didn't take into account that Hal-loween falls on Oct. 31 for a reason. The pa-gans celebrated it as Samhain, the day of thethird and final harvest and a day to communewith the dead. They celebrated it with lavishfestivals, but it has morphed in modern soci-eties like ours into one of the biggest com-mercial and social events of the year. I don'tknow how many Halloween stores there arein my home community of East Brunswick,but it seems like there's one on every coiner.I imagine it's that way in other parts of thecountry as well. I wonder how they'd feelabout Larson's whining. I imagine they'd

CODAT

GREG BEAN

send a few zombies after him to change hismind.

He also didn't consider that many com-munities already have their own regulationsconcerning Halloween that seem to be work-ing. In some towns they limit the hours fortrick-or-treating, and in some they say trick-or-treating should be done on a Saturday, ifthe holiday falls during the week. But that'sonly legislating how the kids observe theday. They let the grown-ups figure it out for

themselves.But Tim Larson

knows best, at least hethinks he does for hisconstituents in hisConnecticut district. Ithink he ought to tread

lightly. It's just this sort of weird social en-gineering that could make an opponent startlooking good in the next campaign.

I do have one more question, however. IfLarson is successful in moving Halloween toSaturday, what will it mean for school par-ties during the week?

Has he even thought of that?• • •

Speaking of schools, did you see the pic-tures of that school crossing warning paintedon the road in Broward County, Florida? Inhuge letters, the contractor spelled itSCOHOL.

That's bad enough, but the people at theschool district who approved the work, did-n't notice it either. I hear the kids down thereare singing, "Scohol days, scohol days, dearold golden ruhol days," but the person whotold me that might have been making it up.

• • •A few years ago, I wrote a column about

the fact that I wake up every morning with adifferent song stuck in my head that stays thereuntil another one replaces it the next day. I saidthat was fine when the song is "Brown EyedGirl" by Van Morrison, and an incredible bum-mer when it's "Yummy, yummy, yummy, I'vegot love in my tummy" by The Archies.

I heard from several readers after that col-umn who said they experience the exactsame phenomenon, and one message from areader who said she'd actually gone insanebecause "Last Train to Clarksville" by theMonkees had been bogged in her brainpanfor a week and she couldn't get it out.

We should all be happy that scientistshave finally given that song-stuck-in-the-head business a name: It's called an earworm. That's just creepoid.

• • •And speaking of creepoid, have you seen

the commercial for POM Wonderful pome-granate drink, where the big python is crawl-ing up Eve's leg in the Garden of Eden? Itstarts at her feet, slithers up her leg andcomes to rest with its head on her hip. Themessage of the commercial is that maybepomegranates, and not apples, played a rolein original sin.

The message I get is: Never Drink ThatStuff Unless You Want a Giant Python onYour Naked Body! I wonder if the market-ing people anticipated that.

inated by Mayor "Francis" Mac Womack,and Debbie Druker was nominated byRabbi Mendy Carlebach of the Chabad ofNorth & South Brunswick.

"Because of what all of you did, thou-sands of people were sheltered [and] fed,until they could return home, and it was nosmall accomplishment," Christie said dur-ing the ceremony, applauding the effortsmade before, during and after the storm tokeep people safe.

"I wanted to be able to look all of you inthe eye and say thank you personally for notonly how well you served your neighborsand friends and many people I am sure youhad never met before, but also to say thankyou for how great you made our state lookto America."

Cohen is the president of the NorthBrunswick First Aid & Rescue Squad, buthas also been a disaster volunteer with theRed Cross for more than 15 years, as well asthe Middlesex County Disaster Team leader.She has managed several relief shelters inthe past, so she decided to assist Branciforteand Druker with establishing a shelter forevacuated residents at the township highschool.

"I knew that the storm would be stress-ful enough on everyone so [I thought] myexperience with sheltering during majorstorms might help," Cohen said.

Cohen spent the first few hours of thestorm at the high school setting up and set-tling in some of the residents. Before theweather progressed, she left the school toreturn to her post at the rescue squad, whereshe worked overnight.

"We had approximately 20 people work-ing for the next 48 hours. Some of our staffeven brought their family members to staywith us during the storm. There were airmattresses everywhere," she said. "Whilethe first few days afterward were challeng-ing for some, overall we recovered veryquickly."

Branciforte and Druker could not bereached by press time.

Cohen accepted the recognition on be-half of her entire squad, "and all of our staffwho give of themselves every day to helpothers."

Dan Jolly, the chief of the township FireDepartment, expressed the same sentiments.He said he "didn't do anything above andbeyond anyone else" throughout the storm,but instead credited the entire volunteerforce of all three fire companies for their ef-forts.

"Everybody did what they had to do inthe storm," he said, which included secur-ing utilities and shutting off the gas andelectric supply in flooded basements, evac-uating residents in need and attending to firealarms.

Mark Cafferty, the township's new coor-dinator for the Office of Emergency Man-agement, attended the governor's ceremony,saying he appreciated Christie's "sincereand very thankful" comments for all volun-teers.

"These are people that left their familiesto assist other people from North Brunswickin a time of need," Cafferty said of his owncounterparts. "They are good people whoworked hard for days."

'Rachel's Challenge' programinspires a chain reactionBYLANALI-Correspondent

NORTH BRUNSWICK — The NorthBrunswick community was inspired to starta chain reaction on Oct. 24.

Rachel's Challenge, a nonprofit organi-zation, was inspired by Rachel Joy Scott,the first victim of the 1999 Columbine HighSchool massacre in Littleton, Colo., that left12 students, one teacher and the two shoot-ers, high school seniors, dead.

Rachel had left six diaries. In them, sherepeatedly conveyed the importance ofspreading kindness. She had a mission tostart a chain reaction of compassion.

"I was so inspired to spread Rachel'sgoals," said Jimmy Braden, the program'spresenter.

Braden said that Rachel also challengedthe world to achieve five goals:

• Eliminate prejudice by looking for thebest in others.

• Dare to dream; set goals and keep ajournal.

• Choose your influences; input deter-mines output.

• Kind words; small acts of kindness cre-ate a big impact.

• Start a chain reaction with family andfriends.

"[Rachel's] message is very touching,"said Vesta Mahadik, a math teacher at Lin-wood Middle School and a volunteer at theevent. "Everyone's dream is to spread kind-

ness, and that's what Rachel is doing. Sheis getting the entire community to spreadher message."

Rachel shares great similarities withAnne Frank. Both inspired and impacted theworld through their diaries, emphasizedkindness and were strongly against preju-dice. Both also had high goals that becamea reality.

In an essay titled "My Ethics, My Codesof Life," written six weeks before the mas-sacre, Rachel focused on honesty, compas-sion, and searching for the best in people.

"Compassion is the greatest form of lovehumans have to offer," she wrote.

Rachel has created a desire to spreadkindness and compassion in people of allages, from toddlers to teachers.

"Each one of us will take away some-thing different," said Brian Brotschul, prin-cipal of Linwood Middle School. "Today,2,000 people saw something a little differ-ent from the rest of the community."

The Rachel's Challenge presentationtook place at Linwood Middle School dur-ing the day and at North Brunswick Town-ship High School at night.

In the evening, people were greeted bythe Linwood Middle School band and or-chestra, led by Chris English and Rich Go-lazeski respectively.

In the auditorium, Linwood choir stu-dents, led by Nicole Hodge, also performedbefore the presentation.

Do red wine's health benefitsadd up? Health experts weigh in

By Bev BennettCTW Features

Most people have no doubt heard encouragingwords about red wine and better health; howthat glass of Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner

may reduce the risk of heart disease.But before reaching for the corkscrew, exercise cau-

tion."If you're over 50, and if you don't drink alcohol,

don't start," says Christine Gerbstadt, registered dieti-tian and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Asso-ciation.

Despite red wine's healthy aura, Gerbstadt andother nutrition professionals are wary of promoting it.

They question whether it's actually beneficial,whether consuming alcohol may lead to other issuesand whether people wouldn't be better off with heart-healthy alternatives.

"There's no indication that it [red wine] does any-thing for heart disease," says Roger B. McDonald, Ph.D.,professor, Department of Nutrition, University of Cali-fornia, Davis.

No scientific comparison trials have been done todetermine the specific effect of wine on heart diseaserisk, according to a statement from the American HeartAssociation, (http://www.americanheart.org).

"There are compounds in wine shown in vitro [testtubes] to work. Once they get in the body they haven'tbeen shown to work," McDonald says.

If wine doesn't improve a person's health, can ithave downsides?

Yes, says Dr. Gerbstadt.Wine is caloric. A 5-ounce serving of red wine con-

tains about 125 calories.If a person drinks a glass a day, she could be gaining

12 pounds a year if those calories aren't subtractedelsewhere, Gerbstadt says.

And if people eliminate other foods to accommo-date wine calories, they may be missing out on nutri-tional food choices.

"Wine is luxury calories.The amount of calories in

a serving [of wine] don't add significant vitamins orminerals to the diet," Gerbstadt says.

The alcohol may disrupt sleep and interfere withmedications.

But for those drinking wine for sake of betterhealth, there are inexpensive and low-risk steps onecan take to reduce the likelihood of developing coro-nary heart disease.

Staying active and sticking with a low-calorie dietare your best options, according to McDonald.

The other red drinkRed wine is touted for its heart protective

benefits because it's rich in antioxidantsand phytoiiutrients (plant substances) thatmay increase a person's "good cholesterol."

Some of the same antioxidants are foundin red grape juice and red grapes, whichdon't have alcohol's downside, saysChristine Gerbstadt, physician andregistered dietitian.

"Eat red grapes with the skins: the skinhas the benefits. Slice red grapes into asalad," she says.

Instead of the glass of wine with dinner,enjoy a grape juice cocktail.

Dr. Gerbstadt suggests mixing a smallamount of grape juice to reduce the drink'scalories.

"Take an ounce of grape juice, addchipped ice and fill the glass w ith dub soda.You get all the phytonutrients with farfewer calories; it's very refreshing," shesays.

(One ounce of grape juice is2 tablespoons; about 19 calories.)

HEALTH&FITNESSAn apple or pear a day may keep strokes away

pples and pears may keep strokesaway.That's the conclusion of a

utch study published in Stroke:Journal of the American Heart Associationin which researchers found that eating alot of fruits and vegetables with whiteflesh may protect against stroke.

While previous studies have linkedhigh consumption of fruits and vegetableswith lower stroke risk, the researchers'prospective work is the first to examineassociations of fruits and vegetable colorgroups with stroke.

The color of the edible portion offruits and vegetables reflects the presenceof beneficial phytochemicals such ascarotenoids and flavonoids.

Researchers examined the link be-tween fruits and vegetable color group

consumption with 10-year stroke inci-dence in a population-based study of20,069 adults, with an average age of 41.The participants were free of cardiovascu-lar diseases at the start of the study andcompleted a 178-item food frequencyquestionnaire for the previous year.

Fruits and vegetables were classified infour color groups:

• green, including dark leafy vegetables,cabbages and lettuces

• orange/yellow, which were mostlycitrus fruits

• red/purple, which were mostly redvegetables

• white, of which 55 percent were ap-ples and pears

During 10 years of follow-up, 233strokes were documented. Green, or-

ange/yellow and red/purple fruits andvegetables weren't related to stroke. How-ever, the risk of stroke incidence was 52percent lower for people with a high in-take of white fruits and vegetables com-pared to people with a low intake.

Each 25 gram per day increase inwhite fruits and vegetable consumptionwas associated with a 9 percent lower riskof stroke. An average apple is 120 grams.

"To prevent stroke, it may be useful toconsume considerable amounts of whitefruits and vegetables," said Linda M. OudeGriep, M.Sc., lead author of the study anda postdoctoral fellow in human nutritionat Wageningen University in the Nether-lands. "For example, eating one apple aday is an easy way to increase white fruitsand vegetable intake.

"However, other fruits and vegetablecolor groups may protect against otherchronic diseases.Therefore, it remains ofimportance to consume a lot of fruits andvegetables."

Apples and pears are high in dietaryfiber and a flavonoid called quercetin. Inthe study, other foods in the white cate-gory were bananas, cauliflower, chicoryand cucumber. Potatoes were classified asa starch.

Previous research on the preventivehealth benefits of fruits and vegetables fo-cused on the food's unique nutritional

value and characteristics, such as the edi-ble part of the plant, color, botanical familyand its ability to provide antioxidants.

U.S. federal dietary guidelines includeusing color to assign nutritional value.TheU.S. Preventive Health Services Taskforcerecommends selecting each day vegeta-bles from five subgroups: dark green,red/orange, legume, starchy and other veg-etables.

Before the results are adopted intoeveryday practice, the findings should beconfirmed through additional research,Oude Griep said. "It may be too early forphysicians to advise patients to changetheir dietary habits based on these initialfindings," she said.

An accompanying editorial notes thatthe finding should be interpreted withcaution because food frequency question-naires may not be reliable. In addition,"The observed reduction in stroke riskmight further be due to a generally health-ier lifestyle of individuals consuming adiet rich in fruits and vegetables," writesHeike Wersching, M.D., M.Sc., of Instituteof Epidemiology and Social Medicine atthe University of Munster, in Germany.

HEALTH&FITNESSHealthy tips for the cold and flu seasonBy Bill Iovino

As the seasons change we are onceagain challenged with the com-mon cold and flu. Everyone's

body reacts differently to the change inseasons, so it's important to figure outwhat steps work best for you. Manythings contribute to lowering the im-mune system's ability to ward off sick-ness. They include germs, stress, lack ofsleep, improper nutrition, vitamin defi-ciencies, and lack of exercise.

Here are some common steps to pre-vent the common cold and flu:

First and foremost, make sure you aretaking proper care of hygiene. Washinghands, sanitizing shared items such astelephones, and wiping down exerciseequipment (before and after) are exam-ples.

Everyday stress, coupled with theholidays, adds to the body's inability tofight off infection. Find ways to reduceyour stress.Take personal time to dothings you enjoy and that put a smile onyour face. Go play golf, take a mini-vaca-tion, meet a friend for dinner, go to themovies, or read a book.

Rest, rest, rest. Most of us just don'tget enough sleep. Sleep is an integral partto keeping our bodies functional. Every-

one's body is different; some peopleneed six hours, others need 10 hours,and others need somewhere in between.Proper amounts of sleep allow the body'simmune system to work optimally andrecover from the day's activities.

With the hustle and bustle of today'ssociety, improper nutrition leads tomany illnesses to include the commoncold and flu. Most of us are on the goand fast food is the norm for at least oneor two meals daily. Try finding or prepar-ing healthy meals the night before foryour daily intake, or at least consciouslyfind places that serve homemade andfresh, healthy food selections.

Most of us lack the right amount ofvitamins necessary from just eating. Sup-plementing with a daily multi-vitamin ortaking a daily dosage of vitamin C canalso aid in boosting your immune sys-tem, thus helping it ward off any un-wanted infections.

Finally, coupled with all the prior rec-ommendations, a proper exercise regi-ment is necessary to keeping the bodyfunctioning 100 percent. Exercise aidsin the reduction of stress and helpskeep the whole immune system in bal-ance.

Bill Iovino is the owner of RetroFitness in North Brunswick.

A dose of safety: medication management tips

Juggling multiple medications, OTCdrugs, vitamins and supplements canbe a prescription for trouble if youdon't take them safely.The following

tips can help.Brown-bag 'em. Bring all of the

medications you take — including pre-scriptions, vitamins and OTC pain re-lievers — to each of your health careproviders.That way, they can see whatyour other providers have prescribedand, if necessary, alert you to any poten-tial problems.

Get organized. Pill organizers canhelp you keep track of what you needto take and how often.And keeping alist of your meds on your refrigerator ornightstand can serve as a handy refer-ence.

Check expiration dates. ExpiredOTC or prescription meds may losetheir potency — or even cause adverseeffects.Throw out any expired medica-tions (if you're unsure of a medicine'sshelf life, ask your pharmacist).

Get tested. "Some medications, suchas Coumadin, may require that you haveperiodic blood work done," says StevenD. Missaggia, R.N., DCONA, director of

nursing at CareOne."Your physicianmay need to adjust your dosage basedon the results of that testing."

Don't share or skip. Never take amedication that's been prescribed forsomeone else, and be sure to take yourmeds as directed (ask your doctor orpharmacist what to do if you miss orskip a dose). "This is especially impor-tant when taking antibiotics — takingthem for a shorter period of time canpromote the growth of resistant strainsof infectious organisms or superinfec-tions," Missaggia adds.

Speak up. If you have any questionsabout your medications, or if you expe-rience unusual symptoms after takingan OTC or prescription drug, don't hesi-tate to call your doctor and/or pharma-cist.

N.B. school district asks for town-wide opposition to bullyingBY JENNIFER AMATOStqffWriter

NORTH BRUNSWICK — Becausebullying is a community-wide issue, Super-intendent of Schools Brian Zychowskiasked members of the Township Council tosupport anti-bullying efforts across theboard.

Since students spend their time at homeonJhe computer, on sports fields and withinthe community, Zychowski asked the com-munity to partner with the schools "to erad-icate all bullying that may take placethroughout North Brunswick ... [because]we know bullying goes on outside the wallsof our schools."

He asked for the support of township of-ficials, law enforcement personnel, youthsports organizations, store owners and othercommunity leaders, and suggested estab-lishing a task force that will work toward acommunity kickoff.

"It's a large vision," Zychowski said."Our goal is to really work with the chil-dren. ... We're trying to make positive be-havior cool and make positive behaviorsomething that's contagious."

The school district must follow exten-sive procedures detailed in legislation re-cently passed by the state in regard tohandling bullying complaints as well as pre-ventative education.

John Petela, the director of personnel forthe district, has been named the anti-bully-ing coordinator for the district. He has spentnumerous hours training district staff on thelegislation, which aligns with policies al-ready in place in North Brunswick.

However, within the confines of theschools, Zychowski expressed concern thatfiling the necessary paperwork in accor-dance with the legislation may detract fromthe true intent of school counselors, whichis to counsel and guide students in a posi-'tive direction. It takes several weeks andmultiple documents to investigate each bul-lying complaint. The mandate is unfundedby the state.

Zychowski said there are no complaintsabout addressing bullying and harassment,but that it is an "onerous procedure."

Councilman Robert Corbin noted thatresponsibility also lies on parents, to teachtheir children correctly.

"A lot of these kids see what happens athome. If you don't have the support of fam-ily, no matter what you do, you are notgoing to make a difference," he said.

All in all, the council expressed interestduring its Oct. 24 workshop meeting in as-sisting the school district in its endeavors.

Mayor Francis "Mac" Womack said thetown "certainly welcomes the opportunityto help in any way we can.".

Fans of The Beatles can enjoy their music once again when TheFab Faux return to the State Theatre in New Brunswick at 8 p.m.Nov. 5. The special evening, a presentation of HK Entertainment,will feature two full sets of The Beatles' music during a mixed-bagconcert of fan-favorite songs selected especially for this New Jersey |concert. The Fab Faux will be joined by Creme Tangerine Stringsand Hogshead Horns.

The Fab Faux brings together the talents of New York musiciansWill Lee, Jimmy Vivino, Rich Pagano, Jack Petruzzelli and FrankAgnello.

Petruzzelli is a native of East Brunswick. He attended RutgersUniversity and performed at venues in New Brunswick such as theCourt Tavern when he was younger.

The Fab Faux dedicate themselves to faithfully re-creating themusic of The Beatles, and they've been doing it since 1998. They'vebeen performing the music of The Beatles together longer than The Beatles actually did. They don't try to look likeThe Beatles, they focus instead on the music — with a full orchestra supporting them.

With a commitment to the accurate reproduction of The Beatles' repertoire, the Fab Faux are known for theirmeticulous re-creation of the songs many people have come to know and love, with an emphasis on the laterworks that were never performed live by the Beatles.

Those who were not lucky enough to experience The Beatles perform live in concert can now hear the music ofJohn Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr sounding exactly as it does on their favorite Bea-tles record albums. For tickets, visit www.statetheatrenj.org/fabjaux or call 732-246-7469.

Local guys brew new business venture in North BrunswickLove2Brew offers home-brewing

equipment, ingredients;open house Nov. 5

BY JENNIFER AMATOStaffWriter

NORTH BRUNSWICK — Making beerat home is simple, according to RonWitkowski and Mark Spezio.

You take a pot of water, boil it, addmalted extract and hops, boil it for anotherhour, put it in a bucket, add yeast and waita month.

"It takes three hours, and you wait amonth and you have 50 beers, and they'regreat beers," said Witkowski, one of theowners of Love2Brew, in North Brunswick."You never have more friends than when afresh-brewed beer is opened."

Love2Brew is a retail home-brewingsupply store, nestled inside a 2,500-square-foot warehouse off Livingston Avenue.Spezio constructed and repainted the store,which was the site of a former sheet metalfactory. Now a full range of equipment andingredients to make your own wine and beerline either side of the shop.

"Making beer is really easy if you havethe right instructions," said Witkowski, aNorth Brunswick native. "Even when youmess up, it's not bad. It's still better thanwhat you're going to be buying at thestore."

Witkowski and Spezio met nine yearsago as college roommates at Hofstra Uni-versity in Long Island, N. Y. Spezio's familyhas made wine and cider for years, so he has

experience with creating fresh beverages —he said he has personally made more than700 gallons of wine.

About three-and-a-half years ago thetwo tried a beer kit and were "hooked," ac-cording to Witkowski.

Drawing on what each could bring to thetable, the two decided to invest in their ownbusiness.

Witkowski's background in marketingand management includes serving as vicepresident of North American sales for a$400 million technology company. Spezio'sbackground includes knowledge of businessand contract management for his father'sconstruction company. He also has experi-ence as an EMT for the Fire Department ofNew York City (FDNY).

Because of a demand for home brewingand a lack of adequate supply shops in NewJersey, the 27-year-olds pooled their re-sources to turn what is normally a "hobbyindustry" into a "destination location."

The two friends opened their supplyshop on Oct. 11, along with the assistanceof intern Rachel Kruzik. They will hold agrand-opening celebration Saturday, Nov. 5,offering live brewing demonstrations, wineand beer samples, food tastings and a talkabout food and beer pairings from noon to 4p.m. Visitors of any age are welcome, butthose interested in sampling the alcoholmust be at least 21 years of age.

The men are not allowed to sell alcohol.However, once the proper licensing is se-cured, Love2Brew will offer on-premisesbrewing and lessons for those interested.

JENNIFER AMATO

Owners Ron Witkowski (I) and Matt Spezio will celebrate the grand opening of Love2Brew,a home-brewing supply shop located on Livingston Avenue in North Brunswick, on Nov. 5.

"We're in the business of helping peoplebrew and building home breweries,"Witkowski said. "Brewing is kind of likechess. It's very easy to understand the game,but it's very hard to become a full masterbecause there is a lot to learn about."

Spezio said that there is a certain pridein knowing you made your own beer orwine at home, besides the fact that it tastesfresher.

"It's something that you've createdyourself. You open it and you know it'sgoing to be a delicious beer ... like whenyou're cooking something and it's reallygood," he said.

Love2Brew is located at 1583 Liv-ingston Ave., Unit 2, off Route 1 south.

The store is open to the public 10 a.m.to 7 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sat-urdays, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.

"Our hope for the future is to build astrong central New Jersey home-brewingcommunity by providing superior service,combined with the best prices available inNew Jersey," Witkowski said.

ERIC SUCAR staffSouth Brunswick High School's Cayla Del Piano battled the snow and rain and a field of130 harriers at Thompson Park on her way to the Greater Middlesex Conference crosscountry title. The Viking senior was the only runner to break 20:00 (19:38) on the 5Kcourse. The Viking girls finished second to Metuchen.

Vikings' Del Piano capturesGMC cross country crown

As if running 5,000 meters weren'tenough of a challenge, Saturday'sextreme weather gave area cross

country runners something else to battle.The nor'easter that swung into the area

and dropped snow on Thompson Park andmade footing treacherous didn't preventthe Greater Middlesex Conference CrossCountry Championships from taking place.

For the girls, it was South BrunswickHigh School's Cayla Del Piano who han-dled the extreme conditions the best. TheViking senior was the only runner under20:00 on the day, stopping the clock in19:38 in winning the GMC title.

Her teammate Nicolette Mateescu wassecond (20:43), just a second ahead ofNorth Brunswick's Jennifer Salvatore(20:44).

Despite the one-two finish by Del Pianoand Mateescu, the Vikings finished secondto Metuchen, 58-66. Metuchen packed itsrunners in from fifth to 21, which wasgood enough to offset the Vikings' edge atthe top.

North Brunswick was sixth (163).Completing the scoring for the Vikings

were Melanie Huen (21:35), Kristin Tan(22:23) and Zenzali Lael (22:24), whowere 11-25-27.

North Brunswick's Harshasree Seelamwas 17th overall (21:46) but 15th in teamscoring for the Raider girls..-.w.y/t .

\ *, • * i' V

Over on the boys' side, Piscataway'sTim Ball was hardly slowed by the condi-tions as he toured the Thompson Park lay-out in 15:52 to win the GMC individualtitle. He was the only runner to break16:00. Runner-up Steve Flyn from Edisonposted a 16:30.

The top area finisher was Tyler Black-burn of South Brunswick, seventh in17:07.

Perennial champion Old Bridge wasvictorious again, with 46 points. SouthBrunswick was third (91) behind St,Joseph of Metuchen (62).

Thye Vikings' scorers behind Black-burn were: Ishaan Goel (17:31), Phil De-Frosia (17:47), Kyle McCann (17:54) andDaniel Boley (18:08). They finished 13-18-23-30.

The first runner to the line for NorthBrunswick was Brad Kilheeney in 19th

(17:50). The Raiders were 13* (398).It will be back to Thompson Park this

Saturday for the NJSIAA Central Jerseystate sectional championships. The run-ners are likely to find the Jamesburgcourse completely different this timearound.

Harriers will be racing to extend theircross country seasons at the sectionals.The top 10 individuals and top five teamswill advance to the group state champi-onships, at Holmdel Park on Nov. 12.

Raiders, Vikings pick upimportant grid victories

North Brunswick H.S.clinches GMC Red

BY WARREN RAPPLEYEACorrespondent

Both the South Brunswick and NorthBrunswick high school football teamscame away with important victories on

Friday.South Brunswick traveled to Edison for a

match-up with J.P. Stevens and the Vikingsformally locked up the Greater MiddlesexConference Red Division crown with a work-manlike 35-0 triumph.

It was only a matter of time to clinch thedivision for the Vikings, who have been dom-inating this fall in compiling a 7-0 record.

Coach Rick Mantz's team left no doubtthat it was going to bring home the school'sfirst outright championship. Just three min-utes into the contest, the Vikes went up 7-0when Darrell Harper scored on a 10-yard run.Soon it was 14-0 thanks to a Dave Flandersscoring run of 12 yards. South Brunswickstretched its lead to 21-0 early in the secondperiod on a 12-yard run by Dion Hooper, andnever looked back. Both Harper and Hooper,who ran for 59 yards, would score again forthe Vikes. T.J. Taylor hauled in four passesfor 76 yards.

South Brunswick shared the Red Divisioncrown with Sayreville and Piscataway in2008. Mantz said his team approachedStevens (2-5) like any other opponent. As aresult of the win, the Vikings are on track tofinish first or second in the power point rank-

ings that determine playoff berths forNJSIAA Central Group IV teams.

"You don't take anything for granted, andStevens played us hard," the coach said, 'for-tunately, we were able to get up early."

Next up for South Brunswick is a homegame against neighboring East Brunswick.

In North Brunswick, the Raiders recov-ered nicely from what could have been a dev-astating, 21-20, loss to Bishop Ahr the weekbefore.

This time out, coach Mark Zielinski'steam downed JFK, 28-0, to raise its record to4-3 overall. A win next Friday at South Plain-field should put North Brunswick into theCentral Jersey Group IV playoffs.

The Raiders jumped ahead, 14-0, to thedelight of a jubilant Senior Night gathering.Junior quarterback Tim Parson connectedwith Devin Clark for both TDs, coverirf^27and 16 yards. LeShawn Boyd did most of thework on the ground for North Brunswick,carrying the ball 19 times for 97 yards and atouchdown.

It was an important win for the Raiders,who seemed to be cruising to a playoff berthbefore running into Bishop Ahr (4-4). NorthBrunswick struggled badly in the first half,falling behind, 14-0, and were behind, 21-7,at the end of three quarters. A valiant fourth-quarter rally came up just short when a fieldgoal attempt was partially blocked.

"That was a tough loss and we needed toget back on track against JFK," Zielinski said."Right now it's all in our hands. We have togo out and win against South Plainfield. Weneed to be ready to play for four quarters!?'

Older and wiserNow that we're older, I hate doing the

* 12-hour driving days my husband in-oX ^ ^ • sists upon when we're on vacation. I

^ - always hated them but now I think it'sdangerous. Unfortunately, I can never win an ar-gument if I refer to the fact that we're older, be-cause he gets silent and mad. Do you have someammunition that doesn't involve slower reflexesand worse vision among seniors?

Try this: In nearly 17 percent of all driv-ing-related deaths, fatigue is a factor, ac-cording to AAA.

I'm still not understanding all thehoopla on hybrids. Every one I'vechecked into gets just 5 or 6 moremiles per gallon than their conven-

tional counterparts. I'm interested in being re-sponsible but why would I pay the hybridseveral-thousand-dollar premium for those num-bers? What am I missing?

A There are some hybrids that provide* substantially better numbers than• those you cite. The Lincoln MKZ hy-

brid, for example, gets 39 miles per gallon vs. 21mpg for its conventionally powered brother. Thedifferential isn't usually that great.

Some of the value/sensibility equation has todo with how many miles you drive and the kindof driving, highway or city. But the fact is, manypeople go the hybrid route to make a statementand a contribution, even if somewhat small, toreducing fuel consumption, even knowing thechoice isn't Likely to wind up saving themmoney.

Improvements in technologies, materials andother factors have upped hybrid mileage andpower. That's a trend that's expected to continue.But conventional vehicles are making boosted-mpgs improvements, too. Only time will tell howwidg or small the fuel-efficiency gap (and pricingstructure) will be.

Most adult drivers are happy toview their test-taking days inthe rearview mirror — and it

shows. One in five U.S. driverscouldn't pass a written driving test ifthey had to take it today. The NationalDrivers Test survey by GMAC Insur-ance found that 16.4 percent of drivers— nearly 37 million people — couldnot meet the basic requirements toqualify for a driver's license.

In the seventh national survey, driv-ers in Kansas came out on top, with anaverage test score of 82.9 percent.Drivers in Washington, D.C. came inlast with a 71.8 percent score.

There was a gender gap. One infour women failed the test, and a littlemore than one in 10 men failed. Thesurvey polled 5,130 licensed drivers 16to 65 who were tested with 20 ques-tions from state Department of MotorVehicles exams.

"All drivers need a refresher coursewhen it comes to rules of the road andit begins with education," saysGMAC's Scott Eckman.

markings.

3. When on a short entrance toan interstate where there is no ac-celeration lane:

A. Enter the far right traffic laneand speed up to the flow of trafficthere.

B. Use the shoulder of the mainroad to get up to the speed of thetraffic.

C. Speed up on the entrance onlyafter you have found a gap in traffic.

4. When you approach a stoppedschool bus with flashing red lights,you should:

A. Stop when approaching from ei-ther the front or rear.

B. Slow when approaching from ei-ther the front or rear.

C. Stop only when approaching fromthe front.

5. You may pass another vehicle onthe right when: '

A. You're traveling on a multi-lanehighway carrying two or more lanes oftraffic in the same direction.

6. Under most conditions, a safefollowing distance is:

A. Three seconds.B. Ten seconds.C. 20 seconds.
