The American Cancer Society will be in the township to study people who have never had cancer, in the hope of finding out how to prevent the disease in the first place.
If you can't cure cancer, how about doing the next best thing? Helping prevent it in the first place. That's the goal of a new American Cancer Society study. They're hoping to recruit adults who've never been diagnosed with the disease, and then follow them around to find out what they're doing - or not doing - that can have an impact on getting the disease in the first place. Participants for the study, known as Cancer Prevention Study 3 - or CPS-3 for short - are being recruited by the Central New Jersey region of the American Cancer Society this spring. One of the places where study subjects will be recruited is the YMCA at the Woodbridge Community Center. That happens on May 23 between 3 pm and 6:30 pm. Eligible participants include …

Jean Donato died in a bizarre accident a year ago during the township-promoted exercise event. A year later, her death is still ignored by officials- but the shakefest has been renamed and toned down.
A year after a freakish accident claimed the life of a longtime Woodbridge Board of Education employee, the township-sponsored exercise event that cost the woman her life has quietly disappeared. Instead, it's been revamped into a presumably safer 12-week dieting and exercise event, called the "Mayor's Spring into Shape Weight Loss Challenge." Residents who pay a $30 fee will get a t-shirt with Mayor John McCormac's fat fighting slogan, "Shape Up Woodbridge!" on it. They'll also receive a pedometer, nutrition education classes, and workout sessions at the Woodbridge Community Center. Big losers will win cash prizes, said McCormac in a statement on the event. In 2012, the exercise event was known as "Moves Like Woodbridge." The idea was …
