Group held Centenarian Party
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
One hundred years ago, New
Mexico and Arizona entered the
Union, the Titanic sank, automo-
biles were owned only by the
most wealthy and women were
not yet allowed to vote.
Many things were different
then.
Belle Maurer can attest to this,
as someone who was alive to see
many of the changes as they hap-
pened. To me it seems as though
the world has changed a lot,
Maurer said.
Born on July 22, 1912, Maurer
will be 100 this summer, but to
her, 1912 doesnt seem so long ago.
Life is very short, Maurer
said. It went by very fast.
Maurer is just one of five resi-
dents at Bear Creek Assisted Liv-
ing in West Windsor who are
turning 100 this year or who
have already hit the 100-year
mark. The community held a
Centenarians Party for the res-
idents on Thursday, April 12.
The party, said activities coor-
dinator Carmela Silodor, was
planned to coincide (almost) with
the hundredth day of the year
April 10.
Bear Creek resident Al Peter-
son is one of those who already
reached the century mark.
College
to host
event
on aging
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
On April 20, Mercer County
Community College will host
the countys inaugural confer-
ence on aging in the lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender
(LGBT) community. Titled
Coming of Age: Issues of
Aging in the LGBT Communi-
ty, the conference will include
keynote speakers Barbara
Satin and Justine Shuey, as
well as a panel discussion on
couples hopes and expecta-
tions for aging.
Workshops will be held on
the issues of financial plan-
ning for same-sex couples and
on providing residential care
for aging members of the
LGBT community.
Executive director of Mer-
cer Countys Office on Aging
Eileen Doremus emphasized
the conference is both neces-
sary and timely.
We really need to be sensi-
tive to another community
within our community, Dore-
mus said. It is likely that many
of those who provide care for
the aging, Doremus said, ei-
ther have not had experience
with the LGBT community, or
are unaware of the unique
challenges they face.

Were hoping to sensitize that
aging network, Doremus said.
Hopefully its going to open peo-
ples eyes to what people in this
community are dealing with.
Many couples in the LGBT
community have been living to-
gether for 20 or 30 years, said
Doremus, but are not legally mar-
ried, which may pose a number of
problems.
Members of the community
may have trouble getting visita-
tion rights to see or stay with a
partner at an assisted-living cen-
ter.
Director of Mercer Countys
Office for the Disabled Thomas
Shaw noted financial planning
for retirement can be especially
complicated for aging same-sex
couples since their relationship is
not accepted on a national
level.
Same-sex couples may need to
give their finances extra thought
since they cannot receive the ben-
efits programs such as Social Se-
curity and Medicare confer on
married couples.
For this reason, Shaw, said, the
conference will include a work-
shop on financial planning to give
members of the LGBT communi-
ty an idea of what their options
are and how to prepare for retire-
ment.
The conference is important,
Shaw added, because of the in-
crease in aging members of the
LGBT community.
Theres a large segment of the
population that is aging, but also
LGBT, he said.
In the 80s, Shaw said, many in
the community were not aging,
but were dying young due to
AIDS. Today, with better drugs
and medical care, many in the
community are getting older and
beginning to look for services as
they age.
The conference is also the first
of its kind in the area, Shaw said.
The only other major confer-
ence to discuss these issues was
held in St. Louis in 2010.
The conference is intended for
aging members of the LGBT com-
munity, said Doremus, as well as
those serving that community.
Frankly, thats everybody,
Doremus said.
Shaw is also hoping to see a va-
riety of attendees, including
those who work in hospitals, as-
sisted living centers and nursing
homes, as well as younger mem-
bers of the LGBT community
who are thinking about the issues
they may face as they age.
Were aiming for people from
all age groups, he said.
The conference will take place
April 20 at the Mercer County
Community College conference
center at 1200 Old Trenton Road
in West Windsor from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m.

APRIL 18-24, 2012 THE WEST WINDSOR SUN 5
Ill be 101 years old this July, if
Im still kicking, Peterson said.
For his age, Peterson is very
spry, and still walks though with
a cane. He reads The Wall Street
Journal nearly every day, owns
and uses a computer and gave up
driving just two years ago. Peter-
son insists his life is a typical one.
There were good times, bad
times, happy days and bad days,
Peterson said. I was luckier than
some, and not as lucky as others.
Peterson was born in northern
New Jersey, and as a young child,
lived on a farm along the Passaic
River in Bergen County before
moving to Irvington.
I still remember riding in this
horse and buggy we had, he said.
Peterson entered high school
as the Great Depression was
starting, and at 19, began working
as a messenger boy for a bank,
earning about $15 a week.
In December 1940, Peterson
was drafted into the Army, and
served for four years first in the
infantry for 14 months (that was
not to my liking, said Peterson),
before getting transferred into fi-
nance.
When World War II ended, Pe-
terson returned to his job at the
bank and worked there until re-
tiring, after 46 years, having
worked his way up to vice presi-
dent.
I can say there is a big differ-
ent between being close to the bot-
tom of the totem pole and on the
top of the totem pole, Peterson
said.
Like Maurer, Peterson is
amazed by how much the world
has changed over the past 100
years.
For one thing, he said, trans-
portation has certainly changed.
I remember the railroad
trains with their plush parlor
cars, Peterson said. (Its) as
though it were yesterday.
His first car was a Whippet, Pe-
terson said, for which he paid $50.
I drove it to the Chicago
Worlds Fair and back, he said.
One thing Peterson believes
hasnt changed is conflict.
I played with toy soldiers dur-
ing World War I and there has
always been a war someplace in
the world every year since then,
said Peterson.
That is the one thing Peterson
said he is convinced will never
change.
One hundred years from
today, there will still be war some-
where, he said.
Beating Peterson by a year is
Ann Bowman, who will be 102 on
Aug. 12.
On her birth certificate, howev-
er, Bowmans birth date is listed
as Sept. 4.
This is because her father did-
nt register Bowman until Sept. 4.
I was born at home, Bowman
said. We didnt go to the hospital
back then.
Her life has not only been long,
Bowman said, it has also been
very happy. This is despite the
fact that Bowmans first husband
died of a heart attack at 42.
That was an era of my life
that was very sad, said Bowman.
I said Id never find another
man like him.
Then, 10 years later, she met a
man exactly like her first hus-
band, who finally convinced her
to marry him.
I never could have dreamt Id
have two wonderful men in my
life, Bowman said.
Like Peterson, Bowman is still
youthful, in many ways.
Although currently in a wheel-
chair, she said she was walking
until about a year ago when she
broke her leg. Bowman is work-
ing with a physical therapist, and
hopes to be walking on her own
soon.
Im hoping I will walk again,
Bowman said. Im determined.
So whats the secret to Bow-
mans longevity? One is her
grandchildren.
Three of my grandchildren
are doctors, Bowman said, Now
you know why I lived this long.
Another reason, Bowman be-
lieves, is the loved ones in her life,
particularly her two husbands
and son Jerry.
I was lucky; maybe thats why
I lived this long, she said. Ive
had a wonderful life.

letters to the editor
in our opinion
M
oments after Rick Santorum
threw in the towel in his bid
to win the GOP presidential
nomination, the back and forth be-
tween President Obama and Mitt Rom-
ney began.
The Associated Press said the
Obama camp already is referring to
another Johnson-Goldwater cam-
paign. The Romney folks say the presi-
dent is trying to divide the country.
Obviously, these are critical issues
that are on the mind of every voter
(note sarcasm).
The bad news: We still have about
seven more months before Election
Day.
The good news: We have the
Olympics this summer to distract us
for a couple of weeks.
Maybe were being too pessimistic.
Maybe, this year, there will be a seri-
ous and thoughtful debate of the is-
sues, with both candidates presenting
their vision and ideas for the nation in
a respectful tone.
Or, maybe we get the 2012 versions
of Willie Horton, the Swift boat con-
troversy or a nuclear war scare (see
the aforementioned Johnson-Goldwa-
ter campaign). Hopefully, they wont
go all the way back to, say, 1828, when
allegations of murder and kidnapping
were bandied about.
The problem is that negative politi-
cal advertising works. It works well.
Ask Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
For whatever reason, voters respond
to personal attacks against candidates.
The more vicious, the better, it seems.
If it didnt work, the candidates would
stop doing it.
So thats the challenge for voters
this election year: If we want the can-
didates to act responsibly, discuss the
issues and generally treat voters with
the respect we deserve, we have to de-
mand it. If we want more of the same,
just continue to respond to the nega-
tive campaign ads.
Wed like to think that the candi-
dates will take the high road this year.
But were not holding our breath.
Seven months of this? Ugh
Petty shots between the president and his GOP challenger have begun
Go negative? It works
For all of the complaining about the
negativity and personal attacks in
political ads, the bottom line is that
they work. Voters respond to them.
Until that changes, expect more of
the same again this year.
VolunteerConnect wants
your volunteer stories
National Volunteer Week, this week, is
about inspiring, recognizing and motivat-
ing individuals who have given countless
hours to their community.
New Jersey has almost 9 million poten-
tial volunteers and over 40,000 nonprofits
in need of their services. If you are not yet
supporting an organization, we encourage
you to take a moment during National Vol-
unteer Week to look around and see how
you can be a part of changing your com-
munity and helping others in need. Does
your local senior center need help answer-
ing the phone? Does your school need a
garden? All non-profits can also benefit
from your professional work skills.
Equally as important, we encourage
non-profits and community organizations
to celebrate your volunteers. Volunteers
are the foundation of your group and can
have a profound impact on your mission
and success. Please take the time to thank
these special people. Use this week to rec-
ognize the volunteers who dedicate count-
less hours to your cause send a special
thank-you note, have a recognition break-
fast or give an award.
Together, volunteers and the organiza-
tions they support can set an example in
the community and show others that by
working together social change can hap-
pen and needs can be met.
We would like to hear from you. Please
share your inspirational volunteer story or
the story of how volunteers have made an
impact on your organization at www.Vol-
unteerConnectNJ.org. We would be hon-
ored to highlight your experiences on our
website and celebrate how volunteers have
the power to make a difference.

The following items were taken from re-
ports on file with the West Windsor Police
Department:
On April 5 at 11:51 p.m., Patrolman Van
Ness responded to the area of Worcester
Lane in West Windsor on the report of a
suspicious person who had been loitering
around the area for approximately 30 min-
utes. Upon arrival on the scene, Van Ness
met with a 20-year-old West Windsor man.
While speaking with the man, Van Ness
detected the odor of raw marijuana ema-
nating from the man. A search of the man
revealed under 50 grams of marijuana as
well as cigarette rolling papers.
The man was arrested and charged with
possession of under 50 grams of marijua-
na and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The man was later released, pending a fu-
ture court date.
On April 5 at 4:10 p.m. in Kohls in the
Nassau Park Retail Center, a 26-year old
Trenton woman concealed $621.99 of mer-
chandise consisting of various articles of
clothing in a luggage bag and a baby
stroller and left the store. The accused was
charged with shoplifting and given a fu-
ture court date. It should be noted the ac-
cused was working with an accomplice
who fled the scene prior to police arrival.
On April 5 at 10:10 a.m. in the WalMart
located in the Nassau Park Retail Center, a
24-year old Hamilton woman attempted to
shoplift 15 DVDs valued at approximately
$286. Loss prevention from WalMart
stopped the woman as she tried to exit the
store.
The accused was charged with shoplift-
ing and given a future court date.
POLICE REPORT
(NAPS) A great way to add
curb appeal to your home is to
start at the top with the most
style-appropriate roof.
Besides protecting your home
from the elements, the right roof
should complement your exterior
design scheme.
Not sure what kind of roof
suits your home? Here are a few
suggestions from the experts at
GAF:
French Country: For these
homes, the ex tensive use of stone
and other masonry products in-
corporates various accent colors.
Therefore, many different types
of shingles and colors look good
with this type of home. Camelot
Lifetime Designer Shingles, with
their slate-like design, add anoth-
er dimension of style to the roof
while still maintaining the in-
tegrity of the overall architec-
ture. For an affordable luxury op-
tion, consider Camelot II, which
has the same type of look as
Camelot but at a lower cost. The
sleek lines of Slateline shingles
also work well with the French
Country style.
Georgian: GAFs slate-look
shingles, such as Camelot, or the
sculpted tabs of Country Man-
sion shingles are recommended.
Typically, a more muted gray or
black design best matches the red
brick fronts.
Colonial: Colonial-style homes
have a very square and more sym-
metrical look to them, so the
slate-look family of shingles is
the best fit. Grand Slate and
Slateline shingles provide the
look of slate at a very affordable
price.
Tudor: With their steep-
pitched roofs, Tudor homes are
great for showing off an elegant
roof style. They tend to have
muted tones on the front facade
accented with brown or gray
cross-gables. Camelot and Slate-
line shingles are both good choic-
es for Tudor-style homes.
Craftsman: The Craftsman
style looks great with wood
shake-look shingles in earth
tones, such as gray, green or
brown.
Good bets are Timberline
shingles, a popular wood-shake
look, or Grand Sequoia and
Grand Canyon shingles, which
have a rugged wood-shake and ul-
tradimensional look.
Mediterranean and Italianate:
These ornate architectural
homes are typically sided with
stucco. Roof color choices are
warmer browns and terra-cotta
hues, as well as some dark grays.
The slate/tile look of Camelot
shingles in San Gabriel comple-
ments this architectural style
well.
Grand Sequoia and Grand
Canyon shingles, with their
warm color palettes, also make a
good match.
Ranch houses: Ranch-style
homes are characterized by their
one-story design with very low-
pitched roofs and spread-out floor
plans. Grand Sequoia shingles
provide a distinct dimensional
look to the roof, while Grand
Canyon shingles offer an ultradi-
mensional version of the premi-
um wood-shake option. Timber-
line is also a good choice.

Spruce up your
bathroom
(NAPS)While the real estate
market remains a challenge for
those looking to sell, some simple
staging and remodeling tips can
help make your home more at-
tractive to prospective buyers.
Bathrooms can sell houses but
not if they are lackluster and out
of date. While it can be easy to
spend five figures on a complete
remodel, there are less expensive
ways to give your bathroom a
fresh new look. For example, a lit-
tle paint, some fresh flowers and
new shower fixtures can take
your bathroom from outdated to
outstanding.
Here are a few tips to help:
If you cant afford to re-
place outdated wallpaper, work
with the colors you already have.
Buy some matching towels or a
new shower curtain to coordinate
the look.
If you can paint, its an easy
weekend project that will bright-
en the space. Go for lighter colors;
white is a classic.
Clear off the counters. This
is especially important in a small-
er bathroom to create the illusion
of more space.
Clean the bathroom thor-
oughly. Make sure everything
sparkles.
Styles change, so if possi-
ble, update your shower fixtures.
Finding fixtures in styles that fit
your decor doesnt have to break
your budget. For example, Speak-
man offers modern and tradition-
al collections.
Add a touch of luxury.
Scented candles, spa accessories
and rolled towels can help create
the sense of a spa.
Add a plant or a bouquet of
flowers for a burst of color.

Caring for
your granite
countertops
(NAPS)Granite countertops
are the most popular option avail-
able when it comes to kitchen or
bathroom remodeling. They look
great, theyre durable, but they
can also cost thousands of dol-
lars.
Granite requires special care
and attention because its a natu-
ral stone. Here are a few tips to
help you protect your investment:
Seal your countertops: Ac-
cording to the Marble Institute of
America, an industry group,
granite countertops should be
sealed so that the stone is more
resistant to dirt and spills. Check
with the manufacturer or retailer
about the best kind of sealer to
use on food preparation areas.
Be careful what you clean
with: Never use ammonia-based
productsor cleaners containing
vinegar, lemon or orangeon
your granite countertops. Avoid
abrasive cleaners such as dry or
soft cleansers. Dont use cleaning
products that contain acid such
as bathroom, grout, or tub and
tile cleaners. Specialty granite
cleaners can be used, but they can
be expensive. Theres a way to
stretch your dollars.
Mind your budget: JAWS
Glass & Hard Surface Cleaner
(www.jawscleans.com) cleans
granite countertops, stainless
steel appliances, glass and even
your flat-screen TV. Its also non-
toxic and costs less than most
other cleaners because each
JAWS product is actually two bot-
tles in one. (The cartridge refill is
attached to the bottle.)
There are also some other
basic preventive measures you
can take to protect your granite
countertops:
Use coasters: Place a coast-
er under all glasses, particularly
those containing alcohol or citrus
juices that can etch or dull the
surface of many stone counter-
tops.
Use trivets or mats: Theyll
protect your granite countertop
from hot dishes and help avoid
scratches.
Granite countertops can really
add spark to a kitchen or bath-
room. Proper care will keep them
looking beautiful.

(NAPS)Did you know that,
across the country, leaks account
for more than one trillion gallons
of water wasted each year? Thats
enough water annually to supply
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and
Colorado combined.
Each year, the average Ameri-
can home wastes more than
10,000 gallons of water on easy-to-
fix household leaks. Thats how
much water a family uses to wash
10 months worth of laundry, and
it could be adding 10 percent to
your water bill.
Check your water bill in win-
ter; if a family of four uses more
than 12,000 gallons per month,
you may have a leak.
If your water bill is not meas-
ured in gallons, you can easily
find a conversion calculator on-
line.
Finding and fixing leaks
around the home is as easy as
check, twist and replace.
Check toilets for leaks by put-
ting food coloring in the tank and
waiting a few minutes; if the
color shows up in the bowl before
you flush, you have a leak. The
culprit may be a worn rubber
flapper, which can be easily re-
placed at a hardware store. You
should also check your outdoor
watering system this spring for
damage from freezing tempera-
tures.
Twist the joints connecting
your showerhead and use pipe
tape to ensure a tighter connec-
tion if youve got a leak.
Outdoors, twist the hose con-
nection tightly to the spigot and
replace the hose washer if neces-
sary.
Replace worn gaskets to nip
faucet drips; one drip per second
wastes 3,000 gallons of water per
year! If you need to replace an en-
tire fixture, look for the Wa-
terSense label, which signifies
that a product has been indepen -
dently certified to use less water
and perform well.
For information about finding
and fixing leaks, visit
www.epa.gov/watersense.
Do you know where
your house is
wasting water?
