Horizon
group
awards
grants
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
The Horizon Foundation for
New Jersey recently announced
its first awarding of grants for
2012 to 19 organizations, two of
which are located in
Lawrenceville.
Since its founding in 2004, the
Horizon Foundation for New Jer-
sey has provided grants to quali-
fied non-profit organizations, four
times annually, spokesman for
Horizon-BCBSNJ Thomas Vincz
said.
The two organizations, PEI
Kids and ChoiceOne Pregnancy &
Sexual Health Resource Centers,
were awarded a combined total of
$40,000 out of the $2,171,000
awarded in grants because of
their work in promoting health.
Both organizations were
awarded the grants because they
completed quality, compelling
proposals that align with the
foundations funding categories;
were experienced and highly rep-
utable organizations; and per-
formed well on previous grants
with the Horizon Foundation for
New Jersey, according to Vincz.
The foundation rewards fund-
ing to organizations that fall
under two categories, Health
American Legion offers scholarships
By HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
The American Legion Post No.
414 will be doling out four, $1,000
scholarships to Lawrenceville
seniors in Lawrence and Notre
Dame high schools in May.
The scholarships are funded
through the various dinners,
fundraisers and events the post
holds each year.
There is no designated
fundraiser to help members of
the post raise the money for
these scholarships, but their re-
sources over the years have
helped substantially, according
to post historian Nicholas Love-
less.
Weve been giving out schol-
arships for the last 50 years, he
said. Weve raised the money by
having everything from broom
sales to different types of par-
ties.
Loveless also noted that a
large amount of money used to
fund scholarships derives from
the state lottery machine that is
located at the post headquarters.
In the past, the post used to
pay the $1,000 allotment directly
to the colleges. However, when
they used to pay the money to the
college, it would be lumped to-
gether with or deducted from
other scholarships offered from
the schools themselves. This
would, in turn, not end up bene-
fitting the students. To avoid this
in the future, the Post decided to
start paying the money directly
to the students.
The applicants must meet
certain criteria, including a high

Lawrenceville Main Street and
the Presbyterian Church of
Lawrenceville invite the commu-
nity to attend a dedication of a
new copper beech tree on Sunday,
April 29, at noon in the PCOL
north cemetery located at 2688
Main St. (Route 206). The ceremo-
ny will be held in conjunction
with the 14th-Annual LMS Ju-
bilee, scheduled for April 29 from
noon to 5 p.m.
The 15-foot sapling was recent-
ly planted near the base of a mag-
nificent American beech tree,
which split and crashed to the
ground in October 2009. The his-
toric tree, which was believed to
be one of the largest beech trees
in New Jersey, was cherished by
the congregation.
Efforts to save the tree by ca-
bling the branches did not suc-
ceed.
If only trees could talk, this
one would have had wonderful
stories to tell, church adminis-
trator Jeanne Aicher said.
The tree was most likely stand-
ing in 1810 when the Rev. Isaac V.
Brown, PCOLs seventh minister,
established the Maidenhead
Academy, which later became the
Lawrenceville School.
Congregants Kris Deni and
Rich Levandowski donated the
new tree as a memorial to Kris
daughter, Leah, who died in 2004
at 25, from a blood infection. Leah
was an ardent environmentalist
and program director at the
Urban Ecology Institute in
Boston.
The tree dedication comes two
days after Arbor Day, which is cel-
ebrated in New Jersey on the last
Friday of April. In 1996,
Lawrence Township received
Tree City USA designation by
The National Arbor Day Founda-
tion.
Skip Conover, LMS treasurer
and former PCOL trustee, is coor-
dinating the tree dedication cere-
mony at which the Rev. Jeffrey A.
Vamos and LMS President
Howard Nelson will address the
audience. Preschool children and
teachers from the church's coop-
erative nursery school (LPCNS)
will attend the ceremony and sing
two songs.
Along with Andrea Rabitz,
Conover also was instrumental in
the project to reuse the lumber
from the old beech tree. The wood
was milled into about 80 cheese
and breadboards by Willard
Brothers, and then stored and
dried at their Trenton facility for
the past three years. The PCOL
Mens Group sanded, oiled and
branded the boards with a com-
memorative stamp.
The boards will go on sale
(limit of two per family) on April
29 immediately after the tree dedi-
cation ceremony and will range
from $20 to $40. Proceeds from the
sale will help offset the cost of re-
moving the old beech tree and
milling the wood.

PEI Kids and ChoiceOne both
fall under the Health category,
which awards grants ranging
from $10,000 to $50,000 for each se-
lected organization.
The amount of money each
organization received was based
on several determination fac-
tors, Vincz said. The factors in-
cluded that each organization
was within the foundations grant
range for health projects, the
amount of money requested by
the non-profit organization, the
available funds for granting, the
scope of work to be done and the
organizations past perform-
ance.
For organizations under the
Health category, the foundation
supports health prevention, edu-
cation and awareness, and facili-
tates good health, according to its
official website.
Also, as listed on the website,
the funding priorities for this cat-
egory include prevention and ed-
ucational programs for asthma,
cancer, chronic obstructive pul-
monary disease, congestive heart
failure, diabetes, hypertension,
and obesity; depression and other
mental health screening and
treatment programs; health liter-
acy programs that are culturally
and linguistically appropriate to
help individuals understand
basic health information and
services needed to make appro-
priate health decisions, and to
have the ability to navigate the
heath care system, fill out med-
ical forms, locate providers and
services, and engage in self-care
and chronic disease manage-
ment; and childhood immuniza-
tions as recommended by the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) or the Ameri-
can Academy of Pediatrics
(AAP).
ChoiceOne received a $25,000
grant to support its Optimal
Health program, which is a
health literacy program for
women who are of childbearing
age.
ChoiceOne emphasizes sexual
health education and reproduc-
tive issues for women. It is the
second year that it is receiving a
grant from the Foundation.
We are so delighted to have re-
ceived the Horizon grant for our
Health Literacy Training, Car-
olyn Gilmore, executive director
of ChoiceOne, said. As you can
imagine, it is critically important
for young women to understand
their medical history and be able
to fill out health forms correctly
and completely. The Horizon
Foundation is truly committed to
pre-emptive programs that help
engage women in taking charge
of their own health.
PEI Kids received a $15,000
grant to support the depression
section of the Crisis Intervention
program, which provides depres-
sion screening and treatment for
children ages 3 to 18 who are vic-
tims of sexual abuse; prevention,
education and intervention pro-
grams; and education and sup-
port for family members and
caregivers.
Receiving a grant from the
Horizon Foundation of New Jer-
sey in an honor, PEI Kids Execu-
tive Director Penelope Ettinger
said. This grant of $15,000 will
allow our clinical staff to contin-
ue to assess and appropriately ad-
dress an individual childs de-
pression in children who are vic-
tims of sexual abuse. Additional-
ly, by gathering the data in the ag-
gregate, we are helping to ad-
vance the practice of treating de-
pression in this population.
The foundation has been fund-
ing PEI Kids for three years now.
All of grants given have pro-
vided us a tremendous opportuni-
ty to address the mental health
needs of children, especially
those at risk from trauma-related
events, Ettinger said.
PEI Kids aspiration for the
children of Mercer County is
Safe Kids, Sound Futures,
Vincz said. For the past 27 years,
its mission has been dedicated to
promoting and maintaining a
safe environment for all chil-
dren.
The Foundations overall goal
for New Jerseys charitable or-
ganizations is to promote health,
well-being, and quality of life.

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.

scope Chamber Series will present I Re-

Lawrence Township will celebrate
Arbor Day on Friday, April 27, at 10 a.m. at
the Lawrence Township Elementary
School, 40 Craven Lane, in Lawrence. The
Township has recognized Arbor Day with
tree planting activities every year since
1996.
A tree will be planted by the Lawrence
Township Public Works Department at the
Lawrenceville Elementary School, which
will provide shade for the playing field.
The Lawrence Township Council issued
a proclamation recognizing Arbor Day that
will be presented to the Lawrenceville Ele-
mentary School children.
The NJ Department of Environmental
Protection has been promoting Arbor Day
since 1949. In that year, the state legislature
designated the last Friday in April as the
official day to honor trees and the people
who take care of them.
The tree selected for the planting is a Vil-
lage Green Zelkova.
Zelkovas are well suited to residential
streets and parks.
The Lawrence Township Shade Tree Ad-
visory Committee was created by the town-
ship council to provide advice on street
tree matters.
The committee meets on the fourth
Monday of each month.

(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.

the Roof Wizard tab at
www.gaf.com.

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?

encouraged reading on-the-go.

help you read, encourage you to
read, or make reading easier?
Entries may be submitted as
drawings or as models, and each
must have a brief explanation of
how they work attached (no more

will receive a READ temporary
tattoo and a bookmark. A final

Week (May 7-13) to win a bag full

The College of Business Ad-
ministration at Rider University
has maintained its business and
accounting accreditation by
AACSB International The Asso-
ciation to Advance Collegiate
Schools of Business.
Founded in 1916, AACSB Inter-
national is the longest-serving
global-accrediting body for busi-
ness schools that offer bachelors,
masters and doctoral degrees in
business and accounting.
Today, there are 649 business
schools in 43 countries that main-
tain AACSB accreditation. Simi-
larly, 178 institutions maintain an
additional specialized AACSB ac-
creditation for accounting pro-
grams.
To maintain accreditation, a
business program must undergo
a rigorous internal review every
five years, during which the pro-
gram must demonstrate its con-
tinued commitment to the 21
quality standards relating to fac-
ulty qualification, strategic man-
agement of resources, interac-
tions of faculty and students, as
well as a commitment to continu-
ous improvement and achieve-
ment of learning goals in degree
programs.
It takes a great deal of self-
evaluation and determination to
earn and maintain AACSB Ac-
creditation, Jerry Trapnell, vice
president and chief accreditation
officer of AACSB International,
said. Schools not only must meet
specific standards of excellence,
but their deans, faculty, and staff
must make a commitment to on-
going improvement to ensure
continued delivery of high-quali-
ty education to students.
Riders College of Business Ad-
ministration offers 12 undergrad-
uate majors, ranging from ac-
counting and computer informa-
tion systems to entrepreneurial
studies and global supply chain
management; and three graduate
programs, including master of
accountancy, master of business
administration and executive
MBA.
Riders five-star undergraduate
business program focuses on pro-
fessional development, cultivat-
ing a global perspective, under-
standing business by the num-
bers, effective business communi-
cation and preparing business
leaders.
Students from the College of
Business Administration com-
pete in a number of national and
global competitions. CBA pro-
grams are also recognized nation-
ally.
Rider Universitys achieve-
ment will be recognized at the
2012 AACSB International confer-
ence and annual meeting in San
Diego, from April 29 to May 1.

lege of Business Administration,
