The Medford Township Public
Schools Board of Education
passed its tentative budget for the
2016-17 school year at last weeks
meeting.
Medford residents will potentially be looking at a 1.46-cent increase on the tax levy, resulting in
a K-8 school tax increase of $47.89
on a home assessed at the township average of $327,600, which
amounts to $4 more per month.
Every penny the district raises
the tax rate results in $298,510 of
revenue for the budget.
The increase in the budget will
cover all contractual salaries, the
5 percent increase in medical benefits, new elementary school science programming and materials, elementary and middle
school literacy materials, summer curriculum writing projects
and building level technology upgrades.

Jason Jarvis, 6, shows off one of the prizes he got at the Medford-Vincentown Rotary Clubs annual Easter Egg Hunt. The
hunt was a free community outreach event by the Rotary Club
and the Shawnee and Seneca high school Interact Clubs. For
more photos, please see page 14.

In 1801, Baptists in the area

gathered to plan and promote a
new fellowship in the central region of Evesham that could accommodate the sudden, unexpected increase in Baptist settlers.
The Medford area was chosen due
to its proximity to a major highway and its centrality among the
villages.
At the time, Thomas Jefferson
was president and there were
only 16 states in the Union. Fortyyears later, in 1841, the First Baptist Church of Medford was finally built.
One hundred seventy-five
years has passed since then, and
the church, nestled at the foot of
Bank Street, is still a cornerstone
in Medford.
The church celebrated its 175th
anniversary on March 13 with a
special luncheon that more than
200 folks from throughout the
county attended.
It was just a great day, it really,
really was, Chairman of the
Deacons Board Steve Gardner
said.
The celebration played host to

four speakers who touched on

topics relating to the church.
Charles Muzyczek gave a detailed description of the rich history of the church. The Rev.
George Heiland spoke about the
Medford branch and how the plan
of God fits into the totality of
their outlook. Edward Kuhar
spoke on how the church fits in
with Baptist churches across
America, and Mike Bacon spoke
about the evolution of history
throughout the churchs lifetime.
The group also took a few timeouts between speakers and enjoyed a nice lunch and desserts.
Attendees were then given the
opportunity to view the churchs
new historical room. The room
hosts a number of historical pictures and sculptures, including a
scaled-down model of the original
church building built in 1841 and
a new version from 1891 after the
church burnt down.
Along with the rebuilding of
the structure after the fire, the
history of the church is a detailed
one.
The church had 60 members

Hundreds of ShopRite associates across six states banded together last September in a friendly competition sponsored by
ShopRite and General Mills, the
annual ShopRite Partners In Caring Cheerios Contest. With the
lending a hand for hunger
theme, ShopRite associates once
again rolled up their sleeves and
worked hard to fight hunger in

$25,532.77 for the ShopRite Partners in Caring Program.
Associates collected donations
at checkout and held various
events in store, raising $1.3 million during the contest to support
regional food banks in communities served by ShopRite stores.
Now those associates are being

New Jerseys Shore towns could use your help

Dan McDonough Jr.

chairman of elauwit media

ast week may have ushered in

the start of spring, but Shore
towns throughout our state are
experiencing high anxiety, as the start
of the summer beach season begins
in fewer than eight weeks.
The 102 days between Memorial Day
and Labor Day weekends are crucial
for the Jersey Shore, which, no matter
what town you live in, has a vital impact on the Garden States economy.
We seem to often preach how important it is to stay local for the summertime. And thats because its true.
The devastation that was caused by
Hurricane Sandy seems like a distant
memory. For the most part, Shore
towns in our state have recovered, but
they still desperately need visitors;
they still need our support.
Beach Season 2013, the one immediately following Sandy, was not a good

Your thoughts
What does the Jersey Shore mean
to you? Wed love to hear your stories
of traveling to the beach, and your plans
to do so this summer.

one.
As if rebuilding from Sandy wasnt
bad enough, an incredibly wet June
kept visitors away from the Shore during prime weekends. Sales for stores
that year in the hardest-hit areas were
off anywhere from 20-40 percent, according to state economic reports.
The results improved slightly in
2014, and then again last year. According to a Tourism Economics report
produced by the state Division of
Travel and Tourism, visitors to the
Shore increased by more than 8 percent last year. That calculation is

based on bed tax receipts for the

states Shore counties. In fact, that
number exceeded those of the previous peak in 2012, before Hurricane
Sandy.
Finally, the Shore is back! But the
message is still the same: Visit the
Shore this summer, visit often, and
spend money there.
New Jersey residents often take our
coastline for granted, but we should
realize how lucky we are to have such
a gem this close to home. So lets pay it
back this summer. As hard as it may
seem to fathom, there are only two
months until the official start of the
summer beach season, but there is
still plenty of time to plan your summer vacation at the Jersey Shore.
The beach towns need your support.
Lets all dedicate at least part of our
summer to giving back.

County, Virtua partner for free CPR training

Burlington County Sheriff Jean Stanfield and the Burlington County Department of Public Safety are partnering with
Virtua Emergency Medical Services to provide a free series of CPR training courses
for residents.
Classes will take place at the Burlington
County Emergency Services Training Center in Westampton.
The series coincides with the PulsePoint
mobile app that launched in November.
The PulsePoint app is the first of its kind to
be used in Southern New Jersey, with
Burlington County being the third jurisdiction on the East Coast to offer it.
PulsePoints location-aware technology
alerts CPR-trained persons in a public
place to someone nearby in sudden cardiac
arrest who may require CPR, and gets
them there sooner, Stanfield said. With

more bystanders trained and using the app,

CPR can be provided immediately after
sudden cardiac arrest, effectively doubling
or tripling a victims chance of survival.
When a 911 call alerts dispatch to a cardiac arrest victim, the PulsePoint app is activated by the Burlington County Public
Safety communications center while simultaneously notifying local emergency
responders and Virtua paramedics. When
activated, anyone within a quarter mile
who has downloaded the app to their mobile device will receive a push notification
on their smart phone with the location of
the emergency. The app also provides the
location of the nearest, known publicly accessible Automated External Defibrillator
device.
We are proud to bring this innovative
life-saving tool to individuals living, work-

ing and visiting Burlington County, said

Richard P. Miller, president and CEO of
Virtua. At Virtua, we strive to be an active
partner in the communities we not only
serve, but also where we live and work. Virtua regularly explores the latest technology to help us continue providing the highest quality care to our communities.
Classes will be held over the course of
the year on the following dates: April 16,
May 21, June 18, July 16, Aug. 20, Sept. 17,
Oct.15, Nov. 19 and Dec. 17.
To register, residents must fax their applications to (609) 702-7100, or mail to:
Burlington County Emergency Services
Training Center, P.O. Box 6000, Westampton, NJ 08060.

Board budgets to add three

portant role in the support of curriculum, Superintendent Joe Del
Rossi said. Our goal is to embed
technology into instruction.
To help ensure this goal is accomplished without any bumps
in the road, the board plans to add
an educational technology coordinator this year. The position is
being implemented to provide
leadership for the embedding of
technology into classroom instruction.
The new technology coordinator will help guide teachers
through this process of enhancing the curriculum.
To help supply the students
and staff with the tools necessary
to succeed, the strategic planning
committee is looking into a
Chromebook initiative that will
eventually roll out enough
Chromebooks over time to be in

every classroom.
As the board continues to bring
teaching positions back after the
budget cuts in 2009, it has also
budgeted to add three new fulltime special education teaching
positions and one new part-time
special education teaching position for 2016-17.
The increased enrollment in
special education has created a
challenge, Del Rossi said.
I think I speak for most of my
colleagues in Burlington County
when I refer to the increasing
costs for the increasing special
education needs, Del Rossi said.
The budget has been sent to the
county for approval. The board
will be holding a public hearing
before finalizing it.

In live releases, animals either
end up in the home of a new family, or theyre moved to another
shelter where space is available
because so many animals at that
facility had already been adopted.
One local facility where the
trend is holding true is the Camden County Animal Shelter. According to Camden County Animal Shelter Executive Director
Vicki Rowland, from 2009 to 2015,
the CCAS live release rate for cats
went from 46 percent to 70 percent. For dogs, the rate increased
from 73 percent to 85 percent.

According to the 2005 survey

By 2010, the statewide adoption

Rowland also noted theres a
public misconception surrounding open facilities that have to
take all animals, such as the
CCAS, where its believed it must
often euthanize pets and so its
live release rates may not be very
high.
Rowland said that is not the
case with the CCAS.
Were saving 80 percent of the
animals that we intake, she said,
and were gradually trying to increase that trend every year.
The trend of increasing live release rates is also exemplified
across the county line at the
Burlington
County Animal
Shelter.

Burlington County Public Information Officer Eric Arpert said

over the last five years, the BCAS
has also seen its live release rates
grow fairly steadily.
According to Arpert, in 2015
alone, BCAS had a record-breaking 2,602 live exits from the shelter through adoptions, rescue
transfers and animals returned to
owners.
That is a record-breaking
year. And before 2015, 2014 was a
record-breaking year, Arpert
said. So we have steadily increased adoptions over the last
several years.
The numbers are also similar
at the Animal Welfare Association in Voorhees, where Executive Director Maya Richmond
said about 2,700 animals found
homes last year.

Foster families key to rescue groups

One Love Animal Rescue relies on its foster families
to provide temporary homes for its adoptable pets
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
The Albertson family was your
typical pet-free household before
a dog by the name of Geri came
along.
She was found by a shelter,
abandoned, totally emaciated and
tied to a tree on the side of a road.
The Albertsons decided to step in
and make her a part of their family.
Though mother Kim Albertson
got emotional when bringing up
Geri, it was clear she cherished
her 12 years with her and she had
a lasting impact on her familys
desire to help dogs.
The Albertsons have now been
a part of the One Love Animal
Rescue for two years and are temporarily fostering seven dogs
until the right family is found for
them.
One Love is an organization
that rescues homeless animals,
nurtures them through foster
care and places them in permanent loving homes to the best of
their ability.
One Love promotes responsible

pet ownership and encourages

others in the community to be
kind to all animals, to reduce pet
overpopulation and to improve
the outcomes of homeless animals.
Geri started the madness for
us, Kim said.
The Albertsons have a running
joke if they were ever to win the
lottery they will be making
Geris Rescue Ranch down in
Virginia.
The familys overwhelming
passion for these animals shines
through when they discuss how
each addition was a miracle in
itself.
Mabel came home with them
on Christmas Eve 2014 after his
mom delivered seven puppies.
Obis mom was sent to be fixed
while she was pregnant. They
were going to end the life of the
puppies while in utero, but she
delivered overnight in the vets office, so the Albertsons daughter,
Erin, naturally had to take one
home with her.
They also took in three dogs
during fall 2015 who were going to
be shot if One Love didnt step in

and save them.

All of the Albertsons foster
dogs came to them in uniquely
different ways, but it is clear they
are all now a part of the family.
As for Erin, she is training to
be a veterinarian in Virginia because of her childhood best
friend, Geri. Erin graduated from
Roanoke College in May 2015, is
working full time as a veterinary
tech and is starting veterinary
school at Ross University School
of Veterinary Medicine in May.
Unfortunately, with Erin away
at school, her father Jim working
full time and being a trustee on
the board of directors for the Indian Mills Athletic Association,
and Kim also going to nursing
school full time time can be at a
premium when it comes to taking
care of their beloved dogs.
Luckily, they have a neighbor
who is also a dog fanatic and enjoys every chance she gets to
babysit the dogs.
I got into One Love Rescue because of Kim, neighbor Morgan
Barnett said. I was helping out

ary, Richmond said. Were not
here for life. We are an intermediate vehicle for those pets to get
loving homes. A lot of times, we
dont talk about them as our animals but the pets under our care.

Animal intake also holds steady

In addition to the rising live release rates, the numbers that shelters have been taking in have also
held steady.
Regarding the past several
years, Rowland said the change in
the number of animals coming
into the shelter has been negligible. From 2009 to 2015, she said it
actually showed a very slight decrease of animals coming into
CCAS.
Every year is different, Rowland said.
For the BCAS, which has to
work as a no-kill, open-intake
shelter and serve all municipali-

ties of Burlington County, Arpert

said overall intakes have also
been rather steady for the past
three years.
According to Richmond, intake
rates have also remained steady
at the AWA, as it has more control
over what animals it brings into
its facilities. However, she said
the AWA has had to work hard
these past several years to keep
its facility full, which has led it to
do more to pull from other municipalities.
The AWA has been working to
keep its intake rates down and
keep more pets with their original owners rather than those
owners having to surrender those
pets.
We do the best we can to see if
theres a way to keep that pet with
that family, whether its low-cost
food, low-cost medical care, and if
we cant keep that pet with that
family and it comes into AWA, we
find it a home, and thats well
over 1,500 animals a year, Richmond said.
And while intake numbers

2014 the figure was 80,346.

may have only been steady locally,
across the state in the past
decade, the numbers actually saw
a decrease.
According to past state Animal

Intake and Disposition Surveys,

in 2005 there were 105,355 dogs
and cats impounded by shelters
in the state, but by 2010 the figure
had decreased to 93,914, and by

the public consciousness, animal
welfare organizations also contribute a multitude of other factors to increase live release rates.
For the CCAS, Rowland said
having cat adoption centers at
PetSmart and Petco stores, which
are all managed by volunteers,
has also had a direct positive impact on adoption rates. The centers which include the PetSmarts in Moorestown and Cherry
Hill give an animal that may
have been overlooked in the shelter a new setting with new potential adopters.
Rolwand said having a dedicated volunteer board of directors is
critical to CCAS success, too.

Marketing a continuous uphill battle for shelters

By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Despite the growing interest
the public might have in an
adopt, not shop philosophy,
challenges remain for animal
welfare groups and organizations.
Namely, the organizations face
a continuous battle to the get the
word out to the public about
what purposes they exist to serve
and how those missions differ
from those of other groups.
Theres so much confusion
over who does what and how it
gets done, said Animal Welfare
Association Executive Director
Maya Richmond. It sounds like
it should be much simpler than it
is, but for some reason its not.
Richmond said the group

stopped accepting municipal

contracts more than a decade
ago, and so it works mainly with
transporting animals from other
shelters and taking on animals
that citizens have to surrender.
However, Richmond said the
AWA has no official marketing
budget to use to get that information out to the public.
We try our best to get the
word out by being out at community events. We still put up paper
fliers, we try to do some press releases and public engagements
and we try to connect through
people with websites, Richmond said. Facebook has been
good for us as far as the community getting to know a little more
about us. Its hard to market.
People dont always know.
Those
sentiments
were

echoed by Eric Arpert, public information officer for Burlington

County.
Arpert said the Burlington
County Animal Shelter, which
has to take all animals surrendered to it, also has to constantly
work to ensure the community
knows what services the shelter
provides. And since the BCAS
has to take all animals, its especially important to the shelter to
guide the community there before they look to purchase a pet
elsewhere.
Its to get the word out that
anybody looking for a pet in
Burlington County should adopt
and not shop, Arpert said. Our
effort is to be the first stop for
anyone in Burlington County
looking to find the right pet.
Like the AWA, the BCAS also

uses the tools of the Internet,

such as petfinder.com and the
Facebook pages of groups such
as the Friends of Burlington
County Animal Shelter, to help
spread that message and detail
upcoming events and programs
at the shelter.
According to Camden County
Animal Shelter Executive Director Vicki Rowland, the CCAS is
in a similar position.
Its getting the word out
there that we exist and we have
animals ready, she explained.
Every day is different for us as
to what we get into the facility
breed, size, age, you name it its
just up to the adopters to find the
right fit.
In addition to differentiating
themselves so the public knows
what group to visit for what

services, Richmond said the

groups also have to work to get
more fundraising monies, often
at the expense of other groups.
According to the Giving USA
2015 annual report on philanthropy in America, of the
$358.38 billion given to charities
in 2014, only $10.5 billion, or 3
percent, went to non-profit organizations that deal with animal welfare.
You want the water to get
better for everyone, but in doing
that youre inadvertently competing for less money, Richmond said. You all want to go
and improve the welfare, but by
doing that youre also competing
indirectly or directly, and theres
still confusion. Do you let the
confusion stand or do you start
building your brand out?

Fosters call experience rewarding and totally worth it

FOSTERS
Continued from page 13
with her litter of puppies and I
just fell in love with it.
After being very close with
Erin in high school, Barnett also
went away to school where she
noticed a void in her life. It wasnt
long before she emailed the
founders of One Love and asked if
she could foster when she arrived
back home in Shamong.
I told them I need some extra
dogs, I need to compensate for
four months with no dogs, she
said.
Bandit and Smokey were found
on the side of the road in West
Virginia 20 pounds underweight
with worms in their stomach, but
they have found a home with Barnett and her two other dogs where
they continue to get better each
day.
Bringing this many dogs together under one roof comes with
some challenges, but the Barnetts
and Albertsons have created tactics to adapt. The crate and rotate strategy seems to be the goto approach to speed up the
process of training the dogs and
making sure they all get along.
They all end up adapting pretty well to one another in the long
run, but that first couple weeks
can be a little hairy, Kim said.
In fact, there are instances
when it simply doesnt work. The

Albertsons very first foster, Mia,

was only in their house for three
days before they decided it was
not the right fit.
She was the type of dog who
was not going to get along with
other dogs. She needed to go to a
home where she was the only
dog, Jim Albertson said.
Barnett has also experienced
instances in which shes taken in
dogs that were not fit to live
among other dogs.
If a foster is struggling, we
immediately take the pet and find
another foster who is better suited to manage the pet, One Love
Animal Rescue Chairwoman
Sherri Smith said.
One Love attempts to cut down
on these instances by investigating every family that is adopting
through conducting a home
check to make sure they are giving the highest standard of care
to their own pet(s) and making
sure their home is a safe and loving environment.
The organization will give you
the best description of the dog's
personality as it can and will not
put a dog it doesnt think will
work in your home.
I did a home check with another family that was interested
in one of my dogs, and I just had a
terrible feeling, Barnett said.
Its just a gut feeling and I talked
to the founders of One Love and
they encouraged me to go with
my gut.
The organization puts a lot of

Love Animal Rescue.
trust in its fosters to make the
best judgment when it comes to
having a family adopt one of
these animals they have gotten to
know over time.
It also supplies top-of-the-line
medical care before it is ready for
adoption, food, and all other expenses related to caring for the
pet and getting them ready for
their new home.
The group prides itself on
being a tight-knit team and grow-

ing relationships with each other.

It even has a private Facebook
group where members interact
and ask questions to support each
other.
However, being a foster is a
consuming commitment that cannot be taken for granted or it will
likely not work out.
When asked what kind of advice he would give folks who were
considering fostering but were
tentative about going all in, Jim

Alberston advised not to get involved.

Its a commitment. You're responsible for another life, he
said.
For those who are undoubtedly
looking to get involved, Kim could
not say enough about how rewarding and worth it the whole
process is.
Bringing an animal into your
house when it is in such critical
condition, nurturing it, loving it
and seeing how far it comes is
something the Albertsons and
Barnetts both attested to not
being able to put a price tag on.
Its the companionship, Jim
said. Its making sure unwanted
dogs get a deserving home.
When you see progress like I
have, it reinforces you are meant
to be doing this, Barnett said.
The organization cherishes
families such as the Barnetts and
the Albertsons, and it intends to
continue to grow by adding more
loving families like them.
Finding fosters like the Barnetts and Albertsons is really a
dream for us, Smith said. These
families are fierce animal advocates, experienced dog handlers
and committed to training. Its so
important for us to find families
who will see it through and work
with foster dogs through their
challenges.

Richmond: We want potential adopters to have a positive experience

Continued from page 12

this happen, Rowland said.

For the BCAS, one obvious contributing factor is the shelter became a no-kill facility in 2013 into
2014, meaning it does not euthanize adoptable pets for need of
space. Arpert credits this with
helping to increase the shelters
live exit rates.

There are few shelters that do

that, and were proud to be one of
them, Arpert said.
Another thing that contributed
to the BCAS steadily increasing
live exit rates is additional space
for the animals. Burlington County Freeholder Bruce Garganio recently spearheaded an effort to
build a new cat room at the shelter, and there have been new dog
runs and dog pens added as well.
For the AWA, Richmond said a
different approach to whom the
shelter will let adopt an animal

has also helped with placing more

pets in more homes.
Gone are the days where the
AWA would send its members to
the homes of those looking to
adopt to measure a familys yard.
Gone are the days where the
AWA would require five applications be placed by different individuals and families for a single
pet before picking what it considering the best one.
Gone are the days when the
AWA would ask for the phone
number of a potential adopters

personal veterinarian to interview as well.

Theres a lot of stereotype
about how terrible shelters are,
Richmond said. They say
theyre going to judge me, theyre
going to be mean, so weve already got all these things stacked
against us, and when they come
we want them to have as seamless
as possible and positive experience.
While Richmond said the AWA
will still obviously decline a potential adoption where it feels

necessary, these days potential

adopters get declined mostly on
the basis that the pet theyre looking to adopt wouldnt be a good fit
for their family or home, and the
AWA will instead try to interest
them in another animal better
suited for their situation.
If you dont help them, are
they going to go buy a pet, are
they going to go through other
means, and if they secure a pet
elsewhere, they might not be prepared to be that pets owner,
Richmond said.

birthday cards to troops in World
War II and were sent thank you
notes back that the church revealed to the public during its recent celebration.
It also found a steel marker
while cutting down a tree about a
decade ago that indicated the land
was part of an underground railway for slaves traveling north.
However, despite its great
longevity, the church has maintained the same motive over the
years, staying true to the doctrine of soul liberty, a document
that encourages the idea of supporting what he or she wants to
believe.
The group also believes in constitutional and congressional rule

when it comes to selecting a new

pastor.
We vote on a pastor when he
comes in together by deciding if
we like him and agree with what
he is trying to do, Gardner said.
Gardner has been the pastors
right-hand-man for more than 30
years.
Though he was not raised a
Baptist, he became one by conviction, as he put it, getting into the
religion as he got older.
Gardner is what baseball fans
would refer to as a utility player

for the First Baptist Church of

Medford. After being a Sunday
school teacher and youth leader
for several years, he approached
the pastor at Medford Baptist and
simply asked him, how can you
use me?
The Vietnam War veteran has
had cancer three times and was
told he had about six years left to
live more than 21 years ago.
He views his opportunity to
work with the church as a blessing, and he spends his time trying
to repay God for his grace,
