Cherry Hill Public Schools’12th annual Volley for Supportdoesn’t officially start until 5:30p.m. on Friday, April 8, but stu-dents and teachers in Cherry Hillwill be participating in the eventthroughout the school day.

At this year’s fundraiser, allproceeds are being donated to theJuvenile Diabetes Research Foun-dation. In conjunction with thenormal Volley for Support event,most of the schools in the districtwill be participating in JDRFwalks. Students are being encour-aged to raise funds at home and

bring the money they collect toschool prior to the walk.

“We thought this would be away to do something during theday and have the kids be in-volved,” said Steve Redfearn, aphysical education teacher inCherry Hill who started Volleyfor Support in 2005 with his wifeand fellow teacher, Kim. “Some of them might not be able to make itto the event at night.”

Redfearn is hoping this year’sVolley for Support becomes one of the largest in the event’s history.To do this, everyone from teach-ers to students to communitymembers are being asked to do-nate money, goods or time insome way.

Students in Cherry Hill schoolshave an extra incentive tofundraise. Many of the elemen-tary schools set goals for the stu-dents. If the students meet theirgoal, they will earn some type of reward where their respectiveschool principal will do some-thing fun and goofy. One examplefrom last year was at A. RussellKnight Elementary School, where

students got to turn Principal Eu-gene Park into an ice cream sun-dae.

“We realized having some typeof incentive for them at theschool level would help themcome together as a community,”Redfearn said.

Redfearn has also reached outto school, town and police offi-

e are all well versed on the

distracted driving laws that

have been created across the

country over the last few years. The

law makes it illegal to use a phone

while operating a motor vehicle, un-

less it is done with a hands-free device.

It is a good law – one that was creat-ed in response to the increasing num-

ber of motor vehicle accidents being

caused by people who were texting,

talking, browsing or Snapchatting

while driving.

It is a law that has garnered a lot of

PR attention as well. Campaigns such

as “U Drive. U Text. U Pay.” have

popped up to warn of the dangers of

distracted driving. Youth groups have

also taken up the cause to educate

their peers on why distracted driving

can be very dangerous.Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt

wants to take this one step further. She

has proposed a “distracted walking”

bill that could fine offenders up to $50,

put them in jail for up to 15 days, or

both.

Lampitt says distracted pedestrians

are as much a danger to motorists as

jaywalkers, which is why she proposes

similar penalties for the offense.

We applaud the aim behind this pro-

posal – to keep pedestrians and mo-

torists safe. But we question whether

we really need a law in place to do so.

Other states have attempted to pass

similar laws to Lampitt’s proposal.

None have succeeded thus far, but

more attempt every year.

We question whether a distracted

walking bill is one that could reason-ably be enforced. While we don’t ig-

nore that pedestrian safety is of con-

cern, especially in the many down-

town areas of our state, would police

officers be able to effectively enforce

the law? We aren’t so sure.

We believe that, instead of passing a

law forbiding the practice, distracted

walking should become a part of dis-

tracted driving education. We don’t

need a law and prison time to save

pedestrians; we need information.

in our opinion

Stop walking and put down the phone!‘Distracted Walking Bill’ is being proposed; yes, this is real

cials to get community membersinvolved in the walks.

“We’re going to try to have aspecial guest come out to each of the walks,” he said.

The walks during Friday’sschool day will lead up to the Vol-ley for Support main event atCherry Hill High School East inthe evening. Teachers from everyCherry Hill school will competein a volleyball tournament. Last

year, the teachers from CarusiMiddle School won first place.The teachers also chip in for

gift baskets to be raffled off dur-ing the event. The gift basketstypically have themes and featurea variety of prizes. One of the bigprizes from last year’s event was aGoogle Chromebook.

“They try to pick things thatwhen the kids come, they’ll pickthings they’re interested in win-

ning,” Redfearn said. “Someschools have joined together andthe baskets become more attrac-tive.”

T-shirt sales are also a big part

of fundraising each year. Com-munity members could purchaset-shirts about a month or longerprior to the event for $12. The t-shirt sales give community mem-bers free admission to the event.

Redfearn said the goal is toraise about $25,000 this year. Lastyear, the event was very success-ful, with $20,100 being raised forCamp No Worries and CampErin. It was the second-highestamount the event had ever raised,

with the most coming in 2011when it raised about $24,000 forBuild Jake’s Place.

Volley for Support is open to allmembers of the community. Thecost of admission is $3, with peo-ple wearing a Volley for Support t-shirt being admitted for free. VisitVolley for Support’s Facebookpage at www.facebook.com/Vol-leyforSupport for more informa-tion.

Brian and Barbara Agnewhave a lot of love to give.

Wanting nothing more than toraise a family, before getting mar-ried the couple committed toraise a dog together to experiencecaring for another life.

Last year, after finding out theycould not have children and didnot currently have the money toadopt a child, Barbara and Briandecided they needed an outlet forall of the care and love they wantto give. They decided to share thatlove with some small furry beingsby adopting dogs instead.

“We just started adopting, fig-uring that while we wait for ourdream of adopting a child tocome true, why not help a coupleof pups who need some tender

loving care, which we have plentyof,” Brian said.

The Agnews have four dogs intheir home. Brian and Barbarahave an affinity for helping theless fortunate dogs – ones that areolder, have ailments and spend along time at the shelter.

“They all have a story. They allhave stuff they went through, but… they have so much love togive,” Barbara said, “and you getso much back.”

Coming to adoptBrian and Barbara met in 2006

and married in 2008. They lived inan apartment in Haddonfield be-fore moving to a home in Sick-erville.

They decided to adopt theirfirst dog in late 2006.

“We both grew up with dogsand felt like we wanted a dog to-gether. We wanted to care forsomething before marriage. It re-

ally brought us together and cre-ated a common goal,” Brian said.

Both knew they wanted toadopt a pet over buying from abreeder or a store.

“We really wanted to make adifference. There are so manydogs out there that need help andthat people don’t consider,” Bar-bara said.

Before they adopted, Brian andBarbara were sure to think aboutwhat they wanted and what kindof dog was appropriate for themso they felt prepared. They knewthey wanted an older dog becausepuppies can be a lot of work with

energy and training. However,they didn’t have a preference onbreed. The only thing they had tobe careful of was the apartmentthey were living in didn’t allowdogs more than 25 pounds.

According to Dawn Mason, op-erations director for the VoorheesAnimal Orphanage, it is impor-tant to ask yourself questions inpreparation for a pet. Thinkingabout the appropriateness of your living situation, yourlifestyle, your personality andhow that fits with your potentialpet is very important.

“We want to make sure thefamily or person matches the

dog's needs and personality,”Mason said.

Once they had an idea of whatthey wanted, Barbara and Briandecided to go to the VAO to find adog. Looking throughout the shel-

ter, one dog in particular caughttheir eye. It was Niles, a minia-ture pinscher, who was around 7or 8 at the time. He was found inGeorgia and was a week frombeing put down before he was res-cued and brought into the VAO,which is a no-kill shelter. Nileswas at the shelter for sevenmonths before Barbara and Brianadopted him.

“He was the best dog. He wassweet and would follow youaround like a puppy,” Brian said.

After Niles came their seconddog, Ellie, a now 2-year-old cairnterrier. Ellie’s addition to the fam-ily came about unexpectedly. A

coworker of Barbara’s had gottena puppy and couldn’t handle theresponsibility. When Barbaracommented on the adorablenessof Ellie, then 6 months, hercoworker asked if she wanted her.

After consulting with Brian, Bar-bara agreed.

The Agnews weren’t finished,though. They wanted another dogand went to the shelter onceagain. Since they had smallerdogs and Niles was older, theykept to the less than 25-pounddogs, as it is better for socializa-tion, according to Brian.

At the shelter, they found Milo,a jack russell terrier mix. Milo’sanxiety problems dissuaded po-tential adopters, however Bar-bara and Brian wanted to givehim a chance and have sincefound he’s a great fit.

When Niles died in January2015, it was a big hit to the family.However, it seemed it was fate.Not long after, the Agnews onceagain visited VAO and found adog they wanted to adopt – Rud-yard, an older miniature pinscher

that looked exactly like Niles. Hewas found wandering aroundNorth Jersey for months before fi-nally being caught and brought toa shelter.

However, the Agnews were notdone. About a month ago, after fil-ing their taxes, the Agnewsthought it was time to once againadd to their family. This time,their eyes fell on Gretel, a bichonpoodle mix that came into theshelter in horrendous condition.She was found in a box outside aDunkin Donuts in freezing coldweather. Her fur was nothing butlumps of mats, and once shaved,she was found to have a deformedfront paw. Although the wholefamily – dogs and humans – arestill adjusting to Gretel, they allseem to deeply love one another.

“If you build trust, show thema nice home and be patient withthem, they’ll come around andadapt to you,” Brian said.

The adoption processFor each of their adoptions, theAgnews had to go through aprocess to get their furry baby.

BRIGIT BAUMA/The Sun

Brian and Barbara Agnew added Milo, Ellie, Rudyard and Gretel to their family over the years, as a com-mitment to each other as well as in preparation for a baby. The Agnews chose adoption to save these an-imals’ lives as well as to show love and care for another being. However, they unexpectedly receive justas much love from their furry babies as they give.

By BRIGIT BAUMAThe Sun

If you are looking to adopt apet, it is important to makesure that you are prepared. Asadorable as a pet might be,there is a lot of responsibilitythat comes with having one.

Before thinking of adoption,there are a number of ques-tions that not only you shouldask yourself, but also an adop-tion agencyyou use mayask as well, ac-cording to theAnimal Or-phanage inVoorhees.

Questionsyou shouldask yourself

include:• Do I have

the time/re-sponsibility tocommit to apet?

• What kind of pet best suitsme and my activity level?

• How can I see this pet fit-ting in my lifestyle?

• Am I financially preparedfor this pet?

• Am I prepared to deal withany physical/emotional issuesthis pet may have?

• Am I prepared for a dailyand long-term commitmentwith this pet?

Animal shelters such as theBurlington County AnimalShelter, Camden County Ani-mal Shelter, Animal WelfareAssociation and Voorhees Ani-mal Orphanage ask questionssuch as:

• What kind of pet are youlooking for? Do you have expe-

rience with that pet?• How many people live in

your household? What ages arethey?

• Do you currently have any

pets? If so, what kind?• Did you ever give up a pet?• If you have a vet, who is it?

If not, do you have access toone?

• What kind of home do youlive in? Are pets allowed? Doyou have a fenced-in yard?Where will you keep your pet?

• What is a typical day atyour household like?• What qualities are you

looking for in your pet?• How

many hourswill the pet beleft alone?

• What isyour job?What are yourhours?

• Why areyou adopting

this pet?The shel-

ters may alsoask for refer-ences, such asyour vet, your

landlord, school/work or otherpersonal references they maycall.

“We want to make sure thefamily or person matches the(pet’s) needs and personality.We require that anyone adopt-ing one of our (pets) to have aveterinarian and a good solidhistory of being a good petowner,” Dawn Mason, opera-tions director of the VAO, said.

There are also a number of things you will need to adopt,including requirements foradoption and fees before andafter adoption.

Though it may be differentfor each shelter, according tothe Camden County AnimalShelter, you must have a valid

driver's license or state ID andbe over 18; show proof of yourcurrent address; demonstrate

Voorhees Animal Orphanageoperations director

Some shelters offer same-day adoptions

They used both the internet andin-person considerations for theiradoptions.

If considering adoption, thereare many ways you can search tofind pets. You can check online atthe shelters’websites orother well-known adop-tion sites suchaswww.petfind-er.com orwww.adop-tapet.com.You can alsogo in personto the shelterto see the pets.If you apply toadopt a dog online, you still mustgo to meet the dog in person.

The VAO is open seven days a

week for the public. Potentialadopters are invited to meet withthe staff and are encouraged tohave a walk-around to see all theanimals available for adoption. If an adopter is interested in a cer-

tain pet, they are able to take thepet out of the cage and interact

with him or her. If both adoptersand staff feel it’s a good match,the potential adopter would beconsidered.

For Brian and Barbara, fromthe submission of their applica-tion, it would usually take aboutone to three days to hear backfrom the shelter, after the shelter

hears backfrom vet,landlord andpersonal ref-erences.

Once theapplication isapproved, theshelter willensure allfamily mem-bers in ahousehold,includingdogs, official-

ly meet with the prospectiveadoptee before they are allowed togo home, to be sure everyone gets

along. The whole process wouldusually take anywhere from fourdays to a week.

“We do not do same-day adop-tions, as many people that comethrough our doors just happen to

be passing by and come in justout of curiosity to see what we do

and what kind of animals wehave. Many times, a customermay impulsively do an applica-tion for a cat or dog, without con-sulting their whole family or fullygrasping the responsibility of owning a dog or cat,” Mason said.

However, that isn’t the case forall shelters. The Burlington Coun-ty Animal Shelter, the AnimalWelfare Association and CamdenCounty Animal Shelter allow forsame-day adoptions.

“We’ve recently moved tosame-day adoption,” Eric Arpert,Burlington County public infor-mation officer, said. “In prioryears, adopting in our facilitycould be a multi-day or weekprocess.”

The shelters all strive to placeanimals in loving, responsiblehomes. However, a shelter envi-ronment does not provide anideal situation. Same-day adop-tions help ensure the best qualityof life for all animals, according

to Arpert.While the application has the

potential to be approved in thesame day, that doesn't necessarily

SOMEContinued from page 10

“One of the issues you

face without a same-day

application process is

that the shelter can miss

out on an opportunity.”

mean an animal can leave theshelter right away, since all ani-mals need to be vetted and spayedor neutered before adoption.

“One of the issues you facewithout a same-day applicationprocess is that the shelter canmiss out on an opportunity,”Arpert said, explaining thatwhile a family is waiting for an

application approval, they mayfind another animal at anothershelter to bring home. “If you’reapproved that day … that’s lesslikely to happen.”

The hurdles and drawbacksThough adoption might seem

like the right choice, there aresome potential hurdles peoplemay have to clear or they mightfind drawbacks to adoption.

Shelters try their best to nothave any hurdles for potential

adopters, however they are stillthere.

“We’re not here to add frustra-tions or barriers,” Vikki Rowlandfrom the Camden County AnimalShelter said. “(Adopters) are hereto adopt a dog or a cat, and ourstaff and volunteers are here toassist them with that and make itthe best fit for them.”

However, there are some unex-pected hurdles for which adoptersshould be prepared.

Not every pet you are interest-ed in will be available or work outfor you or your family. For exam-ple, shelters don’t choose whatdogs they get, so anyone lookingfor a specific breed or puppy maynot find that dog at the shelter.Also, especially for puppies and

kittens, the shelter can get manyapplications for one animal, so

the shelter will chose whom it be-lieves is the best fit for the pet.

Brian and Barbara were de-nied a dog they were interested inbecause one of their dogs wasnervous around the potentiallyadopted dog and the trainer didnot see the dogas a good fit.

Adopters alsohave to remem-ber there arefees associated

with adoption.Fees can rangefrom $35 up to$300, dependingon the shelter.That price caninclude all shotsand neutering/spaying, but not necessarily.Other expenses that need to beconsidered include vet visits, ail-ments that adopters may not haveknown at the time that need to betreated and the necessary items

needed for a pet once adopted.Mason said shelters give all in-

formation it has about the pet up-front. This includes breeds,known medical history, tempera-ments and any ailments found.However, because most of thedogs and cats come in as strays,there is no formal backgroundhistory for many of them.

“We believe in full disclosure.We are all animal advocates inthis work, and we need to ensuresuccess for the animals we adoptout and for the families that takethem,” Mason said.

However, that was not the casefor Barbara and Brian in regardto their adoption with Rudyard.When they got Rudyard, he wasknown to be frisky, as he was too

old to be neutered. However, theAgnews were not told about his

friskiness around female dogsuntil after he was adopted.

They also didn’t know aboutmany of his ailments until afterthey took Rudyard to their vet. Hewas found to have an enlargedprostate, a cyst and a stone, re-

quiring more money to have himbe treated. However, Barbara at-tributed the lack of knowledgeabout those issues to requiringmore invasive treatment to findthose problems and the lack of

time and funding for all of thepets to see a vet at the shelters.

“As much as they know, thevets can only look so far. I don’tthink they do that thorough of anexamination because they don’thave the funds. They rely on do-nations, they don’t get tons fortests and blood work with vetsthere. If you want to investigatefurther, you’re going to have to gothrough your own vet becausethey don’t have the money to doso,” Barbara said.

Another possible struggle afteradoption includes adaptation totheir new environment. Manypets will pee in places they arenot supposed to go for the firstfew weeks or months as theyadapt to their new environment,

according to the Agnews. Theyalso said the newly adopted pet

might not get along with otherpets in the household at first.However, after some time, andmaybe a little tussle, everyonelearns to get along.

“Whenever we have adopted anew dog, there has definitely

been some scuffling withour previous dogs, just likekids establishing who is incharge. But, we’ve alwaysfound that over time, dogsfigure out their place and

settle in,” Brian said.One final thing that canbe a struggle is findingtime and planning yourschedule around your pets.Pets are like children, ac-cording to the Agnews, andyou need to have them on a

schedule so they can feel safe.That will help improve behav-ioral problems and bodily acci-dents. Also, if planning to goaway for a few days or if you havea crazy work schedule, you need

to find a way to have your petcared for, either by a friend,neighbor or an animal daycare.

“Adopting a dog or cat takescompassion, commitment and re-sponsibility. You have to be will-ing to take her or him to the vetonce a year, feed her or him welland make sure that she or he isgetting proper exercise. It’s a lit-tle bit of a parenting job, but theyappreciate it so much,” Briansaid.

The benefits of adoptionThe Agnews believe there are

many more positive than nega-tive things that come from adop-tion.

The responsibility of having apet can be very positive. One can

learn time management, pa-tience, caring, problem solving

and much more. Brian and Bar-bara felt adoption was a way toprepare them for parenthood, andstill continue to think so, as theycall their dogs their babies.

“All of them really, really ap-preciate the second chance, andit’s like having little kids scam-pering around the house. If Barbor I are ever upset about some-thing, they pick up on it and snug-gle in or lick our faces. When wewake up in the morning, we often

find Milo and Ellie looking downat us excitedly waiting for us toget up like a kid on Christmasmorning. We feel really loved andappreciated by them and I thinkthey really know that we lovethem,” Brian said.

One of the best benefits fromadoption is the knowledge yousaved a life and could potentiallysave another. Having so manyhomeless pets in the world, thereis not enough space or funding tocare for all of them.

“The most rewarding benefit issaving a life while making moreroom in the shelter so we can con-tinue doing this work,” Masonsaid.

The Agnews feel adopted petsappreciate your taking them intoa home and caring for them, andthey show a little more love be-cause of it.

“Especially when you adoptthrough a shelter, they give you alittle more than you give themand you get a lot back. It’s like asense of helping them. I thinkthey know that and they becomeso grateful,” Barbara said.

“I really think there is a differ-ence. They know they are suffer-ing in there,” Brian said, “andyou’re there to save them.”

BENEFITSContinued from page 11

Benefits of adoption outweigh drawbacks, Agnews say

Mason: We want someone who will treat pet as family

“Adopting a dog or cat takes compassion,

commitment and responsibility...It’s a

little bit of a parenting job, but they appreciate it so much.”

BRIAN AGNEW

Adoptive pet parent

the ability to provide a stablehome, a safe environment, neces-

sary veterinary care and nutri-

tion, basic training, identificationand companionship for the ani-mal; and fill out anapplication/questionnaire.

Adoption fees can range from$35 to $300, depending on what

type of pet you are looking for as

well as any ailments the animalhas and length of time the animalhas been there. You will also haveto take your pet to your veterinar-ian for a visit after adoption,which is another fee to consider.

All in all, shelters would like

pets to go to a good home.“(For potential adopters, we

look for) a stable home life. Welike to see a good history of dog/cat ownership or, if it's thefirst time someone is adopting,

that they've done all the research

of what goes into caring for ananimal such as food, exercise,training and vet visits. (We want)someone who will treat an animalas a member of the family,”Mason said.

Palmer said soil erosion andother factors have caused numer-ous problems near the water’sedge.

“Water levels are down a littlebit,” Palmer said. “It’s not goodfor fish life. It’s not good for mos-quito breeding.”

The open space grant wouldhelp pay for environmental im-provements and reinforced banksalong the lake.

The other three grants, if awarded, will improve facilitiesat three parks. At Point of WoodsPark near Greentree Road, thetownship plans to make improve-ments to the tennis court, walk-ways and the picnic area. Similarimprovements are planned forAshland Park on the other side of town near Burnt Mill Road.

Improvements could also be ontap for the playground at DeCou

Park. A grant application wasfiled to relocate and add to the ex-isting equipment at the park.

Palmer said area residentsalerted township officials to anumber of areas needing atten-tion, such as Columbia Lake. Thefeedback was taken into accountwhen the township decided forwhich projects to apply for grantapplications.

“It was a result of direct feed-back from residents,” Palmer saidabout the application.

The Camden County OpenSpace grants will likely be award-ed sometime in September.
