LEGO STEM Night

By MIKE MONOSTRAThe Sun

It’s hard not to noticeMoorestown High School boys’volleyball senior Johnny McGin-ley when he’s on the court.

When McGinley serves, hesoars through the air, tossing theball more than 10 feet high.

When his hand hits the ball, adeep, booming sound emanates. If one were to stay focused onMcGinley as he serves or goes fora spike, they’d miss the play at theopposing end. McGinley frequent-ly hits the ball with such force heleaves the opposition frozen in its

path.McGinley is a major offensive

force for the Quakers, and his tal-ents were recognized at the 22-team Moorestown Tip-Off Tour-nament on April 2. McGinley wasnamed an all-star as the Quakerswent 6-1 in pool play in the tour-nament.

Being named an all-star is anhonor opposing coaches bestowedon McGinley. After each pool play

match during the tournament,each coach named a player on theopposing team to receive an all-star vote. McGinley receivedenough votes to be one of six play-ers named to the all-star team.

“If you’re sitting on the otherside of the net and there’s one kidconstantly slamming the ball, hegenerally stands out,”Moorestown head coach ScottAtkinson said.

McGinley didn’t play serious,competitive volleyball until hetried out for the high school teamfreshman year. His family has ahistory playing volleyball atMoorestown, as four of McGin-

ley’s older sisters played for thegirls’ team when they attendedthe school.

“I came into high school know-ing I was going to play volley-ball,” McGinley said. “I got a goodhang of it just because of my fam-ily background.”

McGinley has played all overthe court. He tried out as an out-

This is the final week in The

Sun’s “Help for Homeless Pets”

series. For four weeks, we have

looked at the state of homeless pets in

our region. We interviewed heads of

animal shelters, volunteers with res-

cues and foster families. We talked in-

take numbers, live release rates and – this week – how to potentially solve

such a staggering problem.

There’s no easy solution.

All of these non-profits are playing

a huge role in a very public problem.

They’re doing the best they can – and

the best they can is nothing to sneeze

at – but unfortunately, it’s not enough.

What these non-profits need is more

public support.

All of our interviewees agreed that

a big part of moving forward is educa-

tion – about the vital importance of

spaying and neutering, about ensur-

ing all pets are microchipped, about

the lifetime commitment of owning a

pet.

This is what we believe the next step

is – an organization that spearheads

the homeless animal education cam-

paign. There is no public education

about homeless animals at the state

level, and that’s where this should

start. Think “Click It or Ticket.”

Think “Drive Sober or Get Pulled

Over.” These programs have statefunding to target a statewide problem

that needs fixing, and homeless ani-

mals are most definitely a statewide

problem that needs to be fixed.

It’s true there are excellent educa-

tion campaigns already in place at a

local level. Our shelters and rescues

work hard to inform the public,

whether it is with advertising low-cost

spay and neuter clinics or offering free

training seminars for problem pets.

But everything comes down to money,

and between feeding and housing ani-

mals, paying employees and purchas-

ing much-needed items for facilities,

these shelters and rescues – even

banded together within towns and

counties – can only do so much in the

realm of educating the public.

There is strength in numbers. What

if there were more groups such as the

Camden County Animal Alliance, and

each had a representative who report-

ed to one state-level organization?

What if these alliances helped create a

state-run alliance solely focused on ed-ucating the public on finding a solu-

tion to the homeless animal problem?

The overarching goal of every ani-

mal shelter and rescue is to not exist.

Are the employees and volunteers of

these organizations passionate? Of

course they are. But that doesn’t mean

they would rather not be needed, be-

cause if they’re not needed, that

means every homeless animal – every

last dog, cat, rabbit and hamster – has

a home.

And to make this happen, there

needs to be more public support.

There needs to be more public educa-

tion. And if the state government got

behind it, we would be one step closer

to a home for every homeless pet.

in our opinion

Animals need statewide supportThe solution to homeless animal problem is education, from the top down

Thousands of animals findthemselves in local shelters eachyear, with no permanent homethrough adoption guaranteed.

Solving a problem of this mag-nitude will undoubtedly takeyears, but it is clear animal shel-ters across South Jersey have aplan.

“We think the demand for ourservice will continue to grow,”Animal Welfare Association Ex-ecutive Director Maya Richmond

said. “One thing we can always besure about moving forward ispeople always having love for ani-mals.”

It will just be a matter of if these organizations can properly

capitalize and collaborativelytackle this common goal in an ef-

ficient manner.Increasing family involvement

The behind-the-scenes plan-ning to reduce homeless animalsrequires extensive research, andshelters across the region aredoing their homework. Thegroups strategically plan for thefuture by studying trends.

They are constantly evaluatingneeds in the community to dis-

cover consistent ways to provideresources to specific populations

as efficiently as possible. They’realso actively looking for ways toget more families involvedthrough education outreach, en-gagement and service projectsthat bring families and corpora-tions to their location.

It has been almost threemonths since Shiver found her

way to the Animal Welfare As-sociation in Voorhees afterbeing abandoned in a box be-hind a local hardware store.Riddled with mammary tu-mors, underweight and dehy-drated, the 13-year-old minia-ture pinscher mix was far fromthe picture of health.

Thanks to the AWA, thingslook a little different for Shivertoday.

“It’s amazing what can hap-pen in a few short months,”

AWA shelter manager NanciKeklak said.

Shiver recovered from herfirst in a se-ries of

surgeries to remove her tu-mors, the majority of whichhave been malignant. Herchronic dry eye condition isbeing managed daily, and she’s

back to a healthy weight.“She looks fantastic,”Keklak said. “Any time shecomes in with her foster mom,she’s all snuggled in with herblankie. Her foster mom says,‘She can walk on a leash, butshe prefers to be carried.’”

It’s safe to say life has turnedaround for Shiver and, accord-ing to foster mom Alicia Red-fern, the little dog is paying itforward.

Redfern, a Voorhees resi-

dent, works in the rehabilita-tion department of a local long-term care facility, where Shiverhas become a favorite amongstaff and residents.

“Shiver comes to work withme every day. She’s been able toget through to residents in

ways that we can’t,” Redfernsaid. “She is really affection-

ate but not in a demandingkind of way. She’s just

very, very gentle. I’ve had

residents do thingswith Shiver that Icouldn’t get them to

do in therapy.”Redfern said the

connection Shiv-er has with herresidentsbrings tears toher eyes. Resi-dents be-come morefocusedand moti-

Abandonment doesn’t

Richmond: Non-profit rescues have grown, but donations have not

make them feel comfortable,”Richmond said.

The executive director of theCamden County Animal Shelter,Vicki Rowland, believes the econ-omy has an impact on family in-volvement.

“More people would get in-volved if they had more time,”Rowland said.

Families are often deterredfrom experimenting with the idea

of fostering or adopting animalsbecause they believe it would betoo much of a financial burden.

However, with organizationssuch as the CCAS, it is completelyfree. The rescue provides every-thing it takes to care for a fosterpet. According to Rowland, themajor challenge it faces is gettingthe word out to families that fos-tering is free, fun and rewarding.

The organization recently gotinvolved in targeting feral cats – an animal Richmond agreed is

being brought into shelters morefrequently.

Owner reclaims of animalsthat come into CCAS are not espe-cially high, specifically for cats.Historically, Rowland said re-

claims of cats are less than 2 per-cent of intake compared to 12 per-cent of dogs.

Getting phone calls from resi-

dents concerned about feral catsliving in their town is not uncom-mon for local shelters and res-cues.

“We’re still trying to brain-storm action steps,” Rowlandsaid. “How do we answer thequestions and provide the solu-tions for those people who call?”

The CCAS looks to continue toeducate and provide appropriateresources for families moving for-ward to help them deal with these

problems and get involved withshelters.

Building regional relationshipsOver the last 15 to 20 years,

non-profit rescues have continuedto grow. However, donations havenot.

According to Richmond, thishas set up a dynamic the sheltercommunity needs to be aware of.

“We need to work more collabo-ratively, maybe even combinesome shelters in order to reduce

cost so animals can get more,”Richmond said.

One Love Animal RescueChairwoman Sherri Smithagreed with Richmond in thesense that she would rather see

existing shelters get funded moreappropriately instead of creatingmore.

“I would like to see those exist-ing organizations be able to ex-pand discounted or free veteri-nary services to the community,be able to create educational and

outreach programs for the com-munity, and be able to create andsupport more programs to getshelter pets trained to assist indi-viduals who need companionshipor special help,” Smith said.

Rowland has noticed a trend-ing decline in intake over the lastfive years.

“Five years ago, I was takingover 6,000 animals a year, andnow I’m taking nearly 4,000 ani-mals a year,” Rowland explained.“I don’t believe the number of

shelters and rescues in New Jer-sey will increase in the future.”

In 2011, the Camden CountyAnimal Alliance began bringingorganizations together when it

joined the CCAS, Animal Welfare

Association, Animal AdoptionCenter, Voorhees Animal Or-phanage and Independent Ani-mal Control to help improve theservices it provides to animalsand communities. The alliancenow meets once a month with afocus on continuing to look for

partnerships with strugglingcommunities.

“Pet ownership is alifetime commitment,” VickiRowland said. “Pets are our chil-dren.”

Rowland, the executive direc-tor of the Camden County Ani-

mal Shelter, can’t stress enoughthe importance of understand-ing the responsibility thatcomes along with pet

ownership.“Clearly (the CCAS) is offer-

ing a service to those who, at theend of the day, there’s absolutelyno hope for that person keepingtheir pet. That’s what we’re herefor,” Rowland said. “But thenthere’s always the other side of that coin. They may adopt a cutepuppy, but then it grows up and

it’s too much. They don’t think itthrough.”Thinking through an adop-

tion is just one way local shel-

ters and homeless pet advocatessay the problem of homelesspets can be helped. Find outmore suggestions below.

Ways to reduce the numberof homeless animals

• Consider all responsibilitiesof pet ownership before adopt-

ing your pet. Remember, as Row-land said, that pet ownership is alifetime commitment for that an-imal.

• Have a problem pet? Don’tgive up. Talk to your vet and in-vest in a trainer if pet behavioris becoming an issue.

• Microchip your pet and keepthe information up-to-date. Haveyour pet wear an ID tag. “I thinkthat is good for people to know,”Barbara Agnew, adoptive parentto four dogs, said. “Get your dog

microchipped and make sure ithas a tag on it.”• If you see a homeless pet, re-

port it. Don’t assume someone

else already did.• Spay and neuter your pet.

“Neutering or spaying pets is areal way to prevent more home-less pets being out in the world,”Eric Arpert, Burlington Countypublic information officer,said.

• If you absolutely cannotkeep your pet, never abandon it.

Surrender your pet to a rep-utable shelter or rescue that isequipped to find the animal thebest placement.

Cape May County to help an areathat doesn’t have great exposure.

Spay/neuter targetingThe promoting of targeted

spaying and neutering has be-come a top priority of sheltersstatewide.

“Specifically-targeted

spay/neuter is one of our goals intrying to prevent pet overpopula-tion,” Rowland said.

The AWA focuses on continu-ing to commit efforts toward un-derserved communities or what itrefers to as “deserts of services.”

“We try to be proactive andmindful of their situations so weare not deg rading anybody, butbeing there to support their com-munity and building trust andproviding resources to them,”Richmond said.

The AWA is making a particu-lar effort to have cats spayed orneutered due to the rising num-ber of feral cats in the area. TheCCAS recently hosted its first catclinic targeted toward Camdenresidents. The clinic, subsidizedby a grant, offers freespay/neuter surgeries and vacci-nations. About 10 cats werespayed or neutered at this firstclinic.

“It went well,” Rowland said.“We’re really trying to supply out-reach to Camden as far as offer-ing the services to an area thatdoesn’t have them already of-fered.”

The clinics will continue untilthe grant obligation is fulfilled,

meaning 130 cats will be spayedor neutered. Another clinic isplanned this month.

“We will keep spreading theword – spay /neuter your pets! Itwon’t change until this is widelyaccepted by everyone as the onlyway to responsibly care for yourpet,” Smith said.

ObjectivesThe No. 1 goal of all these or-

ganizations is to eventually reach

a 100 percent live release rate.But with each new animalbrought, a new challenge is pre-sented.

“I don’t have a choice of whatcomes in. I have to take all ownersurrenders and extreme cases,”Rowland said.

To increase adoption rates at arecord pace, One Love works ex-tremely hard to portray rescueand adoption in a positive light.

“We have good cameras andmake sure our photos of adopt-

able dogs are more like a dreamy,happy portrait than a sad, darkphoto of an animal behind kennelbars,” Smith said.

The rescue wants people to as-sociate adopting a rescue pet withthe amazing and positive experi-ence they truly believe it to be.

“It is our goal to show how glo-rious and rewarding it is to fosterand/or adopt an animal in need,”Smith said.

To do this and in turn raiseadoption rates, the group has seta number of objectives.

It continues to grow its com-munication plan with surround-ing shelters and its online follow-

ing by enhancing its website andsocial media experience. It posts

things such as happy family adop-tion photos and photos that showthe progress of rescue pets toshine the positive light on whatcan come of the services with thehelp of families in the area.

It is also constantly looking toexpand communication when itcomes to the local available petsin shelter to understand as muchas possible about each pet’s be-havior and medical services.

Expanding and upgradingLimited space has also become

a problem local shelters are look-ing to tackle.

“We have to havemore space,” Rich-mond said. “We op-erate in 40 percent of the space that organ-izations similar to usaround the countryhave.”

At the BurlingtonCounty Animal Shel-

ter, a new cat roomwas added in 2014and opened in 2015.

“The cat room wasmade as an alternative to cagesthat the cats would normally stayin. This allows them to get the so-cialization they need as well asfor families to see and interactwith cats they could potentiallyadopt,” Eric Arpert, BurlingtonCounty public information offi-cer, said.

The BCAS also has a new dogplay area and dog play groups,which help with socialization.Being cooped in a shelter canhave a potentially negative im-

pact on dogs, causing anxiety andstress, according to Arpert. Areas

for dogs to play outside and withother dogs help with that.

“The outside play area makesthese dogs more adoptable,”Arpert said.

Many local shelters have ex-pansion projects in place and un-derway.

The AWA is looking into athree-year facility upgrade thatincludes remodeling its adoptioncenter to make things more wel-coming for visitors. The associa-

tion plans to expand its technicaland training expertise programsas well by looking into animals’needs and trying to cater to them

through these programs.The Voorhees Animal Orphan-

age’s $1.6 million “Take MeHome” capital campaign waslaunched in January. At a Jan. 28press conference, VAO officialssaid the organization hopes toraise the funds necessary to con-solidate several outdated and sep-arate outbuildings on its groundsinto one new, modernized struc-ture.

BCAS is also looking to expandits current facility. Some of themain features of the projectwould include an expansion tothe front, including a new wel-come area, entrance and parkinglot; the addition of new acquain-tance rooms and cat rooms; moreoffices; and dog runs and playareas outside.

The expansion was approved

for $1.9 million and is incorporat-ed in the county budget, accord-ing to Arpert.

“We believe that the new ex-pansion will help more pets beadopted,” Arpert said. “This will

save lives, with hopefully havingmore adoptions and less pet over-

load and costs, having less to payfor pets.”

What’s the answer?“There’s no one set answer,”

Rowland said. “Spay/neutering isclearly the top thing – education,awareness, the whole nineyards.”

Smith agreed with this notion.One Love plans to place a specialfocus on getting the spay/neutermessage to the public, providing

more discounted or free steriliza-tion services to everyone, andpromoting awareness and educa-tion specifically in low-income

areas.Encouraging

adoptions is key,too, according toRowland, alongwith making surethe public knowsthere are all sortsof animalsavailable at shel-

ters.“It’s that aware-

ness that we haveso many great

dogs, great cats, all differentshapes, sizes, breeds, and I thinkthere’s that misconception. Wehave everything. We get every-thing in,” she said.

Shelters across South Jerseyare trying to set the standard forcare extremely high, in hopesother rescues will follow theirlead.

“We are striving to create bestpractices that might somedayguide other rescuers and helpadopters find reputable rescue or-ganizations,” Smith said.

They strive to supply theircommunities with skills peopleneed to make an impact and ele-vate the well-being of homelessanimals.

“It’s incredibly touching for uswhen we see it work out,” Rich-mond said. “We believe if we help

the humans, they will help the an-imals.”

What Shiver does is empowering, foster mom says

when Shiver is around. Onewoman with no short-termmemory even remembered giv-ing Shiver a bath the next day.

“She has so many medical is-sues, and she’s older. I don’tknow if there’s a kindred spiritthere,” Redfern said. “I don’t

know what it is, but I’ve beenaround a lot of animals and I’venever seen an animal have somuch impact on so many peoplebefore.”

And, according to Shiver’sfoster mom, there’s no doubt thelittle dog was loved at somepoint in her life.

“She just loves everybody,”Redfern said. “For an old girlthat was abandoned, the thingsshe’s doing for so many peoplenow … it’s so empowering.”

The Moorestown Water Group,a group formed to stay informedabout the township’s water issuesas well as advocating for thecleanest water for residents, helda meeting last week spreading in-formation about Moorestown’swater, expressing concerns onregulations and planning its nextcourse of action.

The group’s concerns are overthe chemicals Trichloropropane(TCP 1,2,3), Trichlorethylene(TCE), Gross Alpha, CombinedRadium and Manganese beingfound in the township’s drinkingwater.

Water Group member DanielleBrodecki, a Moorestown resident

and utility engineer, said eventhough Moorestown is not in vio-lation of any maximum contami-nant levels per the state Depart-ment of Environmental Protec-tion’s standards, it does not meanthere have not been exceedances.Brodecki gave examples from theannual 2014 Moorestown WaterQuality Report, which statesgross alpha and combined radi-um had exceeded the MCL. How-ever, because the MCL was not ex-ceeded in four quarters, or therunning annual average over theyear, then it is not a violation perthe NJDEP.

This summer, the Departmentof Parks & Recreation is offeringa wide variety of programs, class-es, clinics and camps. The newestcamp being offered this summeris the Summer Art Camp withArtist in Residence SophiaGeiger. The Summer Arts Campwill take place Monday throughFriday, Aug. 1 to 5 from 9 a.m. to12:30 p.m. at the Church StreetRecreation Center.

The Summer Art Camp will beopen to rising kindergartenersthrough rising fourth graders.The camp will offer a completeweek of workshop-styled lessons

that will involve a wide array of artistic mediums including draw-

ing, painting and sculptural artas well as scientific art. Addition-ally, campers of all ages will worktogether to create a group projectthat will be placed somewherewithin the community.

The structure of the camp willallow each artist the ability to ro-tate through different stationsduring the course of the week.Each day, every camper will par-ticipate in focused, intensive les-sons in two of the subjects. Theywill rotate between the stationsover the course of the week so, bythe final day, they will take homesix separate and independentprojects. Children will be brokeninto smaller age groups to workon age appropriate art projects.

The theme of this summer’scamp is experiential learning infun art. Following a summer longexploration of the beauty and artin the environment, the SummerArt Camp will continue thistheme. This camp session is for

the artist who loves “diving in” toprojects and really exploring thearts. Assisted by high school andcollege students who have a con-centration in the arts, Geiger will

lead these young explorersthrough the joy and wonder of

creating in different mediums. Atthe scientific art station, childrenwill learn how to work with artmediums that “react.” At the 3D-sculptural station, children willcreate free-standing, three dimen-sional art projects. At the draw-ing station, children will explorethe world of cartooning andanime as well as traditional pen-cil drawings. The painting sta-tion will offer children the abilityto work on their own “master-piece” complete with easels, paintbrushes and acrylic paints.

The final “station” will be thegroup project where all camperswill come together to work on acomprehensive project. Thisgroup project will be used and/ordisplayed somewhere within thecommunity. This project will be alarge-scale project that will allowall children the ability to let theirartistic skills shine.

“I tried out as a freshman onthe outside,” he said. “I got put onthe team as a center. I was behinda senior. Sophomore year I was alibero. I actually thank coach a lotfor that because it’s taught mehow to set, it’s taught me how topass and I started playing club aswell, playing the outside positionand learning how to hit.”

Playing libero was whenMcGinley began to really grow asa player. Atkinson credits McGin-ley with working hard to learnthe sport. McGinley learned howto become a big hitter throughconstant practice.

“In volleyball, you’re hitting amoving object with a moving ob-

ject,” Atkinson said. “It’s a verydifficult skill to learn. The kids

who do it well like Johnny makeit look easy. It’s not. There’s a lotof coordination involved andthere’s a lot of repetition in-volved.”

“He’s played club, he’s workedin the summer and he’s gotten tothe point where that is now just areflex,” Atkinson added.

As good a hitter as McGinleyis, Atkinson said many don’t real-ize how solid McGinley’s otherskills are.

er,” Atkinson said. “He was most-ly recognized as a good attacker.”

The leadership skills are espe-cially important for aMoorestown team that had a fewnew players move into the start-ing lineup this season.

“We’re grooming a new setter,we’re grooming a new opposite,

we’re grooming a new libero,”Atkinson said. “Where he hasbeen very helpful is in giving oursetter constant, positive feed-back.”

“I try to do a good job of con-trolling the court and doing mybest to reach out to other play-ers,” McGinley said.

The Quakers won the first two

regular season matches, butMcGinley believes the team has afew things it needs to fix.Moorestown has struggled earlyin matches during the first weekand the Tip-Off Tournament,falling behind in opening sets,leading a number of the tip-off matches to go down to the wire.

“We’re going to fix that duringpractice and fix that during thenext few games,” McGinley said.“That’s why it was so close. I’mreally liking how we’re starting to

realize quickly what we need toget done.”

McGinley is also trying tomake a number of improvementswith his game.

“I want to get a little bit moreconsistent on my serves, startpassing a little bit better,” he said.“I’ve been really pleased with myhits this year.”

where the ball will make stops atevents and public and private lo-cations for people to have the op-portunity to add rubber bands,take photos and be a part of aworthy endeavor.

“(The rubber band ball) is real-ly about ‘Bands that Unite US,’the advocacy of effective pro-grams for children and youth toprevent abuse and to supportthem when they have beenabused. We’ve got to ‘band’ to-

gether to address the needs of these youth. The rubber band ballis just a symbol; this is a call to ac-tion,” Susan Buchwald, CEO of CTS, said.

The idea for the rubber bandball came about when CTS wastasked with sending a 5,000 per-son mailing on a very tight dead-line. Sixty people showed up tohelp, and each envelope was la-beled, stuffed and stamped withinthree hours to make the deadline.

Through all of the stress, Buch-wald created a rubber band ball,which sparked the idea.

It seems only fitting that asCTS sets on its journey, April is

National Child Abuse PreventionMonth. CTS has the goal to breakthe rubber band ball record of 9,032 pounds, which was ap-proved by Guinness World

Records, but also to unite every-one in support of youth who havebeen abused, neglected and aban-doned.

“We know that traumatizedyouth, if not resolved, the effectswill have long-term impacts …It’s really about the children,”Buchwald said.

The first band added to the ballwas given to the most fitting per-son, Michael Hess, a 26-year-oldman who has gone through CTS’programs. At the age of 9, he was

a youth affected by abuse. Hess isnow a behavioral assistant withthe organization.

“Coming to this programchanged my life for the better.There was nothing bad about it. Ifelt safe and comfort when I need-ed it. Without it, I wouldn’t bestanding here today,” Hess said.

From there, a number of thosewho attended added to the ball, in-cluding Burlington County Free-holder Mary Ann O’Brien and

Mayor Phil Garwood.“It is our community comingtogether to make this happen. Ithink it is something we will allenjoy doing. I look forward to fol-

lowing it on social media andhope we all tell our friends whatis going on with it,” Garwoodsaid.

As the ball rolls along, at each

stop everyone will get a chance toadd a rubber band. There willalso be the opportunity to buy awristband that comes with a rub-ber band to add on. All proceedsand donations will go to CTS andits efforts to support at-riskyouths and educate communities.

The first donation from thecampaign started when CTSTrustee Cheryl Pliskin auctionedoff $20. That $20 grew to a grandtotal of $3,000 with four individu-als committing to pay $750 to CTS.

CTS has a year to try to breakthe record and spread its mission.So far, the rubber band ball al-ready has a few stops planned asit rolls its way through New Jer-sey and Philadelphia. Some stopsinclude Moorestown TownshipPublic Schools, the Garden StateDiscovery Museum, the YMCAMt. Laurel branch, Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jerseyand Target in Mt. Laurel. Therewill also be an unveiling in Salem

County.To learn more about CTS, be-come a sponsor for the campaignor just to follow the rubber ball’s

The Rotary Club of Moorestown had a special lunch

meeting on March 24 to honor theclub’s first female president,Mary Wells. Wells has made ahuge difference in the lives of Ro-tarians and paved the way formany more women in the club.During the presentation, atten-dees saw the history of the clubfrom when no women were mem-bers, national news clips fromwhen the federal governmentpassed laws to enable women tobecome members, and so remem-bered so many of Wells’ accom-

plishments.When Wells joined when there

was only one other female mem-ber in 1988. By 2001, there were 16women out of 90 Rotarians andnow in 2016, there are 30 womenout of 80 members.

It was a packed house with peo-ple who traveled long distances tobe there, and Wells’ family was also there to see how much she has made an impact on so many

of the Rotary members. Wellscontinues to be a true inspirationto many.

A few accomplishments worthnoting: founder and CEO of Fam-ily Services of Burlington Coun-ty; elected to Moorestown TownCouncil; Moorestown Citizen of the Year 1994; one of the firstwomen in the Rotary Club of Moorestown 1988; first womanpresident in Rotary Club of Moorestown 2003-2004; recipientof the Connie Woodruff &Wynona M. Lipman OutstandingWoman Award in 2004; Woman of the Year 2003 by Burlington Coun-

ty Women’s Advisory Council;and the Burlington County Free-holders, Volunteer of the Year1999.

Wells’ daughter spoke from theheart and brought tears to somany people in the room, and allthe while, Wells and her husband,Judge Skip Wells, glowed withpride.

MCL for radium since the 2014 re-port and the gross alpha sinceJune 2015.

Moorestown is aware of theconcerns of the citizens, especial-ly with TCP 1,2,3 and TCE. To ad-dress the concerns, the townshiphas had a pilot plan in place that

will find a way to filter out all of the chemical concerns; hasturned off the water wells con-taining TCP 1,2,3 and TCE and isusing New Jersey AmericanWater; and is going out for a tem-porary solution of a carbon filtra-tion system to get rid of the TCP1,2,3 and TCE from the wells so itcan have the affected wells run-

ning during the summer, the peaktime of water use.

However, the MoorestownWater Group is not happy withthe temporary solution. It wouldlike the temporary solution to ad-dress all of the chemicals causingconcern. They feel the temporarysolution is a waste of money andwould rather continue to use NewJersey American Water or findanother solution.

The group has also expressedconcerns with finding the source

of the man-made chemicals, thelength of time it will take for thepermanent solution to be put inand the costs of everything. Thepermanent solution, as of now, isplanning to be installed in thesummer of 2017.

In attendance at the meetingwere 2016 Moorestown Democrat-ic council candidate Kati Angeli-

ni and state Assemblyman HerbConaway (D-7). Angelini hasbeen one of the individuals spear-heading the group.

Conaway, too, is no stranger toMoorestown’s water. In 2014, heand Troy Singleton proposed leg-islation that would establish safemaximum contaminant levels of Trichloropropane (TCP 1, 2, 3), asHawaii is the only state that regu-lates it.

This came after residentsbegan to express concern over

levels of an unregulated contami-nant that was reported in thetownship’s drinking water in its2013 Water Quality Report. Thatbill was approved by both thestate Assembly and the Senate,but vetoed by Gov. Christie.

At the meeting, Conaway sug-gested that when speaking aboutthe issue, they present the factsand possible dangers, as well asthe possible costs, which are im-portant to include because itcould affect taxes.

He also expressed his concernswith the regulation authoritythat NJDEP has on locally-runwater companies. He feels theNJDEP should have more author-ity over them. Conaway said hewould investigate the issue fur-ther and see what actions hecould take as an assemblyman.

The group planned to attendthe Moorestown council meetingheld Monday, April 11 to expressits concerns during public com-

ment. Members also plan tospread the word through socialmedia, letters, speaking to au-thorities in town such as theMoorestown Ministerium andword of mouth.

The Moorestown Water Grouphas a presence on Facebook,which can be found by searching“Moorestown Water.” The grouphas more than 500 likes. Those in-terested in learning more aboutthe group and updates on thetownship’s water can go there or

visit the township’s website atwww.moorestown.nj.us.
