Rowan College at BurlingtonCounty has officially unveiled thefirst images of its new StudentSuccess Center and transformedMt. Laurel campus.

The new construction and re-design come as the college contin-ues plans to transform Mt. Laurelinto the college’s main campusand close the former main cam-pus in Pemberton Township.

The Mt. Laurel site has morestudents enrolled than all of thecollege’s other sites combined, asenrollment has drastically shiftedover the past decade.

The new 75,000-square-foot Stu-dent Success Center has been de-scribed as the centerpiece of theredesign and will be positioned toface Route 38 and form a quadwith the existing buildings oncampus.

Rowan College at Burlington

County President Paul Draytonsaid the building is expected tocost around $22 million, althoughthe expenses have not yet been fi-nalized.

Drayton said the college ex-pects construction to start some-time in August or September,with work completed by the endof 2017.

In describing the building,Drayton said it was designed to

focus on students’ needs now andas the college moves into the next10 or 15 years. Plans for the build-ing include the college’s book-store, dining services, library orknowledge commons, financialaid offices, student-counselingservices, study areas and more.

“We want this building to betheir building, not something thatwe’re designing for our tastes but

what really meets the needs of our students,” Drayton said.

Mark Coan of USA Architects,Planners + Interior Designers,which is managing the design of the new building, echoed Draytonand said the new building wouldbe the most “student-centric facil-ity” on campus.

Coan described the two-storybuilding as consisting of two

block sections connected by anatrium. Dining spaces will fill outthe northern right section of thebuilding facing the quad, whileareas for the bookstore and part-ners of RCBC are toward thesouth side of the building facingRoute 38.

“We want this building to be amagnet for students and facultyfrom the existing quadrangle so

we have this welcoming edge,”Coan said.

Coan said much of the buildinginterior will have a “living roomconcept” to make a space wherestudents feel like they’re at home.

The outside of the building fac-ing Route 38 will have brick-liketones to match other buildings on

When the Mount Laurel GreenTeam was created in 2010, thegroup consisted of five people.

This volunteer committee runby the township has now grownto more than a dozen active mem-bers and often sees well morethan 50 people at its annual town-ship cleanups held every April.

This year’s cleanup will be heldon April 16 from 9 a.m. to noon.

The group will meet at thetownship community center andset out to beautify a number of areas in town by cleaning up lit-ter.

Volunteers will be providedwith gloves, bags and snacks aftertheir morning of work.

“This trash is an eyesore andwould eventually end up pollut-

ing our rivers and oceans if it isnot collected,” secretary of theGreen Team Ed Cohen said. “It isalso an excellent opportunity tosee some Mt. Laurel open spaceup close.”

Alongside township managerand chair of the Green TeamMaureen Mitchell, Cohen hasbeen the secretary of the team forthe last five years.

“I joined the team to help en-

courage sustainable practices inMt. Laurel by residents, visitors,businesses and the township it-self,” he said.

Cohen said each person’s rea-son for joining the team is differ-ent. Everyone comes to the GreenTeam with their own passion,whether that is recycling,cleanups, gardening or other rea-sons.

The group focuses on letting

each person pursue this passionby empowering them to put onprograms, find information andspeak with the town council, agroup that regularly attends theGreen Team meetings.

“Most people recognize thatour society does not always takeactions based on long-term plan-ning,” Cohen said.

This past winter, the Mt. LaurelTownship Municipal Utilities Au-thority completed the replace-ment of 240 feet of 8-foot watermain on Wharton Road.

“This project was already onour radar but was fast tracked

due to the sudden onset of multi-ple leaks in this area during thepast summer,” said Brian Dippoli-to, water distribution supervisor.

Although the piping still metall regulatory requirements, theauthority felt that customers inthis neighborhood were not re-ceiving an acceptable level of service.

Some areas of Mt. Laurel havesoil that is highly corrosive caus-ing buried pipes to rust on theoutside thereby causing leaks andshortened pipe life.

Water mains should last atleast 75 years; however the Whar-

ton main was less than 25 yearsold.

Cost of the project was approx-imately $150,000, which was fund-ed by utilizing the Authority’s ex-isting Capital Improvement Pro-gram.

Project Manager Charlie Shoe-maker explains, “This job wasn’twithout problems, but we hopeour customers understand thedisruptions were necessary inorder to properly repair and con-nect their services to the new pip-ing.”

The final paving took place inJanuary.

Please recyclethis newspaper.

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 involvementThe 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 populationsas 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 hadresidents do things

with 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-

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

Families are often deterredfrom experimenting with the ideaof 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 theseproblems 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.”

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 Green Team educates oth-ers and encourages smarterchoices.

A prime example of this wouldbe the group’s encouraging of thetownship to reduce mowing byplanting wildflowers. The reduc-tion of mowing saves money, pro-vides more natural space and re-duces pollution caused by mow-ing.

Cohen expressed a specificfondness toward the educationand outreach aspect of the GreenTeam.

The group will be hosting aquestion and answer with certi-fied master gardener Joan John-son at the community garden onApril 30, a free movie about cli-mate change followed by a discus-

sion panel on May 17 and aMonarch Butterfly presentationon June 5.

The team also plans to host a

shredding event at the same timeas the cleanup on April 16. Folksare encouraged to bring theirbags and/or boxes of papers to beshredded and then join thecleanup next door.

“One-hundred percent of theshredded paper from this event isrecycled,” Cohen said.

The Green Team makes it a pri-ority to host regular meetings ina fun, productive and educationalmanner. Anyone interested in be-

coming a team member is encour-aged to attend these meetings.“To make significant changes,

the community as a whole mustrecognize that everything they doand everything they don’t domakes a difference. Most peopleare busy, but the Mount LaurelGreen Team would love to reachthem and get greater involve-

Join 9-year-old Mt. Laurel resi-dents Courtney and Sabrina inApril when they set up a lemon-ade stand to raise money for theAlex’s Lemonade Stand Founda-

tion. Sabrina and Courtney wererecently challenged to make a dif-ference in their community bytheir third grade GAP teacherMrs. Kuchera at Springville Ele-mentary. In class, they learnedhow one child could make a bigdifference, and the girl they mostadmired was Alex from Alex’sLemonade Stand. Alex’s Lemon-ade Stand was originally startedby Alexandra "Alex" Scott, whodied of cancer in 2004 at the age of 8. On her first birthday, she wasdiagnosed with neuroblastoma,and once she reached the age of two, Alex could finally crawl andstand with her leg braces.

Although Alex had prolongedhospital stays, one day she toldher mother, “When I come out of this place, I want to have a lemon-ade stand and donate the money

to children like me.”Even though she wanted to

help herself, she wanted to helpothers with cancer as well.

With that message in mind,Courtney and Sabrina will beholding a lemonade standfundraiser on April 23 from 9 a.m.to noon at 5 Daylily Drive.

Courtney and Sabrina ask thecommunity for help in makingAlex’s dream come true one cupat a time. Donations are also ac-cepted at the webpages Courtneyand Sabrina created atwww.alexslemonade.org/ my-page/1220735 or www.alexslemon-ade.org/mypage/1220968.

“We wanted something differ-ent than what existed, but not sodifferent that it didn’t fit in,”Drayton said.

The college’s Rowan name andlogo will also adorn the buildingon several sides.

In addition to the new building,Drayton said the college alsospent time to look for greater effi-ciency in current buildings as Mt.Laurel becomes RCBC’s maincampus.

Drayton said the college’s En-terprise Center, which previouslyhad very little college activityand was run as more of an eventsfacility, will see every single roomin the building used for collegepurposes.

Space that was formerly leasedto outside tenants in the college’sformer Incubator building, re-cently renamed Evans Hall, will

also now be used entirely for col-lege purposes.

“It’s important because it

saved us from having to build twonew buildings, which would havecost $20 million or $30 million if we did not repurpose those build-ings,” Drayton said.

Plans for the campus redesignalso include the completion of the “loop” road on site, which will

now fully enclose the campus andallow drivers to make a completecircle around it.

Drayton and Coan also notedthat adequate space also remains

in several areas on the Mt. Laurelcampus should the college needmore buildings in the future.
