    “Rock 4 Paws really showcasesour commitment to our roots of always being there for our localrescues,” Paw It 4Ward founderAzita Kay said. “Seeing the eventgrowing, the passion from the res-cues, the people who come outand really love what we do … it’sprobably the most amazing thingI’ve ever done in my life.”

    That’s what we strive for.”Rock 4 Paws is a fundraiser for

    Paw It 4Ward Foundation, whichassists local animal rescues withfunds to offset medical costs. Kay,who serves as Paw It 4Ward presi-dent, founded the Cherry Hill-based nonprofit in 2013.

    off adoptable pets.“It’s a great way for them to

    step it up and make some moneyas well,” Kay said, adding all dif-ferent breeds – from small tolarge – will be available for adop-tion.

    The Medford school board elec-tion is a passionate subject forsome Medford residents.

    During the Tuesday, May 17meeting of the Medford Town-ship Council, residents spokeagainst moving the school boardelections from November toApril. Residents cited reasonssuch as cost for an additional elec-tion, the loss of programs if the

    budget is not approved and fore-seeing problems with the budgetgoing to the council for approval.

    At a meeting in April, councildiscussed the possibility of mov-

    ing the school board election toApril, as this year would be thefirst eligible date to move the elec-tion back to its original date, andsome residents a few months agotold council moving the Aprilelections to November four yearsago was “unjust.” This is becausemoving the election to Novemberremoved the right to vote on thebudget from residents, as long asit doesn’t exceed the 2 percent in-crease cap. Council decided itwould hold a meeting in June on

    the subject.“As a taxpayer I’m against it …

    it could potentially reduce thebudget and hurt programs,”Diana Pasca said.

    Residents stated multiple rea-sons as to why the electionsshould stay in November. Theysaid adding the April electionwould cost more money; theyfeared that budgets would not beapproved and programs could getcut; they felt cutting programscould negatively affect theschools, also affecting the value of the education, especially for spe-cial needs children; and that put-ting the decision of the BOEbudget in the hands of the coun-

    cil could have a negative impact.“My fear of moving the elec-

    tion to April is adding the cost of

    e’ re all familiar with Me-

    morial Day. We know that it

    is a day set aside to honor

    the brave men and women who made

    the ultimate sacrifice to protect our

    country and the freedom we have.

    And we know that it is celebrated on

    the last Monday in May, thereby creat-ing a three-day weekend for most.

    Maybe it shouldn’t be that way.

    Back when Memorial Day was first

    established during the Civil War era, it

    was observed on May 30. It had its own

    special day, which, many will argue,

    kept the focus on the meaning of the

    day.

    They have a point.

    When one thinks of Memorial Day

    these days, it’s easy to lose focus.

    There are Memorial Day sales at

    stores and the “kick-off to summer”sentiment. That people have three

    days off often overshadows what the

    spirit of Memorial Day is all about.

    We don’t want to sound completely

    negative. Many communities still take

    pride in holding a thoughtful, mean-

    ingful Memorial Day ceremony

    and/or parade. We still see flags dis-

    played. We still see a lot of people taketime to honor those who died serving

    our country.

    But we also can’t help but think that

    lumping Memorial Day into a three-

    day weekend has diminished the

    meaning of the day – at least some-

    what. There are too many distractions.

    How many of us have made Memorial

    Day weekend plans that have absolute-

    ly nothing to do with honoring the

    meaning of the day?Memorial Day should be special. It

    should be a time when every Ameri-

    can reflects on the sacrifices made on

    his or her behalf and takes the time to

    pay proper respect. Nothing should

    distract from those sentiments.

    Will the three-day weekend be re-

    placed with a move back to May 30?

    Doubtful. It’s going to be up to each in-

    dividual to cut through the clutter and

    honor those who made the ultimate

    sacrifice.

    in our opinion

    Memorial DayThree-day weekend or a return to a traditional day of remembrance?

    Holiday weekend distractions

    Memorial Day shouldn’t be about salesor heading to the beach. It should beabout honoring those who died servingthis country. How do you reflect onMemorial Day?

    The Sun is proud to announce SPJ award winnersBy TIM RONALDSON Executive Editor 

    In my 11 years with Elauwit Media,never have I been prouder of the workwe’ve done than last week, when we re-ceived word that we had won six awards inthe New Jersey chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists’ annual awards.

    The tireless work we put in to betteringourselves as professionals and providingyou with the most local news you can find – at the highest quality – is all worth it whenwe receive praise like we did last week.

    Our team consisting of Kristen Dowd,our managing editor, along with our asso-

    ciate editors Erica Chayes Wida, BrigitBauma, Zane Clark and Mike Monostra areall to be commended – whether they werenamed as award winners or not – for it isthe teamwork they display that allows us tocover your town as we do.

    Erica won first place in the SPJ’s “Wil-son Barto Rookie of the Year” category.

    This marks the second year in a row thatone of our employees has received thishonor, after Zane won the title last year.Sean Lajoie, who has moved on to a new po-sition with a different company, won sec-ond place behind Erica for Rookie of theYear.

    Mike captured our other first-place title,in the Sports Reporting category for astory on the Moorestown High School girls’lacrosse team.

    Mike also took home a second-place fin-ish in the Photojournalism Sports catego-ry for a set of photos he took of the

    Shawnee High School girls soccer teamwinning South Jersey Group IV, and athird-place finish in the Feature Reportingcategory for a story on Mt. Laurel’s Eric“Ebo” Eberling, who passed away in 2013at the age of 17 from cancer.

    Our final award this year went to Ericaagain. She won second place in the Photo-

     journalism Feature category for shots shetook at the Princeton Rec Department’s an-nual Cardboard Canoe Race.

    To view the full stories and photos thatwon the awards, please visit our website,www.elauwitmedia.com/news.

    Every day, I am proud of the work ouremployees do to help further our missionof providing the best local news to the resi-dents of every town we cover.

    But I would be remiss if I didn’t give aheartfelt “thank you” to everyone in thecommunity who helps us reach that goalby being our partners – by answering the

    phone when we have questions, by reach-ing out to us when you have a news tip.Without that cooperation and interest inyour “town newspaper,” The Sun wouldn’tbe what it is today! Congratulations againto all our award winners!

    At the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year, the Lenape Re-gional High School District imple-mented what SuperintendentCarol Birnbohm described as one

    of the biggest changes the districthad ever seen outside of new con-struction – a new bell schedule.

    The former 42-minute-longclass periods grew to 57 minutes.Days once broken into 13 periodswere reduced to six, and lunchwas drastically redesigned tocombine what was five lunch pe-riods into one common “commu-nity lunch and learn” period inthe middle of the day.

    Students now only attend eachof their classes three times with-in a four-day rotation, meetingwith different classes at differenttimes depending on what day it iswithin the rotation.

    At the most recent meeting of LRHSD Board of Education,

    Birnbohm updated the board andparents on how the district’snearly 7,000 students and 1,100staff members were handling thechange.

    According to Birnbohm, theproposed benefits of the schedulehave been playing out very closeto the district’s projections, withincreases and improvements to

    LRHSD reaps benefitsof new bell scheduleSuperintendent Carol Birnbohm saysnew schedule is increasing instructional

     time, decreasing lateness and absences

    “The bands are going to dooriginal songs and cover songs,”Kay said. “The day starts out a lit-tle slower with softer music, andas it gets going, it’s a little morerock and roll.”

    The fun doesn’t stop with themusic. The beer garden, spon-sored by Victory Brewing Compa-ny, has a $5 admission that in-cludes a drink. Willingboro Vet-erinary Clinic is bringing exoticreptiles. HousePaws is offering$20 microchipping. Farm animalswill be in attendance as well with

    Last year, an alpaca and mini

    pigs came out, and Kay hopesthey come back, too.

    "We’re adding as many re-sources as we can every year,”Kay said. “The hospitals are greatsupporters and they’re also greateducators. Loving Misfits isbringing its dog collars and do-nating all profits of the day to ourmedical fund.”

    There’s face painting for thehuman kids and – so furry kidsaren’t left out – Posh Pets will beoffering natural and safe dogstenciling for those canines thatdesire a temporary heart orclover on their side. Indian AcresPark is packed with five play-

    “It’s fun and awareness,” Kaysaid of Rock 4 Paws. “A lot of res-

    cues get fosters out of the day,adoptions and even volunteers.It’s a great way to get that com-munity connection.”

    While attendees are all incredi-bly generous with donations, Kaysaid the majority of Rock 4 Pawsfundraising comes from its spon-sors. She hopes to see the spon-sorship grow with local compa-nies wanting to support local res-cues.

    “We really want to thank allour sponsors and everyone whogets involved every year and sup-ports us for making this event asuccess,” Kay said. “I’m verythankful.”

    PEASANT PRICES.Next council meeting is June 8

    an additional election … and thatthe vote will end in a defeat of thebudget because no one wants anincrease in their taxes … thatwould create a downward spiralof all the things our school hasworked (on),” Jessica Siragusasaid.

    “What you are contemplatingfosters a divided community …most significantly giving your-selves the authority over a defeat-ed school budget puts you in theposition of making decisions thatyou admittedly have limitedknowledge or experience, deci-sions that impact our children,overall quality of our schools andthe value of my home and thehome of everyone in our commu-nity … Do you recall what hap-pened in past years when towncouncil had to make a decision ona defeated budget? Those councilmembers found themselves in adilemma in which they realized

    they would lose no matter whatthey decided … indeed they didlose, they were shortly voted outof office,” Jeff Reuter said.

    Resident William Love saidcouncil should take the increasein taxes issue up with Trentonwhere the real problem is. Ac-cording to Love, the average stateaid in Medford used to be 45 per-cent, but now covers only about10 percent of the budget. He alsofelt it wasn’t fair for the schoolbudget to be approved in a vote,when the municipal budget didn’tgo to a vote.

    “(Councilman Chris Buoni)should be fighting for our fairshare and supporting theschools,” Love said.

    Township AdministratorKathy Burger said a separateelection could cost around $30,000based on past referendums. Forthe November elections, town-

    ships do not have to pay, thoughthey do have to pay around$12,000 for the primary election.

    Buoni said New Jersey school

    taxes are the highest in the coun-try and he feels that is a problem.He also felt that because schooldistricts are allowed to increaseto 2 percent, they haven’t tried tocontinue the programs they havewithout increasing the budget.

    “It’s amazing what people cando with less when they know theydon’t have anymore access tomore … we’re not thinking and(innovating),” Buoni said.

    Additionally, he said thingsdon’t need to be cut, but believesthe people should have a say.

    Buoni added that he lookedinto having the municipal budg-ets approved by the taxpayers, ashe would “happily have voters ap-prove the budget,” however hewas told that was not possible.

    Council approved a specialcouncil meeting on June 1 at 7:30p.m. at the Public Safety Buildingwith the purpose to consider aresolution to move the schoolboard elections from November

    to April.In other news:• An ordinance on first reading

    was unanimously approved forthe conveyance of the Centennialbeach to the Centennial PinesClub, the Centennial Lake Home-owners Association in theamount of $943.31. This is for thelien amount owed at $193.31 aswell as the redemption fee of $750.The second reading and public

    hearing would be at the next reg-ular meeting.

    • Resolutions of note approvedthat night include: authorizing an

    agreement with the county forpedestrian beacons at the inter-section of Main Street and AllenAvenue, Stokes Road and Hamp-shire Way, and Taunton Boule-vard and Locust Road; accepting$180,000 from the county underthe Municipal Park DevelopmentGrant Program to reconstruct thebasketball courts in FreedomPark and Bob Meyer Park; andauthorizing an agreement be-tween the township and MedfordBusiness Association and Med-ford Celebrates Foundation to re-imburse the township for certainservices for the Art, Wine &Music Festival and IndependenceDay Celebration, due to budget-ary constraints.

    instructional time, staff collabo-ration and overall efficiency.Birnbohm said the district hasobserved a reduction in latenessand an improvement to overalldaily attendance.

    Birnbohm said those trendsmight be attributable to the elimi-nation of homeroom at the begin-ning of the day, meaning studentsare in their first class as soon asthe school day begins, and withstudents not meeting for each of their classes every day of theweek, Birnbohm said there mightbe more of a drive to attendschool regularly.

    Birnbohm said overall disrup-tions to classes have also de-creased – a trend she saidstemmed from the longer periodfor community lunch and learnin the middle of the school day.

    “Kids have that time in themiddle of the day to go on the er-

    rands they need or maybe sched-ule meetings with their coun-selors or so forth and theyweren’t getting out of class to dothat,” Birnbohm said.

    With the community lunch andlearn period, Birnbohm said stu-dents also have more time tospend with friends, study andmake up work for classes.

    Birnbohm said students werealso taking fewer study halls andinstead using their extra time totake more lab sciences, and withthe longer community lunch andlearn period, there has been agreater interaction among staff members, students and adminis-trators as more people are free atthe same time.

    “It shows a big community incommunity lunch and learn, andI don’t want to lose that word … Idon’t like when people just call it‘lunch and learn’ and I keep oncorrecting them and say ‘no, it’scommunity lunch and learn.’ It’simportant to remember that,”Birnbohm said.

    According to Birnbohm, teach-

    ers have also been reporting moreefficient prep time that has beenused to re-craft former lessons, aswith the longer class periods,teachers can no longer simply lec-

    ture for the entire session.Birnbohm said those lessons

    have included more student activ-ity, increased discussion andmore group work.

    Birnbohm said teachers havealso praised the schedule, as it al-lows teachers of different depart-ments to meet with their depart-ment colleagues during a periodfor two days out of every four-dayrotation. During those periods,Birnbohm said teachers also havemore time to collaborate and dis-cuss lessons.

    “They’re all great professionaltasks that we never really madetime for our teachers to do duringthe instructional day, and it’s real-ly nice to see our teachers usingthis time for collaboration,” Birn-bohm said.

    Birnbohm said the number of disciplinary infractions has alsobeen greatly reduced.
