For the average middle schoolstudent, the biggest news they arefaced with each day is usuallywhat the cafeteria will be offeringas dessert options.
However, for Harrington Mid-dle School eighth grader CarterTaylor, things are a little differ-ent.
Carter’s parents were given thenews that he had sickle cell ane-mia when he was 4 weeks old andwould be spending more time atthe Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia than any childshould.
He had every opportunity to bescared or feel sorry for himself,but instead he has decided to usehis experience as an opportunityto help others in similar situa-tions.
While going through his confir-mation year at church and apply-ing to the New Jersey NationalJunior Honor Society, he was in-troduced to community service.
“I wanted to get involved insomething that was special to me,so I thought to myself, what is im-portant to me?” Carter said.
He immediately thought backto what he missed most the lasttime he was in the hospital.
“Science,” he said.Not cartoons. Not toys. He
chose a subject he was forced tolearn in school.
“It was the worst. I missed aweek of experiments in science

We are all well versed on thedistracted driving laws thathave been created across the
country over the last few years. Thelaw makes it illegal to use a phonewhile 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 beingcaused by people who were texting,talking, browsing or Snapchattingwhile driving.
It is a law that has garnered a lot of PR attention as well. Campaigns suchas “U Drive. U Text. U Pay.” have
popped up to warn of the dangers of distracted driving. Youth groups havealso taken up the cause to educatetheir peers on why distracted driving
can be very dangerous.Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt
wants to take this one step further. Shehas proposed a “distracted walking”bill that could fine offenders up to $50,put them in jail for up to 15 days, orboth.
Lampitt says distracted pedestriansare as much a danger to motorists as
jaywalkers, which is why she proposessimilar penalties for the offense.
We applaud the aim behind this pro-posal – to keep pedestrians and mo-
torists safe. But we question whetherwe really need a law in place to do so.
Other states have attempted to passsimilar laws to Lampitt’s proposal.None have succeeded thus far, butmore 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 policeofficers be able to effectively enforcethe law? We aren’t so sure.
We believe that, instead of passing alaw forbiding the practice, distracted
walking should become a part of dis-tracted driving education. We don’tneed a law and prison time to savepedestrians; we need information.
in our opinion
Stop walking and put down the phone!‘Distracted Walking Bill’ is being p roposed; yes, this is real

By BRIGIT BAUMAThe Sun
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 tenderloving 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 personali ty,”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 pinscherthat 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 SunBrian 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.
The ins and outs of adoption from experienceBrian and Barbara Agnew have learned along the way in their adoptions of five shelter dogs

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 havethe 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 adoptingthis 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

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 interactwith 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 doand 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

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 potentialadopters, 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, sothe 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 itemsneeded 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 hisfriskiness 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 petmight 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 needto 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 solvingand 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.”

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, welook 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.

came all the way through. I have agood relationship with them andthey are really great kids.”
“We know each other prettywell,” senior Kristine Reithmeiersaid. “It wasn’t a new thing hav-ing him come in as coach.”
Krastek has made a number of changes in his first year as headcoach. One change was to havethe junior varsity and varsityteams practice together. Krastekis putting an emphasis on build-ing a multi-year program and notisolating each of the different lev-els.
“We’re really trying to stressthat it’s a fluid program thisyear,” he said. “We’re having theJV and varsity practicing togeth-er here every day. There’s dayswhere we’re having all three lev-els practicing together. It helps usas coaches to see who’s develop-ing, who’s playing well, who’snot.”
“It’s kind of like a farm systemlike baseball,” senior Serena Lamsaid. “We want to keep everyoneup to speed. We want everyone toplay at the same level so it’s easier
to transition when people getolder.”
“Everyone gets a fair shot,” Re-ithmeier added.
Chow said team chemistry hasimproved a lot over the past fewyears.
“In the past, I wouldn’t say wehad the best team chemistry,” shesaid. “But I think we’re improv-ing on that a lot.”
Improving every day has beena big focus for Krastek. He haskept practices moving at a fastpace, with every player gettingmany repetitions in all facets of the game.
“We’re going to do everything alittle bit better,” Krastek said.“Even if you think you’re doingthings great, there’s always roomto improve. There’s always roomto get better.”
Doing things a little bit betterwill be a focus for Krastek as acoach as well. He admits there area number of differences betweencoaching at the freshman leveland coaching at the varsity level.
“It’s a lot quicker,” Krasteksaid. “Things happen so fast. I’m
certainly learning on the go here.It’s going to be a process for all of us.”
Krastek added he expectsLenape to improve greatly on last
year’s 6-12 record. He noted theprogram’s JV and freshmanteams have played well in thepast. Krastek hopes a mix of ex-
perienced players and someyoung standouts will gel for a suc-cessful season.
“It’s a different animal uphere,” he admitted. “It’s a big
jump from having success at thefreshman level and trying to goup and have it translate.”
“They’ve been working hard,”he added. “We’re excited to getstarted.”

class,” Carter said. “So now I tryto make their pain go away dur-ing their trips to the hospital withexperiments.”
With the help of his parentsand brother, it wasn’t long beforehis idea came to fruition andCarter had started a nonprofit or-ganization now known as Sciencefor Sick Dayz.
The mission of the group is tocreate and distribute a variety of simple and fun science experi-ments for children to do whenhospitalized or sick and unable toattend school.
It has put together five or sixexperiments that are even acces-sible for kids who are not able toget out of bed.
Carter envisions a world inwhich every hospitalized child isable to engage with stimulatingand educational activities tobrighten their spirits and contin-ue their learning.
“The best part is knowing theyare not in as much pain as I waswhen they’re working on the ex-periments with me – it’s good to
know they are not feeling that. Itmakes me feel good,” Carter said.
He’s gearing up for the organi-zation’s second annual fundraiser
on April 9 to raise the financesneeded to buy the materials toconduct the experiments.
The event will be held at LaurelLanes from 6 to 8 p.m. whereguests will have the opportunityto enjoy bowling, pizza, soda,snacks, dessert and the opportu-nity to participate in a 50/50drawing and a basket auction.
During the first year of theevent, the organization was ableto gather more than 135 peopleand is looking to exceed that num-ber this year.
To buy tickets, call (609) 744-0104 or email [email protected].
As for Carter’s health, he isdoing very well. According to hismother, Keisha Taylor, he hasn’tbeen to the hospital for awhilewith the exception of his regularmonthly treatments.
“We are blessed,” she said. “Hegets great care in school and atCHOP, but it is something we cer-
tainly have to think about every-day – he takes medication everyday to feel good.”
“With medication, proper nu-
trition, exercise and rest, I ammaking strong progress,” Cartersaid.
Carter continues to do every-
thing he can to grow Science forSick Dayz and help as many kidsas possible with his science ex-periment kits. He has alreadyshared kits at CHOP in Voorhees,CHOP in Philadelphia and a fewother hospitals.
Carter makes the kits himself because he wants them done ex-actly the way he thinks theyshould be done.
“He’s built hundreds,” Taylorsaid. “He likes to build them be-cause it makes him feel healthyand well.”
Carter plans to continue learn-ing more and diving deeper intoscience as he gets older. When heis an adult, he wants to pursuescience as his career path.
But for now, he will continue toenjoy every moment of his child-hood and his eighth-grade year atHarrington Middle School.
“I feel excited for his future,”Taylor said.” I’m thankful that helistens to his inner thoughts –
sometimes they can get corruptedby outside influences – but he be-lieves he can make a difference,and that excites me.”
