Police department launchesnew website. PAGE 2

By L. HABERThe Sun

Residents of Voorhees havesomething to celebrate. The newowners of the Coliseum have de-cided to preserve it and modern-ize the facility, instead of demol-ishing it.

Omar Wellington, an ownerand spokesperson for the new fa-cility, has indicated that he plansto seek planning board approvalfor the finishing stages of the re-development project on March 12,renaming it the Nexxt Level Col-iseum a long the way.

The Coliseum, located at 333Preston Road, is currently beingpartially used as Nexxt LevelSport Facility. The building itself has a storied past. The Coliseumwas built in 1968 on land pur-chased from Abbott Dairy.

The facility was the practicearena for the Philadelphia Fly-ers, used at one time by such Fly-ers greats such as Bobby Clarke,Bernie Parent and Bill Barberduring the fabled 1970s Broad-

street Bullies era.After those famed years inlocal hockey history, further de-velopment to the building andproperty had fallen on hardtimes, after switching fromowner to owner.

Wellington and his crew atNexxt Level Sports purchased theproperty with a distinct vision in L. HABER/The Sun

In the partially restored Voorhees Coliseum, Nexxt Level Sports recently installed a yoga studio. The studio is open to the public seven daysa week. Nexxt Level has big plans to restore the rest of the building, throughout 2014.

Policedepartment

launchesnew websiteBy L. HABER

The Sun

The Voorhees Township PoliceDepartment recently launched anew website at www.vtpd.com.

The new website is muchmore user-friendly, with addition-al content and expanded links.

Users are able to view a list of allmembers of the department, in-cluding ranks and badge num-bers of members, MayorMichael Mignogna said.

The cost to build the websitewas $3,200. This money was ap-propriated from regular Voorheesmunicipal taxes.

Weve always updated it, butthe chief now wanted to upgradethe website. It was on his to-dolist, said Voorhees Township ad-ministrator Lawrence Spellman.

Township officials hired a com-pany to assist with making thenew site. Peachtree Consultingwas the company used to createthe township website, but was notthe right fit for the police depart-ment site. Rank Me SEO was cho-sen as the developer and manage-ment source of the police depart-ment web site.

They spent a lot of time on it... what do you put on the page tomake it stand out? Its actually

very difficult, Spellman said.Speaking about the originatorof the idea to create a new site,deputy chief of police and publicinformation officer to the depart-ment, Bill Donnelly, I think hewas looking for a place for easyresident feedback, Spellmansaid.

Its rather fluid now, but Ihope to really go from here andhave the website grow into some-thing special for residents and thetownship, Donnelly said.

Donnelly also commented onunique website features for resi-dents, including the ability to sub-mit online crime tips, as opposed

to crime tips via phone only.It truly is anonymous, Don-

nelly emphasized.The tip link was placed at the

bottom left of the homepage, andon the left-hand side of all linked

pages.Other upgrades to the site in-

clude pictures, for official use,such as patrol cars and officers.

There is a Kids Corner onthe site, which was designed toallow children to browse safetyand crime topics in a responsible,supervised manner. Historical in-formation about the police de-partment connecting with young

residents of Voorhees is also list-ed. Topics in that category in-clude the Adopt A Cop program,among others.

Lieutenants will rotate manag-ing the site and its content. Formore information about the siteor development of the site,please view the site, or call the po-lice administrative offices at 627-5858.

mind, not only to restore theproperty, but to preserve some of the original Flyers facilities.

When we came here, it was anightmare. We fixed it up,Wellington said.

The Coliseum has served the

township for many years, offer-ing multiple sports and trainingareas, and travel sports teamsunder the direction of Welling-ton.

In 2008, the Philadelphia Soulmade part of the 100,000 squarefoot facility its practice and train-ing facility, which complementsNexxt Level Sports health and fit-ness facili ties to th is day.

After the Soul moved in, theseminal moment for Wellingtoncame in 2012, when the family-run business reached a point of whether they should remain orleave the Coliseum.

Our business was growing. Itwas a year and a half process topurchase the Coliseum ... werenot some largely funded outfit,but it was all worth it, Welling-ton said.

One of the main concernsWellington and his family hadwas the poor condition of thepool at the facility. Naturally,

phase one of the redevelopmentis to create the Nexxt LevelAquatic Center, and is part of theapproval the owners are seekingfrom the township.

Wellington is proud of the factthat local businesses are beingtapped to assist in the project,some of which also hold facilitiesin Voorhees.

All of our engineers, archi-tects, etc., are South Jersey-based... most of them actually trainwith our company, Wellingtonsaid.

The potential economic benefitto Voorhees comes with no gov-ernmental expense. The entireproject will be privately ownedand funded. Overall, the project

has the potential to take a largelyobsolete building and convert itinto a new revenue stream for thetownship, he said.

Wellington appreciated thefact that government officialsalso see the potential in this proj-ect.

They have been very, verysupportive, he said. We sharedour visionsespecially with theaquatic facilitys pool. It will beone of the largest in Southern

New Jersey, with 10 swimminglanes. The area needs it.The facility will not be limited

to swimming. Wellingtons visionincludes more space for one of their most popular trainingsports, basketball, in addition toother sports.

The facelift will have fieldhockey, wrestling ... its multifac-eted, Wellington said.

Because Wellington owns theColiseum, he has funded itwith business loans, and believesa proposed restaurant andcaf, will be the heartbeat of thefacility, in addition to observa-tion decks where parents, fami-lies and friends of athletes will

be able to watch training ses-sions.

The Nexxt Level Coliseum isseeking to become fully opera-tional as soon as possible, withthe aquatic center opening some-time after Se ptember.

It is anticipated that thepublic will have access to the fa-cility where it can be enjoyed bythe entire community, though nodaily schedule has been createdyet.

We dont have an open houseor anything, but we will,Wellington continued. Commu-nity outreach will be a major partof this. Its not like a gym whereyou go and do your own thing. Itspersonal.

A new yoga studio opened acouple months ago, and is thenewest addition to the property.In time, the rest of the trainingcenters will accompany the newstudio.

This will be a state-of-the-arttraining facility, which will in-clude speed, strength, adult fit-ness, personal training andgroup activities, Wellingtonsaid.

ver since the school shootingin Newtown, Conn., in Decem-ber 2012, school districts across

the country have done their best to im-prove school security.

Some have hired armed guards tostand watch in school buildings. Somehave improved security systems, lock-ing all exterior doors and filtering visi-tors through one main entrance. Somehave installed metal detectors andother screening devices. Some havedone all this, and more.

New Jersey officials recognize theneed for increased school security, andthey want to do something about it

or, at least, they want to study what todo about it.

The state Senate and Assembly re-cently established a School SecurityTask Force that will ultimately giverecommendations on how to improveschool security and safety. The groupwill also make recommendations onbuilding security and assessment

standards for current school buildingsand new ones to come.

Some of the areas of focus they willstudy:

Placing screening systems atschool entrances

Using biometric, retina or otheradvanced recognition

Stationing police officers in each

school building Requiring advanced student and

visitor identificationConducting an official study on

school security with a panel of indus-try experts is a tremendous, and longoverdue, idea. Just like with studenttesting and budgeting requirements,its a good idea to have a standardized

system for security at schools through-out New Jersey.

But this begs the question: How willwe pay for whatever this task forcerecommends?

Lets say, for example, the task forcerecommends a biometric, retina orother advanced recognition systemfor visitors entering school buildings,and our state government then passesthat bill. How are our already-cash-strapped school districts going to payfor what sounds like an expensive sys-tem?

Studying school security on astatewide level is a great first step.

Making recommendations on how toimprove security is a natural secondstep. But a necessary third step mustbe how any required security en-hancements will be paid for, and bywhom. In an age when schools are hav-ing trouble paying for teachers, itshard to imagine biometrics being easyto fit into the budget.

Tighter scho ol securitySafer is always be tter, b ut whos going to pay for it?Your thoughts

Do our schools need tighter security?Should state government play a role intelling school districts what they must doin regard to school security? Share yourthoughts through a letter to the editor.
