Eastern basketball a family affair for Fendrick cousins

Emily and Molly Fendrick are both in their second year as captains for Eastern girls basketball
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
If you have attended an Eastern Vikings sporting event over
the past few years, theres a decent chance you have seen a
Fendrick in action.
There was Leah Fendrick, a
class of 2014 graduate, who
played on Easterns girls soccer
team. Justin Fendrick, a class of
2015 graduate, was a key piece for
Eastern
boys
basketball.
Michaela Fendrick completed her
senior season for Eastern girls
tennis this past fall, playing second singles for most of the year.
Then there are cousins Emily
and Molly Fendrick, four-year
varsity players for Eastern girls
basketball. The two have been
captains and key cogs for the
Vikings the last two seasons.
After playing on the same basketball team for more than a
decade, the two are playing their
final senior season together in
2015-16 and are determined to
make it one to remember.
Emily and Molly followed almost identical paths to Eastern.
Both have played the sport since
they were about 6 years old and
have played together on the same
team at a variety of levels.
Down the Shore, we played a
lot, Molly said.
At the JCC, we played there,

MIKE MONOSTRA/The Sun

Cousins Molly and Emily Fendrick are competing in their senior seasons for Eastern girls basketball this
year. The two have played on the same team since they were 6 years old.
Emily said. Our dads always
coached together. We played travel, we played middle school, we
played high school.
Emily and Molly are just two in
a line of Fendricks to attend Eastern. Emily followed her older siblings, Jess and Justin. Molly is

the younger sister of Leah and

has a younger brother, Isaac, who
is a freshman. Both are cousins of
two other Eastern attendees with
the same last name, Olivia and
Michaela.
Both Emily and Molly made
the Eastern varsity team as fresh-

men. After playing sparingly during their freshman seasons, the

pair began to make a real impact
during the 2013-14 season.
It was very different, Emily
said about the adjustment to the
varsity level. We went from playing middle school to varsity in

high school. They were a lot

quicker, a lot stronger and a lot
mentally tougher. It was a big adjustment, but after a few games,
you get into the flow of things.
Its hard to miss Emily and
Molly when they are on the court.
Emily plays shooting guard and
has led the Vikings in three-point
shooting the past three years,
while Molly plays both guard and
forward and has the ability to
play on the perimeter and inside.
Both feel they play their best
when they are on the court together.
I know that she has basketball
knowledge, and I trust her that if
I give her the ball, shell do something with it, Emily said. Its a
level of trust from playing over a
number of years.
I know what her strengths are
and she knows what my strengths
are, Molly said.
There is little animosity between the two. Emily said both
have an appreciation for each
other and how talented their
cousin is on the court. Molly said
they sometimes get frustrated at
each other during a game, but
any hard feelings are forgotten
after the final buzzer.
Sometimes in the heat of the
game, we get frustrated, Molly
said. Its never that were mad

Voorhees homes part

of burglary stint totaling more
than $2 million in stolen goods
Medford man pleads guilty to theft and burglary
Burlington County Prosecutor
Robert D. Bernardi announced
that a Medford Township man
pleaded guilty in superior court
to 24 counts of theft and burglary
that were committed in six towns
over a 10-month period that ended
in August 2012.
The man admitted before the
Hon. Charles A. Delehey, J.S.C. to
committing three counts of theft
(second-degree) and 21 counts of
burglary (third-degree).
The plea follows a three-week
trial last month that concluded
with him being found guilty of
one count of theft (second-degree)
and three counts of burglary
(third-degree). Those charges
were unrelated to the ones to
which he pleaded guilty on Jan.
12.
Delehey will sentence him on
March 3 on the charges resulting
from the trial as well as the 24 offenses to which he has pleaded
guilty.
Under the plea agreement, the
sentence for the thefts and burglaries he admitted to in court on

Jan. 12 will be decided by Delehey

in what is known as an open plea.
The thefts netted more than $2
million in stolen goods from residences in Evesham, Medford
Township,
Moorestown
and
Mount Laurel in Burlington
County and Haddonfield and
Voorhees in Camden County.
Most of the homes were in upscale neighborhoods, near a golf
course or wooded lot with minimal views, and were secluded
from neighboring properties.
At the targeted homes, phone
and alarm wires were cut, and
entry was often made by smashing a rear sliding door. The defendants would use a police radio to
monitor emergency communications. The burglaries were committed while the residents were
not at home.
Items stolen included jewelry,
watches, furs, coins, crystal, silverware, handbags, firearms,
camera equipment and other
electronics.

School budget talks are about to begin

chool budgets are on the horizon
statewide. There once was a
time when residents had a direct way to give their input to the
budget, by voting yay or nay for
its passage. That opportunity has, for
the most part, been removed in our
state, but it doesnt mean you cant,
and shouldnt, be involved in the
process.
The toughest job in New Jersey
right now? School board member has
to be at or near the top of the list.
Whether you support Gov. Christies
approach to budgeting, school board
members have had a tough time dealing with a reduction in state aid over
the last few years.
The vast majority of board members dont want to raise taxes and/or

cut services. But, sometimes, there is

no other option.
Across the state, almost all school
districts will be doing less with less.
But did your board cut enough from
the budget? Too much? Do you agree
with the tax rate? Do you think it
should have been higher to provide
more services? What are your ideas
for cutting expenses and raising revenues?
Whatever the budget situation
proves to be this year, what needs to

make things better?

We invite you to write letters to the
editor to share your thoughts with the
rest of the community. If you support
the budget, if you oppose it, if you
have ideas that could bring additional
revenue into your school district or
help to cut costs, now is the time to
share them.
Between now and when the school
budget is passed, be involved as much
as you can. Attend school board meetings and express your thoughts. Public
school taxes account for the largest
percentage of your tax bill, after all.
Youll be sending a message to your
board of education regarding what
you would like to see take place in future years years that promise to be
difficult yet again.

Celebrate life, work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This week, we celebrate the life of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. and honor the
memory of this civil rights pioneer who
dared to dream.
Dr. King followed the non-violent protest
philosophies of Gandhi and constantly reminded his followers that their fight for
equality would be victorious if they did
not resort to bloodshed. Between 1957 and
1968, Dr. King traveled more than 6 million
miles and gave more than 2,500 speeches,
while writing five books in support of civil
rights and equality for all Americans.
On Aug. 23, 1963, more than 250,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C., where
Dr. King led a peaceful march to the Capitol
Building to support the passing of laws
that guaranteed every American equal
civil rights. It was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial that Dr. King delivered his
legendary speech later entitled I Have a
Dream.
During his crusade, Dr. King was awarded five honorary degrees and named Man

of the Year by
Time Magazine
in 1963. At the age
of 35, he became
the youngest man
to receive the Nobel
Peace Prize and donated his award of
$54,123 to the civil
rights movement.
On the evening of
April 4, 1968, while
standing on the balcony of his motel
room in Memphis,
Michael
Tenn., this man of
Mignogna
peace was violently assassinated.
MAYORS MESSAGE
Through
the
1980s, controversy
surrounded the idea of a Martin Luther
King Day. While many petitioned the president to make Jan. 15 a federal legal holiday,
others still opposed the idea. Finally, in

1986, President Ronald Reagan declared the

third Monday in January a federal legal
holiday, commemorating Dr. Martin
Luther Kings birthday.
I have a dream that one day this nation
will rise up and live out the true meaning
of its creed: We hold these truths to be selfevident; that all men are created equal. I
have a dream that my four children will
one day live in a nation where they will not
be judged by the color of their skin but the
content of their character
Every year, the Camden County freeholders award Freedom Medals to residents who live by Dr. Kings words. They
are recognized for contributing to the betterment of their community through their
unselfish dedication of time and talent. We
are proud that this year Deputy Mayor
Jason Ravitz and Committeewoman
Michelle Nocito are recipients of Freedom
Medals.
We should all strive to live Dr. Kings
dream!

AAA Voorhees
helps service
members stay
in touch
AAA South Jersey and nonprofit Cell Phones For Soldiers
have announced that AAA South
Jersey members and the South
Jersey community, including the
AAA Voorhees office, helped
United States service men and
women stay in touch with their
families by donating more than 90
pounds of gently-used cellular
phones.
Although the military landscape is ever-changing, as many
as 200,000 troops are serving in
the United States military overseas around the world. By donating to Cell Phones For Soldiers,
AAA South Jersey members
helped provide a lifeline for
Americas bravest.
Cell Phones For Soldiers was
founded in 2004 by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist at the
ages of 12 and 13. The charity has
since provided more than 220 million minutes of free talk time to
servicemen and women stationed
around the world through its calling card program, Minutes That
Matter. Funds raised from the recycling of cellular phones are
used to purchase prepaid international calling cards. On average,
Cell Phones For Soldiers distributes 1,500 calling cards each week
to bases around the world, care
package programs, deployment
ceremonies and VA hospitals.
For every donated phone valued at $5, Cell Phones For Soldiers is able to provide two and a
half hours of free talk time to deployed troops. Since 2004, more
than 11.7 million phones have
been recycled or repurposed. Approximately half of the phones
processed are reconditioned and
reused. Phones and components
that cannot be refurbished are
dismantled and responsibly recycled to reclaim materials, including: gold, silver and platinum
from circuit boards, copper
wiring from phone chargers,
nickel, iron, cadmium and lead
from battery packs. For more information, visit www.aaa.com or

DNA from convicted

man found on flashlight
Once the similarities in the
burglaries were discovered, a
task force was formed consisting
of law enforcement agencies from
the affected towns, as well as the
Camden County Prosecutors Office.
A break in the case came after
DNA from the convicted man was
found on a flashlight left behind
during one of the Moorestown
burglaries. From there, the investigation shifted to the analysis of

more than 9,000 phone calls and

text messages, as well as surveillance.
Many of the items were
pawned. Even so, more than 500
stolen items were recovered.
Some of them were buried in the
convicted mans yard and others
were hidden in an abandoned
building in Philadelphia.
The man was arrested on Sept.
5, 2012, along with another Medford man. The second convicted
man pled guilty on May 20, 2015,
to two counts of burglary in exchange for five years of probation
and 364 days in the Burlington
County Jail.

Cousins have leadership role

with Easterns young team
COUSINS
Continued from page 1
with each other after the game,
its just that we both want to
win.
The Fendricks career at Eastern has been tough at times. In
their first season as captains in
2014-15, the team struggled, losing
its first 22 games. The Vikings did
put together a three-game winning streak late in the year to finish the season 3-23.
This season, things have gone a
little bit smoother. The Vikings
have already matched their win
total from last year and won their
preliminary round game in the
South Jersey Invitational Basketball
Tournament,
defeating
Collingswood, 46-29, on Jan. 9. For
the second straight year, Emily is
leading the Vikings in scoring,
while Molly has stepped up on offense since the New Year, leading
Eastern in scoring with a teamleading 12 points against Washington Township on Jan. 5 and
nine points against Cherokee on
Jan. 12.
We didnt lose anyone from
last year and we gained freshmen, Emily said. We have some
great freshmen, but they are still
freshmen. So while they helped
us, I kind of expected things to be
going the way that they are.
Easterns young core has
meant Emily and Mollys leader-

ship roles have been equally as
important as their play on the
court.
We know that its our job to
help them on and off the court
with anything we can, Emily
said. We have a young team, so
its really important for the
younger players to look up to us.
For now, Emily and Molly are
looking forward to enjoying the
second half of their final season
and making a trip back to the

playoffs after missing the postseason in 2014-15. Neither plans to

play basketball in college. Emily
will be attending Penn State,
while Molly is still considering a
number of schools.
Its not out of the question
Emily and Molly will both go to
the same school. Molly said Penn
State is in the running as one of

JAN. 2026, 2016 THE VOORHEES SUN 15

Video has been played on news websites,

radio stations and on national media
VIDEO
Continued from page 2
Friends have created a music
video invitation for Mars in
which members of the group perform to the beat of Mars hit song
Uptown Funk, albeit with their
own rewritten lyrics inviting
Mars to the event.
Lines such as if you sexy then
flaunt it become if you fantastic then flaunt it and Uptown
Funk you up, Uptown Funk you
up become We said will you
come to prom? Will you come to
prom?
Hacker and her autistic twin
brother Matthew also feature
prominently in the video as they
dance and sing along with other
members of the group while
wearing suits, sunglasses and
hats similar to what Mars wore in
the original Uptown Funk
music video.
Hacker
started
Fantastic
Friends when she found Matthew
crying one day at age 15 because
he said he didnt have any friends
of his own.
According to Hacker, the idea
to invite Mars to play their prom
just came to her one day last year
when she was trying to drum up
themes for this years event and
she suddenly had a vision of
Mars and Fantastic Friends members singing Uptown Funk.

We thought of ways to contact

him, and rather than just contacting him and asking him to perform, we thought wed do something that would impress him and
ask him in way that was creative, Hacker said.
That creativity involved writing new lyrics to Uptown Funk
and getting Fantastic Friends
members together in John Connolly Park for a video shoot.
It was just the little things like
editing and making sure the kids
knew all the lyrics and dance
steps, and it was a long process,
Hacker said.
Despite the hard work, Hacker
said she and Fantastic Friends
had a blast creating the video, and
are having even more of a blast
promoting it to various news outlets and radio stations.
And promoting it they are.
Since releasing the music
video, Hacker and the video have
already appeared on numerous
news websites and radio stations
in the tri-state area, as well as
some national websites such as
Yahoo, MSN and USA Today.
We have an amazing feeling
about this video and everyone has
just been so kind and generous in
helping us, Hacker said.
Hacker asks anyone who wants
to help spread the video on social
media in the hopes that Mars notices it and decides to RSVP to the
prom.
Hes just such a caring, sweet,

passionate person, and we just

think if we had him at our prom,
that would be amazing and it
would help promote our mission
of loving people for who they are
and providing inclusion for people with special needs, Hacker
said.
The video can be found on
YouTube by searching Bruno
Mars: Your Invitation to Fantastic Friends Prom. Supporters
can also help by using the hashtag #BrunoMarsProm2016 on
Twitter.
As in previous years, this
years Fantastic Friends prom is
scheduled for June.
Those who wish to help the
group outside of getting Mars to
play the prom can donate to the
event or become a sponsor by
reaching out to Fantastic Friends
on
