Palmyra welcomes new code enforcement officer New resident Billingiere has 30 years of experience The Sun Frank Billingiere, a veteran of the construction trades, has been named code enforcement officer for Palmyra. “I’ve taken on, as my responsibility, the appearance of this little borough,” he said. While the job entails managing small-scale violations like overgrown weeds or unkept property, Billingiere said he prioritizes and takes seriously the responsibility of monitoring dilapidated structures that may be a safety risk. “There’s several different hats that this office wears,” he maintained. Residents and business owners can best help Billingiere in his new role by paying attention to the city’s regulation and maintaining their own properties, he said. Billingiere comes to Palmyra with more than 30 years of experience, having risen through the ranks from young carpenter to general contractor specializing in high-end renovations and interior trim. He enjoys conceptualizing projects and verbally communicating his vision to project teams. Billingiere, who attended art school in Philadelphia and San Francisco, also spent 15 years as a building inspector for the former, where he took on as many as 20 buildings a day as the city’s Fishtown neighborhood gentrified with new buildings and restaurants. He believes his contracting experience gives him a unique perspective on construction. While some inspectors may come into a role
without practical, on-site construction experience, Billingiere explained that’s only half the job. “If you don’t know anything about construction, it’s kind of hard to talk to somebody,” he explained, then referred to the digital currency form for transactions. “That’d be like me trying to talk to somebody well versed in Crypto.” The code enforcement officer said he hopes to work directly with homeowners, contractors, and business owners to resolve infractions. “I’m hoping in my job that I will be able to solve any of these issues without any court appointments or stuff like that,” he noted. Billingiere started in his new role at the end of March, and recently moved to Palmyra with his wife. As a resident, he said he understands that appearances can attract buyers to neighborhoods and businesses to main streets. “I don’t think it’s quite fair when you have certain people that take extreme care of property, and then three houses down, you have someone that just doesn’t care about anything,” he observed. In his free time, Billingiere and his wife enjoy watching their two granddaughters’ LIttle League games. He calls himself a voracious reader who loves music and playing guitar. As for the job, Billingiere made the following promise. “I’m here for the residents if they have issues,” he said. “I don’t turn any phone calls away and I don’t turn any emails away. And that’s what I’m getting paid to do.” To get in touch with Frank Billingiere, contact borough hall at (856) 829-6100.

Twenty-five fashion students at Rowan College at Burlington County showcased their designs at the college’s annual fashion show on May 4. “We thought we’d only have about 65 to 70 pieces, and then the next thing we know, we’re like, ‘Oh my God, we’re (like) at 78,’” said Lisa Steinberg, program coordinator of the Rowan fashion department. She described seeing her students bring their ideas to fruition. “It’s not so easy, because sometimes they come in (and) they’re like, ‘I know what I’m going to do,’ and I’m like, ‘That’s
good, but we (have) to get it out of your head and we (have) to get it on paper,’” Steinberg said. “ … When you see it on the runway, it’s like magic.” Fashion student Frankie Sanchez, who launched four pieces at the show, originally planned a collection focused on sensuality and explained the focus behind her sketches. “A lot of them, I never illustrated those types of fabrics before, like the snakeskin and the see-through sequins,” she said, “but once I see something and I’m committed, I have to do it.” Sanchez described the types of fabrics she works with. “It’s really what catches my please see FASHION, page 3

“I used to have to pack my clothes all day for the whole day, so versatility is where I’m coming from,” she said. “To be able to dress down and throw on signature pieces to dress up in case I don’t have time to go home.” McGill noted how she works through the creative process. “What has been my holdup is the fact that I don’t draw well,” she acknowledged. “Within me, I have all of these visions that I cannot put on paper and it’s, ‘No I’m not there.’ But Lisa (Steinberg) had me just do the best (I) can.” “ … I was able to get my vision across in what I wanted to do and I would like to hone in on that.” Fashion student Atillahan Ozturk, who had three pieces featured in the show, described his collection, what he called “Biomorphed.”

Admission to the festival is free and both nights will conclude at around 8 p.m. following a discussion period with the participating filmmakers. In addition to screening each of the films, the parks division will announce 11 award winners for best animated film, best documentary, best narrative and best “Parks” film, a special category for films about nature or the Burlington County Parks. Movies filmed in Burlington County parks were also eligible for this category. Several other submissions were awarded special Judges Choice honors. A panel of three professional filmmakers and educators
judged the films. The Burlington County Parks Division organized the new festival with support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. “With more than 1,000 acres of developed parkland and 50-miles plus of interconnecting hiking, biking and running trails and several fantastic museums and galleries, our Burlington County Parks System is clearly one of the best in the entire state and region, but what also sets us apart is the incredible events and programs our Parks staff help organize and run,” Eckel said. “Events like this film festival help enlighten and entertain residents of all ages and are a big part of why our county is such a great destination.

Hang up on scammers
130 Twinbridge Drive Pennsauken, NJ 08110 (856) 779-3800
How to avoid fraudulent phone calls
A
n elderly South Jersey woman recently got a phone call that shook her to the core. A person claiming to be her daughter said she had been arrested for causing a car accident and needed her mother to pay bail of more than $3,000. When the woman began to suspect the call was not legitimate and requested a phone number where she could reach her daughter, the caller hung up. It was a scam, one of thousands perpetrated every year by criminals to extract money from unsuspecting people, especially vulnerable senior citizens. In a world where communication keeps us plugged in 24/7, the scammer thrives. It may seem quaint with Facebook, Twitter and other means of connection available to us that the phone line is a preferred means of ripping someone off. But it is often a scammer’s favored method. Based on the results of a March 2021 survey, the security app maker Truecaller estimates some 59 million Americans lost money to a phone scam in the 12 months prior to the survey. Data from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission)
In YOUR opinion Let us know your thoughts by sending a letter to the editor to the email address at the right. shows the average financial loss from scams that start with a phone call is $1,200, more than any other form of contact. The AARP estimates half of all mobile calls are fraudulent, and the problem is getting worse. And while fraudulent landline calls have declined because of cell phones, they still serve the scammer’s purpose. Criminals are not above using COVID as a ploy either, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. A scammer may claim to be from the federal government so he or she can offer the victim pandemic-related grants or stimulus payments in exchange for personal financial information. Don’t buy it. Don’t buy these either: A caller asks you to claim a prize you’ve won by turning over gift card information. Or you are asked to pay in advance for a service
or product to help out a friend or colleague in need. People have lost their life savings in these scenarios. What can you do to stop a scammer? The FTC has advice on how to recognize what is fraud and what isn’t. If you are asked to pay money to get a sweepstakes prize, then it isn’t a prize. You can’t be arrested, as some callers threaten by pretending to be law-enforcement sources or representatives of federal agencies; neither of those would call and make threats. And legitimate government agencies – including the IRS and Social Security – will not make a phone call to confirm personal information. The FTC says the best way to avoid being scammed is to hang up before a robo caller asks you to press any numbers. If you don’t recognize a number, end the call. But be advised that scammers can make any name or number look like a real ID. Bottom line: If a call doesn’t have the ring of truth, it could be a fake. Learn to recognize and prevent phone scams by visiting the FTC website at ftc. gov/calls.
Burlington County farmer’s market ends a hit Crafters and artists sell their crops, artwork and goods The Burlington County Farmers Market’s record-setting season ended on a high note with unprecedented attendance at the first of the two holiday markets around the Thanksgiving holiday. The first holiday market on Nov. 20 set a new record with more than 2,000 vehicles counted at the event, surpassing the 1,449 counted during the July 17 market. The final Dec. 4 market drew in even more shoppers. “Word has spread about the amazing varieties of crafts, foods, and produce that’s available at our market and the relaxing fun of shopping outdoors at what remains a working farm,” said Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. “We’re thrilled by
the market’s popularity and the boost it’s providing to famers and small business owners.” The final holiday market was held at the Burlington County Agricultural Center on Centerton Road in Moorestown. A dozen farmers and 34 crafters and artists sold, artwork and goods and there were 21 food vendors and a holiday cookie decorating class at the Agricultural Center’s Farmhouse Kitchen. The Old Man Garage Band will also performed live music. “Fresh cut flowers, holiday wreaths, craft beer, gifts, decorations and incredible foods can all be found at the market. Shoppers can check off an entire holiday
list with one trip,” said Commissioner Linda Hynes. “It’s a family-friendly event that helps support our county’s farmers and small business vendors. It’s not to be missed.” Hynes, who is the Board’s liaison to the Department of Resource Conservation and Parks, said the popular holiday markets often draw newcomers to the Agricultural Center, which was previously a 68-acre dairy farm before the County preserved the land in 2005. A portion of the property continues to be leased for farming and the site also has community gardens and field plots please see MARKET, page 7

Rowan College at Burlington County fashion student Frankie Sanchez showcased two original pieces (above) in the college’s annual fashion show on May 4.
“It has a take on biomimicry … being inspired by nature or design or a specific system,” he said. “Also, I really wanted mine to focus on sustainability … I don’t believe it’s just a trend. I think it’s something we have to really pay attention (to) now as it gets worse and worse.” “My collection is made out of all natural materials, so cotton or wool and silk,” Ozturk added. “Each (piece) is inspired by a different climate.” The student loves to experiment with different fabrics, but he emphasized how the design process can be difficult. “You gather research about what you want in your pieces and that takes at least a week,” he said. “And then the second week, you look over your research and then you start sketching down. But that’s not your actual sketches.” “Towards the end of the sec-
ond or third week, that’s when you start really making pieces on (your) own,” Ozturk added. “So that part is the longest part.” Ozturk described what he looked forward to most about the show. “ … Seeing the models come out one by one with the clothes on,” he offered. “Because … I feel like every person that works on crafts, if it’s making a bench or constructing a building, it’s like when you see the final piece, you’re like, ‘That came out of me.’” CHRISTINE HARKINSON/The Sun
An original design by Rowan College at Burlington County fashion student Atillahan Ozturk was this piece, included in his collection “Biomorphed.” His work was featured in the college’s annual fashion show on May 4.

Versatile Violet: Moorestown’s Marta leads team at plate and on mound Sophomore continues to build on an impressive freshman season By MATTHEW SHINKLE Sports Editor
It was in the middle of gym class last year when Moorestown softball head coach Bill Mulvihill was first introduced to the freshman he would rely on heavily throughout the 2020’21 season. Violet Marta, a softball player for much of her life before reaching Moorestown High School, was eager to make the team and help however she could. Fortunately for the Quakers, all Marta did was pitch 64 of 82 innings last season, striking out 63 opposing batters while allowing just 17 earned runs. She also recorded the thirdmost hits on the team and thirdmost RBIs while hitting in the heart of the lineup, a tremendous amount of responsibility for a freshman. But according to Mulvihill, she didn’t play like one. “She came in and didn’t throw like you’d expect a freshman to,” Mulvihill said. “She had a lot of control of her pitches and was really poised on the mound despite her age. Whether the other team was hitting her or not in a

Moorestown sophomore Violet Marta leads the Quakers in most offensive and pitching categories this season, a major reason for her team's recent eight-game winning streak.
given game, nothing ever really got to her, she never changed her demeanor.” So Mulvihill and his assistant coaches were understandably excited to see what Marta would do as she got older and more comfortable at the highschool level. Now in her sophomore year, Marta has continued to grow and take on even more responsibility, both in the lineup and on the mound for Moorestown. Through the first 14 games this season, the Quakers are 9-5, in large part due to Marta’s presence both in the lineup and
on the mound. Having pitched 83 innings so far, she recently reached her 100th strikeout on the year, while also leading the team with 21 hits, 11 runs scored, 21 RBIs and four home runs. Adjusting from travel to highschool softball last year was slightly challenging at first due to the age gap, according to Marta. In preparing for her freshman season last year, she expected to battle for the starting pitching job, but after the first practice, Marta realized what was best for the team would be evident before the first game of the season, and she looked

forward to helping however she could. “I immediately thought that the one senior that I knew pitched was going to be my enemy going into the season, because I wanted that job,” Marta said. “I kept telling myself that I had to get ready and try to impress the coaches to show I should pitch. But she actually wanted to play first base over pitching anyway, so after that, I was able to relax a lot more than I expected.” Marta didn’t stray too far from throwing strictly fastballs and changeups last year, but
@SJSportsWeekly
looked forward to adding more pitches to her repertoire as a sophomore. She added three new pitches to her arsenal this season. In terms of her value to the team, Mulvihill said it’s not hard to describe. “Since day one this season, she’s been the complete player,” he said. “She’s leading the team in hits and RBIs while pitching almost every game. She’s doing everything for us. “She’s having a great year.” Having excelled at such a young age with the program, Marta has the opportunity to break a few records before her time with the Quakers is up. According to Mulvihill, Moorestown has only two softball players who have recorded at least 100 hits: Caroline Muccifori with 112 (2014-’17) and Erika Heffernen with 106 (2017-’19). Regardless of individual accomplishments, Marta is focused on the team of mostly sophomores growing together. After a 13-10 record last year, Moorestown has a good opportunity to surpass last season’s final record. “I definitely thought we were going to do better this season than we were last year,” Marta said. “Last year, it felt like a lot of us younger girls on the team were still getting comfortable out there because we were freshmen. “We had the chance to learn from a few seniors last year and we’re putting to use what they taught us.”

Brown, Cheeseman make the most of opportunities at Cherokee The Chiefs defeated Delran 9-5 in the opening round of the Diamond Classic By MATTHEW SHINKLE Sports Editor
Coming into the 2021-’22 baseball season, both junior Evan Brown and senior Jeremy Cheeseman looked forward to getting back on the diamond for Cherokee, after injuries kept the pair from playing where they felt most comfortable. Following a strong start on the year – which at one point included a six-game winning streak – the Chiefs defeated Delran 9-5 in the first round of the 48th annual Joe Hartmann Diamond Classic, with Brown and Cheeseman being two of the leading reasons for Cherokee’s opening-round win. Brown hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning to set the offensive tone early on, giving Cherokee a lead it would not relinquish. The junior would end the day with two hits, three RBIs and a stolen base, while also playing stellar defense at second. After a freshman season lost to the pandemic, Brown played just a handful of games last year before suffering a hip fracture midway through the spring. It would limit him to just 21 atbats his sophomore season. “I just try to enjoy every moment I can,” he said. “I know firsthand that it can be taken away from me just like that. I just take it one game at a time. I’d been looking forward to playing for Cherokee ever since I was a kid, and I went to all the games when I was younger. “So I don’t take this for granted at all.” Through Cherokee’s first 15 games of the season, Brown leads the Chiefs in hits, home runs and runs scored, all from the leadoff spot. Coach Marc Petragnani – in his 14th season at the helm for Cherokee – said
MATTHEW SHINKLE/South Jersey Sports Weekly
Cherokee senior Jeremy Cheeseman pitched 5.1 innings for the Chiefs in a 9-5 win over Delran in the opening round of the Diamond Classic.
watching Brown come back this season and play even better than he did last year while moving to the top of the lineup has been something special to watch. “He’s a catalyst for this team; we moved him to the leadoff spot at the start of the year, and he’s just produced,” Petragnani said. “It was very upsetting to see him get hurt last year, but we moved him to the leadoff

hole this season and he’s produced, just like a future Division 1 baseball player should produce in the leadoff hole.” Cheeseman started on the mound for Cherokee in the opening round of the Diamond Classic, against Delran, going 5.1 innings with two earned runs on five hits while striking out eight batters and walking two. After just 23 total pitches on the
South Jersey Sports Weekly
mound last season, Cheeseman made his return to pitching this season after having stepped away from the position years ago following a broken shoulder. In recovery, doctors recommended that the then-eighth grader not try pitching again until he was fully grown, so as not to reaggravate the injury. Coming into his senior year, Cheeseman was ready to get
back on the rubber. “I’d been itching to get back to pitching again really since my sophomore year, and I’m loving getting to do this again,” he said. “I couldn’t wait to get to do this again. I feel most confident when I’m on the mound.” Despite the coach’s worry coming into the season, Cherokee has had great luck finding reliable and capable arms this spring, following the 2021 graduation of three seniors who threw a combined 108.1 innings. Seniors Shane Sax and Blake Weinstein have stepped into larger roles on the mound this season than they did last year. The addition of Cheeseman to the staff, as well as those other arms, has Cherokee off to a 11-4 start. “We knew we had a lot of offensive talent and that our pitching might be a question mark, because we didn’t have a lot of innings returning,” Petragnani said. “But early on, our pitching showed to be a strength. And it’s just kept up that way.” Last season, Cherokee jumped out to a 13-3 start before losing six of its last eight, something both the coach and returning players remember very well. As June gets closer, the team agrees that it can’t afford to get comfortable or complacent. “I think we’re a good team that needs to keep getting better, because the competition we play will also just keep getting better,” Petragnani said. “I like the potential of this team, but we still have a whole lot of work to do.” “We didn’t get as much done last year as we should have,” Brown acknowledged. “Coming into this year, we said we were going to be all in. That’s our motto. So we need to keep playing like a team and take it one game at a time – and see how far that takes us.”
