Township committee starts new year
All the world’s a stage
Historical society series to kick off Feb. 2 By Scott morgan Most Bordentown residents know that the town has a whole lot of history. You know who didn’t know that, though? Tim Rollender, the president of the Bordentown Historical Society. “I’d never even heard of Bordentown before I got here,” he said. That was a few years ago, and, let’s be fair, Rollender has clearly turned that ship around. Bordentown theater students Courtney Quinn, Alison Wall, Annissa Richard, But his former lack of even Isabella Mayo, Gabrielle Takacs, Lucas Bergen and Connor Graham attended the knowing what a Bordentown NJ Thespian Festival Jan. 20 and 21, 2019 at Robbinsville High School.

Benowitz to serve fourth term as mayor By Samantha Sciarrotta Bordentown Township Committee voted unanimously to appoint Stephen Benowitz mayor for the third consecutive year. He was sworn in at the township’s annual reorganization meeting Jan. 5 at town hall. All members of the committee addressed the audience with reports from their respective liaison appointments and spoke about their plans for 2019. This is Benowitz’s fourth term as mayor. The Democrat has also served on township committee since 2013, in addition to a stint from 1979 to 1981. Benowitz, a retired educator, has lived in Bordentown for 50 years. He previously taught at Yardville Youth Reception and Correction Center, worked as the director of education at Rahway State Prison and was the director of special needs at the Burlington County Vocational Schools. According to a township press release, Benowitz said 2018 was a year of “many accomplishments” for Bordentown, citing road paving, recreation improvements, grant awards, economic development, and the stability of the municipal tax rate as examples. “I’m looking forward to continuing these initiatives in the new year,” he said.

Students work in the Bordentown Manual Training and Industrial School print shop. (Photo courtesy of the New Jersey State Archives, Department of State.) HISTORY continued from Page 1 And the fact that it’s so rich, yet largely obscure outside of town was the kind of thing that made him want to get more of the word out about a town that has played major roles in periods like the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the segregationist culture of the early 1900s. A Place Out of Time looks at Bordentown’s most important—yet possibly least-recorded—contribution to African-American culture in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Bordentown School. If you’ve heard of it by another name, that would hardly be a surprise. The Bordentown School had a lot of monikers. Some were official, like the Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, the State of New Jersey Manual Training School, and the Manual Training and Industrial School for Youth. Other names were a little more casual: Old Ironsides, for example, as a nod to Captain Charles Stewart, commander of the lovingly nicknamed USS Constitution, who once owned the land the school was built on. Old Ironsides, by the way, was also the name of the Bordentown School’s newspaper. The school was also called the “Tuskeegee of the North,” a none-too-subtle acknowledgment that the school was a haven for black youth in an age when discrimination based on skin color was still accepted policy. These days, you might just hear it referred to by its more formal initials, MTIS. Call it what you will, the Bordentown School, which operated from 1886 to 1955, was almost unique in the country.
What started as a place for the underprivileged grew to become an elite school with a parade of celebrity visitors ranging from Albert Einstein to Eleanor Roosevelt. That dynamic—an elite school for black youth to learn academics and trades in the middle of the segregated era—was a fitting thing to look at for a program aimed at bringing Bordentown’s history into the greater conversation, Rollender said. It’s also a fitting subject because unlike the volumes of Revolutionary and Colonial and Civil War-era history Bordentonians have in their collections, there’s actually very little in the way of artifacts from the school, he said. The really short version of how that came to be is, the school operated at a time when separate-butequal was a real thing, then closed a few years after that policy was struck down. And once segregation was gone, a state-sponsored school like MTIS was no longer legal. So “the school closed in a hurry” and all the things that were part of daily life—the desks, the machinery to learn trades on, the chalkboards, they all “basically hit the Dumpster,” Rollender said. In this way, he said, MTIS is a lot like World War II—people who were in it tend to not think of it as a culturally or historically significant period of time, it was just how life was. But also like World War II, people who didn’t live through it have been looking back and realizing there was something worth preserving there—and that there are still people who took direct part in it all. “The school closed in 1955,” RollenSee HISTORY, Page 8
People who didn’t live through segregation have realized there was something worth preserving—and that there are still people who took part in it all.

They’re in their 80s and 90s now, but they’re still around.” And in another parallel to World War II, there is a concerted effort happening right now to get those graduates on the record. The thing about the Bordentown School is, it was a middle-and-high school. But there also was School No. 2, which was the MTIS’s elementary 10:41 AM school. In March, the Historical Society is hosting “A Conversation with School No. 2 Alumni,” to bring the public closer to some actual living history. “We wanted people to interact with these grads,” Rollender said. “For the first time, we’re starting gathering digital recordings to collect interviews.” Getting Bordentown School grads to voice what it was like has been a large, but generally fruitful endeavor so far, Rollender said. He’s found the grads to be rather talkative about their time at the schools. A typical sentiment sounds a lot like the one graduate Arthur Symes told during an interview with the program African-American Legends: “Back during my time there, we didn’t think of
ourselves as being elite.” Symes was there at the end, from 1948 to 1955. And he’s one of the more visible grads. He’s even in “A Place Out of Time” discussing what it was like to be a student. “They nurtured us,” he told PBS. “They cuddled us. And they kicked us in the butt when it was necessary.” That’s another sentiment Rollender said he’s heard from pretty much every graduate he’s met, that the school was a place to bring out the best in its students, but not necessarily a bed of flowers. Rollender’s glee to be able to help salvage some of the history of the Bordentown School is rather palpable, and fueled by a lack of information or artifacts from the place. But that dearth of stories and mementos isn’t surprising, considering the Bordentown Historical Society was, when he arrived in 2015, not a particularly vibrant organization. “When my wife and I joined,” he said, “there were eight people in the room.” It was an inauspicious meeting to say the least. But there’s been a resurgence in interest in Bordentown’s history, likely due to an influx of younger resi-

Tennis was popular at the Bordentown Manual Training and Industrial School. (Photo courtesy of the New Jersey State Archives, Department of State.) dents who want to know more about who and what the town really was, Rollender said. Meetings these days have about 30 people on average in the room. The overall number of members is around 150, but that’s actually always been the case, he said. The Society has a lot of legacy members who aren’t very active. But the active members are growing. While Rollender likes to call himself a history nerd, he blanches at the term “history buff.” That, he said, would imply that he really studied and contemplated a lot of historical eras. He’s more of a museum visitor than an archaeologist, but that gives him a lot of interesting factoids to talk about. Like: “Did you know the guy who invented the golf tee went here?” The guy was George F. Grant, a Bordentown School alum who became a dentist and was the first African-American professor at Harvard. And Rollender just finds that kind of thing incredibly cool. Rollender got to Bordentown himself by trying to find a nice place near his work. By trade, he’s a financial pro, and these days he’s a senior venture officer— portfolio management—with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. He grew up in the Metuchen/Bridgewater area and went to Drew University. He then worked in public and private equity before getting his master’s in business administrationsfrom Temple in 2012. By 2015, he “wanted something different” from managing hundreds of billions of dollars for “the most polished of the most polished” individuals and decided to go into the public sector. He wanted to live near Trenton for work, and his real estate agent suggested the little town he’d never heard of. He’s grateful he listened and said he’s enjoyed living in the township. When he got more involved with the Historical Society, Rollender said he found an awful lot of historical treasures
either collecting dust in the attic, or scattered around town in private collections. So the push to bring a more unified sense of history takes some effort. But, then, that’s the reason for the upcoming spate of events into May, which include meet-and-greets, films, talks, and tours. All the events have some connection to the Bordentown School, because, Rollender said, residents just don’t know enough about it. “There was segregation in New Jersey as much as any other place,” he said. “And in that overall climate people could thrive.” His assessment about all that? “This was a big deal,” he said. “It was.” *** The Bordentown Historical Society and Building Bridges present “Untold Stories: Achieving Furthered Expectations,” an series featuring School No. 2 and the Bordentown Manual Training and Industrial School, running through the spring. The series kicks off on Feb. 2 at 1 p.m. with a screening of the documentary A Place Out of Time at the Carslake Community Center. Also in February are screenings of Compromised By Conflict Feb. 16 at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at the Friends Meeting House. March 2 will feature a visit to the Underground Railroad Museum, which includes an MTIS exhibit, at 10 a.m. Guests can participate in a conversation with School No. 2 alumni on March 16 at 1 p.m. at the Friends Meeting House. Rounding out the March events is a conversation with MTIS alumni at the Bordentown Township Senior Center March 30 at 1 p.m. On April 13, there will be a visit to the former MTIS campus at noon. Then, on April 27, Mildred Rich Jordan presents “The MTIS Legacy” at the Friends Meeting House at 1 p.m. Finally, a banner celebration and reception will be held May 4 starting at 1 p.m. at the Friends Meeting House.

STORE continued from Page 1 ated the model for what would become a nonprofit to help him along his path. “I really believe in community inclusion and employment of people with disabilities and the opportunity to live like everyone else, so I created this little business formulated around what he liked to do.” The shop offers vintage and handmade items. Both the artists and the store’s volunteers include people with disabilities— they can be blind, deaf, have traumatic brain injury, or be developmentally disabled—and people with no disabilities. In the shop artists from Bordentown and its environs sell their work, which includes handmade jewelry, knits, leather masks, mosaics, dishes, frames, and more. “The shop is a wonderful warm place, and it’s been a great experience for people with disabilities,” Betsy says. “The shop is just one part of the journey on what makes life good for all of us—where you work, how you recreate, what you do in your leisure time, who your friends are, and where you live. I think they are the things we all look for in life and they fulfill us.” “The people in the shop, we’re just people,” Betsy says. “The cool thing about people in the arts who are not disabled is they don’t care—it’s more about what you can do. I see them talking about what people are creating because it is so phenomenal.” Artists who offer their work for sale in the shop are not charged for space, but are asked to make a donation based on what sells. “That money goes back to the nonprofit to keep this unique thing going,” Betsy says. The Gail (Walsh) whose name is on
Gail Force Winds offers vintage goods and items handmade by adults with different disabilities. the shop was the mother of two boys with autism whom Betsy had worked with as an ABA therapist. She was amazed at what Betsy had done for her son and expressed her hope that her boys would be able to do something similar one day. A couple years later Gail reached out to Betsy and told her, “It’s time. I want to get my boys involved with you.” They made a lunch date, but the two women did not meet again because Gail was killed in a car accident.
Nonetheless both of her boys volunteer at the store, as does their father, Dan, and are employed. Explaining the genesis of the store’s name, Betsy says, Gail is on the masthead “because she is the mother who is not here.” But the full name is a play on words: “It’s Gail Force Winds, not only because of the types of mothers we are and were—the force behind our children,” Betsy says. It also alludes to the site of their one yearly fundraiser, the Riverton Yacht Club, where “the winds in their sails is what brings the money into the store.” These funds supplement what the shop itself brings in and helps pay for overhead. The nonprofit also hosts a community garden in Delanco Township in Burlington County, not too far from Willingboro; it pays for art-based classes for people with disabilities and also supports inclusion classes. Over the years the nonprofit has created opportunities in Mercer, Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester when people reach out to them. After graduating from Steinert High School, Betsy started in the nonprofit world as a secretary for for the Lutheran Social Services, took a detour into political fundraising for Thomas Kane, via the Governor’s Club under the Republican State Committee, but then returned to her nonprofit roots to work as administrative assistant to the director of COSAC (now known as Autism NJ), a small organization started by parents of people with autism. After Jon was born, she left COSAC to spend the year with her new baby boy, but found after Jon was diagnosed with autism that “I
had all the tools from working there [at COSAC] to know what I needed for this baby that I held in my arms.” “Now I was on the autism mom journey, running here and there, starting swimming groups, doing things in the community for young children,” she says. But it wasn’t easy. When the Yards lived in Ewing Township, they had to keep going to court to force the school district to provide FAPE (free, appropriate public education), nationally mandated under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Although they regularly won in court, Betsy says, “they set you up for failure,” and “the stress that it put on the family was horrible.” So she decided for the moment to homeschool Jon. She created an individualized, tailored program for her son, working with educational consultant Estrella Wells. “My husband calls her the Pied Piper,” Betsy says. “She walked into my house and by the time she walked out, he was responding to his name. I knew I had found someone who was a good match.” Wells trained Betsy, her husband Jonathan, and various family members in ABA and Greenspan play therapy. “It was a family affair,” she says. To help supplement what the family was doing, Betsy hired college students from then-Trenton State and Rider. “It was amazing. He was growing by leaps and bounds.” When it became evident that the Ewing Public Schools were not going to accommodate Jon, the Yards decided to move to Burlington Township, where Wells worked for the public schools. Even though Burlington also required some court visits, she

says, he got what he needed and was able to attend public school. Betsy has also worked as an ABA therapist in the public schools in Burlington County and as an advocate for the Association for Schools and Agencies for the Handicapped. Given that Gail Force Winds doubled in size last year, that Betsy has become visually disabled, and that people need jobs, the board recently voted to hire a few of the volunteers. The shop also serves as an opportunity for transitional students in area high schools to be involved in structured learning experiences where they can learn employment skills. Currently they are working with Northern Burlington County Regional High School and have offered this possibility to school districts from Princeton to Voorhees. To break down potential barriers for people with different types of disabilities, the shop has an app for deaf people, a bill reader for the blind, and recessed lighting for people who find regular commercial lighting bothersome. Betsy grew up in Mercerville, the daughter of a single mom, who was a nurse. Back in 1963 when Betsy’s mother got pregnant, she was sent to the Florence Crittenton Home for unwed mothers in Trenton. Betsy was either born in or was moved as an infant to St. Elizabeth’s Home in Yardville, where she was to be put up for adoption. Her mother, with the support of her best friend, managed to get Betsy back. “My mother chose to keep me, which was a very brave thing Betsy’s husband, Trenton native Jonathan Yard, is a distant nephew of the Jonathan Yard who was the first postmaster of Yardville (where Betsy was probably born) in about 1860. According to a genealogical done by Steve Higham, a cousin of Jonathan’s father, the Yard family reaches back to the
Battle of Hastings that began the Norman conquest of England in 1066. The family came to America via Philadelphia in 1688, and one of the brothers, Benjamin Yard, Jonathan’s seventh great-grandfather, moved in about 1700 to Trenton, where he owned an iron and steel foundry. His son, Benjamin, Jr., was a carpenter who built a wooden arch across Broad Street in Trenton commemorating George Washington. The family has different branches, Jonathan says, with “lots of interesting folks on one side and poor on the other.” Jonathan came from the blue-collar side. His paternal grandfather was a mason and his father a postal worker without much education. Jonathan himself retired from the Bordentown Post Office as a supervisor after 31 years and also served at different post offices in the Trenton area. Now he tutors English as a Second Language and works with special populations at Rowan College at Burlington County, which he loves doing and of course he volunteers at Gail Force Winds. Other relatives on the “interesting” side of the family include: William Stevenson Yard, who served in the New Jersey state legislature and greeted President Lincoln when he came to Trenton in 1860 or 1861; Molly Yard, former president of the National Organization for Women, and Henry Herbert Yard, an important figure in the history of Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Jonathan’s father’s oldest sister had powder casks from the Revolutionary War. “We had relatives in all the wars— Civil War, Spanish American War, Mexican War, and World War I and II. My father was in the liberation of Paris,” he said. Both Jon and Dan and Gail’s two boys are ready, Betsy says, for “a nice man cave,” and their parents are shopping for housing for them. “My son is remarkable,” Betsy says. “He has inspired this whole grassroots nonprofit, and there is none like it in the state.”

B I - M O N T H LY N E W S F R O M C A P I TA L H E A LT H After an initial meeting with Dr. Chung, participants begin one of two diet options in which “real” food is either replaced entirely by or balanced with high protein/ low carb meals (depending on individual nutrition requirements). Both diets are flexible enough to accommodate the individual needs of each participant.
Safe Options for Achieving Your
2019 WEIGHT GOALS For anyone struggling with obesity, the thought of achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can sometimes seem impossible. To help break harmful eating patterns and establish lasting routines for long-term health, Capital Health’s Metabolic & Weight Loss Center, located at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, offers surgical and non-surgical options for safe, healthy weight loss results that last a lifetime. “Our comprehensive approach is what makes the Metabolic & Weight Loss Center unique,” said DR. JOOYEUN CHUNG, medical director of the Center. “By addressing the medical, behavioral, and nutritional issues related to obesity, we come to understand each candidate not just as a patient, but as a person.” A Serious Commitment In addition to leading the Metabolic & Weight Loss Center, Dr. Chung is a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon who specializes in diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders. As one of the most experienced bariatric surgeons in the region, she works with her expert team to carefully evaluate each candidate for weight
loss surgery. Those who are cleared for surgery receive personalized care from a team that includes Dr. Chung, a psychologist, and a registered dietitian. The Center offers the full complement of weight loss surgeries, including sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. Depending on which option is chosen, weight loss surgery works by either changing the anatomy of your stomach or the way your body absorbs nutrition. After surgery, patients and their team at the Center continue to work together to achieve and maintain healthy weight goals. Change Your Routine, Change Your Life For those who do not fall within surgery guidelines or are looking for a non-surgical alternative to weight loss, the Center also offers a Medical Weight Loss Program, a protein-based meal replacement plan that is strictly monitored by Dr. Chung and her team. Replacement foods include protein bars, shakes, pudding, and soups that are part of a larger system of lifestyle changes — nutrition education, physical activity, behavior modification and group support — all of which change your relationship with food.
“Our program is all about personal accountability, which is the key to long-term success,” said Dr. Chung. “Participants are required to visit our dietitian once a week for ongoing support and a weekly supply of meal supplements. They also meet with me once a month to review lab tests to monitor their ongoing progress.” After they achieve their weight goals, participants gradually swap out replacement products with real food and implement the eating patterns and fitness techniques they learned during the program. Before and Ever After When it comes to losing weight safely, there is no easy way out, but patients at Capital Health’s Metabolic & Weight Loss Center never have to go through it alone. Long after replacement meals are finished and recovery from surgery is complete, they continue to receive support that helps sustain a lifetime of good health.

FEBRUARY is
AMERICAN HEART MONTH KNOW THE SIGNS OF A HEART ATTACK AND WHAT TO DO IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS HAVING ONE.
If you or a loved one is experiencing the signs of a heart attack, call 9-1-1. This puts you in contact with a trained dispatcher who will tell you what to do and sends an ambulance to your location. When the ambulance arrives, treatment begins in your home and the emergency department is prepared for your arrival at the hospital. Because your symptoms may get worse, driving yourself is a bad idea. The Chest Pain Center at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell is accredited by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care and the American College of Cardiology. This means the Center meets high standards for diagnosing and treating cardiac emergencies, such as heart attacks. When someone is having a heart attack, time to treatment is critical. Capital Health’s pre-hospital alert system allows ambulance patients to be tested in their homes and mobilizes an interventional team at the hospital if there is evidence of a heart attack, saving time for an initial EKG test or faster bedside blood tests for troponin, a protein that enters the blood stream during a heart attack. If you or a loved one is having a severe heart attack caused by prolonged restricted blood flow due to a clot or ruptured plaque, Capital Health’s Cardiac Catheterization Lab is ready to provide an emergency stent placement.
After you or your loved one has recovered, your last step is preventing another heart attack or heart-related illness. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, located at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, offers a team of physicians, nurses, exercise physiologists and registered dietitians who provide individually prescribed education and exercise. All program candidates are interviewed prior to entering the Cardiac Rehabilitation program, which allows a team to develop and implement a personalized care plan. Participants include those who have experienced:
… Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) within the past 12 months
… Coronary artery bypass surgery … Current, stable chest pain (angina pectoris)

Hand and Stone owner aims to provide ‘deep relaxation’ By Samantha Sciarrotta Marie Ruiz and her husband, Irian, knew they wanted to manage a spa, and when space opened up in her hometown, she knew they had to take it. Ruiz, a Bordentown native, recently opened up a Hand and Stone Spa at the Acme Commons Shopping Center on Dunns Mill Road. “When we decided a couple of years ago that we were going to pursue it, we were looking at locations,” Ruiz said. “[Corporate] knew I was from Bordentown, and they said, ‘We actually have a location in Bordentown.’ It was just a perfect fit. My parents still live here, my sisters are still in town, so my heart has always been with this town.” Ruiz, her husband (a UPS pilot), and their two daughters currently live in Hainesport. Ruiz says it’s always been a dream of hers to open a spa, and when she finally decided to do it, she thought a lot about whether she wanted to start her own “mom and pop” spa or get into a franchise. She had previous experience with Hand and Stone, though, and was comfortable with the franchise. “I did have the opportunity to work at one and manage one for four years that gave me the upper hand to say, yes, this is a company I want to invest my time and money in,” she said. “They are so

Marie Ruiz, who was born and raised in Bordentown, recently opened a Hand and Stone Spa location in the Acme Commons shopping center. (Staff photo by Samantha Sciarrotta.) supportive.” Ruiz has been in the spa industry for 24 years. She previously spent several years with a law firm but left to raise her daughters. She still wanted to work, though, so she decided to put her cosmetology license to use. “I had a girlfriend who was opening up a tanning salon in Bordentown, and she was getting ready to open a nail salon in
the back, and she asked if I could help her out,” Ruiz said. “It was super successful. When I saw the trends changing with the nail salon, I decided to go and pursue a little bit more with skincare. I did skincare for about eight years under a dermatologist, and I learned the whole medical end of it.” Ruiz met the dermatologist when she went for a medical visit. The doc-
tor mentioned that she wanted to introduce facials and waxing to the practice, but she needed some help, and Ruiz assisted. After that, she helped open two spas in Virtua hospitals, working in both the managerial and treatment departments. For the last five years, Ruiz has worked in spa management. She says she misses the hands-on aspects of working in treatment, but she is confident in her Hand and Stone staff. The business offers massages, facials and hair removal. It specializes in Himalayan and hot stone massage, which uses warm river rocks and can loosen tight muscles and stimulate deep relaxation. “I love making people feel good,” Ruiz said. “Health and wellness has always been a passion of mine. Our daily lives are so stressful to begin with, so we really think it’s important to complement our lives with massage, meditation, exercise, relaxation, because we’re constantly going, going, going. This gets us away for a little bit. It brings us back into the moment. A little me time. I love connecting with people, too.” Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa, 274 Dunns Mill Road, Bordentown.

compete with anybody.” Burnett, at 6-foot-4, gives the Scotties a strong presence in the middle, thanks to not only his size but his quickness. In addition to his scoring and rebounding, he averages a blocked shot per game. “I love how Christian has been playing this year,” Martin said. “That’s my guy. I talk to him on a personal level, both on and off the court, about how we both can get better as players, how we can feed off each other’s energy.” Added Myers, “He’s been playing unbelievable. He’s been a real force. I think he’s taken pride in being the guy in the middle. I think that’s meant a lot to the team. And he feels like he can do better, and I think that’s a great tribute to an athlete. He says it. He says I know I can be better. That’s a great way to be.” The Scotties endured a demanding early-season schedule, a slate that resulted in a 1-4 start, and created the need for a little “soul searching.” After watching the squad even its record at 6-6 by late January, Myers was happy with what was found. “They’re talented, but young,” Myers said. “It’s been such a great thing for them to experience. They got shellacked by St. Joe’s Hammonton (74-38) and it might have been the best thing to happen. They realized how good those kids are. We had a lot of soul searching. It would be so easy to give up. “I’m really proud of them. I’ve seen a lot of growth. We’re having trouble with consistency, but we’re not having trouble with competing. I don’t know what the record will look like, but I think they could be really good when we hit the middle of February. They’re just an interesting group of guys. I’m really enjoying this year.” *

Burnett said. “I just wanted to get wins, and for me to perform well so that we could get those wins. I just wanted to be part of a team effort. “We got off to a bad start, but we’ve picked it up. Our defense was just bad. Defense and turnovers are big for us. As long as we get that together, we’re a good team, we’re a skilled team. We can

Jordan Martin was ready for a breakout season with the Bordentown Regional High School boys’ basketball team. It just might have taken a little longer than he would have liked. Already regarded as one of the area’s top returning players after totaling 506 points his first two years with the team, the junior was slowed early in the campaign by a sprained ankle as well as having to adjust to being the focus of opposing defenses. Martin scored 16 points in the Scotties’ opener, but then was held to single digits in five of his next seven games. After a week break, Martin bounced back to score a total of 76 points in Bordentown’s next three contests, tallying at least 22 in each. The outburst pushed his average to 13.8 points per game. In previous seasons, Martin was a dangerous complementary piece playing aside 1,000-point scorers Darnill Brown, Manny Ansong and Jacquey Mendez. Last year, Martin averaged 12.2 points per game. “Now he’s getting the experience --- it’s you,” Bordentown coach John Myers said about the change in focus. “I told him it was coming, but it’s one of those things you don’t know what it’s like until you go through it. They aren’t going to let him do what he wants to do. He couldn’t figure out how to get points when he wasn’t shooting well. That’s what great players have to figure out. “There is no doubt in my mind that he’s going to be up on that list (of alltime top scorers at Bordentown) and be one of the greats, but he’s figuring it out and it’s hard. I don’t think he knew what it was going to be like, that people
would be gunning for you. He’s figuring that out. He’s a very talented kid. He’s a great kid. He’s going to be alright.” Martin acknowledged the transition was difficult, but accepted the challenge. “I’m not going to make excuses,” Martin said. “I’ve got to find some consistency. There’s a bunch of ways to score on the floor. My game has developed ever y year, but I want to get better. You can always get better, put in extra work. Some games are frustrating, but it’s only one game. You move onto the next. There is always another game to show what you can do. I’m just tr ying to help my team win games. My main goal is to take my team as far as I can take them, hopefully to states.” One of the ways he is trying to help, beyond scoring points, is by being a leader, both through words and by example. “The coaches always give me feedback on how I can become a better leader every day,” Martin said. “I push myself to see other ways I can talk to my teammates, how I can come at them, and help them better understand how to play the game. “I don’t mind being vocal,” he said, laughing. “I’m very comfortable speaking my mind. I don’t have a problem with that.” Christian Burnett, the team’s only senior, and junior Gavin Shiver were among a group of Scotties helping to carry the scoring load through the first half of the campaign. Burnett was averaging 11.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game while Shiver was averaging 11.7 points. “I feel I got off to a little bit of a slow start, but mentally I’ve picked it up a little bit and it translates onto the court,”
