Source of lead baffles officials Utility zeroes in on cause, as levels remain high By RoB anTheS
For the third consecutive testing period, samples from the Bordentown Water Department contained twice the levels of lead allowed by the federal government. Baffled local officials continue to search for answers to the most basic question: Why? The quest for clarity has led the Bordentown City government to take a holistic approach to their water system, which ser ves nearly 16,000 people in the city and Bordentown Township. In addition to taking hundreds of water samples, the utility also has begun the process of digging up entire streets in order to ensure no lead pip-
ing exists in the distribution system. City officials believe none of the pipes belonging to the utility contain lead, and insist the water source is not the problem. If true, that likely would leave the cause as lead piping, solder or fixtures within homes. The onus, then, to fix the issue would be on individual homeowners. “We are very, very serious about this,” Bordentown City Mayor Jim Lynch said. “We are not taking this lightly. We’re not pushing blame on anything. We need to get to the problem, and we have to help either the homeowner solve it or the water utility solve it.” Utilities across New Jersey— from Newark to Hackensack to Trenton—have grappled with lead issues in recent years. Nearby, Trenton Water Works has tested for excessive lead
in three of the last four sixmonth sampling periods. SUEZ Water Hackensack received its first ever violation for lead in January. Gov. Phil Murphy has acknowledged the issue, and even devoted part of his first State of the State address in January to recognize lead piping and aging water infrastructure is a problem statewide. Murphy also held a meeting with mayors whose towns have grappled with lead in the water. The mayors of Newark and Trenton were there. So was Lynch. “I kind of felt out of place because we had nowhere near the kinds of problems they had,” Lynch said. For this reason, the problem perplexes more in Bordentown. Nearly all the water utilities in question have lead service lines. As far as anyone knows, See WATER, Page 4

It’s a Friday night and 10 women are playing pool in Peter’s Place on South Broad Street, something that wasn’t happening as recently as four years ago. “It’s like a girls’ night out,” Sabrina Guadagno says. “You go out and play some pool, have some drinks, and enjoy the night. A lot of times you get busy and you don’t get to see your girlfriends that often. This is like a set date.” The women play 8-ball matches on ladies teams as part of the Trenton division of the American Poolplayers Association of South Jersey. The nights
are fun and lively but also show a competitive side. “Everybody quiets down, there’s some whispering,” Eileen Shaw says. “You can feel the tension in the air when it gets serious.” No ladies team has been better under pressure than the Frantasticons, a team that consists of Kerri Banning, Francine Case, Guadagno, Marie Guindin, and Shaw. “We have a blast,” says Shaw, the team captain whose workday job is as a medical receptionist for an ENT office; she also tends bar at Kennedy’s Bar on South Clinton Avenue. “We laugh. It’s so much fun. You get to hang out and play pool. It’s an excuse sometimes to get out.” The Frantasticons won the Trenton division last year, then
made history when they won the World Pool Qualifiers tournament in Atlantic City in June to become the first ladies team from Trenton to qualify for the American Poolplayers Association 8-Ball Team Championship in Las Vegas in August. The Atlantic City tournament is the third largest pool tournament in the world. “It was such an adrenaline rush,” says Guindin, who lives in Trenton just six blocks from Peter’s Place and is a Shop Rite manager during the day. “It was so exciting. We were super concentrated. In Atlantic City we went out and walked the boardwalk and were praying, ‘Please, God, let us win this.’ We took deep breaths and said, ‘We’ve got to do this.’ We went inside See POOL, Page 8

WATER continued from Page 1 Bordentown doesn’t. Yet, testing reveals Bordentown has some of the highest levels of lead in the state. TWW’s worst result of 19.7 parts per billion is still 30 percent less than Bordentown’s best, the most recent number of 28 ppb. Meanwhile, neighboring Fieldsboro, which buys its water in bulk from Bordentown, returned a number more than twice of Trenton’s in the most recent round of testing. Additionally concerning is that some homes continue to have high lead levels despite repeated attempts to remedy the issue. One home returned a result in the latest round of testing 48 times higher than the federal limit of 15 ppb. Several other homes have given city officials pause because they have provided samples with high lead even after flushing the pipes. Lead levels typically diminish as water runs since lead usually leaches into water that has been resting for some time. For this reason, water utilities dealing with lead often advise customers to run the water for a minute first thing in the morning. Bordentown City commissioner Joe Myers said a few of the sustained lead levels were due to residents improperly taking samples. But there is still a homeowner in Bordentown Township who continues to see elevated lead in the water after flushing, despite replacing the service line to the home.
“It’s not supposed to do that,” Lynch said. “Even if you have lead overnight sitting, in the morning, if you let it run for 15 seconds, the lead will pretty much go away. In these houses, it doesn’t go away. So we have to be careful not to tell people, ‘Just run the water for 30 seconds, and it will go away.’ We’re not so sure about that.” When flushing fails to remedy a lead problem, suspicion usually turns to the water itself as a cause. City officials insist, though, that the water source isn’t the issue. Bordentown draws its water from a well drilled into an aquifer near the Crosswicks Creek. It does not take surface water, as Trenton does from the Delaware River. The water department has tested the water at the source and at two different locations before service runs into Fieldsboro. All tests came back with low or undetectable levels of lead, Myers said. The city also tested water coming into the sewer system, with samples showing no lead, Lynch said. The city has collected nearly 400 samples from people’s homes as well, and has started to look for patterns. Mapped out, it appears the lead problems are clustered in certain areas, including on one block of Oliver Street in the city and on West Constitution Drive in Bordentown Township. Myers said the visual could be misleading, though. The water department has focused sampling in certain areas See WATER, Page 7

WATER continued from Page 4 to satisfy the DEP requirement to test homes most likely to have lead piping or lead solder. Lynch, meanwhile, says data so far suggests that houses built in the 1980s are the most likely candidates for lead issues because of materials used during construction. He believes the city is close to targeting the source of the problem. “In another six months from now, we should have a pretty good book of knowledge on what’s taking place here,” Lynch said. “Then we just have to work with the homeowner. We can’t afford to go into people’s houses for them, but we certainly want to help any way we can.” To ensure pipes owned by the utility do not contain lead, the water department has dug to see the mains and service lines on eight streets. The department selected streets with houses that repeatedly exceeded the federal lead standard during testing. Upon inspection, the pipes were mostly copper. One was plastic. None have been lead, Myers said. The water department also has begun taking inventory of its mains and service lines to comply with new state law affecting every water utility. The law also requires utilities to develop a 10-year plan for upgrading and maintaining the components of its water system. The city currently has the draft of the plan ready, and Myers said the government will make the plan public at a dedi-
cated meeting this month. Prior to the official public meeting, the city’s resident water advisory board will review the plan at its meeting this month. The advisory board gathering is also open to the public. While sorting out the root of the problem, the Bordentown Water Department started introducing orthophosphate to its water this past fall. Orthophosphate forms scale, which can prevent lead in corroding pipes and fixtures from leaching into water. The amount of lead in Bordentown’s water dropped 35 percent in the sixmonth period after orthophosphate was introduced. But Lynch cautioned orthophosphate does not get rid of lead, and merely masks the problem. To truly rid a water system of lead-related problems requires removing all lead from the system. That’s easier said than done in Bordentown because most of the city’s service lines into homes are either galvanized, plastic or copper. Lynch said his house, built in the 1930s, had a galvanized service line until about 15 years ago, when it broke and was replaced with a copper pipe. Studies have shown galvanized pipes themselves can be a source of lead. Galvanized pipes were dipped in zinc, which is impure. Those impurities often included lead. One study, published in 2015, showed that galvanized steel pipes were a primary lead source for many homes in areas that have had lead in water issues, including Washington,
D.C., and Chicago. Galvanized pipes are also known to corrode easily, and, if the pipes were ever connected to lead plumbing or ser vice lines, the corrosion inside the galvanized pipes could have trapped bits of lead. As the pipe continues to corrode, it can release the trapped lead into the water, even if the source of the lead had been removed many years ago. Experts say that, like lead piping, the only way to fix problems with galvanized pipes is to replace them. That is an expensive proposition, and one local governments do not have funding to attempt, Lynch said. During his meeting with mayors, Murphy promised to appeal to the federal level for more infrastructure funding for New Jersey. Lynch also said the city plans on reaching out for help to Rep. Andy Kim, who is a Bordentown Township resident. In the end, city officials said they will do anything in their power to ensure the quality of the drinking water and the safety of residents. That’s why, Lynch said, they are taking such a comprehensive look at the issue. “I wouldn’t rule anything out,” L ynch said. “Our responsibility is that the city isn’t contributing to this in any way.” In the meantime, Lynch stressed the importance of getting all children tested for lead exposure. The city also has offered to test residents’ water for lead, at no cost to the homeowner. “If you have younger children, my
advice would be to get them tested,” L ynch said. “We’ll help them with that. If they feel they want their water tested, we’re still testing. We’re still willing to test at our expense. It’s cost us a lot of money, but that’s how serious we are.” The Burlington County Department of Health apparently agreed with Lynch’s advice, and—in partnership with Virtua Health System— held the first of two lead screening events for children in the area Feb. 25 at the Bordentown Township Senior Center. The second will be March 27 at the Carslake Community Center in Bordentown City from 5-7 p.m. Children up to age 6 can receive a free blood test via finger stick, which gives instant results. Educational materials about lead exposure will also be available. This kind of testing is important because doctors, researchers and even government agencies agree that there is no safe level of lead for human consumption. Lead is a neurotoxin, and the human body cannot process it. Instead, it is absorbed by the teeth, bones and body tissue. Lower levels of exposure, like those in water, cause no obvious symptoms but can affect children’s brain development and can cause anemia, hypertension, renal impairment and immunotoxicity. Pregnant women, in particular, need to be careful, as lead stored in their bodies can be released into their system during pregnancy, causing harm to the child. The effects of lead are believed to be irreversible.

POOL continued from Page 1 and took it down. It was pretty amazing.” The Frantasticons team added to Trenton’s rich history of pool success. A team from Sportsman’s Pub on Lalor Street in Trenton won the 8-ball nationals in 2012. In 2007 a team out of Kennedy’s Bar on South Clinton Avenue won the 9-ball national championship. Olde Liberty Tavern also supports a ladies team in the Trenton division. Barb and Walt Markowitz started the APA of South Jersey in the early 1990s and the current owner, Dave Piotrowski, purchased the league in 2009. “I was very proud of them,” says Peter’s Place owner Mikey Peters, who supports two women’s teams in the Trenton division. “I can’t explain the excitement when they got out there and represented the APA and Peter’s Place.” It was the first trip to nationals for everyone on the ladies team. Shaw had qualified for nationals before with mixed teams, but she hadn’t been able to play in them due to having her first child in 2010 and her brother’s wedding in 2011. She sealed the nationals trip with the winning shot. “She was starting to run out the balls,” Guindin says. “She had ball in hand and she was getting ready to go for the 8-ball, and it was in an awkward spot. She was going to put it in the one spot and she changed her mind and moved it. They thought she was going to miss the shot, but it smacked the 8-ball in, and that’s how we won.” It was a historic moment that they could all celebrate together.
Sabrina Guadagno (left) and Eileen Shaw of Bordentown were part of the first ladies team from Trenton to qualify for the American Poolplayers Association 8-Ball Team Championship in Las Vegas in August.
“Once we made it to Atlantic City, we were determined to make it to Vegas,” says Banning, who lives in Hamilton. “We stuck by each other. We cheered each other on. Once we found out we were going to Vegas, it was the best. I don’t think I’ve experienced anything like that before.” The Frantasticons didn’t win a match in their first trip to nationals. Case was
the only individual to win in head-tohead play. “They were really good,” Case says. “The couple teams we played against, they were great. They were respectful and fun. Some of those women play better than men.” Following the competition, Guadagno took advantage of the setting in Las Vegas to marry her fiancee, Joey

Guadagno, the league manager of the APA of South Jersey, to top off the trip. Her family flew out for the wedding that they planned in connection with the APA championship party. “We were friends for a very long time before we dated,” Sabrina Guadagno says. “People who play pool tend to gravitate toward people who play pool. If you have a hobby and the person likes your hobby too, that helps.” The Guadagnos play in mixed leagues together and against each other. Reaching nationals with a ladies team was something that Sabrina Guadagno wasn’t sure would ever happen, but ladies’ opportunities could be on the rise again. It’s been more than three years since Case and Shaw were sitting in Peter’s Place and Case wondered aloud why there wasn’t a women’s pool league. “We had a men and women’s team of 9-ball,” Case says. “We were having so much fun. We were all friends and said we needed to start a women’s team because we would have fun, and we did. We had to get a certain amount of women’s teams together to start it in our area.” The Trenton division began in 2015 with six teams. It’s down to four teams that compete on Fridays. “When I first started, I don’t even know if there was a woman’s division,” Guadagno says. “I started out with a local bar with friends. Over the last five years, it’s grown in certain areas. In other areas, it stays the same. If you’re adding another night of pool and you have a family and all that, sometimes it’s
not easy to do.” Peters, 72, has run his establishment for 40 years. He knows many of the current players’ parents, and he has been like family to them. He has always enjoyed good shooters in Peter’s Place and recently added two brand new Diamond pool tables that are state of the art. “I like the tables,” Banning says. “It’s a small space, but it’s very family-oriented. It’s like Cheers. You’re out of place if you’re not known there. We call it home base. That’s where everyone hangs out.” Men and women play pool at Peter’s Place every night, and Peters remembers a time when women’s teams were more popular. “There were pool teams all around Trenton and outside the area, in Bordentown, in Pennsylvania bars, Robbinsville, and Hamilton,” Peters says. “Our girls’ team was so fantastic they won it 10 years in a row. Then it trickled down and got a little slow. Now we achieved a goal where we made it to nationals.” Peter’s Place is hoping it sparks more participation and another ladies team qualifier for nationals, although the Frantasticons would have a different look. Guindin isn’t competing during the current session because of family commitments, though she will make occasional Friday nights to see her teammates, and Case recently moved from her native New Jersey to Alabama for a new opportunity. It’s a challenge to recreate the winning formula with a new group that has to not only play well but mesh personalities. “I don’t think we did anything different,” Banning says. “We were a little more united. I don’t think anybody was more bonded than us.” The Frantasticons team ranged in age from mid-30s to mid-40s. Guadagno, the highest rated player of the team, plays five nights a week on a variety of teams. “The more often you shoot, you do get better if you’re playing more often,” Guadagno says. “The league itself has some good players that give good advice and help out. The higher ranked players are all willing to help out the lower ranked
players and give advice.” Shooters balance playing pool with the demands of family, job, and life, and every effort pays off. It’s possible for a female player to compete six nights per week. “It’s definitely a learning experience,” Guindin says. “It takes time. When I used to shoot, I just used to shoot. You have to get down on the table, you have to breathe right. You have to hit the ball just right and chalk up. There’s a whole strategy to it. It’s not just hitting a stick into a ball. It’s about learning to know where that cue ball is going to stop to hit for the next ball that you need to go for and lining up for your next shot.” Shaw got her start playing competitively on teams as soon as she turned 21. Guadagno has been playing for 20 years. Guindin started almost nine years ago, and a former boyfriend bought her first stick. Banning and Case have been playing seven and eight years, respectively, and jumped at the chance when Shaw asked them to play together in the new women’s league. “I had a lot of friends who played in a league,” Case says. “I kind of held off and just played for fun and never got in a league. And then one of the league operators, Joey, convinced us to start a team. Ever since then, I liked it and joined multiple teams.” “It’s a way to get more ladies involved,” Shaw says. “There used to not be a lot of women involved. It’s opened up the door to be involved.” Being involved opened up a door to history for five women. They represented Trenton pool in the ladies division at nationals, a perfect finish to what’s a growing Friday night tradition. “If I’m going to be on a team, I want to have fun,” Guadagno says. “It’s not a job. This is supposed to be fun.” The women are hopeful that they will see more ladies teams in the area. Interested individuals or teams can reach the APA of South Jersey at 609-526-2000.

Patricia Downey, Doug Ranson and John MacDonald perform with the Greater Trenton Pipes and Drums, which rehearses in Bordentown.
Greater Trenton Pipes and Drums play beyond St. Paddy’s Day By Susan Van Dongen Nero may not have fiddled while Rome burned after all—he could have been playing the bagpipes, some form of the instrument, anyway. The bagpipes, so much associated with Scotland and Ireland, are said to have roots in ancient Mesopotamia and North Africa. The pipes made their way to Rome, and it was the Romans who subsequently brought bagpipes to Britain some 2000 years ago. However, it was the Scots who added the third “drone pipe,” and really amplified the sound. Ewing resident Patricia Downey, president of Greater Trenton Pipes and Drums, could tell you even more about the bagpipes: for example, the bag is made of a synthetic fabric, not animal pelts or a sheep’s stomach anymore; there are four reeds that need to be in proper condition and place for the instrument to function. And, there are only nine notes available through the chanter or “blow-pipe” of the instrument, so any elaboration or articulation has to be done with a series of complex grace notes. Players used to learn the pipes only by ear, not by the notated manuscripts modern band and classical musicians are familiar with. The GTPD’s oldest member, 86-year old Jamesburg resident Gordon Fraser, was taught this way in his native Scotland. Downey, a musician and longtime music educator, is a font of information about traditional Scottish music, the pipes themselves, and her fellow participants in the group, many of whom she’s recruited. She says the group had a little time off over the winter holidays, but now the members of the GTPD are shaking the dust off their kilts and preparing for the
2/7/2019 9:54:31 AM
busy Saint Patrick’s Day season, which will launch the group into some nine months of activity. The GTPD will next perform at the Saint Patrick’s Day parade in Belmar, Sunday, March 3, 12:30 p.m. Closer to home, the group will march in the Hamilton Saint Patrick’s Day parade, Saturday, March 9, 1 p.m. The parade starts at the Nottingham Fire House. During the actual weekend of Saint Paddy’s, the GTPD will be part of the festivities in Robbinsville, Saturday, March 16 at noon. The parade route begins at the Foxmoor Shopping Center. All the parades are free. The GTPD has been practicing every Thursday at the Carslake Community Center in Bordentown City every Thursday for 15 years. “We started out rehearsing at a school in Springfield Township, but we really needed a larger space, so we started looking around for a rental hall,” Downey says. “Bordentown is a somewhat central location for most of our members, so we decided to call it ‘home.’” At one rehearsal last month, the cold wreaked havoc on the intonation of the bagpipes, and delayed the arrival of whoever had the key to the equipment room where the drums are kept. So, the drummers sat around a table and warmed up on practice pads, coached by GTPD member Gordon Bell of Shark River, one of the area’s top percussion instructors. Among those drummers was George Zienowicz, Trenton’s venerable sign maker, musician, and arts supporter, who first joined the GTPD as a bagpiper, having played the instrument for decades. Influenced by his Scottish-born mother, Zienowicz was just one member of the extended family that played the bagpipes. He also played the fiddle and spent some 15 years in a Celtic rock band. Before the GTPD, Zienowicz was in the Tir Na Nog Pipe Band based in Hamilton and became pipe sergeant, second in command of the pipe corps. Downey
met him in Tir Na Nog and found him to be a patient teacher. “I was just a novice player, but George was always very kind, encouraging, and supportive of me in those early days,” she says. “He’s still that way with beginners in this band. Even though he wasn’t a founding member of the GTPD, he is an integral part of the unit.” Meanwhile at the rehearsal, GTPD’s current pipe major Tom Fortis, a retiree from Avondale, Pennsylvania, led a sectional at another table, walking the players through “Men of the West,” a familiar march tune. This is the quieter part of the rehearsal, before the pipers attach their chanters to the bag and drone pipes. Once the instruments are all put together and the drummers have their actual drums, the action moves to the Carslake Center’s gymnasium, and it gets loud—years ago, this reporter first heard the GTPD practicing while sitting at a traffic light, blocks away on Route 130. It makes sense that they’re loud, since the bagpipes were originally used to scare off enemies on the battlefield. It is the only Western musical instrument that is/was deemed a weapon of war. Marking its 16th year, Greater Trenton Pipes and Drums was formed in the early summer of 2003, by a small group of experienced pipers and drummers. A non-profit pipe band, the group has a mission to preserve the music and culture of the Great Highland Bagpipes. The band debuted at the 2003 Anchor House Ride for Runaways ceremony at the former Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton. In the last 16 years, the group has grown to perform at more than 25 parades, charitable events and private functions each year. Current personnel total is 25, ranging in age from 15 to 86 years old, divided between nine women and 14 men, many of whom are retired. The GTPD is family oriented and inclusive in several different ways, Downey says. “We even like to have kids in the band,” she says. In addition to the parades, the GTPD performs and educates within the Burlington County School District, conducting different history and culture assemblies around Saint Patrick’s Day. They are fixtures in area Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades, as well as 9/11 memorial ceremonies, Halloween celebrations, and Civil War reenactments at Camp Olden and the Abbott House in Hamilton Township. They have played for the College of New Jersey’s alumni veteran festivities, at Trenton Titans hockey games, and in Princeton University’s P-rade. Downey says that the GTPD has also helped welcome home numerous returning veterans from overseas, and that she and other solo players perform at weddings, private parties, senior events, and funerals, as well as charity events, like the Relay for Life, Princeton University Ivy League Mental Health
Conference, and the ARC Walkathon. “We’re a non-profit, we only want to maintain the group, maintain our needs,” Downey said. “We take care of everything for our members -- instruments, music, kilts, etc. “We’re happy to be part of the community, in fact, that’s part of our by-laws —to give back anytime we’re able, especially when police and fire (individuals) pass away,” she says. “Our mission as a band is to provide musical performances to the public and superior instruction to our members.” Downey played music throughout her childhood, and carried her interest into college, majoring in flute at Trenton State College. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in music education in 1988. “We were definitely brought up with music in the home,” she says. “My mother is an accomplished pianist with a serious devotion for Chopin. We were exposed to it all and developed a loving appreciation for music as children.” Reflecting on what drew her to the bagpipes, Downey says it was hearing them at local parades when her high school band was also participating. Since she is half-Irish in ethnicity, there might have been some Celtic spirit stoking her interest as well. “Playing the bagpipes seemed like a challenge and I was interested in seeing what it was all about,” she says. “I received a practice chanter (the first step in the learning process) as a Christmas gift in 1989, and after trying unsuccessfully to learn on my own, decided to get serious and seek out lessons.” One of her brothers worked with someone who was taking bagpipe lessons at the Ancient Order of Hibernians Msgr. Crean Division 1 in Hamilton, and he invited Downey to join in on Monday evening rehearsals of that group’s band. Sitting alongside Downey at the rehearsal, you could hear that she is one of the musical leaders in the group. Her skills in playing the flute certainly have given her a jump on the tricky technique of the bagpipes. Musical instruction is a cornerstone of the GTPD’s mission, and the group is known for mentoring inexperienced players, like Downey once was. Trenton’s Wills Kinsley—bicycle artisan, bass player and arts supporter—is one of those newbies, having only recently joined the group. “Our membership could be higher, and we have a few folks in their 70s, so we’d love some ‘new blood,’” Downey said. “Pipe and drum bands ebb and flow, and we’re always recruiting. The band is always looking for new members, and all ages and ability levels are welcome. I like to think that everyone has the right to play the bagpipes.” Greater Trenton Pipes and Drums rehearse at the Carslake Community Center, 207 Crosswicks St., Thursday nights at 7 p.m. For more information, call (609) 6357458 or visit gtpipeband.com.

Sports
Boys’ bowling ends season with state sectional berth By Rich Fisher On one hand, coach Ron Jones thought the Bordentown High boys’ bowling season could have been better. But then, he admits that perhaps more of his expectations stemmed from hope. “Our season ended, in my estimation, somewhat disappointing,” he said. “We finished second in our (Burlington County Freedom) Division and fourth in the (state) sectionals, and only the top two advance. I hoped we would have come back a little better. But hopes and wishes, you know how they go.” Nonetheless, the Scotties finished 11-4-2 with three solid bowlers, while league champion Maple Shade had a team whose fourth and fifth bowlers averaged as high as Bordentown’s top guys. So, when asked if Jones got as much as possible from his team, he conceded, “Absolutely.” Senior Brandon Weaver, the team’s leading bowler, felt along the same lines. It was a good season that could have been great, but he wasn’t complaining. “I thought this year was a really good year,” Weaver said. “I feel like if we did a bit better during one or two matches, we could have won instead of coming in second. But I was really happy how this year went, and we knew from the beginning Maple Shade
was going to be hard to go against.” The Scotties were led by the trio of Weaver, sophomore Gabe Ostrowski and junior Lucas Frader. Weaver, the team captain and lone senior, led the way with a 179 average, followed by Ostrowski (176) and Frader (164). Last year, Weaver was the third best among that group behind Ostrowski and Frader. It wasn’t that the other two slipped as much as Weaver got better. “I would bowl one or two times a week after the school season was over,” said Brandon, who is unsure of his future but hopes to continue bowling. “I was expecting to get my average up more than last year, which I did. I came in hoping to do the best that I can, and I did hope a little to be number one this year. I was also hoping to win most of our matches, which we did.” Scott praised his captain, saying, “Brandon worked all summer long. His sister used to bowl for me a couple years back,
“I feel like if we did a bit better during one or two matches, we could have won instead of coming in second,” Weaver said. “But I was really happy how this year went.”

she always kept on top of him, saying ‘You gotta keep rolling, you gotta keep rolling.’ He really stepped up, no doubt about it.” He helped make a formidable trio with Ostrowski and Frader, who both return next year. “I was expecting a big year from the three of them,” Jones said. “When you looked at the weekends, Gabe and Brandon would bowl over the weekends. Lucas can sometimes be better than the both of them, but he wasn’t bowling on weekends all that much. He was doing some other things. He would take a day off and then throw in a clunker of a series. We just need him to be a little more focused, he’ll be all right. He began learning that as the year went on. Just because the team is not bowling competitively or practicing, he needs to go to the lanes and roll.” Aside from the top three, it was a mix and match as to who would fill in the final two spots. Freshmen Andrew Croux and Tyler Quinn eventually took over there,

although junior Bryan White held down the fourth spot much of the time. “We had five others vying for the fourth and fifth spot and depending on who was hot and who was not, that was kind of how we tried to go,” Jones said. “We started off the year with a freshman and sophomore filling those two spots. By the time we got to the end of the year we had two freshmen filling them. I’m looking forward to some bigger things out of them. They both improved all year long. Between the two of them we should be able to recover from what we lose from Brandon.” As the team veteran, Weaver did what he could to help out the young guys. “I would help people if they wanted it, otherwise I would just let everyone do their own thing,” he said. “I see room for improvement in most of the current players and I see two that are capable of doing the same thing we did this year with the group next year.” In looking at next season, Jones feels there is potential. “I’ll be looking for a three, four and five,” he said. “There’s the two freshmen and the other guys hopefully realize what needs to be done and start coming around. We still have five players that are gonna fit in it, whichever ones step up will be the ones who step into the position.”

With 12-4-1 finish, girls’ bowling ‘in good shape’ for future By Rich Fisher Considering the day-to-day questions that faced the Bordentown High girls’ bowling team, it turned out to be a pretty darn good season. The Scotties had just two bowlers who competed on a consistent basis, yet finished 12-4-1 and one point behind New Egypt for a Burlington County Freedom Division championship. Bordentown had a loss and a tie in the season series, which proved to be the difference as the Warriors finished 9-0-1 in the division while the Scotties were 8-1-1. Coach Ron Jones pointed to fourthyear senior Maggie Hetman and secondyear senior Jenna Ryan as the bowlers “who consistently carried the load most of the time.” “They were the only rock we had, everything else was catch as catch can,” Jones said. “Who was showing up? Who wasn’t showing up?” The team’s top bowler was junior Jamie Nasatka, who averaged 141. Unfortunately, Nasatka suffered an injury during a field hockey state tournament game and missed the first three weeks of the season, “which cost us a little bit,” according to Jones. Senior Sarah Heil was also enjoying a stellar season before illness sidelined her around the New Year. “She called me two or three different times saying she would be back the next week, but she just couldn’t make it,”
Jones said. Senior Keira McAteer had the team’s second best average at 138, but could only bowl 19 games due to a heavy load of extra-curricular activities and classroom work. McAteer also plays field hockey and softball. “We have three of our better bowlers who just weren’t available all the time,” Jones said. “We had a lousy day at (state sectionals), we were missing some girls there too. That was kind of the problem all year. This one played, then another played, another missed. They were jumping in and out, round about. It’s hard to say I put the same lineup out there at any one given time.” And yet, the Scotties still enjoyed a .750 winning percentage and near-division title, which speaks volumes for the way different bowlers stepped up. “I do think that if players didn’t get injured or sick, then the outcome could have been better,” Hetman said. “At each practice and match the team’s goal was to do our best and have fun. From a team standpoint, I liked how our team was able to bond. We all supported and encouraged each other at practice and at matches.
“Overall, I think this season went very well. It is sad that we missed the division title but we all did our best.” Especially Hetman, who does not do any outside bowling in leagues but was still good enough to earn All-Freedom Division honors three times. “My goals for this year were to increase my bowling average and to try to make it to states again,” said Maggie, who will not bowl in college but plans on majoring in Graphic Design at Stevenson Tech. “Last year I had the flu and couldn’t attend states so this year I planned to be able to go if we got there. I am very happy with the season I had, I just wanted to bowl my best and have fun for my senior year.” Jones felt that Hetman’s best quality was her consistency. “She was never ver y high but she never blew out a series and came up with nothing,” the coach said. “Sometimes girls will do that. Even the guys. They’ll bowl a 200, a 200 and a clunky 110 in their third game. You say ‘Wait a minute, if you stay consistent we might have been able to win that match.’ Maggie was consistent all year long. You could put her name down and fig-

ure she will come up with a 425, 450 series.” Hetman and Ryan, who rolled a 130 average, are the key graduation losses among the regular bowlers that Bordentown faces. The good news is that Nasatka will return with junior classmate Kylia Verwey, who “did pretty good” this year according to Smith. Sophomores Rayna Smith and Haley Russell also showed promise. Hetman did what she could to tutor the youngsters. “I was able to help some first-year bowlers with their technique and where to aim at the pins,” she said. “Of course with the help of Mr. Jones they all turned into pretty good bowlers by the end of the season.” Jones admits he is far from the glory days of 2007-12, when Bordentown won four state titles in five seasons. He noted that interest in girls bowling is waning, saying the only consistent programs in the area any more are Ewing, Burlington Township and Pemberton. But he is still optimistic about what Bordentown’s future holds. “I’m losing four seniors, two of which didn’t bowl all that much,” he said. “The rest will be coming back, and some of the younger kids will be coming up. I had a sign-up at the 8th-grade back-toschool night and I had some kids sign up who liked to bowl. If we get one or two bowlers out of them we’ll be in good shape.”
