Scotties continue to roll on the diamond with 12th straight victory By Steven Bassin Staff Writer

Nicole O’Leary wasn’t sure what to expect from her Bordentown Regional High School softball team coming into this season. The lost 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic had O’Leary “worried” about how her players dealt with everything going on from a personal standpoint to a softball perspective and how it would affect them coming into the 2021 campaign. Through 15 games this spring, O’Leary has seen her players not miss a beat from being away from the diamond last year. There’s been no slowing down the Scotties, who are 14-1 on the season after their 11-5 victory over Burlington Township High School on May 24 in Bordentown. The defending NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 2 champions are currently on a 12-game winning streak as they have rolled through its competition in the Burlington County Scholastic League. “The girls are playing really well,” O’Leary said. “They really have come out and worked hard and it’s shown. The upperclassmen and the underclassmen have messed really well together.” During its 12-game winning streak, Bordentown has outscored its opponents 74-14 and has scored 11 runs in a contest four times. The Scotties have tallied 11 runs in a game five times this season. The home run ball was a big part of Bordentown’s victory over Burlington Township, seeing three balls leave the park. Junior catcher Brianna Fischer was responsible for two of the three home runs by the Scotties during her three-hit night at the plate. Fischer connected for her first blast of the night in the third inning to give Bordentown back-to-back homers and a 3-0 lead after teammate Hailey Cope hit her first home run of the season in the at-bat prior. The junior launched her teamhigh fourth home run of the season in the sixth inning that gave Bordentown a 7-2 lead at the time and helped Fischer finish with three RBI on the night. Fischer’s other RBI came in the fourth inning on an RBI single. She now has 11 RBI and 17 hits for the season. “I was in a bit of a slump, so I made some adjustments and I’m glad it helped the team win,” Fischer said. “The home runs feel good. It’s been a very exciting season. We’re very close as a team and we

have great chemistry. It’s been a lot of fun.” Junior first baseman Angelina Marino came up big in two key spots for the Scotties in the victory over Burlington Township. Going hitless in her first three at-bats of the game, Marino made up for it with her last two plate appearances of the night, the first coming in the fifth inning with Bordentown clinging to a 4-2 lead and having the bases loaded with two outs. Marino slashed a chopper right up the middle to score two runs and give Bordentown some breathing room with a 6-2 lead. “It was all for the team,” Ma-

rino said. “The first couple at-bats everything was in the air. I was trying to hit the ball on the ground and get the runs in.” Up in the same spot again in the sixth inning, Marino helped blow the game wide open for the Scotties by hitting another two-run single, this time lacing a shot to left field. The two two-run singles by Marino adds to her team-high hits total this spring that stands now at 26. Marino now has 13 RBI this season after her game-high four RBI affair, which ranks second on the team. Junior third baseman Sofia Peterson leads the Scotties with 16 RBI so far this spring. Freshman center fielder Kaci

Second baseman Erin Hoppe fields the ground ball and throws out the runner at first base. Hoppe had an RBI single in the contest.

Benton recorded her ninth RBI this spring to help get Bordentown on the board first in the second inning with a one-out single. Junior second baseman Erin Hoppe tallied home her ninth run this spring for the Scotties with an RBI single in the sixth inning. Cope capped off the scoring for Bordentown by driving in her second run of the game with an RBI base hit, giving her three hits on the night. Bordentown recorded 17 hits as a team in the victory. “They consistently came out each inning to score runs and made that final score that much better,” said O’Leary. The run support was plenty

enough for sophomore ace Allison Hoppe, who collected eight strikeouts in a complete-game performance in the circle for Bordentown. As her Bordentown squad heads into its season finale on May 28 against Northern Burlington High School, O’Leary hopes the awesome tear that her team has been on will continue with postseason play right around the corner. Bordentown is scheduled to find out its seed for the sectional tournament on May 26. “I’m hoping we can continue to work hard and hit well,” O’Leary said. “Hopefully we can make a good run in the playoffs.”

New Bordentown City commissioners sworn into office as Sciortino appointed new mayor By Steven Bassin Staff Writer

It was a special day for Jennifer Sciortino on May 20 at the Carslake Community Center in Bordentown City. The director of Communications for the New Jersey Treasury Department was sworn in as the new mayor of Bordentown City after receiving the largest amount of votes during the May 11 nonpartisan election. “It’s really inspiring and I’m very honored,” Sciortino said. “It’s something that I’m not taking lightly and I’m ready to get to work.” Sciortino, along with James Lynch and Joe Myers, were elected by the public to be the commissioners of the city for the next four years. According to the election results sent out by Bordentown City Clerk Grace Archer, Sciortino received the most votes to become mayor with 645 ballots. Myers will assume the role of deputy mayor, receiving the second most votes in the municipal

election with 628 ballots. Lynch will serve a ninth term as city commissioner by collecting 608 votes in the election. The Bordentown native has served the community since 1989. Lynch had a special moment take place at the swearing-in ceremony as he took the oath of office with his grandson, Maverick, at his side. When Lynch was sworn into office for the first time in 1989, Lynch’s daughter, Siobhan, whose son is Maverick, was at his side.

The full-circle moment was something Lynch felt symbolized his work in government for the last

32 years. “It means a lot to me and my family,” Lynch said. “We love this

town. It’s very special to us. We always have done what’s best for See COMMISSIONERS, Page 2A

CALENDAR Ongoing

The Burlington County Farmers Market will continue weekly from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays through October at the Burlington County Agricultural Center on Centerton Road in Moorestown. The market features a wide variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables, cheeses, meats, flowers, plants and baked goods, along with an assortment of handmade crafts. Opening Day this year will also feature craft beer sales for the first time. The beer sales are permitted under a new law signed by Gov. Phil Murphy in February that allows the New Jersey Division of Alcohol Beverage Control to issue special seasonal permits to New Jersey breweries or wineries to sell their products at farm markets. Beer sales will be for off-site consumption, though overage adults will be permitted to try a limited number of samples at the market. In addition to shopping opportunities, each market day features live entertainment from area musicians. While COVID-19 capacity limits have been relaxed in recent months, customers and vendors will still be required to wear face masks or face coverings when attending the market.

Working for the public never changes.” Lynch will continue his role as director of Public Safety and Affairs, setting his sights on moving City Hall and the headquarters of the Bordentown City Police Department over to Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte’s historic Point Breeze estate that the city helped purchase earlier this year. He also looks forward to working with D&R Greenway Land Trust and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in helping make the Point Breeze property an accessible state park for city residents and guests. The park Lynch said will be very “environmentally sensitive.” Myers will remain in charge of overseeing the areas of Public Works during his second term in office as director of Public Property, Streets and Water. During his first term, Myers headed up the Bordentown Water Advisory Committee and helped the city’s water system return to compliance after high levels of lead were found in the system just two years ago. He also took charge in leading the city’s new General Parks Committee, which Myers adds will focus on this upcoming year helping improve the accessibility of parks on West Street, Ann Street and Oliver Street. Repaving roads and building better sideways across the city are other goals that Myers has his sights on in the future. Another plan that is in the works for next year is replacing the fourinch water main on Union Street with an eight-inch water main, said Myers. “We have a lot of plans in Public Works this upcoming year,” Myers said. “It’s a great opportunity and privilege to serve the residents of Bordentown City again. The resident-driven approach that we had in the prior administration resonated

with people and I look forward to working closely with the residents in my second term.” Sciortino will take over former Deputy Mayor John Brodowski’s duties as director of Revenue and Finance. The new mayor plans on working closely with the Downtown Bordentown Association to help local businesses “weather” the pandemic. Improving communication lines between local government and residents is another key resolution that Sciortino is looking to find solutions for. New social media channels and weekly newsletters are ideas that Sciortino said she is in the process of implementing for the city. With 25 years of experience working in municipal government and in the state’s treasury department, Sciortino believes that she has the tools to serve as mayor and

Residents of all communities are invited to visit Allentown this summer for a series of special events. “Artist on the Avenue” will be held every second Friday evening from June through September. The first free concert is scheduled for June 11 at 7 p.m. with Sideways Willy performing at Bruno’s One Sweet Ride, 19 S. Main St., according to a press release. Sideways Willy has played classic and contemporary rock in the Allentown area since 2013. The group is made up of local dads happy to be back and making music again. The group’s performance on June 11 will be in honor of their drummer and the former owner of One Sweet Ride, Jim Bruno, who passed away last winter, according to the press release. Bruno’s daughter, Heather, is continuing the musical tradition first given to the community by her dad with a twist: Throughout the free concert, Heather will offer a variety of snacks, picnic foods and treats with all proceeds benefiting the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. Other local small businesses will be on site. Concert-goers will be welcome to browse unique merchandise from The One-Eyed Turtle and In-

spired to Create, and learn about music classes available at Mill Pond Arts, according to the press release. The Allentown Village Initiative (TAVI) is a partner in helping to bring the “Artist on the Avenue” event to the community through Allentown Arts. Allentown Arts will present a free walking tour, “They Came for Freedom – the Story of the Underground Railroad in Allentown,” on June 19 at 10 a.m. in Pete Sensi Park, Main Street. Allentown was a stop on the Underground Railroad, according to the press release. Local historian John Fabiano will tell the story during a free 90-minute walking tour. “They Came for Freedom” will lead participants past historic homes, shops, cemeteries and landmarks which played a part in helping escaped slaves from the South reach freedom in the North. The tour is sponsored by TAVI to commemorate “Juneteenth” – the date in 1865 when Union soldiers reached Galveston, Texas, with news that President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation two-and-a-halfyears earlier, freeing slaves in Confederate states. Until then, news of the Emancipation Proclamation had been withheld and the status quo

of slavery had been maintained in this city of the deep south, according to the press release. The development of the Underground Railroad began in the late 18th Century as a network of secret routes and safe houses used by enslaved African-Americans to escape into free states and Canada. The effort was assisted by abolitionists and other individuals sympathetic to the cause of the escapees. The enslaved individuals who risked escape and those who aided them are collectively referred to as the “Underground Railroad,” according to the press release. Fabiano serves as the executive director of the Monmouth County Historical Commission and is a resident of Allentown. Allentown’s Underground Railroad history is unique due to documented sources of the activity, which are rare because of the secrecy surrounding the effort, according to the press release.

Working toward ‘nature for all’ in New Jersey

ow comfortable are you in the outdoors? Do you feel happy and safe in parks and outdoor spaces, or do you feel unwelcome or uncomfortable? Your answer may depend on the color of your skin. Not everyone feels safe in parks and nature preserves that belong to us all. People of color may feel out of place or, worse, the target of suspicion or hostility. Changing that situation was the aim of a recent discussion on “outdoor equity” led by Black author, storyteller and educator Carolyn Finney. Finney was invited to speak to New Jersey’s land conservation community – a largely white group that works to preserve open space, parks, trails and farmland – about ways to make their work more inclusive of New Jerseyans of all ethnicities and backgrounds. Finney is the author of the book “Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors.” She has backpacked around the world and has seen firsthand that people of color are frequently challenged or questioned when they are out in nature. “For Black people, navigating both city streets and hiking trails can be charged; at worst, they are fraught terrains where we are at the mercy of someone else’s interpretation of our presence,” she wrote in a 2020 essay. “Too often, by default, Black people are perceived as threats to White people’s physical safety.” In turn, that threatens their safety. For example, on the morning of Memorial Day 2020, a Black birder named Christian Cooper grabbed his binoculars and headed for his favorite spot in New York City’s Central Park. Trouble ensued when Cooper asked a woman to leash her loose dog. When she refused, he began filming her with his phone. The woman, who is White, responded by saying she would tell the police that “an African-American man is threatening my life” and then dialing 911. “George Floyd and Christian Cooper exist on a continuum,” Finney told the New Jersey audience via Zoom. “On one end of the continuum, you could die.” The topic of Finney’s talk was “Finding Common Ground: Equitable Access for All to Nature and Preserved Land.” Making New Jersey’s outdoor spaces more inclusive of all races is not easy. The perception of many people of color, Finney noted, is that parks and open space are preserved for wealthy White people. What is needed to change that perception, she said, is a willingness for those in power “to meet people where they are and connect with their humanity.” That means acknowledging historical losses that came when Blacks, Native Americans and other people of color were separated from their land. It means debunking the 19th century doctrine of manifest destiny, the belief that U.S. expansion across the American continent was justified and inevitable. It could mean making reparations for land unjustly taken. “Reparations means repair,” Finney said. “We can find common ground on what repair looks like.” The process won’t be quick; Finney calls it “the long game.” It will also take courage and a willingness by those in power to step out of their comfort zones. “If you are going to look at this honestly, it’s going to shake your world up,” she said. “A lot of people don’t want to do it because it feels crappy and you have to give up some stuff.” But Finney feels encouraged by the simple fact that a conversation is taking place here in the Garden State. “I’ve never seen a door open so wide in my life,” she said. In Mercer County, for example, a coalition of public and private conservation groups has founded the Outdoor Equity Alliance to ensure nature is available to all. Jay Watson, the head of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s land preservation program and one of the alliance’s founding members, said the group’s goal is to make sure all people can enjoy the mental, physical and spiritual benefits of spending time outdoors without fear or feeling unwelcome. The Outdoor Equity Alliance is exploring what the real and perceived barriers are to enjoying nature. For instance, some people might lack transportation to parks and preserves, while others may feel they don’t know enough about the out-

Class Day

y favorite Princeton University graduation event is neither the commencement nor the baccalaureate ceremony, but rather a celebration that is a bit more obscure – and in a class all by itself. It is Class Day, which features no pomp and circumstance, just a lot of soul. A tradition that dates to 1856 and takes place the day before Princeton’s Commencement, Class Day is a lighthearted ceremony organized by seniors to recognize the achievements of their class. Over the years, I have stalked the proceedings (located – in my time – on Cannon Green behind Nassau Hall) by standing on the sidelines outside of the roped seating for members of the graduating class. The ceremonies I have seen featured speakers from very diverse backgrounds and professions, but all sharing a talent for evoking laughter, while dispensing memorable and profound advice about life post- Princeton. This year’s Class Day for the Class of 2021 on May 15 was particularly joyful for me, because I did not have to crane my neck and strain my back or melt in the sun to enjoy the program. It was virtual, and I was able to watch the proceedings with my favorite companion – my Thermos of coffee. Of course, the members of the Class of 2021 were somewhat less joyful about the virtual presentation, but they really rose to the occasion. They produced a first-rate show filled with jokes, memories, and countless thank yous to university staff who made their cam-

pus lives so meaningful and bearable over the past four years. And no one during the entire program asked anyone to unmute. This year’s Class Day speaker was Trevor Noah, author, comedian and host of The Daily Show (now called The Daily Social Distancing Show) – but he didn’t give a speech, like some of his comedian colleagues, who, in the past have graced the Class Day podium, such as Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. He answered well-crafted and thoughtful questions posed by Class Day co-chairs Michael Wang, Morgan Smith and Kamya Yadav. And he lived up to the expectations of all his fans by providing wise, compassionate, never paternalistic, humorous, honest, and, of course, inspiring responses. “Looking forward, what is your greatest hope and your biggest fear for the year that follows?” Wang asked. “My greatest hope is that we will use this time, which is arguably one of the worst periods the world has been in in recent history, to try and transform how we do things,” said Noah, who in 2018 launched The Trevor Noah Foundation, a youth development initiative that empowers youth with access to high-quality education. He said the pandemic also brought into sharper focus society’s fault lines that existed before COVID-19 — unemployment, homelessness and starvation. Calling this a kind of “permanent coronavirus,” he said that he hopes everyone will have more compassion for these populations because they

confronted one or more of these challenges to some degree. That coronavirus, particularly in America, “will merely become a blip on the radar,” Noah said. “My fear is that instead of looking at this as a moment in time when humanity itself was tested and people were forced to think together and move together and be together, it will actually be seen as just another point of fragmentation where people can go off in their different directions and believe whatever they want to believe. I fear that many people will learn nothing from this experience.” As I listened to his words that I wanted to convey immediately to my grandchildren, it occurred to me that the members of the Class of 2021 are particularly fertile ground for his advice. This generation of students has had their lives thus far bookended between two traumatic and transformational events – the attack on Sept. 11, 2001, and the

pandemic. When Sept. 11 occurred nearly 20 years ago, the members of the Class of 2021 were babies, whose lives were deeply affected by the changes, paranoia, and prejudices imposed on society because of the horrors of 9/11. Thinking about this made me appreciate the remarkable accomplishments and composure and (I hate to use that COVID-19 overused word) resilience, demonstrated by the seniors who presented this Class Day program. And I hope they found particular comfort in Trevor Noah’s definition of home. Yadav, an international student from New Delhi, India, asked Noah, who moved from South Africa to the U.S. to pursue his comedy career, about his definition of home: “How do you navigate ‘belongingness?’ ” “Home for me is where my people are,” Noah said. “And what I’ve come to learn is my people can

be anywhere.” His friends — from his childhood, in the comedy world and other parts of his life — keep him centered. “They remind me of who I am. They make me enjoy life with them.” Wearing a Princeton University hoodie for the interview, he continued, “If you can find a group of people who you relate to, who make you aspire to be more, who challenge you, who help you enjoy life and help you through the tough times as well, then I think you’ll find a sense of belonging no matter where you are. Noah had these parting words for the seniors: “I really hope you guys go out and change the world. Don’t let it be the same way it was when you came into it.” Rather than parting words, I prefer to think of his comments as starting words for not only the members of Princeton’s Class of 2021, but also all of us, who are members of the world.
