Counselor honored with prevention award

Author aims to ‘encourage family and unity’

Selfie time!

BY SIDDHARTH MUCCHAL An experience shortly after college led Lawrence High School student assistance counselor Ann DeGennaro to make the move from art therapy to counseling. She hasn’t looked back since. “I was working at a psychiatric hospital, and one night there was a beautiful young girl admitted,” she said. “She had a full scholarship for college, and the night of her graduation, she smoked marijuana for the first time. Perhaps the marijuana was laced, or it induced psychosis, but she was tearing off her own skin, and it was absolutely shocking for me.” The was 30 years ago, but DeGennaro carries the experience with her. It continues to inform her work as a counselor, which was honored last month with the Excellence in Prevention award by the Prevention Coalition of Mercer County for her extensive youth counseling work in substance abuse reduction. The Prevention Coalition of Mercer County, an initiative of the Mercer Council on Alcoholism and Drug Addiction, consists of fellow counselors, treatment providers, and others who are dedicated to reducing substance abuse across Mercer County. Members of the coalition nominate those doing exceptional work in substance abuse reduction, and DeGennaro was chosen for the award. DeGennaro’s has experience See DeGENNARO, Page 6

Best. Tennis. Season. Ever. LHS boys’ tennis squad advances to Tournament of Champions BY RICH FISHER When the Lawrence High boys’ tennis team lost to the Lawrenceville School on April 25, no one really paid much attention since that is what is supposed to happen when a prep power meets a public school team with modest

success. Something happened that day, however, that changed everything. The final score was 3-2, and the Big Red couldn’t pull it out until its second doubles team won 6-3, 5-7, 6-4. The fact that the Cardinals nearly pulled off an upset was not lost on them. “As the season progressed I think right after our Lawrenceville Prep match we really started to believe,” junior first doubles player Sharath Mahadevan said. “Even though we lost, we lost 3-2 to a team like Law-

renceville, which is such a powerhouse. I feel like after that, we gained a lot of confidence and then throughout the rest of the season it kept building and building.” Coach Alex Krajunus would not argue that thought. “It was a very close loss,” Krajunus said. “Hanging in against a top team like Lawrenceville, they realized ‘We really belong here.’ And that gave them the belief to do what they did and they bounced back in a strong way.” See TENNIS, Page 8

Carrie Turansky was looking through Facebook when she stumbled across an interesting image. A friend of hers shared an image of poorly-dressed siblings from an earlier time period. Intrigued, Turansky learned that the siblings shown in the photo were related to her friend, and that they had been taken from England and sent to Canada between the years 1869 and 1939. The original Facebook post was from the British Home Children Advocacy and Research Association, and this is where Turansky first started learning about these children and their stories. Based on her research on the British Home Children child migration scheme, Turansky, a Lawrence resident, published her 20th book, No Ocean Too Wide, last month through WaterBrook and Multnomah, a division of Penguin Random House. “It will give people a heart for children and to know how chilSee TURANSKY, Page 10

Burlington to open new store Burlington Stores has announced that it will open a new store this fall in Nassau Park Pavilion in West Windsor, and the Lawrence Shopping Center location will remain open. From the time Nassau Park opened until 2016, that location had housed a Kohl’s department store. In more recent years, the space was occupied by a Restoration Warehouse outlet. The Restoration Hardware outlet recently relocated to the former Toys ‘R’ Us location on U.S. 1 in Lawrence. Burlington Stores already has a location on U.S. 1 several miles southwest of Nassau Park, in the Lawrence Shopping Center. A spokesperson for Burlington Stores told the Lawrence Gazette that the Lawrence store will remain in operation after the Nassau Park store opens. Burlington Stores, formerly known as Burlington Coat Factory, will take up 37,846 square feet. This will be the 34th location in New Jersey for the discount retailer, whose headquarters are located in nearby Burlington Township. They report operating 684 stores nationwide.

Add civics lessons to curriculum, voters say Our next election to choose the President of the United States is on November 3, 2020. President Trump intends to run for re-election. He may face primary challengers, and the Democratic Party currently has 23 contenders for their party’s nomination. What does this mean to a new voter? How can a person who has just turned 18 make sense of this complex political scene? The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting and protecting voting rights. In working closely this spring with Lawrence High School student leaders, we registered up to 50 new voters in one morning. Unfortunately, a significant number of students had little knowledge of what registration and voting is all about, perhaps because civics courses are rarely taught in New Jersey

schools. This letter is a call to action. We encourage school administrators, guidance counselors, teachers, students and our state legislators to restore comprehensive civics education to the school curriculum and the educational experience. Marcia Steinberg, Lawrence Margaret Rich, Ewing Steinberg and Rich are members of the League of Women Voters of Lawrence Township. The Lawrence Gazette welcomes letters to the editor.

DeGENNARO continued from Page 1 counseling a diverse group, ranging from psychiatric patients, to prisoners and those suffering mental illnesses. After her experience with the young patient, DeGennaro, who graduated from The College of New Jersey with a degree in art therapy, decided to pursue a master’s degree and work with children and teens in substance abuse prevention. “I never want to see that happen again,” she said. DeGennaro went back to TCNJ and earned her master’s in counseling in 1988. She took her first job in Lakewood, before moving back to TCNJ as the Alcohol and Drug Education Coordinator, where she focused on substance abuse reduction outreach and programming. During her 18 years at TCNJ, she expanded to a broader portfolio as the Wellness Director. After her tenure at TCNJ ended, DeGennaro transitioned to working with high school age youth. “Through my work, I was seeing increasingly more kids having a difficult time establishing coping skills,” she said. She started at Montgomery High School, and began her work speaking on healthy decision making. DeGennaro then worked at Livingston High School, before finally moving to Lawrence High School. “I’ve been working here for five years now, and I really love what I do,” she said. “I work predominantly with high risk youth with difficult backgrounds, those battling substance abuse. However, I’ve started to see students with all types of issues, ranging from dating rela-

It’s a wonderful feeling to be in an environment where I feel like I can have an impact, because the kids are so embracing of diversity.” At Lawrence, DeGennaro channels

her goals and missions through various programs. A majority of her day is one-on-ones with students, working on issues of family dynamics, substance abuse and other issues. She also organizes student groups, such as a selfesteem group and an LGBTQ group. She conducts faculty workshops called ‘A Day in the Life of Your Student’ to help teachers make the school a “safe space” and help them understand the challenges and difficulties students may face. DeGennaro, along with assistant principal Alyson Fischer, helps facilitate the

CORE team, a group of administrators, nurses and faculty members that organize programs to help create awareness for issues of substance abuse and, more recently, mental health issues. On the day the program was introduced, the teacher-mentors all wore shirts that said “Need Help?” in order to show students the various adult resources they have. DeGennaro also runs a peer education program called Change In Action, where student allies educate community members about teen dating violence, stress, depression and vaping, amongst other issues. “They’re a great group, since they go out there and challenge their peers to think differently,” she said. Fischer says CIA is now one of the school’s largest clubs. “It’s all studentdirected, and they come up with projects and concepts to influence the school in a positive way,” she said. These ideas range from fundraisers for environmental groups to voter registration drives and drug and alcohol awareness. “A lot of these students may not be necessarily involved in other clubs, but [DeGennaro] really has a knack for encouraging students to come out of their shell and try something new,” Fischer said. One of the main challenges DeGennaro and other counselors face in their work is educating students about substance use and abuse. DeGennaro says that while the adult brain is fully developed and can make better decisions, adolescent brains are still developing

and can be susceptible to significant damage from using these substances. In recent times, school staff are increasingly focused on potential dangers of electronic cigarettes. While evidence shows that a majority of youth at Lawrence do not use e-cigarettes, use of the devices is on the rise nationalwide. Last year, DeGennaro conducted a social norms survey that was filled out by close to 800 of the 1,200 students at Lawrence High. According to the results 80 percent of students had never used electronic cigarettes. “However, I can’t be sure the number is the same today,” DeGennaro said. “Most of our kids are making good choices, but the population on the fence is worrying. It’s very challenging with high school kids, because they often talk about using substances, while kids enjoying natural highs don’t go around talking about it.” Because of this, DeGennaro is focusing on developing a social norm supporting natural highs instead. A key event towards this goal is the Haunted High Community Fest, which has been held for the past four years. Previously, the event used to be held indoors, but DeGennaro pitched the idea of hosting the event outdoors, followed by a carnival at the football field, and focusing on building a social norm of enjoying natural highs. Six student organizations helped organize the event, and the carnival included 16 games, each with a prize that included a social norm message. Overall, with over 100 student volunteers, the event raised more than $4,000. In light of recent student suicides in Mercer County, DeGennaro has also made it her goal to “establish an environment where students can feel safe and comfortable to talk to anyone in the building, especially adults. Therefore, our teachers actually manned the carnival booths that night. We do this so that students can see that they don’t need to go out on weekends and use substances to change my mindset, that they can actually have a good time doing something fun.” In DeGennaro’s line of work, she has faced various difficulties in working with students and parents. “The first big challenge for me is helping students find the moment where they understand that their behavior is not working for them,” she said. “It’s the biggest challenge in substance abuse because kids just don’t get it, and it’s quite frustrating. I try to get them to see it differently. I do a lot of harm reduction, to get them to understand and see the danger. “My parents that I work with are traditionally really great, and have been pretty open to working with me. However, the most frustrating part is that parents don’t participate in our programs on the issue. They just don’t want to hear about it, until something happens.” To help develop these relationships, DeGennaro always maintains an open,

nonjudgemental approach. As senior Gabby Toatley noted, DeGennaro’s demeanor has helped students open up to her. “If I have anything going on, family or friendship issues, she’s always opened her door to me, and talks about everything that happens with no judgment,” she said. “If I don’t want to talk about it, she’ll just offer her support and be there for me, whereas other people would try to get it out of me. A lot of my friends are closed off as well, but they’re a lot more open in talking with her. If another adult isn’t there for them, they can go to her. “I think she’s a great woman, she’s an inspiration to me and I really look up to her. In my life I don’t have a lot of adults who’ve really supported or pushed me to do well in or outside school, but she’s been like a mother figure and really supported me.” Despite the difficulties in her role, DeGennaro remains inspired by the students she has worked with in the past. “Seeing the kids that do change, maturing and making significant improvements, is truly inspirational,” she said. “It’s wonderful to see them reach that ‘aha’ moment, and then be able to go to college or work a trade. That’s always the most rewarding thing, and that’s why I do what I do.” To help share the power of these stories, DeGennaro is working on a book for students and parents. Each chapter will focus on the life of a different student as they make their way through the school day and overcome their own obstacles or seek help. “My goal is for teenagers to read it, or an adult, to make it a story that people are going to want to read,” she said. “Through the story, there are so many wonderful messages coming through. If they have hope, they have opportunity, they can succeed.” As Fischer noted, DeGennaro’s attitude of continuously innovating and supporting students has made a big difference in the LHS community. For students suspended for drug or alcohol use, instead of just sending them home, DeGennaro helped create a program where these students can receive both education and counseling on drug and alcohol use during the school day. For students caught with vapes or other e-cigarette devices, instead of just going to detention, DeGennaro works with these students after school to teach them about the concerns with vaping. “She’s one of the most passionate people you’ll ever meet, and she just radiates that passion for helping students,” Fischer said. “She goes above and beyond to find creative and innovative ways to prevent and educate students from having to go down the route of needing substances. She’s been extremely proactive on the local and state level, advocating for funding for kids, and for prevention.”

‘Seeing the kids that do change, maturing and making significant improvements, is truly inspirational.’ –LHS counselor Ann DeGennaro

TENNIS continued from Page 1 Strong might be too light of a term. From that point on, the Cardinals: ·Beat longtime nemesis Hopewell Valley to win the Colonial Valley Conference’s Valley Division title. ·Defeated Holmdel 3-2, in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II semifinals, avenging a sectional final loss from two years ago ·With the stakes even higher in the rematch, beat Hopewell yet again in the CJ II finals to win the program’s first sectional championship. ·On May 22, reached the state finals and won the state title for the first time by defeating Haddonfield, 4-1, and Demarest, 3-2. ·Not content to settle for just a Group II crown, toppled Tenafly, 3-2 for the program’s first Tournament of Champions win. The run ended with a 5-0 loss to Montgomery, which went on to win its third straight TOC crown. But even in that match, several Cardinals put up good fights. “The fact we were at the Tournament of Champions, playing the number one team in the state, it was just an honor to be on the same court with them,” senior second doubles Adi Rajagopalan said. With an 18-3 record it was, simply stated, the greatest boys’ tennis season in LHS history. “It was ver y, ver y cool,” Krajunus said. “It was a little bit of a monkey off our backs, so to speak. I’ve been around the team as an assistant or head coach for five years. I always

So we didn’t have the chance to show ever ybody what we could do because we always had some tough

competition holding us back a little. To get past those hurdles alone was great, but then to keep going was really special.” That was what was so impressive. Lawrence could have been happy just to win a division, or a sectional, or get

to the state finals. But they kept winning until they met the unquestioned top public school in the state. The Cards were not predicted to go as far as they did, but they were never intimidated. “Coming into any match we had a

fresh mindset,” senior second doubles Nikhil Kotta said. “The team we played, it didn’t matter how good they were. We just want to put our best on the court.” “When you’re the favorite there’s so much pressure on you,” Mahadevan said. “Everybody’s like ‘They’re gonna win, they have to win.’ When you’re the underdog everyone says ‘Oh they’re gonna lose.’ It just lights a fire under you like ‘Hey, I’m gonna prove them wrong.’” They kept proving it, as the number of doubters shrunk as the amount of huge Cardinal wins grew. The final proof of their ability was winning a TOC match. “Beating Tenafly really showed we belonged there,” freshman first doubles Paraj Goyal said. “People thought ‘They got through, but they didn’t have to play (West W indsor-Plainsboro) South and North, or Montgomery to win a state championship.’ But beating Tenafly showed we belonged.” His playing partner agreed, as Mahadevan added, “That showed people we’re with the top of the top. It’s not like we got there by a fluke or we’re lucky and got a lucky draw. We were there because we were meant to be there.” They were indeed. The program has been steadily building and it started under previous coach Pat Tarrant, who invoked a no-cut policy and began to get more players to come out. Things slowly began to build under Krajunus as the Cards went 16-6 and reached the CJ II finals in 2017 and went 14-6 but lost to Hopewell in the sectional quarterfinals last year. This season, they were aided by the arrival of two brothers from Ecuador, as talented sophomore Alejandro Jacome and junior Ronaldo Jacome took over at first and second singles. That allowed Ram Laxminarayan to excel at third singles, while Goyal-Mahadevan and KottaRajagopalan wreaked havoc at doubles. “I heard in the summer they were coming but I didn’t know how good they were,” Kotta said. “I thought ‘OK maybe it will be another Lawrence year, we’ll get a little bit better.’ As soon as I saw them on the court, it wasn’t just how good they played, but that they pushed the rest of us to play even much better. Practices had become very crazy.” It helped that they were able to mesh right away with the returning players. “They’re just really great kids, they’ve taken to the team very well and the team’s taken to them,” Krajunus said. “It’s just a pleasure to have them. Just having that top talent come in at one and two, I got to keep other players at third singles or doubles. That was really beneficial because the players had another year against similar quality opponents

at similar positions, and I think you saw how that paid off by how much success those positions had.” And while the loss to Lawrenceville was a turning point, there were other signature wins that kept things rolling in the right direction. “It all started at Hopewell when we won the Valley,” Kotta said. “After that we got hope. And then against Holmdel, the two doubles had lost. It was almost like all hope was gone, but the three singles all pulled through and we started getting more hope with how far we could go.” It was the doubles turn to play hero in the state finals, as Kotta-Rajagopalan pulled out a 1-6, 7-5, 6-4 win to clinch the 3-2 victory. “That felt amazing,” Rajagopalan said. “We didn’t actually realize that it was all down to us so it was just an amazing feeling to win it for the team.” And when Lawrence talks about the “team” there is a definite emphasis on the word. “There were two keys to this year,” Mahadevan said. “One for the big lock, one for the little lock. Our coach is the one for the little lock, he brings us all together. He is a mentor, he helps all of us, brings all of us up. “The key to the big lock is our whole team. The matches that we won, our team is behind us. Our whole team is supporting us, the JV and everybody. I feel that with that support we get even more pumped up and we feel like we need to win.” Athletic Director Greg Zenerovitz feels that tight-knit atmosphere can all be traced back to Krajunus. “Alex is just great,” Zenerovitz said. “The credit goes to the culture he’s kind of developed and put in place. It’s all about the team and that’s really helped them. After the matches it’s not just we won at second singles, or third singles, it’s the whole program that won, and the support they’re showing. That’s one thing that’s great to be around. That’s what we’ll reflect upon. A lot of kids feel sorry they’re not playing, but not this tennis team. They’re rooting our players on. That’s not an easy job to instill that culture and philosophy. It’s helpful to have. “When you’re out there watching matches and you see 25 Cardinals rooting their teammates on, that definitely helps in these tight matches. These matches have been so close and could have gone either way, but the fact we have this culture, the kids are totally into it. Even the JV players were so happy with what’s going on out there. It’s really been fun. It’s been a great ride. I’m really proud of the way they were able to accomplish those things, and represent Lawrence and the community and really, all of Mercer County.”

“When you’re the underdog, everyone says, ‘Oh, they’re gonna lose.’ It just lights a fire under you like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna prove them wrong.’” –LHS boys’ tennis player Sharath Mahadevan

PLANNING FOR TOOTH EMERGENCIES Academy Dental is a warm, inviting SPAthemed dentist facility in Hamilton, and is rated as one of the best places by Hulafrog for dental treatment. Dr. Navleen Thind, D.D.S. is a trusted dentist who practices adults and kids’ dentistry, along with her colleagues Dr. Steven Reff D.D.S., FICOI, (Dental Implants), Dr. Pankaj Puri D.D.S. (Orthodontics) and Dr. Gunjan Parmar D.D.S. and Dr. Christine Pereira, D.D.S. Today, Dr. Thind is sharing her four top tips to help you manage dental emergencies, and importantly, plan ahead so you are best equipped to handle one:

1. FIRST THINGS FIRST: Choosing a dentist, and trusting them to care for your happy, healthy smile is an important decision most families make. First things that come to mind are if you are adequately covered should you need any dental work. Selecting a dental insurance plan which has a wider selection of dentists can already set you far ahead. Certain plans limit acceptance at a specific dental practice, generally known as DMO or HMO plans. In comparison, PPO plans allow patients to visit any doctor who is in their network. In addition, most such plans also have out of network benefits, ultimately allowing patients to virtually see any dentist practice. When in an emergency, it is utmost important to have as much flexibility in who you can see for urgent care, so making the right decisions for yourself and your family are critical. Planning ahead, making the right choices and investing wisely in the selection of coverage that your family needs can yield great success later. 2. EMERGENCIES ON VACATION: Spring time is here, and soon you will be travelling for your next vacation. While away from home, it is important to be ready to handle any dental emergency. Chances are that travelling out of state, your insurance may have limitations, and it may be harder to find a dentist that can provide care. Supplemental dental insurance for travel can be a way to be prepared, and it is good to check out any dentists which accept your supplementary insurance should the need arise. However, having your family dentist reachable via online, phone or social media can be a great way to still get some advice, or tips while travelling. Keep your dentist’s emergency line handy, and be sure to like their social media pages so they know you well in advance when you need

them! Packing a small medical kit with some pain medicines, and gum ointment may help as an urgent palliative resource.

3. DENTIST VS EMERGENCY ROOM: A natural first response to any dental emergency is to call your family dentist for an urgent appointment. Most dental practices have limited office hours, with no late evening hours or weekend clinical days. This limits the availability of such practice to patients when they need them the most. Often, patients may call around for any other dentists who may accommodate them. In most situations, the hospital emergency room is the only way to seek urgent help. While helpful in terms of receiving urgent palliative care, most emergency rooms do not staff a dentist. After an expensive visit and long wait – patients are most certainly recommended to see a dentist as a follow-up for treatment. Academy Dental is open 7 days a week, which offers patients in Hamilton, Robbinsville, Lawrenceville and surrounding areas a great advantage to seek urgent care. Offering online appointment scheduling 24 hours a day provides great mental peace to patients that they have a secured spot to see the dentist at their earliest convenience. We welcome patients to check our extremely high levels of service and care, and benefit from our expanded coverage.

4. SECRET SAUCE (CONTINUING CARE): Routine dental visits are key, and can help detect problems early so they can be addressed. Continuing care is the most reliable way to stay abreast of your oral health, and be informed about any concerns that need immediate attention. Dr. Thind provides her patients counselling on how to care for their teeth in between their regular, bi-annual visits. Her team of excellent Dental Hygienists are caring, and ensure all patients are provided with the same, gentle care and attention. Getting healthy and staying healthy prevents undue stress and expense that a dental emergency visit may involve. Regular appointment reminders from Academy Dental via text, phone and Birthday Postcards provide our patients a fairly easy way to be connected, and attend routine checkups. Check with your family dentist if they are also setup to keep yourself informed and are vested in your healthy smiles the same way as you are!

stor y “pour out” of her, and admitted that she was inexperienced writing fiction at the time. “All I knew is that I had a great imagination,” Turansky said. The first time she attended a writer’s conference, she saw a red slash across the copy of a chapter she had shared with an editor, and was told to work on her writing. The experience caused Turansky to temporarily doubt her abilities, until she started to learn more through creative writing books. Taking the time to focus on learning how to write creatively, she went on to join the American Christian Romance Writers, now the American Christian Fiction Writers, a professional organization dedicated to Christian fiction. Through ACFW, Turansky joined a critique group that consisted of five women. Together they shared their work and provided feedback for each

other. All women had not yet published their work, but would publish their works in the future. “I really recommend critique groups as a way to really polish your writing and to build friendships that are supportive and helpful,” she said. Turansky has been honored for her work with the following awards: the ACFW Carol Award, the Crystal Globe Award, and the International Digital Award. As for the future, Turansky will continue the story of the McAlister family. It will take place 10 years after No Ocean Too Wide, following World War I, and focus on siblings Garth and Grace. When looking back on the success she’s had over her career, and considering that she’s publishing her 20th novel, she said, “it’s encouraging, and I’m grateful that I’ve had these opportunities.”

3rd graders move full STEAM ahead

The survey says. . .

Get insight into possible careers

the event as all principals and 3rd grade teachers worked together to make it happen. The parents shared their expertise about engineering, communications, robotics, technology, math, product management, art, and music. The common theme touched on is that you need to have a passion for what you do, and to not be afraid of trying new things and making mistakes.

What technology will you invent? When you graduate from high school and college and enter the workforce, how will you prepare for a job title that doesn’t exist today?

Parents sharing their insight were Michael O’Boyle, Jason Rapport, Harsha Meda, Scott Johns, John Rannou, Krishna Srinivasan, and Marc St. Pierre. Companies represented were Princetel, Princeton University, Verizon, Comcast, Digital Atelier, IBM, and Mercer County Computer Service. Additionally, Joaquin Guterriez, 10 yr. old son (5th grade) of Marisol Guterriez, Ben Franklin 3rd grade teacher, demonstrated his DJ skills using his high technology keyboard.

These thought-provoking questions are just a couple seeds planted at our first STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) Career Event held at the end of May. District parents in STEAM fields challenged, informed, and inspired students in each 3rd grade class at all four elementary schools to pursue careers in STEAM.

Answers what we are doing well and on what we should improve

t the beginning of March, the district issued a plea to staff, parents, students in grades 4-12, and the Lawrence community at large to give us input about our schools, to inform our ongoing efforts to improve and create excellence for all. Research gathered from the survey will advise us as we begin drafting our new strategic plan in the next school year. To get the feedback, we used a tool called “thoughtexchange.” We launched the exchange with the following question to discover different perspectives and inform our decisions on this important topic: What are some things our schools are doing well and what can we focus on in order to improve? Survey participants totaled 1,275 people who expressed 1,396 thoughts. After a person responded to the survey question, they then were prompted to “rate” others’ responses, as to whether or not, on a scale of 1-5 stars, they agreed with the others’ viewpoints or not. Participants entered 64,166 ratings. (continued page 3)

Take a stroll down Lawrence’s Broadway scene of this past year’s musical offerings. . .

New school year brings building leadership changes As students return to school in September 2019, a visitor to Lawrence Intermediate School (LIS) may find the principal greeting students as they enter the building. Or in the office meeting with a parent. At the same time.

This is possible because, at a special meeting on May 15, 2019, the Lawrence Board of Education (BOE) appointed two principals, Thomas Toohey and Alyson Fischer, to co-lead LIS. Each person will have equal, full responsibilities and final decision-making capabilities The Lawrence High School theater troupe performed of a principal’s administrative position. With a special Mamma Mia! education background, Toohey will have a focus in that area. Fischer will be closely related to general education.

and Athletics. As LHS assistant principal, Fischer led the school’s character education, wellness, and mental health initiatives. As athletic director, she started a Student Leadership Summit, taught bullying and hazing workshops, and led the design committee for the district’s two new turf fields.

With almost 900 students and 121 staff members for Thomas Toohey and Alyson Fischer grades 4-6, LIS is the second largest of seven schools within Lawrence Township Public Schools (LTPS). Fischer holds a BA from The College of Through the end of the 2018-2019 school New Jersey and an MA from Georgian Court year in June, one principal and one assistant University. She is pursuing a doctoral degree principal led the school. at Rider University. Fischer is married and Toohey and Fischer replace LIS principal Cynthia Westhead who retired, effective June 30, 2019.

LIS’s new administrative structure calls for Toohey to be a liaison for 4th grade, Fischer a liaison for 6th grade, and an assistant principal a liaison for 5th grade. Amy Amiet was the LIS assistant principal. She has a new administrative role within LTPS beginning in the next school year. Thus, the district will post the job opening to fill the LIS assistant principal position. “I have clearly heard from our school and the Lawrence community that more leadership is needed at LIS at such a critical time for our students,” shared Ross Kasun, Lawrence superintendent. “The new LIS administrative structure reflects our commitment to excellence. I understand that there may be concerns and challenges about adding a new administrative position to the budget. However, with a reconfiguration of our administrative structure, we are able to incorporate the changes with no budget increase.” Prior to coming to LTPS in 2011, Fischer taught social studies at Jackson Memorial High School. Until June 30th, she was an assistant principal at Lawrence High School (LHS) and has held the position of LTPS Director of Health, Physical Education,

has three children.

Toohey began his education career at Rumson-Fairhaven Regional High School as a special education and history teacher. His first administrative position began in 2012 in Highlands, Atlantic Highlands, and Henry Hudson as the Tri-District Supervisor of Special Education. Presently, Toohey is the Director of Special Services for the Hazlet Township Public School District where he coordinates instructional, paraprofessional, nursing, related services providers, and child study team services across eight buildings. Toohey holds a BA with a double major in Politics and Economics from Salve Regina University and an MA in Urban Educational Leadership from New Jersey City University. He is pursuing a Doctorate of Educational Leadership at Monmouth University and plans to defend his dissertation in July. Toohey is married and has two sons. Also at their May 15th special meeting, the BOE appointed a third principal for the coming school year. Amy Amiet takes the helm as principal of Eldridge Park School (EPS) as she replaces EPS principal Kathy Robbins who retired June 30th. Amiet’s education career spans 16 years. She has served in Lawrence since 2006 as (continued page 4)

unlikely source kept it alive. In the first 31 years Joe McLaughlin coached track and field at Notre Dame High School, the Irish sent at least one representative to the NJSIAA Meet of Champions. Year 32 was looking grim, but the standard of excellence was kept alive by an oft-injured athlete who did not even start the sport until last year. But senior Jerry Wilson came through, hoisting the javelin a personalbest 161-feet, 8-inches to take third place in the Non-Public A Championship.

The UCL is a crucial Open to players ages 3-14, all skill levels muscle that holds things together at the elbow. “It was two freak accidents,” Wilson said. “On my left side a helmet hit me right there, and on the right side I was going to hit the quarterback and I

started to fall and put my arm down to catch myself and wound up tearing the UCL.” Wilson was able to return in time to play 12 basketball games during his junior season, but his entire senior year in hoops was wiped out due to the injury. Needless to say, there were some moments he felt like giving up. “Yeah, I did,” he said. “Junior year I was like ‘Man, should I even play foot-

ball my senior year?’ I wound up playing and getting re-injured.” That didn’t make his mental outlook much better. “It was a struggle at first, it was really hard,” Wilson said. “My parents helped me out through it a lot and my grandma always gave me words of encouragement” Fortunately, he had discovered track as a junior and was able to salvage this school year with one final athletic season. “Football was my first love as a sport,” said Wilson, who played linebacker, tight end and defensive end. “I hoped to play college football but I was struck with the injury bug. When I was younger I used to play baseball. I always had a strong arm, my dad used to coach track so finally, junior year he talked me into coming out for the team.” Big Jerry wasn’t the only one bugging his son. “He was always working out for those other sports,” McLaughlin said. “I was hounding him to come out, and he finally did.” Wilson had some decent success in javelin last year (he also throws discus), taking fourth in the Mercer Coaches Classic and the Mercer County Championships. He had an off-day at the NonPublic South sectionals, however, throwing a 135-8 and finishing ninth after hitting a 149-4 in the county meet. Still, it was a solid year for a guy just learning how to throw a long skinny pole and a flat piece of hard rubber. “It was really weird trying to get the technique down,” Wilson said. “Mostly

the steps. That was the hardest thing to get down for both. Once I started to really pick it up, I started to work extra time after school and after practice; and I was just having fun with it.” He expanded his javelin approach this year to actually running before throwing, and finally got comfortable by mid-season. “Last year I was throwing off a threestep,” he said. “This year I learned the run-up so I was working on my run-up the entire year and I really started getting it down pat near the middle of the year. Coach said I’d probably add another 10, 12 feet to my throws if I started the run-up.” Coming into the season, however, Wilson was uncertain how to approach things. “I really didn’t know what to think,” he said. “Part of me was like ‘You can go out and have a big season,’ and the other part was ‘Man, you’re injured right now so take it easy.’” It helped that he followed doctor’s orders while recovering from the injury. “As long as I did what the doctor was saying and truly believed in myself, and as long as I just worked out and worked hard, took the Advil I was supposed to take, I knew I could get myself back to where I wanted to be,” Wilson said. He ended up having a pretty strong season, taking fourth in the Mercer Coaches Classic and county meet, finishing third in the sectionals with a thenPR 159-2, and setting a new PR of 161-8 the following week at states. “That says a lot for him after what he’d

been through,” McLaughlin said. “I felt horrible for the kid. He basically missed his entire senior season for football and basketball, so I was so happy for him to make the Meet of Champions.” And so was Wilson “It was very exciting and very unexpected, especially after the injury,” he said. “It was a pretty pleasant surprise. It was really fun to see the best in the state.” The moment proved a bit overwhelming, however, as Wilson finished 29th out of 30 competitors with a throw of 152-6. McLaughlin noted that was the distance he averaged most of the year, and he just happened to uncork a huge throw at states. Wilson wasn’t buying it. “I would say it was just a bad day,” he said. “I would say I was supposed to go up past 161. I was pretty nervous, there were a lot of people out there and a lot of excitement going on.” In the end, however, Wilson gained enough confidence to try and walk on to Rowan University’s team next year. “I haven’t even talked to (the coach) yet,” he said. “But everyone thinks I have a good shot, especially because of how the season ended. I ended on a pretty high note so I’m just gonna take that and run with it. I’m very proud of myself right now, especially playing through adversity with the injury; and having all the stuff to do with graduation and senior year and still being able to participate at a high level at track & field.” And let’s not forget keeping the streak alive.
