Giving back

Second act career

Bark in action

New CEO of Dodge Foundation grew into role as philanthropist

Amy Chu left her corporate job to write comic books

By MiCHele AlPeRin For Tanuja Dehne, giving back to her community has been a defining theme in her life — from Girl Scout projects and prison tutoring, to pro bono work representing people suffering from disabilities and terminal illnesses, and finally to being a representative on nonprofit boards. Dehne, who recently became the fourth president and CEO of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, reflects on what she has gained from a lifetime of giving back. “I learned that I received so much more than I ever gave. I learned to have empathy and be an empathic listener, to cultivate compassion and kindness, and the importance of our shared humanity.” In her new role at the foundation, established in 1974, Dehne, a West Windsor resident, will be part of an organization that in itself focuses on giving back, through its mission of “supporting arts, education, environment, informed communities, and poetry to connect communities and influence social change to achieve an equitable New Jersey.” The foundation, Dehne says, “is empowering communities See DEHNE, Page 14

Rising through the ranks Former North golf standout has dreams of making the PGA Tour By Justin Feil Ryan Siegler wants to join the PGA Tour. More importantly, he believes in his ability to live out his dream and become just the second West Windsor-area product to make the PGA.

It’s not a lifelong dream, but rather one that has been building for less than a decade. The goal took a big step toward reality when the 2012 High School North graduate qualified for the 2020 Korn Ferry Tour, the step below and the most direct path to the PGA Tour. “It goes back to improving,” Siegler said. “For the last seven or eight years, I’ve gotten better and better. I’ve been around those types of guys. I feel like my game is good enough that I

can play with anybody. If I can do it at the right time, I can achieve what I want to achieve.” Siegler graduated from Towson University in 2016 and played as an amateur that year before turning pro in 2017. He played 14 events in 2018 and nine events in 2019 on the China Tour, and his status and performances allowed him to bypass the pre-qualifying stage of the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying Tournament, also known as See SIEGLER, Page 12

For as often as Amy Chu has moved—among other places, she’s called Boston, Iowa and Hong Kong home before settling into West Windsor in 2003—it’s probably not surprising that she tried on numerous professional hats before her true calling finally found her. Chu fancied a future in astrophysics during her undergrad years at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, laughingly recalling how that dream was thwarted by the realization that she’s “basically the worst at physics.” She studied architecture in college but never saw herself as an architect. She considered journalism and advertising. Then her MBA from Harvard Business School led to a life as a management consultant; while she enjoyed it, it just never grabbed her by the heart. Chu’s fans already know where she’s spent the past few years of her new life; those unfamiliar with her second-act career can see her passion play out in the pages of the Poison Ivy, Deadpool, Red Sonja, and Wonder Woman (just to name a few) comics that she’s been See CHU, Page 10

out town—including the controversial move to put armed police officers in our schools, over the concerns of our teens, educators, mental health professionals, and lawyers. I’ve witnessed them drag their feet on common-sense environmental initiatives, like Mayor Marathe’s recent veto of the single-use plastic bag ordinance--despite the broad support for the ordinance within West Windsor, and legal standing from the dozens of NJ municipalities that have passed similar ordinances. I’ve observed the Mayor’s inaction in creating a 2020 Census Complete Count committee for West Windsor, signaling that it isn’t his priority that our growing town-—full of immigrants and children—is properly counted and receives the government dollars from formula grants that we deserve.

that local community is divorced from our state and national dialogue--a clever fiction that has been propagated within West Windsor, to our detriment. To be clear, our new council has only one minority member, three members with no policy experience, and is 80% Republican. The one registered Democrat, Gawas, went lockstep with the platform of her Republican slatemates, a platform that did not deviate from that of our Republican mayor. How can a council with little diversity, no Democratic values, and limited policy-making experience represent West Windsor-—a community that is around 50% non-white, that votes over 70% Democrat in state and federal races, and that values education and expertise? I sincerely hope our new Council will live up to the civic ideals of representative democracy and proactive and informed policy-making. But the odds are not in their favor, and we will need to maintain public scrutiny of their work. Shin-Yi Lin Lin was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat on West Windsor council in November.

Hamilton thanks residents

I can truly say that when I took the oath to serve this township I had no idea what lay ahead and what an important job this would be. And now, at the end of my term, I am humbled by how lucky I was to have had this opportunity. It has been my pleasure to advocate for issues that directly affect our township and our residents, and above all, to fulfill my role

as a check and balance in our form of government. I am particularly thankful to everyone who has guided me, provided constructive advice and encouragement, and helped me understand the issues that I was addressing as a councilperson. I recall a particular conversation with a friend who cautioned me to remember that I am on camera and should try and keep my facial expressions more neutral. I also loved watching our township attorney cringe when I occasionally used some colorful language. I have a tremendous respect for our career employees who serve this town with professionalism and expertise, and for the residents who volunteer their time serving on our township’s boards and commissions. Without their efforts, West Windsor would look like a very different place. My greatest thanks goes to Paul Pitluk and Marvin Gardner, who gave me a chance, believed in me and have been a wealth of information about this township, its history (and its politics). Both have shown me great kindness, honesty and have set the bar high for how best to serve this town. I ask that you get involved, check out council agendas on the township website, ask questions and share your ideas. I can promise you that volunteering for this town will be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences you will ever have. Ayesha Hamilton Hamilton is a former member of West Windsor Council whose term ended on Dec. 31.

Little Free Pantry at West Windsor Arts Center Send Hunger Packing WW-P and the West Windsor Arts Council have joined together to offer a Little Free Pantry outside the West Windsor Arts Center. Little Free Pantry is similar to the concept of a Little Free Library—a freestanding structure where people can leave and take books. A Little Free Pantry was set up at the Princeton Junction train station earlier this year. At the pantry, non-perishable foods replace the books. “Food insecurity affects many families and individuals who live in our local communities,” states a press release sent out by West Windsor Township. It adds that more than 100 children in the WW-P School District are provided low-cost or free lunches each school day through the National School Lunch Program.

“While all of us are susceptible to hard times, we as a community can help by providing what we can,” says the release. “That is where the Little Free Pantry will help—by making nonperishable foods available to those who need it 24/7.” Doreen Garelick, a board member of the West Windsor Arts Council and a member of the SHuP WW-P brought the idea of having a Little Free Pantry to the attention of both organizations and provided the re-purposed, metal, newspaper box that serves as the pantry container. Artist Ryan Gilleece, a WWAC teacher, brought SHuP WW-P team’s design concept for the box to life with an artistic sketch and then oversaw the painting of the box during the West Windsor Arts Council’s recent Autumn Arts Afternoon festival. More than 20 community members of all ages participated. The Little Free Pantry is located near the parking lot of the West Windsor Arts Center. The SHuP WW-P pantry will also be placed on the official Little Free Pantry at littlefreepantry.org. SHuP WW-P is a program of Mercer Street Friends that was started about 2.5 years ago in the WW-P School District. Through this program, on Friday afternoons during the school year, weekend food is placed in the backpacks of food insecure children in grades K-6. “It has been found that children who regularly do not get enough nutritious food frequently have behavioral, emotional and academic problems; this program has been found to make a difference,” states the news release.

CHU continued from Page 1 writing since her debut in the comic book world. Her newest graphic novel pairs her writing chops with artist Janet K. Lee’s illustrations in Sea Sirens, a two-part young-adult story that aims to entertain as much as it educates through the tale of a Vietnamese-American girl, her talking cat and the underwater war they find themselves embroiled in. “It’s a feel-good story with a message of good and bad,” she says. “There is a scene about how you can’t judge a book by its cover. The protagonist intervenes in a war between the mermaids and the serpents, and it turns out to be a huge misunderstanding all because of assumptions. There’s some teaching in there because kids tend to pick up on the lessons.” Bringing decades of lived-in experiences and knowledge cultivated through her wide array of previous occupations, interests and areas of study has been a benefit to Chu’s development as a writer. Her creative processes vary from project to project and medium to medium, but she sees a distinct parallel between actually writing a script and her undergraduate education. “Part of my process is very much informed by the architectural design process of building a house: You know what has to go into it and you have to work within certain constraints,” she explains. “A house is all about the user environment and user expectations, and it’s the same thing for comics—the reader has expectations and things they

The average comic book is 20 pages, and in that space I need some kind of character introduction, the action, the conflict and to define where we go next. You have to plug those things in. It’s like doing a crossword puzzle: I need to be more of a problem solver than a prose writer.” Chu considers her life as a comicbook writer a “happy accident” that didn’t exactly draw her to the vocation so much as it sucked her in. She came into the comics world by way of fellow Harvard alumna and friend Georgia Lee, with whom she teamed up in 2010 to write comic books for girls, a demographic they both felt was unjustifiably

neglected by the medium. “When I was younger, I thought I was smart enough to do a lot of different things but I never found what I was passionate about; now I’m at a stage where I did find something I’m passionate about completely by accident,” Chu says. “It’s not like I didn’t enjoy all the other things I did, they were just different parts of my life along the way. Comic books are my new stage. It’s a world that has been very heavily male-dominated, and so much of what I’m doing is proving a point that women can draw and make and write comics. The status quo isn’t something I feel like can be left unchallenged, so there’s a little bit of that in my DNA.”

Several years into her journey writing comic books and graphic novels, Chu still feels “like a total newbie in some ways” and that she’s still working to stake her claim in a field that isn’t always receptive to female voices. “All this is outside my comfort zone,” says Chu. “There have been a lot of challenges related to my gender, but that’s to be expected. I don’t know if I ever felt like I’m where I belong because so much of it is fighting for a place at the table. I still have huge moments of selfdoubt and sometimes I wonder why I’m doing this: There are so many good reasons not to do it. But screw that! I’m not going away. If I go away, it’s a victory for the trolls.” Being a 51-year-old Asian-American mother of two boys and a woman in a traditionally masculine industry has often been the inspiration Chu needs to push ahead as proof that anyone with a dream and a desire can make it happen. “I think there’s a lot of skeptics out there but if you really want to do something, you can do it somehow,” she says. “I never knew I could do this, and I certainly never knew it was possible at my age.” And for every naysayer out there, Chu has met supportive peers, enthusiastic collaborators, and, thanks to the everpopular conventions that pepper the comic-book landscape domestically and beyond, scads of fans who find inspiration in both the stories she writes and the story she’s lived. “I love doing the conventions and meeting the fans because I always get somebody coming to me who’s looking

Amy Chu’s recently released graphic novel, “Sea Sirens,” at left. At right is an issue of “Poison Ivy,” one of the many comic books that she has worked on. for proof that it’s possible for them to do this, too,” Chu says. “And then I’ll get someone who’ll come up to me and say something like, ‘Your comic was my first comic,’ or have a really dog-eared copy of something I wrote that they’ve clearly read many, many times and they want me to sign it. It’s always like, ‘Oh my God, I can make a difference in people’s lives doing this!? That’s fantastic!’ No one ever said anything like that to me when I was consulting: I never heard, ‘Wow, your bar chart was so inspiring!’” Quite a few of those fans are the young women Chu initially intended to reach, confirming that the uptick in female representation she’s seeing in comics themselves is finding an eager audience. “It really was things like seeing Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel in the movies, because I can’t tell you how many people said that a woman cannot be the lead in a story—and these female characters are proving that very obviously they can,” says Chu, whose breakout work was writing Poison Ivy’s first book half a decade after the character’s introduction to the DC Comics universe. “The people who are buying comics and watching superhero movies, the new markets are women,” she says. “DC and Marvel have clearly changed:

Reaching a female audience is now their number-one priority. I feel vindicated! I love the fact that things have changed. I just can’t believe it took so long.” Chu continues to blaze new trails, recently taking on a teaching position at The Kubert School, located in Morris County but known throughout the world for its reputation in the sequential arts community, and working on an animated Netflix series that’s “like a mature Game of Thrones, very much in the vein of Castlevania,” due out next year. But most of all, she wants to be the voice drowning out the self-doubt and skeptics that creative types—especially those struggling to find their place as a voice for under-represented communities and demographics—tend to be plagued by. “There is a very correct path for me as a woman, as a mother, as an AsianAmerican that I need to represent: I feel like I’m in this position and should use it to teach and help others, because why else am I doing this?” Chu says. “I never thought that I could be a creative person so that’s still the great mystery to me, that one can actually do this if you just explore it. Life is too short not to. That’s my main message: You should—and can—do it!”

12THE NEWS | January 2020

High School North graduate Ryan Siegler holds the check he won after finishing first at a Gpro tournament in November at the Savannah Quarters Countr y Club in Pooler, Georgia. SEIGLER continued from Page 1 Qualifying School or Q-School. Siegler was exceptional in the first stage. He finished 22-under for 72 holes and placed second overall in Kannapolis, North Carolina, on Oct. 4. He followed it up with a fifth-place finish at 13-under for 72 holes in Brooksville, Florida, to gain a spot in the final stage. His driving length and accuracy came up big as he eagled the par-5 seventh hole to highlight his second stage weekend. “My ball striking was what I was happiest about,” Siegler said. “I only had one bogey for the first 36 holes. That helped me take a lot of pressure off myself. I wasn’t scrambling. I hit it in the middle of a lot of greens and tried to make putts. I got birdies when I could and just wasn’t making many mistakes.” All the Final Stage participants are guaranteed a spot on the Korn Ferry Tour, and finishing in the top 40 increases the accessibility to more of the tour’s regular-season tournaments. Siegler is ready for the next step no matter how many starts he gets on the Korn Ferry Tour. “It kind of validates all my hard work,” Siegler said. “It’s something I always wanted to accomplish. From Towson, I’m the first or second person to accomplish this. When you turn pro, you don’t know if you made the right choice. Not a lot of guys from small schools make it. It lets me know I’m going in the right direction.” Siegler said he feels especially accomplished knowing it was his first attempt at Q-School. Some players take a halfdozen tries to reach the Korn Ferry Tour. “It’s really hard,” said Siegler’s coach, Jason Barry. “It’s tough to put it into words. The competition is really high. Everybody hits it really far and shoots low scores. What he’s been able to accomplish is pretty amazing.” Fifteen years ago, it was 1999 West Windsor-Plainsboro High graduate Matt Davidson who qualified for the PGA Tour. Siegler is the second area

golfer to reach the Korn Ferry Tour (it was previously called the Web.com Tour when Davidson made it). The top 25 regular-season finishers on the Korn Ferry Tour, plus the top 25 finishers at the three-tournament Korn Ferry Tour Finals earn PGA Tour cards. The top 75 Points leaders from the Korn Ferry Tour regular season reach the finals. “Any time you see a guy come out of West Windsor, where our climate isn’t very good, it’s great,” Barry said. “Ryan shoots 25-under in the first two stages of Q-School and beat a lot of great players, it’s very encouraging. It just shows if you’re doing the right things in practice day in and day out, and if you’re working on the right things, and if you have a direction, you can accomplish a lot, and it doesn’t really matter where you are.” Davidson played professionally for 13 years. Now he’s in his second year as the head coach at his alma mater, Furman University. “I met him once at Furman,” Siegler said. “I have a good friend, (High School South graduate) Anthony Aloi, that followed him at Furman. I’ve heard a lot of stories about Matt and heard how good he was. It’s cool to be mentioned with him. I know he had some good years and he even made the PGA Tour. Hopefully I can duplicate that.” That goal wasn’t seriously under consideration when Siegler came out of North, and his first year at Towson he finished fifth on the team in scoring average. Barry, who has known Siegler since he was in high school, started working more closely with him after that year. Siegler’s story is different from that of many aspiring pros, who had a club in their hands from the moment they could walk. “I came pretty late to the game,” he said. “My parents don’t play. I wasn’t exposed to it young. I got addicted to it eventually. I felt if I could get better at that same pace, I thought I’d have a really good chance. It’s just a belief in yourself.”

Siegler, a left-hander, grew up loving baseball, and he also played basketball and soccer in high school before he started to see a future in golf. He didn’t hit the links until he was a teenager, but he started to excel at North. He won the Mercer County Tournament as a sophomore and his strong play earned him a chance to play at Towson. His climb in college set him on a trajectory that left him open to trying to turn pro. Siegler returned home to win the New Jersey Men’s Public Links Championship and he qualified for the USGA Public Links Championship. In his senior year at Towson, he twice was runner-up at college tournaments and he carded a 66. His college career ended with him sinking a 40-foot birdie putt in the conference championship. Following graduation, he has returned home to continue to hone his game. “I really like it in the Princeton area,” Siegler said. “I have a huge advantage being able to play at TPC at Jasna Polana (in Princeton). You get to play at all the TPCs. I love being around there. I love where I grew up. It’s somewhere that I’d like to base myself.” Coming home allows him to connect with Barry, who is the head coach at Rider University. Siegler is assistant coach at the school. Siegler is a hit with the Rider players, who admire his skill and work ethic. “It’s awesome,” he said. “It gives me an opportunity to play with guys on a regular basis. It keeps me excited to go to practice. It’s hard to go by yourself to work on stuff.”

Siegler spends part of his time in Florida playing in better weather conditions and working diligently on his game. He and Barry talk regularly and even send video clips to keep Siegler’s swing good. “He does the little things day in and day out that you need to do to get to that level,” Barry said. “He never wastes any time practicing. There’s always a purpose which is why I think he’s been able to achieve what he has so far.” Barry points to Siegler’s improvements as proof that his diligence is paying off. He’s developed an advantage. “He’s a great ball striker,” Barry said. “The driver used to not be a strong suit of his, but he flies drives over 300 yards now. He bullies the par 5s. I think he’s 21-under in 28 par 5s for Q-School. He has three eagles and no bogeys. His driver is his biggest asset. It’s a total weapon. He’s been a good long iron player for a long time.” Siegler’s driving ability has become good enough to separate him from less accomplished players, and it puts him in a minute population that can make the PGA Tour. It’s now just one step away for Ryan Siegler. “He’s going to continue to clean things up and get better, but he’s ready,” Barry said. “It’s all about just going out and doing it. I think he has all the tools and they’re sharp. I think he’s ready to play with the best in the world. At the end of every year, you’re looking to see what you can do better. He always needs to get his putting a little bit better. As far as ball striking goes, he’s ready to play on the big scene.”

DEHNE continued from Page 1 to take action that makes sense for their community.” Sustainable Jersey, which started as a Dodge initiative in 2006 and is now a separate entity, is an example of the community-driven decision-making that the foundation fosters. This organization, which Dodge continues to support, has created a statewide infrastructure to enable grassroots change via local green teams. Another initiative of the Dodge Foundation, established in 1974, is a biennial poetry festival—which gathers poets from across the nation and exposes students of all backgrounds to the idea that poetry is a living art form. Dehne moved to West Windsor in 2002 with her husband Phillip Dehne, professor and associate chair of the history department at St. Joseph’s College in Brooklyn, and her five children. Her children attend the public schools, where they do middle school and high school sports and have been involved in the West Windsor Little League and the West Windsor-Plainsboro Soccer Association. As an undergraduate student at Lafayette College, Dehne studied international relations, anthropology, and sociology because, she says, “I was very interested in South Asian studies and in governance and governments across the globe.” She also worked as a prison tutor, teaching math to help prisoners earn their GEDs. “I would help women who were about my age, from the same county, in some cases from the same high

role she enjoyed was advising for-profit boards and nonprofit boards of trustees on their fiduciary duties and their role vis-a-vis their management teams. Dehne’s pro bono work with nonprofits led her to her first nonprofit board seat with United Way of Greater Mercer County, which led to several others: Young Audiences of New Jersey; HomeFront; Sustainable Jersey; Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation; and today New York Public Radio and Lafayette College. This experience stood her in good stead when she later joined corporate boards for publicly traded companies as a director. As corporations are becoming more purpose driven, with increasing focus on their stakeholders — their communities, consumers, employees as well as shareholders—Dehne has advised boards to prioritize environmental, social, and governance factors on their agendas, she says, “integrating such factors in long-term strategy and ensuring diversity in boardrooms and in C-suite talent pipelines.” She adds that “building strong governance in nonprofits is critical, and also an opportunity as nonprofits take on a larger role in society as government policy and regulations continue to roll back on social services.” As Dehne accumulated new skills over time, she was able to use them to “really give back and make a difference.” “My story is not of a person who was born and knew I was going to be in philanthropy. I am someone who grew into it, as small steps became bigger, as I developed skills, experience, and networks.”

sports High School South cross country benefitted from True’s best season By Justin Feil Austin True turned in his finest season to help the High School South boys cross country team remain among the top 10 in the state during a transition year. The Pirates placed ninth at the Meet of Champions Nov. 23 at Holmdel Park to cap a season that began last summer with the naming of new head coach Craig Tipton after Kurt Wayton resigned. “He changed up training a little bit and that helped me a bit, but I also think it was the mindset I had coming into the season,” True said. “I knew it was my last one, and I wanted it to be a good one.” True alternated with fellow senior Ben Fanta at the top of the Pirates lineup. True was the highest finisher for the team in its second-place finish at the Mercer County Championships. “I thought I’d be second on the team this year,” True said. “It was pretty nice to be first. Me and Ben were going back and forth throughout the season. We ended up pretty close time-wise. It was always good to have him there because we always pushed each other through the races and it always ended up benefiting us both with our competition rather

class in the program. The Pirates are determined to keep their program strong and have the potential to do so. Tipton said he would like an earlier and better start to summer training and sees a strong group to pick a top seven from for next year. “We have kids like Aryan Bhujbal, AJ Vincent and Christian Gobo, going from middle 18:00s to under 18:00 at the JV meet,” Tipton said. “I think we see a lot of people like Alex Fisher and Vladimyr Rehl who are going to be ready to take up varsity spots in the future. I was very careful about making sure none of our top runners were hurt and throughout the whole team.” This season set the stage for the Pirates to remain a powerhouse. The team didn’t lower its standards despite a change of leadership, and they maintained high expectations right through the end of the year. “We were aiming for something similar to last year’s performance toward the end place-wise, but then that didn’t end up coming around which was a little disappointing,” True said. “We made it to Meet of Champions and got ninth compared to fourth last year. But our time and team average was better than last year’s so it’s improvement and we’re happy.”

Johnson makes a transition from football to cross country By Justin Feil Fall has meant football for most of Luke Johnson’s life. But not this past fall. In his senior year at High School North, Johnson left the quarterbacking to his brother, Shane, and jumped into running year-round, when he joined the boys’ cross country squad. “There were a few factors,” said Johnson. “Last year for football, I was actually out the whole season with a stress fracture in my back. I was out for six months, and it took a really long time to heal. I didn’t want to get reinjured, and at the time I was looking to run in college. I figured it would help my times in the spring.” Johnson expects to reap the benefits of the longer cross country distance training during indoor track and field now and the outdoor track and field season this spring.

Up until this year, Johnson had been he said. “I don’t know if disappointment suiting up for football every fall. He is the right word. We ran our hardest took to his new fall sport that day and I think we quickly. were looking for more. It “I don’t know if there’s just didn’t work out.” physically a lot of crossThe goal represented over, but mentally there’s an enormous jump in a lot of similarities between expectations for a North cross country and football,” group that last year Johnson said. “For one, the didn’t make it past the team aspect.

Johnson helped the “If you weren’t trainJohnson Knights cap their year with ing with our team for the a fifth-place finish at the entire season and durMeet of Champions on Nov. 23. ing the summer, you wouldn’t see how “For some reason, we did think we competitive the guys are and how badly were at least third, not as low as fifth,” they wanted it,” Johnson said. “A lot of these guys were freshmen last year. Nikhil (Makker), Jeffrey (Chen), Anish (Agrawal), they matured a lot and they really had some big shoes to fill and they did it. I couldn’t be more proud of them. “And also, one of our juniors, Caleb Birnbaum, he really stepped up this year and played a huge leadership role. We had a lot of guys step up and we had a lot of guys that were really hungry to win, and that were super competitive and super determined and they came every day to practices and worked their butts off.” Johnson was the team’s No. 1 from start to finish of the season, and for most of the year he placed first or second in every race he entered. That helped the Knights replace Lad in the lineup. “Luke ran faster than I thought he would,” said Knights head coach Brian Gould. “He had a fantastic season. I don’t know if anybody has had a debut year like that. He put himself up there with the all-timers pretty much right away.” Johnson placed second at the Mercer County Championships in 15:36 to help the Knights win their first county title in

10 years. He placed second at the Central Jersey Group 3 state meet in 15:53, and fourth at the Group 3 state meet as the Knights earned their MOC berth by placing second. At the MOC, he was 12th against the top runners in the state to lead WW-P North to its top-five team finish. “Other teams at the beginning of the season may not have thought that we could be in contention for Meet of Champs, but we were,” Johnson said. “We were pretty adamant that we could do things like that.” The Knights were happy to finish with a good team effort, even if they didn’t place as highly as they had hoped. Johnson came into the season unsure what he could do. Prior to the season, he had done one cross country 5k race in his life, a charity race in Pennsylvania. “The only time I ran an all-out 5k before this year was in eighth grade,” Johnson said. “It’d been a while.” Johnson started to ramp up for his first season of cross country in the summer. Johnson had only raced the twomile in track a handful of times, and getting him to adjust to the longer 5k race distance for cross country was paramount to his success. Preparation this summer was much different than getting ready for football, or even getting ready for track season. Johnson got some positive feedback that his training was paying off early in the season. His early success gave him confidence. Sustaining it to the end was the trickier part. Johnson said he would have liked to finish the year with some faster times, but it was in the end that his inexperience in cross country caught up. “He just ran out of gas a bit, but that’s on me, not on him,” Gould said. “What’s interesting, because it’s his first year and he ran so fast, he went immediately into racing at a high level, which takes its toll on a kid over the course of a year. But he never stopped battling, never stopped fighting. He’s such a competitor. I was very, very proud of him.”

Everyone’s a member of the family at Lightbridge Academy

There are lots of reasons why Center Director Jessica McKenna loves working at Lightbridge Academy, an early childhood education and daycare center in Plainsboro. But three specific areas really stand out in her mind: customer satisfaction, a commitment to technology and the center’s progressive educational curriculum. As McKenna explains, “everyone associated with the Academy is a member of what we call our Circle of Care, from the children to the teachers, parents and the community. And we are all there for the children. We aim to treat everyone as part of our extended family.” This commitment shows up in a myriad of ways, from the time when the Assistant Director, Manisha Trivedi, ran out to the parking lot to help a visitor jump start their car when the battery died, to presenting holiday programs for the entire Lightbridge Community. As Jessica explains, “Last month we had a Photo With Santa Day that included the teachers, parents and children. We think that sort of thing works well here, because Santa at the mall can sometimes be overstimulating: This way, the children can enjoy that holiday event in an environment they are familiar with, so they are more relaxed. There are very few crying pictures this way!,” she says with a laugh. Technology, too, is key to the Center’s success. “It is so important in so many ways, from making the school more secure, to helping parents stay involved,” says McKenna. The thumbprint door technology, for

example, only allows those who have had a thumbprint ID to enter and exit the building. If a parent or other family member wants to check in with their little girl or boy during the day, The ParentView Internet Monitoring service allows up to four people from a child’s family to access cameras and watch what their child is doing from a home or office device. In terms of learning, the Center offers interactive technology games such as Tiggly, where children get to match up shapes on their tables to those they see on a screen. “It’s both hands-on and technology-based, which is great for the children,” McKenna explains. Another part of the curriculum, Signing Sprouts, starts infants as young as six months old learning American Sign Language, which helps young children communicate before they are completely verbal. And with the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum, children learn the letters of the alphabet from easy to difficult, not from A to Z. “We start with the letter F, and stay with straight lines then move on to letters with curves, which are more difficult to master,” explains McKenna. Finally, Jessica points out the Kindness Curriculum, which is generally an anti-bullying program, perhaps the most important aspect of the school: “We teach children to show empathy, to care for others and to simply be kind to all kinds of people.” Lightbridge Academy, 10 Schalks Crossing Rd., Suite 100A, Plainsboro. 609-269-8347.
