PSRC Director Comments On Council’s Questions About Proposed Expansion Princeton Senior Resource Center is about to embark on a capital campaign to raise $1.5 million for a much-needed expansion of its facility in the Suzanne Paterson Center on Stockton Street. That figure would augment $250,000 already in Princeton’s capital budget and another $250,000 that would come from Mercer County for the project.

When PSRC’s director Susan Hoskins presented Princeton Council with the organization’s expansion plan at a meeting late last month, Council members had some questions not only about the scope of the project, but about just who it will serve. Heather Howard asked how many users of the senior center are actual residents of Princeton. Ms. Hoskins put that figure at about half, though all social service programs are restricted to town residents.

Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller commented, “So in a way, we’re building a bigger building for residents in other towns.”

Speaking a few days after the meeting, Ms. Hoskins said she was puzzled by the remarks. “I was surprised that we returned to the question of people who live in Princeton and people who live outside of Princeton,” she said. “Princeton is a magnet in every aspect of the community, and we have created senior programs and services here that are also a magnet. The people who come into town for our classes also shop and eat in town. I think many of our instructors come from out of town. I also think there is a lot of value to having a mixture of people. If the municipality were covering 100 percent of our expenses, I could see these concerns. But we have donors, and many of them come from out of town. So it’s not that anyone is taking advantage, or are interlopers.”

Another comment that struck Ms. Hoskins was about keeping Princeton, which was the first town in New Jersey to be designated an age-friendly community by the World Health Organization, from becoming “an old community.”

“I was even more surprised at that,” she said. “My response was that we really want to reframe that, and see our older adults as an asset. They’re the volunteers who keep organizations and commissions going. Some of my board members said Continued on Page 10

Schools and Police Confront Swatting Menace

“How do we stop this?” asked Princeton Public Schools Superintendent Steve Cochrane. That is the big question for the schools and the Police Department after a series of bomb threats over the past two weeks that have disrupted classes at Littlebrook Elementary, Princeton High School, and, most recently, John Witherspoon Middle School.

Students, teachers, parents, administrators, and police officials share feelings of frustration and anxiety in the face of what Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter calls “acts of terrorism.” “The motivation is to disrupt,” Mr. Sutter explained, “to cause fear and anxiety, to scare people and disrupt our lives. These incidents are random and widespread across the entire country.”

PHS drama teacher Pat Wray voiced the consternation felt by many, inside and outside the schools. “The swatting actually started last spring and was scary for the students and staff,” she recalled. “Now that it’s happening again and regularly, it is a huge disruption to educational instruction and there is the danger that lockdown and evacuation procedures may become mundane.”

Last Wednesday’s swatting was similar to recent incidents. At 10:45 a.m. the main office at John Witherspoon received a computer-generated recorded phone

message warning that there was a bomb in the school.

The Princeton Police Department responded immediately to investigate.

Students and staff were evacuated. State Police and Mercer County Sheriff Department K-9 officers with five dogs conducted a thorough search of the school. No bomb was found.

Students and staff returned to the school at approximately 1:10 p.m., as Princeton Police officers remained in the school area throughout the day.

Cooperation between the schools and the Police Department has been continuous and increasingly extensive, with Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Sutter in communica-

tion daily.

Sharing the feelings of exasperation of school and community members, Mr. Sutter said, “As frustrating as this is, safety has to be the number one priority.

If there’s any question of the legitimacy of the threat, we have to err on the side of safety.”

In response to students, school staff, and parents (like the mother of two who wrote to Town Topics this week seeking clarification on Police Department plans for “assessing and reacting to these calls” and plans for “minimiz[ing] disruptions”), Mr. Sutter, himself the father of three young children, expressed his concern: Continued on Page 10

Princeton University Endowment Reports Growth to $22.7 Billion Princeton University’s endowment earned a 12.7 percent investment gain for the most recent fiscal year, it was announced this week. The University has a $22.7 billion endowment, an increase of about $1.7 billion from the previous year.

Major schools began reporting their annual return figures during the past few weeks. Harvard said it had earned 5.8 percent, while Yale reported an 11.5

percent return. Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s figure was 13.2 percent, and Bowdoin College reported 14.2 percent earned for the year.

Princeton’s results are scheduled to be certified on October 22 during a meeting of the directors of the Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO), the University office that manages the endowment.

When Barbara Christiano was asked last May if she had heard of The Pink Glove Dance, she had to plead ignorance. But since then, this five-year-old national dance video competition has become a priority — not only for Ms. Christiano, who is vice president of Patient Care Services and chief nursing officer at the University Medical Center

Beginning Sept. 30, Nassau Christian Center will be offering the Alpha Course. This conversationbased small group setting offers a chance to consider life’s meaning through discussing the core of Christianity.

of Princeton at Plainsboro — but for hospital staff members, physicians, service workers, volunteers, and their family members as well.

They make up the 186 pink-clad dancers in a video that has taken second place in its category of hospitals of fewer than 300 beds. After learning about the competition, Ms. Christiano and colleagues scrambled to produce a video before the July 31 deadline. Just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month last week, the hospital was informed of their win and presented with a $5,000 check from Medline, the medical supply company that sponsors the event.

pital. Next was a radiation oncology area, followed by the outpatient infusion room where chemotherapy is administered. The final filming took place on a steamy, hot day in the hospital’s Healing Garden. Several breast cancer survivors, all employees of the hospital, are among the dancers who pass the baton.

Medline started the Pink Glove Dance competition five years ago to raise breast cancer awareness and funding for related charities.

Hospitals and other organizations across the country are invited to submit videos in three categories: One for hospitals of 300 beds or more, a second for those of fewer than 300 beds, and a third for non-healthcare

Of the Town Hospital staff raised another $2,000 before the video voting began, and UMCPP physicians Natasha and Alex Wolfson matched Medline with a $5,000 gift.

The total of $12,000 is going to the hospital’s chosen charity, the Breast Cancer Resource Center at YWCA Princeton.

“When I learned about this last May, I found out that a few of our nurses had actually begun working on it in March,” said Ms. Christiano.

“They thought it would be a great team-building project. 2x7 I worked with my other colleagues in the senior executive team and we decided to go for it.”

Karyn Book, the director of Patient Care Services, took over the project. “We got a local videographer to come out and plan the theme,” she said. “Then we set up four filming dates. We put up signs in the hospital, and we used Survey Monkey to select one of two songs (Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off”).”

Nurses Ashley Palmisano and Lacey Lisner, who were on their high school dance teams, were enlisted to come up with choreography. “We had to modify a few things to make sure they’d look good, but overall everybody did a good job,” said Ms. Palmisano.

The video follows the path that a breast cancer patient is likely to take during treatment, with survivors passing a baton as they pass through different areas. The first filming location was a mammography room in the hos-

organizations. Voting concluded on September 23 and the results were released last Thursday, October 1.

There were nine winners in all, each of which received a donation to benefit breast cancer education and prevention initiatives for their chosen charity.

The dancers in the video range from small children doing backf lips dow n a hallway to women of a certain age shaking their hips to the beat. Physicians and technicians in scrubs and white coats are among the crowd, most of whom wear pink tee-shirts. Everyone sports a pair of pink rubber gloves.

“More and more people came to each shooting as the word got out,” said Ms. Book. “It just warmed our hearts to see so many. Now, everyone can’t wait to do it again next year.”

Police Blotter School Bus Crash At 206, Lovers Lane Children Unharmed

Robert W. Baker Builder LLC Home Remodeling or Carpenter for the Day Phone: 609-466-6801 www.robertwbakerbuilder.com

A P r i n c e ton Re g i on a l School bus transporting 17 Pre-K students (4-5 year olds) home from Johnson Park School was struck by a 2002 Jeep Liber t y on Stockton Street near Lovers Lane Tuesday afternoon.

The school bus, operated

by Cynthia Clausen, 59, of Princeton, was stopped facing south on Stockton Street waiting to turn left onto Lovers Lane, when the Jeep Liberty, operated by Charles

Chernosky, 77, of Princeton, traveled north and crossed over the center lines striking the bus’s left front end with its front bumper. Another vehicle traveling in front of the school bus, a 2002 Chrysler Town and Country operated by Ulises Chacon, 60, of Trenton was also sideswiped by the Jeep Liberty.

Mr. Chernosky suffered a head injury and was transpor ted to the Universit y Medical Center at Plainsboro by Princeton First Aid and Rescue.

There were no other reported injuries.

The school bus sustained extensive front end damage and was towed from the scene by Stewart’s Towing. The Jeep Liberty sustained extensive front end

damage and was towed from the scene by Boro Collision Towing. The Chrysler Town and Country sustained minor scrapes along the left side and was driven from the scene.

A second Princeton Regional School bus arrived at the scene and took the children home.

——— On September 26, at 2:34 p.m., a Jefferson Road resident reported that between September 22 and 26, an unknown male rummaged through his truck parked outside his house and stole two security cameras valued at $149. The suspect is described as a tall thin male wearing a long sleeve jersey with the numbers 00 on the front and a winter style ski cap covering his ears.

On September 27, at 10:37 a.m., during a car stop on Chambers Street a 24-yearold male from Trenton was charged with providing false information to police and had a New Hanover Township Municipal Court warrant for $556.

On September 28, at 9:10

p.m., an 18-year-old male from Princeton was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia during a car stop on Western Way. O n S epte mb e r 29, at 12:33 a.m., a Witherspoon Street resident reported that sometime between September 25 and 28, someone stole $1,000 cash from his apartment.

O n S epte mb e r 29, at 10:50 a.m., a North Harrison Street business employee reported that someone telephoned her and demanded $200 or they would harm her brother being held hostage. The victim wired the money to a specified location in New York and the call was deemed a hoax after she confirmed with her brother that he was safe and never held hostage.

On September 29, at 5:50 p.m., a native of India reported that $200 was missing from his wallet after taking a taxi from New York to Alexander Street.

Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

Princeton public school students are looking forw a r d to a r e c e n t l y a n nou n ce d hom e work-f re e s c h e d u l e d u r i n g w i n te r and spring breaks and other de sig nate d weekends throughout the year.

At its September 29 meeting, the School Board passed a resolution designating no-homework days for the long weekend of the NJE A Convention in November, Thanksgiving, winter break, spring break, and Mother’s Day weekend.

Additionally, no projects will be due or tests given immediately upon return from these holidays.

Since the days of Socrates and Plato, the question of homework has been a controversial one. What to assign? How much to assign?

How to ma ke it wor t h while?

Schools are under cons t a nt pre s s u re to m a ke classes rigorous and challenging, to prepare students for standardized tests, increasingly selective colleges and an increasingly competitive world. But, at the

same time, more and more students are over-scheduled and stressed out. How to find a balance? Princeton Public Schools are committed to finding out and acting on their findings.

Superintendent Steve Cochrane emphasized the importance of unstructured time for students to read for pleasure, explore top-

ics of individual interest, spend time w it h family, and engage in outside and extra-curricular activities — to “mentally step away from fo c u s i n g on h om e work, projects, and studying for tests. What we’re doing is one small step to provide a bit of space for our kids.”

As a parent of twin 11th grade boys and also super-

visor of language arts and social studies at PHS, John Anagbo sees the issue from both sides. He voiced the favorable response of many to the new homework policy, “I believe that the homeworkfree schedule is a great step in advancing the wellbeing of students, teachers, and families,” he said.

Mr. Cochrane explained some of the thinking leading up to the Board’s resolution: “Last year, homework was a focus of many of our

Wellness Committee meetings. Students also raised the issue prominently in surveys and focus groups.”

In the coming months, teachers and administrators, according to Mr. Cochra ne, w i ll b e lo ok i ng closely at homework policies and practices — not just the quantity of homework, but how that homework promotes learning and how it is evaluated. Mr. Cochrane is calling for “Homework 2.0,” “a discussion that will

allow teachers and administrators to read the latest research, share best practices, and propose meaningful recommendations for enhancing learning. How do you make homework more meaningful, as positive a learning experience as possible — and also provide a balance? ” Mr. Cochrane and the Princeton Public Schools are hoping to find some answers to that question in the months ahead.

”I extend my understanding and sympathy to what everybody is going through. I’m going through it myself.”

“Our detectives are working with the facult y and staff,” he continued. “We have detectives assigned to work with federal and state colleagues. The good part

of that is that we’re pooling resources. We are communicating with police departments across the country.

We’re throwing everything we can at this.”

Mr. Cochrane emphasized the focused, positive collaboration with the Police Department, as the School District seeks a calm, rational, balanced response and antidote to the rash of swatting.

“There has been progress,” Mr. Cochrane stated.

“A narrowing of the focus on where these calls are originating. This has been f r ust rat ing and an x iet yproducing for all of us. We working together to try and find a resolution to this problem.”

PSRC Director Comments Choose a Pumpkin at Terhune continued from page one

after the meeting that older people pay taxes and don’t put their children in schools. Older people who have been living here for 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 years bring stability to the town that your college students don’t. So I’d really like to see us reframe that.”

PSRC has outgrown its home. While 213 people par t icipate d i n it s pro grams in 2002, 1,350 took part last year. There were 43 social groups in 2002, Ms. Hoskins said, and this year there are 175. Those waiting for classes to start often have to wait outside or crowded into the entryway.

The expansion would push out into the courtyard area, creating a social space and reception area. Also on the wish list are a kitchenette area and larger restrooms that must be made ADAaccessible.

“I’m not looking for eight classrooms instead of four, or anything like that,” Ms. Hoskins said. “I’m looking for more space so that people don’t have to wait outside or in their cars. It’s been 15 years since the last [renovation] project. Let’s make it more functional.”

At the Council meeting on September 28, Council President Bernie Miller suggested that it might be time for the senior center to think about relocating to a new facility. “I’m not averse to that,” Ms. Hoskins said after the meeting. “I would love to have somebody say to me, ‘I know of a vacant school or other building.’

But I need it now.”

Should PSRC ever move, it wou ld ideally s tay in town. “Much as the community made the decision to keep the public library in the center of town, we need to be here, too,” Ms. Hoskins said. “If the library is the community’s living room, we are it’s study — or maybe its rec room.”

Open Letter to Mayor and Council Concerning Jefferson/Moore/Harris/Carnahan neighborhood

To the Editor: The Jefferson/Moore/Harris/Carnahan neighborhood has been under pressure for years, contesting: • the initial, intrusive design of the hospital’s parking garage, • the move to convert homes on Harris Road to medical offices, • the change from a hospital that served the community to a commercial development • the current groundwork for selling the affordable homes bordering the old hospital site. Will they be replaced by a row of McMansions?

To date this neighborhood of small and medium-sized homes remains a space where people know their neighbors, vote in elections, raise their children, and retire. It’s the kind of place newcomers want to move into and where they will invest in the community.

Our neighbors in Witherspoon/Jackson have historically struggled to survive, confronting: • urban renewal • Palmer Square Residences • gentrification • disproportionate property tax increases.

Princeton’s property taxes are already among the highest in the nation. Not only are the town’s low-income families being forced out; now the pressure is on middle-income residents. Current construction will bring some hundreds of units to this area, inserted between Route 206 and Jefferson Road. Since the hospital left, traffic has not decre ased, but increased. Million-dollar houses replace middle-class homes where people have lived and retired. Young couples may barely afford to buy half a house, and rarely a whole one, and rental units do not stabilize a community.

We residents here have spent more than $100,000 in legal fees and exhausted ourselves trying to preserve the peaceful setting that brought us here. We need some sense that you find our concerns relevant and meaningful. Merwick/Stanworth is growing. The Franklin and Maple housing is expected to triple in size, and AvalonBay will arrive soon, with minimal open space.

The ratio of green space to dense construction needs to be part of your planning. We urge you to wait to develop the Franklin parking lot until you have seen how current construction affects traffic, schools, taxes, and quality of life in Princeton. We support affordable housing. The Fair Housing Act instructs us to find spaces throughout the community, specifically not concentrated where it already exists.

Our neighborhood is about to be overwhelmed by development. There is even talk of eliminating the widely used Guyot Walk and making Harris Road a through street.

We recall the urban renewal that replaced Jackson Street with Palmer Square Residences. “Becoming a small city,” “smart growth,” and “walkability” have become buzzwords for top-down planning that ignores bottom-up realities.

Don’t repeat old mistakes. Work with us to find solutions.

Republican Candidates Would Bring New Thoughts, Concepts to Council

To the Editor: Fortunately an annual election provides thinking voters an opportunity to evaluate the current Princeton leadership and continue down the same path or to take the opportunity of electing someone who would inject new thoughts and concepts.

As a longtime resident of Princeton, Lynn Irving has proven through association with many local organizations that she possesses the leadership abilities that would bring a fresh approach to evaluating whatever problems that inevitably will come before Princeton Council.

Having been acquainted with her for many years there is no question she will provide the commitment and dedication to serve our community with endless energy. Diversity in thinking can only be a positive approach to making the important decisions relative to the future of Princeton.

When placing your vote think carefully and make an intelligent impartial vote to put Lynn Irving on Princeton Council.

HARRY COOkE Sycamore Road To the Editor: Princeton is fortunate to have two outstanding candidates for Princeton Council. Long time residents Lynn Lu Irving and kelly DiTosto are committed and intelligent. Over the years their positive impact in the community has been huge. kelly is an accountant and her expertise at balancing books in a fiscally responsible manner is a talent the Council badly needs. Both candidates have raised families in our school system.

Lynn has been a teacher, school administrator, and real estate licensee, experiences which will add depth and expertise to Council decision-making. It is therefore, with great pleasure, that I support Lynn Lu Irving and kelly DiTosto for Council and sincerely urge all Princetonians to do the same.

We Would Be Fortunate If Pat Sullivan There Is No Getting Around Conservative Served on the Board of Education Again Voting Record of Ciattarelli and Simon To the Editor: It is our belief that school parents and taxpayers have been very fortunate to have had Pat Sullivan on the Board of Education for the past three years. We would be fortunate to have him serve our town again.

We know Pat well as the dedicated Scoutmaster to our sons in Princeton’s Boy Scout Troop 43. In this volunteer role, which he has held for almost four years, Pat is a real leader. He has the confidence to allow all to have their perspectives and opinions, and applies his considerable analytical and people skills to achieving consensus and solving problems. He has provided solid guidance to our boys, stewarded resources effectively (we are financially stable), and makes it easy for our community to support the Boy Scouts (our troop was inclusive long before the national committee finally changed its policy regarding homosexual scouts and leaders). Dozens of Princeton boys have learned, grown, and become leaders under his steadfast tutelage.

As a school board member and proud Princeton Public School parent, Pat Sullivan has brought the same leader-

Battle of Princeton Set

In 1977, 200 years after the Battle, 240 authentic sets of 32 American, British, and Haitian soldiers and seven horses (Washington astride one), were meticulously crafted in Wales. Sets were given to Queen Elizabeth, President Ford, Lord Mountbatten and Malcolm Forbes. Net proceeds were given to Princeton Battlefield Area Preservation Society. The 39 piece sets were sold for $150. 13 years later, in 1990 one set sold for $1,500. My set was officially #21 out of 240. Comes with details of the battle and identification of the types of soldiers. Best offer over $2000 before October 17th.

To the Editor: We write in support of two excellent Democratic candidates for the New Jersey State Assembly; Maureen Vella, a former judge; and Andrew Zwicker, a scientist.

Since the redistricting in 2012 Princeton, has been represented in the New Jersey Assembly by two Republicans, Jack Ciattarelli and Donna Simon. Ciattrelli and Simon have voted 100 percent with Chris Christie’s agenda, including every veto. There is no getting around their conservative voting record. They do not represent the values of Princeton’s Democratic voters. For instance, they have consistently opposed funding for family planning and are opposed to reasonable gun control measures.

It’s time for Princeton to be represented in the Assembly by representatives who share our values.

Join us on November 3 in electing Maureen Vella and Andrew Zwicker to the New Jersey Assembly.

BERNIE AND RuTH MILLER Governors Lane

Only Andrew Zwicker Signed the Pledge To Co-sponsor Bills Reflecting AACA Provisions

To the Editor: Who among our district 16 candidates is willing to address THE ISSuE underlying all issues? In July, 2014, knowing that the majority of the population (across the political spectrum) identifies the corrupting influence of big money on our political leadership as a major risk to our democracy, the Princeton Town Council passed a resolution supporting the provisions of the American Anti-Corruption Act (AACA). These provisions include among others: making it illegal for elected officials to take campaign money from the interests they regulate,

disclosure of all political spending, and public financing of elections. In time for the November election, Representus Central NJ gave all the New Jersey district 16 candidates the opportunity to let voters know how they would respond to this resolution. It urged district 16 representatives to support anti-corruption legislation in the legislature. Only Andrew Zwicker signed the pledge to co-sponsor and/or introduce bills in the legislature that reflect the provisions of the AACA. Andrew Zwicker’s response lets you know that he is ready to act on his belief that our representatives must represent the will of all of the people, not just the big-pocketed donors. He realizes that action must be taken at the local and state levels before we get any action at the national level. The other candidates did not make this pledge.

Representative Jack M. Ciattarelli Discusses Getting Things Done in a Bi-Partisan Way

To the Editor: Every New Jersey state legislator needs to be keenly focused not on what gridlocks government, but on making New Jersey a better place to live, work, and retire.

We can achieve that goal by providing high-quality education for our children; ensuring fair state funding of public schools; reforming public pension systems; reducing property taxes; eliminating estate taxes; and protecting our environment.

In addressing these issues, we need elected officials who are solutions-oriented, not career politicians who are politically motivated. We need elected officials serious about making our communities better and more affordable for everyone. We need elected officials who understand that people long for a different kind of leadership today — leadership that is honest, independent, fearless but humble, principled but not uncompromising, and committed to working in a bi-partisan way to get things done. I’ve worked very hard to distinguish myself in these ways.

I’m up for re-election this year, as is my running mate, Assemblywoman Donna Simon. It would be an honor to continue serving in the New Jersey Legislature as Assemblyman for the 16th District, which includes Princeton.

Please come out to the polls to cast your vote on Election Day, November 3.

Our Officials Should Explain How They Plan to Minimize Swatting Disruptions

To the Editor: I am a Princeton resident with two children in the local schools. We have had 15-plus incidents of “swatting.” I would like to see an article about the School District’s and Police Department’s plans for assessing and reacting to these calls. While they seem to have become more efficient about lifting the “shelter in place” they have not, from any release I have seen, laid out a strategy for threat assessment and cooperation with federal authorities to increase traceability of the calls.

I understand swatting occurs nationwide and we are not the only community dealing with this nuisance. However, I would like to see something other than hand-wringing as a response from the government, local and federal. If we continue to react passively, our entire society could be held hostage to the strange amusements of the immature and criminally inclined.

Police and school communications have focused on their understanding of the problem, but they shed no light on how they are going to improve their ability to respond.

Parents and voters are becoming increasingly annoyed.

Please help us understand what the long term game plan is. Maybe this will go away all on its own, but maybe not and in that case we need our officials to explain what they plan to do to minimize disruptions.

ship to the Town of Princeton, our children and our public schools. He is deeply committed to innovation and longterm goals, yet also takes a pragmatic approach to the needs of our students today — in all grades, in all subjects.

He believes the goal of the public schools is to provide an engaging, meaningful, appropriately challenging and differentiated learning experience to every child, every day.

Pat has been a persuasive voice in favor of wellness and balance for our children, as evidenced by his leadership role in driving the district’s reexamination of homework and workload practices and its recent no-holiday-homework proclamation. He is a strong advocate for review of and modifications to our district’s approaches to special education and economically disadvantaged students.

Lastly, Pat is a good steward of our funds in promoting and ensuring our district’s commitment to excellence. He overhauled and improved the reporting to the finance committee, allowing more useful and actionable information to be used in spending and budgetary decision making.

Our children all benefit from the leadership of this Eagle Scout, a man with integrity and honor. Please join us in supporting Pat Sullivan (ballot position #3) for re-election to the Princeton Public School Board of Education.

lots. I remember years ago when my family’s Tulane street property was heavily taxed and we were told that taxes are based upon the highest and best use of the property. If this is still the case, I suggest that many of the University’s properties are not being used to the highest and best use from a rateable perspective. not only should the municipal leadership be supporting the lawsuit they should be joining against the University. Perhaps a moratorium on such expansion is in order.

“Like Déjà Vu All Over Again”: Playoff Baseball With Yogi Berra, Yadier Molina, and Hurricane Joaquin

I

’m planning ways to pipe “All I Need is a Miracle” by Mike and the Mechanics into the St. Louis clubhouse when the Cardinals host the National League Central Division playoffs this Friday. Why send a Power Pop anthem to a team that has won 100 games in spite of losing virtually half their starting lineup this season?

That’s not miracle enough? Not if you add to that truckload of adversity the loss of a potential Hall of Fame catcher and proven post-season clutch hitter who saves pitcher’s souls and throws out baserunners at a major-league-leading clip. When “things fall apart” and “the center cannot hold,” Yadier Molina is the center that holds, and at this writing, there’s no way of knowing how effective he’ll be even if he’s cleared to play in the post season.

The September 20 incident that put Molina out of action is an example of what his former manager Tony LaRussa calls “beautiful baseball” — in the bottom of the eighth inning in a do or die game against the surging Chicago Cubs, Anthony Rizzo racing for home, a perfect throw from right-fielder Jason Hayward snagged on one hop by Molina, one quick stab of Molina’s mitt to tag out the sliding runner, a medley of forces converging in game-saving synchronicity. Except that as the catcher executes the neat rapier-like motion of the tag, the force embodied by the 6’3, 240-pound Rizzo going hellbent for home has Molina slinging off his mitt, in pain from what proved to be a partially torn ligament in his left thumb, and just like that, the one indispensable player is out for the last ten days of the regular season and perhaps the playoffs.

So it goes with baseball. Beautiful, yes, but also inevitably bipolar, a field of ups and downs and broken dreams.

“He Was Out!” On September 22, two days after Molina went down, baseball lost one of its greatest catchers and most quotable characters when Yogi Berra died. In the unlikely event that Berra ever visited a therapist, he’d have been sure to vent about how the umpire blew it in the first game of the 1955 Yankees-Dodgers World Series when Jackie Robinson stole home. Endless replays of the moment available online show Robinson being called safe as he slides under or into the tag, after which Berra is seen furiously berating the homeplate umpire. According to Harvey Araton in Driving Mr. Yogi, “When it came to the Robinson call, Berra wore his certitude like a badge of honor, even signing a photo of the play that was destined for Barack Obama with the inscription, ‘Dear Mr. President: He was out.’”

In fact, if anyone in baseball is the therapist, it’s the catcher. As Bengie Molina points out in his memoir (with Joan Ryan), Molina: The Story of a Father Who Raised an Unlikely Baseball Dynasty (Simon & Schuster 2015), the catcher has to be “the steadying influence, the soothing advisor who knows what the pitcher needs before the pitcher does.”

The Church of Baseball Molina’s memoir describes how and why he and his brothers Yadier and José became major league catchers, with eight World Series and six world championships between them. The Molinas grew up in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, in a barrio called Ponderosa, “in a house balanced on stacks of bricks with wooden steps to the front door.” The baseball field seemed like an extension of the house even before they moved to Espinosa where the field was just across the street. The father told his sons “that the foul lines don’t really stop at the outfield fence but go on forever, into infinity. And it was possible for a baseball game to last for e ve r i f a team managed to keep getting on base o r n o te a m scored. So baseball could defy space and time.” To Bengie, “That sounded more like God than anything I heard in church.”

A locally renowned player h i m s elf, t h e father (called Pai, “short for Papi ” ) took care of the field, bringing a rake “to clear the rocks and smooth the infield divots …. He’d push a nail into the dirt beside home plate and attach a string. He’d tie the other end to the base of the outfield foul pole. He sprinkled chalk one handful at a time along the string to make straight baselines. Then he’d measure the batter’s box and chalk that, too.”

Kissed by the Baseball Gods Molina also offers a brother’s-eye view of what makes Yadier Molina one of the great catchers of his era. While Bengie was a solid hitter and two-time Golden Glove winner, his kid brother grew up to become a seven-time all-star, the winner of seven gold gloves and counting, and twice a runner-up (third and fourth) as the National League’s Most Valuable Player. At ten, Yadier was already “much better” than his older brothers had been at the same age: “He was thick and solid and had a cannon for an arm. He could already hit the ball over the fence at the park across the street …. Yadier had been kissed by the baseball gods not only with his body and talent but with being born

ed a soulmate behind the plate, it was Joaquin Andujar, who loved Bonanza and after striking someone out would sometimes point his index finger at the batter and go bang. Joaquin was known to teammates and opponents alike as a “hot dog” or, his translation, fantoche.

“I like to drive people crazy,” he admits in a classic article by Sports Illustrated’s Steve Wulf.

As it happened, the Dominican’s soulmate behind the plate was a double for Clark Kent named Darrell Porter, who came immediately to mind with the idea of the catcher as one who “manages the pitcher’s mood.” My first experience with the way television can bring you into the game was in the close-ups of the handsome, bespectacled Porter beaming sympathy and encouragement into Joaquin Adujar’s tempestuous hot dog soul at crucial moments. Porter was the Series MVP because of his bat but it was his super-hero-in-disguise presence that kept Cardinal pitchers stable and focused. The combination of soulful Porter, who struggled with substance abuse throughout his life and died at 50, and flaky Andujar, who loved the sound of rain on the roof, is one of those character mixtures that illustrate what Tony LaRussa means by beautiful baseball.

Molina and the Mets In the event that the Cardinals and the Mets meet in this year’s National League Championship Series, Mets fans will be sure to recall Yadier Molina’s role in the 2006 NLCS. In Molina, Bengie describes telepathically coaching his brother while watching a telecast of the deciding game.

In the ninth inning, with Yadier batting, the game tied 1-1, and a man on base, Bengie yells at the TV: “He’s going to throw you another changeup! Sit on it, sit on it. That’s what’s coming.” Sure enough, the next pitch was a changeup and “Yadier smashed it over the left field wall to put the Cardinals ahead 3-1. He pointed to the camera, and I pointed back. ‘I told you!’”

In the bottom of the ninth, with a rookie named Adam Wainwright pitching in relief, the Mets loaded the bases. When Yadier went to the mound to calm his pitcher, Bengie knew what he was saying: “I could almost hear him: ‘Stay back, trust in yourself, keep your focus.’” Wainwright struck out Carlos Beltran, the Cardinals won the pennant, and went on to win the World Series. ine years later, Wainwright, now the Cardinal’s ace, is coming back from what was thought to be a seasonending injury. Once again, he’ll be pitching in relief and Molina will be, Cardinal fans hope, catching and calming him.

And perhaps the Mets will be the opposing team, and it will be, as Yogi famously said, “like déjà vu all over again.”

—Stuart Mitchner

into a baseball family …. He soaked up everything we said, even when it looked like he was fooling around and not paying attention.”

Perception and Punishment You learn a lot about what it means to be a catcher in Bengie Molina’s book. As he puts it, the dugout became his “classroom,” ultimately his “graduate school,” where he learned from a more experienced catcher “how to be quiet in my body behind the plate,” “how to provide the biggest target,” how to argue with an umpire (“never face to face”), how to call a pitch while projecting “calm and confidence to all his teammates.”

Key to the course was observing the pitcher’s face and body language. “Was he still thinking about the double he gave up?

Was h e a n noyed at the second baseman’s throwing error?

Was he losing his nerve? …

Did a pitcher respond to fa i l u r e w it h productive anger? Did it make him even more competitive and determined? Or did it plunge him into a funk?

A catcher had to manage a p i t c h e r ’s mood, coaxing and cajoling like a patient father.”

As for occupational punishment, Bengie’s teacher “didn’t have a body part that hadn’t been hit by a pitch or foul tip.”

Toes, inside ankle, top of foot, inside part of heel, inside part of calf or knee or knee itself, top of knee, quadriceps muscle, inside quad, biceps, belly, ribs, chest, neck, face, shoulder, arms. Add thumb to the list, as Yadier recently learned, thanks to what is still the single most hazardous play a catcher has to make, even though it’s now against the rules for the runner to make football-style body contact to knock the ball out of the catcher’s glove.

Hurricane Joaquin Only a Cardinal fan of long standing could explain why the news about Hurricane Joaquin rouses thoughts of the 1982 World Series and “One Tough Dominican” named Andujar, who died at 62 last month and whose favorite word in English was “youneverknow.” If ever a pitcher need-

CINEMA REVIEW

He Named Me Malala

Nobel Prize-Winning Teen Illustrates Indomitability of the Human Spirit

M

sination attempt on her by one of the mullah’s followers as she was riding on a school bus.

Fortunately, Malala, who was just 15 at the time, managed to survive the bullet wound to her brain. As she lay in the hospital, her parents had no idea whether their daughter would ever even be able to walk or talk again.

She did eventually emerge from the coma, although she was deaf in one ear and needed months and months of rehabilitation. Initially, she blamed her father for her plight, since he was the one who had encouraged her activist streak. “I am a child,” she said, “You are my father. You should have stopped me. What happened to me is because of you.”

Eventually her health was substantially restored, and she became a stoic and serene symbol of resistance to radical Islam. With continued death threats hanging over their heads, the Yousafzai family (including Malalal’s mother and two younger brothers) resettled in England where she would become a champion of oppressed females everywhere.

Directed by Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim.(An Inconvenient Truth), He Named Me Malala is an engaging biopic that describes the close father-daughter relationship which enabled Malala to flourish in the midst of intolerance. Their tender interplay is enhanced by animated interludes which further intensify the sincere sentiments that are displayed on screen.

The picture shows Malala’s emergence as an international icon, that culminates with her becoming the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The movie is a powerful portrait that illustrates the indomitability of the human spirit and is easily the best film of 2015 thus far!

Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for death threats, mature themes, and disturbing images. Running time: 87 minutes. Distributor: Fox Searchlight Pictures. He Named Me Malala opened in select theaters on OctoHER FATHER CHOSE THE RIGHT NAME FOR HER: Malala Yousafzai is shown addressing the ber 2nd and will be shown United Nations General Assembly in New York. Named after a young girl who rallied her in over 2,000 theaters startcountry men to victory in 1880, Malala has become a champion of human rights for girls and ing October 9th. women everywhere.

—Kam Williams

alala Yousafzai was named after a girl who spoke out and was killed for doing it. The folk hero was a teenager who perished in 1880 while rallying fellow Pashtun resistance fighters to a victory over British invaders in a pivotal battle of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. After choosing this significant name for his daughter, Malala’s father inscribed it into his family tree which was unusual because, until then, no females had been mentioned in his genealogy that stretches back several centuries. Furthermore, her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, resolved to raise his daughter in such a way that she would see herself as the equal of any boy.

While such an approach might be unremarkable in the West, it was heretical in the Swat District of Pakistan, which was a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism in the late 20th century. During Malala’s formative years much of the country was terrorized by the Taliban, which was blowing up any schools that admitted girls.

In defiance of their mullah’s absolute mandate against education for females, Mr. Yousafzai not only allowed his daughter to matriculate, but also spurred her to speak out online as an equal rights advocate blogger. This only infuriated Mullah Fazlullah who issued a fatwa (religious decree) against her over the radio. This led to an assas-

Using Rhattigan, Defense to Overcome Ugly Conditions, PU Football Tops Columbia In Ivy Opener, Moves to 3-0

T

he conditions were miserable as the Princeton University football team hosted Columbia last Friday evening in the Ivy League opener for both squads, with a driving rain, winds gusting over 20 miles an hour, and the temperature hovering in the high 40s.

While the harsh weather kept the crowd to a few hundred in the stands at Princeton Stadium, Tiger running back Joe Rhattigan felt right at home.

“Obviously with the conditions tonight, it is harder to throw the ball but I enjoyed the game,” said Rhattigan, a 6’0, 205-pound native of Naperville, Ill. “I enjoy running the ball. I got some opportunities and I took advantage of them.”

Utilizing his battering ram style, Rhattigan rushed for 85 yards on 25 carries to help Princeton overcome Columbia 10-5 as the Tigers improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 Ivy. Rhattigan’s rugged jaunts helped Princeton run out the clock as the Tigers held the ball for the last 4:13 of the contest, denying Columbia one last shot for a win.

“We were ready to go, we had something to prove,” said Rhattigan, who rushed for 23 yards on five carries in that series.

“We had been stalled out a couple of times in the middle of the game. When it comes crunch time, it is time to go.”

In Rhattigan’s view, that last possession symbolized Princeton’s mentality this year in crunch time.

“I think coach (Bob) Surace hit the nail on the head after the game when he told us it is all about heart,” said Rhattigan, who has 213 yards rushing on the season, second best on the Tigers behind senior DiAndre Atwater’s total of 245.

Princeton Men’s Soccer Suffers Frustrating Week, Capped by Losing 1-0 at Dartmouth in Ivy Opener

GREEN DAY: Princeton University men’s soccer player Patrick Barba heads the ball in a 2014 game. Last Saturday, junior defender Barba and Princeton came up just short as the Tigers fell 1-0 at Dartmouth in the Ivy League opener for both teams. Princeton, which dropped to 3-3-1 overall and 0-1 Ivy with the loss to the Big Green, play at Brown (5-3 overall, 1-0 Ivy) on October 10.

Having started 1-2, the Princeton University men’s soccer team appeared to be on the right track, winning two straight games by a combined margin of 5-2 as it edged Boston University 2-1 before topping Binghamton 3-1.

But stumbling last week, Princeton tied American University 1-1 on September 29 and then fell 1-0 at Dartmouth last Saturday in the Ivy League opener for both teams.

In the tie with American, Princeton was outshot for just the second time this season as the Eagle built a shooting margin of 21-9.

In the view of Princeton head coach Jim Barlow, that stat was an accurate reflection of a subpar performance by the Tigers.

“We were disappointed in the game against American in part because we didn’t think it was one of our better games,” said Barlow.

“It was a combination of American being pretty good on the night and us not being as sharp as we needed to. At the end of the day we were frustrated in a lot of ways. We were frustrated that we didn’t play better, we were frustrated that we gave them a lot of chances.

We also felt that until the end that we could still win

the game. I give our guys a lot of credit for not conceding another goal on a night when things weren’t going too well for us.”

Coming into the clash at Dartmouth, the Tigers were looking sharper with the ball.

“I think in the couple of days leading up to Dartmouth we were trying to get back to moving the ball better,” said Barlow. “ We cou ld n’t s eem to connect our passes against American and we seemed to turn it over in too many parts of the field where they could move forward quickly and punish us. Dartmouth is a similar team that is good on the counterattack. We spent a lot of time to become a little safer and sharper with our passes. That was the focus leading into the Dartmouth game.”

In the early stages of the game against the Big Green, Princeton was looking good on the offensive end.

“T he first par t of t he game, we were really happy with how we were playing,” said Barlow.

“We jumped on top of them, we got into their end.

We were keeping the ball, we were stretching them out. You could sense a little bit of frustration on Dartmouth’s side because they

were home but they weren’t getting the ball. There were a couple of plays where we lost it and they were dangerous on the counter but nothing came of it.

But Dar tmout h scored against the run of the play in the 10th minute as the Tigers suffered a defensive lapse, botching a clear in front of their goal.

“The goal that we gave up was just really, really frustrating; it is something that we have to continue to improve on,” said Barlow.

“It was a ver y similar goal to the goal we gave up against Florida International (a 2-1 loss on September 12). We felt like we started the game really well and gave up a goal like that. It is still so early in the game that you are not too rattled.

We thought things were going well but it is always so hard when you give up a soft goal to get out of it.”

It looked like Princeton might get out of it when a Dartmouth player got a red card with 15 minutes left in the first half and the Big Green had to play a man down the rest of the contest.

But while the Tigers outshot the Big Green 11-6 on the game and 8-1 in the second half, they never found the back of the net in the 1-0 setback.

“They did a really good job of not giving away any space in their end; they kept everyone really deep,” said Barlow.

“We had a lot of crosses, we had a lot of free kicks, we had a lot of possession in their end. We just couldn’t get the shot off at the right time. We couldn’t generate enough really, really good chances. They made it really crowded in and around the box. We passed the ball really well, we had the ball in their end but we didn’t get dangerous enough. It was certainly a game at the end of the day that all of our guys felt like how did we not win this game when were were in their end the whole time.”

Although the loss stung, Princeton feels like it can emulate last year’s performance when it went 8-0-1 after suffering an early season loss to Dartmouth.

“We have still got a lot of games left,” said Barlow.

“We were in this position last year and we wound up getting on a really good streak and having a really good run. We think in the Ivy League that there is so much parity that one loss is not the end of the world.”

In order to get on that kind of run, the Tigers need to be tougher around the goal.

“We just have to get a little bit better in front of both goals,” asserted Barlow.

“In every game we have lost, we have outshot our opponent. That is frustrating because it says you are not doing well enough with your chances and you are giving away too many goals when you are not giving away that many chances. We need to do a better job staying tight defensively in the right moments and figuring out ways to put teams away when we are on top of them.”

Barlow, for his part, believes that his team has the mentality to figure things out as it gets back into Ivy play with a game at Brown (5-3 overall, 1-0 Ivy) on October 10.

“It is a challenge to the leadership on the team and the seniors,” said Barlow.

“We have lot of guys who have been through it before and they know what it takes; we will see over the next few games how they respond to the adversity of not playing well and getting a tie against American and then losing the first Ivy game. I think our guys have the character and resolve to weather it.”

Tere s a B e nve nut i w as down in the dumps for a few weeks last fall during her junior season with the Princeton University field hockey team, missing six games due to a broken nose.

This fall, the upbeat Benvenuti is at full strength and is savoring every minute she has been on the field.

“S om eone w as s ay i ng that we have six weeks left of the season and then I am a retired athlete,” said star midfielder Benvenuti with a chuckle.

“We are counting the days until the season ends so we are just enjoying the time while we have it.”

Benvenuti and her teammates enjoyed themselves last weekend as they topped Yale 4-0 on Saturday and then topped Penn State 2-0 a day later, improving to 5-4 overall and 2-0 Ivy League in the process.

“Penn State is a great test, we have now been 2-2 with them in my career,” said Benvenuti, a native of nearby Morristown and a former Oak Knoll School star.

“We have had some tough losses against top teams.

Coming out here after a great week of training, we really wanted to make sure that all of our hard work has been paying off and come out with a 2-0 weekend.”

In the first half against Penn State, the 20th-ranked Tigers had to work hard to keep the Nittany Lions off the scoreboard as they outshot Princeton 8-6 and generated five penalty corners.

“We just went back to the principles, marking, getting numbers around the ball, keeping your feet moving,” said Benvenuti, reflecting on the defensive effort.

“We were pretty tired from our game yesterday and we knew that Penn State is fast and they are physical. We just had to stay in there and the tide would change and it would be our game and our time.”

With the teams knotted in a scoreless stalemate at halftime, Benvenuti and the Tigers knew they had to pick up their pace.

“It was better movement, support your teammates,” recalled Benvenuti. “We are out there because we love each other and because we love the game. So it was play for each other and keep working hard when you don’t have the ball and you will get return.”

With Benvenuti working hard in the midfield, Princeton seized control of the game as Maddie Copeland scored 2:47 into the half and Natalie Catalino tallied 14 minutes later.

“I just do the simple things where I can and exploit weaknesses on the other team if I can,” said Benvenuti, reflecting on her role. “I look for my teammates and have fun.”

Princeton head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn is having fun seeing Benvenuti rise to the occasion in her final college campaign.

“Teresa is such a gifted athlete and a really good field hockey player,” said Holmes-Winn of Benvenuti, who has two goals and a team-high five assists so far this fall.

“We are fortunate to have her. She has got great perspective in general. She has a really nice way about her. She stays really balanced and I think that is a very positive thing for our team.”

ON THEIR TOES: Princeton University women’s soccer player Katie Pratt-Thompson boots the ball in recent action. Last Saturday, sophomore defender Pratt-Thompson picked up an assist to help the Tigers rally to a 3-2 overtime win at Dartmouth. Sophomore Natalie Larkin notched the game winner for Princeton five minutes into the first overtime as the Tigers won at Dartmouth for the first time in eight years.

At halftime, the Tigers got some perspective from one of Holmes-Winn’s assistant coaches, David Williamson.

“I think the most powerful thing that happened in the locker room came from David, who said you don’t want to come back in this room at the end of this game and think would have, could have, should have,” said Holmes-Winn.

“You are capable, you are right there. Just have no regrets when you come back in here. I love how they kept focused on the process and not the outcome.”

Holmes-Winn loved how freshman Elise Wing impacted the Tiger defensive effort.

“Elise’s instincts are impeccable, she is really composed on the ball defensively, “said Holmes-Winn.

“She knows when to have a step and when to influence our defensive structure really positively. Overall when you look at the 70 minutes, everyone defended. We just defended as a team. Every single person was really, really active defensively off the ball and that is going to be difficult for any team to manage.”

Getting more active offensively helped Princeton break through in the second half.

“We started moving; in the first half, we were a victim of our double turnovers, winning the ball and giving it right back,” explained Holmes-Winn.

“Once we started to control the ball in those moments, then we started to get the movement going.

We trusted the movement, we gave the ball early and we were able to get our flow from the attacking perspective.”

Former Stuar t Countr y Day and Peddie star Copeland is certainly in the flow, having scored nine goals in her last five games.

“I think things are opening up for Maddie more because she is being so much more active off the ball,” said Holmes-Winn.

“She is creating chances for herself on the defensive

side. She is coming up with a lot of balls. She is taking good lines and creating opportunities for the midfielder behind her on the intercept.

She is being really sneaky in the seam. She is a really bright player, she has a really high hockey IQ.” With the Tigers having won three straight games after a 2-4 start, Holmes-Winn likes the way her players are taking advantage of opportunity collectively.

“I can’t underscore the early bits of our season and how great it was for us to really understand where we are going to be the most effective personnel-wise and how to use our strengths,” said Holmes-Winn.

“I think we have people in the right positions for them to leverage their strengths and for me, that feels so good. I think frankly it feels really good to the whole team. I think everyone is pretty comfortable with what is expected of them.”

Holmes-Winn is expecting the Tigers to keep playing strongly this weekend as they host Columbia on October 9, looking to avenge a 3-2 loss to the Lions in 2014 that was Princeton’s lone Ivy setback last season and its first-ever defeat to the Lions.

“People see the product on the weekend but every single one of our players, all 23, just work so hard,” said Holmes-Winn.

“I think this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, was not possible without the work of the group. Penn State had a day off in between so I love to see us physiologically being able to put together two really good games. Mentally being able to stay really engaged was great, too.”

Benvenuti, for her part, believes Princeton will be engaged for the clash against Columbia.

“We are looking forward to that game and getting back our winning streak against Columbia,” said Benvenuti.

“We have a bunch of young players; it took a while to get the ball rolling and knowing how each other plays.”

Salgame, Kleiman Rally for 1st Doubles Title, As PHS Girls’ Tennis Finishes 2nd at MCT In mid- September, the Princeton High girls’ tennis first doubles team of seniors Nikhita Salgame and Rachel Kleiman fell in straight sets to the WW/PS pair of Stephanie Ji and Kim Wong in a regular season match.

Last Wednesday, the pairs ended the month by meeting in the finals of the Mercer County Tournament (MCT) and it looked like history was repeating itself as Ji and Wong won the first set in a tiebreaker.

But Kleiman sensed that she and Salgame were not going to fold in the match, which was held in the indoor tennis complex at Mercer County Park. “I think today we were definitely stronger

mentally because we realized how important it was,” said Kleiman.

“When we lost the first set, we just knew that we had to come back. We were pumping each other up.”

When PHS dropped the first two games of the second set, Salgame knew that the pair couldn’t focus on the score.

“It was love-two so it was we have nothing to lose; let’s just play for fun,” recalled Salgame.

K lei ma n a nd S a lga m e started to have a lot of fun, rallying to win the second set 6-4 and force a decisive third set.

“We found our groove and we were in a rhythm,” said

Kleiman. “There was this one game where I was serving and we had about 25 deuces; it was a 20-minute game and we finally ended up winning it. I said this is a metaphor for the match.

We fought, we fought and we are going to win. We just we knew we had to.”

In the third set, Kleiman and Salgame found themselves in a fight as an early 3-0 lead evaporated before they settled down to pull out a 6-4 win and the title.

“They came back and it was 3-all; we just had to regroup and we effectively regrouped,” added K leiman. “It was a wake-up call, we knew we needed to be sharper with our shots.

Salgame, for her part, was confident the pair wouldn’t let the title slip away. “We needed to get our momentum back,” said Salgame.

“We knew we could hit our shots and get our volleys in place.”

Getting the crown was sweet for the two seniors.

“It is our last time playing in the MCT, it is great,” said Salgame. “We have been friends the past four years, we joke around a lot on the court.”

PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert smiled as she reflected on how Kleiman and Salgame rallied for the title, providing a major highlight as PHS finished second in the team standings behind WW/P-S.

by Kleiman and Salgame at first doubles was a highlight as PHS finished second in the team standings to champion WW/P-S. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “They were able to turn it around today, be aggressive, put away their volleys and take control,” said Hibbert.

“They lost a very tough first set in a tiebreaker but I think in a way it almost gave them confidence that — hey you know what, we were right there with them today, this could go either way. They fought hard, they didn’t give up after losing that set.”

Hibbert isn’t surprised at how well the first doubles pair has come together.

“They are both seniors, they are good friends,” said Hibbert. “They complement each other well. They communicate a lot. They were able to really put it together today and that is great for them.”

The second doubles team of Maggie Herring and Caroline Tan came through to take third as did Elise Gerdes at second singles and Brinda Suppiah at third singles.

The third-place finishes by Gerdes and Suppiah were particularly heartening to Hibbert.

“Elise jumped up from second doubles and Brinda was on JV second doubles; to make that jump up to second and third singles and to score third in the county in arguably one of the toughest years is something,” said Hibbert, whose team also started state tournament play last week, topping Red Bank Regional 4-1 in the first round of the North 2, Group 3 sectional and was slated to face WW/P-S in the quar ters on October 6. “There are some really strong players. It is great for them to get a medal.”

While PHS fell short of winning a second straight county team title, Hibbert liked the way her revamped squad competed.

“I am really proud of them,” asserted Hibbert, noting that her 2015 lineup

is radically different from last year.

“You could always talk about what you don’t have this year but there is no sense in talking about that.

It is talking about who is here and what they did do and what they are capable of. These girls all worked really hard together; they have all tried as much as they can to raise the level of their games.”

first quarter touchdown as the Little Tigers took a 7-0 lead.

“I just like to go outside,” said Helstrom, who also made five receptions for 32 yards in the win. “We wanted to receive first and get the ball and get on top.

In the last couple of games, the other teams have been scoring first on us.”

PHS produced a pivotal scoring march, driving 62 yards late in the second quarter and going up 14-6 after a six-yard TD pass from Dave Beamer to Kyle Angelucci with 43 seconds left in the half.

“It definitely gave us momentum at halftime,” said Helstrom, reflecting on the drive.

Seeing action in the secondary, Helstrom helped key a superb defensive effort as PHS built on that momentum to stifle the Cardinals in the second half.

“With them only scoring six points, it was huge,” said Helstrom. “We had a shutout in the second half. We knew their formations. We just checked to the right formation in order to stop them.

We made interceptions and we have been dropping them lately.”

PHS delivered the knockout blow with a 71-yard scoring march midway through the fourth quarter that culminated on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Beamer to Matt Ochoa.

“We just knew we had to punch in another one in to put them away,” said Helstrom, who had a 25-yard run on the play before the touchdown.

PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher liked the way his defense punched back after a subpar performance in the Hightstown loss. “We were able to stuff the run for the most part,” said Gallagher.

“They got a couple of outside perimeter runs that hurt us a little bit but overall I thought we did a nice job.

We needed them to step up.

The thought process is that people are scoring a lot of points against us so this was a big game. I think, for the most part, we kept them in

the middle of the field.”

The Little Tiger offense kept Lawrence on its heels with a diversified approach.

Beamer hit on 16 - of-27 passes for 139 yards to augment Helstrom’s work on the ground.

“We are able to mix it up, we did a nice job with the run and the pass,” added Gallagher.

“In conditions like this, you are nervous, you can become one- dimensional and they start stacking the line and Rory is not much of a factor. Ryan Angelucci had a string of catches, Jakob Green and Matt Ochoa did well. We kept those guys off balance which frees up Rory to be able to run the ball.”

Crucially, PHS took better care of the ball, cutting down on its turnovers.

Rory Helstrom sensed that the ground game would be critical as the Princeton High football team played at Lawrence High last Saturday.

“We knew it was going to be messy; we wanted to just keep driving down the field,” said senior running back Helstrom.

Coming off a disappointing 35-21 loss to Hightstown on September 25, Helstrom and the Little Tigers weren’t going to let a sloppy field slow them down.

“We worked really hard in practice this week; we had three really good practices,” said Helstrom. “We were uptempo all week. We wanted to win and get back on track.”

With Helstrom carrying the load, contributing 20 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown, PHS got back on track, slogging its way through the mud to defeat Lawrence 20-6.

The hard-charging Helstorm got PHS on the board first, dashing 18 yards to the goal line pylon for a

“We talked about that in the first half, we didn’t turn the ball over,” said Gallagher.

“In the second half, we did have two turnovers. We dropped a punt and we overthrew a snap but we were 0-4 on turnovers last week so that was key.”

This Saturday, PHS faces a key Valley Division contest as it plays at Steinert (2-1).

“I think we are right back in the thick of things,” said Gallagher. “Obviously we have a little bit of momentum coming off of a victory. We will have a little bit more confidence. At the same time, I don’t think we are good enough yet to beat Steinert. We have to have a good week of practice. We have got to start on Monday.”

In Helstrom’s view, topping Lawrence is a good step forward. “It will definitely get us better for next week,” said Helstrom.

With the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team having gone undefeated in its first eight games coming into its clash against visiting Lawrenceville last Saturday, the squad’s calling card has been an even distribution of talent.

“We are starting to receive a lot of balance across the field,” said PDS head coach Pat Trombetta.

“We have a top notch keeper (Grace Barbara), our back four has been solid. We are getting some good play out of our midfield now.

Hannah Bunce is having a breakout year.”

Against rival Lawrenceville, PDS was determined to break out of the gate quickly.

“We came out wanting to get on the scoreboard first,” said Trombetta. “It was very windy. We had the wind at our backs in the first half and we wanted to take advantage of that. Last year was a great game at their place, it was high tempo and very exciting. It ended in a double overtime draw so we said this year we have to come out first and be the aggressor.”

Emerging junior star Bunce executed that plan as the Panthers tallied two unanswered goals in the first half and never looked back on the way to a 2-0 win.

“Hannah had the first goal and she set up the second goal,” said Trombetta.

Sophomore transfer Damali Simon-Ponte was on the receiving end of Bunce’s feed for the second goal.

“Damali has been a great addition,” asserted

Trombetta. “She has got excellent footwork and she is our playmaker out there.

She is becoming more comfortable in our system of play. We expect big things from her down the road.”

Having some big players on defense has helped PDS thwart its foes. “If you look at our back four, we have great size back there with Becca Kuzmicz, Madison Coyne, and Izzy Meyercord,” said Trombetta, whose team blanked Lawrence High 2-0 last Monday to improve to 9-0-1 and record its eighth straight shutout.

“E m i ly S i m on s i s t h e smallest player back there but probably the most tenacious. They have come along very well as a unit. Madison is only a sophomore but she is probably the quarterback of our defense. She is gifted and she is a very confident player back there. It has been a great addition to our back line.”

Sophomore goalie Barbara displayed her gifts in the win over Lawrenceville, recording 10 saves, including a number of key stops.

“Grace wasn’t really battle tested technically until Saturday, that is how good a job the back four has been doing,” noted Trombetta.

“She hasn’t been making a lot of big saves but we needed her against Lawrencev ille ; she had four or five quality saves and a couple of big ones.”

PDS has been getting some quality play from freshman midfielders Madison McCaw and Kelsey Lane.

“They have become more confident with more

minutes,” said Trombetta.

“They are two people that we weren’t really counting on for a lot in the central midfield coming in and, with some injuries, we moved them there. They are doing a great job, they are getting comfortable.”

The Panthers are getting some great leadership from co-captains Meyercord and Abby Atkeson.

“Izzy missed the last two years due to injury and she is the only senior so she had the pressure of being a leader on the team but also trying to stay healthy and stay on the field,” said Trombetta.

“I think she is doing a tremendous job. Abby Atkeson is the other captain and she leads by example. She is the most versatile player out there. Her tenacity and work rate is unmatched. We need a lot more players like her out there.”

The triumph over Lawrenceville made it a special day on the job for Trombetta as it marked the 100th victory of his PDS tenure.

“To me it is a sign that we are doing something right,” said Trombetta, reflecting on hitting the century mark. “I am really proud of what we have done over these eight and a half years to get 100 wins. I have been fortunate to have a lot of good players.”

With the postseason around the corner, Trombetta is looking to add many more wins to that total over the next several weeks.

“I think what we are seeing is more confidence and the momentum is building up each week,” said Trombetta, whose team will look to keep on the winning track when it plays at Hill School (Pa.) on October 7 and at Morristown on October 13.

“It is a young team but a number of these girls have played in prep championships and the county championship so I think that experience is going to be a plus during the stretch run.”

Senior Standout Karchere-Sun Shines at 1st Singles As PDS Girls’ Tennis Places 5th in County Tourney Although the Princeton Day School girls’ tennis squad was out of the running for the team title at the Mercer County Tournament, by the time the singles finals started, Renee Karchere-Sun was primed to produce a championship performance.

Facing top -seeded and nationally ranked Claudia Siniakowicz of WW/P-S in the finals at first singles last Wednesday at the indoor tennis complex at Mercer County Park, PDS senior star Karchere-Sun showed no fear.

Sur viving an early onslaught from Siniakowicz, Karchere-Sun got into a rhythm and won the first set 6 -3. Siniakow icz responded by taking the first five games of the second set but Karchere-Sun rallied to win three straight games.

Karchere-Sun dropped the next game to lose the set 6-3 and then couldn’t regain momentum as Siniakowicz rolled 6-0 in the third set to pull out the title.

PDS head coach Ed Tseng was proud of Karchere-Sun’s run as she made finals for the first time.

“Renee had a really good tournament, unfortunately she didn’t pull through in the final,” said Tseng. “It could have gone either way, in my opinion.”

Ts e n g l i k e d t h e w a y Karchere-Sun kept fighting to the final point of the match.

“Renee played a great first set and even in the second and third sets she played well,” said Tseng, whose squad ended up taking fifth in the team standings at the MCT as WW/P-S won the crown.

“She didn’t give up, that is really the main thing I look at, leaving it all out on the court.”

In Tseng’s view, KarchereSun has given the Panthers more than just good play on the court.

“Having her first singles is great for us, she has really developed as a player,” said Tseng.

“I think she has been playing smarter and steadier, being aggressive at the right time. The best part is that she is a great kid. She is a great person, that is more what we focus on.”

PDS got some aggressive play at second doubles from Anna Kovacevich and Giulia Gerschel as they took fourth.

The pair lost a marathon three-setter to Minu Sadeghi Isfajaui and Natalie Sun of Peddie in the semis before falling to the Princeton High pair of Maggie Herring and Caroline Tan 6-2, 6-2 in the third-place match.

“They really wanted that one in the semi,” said Tseng,

noting that Gerschel was a fill-in for Tauria Salvati, who was sidelined by a leg injury.

“They kind of took the foot off the gas a little bit and couldn’t pull through. It was close and just getting to the semis is pretty good.”

With PDS going after a four th consecutive state Prep B title later in the month, Tseng believes that competing at the MCT will help his team pull through down the stretch.

“This county is ver y tough,” said Tseng. “We always look to try to take it because anything is possible. It is always one of the highlights of the season. Regardless of whether you win the whole thing or not, it is good for our players for the rest of the season and the Prep B.” —Bill Alden

Featuring Balance All Over the Field, PDS Girls’ Soccer Produces 9-0-1 Start

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, OCTObER 7, 2015 • 30

Hun Field Hockey Emerging as Positive Surprise, Producing 5-Game Winning Streak to Start 6-1-1 When the Hun School field hockey team lost 2-1 to previously winless WW/P-S in mid-September, it proved to be a wake-up call for the Raiders.

“It was a really disap pointing game because I thought we played hard but I don’t think we played our best,” said Hun head coach Kathy Quirk. “I told them that if they weren’t disappointed then something was wrong.”

Little has gone wrong for Hun since that setback as the Raiders have posted five straight wins to improve to 6-1-1.

“They are just a fun group of girls,” said Quirk, reflecting on her squad’s hot streak. “They work hard, they support each other. I am pleased with the performance that I am getting from them.”

Quirk was really pleased with the performance she got last Monday as Hun

pu l le d ou t a 3 -2 ove r time win against powerful Princeton High, last year’s county tournament runnerup, with junior forward Julie Fassl scoring all three Raider goals and senior goalie Shannon Dargan making 30 saves.

“That was a big win for us,” said Quirk. “I told the girls that it shows we can play with the best if we put our minds to it. It was a great game.”

The combination of Fassl and sophomore Julia Revock has been giving Hun some great work at the offensive end.

“Julie is really stepping it up,” said Quirk of Fassl, who had another hat trick in a recent 4-1 win over Lawrence.

“I had moved her to the middle of the field and I just didn’t have what I wanted from her there so I moved her back to the outside. She has been doing a great job

SUPER SAVER: Hun School field hockey goalie Shannon Dargan makes a stop in a game earlier this season. Last Monday, senior Dargan made 30 saves to help Hun rally for a 3-2 overtime victory against Princeton High. The Raiders, who improved to 6-1-1 with the victory as they posted their fifth straight win, play at Academy of New Church (Pa.) on October 7 and at Blair Academy on October 10.

of carrying the ball down the field and being at the right place at the right time in front of the goal cage. Julia was out for a bit, we thought she had a stress fracture and was going to miss a lot of the season but she is back.

She is in the center of the field, which enabled me to move Julie to the outside.”

Senior newcomer Christina Sickmueller, a native of South Africa, has kept things moving in the middle of the field for Hun. “We actually moved her up to the midfield to try to get a little more offense out of her,” said Quirk. “She did score a goal for us against Stuart. We are trying to get a little more offensive work out of her and she seems to be answering the call.”

Goalie Dargan, along with senior Katie Consoli and junior Sophia Albanese, have answered the call on defense.

“Shannon is doing well, I think she has confidence in herself,” said Quirk.

“She dives for the ball but gets right back up, which is really good. She works well with her defense. We have Katie Consoli back there at sweeper and she has been doing a great job of staying low and keeping the ball out of the circle. Sophia Albanese is just having a great year. She comes up and is our insert on short corners. She is doing a nice job for us.”

Quirk is hoping her squad can stay on fire as it heads into the homestretch.

“The meat of our schedule comes now so we have to really be able to focus; putting the ball in the cage and keeping them out of the circle,” said Quirk, whose team plays at Academy of New Church (Pa.) on October 7 and at Blair Academy on October 10.

“It has just been a real team effort and everyone seems to be doing their job and doing what they have to do. We have no superstars; we just have a bunch of kids who really are working hard.”

Sparked by Smarr’s Energy Off the Bench, Hun Boys’ Soccer Rallies to Beat ANC 4-2 At first glance, it doesn’t appear that freshman defender Elijah Smarr is likely to have a major impact when he comes off the bench for the Hun School boys’ soccer team.

Standing at about 5 feet tall and weighing in the neighborhood of 100 pounds, the diminutive Smarr seems physically overmatched on the field.

But Smarr isn’t about to let his small stature prevent him from coming up big for the Raiders.

“It is all about making the play happen when you are on the field, not dwelling about being on the bench but enjoying the time I am on the field and trying to be the best player I can on the field,” said Smarr.

“Since I am a smaller guy, trying to play with the bigger guys is a challenge.”

Last Thursday against the Academy of New Church (Pa.), Smarr made a huge play for Hun, racing down the sideline to slide a volley into the back of the net to give the Raiders a 3-2 lead.

Smarr’s tally proved to be the difference as the Raiders tacked on a late score to earn a come-from-behind 4-2 victory.

“It was more instinct than anything; the coaches were telling me keep pushing forward but don’t do it every time,” said Smarr, recalling the game-winning play.

“That is what I did and it was a great reward.”

With Hun trailing ANC 2-1 at halftime, the Raider coaches were telling the players to keep pushing collectively.

“At the half we had a talk about how we are a better team than that and we shouldn’t be playing down to them,” said Smarr. “We can perform much better than we did. We tried to possess as much as we could in their half.”

Hun’s second-half possession led to a game-tying

goal by Michael Campbell, which turned the tide of the contest.

“It was a great push for the team, we knew that we could do it, “ said Smarr, referring to Campbell’s tally.

“It was a big step forward for us.”

Hun head coach Pat Quirk thought Hun took a step forward with its comeback win.

“We have got comeback in us which is good,” said Quirk. “I would like us to get ahead and stay ahead.

Against Germantown (a 5-3 win on September 26), we went up 2-0 and they tied it, we went up 3-2 and they tied it and eventually we were able to pull away. I think we just take too many plays off at times and we stop focusing on what we need to do to win, which is to possess the ball, play to feet and win 50/50 balls.”

Hun got off to a good start against ANC, jumping out to 1-0 lead on a goal by Campbell only to yield two unanswered goals to trail 2-1 at halftime.

“You have to believe we can do it, it was only 2-1,” said Quirk. “We should have been winning by a few goals.

I thought we had played some solid soccer and we were just getting overanxious. We saw these long runs and we were trying to play these long balls on the slick surface that just weren’t working. The one goal we got, we pinged it around and played it down the line on the ground, not in the air and we got a good one.”

Campbell’s solid finishing made a difference for the Raiders “Michael can get dangerous,” said Quirk of Campbell, who scored both goals as Hun edged

the George School (Pa.) last Saturday to improve to 4-2 and match last year’s win total already.

“He has got speed, he can dribble, we are trying to get him to jell. Originally we thought he could be a guy we could send long but he likes the ball at his feet and that is what we are working with. Each day we try to figure out how the guys work together.”

Smarr’s spirited work off the bench has been a spark for Hun. “Elijah is one of the most underestimated kids,” said Quirk.

“His feet are great and he has great vision of the field. He probably can’t go a full game but he is a kid that gives you a little energy off the bench because guys underestimate him. He does well against bigger kids, he is not afraid, that gets other guys going on the team.

When he wins a tackle, the kids get going.”

Continuing to show improved game, junior midfielder Gunnar Schellscheidt scored the final tally for the Raiders.

“Gunnar worked really hard and he had a good game against Germantown, with a goal and an assist,” said Quirk.

“He is just a kid who works hard and goes hard on tackles. He is getting his passing better. He has stuff to build on.”

Smarr, for his part, sees good stuff ahead for Hun based on its rally against ANC. “It shows that we have a lot of grit and a lot of heart,” said Smarr. “A lot of teams underestimate us this year since we did so poorly last year but we have a lot to offer this year. We are going to give some good teams a good battle this year.”

Last November, Ashley Maziarz blasted in a free kick from about 30 yards out in the first half to give the Hun School girls’ soccer team a 1-0 lead over Pennington in the state Prep A title game.

M a z i a r z’s t h u n d e r b o l t helped spark Hun to a 2-0 victor y over Pennington, snapping its 11-year title streak.

When the rivals met last week for the first time since that historic contest, Kendall Dandridge did her best Maziarz imitation.

With the September 29 game locked in a scoreless stalemate, Hun sophomore defender Dandridge took a pass from Jess Johnson at almost the same spot as Maziarz’s kick and volleyed it into the back of the net to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead.

“I heard my coach (Joanna Hallac) say on the sideline to Jess (Johnson), pass it over to me,” said Dandridge. “We usually don’t do that play, it just doesn’t seem to work.

We tried it and I thought I would give it a shot and fire it as hard as I could at the goal. I just wanted to get it over the goalie’s head.”

With one season of high school soccer under her belt, Dandridge is looking to be more of a force at both

ends of the field this fall.

“It is definitely a goal of mine, even outside Hun,” said Dandridge. “I play club and my coaches have been telling me to try to get more offensive minded as well.”

D a n d r i d g e ’s s t r i k e , though, proved to be Hun’s only score as the Raiders fell 2-1 to an inspired Pennington squad.

“Coming off last year, we knew that this team was going to be on our backs,” said Dandridge.

“We are their first target and they are trying to win their title back. We wanted to come out as strong as we possibly could and I think we left it all out there on the field. We worked hard, we worked together. We definitely improved from the beginning of the season so I think we are on the way to progress.”

Dandridge was busy all over the field as she marked Pennington freshman star Jaydin Avery.

“I had to be on her the whole game, that was definitely a challenge,” said Dandridge.

Hun head coach Joanna Hallac liked the way her team battled all game long against Pennington.

“Both teams fought hard

until the end,” said Hallac.

“I think it was definitely an improvement in the intensity level and in the way we were playing together and combining. We did a lot of really nice things today and we just got a little unlucky. We had a couple of mental lapses, just brief ones, but that is all it takes sometimes.”

Dandridge’s tally brought back some really nice memories for Hallac. “We were all thinking about Ashley on the bench,” said Hallac.

“I was saying to Jess, ‘see Kendall, see Kendall.’ They weren’t stepping in on her and I said might as well because she can nail the ball from out there. She is getting more involved and that is what I was really hoping to see.”

In Hallac’s view, Dandridge also stepped up on defense as she marked Pennington star Avery.

“I thought she did a really nice job of containing Jaydin,” added Hallac. “She is a tough player, she has got unbelievable speed. I thought Kendall did a great job of matching up with her.

Hopefully we will get to see them again and use what we learned today going forward.”

In the loss to Pennington, Hun got some great work from a number of players including junior midfielder Abby Gray, junior defender Julia Salerno, and senior cocaptain Johnson.

“I thought Abby Gray had a nice game today; I think Julia Salerno had a nice game,” said Hallac.

“Jess had a nice, consistent game. I think she is always confident but she had a couple of games that were not her usual standard, although still a high level, but I thought this was a confidence builder for her.”

Freshman goalie L eah Sutphen also per for med at a high level. “Leah Sutphen had a superb game and made some truly great saves,” asserted Hallac. “It was her first start and she really stepped up and did a great job.”

With Hun off to a shaky start, Hallac is looking for her team to step things up.

“We have had a tough schedule, we don’t have a lot of easy ones,” said Hallac, whose team fell 2-0 to Germantown Academy (Pa.) last Thursday to drop to 1-4 and plays at the Blair Academy on October 10 before hosting East Brunswick on October 13.

“I think it is just making sure we are staying positive and not dwelling on the losses as much as learning from where we fell a little short and just working hard in practice to improve.”

Dandridge, for her part, is determined to be a positive force for the Raiders.

“I just need to take more of a leadership role and I am pretty confident about that,” said Dandridge.

“Trying to figure things out without the players we had last year is definitely a battle.”

C. K. Williams C. K. Williams, an acclaimed poet and faculty member at Princeton University whose writing embraces the full breadth of the human experience, died Sept. 20 of multiple myeloma at his home in Hopewell, New Jersey. He was 78.

Williams, a former lecturer with the rank of professor in the Council of the Humanities and the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing, joined Princeton in 1995 and retired on July 1, 2013.

“He was a great poet, one of the few who still believed that poetry can indeed have an impact in the world,” said Paul Muldoon, the Howard G.B. Clark ’21 University Professor in the Humanities and professor of creative writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts.

Williams, whose work often highlights war, politics, and social injustice, won virtually every major writing award in the field of poetry throughout a career that spanned six decades. “Repair” was awarded the 2000 Pulitzer Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Award; The Singing won the National Book Award for 2003; and Flesh and Blood received the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1987.

Other books of poetry include Wait, Collected Poems, Writers Writing Dying and All at Once. His most recent collection of poetry, Selected Later Poems, was published Sept.

22. His most recent book of essays, In Time: Poems, Poets, and the Rest, was published in 2012. He completed another collection of poems, Falling Ill, before his death.

Williams published translations of Sophocles’ Women of Trachis, Euripides’ Bacchae and poems of Francis Ponge, among others. He also wrote a memoir and two children’s books.

At Princeton, Williams taught creative writing, introductory and advanced poetry, dramatic adaptation, and literary translation including The Art of Imitation: Translation

In addition to the Pulitzer and the National Book Award, Williams’ fellowships and awards number in the dozens and include the 2005 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, which includes a $100,000 award; a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1974; the PEN/Voelker Career Achievement Award in Poetry, and the Berlin Prize from the American Academy in Berlin, both in 1998; and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Literature Award in 1999; among others. He served as editor of several poetry and essay collections.

His work sifts through the experiences and observations of everyday life, catching the details that can so readily lead to the big questions about life and the big emotions of love and despair. The 40 poems in “Repair,” for example, focus on hurt and healing, while exploring such themes as love, memory, social disorder, the natural world, the Holocaust and American race relations.

When his memoir, Misgivings: My Mother, My Father, Myself, was published in 2000, he told the Princeton Weekly Bulletin, “What inspires me now are tensions, social and personal, and the movements of language which promise to take me places I haven’t yet been.”

His work gained early renown in the late 1960s for its vehemence against the Vietnam War and its moral reflection of the Civil Rights movement. His poem “In the Heart of the Beast,” about the killing of student protesters at Kent State and Jackson State universities in 1970, begins: “this is fresh meat right mr nixon?”

At that time, Williams wrote in an urgent style, using short lines and minimal punctuation to project his anger about the war. Gradually, over the next decade, Williams began to write poetry with longer lines, a signature style that at times garnered both favorable comparisons with Walt Whitman and criticism for being too much like prose.

In fact, Williams wrote a study of Walt Whitman, On Whitman (2010), part of the Princeton University Press series Writers on Writers.

“Everyone, including Charlie, has noticed the affinity of his poetry to Whitman’s, both in its long line and its largeness, its inclusiveness, the way it can rise to the prophetic in a way that contemporary poetry seldom does,” said James Richardson, a professor of creative writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts. “But the core of his work is something far more personable, absolutely life-size. It’s a voice speaking to you, just you, across a small table, thoughtful and tender, excited and vulnerable. It says everything you hadn’t quite thought of, or weren’t quite ready to say aloud.”

Richardson said that Williams treated everyone, colleagues as well as his students, as the same age. “He was always at your level. Well, metaphorically anyway: actually he was about a foot taller than I am, and our hugs were a little incongruous. When we sat down to dinner with him, there was always his piercing friendliness.”

the tiniest details of life from the viewpoint of a careful observer — a toddler tripping, a woman showing a bug bite on her arm — larger themes of war and politics dominate much of his work, such as the two poems “War” and “Fear” in The Singing, which examine the events of 9/11 and their aftermath. In the last decade, the threat of global warming also has permeated his work.

Williams and his wife, Catherine Mauger, a jewelry designer and native of France, divided their time between his home in Hopewell and a house in Normandy. The two met by chance at an airline ticket counter when their flight was delayed.

In addition to Mauger, Williams is survived by a son, Jed; a daughter, Jessica Burns, from his first marriage; sonin-law Michael Burns; a sister, Lynn Williams; a brother, Richard; and three grandchildren. Also among his surviving relatives is his first cousin N. Jeremy Kasdin, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, and vice dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton.

A memorial service will be held at the University at a later date.

He enjoyed academic research and writing but he was also passionate about sharing his love of poetry and theater with students. He formed many lifelong friendships with them, inspiring many to continue studying Latin American literature. He saw teaching as a mutual learning experience and even after retirement, he remained active in teaching through Rutgers’ lifelong learning center and later at Stonebridge, where he expanded the subject of his classes to other subjects that he loved, such as English poetry and drama. He also helped start the Stonebridge Library and worked there for 11 years.

He loved Dixieland jazz and avidly collected recordings and sought out performances of his favorite musicians.

He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Helen Thode Dauster; son Robert and his wife Marjorie Allen Dauster; son Nicholas Dauster and his wife Victoria Wing; grandsons Robert and his wife Gabrielle and their son Chase; and grandson James, with whom he shared a love of poetry; brother Robert, his wife Connie, and their sons Peter and Chris and their families.

Memorial contributions may be made to UNICEF or the Mary Jacobs Memorial Library, 64 Washington Street, Rocky Hill, NJ 08553.

Wendy Fruland Hopper Wendy Fruland Hopper died Sunday, September 27, 2015 after a hard fought battle with cancer. She passed away peacefully with her husband and her three daughters by her side.

Born in New York City, she grew up in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. She attended Miss Fines School and graduated from The Oldfields School in Glencoe, Maryland and Colby Sawyer Junior College in New London, New Hampshire. After graduation from Colby Sawyer she worked for Time-Life in New York City for several years. She and her husband moved to Princeton in 1970 where they have been lifetime residents.

An accomplished equestrian, she competed in several different disciplines. As a member of the Amwell Valley Hounds, she was also an avid fox hunter. In addition to her riding interests, she enjoyed the outdoors of the Adirondacks. From her home in Keene Valley, New York she would climb the mountains, fish and hike the streams, and row the lakes.

A gardener, she was a past president of the Stony Brook Garden Club.

She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Arthur Hopper; and three daughters, Allison Skinner of San Rafael, California; Emily Carifa of Far Hills, New Jersey; and Hilary Hopper of Burlington, Vermont.

To her fi ve grandchildren she was known affectionately as “Gobgob”. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the North Country SPCA, Elizabethtown, New York.

Obituaries

in Theory and Practice, cotaught with Sandra Bermann, the Cotsen Professor of the Humanities, and Translation and Adaptation for the Stage, co-taught with Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center and a senior lecturer in theater.

“You never had to guess where Charlie stood on a piece of work,” Cadden said.

“In most classes, he ranged all over the place, emotionally and intellectually, in relation to our students’ work. It could make for a wild ride.

“His pedagogical generosity took the form of absolute honesty, expressed sometimes with laughter, sometimes with fury, sometimes with boredom,” Cadden said. “It was clear to the students that he had the highest expectations about the work they could produce, and they did all they could to live up to those expectations.”

Cadden added that his favorite fact about Williams — who was born Charles Kenneth Williams in Newark, New Jersey, in 1936, and grew up in South Orange and the suburbs of Philadelphia — was that the comedian Jerry Lewis was one of his childhood babysitters.

Williams served as an adviser for hundreds of students during his time at Princeton, including Chenxin Jiang, a 2009 alumna who remembers Williams as a great teacher and mentor as well as a gifted poet.

She said taking Williams’ class on translating poetry as a sophomore “shaped the rest of my Princeton experience as well as my subsequent career. C. K. taught us to love translating as a way of reading poetry, weighing the words in each line.” On the last day of that class, Williams asked Jiang to stay in touch with him, and over the next year, while studying in England, she sent him a poem each week, translated from Chinese, Italian, and German. “He read it promptly and sent me thoughtful, line-by-line comments,” she said.

Jiang said getting her creative writing thesis — a translation of the work of a young German poet — published in literary magazines launched her career in literary translation; this year, HarperCollins will publish her first translated book.

Williams began his undergraduate studies at Bucknell University, having been recruited for basketball — he stood six-feet-five-inches — but later transferred to the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). When he decided he wanted to be a poet, he dropped out to live in Paris, but returned to school several months later and graduated in 1958. He then attended Penn’s graduate writing program but did not finish. Poetry magazine first published his work in 1964 and his first book of poetry, Lies, was published by Houghton Mifflin in 1969, at the urging of Anne Sexton, whom he met at a poetry reading.

Before coming to Princeton, he taught at the YMCA in Philadelphia in the mid-1970s, then at Drexel University, George Mason University, and Franklin and Marshall College.

SHOWING YOUR HOME FOR SUCCESS What is it that makes a buyer choose one home over another similarly priced property?

Often the buyer will say that one home just felt better. How can you, as a seller, achieve an advantage over other homes on the market?

One secret is to create a positive emotional impact by appealing to the senses. Before your home is shown to a prospective buyer, turn on all the lights and open the curtains.

Next, be aware of the sense of smell. Natural fragrances such as citrus are always appealing. Toss orange or lemon rind into the disposal before a showing and consider a light natural room spray.

Finally, turn off every noise-making device in your home with the exception of your music system. Soft instrumental music should be the only sound. If you have an answering machine, make sure it is mute. Nothing breaks the spell like a personal message blaring over the speaker while buyers are trying to envision themselves living in your home!
