Hundreds Join Vigil, Prayer Service for Tree of Life Victims

Berkshire Hathaway Fox & Roach Realtors . .26, 27

More than 700 filled the Nassau Presbyterian Church sanctuary Sunday evening to pray, sing, and mourn the victims of last weekend’s massacre at Tree of Life Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill section of Pittsburgh. “The service reflected the desire of our community to be together, to be in solidarity with Jews across the world, to be mourning together the death of 11 Jews in Pittsburgh,” said the Rev. Dave Davis, senior pastor of Nassau Presbyterian and one of the organizers of the interfaith vigil, along with Rabbi Adam Feldman and the Princeton Clergy Association. Organized in less than 24 hours, the community prayer service included remarks by Feldman, Davis, Imam Chebli of the Islamic Society of Central Jersey, prayers led by other area clergy, and comments by Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert and officers of the Princeton Police Department (PPD). The gathering also included a variety of music, the reading of Psalm 23 in Hebrew and in English, and the lighting of 11 candles for those who perished. “It was important to go to a place where you feel supported, where you feel we’re in this together and we’re going to make it through,” said the Rev. Bob Moore, executive director of the Coalition for Peace Action. “It was heartening to see such a big turnout, people from across the faith spectrum. It was very uplifting and empowering.” Davis added, “It was both remarkable and heartbreaking.” Feldman, expressing his gratitude for the support of the Princeton community

Council, BOE Candidates Head to Finish Line

With just six days to go until the November 6 election, three candidates for two spots on Princeton Council and five candidates for three positions on the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) are looking to the culmination of a vigorous campaign. For Council, Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson are running a joint campaign on the Democratic ticket against Republican candidate Lisa Wu. The candidates for BOE include Betsy Kalber Baglio, Mary Clurman, Daniel J. Dart, Dafna Kendal, and Brian McDonald. Through media, public forums, lawn signs, and elsewhere, the candidates have all presented their views over the past few months, but each candidate was given the opportunity to state briefly once more “why Princeton residents should vote for you.”

must be reviewed, and we will insist on a transparent budget process with maximum public participation. We will explore opportunities for low-impact commercial development to build our tax base, and pursue shared service agreements with public and private partners. We must also work to maintain cost-effective social, recreational, and environmental programs. “We are committed to making Princeton more affordable for middle-class families. We will support zoning changes that encourage the building of ‘missing middle’ homes which diversify our housing stock while preserving the unique character of our town. Above all, we value and will work to maintain the vibrant diversity in

For those who have been enjoying the free parking on local streets in recent weeks, the party is almost over. On November 5, Princeton’s new “smart” parking meters will be up and running, so it will be back to paying to park at the 1,100 metered spaces throughout town. There has been some confusion about why the old meters were removed before the new ones were ready to go. According to Princeton Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton, it was an issue of height. “The new meter equipment is a different size than our existing meter equipment,”

Niedergang and Williamson wrote, “We care deeply about Princeton, and our goal in creating ‘A Princeton for All’ represents a steadfast commitment to ensure that our town is welcoming and inclusive — and that our municipal government is fiscally responsible, committed to affordability, and dedicated to sustainable growth. “We will prioritize growing concerns about property taxes and commit to holding the line on municipal taxes (22 percent of our property taxes) by scrutinizing local government spending. All programs

our town and to ensure that our community’s advantages are available to all Princetonians.” Lisa Wu stated, “I want to salute my opponents for maintaining an attitude of civility often lacking in today’s political climate. I propose a different approach to Princeton politics as usual. My campaign has convinced me that the biggest concern of most residents is their property taxes. Taxes are becoming a serious problem for residents of modest means. I am distressed that our local elected officials are not doing anything about it and they won’t until they realize that there are political consequences for inaction. I want Council Continued on Page 8

New Parking Meters Almost Ready To Go Live On Princeton Streets

she explained. “With the LED screen readout, the new meters needed to be a little bit shorter in order to be viewed properly. So we had to take out the old meters and cut the poles before installing the new ones. That’s why we had the gap.” It has been more than a decade since Princeton updated its parking meters. The replacement program is part of an overall parking project that is being unveiled in stages. Meter hours have been streamlined, and are now the same in all metered Continued on Page 10

nership behind the project changed from Princeton Property Partners to Pr inceton MacL ean L LC during the two years since it was approved in February 2016, necessitating an extension of the original zoning approvals since they had lapsed. The 1924 building “is an architectural gem in the community,” Zinder said. “It’s a unique structure. It was cited as a contributing structure when the Witherspoon- Jackson Historic Dist r ict was established last year. It has some simple federal-style detailing, but it was done originally as an Elks Lodge, and they didn’t follow through with all the detailing because of costs. But it has a cornice and entry that are rather traditional. What makes it a gem is that there really is no building in the neighborhood that looks like it.” The Masons purchased the building in 1945, and it was in use until it was bought two years ago by a group of developers working in tandem with Zinder. T h e e x te r ior, w h i ch i n cludes a Masonic plaque at the second floor level, will be restored, and a modern stair tower will be added on one side. “We’re making very minor modifications to the structure,” said Zinder. “We were just looking to provide accessibility for fire and things like that. The design adds a stair tower as a separate element of metal and glass, in order not to compete with the historic lodge. The tower will also provide storage and space for a future elevator.” The volume of the building will not change, and the design w ill maintain the original character, height, and scale. But t he inte rior, which was originally planned to have six apartments rather than 10, will be markedly different. “It’s interesting, because the way we looked at the building it was a bit like a Jenga — a puzzle. We thought, how can we fit u n i q u e ap a r t m e nt s i nto this volume, which we were not changing?” said Zinder. “When the partnership was planning for six units, it was hard to make that financially viable when running the numbers. So now we have 10.” On two floors, the units will include five duplexes, one two-bedroom flat, two studios, and two one-bedrooms. The affordable units are one of the studios and the two-bedroom flat. The building is sustainab l y d e s i g n e d , a n d t h e

par tners w ill seek Goldlevel certification under the LEED for Existing Buildings standard from the U.S. Green Building Council. Green building components i n clu d e e n er g y - ef f icie nt mechanical systems and fixtures, bike parking, new trees, and plantings. Parking for 11 vehicles will be provided. Back in Februar y 2016 when the project was first approve d, rent s for t he m a r ke t r ate u n i t s we r e projected as ranging from about $1,500 to $2,500. But Zinder said he does not have current figures on what the rents will be. He is hoping to have the units ready for occupancy in about nine months. “But this is an old building, so there are certainly challenges,” he said. “It is not an easy project. But we’re excited about it.” —Anne Levin

Concert of Remembrance For Victims of Gun Violence

T A N G L E D

B L U E

Handcrafted in platinum, this very fine sapphire is an impressive 10 carats, flanked with two cadillac cut diamonds. The notable setting has diamonds on the prongs, undercarriage, and sides for a truly magnificent ring.

A Concert of Remembrance for Victims of Gun Violence will start at 5 p.m. Saturday, November 3 at Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, 124 Witherspoon Street. The concert has occurred annually since the death of Trayvon Martin, and emphasizes young victims like him. It is co-sponsored by the Church and by the Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA). Aside from music directed by Beverly Owens, the music director of the church, there will be poetry and remarks by the Rev. William D. Carter III, pastor of Pemberton United Methodist Church; and by the Rev. Robert Moore, executive director of CFPA. Members of the public are invited free of charge. There will be baskets out for a free will offering toward the music ministry of the church. The Concert will be followed by a light meal, which is also free. For more information, visit peacecoalition.org or call (609) 924-5022. “This event offers a timely expression of remembrance of so many victims of gun violence, especially in the wake of the horrible mass shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh on October 27. In addition, two clergy from the region will offer challenging and inspirational messages about what average citizens can do to address America’s epidemic of gun violence,” said Moore.

Question of the Week:

“What is your favorite scary movie?” (Photographs by Charles R. Plohn)

Erik: “I’m going to have to say Get Out. It’s not the scariest movie I’ve ever seen, but it’s the most well-made.” Tomisin: “My all-time favorite scary movie is Child’s Play. Chucky was pretty scary when I was younger. He’s crazy.” —Erik Taylor-Lash, Orland, Maine, with Tomisin Fasawe, Ondo, Nigeria, both Princeton University '21

Ayla: “The remake of It. I didn’t see the original, but that was so scary.” Mahfer: “All the Conjuring movies.” —Ayla Mauk with Mahfer Tahir, both of Pennington

Delany: “Annabelle. Scariest doll ever.” Elysia: “Flatliners.” —Delaney Janks, Pennington with Elysia Rodrigues, Titusville

Hector: “My favorite scary movie of all-time is probably Sinister. I remember leaving the movie theater and just feeling sheer terror.” Alexander: “The scariest movie I would recommend is called It Follows. The concept of the movie is just so creepy. Think of something that continues to follow you. If you stop moving it kills you, so you must constantly stay moving.” —Hector Betanzos, Los Angeles, Calif., with Alexander Lopez, Dominican Republic, both Princeton University '22

Matthew: “It has to be John Carpenter’s The Thing. I love that movie. The special effects are just the best in it.” Cheyenne: “My favorite scary movie is the original The Purge.

Finish Line

Mercer County Property Taxpayers:

If you want to lower your property taxes you need to vote for Freeholder candidates

Mary R WALKER, Michael SILVESTRI, Cynthia LARSEN

Why should I care who my Freeholders are? What do the Freeholders do? Mercer County has a 7-person board of Freeholders. They are elected for staggered three year terms. Their role is similar to your town council; they have legislative and administrative duties. The board approves all county contracts and weighs in on appointments of county department heads and appointees. The board also very importantly reviews, makes appropriate changes to, and then votes to pass the county budget. Your current all Democrat Mercer County freeholder budget is

1/3 of a BILLION $$$. Most of this $$$ comes from your property taxes. This is why choosing your Freeholders is so important.

Mercer Master Gardeners Talk On Preserving Garden Flowers

Rutgers Master Gardeners of Mercer County will host a program, “Preserving Your Garden Flowers,” from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Mercer County Cooperative Extension office, 930 Spruce Street, Lawrence, adjacent to the Trenton Farmers Market. The talk will focus on how to produce, pick, and preserve plants to retain their natural colors and shapes for use in wreaths and other dried arrangements. Master Gardeners with years of experience preserving many different types of flowers and plants will give insight into the optimum time to pick for preserving, with examples of plants picked at the right time and those past their prime for preserving. They will explore the best flowers, grasses, leaves, and pods using actual examples harvested this past summer. Many different ways of preserving flowers, whether hanging in a bunch, using desiccants, microwaves, or dehydrators, will be contrasted and compared. During the talk, a Rutgers Master Gardener will be making an arrangement for a participant to take home. There is no charge for this program, but preregistration at programs@mgofmc.org or by calling (609) 989-6830 is strongly recommended.

and especially the members of the PPD, stated, “I know, we all know, it has been such a difficult two days. We are horrified, devastated, and deeply saddened by the news of this anti-Semitic act of hatred. We in the greater Princeton community know that an attack on any of us is an attack on all of us.” After reading the names of the people who were killed, Feldman pointed out connections between the Squirrel Hill and Princeton communities. “It may not surprise you to know that people in our congregation in Princeton have relatives and friends in the Tree of Life congregation in Pittsburgh, including some of those who lost their lives, some who were injured,” he said. “This hits us very close to home.” He continued, “What is our response to this tragedy? Sorrow for the loss of life, sadness for the attack on a house of worship — a synagogue, hope that these attacks will somehow not continue in any form in this country, gratitude for those who stepped in to save people and for those who support us today, pride in who we are and in our shared common religious values that bring us together, and prayer.” Also affirming unity with mourners in Pittsburgh and wondering “what can we do to make it stop?” Lempert asserted, “We stand in grief and solidarity with them and their friends, and community. We stand with them in deep gratitude to the heroic first responders who risked their lives to save dozens of others. And we stand together with them against hate and violence. We stand with them in the belief that love must

win out over hate.” Emphasizing “the core values that make communities like Princeton and Squirrel Hill what they are,” Lempert called for change. “This does not need to be normal. We must speak out against intolerance. I pledge my support to work with all of you to rationalize our gun laws, to confront and eliminate intolerance here in our community and beyond, and to do everything we can to avoid finding ourselves back here again.” In a press statement issued on Monday, Moore condemned “this virulent act of anti-Semitism and hate in the strongest possible terms” and also denounced the “inflammatory rhetoric” emanating from the White House. The statement urged all citizens to join the CFPA and their Ceasefire NJ project in calling for a national assault weapons ban. “They are weapons designed for the battlefield and are the weapon of choice for many mass shooters,” Moore wrote. “When they were nationally banned from 1994 to 2004, the number of deaths with them went down by two-thirds.” —Donald Gilpin

Taft Marks Milestone With Consulting Gift

On October 24, Taft Communications commemorated the agency’s 35th anniversary by providing a pro bono workshop to help invited local nonprofits address their communications challenges. “Troubleshooting with Taft” included volunteer communications and marketing executives from a number of New Jerseybased companies and institutions, who joined Taft staff to counsel the nonprofit representatives. New Jers ey nonprof it

organizations cite branding and communications as their No. 1 challenge after fundraising, according to the 2017 New Jersey Non-Profits Trends and Outlooks report from the Center for Non-Profits. “With this workshop, we aimed to address part of this struggle so that the nonprofits can better deliver on their missions in the areas of health, environment, education, transportation, and public policy, which are also Taft’s agency focus areas,” said Ted Deutsch, president of Taft. “We are very proud of what our firm has accomplished in New Jersey and beyond over the past 35 years. It felt fitting to commemorate our firm’s anniversary by giving back to some of our nonprofit neighbors.” “We so appreciated the opportunity to discuss ways to increase brand awareness and enrollment at our nonprofit school, where we serve students with learning disabilities. The suggestions we received were thoughtful, insightful, and gave us a lot of helpful homework that we can take back and implement at our organization,” said Kim Bruno, development director of The Bridge Academy. “This was a fantastic opportunity to support the nonprofit community that works tirelessly to aid communities across the state, and it was an honor to problem-solve their top communications issues alongside them,” said Sheri Woodruff, vice president of communications for NRG and one of the guest consultants who participated in the workshop. Fifteen area nonprofits participated in the event, which concluded with a private reception for clients and friends of the firm.

streets and surface parking lots, with the exception of the lot at the Wawa, which is enforced all day and every day. New hours at meters and new pay stations, which were installed in early October in the Princeton Station lot and adjacent Alexander Street and lower Princeton University parking, are Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, till 9 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 to 8 p.m. The new meters will accept coins, credit cards, and mobile payment. The Park Princeton App can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play starting on the meter launch date, November 5. The new rules do not allow for reparking, so vehicles cannot park on the same block for two hours after the maximum time limit has been reached. The new meters will have information on labels about new zones and space numbers, if applicable. “The new meters are a lot easier to use, and they create more opportunities,” said Stockon. “If merchants want to participate, there is a voluntary validation program through the mobile app so they can validate some of a person’s parking stay. We also have the opportunity to really easily edit messaging on the meters, changing it as we need to.” For more information about parking changes and upgrades, visit www.

At its last meeting on October 22, Princeton Council voted to introduce an ordinance that creates new neighborhood residential zoning standards. The ordinance is a response, in part, to community concerns about the impact of development on existing neighborhoods, and the numerous teardowns of homes that are then replaced by houses considered to be oversized and out of scale. Jim Constantine of the consultants LRK Inc. reviewed the elements of the ordinance, which is the first phase of work addressing these issues. LRK looked at volume, bulk, and massing controls, he said, analyzing a series of potential amendments and going through legal and zoning reviews. The group also held two workshops to gather input from the public and keep them informed. “Princeton certainly isn’t the only community dealing with teardowns,” he said. “It is occurring in many communities across the nation. And it is a challenge.” Reflecting on the ordinance this week, Mayor Liz Lempert said it is the first one for Princeton to include illustrations. “That is so important,” she said. “When Council was debating this and the public was commenting on it, having the visuals helped everybody understand what was actually being discussed. Most of us are lay people. Sometimes it’s hard to understand what things mean in the abstract. These [illustrations] will help the decisionmakers comprehend, and lend clarity in terms of the intention of the ordinances.” This initial ordinance address-

es issues the town has heard about most frequently from residents — height, prominent garages, and receding front doors. “I think this will have significant impact in terms of new construction and additions, and how they fit into a neighborhood,” said Lempert. “One of the things that makes Princeton a special place and creates such strong neighborhoods is that we are a walkable community by and large, especially in the neighborhoods covered by this ordinance. It’s important that the architecture of people’s homes reflect that sentiment. And I think we’ve experienced a period where, from the street, a lot of the newer homes seem designed more for cars than for people going in and out. That has an impact on the feeling you get walking down the street, and that was something a lot of people in the community were reacting to but didn’t quite know how to express.” LRK focused on districts of town where the most teardowns have taken place. Constantine told Council it was important to get the ordinance in place “before the start of the 2019 building season, when those permits start to come in,” he said. “That way, we have the provisions ready.” The next phase will look at affordability issues, and the “missing middle” class. Lempert praised Constantine’s efforts on the ordinance. “He really listened to all of the parties involved, especially the residents, to come up with something that addresses some of the most serious concerns we’ve had, and in a way that is going to be workable,” she said. “We’ll be watching and hoping

this has the desired impact. We’re not done yet, but this is a start.” —Anne Levin

International Security Prof. to Speak On the CIA, History, the Secret State T he shadow y par ts of government will be brought into the spotlight on Friday at 5:30 p.m. when Richard Aldrich, international security professor at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, speaks at the Institute for Advanced Study’s Wolfensohn Hall. Titled “Policing the Past: the CIA and the Landscape of Secrecy,” Aldrich’s lecture promises to “explore the relationship between history, the media, and the secret state, a journey that has involved both cooperation and extreme skepticism.” Aldrich, whose main research interests lie in the areas of intelligence and security communities and is leading a research project on “The Central Intelligence Agency and t he Contested Record of U.S. Foreign Policy, 1947-2001,” described the history of the CIA as “something of a battleground.” “The issue of secrecy has barely been off the front pages of our newspapers over the past 15 years,” Aldrich said in a phone interview from the UK. “It’s important that historians and

political scientists explore these things, but it’s difficult for scholars to research information that is secret.” He emphasized the importance of history to challenges of our current world. “The CIA takes its history ver y seriously,” he said. “How Americans think about the CIA’s past has reverberations in the present.” Recalling how Ronald Reagan in 1980, on the campaign trail prior to his election, promised to “unleash” the CIA, Aldrich noted that the CI A has of ten been “symbolic of wider issues in American foreign policy,” including tensions between interventionism and isolationism, between presidential secrecy and a democratic foreign policy, and between human rights and national security imperatives. Aldrich said he will also be talking about “how the CIA has tried to shape its own image and how historians should respond.” He noted, “The CIA is ver y interested in how they are seen by Hollywood, starting with Oliver Stone’s JFK (1991),” which, according to Aldrich, prompted the CIA to send an agent to persuade Hollywood to make better films about the CIA, which resulted in Zero Dark Thirty (2012), about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, and Argo (2012), about the rescue of American diplomats in Iran. A ldr ich mentioned the paradox of the CIA’s emphasis on secrecy along with its eagerness to promote its image. “The CIA has sought

to police the past, seeking to prevent the disclosure of sources and methods, arguing that this can endanger lives and put the success of its operations at risk,” he stated. “Yet it has also encouraged its own senior officers to write memoirs and has dispatched its officials to Hollywood to work with producers in shaping CIA narratives.” Aldrich explained some of the immense challenges and equally large rewards of scholarly research in this realm of international security, quite different from the traditional work of historians doing research. “Just going into the archives probably isn’t good enough,” he said. “Historians in this field need to learn from investigative journalism. They need to learn from the spies. Although this terrain is difficult, there are some amazing treasures.” Among those treasures, which he looks forward to being able to acquire someday, he mentioned “pretty much every word Yaser Arafat said on the phone over the past 50 years” and the 20-30 tons of paper the National Security Agency was producing every day in the 1970s. “These are among the treasures for historians inside the archives of the intelligence agencies, but going in there with just a pad and pencil won’t be good enough.” In regard to the current relationship between President Trump and the CIA, Aldrich observed that “things had settled down a bit,” and noted that leaders, notably Trump and Putin, “have used secrets and intelligence ac-

It makes them look tough.” He added, “Presidents like talking about this shadowy stuff. It captures headlines. Fifty years ago leaders fled from any discussion about the CIA. Today they love talking about it. Trump loves hinting at dark powers and discussing this stuff.” Aldrich, whose most recent book is The Black Door: Spies, Secret Intelligence and British Prime Ministers, said he will argue in his lecture Friday that “historians have a crucial role to play not only in the curating of national memory but also in mediating between the public and the more shadowy parts of government.” — Donald Gilpin

Additionally, if re-elected, Dafna will be the only sitting BOE member with a child who receives PPS special education services; this gives her a unique perspective. She will continue to be a tremendous advocate for the 18 percent of PPS students who benefit from special education and related programming. Betsy’s educational background and Dafna’s legal background make them an ideal team, as shown through their work during their first term. They were instrumental in establishing a modified homework policy to promote deeper learning and meaningful work. As a result of extensive research and discussions, they supported a later start time at Princeton High School, enabling students to get more rest and be prepared to do their best. They also increased transparency and communication between the Board and the community. They implemented a summary email with a link to the video of the monthly Board meeting and initiated quarterly “Meet the Board” sessions to better engage the community in the work of the BOE. Finally, as the substantive portion of the referendum (addressing overcrowding and much-needed renovations) has been postponed, we have confidence that Betsy and Dafna will be vital voices for the educational future of our district.

Public Finance Expert Strategic Leader Consensus Builder

The Right Skills at a Pivotal Time for Our Schools

“ “ “

We have known Brian for over a decade and have had the privilege of working with him on matters important to our town. He has impressed us with his work ethic, knowledge of public finance, critical thinking, ability to work well with others, and commitment to the community. As the town and schools begin to work more closely to consider sharing services and taking other steps that will benefit our community, Brian would be uniquely positioned to make those discussions productive and successful.” Heather Howard, Lance Liverman Brian has worked tirelessly to improve our community and its institutions for more than 20 years. His ability to build consensus, think critically and act rationally about crucial issues has improved numerous nonprofit organizations including McCarter Theater, The Watershed Institute and most recently, Sustainable Princeton. During his seven years on our town’s Citizen’s Finance Advisory Committee he made additional contributions that have benefitted all residents. With his sights now set on Princeton’s public schools, we will see that same passion and expertise brought to bear on behalf of the school board. With a deep background in finance and sustainability, we can be assured that the next referendum put forth for the future of our children’s education will be both fiscally sound and environmentally prudent.” Diane M. Landis, Sophie Glovier, Matthew Wasserman Everyone who has worked with Brian realizes right away that he brings a tremendous dedication and collegiality to the mission of the organization. We are so fortunate that he now wants to join the Board of Education at this critical time. Whether your focus on the current referendum debate is on guaranteeing schools with adequate capacity to serve our community or on minimizing the property tax impact, Brian is a candidate for your cause. His dedication is to find a creative solution and to build consensus around it within the community so that the referendum fight does not leave lasting rancor within our town. We are lucky to have him as a candidate at this time and we whole-heartedly endorse him.” Amy Craft, Kian Esteghamat

Student Organizers Acknowledge Audience, Viewers of Not in Our Town Princeton Forum

To the Editor: We are writing to thank everyone who attended the Not in Our Town Princeton Forum for the candidates for the Princeton Board of Education at the Princeton YWCA on October 14. Thank you to the approximately 70 audience members who attended in person and the 617 people who have watched the live-stream of the forum so far for taking the time to make an informed decision. If you are interested in seeing where the candidates stand on important issues of equity, social justice, and mental health, please consider watching the live-stream of the forum. Most of the questions asked of the candidates were submitted ahead of time by students at Princeton High School. The video is located on the Not in Our Town-Princeton Facebook page and on the Not in Our Town Princeton website: https://niotprinceton.org/2018/10/17/ video-of-school-board-candidate-forum/. The Board of Education may seem like an insignificant portion of the ballot. It is easy to overlook the local when there is so much happening at the federal level. However, it is at the local level that many national issues manifest and that our choices as individuals can be the most impactful. The Board of Education is the body that will make decisions affecting our schools and our community for decades to come. Board members will be involved in responding to the results of the Equity Audit, working to address vital mental health concerns, and addressing facility needs across the district. It is as important as any other election on the November ballot. We especially want to thank the candidates for attending and for their devotion to having these important conversations. Thank you to the Princeton YWCA for allowing us to use their beautiful facilities. Finally, thank you to Linda Oppenheim, Princess Hoagland, Joyce Turner, and the rest of Not in Our Town Princeton, without whom we could never have put this forum together.

Applauding Board’s Courageous Move To Scale Back Expensive Proposed Referendum

To the Editor: The courageous move on October 9 by the vote of the BoE to scale back the expensive old proposed Referendum and replace it with a new doable Referendum was brilliant. The BOE is asking the public to approve, on December 11, the sale of a $27M bond to pay for the security needs and needed repairs and refurbishments to the school infrastructure. A MUST-do-now undertaking. The Board also suggested that there is no rush to do the other projects now. It will invite the public to participate in the reviews of the committees to bring new ideas and suggestions and create a new Referendum to be voted upon in November 2019. It is hoped that the public will support the December Referendum so that work can start on the infrastructure ASAP. To get the ball rolling, I would like to suggest the following ideas to the Board for its consideration: 1. First, commission a new demographics study of the future numbers of PPS students. Any good demographer will agree that a forecast for more than five years is a mere speculation. Most of the numbers that drove the old referendum to its high costs are already more than four years old. 2. Commission a feasibility study to determine if any and all K-5 schools could structurally be expanded to accommodate sixth grade classes, and could they be converted to a K-6 school. 3. Create teams of three-four people from PPS, BoE, and the public to work together on specific projects. 4. Always look for a second opinion. Princeton is blessed with an abundant number of smart people; ask for their help and opinion, they surely will give it. We all want to give our students the best education that we can, but PPS is not an isolated entity. It is part of what makes Princeton great. PPS must consider what will be the effect on the town’s middle class. Can we afford a Taj Mahal? RALPH PERRY Random Road.

BOOK REVIEW

“Penny Deadful” Intimations of Halloween on John Keats’s Birthday

oo bad Rory Kinnear can’t join t h e ot h e r Fr a n ke n r e a d e r s at Chancellor Green for tonight’s bicentenary Halloween celebration of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For me the finest hour of Showtime’s Penny Dreadful was Kinnear’s portrayal of the Creature, who finds his soul in poetry and names himself after the “outcast” English poet John Clare. As the show’s executive producer John Logan put it in the Sunday New York Times, “I wanted to bring the Creature back to Mary Shelley because it has been so badly used over the years in movies.” K i n n e a r’s r e a d i n g of l i n e s f r o m Wordsworth’s “Ode on Intimations of Immor tality” over images of the funeral of Vanessa Ives and then when kneeling at her grave gives a touch of grace to a somewhat flawed series finale. Although Logan told Variety in June 2016 that he had conceived Vanessa’s demise during the filming of the second season, the Dracula-driven circumstances were unworthy of a character of her dimensions. During the scenes between John Clare and Eva Green’s extraordinary Vanessa, it was almost as if the Creature were conversing with his true creator, Mary Shelley. “Not Keats Again! ” That’s what my wife said when I mentioned where I was headed this week. “But it’s his birthday,” I told her. “October 31, Halloween. He’d be 223.” Keats was also the subject six years ago on this date, the last time Town Topics appeared on Halloween, which is my excuse for bringing him in now. Not that I have any problem with the Creature’s fondness for Wordsworth, whose magnificent Ode was an in spired choice for the Penny Dreadful finale. But I can’t help imagining the chilly reception the Creature might receive were he to knock on Wordswor th’s door one dark and stormy Lake Country night. Keats would have extended his hand without a second thought and invited the poor fellow in. So would Wordsworth’s sister Dorothy and so would Samuel Taylor Coleridge, for that matter. Anyway, what has Wordsworth got to do with Halloween compared to the man who once said of his face “Tis a mere carcass.” Coleridge has haunted worlds of readers with “The Rime of the A ncient Mar iner,” one of Mar y Shelley’s inspirat ions, and “Chr is tabel,” a reading of which is said to have so terrified Percy Shelley that he ran screaming from the room. As for Keats, consider his haunted birth date and poems like “La Belle Dame sans Merci” or his letters meditating on the “Vale of Soul-Making” and “Negative Capability,” that state “when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.”

Chance Meeting It was in one of Keats’s epic letters to his brother George in America that he reports running into Coleridge and a friend on Hampstead Heath and asking if he could join them. In the course of a two-mile walk on a Sunday afternoon in April 1819, Coleridge “broached 1,000 things,” including nightingales, poetry, poetic sensation, metaphysics, nightmares, dreams accompanied by a sense of touch, monsters, the Kraken, mermaids, and, finally “a Ghost story.” Besides revealing a fascination with the paranormal relevant to the holiday at hand, Coleridge’s conversation with Keats took place just prior to the harvest that yielded the peerless Odes, along with “La Belle Dame sans Merci” and “Lamia,” among others. While the encounter may not have directly influenced these works, you can find echoes of the conversation in “Ode on Indolence” (“So, ye three Ghosts, adieu!”), “Ode to a Nightingale” (“Was it a vision or a waking dream? ”), “Ode on Melancholy” (“For shade to shade w ill come too drowsily, /And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul”), “La B elle Dam e” ( “ I s aw t h e i r star v’d lips in the gloom/ With horrid warning gaped w ide” ), and “ L a m i a” ( “A deadly silence step by step increased, / Until it seemed a horrid presence there, / And not a man but felt the terror in his hair”), a poem that ends with the bridegroom’s arms “empty of delight” as “with a frightful scream” Lamia vanishes. “Vanishings” Words wor t h ’s Ode, t he ver y one adopted by the Creature, was among the literar y wonders I discovered in my father’s study; and the first lines of verse I ever knew by heart were from the passage of “song of thanks and praise” to “those obstinate questionings /Of sense and outward things, / Fallings from us, vanishings ;/ Blank misgivings of a Creature/Moving about in worlds not realised.” I didn’t know the lines by heart because I wanted to; it was because once I read them they wouldn’t leave me alone, “Fallings from us, vanishings,” in particular. These accompanied every fearful thought, every ominous image — an empty swing creaking, still in motion, and no one in sight, the sound of footsteps on a stairway in my mind. I was

haunted for years by a newspaper photograph of a dark street at night with a circle drawn to mark the spot where a 12-year-old girl (same age as me ) had disappeared, “never to be seen again,” said the caption. In October 2018, the big story haunting the news before the pipe bombs and the Pittsburgh massacre was the one in which a Saudi journalist walked into the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul and was never seen again. Something Behind You That scary things usually happen at night is pretty much conventional wisdom. But it was broad daylight when I was chased across a park near our house by a man making scary noises. I could hear him behind me, snor ting like a horse. I was six. I told my parents. In time I began to think I must have imagined it, so often did it happen in nightmares, a storybook boogie man straight out of the child’s garden of horrors. No wonder I felt a chill the first time I read these lines from Coleridge’s “Ancient Mariner”: “Like one that on a lonesome road/Doth walk in fear and dread, / And having once turned round walks on, /And turns no more his head;/Because he knows, a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread.” The same lines so haunted Mar y Shelley that she incorporated them into Frankenstein. Years later when I put the boogieman into my first novel, my father assured me t hat it had act ually happened. “They finally caught the person.” So much for the “obstinate questionings/ Of sense and out ward t hings,” t he nightmare pursuing me had been real. Flag of Fear Something happened the other day that grows more sinister with ever y piece of break ing news. Act ually, nothing happened; it was what might have happened. In broad daylight. My wife and I had been about to take a favorite walk along the lake, on the upper path on the Princeton side between Harrison Street and Washington Road. It was late afternoon, the October light muted, the air mild. As we were parking, we saw a group of people heading toward the same path, maybe as many as 20, moving in a straggling line, not quite a parade. At

first I assumed they were on an outing, nature lovers, bird watchers, nothing menacing. Thinking that we’d follow along behind once they’d passed, I was on my way out of the car when my wife motioned me to get back in. Her gestures seemed unusually urgent. She looked nervous. I followed her gaze to a man at the rear of the procession. He was carr ying a huge American flag and staring right at me. He did not look friendly. The massive flag put an instant end to the notion of an innocent nature walk. This was Trump’s America, after all. But surely not here, not in Princeton, not on a trail by the lake in broad daylight. But then why not Princeton? We’re in the cross-hairs, a sanctuary city. If there’s a map of Trump-rally hate zones, you can be sure Pr inceton’s one of the towns with a black circle around it. I got back in the car and we drove to another lakeside spot, saying nothing about what we’d seen until much later. How strange, how sad, to think that an American flag could become something to fear. Becoming John Clare On the other hand, how strange and how wonderful that a series as daring and inventively literary as Penny Dreadful was ever made. I recom mend a YouTube visit to the closing sequence, where Rory Kinnear’s Creature reads with perfect-pitch feeling and understanding, “Whither is fled the visionary gleam?/Where is it now, the glory and the dream? ” To appreciate the situation of John Clare reciting those words at the tomb of the only person who loved and understood him, look for the scene where the Creature explains to Vanessa Ives why he chose to become John Clare, who (like John Keats) “was only five feet tall.” As Kinnear relates Clare’s poem “I am,” with its lines “yet what I am none cares or knows,/My friends forsake me like a memory lost; /I am the self-consumer of my woes,” Eva Green takes up the next stanza (“I long for scenes where man has never trod ; A place where woman never smil’d or wept”) and they finish it together, “And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept:/Untroubling and untroubled where I lie;/ The grass below—above the vaulted sky.” ory Kinnear and Eva Green may not be reading at Chancellor Green tonight or the next two nights, but 71 readers from all over our sanctuary city will be there sharing Mary Shelley’s story. — Stuart Mitchner

Library Live at Labyrinth Presents Lauren B. Davis talking about her new novel The Grimoire of Kensington Market with novelist John C. Foster on Thursday, November 1 at 6 p.m. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” the novel tells the story of Maggie, guardian of The Grimoire bookstore, which expands and contracts as stories are born... or die. According to Foster, “Davis confidently paints a magical world rich in detail where human trials unfold against a fairy-tale tapestry. Weaving a fresh legend from a mosaic of ancient stories, she creates a bold new world where wit equals witchery and kindness is as valued as courage.” Princeton resident Lauren B. Davis is the author, previously, of Against a Darkening Sky, The Empty Room, Our Daily Bread, The Radiant City, and The Stubborn Season; plus two

of London. She is the author of Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and The Invention of The Great Gatsby and The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe.

The Galler y at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) is showcasing works by five artists in its group exhibit “I kinda live where I find myself.” The show runs through December 20. The community is invited to a reception on Wednesday, November 7 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The Gallery is located on the second floor of the Communications Building on the college’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. Featured artists include Chris Bogia (New York), Eric Hibit (New York), Morgan Hobbs (Philadelphia), Lauren Whearty (Philadelphia), and Howie Lee Weiss (Baltimore). Three of the artists will present talks as part of this special exhibit: Hibit on Wednesday, November 7; Whearty on Wednesday, November 14; and Bogia on Monday, November 19. All talks start at noon. According to MCCC Professor of Fine Arts Lucas Kelly, the show’s curator, the works of these artists are disparate in approach, but each artist celebrates the small objects that inhabit p eople’s p er s ona l spaces. “Relating to classic European still life painting that told a story of class, economics, and stature by the objects selected in each tableau, these artists select items that inherently discuss

our contemporar y lives,” Kelly says. “The items they choose to base their work on have different functions – some may be subversively political while others may be secretly emotional touch points. For each artist, their work may choose to celebrate our existence in these mundane everyday objects.” Gallery hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Wednesday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, v isit w w w.mccc.edu /gallery or www.facebook.com/ MCCCgallery.

Policing the Past: The CIA and the Landscape of Secrecy Since the creation of the CIA, its history has constituted something of a battleground. This lecture will explore the CIA and its relationship to history, the media, and the secret state, a journey that has involved both cooperation and extreme skepticism. It will argue that historians have a crucial role to play not only in the curating of national memory but also in mediating between the public and the more shadowy parts of government.

The 2019 Models Have Arrived. Seasons change. Your car can too.

he Princeton University Music Department prides itself on training solid vocal and instrumental musicians. Both the University Orchestra and Glee Club tour overseas periodically, no doubt connecting with similar musical organizations internationally, and one of the most foremost European musical training institutions paid a visit to Princeton last week at the invitation of the University Orchestra. Based in Milan, Italy, the Accademia Teatro Alla Scala offers a full range of performing art onstage and backstage training, including an orchestra, which has been on tour this month in the United States. Last Tuesday night, the Accademia Teatro Alla Scala Orchestra presented a concert in Richardson Auditorium focused on a “Dialogue through Music” between Italy and the United States. Featuring music of 19th-century Italian composers or those connected to Italy, last Tuesday night’s performance enthralled the Richardson audience with fresh and youthful instrumental playing. Operatic composer Gioachino Rossini was the quintessential Italian composer, as well as one of the most financially successful of his era. Rossini’s 1817 opera La gazza ladra (The Thieving Magpie) was equally as popular as his renowned The Barber of Seville, and its overture has been used in several significant films. Led by Hungarian conductor and composer Iván Fischer, the Accademia Teatro Orchestra began the overture to La gazza ladra in a dramatic fashion, with snare drums (for which this overture is particularly known), on either side of the stage and the double basses bracketing the ensemble from the back. Fischer led the opening measures with broad conducting gestures, with an effective transition to a sprightly melodic theme from the violins. The full sound of the Teatro Orchestra was very clean, with well ornamented wind solos from oboist Charles RaoultGraïc, clarinetist Giona Pasquetto, and piccolo player Ilaria Ronchi. Throughout the overture, running lines among instruments were always executed together. Felix Mendelssohn may not have been Italian, but his 1830 trip to Italy had a profound impact on his compositional output. His Symphony No. 4 in A Major — the “Italian” symphony — captured the composer’s enthusiasm for Italy with a glorious opening theme cleanly played Tuesday night by the Teatro Orchestra’s violins. Fischer and the Orchestra took a very classical approach to the music, aided by graceful pizzicati from celli. RaoultGraïc’s oboe solo cut well through the orchestral texture in the first movement, and an effective “walking bass” from celli and

double basses set a dark but subtle mood to the second movement andante. Fischer maintained a quickly moving flow to the third movement, as a clean pair of horns added to the overall light and appealing sound of the ensemble. The Teatro Orchestra found dramatic contrasts in dynamics in the symphony’s final movement, bringing out movement’s saltarello and tarantella folk dance roots. The winds of the Orchestra proved themselves to be particularly agile in the furiously quick passages closing the symphony. Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky had a close relationship with the United States, but was equally as attached to Italy. The Teatro Orchestra chose to include Tchaikovsky’s 1888 Symphony No. 5 in E minor in their “Dialogue through Music,” acknowledging the composer’s description that “the nature, climate, artistic wealth, and history of Italy that you encounter at every step all have an irresistible charm.” Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 was rooted in the composer’s concept of fate, excerpting a melodic phrase from Mikhail Glinka’s opera A Life for the Tsar as a “motto theme” recurring throughout the symphony. The clarinets of the Teatro Orchestra effectively opened the first movement with this theme, accompanied by violins always playing gracefully and with direction. A bassoon solo played by Camilla De Pilato, as well as sweeping clarinet and flute solos, brought joy to a movement begun in darkness. Hornist Konrad Markowski opened the second movement andante cantabile with a poignant melody against lush strings, answered by clarinetist Pasquetto and oboist Raoult-Graïc. Clean brass and timpani added to the drama as the Orchestra restated the “motto theme.” The Teatro Orchestra well emphasized the waltz character of the third movement with elegant and lilting melodies from the winds, and the ensemble brought the work to a close with fast and light playing always on the front edge of the rhythm. ike many other Tchaikovsky orchestral works, Symphony No. 5 ended in regal fashion, paying tribute to the composer’s appreciation for Italy, which the Teatro Orchestra extended to the Princeton community for the opportunity to play at Richardson. Presenting the Accademia Teatro Alla Scala Orchestra on the University campus both gave the community a chance to hear the best of musical youth from another country and allowed the Princeton University Orchestra members to see and hear other perspectives in international musical training. —Nancy Plum

Financial Planning Forum

End-of-the-Year Tax Strategies

A. Reduce Taxable Income to Qualify for 20% Pass-Through Deduction The new tax law allows owners of sole proprietorships, S-Corps, LLC’s and partnerships to deduct 20% of taxable income. However, for most service businesses, the deduction is phased out between $315,000-$415,000 of taxable income (for married filing jointly taxpayers) and between $157,500-$207,500 (for single taxpayers). For example, if John, a sole proprietor accountant, is married and has $415,000 of taxable income, he is at the income threshold and is not entitled to the 20% deduction. However, John could establish a qualified retirement plan and make a $100,000 contribution, reducing his taxable income to $315,000 and thus qualify for the full 20% deduction – a $63,000 deduction. B. Tax Loss Harvesting Tax loss harvesting can be a relatively simple way to reduce taxes on taxable investment accounts. Assume that an investor has a capital gain due to the sale of an appreciated investment. In a diversified portfolio, there are typically securities that have appreciated in value and other securities that have lost value. To offset the capital gain on the sale of the appreciated security, an investor can sell all or part of another investment that has a loss, and the loss can be applied against the gain to reduce or eliminate the capital gain. In order to maintain the investor’s asset allocation, a correlated substitute asset can be purchased to replace the security that was sold to generate the offsetting loss. Additionally, any loss in excess of the capital gains may be applied to offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income, adding to the tax benefit. C. Charitable IRA Rollover If you are 70 and-a-half or older, you may transfer up to $100,000 directly from an IRA account to a charity and pay no income tax on the distribution. Making a non-taxable transfer usually puts the taxpayer in a much better position than taking the distribution and including it in taxable income, then gifting the funds and taking an itemized deduction. The direct transfer avoids the IRA distribution being included in gross income in the first place, thus the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income is not increased, which may reduce Medicare premiums, decrease the tax on social security benefits, and allows the taxpayer to take the standard deduction in addition to the tax free charitable distribution.

Bohemian Rhapsody

CINEMA REVIEW

To: ___________________________ Riveting Rocktrospective Chronicles the Meteoric Rise of Queen

rior to seeing Bohemian Rhapsody, I knew precious little about the rock group Queen. Sure, I’d enjoyed lots of their pop hits like “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “Another One Bites the Dust,” but I was totally unaware of the legendary British band’s back story. It was founded in the early seventies by guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee), drummer Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy), bassist John Deacon (Joseph Mazzallo), and lead singer Farrokh Bulsara, aka Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek). The film fittingly revolves around the flamboyant front man with a four-octave vocal range who also came up with the suggestive name Queen. Born in Zanzibar and of Persian descent, Freddie’s family fled to England when he was 17 to escape ethnic cleansing.

Tiger Football Keeps Focus in Routing Cornell 66-0, Now Girding for Clash of Unbeatens Versus Dartmouth

t had the makings of a trap game for undefeated Princeton University football team as it hosted underdog Cornell last Saturday. The Princeton players had dealt with midterm exams during the week, the windy and rainy weather on game day was well suited to Cornell’s running game, and a clash against unbeaten Dartmouth on November 3 loomed on the horizon for Princeton. Putting those distractions to the side, Princeton steamrollered Cornell, jumping out to a 35-0 lead midway through the second quarter on the way to a 66-0 rout before a crowd of 4,200 at Princeton Stadium. The win represents Princeton’s largest margin of victory in an official Ivy League game — the league formed in 1956 — and the most points the Tigers have ever scored against Cornell in a series that dates back to 1891. The triumph also sets up a battle of unbeatens as the Tigers, now 7-0 overall, 4-0 Ivy League and ranked No. 14 in the FCS Coaches Poll, host No. 20 Dartmouth (7-0 overall, 4-0 Ivy) this Saturday. Princeton head coach Bob Surace lauded his players for the way they took care of business. “I told them on the locker room how proud I was, you go through college football

and these guys are A+ workaholics and they stay focused all week,” said Surace. “It showed in how we played and how we executed. One of the reasons we are where we are is that we have stayed with tunnel vision week to week, which has been reflected in the outcomes.” Senior linebacker and cocaptain Tom Johnson said that intensity comes naturally to the Tigers. “We are always focused on being the best version of us that we can be; that mindset doesn’t change,” said Johnson. “We came prepared this week. We came prepared the last couple of weeks and we are going to try to be as prepared as we can be next week.” The Tiger defensive backfield came up big against Cornell, making four interceptions, including two by junior T.J. Floyd, who now has a team-high six on the season. “One of our keys to victory is getting that ball out; it was on our mind,” said Johnson, who had three tackles in the victory. “Those guys in the secondary have been working hard after practice. They had a couple of drops in the last couple of weeks so they have been working to get the ball. Any time you can get off the

field like that, that is what we are looking for. Credit to those guys and credit to the guys up front. They are getting batted balls. It is great to see them flying around like that.” Getting its first shutout of the season was icing on the cake for the Tigers. “We wanted it, we have been close a couple of times,” said Johnson. “It is great to see our younger guys getting the chance to go out there to contribute and stop those guys. They had a couple of good stops there, it was good to see.” Senior quarterback John Lovett enjoyed getting the chance to trigger a Tiger ground attack that rolled up 358 yards rushing. “It starts up front and like every other week, our guys did a tremendous job,” said Lovett, who gained 159 yards on 19 carries with one touchdown. “The guys who carry the ball just pride ourselves on never going down after the first hit. We try to keep moving and get first downs every drive and be fast and physical. The running game did a great job of doing that.” Wearing a splint on his left arm, Lovett played through pain in his second game back after sitting out the Brown game on October 13. “Injuries are part of the game, I am not going to

let that keep me out,” said Lovett. Having been out all of the 2017 season due to injury, Lovett is savoring his return to the field this fall. “It is incredible; I love this game more than anything,” said Lovett, the Ivy league Offensive Player of the Year in 2016 who has rushed for 608 yards and eight touchdown and passed for 1,272 yards and 14 touchdowns this fall. “It is my passion to be back here with my team. It feels great. I am excited to be out on the field and do the best I can to help us.” In Surace’s view, the passion of Lovett and Johnson has set the tone for the Tigers this fall. “John is just so much fun to watch; you love having guys like that who have such leadership,” said Surace. “They play with such effort and the guys respond to him so well. It makes the job of a coach easier where I am not always having to be the voice or the leader. These two guys, John and Tom, especially with Kurt [Holuba] being out, really take ownership of the locker room. You see that culture continuing with the young guys.” The Tigers will be utilizing that winning culture as his team girds for the showdown against the Big Green this Saturday. “We have got to approach the week the same way; enjoy this win because wins are hard to come by and that team was 2-1 in the league,” said Surace.

Junior Star Bullock Produces 5-Goal Weekend, Helping PU Women’s Hockey Sweep Yale, Brown Coming out buzzing as it hosted Yale in its home opener last Friday evening at Hobey Baker Rink, the Princeton University women’s hockey team outshot the Bulldogs 17-4 in the first period. But the Tigers had nothing to show for their flurry of shots as the rivals were knotted in a scoreless stalemate heading into the second period. “It felt nice to be able to get a lot of shots and generate a lot of offense,” said Princeton junior for ward Carly Bullock. “It is definitely frustrating when you get all of those shots and you don’t get a goal.” Bullock took care of that frustration, tallying 6:21 into the second period to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. “Their defense was kind of screening so I just tried to shoot it where I could see

an opening and tucked it under,” said Bullock. “It was a great drop pass from Sarah [Fillier]; it really opened up the play.” T hat goal opened t he floodgates for Bullock as she scored scored two more goals in the period and then adding a fourth tally in the third period as the Princeton skated to a 4-1 win over the Bulldogs. “Once you get one, it keeps coming,” said Bullock.” My line worked really well together; we definitely see each other on the ice. It was great to be able to get some goals in to really kick start our season after last weekend (4-3 and 3-0 losses at No. 2 Wisconsin).” Being matched up with freshmen Fillier and Maggie Connors, who have both played for Canadian national teams, is proving to be a good fit for Bullock. “I am really enjoying it,

they are great players,” said Bullock, who added a goal and two assists in a 7-2 win over Brown on Saturday with Connors tallying three goals and Fillier chipping in a goal and two assists. “Sometimes it is hard to adjust to college hockey and new line mates and a new team, but they are doing such a good job helping the flow of our team. The lines are clicking really well and it has been great playing with them.” With two college seasons under her belt, Bullock is looking to click at both ends of the ice. “I have been trying to focus on defensive play, d-zone skating, blocking shots, and more of the fundamentals,” said Bullock, a 5’7 native of Eden Prairie, Minn. who scored a team-high 24 goals last winter and now has 50 in her Princeton career. “When you have strong

I would say that is a focus for us - good habits in the

d-zone lead to good offensive plays.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Cara Morey wasn’t surprised to see Bullock trigger the offense. “Carly is just a natural

goal scorer; her line mates did a lot of work to make those plays,” said Morey. “Those were gritty goals, those were tough goals. They weren’t pretty, fancy goals. They were hardworking, it was get the puck low, look for slot area. She just has a knack of finding that puck and putting it in the net.” The combination of Bullock, Fillier, and Connors figures to score a lot of goals this season. “They can be a really lethal line ; they are really creative offensively,” said Morey. “You wonder if there is enough puck to go around for all three of them tried it. I wondered after the first weekend if we were going to keep with it. We stuck with it and it ended up working.” Morey liked the work she got across the board in the win over Yale. “I thought it was a great team effort; we put all of the players in tonight,” said Morey. “They all got significantly more ice time than last week against Wisconsin. Everyone stepped up and contributed, even if it was just neutral zone play, turning pucks over, or creating momentum.” After having played well in the losses at Wisconsin to open the season, Princeton was happy to get into the win column last weekend. “The girls felt really good after Wisconsin and during it, the mindset was really good,” said Morey, whose team, now 2-2 overall and 2-0 ECAC Hockey, will look to keep on the winning track when it plays at Dartmouth on November 2 and at Harvard on November 3. “Both games were pretty much one-goal games against the No. 2 team in the country. They realized they can play with anybody, so then to come and finally see the results on the scoreboard was a big deal for them. It really helped boost their confidence.” Bullock, for her part, feels good about Princeton’s prospects. “Wisconsin is such a good team so we really wanted to go out there and play well,” said Bullock. “It would have been nice to get a win, but to come home and win our first Ivy game is a great confidence booster for us going into Ivy and ECAC play.” —Bill Alden

PHS Field Hockey Makes Sectional Semis As Lopez-Ona Comes Through in the Clutch With the Princeton High field hockey team locked in a tense 1-1 battle against visiting Monroe in the second half of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional quarterfinals last Friday, PHS got a golden opportunity as it was awarded a penalty stroke. Little Tiger senior star Mariana Lopez-Ona bent over the ball, fired it to the goal and then put her head in her hands in dismay after the shot was stopped. Lopez-Ona kept her head up, though, tallying a goal minutes later to give PHS a 2-1 lead. “Everyone was really there and we were pushing it,” said Lopez-Ona, reflecting on the goal. “We were able to keep fighting at it.”

The first-seeded Little Tigers pulled away to a 4-1 w i n over e ig ht h - s e e d e d Monroe, improving to 151. PHS was slated to host fifth-seeded Rancocas Valley in the sectional semis on October 30 with the victor advancing to the title game on November 1. “After I missed the stroke, everyone came together for me and the team and it showed that we need to be together,” said Lopez-Ona. “I think we really finished it in the end, everyone brought it together, like Megan [Mavoides], Ellie [Wilkinson]. We really played more together as soon as we got into the second half.” Lopez-Ona acknowledged

t h at a s c r appy Mon ro e squad gave PHS fits in the early going as it took a 1-0 lead. “They came out strong, they played a hard game and it kind of shocked us at first so we had to bring up our intensity,” said Lopez-Ona. Showing her intensity, Lopez-Ona tallied late in the first half to tie the game at 1-1 and give the Little Tigers a lift “The first goal was the final push that we needed,” said Lopez-Ona, who ended up with two goals and assist in the victory. “We had it up there and we were doing a good job of keeping it and we just needed to finish it.” PHS head coach Heather Serverson liked the way her players stuck with things after a sluggish start. “We didn’t start out playing our game, we played their game,” said Serverson. “It took us a while to warm up. Once we got a goal in the cage, the momentum started to get rolling and things just fell into place. They started connecting, they started talking.” Serverson credited Monroe with making things hard for PHS. “Monroe definitely challenged us ; they had good sticks; they were stopping everything if we didn’t move the ball,” said Serverson. “We just had to make some adjustments, we started moving the ball. We made sure that we were communi-

cating so we didn’t have two people moving to the ball. We started connecting.” L o p e z - O n a p r ov e d to be up for the challenge as she bounced back from the missed stroke. “Mariana did a great job of staying composed; that could not have been easy as a leader,” said Serverson, who also got goals from Renee Hoevers and Eleanor Wilkinson in the win. “She recovered quickly and then she had some great inspiring words for the team. We pulled it together at that moment, I was just really happy to see it.” Pulling it together against the Falcons should help the Little Tigers going forward. “What we learned from this game is that we need to start off with our game,” said Serverson. “We need to worry about us, we need to worry about Princeton. We need to worry about connecting and scoring and not worry about what the other team is doing.” In the view of Lopez-Ona, the way the team has connected this fall has made her final season of field hockey something to savor. “It has been a great year; it has been my best season because of the team chemistry,” said Lopez-Ona, who is headed to the University of Michigan where she will play for its women’s lacrosse team. “There are a lot of seniors and we are all good friends. Everyone has come together. Practice is a fun time. It is definitely a good way to end my field hockey career.” —Bill Alden

After suffering a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat to Lawrenceville in the Mercer County Tournament championship game on October 20, the Princeton Day School field hockey team was seconds away from another agonizing playoff setback as it hosted Morristown-Beard in the state Prep B semis last Wednesday. The second-seeded Pant h er s t r a i le d t h e t h ird seeded Crimson in the waning moments of regulation before Panther junior star Caroline Haggerty scored with 11 seconds left to force overtime. PDS prevailed 2-1 in double overtime as senior standout Sasha Sindhwani notched the game winner. “The Lawrenceville game took a lot out of the girls; it was really tough to turn around, refocus and re g roup,” s a id PD S h e ad coach Heather Farlow. “We have played better this season than how we played against Mo-Beard,

but to keep going and to keep fighting and get that goal with 11 seconds left and to win in double OT, we told them tournaments come down to grit and being able to get in there and make things happen.” In the final last Sunday at top-seeded Montclair Kimberley Academy. PDS was down 1-0 heading into the second half and looked to make things happen down the stretch of the contest. “We talked about moving the ball around them, moving it to the outside, get it to the right and just create our opportunities by going around them and not playing their style of hockey,” said Farlow. “We felt like we did come out pretty strong in the second half and we had opportunities.” A lthough the Panthers ended up falling 2-0 to finish the fall with an 11-5 record, Farlow likes what her squad accomplished in 2018. “We had some goals to get

FINAL PUSH: Princeton Day School field hockey Sasha Sindhwani dribbles the ball upfield in recent action.

The defeat left the Panthers with a final record of 11-5. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

back to the Mercer County finals and the Prep finals and we achieved that,” said Farlow. “We also wanted to win. Our main goal was just to be competitive. We lost four players from last year’s starting lineup and we knew that we were going to have to make adjustments. We just wanted to look at who we had and play to our strengths as best we could.” For Farlow, saying goodbye to her trio of senior stars, Gwen Allen, Val Radvany, and Sindhwani, is going to be tough. “I came in with them and that class; we won one game in September their freshman year and we had to do a play-in game to even get into the Mercer County Tournament,” recalled Farlow. “These girls worked very hard on the offseason; they played club. We built the team around them. That first year we were all about getting better; it was let’s win a half, let’s go from there and see how many outlet balls we can get. We set small goals.” That hard work paid dividends as PDS made two of the last three MCT finals and three straight Prep B title games, winning the crown in 2016. “We still has small goals the next year but we were just able to completely turn it around and get the one seed in the MCT,” said Farlow. “Everything was so new, there were no expectations. They were playing very freely. After that, we had these expectations for the program. They have done a lot for the program. This senior class is special because they saw where we were and how far we have come.” With such returning players as goalie Lexie Hausheer, defenders Skylar Mundenar and Madison Izzard along with attacking players Ally Antonacci, Julia Lach, and the Allen twins, Lyla and Emily, the Panthers are poised to add to the legacy of the three seniors. “They are big holes to fill so we will have to adjust how we play a little and possibly change our formation to play to our strengths again,” said Farlow. “We have asked them to make a commitment in the offseason. Hopefully we have established ourselves as a program that is teaching better hockey and we can be competitive.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Senior Lane’s Gritty Defensive Play, PDS Girls’ Soccer Makes MCT Semis, Prep B Final Blo o d s t re a m e d dow n Kelsey Lane’s face after taking an elbow to the nose as Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team battled Pennington in the first half of the Mercer County Tournament semifinals last week. PDS senior defender Lane wasn’t about to let the knock keep her out of the action. “It shocked me at first and I was ‘oh my god please don’t be broken,’” said Lane. “I got up and it was ‘don’t get blood on the jersey and then we are good and get back in the game.’” The Panthers needed to make a very good defensive effort as sixth-seeded PDS looked to make amends after having fallen 4-0 to the second-seeded Red Raiders in a regular season contest on October 13. “Tonight we really focused on minimizing our mistakes,” said Lane. “We changed the way our formation was working. We had the same general formation but we were a little more defensive minded and then attacking second. They have the speed on us, so we had to figure out how to counteract their speed. We did that by pulling back a little bit.” PDS counteracted the Red Raiders for most of the contest but ended up falling 2-0 to the eventual champion. “It worked for the most part, but of course, they have their speed and good shots,” said Lane. Lane worked hard on the back line to help the Panthers hold the fort. “I sweep a little more; I was looking when one of our other backs got beat, it was my job to get around it,” said Lane. “If I was to get beat, they would do the same thing for me. It was just getting back so if they did get those long balls over, it was just to cover ground.” Lane credited junior goalie Riley Felsher with covering repeatedly for the Panthers

as she recorded 15 saves in the contest. “Riley really stepped up last year, but even from then, she has played amazing,” said Lane. “She is really stepping up; she has had an amazing season. On some of those saves I say to her ‘I have no idea how you did that but thank you, you just covered for me.’” I n L a n e’s v i e w, P D S stepped up by advancing to the MCT semis. “I think when t he coaches were ranking us, they underestimated us; we had an incredibly hard schedule this year,” said Lane, who helped the Panthers advance in another tournament as first-seeded PDS edged f if t h - s eeded Morristown-Beard 1- 0 in the state Prep B semis last Thursday and improved to 13-4-1. “We did really well even though we didn’t get the results we wanted against every team. Our schedule was preparing us for this tournament. If we had an easier schedule, I don’t think we would have done as well as we did. We bonded as a team through those hardships like coming back when in games when were 2-0 down and winning. That really built us up and we got to figure out each other’s strengths and working really hard for each other.” PDS head coach Pat Trombetta liked the way his players worked in the rematch against Pennington. “We gave them a different look; we tried to play more defensive-minded and counter a little bit more this game,” said Trombetta. “We held t hem pret t y good ; I don’t know how many D -1 commits they have on that roster. Our girls played with a lot of heart and energy.” Tromb et ta wasn’t surprised to see Lane play with heart against Pennington.

“Kelsey is blue collar; she will get hurt and then she is looking to get right back in the game,” said Trombetta. “It happened in the last Pennington game; she hurt her back and came off on a cart and came back. Kelsey played well tonight.” Goalie Felsher also played very well in the game. “We saw it last year; she rises to the occasion,” said Trombetta. “As the season goes on in the big games, she kept us in the game. She has been playing fantastic for us lately. She had a great game for us against Notre Dame last Saturday (a 1-0 overtime win in the MCT quarterfinals on October 20). She showed again tonight that she is a top notch keeper.” In Trombetta’s view, his team rose to occasion with the run to the MCT semis. “When you are the six seed, you are looking to make it to the final four and then anything can happen from there,” said Trombetta. “Playing Pennington again, you just want to come out with energy and effort and the girls did that.” Trombetta is looking for one more big effort from his girls this fall when the Panthers go for their sixth straight Prep B crown as the host second-seeded Montclair Kimberley Academy in the Prep B title game on October 31. “Games like this are just going to help us prepare for the Prep B tournament,” said Trombetta. “We are not going to see much that we haven’t seen already in these last few games.” Lane, for her part, believes the Panthers are prepared to keep their title streak going. “It is a very young team; they work hard for me and they work hard for themselves because they want it too,” said Lane. “I want to keep playing. I want to play hard for these girls and show them how amazing it is when we get to a championship.” —Bill Alden

With Goalie Chiurco Saving His Best for Last, Hun Boys’ Soccer Advances in Prep A Tourney Coleman Chiurco is saving his best for last in his senior season for the Hun School boys’ soccer team. After seeing little action as a back-up goalie for Hun in 2017, Chiurco has stepped into the starting role this season. As the fall has unfolded, Chiurco has emerged as rock for the Raiders. Over the last week, Chiurco has 12 saves in a 2-1 win over Allentown in a Mercer County Tournament consolation game on October 22, 14 saves in a 4-2 victory over Lawrenceville on October 19, and 12 saves in a 2-0 loss to WW/P-South in the opening round of the MCT on October 18. “It is just being more confident in coming out and collecting balls, diving at people’s feet, and working on communication,” said Chiurco, reflecting on his progress. Last Wednesday, Chiurco displayed his confidence, making 13 saves to help third-seeded Hun edge sixth-seeded Peddie 2-1 in the opening round of the

state Prep A tournament. Chiurco and the Raiders battled through adversity, keeping their heads after falling behind 1-0 early in the contest. “Last week we came back from one down to beat Lawrenceville 4-2 so I had confidence in our team,” said Chiurco. “We have struggled in the past with going down early and coming from behind. We have gotten better at picking up each other up.” After Elijah Smarr scored for Hun to knot the game at 1-1 with 27 minutes remaining in the first half, the Raiders picked up the defensive intensity. “They had two really talented strikers and a couple of times, they got through,” said Chiurco. “We talked about it and shut t hem down.” Coming up w it h some key stops down the stretch, Chiurco played a key role in shutting down the Falcons. “I knew I would have to make a couple of saves,” said Chiurco. “I am just

Last Wednesday, senior star Chiurco made 13 saves to help third-seeded Hun defeat sixth-seeded Peddie 2-1 in the opening round of the state Prep A tournament. The Raiders, who improved to 9-8 with a 2-1 win over Peddie in a regular season contest last Saturday, were slated to play at second-seeded Pennington in the Prep A semis on October 30 with the victor advancing to the title game on November 1.

doing my job; that is why I am here.” Chiurco was happy see the Raiders get the job done in the Prep A tourney as they advanced to a semifinal matchup at second-seeded Pennington slated for October 30 with the victor heading to the final on November 1. “In years past we had not done so great in the preps,” said Chiurco. “We are looking really good this year and really excited for the end of the season.” Hun head coach Pat Quirk was excited to see his team rally for the win over Peddie. “That is something in the past that we haven’t been able to do,” said Quirk. “We did come back against Lawrenceville, they scored first and we were able to respond. Today we came back. The kids are really buying in; if we keep our heads up we can do it.” In holding off Peddie, the Raiders kept control of the ball, particularly in the second half “Our big plan was just to possess the ball and continue to move forward together,” said Quirk. “They were giving us some time and space, we thought we could expose them. We possessed the ball for the majority of the game.” Senior Ronak Pandya was in the right place at the right time as he headed in the winning goal with 26:44 left in the second half. “Ronak comes of f t he bench; he scored one against Lawrenceville and he scored this one,” said Quirk. “He has been working on his finishing in training and he is starting to put them away.” As usual, senior star midfielder Smarr jump started the offense, assisting on Pandya’s game winner in addition to his own first half tally. “As a center mid, we ask him to be the motor behind the team and be the leader and bring the energy,” said Quirk. “He has been doing that.” Quirk is proud of the leadership Chiurco has displayed this year in goal. “Coleman makes tons of saves, he keeps us in games,” said Quirk. “He was a back up goalie last year, he saw very little time. I credit our goalie coach Nick Savino a lot for his improvement.” Getting a victory in the Prep A tournament was a credit to the squad’s persistence. “We haven’t done that in a while; this is the first time we have hosted a state tournament game in eight years, I think,” said Quirk, whose team improved to 9-8 with a 2-1 win over Peddie in a regular season contest last Saturday. “It is nice to get a state tournament win. We knew we had a pretty good team to start; it took us a little bit of time to find our rhythm. We are starting to score goals and we are responding when bad things are happening.” Chiurco, for his part, is enjoying the nice finish to his Hun career. “It has been great; I have always loved soccer,” said Chiurco. “I just love being out here with my friends and teammates.” —Bill Alden

Getting Up to Speed for PDS Boys’ Soccer, Chukumba Helps Panthers Make Prep B Final Having moved into the starting lineup for the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer varsity squad this fall after playing mainly for the JV team in 2017, Stephen “Chima” Chukumba took a while to get up to speed. “It is just having to play a little longer game,” said sophomore forward Chukumba, who scored 20 goals for JV team. “It is greater intensity, it is a lot quicker pace.” In recent play, Chukumba has started to find his finishing touch, scoring a goal in an 8-2 win over Hun on October 9 and adding a tally in a 3-0 victory over Morristown-Beard in the opening round of the state Prep B tournament on October 12. Last Thursday, Chukumba found the back of the net to give the second-seeded Panthers a 2-1 lead late in the first half against thirdseeded Rutgers Prep in the state Prep B semis. “I was just waiting for my striker Wesley Leggett to give it up to me so I could just put it in,” said Chukumba. The Panthers pulled away to a 3-1 victor y as they improved to 8-6-3 and advanced to the Prep B final where they were slated to play at top-seeded Montclair Kimberley Academy on October 30. Chukumba acknowledged that PDS got off to a slow start against Rutgers Prep as the game was tied at 1-1 for most of the first half before his tally and a second half score by Leggett which gave the Panthers a 3-1 win. “It took me a minute to get warmed up,” said Chukumba. “Once we all got into the groove in the second half, we were playing the ball around really easily. They didn’t get into their half of the field.” Playing with senior star Leggett, who has committed to attend UConn and play for its men’s soccer team, has been a key factor as Chukumba has gotten into a groove offensively. “It helps a lot, he is a great player and a great striker,”

said Chukumba. “It helps me get through the defense, he plays me balls. I put it back to him and he finishes. It is simple.” Keeping things simple has helped PDS produced a late surge as it has gone 3-1-1 in its last five games. “We are playing our best soccer,” asserted Chukumba. “It is almost over so we have to play our best.” PDS head coach Ollie Hilliker thought his team played some of its best soccer of the season in the second half against Rutgers Prep. “We talked about what we needed to do in the second half with regards to the quality as well as the effort,” said Hilliker. “In the second half you could see the difference in the moving of the ball. The passing was at a completely different level. We were able to dominate the half and completely shut them out.” After dominating at the JV level last fall, Chukumba is starting to show his quality against tougher competition. “Chima has been used to being a big player, playing with kids of his own age who are smaller and slower so he has always relied on his athleticism,” said Hilliker. “Now he knows his athleticism doesn’t do it on his own. He is working hard and he is progressing. He still has a lot to learn He will be a dangerous player as he gets to next two season and the next coupe of years.” Leggett has established himself as one of the most dangerous players in the area. “The kid is phenomenal; I know that he is here and he is good but he has got to progress for college,” said Hilliker of Leggett, who has 21 goals on the season. “It wasn’t a good first half for him and I said you have to shake that off and have a good half and change it. He got his goal and had three or four more chances that were close. The challenge he has in high school soccer is that everyone knows who is he is so he has two or three guys sit tight on him and

make it difficult.” Making it to the Prep B final represents progress for the program. “It is important to me after getting beat by Gil St. Bernard’s in the semifinal last year where we had that seven minutes we lapsed and conceded three goals and that was the game that day,” said Hilliker, who guided the Panthers to the Prep B title in 2016. “It was important for me to turn that around and get back to where we should be in the final.” Chukumba, for his part, is excited to have a shot at a title. “It is my first year on varsity, it means a lot to be able to go to the final in Prep Bs,” said Chukumba. “I just want to win to for the seniors because it is their last year.” —Bill Alden

He is survived by: his brother, Richard Levy, of Stroudsburg, PA; his daughter, Linda Levy-Wood and her husband Ronald Wood, of Philadelphia, PA; his son, Jonah Levy and wife, Helga Ying; grandchildren, Ian Raydo and wife Chrissy Raydo, of Mechanicville, NY; Candis Lupietuu and husband Jason Lupietuu, of Philadelphia, PA; Rachel Raydo, of Philadelphia, PA; Milo Levy, of Brooklyn, NY; Julien Levy, of Philadelphia, PA; Refathun Momo, of Philadelphia, PA; Elijah Levy, of Piedmont, CA; Charlotte Levy, of Piedmont, CA; great-grandson Jonah Raydo, of Watertown, NY; Mila Raydo, of Mechanicville, NY; and Keira Raydo, of Mechanicville, NY. A brilliant student, Professor Levy studied Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on a full scholarship, before earning a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yeshiva University. In one of his first jobs, Levy helped install one of the first computers used by an insurance company in New York. He worked at RCA in Princeton, NJ until 1971 when he joined the newly formed Computer Science Department at Rutgers University. Professor Levy taught courses in computer architecture for almost 40 years and served as Associate Chair of the Department. He was known for his clarity of exposition and dry wit. He was an avid traveler. In 1970-71, he lived in Paris, France with his family. He continued his world travels into his 80s. He had a passion for art and art history, never missing an opportunity to visit a museum. Also, very dear to him was his Jewish community at Kesher Israel, where he was a member for more than 25 years, and he attended services regularly. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather, he loved to spend time with his family, and he was adored across the generations. He possessed an exceptionally dry, dark sense of humor, which he passed on to all of his family members, and his family has no doubt that Professor Levy is making jokes about his own passing from the Great Beyond. Services were held Thursday, October 25, 2018 in the Kimble Funeral Home, 1 Hamilton Avenue, Princeton,

NJ 08542, followed by burial in Princeton Cemetery, Princeton, NJ. Extend condolences and share memories at TheKimbleFuneralHome.com

a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force, and entered duty in 1956. After his discharge in early 1959, he stopped in Aspen, Colorado for a week of skiing. The planned week in Aspen stretched into a ski-bum season where he met Yolanda Swee from Hurley, Wisconsin. They shared their love of sports, the outdoors, and an adventurous desire to see the world. They married in July of that year, beginning their 59 years together. Henry began his 33-year career with Citibank in New York City. Three years later they happily accepted a transfer to London where they lived for five years. Henr y t hen became t he branch manager in Dublin, Ireland where they began riding horses and hunting to the hounds. Three years later he became branch manager of the Milan office. They loved Italy, with its proximity to skiing in the Alps. These two years were followed by a return to New York where he joined the Petroleum Department, financing the Alaskan Pipeline. In 1978, they took another Citibank opportunity to go back to Europe, this time to Geneva, Switzerland. This turned out to be an 11-year stretch, lasting to 1989. Time spent in the Alps, skiing and hiking, brought great joy. They did high-mountain ski touring with guides including parts of t he Haute Route us ing randonnée skis, skins, couteaux, and sleeping in mountain huts. His public service in Geneva included two years as the President of the American International Club, and serving on the Ecolint school board. While in Geneva, Henry got to know some of the largest art collectors in the world. Upon their return to New York in 1989, he headed up the Citibank Art Advisory Service. He retired from Citibank in 1992, followed by consulting for Christie’s, and then retirement “for good” in 1995. Most summer vacations were spent in Greensboro, Vermont, filled with lots of tennis, golf, and friendships. During Henry’s fiveyear Presidency of Mountain View Country Club, he spearheaded the building of a new clubhouse. Henry was on the board of The Royal Oak Foundation (the American arm of the British National Trust), the Friends of the Princeton University Art Museum, and the Copley Hospital Foundation in Morrisville, Vermont. He was a long-time member of the Pretty Brook Tennis Club, Springdale Golf Club, the Old Guard of Princeton, and The Nassau Club. He is survived by Yolanda (Lanny), his wife and two sons: Christopher of Lenox, Mas s achu s e t t s ( C aroly n Guenther King ) and t wo grandchildren Ella and Andrew; and David of Geneva, Switzerland (Minna Poutanen King) and three grandchildren Julian, Isabelle and Timo. He was predeceased by his daughter, Nicola Tatiana. A celebration of Henry’s life will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church at 33 Mercer Street, Princeton, NJ 08540 (609-924-2277) on November 3, 2018 at 3 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the Nicola Tatiana King Memorial Fund

William Howard Becker William H. Becker, 94, died on October 20, 2018 at his home in Princeton, NJ. Bill was born in Brooklyn on January 12, 1924 to Morris and Ethel Becker. A bright, curious, lively young boy, he played sports and possessed a natural gift for making friends. He also enjoyed being a devoted older brother to sister Renie. Bill graduated from high s chool in Ros sly n, New York, and studied at Queens College. After a year in the U.S. Nav y, he at tende d New York University, then progressed to Virginia Commonwealth University Dental School. A newly-minted dentist in 1949, Bill settled in Norfolk, Virginia. Some years later he was introduced to Merle Skoler, a music teacher and fellow New Yorker, on a blind date. She quickly became the love of his life; and they married in 1959, eventually raising four sons. Bill went on to serve the Nor folk communit y as a dentist for over five decades. Many of his patients grew up and brought their

own children to him. Bill also volunteered his services to underserved communities in Israel. After a long and satisfying career, Bill retired from dentistry at age 85. He and Merle moved nor th from Virginia Beach to be closer to their sons. In Princeton, Bill built a new life, continuing to collect friends of all ages. He enjoyed family dinners, people-watching in Hinds Plaza, jaunts to Parx Casino, and playing pool, poker, and Scrabble with his grandchildren and friends. Bill was humble, generous, loyal, and a man of the highest integrity — in other words, a true mensch. He always put family and friends first. We learned from his example every day and are eternally grateful to have loved and been loved by him. Bill is sur v ived by his cherished wife Merle; his sons Richard (Rachel), Paul (Lori), Daniel (Madeleine), Sam (Jennifer); his sister Renie (Becker) Teitelman; and nine grandchildren: Olivia, Ben, Hannah, Joshua, Sophia, Corey, Robbie, Emily, and Kate. The family wishes to thank Bill’s dedicated caregivers and companions: Ashaki, Kayla, Jessie, Sophie, and Mary Kate as well as his poker and Scrabble buddies. A special debt of gratitude is owed to his dear friend Marty Austin. Funeral services were held on October 22, 2018 at the Star of David Memorial Chapel in Princeton. Memorial contributions may be sent to the Alzheimer’s Research Foundation at www.alzfdn. org.
