Council Introduces 2016 Fiscal Budget

At Princeton Council’s meeting on Monday, March 28, members got a first look at the proposed budget for 2016. For the average household assessed at around $810,191, taxes will go up about $110, according to the town’s administrator Marc Dashield. Along with voting to introduce the $61.9 million municipal budget, Council approved a settlement with two former police officers involved in an illegal gun trade issue dating back six years. The governing body also heard reports about a growing bike share program on the Princeton University campus that is due to expand to the town, and efforts by local police to curb speeding, among other topics. In his presentation, Mr. Dashield said the town’s expenditures are up about 1.2 percent. But they have dropped $743,526 or 1.19 percent since 2011, he added. Three staff members are being added for recreation and open space maintenance. The budget “aligns with Council’s strategic goals to promote long-term fiscal planning and provide a financially sustainable community,” Mr. Dashield said. “I would characterize this budget as really being a maintenance budget for this year.”

Since council members Bernie Miller and Lance Liverman were absent at the meeting, a more detailed description of the budget will be given when they are present, likely on April 18, Mr. Dashield said. A public hearing would then be held on the issue April 25.

Mr. Emann implicated himself, Mr. Villaruz and Mr. Henderson to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office. Mr. Villaruz and Mr. Henderson denied wrongdoing. While not charged criminally, they both retired and later claimed they were coerced into doing so. They left the department in 2010, along with Mr. Emann, who avoided criminal prosecution by taking

PRESS, JUSTICE, CELEBRITY

A panel discussion at the site of the 1935 Lindbergh kidnapping trial

Saturday, April 9, 2016, at 2:00 p.m.

Hunterdon County Courthouse • 71 Main St, Flemington, NJ

Presented at the historic Hunterdon County Courthouse, this panel discussion will explore the themes of press, justice, and celebrity, with special attention given to the interplay between Charles Lindbergh’s celebrity status, the appeal of press coverage of the trial, and the fragility of justice. Speakers include Landon Jones, former editor of People Magazine; Patty Rhule, Director of Exhibit Development at the Newseum; Edward Tenner, historian; and William O’Shaughnessy, trial lawyer.

Tickets are $25 per person; $20 for Friends of Morven. To purchase, visit morven.org/lindbergh

This special event is presented in conjunction with Morven’s exhibition Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Couple of an Age.

P r i n c e t o n U n i v e r s i t y ’s bike-share program is growing. Zagster, Inc. has deployed 50 new cruiser bikes at eight new locations in and around the campus for ondemand, local trips. The system now features 60 bikes at nine stations. Riders can join the program for a one-time $20 membership fee. Rides for members are free for the first two hours, and then two dollars for each additional hour after that. Unlike other programs in which riders must drop off bikes at designated stations for every stop during a reservation, Zagster’s program at Princeton gives users the freedom to ride as long as they want, wherever they want. “The significant expansion of bikes and locations is a reflection of the strong utilization of the existing program and of the demand for an even larger one,” said Timothy Ericson, Zagster’s CEO. “We’ve really just scratched the surface of what’s possible on campus and in the town.” The program offers students the option to not bring a bike to campus when they move in, and provides a sustainable option to anyone looking for a way to reduce their carbon footprint. The additional bikes provide convenient, healthy, and sustainable transportation options to students, faculty, staff and visitors. Bikes can be found via an online map at www.zagster. com/princeton or through the free Zagster Mobile App — available for iPhone and Android. Each bike has a unique number, which riders enter into the app. The app displays a single-use code to open a lockbox on the back of the bike, which contains a key to the bike lock. (Alternatively, a rider can obtain the unlock code via a text message). A key in the lockbox allows the bike to be locked and unlocked throughout a ride. After the rider returns their bike to a designated Zagster bike station, the rental ends and the bike is available for the next person to enjoy.

of North Brunswick, are part of a state-driven movement to demystify Tourette Syndrome.

TOPICS Of the Town “It makes us want to do and say things that seem really out of place,” Tess explains about the disorder in an informational video to publicize the 3rd Annual Walks for TS at Mercer County Park, taking place this Sunday, April 3, from 1 to 4 p.m. Proceeds will go to the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome (NJCTS) Education Outreach Program, which provides inservice trainings and Youth Advocate presentations to schools and hospitals across the state. According to the NJTCS, one in 100 New Jersey children are living with Tourette Syndrome. The condition is frequently accompanied by other neurological or mental health disorders such as ADD/ADHD, OCD, school phobias, depression, anxiety, and sleep and mood disorders. Those affected often report feelings of isolation and have been bullied because of their tics. Tourette Syndrome varies in its severity. “It can be very mild,” said Tess during a telephone interview. “But for a lot of people, it is an obvious disorder to have. The thing is that it’s not very well known. More than half the people I’ve told about it did not know what it was.” Ally Abad was diagnosed at the end of third grade. “I didn’t really know what to do,” the North Brunswick Township High School sophomore said last week.

NOW HIRING

“We weren’t sure where to go. I was getting into trouble at school. But then we found NJCTS. They’ve helped do outreach programs for schools, and educate teachers, doctors, and therapists.” Ally, Tess, and Hallie are youth co-chairs of the Saturday event. Senator Linda Greenstein, Assemblymen Daniel Benson, and Wayne DeAngelo are on the honorary committee. “Our representatives from the eighth district continue to make NJ Walks for TS at Princeton a joyful event and we’re grateful for their support,” said NJCTS executive director Faith W. Rice, in a press release. “We invite the residents of the communities Custom T-Shirt Sale Hours Monday-Saturday: 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. they serve to join us on April Open Sundays: 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 3 and take part in a growing movement of awareness and empowerment.” The walks were started in FOUNDED 1914 • IN PRINCETON SINCE 1955 2010 by kids with Tourette Syndrome as a way to fight 102 Nassau St • Across from the University • Princeton • 609-924-3494

bullying and create positive awareness. Future events will take place in September in Medford Lakes and Mendham. Tess and her sister Paige, 13, whose parents have been hosts since 2014, were the inspiration for the Princeton event. Tess, Ally, and Hallie are asking residents and local businesses to show support by registering for the 5K walk and family fun run. “Having so many people from the local community, whether they have TS or not, makes everyone feel incredibly encouraged and a c c e p te d ,” s a i d H a l l i e. “Whether you have TS or not, the walk is a fun and active event that takes little effort but makes a huge difference for the people affected by its benefits.” Ally plans to make a brief speech at this weekend’s event before setting out on the walk herself. A regular fundraiser for the cause, she has enlisted the help of her school’s soccer team and principal. Tess was 12 when she made the decision to stop hiding her condition and work for change in the public’s awareness. “I gave a talk at school. I started giving talks at hospitals,” she said. “I gave one at Yale a year and a half ago. But about three years ago, I decided I wanted to do more than just give talks. I wanted to help NJCTS. These walks support them and the educational outreach, which allows us to go into schools and spread awareness.” The registration fee for the walk is $25. Food from The Corner Bakery Cafe, a silent auction, a raffle, and music from the radio station NJ 101.5 are part of the event. Visit www.njcts.org for more information. —Anne Levin

“What interesting books have you found and are you looking for anything in particular?” (Asked at the Bryn Mawr-Wellesley Book Sale)

“I really like poetry, which I started collecting about two years ago when I went to Russia and was really interested in Russian poetry. I discovered I wanted to go broader and then I realized that I love English poetry. I’m currently looking for anything by Wordsworth. But basically what I like to do is collect first editions, old books. I like book collecting because books are basically an experience in themselves. The act of finding a book is an experience. The act of reading a book is an experience. The act of holding a book and turning its pages is an experience.” —Olivia Bowins, Princeton University, Class of 2016

Doug: “I came to browse and found two books so far. One is a vegetarian cookbook and I’m writing my thesis on one of the vegetarian co-op’s that was founded in 1978. I found The Vegetarian Epicure by Anna Thomas which was a favorite at the time. A primary document for me. I also found a book on theology that looked really neat.” Brandon: “I didn’t come to look for anything in particular, I came to browse. I’ve found quite a few books, I mostly look for art history and philosophy. And luckily, I found an early book by John Dewey, Essays in Experimental Logic when he tried to change how we think and certain ways in how we think about logic. I’m really into Dewey so I’m very glad to find this book.” —Doug Wallack (left) and Brandon Scott, Princeton University, Class of 2016

Della: “I’m looking for books about jazz and books with jazz portraits in particular.” Charlotte: “I’m into the interior decorating books here. And then I’m going to look for occult, mysticism books. I also like self-help and science fiction books.” —Della Green, Hamilton (left) with sister Charlotte Green, Washington, D.C. (originally from Trenton)

A second rally to protest t h e P r i n c e to n 7- E l e v e n store’s alleged failure to treat employees fairly in terms of wages will be held Thursday, April 10 at 6:30 p.m. in front of the store on East Nassau Street. Turnout at the first rally, which was held the morning of March 24, was lower than expected because of the early hour. “We want the workers to be able to come, so we hope to have it in the evening,” said Mar ia Juega of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF), last week. The LALDEF, which sponsored the first rally, hopes to increase awareness in the community about the problem of wage theft, which they say affects workers in the landscaping, food service, and convenience store industries. Attorney Roger Martindell has filed a lawsuit in Mercer Count y Super ior Cour t on behalf of three former employees of the Princeton store. The suit agai ns t t he ow ner s a nd

managers of the Princeton 7-Eleven and 7-Eleven Inc. claims that since the store first opened last November, the three workers were paid $6 to $6.50 an hour. New Jersey minimum wage is $8.38 an hour. T he store has claimed workers signed documents saying they would not make claims against the store. M r. M a r t i n d e l l s a i d h i s clients don’t read English and are not bound by any document they might have signed regarding claims. “This sort of thing is very common in Princeton,” Mr. Martindell said last week. “Folks are concerned about it because it can lead to all sorts of abuse. A lot of these folks live in Princeton and pay high rents to live here. They are paid below minimum wage and work extraordinarily long hours. In microcosm, it’s a concern of the same thing you see on the national scene, which is the imbalance in income between the haves and the have-nots.” Wage and hour laws were adopted on a national ba-

sis to deal with these issues, Mr. Martindell said. “We should enforce them,” he continued. “Instead of inventing new techniques to deal with the issue, we could just enforce what’s alre ady available to us. People in town, instead of just reading about it in the national papers, can actively pursue it in their own back yard by making the owners of restaurants and landscape companies and convenience stores aware that they’re being watched and can be held accountable. That’s what this demonstration is all about.” Ms. Juega said the problem is “ver y generalized. Roger has had to sue 7-Eleven before. The service sector in general, t he cash economy, businesses that work with a lot of cash, are prone to this kind of abuse. They can have workers off the books and pay them under the table. If workers are desperate enough, they accept the conditions.” Members of the pub lic have spoken at recent Princeton Council meetings in favor of an anti-wagetheft ordinance. Other New Jersey municipalities such as New Br u ns w ick have measures in place that require businesses to comply with laws regarding unpaid wages. Council adopted an ordinance in 2014 geared to the issue in the landscaping industry, and advocates want it expanded to include other industries as well. —Anne Levin

White Supremacist Hacker Responsible For Anti-Semitic Messages at University In the wake of anti-Semitic messages sent to several net work printers on the Princeton campus and at other universities throughout the country last week, the University’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Office of Information Te c h n o l o g y ( O I T ) h av e teamed up to prevent any further hate messages, sent from external sources, from infiltrating the University’s internet-accessible printers. “We are expecting no further messages,” stated University spokesperson Min Pullan. “We have been assured by the DPS and the OIT that necessary steps have been taken to ensure t h at t h i s won’t h app e n again.” A veteran hacker, Andrew Auernheimer (“Weev”), who was involved in hacking AT&T’s computer system in 2010, admitted to sending out the racist, anti-Semitic f lyers containing numerous swastikas and promoting “the struggle for global white supremacy” to every publicly accessible printer in North America. Mr. Auernheimer was initially convicted of identity fraud and conspiracy to access a computer without authorization in hacking the data of 114,000 AT&T customers, but his conviction was overturned on appeal. Last week’s flyers, which accused the Jewish people of “destroying the country through mass immigration and degeneracy,” directed readers to The Daily Storm-

er, a neo-Nazi and white supremacist website. Mr. Auernheimer said he activated the printers using remote access, but it is not clear whether he broke any laws. He claimed that free speech concerns were behind his actions. “Princeton regards any actions making the atmosphere intimidating, threatening or hostile to individuals as serious offenses,” stated Mi-

probation. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Villaruz ended up suing two years later, claiming they were being denied money in terminal leave and unused time owed to them. They also said the town had not turned over property they owned. Bike Share Kim Jackson, Princeton Un iver s it y’s D irec tor of Transportation and Parking Services, told Council that the school’s Zagster bike share program has been expanded from 10 to 70 bikes, available at eight locations across the campus. Started last November at the Dinky train station, the program has been enlarged due to popular demand. “It has been hugely successful,” Ms. Jackson said. “We have over 300 active members who have taken over 1,300 rides. There really is a strong appetite for this and we’re really excited

about having the municipality join us.” The University bikes are available to all, not just the school community. But the town is hoping to install a Zagster program of its own by early fall, Mayor Liz Lempert said in a press meeting earlier in the day. Users pay a one-time membership of $20 and get two hours free, paying $2 for every additional hour after that. The idea is to encourage eco-friendly methods of traveling both on and off the campus. Speeding Crackdown Ms. Lempert reported to Council that local police had been out on South Harrison Street Monday enforcing speed limits, a practice that is to continue in other neighborhoods all over Princeton. “They are looking for speeders, but the intention is not to get revenue,” she said. “It’s to change behavior. It’s not supposed to be a trap.” —Anne Levin

Proposed W-J Ordinance Will Reduce Value Of Homes, Especially Those Now in Disrepair

To the Editor: The town council is considering an ordinance that has significant financial implications to property owners in the proposed Witherspoon Jackson Historic district as well as to all taxpayers in Princeton. This neighborhood has been in disrepair for many years secondary to two decisions made by our local government. First they designated this district to be included in the R4 Zone, making EVERY home non-conforming. Property owners are forced to incur added costs to conform to these new standards that are totally opposite of the character of the existing properties. Secondly, town council approved the Clay Street projects that eviscerated the Witherspoon District, cutting it right down the middle and altering it so far beyond what any current “gentrified” property owner has done. This ordinance will significantly reduce the value of homes in this district, especially for homes currently in disrepair (i.e. the majority). Between the cost of obtaining zoning approval — and now historic preservation approval — easily $15,000 to $20,000 will be spent without ANY guarantee that a building project will be approved. Bringing a home up to existing codes or even the simplest alterations will not be done because it inherently creates a conflict between the building department, zoning, and historic preservation. It is no wonder that when the Historic Preservation committee proposed the same ordinance restrictions in the western section, the property owners did the obvious: hired a lawyer and told the bureaucrats to get lost. They knew it would bring down the value of their property and impose many new oppressive regulations. I feel this proposed regulation will reduce the sale value of the unimproved properties involved by at least 1/3rd or more. Taxpayers who live outside this district are equally affected. Using my recently purchased property in the district as an example, I added $450,000 in improvements that would not be allowed if this district becomes historic. Using the data from Wise Preservation Consultants, there will be 281 properties that will not be improved in this way, taking away from our tax rolls $126,450,000 ($450,000 X 281) in potential improvements permanently from the town’s tax base, year after year! Lowering the value of homes, preventing improvements, and freezing the condition of blighted properties is not the way to make a neighborhood affordable. I bought my house in this neighborhood because I love the people IN it. It is a phenomenal neighborhood that will remain so if our local government starts making decisions that prevent long standing citizens from having to move out because they cannot afford their taxes. Our town council should start enforcing rental laws that prevent multiple families from living in a single family house, revise the R4 zone to allow property owners to make improvements without spending a fortune on approvals, and stabilize the taxes of senior citizens that live in this neighborhood. The Wise Preservation Consultants found ONLY three homes in the District that are classified as “anchor” properties. Make these three historic and that’s all. This proposed ordinance will increase house vacancies and slum lord properties, prevent improvements, and financially decimate property owners. Hey, but that’s the Democratic way!

With Nearly One-Third of Johnson Park Kids Eligible, JP “Koko Fund” Is Seeking Support

To the Editors: For over 12 years, the Johnson Park (JP) Koko Fund has assisted JP students from families in financial need by subsidizing enrichment opportunities. The program has grown significantly since its founding and is needed more than ever as nearly one third of Johnson Park’s current students are eligible. Through financial assistance from our JP Koko Fund, students participate in after-school activities at JP, in the greater Princeton community, and at various summer camps. JP’s Koko Fund partners provide significant program discounts for our youngsters. Without their support, our children would not have these experiences. Specifically, through the support of our program partners, the Koko Fund has given students the opportunity to participate in after-school classes such as science, sports,

Learning the Hard Way How Inadequate NJ Transit Would Be in the Event of a Serious Emergency

To the Editor: Saturday night, March 26, hundreds of commuters to Princeton Junction saw first hand how inadequate New Jersey Transit would be in the event of a large serious emergency situation. At least four trains that left New York from 8 p.m. on were prevented from stopping at Princeton Junction because of what we were told on the speaker system was “police action at Princeton Junction.” Before New Brunswick, our train, the 9:01 express due in at 10:04, was halted. After we limped late into New Brunswick, the speaker system announced that we would go backward a bit to a different track and then would have to bypass the Junction and get off at Hamilton and then take the train on the “opposite platform” back to Princeton Junction. When we arrived at Hamilton, there was no human being to direct us through the long walk on the platform to the escalator to the street level, and to the east-bound platform which we had to reach by going out into the street. We never saw an employee of NJ Transit after getting off the train at the low-level platform where there was a conductor. And no one came or even announced at 11 p.m. while we were waiting out in the cold at Hamilton when the next train would appear. There were babies, children, older people, and several who needed but could not find the way to an open bathroom. If we had found one, we’d have been afraid to leave the platform because we had no idea when the train home would arrive. Others had come from the airport with luggage after perhaps a day of traveling. We kept hearing announcements about trains going west to Trenton. Several more trains came in with passengers destined for Princeton Junction. We arrived back at the Junction after midnight, two hours late for us but longer for the earlier trains that had been through the same situation. Yes, it was an emergency at the Junction. When we passed going south we saw a car on the tracks and several police and fire vehicles. Yes, it was obviously a sad situation. But — where were conductors who could be trained in human communication? Why weren’t they walking through

the cars? And why did no employee appear at Hamilton to direct us, open restrooms, and give us information? Ideally, a bus would have been there to take us back. There were hundreds of people from several trains waiting. Yes, it was not a national emergency and we all were aware that this was just a great inconvenience. And because the tragedy in Belgium was in many minds, the complaints were not large. Everyone seemed to bear it despite the cold and lateness of the hour. My concern is where will the human being employees of New Jersey Transit be if a far more serious situation arises? Obviously some training and serious preparation and mock situations need to be put into action. PHYLLIS SPIEgEL Plainsboro

Council Candidate Looking Ahead to Primary Stresses Affordability in Discussing Issues

To the Editor: As I run for Council in New Jersey’s June 7 primary, I look forward to discussing issues with Princeton’s Democratic voters. I see three main issues facing Council: affordability and municipal property taxes, affordability and Princeton University, and affordability and McMansions. (The school budget is not within Council’s purview.) First, I believe Council does control spending carefully. But what about increasing revenue? Having met for four years with Princeton Future’s Neighborhood Retail Initiative, I propose a volunteer economic development commission to help us retain existing businesses and attract new ones in keeping with our town’s character. Second, affordability and the University: Council should begin consulting with the plaintiffs’ lawyer in the case questioning the University’s non-profit status. The University has agreed to explore mediation, and we need to ensure the best settlement for our town. Having met for five years with a committee that studied this issue, I favor a greatly increased Payment in Lieu of Taxes that grows predictably each year, according to the University’s annual income or the value of its real property, fairly assessed. Third, affordability and McMansions: I served seven years on Princeton’s Site Plan Review Advisory Board. To slow tear-downs of modest homes and their replacement by million-dollar spec houses, I favor toughening the Borough’s 2006 McMansion law and applying it also to denser parts of the former Township. Set-backs, floorarea ratio, and height should reflect each neighborhood’s existing averages. For more information, please email anne.neumann@ verizon.net. ANNE WALDRON NEUMANN Alexander Street

Music Industry Discussed At Labyrinth Books March 31

New Yorker writers John Seabrook and Stephen Witt will take part in a conversation, “The Music Industry: How Hits are Made and Music Gets Pirated,” on Thursday, March 31 at 6 p.m. In The Song Machine, which the Atlantic called “an immersive, reflective, and utterly satisfying examination of the business of popular music,” longtime New Yorker staff writer John Seabrook discusses money, business, marketing, technology, and services like Spotify and Apple Music that use streaming data to gather music into new genres invented by algorithms based on listener behavior. According to the Boston Globe, “Seabrook spins a fascinating history, one that encompasses everything from the Brill Building and Phil Spector to Afrika Bambaataa to American Idol. Running underneath the human stories like a bassline is the inexorable flow of technology.” A finalist for the 2016 Los Angeles Times Book Prize,

the 2016 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, and the 2015 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year, Stephen Witt’s How Music Got Free: The End of an Industry, the Turn of the Century, and the Patient Zero of Piracy is the culmination of five years of investigative research tracing the secret history of digital music piracy, from the German audio engineers who invented the MP3, to a North Carolina compact-disc manufacturing plant where a factory worker leaked nearly two thousand albums over the course of a decade. Dwight Garner in a New York Times review called it “The richest explanation to date about how the arrival of the MP3 upended almost ever y thing about how music is distributed, consumed, and stored.” John Seabrook has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1993. The author of several books including Nobrow, he has taught writing at Princeton University. Stephen Witt worked for hedge funds in Chicago and New York for several years. Following a two-year stint in East Africa where he worked in economic development, he graduated from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in 2011. He is a contributing writer at The New Yorker. ———

Watercolorists Exhibit at Gourgaud

Watercolorists Marv Sitrin and Dale Smith will be displaying their work at the Gourgaud Gallery’s “Two Old Guys Painting” exhibit. The exhibit runs from April 3 — April 22, with an Opening Reception Sunday, April 3 from 1 to 1:30 p.m. at Cranbury Town Hall, 23-A North Main Street, Cranbury. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., and Sunday, March 3 and 17, 1-3 p.m. Marv Sitrin hails from Utica, New York. He earned his BS degree from Utica College of Syracuse University. While there, he was a cartoonist for the campus humor magazine and art editor of the college yearbook. He continued on to

the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry where he again was art editor of the yearbook. In 1960, after two years in the Air Force, Marv moved to New Jersey. All his life, Sitrin has had an active interest in the creative world of art. In addition to cartooning, he has done oil painting, sculpturing, woodworking, and watercolor. He enjoys tackling all the challenges of watercolor. It has been said that the influence of cartooning can be seen in his work. Sitrin now resides with his wife El in the Four Seasons at Cranbury where water painting classes are close at hand. Although Dale Smith has called Cranbury home for almost 40 years, his roots lie in northern New York (Watertown). He attended St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, and Columbia University, graduating with degrees in chemistry and architecture. His architectural career ran the gamut from commercial and residential in the private sector, and then, with the State of New Jersey, projects in corrections, housing, parks, historic restoration, and office construction. His interest in watercolor spans more than 20 years. He has enjoyed classes with Pietro Smith, Barbara Cox, Lisa Walsh, and Russ Johnson. His focus has been on landscapes with an emphasis on color, attempting to achieve dramatic results using multiple layers of transparent tints. The artwork is for sale with 20 percent of each sale going to support the Cranbury Arts Council and its programs. Cash or a check made out to the Cranbury Arts Council

is accepted as payment. For more information, visit www. cranburyartscouncil.org.

DVD REVIEW

After Brussels, Holding the Right Thought With Hamlet’s World Tour and the Heroics of “MI-5”

“H

old the right thought,” my father used to tell me. That dated variation of “Look on the bright side” didn’t count for much on the morning of September 11, 2001. In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Brussels, we’re better off turning to Shakespeare. Along with the breaking news of ISIS terrorists striking at the heart of Europe, the New York Times ran a feature from the bright side about an acting troupe’s two-year journey to the heart of the world (“Shakespeare’s Globe Is Winding Up a ‘Hamlet’ World Tour”), wherein the players had to deal with visa problems, lost luggage, takeout food, an occasional riot, and a near miss with the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. According to the Times, “In Mexico, spectators scurried up lamp posts and trees to get a view as the cast performed outside of a colonial cathedral. On Tuvalu, a tiny Pacific island, the show was presented alongside a road that doubled as the island’s runway and its main thoroughfare.” In January the Globetrotters were in Djibouti city in East Africa performing for over 300 refugees and migrants from Yemen at the Markazi refugee camp, and last month they played before refugees in Calais, France, where thousands of migrants, many of them from the Middle East, had gathered, hoping to find a way to cross the English Channel. Today, they’re scheduled to play the Cameri Theatre in Tel Aviv. After clocking 180,000 miles, Hamlet will return to the Globe on April 23, the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, ending a tour that began two years ago on the 450th anniversary of his birth. It’s poetry in motion for the poet who rhymed life and death, born April 23, died April 23. Two Women “This is real, this happened” is the message of the widely circulated photo of two women taken in the Brussels airport lobby after the March 22 bombings: the brunette in the foreground holding a phone, intently listening, her hand red with blood, flakes of fall-out from the blast in her neatly groomed hair, while the second woman, dazed with shock, is slumped across two seats behind her, one leg slung over an arm rest, her shoe half off, the other leg dangling, the bare foot caked with the broken litter of the blast that can be seen on the floor, her hair gone grey with soot, a jagged streak of blood on her face, her yellow Jet Airways jacket ripped open. Due to the fame of the photo, the world knows that the she is 40, a mother of two who lives in Mumbai, that she’s in stable condition, and that her companion in the moment is from Belgium and had been on her way to Haiti to join Doctors Without Borders. No Happy Ending Even as you tell yourself “this is not real, this didn’t really happen” while watching the BBC series MI-5 (Spooks in the U.K.), where agents in the Counter-Terrorism Department at Thames House routinely put their lives on the line to save their fellow citizens, you come to know the people who die saving others better than you do the victims of New York 9/11 or London

7/7 or Brussels 3/22 or the two women in the airport photograph. The depth of your involvement in the fictional horrors of MI-5, which ran for ten seasons between 2002 and 2011, is a tribute to the interplay between the central characters who are unable to lead any semblance of a normal life outside the closed clandestine world they inhabit. The show’s producers set a grim standard in the second episode of the first season when a young female recruit, a junior case officer at Thames House, is tortured and murdered during an undercover operation with section chief Tom Quinn (Matthew Macfayden). In a scene as brutal as any you’re likely to sit through this side of Game of Thrones, the woman’s face is submerged in a deep fryer of boiling oil. The shockingly casual brutality of the act attracted hundreds of complaints and was defended by series creator David Wolstencroft as a way of sending the message that

outset, and by all rights she should have been allowed to do her invaluable work in the relative safety of Thames House. But no one in MI-5 is safe and there are no happy endings. The other great interdepartmental romance involves MI-5 warriors in the field Hermione Norris’s Ros and Rupert PenryJones’s Adam, who share a Romeo-andJuliet moment at Ros’s funeral, when as the other mourners are leaving the church, Adam bends over the coffin and brings her to life again with a kiss. One of the numerous reflections of the spies as spooks idea is the way that death is used as a cover for removing an agent in trouble from the grid, as when Ros, after her miraculous recovery, is sent to Moscow as a “range finder,” Zoe (Keeley Hawes) is exiled to Chile, and Ruth “dies” in order to save Harry (because Nicola Walker temporarily left the series to have a baby in “real life”). Exiled to Cyprus, Ruth enjoys a taste of

Head of MI-5 Sir Harry Pearce (Peter Firth) with his most trusted asset Ruth Evershed (Nicola Walker) the world of MI-5 “isn’t the world where the cavalry always arrive, because in reality these people do risk their lives on our behalf and they do get into sticky situations with genuinely nasty people.” Ruth and Harry My reaction to early episodes of MI-5 was, “Do I really want to watch the BBC do Fox’s 24 all over again without Kiefer Sutherland’s charismatic superhero Jack Bauer?” What made me a believer was the Shakespearean complexity of Peter Firth’s Harry Pearce, the steadfast leader of Section D, and the warmth, humanity, and intelligence of Nicola Walker’s Senior Technical Analyst Ruth Evershed. If Sir Harry is worthy of mention in the same breath with his namesake, Shakespeare’s Henry V, Oxford-educated, multi-lingual Ruth conveys a quality of spirit worthy of Shakespeare’s Portia or any of his other genius-level heroines. While every MI-5 romance is doomed, the hopeless love between Ruth and Harry is one of the bittersweet joys of the series. That Ruth is a formidably resourceful, almost uncannily knowledgeable presence is clear from the

outside-world happiness until the forces of evil descend once more and she returns to the grid in Season Eight (in what may have been an in-joke at the BBC. Walker later plays the ghost of a dead detective in last year’s six-part series River, and does so with charming gusto). Probably the most truly darkly Shakespearean character in MI-5 is Richard Armitage’s Lucas North, who performs heroics beyond the call after returning from seven years of torture in Moscow, only to have his dark past come back to bedevil him. His romance with CIA agent Sarah Caulfield (Genevieve O’Reilly) is worth mentioning mainly because one of the more amusing sidelights of MI-5 is when U.K. actors attempt American accents. The Dublin-born O’Reilly is all over the map, north to south, east to west, giving an inadvertent Saturday Night Live quality to her intimate moments with North. London and Londoners One of the great unguilty pleasures of MI-5 is the extent to which the show uses London locales. In more recent series like Luther and River, the city of Dickens and

Sherlock Holmes appears to have been taken over by an East End high-rise film noir replica of L.A. Only in MI-5 could you have a CIA agent quoting Wordsworth’s “Westminster Bridge” to Harry Pearce as the two old rivals sit on a bench overlooking the actual scene (“Earth has not anything to show more fair”). Among the extravaganzas of evil orchestrated all over London, a crazed environmentalist threatens to open the floodgates of the Thames and drown everyone between the East End and Westminster; terrorists plant a bomb in the rafters of Paddington Station; and a reluctant suicide bomber prepares to blow himself up in the middle of Trafalgar Square. Again and again, the plots take scenic and atmospheric advantage of London in a way that might impress the master of landmark-scene-settings, Alfred Hitchcock, who in the course of his Anglo-American career made memorable use of the British Museum in Blackmail, the Royal Albert Hall in The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Covent Garden in Frenzy, not to mention Sabotage, in which he adapted The Secret Agent, Joseph Conrad’s novel of anarchist bomb plots in London. Back to the Globe It’s surprising that, given numerous scenes set in Southwark and Lambeth, Shakespeare’s Globe was not among the London locales exploited by the producers of MI-5. Imagine a terrorist planting a bomb backstage timed to go off as Hamlet begins his most famous soliloquy. “To be or not to be” — boom! But then Shakespeare has a way of encompassing and transcending adversity, life and death. Which reminds me of another piece of uplifting online information I discovered in the aftermath of Brussels. An article in the Guardian titled “The Jig Is Up — Shakespeare’s Globe Sends Them Out Dancing” is accompanied by a video in which the company of Richard II is shown capering joyously about led by Mark Rylance as Richard less than a minute after his coffined body has been wheeled off the stage. While the players whirl and spin, dance and clap, the audience claps along and the Globe is in its cozy glory, true to the terms of Yeats’s “Lapis Lazuli” where “If worthy their prominent part in the play,” Hamlet and Lear don’t “break up their lines to weep,” for “They know that Hamlet and Lear are gay/Gaiety transfiguring all that dread/All men have aimed at, found and lost.” f course even assuming MI-5 defuses a terrorist bomb in time, Hamlet will end, as always, with the stage strewn with dead bodies. But not at the Globe. For an encore, they’ll be up and dancing, Polonius arm in arm with Laertes, the Ghost with Gertrude, Hamlet with Ophelia, just as I like to imagine the spooks of MI-5 coming back to life for a Globe-style curtain call, Adam and Ros, Tom and Helen, Zoe and Danny, Lucas and Jo, and of course Ruth and Harry, everyone clapping and kicking high, a ghost dance for the ages. —Stuart Mitchner All 10 seasons of MI-5 are available on DVD from the Princeton Public Library.

Du Bois’s seminal work, The Souls of Black Folk, there. remaining. explores Du Bois’s theory of double consciousness as a racial and mental phenomenon. Created in collaboration with the six performers, the work questions the ways we see ourselves and how we come to understand our often conflicting identities. Ude, who is from Stone Mountain, Georgia, and a first generation American of Nigerian-born parents, is a senior in the English Department pursuing certificates in Theater and Dance with a special interest in African American performance theory. As a junior, Ude was awarded a grant from the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Mallach Senior Thesis Fund, an award established by Douglas J. Mallach ’91 to support the realization of a proposed senior thesis project that incorporates historical research and creates an

alternative path to learning history. With this funding, Ude spent the summer researching representations of “double consciousness” in contemporary Black performance art, attending a summer intensive with the d a n c e - t h e ate r c o m p a n y Witness Relocation, where she studied the creation of original work through devising methods. She also worked with and interviewed African American artists in Chicago, St. Louis, and New York to advance her understanding of their processes of creation in various disciplines, focusing most on theater, dance, and mixed media art. Ude has become especially interested in how performers are viewed onstage, noting, “I’m interested in the gaze, and how we can use performance as a way of manipulating it and therefore transforming the ways others see us.” As a recipient of the prestigious Daniel M. Sachs Class of 1960 Graduating Scholarship, Ude will spend next year as a Sachs Global Scholar studying indigenous Australian physical theater in Melbourne, Australia.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

DC Comics Adaptation Pits Superman Against Batman

nfortunately Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a disappointment. The picture was directed by Zack Snyder, who also directed the 2013 remake of Superman, called Man of Steel. The first problem with this second movie in the DC Extended Universe series is its interminable 2½ hour running time that could have easily been trimmed to less than 90 minutes. For example, why bother revisiting the backstory about what inspired Bruce Wayne to become Batman, when the murder of his parents had previously been addressed in numerous other episodes? The second issue with the production has to do with Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) being cast as adversaries for the bulk of the film. True, the source of the tension between them is adequately explained, but the audience nevertheless grows impatient because we’d much rather see our heroes resolve their differences and join forces to fight the real villain. After all, the detestable adversary, Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), needs to be dealt with. Unfortunately this slow moving blockbuster takes forever to arrive at that epic showdown. Instead, we’re forced to watch the meaningless machinations of a convoluted adventure that is filled

with atmospherics, action, and special effects. Aside from this, director Snyder features support characters who have nothing much to do with furthering the plot, such as Clark Kent’s colleague Jimmy Olsen (Michael Cassidy), Perry White (Laurence Fishburne), and Bruce Wayne’s butler Alfred (Jeremy Irons). The film also features many cameo appearances by celebrities Neil deGrasse Tyson, Anderson Cooper, Brooke Baldwin, Soledad O’Brien, Nancy Grace, and Dana Bash who distract from, rather than advance, the plot. More enjoyable are the roles played by Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). But by the time the battle with Luthor and his henchman Doomsday (Robin Atkin Downes) finally comes to a head, you’re so tired of peeking at your watch that you just want it over and done with as fast as possible. Make it stop! A patience-testing blockbuster that adds up to much less than the sum of its parts. Fair (H). Rated PG-13 for intense violence, pervasive action, and some sensuality. Running time: 151 minutes. Distributor: Warner Brothers Pictures. —Kam Williams

LET’S BE ADULT ABOUT THIS: The superheroes Batman (Ben Affleck, left) and Superman (Henry Cavill) are trying to resolve the issues that are preventing them from tackling the real villains, Lex Luthor (not shown) and his henchmen, who are threatening the civilized world.

students, parents and teachers remain skeptical. Clearly last year’s criticisms of the test, along with some technology and other logistical problems, were noted by both the District and the State, and this year’s test should run more smoothly, with higher participation levels. But the controversy has not abated. Parents who choose not to have their children take the PARCC must submit a written statement to their children’s principal by April 4. PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane emphasized both the improved administration of testing and the value of these tests. “We were able to modify the testing schedule this year at the high school so that students will not have testing running concurrently with their class schedule,” he said. “We are confident this will make it easier for students to participate in testing and still move forward with the learning in their regular classes” Acquisition and combining of technology resources has enabled the high school to test all students in grades 9-11 at the same time and reduce the school-wide testing window from three weeks to only one for each grade level: April 11-14 for Princeton High School; April 18-22 for John Witherspoon Middle School; April 11-15 for grade five; April 18-22 for grade four; April 25-29 for grade three. Last year there were two testing sessions, one in March and one in May. Total testing time this year will be reduced by approximately 90 minutes. Mr. Cochrane argued that for the PARCC test “no additional PARCC-specific test prep work, which takes time away from meaningful teaching and learning, is necessary or desirable. Stated simply: good instruction leads to good test results.” The PPS website explained, “Our teachers and administrators have worked to align our district curriculum to the Common Core, and our teachers and students have been working with these standards since 2010. PARCC is the assessment that has been specifically designed to ensure student progress in the Common Core. Because of the work done by PPS teachers to meet the high-level learning expectations set forth by the Common Core Standards in each classroom, we believe that our students are well prepared for the content and skills assessed through PARCC.” Julia Sass Rubin, associate professor of planning and public policy at Rutgers’ Bloustein School and the mother of an eighth grader at John Witherspoon, disagreed. “It’s a bad test, an unproven test,” she said. “But we don’t advocate refusal. We advocate for parents to have options and information. There’s bad information and misinformation out there. We want to make sure that people are informed.” A co-founder of Save Our Schools NJ, Ms. Rubin stated that Princeton Schools’ handling of the test was more fair and helpful than that of many other districts, but she criticized the lack of publicity in promoting the refusal option. “The school district has not published the refusal policy,

but they have it on their website and they have not misled parents,” she said. Stating that the school district is under political pressure to reduce absenteeism, Ms. Rubin explained that the State cannot withhold funds from schools because of low student participation. “There’s no real threat, no consequences,” she said. “Schools will not lose money if parents and schools opt out.” The controversial PARCC Tests have been described by the NJEA as “fundamentally flawed instruments that are expensive, time-consuming, and do not improve instruction or student achievement.” The NJEA reported that New Jersey is one of only seven states adm inister ing t he PARCC Tests, with 17 states originally committed to the tests having dropped PARCC over the past five years. “The test doesn’t measure what you want it to measure,” Ms. Rubin claimed. “It skews and distorts the whole process. The student’s academic transcript is a better gauge of ability and learning — years of daily effort versus how you do on a test on one day.” She described the tests as a reflection of parental income rather than educational level, as an incentive to narrow the curriculum and de-emphasize the arts “because what gets tested is what gets taught, and as a time-consuming, expensive, discriminatory measurement, particularly in the cases of special needs students, lowincome students and nonnative speakers.” The long-term future of the embattled PARCC test in New Jersey and the nation is uncertain. The NJDOE has announced that passing scores on designated PARCC tests will be a graduation requirement, but because the test is relatively new current high school students are allowed to use other standardized assessments to meet the requirement, and there is also a “portfolio assessment” option. The PPS website explains, “The new state-mandated

graduation requirements are currently being debated and may change over the next few years.” Ms. Rubin’s view is that the state DOE “is building this plane in mid-flight,” and she added, “The District is in a bind. Parents are not. They can say no without any consequences. There is no compelling reason for students to take this test.” PPS, however, states on its website, “The assessments are based on the Common Core Standards, which focus on critical thinking skills and students’ ability to read, write, speak, listen and solve ‘real-world’ problems independently. The standards were developed with the goal of ensuring all students are college and career ready.” —Donald Gilpin

Starting Home Slate by Sweeping Colgate, PU Softball Fired Up for Ivy League Play

fter going 3-17 as it started its 2016 campaign with trips to Texas, Virginia, and California, the Princeton University softball team was looking to make a statement as it hosted Colgate for a doubleheader last Saturday in its home opener. “The talk before the game was that we have to learn how to play at home and we have to prove how we are going to play at home to set the tone today for the Ivy season,” said Princeton head coach Lisa Van Ackeren. The Tigers didn’t waste any time setting a positive tone, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first inning of game one to take a 4-1 lead as freshman Kaylee Grant slammed a key two-run double. Building on that strong start, Princeton went on to a 7-4 victory. With Grant going 2-for-4 with a run and three RBIs and classmate Kaitlyn Waslawski going 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI, Van Ackeren believes the newcomers could do some big things this spring. “They are workhorses both of them; they were unsuccessful early in the year,” said Van Ackeren, whose starting lineup includes another freshman, third baseman Alex Viscusi. “They had some things they were working through and they worked through them and it is great now because they stuck with it and it is starting to show up more consistently. We know what they are capable of and we are just starting to seeing a glimpse of that.” Princeton gave a glimpse of its hitting prowess as it rolled to a 9-6 win in the nightcap, as a grand slam by sophomore shortstop Danielle Dockx in the third inning broke open the contest. “It was exciting,” said Van Ackeren, referring to Dockx’s blast, which sailed well

over the center field fence. “I think we just needed to capitalize on some mistakes on the other side and make sure that we come up with big hits when they count and we did a good job of that today; that is what we have been parking towards. In California our focus was timely hitting and RBI situations, so we worked on that quite a bit this week and it showed up.” Although the Tigers took their lumps in California, going 0-11 on the trip, Van Ackeren believes the experience will help her squad in the long run. “It was a trip that was purposeful for the program’s sake; facing better teams is how you learn how to get better,” said Van Ackeren. “I think Colgate gave us a good test today and it is nice to have a little bit of momentum at home close to the Ivy season.” Princeton needs its pitching corps of sophomore Ashley La Guardia, senior Shanna Christian, junior Claire Klausner, junior Erica Nori, and freshman Riley Wilkinson to gain some momentum as the staff has an ERA of 4.42. “We have five very capable pitchers and all of them are refining what they are doing, refining their craft,” said Van Ackeren, who got wins from Klausner and La Guardia in the sweep of Colgate. “It was great today because Colgate did a great job of punishing our mistakes and that is what we need to learn to get better. We need to shore some things up and make some small adjustments. They are vary capable. We have had pitchers injured in the past so it is great to now have five. They are very different, they have different game plans. When they get in the circle, the matchups end up being kind of fun based on what we see from the hitters.” It has been fun for Van Ackeren to see the

team’s seniors shoulder more responsibility this spring. “The senior class has done an amazing job with the leadership and the buying in,” asserted Van Ackeren, whose group of seniors includes Kate Miller, Emily Viggers, Kayla Bose, Danielle Allen, and Skye Jerpbak in addition to Christian. “The support that they give to the freshman class is really important because some of them have taken on big goals and the senior class is at the heart of that. They have created this team and it is a group that has a really good work ethic, win or lose.” In Van Ackeren’s view, Bose has been FRESH APPROACH: Princeton University softball player Kaitlyn at the heart of things, Waslawski lays down a bunt against Colgate last Saturday.

Bringing a two-game losing streak into its clash at Harvard last Saturday, the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team was looking to get back to basics. “We did a lot of work on just small pieces, like our defensive approach and continuing work on our stick protection and our 1-on-1,” said Princeton head coach Chris Sailer, whose 11thranked team had lost 1611 at No. 6 Notre Dame on March 13 and 14-10 at No. 8 Penn State three days later. “We did smaller pieces of the game and we proceeded to work into the 7-vs-7 offense and defense kind of work. A lot of it was just getting back to some of the fundamentals which had really caused us some issues in the previous two games.” While a gritty Har vard team caused some issues for Princeton, the Tigers got back on the winning track as they pulled out a 6-5 win over the Crimson, improving to 5-2 overall and 2-0 Ivy League. “We knew Harvard was a good team,” said Sailer. “They have had good results. They have some really athletic kids and good sticks. They have been doing a really good job this year so we thought it would be a really competitive game. I didn’t necessarily think it was going to be as low scoring as it was, I didn’t project that. Fortunately we were able to put one more in the net than they did.”

Keeping Harvard out of the net played a critical role in the win for Princeton. “I think one of the things that made a difference for us all in the game was the performance of Ellie DeGarmo in the cage,” said Sailer of junior star DeGarmo, who was later named the Iv y Co-Defensive Player of the Week for her performance along with Dartmouth’s Jaclyn Leto. “She was just phenomenal with her career-high 14 saves, that was a huge difference for us in that game.” Sailer acknowledged that the Tigers were on their heels for much of the second half. “They absolutely outshot us,” said Sailer, noting that her team benefitted from an illegal stick call in the waning moments of the game that negated what would have been a game-tying goal by Harvard. “In the second half, there weren’t many draws because there weren’t many goals but they won all of the draws. We were up one at halftime and we ended up winning by one so it was an even game goal-wise in that second half but they had more offensive possessions and more shots than we did. So it was really the defense just hanging in there and Ellie coming up with some great saves.” The Princeton offense was sparked by another great performance from junior star and co-captain Olivia

Hompe, who scored four goals. “Olivia had a phenomenal game, they were face-guarding her and she worked really hard to get herself open,” said Sailer. “Her teammates gave her some great feeds and she was able to put them away. It was definitely teamwork on the attack that got us those highlight goals.” Hompe enjoyed a personal highlight as she hit the 100goal milestone in her career with her second tally of the contest. “It doesn’t surprise me at all, she has been a big scorer and points getter; I think it just speaks to her talent and her abilities,” added Sailer of Hompe, who has a teamhigh 26 goals this season. “T h is ye ar e sp e cia l ly, she is the focus of so many team’s defenses and that is what has separated Liv this year; she has been able to put up consistent numbers while being face-guarded, while being double-teamed, and while taking a lot of physicality. Teams play very physically on her but she is such a competitor and she continues to find a way so I think her play has been a huge factor in our success this year.” Another big factor for the Tigers against Harvard was the playmaking of sophomore Colby Chanenchuk, who had a career-high three assists. “Chanenchuk had some nice feeds to Liv, she knows how to look for her and she knows what Liv is likely to do and she is not afraid to put the ball in there,” said Sailer. “It is really teamwork, that is what it is about.” Seeing her team get back

on the winning track with a crucial Ivy victory was heartening for Sailer. “I think it is really just huge to play a better game, which we did,” said Sailer. “It is still not perfect; we still had more turnovers than we would like to see. To be able to win in Harvard Stadium, coming off the week that we had come off before is great for our team. I think everyone knows that we have to play even better than we did. Harvard is going to be one of the top teams in the Ivies. Dartmouth beat Penn this past weekend and Cornell has had a great start. The Ivy competition is really going to be tight, good, and very competitive so to have two wins having played Harvard and Dartmouth is awesome for us.” As Princeton prepares for the Ivy stretch drive, it will stay on the road for two competitive non-conference contest as it plays at Loyola (6-4) on March 30 and at Delaware (8-3) on April 2. “I would like to see us continue to improve, the challenge for us will be that both teams play different defenses than what we see consistently,” said Sailer. “So how we adjust to that offensively, being able to find our looks and taking care of the ball against the pressure will be key. They are bot h really at h let ic teams. They are fast, they have good sticks. It is a big week and hopefully we can keep ascending from Saturday’s game, play well, and come out with some good results.” —Bill Alden

After Falling Just Short in Loss to Top-Ranked Yale, Tiger Men’s Lax Faces Another Test at No. 3 Brown

On paper, it looked like a mismatch as a struggling Princeton University men’s lacrosse team played at sizzling Yale last Saturday. Princeton entered the day at 2-4, having lost four of its last five games, with Yale at 6-0 and ranked No. 3 in the country. Midway through the first quarter, it looked like a rout was on as Yale jumped out to a 3-0 lead. But the recent history of the series, which had seen the rivals play six straight one-goal games in regular season play, dictated otherwise. The Luxor Pavilion at Adding to that lore, the Care & Rehabilitation Center Tigers rallied back, narrowing the gap to 5-4 at half. In the third quarter, the game was tied three times and after falling behind 9-7 heading into the fourth quarter, Princeton drew to within one goal on three different enter occasions.

and executed well enough to win the game and that is where we want to be. We need to learn how to win those games.” Bates saw a lot of good things from his squad in defeat. “The half field defense was sound,” asserted Bates. “We played much better as a unit offensively, we managed the game better and we shared the ball. We had assisted goals. I think our guys feel good about our improvement but not about coming back with a loss.” The Tiger offense was paced by sophomore midfielder Austin Sims, who notched a career-high four goals, with junior Zach Currier contributing two goals and junior Gavin McBride chipping in two goals and an assist. “Austin was solid there, he is becoming a presence there and playing with confidence; you have just seen him grow up before your eyes,” said Bates. “Z ach d id s om e go o d things, he got a garbage goal and he got a goal in the fourth quarter. He was his typical disruptive self. Gavin is a kid who works so hard, he shoots extra balls before or after practice every day and it pays off. We are expecting him to take next steps leadership wise. He has had a very solid year.” Noting that Yale is now ranked first nationally, Bates

believes that his team’s solid effort against the Bulldogs could pay dividends. “We will tip our hat; if we are one goal away from beating the No. 1 team in the country, I will take it,” said Bates. “I think I would be singing a different song if we lost by 10. We are disappointed because it was an opportunity for us to beat a rival and a top-ranked team. At the end of the day, I believe we are building some confidence and taking next steps. We have a lot of lacrosse ahead of us. We are 0-2 in the Ivies and Yale has come back from that three times to be league champions. The focus is on this week but I think in the big picture, our guys feel that we can take those positives and make some next steps that will pay off.” Playing this Saturday at run-and-gun No. 3 Brown, which is 6-0 overall, 1-0 Ivy and is scoring 17.3 goals a game, the Tigers will need to step up to topple the Bears. “They play at a different clip, they take chances and they try to generate a ton of shots,” said Bates. “That is not a horse race we want to get into. We have to find ways to slow them down a little bit and force them into mistakes and have us execute our game plan.” —Bill Alden

Coming Off Encouraging 10-Win Campaign, PHS Baseball Aiming to Get Over .500 Mark

BATMAN: Princeton High baseball player Colin Taylor waits for a pitch in a game last spring. PHS is looking for senior third baseman Taylor to provide some pop in the middle of the batting order.

After hitting the 10-win mark last spring for the first time in years, the Princeton High baseball team is bringing some swagger into 2016. “We have a lot of guys who have played a ton of varsity baseball games,” said PHS head coach Dave Roberts, who guided the Little Tigers to a 10-15 record last spring. “They have won a lot of games so we are not questioning whether or not we can win games, it really is a question of how can we improve on 10.” Roberts is looking for senior stars, Hayden Reyes, Mat t L amber t, Joaquin Hernandez-Burt, and Colin Taylor, to set a tone. “They have their sights set on something big,” said Roberts, whose team opens its 2016 campaign by playing at Steinert on April 1 and at Allentown on April 2. “Hayden Reyes is going into his fourth year of varsity baseball. Matt Lambert, Joaquin Hernandez-Burt and

Picasso and Abstraction: Encounters and Avoidance Pablo Picasso did not speak often about abstraction, but when he did, it was either to dismiss it as complacent decoration or to declare its very notion an oxymoron. The root of this hostility is to be found in the impasse that the artist reached in the summer of 1910, when abstraction suddenly appeared as the logical development of his previous work, a possibility from which he recoiled in horror. But though he swore to never go again near abstraction, he could not prevent himself from testing his resolve from time to time.

Colin Taylor are all going into their third straight year of varsity baseball. They have been with me a long time now, they have been major contributors.” Hernandez-Burt figures to be a major force on the mound for PHS after being unable to pitch most of last spring. “Joaquin is rested and ready to go, it is such a difference maker,” said Roberts. “He is a true ace and the sophomore year he had was just tremendous. We are glad to have him to back. He is raring to pitch eight or nine regular season games and hopefully some tournament games for us.” PHS will need the rest of its pitching corps to capably back up Hernandez-Burt. “We are looking at another senior Joey Studholme; he has been with the program all four years and he is going to step up to the varsity this year,” added Roberts. “We are looking at Zach Yoelson, who is a sophomore lefty for us. Hayden is itching to pitch, he took a year off from pitching last year. He is telling me that he wants to close out games; that will give me an experienced back end guy, which is pretty nice. We have a sophomore Mike Ramirez looking to fill the innings that are left and then sophomore Paul Cooke pitched a little bit last year.” In 2015, offense made the difference in a lot of games at PHS. “We scored a ton of runs last year, it was close to four-and-a half-to five runs a game,” said Roberts, noting that Cooke and Reyes both had 34 hits last spring, breaking the program’s previous single-season record of 33. “That is a lot of runs a game.” Roberts is confident that his squad can score a lot of runs again this season. “I think it is going to be Reyes, Lambert, and Cooke at the top of the order.

In this lecture, Yve-Alain Bois, Professor in the School of Historical Studies, will examine several encounters, or rather false encounters, of Picasso with abstraction. Bois will also discuss the way in which pioneers of abstract art (Mondrian in particular) thought of their own art as the continuation of Picasso’s.

some pop,” said Roberts. “The good thing about the top four guys is not only are they great hitters but every one of them can steal a base. We are lightning quick through the first four. Cooke is stronger, his swing is still incredibly good looking. I love the lefty in that three spot, it is kind of an old school lineup a little bit. We will keep Joaquin in that fifth spot. We are getting the return of Dan Gross who contributed a lot as a freshman, he will slide in there at that six spot.” PHS looks good on defense with sophomore Alec Silverman back at catcher and Hernandez-Burt at first base along with junior Teddy Marttila, Lambert at second, Reyes at short, and Taylor at third. Cooke will anchor the outfield at center with a group of seniors Micah

Daly-Harris, Aaron Lichtblau, and Studholme along with sophomores John Girouard and Ramirez in the mix for the corner spots. “We are strong up the middle and we are strong in the whole infield,” said Roberts. “This is the best infield I have had in my tenure here.” In Roberts’ view, the squad is poised to produce the best season of his seven-year tenure with the program. “We gave a couple of games away last year, if we can stop doing that we can be on the right side of .500,” said Roberts. “The young guys have to step up with the pitching, they’ve got to trust their stuff and throw strikes. The key to success is that the guys have to fill in behind Joaquin. Last year was the best offensive year we have had since I have been here and I would like to duplicate that.” —Bill Alden

Things were a little unsettled for the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team as it took the field for preseason this spring. “I think there was a bit of consternation coming into the start of the season with the graduation of Mira Shane and Oona Ryle and the departure of Allie Callaway, who moved over to Hun,” said PHS head coach Dav id S ch le si nger, who guided the Little Tigers to a 10-13 mark and a spot in the sectional semifinals last spring in his debut season with the program. “We had two other girls who were starters last year, Jordyn Cane and Sydney Reynolds, who have decided not to continue to play lacrosse. There was a little bit of disappointment with all of that.” Quickly putting that adversity in the rear view mirror, the Little Tigers are ready to hit the ground running as they open their 2016 campaign this week. “The mood is quite bright right now,” said Schlesinger, whose team starts the season by playing at the Hun School on March 31. “I think our preseason has been very strong. We have got a really terrific group of freshmen who are pushing the upperclassmen quite a bit. I think the girls are quite excited about the start of the season.” Schlesinger is excited to have senior star and Cornellbound Taylor Lis spearheading the PHS midfield. “Taylor is our top returning midfielder, she is going to be our draw control specialist,” said Schlesinger. “Taylor is a great athlete, she is remarkably fit, and she is fast and strong. She is a very, very smart player. The other midfielders right now will be Georgia McLean and Abaigeal Ryan. Georgia is a junior who started last year. Abaigeal is a sophomore who started for us all last year as a low defender but has moved up so she is playing in the offensive end and the defensive end.” Ryan’s older sister, Temple-bound senior star Julia Ryan, has stepped up on attack. “Julia Ryan has moved to attack and is playing at an exceptionally high level,” said Schlesinger. “She will be there along with Mariana Lopez-Ona, who is a freshman, Margaret Jacobs, who is a sophomore, and Olivia Geller, who is a junior.” On defense, PHS will be featuring a combination of experience and young talent. “Gabby Deitch, a soccer commit to Vassar, is coming back for a second year as a starter on low defense,” said Schlesinger. “Gwen Koehler has started on low defense last year as a sophomore and she is back. Sophia Navarrete, who played on our JV last year as a freshman has really committed to being a low defender over the summer with her club team and has improved dramatically so she is another starter. We have another freshman named Sophia Bolitho on defense.” There is a dramatic void

for PHS to fill at goalie with the graduation of four-year starter Shane, who is now starring for the University of Michigan. “Mary Rose is a very courageous, at h let ic you ng player; she is still new to the position but she is gaining experience every day,” said Schelsinger. “There is another goalie, Zoe Tesone, who we are waiting to star t working with. Zoe injured her ankle during basketball season. If you have seen Zoe play soccer, you know what a good athlete she is so we will have a little depth at the position hopefully.” As Schlesinger enters his second year working with the team, he believes the players are in synch with his approach. “The girls know how I like to run things, even in just setting up for drills and the routine at the beginning of practice for stretching,” said Schlesinger. “Knowing how I like to have things run, they are all bought in already so I don’t

have to convince the team this year that this is the right way to go.” Last spring, the Little Tigers enjoyed a late run, advancing to the Mercer County Tournament semifinals and then upsetting top-seeded Northern Highlands on the way to the North Group 3 sectional semifinals. “The team really came together and really bought into playing the game the right way,” said Schlesinger, reflecting on the 2015 stretch drive. “Once that happens and once everyone commits to it, then it becomes pretty easy.” In Schlesinger’s view, if things come together on the defensive end for PHS this spring, it could enjoy a superb campaign. “We need to play ver y strong team defense ; we will score goals but we need to be able to stop them and that is the whole key to our team,” asserted Schlesinger. “If our team defense can improve consistently over the course of the season then we will be pretty good by the end of the year.” —Bill Alden

Boasting a Solid Core of Experienced Players, PHS Softball Primed for Competitive Season The good news for the Princeton High softball team is that it boasts a solid core of veterans. “We have got eight players who had a lot of varsity time last year; we only lost Sarah Eisenach,” said PHS head coach Dave Boehm, who guided the Little Tigers to a 7-16 mark last spring for the second straight season. The bad news, though, is that PHS doesn’t boast a lot of depth. “I was carrying 11 on varsity and now I am down to 10,” said Boehm, noting that sophomore Bianca Guidi is currently sidelined due to injury. “We have to shift some personnel around sometimes.” Boehm is looking for junior Kayla Volante to carry the pitching load. “Kayla has been doing well, we will be as good as long as she holds up,” said Boehm, whose team starts its 2016 campaign by hosting Hamilton on April 2. “She hits her spots; she is pretty good with her location. She throws pretty well and has good movement. I think we will be OK as long as she stays healthy.” Junior Nancy Gray should also see time in the circle. “Nancy is a work in progress ; she t hrows pret t y hard,” added Boehm. “She just needs to hit location and change speeds sometimes.” With such battle-tested players as senior Natalie Campisi, senior Kelli Swedish, junior Christina Cuomo, senior Stephanie Wu, senior Genna Garlock, senior Emily DiLella, and Gray, the PHS hitting attack figures to be potent. “Natalie Campisi will be at the top of the order, she has got some good speed, she can lay down the bunt and gets the ball in play,” said Boehm. “M y n u m b e r 3 - 4 h i tters will be Gray and Kelli Swedish; they will be the meat of the order for us. I would like Christina Cuomo to come through and bat

second for us, she can slap and put players in motion. Stephanie Wu has looked OK, she is our jack of all trades. Emily DiLella has been hitting pretty well so I am pretty confident with her too. Genna Garlock is counted on to get some hits out there.” Boehm is confident in his defense, which features Cuomo at catcher, DiLella at first base, Wu and junior Megan Shanahan at second, Gray at shortstop, Swedish at third with Garlock in left field, Campisi in center, and junior Celia Gleason in right. “I think we will be OK defensively, the fact that they are getting to play different positions in the scrimmages should help us out in the long run if we do have to move people around,” said Boehm. “The outfield is pretty solid, they will catch the balls

out there. I am not really worried about the infield.” In Boehm’s view, the Little Tigers have the potential to produce a solid season. “Going double digits in wins is possible but things have to go our way,” said Boehm. “It all depends on how Kayla holds up; she is going to have to throw a lot of games. We have to get some timely hitting, that has to be our big thing. We can’t have those big snowball innings in the field either.” Noting that his players have a good time playing w ith each other, Boehm sees that chemistry as a big plus for the Little Tigers this spring. “This is a team with no drama, they all get along,” said Boehm. “There isn’t any backbiting, maybe because I have small numbers they realize that they can’t afford any of that. There is going to be plenty of playing time for everyone.” —Bill Alden

Picking Up Where It Left Off After Big 2015 Season, Hun Boys’ Lax Defeats Georgetown Prep in Opener Having enjoyed a season for the ages last spring when it went 19-1 and won its first state Prep A title since 1998, the Hun School boys’ lacrosse team picked up

Ranking, jumped out to a 6-1 halftime lead over the No. 17 Hoyas. Holding off a second-half rally by the visitors, the Raiders prevailed 14-8 in the March 22 contest. Post-graduate Luke Prybylski led the way for Hun, scoring four goals while sophomore transfer Jacob Keller tallied t wo goals. Senior star midfielder and Villanova-bound Owen Black had a hat trick with classmate Griffin Moroney chipping in two goals. Senior star and Princetonbound Jon Levine was a rock as usual in goal, making 12 saves to spearhead the defensive effort. In reflecting on the win, Hun head coach M.V. Whitlow saw it as exemplifying the program’s solid foundation. “This is our fourth year here now and the culture has come together,” said Whitlow. “These are great young men from great families and they are exceptional students who are serious about their craft.” As a result of that culture, the Raiders have seamlessly blended in their annual infusion of talent. “The new guys that we added are just the right kind of guys,” added Whitlow, whose squad will look to keep on the winning track when it hosts the Blair Academy on April 2. “They are character guys and team-first guys who have been embraced by the returners. And some of the younger guys have grown up. Jake Keller is a sophomore who was one of the best players on the field today.” —Bill Alden

With Legendary Coach McQuade Enjoying Swan Song, Hun Baseball Featuring Mound Depth, Solid Hitting As Bill McQuade presides over his 46th and final campaign as the head coach of the Hun School baseball team, he doesn’t have to micromanage things. “I am really fortunate to have Tommy Monfilet to, Steve Garrison, and Pat Jones as assistant coaches,” said McQuade, a longtime math teacher and former head of the Hun Upper School who recently announced that he would be retiring at the end of the 2015-16 school year. “I talk before and after practice and bring the kids over individually and talk to them. The nice thing is to see how those other three guys are there for the entire program. They have all been a part of Hun for a long time and the kids naturally look up to them because they are much closer to them in age. Stevie pitched for the Yankees so when these guys talk, the players’ eyes get big. Coming off a 14-8 season in 2015 which saw Hun make the state Prep A finals, the Raiders have a big void to fill with the graduation of star pitcher Jason Applegate, who won nine games last spring and is now playing at Villanova. “Hun and I have been so fortunate to have a string of pitchers like Garrison, [Mike] Russo, and Applegate; it has been runs of three or four years with different players that don’t necessarily overlap,” said McQuade, whose team gets regular season play underway by playing at the Lawrenceville School on March 31, hosting the Perkiomen School (Pa.) on April 1, and playing at Blair Academy on April 2. “There is no Applegate to give the ball to this year.” McQuade is looking for the trio of senior James Werosta, senior Robby Huselid, and junior Mike Pedota to anchor the mound staff. “The kid who is probably going to be the No 1 for us is James Werosta; he came back and he is just a grinder,” said McQuade, noting that senior lefty hurler George Revock is currently dealing with some arm problems and could be back later in the spring. “Huselid is probably No. 2; he is a 6’5, 6’6 righthander starting to get some confidence in himself. We have tinkered with his delivery to get him to change; he will do anything we ask him to do and we have said just be you. He has got to be one of the guys who steps up and does the job for us. Mike Pedota is a junior coming up from the JV team, he is a right-hander with good stuff, but not overpowering. He has good control, knows how to pitch so we have got to get innings from him.” Supplementing those

three, McQuade has a number of arms at his disposal. “We have a boatload of other guys, it will be pitching by committee,” said McQuade, pointing to senior E.J. Locascio, senior Alex Mumme, junior Matt Moore, and junior Ryan Strype as possible mound options. The batting attack will be paced by Moore, junior Blake Brown, senior Jordyn Smith, Mumme, Werosta, Revock, and freshman McGuire Tuffy. “Moore is a tall righty, bats lefty and just sprays the ball all over the field as a hitter,” said McQuade. “Blake bats from the left side, he has got speed. I love him, I am trying to find a spot in the lineup for him where he can get consistent reps the whole time; the kid is just a gamer. Mumme is hitting really well, he has been terrific. His bat has been sure. We have Jordy Smith back. Revock is locked into a DH role, he has got to do some rehab on his arm. Werosta is much stronger than he was last year, his bat is really quick and he has looked good. McGuire Tuffy is a freshman second baseman but he doesn’t look like a freshman, he doesn’t act like a freshman, and doesn’t play like a freshman. He hits the ball, he bats from the left hand side, throws righty. He knows the game inside in and inside out, his swing is really nice to watch.”

McQuade likes what he is seeing from his team defensively around the infield with Strype at catcher, Smith at first base, Tuffy at second, Pedota at shortstop, Werosta at third, and Brown seeing time at short and third. The outfield will feature Moore, Mumme, and postgraduate Luke Apuzzi, who has shown the ability to make some dazzling plays. “If our pitchers throw strikes and get ahead in the count, I think our defense is going to be pretty good,” said McQuade. While the Raiders possess the hitting prowess to outscore foes, they will need to show consistency on the mound and in the field to enjoy a very good season. “I think we can score runs; it has got to come down to the mound, we can’t walk people and we have to make the routine plays because we can’t give extra outs,” maintained McQuade. “For us to win, we can’t give away base runners. We just can’t do that and expect everyone to make the play because someone is going to get hits. It is not like you have Garrison, Russo, or Applegate to strike out one and a half an inning. If you get a guy on third base with one out, you can strike out the next batter and get the next one. With the other guys that put the ball into play, it is going to force us to bring the infield in and then bigger innings happen. It is going to be fun to see.” —Bill Alden

Liz Cook enjoyed a superb debut season at the helm of the Hun School girls’ lacrosse team last spring, guiding the Raiders to seven victories as they bounced back from a one-win campaign in 2014. As Hun heads into 2016, Cook senses a new attitude around the program. “I said that to them at the end of last year, the culture of losing is over, we are not doing that any more,” said Cook. “If we play well, it is OK but that is not our expectation. Our expectations are really high this year and we are going to hold them accountable for that.” Based on its recent preseason trip to South Carolina, the players are on board. “They are looking to build on this momentum that we gained from last year, they all have this new sense of confidence,” said Cook, whose squad gets its 2016 campaign underway by hosting Princeton High on March 31 and playing at Blair Academy on April 2. “I have six seniors, Allie Callaway, Lindsay Ruddy,

the Consoli sisters — Emma and Katie, Sydney Peoples, and Maura Kelly. They are all great leaders and they are all bonded and are out there trying to get this team together, which is awesome.” In Cook’s view, things are already coming together on the field. “I have a team that has all of the fundamentals, they can all throw and catch, which is so lovely,” said Cook. “They can put in any play that you give them. They all seem to get along really well, we have a great culture in the locker room. They are all super excited; they are thinking really big this season so that is really fun to see.” H u n b o as t s s om e big weapons on offense, featuring balance. “I have a great midfield/attack base so it is fun,” said Cook “I have three people who can take the draw, I have six shooters, I have six midfielders. I can put them anywhere. I can really interchange them, we have tried everything.” Senior transfer and George Mason-bound Callaway along with Ruddy, junior Shannon Dudeck, sopho-

more Bridget Carrezola, and sophomore Nicole Apuzzi figure to put the pressure on Hun’s foes. “I have got Allie, I have got Lindsay, I have got Shannon,” said Cook. “Allie is dominant on the field. I have got another newcomer, Bridget Carrezola; she is a hustler and can put the ball in the net. She and Allie work very well together. She can run both ways but she is really a goal scorer. Nicole Apuzzi is dynamite; she brings this grit, determination, and aggression.” The Hun defense is stocked with veterans, featuring Kelly, the Consoli twins, and junior Kate Davis. “I put the Consolis back there, they are fun to watch together,” added Cook, who will be using sophomore Ke n d a l l D a n d r i d g e a n d freshman Olivia McNulty on defense as well. “Emma missed last year’s season with an ACL tear so she is back again. They work really well together; I think being twins has something to do with it. Kate Davis, who is probably one of the fastest kids in the county, is back there. She is a great athlete. Maura Kelly is back there as well; she is tall and great in the defensive areas.” At goalie, junior Maddie McNulty is poised to build on the progress she made last year when she established herself in the cage. “With our team we do one words and her one word of the season is ‘consistency’ and that is what she is looking for,” said Cook. “She has gained so much more consistency this year. She is talking a lot more than she did; she is screaming in cage. She is really confident with where she stands with the team. Her clears are better and just being that quarterback of the defense is her role, she knows it and she is good at it.” In Cook’s view, her squad is poised for a very good season. “The potential is there to go wherever they want to go with it,” asserted Cook. “We don’t have a lot of depth so they have to be in good shape. Provided we don’t have any injuries, they are thinking big; they want to go all the way. They certainly have the talent and the team unit to do it. I am just there to help and to guide them along the way as much as I can.” —Bill Alden

Looking to Build on Last Year’s Progress, Stuart Lax Poised for Exciting Campaign It didn’t take long this spring for Kelsey O’Gorman to get a good feeling about her Stuar t Countr y Day School lacrosse team. “I really think this group has a ton of potential, even just the vibe I am getting from practice and them all being together, the upperclassmen are helping the underclassmen and the connection is really there,” said Stuart head coach O’Gorman, who guided the Tartans to a 7-9 record last spring in her debut campaign at the helm of the program. “It is always hard to describe but you could sense it from day one so I am excited about that.” As O’Gorman heads into her second season guiding the Tartans, she is feeling a deeper connection with her players. “I am used to environment and the atmosphere, the expectations are set and it is just going to be nice to have that background already established,” said O’Gorman, whose team opens its season by playing at Rutgers Prep on March 31 and at Princeton Day School on April 4. “The scaffolding has been laid from last year; not that it was a learning year but I think this is going go be a progressive year for us.” O’Gorman is depending on her corps of seniors to have a big year. “We have a strong group, Julia Maser, Rose Tetnowski, Tori Hannah, and Harley Guzman; they are my seniors leading the pack,” noted O’Gorman. “I just think that they are really going to be bringing their knowledge down to the freshmen.” The trio of Maser, Hannah, and Guzman, figures to lead the attack for the Tartans. “I think offensive production is definitely a strong area for us, we have players who really stand out and know how to finish in goal,” said O’Gorman, whose attack unit will also include juniors Izy Engel and Caitlyn Delaney, sophomores Ali Hannah and Elle Widger and freshmen Millie Brigaud and Lauren Magnani. “I am looking for us to be strong in that aspect. The seniors are definitely going to be big assets for us. We also have some young players coming in like Grace Sheppard and Addie McCa-

be. We have great additions this season so I am excited to blend it all together.” Stuart will depend on the battle-tested Tetnowski to hold the defense together. “We have Rose leading the defense and Gin-Gin Plehn is a sophomore returning there,” said O’Gorman, who will also be using juniors Puneet Gill and Tina Lu along with freshmen Bridget Zhong, Meghan Liebowitz, and Breasia Williams on defense. “We definitely have strength in the defensive unit.” Having lost one of the program’s stronger goalies in recent years, Harlyn Bell,

to graduation, Stuart has a big hole to fill in the cage. “We have Claire Landers in goal, she is a defender helping us out in that position,” said O’Gorman. “We may possibly have Ali Hannah playing goal as well but right now Claire has really stepped up. She is doing a great job, there is no fear in her.” In order for the Tartans to have a great spring, they need to play as a unit. “The key for us is just getting on the same page,” said O’Gorman. “The younger players need to be following the advice from their coaches and the upperclassmen, nurturing that knowledge and working well with one another.” —Bill Alden

STOCKTON REAL ESTATE… A Princeton Tradition

BOOST YOUR HOME'S APPEAL INSTANTLY WITH CONTAINERS OF COLORFUL PLANTS

Experience ✦ Honesty ✦ Integrity 32 Chambers Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 (800) 763-1416 ✦ (609) 924-1416

What's the best way to generate a positive reaction from buyers – even before they walk through the front door? With attractive, healthy plants located right near the entryway, and there's no time like spring to make this simple change that can make a major difference in your home's appeal. Adding some container plantings to your front porch is a great way to add some color, and it also sends a message that your home is well cared for. For optimal effect, use a mix of upright and trailing plants with both flowers and greenery. Opt for annuals for color all season long. And make sure the container is attractive – don't simply buy a plastic nursery pot of flowers an plop it on your doorstep. Choose a colorful container that “pops” or one that enhances your home's style or color scheme. Be sure to water regularly (read the plant labels for complete instructions) and use a plant food supplement designed for container plants. No green thumb? No eye for color? Buy a pre-planted container from your local nursery or home improvement store for instant plant appeal without any guesswork.
