SPOTLIGHT
Memorial Day
Sopranos star speaks at library event
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
Author and actor Steve Schirri-
pa, best known for his long-time
role on the HBO series The So-
pranos, spoke to a crowd of
about 60 at the Princeton Public
Library on May 15.
Schirripa, a New York Times
bestselling author, is promoting
his newest book, Big Daddys
Rules: Raising Daughters is
Tougher than I Look (Touch-
stone, 2013). Jeff Edelstein,
columnist for The Trentonian,
conducted an interview with
Schirripa before the author took
questions from the audience.
Schirripa said his own parent-
ing style isnt much different
from that of his Sopranos char-
acter, Bobby Baccala Bac-
calieri.
Well, Bobby was a loving fa-
ther, Schirripa said. He really
cared. I think Bobby was a really
good father. He cared about those
kids.
Schirripas book is a humorous
look at parenting, based on his ex-
perience raising two daughters.
The book encourages fathers to
return to commonsense parent-
ing and reclaim their role as pro-
tector and holder of values to be
passed down.
Schirripa shared stories with
the audience about difficult mo-
ments hes faced with his daugh-
ters.
If theyre going to a party, Im
not opposed to calling the par-
ents. I want to talk to them,
Schirripa said. And my daugh-
ters are a little embarrassed by
that, but I say, Listen, if the moth-
er or father wont talk to me,
theres something wrong. Well,
sure enough, my daughter was
going to a party and I said, Im
going to call the mom. I call the
mom, she doesnt call me back,
and I say, Youre not going. This
was a Saturday. On Monday, the
mother called me back and said,
Thank you for allowing her to
come to our party, we had a great
time. She didnt even know.
When the floor was opened to
the audience, most of the ques-
tions were about The Sopranos.
An audience member asked
Schirripa how he found out his
character was going to be killed

2 THE PRINCETON SUN MAY 22-28, 2013
Residents offered chance to see plans
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
At a public meeting May 22,
Princeton residents will have an
opportunity to view and com-
ment on revised plans that devel-
oper AvalonBay has submitted to
the municipality for the former
University Medical Center at
Princeton site on Witherspoon
Street.
Based on design standards,
the Princeton Regional Planning
Board rejected the Washington,
D.C.-based developers original
plans in December. They envi-
sioned a 280-unit apartment
building, which residents and
Planning Board members called
monolithic.
AvalonBay filed suit against
both the municipality and the
Planning Board, appealing to
have the decision overturned.
Last month, all parties involved
in the lawsuit filed consent or-
ders, entering into an agreement
to try to find a compromise out-
side the courtroom.
According to the agreement,
AvalonBay was required to sub-
mit a new proposal by May 15.
After a review period, the Plan-
ning Board will be required to
vote to approve or deny the pro-
posal by Aug. 15.
The public meeting will be
held from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. today
(May 22) in the Community Park
School cafeteria. At the begin-
ning of each hour, representa-
tives of the developer will sum-
marize the new plans and dis-
cuss the process moving for-
ward, and then open the floor to
questions. After the public meet-
ing, the plans will be presented
to the Planning Board.
We thought that before the
plan got to the Planning Board, it
would be a good idea to get this
information out, sooner rather
than later, Administrator Bob
Bruschi said. The public will
get an opportunity to see the
changes and pick AvalonBays
brain.
Bruschi said he has seen a
bare-bones version of the new
plans.
Ive seen an, I guess, rustic
version of the way itll be laid
out, Bruschi said. Theyll show
the properties, what theyll look
like from street level and how
theyll be laid out. Theyll ex-
plain it at a level where people
can clearly understand what
theyre doing. The information
they present will be very user-
friendly.
AvalonBay said the new pro-
posal would address many of the
concerns that were raised by res-
idents and officials regarding the
original plans.
We are very pleased to be
submitting these new plans for
Avalon Princeton, the company
said in a press release. The last
several weeks, we have received
constructive feedback on our re-
vised design from municipal offi-
cials, professionals and citizen
representatives. We have lis-
tened carefully to the issues that
have been raised, and made
changes from our initial design
to accommodate community con-
cerns within the constraints of
the economic and construction
realities surrounding the proj-
ect.
Bruschi said he agreed that
AvalonBay had made an effort to
make constructive changes to
the plan.
Certainly, they have attempt-
ed to address the issues, he said.
To the extent they believe they
can on this site, they have put to-
gether a drastically changed
plan. Hopefully, the community
will see theyve worked hard,
and then were looking at just
fine-tuning. Overall, I think
theyve done a good job of meet-
ing the demands placed on
them.
After a staff review of the
plans, they will go before the
Planning Board, which has
scheduled public hearings on
June 27, July 11, July 18 and July
25.
Bruschi said he is confident
the process will go more smooth-
ly this time.
I can tell you I think we have
a much better plan than we had
before, Bruschi said. From
that standpoint, people need to
be a little optimistic that we have
a good jumping off spot.
Official: Police
department
to be audited
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
Princeton will be hiring a con-
sultant to review the operations
of the police department, Admin-
istrator Bob Bruschi said.
The review, called an audit by
officials, comes in the wake of
several post-consolidation issues
within the department, including
the recent departure of Chief
David Dudeck, who has been on
medical leave since February and
will officially retire Oct. 1.
Were looking for a third party
firm to come in and look at cer-
tain aspects, Bruschi said.
Weve already looked at a lot of
the operational aspects. This is
about improving communication
and dealing with internal issues.
We want to be working with the
departmental leadership this
whole time.
Bruschi said the municipality
has reached out to several nation-
al consulting firms and plans to
meet within the next week to look
at proposals.
Well get proposals for differ-
ent processes, and well talk them
through and see if theyll work
for us, Bruschi said. Weve
called a few people, very rep-
utable national firms, who spe-
cialize in this. Well have more in-
depth discussions moving for-
ward.
Bruschi said the audit should
begin in the middle of next
month.
Id love to get us started as
soon as we can, potentially in the
middle of June, he said. Well
take the summer months, work
our way through and have some-
thing to present to the governing
body by the end of the summer or
early in the fall. This will not be a
long-winded process.
Capt. Nick Sutter, who has
been leading the department
since Dudecks medical leave
began, said he thinks the audit is
a good idea.
Ive been involved in the con-
versation from the beginning,

Dereks Dreams fundraiser set for June 8
Derek was born on Aug. 1, 1997
with beautiful blue eyes and
beautiful strawberry blonde hair.
His older brother, Zack, loved
being an older brother, and, as
time moved along, they became
inseparable. When Derek began
to walk, we noticed that his gait
was different. We were told that
he would eventually grow out of
it and there was no real reason
for concern.
At about 13 months or so, we
thought that he might have a
problem. After a few MRIs and
physical testing, it was deter-
mined that Derek had cerebral
palsy.
Although we wanted every-
thing to be all right, we accepted
his condition and were dedicated
to providing him with a very
good life and creating opportuni-
ties for him while he began a
great deal of physical, occupa-
tional and speech therapy.
As time passed, we noticed
that Dereks balance was getting
worse. Cerebral Palsy is a static
condition. It is not supposed to
get worse. After seeing a number
of neurologists, who could not
identify Dereks balance prob-
lems and fatigue issues, last win-
ter we found ourselves at the
Childrens Hospital of Philadel-
phia. It was here that we learned
about Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-
T). We did some research on A-T
and, with the help of some
friends, we got ourselves to
Johns Hopkins. The largest AT
clinic in the world is at Hopkins,
and we learned here that Derek
has this awful disease.
A-T is a rare genetic, progres-
sive, degenerative disease that af-
fects muscle control and the im-
mune system while creating a
predisposition to cancer. Chil-
dren with A-T develop malignan-
cies almost 1,000 times more fre-
quently than the general popula-
tion.
Breathing problems and swal-
lowing problems are a part of
this disease as well. Due to in-
creased difficulties with his sta-
bility, Derek has already devel-
oped a need to use a wheelchair.
Although he currently does not
need it all of the time, fatigue
caused by the A-T will make him
more dependent on it as this dis-
ease progresses.
Now, with the help of some
wonderful, caring friends, we
have formed Dereks Dreams.
Thanks to our friends who are
helping us through this, money
will be raised to help Derek in all
of his needs as this disease pro-
gresses. Money will also be
raised to help find a cure to this
terrible disease.
Please join us for the Southern
Style Family BBQ to be held in
Princeton on June 8 from 3 p.m.
to 6 p.m. One hundred percent
of the proceeds from the event
will support Dereks Dreams.
Please also consider buying tick-
ets for our Super Bowl XLVIII
raffle!
That's right, Dereks Dreams is
raffling off a pair of Super Bowl
tickets to the 2014 Super Bowl,
which is scheduled to be held on
Sunday Feb. 2, 2014, at Metlife
Stadium in New Jersey. The raf-
fle drawing will be held on June 8
at the Dereks Dreams BBQ. You
need not be present to win.

Sutter said. Im in complete
favor of the audit. I think
its going to be beneficial to the
department, to the governing
body and to the public. I think
its going to provide insight
and transparency thats
needed to make decisions going
forward.
A replacement for Dudeck has
not been named. Discussion at
several meetings of the Princeton
Council has touched on the advis-
ability of creating a civilian po-
lice director position to head the
department.
I think its healthy to explore
all avenues so the right decision
can be made, Sutter said. I will
support whatever the governing
body and the public decide is the
best choice. Im here to follow the
model that they find to be the
best.
Sutter said the department has
struggled as a result of consolida-
tion, but he sees daily improve-
ments.
Im trying to bring some con-
sistency to the department, which
is not easy with all the changes
weve been through, Sutter said.
Weve made tremendous strides
operationally, and we continue to
do so. This is going to be a long
process. Were going to be exam-
ining and re-examining things.
Well find that certain things
work and certain things dont. Im
very open to change. We have to
be very flexible flexibility will
allow us to get to a point where all
our operations are successful.
Were in a position that no other
department in the state has been
in. We are kind of reinventing the
wheel here, but were all on the
same page, and everyone is eager
to make this work.

D
oes anybody remember
much about the Whiskey Re-
bellion of 1791? It was a
three-and-a-half year anti-tax upris-
ing among farmers in western Penn-
sylvania. After much failed diploma-
cy, the rebellion was put down by a
13,000-man militia from four states
under the personal command of
George Washington.
This sorry episode took place dur-
ing the very period that the Bill of
Rights had come into force as the
supreme law of the land. In other
words, the men who wrote and rati-
fied the Second Amendment, many
of them veteran revolutionaries, did
not understand the right to bear
arms to be the constitutional em-
powerment of violent resistance
against the federal government.
When they encountered such resist-
ance, they crushed it. People may
profess a defense of liberty ideolo-
gy about the Second Amendment if
they wish to, but lets be clear as
history, its mostly bunk.
Its no accident, however, that the
right to bear arms precedes every
other civil right enumerated in the
Constitution aside from freedom of
religion, speech, the press, and as-
sembly. The citizens of the new re-
public needed their guns for suste-
nance and self-defense. The new re-
public needed an armed citizenry
for the purposes of a well regulated
militia. Today we call it the Nation-
al Guard.
The Constitutions framers detest-
ed the idea of a standing army in
peacetime. They were nearly unani-
mous in their conviction that a pro-
fessional military establishment
was a threat to the peoples liberty
and the public purse. But they were
concerned, and rightly so, that one
morning they might wake up to find
His Britannic Majestys navy heav-
ing into sight along the coastline. So
they provided for this exigency.
No right is absolute. Freedom of
religion does not entitle parents to
deprive their children of life-saving
medical treatment. Freedom of
speech does not entitle people to
yell fire in a crowded theater. Free-
dom of the press does not extend to
libel. Freedom of assembly does not
invalidate property rights. And the
right to bear arms does not mean
that gun ownership comes with no
strings attached, no regulations, no
restrictions, or that citizens are enti-
tled to their own military-grade ar-
senals.
Theres some irony in the current
gun control imbroglio. One can
argue that the right to bear arms,
then and now, is all about public
safety. Then, the issue was national
survival. Today, the issue is the de-
fense of civil society from random,
senseless violence. While individual
citizens have a right to firearms,
the public has a right to live free
from fear. Thats why we have gov-
ernment, after all, to insure domes-
tic Tranquility, provide for the com-
mon defence, (and) promote the
general Welfare. How we balance
these rights, as times and circum-
stances change, is the challenge be-
fore us.
Providing for the common defence
Balancing our rights as circumstances change is the challenge before us
Gun Violence as a Public Health Issue
The Woodrow Wilson School of Public
and International Affairs at Princeton Uni-
versity will host a policy forum that will
take a broad and nonpartisan look at gun
violence in America as a public health im-
perative.
The Gun Violence as a Public Health
Issue summit will be held on Tuesday,
May 28, from 1 to 5:30 p.m., in Dodds Audi-
torium, Robertson Hall, on the Princeton
University campus.
The New Jersey Health Care Quality In-
stitute and The Childrens Hospital of

enacted some of the toughest gun control
measures in the country.
The forum will feature opening remarks
from Princeton University President
Shirley Tilghman and Steven M.
Altschuler, CEO of The Childrens Hospi-
tal of Philadelphia. They will be followed
by a presentation from David L. Knowlton,
president and CEO of the New Jersey
Health Care Quality Institute, who will
frame the debate in addressing Why We
Are Here.
Knowltons remarks will be followed by
a panel discussion and dialogue address-

Resolution addresses pipeline expansion project
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
The Princeton Council passed
a resolution on May 13 pledging
to protect residents and environ-
mental areas that would be affect-
ed by the proposed Transco
Pipeline expansion project.
The resolution outlined a num-
ber of concerns the Council has
about the proposed project, which
would affect an area about seven
miles long on the Princeton
Ridge. The project would involve
installing a 42-inch diameter nat-
ural gas pipeline adjacent to an
existing pipeline.
The Princeton Council is
deeply concerned that the instal-
lation of the additional pipeline
through the Princeton Ridge as
proposed will result in extensive,
permanent damage to the delicate
environment, complex ecology
and threatened and endangered
species of wildlife of the Prince-
ton Ridge, the resolution reads.
The resolution also mentions
specific concerns about the storm
water absorption capacity of the
Ridge, the possibility of severe
flooding as a result of deforesta-
tion and soil contamination.
The Council believes that
Williams Co., the Oklahoma-
based company that operates the
Transco pipeline, has not consid-
ered the unique geological and
environmental aspects of the
Princeton Ridge while developing
the proposed pipeline alignment,
and has applied standard engi-
neering design practices to an
area that demands extraordinary
planning and sensitive design.
As a result of these concerns,
the council determined to call on
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, the body that must
approve Williams Co.s applica-
tions, to complete a full environ-
mental impact study of the area,
and to make all applications and
supporting documents available
to the public online.
The council is also requesting
that Williams Co. agree that it
will not require the expansion in
any significant way of the cur-
rent right of way through the
Ridge. Williams Co. has previ-
ously raised the possibility of ap-
plying for an expansion of the
current easement.
The council also asked that
Williams Co. attempt to not re-
quire blasting, jack hammering
and removal of extensive
amounts of volcanic rock, boul-
ders and timber.
The council expressed its con-
cern that the blasting of vol-
canic rock that will be required to
clear the trench for the new
pipeline may cause serious dam-
age to the foundations, swimming
pools and septic systems of adja-
cent homes. The combined effect
of the age of the existing pipeline
coupled with the means and
methods required for the installa-
tion of the new pipeline will cre-
ate an unacceptable potential for
a disaster to occur.
The council also said it intends
to apply to become an intervener,
which will give the municipality
the right to take legal action
against the project or Williams
Co.
Administrator Bob Bruschi
said the councils actions are in-
tended to protect residents, who
have expressed opposition to the
project, and to act as a voice for
the community.
What weve pledged to do is
act as advocates for the residents
affected and the community as a
whole, Bruschi said. We may be
able to leverage and get informa-
tion faster than the general pub-
lic. Both sides are going to have to
act under constraints because
there is a standardized federal
process. We can only hope to im-
pact it in a positive way.

In Fiasco Theater's ingenious 'Into the Woods' at McCarter Theatre, Emily Young, left, as Little Red Rid-
inghood, is menaced by Noah Brody, as The Big Bad Wolf.
By MICHAEL REDMAN
The Princeton Sun
McCarter Theatres on a roll,
again. Hard on the heels of a
stunningly eloquent production
of Shakespeares The Winters
Tale, McCarter is presenting
Stephen Sondheims fairy-tale
musical, Into the Woods, as re-
imagined by Fiasco Theater, a
busker-like troupe with a genius
for making virtues out of all ne-
cessities. In this case, how do you
take a well-known show that usu-
ally receives lavish Broadway-
style productions and make it
new as an intimate, up-close-and-
personal experience?
You start by whittling down the
cast to 10 amazingly versatile
players they act, they sing, they
dance, they finesse multiple roles,
they play musical instruments,
they do tricks, theyre quick-
change artists, they work props in
ways both magical and practical,
they do practically everything but
collect tickets and usher people to
their seats and you put them on
a small stage in a small house,
McCarters Berlind.
You abolish the fourth wall.
The audience comes into the the-
ater to find the players milling
around the stage with the same
nonchalance as everybody else in
the house. When its show time,
there are no piped-in announce-
ments about fire exits, cellphones,
etc. Instead, one of the players
steps to the stage lip, greets the
audience, makes the announce-
ments, then everybody on stage
kinds of swirls their way into a
lineup, the music starts, and they
all start singing. Later on, stick
hobbyhorses that two characters
ride during the action are handed
over to the custody of people in
the first row until its time for
them to gallop away. Were all in
this together, you know.
You get rid of the orchestra en-
tirely. Now this is a musical, re-
member. In its place, you put a
moveable upright piano staffed
by the astonishing pianist Matt
Castle, playing from score, who
also does some character work, in
the bargain, and you have the
players add musical lines and ef-
fects here and there, now and
then, by cello, guitar, trumpet, etc.
Some deep thinker once re-
marked that a truly great work of
art cannot be destroyed, no mat-
ter what you do to it; it can only
be transformed. Thats the test of
a masterpiece. Even the worst
performance of Romeo and Juli-
et, for instance, will succeed on
some level. Fiasco Theater, under
the direction of Noah Brody and
Ben Steinfeld, has pulled off this
transformative magic with a
show we thought we all knew. Yes,
Stephen Sondheims music and
lyrics, James Lapines book, can
be done this way, too. In other
words, their little show about
fairy tales makes a much bigger
statement about the human con-
dition than the middle-brow phi-
losophizing it has boiled down
from Bruno Bettelheims The
Uses of Enchantment. Yes,
theres genuine magic here.

Event ended with book signing
in a mob hit in the shows final
season.
Schirripa said David Chase,
the shows creator, visited him at
his home.
It was in February, I think,
Schirripa said. I picked up the
phone and a girl said, Hold for
David. Now, David Chase dont
call me, you know? And he said,
Steve, Im coming over. He came
up, and I opened the door and hes
standing there with this grey
parka on, and a grey complexion,
and he says, I guess you know
why Im here. It was like a real
hit!
Janie Hermann, the librarys
programming librarian, coordi-
nated the event.
Im constantly in contact with
the major publishing houses,
Hermann said. Weve been work-
ing to build a reputation for the li-
brary as a place for nationally
known authors to come and
speak.
Hermann said Touchstone,
Schirripas publisher, reached out
to her.
The more success you have
with getting authors to come and
speak, the easier it is, Hermann
said. Were really having these
great opportunities to have really
well-known, really fantastic au-
thors come and speak to our com-
munity.
Hermann said that in planning
events with authors, she has to be
aware of what the community is
reading, and from whom they will
be interested in hearing. She said
Schirripas talk was a refreshing
change.
This is a community that
loves nonfiction, Hermann said.
This was a bit of a departure.
Usually, our authors are a lot
more academic, and it was good
to mix things up some.
The evening ended with a
book signing. Residents asked
Schirripa to sign Sopranos
memorabilia, too, and took pic-
tures.
This was great, Hermann
said. This was a really enjoyable
evening.

Theres a catch, though, for
people whose interest is primari-
ly or mostly musical. Fiascos
wonderful show doesnt offer
much in the way of musical and
vocal richness, and theyre able to
get away with this because the
Sondheim style is on the dry side,
in any case, with many musical
lines pitched somewhere between
speech and song, what the opera
people call recitative. And a
simple, sing-song style fits such
familiar characters as Cinderella,
Rapunzel, Little Red Riding,
Beanstalk Jack, The Big Bad
Wolf, etc.
I sat there thinking of an inter-
view I saw with Tom Hooper, di-
rector of the big-screen Les Mis-
erables, who said that once it
was decided that the film would
break with Hollywood convention
by having the entire cast sing
with their own voices, he was
faced with a casting decision: Do
we go with actors who can half
sing, or singers who can half act?
Hooper went with the actors, and
so does Fiasco.
There are a few solid voices in
this cast. Everybody else man-
ages just fine, but its story, char-
acter, spectacle and a gushing
stream of stage surprises that put
this production across. Once
again, though, we encounter the
American stages slow but steady
musical impoverishment. This
isnt Fiascos fault.
See this show. Its three hours
of outstanding theater, and the
shows basic message be careful
what you wish for, be kind, be
gentle never grows old. Into the
Woods runs through June 9,
www.mccarter.org.
Meanwhile, file this under Bet-
ter Late Than Never: Shooting is
expected to begin in London in
September of a film version of
Into the Woods, to be directed
by Rob Marshall for Walt Disney
Pictures.
Announced casting has Meryl
Streep as The Witch, Johnny
Depp as The Wolf, and James Cor-
den as The Baker, and the buzz
out there has Chris Pine and Jake
Gyllenhaal as The Princes and
Jewel in the running for Cinderel-
la. Its being reported that James
Lapine has derived a two-hour
screenplay from his script, and
that Sondheim may be contribut-
ing a new song or two. Away we
go.

The YWCA Princeton will host


the Ninth Annual ETS Firecrack-
er 5K Run/Walk on Tuesday
evening, June 25. Runners, walk-
ers, families, and corporate or or-
ganizational teams looking for a
charity race need to look no fur-
ther. The race is a USATF-certi-
fied course and a sanctioned
event. It is a USATF-NJ Grand
Prix event worth 500 points. Com-
puScore results will be available
online or mailed upon request.
Proceeds from the event support
YWCA Princeton's Bilingual
Nursery School. The goal of this
program is to provide non-Eng-
lish speaking preschool children
the tools they need to enter school
on par with their English-speak-
ing peers. The Bilingual Nursery
School is just one of several
YWCA Princeton programs that
advance our mission of eliminat-
ing racism and empowering
women by giving women and
families a safe haven where diver-
sity is embraced.
This 5K event is timed perfect-
ly as school will be out, and the
sunset will be late! Participants
will enjoy a slightly hilly course
contained within the beautiful
grounds of ETS. Water stops will
be placed conveniently along the
way.
First-, second-, and third-place
medals will be awarded to win-
ners in age-group categories in
five-year increments through 80+.
Winning corporate and organiza-
tional teams will receive special
recognition in the post-race
award ceremony. Participants
who register early will receive T-
shirts and towels, while they last.
On hand for this festive occasion
will be lively music (courtesy of
Sound Choice DJs), refreshments,
raffles, and family activities.
Early registration is highly rec-
ommended. There are two ways
to register early- download a race
form at

nant Hall located at the corner of

Ample parking will be available.
Cost to register is $25 on race day
and $20 if pre-registered by June
19. Sponsorship opportunities are
still available for businesses wish-
ing to support a worthy family-
friendly, community event. Please
consider donating financial sup-
port, or contributing products
and/or services.
Running/walking not your
thing? There are other ways you

runners and walkers, and volun-
teering to help the day of the
event? More than 500 participants
are expected to take part in this
popular event and fundraiser that
benefits those right here in our
community. Supporters will be
needed to help, staff the water
stops and food tables, provide
parking and traffic assistance,
post signs to the race, and provide
a variety of other essential duties
and projects. To become a sup-
porter or sponsor or for more in-
formation, please contact the

For over 100 years conventional salt-based water softeners have stripped out healthy
minerals like calcium and magnesium from water to prevent scale. While effective, salt-based
water softeners have many undesirable side effects including: hauling heavy salt bags, briny
taste, slimy-feeling showers, health concerns, and flushing thousands of gallons
of salty waste water into our sewers and our environment.
A temporary traffic signal is
being installed at the intersection
of College Road and University
Place for use over the next year
when construction detours are in
effect for Princeton University's
Arts and Transit Project.
The installation and testing of
the temporary traffic signal will
take approximately two weeks.
During this time there may be in-
termittent traffic delays at this in-
tersection, primarily during off-
peak hours, due to the need to
construct the signal in and over
the roadway. Police will be at the
site during work hours to main-
tain an orderly traffic pattern.
The signal is related to the Arts
and Transit Project, which in-
cludes a new Wawa convenience
store and new Dinky train station
for the NJ TRANSIT train that
runs between Princeton and
Princeton Junction. The project
also includes three new campus
arts buildings and renovation of
the rail station buildings for a
caf and restaurant.
This temporary traffic signal
will be in place from May 2013
until about February 2014. It will
only be activated when detours
are in effect for construction on
Alexander Street (between Uni-
versity Place and College Road)
and University Place.
More information about the
project can be found on the Arts
and Transit Project website,

sit.

Free ask-a-lawyer program set for June 5
The Latin American Task
Force and the Princeton Public
Library will host a free ask-a-
lawyer program in English and
Spanish June 5.
Free legal advice on immigra-
tion issues, as well as general
legal questions, will be offered to
all interested people on Wednes-
day, June 5, from 7 8:30 p.m., in
the second floor Conference
Room at the Princeton Public Li-
brary, 65 Witherspoon Street,
Princeton.
This program is offered four
times every year by the Latin
American Task Force of Prince-
ton. Local lawyers volunteer their
time to provide individual private
consultations. Though not defini-
tive legal consultations, they offer
an opportunity for a brief review
of current applicable law or to get
a second opinion.
The Ask-a-Lawyer Program is
co-sponsored by the Latin Ameri-
can Task Force, the Princeton
Public Library, the Housing Au-
thority of the Borough of Prince-
ton and the Mercer County Bar
Association.

Municipal tax rate could
potentially decrease
Citizens Finance Advisory
Committee representative Scott
Sillars told the Princeton Council
on May 13 that the committee was
recommending an additional 1
percent decrease in the municipal
tax rate. The decrease would be a
result of an additional surplus in
the post-consolidation budget.
The $61 million proposed budget
is $3 million less than the com-
bined township and borough
budgets last year. Council mem-
bers cautioned that a further de-
crease should be carefully consid-
ered, as state reimbursement of
consolidation costs have not yet
been finalized or received.
New conflict of interest
policy is agreed upon
The Princeton Council passed
a resolution on May 13 accepting
a new conflict of interest policy.
The policy dictates the new proce-
dure by which council members
will determine whether they have
a personal conflict of interest re-
garding an issue, and need to re-
cuse themselves. The new policy
may affect decisions made by the
council regarding Princeton Uni-
versity, as several Council mem-
bers have ties to the school. Coun-
cilwoman Heather Howard is a
professor in the universitys
Woodrow Wilson School, and
Mayor Liz Lemperts husband is a
tenured university professor. The
conflict of interest policy will go
into effect immediately.
Board to interview
to fill vacant seat
The Princeton School Board
will interview candidates to fill
the vacant seat of Dorothy Bed-
ford in public session on May 22.
The board originally announced
that the meetings would be closed
to the public, but reversed the de-
cision after public outcry. The
meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in
the administration building on
Valley Road. Once the public in-
terviews are complete, the board
will enter closed session to delib-
erate. No action will be taken on
May 22, but the board aims to
name Bedfords replacement by
May 28. Her resignation is effec-
tive May 31. The chosen replace-
ment will fill the rest of Bedfords
term, set to expire in January
2014. Candidates for the position
so far are Adam G. Bierman,
Anne Burns, Robert Hebditch
and Meeta Khatri.
State allocation
under review by ACLU
The state chapter of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union and the
office of Gov. Chris Christie are
reviewing the Christie adminis-
trations plans to allocate more
than $600,000 in taxpayer dollars
to the Princeton Theological Sem-
inary. The seminary requested
the money for technological im-
provements, but concerns were
raised by taxpayers regarding a
separation of church and state
issue raised by the allocation.
The ACLU has filed public
records requests to see the admin-
istrations process, allocation
guidelines, and the Seminarys
application.
