    Sopranos star speaks at library eventBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    Author and actor Steve Schirri-

    pa, best known for his long-timerole on the HBO series The So-pranos, spoke to a crowd ofabout 60 at the Princeton PublicLibrary on May 15.

    Schirripa, a New York Timesbestselling author, is promotinghis newest book, Big DaddysRules: Raising Daughters isTougher than I Look (Touch-stone, 2013). Jeff Edelstein,columnist for The Trentonian,conducted an interview withSchirripa before the author tookquestions from the audience.

    Schirripa said his own parent-ing style isnt much differentfrom that of his Sopranos char-acter, Bobby Baccala Bac-calieri.

    Well, Bobby was a loving fa-ther, Schirripa said. He reallycared. I think Bobby was a reallygood father. He cared about thosekids.

    Schirripas book is a humorouslook at parenting, based on his ex-

    perience raising two daughters.The book encourages fathers toreturn to commonsense parent-ing and reclaim their role as pro-tector and holder of values to bepassed down.

    Schirripa shared stories withthe audience about difficult mo-ments hes faced with his daugh-ters.

    If theyre going to a party, Imnot opposed to calling the par-

    ents. I want to talk to them,Schirripa said. And my daugh-ters are a little embarrassed bythat, but I say, Listen, if the moth-er or father wont talk to me,theres something wrong. Well,sure enough, my daughter wasgoing to a party and I said, Im

    going to call the mom. I call themom, she doesnt call me back,and I say, Youre not going. Thiswas a Saturday. On Monday, themother called me back and said,Thank you for allowing her tocome to our party, we had a greattime. She didnt even know.

    When the floor was opened tothe audience, most of the ques-tions were about The Sopranos.An audience member askedSchirripa how he found out hischaracter was going to be killed

    2 THE PRINCETON SUN MAY 22-28, 2013

    Residents offered chance to see plans

    By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    At a public meeting May 22,Princeton residents will have anopportunity to view and com-ment on revised plans that devel-oper AvalonBay has submitted tothe municipality for the formerUniversity Medical Center at

    Princeton site on WitherspoonStreet.

    Based on design standards,the Princeton Regional PlanningBoard rejected the Washington,D.C.-based developers originalplans in December. They envi-sioned a 280-unit apartmentbuilding, which residents andPlanning Board members calledmonolithic.

    AvalonBay filed suit againstboth the municipality and thePlanning Board, appealing tohave the decision overturned.Last month, all parties involved

    in the lawsuit filed consent or-ders, entering into an agreementto 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 tovote to approve or deny the pro-posal by Aug. 15.

    The public meeting will beheld from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. today(May 22) in the Community ParkSchool 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 toquestions. After the public meet-ing, the plans will be presentedto the Planning Board.

    We thought that before theplan got to the Planning Board, itwould be a good idea to get thisinformation out, sooner ratherthan later, Administrator BobBruschi said. The public willget an opportunity to see thechanges and pick AvalonBaysbrain.

    Bruschi said he has seen a

    bare-bones version of the newplans.

    Ive seen an, I guess, rusticversion of the way itll be laidout, Bruschi said. Theyll showthe properties, what theyll looklike from street level and howtheyll be laid out. Theyll ex-plain it at a level where peoplecan clearly understand whattheyre doing. The informationthey present will be very user-friendly.

    AvalonBay said the new pro-posal would address many of theconcerns that were raised by res-idents and officials regarding the

    original plans.We are very pleased to be

    submitting these new plans forAvalon Princeton, the companysaid in a press release. The lastseveral weeks, we have receivedconstructive feedback on our re-vised design from municipal offi-cials, professionals and citizenrepresentatives. We have lis-tened carefully to the issues thathave been raised, and madechanges from our initial designto accommodate community con-cerns within the constraints ofthe economic and construction

    realities surrounding the proj-ect.

    Bruschi said he agreed thatAvalonBay had made an effort tomake constructive changes tothe plan.

    Certainly, they have attempt-ed to address the issues, he said.To the extent they believe theycan on this site, they have put to-gether a drastically changedplan. Hopefully, the communitywill see theyve worked hard,and then were looking at justfine-tuning. Overall, I thinktheyve done a good job of meet-ing the demands placed on

    them.After a staff review of the

    plans, they will go before thePlanning Board, which hasscheduled public hearings onJune 27, July 11, July 18 and July25.

    Bruschi said he is confidentthe process will go more smooth-ly this time.

    I can tell you I think we havea much better plan than we hadbefore, Bruschi said. Fromthat standpoint, people need tobe a little optimistic that we havea good jumping off spot.

    Official: Policedepartment

    to be auditedBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    Princeton will be hiring a con-sultant to review the operationsof the police department, Admin-istrator Bob Bruschi said.

    The review, called an audit byofficials, comes in the wake ofseveral post-consolidation issueswithin the department, includingthe recent departure of ChiefDavid Dudeck, who has been on

    medical leave since February andwill officially retire Oct. 1.

    Were looking for a third partyfirm to come in and look at cer-tain aspects, Bruschi said.Weve already looked at a lot ofthe operational aspects. This isabout improving communicationand dealing with internal issues.We want to be working with thedepartmental leadership thiswhole time.

    Bruschi said the municipalityhas reached out to several nation-al consulting firms and plans tomeet within the next week to lookat proposals.

    Well get proposals for differ-ent processes, and well talk themthrough and see if theyll workfor us, Bruschi said. Wevecalled 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 nextmonth.

    Id love to get us started assoon as we can, potentially in themiddle of June, he said. Welltake the summer months, workour way through and have some-thing to present to the governingbody by the end of the summer orearly in the fall. This will not be along-winded process.

    Capt. Nick Sutter, who hasbeen leading the departmentsince Dudecks medical leave

    began, said he thinks the audit isa good idea.

    Ive been involved in the con-versation from the beginning,

    Developers planswill be availableat public meeting

    Dereks Dreams fundraiser set for June 8Derek was born on Aug. 1, 1997

    with beautiful blue eyes andbeautiful strawberry blonde hair.His older brother, Zack, loved

    being an older brother, and, astime moved along, they becameinseparable. When Derek beganto walk, we noticed that his gaitwas different. We were told thathe would eventually grow out ofit and there was no real reasonfor concern.

    At about 13 months or so, wethought that he might have aproblem. After a few MRIs andphysical testing, it was deter-mined that Derek had cerebralpalsy.

    Although we wanted every-thing to be all right, we acceptedhis condition and were dedicatedto providing him with a verygood life and creating opportuni-ties for him while he began a

    great deal of physical, occupa-tional and speech therapy.

    As time passed, we noticedthat Dereks balance was getting

    worse. Cerebral Palsy is a staticcondition. It is not supposed toget worse. After seeing a numberof neurologists, who could notidentify Dereks balance prob-lems and fatigue issues, last win-ter we found ourselves at theChildrens Hospital of Philadel-phia. It was here that we learnedabout Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T). We did some research on A-Tand, with the help of somefriends, we got ourselves toJohns Hopkins. The largest AT

    clinic in the world is at Hopkins,and we learned here that Derekhas 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 apredisposition 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 ofthis 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 notneed it all of the time, fatiguecaused by the A-T will make himmore dependent on it as this dis-ease progresses.

    Now, with the help of some

    wonderful, caring friends, wehave formed Dereks Dreams.Thanks to our friends who arehelping us through this, moneywill be raised to help Derek in allof his needs as this disease pro-

    gresses. Money will also beraised to help find a cure to thisterrible disease.

    Please join us for the Southern

    Style Family BBQ to be held inPrinceton on June 8 from 3 p.m.to 6 p.m. One hundred percentof the proceeds from the eventwill support Dereks Dreams.Please also consider buying tick-ets for our Super Bowl XLVIIIraffle!

    That's right, Dereks Dreams israffling off a pair of Super Bowltickets to the 2014 Super Bowl,which is scheduled to be held onSunday Feb. 2, 2014, at MetlifeStadium in New Jersey. The raf-

    fle drawing will be held on June 8at the Dereks Dreams BBQ. Youneed not be present to win.

    Sutter said. Im in completefavor of the audit. I thinkits going to be beneficial to thedepartment, to the governingbody and to the public. I thinkits going to provide insightand transparency thatsneeded to make decisions goingforward.

    A replacement for Dudeck has

    not been named. Discussion atseveral meetings of the PrincetonCouncil has touched on the advis-ability of creating a civilian po-lice director position to head thedepartment.

    I think its healthy to exploreall avenues so the right decisioncan be made, Sutter said. I willsupport whatever the governingbody and the public decide is thebest choice. Im here to follow the

    model that they find to be thebest.

    Sutter said the department hasstruggled as a result of consolida-tion, but he sees daily improve-ments.

    Im trying to bring some con-sistency to the department, whichis not easy with all the changesweve been through, Sutter said.Weve made tremendous stridesoperationally, and we continue todo so. This is going to be a longprocess. Were going to be exam-ining and re-examining things.

    Well find that certain thingswork and certain things dont. Imvery open to change. We have tobe very flexible flexibility willallow us to get to a point where allour operations are successful.Were in a position that no otherdepartment in the state has beenin. We are kind of reinventing thewheel here, but were all on thesame page, and everyone is eagerto make this work.

    Does 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 beararms 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 wereconcerned, 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 ofspeech 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 individualcitizens 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 defenceBalancing our rights as circumstances change is the challenge before us

    Gun Violence as a Public Health IssueThe Woodrow Wilson School of Public

    and International Affairs at Princeton Uni-versity will host a policy forum that willtake a broad and nonpartisan look at gunviolence in America as a public health im-perative.

    The Gun Violence as a Public HealthIssue summit will be held on Tuesday,May 28, from 1 to 5:30 p.m., in Dodds Audi-torium, Robertson Hall, on the PrincetonUniversity campus.

    enacted some of the toughest gun controlmeasures in the country.

    The forum will feature opening remarksfrom Princeton University President

    Shirley Tilghman and Steven M.Altschuler, CEO of The Childrens Hospi-tal of Philadelphia. They will be followedby a presentation from David L. Knowlton,president and CEO of the New JerseyHealth Care Quality Institute, who will

    MAY 22-28, 2013 THE PRINCETON SUN 7

    Resolution addresses pipeline expansion projectBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    The Princeton Council passed

    a resolution on May 13 pledgingto protect residents and environ-mental areas that would be affect-ed by the proposed TranscoPipeline expansion project.

    The resolution outlined a num-ber of concerns the Council hasabout the proposed project, whichwould affect an area about sevenmiles long on the PrincetonRidge. The project would involveinstalling a 42-inch diameter nat-ural gas pipeline adjacent to an

    existing pipeline.The Princeton Council isdeeply concerned that the instal-lation of the additional pipelinethrough the Princeton Ridge asproposed will result in extensive,permanent damage to the delicateenvironment, complex ecologyand threatened and endangeredspecies of wildlife of the Prince-ton Ridge, the resolution reads.

    The resolution also mentionsspecific concerns about the stormwater absorption capacity of theRidge, the possibility of severe

    flooding as a result of deforesta-tion and soil contamination.

    The Council believes thatWilliams Co., the Oklahoma-based company that operates theTransco pipeline, has not consid-ered the unique geological andenvironmental aspects of thePrinceton Ridge while developingthe proposed pipeline alignment,and has applied standard engi-neering design practices to anarea that demands extraordinary

    planning and sensitive design.As a result of these concerns,the council determined to call onthe Federal Energy RegulatoryCommission, the body that mustapprove Williams Co.s applica-tions, to complete a full environ-mental impact study of the area,and to make all applications andsupporting documents availableto the public online.

    The council is also requestingthat Williams Co. agree that itwill not require the expansion inany significant way of the cur-

    rent right of way through theRidge. Williams Co. has previ-ously raised the possibility of ap-plying for an expansion of thecurrent easement.

    The council also asked thatWilliams Co. attempt to not re-quire blasting, jack hammeringand removal of extensiveamounts of volcanic rock, boul-ders and timber.

    The council expressed its con-cern that the blasting of vol-

    canic rock that will be required toclear the trench for the newpipeline may cause serious dam-age to the foundations, swimmingpools and septic systems of adja-cent homes. The combined effectof the age of the existing pipelinecoupled with the means andmethods 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 actionagainst the project or WilliamsCo.

    Administrator Bob Bruschisaid the councils actions are in-tended to protect residents, whohave expressed opposition to theproject, and to act as a voice for

    the community.What weve pledged to do is

    act as advocates for the residentsaffected and the community as a

    whole, Bruschi said. We may beable to leverage and get informa-tion faster than the general pub-lic. Both sides are going to have toact under constraints becausethere is a standardized federalprocess. 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 REDMANThe Princeton Sun

    McCarter Theatres on a roll,again. Hard on the heels of astunningly eloquent productionof Shakespeares The WintersTale, McCarter is presentingStephen Sondheims fairy-talemusical, Into the Woods, as re-imagined by Fiasco Theater, abusker-like troupe with a geniusfor making virtues out of all ne-cessities. In this case, how do youtake a well-known show that usu-ally receives lavish Broadway-style productions and make itnew as an intimate, up-close-and-personal experience?

    You start by whittling down thecast to 10 amazingly versatileplayers they act, they sing, theydance, they finesse multiple roles,they play musical instruments,they do tricks, theyre quick-

    change artists, they work props inways both magical and practical,they do practically everything butcollect tickets and usher people totheir seats and you put them ona small stage in a small house,

    McCarters Berlind.You abolish the fourth wall.

    The audience comes into the the-ater to find the players millingaround the stage with the samenonchalance as everybody else inthe house. When its show time,there are no piped-in announce-ments about fire exits, cellphones,etc. Instead, one of the playerssteps to the stage lip, greets theaudience, makes the announce-ments, then everybody on stagekinds of swirls their way into alineup, the music starts, and theyall start singing. Later on, stickhobbyhorses that two charactersride during the action are handedover to the custody of people inthe first row until its time forthem to gallop away. Were all inthis together, you know.

    You get rid of the orchestra en-tirely. Now this is a musical, re-member. In its place, you put amoveable upright piano staffedby the astonishing pianist MattCastle, playing from score, who

    also does some character work, inthe bargain, and you have theplayers add musical lines and ef-fects here and there, now andthen, by cello, guitar, trumpet, etc.

    Some deep thinker once re-marked that a truly great work ofart cannot be destroyed, no mat-ter what you do to it; it can onlybe transformed. Thats the test ofa masterpiece. Even the worstperformance of Romeo and Juli-et, for instance, will succeed onsome level. Fiasco Theater, underthe direction of Noah Brody andBen Steinfeld, has pulled off thistransformative magic with ashow we thought we all knew. Yes,Stephen Sondheims music andlyrics, James Lapines book, canbe done this way, too. In otherwords, their little show aboutfairy tales makes a much biggerstatement about the human con-dition than the middle-brow phi-

    losophizing it has boiled downfrom Bruno Bettelheims TheUses of Enchantment. Yes,theres genuine magic here.

    Event ended with book signing

    in a mob hit in the shows finalseason.

    Schirripa said David Chase,the shows creator, visited him athis home.

    It was in February, I think,Schirripa said. I picked up thephone and a girl said, Hold forDavid. Now, David Chase dontcall me, you know? And he said,Steve, Im coming over. He cameup, and I opened the door and hes

    standing there with this greyparka on, and a grey complexion,and he says, I guess you knowwhy Im here. It was like a realhit!

    Janie Hermann, the librarysprogramming librarian, coordi-nated the event.

    Im constantly in contact withthe major publishing houses,Hermann said. Weve been work-ing to build a reputation for the li-brary as a place for nationallyknown authors to come and

    speak.Hermann said Touchstone,

    Schirripas publisher, reached outto her.

    The more success you havewith getting authors to come andspeak, the easier it is, Hermannsaid. Were really having thesegreat opportunities to have reallywell-known, really fantastic au-thors come and speak to our com-

    munity.Hermann said that in planning

    events with authors, she has to beaware of what the community isreading, and from whom they willbe interested in hearing. She saidSchirripas talk was a refreshingchange.

    This is a community thatloves nonfiction, Hermann said.This was a bit of a departure.

    Usually, our authors are a lotmore academic, and it was goodto mix things up some.

    The evening ended with abook signing. Residents askedSchirripa to sign Sopranosmemorabilia, too, and took pic-tures.

    This was great, Hermannsaid. This was a really enjoyableevening.

    Theres a catch, though, forpeople whose interest is primari-ly or mostly musical. Fiascoswonderful show doesnt offermuch in the way of musical andvocal richness, and theyre able toget away with this because theSondheim style is on the dry side,in any case, with many musicallines pitched somewhere betweenspeech and song, what the operapeople call recitative. And asimple, sing-song style fits suchfamiliar characters as Cinderella,Rapunzel, Little Red Riding,Beanstalk Jack, The Big BadWolf, 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 itwas decided that the film wouldbreak with Hollywood conventionby having the entire cast singwith their own voices, he wasfaced with a casting decision: Dowe go with actors who can halfsing, or singers who can half act?Hooper went with the actors, andso does Fiasco.

    There are a few solid voices inthis cast. Everybody else man-ages just fine, but its story, char-acter, spectacle and a gushingstream of stage surprises that putthis production across. Onceagain, though, we encounter theAmerican stages slow but steadymusical impoverishment. Thisisnt Fiascos fault.

    See this show. Its three hoursof outstanding theater, and theshows basic message be careful

    what you wish for, be kind, begentle never grows old. Into theWoods runs through June 9,www.mccarter.org.

    Meanwhile, file this under Bet-ter Late Than Never: Shooting isexpected to begin in London inSeptember of a film version ofInto the Woods, to be directedby Rob Marshall for Walt DisneyPictures.

    Announced casting has MerylStreep as The Witch, JohnnyDepp as The Wolf, and James Cor-den as The Baker, and the buzzout there has Chris Pine and JakeGyllenhaal as The Princes andJewel in the running for Cinderel-la. Its being reported that JamesLapine has derived a two-hourscreenplay from his script, andthat Sondheim may be contribut-ing a new song or two. Away wego.

    The installation and testing ofthe temporary traffic signal willtake 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

    The signal is related to the Arts

    and Transit Project, which in-cludes a new Wawa conveniencestore and new Dinky train stationfor the NJ TRANSIT train thatruns between Princeton andPrinceton Junction. The projectalso includes three new campusarts buildings and renovation ofthe rail station buildings for a

    caf and restaurant.This temporary traffic signal

    will be in place from May 2013until about February 2014. It willonly be activated when detours

    are in effect for construction onAlexander Street (between Uni-versity Place and College Road)and University Place.

The decrease would be aresult of an additional surplus inthe post-consolidation budget.The $61 million proposed budgetis $3 million less than the com-bined township and boroughbudgets last year. Council mem-

    bers cautioned that a further de-crease should be carefully consid-ered, as state reimbursement ofconsolidation costs have not yetbeen finalized or received.

    New conflict of interestpolicy is agreed uponThe Princeton Council passed

    a resolution on May 13 acceptinga new conflict of interest policy.The policy dictates the new proce-

    dure by which council memberswill determine whether they havea personal conflict of interest re-garding an issue, and need to re-cuse themselves. The new policymay affect decisions made by thecouncil regarding Princeton Uni-versity, as several Council mem-bers have ties to the school. Coun-cilwoman Heather Howard is aprofessor in the universitysWoodrow Wilson School, andMayor Liz Lemperts husband is atenured university professor. The

    conflict of interest policy will gointo ef fect immediately.
