After working in laborious con-ditions after his schooling, Nar-vaez felt it his calling to help soci-
ety not only those who had im-migrated such as himself, butalso young men and women whoface the challenges of everydaylife. He had the impetus to make adifference, committed himself tolaw enforcement and has been ful-filling his personal mission since.

Price making the leap to PDSBy ERICA CHAYES
The Sun
Rene Charity Price developedan affinity for Princeton in theearly 90s when she came to watchher brother play football at theuniversity. On long road tripsfrom Virginia to New EnglandIvy towns, Price always consid-ered Princeton her favorite, andnot just because of familial alle-giance. After dodging a career asa civil rights attorney and in-
dulging her hunger to educateand be educated, Price is finallyreturning to Princeton in July bringing her husband, Mike, andtwo children, Carter, 6, and Caro-line, 3 with her as the new headof middle school at Princeton DaySchool.
Ms. Price is replacing SteveHancock, who was previous headof middle school and assistanthead of school for academic lead-ership at Princeton Day School.During this academic year, AlesiaKlein has been serving as interimhead of middle school, saidKathryn Rosko, PDS director ofcommunications. Ms. Price waschosen from among nearly 70 can-didates including dozens of sit-ting middle school heads and ahandful of heads of school whovied for this position. After meet-ing with faculty, staff, parents andstudents, Ms. Price emerged asthe top candidate, and we arethrilled that she will be joining
Princeton Day School this sum-
mer.Making the leap, as Price
called it, into a position she hasnot yet tread upon, is another op-portunity for the young and inno-vative educator to apply the con-cept that has always motivatedher in the classroom.
As a teacher, you want to seechildren grow throughout theyear exploring and evolvinginto their best selves, Price said.In this position, I will be able towatch and encourage adults and
teachers to grow throughout theyear. I will be able to have moreinfluence working with facultyand therefore impact more chil-dren.
Price has been teaching for 14years, technically. Her first expe-rience as an educator came at theage of 13 through a volunteer pro-gram at her alma mater and cur-rent employer, Saint Catherinesin Virginia.
It was then that she fell in lovewith teaching; those memoriesresurfaced as she studied for theLSATs and pointed her back inthe direction of academia.
Word of the opportunity to joinPDS came through an old class-mate, Paris McLean, who attend-ed Columbia University TeachersCollege with Price. Price saidMcLean, a PDS faculty memberand alumna, was a wonderful am-bassador of the school and right-fully so. Price researched theschool and continued to learn of
its many strengths during an ap-
propriately rigorous interviewprocess. Drawing from her back-ground, she asked a lot of ques-tions and found that PDS pos-sessed many of the qualities sherespected and exemplified in pri-vate education.
For me, the motive behind ed-ucation is to help prepare stu-dents for lives of extraordinarypurpose. In my opinion, there areextraordinary things happeningat Princeton Day School everyday sustainability, technologicalintegration, health and wellness
initiatives its on the cutting
edge while drawing from rich tra-dition and a strong alumni base,Price said. My goal is to sustainthat ethos and at the same pushthe needle forward.
Price is the daughter of South-ern parents who had the best ac-cess to education as best as itcould have been given the limita-tions of segregation at the time,Price said.
Understanding her parentsbackground, Price noted, has alsocontributed to her academic pur-suits and dedication to helping
others learn.
From an airport Applebeeswhere Price took the interviewcall for this story, Price describedher own independent educationblissfully unphased by flightdelay frenzy. Prices parents wereable to give her the opportunity tolearn in a private setting whereshe feels change occurs more rap-idly.
I am more alive with an inde-pendent school model, Price saidexcitedly she taught in the pub-lic sector for three years before
making the switch to the clay sheherself had been molded from: St.Catherines.
During her nine years in theclassroom, Price taught everygrade level from five througheight in subjects ranging fromtheatrical production to history.This year, she is on sabbaticalwriting a book with the workingtitle, A History of the ChurchSchools in the Diocese of Vir-ginia, Vol. 2, 1950-2015, whichdocuments various schoolsowned by the Episcopal Dioceseof Virginia and their socio-politi-cal climates and histories, St.Catherines included.
Honestly, I am a restlessmind, Price said. I always wantto learn something.
Price feels Princeton DaySchool is a wonderful fit for herwith its Renaissance kids andRenaissance faculty who willcontinue to inspire her task tomodel that mentality, support it,
and continue to move it forward.

Hackathons are in Princetons futureBy ERICA CHAYES
The Sun
In a tech-savvy town where, ac-cording to Mayor Liz Lempert,there is no shortage of super
smart people, it is only a matterof time before hacking becomes acommunity competition.Hackathons, an event wheretechies of all ages, occupationsand experience levels come out to
create a program or application,are becoming increasingly popu-lar in this Internet-friendly orperhaps Internet-obsessed socie-ty.
Princeton University has been
hosting multi-day Hackathons,called Hack Princeton, withcorporate sponsorships and
judges, such as Lempert, who ob-serve teams from various nation-al and Canadian universities and
offer prizes to winning partici-pants. Lempert, along with JanieHermann, Princeton Public Li-brarys public programming li-brarian, Robert McQueen, chiefinformation officer for the munic-
ipalitys Information TechnologyDepartment, as well as represen-tatives from Tiger Labs, Prince-ton Tech Meetup and a studentfrom Hack Princeton gathered re-cently to plan a Hackathon for
Princetonians.The idea is to have a more
community-oriented Hackathonwhere the challenge would be tocome up with applications andprograms that could be used to
help the municipality do a betterjob at delivering services or tohelp the community in otherways, Lempert said. Part of themotivation is to facilitate an ideathat can be transformed into a
useful product. Also, to get peopleengaged in issues confronting thetown, have fun and think togetherin groups.
Lempert said the initial meet-ing was to work out logistics and
determine the interest from com-munity members and sponsors.There was no date settled on, butLempert is excited to put some-

ew Jerseys youth and young
adults outpace their counter-
parts in the country in a lot of
key measurables. They graduate high
school at high rates; more of them
earn at least a bachelors degree; and
they make more money, on average.
But New Jerseys young adults alsooutpace the rest of the country in
their demographic in two odd cate-
gories more of them stay single, hav-
ing never married, and more live at
home with their parents.
Two reports released last week
painted this confusing, and somewhat
troubling, picture of our states youth.
First, the Department of Education
released data that the states high
school graduation rate rose to 88.6 per-
cent in 2014, up from 87.5 percent in
2013 and 86.5 percent in 2012. Thats
great news.
Then, the U.S. Census Bureau re-
leased data on each states 18- to 34-
year-old demographic. Almost 30 per-
cent of New Jerseys young adults
hold a bachelors degree, compared to
22 percent for the rest of the country,
and up from 19 percent in 1980. They
have a median income around $41,000
(compared to around $34,000 national-
ly). But 71.1 percent of this demo-
graphic has never been married (65.9
percent nationally) and 40.5 percent
(30.3 percent nationally) still live with
their parents. Furthermore, while the
median income is higher than the rest
of the country, when adjusted for infla-
tion, its actually $4,000 less than it
was in 1990.
All of this data can be attributed, in
large part, to the Great Recession and
the states high cost of living. Our
countrys economy changed dramati-
cally a few years ago, and while its
better now, it still isnt back to full
power.
So what can we do about this? It
might seem like were playing a bro-
ken record, but New Jerseys govern-ment needs to find ways to make it eas-
ier, and more affordable, for our young
adults to live and work in our state.
Its tough to get a job in New Jersey,
even though there is plenty of busi-
ness here, and its even tougher to find
affordable living. The cost of renting
is high, and while it is a good time to
buy a home, its a tough thing for a sin-
gle, young adult to do.
If we dont find a way to change the
outlook for our youth, well soon find
that they will look elsewhere for bet-
ter, and more affordable, opportuni-
ties. And losing residents, especially
from that demographic, would not be
good.
A lose-lose forour young adultsSometroubling statistics about our states youth were released last week

The culture of agingBy ERICA CHAYES
The Sun
Princeton Senior Resource Center col-laborates with the Princeton Public Li-brary regularly to encourage those ap-proaching the next stage of life to be OKwith it. With Princeton Baby Boomers clos-
ing in on retirement, and a majority of thepopulation hitting their 60s, facing theaging process is becoming a significantevent in many lives.
Debra Lambo, a 62-year-old licensedtherapist and volunteer at Princeton Re-
source Center, and Lillian Israel, a 66-year-old professional singer and actress, recent-ly joined forces to lead a November talk atthe library called Mindful Aging, part ofthe PSRCs Next Step series.
Mindful Aging addressed what its titleencapsulates. The talk explored attendeesown beliefs and assumptions about grow-
ing old. Israel dove into slideshows and im-ages Lambo praised her comrade on hergreat visual tactics and artistry revealingvarious cultural stereotypes and expecta-tions. Lambo, having her degree in clinicalsocial work, opened a dialogue between
participants having them compare theirown experiences to these sometimes unre-alistic standards.
We live in a consumer culture that al-ways has to be selling us something,Lambo said. If its not youth, its beauty.This workshop is not saying you alwayshave to be content in your old age, but
about finding out what you want to be, andhow you want to live during this last stageof life. Its different for everybody.

thing together for 2015 creatinga recurring multi-generationalevent. She and the other hackershope to garner attention from
high school and university stu-dents, professors, professionals,members from Princeton TechMeetup and other Princeton resi-dents.
There are so many great ideasin this community, Lempertsaid. We should be using all thatenergy and talent to make ourgovernment more innovative andresponsive.
According to Lempert,Hackathons came about after hertime as a programmer, so she will
not be competing when the eventis launched. She is, however, in-volved in creating possible proj-ects that might be assigned to
Hackathon participants. Some po-tential projects include a parkingapp that could help identify anempty parking spot. This wouldsave drivers time from circlingaround and might be an answerto inconveniences not only inPrinceton but also in any citywith street parking.
Another concept proposed is to
develop a program or app that al-lows the public to have easy ac-cess to the towns tree inventory.This way, Lempert noted, anyonecould send corrections if a treeon their street is sick, has sus-tained damage or undergonesome sort of change.
The last example Lempert pro-vided is one that could better nav-igate the plethora of spaces avail-able for community events.
The municipality, PrincetonPublic Library, the Arts Council
of Princeton, the Suzanne Patter-son Center, local schools andchurches are just some of the or-ganizations that rent out theirspaces, Lempert said. Wethought it might be beneficial todevelop a centralized app or web-site where potential renters couldsee rules, availability, rates andeven be able to book their event.
In the coming months, Lem-pert and her comrades will putout a wide call to communitymembers and various groupswho may want to contribute theirideas and efforts to a localHackathon. Lempert said she islooking forward to hearing themany ways in which this eventmight advance the municipalityand community affairs on a local,more technological level.

PD to crack down on drunk drivingLaw enforcement officials from
Princeton will be cracking downon drunk drivers as part of theannual holiday season Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Overstatewide campaign. Runningthrough Jan. 2, local and state lawenforcement officials will con-duct saturation patrols and sobri-ety checkpoints looking for mo-torists who may be driving whileintoxicated. The national DriveSober or Get Pulled Over effortstrives to raise awareness aboutthe dangers of drinking and driv-ing through a combination ofhigh-visibility enforcement and
public education.This is a critical law enforce-ment program that can save livesduring a time of the year when
impaired driving traditionally in-creases by nearly 10 percent," saidChief Nicholas Sutter.
This initiative brings atten-
tion to the serious consequencesof drunk driving and the gravedanger those who choose to drinkand drive pose to all who sharethe road with them.
Last year, 22 percent of allmotor vehicle fatalities in thestate were alcohol-related. Na-tionally, more than 10,000 peopledie each year in drunk drivingcrashes. The societal cost associ-ated is estimated to be $37 billionannually. Law enforcement agen-
cies participating in the DriveSober or Get Pulled Over 2014year-end holiday crackdown offerthe following advice for holiday
season: Take mass transit, a taxi-
cab, or ask a sober friend to driveyou home.
Spend the night where theactivity or party is held.
If you see an impaired driv-er on the road, contact law en-forcement.
Always buckle-up, every ride.Its your best defense against animpaired driver.
If you are intoxicated andtraveling on foot, the safest way toget home is to take a cab or have asober friend or family memberdrive or escort you to your
doorstep. Be responsible. If someoneyou know is drinking, do not letthat person get behind the wheel.

When the words, RapeHaven, were spray-painted onthe cement gates outside Prince-ton Universitys private Tiger InnEating Club in mid-November, astir was created around the com-munity. Around the same time, arumor leaked to news sourcesthat a photo of a sexual act atthe Eating Club was circulatingthe Internet.
At that point, Sgt. Steven Ric-citello of the Princeton Police De-partment said the matter, thoughin the departments jurisdiction,was not under an active investiga-tion because no victim had comeforward.
Last week, two Eating Club of-ficers, the treasurer and vicepresident, were forced to resignas a consequence of inappropri-ate emails being sent to club
members, according to club offi-cials. Martin Mbugua, PrincetonUniversitys communications di-rector, said in an email to pressthat when information is re-
ceived, we investigate the matterthoroughly and carefully in ac-cordance with our sex discrimi-nation and sexual misconductpolicy, after which we determineif and when action should betaken.
Riccitello said that though ac-cusations have been made thatthe clubs vice president was affil-iated with disseminating the sexact photo via email, there is stillno investigation without a victim.If a victim comes forward sayingshe was victimized, a full investi-gation will go into effect.
Council hears outcommittees for 2015In a press conference Nov. 24,
Mayor Liz Lempert said therewould soon be a special meetingheld to jump-start expectationsfor the coming year. On Dec. 1, thechairs of various boards, com-
missions and committees were in-vited to a two-hour meeting at themunicipal building to voice whatissues may arise at the onset of2015.
Sixteen presentations weremade, and most had plenty to ad-dress. Some of the attendees in-cluded Wanda Gunning of thePlanning Board, Robert Altmanof Traffic and Transportation,Steve Kruse of the Pedestrianand Bicycle Advisory Committee,Matt Wasserman of the Environ-mental Commission, Julie Capoz-zoli of the Historical Preserva-tion Commission, Charles Rojerof the Board of Health, and AlvinMcGowin of Affordable Housing.The Historic Preservation Com-mission also provided some ac-complishments of 2014.
As Princeton closes 2014 withnearly two years of consolidationbehind it, there is no shortage ofcommunity committees that con-tribute to the rich landscape ofPrincetons municipality, govern-ment, aesthetic and well-being.For a full list of each presentationand its corresponding printout of
needs/issues to be addressed,visit Princetons site for 2014Council Agendas and Minutes:www.princetonnj.gov/council-agendas.html.

Nicaragua and spent his youthobserving the devastation of acivil war, oppressed by dictator-ship and military rule, andwhirled into the harrowing stan-dard of losing his friends moreoften than not.
My house was taken over bythe army for 10 days, Narvaezexplained calmly. We were likehostages in our own home andhad to feed the soldiers as theycame in and out freely; I experi-enced that.
As time went on, the revolutionsprung from a determined people,but the political climate remainedunstable. Narvaezs father andstepmom were concerned, ap-plied for a student visa for theirson, and were granted one fromthe U.S. embassy. Narvaez regis-tered to finish high school inFlorida and moved north to acountry different from the one healways knew.
At that time, Nicaragua wasprobably the second poorest coun-try next to Haiti. I am very grate-ful and lucky to have had the op-portunity to come here with avisa it is not so easy now. I wasgiven the opportunity to feel safeand I try to make the best ofthat, Narvaez said.
Joined by a detective from thePrinceton Police Department inMarch 2013, Narvaez reached outto local programs and organiza-tions such as the Latin AmericanLegal Defense and EducationFund, Hermandad Latino Ameri-cano, Princeton Human Services,St. Pauls Roman CatholicChurch, Crisis Ministry and Lati-nos en Progreso to help build abridge in the community and es-tablish trust between immigrantsand law enforcement. As stated inPresident Obamas recent execu-tive order to reform immigrationlaws, Narvaez too said there aretoo many people living in the
shadows.It is Narvaezs goal to bring thesignificant Hispanic communityof Princeton out of the shadowsand into a place of awareness, un-derstanding and support. Nar-
vaez wants every person living inhis community the place heserves as an officer and citizen,where he wakes up every day,says hi to his neighbors andgrabs a cup of coffee at his localspot to feel safe, whether theyare undocumented or were bornright here in the old hospital onWitherspoon Street.
Officer Narvaez is helping onhis own time to be proactive,Princeton Police Chief NicholasSutter said. We are here to sup-
port him in doing so.At present, Narvaezs effortsare perhaps more necessary thanever as immigration laws shiftunder Obamas executive order.Narvaez, with the help of other
volunteers Narvaez made itclear he cannot take sole creditfor these actions Father Miguel,St. Pauls priest for the Hispaniccongregation, and three lawyers,Ryan Lilienthal, Rudy Arodasand Tatiana Durbak, organized ameeting at St. Pauls to inform un-documented individuals of thechanges ahead.
The most recent meeting tookplace Monday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m.According to Narvaez, the meet-ing was intended to last two
hours but, with a successfulturnout and three booths set upfor one-on-one Q and As with thelawyers, ran until at least 10:30

p.m. Narvaez said about 150 peo-ple came and thinks that on anight when its not raining mostwalk to St. Pauls there will be evenmore in attendance.
Narvaez hopes toschedule a meeting monthly tokeep the community up to date.He said it was very commend-able of the attorneys to give somuch time at the last event, twoof whom spoke Spanish fluentlyand all of whom, Narvaez re-called, could understand the lan-guage.
The pace of the meeting wentsmoothly since Father Miguelhad typed up and distributed con-cerns he received from variouscongregation members about theexecutive order ahead of time.
One of the most common con-cerns, Narvaez noted, waswhether undocumented citizens
who are permitted to work wouldbe able to obtain a drivers li-cense.
The other was the question ofthese new rights being revokedafter a new president is elected.The attorneys at the meetingagreed this was unlikely and feltthe country would come toterms with a law that will benefiteveryone in the long run, Nar-
vaez said.A major priority in these meet-
ings, Narvaez encouraged, is toprevent victimization of undocu-
mented persons and help themget to the right place. SinceObama addressed the executiveorder, there have been scamsswiping away the trust and
money of undocu-mented persons whoapply for workingpermits that are not
yet in place. Narvaez stressed thatObamas address was the firststep, but the responsibility toarrange specific rules and regula-tions, including forms that wouldgrant working permits for undoc-umented individuals, are in thehands of U.S. Citizenship and Im-migration Services and remain inthe works.
We are here to help you if youare a victim of a crime, Narvaezsaid of himself, the Princeton Po-lice Department and other organ-izations involved in preparingthese meetings, just as we would
help anyone else who is part ofthe community.
Narvaez foresees future meet-ings regarding the executive
order to be hosted at the Prince-ton Public Library. For more in-formation on Obamas order it-self, please visit www.white-house.gov/issues/immigration orwww.whitehouse.gov/issues/in-migracion for a version in Span-ish.

who enter the graceful and some-times not so graceful process ofaging, must do so with awareness.
Thats what mindfulness is,really. Its about self-reflectionand awareness, Lambo said.
She explained how we as acommunity, as a culture areheaded for a tsunami of peopleabout to retire.
The PSRC allows for Princetonand Mercer County residentswho emerge at the tip of the waveto learn how to surf it. But over-all, Lambo thinks the larger
whole is ill prepared for the laststage of life.
Lets start conversationsabout the end stage of life. How
do we want to feel about ourselvesmentally, medically, spiritually?Lambo questioned, her voice ris-ing with enthusiasm. Do I wantto be what I am, right here, wrin-kles and all or try to be somethingthat Im not? That is somethingwe are faced with asking our-selves throughout life, but I thinkit becomes more poignant in oldage.
Israel said she demonstratedthe way media pose this questionat the program and how it chal-lenges aging individuals imagesof self. One example she gave was
an Eileen Fisher advertisementthat always shows an olderwoman, long, straight gray hairand a consistent size two, which
can be a bit unrealistic for manyaging women.
Generally speaking, aging,though it begins at birth, gets at-tached, like a barnacle solely toolder age.
And therefore, when we ob-serve aging in ourselves and oth-ers, we feel a distastefulness, ahostility, an adversity, actuallyterror, Israel said.
She referred to a quote by Dr.Andrew Achenbaum and said so-ciety needs to reflect on aging as apotentially positive aspect of thelife cycle: Most Americans sub-scribe to negative ideas of olderpeople, which once seemed tomake sense, but which no longerhave any basis in fact.
New approaches to aging needto be created! Israel announcedoptimistically.
Lambo and Israel receivedsuch positive response to theirworkshop, they have been askedto host another at the Princeton
Public Library.Lambo expects the next talk
will be sometime in spring orearly summer.

If youre feeling in the holidayspirit, whether youre a Prince-tonian or an out-of-towner,Princeton is just the place to getin the mood. With lights strunggenerously throughout the com-munity, shops galore meetingthe need of every toy-crazy ado-lescent, well-dressed mommy,sports fan or trend-seeking teen and restaurants to dip into ondreary days for a hot beverage orbowl of soup, Princeton has well,if not overly prepared for the sea-son.
Holiday events have been an-nounced as Decembers count-down to Chanukah, Christmasand New Years carries on. Butwhats truly important is whatyou and your families are up tothis time of year. Between theGod bless us, everyone affirma-
tions on McCarters stage andjust good ol family time, theres alot from which to choose.
The Sun bundled up and head-ed up Witherspoon to find out:
The Butlers are new to Prince-ton, having moved here fromBoston in January. Jenny Butlersaid she is looking forward tohaving her babys first Christmasin the area. One of her prioritiesis finding a casual holiday con-cert to perhaps make into a newtradition. Her daughter, Marie, is
9 months old and has reached thestage where she is grabbing andpulling on everything.
This season, were trying tofind a creative way to keep heraway from the Christmas tree,Jenny laughed.
Michelle Row, a long-time local,said her favorite thing about theholidays is simply celebratingwith her family.
She and her husband have twolittle ones, a boy, 3, and girl, 18
months.Row is excited to spend thisseason showing her childrenwhat this time is all about.
This is the first Santa Clausyear where our son is old enough
to join in. Were really enjoyingthe build-up to Christmas Eveand Christmas, Row said.
Erica Scala and her family livein Mercer County, though her twochildren, Paul, 8, and Samantha,5, attend Stone Hill Learning Cen-ter in Princeton. Scala said herkids love attending the ArtsCouncil of Princetons holidayevents and workshops.
I love art! Paul said hishazel-green eyes bulging with en-thusiasm. My favorite is Leonar-
do DiVinci.Paul also likes walking around
Princeton University, especiallywhen its covered in snow. Scalasaid they come to Princeton to doeverything art, and her kids areworking on paintings for the holi-days.
When asked what they love todo in Princeton during the holi-days, Blythe and Jessica of Penn-sylvania exclaimed, Thats whywere here! With their 2-month-
old daughter, Blythe Violet,strapped snug against Jessicaschest, Blythe and Jessica saidthey come to Princeton everyyear to get in the holiday spiritand handle all their Christmas
shopping.Coming to Princeton has be-
come a December tradition andtodays the day! Blythe said.
