In a surprising turn of events, Kevin Wilkes, who had briefly been the perceived frontrunner in the race to fill the Borough Council seat vacated by Mildred Trotman when she was named mayor, withdrew his name from the running Tuesday, paving the way for Council to appoint Barbara Trelstad of Westcott Road to carry out Ms. Trotman's term, set to expire December 31.

On the heels of the announcement that the University Medical Center and the Merwick Care Center would relocate to Plainsboro, Princeton HealthCare System, the hospital's parent entity, announced Tuesday that it would sell the Merwick lands and the Franklin Avenue parking lot to Princeton University and the hospital's Witherspoon campus to a Philadelphia-based developer.
