HiTOPS (Health-Interested Teens' Own Program on Sexuality), the teen health center on Wiggins Street, will celebrate two decades of providing clinical and health care services to young adults when it opens its doors to the community next Wednesday, October 18, from 3 to 7 p.m.
After five long years of construction and renovation work, the Princeton Regional School District will officially open its new facilities at Princeton High School (PHS) and John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS) this Saturday, October 14.
Princeton University representatives met with neighbors living around the school's Engineering Quadrangle in an eastern section of Princeton Borough as part of a campus-wide effort to become less auto oriented.
The residents, who largely hail from Murray Place, Princeton Avenue, and surrounding streets, have expressed concern over an increase in development within the area, known as the E-Quad, but have largely favored the school's overall policy of displacing automobiles and favoring a more comprehensive shuttle system.
After a task force found that maintaining a free-standing medical clinic on Witherspoon Street once the University Medical Center at Princeton relocates to Plainsboro would be less than cost-effective and could create a dichotomous, "two-tiered medical system, Borough Council last week unanimously passed a resolution supporting those findings, effectively ending a months-long debate.
A new work by Princeton composer, Ira J. Mowitz, will be featured in the by-invitation-only Gala Concert to be held this Saturday evening in the new auditorium at Princeton High School (PHS).
Ira Grunther is thrilled that his son will enter Princeton High School in time to benefit from the renovation of the old and construction of the new.
Citing minor changes to prospective zoning for the Princeton Township portion of the University Medical Center at Princeton's Witherspoon Street campus, planners Monday night suspended a discussion about introducing zoning changes for the site that are geared to anticipate the area's redevelopment once the hospital relocates to Plainsboro.
The discussion, which is now scheduled for Township Committee's October 23 hearing, was to follow the Regional Planning Board of Princeton's Thursday night endorsement of prospective zoning for the Princeton Borough portion of the site. Since the entire area straddles the municipal boundary, planners are working with both governing bodies to ensure compatible zoning.
Still committed to solving a 17-year-old murder mystery, the Princeton Borough Police Department announced last week that it had teamed up with the FBI in hopes of solving the murder of Emily "Cissy" Stuart, who was found stabbed to death in the basement of her Mercer Street home on April 4, 1989.
The revived investigation stems from a September meeting where representatives of the Trenton office of the FBI announced the launching of a new Violent Crimes Task Force, working with municipalities on a number of ongoing investigations, including cold case homicides, said Bill Evanina, a supervisory agent of the Trenton FBI. He added that 19-year department veteran Special Agent John Mulligan has been assigned to the Stuart case.
At a symposium composed of activists, legislators, artists, and music industry insiders, the biggest ovation of all was received by a professor whose prolific writings on race, politics, and class issues have made him into an academic superstar.
That was the scene Friday at Princeton University's McCosh Hall when Cornel West, a professor of religion at the University, was introduced as a panelist for the Princeton Hip-Hop Symposium. The boisterous applause, smiling faces, and the audience's need to hang on each and every one of his words was not unlike the scene at a rock or hip-hop concert, bringing all new meaning to the term "backpack hip-hop," or, hip-hop with a social, moral, and academic message.
