Bluefield Election Brings Shifts In City Board Seats
Vice Mayor George McGonagle lost the district seat by eight votes but won the mayoral path if the council follows the usual pattern. Ollie Law won district representation while Rev. Garry Moore secured the District I seat citywide. The council ponders selecting the top vote getter as mayor, a practice echoed with past members. The city also seeks a replacement for City Clerk Beverly Tresch as staff applications pour in.

Fox charity drive gains support from stars and foundations
A Princeton resident notes dedication to a cause as celebrity involvement boosts fundraising for AIDS and cancer research, comparing Fox's efforts to Magic Johnson and Elizabeth Taylor. She cites large contributions from two foundations and predicts faster progress with more funding. A Princeton High School student echoes the impact on Parkinson's funding from celebrity activism. The other article portion reports a JAMA study linking coffee intake to lower Parkinson's risk, though not a treatment, with 8,004 Japanese American men in Hawaii as subjects.
