The late Elsie Cofield.
The number of babies born at Yale-New Haven Hospital with HIV has been effectively zero since 1996. But now a new group is battling the disease: people 50 and older.
Nationally known HIV/AIDS advocate Michelle Lopez brought that message to the Betsy Ross Magnet Hall on Kimberly Avenue Thursday evening or the third Elsie Cofield Woman & Girls HIV/AIDS awards event.

Dora Lee Brown at her home on Asylum Street.
If you’ve spent any time in the Hill in the past 52 years, you probably know Ms. Dora Lee Brown.
You might not know how many lives she has lived, the history she has helped make or the wisdom she has honed after decades of fearlessly speaking up and breaking barriers.

Taylor, Sparer, and Lagarde field neighbors’ questions.
Stacy Spell: Too far to walk.
Yale-New Haven Hospital’s planned new $15 million primary care center sounds great, West River neighbors said. But how will people without cars get there?
Inside 150 Sargent, proposed new primary care site.
Tens of thousands of New Haveners next year will receive basic health care in a new spot with an experimental approach — if state and federal regulators say OK.

Smith with Hill neighbors.
Kate Bradley went door to door ahead of last week’s “bomb cyclone” that dumped a foot of snow to remind neighbors to move their cars to the even side of the street to make way for the plows.
The only problem: The plows never came to clear the snow.

On Tuesday night, actors Kerry Warren, Jackie Chung, and Jeremy Kahn sat in the atrium of the Wilson branch of the New Haven Free Public Library on Washington Avenue, talking about a kid who scared them.
It wasn’t just the menace in his creative writing. It wasn’t that he wasn’t doing well in his classes either. It was that they couldn’t connect to him. They were worried the student might shoot them. Kahn was worried that he might be first.

Initial rendering unveiled Tuesday night; dream-team designer Fang with participants at meeting (below).
Imagine this day spent on Long Wharf: You take a trolley or bike through the “stormwater” park that strategically connects to the Farmington Canal trail to the expanded IKEA “village,” where you buy furniture or browse shops and restaurants. Then you jump back on the trail and head to the New Haven Food Terminal to pick up fresh produce and other sundries for a picnic. You take your bike and picnic lunch on a water taxi that ferries you across the Long Island Sound for an afternoon at Lighthouse Park.
It sounded like a repeat of an old movie: Water damage causes a public-health emergency at the Church Street South housing complex, leading to families being put up in hotel rooms.

The beginning partial demolition of Church Street South.
The city and the owners of the dilapidated Church Street South housing complex have presented a united front when it comes to redeveloping the site. But when it comes to taxes and how much the owners should pay, they’ve essentially told each other, “I’ll see you in court!”
Kelly Munson and Kraig Patzlaff have been a couple for three years, for most of that time homeless.
They can kiss and even cuddle — although no sexual activity is permitted — and quietly listen to their favorite music together in the city’s newest warming center.

Lt. O’Neill at Tuesday night’s meeting.
The city’s new prospective start date for a pilot program that diverts prostitutes and low-level drug offenders from the criminal justice system and towards social services is this coming Wednesday, Nov. 29.
Tenants Doward, Walkeer, and Judson at Robert T. Wolfe.
If a vote by the housing authority swaps the federal government, Doris Doward, Jeffrey Walker, and Gail Hudson may see nicer apartments, more washing machines, and more parking at their 93-unit senior public-housing tower across from the train station.
