The Middletown Journal, founded in 1857, lists Edwina Blackwell Clark as publisher and M David Goodwin as editor with Michael Williams serving as editorial page editor.
Editorial lauds Saturday’s Music on Main fundraiser for Sorg Opera Co. and Abilities First for transforming downtown Middletown. Crowds enjoyed food, dancing, balloon art, and a free performance by Gregg Clark & the Royal Blues at the Song Opera House. The piece praises community effort, notes Abilities First serves over 1,200 people yearly, and hopes for future events to support arts and services downtown.
The inspector general report on Gen. William Boykin finds he failed to clear speeches and disclose travel costs, but the piece argues the real issue is whether the Defense Department should tolerate public religious bigotry by senior officers. It criticizes Rumsfeld and Bush for dodging a forthright condemnation.
James Ewers Jr discusses Colin Powell not attending the Republican National Convention in New York. The piece argues Powell may resign if Bush is re-elected, citing differences with Bush on affirmative action and policies, and suggests his credibility could be restored by stepping away. Powell’s stance on Iraq, war, and UN testimony are framed as factors shaping his future.
Arnold Garcia Jr. reflects on the 3000 Texas National Guard members sent to Iraq and how the large deployment shifts costs to civilian employers and families, reshapes communities, and tests the limits of a Guard reliant defense strategy. The piece warns of economic strains, calls for responsible policy, and urges support for troops’ safe return.
