The Middletown Journal lists Edwina Blackwell Clark as publisher and M. David Goodwin as editor with Michael Williams serving as editorial page editor for the 1857 founded newspaper.
The Beslan school hostage crisis highlights U S concerns about school safety. It underscores the need for upgraded security, training, and resources across districts to protect students, staff, and communities from similarly targeted violence. The piece argues for proactive measures rather than fear, urging investment by administrators, teachers, parents, and law enforcement.
A Willow Knoll Retirement Community resident defends the nursing staff after bruises on a patient spark isolated accusations. Three investigations found no fault by any aide, and the writer cites increased patient care and praise from other residents to counter the daughters’ bitterness.
An elderly Armco retiree voices anger at liberals and media, arguing abortion is legal while arguing the war is unjust. He accuses political figures of dishonoring veterans, compares critics to Hitler, and questions spending on a statue versus aid for the homeless or elderly. He also attacks Rush Limbaugh for criticizing John Kerry’s war record and notes Bush’s lack of a war record.
Springboro school board accepted teacher Douglas McBrierty’s resignation and kept records out of his file after alleged back rubbing of a female student and drinking in front of pupils. It saved thousands in legal fees, prompting critique on accountability and mandatory reporting as state lawmakers weigh tougher rules.
Middletown residents marked Labor Day 1920 with a sunrise dedication at the Road of Remembrance corner of 14th Avenue and Main Street now Verity Parkway. The ceremony featured Nate Kunin’s Band, a color guard of wounded World War I veterans, and speeches by Armco executive Bennett Chapple. Twenty four fallen Middletown soldiers were named on bronze tablets, with living memorials of 1100 local soldiers represented by sycamore trees along Main Street. The four monuments, later moved, and the rededication on Armistice Day 1977 are noted as early nationally significant civic projects.
The Middletown Journal outlines how to submit letters to the editor by mail email or fax. Submissions must include full name address and daytime phone for verification. Letters may be edited for length and clarity and become the property of the newspaper.
