Middletown park plan ties schools to recreation push
County officials push parkland near Middletown schools as a premier state complex. The plan calls for a nature style park on Sumantown Road with active fields for softball football and soccer. A recreation council was formed to shape a well rounded program for the Middletown High School district. Meanwhile tugboats struggled to free the Liberian bulk cargo ship Theodora after it ran aground near Baltimore Harbor with about 1000 tons of diesel onboard. No injuries reported and oil spill avoided as attempts continue.
