Deer season tragedy and local annexation concerns mix in Middletown
On the first day of deer season Mark Glagola and his family faced tragedy when his father Steve and brother Paul died in a head on crash on I 70 caused by a wrong way driver. The scene overlapped with a public discussion on annexation and architectural control as opponents argued limits on power. Local attorney Richard Burgee complained properties far from town should not be subject to town style rules. A joint annexation study was moved to a public hearing with no date set. The community offered support while the traffic safety and DUI discussion highlighted penalties for underage drinkers and license restrictions for some. Mr Glagola lamented the loss of friends and roommates, describing his brother as a hero.
