Food stamp plan starts well in Orange County
Orange County rolled out the federal food stamp program with a promising start, as about 2,000 eligible families began using benefits Monday. Local grocers reported steady customer turnout in Newburgh, Middletown, Port Jervis and nearby towns, with each shopper spending around $20 on food valued at about $25. The program, despite earlier lukewarm reactions, is expected to bring in roughly $300,000 annually for the area, with 75+ stores authorized to redeem stamps through local banks and savings institutions.

Contested Horizon Heights Plan draws Monroe tax worry
Monroe officials and about 50 taxpayers pressed the town board to urge the planning board to halt Horizon Heights approvals. They argued zoning laws should limit Skyline Estates to 193 or fewer homes on the West Mombasha Road tract to ease tax pressure from rising enrollments. The crowd urged use of the 1965 ordinance, opposed 1942 rules, and sought outside counsel for the planning board. In Port Jervis an elderly woman, Leila La Bar, was killed crossing Pike Street by a 1968 blue car. driver’s identity not released as police investigate.
