Road closure cuts off Mt Joy Road residents in Wallkill
Mt Joy Road across the Quickway will be closed by the State Department of Public Works this fall, forcing about 40 residents plus others on nearby Mt Joy Hill and Midway Road to travel five to ten miles longer to Middletown. Fire apparatus and winter road clearance will be hindered, and officials question an alternative access underpass near the crossing. Local officials protest the move, seeking an access road or safe alternative, but state officials cite cost and feasibility.

Middletown Guides Committee Forms After SED Review
Five guidance counselors from Middletown schools formed a cross level committee led by Miss Phyllis List to coordinate K 12 guidance work. Members include James Sweeney veraldi, Webster White and Leon Shapiro from Middletown High, and Mrs Barbara Bonney Truman Moon, meeting this month to draft a philosophy statement for September review and possible board recommendations by November.
