Drunk driver serves time in hospital under judge’s plan
Monroe judge Joseph Dally ordered 19-year-old David Doty, guilty of driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene, to spend Saturday nights in Tuxedo Memorial Hospital ER to witness the consequences of accidents. Doty, an OCCC student, said the idea had merit after observing limited ER incidents, while hospital staff noted the need for nighttime exposure.

Firemen seek reopening of 1973 contract talks in Middletown
Negotiators for the Paid Firemen's Association ask to meet the Middletown common council to reopen negotiations for a new 1973 contract aimed at matching police salary increases. President Chester Seeley said he contacted Alderman Kenneth MacVean for a meeting but no reply yet. The police package includes a 600 dollar across the board raise with longevity boosts and higher raises for sergeants and lieutenants, while firemen seek similar terms plus one third of accumulated sick time for retirees and resignees. City budget implications await federal Pay Board review due to the 7 percent average increases.
