I was disgusted after reading the senior center’s ad in the July 26 Middletown Journal advertising a $40,000 raffle. Last year, it was high-stakes poker tournaments and now this giant raffle. What can we expect next? Roulette wheels or dice? I am surprised the board of directors, who are all fine people, would allow this type of activity to go on there. I believe it is time the board took over the place until a qualified person can be found to direct the daily operations of the center.

A dog park for Middletown? That deserves the biggest hee-haw of all times. Everyone and his granny have one to three dogs and no one cleans up after them. They turn them loose to go to someone else’s property and mess. One of them left their calling card on my sidewalk and I wouldn’t clean it up, come hell or high water. Middletown isn’t anything but one big dog park.

I have a solution to the idea of a “bark park.” Instead of it being at Sunset Park, why not tear down the skateboard park which is basically used by the thugs, drug dealers and kids who don’t respect the place with the graffiti and destroying of property? Tear the skateboard park out and put your bark park right there in that corner. It is away from the walkers. It is in a good area. Lots of trees. I think it would go over well.

Ann Mort says there were more than 59,000 people at the balloon event. With the condition of the roads in Middletown, how could 59,000 people get to Smith Park? There is no way. We would have had traffic backed up all over Middletown. ...

I would like to make the money that our weather forecasters make for being wrong 80 percent of the time.
