Although I am no longer a resident of Middletown, when I asked a friend, how the fire work display on the 4th was, I was in shock to hear,that Middletown hadn't done it this year nor the year before.
And although I may no longer live in Middletown, I'm still gona give my " 2 cents" of an opinion about that.
I think thats outragious, disheartening and could have been avoided .

In the past, the 4th of July celebration has always been a spectacular, day long event for the City of Middletown , From concerts on the lawn at City Hall to the food court and vendors to the dislay at Habor Park.

I understand that there are cuts in the budget on the local and state levels. And the cost is well over $100,000., But an event of this sigificants, an annual observants for the city,in celebrating the birthday of our country, Which has become an infamious spectical for The city of Middletown, Habor Park, The Americas Cup, not to mention the revenue that are brought in from this event.

Families are going though tough times right now too, and hosehold costs are more carefully watched, And even still, sometimes, you just have to take the family out for Ice cream. Can you get the picture?

Celebrating the 4th of July is a priviledge earned by every American. The employeed and the unemployeed, the have and the have nots. Not everyone has the abilty, both physical and financial, to travel somewhere to see the fire work dispaly.

It is disheartening, that we( you ) have allowed such a thing to happen.
I understand that the monies just aren't there, But I'm SURE, something could have been worked out between the companies in that town, that seem to benefits from its residents,to prevent this catastrophy from happening.

I am appauled that, with all of the corperations, firms, and business in that city , that through efforts of the Commerace, Mr Larry McHuge, and the residents hadn't done something ,through either donation of time , resourse and /or monies from those many companies. Businesses who have a vested interest in its community and its citizens, should have felt a sense of obligation to put this historical event on.

As a former Community Orangizer in Middletown and having put together successful events, with absolutly no money at all, totally achived by volunteers and donations. I find it hard to believe that businesses, who have managed to sustain themselfs during these tough economic times and a Commerace with unlimited resources., that nothing was done to prevent this from happening. All I can say is, Shame on you...... And you have 364 days before you can prevent this from happening again and save yourselfs the embarassment of doing it again next year. . I suggest you start working on it now.

eminence that I do not buccaneer UPC decoding as a acting of twin coupons to gross revenue -- it is not only extremely unethical, but victimisation the content obtained via steganography to deliberately then use a coupon to buy up thing other than what is specified is coupon chicane -- a crime. Without explaining precisely how it is done, there is a shell out of a coupon's barcode that matches a small indefinite amount of the product's barcode. This is how the air passage determines if the good has been purchased. Because of the way that the old barcode on a coupon well-matched that coupon to a product's association code, coupons for one top dog designer good power see without beeping on a same comprehensive Mills product. (And, don't get some "clever" ideas that cryptography barcodes to use one coupon on a polar component to get a finer wood power be "smart shopping" -- it's fraud, austere and simple. This family-code coupon trickery effort is organism eliminated with an industry-wide word to the barcode live body this year. Safeway stores' registers have now acceptable the update, as have many others more or less the country.motherhood maternity coupons It affects unprecedented coupon shoppers whose fixed cost is piqued by what they see on the show. sight something on idiot box validates it as "truth" for many an people. If they see a "reality celebrity" victimisation coupons in an "off-label" manner, for products that square measure unalike but not, as the maker puts it, "ONLY ..the brand, size(s) and quantities indicated," they will wear this is received -- or else, why would it be shown on television? populate pretend that surely, the express must have an skilled or unprofessional on script overseeing the kinds of trips that these shoppers square measure readying for the cameras, because thousands of audience will need to extra what they see.t will pass this form of fraud, as the New barcode is little fewer taxon to the taxonomic group of intersection that it can be used on. The raw barcode matter ameliorate is in direct at nearly stores now and has been roll out or so the state since this section was filmed. DO NOT attempt to gip the method by coding barcodes.
