If anyone is still scrolling down this far... I wanted to share a bit of anthrax humor in the paper today:
"Another scare surfaced in the city Thursday evening. Around 6:20pm, the Middletown Fire Department and state police personnel were called to the Middlesex County Courthouse on Court Street on a report of a white powdery substance found in a first floor office. The substance proved to be nothing dangerous, according to the Middletown Police Chief Robert Ross, who said it 'looked like a Certs that was stepped on and broken into the carpeting.'
As a precaution, the DEP was called to the scene to decontaminate the area.
Such scares are unneccessary, Ross said, noting "it's up to the public to do their part."
'If you drop a powdered doughnut on the floor, you need to clean it up,' he said."
