Today's riddle: Why should you never iron a 4-leaf colver? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Nor'easter Nearly Ruined Their Wedding. Newlyweds Married At Life Time Gym (patch.com) — Middletown readers will appreciate how Life Time Middletown-Red Bank rescued a local couple's wedding after a nor'easter flooded their original venue and the groom's Highlands street. Staff quickly transformed the gym's yoga studio and lounge into a warm ceremony and reception space, allowing most guests to attend safely despite the storm. The story highlights the dedication of Middletown Life Time employees and the club's unexpected role as a community gathering place.
2. Evidence of West Nile Virus Prompts Mosquito Spraying in the Area12 (tworivertimes.com) — Middletown neighborhoods have been targeted for mosquito spraying after local samples tested positive for West Nile virus, with early-morning truck treatments in Port Monmouth, Belford and areas south of Route 36. County officials stress both the health risks from the virus and how to reduce bites, while advising residents to limit outdoor activity during spraying and bring pets and toys indoors.
3. Local Event: GYPSY, A Musical Fable (patch.com) — Middletown theater fans can catch the MAC Players' production of "Gypsy" at the Middletown Arts Center from October 16–25, with reserved seating and senior and student discounts available. Showtimes include evening performances and special Sunday matinees, including a reduced-price senior matinee on October 18. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling the MAC box office.
4. No Water Rescues In Middletown; Fox Swims Through Flood Waters In Rumson (patch.com) — Middletown avoided dangerous water rescues during the weekend's coastal flooding, though falling trees damaged a home in Navesink and blocked a road in Locust without injuries. Nearby, flooding battered Keyport's waterfront and closed part of the Henry Hudson Trail, while state and county officials assess damage that could support a federal disaster declaration.
