Posted

Have you ever heard of Liberty Square, the Exchange Hotel, the Marlboro Theatre, or the church that completely burned to the ground? If you haven’t, or if you’d like to learn more- this new app is for you!
The Marlboro Free Library is excited to announce the release of its new app, Discover Marlboro, which will take users on a historical walking tour of Marlboro! This free app, created in partnership with OnCell, is now available for download at the Apple Store and Google Play Store, and features historical photos and write-ups from the Library’s Local History Collection, an easily navigable map, and even audio playback for each site. Discover Marlboro is location-aware, which will show a user’s location in regards to nearby points of interest. Learn more about the town’s old bank, hotels, mills, and more as you walk through town!
For more information, including links to the app store and how to view the tour in your browser, visit marlborolibrary.org.

 The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers, by Maxwell King, traces Rogers’s personal, professional, and artistic life through decades of work. It includes his surprising decision to walk away from the show in 1976 to make television for adults, only to return to the neighborhood to help children face complex issues such as divorce, discipline, mistakes, anger, and competition. 

I received this heartfelt email asking me to publish in the column from Giancarlo Doddo, Boy Scott Troop #72. After reading this, it seems to me, we should all take pause and listen to what he has to say. Giancarlo, I am sure we all wish the same as you do.
“My name is Giancarlo Doddo and I am Boy Scout for Troop # 72 in Marlboro / Milton NY, I am writing this email as I am currently working on my Communication -Merit Badge for my Boy Scout Troop and one of the requirements is to write a letter to our local newspaper and ask their opinion on a current subject that is affecting us at this time.
I wanted to get your opinion on the current protest movement that is happening in our country and my individuals feel that it is okay to destroy and injure people in the different communities throughout the country. I get scared just going out of my house and not knowing what could happen to me or my family. I wish we could just have peace, and everyone getting along and stop all of this hate.”

Congratulations

Max Borchert is this year’s recipient of the Father Hanley Council 7266 Knights of Columbus $1,000 scholarship. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous member of the parish, an additional $200 has been added to this year’s scholarship. 
Presenting the K of C scholarship at the 9:30 a.m. Mass at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Marlboro on June 21, Raymond Leduc, Sr., chairperson of the scholarship committee, commented that this year’s recipient is a 2020 graduate of Marlboro High School and has taken on many leadership roles in the school, in Marlboro, and in the surrounding communities.  
Actively involved in several leadership roles in the scouting program, he has earned the Eagle Scout Badge, the highest recognition in scouting and has been an organizer for several community fundraisers. 

The New York State Public High School Athletic Association has announced that Marlboro High School has been named a 2019-2020 Scholar-Athlete School of Excellence. To earn this award, 75 percent of a school’s varsity teams must qualify and receive the Scholar-Athlete team award. Because the Spring 2020 program was canceled, this year’s School of Excellence winners were based on Fall 2019 and Winter 2020 Scholar-Athlete submissions.
