By Tammy Ruggeri
The Town of Marlborough cordially invites anyone and everyone to Community Day of Remembrance for LCPL William Jay Partington
Lance Corporal Partington was a Vietnam Veteran, killed in action March 2, 1970. Members of the American Legion and the Town of Marlborough encourage anyone and everyone to come to this event so we may keep Bill’s memory alive in our town.
On Sunday March 1, the Town of Marlborough and the American Legion Vieby-Sutton Post 124 will assemble at the Veteran’s Monument below the Middle School at 2 p.m to commemorate, celebrate and remember Billy. (Weather permitting)
Billy was killed in action in Quang Nam Province in the Republic of South Vietnam March 2, 1970. Fifty years ago, and we assemble to remember his sacrifice to our country.
His friends and fellow Vietnam veterans have never forgotten him and will never forget his ultimate sacrifice.

Marlboro Middle School (MMS) celebrated National No One Eats Alone Day on February 13 with a special event in the school cafeteria. Grade 6 students sat at different tables during their lunch period and participated in icebreaker activities with students they do not normally sit with. Grade 7 and 8 Junior Ambassadors facilitated the activities, along with Middle School counselors. Students were treated to cupcakes courtesy of the MMS PTA and entertainment by Paper Jam, the MMS faculty band. A fun time was had by all during this nationwide effort to end social isolation and create a culture of belonging for everyone!
Kudos to the Marlboro High School Boys and Girls Indoor Track teams, which had impressive showings at the Section IX Class B Championship meet at West Point on February 15. The Boys were named Section IX Champions while the Girls finished 2nd overall. Way to go!

TRADITIONAL IRISH SODA BREAD
Recipe by Halcyon Eve
This makes a fairly dense, rustic (ugly, even) loaf of bread that is tasty and not sweet. It is crusty and rough on the outside, chewy inside. Nummy hot with lots of butter! Note: sometimes (depending on humidity etc.) it takes a bit more than the 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk--just keep adding a little bit at a time until it all holds together as stated in the recipe
INGREDIENTS
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 - 1 ⁄ cup buttermilk
DIRECTIONS Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with melted butter or spray with nonstick spray. Combine dry ingredients in a deep bowl. Gradually stir in 1 cup buttermilk, beating constantly, until dough is firm enough to be gathered into a ball. If dough crumbles, add up to 1/2 cup more buttermilk, 1 tbsp at a time, until it holds together. Place on a lightly floured board and pat into an 8-inch flattened round loaf. Place loaf on baking sheet and slash a 1/2-inch deep “X” into the top of the dough with a small, sharp knife. Bake at 425 degrees F for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden. Serve Hot!
