• Nation's homers, strikes were once Manor-made (newsatomic.com) — Livingston Manor once helped power America's home runs and strikes, thanks to the Sherwood family factories that turned local ash into Spaulding bats and Brunswick bowling pins. With the O&W rail line extended to town in the 1870s, their products reached markets nationwide, employing over a hundred workers and leaving a lasting mark on both the community and national sports history.
   

• Scouting America Long Island names first CEO (libn.com) — Livingston Manor gets a brief spotlight here as home to the Onteora Scout Reservation, one of three major camps now overseen by Scouting America Long Island's first CEO, Chris Coscia.
