📰 News we're reading

• Sept. 29, 2026 Edition (scdemocratonline.com) — This week's historical roundup is packed with Livingston Manor connections, from an 1896 hardwood deal and early hotel ownership to a 1926 Masonic leader from town. You'll also find century-spanning snippets on local elections, weddings, farm sales, store prices, and community milestones across Sullivan County that help trace how daily life here has evolved.
   

• 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. The newly merged Long Island council serves over 10,000 scouts and 5,000 volunteers, and Coscia says he aims to expand outdoor and leadership opportunities for families across the region.
