TAYLOR POLICE: Officers responded to 60 calls between June 22-29.
For years, parishioners at St. Stephen’s Church in Old Forge held “secret” clam chowder sales (open only to members of the church family).
And now, well, the secret’s out.
Old Forge High’s most recent salutatorian, Richard Maopolski, will join more than 6,500 students attending Harvard University this fall — for free.
The 2009 graduate has accepted an academic scholarship from the Harvard Faculty of the Arts and Sciences. The award covers all of his college expenses, including room, board and tuition.
Maopolski attributes the scholarship to his experience as a student in the Old Forge School District.
"You can get a lot out of a small school," he said. "It’s almost better in a sense because everybody knows you and really wants you to succeed."
Officers responded to more than 90 calls between June 21-27.
