ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND FOR THE CROTON LIONS CLUB

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

(Click on the photos.)

The Croton Lions were busy again last weekend at CVS and Bagels on the Hudson selling 50/50 Raffle tickets. Last year the winner received $1400 and the club the other $1400. Those funds went back to the Croton community through the local disaster relief effort (fire victims), scholarships, LionsSEE vision program, Croton boosters, police and EMS, free medical equipment loans and almost 30 more charities.

This year, the Lions were able to increase the amount of their three scholarships to deserving graduating CHHS seniors from $3,000 to $5,000 thanks to the generosity of our village.

There is still time to purchase raffle tickets. They are on sale at the Croton Diner anytime and at Summerfest, June 7th all day until the drawing at 5pm.

ANOTHER DETRANSITIONER WINS A HUGE SETTLEMENT

Cases like this are likely to reshape gender medicine for years to come, as doctors, therapists, and hospitals face growing legal and financial pressure over how quickly irreversible procedures were approved for vulnerable patients. The era of rubber-stamping gender interventions after cursory evaluations appears to be coming to an end, with malpractice lawsuits succeeding where internal oversight and medical institutions failed.

RIP ANGELICA DOMROSE

One of the very first "all In German with subtitles" films your editor ever saw was this one at a small but very nice art theatre on the upper east side. Domrose was wonderful in the part. FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EFSP:

ANOTHER----GUNMAN WHO BELIEVED HE WAS JESUS CHRIST OPENED FIRE ON WHITE HOUSE CHECKPOINT, NEUTRALIZED BY SECRET SERVICE

A crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service, sources said. Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers. At least one bystander was hit and seriously wounded in the fusillade, the sources said.

A REMINDER FROM EVERYTHING CROTON AND THE NYSDEC----MOTORISTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO GIVE TURTLES "A BRAKE"

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

IT'S TURTLE SEASON (Click on the photo to see one from The Duck Pond enjoying a bit of sunshine on the remnants of an old tree stump.)

And now a word from the NYSDEC: Motorists are Encouraged to Give Turtles ‘A Brake’

As May and June roll in, the warm weather brings out New York’s amazing turtle species! This is a critical time for turtles as they migrate to find ideal spots for basking, foraging, and laying their eggs. Female turtles, in particular, are on the move, often crossing roads in search of suitable nesting locations. Sadly, many turtles lose their lives each year after being hit by vehicles.

Here are some helpful tips to assist turtles during this nesting season:

When possible, reduce your speed and remain alert in areas where there are ponds, waterways, and wetlands—look out for turtle crossing signs, too.

Only stop on a roadway if it is safe, signal appropriately before pulling over, and ensure you park completely off the roadway.

Avoid picking turtles up by their tails. Most turtles, except snapping turtles, can be safely lifted by the sides of their shells. Use a firm grip since they may kick to escape. Dropping a turtle can harm their shell and developing embryos.

Always move the turtle in the direction it is facing.

If you come across an injured turtle, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

What about snapping turtles?Snapping turtles possess powerful jaws and long necks, enabling them to strike defensively. (Note: They can turn and kick swiftly when handled, so proceed with caution!)
Using thick gloves, grip the rear of the shell near the tail with both hands, and gently slide the turtle onto a mat or blanket, then across the road safely.

Remember, it’s vital not to remove turtles from their natural habitats under the guise of ‘rescuing’ them. They know their surroundings well and may attempt to return to familiar areas, which can lead them to face more road dangers. Taking even one adult female turtle from the wild can have serious consequences for local populations.

Always keep turtles in their natural habitats—resisting the urge to take them home as pets is important for the survival and longevity of the population. All native amphibians and reptiles in New York are protected under New York State Environmental Conservation Law .

Together, we can help ensure the safety of these fascinating creatures!

INVASIVES--KEEPING AN EYE ON THE ROUND GOBY--FROM THE LATEST DEC DELIVERS

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Eye on Round Goby

Round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) are a small bottom-dwelling fish from the Black and Caspian Seas. It was first sighted in 1990 in the St. Clair River in Michigan and has since been spreading throughout the Great Lakes and Central New York. In 2021 it was discovered at the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers near the first lock of the Champlain Canal.

Round goby have a voracious appetite, are aggressive, reproduce rapidly, has and can outcompete native fish populations. They are notorious bait stealers and prey on the eggs and young of sportfish making them a nuisance to anglers. The risk this invasive species poses to New York fisheries highlights the importance of clean, drain, dry practices and purchasing live fish bait from licensed sellers only (see baitfish regulations).

View the Round Goby webpage for more information on the impacts of this invasive fish and how you can help stop the spread.
