CROTON YACHT CLUB - 2026 VETERANS DAY PRESS RELEASE
2026 Veterans Day Press Release

UNDO LEGAL WEED, MASSACHUSETTS IS THINKING ABOUT IT--THE FREE PRESS
Stephen Kronberg voted 10 years ago to legalize recreational marijuana in his home state of Massachusetts, hoping that it would lead to a boost in tax revenue and a “cleaner product” compared with black-market weed. “I thought it seemed like common sense,” he told me.

A reader writes: Back in the late 1970's, my late cousin entered some sort of local fireman's drawing(???) contest that I have been wracking my brains trying to remember. We went to Elliott's for the oaktag and markers. Can you help?

SOCIAL MEDIA HAPPENINGS THIS FINE FRIDAY
****PIGEONS! Much discussion about how, if you live in "the right sections", you get pigeon-free zones and art centers with "three million for landscaping"----and in the wrong section, you get affordable housing, pot shops and yada yada yada.....for the latest on Tony's pigeons, go to EverythingCroton: SO WHILE CROTON PAUSES THE PIGEON LAW AND WAITS FOR CORNELL....
****The IDEA Committee still dominates one forum--with much gratitude to the folks who exposed it (via FOIL) and/or documented it all (the Croton Landing private page and FOR LETTERS, see here). The Village is currently seeking members for the committee; one poster summed it up best: "Who'd want to join such a bunch".
Still no apologies (one Poster also said it best: When they tell you who they are, believe them".....and really, none expected.
****Lots of chatter about the Croton.News AI site--very positive---and many folks happy to have a free, "regularly updated" and reliable source of info.

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship --- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
John Sarcone, first assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York, told Newsmax on Wednesday that New York officials are obstructing efforts by the Department of Justice to verify voter rolls and prevent illegal voting.
"This is an important issue that has to be continuously talked about," Sarcone said on "Carl Higbie FRONTLINE."
"There are states like New York who are blocking DOJ's efforts from getting the voter rolls with the identifications. Now, what's wrong with that?" he asked. MORE AT John Sarcone to Newsmax: N.Y. Blocking DOJ Voter Checks

SO WHILE CROTON PAUSES THE PIGEON LAW AND WAITS FOR CORNELL....
Grounding pigeons that are accustomed to free flight is widely considered inhumane by avian veterinarians, animal behaviorists, and animal welfare organizations. Pigeons are highly adapted aerial animals, and forcing a flying bird into permanent confinement can cause significant physical and psychological harm.
The primary impacts of grounding a flying pigeon include:
Muscle Atrophy & Physical Decline: Pigeons have massive pectoral muscles designed for rapid, powerful flight. Permanent grounding leads to rapid muscle wasting, reduced cardiovascular fitness, and an increased risk of obesity and related metabolic diseases.
Psychological Distress: Pigeons are intelligent, visually driven animals. Stripping away their ability to fly often results in severe frustration, chronic stress, depression, and stereotypical behaviors like pacing, over-preening (feather plucking), or lethargy.
Social Disruption: Pigeons are strictly flock-oriented and monogamous. Forcing a free-flying pigeon into isolation or a restricted environment completely disrupts their complex social networks and mating bonds, leading to further distress.
