THOSE 215 IMAGINARY CANADIAN MARTYRS ARE IN THE NEWS AGAIN.....

Several of us have been following this hoax since day one thanks to Canadian friends and family but we must admit it---with our own local and national issues---and holdover problems from the last administration in Washington---this one fell by the wayside a few months back. It's on the radar again thanks to DEEPLY PROBLEMATIC WITH JOHN KAY and the Canadian contingent---and yes, it's behind paywall but is highly recommended:

On April 9, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and the rest of his caucus gathered in Montreal to kick off their three-day 2026 National Liberal Party Convention. In keeping with recent tradition, the proceedings began with an Indigenous elder performing a land acknowledgement and other sacraments of reconciliation.

In this case, the elder was Kan’ahsohon Kevin Deer, a well-known expert in Haudenosaunee culture, who delivered a brief oration in Mohawk, which he followed by a religious ritual involving a rattle made from the shell of a snapping turtle, a deerskin water drum, and a series of subdued ululations.

Mohawk is an Iroquoian language spoken by only about 1,600 Canadians. And so it seems unlikely that anyone in the room could understand Deer’s recited “creation story” (as he later described it). On the CPAC television network, roughly the Canadian version of C-SPAN, befuddled producers captioned Deer as “SPEAKING INDIGENOUS,” the equivalent of identifying a Korean diplomat as “SPEAKING ASIAN.”  AGAIN BEHIND PAYWALL BUT THERE'S MORE AT Canada’s 215 Imaginary Martyrs

BASEBALL RECAP--LAKELAND TRIUMPHS OVER CROTON

VILLAGE ZONING MAP

Currently trending on local social media---still---the pot shop/cannabis dispensary and zoning issues in general. There seems to be some erroneous info out there regarding what areas are zoned for what---who lives where---and considerable discussion of "floating zones" for multi-family-low income-affordable housing---as well as steep slopes laws in general.  

As a result of all this discussion, the blog has received requests for the latest zoning map. It's available on the village website at Zoning Map 3 2014 Working Copy.pdf

Any additional questions about "floating zones", "tiny houses", "ADU's", and "flex-zones" should be referred to village officials and/or staff.
