MORE ON FLORENCE LABADIE, HER CROTON CONNECTION

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.

We were reminded of this early film actress, who had achieved quite a bit of fame in her time, when we stumbled upon this 1915 ad for the Mutual production of Mons. Lecoq.  Click on the photos and links.

(For those who don't know, Monsieur Lecoq was a fictional detective created by Émile Gaboriau, a 19th-century French writer and journalist.)

But back to the very beautiful Labadie.

On August 28, 1917, La Badie was driving near Ossining, New York, when she swerved on Sope Hill in Croton-on-Hudson to avoid a collision with several trucks at 6:30 PM and went down a steep embankment. She was taken to the hospital in Ossining and died from septicemia (blood poisoning) as a result of injuries from the accident....

All this is related in a detailed and extensive article in  the YORK, PA DAILY RECORD---MYSTERY WOMAN IN THE YORK BUILT COUPE---Florence La Badie was a famous silent firm star that received a customized York built Pullman Deluxe Coupe in 1916. 

La Badie’s publicity photo, via Pinterest, is from the height of her career in that same time frame.....

The article remains available at

AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY... FAUCI... YET AGAIN...

Six and a half years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and after years of most in the media and the political class pretending it never happened, our response to the spread of the coronavirus is back in the news. All thanks to the not-so-fearless leader of our pandemic policy making, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Anthony Fauci.

Fauci spent years, starting in early 2020 and beyond, as the center of attention in the United States and beyond. And boy did he know it and revel in it. Promoted by the media as a star "expert," an unbiased keeper of all scientific knowledge, and made into a celebrity thanks to his obvious political leanings and anti-Trump messaging, Fauci became beloved. Just ask him.

The release of his diaries though, revealed some thoroughly discrediting and upsetting details about Fauci's private beliefs.

He knew that lockdowns weren't working, saying that cases seemed to rise and fall regardless of what was closed and when. He knew that there was no justification for masking other than "everyone else is doing it already," and a desire to fit in with the CDC. He knew that COVID-19 vaccines weren't stopping the spread, and even worried about getting infected at an event that required proof of vaccination to attend.

INTERESTING LETTER---MICHAEL EISENKRAFT, CHAIR, CROTON DEMOCRATS, LETTER TO THE RIVER JOURNAL REGARDING THE CROTON DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE ROLE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS---CROTON VILLAGE JUSTICE

Dear Editor,

I write to clear up some apparent confusion regarding the role of the Croton Democratic Committee in the political process – both in general and specifically with respect to the current candidates for Croton Village Justice.

The endorsement of the Croton Democratic Party does not get anyone on, or keep anyone off, the ballot. When the Croton Democratic Committee endorses a candidate, its members will assist the endorsed candidate in getting the requisite number of signatures to get on the ballot. But the candidate that did not receive the endorsement can still seek the party line by gathering the requisite signatures. When this happens there is a primary where voters choose the candidate. This is what recently occurred in the primary for Congressional District 17, where Cait Conley prevailed in a contested Democratic primary contest and will run on the Democratic party line in November.
