POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS INJURED IN IDAHO SHOOTING AMBUSH AFTER SUSPECT STARTED BLAZE AS BAIT
UPDATED--HE'S DEAD Suspected gunman in Idaho firefighter ambush found dead | Watch
WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR ABOUT THE TARRYTOWN LIGHTHOUSE VANDALS AS OF JUNE'S END
As of early June 2025, four suspects have been arrested and charged in connection with the arson and vandalism of the historic Tarrytown Lighthouse in Sleepy Hollow, New York. On May 31, 2025, a Westchester County Parks employee discovered fire damage, broken windows, and destroyed antiques inside the lighthouse—a site listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Authorities charged four teenagers, including 19-year-old Richard Barrero and 18-year-old Elvin Ayavaca. Two 17-year-olds were also charged but not publicly named due to their age.
All four face felony counts of arson, burglary, and criminal mischief. The damage is estimated to exceed $100,000.
Surveillance footage helped identify the suspects. The investigation is ongoing, and public tips are still being encouraged.
The case is now in the legal system, and court proceedings are expected to follow.
As of now, all four suspects in the Tarrytown Lighthouse vandalism case have been arraigned and released on their own recognizance.
Here’s a breakdown of their legal case status:
Richard Barrero (19) and Elvin Ayavaca (18) were arraigned in Sleepy Hollow Village Court.
Two 17-year-olds were charged as juveniles. One was arraigned in the Youth Part of Westchester County Court, and the other turned himself in shortly after.
Charges include Arson in the Third Degree (Class C felony), Burglary in the Third Degree, and Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree.
They are currently awaiting further court proceedings.
At this time, authorities have not publicly disclosed the immigration status of the four individuals charged in the Tarrytown Lighthouse vandalism case. News reports and official statements have focused on the criminal charges—arson, burglary, and criminal mischief—and the ongoing investigation, but have not addressed whether any of the suspects are in the U.S. legally.
If immigration status becomes relevant to the legal proceedings, such as in the case of federal charges or ICE involvement, that information may be released later. For now, the case is being handled through local and state courts.
THIS IS ALL THAT IS VERIFIABLE AND HAS BEEN REPORTED AT THE PRESENT TIME TO OUR KNOWLEDGE. Residents should, however, prepare themselves for a possible outcome they may not like and/or do their own due diligence.

CNN NEWS---TRUMP'S VERY CONSEQUENTIAL TWO WEEKS
A LETTER TO THE PAPER--SUPERINTENDENT WALKER IS NOT A MONARCH
The following letter appeared in the Gazette:
To the Editor:
Over the years, people have occasionally called the Board of Elections in White Plains with questions or concerns about the May election (covering the school board seats, school and library budgets, and bond proposals). They are always told that the school district administers that election, and to speak with the school district.
Unfortunately our school district is not a model of responsiveness, let alone clarity. This year several people had questions regarding the procedure for observing the count after the polls closed. In a properly conducted election, this is addressed in NY Election Law section 8-500. Such people are knownas poll watchers. They must meet certain qualifications, conduct themselves in a certain manner, and produce a document (known as a Poll Watcher’s Certificate) identifying themselves and which candidate
or party they represent. In the case of a regular election, the certificate is signed by an authorized representative of the political party. In the case of a non-partisan election such as a school board election, it is signed by the candidate. Where a bond proposal is on the ballot, there may be committees supporting or opposing the ballot who qualify to appoint poll watchers.
The original signed poll watcher certificate is delivered to one of the workers at the election site (known as “inspectors”) and retained along with other official election documents. This procedure means that it is a matter of record as to who was present in the polling place after the site was closed to the public.
While it is true that the school district runs the May election, it is not true that the district operates independently of the law. It cannot make up the rules as it goes along. School districts are bound by NY Education Law, but that does not mean they can ignore the rest of the laws. And from a practical view, the question is: why not follow the same procedure used in other elections in Croton and across the state?
The purpose of Election Law 8-500 is to set clear rules for everybody. Those rules ensure that there is integrity and fairness both in fact as well as in perception. Unless our school district has set forth a written policy covering poll watchers at the May election, it seems to me that there is no reason not to follow the state Election Law. It should not be a matter of guesswork or the whim of whoever picks up the phone at Gerstein Street.
Our county Board of Elections is a model of clarity and provides a good example of how to conduct an election. Nobody is allowed to be in the polling place before 6am or after the close of polls unless they produce a Poll Watcher Certificate and normally there is not anyone in the polling place during those hours except the election inspectors.
In the case of an election run by the school district, the district should be a neutral administrator of the election. This is not always the case, as with the recent election in which the School Superintendent and Board President were viewed as trying to influence the election with their statement issued just prior to the candidate debate. Even the perception of influence reinforces the need for the school district to abide by a clear set of rules when administering the election.
Some people (including the NY Attorney General) point to the Wappingers school district Poll Watcher Certificate as an example of how to do it right. In particular, the back side of the Certificate has a discussion of the role of the poll watcher and how watchers are to conduct themselves.
Superintendent Walker is a public official, not a monarch. If he does not like the provisions of NY Election Law and chooses to ignore them, he should set out a clear written policy as to how the school district will conduct future elections, and post that policy on the publicly accessible website.

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.
A reader writes: It was really thrilling to see New York's own Cardinal Timothy Dolan play such a notable role in the selection of Pope Leo XIV. I seem to recall that he visited our church periodically (and I see St. Augustine too). Do you or the historical society have anything in the archives?
Response: Cardinal Dolan has visited Holy Name many times. Click on the photos and links that follow. Holy Name would have more complete records; you can contact the office directly at Holy Name of Mary - Croton-on-Hudson, NY
In the interim, here are some scenes from the 2009 Pentecost Sunday. Again click on the photos: Father Mike, the previous pastor of Holy Name is also here, along with the Knights of Columbus full color guard.
