WITH FATHER'S DAY ON THE HORIZON, WE RECENTLY WATCHED "A FATHER'S CHOICE" AGAIN...

A wonderful old Peter Strauss film----and we were reminded why we like him as an actor.

(Strauss, as many of you know, got his start in the Croton Shakespeare Festival)

And there he was----IN THE 2000 FILM, "A FATHER'S CHOICE".

The fast-paced city life of two sisters is turned upside down when they are sent to live in the country with their father after their mother is killed.

Predictable yes, but a great family story and the kind one seldom sees these days.....more's the pity....it starred Peter Strauss, Mary McDonnell, and Michelle Trachtenberg - available on Amazon

WEDNESDAY SOCIAL MEDIA, PRE-SUMMERFEST

MANY of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it---and are sometimes sent screenshots:

*****STILL TRENDING---Some really intense commentary about "Dr. Jill's" new book, revisionist Biden history, and more. We'll skip the chatter and instead refer you to the cartoons posted (Pride Month too) of Margolis & Cox Margolis & Cox - Political Cartoons Daily & Weekly – Townhall and a fab post from ETHICS ALARMS--- THANK YOU TO REDPAPYRUS for picking it up--SEE Ethics Villain: Jill Biden | Ethics Alarms

Those with an interest in seeing more will have no trouble finding it...most of us, however, have no desire to hear more from his woman and her family. ...let alone plunking down cash for her book.....why not consider a donation to the charity of your choice instead. (OR you'll find a lot of them listed here)

*****LOTS of complaints still that so much news/information these days requires a paid subscription. Yes, that's true. Spend carefully. Spend wisely. There are of course still many free, advertisement-less options out there and of course, print media........

*****LOTS OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE "CO-OPTATION OF SUMMERFEST" AND FOLKS CLAIMING THEY WILL SKIP THE FESTIVITIES. You can easily find this on your own.

*****STILL TRENDING, TDS, BOTS, ANONYMOUS ACCOUNTS, LOCAL POT SHOP, THE FAILURES OF SOCIALISM, and REPEATED, BOT-LIKE CLAIMS THAT ONLY THEY "POSSESS THE MORAL HIGH GROUND" when it comes to gender, sexuality, race, yada yada yada.......you'll have to find this on your own. We're taking a break for a few days to support Summerfest fundraisers and June religious events (it is after all, dedicated to the Sacred Heart liturgically).

*****ALMOST FORGOT! CANADA! EverythingCroton: O CANADA....THE "MASS GRAVE HOAX IS FALLING APART...WHO WILL ANSWER FOR THE BURNT CHURCHES? THE GLOBE AND MAIL ISSUES A DEFICIENT APOLOGY

EVER WONDER WHY...

A reader recalled an interview with one of Croton's most notable residents: George Biddle--but couldn't find it---here you go--from 1963: BIDDLE ORAL HISTORY.....

Biddle was an American painter, muralist and lithographer, best known for his social realism and combat art. A childhood friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, he played a major role in establishing the Federal Art Project (1935–43), which employed artists under the Works Progress Administration. HEAR THE INTERVIEW AT

IN THE NEWS---TRENDING ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL--KARMELO ANTHONY'S SELF DEFENSE CLAM IN STABBNG OF AUSTIN METCALF

Karmelo Anthony’s self-defense claim in the stabbing death of fellow teen Austin Metcalf in Texas won’t get him acquitted of murder charges — in spite of raising $600,000 for a big-name lawyer, a veteran defense attorney claimed. The 18-year-old from Frisco, who is black, is charged with first-degree murder for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Metcalf, who died in his twin brother’s arms on April 2, 2025.

Return to the beaches! D-DAY - June 6, 1944

Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 2:00 pm with Historian Phil Devlin---The Allied assault on German-occupied Normandy, France was unlike any other, in a war unlike any other. A force of nearly 160,000 landed on the beaches that day, including 73,000 Americans; more than 57,000 arrived by sea, and more than 15,000 landed by parachute and glider. And this was merely the initial invasion. Along those 50 miles of desolate beach, more than 10,000 allied Troops would be casualties on that single day, MORE AT First Saturdays at the Museum: D-Day, Return to the Beaches - River Journal Online - News for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Cortlandt and Peekskill

O CANADA....THE "MASS GRAVE HOAX IS FALLING APART...WHO WILL ANSWER FOR THE BURNT CHURCHES? THE GLOBE AND MAIL ISSUES A DEFICIENT APOLOGY

We've been following what was certainly an obvious hoax from day thanks to friends and family in Canada, the antics of then prime minister Trudeau, and the watchful eye of local REDPAPAYRUS (our last post was in late April here).

And now the latest--trending on social media----THE "MASS GRAVE
HOAX IS FALLING APART...WHO WILL ANSWER FOR THE BURNT CHURCHES? THE GLOBE AND MAIL ISSUES A DEFICIENT APOLOGY

Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail issued a sniveling apology Sunday for perpetuating the false claim that Native American children had been buried in a “mass grave” near residential school grounds.

Former chief of the Kamloops Indian Band, Rosanne Casimir, published a press release in May 2021 claiming to have obtained “confirmation” of the remains of 215 students of the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Following the announcement, a wave of arson against Catholic and other Christian churches ensued. MORE AT The 'Mass Grave' Hoax Is Falling Apart. Who Will Answer For The Burnt Churches?
