CROSSING DELANCEY
Another one for your movie bucket list: CROSSING DELANCEY--which we watched with friends this weekend. Wonderful cast---Peter Riegert (yes he played Boone in Animal House), Amy Irving (who won a Golden Globe for her performance), and the great Reizl Bozyk as Bubbe "Ida" Kantor. See the trailer at (5129) Crossing Delancey (1998) Official Trailer - Amy Irving, Peter Riegert Movie HD - YouTube
YADA YADA YADA THIS FINE LABOR DAY MONDAY
*****Lots of chatter on some of the German Hudson Valley facebook pages about the Afd landslide win----if you can understand German and/or want a really deep dive, some of these pages might be worth signing up with; but either way, you'll have no trouble finding coverage---here's Yahoo's take
And chatter about AND LINK TO--the upcoming POUGHKEEPSKIE OKTOBERFEST; this is one of the best authentic events: OKTOBERFEST 2026!! 11 Sep
****HOT across local and non-local pages and media--STILL--THE JASON ARDAY CAMBRIDGE scandal. You'll have no trouble finding all this just about everywhere.....youtube, facebook, X, Instagram.......As for Arday's book, it has struggled significantly to find a mainstream audience in the US.
****HOT across local and non-local pages and media--STILL--THE JASON ARDAY CAMBRIDGE scandal. You'll have no trouble finding all this just about everywhere.....youtube, facebook, X, Instagram.......As for Arday's book, it has struggled significantly to find a mainstream audience in the US.
The UK roll-out started 8/27, and it hasn't done much better there for all the folks that showed up to protest. YOU CAN FIND REVIEWS ON YOUTUBE; they speak for themselves. Indeed, despite a highly publicized roll-out by Simon & Schuster, initial market data paints a stark picture of its commercial reception---let it suffice to say the numbers are dismal.
****LOTS OF CHATTER about the village---STILL---being essentially divided--with Harmon being slated for multi-family, affordable housing, ADU's, pot shops, etc. Too much to go into. All easy to find depending on what pages you belong to or have access to. The Cortese development is not on the 9/8 pb meeting agenda but another ADU (some interesting site plans worth looking at) and environmental law review is; see more courtesy of the CROTON.NEWS SITE AT EverythingCroton: FROM THE CROTON.NEWS SITE--PLANNING BOARD TO REVIEW SITE PLAN OVERHAUL PROMPTED BY STATE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW CHANGES, ANOTHER ADU
***CHATTER CONTINUES ABOUT THE TOWN OF CORTLANDT'S 250TH efforts---largely viewed as "exceptional" and "outstanding"---with major kudos still to town officials, Supervisor Becker and staff.....

****LOTS OF CHATTER ABOUT THE CROTON HARMON SCHOOL DISTRICT; some hopeful; some not; it depends on where you look
****MISCELLENEOUS: Pigeons, the upcoming election, questions about who is running the Ali Jaffery campaign (don't know, contact the Croton Dems instead???), lots of online enthusiasm and endorsements for Lawler and the work of Sarcone etal.
Bikes, pedal or battery powered--are taking quite the beating, lots of anecdotal near-accident reports, and moving along, the Pennsylvania fb "measles watching people" seem to love Alex Berenson's posts on the subject
And lots of chatter about Marine Dakota Meyer on the Clancy mistrial and the three dead children--heads up, it's brutal. The full video is on youtube; there are limits to how much can be posted on fb: Dakota Meyer Reacts to Lindsay Clancy MISTRIAL After 11-1 Split

CROTON-HARMON SCHOOLS DROP TO 295TH IN STATE AFTER NY REFUSES TO SHARE AP DATA---BOARD UNVEILS SWEEPING K-2 IPAD ELIMINATION---FROM THE NEW CROTON.NEWS SITE
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.
This has become a wonderful resource. Though the news is sometimes not good.
The Croton-Harmon school district dropped from 80th to 295th in the state in U.S. News rankings after New York refused to share AP data. The board also unveiled sweeping technology changes, including the near-elimination of iPads in grades K-2.
Aug 27, 2026·By Matthew Broudy·Full
The Croton-Harmon school district plunged from 80th to 295th in the state and from roughly 800th to 9,000th nationally in the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings — not because student performance fell, but because New York State refused to hand over Advanced Placement exam data to the publication.

SURGING E-BIKE CRASHES HIGHLIGHT EMERGING ROADWAY CRISIS
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.
An issue of intense local discussion given our PROJECT MOVER, "shared streets", recent accident(s), yada yada yada --- see article below (The Pleasantville situation can be found here and here).
E-bikes and e-scooters are surging in popularity, alongside an alarming spike in crashes and injuries associated with their use.
Battery-powered bicycles and scooters — which fall under a category called micromobility devices — can be fast, efficient and affordable modes of transportation. But unsafe riding and driving behaviors, confusion about where certain devices are allowed and limited public understanding regarding their sale and use have created a new traffic safety crisis on our roadways.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, emergency department visits nationwide for injuries caused by micromobility crashes rose from 37,300 in 2017 to 149,100 in 2024, a 300% increase. Over that period, at least 533 people were killed, with fatalities rising from five in 2017 to 135 in 2024. MORE AT Surging E-Bike Crashes Highlight Emerging Roadway Crisis - Your AAA Network
