BUT....this email caught our attention---APPARENTLY, this news is trending on a few of the Croton pages.....I don't think many of us were surprised....perhaps you will be.....HARRY ENTEN, CNN -- MORE AT Townhall.com (@townhallcom) / X
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MAYOR, VILLAGE BOARD AND VILLAGE MANAGER FROM JESSICA DIECKMAN
An open letter to the Mayor, Village Board and Village Manager,
As you know this year marks America’s 250th birthday. Croton has a very rich and deep history in the Revolutionary War that’s critical to the development and growth of America. Yet our village has zero signs celebrating this Revolutionary War history, and we don’t have any banners celebrating America’s 250th birthday.
This is unlike all the other towns around us, who have proudly hung banners and flags to celebrate their Revolutionary War history for residents and visitors alike to appreciate.
Here in Croton we are quick to watch the village raise a pride flag and name part of a street after a Communist activist but we see the village ignoring America’s birthday. Without that there would be no pride flags or communist activists. There would be no freedom of speech.
We should immediately address this discrepancy and get banners up, and put up historical signs touting things like George Washington staying in Van Cortlandt Manor during and after the Revolutionary War and using it as key station for safety during the war. We should have signs about how patriots living in Croton spotted the British ship The Vulture and armed up and immediately took action to fight against them. The village does have a website page about this.
Regardless, does the village plan to acknowledge and celebrate America’s 250th birthday this year and if so, how? Where will the decorations and historical signs go?
Please see photos attached from other towns showing their decorations.
I really hate to see Croton on Hudson miss out on this historical opportunity to showcase our place in the creation of America.
For an excellent book about the Revolutionary War. I highly recommend 1776 by well known historian David McCullough.
Sincerely,
Jessica Dieckman

UPDATED THE WHITE HOUSE UFC TERRORIST PLOT ECHOED "NO KINGS' TALKING POINTS. CHRISTOPHER TREMOGLIE
The thing that liberals, Democrats, left-wing think tanks, and others on the Left say never happens, happened again: the scourge of left-wing political violence.
Thankfully, the FBI and other law enforcement officials prevented a tragedy from happening on Sunday, uncovering a terrorist plot to cause death and destruction at the UFC Freedom 250 event. However, as fortunate as everyone was that the latest attempt at left-wing destruction was foiled, it raises the question: When will this country demand an end to the threat of death, assassination, and other devastating left-wing violence by the “No Kings” crowd?

PARENTS ARE WAKING UP ALL OVER--A LETTER TO THE EDITOR---LAUREN CONNELL--LESS SCREENS, MORE LEARNING
From the River Journal: PARENTS ARE WAKING UP ALL OVER
To the Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown Community,
I am working with a growing group of parents, caregivers, and family members who would like the TUFSD Administration and Board of Education to reevaluate the use of screens as an educational tool. Right now, our children are given screens in school at all grade levels, and they are often required for homework in higher grade levels. Yet research shows that “hands-on,” pencil-and-paper learning is more effective and better for children in many cases. We are advocating for greater oversight, more thoughtful planning, and an update to our current policies that reflect day-to-day reality.
We are not anti-tech; we are pro-learning. At the same time, we want our ....READ MORE AT Less Screens: More Learning - Advocating For More Targeted Technology Use at TUFSD Schools - River Journal Online - News for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Cortlandt and Peekskill

SARCONE--OFFICIALS SHARE SENTENCE FOR MAN THAT ASSAULTED AGENT
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.
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Federal agents shared that Michel Manuel Garcia Rojas was sentenced to 51 months in prison for assaulting a federal agent. Rojas plead guilty on February 9. He was originally arrested by Rotterdam police for trying to steal $150 worth of groceries while trying to hide some food at the register under a child.
Because Rojas illegally entered the country in 2023, federal agents were allowed to take custody of Rojas. First Assistant US Attorney John Sarcone said the incident took place when Rojas was being transferred to federal agents.
“Any defendant who seeks inspiration from Mr. Garcia Rojas should be on notice,” said Sarcone. “If you assault a federal agent or any member of law enforcement, this administration will leverage the weight of the federal government.” MORE AT Officials share sentence for man that assaulted agent
