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.

In New York, Monarch butterflies begin their annual fall migration in mid-August. These butterflies are the great-great-grandchildren of the monarchs that migrated to Mexico last fall.
Here are some ways you can help monarchs: Turn a portion of your lawn into a wildflower meadow to provide food (nectar); plant milkweed or other native wildflowers.
Delay mowing areas with milkweed until later in the fall.
Avoid using pesticides—they kill all life-stages of monarchs (egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and adult).
Report sightings of adults or caterpillars online. View a map of the sightings so far this year—caterpillars have already been spotted across the northeast!

Chrysalis Stage --Have you seen a small green pod about an inch-long? It could be a monarch caterpillar (larva) after it enters the pupa stage and is now in a chrysalis. If you see one, try not to disturb it. They will find a safe place, often under a milkweed leaf to enter this stage in their development, which lasts about 9-14 days. Sometimes they will pupate hanging under eaves, decks, other garden plants, or even on window screens!

DAILY VOICE - GREEN CARD MARRIAGE RING: OSSINING WOMAN CHARGED IN 1,000+ SHAM WEDDING SCHEME
Back in 2020 or so, local social media was rife with rumors about this; most commentary was dismissed as conspiracy (or worse) and conversation was essentially driven underground. This, however, popped up at the DAILY VOICE today:
Eleven New Yorkers have been charged in an alleged international immigration fraud scheme that arranged more than 1,000 sham marriages and collected tens of millions of dollars, federal prosecutors said.
The defendants were arrested on Wednesday, Aug. 12, after a two-count federal indictment was unsealed, according to the US Department of Justice. The network operated for more than a decade and arranged sham marriages between foreign nationals, primarily citizens of China, and US citizens to fraudulently obtain immigration status, prosecutors allege. Those indicted include---read more at Green Card Marriage Ring: Ossining Woman Charged In 1,000+ Sham Wedding Scheme, Feds Say - NewsBreak

MORE ON FLORENCE LABADIE, HER CROTON CONNECTION
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.
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.....
