THE PATCH, ONE NASTY POLITICAL YARD SIGN CAN CHANGE HOW A WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD FEELS: BLOCK TALK - SIGNS TEST FREE SPEECH
As many of you know, assorted lawn signs (not going to name the candidates or party--some of you know who they are) were once again placed in village rights of way in recent days. Thank you to staff for removing these in a timely fashion (they are a code violation when placed in rights of way).
Yes, it's that time of year--silly POLITICAL LAWN SIGN season...A reader forwarded this article from THE PATCH. It's very interesting. READ MORE AT Political Yard Signs Test Free Speech, Neighborhood Etiquette: Block Talk | Across America, US Patch

ANOTHER MOVIE FOR YOUR BUCKET LIST---GLORIA SWANSON, WILLIAM HOLDEN, 1951, SUNSET BOUEVARD
We had our semi-monthly MOVIE NIGHT yesterday---and chose "SUNSET BOULEVARD" starring Croton's Gloria Swanson and "Man's Man" William Holden. All we have to say is WOW, it never gets old. Von Stroheim is wonderful too.
And while Swanson did not win the Oscar for her iconic role as Norma Desmond, she did pick up the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama. (The Best Actress Oscar at the 23rd Academy Awards went to Judy Holliday for her performance in Born Yesterday)
Highly recommend the film. Here's a previous post, film review, and photos at EverythingCroton: 1950--MORE ON CROTON'S GLORIA SWANSON & HER COMEBACK FILM SUNSET BOULEVARD

DEFENDING EDUCATION IN THE NEWS--THAT CALIFORNIA DECISION--COLLEGES BLOCKED FROM PUNISHING STUDENTS FOR "MISGENDERING" CLASSMATES UNDER WOKE POLICY
*******************************
DEFENDING EDUCATION IN THE NEWS--THAT CALIFORNIA DECISION--COLLEGES BLOCKED FROM PUNISHING STUDENTS FOR "MISGENDERING" CLASSMATES UNDER WOKE POLICY
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the University of California from enforcing parts of its transgender harassment policy against members of a conservative education group, finding they are likely to succeed on claims that the rules violate the First Amendment.
US District Judge Fred W. Slaughter issued a preliminary injunction preventing UC from punishing members of Defending Education for using, “in a commonplace way,” names or pronouns corresponding with a transgender person’s sex assigned at birth rather than their gender identity, per the Los Angeles Times.

SARCONE ETAL.---NY MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO THREATENING TO KILL PRESIDENT TRUMP IN SOCIAL MEDIA POST
Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
NEWS 6---EXCERPTED---ALBANY, NY (WRGB) — A Binghamton man pleaded guilty in federal court to making threats to kill President Trump earlier this week.
Jeffrey Scott Hamm, Jr., 33, from Binghamton, New York, pleaded guilty on September 16, to transmitting threats to injure another in interstate commerce.Part of his guilty plea, Hamm admitted that on multiple dates in early 2026 he used his cellphone to access the Internet and post comments to an online video sharing platform threatening to kill or injure President Trump and ICE agents..........
First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III stated: “Threats to kill or injure President Trump or any federal law enforcement officers in my District will not be tolerated. As soon as we learned that the defendant had posted these violent threats on the internet, FBI agents working with my Office quickly located Hamm and arrested him.”
"The American public needs to know online threats of violence are illegal and will not be tolerated," said Craig Tremaroli, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Albany Field Office.

TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THIS FINE SATURDAY NIGHT
Instead, many of us have been enjoying the continued charms of a fresh tomato harvest, the ClothingFest at ST. AUGUSTINE'S EPISCOPAL, and helped a friend set up for today's village tag sale. Got some fab finds around town too. More on that soon.
In a quick nutshell---it is after all, Saturday night:
--------Dominating a dozen local---and not so local---facebook pages and forums--lots of chatter about the landmark Defending Education/Croton Harmon School district event earlier this week. It's in the lawyer's hands now, no sense re-hashing the chatter; here's what's documented and includes The Gazette. AND THIS IS A COMPLIATION OF LINKS TO ASSORTED BREAKING COVERAGE--GO TO EverythingCroton: FROM NICKI NEILY--DEFENDING EDUCATION--CROTON HARMON
-------Seems to be some genuine confusion and/or inaccurate info/SOCIAL MEDIA MEMES about how many Measles cases there are here in NY; this is the NYS tracker---3 cases as of 8/12: EverythingCroton: NYS MEASLES TRACKER AND THAT BRADY BUNCH CLIP
------AGAIN it is being revived---chatter-wise---that Mamdani "SHOULD" arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is scheduled to arrive in New York City on Thursday 9/24. UH NO THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. He will be speaking at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) at UN headquarters. 2:00 PM EST
-----LOTS OF POSITIVE CHATTER ABOUT THE NEW FARRINGTON STAIRS, NOT SO MUCH POSITIVE CHATTER ABOUT E-BIKES AND SCOOTERS.....YADA YADA YADA.......
THAT'S ALL FOLKS ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA FRONT UNTIL MID-WEEK OR SO

FAB EPHEMERA FROM THE 2026 VILLAGE-WIDE TAG SALE
Fab Ephemera finds at today's Village Wide Tag Sale....one of the nicest things about this kind of event is that it often proves the old adage true---this being: ONE MAN'S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE....
This year was no exception. Your editor, who has a fondness for old magazines, cook books and postcards, came across this beauty---it's been scanned and the image cleaned up for your viewing pleasure. Click on the photo.
The back reads: MADISON SQUARE PARK AT 5TH AVE. It gives a very "Gilded Age" impression and is most likely a reproduction made in the 50's of the original........Stay tuned. There will be more. Our readers did very well too and promise to share their treasures.
REMINDER--DIG INTO ARCHAEOLOGY DAY! 10/4
