CROTON EMS--SPOTLIGHT ON MATTHEA SCHOR

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.

Meet Matthea Schor, our latest member spotlight! A lifelong Croton resident and 2021 graduate of CHHS, Matthea joined Croton EMS as a sophomore in our Youth Corps. She went on to serve as Youth Corps Captain for two years before becoming the youngest EMT in Croton EMS history at just 17, after New York State began allowing 17-year-olds to certify during the pandemic! As an adult member, Matthea has been very active on numerous committees. Though she's lived largely out of state for the past five years, she still runs calls when home and joins meetings remotely. Matthea graduated summa cum laude from Emory University in 2025 with a degree in Biology and Nutrition, where she researched cystic fibrosis and nutrition and gave oral presentations at national conferences, including the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference. During her gap year, she worked as an ER tech in Columbus, GA, and served as a designated religious group leader for the U.S. Army at Fort Benning. Matthea just started at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in an accelerated three-year MD program, to be followed by residency in Emergency Medicine at Jackson Memorial Hospital. When she's not studying or running calls, the future Dr. Schor enjoys working out, going to the beach, and baking sourdough. PHOTO AT Facebook

THE CORNELL ALLEGATION

Many of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it....So far, some of us have resisted the YADA YADA YADA of the bots and a few of the more virulent commenters (which are deleted on sight) ----- but as usual RED PAPYRUS has found something which captures the moment and is worth sharing.  See below---IT IS HOWEVER, BEHIND PAYWALL, but you'll soon get the immediate gist of it all from the pen of Tiana Lowe Doescher

I do not literally mean that every hot take I’ve seen about the recently revived 2024 Cornell rape allegation is terrible. Zachary Faria is correct that Democrats are accepting the accuser’s newly filed lawsuit far too credulously, without vetting Jane Doe’s claims, which would be galling if true. Defense attorney Andrew Fleischman is also right that Doe’s original statement, as summarized by the police, does not describe conduct that meets the stringent standards for criminal rape under New York law.

But I insist that everyone calm the hell down about this case and wait for more information because the drip-drip-drip of leaks and quotations makes clear that we do not have the full story. All of your takes about this Cornell rape allegation are terrible

AND NOW FOR THE HISTORY OF CANDY CORN...

Love it....hate it....Just as Peeps are most traditionally associated with Easter, Candy Corn is most traditionally associated with Halloween.

It has had, however, a fascinating history; read all about it here.

On another note, residents recall their parents buying everything from Trick or Treat bags to Collegeville Costumes at Pop Berger's, the Grand Union, Woolworth's in the Beach Shopping Center, or Elliott's......

A time when Halloween wasn't so "complicated".....for some folks at least.....

As one reader put it, "my daughter wants to be a Geisha ever since she came across a clip from Madame Butterfly.  The in-laws said, do you think that's a good idea? Won't other people frown on your *cultural appropriation*?  I haven't stopped laughing since.  The wig came from Oriental Trading and what will pass for kimono fabric was found at Walmart".

BREAKING JUDGE WILLIAM SULLIVAN JUST DENIED LINDSAY CLANCY'S MOTION FOR A NOT GUILTY VERDICT

Christina Aguayo News

2 hours ago

#BREAKING Judge William Sullivan just denied Lindsay Clancy’s motion for a not guilty verdict.
Judge Sullivan ruling that prosecutors put enough evidence in front of a jury to keep the triple-m*rder case alive. #Massachusetts

In a five-page order from Plymouth Superior Court, Sullivan wrote that physical and circumstantial evidence would let a rational juror find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Clancy k*lled her children and was criminally responsible.

 
He said she was the only person home on Jan. 24, 2023, when 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan were strangled with exercise bands at the family’s Duxbury home. NORE AT Facebook
