DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY TRENDING ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA, LEAF BLOWERS, PRES. TRUMP'S ROCKLAND VISIT
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY continues to trend---June 23, 2026 is shown for the primary: The Democratic primary in New York, including Westchester’s NY‑17 race to choose a challenger to Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, is officially scheduled for June 23, 2026.
Early voting: June 13–21, 2026 in Westchester County.
Considerable discussion as to why the Westchester County Democratic Executive Committee declined to endorse a candidate, and some of the arguments seem bot-driven and anonymous. Again do your own due diligence.

LARCHMONT BUILDING DEPT. SHAKE UP WITH A MENTION OF CROTON
When Dan Gray left the position in 2023, the village decided to fold the job into the Village Engineer’s position, essentially combining the two. Then a consultant recently recommended eliminating the full-time Village Engineer’s position as an efficiency measure, which the Board of Trustees has done. Perhaps seeing the writing on the wall, Village Engineer Vincent “Vinny” Salanitro, resigned in late 2025 to become the Village Engineer for Croton-on-Hudson......SEE MORE AT Larchmont Building Department Shake Up - Larchmont Loop

AT LAST AND JUST IN TIME FOR FATHER'S DAY 2028---ALEX BERENSON'S "THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO
MAY 24, 2026 ALEX BERENSON
In December, I told you I was writing what I called a “manifesto on fatherhood” - an argument against the way our culture has devalued fathers and stoicism in parenting, combined with specific tips about ways to be a better dad.
Now the piece, called (wait for it) “The Fatherhood Manifesto,” is done. It’s over 11,000 words - 50 booklet-sized pages. I’m releasing it June 7, two weeks before Father’s Day. I’ll have more to say about it, including an excerpt, and why I wrote it, soon.
For now, let me say this: Over decades as an author and journalist, I have learned that when I (or anyone) puts out something like this - a fresh, provocative, unexpected piece of writing - there’s no way to predict how it will do. Readers may embrace the idea, or ignore it. No one can know until it’s set free in the world.

One of the very first "all In German with subtitles" films your editor ever saw was this one at a small but very nice art theatre on the upper east side. Domrose was wonderful in the part. FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EFSP:
On 15 May 2026, German actress Angelica Domröse (1941) passed away in Berlin. She was one of the most famous actresses of former East Germany. Domröse became a superstar through her role as the young mother Paula in the cult classic Die Legende von Paul und Paula (1973). The actress was 85. SEE AND READ MORE AT
