BLESSING OF THE QUILTS AT OUR SAVIOUR 9/7 AND....

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.

TWO BIG EVENTS AT OUR SAVIOUR LUTHERAN---We have two big events 10:00 a.m., September 7....The first is the blessing of quilts and kits. The church pews will be lined with all the quilts and kits created this year as we bless them and send them to Lutheran World Relief for distribution around the world. We want to thank all those who contributed to making everything and who keep us going with this worldwide focus.

The second is the visit by the Metro NY Synod Bishop, who will be our guest preacher. Bishop Katrina Foster was elected in May of this year and will be our Bishop for the next six years. We have not had a Bishop visit since our 90th anniversary and it will be an opportunity to hear her perspective.

TDS IS REAL---MIRANDA DEVINE: HYPOCRITICAL DEMS ARE PLAYING A DANGEROUS GAME BY FANTASIZING ABOUT TRUMP'S DEMISE AND CONDONING POLITICAL VIOLENCE

Over the Labor Day weekend, instead of enjoying the last days of summer with family and friends, Democrats and other Trump-deranged folk had nothing better to do than indulge in sick fantasies about the president’s death.

Hashtags like #trumpisdead and #whereistrump trended on X, with countless TikToks, Google searches and posts saying “TRUMP DIED” garnering millions of likes and views.

This was not a harmless meme or politics as usual. It was seeded by anonymous left-wing social media accounts and amplified by journalists and influencers to create a permission structure to fantasize about Trump’s demise.

CHRONICLE EDITORIAL: WHY DOES THE CROTON-HARMON SCHOOL DISTRICT WASTE TAXPAYER FUNDS ON EXPENSIVE FOIL SEARCHES RATHER THAN SIMPLY ANSWER DIRECT QUESTIONS?

THE CROTON CHRONICLE MICHAEL BALTER


This past July, the Chronicle published an editorial entitled “Croton-Harmon school district's disdain for the First Amendment costs staff time and taxpayer money.” In it, we gave the history of the Croton-Harmon school district’s refusal to answer often very straightforward questions from local media about relevant issues relating to the schools and their functions.

In talking to parents, we have learned that they also often face an obstinate lack of transparency, despite frequent statements by the school board president to the contrary (transparency and responsiveness were also issues in last November’s school board election.)

In the July editorial, we gave two examples of where the Chronicle was forced to file New York Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests to try to get at information we had first requested in simple emails to the district clerk. One concerned the installation of air conditioning (AC) at the elementary school, and the other concerned the development of guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by students in their school work.
