BY SPECIAL REQUEST---FROM 2013--DEDICATION OF THE JAMES R. MOORE GYNMNASIUM AT HOLY NAME OF MARY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

BY SPECIAL REQUEST---FROM 2013--DEDICATION OF THE JAMES R. MOORE GYNMNASIUM AT HOLY NAME OF MARY    

Current and former Croton residents gathered together today at Holy Name of Mary to honor Jim Moore – and to celebrate the dedication of Holy Name's Gym in his honor--now to be forever known as The James R. Moore Gymnasium.

Moore has made significant contributions to the Croton and Holy Name of Mary communities. He founded the HNM CYO basketball program in 1965 and served as director/coach for 24 years. Additionally, Jim founded the Croton Flag Football program in 1968 and the Croton Recreation Basketball Program in 1969. He was a minor league and little league baseball coach in the 60’s and 70’s, and has been a member of the Knights of Columbus since 1951. He has also been an active member of the council since moving to Croton in 1960, and has served as its Grand Knight for 3 years.

(On another note, Jim was also a tireless advocate for the successful grass roots closure of the Metro Enviro transfer station. He helped spearhead resistance among Croton's seniors to a planned village deal that would have permitted the station to remain open despite numerous violations. When a second attempt was made to re-open the site to yet another troubled operator, Jim Moore was right there with the rest of his fellow citizens--helping our officials to just say no.)

Explosive video shows a riot breaking out in Atlanta following a protest against fatal police shooting at the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center that has been nicknamed "Cop City."

On Wednesday, police fatally shot activist Manuel Esteban Paez Teran. The 26-year-old staged a protest at the future site of a planned public safety training center to be constructed in a southeast Atlanta forest.

Teran – who called himself "Tortuguita" – reportedly refused to comply with law enforcement, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Teran allegedly shot a Georgia State Patrol Trooper at Intrenchment Creek Park. Other law enforcement officers returned fire, struck Teran, and killed him.

Protests against the police shooting were organized for downtown Atlanta at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Protesters held signs that read: "They Can’t Kill Us All” and “Trees Give Life, Police Take It.” There were also chants of "Stop Cop City" and "If they build it, we will burn it." MORE AT Video shows Atlanta Cop City protests with fire, fireworks - TheBlaze

Pennsylvania school district encouraging teachers to not disclose students' gender identity to parents--Story by Landon Mion • 1h ago

A school district in Pennsylvania recently released a proposed policy that prohibits educators from informing parents of their child's gender identity or preferred pronouns unless required by law.

Pronoun usage, preferred bathrooms and diversity training for staff are all covered under the new policy.

The guidelines offer definitions of various terms on gender identity, including "biological sex," "gender fluid," "genderqueer" and "questioning."

In the proposed policy, teachers and staff are advised against informing parents of their child’s gender identity or pronoun usage unless required by law. When talking to parents, the guide states school personnel should solely focus on addressing school related topics.  MORE AT Pennsylvania school district encouraging teachers to not disclose students' gender identity to parents (msn.com)
