LOUISIANA FARMER FACING ECONOMIC HIT AFTER SOCIAL MEDIA POST TOUTING HIS CATHOLIC FAITH CALLED OUT PRIDE MONTH

Louisiana farmer facing economic hit after social media post touted his Catholic faith, called out Pride month--A Louisiana farm is facing devastating backlash for its pro-faith social media post.

Owner of the Backwater Foei Gras farmstead, Ross McKnight, has lost two-thirds of his restaurant business after he made an Instagram post commemorating the Catholic celebration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, leaving his “tiny” family-owned farm under intense economic pressure.

In the post, he referred to the “attempted coup of the month,” referring to Pride Month. He then suggested “some antidotes to a false pride.” Louisiana farmer facing economic hit after social media post touted his Catholic faith, called out Pride month - Wall Street PR

Welcome to The New 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.

A reader was trying to remember some sort of midwifery practice that used to exist in the upper village.  It could only be.....JOURNEY TO BIRTH....

FAST FORWARD to the recent request: if there were any photos a "local midwife business" that dressed in character from the BCC series CALL THE MIDWIFE  and "marched in a Summerfest parade".

Indeed there are! JOURNEY TO BIRTH MIDWIFERY was based in the Upper Village; one of the midwives was Susan Schmidt, the wife of former mayor Dr. Gregory Schmidt.

Click on the photos below from Summerfests 2015 and 2014 featuring the midwives and more from JOURNEY TO BIRTH (NO LONGER ACTIVE to our knowledge) in their homage to the BBC series character attire. The t.v. series, assorted seasons, is available on Amazon.

OBITUARY--Charles J. Timmons--JULY 22, 1932 – JUNE 8, 2023

IN THE CARE OF Edward F. Carter Funeral Home

We are deeply saddened to be sharing the news of the passing of Charles J. Timmons (Charlie), on June 8, 2023 at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Montrose, NY. Charles passed away after a short illness. He was a beloved Husband, Dad, Pop, and Grandpa.

Charles was born in Ossining, NY on July 22, 1932 to Charles L. Timmons and Mary Ryan Timmons of Croton-on-Hudson, NY. Charles was raised in Croton, where he lived for most of his life, and was one of seven brothers, Joseph, James, Thomas, Robert, and Patrick. He graduated from Croton Harmon High School where he was affectionately known as "Goose".

Upon graduating from high school, Charles enlisted in the Navy and was stationed on the USS Kearsarge for 4 years. Following his military service, Charles was employed as a corrections officer at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, NY, where he remained for 32 years, until his retirement in 1987.

Although Charles was an avid golfer who took advantage of every free minute to get out on the course, his most favorite pastime was spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Charles also loved spending time vacationing in Kennebunkport, ME.

Charles met the love of his life, Leah, in 1983 and they married two years later in Buchanan, NY, where they then settled.

Charles is survived by his wife, Leah, of 38 years, his children, Donna Anderson (husband Michael DeWan) of Madison, WI, Kevin Timmons (wife Ruth) of Riverview, FL, Dawn Fucheck (husband Ray) of Newburgh, NY, George Smith (wife Victoria) of Buchanan, NY, and Laura Watt (husband John) of Goshen, NY, 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his one remaining brother Paul Timmons of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Many thanks to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Montrose, NY for the wonderful , loving care they provided to Charles during his illness.  In lieu of flowers, we ask that you contribute to the WoundedWarrierProject.org
