PHOTOS MERCHANT MARINE CEREMONY IN CROTON
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.
It was bright, dry, and sunny--albeit cold--for today's Merchant Marine Flag Ceremony. American Legion Fox-Eklof Post 505 hosted the ceremony to honor the service and sacrifice of the United States Merchant Marines, including Croton native Richard Pusatere, who served as the Chief Engineer of the SS El Faro, which was lost at sea on October 1, 2015 after encountering Hurricane Joaquin en route to San Juan. Following the ceremony, lunch and refreshments were served at Post 505.

#75, FOR OUR FAITH-BASED READERS & HISTORY BUFFS TOO--NICARAGUA'S CATHOLIC CHURCH CRACKDOWN SPREADS FEAR & LINCOLN REMEMBERANCE EVENT
Nicaragua's Catholic Church Crackdown Spreads Fear--Sunday, 11 February 2024 10:34 PM EST--Nineteen priests kicked out of the country, dozens of incidents of harassment and church desecrations, rural areas lacking worship and social services: the situation for Catholic clergy and faithful in Nicaragua is only worsening in 2024, according to exiled priests, laypeople in the Central American country and human rights advocates. The fear of the ongoing crackdown by President Daniel Ortega – on the Catholic Church in particular but not sparing evangelicals – has become so pervasive that it is silencing criticism of the authoritarian government and even mentions of the repression from the pulpit.
