UPDATE FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE: PARENTS DEFENDING EDUCATION ASKS FEDERAL JUDGE FOR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST EIGHT DISTRICT POLICIES

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.

Update: Parents Defending Education asks federal judge for a preliminary injunction against eight district policies.

PDE lays out its arguments in a 33 page memorandum of law and accompanying exhibits. But the organization's lawyers seem to realize that they need to overturn some Second District precedents first.

JUN 19, 2024

For reasons that are not entirely clear, the federal court docket for the Southern District of New York has been belatedly updated with a June 13 notice of motion for a preliminary injunction against enforcement by the district of eight policies being challenged in a lawsuit brought by Parents Defending Education on June 12.

The plea:

“Plaintiff requests an injunction prohibiting Defendants from taking any action to enforce against students the prohibitions on “harassment” and materially similar terms contained in District Policies 0110, 0110-R, 0115, 115-R, 0115-E, 5300, 4526, and 4526-R.”

A WORD FROM THE NYSDEC: IF YOU CARE, LEAVE IT THERE

If You Care, Leave It There!

Have you ever come upon a fawn, or pair of fawns, curled up and motionless without any sign of an adult doe around? Before assuming fawns are orphaned, consider the following:

White-tailed deer give birth to fawns in April, May, and sometimes into June. Newborn fawns will be hidden away while the doe is out feeding. Fawns will lie quietly, often not moving to avoid attracting predators. A doe will only return to feed her fawns every 4-5 hours. Sometimes, the doe will move them to a new location during the cover of twilight. After a few weeks, the fawns will be strong enough to accompany the mother, and agile enough to outrun most predators.

If you find a fawn alone and quiet but alert, it’s likely healthy and being cared for. If you’re concerned about the fawn’s wellbeing, observe from a distance over a period of hours, keeping children and pets away. Avoid repeated visitation, adult does may not approach if people are close by. If someone has unfortunately already handled a fawn, quickly return the fawn to the exact spot where it was found and leave the area; the adult doe will return in search of her fawn once the area is safe.

If you do encounter a fawn that is obviously injured or orphaned, call a Wildlife Rehabilitator for advice and help. They are the only people legally allowed to receive and treat distressed wildlife. They have the experience, expertise, and facilities to successfully treat and release wild animals back into the wild, where they belong.

THOSE WILD AND CRAZY "CLIMATE ACTIVISTS" DEFACE STONEHEDGE WITH SPRAY PAINT

Supporters of the climate-activism organization Just Stop Oil sprayed paint on World Heritage Site Stonehenge and were arrested on Wednesday, just before thousands are expected to visit the historic structures for the summer solstice. 

“Today’s action has come days after the Labour party’s manifesto has recommitted them to stopping all future licences for new oil and gas, should they form the next government,” reads a statement by Just Stop Oil. The United Kingdom will hold a general election on July 4, 2024.  MORE AT Climate Activists Vandalize Stonehenge with Spray Paint (msn.com)

THE CROTON CHRONICLE--MICHAEL BALTER
Commentary: Yes, the organization suing our school district is not a grassroots parent’s group but a Koch/Leo front. No, that does not mean we should want to “bring it on” and ignore concerned parents

Clearwater Needs Funding to Keep Seeger Sloop Afloat 6/19/24--RIVER JOURNAL

EXCERPTS:  Now in its 55th season, the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a cherished emblem of environmental stewardship, and the creation of legendary folk singer Pete Seeger in his quest to help save the Hudson, faces a short-term funding crisis putting the organization’s continued operations in jeopardy.............In 2022, Clearwater hired David Toman to assist the organization in overcoming the financial challenges brought about by the pandemic and exacerbated by higher operating expenses. “We had a record-setting gala and increased sloop bookings,” said Toman, “but it takes time to cultivate revenue sources, and the increases have not yet sufficed to bridge the gap between expected income and looming expenses.” READ IT ALL AT Clearwater Needs Funding to Keep Seeger Sloop Afloat – River Journal Online – News for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Cortlandt and Peekskill

OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY WILL COME AT A HIGH COST TO NORTHEAST TAXPAYERS--LOHUD

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.

As this is a hot topic locally for so many reasons:

LOHUD---Offshore wind energy will come at a a high cost to Northeast taxpayersAs a renewable energy source, offshore wind appears to be free. In reality, it is among the most expensive electricity options available, and the current plans to develop giant wind farms off the U.S. East Coast will dramatically increase the already high cost of our power.

Coastal states, like Rhode Island, are blessed with substantial offshore wind resources. These resources have attracted significant interest from offshore wind developers with encouragement and generous subsidies from federal, state and local governments.

Today, Rhode Island’s residential electricity costs nearly two and half times more than the U.S. average. Over the past decade, the state’s electricity prices have risen 81 percent, two-and-a-half times the rate of increase of the average U.S. residential price. Why is it so expensive? Renewable energy and green mandates. Is it going to get more expensive? Yes, and offshore wind will be the primary driver. MORE AT Northeast offshore wind will impact taxpayers (lohud.com)
