NEW FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EFSP: SIGOURNEY WEAVER

From our friends at European Film Star Postcards: Sigourney Weaver

American actress Sigourney Weaver (1949) rose to international fame with her role as Ellen Ripley in the Alien saga. After her breakthrough in the Science Fiction blockbuster Alien (1979), she became one of Hollywood's major female stars during the 1980s and 1990s. Weaver often plays strong, independent, and driven women. She was nominated for an Oscar for Aliens (1987), Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988) and Working Girl (1988), and her tour-de-force performance in the Broadway play 'Hurlyburly' (1984) earned her a Tony Award nomination. Weaver has actually won more than ten film awards, including two Golden Globes and a BAFTA Award. READ AND SEE MORE HERE.

RECOGNIZING "MR. SUMMERFEST"

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.

The following letter was published in this week’s issue of the Gazette.

To the Editor:

Summerfest is just around the corner. Returning after an unfortunate two-year hiatus, it has been a tradition in the village for decades. Summerfest brings many village groups and organizations together to welcome summer and to celebrate life in our little river town. But even though Summerfest has returned, something will be missing this year, and that is Dr. Greg Schmidt, known by many in the village as “Mr. Summerfest” due to his more than three decades of organizing and running the village’s annual event.

Greg fixed many an aching back and cared for the health of many residents in the village with his chiropractic practice. He raised his family here and served the village as a trustee (three terms), mayor (also three terms), and as the President of the Croton Rotary Club, an organization whose purpose is to do public service. Greg didn’t just talk the talk, he walked the walk in his desire to always make Croton a better community for all who live here. He nurtured and helped Summerfest to grow for over 32 years. His contributions to our village are too numerous to list here.

Yet when I approached the village board a few years ago to request that Dr. Schmidt be recognized for his years of service, the response was that the board had to reach “consensus”.

No similar increase was found due to COVID infection alone.  Israel health authorities and the U.S. Centers of Disease Control (CDC) have acknowledged a link between COVID vaccines and specific cardiovascular complications.
