FLORIDA STILL STANDS ALONE

STEVE TEMPLETON --At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic mass hysteria bulldozed any voice of calm and reason; there was simply no stopping it, though many tried. Feeling the sense of futility of convincing my friends, neighbors, and community to not let fear destroy the very things we were trying to protect, I decided instead to act at the most effective level possible to improve my immediate environment, and that was at the level of my family.

COMING THIS WEEK TO THE CROTON CHRONICLE----25 SOUTH RIVERSIDE (THE OLD HARDWARE)

This week in The Croton Chronicle we will report on the concerns over the work-in-progress retaining wall at the 25 South Riverside apartment development (Phil Spagnoli and Ralph Rossi, developers.)

The article will include comments from all involved as well as expert outside opinion, and take a factual and balanced approach as we always try to do.

One thing that many Crotonites may not know: The water main break right in front of the work site just after Christmas last year occurred when the contractor was trying to connect to the main sewer line. On February 9 of this year, the village billed the contractor $5,941.79 for the repairs.

More coming in the next day or two.

GERARD BARRAY HAS DIED

From our friends at European Film Star Postcards: French film and television actor Gérard Barray (1931-2024) died on 15 February in Marbella, Andalucia. He was once called 'the most handsome man in the world' and became one of the swashbuckling heroes of French cinema. During the 1960s, he starred as D’Artagnan and Scaramouche but also starred in many Eurospy films. He then married his Spanish co-star, flamenco dancer Teresa Lorca, and settled in Andalusia. Barray was 92.
