New Castle West End Residents Call for Relief on New Watershed Regs
July 5, 2024----Martin Wilbur

EXAMINER NEWS---The New Castle Town Board continued to receive pushback from residents of the town’s West End last week in reaction to tighter restrictions for more than 100 properties within a special watershed protection district.

Several homeowners affected by the proposed regulations for the Indian Brook-Croton Gorge Watershed Protection Overlay District renewed calls for New Castle to explore alternatives rather than saddling them with overbearing regulation that would likely cost them additional money and potentially devalue their property.

Aside from 102 properties in the West End of New Castle, it also affects portions of Cortlandt, Croton-on-Hudson and Ossining town and village. A primary objective of the district is to protect Ossining’s drinking water source. Thus far, Cortlandt is the only one of the five municipalities to approve the restrictions.

NEW FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE---PARENTS DEFENDING EDUCATION OPPOSES CROTON-HARMON DISTRICT'S REQUEST FOR MORE TIME TO RESPOND TO LAWSUIT

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.

NEW FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE, MICHAEL BALTER

Parents Defending Education opposes Croton-Harmon district's request for more time to respond to preliminary injunction motion; Judge orders a conference on the matter for Thurs July 11.

A PDE attorney writes Judge Seibel to argue that its motion for a preliminary injunction should not be delayed until Aug 15.

JUL 06, 2024

In our earlier reporting and commentary on the case of Parents Defending Education v. Croton-Harmon Union Free School District et al we suggested that the district is up against a determined foe, and that school officials, district parents, and district taxpayers need to take it seriously (as opposed to glib calls to “bring it on” or comments on local Facebook groups that the case will be “quickly dismissed.”)

TOWN OF CORTLANDT TRAFFIC ALERT, ANNSVILLE CIRCLE, RE-PAVING--TWO YEARS....

The Town of Cortlandt has been advised by the New York State DOT that beginning Monday, July 8, 2024 a major reconstruction of the Annsville Circle will begin. Due to a history of recurrent flooding as well as the fact that the traffic circle is now considered hazardous, the State will begin a two-year renovation of this roundabout. This reconstruction will require the road to be raised 6 feet throughout the entire area. In addition, the circle will be smaller in size and purportedly will minimize the need to merge in and out of traffic. The project is expected to take at least two years. The DOT has reported that the roadway will never close, but obviously delays will occasionally occur and should be anticipated. The businesses on the traffic circle, including the Mobil station and Table 9 will remain open as usual.

AND FOR OUR HISTORY BUFFS:

--The latest find from Pompei; Italian archaeologists digging in Pompeii uncovered a 2,000-year-old fresco featuring what looks remarkably like a modern-day pizza– and some believe it might actually be a direct ancestor of the Italian favorite.
The fresco emerged during recent digs at the Regio IX section of Pompeii’s Archeological Park, just down the road from the heart of Naples, where contemporary forms of pizza emerged as a poor-man’s street food sometime around the 16th century.
