THE NEW YORK TIMES: LATEST DESCENT INTO MADNESS

The New York Times: Latest Descent into Madness--Toby Rogers August 15, 2024

Healing from the current crisis does not require more civil servants, it requires a restored relationship with the natural world. I’m grateful for the people who are troubled by the New York Times’ attempts to manufacture unnecessary anxiety and alienation. Read More

THE CROTON CHRONICLE--CROTON RECREATION DEPARTMENT HOSTS ANNUAL SENIOR PICNIC AT SENASQUA PARK

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.

Croton Recreation Department Hosts Annual Senior Picnic at Senasqua Park

MICHAEL BALTER

Seniors enjoy a delicious lunch donated by ShopRite and grilled by experts from the Village's Department of Public Works.

Here at the Chronicle, we sometimes worry that we are giving the impression that the only thing members of the Croton Senior Club do is eat, rather than, for example, hosting speakers about retirement and healthy living. But really, it’s not our fault if folks keep wanting to feed us. Today it was the turn of Croton’s Recreation Department to host a feast for us, and the kindness of our local ShopRite to provide the food. One might call the event “Hamburgers by the Hudson,” and there were hotdogs by the Hudson too.

(Once again, full disclosure, the Chronicle’s editor is a member in good standing of the Croton Senior Club, and thus cannot be expected to display journalistic objectivity under these circumstances.)
