Editor’s Note: The following piece was first published as a letter in the October 10-16 issue of The Gazette.

Is three-and-a-half minutes of free speech so repugnant to Mayor Pugh as to warrant expulsion from a village meeting?

I understand that there is a bit of history between Mr. Pugh and Mr. Riely, and that Mr. Riely can be a bit long-winded on occasion. But Mr. Riely is a citizen of Croton, and Mr. Pugh is neither a king nor a schoolyard bully. READ MORE AT Guest Editorial: Pughilistics. - The Croton Chronicle (substack.com)

Bedard: From Covid Amnesty to Covid Amnesia

Thomas Buckley October 10, 2024

These are not the droids you are looking for.

With a wave of his hand, Obi-Wan Kenobi made thoughts and suspicions disappear.  

When it comes to Covid, it is what the pharmaphorcedcopulation conglomeration is trying to do right now.

Well, no.

In a recent piece in the New York Times, Dr. Rachel Bedard – who specializes in “medicine and criminal justice” – said the world needs to move on from the whole Covid catastrophe, the pandemic response, and the wholesale destruction of liberties.

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS COULD BE VISIBLE FROM ALMOST EVERY STATE TONIGHT

Welcome to The New Everything Croton--a collection of all things Croton, our history, our homes, our issues, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

My fellow space enthusiasts, you better brace yourselves: Tonight could be one for the books in terms of northern lights sightings, because the gorgeous phenomenon may be visible from almost every state in the US.

According to the most recent forecast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a "severe" (G4) geomagnetic storm is expected to hit this evening. If you're an aurora borealis fan, you already know what that means: the stronger the storm, the higher the number of states that might be able to catch a glimpse of it.
