You know the drill---most of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it--and are sometimes sent screenshots.
The village is home to at least a dozen "community" pages and/or private forums and twitter pages. The "hot fb one" at the moment is Croton Landing. but really they're all hopping, and especially with the holidays on the horizon.
Currently trending--and STILL number one social media chatter spot--many thanks to RedPapyrus and TMThoughtsCreekskill for passing along:*****Much discussion about the IDEA Committee, but that's best left for the parental forums to hash out. Much discussion still, about Bob Anderson's recent Gazette letter
And no. still no public apology to anyone, and it is perhaps best not to expect any.
*****Much discussion about the scanner/ballot issues from the village election--how could this have happened, who will be held accountable, MIS-STEPS FROM THE COUNTY BOE, etc. HERE'S WHERE THNGS STAND AT THE MOMENT: EverythingCroton: CROTON.NEWS----STATE IDENTIFIES OMITTED ARDSLEY RACE BEHIND WESTCHESTER SCANNING DISRUPTION

*****Next big thing---lots of posts about the scourge of Ebikes and scooters, and speeding bikes whether pedal powered or not----down at the "Landing".

INVASIVES! DEC DELIVERS---FIREWOOD AND INVASIVE PESTS
Best Practices for Using Firewood this Fall---Chillier days are on the horizon and fall activities are in full swing! Before you build a bonfire under the stars with friends and family or cozy up next to your woodburning stove on a crisp autumn day, it is important to know how to responsibly use firewood.
Help stop invasive pests and diseases from hitching a ride to a new area by following these quick tips from the New York State firewood regulation:Untreated firewood may not be imported into New York from any other state or country.
Untreated, New York-grown firewood must stay within a 50-mile radius of its source of origin.
If transporting untreated firewood and your destination is within 50 miles, you must fill out a Self-Issued Certificate of Origin.
If purchasing and transporting untreated firewood, it must have a receipt or label that identifies the firewood source; hold onto your receipt until all the firewood is burned. MORE AT Firewood and Invasive Pests - NYSDEC
