JESSICA DIECKMAN, THANK YOU SEN. FETTERMAN...ONCE AGAIN

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

THE FOLLOWING LETTER APPEARED IN THE GAZETTE

To the editor,

I would like to thank Democrat Senator John Fetterman again for working across the isle and expressing support for the military strikes on Iran’s nuclear proliferation sites. Iran with advanced nuclear capabilities or weapons puts every one in danger. Senator Fetterman said this on the Iran nuclear strikes:

“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by the President of The United States. Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”

Senator Fetterman also recently made a wise comment on the dramatic Democratic primary mayoral win of Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor:

“I’d describe it as Christmas in July for the GOP.”

Thank you,

Jessica Dieckman

VINTAGE CROTON ADS, 1990'S, PAT VAILLANCOURT DOLLS

Welcome to 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.

We love finding vintage ads and it's even better when they have a Croton Connection. Imagine how surprised we were to find THREE of them for doll collector Pat Vaillancourt (that then little pink house on Grand Street).  They are from a magazine known as The Inside Collector.  (Click on the images and links.)

This was a bi-monthly niche publication that catered to enthusiasts of antiques, memorabilia, and pop culture collectibles throughout the early to mid-1990s. It launched with its premiere issue in June 1990 and ran for several years, with issues appearing as late as 1996.

Vaillancourt was well-known and respected among doll collectors.

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Furnace Woods Sewer District
Release Date: July 10, 2025

July 9, 2025----Re: Furnace Woods Sewer District
Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County, NY

Dear Resident:

I trust this letter finds you well. The Town of Cortlandt is pleased to announce that work associated with the Furnace Woods Sewer Improvement District (FWSD) is underway. The project entails the construction of a sanitary pump station and installation of approximately 7500 linear feet of 6” sanitary sewer pipe starting at 141 Furnace Dock Road, then extending along Furnace Woods Road, Maple and Lafayette Avenues before discharging to the Town’s existing sewer infrastructure near 214 Lafayette Avenue. Sanitary effluent is then conveyed through Town and County infrastructure and is treated at the Westchester County Peekskill Sanitary Treatment Plant.

The Town awarded the construction contract to Shawn’s Lawns after a competitive bidding process in the amount of $5,149,923. The Yeshiva Ohr Hameir received a combination of direct State grant funding in the amount of $2,787,481 and the Yeshiva is also contributing $907,434 towards the balance of construction costs.  MORE AT Furnace Woods Sewer District - Town of Cortlandt, NY News
