IN THE NEWS---SORRY, WRONG PROTESTORS

Why it's important not to jump to conclusions....

Let it suffice to say that an attempt to blame this incident on FAR RIGHT extremists didn't quite pan out to be anything even remotely close to the truth:

Manhattan BP Brad Hoylman-Sigal blames wrong protesters for hurling bombs outside Gracie Mansion

and

Self-radicalized ISIS protesters used explosive called 'Mother of Satan' inside bombs thrown at Gracie Mansion protest: sources

and

INFORMATIONAL UPDATE ON AVIAN INFLUENZA



The village has posted an update on this issue as a number of dead birds have been found in the area. It is important to note that it is unknown if these birds had avian influenza although it has been previously detected in the county. You can read the update from the village at Informational Update on Avian Influenza ("Bird Flu") | Croton-on-Hudson NY

CORNELL has an excellent treatise on this issue at Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) Resource Center | Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine

For those who have asked if we have ever "had dead birds here before"---yes during the West Nile years--but you should really contact the village directly for that info.

VINTAGE VIEWS OF THE CROTON NORTH STATION, THE CROTON DOCK OPERATIONS, THE ASPHALT PLANT AT CROTON LANDING ETC.

We just got a heads-up from THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY---click on the image below, then view the film in question at https://youtu.be/3BRXieiIrG0?si=mCIRc5d6WWtZH3BN&t=710
