CROTON RESIDENT KATHLEEN RIEDY, OBITUARY

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

Long time resident Kathleen Riedy has passed away. A true loss for our village, a staunch opponent of Harmon re-zoning and Metro-Enviro, an active member of The Rotary. Here is the link to her obituary, as well as visitation hours at Carter's; link is only good for a few weeks: http://www.nyjnews.com/obits/index_full.php3

NEW AT ROBERT SCOTT'S POSTSCRIPTS: THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ

We're so lucky to have Robert Scott. Thanks to his exposes on the Croton bow hunting proposal (now successfully stopped for this year at least) and his treatment of the Harmon housing/re-zoning plans, more and more residents are taking a hard look at our village government.

But there's another side of Scott by way of his wonderful Postscripts blog. Here's what's happening on it now: THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ 

At the end of the 19th century, the populist movement was growing in America. Robert Scott’s latest Postscripts article uncovers a hidden social and political message in the famous children’s classic. Author L. Frank Baum’s delightful book (and movie) is really an allegory based on unhappiness with banks and Wall Street.
