REMEMBERING CLAUDE RAINS

Who died this date in 1967...Courtesy of our friends at European Film Star Postcards...(click on the photo).

The career of English stage and film actor Claude Rains (1889 - 1967) spanned 47 years.  In Hollywood he was a supporting actor who achieved A-list stardom. With his smooth distinguished voice he could portray a wide variety of roles, ranging from villains to sympathetic gentlemen. He is best known as the title figure in The Invisible Man (1933), as wicked Prince John in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), as a corrupt senator in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), and, of course, as Captain Renault in Casablanca (1942).

Q:  What's going on with the helicopter pad i.e. the old Nappy property and the housing that was going to go on it with Harmon re-zoning?   

A: AS OF APRIL 2017--it was announced at a previous board meeting that the current (still???) owner had abandoned plans to develop it because he saw no way to make the building profitable.  It is allegedly back on the market in its current state. As always you should direct your questions to proponents of the re-zoning (who also brought you the Dairy Mart construction), consult the planning board records, check the village's meeting minutes, etc.

Q: I enjoyed seeing photos of the outdoor services. Got any more examples from the village churches?  It's a good way to see the old town.
