Greenburgh Insider: Town of Greenburgh: Fuller Center helps families whose homes destroyed during storms or who need repairs.

Fuller Center looking for volunteers and support from community so they can help others Link to interview with Jim Killoran below.

The Fuller Center has been helping several families in Greenburgh who have needed help rebuilding their homes after significant storms. One family, Kimona Hanson, lost their entire home during the flood. Volunteers are working with the family rebuilding their home -saving the Hanson family lots of money. They have worked with the town and residents helping to rebuild homes damaged by floods. They have assisted families (seniors, those who take advantage of our meals and wheels program and veterans) with some repairs and also have donated sandbags to help other families. Every time someone has a major problem and I refer the problem to Jim Killoran, executive director of the Fuller Center – the reaction is YES, we want to help the family. If you know of a family or senior that needs assistance please e mail DART@fullercenterny. You can copy me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com. If you’d like to volunteer and help a great cause you should e mail volunteer@fullercenterny. 

I would like to organize a Greenburgh bike a thon to raise funds for the Fuller Center so they can help more Greenburgh families.  If you’d like to help organize such an effort that could be held in the fall or spring please advise. Check out www.fullercenterny.org or call 9140406-3357

Greenburgh Insider: Town of Greenburgh: Congrat's to Latimer, Shimsky and Cacace--thank you to James Robinson and Eric Zinger.

Congrat's to the primary election winners & thank you to two civic leaders who are moving out of town.

Congratulations to the winners of the Democratic primary yesterday: George Latimer who won the Congressional primary; Mary Jane Shimsky who won the Democratic nomination for Assembly and Susan Cacace who won the District Attorney primary.

 

The Greenburgh Town Board will recognize and say thank you to two dedicated public servants who are moving out of Greenburgh at our Town Board meeting on Wednesday, June 26 at 7:30 PM (tonight).

 

James Robinson has been active in the town for decades. A graduate of Woodlands HS James worked his way up the ranks at the Theodore Young Community Center serving as camp director, Aquatics Director, Program Coordinator, Assistant to the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner. Even after he retired from his town employment James has stayed active in the community- serving as Commissioner of the Greenburgh Housing Authority and Commissioner of the Fairview Fire District. James formed a Martin Luther King Young Adults Club and has coached baseball and basketball.  We wish James good health and happiness and will miss him. 

Another community leader who is moving out of town is Eric Zinger of Hartsdale. Eric has played a vital role in our democracy – advocating for change, holding leaders accountable and speaking up at many Board meetings—asking questions and highlighting concerns. The Town Board appointed Eric as a member of the Greenburgh Parks & Recreation Advisory Board a number of years ago. Eric has also served as President of the Hartsdale Neighbors Association, a volunteer driven community-based civic group that has informed residents of Hartsdale about issues that could impact their lives. Eric has been an exceptional civic leader- smart, hardworking and constructive who will also be missed. A model citizen.

Greenburgh Insider: Town of Greenburgh: Another sewer leak on E Hartsdale Ave near 120- expect traffic delays.

 

2nd leak in recent weeks.

There is a leaking sewer diversion pipe in the street in front 120 East Hartsdale Avenue that is spraying water and who knows what out into the street and sidewalk.  The water is flowing and puddling on the street in front of the east driveway of 120.  There is a foul smell in the air.  Recently there was a leak in front of 100 E Hartsdale Ave. That leak is being repaired. It’s a major repair job that could take weeks/months.

Expect traffic delays on E Hartsdale Ave near the apartments in the coming weeks. Frank Morabito, the Building Inspector who has expertise in these matters just spoke with me and will be at the scene soon.

Greenburgh Insider: Town of Greenburgh: “Watch Your Children –For Pool Safety there is no substitution for supervision”.

The Town of Greenburgh has placed signs around Anthony Veteran pool reminding parents and caregivers to keep an eye out for young children who are enjoying our pool.

The Town of Greenburgh has placed signs around Anthony Veteran pool reminding parents and caregivers to keep an eye out for young children who are enjoying our pool. The signs which say “Watch Your Children –For Pool Safety there is no substitution for supervision”- was designed by the Water Guardian Foundation, headed by Samantha Pfeffer, a Junior at Edgemont High School.

 

When Samantha was 8 years old her sister, Saige, drowned in a pool.  Her sister was only 2 ½ years old. Samantha has devoted her free time trying to encourage parents and caregivers to be alert so that a similar tragedy won’t happen to them.

 

I intend to write to the Westchester County Parks department and to municipal officials from around the county and will encourage them to also place similar posters at their municipal pools. I will also be writing to condo, coop Boards in Greenburgh and residents who have pools in their homes asking that they consider placing a pool safety reminder sign near their pool.

 

It only takes a few seconds for a child who isn’t being watched to drown. WE hope that these signs will motivate adults who take small children to the pool to always watch the child. Supervision will save lives.
