Greenburgh Insider: Greenburgh mourns passing of Barbara Perry - former leader of the Theodore Young Community Center.

Town Board will start our meeting Wednesday with a tribute to the late Commissioner.

Greenburgh mourns the passing of former Commissioner of Community Resources Barbara Perry-- A tribute will be held in her memory at the Town Board meeting on Wednesday July 26th at 7:30 PM



On Wednesday evening July 26th the Greenburgh Town Board will start our meeting with a tribute to Barbara Perry, the 2nd executive director of the Theodore Young Community Center and the first Commissioner of the Department of Community Resources. Barbara sadly passed away on July 15th and will be missed by our community.  The tribute will take place at 7:30 P.M.

Besides serving as the first female Commissioner of the Department of Community Resources, Barbara led the department when construction of a 2nd floor at the TDYCC was built. She lobbied NYS to appropriate funds for this important addition -enabling the Theodore Young Community Center to provide patrons and children with additional programming -a dance studio, classrooms and social programs.  Barbara also was responsible for enriching cultural activities --starting a jazz concert series that continues today.    Prior to her being appointed Commissioner Barbara served as Assistant to the Commissioner of the Greenburgh Parks department. She was a long time advocate for providing quality social and recreational programs in Greenburgh.

Barbara was a special woman who was passionate about the community, the Theodore Young Community Center. She spoke out on matters she felt strongly about and wasn't afraid to express herself. She did a tremendous amount of good during her life and changed many lives in a positive manner.

PS: From 9 AM to 2 PM don't forget to stop by at the Farmer's Market on Manhattan Ave and Elm. Someone told me that no market anywhere in the region has pickles that taste better!

Greenburgh Insider: Traffic delays expected Ardsley Road/Warnke for a few weeks.

 Ardsley Road will be repaved in the fall.

The Town Consolidated Water District will be performing necessary water main replacement work on Ardsley Road at the intersection of Warnke Lane. This work is necessary to ensure that the Town Consolidated Water District continue delivery of high-quality water. This work is scheduled to take place Monday through Friday from 7am until 5pm. Traffic delays in both directions should be expected. The total project is anticipated to take a few weeks of time to complete.  We had started the work in the winter but decided that this phase should take place in the summer when school is out and traffic is less. If you time your drive to the train station so you'll get to the station just in time, leave a few extra minutes so you won't miss the train.

Upon completion, the Town will then return in the Fall of 2023 to resurface Ardsley Road from the Sprain Brook Parkway overpass to Fort Hill Road. A much needed repaving job.

We ask for your patience and understanding during this time.  As always, please slow down and use caution when traveling through the construction areas.

If you have any questions regarding this project, please contact: Town of Greenburgh Bureau of Engineering at (914) 989-1583 or email Engineering@GreenburghNY.com

Greenburgh Insider: Elmsford Little League Seniors are NYS champions----to be honored at next Town Board meeting.

..and yesterday's Celebrate Greenburgh event had a record turnout.

Some great news from the Elmsford Little League.  The seniors won the New York State Division Championship, defeating Castle Hill Little League 10-0. The game was played at Dix Hills on Long Island. In recent week the League won the District 20 and Section 3 North Championships leading up to this tournament. The League includes Leaguer's between the ages of 14-15 years. Although the Little League is named for Elmsford many of the participants reside in neighborhoods that include unincorporated Greenburgh, Hartsdale, 10603 and 10607 zip codes, Irvington and Edgemont.  The team will be going to the Little League tournament in Bangor Maine.  I have invited the Champions to the next Greenburgh Town Board meeting on Wednesday July  26 at 7:30 PM to be honored.

YESTERDAY'S CELEBRATE GREENBURGH DAY HAD A RECORD TURNOUT

Yesterday's Celebrate Greenburgh at AF Veteran Town Park  had a total count of 1736 paid customers.  Pre Covid numbers in 2019, the head count was 1666. Last year we had only 1206.. Prior to yesterday’s event due to weather we were having low general swimming participation and it was very encouraging to see the community come out and have a fun day in the park according to Commissioner Gerry Byrne.

A big thank you to town staff for doing an incredible job - organizing Celebrate Greenburgh, making the day very fun and enjoyable for families and for the fantastic firework show which was enjoyed by many.

Greenburgh Insider: An inspiring story of a 30 year old stroke victim who overcame a coma and is on the road to recovery.

Would like to share other stories about individuals who overcame critical illnesses with residents who are stressed out, worried and feeling hopeless when a family member or friend is diagnosed with a major medical illness. Have hope. Never give up

 I  am planning to compile a list of inspiring stories about people who overcame serious medical problems that I can share with residents who are stressed out, worried and feeling hopelesss  when a family member or close friend is critically ill.  The goal: to encourage them to have hope and to never give up. Please e mail me examples at pfeiner@greenburghny.com that can be shared.

The Gift: An inspiring story about a 30 year old woman who had a hemorrhagic stroke, was in a coma and survived –the power of presence, family support and strength

 

 When one has a beloved friend or relative who has become crticially ill, or is suffering from a dehabilitating  medical conditon, it's easy to get discouraged. Even so, it can help to know there are heartwarming stories about people who have overcome the odds even when their prognosis was bleak. 

 

Caryn Hirshleifer and her daughter Jennifer have written a very inspiring book about an experience that should give hope to those who need it. Days before her 31st birthday, Jenn unexpecttedley suffered a massive bleed in her brain, became comatose for weeks and was clinging to life . Her family and loved ones were forced to grapple with Jenn's potential sudden death.  A miracle happened: Jenn survived and began a painstaking slow and uneven  road to recovery. She and her mom wrote "The Gift" in which they and her other loved ones, including Jenn's boyfriend, highlight their experiences and how they helped her to work to  overcome her difficulties. They are now seeking an  agent in order to  have the book published. 

 

If you know anyone who is in  a critical or dehabilitating  condition, please encourage their families to listen to this interview at the link below  on You Tube.
