SHOULD NYS TREAT BAD DRIVING DIFFERENTLY IF YOU ARE IN YONKERS THAN GREENBURGH? ...MENTORS WANTED FOR FOSTER CARE...TOWN BD APPROVES PARKING ENFORCEMT

In April of this year the New York State Legislature approved red light cameras to be installed at intersections in Yonkers, Nassau & Suffolk Counties. Cars that run red lights will receive tickets if caught on camera. Unfortunately, this new law only applies to a handful of communities in the state.
There is no reason why the state should be limiting these cameras to only a few cities in New York State. Poor motorist behavior in Greenburgh, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon or Bedford should be treated no differently than bad driving in Yonkers, NYC, Nassau & Suffolk Counties (cities that can install red light cameras).
Every locality in New York State should be granted permission to install these red light safety cameras. Safety is important all over! Running red lights has caused 850 deaths and thousands of injuries each year. If red light cameras save one life it is worth it.
I urge the New York State Legislature to adopt a law that will treat every locality in New York State the same when it comes down to public safety.

At Wednesday nights new resident reception (held at the Greenburgh Library) about a dozen residents stopped by at the Abbott House table and expressed interest in becoming mentors to foster care children. Town Clerk Judith Beville, Town Councilwoman Sonja Brown, Town Attorney Tim Lewis and I have also expressed a desire to serve as foster care mentors. The requirement: only 2 hours a week of mentoring to a child. These two hours could make a world of a difference to a young person. If you are interested in signing up please contact Jack Toone, mentor and volunteer coordinator at jtoone@abbotthouse.net or call 591 7300 x 3090. Town Clerk Judith Beville's parents took in about a 100 foster care children during their lives.

The Town Board approved a new law that will enable the Chief of Police to impound vehicles against which three or more parking summonses have been issued but not paid. A significant number of owners are persistent violators. Some have out of state registration of vehicles, transfer ownership and re-register vehicles and are able to evade existing enforcement measures. This new law will enable the police to enforce parking orders in the case of vehicle owenrs who fail to timely respond to summonses issued for violations. The police indicated that they will use this law against the more significant violators.

FREE MEDICINES PROGRAM FOR UNEMPLOYED

Pfizer Launches Free Medicines Program
For Newly Unemployed Americans
- - -
Employees Inspire Plan to Help People
Continue Pfizer Therapy During Unprecedented Economic Times
NEW YORK, NY May 14 -- Pfizer Inc announced today that it will
launch an innovative program to help eligible unemployed
Americans and their families who have lost their health insurance
maintain access to their Pfizer medicines for free. The
inspiration for the new program, called MAINTAIN™ (Medicines
Assistance for Those who Are in Need), was generated by Pfizer
employees who were witnessing friends, family and neighbors
struggle to make ends meet after losing their jobs.
“We all know people who have been laid off recently and have lost
their health insurance, making it difficult for them to pay for
health care,” said Dr. Jorge Puente, Pfizer’s regional president
of Worldwide Pharmaceuticals, a leading champion of the
initiative. “We thought there must be some way we could help
recently unemployed people who are taking Pfizer medicines to
continue treatment during these challenging economic times.”
The program, which applies regardless of prior family income,
will be open for enrollment through December 31, 2009 and applies
to eligible Americans who have become unemployed since January 1,
2009. It is designed to help recently unemployed Americans

VOTERS TO HAVE ABILITY TO PETITION FOR CONSOLIDATION

An article in the Journal News indicated that the New York State Legislature will approve this summer a proposed law to provide citizens with the ability to put proposals on the ballot to consolidate governments if they get signatures of 10% of voters or 5,000 whichever is less. The proposal was initiated by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and will give voters the ability to consolidate local special districts and fire districts. This initiative could result in reducing the escalating property tax hikes by making government more efficient.

Over the years a number of taxpayers have suggested that the 3 paid fire districts in Greenburgh be consolidated. A few months ago I asked Police Chief John Kapica and Edye McCarthy, town assessor to provide a report on financing of the 3 paid districts in Greenburgh. That report will be released shortly. It does not make any recommendations but could lead to a discussion and study and eventual taxpayer savings. If you would like a copy of the report once it is released please advise by e mailing me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com. The fire districts are independent of the town government.

SIGNIFICANT ARREST MADE BY GREENBURGH POLICE

The Greenburgh police department has an excellent reputation of catching the bad guys! Today-- the police dept made a significant arrest.
Hat's off to the police dept for doing a great job!
PAUL FEINER

I am pleased to advise you that our detectives today arrested Daniel S. Barnes, age 35, of the Bronx, New York for the knife point robbery of the store manager of the Buy Buy Baby store located at 1019 S. Central Avenue in Scarsdale. Barnes was charged with Robbery 1st degree, a Class B felony. He was arraigned before Judge Friedman and remanded to the Westchester County Jail without bail. Barnes became a suspect early in the investigation and when it was discovered that he had an outstanding warrant for Probation Violation, our detectives asked officers from the Westchester County department of Probation to bring him to Greenburgh Police Headquarters after they arrested him on that charge. County Probation did so and after he was interviewed by our detectives, he was arrested and charged with the robbery. Chief Kapica

COMMUTER PARKING QUESTIONNAIRE

If you are a commuter and have experienced difficulty obtaining commuter parking at a train station - please e mail me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com with your experiences. I am the President of the Westchester Putnam Town Supervisors Association and will be comparing notes with my colleagues. I would like to determine if our region lacks adequate parking for commuters.

PARKING TICKET SUGGESTION..NO WORK SESSION. HAVE FUN

This morning I parked my car in front of Big Top on E Hartsdale Ave for five minutes. I walked into the store to thank the owner of Big Top for their years of service to the community. They are going out of business (landlord rents are high) and I offered to spread the word about their going out of business sales (toys are 25% off). I got what I deserved from parking meter reader E Acosta: a parking ticket for failing to put money in the meter. I learned the following lessons:
1) Always put money in the meter when your car is parked on E Hartsdale Ave. My car was parked in front of the store for only minutes. I confess: I thought I could avoid putting money in the meter since I was just going into the store for a few minutes to say thank you and good luck. Mistake!
2) Meter reader Acosta (the person who signed my ticket) is probably one of the most efficient government employees around. He is hired to patrol the street. Whether you like the meter policy or not, he seems to catch everyone who neglects to put adequate coins in the meter.
3) My car is marked with the PROBLEM SOLVER SIGN on top of it. To Mr. Acosta’s credit – he shows no favoritism and treats every person in the town the same. This is the way government should be run.
4) The parking district does something that made me feel better: The ticket was $15. However – if a ticket is paid within 48 hours the violator gets a 50% discount. I stopped off at the town court and paid the $7.50.

SUGGESTION--- After I received the parking ticket I called the Town Court. I asked if I could pay over the phone by credit card or via the internet. I was disappointed when I heard that I could not. Many courts around the state provide for payment of fines by credit card or via the internet. This would make payments more convenient and could result in more people paying their fines to the town quickly. I will urge the Court to change the policy and to accept credit cards and internet payment. The town has been collecting taxes via credit card and internet for years without problems.

SHOP LOCAL CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED TO HELP BUSINESSES

Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, Town Clerk Judith Beville and Scarsdale High School senior Anthony Schepis have launched a campaign to help local businesses succeed. They are going to spend the next six weeks promoting local businesses. Short video’s highlighting participating businesses will be taped and aired on the Greenburgh You tube channel. This is part of a local effort to help businesses survive in this difficult economy.
This is just one of many action steps we plan to take to help local businesses. We plan to create a business registry, hope to list businesses to the towns GIS system to allow residents to seellocations of businesses and also want to publish a business directory and e list of Greenburgh businesses that will be circulated to the community.
We also want to create an interactive communication system where businesses can communicate with town officials when they need help from us. The town will also contact businesses advising of possible federal/state grant opportunities. We will also reach out to local businesses before the Town Board takes any action that could impact the business as it relates to any land use actions/development proposals. We also hope to host small business workshops to help businesses improve their existing venture.
If your business is interested in being interviewed for a You Tube segment highlighting your business – there is no cost involved to you. Please e mail pfeiner@greenburghny.com or call 993-1545 or 438-1343. Anthony Schepis will be working on this project every day – as part of his senior internship project.

PLEASED THAT NYS DOT CLEARED DEBRIS FROM SPRAIN (OFF OF DOBBS FERRY ROAD)

New York State used the entrance of the Sprain Parkway as a dumping area for logs/debris earlier this year. A number of constituents complained. I forwarded the complaints to the regional representative of the NYS Department of Transportation and am very pleased that the logs/debris have been removed. I have asked the NYS DOT not to dump logs/debris there in the future and am hopeful that they will consider the request.
The access to the Sprain now looks much better!

LANZA FOUNDATION FUNDS POLICE SUMMER YOUTH CAMP 100% PRIVATE FUNDING

Thanks to a generous grant from the Lanza Foundation of $65,000 the Greenburgh Police Department will be reinstituting its Summer Youth Camp Program for 2009. The camp is a free, seven-week day camp, which will begin on Monday, July 6th and end with a graduation ceremony and barbecue on Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 Daily camp hours will normally be 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. although these hours may be altered somewhat on days when field trips or other special activities are planned. Parents will be notified at least seven days in advance of any change in the daily schedule. Unless otherwise advised, campers should bring their own lunch.

This camp started in 1997. However, last year it was discontinued because of budget restraints. Thanks to the Lanza Foundation – 100% of the costs associated with the camp will be paid for without taxpayer dollars.

This year’s program is expected to accommodate 20 to 24 children between the ages of 12 and 17. The camp will, in essence, be a junior police academy where youngsters will be placed in a setting similar to that experienced by a police recruit. The seven-week course will consist of physical training and classroom instruction in law and other related topics. Guest lecturers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, District Attorney’s Office, United States Secret Service and other areas within the Criminal Justice System will present an overview of their agency’s operation. Demonstrations by specialized police units and field trips to courts and other criminal justice institutions are also planned. Contemporary issues such as alcohol and drug abuse shall also be addressed and students will participate in various role-play scenarios, which illustrate the practical everyday problems faced by law enforcement officers. Campers will also receive instruction and certification in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), First Aid and Water Rescue by police instructors.

Persons taking part in the program will be provided uniforms, law books and other materials necessary for participation in camp activities. A graduation ceremony for campers, their parents and siblings is planned for Saturday, August 22nd.

The goal of this program is to expose your son or daughter to various law enforcement careers while developing academic ability and self-esteem. Campers will come away from the program with meaningful skills and a better understanding of the criminal justice system and its potential as a career.

Applications and Medical Clearance Forms should be returned Police Headquarters for processing no later than Monday, June 8th. Notification to parents and guardians as to whether their child has been selected will be forwarded no later than Wednesday, June 17th. Applications may be obtained at the following locations:

Greenburgh Police Department Greenburgh Housing Authority

Please call 682-5340 should you have any questions concerning the program or about completion of this application. If you would like the town to place camp applications at other locations – we will do so.

The programs held in previous years were tremendous successes. This year we look to build on that success to provide an even better program for your youngsters. I would like to thank Police Chief John Kapica for starting the program way back in 1997 and for his hard work making the camp a success. One of the first graduates of the camp, Herman Killiebrew is now a police officer. Officer Killiebrew was hired in 2006.

These job posts do work...keep the job notices coming

Hi paul,

Just wanted to let you know that with the economy as it is….my wife continues to be unemployed and I (although already employed) will have to make up for the lost income. I am starting a second (part time) job on may 11th . I found out about it from the emails you send
(deleted name of constituent)

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO REGULATE CABLE TV CHANNELS

The recent decision by cablevision to remove 14 channels from the Family Cable package (popular with low income seniors and families) has motivated constituents to contact me –requesting that action be taken on behalf of consumers.
Unfortunately, federal law prevents local governments from regulating the cable industry. Cable TV companies have the ability to charge customers rates they want. Cable companies have the discretion to eliminate channels. Local governments can’t do anything about this.
I would like to encourage the Congress to consider legislation that would re-regulate the cable TV industry. I believe that local governments should have more control over rates, program modifications.
Thank you for your consideration.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO SPEND $100 A MONTH OR LESS ON UTILITY BILLS ON A NEW HOME?

Is it possible to spend $100 a less per month on utility bills to heat a new home?
Find out at our May 13 Greenburgh Town Board meeting…
Paul Birgy will speak at the next Greenburgh Town Board meeting – on Wednesday, May 13th at 7:30 PM. Paul is building a house at 95 Wilson Park Drive, Tarrytown. His new house is a real model for energy efficiency. The house has numerous energy related design and system features that should result in at least 70-80% less energy consumption than most standard constructed homes. There is a rooftop evacuated tube solar hot water system (in addition to the
3 solar powered attic fans), new installed cellulose insulation R-38 and R-75 in the 12 inch thick walls and ceilings . Paul thinks that his monthly Con Ed bill will be $100 or less! He will show us a dozen or more photos of his alternative energy house to illustrate some of the more interesting energy saving and sustainable features of the house.
It's my hope that this brief presentation will motivate all of us to think of ways to promote even greener construction in all municipal, school, residential and commercial construction.
After his presentation there will be a public hearing on a proposal to require green commercial construction--commercial buildings will have to meet LEEDS standards In 2002, when the Town Board approved a law requiring energy star in new residential construction, civic leaders expressed concern that we were requiring energy efficiency standards for only residential construction but not commercial properties. They were correct.

THERIVERTOWNPLAYGROUP.COM-- A GREAT WEB SITE: NEW PLAYGROUND EYED FOR WEBB?

GREAT WEBSITE: If you are a parent of a small child in Greenburgh/the river villages - check out therivertownplaygroup.com. It's a great web site that highlights some terrific events, things to do with your kids. There is a discussion section dealing with safety, babysitting and much more. Earlier this week I highlighted another good website: www.rivertownsguide.com. That guide keeps updating fun things to do around our area for everyone.
CHILDREN AT HIGHVIEW SCHOOL WANT A NEW PLAYGROUND AT WEBB--Recently, I spoke to students at the Highview School. The big issue: A new playground to replace the aging wooden playground at Webb Field/Richard Presser park. This park is next to the school--but is a town park. New playgrounds use plastic rather than wood. I read that some communities around the nation are applying for federal stimulus funds for playgrounds. We are looking into this funding source. Over a dozen years ago parents (led by Grace Rapkin) volunteered their time --helping the town reduce the costs of playground construction. The Webb Field playground, off of Central Ave, has been used by thousands of kids over the years and is one of the most popular playgrounds in the town. If you are interested in working on this issue - please e mail me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com
