Why is Sonya so determined to champion this misfit!?!?!? Whitehead must have the goods on someone. What a rotten message to honest town employees who are working hard every working day. Worse still is the public sees the ENTIRE Center as being under investigation when it is ONLY VALERIE WHITEHEAD who committed thief of services crimes. But the whole Department's reputation is being made to suffer because of her selfishness, greed, and need for power. A blind person could see that she accomplished NOTHING during her time as Interim Commissioner. She gave away the farm to no show staff, including her nephew. So now as a result of her overspending, legitimate services will need to be cut. She is an affront to any person who is decent. Yet she dares calls herself "blessed". Actually she is indeed blessed...<BR/> <BR/>Blessed by Greenburgh taxpayers who AREN'T calling for her termination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-55030250593228654672008-11-22T10:39:00.000-05:002008-11-22T10:39:00.000-05:00April 2008 G Scarsdale Teen Center (STC) HThree ye...April 2008 G Scarsdale Teen Center (STC) HThree years ago an Edgemont student became in-volved with the Scarsdale Teen Center, whichhosted band performances and other activities. As the STC’s first Edgemont teen liaison, he worked on gettingmore Edgemont kids involved. Events were advertised atthe high school, and in 2006 STC’s activities were brought to the attention of the Edgemont Committee onCommunity Health (ECCH). ECCH and members of the community visited STC and after a series of meetings be-gan to consider ways for the Edgemont community tocontribute to the STC so that Edgemont kids could par-ticipate in a neighborhood social and recreation center.ECCH spoke with ECC about this, and our group was en-thusiastic about finding a way to support it. In July,2007, as a result of efforts by ECC president, Bob Bern-stein, Bill Ryan, Chairman of the Westchester CountyBoard of Legislators, announced that the county wouldaward STC a $35,000 grant to launch the participationof Edgemont kids in the center. The county intends to renew the grant for the coming year.

Mr. Solomon said, “I’d like to offer, on behalf of Edgemont Recreation, $150,000 to provide a new roof for the gymnasium; $45,000 for the overhang of the gym and $15,000 to Dr. Kennedy to refurbish the APR room.

Eliminating the $30K that some bloggers say the Town pays Edgemont Rec each year to subsidize its camp would result in Edgemont camp costing a little more while angering even more those Edgemont taxpayers who are already angry over a 30% hike in town taxes over the past two years and a decline in essential services, like police, garbage, leaf and snow removal. <BR/><BR/>Contrary to what some have said, Edgemont doesn't have to remain in Unincorporated Greenburgh, and if Edgemont keeps paying more to the Town and getting less in return, it probably won't be in Unincorporated Greenburgh for much longer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-54046272287591824532008-11-22T07:39:00.000-05:002008-11-22T07:39:00.000-05:00My kids have attended Greenbugh Parks & Rec ca...My kids have attended Greenbugh Parks & Rec camps for years.

Edgemont spouts off about duplicate of services then does the very same thing and expects us to pay and out up with it.<BR/>Before the formal formation of Edgemont Rec, Edgemont started its own camps and technically, they were open to all Unincorporated Greenburgh kids. I was curious about what they had to offer and called Paul Solomon to find out. I clearly stated that I was not an Edgemont resident. My many messages went unanswered.<BR/><BR/>So, it isn't just black & white. It actually worse. It's black & the wrong white.<BR/><BR/>In this day and age this should not be tolerated.
