Regeneron dedicated their new 120 million state of the art complex today. This company, which is located in Greenburgh (Landmark at Eastview) is one of the largest, state of the art corporate facilities to be built in Westchester County in recent years. It solidifies the fact that Greenburgh is one of the leading bio med life science locations in New York State. Recently, OSI (another bio tech company) announced plans to make their headquarters in the Ardsley section of Greenburgh.
Regeneron, a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes medicines for the treatment of serious medical conditions including cancer, gout, and retinal and other diseases, will use the new facilities for its research and development laboratories, clinical development staff, corporate headquarters and administrative offices. With the two new buildings, Regeneron now occupies approximately 390,000 square feet in four buildings on the 116 acre Landmark campus. Regeneron, which had just four employees when it opened its research laboratories at The Landmark at Eastview in 1989, now has over 1,000 employees. Regeneron’s full-scale manufacturing facility is in Rensselaer, New York. Regeneron has a long history of successful scientific advancements in discovering drug candidates for treatment of serious conditions.
The completion of this new facility is the culmination of a successful economic development effort involving the Empire State Development Corporation, the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency and the Town of Greenburgh. Regeneron and BioMed broke ground on the two new build-to-suit buildings, comprising approximately 230,000 square feet, in April 2007. William The new facilities offer environmentally friendly design features, including a white roof to reflect heat, a high efficiency HVAC system, building layouts for laboratories and offices to maximize day lighting, a courtyard located between buildings that maximizes permeable surfaces to reduce water runoff, and extensive use of sustainable materials such as bamboo flooring and low volatility organic compounds. In addition, as part of The Landmark at Eastview campus, employees are provided complimentary shuttle service to the North White Plains and Tarrytown Metro North Stations and convenient access to other public transportation. The Landmark at Eastview is one of the largest privately-owned, multi-tenant science parks in New York State. The 116-acre campus consists of eight main buildings and over 1.1 million rentable square feet of research and development facilities and high-tech office space. Construction of a third lab-ready building was initiated and completed concurrently with the core and shell construction for Regeneron’s two new buildings.
In my remarks at the dedication ceremony I mentioned that Regeneron is not only good for economic development, jobs and Greenburgh. The company is good for the world. This company has given hope to families who have been distressed with medical conditions of their loved ones. And, they have give a new lease on life to those who are living normal lives, after being diagnosed with cancer, eye disease, inflammatory diseases and pain.

50% tuition scholarship for WOODLANDS GRADUATES WHO HAVE B AVERAGE FROM MANHATTANVILLE!
I just attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at RJ Bailey School. The school district and Dr. Molly Easo Smith, President of Manhattanville College, announced the Manhattanville College/RJ Bailey School partnership.
Any student who graduates the Central 7 School district with a B average will receive a 50% scholarship during their four years at Manhattanville. This could be a big boost to Greenburgh residents who reside in the Central 7 school district since college tuition at Manhattanville currently is around $35,000 a year.
The ribbon cutting ceremony was very exciting. The school district announced a professional development agreement. Manhattanville College will send instructors and student teachers to the school to help the school district improve instructional practice and enhance student learning. In effect – Bailey School is becoming the equivalent of a teaching hospital – the school is being used as a training center to help future teachers learn the profession. Other faculty from Manhattanville will work with the school district to improve instructional practice and enhance student learning.
The students who attended the ribbon cutting ceremony all wore “I’m Getting Ready for College” shirts. They sang a song (Let’s Connect, Reflect, Direct, Protect) written by Bob Lance- Music Teacher and Choral Director. I have invited students to attend the Town Board meeting on October 14th at 7:30 PM at Greenburgh Town Hall. I would like to salute Ron Smalls, Superintendent of Schools, Marguerite Clarkson, Principal of RJ Bailey school and the school board for this initiative.

GREAT EVENTS AT HISTORIC IRVINGTON TOWN HALL THEATER
The charming and historic Irvington Town Hall Theater is located in the same building as the Irvington village hall. This year the Irvington Town Hall Theater Commission (which works closely with village officials) decided to offer a film series in addition to other programs. I thought the following list of programs would be of interest to you.

2009 - 2010 Schedule of Performances
THE FOLK GODDESS RETURNS AND MORE!
The return of Judy Collins is just one of the legendary events we have in store for you in our 2009-10 season. The Subdudes, Marshall Tucker Band and Arlo Guthrie will all be making encore performances, while Johnny Winter and Ronnie Spector will be making their debuts at the Theater. Join the Westchester Jazz Orchestra as they launch their 2009-10 season, featuring guitarist Paul Scofield. The Irvington Town Hall Theater Commission has just finalized a new and very special film series this year using the latest in digital technology.
ITHT Foundation Inc.'s Clocktower Players has started its fall registration for all the young budding thespians. The October 17th gala fundraiser, Sophisticated Fun, featuring a stellar line-up of Broadway talent, is sure to be a sensational evening of cabaret. Their fall adult musical this year is Camelot, in November. Camelot tells the tale of the court of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The name has come to mean a place or time of idyllic happiness. Camelot opened just weeks after John F. Kennedy’s election. Alan J. Lerner, who wrote the book and lyrics, was JFK’s classmate at Choate and Harvard. In an interview with Life magazine after the assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy confessed that “I’m so ashamed of myself-all I keep thinking of is this line from a musical comedy.” At night they would listen to the musical on their record player before they went to sleep, and JFK’s favorite song came at the very end of the recording. According to Jackie, President Kennedy had been enamored of the Knights of the Round Table from early childhood and he held to an idealistic view of history replete with heroes. Linking JFK with Camelot, Jackie Kennedy remarked that “There’ll be great presidents again…but there’ll never be another Camelot.” “Don’t let it be forgot / That once there was a spot / For one brief, shining moment that was known as Camelot.” – President Kennedy’s favorite lyrics from the Broadway show. It gets you every time!

ITHT Foundation Inc.'s Clocktower Players has started its fall registration for all the young budding thespians. The October 17th gala fundraiser, Sophisticated Fun, featuring a stellar line-up of Broadway talent, is sure to be a sensational evening of cabaret. Their fall adult musical this year is Camelot, in November. Camelot tells the tale of the court of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The name has come to mean a place or time of idyllic happiness. Camelot opened just weeks after John F. Kennedy’s election. Alan J. Lerner, who wrote the book and lyrics, was JFK’s classmate at Choate and Harvard. In an interview with Life magazine after the assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy confessed that “I’m so ashamed of myself-all I keep thinking of is this line from a musical comedy.” At night they would listen to the musical on their record player before they went to sleep, and JFK’s favorite song came at the very end of the recording. According to Jackie, President Kennedy had been enamored of the Knights of the Round Table from early childhood and he held to an idealistic view of history replete with heroes. Linking JFK with Camelot, Jackie Kennedy remarked that “There’ll be great presidents again…but there’ll never be another Camelot.” “Don’t let it be forgot / That once there was a spot / For one brief, shining moment that was known as Camelot.” – President Kennedy’s favorite lyrics from the Broadway show. It gets you every time!

Based along the shores of the Hudson River in Dobbs Ferry, New York, the band first got together as the Pumpkin Seeds in 2007 for a one-time Halloween gig.

veterans group to meet...new playground at nature center proposed
A new veterans advisory group will be meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11 AM at Greenburgh Town Hall. If you are a veteran and are interested in serving on this committee – please join us.
The Greenburgh Town Board met with the Greenburgh Nature Center leadership today and discussed their master plan. Among exciting initiatives for the nature center (to be funded by private, not taxpayer dollars) is a Nature’s Playground. This will be a unique nature themed playground designed to engage children in outdoor exploration and discovery. The recreation area will serve children ages 2-12 and will provide a variety of play elements intended to mimic the natural environment. Possible elements include an artificial spider web to climb, a beaver dam to walk across, an eagle nest to sit in and a fossil dig area to explore. Kurt Hundgen (gnckhunden@aol.com) is the executive director for the nature center. His office is overseeing private fundraising efforts for this exciting initiative. If you would like to get involved please contact him.
Over the years I have advocated a playground at the Nature Center –that is geared to pre-school children. The two playgrounds (located at the schools) is not open to the public during school hours. A pre school playground at the nature center will serve an important need for Edgemont residents (and for the rest of the town).

FREE EQUALS FANTASTIC IN ELMSFORD!
In recent months I have been posting info about exciting & fun programs. Many of the events are featured, in detail, on www.rivertownsguide.com.
Some of these fun activities are free or very inexpensive. Free does not mean poor quality.
Tonight, for example, I attended the outdoor concert sponsored by the village of Elmsford at DeLuca Park. The concert featured Charlie Lagond & Friends (Omar Hakim, Darryl Tookes, Gene Torres, Yayoi Ikawa, Armand Hirsch). The program was fantastic --the quality of the music outstanding.
These musicians have performed at Presidential inauguration balls and have performed with artists such as CHuck Mangione, the Jackson Five, The Temptations, The Spinners, Natalie Cole, Mariah Carey, Madonna, David Bowie, Sting, Quincy Jones, etc...
The stage lighting added to the event. Everyone who attended had a great time. By the way--Charlie Lagond has a music school "Lagond Music School" in Elmsford.
The village of Elmsford deserves much praise for sponsoring such a high quality program. Many residents of unincorporated Greenburgh also enjoyed the event.
I hope that next year we can organize a town-wide weekend fun activities calendar--coordinating, among the river villages and town fun events so the dates don't conflict with each other. Each of the participating communities should help publicize all the programs neighboring communities sponsor.
PLEASE TRY TO ATTEND SOME OF THE UPCOMING EVENTS HELD IN YOUR BACK YARD. YOU WON"T BE DISAPPOINTED.

NY CONSTRUCTION HONORS LIBRARY CONSTRUCTION
New York Construction's Best of 2009 Winners Announced: Yankee Stadium Earns Project of the Year Honors
Posted by jack_buehrer at 9/14/2009 5:26 PM CDT
It's always nice to recognize people and firms for the hard work they've done. It's even more gratifying to reward excellence after a tough year.
And 2009 was a tough year.
But on Thursday, Sept. 10, we convened a panel of distinguished judges - experts from all across the region, representing different states, firms, associations and disciplines - to select the Best Projects of 2009 from the nearly 150 total submissions. That number was down from previous years, thanks, mostly, to fewer project completions than we've seen in a decade. But within those submissions, the judges found 45 unique projects worth recognizing. A remarkable feat for a year that gave us so few reasons to smile.
This year's competition also saw all of the McGraw -Hill regional publications welcome submissions from outside their traditional coverage areas in an effort to allow consideration for projects in all 50 states. New York Construction, which already covers New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, opened up its competition to New England. And New England responded by earning awards for projects in Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
We'll be honoring all the winning projects at our annual Best Of Awards Breakfast in New York on December 10. Firms that worked on any of the winning projects will be be getting details on that event in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, let's hand out some hardware. See all winning projects below:

BICYCLE SHARING RACKS SHOULD BE INSTALLED AT AREA TRAIN STATIONS TO PROMOTE TOURISM, CYCLING, HELP MERCHANTS
GREENBURGH SUPERVISOR PROPOSES BIKE SHARING PROGRAM TO HUDSON RIVER COMMUNITIES
WILL PROMOTE TOURISM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT THE TRAFFIC...
RENT A BICYCLE RACKS SHOULD BE INSTALLED AT TRAIN STATIONS ALONG HUDSON RIVER...
Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner is suggesting to the Greenburgh river villages (Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown) and to officials in the other Hudson River communities (Yonkers, Ossining, Sleepy Hollow, Croton, Briarcliff Manor, Cortlandt, Buchanan and Peekskill ) that they consider placing bicycle sharing racks near the Hudson River or at train stations in their communities.
Feiner believes that bike sharing can help promote tourism to our river communities. Visitors to our villages and communities could take the train to Westchester and then rent an inexpensive bicycle. If a number of the river villages/cities have bike sharing racks, cyclists could visit one, two or many different communities. They can get on a bicycle at one location and drop off the bicycle at another train station. This will help our downtown merchants and will also encourage more tourism, without the traffic. Bike sharing could also be convenient for Westchester residents who may not have their own bicycle or may not want to take their bike from their home to the different river communities.
Bike sharing programs exist all over the nation and world. Feiner is suggesting that instead of making the bikes free that cyclists be charged a fee to use the bicycle for a few hours or for the day. The time has come for Westchester communities to implement this innovative concept.
Feiner is a bicyclist and has cycled from Hartsdale to Washington DC in the past to promote federal initiatives to encourage safe cycling.

AN INCREDIBLE WEEKEND OF FUN...WORK SESSION AGENDA
COMPLAINT---THERE ARE TOO MANY FUN CHOICES TO MAKE THIS WEEKEND. GREENBURGH’S ANNUAL DOG SWIM (Sunday), the weekend events in Irvington, the 3rd annual Take me to the River Music Festival in Hastings, the Dobbs Ferry Festa, the Eco Fair in Tarrytown, the RiverArts Welcome Party in Hastings. And, much, much more. I can’t remember a weekend with so many incredible choices to make. Each of these events is world class quality!
Frank Jazzo, town historian, just advised me that Greenburgh will be sponsoring two ADDITIONAL EVENTS THIS WEEKEND—Hart’s Brook Park & Preserve 10-12. Hear about the history of the former Gaisman Estate and tour its unusual barn and stable that has yet to house a single cow or horse. Then take a guided walk to the pond in the Preserve. Tomorrow—at 1:30 meet at the Ridge Road county park (parking lot). You will walk a wooded trail to the historic Odell House property in Greenburgh, which served as a headquarters for French General Rochambeau for six weeks in 1781 while George Washington and his Continental Army camped less than a mile away. Rain or shine!
SUGGESTION---THERE SHOULD BE A GREENBURGH REGISTRY OF EVENTS. THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES SHOULD COORDINATE SCHEDULES SO TERRIFIC PROGRAMS WON’T ALL TAKE PLACE ON THE SAME DATES.

AMAZING IRVINGTON WEEKEND BEGINS FRIDAY
Lights on Irvington!
Celebrate our wonderful village in 3 days of feel-good, family-friendly festivities, including the Illumination of Village Hall, a Vintage Main Street Fair, evening Fireworks, and an Old-Fashioned Family Picnic in Scenic Hudson Park!
OVERVIEW
As part of our 2009 Hudson Quadricentennial celebration, Lights on Irvington looks back to the start of the modern era in 1909, when our village celebrated the Hudson Tri-Centennial in grand style. It was only 100 years ago, but what a different world. Flight had just been achieved, cars were rare - Broadway wasn’t even paved, silent movies and ragtime were popular entertainment. In New York City, the very first skyscrapers were being built. It was a time before radio, television, satellites and space flight…let alone computers, cell phones, iPods and the Internet.
Come join us for a weekend full of festivities!

CPR SHOULD BE MANDATED IN ALL SCHOOLS
At a recent meeting of the Greenburgh Town Board two residents spoke of the value of CPR training. One mother advised the Town Board that her small childs life was saved because a child care provider who worked for her provided CPR after the child choked (and after the frightened mother failed to successfully stop the choking).
The presentation made me reflect on an unpleasant fact: most people do not know what to do if a family member has a choking incident. Even if someone had CPR training years ago –if they don’t get refreshers, they will forget what needs to be done.
I would like to suggest that all school districts teach every middle school and high school student CPR. CPR training by a qualified instructor could save lives. Students should also learn how to relieve choking and how to use an AED –automated external defibrillator.
If one life is saved because of this annual instruction it would be worth the cost. Providing CPR training to every middle school and high school student and reinforcing the training each year makes a tremendous amount of sense.

STUDENT HERO TO BE HONORED TONIGHT
Earlier this summer I received a call from an elderly woman in her 90s who has ALS. Her property was beginning to look like an eyesore –with overgrown grass. Neighbors were upset. I sent out an e mail seeking volunteers. Jake Schiappacasse, a 16 year old sophomore at Ardsley High School, answered the call to help. He volunteered his time mowing her lawn –and reducing the stress level of the elderly woman.
Jake is being honored by the Greenburgh Town Board as our “Student Hero of the Month”. He is a real inspiration. He is modest, and has a desire to help others. The Town Board is meeting at 7:30 PM

RESPONSE FROM SENATOR COUSINS- LOGGING ON SPRAIN PARKWAY
In response to your e-mail to Paul Feiner's office on 7/28/09 and forwarded to Our albany office by U.S. Mail on 8/20/09. I was able to reach the Dept. of Transportation in Poughkeepsie. They have assured me that the clean up of the trees along the Sprain Brook Parkway will be completed within 4 to 6 weeks. They have stated that it is much easier and faster to do the cutting and piling at one time and then the removal and cleaning up all at once. If we can be of further assistance please contact us.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL JOB HUNT
Deborah ... Dana got the job teaching pre-school . Thanks for all your support Paul4 hours
STAR REDUCTIONS BY COMMUNITY
2009/2010 STAR SCHOOL TAX SAVINGS--AND HOW MUCH YOUR STAR BENEFITS WERE REDUCED BY COMMUNITY.... This info was prepared by the office of the Receiver of Taxes (David Dwinell is the Receiver).
STAR is a state program. The NY State Legislature determines how much funding is appropriated for STAR. Funding was reduced from the state budget due to the NYS budget crisis.
The first number is the STAR subsidy. The second number is how much the taxpayer is losing in STAR assistance compared to last year. In Tarrytown, for example, the reduction was $335.75 for basic STAR. Seniors who receive enhanced star saw their STAR benefits go down by $628.58.

SCHOOL TAX BILLS ARE UP BECAUSE STAR BENEFITS ARE DOWN
Most homeowners received their school tax bills in the mail today. Most people probably are not very happy. Many have seen their school tax bills increase by $300 to over $600 a year. The town is not responsible for school taxes. The school districts are independent of the town. We are a tax collector for the schools and guarantee the school districts 100% of the taxes --whether you pay them or not. (If you don't pay the taxes the town is eventually able to take ownership of your property, however).
In fairness to the school districts -- most school districts in Greenburgh had small tax hikes this year. The reason why the school taxes went up so much is because the NY State Legislature (thanks to the bad economy) reduced STAR and ENHANCED STAR benefits.
In the late 1990s the State started the STAR program--school tax relief program.The STAR program was designed to reduce residential school taxes. The legislature recognized the fact that the size of a homeowner's school tax has grown by multiples over the years and is, in fact, one of the homeowner's largest expenses, second only to mortgage interest. In order to provide some relief to New York State's homeowners, the STAR program was enacted. There are two STAR programs in effect - one for seniors over the age of 65 who are on fixed incomes and those who are under the age of 65.
The town has compiled a comparison of the impact, by community, of the STAR reductions. If you would like a copy please e mail me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com
