Image via Wikipedia

 This is the third quarterly report of 2010, describing major initiatives underway.  Though much of the quarter overlaps what should be a quiet summer, there’s much going on.  The quarter’s highlights were several events organized by volunteers and done with the substantial support of the Village:  the Volunteer Fireman’s Parade this last Saturday, the “Take Me To The River” concert in early September, and a magic-themed Friday Night Live in July.  All were blow-out events with hundreds of participants and great fun.

A Mid-Summer Update from the Mayor BY Peter Swiderski

A brief update on Village matters; things to look forward to; things going on as we sweat through these dog days of summer.   

Waterfront

==========

We expect Exxon and Chevron to start the remediation of the southern end of the waterfront before the end of the summer.  An exciting moment, and one we have been waiting for decades.  BP Arco will be bringing engineers in to look at the remaining building (Building 52) on the waterfront, in concert with a team of Village volunteers,  to determine what needs to be done to preserve it.   Earlier this year, we won a commitment of $2 million from BP to preserve that structure, and this is the first step.

A Note on Coyotes BY PETER SWIDERSKI

Hastings-on-Hudson, NY -- Over the last week, there have been two coyote attacks on children in Rye. I would like to take a moment to review some ground rules about coexisting with coyotes.  There have been a number of coyote sightings in Hastings (I observed a robust, adult coyote on my own block earlier in June) and so it seems prudent to pass on advice on what you can do.
