_Happy Columbus Day! The Villages remind us that government agencies (post office, village halls, and of course the schools) will be closed today with no trash pick up.

_Wondering what to do with your kids today? How about a stroll down Beekman to enjoy the window art. The annual window-painting tradition is particularly impressive this year, thanks to students in SHHS teacher Kristen Dreher's AP Studio Art and Portfolio seminar classes. (And thanks to Village Rec. Director Robin Pell for inviting them). Photos here!

_Day off yourself? Perhaps it's a good time to re-register for your Basic STAR property tax exemption. (Easier than it sounds, and now required if you want to receive this exemption in 2014 and beyond.) More on this here. However, while the government said they are doing this in an effort to cut down on fraud, Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner objects to another unfunded mandate. What do you think?

_Tarrytown Rec. Dept. reminds us there's still room to sign up your group or float to march (or ride) in the Halloween Parade on Saturday, Oct. 26. More info here. Don't Wait!
