Today we started the filming and production of the first episode of our cable TV show.
We started the morning at Chatterton Parkway, filming the area, the traffic situation, some road signs, and the group home. We then interviewed Vic Leviatin about his personal experiences relating to the issue, and his feelings about public safety. We also interviewed Paul Feiner about his political standpoint.
After our filming session, we went to Woodlands High School and met Constantine Andreadis and other teachers at the the school. We are planning an effort to work with students at Woodlands and other people in the community, to try and get them involved in this project.
In the next two weeks, we will be preparing a presentation to make for the Junior Class at Woodlands High School, and hope that they will become a part of this project.

Three developmentally disabled residents of a group home with Down Syndrome want to raise money to get a sidewalk built on Chatterton Parkway in Greenburgh, NY.
Guides
- Emily Kingsley (Our Sponser)
- Mr. Henry (Our Mentor)
- Mr. Leong (Our Case Manager)
People We Have Met
- Paul Feiner (Greenburgh Town Supervisor)
- Allyson Felix (Part-Time Consultant)
- Sgt. Gillis
- Greenburgh Town Engineers
- Nita Lowey (U.S. Congresswoman)
- Peter Feroe (Assistant to Nita)
- The 3 Musketeers - Jason Kingsley, Raymond Frost, Yaniv Gorodischer
- Lawrence Birnbach
- Vic Leviatin (former teacher at Woodlands High School)
Obstacles
- Some guy who works in an office at the Greenburgh Town Hall. He tries to discourage us by implying that we are not working hard enough and doesn't take us or this project seriously. It is very frustrating when people think that we are not accomplishing work just because we are interns and in high school. We face this obstacle with many other companies that we call up to support us, but we are determined to make this project happen and to make a difference.
Sidewalk Obstacles
- The road is very narrow and steep. The phone poles are too close to the road and it would cost extra money to move them. Moving the phone poles closer to the houses will most likely be dangerous because we do not understand the medical consequences of living closer to the power lines.
-Liabilities of the sidewalk being on private property.
