There’s a great reason to vote for the Bedford Democrats by Nov. 2. They will save money for our town and you. And at the same time assure all of us in Bedford prosperous, healthier lives right now and in the future.
I’m writing about comments made by Don Scott in his recent interview, and other stories about the Bedford Town Supervisor’s race.
We are writing in support of Ellen Calves’ candidacy for Bedford Town Supervisor. Her leadership can be a game changer for the smart economic growth we need in town.
I am happy to support Andrés Castillo as a candidate for Bedford Town Board. This year’s local election is a significant one for our community. If elected, Andrés will make history by becoming the first Latinx town board member.
Mary Shah may not be a name you have regularly heard until this election. This is not because of her lack of wonderful work in the Town of Lewisboro, but is because Mary Shah is a person who does not need fanfare, accolades or credit for all she has done. She does the hard, quiet work, simpl…
When I first joined the Bedford Town Board in 2018, I imagined that I would run for supervisor one day. It took me very little time to realize that I was not at all suited to the job, nor was it suited to me. I did not understand until I was on the board myself that the supervisor position r…
My husband, Chevy Chase, and I care deeply about this community. We’re all in this together, facing increasing uncertainties — the stress of the COVID pandemic and our capricious weather patterns are downright scary. We believe that our local leadership is vitally important to our well-bein…
I write to commend to your readers Andrea Rendo for town board of Lewisboro. The board is in dire need of an analytical, experienced and even-tempered professional attorney with deep and broad experience in local town law matters. I have known Andrea for almost two decades and can think of n…
There is a “new group” representing the Republican Party in the Town of Bedford, but party labels beg the question of who will be best for our town going forward. As co-founder and former president of Bedford 2030, I worked closely with both Lee Roberts and Chris Burdick. Lee, a Republican, …

When we first moved to Bedford, we kept hearing from so many different people that we had to meet one of our Bedford neighbors, Alli Choi. This kept coming up in conversation after conversation from friends of all backgrounds, ages and perspectives. We’re not sure we’ve ever known someone to…
Prior to moving to Lewisboro and then as a new resident, I started following town politics, exploring local businesses and attending neighborhood events. Coming from the city, I appreciated the open space, beautiful greenery all around and the quaint but vibrant local businesses-owners and p…
It takes courage, conviction, compassion and common sense to be town justice, where you’re asked to make decisions that impact people’s lives and uphold community values. For us, Jodi Kimmel has earned that trust time and time again.
The Republican Lewisboro Town Board candidates are claiming the current Democratic board is out of touch, that they have mismanaged the town, don’t listen and suppress free speech. This is the typical mantra of candidates whose only agenda is winning an election. In fact, it is the Republic…
I’m disheartened to see so much support based on party lines and endorsements instead of candidate qualifications and positions. I would hope that voters in the Town of Bedford would do their own research, other than simply relying on endorsements. Political endorsements at the local level a…
I am writing in response to the letter written by the Boyds (“Only one candidate has town experience essential to be town CEO,” Oct. 1) that understated the importance of the Police Reform Committee and seemed to misunderstand completely its purpose.
I am writing to express my strong support for Stephanie McCaine for Bedford Town Board. My husband and I have been residents of Katonah since 1997 and have known Stephanie since our daughters met as kindergarteners 10 years ago. My experiences with Stephanie are multi-faceted and my enthusia…
My fellow Pound Ridge voters, you may wonder what’s important about this upcoming general election.
Andrea Rendo is my choice for Lewisboro Town Board. I have known Andrea for almost 15 years. She, and her husband, Todd, have raised their two children in Lewisboro. She is an outstanding attorney, wife and mother, who cares so deeply for our community. She has demonstrated this by constantl…
Please join me in helping Ellen Calves become our next Bedford supervisor.
Whatever their affiliation, I believe that all candidates in Bedford are genuinely invested in the well-being of our town. That said, Ellen Calves stands out. I have worked with her on many projects, such as the TIOLI shed for sharing household items, Bedford’s Community Composting and the R…
I am writing in support of Jodi Kimmel for Bedford Town Justice. I have known Jodi for about eight years and, in this time, I have gotten to know her as a person and a community leader.
Ellen Calves has won my vote and I encourage others to cast your support for Ellen as town supervisor. Our family is relatively new to this town, so we came to Katonah/Bedford with no experience with any of the candidates, but it has been only Ellen who reached out to us and taken the time t…
Tony Goncalves, Jane Crimmins and Mary Shah offer different backgrounds and skill sets to the Lewisboro Town Board, but they are united in their commitment to “small d” democracy. They understand such democracy needs a framework to ensure that all residents, not only the loudest voices, can …
I am writing in support of the Bedford Democratic slate as they will continue the great work they have developed over the past few years such as focusing on local issues like park districts, and aiding seniors, along with a Climate Action Plan to adapt against worsening storms along with man…
I am thrilled to endorse Stephanie McCaine for Bedford Town Board as I know her professionally as an engaged and thoughtful board member of Westchester Youth Alliance, where she volunteers her time to serve both on the strategy committee and as a youth advisor. Stephanie has been an involved…
Richard Esman in a recent letter claims the Pound Ridge library board is fiscally responsible. In fact, I’d never thought about it. But he made me wonder: Where does their money come from? The library has well over $1 million in reserve. Where from, I wonder? If they collected $3, nickel by …
Ellen Calves is an impressive, effective leader who will make the Bedford community a better place. Over the past seven years, I have had the good fortune to work side by side with Ellen at Bedford 2020/2030 and Katonah Village Improvement Society, as well as on community volunteer projects.…

On Tuesday, Oct. 5, at 6:32 a.m., police and Pound Ridge Volunteer Ambulance Corps were called to aid a female, 85, who had injuries from a fall.
The ebb and flow of cool and warm makes this time of year a bit challenging for me as I hang on to the last vestiges of summer while always having an extra sweater or jacket in tow. In the garden, there’s that same seasonal tug as some of the plants are done for the season, and still others …
