Weekly Editorial Roundup

Returning on this week’s editorial roundup is Bob Dumas, editor of Mahopac News. Today Bob joins Brian Marschhauser, editor of Yorktown News and The Katonah Lewisboro Times, as well as Tom Walogorsky, editor of North Salem News and The Somers Record, to give listeners a health update after his recent 16-day stay in the hospital due to a diabetic foot ulcer. Dumas talks about the outpouring of support and well wishes he has received, and host Brett Freeman shares some of the latest news out of Mahopac, including the heartwarming story of the community rallying behind a Fulmar Road third-grader who was recently diagnosed with aplastic anemia.

Walogorsky offers some exciting personal news, then touches on the upcoming elections in Somers and North Salem, and provides details on an ongoing larceny investigation in Somers. Marschhauser talks about his unique baseball collection, a possible hybrid model for Town Hall meetings in Yorktown and Katonah, and his interview with a local family who will be appearing on “Family Feud.” Walogorsky shares information on the GoFundMe pages that have been set up for the families of Christine Camarra and Dawn Herbert, and Dumas discusses the “Back the Blue” walk in support of Putnam police officers, as well as the Mahopac Street Fair.
