Artists' Work Is Not Just A Labor Of Love WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Over the years, many people have asked me, “Do you know an artist who would volunteer to .. paint a mural for my son’s school … perform at a benefit for our library … do a workshop for a group of seniors?” This is a well-meaning request on the part of someone who wants to do good for a cause. Yet, my answer would always be “no.” So, on this the advent of Labor Day, as an artist myself, I would like to come clean on this matter. Yes. Of course I know lots of artists who would probably stand up for a good cause in a Westchester minute. The truth is that, I …

New Chef Brings International Experience To Darien Restaurant DARIEN, Conn. – Regis Saget’s dream as a young chef in France was to come to the United States to work.

I’ve been here ever since.” That was 13 years ago, and although Saget traveled across the country on a three-week trip on one of his first vacations, he has fou…

Opinion: Pound Ridge Political Shenanigans POUND RIDGE, N.Y. -- In early July, my first Daily Voice opinion piece resulted in a few interesting comments. Some were good and some critical, including two made by a local Republican who accused me of not only being a Democratic Party hack but also being several females who made some of the more positive comments.

The Republican candidate for supervisor, Dick Lyman, was the first to respond and made the effort to meet with me. Until I am able to int…
