Update on the Woerner/Catalfamo race. The results from Election Day and Early Voting have this race at less than 1%. The challenger is 990 votes down, but there are about 16,000 absentee ballots that have yet to be counted, according to a press release from the Catalfamo camp. Final results should be known in the days ahead.

Trump wins Washington County. As for other races, favorites/incumbents are easily winning locally, except the 113th Assembly district (Carrie Woerner vs. David Catalfamo) is too close to call.

FROM OUR ARCHIVES 100 Years Ago November 3, 1920 "As usual, the Town of Greenwich carries off the palm for Washington County in the matter of rolling up Republican majorities. Its contributions to (President Warren) Harding's state plurality of a million or so is 1,349 something more than 500 above the biggest Republican plurality ever polled here. ... The Republicans in this town worked hard and got out a record-breaking vote. Women, although comparatively new at the game of politics, showed themselves to be efficient workers at the polls, and there was no lack of enthusiasm among them for the Republican cause."

Halloween psychic readings at Windy Hill C-B-D Windy Hill C-B-D is hosting a Psychic Fair on Halloween from 5-10 p.m. For $85, guests can spend up to 30 minutes each with various mediums, including Joan Scannell (tarot cards, numerology), Leslie Shustak (palmistry, cards and general intuition), and Readings by Whitney (readingsbywhitney.com). The store is located at 106 Main St. in Greenwich and reservations can be booked via Facebook at facebook.com/events/438924447013521.... Social distancing protocols will be in effect. Windy Hill C-B-D’s Holly Harris is organizing the first-annual event. I had a friend mention to me she felt something in her home a presence of sorts. Then the light bulb went off and I was like what if I have an event at the shop, Harris said. I had to make sure it could be COVID compliant and, based on where each reader is positioned in the building, it was the perfect location. One medium will be in Windy Hill C-B-D, another will be in the space next to that store and the third in a space at the rear of Sip n Swirl. The response has been amazing, Harris stated. This is actually the second event. The first one was on Sept. 26 and that sold out in a hour, so I contacted more readers and each one has her own specialty and we decided to plan it on Halloween. Harris plans to do more psychic-themed events around the December Solstice and Spring Equinox These events bring more people downtown and help increase our foot traffic, she added.
