Lewisboro Police Chief David Alfano and Horse & Hound Inn owner Sue Vales with the long-missing sign that recently turned up.


The owner of the Horse and Hound Inn, on Spring Street, South Salem, called Lewisboro Police on Thursday, Oct. 3, to report that she had received a phone call from a real estate agent regarding a sign allegedly stolen from the restaurant about 30 years ago.

Sue Vales, who is the chef and owner of the inn, showed police a picture of the sign which is 10- to 12-feet wide, and about 18-inches high. It has a white background, black block lettering and a black ribbon outline. 

The next day police went to an unspecified location and saw the sign outside a storefront. Police spoke with the business owner who said a friend asked if he could put the sign out front with the purpose of selling it. He said his friend had purchased it from an estate sale where it was found inside an old barn and had no idea the sign was stolen. 

They gave it to the officer who met with Vales at the Horse & Hound, where police surprised her by returning it.

Model train show on display in Bedford Hills through Jan. 28

The Bedford Hills Historical Museum is hosting a “New Model Train Show” on the lower level of the Town of Bedford building located at 321 Bedford Road, Bedford Hills.

The display is open Thursday and Saturday through Jan. 28, from 1 to 3 p.m. 

Visitors can see the HO Gauge model trains run on the track in the village that was built by the late Dr. Robert Bibi of Katonah and donated by his wife, Maria, and reinstalled at the museum. With the guidance of our board member and train aficionado, Rick Carmichael, members of the Olde Newburgh Model Railroad Club installed the HO-gauge set at the museum where it remains on display. 

The museum says the new model train display is great for kids of all ages and adults, and it’s free of charge.
