All That Jazz
Writing by Gia Miller Photography by Justin Negard When Ian Hendrickson-Smith (a.k.a. Uncle Cheef – a college nickname that stuck) was a high school sophomore in State College, PA, he rebelled against his parents by buying a saxophone. Already a serious musician, Uncle Cheef practiced the flute eight hours a day, and his grades were suffering. His parents told him ...
Got a Sec?
We spent Saturday, July 30 at Caramoor's Jazz Festival, which was presented in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center. As we listened to the incredibly talented lineup, we were inspired to ask those who stopped by our booth what instrument they'd like to play in a jazz band. Here's what a few of them had to say. Jim Atwood, Bedford ...

Whether you are new to plant care or a leather-necked vet, ...
Keep it Growing
Writing by Leslie Dock Artwork by Zoe Stevensy Tips for a consistent harvest Afew months ago, my brother asked me what farmers do during the winter. My immediate response was, “We rest.” Compared to the absurd amount of activity farmers engage in during the other nine months of the year, this statement is largely accurate. When not resting, a farmer ...

All-American
In 2015, at the Burlington, VT, farmer’s market, I was introduced to the best vodka I ever tasted. It was called Literary Dog, and it was created and produced by David Howe at his farm, which later became known as Elm Brook Farm. Their vodka was derived from maple syrup and distilled 23 times. I was so impressed by their ...

Understanding the Key to Longevity
by Ava Fleisher It’s easy to use the phrase “we’ll all die someday” as an excuse to neglect your health. But the truth is, it’s really not that easy. Sometimes, if you focus on the right things in the right places, the average American lifespan of 77 years can be more lively and even lengthened. Ask yourself: “Wouldn’t I rather ...

Hey Harvest Fest, Blues Traveler Would Like Some Pita Chips, Please
When The Pound Ridge Partnership asked us if we’d like to interview Blues Traveler guitarist Chandler Kinchla (who goes by Chan), we said yes, of course. But what can you ask a band who has no secrets? In true Katonah Connect style, we created a dozen unconventional questions, and Chan happily played along. Forty minutes later, we’d covered everything from ...
