A Fairytale Reality
By Gia Miller Photography by Justin Negard Deep in the forest, the morning sun is bursting through the canopy. Its rays beam down, straight into a gushing, cascading waterfall. A lone hummingbird is ready to dive in, perhaps searching for its next meal. A crow sits idly on a branch. About halfway down and slightly to the right, there’s a ...
Finding Her Voice
Writing and photography by Justin Negard Alissa Leigh Cahillane was panicking. “We were flying home from a summer vacation to Yosemite in 2019,” Cahillane, who goes by Alissa Leigh professionally, remembers. “Suddenly, I was on the plane, and my arms were numb, my face was numb. The internal dialogue in my head was terrifying me, but I didn’t say a ...
The Science of Soil
Many students might know John Jay High School senior Caleb Lee as a member of the varsity basketball team, president of the videography club or a musician who plays both guitar and piano.

Antioch Church
In approximately 1887, Bedford’s African American community, who routinely congregated for services in their homes, registered as a religious corporation in the State of New York. Led by Reverend F. C. McGee, neighbors worked together over the next several years to build a place of worship. By 1894, the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church completed construction in Bedford Centre. Now, Antioch ...

Burgers, hot dogs and beer – where our favorite July 4th foods are really from
Whether you refer to it as the Fourth of July 4th or American Independence Day, July Fourth is a day typically filled with family and friends, hamburgers and hotdogs, and, if you’re old enough, a few beers. However, none of these things were actually invented in the U.S. – they all hail from Germany. Here’s a little background on where ...

When it comes to gardening, think natural tech before high tech

When conditions lean toward the extreme, there are a host of challenges and concerns for gardeners. Luckily, it’s 2024 and technological developments in garden care abound. 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 ...
Cooking & Cocktails
Coconut Fat Wash
By Dr. Elixir Mixing cocktails at home can easily result in your cocktails matching or exceeding cocktails served in most restaurants. A technique that has been around for a long time that is now coming back in fashion is “fat washing” the alcohol. This is an easy to do technique that has the unique benefits of softening the harshness of ...
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 ...
Mai Tai
Photography by Justin Negard On a hot summer day, I find classic tropical drinks very refreshing, and a Mai Tai is one of my favorites. This version is only slightly different from the standard recipe as I’ve added pineapple liqueur to the mix. To elevate the drink from “poolside bar” to “cocktail worth bragging about,” focus on your ingredients – ...
