Or maybe you've seen her name on the credits of the newly released film, "Beneath the Helmet," a documentary about life in the Israeli Army. The artist, educator and lecturer, now living in Israel, said she never imagined she'd be in the trenches walking nine kilometers backwards to film a scene in the hot sun, but that making this documentary was a labor of love -- and a story that needs to be told.…

A new spring menu at the Dobbs Ferry eatery was revealed last week, featuring lighter entrees and a host of classic cocktails, many of which use kitchen ingredients like herbs and syrups. Executive chef and co-owner Matt Kay, who runs the family-friendly restaurant with his brother, Joe, and mom, Cathy, said he's using less butter and cream and more olive oil. He's also turning to the grill more now that the weather has (finally) warmed up. And while you can still expect Southern-inspired …

Fairfield County Foodie Reviews Le Fat Poodle In Old Greenwich FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. - What a breath of fresh air. As I dined at Le Fat Poodle in Old Greenwich it occurred to me that with the tiresome explosion of gastropubs and modern American restaurants all around us, this newcomer is a welcome change. It made me feel like I was on a vacation. Where, I couldn’t say – because it is hard to discern one distinct corner of the globe the restaurant may draw its inspiration from. Could I be in Fiji? Or Paris perhaps? But the mussels tasted like Thailand …. so maybe Asia? The menu and decor at this eclectic restaurant pulls inspiration from an unus…

What Are You Stressed About, Putnam? PUTNAM COUNTY, N.Y. -- In case you missed it because you were too stressed to look up from your desk, April is National Stress Awareness Month, with National Stress Awareness Day set for April 16. Is it a coincidence all this comes just after Tax Day? One can only guess. And if that's not enough, today is National Ex-Spouse Day, created in 1987 by the Rev. Ronald Coleman of Kansas City, Mo. (we won't even go there on what he was thinking). What we do know: National Stress Awareness Day was started by the Health Resource Network in 1992 to raise awareness of stress. We've all heard…

Pound Ridge Sculptor's Show Benefits Northern Westchester Hospital POUND RIDGE, N.Y. -- It's been almost 20 years to the date that Miles Slater, a Pound Ridge resident, created his first serious sculpture. And oh, what a sculpture it was. After watching the news on the Oklahama City bombings, he created a piece based on what he saw. His sculpture, "Rescue," depicting a fireman carrying a child, ended up being selected by the state and now resides in the Memorial Museum in Oklahamo's capital. Having the piece embraced in 1995, according to Slater, was the equivalent of winning a Pulitzer Prize the first time out of the gate. It also cemented his new car…
