20|EAST and Cazenovia Cut Block will host an anniversary celebration and “Caz Life Social” on Thursday, May 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. By kate hill Staff writer
McKenzie Houseman, owner of 20|EAST and Cazenovia Cut Block, will celebrate the anniversaries of her two small businesses and host a “Caz Life Social” on Thursday, May 8, leading up to Mother’s Day weekend. The event, held at 85 Albany St. from 5 to 7 p.m., will feature multiple vendors offering samples and items to purchase. Cazenovia Cut Block is a woodworking company that designs and handcrafts
one-of-a-kind pieces from wood native to New York State. The 20|EAST farm store is a one-stop shop for Cazenovia Cut Block items, gifts, local art, artisan products, fresh flowers, and NYS-sourced food
items. “Funny enough, it is an anniversary for both 20|EAST and Cazenovia Cut Block,” said Houseman. “Both businesses debuted on Mother’s Day Weekend, Cazenovia Cut Block in 2009 and
20|EAST in 2017. It is very exciting.” Houseman said that throughout the years, her most significant business lesson was learned during the height of the COVID19 pandemic. Anniversary l Page 10
Town of Cazenovia Come-as-you-are jazz hits the stage seeks input on The Little Jazz Trio holds forth Friday at the Brae Loch community recreation By Russ Tarby Contributing Writer
By kate hill Staff writer
The Town of Cazenovia is currently conducting a comprehensive recreation study of the Cazenovia area to yield a more efficient use of resources to provide recreational programming. Funded with a $30,000 grant awarded to the town through the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and secured with assistance from NYS Assemblyman Al Stirpe, the study will examine the full spectrum of recreation in the community, including programs for youth, seniors, the arts, and athletics. The study aims to identify existing resources, assess current recreational offerings, and uncover potential service gaps. The town has engaged Sara Wall Bollinger of SWB Consulting Services for the study. “‘Healthy Community’ and ‘Interwoven Equity’ are two of the planning principles in the recently adopted Town of Cazenovia Comprehensive Plan Update 2030,” said Councilor Kelli Johnson, the town’s senior recreation & joint youth recreation liaison. “‘Measures designed to promote physical and mental well-being of individuals, families, and the community at large through access to recreational opportunities’ is the objective of the Healthy Community principle, and expanding the level of social capital for all residents is an indicator of the Interwoven Town l Page 13
The Little Jazz Trio’s musical niche is not what one normally encounters. “We play accessible jazz on guitar, trumpet and electric bass,” says guitarist Harvey Nusbaum, a veteran of the Cranberry Lake Jug Band. “To be accessible, we keep the melody clear and the harmony simple.” The Syracuse-based trio will perform on Fridays, May 2 and June 20, at the Brae Loch Inn, 5 Albany St., in Cazenovia. The Little Jazz Trio features bassist Bob Lyna, guitarist Nusbaum and trumpeter Ray Sturge. Nusbaum considers the band’s repertoire “come-as-you-are jazz.”
