Community bonding event upcoming
By Eric Banford
At a time of paralyzing political discussions about different conflicts, the Ithaca Coalition for Unity
and Cooperation in the Middle East
(ICUCME) invites the Ithaca community to connect, human-to-human,
in an activity that benefits the entire
community. On Sunday, Aug. 21 at 5
p.m., “Building Unity: Cleaning the
Hate” will be held at the Cass Park
Pavilion. The event will begin with
music by Vitamin L, a potluck dinner,
a community conversation about what
“cleaning the hate” means to each of
us, followed by a cleanup of trash in
Cass Park.
“The event is a way for people from
different viewpoints and communities
to join together in public service and
demonstrate that coexistence is possible, positive, and within the power
of each of us to make happen,” said
Linda Glaser, chair of ICUCME.
“This is an opportunity to reach out
to the larger community in a way
that expresses what our values are
and what we believe the values of the
Ithaca community are. And that is really about coexistence and working
together to solve the problems in our
world.”
Cleaning the Hate originated with
a joint Palestinian-Israeli peace organization in Israel called Home whose
goal is “the humanization of the other.” The idea has now spread around

The Third Annual Finger Lakes
Permaculture Institute Tour and Convergence will occur the weekend of
Aug. 26-28 at regional farms, homes,
parks, patios and at Cooperative Extension in Montour Falls. This is the
first year the event has expanded to a
full weekend and will include music,
dance and the screening of a film. The
event drew 200 and 400 participants
in its first and second years, and the
Institute hopes for an even larger turn
out this year.
The Finger Lakes Permaculture
Institute (FLPI) was established in
2005 by three individuals with the
goal “to provide high quality permaculture education in the region,” according to Karryn Olson-Ramanujan,
one of the co-founders. At its most
basic, permaculture practitioners utilize a design practice that seeks to
incorporate all of the factors than can
affect a system, such as a farm. It is organized around key principals of care
for the earth, care for people, and fair
share (or, equitable distribution).
“The design process helps them to
tease apart their landscape to come
up with what is best,” said Michael
Burns, one of the co-founders and
an organizer of the tour. According
to Burns, the permaculture process

Public-space recycling bin new to Stewart Park
Photo Provided
The Tompkins County Solid Waste Division
has installed its fourth public space recycling bin
in Ithaca’s Stewart Park, along the Cayuga Waterfront Trail. It features receptacles for both trash and
common single-stream recyclable items like cans,
bottles and newspapers.
The bins are serviced on a regular basis by Casella
Waste Systems, and will be monitored frequently by
Solid Waste Division staff. The City removed other
garbage receptacles in Stewart Park once the public
space bins were installed near the small pavilion and
playground.
“We’ve found an increasing number of communities are focused on expanding recycling opportunities to public settings such as streetscapes and
parks,” said Nancy Webster, an Assistant Recycling
Specialist for Tompkins County. “The more successful programs are those that provide options for both
recycling and trash.”
Tompkins County worked closely with the
City of Ithaca to site the public space bin in Stewart Park. “It will provide park visitors and trail users with a better option to recycle materials, rather
than sending them to a landfill,” said City Forester
Jeanne Grace.
In 2015, the County installed public space recycling bins next to the Public Library on East Green
Street in Ithaca, near the Lansing Town Center on
Route 34, and along Main Street in Trumansburg.
It has plans to site at least two additional public
space bins before the end of 2016. The public space
recycling initiative is one of several programs supported by the County’s solid waste annual fee.

Cayuga Med honored as Fit-Friendly workplace
For the second consecutive year, Cayuga Wellness Center’s Cayuga Center for Healthy Living,
has been awarded an annual national recognition
from the American Heart Association (AHA) for
creating a culture of good health in the workplace.
The award names several of the entities of the
newly name-enhanced Cayuga Wellness Center. “These entities contribute to the wellness and
healthy living for our employees: Cayuga Center for
Healthy Living, Island Health & Fitness, Rasa Spa,
along with the hospital’s nutrition and dining team.
This team has offered a long varied list of healthy
lifestyle programs to our employees that include
exercise, healthy eating and cooking, weight loss
programs, diabetes care, stroke rehab, and smoking
cessation. We are grateful that their hard work has
been recognized each year by this prestigious national award,” said John Rudd, president and CEO
of Cayuga Medical Center.
This innovative wellness center provides a wide
range of health and wellness services for our community and the surrounding region. It brings together a group of approximately 255 professionals
across several specialties — people who are both
knowledgeable in their fields and genuinely committed to the concept of helping clients reach their
personal health goals. Each entity within the Cayuga Wellness Center works in collaboration to
provide a continuum of care.
The award, the Gold Level Fit-Friendly is
earned for providing programs for Cayuga Medical Center employees that meet the AHA’s strict
standards. These standards include: physical activity,
good nutrition, and a culture within the organization that offers and promotes a healthy lifestyle to
its employees.

TOMPKINS WEEKLY
August 15-21, 2016
Last school year, members of the
Belle Sherman Mariachi Ensemble
received a brand new addition to their
band. A Teacher Grant from the Ithaca Public Education Initiative (IPEI)
provided the means for their teacher
Cindy Daly to purchase harps, contributing to multicultural musical enrichment for Belle Sherman Elementary School students.
Mariachi, Mexican folk music, often features harps as a standard instrument. The opportunity to learn to play
the harp is now offered to fourth and
fifth-graders at Belle Sherman allowing them to explore the genre in its
entirety. The grant provided funding
for a community partner, Lisa Craig
Fenwick, as well as purchasing harp
cases, an extra set of strings, small accessories, and the instrument.
Music teacher and band director
Daly expressed her enthusiasm for
this project in her application for the
grant: “I am excited about turning a
one-time experience of telling about
the harp into putting actual harps into
students’ hands and allowing them to
truly experience playing them.”
Fenwick, a professional harpist,
frequented Belle Sherman to teach
the students basic harp techniques.
During her visits, the students were
taught basic harp techniques and given take home materials that outlined
the history of the harp. If students
demonstrated a great interest in harp
technique, Fenwick would conduct a
follow-up lesson with those students
and weekly instruction during the
school day.
Daly also explained that there
could be long-reaching benefits to
this project. “We had a harp soloist
perform with the Boynton Middle
School Orchestra in 2010, and I heard
about a harpist possibly performing
with the Ithaca High School Orchestra,” she said. “Perhaps from a simple
beginning introduction to harp in the
Mariachi ensemble, our next harp
soloist may be inspired to start their
study.”
In addition to the project’s longterm goals, the students were able to
demonstrate what they learned about
the harp during school concerts in
March and May.
IPEI Teacher Grants are awards
up to $1500 for projects that strengthen and enrich learning in the Ithaca
City School District (ICSD).
IPEI is a community-based notfor-profit 501(c)(3) organization that
develops supportive community and
private sector relationships with the
ICSD. For more information, visit

Proceeds from this year’s event
fund major Ithaca Underground
events such as Big Day In, November
Music Series, and Naked Noise. The
fundraising efforts are vital to keeping
the quality and frequency of Ithaca
Underground’s year-round programming and training opportunities.
This year’s fundraising showcase features local performers Misses

Cornell Plantations lecture series set to begin
Cornell Plantations kicks off its Annual Fall
Lecture Series on Wednesday, Aug. 24, with a lecture by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Beat poet, conservationist, and scholar Gary Snyder. The lecture
begins at 5:30 p.m. in Call Alumni Auditorium in
Kennedy Hall on Cornell University’s campus, and
will be followed by a complimentary garden party
in the botanical garden of Cornell Plantations celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Harder Family
Lecture.
Describing his own works, Gary Snyder has
written, “I try to hold both history and wilderness in
mind, that my poems may approach the true measure of things and stand against the unbalance and
ignorance of our times.” According to The Poetry
Foundation, many of Snyder’s poems aim to instill
an ecological consciousness in the reader, and reflect
“a concern for the environment and the plight of
the American Indian as well as insights engendered
by his role as a husband, father and steward of the
land.” In this lecture, he will explore the concept of
“bioregionalism” through the literary works of Daoist and Buddhist hermits and other peoples of the
land, and how that perspective relates to the mission of Cornell Plantations. Snyder will read several
of his ‘Cold Mountain’ translations of poems by the
Tang Dynasty poet Han Shan, as well as some of his
own poems for different landscapes.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring Gary Snyder to Cornell for this 20th Anniversary celebration
of the William and Jane Torrence Harder Lecture,”
stated Dr. Christopher Dunn, the E. N. Wilds director of Cornell Plantations. “The Harders have
always encouraged us to feature speakers that celebrate the link between the literary and natural
world, and Mr. Snyder is a perfect choice. As a Guggenheim Fellow and Pulitzer Prize winner who focuses his time on issues related to wildlife, ecology,
indigenous cultures and bioregional philosophy, he
is uniquely posed to tell the story of human connection to nature through his poetry and essays. This
lecture and Garden Party are not to be missed!”
Gary Snyder is an American poet, Zen Buddhist, mountaineer, environment activist, and
founding member of the Beat Generation. He has
written 16 collections of poetry and prose, including
No Nature, Mountains and Rivers Without End,
The Practice of the Wild, Axe Handles, and Turtle
Island. Described as “the Thoreau of the Beat Gen-

Improvements anticipated for Cass Park Arena
By Will LeBlond
Will LeBlond Photo
Since 1972, Cass Park Arena has seen the public
use the facility as an open-air venue with a roof in
place on top, but the sides have been open without a
barrier to the outside.
With other rinks in the area fully enclosed to
embrace the cold winters that Ithaca can dole out,
Cass Park Arena may soon have the same structure.
Through the Friends of the Ithaca Youth Bureau (FIYB) a goal of $1 million has been created
through the Cass Park Arena Enclosure Campaign,
which is set to improve the overall guise of the venue. While the potentially new look will be a change,
the goal is still to have the same traditional feel that
local residents have enjoyed over the course of the
past four decades.
“Fully enclosing the arena includes modernization while preserving its traditional charm,” as mentioned in a press release regarding the campaign.
“The enclosure will make the rink more efficient,
extend the ice skating season, and improve conditions for spectators and all users year round.”
Cass, which is still the only open air rink remaining in upstate New York could receive other
benefits if the plan to enclose the venue moves forward. Included in the list of new elements is: dehumidified ‘conditioned’ air, ventilation, insulation
and adaptations for climate change. A vision for an
addition to the lobby area and the building’s locker
rooms is also in place. All of these new additions
have the potential to benefit both the girls and boys
Ithaca High School hockey teams, which will both
call Cass home for the upcoming season.
The IHS boys team just signed on recently to
play home games at Cass this upcoming season, and
Chairperson of the Friends of the Ithaca Youth Bureau, Jeff Love, hopes that with the new enclosure,
the venue could attract more tenants.
“I think absolutely that’s the goal and that would
be ideal to attract as many tenants as we can,” Love
said. “We hope that Cass Park can once again be the
facility of choice for local participants.”
An aspect of Cass that had previously kept prospective tenants away was the winter months and
how cold the facility can get without a full enclo-
By fully-enclosing the Cass Park Arena, it is hoped that the renovated facility will attract community groups
and events throughout the year.
sure. If the campaign moves forward and the addition is completed to Cass, Love thinks that the
arena can become a well-rounded place for all stages
of the year.
“The enclosure will keep it warmer in cold
months and cooler in warm months, with air conditioning and such,” said Love. “It will be less subjective to the elements that are uncontrollable, it will
be more under control and that in itself should help
promote usage by the community.”
Depending on community support, the goal for
the Ithaca Youth Bureau is to get construction on
the building underway as soon as 2017. Construction has already been done to the arena this year
with a roof and ceiling renovation project done during the spring and summer months that was funded
by the City of Ithaca.
Stu Dean adds third
head-coaching role at
Lansing High School
By Will LeBlond
In sports, every team needs a utility player – someone who can be put
into any situation or any position and
get the job done.
At Lansing High School, it’s not
a player that’s doing it all, but instead
it is coach Stu Dean. The longtime
Bobcat coach was recently hired as
the new head man for the school’s
football team. That makes it three
sports now that Dean holds the role
as head coach for, as he was already at
the helm of the boys basketball and
baseball programs. To go along with
that already demanding schedule, he
is a physical education teacher at LHS
and is a driver’s education instructor.
Put all of that together and Dean
does not see much in terms of vacation time, as he wrapped up his lone
week off recently before fall high
school practices begin in advance of
the new school year. With so much of
his time going towards athletics, it is
the thrill of winning and helping mature his players that keeps him going.
“I’m extremely competitive, I think
that’s the one thing that draws me
toward coaching,” said Dean. “It’s an
opportunity to see them grow as an
athlete and as a person, to me that’s
the most rewarding piece, it’s just to
see their development.”
With coaching three sports, there
are a few individuals that Dean will
see quite often in their maturation
process. Dean thought of two athletes,
Eric Eastman and Zack Walker, as
players that he expects to coach in the
fall, winter and spring with both of
them partaking in football, basketball
and baseball.
When Eastman, Walker and the
rest of the Bobcat football team hits
the gridiron for the football year, they
will not be led by someone inexperienced at coaching the sport, as Dean
did not take the role blindly, however
he already holds a long background in
the game.
Even before Dean was coaching at
the high school ranks, he was starring
on the gridiron on Ithaca’s South Hill
with the Ithaca Bombers and before
that with Ithaca High School. While
at those schools, he was lucky enough
to be coached by two men who have
their names enshrined at both schools’
stadiums.
During his football career, Dean
was coached by legendary head men
Jim Butterfield at IC and Joe Moresco at IHS. Needless to say, there was
plenty to draw from when Dean first
started coaching sports during his senior year of college.
“I’ve had some great mentors,
who’ve showed me the correct way
to do things,” said Dean. “They have
helped me develop my style and approach.”
That style and approach has developed over the decades and Dean will
not be new to coaching three sports
in the same school year, as he once
had triple duty for Lansing as the
football assistant coach in the fall, the
head girls basketball coach in the winter and the JV baseball coach in the
spring.

Tasks certainly change and more
is expected out of head coaches, but
Dean is optimistic that he can juggle
the adventure of having a trio of head
jobs that he is about to embark on.
“It remains to be seen if I can balance all of them, but I’m going to sure
try,” said Dean. “It’s going to be interesting, that’s for sure.”
With most baseball teams fielding around 15 players, and basketball
teams fielding even less traditionally,
it will be a different animal for Dean
to balance the higher numbers that
are involved with football traditionally. To make matters more challenging, he has not been involved much in
the Bobcat football program in recent
years, although he was the head coach
in 2006 and does have 25 years of assistant coaching experience with LHS.
Now with the regular season on
the horizon, Dean is aware of the
tickets by credit card by calling Becky
at the Ramada by phone at 257-3100;

Every week the football head
coaches at Ithaca High School, Ithaca
College and Cornell University will
discuss the previous week’s games, and
give a scouting report on the future
opponent. Football head coaches at
other Tompkins County high schools
will make guest appearances through-
out the fall. Various winter sport
coaches will also make guest visits.

of the fall season, after expenses, goes
to the high school football programs
in Tompkins County.
You have the option of obtaining
challenges that he will face and how
differently he needs to approach his
players this time around, now that he’s
in the main role.
“The hardest part is that there are
a lot of responsibilities. It’s time consuming,” said Dean. “When I was an
assistant coach, I had the liberty to let
my emotions come out, but as a head
coach you have to remain under control for the most part, because that’s
what I preach to our kids.”
It will not be just remaining under
control that Dean will teach to his
football players, but there is one aspect that carries over all three sports
that he holds as the one thing that will
drive his teams.
“I try to preach defense, I think
that’s the key to success,” said Dean.
“We talk a lot about defense and spend
a lot of time on defense, if I would say
there’s one aspect to it, it would be the
defensive side of the ball.”
Lansing begins its football season with a home game Friday, Sept. 2
against Elmira Notre Dame at 7 p.m.
The Lansing High School baseball program (2016 Team Shown) has enjoyed
success under the leadership of head coach Stu Dean. He’ll take on head-coaching
dutied for the Bobcats’ varsity football team this fall.

Local student led women’s health initiative
Ithaca Voice
A recently-graduated Ithaca High
School student led a charge this year
to collect thousands of feminine hygiene products for needy women in
the city.
Abby Cooper, 18, spent the last
semester of her senior year interning
at Planned Parenthood, where interns
are encouraged to lead their own community projects.
Cooper, who was one of the copresidents of the feminist group
Strong Women Impacting Society,
said she had recently heard about an
organization in California that was
collecting feminine hygiene products
for women in need. So she proposed
it at Planned Parenthood as something organizers might be interested
in starting in Ithaca where there hasn’t
been a drive solely for hygiene products in recent memory.
“I guess I wasn’t that surprised
(that there wasn’t a feminine hygiene
product collection) because it wasn’t
really something I had even thought
about until learning about it,” Cooper
said. “It kind of makes sense that it’s
overlooked a lot.”
Devon Anderson, sexuality educator and transgender patient navigator

at Planned Parenthood, said, “I think
people, by and large, all over our country that have periods are not able to
have access to very expensive products.”
She said that most facilities don’t
put out open calls for tampons or
maxi pads, and if they do, don’t collect
nearly enough products to meet the
demand for them by homeless or lowincome women. SNAP (food stamps)
also doesn’t cover the cost of feminine
hygiene products.
So women who cannot afford
products sometimes don’t go to school
or work during their monthly periods.
Planned Parenthood kick-started
Cooper’s project by purchasing several
hundred tampons and sanitary napkins which were sorted into packages
with 10-20 products in them. Then,
Cooper and members of the Strong
Women Impacting Society Club
helped organize a drive at the high
school were students were encouraged
to donate.

Tompkins DA nominating
process explained
The following letter was provided
by Stephen M. DeWitt and Elizabeth
W. Cree, Commissioners of Elections,
Tompkins County Board of Elections in order to clarify the process for
nomination of candidates for Tompkins County District Attorney.
The Tompkins County Board of
Elections has had several inquiries
regarding the sudden turn of events
regarding the position of Tompkins
County District Attorney. We are
writing this to clarify what has happened and what the procedure will be
going forward.
On July 8, Gwen Wilkinson resigned as the District Attorney for
Tompkins County. This created a vacancy in the office. On Nov. 8, 2016,
when voters in Tompkins County vote
for President of the United States and
other offices, the position of Tompkins County District Attorney will
also be on the ballot. The person that
is elected will serve a full four-year
term beginning Jan. 1, 2017.
Normally, candidates for this office
are designated by the political parties
through the petition process, which
this year concluded on July 14. Because the vacancy occurred too late in
the petition process, the political parties will not be able to designate candidates by petition. Fortunately, New
York State Election Law provides solutions any time such situations arise.
Section 6-116 of Election Law applies in this situation and says that a
party nomination of a candidate for
election to fill a vacancy in an elective office required to be filled at the
next general election shall be made,
after the day of the primary election,
by a majority vote of a quorum of the
members of a county committee or
committees last elected in the political subdivision in which such vacancy
is to be filled, or by a majority of such
other committee as the rules of the
party may provide. A certificate of
nomination shall be filed as provided
for herein.
To put the previous paragraph in
lay terms, the members of the Democratic and Republican county committees must meet after Sept. 13 and
with a quorum present, and by a majority vote of those present, select a
candidate to run on their respective
party lines. The Conservative, Green,
Working Families, Independence,
Women’s Equality and Reform Party
can select a candidate by a majority vote of such other committees as
their rules provide. All of the political parties that nominate a candidate
for District Attorney must then file
a Certificate of Nomination at the
Tompkins County Board of Elections, no later than 5 p.m. on Sept. 20.
The Tompkins County Board of Elections notified all eight parties of the
vacancy and the process for filling the
vacancy and nominating candidates in
a letter which was mailed July 8.
Any person interested in seeking
this position or seeking to have input
in a particular party’s selection process
should contact that party. Party contacts can be accessed on the Tompkins
County Board of Elections website at
www.votetompkins.com.
If you have any further questions,
please feel free to contact the Tompkins County Board of Elections by
telephone at 274-5522.

Ithaca Establishes First 2030 District in New York

as individuals.
Executive Director, Ithaca 2030 District
What are the goals of 2030?
This is the latest installment in our
Signs of Sustainability series organized by Sustainable Tompkins. Visit
them online at www.sustainabletompkins.org.
Earlier this summer 17 local building owners, community partners, and
professional stakeholders came together to launch the Ithaca 2030 District. In doing so, Ithaca joined the
ranks of 12 other forward-thinking
cities in the United States and Canada that are working toward the goal
of cleaner and greener commercial
buildings.
2030 Districts, initiated by the
non-profit research organization Architecture 2030, are unique private
and public partnerships bringing together property owners and managers
to meet the energy and resource reduction targets of the 2030 Challenge
for Planning. Through collaboration,
leveraged financing, and shared resources, they benchmark, develop and
implement creative strategies, and establish best practices and verification
methods for measuring progress towards a common goal.
Thanks to the outstanding work
of Sustainable Tompkins, EcoVillage
at Ithaca, Local First Ithaca, our local
governments, and many other organizations, Ithaca and Tompkins County
have long been leaders in sustainability
and climate action. The establishment
of the Ithaca 2030 District, building
on these efforts, places our community in the vanguard of a movement
of private sector pioneers coming together to reduce energy use, water use,
and transportation emissions. Ithaca
joins Albuquerque, Cleveland, Dallas,
Denver, Grand Rapids, Los Angeles,
Pittsburgh, San Antonio, San Francisco, Seattle, Stamford, and Toronto
as part of the 2030 Districts Network.
It is a well-known fact that the
built environment – commercial and
municipal office buildings as well as
multi-family housing – is a large consumer of natural resources and generator of emissions. Indeed, 75 percent
of all the electricity produced in the
United States is used just to operate
buildings, and the building sector is
responsible for 45 percent of the na-
The newly established Ithaca 2030
District will further strengthen our
commitment to combat the effects of
climate change and, at the same time,
spur innovation in our downtown. The
recently-implemented Energize NY
Finance program, which offers financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in commerciallyowned buildings, will help facilitate
the building upgrades necessary to
meet the goals of the 2030 District
movement. These include the following:
Property owners and managers are
voluntarily committing their properties to Ithaca 2030 District goals; they
are not required to achieve the District
The Ithaca 2030 District got its
initial impetus from a 2013 visit by
Ed Mazria, the founder and CEO of
Architecture 2030, which issued the
2030 Challenge. Mr. Mazria was the
keynote speaker at HOLT’s 50th anniversary celebration and he met with
the members of the Tompkins County
Climate Protection Initiative (TCCPI) while he was in town. TCCPI
and HOLT began soon after to explore the potential of a 2030 District
in Ithaca. With the support of its coalition members, establishing a 2030
District in Ithaca became an official
project of TCCPI in 2014.
The Park Foundation and the New
York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA),
through the Cleaner, Greener Communities program, have provided
support to plan and begin building
the Ithaca 2030 District. In addition, Cornell Cooperative ExtensionTompkins County, HOLT Architects,
and Taitem Engineering have contributed significant in-kind gifts in
the form of pro bono services.
Besides promoting crucial climate
protection measures, the Ithaca 2030
District seeks to demonstrate that
healthy and high performing buildings make good financial sense. District members will do this by bringing together diverse stakeholders,
leveraging existing and developing
new incentives and financing mechanisms, and creating and sharing joint
resources. They will develop realistic,
measurable, and innovative strategies to assist district property owners, managers, and tenants in meeting
aggressive goals that keep properties and businesses competitive while
operating buildings more efficiently,
reducing costs, and reducing the environmental impacts of facility construction, operation, and maintenance.
These collaborative efforts will establish the Ithaca 2030 District as an
example of a financially viable, sustainability focused, multi-sector driven effort that maximizes profitability
and prosperity for all involved. The
District builds on the TCCPI model

Sustainable Tompkins is accepting applications for its fall round of
Neighborhood Mini-grants. Applications are due Sept. 1.
The Sustainable Tompkins Neighborhood Mini-grant program provides support for initiatives promoting environmental sustainability and
social and economic vitality in Tompkins County.
Individuals, neighborhood groups,
and organizations are welcome to apply, as are modest-income owners of
micro-enterprises seeking to green
their operations or extend their ser-
vices to low-income clientele.
The program was recently expanded to include small local businesses,
beginning in December 2015 with
an award supporting the purchase of
an electric cargo bike by mobile food
vendor ¡BiciCocina!
Grants from the summer round included an award to the Finger Lakes
Permaculture Institute for its Third
Annual Permaculture Tour on Aug.
26-28, showcasing diverse ways to
grow crops in healthy, resilient landscapes. Another grant went to a partnership between Cornell’s Engineer-
ing Leadership Program and Ithaca
High School to overhaul the school’s
composting system. College students
will work with IHS students to build
a solar-powered compost tumbler that
can process some of the school’s food
waste onsite, and spread awareness
about composting through the school
with outreach materials and talks. A
Neighborhood Mini-grant will help
fund materials for building the tumbler and solar panels.
Grants range from $150 to $750
and have been awarded to diverse
entities for locally-based initiatives

TOMPKINS WEEKLY
August 15-21, 2016
County distributing funds from federal grant
Tompkins County has been
awarded federal funds made available through the Department of
Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency under
the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program.
Tompkins County has been chosen to receive $36,947 to supplement
emergency food and shelter programs
in the county.
The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the U.
S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management
Agency and consists of representatives
from American Red Cross; Catholic
Charities, USA; National Council of
the Churches of Christ in the USA;
The Jewish Federations of North
America, The Salvation Army; and,
United Way Worldwide. The Local
Board was charged to distribute funds
appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter
programs in high-need areas around
the country.
A Local Board made up of representatives from the county, city, Human Services Coalition, United Way,
faith community, and others will determine how the funds awarded to
Tompkins County are to be distributed among the emergency food and
shelter programs run by local service
agencies in the area. The Local Board
is responsible for recommending
agencies to receive these funds and
any additional funds made available
under this phase of the program.
Under the terms of the grant from
the National Board, local agencies
chosen to receive funds must: 1) be
private voluntary non-profits or units
of government, 2) be eligible to receive
Federal funds, 3) have an accounting
system, 4) practice nondiscrimination,
5) have demonstrated the capability to
deliver emergency food and/or shelter
programs, and 6) if they are a private
voluntary organization, have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are
urged to apply.
Tompkins County has distributed
Emergency Food and Shelter funds
previously with the Advocacy Center, Catholic Charities, Child Development Council, Loaves and Fishes, Salvation Army, and Tompkins
County Food Distribution Network
participating. These agencies were
responsible for providing meals, pantry food, and formula for Tompkins
County residents.
Public or private voluntary agencies
interested in applying for Emergency
Food and Shelter Program funds must
contact John Mazzello, Human Services Coalition, by telephone at 2738686 or via email at jmazzello@hsctc.
org for an application.
The Women Building Community (WBC) Grants 2016-17 cycle
has been announced by the board of
the City Federation of Women’s Organizations (CFWO). Completed
grant applications are due Monday,
Sept. 26. Guidelines and application
requirements are available at www.
womenbuildingcommunity.org, according to CFWO Board President
Diane Shafer.
An optional informational meeting about the fourth annual WBC
Grants program is open to the public on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 4 p.m. in
Tompkins County Public Library, 101
E. Green St., Ithaca. Questions can
also be directed to [email protected] or by phoning 272-1247.
The mission of the WBC Grants is
to support all women and girls regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity (including
expression), sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, and socioeconomic status; and to act as a catalyst for the improvement of the lives
of all women and girls in Tompkins
County, thus making a contribution
to the entire community.
The CFWO owned the Women’s
Community Building on West Seneca Street where Breckenridge Place
is now operated by Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services. The proceeds
of this sale and existing CFWO resources created an endowment fund
that makes WBC grants possible.
Applications are accepted this
September for grants up to $5,000
for programs to be completed by Dec.
31, 2017. An additional special grant,
called a WBC Legacy Grant, of up to
$10,000 will be awarded to an organization that has a project that will
have high impact on our community’s
women and/or girls. Organizations
may submit applications in both categories.
Nonprofit organizations and governmental agencies serving Tompkins County women and/or girls are
eligible to apply for one or more than
one activity that is in need of funding.
Applications from other organiza-
tions that carry out charitable projects
or activities that address issues facing women and/or girls in Tompkins
County may also be funded. Organizations and individuals without nonprofit 501 (c) (3) designation need to
be sponsored by an eligible nonprofit
organization.
In the first three annual grant cycles, approximately $50,000 has been
awarded for a total of 28 projects.
They were awarded on the merit of
the program, quality of the application, and available funds for the cycle,
explained Marge Kline, chair of the
Grants Committee. “We have budgeted $30,000 to allocate as WBC
Grants for 2016-17,” Kline said.
The following projects organized
by these organizations were WBC
Grant recipients in 2015: A Place
to Stay (Catholic Charities), GIAC
Jumpers (Greater Ithaca Activities
Center), Dryden Girls Brigade (Cornell OURS), MBCI Wise Women
(Opportunities, Alternatives and
Resources), Connie Cook Wants
You (Close to Home Productions),
Removing Roadblocks (Child Development Council), Girl Ventures
(Cornell Cooperative Extension),
Overcoming Obstacles (Tompkins
Learning Partners), NLI Grassroots
Women’s Leadership (Natural Leaders Initiative), and Work Preserve Apprentice (Historic Ithaca).
For the first time, one $10,000
grant was available in addition to
grants of $5,000 or less. It was awarded to A Place to Stay, a women’s guest
house. It was a new initiative of Catholic Charities to assist women in need
of safe and stable housing. The other
nine grants totaled $20,000.
Project areas to be considered for
funding must address needs and opportunities that improve the quality of
life for Tompkins County women and
girls. At least one of the following priorities needs to be addressed: Community Development, Education,
Health, Human Services, and Activities that address Gender Equity. More
information on the WBC Grants criteria and process is available at www.

Saga of Harold’s Square project continues
By Brian Crandall
Ithaca Voice
It’s back again. The Harold’s
Square mixed-use project for the
Ithaca Commons will be seeking the
city’s affirmation on changes to its
size, layout and appearance.
Many readers who have been following this project will note that
Harold’s Square has been in and out
of city chambers for a few years now.
The project was first approved by the
city planning board in August 2013,
followed by CIITAP tax abatement
approvals that autumn. Since planning board approval is only good for
two years, an extension on planning
board approval of the 2013 plan was
filed and granted last year.
More recently, the project submitted a pair of application proposals to
the city in an effort to obtain a Restore New York grant. In fact, in the
Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency’s analysis of grant feasibility, the Harold’s
Square project was dinged because
they weren’t confident it would move
forward.
The reason for that is financing. It’s
a large project, and difficulties in securing a tenant for the proposed office
space made it a risky prospect to lenders. So it’s taken a few years, but the
developer, David Lubin of Horseheads-based L Enterprises LLC, says
he has financial commitments in
place. But in order to get those commitments, the project was changed.
What was approved and re-approved
is no longer accurate, and as a result, it

has to head back before the Planning
Board for a third round of discussion.
The revision calls for a larger building -- from the approved 151,410
square feet (SF), to 168,750 SF, an
11% increase. The footprint is still the
same size, however, and the height is
only two feet taller. The additional size
comes from changing some of the office space over to apartments - floorto-ceiling heights for apartments tend
to be shorter than for offices (10 feet
vs. 14 feet), and they replaced three
floors of office space with four floors
of apartments. The other size changes
come from design tweaks of the building, such as a full-sized floor-plate on
the top floor.
The change is purely a practical
one. Apartments downtown are in
high demand. Office space is not, especially now that Tompkins Trust is
building its new headquarters. Similar
logic was used by Jason Fane to explain his plans to convert Bank Tower
to apartments.
Similarly, the project is turning towards the trend of the studio microunit, pioneered by the Carey Building addition and also planned for 201
College Avenue. 40 units would be
micro-units, 30 one-bedrooms, and
38 two-bedrooms. The Danter study
yet to be fully released by the county
noted occupancy rates are highest for
smaller units (2 bedrooms and less),
and from a cost analysis of dollars per
square foot, the return on investment
may be better with the micro-units, if
the developers and their lenders are
confident that there’s a market for
them.
Harold’s Square’s new design has
the same general design motif and
materials, but it’s not without changes,
which will be subject to the scrutiny
of the Planning Board before any approvals are granted. Assuming the elevation drawings are accurate, a likely
point of contention will be the section
of the north face that was previously
apartments and glass curtain wall,
now replaced with what appears to be
a blank wall. The board will be particularly sensitive to that side’s facade
since it faces the Commons.
Reopening the environmental review isn’t likely, because although the
building is being revised substantially,
it’s not fundamentally different. It’s
still L Enterprises LLC proposing a
mixed-use downtown high-rise with
a modern design. However, the board
can still make any number of critiques
or suggestions before, or as conditions
of approval.

New leadership at Ithaca Salvation Army
The Ithaca Salvation Army welcomes Major David Dunham and
Major Tina Dunham as the new commanding officers and ministers to The
Salvation Army Worship and Service Center in Ithaca. Major David
Dunham and Major Tina Dunham
succeed Envoys Jonathan and Madeline Soza who have been assigned to
Quincy, Illinois. The Majors Dunham
have been appointed Corps Officers
for Ithaca.
“Major David Dunham and Major
Tina Dunham will bring the love of
God and God’s saving grace to those
who are in need in the community,”
said Major Ronald Foreman, divisional commander for the Empire State
Division of The Salvation Army, covering all of upstate New York.
Prior to this appointment, Majors
Dunham served the community in
Akron, Ohio as Area Coordinators.
They have been with The Salvation
Army for 35 years. While much of
their time had been spent in the state
of Ohio, the Dunhams spent five years
at Empire State Divisional Headquarters in Syracuse.
When asked how the Dunham’s
feel about being in Ithaca, the response was, “We are thrilled to be in
Ithaca. The town is very interesting
and the people have been helpful and
encouraging. We are blessed and hope
to be a blessing right here where the
Lord has placed us,” said Major Dunham.
Major David Dunham graduated
from Ashland Theological Seminary
in 1992 and has a master’s degree in
New Testament. Major Tina Dunham graduate from Alliance Theological Seminary in 2006 with a master’s

hot lunches daily and offers a variety
of activities each week. Instructional
classes, computer classes, social service referrals, shopping and overnight
trips are but a few of the benefits of
membership.
Youth groups for preteens and
teenagers are offered as after school
programs. The after school program
offers critical development advancements, an opportunity to socialize,
and as an extension of their education
by offering one-on-one support for
various subjects such as reading, math,
or whatever the subject area may be.
In the summer, they offer an opportunity for local children to go to the
Army’s residential camp, Long Point
Camp on Seneca Lake.

TOMPKINS WEEKLY

carried out on many levels, like painting a canvas, Burns explained. There
are broad brush strokes, such as using
topography to determine where pastures and hedgerows should be located, and the small details, like choosing
which plants to cultivate together in
a way that might utilize every square
foot of a garden patch. Ithaca College does the later, even growing crops
vertically in a small space. Wellspring
Forest Farm, in Trumansburg, raises
both ducks and mushrooms in the
forest. The ducks aid in mushroom
production by eating slugs that would
otherwise damage the crop. Other
farms, like Cayuta Sun, in Catharine,
and Hawk Meadow Farm, in Trumansburg, have utilized the forests on
their land to raise shitake mushrooms,
which grow well in the woods. Good
Life Farm, in Interlaken, pastures
turkeys in their orchards. The birds
eat pests and fallen fruit, and provide
fertilizer. Burns points out that these
methods are not specific to permaculture. The permaculture process, however, aided these farmers in coming to
decisions on what methods work best
where they are farming.
“A key part of permaculture is to
teach design as a discipline,” OlsonRamanujan said, to see a site and a
family as a system, not as many separate things.
Many permaculturists see themselves as part of a decentralized worldwide movement. FLPI is “focused on
building a local movement of permaculture practitioners,” at all levels,
home patio, farm, systems, according
to Rebecca Cutter, a long time FLPI
board member. FLPI has offered yearly two-week intensive courses for the
past 13 years. They have also provided
10- to 12-week evening courses, and
workshops on specific topics. Howev-

is meant to build bridges and create
relationships between people who
might not have other opportunities to
connect with each other.”
When ICUCME organizers were
planning this event, they didn’t want
the title Cleaning the Hate to sound
negative, so they added Building
Unity to clarify the end goal of the
gathering, according to Glaser. “We
didn’t want to emphasize the hate aspect,” she shared with a laugh. “This
is really about building unity through
cleaning up Cass Park together. We
are symbolically moving past negativity toward the positive. I think that is
a beautiful element that Ithaca has,
that value in our community of coming together. There are elements in
the world that seek to drive wedges
between communities by making one
group the villain, and we want to move
beyond those kinds of labels and move
to a way of looking at one another as
human beings.”
Inclusion of local singing group
Vitamin L was a natural fit for this
event, Glaser said. “Vitamin L has
graciously volunteered to be part of
this event. They’ll be playing about
15 minutes of music. They’re such a
Bay Alley, followed by a performance
from Circus Culture, and music from
Astro Hawk, Travis Knapp, Remstar
Steele and Jacksonic. Local food vendors will also be there. Saturday, Aug.
27 holds the tour of up to 13 permaculture locations from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
followed by a reception at The Finger
Lakes Cider House, where folk-jazz
fusionist Jen Cork will be performing. Carpooling is encouraged for
the tour, and a link is located on the
FLPI’s website to help with organization. Aug. 28 will close the weekend
with a day of workshops and lectures
at Cornell Cooperative Extension in
Montour Falls.
Well-known names in permaculture that will be giving presentations include Steve Gabriel and Brett
Chedzoy, who are known for their
shining light in our community. They
are all about building connections and
moving beyond negativity. Their songs
are about cooperation and positive
things that we want to teach our kids.
We’re grateful to them and honored
that they are participating,” added
Glaser.
The potluck meal aspect of this
event is really important for building camaraderie, according to Glaser.
“When you are breaking bread together, you are at peace together. That’s one
of the profound symbols in history.
When people are eating together they
are clearly not at war together. So we
thought having a meal together was a
wonderful way to gather before cleaning up the park together,” Glaser said.
This event is the kickoff for a series
of monthly potluck and conversation
events that ICUCME is planning going forward. “It’s our hope to bring
people together on an ongoing basis
to give them the opportunity to talk
with one another,” Glaser said. “Ithaca
has so many people involved in different kinds of activism and ways of repairing the world, and we hope these
conversations will offer a way for different communities to talk with one
another about who they are and what
matters to them. It’s a way of building
bridges and finding ways to achieve
cooperation.”
“The world is a troubled place and
there is always more to do, but it’s
heartening to be someplace where
people care,” continued Glaser. “I feel
grateful to be in Ithaca. We have so
many blessings here, and so many initiatives that enable people to move
beyond their own concerns to touch
those of others.”
According to its Facebook page,
ICUCME is “a grass-roots anti-racist
community organization working to
preserve the plurality and diversity of
work in growing mushrooms and
woodland grazing, respectively. Other
presentations include ethical and profitable landscape management, on-site
renewable energy, designing collective
impact projects for social change, creating a more inclusive permaculture
movement, permaculture in Japan,
home composting, raising tree crops,
and melding permaculture basics with
entrepreneurial skills. A full schedule
can be found at www.fingerlakespermaculture.org. All events are free, but
donations are encouraged.
“Let’s get people together,” said
Olson-Ramanujan of her vision for
the weekend, and the networking,
learning and relationships she hopes
it fosters. “Get the energy together,
something will happen.”

er, the founders of the institute “didn’t
envision ourselves to be a catalyst of a
movement” on their own, said OlsonRamanujan. The tour and convergence
are an effort for practitioners and
newcomers to learn from each other
and build a local community around
permaculture. “Our big focus is to
support individuals, organizations,
businesses and institutes that are
practicing permaculture,” Cutter said.
“Permaculture extends beyond
farming,” added Cutter, citing examples such as alternative currencies like
the Ithaca Hour or Ithacash, babysitting cooperatives, bartering, communal meal sharing, and preserving
indigenous knowledge. Cutter views
the practice as a means of promoting
social justice and equity, though feels
that FLPI’s goals in that area are not
being met. “Right now we’re working
to build a more inclusive movement,”
she said, and is asking how permaculture concepts could be supportive
of other movements like Black Lives
Matter, or the struggles of refugees.
Participants in FLPI workshops have
primarily been white and middle class,
notes Olson-Ramanujan. Olson-Ramanujan also sees that women make
up a smaller number of those making
a living in permaculture or becoming
prominent figures in the movement
than men, despite an equal or higher
number of females seeking training in
the field.
Olson-Ramanujan has created a
series of on-line courses specifically
designed to support women in permaculture in an effort to address this disparity. “We’re doing some deep soul
searching in the movement nationally
and locally about how to make it more
accessible,” said Olson-Ramanujan.
“Plants grow, but it’s the human systems that implode if we don’t tend
them well.”
The weekend will open with a
screening of “Inhabit: A Permaculture
Perspective” at 7 p.m. Aug. 26 in Press

Group embarks on 10th year of Rotary Harvest
The Rotary Club of Ithaca is engaging in its
10th annual Rotary Harvest food collection during
three weekends this summer. On Saturdays, Aug.
20, Aug. 27, and Sept. 3, volunteers from the Ithaca
Rotary Club will gather at the Ithaca Farmers’ Market to gather donated produce and other fresh foods
to supplement selected families’ meals.
Ithaca Rotarian Heidi Goldstein conceived the
idea in 2007 when she had a booth at the Farmers’
Market. “Children are my passion and I wanted to
do something that would directly affect their lives,”
Goldstein said. “This is very personal for me. This
food distribution has a direct impact on our local
children.”
Now in its 10th year, Rotary Harvest has served
51 families, including 168 children. The collaborative effort between the Ithaca Rotary Club, the
Ithaca Farmers’ Market, and the Ithaca City School
District provides fresh fruits and vegetables and
other staples to families who participate in the pre-
12
TOMPKINS WEEKLY
K meal program. For three weeks in late summer
every year, the school meal program is unavailable,
so Rotary Harvest helps bridge that gap.
This year, 10 families with 37 children will receive fresh food through Rotary Harvest. Five or
six Rotarians will meet at the Farmer’s Market each
Saturday morning, fill a wagon with fresh produce
donated by vendors, and then shop at a local grocery store for meat, cereal, peanut butter, and other
necessities. The volunteers then deliver the goods to
the recipients’ homes.
Email questions about Rotary Harvest to Heidi
Goldstein at [email protected].
The Rotary Club of Ithaca has more than 175
members. Rotary’s motto is “Service Above Self.”
Membership is open to all community members
who share in this belief; new members are accepted
year-round. Additional information about the Rotary Club of Ithaca may be found online at www.
