Lifelong Out of Old College Admin Says Library Rebuild Plan No to Full-timer Union

T

he Travis Hyde project planned for the Old Library site, which has been dubbed The Dewitt House, will no longer also serve as the headquarters for Lifelong, as initially planned.

“Lifelong wasn’t the sole driver of this project and they don’t want to be,” said developer Frost Travis. “Their financial circumstances have changed dramatically for the good since last year.

Their membership has increased, and they’ve balanced their budget.”

Instead of selling their properties at 119 and 121 W. Court St. to Travis Hyde, the organization for seniors will be only putting the latter building on the market and keeping the center at 119. Lifelong will still have the use of the 2,000 square foot community room in the DeWitt House, but will no longer need to rent out the 50,000 square feet of space initially planned for their programming. One benefit of this, Travis said, is Lifelong now can keep its programming continuous.

“Where Lifelong was going to be we now have dedicated to covered parking,” Travis said. There are 25 spots in the plan, all covered; the original drawings called for demolishing the 119 building and using that space for parking.

The footprint of The DeWitt House has not changed significantly; plans were always to keep the building within the Old Library property because of an old right-of-way. Instead of the initially proposed 39 one-bedroom units and 22 two-bedrooms, there are now plans for 22 one-bedrooms, 25 two-bedrooms, and 10 three-bedroom apartments.

The project team, which includes Graham Gillespie of HOLT Architects and Kimberly Michaels of Trowbridge Wolf Michaels, has already had several meetings with the city planning and development board and Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission, in joint session. Those meetings have resulted in some façade changes to the original plan, to break up the “massing” and step back the higher levels, common requests of new projects from planning board members. The building is laid out with a sheltered southern courtyard next to the DeWitt Inn. – Josh Brokaw reporter@ithacatimes.com

Cole said that she was granted contingent full-time status this academic year, after being rehired on a part-time basis the last two years.

“One of the problems of being contingent is we don’t know in a timely manner if we will be rehired,” Cole said. “It makes it very difficult to really live your life.

While we’re teaching, we have mentoring relationships with students, and they expect if they can’t take a class this year, they can take it next year and it will be the same.”

“My understanding is people often get their contracts in May for the following year,” Cole said, “and part-time typically get

epresentatives of full-time contingent faculty at Ithaca College met with the school’s administration on April 7 to discuss joining Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 200.

Part-time faculty voted in May 2015 to join the SEIU local, with 172 of 225 parttime faculty voting in favor of unionization.

There are about 60 contingent full-time faculty at Ithaca College, according to Shoshe Cole, assistant professor in the physics and astronomy department. Cole was one of five faculty members to meet with Ben Rifkin, vice president for educational affairs and Nancy Pringle, the college’s general counsel.

measures for groundwater and soil contamination.

In 2004 complaints from residents at the bottom of South Hill led Hang to look at the data for groundwater, where he found, he said, the “record of decision had never been fully implemented.”

State action at that time led to subslab ventilation systems installed in homes around the Chain Works, and in February 2005 the DEC changed the property to a class 2 site, meaning “action required.”

“The state has been unwilling to say, ‘You’ve got X number of days and, if you don’t do it our way by then, forget it, we’re going to do it or get the EPA,’” Hang told a 2005 hearing, held in Ithaca, of the state Assembly’s environmental conservation

s the sports broadcasters say, the Emerson Chain Works redevelopment is “currently under review.”

At a professional sporting event one person in a striped shirt might make the final call, when it comes to large development projects anyone with something to say about plans for the “live, work, play” community on South Hill has their chance to speak up regarding environmental issues until May 10. The project, which was made public in summer 2014, is taking questions and comments as part of its “generic environmental impact statement” phase; all “substantive” questions will receive an answer in the final GEIS, as this particular document is known.

On March 29, a public hearing was held at Cinemapolis to gather feedback. An open comment Deserted Emerson Power Transmission.

This “There’s been 12 years of zero reporter had to be elsewhere, but saw later progress,” Hang said this week. “I don’t that Walter Hang had garnered headlines have anything against development. I’m in another outlet by saying there was for cleanup … I think this is really the “mindboggling contamination” at the old beginning of the discussion.”

Properties.

“We’re going to make sure this thing is documented to the nth degree, because once the property changes hands, [cleanup] is on Unchained Properties,” Gensel said.

“The dots on the map of all the testing looks like Swiss cheese. This site has been poked and prodded quite a bit.”

That prodding included a two-phase study by LaBella Associates commissioned

by Unchained Properties in 2013 and 2014, available at the Tompkins County Public Library—along with most of the other reports on the Chain Works site.

Right now, mitigation is happening to the industrial standard, Gensel said. The residential standard is more stringent, and whatever DEC says needs to happen for people to live on the site would take place after Unchained Properties takes possession of the property, which is still owned by Emerson.

“Emerson isn’t going to go to a residential standard if they’re not going to sell the property,” Gensel said. He’s hoping that Emerson’s engineers make all of their submissions to the DEC by the end of this year.

Vicki Taylor Brous, who’s working on outreach for the Chain Works project, said that comments made about the impossibility of getting through the impact statement in the time granted were misleading. The city’s planning and development board and town board have had access to the document since January, Brous said, and the statement itself is about 350 pages, not the 80,000 pages that was claimed. Many of those materials have been “available for years.”

Unchained Properties has “spent in excess of $2 million on this project to date,” Brous said. “The idea that nothing has been done to clean it up or to investigate it is difficult to hear.”

“We’ve been investing in the latest ideas about how to build a community and fill a hole in Ithaca,” said David Lubin, the project developer. “Usually these things cause quite a bit of controversy in Ithaca, and I’m pleased to say ours really hasn’t, from Ithaca as a whole. Only a couple individuals who always seem to be there.”• Josh Brokaw reporter@ithacatimes.com

According to SEIU Local 200, their Faculty Forward initiative represents over 1,200 contingent faculty in upstate New York and Vermont. This past January, Wells College instructors of both part-time and full-time contingent statuses voted in favor of joining the union by a 21 to 6 vote.

The IC part-timers are still in negotiations for their first contract, which “typically take a while to settle,” according to Perkins.

Tompkins County

Not All Legislators Get Rural Needs

▶ Pigs in Forbes, Forbes.com got excited about The Piggery and interviewed owner Heather Sandford about their new way of selling their products. Writer Riva Richmond documents The Piggery’s growth “leg by leg”. They started in with retail in a farmers market stall and then a storefront. They added wholesale in 2014. Now they are selling online. “Three months in, the online store is showing good progress, she says, but she still has much more work to do to develop a customer base and marketing strategy.”

A

t the April 5 meeting of the board, the Tompkins County Legislature approved a $1.56 million bond for the restoration of two Dryden bridges.

The bond money will allow the county to repair the West Malloryville Road Bridge and replace the Red Mill Road Bridge, which has been closed to traffic since December 2005. Though the resolution to authorize the bond passed, two legislators voted against the measure; they said it was unnecessary for the county to fix two rural bridges located close together when residents of the community have made do with just one for over a decade.

“The problem is that we’re doing both rather than picking one,” said Legislator Carol Chock (D-Ithaca), when the legislature discussed the bond at length at a previous meeting March 15, where Chock and Legislator Dooley Keifer (D-Lansing) were the only legislators to vote against issuing a negative declaration of environmental significance for the project.

Keifer took issue with the environmental impact report because, she said, it lacked sufficient information regarding wetlands. She also raised questions about the safety of the Red Mill Road Bridge design plans; she said they call for a 40 mile-per-hour speed limit even though motorists on Red Mill Road tend to travel at speeds that are significantly faster.

Despite Kiefer’s reservations, the other 12 legislators voted in favor of the project on March 15 and again at the bond vote a month later. “If we don’t trust our staff to bring us the proper projects in the proper order, then heaven help us, because we don’t know,” said Legislator Martha Robertson (D-Dryden), “None of us in an expert in highway management.”

Chock maintained her position after the April meeting. “Those particular two bridges, neither of them are very high traffic, and they’re less than a mile away from each other,” she said.

The county has committed to investing $150,000 to $200,000 in the upkeep of the West Malloryville Bridge, according to Jeffrey Smith, highway director for Tompkins County. The rest of the funds will go toward replacing the Red Mill structure.

“I don’t think it makes sense to spend scarce taxpayers dollars on them,” Chock said. “We should have made a decision as to which one.”

Smith disagrees. He said when a decision is made to allow a bridge to fall into disrepair that it’s a decision that affects the area for years down the line. “I can’t see that far ahead, but I can see both

sides of this bridge are very developed, there are improved roads, there’s viable land,” he said of the Red Mill Road Bridge. “I think that was somewhat of a failure on the part of our department for not recognizing the need to keep the bridge up to standards.”

Though the bridges are located on town roads, state and county laws dictate that the county is responsible for them because they span more than 25 feet.

The Town of Dryden has committed to contributing 20 percent of the total cost of the project, according to legislature chair Michael Lane.

The new Red Mill Road bridge will sit in the same footprint as the existing bridge, while replacing the West Malloryville Road structure to make it the main bridge in the area would mean having to widen it to meet current standards. Smith said that would likely mean encroaching on the property of residences that sit very close to the bridge.

At the March 15 legislature meeting, Kiefer said a particular local business is one of the main beneficiaries of the new construction. “This serves a farmer,” she said, “and the farmer has continued to make money and thrive, even when the bridge was closed.” Russ Beck, 53, of Beck Farms in Dryden, told the Ithaca Times April 11 that it has hurt business.

The bridge, built in 1887, predates his family’s dairy farm by 34 years. Since it closed, Beck said the repercussions have cut into his profits by about $18,000 per year, though he was still able to increase the number of dairy cows at his farm’s Dryden location from 700 to 1,200 over the last decade.

The detour that his drivers are forced to take while hauling corn and hay has meant that the farm needs roughly 50 percent more vehicles on the road.

the heavy machinery moving,” Beck explained. “If a truck isn’t back yet then you’re sitting still, waiting for truck to show up.”

He said if he wants to stay productive and get his crops harvested on time then he needs more trucks on the road because it takes about twice as long for them to make the round trip as it would if the bridge were passable. “That’s a huge impact for our business,” he said.

Emergency services have also been affected, according to Nick Totman, first assistant chief at the fire district station in McLean, a hamlet in the southeast part of neighboring Groton.

“Red Mill is huge for us for helping Freeville in a fire or getting access to the back farm area,” Totman said. “It’s not a huge time difference,” he said of the detours around the bridges, “but it’s more the hills and turns that we have to make that are a problem for us.”

McLean is almost always going to call for outside help in the event of a fire because it’s such a small department, he added. Any outside departments coming from the Freeville direction would shorten the trip by about a mile and a half using the Red Mill Road bridge, he said.

A vocal group of people who live in the area see the value in repairing the bridges as well. At a meeting in September of last year, about 60 residents came to a public meeting to voice their support for the bridge projects, said Smith.

Replacement of the Red Mill Road bridge will begin this summer. Once it’s finished, work will begin on the West Malloryville Road bridge, and the project is expected to reach completion by the end of summer 2017. •

he Commons Debate simply will not die. Even after an expensive and seemingly endless facelift, Commons Naysayers and Commons Boosters seem farther apart than ever. Then, there’s the segment of the local population that can’t decide. So, we engaged an online survey generator to come up with the following simple multiple-choice quiz to help those poor folks out. See the instructions at the end to figure out in which camp you belong.

Chemung Canal Trust is leaving the Commons next month. Disaster or meh?

1) Bulldoze the trees, the garden boxes, the tables, and pavilions. Get all that crap out of there and reintroduce vehicular traffic.

If ever there was a time to smack the panic button, this would be it.

2) Stay the course. The whole thing was a good idea in 1974, and it’s a good idea now. What about the festivals? The ice sculptures? I don’t want to hear any more whining about how great State Street was in 1963, or free parking at the mall. Blah, blah, blah. This will blow over. It always does.

3) Bank, schmank. You know what this city needs? A drive-thru Krispy Kreme place.

4) We should close traffic on all the other downtown streets, too, and let dogs run free, as they were meant to do.

Have times and economic conditions changed to the point where pedestrian malls don’t make sense any more?

1) Duh. It’s fine here in the summer, and I guess around Christmas, but try keeping a retail business going yearround. It’s murder. This scheme was hatched when malls and chain stores were new.

2) Are you nuts? Where do people want to

go when they come to Ithaca? Where do college students bring their parents?

The mall? This is part of what makes us a tourist destination, and besides, it’s the heart of downtown.

3) Seriously, how hard would it be to land a Krispy Kreme franchise with a drive-thru window?

4) I think if we all concentrate hard enough, Ithaca could host Burning Man. That would be awesome.

What’s going to make shoppers come downtown to a pedestrian mall when they have to hassle with parking?

1) My point exactly. Ever try to navigate the system in one of those parking garages?

It’s a diabolical system. Diabolical.

2) So you’d make State and Tioga streets actual streets again? Let’s just cave into car culture right now and make Ithaca another tourist mecca, like Elmira. Or Geneva.

3) Maybe if I got a whole lot of people to write letters to the Krispy Kreme Corporation …

4) Let’s re-name the Commons “Grateful Dead Way” and bring in jam bands to noodle aimlessly all day. It’s drier than the fields of Trumansburg.

What about those loiterers? Not exactly a draw for shoppers and tourists.

1) You think? Studies show that hordes of foul-mouthed, under-employed, cigarette-flicking skeeves don’t make for a pleasant shopping or dining experience.

2) I have an idea. Let’s purge our society of anybody who isn’t a suburb-living, continued on page 7

The New York Democratic Primary Is April 19

It seems so easy for many this year to fall for the extreme positions on either end of our political spectrum. Things are either all good or all bad. There is no medium.

Trade is all bad and trade deals are all bad.

Wall Street and banks are all bad and we should have let them fail. Well, the truth is somewhere in between. Let’s talk trade first. We live in a global economy. Many manufacturing jobs started moving overseas well before NAFTA. Jobs were lost to NAFTA and jobs were gained by NAFTA. It is hard to know how many jobs we would have lost with no trade agreement. America cannot totally isolate itself. We need trade.

We need to try to level the playing field.

To ensure that our government gives our businesses the advantages that overseas businesses have and that they are playing by the same rules as us. Hillary Clinton 6

understands these nuances. She understands the importance of the export/import bank.

On to the terrible villain—Wall Street and banks. Those of us living in New York State benefit greatly from the tax dollars contributed by Wall Street. When Wall Street stumbled after 9/11, New York State had serious trouble balancing its budget.

What actually happens if Wall Street fails?

It would not be the super rich that suffer.

Many middle class people would lose their retirement accounts and savings. We would all have to pay far higher taxes to take up the slack and New York’s economy would take a nosedive (Wall Street income drives many other businesses in New York State).

Dev’t and Its Discontents I

f you’ve searched for housing in the city of Ithaca, you’re probably aware that we have a housing shortage. Ithaca is not one big housing market, so much as a network of submarkets: students, workers, seniors, families, etc. Each of these groups is searching for housing that suits their particular needs. In a perfect world, Ithaca would have enough housing to satisfy everyone, but instead there is very limited supply and very strong demand, and as a result the different groups are pitted against one another.

Families who can’t find homes to purchase are either forced to move out of the city or must Seph Murtagh compete with students and young professionals in the rental market. Seniors who want to downsize, but can’t find condos or apartments, hang on to their single-family homes longer than they want to—driving down the supply of homes for younger families. Students who can’t find purposebuilt student housing move into older dwellings that otherwise could house young professionals or families. Lowerincome workers who have to compete with the wealthy for housing are forced to move to outlying rural areas, far from jobs and public transportation.

Making matters worse is what you might call Ithaca’s popularity problem. We all know that Ithaca is a desirable place to live. People want to move here, and when the people who want to move here are the kinds of people who can afford to purchase a $300,000 home with cash, it squeezes out the rest of us.

There is a solution to this problem: we need to build more housing. We can’t stop people from moving to Ithaca to attend school, start a new job, or retire, so we need to grow our housing supply.

And not just housing of one particular type, but a diverse supply of housing that addresses the needs of Ithaca’s various constituencies.

Of course, this is easier said than done. For starters, Ithaca’s got a space problem. There’s not much room to build.

In the city of Ithaca, we don’t have the luxury of a wide buffer zone between residential and commercial areas; in fact, there are many residential neighborhoods around the city where you can literally throw a stone and hit a commercial building. New developments that are proposed for these areas tend to run into neighborhood pushback, as residents come out to public meetings to voice concerns over parking, noise, and other issues.

My predecessor on Common Council, Eric Rosario, had a name for this

conflict: with a nod to Freud, he called it “density and its discontents.” Yes, we need to expand the housing supply and grow our tax base. But growth can bring a lot of strain and anxiety. Of course, no one wants to live in a city that’s filled with traffic, noise, and ugly buildings.

But at the same time controversy over new development can foster a regulatory environment in which it’s tough to build any new housing at all: restrictive zoning laws, lengthy public meetings that are very costly to developers, a process that is unpredictable and fraught with political turmoil.

The trick is to establish ground rules for development that the community can agree on, and the City of Ithaca has taken some recent positive steps in this direction. For one thing, we recently adopted a new comprehensive plan, which hadn’t been updated since the early 1970s.

The comprehensive plan provides an overall framework for future development, and in theory at least, should cut down on controversy. The city also approved new zoning changes for Collegetown and Downtown that will produce more density in our urban areas while relieving development pressure on residential neighborhoods, and we’re currently working on design standards that should help create a more predictable site plan review process.

As a result of these efforts and an improving economy, we are starting to see more housing being built in the city, with projects that run the gamut from affordable housing to market-rate housing for seniors. But we need to do more, particularly for people on the middle to lower end of the economic spectrum.

One idea that the city is currently exploring is a new tool that we are calling “incentive zoning.” Under this proposal, developers who are building new housing in the city could take advantage of certain incentives—such as an additional floor, elimination of minimum parking requirements, or an expedited site plan review process—in exchange for including a certain percentage of affordable housing units in their project or making a contribution to a fund that could support affordable housing projects throughout the city.

We also need to do more to grow our stock of owner-occupied housing. There is very little construction of for-sale homes currently happening in the city, so we should be exploring incentives to convert current rentals into condominiums or single-family homes.

Finally, to keep housing affordable,

we need to do something about property taxes. Like a lot of communities throughout upstate New York, Ithaca has a very high property-tax rate, thanks to a large proportion of tax-exempt property and unfunded state mandates. The average price of a home in Ithaca is not too far off from the national mark, but when you factor in property taxes the cost of housing nearly doubles. This applies to tenants as well, who pay property taxes through their rents. Local governments have little control over this problem, beyond doing their best to keep taxes low and provide efficient services, so we need to keep pressure on the state government to provide meaningful property tax relief through mandate reform and aid to municipalities.

Our housing problems are daunting, but they must be solved. Otherwise we will face the plight of cities like San Francisco, which saw booming job growth but failed to add new housing. Today in San Francisco the average price of a onebedroom apartment is nearly $4,000 and tent cities line the streets. With careful planning, we can avoid this fate and make Ithaca the model city we know it can be. •

arrived. On April 19, I can finally do my bit to make Bernie Sanders the Democratic nominee for president. But, funny thing—I’m not sure that I’ll vote for him.

Sanders vs. Clinton is a choice between one candidate who promises transformational change, and another highly qualified candidate who promises skilled delivery of incremental change.

I’m grateful that both Democrats promise to push in the general direction I’d like to see, and I’m awestruck by what Bernie has accomplished. I hope the movement he’s leading brings us a fair tax system, universal health care, free access to college, and all the other things we need, and that these things happen soon. But I have to vote for the person I think has the best chance of winning in November.

At 57, I see political campaigns as individual steps on an endless road. I know that change happens slowly, that progress is not guaranteed, that the struggle for justice won’t ever end, and that the most important thing is to keep trying.

It doesn’t matter how hard it is, how long it takes, or how many times you have to eat pizza for dinner while driving home. Just be like Bernie and don’t give up. •

Bernie told me that he would nationalize the oil companies. “But to me, there is no solution to the oil industry without a solution that goes to the root of our government and our culture,” he added. “What you have to talk about is a change in consciousness in the American people which will cause our resources to be managed for everyone’s benefit, instead of the benefit of Clifford Garvin and his friends.”

Ithaca Presidency and the We were once a swing town in a swing state

by Charley Githler

I

t is a presidential election year, but do not expect that candidates will come a-wooing to Ithaca this fall. For decades, ours has been a reliably Democratic city in a reliably Democratic state. What that has meant is that candidate visits to our city in a general election have been scarcer than Trump supporters in a GreenStar checkout line. The joke has always been that Ithaca is “centrally isolated.” We are not really on the way to anywhere else, and candidates in the heat of battle put their time and money into swing communities in swing counties in swing states. It was not always so, though, and Ithaca has seen its share of supplicants over the years.

Presidential election campaigning—as we have known it since the beginning of the 20th century—was not the norm for much of American history. For one thing, it was not until the late 1800s that there was a railroad infrastructure that would have made personal candidate appearances practical. More important than that though, were the social conventions of the times. A candidate appearing on his own behalf would have been considered unseemly before the turn of the 20th century. Tradition held that a candidate should be above the fray, ideally letting others do the dirty work of gladhanding and dealmaking.

This began to change with William Jennings Bryan’s 18,000-mile, 52-day stumping tour in 1896, during his first bid 8

In what came to be popularized as the first big whistle-stop tour, Bryan was able to reach thousands of people by train, sometimes stopping to give speeches in as many as twenty towns in a day. Though he didn’t win, the fact that personal appearances could resonate with voters was a lesson not lost on either party.

It was a turning point in presidential politics, and ever after candidates have waded into the fray without reservation.

The change was apparent in the very next presidential election year, 1900, when, in the weeks before the election, both Republican vice presidential candidate Teddy Roosevelt and Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan visited Ithaca.

1900 Campaign

This having been a Republican city in those days, the more enthusiastic welcome was reserved for Roosevelt’s visit on Oct. 29, just eight days before the election. He arrived at the East Ithaca Station (near where the Coal Yard Café is on Maple Avenue) to a boisterous welcome. Carriages from all over the county began arriving to await his train as early as 7 a.m. that day. He arrived at 1 p.m. Roosevelt and his entourage traveled by streetcar from the station down the p r i l

hill on Oak Street through Collegetown, past Cascadilla Hall, over Eddy Street, down State Street, to the Ithaca Hotel at the corner of State and Aurora. Progress slowed to a crawl, as a crowd of at least 10,000 packed the road from Spring Street (now Schuyler Place) all the way down to

schools were closed.

The pro-G.O.P. Ithaca Daily Journal gushed for two days with coverage of the visit. By contrast, William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic presidential candidate again that year, who had come to Ithaca just 10 days earlier, had barely garnered a mention in the same paper. Bryan’s visit, the only one by a major party presidential candidate late in an election campaign in Ithaca’s history, was also brief. He attracted a respectable crowd of “5,000 to 8,000” to welcome him at the Lehigh Valley Station. A parade took him to the Clinton House, where he changed his clothes, after which he addressed the crowd in Dewitt Park from a specially-erected stand in front of the high school (now Dewitt Mall) on the corner of Cayuga and Buffalo.

And, in the biggest event of the year. There was an incident that made national news, a a parade through downtown, a speech, hundred or so young women who were dignitaries to meet, and a return trip back stationed in the upstairs windows of the up the hill to the station. Business in the high school behind Bryan’s platform city came to a complete standstill. The city unfurled posters of his opponent William

McKinley as he started to address the crowd. By all accounts, he handled the disruptions with aplomb and was able to conclude his speech without further incident. The modern age of political campaigning had come to Ithaca.

The national population shifts to the South and West lay in the future. As the nation’s most populous state at the time (and until the 1970 census), New York was certainly important. Though nobody knew the term at the time, it was a perennial swing state in those days, which meant upstate was also important. Still, visits to Ithaca itself during presidential campaign seasons after 1900 were rare indeed, until the 1950s.

1952 Campaign

In October 1952, it suddenly seemed like our city mattered again. Both major party running mates came to Ithaca in the weeks before Election Day. Democrats had controlled the White House since 1932, but with President Truman stepping down, the contest seemed wide open that year.

The issues then had to do with the Cold War: McCarthyism was in the air, and the nation was polarized over the stalemated Korean War. First to come was Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson’s running mate and U.S. senator from Alabama John Sparkman. Arriving by train the afternoon of Sept. 29, he, his wife, and their daughter made their way without undue fanfare to the Ithaca Hotel. That evening, he spoke at a $10-a-plate Democratic fundraising dinner at the hotel before giving a radio interview on WHCU. He spent the night in Ithaca, gave an address in the morning from the steps of Willard Straight Hall on the Cornell campus, and left immediately thereafter.

Three weeks later (Oct. 18), in true whistle-stop fashion, 39-year-old Republican vice presidential candidate Richard Nixon stopped for a little over an hour at the Lehigh Valley station on a 14car campaign special train. Accompanied by wife Pat, he addressed a crowd of 3,500 on the Ithaca Youth Bureau’s ‘Red Wagon’ platform on the flats west of the station (where Island Fitness is now).

Speaking extemporaneously, he invoked the golden years of Cornell football under Gil Dobie and Carl Snavely, before blasting the foreign policy of Harry Truman.

Somehow, he was able to calculate that Truman had “dissipated 9 to 1 odds against communism to a point where the odds against the U.S. today are 5 to 3.”

“He seemed very relaxed and easygoing,” recalled then-Cornell-student Ed Hanley. “Not like the Nixon of later years.”

Nixon in 1956

Probably the highest-profile general campaign visit to Ithaca, though, was Richard Nixon’s visit on Oct. 17, 1956.

This time, he and wife Pat arrived by airplane. 2,500 people greeted them at the Mohawk Airlines gate at 2:30 p.m. at the

new Tompkins County Airport on East Hill. They were taken to the Statler Hotel on the Cornell campus, where he spent the afternoon preparing for the main event of his visit: an appearance, in the format of a ‘press conference,’ at Bailey Hall that evening, that was televised nationally on CBS Television.

While waiting to appear on TV, Nixon made a surprise visit to the Tompkins County Republican Dinner, which was being held that evening in his honor at the Statler. 2,200 Cornell students were allowed to attend the Bailey Hall event (proof of registration had to be presented at the door), along with 42 college newspaper editors, G ov.

The topics? The nuclear arms race, the communist menace, and the mounting Suez Crisis.

Following the telecast, Nixon took a few minutes to talk to students on the steps of Bailey Hall.

When asked about Senator Estes Kefauver’s claim that hydrogen bombs were going to affect global weather patterns, he replied, “That’s news to me.” After having spent 8 hours in Ithaca, the Nixons took off by plane at 11 p.m. for New England.

The televised press conference was not without controversy. New York Gov. Averell Harriman (a Democrat) wrote a letter to Cornell President Deane W. Malott complaining of the partisan nature of the campus appearance.

landslide.

In July 2004, Green Party candidate David Cobb made Ithaca a stop on his campaign trail, stating that he was actively campaigning only in “safe” states—places where George W. Bush or John Kerry were sure to win the electoral votes—so that he wouldn’t siphon any votes away from the Democrats.

In recent general elections, however, the major party presidential candidates have mostly skipped campaigning in New York State, with Republicans effectively ceding New York to the Democrats and deciding to concentrate on important

swing states. The last Republican candidate to make a serious effort in New York State during the general election was George H.W. Bush in 1988.

Our state has had its share of contenders—both Roosevelts, Al Smith, Thomas E. Dewey, Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton, Nelson Rockefeller, Bobby Kennedy—all of whom had New York connections and all of whom passed through Ithaca numerous times, though not while actively campaigning for president. Already enjoying name recognition and a history of personal appearances, many of them have chosen to focus their campaign energies in less familiar precincts in election years. This year, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and

Bernie Sanders all have New York ties.

So, while appearances by candidates during a general election in upstate New York have been increasingly rare, visits to Western New York in the primaries still happen every four years and have become our best shot at seeing a candidate up close in an election year.

primary, the national Democratic Party sought to reform its nomination process.

It began to develop an increasingly standardized set of rules that each state party had to obey. Thus the first campaign of the “modern” era of presidential politics was born, as it was the first to feature many of these rules.

It was supposed to be the end of the era of the smoke-filled room, in which candidates were selected by the party elders. It had the effect of extending the campaign season and making almost all the states battleground states for party nominations.

In fact, upstate New York has seen its share of primary candidates in the past 40 years, and this year is is no exception.

Hillary Clinton was in Syracuse earlier this month; Bernie Sanders was in Binghamton on Monday, April 11; and Donald Trump will be in Syracuse this Saturday, April 16.

Visits to Western New York usually mean the Albany-Utica-Syracuse-RochesterBuffalo corridor, where the votes and the cameras are. Primary campaign sweeps are typically whirlwind affairs, and time is a precious commodity to a candidate.

The road to victory does not often include a side trip to a small, out-of-the-way city like Ithaca. Even gubernatorial candidates have been known to ignore the smaller cities in the state.

The primary calendar matters, too.

Being the first state in the primary season, Iowa gets a lot more primary love than New York. According to the 2010 census, Manchester, Iowa and Newfield, New York both have the exact same population— 5,179. Yet, between January 25 and February 1 of this year, Manchester was visited by three Republican presidential candidates and one Democratic candidate.

On January 30, both Carly Fiorina and Bernie Sanders were in town. The next day, Ben Carson showed up. Five days earlier, Ted Cruz had been there. In primary politics, as in real estate, location is everything.

That is not to say visits to Ithaca never happen. In late March 1984, a week before the New York primary, Jesse Jackson appeared in a packed State Theater to promote his candidacy. “I remember that the energy was intense,” said former Ithaca resident Dave Rapp.

“He talked about cutting down our nuclear arsenal and putting the money into social programs.” Republican hopeful Ron Paul filled Cornell’s Lynah Rink with 4,400 supporters five days before the 2012 New York primary.

These days, in general, we are ignored.

In a tight primary, upstate cities might get a visit, but it has been a long time since the City of Ithaca had a heavy hitter late in a general election campaign. Conventional Wisdom would suggest that we would not get a visit this year, either. Of course, one never knows. Conventional Wisdom has not exactly had a good track record so far in the election of 2016 •

That is why I support Hillary Clinton for President. She does not just see just the superficial extremes. She sees the in-betweens. We need a steady hand on the tiller. Someone who can make our government function again, not increase gridlock. We need Hillary Clinton!

– Lori C. Gardner, Groton

Lane For Hillary

It is all too easy to become cynical about primary elections. Too many voters choose not to vote. When that happens it leaves candidate selection to only the most active voters, those from the far left of the Democratic Party and the far right of the Republican Party. Moderate and pragmatic voters are very often disappointed by the results.

This year it can be different. I urge Democratic voters to support our former United States Senator, Hillary Clinton.

Before she ran for Senate, Hillary took the time to tour, listen to, and learn about us in upstate New York. Once elected, she fought hard for us and was no stranger to our community. More recently, as Secretary of State, she worked tirelessly, taking America’s serious message of cooperation to over 100 different countries.

No candidate is better prepared or better qualified to serve as our President.

Hard work and serious preparation counts. While it is easy to respond to other candidates who promise everything for free, it is more important to have a President who knows how to negotiate and effect compromise in this era of political gridlock.

Your vote matters. Please join me in voting for Hillary Clinton.

– Michael Lane, Dryden, Tompkins County Legislature (chair)

Pragmatist for Bernie

The Democratic primary has been framed as a debate between Hillary Clinton’s pragmatism vs. Bernie Sander’s idealism. Ironically, the pragmatic approach is to support Bernie. Democrats seek to keep the White House, overturn the Senate and gain seats in the House of Representatives this November.

Nominating Hillary Clinton will jeopardize all three of these goals.

While the Democratic leadership is preparing for a contest between Clinton and Trump, Ted Cruz’s victory in Wisconsin makes it very unlikely that Trump will gain enough delegates to secure the nomination prior to the Republican convention. A contested convention will most likely lead to Cruz, or anyone not named Trump, to become the Republican nominee.

This is bad news for Clinton fans, because Trump is the easier candidate for Hillary to beat. Cruz actually has a higher favorability rating than Clinton. Although earlier polls show Clinton beating Cruz, his polling improves as he becomes the likely nominee, while Clinton’s continues to decline. Polls consistently show Hillary as the least trustworthy candidate. The FBI investigation threatens her campaign as well. She could very well be indicted for a felony during the campaign.

Bernie Sanders has drawn more positive views. He has the highest rating of trustworthiness among candidates.

He outpolls all Republican candidates and draws more independent and young voters. These voters will help secure Democratic House and Senate seats as well the White House.

The Republican Party has been weakened by a contentious nominating process. The one thing that will unite the Republicans and drive many undecided independents to them is the thought of having Hillary Clinton as president. For nearly half the population, Cruz or even

a plan like that outlined on the Sanders website (berniesanders.com), I would be very surprised to see a single-payer health care system come to a vote in Congress, unless Democrats take back the House (not very likely in 2016). But by speaking out for the needs and rights of all Americans, a Sanders presidency will contribute to a tone of looking out for all Americans.

The corporate media will probably continue to attack Sanders. And, certainly, so will many Congressional Republicans.

Bernie will take this in stride, and continue to build coalitions to work toward what appears achievable.

What we will see under President Bernie Sanders is progress toward a more compassionate and liveable society.

I feel honored to have the opportunity to support Sen. Bernie Sanders with my vote in the Democratic primary on April 19.

– Will Fudeman, Ithaca

Trump will be considered the lesser of two evils over Clinton.

Hillary Clinton has been in the political spotlight too long. Fair or not, her image has been tainted. As a Democrat, the most pragmatic thing to do, even if you believe in Hillary ideals and commitment is to vote Sanders.

– Chaw Chang, Ithaca

President Bernie Sanders

The political “revolution” will not be accomplished overnight, or even during the four years of President Bernie Sanders’ first term.

Assuming that Democrats take back the Senate (with progressives like Donna Edwards (Maryland) and Alan Grayson (Florida) joining the new majority as a result of the large turnout for Bernie on Election Day, we can expect reasonable confirmation of judges (including for the U.S. Supreme Court). We can expect diverse appointments to the Cabinet and other government positions that are dedicated to working for a more fair and sustainable society, rather than career politicians. Picture an attorney general who might prosecute wealthy and powerful lawbreakers.

We can expect a major push for jobs in renewable and safe energy, and projects to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure across the U.S. We can expect initiatives to transform racist aspects of our criminal justice system. We can expect a foreign policy more focused on diplomacy and peaceful solutions and genuine security than we have ever seen, because Bernie recognizes the human and economic consequences of war. We can expect Bernie to be Bernie—continuing to champion ordinary working people in every way imaginable.

We probably won’t see some of Bernie’s dreams enacted. While some of Bernie’s allies in Congress will introduce

Nixon’s Legacy: The War on Drugs

Last week John Ehrlichman, President Richard Nixon’s top domestic policy advisor, made the news. In a story published in Harpers magazine, Ehrlichman tells the story of the origin of the War on Drugs: “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people.

calls for the establishment of Supervised Injection Facilities (SIFs), one among many strategies recommended to save lives and improve the health and wellbeing of drug users and the community in which they live. But the loudest responses to the plan thus far have been objections that, once again, appeal to people’s fears.

These responses ignore the evidence that SIFs are effective in reducing overdose deaths, do not lead to increased drug use, and contribute to overall neighborhood health and safety. Furthermore, the evidence indicates that SIFs act as portals to drug treatment and health care for the people they serve, leading to improved health outcomes and decreased health care costs over the long term.

In support of harm reduction and a public health approach to drug use, The New York Academy of Medicine is a member of SIF-NYC, a coalition that advocates and plans for the establishment of SIFs in New York City. This is the home of many black and Hispanic survivors of the War on Drugs, including those who continue to struggle with their drug use—people left to use the city’s parks and public bathrooms, shooting up alone in unsupervised surroundings where they are more likely to die from an overdose.

We are now in the midst of a presidential campaign, one also marked by politically expedient appeals to fear.

With last week’s confirmation that the War on Drugs was launched in the White House in an effort to gain votes and demonize political enemies, those currently aspiring to the White House

we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs?

Of course we did.”

With our current heroin epidemic, concentrated among young white people living in suburbs and rural communities, and the bipartisan support for treatment rather than incarceration that has emerged in response, it’s easy for many of us to forget that the War on Drugs, from its beginning, has been a war that targeted minority communities. Primarily orchestrated for political advantage, it has unjustly incarcerated hundreds of thousands by appealing to people’s fears.

When addressing substance use in our communities today, we still struggle to escape the legacy of fear and political opportunism from the Nixon years. A few weeks ago, Svante Myrick—the mayor of Ithaca, New York—released a plan to address the drug problem his city faces.

The plan was developed with the input and support of the police department and district attorney, as well as the local syringe exchange program and health care practitioners. The comprehensive plan

have a duty to acknowledge and address this ugly history—through proposing and supporting remedies that put it firmly in the past.

Peter Schafer is the Deputy Director for Family Health and Disparities in the Center for Health Policy and Programs at The New York Academy of Medicine.

It Is Autism Awareness Month

As I sat in a local restaurant recently, I heard a man’s booming voice from the bar area. From what I gathered, he was upset about the lead contamination in the local schools’ water supply. He further commented that the exposed students could become “brain-dead” and “autistic” as a result.

I get it. He is concerned. He may be very worried about his own children.

And it’s not like hyperbolic statements aren’t bellowed from bar areas all the time. But here’s the thing: there are actual human beings that have experienced lead exposure, and, of course, there are actual human beings with autism. They are real people—a lot of them. They hear what we say, and they have feelings. I happen to know there were at least two sitting in the restaurant that night who heard themselves referred to as “brain-dead” and, apparently, somebody’s worst possible scenario.

Even if our community is dealing with a very serious issue, and it involves our children and we are impassioned—maybe even angry and fearful—this does not

justify slurring someone else’s child to protect your own. It’s not fair; it’s not ok; you don’t get a pass. This statement was inflammatory, inaccurate, and discriminatory. And it wasn’t isolated, I am sure. I’ve heard this type of rhetoric from Autism Speaks and in reaction to the Flint water crisis, and probably in many other guises too. It is a twisted version of “blame the victim” where the people most affected by an issue are spotlighted in the most negative and disparaging light in order to bring about public awareness. This kind of shock and awe campaign is irresponsible and negatively affects some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

As we enter April—Autism Awareness Month—I ask that we all check ourselves and really consider the words we use.

Nobody has permission to use my child or anyone else’s child with a disability as a bogeyman to further a cause, no matter how just. Stop insinuating that certain people are broken, hopeless, or a tragedy. This hurts them, and not just their feelings. When people are dehumanized it affects their human rights. If they are seen as worthless, what does this mean for their quality of life? Their potential? When a child hears, “God forbid our kid ends up like you,” how are they supposed to take that?

Find a different way to advocate. As a community, let’s strive to advocate for ALL children.

hen a coach looks out at the athletes he has on the field, his or her ability to turn the word “coach” from a noun to a verb effectively is dependent to a degree on how well he knows those athletes.

I think of the “one and done” programs—like Kentucky basketball—and I see one side of the spectrum. Coach John Calipari watches these players one or two times while they are in high school, runs them through a few weeks of practice, has them play 35 games, and then they’re gone.

Ithacans Go to Bingo To See Bernie

M

onday morning came earlier than usual for some young Ithacans.

Bernie Sanders was speaking in Binghamton, and some students made a field trip to hear the junior senator from Vermont.

“I’m legally supposed to tell you no,” said Jonathain Gordon, a BOCES senior, when asked whether the trip was selfassigned.

Gordon, along with friends from Lehman Alternative Community School (LACS) and Ithaca High, were hanging out on the floor of the Veterans Memorial Arena around 9 a.m. Four of the five are old enough to vote, save “J. Boogie,” a LACS sophomore fiddling with a Rubik’s cube who still had his own distinct reasons for sporting a “Bernie F***ing Sanders” pin.

“He’s like my grandfather,” J. Boogie said. “He hasn’t flip-flopped like Hillary Clinton … and I don’t want to go to a corporate school that looks like a Petco.”

Outside, there was a line of people waiting in the 50-ish degree drizzle to pass through security that curled around two sides of the old hockey arena and then doubled back on itself for a half-block.

Jonathan and Jai Hari Sanders’ arrival Meyerhoff, bandmates in with the claim he Answer the Muse, were wasn’t arriving sitting in the west bleachers for another as the first couple speakers, half hour. She labor representatives, were was lying or kicking off the program wrong: after a around 9:30 in the morning. few minutes of By bringing their kids along, radio host Jim the whole family was able to Hightower’s skip most of the line: “They progressive came up, gave us these orange folk-rap about wristbands and told us to go plutocrats and in,” Jonathan reported. then Gasland Bernie Sanders in Binghamton Alanna Salwen, a Cornell filmmaker Josh (Photo: Josh Brokaw) freshman, was holding a Fox decrying rainbow-themed Feel the Bern fracking with a sign in the stands. She had just made her dirty water bottle from Dimock, Pa. in his first donation to the campaign, of $5. hands, Sanders marched out to the platform “There might be more of those five at 10:10 to the minute with the crowd dollars coming,” Salwen said, “depending roaring. how this rally goes.”

Sanders spoke for just over an hour, Conrad Taylor, a 19-year-old hitting many themes now familiar to Binghamton City Council member was followers of this election season: the senator telling the crowd that Sanders was the first spoke of the “rigged economy,” he called presidential candidate to visit Binghamton for investing in “jobs and education rather in 16 years—George W. Bush made the St. than jail and incarceration,” and decried the Patrick’s Day parade in 2000—and deeming Walton family. He called for free tuition at the senator a Bearcat for teaching a course public colleges, financed by a tax on Wall at BU in 1990. In the southern concourse, Street speculation, and admitted “trade overlooking the street most aggressively is not a sexy issue” before declaring his secured by law enforcement, Jen Curley was opposition to free-trade agreements. listening to reminiscences from a friend Sanders spoke for several minutes about the days when a pair of butter knives against fracking and the Keystone XL were enough to spring the arena doors, to pipeline, at which mention someone on the hear Elvis or the Eagles for free. floor started shouting something sounded A red-jacketed usher attempted to angry—it was the only thing that roused disperse the small crowd watching for the New York Times from her seat—but

no serious conflict among attendees was observed.

In his closing remarks, Sanders called for single-payer health care and then reminded his audience that they are ultimately responsible for political change.

“You made the governor sign a bill ending fracking in New York State. It didn’t happen because the governor woke up and said ‘Why not end fracking today?’”

Sanders said. “He did it because he’s a good politician, and that’s fair enough, but he responded to the people.”

Outside the arena, after Sanders left the stage to David Bowie’s “Star Man” for handshaking time, Ithacan Keaton Daley said he was still voting for Clinton because of differences with Sanders on free trade.

Mary Thorpe, of Van Etten, said the rally was “everything we expected.”

“I think people are tired of the status quo, and Clinton is the status quo,” Thorpe said. She’s been canvassing in her area and so far has 36 for Sanders, eight for Clinton, and about 20 undecideds in the April 19 primary election.

Bridgette Heath and her son Altug Heath-Isigan came out the doors wearing matching blue “Talk Bernie To Me” T-shirts scored off a street vendor.

“That was amazing,” Heath said.

“I’ve been talking to everyone about Bernie,” Heath-Isigan reported.

Summer

Camp Guide The Ithaca Times and Tompkins County Youth Services Department are pleased to bring you this listing of many summer camps and programs in and around our area. Below are a few things to think about when making a decision.

Be aware there are differences between “camps” and programs, workshops, or classes. Official camps must be registered with the NYS Health Department and meet specific criteria. Some programs, workshops, or classes offered, may call themselves a camp, however, they may be exempt from Health Department regulations due to duration, group size, focus or location.

Some programs may be registered as school-aged child care programs through the Child Development Council but still call themselves camps. If you have any concerns or questions, 1) speak with the director of the camp or program you are interested in, 2) contact Kristee Morgan at the County Public Health Department, 274-6688, or 3) contact the Child Development Council at 273-0259 about camps operated by schoolaged child care programs (SACCs).

Reduced fees or scholarships: Be sure to ask if scholarships are available, even if the descriptions fail to mention them.

For parents who receive public assistance, contact the Department of Social Services regarding subsidized fees for camps, contact: Robin Collins @ 2745237 Many camps will provide before and after supervision for an additional fee. Be sure to inquire even if not listed.

Inquire directly about program accessibility for youth with disabilities. For advice, questions or information about mainstreaming youth into recreational programs, contact the Recreation Support Services the Ithaca Youth Bureau (607) 273-8364.

Ithacon 41 lights up the city

Ithacon 41, Saturday, April 16, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tori Cup and Gaming Events, Sunday, April 17, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Emerson Suites, Ithaca College

E

xcept for decent-paying full-time jobs, the ocean, and a little more sunshine, Ithaca’s pretty much got everything you could ever need: a metal festival, a hippie festival, a sound co-op, a killer record store, an architecturally-inclined library, community gardens, some colleges, a university, a sortof tall building (see the new Marriott), bookstores, a hip cinema, a skate park, mindfulness—and a really amazing annual comic festival.

Ithacon, celebrating its 41st convention this year, is one of the coolest, most colorful, and thoroughly looked-forward-to comic gatherings on the East Coast. The lineup this year is overflowing with a plethora of comic-book juggernauts, local dynamos, and some really cool events. It’s ridiculously jam-packed with talented artists, writers, and thinkers, many of them local. Ithacon 41 is loaded, with enough gusto to keep even the most casual fan engaged. Saturday’s the day for the standard comic convention: all the guests, panels, vendors, and traditional comic book stuff (the day you can find that back issue to the Concrete: Vol. IV series you’ve been searching for). Sunday will feature the Tori Cup (a fantasy and science fiction trivia challenge) and a maze of gaming events (like a Magic The Gathering tournament).

You wouldn’t think so, but Ithaca is very much a comic book kind of place. In fact, the first day I moved here I visited the comic book shop downtown (Comics For

Arts&Entertainment

A Lexicon of Imagination

Collectors), bought a few comics (a Hellblazer and a Detective Comics, Norm Breyfogle era), walked outside, looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt slightly mystical: a form of déjà vu enveloped me. “Any place with a comic book store is going to be ok. This is going to work out,” I thought to myself. I was transformed and colorized—that is, I was home. A comic book festival: well, this is the sort of thing that can change your life. If you haven’t experienced one yet, you’re in luck: the spaceship docks this Saturday, April 16 at 10 a.m., and all are welcome aboard.

For people working in the comic field and enthusiasts alike, conventions are the place where dreams and visions take a threedimensional shape. It’s really sweet when you get a chance to actually walk into the physical reality of this unique dimension and meet the inhabitants, the creators, and the shapers—you know, the nuts and bolts of the ship. You’ll often find that the stories behind the stories are the real jewels.

One of the coolest comics I ever read was Superman Vol. 2 #27. It came out in 1989 and had a really cool cover of these two guys (Gangbuster and Guardian) in blindingly colorful outfits going at it. There’s a fight scene between the two characters (Gangbuster is actually Superman) across a landscape of city rooftops that is probably the coolest action sequence of all-time. There’s such an amazing pace and tone to the scene, that the whole of it is totally unforgettable. I didn’t realize it until recently, but Roger Stern wrote it, and he’s an Ithacon guest this year. In fact, Stern’s been a guest at Ithacon for quite some time.

“Over the past 41 years, Ithacon has certainly claimed its own part of the local arts community,” Stern told me. “I think it’s done

a lot to help make people aware of comic books as an art form. As for myself, I’ve been attending the show since Ithacon 6. And with one exception, I’ve been a guest at every one since then. The exception was Ithacon 38, which I attended as a comic book fan, not as a guest.”

Stern’s a behemoth of a comic book writer, having had legendary runs of Superman, The Avengers, Spiderman, Captain America, and Doctor Strange, among others. He’s famous for his unique takes on both popular characters and lesser-known secondary characters, and he co-created one of Spiderman’s greatest foes: the Hobgoblin.

Stern talked a little about aspects of his methodology and research. “When I was tapped to write Captain America, for instance, I reread Only Yesterday, a history of America in the 1920s, which I’d originally read in college,” he said. “And I also read Since Yesterday and Don’t You Know There’s a War On?—covering America in the 1930s through the war years—all to get a feeling for what it had been like to come of age in that period, as Steve Rogers (Captain America) had. But when I started writing Spider-Man, I was already familiar with all of the previous Spider-stories. I did base some of Peter Parker’s supporting cast on my own fellow co-workers. With Spider-Man, “research” was really more a case of just paying attention to what was going on around me.”

Another comic book colossal and guest at Ithacon 41 is Steve Ellis. He has illustrated for DC, Marvel, Wildstorm, and a whole boatload of other big-name companies. He has also written and directed an extensive continued on page 21

funny, you have to let the audience see you at your worst. I pretty much grew up on Sally Field in seminal movies of my late‘70s youth, comedies like Smokey and the Bandit, The End, and Hooper, and then dramas like Norma Rae and Absence of Malice. So it’s nice to see her taking a real

risk with her work in the new comedy Hello, My Name Is Doris, one of those sweet, small movies with a few hidden spikes.

In the film—named for those stick-on name tags worn at meetings and seminars—Field plays Doris, a 60-something accountant for a hip New York magazine who lives with her mother on Staten Island in a house choked with clutter. Doris is one of those women who have been dismissed for years as a crazy cat lady, and we first see her at her mom’s funeral. Inspired by an insipid encounter with a smarmy motivational speaker (Peter Gallagher), she somehow finds the courage to hit on the new guy in the office (Max Greenfield, New Girl).

between stupid and clever, and I believe the line between romantic interest and delusion is even finer. When there’s an ache and vulnerability like there is with Field’s ditzy Doris, everyone in the audience feels it. It’s both hilarious and cringe-inducing to watch Field seize every chance to connect with Greenfield, but the film doesn’t make him a shallow ageist jerk; he actually responds to her in ways that seem to surprise him. And then there’s the moment when she plays a CD by his favorite band and slowly lets herself start to pogo. (There are few things I love more than when people dance unselfconsciously and really go for it in a place where no one can see them.)

The film boasts one of the best ensemble casts you’ll ever see together in one movie. Stephen Root and Wendi McLendon-Covey (Reno 911!) play Doris’ disapproving brother and sister-in-law, who press her to clean house and move out. Tyne Daly and Caroline Aaron play friends who are trying to be supportive, and Isabella Acres plays Daly’s 13-year-old daughter who helps put Doris onto social media to cherchez l’homme. Kyle Mooney plays a goofy fashion photographer, and some of Doris’s office mates include Natasha Lyonne, Kumail Nanjiani, and Rich Sommer (Mad Men).

The film’s co-writer and director— working with co-writer Laura Terruso, as Hello, My Name is Doris is based on her short film Doris and the Intern—is Michael Showalter. Showalter is a founding member of an 11-member comedy sketch group featured on the MTV series The State, which ran from 1993 to ’95. Just about everyone from that troupe is running comedy today. Showalter has been involved in some of my favorite comedic stuff of the last 15 years, from TV (Stella, and with The State’s Michael Ian Black, Michael and Michael Have Issues and The Michael Showalter Showalter) and film (the excellent rom-com parody They Came Together and the amazing Wet Hot American Summer).

One of his previous films, The Baxter, had some good moments and a nice central idea—Showalter played the Bill Pullman role, that is, the guy who always gets left at the altar in romantic comedies—but it could best be described as a good college try. With Hello, My Name Is Doris, shot in 23 days—20 days in Los Angeles and three in New York City for exteriors—Showalter is moving up nicely in terms of talent and quality. •

The Art of Imitation

Divas abound at Cortland Repertory Theatre

By Br yan VanC ampe n

Y

ou’d pay big bucks to see concerts starring Cher, Dolly Parton, Liza Minnelli, and Adele. Talk about economizing: singer and impersonator Dorothy Bishop’s “The Dozen Divas Show” features those four ladies, and eight more besides. Also, Bishop has been known to do “baker’s dozen” performances, so you just might get a bonus. “Dozen Divas” will be at CRT Downtown at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, April 15 and 16.

Bishop has played at Carnegie Hall with The New York Pops; Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater; Lincoln Center;

A Barbara Streisannd impersonator (Photo Provided)

Roseland Ballroom; and, most recently, Metropolitan Room, where she is a monthly featured artist. She toured with Faye Dunaway in the first national tour of Terrence McNally’s Tony Awardwinning play Master Class. She was also a nationally-televised finalist in season four of America’s Got Talent. Bishop spoke to the Ithaca Times about her show and her favorite diva.

Dorothy Bishop: I do the top icons of this century, or since basically the 1950s.

I actually created the show because I had worked as a Sarah Palin impersonator

during the 2008 election, and the agents [said], “Who else do you impersonate?”

And I just found it really fun. I did Cher, and I did Liza, and I just started adding on, and I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to do a show with all these divas?” I started [working on] it in 2012. We workshopped it for two years in the basement of a Mexican restaurant here in New York City. Then I started booking out on these small tours. It’s been very successful.

Ithaca Times: You’ve got some serious vocal and acting credits, divas aside.

DB: It uses all the parts of my voice.

I’m a classically trained opera singer. I sang in a rock band when I was a kid.

So it uses my rock training and my jazz training. So it’s really fun for me, because I’ve always had a very unusual voice, in that I can sing in a lot of different styles.

IT: Do you have a favorite diva?

DB: Everybody always asks me that. Just one? That’s so hard. I think I’d have to say Barbra Streisand, if I had to do just one, because she sang in so many different genres. So I wouldn’t be confined by one genre of music.

IT: Tell me about America’s Got Talent.

DB: [At the time] I was doing this pop-opera show. I was singing opera, but it had a disco beat. [Laughs] It was back during that Sarah Brightman movement, and there was a pop-opera tenor group that became very popular; they sang with Celine Dion. They’re still around. I did a piece like that for my audition. I stood in line; I didn’t have an agent or anything. I had just gotten off a ship, and I was jetlagged, and I couldn’t sleep. I put on a full diva costume and went and stood in line. Anybody that was in costume got attention by the cameras right away. So the cameras were following me, and I had to walk in—it’s like American Idol; you walk in and sing cold. So I just did it, and as I was walking out, the producer said, “Hey, you, come back.” I got thrown into the show, so I was being followed around by cameras for a week. I had to audition for different levels of producers, and I was kicked off; I only made one round. David Hasselhoff kicked me off.

IT: Ouch.

Even as a young dancer, she dreamed of setting her own steps to the music—and dancing the role of the Firebird, a beautiful, mythical creature who was turned into a bird by the evil wizard Kastchei as her punishment for refusing his love.

The Firebird herself falls in love with Prince Ivan, who strays into Kastchei’s garden and himself falls in love with the Princess Anastasia.

The Hardcore in You

Syracuse band’s frontman lays down some truth

By C hr i s tophe r J. Har r ing ton Dialysis, Old Bones, Empty Vessels, Escuela, Saturday, April 16, 7:00 p.m., The Loft at The Chanticleer

W

it and ferocity is a killer combo, particularly when it’s so damn fun. Syracuse’s Dialysis, a hardcore punk band that thrashes through cleverly whimsical anthems on the reg, has the street-creed, the heart, and the power to rattle things up in your 36-year-old body that you thought were dormant for good.

Seriously, you’ll be in the pit before you even know what hit you: bleeding from your ears, glasses broken, thumb hyperextended, f***ing psyched—and happy as a clam. I caught up with lead singer Ryan Canavan recently. Canavan is the owner of Hex Records, a resilient record label that’s been churning out killer punk, metal, and hardcore records since 1999. He’s also a soldier from the legendary ‘90s hardcore scene in Syracuse—so he knows a thing or two about making some noise.

Ithaca Times: Your self-titled album Dialysis comes in at under 10 minutes. It feels pretty complete. Is speed a particular

point of philosophical and ideological reference for you guys?

Ryan Canavan: Speed is definitely important. I mean, we named the first record Ludicrous Speed. We have always loved the guys in Ed Gein, who are also from Syracuse, and their motto was “go fast.” We think that’s a good way to go about most of our music. We like the instant gratification of coming up with something quickly that is fun and furious. We don’t like to over-think our songs when writing them. Keep it simple and keep it fun, you know?

IT: What’s the story of Dialysis? Have you guys known each other a long time?

RC: So I’ve been friends with John (guitar) for nearly 20 years at this point. He and Matt (drums) have played together in a black metal band called Ebony Sorrow for around 15 years now. Black metal isn’t really my thing, but John and Matt seem to like it a lot. About three years ago Ebony Sorrow was taking a bit of a break, and John and Matt still wanted to play music, so they started messing around writing more punk and grind-influenced stuff,

just for laughs. I had recorded guest vocals for an Ebony Sorrow song that had a more hardcore/punk feel to it about a year before that, and they had asked if I wanted to join in with them on this side project they were starting.

They showed me a few songs that they essentially came up with in one day, and I offered some revisions, and it Dialysis grinding it out (Ryan Canavan front-center in green)(Photo CG Photography) started to seem like something that would be fun to do, IT: When I saw you guys perform, so we kept at it, and here we are now. there was a theatrical presence that was IT: What has punk meant to you in quite impressive: it was comical and still terms of strength and vision? deadly serious and extreme. Does humor RC: I’ve been profoundly influenced by play an important role in your approach? punk music for most of my life. Coming of RC: Absolutely. I like the idea of some age in Syracuse in the mid-‘90s, I was lucky of our songs being serious and some not enough to bear witness firsthand to one of at all. Some songs we write are personal, the greatest hardcore scenes in the world. It or bring up heavy topics.

Sure, I really like when my own way ever since. From punk I have someone can take lyrics to heart and it taken the idea of veganism and put it into impacts them somehow. But there has to be practice in my daily life. I consider myself a fun element as well. I don’t front a band straight edge, for myself, and not to judge like it’s my job.

Though even the number of city of Ithaca diners has dwindled, this local landmark has kept the hot coffee coming in heavy-walled mugs, alongside platters of fresh eggs, sheaves of bacon, and buttered toast, six days a week, week in and week out.

body of work that stretches across many mediums.

Ellis is a seasoned veteran of Ithacon to boot. “The first time I heard of Ithacon was in 1992 when I came down from Syracuse as a student,” he said. “I got to meet a bunch of professionals at a convention for the first time. It was in the old Armory, and it was really exciting. I met Bart Sears, Tom Peyer, and a bunch of other comic pros. I think that’s by far my favorite [Ithacon], because it was my first, and it was in the Armory, which was a fantastic location.”

Ellis is the co-owner and creator of Bottled Lighting: a studio, publisher, and producer of artwork and graphic fiction.

Along with co-creator David Gallaher, the two have spearheaded some extremely popular and award-winning books,

world (Disney and Sailor Moon), so it was fortunate my Dad made an effort to get me to interact with the artists.”

Swan’s illustration style incorporates a touch of Disney and a lick of manga; it’s wickedly stylistic and unique, and she knows exactly what it has taken to get to this point. “Draw. Every. Day. I can’t stress how many times I’ve heard it,” she said.

“Think of your drawing like a muscle. You can’t show up at the gym and expect to be able to dead lift 300 pounds or run a full marathon without training for it. Art is the same way, and every training day allows me to avoid ‘off ’ days or the dreaded art block—at least, most of the time.”

Saturday’s convention will also include really awesome guests like storyboard artist and writer Warren Greenwood, whose extensive resume includes animated cartoons like The Tick, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Greenwood was also a part of

including the web comics Only Living Boy, High Moon, and Box 13. The two have steered the company progressively forward: keenly aware of the medium of choice of the smartphone generation.

“With Box 13 we really tried to look at how people would read on a phone,” Ellis said. “As the first comic specifically created for the iPhone/smartphone, we wanted the experience to be unique to the new medium. We focused less on pages and more on panels and working with how the reader would “swipe” images to get to the next. This allowed us to tell a much more high-speed story and change the direction of the reading to a side-to-side motion. We were able to tell the story with an almost animation feel, with the reader being a part of the animation, since their swiping would dictate the speed of movement between panels. It was a great experiment and one that really opened up new audiences to comics.”

Emily Swan, a Corning native, and a vigorous illustrator and creator—with self-published titles like Adventures in Crapville, Swanburger, and Reckless Geometry—will have a booth again at this year’s convention. She’s been frequenting Ithacon as a fan and guest for quite some time now. “I have one very clear memory of my dad taking me to an Ithacon when I was 9. It wasn’t like anything I’d attended before,” Swan said. “Unfortunately, I was completely enthralled in the animation

the renegade underground comix scene of the ‘70s. His comic Space Dog (1978) is an unforgettable classic. Also on the bill is artist, cartoonist, and writer Frank Cammuso; cartoonist Jim Brenneman; artist Mandy Brimmer; cartoonist and artist Jim Garmhausen; paper artist Mason McMahon; manga writer Maegan Cook; fantasy artist and illustrator Storn Cook (who worked with Ellis on Clash of the Dragons); Jim Coon, a video game, collectible card game, caricaturist, and sketch card artist; writer Dave Dellecese; artist Jon Haeffner; artist Joseph Schichtel; fantasy writer Dan Sopp; artist Ken Wheaton; and a ridiculous number of other accomplished artists and writers.

The list is bonkers!

This weekend, Emerson Suites at Ithaca College will transform into something like The Justice League meets the crew of Voyager (Star Trek) on a holodeck recreating the Iowa Writer’s Workshop. The colors and shapes from decades of intricate comic book creation will be both blinding and illuminating: transforming an ordinary suite into something of an intergalactic space ship.

You don’t even need a ticket: just show up.

It’s going to rule! • For the full interviews with Roger Stern, Steve Ellis, and Emily Swan, and a full listing of guests and events for Ithacon 41, visit Ithaca.com.

The Commons, Downtown Ithaca, Thursday, April 14, through Sunday, April 17

Barnes Hall, Friday, April 15, 8:00 p.m.

The Ithaca Fringe Festival is back for its third annual theatrical feast. The acts hail from Rochester, New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Ithaca. What exactly is a fringe festival you ask? George Sapio, producing artistic director of the Ithaca Fringe, explained, “We bring in acts that might not be seen in traditional theaters. They’re edgy, noncommercial, sometimes a little raw, and they can be almost any genre of performing arts—plays, comedies, dance, mixed media, solo acts, storytelling, even puppetry.” Sounds like fun!

Ensemble X, will return to Barnes Hall for its final concert of the season on this Friday, with a program titled “The Blue Studio.” Featuring guest composer Stephen Hartke, the program will include chamber works by Hartke, Toru Takemitsu, Kate Soper, and Jonathan Harvey, as well as a premiere by doctoral composer Louis Chiappetta. The concert will open with Stephen Hartke’s The Blue Studio: Portfolio for Violin, Violoncello, and Piano. Violinist Calvin Wiersma and cellist Elizabeth Simkin (both from the Ithaca College faculty) will join pianist Xak Bjerken for this work.

HeadsUp Real-time raps

By Christopher J. Harrington Open Mike Eagle, Sammus, Mr. McBean, Flocarious, Friday, April 15, 7:00 pm, Emerson Suites, Ithaca College, Ithaca Bureau of Concerts (BOC) and Ithaca Underground presents

R

apping with translucent tones and sikly hues that reflect an imagination of earnest propulsion, LA-based hip-hop artist Open Mike Eagle brings a generous abstraction to the art of lyrical expression. In fact, he refers to his style as Art Rap: forging an old-school realism with contemporary sensualities. It’s bright hip-hop: colorful, lean, witty, and original.

“I’m not pulling from any sort of template you know; it’s a genuine expression,” Open Mike told me recently. “Art rap sort of means I’m not following the trend—I’m bringing something new and different to the form. There’s certain freedom in the concept of art.”

Open Mike’s raps cover a multitude of ideas and configurations, offering a glimpse into the wickedly frothing and ultra-creative underground rap scene.

But as he pointed out, the underground isn’t directly related to any sort of distinct sound or style; rather, it’s a means to the access of goods. “Underground music isn’t about the style, it’s related to the kind of access you have to the music; the way the

consumer experiences the product—the distribution of it. I mean Kayne (West) was underground when he was a backpack-rapper in Chicago.

So it’s not about the sound.”

The polarizing shifts in stylistic forms that Open Mike operates in can be altogether dizzying; encompassing soulful yearns, intricate sentimentality, generational metaphors, and gritty realism. This cornucopia of technique was certainly honed at LA’s famous Project Blowed: an open-mike workshop that’s graduated a ridiculous amount of talented and unique rappers. The school counts Aceyalone, Busdriver, and Orko Eloheim as alumni. “Project Blowed was like a rap-style dojo: it was a laboratory to explore anything you wanted. It certainly gave me a different way of looking at things, and helped increase my understanding of the value of artistic form. Individuality is absolutely essential to me. What I value most importantly is that I create work that is true and real to me. That’s where it all begins.”

If you’re going on skills, style, and imagination, Open Mike’s about as unstoppable as any rapper out there.

With humor, ingenuity, and the coolest videos you’ll see all day (go to youtube and you’ll see what I’m talking about), this is a rapper that defies expectation.

In a society that carefully selects each

and every product it presents to its loyal minions, its beyond refreshing to hear someone rap about things in relation to one’s real-time experience; that is: ideas that exist for themselves. “About 20 years ago—I think like 94’—rap music started to embrace materialism and the ideas behind capitalism, “ Open Mike mused. “And in turn America started to embrace rap music; and there’s a trajectory to it— and here we are now.”
