thaca should celebrate its place as the third most popular city destination for Airbnb guests in New York state while they can, since it appears a limit may soon be placed on how many nights per calendar year someone may rent out their house to tourists.

The Town of Ithaca will soon be introducing legislation which, if passed, would limit Airbnb and other short-term rentals to 29 total nights per year if the owner is absent from the house (known throughout the legislation as “Unhosted Short Term Rental” or USTR).

The legislation is still being drafted, so certain aspects are subject to change as discussions continue. But a copy of the bill lays out the foundation for what will be its final form, including regulations, penalties for violations and criteria for license approval.

Ithaca Town Supervisor Bill Goodman, who has been involved with the townorganized Short-Term Rental Subcommittee, said there will also be additional requirements regarding parking and a system developed to deal with neighbor complaints. Goodman said they don’t have any information about average or maximum number of nights that Airbnb owners in Ithaca or Tompkins County are renting in a given year, so it’s hard to tell how much this will impact the average short-term rental proprietor here.

For now, though, it’s important to note that not all Airbnbs (or other short-term rentals) would be impacted under this rule. For instance, people who live in the house while they rent it out, such as putting a single bedroom in their house up for renting, would not be limited to 29 days. But all unhosted rentals are subject to the maximum threshold, even people who

Cornell scientist receives grant for Tanzanian partnership

F

or the third straight year, L’Oréal USA has selected 10 individuals to receive its annual Changing the Face of STEM (CTFS) mentorship grant, which is awarded to former fellows of the personal care company’s For Women in Science program. Among this year’s recipients is Cornell University’s Dr. Nozomi Nishimura, an assistant professor in the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering.

Nishimura will receive $2,500 to help fund a student exchange program between biomedical engineering undergraduate students at Cornell University and Arusha Technical College (ATC) in Tanzania.

(In addition to the L’Oréal grant, which will cover student travel costs, the exchange program received an Engaged Cornell planning grant of

$10,000 to fund visits to and from Tanzania to coordinate its development.) The grant, presented by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is intended to support former fellows’ efforts to inspire the next generation of females in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

Developed in partnership with Menansili Mejooli, a Cornell biomedical engineering Ph.D. student and ATC faculty member, and Dr. Chris Schaffer, an associate professor and director of graduate studies in the Meinig School, the exchange program’s primary goal is to improve Tanzanian health care by training local technicians to maintain and service non-functional medical equipment.

lenges in health care service in Tanzania is the lack of basic, essential, diagnostic and therapeutic medical equipment in most of the hospital and health centers, especially in rural places where the population is higher than in urban areas,” said Mejooli in an email to The Ithaca Times.

Mejooli said personnel is also an issue, as well-trained technicians are hard to find in the country, particularly ones that are available to repair the equipment. Additonally, having to wait for replacement parts to ship from overseas makes repairs a huge obstacle.

“One of the things we learned in Tanzania is that there’s quite a challenge in the health care system, but there’s also quite an opportunity that we could make a difference that would make a large impact,” Nishimura said. “It’s harder to do that in the U.S. because the biomedical device industry is very hard to get into, it’s highly regulated, and it’s also very expensive. [...] On the other hand, in Tanzania there are solutions and opportunities working with local engineers to—fairly quickly— make an immediate impact.”

Currently, the program is set to begin during the 2019-20 academic year. In August of 2019, six Cornell biomedical engineering students and a few faculty will travel to Tanzania

the talk is “Reclaiming America’s Democracy” and will focus on the country’s current status with Donald Trump as president and the prospects of untangling big money from politics. There will also be a discussion of his upcoming book “A New Foreign Policy: Beyond American Exceptionalism,” and voter registrations will be facilitated at the event.

Police at “breaking point” due to under-staffing

in any other city in New York State, but what is expected of us here by community residents is much higher.”

Schwartz said the current model of policing is unsustainable without more officers to alleviate the strain on those there now. When officers do interact with the community in a professional manner but not necessarily when they’re on patrol -- such as the Community Police BBQ -- they are being paid overtime. That used to work as a means to incentivize officers, but over the last few years they have become less likely to take the extra money, opting instead to spend time with their families or the like.

Time dedicated to community engagement has subsequently dwindled, even while the demand for those services, and the population and density of the city, have both risen considerably.

“Our workload has gotten greater, and we are at a breaking point,” Schwartz said. “The men and women of the [Police

he Ithaca Police Department took to Common Council Wednesday night to lodge their complaints about years-long under-staffing that they say is inhibiting their ability to effectively police.

With several police officers making up an uncommonly sparse crowd for the monthly meeting, the two highest ranking members of the police department’s union spoke passionately about the impact long-term short-staffing has had on the department. While they said they might have enough members to complete basic staff services, the type of community policing that Ithaca prioritizes exposes the weaknesses the staffing creates.

“The shortage is sorely inadequate,” IPD union Vice President Ted Schwartz, an active police officer, said. “I’m here to ask for your support.

I’m here to ask for more than words [...] Currently the staffing at the Police Department is adequate for basic police services, what you might find

Benevolent Association] are getting very burned out. Most of what we need to do is on overtime: Community Barbecue, Ithaca Festival, anything extra besides staffing the road is largely relied upon overtime, and that only carries us so far.”

Staffing levels have been a years-long gripe among the police department. Police officers at Wednesday’s meeting said the rate of officers retiring outpaces the number IPD has been allowed to hire in recent years; they said the four new hires scheduled for 2019 doesn’t even cover the number of officers who are slated to leave the force in the first few months of next year.

Their pleas came at an interesting time, as just last weekend the city saw two violent assaults in the heart of downtown. That was never directly mentioned, though it was vaguely alluded to by PBA President Eric Done. Also, as noted by the mayor, the city is about to dive into the meat of budget season.

“Some of you have seen the consequences of running short, and I won’t get into the graphic details of that [...] This city has outgrown what we’re capable of,” Done said during public comment. “We don’t want to be in a position where people

get hurt because we don’t have the resources to respond properly. That would be a terrible tragedy.”

Despite the police’s pleas, and apparent sympathy from the council, it was unclear if the night’s appeals would result in any actual extra officer hirings. Mayor Svante Myrick said that while they could certainly look at police staffing another time, nearly every department in the city is short-staffed.

Alderperson Seph Murtagh was the only Council member to respond to the assembled officers, though he only said he was glad they had taken the time to alert the city officials of the situation and their stance, particularly with budget season around the way.

“Obviously we want to make sure there’s enough staffing in the police department to protect the city, and we’ve had to claw our way back over the last several years from the terrible financial recession as we all know,” Murtagh said.

“But I think you’re coming at an opportune moment to have this discussion, heading into the budget, and I’m glad that you came tonight and alerted us to this.”

Omega Psi Phi President Adebowale Sordiq Sodeke said everyone left Willard Straight Hall by 1:45 a.m., in an article from the Cornell Daily Sun. It was shortly thereafter when a fight broke out and Nazaire along with fellow Ithaca College student Raheim Williams were stabbed.

Nazaire was taken to Cayuga Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries and died, while Williams was taken to SUNY Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The man responsible for the stabbing, Nagee Green, was later sentenced to 20 years in prison: three years for seconddegree assault and 17 years to life for second-degree murder.

In addition to naming Cornell University in the suit, she also named Cornell Chief of Police, Kathy Zoner, the Events Management and Planning Team, Omega Psi Phi Delta Mu Chapter President Adebowale

Sordiq “Debo” Sodeke, and Robert Alfonzo, a member of Omega Psi Phi’s Delta Mu chapter who was assigned to collect door cover charges.

In her lawsuit, Toussaint blames Cornell University Police for not having enough police officers at the event to ensure the crowd’s safety. She claims that Cornell University and Omega Psi Phi acted negligently by not keeping her son or the large crowd of people at the event safe.

“As a result of the negligence on behalf of defendants, including defendant Cornell University, the Event was approved without proper verification of the estimated attendance of the event, thereby failing to require necessary and/or adequate security/ supervision and/or policing, thereby putting the event goers in risk of physical harm/ injury.”

She goes on to say that

Lt. Gov candidate Jumaane Williams Visits Southside Community Center

eople have called him an agitator and people haven’t called him a politician, as he prefers the term activist-elected official.

But people may want to be prepared to call New York City Councilman Jumaane Williams the next lieutenant governor of New York State.

Since announcing his run for office, Williams has tackled a whole host of issues as he strives to turn the office of Lieutenant Governor to a progressive office for change instead of just another politician whose primary function is to defend the governor.

Currently, Williams is serving as a New York City councilman to the 45th District of Brooklyn. Prior to that Williams served as an activist for New York City. Through his activism, Williams has protected undocumented immigrants from being deported through unjust methods. This led to him being arrested and convicted for blocking an ambulance while he was trying to block a friend and fellow activist from going to the hospital after fainting; a trip to the hospital would have meant deportation as well. During his time on the New York City Council’s Public Education Committee, he fought for proper funding of schools and has been striving to find ways to work with his colleagues on the other side of the political spectrum.

The issues he plans to tackle in office come from what he considers are the shortcomings of the current administration, one in particular being the Excelsior Scholarship program.

Williams discussed how this program wasn’t released properly and hasn’t been able to operate the way it was designed.

“If I was Lieutenant Governor we would have never put out something that’s as fraudulent of a shame as Excelsior,” Williams said. “Excelsior is touted as a free tuition program universally, yet only three percent of students across the state have this and less

than two percent in the City University where I graduated from have this. I would have either said that we have to find funding for this so it can be universal or announced it as a pilot program that we’re going to expand and let grow.”

Finding funding is something that can often be difficult but Williams has come up with a proposal on what he calls “fairness fees” to help put money back into the New York State budget. One fairness

from high-frequency ‘flash traders,’ not Grandma or casual traders in the stock markets.”

Most of the fairness fees that Williams highlighted have the potential to bring in amounts ranging from $500 million to $14 billion. However, Williams would like to see some of this money go towards correcting some of the administration’s wrongs, as he feels there are so many that are of dire concern.

“There are a series of areas

Democratic Lt. Gov. candidate Jumaane Williams, addressing the crowd at Southside Community Center last week, received an endorsement from the New York Times. (Photo by Casey Martin)

fee in particular that would bring $10 billion back to New York State comes from stock transfers; Williams called for it to be reinstated and used to fund public schools, as well as provide some property tax relief.

“From 1905 to 1980, New York State collected a small fairness fee on Wall Street stock trades,” Williams said.

“In the Reagan era, we began giving the money back to Wall Street, literally collecting this money and then cutting a check, now up to $14 billion every year. The majority of this money would be collected

where that funding can go, whether it is for Cuomo’s housing crisis, which is probably the most palpable failure of the administration,” Williams said. “Whether it’s Cuomo’s transportation crisis, which is another failure, whether it’s actually living up to what the judge said had to happen in the fiscal equity, funding schools, or dealing with climate issues.

We can put infrastructure in for renewable energy and at the same time have a new deal where the people who are building that infrastructure have jobs they didn’t have.

That’s one of the primary

things that I want to spotlight and highlight and have a conversation around.”

In addition to trying to make housing affordable, Williams wants to bring some of the same protections that people downstate have when it comes to rent regulations to Upstate New York. One thing in particular that he is fighting for is called “just cause,” which would keep people from being evicted over small issues.

Williams is also advocating for bringing affordable healthcare to all New Yorkers but is finding that certain budgetary changes have placed more expenses on cities and municipalities than the state itself.

“What they’ve done in this state, particularly under the leadership of this governor and lieutenant governor is let people believe that they are the masters of the budget,” Williams said. “But what they’ve really done is take away from the state budget, things that the state should be paying for, and then pass that along to cities and municipalities and then they don’t have the money because of the spending cap, and rightfully so the property tax cap. Now, what they have to do is cut service and not pave roads. We have to take the mirror and veil away from that sham [...] You’re balancing off the backs of the people who need services.”

According to the latest poll from Siena College, it seems that Williams may end up winning the election but not with his running mate, Cynthia Nixon. Instead, he may end up working with Governor Andrew Cuomo. However, Williams’ primary concern about his running mate is that whomever it may be is concerned with productivity, not just furthering their own political career. As Williams has adamantly stated about his political career, “I didn’t get elected to get re-elected, I got elected to do the job.”

There are laws that are unjust and seek to demonize people.

We are a nation that speaks highly of integrity, owning responsibility and being held accountable, but it is a false pretense to hide its true face of lies and manipulation.

Through unjust laws we have mass incarceration and excessive incarceration for non-violent offenses and violations. The scales of justice are not equal in measure and are manipulated by the oppressors.

Surely how can justice prevail through these things. We have a system that lacks the Law of Love. Laws that unjustly remove fathers from the lives of their children, leaving a world full of fatherless children. They say “In God we trust” but this too is a false pretense that is ungodly.

have had the privilege and honor to know and work with Sheriff Ken Lansing for the past 21 years. During that time, Ken has provided exemplary leadership to the men and women of the Cayuga Heights Police Department and the Tompkins County Sheriff ’s Office.

During my tenure as police chief in Dryden, Ken and I often collaborated and worked hand in hand on projects and issues that affected both of our communities. Ken was one of the founding members of the Tompkins County Municipal Police Chiefs Association and served as the organization’s President.

Sheriff Lansing’s sense of professionalism, integrity and compassion for the people of Tompkins County is beyond reproach. As a community leader and Sheriff, he truly embodies the principle of policing with a passion for law enforcement combined with a compassion for those he serves.

Endorsing Derek Osborne for Tompkins County Sheriff and Michael Lausell in NY State Senate District 58

I

strongly support Derek Osborne for Sheriff and Michael Lausell in NY State Senate District 58.

Derek understands the County’s efforts to reduce recidivism by helping people re-enter the community after incarceration. Following his 20-year law enforcement career, Derek worked for a non-profit reintegration program for federal prison inmates, connecting them with counseling, employment training, and other social service referrals. Having that direct experience, helping people succeed after incarceration, will be a first for a Tompkins County Sheriff.

Derek also knows his way around the county budget from his years serving as our Undersheriff. He truly understands how to balance the department’s needs with his responsibility to the taxpayers.

Michael is a farmer and Schuyler County Legislator. I met him as an early advocate in the fight against fracking. He and his husband Rusty are both volunteer emergency responders, a role that Michael finds keeps him in touch with what’s really going on in the community.

This past spring, when Crestwood (proposer of the LPG storage project under Seneca Lake) admitted the salt caverns under the lake might be leaking, Michael got the Schuyler County Legislature to unanimously reverse its previous support. Three days later the DEC denied the Crestwood permit. We need that kind of smart advocacy in Albany!

On Thursday, September 13, polls are open from noon to 9:00 p.m.

Endorsing Amanda Kirchgessner for NY State Senate District 58

U

ntil last Tuesday, I wasn’t really sure who I’d vote for in the upcoming (Thursday 9/13) Democratic Primary election for the NY Senate seat currently occupied

by Tom O’Mara. I’ve been working for the past several months alongside Amanda Kirchgessner at the Enfield Food Pantry, and so I was delighted when she announced her candidacy. I had been impressed with her passion for justice and her commitment to the people in our community who are most adversely affected by bad public policy. But I didn’t really know whether she had what it takes to be an effective leader.

Last Tuesday my husband and I went to hear Amanda and her Democratic opponent Mike Lausell speak at Southside Community Center. Mike is an excellent candidate and he and Amanda shared many of the same positions on the issues. But we were surprised to find that Amanda was consistently more knowledgeable, more deeply insightful about public policy, more articulate, more personally engaging, and far more powerful and persuasive as a speaker. She was very strong, she was smooth, and she was impressive.

As a low wage restaurant worker here in Ithaca, Amanda’s commitment to fighting social and economic injustice is palpable. And this is one of her greatest assets in terms of winning the support of diverse upstate voters. She really is the real deal. And she has clearly worked hard to get all around the district and connect with the grassroots communities and the people at the bottom of the economic heap. Just check out the endorsements page of her website.

After listening to Amanda Kirchgessner speak, I came away completely inspired, energized and excited. I intend to do everything I can to get her elected.

mid the pageantry of the celebration of Tompkins Cortland Community College’s 50th anniversary, the college was taking another important step, one that will undoubtedly significantly influence the school’s direction as it navigates rather turbulent times.

Two days after ringing in its half-century landmark, TC3, as it’s commonly known, inaugurated its fourth president, Dr. Orinthia Montague. She is the first woman to serve as president of the school.

During her inauguration, there was a buzz of hope that filled the school’s gymnasium. It’s not the type of hope that comes when a malevolent regime is toppled to make way for a new ruler; by all accounts, her predecessor Carl Haynes was universally adored and generally successful during his long 23 year tenure, representing nearly half of its total existence, at the helm of the school. But it’s the certain brand of hope that seems to come with relief that change, while simultaneously necessary and occasionally uncomfortable, isn’t inevitably bad.

Speaker after speaker at last week’s ceremony told of Montague’s poise and leadership skills that they are convinced will translate well to the presidency of TC3.

The president of TC3’s adjunct faculty said she saw no flinch in Montague, that there hasn’t been a “deer in the headlights’ moment. It’s a little odd, to hear people speak of someone as if they’re a new hire even when they’ve already been on the job, officially at least, for 14 months. But during those 14 months, Montague said she’s been doing much of what a new hire would be doing anyway. Building connections to the community, becoming accustomed to the school’s place in the area’s educational landscape, and arguably the chief concern of creating relationships with students and faculty have all been high on the agenda.

But the time she’s already served on the job made the ceremony less of a introduction to Montague, and more of a testament to what she’s been able to accomplish so far, and the persona and characteristics that she has brought to the office.

“The three Cs mean we are caring, committed, and community-focused,” Montague said, referring to TC3’s nickname. “And we’re three times more fun [...] Like Muhammad Ali said, ‘It’s not bragging if you can back it up.’”

It had been a long time, since the early 1990s, that someone else had been at the helm of TC3. During his reign, which lasted from 1994 until 2017, Carl Haynes

college was easier.”

It helps make the job personal for Montague. As she said in her speech to students, faculty and community members at her inauguration ceremony last week (though she’s been on the job for over a year, she wanted the event to coincide with the school’s 50th anniversary festivities which were also taking place last week), while the critiques of higher education are valid, she looks at her own life to reinforce the value it holds in modern society as a whole. That’s especially true for those disadvantaged at birth, either because of race, gender, economic class or otherwise.

“There’s a discussion nationally about ‘Is it worth it?’” Montague said to the crowd. “That’s a fair question. But we must go beyond a verbal response. We must demonstrate the value education brings to individuals and to families, and it’s my belief that education is an equalizer, providing pathways out of poverty and into the middle class.”

She went on to say that education provides the “greatest hope of upwards social mobility” and is one of the most crucial stepping stones toward the American dream. Community colleges offer a version of that stepping stone that is easily the most widely accessible in the higher education field.

“We’re in an enviable position in our educational sector,” Montague said. “We’re right in the middle. We’re able to work upstream and downstream to engage students so that they can be successful from cradle to career.”

Montague is clearly keenly aware of the work that has come before her, but equally confident, as the community seems to be as well, in her ability to continue advancing the school’s mission. Perhaps the most salient part of Montague’s inaugural address came at the end, signaling the end of her speech and potentially laying the groundwork for what will be the theme of her presidency while also serving as a shout-out to her roots as a Jamaican-born success story.

“I’m mindful that we can’t rest on our laurels; we have important work ahead that we must do, all of us, to ensure that we can mark another occasion 50 years from now to celebrate this great college again and all the amazing, important work that we do,” Montague said, before employing her native Jamaican language to extend a message to the school. “The translation is ‘This isn’t mine, we all created this.’”•

he nerve of some coaches…

After a full weekend of coaching her club soccer team, which came on the heels of a very demanding schedule for her Ithaca High varsity team, Maureen Whitehead slept in for an extra hour on Monday, messing with my deadline.

All is forgiven. As stated, Coach Whitehead is in the thick of soccer season, and any extra time for an interview is much appreciated. At this writing, the Little Red is 5-0 - which is not that much of a surprise – but what is pleasantly surprising is the fact that in the face of some injuries, some players have stepped up and showed that the team has more depth than some realized.

“We were 7-7 last year,” the secondyear coach said. “While it’s not surprising that we’re winning games against teams we played very tough last year, the biggest difference is the fact that the girls are accepting placements and positions, working together and supporting one another.

There is no drama.”

She added that the energy surrounding the team is different than it has been before, highlighted by players making the right, selfless play with the ball if they see a teammate open. She noted that the team’s 22 goals on the season have been scored by 12 different players.

“Last year,” Whitehead said. “We split games with Elmira, Corning and Horseheads, some most of those games could have gone one way or the other. I love playing teams like that, as I don’t like lopsided scores either way. It makes us better.”

The Little Red is led by tri-captains Seneca Blakely-Armitage, Aurora Kiefer and Meredith Salmon, all seniors. According to Coach Whitehead, “Seneca and Meredith were captains last year, and I chose Aurora to join them based on her ability to energize the team. She makes everyone feel included. She’s a great role model.”

Ithaca faced some challenges in those first five games, one of them being that the weather hovered in the 90’s for much of

the week. They also played some tough rivalry games, and when they hosted Corning, it wasn’t until the clock read 1:27 in the second half that sophomore Mackenzie Rich found the net to help the Little Red to a 1-0 victory. Rich leads the team with five goals in five games thus far.

When the team traveled to Horseheads, Whitehead knew there would be adjustments to be made based on the playing surface. “We’re a turf team,” she offered.

“We practice and play on turf, and theirs is a grass field.” She continued, “Once we settled into what was a very physical game, we got a goals from Mackenzie and another one from Alecia Nicholas and we came away with the win.”

Given that soccer is indeed a very demanding and physical game, any team that cannot adjust to injuries will be at a disadvantage, and Whitehead said, “We have had some injuries, but we have learned from them. Seneca rolled her ankle and did not play against Corning, but seeing others step up and playing big has deepened our confidence.”

She added, “Erin Dracup is dealing with shin splints, and Abby Hagen has an ankle issue, but we’re nursing them along.

These girls will be playing until late October – if not longer – and it’s fantastic to learn that our team is a little deeper than we had realized. That bodes well not only for this season, but for next year as well.”

The Little Red’s schedule does not get any easier, as they will take the pitch against Maine-Endwell, Vestal and Elmira later this week. Coach Whitehead gave an example of why she chose BlakelyArmitage to be one of the team’s leaders, saying “Seneca (who, as stated earlier, is dealing with an ankle injury) has been very accepting of changes and has been embracing whatever role necessary. That taps into the maturity level we need to see as a team.” •

for three or for weeks. Upon their arrival, they will be partnered with ATC students and intern in local hospitals and medical clinics with the task of repairing, improving, and innovating medical equipment.

Then, later in the fall, ATC students will come to Cornell and receive technical training and engage in networking opportunities. Once each set of students has returned to their respective countries, the two groups will work from separate locations on joint projects and research.

Additionally, the CTFS grant will permit a female Tanzanian participant in the student exchange program, with the purpose of encouraging female involvement in the industry from a nation that severely lacks gender equality.

“It’s really important to me that this [grant] is also one that encourages women to establish themselves for a career because I think that sets them up for a good career, but also sets up perhaps the entire industry and the health care system in Tanzania to take advantage of the skills and talents of women,” Nishimura said.

What makes the student exchange program so impactful is not just its ability to significantly improve health care in Tanzania, but also its potential for the two groups of students to mutually benefit in meaningful ways with lasting effects. For the Tanzanian students, the exchange program is an opportunity to learn about the

full scope of the biomedical field, as they have mostly been exposed to the engineering aspects rather than those relating to biology.

“The most important part that we are hoping this program can really bring help is the exposure that our students will get into the state-of-the-art technology that is currently in America,” said Nicodemus Mbwamdo, a faculty member of ATC. Conversely, Cornell students will be presented with a different experience: reallife exposure to medical equipment and the application of it. Nishimura said that would be beneficial to help Cornell students develop a global perspective, rooted in the real world.

“Cornell students will have the opportunity to see the real-life application of the equipment and technologies that they develop or will develop in the future, and also will see what goes wrong with technologies in a resource-limited setting, and learn how to incorporate that insight in the technology development,” Mejooli said.

But although their experiences and intellectual gains will vary, both Cornell and Arusha Technical College students will be motivated by a common desire: helping others through their work in biomedical engineering.

“One of the reasons I think people come to engineering and biomedical engineering is that they really feel like they can make an impact, and they want to make lives better,” Nishimura said.

Omega Psi Phi was negligent in that the event was “was improperly supervised, staffed, and policed, thereby causing risk to the event goers.” Reports at the time of the incident stated there would have been two event managers and two Cornell police officers at Willard Straight Hall that night.

Even though the event was viewed as a routine “late night event,” it could have been deemed a high-risk event based on its compliance with three of the seven criteria for what makes a high-risk event, according to the lawsuit.

The first factor is that the event had a large crowd, with the Ithaca Police Department saying hundreds of college-aged people attended the event. The second factor is that the event was open to the public, which may include guests under the age of 18 and finally that the event would continue past 11 p.m.

While the event didn’t touch any of the other factors for high-risk events, it wouldn’t have changed the amount of security that is provided for something like this, as those three factors appear often with college events like the one Nazaire attended.

At the time of Nazaire’s murder in 2016, his was the first homicide in Ithaca since December 1, 2011.

retain primary residency of their properties but rent it out on weekends. Unhosted rentals, Goodman said, are the source of most complaints and noise problems, even if they are just weekend-long.

Under the draft legislation, total criteria for obtaining a short-term rental license is not detailed, though it is mentioned that a code enforcement inspection for approval and renewal is required. Punishments for violations include first-time fines of $500 for conviction of an offense, and jumps to $1000 fine for the next one. There’s also the possibility of rental license revocation.

It’s also likely, though not definite, that

rental owners will have to provide their cell phone numbers to neighbors and code enforcement officers in case of complaints.

Also, enough parking must be provided so that no cars are parked on the street.

Goodman said they chose 29 days after calculating what would accommodate people who are primary residents, but might rent their property out on certain weekends to guests. They arrived at the figure by factoring in some of the busiest weekends of the year.

“We looked at the number of busy weekends, where a lot of people come into town for graduation, parents’ weekend, different festivals,” Goodman said. “We came up with the 29 day figure because that would allow people to rent out their

houses for all of these big weekends.”

Janis Whitlock, an Airbnb owner, isn’t someone who would come close to that limit; she maxes out at a few weekends per summer, mostly the more popular ones like Cornell graduation. She said, to her, 29 days seems like a fair number of days to allow unhosted rentals while preventing houses being bought for the sole purpose of renting. She’s elected to keep her rented days low for tax reasons, though she thinks it will be tough for others who like to consistently rent on weekends for supplemental income.

One of the trickier nuances of introducing the policy is, of course, how to actually enforce it. Though penalties are still being discussed, there’s at least a framework be-

ing laid down.

The town could rely only on the tips and complaints of angered neighbors, but that seems untenable and Goodman said they are also considering utilizing third-party companies that specialize in tracking the online marketplace at Airbnb and other short-term rental sites to detect how many days a person has been renting out their home. Those companies, such as Host Compliance, aim to provide municipalities with ways to track “up-tothe-minute listings count from 50 shortterm rental platforms” and offering the “best practice regulatory advice to balance the rights of homeowners with concerns about neighborhood safety and affordable housing.”

Therein lies maybe the best illustration of the balancing act the influx of Airbnb interest in the area has forced upon municipalities. Since, at its core, the town instituting time limits is going to decrease the maximum amount property owners can benefit from their choices with their own houses, especially if they are indeed primary residents of the house but rent on weekends or in the summer enough to meet or breach the 29 day limit.

Those people aren’t necessarily the target of this regulation, Goodman said, though they still may be impacted. The target demographic is people buying homes for the sole purpose of renting them out to a rotating lineup of visitors, turning a profit off a neighborhood.

“One of the other concerns we do have is people who are specifically buying up houses just to use them as short term rentals,” he said. “That’s what our current draft is meant to discourage. By only allowing 29 days, that would really prohibit somebody from buying up a house to use it as a short term rental [...] Those are the ones we have the most problems with, and we’ll see how that goes, and then we’ll consider whether we want other types of regulations for hosted rentals. ” M att Butler

udience members arrived in groups of 4 to 6 every 15 minutes next to the Stewart Park Picnic Pavilion to don our headphones (an MP3 player with earbuds) and receive our casebook, a combo program and set of historic photos (courtesy of Terry Harbin and Ithaca Made Movies). Instructed to begin by facing Cayuga Lake, we were each immersed into about an hour’s travel into Ithaca’s past and a reimagined ‘chapter’ of a missing reel of The Adventures of Beatrix Fairfax.

Immediately fairground style music played, and we were plunged back into a day of movie-making as director/producer Ted Wharton (Eric Brooks) engaged with actress Rose (Darcy Rose); then we were handed off to our narrator (the redoubtable Camilla Schade.)

Essentially a cross between a radio play and a guided walking tour, the play recovers, remembers, or reconceives the past of the ground on which we stood: the days when Stewart Park was still named Renwick Park, and possessed a dance pavilion, a picnic pavilion, a tower, a tea pavilion, a 90-foot pier, a bandstand, a working movie studio and a boathouse. Parts of that storied past remain, others are conjured up in the narration (the tower just a string square pinned to the grass.

The Wharton Brothers (Ted and Leopold) ran a movie studio that produced all manner of genre films, particularly adven-

watchman at the park, is missing.

The story is a lark, an all-out melodrama based on the activities of suffragettes in 1915, as a war looms across the ocean.

Rose’s stern father (Dean Robinson, who also plays affable Archie) is one of several men opposed to giving women the vote.

It was on the ballot in New York that fall, and Rose is a supporter. Kidnappings and peril ensue, much of it occurring around the Cascadilla Boathouse. As audience we are moved along a path that circles the park as the action unfolds.

Jennifer Herzog is a feisty, can-do Beatrice, partnered by Austin Jones as reporter Jimmy in the upbeat style familiar from later sound serials. Rose’s Rose anchors the story, and comes across as staunch, sensible and just a bit romantic.

Carolyn Goelzer adds a bit of spice in a cameo as the famous Pearl White, who does her own stunts. Brooks is an ebullient

ture serials, the best-known being sequels to The Perils of Pauline (The Exploits of Pauline, The Romance of Elaine), starring Pearl White (Lionel Barrymore appeared in some reels, as well as Warner Oland, the original ‘Charlie Chan.’)

Beatrice Fairfax ran 15 episodes, 14 were saved and restored. Fairfax was a real-life person, the first advice columnist (‘Advice to the Lovelorn’), appearing in the Hearst papers. The Whartons spun out adventures featuring a fictional Beatrice played by Grace Darling who would investigate mysteries in the letters she received, with her newspaper colleague Jimmy Barton played by Harry Fox. Writers Katie Marks & Aoise Stratford have seized upon the idea of a ‘Missing Chapter’ in the missing reel, ‘The Night Watchman.’ From this they have fashioned a Fairfax adventure, a play within a play that occupies the majority of the experience.

Samuel Buggeln directed with his accustomed flair, while Norm Scott was responsible for the crucial, evocative sound design.

While The Missing Chapter continues the use of melodrama mixed with promenade of Storm Country, exploring the palimpsest of our local landscape, juxtapositions of now and then, accidents of the surround (Abba karaoke from a company party, flights of geese taking off and landing), it doesn’t retain the tension of that earlier headphone play. Then again, it has a more market-driven purpose, in support of the ongoing Stewart Park renovations.•

CRACKER – OCTOBER 5

Cracker has been described as nearly everything in the kitchen sink since its inception almost three decades ago. From alternative rock to Americana, to insurgent country to punk and classic rock, Cracker has produced golden records and cultivated a global audience regardless of whatever genre has been thrown at them. Founding members David Lowery and Johnny Hickman lead the quintet along with Bryan Howard, CoCo Owens and Matt Stoessel.

Marshal said that having a band from the 1990s performing at the Center for the Arts is important because music from that decade is underserved in upstate New York.

He also mentioned the band made one unusual request prior to booking the gig.

“They have a strange request in that they will be playing the equipment of the opening act,” he said. “They have very specific equipment requirements, and one of those requirements is that it’s from a local or regional group.”

PAULA COLE – OCTOBER 18

Primarily known for being a Grammyaward-winning pop musician, Paula Cole will be performing a selection of ballads she recently released when she returns to the Center for the Arts for another time.

The selection of ballads features tunes from American jazz and folk classics from the 1930s to the 1960s. The collection is dedicated to her father, Jim Cole, who also was a vocalist.

DAVE MASON – NOVEMBER 7

Dave Mason first gained notoriety with the band Traffic, who he authored the legendary rock song “Feelin’ Alright” for in 1969. That same year, Mason set off on establishing a career as a solo guitar player, a career that would land him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. An incredible songwriter, Mason churned out five gold albums and one platinum album in “Let It Flow,” which contains the top-ten single “We Just Disagree.”

STEPHEN MARLEY – NOVEMBER 11

One of the sons of music legend Bob Marley, Stephen Marley will be bring his reggae beats to the Center for the Arts this fall. Born in 1972, Stephen first began performing in 1979 with the Melody Makers, which was a band featuring himself on vocals, guitar and drums, his brother Ziggy on vocals and guitar and his sisters Cedella and Sharon on vocals. The group would win Grammys in 1988 and 1997 for “Best Reggae Recording” for “Conscious Party” and “Best Reggae Album” for “Fallen is Babylon.”

Stephen also won two Grammys with his brother Damian for “Best Reggae Album” in 2001 for “Halfway Tree” and 2005 for “Welcome to Jamrock.” In 2007, Stephen launched his solo career with his album “Mind Control,” which would win a Grammy that year for “Best Reggae Album.” He would go on to win two more Grammys in the same category as a solo artist.

THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS – NOVEMBER 14

The quintet has proven since it first formed in 2005 to not only be a staple in the bluegrass community, but also a catalyst in expanding the genre according to its critics. The band includes Andy Hall playing the dobro – a resonator guitar –, Andy Falco on the guitar, Chris Pandolfi on the banjo, Jeremy Garrett on the fiddle and Travis Brook plucking away at the double bass. Last year, the Infamous Stringdusters took home the Grammy for “Best Bluegrass Album” for their release of Laws of Gravity.

SHEMEKIA COPELAND – NOVEMBER 16

Shemekia Copeland returns to the Center for the Arts with her bluesy soulful voice. The daughter of blues guitarist and vocalist Johnny Copeland, Shemekia first performed publicly at the age of 10 and signed her first recording contract when she was 19-years-old. Since then, she has developed into one of the top blues artists.

She owns nine albums in the Billboard Top Blues Album list, including her most recent album from August of 2018 “America’s Child,” which ranks third. •

NIKKI GREEN

The vegan-friendly downtown restaurant satisfies

By He nr y Stark

The brightly-lit interior of Nikki Green fits into the healthy, vegan-centric theme the restaurant’s menu strives for. (Photo by Casey Martin)

W

ere you wondering: Who is the Nikki Green the new State Street restaurant is named after? I was. Turns out it’s no one. According to a key member of the staff, Nikki is the sister of Jacky the owner and Jacky has a strong connection to the environment and sustainability – thus, the “Green”. The story goes that Jacky, a Cornell graduate

from California, was disappointed that her sister, Nikki, wasn’t eating healthy food. To get Nikki to eat healthier, she decided to take great care in preparing attractive and enticing greens-based food at home. Since it worked for her sister, Jacky thought it might work for the public as well. Et voila!

Nikki Green officially opened in February.

To add to the green theme of the

restaurant, all the dishes and cutlery are compostable, and a large convenient receptacle is provided. All the food served here is suitable for vegans and although the restaurant is not certified Gluten Free, no gluten is used in the kitchen. Most of the food is procured from local sustainable farmers who are named on the menu.

Speaking of the dining room, there are only about two dozen chairs and during peak periods the queue for services stretches outside. If the eating area is full, you’re required to find public seating on the nearby Commons.

Location is a problem, for the moment: The establishment is currently located adjacent to a couple of major construction projects, and in any case, it’s not easy to find if you don’t know where you’re going.

It’s the last commercial location east of the Commons on State Street.

When you order, and receive, your food, it’s obvious that presentation is important.

There are two major categories: Savory Bowls (four choices) and Sweet Bowls (five choices). The “Bowls” of food that come from the open kitchen are very attractively put together. I found myself staring at the “Beetbox Bowl” from the Savory section the other day and noticing that I was reluctant to plunge my plastic fork into the symmetrical offering of radishes and mashed potatoes that encircled the top.

Once I summoned the necessary courage I discovered that it included a combination of hot and cold food. At first that was disconcerting, however I enjoyed the variety of tastes, textures, and temperatures.

Among the ingredients in the bowl were bits of cauliflower, roasted mushrooms, purple cabbage, and zucchini noodles and everything was dressed in a tahini lemon beetroot concoction. It wasn’t overly seasoned - some might think, that for all the ingredients, it was on the bland side, however I enjoyed it.

In the “Sweet Bowls” section I’ve enjoyed the “Classic Acai Bowl.” These bowls all cost $10 which is expensive for a classic dessert but not for these ample cardboard dishes filled with interesting ingredients.

The acai bowl, for example, comes with a sherbet-type base made from blended frozen mangoes and acai berries. There are also sliced bananas and, for texture and crunch, some chopped cashews and granola. I let it serve as my entrée and was totally satiated.

Incidentally, the bowls here are not what you’ll find in some Asian-style establishments with noodles swimming in a lot of broth. These bowls are composed of solid food. There are two sizes, medium ($11) and large ($13). I’m not a small person and found the medium portion plenty to eat. If you choose to take food home, you’ll use the same bowl that you started with and staff will simply fit a snap top lid onto it.

The same menu is offered continuously, seven days/week from 11AM-9PM. Although I’m an omnivore, I enjoy the interesting combinations offered at Nikki Green. It’s obvious that great care is taken to ensure a happy and healthy experience for its customers. •
