OLDEST COMPUTER CONTEST
The oldest Mac or PC currently in use in Tompkins County is an IBM 8088 (c.
1981) owned by Heather Dunbar. Here's her secret to making so old a
machine useful: "Although we also have a newer, faster machine as well, we
use our 8088 for a number of functions and with Lynx software you can
actually use it for e-mail and surfing the net."
---The HP-97 submitted by Richard Furnas deserves honorable mention as a
machine still in use from 1977 (manufactured 1976-1982) but it doesn't
quite make it as a PC-- it's a glorified calculator. See
HP Museum
---Thanks to Scott McCasland [ace computer
troubleshooter] for reviewing the dozen entries. He thanks Ted Sobel &
Keith Rice & Josh O'connor for their help.

WAKE UP, AMERICA! Stewart Park's quiet woods were rocked by the shouts and cackles of Bicycling Vegan Pagans on May Day. After clearing a skunk cabbage battlefield and garlanding trees with gaudy quilts, they feasted on a seitan boar's head with tofu brains, got tilted by red wine, then jousted with giant Q-tips and pikes tipped with stuffed animals. They leapt from trees and smashed a pinata capitalist.

"With reference to the lack of Ithaca Journal's coverage of [Michael]
Moore's packed house talk: I called the IJ the next day w/queries as to
why the Moore appearance w/its couple thousand folks attraction received a

(which stated a few people attended)accompanied w/a photo, and another
article the next day. (Later research revealed only two people attended
the IJ sheriff forum.)

"I was a member of the Cooperative Consumers Society, the other [Ithaca]
co-op, which used to run a grocery operation from the 30's until it folded
in the late 70's. I was a player in the effort to reorganize that co-op
when it ran into trouble. I tried very hard to get the organization to take
a principled stand in favor of nutritious foods, especially
locally-produced ones. The resistance insisted that 'you have to have
everything.' In trying to carry everything, there was little to
distinguish the co-op from an ordinary supermarket, except of course for
the ownership. That is not enough of a difference to generate much
enthusiasm or loyalty, and the half-hearted effort to diversify into more
healthy fare failed. Greenstar's appeal lies in its difference, and in the
fact that that difference has a strongly progressive root. To sustain that
difference, the members have to care enough to defend it. The kind of
debate taking place is a very good sign." --Joel Gagnon

"The Six-Point Plan is really a two-point plan to get traffic off Albany,
where Steve Ehrhardt lives. He has been pushing for the Spencer and Plain
prongs for years. There's a case that can made for the bridge (share the
burden), but Spencer is indefensible. It's not burden sharing, it's
destroying a neighborhood to make it an arterial, the very thing that Steve
doesn't want done to him. So much for the Golden Rule. He would not want to
be told "you don't like the traffic? Then move!" And indeed, he shouldn't
be forced to move because of excessive traffic. Yet he is willing to
literally force Spencer Street residents to move, through eminent domain,
and to dump a quantity of traffic onto the widenedstreet that he recognizes
as unliveable. And then call it "win-win."
---"I hope that the progressive community (hell, everybody!) will vocally
oppose this one. What's being done to Spencer Street residents is truly
reprehensible, and they are so alone. But it's important to oppose Spencer
plans altogether: the 'lowest impact' version will still take off the
Dahl's porch and leave them right up against a super-busy road (in a house
whose value would plummet), which is why they'd rather move than have this
happen. (NOT the same thing as 'wanting to have their house taken,' as
Mayor Cohen suggested.)" --Jim Houghton

"Your gross oversimplification of the Willard Straight Takeover (1969)
included the story that the black students took over the Straight carrying
rifles. The firearms were brought in to protect the protestors after they
fought off repeated vigilante attacks and the observed loading of arsenals
of weapons in fraternity members cars . The weapons (mostly shotguns
rather than rifles) were necessary to ensure the safe passage of the
students as they emerged. You didn't realize how close Cornell came to
being a precursor to Kent State as far as the shedding of protestor's
blood. Perhaps you have just taken the apologists (white) version of the
news. In retrospect, thanks for even mentioning the event." --Charlie

violence.

ITHACA WAR & PEACE REPORT
MARCH IN D.C: "This past April 20 & 21, over 120 Ithacans, and 75,000
others from all over the country, massed in Washington D.C. The protests
of this late April weekend, which also targeted U.S. support of
para-military death squads in Colombia, and U.S. economic hegemony through
the World Bank and I.M.F., were three or four times as large as the
previous anti "War on Terrorism" march in D.C.
---Ithaca's own daily newspaper... managed to downgrade or conceal the
entire event (I.J. 4/22) Their strategy was to focus solely on the smaller
Sunday event as "not filling a city block", and to make no mention at all
of the scale of the Saturday event. This, despite police estimates of
75,000 (Washington Post 4/21)." --David Galezo

THE PEOPLE VS. CITY HALL
[FOUR-POINT] TRAFFIC PLAN by Catharine Robertson & David Gallahan
---"The city approved the Six Point Traffic Plan in December, days before
new Council members were due in office. One week later, continuing the
momentum of politically motivated haste, the city awarded a contract for
design of the Plain Street bridge. The city also bonded approximately $14
million for just two of the six projects in the Plan. NYS and Ithaca law
require that full assessment of a project's impacts be done before
thedecision-making process-or funding-takes place.
---"Proponents of this Plan have run roughshod over residents in the
Southwest of the city. Lauri Dahl, Spencer Street homeowner, found out her
house was slated for destruction when she saw its photo in the paper. An
elderly Spencer Street renter living on fixed income was told by her
Council rep, in response to the renter's concerns, 'move.' The head of the
Planning Department, in response to Council members' questions about a
possiblysegmented environmental review, said in the 12/5 Council meeting,
'I don't really understand segmentation either.' Later that night, the Plan
was nevertheless adopted.
---"A lawsuit seeking to overturn Common Council's adoption of the Plan and
the awarding of the Plain Street bridge design contract is underway. The
city has already bonded for 91% of its capital projects limit, lessening
the likelihood that anything beyond the Plain Street bridge and West
Spencer Street projects will ever be completed.
---"We need your help. Without donations, this suit won't be able to
continue. This is a grassroots-initiated, citizen-funded suit coming from
one of Ithaca's poorest neighborhoods. Area residents are angry and
downtrodden and giving what they can, but we need more."

---"The suit focuses on land use issues, particularly the City allowing
Widewaters to use parkland for treatment of parking lot runoff and granting
them rights to use other parts of the new Southwest natural area for
unspecified purposes.
---"We lost our case in the lowest New York court in a ruling that sets a
bad precedent. Therefore, we are appealing to the next higher level court.
