TOMPKINS COUNTY PREPARES TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: "Last summer
the Tompkins County Legislature committed to a 20% reduction in greenhouse
gases produced by the government's buildings & vehicles. A 2001 study
reported that 1.2 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions are attributable
to the entire Tompkins County community. County government's portion is
estimated at 6,849 tons, or 0.5 percent of the total.
---"Taitum Engineering (accepts HOURS) suggested a variety of improvements
in lighting, ventilation, & temperature controls at little or no cost.
More energy can be saved by operating heating or cooling systems only
during hours of business. Sealing air leaks & adding insulation to various
buildings will also help conserve energy. The only big-ticket item the
Taitum Engineering report recommends is a $428,000 project to install more
energy-efficient lighting. This investment would reach payback in 5 years.
---"About 10 percent of the County's greenhouse gases come from its vehicle
fleet. The emissions reduction plan recommends keeping the fleet up-to-date
& well-maintained, reducing use, & purchasing fuel efficient or clean
energy vehicles in the future." --Heather Filiberto 274-5560

ITHACAN MAURA STEPHENS REPORTS FROM BAGHDAD: "Everything here is such a
paradox. One person will tell us passionately that he is so happy that
Saddam is gone; the next will say that things were better under Saddam.
Some people profess to love the Americans; others swear revenge on
Americans. It is hard to find truth -- or more accurately, it is hard to
sort through such a variety of truths.
---"Please also start collecting vitamins & medicines, as well as
textbooks, encyclopedias, & dictionaries -- everything is needed
desperately here. It looks like we will be able to make some shipments
back here soon. We have given out all the items we brought, & every day we
are meeting more people in desperate need. The vitamins especially are
needed. We visited the University of Mosul yesterday. Not a thing
remains. All the computers, books, even the ceiling light fixtures were
looted. There are only ancient wooden desks & chalkboards remaining. What
a tragedy! The language labs in the language & translations departments
were completely gutted. There isn't an audio tape in the place. We would
like especially to help resupply these labs-- so old French or English
language textbooks, audiotapes or CDs of language lessons are valuable. We
are well & trying to stay away from the guys with the guns. And trying to
stay cool." --Maura Stephens & George Sapio

YOUR LETTERS
"Thanks a great deal for publishing the second permaculture network
potluck. We had a great turnout, about 50 people, from so many different
backgrounds." -- Michael Burns
--------
"Last time I was at Wegmans in the rain, I noticed that the parking lot
slopes right into the inlet without even a curb to stop the runoff. The
runoff carries oil & other leaked car fluids directly into the Inlet. Even
the Widewaters project has a 'berm' to stop such runoff, & Wegmans should
too. Let them know you want them to solve this problem!" --Evan
--------
"Thanks Glen, for voicing a concern about censorship [at Hollywood Video]
(June #2); I strongly agree. Seeing only part of a film, & not knowing
what I am missing, is very frustrating. It is also insulting to the
artists who made the film. I didn't realize Hollywood Video had censored
a film I had rented until I got home, too late to reject it. As long as
films are properly rated or described, I reject censorship of any kind.
---"Motivated by your complaint, I am going to write to their management
(Hollywood Entertainment Corporation, 9275 SW Peyton Lane, Wilsonville, OR
97070) & complain. Other contact info for the mega-business is
503-570-1600, Fax: 503-570-1680 [email protected]; Guest Relations
(what ever that is) [email protected] 1-877-325-8687.
---"In the meantime, there is Collegetown Video on Dryden Rd., &, while I
much prefer to shop locally, increasing number of mail order rental
businesses for DVDs. So there are some alternatives & we do have leverage
with Hollywood." --Todd M.
--------
"Still lovin' the ICN. Great work! Just a quick response to the message
about boycotting Hollywood Video. I totally agree with the sentiment and
personally have done all I can to never set foot in that store. When in
need of videos, I either drive up to East Hill to visit Video Ithaca, walk
up to Collegetown to visit Collegetown Video (which happens to have the
best selection of DVDs in town BTW) or simply visit the library on a
Wednesday when the selection is still good. It certainly takes some
forethought to avoid Hollywood when a last minute urge for a movie strikes
but I think it's worth the satisfaction of not supporting them. Now that I
know about their ridiculous censorship policies, I'm even more determined
not to ever go there. I would completely support a full fledged boycott!
Where do we begin??" --Natasha
--------
"I liked your piece about a trolley system in Ithaca. I found it to be quite a good
read. I was skeptical, & maybe still am skeptical, that it could become a
reality here. But after spending a week in San Francisco, without a rental
car, my girlfriend & I both really came to appreciate not having to drive.
The time spent traveling was longer than if we had brought a car, but it
was well worth it.
---"Upon returning home, we both dreaded the return to our inadequate bus
system, & our nearly exclusive car usage. Ithaca isn't quite
bicycle-friendly yet, & much of it will never be due to the hills, so
biking is more of a novelty than a true transportation method for us.
---"Do you have any upcoming plans for the promotion of alternatives to
cars in Ithaca?
---"I'd really like to see something better in place, starting with more
bike routes, more bus routes, electric buses, & perhaps even a trolley. It
is certainly a noble goal." --Chris Yokum
---[REPLY] Installation of bike lanes will first require replacement of
certain City Hall department heads. The Ithaca Downtown Partnership seeks
funding for a study of trolley feasibility. Deliberately making Ithaca
less convenient for cars, while making alternatives safer & easier, will
cause change.
--------
"Wondering if you would add this link www.letterboxing.org to
promote letterboxing in the next issue? It's a great pastime for all ages
that gets you outside enjoying our beautiful area. All you need are the
clues & a stamp. There are a number of letterboxes hidden throughout the
Finger Lakes but we could use more ramblers out there leading us to other
out of the way spots!" --Amy Rand
--------
"Please, please, please sign me up to receive the Ithaca Community News! I
was a student here in the early 90s, & have returned for good very
gratefully. I'm so excited to be a part of this community again. I
wouldn't live anywhere else." --Kerry A. Barnes
--------
[Dan Cogan replies to Mark re: cable franchise] "Actually, Time Warner does
not have a monopoly. Any other cable provider is free to come to Tompkins
County, apply for a cable franchise, & if so awarded, string or bury cable
in order to provide alternative cable service to residents of the County.
Of course, we both know that the barriers to entering the market are so
great, that it is unlikely another company would try to do that; maybe in
NYC, but not in Ithaca, NY. I did want to correct your assertion, however,
that in granting Time Warner a cable franchise, Common Council granted them
a monopoly.
---"The issues you raised, & many that you did not, came up in our
deliberations. It was because Time Warner seemed so unwilling to give more
than they were offering that I voted along with 4 other Common Council
members not to approve the franchise application that had been negotiated
w/ Time Warner. The mayor broke the tie in favor of approval.
---"It is interesting to note that the representatives from the Public
Service Commission who were in town for our deliberations opined that the
franchise agreement the city had negotiated was one of the best they have
seen in recent years. This is because changes in federal laws have
severely restricted what communities may require from cable providers. We
CANNOT require specific programming. We CANNOT require that they provide
cable access studio free of charge. We did negotiate an Institutional
Network, which by most accounts is quite an accomplishment.
---"It makes sense that people would be angry at the local government for
poor service by a local cable provider. But it is important to look at it
in the context of telecommunications law in 2003." --Dan Cogan
--------
"About six years ago I was in an Australian pub in Bradenton, Florida late
in the evening having overpriced beer when I encountered a friend with a
6-week-old puppy, a sickly runt of a purebred litter who he was unable to
sell. He explained that the dog, an American pitbull, was going to be put
down the next day when surrendered to the SPCA.
---"The next morning my hangover brought to me the realization that I had
too much beer...and the puppy whining on the floor brought me to the
realization that I had had WAY too much beer.
---"That is how I ended up with my best friend, Platter. Sadly, I am forced
to part with my companion of six years at this time & am desperately
seeking a new & great home for my buddy. She is a purebred American
pitbull-- about 70 pounds-- who needs a home where she will be a single
pet. Her tail & ears are natural & have not been clipped (she resembles a
boxer more than a pitbull). She is an extremely personable & lovable pet
who adores people.
---"She is current on all shots & healthy. I am willing to pay all future
medical costs for the dog as well as for food & supplies. A kennel, toys &
food would accompany her to her new home as well.
---"Please call 277-3868 or [email protected] --Deidra Cross

"Just have to wax enthusiastic about Turback's being back again. We went
there for dinner the other night, & the food was fantastic, the prices
reasonable, & the service excellent. It has the same wonderful atmosphere
you remember, & best of all, its ongoing dedication to featuring
ingredients grown and/or produced in New York state. If you haven't been
yet, go spend a beautiful summer evening there soon." --Karen Chimento
--------
"I just read the latest "COMMUNITY NEWS" & wanted to thank you. You are
one of the people I most admire in Ithaca for all you do for us both
practically & in raising & keeping our consciousness focused 'rightly.' I
am feeling much gratitude about having you in my town. With tremendous
appreciation," --Eddie Lisbe
--------
"[Re: Green Party presidential candidate?] Are you nuts? Yeah, sure. Go
ahead & do this [run a Green presidential campaign]. Then we'll ALL end up
living in Dallas!" --Larry Stinely
---[REPLY] According to election 2000 exit polls, Gore would have lost the
popular vote without Nader in the race. So also says Al From, the
president of Clinton/Gore's Democratic Leadership Council: "The assertion
that Nader's marginal vote hurt Gore is not borne out by polling data.
When exit pollers asked voters how they would have voted in a two-way race,
Bush actually won by a point." Gore was spoiled by his own indifferent
campaign. The Green Party online primary takes place until 7/22:
www.iswitched.org You can vote for Kucinich, but he's going to bail
out to run for Senate.

"Hey, thanks for the continued news. Does Ithaca need a bicycle factory? I
t might create a few jobs & produce a necessary product. Perhaps we could
sell them in China as well. Good luck on your presidential bid. " --Paul Holloway

groceries & kids.
