HUNDREDS OF ITHACA ORGANIZATIONS
HUNDREDS OF CORNELL STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS: non-students welcome at most
meetings.
BALLROOM DANCE AT 2:30AM: Two students saw a 'beautiful woman' on the Commons. He said, "Wow, that's a beautiful dress," got on his knee & asked her to dance, even though he didn't know how. She showed him how to dance, in deep snow.
ITHACANS LEAVING FOR CANADA: "It's a heart-breaker. We love Ithaca," says Katie Quinn-Jacobs. She & husband bought a farm 11/19. They have three boys, oldest 15, & are not waiting for the military draft to take them. "We enrolled voters, wrote letters, went to demonstrations & vigils, but now foresee things getting worse." ---They intend to start a model eco-homestead. They find Canadians more open to diverse views, & more aware of what's happening here than Americans are. "The horse is more aware of the rider than the rider the horse," says Dave Quinn-Jacobs. And they know others here who may move with them.

ITHACA PARENTS AGAINST COMMERCIALISM IN SCHOOLS (Ithacapacs)
"Recently commercialism in our public school system has become an issue.
Large corporations are eyeing our children as future consumers & preparing
to make them loyal and frequent shoppers. We have formed a coalition of
parents from the Ithaca community to seek policy in the school district to
address this issue. ithacapacs.blogspot.com Anna Haverlock 272-3164

---In February, PACS began an investigation into the planned distribution
of the "Take A Video Home Weekend" preview & purchase opportunity through
Caroline Elementary School to be brought home in the backpacks of school
children on 2/4/05. The video is supplied by Characterade, a division of
the privately held for profit company Feature Films For Families. The
Characterade video sells for $10.00 & is a direct sale for a private
corporation that has no connection to a fundraising event.
---"Charaterade is a marketing division that distributes films produced by
Feature Films For Families to children through the school system. PACS is
concerned about the ICSD endorsement of products & the messages those
products might carry. Parents have asked the School Board to examine
profit making sales through the public school system & consider appropriate policy development."

ITHACA LABOR NEWS
"If Wal-Mart can start people at $9/hour elsewhere, why is it $6.50 here?
Please support our Wal-Mart living wage campaign
walmartlivingwage.net by signing our petition:
---"Whereas a living wage in Tompkins County (Ithaca) New York is $17,544
for a single person;
---"Whereas Wal-Mart pays many full-time cashiers and sales associates
between $14,000- $15,000 (some earn less than $13,000!) which is less than
a living wage;
---"Whereas employers paying less than a living wage impose a tax burden on
the community to provide health & other services for low-wage workers;
---Whereas Wal-Mart, with $9,000,000,000 in profit during 2003 alone, is a
company that can afford to do better;
---"Therefore, we, the undersigned residents & friends of the Tompkins
County (Ithaca), New York area, urge Wal-Mart to ensure that all full-time
employees at the Ithaca store are paid no less than a living wage of
$17,544 plus health insurance for the year."

ITHACANS CHARGED FOR POURING THEIR OWN BLOOD RATHER THAN SPILLING OTHERS'
On February 18, Peter DeMott, Clare Grady, Danny Burns, & Teresa Grady,
'the St. Patrick's 4', received a summons to appear in the United States
Federal District Court in Binghamton, on charges of 'conspiracy to impede
an officer of the United States.'
---"This will be the second trial for the four for their act of nonviolent
civil resistance at the local US Army/Marine Recruiting Center on March 17,
2003. After prayer & discernment the four poured their own blood
sacramentally in the vestibule of the center, thereby making visible the
blood that is shed by the work of the center. They went there in the
spirit of nonviolence, knelt in prayer & in no way threatened or used
force.
---"'We can't help but wonder whether the timing of these charges are
politically motivated to stifle dissent & resistance to war making as we
approach the second anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq & the March 19,
2004 international call to action to resist the ongoing wari said Peter De
Mott.
---"'We take note that, as a direct result of our US invasion, over 100,000
Iraqi civilians & 1,600 coalition soldiers have been killed. Wide areas of
Iraq are now contaminated with depleted uranium, poisoning the people in
these areas & the land permanently. While a few people & corporations make
billions from this war, many in our nation are homeless, have no
healthcare, living wage jobs, assurance of social security or adequate
education' said Teresa Grady."
---"Clare Grady stated further that 'we stand by our actions, believing
that they are just, moral, legal, & required as the great crimes of mass
murder, grand theft, & torture are perpetrated in our names.'"

"If you listen to much of the media, by winning the 2004 election, George
Bush & the Republican Party leadership earned a mandate from the American
people. However, a quick perusal of the actual vote totals from the
election tells another story. In the presidential race, Mr. Bush won
50.7% of the vote. For the mathematically challenged, that's a tiny bit
above half. In the 435 races for the House of Representatives, Republican
candidates won even less: 50.1% of the vote. However, they did gain 53.3%
of the seats. If the United States used the same method of
proportional representation that is being used in the Iraqi election, the
Republicans would lose 14 seats, the Democrats would pick up 5 seats &
third-party & independent candidates would hold 10 seats in the House of
Representatives instead of the one they have now. The Senate picture is
even less convincing for the Republicans. Even though they won 18 seats
to the Democrats' 16, Republican candidates won only 46.3% of the vote to
51% for the Democrats. If we combine all the votes in the election for
president & for Congress, less than half were cast for Republican
candidates." --David Wallechinsky

"For your readers trying to decide about energy companies, check out the
Con Ed Solutions dept. of Con Ed. It is a separate sub company that uses
energy only from wind or water sources & no oil...it is at least a solution
for the many who cannot get off of the grid or live in other areas of NY
outside of Ithaca. They have a rebate program & there are no taxes put on
the bill, and your price for energy freezes at the rate you sign up...so it
never will go higher & it only costs 1/2 cent per kilowatt hour more than
regular oil based energy... just type in Con Ed Solutions into google."

"Just a thought for you about municipally controlled electricity. In the
newsletter you mentioned Groton, which years ago dispensed with the
middleman & started purchasing its electricity directly from the supplier.
I once looked into Groton's setup to suggest it for the Town of Dryden. I
dropped the idea when it occurred to me that developers & industries would
be scrambling to build where electricity costs are lower.
---"I think solar power for individual residences & businesses is probably
the best option. Unfortunately, the initial costs are high, & the panels
still aren't powerful enough to work well in cloudy weather. Maybe there
will be a breakthrough in the technology.
---"An option for alternative sources of heat is pellet stoves. One
company makes a multi-fuel stove, the Countryside model, that can burn
either wood pellets or corn (www.magnumfireplace.com). Other good
manufacturers include Harman and QuadraFire, though these two don't make a
multi-fuel stove, just stoves that burn straight corn or a 50-50 mixture of
wood pellets and corn. (Burning corn alone in a stove designed only for
wood pellets would cause problems.)
---"Wood pellets are made from sawdust--much of which would otherwise be
headed for landfills. Agway carries the Dry Creek brand, which uses no
binders but relies on compression to produce the pellets.
---"The air pollution from wood pellets and corn is extremely low--a big
advantage over traditional wood stoves. And all the stoves save money on
fuel bills in addition to being more friendly to the environment than most
sources of energy. Local dealers of stoves are Holy Smoke and Hearth &
Home. A major out-of-town dealer is Tall Pines Farm near Montrose, Pa." --B. H.

"I have a subject which I thought you might be interested in printing in
your Ithaca Community News (which I have subscribed to since 2002 & love
reading!)
---"I am editor of the IHS student newspaper, the Tattler. After a semester
of criticizing our new Principal, the ICSD has now decided to censor us. We
sat through three hours of meetings last week where they intimidated,
insulted, & threatened us. This sets a very, very dangerous precedent for
freedom of the press at IHS--especially this year, when the Tattler has
been bigger (a 28 page issue every month) & better than ever. Anyone who
would like to help support us should contact myself at [email protected]
---"We've criticized him for being unresponsive & dictatorial. He has a
fancy resume, & the way he has acted so far this year implies that he is
more interested in bettering himself than bettering theschool.
---"The meeting was actually two meetings, both scheduled for us (we were
told to be there). In the first one, the Principals of Boynton & Caroline
complained for a half-hour about how they had repeatedly been offended by
the Tattler this year. It was hard to tell what exactly they were mad
about, because they kept changing their arguments & positions. But what
right do the principals of Boynton & Caroline have to schedule a meeting
with us (without our input) & berate us? The idea seemed to be that they
would intimidate us into believing that everyone hated the Tattler, & that
would make us more responsive to what came next.
---"Then they left, & the (IHS) principal & one of the Assistant
Superintendents walked in & informed us that, in consultation with the
district lawyers, they had prepared a policy to run the Tattler. They did
not involve us in the drafting of the policy, nor are they letting us make
suggestions for revision. We were told that this was what was happening &
that we had no say. It's an armed takeover of the Tattler by the ICSD.
---"In addition to the censorship, this policy also gives a substantial
amount of power to the advisor, who, in the past, has acted solely in an
'advisory' capacity. This new policy would give her the final say & put the
editors in the 'advisory' capacity. It would completely destroy the freedom
we have had in the past. The Student Press Law Center
has a lot of information." --Andrew Alexander [email protected] News
