local author and columnist.
Richie Moran, of Ithaca, is a legend
in the world of lacrosse and in this com-

who coached Cornell Uni-

championships in the

working for the Cornell
Gay Athletics Department,

felt about grandparents he had never
met, and also because of the enjoyment
he felt interacting with his own grand-
children, Richie decided last summer to
buckle down and finish his story. That
was when he realized he needed help
from an actual writer, and knew to look
no further than his friend Steve.
Over the next several months, the
two would meet, with Steve asking the
questions and Richie providing the
answers that would bring the book to
life.
“It’s Great to be Here” is Richie’s
autobiography, a 350-page story that
Steve says “takes readers on a journey
from Richie’s birth during the Great
Depression to his years as an elite play-
er and revered coach, to his lifetime of
connecting with people in ways that
only he can, and I am honored to have
been asked to co-author this book.”
A combined book signing and 80th
birthday party for Richie will be held
from 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Cornell’s
Moakley House, 215 Warren Road.

ALBANY - The number of school

districts facing fiscal stress dropped to
its lowest level last year since the state
Comptroller’s Office began tracking it
four years ago, according to a report re-

A total of 59 school districts across
the state — or 9 percent — faced some
level of budgetary stress during the
2015-16 school year, with just two dis-
tricts showing “significant” stress, the
report from Comptroller Thomas Di-
Napoli showed.
It marked a significant drop from
the previous school year, when 82 dis-
tricts — or 12 percent — showed fiscal
stress.

O B I T UA R I E S
Corson , Nellie Elizabeth
Griswold
Nellie Elizabeth Griswold
Corson died on January
23, 2017 at her residence
in Ithaca, New York at
the age of 102. She was
predeceased in 2012 by
her beloved husband of 74
years, Dale R. Corson.
Nellie was born in
December 1914 in Caldwell, Kansas, a small town
near the Oklahoma border, to Walter and Hettie
Griswold, who instilled in her the importance of
family and a sense of responsibility to those around
her. In high school she played the violin, debated,
edited the school paper, and graduated as her class
valedictorian, all while helping her father with his
real estate and insurance business.
Nellie attended the College of Emporia in
Emporia, Kansas, where she majored in English
and psychology, graduating magna cum laude in
1935. During her freshman year she met her future
husband, Dale Corson, also a small town Kansas
native.
Following graduation, Nellie returned to Caldwell
to help her mother care for her ill father and
grandmother. During that 3-year period, while Dale
pursued his PhD in Physics at the University of
California, Berkeley, Nellie taught school in one of
the last one-room schools in rural Kansas.
Nellie and Dale were finally able to marry in Caldwell
in June 1938, and immediately embarked on what
she anticipated as the adventure of lifetime - a trip on
2-lane roads from Kansas to California in a Model
A Ford. That drive was the beginning of a life and
partnership more full and rich than she could ever
have imagined.
Following completion of his post-doctoral work at
Berkeley, Nellie and Dale moved back to the midwest
for Dale to assume his first teaching position at the
University of Missouri. They had barely settled in
before world events intervened, with Dale recruited
to MIT for radar development research, involving
moves to Cambridge, MA, then to Washington,
DC, where their first child, David, was born in
1943. From Washington Nellie and Dale moved
west again, to Los Alamos and Albuquerque, NM.
In 1946, with the war at an end, they finally settled
in Ithaca, New York, where Dale joined the physics
faculty at Cornell University.
Nellie and Dale remained in Ithaca for the rest of
their lives, with Bruce, Richard and Janet joining the
family over the next six years. As was typical of the
day, Nellie took primary responsibility for raising
the four children, while sharing in the communal
parenting of a close-knit group of neighborhood
children. Nellie also engaged in community activities
including the League of Women Voters and PEO,
holding leadership positions with the PTA, Cub
Scouts, Friends of the Library, Sage Hospital
Auxiliary and Campus Club, serving on the Boards
of Ithacare, the Cornell (later Tompkins County)
Public Library, and the Unitarian Church.
As Dale advanced through the academic and
administrative ranks at Cornell, Nellie’s university-
related responsibilities grew along with his, requiring
her to reorder her own priorities. Although she
had never aspired to life as the wife of a university
administrator, she committed herself to being his
active partner in the extensive social responsibilities
and travel associated with his work as Dean, Provost
and President of Cornell. Drawing on her small-town
Kansas heritage, she found passion and purpose
as a friend to new faculty, spouses, retirees, staff,
students and alumni with a forthright, unassuming
manner. She served Cornell by being Dale's steadfast
confidant and essential supporter during the most
turbulent years in the university’s history.
In their later years, Nellie and Dale enjoyed a more
relaxed pace traveling, rediscovering old friends and
engaging in the lives of their grandchildren. They
became founding residents of Kendal at Ithaca,
which Dale had worked to establish as the first
life-care retirement community in New York State.
She adjusted to Dale's death in 2012 and her own
progressively limited capacities with grit and grace.
The Kendal staff became for Nellie an extended
family, offering sensitive and warm care enlivened by
her sweet nature, sense of humor, feisty repartee, and
running commentary on modern dress, hair styles,
and tattoos.
Nellie is survived by her four children: David
(Carolyn Corson) of Ithaca; Bruce (Mary Wyman)
of Sebastopol, California; Richard (Shirl Dorfman)
of Phoenix, Arizona; and Janet (Jon Corson-Rikert)
of Ithaca. She is also survived by six grandchildren:
Catherine Corson (Amherst, MA), Amy Schwartz
(Ithaca, NY), Melissa Wyman (Palo Alto, CA),
Abigail Spencer (Lyons, CO), Tyler Corson-Rikert
(Washington, DC), Hayley Corson-Rikert (Portland,
OR); and eight great-grandchildren: Geoffrey and
Alex Fitz-Gibbon, Madeline Schwartz, Aramaia and
Anika Burns; Wilma, Margot and Harriet Spencer.
The Corson family and Kendal community
celebrated Nellie’s life with her on the occasion of
her 102nd birthday on December 27th, and no public
service is planned. In lieu of flowers, contributions
to the Tompkins County Public Library will be
appreciated.

Leon Lawrence, 74,
of Ithaca, NY, passed
away peacefully on
Friday, January 20, 2017
surrounded by his loving

to Wilbur and Frances
Lawrence. The family
later moved to Peekskill, NY, where Leon spent most
of his childhood and graduated from high school. He
was a veteran of the US Air Force and a graduate of
the University of Vermont (UVM), where he earned
both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
He married Diana Rosiello in 1967 in New York
City. They lived and raised their family in Vermont
for 35 years. Over the course of his career, Leon
worked for IBM, the University of Vermont, and
Cornell University. In July 2016, he became the
Executive Director of Southside Community Center
in Ithaca.
Leon was always ready and eager to help wherever and
whenever he could. He served many communities,
organizations, committees, students, and individuals
throughout his life. He was a very sweet and kind
man. His work was his true passion, and he was
Patti LaBelle’s biggest fan.
Survivors include: his wife of 50 years, Diana; sons
Noel (Lihua), Eric, and Daniel; daughter Gabriella;
sister Betty Kilpatrick (Barry); brothers Robert

State lottery reaps record revenue in 2016

JON CAMPBELL
JCAMPBELL@ITHACAJOURNAL.COM
ALBANY - New York
already had the largest
lottery in the nation. And
it just got bigger.
Revenue from the state
Lottery and its nine race-
tracks with video-lottery
terminals grew nearly 5
percent between 2015 and
2016, state records show.
The increase was
fueled by a $1.5 billion Po-
werball jackpot a year
ago, plus gains in Quick
Draw and instant lottery
games, the records ob-
tained by the USA Today’s
Albany Bureau showed.
New York’s lottery rev-
enue reached a record
$9.8 billion last year, a
nearly $441 million in-
crease from 2015.
Five of the nine so-
called racinos also posted
gains, including Batavia
Downs and Finger Lakes
in western New York and
Empire City at Yonkers
Raceway.
Empire City’s net win
— the amount of money
left in the machines after
pay outs to winners — led
the state, growing nearly
6 percent over the year to
nearly $590 million, the
records showed.
“Empire City is proud
of our growth but takes
nothing for granted,” said
Timothy Rooney Jr., the
track’s general counsel, in
a statement.
Dollar and a dream
Powerball sales soared
77 percent in 2016 to $537
million, while sales of
Quick Draw — which add-
ed bonus payout promo-
tions last year — grew
more than 7 percent.
Overall, lottery games’
sales increased 5 percent,
while the racinos grew
just over 3 percent.
The growth of the lot-
tery and the racinos
comes amid increasing
competition for gambling
revenue in New York and
the region — which sever-
al companies noted.
The state is in the mid-
dle of adding four full-
scale casinos: Tioga
Downs in the Southern
Tier reopened as a full ca-
sino last month, and ones
in Schenectady and the
Finger Lakes are set to
Tioga Downs officially opened its new gambling floor and
poker room on Dec. 2, marking its first day as a full casino.
open next month. One in
the Catskills, Montreign,
is scheduled to open next
year.
Tioga Downs’ net win
fell 4.6 percent last year
before it changed over
from a racino to a casino
in December after receiv-
ing a casino license earli-
er in the year.
The owner, Jeff Gural,
also had a weak year at the
Vernon Downs racino in
central New York amid
expansions by the Oneida
Indian Nation at its near-

and Resort.
More competition
The Oneidas added a
new casino, Yellow Brick
Road, near Syracuse in
preparation of the del La-
go casino opening in the
Finger Lakes, a move that
hurt Vernon Downs, Gu-
ral said.
Gural said Tioga
Downs’ numbers picked
up in December after the
re-opening, leading to
higher gains overall for
the year.
For Vernon Downs,
though, Gural said he’s
asking the state for a bet-
ter tax rate to compete
with the Oneidas, saying
Vernon Downs employs
300 people and supports
the horse racing industry
because of its harness
track.
“Hopefully, we will
succeed this year in get-
ting relief, as it does not
cost the state anything,”
Gural said. “Our custom-
ers are simply going else-
where in the state to gam-
ble, and the state receives
that revenue.”
Last year, the state im-
proved the tax rate for
Finger Lakes because of
the looming opening of del
Lago, and now Finger
Lakes wants help to pay
its expenses to run its
thoroughbred track.
VLT revenue
Finger Lakes finished
the year with its net win
up just over 1.2 percent
compared to 2015, at near-
ly $129 million.
Batavia Downs was up
1.6 percent, to $53.4 mil-
lion.
Hamburg Gaming fell
off 1.3 percent, while Re-
sorts World at Aqueduct
racetrack in Queens —
which brings in the most
revenue in the state —
dropped less than 1 per-
cent to $826 million.
Empire City said the
state should move for-
ward with plans to allow
downstate racinos to open
as full-scale casinos with
table games. Currently,
they have only electronic
table games to go with the
slot-machine-like de-
vices.
In 2013, voters ap-
proved allowing the state
to open up to seven pri-
vately owned casinos. Yet
the state agreed to open
the first four outside the
New York City area.
“Competition is in-
creasing with full-gaming
casinos opening in New
York and more to come in
neighboring states,” Roo-
ney said. “Empire City
looks forward to securing
a full gaming license in
the near future, the eco-
nomic implications of
which are endless both re-
gionally and for all of New
York.”

Governor plans improved
Finger Lakes visitor center
GENEVA - Gov. Andrew Cuomo says
he wants to debut an improved visitor
center in the Finger Lakes by the fall.
The Democratic governor on Tues-
day promoted his state budget proposal
to turn the Geneva visitors’ center into a
state-of-the-art Finger Lakes tourism
hub. The redone visitor center would in-
clude kiosks with videos and directions
to Finger Lakes attractions and a “Taste
NY” gift shop with Finger Lakes wine,
beer, cider and spirits. The center would
include a walk of fame featuring nota-
ble people with ties to the region such as
abolitionist Frederick Douglass, suf-
fragist Susan B. Anthony, and soccer
star Abby Wambach.
Last Howard Johnson’s eatery
up for sale in Lake George
LAKE GEORGE - The site of the last
Howard Johnson’s restaurant in the
United States is up for sale.
Property owner Joe DeSantis con-
firms Wednesday the parcel that in-

George is for sale. He denies reports
that say the orange-roofed eatery along
Route 9 in the southern Adirondacks has
closed, saying he believes the restau-
rant’s operator is running off-season
hours.
DeSantis’ father opened the restau-
rant in 1953. A HoJo’s restaurant in Lake

against your skin can make you scream
in agony. If you’re shutting yourself
off from the outside world, unable to
work or enjoy life...frustrated with the
horrible side effects of the medications
you’ve been taking...now there’s a
natural remedy called Nerve Renew that
can change your life by giving you the
blissful relief you’ve been praying for.
NERVE PAIN IS
TRICKY TO DETECT
Nerve pain is a two-fold problem.
First, it’s not easy for doctors to
recognize. There are so many different
symptoms that they often misdiagnosis
it as fibromyalgia, sciatica, or even
multiple sclerosis.
TODAY’S TREATMENTS
ARE DANGEROUS
“And even when they do, there are
only a few treatment options and all
of them are bad. The only thing your
doctor can do is pump you up with
scary medications like anti-depressants,
anti-convulsants, steroids, or
prescription pain killers that can cause
weight gain, rashes, internal bleeding,
and liver and kidney damage, and even
thoughts of suicide.”
“No wonder many doctors just tell
you to ‘go home and live with it” adds
Mr. Jones.
‘LIFE-CHANGING’
RELIEF ARRIVES DO YOU SUFFER FROM NERVE PAIN?
But now there’s a new Take this Quick Test:
and different drug-free ✓ Numbness and tingling in hands and feet
treatment that gives you ✓ Shooting pain and burning in extremities
real relief, a life-changing ✓ Cramps or spasms
remedy that works wonders ✓ Muscle weakness

✓ Loss of balance or coordination
and mentally. With Nerve
Renew, you’ll wake up ✓ Lack of sleep from pain
happy, energized, and
pain-free so you can enjoy life like never
before. A few ingredients are synthetic
forms of vitamins, but since the product
contains no artificial ingredients, you
can take it with complete confidence for
real peace of mind!
FEEL LIKE
YOURSELF AGAIN
You won’t believe how great you’ll
feel and how fast. Your muscles will
no longer cramp or spasm out of
control. You’ll regain your balance
and coordination and be able to walk
straight as an arrow. Your fingers will
be loose and flexible so you can pick

that was ‘all in your head’ will finally be
gone for good.
NOT AVAILABLE
ANYWHERE ELSE
Unlike other products that use
cheap, inferior ingredients, Nerve
Renew contains 9 proven pain-busting
vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, all
synergistically blended in a one-of-a-
kind formula for maximum purity and
potency.
• An Intense Form of Vitamin-B Called
“Benfotiamine”; which the Journal
of Pharmacology Therapy says has
3.6 times more bioavailability. Which
means it passes through the cell
membrane right into the cell where
it’s needed. And it’s less toxic so you
can take it with confidence.
• Methylcobalamine which clinical
studies show it produces “nerve

regeneration.” In other words, it may
result in the growth of new nerve
cells.
• Proprietary Nerve Soothing
Formulation: Along with vitamins
B2, B6 and D, there’s Oat Straw
Extract which helps smooth itchy
skin, Passion Flower which reduces
stress and anxiety, Skullcap Extract
which calms the central nervous
system, Fever Few Extract which
reduces inflammation. Combined with
vitamins B2, B6, and D, Nerve Renew
is the most complete formula you can
buy.
Nerve Renew ingredients are backed
by over 21 startling studies, including
ones from the National Institute of
Health and the National Library of
Medicine.
TOTAL RELIEF OF
ALL YOUR SYMPTOMS
For so many users, Nerve Renew
gives you complete relief of all your
symptoms. And because it’s drug-free,
it’s 100% safe to use, even if you have a
health condition. Of course, you should
check with your doctor before taking
any new supplement, but there’s no
dependency, dizziness, drowsiness,
headaches or any harmful side effects.
OVER 85,525 PEOPLE ARE
LOVING LIFE AGAIN
Nerve Renew is giving hope of a
great new life to thousands of long-time
sufferers.
Clark Stancil said “I have had severe
Neuropathy for 3 years, and was even
contemplating suicide. I ordered your
Nerve Renew and in only 3 days can see
a significant difference. I’ve never heard
of anything with such good results in
such a short amount of time. I consider
this a medical miracle.”
Barbara Schulthies says “I’m thrilled
and amazed at your formula! After only
3 days, I am almost pain free! (The)
feeling is back in my 3 toes and no
swollen foot.”
Dennis Donoghue comments, “I can
not believe how great I feel from taking
this. You have changed my life. I really
truly thought it was going to be a waste
of money. I just discovered the b1 and
12 you use is really the only healing
forms of that vitamin. Doctors only
prescribe the other form which does
nothing. Thank you so much. This is a
miracle as far as I am concerned. Since
January, I have been on this and my
symptoms have disappeared.”

Susan Rahn of Rochester speaks at a news conference at the
Capitol on Monday, in support of a Medical Aid in Dying Act.
She suffers from breast cancer.
Doctor-assisted
suicide debated
LINDSEY RIBACK
ALBANY BUREAU
ALBANY - The state
Legislature is consider-
ing a law that would al-
low terminally-ill New
Yorkers to self-adminis-
ter medication to aid in
dying.
Democrats again
urged their colleagues
Monday to support the
Medical Aid in Dying Act
after a similar measure
failed to win support last
year.
“I’m going to work as
hard as I can to ensure
that everybody in this
state has all options, in-
cluding this one: the right
to die with dignity,” As-
semblywoman Amy Pau-
lin, D-Scarsdale, West-
chester County, said at a
Capitol news conference.
How it would work
The bill would amend
public health law to pro-
vide mentally compe-
tent, terminally ill New
Yorkers with the right to
decide if they want to end
their lives.
The measure this year
was updated to clarify
the definition of “capaci-
ty” to include adult pa-
tients who can communi-
cate their request to their
physician.
For those who choose
that path, they would be
required to make both an
oral and written request,
the latter of which would
need to be signed and
dated by the patient and
two adult witnesses.
Their attending physi-
cian, consulting physi-
cian or mental health
counselor may not serve
as a witness, lawmakers
said.
Paulin said the bill
was drafted with the as-
sistance of the clergy,
health-care advocates
and community mem-
bers to ensure it has safe-
guards in place to protect
both those asking for the
mediation and those who
are prescribing it.
A mental-health pro-
fessional, for example,
would have to provide a
report on the patient’s ca-
pacity to request aid in
dying.
Personal story

ester spoke at the news

with stage 4 metastatic
breast cancer in 2013 at
age 43.
Since her diagnosis,
Rahn has had two breast
surgeries and the remov-
al of both of her ovaries.
Rahn talked about
wanting to see her 17-
year-old son graduate
from high school in June
and be there for his fu-
ture accomplishments.
But she also talked
about how the pain she
has endured is only the
beginning and considers
the bill as a way to pro-
vide patients with op-
tions, rather than sui-
cide.
“I don’t want to suffo-
cate when the cancer in-
vades my lungs; I don’t
want to starve when the
cancer invades my liver,
and I don’t want to not
recognize my son if the
cancer invades my
brain,” Rahn said.
Issue debated
Julie Farrar, a policy
fellow for the Center for
Disability Rights Inc.,
which has offices across
upstate, contended the
bill doesn’t have enough
protections in place to
prevent wrongdoing, es-
pecially when it comes to
families who may be fi-
nancially incentivized to
end a family member’s
life due to rising medical
costs.
It was unclear wheth-
er the changes to the bill
this year would garner
enough support in the
Republican-led Senate
for it to pass and get sent
to Gov. Andrew Cuomo
for his signature.
Lorrie Leonard, the
executive director of
End of Life Choices New
York, said the bill should
be supported.
“Advances in medical
technology have extend-
ed our life spans, but they
have also caused some
people to be trapped in a
zone of suffering for
their last few weeks, ex-
tending the dying proc-
ess rather than life,”
Leonard said.
Six states allow men-
tally competent, termi-
nally-ill patients to re-
quest a prescription that
would medically aid
them in dying.
They are in Oregon,
Washington, Montana,
Vermont, California and
Colorado, as well as
Washington, D.C.

FAMILY READING CORNER
Books that put a little love in kids’ hearts
MELISSA PERRY
CORRESPONDENT
If there is one thing
the world needs most, es-
pecially right now, it is
love.
Love for our family,
friends and those we
cross paths with in our
daily lives. Love for the
plants and animals of the
Earth, and for the Earth
itself. Love for the oppor-
tunities we have and the
struggles we overcome.
And love for ourselves, so
that we may embrace this
life and radiate our love
to make this world a bet-
ter place.
There are many chil-
dren’s books that explore
and celebrate the topic of
love. Sharing these sto-
ries with children helps
them understand and em-
body the act and feeling
of love so that they, too,
can share it with the
world. These books lend
themselves to wonderful
discussions about love,
kindness and what it
means to care for others.

Puppies safe after crash
KELLY GAMPEL
KGAMPEL@ITHACAJOURNAL
More than 100 puppies
bound for local pet stores
were rescued from an
overturned van on Inter-
state 86 in Steuben Coun-
ty on Tuesday.
State police out of the
Bath barracks responded
to a motor vehicle crash
in the eastbound lane of
I-86 in Avoca at 8:12 a.m.
Thirty-year-old Emily
Woodrum, of Webb City,
Missouri, was transport-
ing 103 dogs in a box van
to local pet stores when
the crash occurred, ac-
cording to police. Woo-
drum was driving at an
unsafe speed while in the
passing lane when she
lost control of the vehicle
and went off the south-
bound shoulder, striking a
ditch before overturning,
according to a news re-
lease.
All of the dogs — of dif-
ferent breeds — were
properly secured in the
vehicle, which was de-
signed for such transport,
police said. None of the
dogs were ejected from
the van.
Troopers Mark Ber-
nard, Jordan Sheehan and
Pete Peters removed the
puppies, and five puppies
that sustained minor inju-
ries were treated by the
Steuben County SPCA,
police said.

they have concluded their

vNew York: Trump ethics
counselors appointed
President Donald Trump and his hotel
and real estate business named ethics
counselors Wednesday, the latest step in
his plan to address conflicts-of-interest
concerns arising from his decision to
maintain financial ties to his company.
Trump selected Washington attorney
Stefan Passantino as his White House
ethics adviser, press secretary Sean Spic-
er said.
The Trump Organization named Bob-

dent George Bush’s re-election campaign
in 1992, as its in-house ethics adviser.
George Sorial will serve as the chief com-
pliance counsel, the company said.
vDenver: Artist Christo
abandons river project
The artist Christo said Wednesday he
has abandoned his plan to drape translu-
cent fabric above portions of Colorado’s
scenic Arkansas River, a proposal that
generated fierce opposition and a long
court battle.
“I no longer wish to wait on the out-
come,” the 81-year-old artist wrote in a
website for the project, called Over the
River. He cited 20 years of planning and
five years of legal fights.
In a story published Wednesday in the
New York Times, he said his decision was
a protest against President Donald
Trump. The project would occupy feder-
al land, and Christo said he did not want
to deal with the Trump administration.
vSomalia: 11 dead, 50
injured in hotel siege
At least 11 were killed and 50 injured
Wednesday as Somali forces ended a
siege by extremist fighters who stormed
a hotel in the capital, police said.
Four al-Shabab attackers also were
killed in the attack on Dayah Hotel,
which is often frequented by govern-
ment officials, said Capt. Mohamed Hus-
sein, a senior police officer. The death
toll may rise, he said.
The assault on the hotel started when
a suicide car bomb exploded at its gates.
A second explosion soon followed.
vRussia: Two arrested in
potential treason case
A top manager for Russia’s largest cy-
bersecurity firm and a senior Russian in-
telligence officer have been arrested on
possible treason charges, the newspaper
Kommersant reported Wednesday.
Kaspersky Lab confirmed the arrest of
Ruslan Stoyanov, head of its computer
incidents investigation unit, the respect-
ed economic newspaper Kommersant
reported. He was reportedly being held
at the Lefortovo prison, a notorious facil-
ity used for political prisoners by the
KGB in the Soviet Union.
Also arrested was Sergei Mikhailov,
described as a senior intelligence officer
with the FSB, which is the successor to
the KGB, the newspaper reported.
vItaly: Avalanche survivor
thought it was a quake
A survivor of an Italian avalanche that
devastated a mountain hotel says she
only learned she had been buried by tons
of snow after she was rescued.
As she coped with hours of darkness
and no word on a rescue, Giorgia Galassi
says she thought she had been trapped
by one of the many earthquakes that rat-
tled central Italy in recent months.
Speaking Wednesday at her parents’
home, Galassi said she never imagined
that an avalanche could have been re-
sponsible for the devastation in the Ho-
tel Rigopiano. “We didn’t know it until
the firefighters told us,” she said. “We
thought the whole time that it was a very
strong earthquake.”
Galassi and her boyfriend Vincenzo
Forti were two of the nine people pulled
out alive after the Jan. 18 avalanche. At
least 25 others died and four remain
missing in the snow and rubble in a
mountain region northeast of Rome.

Trump orders border wall,
penalties on sanctuary cities
Gregory Korte
and David Jackson
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON President Don-
ald Trump signed a series of
immigration-related executive
actions Wednesday, including
efforts to build a wall on the
Mexican border and to clamp
down on so-called “sanctuary
cities” that shield migrants in
the country illegally.
Provisions in a pair of execu-
tive orders include cutting off
federal funding for sanctuary
cities that willingly become
havens for migrants in the
country illegally, as well as ex-
pansion of detention space for
migrants who have been caught
and are being shipped back to
their home countries, White
House spokesman Sean Spicer
said.
The signing ceremony took
place during Trump’s visit to
the Department of Homeland
Security headquarters in
Washington.
Trump previewed the action
in a tweet Tuesday night, say-
ing, “Among many other things,
we will build the wall!”
In an interview with ABC
News, Trump claimed that con-
struction of the wall will begin
“in months,” and that the Unit-
ed States will soon commence
talks with Mexico over his de-
mand that it pay for the struc-
ture — a demand the Mexican
government has consistently
rejected.
“We’ll be reimbursed at a lat-
er date from whatever transac-
tion we make from Mexico,”
Trump told ABC in his first
television interview as presi-
dent. “I’m just telling you there
will be a payment. It will be in a
form, perhaps a complicated
form.”
Trump is scheduled to meet
Tuesday with Mexican Presi-
dent Enrique Pena Nieto.

roles forever touched TV

“His priority is first and fore-

EDITORIAL BOARD
NEILL BOROWSKI, EXECUTIVE EDITOR

ASSOCIATED PRESS
White House press secretary Sean Spicer speaks Saturday at
the White House in Washington.
Trump’s ‘war’
is with the truth
This president lies.
Granted, every president tells the occasional politi-
cally expedient untruth. But this guy is different.
He lies constantly. He lies about relatively unim-
portant things. He lies when the truth can be easily
verified.
None of this comes as a surprise, of
course. It’s been obvious since long
before Donald Trump took the oath of
office on Friday. Still, it is dishearten-
ing to realize that that oath, and the
awesome responsibilities that come
with it, have not changed him in the
least. He still lies as prolifically as
ever.
For instance, in a speech Saturday
Leonard at the CIA, Trump blasted the news
Pitts media for making it “sound like I had a
Commentary feud with the intelligence communi-
ty.” But it wasn’t the news media that
sent out a tweet as recently as Jan. 11 likening the in-
telligence community to Nazi Germany. Did Wolf
Blitzer have a gun to his head or something? No, that
was Trump.
On Monday, in a meeting with congressional lead-
ers, Trump renewed his claim that he would have won
the popular vote in the November election except that
massive fraud cost him millions of ballots. And that’s a
lie, too. There is no — repeat: zip, zilch, zero — evi-
dence to support that claim.
On Saturday, Trump sent press secretary Sean
Spicer storming into the White House briefing room
to berate reporters for reporting — accurately — that
the crowd at Trump’s inauguration was much smaller
than that at President Barack Obama’s first swearing-
in in 2009. Pressed to explain that behavior Sunday on
“Meet the Press,” senior adviser Kellyanne Conway
said something bizarre — “Sean Spicer, our press sec-
retary, gave alternative facts.”
Whereupon, my cousin Kelly called me, sputtering
in disbelief. Kelly, a career prosecutor, wanted to
know if this means he is now free to put untruths into
evidence if he dubs them “alternative facts.”
Meantime, my colleague, Miami Herald cartoonist
Jim Morin tweeted, “I would like to congratulate Hil-
lary Clinton for winning the presidential election and
enacting a progressive agenda for USA. Alternative-
Fact.”
Even Germany’s national railway joined in: “Good
news — 120 percent of our trains are on time today.
alternativefacts”
You’d think Team Trump would learn its lesson, but
there was Spicer the very next day, echoing Conway’s
— ahem — “reasoning.” “Sometimes,” he told report-
ers, “We can disagree with the facts.”
In a word: Argh. Look, you can “disagree” all you
want that two plus two equals four. You may offer to
your heart’s content the “alternative fact” that two
plus two equals rainbow sherbet. None of it changes
the hard reality of what sum is produced when you add
those numbers. Nor can you insist otherwise and ex-
pect anyone with half a brain to take you seriously.
Ask yourself: If we cannot trust these people to tell
us the truth on minor matters that can be easily
checked, what confidence can we have that they will
be square with us on substantive matters where the
truth is not a Google search away? What confidence
can our allies and adversaries have?
The answer is, none. That should scare you.
As should this: Just a few days in, this may already
be the least trustworthy regime in history. Yet last
week, that regime was said to be thinking of evicting
reporters from the White House. And Newt Gingrich
just said press briefings should be open to non-jour-
nalists, i.e., a designated cheering section lobbing
softball questions.
Trump will tell you he has a bad relationship with
reporters because they are “unfair.” He says he’s in a
“running war” with news media. But that’s another lie.
This guy’s “running war” is with the truth.

The real cost of protectionism
When the president speaks of closed factories
scattered like “tombstones” across America, has he
noticed the shuttered stores in shopping centers,
and entire malls reduced to rubble?
He promises “protection” to pre-
vent foreigners from “destroying”
manufacturing jobs by exporting to
America things that Americans want
to import. Does he know that one
American company might be “de-

Richard Warren Sears, Alvah Curtis Roebuck, Aar-
on Montgomery Ward and Sam Walton, all of whom
were constructively disruptive retailers, and were
as important in the nation’s commercial history as
were Henry Ford, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
In 2016, online buying during the holiday season
surged 19 percent over the year before, which is
one factor explaining this: Macy’s, after announcing
in August that it would close another 100 of its re-
maining 730 stores, now says it will shed 10,000
jobs. Sears, which is 13 decades old and still has
1,600 stores, has lost $9 billion in five years, has
closed 500 stores and is closing another 150 (in-
cluding some Kmarts).
Sears stores in American downtowns, and the
Sears catalogue that put downtown goods within
reach of rural America (3 million catalogues were
distributed in 1907, when the nation’s population
was 87 million), caused difficulties for older retail-
ers. In the second half of the 20th century, Walmarts
at the edge of towns caused difficulties for down-
town retailers with pre-modern — meaning pre-
Walmart — global supply chains. Now Amazon is
forcing Walmart to master online retailing.
Although e-commerce was just 8 percent of all
2016 retail sales, it came disproportionately at the
expense of Sears, Macy’s and other “anchor ten-
ants” that draw foot traffic from which other mall
retailers benefit. When Amazon recently announced
that it is going to create 100,000 warehousing and
other jobs in the next 18 months, The New York
Times reported that online retailing “has destroyed
many times that number of positions at malls and
shopping centers across America.”

ITH-LETTERS@ITHACAJOURNAL.COM
The Times quoted specialists’ calculations that
traditional retailers have shed more than 200,000
employees since 2012, and that there are 1.2 million
fewer retail workers than there would be if there
were no online retailers. But Henry Ford, too, “de-
stroyed” lots of jobs — those of blacksmiths, buggy
makers, etc. — the holders of which moved on, and
usually up.
Writing at MarketWatch, Rex Nutting argues that
as Amazon revolutionizes consumer behavior, it “is
going to destroy more American jobs than China ever
did.” If so, the “problem” is productivity. Nutting
says “Amazon needs about half as many workers to
sell $100 worth of merchandise as Macy’s does.” The
Times reports that “the typical online retailer gener-
ates $1,267,000 in sales per employee versus $279,000
at bricks-and-mortar stores.
All of which raises a question: Why should manu-
facturing jobs lost to foreign competition be privi-
leged by protectionist policies in ways that jobs lost
to domestic competition are not? When an Applebee’s
or Olive Garden, powered by a national advertising
budget, opens next to, and causes the closing of,
Madge’s Diner, why does Madge not merit protec-
tion? Or the Trade Adjustment Assistance that is
available for workers, firms, farmers, even commu-
nities that can plausibly claim to have been otherwise
injured by foreign competition or outsourcing of
jobs?
The reason is this: Domestic protection of Madge
and millions of others unsettled by the constant
churning of a dynamic domestic economy would
mean slow economic growth — and rapid growth of
government as it regulates consumers’ choices and
their consequences. But protection from imports also
means this.
Reactionary liberalism has long held, and today’s
faux conservatism agrees, that existing jobs should
be protected by policies that reduce the economic
dynamism that threatens those jobs. Such protection
means a net decrease in jobs but an increase in the
self-esteem of blinkered protectionists who see the
jobs “saved” but not those which, as a result of lost
dynamism, are lost or never created.
Macy’s flagship Manhattan store was one reason
Gimbels’ nearby flagship closed, after 76 years, in
1986. This, even though in 1945 Gimbels had been
America’s first merchant to offer “a fantastic, atomic
era, miraculous pen.” It was a ballpoint.
Will the winner of the once-famous Macy’s versus
Gimbels rivalry always be with us? Probably not,
which is probably good.

JOHN HIATT, LYLE LOVETT TEAM UP FOR ACOUSTIC CONCERT AT STATE THEATRE
P R E V I E W, P A G E 2
THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 2017
Lovett, Hiatt renew musical partnership
Concert
Sunday at
State Theatre
JIM CATALANO
CORRESPONDENT

Two of the country’s top

singer-songwriters, Lyle
Lovett and John Hiatt, will
return to the State Theatre
of Ithaca on Sunday to swap
stories and play songs from
their vast catalogs in an
acoustic duo setting.
Lovett, who hails from
Texas, has drawn on the
Lone Star State’s Western
swing traditions for his
recordings with His Large
Band. But he also integrates
folk, blues and other rootsy
influences into his songs,
which he sings in his dis-
tinctive voice.
Hiatt, a native of Indiana
who has lived in Nashville
since 1971, has gained rec-
ognition both through his

ple’s renditions of his songs,
including Three Dog Night
(”Sure As I’m Sitting
Here”), Bonnie Raitt
(”Thing Called Love”), Lin-
da Ronstadt (”When We
Ran”), Buddy Guy (”Feels
Like Rain”) and Jeff Healey
(”Angel Eyes”).
Lovett and Hiatt first
performed together at the
State in February 2008, and
have each performed to-
gether or separately sever-
al times in Ithaca in the
ensuing years. To preview
this weekend’s show, Hiatt
recently spoke from his
home in Nashville.
Q: What do you like
best about doing these
duo shows with Lyle?
HIATT: Because it’s so

unplanned, and Lyle’s fun-
ny. It’s a lot of fun to go
back and forth. I love hear-
ing Lyle in that setting, with
just guitar and vocal. He’s
such a great songwriter and
great singer; I think it’s my
favorite way to hear him.
Q: It seems like Lyle
asks most of the questions
during the night. But he
also tells some pretty
off-the-wall stories.
HIATT: He can bring
some pretty odd things to
life.
Q: Do you remember
the first show here — he
got a lot of mileage ask-
ing you about how you
had just slept in a hotel
bed that had been recent-
ly used by the Dalai Lama?
HIATT: That was a great
moment. On the same pil-
low — think about that, it’s
pretty weird. It’s something
you never forget.
Q: You had a lot of your
songs covered in the early
1980s by other Nashville
acts; there was a lot of
good music coming out of
the city during that era.
HIATT: There also was
another period, in the early
1970s, when I first got here,
and Rodney Crowell first
got here, with Guy Clark

‘Birds of East Africa’ has world premiere at Kitchen Theatre
Jeremiah Porter, Lena Kaminsky and Jeremy Swift star in “Birds of East Africa” at the Kitchen Theatre.
The Kitchen Theatre
Company kicks off 2017
with the world premiere of
Wendy Dann’s poignant and
poetic “Birds of East Afri-
ca,” running Jan. 29 to Feb.
12. Previews begin Sunday,
with opening night on Feb.
2.
Following the unexpect-
ed death of her husband,
Marion, an accomplished
ornithologist, finds herself
without a place that feels
like home. Not knowing
where to land, she arrives
on the doorstep of her col-
lege friend Stephen and his
husband Nick, but is quick-
ly caught in the middle of
their unraveling marriage.
Stephen’s career is all
consuming, leaving little
room for Nick, who has a
chronic illness with symp-
toms that have begun to
accelerate. The three
mid-40s friends discover
they are standing at a cross-
roads, and that what once
seemed permanent and
secure in their lives is now
fragile and vulnerable.
In a series of tightly
wrought scenes moving
back and forth in time, with
dancers transforming into
the birds so central to Mar-
ion’s life, Dann’s new play
explores how we heal, find
hope and move on.
“I am fascinated by play-
wright Wendy Dann’s abil-
ity to so truthfully capture
life’s tiny, intimate mo-
ments of communication.
The play is packed with
those seconds in time when
we observe something
seemingly minor that trans-
forms into a revelation,”
says Rachel Lampert, artis-
tic director of Kitchen
Theatre Company and di-
rector of “Birds of East
Africa.” “Wendy has writ-
ten an exquisite piece that
offers honesty and hope
amidst sorrow and loss. I
am excited to see this world
premiere come to life with
our wonderfully talented
cast.”

5 Irish Tenors harmonize on first U.S. tour
CHRIS KOCHER
CKOCHER@ITHACAJOURNAL.COM

Over the past 25 years, a re-

surgence of interest in Irish music
and culture in America has led
many acts to make the journey
across the pond. From Riverdance
and Lord of the Dance to Celtic
Woman and Celtic Thunder, each
has put its own particular spin on
the tradition while also bringing it
into the 21st century.
The latest singers to vie for lis-
teners’ ears are the Five Irish Ten-
ors, who will stop at Binghamton
University’s Anderson Center next
week as part of their first North
American tour.
Members of the quintet — David
Martin, Morgan Crowley, Ciarán
Kelly, Alan Leech and George Hut-
ton — hail from diverse back-
grounds of musical theater, classi-
cal music and, of course, traditional
Irish music. Each of them has had a
solo career in the U.S., Ireland and
elsewhere, and they combined their
forces — and voices — a few years
ago. KEITH DIXON
“The five of us decided that we The Five Irish Tenors perform Wednesday at Binghamton University’s Anderson Center.
were so close and worked together

in different scenarios that we

thought we would sing together and
see how it went,” Kelly said from an
early U.S. tour stop last week. “We
got music written for us by our
musical director, Danny Forde. He
arranged all of the brand-new ma-
terial that we’re singing over here.
“The harmonies for the five
voices work really, really well — a
lot of Irish music was written with
five lines in mind with different
intonations.”
Before the Five Irish Tenors,
Kelly made his opera debut in 2007
singing the role of Don Curzio in a
production of Mozart’s “Le Nozze
Di Figaro,” and he later sang with
the Downpatrick Opera Fringe
Festival, Opera Theatre Company,
and Lyric Opera.
He also performed with Celtic
Woman during a 2012 U.S. tour, and
in 2014 he founded the a cappella
Irish group Ardú, which specializes

thought would work as well as ones
they enjoyed performing.
“Danny is the maestro behind it
all, so he uses our voices very well
and picks songs that he thinks
would suit us,” Kelly said.
“Also, through our own experi-
ences in America, we know what
audiences will enjoy — so while we
wanted to bring new music and
styles to the new audiences at each
show, we also included some clas-
sics in there that many Irish music
concerts include. Already we’ve
had a couple of concerts [in the
U.S.], and when we get the entire
theater singing along with us, it’s a
real pleasure.”
The “Salute to Ireland” setlist,
then, includes such favorites as
“Star of the County Down,” “You
Raise Me Up,” “She Moved
Through The Fair,” “My Wild Irish
Rose,” “When Irish Eyes Are Smil-
Having five vocalists offers
plenty of opportunities for harmony
singing, but bringing those voices
together and making them blend
well can sometimes be tricky. As
with all things musical, though, the
key to getting it right is rehearsal
and repetition.
“A few of us were steeped in
Irish traditional music during our
lives, so a lot of it you’ll have it on
your ear and the harmonies will
come naturally, because it’s some-
thing that you’ve listened to all your
life,” Kelly said. “For other pieces,
they have been very intricately put
together by Danny and we’ve put a
lot of work into them.”
As an Irishman abroad, Kelly
appreciates the bond that he finds
between his country and the U.S.
“There’s no doubt that there’s an
incredibly strong Irish culture in
many parts of America,” he said.

he and Kelly’s friendship stretches
back to their childhood together in
County Derry. Both of them moved

the singers pitched songs that they

Boy,” as well as other tunes that are
lesser known to American audi-

combinations of voices, as well as a
few solo parts that allow each of the
singers to shine.
“Tenors are very much the divas
of the singing world, so we all need
our moment in the spotlight,” Kelly
said.
“People want to connect with their
ancestry and background, and a lot
of Americans have grown up listen-
ing to the songs that we can bring
over to them.
“But in general, Americans and
Irish share a lot culturally and so-
cially as well — so aside from the
music, the idea that these five ten-
ors are coming over to share our
music and our culture, that’s attrac-
“We’ve traveled all over the
world, and I’ve yet to be on a stage
where someone has walked out

Kelly said with a laugh. “There’s

the stories that they tell — people
just connect with them.”

Q: When you listen to
some of your older ma-
terial from the 1970s, your
vocal style is still evolving
— you can hear traces of
Randy Newman or Elvis
Costello on some songs.
HIATT: I was still formu-
lating, still postulating, still
figuring it out.
Q: But you’ve been on a
nice roll since 1987, when
“Bring The Family” came
out.
HIATT: I was a late bloom-
er!
Q: When you were here
with your band in 2012,
you had just turned 60
and released your third
album in three years, and
joked about how you
were “speeding up” as
you got older. But you’ve
only released one album
since then.
HIATT: I have slowed
down the past couple of
years. I’ve got some stuff
I’ve been messing around
with, writing some stuff,
and it’s been good.
Q: Are you always writ-
ing songs?
HIATT: Not always. I’m
always playing, though, just
not always writing. The
muse doesn’t always show
up, but I’m always trying to
create the environment
where if the muse is gonna
show up, then I’ll be ready.
Q: At this point you’ve
written hundreds of
songs. Are you able to
play any of them at the
drop of a hat?
HIATT: Sometimes you
have to drop more than a
hat. The short answer
would be no. For example,
this past year I did primari-
ly solo touring, so before I’ll
pick a dozen or so older
songs and brush up on
them, anticipating that
people might ask for stuff
that they haven’t heard for
awhile. But they’re always
NY-0000793333
asking for other ones. I do
my best, but there’s always
stuff I can’t remember.
Q: Do you have favorite
covers of your songs?
HIATT: It’s kind of hard to
look at it that way, to be
honest with you. They’re all
kind of at least interesting,
and initially it’s amazing to
me that someone even both-
ers to record your song. It’s
always thrilling, just the
thought that someone would
take the time to record
something you’ve written.
It’s always such an honor to
me.
Beyond that, there’s
always at least something
interesting in someone’s
version of your tune. Plus,
it’s not like I have any idea
of how the songs are sup-
posed to be — they can have
at them any way they want
to is the way I feel about it.

I run them out of the house,
so they behave accordingly.
Q: Speaking of kids,
your daughter, Lilly Hiatt,
is also a singer-songwriter.
HIATT: She’s getting pret-
ty good. She’s just wrapping
her third record — I’ve
heard some of the songs,
and I think it’s some of her
best stuff yet. She’s really
coming into herself as a
singer and a guitar player,
too. It’s exciting.
Q: Did you encourage
her to pursue music?
HIATT: I never did. I dis-
couraged her, if anything.
“What do you want with the
crazy music business? Do
something dignified, for
God’s sake.” I’m proud of all
my kids, but it’s really nice
to see what’s she’s doing
now.

Get The Led Out, a Led Zeppelin cover band, returns to the State Theatre on Saturday night.

Get The Led Out returns to State Theatre
I’ve always had mixed feelings
about tribute bands, especially
when the band are paying homage
to groups that are still in existence.
But in cases where it’s impossible
(for example, the Beatles) or un-
likely (Led Zeppe-
lin) or both (Pink
Floyd) to hear the
originals, good
tribute bands can
provide a satis-
fying experience.
And sometimes
those bands can
actually sound
JIM better onstage, or
CATALANO at least more ac-
curately capture
Soundoff the vibe of the
records that made the original
6 • THE ITHACA JOURNAL
bands famous.
That’s certainly the case with
Get The Led Out, a Led Zeppelin
band that made an impressive de-
but in Ithaca last year. The group,
which returns to the State Theatre
on Saturday night, describes its
“mission to bring the studio record-
ings of ‘the mighty Zep’ to life on
the big concert stage. This is not an
impersonator act but rather a group
of musicians who were fans first,
striving to do justice to one of the
greatest bands in rock history.”
They certainly lived up to that
promise last year, accurately recre-
ating classic Led Zep songs in a way
that the original band never could
(or tried to) do with just four mem-
bers onstage. Famous songs such as
“Whole Lotta Love,” “Stairway To
Heaven” and “Immigrant Songs”
came to life with as many as eight
people on stage as needed, while
deep album cuts such as “In My
Time of Dying” and “Ten Years
Gone” provided nice changeups
throughout the night. (You can find
the whole setlist at setlist.fm; the
band will likely play a bunch of
different songs this time around.)
Get The Led Out includes Paul
Sinclair (vocals), Paul Hammond
(guitar, mandolin), Jimmy Marchia-
no (guitar), Phil D’Agostino (bass),
Adam Ferraioli (drums) and An-
drew Lipke (keyboards, guitar),
with Diana DeSantis performing on
one or two songs as well. (They also
had a roadie come out to help on
one song last time.) As noted above,
they don’t try to look like Led Zep-
pelin. Indeed, Sinclair joked last
year that he looked more like How-
ard Stern than Robert Plant.
But they don’t cut corners when
it comes to the music.
“A lot of care, time, and effort
goes into trying to recreate the
iconic tones of the recordings of
Led Zeppelin,” Hammond told Gui-
tar Player magazine in 2014. “A
successful Zep tribute is one that
cares enough to take the time to
present the music in the best pos-
sible way. There are a lot of fantas-
tic tribute bands out there enjoying
varying degrees of popularity, as
there is a demand for the best mu-
sic of all time to be performed live
in concert.”
Find out more at
www.gtlorocks.com.
Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are
$25-$35 and available at the State
Theatre Box Office, by calling 27-

Rubblebucket returns
Rubblebucket, the Brooklyn-
based indie-pop band that has made
several impressive appearances
locally over the past few years, will
return to the Haunt on Friday night.
Led by Alex Toth and Kalmia
Traver, who both toured with John
Brown’s Body for a few years be-
fore forming Rubblebucket, the
group is known for its high-energy
performances that blend propulsive
grooves and catchy melodies.
Last week, Rubblebucket re-
leased a new EP titled “If U C My
Enemies,” the follow-up to 2014’s
“Survival Sounds,” written after
Traver’s 2013 bout with ovarian
cancer.
“One of my mantras over the last
few years has been the Dalai Lama
quote ‘Our enemies are our greatest
teachers’,” explained Toth in a
press release. “When Kal got can-
cer, it forced me to confront my
alcohol abuse. I got sober, we both
started eating healthier, exercising
more and engaging in daily mind-
fulness practice to reduce stress. It
was a huge awakening and
strengthened our purpose as art-
ists. The practice of replacing fear
with compassion is daily and it has
had a healing effect on us and hope-
fully those around us. If we can
stand tall to face the ‘bad’ things
that inevitably exist, a very power-
ful positive transformation can
occur. And that is my hope for this
country!”

Dowd Gallery to
feature Ian
McMahon’s
installation
SUNY Cortland’s Dowd
Gallery will present “Sem-
blance” on view through
Feb. 21, featuring two site-
specific sculptural installa-
tions by artist Ian McMa-
hon, who graduated from
Ithaca High School in 2000.
His immense works trans-
form the space and interact
with its architecture.
The main gallery is va-
cant other than the form of
a white, Austrian-style cur-
tain whose curved pleats
span the entire wall of win-
dows. Suggestive of theater,
it alludes to the role of the
gallery as a temporary
stage and the construction
and destruction of the piece
as a performance. In con-
trast, the installation in the
east gallery assertively
overtakes the sunken space.
Several giant, white, pillow-
like forms squeeze around
the corner of the entrance
wall, are cinched by the
ramp and push upward,
crowding the pipes in the
ceiling. In the third space in
the show, the west gallery, a
series of video recordings
of the destruction of McMa-
hon’s previous installations
are projected.
An opening reception
will be held from 4:30 to 6
p.m. Thursday. McMahon
will present an artist’s talk
at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1.
An inflatable sculpture
workshop will be led by
McMahon from 5 to 8 p.m.

To close the exhibit, “A

val, cosponsored with the
Ithaca Youth Bureau. This
semester’s edition of the
festival includes seven
family-friendly Saturday
matinees at 2 p.m. between
this Saturday and March 18,
all $5 for adults and $4 for
kids 12 and under.
The festival launches
Saturday with the recent
animated hit “Kubo and the
Two Strings,” inspired by
10 • THE ITHACA JOURNAL
Japanese folklore and fea-
turing handcrafted origami
creations to tell its tale of a
young boy who must locate
a magical suit of armor
worn by his late father in
order to defeat a vengeful
spirit from the past.
“Kubo” will be followed
by a documentary from
Mongolia, “The Eagle Hunt-
ress,” on Feb. 4 (when subti-
tles will be read aloud); the
classic Jules Verne adven-
ture film “20,000 Leagues
Under the Sea,” on Feb. 11;
the animated Disney hit,
“Moana, on Feb. 18; a spe-
cial IthaKid presentation of
the interactive “Cat Video
Fest” on March 4; the “18th
Animation Show of Shows,”
a collection of award-win-
ning animated shorts on
March 11; and another ani-
mated feature, “Sing,” on
March 18. Several of the
films will be offered at
additional times for regular
prices. Complete descrip-
tions and age recommenda-
tions can be found on Cor-
nell Cinema’s website at
cinema.cornell.edu.
Patrons will also be giv-
en the chance to see Denis
Villeneuve’s “Arrival” (7
p.m. Saturday), starring
Amy Adams as a linguist
called into service by the
American government
when alien spacecraft land
across the globe, and An-
drea Arnold’s “American
Honey” (9:30 p.m. Saturday,
7 p.m. Sunday and Monday),
a road movie starring Shia
LaBeouf, Riley Keough and
newcomer Sasha Lane as
part of a group of hard-
scrabble youths making
their way across the Mid-
west selling magazine sub-
scriptions.
The first of many docu-
mentary premieres this
spring, “All Governments
Lie: Truth, Deception, and
the Spirit of I.F. Stone,”
about the history of inde-
pendent journalism and its
continuing importance to
our democracy, screens on
Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m.
Jeff Cohen, director of the
Park Center for Indepen-
dent Media at Ithaca Col-
lege, who appears in the
film (along with Noam
Chomsky, Amy Goodman,
Glenn Greenwald, Carl
Bernstein and many oth-
ers), will be on hand to lead
a post-screening discussion.
A semester-long series
“Skin,” presented in con-
junction with Cornell’s Soci-
ety for the Humanities’
2016-17 focal theme, kicks
off at 7 p.m. Wednesday,
Feb. 1, with Douglas Sirk’s
“Imitation of Life,” and
what is perhaps the most
important film to come out
in 2016, Barry Jenkins’s
“Moonlight,” at 9:30 p.m.
The 11 films in the series
invite viewers to reflect on
skin as it relates to race,
sexuality, gender, class,
ethnicity and more. Other
titles include “The Wander-
ers,” based on writer Rich-
ard Price's debut novel;
Pedro Almodóvar's “The
PROVIDED
Skin I Live In”; Darren
Aronofsky's “Black Swan”;
Hiroshi Teshigahara's “The
Face of Another”; Claire
Denis' “Chocolat”; and Pe-
ter Greenaway's “The Pil-
low Book.” The series fea-
tures the Ithaca premiere of
Raoul Peck’s “I Am Not
Your Negro,” based on
James Baldwin's writings
about America's racial di-
vide, on Feb. 8, which will
include a post-screening
Cornell faculty panel dis-
cussion.
All screenings take place
in the Willard Straight
Theatre. For a complete
line-up of Cornell Cinema’s
spring season, as well as
