 The Ithaca Airport, a small airport that works daily to ensure constant, collaborative communication with its airlines, tenants, customers, business and leisure travelers, and the community at large, is pleased to announce an increase in jet service and welcome a new airline this fall.
"The addition of jet service for NWA and welcoming a new airline (Continental Airlines) for fall 2008 are two pieces of extraordinary news," said Robert A. Nicholas, A.A.E., Airport Manager for ITH. "During a time of cutbacks, increased service bucks the trend we're witnessing at airports around the country, particularly smaller ones," said Nicholas.
"We'll continue to update the community we serve throughout the summer and the fall," Nicholas concluded. A community celebration with federal and airline officials is planned for later this year.

Two hundred and fifty nine years after it was first built by the North family in the center of what is now Lansing, the oldest remaining log cabin in Tompkins and Cayuga Counties will likely be reassembled in its home town this year. But before that happens the cabin must face one last hurdle: where? "Chris offered to put this log cabin up free of charge," Lansing Town Supervisor Scott Pinney told the Town Board last week. "Any materials that are needed he would spend his own money to buy the materials himself. He has his own property that he can put it on. I think we should move forward and allow that to happen."
But Councilman Bud Shattuck said that giving the cabin to Muka would be jumping the gun. "Chris offered this last year," he said. We looked at the property. We actually had our highway department come and look at the property. And it was completely ill suited for putting the cabin there. While the space is there the configuration isn't there."

 Ithaca Carshare vehicles will be available for use on Wednesday June 25. The local nonprofit provides members self-service 24-hour access to 6 hatchbacks, with a pick-up truck expected shortly. Carshare members use an online reservation system to choose the vehicle they need at the time they need it. All six vehicles were driven by organizers in the Ithaca Festival parade on Thursday.
Vehicles will be located in several locations around town, including downtown, Collegetown, two locations on the Cornell campus, at Ithaca College, and at EcoVillage on West Hill. Both Ithaca College and Cornell are supporting participation by students and staff, and as a result, organizers expect to increase vehicles and locations around Ithaca within months.

 WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Michael A. Arcuri (D-Utica) voted for, and the House of Representatives passed, bipartisan legislation to expand GI Bill education benefits for veterans and their families, extend unemployment insurance for those displaced by the recent economic downturn and protect health insurance benefits for low-income families.
“This legislation will ensure that our nation’s veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan can attend college and provide for their families,” Arcuri said. “This legislation represents a bipartisan agreement to fulfill our nation’s domestic priorities by protecting Medicaid benefits and extending unemployment insurance benefits for those seeking jobs.”

 Sheriff Peter Meskill today announced a new program in cooperation with the State Department of Correctional Services that will lead to significant cost savings for Tompkins County. Sheriff Peter Meskill said that Sheriffs across New York State, and especially those in the Western New York area, anticipate considerable savings to their counties as a result of a decision by the New York State Department of Correctional Services to designate added facilities as reception facilities for receiving state prisoners.
When county jail inmates are sentenced to serve prison terms in a New York correctional facility, the Sheriff is required to transport that individual to one of a few designated prisons for further processing by state correctional officers. At a recent training conference for Sheriffs hosted by the New York State Sheriffs' Association, State DOCS Commissioner Brian Fischer met with Sheriffs and heard that some must make very lengthy trips to deliver these inmates into State custody.
