 If you put a 41 cent stamp on a letter this Monday it will be insufficient because the US Postal Service rates are going up. Starting May 12 it will take 42 cents to send a first class letter. Lansing Post Office's Steve Funcell says that people have been coming in early to get one cent stamps so they can use up the 41 cent stamps they already have. But he expects long lines next week when the rates officially go up. ""People will come in and wait in a long line just to buy a few one cent stamps even though it may not be a pressing issue for them," he says. "I think the businesses are more on top of it. It's more of a problem for individuals."
On July 1, 1885 the rate for a one ounce letter was two cents. It didn't go up until November 3, 1917 when it was raised to three cents during World War I. It actually went back to two cents again in 1919. It didn't reach three cents again until 1932. But in 1958 it went to four cents, which started a more frequent gradual rise. It went up twice in the '60s, four times in the '70s, five times in the '80s, three more times in the '90s, until it reached 34 cents in 2001. Next Monday will be the fifth time the rates have risen in the 21st century. And with each price rise there has been a need for one cent stamps. "We've had one cent stamps for probably 150 years or so," Funcell says.

This Saturday (May 10th) the Ithaca Community Childcare Center (IC3) on Warren Road will be holding their third annual truck show. Chaired by Julie Darby and Bethany Woodman, the truck show is the center's second biggest fund raiser for its scholarship fund. This year the pair say it is bigger and better than ever, featuring 55 vehicles of all kinds. "The SWAT bus is always a big hit," Darby says. "Police cars, ambulances. This year we have the Time Warner Weather Chaser. They're going to bring the weather van with a green screen and allow children to do a ten minute mock weather broadcast, and a video of themselves to take home free. That will be from 11 to 1. I-100 Classic Rock Radio is coming back again with Cat and Mark DJing broadcasting live from 10 to 2."
