The JV baseball team finished with a regular season record of 16 – 0.  Continuing to play with poise, confidence and discipline the team defeated the Eagles, Blue Devils and the Blue Raiders in the last matchups of this season.  They started the week with an assertive, 24 – 3, win over Whitney Point.  The boys then traveled to Moravia where they took the lead and never let it go.  For their final regular season game the Bobcats battled their rival across the lake, defeating them 15 – 8.   They earned the title of IAC Large School North Champions and the right to compete in the IAC Large School championship game against the Waverly Wolverines.

The Whitney Point Eagles soared into Lansing only to be hooded and sent away by a committee of Bobcat pitchers.  Relying on the solid defense behind them, Corbin Atkins, Greg Lee, Ben Kutler, and Dominic Tarallo combined for six strikeouts and allowed only three runs.  The offense was alive from the start of the game.  Kyle Arrison batted a thousand going 1 for 1 with a two RBI single.  Logan Osterman went 2 for 3 with a double and a single.  Atkins, Kutler, Mikula, Tarallo, Jesse Richardson, Jared Strait and Owen Davis all batted five hundred.

The U.S. Department of Transportation announced Friday that it will restore the funding needed to support continued operation of the Ithaca air traffic control tower, as well as 148 other airport contract towers across the country, through the end of the federal fiscal year September 30.  Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced DOT has determined that the recently enacted Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013 will allow the FAA to transfer sufficient funds to keep the contract towers open for the remainder of this fiscal year.  The towers, including Ithaca’s, had been scheduled to close as of June 15, as a result of federal sequestration.

“I am absolutely delighted to hear that our air traffic control tower will be allowed to stay open,” said Airport Manager Bob Nicholas.  “It is a hugely important facility for the smooth flow of air traffic and the efficiency of our airline partners.  My thanks to all the hard work from the Air Services Board, Tompkins County officials, Cornell, Ithaca College and a whole host of others who have used their time and influence to lobby people in Washington.  Due to their efforts the FAA now clearly understands what the tower means to this airport and the community in general.”

AfterImage Electrolysis is opening a Lansing office on June 4th.  The practice will be open inside the Styles and Smiles Hair Salon at 3100 N. Triphammer Road.  Electrologist Jill Bush will be there twice a week to help people with unwanted hair. 

"I love that I can help women gain self confidence.  I've been through electrolysis myself.  (Unwanted hair) really does make you feel self-conscious and it's something that so many women have to deal with on a daily basis.  Not only does electrolysis free up their time, but it saves them money and gives them a huge boost in their confidence.  it's a very rewarding job to have."
