Tompkins Weekly December 19-25, 2016 Keeping You Connected TOMPKINS WEEKLY Locally Owned & Operated TompkinsWeekly.com Vol. 11, No. 43 No simple solution to find new legislator candidates O, CHRISTMAS TREE By E.C. Barrett Tompkins Weekly he recent 8-6 vote in favor of increasing Tompkins County legislator salaries, starting in 2018,T highlighted the question of accessibility and diversity in local government. Does the pay and schedule of a legislator exclude low income and working-class citizens from running for office? What impact does that have on Tompkins County governance? Among legislators, the answer is split. Democrat Martha Robertson (District 13) disagrees that diversity is a problem in the legislature. “The idea of a meaningful salary is that you’d have a diverse pool of candidates,” she said. “I think the legislature does reflect that. “The barriers to people running for this office have more to do with other issues, such as job insecurity – you might not have a job four years later,” Robertson added. “And not many people want to run against an incumbent, so maybe term limits would be a better way to encourage people to run.” Photo by Pete Angie / Tompkins Weekly When asked about diverse representation in the legislature, Sydney, Issac and Jeanne Malone show off the Christmas tree they cut down at Hunt’s Tree Farm in Trumansburg. Republican Mike Sigler (District 6) said diversity of backgrounds is less important than diversity of thought. “I don’t think people really want more diversity, they want people Local farms work year-round to make who think like them, they like the idea of people coming from different ways of life but if those people were certain holiday traditions can continue voting against what they wanted, they wouldn’t,” he said. “I think you have By Pete Angie Hot chocolate, chili and hot dogs await chilled Tompkins Weekly patrons in the barn at Hunt’s, where they can warm Continued on page 13 cold fingers and toes by a wood stove, and even say hi enturing out on a cold day in December to one to Santa Claus.

    2017 Annual Report 2017 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Every now and then I am introduced to someone who knows, kind of, who I am and what I do and they instinctively ask, ‘‘How are things at Saga?’’ (they pronounce it ‘‘say-gah’’). I am polite and correct their pronunciation (‘‘sah-gah’’) as I am proud of the word and its history. This is usually followed by, ‘‘What is a ‘‘sah-gah?’’ My response is that there are several definitions — a common one from 1857 deems a ‘‘Saga’’ as ‘‘a long, convoluted story.’’ The second one that we prefer is ‘‘an ongoing adventure.’’ That’s what we are. Next they ask, ‘‘What do you do there?’’ (pause, pause). I, too, pause, as by saying my title doesn’t really tell what I do or what Saga does. In essence, I tell them that I am in charge of the wellness of the Company and overseer and polisher of the multiple brands of radio stations that we have. Then comes the question, ‘‘Radio stations are brands?’’ ‘‘Yes,’’ I respond. ‘‘A consistent allusion can become a brand. Each and every one of our radio stations has a created personality that requires ongoing care. That is one of the things that differentiates us from other radio companies.’’ We really care about the identity, ambiance, and mission of each and every station that belongs to Saga. We have radio stations that have been on the air for close to 100 years and we have radio stations that have been created just months ago.

  • Commencement Ceremonies
    THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER One Hundred and Eighteenth Annual Commencement Ceremonies SUNDAY, JUNE SECOND NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT In keeping with the nature of the ceremonies and in order that all may see and hear without distraction, it is requested that those in attendance refrain from smoking and conversation during the ceremonies and from moving onto the floor to take photographs. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Academic Attire The distinctive attire of those participating in the academic procession represents a tradition that reaches at least as far back as the fourteenth century when gowns similar to today' s became the required dress at many European universities. Gow1u were then a common form of apparel for both the clergy and the laity but today they survive chiefly in eccle­ siastical or academic ceremonies such as the one we shall witness this afternoon. The symbolism of the American style of regalia is described below. Variations may be observed in the attire of the graduates of for­ eign universities and of the several American institutions which have departed from tradition. The gowns for the three levels of degrees differ primarily in the sleeve. The bachelor's gown has long pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master's gown is usually worn open and has long square-cut sleeves with slits through which the forearms protrude. The doctor's gown has large bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet crossbars on the upper portion of the arm and velvet trimming down the front of the gown. The mor­ tarboard derives from the Oxford cap and is generally black with a black tassel, although color is sometimes used to indicate the field in which the degree was awarded.

    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations.

  • SAGA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Exact Name of Registrant As Specified in Its Charter)
    2016 Annual Report 2016 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Well…. here we go. This letter is supposed to be my turn to tell you about Saga, but this year is a little different because it involves other people telling you about Saga. The following is a letter sent to the staff at WNOR FM 99 in Norfolk, Virginia. Directly or indirectly, I have been a part of this station for 35+ years. Let me continue this train of thought for a moment or two longer. Saga, through its stockholders, owns WHMP AM and WRSI FM in Northampton, Massachusetts. Let me share an experience that recently occurred there. Our General Manager, Dave Musante, learned about a local grocery/deli called Serio’s that has operated in Northampton for over 70 years. The 3rd generation matriarch had passed over a year ago and her son and daughter were having some difficulties with the store. Dave’s staff came up with the idea of a ‘‘cash mob’’ and went on the air asking people in the community to go to Serio’s from 3 to 5PM on Wednesday and ‘‘buy something.’’ That’s it. Zero dollars to our station. It wasn’t for our benefit. Community outpouring was ‘‘just overwhelming and inspiring’’ and the owner was emotionally overwhelmed by the community outreach. As Dave Musante said in his letter to me, ‘‘It was the right thing to do.’’ Even the local newspaper (and local newspapers never recognize radio) made the story front page above the fold. Permit me to do one or two more examples and then we will get down to business.
