Students,
Starting this Monday, November 1st, the front entrance of the Schwartz building (the door facing the lake) will be blocked off due to painters who will be working on the outside of our building. The painter estimated that the front entrance portion should take about 3-5days depending on the weather for next week. Please inform people to go around the building and use the back entrance during this time. Thank you for your help and I apologize for any inconvenience.

On Monday, November 1st, at 7:00 in the Art Exhibit Room, three Editors and several writers with work in the 10th Anniversary issue of THE HEALING MUSE will read from the magazine.
The Editors who will read are Deirdre Neilen, Rebecca Garden, and Nancy Schreher. The writers are essayist Mona de Vestel (Utica), poets Bruce Bennett (Wells), Anna Feldman (Wells ’10), Katy Giebenhain (Pennsylvania), Joyce McAllister (Ithaca), and Sue Supley (Syracuse). Also present will be Kayleen Wilkinson (Wells ’10) who published an essay in The Healing Muse 9 and served as an intern, and current Wells Senior Ana Giovinazzo, who served as a Healing Muse intern.
The Healing Muse is the annual journal of literary and visual art published by SUNY Upstate Medical University’s Center for Bioethics & Humanities. It was founded by Distinguished SUNY University Professor Bonnie A. St. Andrews, who passed away in 2003. Wells College Press published a chapbook of Ms. St. Andrews’ poems, LEARNING FROM RENOIR in 2004, and has sponsored annual readings from The Healing Muse.
Deirdre Neilen wrote in her Editor’s Note to the current issue: : “The book you hold in your hands testifies to the power of art, a power far greater than medicine. The artists and writers within its pages continue B. A. St. Andrews?s vision of a journal that would celebrate memory, commitment, love, and yes, even suffering, all the experiences that make us human and thus serve to unite our individual identities.”
Poet, doctor, and Professor at Harvard, Rafael Campo wrote: “The Healing Muse, one of the first literary journals to recognize the connections between creative self-expression and healing, remains one of the foremost in the burgeoning field of the medical humanities”. It has grown to become an instrument of healing for our entire troubled culture.”
Refreshments will be served after the reading.

ANNOUNCING….Forum in Lansing
Lessons from Pennsylvania: Impact of Marcellus Shale Gas Development on Rivers, Streams and Forests
A Free, Public, Educational Forum on the Effects of Gas Extraction on Recreation, Hunting,Fishing,Hiking, etc.
Monday, November 1, 2010
7:00 – 9:00 pm
Lansing Middle School Auditorium
6 Ludlowville Road, Lansing, NY
High volume, slick water, hydraulic fracturing (hydro-fracking) to take natural gas from the Marcellus Shale has been going on in Pennsylvania for the past three years. Hydro-fracking includes withdrawing millions of gallons of water from nearby rivers, lakes, and streams, mixing it with
chemicals, and injecting the solution under high pressure into the shale to release the gas.
What has been the effect of Marcellus gas development on the people who use the outdoors for recreation? What has been the effect on their hiking, fishing, biking, birding, hunting,camping,boating,family outings, sightseeing?
Pennsylvanians and those who have studied the effects will share what they have learned,and they will take questions from the audience at this free, educational forum.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: People who enjoy the outdoors for recreation, hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, birding,hunting,camping, boating, family outings, and sightseeing. In addition, anyone who seeks more information about the effects of Marcellus gas development in Pennsylvania on their natural environment should attend.
SPEAKERS: Katy Dunlap, Trout Unlimited, Eastern Water Project Director. Ms. Dunlap will talk about impacts on coldwater fisheries and their watersheds, ranging from small mountain streams to largerriver system like the Susquehanna.. Katy will also explain what Trout Unlimited and its members are doing to protect streams and rivers in the Marcellus Shale region.
Shellie Northrop, member and volunteer of several PA and NY hiking clubs and trail associations. Through Ms. Northrop?s years of hiking and contact with other hikers, she is able to describe the impact of drilling activities for hikers in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. She will also use examples in PA to offer suggestions of how those of us in NY can take action now that will help protect our wilderness areas.
Bill Belitskus, Allegheny Defense Project, Board President. Mr. Belitskus lives adjacent to and has been hiking, camping and recreating in Pennsylvania?s Allegheny National Forest for over 35 years. He has been monitoring forest fragmentation, water degradation, air pollution, species
decline and loss of recreation opportunities associated with oil and gas development from land clearing, well
site and road construction, pipelines, tank batteries, generators, compressors, gas processing plants,
truck traffic and construction equipment for the past 15 years. He will discuss one of the critical issues of
unconventional hydrocarbon, deep shale extraction: withdrawal of water from streams and rivers, and riparian rights of landowners to protect waterways.
Co-Sponsors: Social Ventures, ROUSE, Dryden Resource Awareness Coalition (DRAC), Cornell Outdoor Education, Cayuga Lake Watershed Network, Finger Lakes Sierra Club, Coalition to Protect New York, Tompkins County League of Women Voters, Ithaca Health Alliance, and others
