This morning's Ithaca Journal has a profile and picture of Peter "Pete" Tyler, "the first African-American in IPD to reach the rank of sergeant." Tyler is a member of the Ithaca Police Department SWAT team, as well as a member of their recruitment team. He lives in Dryden, where he also volunteers with Neptune Hose Company.
Freeville village elections appear to be uncontested, with incumbents Rachel Dickinson and Tom Lyson running again.
The Ithaca School Board provided Superintendent Pastel with guidelines for redistricting planning, as well as a contract extension and a raise.
Also, the Journal's editorial supports building a dog park, though in the current Cass and Treman Park location, not mentioning the possibility of a dog park at the SPCA in Dryden.
