Indian Nation in Western New York.
Gansworth’s work is a commentary on the oral
tradition existing within Haudenosaunee culture and
its fluid nature. He uses iconography recognizable
in the context of the mythic Haudenosaunee
world, yet alters it to reflect issues relevant to a
more contemporary Haudenosaunee existence.
He began his creative work as a visual artist
and eventually expanded to narrative as a way of
furthering the storytelling he had developed visually. Paintings are featured as integral parts of
their narratives in many of his works, including

Community Roundtable on Nov. 3 Features
Economic Impact of Healthcare Providers
A representative from a local hospital and
another from an economic development agency
will discuss “How Does Healthcare Drive the Local
Economy?” during a community roundtable on
Thursday, Nov. 3.
The roundtable takes place between 8-9 a.m.
in the Park Center Hall of Fame Room. Sponsored
by the President’s Office and the Center for Educational Exchange, the event is free and open to the
public. Refreshments will be served at 7:45 a.m.
Mark Prus, arts and sciences, will moderate
the discussion. The panelists are: Linda Dickerson
Hartsock, executive director of the Cortland
County Business Development Corporation/
Industrial Development Agency; and Brian Mitteer,
president and chief executive officer of Cortland
Memorial Hospital.
A question-and-answer period will follow the
presentation.
Corporate surveys consistently receive feedback
that a state-of-the-art healthcare system is a critical
factor in attracting employers and employees. An
investment in quality healthcare creates a healthy,
quality community that goes hand-in-hand with
economic development. Panelists will discuss how
Cortland’s community-based healthcare programs,
coupled with biotechnology programs, research at
higher education institutions and proximity to a
medical university center make the area ripe for
significant economic growth.
Hartsock plans to review the area’s healthcare
services from an economic development
perspective and discuss the Department of Labor
statistics indicating trends in the healthcare sector.
“There are two reasons this topic is pertinent
in Cortland County today,” Hartsock said. “We
have a growing aging population who will increasingly need quality healthcare. Second, if you
look at every economic indicator, healthcare is
one of the strongest sectors in terms of job growth
in the coming years. We have excellent local
resources, including a community hospital and
a very strong medical infrastructure. Regionally,
we have access to Cornell University’s Center for
Advanced Technology and Life Sciences.”
“The future viability of a community-based
hospital such as Cortland Memorial Hospital
depends on the stability of the local area’s
economy, community support and access to
resources including personnel, financial, education
and tertiary medical care,” Mitteer said. “In return,
the local hospital provides both quality healthcare
and an economic base to the community.”

Roundtable series, contact the Center for

Progressive Radio
Show Host to Speak
On Campus Nov. 2
Amy Goodman, who hosts and is executive
producer of the award-winning national radio talk
show “Democracy Now!,” will speak on
Wednesday, Nov. 2.
She will open her lecture in Old Main Brown
Auditorium at 6 p.m. with a half-hour video
she produced titled “Independent Media in a
Time of War.”
Organized by the College’s Cultural and
Intellectual Climate Committee as part of a yearlong arts and lecture series on the theme of
“Rights Inalienable in a Time of War,” Goodman’s
lecture and other events are free and open to
the public. A book-signing opportunity will be
available from 5-5:45 p.m. in the Old Main
Colloquium.
Goodman is co-author with her brother, David
Goodman, of the national best-seller The
Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily Politicians,
War Profiteers, and the Media that Love Them.
The book was chosen by independent bookstores
as the number one political title of the 2004 election season. The editors of Publishers Weekly
selected the volume as one of the top 50 nonfiction
books of 2004.
Goodman began her career in community
radio in 1985 at Pacifica Radio’s New York
Station, WBAI, where she produced “Evening
News” for 10 years.
In 1996, Goodman helped launch Pacifica
Radio’s “Democracy Now!,” a national daily
independent news program that now airs on
more than 300 stations in North America.
Pioneering the largest public media collaboration
in the U.S., the award-winning show is broadcast
on Pacifica, community, and National Public Radio
stations, public access cable television stations,
satellite television, shortwave radio and the Internet.
The show’s “War and Peace Report” provides
its audience with access to people and perspectives
rarely heard in the U.S. corporate-sponsored
media, including independent and international
journalists, ordinary people from around the
world who are directly affected by U.S. foreign
policy, peace activists, artists, academics and
independent analysts. In addition, the “War and
Peace Report” hosts real debates between people
who substantially disagree, such as between the
White House or the Pentagon spokespeople and
grassroots activists.
Goodman and “Democracy Now!” producer
Jeremy Scahill went to Nigeria in the late 1990s
to create a radio documentary titled “Drilling and

Broadway Musical “Sweet Charity” Opens Oct. 28
The Performing Arts Department will present
the Broadway musical comedy favorite “Sweet
Charity” for six performances between Oct. 28
and Nov. 6 in the Dowd Fine Arts Theatre.
This dance-filled show, based on a book by
Neil Simon with music by Cy Coleman and lyrics
by Dorothy Fields, is about the optimistic dancehall hostess Charity Hope Valentine, played by
Christina Laschuk, who searches for true love in
New York City in the 1960s.
Filled with such song hits as “Hey Big
Spender,” “ If They Could See Me Now,” “I’m a
Brass Band” and “Where Am I Going?,” “Sweet
Charity” is the quintessential Broadway jazz dance
musical. It is loosely based on a classic 1957
Italian film, Federico Fellini’s Nights of Cabiria.
The stage musical version opened on Broadway
in 1966 with dancing star Gwen Verdon as
Charity and was directed and choreographed by
Bob Fosse. The 1969 film version, also staged
by Fosse, featured Shirley MacLaine as Charity.
A popular 1986 revival on Broadway starred
Debbie Allen as the heroine. “Sweet Charity” is
currently on Broadway again with Christina
Applegate as Charity.
The SUNY Cortland production is directed and
choreographed by Kevin Halpin with musical
direction by David Neal, both of performing arts.
The scenic design is by Howard Lindh, performing
arts, the costumes by Travis Lope, and the lighting
by Joel Pape, performing arts.
Also featured in the cast are Melanie Richman
and Nicolina Sciascia as Charity’s pals Helene and
Niki, William Thomas as her boss Herman, Eric
Woolf as the nerdy Oscar, Joshua Williams as the
preacher Daddy Brubeck, and Dick Baker as the
Italian movie star Vittorio Vidal.
Performances of “Sweet Charity” are Fridays
and Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at
2 p.m. Ticket prices are $14 for the general public, $12 for senior citizens and SUNY faculty and
staff and $7 for all students. Tickets are on sale at

Interfaith Lecture Will Examine Peace Building in Israel and Palestine
Rabbi Yehezkel Landau, who has spent more
than 25 years in Israel intimately involved with a
number of efforts to build peace and understanding
between Israelis and Palestinians, will lecture on
“Grassroots Peacebuilding in Israel/Palestine”
on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Landau, who lectures internationally on
issues of religion and politics and Middle East
peacemaking, will present the 13th Memorial
Lecture in Honor of John Galipault and Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Crumb at 7:30 p.m. in Corey Union
Exhibition Lounge. Galipault and the Crumbs
were instrumental in forming the Interfaith
Association, which is sponsoring the event.
Refreshments will be served during the talk.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
A faculty associate in interfaith relations at
Hartford Seminary in Connecticut, Landau will give
an account of his years of peace work, as well as
discuss the prospects and needs for peace today.
“The architects of the Oslo framework were
well-meaning political leaders who tried to strike
a deal that would bring about the establishment
of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza, and
East Jerusalem in return for guarantees ensuring
Israel’s security and acceptance by the Arab
world,” Landau said. “That exchange sounds
reasonable, but something got distorted in the
translation from vision to reality.”
Landau points to a breakdown of trust
between the two sides.
“But there was, in my view, a more fundamental problem, a ‘congenital defect’ in the Oslo
concept,” said Landau, referring to “a rationalist
assumption of how the conflict could be resolved.
The negotiators were secular nationalists who tried
to impose a ‘secular’ peace plan on a holy land
whose inhabitants include many people motivated
by religious passions. Since the religious militants
on both sides were effectively shut out of the
negotiating process, they have done their best to
sabotage the outcome.”
The rabbi will share his thoughts on solutions
to the current dilemma.
Landau currently oversees the Hartford Seminary’s Building Abrahamic Partnerships, an interfaith training program for clergy, religious educators and seminarians from the three Abrahamic
faith traditions. The initiative is supported by grants
from the William and Mary Greve Foundation and
the Alan B. Slifka Foundation.
He is also co-director of Open House, a center
for Jewish-Arab reconciliation and co-existence in
Ramle, Israel.
From 1991-2003, he was an active faculty
associate in interfaith relations at Hartford
Seminary. He taught courses in Jewish spirituality,
the Hebrew Bible and religion and peacemaking.
He also added a Jewish voice to internal discussions at the Seminary, while serving as liaison
with the local Jewish community and outreach
educator to local synagogues, churches and
mosques. Landau coordinated the “Building
Abrahamic Partnerships” training program for
Jewish, Christian, and Muslim clergy, religious
educators and seminarians.
He also co-founded and was international
relations director for Open House Center for
Jewish-Arab Co-existence in Ramle, Israel. His
responsibilities included program planning, fundraising, developing an international support network, speaking before groups in Israel and
abroad and writing material for English publications and Web sites.
From 1982-1991, he was executive director
of the Oz veShalom - Netivot Shalom, the religious
Zionist peace movement in Israel. Landau directed
the staff, raised funds for the movement’s activities,
and represented the group in writing and in person
before groups and the news media.
Since 1981, he has served as lecturer on
Judaism and interfaith relations at several
Christian institutions in Israel, including the
Tantur Ecumenical Institute, St. George’s College,
the Sisters of Sion international study program at
Ecce Homo, the Swedish Theological Institute,
and Nes Ammim village in the Galilee.

The event began in Spring 1985 when the
Cortland County Council of Churches, the
Interfaith Center, and the SUNY Cortland Black
Student Union joined together and sponsored
SUNY Cortland’s first African American Gospel
Music Festival. Inaugural choirs for the festival
included Syracuse University’s Black Celestial
Choral Ensemble, the Amani Gospel Choir of
Ithaca College, the SUNY Oswego Gospel Choir,
and Monroe Community College Gospel Choir of
Rochester, N.Y. A small group of SUNY Cortland
students took to the stage and sang two numbers, heralding the beginning of what would soon
become a highly successful organization.
Over the years, students from England,
South America, Germany, Austria and Japan
have participated in the choir. This year the choir
is represented by members from as far away as
Ireland and Japan. In addition to the diverse
group of students from SUNY Cortland, members
of the community, alumni and SUNY Cortland
faculty also participate.

Senate Creates GE Standing Committee
The Faculty Senate voted unanimously to
make its General Education (GE) Committee a
standing committee during its Oct. 11 meeting
the Corey Union Exhibition Lounge.
Since its inception in the 1980s, the GE
Committee has functioned as a Senate committee
but had never been formally incorporated into the
Senate structure. Last year, the Faculty Senate
charged the Educational Policy Committee (EPC)
in conjunction with the GE Committee to develop
committee membership guidelines to include
components such as representation, terms of
service and ex officio membership.
The 13-member GE Committee will be
responsible for coordinating all aspects of the
General Education Program.
While working on developing its structure
and operation, the EPC recognized the need to
formally include the GE Committee as part of
any policy change deliberation related to the
General Education Program. So, the EPC drafted
guidelines for submitting proposals to change
or introduce new All-College educational policy.
The Faculty Senate unanimously approved those
guidelines at its Oct. 11 meeting.
Now, any undergraduate all-College policy
proposal which the EPC considers to be a
General Education issue will be forwarded to the
GE Committee for a recommendation to the EPC.
The newly approved guidelines also identify
the scope of EPC operations, and specify campus
sources that are eligible to forward proposals to
the EPC, the manner in which the EPC seeks
campus input on proposals, general operating
procedures, and the nature of committee
responses to proposals.

Faculty-Staff Activities
Donna K. Anderson, performing arts emeritus,
delivered the keynote speech at a special series
of concerts devoted to American composer
Charles T. Griffes and his colleague French flutist
Georges Barrere, principal flutist of the New York
Symphony Orchestra (now the New York
Philharmonic) and founder of the Barrere
Ensemble devoted to contemporary music and
dance. Anderson spoke about the developing
avant-garde in New York City during the first two
decades of the 20th century, highlighting Griffes’
collaboration with Barrere, pianists Ferruccio
Busoni and Winifred Christie, singers Eva
Gauthier and Vera Janoco-pulos, dancers Adolf
Bolm and Michio Ito, composers Edgard Varese
and Arthur Farwell, conductors Pierre Monteux
and Leopold Stokowski, and Alice and Irene
Lewisohn, founders of the Neighborhood
Playhouse. The Griffes/Barrere concerts were
presented as part of the Maverick Concerts gala
90th anniversary season in Woodstock, N.Y., this
summer, the longest running chamber music
series in the U.S.
In addition, Anderson contributed the entry
on Griffes for The Encyclopedia of New York
State, published by Syracuse University Press
this summer.
Timothy J. Baroni, biological sciences, attended
the joint international meetings of the Mycological
Society of America and the Mycological Society
of Japan in Hilo, Hawaii, from July 30-Aug. 6,
where he presented one poster, was co-author
on a second poster and was co-author on one
symposium presentation. Baroni presented
“Arthrosporella, a Recently Rediscovered
Neotropical Genus, is Phylogenetically Related to
Termitomyces in the Lyophylleae” with co-authors
D. L. Czederpiltz, D. J. Lodge, V. Hofstetter, and
A. E. Franco-Molano. He was second author on
the poster “Fungi from a Lost World in Belize:
Doyle’s Delight” with Lodge and Czederpiltz.
Baroni was also one of 21 authors from the U.S.,
and other countries including Canada, China,
Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan and Sweden,
that presented pooled research data on “Progress
Towards Assembling the Tree of Life for the
Basidiomycota.” The oral presentation was given
by P. Brandon Matheny from Clark University
(Mass.), a postdoctoral colleague working in
David S. Hibbett’s laboratory.
Pete Ducey, biological sciences, and undergraduate co-authors Jamie Cerqua, Lori-Jeanne
West and Monica Warner, have been informed
that their manuscript “Rare Egg Capsule Production in the Invasive Terrestrial Planarian Bipalium
Kewense,” has been accepted for publication in
The Southwestern Naturalist. The manuscript
describes their observation of only the second
reported case in more than 100 years of study
of sexual reproduction in an otherwise asexuallyreproducing, invasive species of predatory flatworm. Recently, Ducey also gave an invited
presentation titled “Invasive Worms Clashing in
North American Soils” as part of the Asa Gray
Seminar Series at Utica College.
David Franke, English and professional writing,
recently had a paper accepted by the Conference
on College Composition and Communication
(CCCC) to be held next March in Chicago. He
will contribute to a panel on building professional
writing programs. The paper, “Wrecking a
Perfectly Good Curriculum,” argues for curriculum
(re)development as a scholarly activity, requiring
research and reflection.
Denise D. Knight, English, will present a paper
titled “Gilman in Maine” at the Fourth International
Conference on Charlotte Perkins Gilman in
Portland, Maine, in June 2006. She will also
preside over a plenary session on the conference
theme, “Gilman Then and Now.”
Robert Spitzer, political science, was interviewed
for an hour on Michigan Public Radio’s “Jack
Lessenberry Show” on Oct. 5 concerning gun
rights, the Second Amendment, and a bill currently
before the Michigan State Legislature to extend
the “castle doctrine” to the streets. Such a change
would allow citizens to meet force with force if
they felt themselves threatened in public places
instead of safely retreating. A similar law was
passed last spring in Florida.
Barbara Wisch, art and art history, chaired a
session titled “Luxury Items, Chapels and Castles
in Early Modern Europe,” at the 16th Century
Studies Conference, held in Atlanta Oct. 20-23.
She also serves on the executive council as the
representative of art history.
Arden Zipp, chemistry, presented a five-day institute on chemistry labs for 10 advanced placement
chemistry teachers at St. Johnsbury Academy in
St. Johnsbury, Vt. During the week the participants
carried out most of the 22 experiments recommended for AP chemistry students and also
had an opportunity to work on questions from
previous AP chemistry exams.
Literacy Graduate Students to
Present at Reading Conference
