About

Here’s the Ithaca Minute from 14850 Today for September 12th. St. James AME Zion Church wants to make back-to-school easier for Ithaca families, and they’re offering free hair styles, free haircuts, and free school supplies to K-12 city youth at the church this Sunday afternoon. Hair must be washed before kids come, and masks must be worn for this first come, first served event. Only basic cuts and styles are available. The St. James AME Zion “1st Annual Back to School Event” is Sunday, September 13 from 1-4pm at 116 Cleveland Ave. in Ithaca. Walter J. Wiggins, a Cornell Law School alum who retired from his law career at the age of 90 and founded some of Ithaca’s most iconic hotels and restaurants, passed away Wednesday morning at the age of 95, according to his family. “Wally” and his partners and family opened La Tourelle and the adjacent L’Auberge du Cochon Rouge and John Thomas Steakhouse restaurants, and the Ramada Inn, now Hotel Ithaca, that was downtown Ithaca’s first high-rise hotel. And WVBR’s Bound for Glory this Sunday night features a rebroadcast of a 2018 performance by Michael Jerling with Tony Markelis.
