This Day in History: 1901- First radio transmission sent across the Atlantic Ocean, Italian physicist and radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi succeeds in sending the first radio transmission across the Atlantic Ocean, disproving detractors who told him that the curvature of the earth would limit transmission to 200 miles or less. The message-simply the Morse-code signal for the letter "s"-traveled more than 2,000 miles from Poldhu in Cornwall, England, to Newfoundland, Canada.

Every year the Ithaca Student Council hosts an event to raise food for a local women's shelter in Richland Center called Passages. A tradition started more than 30 years ago with Bob Pilla, the high school English teacher, and the senior class in the early 1990s, this tradition has kept going because the shelter does depend on the generosity of the Ithaca community. Beginning December 15 and continuing until the 22nd, each Elementary, Middle, and High School class will compete against each other by bringing in donations of non-perishable food items or toiletries. Daily count totals will be tallied, and the winning class will receive a pizza party! More information will be coming home to families shortly.
