You probably saw but just in case, the piece did appear in the Ithaca Journal last Wednesday under +Recent News". (I only saw it today during an online search) Nice succinct blurb on ST also.

I plan to come...in fact it's a looked-forward to priority. 

Sylvester's website for anyone new who might not have it is www.climatehealth.net
