Good morning, Ithaca.

Tompkins County farmers markets are expanding their hours after late April rain.

The Ithaca Farmers Market now runs Saturday at Steamboat Landing and adds Sunday at the market pavilion and Wednesday at East Hill from this week, while Trumansburg and Freeville markets return outdoors with seasonal events.

Large crowds lined up early Saturday for the Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library Spring Book Sale at the Esty Street warehouse, where over 230,000 donated items are on sale.

The event runs three weekends (10:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.) and benefits local literacy programs.

On Friday, Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff backed his car into a student after an Israel-Palestine debate event on campus, prompting campus police and EMS to respond and the student to report a sore, possibly fractured foot (a hairline fracture is suspected).

The Ithaca Voice’s weekly podcast Backstory returns Tuesday, May 5, with shorter (15- to 20-minute) episodes that focus on one main story and offer a news roundup.

The relaunch follows strong listener feedback and promises fresh audio reporting on local issues.

Cornell researcher Yicong Fu is studying how natural movements seen in fish and hands can solve engineering problems.
