Village Evaluates Deer Population Control
by Dan Veaner   
Friday, 05 March 2010
ImageThe Village of Lansing may seem like an unlikely home for deer, but the deer population there has decimated forested lands there.  Despite a population control program instituted three years ago, the deer have continued to devour new forest growth, seriously threatening the future of wooded Village lands.  This week Dr. Bernd Blossey and Dr. Jay Boulanger were at the Village Trustees meeting to make recommendations for improving the program.

"In my opinion the deer problem in Lansing surpasses what's happening on the Cornell campus, based on my observation," Boulanger  said.  "On the Cornell campus area we have about 100 deer, but what I've seen as a hunter in Lansing is absolutely unbelievable.  At times I've had 20 deer walk by me within minutes."

Fire Station Addition Delayed
by Dan Veaner   
Friday, 05 March 2010
ImageAfter voters approved a 2.3 million addition and renovation of Lansing Central Fire Station in September fire commissioners expected the $2.3 million project would be ready to go out to bid shortly after the first of the year.  Over the past month or two they have showed some restraint in expressing frustration as the project has been stalled in paperwork.

"That's how we were going to do it," Fire Commissioner Jeff Walters says.  "There's more red tape than we can shake a stick at.  If you had this when you build a house you'd never build a house."

'Cats' Opens at Lansing High School
by -Staff   
Friday, 05 March 2010
ImageThey say it's impossible to herd cats.  If that's true audiences next week will witness a miracle when 47 Lansing High School students perform the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical 'Cats, based on T.S. Elliot's 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.'  The show features many show-stopper songs and a lot of dancing.

"It's very Webberish," says director Cindy Howell.  "It's a definite style of music, but it's also very exciting.  Every number has its own special thing.  That was one of the reasons I picked 'Cats.'  We have 47 kids, 20 of which in any other school would be their lead.  We have a lot of really talented kids in this show, and 'Cats' has a lot of different 'lead' numbers, so there are a lot of different things that kids were able to create."

Stegosaurus Spotted in Lansing
by -Staff   
Friday, 05 March 2010

For those of us who have been disappointed in global warming this winter, the cold spell has brought at least one unusual discovery.  This rather large frozen stegosaurus was spotted in front of the Leathers/Cundy residence in Lansing the other day.  While some scientists think dinosaurs became extinct because of a severe ice age, it is clear that this cold winter has brought at least one back.
