The Village of Lansing election is scheduled for April 22 at the Oakcrest Road Firehouse. Two seats are open: John O'Neill is running for a third term as Village trustee, and Julia Ann Kilgore Baker is running to fill the seat to be vacated by Trustee Frank Moore.
Last week the Lansing Star spoke to O'Neill about his candadacy ( Click Here for interview), and this week we feature an interview with Baker. Julia Ann Kilgore Baker is running unopposed to fill Village of Lansing Trustee Frank Moore's seat when he steps down this month. She has lived in the Village with her husband Shefford and their two children, a daughter now in college, and a son who is currently a Junior at Ithaca High School, for ten years. With a background in computers and software development, she is currently the General Manager of ATC New York, a company specializing in Computer security research and development, information management, and computer forensics based at the Cornell Technology Park, located in the Village near the airport.
Baker says that she brings her skills as a manager and her involvement
in the community as credentials to be a Trustee. With both her
children nearly out of the house, she says she now has the time and
desire to give back to the Village community. "I'm at a point in my
life now where I am interested in giving back to the community," she
says. "My children are at a point where they are getting ready to
leave home and I am looking at the next chapter."

The Village of Lansing election is scheduled for April 22 at the Oakcrest Road Firehouse. Two seats are open: John O'Neill is running for a third term as Village trustee, and Julia Ann Kilgore Baker is running to fill the seat to be vacated by Trustee Frank Moore. This week the Lansing Star spoke to O'Neill about his candadacy, and next week we'll feature an interview with Baker.
On April 22 John O'Neill will almost certainly be reelected for a third term as Village of Lansing Trustee. He is running unopposed for his seat, which he has held for two thirds of the six years he has lived with his wife Germaine in the Village of Lansing. He has two sons, one in San Francisco, and another in this area, and a step daughter in New York City. O'Neill works from his home as a consultant for the Federal Highway Administration's technology exchange program. He coordinates the international visits for transportation engineers from all over the state, and his job involves a good deal of travel, which he says he enjoys.

 Paloma Capanna
Paloma's wonderfully spirited and community focused campaign shows what an effective legislator she will be."
Capanna was in Lansing at the end of September last year when she kicked off her campaign with a 150 mile walk across the 54th district. Starting from her Webster home base, she finished the walk at Myers Park. Lansing is the southern-most town in the district. "We have the most beautiful senate district in the State of New York," Capanna says. "I will say that from now until the end of time, because it is the Fingerlakes Region and it is the shores of Lake Ontario and everything in between."

  Democratic candidate for State Senate Paloma Capanna finsished a 150 mile walk in Myers Park yesterday to kick off her challenge to Michael F. Nozzolio, who is running for his ninth term in Albany.
A small gathering greeted Paloma with applause and a cake as she walked to her final destination, a pavilion decorated with red, white, and blue bunting. "I'm running because I want a better future than the one we have on our present course." Capanna says. "We need certain issues to be addressed and addressed now. They should have been worked on across the last three decades -- they weren't. This is not what I want to pass on to my step-son."
 Lansing Democratic Committee Chairman Greg Lawrence met Paloma Capanna at the entrance to Myers Park to walk the final distance with her
