 Kingdom Farm
As dreams are made on and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
When Shakespeare wrote those lines nearly 400 years ago he could have been talking about a planning board meeting where dreams of the future appear to local residents. Lansing's Planning Board considered such dreams Monday when representatives of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society came to talk about possible futures for Kingdom Farm. |

 The votes were counted after the polls closed at 9pm Tuesday, and when the dust had settled the $22 million 2007-2008 Lansing School budget and $362,000 for school busses had been approved by the voters. After a whirlwind week in which one candidate dropped out, a new candidate who replaced her got the top number of votes for one of two open school board seats, and the incumbent lost her bid for another term.
But the news wasn't good for the Lansing Community Library Center, which lost its bid to become an independent library by 32 votes. "It's incredibly disappointing," says Library Chairperson Marlaine Darfler. "We went back after (the vote count) and were looking at this gorgeous building. It's paid for with the doors open, ready to go. We though, 'Oh my God, we can't lock this place up!' But people also have to realize we can't continue trucking along. We will truck along, but at a much slower speed."

 Emily Powers
Powers is a graduate student who is finishing her MA in Landscape Architecture at Cornell in the next few weeks. The Washington, DC native was enlisted by Town Envoronmental Planner Darby Kiley and Horticulture Professor Tom Whitlow to develop a planting strategy for the project. "This is a great, productive town-gown interaction," Kiley says. "She has been working with me and Tom Whitlow, who has been involved for quite a few years, and we've tried to find students to do things there."

 County Administrator Stephen Whicher to Retire
After seven years as Tompkins County Administrator, Steve Whicher tonight told the County Legislature that this year with the County will be his last. The Administrator announced his intent to retire by the middle of next year.
Mr. Whicher said, “I would like to announce my intent to retire between March and June of 2008. When I was appointed to this position, I felt that the transition was made more difficult because there was a lack of attention paid to the planning. Thus, I am providing you with this extended notice, with the hope that an inclusive process and smooth transition will result.”
