10/07 - Around four o'clock in the afternoon a small plane crashed into a neighborhood on Reach Run, off of East Shore Circle. The small Mooney aircraft was attempting to land at Tompkins-Ithaca Regional Airport after flying over the lake in heavy fog. It came in too low, clipping a tree with one wing, which broke off the plane. The other wing hit the Mirrsepassi home, and then the fuselage, with only the pilot on board, came to rest in the front yard.

"It's the calm before the storm." So says Lansing Town Supervisor Stephen Farkas, referring to the upcoming public meeting on the Algerine / Lansing Station Road water district extension. The controversial proposal pits less affluent residents along Algerine Road against their Lansing Station Road neighbors who want town water.
In fact some of them may need town water as the Health Department found evidence of crypto sporidia in at least one area well. When crypto sporidia contaminates a well you can get food poisoning-like symptoms from drinking the water. That is the bad news.

On Wednesday night (9/28) victims of air disasters were rescued from planes at the Tompkins-Ithaca airport in Lansing. At least seven fire departments responded, as well as several ambulance services. All units were coordinated by the Airport Fire Department, a ten man department whose jurisdiction extends to the airport and planes that land there.
This was all part of a disaster drill. The FAA mandates that airport fire departments conduct a full scale drill every three years. Volunteers play the role of victims, while the responders test their readiness, coordination and ability to rescue passengers in a disaster.
