"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.

 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 plane was coming in for a landing 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, or something hit a house, and then the fuselage, with only the pilot on board, came to rest in the front yard of a house there.

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.

Triphammer Road has been undergoing a major renovation throughout the summer, and there is a lot more to be done. With Winter getting closer, "What you see is what you get," says resident engineer Byron Hall of Fisher Associates. "We're about 35% done with the project according to the monies that have been paid to the contractor so far."
It looks like the construction will be completed at the end of next summer. Work was held up for a while because the utility companies did not do their work when scheduled. Other work depended on the utilities being moved. But the project would have finished nest year anyway. "We had a late start to begin with," says Mr. Hall.
