 "My Mother was asleep. I said, Mommy I see smoke," says four year old Blake Hunter. It was 1:15am Thursday (10/21) and Meredith Sears was sound asleep when a short circuit in her electric stove started a fire. Blake ran to her room, put clothes against the bottom of the door to keep the smoke out and woke up his mother.It wasn't easy waking her up, but he persisted until she understood there was a problem. "I opened the door and the rest of the house was dark. I could see the glow and hear the crackle of the fire," she says. She put the fire out, then got a neighbor to take Blake while she called the Fire Department.

The Lansing Community Library Center (LCLC) wants to become a School District Chartered Library. This is the next stage in the library's development, which will move it to a tax-supported entity if the voters approve it in May of 2006. "This is something we've always wanted to do," says Chartering Committee Chairman Cliff Buck, "but when we started New York State was not entertaining any new charters. They began doing so about a year later. This is a window of opportunity, so we're actually doing it sooner than we expected."

In mammoth back to back sessions the Lansing Board of Education (BOE) conducted two workshops Monday night (10/17) before their regular school board meeting. The workshops included architects and engineers, project managers and financial consultants who are involved in developing the proposed phase II Capital Project. Also attending was Interim Superintendent Tiffany Phillips as well as the newly appointed Superintendent Mark Lewis.
Phase II addresses many needs the district has identified. Most urgent among them are new High School science classrooms and safety and security updates. As it stands the price tag for the base project will be about $32 million, depending on what the BOE decides should be included in the final package, which is subject to approval by voters. Also on the drawing board are a High School auditorium and a district-wide IP based security and phone system, both being considered for separate referendums to allow voters to decide whether they want to support these items.

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.
