 Every year Lansing's branch of the Rotary Club, The Ithaca-Cayuga Rotary, tries to host an exchange student, and to send one abroad. This year the club is hosting Ryszard Jarmuszewski of Torun, Poland, a 17 year old who is attending Lansing High School this year. He spent the first part of his stay with the Garnett family and will be moving in with Dennis Mogill's family this month. The Rotary club is looking for a third family, if they can find one, to house Richard for the last portion of his stay. "It's a wonderful program, says the Lansing club's president, AnnMarie Hautaniemi. Ryszard, known as Richard to his American friends, is outgoing and friendly. This is his first visit to the United States. He is interested in sports and has joined the Lansing High School wrestling team. At home he has participated in such sports as basketball, field hockey, hunting, skiing and martial arts, among others. He also plays saxophone, and he brought his along with him so he could play while he is here. He misses his dog, Bols, who is holding down the fort in Poland while he is away.

When cats come to the Tompkins County SPCA, they are often pregnant. Newborn kittens are much too young to be adopted, and the shelter is not the ideal place for newborn litters. Area animal lovers volunteer to foster the kittens until they are old enough to be adopted.
Donna Scott is a Lansing woman who has regularly fosters kittens for over three years. "What I'm doing helps the animals," she says. "They all get neutered and spayed. I can enjoy the kittens a lot while I have them, but then I take them back and they get good homes."

 Ask IMO
Lansing's Advice Column
Dear IMO,
I am an 11 year old young man who lives in Lansing, and I have a question for you. Do parents ever stop parenting? My buddies and I have been asking each other that same question, and none of us has an answer. What do you say? Thanks, Paul

 The rare luxury of browsing through a bookstore, with no purchase or subject in mind, sometimes brings surprising results. For instances, I found many answers to a long pondered question "Is it just a creative surge or is it true spirituality I feel when doing any kind of fiber craft?" in two books by Susan Gordon Lydon. In the introduction of the book "Knitting Heaven and Earth", Mrs. Lydon writes "I had a hunch that this seemingly simply and inscrutable activity [knitting] that had brought me so much pleasure and wisdom and sustained generations of women before me might have far more to it than met the eye... the practice of handcraft, and the journey toward mastery of craft, had provided women with profound spiritual nourishment that had for the most part remained a secret part of their inner lives."

 If you happen to be watching the Food Channel next Thursday (12/08 at 8:00 pm TW Cable channel 44) and think you recognize people and locations on Emeril show, you'll be right. Lansing Middle School English teacher Stacie Kropp and her students are appearing on the "Emeril's Holiday Cookie Contest" episode, which will also be airing throughout December. Last year Ms. Kropp was one of four winners out of 1500 entries. She invented the recipe about five years ago, and likes to make it for friends. When she decided to enter the contest last year she realized she needed a name for it, so she held a contest for her sixth graders. The class that made up the best name would get a batch of the cookies, baked by their teacher. The sixth period class won the cookies, dubbing them "Winter Fresh Fudge Bars."
