As you drive into the Village of Lansing you probably notice the green signs by the side of the road, and the flower boxes that are mounted on them. They are part of an effort to give the village an identity as a unique and agreeable municipality. Village Trustee Lynn Leopold plants them and coordinates their maintenance. "I like getting my hands in the dirt, and that's very satisfying," she says.
The signs are new, and were designed with a seagull and trees to make the Village seem more distinctive. "We've been trying to find an identity for years," explains ms. Leopold. Some people who live here don't even realize they live in a village. They're totally confused. They say 'Oh I thought this is Ithaca, because that's on my address.' But we are a village, and try to behave like a village and treat our village residents as if they belong to us."

 Last Monday Barbara Morse's Kindergarten class visited the Lansing Community Library Center. Susan Rosenkoetter (Miss Susan) and Lyle Wadell (Mr. Lyle) were there to greet them and treat them to what, for some, was their first experience at the library. "We've been doing it for a couple of years," says Ms. Rosenkoetter. All of the Elementary classes make it to the library at some point in the year. "Almost every student in the Lansing Elementary School should have a library card.""Miss Susan" started with a tour, taking the class through the two big stacks rooms, showing them where things are. She explained that before it was a library it was a Lansing school, and then it became the Town Hall. "We've only been here four years," she told the class, " and we only started out with a couple of books. But look at all the books we have now! Do you know we have ten thousand books?"

If you ask Lansing residents what their favorite part of Election Day is, they might tell you it is eating at the North Lansing Fire Hall. The tradition has been part of Lansing life, probably for a century. It began more than 80 years ago. "My mother is going to be 95, and she started to help her mother (with the dinners) when she was 14 years old," says Irene Tyrrell, now the driving force behind the event.

The privilege of voting is one of the sweet things about living in America. The Lansingville Auxiliary made it just a bit sweeter last Tuesday (10/08) with an Election Day bake sale at Fire Hall #3, way North on 34B (Ridge Road). Voters and passers by stopped by all day to purchase home made cookies, cakes, fudge and pies. The Lansingville Auxiliary is smaller than the North Lansing Auxiliary, their larger counterpart to the East, but they are quite active. They run their bake sale to raise money for scholarships, and they make quilts for local fire victims, working with the Fire Department to identify recipients. They also assist victims in any way they can, providing food, or money.

 Hello I am Calvin , an adult neutered male. I used to be a stray but I’m a great cat I’m a curious cat (I know, I know curiosity killed the cat but there is more to the saying: satisfaction brought him back). I like to be pet on the head instead of my back. Pretty please adopt me now.
