Ashley Engels lives on her family's alpaca farm, Angel Tree Farm. Last weekend she showed some of their livestock at a show in Syracuse, winning ribbons. This is her account of her experience.

We left for Pennsylvania on the 9th of September right after school. Five hours after we left, we arrived with the animals in our trailer. Then it was our turn to unload and check in our alpacas. When they were checking in the alpacas they had to check the color and length of their fleece.

 Ask IMO
Lansing's Advice Column
Dear IMO,
I need your advice on a very sensitive topic. Our mom suffers from dementia. For nearly two years, my sister and I have shared in her care along with private help from a home nursing agency. Her condition continues to decline. Within a few months, we will have to place our mom in a nursing facility. Both my sister and I feel terrible about this decision, but neither of us can care for her in our own homes. We have done our best to keep her in her own apartment for as long as physically and financially possible. Can you give us some advice as how we should proceed with her placement? Sincerely, Pamela

Lansing's Ithaca-Cayuga Rotary Club awarded Lyle Wadell its Distinguished Community Service Award last Tuesday (10/25) at a dinner at Dempsey's on East Shore Drive. President AnnMarie Hautaniemi presented the award after drinks and dinner at the well-attended event. She cited the Michigan native's accomplishments as manager for the Dairy Records Processing Labs for the New York State Dairy Herd improvement Cooperative, including his creation of a data base used to keep extensive records on cows. "In your relentless search for better ways of doing things," she said, "you led the transition of this logistical challenge from punch cards to optical scanners to computerized, Internet transmitted data entry and management."

Last week a group of Ithaca and Lansing area women and their children set about collecting a truckload of items to send to residents of hurricane-devastated Bayou La Batre, Alabama. The group calls itself Reachout 2000, and their goal was to literally fill a truck with items requested by the Alabama community.
This isn't the first time the group has helped those in need. "It started as a group of parents and grandparents who wanted to teach our children how to give to those in need," said Amelia Massi, one of the organizers. "We were in a prayer group that was ecumenical, many different faiths coming together, and in 1998 we did our first project. We've helped children. We found out about needs in Ecuador. That's when the banks failed and the kids needed food." |
