Early in July the Star met with Ed Redmond, the Lansing School District's Athletic Director. We talked about the program, the school, the teams and all aspects of the Athletic Program. This is part one of a three part series.

When you enter Ed Redmond's office he is warm and welcoming. There are trophies on display, and it is obvious that he is proud of the students who play on the teams. He is very positive about people, always looking for something encouraging to say. It is clear he knows the district and the program he has managed for nine years.

Jane Sheldon, Lansing Library volunteer, checks out the first copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to AJ Newman on Saturday morning.  He and his mother Lisa Newman had attended the Summer Reading Program Vaudeville Show prior to stopping in the library.  All copies of this new book were circulated before noon and a waiting list was started.

The reconstruction of Triphammer Road is going slower than planned.  For a project this big some overages are to be expected.  The problem seems to be with the utility companies.  All began late, possibly pushing the finishing date into next year.

The federally funded project will transform the Village portion of Triphammer Road into a three lane road with North and South lanes and a center turning lane.  Bicycle paths and sidewalks will line both sides of the road.  In addition  water, sewer and storm sewer work is being done, and NYSEG has installed new utility poles.

I am a neutered male husky who was found as a stray back in January. You might remember me because when I was found it was discoverd that I needed knee surgery on my back legs. Well, I have had the surgery I needed and have spent time recouperating in a wonderful foster home. I am now ready to start the search for my forever family. I still have some physical restrictions but otherwise I am a happy, healthy boy who is very sweet and loving. If you think you can make the commitment to keeping me fit and healthy come say "hi".
