Dear IMO,
I'm a person who always sets out to keep the New Year's resolutions which I have made, but a few months into it, I seem to lose steam and just give in. Whether it's loosing weight or saving money, I can't stay on track for very long. Do you have any helpful hints to keep me on the straight and narrow?
Sincerely,
Robert
Dear Robert,
Millions of people make New Year's resolutions. People dream of being leaner, firmer, richer, happier, smarter, healthier, less stressed out, more motivated, less in debt, more well read, less fearful, and just about anything else imaginable. As the clock slowly approaches midnight on New Year's Eve, they raise their glasses of champagne, for some their last glass of alcohol, grab a stuffed mushroom, just one won't hurt, and for the next few days, possibly next few weeks, they are able to keep their resolutions.

Question: What does Lansing, New York have in common with Santa Barbara, California?
Answer: They are the only two places in the United States where you can get Diego's Chocolate, a unique, healthful treat made by hand in Guatemala.
If you think that bit of arcane trivia is interesting, the story of how the chocolate got here is even better. It involved joining a circus, and an unexpected Guatemalan journey that compelled two American women to solve a sweet mystery, and unexpectedly landed them in an international import startup that immediately turned a home based business into a world venture.
"It would connect us with Guatemala, which we are both in love with," says Lansing native Beth Hinderliter, who has partnered with circus colleague Lisa Han to sell the chocolate in the States. "I always told myself that I would go back, but I had no clue it would be with the circus or that I would be selling chocolate."

 RIck Vaughan
Rick leads the way with many hiking trips, campouts at Camp Barton, and summer camps at different Scout camps each year. Through his leadership, Troop 48 participates in the semi-annual Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast, decorates for the holidays at Woods Edge apartments, and does Adopt-A-Highway. His leadership has helped inspire many other people in the Lansing community to get involved with Troop 48.
Rick Vaughan has amazing knowledge of the outdoors to share with boys and other adults in Lansing. He works for Cornell Co-operative Extension and can share many things that are interesting and valuable. He knows all about trees and plants and is a real naturalist.

One of the most rigorous and difficult programs in scouting is to work towards the Wood Badge. Rick Vaughan completed all the requirements and was awarded this honor at a Troop 48 Court of Honor with a special ceremony on June 11, 2007.

 Judging chicken barbecue sauce at the 1st Baker Cup at Lansing Harbor Festival
Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stayed the first annual Lansing Harbor Festival. Despite a freak storm that literally snapped three telephone poles near the Lansing schools, and damage to tents that had been set up for the event, it was rescheduled for a week later and was a resounding success. The Lansing Community Council is already making plans for the second annual festival, scheduled for Saturday, August 23, 2008.
With the current controversy about the library vote it is easy to forget the triumphal reopening last February that gave Lansing its first look of the transformation from a dingy, crowded space to a full fledged library building. The $385,000 capital improvement project was entirely paid for by donations, meaning that when the library came up for a vote there was no mortgage or debt of any kind.
 The North Cabin
My favorite ongoing story is the sagea of Tompkins and Cayuga Counties' oldest log cabin and how it came home to Lansing this year. Originally built near Conlon and Searles Roads in 1749, it has been moved at least three times, and spent the last 50 years behind the Cayuga Museum in Auburn. This year it came home to Lansing, a fate that was anything but certain until Town councilman Bud Shattuck arranged to save it from demolition and the Lansing Highway Department dissembled and brought it back home. It has yet to be reassembled in a new location to be determined this winter.
