 SMART TALK
By Dr. Shirley Glibb
GREAT BIG: Descriptions such as great big, big huge, and great big gigantic are so obviously redundant as to seem no more worth complaining about than round circle. However, such juvenile speech can become a serious disease in later years.
At the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, I sometimes find myself treating this particularly frustrating form of cerebroporosis. It seems most common in children, whom I don’t treat, but those whom their parents didn’t correct become my patients as adults.
The opposing redundancies are just as nasty to cure: little tiny, small little, and teeny tiny, as in teeny tiny little minds.
Sorry for that last, but hearing symptoms of cerebroporosis so often gives me a big headache.

"Seussical The Musical" is about the power of imagination and belief in yourself. Lansing High School's musical will be familiar and wondrous, as the boy Jojo (played by a girl, Keelin Davis), son of Mr. and Mrs. Mayor of Whoville, is propelled through Theodore Seuss Geisel's beloved stories. The show features the Cat in the Hat (Andy Mowson), the Jungle of Nool, the Sour Kangaroos and the Wickersham Brothers, the earnest elephant Horton and a school of colorful fish.

 02/17/2006 -- Last Friday local film luminaries traversed the red carpet for the premiere of their new movies. Eleven seventh and eighth grade filmmakers actually walked over a little strip of red carpet as they and their families entered the Young Filmmakers Screening at Lansing Middle School.
Lansing Youth Services's Micaela Cook runs the Young Filmmakers program. "They came up with a script together for a live action movie that they shot together," she says. "They edited it individually on the computers in the High School." The students used a digital video camera to film about 30 minutes of scenes they all acted in. After capturing the scenes on a computer, each edited his or her own film differently, putting together scenes in unique ways."

I have a confession to make. I have been told by more than a few Lansing people over the years that King Ferry Hotel has good food, especially their Friday fish fry. Until this year (January to be exact), I had never taken a moment to step foot in there and follow their friendly advice. What my husband and I found was a fine collection of culinary talent combined with the grace and warmth of old-fashioned ‘hospitality’. Distilled to its essence you find quality: fresh delightful tastes, good value, and excellent service. I regret the years of lost opportunity. The King Ferry Hotel is situated at the crossroads of Routes 34B & 90. It was originally built in the late 1820’s, suffered serious fire damage, and was rebuilt to its present configuration around 1840. Anne and Pat Miller found this charming old building for sale some 13 years ago and concluded it was the perfect place to establish a restaurant. As part of their commitment to the community, they have used only local craftsmen and laborers. The Miller’s, originally from the Aurora area, now live in Lansing with their three lovely children: Patricia-13, Margot -8, and Lansing-6. Every member of their family works in the business in some manner, whether it is creating entrees, flipping burgers, mixing dough, waiting tables, or managing the finances.
