One the one hand the "Fast Track" search could yield a permanent School Superintendent quickly who will hunker down and lead the district with consistent, log-term planning and vision. On the other hand, taking the time to "do it right" will insure that the right person is matched with the district. Or will it? Both arguments seem reasonable, but the last three searches were conventional ones and we are left again without a superintendent. It has been argued that trying a new approach can't yield worse results than the conventional one has in the past. |

 A September 1911 article in a newspaper reports that John V. McIntyre wanted to sell the county the hotel, for $30,000 to be made over into a county hospital. He thought the hotel would make an ideal structure for a central, administrative building. The five acres of land would become a garden for light employment of patients or employees. |

(Editor's note: For over four years Matthew and Aline Shulman published the Lansing Community News. We are honored that Matthew agreed to write this editorial for our first issue.)
After an absence of nearly five years, Lansing once again has a home-grown, community newspaper of record.
From 1996-2000, the Lansing Community News did its level-best to deliver thorough, accurate and unbiased news coverage of Lansing issues and events; to offer features that captured the spirit of our people and their lives; and to venture editorial commentary that sought respectful common ground even when remarking about contentious issues.

Publishing a newspaper is no small task. But nobody prepared me for how much fun it would be. During the months that Karen and I have been building the Lansing Star, it has already brought many rewards. Now that we are publishing weekly issues, I have been reflecting on what we hope to accomplish. First and foremost we hope the Star will become, in Karen's words, "an on-line Main Street" for our community. We've lived in Lansing for about 18 years, and the Star is one way of giving back to the community. We intend to cover all aspects of Lansing, a task I hope isn't too ambitious for a Mom and Pop outfit. We plan to give back to the community whenever we can. In addition to featuring the community every week, this will take the form of a scholarship for a graduating High School Senior who has an interest in journalism or online publishing, contributions to local efforts whenever we can, taking on young Lansing people as interns and providing a forum for the community that is welcoming and available. We are thrilled to have volunteer writers of all ages, including several Middle School students and adults from different corners of the community, contributing news, columns and humor. |

Dear Editor, Technology has brought many great things to this world. We can talk to anyone, anywhere and we can explore never before seen worlds light years away. It has also allowed us to buy and sell goods which we have never seen from people we will never meet. Of course there has to be a certain amount of mutual trust for this to be successful. People find it much easier to break this trust over the phone or internet where there is no face to face meeting. It is all to easy to pretend you are someone else on the internet. |
