 When Lansing votes on the school budget this May two school board seats will also be on the ballot. Board of Education (BOE) members David Dittman and Michael Cheatham's three year terms are up this year. Lansing School Superintendent Stephen Grimm says the district is looking for candidates.
"This is probably a good time for me to let the public know I am not seeking reelection," Cheatham told the board. "I'm done. Three years was good."

 The Hagedorn Fund recently awarded $45,000 to Wells College. Of this gift, $30,000 was designated to support the purchase of equipment for the physiology laboratory. Additionally, $15,000 towards the College’s annual fund will immediately benefit the College’s daily operations.
Physiology, the study of the function of organisms, is an integral part of the biology curriculum at Wells. Courses promote learning by practice and emphasize hands-on laboratory learning. Understanding physiology is critical for students entering the health professions, and the planned purchase of laptops, treadmills, and equipment kits for measuring oxygen and carbon dioxide in exhaled breath will allow students to investigate the connections between metabolism, diet, and exercise.
