Meet the School Board Candidates
Dan Veaner   
Friday, 16 May 2008
About a dozen people came to meet the Lansing Board Of Education candidates at an event sponsored by the Lansing PTSO Monday night.  Glenn Swanson is running for a second term, while Bonita Lindberg and Tom Keane are vacating their school board seats.  Richard Thayler and Glenn Cobb are running for those positions. Thayler was unable to attend because of a prior commitment, but he sent Richard Prybyl to stand in for him, reading prepared statements and attempting to answer questions as best he could.

PTSO President Kay Thomas moderated the event, giving each candidate three minutes for statements and answers to questions from the public.   While not many district residents attended the event, attendance was actually good, especially considering that the election is uncontested.  That raises a red flag for Superintendent Stephen Grimm, who worries that an uncontested school board race will mean lower attendance at the polls next Tuesday, which could make passing the proposed budget difficult.  He stressed the importance of voting even when school board seats are uncontested.

PALS: A Visit to Mbaka Oromo School

A Lansing Family Traverses a War Zone to Visit Lansing's Partner School

Harold and Cindy van Es conceived of Partnership of African and Lansing Schools (PALS) four years ago, so it was inevitable that they would visit the school.  Over this school year's holiday break they finally got to do that along with daughter Marlene, and sons Martin and Pieter.  The trip was a bit more than they bargained for when they found themselves traversing a war zone in Western Kenya.  While there they met with Principal William Kabbis, the school board, families, students, and staff at the school.  A few weeks ago the Lansing Star sat down with Harold and Cindy as they recounted their adventure.

Lansing Harriers Run Well at Ithaca Relays
David Ames   
Friday, 16 May 2008
ImageThe chance to compete against top notch competition came early this year for Lansing Boys and Girls track and field teams at the always competitive Ithaca Relays.

Nineteen quality programs from around Central New York, including Section 3 powerhouses Tully and Westhill High School came out to run last Friday with the best in Section 4.

Leading the way for the Lansing Boys was the Distance Medley Relay (DMR) comprised of Henry Potter (800m) Ken Tillapaugh (400m) Josh Barber (1200m) and Eddy Potter (1600m)  They teamed up to finish 4th in 10:54.6.  Their time is believed to be the fastest DMR run since 2003 and the 2nd fastest ever in Lansing history.  The three teams ahead of them (Binghamton, Tully, Corning) all placed highly at the NYS Cross Country Championships this fall.  Lansing continues to gain ground on the best of the best which is a sure sign that their hard work is starting to pay off.

Cayuga Radio Group Honors 20 Outstanding Women

News Director Geoff Dunn presents award to the Hangar Theatre's Lisa Bushlow
In an area as diverse as ours it shouldn't be surprising that there are a large number of accomplished women from every background or walk of life.  The surprise at last week's Cayuga Radio Group's Women's Expo 2008 was the depth of inspiration gained as this year's class of '20 Outstanding Women You Should Know' had their stories told. "What I think is amazing about this year's class, not that last year's class didn't have the same qualities... but we had a broader spectrum of women this year," says Cayuga Radio group's News Director Geoff Dunn.  "Geographically, diversity-wise, women from all walks of life and professional standing.  That's fabulous."

The Expo took over the TC3 Sports Complex on May 8th.  Area businesses had booths around the space where they could showcase their goods and services.  But the real focus of the evening was two presentations, each honoring ten women.  Honorees were escorted onto the stage by tuxedoed radio hosts and presented with flowers and a plaque as their nominating letters were read.  Then each woman gave a brief speech.
