Development May Mean Lakefront Park for Village
by Dan Veaner   
Friday, 05 February 2010
ImageTwo public hearings were held Monday to accept the conveyance of two roads to the Village of Lansing in the Bolton Estates subdivision.  Village Trustees accepted the roads subject to legal requirements to do with warranty and other requirements being met.  This opens the door to the possibility of a new Village park, but the history of Bolton Point complicate matters somewhat.  Poison Ivy Point will be conveyed to the Village, but access to the small promontory is complicated.  The Village and the Bolton Point Water Commission have begun talking about conveying a third road to the Village as a walking trail to the point, but access across the railroad tracks may be difficult to obtain.

"I see this as an initial step," says Mayor Donald Hartill.  "At the end of this episode we may begin to explore access with the railroad what it would cost to have pedestrian access across that track."

Legislature Delays Vote on AES Cayuga PILOT
by Marcia E. Lynch   
Friday, 05 February 2010
ImageThe Legislature has delayed consideration of support for revising the 20-year Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement between the County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) and the AES Cayuga power generating facility to provide more time for citizens to obtain information on the proposal. 

Lansing Legislator Pat Pryor requested postponement of the vote until the Legislature’s February 16 meeting, saying that she has received, and is continuing to receive, many questions about the proposed revision, and would like additional time to ensure that those who would be affected have their questions addressed.

Celebration Will Kick Off New Lansing Playground Project
by Dan Veaner   
Friday, 05 February 2010
ImageOn the heels of its success in raising money to reassemble Lansing's historic 1791 log cabin, the Lansing Community Council is taking on a more ambitious project to replace the playground in Myers Park.  While the Community Council aims to raise $130,000 for the project, that is not its only goal.  Council members hope to involve the whole community in the design and building of its playground, which it is calling MP3 (Myers Park Playground Project).  To get things started the group is hosting a community celebration.

"I think it's a fun way to bring people together," says Charmagne Rumgay, an MP3 committee member and Town employee .  "The children really benefit in the end.  They have a fun place to play.  They need a place to play to be able to grow, and this is a great opportunity to bring that together."

Scouts Streak to the Finish Line
by Dan Veaner   
Friday, 05 February 2010
ImageIt may not have been NASCAR, but the track in Lansing was packed Saturday -- Pack 48, to be exact.  Of course the Lansing Elementary School Cafeteria was the scene of Pack 48's annual Pinewood Derby.  The race features cars made from blocks of pine by cub scouts racing on the Lansing pack's special track.  The excitement rivaled that at any NASCAR race.

The Lansing pack also hosted Pack 55 from Ithaca and the Lansing 4H group at the end of January for the second year in a row.

Ithaca Bakery Purchases Hope's Way
by Dan Veaner   
Friday, 05 February 2010
ImageFoodies may have been disappointed when Hope's Way closed its doors last month.  They will be happy to know that the popular restaurant and catering company isn't entirely going away.  It was purchased at the end of January by Brous & Mehaffey, which owns the Ithaca Bakery and Collegetown Bagles.  The new owners plan to move their current Triphammer Mall store into the Hope's Way space and to incorporate favorite foods from the restaurant into their menu.

"We're very excited about it," says Ramsey Brous.  "We purchased the recipes, the customer lists and such.  We are certainly very interested in wanting to please the people who patronized Hope's Way.  Part of what that means is taking a look at what specific things we can incorporate into our repertoire that are important to her customers."
