The way was paved to build a Kinneys Drug Store at the Triphammer Mall Tuesday, when the Village of Lansing Planning Board approved a special permit and environmental review. Kinneys will be the first store as you enter the complex, where the former Home Works furniture store was located.

With health care and the economy at crisis proportions, Ithaca Oral Surgeon Scott Noren has decided to do something about it. Next year he will challenge U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the Democratic primary leading up to the 2012 election. Noren's top issues are fixing health care and campaign finance reform, which he says are inextricably linked.
"Health care is one of the top issues, but it's married intimately with campaign finance reform," he says. "The insurance lobby has its clutches on the Congress and Senate. Nothing meaningful will happen until you get rid of lobby money."

That freedom of communication that the Internet offers is exactly what attracted Lightlink 's Homer Smith and Jane Staller to the Internet over a decade ago, and to provide access to the Tompkins County community.
"I love getting people into communication with each other," Smith says. "It's very subversive. I love allowing them to be a publisher and empowering them."
