Dan SegalMost gardeners peruse some green websites, read some kind of gardening magazines, or scan the home and garden section in newspapers. For the last several years grasses have enjoyed high profile status. Unless you have 'issues' with the grasses, you've probably either considered planting some, or even tried a few. Recently I spoke with two gardeners in the same day, both of whom had horror stories of grasses behaving badly--one running amok, the other going awry... What I gathered was that their bad grass experiences left them fearfully assuming all grasses were destined to spread indefinitely, overtaking every living thing before moving on to devour the inanimate foundations of garage, home and neighborhood.

Dear Rick,
This is a tricky one. An exit interview, sometimes called exit survey, is a meeting between a representative from a company's human resources department (HR) and a departing employee. The departing employee usually has voluntarily resigned (as in your case) rather than getting laid off or fired. The HR rep might ask the employee questions while taking notes, asks the employee to complete a questionnaire, or the interview may be a combination of both.

Pet of the WeekHi there! I’m Serena, a female dog. I am full of fun and play and am very loveable. I need someone to teach me manners because I was a stray and don’t have very many. Everyone say’s that I’m a loveable girl. The only thing is that I love kitties a little too much so I probably shouldn’t have any near me. Please come to the S.P.C.A. and meet me, I’m sure you’ll fall in love!

Parables, stories told to illustrate religious ideas, have been around since Biblical times, so their use by is in keeping with the custom many faiths use in teaching and reaching out to the community. That is the reason “Parables in the Park” is being held every Wednesday night through August 9 at Lansing’s Meyers Point Park by Trinity Lutheran Church of Ithaca. This is the first year Trinity has held evening services at Meyers, though a well-attended Easter service at Stewart Park in Ithaca is an annual event. It, too, is a reaching out and a successful one at that: about half the attendance is customarily from the community at large.

And remember- a book donated to the Lansing Library has three chances to be of service. First chance: it may go on the shelves to be a part of the library inventory. Second chance: it goes into the book sale and makes $$ for the library. Third chance: it goes downtown to the Friends of the TCPL book sale, where it may make money for the library system as a whole.

Happy Anniversary!With this issue the Lansing Star is one year old. While the Star began "sporatic reporting" in April of 2005 with a story about the resignation of School Superintendent Corliss Kaiser, our first regular issue appeared July 22. One of the top stories was the approval by the Town Board of the Cingular Cell Tower at the corner of Conlon and Searles Roads. Another covered the Town Board's debate about granting benefits for employees who are in non-traditional couples.
