About Town - March 28, 2013
That was really a nice snow; of course, the roads were icy and several things were cancelled, but we got some much-needed moisture. In the square dancing world, there were three out-of-state callers in the area, and half of their dances were cancelled. Dean Doberman of Norfolk, NE, spent the weekend with Gary and Nell Coffey, with his Saturday night dance in Ft. Collins cancelled; he then traveled for a dance in Colorado Springs on Sunday; but square dances in Greeley, Bennett, and a couple in Denver were also cancelled.

Aaachoo!
Dr. Sara Hart, ND, LAc
Our blustery days and lighter mornings are a sure sign that spring is just around the corner. For some, this is such a season of excitement with greater ease of outdoor adventure. For others, it’s a season better off missed due to the misery of allergy symptoms.
Over-the-counter allergy medication works well for some individuals to reduce the significance of allergy symptoms. Itching, water eyes, sneezing, runny noses and fatigue are all irritating aspects of seasonal allergies. Year after year, symptoms persist and with long-term antihistamine use, they tend to get worse.

Dobro Queen of Lyons
By Lyons Bluesologist, David McIntyre
I think we sometimes overlook the artists among us here in Lyons. Sally Van Meter is a true artist in many different ways. Already a Grammy Award winning Dobro player, she is quickly becoming a wonderful filmmaker.
As music fans have often asked me, “What exactly is a Dobro?” I feel a quick definition is necessary. A Dobro is an acoustic guitar with a metal resonator built into its body. This resonator acts as an amplifier. John Dopyera invented it in the early 1930s. Dopyera and his brother struck out in the late 20’s in search of a way to create a louder guitar. The brothers called their new instrument a “Dobro,” which means “good” in their native Slovak language.
Millicent’s Magnificent Magic
By Chrystal DeCoster
This past Saturday evening, spring unfolded at The Corner Studio owned by Valerie Pellegrin. Bulbs were popping up in the front yard while bouquets of creativity were visually blooming inside. Artist Millicent Kang from Boulder, wearing a dress cut from cloth similar in palette to that which was exploding on her stretched canvases, cheerily greeted the opening reception’s array of guests.
