Changes Coming To Main Street
If you haven’t taken a stroll down Main Street recently, you might be surprised by some of the changes you find the next time you do. For one, the Chubway Sandwich Shop has closed, and will be replaced by an Oskar Blues tasting room where one can sample the latest brews/spirits coming from the brewery/distillery.
Moving west along Main, the Lyons General Store (next to Lyons Pinball) run by proprietor Hanno Jensen for the last nine and a half years, will close this Friday, March 1, and reopen in its new location, 429 Main Street, between Lyons Community Montessori and the Barking Dog Café.

It was a very light agenda for the Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting Tuesday night (the regularly scheduled Monday meeting was rescheduled because of Presidents’ Day). Just the kind of agenda that can get bogged down in rambling discussions about small details and tangential subjects. Mayor Julie Van Domelen was not about to let that happen, as she continually brought the discussions back on point, and suggested that various discussions on side topics be brought back up at future meetings as agenda items.

In the interest of full disclosure, let it be known that the author of this article is married to the Mayor.
No one got married at the Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting Monday night, but the Trustees and Staff did say good-bye to Lyons Substation Supervisor Sgt. Kevin Parker (the old) who in his last duty as Supervisor introduced the Board to his replacement, Sgt. Nick Goldberger (the new). Parker then made his exit, and Goldberger gave his first report to the Trustees. He reported that he had been on the new job for just under one day, and therefore didn’t have much to report.
Under the hat of the Liquor Authority, it was then on to granting Town of Lyons a special event permit to host the next Chamber of Commerce social at the skating rink in Meadow Park. Since there is traditionally beer and wine served at these functions, and since it is being held in a Town park, the permit was needed. The measure was approved in short order with a 7 to 0 vote.

Continuity And Change At Rock n River Resort
After living in western Pennsylvania for most of their lives, Jay and Elaine Hodge decided it was time for a change; time to live closer to a son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, as well as two sisters who had all relocated to the Front Range of Colorado. Hodge decided to take the work experience he had accumulated in the foundry business and as a human resource officer, and apply it to the wine, spa, special events, and guest accommodations business. As a result, we have a new owner at the Rock n River Resort just outside of Lyons.
