    Lyons resident Frank Adams, who passed away December 19, 2017, was a volunteer at the Lyons Regional Library. His wife Susan McCafferty passed away days before him on December 16. Adams, an accomplished chess player, volunteered along side Aaron Caplan on Monday afternoons teaching kids to play chess through the no-fee "Fun Chess Club!" sponsored by the Lyons Regional Library.
    To memorialize Frank's support of the library, and his commitment to kids learning chess, the Lyons Regional Library wanted to do something for Frank's memory. Upon hearing of this, a frequent library patron (and a neighbor of Frank) donated this handmade wood teaching chess set in his name, complete with a brass plaque in Frank's honor. This way Frank's efforts and memory will always be honored at "Fun Chess Club!" and in the minds and hearts of the library and its patrons. The donor wishes to remain anonymous.

Things to Do in Lyons

 

 

Mission #1, should you choose to accept it: Roust yourself from blissful sleep and a warm bed before the sun rises on a chilly Saturday morning to ride a school bus (though you will be with one of the kindest, coolest school bus drivers on planet Earth, thank you, Mr. Grove) to a facility with fifteen other local track teams, all but three having at least five times your school enrollment (and ranging up to nearly ten times larger in the case of Fairview and Boulder) with many of those schools

 

 

Late last Thursday morning (April 12) half a dozen government-type SUVs as well as two Boulder County Sheriff's vehicles were congregated in the parking lot behind the St. Vrain Pharmacy. One's first thought had to be, “Oh no, did they get robbed again?” Officials from the Sheriff's Office quickly put that line of reasoning to bed. “This is not a Boulder County Sheriff's operation, we are only here to assist the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency),” was the official response.

 

 

On Monday evening the Lyons Board of Trustees (BOT), friends, family, and neighbors said good-bye to Mayor Pro Tem Dan Greenberg (term-limited after three two-year terms on the Board) and James Kerr (chose not to seek re-election after two two-year terms), and hello to new Trustees Mark Browning and Joycelyn Farrell (incumbent Trustees Barney Dreistadt, Michael Karavas, Wendy Miller, and Juli Waugh were re-elected, as was Mayor Connie Sullivan who ran unopposed) with a small “thank-you” ceremony that included cake, punch, nuts, and coffee.

A year ago, the Walt Self Senior Center was a place rarely used, with a dead lunch program. This month we had a big celebration party commemorating the now successful and active senior center.

After decades of strong, caring management by the Lyons senior group The Golden Gang, in recent years, most of the membership had
