Senator Rollie Heath At The Cup
Colorado State Senator Rollie Heath (D - Boulder and vicinity) and State Representative Jonathan Singer (D - Longmont and vicinity) were in Lyons last week (Wednesday, February 27) to hold a “Town Hall” meeting at The Stone Cup. About two-dozen area residents showed up to listen to what their elected officials were up to during the current legislative session, and to tell the gentlemen what issues were on their minds.

It was a big agenda Monday night at the Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting. Chock-a-block full of the usual stuff: work shopping about creating urban renewal districts, a report by Sgt. Nick Goldberger, approving liquor licenses, leasing town land, adopting late fees on utility bills, imposing limits on marijuana grows, approving equipment purchases for Public Works, approving the consent agenda, giving Trustee and Staff reports, etc. The real interesting item came after an executive session concluded and everyone had gone home. By everyone I mean Manny

“Jobs Of Yesteryear” At The Cup
Lyons artist Tyler Voorhees will be the featured artist at The Stone Cup beginning this Friday, March 1. His show will hang for two months, through the end of April.
From his humble beginnings in rural South Dakota, Voorhees has always been drawn to the art of storytelling. With his paintings, and the characters that inhabit them, he seeks to spin a visual yarn by drawing the viewer in with the composition, and holding their attention with the details. His mixed media paintings depict jobs now forgotten by the majority of Americans, made obsolete by advancements in technology (which are also hidden in the paintings). These occupations existed a mere century ago, yet they have fallen to the wayside in the collective memory of our society.
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. Hanno is excited about the move, saying he will continue to be the community’s

Stillwater Healing Arts Clinics
From the earliest recorded history, midwives have been attending women in birth. In fact the etymology of the very word “midwife” comes from Middle English and means “with women.” Before the 1600s almost all babies in the world were born into the hands of the community midwife. Even in 1910, fifty-percent of the babies born in this country were attended by midwives.

About Town, February 28, 2013
That was a nice, much needed snow, with more to come. Maybe we will get some moisture, yet. I don’t like the cold weather, but it will soon warm up.
Our pal, Geneva Thomas, tells us that daylight savings time will be on Sunday, March 10, at 2 a.m., when we turn our clocks ahead (spring forward, fall back) one hour. I like the new time, with longer evenings; however, it isn’t too good for kids waiting for the school bus, the farmers, and others making them get out in the dark!
