Budgets And Pay Scales
By Joseph Lekarczyk
In the interest of full disclosure, let it be known that the author of this article is married to the Mayor.
After a lengthy pre-meeting workshop with Town Staff on the 2013 budget Monday night, the Board of Trustees (BOT) got off to a late start for their regularly scheduled meeting. Despite the delay, the Trustees and Staff were optimistic that they could wrap up the light agenda by 7:30 or 8 o’clock. However, with an agenda item concerning the compensation scale for Town of Lyons employees, it was not to be. Despite Mayor Julie Van Domelen’s best efforts to keep things moving along, no one was able to make it home in time to enjoy the exciting finish of the Bronco/Charger Monday Night Football game.Thank You!

New Friendships Through Mutual Interests
By Kathleen Spring
Having best friends to share an event, an outing, or an emotion with is one of life’s best experiences. Some of our earliest memories are of swimming with friends in the summer, playing in the school playground in the fall, exchanging silly gifts at Christmas, or secret messages being exchanged. It’s never too late to generate new friendships and gather new memories.Login to read more: New Friendships Through Mutual Interests

"Sacred Cows"
Dear Editor,
My public school education was in Colorado School District RE-1 several decades ago. One of the outstanding teachers that I had in high school periodically lectured on “sacred cows.” I didn’t do well in Mr. Bliss’s classes, and I didn’t appreciate him until much later in life.
