VETERANS DAY WAS SUNDAY, with the Longmont parade on Saturday. The Lyons High School Band participated in the parade, with a large crowd in spite of the cold and snow. All paid their respects to our veterans for the years given out of their lives, and the many who gave of their lives to defend the USA. We honor all service people and those from our area who wereWhat $1 Million Will Get You In Retirement

Lyons Runners Continue To Shine
Although the high school cross-country season is over, the Lyons cross-country runners continued to shine at the annual Longmont Turkey Trot last week. Not content to rest on their laurels (the boys won State, and the girls came in second), the podium was littered with Lyons runners, in fact, six out of the top eight finishers in the 2-mile event were Lyons High runners.Roads Traveled with Linda L.

Since the Lyons Board of Trustees (BOT), the Town Planner, the Planning and Community Development Commission (PCDC) and the Economic Development Commission (EDC) first put forth the idea of creating a new Commercial Eastern Corridor (CEC) zone for the eastern entrance area of Lyons (from the decommissioned water treatment plants just east of town to the bottom of Stone Canyon) there have been three new Trustees elected, a new Planner hired, several new members on the PCDC (including three changes in the Chair), and numerous changes in

THIS IS THE DAY! A lovely day, to end all those political ads on TV and in the papers. It will be a welcome relief. May the best men or women win!I am mostly interested in the Mill Levy override 3A, and hope it passes for the welfare of our kids of the St.Vrain, the knowledge, the property values, the community, and all that good schools bring to us all.
Lyons Season Ends In Buena Vista
By Bob Blair
It was a clear, crisp night in Buena Vista last Friday (November 2). The Lions had fought long and hard all season to make the play-offs. Along the way for one of the smallest Lyons football teams ever, came a new coach who installed a new offense and a new defense. Not many outsiders gave the Lions a nod for success, but they kept fighting. A new play-off format for 1A football had voting decide the final play-off seeding rather than getting an automatic berth for finishing in second place in the conference.

Investigation revealed that the metal chain controlling the flapper-valve in our toilet was kinked, preventing the valve from closing and allowing the tank-fill water to constantly drain. Apparently, this mishap occurred on the last flush as
