Roads Traveled With Linda L. Osmundson

For the next daytrip suggestion, I’ll concentrate on historic Georgetown. A long time ago when my husband and I were dating, we’d go skiing then stop on the downhill drive from Eisenhower Tunnel in Georgetown for dinner. By the time we ate a bite, the heavy traffic had cleared away and it was smooth driving into Denver.

Bohn-Fire Cancelled

The Town of Lyons and the Lyons Community Foundation (LCF), after discussions with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, have decided to cancel the community “Bohn-Fire” which was planned for this Saturday, April 14. Late last month Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pele issued a fire ban for all of Boulder County. The ban has been relaxed a little in the eastern portions of the County, and with the light snow/rain last week, there was some hope that the ban might be lifted. However, the recent warm, dry, breezy days have evaporated all hope that fire conditions might improve enough to allow the LCF fundraiser.

Ask the Handy Woman!

with Kheli Mason, The Handy Woman LLC

Procrastination seems to be one of those human characteristics that some of us have perfected more than others. I would count myself among the more “advanced” practitioners of the “art” (as Lora and Joseph can attest, as they wait for me to submit my column each month!).

About Town with LaVern Johnson, April 12, 2012

THE TOWN ELECTION
Thanks to all for your vote for me as a Town Trustee. I will do my best. In trying to analyze why I, LaVern M. Johnson, got elected when I was against medical marijuana (for the ban) and those for it (against the ban) were defeated, and from the talk about town on the confusing vote (you had to vote “yes” if you meant “no”) I have concluded that we may have been “hoodwinked.”

Ah, some rain and snow this morning to cut down on the wildfire danger and make the flowers bloom and grass grow. It is hard to believe the weather can change so fast, but that is Colorado! And just in time for Easter! Yes, it usually is snowy during the Easter Egg Hunt, but maybe it will clear up before then. Happy Easter, to all!

Why is hydraulic fracturing important?

To The Lyons Community,
I am writing this letter in response to the hydraulic fracturing scare recently in our county. This is a complex and emotional issue. I am a production geologist employed with a major oil company and deal with hydraulic fracturing on a daily basis, but have no interest in the wells in Boulder and Weld County. I do, however, live in Lyons and care deeply about the environment and the health and safety of its citizens. I agree with Sapan

Thank You

Dear Editor,
I’d like to say thank you to Dave Chase, owner of Redstone Cyclery, for giving me the straight scoop on a bike I brought in for a tune-up. Thank you for saving me money, for asking me what kind of bike riding I want to do, and for giving me sound advice on what to do next. I’m planning to get back riding this year and you are getting me off to a good start.

Thanks again,
Carol Pranschke
