Little Mary Sunshine on Lyons Stage March 19-21

Contributor: Stephanie Knarr 0 Responses

BY: STEPHANIE L. KNARR


In rural Colorado, a small community is disrupted by several mounties in the area searching for an escaped native known as Yellow Feather (played by Curtis Mason), who was presumed to be dead. While the troops are scouting the area, Capt. Jim, (Johnny Hill) meets a fair maiden inn keeper named Mary (Carla Lash), who is more than shocked to learn of Yellow Feather's return. Mary, who is troubled by possible foreclosure of the inn, turns to her friend Nancy Twinkle for support. Miss Twinkle (Kayla James), a maid at the Inn brings devious delight to the inn's guests who are visiting from a local finishing school with her precocious, but not shy role.

Chief Brown Bear, (George Dobbins), leader of the Kadota tribe, has a hunch of his own of Yellow Feather's whereabouts but remains quiet as it soon proves to be a sign that something bad is brewing. With possible tribe extinction, Chief Brown Bear battles the U.S. Government for possession of tribal land.

Little Mary Sunshine will be performing March 19th-21st with special viewing for the Lyons Elementary School and senior citizens community. Tickets are currently on sale and will also be sold at the door. Come for an exciting presentation of Lyons' star performers in this year's fun-loving, dramatic comedy!

The Budget – What & Why

Well, it’s pretty much done. Three plus months, December – mid-March, of budget preparation is over. A final check is happening and on March 15th the public hearing will take place prior to the regular meeting of the Village Board. It appears that we will have approximately a $.27 or 2.3% increase per thousand, bringing it to $11.27 per thousand of assessed valuation. That equates to $27.00 total increase on a $100,000.00 assessment. I wish it were less. I am relieved it is not a larger increase. Going into our final round of meetings, prospects looked particularly dire. You read here about pension and health insurance increases so large that they could not possibly be passed along whole to our property owners. Those two budget lines were the chief villains in this piece, but everything, absolutely everything contributed to the increase as it has in your own home and business.

Possible Closing of State Parks, etc.

SUBMITTED by Gene Bavis, Finger Lakes Trail Conference (25-Feb-2010)

These are tough times in our State & Nation with regards to our economy. We have to make difficult decisions and set priorities. I'm sure that all of you have heard that many of our State Parks may be closed because of budget problems in NYS.

I recently attended the Empire State Tourism Conference in Albany. I learned some significant things there:
  • Tourism is the #1 industry in NYS.
  • One dollar spent on tourism promotion will return seven to ten dollars on average.
  • There were two million more visitors to NYS parks in 2009 than there were in 2008.
