Swim For Free!

June 6, 2014 Leave a comment


“We are offering free admission for the pool season,” stated Lyons Mayor Andy Fuston. This will begin once the new pool opens, which should be around the middle of June.

“With the pool not being ready for a Memorial Day opening and the date now a moving target, we were talking about how best to handle season passes, etc.” said Fuston. “I just said maybe we should open the pool for free and everyone there thought that would be a great idea.” By everyone, the mayor is referring to the members of the city council. The decision was made at Tuesday’s city council meeting.

“I’m excited that we will be offering free admission to the pool this season; not only to say thank you to the community for their patience while the pool gets finished up but to also showcase what a great destination our pool can be for our local patrons as well as to those living in surrounding communities,” stated Fuston.

Yes, it will be a shorter season this year, “but a really fun and exciting one,” said Fuston.

Uehling, NE Suffers Extensive Damage in Storm

June 4, 2014 Leave a comment


Strong winds ripped through Uehling and Craig causing much damage. It is not clear if a tornado was responsible or very strong winds. Uehling’s damage was unusual as the damage was on different parts of homes, indicating the wind could have been blowing in many directions. Hail damage was in excess, trees were down and some were even stripped of their leaves, leaving sidewalks and streets full of leaves. Windows were broken, shingles were in pieces all over sidewalks. Both communities are cleaning up today. Fortunately, there weren’t any injuries.
