SUBMITTED by Theresa Streb, Lyons Public Library Director (4-Dec-2009)

During October and November 2009, various landscaping projects were undertaken at the Lyons Public Library, 122 Broad Street, in Lyons. A 4-H group from Alloway, under the leadership of Sharon Smith, placed various plants around the sign on the front lawn of the library and along the sidewalk leading up to the front steps. Dorie Talbo, president of the Friends of the Lyons Public Library and Susan Stone, assistant to the director, planted a mixture of spring bulbs around the front steps of the porch.

Theresa Streb, library director, met with Lauren Christler of Newark, a landscape architecture student, to plan the main landscaping for the library. After 3 meetings, Ms. Christler came up with exciting plans for the front and back of the library which were unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees as well as the Friends' Board of Directors. Q's Lawn and Landscape of Newark purchased the plants and then installed them during the week of Thanksgiving. The project was funded through donations, memorials and fundraising from the library and a generous donation from the Friends of the Library.

The plan on are view at the library near the circulation desk. Donations in memory or in honor of people are still being accepted at the library. A price list is available from Theresa Streb. For more information, call the Lyons Public Library at (315) 946-9262 or email lyonslibrary@owwl.org.

Lyons Middle School Production Goes Up on the Ohmann Stage

The Lyons Middle School in conjunction with the Lyons Community Players will bring their most recent production to the Ohmann Theatre stage in Lyons 11-13 December 2009.

The show, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is directed by Jean Stoep & Larry Ann Evans with musical accompaniment by Mark Wlodarczyk.

The story, based on the beloved classic by Barbara Robinson revolves about six very unruly children, the Herdamans who teach a whole church about the true meaning of the birth of Christ.

“The show is lovely,” said Evans who went on to say that the kids work very hard to put on this show in 6 weeks, “just like community theatre!” said Evans.

"We also have previous years cast members helping as apprentices and assistant directors," said Stoep, "Like Richelle and Garrett Coons, Alexis Smith and Michelle Conaway."

The cast includes Mother & Father played by Alexandra Marr and Tyler McCann respectively, their daughter Beth (Megan Galbraith) and son (Duncan Dobbins) and Beth’s best friend Alice (Jessica Norris). The Herdmans are played by Emily Gifford, Alex Calvo, Alivia Arliss, Michaela Schaffer, Hunter Victorious and Cheyenne Humby. The church ladies are played by Meghan Johns, Emily Snyder, Cheyenne Humby, and Anne Galbraith. The characters are rounded out by Maxine (Alyssa Wlodarczyk), Elmer (Kyle Alexanian), Hobie (Joseph Spencer), David (Jacob Gifford), Shirley (Paige Boor), Juanita (Hallie Albrecht), Reverend Hopkins (Michael White), the firemen (Kayla Webb & Meghan Johns) and the Angel Choir (Kayla Murrell, Alexis Welch, and Shelly Reynard)



The show “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” will be on the Ohmann Theatre stage 11 December 2009 and 12 December 2009 at 7:30 pm and 13 December 2009 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $5 for Adults and $4 for Seniors and Students and are available at Dobbins' Drugstore in Lyons and at the door.
