The little Methodist Church in Lyle was a beehive of activity this week. Wednesday it was packed with over 100 family and friends coming to honor Alma Ensley in a memorial service. On Thursday, it was once again packed as people came from far and wide to pay tribute to our men and women (past and present) who served in the Armed Forces of our wonderful country. After a moving service at the church there was a police escort to the Lyle-Balch Cemetery where there was a full military honor service. A flagpole that was donated by Roberta Tuthill was in place and a flag was flown at half-mast during the service.
The LKW Middle School Football Team would like to thank everyone from Lyle, Klickitat, and Wishram who came out to our two home games to cheer them on. It is nice to see our stands jam-packed with Cub Supporters. We very much appreciate your support for our team. Your cheers make us work harder. Thank you, the LKW Middle School Football Team.
Delbert and Jean Brashers and Jim and Eileen Brashers, attended the Washington State Good Sam meeting at Lacey, last weekend. It was a fun weekend. There was a costume party with Delbert and Jean masquerading as M & M's and Jim and Eileen as Lady Bugs. Jim and Eileen were presented the cutest couple award. A stop on their way home included a visit with Jim and Eileen's great granddaughter.
Saturday night was the second Free Movie night at the Lyle Middle School hosted by the Lyle Community Council. A double feature this time, with prizes for all who came in costume. Hot dogs, trick or treat bags, and popcorn kept the hunger pangs at bay. There were over 50 children and adults in attendance. The next Free Movie night will be Dec. 2. The movie will be "Polar Express."

Lyle Transportation (author unknown), quoting from a letter from Mary Joselyn in 1881: "This could have been the run that Stella Course McNabb, now a resident of Lyle took when she went to Portland as a babysitter to the Rose Festival with Mrs. Joe Bachman and her small daughter. They stayed with three sisters Francis, Florence and Stella Smith, whose parents lived out of Lyle a little ways. "
"On one particular trip the Baily Gatzert acted as the royal barge for the day for the Queen of the Rose Festival."
