The Lyle annual Spring Clean-up is Friday, April 12, and Saturday, April 13. The dumpsters will be at the bus garage all day Friday and Saturday. The hours are 9 to 5 both days. The items that we will be able to accept are: clean vegetation, household appliances, vacuums, kitchen appliances, and for a fee, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and microwaves. No hazardous materials, liquid paints, cleaning supplies, aerosol cans with contents, oil, batteries, and no tires.
In coordination with the sheriff's department, the Lyle Community Action Council is close to having a complete plan for our area in the event of a disaster. The most important part involves notification of local people. This will be done by a telephone tree in which there are specific people that will receive notification from the sheriff, which will start the chain of calls to our citizenry.
Volunteers are needed to be callers to get this tree in order. There are a lot of new people in the community and we need your names and phone numbers. Please call Pam Essley at 365-4673 with any new information or if you can help with this project. We will be having a trial telephone calling to see if the system works. More information to follow.
Lyle had six medical calls and one fire call for the month of March.
"Bottoms Up Espresso" is progressing rapidly towards a middle of May opening. We're really excited about this new addition to Lyle's business community and look forward to an early morning caffeine break.
As with all new businesses, glitches sometimes occur and if you haven't received last week's copy of The Klickitat County Monitor, that was one of them. Delivery problems should be resolved by this publication. Let's show Lyle support for these new businesses in town.
Just a reminder: The chip site is open for spring. Lots of chips are bagged and ready for you to pick up. Thanks to Klickitat County for maintaining this facility and for the citizens using it properly.
Lyle History: As published in the Ruralite September 1974.
"Tim was a small boy when he came to Lyle in 1901. His mother cooked for the railroad crew which included many white-turbaned Hindus, Orientals, and Austrian immigrants. They were building the Goldendale branch of the SP&S railroad."
"There were three saloons in those days, and Tim still rocks with big guffaws as he recalls the fellow who had 'one too many' and tumbled into the 'one-holer.' The Sheriff rescued him and then hauled him down to the river to soak a while.
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
