We would like to see a packed house at the next meeting of the Lyle Community Action Council. The meeting is Monday, April 22, 2002, at 7 p.m. at the Lyle Lions Community Center. Joan Frey County Commissioner, Bill Schmitt, and Janis Sauter will be speaking on the latest developments concerning the Lyle Point and Trust For Public Land. This meeting will be an informative meeting so that the county can hear from the citizens of Lyle concerning the Point. It's very important that you attend and voice your opinions.
If you haven't visited the new Lyle Web site please do. Pam Essley has done a wonderful job and we can be proud of this informative site. http://community.gorge.net/lyle/ or go to Gorge Net and look under Communities. Pam is also hard at work on the phone tree for the disaster plan and may be calling upon some of you to be listed on the tree. Pam is on the advisory board for the Community Action Council and is really helping get these two projects up and running. Thanks to all who have spent so many hours working on the formulation of this plan.

We have had several calls over the past two weeks concerning the contents of this column, both supportative and critical. We welcome both as it shows this column is being read. For that we thank you. We would hope that when you have news or information that needs to be gotten out to Lyle that you would let us know about that as well. We have fun doing this and feel that just maybe we are contributing a service to the residents of Lyle. We thank you for this opportunity.

Lyle History: As published in the Ruralite September 1974.
"One moonlit night another drunk, mistaking his own shadow for a lurking enemy, accidentally rushed off the bank into the river. His yells for help woke Gus Haleburg over on the Oregon shore, who rowed over and pulled him out."
"The one-room school house where Tim and Frank Bradford were school boys in 1907 or so was located just across the road from where Tim's house now stands. (Note:2002- this is the only house still standing on Lyle Point.) According to Tim and Frank, their teacher, Anna Mulligan, was quite a person."
