The first "Pilates" class began at the Lyle Activity Center, but it's not too late to join. The fall series (each Tuesday and Thursday, September through December) is still ahead and open for any and all who would like to participate.

The class begins at 8:30 a.m. and the fee is $6 each or $60 for a punch card for 12 classes. Caroline Elliott is the Certified Pilates Fitness Instructor and can be reached at kjcj@gorge.net .

ATTENTION. The September Community Council meeting of Monday, Sept. 26, has been canceled due to two board members enjoying their vacations at the same time. All business that would have transpired then will be held over for the Oct. 24 meeting. Nominations or declarations for the three open council board positions will be accepted and their name will be placed on the ballot at that time. Ballots will be given out and voting will be "in person" only (no absentee ballots) and held at the Nov. 28 meeting. Qualifications are anyone living inside Lyle's fire district for at least six months. Please submit your declaration in writing either by email to lykensme@embarqmail.com or by letter to Mildred Lykens, P.O. Box 88, Lyle, Wash. 98635.

ANOTHER CANCELLATION. The Quilt Show that the Twin Bridges Museum was planning on Sept. 24 has also been at least postponed until next spring. The board decided to allow more time for the event in order to insure it to be the best experience possible. The quilt being raffled off will take place on the scheduled date and the winner will be notified. You will still have time to purchase your ticket at the next Farmer's Market or contact a board member.

There is only one more Saturday planned for the Farmer's Market which seasonally ends Sept. 24. Be sure to take advantage of the freshest fruits, vegetables, fish, flowers, baked and canned goods as well as unique hand crafted items.

Due to the Goldendale fire; many families are in need, but remember that some of their animals need help too! The Red Cross in is need of feed, hay and pet food for the animals displaced by the fire. They are housing horses, alpacas, llamas, etc. at the fairgrounds. MCP Goldendale Farm & Home at 210 West Brooks Street, Goldendale -- 773-4648 is assisting with food for displaced animals.

A thought to remember: "Save the earth -- It's the only planet with chocolate!"
