Thanks go out to whom ever trudged up the hill and repaired the "Lyle" sign. It was done before our article about it being torn up even hit the news paper. Isn't this a great community!!!

We suggest again that in this COLD weather you check on neighbors and friends, make sure they have heat, water, and food. Be a good neighbor and be ready to assist if help is needed. Sometimes pride can keep us from asking for basic assistance.

Saturday, Jan. 20, at 6 p.m. is the date and time set for "Over the Hedge," January's free movie which is being held in the multi-purpose room at the high school. Parents mark your calendars and plan to join your children for this fun family evening.

Participants can look forward to a specially prepared five-course gourmet dinner from Chef Chris Marlinga of Lyle Hotel and Restaurant paired with Bob Lorkowski's vintage wines from Cascade Cliffs Winery. They will present the 1st "Columbia Gorge Winemaker Dinner" of 2007 on Saturday, Jan. 20, at the Lyle Hotel. Other such dinners will be held each month thru June. Call 365-5953 for information or to make reservations.

Our apologies for putting in the wrong date last week for the Lyle Museum meeting. This was scheduled for and held on Jan. 16. As soon as we realized the mistake we posted signs in the post office. If you missed this meeting there will be many others and we hope to give the correct information next time.

Churches in Lyle are United Methodist: 403 Klickitat St., and Lyle Celebration Center: 715 Washington St.

Reminiscence: by Homer H. James, Lyle 1905 & Later: "In this little mill on the hill above Pitt, we sawed out the lumber wood in building the trestles below Lyle toward White Salmon. The R.R. was built on trestles across the Chamberlain bottoms at Dubois Lake, and also Lock Lake. We had an order for 1000 pcs 8x16x28 ft long which we cut at this mill. We also made all the lumber used to line the tunnels west of Lyle also all the 2x4's that were in the Lyle R.R. Bridge."

Remember the 3Rs: Respect for self, Respect for other, and Responsibility for your actions!
