This Week's Official CLPOA News
Fun sizzles and fizzles on 4th
With an estimated all-time high of visitors to the community and a record number of party permits issued for this year’s 4th of July celebration in Canyon Lake, CLPD Sgt. Joe Belli says the holiday weekend overall went “quite well” for law enforcement, with the biggest issues being traffic-related.
Board ponders proposed parking restrictions
The Board of Directors needs to make a decision. How do Canyon Lakers feel about the way the community looks right now? Do the majority of residents want to see some of the “toy clutter” cleared out of people’s driveways? Or, as those opposed to a proposed Community Setback rule so vehemently contend, is there a better way to regulate “blight” in driveways without settling for the proposed rule as it is currently written?
City Connection: Councilmember feted as 'Woman of the Year'
Canyon Lake City Councilmember Mary Craton was presented with the Woman of the Year Award from Soroptimist International of Tri-Valley at an event held June 14 in the Eagle’s View Ballroom at Pechanga Resort.

Chamber News: Take me out to the LE Storm baseball game
Hosted by the City of Canyon Lake and the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce, the 3rd annual Canyon Lake Community Night at the Lake Elsinore Diamond will be held Saturday, July 19. According to the Chamber, the event, sponsored by the Chamber and City, is a great way to treat employees to an evening of fun, or just bring the family for a night at the ballpark.
'Westward Whoa!' tickets go on sale tomorrow
The cast has been named and residents are invited to purchase tickets to see the rockin’ stompin’ production of “Westward Whoa” at the Lodge. Directed by Ilene Moore and produced by Sue Collins, the Canyon Lake Community Theatre and Performing Arts Association will present the western musical Thursday through Saturday, July 24, 25 and 26, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, July 27, at 3 p.m.

The Temescal Canyon High School girls’ basketball team is hosting a 3-on-3 tournament tomorrow, July 12, in the school’s gym and everyone is invited to participate by putting together their own threesome.
Trucks impact on traffic and roadways debated
Traffic has become more and more a topic of conversation among Canyon Lakers who have seen the surrounding area grow and develop by leaps and bounds. Railroad Canyon Rd., as the main conduit connecting Lake Elsinore and the I-15 to the newly formed City of Menifee, Newport Rd. and the I-215, has seen an increase in traffic over recent years.
Couple determined to walk 60 miles 'for the cure'
Driving on the freeway to a 60-mile destination by car would take about an hour; however, for residents Dick and Carol Poppoff, it will take three days when they walk that distance through the streets of Seattle during the “Breast Cancer 3-Day,” an event to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The couple will join their son and daughter-in-law, Sean and Beth Poppoff, for the event, which will take place September 12 to 14.
Wild Side of Canyon Lake: Nature provides this wild budch trilogy
It is a rare canine that knows its own sire. Of course it may suspect – but truly know? Nah! Most mammals, many birds and certainly fish do not grow up in a two-parent family. Some dogs, however, are privileged to know – or at least be acquainted with their fathers, aunts, uncles, cousins and even step-siblings. This is most emphatically true in the growing family of Goldie Hand and Brandyman Smith. How is this so?
Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Hancock'
In yet another super-hero blockbuster, “Hancock” is one of the most original and unusual characters in years. Will Smith provides his superhuman charisma to the title role where his disheveled appearance most resembles Grady on TV’s “Sanford and Son. This super-bad hero is rude and sarcastic, but also conflicted, misunderstood and even sad.
Teen Talk: Love is a marathon, lust is a sprint
Within the romantic confines of a relationship, there exist two feelings that appear similar, but have monumental differences: love and lust. Love is the romantic ideal that drives many to continue through their daily lives – that directors portray in epic films, and that children read about in Disney stories.
Near and Far with The Friday Flyer: Cannes do
Scott Enochs and his friend, Glen Olson, are pictured at the airport in Paris, France, on their way to the 61st Cannes Film Festival, where, according to Scott, Glen has a connection with Film Works, a company that makes movies.
Near and Far with The Friday Flyer: Biggest little city
Vi and Joe Henderson recently returned from a trip to Reno, Nevada. While there, they attended church at the little stone United Methodist Church of Reno where they were married 59 years ago on June 24, 1949.
Near and Far with The Friday Flyer: St. Marteens
Judith Clark and Ann Lombardo vacationed in the Caribbean the first week of June and can be seen on the island of St. Marteens, where Dutch and French are spoken on different sides. “We are pictured sitting right in the middle of the island, so they tell us,” says Ann. “It was a beautiful trip taken on the Freedom of the Seas with over 4,000 passengers.”
Near and Far with The Friday Flyer: Cottey coeds

Celebrating Bob Hart’s 82nd birthday on a Carnival Cruise to Ensenada were Sally and Jim Magill, Bob and Ellie Clow, Jean Hart (Bob’s sister-in-law), Terry and Inga Loy and Vance and Vi Burcham.
Letter: Should be embarrassed
I have been a Canyon Laker since 1966 and my parents were one of the original 10 purchasers at Canyon Lake. Never have I seen such disrespect and disorderly conduct in my life! This weekend we set up our canopy at Sunset Beach to enjoy the 4th of July with friends and family.
Letter: Questions about setback
I have questions about the proposed parking restrictions. 1. Why haven’t we been told what the official consensus was regarding the survey? Were we for it, against it, or does the committee just not want us to know the results?
Letter: Purchase of uniforms
I just read that the City of Canyon Lake approved a budget that contains the purchase of uniforms for our Little League players. Wow, that sounds great! But, the City is not helping the kids! It is helping the parents with a handout. Okay, let’s do it. By the way, my golf game is getting worse, so I think I need new clubs.
Letter: Serous skepticism
Whoops, looks like we just lost 400 ft. off Goetz Hill. In a previous front-page article, The Friday Flyer (June 1, 2007), owners of the hill were cited as planning to “bring down 60 ft. of the hill.” The article on June 27 depicts a schematic of the project’s most recent plans.
Letter: Noise from Goetz Hill
I apologize in advance – this note is technical. I visited the Castle and Cooke Quarry (Nichols and I-15) with a noise meter. The quarry is freestanding and open. There are no constricting slopes and valleys to channel noise. At the entrance, a distance of 250 yards from the quarry, the noise reading varied between 70 and 75 dBA.
Letter: Setback restrictions are necessary
I had the opportunity to attend the July1 Community Forum, at which time the subject of a proposed Community Setback rule (“Proposed Rule”) was discussed at length. The proposed “Community Setback Parking Restrictions” would phase in a restriction on the parking of vehicles, recreational or otherwise, in the six-foot setback from the curb.
Letter: Fees and more fees
Let’s see . . . the cost for having a garage sale has now gone up to $20. Then the POA tells us where we cannot put our signs, i.e., Continental and Vacation, so we must advertise in The Friday Flyer to get the word out at $8 to $10.
Letter: Clarification on Goetz Hill
We have heard from most of the leadership of Concerned Citizens of Canyon Lake regarding Sky Blue Project (Nancy Horton, Barry Talbot) and now Tim Brown. Nancy proclaimed dust could not be controlled during the grading project. Now Tim says you can eliminate dust but it will take water, but according to Tim, too much of it.
Letter: Golf Course greatly improved
I would like to thank the Canyon Lake Board (I don’t think they hear that too often around here) that voted on a change of contractors for maintenance on the Golf Course. Mark Wilson and his staff from Valley Crest Golf have turned this course around from a mediocre municipal course back into a quality country club course. It is unbelievable what they could do in such a short time.
Letter: Look into unincorporating
It is obvious from some of the Letters to the Editor that many people are questioning the operations of the City of Canyon Lake. The letter from Mr. Warren Kelsey (June 27) raises many good points and presents a number of questions that need answering.
Letter: Another 4th without Indian Beach
Three 4th of Julys have passed without the full use of our once beautiful Indian Beach. This park was once a great place for Canyon Lake residents to picnic, fish, listen to bands, watch plays and hold various events.

The annual Canyon Lake Jr. Golf Clinic is scheduled for the week of August 4 through 8. The format will be the same as years past, with kids going through four swing stations during the hour-long clinic, learning the basic fundamentals of hitting the golf ball. The clinic will start Monday and lessons will continue through Thursday.

Rent a dock!
Tired of hauling your boat in and out of the water? Are you a weekender who would like to keep your boat in Canyon Lake? At last, after years of being booked solid, there are openings at the Engler’s Landing marina at the Lodge, thanks to new slips recently installed by the Property Owners Association.
Taco Tuesday!
The Lodge patio and Sunset Beach continue to be the place to be on Tuesday evenings as families, singles, old and young flock to Taco Tuesday from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Available for a la carte purchase are shredded beef and shredded chicken tacos, rice, beans and pizza.
The heat is on - but keep on exercising!
The Pool is open for lap swimming from 7 to 10 a.m. Water aerobics classes are held Monday through Friday at 8 and 9 a.m.; Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m.; and Saturday at 8:30 a.m. Each class is a 50-minute water workout and is $1 at the door. Open swim is 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
A Message From the President: What is the POA doing about foreclosed properties?
A fairly recent article in a major newspaper indicated that as much as 15 percent of all the homes in the area are in some state of foreclosure. That rate is quoted as being at six percent nationally. So, you ask, what is the Canyon Lake Property Owners Association doing about the problem here in our community?
GM's Nuts and Bolts: Why a maintenance schedule is important
From time to time, residents submit maintenance requests and become frustrated when something isn’t attended to immediately. Part of the reason for the delay is that the Association develops and follows an annual maintenance schedule, and the manager knows that next month’s routine maintenance will take care of the request from the member.
ACCording to the ACC: Making improvements
Are you looking to build a new home or perhaps make improvements to the one you’re in? How about building that dream pool and outdoor kitchen? The application process can be quite confusing and time consuming, but your ACC Department is here to help.
