Thrill, skill, speed drives local coach to success
When Robert “Rob” Chornomud started playing inline roller hockey at the age of 14, it’s most likely he wasn’t thinking 23 years into the future and the possibility of being a world championship coach. He also couldn’t have foreseen the recognition of being inducted into the USA Roller Sports Coaches Hall of Fame; the result of a string of roller hockey accomplishments for the Canyon Lake resident.
First time hosts reap rewards of having students
Stepping out and doing something for the very first time can have its rewards, as residents Joe and Vi Henderson have discovered.

Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'The Dark Knight' and 'Mamma Mia'
The summer movie season is in full swing. “The Dark Knight” is technically brilliant and thrilling. “Mamma Mia!” is simply enjoyable for those who enjoy ’70s pop disco music.
Teen Talk: Where has the time gone?
It seems like it was only yesterday I joined in on all the kids’ activities Canyon Lake has to offer – things like the annual Jr. Golf Tournament and Little League. I see how all my younger neighbors are preparing for or just finishing up the activities this community has to offer and I can’t help but wonder where did the years go?

Letter: Six-foot setback
There were quite a few individuals who attended the Setback Committee meetings who were not selected to be officially on the committee. At the time it was announced there was going to be an official committee to work on the blight problem, I was the first one to turn in an application and I do own an RV.
Letter: Center will be beneficial
I wanted to comment on the open house held by the developers of Goat Hill. I thought it was a very professional presentation of their future upscale retail project.The scaled model of the proposed project was impressive. I was able, for the first time, to truly sense the vision of the developers regarding the finished project.
Letter: Devil is in the details
Disneyland comes to Canyon Lake. Yes, last Thursday the Sky Blue Investments team converted our City Multi-purpose Room into a real fantasyland. When you first walked into the room, you knew they were dreaming. Suspended from the ceiling were huge color photographs of storefronts.
Letter: Great addition to community
I went to the open house on July 17 and must say I walked in a skeptic and left with a better understanding of what was being proposed. I talked to one of the owners for some time and, not only did he answer my questions, he provided written documentation of the information.
Letter: Facts or scare tactics
Well, now we have heard from another leader of the Concerned Citizens (to save their views) of Canyon Lake, Mr. Petty. (See July 11 Letter to the Editor). Did you ever hear the saying, “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?” Yes, it does. The simple reason someone did not hear it is because they were too far away.
Letter: Not a mine
During the POA televised meeting on July 15, Nancy Horton quoted from the Riverside County Ordinance 555, which she said proved that the grading operation on Goetz Hill was really a mining operation. Mr. Gibson adamantly claimed she was not telling the truth and was misleading the public.
Letter: Put Goetz Hill to a vote
We have owned two homes in Canyon Lake for approximately three years. We loved the Lake the first time we set eyes on it. As investors in the community, we expect the POA Board to uphold the CC&Rs and work to enhance our property values. Now we find that the POA has been selectively enforcing CC&Rs.
Letter: Misqouted in The Friday Flyer
In The Friday Flyer's recap of the August 15 POA meeting presentation by the Setback Committee there were more than just two property owners who spoke regarding this issue. The journalist correctly stated that I did not believe that the 160 property owners responding to the survey were a true representation of the entire community.
