Councilman to undergo cancer treatment
He’s held many titles during his more than 20 years in Canyon Lake: Mayor, POA President, Chamber of Commerce President, Citizen of the Year, Businessman of the Year, entrepreneur and philanthropist, among others. However, Marty Gibson is now assuming a much different position – that of cancer activist.
A Veteran's Story, Part 1: Career Air Force officer tells his story
Military service is different for every generation. Obviously, Army or Navy veterans of WWII tell much different stories from veterans serving in different branches of the military in Korea, Viet Nam or Iraq. Much of what Americans know about war and the military has been learned from movies – glamorized or demonized depending on the political leanings of writers, producers and directors.

Although the Internet has made reaching out easier than ever, whenever you share personal information, a few cautions are in order.

The two 7th graders attend Canyon Lake Middle School and are no strangers to the stage.
Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Amelia'
Long before Sully Sullenberger, Chuck Yeager or even Balloon Boy, America has had a profound fascination with aeronautical phenomenon. To this day, not many names of women aviators come to mind. Yet, as early as the 1930s, the charismatic Amelia Earhart showed the world she had the right stuff. And then too quickly she was gone.
Cooks Corner: Time to heat up the kitchen with holiday cooking
Just as spring brings with it the urge to clean, the cooler days of fall leading into the holidays bring with them a hankering to get back in the kitchen to cook and bake. With that in mind, The Friday Flyer introduces its favorite cook, Betty Williams, as a new food columnist for the “Cook’s Corner.”
Mom About Town: Volunteering with TIP a life-changing experience
Arriving at the location, I surveyed a scene of controlled chaos.

Letter: Boating safety course
The last couple of weeks, The Friday Flyer notified Canyon Lake residents of a Boating Safety Course offered by Pete Dawson of Lake Elsinore, who is a US Coast Guard Auxiliary Member.
