This Week's Official CLPOA News
Happy New Year - 1-01-10!
In this New Year’s issue of January 1, 2010, residents will find several features reflecting on the past year, including the “Year in Review 2009” and articles by former Mayor Mary Craton and POA President and CEO Randy Bonner.
Here's a look back at Canyon Lake in 2009
Here is a brief review of some of the events that took place in Canyon Lake in 2009.
City Connection: State of the City 2009
The year 2009 was not the greatest year in Canyon Lake. The economy took its toll as well as the dissension on the City Council. Good news is the lawsuit over access to the Lake is resolved and we won! Speaking of the Lake, additional good news is that we don’t have any quagga muscles; the bad news is we’re constantly fighting water quality issues.
City Connection: Library - All fired up
Ceramics to Go held a well-attended workshop for the Library in the City Multi-purpose Room on December 16.
Chamber Notes
The January Chamber luncheon will be held on Wednesday, January 13, at 11:30 a.m. in the banquet room at Pepe’s Restaurant. The cost of the luncheon is $13. Reservations can be made by calling the Chamber office at 244-6124. The reservation deadline is Monday, January 11.
Christmas tree disposal
CR&R will pick up Christmas trees curbside on residents regularly scheduled trash pick-up day through January 8.
Preliminary hearing for Kessler to continue next week
At a preliminary hearing on December 28 for Suzanne Kessler, wife of former mayor Frank Kessler, Canyon Lake resident Robert Hart testified he made seven loans to Suzanne totaling more than $800,000 over a period of three years.
Lioness receive special thanks from youngsters
The Canyon Lake Lioness Club delivered groceries to 15 families along with gifts for the 48 children as part of the group’s annual Christmas project. Following the deliveries, everyone met at the Country Club for lunch.
Polar Bears to ski tomorrow
It’s Polar Bear season! The Canyon Lake Ski Club will host its popular Polar Bear Day tomorrow, January 2, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Eagle Scout marches in 2010 Rose Parade
Brandon Chavez, who achieved the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout award in 2009, was among the 300 Eagle Scouts who were selected to march alongside the Boy Scouts of America 100th anniversary float in the 121st Rose Parade on January 1.
IRS and AARP seek tax prep volunteers
The Internal Revenue Service, in partnership with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), is looking for volunteers to assist in preparing tax returns next year at various AARP sponsored sites throughout Southern California. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.
Movie Review: 'Sherlock Holmes'
Robert Downey Jr. set out to recreate the classic sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, but instead delivers, well, something else. Often clever, but never wise, this smug action figure is skilled in mixed martial arts and loaded with an arsenal of one-liners. Basil Rathbone rolls over in his grave, but today, a one trick pony just can’t generate the big bucks.
Letter: Dining Room Credit
Randy Helton’s letter (“Fix the Lodge,” December 25) states that he “also likes the idea of assessing each home $100 to reopen the restaurant.”
Letter: A thank you to Marty
Marty Gibson does it again. This is to thank Marty, his brother Tom and all the staff and customers at Pepe’s for the surprise birthday party for my 82nd birthday on December 21.
Letter: Santa returned
Allison Blount contacted The Friday Flyer to say her poem in the December 25 issue (“Grinch stole Christmas”), bemoaning the theft of a wooden Santa she created with her father, has resulted in its return.
Announcement: Vikings win championship
The Vikings flag football team for Canyon Lake 7th and 8th graders, at left, completed its 10-0 championship season with a 28-0 win over the Steelers on December 17.
Announcement: Army graduation
Remmington Kayne Miyashiro graduated from the United States Army basic training with advanced infantry training on December 16. Remmington was in the 1st Battalion, 50th Infantry Regiment at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Announcement: Christmas Tree Lane winner
Kaydee Stricklen of Canyon Lake was one of the 13 winners of the 11th annual Christmas Tree Lane fundraiser at the Lake Elsinore Outlets.
Club News: Women's Golf Club announces tourney results
The Women’s Golf Club held its annual Christmas/Installation tournament on December 15 at the Lodge. The six-person nine-hole scramble event had 108 participants.
Adopt-a-pet: Big Boy and Poppy
This week’s pets are Big Boy and Poppy. Big Boy is a quiet, shy, brown and white Australian shepherd male, and Poppy is a cute 9-week-old female gray tabby female.
Photo of the Week: Rainbow
This mid-December rainbow framed the North Causeway quite nicely for photographer Dave Guthery.
This Week's Official CLPOA News
2009 - The Year of Transition
Change has been witnessed in Washington D.C., the City of Canyon Lake and the Canyon Lake Property Owners Association (CLPOA). In my recent experience as President and CEO, I have found that some people have confused what is diligent oversight of day-to-day operations with micromanagement. It is a fundamental management philosophy to delegate authority, but not responsibility.
Don't park on streets during street sweeping
Members and their guests play a part in ensuring streets are clean by not parking on the street for sweep day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Here is the street sweeping schedule.
The 'Winter Workout' begins January 4
The Pool may be closed for the winter, but those dedicated to keeping up their exercise routine over the next few months still will meet each day, Monday through Saturday, at 8:30 a.m. for the Canyon Lake Winter Workout – also known as “Fish Out of Water.” Other classes offered include Yoga, Pilates, Total Commitment (formerly Exercise With Baby), Karate, Dancercise and Line dancing.
Signups now underway for computer classes
The POA is offering a new schedule of computer classes, beginning in January. Classes will be held at the Senior Center. They are limited to eight students and are open to all residents.
Lessons are offered
Here’s a great New Year’s resolution for Canyon Lake residents – lessons at the Tennis Courts or Equestrian Center!
Learn guitar
A five-week Guitar Class will begin Monday, January 11, and be offered each Monday at 7 p.m. in the Sunset Beach Room at the Lodge.
Horse Camp starts Monday
The POA is offering a Horse Camp for kids ages 6 and above, beginning Monday, January 4. Sessions are four consecutive days, Monday through Thursday, from 9 to 11 a.m.; the cost is $100 per child.

ACCording to the ACC: Setback definitions
The CC&Rs call for front, side and rear setback restrictions for all lots. Each numbered lot also includes a Community Setback, defined as the area between the curb line and the front line. The depth of this setback varies between 4 and 22 feet, depending on the width of the street in front of the lot.
Senior Center Activities: Start the year with Potluck and POA Politics
Normally residents might think politics would be a serious subject, but this is not always the case for seniors attending the Potluck and POA Politics event at the Senior Center the first Tuesday night of every month, according to spokesperson Sher Adamson. “Talk about a bunch of wild and crazy people – this has got to be it,” she says of the monthly get-together.
