Wrong address on your census?
If residents receive a census questionnaire with the wrong address, here’s what they should do:
Pool opens for first weekend of spring
Just in time for the first day of spring and the warm weather expected this weekend, the Pool is open and ready for sunbathing and splashing good fun.

City Connection: City honors firefighters who went to Haiti
Two Canyon Lakers know well the death and destruction that can be wrought by earthquakes.

Take steps to prepare for a big earthquake
Recently, a viral e-mail that was not authorized by Cal Fire and the Riverside County Fire Department circulated regarding the possibility of an impending major earthquake, according to Fire Captain and Public Information Officer Fernando Herrera, who says the unauthorized e-mail has been widely forwarded and posted on blogs and other social media sites. This has raised major questions for citizens of Southern California.
Honor roll team brings cheer to community
The cheerleaders from CLMS frequently take time out of their busy schedules for community projects, such as sending dozens of cards to the troops in Afghanistan over the holidays and collecting clothing for local families.
What's SUP?
Canyon Lakers have been seeing more of this unusual sport lately and may want to know more about it. According to www.supclass.com, “Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is an ideal sport to learn on flat bodies of water and incorporates a fun workout with the sensation of walking on water . . .
'Ashley's Closet' sales to go toward scholarships

Passing of NFL star brings back memories
The passing of NFL football Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen last week brought memories to Dr. Vick Knight, Canyon Lake author and school board member. In 1975, Vick had recently had two books published by the Ward Ritchie Press in Los Angeles, and Mr. Olsen had obtained a copy of one of them, “The Night the Crayons Talked.” He called Vick and complimented the author of the story, one combining a theme of tolerance and water conservation. The Rams star wanted to know if he could help promote the book, since his children enjoyed it.

Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Green Zone'
Finally, a war movie with shooting, bombings, chase scenes and war-like action that we’ve come to know and love in real war movies! Paul Greengrass, who directed the last two Bourne features, treats Matt Damon as if he is Bourne again. “Green Zone” is a lot like “Hurt Locker,” except without the psycho-babble; oh, and it’s actually entertaining.
Betsy's Best Bets: Draw in shoppers with these garage sale tips
On recent Saturday mornings, I find myself unable to get out of the neighborhood without screeching to a halt in front of at least one garage or yard sale. I cannot help myself. I just love a good garage sale!
Cook's Corner: Fill up on yeast-free foods for Passover
Several years ago my family attended our first Passover Seder at our friends’ home. Being novices at the Seder sequence of events, my husband and I realized much too late that the traditional four glasses of wine imbibed during the Seder needn’t be full glasses. Our first Passover was renamed the Pass-out. Since then, we’ve become more Seder savvy and now opt for smaller glasses, filled only one-quarter full each time.
Letter: Phone book litter
Recently we have had new phone books delivered to us in our mailboxes. I know many of us do not use a paper phone book any longer due to the speed and accuracy of the Internet. I deposited my phone book into my recycle bin.
Letter: Street legal motorcycles
Our family has lived in Canyon Lake since 1986 and, as a lot of people would say, “you knew the rule against motorcycle riding in Canyon Lake when you moved here,” which I did. However, I’m very curious as to what the original reason was when the policy preventing street legal motorcycles in Canyon Lake was incorporated.
Letter: Candidate statement
This letter is regarding items that I plan on proposing should I be elected:
Letter: Census recommendation
I, like The Friday Flyer, encourage everyone to answer this year’s census, but with one change. The idea is from a blog on columnist Michelle Malkin’s website. The author requests that we pass it on.
Letter: Outside management company
In the last couple of weeks, the cook at the Country Club was fired, the president of the POA resigned, the general manager left and, to the best of my knowledge, a hundred thousand dollar audit is being kept quiet. Who’s next?
