Gas pumps now open at Eastport Market
The new gasoline pumps are now operational at the Eastport Market and the picture says it all. With the local Chevron station in Canyon Hills selling regular gasoline for $3.11 (as of July 21), why wouldn’t Canyon Lakers want to buy their gasoline cheaper just outside the East Gate and keep their gasoline tax dollars in the City of Canyon Lake?

Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Inception' and 'Sorcerer's Apprentice'
Two summer blockbusters star Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicholas Cage! But one flick is remarkable, not that entertaining. And the other is entertaining, but not so remarkable.
Betsy's Best Bets: What to do about annoying summer problems
“Hot enough for ya?” I hate when people ask me that, but I just had to start off this week’s column with the question. We’ve had a great run of luck with the temps lately, but we all knew it was coming: heat wave! With the high heat come many summer problems that plague me every year and make me dream about chilly fall breezes.
Day Tripping: Teen's day-tripping takes her zip-lining in Catalina
Your heart is pounding. You are one step from falling 30 or more feet, yet one jump from flying through the beautiful canyons of Santa Catalina Island. It’s called the Catalina Zip Line Eco Tour. I recently tried this new thrill ride with my friend Mike, who invited me to join him for the day on Catalina Island.
Cook's Corner: Cook without confusion by using the sun
Have you noticed? It’s summer. The overcast mornings have led to some confusion but by afternoon the normal stultifying hotness has arrived. In our corner of the solar system, this summer heat is due to where the earth is in its orbit around the sun. As you might have guessed, my kids and I have embarked on a yearlong astronomy course that includes a study of the sun.
Teen Talk: Discovering the musical talent of unsigned artists
Have you ever noticed how some artists are bad singers but are still famous? A famous singer like this is Johnny Cash. Although he was famous for his monotone singing, he talks throughout most of his songs and is not the best singer. I loved his songs for the words and the tunes, but not for his singing.
Letter: Living in facade
I have lived in Canyon Lake for 12 years and have raised four beautiful kids. I have many friends and family that live in here also who have raised their kids here. However I am leaving, even though I don’t want to. This new generation of Canyon Lake kids has won the battle.

Letter: Frivolous lawsuit
With our City dipping into reserves for the next year or two, why are we reimbursing Barry Talbot for his frivolous lawsuit? The judge dismissed the charges and told him to get thicker skin if he wanted to be a politician.
Letter: Doesn't the loser pay?
The approval by the City Council to reimburse a member for legal costs he incurred in a failed attempt to get restraining order against a Canyon Lake resident provokes some questions: First, if the councilman had won, would the City still reimburse his costs? How is this issue related to the City Council anyway? This incident occurred after a committee meeting.
Letter: Timing of road project
Management of the new road construction is a good barometer of the mindset of the Canyon Lake POA.
Letter: Golf services RFP
I was appalled to learn of the way we are handling the negotiations of the Golf Pro RFP. Here is our pro being part of the circus act conducted July 19 by having Dave associate himself with 12 pros all looking to take his job away.
Near and Far: Washington wedding
At the wedding of their granddaughter Mandie to Josh Ereth on July 10 at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Sal and Shirley D’Agostino took the opportunity to not only share in the tradition of wedding photography poses, they also took part in the Canyon Lake tradition of having a photograph taken with The Friday Flyer.

Adopt-a-pet: Tammy and Shy
This week’s pets are Tammy and Shy. Tammy is a very cute 1 1/2-year-old brown terrier mix who is deaf. She is so very much worth any extra effort a new family might have dealing with her handicap. She’s already spayed, too! “Shy” is a pretty and affectionate 3 or 4-month-old domestic medium haired gray tabby. Her brother is at the shelter, too.
