Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'The American'
It doesn’t get much better than seeing George Clooney in an international action thriller. But when the movie is reduced to “see George walk, see George mope, see George stare into space,” this is not what we expected. George offers a very subtle portrayal verging on boring. But, it’s the great Clooney, so let’s go with “subtle” for now.

Letter: Keep golf pro
Currently, a large number of our elected officials, from the federal level all the way to our local POA, have failed to listen to the majority of voters. I now ask our POA to please set a precedent by listening to your fellow Canyon Lakers and vote to keep Dave Lindeman as our golf professional.
Letter: Situation appalling
What kind of show is the POA Board running? I am not a golfer; however, I find the manner in which the POA is handling this golf pro situation appalling.
Letter: Treatment shameful
I wonder how the people who feel that a RFP is an acceptable means to handle employee contracts would feel if the same was done to them? Imagine you held your job for 20 years, and deemed to be doing it well, only to find out that a few disgruntled individuals who simply don’t like you were using their political connections to have you replaced?
