This Week's Official CLPOA News

Looking Back: Looking back at events of past Septembers
40 years ago in September 1971, the major news in the local monthly publication, The Canyon Lake Lighthouse, was the fact that Jay Keegan Jr. was appointed to the new position of “POA Administrator.” Keegan had been elected the previous May to the POA Board, but on July 1 resigned, citing in a letter that he had sold his home on Canyon Lake Dr. North and was moving to Florida. Frank Holden, then POA General Manager, signed a contract to buy a mobile home lot and, two days later, was fired.

Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'Our Idiot Brother'
By definition, an art house flick has limited appeal. As the darling of the Sundance Film Festival, “Our Idiot Brother” attempts to enlighten its audience on what is important in life. There’s an intelligent plot in there somewhere, but substituting simplistic sex scenes for complex issues and F-bombs for dialog is insulting and artistically lazy.
Day Tripping with Mary: Enjoy an 'instant weekend vacation' at Pala
“Laughter is an instant vacation,” Milton Berl once said. The crowd at Pala Casino Events Center on a recent Saturday enjoyed an instant vacation of almost two hours of laughter, thanks to comedian Lewis Black and his warm-up comedian John Bowman.
Cook's Corner: Get a whiff of Ribboned Zucchini Salad
“What is that smell?” asked my husband as he walked into the kitchen. I smiled as I lifted the lid of a ceramic bowl. Inside laid the stubby ends of carrots, some stringy celery, wilted lettuce, coffee grounds – and a black banana peel. “I’m just starting a compost pile,” I answered proudly.
Letter: Small claims process
I paid a business in the Canyon Lake Center for services I did not receive. After many attempts to collect my money or paperwork, I was forced to file a Small Claims Action and was awarded judgment. The judge commented good luck in collecting and I’ve learned why.
Letter: Indian Beach playground
It is with much chagrin that I write this letter. We have lived in Canyon Lake for 10 years and remember the play structure at Indian Beach. Unfortunately, that playground was taken down when all the work was done at Indian Beach, and it was never replaced.
Letter: Pageant thanks
I would like to extend a big thank you to the Chamber of Commerce and its members for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Miss Canyon Lake Scholarship Pageant.

Announcement: Big fish x2!

Some were experienced riders looking for tips and help on an existing trick, but for the most part, it was first-timers who were learning to ride hydrofoils – specifically Sky Skis.
Photo of the Week: Bird's eye view
Residents mostly see their community from the street or the water, but rarely from the air. Here, David Johnston and Marty Hairabedian provide a bird’s eye view of the Lodge area and Sunset Beach, taken from Marty’s plane on July 5. One can only imagine how different this scene would have looked one day earlier.
