Editor, The Friday Flyer: What a wonderful day on Friday, November 11, 2011. The day was so beautiful and the sun so bright. The Veterans Ceremony was perfection. Enough thanks cannot be extended to the City of Canyon Lake, the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce, the Canyon Lake Merchant Owners Association and the Canyon Lake Property Owners Association. Appreciation also to the Canyon Lake Commu…
Editor, The Friday Flyer: The 2011 Veterans Day celebration was our gift to veterans and active duty armed service members. The committee of Bert Barbay, Karen Bevans, Sue Bonner, Susanne Cordeiro, Ginny Farris, Carol Froehlich, Debby Gagnon, Michelle Gordon, Nancy Greenhalgh, Deborah Harrington, Steve Hipsak, Ellen Iacono, Lynn Jensen, Lori Moss, Donna Nunez, Mary Petty, Bryan Pitotti, John Sto…
Editor, The Friday Flyer: The Friday Flyer’s 300-word limit for Letters to the Editor is far too inadequate to fully describe our appreciation for the wonderful Veterans Day memorial program last Friday, 11-11-11. So we’ll just say the lasting memory of the music, the ceremonial presentation of our flag, the flyover, the spoken words and the unveiling of the beautiful monument demonstrated…
Editor, The Friday Flyer: Regarding the lawsuit against the City of Canyon Lake regarding the unfortunate drowning accident that occurred on December 22, 2010, we have to ask where our police force was that night? Canyon Lake contracts with Riverside County Sheriff to keep our City safe. The North Causeway and the Main Causeway had already flooded that night. It continued to rain at a steady …
Editor, The Friday Flyer: I believe last week's dark humor piece, Letter to the Editor “Open Carry,” is a direct response to Larry Neigel’s public comment in The Friday Flyer telling everyone that it is lawful to carry a gun inside our private community. This comment came from one of our so-called security experts. The letter from Larry was totally irresponsible and unacceptable from a Boar…
Editor, The Friday Flyer: Mr. Parson’s letter of last week more closely resembles the pious intonations of some cloistered monk. It is a fact that many people living in Canyon Lake are here because, among other things, they don’t care to live in liberal-dominated communities. I sure didn’t. Throughout Parson’s rant, the old familiar tone of smug bourgeois liberal arrogance comes through…
Editor, The Friday Flyer: If someone calls and asks for you to wire money, be sure it the person they say they are. Ask a question only would know the answer to. I was so positive I was talking to my grandson, I didn't question him and got scammed for $7,000. Don't let it happen to you. Joan Marshall…
Editor, The Friday Flyer The lack of competent management of Canyon Lake has taken a huge toll on this City over the last few years. We have endured the unfriendly business environment proposing having all real estate agents to pay for business licenses, the temporary sign restrictions, private parties at homes in the private community of Canyon Lake having to pay the City for a permit on privat…
Editor, The Friday Flyer: In the Member Communications article printed in the November 4th edition of The Friday Flyer, POA Board Secretary Haggerty makes invalid assertions that essentially compare apples to pomegranates. Amenity utilization figures and expenditures pertaining to Gault Field, Happy Camp and the Equestrian Center are compared to the proposed tennis building. The costs cited (…
Editor, The Friday Flyer: The Robert Holts Big Band was a blast! The Lodge rocked Saturday night as a full house audience was transported from New York to Rio and back to LA by the swinging Robert Holts Orchestra. The Mellowtones, the band's vocal group, rifled and swung on a number of the sides. Included in the Mellowtones was the wife of one of Canyon Lake's own, Rick Ebrecht. Rick's wife has t…
Editor, The Friday Flyer: I believe the POA is moving in the correct direction by considering their own security department. I had a poor experience with Allied Barton over the Labor Day weekend, which I did report to the POA. My two young daughters and myself were camping in the Campground with friends and there was some very drunk individuals that were acting terribly and using profanity with a…
