Arlo and Holly Grim take their new pedal boat out for a test drive on the lake. The Grims own the Canyon Lake Clothing Co, which they started shortly after moving to Canyon Lake in January.

Teachers Kathy Blakemore and Laural Hebein enjoy a sunset paddle on the lake. Kathy, a 12 year resident, is a science teacher who will be starting her 30th year of teaching at Elsinore Middle School. Laural, a 20-year resident, is a language arts and social studies teacher who will be starting her 17th year of teaching at EMS. Several of their former students still live in Canyon Lake and say that Kathy and Laural are some of the best teachers they’ve ever had.

The Canyon Lake Car Club held its first drive-in movie event for club members, who were treated to a free viewing of “American Graffiti,” as well as boxed dinners from Chick-fil-A, drinks and popcorn.

John, Jenny, Jake, Jayden and Jayce Teperson use the new “Pokemon Go” app on their cells phones to catch Pokemons out and about in Canyon Lake. “It’s a fun thing we do together as a family,” says Jenny.

Standing next to fencing at the new Sunset Beach playground, the Garza sisters finish up their last Taco Tuesday in Canyon Lake. It was a bitter sweet night for 6-year-old Valerie and 8-year-old Veronica. Their mom, Diana Garza, says, “They are going to miss Canyon Lake and Taco Tuesdays but they are thrilled that we are moving to Hawaii to join their dad, who is deployed there.”

John Winterswyk, accompanied by his 14-year-old son Jeremiah, released nine balloons from the dock at Holiday Harbor in honor of his daughter, who passed away nine years ago. John’s daughter was killed in an automobile accident when she was 3 years old. Releasing balloons on the date of her passing is something he does every year as a way to honor her. A fairly new resident, this was the first time he released the balloons in Canyon Lake.
