EDITOR, THE FRIDAY FLYER
The beginning of the year is not only a time to look to the future but it’s an apt time to reflect on the changes and revisit some of the things that happened in the community over the past 12 months.
Last week, The Friday Flyer featured part two of Year in Review with a look back at some of the things that happened in the community from May through August 2016. This week, The Friday Flyer features the third and final Year In Review with a review of the things that happened in the community from Sep- tember through December 2016.

In September 2016, Canyon Laker Norman Xiong was a member of the United States team that won its fifth straight Junior Ryder Cup with a 15 1/2 to 8 1/2 victory over Europe at Inter- lachen Country Club in Edina, Minne- sota. Norman finished the tournament 1 up.
At the September 6 regular session Board meeting, the Board announced their decision to abandon the location previously approved for the new dog park and, instead, designated a new lo- cation on the upper lawn area at East Port Park.
Resident “Chef Anton” Riniti ap- peared on the Penn & Teller Fool Us television show on September 7. A small handful of the world’s best magicians were invited to be on the show to per- form a five-minute act for the famous magicians. He didn’t “fool” Penn & Teller but he had a good time trying.
