Canyon Lake POA General Manager Eric Kazakoff poses with Canyon Lake pioneers Don and Elinor Martin at the Lighthouse Restaurant last week. Don surprised his wife Elinor to Valentine’s Day dinner to celebrate her 86th birth-day. The Martins were Canyon Lake’s first residents and lived at the lake and ran a fish bait and boat rental shop when the lake was named Railroad Canyon Lake over 50 years ago. Photo by Julie Zimmerman
