This week’s double feature includes two very different family-friendly films. “Mall Cop” is from Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore Films, and “Hotel for Dogs” is from Nickelodeon Studios.

Letter: Dangerous bus stop
I have an issue with the school bus stop located at the corner of Vacation Dr. and Compass Dr. It seems that after SoCal Edison completed its north side of Compass Dr. conduit and electrical line replacement about two years ago, water has been coming out of the new transformer box located on the vacant lot at a Lake Elsinore school bus stop.
Letter: Witness needed
On Monday, January 12, between 9 a.m. and noon, someone in a silver 1995 to 1997 Ford Crown Victoria collided with the left rear of my pickup truck, which was parked near the top of Continental Dr. in Canyon Lake. The Crown Victoria has damage to the right front, including the mirror. The driver didn’t bother to stop, so I am asking for help from the community in identifying the driver.
