Have fun, be safe this 4th of July!
Canyon Lake is a proud, patriotic community that likes to celebrate the 4th of July with all manner of parties, barbecues and special events, causing the population to swell to 30,000 or more as residents share the magic of this “little bit of paradise” and its special brand of patriotism with friends and family.

City Connection: CLPD offers tips to protect against crimes of opportunity
During the summer, most of us will enjoy the outdoors or take vacations away from home. Even as we relax, it’s important not to let our guard down and become victims of what is called a crime of opportunity. Simply put, crimes of opportunity include auto thefts and burglaries in which property is made easily available to the criminal.
City Connection: Canyon Lake Crime Stats
Part I crimes increased 120 percent over the past two weeks in Canyon Lake, from five to 11. The increase was mainly dues to seven theft cases throughout the area, up from only one the prior two weeks. Two of the theft cases involved family members as suspects, while other theft cases included golf clubs taken from a location on San Joaquin, theft of a stereo system from a boat on Lighthouse and a license plate taken from a trailer on Lassen.
City Connection: AFV director discusses enforcement issues
Animal Friends of the Valleys (AFV) is the agency that handles animal control services for Canyon Lake. From time to time, we feel it is important to let the public know about problems and enforcement issues we encounter in the field. Here are a few of our latest concerns:
City Connection: News and Notes
The Canyon Lake City Council will hold an adjourned regular meeting next Thursday, July 9 at 3 p.m. in the Municipal Services (POA) Boardroom for the purpose of further consideration of the redevelopment plan, including various resolutions certifying the final EIR, finding that the provision of low- and moderate income housing outside the project area will be of benefit to the project area and responding to any written objections to the proposed redevelopment plan.
City Connection: Library says thanks to its 'Friends'
Friends of the Library board members were treated to a surprise party by Library patrons and the appreciative kids who enjoy the various family programs and story times held throughout the year. After they presented a cake, the children gave each board member a hand-drawn thank you card as well as a bouquet of flowers.
Chamber Notes: Tourney raises more than $6,000 for Jr. Golf
The Chamber of Commerce’s 12th annual Ray Chenette Golf Tournament was a success, according to tournament chairman Paul Chenette, who says the event raised in excess of $6,000 for August’s Canyon Lake Jr. Golf Clinic.
Arts and Entertainment
Hosted by the Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce and the City of Canyon Lake, the 4th annual Canyon Lake Community Night at the Storm Stadium will be held Saturday, July 18. According to the Chamber, the event, sponsored by RAS Financial, Costco, Canyon Lake Country Club, Ken and Dorothy Cable and Pepe’s, will be a fun evening for the community with good food, good seats and a good game against the Stockton Ports.
Three cheers for the red, white and blue
If there is one thing that can be said about Canyon Lake it’s that there are a lot of people here who are proud to be American. From the Fiesta Day Parade honoring active and retired military personnel, to the Fine Arts Guild concert with its big show of red, white and blue, to plans the City of Canyon Lake has to honor veterans next fall, people here are not paltry about patriotism.
Fly American flag proudly this weekend
As the nation celebrates its birthday, Canyon Lakers are encouraged to fly their flags proudly. The following are customs and rules pertaining to flying the flag:
Poem: 'I watched the flag pass by one day'
I watched the flag pass by one day, it fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it, and then he stood at ease.
Spotlight on Seniors: Aubrey Zenteno
For Aubrey Zenteno, attaining the highest levels of achievement is important not only academically but spiritually as well. The Elsinore High School valedictorian is thankful for the support system she has through her church, school and family. She says, with their support, she was in the Top 100 all four years, was a scholar athlete, captain of the varsity tennis team, played varsity tennis for three years and junior varsity during her freshman year.
Spotlight on Seniors: Daniel Basubas
Achieving the coveted status of valedictorian while also participating in school activities, athletics, community service and holding down a job is no small feat, but 2009 Temescal Canyon High School graduate and Titan school mascot, Daniel Basubas, had the initiative to do it all. The son of Ed and Peggy Basubas, Daniel has lived in Canyon Lake since the age of 6.
Spotlight on Seniors

Parents are invited to contact The Friday Flyer regarding the accomplishments of their children.
Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'My Sister's Keeper'
Far from being the feel good movie of the year, “My Sister’s Keeper” is an intelligent and thought-provoking melodrama. It is a certified three hanky weeper that addresses a dreadfully difficult topic that is equally difficult to watch. Based on the Jodi Picoult novel, it is heart wrenching, heart warming and did we already say heart wrenching?
It's Miller Time: It's deja vu at the Miller house with 'Flood of 2009'
I sometimes think there’s a little black rain cloud hanging over my house; but before I get ahead of myself, let me tell you this tale of woe from the beginning.
Notes From a Road Once Taken: A Roman quest leads to treasures in history
“All roads lead to Rome.” Long ago, when the Roman Empire ruled much of the rule-able world, this was true; the phrase defined the might and majesty of the Roman Imperium. Now, the Appian Way exists in small, preserved segments, much like the American Mother Road, Route 66, does today and the phrase has come to mean that there are more ways than one to accomplish an objective.

Lettter: Tip hat to TWG
All too often we tend to take things for granted. It seems so easy to do that. Then, every once in a while, when we have time to stop and think about what’s going on around us, we have a chance to remember who is the one responsible.
Letter: Ski rules
It’s nice to post rules; its quite another to enforce them. Most Marine Patrol officers issue no citations other than expired Canyon Lake decals. The rule that pertains to no wake-enhancing devices is a joke. Every wake boat we see on the dock floats or trailers have wake-enhancing devices of some type.
Letter: Eastport upgrades
We all care about our Canyon Lake amenities, including the Eastport Park and launch ramp. After looking at the landscaping plan, published in the June 12 The Friday Flyer, it seems like more attention would have been given to making the area beautiful and pleasant to look at.
Letter: Tea Party
It has come to our attention that the Tea Party that was planned for July 4 at the Main Gate has been canceled. We are very sorry to read it was not approved by the Association. The reasons seem rather weak.
Letter: A distortion
An article in the paper’s June 26 issue attempts to cover the administrative hearing involving Marty Gibson and Pepe’s presentation of “Seduction: Exotic Men of Magic.” The article is obviously shortsighted and reports only one side of an issue affecting our community. It also significantly distorts the substance of the hearing.
Letter: Senior Potluck and Dance
We did it again! The Canyon Lake Senior Center was jumpin’ with intoxicating music and absolute frivolity last Sunday at the monthly potluck and dance. It was unimaginably better than last time! Oh . . . did we have fun!
Letter: WorldHeart fundraiser
On behalf of Linda Blair’s WorldHeart Foundation, we wish to thank all of the Canyon Lake businesses and individuals who made Saturday’s fundraiser a huge success. We raised more than $12,000 so that Linda can continue her work to care for rescued dogs.
Letter: Uplifting tournament
raising golf tournament, held this past weekend, was a lot of fun and very uplifting as the passion from this Hollywood actor, who starred in “The Exorcist,” was exhilarating as she displayed her devotion toward helping abandoned and abused dogs!
Adopt-a-Pet: Conner, Cassie and Bear
This week’s pets include Conner, a friendly 2-year-old white and tan neutered male beagle/husky mix, and Cassie, a cute 10-week-old gray and white female domestic shorthair. Also available is Bear, an adorable brown male chihuahua mix.
