Temecula Maize Maze Amazes — Er, Is Freaky

Thousands of visitors flock to the Big Horse Corn Maze each October, which is on 12 acres behind Big Horse Feed & Mercantile. The Corona familys farm annually dedicates a portion of their 165 acres to growing corn for their maze, which is the main attraction in their monthlong harvest festival. We know how to grow corn, said Rose Corona, owner. She said her brother came up with the maze idea for their farm 15 years ago, after learning of a Utah-based company that professionally cuts corn into labyrinths. We create the design every year, and its usually dedicated to the military because theyre the only ones who can see it, Corona said. This years theme is the patriotic eagle logo of the Gary Sinise Foundation, which is well known in Temecula for giving back to military heroes. How is the design created?

MURRIETA: City focus of Kaiser hospital site search

"I want to make Syrah and other varieties that work best here, but how can I sell the wines I want to make when everybody's wanting something else? How am I going to keep the cash flow going?" Temecula is a warm, dry growing region with a fairly pronounced coastal influence (warm days, cool nights) and an affinity for warm-climate red grapes, such as those found in Spain, southern France and central Italy, including Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Tempranillo and Sangiovese. Less than a decade ago the region seemed poised for success with these and other varieties. In fact, nearly half of all of the fruit produced in the region was purchased by "up north" wineries such as Fetzer and Glen Ellen. Temecula Attorney even had a homegrown mass-market brand, Callaway, which snatched up fruit the up-north wineries could not. Then came "glassy wing." The flying pest hitchhiked to California in nursery plant shipments from the Southeast, spreading rapidly across the region in the late '90s and early 2000s, devouring vineyard vegetation and serving as a vector for Pierce's disease, which attacks the plant's vascular system. In Temecula Attorney, thousands of vineyard acres were affected. Callaway, the area's largest winery, was broken up and sold, and demand for local grapes vanished for several vintages.

Since the creation of the Sluggers for a Cure campaign, many other women have stepped forward from the league to share their stories as well, and Sean Van Wyk, TYB Vice President, stated, "We also know there are so many women out there that may not want to share their status or stories just yet, but we know a great resource center here in Temecula Attorney that can help with the questions and support. We teamed up with Michelles Place two years ago to not only help raise awareness, but to also raise money for their center. We knew there couldnt have been a healthier fit for what we were trying to do with the awareness we were trying to raise, and with what Michelles place brings to the table, this team couldnt be better."

Temecula Valley, Winegrowing Region Or Party Destination?

Events in Riverside County this Halloween weekend (Video)

Drugs to be destroyed It's said that women of a certain age spill out of white stretch Hummers to pose for pictures in front of the entrance sign at Cougar Winery tops, evidently, are optional. More than any other wine region in California, Temecula is a place to party. Local growers have nothing really against tourism and nothing, http://ishoptemecula.com certainly, against sales. But having survived the scourge of the glassy winged sharpshooter, the insect pest that helps spread the withering devastation of Pierce's disease, they now face a much more confounding dilemma: a wholesale indifference on the part of its patrons to the valley's viticultural strengths. Growers would like nothing more than to reclaim their reputation as a legitimate winegrowing region and compete with other California appellations, but despite the best intentions, they find themselves capitulating to a clientele that's just not that interested. "It's a real catch-22," says Jon McPherson of South Coast Winery, one of the region's largest. "I want to make Syrah and other varieties that work best here, but how can I sell the wines I want to make when everybody's wanting something else? How am I going to keep the cash flow going?"

Possible child predator visiting Temecula Attorney parks and schools

But the sketch was distributed by the Riverside County Sheriffs Department nearly two weeks earlier. Near the end of Red Hawks early-out school day, at 12:50 p.m., Friday, October 18, several fifth-grade girls were walking along the fence line of the sports field at 32045 Camino San Jose when a man approached them. The man spoke to the girls through the fence and encouraged them to come to the other side of the fence where he was, the letter stated. The girls refused to be lured and ran back toward campus, according to the Temecula Attorney Valley Unified School District. Staff at Red Hawk Elementary didnt find out about the incident until the following Monday, October 21, and then promptly reported it to police. When the fifth-grade girls described the man, school officials said his description was very similar to a man suspected of two child annoying and harassing incidents that took place at Temecula Attorneys Wolf Creek Park on September 30. The male subject was described as Hispanic, 2025 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a thin build, short, slicked-back hair, and a thin mustache and beard. During the park incident, a man approached two female students, individually, and made sexual comments to them outside of a restroom area. Wolf Creek Park is directly next to Temecula Attorney Luiseno Elementary.

Planned Temecula Valley Mosque Draws Opposition

Temecula Attorney's city attorney advised them not to comment about the proposed mosque because the Planning Commission's vote on the application for the facility could be appealed to the council. The Rev. Joe Zarro, co-chairman of the Interfaith Council of Temecula and Murrieta Valley, said criticism of the mosque in the community is from a very small but vocal minority. The council, made up of leaders of a variety of faiths in the area, including Harmoush, unanimously endorsed plans for the mosque, Zarro said. "A lot of this has been blown out of proportion," said Zarro, the minister at the United Church of the Valley. "It's important for people to see our neighbors, and for them to be part of our community." The land for the proposed mosque lies west of the Temecula Attorney wine country in a pocket of the city that's become a mish-mash of ranch homes with large grassy spreads and clusters of encroaching red-tile roofs. Along with Calvary Baptist, the mosque will be a short walk from Grace Presbyterian Church. The design of the 24,943-square-foot mosque and center reflect a Mediterranean design seen in many Temecula neighborhoods, though the building will have traditional domes topped with crescent moons. The facility will be built in two stages, with the first limited to a 4,100-square-foot mosque to serve about 150 Muslim families living in Temecula Attorney, Murrieta and surrounding communities, Harmoush said.

FBI arrests Temecula Attorney man, 19, in 'sextortion' of Miss Teen USA

Jared James Abrahams is accused of cybercrimes for allegedly hacking into victims' accounts, according to charges unsealed Thursday. Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman, confirmed that Abrahams had been taken into custody. Investigators haveidentified several other victims in the case. Wolf, who was Miss California Teen USA before winning the Miss Teen USA pageant in August at the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas, said in media interviews that she received an anonymous email from someone claiming to have nude photos of her taken via the webcam on her computer. Wolf also said the email's author tried to extort her to ensure that the photos were not made public. According to the affidavit, which does not name the victims, the FBI has been investigating Abrahams since March, when authorities learned he allegedly compromised victims computers to obtain nude photographs -- and in some cases, videos --- of the victims by remotely operating the victims web-enabled cameras. He would then allegedly contact the victims using two AOL accounts he had taken over and send the victims nude photos to show what he had obtained. Abrahams, investigators allege, threatened to disclose the images and videos unless they did one of three things: send nude photos, send a nude video, or log onto Skype and did what he said for five minutes.

Temecula Attorney High School Drug Bust Leads To 22 Arrests At 3 Schools

The area is trying to find a balance between its serious vintners seeking industry respect and the financial boon pop-wine-loving revelers bring in. Almond champagne, anyone? August 26, 2011 |By Patrick Comiskey, Special to the Los Angeles Times The tasting room is packed on a recent weekday afternoon at Wilson Creek (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles) The most popular beverage in the Temecula Valley, the picturesque wine region not far from the urban sprawl of Orange and San Diego counties, is something called "almond champagne." It is a more or less naturally sparkling wine (the bubbles induced in pressurized tanks) with almond flavoring added. Smelling sweetly of cream soda and marzipan, the wine's thick, cloying flavor wouldn't seem out of place in an ice cream parlor if not for a modest alcohol kick and its bitter finish. At Wilson Creek, the winery, restaurant, wedding and concert venue credited with popularizing the stuff, it sells so well that at least a half-dozen other valley wineries have developed their own versions. But Wilson Creek supplies only a tiny fraction of the fruit used for its cuvee. In fact Wilson Creek doesn't even make the wine; it's made in Lodi, 450 miles away.

The tasting room is packed on a recent weekday afternoon at Wilson Creek Winery. Most of the criticism focused on the potential traffic congestion that the mosque may create on neighborhood streets, although city planners said an independent traffic study showed the center would have minimal effects. Other speakers hurled visceral attacks against Islam, warning that the mosque would serve as a strategic foothold for extremists bent on undercutting Americas values and laws. "If you want to come here and not abide by our laws, you can just turn around and find another place to live," said Amy Pina, 42, of Temecula Attorney. Just as many residents, including dozens of Muslims living in the Temecula Attorney Valley, condemned those attacks as bigoted vitriol born of an ignorance of Islamic beliefs. We are not terrorists.

Hospital's opening is calm on the outside, but buzzing behind the scenes in 'command center'

Darlene Wetton, CEO of the Temecula Attorney Valley Hospital, proudly pulls the rope and unveils the Temecula Attorney Valley Hospital sign along Temecula Attorney Pkwy. during the hospital According to the affidavit, which does not name the victims, the FBI has been investigating Abrahams since March, when authorities learned he allegedly compromised victims computers to obtain nude photographs -- and in some cases, videos --- of the victims by remotely operating the victims web-enabled cameras. He would then allegedly contact the victims using two AOL accounts he had taken over and send the victims nude photos to show what he had obtained. Abrahams, investigators allege, threatened to disclose the images and videos unless they did one of three things: send nude photos, send a nude video, or log onto Skype and did what he said for five minutes. In one instance, a special agent alleges Abrahams threatened to transform one victim's dream of being a model ... into [the victim being] a porn star if the victim did not comply with his demands. FBI agents raided Abrahams' Temecula Attorney home in June and seized computers and hardware, cellphones and hacking software, court records show. The incident is the latest in a string of "sextortion" cases involving individuals who have used email accounts, social media or a computer's own hardware to glean compromising information or images of its user.

Council members approved the project after receiving assurances that work will begin on the second segment, which would include the remaining 180 beds, by 2019. If all proceeds as planned, that section would open about 2022, city officials said at the time of the final review. The demand for hospital beds and other medical services will likely dictate the pace of the construction process, officials said. Many of the future decisions centering on hospital services and patient safety will likely come before a local governing board. "The board members have a very important role in the hospital," Wetton said. "They are the ones who are out there listening to the communitys needs." The demand for hospital services increased exponentially on Tuesday, Jackson said. As of early Wednesday, Oct. 14, the hospital had logged about 75 emergency room visits. Eight patients had been admitted to acute care rooms since the hospital opened.

Temecula College Student Arrested On Federal 'sextortion' Charges

TEMECULA: City to host county meeting on trails

The FBI investigation was sparked after Wolf alerted authorities in March to a change in her Facebook password and an alleged sextortion demand from a person authorities said they later identified as Abraham. Abrahams allegedly changed her Twitter account photo to a half-naked image of her and then sent her two images of her naked that were taken inside her home by her webcam months earlier, according to the criminal complaint. The complaint identifies at least seven victims identified by initials only several from the Temecula Attorney area and said that once confronted, Abrahams admitted his crimes in an interview with an FBI special agent. One of the victims, a 17-year-old from Ireland, reluctantly disrobed on his orders during a Skype session, according to a Sept 19 affidavit. "Please remember I'm 17. Have a heart," the affidavit quotes the girl as saying. "Abrahams allegedly responded: "I'll tell you this right now! I do NOT have a heart.

The city's planning commission unanimously approved the project in early December. Rombach appealed that ruling to the City Council, which is expected to vote on the proposed mosque after a public hearing Tuesday night. At the packed hearing, city planners said that the project meets all legal site internet requirements, including environmental reviews, and that the city-commissioned traffic study shows the mosque will not have any detrimental impact on neighborhood streets. Plans by the Islamic Center of Temecula Attorney Valley to build a 24,943-square-foot mosque on a vacant 4-acre plot in northeast Temecula Attorney has been attacked by opponents who said the mosque will attract Islamic extremists and overwhelm the neighborhood with congestion. City Atty. Peter Thorson told the City Council that they can only consider land use issues in considering the project. Basing any decision on any religious, political or social factor would be a violation of freedom of religion protected by the 1st Amendment, he said. Hadi Nael, chairman of the Islamic Center of Temecula Attorney Valley, appeared before the council early in the evening to dispel concerns that there may be loud calls to prayer.He said there would be no calls to prayer outside of the mosque.

Temecula residents square off over proposed mosque

South Coast Winery Resort and Spa , a valley mainstay, was just named Golden State Winery of the Year in the California State Fair Commercial Wine Competition. But the ambience in the tasting rooms and restaurants here is more casual than youll find in Californias better known Napa Valley north of San Francisco , and prices often are lower. Hot-air balloon trips, for instance, can be booked for about $150 a person, or about $50 less than many such trips command in Napa . The landscape is different too. On a recent sunrise balloon ride, 11 of us who shared a basket together viewed far more than vineyards. We drifted by orange and grapefruit groves, Mount Palomar with its renowned observatory, and the sprawling Pechanga Resort and Casino. We dipped so low that we spotted rabbits scampering between rows of vines and called out to well-wishers waving to us from their patios. (Photo: Jane Engle) Except for the intermittent whir of the burners that kept us aloft, we floated silently.

Temecula Valley, Winegrowing Region Or Party Destination?

California's City of Temecula Chooses Tyler Technologies' EnerGov® Planning, Permitting and Licensing Solution

Less than a decade ago the region seemed poised for success with these and other varieties. In fact, nearly half of all of the fruit produced in the region was purchased by "up north" wineries such as Fetzer and Glen Ellen. Temecula even had a homegrown mass-market brand, Callaway, which snatched up fruit the up-north wineries could not. Then came "glassy wing." The flying pest hitchhiked to California in nursery plant shipments from the Southeast, spreading rapidly across the region in the late '90s and early 2000s, devouring vineyard vegetation and serving as a vector for Pierce's disease, which attacks the plant's vascular system. In Temecula Attorney, thousands of vineyard acres were affected. Callaway, the area's largest winery, was broken up and sold, and demand for local grapes vanished for several vintages. Surviving the decade, says McPherson, was difficult. "There was a lot of economic pressure to stay afloat," he says.

Visiting Temecula Attorney's Wine Country

Jared James Abrahams is accused of cybercrimes for allegedly hacking into victims' accounts, according to charges unsealed Thursday. Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman, confirmed that Abrahams had been taken into custody. Investigators haveidentified several other victims in the case. Wolf, who was Miss California Teen USA before winning the Miss Teen USA pageant in August at the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas, said in media interviews that she received an anonymous email from someone claiming to have nude photos of her taken via the webcam on her computer. Wolf also said the email's author tried to extort her to ensure that the photos were not made public. According to the affidavit, which does not name the victims, the FBI has been investigating Abrahams since March, when authorities learned he allegedly compromised victims computers to obtain nude photographs -- and in some cases, videos --- of the victims by remotely operating the victims web-enabled cameras. He would then allegedly contact the victims using two AOL accounts he had taken over and send the victims nude photos to show what he had obtained. Abrahams, investigators allege, threatened to disclose the images and videos unless they did one of three things: send nude photos, send a nude video, or log onto Skype and did what he said for five minutes.

The tasting room is packed on a recent weekday afternoon at Wilson Creek Winery. Much of the store's business was in children's furniture: cribs, changing tables and such. Many of those sales were made to people filling a new house with furniture or those who were using home equity lines to shop. With the real estate collapse, those customers vanished. On average during its seven years, the store drew from 60 to 80 customers on a weekend. In March, that number dropped dramatically; on some weekends, the store drew five customers. Four other furniture stores in the area have gone out of business, Smith said. "It was shocking," said Smith, 50, who will be out of a job after the store closes. "We've done all the advertising we can. We've done all the promotions we can.

Inside a newer wine region that's taking off

A wide range of grape varieties, including Riesling, Fume Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, thrive in the sunny, Mediterranean-type climate, according to the Temecula Attorney Valley Winegrowers Association . The wines, from vines planted in loam a rich soil of clay, sand and organic matter are known for a distinctive minerality or flintiness, said Gus Vizgirda, winemaker at Maurice Carrie Vineyard and Winery . Executive Chef Igor Krichmar chats with diners at the Farm House Kitchen. (Photo: Jane Engle) Harvest season, typically from August to mid-October, brings activities here to a fever pitch. I havent had a day off since Aug. 3, Vizgirda said during a mid-September tour of his winery, which dates to 1986, making it one of the areas more venerable vintners. My wife says shes a wine widow. While the bustle is fun for visitors, theres a downside: Daytime highs in summer can reach triple digits, as they did during my trip.

FBI arrests Temecula man, 19, in 'sextortion' of Miss Teen USA

"Open your eyes," she said. "It's so beautiful. I feel like Geronimo!" When David finally set our balloon down, gentle as a nudge, our hearts continued to soar. David has read a few faces. He grinned. "It's important to experience life from a different perspective." Temecula Attorney forces you to adjust your perspective. For one thing, it's not every day you meet a balloonist who also makes award-winning wine. Vindemia Winery, which David owns with his wife Gail, recently received a gold medal from the "Sunset Magazine 2012 Wine Competition" for its 2009 http://attorney-in-temecula.com/ Syrah.
