State budget cuts threaten Temecula courthouse

http://temecula-re-helpcenter.org So it's a very busy place." As required by the state when considering the closure of a courthouse, the Superior Court must issue public notices, which went out Monday. Two of the fliers were posted at the Temecula Attorney courthouse's entrance and they caught the eye and the chagrin of attorney Daniel Hough. "I do almost 80 percent of my cases in this court," he said. "I've been here two to three times a week for the last 10 years." In addition to several windows for transactions, the courthouse features one courtroom presided over by Judge Mark E. Peterson and his staff, and is situated in the same complex as a county assessor's office and a Temecula library branch. Hough said the judge processes civil cases very efficiently and it would be a loss to the attorneys and their clients if Peterson and his staff were reassigned anywhere other than Southwest. However, he said, the loss of the Temecula branch still would be an inconvenience because of the distance, parking issues and congested courtrooms at Southwest. He said he would raise the issue of the potential loss with the Southwest Riverside County Bar Association's board, of which he is a member.

TEMECULA: Glow kicks off Balloon & Wine Fest

Sunday at Lake Skinner, according to organizers. Hundreds of people strolled with wine glasses in hand and chatted at numerous tables while others lounged in folding chairs on the lawn watching bands on two stages. "I'm digging the atmosphere, the old-school music," said Nick Mitchell, a 28-year-old Temecula Attorney resident. Kanan Road, Easton Corbin and former American Idol contestant Scotty McCreery performed on the main stage Friday while various local groups played the smaller Wine Stage until 10 p.m. The festival attracted a crowd at least as big as last year's event based on ticket pre-sales, according to Melody Brunsting, a spokeswoman for the event. Prior to the weekend, organizers had expected 40,000 people. "It looks like we're going to have a good crowd, and the weather's perfect," she said. VIDEO: Temecula Attorney Valley Balloon and Wine Festival This year, the event premiered at least two new features: a beer and food-pairing tent and a hot air balloon shaped like a boy in a wheelchair with his arms stretched skyward titled "Reach for the Stars," Brunsting said.

TEMECULA: All-American Rejects singer joins the audience

Many reached over in an attempt to touch Ritter while security — a group of Camp Pendleton Marines on volunteer duty — seemed surprisingly unfazed by the move. Tyson Ritter of The All-American Rejects continues singing and joining the audience at the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival on Saturday. PHOTO BY LIAM M. TRUCHARD Eventually, Ritter returned to the stage, but not before one last act of interaction. As he approached the stage support to climb back up, an audience member held her hands up and cheered. Ritter casually gave her a high five, then climbed back on stage. Hey, he's a rock star.
