Planned Temecula Valley mosque draws opposition

New chef brings authentic Italian cuisine to Paisano's at Pechanga (Photos)

MJ Hong, Owner of The Wine Artist July 18, 2010 |By Phil Willon, Los Angeles Times Muslims throughout Temecula Attorney and Murrieta have saved up for years to build a mosque to replace the plain white industrial building, tucked between a pipeline company and packaging warehouse, where they now gather to pray. But as the Islamic Center of Temecula Attorney Valley moves ahead with plans to build on a four-acre plot of vacant land near Temecula Attorney's gentle hills and invading housing developments, plans for the new mosque have stirred hostility in this mostly conservative community in southwest Riverside County. Along with increased traffic and noise, opponents fear the mosque would clash with Temecula Attorney's rural atmosphere and, they say, possibly turn the community of 105,000 into a haven for Islamic extremists. The pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, just across a cul-de-sac from the site of the mosque, said the two religions "mix like oil and water" and predicted a "confrontational atmosphere" if the project moves forward. "The Islamic foothold is not strong here, and we really don't want to see their influence spread," said Pastor Bill Rench. "There is a concern with all the rumors you hear about sleeper cells and all that.

TEMECULA: Projects provide urban living in suburbia

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?" 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.

They also made olive oil and picked pistachios to use in their cooking. Chef Francesco recalls his grandmother making fresh pastas from scratch while he watched her grind the wheat, roll the dough, and cut the pasta into a variety of shapes. Chef Francesco says he is thrilled to be at Paisanos and loves Temecula Attorney, which he feels has many similarities to his hometown in Sicily because it is a wine- and olive oil-producing region with beautiful rolling hills of vineyards. At Paisanos, his goal is to provide outstanding, authentic Italian cuisine and have his guests leave full and happy and ready to return. Paisanos ambient lighting and warm gold and deep orange colors create a romantic, stylish setting for dining. We were also very impressed with the restaurants iPad beverage menu.

Temecula approves mosque after contentious 8-hour hearing

La-me-temecula-mosque Tuesday night. This is a great day for all of Temecula, really," said Imam Mohamoud Harmoush of the Islamic Center. Now I think we must again devote ourselves to reaching out to the community." Dozens of residents, and speakers from as far away as Los Angeles and Hesperia, voiced their opposition to the center. 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.
