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.

With the growth of their children they have since moved on from the league but still fill in where needed when it comes to the Sluggers campaign. Erin Stone was in fact the first woman to cross the finish line for the 5k run portion at this past weekends Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. 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." This past weekend, while some were racing, sleeping, or even walking for the cure, TYB was slugging for the cure.

Currently, members must drive north to Riverside or Moreno Valley, or south to San Diego. Thats not to say one cant get treated locally. Under a contract, Kaiser covers most services members receive at two local hospitals run by another company. But there is a big geographic void when it comes to Kaiser hospitals. And there are no immediate plans to fill it. But Kaiser is working on it. After filing a preliminary conceptual plan for a hospital in Temecula Attorney last year, Kaiser Permanente submitted a similar plan with Murrieta a few weeks ago. The latest is for a 900,000-square-foot medical campus on 37.6 acres at Keller Road and Interstate 215.

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, 
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. 
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. 
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 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 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 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 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.

The girls refused and ran back towards school, the letter said. School let out for the day shortly after the encounter and the girls went home without reporting it to their teacher, the letter said. But school officials became aware of the incident Monday and called police. The description of the man is very similar to the suspect description in two Sept. 30 child annoyance incidents at Wolf Creek Park in Temecula, district officials said. Sheriff's officials have released a composite sketch of that man, who approached two girls, ages 12 and 16, near the park restrooms.

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. 
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.

Equestrians say Wine Country historically was crisscrossed by about 70 miles of horse trails. And they hope to preserve them through the plan. Equestrians also say there are many established and legally enforceable trail easements and they want to be able to use them. At the same time, some property owners dont want horse riders crossing their land. The dispute came to a head Sept. 24, and Supervisor Jeff Stone asked for the commissions help in resolving it.

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.

Central Ave Ste 1208 Phoenix, AZ, 85012 Press release date: September 26, 2013 Temecula selects Tylers EnerGov to increase transparency and access for residents and customers PLANO, Texas Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed an agreement with the city of Temecula Attorney, Calif., to implement Tylers EnerGov planning, permitting and licensing solution. The agreement includes related professional services, training and support. After a competitive request for proposal process, the city selected Tylers EnerGov Web-based automation platform for its comprehensive end-to-end permitting and licensing software solutions. Temecula will use EnerGov to provide enhanced online access to services, improve customer service and streamline workflows for increased staff efficiencies. Purchasing Tylers EnerGov solution supports the citys vision and goal of providing a permitting process that will be effective, cost-efficient, provide better connected data, assist with collaboration and promote transparency, said Michael Heslin, Temeculas deputy director of information technology. We expect improved economic growth with EnerGov through an enhanced user experience while ensuring adherence to local regulations and policies for community development. Between 2000 and 2012, the total population of the city of Temecula increased by approximately 45,000 reaching a current population of more than 103,000. Temecula is located in Riverside County, the fourthmost populous county in California. 
The Eugene firm just recently filed the application and the project wont be considered until the spring of next year, Richardson said, possibly by May or June. Over by Vail Elementary School, a Los Angeles-based developer scrapped plans for a 120-unit apartment complex in favor of a 57-unit condo development. The apartments were opposed by the owners of neighboring apartment complexes and some residents who were concerned about traffic. Richardson said the condo plans could be considered by the city early next year. Over by the Home Depot on Temecula Parkway, builders are working on a condo development that was approved last year: a hybrid project of 186 units that will feature motor court and row house units. Grading work is underway and the construction looks to be in full swing. Over in Old Town, San Diego-based developer Ambient Communities is working on a 140-unit condo development, slated for acreage south of the senior development at the end of Pujol Street. Ambient had been considering an apartment complex for that land but decided, like the other developers, to proceed with a condo project. With the rebound in the housing market and limited supply of new product in Temecula, it makes sense to proceed with a for-sale product rather than a rental product, said Ambients Rob Honer in an email to The Press-Enterprise Southwest. 
Commercial vineyards first took root in 1968, but the thennew and humble wine region 1,500 feet above sea level struggled with a tepid reputation until the 80s, when Temecula Attorney won its official stripes as an American Viticultural Area (now known as the Temecula Valley AVA) and began catching the eye of big-city wine critics. In 1987, Temecula wine pioneer and TV lighting director Vicenzo Cilurzos 1983 Miramonte Cabernet Sauvignon was trumpeted by the Los Angeles Times as first-class. The new millennium has seen another blossoming of Temecula Attorney Valleys wineries, which have since doubled in number to more than 40. Its boutique winemakers share at least one thing passion for their craft but there is some dispute over which grapes are best suited for its micro-climate. As Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association President Nicholas Palumbo of Palumbo Family Vineyards explains, the areas low rainfall and greater solar intensity produce an early growing season. Then cold air from the ocean 22 miles to the west creates an ideal weather pattern for growing wine grapes by moderating its warm sunny days and cooling down the nights. While a good Cab isnt hard to find in the valley, the older wineries tend to champion the hearty French varietals that made Northern Californias reputation.

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. To most of the 500,000 or so annual winery visitors, none of this matters. Rather than a wine destination, the Temecula Attorney Valley has become something of a wine playground, where play wines upstage real wines, where "wine country" is a carefully cultivated affair that has less to do with what vineyards produce than with how they look all in the service of a tourist trade run slightly amok. On any given weekend, stretch limos and party vans stream down Rancho California Road filled with partygoers. Cruise ship patrons, on dry land for a few days in San Diego, are carted in by the busload. 
The Il Contorno course featured a Triple A salad of apple, almonds and arugula, accented by sea salt and roasted fig with ricotta. We enjoyed this course with Europas light but flavorful Vienza 2012 Vermentino, which was crispy with nice minerality. The Il Secondo course featured rich and delicious pork and spinach cannelloni served with a fennel sauce, pesto ricotta, roasted zucchini and baby heirloom tomatoes. The accompanying clear red Vienza 2011 Barbera perfectly complemented this course with bold tastes of cherries, strawberries, nutmeg and vanilla. The finale of the evening was the Il Dolce course, a delectable apricot and thyme semifreddo, a frozen mousse-like dessert served with preserved balsamic rhubarb that had been simmered in Europa wine (of course). We learned from Stefano that when you pair a wine with a dessert it should be at least as sweet as the dessert and this was the case with the newly released Vienza 2012 Vanita, a blend of Muscat, Canelli, Viognier, and Vermentino, which enhanced the dessert with its sweet floral notes. These dinners are particularly special because of the talented singers from Temecula Attorneys Fine Arts Ballet Theatre, founded by Bev Stephenson, who with her husband, Dan, is a founder of Europa Village Winery. This evenings singers were John Campbell, Katie Pavao and Josh Pudleiner. 
The vote came at 3:34 a.m. after the council sat patiently into the wee morning hours listening to testimony from residents, largely a replay of the months of debate over the mosque. More than 110 people signed up to testify, though some drifted away after sitting through six hours of speakers. This was a democratic republic at its best," said Councilwoman Maryann Edwards. Plans by the Islamic Center of Temecula Attorney Valley to build a 24,943-square-foot mosque on a vacant 4-acre plot in northeastern Temecula Attorney, next to a Baptist church, have been attacked by opponents who have said the mosque will attract Islamic extremists and overwhelm the neighborhood with traffic congestion and noise. The citys Planning Commission unanimously approved the project in early December, and opponents appealed that ruling to the City Council, which held a packed public hearing on the project starting about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night. This is a great day for all of Temecula Attorney, 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. 
(CBS) TEMECULA, Calif. - Police in Southern California are trying to figure out who set fire to a bronze life-sized statue of former President Ronald Reagan at a park in Temecula, CBS Los Angeles reports. City officials said the year-old statue at Ronald Reagan Sports Park likely burned last Thursday night, since the damage was discovered the next day. Perry Peters, who helps run the non-profit that raised the $100,000 needed to erect the statue and develop the park, told the station he's angry. "I felt that the people, the volunteers who built the park here without government funds, were insulted by this," he said. In 1983, during his first term as president, Reagan reportedly praised Temecula in a speech before the U.S. Olympic Committee for raising the money to develop the park without help from taxpayers. That speech was inscribed on a plaque behind the statue.

When Los Angeles oenophiles are in search of a quick fix, their thoughts usually wander north toward Santa Barbara and beyond. But a promising patch of wine country is fermenting a mere 90 minutes to the southeast, amid 35,000 acres of rolling hills and vineyards in the Temecula Valley. Temeculas winemaking industry actually dates back to 1820, when mission padres began planting the area, 18 miles from Californias first winery at Mission San Juan Capistrano. Commercial vineyards first took root in 1968, but the thennew and humble wine region 1,500 feet above sea level struggled with a tepid reputation until the 80s, when Temecula Attorney won its official stripes as an American Viticultural Area (now known as the Temecula Attorney Valley AVA) and began catching the eye of big-city wine critics.
