Ronald Reagan Statue Torched In Temecula

(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.

Temecula Presents 'Rhapsody In Taps'

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. 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 http://temecula-realestateonline.com for their craft but there is some dispute over which grapes are best suited for its micro-climate.
