I find Paul Zellerbach truly cares about crime victims and their survivors! Don't know how true thisRead More article is, but from what I know, he is a good man. I am a survivor of violent crimes.
Riverside Prosecutor May 20, 2013 at 10:55 pm
Once again, Mr. Zellerbach refuses to face reality and denies the truth. The truth, Mr. Zellerbach,Read More is that you are a failed leader - and the men and women of the DA's Office were the first to see that the emperor is wearing no clothes. Police officers and detectives have also now seen the light. And soon, the public will. As a prosecutor in the DA's office, I can assure the public that this nearly unanimous vote accurately reflects our deep concern for Mr. Zellerbach's failed leadership and its threat to public safety. Ask any other prosecutor or police officer and they will tell you the same thing. The DA's Association endorsed Mr. Hestrin, not because we are upset about work hours (how insulting...Mr. Zellerbach knows the hours prosecutors devote to their cases, especially when in trial) or because we feel entitled to promotions (although it would be nice to finally have a fair promotion policy - which we haven't had under either Pacheco or Zellerbach)....no, we endorsed Mr. Hestrin because he has impeccable integrity (whereas Mr. Zellerbach did nothing but lie during the debates, continues to lie in this article, and condones or even promotes unethical conduct by his top mgrs), he makes public safety his top priority (whereas Mr. Zellerbach makes politics and his own ego his top priority), and he is a proven leader (unlike Mr. Zellerbach who can't lead his way "out of a wet paper bag," to use Mr. Zellerbach's own quip). Our endorsement of Mr. Hestrin was also a vote of no confidence in Mr. Zellerbach, his failed leadership, his ignorance to the growing crime wave, his discrimination against women and minorities (this isn't 1975!), and his broken promises. Mr. Zellerbach - you may not want to face this reality, but we have, police officers have, and the public will.

Bicyclist should have to carry liability insurance if they want to share the roads, otherwise stayRead More home.

Wonderful, now to get to gold would be great. All we need to do is take care of our wreckless, nonRead More traffic law abiding car drivers and we can get there. Along with closing all the gaps. With our police now saturating areas where running red lights, speeding are a huge problem, things can only get better, and lives will be saved in bike lanes, cars, walking, skateboarding, etc.

It is so sad that our state has allowed this to happen. I remember a few years ago when the TVUSDRead More budget was horrible and teacher's were given less than $100.00 to budget their classrooms. Teachers are allowed to ask for donations but can no longer "require" students to bring in supplies for the classroom. PARENT'S need to step up to the plate!! After all these are OUR children and it's our responsibility to help them get the best education they can get. As long as people have the "entitlement" attitude with the public school system I can only see thing getting worse and not better. Please parents, help your teacher's. It does not take a fortune to pick up something extra for the classroom while buying your own child school supplies. Just my opinion!!

A skating rink with ice is more desirable. Temecula and Murrieta have lots of kids involved in iceRead More skating and hockey, but have to drive to Escondido or Riverside to participate.
Brenda May 18, 2013 at 06:28 am
Skating Rink would be great for the kids and adults who grew up skating!
The Peacekeeper May 17, 2013 at 01:14 pm
I second that thought. A roller rink would be great for the kids and "big kids", alike! IRead More recall the fun times going to the roller rink, bowling alley, parks and movies throughout Spring and Summer breaks. There was always the crystal ball spinning on the ceiling during skate contests while the DJ played, "Too Hot", from Cool and the Gang! LOL!!!

We had Mission Pools in Temecula build our pool and would highly recommend them! Brad and the entireRead More team are good, honest and fair people. The process will never be without issues but the few we had were handled quickly and professionally. They do not just build your pool and move on....they are there for years after!! Good solid company that has been around for a long time! Can't say enough good things about Mission Pools!!!

Look at Aloha Pool & Design. In my opinion these guys are honest and do good work Their websiteRead More is http://www.alohapooldesign.com. In my opinion I would avoid Tahitian Pools and Spas of Temecula / Winchester.

We Were Very Happy with Jay's Pool and Spa ~ Temecula. He Built Our Pool and Several of OurRead More Neighbor's Pools, Waterfalls and Backyard Landscaping. Very Honest, Friendly, Reliable and Very, Very Easy to Work With. 951-302-6300 or Check Out His Website jayspoolandspa.com

Photos with persons carrying black backpacks, matching the exploded pack description, are posted atRead More Infowars.com, There are four possibles, with two looking very suspicious.

Nicholas: One thing ... not a nice thing ... which has not been commented upon very much is theRead More fact that this attack carried a "double sting." Not only was it directed against Americans (and their visitors for the Marathon) on "Patriot's Day" in Boston, but sundown on that terrible day marked the 65th Anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel ... at the very instant of which, in 1947, all of the surrounding Arab States simultaneously attacked. This was, if you will, "a double blow" ... and undoubtedly a "double 'Islalmic Terrorist' "Statement." Joseph B. Hudson, Jr., Esq., Fallbrook - (Member, American Society of International Law).

I never felt being Canadian that I would ever come close to losing my sisters to a terrorist attack.Read More Both of them flew to Boston from desperate parts of Canada. Mi youngest sister trained for 5 years qualifying to get in only to injure herself last year . So this was a big event this year for us . When I first heard there where bombs at the finish lines I spent 3 hours wrenched with fear , anger not being able to find out where my sisters where and if they are ok. About 4:00 pacific I heard from my mother that my lil sister crossed the finish line and was 4 blocks away looking for my other sister who was there to cheer her on . Thank God my sister was a fast runner at 3:24 she was out of the area but my other sister was not and saw the carnage just disgusting !... I am bringing here to Temecula for some Rest and happier vacation
