"What's Your Gripe" on Menifee Valley Talk Radio

Therese Daniels chats about "What's Your Gripe" this evening on Menifee Valley Talk Radio...
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/menifeevalleyradioMedia lies, censorship and convolution of the news? HOA Power Abuse? Not enough good restaurants? Taxes too high? Too much trivial code enforcement? More youth activities? Obama? McCain? Useless age restricted communities? The declining economy? The was in Real Estate? Lenders? Homeless people? Irag? Child abuse? The usual "stuff"!?
For those of you who have been following this program since we began with thunder and lightening last May, you know I have plenty of gripes. Among my most well known are the abuse of power of HOA's, the stupidity of age restriction in non gated communities, the corruption of politicians, the watered down pudding the media calls news, and my latest favorite is Obama-nobama-pompous windbag. Airing gripes is part of the reason I created Menifee Valley Talk Radio. I discovered often what bothers me bothers you. With that in mind, it occurred to me if we shared ideas we might also discover solutions. So don't forget to listen tonight and call in with your favorite gripe!
She says she'll have a surprise guest speaker.

by Steve
7/25/2008 08:23:00 PM
This Sunday, July 27, at 7:00pm, "Gangs and Truancy in Menifee" will be discussed on Menifee Valley Talk Radio. This is actually the second of a two-part series.
Last week, on part one of the series, Therese and Mieke talked about school truancy and drop out rates, and connected that to a growing population of gangs and gang members roaming throughout Menifee.
This Sunday, part two will feature Senior Deputy District Attorney Jerry Lopez, head of the Riverside County Gang Task Force—Prevention and Intervention. Lopez is the coordinator for Project Safe Neighborhoods, and is a veteran community prosecutor and community liaison specializing in youth intervention services.

Home Owners Associations - Menifee Valley Talk Radio
by Steve
6/12/2008 03:16:00 PM
The topic of home owners associations will be discussed this evening on Menifee Valley Talk Radio.
Therese Daniels and Mieke Jacobs will begin a series of discussions about information that titleholders need to know about their Home Owners Association.
Sun City Core residents might take particular interest in this because Therese will talk about a book called, "Villa Apalling, Destroying the Myth of Affordable Living", written by Los Angeles Times columnists Donie Vanitzian and Stephen Glassman. The book focuses on deed-restricted properties, such as those in Sun City Core, and explores the myth that such living arrangements allow for greater owner "freedoms" and "independence," but instead promote "dependence," destroying individual personal freedoms.
The show runs from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, tonight. You can call in and talk to Therese all about the Sun City Civic Association and its codes and regulations. Listen to show online here...

Deane Foote - What Do You Think?
by Steve
6/02/2008 10:17:00 PM
Deane Foote is a candidate for Riverside County 3rd District Supervisor, running against Jeff Stone.
He was on Menifee Valley Radio this evening talking about his candidacy. You can hear a replay of the show here...
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/..../Menifee-Talk-Radio-Pro-ConWhat do you folks think about him?
I got the sense that he has very good intentions, but that he doesn't have a firm grasp of the issues in the 3rd District. When asked some tough questions, it sounded like he was looking for something to say, rather than knowing what to say.
The position of County Supervisor is really an administrative one, not like a city council position. The Supervisor needs to delegate work to his staff, be able to demand results, and exude a leadership persona. I didn't get the sense that Foote has these qualities. Some people are just born with the ability administrate, I just don't think that's Foote.
I'm not necessarily saying that's Stone either. I think Foote would find himself in over his head with problems and deadlines, and incapable of managing.
Also on the show, were city council candidates, Carol Sullivan, Scott Mann, Sue Kristjansson, and Tom Fuhrman.
Fuhrman mentioned something about an election night party at Wooden Nickel Ranch.

Dean Foote Talks on Menifee Valley Radio
by Steve
6/02/2008 12:59:00 PM
Deane Foote, who is challenging Jeff Stone for the 3rd District Supervisor seat, will be the guest tonight on Menifee Valley Radio.
The shows airs 8:00pm.
You can hear the show online at...
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/MenifeeValleyRadioHere's what the
Valley News says about Foote...
Stone's primary campaign opponent is Deane Foote, a Temecula area winery owner and organic farmer. Foote is president of the Southwest California Vintners Association, but he lacks the degree of name recognition that Stone has built throughout the area over the past two decades.
Foote, 57, has described his campaign as a grassroots effort, and he submitted documents indicating he had not raised or spent more than $1,000 in the race, according to county officials. He has cited traffic congestion and a possible need for a drought-related moratorium on subdivision approvals and construction as key issues.
The Valley Chronicle says the following...
Deane Foote has a selling point in his bid for the Riverside County Third District supervisor's seat: He is beholden to no one. He has taken no campaign funds, and so he owes no one anything.
That's the same stand David Peters has taken in his run for the state's 37th Senatorial District. And much like Peters, the selling point just does not have enough sell.
Foote, like Peters, has not prepared himself enough for the position. The organic farmer and winery owner, for instance, backs a half-cent sales tax to keep the county solvent during California's budget crisis, but he does not yet know how he would spend the money coming in.

Menifee Valley Talk Radio - Tonight
by Steve
5/30/2008 04:01:00 PM
Menifee Valley Talk Radio ran their first prime time broadcast, this evening at 8:00pm.
Rita Peters, trustee with the Menifee Union School District board was the special guest this evening and explained her opposition to cityhood, from the standpoint of a long time Quail Valley resident who doesn't agree her community should be a part of the new city.
Two city council candidates called in to speak, Scott Mann and Tom Fuhrman. Mann spoke to counter the anti-cityhood remarks made by Peters. Fuhrman described himself as the rural representative on the list of city council candidates, and went on to speak about some interesting history on eminent domain here in the valley.

Menifee Valley Talk Radio - Show #4
by Steve
5/28/2008 07:13:00 PM
This morning Menifee Valley Talk Radio ran it's fourth show. You can hear a replay here...
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/..../Menifee-Valley-Talk-RadioTherese's co-host, Chuck Reuter was not there taking care of some personal matters, so Julie Johnson sat in his place. Julie was the former CEO of both the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce and Menifee Sun City Chamber of Commerce, as well as a former legislative aid for 3rd District Supervisor, Jeff Stone.
Mid-way into the show, Therese listed off her picks for city council, Wallace Edgerton, Sue Kristjansson, Chris Thomas, Scott Mann, and Darci Castillejos.
She also named off her list of "definitely not" for city council.
Much of the discussion focused on countering arguments put forth by Anne Pica, who was the special guest of last Monday's show, and who chairs the Citizens Against Cityhood campaign, as well as talking about the laundry list of campaign contributions from developers.

Menifee Valley Talk Radio - Show #3
by Steve
5/26/2008 09:14:00 PM
Therese Daniels and Chuck Reuter broadcast their 3rd edition of Menifee Valley Talk Radio.
You can hear a replay of the show here...
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/..../Menifee-Valley-Talk-RadioTheir special guest was Anne Pica, who is leading the "Citizens Against Cityhood". She spoke in detail about her opposition to cityhood, and responded to arguments from cityhood proponents. While she did provide a lot of opinion, I didn't really hear her explain why she is voting no on cityhood. That is, she tried to dispel the pros of cityhood, and tried to explain that it would not be the panacea to all our ills, but she didn't explain how remaining an unincorporated area would give us a better way of life.
In my opinion, I heard a lot of bitterness from Anne, always using the words, "you guys", when addressing the candidates. I got the sense that she clearly sees a division between Menifee and Sun City. I wonder if her campaign is more about animosity against the influx of newcomers to Menifee, than it is about logic. I'll add that the people in Sun City Core were newcomers at one time too.
Therese Daniels spoke at length of her opposition to Jerry Stamper, one of the city council candidates, citing numerous reasons.
The show had three city council candidates on the air, including write-ins Jason Roth and Sue Kristjansson, as well as Chris Thomas.
Nancy Knight, publisher of The Bugle, was also on the air.
Interestingly, Chris Thomas asked the show's hosts if they knew anything about candidate signs being torn down, suggesting that someone was going around pulling certain signs out of the ground.

Candidates Speak on Menifee Valley Talk Radio
by Steve
5/23/2008 11:57:00 AM
This morning's broadcast of Menifee Valley Talk Radio welcomed five city council candidates who got to speak on the show.
You can listen to a replay of the show using the player below, (click on the arrow to the left)...
Marc Miller spoke about his involvement launching and running the cityhood incorporation movement, and expressed his desire to retain the rural aspect of Menifee Valley.
Fred Twyman came on to speak about why he chose to run for city council, citing his frustration with trying to address County officials, and also spoke about his plans to increase public parks and recreational facilities. He'd like to convert the entire Salt Creek into a useable public park, with picnic grounds and walking trails.
Sue Kristjansson expressed her master plan to make Menifee "awesome", bringing in sports and recreation facilities, and talked about the need for more public transportation options in Menifee.
Chris Thomas talked about his background as a financial auditor, having audited public entities like municipalities, companies, and various public institutions. He said that the new city of Menifee will be required to honor all development projects currently approved by the County, and that when cityhood appeared to be eminent, developers came crawling out of the woodwork to get their projects approved by the County.
Scott Mann talked about his long background as a Naval "Mustang" Officer, and expressed his character as being one of integrity, and of strict protocol. He talked about the lawsuits that the City of Perris slapped on LAFCO, which requires the future city of Menifee share revenue with Perris, and said that he doesn't believe that what the newspapers reported is accurate, and that Menifee could possibly find a way out of that.
The show's special guest was Mieke Jacobs, who writes articles for MenifeeLive.com, and moderates their forum. She had the pleasure of asking several questions to the candidates.

Menifee Valley Talk Radio - a Success
by Steve
5/21/2008 12:23:00 PM
This morning at 10:00am, I had a chance to listen in on the first broadcast of Menifee Valley Talk Radio.
You can now hear the full replay of the show using the link below...
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/..../Menifee-Valley-Talk-RadioThe special guest was Julie Johnson, former CEO of the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce, as well as former CEO of the Menifee Sun City Chamber of Commerce. Julie was there for the entire 2 hours, and shared her thoughts and experience about many of the candidates for city council, and named specific candidates that she would not support, why they would be bad for the new city, as well as those she would support.
A lot of discussion was placed on city council candidates who are also current members of the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce, and discussed the conflict of interest that their elections would create, particularly through their relationship with developers, and their intentions for running.
Therese Daniels, one of the show's hosts, spent some time about why she's supporting Wallace Edgerton for city council.
Two candidates called into the show, Darci Castillejos, and Sue Kristjansson, and spoke about their candidacies. Sue spoke only briefly, while Darci was on the show for about 30 minutes.
A few other listeners called in with their questions and comments, including one who works in the CalFire department, and talked about the state of the emergency services department.
There was also some problems hearing the show due to browser problems. It seems that Internet Explorer has some troubles delivering the audio. I was able to hear the show fine using the Firefox browser. Others said that the audio came through fine when listening to show in their native audio player.
One of the nice aspects of tuning into the show, is that you can also take part in the "chat room", and talk to the other listeners. At one point, there were as many as 16 people in the chat room, including some city council candidates.
