Former BMX track owner sues county
Press-Enterprise – Jun 25, 2006
1995: Diane and Robert Barbee purchase the track. 2003: The track closes because of a Riverside County flood-control project. 2006: The Barbees sue the county, the company with which the county contracted to relocate the track and the storage company, alleging failure to help relocate the track. TEMECULA – Diane Barbee still gets phone calls and questions at grocery stores and school events. “Are you open yet?”Barbee was the owner of Rancho BMX, a bike track just south of Old Town Temecula that drew an estimated 8,000 riders a year. Almost three years ago, the track had to close to make way for a Riverside County flood control project. Barbee thought the track would reopen at a new location on Highway 79 South within six months… Glen Beloian, deputy county counsel, declined to comment because he received the suit a week ago and hasn't fully investigated it. An official at Paragon Partners, the company with which the county contracted, did not return calls for comment. Al Davis, owner of Southern California Moving and Storage in Temecula, said he plans to countersue Barbee because she never paid her bill. He said he stored the items for about two years before donating and junking them. 'Tragedy to Lose'Rancho BMX opened on a one-acre leased site on Pujol Street in 1988, a year before Temecula became a city. Diane and Robert Barbee of Wildomar took ownership in 1995, when the previous owners retired. Their son, John, was then 10 and had been riding at the track since 1989.

For decades, the Historic Asolo, then located in a 1950s building elsewhere on the museum grounds, was the focal point of Sarasota’s cultural life. The Asolo Theatre Company performed there for almost 30 years before moving in 1989 to its current home, the FSU Center for.

Morris assembled a crew of about 10 Wylie youths, got funding and drove to the cabin’s site in western Kentucky. There, he and his crew took apart the structure – careful to mark and tag every log so they could reassemble it in Texas. Dallas Moving and Storage donated the 53-foot tractor-trailer needed to haul back the 120 hand-hewn, red oak logs last week. Now the real Humpty Dumpty fun begins – putting it all back together again. The goal is to build a standard 16-by-16-foot cabin that Wylie schoolchildren can tour near downtown Wylie during Pioneer Day activities in May. Morris organized the annual heritage day-type event to give Wylie kids more real life, hands-on experiences.
