area’s vineyard estates offer up the same quality wines and luxury accommodations as more well-known wine producing regions around the world, yet at a fraction of the cost. South Coast Winery Resort & Spa makes no exceptions. Located at the corner of Rancho California and Anza Road, in the heart of Temecula’s pristine wine country, South Coast Winery Resort & Spa has earned itself over 1,000 wine awards and medals in just a few short years of production.

memory-making adventures or specialty meeting planners seeking world-class wine, served up with world-class hospitality, in world-class style. Best of all, this world-class style is yours for the taking without driving too far from home – no outrageous price points at the gas pumps, no passports, no long lines, and no boarding passes of any kind!

South Coast Winery Resort & Spa Owner, Jim Carter’s vision is simple: “to create the romance of a Wine Country experience with the blending of nature, fine wine, fine food, and elegant comforts presented to our guests with gracious hospitality.

top 5 networKing tips for young ProfEssionals

Whether you are looking for a job, just entering the workforce or beginning to establish yourself as

a seasoned professional, networking is essential in building your connections. You also want to be sure that you are making the right connections and leaving the right impression. As the old adage says “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” following a few simple networking tips can help any young professional expand their opportunities and grow a network of professional contacts and resources.

1. Identify OpportunitiesIf you have never networked before and don’t know where to start, seek out local groups that fit your objectives. Most industries have professional associations you can join to mingle with other professionals in your field. If you are looking to promote yourself or your business to a more general audience, a networking group through your local Chamber of Commerce, City or business association can provide a great platform to begin making connections.

2. Look the partNo matter what type of business you are in, you should always dress to impress. Whether you are at work, attending a networking event or meeting a potential client, you should always be dressed in a professional manner. It is always better to feel overdressed versus dressed too casual for the situation.

3. Distinguish YourselfWhen at a networking event, you want to connect with other attendees by approaching them and introducing yourself as well as make yourself approachable. Having a name tag is a great way to establish an identity among other attendees. With your name and title or logo on a professionally made nametag gives the impression that you are serious about networking. Even if you are a job seeker, having a name tag with your name and industry will immediately identify your objectives to potential employers.

4. Be PreparedWhen you decide to begin networking, identify your key objectives and talking points. If you are a sales person, pinpoint who your potential customers are and the benefits of your business they need to hear. You never know where you might meet your next client, boss or business partner so also have a networking mindset. When you are at a restaurant or even the gas station, the person pumping gas next to you may be the CEO of your dream customer.

5. Leave Them Wanting MoreThe business card may be the single most important aspect of networking. When making a new connection, you can have the greatest conversation with promising results but if they don’t have a way to contact you, you’ve lost that connection. A business card should include your basic contact information such as name, title,

business name, phone number, email and website address. If you are a job seeker, you should include your name, phone number and email as well as your qualifications or desired position. And long gone are the days of the boring business card. Being creative in your design will help make you a standout and immediately convey your personality. Handing out marketing collateral such as brochures and handouts is also a great way to provide helpful, lasting information about who you are and what you do..

ciTY newsnot Your tYpicAl open spAceWorlD Class santa margarita ECologiCal rEsErVE annExED into City of tEmECula

You’ve passed it a million times driving southbound to San Diego….the rock-strewn mountainous hillside hugging both sides of the I-15 freeway. Travelling northbound, these hills provide a majestic gateway into

the County of Riverside and Temecula Valley. We dare you to take a look west; beyond the dramatic beauty of the hills and scattered rock outcroppings... you won’t believe your eyes.

To the west and over the hills, through the brush and around scattered rock outcroppings lie 4,510 acres of land recently annexed into the City of Temecula limits. Approximately 95% of this land encompasses the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve (SMER) managed by San Diego State University (SDSU) as a world class ecological reserve: A sanctuary not just for wildlife but for scientists, researchers, organizations and students from all over the world drawn to its unique ecology, climate, setting and beauty.

The SMER is comprised of thousands of acres of pristine open

space with elevations ranging from 500 to 2,000 feet above sea level. At the base of the SMER is the Santa Margarita River. This river is the last free flowing river flowing into the ocean in all of Southern California.

The Santa Margarita River begins at the confluence of Temecula Creek and Murrieta Creek at the Temecula city limits. The river flows through the Temecula Gorge traversing through the Ecological Reserve and primarily undeveloped lands of Camp Pendleton to the west and ultimately empties into the Pacific Ocean. The Santa Margarita River is also the last intact riparian corridor in Southern California and an important water source for Camp Pendleton.

The Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve is in the center of the last viable linkage for wildlife that connects the Inland Mountains to the Coastal Mountain Range. This wildlife corridor is the only remaining natural habitat connection for the coastal Santa Ana Mountains to the inland ranges often referred to as the “Palomar to Pacific” wildlife linkage. The protection of wildlife movement is critical to the vitality of the ecosystem connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Inland Coastal Mountain Range.

The SMER is truly unlike any open space of its kind. San Diego State University understands this and has managed it as a research facility since 1962 drawing students from many universities, as well as various regional, state and federal organizations, and researchers/scientists nationally and internationally, to its irreplaceable setting. The pristine nature of the SMER provides a rare resource for ecological, environmental and technological research and advancement. Hundreds of research projects have been conducted on the property over the past half-century.

Millions of dollars have been invested in the SMER to provide scientific data; all of which support job opportunities as well as important information on the environment, historical data, and the future forecasts. This preserve is more than just a unique ecology that provides an abundance of environmental information to researchers, it’s a scientific laboratory. In fact, the SMER has over 60 observatories deployed throughout its property providing a network of environmental sensors, data collection middleware, wired and wireless communication networks, and web-applications to the scientific and educational communities with real-time access to environmental data.

Next time you’re traveling on the Interstate 15S freeway, you’ll know that those hills are not only the grand and magnificent gateway to Riverside County but the entrance to Southern California’s most sensitive and critical environmental ecosystem.

San Diego State offers SMER tours to the public. To schedule a tour or for more information on the reserve, log onto San Diego State’s website: smer.sdsu.edu or the City of Temecula at: www.cityoftemecula.org.

teMeculA VAlleY chAMber oF coMMerce aDDs BusinEss Community VoiCE to ProPosED laWs

The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce tracks issues each year at all levels of government

that might have an impact on the regional business community. Specially, several proposals at the state-level will have an impact on our local economy.

“The Chamber is working closely with state officials to make sure our business community’s point of view is represented before any decisions are made,” stated Alice Sullivan, President/CEO of the Temecula Valley Chamber.

The following state proposals are some of the most recent issues being tracked by the Chamber:

H.R. 41 (Issa, Darrell, [R-CA]) Beauty Mountain and Agua Tibia Wilderness Act of 2011 – Temecula Valley Chamber Position: SUPPORT

H.R. 41 would add 13,635 acres to the existing 15,627-acre Beauty Mountain Wilderness. This proposal would be a welcomed addition to the current and recently created Beauty Mountain Wilderness acreage that can be enjoyed by all for years to come. It also allows public lands to be managed by the Bureau of Land Management in northern San Diego County. The state funded park system continues to be in jeopardy and H.R. 41 will ensure the Beauty Mountain Wilderness area will be protected.

AB 318 (Skinner) Corporation Taxes Reporting Requirements Temecula Valley Chamber Position: OPPOSE

AB 318 would needlessly violate taxpayer privacy to provide information already available to the Legislature and the public

in aggregate form through the Franchise Tax Board’s (FTB) and Department of Finance’s (DOF) annual tax expenditure reports. The only information AB 318 would make available that is not already available to policy-makers or the public is the names of select corporate taxpayers and which expenditures they take advantage of. It is unclear why, if it is beneficial to know exactly which taxpayers use which tax expenditures, AB 318 does not require such information to be reported for all tax expenditures.

If the goal of only selectively including information about specific taxpayers is to protect taxpayer privacy, we should preserve that protection for all taxpayers. If the goal is to lower the cost of producing the report, we could avoid those costs altogether by not requiring a report that essentially duplicates work already being done by the FTB and DOF.

AB 401 (Ammiano - D) Charter Schools Temecula Valley Chamber Position: OPPOSE

AB 401 which would limit the maximum total number of charter schools authorized to operate in the state to 1,450. AB 401 would place a moratorium on increasing the number of charter schools and eliminate other educational options for our local school districts to consider. Charter schools have proven to be an efficient alternative to some current public schools across our state. AB 401 also takes away the option of a charter school for a district once 10 percent of the schools in the district are charter schools. Again, this will take away alternative educational options from the school district to consider.

AB 10 (Alejo) Minimum Wage: Annual Adjustment Temecula Valley Chamber Position: OPPOSE

AB 10 (Alejo) would increase the cost of doing business for employers in California by raising the state minimum wage to $8.50 per hour in January 2012, and then automatically indexes the wage rate upwards ever year thereafter according to the annual percentage of inflation.

Given the current financial strain employers are under in this state due to the recession, employers cannot take the hit of this increased minimum wage. California is already lagging the rest of the nation in recovering from this recession, and is anticipated to continue to lag until at least 2012. This increase in minimum wage could set California back even further. Although a $0.50 increase may sound minimal in theory, the realistic impact is significant. For example, a small business, with 10 full-time, hourly employees who are paid minimum wage, will face an annual payroll increase of $10,400 in January 2012 due to the $0.50 increase.

An increase in minimum wage would not only increase hourly employees’ wages, but salaried employees’ compensation as well. In order for employees to qualify as “exempt” under any of the six exemptions in California, they must meet the salary-basis test, which is two times the monthly minimum wage. If AB 10 is implemented, that amount in January 2012 will rise from an annual salary of at least $33,280 to $35,360, which is an increased cost to employers of $2,080 per exempt employee. This cost will also continue to increase for employers each year due to the proposed annual indexing.

buSineSS newsbusiness & eMploYMent lAw upDAteEmPloyEE “rEtaliation” laWsuits against EmPloyErs on thE risE

Most employee protection legislative schemes, such as those governing wages and barring discrimination, contain provisions prohibiting employers from engaging in

“retaliation.” Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee in response to that employee’s assertion of statutory rights. Prohibitions on retaliation seek to make employee protections meaningful, as employees would be reluctant to assert their rights if they could be fired (or otherwise treated adversely) for doing so.

For example, the California Labor Code prohibits employers from discharging or taking other adverse action against an employee who exercises her rights under the Code or participates as a witness in Labor Commissioner proceedings. The Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), a federal legislative scheme governing wages, contains a similar provision.

Employee retaliation claims against employers appear to be on the rise. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently reported that retaliation claims were the most frequently filed charge against employers in 2010, surpassing race discrimination as the leading category for the first time.

Also, recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions in two high-profile retaliation cases will likely increase the filing of these claims. In one case, the Court allowed an employee to pursue a retaliation claim alleging that he was fired not for his own assertion of rights, but as the employer’s way of retaliating against his fiancée for her filing of a gender discrimination charge. The decision creates uncertainty for employers contemplating adverse action against an employee, if that employee has a close relationship with another who has asserted statutory rights. Taking adverse action against the former may be construed as indirect retaliation against the latter. In the other case, the Court ruled that the FLSA’s anti-retaliation provision protects employees who make merely verbal complaints about their wages, as opposed to written ones. This decision can create uncertainty for employers as well, as it may not always be clear that an employee’s verbal utterance is a serious assertion of statutory rights.

Juries can be very receptive to retaliation claims. Late last year, a jury awarded a warehouse shopping chain worker almost $1 million on his retaliation claim. The employee had alleged that he was demoted in retaliation for complaining about an

offensive comment. Also last year, a jury awarded a police officer approximately $4 million in his retaliation suit, which claimed that he was fired for testifying in another officer’s wage case against the department.

Employers should consult with employment counsel to better guard against retaliation claims. Careful handling of an employee’s assertion of statutory rights can sometimes prevent the claim from ever happening.

buSineSS newsstArting A business?you nEED a tEam of aDVisors

Many small business owners, particularly in their formative years, wind up getting their business started right on the kitchen table. Driven more by the practical need for money to cover basic living expenses rather than sound business strategy, many of these newfound entrepreneurs trudge forward doing what they know works rather than being analytical and/or strategic. It is certainly possible to get away with this for a while, but at some point your

business will stumble across growth obstacles without a trusted team of advisors backing you up.

As a business person, I would argue you need the advice and guidance of the following four professions: 1) accountant 2) banker 3) insurance agent 4) lawyer. It’s your job to seek these people out and build meaningful relationships with them that will secure your business interests.

Your accountant should have 10 to 20 years experience and an impressive resume that demonstrates significant experience representing small businesses. The guy that does your personal taxes every year is not always the best candidate for this position. Business tax law is complex and changes annually. Do not make the mistake of trying to be your own accountant.

Your banker is the guy that is going to give you the credit you need to get through tight cash flow situations. You will need to purchase (and eventually replace) capital equipment, hire employees and purchase inventory. Some people have a rich uncle to do this for them but most do not. Building a healthy relationship with a banker makes the act of borrowing money much easier for most people. The best time to look for money is when you don’t need it.

Your insurance agent will help protect your business from the multiple catastrophes of burglary, fire, flood and data loss in most cases. Finding someone you can trust to give you the best coverage at the fairest price is not easy. Make sure you can speak directly with

the principal of the firm rather than one of his subordinates. You always want answers straight out the horse’s mouth.

Finally, you need a lawyer to help get you through the legal paperwork associated with setting up a business properly. “Legalese” is a coded language most of the rest of us don’t speak. You need someone in your corner that will play the role of your sincere advocate.The sooner you establish this team, the better.

Here is what you need to do:

1) Look for advisors with significant small business experience (10 – 20 years or more).

2) Ask for references and recommendations (and check them out).

3) Take each one out to dinner and see how comfortable you are with them. If he or she doesn’t have time for dinner, you know you are talking to the wrong person.

4) Test each advisor’s ability to quickly return telephone calls; fire those advisors that do not return your calls immediately.

5) Review your advisor team annually and consider bringing the team together once per year to discuss future planning for your business. Once your advisors know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, they will be better able to make strategic recommendations.
