Wildomar BMX legend hospitalized after crash
Valley News Staf f
BMX Hall of Famer Eddie Fiola, one of the pioneers of freestyle BMX and a rider known for decades as the “King of the Skateparks,” was hospitalized after a serious crash at a new Fallbrook skate park (Village View Skate Park) that left him with internal injuries and multiple broken bones, according to a post by Fiola on the YouTube channel RippinBMXbuilds. Fiola, 61, a resident of Wildomar, described the accident and his recovery from his hospital room at Inland Valley Hospital on YouTube, saying he suffered suspected internal injuries along with injuries to his wrist, fingers, face and abdomen. Despite spending several days in the hospital, Fiola said he intends to get back on his bike. “I’ll be out there riding again because I love to ride,” Fiola said. The accident carries particular significance given Fiola’s history. Few riders are as closely associated with riding concrete skate parks as Fiola, who dominated freestyle BMX competition during the sport’s formative years in the 1980s. Fiola won fi ve King of the Skateparks titles and four NORA Cups, or Number One Rider Awards, including the inaugural award in 1985, according to USA BMX. He was inducted into the BMX Hall of Fame in 2009 in the freestyle category. USA BMX also credits him as the first rider to perform a 540 in a pipe. Fiola’s influence extended beyond competition. He helped develop equipment and bike designs during freestyle BMX’s rapid growth, including the GT Pro Performer, one of the era’s best-known freestyle bicycles. He toured internationally, performing BMX demonstrations and helping introduce freestyle riding to wider audiences. His BMX career also led to Hollywood. Fiola performed BMX stunt work in the 1986 see BMX, page A-6

TEMECULA — Hundreds of residents and business owners attended an Aug. 26 open house to learn more and oppose San Diego Gas & Electric’s proposed Golden Pacific Goldenlink. The utility says the transmission project is needed to strengthen the regional electric grid. The event at Embassy Suites drew enough people to fill a ballroom with a capacity of 250, with others waiting in the lobby and an adjacent area. SDG&E’s website listed the open house for Wednesday, Aug. 26, from 4 to 7 p.m. Save Temecula says the project threatens public safety, property values, scenic views and the environment. The group is urging SDG&E to withdraw its proposal and the California Public Utilities Commission to reject it. see SDG&E, page A-7
1909 Is Still On FIRE Tony Reverditto
In the heart of Old Town Temecula, history isn’t confined to museums—it lives in the buildings lining Front Street, and few have a more colorful story than the one housing 1909 Temecula. The restaurant opened in September 2014 inside the historic Machado building, but its name reaches back more than a century. After the original structure burned in 1908, it was rebuilt the following year, giving 1909 its name and a direct connection to Temecula’s early days. Over the decades, the building served as a trading post, store, auto shop and church before becoming one of the town’s most notorious watering holes. During the 1960s and ‘70s, it was home to the Long Branch Saloon, known as one of the roughest places in town to grab a drink. Tales of barroom brawls, cowboys, bikers and occasional gunfire became part of local lore—and remarkably, bullet holes can still be spotted in the ceiling. see 1909, page A-2

1909 from page A-1 Today, 1909 embraces that storied past with a fun, energetic gastropub atmosphere, expansive patios, handcrafted cocktails, craft beer and an eclectic menu. Its recent renovation pays tribute to the surrounding community, highlighted by an expansive mural depicting a visual timeline of the Temecula Valley. Beginning with the Great Oak and the region’s Indigenous heritage, it journeys through the people, landmarks and events that shaped the area, including the Machado building during its Long Branch Saloon days, the arrival of the railroad and historic Old Town landmarks. Created with research assistance from the Temecula Valley Museum, the mural surrounds diners with a vivid reminder of Temecula’s journey from its earliest roots to the destination it is today. Guiding the culinary direction at 1909 is Culinary Director Carlo F. Guardado of Leigh Enterprises, whose more than 20 years in the kitchen have taken him from his roots in North County San Diego to formative experiences in Hawaii, Los Angeles and Orange County. Along the way, Chef Guardado developed a cooking philosophy grounded in seasonality, responsible sourcing and a genuine respect for the farmers, ranchers and producers behind the ingredients that ultimately reach the plate. Fire has become an integral part of that philosophy at 1909— not simply as a method of cooking, but as a way to draw greater character from carefully sourced ingredients. Chef Guardado’s approach embraces the elemental qualities of flame, smoke and char, allowing fire to deepen flavor while maintaining the integrity of what is being prepared. It complements his commitment to whole-animal cooking and hyper-seasonal ingredients, bringing a more primal technique to a decidedly modern kitchen. Drawing inspiration from the culinary traditions of Alta California, Chef Guardado uses fire, restraint and seasonality to bridge past and present rather than simply recreating what came before. The result connects history, community and contemporary technique while giving 1909’s eclectic menu an even stronger sense of place. Now it was time for Tony on the Town to take on Old Town and discover whether 1909’s new culinary fire lights up the plate. Our dining adventure began with a warm greeting from Marketing Director Erin Williams, who had made all the arrangements and made sure I had everything needed for this article. We were then welcomed by our attentive server, Dannie, and ordered the 1909 Margarita. I chose the spicy watermelon variation, combining tequila, orange liqueur, lime and agave with a lively watermelon kick and a Chamoy-Tajín rim. My guest opted for a locally produced Marshall Stuart Sauvignon Blanc from Temecula Valley, providing a refreshing start before the first plates arrived. Our starters showcased two distinctly different personalities from 1909’s diverse offerings. The Korean Fried Chicken featured a crispy exterior giving way to mouthwatering, juicy chicken tossed in a spicy Korean barbecue sauce for a lively combination of sweet heat and crunch. The house-made sauce was phenomenal and seriously needs to be bottled. Alongside it, the Saku Ahi Tartar layered sushi-grade ahi tuna with avocado, shallots, serrano chile and piquillo peppers, accompanied by cucumber, wonton chips and sesame-ginger peanut sauce—a colorful composition of cool, creamy, crisp and subtly spicy flavors. With a tempting array of soups and salads to choose from, the Seasonal Gem Wedge Salad jumped out, featuring gem lettuce, pomegranate, apple, strawberry, radish, blue cheese crumbles, mint, olive oil, lemon juice, blue cheese dressing and sourdough croutons. It was a vivacious presentation, bursting with color, texture and a refreshing combination of sweet, tangy, creamy and crisp elements. The accompaniments change with the seasons, giving the salad a personality reflective of what’s freshest at the time. Like everything arriving at our table, the portion was remarkably generous.

Puerto Nuevo Style Lobster
Interior of restaurant
At this point, General Manager Danni stopped by to say hello and make sure everything was going well. Having spent much of her career in food and hospitality, she clearly enjoys both the vibe and operation at 1909—and that enthusiasm translates into great leadership and the good energy felt throughout the restaurant. For the main event, we were presented with a pair of signature cocktail offerings from the Heart & Soul collection. The Pay-Per-View combined vodka, strawberry, passionfruit and orange liqueurs with lemon and rhubarb bitters, while the Out of Thyme brought together Ford’s Gin, yuzu liqueur, thyme, pamplemousse grapefruit liqueur and orgeat almond syrup for an intriguing balance of citrus, herbs and subtle sweetness. They paired beautifully with the enticing cross-section of 1909 favorites we selected. The Miso-Glazed Black Cod paired wild-caught black cod with garlic jasmine rice, bok choy, Chinese eggplant, broccoli and a lime-miso sauce, creating an intriguing balance of savory and bright flavors. Another selection from the sea was the Puerto Nuevo Style Lobster, featuring a flash-fried whole lobster served with wild rice, black beans, clarified butter, lemon and warm house-made flour tortillas—a Baja-inspired presentation made for rolling up your sleeves and digging in. We couldn’t overlook the signature 1909 Burger, an eightounce 1855 Prime beef patty layered with bacon-onion jam, sharp white cheddar, tomato, wild baby arugula and garlic aioli on brioche, accompanied by a generous pile of fries and ranch dressing. The brioche bun arrives prominently branded with the restaurant’s signature 1909 mark—a fitting touch for a restaurant that has itself become firmly branded into the fabric of Old Town Temecula. A side of Gruyère & Cheddar Cauliflower, finished with heavy cream and chives, provided a rich and comforting accompaniment to round out our selections. Every dessert option was tempting; we simply didn’t have room. The experience captured what 1909 does particularly well: upscale cuisine without the formality of upscale dining. Generous portions, creative presentations and an ambitious culinary approach coexist with a casual atmosphere and infectious energy, making the restaurant equally suited to a leisurely meal, cocktails with friends or simply taking in the unmistakable pulse of Old Town. 1909 extends its creativity into breakfast, brunch and lunch, with several familiar favorites from the dinner menu joined by selections created specifically for the daytime crowd. Standouts include Fried Chicken Benny served on fresh biscuits with chipotle maple hollandaise, Bananas Foster French Toast, Breakfast Pasta Carbonara, Huevos Rancheros and New York Steak & Eggs. For something especially indulgent, the Rolled Blueberry Coconut French Toast combines coconut, blueberry cream cheese, cornflakes, powdered sugar and blueberry condensed milk—a playful example of how 1909 gives the traditional brunch experience a personality all its own. 1909 keeps the energy going well beyond the dinner hour with Late Night Brunchies, served Friday and Saturday evenings from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. The after-hours menu puts a playful spin on brunch with selections ranging from Ube French Toast and Hot Chicken & Waffles to Chilaquiles, burgers and housemade tallow fries, complemented by Bloody Marys, mimosa slushies, sangria and spirited coffee creations. It’s a fun way to extend an evening in Old Town Temecula long after most brunch menus have been put to bed. TOAST has become a favorite destination for creative breakfast, brunch and lunch, putting a playful spin on familiar comfort food with fresh ingredients, inventive presentations and generously portioned dishes. From imaginative takes on breakfast classics and savory brunch specialties to colorful cocktails and coffee creations, TOAST brings the same commitment to quality, seasonality and hospitality found at 1909.

Driver apprehended after Hemet crash, reported foot pursuit
A Hyundai was reported to be traveling at a high rate of speed before crashing into a truck and a Chrysler Aspen. Valley News/Robert Carter photos Valley News HEMET — A driver was apprehended after allegedly causing a multivehicle collision on Florida Avenue, fleeing on foot and entering a nearby business, according to witness reports from the scene. Hemet Fire Department personnel responded to the collision and found two damaged vehicles, including one that had struck a building. Witnesses reported that a Hyundai Veloster was traveling at a high rate of speed when it struck a Chrysler Aspen. The impact reportedly caused the Chrysler to hit a streetlight and then crash into a Salvation Army
building. The Hyundai also allegedly struck the side of a westbound truck before pulling into a driveway. The Hyundai’s driver reportedly fled on foot, leaving his girlfriend inside the vehicle. The truck’s driver and other witnesses followed the man and tracked him to the DD’s Discounts shopping center, according to reports from the scene. The suspect allegedly entered a hair supply store and attempted to purchase a wig with counterfeit money. Hemet police officers entered the business minutes later and took him into custody without incident. The truck’s driver returned to the crash scene, provided an ac-
count of what happened and gave officers dash camera footage, witnesses reported. The Hyundai passenger reportedly told people at the scene that she and the driver had been arguing before the collision. She alleged that he drove erratically and reached speeds of up to 90 mph in an attempt to frighten her. Members of the family traveling in the Chrysler were evaluated by American Medical Response personnel, but no one in that vehicle was transported to a hospital. The Hyundai passenger was evaluated and taken by ambulance to a local hospital. Authorities had not released the suspect’s name or information about possible charges.

Families of Noli students welcomed to new school year
Math and PE teacher Jon Ruiz also oversees the yearbook and video classes this year. Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians Students at Noli Indian School on the Soboba Reservation returned to campus on Aug. 3 and their families got to visit and meet their teachers during back-to-school night, Aug. 20. The school is continuing its four-day school week that began last year. Yet with only 12 days of attendance under their belts, students had much to share with their family members during the evening visit. Principal Donovan Post said they are off to a strong start with 94 students in grades 6-12; 14 of them being seniors. Aside from preparing them for college, if they desire, he is hoping to increase the CTE pathway by having union leaders from different trades come by and speak with the students. Teachers were eager to share their expectations for the new school year and answer any questions about their classroom policies and procedures during the two-hour event. Science teacher Sabrina Smith covers a gamut of science classes for middle and high school students. She encouraged her students to demonstrate some of the projects they are working on so their parents could witness the hands-on lessons firsthand. Smith explained her grading system is based on 50% classwork, 30% participation, and 20% assessments made through labs, quizzes, tests, and projects. Individual and group projects are expected each quarter. Sixth-grader Wendy Cazessus showed her father, Julio Ordonez, a couple of the kinetic energy experiments her class has been doing. Wendy, 11, said all her siblings have attended Noli so she was happy to be there. She is also enrolled in the pre-AVID class that Smith co-coordinates with high school Spanish teacher Andrea Duran. Duran has several field trips planned for her students. In October, they will go to the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert for the “Colors and Sounds of Mexico” presented by the Pacifico Dance Company. This is the first offering of the theater’s Field Trip Series for the 2026-2027 school year. Reserved school groups may attend performances at no cost, thanks to generous support from individuals, businesses, foundations, and municipalities. The program is designed to inspire, energize and educate. Jon Ruiz stays busy teaching math to sixth- and seventh-grade students and PE to all of them. He also oversees the yearbook and video classes. He provides a strong math foundation so students will be prepared when they move into higher levels of math with teacher Kekai Bryant. Ruiz has been at Noli for more than 20 years and looks forward to coaching flag football this year, along with the early morning PE classes. However, there will not be a football team this year. Sonia Modesto has special education and intervention classes, with the goal of mainstreaming students into their proper grade level. “Noli has a really unique special education program,” she said. “We encourage students to
speak up. Self-advocacy is super big in this classroom. They learn to get what they need if they are not afraid to ask for it. Doors are going to open for them if they get that confidence to put themselves out there. Students get a lot of peer support around here, which I love to see.” Modesto is excited about having her students invited to participate in the Indigenous Innovation program through Apple. Additionally, five Noli students will be attending the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) conference in Portland in October. She and other teachers are working to identify the students with a strong interest in STEM that will benefit the most from going. History teacher Justin Thillens is working with one of the new Education Technicians that joined the Noli staff this year. Sasha Alvarez has a bachelor’s degree in history and a double minor in geography and communication, giving her the variety of educational experience that will be valuable there. As a way to help students get acquainted with each other, Thillens started the first week with a World History Monuments group project with two to three people per team. They were asked to research a monument and then construct a desk-top size replica using available recycled materials. There was a Golden Gate Bridge, a Parthenon, the Liberty Bell and a Coliseum, among others. The teamwork challenge had them work together to build the rough replica of their assigned historic site, write a short summary covering the five Ws, list a few interesting facts about the site, and present the work to class in a quick one-minute presentation. Before getting started each student was asked to name two things they could do to be a great group mate. One student wrote “be productive and communicate.” Thillens explained that each grade level covers a different aspect of history from ancient civilizations for sixth graders through modern world times with civics and economics at the high school level. In his second year at Noli, he said he learned a lot last year and expects this year to go well. New this year is the “curiosity classroom” where middle school students can go during sixth period to do just about anything they want, from art and physical education activities to getting ahead on classwork assignments. Sheldon Subith oversees the class and had spent the week discussing Native American athletes with the students who read their biographies and drew pictures of them. “This is a class where they can come and unwind at the end of their day; there is no pressure,” Subith said. There is already a full slate of activities planned for the school year. Spirit Week will take place Aug. 31-Sept. 3 with each day offering a different theme for students to embrace. Noli is Luiseño for the word envision. The Soboba Tribe envisions a new future through the educational opportunities provided by Noli Indian School.

The kit is modeled after the McGruff Take A Bite Out of Crime ID Kit and is designed to help families maintain essential identifying information in one easily accessible location should it ever be needed by authorities. The event will also provide parents and caregivers with free McGruff Crime Dog National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) parenting tips in both English and Spanish. The resources address important topics including alcohol and tobacco, drugs, bullying, violent media, and home and neighborhood safety. Crime prevention coloring books will also be available while supplies last. Affordable Haircuts and family entertainment during the Haircut-A-Thon. First-time customers can receive haircuts for: Adults: $25 Children age 10 and under: $16 Guests can enjoy music and participate in random prize giveaways throughout the afternoon. The fundraiser is made possible through the generous support of Ron Umali, U.S. Navy Master Chief (Retired), Century 21 Masters; LuvLiez Salon; and participating hairstylists and barbers, who are donating their time and services. All proceeds from the haircuts will benefit children of incarcerated parents by helping provide new clothing and entertainment gifts during the Christmas season. Christmas Toy and Clothing Collection The Haircut-A-Thon will also serve as a collection site for new clothing and unopened toys for local children of incarcerated parents, ages 1–18, who may be at greater risk of experiencing poverty. Donated items will be distributed as Christmas gifts on behalf of incarcerated parents for the children to know they are loved and valued. The Community Outreach Ministry’s 26th Annual Angel Tree Christmas Party is scheduled for Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Gateway Church of the Nazarene, 23560 Jefferson Avenue, Murrieta, CA 92562. Community Outreach Ministry accepts referrals through Angel Tree, a program of Prison Fellowship; Riverside 211; and local schools and churches. Supporting Children and Breaking the Cycle National research highlights the significant number of children affected by parental incarceration. According to research
cited from The Sentencing Project and the Annie E. Casey Foundation, more than five million children in the United States—approximately one in 14—have experienced parental incarceration at some point. On any given day, approximately 2.7 million children have a parent who is incarcerated. Community Outreach Ministry’s mission is to help break the cycle of incarceration among children of incarcerated parents while empowering at-promise youth to develop a winning attitude and champion spirit. The ministry provides opportunities for young people to participate in camping, mentoring programs, and holiday celebrations. Community members, businesses, and organizations are
encouraged to support this effort by attending the Haircut-AThon, donating new clothing or unopened toys, or becoming a sponsor. For sponsorship and donation information, contact Community Outreach Ministry at 951-231-5515 or info@communityoutreachministry.org. Online sponsorship and donation information is available through communityoutreachministry.org.

Winchester Days given $10,000 of Unincorporated Communities Initiative funding Joe Naiman Special for the Valley News
The Winchester Days Community Fair was allocated $10,000 of Unincorporated Communities Initiative funding. The Riverside County Board
of Supervisors voted 5-0 August 25 to approve the appropriation. The grant will be given to the Winchester Homeland Town Association, which organizes Winchester Days. A November 2020 Board of Supervisors action created the
Unincorporated Communities Initiative to improve the infrastructure and services provided to residents of unincorporated communities with an emphasis on disadvantaged unincorporated communities. The program is funded through the Unincorpo-
rated Communities Fund which is allocated during the annual budget process. The county’s 2026-27 budget approved June 23 included $15,000,000 for the Unincorporated Communities Fund divided evenly between the five Supervisorial Districts.
Supervisors approve cost sharing agreement for Gopher Fire Joe Naiman for the Valley News The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved an agreement with the California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection and the United States Forest Service to share the costs of fighting May’s Gopher Fire in Aguanga. The supervisors voted 5-0 August 25 to approve the cost share agreement between the Riverside
County Fire Department, CalFire, and the U.S. Forest Service. The U.S. Forest Service will be responsible for the expenses for four engines deployed to the fire, the county will seek reimbursement from CalFire for deployment of
a water tender, and the County of Riverside will be financially responsible for all other resources assigned to the incident. The Gopher Fire near State Route 79 and Sage Road began mid-afternoon May 2. The fire
County extends lease for Sheriff ’s substation in Mountain Center Joe Naiman for the Valley News
The County of Riverside leases land from the Lake Hemet Municipal Water District for the county’s Sheriff’s substation in Mountain Center, and that lease BMX from page A-1 cult film “Rad” and later built a career as a professional stuntman, with work on films including “The Italian Job,” “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Decades after becoming one of BMX’s first superstars, Fiola has continued to ride — which brought him to Fallbrook on the Sunday morning of his accident. Fiola said he began the day at the Gale Webb Action Sports Park pump track, where he rode with friends. As temperatures rose and other riders began leaving, he headed to another skate park near Lake Elsinore. Still not ready to call it a day, Fiola decided to drive to Fallbrook. When he arrived at the new Fallbrook skate park, nobody else was there. “There’s literally nobody there. There’s not one person,” Fiola said. Because he planned only to roll around and familiarize himself with the park, Fiola made a decision he would soon have reason to regret: He did not put on his helmet. “I’m just going to roll around. I’m just going to take it easy. Nothing major,” he recalled telling himself. Fiola spent about 20 minutes exploring the park, which was unfamiliar to him. He noticed ledges with straight drop-off s and transitions that were smooth on one side but incorporated steps on another. “I’m taking my time,” Fiola said. “I’m trying to learn the area.” Eventually, another rider arrived on rollerblades. A man later arrived with a young skateboarder. Fiola began riding somewhat more aggressively, although he said he still was not attempting aerial maneuvers or jumps. Then he entered what he described as a peanut-shaped bowl (Avocado Bowl) with a deep end and a shallower end. Fiola estimated the deep portion at about 10 feet and the shallow portion at about 7 feet. He entered the deep side carrying considerable speed before reaching a relatively abrupt transition toward the shallow side. That is where things went wrong. “As I hit that transition, it took my bike away,” Fiola said. “It launched it backwards.

He knew immediately that he was hurt. “The stomach is bad,” he recalled. “And then I hit my eye, the whole thing. I’m starting to bleed. I’m looking down, there’s blood on the ground.” The two people at the park heard him slam into the wall and came over to help. Fiola initially told them to give him a moment because he thought he could get himself out. That proved difficult. The bowl had no rollout or stairs, Fiola said. He attempted to use his

Hall of Fame rider known as the “King of the Skateparks” says crash left him with internal injuries, broken wrist and fingers

Groups of BMX and skate enthusiasts record well wishes for Eddie Fiola from HB Tuesday, while he recovers from a crash at the new Fallbrook Skate Park. YouTube screenshot bicycle to ride or pull himself out, but his injured hand would not cooperate. He later learned that he had suffered broken fingers and an injury to his wrist. Fiola asked the rollerblader to hold onto his bicycle while he attempted to pull himself up the side of the bowl. The rollerblader began sliding toward the bowl as Fiola pulled. The other man then grabbed the rollerblader and bicycle, providing enough stability for Fiola to pull himself out. Despite bleeding and suffering what would prove to be signifi cant injuries, Fiola did not call 911. Instead, he loaded his bicycle into his 1997 Subaru WRX, which he described as a righthand-drive, five-speed car, and
began driving home — despite having an injured hand he needed to shift gears. “I didn’t knock myself out. I know I’m good,” Fiola recalled thinking. He said he was mainly hoping he would not encounter heavy traffi c that would require frequent shifting. After reaching home, Fiola got into his truck and initially headed toward a Kaiser facility in Menifee. He called his wife, Mindy, a physician assistant, who advised him to go to Loma Linda instead. By the time Fiola walked into the emergency room, he said there was blood on his face, shirt and pants. Although the waiting room was crowded,
medical personnel quickly evaluated him after he reported his visible injuries and abdominal pain. Doctors performed a CT scan with contrast. According to Fiola, the scan showed fluid around the liver and spleen, raising concerns that he may have suffered a spleen laceration. As time passed, Fiola said his abdomen felt increasingly swollen and breathing became more difficult. He was subsequently transferred to the new Inland Valley Hospital in Wildomar, which is a Level 2 Trauma Center. This designation indicates that the hospital is equipped to provide comprehensive trauma care, including 24/7 availability of trauma surgeons and necessary
support staff For the first several days, Fiola said doctors concentrated on his abdominal injuries and the possibility of internal bleeding. Blood was repeatedly drawn to monitor his condition, including his hemoglobin levels. Fiola said physicians were watching to determine whether those levels remained stable, which would help indicate whether internal bleeding was continuing. At the same time, his wrist and fi ngers remained injured. Fiola said he had four broken fingers, a broken wrist, and a tendon injury affecting his middle finger. His fingers and arm were eventually placed in braces while doctors continued treating the more immediate concerns involving his abdomen. By Wednesday, Fiola said his condition had improved substantially. His abdominal discomfort had decreased, his breathing had improved and he no longer required supplemental oxygen. He also was performing better on the breathing exercise device used by hospital staff to monitor his respiratory recovery. Food was another milestone. Fiola said he had eaten nothing since Saturday night before the accident. During his hospitalization, he initially received fluids intravenously and was later moved to a clear-liquid diet. By Wednesday, doctors allowed him to begin eating again. He also said doctors continued checking his hemoglobin levels and watching for other signs of internal bleeding. “I feel fine other than my wrist and my stomach feeling like I got hit with a baseball bat by Mike Tyson,” Fiola said. Fiola said he hoped he might be able to return home the following day. While hospitalized, he also received an outpouring of support from the BMX community. Fellow riders recorded an “Eddie” chant encouraging him to recover and get back on his bike. Fiola said he had been reading the messages, prayers and well wishes sent to him on social media. “I appreciate everybody who sent me wishes and good healing and all that stuff,” he said. For a rider whose name became synonymous with skate parks more than four decades ago, the accident apparently has done little to diminish his enthusiasm for riding. DIG BMX has described Fiola as BMX’s “first superstar,” noting that even decades after his competitive heyday, riding with friends continued to inspire him. Fiola said that remains true. “I’ll be out there riding again because I love to ride,” he said. https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=TBxO9A9LKcg&t=8s

see SDG&E, page A-6 SDG&E describes Golden Pacific Powerlink as a proposed 500-kilovolt transmission line connecting its Imperial Valley Substation with a new substation in southern Orange County. The utility estimates the project would cost approximately $1.6 billion. The city of Temecula, which also opposes the proposed route, says the project would bring transmission towers up to 191 feet tall through the community. The City Council announced its unanimous opposition May 26. Temecula resident Cheryl Brown said the open house did not provide the answers she sought. “I was hoping to learn more than I did at their online presentation months ago, but instead I found a small, crowded room with no air conditioning and staff who had nothing substantive to share,” Brown said in the release. “It felt like being invited to a full-course dinner where the host wasn’t prepared for the guests. There were plenty of servers, but no real information. We left hot, tired, and hungry for answers, which we didn’t get.” On its community outreach webpage, SDG&E describes a different goal for its public engagement. “SDG&E is committed to providing clear, accessible ways for community members to learn about Golden Pacific Powerlink and offer feedback,” the website states. The utility says its outreach includes community meetings, organizational briefings, online resources and direct conversations. The open houses were designed around stations where residents could speak with project staff and subject matter experts. Save Temecula President Mark Winkler questioned whether that process was influencing the proposal. “This open house was nothing more than a perfunctory exercise,” Winkler said in the release. “SDG&E continues to go through the motions of community engagement while pressing forward with its bid to the CPUC.” Winkler accused the utility of providing vague and incomplete answers and failing to incorporate residents’ concerns. On its website, SDG&E says community input, engineering work and field investigations have helped refine route alternatives. The proposed route remains preliminary, with alternatives to undergo environmental review. Resident Michael Scalise said the information presented was familiar. “SDG&E provided flyers and posters, but it was nothing new,” Scalise said in the release. “It’s the same information they provided at the Temecula City Council meeting in May. Their plan is disastrous to Temecula’s residenTimeline of proposed project Project Map Route Overview Alternatives Projected Timeline Timeline item 1–complete Spring 2023 CAISO identifies and approves project in its annual Transmission Plan Timeline item 2–complete Summer 2025 SDG&E assumes responsibility to build, own and operate the new line Timeline item 3–complete Spring 2026 Virtual open houses Timeline item 4–active Summer / Fall 2026 In-person open houses More Information Coming Soon!

tial areas and the environment.” SDG&E says the California Independent System Operator identified a need for additional transmission capacity as electricity demand grows. “Transmission constraints can lead to congestion on the grid, higher costs, and reduced reliability during extreme weather or emergency conditions,” the project website states. Although Save Temecula’s release refers to the utility advancing its CPUC bid, SDG&E’s published schedule places the commission filing in fall or winter 2026. It anticipates permitting through 2029, construction beginning that fall and service starting in 2032. State and federal approvals would be required. Save Temecula is advocating alternatives it says would protect the community while continuing to press for withdrawal of the proposal. Save Temecula exists to fight SDG&E’s Golden Pacific Powerlink and advocate for alternatives that protect our community. For more information, visit www. savetemecula.org
[above] As part of the CEQA environmental review process associated with SDG&E’s application to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), SDG&E has identified a preliminary routing corridor and a range of potential alternatives for further study. Following months of community input, stakeholder engagement, preliminary engineering, and field investigations, SDGE has refined the alternatives under consideration. The alternatives being advanced have been identified as feasible and capable of meeting the project objectives established in CAISO’s Transmission Plan while balancing environmental, engineering, and community considerations. https://goldenpacificpower-link.com/

Nighthawks show flashes, but missed opportunities prove costly in loss to Servite Murrieta— Murrieta Valley moved the ball, created opportunities and delivered one of the night’s biggest plays. It just couldn’t turn enough of those opportunities into points. The Nighthawks couldn’t keep pace with MaxPreps California’s No. 10-ranked Servite, falling 42-10 Friday night and dropping to 0-2 on the season in their demanding nonleague schedule. Quarterback Ty Isaia opened the game with steady control, guiding Murrieta Valley into Servite territory multiple times. The Nighthawks moved the ball effectively, mixing perimeter runs with short passing plays. Trailing 7-0 in the first quarter, Murrieta Valley drove to the Servite 6-yard line before the drive stalled. Cash Ransom connected on a 16-yard field goal, cutting the deficit to 7-3 and providing the Nighthawks with their only offensive points of the night. Servite answered with touchdowns on its next two offensive possessions before adding a third touchdown on a blocked punt that was recovered and returned 60 yards for a score, giving the Friars a 28-3 lead. The Nighthawks responded immediately with their biggest play of the night. On the ensuing kickoff, Caden Brown fielded the ball near the 10-yard line, found a crease along the left sideline and exploded for a 90-yard touchdown return. The return cut Servite’s lead to 28-10 and sent the home stands into a roar. It was Murrieta Valley’s most dynamic play of the night and a reminder of the athleticism the
Nighthawks can bring to the field. Murrieta Valley continued to battle in the second half, turning to quarterback Buck Bachmeier. Bachmeier brought energy to the offense and helped lead the Nighthawks on several promising possessions. The Nighthawks moved inside the Servite 30-yard line on one of their late drives, but the possession ended without points, continuing a frustrating pattern of missed opportunities. Murrieta Valley’s defense also had its moments, forcing Servite to work for yards and making plays to slow the Friars’ offense. But Servite continued to capitalize on key opportunities and used several explosive plays to maintain control of the game. Murrieta Valley had multiple possessions reach or approach the red zone without touchdowns. A missed field goal, a blocked punt and two fourth-down turnovers also prevented the Nighthawks from capitalizing on offensive opportunities. Brown’s 90-yard kickoff return provided the night’s biggest spark and demonstrated the athleticism Murrieta Valley can bring to the field. Bachmeier’s second-half performance also provided encouragement as the Nighthawks continued searching for consistency on offense. The 0-2 start now puts added importance on next week’s matchup with Cajon. For Murrieta Valley, the challenge will be turning the flashes shown against Servite into sustained production and, ultimately, points.

Revived Poinsettia Bowl to feature current and historic PAC-12 schools Joe Naiman for the Valley News San Diego will once again have two college football bowl games. An August 27 press conference at Snapdragon Stadium, which is now a non-contiguous part of San Diego State University and is on the site of the former stadium where the Holiday Bowl was played from 1978 to 2019 and the Poinsettia Bowl was played from 2005 to 2016, announced the date of this year’s Holiday Bowl and the date and format of the revived Poinsettia Bowl. Both games will be played at Snapdragon Stadium. San Diego State joined the PAC-12 this year, and the Poinsettia Bowl which will be played December 23 with a 4:30 p.m. kickoff time will feature a current PAC-12 team versus a historic PAC-12 school. The Holiday Bowl will pit a historic PAC-12 school against an Atlantic Coast Conference team and will be played December 28; the 2:30 p.m. kickoff time is the earliest in the bowl’s history but will allow the game to be televised live when no other bowl games are being played. Both games will be broadcast on The CW Network. “We have two great conferences participating,” said SDSU athletic director J.D. Wicker. “That should be a good draw for sports fans in San Diego.” Prior to 1978 Arizona and Arizona State were in the Western Athletic Conference and the WAC champion played in the Fiesta Bowl. Those two schools moved to what became the PAC10 and San Diego State joined the WAC in 1978. The Holiday Bowl
was sanctioned and with one exception the WAC champion played a team from any NCAA Division I conference through 1995. A comprehensive bowl arrangement replaced the WAC champion with a PAC-10 team in 1996; the PAC-10 became the PAC-12 in 2011 when Utah and Colorado joined. A Big 12 team played the PAC-12 representative from 1996 through 2013, the Big 10 was the other conference until 2019, and the ACC has played in the Holiday Bowl since 2022. San Diego State and seven other schools left the WAC to form the Mountain West Conference in 1999. Non-champion MWC teams were often left out of bowl games, so the Poinsettia Bowl was created in 2005 to provide another bowl for one of the MWC teams. By 2016 every Football Bowl Subdivision team with at least a .500 record was invited to a bowl game, so the Poinsettia Bowl had served its purpose and was discontinued even though it wasn’t losing money. “The games we played from 2005 to 2016 had some amazing moments,” said Sports San Diego chief executive officer Mark Neville. In 2024 ten PAC-12 schools left for other conferences. Oregon State and Washington State remained. San Diego State and five other schools with football joined the PAC-12 this year. The new PAC-12 alignment warranted a revival of the Poinsettia Bowl. “It’s going to be a regional game, much more regional,” Neville said. “We could not be more excited about the synergy,” said PAC-12 commissioner Teresa Gould.
Five of the eight current PAC12 football teams have at least one Southwest Riverside County player on their roster. San Diego State has three from Temecula and one apiece from Murrieta, Menifee, and San Jacinto. Boise State has graduates of Murrieta Valley High School, Vista Murrieta High School, Tahquitz High School, and Rancho Christian. The Washington State players include one from Winchester and one from Murrieta. Murrieta and Menifee have one player apiece on the Oregon State roster. One Fresno State player is from
Murrieta. Cal and Sanford left the PAC12 for the ACC. The Cal roster includes a Murrieta player. UCLA, USC, Oregon, and Washington departed the PAC-12 for the Big 10. Washington and UCLA each have a player from Temecula and an Oregon player is from Hemet. Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and Arizona State are now Big 12 teams. Two Utah players are from Temecula. “A lot of local and regional interest for sure,” Gould said. (A predecessor to the PAC-12
included Idaho and Montana, which are now both Football Championship Subdivision schools. Idaho has a Temecula player and Montana has a Wildomar player.) ACC assistant commissioner Michael Stickland noted that the conference presence in the Holiday Bowl may provide additional locals for ACC rosters. “Southern California is rich with talent,” he said. “It’s important to establish a recruiting presence in all parts of the country.”

Wolfpack win girls tennis opener
Joe Naiman for the Valley News
The CIF policy prohibiting competition or practices in excessive heat limited Great Oak High School to one girls tennis match during August while also limiting Wolfpack practices, but the match was a victory. Great Oak hosted the August 18 match against Linfield Christian and won by a 15-3 margin. “It was a good starting match,” said Great Oak coach Ray Fisher.
The 16 players on the 2026 Great Oak varsity include seven seniors. Only three of the 16 were on the 2025 varsity, which had 20 players. “We lost a lot of experience from last year,” Fisher said. A high school tennis dual match consists of each of a school’s three singles players contesting sets against each of the other school’s singles players and each of a school’s three doubles teams facing each of the other school’s doubles tandems. One team point is given for each

set won. Great Oak won all nine doubles points against Linfield. “Doubles played extremely well,” Fisher said. The safe margin allowed Fisher to substitute players for the final round. “Everybody got to play,” he said. “It was a good experience.” The six singles points were earned by junior Nicole Lowenthal and sophomore Kelsey McGowan, each of whom swept their three sets. Great Oak’s #3 singles
players, including substitutes, lost all three sets. “We struggled with #3 singles,” Fisher said. The planned August 20 match against Martin Luther King at Riverside was postponed due to the heat. Fisher had not scheduled any matches for the ensuing week, when heat likely would have canceled those. “Got a very little bit of practice in,” he said. Great Oak won the 2024 and 2025 Southwestern League championships outright, posting
undefeated seasons in both. Including a CIF Division 2 playoff loss, the Wolfpack were 19-3 overall last season. Contingent upon favorable weather, league play this year will commence with a September 17 match at Vista Murrieta and the Wolfpack’s first home league contest will be September 22 against Chaparral. “Just starting out and encouraged about the new season,” Fisher said.
Finger edges Stites in Hobby Stocks main event
Stites wins heat with Finger second Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News Murrieta driver Edward Finger helped set up the car that beat him in the Aug. 29 Hobby Stocks heat race at Barona Speedway. He then passed its driver, Canyon Lake’s David Stites, late in the main event to win the feature. Stites started the eight-lap heat on the pole, while Finger began fourth. Stites led after one lap, with Brawley’s Cody Daffern second and Finger third. Finger eventually passed Daffern but could not catch Stites. “Surprised. I expected these guys to come around me,” Stites said. Finger and his father, Norm, helped prepare Stites’ Charger-chassis Hobby Stock. Finger purchased his own Hobby Stock during the offseason after racing in Barona’s Pure Stocks division from 2023 through 2025. “I really owe it to Edward and Norman for that win,” Stites said. A lifelong Canyon Lake resident and Paloma Valley High School graduate, Stites won Perris Auto Speedway’s Factory Stocks championships in 2022, 2024 and 2025 and currently leads the 2026 standings. His
only previous Hobby Stocks appearance was April 11 at Barona, when he finished third in the main event. The starting positions remained unchanged for the 20-lap main. Phoenix’s Drew Madrid led the opening lap, followed by Stites and Finger. Madrid fell back on the third lap, putting Stites first and Finger second. Poway’s Randy Alldredge, substituting for Tommy Daffern, moved into third. Finger passed Stites on the inside during lap 18 after lapped traffic slowed the leader. “After running super tight with him was able to get a good run,” Finger said. “Was able to hold on for the win.” Stites finished second, followed by Alldredge and Cody Daffern. “If I could have got around that lapped car a little bit quicker I probably could have held on for the win,” Stites said. Finger and Alldredge are Showtime Motorsports teammates. “That was one of the most fun times I’ve had in the car,” Finger said. Alldredge, who normally races Pure Stocks, enjoyed the oppor-
David Stites tunity to drive a Hobby Stock. “There’s a real sharp learning curve figuring out how to drive this thing,” Alldredge said. “If you let them get out on you it’s real hard to reel them back.” Stites had no regrets about finishing behind his friend.

“Losing to a friend wasn’t too bad,” he said. “Couldn’t have asked for a better night.” With Tommy Daffern absent, Finger moved into the season points lead. He leads Cody Daffern by seven points, Yuma’s Scott Tenney by 21 and Tommy
Daffern by 29. The final two scheduled Hobby Stocks races are Sept. 26 and Oct. 24. Despite racing only twice this season, Stites ranks 11th. “I think I’ll be a contender in this class with just a little more seat time,” he said.

Anza Baptist Church welcomed friends, neighbors and visitors from Anza and surrounding communities Sunday, Aug. 23, for an afternoon of ice cream, music and fellowship. Guests created their own treats, choosing from cones, banana splits and bowls of ice cream. Pastor Matthew Nevills and his wife, Julie, joined several church volunteers in serving scoops of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream. The dessert counter offered plenty of options for customization, with attendees adding gummy bears, whipped cream, sprinkles, candy, nuts and syrup to their creations. The afternoon also featured music led by Pastor Emeritus Robert Reece, who invited the congregation to join in song as he led them with his expert guitar accompaniment. A large contingent of youngsters enthusiastically took center stage, adding a lively touch to the gathering.

Goldie Fest delivers UFO magic, fantasy fashions and secret initiations to Anza Farmer’s Market Diane Sieker Staf f Writer Anza’s reputation for embracing the wonderfully unconventional was on full display during the fourth annual Goldie Fest at the Anza Farmers’ Market Thursday, August 13. The community gathering, organized by market manager and Keep Anza Weird founder Annika Knöppel, brought together local residents, extraterrestrial enthusiasts and curious visitors for an afternoon of fantasy, science fiction and community fun. The festivities began with a dramatic centerpiece: a staged flying-saucer crash beneath the Farmers’ Market’s iconic water tower. The otherworldly wreckage was installed by organizers the night before, creating an appropriately mysterious setting for the celebration. Market vendors and attendees joined in on the theme, arriving in an array of fantasy and science-fi ction costumes. Forest elves, mystical creatures and cloaked wanderers mingled among shoppers browsing fresh produce, artisan crafts and baked goods. The festival also featured references to the legendary Cahuilla Mountain orb, along with initiations for exclusive Goldie Fest membership cards, adding another layer of playful mystery to the event. With its blend of local commerce, imagination and community spirit, Goldie Fest once again demonstrated that in Anza, the truth may not be “out there” - sometimes, it’s right beneath the water tower. The namesake of the festival - the beloved local phenomenon known as Goldie - took center stage throughout the event. For years, residents and eagle-eyed observers have reported regular sightings of a brilliant golden orb hovering gracefully over nearby Cahuilla Mountain before shooting across the high country sky at extraordinary speeds. In honor of these persistent aerial mysteries, Goldie Fest featured a special guest appearance celebrating the enigmatic orb. Whether Goldie was channeled through artistic installations, interactive performances, or cosmic lore sessions, the spirit of the mountain’s favorite glowing visitor was felt across every corner of the market. “Goldie is a symbol of the wonder that happens when you keep your eyes on the skies and your heart open to the strange and beautiful,” said Knöppel. “Anza has always possessed a unique charm, and Goldie Fest was created to bring our community together to laugh, celebrate our individuality, and honor the mysterious magic that makes our town so special.” The “If You Know, You Know” initiation was one of the most talked-about highlights of the day, consisting of the distribution of official Keep Anza Weird membership cards. Attendees were officially inducted into the town’s growing circle of eccentric free spirits. Each card was customized on the spot with a carefully punched out black hole. New members were instructed on how to use their card: by peering through the tiny aperture, cardholders can subtly scan their surroundings to recognize fellow “weird beings” in the crowd. Once eye contact is made through the lens, members exchange a silent, knowing nod of understanding - “If you know, you know.” “The membership card is more than just a keepsake,” Knöppel explained. “It’s a

It tells the world that you see magic in the everyday, that you don’t take life too seriously, and that you’re part of a community that looks out for one another.” Adding to the celestial excitement, Curtis Coulet of the Temecula Valley Astronomers club set up an impressive array of high-powered telescopes for public sky-viewing, giving guests a chance to peer deep into the cosmos. While the local weather had its own plans - rolling in a blanket of persistent cloud cover that obscured the view and kept Goldie’s airborne secrets hidden behind a natural cosmic curtain - the astronomy setup remained a huge hit. Visitors gathered around the telescopes, sharing deep-space science, discussing optics and swapping spirited theories about what might be hovering just beyond the cloud layer. While local townspeople came prepared in elaborate cloaks, alien antennae and wizard robes, the festival also caught several out-of-town visitors completely off -guard. Weekend drivers and day-trippers stopping by for what they assumed would be a routine rural farmers’ market found themselves stepping directly into a sci-fi fantasy. The overwhelming success of Goldie Fest 2026 marks a new high-point for the Anza Farmers’ Market, proving that community markets can be a powerful engine for both local economy and joyful creative expression. Plans are already underway to make Goldie Fest an annual Anza Farmers’ Market tradition.

Supreme Court Rules 5–4 White House Ballroom Construction May Go Ahead The high court had previously issued a temporary order allowing construction to continue.
White House Ballroom outside rendering. Wiki Commons Matthew Vadum Epoch Times The U.S. Supreme Court issued an order Aug. 31 allowing construction of President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project to continue while the administration contests a lower court order that would block much of the development. The justices voted 5–4 to grant the federal government’s request to stay a lower court’s order halting above-ground construction of the ballroom while a lawsuit against the project by a historic preservation group plays out. The majority said the plaintiff in the underlying lawsuit, the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States, appeared to lack standing. The majority said the government also established that it would probably “succeed on the merits of a significant legal question, that it would likely suffer irreparable harm without a stay.” The majority also said this new ruling was not a final adjudication on “the legality of the government’s East Wing project” and that the lawsuit continues in the lower courts. Construction on the project, which calls for building a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, began in September 2025. Building it required demolishing the East Wing, which Trump said was too small and in poor shape. The project is expected to cost about $400 million, all of which will be funded by private donors, according to the president. A federal district court had blocked construction, and on Aug. 7, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed that ruling. The appeals court paused its ruling for 14 days to give the federal government an opportunity to appeal. U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer said in a filing with the Supreme Court on Aug. 14 that the matter was of urgent importance
White House Ballroom renderings of the inside looking south. Courtesy White House/McCrery Architects because the federal district court’s preliminary injunction that would halt most above-ground work on the project was scheduled to take effect on Aug. 21. The above-ground work includes the actual ballroom structure and a new East Wing building. The below-ground work, which was not blocked by the lower courts, includes a national security complex with bunkers, bomb shelters, and subterranean infrastructure related to continuity of government and presidential security. Sauer said the D.C. Circuit erred in upholding the injunction, which “threatens the security and safety of the President of the United States” and “creates a needless interbranch collision.” The overall project is 65 percent complete and has already passed the point at which major changes to the current design
would be feasible, he said. On Aug. 21, Chief Justice John Roberts issued an administrative stay to give the justices more time to consider the government’s emergency application to allow construction to continue. But Roberts, along with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented from the new, unsigned order, saying the construction of the project “is likely unlawful.” “Congress has explicitly prohibited the construction of any ‘building or structure ... on any reservation, park, or public grounds of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia without express authority of Congress.’” “Congress has not passed any law resembling ‘express authority’ for the Executive’s construction of it,” Roberts said.
Trump hailed the new ruling, saying it would allow the “ballroom/military complex” to be “built without any further contingency, doubt, or threat.” “We are living in the Golden Age of America, and this Building will be one of the Greatest ever constructed in Washington, D.C.,” he said on social media. Brent Leggs, president and CEO of the National Trust, said his group disagrees with the majority ruling, including its holding on standing. “It is noteworthy that the majority did not weigh in on whether the ballroom project was in fact legal,” he told The Epoch Times. “[The ruling] does not resolve our fundamental argument—that each President is a temporary steward of the People’s House and does not have the unilateral authority to demolish and redesign it without the approval of
Congress.” Copyright 2026 The Epoch Times. Reprinted with permission. Subscribe.theepochtimes. com

US Strikes Iran After Attempted Attacks on US Troops, Shipping Timothy Frudd Epoch Times The U.S. military launched new strikes against Iran on Sept. 1 following attempted attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said U.S. forces started striking IRGC targets in Iran at 12 p.m. ET on Tuesday. “The strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region,” CENTCOM wrote in a statement on X. The U.S. military strikes came one day after President Donald Trump warned that the United States would resume attacks against Iran after the regime launched missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan. “We’re going to hit them hard,” Trump told Fox News on Monday. “There will be a response.” Trump addressed Tuesday’s strikes in a Truth Social statement shortly after CENTCOM
announced the start of the new attacks. “The United States is, as we speak, striking Iranian Targets near the Strait of Hormuz,” he said. The president said the attacks were being carried out in response to Iran’s “failed attempt” at placing additional sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz and for shooting eight missiles at U.S. forces in Jordan. Trump warned that if Iran retaliated for Tuesday’s “very justified attack,” the United States would hit the regime again “at a much harder and higher level.” The president also warned Tehran that the “biggest attack of them all” was yet to come and that when it was over there would be “very little left” of Iran. Trump reiterated his warning in comments to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst on Tuesday. He told Yingst that the U.S. military’s strikes were a “very big hit” and that “if it goes a third time, they’re going to be totally wiped out as a country. The president also told Yingst
that Tuesday’s military strikes targeted radar that Iran was trying to rebuild in the southwestern part of Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. He said the United States was monitoring the reconstruction of the radar and launched the strikes just before the construction was completed. Asked about a future peace agreement with Iran, Trump said, “I think an agreement with them isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.” Fars and Tasnim, two semiofficial news agencies linked to the IRGC, reported that Iran started firing drones and missiles in response to the U.S. military strikes on Sept. 1. The U.S. military said it carried out attacks on Aug. 30 targeting two Iranian rocket launchers loaded with sea mines on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran condemned the strikes as an “act of aggression.” CENTCOM denied Iran’s claim in a statement on social media. U.S. forces took “limited, precise action” against Iran’s minelaying forces, the command
said, noting that the Iranian forces posed an imminent threat in the Strait of Hormuz. “In essence, Iran created the threat, and the U.S. military eliminated it to protect civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce,” CENTCOM stated. In response to the U.S. military attacks on Aug. 30, Iran launched missiles targeting U.S. military bases in Jordan. The regime’s foreign ministry announced on Aug. 31 that its armed forces had conducted “defensive and crushing strikes” against the bases. Trump later confirmed that all of the Iranian missiles were intercepted except one that was allowed to pass through without being intercepted because officials determined it would not hit anything significant. Before the launch of additional U.S. military strikes on Tuesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had offered to return to the peace deal outlined under the June 17 memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran if Washington
agreed to do the same. “I am stating clearly that if the United States returns to its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding, the Islamic Republic of Iran will immediately reciprocate,” Pezeshkian said during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Kyrgyzstan on Sept. 1. The Aug. 30 strikes on Larak Island were the first military strikes U.S. forces had carried out against the regime since late July. Washington and Tehran agreed to a ceasefire in April and a memorandum of understanding in June. The agreement established a 60-day window for the two countries to negotiate a permanent peace deal. However, the peace deal collapsed after Iran attacked multiple commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the United States to launch strikes against Iranian targets for 13 consecutive days. Additional U.S. strikes had been paused by Trump to create space for negotiations, which ultimately stalled last month.
US–Venezuela Deal Could Shake Up Global Oil Markets
US Manufacturing Activity Expands for 8th Straight Month, Report Says
A new deal with Venezuela that gives the United States majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves is expected to reshape global oil markets and give Washington significant control over oil prices. U.S. President Donald Trump described the pact as “the biggest oil deal in world history.” Although many details remain unclear, here is what has emerged so far and how observers are responding to the deal announced on the evening of Aug. 28. Inside the Financial Structure of the Deal Under the agreement, the U.S. government will form a joint venture with an unnamed private business in Venezuela. “The deal we have negotiated will secure the United States 55% effective output of a new private joint venture,” a U.S. official told The Epoch Times in an email. The U.S. government, in partnership with the “experienced private operator in Venezuela,” has secured 100-year concessions for oil fields with 65 billion barrels in proven reserves. “This new entity will be the second-largest corporate holder of proven reserves [in the world] after Saudi Aramco,” the U.S. official said. The U.S. government will control more than half of the new entity’s value through direct equity and guaranteed at-cost offtake, meaning discounted oil purchases. Trump said the deal was negotiated by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez. He emphasized that the deal comes “at no cost to the American taxpayer.” In a statement, Rubio described the deal as “a huge win” for Americans and Venezuelans. The agreement, he said, “will bring nearly $100 billion in private investment” to Venezuela, creating new jobs and reviving the country’s economy. Rodríguez celebrated the oil deal in a televised address on Aug. 29. She said the project seeks to develop “17 strategic oilfields with a production target of more than 1.5 million barrels per day.” Venezuelan Oil to Refill US Strategic Reserves Trump on Aug. 30 stated on Truth Social that oil purchased through this agreement will be used to replenish the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). In late August, the SPR fell to nearly 290 million barrels, reaching a 44-year low. “One of the things I am going to do with the Venezuelan Oil is fill up the Strategic National Reserves,” Trump said. He criticized the Biden administration for depleting the reserve. “The ‘topping out’ process will begin very shortly, and is a Gift from Venezuela to the People of the United States,” Trump wrote. The U.S. official stated that as the

Emel Akan Senior Repor ter
company increases production, the consistent supply of at-cost oil will help replenish the SPR and support the needs of the U.S. military. The announcement of the deal comes as gas prices in the United States have remained high six months into the conflict with Iran, and roughly nine months after American military forces captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves, estimated at 303 billion barrels. However, oil production has declined significantly during the Maduro regime because of mismanagement and underinvestment. How the Deal Could Shift Global Oil Markets According to Trump, the “historic transaction” would more than double American oil reserves, which currently stand at 46 billion barrels. He said the deal would increase oil supplies and lower gas prices for Americans. Evan Ellis, a military strategist and former Latin America policy adviser to the U.S. State Department, stated that the deal is expected to strengthen the U.S. position in global oil markets. He told The Epoch Times that America’s “control of 65 billion barrels of recoverable oil would significantly impact the U.S. position in international petroleum markets and access to that oil at cost.” In addition, it’s a big win for U.S. refiners, particularly those in Houston, which are accustomed to processing high-sulfur, heavy Venezuelan oil. Venezuela may also withdraw from OPEC, which it helped found in 1960. Such a move could further weaken OPEC’s decades-long influence over global oil markets. On May 1, the United Arab Emirates officially left the cartel after nearly 60 years of membership. Questions Surround Venezuelan Private Operator Multiple media, citing anonymous sources, have reported that the U.S. government plans to work with North American Blue Energy Partners, a company owned by Alejandro Betancourt López, as the project’s private Venezuelan operator. It has also been reported that the project would receive financial backing from the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital (OSC). However, both the White House and the Pentagon declined to identify the private operator involved in the transaction. “The Office of Strategic Capital does not take equity stakes in private companies,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told The Epoch Times. “Under its statutory authority, OSC’s role is strictly limited to providing capital assistance in the form of a loan, loan guarantee, or technical assistance.” Addressing concerns about the private operator, a source familiar with the negotiations told The Epoch Times that the U.S. government has ruled out any partnership with Venezuelan government entities, including the state-run oil giant Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A.
The U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of War negotiated with the private operator to hammer out the deal, according to the source, adding that they put strong oversight measures in place to ensure that the venture is managed effectively. Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson declined to comment on specific commercial or legal considerations related to the conditional loan commitment process. “Before any capital assistance is provided or loan is disbursed, OSC conducts extensive due diligence and comprehensive legal review of potential transactions to fulfill all applicable legal and regulatory requirements,” Wilson told The Epoch Times. Reactions to the Deal The agreement between the United States and Venezuela has received mixed reactions from politicians and economists. Ricardo Hausmann, a Harvard professor and former minister of planning of Venezuela, criticized the agreement as a “shameful deal” and a “fiasco,” arguing that the head of Venezuela’s interim government, Rodríguez, has “no legitimacy or constitutional power to commit Venezuela to any such deal.” Venezuelan economist Francisco Rodríguez criticized the deal on X, saying that it was made under pressure from Trump and does not benefit Venezuelans. He called on Venezuela’s National Assembly to reject what he described as a “predatory deal.” According to Ellis, signing a deal with the interim government introduces some political risks for Washington. He emphasized that Washington needs a legitimate democratic government and the rule of law in Venezuela to achieve lasting policy goals. Some Democrats also pushed back on the deal, arguing that it would benefit oil companies rather than advance democracy in Venezuela. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) criticized Trump, arguing that the removal of Maduro was primarily motivated by the prospect of expanding corporate access to oil resources. “Using our troops for a private oil grab is corruption at epic scale!” he wrote on X. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) echoed that criticism. “Let’s be clear: this isn’t a win. This is proof Trump put our service members at risk to get Venezuelan oil for his billionaire buddies,” he wrote. However, some Republicans argued that the pact would benefit both the United States and Venezuela. “If it were up to DC Democrats, Maduro would still be in power, Venezuelan oil would be going to China at half price, and the people of Venezuela would be getting robbed by a corrupt regime,” Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) wrote on X. “Instead, this historic deal benefits both countries for generations!” Ryan Morgan, Troy Myers, and Tom Gantert contributed to this report.
Tariffs and business spending have been the ‘main tailwinds for overall manufacturing,’ one expert said
U.S. manufacturing activity expanded for the eighth consecutive month in August, a major trade association said. According to a Sept. 1 report by the Institute for Supply Management, last month’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI)—a monthly survey that reflects the industry’s prevailing economic direction—came in at 54.6, from July’s four-year high of 55.6. This came in slightly below the market estimate of 55.2. Despite August’s modest deceleration, the Institute for Supply Management’s reading marked the eighth straight monthly expansion in factory activity, suggesting that manufacturing contributed positively to third-quarter economic growth prospects. Five out of the six largest manufacturing industries registered growth. The widely watched Atlanta Federal Reserve GDPNow Model suggests the July–September expansion will be 4.8 percent, fueled by consumer spending, business investment, and changes in private inventories. “The sentiment among U.S. manufacturers improved in August, continuing the improving trend this year,” RSM economist Tuan Nguyen said in a Sept. 1 note. “Tariff refunds, rising business and government spending on defense and AI-related products have been the main tailwinds for overall manufacturing demand.” Still, last month’s easing was driven by a sharp decline in new orders and a dip in output. Input prices were unchanged and elevated but down from their April peak. The employment sub-index, meanwhile, also eased, indicating upcoming softness in the sector’s job creation. New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics—a government agency tracking jobs, inflation, and wages—suggest that job vacancies in durable goods manufacturing accelerated, supporting July’s rebound in openings. Similarly, S&P Global’s manufacturing PMI remained in expansion territory, and August’s reading was revised higher from the flash estimate earlier this month. It was a tug-of-war for U.S. companies as they grappled with input-cost inflation and slowing growth in new orders and output. At the same time, higher production, stronger employment, and a better business outlook lifted factory activity. “Growth in the US manufacturing economy remained welcome, but the August data point to some cracks in the sector’s health,” Usamah Bhatti, economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said in a statement attached to
the report. Data Centers Construction spending unexpectedly fell in July, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Residential construction spending tumbled by more than 1 percent, accounting for the entire decrease. Business spending ticked up 0.1 percent, driven almost entirely by office construction, which rose almost 3 percent. From construction to factory activity, a key factor in America’s brighter economic outlook is the prevalence of data centers nationwide, says Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial. “Data center construction spending growth is astronomical. For the second consecutive month, annual growth on data center construction is over 50%,” Roach told The Epoch Times in an emailed note. Investment is largely concentrated in this area, while construction spending on education and healthcare is down annually. Scores of companies are enjoying the fruits of the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure buildout, and industry leaders say the AI-data center boom is bringing manufacturing back to the United States. “AI is bringing manufacturing back to America and reindustrializing the nation after decades of offshoring, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in an Aug. 30 post on X. “AI is creating demand that drives investment in our aging power grid and sustainable energy, powered by market forces, not subsidies.” But many Americans, based on a wide range of polls, are apprehensive about data centers. A July Fox News poll found that 70 percent of voters oppose the construction of data centers in their communities. A June Reuters-Ipsos survey found that 57 percent of U.S. adults oppose building a data center within 10 miles of their homes. Much of the opposition stems from concerns surrounding water and electricity usage. Data centers could be one of the driving issues heading into November’s midterm elections. But President Donald Trump has encouraged the public to accept data centers. In an Aug. 31 Truth Social post, the president said the only reason communities should not want data centers is if they want to be “backwards and poor.” “If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign,” Trump said on his social media platform. “If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame.” Copyright 2026 The Epoch Times.

“Insidious: Out of the Further” By Bob Garver
The big drawback to getting in an advance review of “Coyote vs. Acme” last week is that “Insidious: Out of the Further” is even less relevant this week. The horror film toppled from second place to fourth at the domestic box office, behind even the seventh weekend of “The Odyssey,” while “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” continues to dominate at #1. Fortunately, that drawback is offset by the knowledge that the film was never worth much attention anyway. If there’s one horror franchise that loves its jump scares, it’s “Insidious.” The 2010 original sold itself with a trailer that included a jump scare after it had supposedly concluded - not “at” the last moment, like a lot of horror trailers, but “after” the last moment, when the audience thinks they have a beat to rest. The film itself had a gnarly jump scare too, with its infamous red demon appearing in a drably-colored, but well-lighted scene with multiple characters in the daytime, also a setting where viewers think they can lower their guard. But that film also boasted performances by Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne and an originality to its world. “Insidious: Out of the Further” is the sixth installment in the franchise, it doesn’t boast greats like Wilson and Byrne, and fans very much know what to expect from these films at this point. We open with a sequence where
nine-year-old Gemma (Charli Penton) comes home to a mother (Laura Gordon) who manages a few loving platitudes, but is clearly out of sorts. The mother attacks the child before locking herself in a bathroom, which doesn’t end well. In the present day, adult Gemma (Amelia Eve) is a single mother determined to be better to her own daughter, Maya (Island Austin). She’s present for her at the beginning and end of every school day and talks to her as much as possible about every subject except her late, presumedly-mentally-ill grandmother. This being an “Insidious” film, it’s not long before strange things start happening: old toys reappear after being missing for decades, suspicious people are seen around the neighborhood, and Gemma starts having scary dreams that may or may not be dreams. Things ramp up. Dentist Gemma has an unsettling appointment with one of the new neighbors (disappointing scares in the rest of the movie aside, people uncomfortable with dentistry “will” be freaked out by this sequence). She gets unreasonably lost in a coffee-table-sized blanket fort and barely escapes with her life. Her cop boyfriend Nick (Brendon Parea) doesn’t believe her when she says she’s in danger. Franchise mainstay Dr. Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) does, but she can only be so much help considering she’s been dead for over ten years. Eventually Gemma learns
that all the scares are because her bloodline has ties to the purgatory-like realm known as The Further and that she and Maya are being targeted by cult leader Cyrus Lam (Sam Spruell), who is supposed to give off main-villain energy, but is somehow less scary-looking than any of his followers. Like many horror movies, “Insidious: Out of the Further” is at its scariest in its early stages when we don’t know what’s going to pop out. We know that “something” is going to pop out, which itself depletes the scare, but we don’t know what and how. Once the veil has been pulled back on the villains and their motives, the film can’t be scary or exciting to save its life. Even a returning familiar face (other than Lin Shaye’s) couldn’t get a reaction out of my theater. And the non-horror action wasn’t pulling me in. I’m sure the actors are doing their best, but there’s not much interesting about the umpteenth horror setup with a parent, a kid, and generational trauma. After this film, I ask that the “Insidious” franchise go away and stay even Further away than before. Grade: C“Insidious: Out of the Further” is rated PG-13 for strong violent content, bloody images, terror and some strong language. Its running time is 106 minutes.

Life Insurance: When the Phone Calls Stop, the Bills Continue Marc Sigmon, MBA Founder of Marc Sigmon Insurance Agency
September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, created by the nonprofit organization Life Happens to remind Americans about protecting those who depend on them. As a proud member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, I support and promote this awareness annually. That reminder remains necessary. According to the 2025 Insurance Barometer Study from LIMRA and Life Happens, 51% of Americans between ages 18 and 75 report owning life insurance. Yet 40%—approximately 100 million people—say they need coverage or need more than they currently have. Those figures represent families who may be left with a mortgage, household bills, debts, childcare or caregiving responsibilities, education expenses and the sudden loss of someone’s income. The reality is that after the flowers wilt, the cards are stored in a box and the phone calls stop, the financial obligations continue. A family may be grieving while also confronting a drastically reduced household income. Final expenses create an immediate burden. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the national median cost of a funeral with viewing and burial was $8,300 in 2023, while the median cost of a funeral with cremation was $6,280. Those figures may not include every cemetery charge, monument, reception, travel expense or unpaid
bill a family faces. When no plan exists, we increasingly see an online fundraiser created after someone dies. Let me be direct: GoFundMe is not a life insurance policy. It does not have to be a family’s only option. Crowdfunding can be a generous way for a community to rally around a grieving family. I respect those who contribute. But community generosity should provide additional support—not become a family’s primary financial strategy. A fundraiser depends on who sees it, who shares it and how much others can afford to give. It requires grieving relatives to publicly explain their loss, ask for help and hope enough money arrives in time. GoFundMe charges no fee to create a personal fundraiser in the United States, but its published pricing includes a transaction fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents per donation. That is fundraising. It is not a protection plan established before the loss. I have personally delivered life insurance proceeds to surviving family members. No amount of money can replace the person they loved, and a benefit check cannot remove their grief. It can, however, provide time to mourn without immediately wondering how they will pay the mortgage, keep food on the table or maintain stability for their children. The gift of life insurance is a tangible way to say, “I love you,” to the family members left behind. It represents protection made possible because someone took the time to prepare for those they loved.
Life insurance should be considered for more than funeral expenses. Would a surviving spouse need time away from work? Could the household continue paying its mortgage and monthly bills? Who would fund a child’s education? Would aging parents, a family member with special needs or others who depend on your care remain protected? Owning a policy, however, is only part of the responsibility. It must also be reviewed. My family learned that lesson painfully when my stepfather died unexpectedly while I was serving on active duty in the U.S. Navy. He had life insurance, but the beneficiary information had not been properly updated following a divorce and second marriage. My mother did not receive the proceeds. That experience became part of why I entered this profession and why I encourage families to review—not merely purchase— their coverage. A policy written years ago may no longer reflect a marriage, divorce, birth, adoption, home purchase, business obligation or caregiving responsibility. Beneficiary designations should be examined carefully because they generally determine who receives the policy proceeds.
Cost, Convenience and Underwriting We have all seen commercials offering life insurance for only a few dollars per month, sometimes without a medical examination. Yet cost remains widely misunderstood. Life Happens and LIMRA
have reported that most Americans overestimate the cost of life insurance by approximately three times or more. Their 2025 Insurance Barometer Study found an even greater misconception among healthy adults ages 18 to 30, who overestimated the median cost of a $250,000, 20year level-term policy by 10 to 12 times. The good news is that life insurance may be more affordable than many people assume. However, an advertised price alone does not establish whether the amount, duration and terms of a policy will meet your family’s needs. Underwriting should not be feared. It is the process an insurance company uses to evaluate eligibility and determine an applicant’s risk classification and premium. Depending on the policy and applicant, it may involve general health questions, prescription records or a medical examination. Providing this information may allow a healthy applicant to qualify for more favorable rates than would be available through some guaranteed-issue policies. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners cautions that guaranteed-issue coverage may cost more than traditionally underwritten coverage for an applicant who could qualify for preferred rates. Receiving a price without discussing basic health information may be convenient, but convenience alone does not establish whether the coverage is suitable. Ask what the policy covers, how long it lasts, whether premiums can increase, whether benefits are
graded or limited during the first years, and what exclusions apply. This September, take three practical steps. Have an honest conversation with your family about what would happen financially if someone did not come home tomorrow. Use the free Life Insurance Needs Calculator from Life Happens to begin estimating the income, debts and future obligations that may need protection. Finally, meet with a licensed insurance professional to review your needs, existing coverage, policy ownership and beneficiary designations. Life insurance is not about placing a value on someone’s life. It is about making certain the people you love receive a plan instead of being left with a plea for help.

HOME & GARDEN Rose Care FUNdamentals for September 2026
Is uncharacteristiccally hot humid weather hurting your roses?
by Frank Brines, ARS Master Rosarian
Southern California (including the Temecula Valley) has been experiencing uncharacteristic humidity for almost a month as reflected in the dew point. This is primarily due to the very strong El Nino still building in off our Pacific coast, as well as tropical moisture swept up by recent Pacific storms and atmospheric patterns trapping moisture over SoCal. It makes for some very uncomfortable weather for us humans, but maybe not for roses? I’m not sure. All the more reason to stay diligent and check your garden regularly. In any case, temperatures have been trending higher in the last seven years. Stay alert to the water status of your roses as the month progresses and continue to do so until cooler weather sets in (which we hope actually happens, right?) If you’re using drip irrigation, run your system in the early evening to give your roses the opportunity to hydrate overnight. If you’re using a hose or other non-surface method, do it in the early morning—it’s best to avoid getting water on vegetation during hot sunny days. With temperatures like this, it takes only a few days without sufficient water for a bush to be severely damaged or killed. Assess conditions every morning. If you wait to inspect until the afternoon or evening it may be too late or you might not get a good assessment of the plant’s condition because after a hot day, even plants getting sufficient hydration may appear a bit wilted. Look for wilted or dry crisping foliage. Sometimes if you discover it soon enough, dousing the stems and leaves with plenty of water in addition to applying plenty of water to the soil may save the plant. If you notice critter activity (from squirrels or gophers), give the wilted plant a gentle tug to see if the roots may have been eaten. If the plant comes up, put it in a bucket of water or bury the remaining parts in the soil. Give it lots of water and hope it survives. Also inspect your irrigation system to make sure it is delivering enough water, isn’t clogged, and isn’t overwatering—all problems that come with age in drip irrigation systems. An emitter
that’s delivering much more (or much less) water than others on the line can change the system pressure and affect the other emitters. The simple solution: Replace that emitter! Plants in pots require more frequent watering than those in the ground. As the soil dries it pulls away from the sides of the pots, allowing water to run through without penetrating the soil. A saucer may seem a good solution, but only temporarily until the soil rehydrates and expands to contact the pot wall: If water stands in a saucer for too long, it can create a low-oxygen conditions at the bottom of the pot, which can kill the roots in that region, as well as fostering mosquito larvae. Sun shining on an unglazed clay pot actually cools the soil by evaporation—but only as long as there is water: Once the soil dries out, it can cook the roots! Plastic pots don’t evaporate water, and if sitting on hot concrete, the roots can likewise be damaged. The bottom line: Potted roses need more water to maintain a cooler temperature of the soil during very hot weather. Try putting the pot on pot feet. Double potting— that is, placing the pot inside another larger pot—can slow down water lose by providing a curtain of air between the pots.
One more thing: The longer the soil is in a pot, the less porous space is available in the root zone, so repot every two years or so. Hot temperatures can attract spider mites. If you see the yellowing of the lower foliage may indicate an infestation. Check the underside of the lower leaves for grainy feeling substance or tap the leaves to dislodge any substance onto a paper to see these very small critters. The easiest way to treat is to use strong spray of water from below then give the plant a shower and rinse the mites to the ground. If you see fine webbing, you may need a stronger method. I’ve noticed another problem as a result of the weather this year: High temps and humidity have increased instances of Black Spot (indicated by yellow leaves with usually round-shaped black spots). I have not seen any sign of black spot in my garden yet. With the humidity comes dewy nights, which then tend to incubate powdery mildew. At the first signs of any disease, it is best to start treating with fungicide or a pesticide (preferably one containing Spinosad). If you’re allowing your roses to rest during the summer, you still have several weeks to take it easy before a mid-season pruning. As a
wise man once said, “Predicting things is difficult, especially the future,” but one can only assume it will look a little like the past, especially with the weather. This year I plan to do my mid-season pruning in mid-September in preparation for fall rose shows. If you have a special event for which you would like to have fresh rose blooms, count back 6-8 weeks from that planned event to decide when you should do your end-of-summer pruning. You can have two more bloom cycles this calendar year. Remember, mid-season pruning is light, removing any point along a cane where many stems of blooms came out. For quicker repeat blooming, prune each cane back to just above the outward-facing bud at the base of the first five leaflets. After pruning and at least one thorough watering, apply a good fertilizer. Read the directions on the container to discern the type of application and what to do. I use granules, powder or liquid and water it in for the quickest effect. I recommend the use of fertilizers with higher phosphate be applied now. Two gallons for larger varieties and one gallon for smaller. REMEMBER: Never fertilize a dry or water-stressed plant—always
water the day before. Now is a great time to clear the debris in, around and under your rose garden. Due to the heat, you may have a lot of leaf drop and old petals build up. Keeping the garden free of debris all year is best practice. Once that’s done, it’s a good time to apply composted mulch. An area 10’ x 50’ needs 4-5 cubic yards to cover the garden 3”- 4” (which is the depth I recommend). This is the best product you can apply to protect your rose roots from heat and cold. A valuable bi-monthly online magazine which covers rose topics is the “American Rose” published by the American Rose Society (ARS). Go to www. ARS.org or rose.org for more information on obtaining it. When you have a moment to spare, or feel the need to get away, or when the day cools down, take your favorite beverage, a picnic basket, and visit our local one-of-a-kind Rose Haven Heritage Garden, 30592 Jedediah Smith Road, Temecula (cross street is Cabrillo Avenue).
