By Caroline Pohl, Staff ReporterAfter a spectacular first win against Compton High School with a score of 55-14,

Tesoro High School enters their football season on a strong note. With seventeen returning seniors, there are high hopes for this year’s team.

Early in August, Titans began their practices in two-a-days, spending more than six hours a day in the very heat of summer. The players trained from 8:00 to 11:00 in the morning, lifted for half an hour afterwards, and continued their practice from 3:00 to 5:30 at night. “It was hot and tiring,” said Head Coach Brian Barnes. “But in the end, we accomplished what we sought out to do—get the kids prepared to play.”

On August 24, in their first game of the season, the Titans experienced a taste of success. Led by senior quarterback Matt Adam and senior running back Nate Tago, the Titans gained a quick lead over Compton High School in the first half of the game. Adam, who threw a perfect eight for eight, carried out three touchdowns. Wide receiver Forest Dunivin assisted touchdowns with two phenomenal catches, and Tago scored a 26 yard touchdown. Composed of defensive lineman Chazz Roberts, free safety Nick Crouch, and middle backer Connor Toohey, Tesoro’s defense will continue to be a formidable match for rival schools this season. “We go into every game expecting to win,” said Barnes. “Compton had some great athletes, but in my mind, we were the better team overall.”

Due to the strength of the senior leadership, expectations remain high for Tesoro High School. Many players have served three years on Varsity, and it was this team that last season beat Servite, the number one ranked team in California, in the PAC-5 Semi-Finals. The Titans are taking the season one game at a time, focusing on this week’s game against Hart High School.

However, the rivalry between Tesoro and Mission Viejo High School always remains an intense one. Last year, the game against Mission Viejo was close throughout, with Mission Viejo narrowly defeating Tesoro at the end by one touch-down. This year, Tesoro will play their rival on October 19, but in the meantime, the Diablos are left to dwell in the back of Tesoro’s mind.

As a team, the Titans are continuously challenging themselves to improve and fix any minor weaknesses they encounter with each game. Despite having an imposing adversary in Santa Margarita Catholic High School, the Titans hope to compete for a CIF, or even State, title this season.

Tesoro High School enters their football season on a strong note

Head Coach Brian Barnes gets the team prepared

Ladera Ranch will host its inaugural 9/11 Heroes Run on Sunday, Septem-ber 9, 2012. The 5k race to honor the fallen and support veterans, families of the fallen, and CHOC Children’s will begin at 8:30 a.m. near Founders Park. Sponsored by Ladera Ranch gym, CrossFit Ethos, Selma’s, Dick’s and other local businesses, the 5k will unite Orange County communities in honoring the fallen by challenging the living.

An estimated 25,000 runners, 50,000 spectators, and 2,000 volunteers around the world will unite on the weekend of September 8 for the annual 9/11 Heroes Run, which the Travis Manion Foundation created to honor heroes of the Sep-tember 11 terrorist attacks and the brave men and women who have stepped forward to defend our country in the eleven years since.

In addition to the 5k, there are expected by several family friendly, interactive displays from the Marines, local fire stations and police stations. For registration and information about the 9/11 Heroes Run, please visit www.911heroesrun.com.

From Afghanistan to Ladera Ranch, thousands of Americans touched by the heroism of American troops, police officers, firefighters, first responders, and citizens will unite. Close to 50 races across the globe are planned for 2012, with half of net proceeds benefiting the Travis Manion Foundation, which helps families of the fallen, veterans, and active duty troops. The remaining 50 percent will be redistributed to local charities, including CHOC Children’s.

The 9/11 Heroes Run was inspired by Marine 1st Lt. Travis Manion’s visit to Rescue Team One in New York City shortly before his second and final combat deployment. Travis, who was posthumously awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star with Valor for the courage he displayed under fire, was killed by an enemy sniper in Fallujah, Iraq, on April 29, 2007.

After her only son’s death, Travis’ mother, Janet Manion, founded the Travis Manion Foundation with a mission of honoring the fallen by challenging the living. The 9/11 Heroes Run is one of the Foundation’s pillar programs, which also include Honor the Fallen initiatives and the Character Does Matter leader-ship program.

Local Dentist Dr. Michael Tessier Discusses Source and Cure of

Chipping Upper Front Teeth

A nice lady in her middle 50’s came into the offi ce the other day with a chipped upper front tooth. It turns out that the

opposing tooth on the lower arch was rotated, and one corner of that tooth hit the up-per tooth wrong, and broke it. We patched the chip, but that was not the source of the problem.During one’s lifetime, lower teeth migrate toward the front of the mouth, and then to-wards the center. If the four lower front teeth stay in alignment with each other, they’ll stay straight. But, if the forward migration pressure is too great, they’ll start to rotate. This has a deleterious effect on the supporting tissues of these teeth because it is harder to keep them clean and the gums healthy. It also has a negative impact on the upper front teeth, making them stick out unevenly, or fracturing them, or as in the case of another of my patients, loosens them and predisposes them to premature loss.The solution is to minimally, imperceptibly (0.25mm per side per tooth) reduce the width of each of the lower front teeth, then moving them back out of harm’s way so that they can’t do any more damage. A removable orthodontic appliance, like a retainer, does the trick. Or, the series of computer-generated aligners from Invisalign which as the name implies are nearly invisible also work for this.Some people may think that nobody sees the lower front teeth, so their alignment isn’t critically important. It turns out, that’s not the case. We need to keep all the teeth healthy and functional.Next time you’re close to a mirror, check out your lower front teeth. If they’re crooked, call me. When you call Please be sure to ask about “Care Credit”, a credit card offering up to 12 months of interest-free credit on dental work. I like this because there are no premiums that have to be paid whether any dental work is required or not Dr. Michael Tessier’s offi ce is located at 28562 Oso Parkway the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways (near the car wash). Most major credit cards and dental plans are cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212.

More than nine in 10 Capistrano Unified School Dis-trict (CUSD) sopho-mores in the Class o f 2014 passed the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) on their first attempt, results released by the Cal-ifornia Department of Education show.

The rates are con-sistent with results from the previous two classes. This year, 92 percent of 10th graders passed on their first attempt on the ELA assessment and 92 percent passed mathematics. In 2010-2011, 92 percent passed the math portion and 93 percent passed ELA. The previous year, 92 percent of the class of 2012 passed each assessment.

“When you have such a high percentage of students showing they have the skills and ability to meet the state’s graduation re-quirements, you know that our continued emphasis on instruction is paying off,” Board President Dr. Gary Pritchard said. “The hard work of our teachers and the high expectations of our parents ensure that these students will be ready for both college and career when they graduate in two years.”

One area in which the District improved considerably is with stu-dents who have been designated as English learners. The EL population

increased their first time pass rate from 49 percent to 55 percent in math and from 40 percent to 46 per-cent on the ELA portion of the test.

“We are excited about the in-creased results by our EL students,” Superintendent Joe Farley said. “This increase is proof that the work our teachers are doing to improve instruction for everyone is working, but we have to continue to evaluate and refine our teaching strategies so that we can ensure that all of our students succeed.”

Those strategies include a re-newed emphasis on instruction through the District’s Academic Design and Delivery program, which encourages teachers to use the best research-based strategies that can address the needs of all the students in the classroom. So far, two-thirds of the schools have un-dergone training and implemented strategies from the program. The

final schools will begin the program this school year.

The CAHSEE, which is required to earn a high school diploma, is taken for the first time in grade 10 and is based on state content standards for English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics.

In June, data showed that 96.5 percent of the Class of 2011 grad-uated, and 1.7 percent ei ther completed the requirements for a special education certificate of completion or are still enrolled in school.

State law specifies that all public high school students must take the CAHSEE for the first time in grade 10. Students who do not pass the CAHSEE in grade 10 have two op-portunities in grade 11 and up to five opportunities in grade 12 to pass the examination.

By Sophie WaltonIt is school time again and if you

are like me, you need all the help you can get keeping everyone where they need to be and doing what they should be doing. Keeping schedules straight, making sure homework is done, projects are completed and appointments are not missed is al-ways difficult during the school year. It may be the most wonderful time of the year for parents; however, return-ing to school can also be the most stressing time.

Keeping organized during the school year is now much easier with great iPhone and iPad apps. Many of them are free or cost very little so or-ganization is not only easy it is cheap.

Top five back-to-school apps to stay organized

· CampusBooks - This free app will search the internet for you to return the lowest price on new, used, rental and digital textbooks. When every penny counts, saving money on schoolbooks is fantastic - - especially when it is this easy.

· Cozi Family Organizer - This is a must-have iPhone and iPad app for mothers - - especially dur-ing the school year. This great free

app includes a fam-ily calendar, shop-ping lists, to-do lists, family journals and meal plans. The app allows you to keep every family member organized with one application.

· Evernote - This is another free app that is great to keep you organized going back to school. I love this app because it al-lows me to search my notes (helpful when I cannot remember anything lately) and I can synchronize all of my notes, photos and voice memos with all of our family’s devices. My daughter loves this for taking notes!

· myHomework - This is a great app for students and for parents. Keep up with homework assignments, projects, tests and class schedules. It is heaven-sent if you have more than one student and you are trying to keep them all organized. It is a free app but pay the $1.99 for web access

so you get reminders! · Clipboard - If you are the mother

that always is tapped by the teach-ers to organize volunteers and plan events, this free app will be your best friend during the school year. You can easily sign up volunteers, send auto-matic reminders and track progress.

One more app that all parents need for back-to-school time

This app may not keep you or-

ganized but it will make your child rethink their belief that you know absolutely nothing. . . For parents like me who have forgotten the vast majority of US History, biology, alge-bra and most other school subjects, School A to Z is indispensable. This free app is like having a tutor in your pocket. It is a great tool for helping students with their homework.

Santa Margarita Catholic High School will celebrate its 25th An-niversary by recreating the ceremonious welcome which took place upon the school’s opening in 1987. As SMCHS prepares to welcome students back to campus for the 2012-2013 school year, Principal Ray Dunne, President Paul Carey and the Board of Administration look forward to celebrating this significant milestone with special friends and benefactors who have been so important to the life of the school. The event is on Sept. 4, 2012, 7:30 am.

The day will include celebratory remarks on the athletic field, an aerial photo, and will conclude with Bishop Brown blessing the front gates of campus with those in attendance processing though the gates while the school’s band and cheerleaders provide enter-tainment. The event will be followed by an on-campus gratitude reception.

Those in attendance include Bishop Tod Brown, Vicar of Faith Formation Fr. Gerald Horan, Diocese of Orange Superintendent of Schools Greg Dhuyvetter, alumni including those from the first graduating class, school founders, students, faculty, and staff and friends and family of the Santa Margarita community.

Santa Margarita Catholic High School offers a college-preparatory education emphasizing the formation of the entire person. The school’s 42-acre campus is nestled against the picturesque Saddle-back Valley Mountains in Rancho Santa Margarita. In the fall of 1987, the school opened its doors and the charter class of 218 students graduated in June of 1991.

Now home to more than 1,650 students each year, Santa Margarita boasts dedicated faculty and staff, unmatched academic programs, faith-filled activities and competitive athletics.

SMCHS strives to develop students who are people of faith, skilled lifelong learners, healthy individuals and involved citizens of our world. Students are challenged to grow spiritually, intellectually, socially and morally. The school prides itself in a strong sense of community, nurturing environment, opportunities available to stu-dents, and dedication to living out Caritas Christi, the love of Christ.

Athletes Choice Coach of the week Bob JonesBob Jones is in his fourth year in the role of head coach in the Santa Margarita Pop Warner league, this year leading the Titans in the Mitey Mite division, with 21 nine year old boys, 8 assistant coaches, and countless family volunteers.

Coach Jones grew up playing year-round sports in the suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, with respect for all of his youth team coaches who prepared him for excelling in high school both academically and athletically. After high school, Coach Jones went on to play college football at Moorhead State University where he was named the small college 1st Team All-American quarterback as a senior. After col-lege, coach Jones went on to play four years of football in the Football League of Europe, During each off season Jones began coaching college and high school football and basketball and developed a deep respect for coaching.

Coach Jones and his wife Kinzie and 4 children moved to Rancho Santa Margarita in the summer of 2008. Later that fall, Bob’s son Ty asked about playing football so he registered Ty in Santa Margarita pop Warner and volunteered his time to coach a team. Coach Jones has said it was a true blessing falling into such a great community and the organization of Santa Margarita pop Warner with inspired kids, and supportive families. Coach Jones’ team goal is fi rst of all to focus on fun, teaching life lessons, and building sportsmanship and character. Bob Jones says “ Years from now the kids and parents won’t remember the scores or even the wins and losses, but they will remember the life lessons and the friendships with teammates and coaches, so I try to create an environment in which these can fl ourish.”

20Th anniVersary oF zooFari raises nearly $80,000

The 20th annual Zoofari fundraising black-tie gala hosted by The Friends of Santa Ana Zoo, a non-profit organization was again, a complete success with over 350 guests attending the 1920’s theme party entitled “A Cat’s Meow.” Zoofari takes place at one of the most inspiring venues in Orange County, The Santa Ana Zoo.

With the 1920’s theme, ladies arrived in flapper attire or their best animal print cocktail dress while the men donned gangster suits or the traditional tux and safari wear. Cocktails were provided with one special drink appropriately named, “Roarin’ Rickey’s Fizz” reminiscent of the Bathtub Gin tastings from the 1920’s (and they had a real bathtub filled!). Attendees also enjoyed inspired decorations by R.W.B. Party Rentals, a large silent auction as well as special visits with the animals. Free valet parking was sponsored by Villa Ford along with a hosted bar by FOSAZ, appetizers and then a delicious gourmet dinner prepared by Parties by Panache. An extraor-dinary live auction and dancing to the lively tunes of the “Soundbytes” followed.

Co-chairs and emcees for the evening were OC Register columnists Frank Mickadeit and Barbara Venezia with Glen Fladeboe as auctioneer. FOSAZ Presi-dent Debbie Friedman and Executive Director Cathi Decker helped present special honors to Mark and Shio Hui Harrison; Lucille and Mike Harrison; David Exline and Amos Bracero. They were instrumental in bringing the Pavement of Progress team together by meeting with designers, contractors and architects. This project resulted in the pathways and service roads at the Santa Ana Zoo to be eco-friendly and also provide improved accessibility for disabled guests and guests requiring mobile assistance.

A special “reveal” of the Ocelot location where the exhibit “Wild Cats of El Bosque Verde” (Wild Cats of the Green Forest) will be housed was unveiled; this was the first time the public was able to see the exhibit location before it is built. Retired Zoo Director Ron Glazier gave the approximately thirty five special guests, VIP’s and press who were in attendance a behind the scenes look at the exhibit and described the area showing the detailed artist renderings while they sipped on champagne.

The event netted about $80,000 this year adding to a total of almost half a million dollars to bring a pair of Brazilian Ocelots to the Zoo. Ocelots are beautiful exotic wild cats from South America, often described as miniature cheetahs. There are currently only 26 Brazilian Ocelots in the United States.

Food for the evening was appropriately named for the 1920’s theme, starting with “Flappers and Flyboys” hors d’oeuvres and names such as “Sitting Pretty” Summer Fruit Salad, “Bee’s Knees” Petite Filet Mignon, “Putting on the Ritz” St. Peter’s Fish, and “Don’t Know From Nothing” Grilled Vegetable Napoleons - guests were delighted with the fun.

The LIVE Auction proved to be a bidding war as many amazing items were up for grabs. Items such as an Apple 64GB, iPad3 donated by Board Member Howard Hall where Debra Schweickert from Newport Beach took it home for $1000; board member Monica Kim from Anaheim Hills grabbed the dinner for eight by Chef Chet Harrison for $1,700; a three night adventure to the Arizona Biltmore with a $300 Visa gas card and 4 tickets to the Phoenix Zoo, the Desert Botanical Garden and the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium went to another board member Jane Olin from Irvine for $1500; the Gucci handbag that was stuffed with 100 California Scratchers, a mystery amount of cash and other items went to Advisory board member Tom Newmeyer from Newport Beach for $3,000; Robert McGraw from Laguna Beach was the lucky winner of the eight days and seven nights at the Cabo Azul Resort & Spa with airfare on Alaska Airlines, he paid $3,000; and an up close and personal visit with the Santa Ana Zoo’s Margay cat, Buttons for six were fiercely bid on by many. So many in fact that it sold four times at $500 each! The final Live Auction item was a straight donation where all were encouraged to raise their “boarding pass” to help with the airline expenses to bring the Ocelots to the Santa Ana Zoo. Money raised will help to fund the travel costs as well as the initial medical expenses of the two Ocelots. FOSAZ was hoping on raising $11,000 and by the end of the evening, they did. “We’re so excited because of the funds generated by Zoofari, Photos by Ann Chatillon

we are able to bring the Brazilian Ocelots to the Santa Ana Zoo. It’s like a dream come true especially to the community and donors who support the zoo”, said Cathi Decker, Executive Director of FOSAZ.

Zoofari is sponsored by FOSAZ, a non-profit organization which has helped sup-port and improve the Zoo for over 31 years. The Santa Ana Zoo is Orange County’s only AZA accredited Zoo and is recognized as signifying excellence and commitment to animal care and conservation. The Santa Ana Zoo provides a place to have fun, to learn, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. For more information, please visit www.santaanazoo.org.

Classical music superstar Lang Lang returns to Pacific Symphony for a one-night-only special event, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, on Thursday, Sept. 27, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Re-cently honored with carrying the Olympic Torch for the 2012 Summer Games and performing for Queen Elizabeth II at the Diamond Jubilee, the 30-year-old Chi-nese piano virtuoso has been for some time garnering attention the world over, playing sold-old recitals and concerts in every major city. Heralded as the “hottest artist on the classical music planet,” by The New York Times, Lang Lang joins the Symphony for not one, but two of the most demanding piano concertos in the repertoire: Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, the “Emperor.” Tickets range from $35-$145; for more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit PacificSymphony.org.

“Lang Lang is in unbelievable de-mand as soloist,” says Maestro St.Clair. “There isn’t an orchestra in the world who wouldn’t want to have him on their series this season, or any season. We are indeed honored that he has chosen to return to Orange County and Pacific Symphony to perform two major concer-tos. It will be an honor for me to have the chance to work with him again. We are truly blessed!”

With lightning speed, drama and tech-nical brilliance, Lang Lang embodies the same “rock-star” appeal as Liszt did in the powerful, fleet parallel octaves of his Piano Concerto No. 1—passages that have become a touchstone of keyboard virtuosity. In 2011, Lang Lang recorded this romantic showpiece on the CD “Liszt, My Piano Hero” and DVD “Liszt, Now!” to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the composer. For the concert’s finale, the classical icon performs Beethoven’s grand and heroic “Emperor” Concerto, which opens with the quality of a royal fanfare and propelling cadenza-like flour-ishes from the star soloist. The orchestra kicks off the evening with Rimsky-Korsa-kov’s “Capriccio Espagnol,” a glittering display of orchestral colors based on Spanish themes.

“Lang Lang embodies music,” contin-ues St.Clair. “He understands the power of music and how it can elevate our lives. Through his electrifying, probing performances we are all transformed and enriched. Both Franz Liszt and Beethoven were piano virtuosos of their day. What better way to experience these concertos than by our modern day virtuoso, Lang Lang?”

Four years ago, over four billion people viewed Lang Lang’s performance at the opening ceremony for the Summer

Olympics in Beijing, where he was seen as a symbol of the youth and future of China. This status has inspired over 40 million Chinese children to learn to play classical piano—a phenomenon coined by “The Today Show” as “the Lang Lang effect.” Recognizing his powerful cultural influence, in 2008 The Recording Acade-my named him their cultural ambassador to China. Most recently, Lang Lang was chosen as an official worldwide ambas-sador to the 2010 Shanghai Expo, where he performed at the opening ceremony.

“One of the things that make Lang Lang so special is his burning desire to share his music making with children and people of all ages,” says St.Clair. “He is fully aware of the role this can play in helping shape their hearts, minds and spirits.”

A strong advocate for music educa-tion, Lang Lang was featured in the 2009 Time

100—Time magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. For nearly a decade the pianist has been giving back to children through volunteer activities as diverse as mentoring young talented pianists, convening piano students in concert, performing for sick children in hospitals, delivering music recitals in underserved

and remote communities and donating his musical talents to raise awareness of charitable causes. His efforts led to the recent launch of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation with the mission of inspiring the next generation of classical music lovers and performers by cultivating tomorrow’s top pianists, championing music education at the forefront of technology and building a young audience through live music experiences.

Lang Lang is the featured soloist on the Golden Globe-winning score “The Painted Veil” composed by Alexandre Desplat and can be heard on the soundtrack of “The Banquet” com-posed by Tan Dun. Most recently, he is the featured soloist on the movie “My Week with Marilyn.” All of his albums have entered the top classical charts as well as many pop charts around the globe. In 2007, he was nominated for a Grammy Award, becoming the first Chinese artist to be nominated for Best Instrumental Soloist. He was honored by The Recording Academy with the 2007 Presidential Merit Award; past recipients have included Zubin Mehta and Luciano Pavarotti.

In 2011, the Lang Lang Music World was launched, which is a multi-function-

ing arts complex located in Shenzhen and Chongqing, China. In 2004, he was appointed International Goodwill Ambas-sador to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). He also serves as chairman of the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award Project, on the Weill Music Institute Advisory Committee as part of Carnegie Hall’s educational program and is the youngest member of Carnegie Hall’s artistic advisory board. In May 2011, Lang Lang received an honorary doctorate of music from His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales at the Royal College of Music, and received his second honorary doctorate degree in musical arts at the Manhattan School of Music in May 2012.

Lang Lang began playing piano at the age of 3, his break into stardom came at

age 17, when he was called upon for a dramatic last-minute substitution at the “Gala of the Century,” playing a Tchaikovsky concerto with the Chicago Symphony. Following this gigantic de-but, he performed successful concerts around the world. The Times in London remarked: “Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm… This could well be history in the making.”

The exhilarating jump-off of the $40,000 Showpark Summer Classic Grand Prix will be talked about for the rest of the season as top West Coast riders put up their best performances attempting to top the leaderboard and walk away victorious. Of the thirty-four horse and rider duos, eleven qualified for the jump-off and specta-tors and competitors were on their feet watching each and every round. Speed and accuracy played a huge role as the level of intensity grew throughout the competition.

German course designer Olaf Petersen Jr. designed a track that ulti-mately challenged the up and coming young horses, but in turn, tested the veterans. A wide triple bar, a vertical-oxer-vertical combination and skinny vertical collected the most faults in the qualification round. Of the eleven fault-free rounds, crowd favorite Hap Hansen had their full attention as he guided Archie Bunker through the course, posting a flawless round in 85.596 seconds, yet again in pursuit of that number 100 Grand Prix win.

Of the nine nations representing today’s field, six returned with another chance to post a clean round. “I’m happy with the amount of returners,” Petersen commented on the jump-off

field, “I didn’t want to make it too dif-ficult, but next week is a World Cup Qualifier so there are still riders and horses preparing for that.” The crowd was yet again on their feet as Hansen returned to the ring. Kicking off the jump-off track with a new oxer, Han-sen guided Archie Bunker through a risky but clean round, posting the time to beat of 44.702 seconds. Bra-zilian rider Josephina Nor-Lantzman galloped into the ring aboard Chello Z ready to post her infamous swift and clear round. Blazing through the course, Nor-Lantzman looked well on her way to surpass Hansen’s time, but with the final charge to the last obstacle, Chello Z had an unfortunate chip on the back rail to finish with a four fault time of 42.554 seconds.

It wasn’t until Mexican rider Patri-cio Pasquel entered the ring aboard Serge, that Hap Hansen’s clear round would be challenged. Pasquel flew through the track, dodging between fences, turning on a dime, charging to the final oxer to trip the wire in 43.796 seconds, good enough to top the leaderboard, shifting Hansen to second. Half way through the jump-off, Ashlee Bond returned with Wistful to try and better Pasquel’s time. The small but mighty Wistful was able to

keep all the rails in the cups, but with a time of 45.116 seconds, would have to settle for third place.

Nearing the end of the jump-off, New Zea-land rider Guy Thom-as took the field with a mission. From the first obstacle, Thomas was flying through the course and looked to be on his way to posting a winning round. Coming home, Thomas spun Peterbilt around a rollback to a vertical but due to an unfortunate misstep, knocked a rail, resulting in the fastest four fault time of 42.432 seconds.

The final round of the day was posted by Paige Dotson and Rockford I. Dotson calmly entered the ring look-ing over the track to finalize her plan of attack. Dotson was ahead of the leading pace throughout her round, however as Dotson approached the final oxer, she collected Rockford I to guarantee a fault free effort, finishing in 45.345 seconds, good enough for fourth respectively.

“I am so happy,” Pasquel (MEX) shared with a smile from ear to ear. “Olaf’s course was perfect for Serge

because he doesn’t have the best scope but he is very fast. It could not have gone any better.” Pasquel (MEX) will return for next week’s $50,000 Showpark World Cup Grand Prix with hopes of posting the same result aboard his fearless 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood.

The first World Cup Qualifier in Cal-ifornia will be held next week during the Showpark All Seasons Summer Classic, August 29-September 2. The $50,000 Showpark World Cup Grand Prix, presented by EQU Lifestyle Magazine, will showcase some of the top West Coast Show Jumpers with hopes of accruing valuable World Cup points as well as HITS Million Grand Prix Qualifying prize money.

He has written hits for Boz Scaggs, Chicago, Peter Cetera, Al Jarreau and many others. The new release

again demonstrates Bobby’s prowess as a vocalist, composer, musician, arranger and producer. “House of Cards” features that classic Caldwell sound, with a hint of country, blues and even a Latin dance tune and features the great Dave Koz in a special guest appearance.
