Twenty-year-old Tina Di Landri Gets It Done In The $30,000 Blenheim Classic Grand Prix The June Classic I wrapped up today and it could not have been a better day to spend at the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park. The sun was shining and the competition was hot as up and coming star Tina Di Landri was able to outride the international field by over a second in a nail biting jump-off. The competition will only get better as the series runs for another three weeks in San Juan Capistrano. The Zone 10 North American Junior and Young Rider Championship Team Trails were the prelude to the young blood domination of the week. Both Junior and Young Riders rode towards a cumulative high point standing over the course of the week. By Sunday, the top ten riders were named to each team. The top four riders from Junior and Young Riders are named to the team with the fifth rider named as the team alternate and fifth individual rider. Both teams will continue on to the NAJYRC Finals later in the year in Lexington, Kentucky. Team names are listed below. Nineteen horse and rider pairs took on course designer Linda Allen’s Grand Prix course this afternoon in the $30,000 Blenheim Classic Grand Prix, presented by St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa. Veteran rider Rusty Stewart, and his trusty mount Bristol, led the International field as the first clear round in the 90 second time allowed track. “It’s a course suitable for the horses starting out and for the experienced ones”, mentioned Allen, “it’s always fun to see a mixed group tackle the same course.” Challenges included multiple tight turns, a triple bar, an oxer-vertical double, an optional water jump and a finishing line that included a vertical-oxervertical triple combination. Six other riders were able to go clear and join Stewart in the jump-off. Four nations represented the jump-off field, including Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and the United States. Allen adjusted the track for the jumpoff leaving contenders with a very demanding course but with numerous options. The competition’s intensity grew by round as each horse and rider were able to stop the clock and claim the lead. Riding for his 100th Grand Prix victory, Hap Hansen and Linda Smith’s Archie Bunker were able the best the men in the field and secure the lead with a time of 35.452. Three ladies wrapped up the field but with an unfortunate rail, Michelle Parker, and her magnificent nine-year-old Selle Francais mare Xel Ha, would become the fastest four faulters of the day.

It was deja vu as Brazilian rider Josephina Nor Lantzman galloped into the ring, looking to better the time of legend Hap Hansen, just as she did earlier this season in Thermal when she barred Hansen of his record win by just a few hundredths of a second. Lantzman took charge of the course, cutting corners and galloping between lines knowing that Chello Z was capable of topping the leaderboard yet again. Gunning to the wire, Lantzman and Chello Z stopped the clock in a blazing 35.151, to take the lead, and yet again, put Hansen’s 100th win on hold for another day, settling for 3rd respectively. With one rider to go in the jump-off, it seemed near impossible to better the time of current leader Lantzman. Young rider, and up and coming Grand Prix star, Tina Di Landri did not let her nerves get to her but rather kept a sense of calm going into the ring. “I knew I’d have the upper hand riding last in both rounds and watching everyone else go before me.” Tina shared. “The course was great though. It wasn’t super technical, but the time allowed was tight so there was no room for error. We needed to cut some corners to avoid time faults.” Di Landri and the 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse Avargo have been riding as a team for two years, and began
The Ladera Ranch News
Tina Di Landri and Avargo ride a gutsy jump-off course to take the win of the $30,000 Blenheim
competing at the Grand Prix level only last summer. Going into the jump-off, “it was all about turning and having momentum,” noted Di Landri. “After watching how slick Hap (Hansen) moved around the course and how intense Josephina (Lantzman) went, I knew coming in I had to be quick and shave off as much time around turns as possible. I was very happy with him (Avargo)”. Di Landri was able to ride a flawless course stopping the clock at a remarkable 34.120, over a second faster and good enough for 1st. “I couldn’t be happier,” Allen smiled, “there’s nothing a course designer could be happier with then to have the final rider win it all.” While everyone holds their breathe for Hap Hansen
to clinch that 100th victory, “we’ll all just enjoy riding along with him until that day happens. It’s wonderful to see Hap (Hansen) riding so well and I hope that the two young ones (Josephina Lantsman and Tina Di Landri) are riding just as well at his age.” The competition continues next week in sunny San Juan Capistrano with Saturday’s $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby and Sunday’s $30,000 June Classic Grand Prix, presented by Royal Champion. Both competitions will be held on the International Grass Grand Prix Field. Check the Blenheim EquiSports website for up-to-date event information

eric church brings blood, sweat and tears He’s sold out over 25 dates on his inaugural arena headlining tour, but Eric Church’s The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour isn’t over yet! Special guests Justin Moore and Kip Moore will join Church for the upcoming portion of the tour, including a November 8 stop at Honda Center. Tickets for the Anaheim show will go on sale this Friday, June 15 at 10:00 AM at ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster retail locations or by calling (800) 7453000. Tickets will be available at the Honda Center box office beginning Saturday, June 16 at 10:00 AM. Eric Church’s third single, “Springsteen,” from critically-acclaimed record, CHIEF, recently topped the charts at No. 1. His prior single, “Drink In My Hand,” marked his first career No. 1 record; both songs were co-writes for Church. In addition, “Springsteen” also celebrates over one million in sales this week, officially reaching RIAA Platinum certification as his debut album, Sinners Like Me, reaches Gold status selling over 500,000 copies worldwide. In April, Eric Church: The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour was named No. 11 on Pollstar’s 2012 Worldwide Ticket Sales Chart for the first quarter, confirming the tour was one of the
highest-attended across all genres of music from January through March. Not only has The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour received huge response from fans, but it has also been met with praise by many outlets including The Boston Globe who wrote, “With his vivid songs, frenetic performances, and outsider allure, Church is a refreshing figure on the country scene.” The Reading Eagle added, “It’s been said a transcendent concert can resemble a religious experience, but this took it to a new level… the 34-year-old frequently exploded from the mic stand, arms pounding his chest, screaming at the crowd to boost an energy level that pyrotechnics and explosions had already elevated… the energy roared.” Moreover, Church has tied The Blood Sweat & Beers Tour to a cause that will help those in need. Teaming up with Tickets-For-Charity.com, he is giving fans the opportunity to donate part of their purchase price to their favorite charity, and his partnering cause, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and its mission to find a cure for diabetes.

LOCAL DENTIST MICHAEL TESSIER REVEALS SECRET WAYS TO SAVING YOUR TEETH Each one of your teeth is anchored in a socket in the bone. Each tooth is suspended or anchored in its own socket by ligaments. The gum tissue attaches to the tooth at the top of the socket. If one gets food or plaque stuck between or around the teeth, the gums can become sore and inflamed, bleeding by just the touch of a toothbrush. Just like getting a sliver stuck underneath a fingernail. This inflammation can cause that attachment of the gums to the tooth to deteriorate. This deterioration starts at the gum-line, in the form of a pocket. As that pocket deepens, it will extend into and erode the bone. Eventually, the boney support for the tooth will be gone, and the tooth will fall out. When we dentists or dental hygienists discover this condition, we can perform what is called a laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) to reattach gums to the tooth. This laser kills the bacteria that exists in the bone, allowing the bone to regenerate. It also creates access for the hygienist to deep clean those pockets, scraping the calculus off the sides of the tooth way below the gum-line. Sometimes we place an antibiotic deep into that pocket, furthering eradication of bacteria. The procedure allows the gum tissue to reattach to the tooth. Before the development of our new laser, the periodontal treatment was painful or uncomfortable, involving scalpels, scraping the gums off the underlying . Our new laser technique is much less invasive, and your recovery is now almost totally painless (hard-to-believe, but true). While many of my patients call me the pain-free dentist, I’m happy to be of help in helping you to save your precious teeth and at the same time making your dental experience a comfortable one.

What if someone told you there was a way to contribute to world peace and expose your family to a new culture without ever leaving your home? Does this sound too good to be true? Each year, Academic Year in America (AYA) offers this opportunity to American families. In 2011, AYA will bring almost 1,000 students age 15 to 181/2 to the United States. With AYA’s tailored matching system, families have the unique opportunity to find a student who will be the perfect fit for their household. Students come from more than 30 countries, such as Germany, Brazil, France, Italy and South Africa and have a multitude of diverse talents and interests. There are several key elements to the hosting experience. For five or 10 months, host families provide their student with two meals a day and a
place to sleep and study. Most importantly, they welcome their student into their home as if they were a son or daughter. Students have their own spending money and health insurance. To help facilitate the exchange experiene, host families receive assistance from a AYA Local Coordinator. Bringing an international student into your home is an excellent way to give your family a “world view” of a different culture, according to host dad Tim McMahon, whose family has hosted five AYA students. “The result is that my children have made friends and traveled around the globe,” McMahon said. “My children have visited several of our students on their own and have made extremely close and personal friendships. In fact, our entire family has visited the families of two of our exchange students and
developed close friendships between the families.” AYA is a not-for-profit organization designated by the U.S. Department of State to offer J-1 visas to international students. AYA is sponsored by the American Institute for Foreign Study Foundation, which was founded with the assistance of the late Robert F. Kennedy. AYA has offered more than 30,000 students and host families the rewarding experience of learning about another culture and language and making a new lifelong friend.

Fashion Show Rave brings in $68k for Friends of Dorothy Guild More than $68,000 was raised at this year’s Friends of Dorothy Guild 5th annual Spring on the Runway Fashion Show Rave that supports AIDS Services Foundation Orange County. The splashy fundraiser, chaired by The Friends of Dorothy Guild founder Barbara Venezia, was held at a warehouse owned by Susie and Kevin Coleman that backs up to the runways of John Wayne Airport used for private aircraft (thus the name of the event). The proceeds brings ‘the Dorothys’ contributions to more than $677,000 for the non profit. Folks were treated to a smorgasbord of dining options from The Meat House, Tommy’s Burgers, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Sundried Tomato, Diva Cakes, and a salad bar created by Dorothy Guild committee member Carolyn Stoaks. Barefoot Wine and Bubbly once again hosted its wine tasting bar. Designers and manufacturers from San Francisco, Los Angeles and Orange County took the spotlight on the 70-foot runway. The sold-out crowd of 500, which was the largest so far in the history of the event, cheered one-of-a-kind gowns by LA Designer Clay Sadler; casual menswear from Margaritaville Apparel, also from Los Angeles; ladies spring /resort wear by Costa Mesa’s Tulum Island Boutique; custom tailored menswear by Rod Alan , also of Costa Mesa; leather from San Francisco-based West Coast Leather and the OC’s own Dark 8 Leather. The signature of any Dorothy fashion show is the men’s underwear finale – always a crowd pleaser. Underwear was provided by LA’s Freedom Reigns. This year, even the female models wore the men’s underwear accessorized with red Dorothy Guild t-shirts and sporting bra-shaped bags from DOCE XII. The men, well, they just wore the underwear, oh la la! A treasure of exciting items were snatched up by eager guests in the silent auction, and the raffle included Angels Baseball tickets, Dom Perignon, a baseball cap autographed by Elton John and a leather jacket by Dark 8 Leather. The surprise auctioneer was Dave Hester, star of the hit A&E series Storage Wars. “I knew Dave was going to be at the event but I didn’t know he was going to be so generous as to throw in a special auction package for a lucky person to spend the day on the set of Storage War. He’s a good friend and a great guy”, said Venezia. Afterwards, the crowd and the models rocked to sounds of DJ Golden Mike. In attendance were many special guests and One of the Models struts her stuff u n d e rw r i t e r s : Ma r k E s k a n d e r, at the Friends of Dorothy Guild family members representing the 5th Annual Spring on the Runway Crean Family Foundation, Howard Fashion Show Rave Gleicher and Damon Chen, Tom Page 8

IN PAIN? NEED TO SEE A DENTIST NOW? TWO NEARBY LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU COACH of the month
SAME DAY APPOINTMENTS! IMMEDIATE RELIEF!
Athlete’s Choice is pleased to announce our Coach of the Month, Robert DeVault I’ve lived in California all my life. I grew up in Northern, CA. so I’m a big fan of the San Francisco Giants and 49er’s. We moved to Rancho Santa Margarita 14 years ago. It’s a great place to live! Awesome families and friends. My beautiful wife Mary and I have been blessed with four wonderful kids, Desmond 21, Sage 16, Eve 12, and Duke 6. I started coaching 20 years ago in all different sports. My first coaching experience was with my younger brother. I coached his 15 year old baseball team. Coaching at that level right out of the gate was by far my biggest challenge. Although it was tough my brother and I became closer from the experience. Since then I have coached several years in Little League Baseball and Pop Warner Football. It sounds like a cliché but I love coaching sports because of the players. Each season it’s like being part of a family. You grow together, learn together, laugh together, cry together, and love together. During the process you compete with yourselves and others to be better at the sport you enjoy. The greatest part of coaching is the help you receive from volunteers during the process. I have had wonderful assistant coaches, parent volunteers, and friends who have helped me not make a mess of things for many years. I thank them for their time, energy, and encouragement. Outside of coaching I spend time hanging out with my family, golfing , and having fun with friends. Also I volunteer as a board member for Tesoro High School Lacrosse and Santa Margarita Pop Warner Football. I want to thank Kevin and Maria Hickman at Athletes Choice for this honor and also for opening their business in Ranch Santa Margarita. Peace.

mission viejo’s Omar Romero rides in bike trek to celebrate a year of health A year ago, Omar Romero, 20, lay in a UCLA Medical Center hospital bed clinging to life as he waited for the bone marrow donated by his 14-yearold sister to create new blood cells. Romero had been diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia, a condition in which the bone marrow stops functioning and does not produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The transplant would hopefully rebuild his bone marrow and cure his disease. It was during this bleak time of feeling incredibly weak he got the idea that after he recovered, he would celebrate one year of being healthy by riding 80 miles from his house in Mission Viejo back to the hospital in Westwood. On Saturday, June 16, Romero’s 22nd birthday and the one year anniversary of being discharged from the hospital, he and a group of family and friends will make that trek. His physician, Dr. Ronald Paquette, professor of hematology and oncology at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, will join him for the second half of the ride. Romero’s father will follow along in the car with water and bike repair equipment. Otherwise healthy, Omar’s illness came on suddenly. He was sick for over a month and it came and went. Then, he received a bruise at a concert and tiny round spots called petechiae surfaced on his skin as a result of bleeding underneath the skin. He was admitted to a local hospital on March 31, 2011, and then transferred ten days later to UCLA where doctors determined that

he needed a bone marrow transplant. Luckily, Romero’s younger sister was a match and he received the bone marrow transplant on May 2nd. Blood and platelets to were needed throughout the entire stay. Finally, he was released from the hospital on June 17. Today, he is cured and physically able to make the 80 mile bike journey. Romero hopes to inspire other bone marrow transplant patients, or any patients who have overcome a life-threatening illness, to do something ambitious to celebrate their milestones. He also wants to generate public awareness about aplastic anemia and encourage people to donate bone marrow, blood and platelets. Following the bike ride, the group is hoping to hold a concert with punk/indie rock music bands at a venue located on the UCLA campus at 7:30 PM and donations will be accepted to help raise funds to cover Romero’s medical bills. “I would like a lot of people to join this. You don’t have to ride all 80 miles with me! You can ride ten if you want. I would just like your support and company,” said Romero on the event’s Facebook page. The ride will begin around 8 or 9 A.M. and will travel through Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Irvine,

Diocese of Orange Appoints Fr. Christopher H. Smith To Oversee Christ Cathedral Transition Fr. Christopher H. Smith has been selected by the Most Reverend Tod D. Brown, Bishop of Orange, to serve as Episcopal Vicar to Christ Cathedral. Fr. Smith’s appointment marks the first formal staff assignment for the newly named Catholic cathedral. Fr. Smith will oversee all administrative and policy matters for the Cathedral and its adjacent campus. He will supervise a variety of internal departments and be responsible for the liturgical and clerical oversight for the new Catholic campus. Fr. Smith’s responsibilities will include managing renovations needed to transform the cathedral site to a Catholic place of worship. His position is effective July 2, 2012. “While I consider it a tremendous grace that our Diocese was able to acquire this wonderful facility, the transition to making it our own will take a tremendous amount of effort and talent. I discerned that the diocese needed someone to head the transition effort fulltime and I knew that it needed to be one of our most talented and accomplished priests. I am pleased to announce that Fr. Christopher H. Smith has accepted this vital responsibility,” said Bishop Brown. Fr. Smith is a distinguished member of the Diocesan staff. He already serves as the Episcopal Vicar for Priests and Page 16
Director of the Ministry to Priests Office. In these important capacities Fr. Smith serves as the Bishop’s liaison and counselor to all diocesan priests. He has led the Bishop’s campaign to integrate new and innovative clerical leadership and training for priests – a program that is now emulated by other dioceses and seminaries. “My immediate concern in making this appointment was the possible effect on Fr. Smith’s many ongoing initiatives. He assured me this should not be a concern and that he is encouraged by the challenge we face as a diocese in making the cathedral our own,” Bishop continued. Fr. Smith has witnessed first-hand the vitality and cultural growth enjoyed by the region and in particular the Diocese of Orange. “I can recall the change in the Orange skyline when the Crystal Cathedral was created. I never imagined that someday this magnificent structure would be part of our diocese and would eventually serve as the primary Catholic Church for the region. I, like many others, was overwhelmed when I learned of the acquisition and shocked when Bishop invited me to join him in this critical phase,” said Smith. Father Christopher H. Smith has served as a priest of the Roman Catholic

Add More Fire to the Grill Summer provides the perfect excuse to dust off the grill and add some sparks to a traditional backyard BBQ menu. This year, celebrate the best of the season with friends and family by serving up some classic grill-friendly dishes with a zesty twist. Summertime Menu Planning Here are a few dishes that will add a flavorful kick to any table spread: No BBQ party menu is complete without a summer potato salad dish. Mix up a dish with red potatoes, green beans, olive oil, lemon juice, mustard and cheeses. Spice up this American classic with a few dashes of chipotle pepper sauce. When it comes to summer fare, baked beans are a must. Add some extra flavor to your regular baked bean dish this year by adding bacon, onion and chipotle pepper sauce. While baked beans may be a standard summertime dish, the combination of sweet and smoky with the added kick of pepper sauce is anything but average. To add some more flavor to your table, be sure to serve sliders with chipotle ketchup. These bitesized burgers boast bold flavors of grilled ground beef, chopped scallions and Tabasco brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce. With each serving smothered in Colby Jack cheese and topped with smoky chipotle ketchup sauce, these sliders are a sure-fire way to spice up any grill master’s menu. For dessert, consider grilling some seasonal fruits. Toss some slices of pineapple, peaches, apples or even mangos on the grill, then serve over ice cream for a refreshing finishing touch to the meal. For more seasonal recipes with a kick, visit www. TABASCO.com.
Sliders with Chipotle Ketchup Makes: 4 servings Chipotle Ketchup: 1/2 cup ketchup 1 tablespoon Tabasco brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce Sliders: 1 pound ground beef 1/4 cup chopped scallions 3 tablespoons Tabasco brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 8 small rolls, about 2-inches round 2 slices Colby Jack cheese Green leaf lettuce In small bowl, combine ketchup and pepper sauce; set aside.

To serve, cut each roll horizontally in half. Place Grill burgers about 5 minutes, or to desired doleaf lettuce and cooked burger on roll. Serve with neness, turning once. Cut each cheese slice into chipotle ketchup. 4 pieces. Top burgers with cheese; cook 1 minute
the history of the orange county fair
Shortly after Orange County was created in 1889, the Orange County Community Fair Corporation was formed. This group put on a small fair in 1890 that included a horse race and a few exhibits in Santa Ana. In 1894, another group, the Orange County Fair Association, Inc., took over The first Orange County Fairs were primarily livestock exhibitions and horse races. At the turn of the century, a “carnival of products” was added and the Fair became an annual event. In ensuing years, the Fair was held in Santa Ana, but after World War I it was moved to Huntington Beach for two years and then back to temporary grounds on East Fruit Street in Santa Ana. In 1916, the Fair was taken over by the newly organized Orange County Farm Bureau. The first OC Fair Board was elected in 1925 and the Fair rePage 18

then purchased land occupied by the Santa Ana Army Air Base and some of it was earmarked for a new fairground. The Fair was first held at the new site in 1949 and it soon was designated as the permanent Fairgrounds. In 1953, the City of Costa Mesa was incorporated - the new
city included the Fair’s location. From 1949 to the present, the OC Fair has grown from a small, community, fiveday celebration to a 23-day festival that is one of Orange County’s most eagerly awaited annual events.
