...and they will someday makea difference of their own.

Gardening teaches kids where food comes from, healthy eating and raises their environmental consciousness.

A great way to get kids started in the garden is the National Bonnie Plants Third Grade Cabbage Program, it’s free to any third grade classroom in the country and teachers can register NOW at http://bonniecabbageprogram.com/

In 2002, Bonnie Plants initiated the 3rd Grade Cabbage Program with a mission to inspire a love of vegetable gardening in young people. Each year, Bonnie trucks more than one million free O.S. Cross cabbage plants to 3rd Grade classrooms across the country. (O.S. stands for oversized… these cab-bages can grow upwards of 40 pounds making the initiative engaging and fun for kids)!

Teaches distribute 2” plants with instructions, provided by Bonnie, to students to carry home and grow. At the end of the growing season, teach-ers select a class winner, based on size, appearance and maturity and that submission is entered in a state scholarship drawing. The state winners are randomly selected by each state’s Director of Agriculture, and Bonnie Plants awards a $1,000 scholarship for education to one student in each state.

As one of the first companies to sponsor a national vegetable gardening initiative for kids, Bonnie Plants has de-livered over 11 million cabbage plants, nationwide, in the past 10 years, foster-ing an interest in gardening, healthy eating, and the environment.

“The Bonnie Plants Cabbage Pro-gram is a wonderful way to engage children’s interest in agriculture, while teaching them not only the basics of gardening, but the importance of our food systems and growing our own”, said Stan Cope, President of Bonnie Plants. This unique, innovative pro-gram exposes children to agriculture and demonstrates, through hands-on experience, where food comes from.

The program also affords our youth with some valuable life lessons in nurture, nature, responsibility, self-confidence and accomplishment”.

Why a cabbage? Cabbages were the first plant sold by Bonnie in 1918. The cabbages used for the 3rd grade program are OS Cross (Over-sized), which is known for producing giant, oversized heads, making the process even more exciting for kids. The biggest cabbage grown in the contest weighed in at 65 pounds!

Molly rinGwald to appear at Mission Viejo readers’ FestiVal

She’s often called “the greatest teen star of all time” but these days actress Molly Ringwald is known as a bestsell-ing author who is as passionate about writing as she is about the roles that made her famous.

Ringwald will ap-pear at the Mission Viejo Readers’ Fes-tival Oct. 14 to discuss her latest book “When It Happens to You.” In this collection of linked stories, Ringwald follows a Los Angeles family and their friends and neighbors as they negotiate the hazardous terrain of everyday life – revealing the deceptions, heartbreak, and vulnerability familiar to us all.

Countless fans also know Ringwald for her iconic ‘80s movie roles in “16 Candles,” “The Breakfast Club,” and “Pretty in Pink.” Later, she starred in films such as “For Keeps?” and “The Pick-Up Artist.” In the last 15 years, Ringwald has appeared on various TV shows, in film and on the stage. Right now, she is on ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.”

She will join several celebrity and bestselling authors at the Mission Viejo Readers’ Festival including Jim Abbott, Marcia Clark, David Shannon, Steven Raichlen, T. Jefferson Parker and others.

The fun-filled festival will feature a host of activities, music and fabulous fare from 12 to 6 p.m. at the Oso Viejo Park and Norman P. Murray Com-munity and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way. The free festival, which will celebrate the Middle Ages in an outdoor setting, is sponsored by the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library.

Global Genes | R.A.R.E. Project (www.globalgenes.org) today an-nounced that recording artist and “American Idol” season 5 finalist Elliott Yamin, will share the stage with Gracie Van Brunt, a young girl battling a rare genetic disease called Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome, when they duet together at the ‘RARE Tribute to Cham-pions of Hope’ benefit on September 27, 2012, at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort in Newport Beach, CA.

“Gracie, and the millions of other children battling little known rare and genetic diseases, are true heroes of mine,” said Elliott Yamin. “I am honored and humbled to sing with Gracie and inspired each day by her bravery and tenacity.”

Gracie will also perform a special song of hope that she wrote, which chronicles her journey as a Shwach-man-Diamond Syndrome patient. The rare congenital disease affects the bone marrow, pancreas and skeleton and patients are at risk for experiencing serious and sometimes fatal infections, as well as leukemia, osteoporosis and diabetes.

Guests will also enjoy special musical performances by Universal Republic/Faircraft Records recording artist Chris Mann and singer-songwriter Katrina Parker, both fan favorites and stars of the second season of the NBC hit television show “The Voice.”

In addition to musical performances by Elliott Yamin, Gracie Van Brunt, Chris Mann and Katrina Parker, “Grey’s Anatomy” star Jason George will join actors Nestor Serrano (Act of Valor, The Negotiator, The Insider, Secre-tariat) and Meagan Tandy (Jane By Design, 90210, CSI: NY, Dark Blue)

to introduce some of the evening’s distinguished honorees including Henri Termeer, Former President and CEO of Genzyme. Mr. Termeer will receive a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his groundbreaking work in developing innovative drugs for rare diseases.

To purchase tickets to the “RARE Trib-ute to Champions of Hope” benefit visit: http://globalgenes.org/2012Tribute. In-terviews are available before the event and onsite at the event with Global Genes | R.A.R.E. Project executives, parent advocates, celebrity hosts and performers.

Global Genes | R.A.R.E. Project is the leading non-profit organization advocating for the roughly 30 million Americans and approximately 350 million people worldwide who are af-

fected by rare and genetic diseases and disorders. The non-profit organi-zation promotes the needs of the rare and genetic disease community under a unifying symbol of hope – the Blue Denim Genes Ribbon™. In the United States, a disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than 200,000 Americans per disease. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), there are nearly 7,000 such rare diseases and an estimated 95% do not have a single approved drug treatment.

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.

Chase is a neutered male German Shepard mix who was rescued on his last days at an overcrowded animal shelter and brought to the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center to find a new home.

Unfortunately, that has not happened yet. At only a year of age, Chase is full of vim and vigor. He would do well with an active person or family seeking a running partner or hiking companion. He likes other dogs but gets extremely excited when meeting them, so dogs of similar size and activity level would be ideal. He might be too overwhelming for small children but would love to spend time running around with older kids. Chase is a good dog who just needs some training and direction to learn how to behave in a polite society. To get him started, Chase comes with a training package paid for by Dedicated Animal Welfare Group (DAWG).

So drop by the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center and meet Chase today.The Mission Viejo Animal Services Center is at 28095 Hillcrest. For more

With its annual gala fundraiser less than three weeks away, HomeAid Or-ange County has announced the win-ning entries in its 21st annual Project Playhouse, a unique and cherished event that delights children and adults while providing crucial assistance to the county’s growing population of homeless women, men and children.

The winning playhouses, an-nounced at a V.I.P. party Sept. 13 at South Coast Plaza’s Jewel Court, will be auctioned off at HomeAid’s signa-ture fundraising event at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach on Oct. 5. The theme of this year’s fundraiser is “Doorways for Hope.”

The Grand Award – Best in Show award went to “Victorian Surprise” by William Lyon Homes, whose creation also won in three other categories: The Craftsman Award – Best Crafts-manship, The Designer Award – Best Interior Design, and The Kermit Dorius Award – Best Architectural Design.

The Grand Award – Runner-up was awarded to Shea Homes for “A TradePartners® Christmas Story, which also won The Imagination Award – Most Imagination.

Team HomeAid was honored with The Secret Garden Award – Best Landscape for “The Queen’s Garden Cottage,” while the Roger Seitz Me-morial Award – Best Modern Design went to “Surfer Shack” by BIA/OC Next Gen Group.

“We congratulate all the winners and thank them for their amazing creativity and devotion to a cause that should be close to every Orange County resident,” said Scott Larson, executive director of HomeAid Or-ange County, based in Irvine. “These playhouses are a tangible symbol of compassionate efforts to help the homeless restore dignity and regain

financial independence.” Project Playhouse is the center-

piece of HomeAid Orange County’s ongoing commitment to helping the homeless. Since it began in 1992, the annual event has raised more than $6.3 million to help the 23-year-old non-profit organization complete 49 housing developments, which were gifted to 25 service providers who provide aid and shelter to homeless men, women and children.

Major sponsors of this year’s Proj-ect Playhouse, in which homebuild-ers, trades, architects and designers have donated their talents and re-sources to design and build whimsical creations, include Bank of America, PCV Murcor, Province Group/New-port Equities LLC and the Russ and Kathy Van Cleve Foundation. Ho-meAid is also pleased to announce Auction.com as a first time sponsor as well as the provider of live, online playhouse bidding. For more informa-tion about how to bid live online visit projectplayhouse.org.

For the first time in the history of the event, the beautiful playhouses are on display during the Festival of Children® at South Coast Plaza from Sept. 1 to Sept. 30, outside Macy’s valet and in Jewel Court. Visitors are able to peer through the doors and windows of the playhouses from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Interested parties who wish to bid on a playhouse can arrange a private tour by contacting HomeAid at 949-553-9510.

In another first for the 2012 version of Project Playhouse, global pop icon Hello Kitty was on hand Aug. 30 to greet the arrival of four playhouses at South Coast Plaza. Hello Kitty, the creation of global lifestyle brand Sanrio, once again will visit the des-tination retail center for an autograph

signing on Saturday, Sept. 22 from noon to 4 p.m. in Jewel Court.

The month-long display of the playhouses is being held in conjunc-tion with the 11th annual Festival of Children at South Coast Plaza. Sponsored by the national Fes-tival of Children Foundation, the celebration features free weekend activities, celebrity appearances, live performances and more than 75 charities that serve children. Festival of Children Foundation was founded in 2002 with the mission of improving children’s lives by strengthening the charities that serve them. September is National Child Awareness Month.

For all ticket and auction bidder information for the fundraising gala on Oct. 5 and information about how you can bid live online please visit projectplayhouse.org.

roManCe oF the Mission sizzles with phantoM star daVis Gaines

perForManCeThe Romance of the Mission benefit gala hosted by Mission San Juan

Capistrano featured a spectacular concert by acclaimed actor/singer Davis Gaines and honored San Juan Capistrano residents Jan and the Honorable H. Warren Siegel.

During probably one of the hottest nights ever in September, folks came out in their best black tie gala wear; men wearing tuxes and the women in beautiful ball gowns.

The evening started in the Mission Gardens sipping champagne and nib-bling on exquisite appetizers, and then everyone was called to the Great Stone Church for the concert.

With hues of lighting on the stone, the walls were lit up as if one was seated in a romantic concert hall with the rounded entrance shaped somewhat like the Hollywood Bowl. Gaines, who performed the title role in The Phantom of the Opera more than 2,000 times, told the men to go ahead and take their coats off and get comfortable in the heat. He sang a variety of songs, all in the name of romance, to go along with the theme. Such songs as My Romance, Tea for Two, When You Wish Upon a Star and Over the Rainbow were very enjoyable with Gaines being the ultimate performer. Closing out his performance, he ended the evening with two Phantom favorites – All I ask of You and Music of the Night and then the traditional When the Swallows Return to Capistrano.

As the bells of the towers began to ring, folks were directed to the Central Courtyard where tables and chairs were elegantly draped with colors of gold and cream. Tall wooden branches where the fixed center piece decoration with a variety of succulent plants garnishing the branches and an abundance of hanging candles made the romance continue.

The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel provided the four course dinner that started with Ricotta Stuffed Gnocchi, Sun-dried tomatoes with Goat Cheese Pesto Cream Sauce then, Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio with Local Field Green Salad with Shallot and Herb Vinaigrette. The dinner entrée consisted of an amaz-ing Slow Braised Short Ribs and Smoked Paprika Dusted Prawn served with Manchego cheese Soft Polenta in a Tempranillo Wine Braising Jus. Dessert was amazing with Spanish Chocolate and Caramel Tart with Sal de Mar and Candied Marcona Almonds.

Mission San Juan Capistrano Executive Director Mechelle Lawrence-Adams welcomed attendees along with Mission Preservation Board President George O’Connell saying, “As a product of the collective efforts and ingenious spirits of the past, we gather this evening to celebrate the past, to remember the meaning of this place, and make sure that the Mission matters in new and previously unimaginable ways to people living today.”

Honorary Chairs Jan and the Honorable H. Warren Siegel are longtime San Juan residents and have been generous and committed supporters of the Mission for many years. San Juan Capistrano businessman Bill Ortega was recognized for his significant commitment to running the Mission’s gift store over the years and a special award was given to Ritz-Carlton Executive Chef Andres Jimenez for creating truly unique, extraordinary menus exclusively for this event.

The evening did not have a silent auction or live auction; however donations were secured by generous sponsors of the evening. There was an opportunity drawing where only 100 tickets were sold for $100 each. Traditional Jewelers in Newport Beach donated a beautiful 18k yellow gold filigree cross pendant featuring four colored heart shaped diamonds with one princess cut diamond in the center with frame of white diamonds; Jim Petersen was the lucky winner.

Net proceeds for the evening are estimated at just under $200,000 with additional $100,000 anonymous pledge will be made if that amount can be matched towards the project’s $3.3 million budget within 60 days.

Gala proceeds will help fund the Gate House Preservation Project which ultimately relocates the Mis-sion’s museum store to the street and returns the historic Sala building to museum use. Completion of the new Gate House is projected for March 2013.

Known as the “Jewel of the Mis-sions,” Mission San Juan Capistrano is a historic landmark and museum that boasts of quality permanent exhibits featuring original artifacts as well as traveling and temporary exhibits on a wide variety of topics. The Mission

receives no funding from either the Church or the State of California and must charge admission funds as a means of providing continued public access. For more information visit: www.missionsjc.com.

The Blenheim Indoor Arena was bursting at its seams this evening during the $50,000 Blenheim World Cup Grand Prix, presented by Summit General In-surance Agency. Spectators filed in by the bus loads and with standing room only, equestrian fans of all ages got to witness the veteran rider Rusty Stewart and his incredible 10-year-old mount Bristol ride a perfect round and win his second consecutive World Cup Qualifier Grand Prix. The pair has been on a roll all season but it takes the perfect pair to stay on their game and post back-to-back World Cup Qualifier victories. Stewart proved his mount was credible just two weeks ago in Del Mar when they posted the only double clear effort in the $50,000 Showpark World Cup Grand Prix. Stew-art knew Bristol was just as good indoors and could without question perform just as well. Stewart was right on the money.

Local and state wide equestrian enthusiasts chomped at the bit when offered the limited opportunity to walk an FEI level indoor World Cup Grand Prix course with the two-time Olympian and the soon-to-be U.S Olympic Show Jumping coach, Robert Ridland. To kick off the evening’s main event, Ridland escorted members of local Pony Clubs, College Equestrian Teams, Big Brother & Sisters of Orange County and many more through a jump-by-jump course description and what to expect during the night’s competition. The large jumps did little to intimidate one special fan who got a one on one chance to walk a part of the Grand Prix course with Ridland himself. Once the sun set, the competition was underway.

“I said it would be big,” course design-er Guilherme Jorge confirmed before the class got underway, “but that’s the point. It’s a World Cup Qualifier.” Riders were asked to pilot their horses through a very technical course that included a 1.55M vertical-vertical combination, a 1.60M wall, and a very wide triple bar and only 82 seconds to clear it in. The nail biter was the triple combination that had rid-ers set up for an oxer with two strides to another oxer then quickly adjust in one stride to a vertical. The crowd cheered ecstatically for each rider that was able to make it through the combination without fault.

Nicole Shahinian-Simpson and her young stallion Imothep were the first pair to clear all thirteen obstacles, but with caution comes time faults. Shahinian-Simpson set the standard with one time fault in 84.48 seconds. Nineteen year old Lucy Davis and her thirteen-year-old Hol-steiner Nemo 119 had one unfortunate rail early in the course but kicked it into gear and cleared every other obstacle with ease in 78.59 seconds for second

place at that point of the competition.Four rounds to go in the $50,000

Blenheim World Cup Grand Prix, crowd favorite Rusty Stewart and the almighty Bristol trotted into the arena with sure confidence. “After walking the course, I knew it was going to be a tough course, but the time allowed was the biggest worry.” Stewart piloted his ten-year-old gelding through one obstacle at a time, setting him up for a solid approach elimi-nating the risk of knocking a rail. Stewart had one scary rub on an awkwardly angled vertical by the in gate but was able to recover and stop the clock for a clear round in 78.11 seconds, moving into first place. “It was a really big track,” Stewart confirmed, “but it was a track that you had to have your game on from beginning to end in order to get through it. I could not do this without Bristol. He is so amazing”.

No other team could surpass Stewart resulting in no jump-off and Stewart’s second consecutive World Cup Qualifier and HITS Millions Grand Prix Qualifier victories. “Rusty (Stewart) is on a roll,” course designer Jorge smiled, “it was a great class and a great show. The whole idea was to keep it to the FEI standard. It was a legitimate World Cup Qualifier course and clearly the best man won.”

Rusty Stewart and Kandi Stewart own and run the breeding and training operation at Grey Fox Farm. Bristol, the 10-year-old bay gelding, was the Stew-art’s first homebred colt and has clearly demonstrated what an amazing program they have created.

By David WhiteOne of the hottest winemakers in

France is Jerome Bressy, the proprietor of Domaine Gourt de Mautens the Southern Rhone village of Rasteau.

Over the past decade, he’s devel-oped quite a reputation. American wine critic Robert Parker has called his winery “sensational,” and France’s two leading wine commentators, Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve, have said Bressy deserves recognition as one of the Rhone’s great winemakers. This past year, Bettane and Desseauve honored Bressy for producing both the “Best White” and the “Best Rosé” in the Southern Rhone.

But next year, thanks to a recent deci-sion by French regulators, Bressy may find it difficult to market his wines.

The reason? In France, strict laws dictate winegrowing and winemaking -- and Bressy violated the rules. Even

though the basis for many of these rules make sense, Bressy’s tale helps explain why adventurous winemakers feel more welcome in America.

French wine laws trace back to 1935. At the time, globalization threatened the dominance of French wines, so lawmak-ers created a system to guarantee both quality and geographic typicity. Some laws codified tradition -- like what grapes could be grown where -- and others detailed total minutiae, like vine density.

Because of these laws, consum-ers know what to expect from French wine. Red Burgundy is Pinot Noir; white Burgundy is Chardonnay; Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc; and so on.

Jerome Bressy’s “offense” is hardly offensive.

A student of history, Bressy has spent the last few years reintroducing tradi-tional grapes to his vineyard. So today, about 23 percent of Bressy’s estate is planted with obscure grapes like Vac-carese, Counoise, Muscardin, which are interspersed with the more common Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah. By French law, these minor varieties can only comprise only 15 percent of a red wine labeled from Rasteau.

So to label his wines as the market expects, Bressy has no choice but to rip up some of his vines or alter his blend. This despite the fact that his bottlings are historically accurate -- and that France’s

wine laws were designed, in part, to codify tradition.

At worst, Bressy seems guilty of “creative eccentricity.” That’s how Vin-Connect, a U.S. company that enables consumers to order wines directly from Gourt de Mautens, has described the winemaker. But he’s hardly a revolution-ary -- Bressy’s transgression is rooted in respect for his vineyard and its history.

It’s no wonder why wine writer Alder Yarrow once criticized French regula-tors for being “ignorant, stubborn, and backwards.”

Needless to say, true revolutionaries find it difficult to make wine in France. They turn to the new world, where experi-mentation and innovation is embraced.

Consider Syrah. Today, some of California’s most exciting Syrah comes from incredibly cool climates historically associated with Pinot Noir. Producers like Wind Gap and Arnot-Roberts -- who both make their wine out of an old apple-processing facility in Sonoma County -- craft stunning Syrah from vineyards where grapes struggle to ripen.

If a winemaker in France wanted to experiment with Syrah in the cool climate of Burgundy, it’d be nearly impossible to sell his wines, as it’d be illegal to note where the grapes originated.

In the United States, winemakers aren’t limited by such strict laws. Indeed, the teams at Wind Gap and Arnot-Rob-

erts are constantly on the lookout for eso-teric grapes with potential in California’s vast and varied climate. Arnot-Roberts, for example, crafts a delicious rosé from Touriga Nacional, a Portuguese variety. Wind Gap makes a highly regarded white using Trousseau Gris, a variety that’s even rare in its ancestral home of eastern France.

Elsewhere in Sonoma, 31-year-old Morgan Twain-Peterson of Bedrock Wine Company is making distinctly American wines that would make Je-rome Bressy smile. Twain-Peterson is best known for using some of California’s oldest vines to make traditional California field blends.

In Napa Valley, a group of renegade winemakers is eschewing Cabernet Sauvignon in favor of intensely floral, crisp whites inspired by the wines of northeastern Italy. One label worth finding is Massican, whose owner, Dan Petroski, studied winemaking in Sicily. Another is Arbe Garbe, owned by an Italian named Enrico Bertoz who moved to California in 1998.

Across the United States, examples like these abound. The wine world ben-efits tremendously from these vintners -- those who innovate new wines and preserve something special. In many ways, America is home to more wine-makers like Jerome Bressy than France. That’s worth celebrating.

story and photos By: steve Wylie If the purpose of this battle last Friday was to

demonstrate that the Santa Margarita Eagles are deserving of their steadily growing reputation as the top team in Southern California, then Mission Accomplished!

While all the experts predicted a convincing Santa Margarita victory over a rebuilding Carson quad last Friday night, no one anticipated a first half onslaught that produced nine touchdowns and a total of 65 points from the Eagles. When it was over, the Santa Margarita Eagles posted their largest margin of victory ever with a 72-0 shellack-ing of the Carson Colts at Saddleback College. The Eagles, coming off a 55-0 victory over Trabuco Hills the previous week, have put up 127 points and given up none in their last two games, and have outscored their op-ponents 189-20 in the preseason thus far. Had this been a boxing match, the bout would have been stopped in the first round. Santa Mar-garita scored on every possession in the first half.

Quarterback Johnny Stanton initiated the scoring on the Eagles’ opening drive with a nine yard run to the end zone. A two-play drive on the Eagles’ next possession was capped by an athletic touchdown by wide receiver River Cracraft, followed shortly thereafter by the a nine yard blast by Ryan Wolpin. It would be the first of six rushing touchdowns, setting a new school record by the senior back. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led 21-0. Another Stanton scoring strike to Cracraft from 21 yards out at the beginning of the second quarter set

the stage for a 44-point scoring binge. Three consecutive rushing touchdowns by Wolpin on carries of 4, 11, and 9 yards gave the Eagles a 49 point lead with just over five min-utes left in the first half. Overmatched and outgunned from the be-ginning, by this point the Colts simply couldn’t pull it together. The second errant snap by the Colts’ long snapper sailed over the punter’s head and out of the end zone for an Eagle safety. Carson’s ensuing kick to the Eagles was returned by RJ Mazolewski 62 yards for a touchdown. The next Eagle possession took one play, as Wolpin scored his fifth rushing touchdown from 35 yards out, making the score at halftime 65-0. Where is the Humane Society when you need them? Mercifully, the teams agreed that the second half would be played under a running clock. That didn’t stop Wolpin from getting his sixth rushing touchdown of the night on a 50-yard rambling tour of the Carson secondary, on the Eagles’ first play. Mercifully, at 8:29 into the third quarter, the assault on the Carson end zone ended at 72-0. Stymied all night by an aggressive Santa Margar-

ita defense and their own mistakes, Carson man-aged just 123 yards total offense and two forays into Eagle territory. The last one, late in the fourth quarter, drove deep into the Eagle red zone, but the stalwart Eagle goal line defense repelled the attack.
