what is happening in OCTOBER AT MUZEO
Deconstructing Liberty: A Destiny Manifested continues in the main gallery through October 15. Through performance, installation, video, and photography, these artists present concepts of the importance of American liberty and some may challenge ideas traditionally associated with these liberties as they resonate in forms of collective identity across the globe. This exhibit is part of The Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles. Tickets can be purchased at www.muzeo.org/tickets. Anaheim Art Association’s 54th Annual Juried Exhibition is open in the Carnegie gallery with free admission through October 29.

The Lunch and Learn series continues on Wednesday, October 11 at 11:30 am with a free, onehour presentation by Linh Tran on Human Trafficking by Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force. Find out what human trafficking looks like in Orange County, and what efforts are being done to combat it using a victim-centered multidisciplinary approach. Bring your lunch, if you wish, and arrive by 11:15 am, as this
program starts promptly at 11:30 in the Carnegie Building and concludes at 12:30. RSVP at www.muzeo.org/ events. This month’s Open Book is Thursday, October 19, from 6pm to 8pm; and features author Janet Simcic.

The 10 Menswear Trends You Need to Know for Fall 2017 I t ’ s t i m e to t h i n k a bou t n e x t s e a s o n ’ s wa r d rob e By Scott Christian Though we may only just be entering the dog days of summer, the fashion calendar says fall. At least when it comes to the styles currently hitting stores and online. Which means it’s time to start thinking seriously about your fall wardrobe. After all, it’s a season of layering up, but not dressing like you’re about to run the Iditarod—i.e. it’s a season of maximizing your style. From fur collars to graphic knitwear, here are the 10 trends you should know to make sure you’re the most stylish guy in town once the leaves start to turn. Quilted Jackets No longer just for off-duty bankers and British country aristocrats, quilted jackets are going to be everywhere this fall, and in quite a few versions, too. Quilted bombers, quilted moto jackets, even quilted blazers will become a go-to for those chillier days. Fur and Shearling Collars Who doesn’t love fuzzy warmth around their neck when it’s cold out? Whether you prefer the Russian general look, or the Tom Cruise from Top Gun, there will be plenty of fur and shearling collars to choose from this season. Graphic Knitwear First we had the return of graphic T-shirts, and now, for fall 2017, we have graphic knitwear. Which makes sense. It’s hard to show off a cool graphic tee when the weather gets brisk. Wider Leg Trousers Looser tailoring has been coming back for a few seasons now and, while you don’t have to ditch your slim trousers just yet, a pair of wider cut pants
will certainly come in handy. The trick to wearing them is to go for a more slouchy, unstructured look. More Adventurous Suiting Despite what’s being whispered in some corners, the suit is not going anywhere anytime soon. But it is changing. From more adventurous colors, cuts, and patterns, to mixing it up with tees and sneakers, the classic suit is definitely expanding its horizons. Statements There has always been statement clothing, but this fall you’re going to see a lot of statements on clothing. Thank the chaotic times, or maybe just the popularity of Vetements, but clothes these days are getting pretty preachy. Oversized Proportions From tees to sweaters to hoodies to jackets, oversized proportions will be everywhere come fall. The trick to making it work is to mix an oversized piece with something more fitted. Like this oversized sweatshirt with a slim (but not skinny) pair of jeans or tailored trousers. Turtleneck Sweaters Turtleneck sweaters made a big comeback the last couple of seasons, and this fall that trend is expanding. Expect to see a lot more variations of the rollneck (that’s the English way of saying it) in knitwear this season. ‘80s And ‘90s Nostalgia Maybe it’s just because we’re longing for a simpler time, but the ‘80s and ‘90s have had an outsized influence on fashion of late. Whether it’s grunge, New Wave, classic hip-hop, or street style, prepare to see even more ‘80s and ‘90s nostalgia
this fall. Silk Shirts This past summer, shirts got a lot more adventurous with bold prints and camp collars. Expect that trend to continue into the fall with silk shirts; they’ll be especially useful when looking for ways to liven up your tailoring.

The views and opinions expressed are those of the publisher and not any organization. No reproduction, in whole or in part is permitted without the express written permission of Ladera Ranch News. Legal Advertising: The Ladera Ranch News was adjudicated by the Orange County Superior Court as a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code 6000 case #A227454 on December 30, 2004 and as such is the appropriate newspaper to place legal and public notices for the South Orange County Judicial District and the community of Ladera Ranch.
While planning a new outdoor living space can be overwhelming, chances are there’s a home improvement retailer nearby that offers an abundance of resources to help you tackle virtually any project. If a DIY deck project is on your to-do list, these tips can help you navigate the aisles like a pro. Do your homework. Get started by perusing retailer websites to learn about their product offerings and services. Then visit manufacturer websites for more information and to compare aesthetics and performance. Research your options and decide what materials and styles make the most sense for your lifestyle and preferences. For instance, if you are looking to spend more time enjoying your deck than maintaining it, you may consider a high-performance composite material, like Trex. Unlike wood, composite decking won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter, and resists fading, scratching and mold.
Take advantage of retailer resources. After you’ve decided on a preferred material, your local big-box retailer can help you obtain additional information, design ideas and product samples. To help get you on your way, lowes.trex.com can help you explore the decking and railing collections available through Lowe’s. In addition to perusing an array of decking options, you also can preview designer-curated railing pairings. Once you find a combination that suits your outdoor space, you can download the materials list to better guide your in-store experience. Explore the store. Once you have determined the direction of your project and narrowed down your product preferences, orient yourself with the store landscape so you can navigate the merchandise in an order that correlates with your project. It may be easiest to start with decking materials in the lumber aisle and then move to railings, which can typically
be found in an adjacent aisle or on an end-cap display. Pay close attention to signage and look carefully for logos to make sure you’re finding the brand you want. Ask an associate. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. The staff at your local retailer can provide tips to help you successfully navigate your project and the store. For instance, if the materials you are looking for aren’t on the shelves, many options are available via special order. Typically, an associate can arrange for the product you want to arrive in-store in about 10 days. Most stores also offer assistance with installation. When planning and building, the one-stop convenience of a big-box retailer makes it possible to construct a customized deck with confidence and without stress. Visit lowes. trex.com for more tips, tools and information on decking materials.

PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S CAFÉ LUDWIG RETURNS TO SERVE UP 2017-18 SEASON’S FIRST DELICIOUS HELPING OF CHAMBER MUSIC WITH “BEETHOVEN & SCHUBERT”
Violinist Paul Manaster Café Ludwig, Pacific Symphony’s perennially popular chamber music series, launches its 2017-18 season by asking the question: was Schubert Beethoven’s biggest fan? The incomparable pianist and host Orli Shaham—whose playing the London Guardian has called “perfection”— enters her 10th season of performing and curating the series with a tantalizing program that explores the relationship between the two musical giants, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert. Shaham’s intriguing programming always includes a thematic thread that connects the individual pieces. For this concert, the audience discovers that Schubert indeed became a passionate devotee of the older composer’s music. In fact, on his deathbed Schubert asked to be buried in a grave alongside Beethoven. In addition to Shaham, the program spotlights the talent of two exceptional Symphony musicians: violinist Paul Manaster and cellist Timothy Landauer. Audience members sip coffee or tea and sample sweet treats in a coffeehouse-style setting, while enjoying the aural beauty of Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata and Piano Trio No. 1 in B-flat Major, D. 898; plus, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109. The matinee performance of “Beethoven & Schubert” takes place Sunday, Oct. 8, at 3 p.m., in the Samueli Theater at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Season ticket packages are $189$240. Single tickets are $70 and $89. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit
www.PacificSymphony.org. “The three masterpieces on this Café Ludwig program were all composed in the 1820s in Vienna,” points out Shaham. “With this program, we get a slice of the musical discourse from nearly 200 years ago!” It is not news that the music from that single city during that era has maintained its prominence, but it is intriguing to look at some specific works in order to understand the depth of art that existed then. More specifically, it is interesting to see the two greatest masters of the era in their approaches to these intimate genres. Schubert was about 27 years younger than Beethoven, and Beethoven’s long shadow loomed large for him his entire life. As a young student, Schubert played in the violin section of the great Beethoven symphonies with his school orchestra and no doubt heard multiple premieres and early performances of Beethoven’s music. He always aspired to be a great composer himself, but clearly he was always aware of how his music related to Beethoven’s. Shaham notes: “The evidence of their meeting is unreliable, so we do not know for sure whether they interacted directly, but as they were both prominent members of a small musical community, they must have encountered each other repeatedly.” Schubert, for his part, admired Beethoven’s music enormously, and it is no accident that his greatest successes during his lifetime came in Lieder (songs), a genre that Beethoven all but dropped after Schubert came on the scene. Perhaps that says
something of Beethoven’s admiration for his younger colleague as well. “You can hear especially in the B-flat Piano Trio that Schubert was composing in the same musical language as Beethoven,” says Shaham. “In many ways, this trio follows the forms and rhetoric set up by Beethoven’s trios, though Schubert’s ability to compose rich melodies suffuses the whole. Nevertheless, even within this common language, their utterances were entirely personal. I hope that hearing the two works on the first half before this trio will help us all attune our ears to the influences of both composers in the Trio.” Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata, written for a friend who had become a virtuoso on the recently invented and soon-to-be-forgotten arpeggione (a bowed six-string instrument), is a work of great lyricism, buoyancy and Viennese charm. This sonata has become a mainstay of the cello repertoire. While it is highly virtuosic and devilishly difficult at times, it is a work that feels simple and natural to the ear. Schubert’s great ease with creating beautiful singing melodies is evident throughout, as is his sense of the dramatic and storytelling aspects of music. “Having developed such a deep musical collaboration with the great Tim Landauer over these past 10 seasons,” says Shaham, “I’m particularly looking forward to exploring with him this work of perfection.” Shaham confesses that Beethoven’s Piano Sonata, Op. 109,
one of the final three of his 32, is one that has always spoken to her. “Unlike the Arpeggione, it is not built on tunes but more on intervals, relationships between pitches and motivic ideas,” she says. “As is typical of Beethoven, the long arc of the work and the sense of drama throughout serve to tie the piece into a perfect whole.” The first two movements, one in E major, the other in E minor, seem to be relating all the emotions of humanity, from hesitant discovery to elation to desperation. The theme of the last movement, which provides the first calm, centered focal point for the listener, has always seemed to Shaham to be a perfect song distilled to its barest essence: “The Sonata is in an unusual form, pushing the boundaries (as a composer might later in life) of what the genre can hold. Its three movements are heavily weighted to the last, which is a set of variations on this rather slow, singing, apparently simple theme.” The variations take the audience through a history of the work itself, seeming to contain all of life’s joys and woes. They culminate in spectacular ringing of the piano as it reaches for the heavens, and then drop the listener finally back in the original simple song, changed forever by the experience. “I hope that this program allows us all to feel more deeply what the world of Vienna of the 1820s would have felt like, and to relish the unbroken connection of our shared humanity,” concludes Shaham.

tesoro in Thrilling Victory over Los Alamitos
Story by: Sean Lindgren Photos by: Cindy Williams After finding their way back in the win column last week, the Titans looked to carry on their success against the Los Alamitos Griffins. The game was set at Long Beach City College giving the game a more intense feel as both teams would come out of the tunnel into a collegiate stadium. Receiving the opening kickoff, the Titans would be pinned inside their own 10 yard line and would be forced to punt after a 3 and out, setting the Griffins up at the Titan 37 yard line. Good field position for Los Al would allow the Griffins to move down the field, resulting in a 2 yard score. The score would be 0-7. There would be a break in the action however as both defenses would shine causing three straight 3 and outs. On the next Griffin drive, they would fumble the ball on their own 31 yard line, turning over the ball as Junior Defensive End Garrett Clapper would recover the fumble, setting up good field position for the Titans. Not wasting any time, Senior QB Chase Petersen would throw a 9 yard touchdown to Sophomore Wide Receiver Justin Schafer, tying the game up 7-7. The Griffins would respond however as on 4th and 10 they would run a fake punt and convert the first down, leading to a 25 yard touchdown pass. After the missed extra point the score would be 7-13. Beginning inside their own 20 yard line, the Titans offense would set up shop, conducting a long drive down the field aided by a 42 yard completion on 3rd down as QB Chase Petersen would find Junior RB Cameron Lambi out of the backfield. Unable to punch it in though, the Titans would turn the ball over on downs at the Griffin 5 yard line. Dialing up another trick play the Griffins would run a double pass as the QB lateralled to the WR who would then throw it deep for a 33 yard touchdown, expanding the lead to 7-20. Not be outdone however, the Titans offense would respond as QB Chase Petersen would find Senior WR Seth Gilmore for a 22 yard touchdown, making the score 20-14. On the very next drive, the Griffins would be plagued by fumbles once again as Senior Defensive Lineman Joe Rubio would recover the fumble at the Griffin 24 yard line. Not wasting any time, QB Chase Petersen would find Senior WR John Cody for a 24 yard touchdown on the first and only play of the drive, making the score 20-20 after the missed PAT. On the last drive of the half, the Griffins would make their way into field goal range and gain 3 points on the field goal as time expired in the half making it 20-23. Los Alamitos would gain momentum right out of the gate in the second half as they would break off a 47 yard run, leading to an 11 yard score on the ground. The score would
rise to 20-30 Los Al. After back to back 3 and outs by both teams, the Griffins would receive the ball in good field position after causing an interception by the Titans. Holding strong, the Titans defense would force a turnover on downs as Senior Defensive End James Williams would sack the Griffins QB, getting the Titans offense onto the field. On 2nd and 15 after a penalty, Chase Petersen would roll to his right and connect with WR Seth Gilmore for a 50 yard gain down to the 8 yard line. On 2nd and goal, WR John Cody would get his number called again as Chase Petersen hit the Senior receiver for a 10 yard touchdown, narrowing the gap to 3 as the score would be 27-30. On the ensuing Griffin drive, Senior DE James Williams would strike again as he would sack the QB for a 6 yard loss. However, that would not stop the Griffins as they would hit on a 44 yard touchdown making the score 27-37. There would be another break in the scoring as both teams would produce a 3 and out. The break would not last long however as Chase Petersen and John Cody would find the end zone again as the duo connected on an 11 yard touchdown, making the score 34-37. The one score game would not last long however as the Griffins would return the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown making the score 34-44. Refusing to back down, the Titans would receive the kickoff and put together a drive that would be capped off on an amazing run by QB Chase Petersen as he would break tackles for a 27 yard touchdown run, making the score 41-44. Fighting to give their offense one last chance with the ball, the Titans defense would bend but not break as they would hold strong on 4th down after a series of 1st down conversions by the Griffins, leading to a turnover on downs. With under a minute on the clock, the Titans on their own 27 yard line would complete a 37 yard pass as Chase Petersen found John Cody once again who would run after the catch and get out of bounds to stop the clock, giving the Titans a shot at the end zone on the 25 yard line. With under 30 seconds left, QB Chase Petersen would throw it up into the end zone. 1 on 1 with the corner, WR John Cody would win the jump ball and come down with his 4th touchdown and the game winning touchdown catch for the Titans as the final score would be 48-44. Overall, this was a rollercoaster of a game as the Titans never gave up or stopped fighting and were rewarded with a hard-earned victory as Senior QB Chase Petersen accounted for 7 total touchdowns along with Senior WR John Cody making big play after big play, collecting 4 receiving touchdowns. The Titans will look to continue their momentum as league begins next week with Tesoro’s rival, Mission Viejo High School in the Diablos homecoming game.

Susan G. Komen Orange County Pink Tie Ball Raises More Than $635,000
The Ladera Ranch News
2017 Pink Tie Guy William Sanderson and wife Diana Sanderson. It was a night to remember for the more than 500 guests gathered at the 11th annual Komen Orange County Pink Tie Ball at Huntington Beach’s Photo by Andy Art. Paséa. The sold-out, elegant celebration “On the Edge,” raised more than $635,000 to fund the next generation of research and local initiatives to achieve the organization’s Bold Goal, to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the U.S. by 2026. The formal evening kicked-off with an outdoor reception boasting spectacular ocean views and gourmet hors d’oeuvres donated by Bluewater Grill for the eleventh consecutive year. Stylish stilt walkers dressed in white greeted guests while KAT+ COTTO, an edgy duo composed of a DJ and violin player, created a festive atmosphere with their upbeat music and dance vibes. As the sun set over the ocean, guests enjoyed champagne and cocktails while bidding on the silent auction one-of-a-kind experiences and fabulous opportunity drawing items: three stunning pieces of jewelry donated by Winston’s Crown Jewelers worth $12,500, including a 19.39 carat Brazilian kunzite. For the first time this year, Komen supporters could participate in the silent auction digitally at the event or remotely. Prizes included stays at luxury resorts such as the Marival Resort in Mexico or the Belmond El Encanto in Santa Barbara, a cruise on a private yacht, a jetpack flight for two, helicopter lessons, and VIP tickets to various concerts and sporting events. As the doors of the ballroom opened, guests were ushered in and welcomed Scott Sherman, Mark Rhee, Sam Riela Khan T.Tran. Photo by Andy Art. with a performance of Lady Gaga’s “On the Edge of Glory” by Stellar Show Band, in the spirit of this year’s theme “On the Edge” of breaking research and treatments that will end breast cancer forever. Dinner began with a salad of oven-dried heirloom tomatoes, olive tapenade and rosemary croutons, followed by a duet entrée of ancho rubbed short ribs and citrus glazed salmon accompanied by horseradish mashed potatoes, broccolini and Cipollini onions on the side. For dessert, guests faced the dilemma of choosing between an exquisite Chocolate Trilogy composed of gluten-free chocolate cake, dark and white mousse and a timeless Crème Brulée & Strawberries. While guests enjoyed their three-course meals with wines graciously donated by Thieriot Wines, Mark and Dr. Jessica Rhee, advocates and event co-chairs, thanked the audience for their support in the fight against breast cancer and honored Mark’s mother, a breast cancer survivor who was in the audience, and Jessica’s mother, who lost her battle to breast cancer many years ago. Following their speech, Gretchen Valentine, President of Komen Orange County’s Board of Directors, introduced this year’s Pink Tie Guys, an exclusive group of seven male advocates committed to the local fight against breast cancer, joining 77 other Orange County businessmen and community leaders selected over the past decade. Each was presented with a pink tie donated by Macy’s, symbolic of their commitment to raise awareness within the business community in support of Komen’s mission. The 2017-2018 Pink Tie Guys include: Ray Baird, Branding Business; Stilt walkers entertaining guests.

Bancorp; Ken Paramo, Brown-Forman; David Moatazedi, Allergan; Mark Photo by Andy Art. Rhee, Rhee Enterprises LP; and William Sanderson, Golden State Foods. “We are so grateful for each of our Pink Tie Guys who leverage their network all year long to engage the community and bring awareness to our mission of providing those in need with reliable breast health services and education,” said Lisa Wolter, executive director of Komen Orange County. “It means so much to see the tremendous support from our community, especially at events like this where we can come together to celebrate our unwavering dedication to reaching our Bold Goal in 2026!” As the last crumb of dessert was devoured, guests were invited on the dance floor to dance the night away. Susan G. Komen is the world’s largest breast cancer organization, funding more breast cancer research than any other nonprofit while providing realtime help to those facing the disease. Komen has set a Bold Goal to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the U.S. by 2026. Komen was founded in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker, who promised her sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would end the disease that claimed Suzy’s life. Komen Orange County is working to better the lives of those facing breast cancer in the local community. Through events like the Komen Orange County Race for the Cure®, Komen Orange County has invested more than $38 million in community breast health programs and has helped contribute to the more than $920 million invested globally in research.

L a ur a ’ s Hou s e Groo v y G a l a R a i s e s $ 5 3 0 , 0 0 0 Toward Services for Domestic Violence Victims
Photos by: T. Taylor Wearing disco fashions and boogying to the groovy sounds of the ‘70s, more than 300 domestic violence advocates gathered on Sept. 16 at the Island Hotel Newport Beach to celebrate the Laura’s House 23rd annual gala themed “Saturday Night Fever at Club Laura’s House.” Emceed by NBC 4 Emmy-winning reporter Hetty Chang, the successful soirée raised more than $530,000 for services benefiting domestic violence victims, including the Laura’s House emergency shelter, community programs, legal advocacy services, prevention and education outreach programs and more. The evening began with a cocktail reception that included a silent auction filled with unique experiences and luxury items such as a threenight stay at the Grand Wailea in Maui, Anaheim Ducks tickets, Kendra Scott jewelry, an Urban Decay beauty basket, Caribbean adventures and more. Setting the tone for the evening, guests were welcomed with a fun photo opportunity, followed by nostalgic performances of pop hits such as “Boogie Fever” and “Staying Alive.” “This event is critical in raising funds to support victims of domestic violence and their families, and to offer them a chance at a better life,” said Laura’s House Board Member and Gala Chair Laura Khouri. “It is also eye-opening and helps us realize that abuse affects so many people in our community, including people close to us – family members, neighbors, coworkers and others we would not necessarily suspect. More than ever, it is vital that we end the silence of domestic violence to educate and empower victims with the resources available to them.” Laura’s House awarded its 2017 Crystal Heart Award to Erik Cadle and Adrian Vasquez from Irvinebased Western National Group, for their dedication and help in remodeling Laura’s House newest site, the 2,200-square foot Domestic Violence Advocacy Center (DVAC) accommodating the Laura’s House fast-growing legal team, and offering therapeutic services, workshops and groups. Cadle and Vasquez mobilized their network and donated countless hours and weekend time to transform the office into a beautiful, safe and peaceful haven for Laura’s House clients to address their issues with therapists and legal advocates. Casco Contractors, a company run by Laura’s House board member Cheryl Osborn, was honored with the 2017 Corporate Crystal Heart Award for unwavering and generous support of the nonprofit. Throughout the years, under Osborn’s leadership, Casco Contractors conducted major
improvement projects at Laura’s H o u s e ’s e m e r g e n c y s h e l t e r, transitional living facility and at its San Juan Capistrano and Lake Forest resale stores. “We are grateful for our supporters who go above and beyond to help us in our mission of ending domestic violence,” said Margaret Bayston, Laura’s House CEO and executive director. “With their help, we have served nearly 55,000 people in need of shelter, counseling or legal assistance. Domestic violence does not discriminate and can happen to anyone, regardless of income, education, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. Our goal is to empower domestic violence survivors, but also to change once and for all the social beliefs, attitudes and the behaviors that perpetuate domestic violence.” During the program, three emotional recordings of survivors calling 911 for assistance, one from a woman and two from children, were played for the audience, a reminder that domestic violence remains a prevalent issue for the entire family within our community. Attendees also heard a first-hand testimony from a survivor who shared her personal story of survival and experience working with the Laura’s House legal team. Bayston, Adam Dodge, legal director, and Jennifer Ponce, prevention education manager, also highlighted the areas of rapid expansion and the need for additional support in these areas, as Laura’s House continues to meet the needs of our community. The program also included a live auction with fabulous prizes such as box seats to Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull and Janet Jackson concerts at the Honda Center, luxurious Maui getaways, and a special appeal ‘Rebuild a Life,’ directly funding programs and services provided by Laura’s House. The opportunity drawing winner captured a weekend getaway in a Tesla. Following the program, the fabulous disco Sensation Showband started the dance party with guests onstage for a fun rendition of the “YMCA.” Presenting sponsors for the 2017 gala are Laura Khouri and Michael K. Hayde. I Will Survive sponsors are Nancy and Geoffrey Stack. Night Fever sponsors are the Julia and George Argyros/Argyros Family Foundation and the Lisa Argyros/ Argyros Family Foundation.

Four Santa Margarita High School Students N a m e d National Merit Semifinalists
Santa Margarita Catholic High School seniors Jordan Jennison, Andrew Senkowski, Rachel Kim and Susannah Sherwood pictured with Principal Ray Dunne. Santa Margarita Catholic High School seniors Jordan Jennison of Yorba Linda, Rachel Kim of Irvine, Andrew Senkowski of Laguna Niguel, and Susannah Sherwood of Rancho Santa Margarita were named semifinalists in the 63rd annual National Merit Scholarship Program. This honor is earned by less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors. These academicallytalented high school seniors are four of approximately 16,000 students nationwide that will have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,500 National Merit scholarships worth about $32 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a merit scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. About 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to Page 16
attain finalist standing, and about half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the merit scholar title. About 1.6 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools entered the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors. To become a finalist, the semifinalist and their high school must submit a detailed scholarship application, in which they provide information about the semifinalist’s academic record, participation in school and community

activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received. A semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test. In addition to these talented scholars, Santa Margarita Catholic High School is pleased to announce the following seniors have earned the status of commended students in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program: Jack A. Barrera Emily E. Caraig Devon H. Chang Cole J. Cherney Pelin Ensari John P. Evans Amanda M. Fosdick
