APPLE VALLEY • Gil McAdams, the Victor Valley’s first orthodontist and a former pilot out of George Air Force Base, passed away at the age of 80.

McAdams established his Victorville practice in 1961, bringing smiles to High Desert families for 49 years.

“He regularly visited local schools to give free dental checkups, delivered free treatment to foreign exchange students and even gave one student free orthodontic treatment for a year,” said Peggy McAdams, his wife of 27 years.

Gil McAdams became a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics after only five years in the practice and is credited with bringing a cutting-edge treatment for TMJ, a painful jaw disorder, to the area. He eventually moved his practice from Victorville to Apple Valley where he could be in closer contact with other dentistry professionals and St. Mary Medical Center, where he was on staff.

Prior to completing his orthodontics education in 1961, Gil McAdams enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. He later transferred to the Air Force, where he developed a lifelong love of flying.

While on a training mission stationed at the former George AFB, the F-86 Gil McAdams was flying malfunctioned and he was forced to eject over the desert near Yucca Valley. His plane took a nose-dive into the desert sand on a horse ranch, his wife said. Fortunately, no horses were injured and Gil McAdams was picked up 30 seconds after he touched down by a helicopter pilot who had witnessed the ejection while on a cross-country training mission.

Following his duty at George AFB, Gil McAdams separated from the Air Force and used his GI Bill to graduate from the dentistry program at the University of California, Berkeley. He then went to the University of San Francisco to specialize in orthodontics, graduating in 1961.

After graduation, he and his wife at the time, Barbara McAdams, returned to the High Desert he had grown to love.

During this time, Gil McAdams became an active member of the Victorville and then Apple Valley Rotary clubs, where he served as president and assisted with laying hundreds of railroad ties to complete the Mojave Narrows Regional Park handicap trail.

“He was a very strong advocate of the Rotary motto, ‘Service above self,’ ” his wife said.

Gil McAdams was also active with the Holy Family Catholic Church in Hesperia and the Knights of Columbus.

Along with his wife, Gil McAdams is survived by his brother, eight children, 19 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

White Oaks Veterinary Clinic in Edmond announced that the animal clinic's equine vet offers comprehensive equine dentistry services. These services include routine oral health exams and care to correct bite abnormalities. The vet hospital's equine dentist has received special training in equine dentistry and can perform both regular examinations and bite corrections. An equine dental exam takes between 30 and 40 minutes. Sedation is administered to help the horse relax. In addition to equine dental care, the animal hospital also provides small animal care including vaccinations, wellness exams, surgical procedures and spay/neuter operations.

Dr. Jennifer Bianchi, an Edmond veterinarian and co-founder of White Oaks Veterinary Clinic, announced that the animal hospital offers comprehensive equine dentistry services.

"Oral exams are an essential part of any annual physical exam and equine wellness program," said. Dr. Bianchi. "Many cases of behavioral issues, medical problems and even colic can be traced back to dental problems, such as equine TMJ. A regular exam allows a veterinarian to correct dental problems while they are still in the early stages, before more serious care is required."

According to Dr. Bianchi, signs of equine dental problems include: difficulty chewing or excessive salivation; large or undigested feed particles in the manure; head tilting or tossing and tongue lolling to resist the bit or bridling; poor performance with the bridle such as failing to turn or stop, or bucking; a foul odor from the mouth and nostrils; blood from the mouth; nasal discharge; swelling of the face, jaw or mouth tissues.

An oral exam with an equine dentist lasts between 30 and 40 minutes. During the exam, the horse is sedated using intravenous anesthetics to help it relax and reduce stress. Since it is not safe to have a horse's mouth open for extensive time, Dr. Bianchi provides rest periods throughout the exam.

Following the exam, horse owners receive a detailed chart from the equine dentist outlining the horse's mouth before and after any corrections, along with a list of recommendations for future care.

Depending on the need for corrections, most horses are examined annually. Young horses under the age of five and performance horses may be examined every six to nine months.

An active show jumper, Dr. Bianchi is a member of the US Equestrian Federation, the American Quarter Horse Association, and the Greater Oklahoma Hunter Jumper Association. Dr. Bianchi and the veterinary care team at White Oaks have received special training to perform oral health examinations.

"It is especially important that your horse be examined by an equine vet who is trained to provide specialized equine dental care," said Dr. Bianchi. "Veterinary medicine is a very broad field, and the knowledge base is continually expanding. Not every veterinarian has the experience or knowledge to provide equine dental care. An equine vet with specialized training can ensure that your horse receives the best possible care -- you and your horse will really experience the difference."

Nomura Holdings Inc. will cut $1.2 billion in annual costs, with the ax falling heaviest on its employees in Europe, as Japan's biggest brokerage becomes the latest investment bank to bow to the reality of volatile markets and weak profits.

Posting a bigger-than-expected loss—its first since the financial crisis—Nomura tripled its previous $400 million cost-cutting target, saying that weak businesses will be trimmed as well.

"The industry is undergoing unprecedented change," said Nomura's Jasjit "Jesse" Bhattal in an interview. Mr. Bhattal, a Wall Street veteran with more than 25 years in investment banking, has advocated cutting costs. He oversees Nomura's investment banking and institutional trading businesses, where most of the cuts will fall. He said Nomura is adjusting its cost base to "the new market reality".

"There will be no sacred cows in this effort," said Takumi Shibata, Nomura's chief operating officer, on a conference call. "We will become a leaner company," he added.

Nomura said the cutbacks were prompted by the global crisis in investment banking, which is struggling to cope with volatile stock and bond prices, soft merger activity and tighter regulation.

Also on Tuesday, Credit Suisse Group AG said it will cut an additional 1,500 jobs and shrink its investment bank after revenue at the unit collapsed.

For Nomura, the market turmoil is also thwarting its ambitions to become a full-service global investment bank. The Japanese bank may continue to cut some services to clients and focus on areas where it believes it can compete effectively, executives said.

Nomura posted a ¥46.1 billion ($589.7 million) net loss for the three months ended Sept. 30, a worse result than the ¥35.60 billion loss analysts expected. It was the first red ink since early 2009, when Nomura absorbed the cost of taking on about 8,000 staff from Lehman Brothers' operations in Europe and Asia.

Tokyo-headquartered Nomura had hoped the Lehman bankers would help it build a global franchise that could compete across the board with Wall Street banks. Its confidence was bolstered by early success, the result of favorable market moves, so Nomura continued to hire aggressively, particularly in the U.S.

When markets soured and the European sovereign-debt crisis erupted, Nomura started to prune costs cautiously. Earlier this year, Nomura cut some jobs in energy trading and scaled back its European prime-brokerage operations, which serve hedge funds, said people familiar with the matter.

In July, Nomura said it will slash costs by $400 million annually at its wholesale unit. The planned cuts of $1.2 billion include that reduction.

The size of the cost cuts is based on the assumption that Europe's sovereign-debt crisis will drag on for the next 18 months, Chief Financial Officer Junko Nakagawa said at a news conference in Tokyo. Nomura executives say some capital will be reallocated to its growing U.S. and Asian operations.

About 60% of the newly announced cuts will be made in Europe, and personnel expenses will account for 70% of that $800 million reduction, said Ms. Nakagawa. Nomura expects to complete the cost-cutting measures by Sept. 30 next year.

Nomura executives said that so far, the cost of severance packages had been tightly controlled and the group was seeking to protect its core business operations.

Analysts questioned whether Nomura will be able to continue expanding, particularly in the U.S., while cost cutting in difficult markets. Nomura said it would continue to grow organically in the U.S.

Japan's banks and securities houses have long struggled to create a global full-service investment bank, an effort that has been hampered in some measure by the difficulty of funding a multiyear expansion in often volatile markets.

Last week, Japan's second-largest brokerage by revenue, Daiwa Securities Group Inc., reported its third consecutive quarterly loss and announced 300 job cuts in Europe and Asia. The reduction partially reversed an expensive international expansion that it had been working on in recent years.

"In these poor markets, Japanese investment banks are finding it tough to maintain high-maintenance, low-margin businesses," said Mark Pink, founder of Tokyo-based headhunting firm TMJ NetSearch. "The revenues are just not there."
