Search Police Files Lemur pilferer pleads guilty in Federal Court A man who broke into the Santa Ana Zoo after hours and stole North America’s oldest- living ring-tailed lemur in captivity to keep the endangered animal as a pet has agreed to plead guilty to a federal criminal charge. Aquinas (Quinn) Kasbar, 19, of Newport Beach, has agreed to plead guilty to one NEWPORT misdemeanor count of unlawfully taking an endangered species. The charge carries a BEACH statutory maximum penalty of one year in federal prison and a $100,000 fine. Kasbar’s initial court appearance has been scheduled for May 28 in United States District Court in Santa Ana. Clear Sky According to his plea agreement filed yesterday, on July 27, 2018, Kasbar broke into the Humidity: 72% Santa Ana Zoo after it had closed for the day. While in the zoo, Kasbar used bolt cutters to cut Wind: 1.72 m/h a hole in the zoo’s enclosures for lemurs and capuchin monkeys, which enabled several of 56.5°F the animals to escape, though they were later recovered, according to court documents.

Courtesy OC District Attorney’s office Quinn Kasbar Kasbar admitted in his plea agreement to stealing Isaac, a 32-year-old, ring-tailed lemur, and North America’s oldest ring-tailed lemur in captivity. After stealing Isaac, Kasbar placed the animal in a plastic drawer that lacked ventilation holes, court papers state. The next day, Kasbar abandoned Isaac in front of a Newport Beach hotel, leaving him in the same plastic drawer with two notes placed on it, which read, “Lemur” and “This belongs to the Santa Ana Zoo it was taken last night please bring it to police,” the plea agreement states. Kasbar’s actions resulted in a loss to the Santa Ana Zoo of approximately $8,486, court papers state. This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Newport Beach Police Department and the Santa Ana Police Department. This matter is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Daniel H. Ahn of the Santa Ana Branch Office and Erik M. Silber of the Environmental and Community Safety Crimes Section. Kasbar is also charged with a number of residential burglaries in Balboa Island, Newport Beach and Corona del Mar. He was linked to the burglaries through evidence found in the lemur case. He is scheduled for a court appearance in June. Supreme Court passes on decision as to whether NB is on the hook for wrongful death The Supreme Court decided not to hear Newport Beach vs. Vos, an excessive force lawsuit, thereby allowing a jury to decide whether police are liable for shooting and killing a mentally ill man. Gerritt Vos died in 2014 after being shot by Newport Beach police when he charged them outside a convenience store while holding a pair of scissors. Police were called when Vos, 22, from San Clemente, was acting agitated in a 7-Eleven. The store’s clerk and customers had previously exited with one reportedly cut on the hand by the scissors. Police took positions in front of the store, accompanied by a police dog and non-lethal weapons. However, Vos came running out of the store toward police and they shot him four times. He later died of his wounds. Follow-up tests revealed methamphetamine in his system. His previous medical history also had him diagnosed as a schizophrenic. Vos’ parents filed a $25 million wrongful death suit against the City of Newport Beach. The City’s lawyers asked the Court whether police needed to “provide accommodations to an armed, violent and mentally ill suspect” when making an arrest. The Court, in deciding not to hear the case, now turns the case back for a jury to decide. Scroll down to Police Beat for all arrests & crime report

Fair Game By TOM JOHNSON Summer gets started early in Newport Beach Summer officially begins on Friday, June 21, at 8:54 a.m. But for Newport Beach, you’d have to move that up almost a month, as Memorial Day weekend seems to actually be our unofficial kickoff to summer. And we get things started in a big way. Take the Balboa Bay Resort for example. Beginning this Friday night, it’s three days of enjoyment with the 16th Annual Newport Beach Wine Festival. Their kickoff is the Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel Winemaker Dinner in the Waterline restaurant; Saturday they show off with 25 premium and award-winning wineries offering up 100+ varietals, food stations and live entertainment or The Macallan & Cheese Whisky Tasting. That evening the party moves into the A&O Kitchen+Bar with hand-crafted cocktails, food, bites and live music. Then Saturday, back to the Waterline for the Taittinger Champagne Brunch. Wait, they’re not done. Midday Sunday offers a culinary showcase complete with demonstrations and then a wine blending experience that afternoon. So, maybe wine is not your deal. Then how about the largest inflatable obstacle course in SoCal at the Newport Dunes. This looks like fun!!

Courtesy of Newport Dunes & W aterfront Resort Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort’s Water Park obstacle course is open Friday, May 24 through Monday, May 27 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. They also have a Boots on the Beach: Memorial Day Memories concert on Sunday night, featuring Garth Brooks and Brooks & Dunn tribute bands. And, we’d be remiss if we didn’t remind Newport Beach that the Balboa Peninsula Trolley gets dusted off and returns this Saturday for all three days of the weekend. Hours are 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. There’s free parking in the Avon lot off Riverside. Things don’t stop there. The next weekend is equally busy. Three days of jazz at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach Jazz Festival. Anybody we know, you ask? How about George Benson, Poncho Sanchez and Jeffrey Osborne to name just a few of the acts. Saturday, June 1, kicks off early with the Corona del Mar Scenic 5K. It’s one of those races you can run, walk or jog. It’s designed to have fun. Plus, the host Corona del Mar Chamber puts together nice pre and post-race events and entertainment. Also, early Saturday is the 3rd Annual Newport Harbor Underwater Cleanup. Sure, don your wetsuit, hook up the scuba tanks and you’re ready. Some 200 volunteers will get wet to clean up Newport’s greatest resource. There’s breakfast, live entertainment and exhibits. It kicks off at the Balboa Bay Resort. This is as close as we can Then Sunday, don’t forget the 26th running of the Balboa Island Parade. It might only be come to actually singing to our a few blocks long, but it’s the entries that make it special. You get golf carts, wiener dogs, the readers on their birthdays! USC Marching Band, Keystone Cops, kids riding bikes, collector cars, dignitaries…you name We’d love to include yours – it, it’s there. The bridge closes at 10:45 a.m. and the parade begins promptly thereafter. and/or your friends and I’m tired already and that’s just two weekends.

Click on photo for a larger image This isn’t a view you’ll see anymore, and not just because most of the houses and buildings in this picture are now gone. In 1923, the harbor was less crowded, allowing small boats like the sailing canoe on the left to move about without worrying about larger boats hitting them. In fact, whole fleets of these little boats can sometimes be seen sailing by in photographs. Balboa Island Museum and the Museum Store are located at 210 B Marine Ave., Balboa Island.

Police reminder: Memorial Day equals more DUIs, so they’ll be watching Memorial Day Weekend is a time many spend with family and friends for outdoor activities but is also what is considered the start of California’s 100 dangerous days of summer on roadways between the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. Last Memorial Day, 43 people were injured in alcohol-related collisions, accounting for 25 percent of all injury crashes. During this time of busy summer travel, the Newport Beach Police Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. “If you plan on drinking, don’t plan on driving,” Newport Beach Police Department Lieutenant Cartwright said. “Know beforehand how you are getting home. It’s never worth putting yourself and others at risk by driving when you should not be driving.” In recent years, California has seen an increase in drug-impaired driving crashes. The Newport Beach Police Department reminds drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” Prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications and marijuana can also affect your ability to drive safely, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs. The Newport Beach Police Department offers these tips to make sure you have a safe Memorial Day holiday and summer: have a sober friend, ride-share, taxi or public transportation be your ride home; report drunk drivers – call 911; hosting a party? Offer nonalcoholic drinks. Monitor who is drinking and how they are getting home; and, check any medications or over-the-counter drugs you are taking and how they may impact your ability to drive. Funding for DUI enforcement is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Seat belts save lives…wear one From now through June 2, the Newport Beach Police Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers and passengers who are not buckled up, including drivers who do not secure children in child safety seats. The enforcement effort is part of the national Click It or Ticket campaign focused on increasing seat belt use. “Seat belts have proven time and time again to be life-savers,” Newport Beach Police Department Lieutenant Cartwright said. “Buckling up should be second nature.”

Click on photo for a larger image At 96.2 percent, California has one of the highest seat belt use rates in the nation. However, 532 people killed in crashes statewide last year were not wearing a seat belt. “Putting on a seat belt takes a few seconds and is your best protection in a crash,” Lieutenant Cartwright said. “We want everyone to be as safe as possible when driving or riding in a car and wearing a seat belt is the easiest way to do that.” In California, the fine for a seat belt violation is $162, and $490 for failing to secure a child in the proper safety seat. Under California law, children under two years old, 40 pounds and 40 inches are required to be in a rear-facing car seat. Children under the age of eight must be secured in a car or booster seat. California has a primary seat belt law, which allows law enforcement officers to ticket someone for not wearing a seat belt without committing another traffic violation. Funding for Click It or Ticket enforcement efforts are provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

It’s more than planes at JWA Documenting his travels throughout the U.S., Tahiti, Europe and Russia with photography, painter William (Bill) Knauer brings the photos of his experiences to life through acrylic impressionist-like paintings. Knauer’s artwork is on display in the John Wayne Airport Community Focus Space from now through June 18. “Through his vivid paintings, Bill Knauer visually transports individuals to the places he’s traveled, immersing them in rich history, architecture, and character,” said Orange County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Lisa Bartlett. “The next time you travel through John Wayne Airport, take a moment to view his artwork.”

Photos courtesy of W illiam Knauer Knauer developed his impressionistic techniques through more than 1,200 hours of continuous workshop participation, focusing mainly on landscapes and villagescapes. He also studied art in U.S. and European galleries and museums including the Hermitage, Louvre, Georges Pompidou, Musee d’ Orsee and Getty. “My paintings emphasize the use of bold, vibrant colors that highlight the shadows of the morning and late afternoon sun to capture the warmth, antiquity, and beauty of life in the U.S. and Europe,” Knauer said.

His work is currently on display at the Cove Gallery in Laguna Beach where he has been a contributing artist for more than 15 years. To learn more about Knauer’s artwork, visit his website at www.billknauer.com. Knauer’s exhibit can be viewed on the Departure (upper) Level near security screening areas in Terminals A, B and C, and on the Arrival (lower) Level adjacent to Baggage Carousels 1 and 4. Upcoming Community Focus Space artists include photographer Douglas Kalagian (June 19-July 18) and painter Rosemary Vasquez-Tuthill (July 19-August 15).

Tours of the Wild Goose will be available throughout Saturday, June 8. If you have a show-ready wooden boat of any size and you haven’t already applied to take part in the festival, there is still dock and on-land space available.

OCCF hosts second annual Giving Day on May 30 On May 30, the Orange County Community Foundation (OCCF) will host the second annual “Empowering Possibilities,” a Giving Day for OC neighbors with disabilities. This 24- hour online effort aims to raise $95,000 in critical funds for nine local organizations. “Empowering Possibilities” is part of a bold initiative by OCCF to boost the capacity of local nonprofits through a series of Collaborative Giving Days. Nonprofits with shared missions are invited to come together to boost collective giving for their causes. OCCF will power the campaign by providing seed funding to support the marketing assets, campaign resources and collaborative partnerships. The seven Giving Days held throughout 2018 raised a total of $1.4 million for local organizations.

Click on photo for a larger image Submitted photo “The success of last year’s inaugural ‘Empowering Possibilities’ Giving Day, which raised $86,523 with participation from more than 300 donors, is a testament to our community’s generosity and the vision of our nonprofit leaders,” said Shelley Hoss, president, OCCF. “We are proud to unite nonprofits with similar missions to better support our community members with disabilities.” The nine organizations participating in “Empowering Possibilities” include Dayle McIntosh Center, Down Syndrome Association of Orange County, Family Support Network, Free Wheelchair Mission, Project Independence, Rehabilitation Institute of Southern California, Speech and Language Development Center, United Cerebral Palsy Association of Orange County and Vocational Visions. OCCF first challenged Orange County residents to “give where their heart lives” during the inaugural iheartoc Giving Day in 2015, raising more than $1.8 million through gifts to 347 participating nonprofits in just 30 hours. OCCF nearly doubled those results in 2016 during the second annual iheartoc Giving Day, receiving contributions totaling $3.2 million for 418 participating nonprofits. In 2017, OCCF re-envisioned iheartoc as an expanded opportunity for nonprofits to connect with one another in support of their shared missions. To give online, visit https://empowering-possibilities.funraise.org/. Additional collaborative Giving Days will be announced over the coming year.

Third annual Newport Harbor Underwater Clean Up slated for June 1 at the Balboa Bay Club Help Your Harbor, a coalition of community environmental groups coupled with hundreds of volunteers who participate in a variety of weekly beach and water clean-ups, are holding the 3nd annual Newport Harbor Underwater Clean Up (NHUC) scheduled for Saturday, June 1 at the Balboa Bay Club. More than 250 scuba divers and above-water volunteers will be deployed around Newport Harbor to collect trash, plastics and other water pollutants in a dedicated effort to keep the 25.2 miles of coastline, bay and harbor waterways pollution free. Last year, volunteers collected more than 4,000 pounds of trash and plastics from the harbor.

Click on photo for a larger image Photos courtesy of NHUC Divers participating in the underwater clean up Project AWARE has partnered with NHUC to help support the local community through their Dive Against Debris program. “This is a vision for the world to return to a clean ocean,” said Danna Moore, director of Project AWARE. “Dive Against Debris not only removes debris from the environment but also reports the data into the largest known underwater marine debris database. With this information, we can truly drive change and stop pollution from entering the ocean in the first place.” Volunteers will gather at the Balboa Bay Club lawn for a hosted breakfast and lunch, post-event party that includes a live band, opportunity drawing drawings and an awards ceremony for the most unusual items. Some of the most interesting past finds included a holstered pistol, shopping carts, car engines, two women’s purses (containing ID, cash and credit cards), Christmas trees and an unopened Champagne bottle with two flutes dubbed “the engagement gone wrong.” Of course, lots of single-use plastic items were collected, much of them being bottles and fishing line which are very hazardous to marine life. Click on photo for a larger image Volunteer empties the trash he found onto the dock The NHUC has grown steadily in three short years and organizers are excited to launch a new on-going social cause campaign – #WhatInspiresYou – featuring event partners discussing their passion for ocean activism. The first two video clips include Event Dive Master and Beach Cities Scuba’s Director of Operations DJ Mansfield and Director of Project AWARE Danna Moore. The event’s primary partners represent all corners of Orange County including: Balboa Bay Club, Duffy Electric Boats, Beach Cities Scuba Centers, Surfrider Newport Beach Chapter, Newport-Irvine Rotary Club, Project AWARE, Firebrand Media, Harbor Construction, Visit Newport Beach, City of Newport Beach, Parallel Pizzeria, Oakland Coffee Company, Hobie Surf Shops, Roots Beauty, K-Line & Company, Root Origins and Food Fleet.

Click on photo for a larger image (L-R) Newport Beach City Councilman Duffy Duffield interviews a representative from the Newport-Irvine Rotary Club “Marine pollution destroys ocean habitats, endangers marine and coastal wildlife, causes navigation hazards and threatens human health and safety,” said Newport Beach City Councilman Duffy Duffield, owner of Duffy Electric Boats, and co-founder of the effort. “Unfortunately the harbor is littered due to careless discard of trash as well as accidental dropping of personal items big and small that fall into the water. This is an important and much needed step to maintain the beauty of one of the world’s most active harbors,” Duffield said. Schedule of Events: –7 a.m. - Volunteer check-in; complimentary breakfast –8:15 a.m. - Mandatory safety briefing for all volunteers; group photo –9 a.m. - Divers deployed –11:30 a.m. - Post-dive party, opportunity drawings and awards ceremony. Music is by the popular Phoenix-based Grateful Dead cover band – The Harvest. Food is being donated by Parallel Pizzeria of Dana Point. There is a $20 donation for non-volunteers. This event is open to the public. –1 p.m. - Grand prizes announced –2 p.m. - Event concludes For more information and volunteer registration, contact [email protected] visit the website at www.NHUnderwaterCleanUp.com. Help Your Harbor was formed five years ago in Orange County by a group of dedicated environmentalists who feel a strong passion to remove trash and plastics, from our oceans, bays and watersheds. The organization has coordinated hundreds of volunteers to participate in a clean up on the first Saturday of every month to remove trash from Newport Harbor and the Back Bay resulting in more than 20,000 lbs. of trash.

About Elizabeth Smart: The abduction of Elizabeth Smart was one of the most followed child abduction cases of our time. Elizabeth was abducted on June 5, 2002, and her captors controlled her by threatening to kill her and her family if she tried to escape. Fortunately, the police safely returned Elizabeth back to her family on March 12, 2003, after being held a prisoner for nine grueling months. Through this traumatic experience, Elizabeth has become an advocate for change related to child abduction, recovery programs, and national legislation. Elizabeth triumphantly testified before her captor and the world about the very private nightmare she suffered during her abduction, which led to conviction.

Beyond the Canvas – The Great Masters in Art: Rembrandt, May 22 from 7-8 p.m. This season, award-winning professor Jacqueline Hahn will explore the Great Masters, in this fascinating art lecture series on legendary artists’ lives and artistic movements. Rembrandt was a Dutch draughtsman, painter and printmaker. An innovative and prolific master in three media, he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history. Unlike most Dutch masters of the 17th century, Rembrandt’s works depict a wide range of style and subject matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, genre scenes, allegorical and historical scenes, biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies. His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age, when Dutch art was extremely prolific and innovative, and gave rise to important new genres.
