Search Police Files Woman charged with NHHS Nazi-related crimes A woman was charged yesterday with one count of misdemeanor vandalism and two counts of misdemeanor graffiti for allegedly posting Nazi propaganda at Newport Harbor High School and Fullerton College. Grace Elisabeth Ziesmer, 22, Fullerton, has been charged with one misdemeanor count NEWPORT of vandalism under $400 and two misdemeanor counts of graffiti. If convicted of all charges, BEACH Ziesmer faces a maximum sentence of one year and six months in Orange County Jail. Ziesmer is scheduled to appear at the Harbor Justice Center at 8:30 a.m. on June 6. Clear Sky On March 4, the defendant is accused of posting Nazi propaganda posters on city light Humidity: 71% poles near Fullerton College. Ziesmer is also accused of posting Nazi propaganda posters Wind: 4.7 m/h on Newport Harbor High School’s property on March 11. The posting of Nazi propaganda, which included swastikas, SS mottos and other neo- 54.9°F Nazi statements, is a hate incident. “Hate does not belong here. It does not belong anywhere,” said Orange County District THU FRI SAT Attorney Todd Spitzer. “The Orange County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting hate crimes and hate incidents to the fullest extent of the law. I am not going to tolerate hate in Orange County.” Ziesmer was not charged with a hate crime enhancement due to a lack of sufficient 54/54°F 55/61°F 60/63°F evidence that her conduct was directed at a particular victim for being Jewish. It could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant’s conduct was directed at the schools because of their connection with the Jewish people or the Jewish religion, based on the evidence and interviews conducted in the case. Deputy District Attorney Jake Jondle of the Special Prosecutions unit is prosecuting this case. Fire Files Flight en route to Orange County makes emergency landing Flight 1154, an Alaska Airlines Airbus A320, flying from Portland to Orange County, was diverted to LAX Friday evening, May 10, because of a “strong chemical smell” onboard, according to an airline spokesperson. The flight had 146 passengers and five crew members on board.

Click on photo for a larger image Courtesy of ocair.com The smell emanated from the back galley area of the airplane. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded and examined two passengers who had complained of medical issues. Both were examined and released at the scene. According to Alaska Airlines, the plane was removed from service and maintenance technicians were inspecting the aircraft. All passengers were successfully rerouted to Orange County.

Fair Game By TOM JOHNSON Flyover salutes another from the greatest generation Saturday afternoon, May 9, around 3:30 p.m., Newport Beach experienced a military flyover. Did you see it? A PBJ-1J, the only United States Marine Corps version of the B-25 Mitchell twin engine medium bomber still flying, made two passes, followed by two AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters from the Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HMLA-267) based at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Why were we so lucky, you ask? Saturday afternoon was a memorial service for Col. Norm Ewers (USMC, Ret.) at St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church in Corona del Mar. Norm, you see, earned a flyover and all of our greatest respect. He enlisted in the Navy in 1942, graduated from flight school and was then assigned to the Marine Corps where he served until 1969. During his service, he flew 393 combat missions in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. You read that right, 393.

Click on photo for a larger image Courtesy of Dick Ewers PBJ pilot Norm Ewers as a 20-year-old aircraft commander somewhere in the South Pacific He was presented a Silver Star during the Korean War for rescuing a downed airman in enemy-held territory, after fighting through intense enemy automatic weapons fire. The fact is, the enemy had drawn within 100 yards of the doomed airman, when Ewers located him despite a damaged radio. He earned a Gold Star in lieu of a second Silver Star during the Vietnam War, where, despite damage to his own aircraft, he prevented the annihilation of Vietnamese troops at the hands of two Viet Cong companies, fighting through their intense onslaught and leading 17 helicopters on three successive assaults. Norm also received two Distinguished Flying Crosses. In receiving the Gold Star, the commendation noted, “The President of the United States of America presents a Gold Star to Lt. Col. Norman Glen Ewers…for his courageous and daring actions, heroic leadership, and inspiring devotion to duty in the face of overwhelming odds.” Col. Ewers passed away at the age of 95 this past February. He was a hero in every sense. • • • Some schools are considered “football schools,” some are considered “basketball schools.” Newport Harbor High School has to be considered a “volleyball school.” The Sailors won the CIF Division 1 title Saturday night at Cerritos College in Norwalk, beating Manhattan Beach Mira Costa, 25-20, 25-23, 15-25 and 25-21. The victory eased last year’s disappointment when NHHS lost to crosstown rival Corona del Mar in the CIF Championship Match after a perfect regular season. NHHS now advances to the state tournament. A win there would be a nice parting gift for retiring coach Rocky Ciarelli who is walking away after 32 years of high school varsity coaching. • • • It’s nearing the end of the basketball season, so it’s no surprise during this time to hear Dennis Rodman’s name is in the news. However, this time, it’s not for basketball. As we reported last issue, Rodman and a group of friends entered Vibes Hot Yoga on W. Coast Highway last week, more than once. Reports are that Rodman and others This is as close as we can distracted Vibes’ employees while their cohort allegedly stole merchandise. An official police report was filed on Thursday, May 9, with the Newport Beach Police come to actually singing to our Department for “shoplifting less than $950.” The reported amount of the stolen property value readers on their birthdays! was $500. We’d love to include yours – In addition, a crystal vase, estimated to have a value of more than $3,500, was dropped and/or your friends and by the group and broke into pieces. children’s birthdays here.

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.

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. Learn more about the great masters of art in a fascinating visual presentation. Free to the public; seating is first come, first served. Sponsored by Friends of the Library. Takes place in the Central Library Friends Room, 1000 Avocado Ave., Newport Beach.
