Search Police Files Burglar gets away with $103,000 in jewelry A forced entry residential burglary on Bridgeport Road last Thursday, March 14, was very costly to residents. Sometime between 10:30 a.m. and 8:22 p.m., a burglar took jewelry and other unknown items at an estimated value of some $103,000. The suspect entered through the yard from a dirt trail that backs up to the property, NEWPORT crossing a glass fence where fingerprints were left. He or she then used a barbeque to gain BEACH access to the second floor where a sliding glass door was shattered. There was no surveillance camera or eyewitnesses. Few Clouds The Newport Beach Police Department continues to investigate. Humidity: 93% Late night meth arrest leads to big-time bail Wind: 7.45 m/h If you want to talk about a bad day, go no further than Christine Marie Wells, 30, of 51.0°F Wilmington. Wells was a passenger in a vehicle that the Newport Beach Police pulled over on Friday, March 15, at Via Lido and Newport Blvd. at 2:23 a.m. Upon further investigation, police found that Wells had not only a felony warrant in her THU FRI SAT name, but also 2.9 grams of methamphetamine and a meth pipe in her possession. She was arrested for the warrant and possession of a controlled substance. Her bail amount, $752,500. 51/51°F 51/58°F 55/59°F Ride a bike on the sidewalk and this time go to jail A no-no in Newport Beach is riding a bicycle on the sidewalk. So, when the Newport Beach Police Department noticed Nathan Ooten Seigel, 34, of Felicity, doing exactly that, they stopped him. That, of course, as it does many times, led to other problems for the suspect. When they tried to run him, they found that Seigel was using a false name and date of birth. Upon further investigation they searched his backpack and found a set of metal knuckles, bolt cutters and black gloves. He also had outstanding warrants, one related to possession of narcotics for sale. Police arrested Seigel for possession of metal knuckles and possession of burglary tools, false ID to a specific peach officer and two warrants, one related to possession of narcotics for sale. He was booked on $20,000 bail. Scroll down to Police Beat for all arrests & crime report

Fair Game By TOM JOHNSON Spring is here and so are the Anteaters Spring has sprung! Or at least it will tomorrow at 21:58 UCT. What is the UCT you ask? The Coordinated Universal Time defined as “on the day of the equinoxes, the sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal.” Or, also called the Vernal or March Equinox, “when the sun crosses the celestial equator, moving south to north.” And that is your study of meteorology for the day. • • • Looking for a longshot in this year’s NCAA March Madness? Look no further than our own UCI. The Anteaters finished the year with a record of 30-5 and play their first tournament game against Kansas State this Friday, March 22 at 2 p.m. in San Jose. Trivia question? Who was the last Big West team (that’s the conference of UCI) to win 30 games in a season? If you said UNLV in 1990-91, go to the head of the class. The Runnin’ Rebels, coached by the infamous Jerry Tarkanian, finished 34-1 and won the National Championship. Their roster included the likes of Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon and Greg Anthony. Back to UCI. They play a great team game. In the most recent Big West Conference Championships over the past weekend, several different stars stepped up to carry the load. Jonathan Galloway, 6-10, and Tommy Rutherford, 6-8, are in the middle. Guard Max Hazard lit it up from three-point land in the finals against Fullerton and Robert Cartwright saved the day against Long Beach in the semis. Can UCI win? Sure, but it’ll be a longshot. The Wildcats finished the year 25-8 and won the Big 12. One common opponent is Texas A&M. UCI beat the Aggies 74-73, while Kansas State lost to them 65-53. The Anteaters are playing in the South bracket, with the victor playing the winner of Wisconsin – Oregon on Sunday. Go Eaters! • • • Trees on Marine Avenue in Balboa Island may soon be destined for the woodpile as the City looks at infrastructure upgrades. Obviously, residents don’t want to lose the eucalyptus. However, there is concern that the trees’ root system is being supported by the surrounding, but aging pavement and concrete. Independent arborists are presently studying the situation. But, since the City has to err on the side of caution, it probably doesn’t look promising. • • • Finally, the Orange County Board of Education appears to be shoving a charter down the throats of the Newport-Mesa School District area. Recently, the OCBE approved the International School for Science and Culture much to the chagrin of NMUSD and many local parents in attendance. The new school potentially removes monies that would otherwise go to support the NMUSD. The issue passed on a vote of 3-2, with Trustee Mari Barke, who represents Newport Beach, voting for the project. Boo!

The Rob Machado Foundation’s (RMF) primary mission is to educate and empower young people to make sustainable choices. Rob Machado is one of the world’s most recognizable surfers as well as a committed environmentalist. In 2004, he established RMF to support environmental programs for youth.

The proceeds are from the 2018 Arbor House Party and will go toward installing new FloWater stations in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa schools. Arbor Real Estate partnered with RMF four years ago to help it further its goal of installing clean water stations in the local community. “We realized our goals as a brokerage were aligned with Rob’s and it was a natural step for us to partner with him and his foundation,” said Chris Brigandi, Arbor’s founder.

The Dream Stitcher tells the story of a Newport Beach woman in the year 2008 on the brink of home foreclosure, who moves her mother into her home to make ends meet. With Mom comes a 6 ft. x 14 ft. replica of the Bayeux Tapestry that holds long-buried secrets, including the revelation that Mom knows how to sew. Attempts to uncover the past lead to a young Jewish woman in Poland who has the power to sew dreams into reality and is tasked by the Germans during World War II to decipher the symbols in the iconic Bayeux Tapestry. Meanwhile, she is working against them, using her magic to raise money for guns to help her lover launch the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. BookPleasures says of The Dream Stitcher, “It is difficult to convey the full flavor of this great feast of a novel which is an intriguing blend of thriller, history, love, war, magic, deception and tragedy all wrapped together in a neat package with an unexpected ending.” Gaal will talk about the genesis of the book and the themes in the novel, touching on their relevance in today’s world.
