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 Transformative Ark
    Chapter 15 The Transformative Ark Ben A. Minteer and Christopher Rojas Abstract As conservationists confront an accelerating extinction crisis, zoos are emerging as potentially significant players in the effort to protect global biodiver- sity, a role that will likely intensify in the coming decades. It’s an agenda, however, that raises a number of ethical and practical questions as zoological parks seek to balance a growing conservation mission alongside their traditional recreation and entertainment pursuits. Many of these questions were first addressed in Bryan Norton’s anthology, Ethics on the Ark, a milestone in applied ethics and zoo conservation published in 1995. In the decades since Norton’s book appeared, the function of zoos as conservation educators and as centers of public transformation has come into sharper focus, with new fields such as conservation psychology measuring the impact of the zoo visit on public perceptions, attitudes, and con- servation behaviors. In this chapter, we explore some of this recent empirical work examining zoo visitors’ experiences and argue that Norton’s early writing in environmental ethics and conservation, particularly his notion of “transformative value,” offers a philosophical grounding for understanding the ethical potential of encounters with zoo animals. We close the chapter by discussing some of the challenges and tensions that emerge when Norton’s argument, which was originally presented as a justification for protecting wild biodiversity due to its ability to “transform” consumer preferences to more ecologically enlightened attitudes, is adapted to the zoo setting. Keywords Zoos Á Conservation education Á Transformative value Conservation psychology B. A. Minteer (&) School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, P.O.

  • National Geographic Photo Ark Exhibition Opens at Zoos Across
    single archive of studio-quality photographs of biodiversity ever, the National Geographic Photo Ark continues to move toward its goal of documenting these 12,000 species in human care, thanks in part to Sartore’s enduring relationships with many of the world’s zoos and aquariums. These iconic portraits have captured the imagination of people around the world and have even been projected on the Empire State Building in New York and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. “The National Geographic Photo Ark has already inspired millions around the world with the message that it is not too late to save some of the world’s most endangered species,” said Kathryn Keane, vice president of exhibitions, National Geographic Society. “Joel Sartore has demonstrated what one man can do using the power of photography—and now National Geographic and the Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium want to inspire people all over the country to contribute to this global challenge.” The National Geographic Photo Ark exhibition highlights more than 50 of Sartore’s most compelling images and provides visitors with the unique opportunity to come face to face with animals from the National Geographic Photo Ark. Sartore started the Photo Ark in his hometown of Lincoln, Neb., more than a decade ago. Since then, he has visited 40 countries and has worked in more © Joel Sartore, National Geographic National Joel Sartore, © than 250 zoos, aquariums and animal rescue centers around the world in his quest to create Photo Ark the Photo Ark. Many of the images featured in the National Geographic Photo Ark exhibition National Geographic Photo were taken at the zoos where the exhibition will be on display, including the Madagascar ibis at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Ark Exhibition Opens at Zoos Aquarium, the Somali wild ass at the Dallas Zoo and the fishing cat at the Cincinnati Across the United States Zoo and Botanical Garden.
