The suspect has now been identified as Quinn Kasbar, 19, of Newport Beach. Authorities say Kasbar stole the primate and then the next day dropped it off at the NEWPORT Newport Beach Marriott Bayview hotel in a box with a note saying that it belonged to the Santa BEACH Ana Zoo and to call police. A video from the hotel showed a suspect leaving the scene in a hoodie sweatshirt. Broken Clouds Recently, Kasbar was allegedly “bragging” about the incident. In a follow-up Humidity: 55% investigation, police found that he’s allegedly also tied to a number of burglaries on Balboa Wind: 4.7 m/h Island, Corona del Mar and Newport Beach. 62.3°F He will appear in court next month. However, he remains free on bail. Loaner car reported missing from Fletcher Jones Motorcars Newport Beach Police took a report on Wednesday, May 8, from Fletcher Jones TUE WED THU Motorcars for a vehicle that was previously taken without their consent.

Newport Beach Mayor Diane Dixon is also in and so is incumbent Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Laguna Beach). Ernby is from Huntington Beach and is a Deputy District Attorney. Here’s a question: One of her first endorsements for the office came from former Newport Beach city councilmember Scott Peotter. Is that a good thing for her campaign or a bad thing? I’ll let you decide. • • • Something bugs me and I want to get it off my chest. Grace Leung, Newport Beach City Manager, always gets her “council meeting brief” out to readers on the Friday prior to the Tuesday city council meeting. It gives the community an opportunity to review the issues and plan to attend if need be. That’s the way it should be done. The Newport-Mesa School District, on the other hand, is just the opposite. Tuesday, at 11:03 a.m., the day of their scheduled meeting, I received an email from the District saying, “in the interest of keeping the community informed, please see..” and they include a brief review. Is it really in the interest of the community to send out this type of communique less than seven hours before the start of the meeting? I say no. The agenda is posted on Fridays before the Tuesday meeting and their brief should be as timely. I’ve asked for changes but for naught. • • • Business must be good for local chiropractors. Here’s why. I’ve been suffering with a severe lower back issue for months. I’ve exercised, stretched and rested, nothing helps. So last week I decided to engage a chiropractor. I looked online, found one, then filled out their info card to await a return telephone call. It never came. So Monday, I called another one and got a machine. No problem, I left a message, hoping for a return call. So far, it, too, has never come. I can only assume that chiropractors have so much business they don’t need anymore. Oh...what to do? • • • Finally, 27 people stepped up to serve on the City’s Homelessness Task Force. Seven were selected at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Congrats to Helen Cameron, John Heffernan, Terry Moore, Thomas Peterson, David Snow, The Rev. Cindy Voorhees and Jean Wegener. They join city councilmembers Brad Avery, Joy Brenner and Will O’Neill. The City will spend $1 million over the next five years on outreach and placement. 0 Art formed in a wave This is as close as we can come to actually singing to our readers on their birthdays!

  • ACSA Every Student Succeeding Program Student Story Archives 1996
    ACSA Every Student Succeeding Program Student Story Archives 1996 Region 1 Monica Sanchez Red Bluff High, Red Bluff Union HSD Intelligent and sensitive, Monica Sanchez is a natural leader. Two years ago, she used her leadership skills to recruit and mold members of a local female gang. In the last year as a peer counselor and advisor, she used her influence to positively affect other girls, helping them to stay in school and out of trouble. Monica, a 1996 graduate of Red Bluff High School, is ACSA’s Every Student Succeeding Recognition program winner for Region 1. The program commends students for overcoming extraordinary odds to succeed in school and recognizes the educators who helped them. Monica’s support team included Red Bluff High principal Joe Pelanconi, associate principals Rick Prestwood and Bob Bryson, high school counselor Jose “Pep” Roa and Chico State University’s talent search counselor Doyle Lowry. At the beginning of high school, Monica was involved with a local Red Bluff gang whose members were in constant contact and conflict with young women from nearby Corning. Monica had no use for school. A community effort involving parents, law enforcement officers, probation officials and school staff helped Monica to change. The officials met with parents to help them understand gangs and convince them of the need to work together to help their children. And they met with students involved with gangs or at risk for joining them to show them positive alternatives. Red Bluff High staff, including Pelanconi, Prestwood, Bryson and Roa, met with Monica to discuss the need for her to make difference choices and to explain the consequences of her behavior.
