NEWPORT BEACH Clear Sky Police Files Humidity: 87% “Stormy” past leads to serious federal charges for NB attorney Wind: 3.36 m/h Newport Beach attorney Michael Avenatti has been charged with fraud and aggravated 51.6°F identity theft for allegedly taking some $300,000 from Stormy Daniels. The latest charges are added to a number of other claims against Avenatti that include MON TUE WED wire fraud, bank fraud and extortion. Avenatti is suspected of spending monies directed to Daniels on personal expenses like airfare, hotels and restaurants, and to fund his law practice. He was also indicted this past week by a grand jury for allegedly attempting to extort 51/51°F 52/60°F 60/62°F some $25 million from Nike. Avenatti has denied the latest Daniels allegations. Daniels, a stripper and porn actress, is most known for her recent legal dispute with President Donald Trump, when she accused him of an affair. Alleged boat burglary involves nudity too Newport Beach Police were sent to the area of 28th St. and Newport Blvd., on Monday, May 20, around 6:30 p.m. for a citizen complaint of a suspicious person on a boat. Upon arrival, officers met with the owner of the boat who provided video surveillance of an individual on his boat without permission. The suspect allegedly entered the boat and rummaged through cabinets, while another suspect hovered nearby. Police arrested Kordel Eric Nelsoncaro, 24, of Costa Mesa, and Joseph Ray Banuelos, 23, of Anaheim. Nelsoncaro told police that he had entered the boat with the intent to use a towel. He was arrested for burglary of a boat and public nudity. Banuelos was also arrested for being “intoxicated beyond being able to care for himself,” according to police, and for public nudity. Nelsoncaro’s bail was set at $20,000; Banuelos’ was set at $500. Stolen car, drugs and identity theft charges pinned to desert residents Newport Beach Police arrested Paul John Juergens Meyer, 27, of Laughlin, and Lindsay Marie Arndt, 34, of Mohave, for possession of a stolen vehicle on Monday, May 20, around 1 p.m. at Orange St. and Seashore Drive.

He was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of a controlled substance, possession of unlawful paraphernalia and identity theft for possessing personal identity information of others. His warrants were undisclosed and from an outside agency. Arndt was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. Both had their bail set at $20,000.

Fair Game By TOM JOHNSON Remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice It’s always interesting how many people confuse the meanings behind Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Armed Forces Day. With social media all around us, people are erroneously remembering loved ones who served on Memorial Day, service people who died in the line of duty on Veterans Day and so forth. So, here’s a little primer. Memorial Day honors those who died in service to our nation; Veterans Day honors those Americans who have served in all wars; and Armed Forces Day honors those who currently serve. Any questions? This year, Memorial Day, established in 1971, is this Monday, May 27; Veterans Day, established in 1938 as Armistice Day and changed to Veterans Day in 1954, will be Monday, Nov. 11; and Armed Forces Day, established in 1949, was Saturday, May 18. That all being said, this Memorial Day I’d personally like to remember and thank my Uncle, Nathanial Clifford Wolf, who made the ultimate sacrifice five days before the end of WWII.

Fortunately for Dave, however, he’s made the short list for several other interim positions around the county that have kept him busy. Earlier this week, Kiff was named the interim or temporary city manager for Huntington Beach. They’re currently without, and their previous interim, Lori Ann Farrell Harrison, was just selected for the permanent job in Costa Mesa. Prior to that, Kiff served in Costa Mesa’s interim executive director role, and prior to that he was interim executive director for the Assn. of California Cities-Orange County. Boy, these government jobs sure create a lot of interim roles. In any case, good for Kiff. • • • So, do you watch the Bachelorette? You don’t have to admit it out loud. Anyway, last week three guys were eliminated, so I’m told. Two of the three were from Newport Beach. Matthew Spraggins, 23, and Connor Jenkins, 28, were both told by Bachelorette Hannah Brown that she was going to take a pass. Sorry boys. • • • The weather this weekend is not cooperating with Memorial Day and what’s commonly called our “kickoff” to summer. Temps are expected to be in the mid-60s, partly cloudy, with a 40 percent chance of rain Monday. All that being said, if you’re still going to head to the beach, think Balboa Peninsula Trolley. It officially begins its run this weekend. Hours are 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m. You can park for free in the Avon lot at Riverside Drive. The Trolley will get you all the way down as far as the Balboa Pier, with plenty of stops in between. And, it’s free. This is as close as we can • • • The end of the school year is within sight.

May 24 Take Five: Meet Laura Mayberry, Advanced Placement Kelley De Haven Cahill history teacher and official test reader By AMY SENK May 25 Last week, millions of high school students throughout the nation were finished with two Annie McMindes of the toughest weeks of the year: Advanced Placement exams. The classes, which Clint Raines sometimes count for college credits and show an incredibly deep knowledge of subjects ranging from foreign languages to calculus to history and more, will be graded on a scale Karen Benefield from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest. Corona del Mar High School history teacher Laura Kim Farthing Mayberry has been grading these exams for years, heading to one of five “reading sites” throughout the country, as one of about 17,000 readers who read the exams each year.

A: We are in our seats and reading by 8 a.m. every day, including weekends. Each day, we finish reading at 5 p.m. The main reading rooms where the operational exams are read are in large rooms – 65,000-80,000 square feet – within the 300,000-square-foot convention center. There are some smaller rooms used for alternate exam forms and the short answer sections. For the last several years, we had been housed in the Louisville, Ky. convention center, but for the past two years the reading was relocated to the convention center in Tampa, Fla., while the Louisville convention center underwent a massive remodel. This year, we will return to the Louisville location. All exams are not read (scored) at the same location. 801 Narcissus Ave., Corona del Mar With 38 AP courses offered by the College Board, the readings are staggered over the course 92625 of 2.5 weeks and five locations.

For more information, visit slated for June 1 at the Balboa Bay Club www.sessionswcd.com. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
