“We believe there could very well be more arrests. We don’t know in

“I never thought I’d do something like this. I’m just thankful

Scott was in there with me. I’m thankful we survived and thankful

an encounter in a bank with an armed man. Andelin and Grecco had to

“We want this community center to be well utilized. We don’t want

it to be under-parked. Since the pad for the library isn’t going to

planned for Newport Coast, where the amount of parking is at issue.

approved a $90,000 contract to determine the source of the

pollutants.

“We don’t know which schools have the needs. It just turned out

that TeWinkle Middle School needed them, so we directed them over

there.”

District, on the district donating eight computers to TeWinkle.
