Costa Mesa resident Gabriella Hahn did not know Sara Noel Harris who was killed in last weekend’s car crash, but she wanted to pay tribute to her by decorating Adams Avenue with pink ribbons. She decided to cancel that plan, though, when Costa Mesa police advised her that it could lead to trouble with opponents of the memorial.
Newport Beach police reminded drivers with five or more unpaid parking tickets to pay up or a tow truck might grab their car.
The DMV can suspend your license if the fines haven’t been paid for more than a year.
SPORTS
The Stanley Cup stopped in Costa Mesa Monday for a two-hour pit stop at the nonprofit community agency Share Our Selves before heading back to its permanent home at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. The storied trophy traveled the world with the champion Anaheim Ducks last summer, but made one of its last appearances in Southern California this year in Costa Mesa.
EDUCATION
If the teens who attended a “Keep Your Teen Safe” program sponsored by Newport Beach police and school officials this week weren’t convinced before about the importance of driving safely, then it’s a pretty sure bet they changed their minds when they heard what happened to Gillian Sabet.
Sabet was killed in a car wreck on her way to the prom a few years ago in Newport Beach.
Gillian’s parents offered the cautionary tale to help spare others the pain they suffered.
Parents and teens also heard tips on how to avoid danger on the Internet and the perils of drug and alcohol abuse.
