Police FilesBurglar gets away with $103,000 in jewelry
A forced entry residential burglary on Bridgeport Road last Thursday, March 14, was verycostly to residents. Sometime between 10:30 a.m. and 8:22 p.m., a burglar took jewelry andother 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,crossing a glass fence where fingerprints were left. He or she then used a barbeque to gainaccess to the second floor where a sliding glass door was shattered.
There was no surveillance camera or eyewitnesses.The Newport Beach Police Department continues to investigate.
Late night meth arrest leads to big-time bailIf you want to talk about a bad day, go no further than Christine Marie Wells, 30, of
Wilmington. Wells was a passenger in a vehicle that the Newport Beach Police pulled over onFriday, 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 hername, 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.
Ride a bike on the sidewalk and this time go to jailA 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, theystopped 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 metalknuckles, 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 ofnarcotics for sale.
He was booked on $20,000 bail.Scroll down to Police Beat for all arrests & crime report
Fair GameBy TOM JOHNSON
Spring is here and so are the AnteatersSpring 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 onthe equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal.”
Or, also called the Vernal or March Equinox, “when the suncrosses 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 yearwith 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, StaceyAugmon and Greg Anthony.
Back to UCI. They play a great team game. In the most recent Big West ConferenceChampionships 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 MaxHazard lit it up from three-point land in the finals against Fullerton and Robert Cartwrightsaved 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 wonthe Big 12.
One common opponent is Texas A&M. UCI beat the Aggies 74-73, while Kansas Statelost to them 65-53.
The Anteaters are playing in the South bracket, with the victor playing the winner ofWisconsin – Oregon on Sunday.
Go Eaters!• • •
Trees on Marine Avenue in Balboa Island may soon be destined for the woodpile as theCity looks at infrastructure upgrades.
Obviously, residents don’t want to lose the eucalyptus. However, there is concern thatthe trees’ root system is being supported by the surrounding, but aging pavement andconcrete.
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!

Click on photo for a larger imageDick Dale headlining the Rendevous Ballroom
Dick Dale, known as the “The King of the Surf Guitar,” died Saturday, March 16.Dale was a local legend, filling the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa with 3 - 4,000
people for surfer dances in the 1960s.His songs included his signature single “Misirlou” and “Let’s Go Trippin.” His first full-
length album was Surfers’ Choice produced in 1962, which was later picked up anddistributed nationally by Capitol Records. His next album was King of the Surf Guitar.
Dale’s songs were featured in Beach Party, starring Frankie Avalon and AnnetteFunicello in 1963 and Back to the Beach in 1987.
“Misirlou” was the famous lead-in song through the opening credits to the movie PulpFiction in 1994.
Dale was married twice, first to Jeannie Monsour, a Las Vegas dancer and then to Lana,who would become his manager.
At one point, Dale owned what is commonly known as the Gillette house on the end ofthe Peninsula.
He was named to the Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach in 2011 and theMusicians Hall of Fame in Nashville in 2009.
Dale was 81 years old.

Energy and calm to go...CdM’s Jessica Frandson’s latestbusiness venture puts her stamp on aromatherapy
By AMY SENKJessica Frandson of Corona del Mar calls herself – accurately – a serial entrepreneur.
Born with a creative streak, courtesy of her Laguna Beach family of artists, early on she pairedthat with an uncanny eye for business. Spotting the juice bar trend in high school (she wrote abusiness plan for her own), then spending more than 20 years at Simple Green, she workedher way up to head of marketing. She opened Inkwells Paperie in CdM, then created theTwistband hair tie. When she sold that business, she created a staging company for realestate agents. Somewhere in the middle, she opened a popup holiday gift shop in CdM,remodeled her home and put it on the Corona del Mar High School PTA Home Tour.Frandson has always found a way to combine her senses of style and business, all whileraising her daughter with her husband.
Her most recent venture is Campo Beauty, a business she created with her best friendin Texas, that combines aromatherapy with her sleek, minimal design aesthetic.
Click on photo for a larger imageCourtesy of Campo Beauty
Entrepreneur Jessica FrandsonCampo was born when Frandson visited her friend, Jill King, and the two noticed they
had the same perfume. They began to compare notes, and King brought out a journal she’dkept since college with recipes using essential oils. They decided to combine interests, andforces, to create the Campo brand, with an eye toward an upscale market rather than a boringitem on a shelf in a “crunchy, wellness health food store.”
“If Tom Ford and Apple had a baby and wanted to do essential oil, what would that looklike?” Frandson said. “Minimal. Black and white. We studied the art of perfume. We sourcedfrom the very best fields. We don’t skimp on ingredients. We said, ‘Let’s make it intoxicating.Let’s make in portable…’”
The Campo product line includes oils, diffusers and even smudge sticks that can“cleanse, purify (and) clear negative energy,” according to the company’s website. The oils,some of which come in tiny bottles with built-in rollers for easy application, are aimed to helpyou sleep, or focus, relax or find a boost of energy. The diffusers come in three colors, or youcan choose a travel version that is USB powered. Prices start at $15 for the smudge sticks,

with the oils around $25 and up.According to Frandson, the two women have a divide-and-conquer approach to work,
with Jill doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work, and both of them collaborating on formulasand sourcing the best quality ingredients. Frandson is detail-oriented. The bottles, forexample, are violet glass from the Netherlands, which block all harmful light that might affectthe oils inside. New products are constantly in the works – and a sleep line was recentlylaunched. The women are considering creating a coffee table book that would featurephotographs of the beautiful fields in Europe, where they find the sources for their naturalscents.
Besides the online store (www.campobeauty.com), the products are sold at LagunaSupply, Anthropologie, J Crew and are featured at the Four Seasons, the Lido House andMarriott hotel properties. It may be a fun partnership fueled by two longtime girlfriends, but itmost definitely isn’t a hobby.
“Any business I start, I must love the idea, and it has to be a lucrative venture out of thegate,” Frandson said. “Campo has been profitable from the start as a result of creating abeautiful collection with healthy profit margins, having an amazing sales team, timing andkeeping the operating costs down by wearing a lot of hats.”
