If you can’t go around them, go over them, two Los Angeles County Lifeguard dorymen decided when a San Clemente lifeguard dory got in their way in Sunday’s races during the International Surf Festival. See More stories and photos inside. Photo by Ray Vidal |
SEEING RED: A Redondo Beach fire fighter evidently thought he was entitled to park a department SUV in a handicap spot while attending the Surf Festival Six-Man Volleyball tournament in Manhattan Beach over the weekend. Manhattan police thought otherwise. When the fire fighter protested the $300 ticket he found on his truck’s windshield to a Manhattan Beach police officer, the police officer told the fire fighter he had one minute to move the car. Otherwise the officer was calling Frank Scotto towing. The fire fighter drove off fuming, according to witnesses.
HECK OF A GAL: Reporters covering that whole Roger Clinton thing gathered outside the Torrance courthouse to flock around his high-profile attorney Mark Geragos, who has been popping up all over the TV screen commenting on various matters in the news. After soaking him for info about Clinton’s case, one enterprising reporter asked for comment on "the Gary Condit situation." Geragos complied, saying that Condit’s wife "is an amazing woman."
SIGNS OF THE TIMES: A temporary sign outside the Torrance courthouse on Monday listed 20 items that people are not allowed to bring inside, including handcuffs, forks, martial arts items, corkscrew drivers, drugs, and the good old-fashioned nail file. Once inside the courthouse, visitors were met with another sign: "Shoes must be worn in the building at all times."
