Bomberos Without Borders

Herb McElwee is an ambulance chaser, and he not only admits it, but he’s very proud of it. The former Montecito Fire District Fire Chief says, since 1990, he has been in hot pursuit of ambulances, along with fire trucks, fire hoses, or any other kind of fire equipment that might be heading into retirement. Once targeted, McElwee rescues the out-of-commission apparatus, and then arranges for it to be donated to communities in Mexico. Read story.

The Story of O, O, and O.J.

/home/html/media/img/news/tease/2007/10/05/jamy_girl.jpg

Last month, when Oprah Winfrey hosted a political lawn party for Barack Obama and nearly 2,000 people at her home in Montecito, I pretty much flipped my little red wig. I’m a big fan of Oprah’s, but what ignited me on this particular occasion is why she, or anybody else, would be able to circumvent a zoning ordinance that prohibits parties of more than 300 people at any private Montecito residence.
