PRIME WATCHER: Two dozen local women told ABC-TV’s “Prime Time Live” as a group last year that former Tustin gynecologist Ivan C. Namihas had sexually molested them. Namihas denies it, and the show aired after local prosecutors said it was too late to charge him. The women’s efforts paid off. . . . An executive in the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles watched the show with interest. Result: A year later, federal prosecutors have charged Namihas with mail fraud related to false billing.

NEW FIRE FACE? If you live in Westminster, you’ve likely seen the dramatic cover on the city’s brochure for signing up for its paramedic subscription program. It shows a firefighter, face blackened with soot, carrying a child clutching her teddy bear out of a burning house. But you won’t see it anymore. . . . That firefighter, Paul Gilbrook, was fired recently. He argues it was for his activities as president of the Westminster Firefighters Union. The council says it was for other reasons. New brochures will be sent out to residents soon.

BY DESIGN: KLOS-FM radio (95.5) is giving you an extra reason for participating in its annual, weeklong blood drive, which starts Monday in Santa Ana: You get a free T-shirt. . . .

The local American Red Cross chapter’s Judy Iannaccone, above, says you can donate at its office at 600 Parker Center Drive in Santa Ana.
