The season is still young, but the Culver City High School girls' varsity basketball team needs an identity check. The team has talent, but they are young and somewhat inexperienced. The 6-6 Lady Centaurs will need to grow up fast because in a few weeks they will start league play in a very good Bay League. Palos Verdes is currently 10-0, Mira Costa is 8-1, Redondo Union is 5-2 and although Santa Monica and Peninsula currently have losing records, they are always competitive. "The league is...
This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Los Angeles Rams, but they have surprised a lot of people with a hard fought 6-6 record. That record is keeping them in the playoff picture.

By Steve Finley It takes a special person to be a football kicker. Every game the pressure grows with every possession. The kicker and the holder are on an island all by themselves. From high school, college and the pros the kickers are expected to make field goals, extra points and in high school the kicker is also the punter most of the time. What makes Culver City high school's kicker and punter, Henry Brownlow so special is he is not only a great athlete, but he has taken his kicking game...
At Monday's City Council meeting, a seismic shift in city governance occurred, though if you blinked, you may have missed it. Buried inside a list of seemingly mundane proposed changes to the city's committees, boards and commissions (CBCs) was a clause to enable the removal of a CBC member "with or without cause... upon a majority vote of the City Council." The previous policy required a 4/5 vote, a much more difficult threshold to meet. The "Council majority," referring to Mayor Vera and Counc...
