A big 21-gun salute to Herb and Diane Rosenberg, who reaffirmed their 50th anniversary vows on Saturday, January 9 at Temple Akiba. I first met Herb the night City Council appointed him to the Los Angeles International Airport Area Advisory Committee in the early ‘80s. If you have a good memory or if you are an old-timer, you will recall that City Hall met in trailers in the lot where the senior center is now located. A law passed in Texas, set to take effect on August 1 on the 50th a...
Most people like to be liked. No one wants to be thought of as rude. Whether you’re being rude, it’s like beauty; it must be in the eye of the beholder, don’t you think? Wait till you hear my story. I’m so interested in what you think. I was in a small local café. I like the place; I like the coffee, it’s primo. I like the décor, the color scheme, the ambiance. It feels right. I’m sitting there quietly reading. To my left a couple of people are silently playing chess with a timer. To my right t...

The USC men’s basketball team moved into a tie for first place in the Pac-12 when they beat UCLA 89-75 last week at UCLA. One of the main reasons they were able to defeat the Bruins was the play of freshman Chimezie Metu. Against the Bruins Metu, who played for Lawndale high school last year, made eight out of 10 shots while scoring 21 points. Some of the moves he made against the Bruins would make an NBA scout smile. He also recorded eight rebounds and he leads the team in block shots this season with 32. “He is learning the college gam...

Culver City fell short in its 16% goal in December by 2% of water savings yet remained ahead of the savings mandated by the State of California starting June 1, 2015. To date the city has saved 17.6%. The report was issued by Golden State Water.

During the last seven months (June-December 2015), its customers have saved nearly 8.5 billion gallons of the precious resource (compared to the same p...
