In the words of Yogi Berra, it was like déjà vu all over again. In 1962 when I was in my 20s and sported long hair and a bohemian look, I spent a few hours sitting in an upper row of a makeshift theatre on a set in Los Angeles, playing an audience member in “Wild Guitar,” a teen-idol/beach party movie starring Arch Hall Jr. I was instructed to make a frenzied run to the stage since I was portraying someone smitten by the lead’s performance as a budding rock star. It was a hoot, but since p...

The Senate Judiciary Committee on a 7-0 vote passed a bill by Sen. Holly J. Mitchell, D-Culver City to end based on hairstyles. Senate Bill 188 amends the Fair Employment and Housing Act to prohibit employers from enforcing purportedly "race neutral" grooming policies that according to Mitchell disproportionately impact persons of color. While federal anti-discrimination laws explicitly defend the choice to wear an afro, they are silent with regard to braids, locs, and twists, known...
By Benjamin Corburn Kid Scoop Media Correspondent, age 12 Bernie Sanders is a top 2020 Democratic candidate and it is clear he is making California a top priority. I had the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes as a member of the press covering the Bernie Sanders rally. It was March 23, 2019 and I was heading to Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles CA. Doors opened at 2:30pm for general population, but this was my first time as a member of the press, and I needed to be there by noon. It was...

The Los Angeles Lakers were officially eliminated last Friday from the playoffs. They have been on a downhill spiral for the last few weeks. Two of their starters, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball are still injured and the team is still looking for the light at the end of the free agent tunnel. That's the bad news. The good news is this is still the Lakers town. Fans still pack the Staples Center regardless of whom the Lakers are playing or who the Lakers put on the court. "The fans are awesome,"...
Last year, LAFC enjoyed success in their inaugural season at Banc of California Stadium. During the regular MLS season they won nine of 17 home matches and lost only once. Yet the seven draws at home, many due to failing to protect the lead, was a precursor to their unexpected 3-2 opening loss to Real Salt Lake in the playoffs. That has all changed in 2019 through four games. The success is still there with LAFC winning all three home games and leading the Western Conference with 10 points....
The UCLA softball team will be looking to move into the 30 win category this weekend when the Bruins play the University of California on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. UCLA is the No. 1 team in the nation and they come into the weekend games with a record of 29-1. This season the Bruins appear to have no weaknesses. Their pitching is outstanding, their hitting is excellent and their defense is very good. The knock on the Bruins the last few years is that have they had only one solid reliable...
Dear Editor, As a 20 year Culver City resident, I understand the concerns of others that the use of drones may result in problems. However, as a former prosecutor, I have seen that when drones are used according to strict policies, they are effective and can be lifesavers. There was a time when dash cams in police vehicles and body cameras worn by officers in the field were severely criticized. In due course, and speaking from my experience as a trial attorney, the use of evidence obtained from...
