  • Eckhaus and Miller Top All-Ocean League Football Selections

    Larry Weiner and Greg Goodyear|Apr 16, 2020

    Last year Culver City football hit another historic milestone when they went to their third CIF Semi-Final in a row. Obviously, after the success of the CIF Championship of 2018, many people hoped for back-to-back championships and a State title. Unfortunately the Centaurs had an aberration, committing five turnovers during their semi-final loss to St. Paul thwarting their chance for a second straight CIF Divisional title. After the end of the season, the coaches met to vote on the All-Ocean...

  • Easter 2020 Was Painful to Watch

    Apr 16, 2020

    BY Janet McLaughlin Watching my church celebrate Palm Sunday this year was painful. Every year, a crowd gathers on the church steps, gathering palms. We wave them as we process into the church singing; in commemoration of Jesus' triumph into Jerusalem. This year the church was dark. The priests were alone. While I was grateful that they live streamed the Mass, it hurt more than I thought. There was no communal confession on Tuesday, when a dozen priests in white robes march in, and hear...

  • Your Sanitizer or Your Life,

    Sandra Coopersmith, Features Writer|Apr 16, 2020
    2

    Along with many other seniors, my highly touted golden years seem to be transforming into iron pyrite (fool’s gold), thanks to COVID-19. True Story. I was in the market a few days ago and saw two women fighting over a couple bars of soap. Shades of that old Jack Benny “Your Money or Your Life” skit! Forget about money, it’s now soap, sanitizer, toilet paper, and similar hard won acquisitions. I got out of that aisle fast, yearning for the days when civility was more prevalent and the shelves...

    Apr 16, 2020

If passed, the ballot...
