Three Culver City residents were attacked by two pit bulls that also injured another dog in San Francisco on Sunday morning, police said. The local residents -- two women, aged 43 and 18, and a 49-year-old man -- suffered bite wounds on their left hands. A 23-year-old female victim who lives in San Francisco "sustained bite wounds to her right hand," said San Francisco Police who are now seeking the two dogs and their owner/handler. Police has not released the names of the victims. The incident...
Just remember, “Our Gasoline Tanks” should not be Sacramento’s piggy bank. Perhaps you’ve heard, but I haven’t; what is happening with the prison at Guantanamo? When you are, hungry and want good food, large portions and reasonably priced – most people in the know thought of Norm’s on Pico near Westwood Blvd. Well as things happen, these days Norm’s is in the process of being torn down and I have no idea what is coming next. What a Shame. “Unprecedented, misguided, counter-productiv...
Like other Culver City residents, I love our town because of its sweet, little village feel, in the middle of the looming and vast Los Angeles metropolis. And when I think of maintaining Culver City's charm, during times of growth and change, the asset I most desperately want to hang on to is the sense that we are all neighbors. As a candidate for school board in 2015, I fell in love with the willingness of folks to open their door to me, and offer invaluable and incredibly enriching...
Just as exotic spices and Marco Polo were at the crossroads of civilization, importing culture today, as well as the films that influence our culture, can shape lives. Ideas can have a profound impact; impressions, dreams, data, images affect us long after we're first exposed. Remarkable film festivals have invaded, each hard to resist, and often, directly competing on the same night for our attention, hearts, and money. You can spend that money on drinks, or expensive food, or you can purchase...
With many cities and several counties suing the State of California over the so called "Sanctuary City" law, the Culver City Council voted 3-1-1 to back the state with what is known as an Amicus Brief in its fight against the Trump administration lawsuit. The item was placed on the agenda at the last minute on May 11 as a closed session item. It was reported out in general session and was addressed at the end of the session. Mayor Thomas Small, Vice Mayor Meghan Sahli-Wells and Councilman...
Culver City's Woman's Club raised money for trees by organizing a lake walk at Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, Baldwin Hills. Money donated to sponsor walkers will fund several acres of replanting trees in the California Penny Pines Reforestation program, which began in 1941. At that time, seedlings could be purchased for a penny each, hence the name "Penny Pines"; the forest service paid for the cost of site preparation and planting, while donations paid for the seedlings to be planted. Funds began to be used for additional reforestation...

To the Editor: Re: Outrage Continues; Residents Exploring Recall, May 10, 2018 My immediate reaction to Alex Fisch and Daniel Lee winning the two available council seats was to wonder if Meghan Sahli-Wells would have a coronation ceremony. Well, she did and now voters are “outraged”? Elections have consequences. (For the record, back in November 2010 I wrote a letter to the editor stating why I hoped Ms. Sahli-Wells would never be elected to the city council.) “Lying Daniel Lee” won fair an...
The battle for third place turned into the 2018 Ocean League baseball series of the year. All it took was splitting a pair of walk-off thrillers plus a do-or-die playoff win at Culver City High for the Centaurs to outlast a stubborn and much-improved Beverly Hills High squad. The 4-1 victory earned Culver an invitation to the CIF Southern Section Division 3 Playoffs. The Centaurs fell behind, tied the game, took the lead and added an insurance run to outlast the visiting Normans 4-1 on Friday,...

The No. 2 UCLA softball team will start the NCAA Tournament on Friday at home when they play Sacramento State inside Easton Stadium at 8 p.m. in the Los Angeles Regional.

They loss the first game of the series 3-0 but they rebounded and won the last two games 5-1 and 2-1. The 2-1 victory last Saturday...
It was my great pleasure to attend this year’s COLCOA (“City of Light City of Angels”) French Film Festival at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood. It ran from April 23 through April 30, and I packed 13 feature films (several accompanied by shorts) into the six days I went. As cinematic experiences go, it was tres magnifique. That pretty much exhausts my mastery of French, so thank God for subtitles. The first film I saw was Special Honors, the North American premiere of a TV movie...

Dear Editor, I am appalled, but not shocked, at the events that took place at the City Council meeting on 4/30/2018. Goran Eriksson was elected to serve on the Council by the people of this city and for this new Council who are trying to claim “unity” to start of the new term by doing the exact opposite is disgusting. The “rumor,” which hit before the meeting lets us know that this was in fact decided beforehand and that no matter who spoke, no matter what was said, and no matter what the fee...
The Los Angeles Chargers signed wide receiver Nelson Spruce, the organization announced on Monday. Spruce was an undrafted free agent signing by the Los Angeles Rams in 2016.

Spruce set 41 University of Colorado records (37 outright, four tied) and two Pac-12 Conference records as he exited his career as the most prolific receiver in school history. Among the top records he set were career marks for receptions (294), receiving...
