  • Culver Looks to Take Next Step Towards Ocean League Title

    Larry Weiner and Greg Goodyear|Oct 20, 2016

    Two years ago Culver City lost 49-0 to the Santa Monica Vikings. Last year the Centaurs returned the favor by spanking Santa Monica by the same score. This year the Centaurs have a chance to secure a piece of the Ocean League title if they beat the Vikings on Senior Night and then finish their season with a win at Beverly Hills next Friday night against the winless Normans. Last week Culver City beat Hawthorne 62-35. Early in the fourth quarter we lead only 42-35 before rolling off 20...

  • Brilliant Managing Allowed Dodgers To Win Playoff Series

    Mitch Chortkoff|Oct 20, 2016

    Walter Alston’s 20 years as the Dodger manager and Tommy Lasorda’s 20 years brought a lot of joy to Los Angeles fans. Now Dave Roberts has done something to bring more joy. Roberts’ brilliant strategy in the seventh game of the 2016 first round playoff series against the Washington Nationals allowed the Dodgers to reach the next round. Of course the Chicago Cubs are heavily favored to eliminate the Dodgers and deprive them of their first World Series appearance since 1988. But fans can dream...

  • What's Money After All?

    Carole Bell|Oct 20, 2016

    I’ve been thinking about money. Might be we need to change our attitude toward money. $1.1 billion. Money raised so far by candidates in the 2016 Presidential election. $529 million. Money raised so far by super PAC's supporting those candidates. These figures are the latest FEC figures released October 11, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan, nonprofit tracking money in U.S. politics, and its effect on elections and public policy. What's a super PAC anyway? It's a t...

  • Lawndale Knocks Culver Out Of First Place

    Fred Altieri|Oct 20, 2016

    On a wind-chilled October moonlit evening at Lawndale High the Culver City High football team took one on the chin as the Centaurs lost to the Cardinals, 45-33. Marred by penalties and frequent interruptions the game lasted over three hours... three hours of spirited tackling, explosive plays and very, very hard hitting. "Lawndale was very assertive and consistent. We would get a tackle for loss and get a couple of stops but they just stayed with the run. They believed in it and ultimately were...

  • Rams Lose A Close One Again

    Fred Altieri|Oct 20, 2016

    The Los Angeles Rams' offense came to life in Detroit this past Sunday with quarterback Case Keenum having his best game of the season. Unfortunately for the Rams the defense faltered late as the Lions' Matt Prater kicked the winning field goal with 1:29 remaining in the game to win 31-28. For the second consecutive game the Los Angeles defense failed to stop the eventual game-winning drive in the fourth quarter after having won the previous three games in the same manner. The Rams had leads of...

    Oct 20, 2016

    Imagine being born with a hearing loss, but not having it diagnosed for eight years. Comedian Kathy Buckley knows that all too well when she was put in school for retardation for two years, before her parents realized she simply could not hear. As she states “there is nothing wrong with being deaf but there is everything wrong with not being able to communicate.” Now those suffering from hearing loss have a voice, it’s their own. Thanks to Dr. Michelle Christie who as a speech-therapist, recognized that the needs of children with hearing loss...
