A backed-up sewer main sent nasty fumes into the air around the intersection of Lucerne and Duquesne avenues on Friday, Nov. 12, reportedly forcing a few people from their homes to escape the stench. The Public Works Department dispatched a team to the intersection and quickly cleared the blockage, a department spokesman said, and the foul odors were likely released after the sewer was cleared. Residents in the area who decided to stay in their homes faced a dilemma: Would it be better to open their doors and windows in an effort to let the...

The center is run with the help of local nonprofit housing organizations and mortgage-related companies. A key obj...
The roller coaster ride that has been the Culver City High football team’s 2010 season is on the rise. The Centaurs, who have been up and down all season, hit a high point last Friday when they defeated Beverly Hills 49-34 in their regular-season finale to clinch a CIF playoff spot. It was a game they had to win to make the postseason, and Culver City came up with one of its best offensive performances of the season when it needed it most. Culver City’s defense also came up big, as the Centaurs built a 36-7 lead and held off a rally by Bev...
Maurice Jones is 5-foot-7, a freshman from Michigan and a key player for the USC basketball team this season. This is what I like best about college basketball. A newcomer can arrive and make an immediate impact. On the team. USC is particularly interesting now as it comes back from NCAA trouble regarding guard O.J. Mayo. New coach Kevin O’Neill has proven adept at fixing broken programs and the Trojans were 16-14 last season despite numerous player defections. It looked like the team could b...
It happened in the NFL this season and now it’s happening in the NBA. The teams expected to dominate aren’t doing that. and others are doing surprisingly well. When the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs played for first place the game hadn’t been chosen for national television. In the NBA the Miami Heat were pre-season favorites but lost four of their first nine games. The Lakers got off to an 8-0 start but lost their next two to Denver and Phoenix. I don’t know anyone who expected New Orle...
