The Culver offense scored five...

In November vote for our firefighters, our paramedics and our police and against the power-grabbing politicians who just want their $250,000 salaries and $200,000 pensions. It seems as though in every area of the human experience ladies are making headway. More and more jobs are becoming available and the salary gap is narrowing. Why, even the U.S. Navy SEALS will have females next year. So why is it that in the Culver City fire house in the past 100 years no progress has been made? That’s r...

However, a first-and-goal at the West High five-yard line only resulted in a 23-yard field goal that left the visiting Centaurs one point shy victory as they lost to Warriors, 34-33. With playoff-like intensity the momentum swung mightily several times on opening night of CIF Football at Fred Peterson Stadium in Torrance on Friday night,...

But this week another contender in the acting race steps into the Oscar ring with Jonathan Jakubowicz' HANDS OF STONE and two knockout...
Let's just cut to the chase. BEN-HUR is masterful! A spectacle worthy of Cecil B. DeMille but with a story that is more grounded and layered with softer, nuanced, more human emotional performances that go beyond the visual (and visceral) experience and elevate the film into an eye-opener for the heart. Majestic in scope and message, what director Timur Bekmambetov and company have done is deliver a film for the ages. Being the classic film devotee that I am, and as my regular readers and...

Head Coach Jahmal Wright is very excited about this year's Culver City High's defensive unit. The defense is lead by a plethora of fast, speedy athletes in the secondary, as well as some athletic newcomers on the defensive line.

DEFENSIVE LINE: Jr. Justin Berry (6'2 215) will be a first time starter on defense but got honorable mention from the coaches as a sophomore OL. He...

Without a doubt the City of Inglewood defied the odds that enabled the city to become the ultimate choice of the Los Angeles Rams when they relocated back to Southern California this past January 2016. Having guided Inglewood back from financial desperation to solvency, the City Council has effectively proven itself over the past five consecutive years. Highlights include every budget balanced with a surplus in 2015. The city's reserves more than tripled from $11 million in 2011 to $38 million...
