Why does it seem (rightly or wrongly) the City of Culver City always likes to tweak Fox Hills nose? I guess one of the main reasons is that area has approximately 5,000 people but no one has ever been elected to the City Council. They don’t have a soul to protect their rights’ and voice their concerns. Look at the new voting method coming soon. If one takes a survey to place the booths where oh where would city hall put it to maximize participation? Frankly, most would agree someplace in the mall was the first choice of many. But a place pushed by the possible uninformed actually seems to have more than a few raised hands – Grace Lutheran on Overland Avenue. But Grace has very limited parking and after the poll workers grab their slots… well keep your hiking boots handy.
How many remember the first three years of the Martin Luther King Committee met in a Culver City Park? Life is better but we have a long way to go. The city staff Dawn Melton and Arames White – Shearin are fantastic. What would you do? I read an article in our local newspaper (Brunswick News) recently. It seems in the not to distant future we just might have an election to eliminate property tax for those 65 and older. What would you do? Now Cousin Neil went to several Federal, State, County and City agencies asking then to double check my birth records. Guess What, in every case I’m on the right side of the line!!! But here in the Southeast property tax is 50 percent or there about the tax rate of California.

I and perhaps you as well have heard persistent rumors regarding females in Culver City Fire house. These mischaracterizations claim ladies are physically not up to the challenges of heavy equipment. The Culver City Senior Fire management should treat all applicants objectively and should immediately start physical training classes.
Throughout our country ladies are proud members of fire departments – thousands from Maine to California and Florida to Washington.
Perhaps; an article from the September 25, 2019 page 3A of the Brunswick, Georgia News will alleviate and put to rest the misconception floating around.
The headline, “Army Veteran served as firefighter”. The Veteran, Amanda Brewer was given 13 weeks of firefighting training before transferring to Goodfellow Air Force Base. Her training included responding to fires on military assets such as vehicles, aircraft, and structures. Other training included first aid and response to chemical fires and disasters. If Armanda Brewer with 13 weeks of training is good for the U.S. Army and National defense, then ladies should be good in Culver City!!!
