The good news on Tuesday night last week was that the Culver City High School varsity lacrosse team scored eight goals.
The bad news: They allowed Peninsula to score nine.
It sounds like a cliché, but the best offense truly is a great defense.
Bring Your Bedding to the Council Meeting to Vote on Entrada — Any Pillows for Sale?
Tonight’s 7 o’clock City Council meeting to debate the merits of the planned Entrada Officer Tower with neighbors on both sides of the street that divides southern Culver City from northern Westchester is threatening to be the longest, hottest argument in the history of City Hall.
Given the huge number of angry residents — on both sides of the line — who have promised to attend, Culver City’s leaders probably should have shifted the meeting out of Council Chambers and into the Coliseum.
Free the Bear: A Discussion with Kyle Ellis – Part 3
This week concludes my interview with Californians for Independence co-founder Kyle Ellis.
Frédérik: The movement for secession isn’t only based on grievances with the United States. As your website states, Californians for Independence is also about fostering a kind of Californian self-awareness, whether it’s the state’s history and culture or the need to vastly improve the quality of education. Can you describe these goals in more detail? How do these fit into your group’s drive for independence?
Why Does the City Council Violate Its Own Mandate?
Re Tonight’s City Council vote on whether to approve the proposed 220-foot Entrada Office Tower project
The placing of this 220-foot building at an intersection that is so over-traveled is an affront to the entire Culver City community.
While controlled development was the City Council's demand in and around Downtown, why does it violate its own mandate by allowing such a huge development?

We moved to the Riggs Place/ Westchester Bluff area in 2001. This is our third home in the Westchester area of Los Angeles.

Why It Is Crucial to Be in Council Chambers on Monday Night
Back in 1990, the voters of Culver City passed an initiative that limited the height of buildings in Culver City to 56 feet.
On Monday night, the City Council will be considering granting a developer an exception to this 56-foot height limit. This exception would allow the developer to construct a 220-foot office building. This is a building that will be four times the height limit passed by the voters of Culver City.
Even as the ordinance passed in 1990, the Council was looking for ways around the new law.
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day: Love, Laughter, and Charm
All too often, doe-eyes from across a room stand in for a credible romantic spark, and it’s only because we have to accept that two characters are in love that we indulge shallow characterizations. For plot’s sake, of course. But the cleverness of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day lies in its being both romantic and comic without obviously falling into the romantic comedy genre trap.
How a System Became Rigged
Down through the years people, knowing the
government has satellites and polygraphs
available, assumed that technical means have been used to investigate eyewitness reports on POWs/MIAs.
The polygraph is routinely used by the U.S. government for those in sensitive positions as it is used by Walmart/K-Mart to prevent employee theft.
But getting an eyewitness to a major war crime tested is near to impossible. If one is administered, a series of fallback positions are prepared in advance.
Denial of Officer’s Claim Will Take Explosive Case Out of Public View
[Editor’s Note: See earlier story, “Ex-Cop Slams Police Dept. ‘Abuse’ Under Cooke and All of His Successors,” March 12.]
Seeking to tamp down a potentially radioactive case that threatens to rattle the foundations of the Police Dept., City Atty. Carol Schwab has informed recently retired Police Lt. Greg Smith that she was rejecting his $250,000 claim for damages regarding overtime pay from six years ago.
