  • Joey Morgan Directs Employees In Culver City - Homeless No More

    Victoria Sun|Nov 12, 2009

    If only his mother, Artermease Jenkins, and his father, Vernon Ward Morgan, were alive to see Joey Morgan now. They would see a man who has overcome alcohol, drugs, gambling and poverty. They would see a hard-working man who loves his job, has his own apartment and is the proud owner of two trucks. While Morgan isn't living in the lap of luxury, he is finally rid of the demons and poor choices that have dragged him down most of his life. "I don't have to be ashamed of the fact of who I was before I evolved into the person I am today," says the...

  • School Board Debates Value Of Test Assessments

    Lynne Bronstein|Nov 12, 2009

    It was the next to last meeting of the lineup that has been the Culver City School Board for the last two years and there seemed to be a sense that old business should not hang over for the new Board that convenes on December 8. One such issue is the validity of student assessment tests, which came up Tuesday night during a presentation by El Rincon Elementary Principal Dr.Tom Tracy. Tracy was “taking [the Board] on a tour of [his] school,” with a PowerPoint presentation showing the typical cha...

  • USC In Rose Bowl? It's Possible

    Mitch Chortkoff|Nov 12, 2009

    Contrary to popular belief, it’s possible USC can represent the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl Game this season. The Trojans’ chances seemed to end with losses to Washington and Oregon, but a three-way tie for first place is possible, and the tiebreaker system favors the Trojans. As we were waiting for Coach Pete Carroll to begin his weekly press session Tuesday in Heritage Hall, Trojan radio announcer Pete Arbogast explained the situation to several writers. If USC defeats Stanford Saturday, then als...

  • Kobe May Be Better Than We Thought

    Mitch Chortkoff|Nov 12, 2009

    It’s staggering to realize what’s been going on with Kobe Bryant lately. He’s the reigning MVP of the NBA playoffs, which means he’s been recognized as perhaps the best basketball player in the world. Only LeBron James would have a legitimate claim otherwise. But in the first few weeks of the Lakers’ season Bryant has done something even he never did before. He’s a guard who has taken on the challenge of being an almost unstoppable post player. In the absence of injured centers Andrew Bynum and...

  • Four Straight Championships Again

    Nov 12, 2009

    Culver City High football coaches Jahmal Wright and Aki Wilson have a unique perspective on the Centaurs’ two four-peats. Four-peat, as in four consecutive Ocean League titles, which the Centaurs accomplished last Friday with a 49-0 victory over Hawthorne. The win assured Culver City of at least a tie for the league title, and the Centaurs (8-1 overall, 4-0 league) can clinch the title outright with a victory on Friday at Beverly Hills. The only other time the Centaurs won four consecutive league titles, from 1991 to 1994, Wright, the C...
