Culver City police broke up an illegal street takeover near La Cienega and Jefferson Boulevards on Sunday morning and arrested a motorist on "ghost gun" charges. Shortly after midnight, police units responded to that area to prevent a possible takeover/sideshow, which triggered an exodus of cars in all directions, according to the Culver City Police Department. "As vehicles were leaving the area, one driver committed several hazardous moving violations," said CCPD in a Facebook post. After...

The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. on November 1, according to Culver City Police Department. Alerted by residents about a theft in progress, police arrived at the scene to find “three suspects attempting to steal a catalytic converter from the victim’s vehicle,” said CCPD in a statement. Police arrested one suspect immediately while the other t...
The Culver City Council has passed a new law designed to make housing and developments cheaper, help mom ’n’ pop restaurants get started, and make the neighborhoods more walkable. At its recent meeting, the Council voted 3-2 to eliminate minimum parking requirements citywide but the new ordinance “will not preclude the provision of parking.” The dissenting votes were cast by Vice Mayor Albert Vera and Councilman Goran Eriksson. Typically, cities require every gym and office, every retail...
As a lifelong Feminist/Progressive/Pro-choice Democrat, I am writing to ask you to vote by November 8th for Dan O’Brien and Denice Renteria for Culver City Council. I believe that in our nonpartisan local election, they are the leaders we need to represent our wonderful community. As members of the Creative Community (Dan is a film editor/director and Denice is a properties artist), both Dan O’Brien and Denice Renteria show through their actions that the way to bring people together and solve pr...
I’m writing to voice my strong and unwavering support for Alex Fisch in this critically important upcoming election for City Council here in Culver City. The actions the next council takes on the issues we face as a city; homelessness and our housing crisis, climate change, mobility and transportation and more, will leave a lasting imprint on our city and I am proud to support Alex for another term on our council, to help our city continue to lead our region and state on these issues and m...
I feel the need to share that Dan O'Brien, candidate for City Council for Culver City is incredibly responsive and involved with his residents and business owners in Culver City. I felt the need to approach him via email about a month ago to see if he would help us with our new Culver City Cuisine located in 5660 Selmaraine Dr. Not only is located at an isolated/industrial zone, but struggles with a few areas for improvement such homelessness, lighting zones, cleanliness, etc. I was not sure...
We are currently experiencing a ‘spiral of silence’ in Culver City. It can and should be stopped. In 1974, Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, a political scientist, coined the phrase ‘spiral of silence’ to describe a situation in which an individual’s willingness to express his or her opinion in public is a function of what he or she perceives the public opinion to be. More precisely, people who believe that they hold a minority viewpoint on a public issue will “remain in the background where their commu...
I decided not to run for Culver City Council this year for a few reasons. In the last election cycle for Culver City Council 2020, I received 2,163 votes which in previous off years would have been a very good showing. However, I was outspent by more than 15 to 1 by the winning candidates that year. I couldn’t compete against the money machines supporting their candidates of choice. I was told I was a “volatile” candidate and could not win. I asked a prominent Culver City resident why I was cons...
I feel compelled to canvass and support Dan O’Brien and Denice Renteria for the Culver City council race. They are the only candidates that can help turn the course of our city back into a safe community again. Never before have I felt so horrified by the actions of our current city council majority to let crime increase making our city unsafe. They have taken away the ability of our police to proactively police. Our community is filled with homeless encampments. Our downtown once beautiful i...
Measure BL, on Culver City’s November ballot, is a proposal to raise the annual business license tax on Culver City businesses based on what category the business falls into and its gross revenues. Because Culver City’s business license tax is based on the gross revenue of the business – not the profit from operations – a business could be operating at a loss but still receive a huge tax bill from the city. While the proposal exempts businesses with gross revenues below $200,000 annuall...

Etsuo was born on June 6, 1931, in Saitama, Japan, and he and his wife Mariko have been residents of Culver City, Calif., since 1965.

The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off their bye week and heading into Week 9 of the regular season with a 4-3 record and several key injuries to their top players. The Chargers could have used help at wide receiver or on the offensive line but were unable to strike a deal before the trade deadline on Tuesday at 1:00 PM. It can be difficult to find a trading partner and the price the Chargers would have paid in terms of draft capital and in salary cap space was likely to high for General...
When it comes to running fast, the UCLA Bruins football team is not lacking for speed. They have high school sprint champions in their backfield and even their quarterback, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, had a best time of 11.14 in the 100 meters in high school. They use the speed to put pressure on the opposing defenses. Then there is running back Zach Charbonnet. Charbonnet is not the fastest player in the Bruins backfield, but he is the best player in the backfield. On Saturday Night at the Rose...

Steven Allen Fox, Maxim Kuzin and Clyde Mitchell – all highly talented and experienced – will be featured during this coming winter-spring season. Community members will have the opportunity to make their own judgments about the artistic talents that each conductor could bring to the professional orc...
With six candidates campaigning to fill two open city council seats in Culver City, the political math to determine the result of six into two can be somewhat challenging. Candidates Devin M. Yaeger, Freddy Puza, Dan O'Brien, Kin Khin Gyi, Alex Fisch, and Denice Renteria comprise the foregoing equation. To clarify, the city council consists of five seats. Two are open since Councilmember Fisch's term is up, and Mayor Daniel Lee is not continuing. The councilmembers remaining are Göran...
It's that time of the year again when the high school football season starts to heat up. It's called the playoffs and for the 16th time in the last 17 years the Culver City varsity football team is in the prestigious CIF playoffs. The Culver City Centaurs travel to Placentia on Friday to try to clip the wings of the El Dorado Golden Hawks at 7 p.m. in the Division 6 playoffs. Coming off a 28-0 victory over rival Santa Monica on Senior night at Culver City last Friday the Centaurs hope to keep...
1. Philadelphia Eagles (6-0): The rich get richer. The Eagle acquired pass rusher Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears for a fourth-round draft pick in 2023. Quinn, 32, is a three-time Pro Bowler. With a top five offense and a top five defense, adding Quinn almost seems unfair. Next: -10.5 vs Pittsburgh Steelers – Sun, Oct. 30 – O/U: 43 (ATS: 4-2 – O/U: 3-3) 2. Buffalo Bills (5-1): The Bills are coming off a bye week with a deep squad and not much standing in their path to the AFC Champ...
