  • Gleaming City Council Cat Fight

    Oct 27, 2014

    As Shriver tries to move up to Supervisor, Gleam Davis decides to scratch out his eyes, while Holbrook defends him. The contest for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor seat left open by the retirement of Zev Yaroslavsky took a nasty turn this week, starting with an “open letter” by Santa Monica Councilmember Gleam Davis. Davis’s letter trashes Bobby Shriver, who’s running for the Supervisor seat. It was distributed to media outlets by the campaign for Shriver’s rival, Sheila Kuehl. Kuehl has been a longtime member of the Californi...

  • Aviation Groups Give More Than $500,000 to Save SM Airport

    Oct 27, 2014

    Two influential aviation organizations have contributed more than half a million dollars to support a Santa Monica ballot measure that would halt efforts to shut down the city’s airport until the public can vote on future proposals to close the embattled facility, long a source of complaints from nearby residents. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Assn. and the National Business Aviation Assn. have donated at least $540,000 so far to the campaign for Measure D, which, supporters say, is a reaction to a City Council decision to develop a ...

  • LETTERS

    Oct 27, 2014

    How to Lose Control of “Our Land” The Yes on Measure LC Committee loudly complain that, if voters closed the airport under the terms of Measure D, nothing in that measure directly addresses the development process that would follow. This is true and it was done by intention - not by omission. Unlike Measure LC, Measure D does not attempt to skirt existing land use regulations in Santa Monica. As City Attorney Marsha Moultrie has noted on numerous occasions, the City already has in place robust processes and regulations that govern the dev...

  • Rookie Randle's Broken Leg Devastates Lakers

    Mitch Chortkoff, Sports Editor|Oct 27, 2014

    By Mitch Chortkoff Sports Editor He's 19 years old, one of the most talented players the Lakers have and on the NBA season's opening night Julius Randle broke his right leg. The Lakers figured to have a difficult season. Now it looks more difficult. Randle drove to the basket in the fourth quarter of a 108-90 loss to the Houston Rockets, his leg buckled and he grabbed it. Team doctors on the scene at Staples Center said Randle suffered a broken tibia and a six-month recovery would likely be...

  • Injured Nash Won't Play For Lakers This Season

    Mitch Chortkoff, Sports Editor|Oct 27, 2014

    By Mitch Chortkoff Sports Editor Steve Nash is one of the best point guards ever to play in the NBA. He's been MVP twice and ranks third all-time in assists. Unfortunately for the Lakers, Nash did his remarkable work before he signed here at the age of 38. In two Laker seasons he played in only 65 games, 50 the first year and 15 last season as he was unable to ward off a back injury. Last week the Lakers and Nash jointly announced he won't play this season. He didn't announce his retirement, pre...

  • MOVIE REVIEW: HORNS

    debbie lynn elias|Oct 27, 2014

    Some guys just have a thing for snakes and it seems that our favorite parseltongue speaking Daniel Radcliffe is no different. In his new film, the devilishly delicious HORNS from director Alexandre Aja, Radcliffe flexes his serpentine skills yet again, this time as the young Ig Perrish. A supernatural thriller that in almost genre-bending fashion melds the battle of good versus evil with tines of fantasy, romance, a noirish murder mystery and even a little gothic flair, this decadent delight is...
