POLA High Softball Aims To Repeat Their Success Of 2011

Posted by Jamaal Kellen Street on February 22, 2012 at 1:52am 0 Comments

The Port Of Los Angeles High softball team will begin their season on Friday in the Redondo Union Tournament, and with that opener against Marymount, it begins another incredible journey.

Last year, the Polar Bears would make a marvelous run in a year of firsts... a dominating run to the Crosstown League championship, followed by becoming the first team in the history of POLA to claim a CIF-Los Angeles City Section championship, when they edged Northridge Academy, 2-0 last May to earn that distinction for the Small Schools Division title.…

The Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) for the Clearwater Program has been released today.

Construction would begin in 2016.

There are four alternatives being considered.

SPHS Boys Basketball Doesn't Need Extra Time, Makes Quick Work Of Jordan

Posted by Jamaal Kellen Street on February 18, 2012 at 2:00am 0 Comments

In the prior two seasons, the San Pedro High boys basketball team would open off the CIF-Los Angeles City Section playoffs by going overtime to defeat Bell in 2010, and then Kennedy of Granada Hills last season. Their first round opponent this season, Jordan of Los Angeles, took the Pirates to overtime before losing earlier in the year.

San Pedro wasted little time in taking care of business for four quarters the second time around.

Only trailing 7-6 with 5:32 left in the first quarter after opening off the game scoring the first six points, the host Pirates…

Warning about "scam" phone calls this week

Posted by Marlene Bauman on February 17, 2012 at 4:24pm 0 Comments

A couple of my neighbors each got a new SCAM call: "Hello, grandma? It's ME, your grandson".... "oh, really? I forgot your name, what is it?" "Oh come on grandma!" "Well, my grandson is 18months old you little creep and I'm calling the police!"  (click........)

This happened to TWO of my neighbors, who just both happen to be retirees and they BOTH have phone & cable bundled through the same, our local cable company. One caller claimed to be a nephew. The phone numbers were blocked so these ladies couldn't get any info, unless they would have somehow played a long.



Please warn your family & friends, specially those who are seniors. We hear way too often that they slip up and give info of some kind to these people, not…

Two Playoff Wins In One Day For POLA High Basketball Teams

Posted by Jamaal Kellen Street on February 15, 2012 at 12:30pm 0 Comments

The Port Of Los Angeles High boys and girls basketball teams played their opening CIF-Los Angeles City Section Small Schools Division playoff games on the same day, at the same site, against the same opponent, and both got their desired result.

Sophomore Angela Wade scored 19 points to lead the No.14 POLA girls to a 55-30 victory over No.19 USC-Magnet at Peck Park. Freshman Mayan Rodriguez and junior Noemi Rodriguez each scored 8 points.

The Lady Bears (12-9) will next face third-seeded Sherman Oaks CES on the road Thursday in the second round.

Meanwhile, the tenth-seeded POLA boys team would jump to a big lead early before eventually holding off No.23…

South Shores Homeowner's meeting 1/24/2012 - Follow up 2/16/12

Posted by Marlene Bauman on February 16, 2012 at 9:52am 2 Comments

The annual HOA matters were taken care of between approximately 6:30pm and 7:00 pm.

Afterwards a Deputy Engineer for the city gave a brief summary of the status of the slide on Paseo Del Mar. They are still monitoring the slide and adjoining area. The rep was asked by a homeowner just what "options" there might be for repairing the damaged area, but no answer is available yet. Many homeowners felt that the city will just go with the cheapest option, which is nothing. The group acknowledged that the chances are, if there are no funds for rebuilding or re-routing the road at the slide location, the City Council cannot do anything about the matter. The full report can be found at:

POLA High Girls Soccer Takes Care Of Business In Opening Round Rout

Posted by Jamaal Kellen Street on February 17, 2012 at 1:30am 0 Comments

It was the first test in the CIF-Los Angeles City Section playoffs for Port Of Los Angeles High girls soccer, and they passed with flying colors.

Proving that their undefeated regular season was legit, the Polar Bears would not ease up against visiting Orthopedic in the opening round of the Small Schools Division playoffs, as they rolled to a dominating 5-0 victory at Daniels Field. Junior forward Nikki Bonilla would turn a 2-0 halftime lead in the opening moments of the second half by scoring two lightning quick goals to clinch their 15th consecutive win.

Frisbee fines story clarified - Frisbees NOT banned

Posted by Marlene Bauman on February 10, 2012 at 8:34am 0 Comments

The reported “Frisbee Ban” is actually a misunderstanding, somehow perpetuated by social media, news sources etc… It appears that the intended rule or change to rules, was to allow officials/lifeguards etc, to designate areas at any given time for Frisbee tossing and other sports, based upon conditions at the beach.

The Daily Breeze has the corrected information in their paper today and on their website.

Please read:

SPHS Girls Soccer Posts Gritty Opening Playoff Victory

Posted by Jamaal Kellen Street on February 17, 2012 at 2:00am 0 Comments

It was complete determination for San Pedro High girls soccer. Consider the first round loss of last year as an afterthought... lightning wasn't going to strike twice.

Behind two goals from senior midfielder Emily Pulido, the host Pirates were able to hold off a young, hungry team from Hamilton of Los Angeles in the first round of the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division I playoffs with a 2-0 victory that averted the possibility of two consecutive opening round exits.

Pulido would score in the 7th and 51st minutes of this game off assists by junior forward…

"Giant Voice" system to be tested weekly!

Posted by San Pedro News Pilot on February 17, 2012 at 2:49pm 0 Comments

Commencing March 1, the Ft Mac Giant Voice system will be tested every Thursday @ 11 a.m. weekly, according to Peggy E. Hodge of the USAF.

The test will coincide with the Giant Voice test on LAAFB proper. The Command Post may adjust the date for conducting system-wide testing. 

"Lack of testing is one of the factors of the demise of the last system, and we want procedures in place to systematically ensure the system is functional."

Rancho Park Mail Delivery

I'm not new to Rancho Park, but I am new to the route around the mall. I'm sure you all have seen me walking around in your neighborhood. I just want you all to know that the mail carriers in your neighborhoods have been put through so much. Honestly, I think the people making these drastic changes in the postal service are doing it purposely to get what they need from Congress. It's all political and we the mail carriers are the frontline....so we get the bulk of complaints.

I'm not sure…
