The Courier took off from Cable Airport in Upland this week for a single-engine plane ride to the Pacific Ocean and back. We looped past the Santa Monica Pier, weaving through a maze of air traffic — planes, helicopters, and even drones — to capture this bird’s-eye view of the Los Angeles basin.

Claremont has enjoyed some excellent weather with clear skies and high temperatures around 70-75 degrees. With no haze or pollution, we literally could see for miles and miles. That will change on Thursday, when about two inches of rain will fall from an intense, fast moving storm. Courier photo/Peter Weinberger
A massive, hulking piece of metal dating back to the 1940s, Some Crust Bakery’s Middleby-Marshall Model H Revolving Oven served various bakeries — and, to a lesser extent, the United States Army — for some 80 years. Now, with its faulty bearings and unstable shelves, it is finally being put to rest. “We are a little bit sentimental about it, but it definitely got to the point where we needed to do something to improve the business,” said Scott Feemster, Some Crust’s general manager.

The morning of January 17 I was asleep in my Ventura apartment when the quake struck, knocking me out of bed. As I stood and looked out the window a daisy chain of exploding electrical transformers lit the night sky in brilliant shades of bright green. There were no cell phones, and landlines were down, so communication was nonexistent. I was on my own. Photo/courtesy of Steven Felsch
A five-year legal fight between the Claremont Unified School District and the owner of a farm that hosts American history themed field trips has yet to be settled even after a judge ruled last year that the district’s policies do not constitute an “ongoing violation of federal law.” Courier photo/Steven Felschundneff
Seven American Youth Soccer Organization teams from Claremont competed in the region area 1B playoffs in Chino Hills this past weekend. Teams from Claremont compete in region 3 of AYSO, and only league champions and runners-up from neighboring regions areas competed in this weekend’s tournament.
After nearly a decade of legal wrangling, the Claremont School of Theology has finalized a deal to sell the 16 acres of prime Village real estate it has occupied since 1957 back to the Claremont Colleges. The deal, for $7.7 million, was announced last month after an arbitrator sided with TCC in interpreting the parties’ original 1957 land deal as legally binding. Courier photo/Steven Felschundneff

Though not widely known, Mt. Baldy Village is home to a smattering of rather large redwood trees. The giants can be found about a half mile up Bear Canyon Road, which eventually leads all the way to the Baldy summit. Courier photo/Peter Weinberger
On November 10, 2023 the Courier published two stories about the then month-old conflict, “Local Jewish leaders speak out on war in Gaza,” featuring executive director of the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys Jason Moss, and Rabbi Jonathan Kupetz, from Pomona’s Temple Beth Israel. Today’s story is expanded to include voices from Southern California’s Palestinian community, activist and organizer Mirvette Judeh, and Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, California, Hussam Ayloush.
It’s obvious Claremonter Bill Buehler is enthusiastic about the holidays. Every year his collection of blowup Christmas figures make an appearance near Miramar and Bonnie Brea Avenues and light up his front yard at night. But during the day, the inflatables are deflated, creating a much different tornado aftermath look. Since all the figures are […]
Two colorful rainbows quickly appeared out the sky in north Claremont during a light rain at sunset on Friday, December 22. For about 20 minutes they grew in intensity until the sun finally set, disappearing into the darkness. Courier video/Peter Weinberger
The line of cars along the north side of Foothill Boulevard in Pomona starts forming early every Friday morning. The food bank at Pomona’s Newlife Church has been operating since 2009, a pet project of Zamar Alkiezar, one of the church’s pastors, along with his wife Anna. “I was homeless and living across the street,” volunteer Arthur Munoz said as he took a brief break from hefting large boxes of donated food into waiting cars. “This church saved me.” Courier photo/Steven Felschundneff
