Dear editor: Have you ever wondered how and when history defining movements lose the momentum to influence human affairs, and in their decline cause disastrous disruptions of the socioeconomic and political infrastructure that supported their period of domination over the course of human history?
Dear editor: We at Claremont Wildlands Conservancy (CWC) urge your support in our effort to raise the funds to add 103 acres of hillside open space to the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. These acres comprise the last large, privately-owned property in our foothills that could be developed with many housing units.
Dear editor: I agree, 100%. I have expressed similar sentiments and concerns in previous comments sent to the editor.
In response to the October 3 March for Women, I have two observations: (1) It was wonderful to see all the younger women who gave their time, energy and hearts to the movement.
Only one of the many buildings owned by the city is open to the public 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. That building is the Police Department facility on Bonita Avenue and manned by 94 police-related personnel. This is the only city building in dire need for retro-fitting and seismic protection.

I thought the city changed the name to “Transportation Depot”. I suspect that after […]
Claremont’s PD facility a disgrace Dear editor: The police department facility on Bonita Avenue is a disgrace for Claremont. Surrounding cities have already built new police facilities.

Instead, developers have chosen only to build […]

Our coalition exists because we believe that progress is possible and that we the students deserve to be heard by the leaders in our community. We joined […]
Compelling issue Dear editor: Kudos to you, the COURIER staff and, especially, Mick Rhodes for last week’s compelling issue. The investigative reporting on Rooter Hero was eye-opening to say the least.
