Thank you so much for writing your story about Cash Whiteley. It’s bad enough to read stories about “homeless people” as a segment of society and to feel helpless in the face of massive and slow-moving bureaucracy, but it’s another thing entirely to read personal stories about someone in your own backyard.
To the editor: The state is in an extreme drought, with a terrible water shortage. For all of us, and for future generations, we need to conserve.
Dear editor: I read with great interest the August 5 article, “Are Claremont kids scared to return to school?”
Dear editor: I know nothing about cannabis as a street drug. The warnings expressed by Mick Rhodes in the July 22 COURIER are, indeed, frightening.
Dear editor: The first edition of the COURIER to come out since Roe v. Wade was overturned [July 1] and you choose to feature the views of local religious leaders?

Dear editor: Recently, Claremont Mayor Jed Leano left a flyer soliciting citizen feedback. My response remains unanswered. Our family moved to Claremont five years ago for the vibrant small community, scenic parks, and schools. Like any city though, there are opportunities for improvement.
