While the world looked on in horror last Wednesday as the United States Capitol was breached by a violent, deadly mob, former Claremont resident and COURIER reporter Marc Rod was inside the building as the insurrection was underway. Mr. Rod, just 23, interned with the COURIER in 2018 and is now a reporter for Jewish Insider. When inside the Capitol, he had little idea where to hide, or where the rioters were headed.

Matthew Keating had a very real problem. Like so many other musicians, he missed live performances now that the pandemic has forced us to be apart. In his job as executive director of the Claremont Community School of Music, he tried a few ideas to keep his students and the community creating music, but it was just not the same as performing together.
Friday's new cases for Los Angeles County were at 15,051. Testing continues to increase also—see chart. The 15,000 people in the county who test positive on average daily were infectious for two days before symptoms began and were capable of infecting others, according to Ms. Ferrer. A total of 10 to 12 percent of the people who test positive end up hospitalized, and more than one percent die. “The damaging impact to our families and our local hospitals from this surge...is the worst disaster our county has experienced for decades,” Ms. Ferrer said.

Most Claremonters are used to warm temperature spikes during the winter, and this mini heat wave on the weekend will be no exception. Starting Friday we can expect high temperatures to reach 85, with lows around 55 degrees. So although some trees will look bare, the sunny weather means we can leave our jackets at home. But like most things, the warm weather will pass, and by Tuesday it's back to temperatures hoovering around 60 degrees, with a chance of showers off an on most of the week. Definitely cold enough to produce snow in the mountains. And as mentioned, the weather system will continue to produce wonderful sunsets. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger
The city of Claremont received a gift of 20 acres of land in the hills east of Webb Canyon, according to the city manager’s weekly update. The parcel, which was donated by Arthur and Susan Bertolina, will be preserved as open space. “The city has had a long-standing commitment to preserving open space in our hillsides. I would like to thank the Bertolina family for their generous gift, which ensures more of our wilderness corridor remains preserved,” Acting City Manager Adam Pirrie said.
Even with the snow mostly melted from the mountains, the popularity of the great outdoors remains very popular for people just wanting to get away. One popular hiking destination is San Antonio Falls, with the access road just a quarter-mile from the ski lifts parking lot. The steep but short half-mile walk is paved, but the reward is special given the falls remains active from melting snow. COURIER photo/Peter Weinberger
