A fast moving fire near west Glendora Mountain Road in the San Gabriel Canyon, seen from Grand Avenue in Claremont, continued to burn into the night as firefighters attempted to get control of the growing 200-acre blaze. This fire, along with the much larger 17,000-acre Line Fire in the Big Bear Lake area, caused unhealthful air throughout the Inland Empire. Both blazes are yet to be controlled, with a state of emergency declared in San Bernardino County. More updates as news develops. Courier photo/Peter Weinberger

First and foremost, we want to wish our readers a happy September and offer a huge thank you for your continued support. The nonprofit Courier remains a critical source for local fact-based journalism and information. Your generosity helps push us through the challenges we face together during this critical election year.

Back in April, the Courier reported on a huge Tesla Supercharger location due to open on Arrow Route between Claremont Boulevard and Monte Vista Avenue. Located right on the border between Claremont and Upland, the location seemed ready to open as all the hardware, the parking lot and even freshly painted trash cans were all in place.

There’s no question 2024 — our 117th year of publishing — has been a rollercoaster ride for Claremont’s community newspaper. And though challenges lie ahead, I say with confidence that nothing will stop us from continuing to produce award-winning fact-based local journalism in 2025. In fact, the Courier staff feels our jobs will be even more important over the next four years, during which we will be reporting each and every day.
