Upland City Council voted 3-2 Monday to reinstate the city’s Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Ordinance after weeks of public resistance to its unexpected repeal in June 2025. The vote followed nearly two hours of comment from residents and mobile home administrators. In the end the original ordinance was restored with an added provision regarding the sale of homes.

The final tally? A whopping $490,387. Yes, you read that right: nearly half a million dollars poured down the drain. A half-million dollars buys a lot of iPads. That’s a few teachers’ yearly salaries, a load of textbooks, and plenty of student extracurriculars. What a waste.”
The now ubiquitous practice of ringing the bell can be momentous for a cancer patient, but after the well wishes fade, it can mark a new chapter filled with anxiety and helplessness — even survivor guilt. “There’s often so much collateral damage,” said Jessica Clague DeHart, a molecular cancer epidemiologist and associate professor at Claremont Graduate University. “The physical, psychological, and emotional toll that survivors feel is real.”

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.

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.
