Congratulations to Bill Gendron, the only reader who correctly identified last week’s apparently quite difficult “Where am I?” as the 1937 La Verne traverse station marker for Los Angeles County’s survey control system, located in Johnson’s Pasture inside Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. Bill, an 80-year-old retired detective who is clearly still utilizing his skillset, is now entered into the year-end drawing for a one-year subscription to everyone’s favorite award-winning local newspaper, the Claremont Courier. “I have enjoyed the HUNT,” Bill wrote. “It has kept me out of trouble for a while, for which I am grateful. Thank you for the opportunity!” So, “Where am I” this week? Email your answer, full name, and city of residence — and suggestions for future mystery photos — to contest@claremont-courier.com for your chance to win. Courier photo/Tom Smith

“Democrats’ response to all this insanity has been to hold periodic press conferences and craft strongly worded letters to the manager. Most, save a handful of reliable firebrands, have hidden from cameras, apparently clinging to Michelle Obama’s now wildly archaic “we go high” philosophy.

“We are living in a military occupation of Los Angeles orchestrated by the Trump regime. Let that sink in. Read it again. For most of the summer we have endured federal agents of different sorts (ICE, CBP, DHS, FBI) and paramilitaries (or ’empowered bounty hunters,’ as the media is calling them) roaming the streets of Los Angeles with ski masks and loaded high-caliber weapons as if they are in a war zone. Their target: defenseless and unarmed Angelenos.”
Have you ever wondered what happens to the trash, recycling, and green waste hauled away each week by those large, lumbering garbage trucks?
