A LOOK BACK AT THE COMMUNITY PARTY Scores of Claremont residents gathered at Claremont City Council Member Corey Calaycay's home Sunday, October 1 to celebrate the campaign for Yes on Measure S. The diverse crowd came from all areas of Claremont and represented a wide range of interests. Those attending included members of the Committee for Yes On S, citizens active in last summer's debate over how to fund the purchase of Johnson's Pasture and people new to the issue who wanted to learn more. All enjoyed potluck desserts and a chance to talk to each other about the general obligation bond that will be on the ballot on November 7. From the 50-year Claremont resident who has already introduced her seven great grandchildren to Johnson's Pasture to the nine month-old boy who is waiting impatiently until he is old enough to walk and his parents can take him hiking in the hillsides, there were a variety of stories, a breadth of concerns and agreement on a simple proposition: Johnson's Pasture must be saved -- and Measure S is the way to do it.
