Ren's Wayback Mid to late 60's
OK what we have here is a picture of Second and Linden St. and across from Buffums was the Goodwill Store another great place to shop, that's if Buffums was a little high priced for you. Now behind the Goodwill there on First St. was an old packing plant, it was from Palomares to Eleanor St. There is a parking lot for Western U there now, and just on the other side use to be railroad tracks for loading and unloading. So from Palomares to Eleanor St. there was no street at all like you see today. You would have to go south on Palomares St. then on to old First St. then back up Eleanor St. to First St. Back then First St. use to drop down then once you passed the packing plant, then you would go back up Eleanor St. then to First St. Let me see what else, OK to your lower right was a paint store that sold paint for houses and also paint supplies. And to the upper left corner where you see those two white cars parked. Well that was the parking for that furniture store that was on the corner of northwest corner of Palomares and Second St. as a kid it was a great place to ambush your friends with water balloons. Where the Goodwill and all the way to your left to where that parking lot I was telling you about, is a park now. And the part of Linden St. along the Goodwill store is no longer there. The only thing that still around is the Pomona, Buffums sign it now reads WESTERN U
Oh yeah one more thing I was able to see them fix the sign as you see it today, same old sign but with a different title. In the one picture you can see the pole but no sign.

Police were called to White Avenue and Second Street by a patrol officer at 12:06 p.m. Wednesday, according to Lt. Joann Guzek of the Pomona Police Department.
It was determined the shooting occurred at Hamilton Avenue and First Street, Guzek said.
The victim's name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Ren's Note: It's time that the Mayor of Pomona to step down. The gang members know that the mayor and government here in Pomona are weak and they will run with their tails behind their legs. We need to clean house in our city hall, next killing just blame it on the mayor for being weak, and if he wants to help Pomona then leave the office, and let's get somebody that has big enough *&^% to do something about this. Not some weakling that runs and hides behinds his wife's skirt.

Dickens seance planned at Pomona library
A Dickens Christmas Séance will be held Dec. 14 at 3 p.m. at the Pomona Public Library, 625 S Garey Ave.
The veil into the unknown will be opened by an experienced medium, Jim Gallivan, in the authentic Victorian style of séances that Charles Dickens himself attended and may still be attending. Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” uses the vivid ghostly supernatural character of Jacob Marley and the three ghosts of Christmas to teach Ebenezer Scrooge the errors of his miserly ways.
Dickens was an important member of the famous Ghost Club founded in 1862 in London, as was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Professor Gallivan is a member of that same society, which has been dedicated to the study of ghosts, séances, psychical phenomena and things that go bump in the night. Professor Gallivan is a member of the exclusive worldwide Psychic Entertainers Association, has been a performing member of the Magic Castle and has performed many Victorian séances and is the director of a historical cemetery.
The spooky basement chambers of the Pomona Library will be used. The doors will be closed at 3:33 p.m., so visitors should arrive at 3 p.m. for refreshments. This event will not be appropriate for young children.
Seating for this event will be strictly limited. Cost is $15. Proceeds will go to the Pomona Library.

Supervisor Antonovich Calls for Audit of Contracts for Electronic Monitoring Devices
Antonovich proposed the audit as the county's Probation Department sought to renew a contract with Sentinel Offender Services, LLC.
County Supervisor Mike Antonovich called Tuesday for an audit of contracts for electronic monitoring devices, which he said fail to keep law-abiding citizens safe from criminals.
Antonovich proposed the audit as the county's Probation Department sought to renew a contract with Sentinel Offender Services, LLC.
"Despite inherent weaknesses with electronic monitoring, it is imperative that the county ensure that the contractor's equipment and monitoring services meet our standards and expectations," Antonovich said.
The private company monitors electronic ankle bracelets and other devices designed to track criminal offenders or probationers. Jail overcrowding and pressure to release inmates before they serve their full sentence has encouraged the use of such technology.
Antonovich said he's not a proponent.
"It's not an effective deterrent to crime," he said. "And it does provide a false sense of security to our community. Offenders often tamper with and disengage these devices and face only minor consequences."
He pointed to reports of sex offenders removing required GPS devices.
Recent state law sets a mandatory six-month jail sentence for sex offenders who violate their parole by tampering with devices and dictates that the entire six months be served in county jail, with no early release.
Antonovich voted with the rest of the board to extend Sentinel's contract, set to expire Nov. 30, but only for one year. Future options to renew must come back to the board for approval.
The board supported his call for monthly compliance reports and a report back in 90 days.

NATIONAL TIE ONE ON DAY
National Tie One on Day might confuse people with it’s name however it is not at all about going out, getting crazy and drinking to much while others are at home, working hard preparing for tomorrow’s big Thanksgiving Day meal.
National Tie One on Day celebrates the apron as well as the past generations of women who wore them and it was also created as a day to bring joy to the life of someone in need and celebrate the spirit of giving.
“Women clad in aprons have traditionally prepared the Thanksgiving meal, and it is within our historical linkage to share our bounty.” EllynAnne Geisel
As part of National Tie One on Day, Buy an apron, bake something, tuck a note of encouragement in the pocket of the apron (or pin it on it), wrap the baked good in the apron and give it to someone in need on Thanksgiving Eve.
Happy National Tie One on Day!
