Cal Poly Pomona students to help 15 baby Arabian horses enter the world
POMONA — Cal Poly Pomona is about to become an Arabian horse maternity ward, with 15 mares expected to deliver their newborns on campus in the coming weeks as awe-struck students help out.
“It’s an exciting time, no matter how many times you experience it,” Cal Poly Pomona farm manager Kate Smith told City News Service. “When students experience it for the first time or the first few times, they’re kind of in awe. They’re usually very quiet and take it all in.”
The first foal is expected to be born around Feb. 9, and the others will make their appearances into the world in the following few months, according to Smith.
It’s all part of the Cal Poly Pomona W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center.
The mares at the center all can be traced back to the original Arabian mare brought to the ranch in 1926 by cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg.
Kellogg deeded the ranch to the state in 1932, on the agreement that horse breeding would remain a function of the land.
The 35-acre site contains five barns that house the 90-plus Arabian horses and about 40 others stabled there by private owners.
About 80 Cal Poly students are participating this foaling season, Smith said. That means at least four students assigned to taking care of individual pregnant mares will be on hand when each mare gives birth, with Smith supervising.
“We try to accommodate anybody who wants to do it,” she said.
• RELATED STORY: Sunday horse shows a tradition at Cal Poly Pomona
Another birth is expected by the end of this month. Four are due in March, six in April and the rest by the third week in May.
The birth of foals is closed to the public.
“It would become too crowded and noisy if we allowed people to watch,” Smith said. “We need to keep (mares) calm.”
The students who watch each horse get to name the foal, Smith said.
It takes about 11 months from fertilization to birth of an Arabian foal. Breeding season will start sometime next month and continue through late June, according to Smith.

Carjacking suspect captured after leading Pomona officers
Carjacking suspect captured after leading Pomona officers in a pursuit from downtown Pomona to La Verne
Pomona Police Officers located a stolen Honda that had just been carjacked from a 55 yr old female victim at 1:46 PM in downtown Pomona. The suspect physically removed the victim from her vehicle. The suspect travelled northbound Garey Ave., where the vehicle was observed by Pomona Police Units. The suspect pulled over once, but then sped away from officers, which initiated... the pursuit.
The Pomona Police Officers were joined by the Ontario Police Department's Helicopter as the pursuit travelled northbound Garey Ave. into the City of La Verne. The pursuit travelled through the residential area of LaVerne, then south to the area of B St. and Bonita Ave.in LaVerne, where the suspect crashed into other vehicles.
The suspect resisted at the scene and had to be tased. The suspect was arrested and transported to the hospital for examination prior to booking.
LaVerne Fire treated three victims at the scene, two of which were minor and one victim was airlifted with chest trauma. La Verne Police Dept. assisted with the traffic Investigation.

Pomona students to attend Saturday screening of ‘Selma’
POMONA >> About 350 Pomona Unified School District eighth- through 12th-grade students on Saturday will attend a private screening of the Academy Award-nominated movie “Selma,” followed by the 16th annual Black College Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The evernt is sponsored by African American business leaders in Los Angeles County and a partnership with Paramount Pictures. The Selma for Students movement is providing Pomona students with the opportunity to view the film which presents a vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement.
“Selma” is the story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other civil rights leaders in their heroic campaign to secure equal voting rights despite violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Lyndon B. Johnson’s signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories of the civil rights movement.
A group of 27 African American business executives in New York City decided to take advantage of the special teaching moment brought about by the film’s release and purchased tickets for more than 75,000 seventh- through ninth-grade students. The success of these initial free screenings caused the Selma for Students initiative to expand across the nation as other African American business leaders in major cities organized similar programs. As a result, more than $2 million has been raised and more than 300,000 students will have a chance to see “Selma” for free, according to a district news release.
“We all immediately understood the importance of having students see this powerful film about an epic chapter in American history. ‘Selma’ is a story of American heroes who risked their lives for justice. The opportunity to provide for our young people a window into history was simply too important to miss,” said Deborah Martin Chase, CEO of Martin Chase Productions in Los Angeles. “We are all proud to support Pomona students in seeing this important movie.”
Stephanie Baker, deputy superintendent of educational services for the Pomona district and retired PUSD Deputy Superintendent Emmett Terrell worked with Paramount Studios and Regal Entertainment to combine the movie screening in the morning with the National College Resources Foundation’s Black College Expo held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“It’s going to be a full and fruitful day for our students,” Baker said. “After studying a curriculum led by Ali Hangan and other Pomona teachers, students will become fully aware of the challenges faced by the civil rights movement and will better appreciate the historical significance of this turning point in American history.”

January 30, 2015 – NATIONAL CROISSANT DAY
NATIONAL CROISSANT DAY
In the United States, National Croissant Day is observed each year on January 30th. This “unofficial” holiday lets us celebrate this delicious baked bread. Croissants are buttery, crescent-shaped rolls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The typical ingredients for making these yummy baked rolls are flour, butter, salt, sugar, yeast and water. This rich, flaky bread can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. They are enjoyed just as they are, straight out of the oven or maybe you might like to spread more butter on top of them. Many people like to split them open and fill them like a sandwich. A good breakfast filling could be egg and sausage while a good lunch filling might be chicken salad or egg salad. The great tasting croissant can be enjoyed anyway that you like it, anytime of the day!!NATIONAL CROISSANT DAY HISTORY
The origin of this unofficial National holiday is unknown. However, it is known that the history of croissant began in Vienna, Austria in 1683. That year the Turkish Empire laid siege on Vienna, Austria. After defeat of the Turks, crescent moon shaped bread was baked to celebrate and it then became custom to serve morning coffee with the pastry.
ENJOY A CROISSANT ON NATIONAL CROISSANT DAY!!

January 29, 2015 – NATIONAL CORN CHIP DAY – NATIONAL PUZZLE DAY
NATIONAL CORN CHIP DAY
National Corn Chip Day is celebrated annually on January 29th. National Corn Chip Day is not to be confused with National Tortilla Chip Day which is held in February. Corn chips have been enjoyed by us all since they were first invented by Fritos The story is that according to the company website (http://www.fritolay.com/) C.E. “Elmer” Doolin was frustrated that tortillas just did not stay fresh long enough at his store. One day in 1932, he met a man selling fried corn chips. After he pawned his mama’s wedding ring, he paid the man $100 for his recipe (in those days that was a lot of money). The family experimented with the recipe until they came up with the perfect concoction, began selling his crisps from his Model T Ford, and the rest is history. The American corn chips snack was born.Hundreds of recipes for corn chips and dips can be found on websites and in cookbooks everywhere.
On January 29, enjoy some corn chips while doing a puzzle or two!!
NATIONAL CORN CHIP DAY HISTORY
We have read the history of the corn chip however, the origin of the National Corn Chip Day, an unofficial holiday, has yet to be found. It is possible that this holiday may have been created by the greeting card industry.
