Ren's did you know?
2016 marks 100 years celebrating Ontario’s All States Picnic! In 1916, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce held its first Dinner of the States banquet in December. It became an annual picnic held at John Galvin Park in the 1930s, and in 1939 the All States Picnic moved to Euclid Avenue. In 1941, the event was featured in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not column, proclaiming the world’s longest picnic table. ...For those of you not old enough to remember, picnic tables were lined up along the Euclid Avenue median all the way from B Street to Sixth Street! Folks designated themselves by their state of origin or ancestry, and state signs were placed along the massive picnic table. During it’s heyday in the late 1950s and early 1960s, around 100,000 people would attend the picnic and parade each year, which was coordinated by Wilma Denham and others in the community. Each state would nominate a queen as representative and the queens would reign over the parade, which was held in the hot afternoon in those days. For a few years in the 1960s, the event was held south of Holt near De Anza Park. Community interest in the parade and picnic dwindled in the 1970s and the event was even cancelled altogether in 1978, although there was a small picnic held at John Galvin Park that year. A revival of the picnic was coordinated in 1991 to mark the city’s centennial. While the community still comes out for the 4th of July parade each year, most folks don’t stick around to picnic. You’ll find tables still set up though, so show your Ontario pride, bring a basket of goodies, find your state’s table, and enjoy a picnic to celebrate 100 years of this unique event!

DUI Checkpoint & DUI Citywide Patrols: Friday July 1st
INCIDENT: Traffic Safety Checkpoint & DUI Citywide Patrols
DATE/TIME: Friday July 1st, 2016
Checkpoint 9pm – 3am
Patrols 7pm-3am
LOCATION: DUI Checkpoint at undisclosed location (DUI Patrols citywide)
UNIT: Traffic Services
The Pomona Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint at an undisclosed location within the city limits along with special DUI Roving Patrols will also be deployed citywide this evening and throughout the month.
•DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint is set for Friday July 1st from 9 PM to 3 AM
•DUI Patrols will be deployed citywide on Friday June 1st between 7 PM and 3 AM
In California, this deadly crime led to 802 deaths in 2012 because someone failed to designate a sober driver. Nationally, the latest data shows nearly 10,000 were killed by an impaired driver. Over the course of the past three years, data shows DUI collisions have claimed 7 lives and resulted in 242 crashes harming 101 of our friends and neighbors in Pomona.
Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment with officers checking drivers for proper licensing delaying motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving. Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Nearly 90 percent of California drivers approve of DUI checkpoints.
DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests affording the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public.
Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000 not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out.
Funding for this checkpoint is provided to Pomona Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to
‘Report Drunk Drivers – Call 9-1-1'
Anyone with information that would aid in solving any crime is encouraged to contact the Pomona Police Department at 909-620-2085. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" at
1-800-222-TIPS(8477).
