▼ MOUNTAIN FUN
Summer ‘sledding’ at Alpine Slide
et or dry, sled or slide, Alpine Slide
in Big Bear Lake has your ride to
beat summer heat, and at last year’s
prices, too.
Kids wil enjoy cooling off on the double
water slide, filled with solar-heated water. Each
twisting, turning flume is filled with cascading
sprays that whip sliders through a maze of turns
before dumping them into the pool at the bottom with a refreshing splash.
Water slide rides are inexpensive at a buck
each, ten for $8, or an all-day pass costs $12.
Parents who don’t want to play don’t have to pay
to get in. Many parents spread a blanket out on
the grass or take a seat on the two outdoor sundecks and read a book or relax while the kids
have fun.
Heat it up on the Alpine Slide bobsleds,
where sledders are in for twists and turns as they
negotiate individually-controlled sleds with teflon
runners and ball-bearing wheels down two quarter-mile long tracks. It’s a family-friendly ride for
all ages that never needs snow but closely dupli-

cates Olympic bobsledding; youngsters and parents experience many of the same gravitational
forces as they shoot through long straightaways
and high-banked turns.
Riders control how fast, or slow, they choose
to go. Stay off the hand brake, lean into each
turn and go into a tuck through the straightaways
for better aerodynamics to go fast; be liberal with
the brake handle and sit upright to create wind
drag to slow down. No two trips down are ever
quite the same, and the Alpine Slide experience is
a completely unique one, since there isn’t another
ride like it in California. Skill does play a role in
the experience; the more you ride, the better you
get.
Each Alpine Slide ride begins with a trip up
the scenic chairlift to the top of the mountain,
where fabulous views of the forest and beautiful
Big Bear Lake unfold.
Alpine Slide rides cost $4 each, or $18 for a
five-ride book.
Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain also features
Putt `N Around go-karts and 18-hole miniature
golf course, filled with water hazards, breaking
greens and “sand traps.”
New Can Am go-karts sport 5.5 horsepower
Honda motors and a slew of safety features as
they zip around the tire-lined track with highbanked turn. There’s also a family-priced snack
bar with hand-scooped ice cream and weekend
barbecue on the deck.
Alpine Slide is a 1/4 mile west of the Big Bear
Village shopping area, home to 60 specialty
stores. For more information, call (909) 8664626 or go online to alpineslidebigbear.com.

Victoria Gardens
Cultural Center
njoy free summer concerts during the

Series. This series includes a variety
of musical genres from around the globe.
The 2009/2010 World Music Summer
Concert Series will be held at the Bank of
America Imagination Courtyard, 12505
Cultural Center Drive, on July 8th, 15th and
22nd from 6pm to 7:30pm.
“All of the World Music groups have performed for audiences around the country and
we are very pleased to invite them to the
Victoria Gardens Cultural Center to perform
for our community. We also hope that the
concerts will entice people who have not had
an opportunity to visit the Cultural Center

entertainment we have lined up for the Lewis
Family Playhouse’s 2009/2010 season,”
World Music Summer Concert Series
Coordinator Murry Hepner said.
The first concert will be the AfroBrazilian group Batuqueiros on July 8. The
Batuqueiros are a dynamic ensemble of gifted
musicians performing under the guidance
and vision of world renowned master percussionist Amen Santo.
July 15 features the West African Highlife
Band, an authentic all-star group of West
African music veterans. Together they revive
the “highlife” dance classics with a fusion of
African and world music.
The final summer concert, on July 22,
brings Talkoproject back to Rancho
Cucamonga. Talkoproject is an ensemble of
premiere taiko drummers dedicated to promoting and advancing the American art of
taiko. Through public performances, education, and outreach activities, Talkoproject is
committed to preserving taiko as a dynamic
element of Japanese American culture and
heritage.
All concerts are free to the public and will

▼ ROLLER COASTERS & THRILLS
Summer fun
at Knott’s
Berry Farm
Thrill rides for all ages
make Knott’s a family favorite
ooking for some summer excitement for the family? Knott’s Berry
Farm, America’s first theme park, hosts a wide assortment of thrills
that appeal from the youngest to the oldest in your family. A pioneer in the amusement park industry, Knott’s Berry Farm strives to
deliver “first of its kind” attractions. This philosophy is apparent in Knott’s
newest attraction, Pony Express – The Ride. Designed and manufactured
by Zamperla of Vicenza, Italy, it is the first of its type designed by the company.
Named after the famous Pony Express, which promised a faster mail
service on the North American continent, Knott’s Pony Express delivers a
horseback relay at speeds never imagined in the Old West. While sitting
astride one of the team’s 16 horses, riders leave their post with their stead
launching them at a speed of 38 mph in less than 3 seconds. The terrain
for the mounted riders is rugged as they navigate an ascending banked turn
to a height of over 44 ft. then through a series of heart-pounding 60 degree
banked turns covering a 1,300 foot route resulting in an exhilarating runaway adventure.
Want to take it up a notch? Just inside the gates you will be greeted by
Silver Bullet. This $16 million high-flying suspended coaster sends riders
climbing to a height of 146 feet and soaring back down an initial drop of
109 feet. Riders find themselves upside down six times including one vertical loop of 105 feet all while suspended under 3,125 feet of track.
When coaster enthusiasts talk about the country’s best coasters, the subject invariably turns to Knott’s spectacular GhostRider. The 4,533-foot
wooden wonder opened in December 1998 and quickly jumped to the top
of coaster enthusiasts’ “best ride” lists. And if that isn’t fast enough for you,
be sure to check out Xcelerator, the world’s first hydraulically launched
50s-themed coaster that blasts riders 82 mph in just 2.3 seconds 20 stories
up and straight back down at 90 degrees.
Other standouts in the Knott’s coaster arsenal include park favorites
Boomerang and Montezooma’s Revenge, and coaster fans of all ages will
want to pounce on Jaguar, a three-minute journey through the mysterious
Temple of the Jaguar and high above the park.
Knott’s also offers some of the world’s most intense non-coaster thrills
as well. Supreme Scream, one of the tallest thrill rides of its kind in the
world, raises open-air riders 30 stories high before power-blasting them
back to earth in three negative-gravity seconds at speeds topping 60 mph.

Knott’s Pony Express ride
Just down the Boardwalk, Perilous Plunge sends passenger boats down a
world-record 115-foot water chute at a 75-degree angle, just 15 degrees
from sheer vertical. RipTide, with 720 degrees of attitude, spins passengers
from the surface of a peaceful sea grotto to a height of about 60 feet.
Want a different kind of thrill? Knott’s has gentler attraction experiences for the easy-going guest. Cross over the rushing waters of mystical
Thunder Falls to find the inexplicable magic of award-winning Mystery
Lodge. Climb aboard a painted pony for a nostalgic spin on a century-old
carousel. Or, ride shotgun on an actual, bullet-riddled Butterfield
Stagecoach, which, at nearly 60-years-old, is one of Knott’s oldest rides.
A long-time Park favorite, the Timber Mountain Log Ride, is widely
regarded as the best flume ride ever built. Traveling in hollowed-out logs,
guests float through an 1880s sawmill before plunging down a 40-foot
waterfall. Nearby, the Calico Mine Train carries passengers underground
into a working gold mine.
A modern day pioneer project, Camp Snoopy was the first-ever theme
park area dedicated solely to kids. The summer of 2007 brought the Sierra
Sidewinder to this high-sierra themed area. This innovative coaster sends
riders through dips and turns all while rotating on its axis. Overall, the sixacre wonderland offers more than 30 rides and attractions for little tykes
and their parents. Charlie Brown Speedway, Snoopy’s Red Baron airplanes,
Camp Bus, Rocky Road Truckin’ Company and Lucy’s Tugboatsm all offer
the perfect pint-sized thrill for children and their parents.
Just across Calico Square guests can board The Calico Railroad, an
authentic 1881-steam train, for a surprise-filled trip around the park.
Held-up by Knott’s Ghost Town Bandits 10,000 times a year, the
GT&CRR holds the distinction of having the worst crime rate of any railroad in the world. For kids, Knott’s offers the charming Grand Sierra
Scenic Railroad, an authentic scale-model steam train departing daily from
its Camp Snoopy station.
Knott’s also has plenty of entertainment offerings. “At Knott’s, all of
our shows are carefully integrated into the total park experience,” Charles
Bradshaw, Cedar Fair Entertainment Company’s Vice President of
Entertainment, said. “For example, when you’re strolling through Ghost
Town you just might find yourself in the middle of a rough ‘n’ tumble
cowboy shootout or in Camp Snoopy don’t be surprised to hear Charlie
Brown singing about his troubles.”
In the Old West Ghost Town feel free to drop by the Calico Saloon to
visit Cameo Kate and Dakota Dan or to just sip on a tall, cool sarsaparilla.
And don’t leave without experiencing a showdown between the local gunslingers or watching the blacksmith heat up his own authentic magic on
Main Street.

‘Fandance’ debuts in Big Bear
Provocative, but
never revealing, known
as America’s Treasure
and Queen of the Fan
Dancers, Sally Rand
created one of the
most famous dances of
all time and helped
save the Chicago
World’s Fair during
The Great Depression.
With songs from
the Big Band Era, original and classic music
that brings alive 80
years of dance history,
Fandance:The
Legend of Sally
Rand, is a story that
will make you laugh,
cheer and tug at your
heart. Fandance is presented at the Big Bear
Lake Performing Arts
Hee Haw’s Misty Rowe
Center, August 7-9.
Fandance is written
and choreographed by
Misty Rowe, whose 19 years on “Hee Haw” won her The
Entertainer’s Award from TV Land in 2007. Fandance is based on historical facts and the memory of her mother who met the famous
fandancer twice, once at the beginning of her career and again at the
end of her life. Dreams that inspire weave two women’s lives together through their children; one, an infamous dancer, the other, an ordinary woman who now resides in Big Bear Community Hospital.
Fandance is directed by Beth Gardner. The world premiere of
“Fandance” is being staged as a benefit for the hospital. Tickets are
$20 and $25 and can be purchased online at

Covington
The ‘Idol’ plays at Fantasy Springs
e’s one of country’s fastest rising stars. His voice, his face and his hair
are already a sensation with fans of America’s most watched competition show, American Idol. Bucky Covington performs for one night
only at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, July 10, at 8pm.
Bucky Covington took eighth place in American Idol’s fifth season,
but not long after leaving the show, he was flooded with calls from
agents and producers. The call that seemed right came from the
singer/producer of the band Sawyer Brown, who in fact got
their start on Star Search.
Covington and Mark Miller of Sawyer Brown went to
work on the Idol contestant’s first album. Dozens of shows
later and an album to show for all the hard work, Bucky
Covington says he’s now realizing his dream. The former
auto mechanic is now touring the country, spreading his
soulful, all-American charm. Through radio and TV, Bucky
Covington proves to be one of country’s hottest rising stars.
The critics call his staying power “lasting.”

EVENTS AT PL ANES OF FAME
Living History Flying Days at Planes of Fame Air Museum
Russian Yak Fighters
Russian Yak Fighters will be featured during the monthly Living History Flying Day at
Planes of Fame Air Museum on the Chino
Airport on Saturday, July 11. Because of the
Fourth of July holiday, this event will be held
on the second Saturday of the month instead
of the museum‘s traditional first Saturday of
the month date.
The event will begin with a seminar on
Russian Yak fighter planes and is scheduled to
conclude with a flight demonstration by a
recently restored World War II Russian Yak-3
fighter.
Enthusiastic about airplanes from his earliest years, Aleksandr Sergeyevich Yakovlev
Oegan, working in Russia‘s aviation industry
in 1923, was finally able to establish his own
design bureau in July 1934. By the start of
World War II, Yak fighter planes were already
in series production and contributed tremendously to the eventual defeat of the German
Luftwaffe on the Eastern Front. A very basic
design that was rugged and easy to build, the
Yak-3 fighter proved to be particularly effective
and was manufactured in great numbers.
Aviation Archaeology
Planes of Fame Air Museum presents
experts on aviation archaeology on August 1,
10am-12pm. The event will feature a flight of
their Vought F4U-1A Corsair.
SNOWMEN MUSIC PUBLISHING
RAY DAVON
presents
The event features Peter Merlin and Tony
Moore, co-authors of the new book X-Plane
Crashes: Exploring Experimental, Rocket Plane,
and Spycraft Incidents, Accidents and Crash Sites,
and Pat Macha, expert wreck finder and coauthor of the book Aircraft Wrecks in the
Mountains and Deserts of California.
Pat, Peter and Tony will share their experiences researching and locating historical crash
sites. The presentation will be followed by a
question and answer period, book signing,
and flight demonstration.
The very first permanent museum of its
type in the American west, Planes of Fame
Air Museum is an independent, non-profit
organization dedicated to the preservation
of America‘s aviation heritage. Planes of
Fame Air Museum is open to the public
every day from 9am until 5pm. General
admission is $11, youngsters 5-11 are admitted for $4, and admission is free for accompanied children under 5. For more information call (909) 597-3722 or visit the museum‘s website at www.planesoffame.org.

▼ SCIENCE
Be drawn in to the mystery of the black hole
By Dorothy Allmon
grew up hearing people refer to the Black
Hole of Calcutta, a somewhat “old school”
expression. Historically speaking, the Black
Hole of Calcutta was a real room in a British
fort in Calcutta, India, where soldiers were once
imprisoned. It was inescapable and many met
their death in the Black Hole. In time, it became
a symbolic reference to certain doom...if you
went in you never came out alive!
Of course today, when we refer to a “black
hole,” we are commonly referring to the term
coined by a physicist named John Wheeler.
While conducting a lecture in 1967, he coined
the term “black hole” while describing a theoretical entity in the Universe resulting from the theory of general relativity. According to this theory,
“a black hole can form when a massive star runs
out of nuclear fuel and is crushed by its own
gravitational force.” (NASA) Under certain circumstances, the star's matter is concentrated at a
single point known as singularity. The gravitational force of “singularity” is infinite!
For centuries, scientists and mathematicians
have debated the possible existence of black holes
I
in the Universe. One effect of black holes mimics
that of the Black Hole of Calcutta. If you go in,
you never come out! A critical characteristic of
black holes is the event horizon.This refers to the
surface of a black hole. The gravity of a black
hole is so strong that anything crossing it's surface, or event horizon, is pulled into its inner
sanctum...never to escape!
Even light cannot escape a black hole’s gravity.
This restricts optical observations to the gravitational effects on stars and other matter around
the event horizon. Scientists think that matter
begins to compress and collide as it is pulled closer to the black hole. The friction caused by this
process heats dust and gas particles, emitting
light. Therefore, although the black hole itself is
dark, the area around it can be very bright.
Additional observations are made with x-ray,
radio, and gamma ray sensitive equipment.
It is suspected that most galaxies have a super
massive black hole at the center. That includes
the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Scientists refer
to it as Sagittarius A*...which reads Sagittarius A
star (SgrA*). It is calculated to be about 26,000
light-years from Earth.
Enhance your knowledge of subjects like
Photo credit: Chandra
Sagittarius A*
black holes and other phenomena in our
Universe by attending a SkyQuest Public
Program at the Lake Arrowhead MSAS
Astronomy Village. Programs for July include the
following topics: “Summer Constellations,”
Saturday, July 11, and “How to Use a Telescope,”
Saturday, July 25. All programs are from 8-10pm
and include an entertaining and informative
slide/lecture, question and answer period, laser
tour of the night sky, and a trip to the Robert
Brownlee Observatory, weather permitting.
