Enjoy the Most Anticipated
Patriotic Celebration of the
year… ‘Fourth at Fairmount’
By Natasha Ferguson
R
iverside Downtown Partnership (RDP) and the City of
Riverside Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department (PRCSD) are gearing up for the biggest patriotic
celebration of the year — “Fourth at Fairmount.” Last year,
approximately 6,500 attendees enjoyed this annual celebration and
attendance is expected to double this year.
Fourth at Fairmount is a community event that is free and open to
the public. A full fun-filled day of festivities will be enjoyed by all,
beginning at 10am continuing until 10pm including live entertainment with musical performances by oldies/rock ‘n roll bands “The
Night Tides” and “Orange Colored Sky.” There will also be arts and
craft vendors, food vendors, a children’s fun zone with a giant obstacle
course, a rock climbing wall, games, balloon and face painting artists
and much more. Fourth at Fairmount features one of the most spectacular aerial firework displays in the region, shot directly over
Fairmount Lake on the beautiful grounds of Fairmount Park located
at 2601 Fairmount Blvd. off Market Street in Riverside. The fireworks
will begin promptly at 9pm.
With the high cost of gas, families will be looking for a safe and
fun place to celebrate this July 4th holiday close to home. Fairmount
Park offers lots of shade trees, grassy areas and picnic tables, ideal for
families to camp out all day and enjoy. Festival attendees are encouraged to bring their own blanket or lawn chair for the grass area. Early
arrival is strongly suggested in order to get a good spot!
Attendees are allowed to barbecue utilizing the grills that are within the park. Outside grills are allowed in designated areas only. No

Fine Arts kicks off 14th summer lineup
T
his summer F.A.N. (Fine Arts
Network) kicks off their 14th summer with a line-up of entertaining
productions. GALA, June 6-8, 5pm,
is the opening summer event supporting The
Fine Arts Ballet Company. The event includes a
three course dinner at Baily’s Front Street Bar
and Grill in Old Town Temecula, dessert at the
Old Town Temecula Community Theatre
(OTTCT) courtyard and a dance program that
includes the 1 Act ballet, Les Sylphides, pieces
from Don Quixote and original choreographic
works set to classic rock.
The summer theatrical season gets into full
swing on Father’s Day weekend with 2 shows
whose titles reconfirm what every man knows.
The first, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now
Change,” opening on June 20 through Sunday,
June 22 (preview night with reduced seat tickets
is June 19). The tagline for the show is,
“Everything you have ever secretly thought about
dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands,
wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit.”
While every man knows about “being perfect
and then the requirement to change,” most men
16
are equally familiar that “Real Women Have
Curves.” This is certainly true of the second
summer production opening June 27-29 (preview
night is June 26). “Real Women Have Curves “
is a dramatic comedy that will keep you in stitches. Josefina Lopez writes the stories of five full figured Latina seamstresses who try to meet an
impossible production deadline while hiding
from the INS. The play is set in a tiny dress factory in East Los Angeles and celebrates the power
of real women and the incredible bond that happens when women work together, as well as the
timeless contribution of Latinos to the U.S.
The third show of the season, with performances on July 8 and 9 only, features the Inland
Valley Opera performing Giuseppe Verdi’s tragic
opera, Rigoletto in English. The Inland Valley
Opera is comprised of local operatic artists and
guest performers from LA Opera, Opera Pacific
and San Diego Opera. Members of the Inland
Valley Symphony, under the baton of Dr. Jeanine
Trent, comprise the opera orchestra. Rigoletto
is the tragic story of a hunchback court jester
who falls prey to his master’s wicked prank.
Secrets and seduction soon form a deadly combi-
nation, and a courtier’s curse is realized when
Rigoletto discovers that his treasured daughter has
sacrificed herself for the love of his tormentor.
Moving into the home stretch of summer,
Temecula Performing Arts Company presents
Cabaret, a musical with a book by Joe Masteroff,
lyrics by Fred Ebb, and music by John Kander.
Set in 1929-1930 Berlin on the eve of the Nazis’
rise to power, it focuses on nightlife at the seedy
Kit Kat Klub and mostly revolves around the
English 19-year-old cabaret performer Sally
Bowles and her relationship with young
American writer, Cliff Bradshaw.
The last show of the season is the musical, Les
Miserables, composed by the French composer
Claude-Michel Schönberg with a libretto by
Alain Boublil. Set in early 19th century France,
it follows the intertwining stories of a cast of
characters as they struggle for redemption and
revolution.
All shows are performed at Old Town
Temecula Community Theatre (OTTCT). Go

Many people think that Polaris, the North Star, is a very bright, if
not one of the brightest, stars in the sky.They assume this brightness
is why we use Polaris to help us navigate the night sky. Polaris is actually a middle-bright star, easily missed among its much more dazzling
neighbors. Its perceived position in the sky, from where we stand on
Earth, makes it an important tool for navigating the night sky.
The Earth spins on its axis like a top, completing one revolution
every 24 hours.The two points where this axis meets the Earth’s surface are identified as the North and South Poles. If you were standing
anywhere on Earth below the polar region and observing the stars,
they would appear to rise in the east and set in the west. If you were
standing at the polar region, the stars would never seem to “set.” They
would appear to spin around a fixed point in the sky. Polaris is that
point and appears directly above the Earth’s North Pole.
SkyQuest Public Programs at the MSAS Astronomy Village in June
will cover more about navigating the night sky: June 7,“Summer
Constellations,” and June 28,“The Planets of Our Solar System.”
Programs include an entertaining slide/lecture, question and answer
period, laser tour of the night sky, and a visit to the Robert Brownlee
Observatory to look at some celestial objects.The programs begin at
8pm and end at 10pm.

Bobsledding in the mountains
S
peeding down the long straightaway, the
rider leans in anticipation of the upcoming high-banked turns. The sled is but a
blur as it whips through the maze of
turns and enters another straightaway.
A scene from the Winter Olympic Games?
Hardly, though these riders do experience many
of the same gravitational forces athletes do.
These are the individually controlled Alpine
Slide bobsleds in beautiful Big Bear Lake,
which allow riders of all ages to taste Olympic
bobsledding.
Way more than an amusement park ride,
riders get to control how fast -- or slow -- they
go as they descend two quarter-mile long
tracks. These sleds never need snow because
they have teflon runners and ball-bearing
wheels, and by applying brake or letting the
sleds roll, guests make their own adventure.
Lean into each turn and tuck through the
straightaways for aerodynamics and you’ll go
fast; be liberal with the brake handle and sit
upright, and go slow.
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. From the chairlift ride to the top
filled with panoramic views of almost-full Big
Bear Lake, to the exhilarating ride down,
Alpine Slide bobsleds are an interactive experience. While anyone can ride the sleds, skill
does matter—the more you ride, the better you
get.
Alpine Slide rides are $4 each, or $18 for a
five-ride book. The area is open weekends till
June 7, then daily through summer.
Alpine Slide is also home to a double water
slide. Two side-by-side flumes filled with cool,
cascading water take riders through a maze of
twisting turns and straightaways, before dumping them out in the solar heated pool at the
bottom.
Water slide rides are inexpensive—a buck
each, ten for $8, or an all-day pass costs just
$12. A great way to beat the heat, and parents
who don’t want to play don’t have to pay to get
in, unlike most water parks. Spread a blanket
out on the grass or take a seat on two outdoor
decks and read a book while the kids have at it.
Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain also features Putt `N Around go-karts and an 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.
Alpine Slide is 1/4 mile west of the Village
shopping area, home to 60 specialty stores. For
more information, call (909) 866-4626.

Family Fishing Derby and
Dad’s Day in the Park
A summer camp in history
This summer, have your kids live a portion of history in
a unique day camp in Oak Glen. Riley’s Farm opens its new
Summer Day Camp June 3 for youngsters ages 6 to 14.
Situated in beautiful Oak Glen, near Yucaipa, Cherry Valley
and Beamont, Riley’s Farm sees over 80,000 school children a year in their living history field trips. Now Inland
Empire kids can spend an entire summer week on the
farm Monday through Friday, with programs starting as
early as 7:30am and ending as late as 5pm.
Summer Day Camp is a safe, fun and educational way
for kids to spend their summer while mom and dad are at
work. “This program was born of a need,” Riley’s Farm V.P.
Brandon Ryder said. “Children get out of school for the
summer, and parents are looking for a way to use their
time wisely.”
At Riley’s Farm Summer Day Camp, children will go on
nature hikes, meet characters from history, feed farm animals, learn skills like butter churning and paper making,
play old fashioned games like graces and trap ball, go fishing, pick berries and more. For about the same price as
day care, kids get to spend the summer learning from
friendly, knowledgeable “Living Historians,” who have
worked with students year round.
The standard program (9am – 3:30pm) starts at $225
per week and the extended program, with meals (7:30am –
5pm) is $360 per week. Discounts are available for multiple week tuition and for early-bird admission.

Meet the air commandos
A
ir Commandos will be the subject of
the monthly special event hosted by
Planes of Fame Air Museum at the
Chino Airport on Saturday, July 5.
The program will begin at 10am with a seminar
describing the history of United States Air
Commando operations and conclude with a
flight demonstration by the Planes of Fame’s
rare North American P-51A Mustang, one of
the first combat airplanes used by the Air
Commandos.
The history of the U.S. Air Commandos
dates back to the establishment of the 1st Air
Commando Group in India on March 2,
1944. Initially, the 1st Air Commando Group
provided logistical and combat aerial support
to Allied commando ground forces, known as
“Chindits,” operating deep behind the Japanese
lines in Burma. Disbanded on October 8,
1948, the Air Commandos were revived in
April 1981 to counter Soviet-sponsored insurgents around the world. Today, the U.S. Air
Force Special Operations Command employs
9,500 commandos to provide support where
required with special infiltration helicopters, transport planes, aerial refueling
aircraft and aerial gunships.
The very first permanent air museum in the American West, Planes of
Fame Air Museum was also a pioneer in
the concept of restoring historic display
aircraft to flying condition. Staffed primarily by a core of dedicated volunteers,
Planes of Fame supports its daily operations with admission fees, donations,
facilities rentals and proceeds from the
