<strong>The</strong> world famous<br />

Big Bear<br />

Doo Dah Parade<br />

in Fawnskin will<br />

debut for <strong>2017</strong> at 10<br />

a.m. on Saturday,<br />

<strong>July</strong> 22. Billed as<br />

the world’s shortest<br />

parade, the Big<br />

Bear Doo Dah Parade<br />

in Fawnskin<br />

is long on laughs<br />

and full of family<br />

fun. A staple of the<br />

annual Big Bear<br />

Old Miners Association<br />

Old Miners<br />

Days events,<br />

the Big Bear Doo<br />

Dah Parade in<br />

Fawnskin is not to<br />

be missed. <strong>The</strong> parade<br />

is sponsored<br />

by Old Miners; the<br />

Fawnskin Chamber<br />

of Commerce,<br />

the North Shore<br />

Improvement Association<br />

and the<br />

Big Bear Moose<br />

Lodge.<br />

Feel like getting<br />

in on the fun.<br />

<strong>The</strong> organizers are<br />

looking for entries.<br />

What is the Big<br />

Bear Doo Dah Parade<br />

in Fawnskin?<br />

Let’s start at the<br />

beginning.<br />

Sources claim<br />

that in a <strong>July</strong> 13,<br />

1865 editorial, a<br />

newspaper editor<br />

by the name<br />

of Horace Greeley<br />

popularized the<br />

phrase, “Go West,<br />

young man…”<br />

<strong>The</strong> editorial was<br />

written to encourage<br />

Civil War<br />

veterans to take<br />

advantage of the<br />

Homestead Act<br />

and colonize the<br />

western lands.<br />

<strong>The</strong> editorial<br />

read, “Washington<br />

is not a place<br />

to live in. <strong>The</strong><br />

rents are high, the<br />

food is bad, the<br />

dust is disgusting<br />

and the morals<br />

are deplorable. Go<br />

West, young man,<br />

go West and grow<br />

up with the country.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> advice<br />

seems as apt today<br />

as it was then<br />

as there is again<br />

a blaring hue and<br />

cry to disengage<br />

from our Nation’s<br />

capital for many of<br />

the same reasons.<br />

Many took that<br />

advice. Thousands<br />

traveled to the<br />

promised lands of<br />

the thinly populated<br />

West.<br />

Countless souls<br />

were lured to the<br />

west by greed and<br />

the promise of untold<br />

riches, for gold<br />

had been discovered<br />

in California.<br />

<strong>The</strong> San Bernardino<br />

Mountains,<br />

and the Bear<br />

and Holcomb valleys<br />

in particular,<br />

filled with prospectors.<br />

Belleville,<br />

in Holcomb Valley,<br />

soon was the largest<br />

town in San<br />

Bernardino County.<br />

<strong>The</strong> mines soon<br />

petered and the<br />

gold settlements<br />

became ghost<br />

towns.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Big Bear<br />

Old Miners Association<br />

continues<br />

to pay homage to<br />

that time with a<br />

variety of events<br />

aimed at keeping<br />

the memory of the<br />

gold mining days<br />

alive. One event is<br />

the Big Bear Doo<br />

Dah Parade in<br />

Fawnskin.<br />

Nonsense and<br />

bizarre hilarity<br />

best describes<br />

the Big Bear Doo<br />

Dah Parade. Participants<br />

dress up<br />

as “dairy queens”<br />

in cow suits, men<br />

wear nun outfits,<br />

knights of<br />

the roundtable<br />

appear, cowboys,<br />

polka tenors and<br />

a barrage of other<br />

inventively wacky<br />

ensembles such as<br />

senior citizens doing<br />

choreographed<br />

routines with walkers.<br />

One year the<br />

“Dolly Llama” even<br />

showed up: a llama<br />

wittily named<br />

Dolly. Be sure to get<br />

there early to claim<br />

your spot because<br />

the parade is only<br />

three blocks long<br />

and lasts about an<br />

hour.<br />

<strong>The</strong> judges’<br />

viewing booth is<br />

in front of the Big<br />

Bear Moose Lodge.<br />

Afterward there<br />

is a festival on the<br />

grounds of the<br />

Big Bear Moose<br />

Lodge, which is<br />

located right in the<br />

heart of the small<br />

hamlet.<br />

Bear Valley Community Healthcare District<br />

providing cutting edge mammography machine<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bear Valley Community<br />

Healthcare District<br />

has taken a giant step in<br />

providing cutting edge technology<br />

to residents with<br />

the addition of a Hologic<br />

Mammography Machine at<br />

the hospital. <strong>The</strong> District<br />

has purchased a Genius<br />

3D MAMMOGRAPHY<br />

unit, developed by Hologic,<br />

Inc., a worldwide leader<br />

in Women’s Health. Genius<br />

exams are clinically proven<br />

to significantly increase<br />

the detection of breast cancers,<br />

while simultaneously<br />

decreasing the number of<br />

women asked to return for<br />

additional testing.<br />

Community Market<br />

<strong>The</strong> Genius 3D Mammography<br />

Unit at the Bear<br />

Valley Community Healthcare<br />

District uses 3D technology<br />

to scan for irregularities<br />

in breast tissue. In<br />

conventional 2D mammography,<br />

overlapping tissue<br />

is a leading reason why<br />

small breast cancers may<br />

be missed and normal tissue<br />

may appear abnormal,<br />

leading to unnecessary callbacks.<br />

A Genius exam includes<br />

a three-dimensional<br />

method of imaging that can<br />

greatly reduce the tissue<br />

overlap effect.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hologic Mammography<br />

Machine is transforming<br />

breast cancer screening<br />

and diagnosis to ensure radiologists<br />

can find even the<br />

most invasive cancers at the<br />

earliest stage possible.<br />

Large clinical studies in<br />

the U.S. and Europe have<br />

demonstrated the positive<br />

benefits of a Genius exam.<br />

<strong>The</strong> largest study to date<br />

on breast cancer screening<br />

using the Genius exam was<br />

published in the June 25,<br />

2014 issue of the Journal of<br />

the American Medical Association.<br />

Findings include:<br />

A 41 percent increase in<br />

the detection of invasive<br />

breast cancers.<br />

A 29 percent increase in<br />

the detection of all breast<br />

cancers.<br />

A 15 percent decrease in<br />

women recalled for additional<br />

imaging.<br />

Bear Valley Community<br />

Healthcare District is committed<br />

to the fight against<br />

breast cancer. In offering the<br />

Genius exam, its radiology<br />

department provides a more<br />

accurate tool for breast cancer<br />

screening. <strong>The</strong> Genius<br />

is now in operation at Bear<br />

Valley Community Healthcare<br />

District. Patients need<br />

to check with their insur-<br />

Chautauqua Meetings…<br />

In the late 19th and early<br />

20th centuries, Chautauqua<br />

was an adult educational<br />

movement bringing entertainment<br />

and culture for the<br />

community. A tent would<br />

go up and speakers, teachers,<br />

musicians, entertainers,<br />

preachers and specialists of<br />

the day would present programs.<br />

After several days,<br />

the Chautauqua would fold<br />

its tents and move on.<br />

By the mid-1920s, when<br />

circuit Chautauquas were at<br />

their peak, they appeared in<br />

over 10,000 communities to<br />

audiences of more than 45<br />

million; by about 1940 they<br />

had run their course.<br />

Former U.S. President<br />

<strong>The</strong>odore Roosevelt was<br />

quoted as saying that Chautauqua<br />

is “the most American<br />

thing in America.”<br />

Relay for Life is a community<br />

based fundraising<br />

event of the American Cancer<br />

Society. Each year, more<br />

than 5,000 Relay for Life<br />

events take place in over 20<br />

countries.<br />

To donate, visit www.relayforlife.org/bigbearca.<br />

Events are held in local<br />

communities, campus<br />

universities and in virtual<br />

worlds. As the American<br />

Cancer Society’s most successful<br />

fundraiser and the<br />

organization’s signature<br />

event, the mission of Relay<br />

for Life is to raise funds to<br />

improve cancer survival, decrease<br />

the incidence of cancer,<br />

and improve the quality<br />

of life for cancer patients<br />

and their caretakers.<br />

A Relay for Life event is<br />

organized under a volunteer<br />

Relay Committee and<br />

implemented by volunteers.<br />

It is often organized as a<br />

multi-day public gathering,<br />

spanning all day and night<br />

in a large outdoor space and<br />

many people bring tents and<br />

camp out around the walking<br />

tracks. Currently, almost<br />

4 million people take part in<br />

Relay events in over 5,000<br />

communities in the United<br />

States.<br />

It is estimated that Relay<br />

for Life events have raised<br />

around $5 billion. <strong>The</strong> first<br />

team to raise over $1 million<br />

was the Rosebud Miners.<br />

<strong>The</strong> largest virtual fundraising<br />

event is Relay for Life<br />

of Second Life, which has<br />

raised more than $2,000,000<br />
