a.m. on Saturday,<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 />

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 />

Eliza Tibbets, was an<br />
activist in Washington, DC,<br />
for progressive social causes,<br />
including freedmen’s rights<br />
and universal suffrage before<br />

bringing the citrus industry<br />

trees. Eliza Tibbets was also<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 />
since 2005.<br />
