Arthropolooza 

The ultimate bugfest at the 

County Museum 

As Valentine’s Day approaches, isn’t 

it time to give some thought about 

relationships – among insects? On the 

weekend of Feb. 17 and 18 between noon 

and 4pm the San Bernardino County Museum 

will explore love bugs and bad romances 

during Arthropolooza! The Ultimate Bugfest. 

Discover the fascinating world of arthropods—insects, 

arachnids, myriapods, and 

more. At the same time, activities and presentations 

will look at love from a whole new 

perspective: symbiotic relationships. Parasites 

need love, too! 

Special guests will be on hand to display 

and answer questions about beneficial 

insects—and pests! An entomologist at the 

University of California at Riverside will talk 

about the devastating Asian citrus psyllid pest, 

its associated bacterial disease, and how the 

public can help protect the citrus industry. 

The UCR Entomology Department will set 

up interactive activities. Master Gardeners will 

share information on pollinators and about 

gardening for butterflies and beneficial insects. 

On Saturday only, San Bernardino County 

Environmental Health Services will provide information 

about mosquito and vector control. 

Family fun activities include insect games, 

take-home creepy-crawly craft creations, 

insect stories and activities, and live insect 

encounters in the museum’s courtyard and 

Exploration Station. At the Museum Store 

visitors can purchase a variety of insect-related 

merchandise, from the ever-popular icky rubber 

bugs to insect books, toys, and posters. 

The San Bernardino County Museum is at 2024 

Orange Tree Lane, at the California Street exit 

from Interstate 10 in Redlands. The museum is 

open Tuesdays through Sundays from 9am to 

5pm. General admission is $10 (adult), $8 (military 

or senior), $7 (student), and $5 (child aged 5 to 

12). Children under five and Museum Association 

members are admitted free. Parking is free. For more 

information, visit www.sbcountymuseum.org. The

Celebrating 15 Years 

Of Bookselling 

RIVERSIDE’S DOWNTOWN 

BOOKSTORE IS READY 

FOR 2018 

By Nadia and Vera Lee 

Co-owners, Downtowne Bookstore 

BOOK BOSSES: Nadia and Vera Lee, owners of Downtowne Bookstore. 

One more great year, another great opportunity 

to add a bit of spice to the wonderful 

atmosphere that is downtown Riverside. 

This year our Christmas tree gained a few more 

owls. Last year we ended with 125. This year it 

was more than 130. Thank you to all who donated 

to this endeavor. The count for the owls in 

the rest of the store surpassed 300 - again, thank 

you, all of you. We love them all! 

Our philosophy section has been plumped up, 

and the children's section, though always in flux, 

is still very healthy. 

We have started making special internet 

orders for items we do not have in the store. It 

is a service for people who do not have a credit 

or debit card, or do not want their numbers 

out in the ethernet, or do not have a computer 

and want someone else to do the work for 

them. The trade tickets are acceptable payment 

for these orders. We charge an additional 

16% plus tax, but you know what you will be 

getting and when. 

Come drop by and visit us. Our knowledge 

of the building, previous businesses before being 

a bookstore, are limited, but our knowledge of 

books - with the assistance of our trusted computer 

- can be extensive. I love a challenge! 

The Downtown Bookstore is located in the heart 

of Downtown Riverside at 3582 Main St. For more

THE 2018 RIVERSIDE DICKENS FESTIVAL 

The Downtown Tradition 

Celebrates 25 Years Of Wit 

And Wisdom 

In 1992, Joan Patton, Carolyn Grant, and The Friends of the 

Library board conceived the idea of a three-day festival. After a 

year and a half and hundreds of hours later, the Riverside Dickens 

Festival was born on a hot Saturday afternoon in September 1993 on 

the downtown library lawn. In 1994, Riverside Dickens Festival, Inc. 

was established as a nonprofit organization. 

Why Dickens? Charles Dickens was the most influential and 

famous writer of the19th century. He made a difference in changing 

society and making a better world in which to live. The festival would 

highlight the library and encourage reading, promote literacy, and 

enjoyment of the dramatic and cultural arts by the general public. 

Over the years, through the dedicated work of hundreds of volunteers 

and the generous financial contributions of individuals, businesses, 

the city, and county, the festival has grown to a Friday night 

kick-off at Mr. Pickwick’s Pub Night, two full days of activities on 

Saturday and Sunday with Mr. Fezziwig’s Ball on Saturday night, and 

ending on Sunday evening with the Evensong musical program. 

The 25th Riverside Dickens Festival takes place on February 24 

and 25 at historic Downtown Riverside on the Pedestrian Mall between 

University Avenue and Eleventh Street. For more information, 

go online to www.dickensfest.com or call (951) 781-3168.

“Nobody does it better than Jeffrey,” Todd 

Vigiletti, Executive Producer at Center Stage, 

said. “Jeffrey and I have been friends for a long 

time and when we decided to add the show at 

the theater, I knew we could only do it if we had 

him. He is not only an amazingly talented person, 

but a genuinely nice guy and a true joy to 

work with. I wanted our cast members to have 

the opportunity to work with someone who has 

really ‘been there and done that’.” 

Smokey Joe’s features 40 great hit songs 

including “Charlie Brown”, “Yakety Yak”, “Poison 

Ivy, “Spanish Harlem”, “Stand By Me” and

SINGING IN THE RAIN 

We are not sure if in California that “April 

showers bring May flowers” but we do know 

that April will bring Singing in the Rain to Center 

Stage, April 6 th – April 29 th . One of the most 

beloved musicals of all time will come to life at 

Center Stage. 

This show is sure to be a hit as these classic 

characters come to life in the theater’s intimate 

setting. There are not too many places that you 

can see a full scale musical in such a beautiful 

and intimate setting. The burning question is 

“will you make it rain?” 

“The truth is we do not know yet,” said Vigiletti. 

“We are looking into that, we keep joking 

that we are going to give the front row squirt 

bottles to spray onto the stage. We hope people 

will just come out and see for themselves.” 

Singing in the Rain features songs such as 

“Good Morning”, “Make Em Laugh”, “You 

Are My Lucky Star”, “Singing in the Rain”, and 

many more. 

Singing In The Rain runs April 6th - April 29th. 

TIBBIES VIVA LAS VEGAS

experience? You have found it. Center Stage is 

proud to present TIBBIES VIVA LAS VEGAS. 

This show is dedicated to the artists and variety 

shows that have graced the Las Vegas stages over 

the past 75 years. 

Another thing that makes the TIBBIES 

shows such a special experience is the fact that 

the talented performers in the show are also 

your servers for the evening, so after they serve 

you a delicious dinner, they trade in their aprons 

for amazing costumes and take to the stage! 

“This element really makes the entire event 

interactive,” Vigiletti said. “The audience gets a 

chance to know the performers before the show 

begins and it makes them feel like they have a 

family member to cheer for up on the stage”. 

VIVA LAS VEGAS runs May 11- June 17 th . 

ANNIE 

Finally in July Center Stage is proud to 

partner with IVRT (Inland Valley Repertory 

Theater) for a production of Annie . This show 

is great for the entire family and is sure to sell 

out. 

“We are so thrilled to collaborate with IVRT 

at our theater. Bringing our teams together 

makes perfect sense and we are looking forward 

to welcoming the IVRT family of patrons and 

theater lovers to Center Stage,” said Todd. 

The show runs two weeks only July 13 th – July 22 nd .

If I Cannot Inspire Love, 

I Will Cause Fear! 

Frankenstein’s 

Monster Incites 

Chaos on the Barnes 

Stage this Spring 

“I, the miserable and 

the abandoned, am an 

abomination, to be spurned at, 

and kicked, and trampled on.” 

– The Monster 

Frankenstein, based on the original masterpiece 

by Mary Shelley, is a tale of horror 

not about a mindless beast, but of a creation 

longing for acceptance and companionship. 

This fresh perspective on the life of Dr. 

Victor Frankenstein is a chilling story of great 

triumph and the gravest tragedy that occurs 

as a result, forcing us to ask: Is it nature or 

nurture that truly makes one a monster? 

For his adaptation of Frankenstein, 

CSUSB theater arts professor and director 

Tom Provenzano was influenced by stylized 

graphic novels, with the design team drawing 

inspiration from acclaimed comic artists 

such as Bernie Wrightson (“Swamp Thing”), 

Mike Mignola (“Hellboy”), and Dave McKean 

(“Sandman”), bringing something truly special 

and unique to the theater stage. 

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein will rise on the 

CSUSB Barnes Theatre stage March 9, 10, 15, 

16 and 17 at 8pm, March 11 and 18 at 2pm. 

Individual and season tickets can be 

purchased from the CSUSB Theatre Arts Box 

Office, or online at theatre.csusb.edu. Individual 

tickets are $6 for students and children 

under 17; $12 for faculty, staff, senior citizens, 

and military; $15 for adults. Performances 

take place in the Ronald E. Barnes Theatre on 

the CSUSB campus. Parking at CSUSB is $6 

Monday-Friday and $3 on the weekend. 

For additional information, contact the Theatre Box Office 

at (909) 537-5884 or go online to theatrearts@csusb. 

edu. For more information on Cal State San Bernardino,

In the Enchanted Garden, a poisonous witch has been waiting hundreds of years for 

the right man to stumble into her lair. To her delight a prince arrives, but when he 

refuses to be her husband, she turns him into the visage of a beast. He must stay in 

her wintry garden forever, that is, until either he marries her, or until a beautiful maiden 

falls in love with him. Don’t miss this charming adaptation of a classic story! 

Sorry, no children under 5 are admitted

Temecula Valley Symphony’s Concert Season 

Including “Classical Mystery 

Tour” the World’s Premier 

Beatles Tribute, Slated for 

March 17 th ! 

The Temecula Valley Symphony heads into 

its 2018 season conducted by Music Director 

John Mario, an internationally known 

conductor and opera coach. Per Alana Joos, 

Managing and Artistic Director, “Audiences 

love his humor and program notes delivered live 

from the podium, providing crafty anecdotes 

about each piece or composer. Patrons enjoy our 

diverse programming that includes everything 

from the traditional classics, to pops, and epic 

works from major motion pictures. Variety is 

key to our successful performances. I sum up 

our concerts as Symphonic Music with A New 

Twist!” 

February 10, at 2pm the Symphony will 

present “BOLD & BRASSY…SWEET & 

SASSY” opening with Copland’s Fanfare for the 

Common Man. Kate Prestia-Schaub, flutist, will 

perform Carmen Fantasy for Flute and Orchestra. 

Two Bagatelles features the brass and percussion 

section and the TVS Woodwind Quintet will 

perform Sextet for Piano & Woodwind Quintet by 

Poulenc. Classical fans will enjoy Divertimento 

No. 2 in D major, K.131 by Mozart, performed 

by a chamber orchestra and their outstanding 

horn section and Serenade to Music by Ralph 

Vaughan Williams. 

The world’s premier Beatles Tribute, 

“CLASSICAL MYSTERY TOUR,” will 

highlight the season on March 17, at 2pm. 

They’ve performed with many major symphonies 

and now Classical Mystery Tour is coming 

to Temecula! The four musicians in Classical 

Mystery Tour look and sound just like The 

Beatles, but Classical Mystery Tour is more than 

just a rock concert. The show presents more 

than two dozen Beatles tunes performed exactly 

as they were originally recorded. Hear “Penny 

Lane” with a live trumpet section, experience 

the beauty of “Yesterday” with an acoustic guitar 

and string quartet, enjoy the classical/rock blend 

on “I Am the Walrus,” and relish the cascading 

crescendos on “A Day in the Life.” From early 

Beatles music on through the solo years, Classical 

Mystery Tour is the best of The Beatles like 

you’ve never heard them before. You might say 

it’s the best show the Beatles never did! 

“MEDITERRANEAN ODYSSEY” will 

feature two Spanish Dancers on April 14, at 

2pm and the Season Finale concert May 19, 

at 2pm “CHAMPIONS” showcases the Symphony 

& Chorus on Verdi’s Triumphal March 

from Aida with five opera soloists, plus some 

movie soundtrack favorites.

Lincoln Shrine Open House Features 

New Exhibits and Civil War Reenactors 

Event Takes Place 

On February 10th 

Visit the Lincoln Memorial Shrine on 

Saturday, February 10, for the 46th annual 

Open House. The event will begin at 

11am and run until 3pm in Smiley Park in Redlands 

and will feature an array of new exhibits in 

the museum and displays by Civil War reenactor 

groups throughout the park. 

The Open House will once again join forces 

with the Lincoln Pilgrimage, a program hosted by 

the Grayback District of California Inland Empire 

Council, Boy Scouts of America since 1940. 

This year’s new exhibitions will include 

additions to the Shrine collections related to 

the experiences of enslaved people and the role 

of slavery in the Civil War, the 

Southern perspective during the 

war, and Abraham Lincoln as a 

lawyer and international statesman. 

Visitors will be treated to 

live music and games. 

In addition to new exhibits, 

the Open House will also 

feature dozens of Civil War 

re-enactors, including artillery 

demonstrations by the 1st 

Pennsylvania Light Artillery, members of the 7th 

Michigan Volunteer cavalry on horseback, a display 

on Civil War surgery by Dr. Malarkey, and 

Mr. Lincoln presenter Robert Broski presenting 

a stirring rendition of the Gettysburg Address. 

The Inland Empire LEGO User Group will 

also return to display their LEGO Civil War 

battle scene and Abraham Lincoln LEGO figure. 

“The Open House grows every year and we 

are always delighted to see how many people 

join us to celebrate President Lincoln and commemorate 

the Civil War,” said Shrine Associate 

Archivist Maria Carrillo. 

The Lincoln Memorial Shrine is the only 

institution in the west focusing on Lincoln and 

the American Civil War. 

The museum is located at 125 W. Vine Street in 

Redlands. Admission is free. For further information, call

BADGE DAY 

2-FOR-1 TICKETS AT 

BIG BEAR SNOW PLAY 

Lake Arrowhead Village hosts year-round events which makes it 

a perfect place to hang out with friends and family. Considered the 

“downtown” of the Lake Arrowhead mountain communities, as well 

as located in the heart of Southern California, Lake Arrowhead Village 

presents numerous special events and lively entertainment throughout 

the year offering something for everyone. 

Join the fun and visit Lake Arrowhead Village to experience live music 

at the largest free outdoor Summer Concert Series in Southern California 

featuring a Beer Garden and dynamic bands with diverse musical 

styles ranging from Rhythm & Blues, to Classic Rock, to Country. It’s a 

great location to celebrate the holiday events with activities such as the 

Village Easter Egg Hunt, Arrowhead Lake Association’s annual 4th of 

July Fireworks over the lake, Oktoberfest, Halloween Trick-or-Treating, 

and Santa’s Tree Lighting Ceremony. Check out their Friday Farmers’ 

Market, Antique and Classic Wooden Boat Show, Cruisin’ the Village 

Classic Car Show and the Annual Fireman’s Bonfire. Lake Arrowhead 

Village is home to attractions such as The Arrowhead Queen Boat Tour, 

a 1-hour narrated boat ride around the lake that offers history, folklore 

and up close views of grand lakefront homes of the rich and famous. 

Kids love Lollipop Park’s Bumper Cars, Carousel, Pirate Ship Ride, 

Crazy Mirror Maze, Candy Store, and the park and playground by the 

lake. If you’re a seasoned professional water skier or a first-timer, McKenzie 

Water Ski School welcomes those looking to experience a great day 

on the lake skiing or wake-boarding. 

Information about Lake Arrowhead Village events, shopping, dining 

and more can be found at www.TheLakeArrowheadVillage.com. 

And while you're visiting the mountains, don't forget to pop into 

Blue Jay Village just two miles West of Lake Arrowhead on Highway 

189. This quaint jewel of the mountain also hosts events all year round 

from Jensen's Pumpkin Patch, Lobsterfest, and weekly wine tastings to 

the Quilt Guild's Annual Quilt Walk, and the famous Blue Jay Christmas 

Parade! 

Jensen’s Market has the best bakery on the mountain and an 

extensive wine/liquor section as well as a delicious deli counter. Health 

Habitat in Blue Jay is your local herb and vitamin store. Blue Jay Day 

Spa offers all kinds of healing massage therapies. There are several 

unique eateries in Blue Jay as well, from diner fare to Mexican food to 

sandwiches and froyo, Blue Jay can serve you something yummy no 

matter what your taste buds are craving! Get your bike fixed at Wake & 

Wheel, shop the unique clothing boutiques, furniture and home décor 

stores and so much more. And if you fall in love with the mountains, 

several experienced real estate firms are located in both Lake Arrowhead 

and Blue Jay and are ready to tell you all about mountain living and 

show you how you, too, can become a “local”. IER 

Badge-carrying personnel get two-for-one lift tickets Wednesdays 

(non-holiday) while enjoying inner tubing in the Southland at Big 

Bear Snow Play. 

Active law enforcement, fire, and military personnel buy one lift pass 

and get another free every Wednesday at Big Bear Snow Play. Just show 

proper ID each Wednesday and get a free lift ticket with the purchase of 

a pass. It’s a $35 value. 

“It’s our way of giving back to those who serve,” said Scott Voigt of 

Big Bear Snow Play. Badge Days are available year-round when Big Bear 

Speedway opens in April (weather permitting) for timed kart racing on a 

Grand Prix-style track. 

Big Bear Snow Play, once a ski area known as Rebel Ridge, offers 

worldclass inner tubing on the longest runs in Southern California. 

As the guns continue to blast jet streams of snow, Big Bear Snow Play 

builds special features like whoop-di-doos and berms in addition to its 

traditional downhill runs. 

For after dark thrills Big Bear Snow Play last season debuted Glow 

Tubing night sessions, as the runs are illuminated by changing strobe 

lights that turn red, blue, yellow, and even black lights. Night Glow Tubing 

is available on Fridays, Saturdays, and holiday periods from 5-9pm. 

Getting to the top of all the snow is easy thanks to Magic Carpet 

uphill lifts that families merely step on and off of. No uphill climb to tire 

parents and kids out means they save all their energy for downhill fun 

and get in all the runs they want. 

Snow gets groomed nightly at Big Bear Snow Play to ensure the best 

possible conditions for guests, who enjoy evenly-spread corduroy for 

their downhill adventures. When it’s 

time for a winter warm-up, head inside 

the heated base lodge for familypriced 

snack bar and video games 

and there’s plenty of paved parking. 

Big Bear Snow Play is open daily 

for inner tubing from 10am-4pm. 

All-day passes include tube rental 

and Magic Carpet lift for $35. 

After dark Glow Tubing sessions 

Fridays, Saturdays, and holidays 

from 5-9pm are priced at $30 

as guests slide on fluorescent 

tubes under alternative 

color lights. 

Big Bear Snow Play is 

in Big Bear on Big Bear 

Blvd. next to Motel 6. Call 

(909) 585-0075 or visit www.

After 91 years of thrilling and exciting crowds of basketball fans 

all over the world, the Harlem Globetrotters will bring their 

2018 Amazing Feats of Basketball World Tour to the Inland 

Empire in February. 

The Harlem Globetrotters will take their show to a new level this 

year by celebrating the special blend of basketball and entertainment 

which has made the team iconic. The team’s upcoming performance 

will showcase the high-flying, fun, and memory-making moments 

that the Globetrotters are known for. The dribbling, the dunking, 

and the shooting – don’t forget, they led all of basketball in 4-point 

shots made in 2017 – will all be on full display during the 2018 tour. 

The Globetrotters feature the world’s largest collection of elite dunkers, including six 

players who have competed in the annual College Slam Dunk contest held during Final Four 

weekend, a Guinness World Record holder for slam dunks, and the 2016 winner of the popular 

TV show The Dunk King. 

01 

The high-flying dunks do not end with the players, as 2018 will also mark the debut of 

the “Flying Globies” – an amazing acrobatic trampoline dunk team, which will defy gravity 

during the game action with their exciting in-air stunts. 

The Globetrotters show is unrivaled in the world of family entertainment, with all-star 

Showmen like Big Easy Lofton, Hi-Lite Bruton, Ant Atkinson, and Hammer Harrison, as 

well as fan favorites Firefly Fisher, Bull Bullard, Thunder Law, and Cheese Chisholm. To 

match the growing popularity of the Globetrotters’ female stars, the team will feature four 

female players – the largest female roster in team history – including TNT Lister, Ace Jackson, 

Hoops Green, and Torch George. 

Additionally, the 2018 tour marks the return of the Globetrotters’ longtime nemesis, the 

Washington Generals. After a long-standing series which saw the Generals lose over 14,000 

times, the team is back from a two-year hiatus to rebuild and refocus around one goal – to 

beat the Globetrotters. After making its retooled debut this summer in the $2 million, 

winner-take-all “The Basketball Tournament,” the new-and-improved Generals are out to 

finally take down the Globetrotters – once and for all. 

Prior to every game, the Globetrotters will bring fans closer than anywhere else in sports, 

with an unmatched pregame fan interaction with its Magic Pass. This ticketed event allows 

fans an exclusive opportunity to interact with the team’s stars on the court, shoot hoops, learn 

tricks, and pose for pictures. After the game, Globetrotter stars will be on hand for additional 

autograph and photo opportunities. 

The Harlem Globetrotters are legendary worldwide, synonymous with one-of-a-kind family 

entertainment and great basketball skills for the past 91 years. Throughout their history, the 

Original Harlem Globetrotters have showcased their iconic talents in 123 countries and territories 

on six continents, often breaking down cultural and societal barriers while providing fans 

with their first-ever basketball experience. Proud inductees of the Naismith Memorial Basketball 

Hall of Fame, the Globetrotters have entertained hundreds of millions of fans – among them 

popes, kings, queens, and presidents – over nine thrilling decades. The American Red Cross is 

the official charity of the Harlem Globetrotters. Sponsored by Entenmann’s Donuts, Ticket Galaxy, 

and Baden Sports, Harlem Globetrotters International, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 

Herschend Enterprises, the largest family-owned themed entertainment company in the U.S. 

Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased at harlemglobetrotters.com and the arena box office. 

Information on group and scout tickets can also be found at harlemglobetrotters.com. For local information 

and promotional discounts go to venue box offices or go online to harlemglobetrotters.com/SoCal (use Promo
