Mountain History Museum Opening Memorial Day
weekend
Museum seeking
new docents
By Louise Cecil
The Mountain History Museum
in Lake Arrowhead will be
reopening for the summer season
beginning Memorial Day weekend.
The museum, which is operated
by the Rim of the World Historical
Society, (ROWHS) has displays on
history with a mountain connection.
The ROWHS is a grass
roots organization that began in
Crestline as the Crest Forest Historical
Society in 1986. Its goal is
to preserve and share the San Bernardino
Mountains’ rich history.
The organization was honored as
the 2017 Non-Profit of the Year by
the Lake Arrowhead Area Chamber
of Commerce
The museum volunteers are
hosting a “Coffee with the Volunteers”
for those who may be interested
in donating some of their time
to this worthy venture on Saturday,
May 4th, 10:00 at the museum, located
at 27176 Peninsula Drive in
Lake Arrowhead. Volunteers have
the opportunity to donate a little
or a lot of their time and talents.
ROWHS invites you to consider
volunteering and sharing mountain
history with locals and visitors who
come to the museum, as it is meaningful
way to serve the mountain
community.
ROWHS needs docents to
fill 3-hour shifts on Friday, Saturday
and Sundays from Memorial Day
weekend though mid-October. And
to help at special events throughout
the summer. For more information,
please contact Cindy Burnett (909)
273-4291 or cindyburnett123@
gmail.com or come to the May 4th
Coffee.
Docents are educated about
the displays, so they feel comfortable
sharing the information with
the visitors. If you wish to learn
more about local history, this is a
good and fun way to do it with others
who also have an interest in the
communities past.
The Rim of the World Historical
Society will be sponsoring

in June at Lake Arrowhead, plus it
will have numerous special days,

Dean Lent—From Film And TV To
Semi-Retirement
by Steven Peter
Raised in the San Francisco
Bay area, Dean Lent was always
looking and watching and obsessing
over all the wondrous and beautiful
(AND ugly and banal) things
as a child out the car window of his
parents’ station wagon. This was especially
true on the many road trips
they took spotting crazy road side
attractions, farms, theme restaurants,
orchards, bridges, and lake
and forest scenes. They all held
drama and humor, with endless patterns
of light and shape that tickled
his curious brain.
As Dean got older, he never
gave up his love of scenic photography,
but followed a similar path and
graduated with honors from UCLA
film school in 1985. As an adult this
obsession led to a career as a cinematographer
in film and television.
Monks by Dean Lent
The many films he worked on gave
him the opportunity to experiment
with landscapes which included
much of the American Southwest,
Iceland, France, Canada and Mexico.
He received much praise for his
unique approach to landscape cinematography.
Over the years, Dean has
worked as Director of
Photography on independent
features including
the Sundance darling
“Gas Food Lodging,” and
“Jack Frost Killer Snowman”;
in recent years he’s
shot TV segments in L.A.,
New York and Chicago for
Tyra Banks, Nate Berkus
and Steve Harvey. Dean is
now “unofficially semi-retired” in
Truck on a pole-Dean Lent
Twin Peaks just focusing on his still
photography.
Now, Dean focuses on his
still photography (which is far
more relaxing) and enjoys many
road trips a year seeking those odd
things out his car window that he so
loved as a child. Always focusing
on the strange, the absurd
and, occasionally,
the sublime, “painting”
with broad strokes of intense
color and contrast
and texture and finding
beauty in what most
would simply drive by
and ignore. Dean shoots
on a Nikon Full Frame
D810 and uses Photoshop
Lightroom, and his
history in film/tv also give his work
a cinematic feel.
You may find his work at
the Mountain Arts Gallery in Lake
Arrowhead; 28200 State Highway
189, Lower Suite Bldg-E-120 or
call 909-744-8450 for info or directions.
