Observation planes like this Grumman OV-1 Mohawk will be featured during the
Planes of Fame Air Museum’s Living History Flying Event on Saturday, Nov. 5.
Planes of Fame Looks
at Eyes in the Sky
A
erial Observation and Forward Air Control Missions will be the
subject of the Living History Flying Event hosted by Planes of
Fame Air Museum at the Chino Airport on Saturday, Nov. 5. The
event will begin at 10am with a seminar describing the very first military
mission of manned aircraft and conclude with a flight demonstration by
a Planes of Fame Air Museum warbird.
Decades before the Wright Brothers made the first manned, powered
flight, aerial observation was a primary mission of aircraft in the form of
manned balloons. As far back as the 18th Century, and during the 19th
Century as well, especially in the American Civil War, observation balloons were used to effectively track the movements of enemy forces and
direct artillery fire. That mission was subsequently passed on to manned
aircraft during World War I.
At each monthly Living History Flying Event, members in attendance can have their names entered into a drawing for a free membersupported warbird orientation flight.
Open to the public from 10am until 5pm Sunday through Friday, and
from 9am until 5pm on Saturday, Planes of Fame Air Museum is only
closed on Christmas and Thanksgiving. General admission is $11, youngsters 5-11 are admitted for $4, and admission is free for accompanied
children under five. For More information, call (909)597-7576; or visit

Big Horse Corn Maze & Harvest Festival
Pumpkin Patch • Festival
Corona
The end of summer traditionally brings harvest time at many of the local farmers that once
were a staple of the Inland Empire. With the
change of seasons comes the annual opening
of the Big Horse Corn Maze, Pumpkin Patch,
and Harvest Festival at the Big Horse Feed &
Mercantile in southern Temecula.
Big Horse features 12 acres of corn maze in
the design of “California Farmers Feeding the
World.” This, the 11th authentic corn maze on
the property, is traditionally focused on either
patriotic or agricultural themes as many mazes
are through the county. As the largest one in
Southern California, visitors are drawn from as
far away as Santa Barbara, Victorville and the
Desert communities to pay for the chance to
get lost for an hour or two in 6-8’ corn stalks.
Pumpkin bowling, corn cannon, pig races,
and ducky races round out the entrainment
that can take an afternoon to get through.
One aspect of the recent harvest festivals
that is unique to Big Horse is the planning and
grooming of a full-sized
baseball diamond in the
corn field, ala the movie
by Kevin Costner in
1989, Field of Dreams.
A good swat of the bat
can drive a baseball into
the corn stalks just as Joe
Johnson and Ty Cobb
portrayed in the movie.
Special to this year is
the addition of unique
craft exhibitions on the
weekends of rare talents
such as gold panning,
sheep shearing, blacksmithing, and even an
old-fashioned pie eating
contest.
The Big Horse Corn
Maze is open Oct. 8
Get lost in 8’ stalks of

corn at the Big Horse

Corn Maze.

Tickets on Sale for the CATS
Adaptation of ‘A Christmas Carol’
T
he Community Arts Theater
Society of Big Bear Valley
(CATS) announced that it will
present its original stage adaptation of A Christmas Carol, beginning Friday, Nov. 18 at the Big Bear
Lake Performing Arts Center with a
special discount preview. The show
plays a total of 11 performances with
7:30pm evening shows on Nov. 18,
19, 22, 25, 26, 30, Dec. 2 and 3 and
1:30pm matinees on Nov. 20, 27,
and Dec. 4.
All performances are reserved seating and prices range from $16 to $27
for adults, $15 to $25 for seniors and
$9 to $18 for students/children, depending on date and location of seats. Tickets are now
on sale through the CATS website at www.bigbeartheater.org and at the PAC Box office at (909) 866-4970.
This new version of the Charles Dickens classic
was specially adapted for CATS by its director KarenSargent Rachels and was originally presented in 2009.
Rachels was inspired by a chance remark from an
San Bernardino
Musical
Home Tour
T
Antiques Roadshow appraiser of a
letter written by Charles Dickens,
telling a member of Royalty that
he, himself, was unable to procure
tickets to one of his sold-out concert readings for her. The appraiser
mentioned that getting tickets to a
Dickens reading was like trying to
get tickets to a Bruce Springsteen
concert. Further research indicated
that Dickens made two trips to
America, also doing a series of
concert readings of this works.
From this premise, this CATS
adaptation of A Christmas Carol,
featuring the character of Charles
Dickens, was born.
Much of Dickens original narrative is retained in
this version, and is brought to life on stage by a cast
of over 60 actors of all ages. Another CATS innovation for this stage production is the involvement of
the Clock Sprites, a group of mischievous sprites
who live in The Clock and help the spirits redeem
Mr. Scrooge. IER
he San Bernardino
Symphony Guild’s
Musical Home Tour,
“Celebrating History,” is
scheduled for Sunday, Nov.
13, from 1-5pm. Tickets
are $25 per person which
includes musical entertainment at each location as
well as docent-led tours and

To purchase tickets, call
the San Bernardino Symphony office at (909) 3815388. All proceeds from the

S
infonia Mexicana’s Día de Muertos Gala Concert celebrates Mexico’s
most colorful and magical holiday by honoring the legacies of
Mexico’s most beloved artists—the singers and composers who forged
the modern mariachi tradition—and celebrating the lives of our loved
ones who are no longer with us. This is a family celebration, with gleeful,
dancing skeletons and spooky songs for the kids, but also world-class
performance by a mariachi like no other with 23 musicians, and featuring
the best and most versatile singers in the world.
Hear the music of Javier Solis, Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Lola Beltran,
Lucha Reyes, Agustín Lara, María Grever, Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete,
and others.
El día de los muertos is one of the biggest holidays in Mexico and celebrations are becoming more common in areas of the United States, with
a large Hispanic population. Its origins are distinctly Mexican. During
the time of the Aztecs, a month long summer celebration was overseen by
the goddess Mictecacihuatl, the Lady of the Dead. After the Aztecs were
conquered by Spain and Catholicism became the dominant religion, the
customs became intertwined with the Christian commemoration of All
Saints’ Day on November 1.
Specifics of the celebration vary with region, but one of the most
common customs is the making of elaborate altars to welcome departed
spirits home. Vigils are held and families often go to cemeteries to fix
up the graves of their departed relatives. Festivities frequently include
traditional foods such as pan de muerto (bread of the dead), which can

conceal a miniature skeleton. Plans for the day are made throughout the
year, including gathering the goods to be offered to the dead. During
the two-day period, families usually clean and decorate graves. Most
visit the cemeteries where their loved ones are buried and decorate their
graves with ofrendas (offerings), which often include orange marigolds
called “cempasúchitl.” In modern Mexico, this name is sometimes
replaced with the term “Flor de Muerto” (“Flower of the Dead”). These
flowers are thought to attract souls of the dead to the offerings. Toys
are brought for dead children (los angelitos, or “the little angels”), and
bottles of tequila, mezcal or pulque or jars of atole for adults. Families
will also offer trinkets or the deceased’s favorite candies on the grave.
Ofrendas are also put in homes, usually with foods, sugar skulls and
beverages such as atole. The ofrendas are left out in the homes as a
welcoming gesture for the deceased.
Some people believe the spirits of the dead eat the “spiritual essence”
of the ofrendas food, so even though the celebrators eat the food after the
festivities, they believe it lacks nutritional value. Pillows and blankets are
left out so that the deceased can rest after their long journey. In some parts
of Mexico, such as the towns of Mixquic, Pátzcuaro and Janitzio, people
spend all night beside the graves of their relatives. Some families build
altars or small shrines in their homes, these usually have the Christian
cross, statues or pictures of the Blessed Virgin Mary, pictures of deceased
relatives and other persons, scores of candles and an ofrenda. Traditionally,
families spend some time around the altar, praying and telling anecdotes
about the deceased. In some locations, celebrants wear shells on their
clothing, so that when they dance, the noise will wake up the dead; some
will also dress up as the deceased.
Sinfonia Mexicana was voted San Bernardino county’s “best” live

newspapers. As a “thank you” to the community for its continued support,
Sinfonia is offering limited $11 seats for the Dia de Los Muertos event.

Trains Bring Gardens To Life At The
Southwest Garden Railroad Show
R
ailroads have always had a warm spot in
people’s hearts. Almost everyone can tell a
story of how trains have affected them or a
family member. The Southwest Garden Railroad
Show (SWGRS) brings all those memories back
and gives us all the opportunity to get together
and enjoy the real thing down to the model
trains.
This will be the 4th annual show held at the
Fairplex in Pomona. The show will be held on
Nov. 5-6, from 9am to 5pm both days. Admission for the show is $10 for adults, kids 16 and
under are free.
During that weekend, a great railroad
museum, the oldest and probably the biggest
garden railroad, will both be open, along with
a miniature train ride for the kids, railroad displays from around the west coast, and manufacturers and vendors selling the best in large scale
model trains. SWGRS also boasts a large live
steam track; many garden railroaders run trains
just like the real steam locomotives.
Large scale trains have been growing in
popularity for some time and southern California is a great environment to add trains to your
garden. Imagine railroad tracks winding in and
out of landscaping, plants, miniature structures,
around ponds, through tunnels, and across
bridges. Garden railroading is a hobby that
involves the entire family and a challenge for
the average gardener. Herbs, dwarf plants, and
miniature trees and a little creativity are used
to create an illusion of a little world inside your
garden giving it some animation and making it
come alive. G scale trains are a very diversified
scale of model trains and great for people of
all ages. Adults will find they are very detailed
and durable. Kids like the large size and how
they stay on the tracks. Trains can run by track
power, battery, solar, and live steam. Examples
of all will be at the show.
SWGRS is one of only four large scale model
train shows in the United States. It not only
brings the sights and sounds of railroading, it
also provides seminars on multiple aspects of
the hobby, included with admission. Learn from
Saturdays
experts and get the chance to converse with
many others with similar interests from all over
the country.
This year a railroad engineer’s hat will be
given away to every child coming to the show,
while quantities last.

Mainstreet Theatre Company Opens 6th Season
with ‘Honus and Me: A Baseball Card Adventure’
A
udience members might be forgiven if
they think they have arrived at a baseball
stadium by mistake when the MainStreet
Theatre Company opens its 2011/2012 season
of professional theatre for young audiences in
October. Do not let the peanut and Cracker
Jacks sellers in the lobby fool you. They will
just be setting the stage for the baseball-themed
opening production of MainStreet’s 6th season.
Honus and Me, adapted by Steven Dietz from
the novel by Dan Gutman, opens Oct. 1 and
runs through Oct. 16 at Rancho Cucamonga’s
Lewis Family Playhouse, located at 12505 Cultural Center Drive.
The play is based on the first in a series of
Baseball Card Adventure books by author Dan
Gutman about Little Leaguer Joey Stoshack. Joey
lives for baseball, but is not a great player – in
fact, he is known as the strikeout-king.
But magical things happen when Joey
touches a baseball card – and in this surprising play, the card he touches is none other than
the famous T-206 Honus Wagner – the most
valuable card in the world! The story brings the
legendary ball player to life and sends Joey back
in time to the 1909 World Series.
“Honus and Me is about baseball, of course.
We are thrilled to be doing it here in Rancho
Cucamonga, which is such a baseball town!
But it is also about families, about continuing
to try even when you think you should give up
and about learning how to do the right thing.
The play is a real gem and we are hoping that
all families, whether they enjoy baseball or not,
will come out and enjoy it together,” MainStreet
Producer Mireya “Murry” Hepner said.
Steven Dietz is one of America’s most widely
produced and published contemporary playwrights. Since 1983, his plays have been seen at
over one hundred regional theatres in the United
States, as well as Off-Broadway and all over
the world. He is the recipient of many awards,
including the PEN U.S.A. Award in Drama (for
Lonely Planet), the Kennedy Center Fund for
New American Plays Award (Fiction and Still
Life With Iris); the Lila Wallace/Reader’s Digest
Award (The Rememberer); and many others. In
addition to Honus and Me, first produced by
the Seattle Children’s Theatre in 2006, Dietz’s
adaptations for children include Go, Dog.Go!,
with Alison Gregory (produced in MainStreet’s
2007/2008 season) and Jackie and Me, based on
another book in the “& Me” series.
MainStreet has gathered talent from all over
Southern California to bring the play to life. In
the case of Honus and Me, the team not only
includes tremendously talented artists, but a
group of true baseball fans. Director Abigail
Deser, a dedicated Little League mom, returns to
MainStreet after staging Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse
last season. Abigail’s career took her from New
York to Chicago, where she was a member of the
late great Roadworks Productions and a threetime guest of the Steppenwolf Theater Company,
among many others.
Set designer Tom Buderwitz’s (who coached
his own son’s Little League team for many years)
extensive regional and Los Angeles theatre credits
include South Coast Repertory, Geffen Playhouse, Intiman Theatre, Pasadena Playhouse,
Laguna Playhouse, Hudson Theater, Odyssey
Theater, Reprise Theater Company, Celebration
Theater and Theatre at Boston Court.
The cast is led by Kevin Stidham as Joey and
Cody Lyman as Honus Wagner. Kevin knows
firsthand what it is like to be a young ballplayer.
He started playing baseball when he was twelve
in England and by the time he was seventeen, after playing for the Under-eighteen Great Britain
National Team, his American coach suggested he
come to Southern California to play. With his
parents’ permission, he moved to America and
pursued baseball while attending high school in
Cerritos. As he entered college, he found his way
