Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest is back! Featuring music straight from Germany
Die Sauerkrauts
Frankenrebellen Express
T
ickets to the 52nd Annual Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest are now on sale. Organizers of Southern California’s #1 Oktoberfest are ready to deliver another authentic Bavarian-style celebration for nine consecutive weekends September 10 to November 5. Ticket options range from general admission, preferred seating options, Sunday FamilyFun Packages, and Über Bürgermeister Party Packs. Other big news for Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest is Frankenrebellen Express, a band direct from Bavaria, will perform two weekends in October. Frankenrebellen Express derives from the Franconia region of Bavaria. They’re slated to perform in Big Bear October 1-2 and 7-9. They sing with thick German accents and deliver exuberant party music that’s driven by a hearty, rhythmic
oompah-pah sound. The other seven weekends are booked with top German-style bands, which includes Die Sauerkrauts, Hazelnuss Das Music, Da Stuben Buden, and Ladyhosen featuring international yodeling sensation Kathrin Jakob. Each band is renowned to stir up good times with a mix of popular cover songs such as “Sweet Caroline,” and “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” original tunes, and traditional Bavarian sing-alongs like “Ein-Prosit,” “Hands to Heaven,” and “Das Esellied.” A second stage located outside, features a variety of regional bands that perform rock ‘n’ roll and country music. Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest is wellknown as the closest thing to the original celebration in Munich, Germany. Just like the original, Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest starts its celebration in September and goes into
Nebraska, in which hundreds of people named Josh duel with pool noodles to crown the “Ultimate Josh.” To date, the event has raised over $20,000 for charity. • In the 1970s, American Kitchen Foods, Inc., perhaps inspired by a picky young eater at home, tried disguising peas in a fry-shaped form with a product called “I hate peas.” • The “Josh Fight,” started in 2021 by Josh Swain after he discovered a number of other folks on social media who shared his moniker, is an event held in Lincoln,
• Sea urchins acquired their name from hedgehogs, which were known as urchins until about the 15th century ... meaning, of course, that sea urchins are therefore essentially ocean hedgehogs. • Prior to 1998, it was illegal in Victoria, Australia, to change a lightbulb unless you were a licensed electrician.
October. What really makes this Oktoberfest more special than others is the alpine environment with evergreens trees, mountain vistas, and a town-square village. This environment naturally reflects the scenery and heritage of the Bavarian Alps of Germany. The food respects German traditions to the tee, including grilled bratwursts and knockwurst sausages, freshmade colossal pretzels, home-style sauerkraut, German potato salad served warm, Bavarian-style potato dumplings, and apple strudel served with warm vanilla sauce. Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest even serves the very same beer poured at Munich’s Oktoberfest! There are two full-service bars and three different beer gardens, including the Tiki Bar, which provides a variety of micro brews and craft beer, ideal for beer connoisseurs. The weekend festivities take place at Big Bear Lake Convention Center, located at 42900 Big Bear Blvd. For complete details regarding tickets, pricing, and general information, visit bigbearevents.com.
• Titanic director James Cameron drew that famous nude sketch of Rose in the film. (Kate Winslet wore a swimsuit for the scene.) • Dolly Parton once offered 7thand 8th-graders in her hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee, a gift of $500 if they graduated from high school, reducing the dropout rate from 30% to 6%. • “Poecilonym” is a synonym for the word synonym.

Strength training is one of the best things we can do for ourselves to maintain strong bones, increase muscle strength and improve mobility, balance and coordination. Those things in turn reduce our risk of falling and help maintain our independence. Many of us, however, don’t know where and how to start. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in conjunction with Tufts University, has a free 126-page book titled “Growing Stronger: Strength Training for Older Adults” (www.cdc.gov/ physicalactivity/downloads/ growing_stronger.pdf). If you can’t download the book, call the CDC at 800-232-4636, and it can be mailed to you. Start using the book (either reading it online or having it sent to you) by completing the test to see if you need to run the program by your doctor, especially if you’ve had any surgeries for your knee or hip. Your second step should be to

read the section on getting motivated, because yes, some of us need coaxing to start exercising. For additional information on senior exercise from the CDC, take a look at www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/basics/older_adults/ index.htm. For an additional source of help, consider investing in two sessions with an exercise coach who specializes in seniors. Things they’ll be able to teach you include how to do each exercise and how to use hand weights without straining joints. At the second session you’ll be able to ask any question that came up and verify that you’re still doing the movements correctly. It’s hard to know what information to trust these days, but one source I’ve always trusted is Consumer Reports. When not testing the items they review, they go straight to good, solid sources for information. Search consumerreports.org for “Strength Training Tips to Live Longer and Better.” And while you’re looking around the Consumer Reports website, consider signing up for their weekly email newsletters. They’re free, and you can chose between cars, health, home, smart buying, money, food and more. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Asha Mandela of Clermont, FL and her 19 foot, 6.5 inch head of hair made it into the Guinness Book of World Records in 2009. In the ensuing 13 years her locks continued to grow and have now reached the 110 foot mark, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens. It’s a good thing she has a hairdresser for a husband because she says she is
not going to get a haircut anytime soon. She calls her mane, Cobra, because as she told the folks at Guinness: “I don’t like the term dreadlocks because I don’t think there’s anything [to] dread about my locks ... When I’m ready to go into my sleep chamber with my Cobra baby, I would have them tied up in a little sack and we cuddle and talk to each other.”

Does the name Joey Chestnut ring a bell? He’s the guy who keeps winning those hot dog eating contests that take place in Coney Island each Fourth of July. Apparently frankfurters aren’t the only tasty delight that piques his interest. He holds 55 eating records having devoured
record breaking amounts of pork brain, tacos, jalapeno poppers and even twinkies, to name a few. However, most recently he broke the record for popcorn when he downed 32 twenty-four ounce servings of popcorn in just 8 minutes at a contest held in Indianapolis.

Burn Pits and the PACT Act The Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act, also known as the PACT Act, is intended to provide benefits and health care to veterans who were exposed to toxins and the subsequent illnesses from those toxins. We’re talking about burn pits and other airborne substances. The list of presumptive illnesses will expand over the next several years to include brain cancer, gastrointestinal cancer of any type, glioblastoma, head cancer of any type, kidney cancer, lymphatic
This is the only number that includes all the digits arranged in alphabetical order. cancer of any type, lymphoma of any type, melanoma, neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, reproductive cancer of any type, respiratory (breathing-related) cancer of any type, asthma that was diagnosed after service, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, constrictive bronchiolitis or obliterative bronchiolitis, emphysema, granulomatous disease, interstitial lung disease (ILD), pleuritis and pulmonary fibrosis, and sarcoidosis. “Presumptive” means that if you have those conditions, and if you served in the designated locations during the specific time periods, it’s understood that your service caused the illnesses. You don’t need to prove it. The act adds additional locations for Agent Orange exposure for Vietnam-era veterans, including American Samoa, Cambodia, Guam, Laos, Thailand and John-
ston Atoll, all during specific dates. Remember: Sometimes just being on a ship that called at those locations will qualify you. If you were a post-9/11 combat veteran, your eligibility to enroll in Veterans Affairs health care is extended from five years to 10 years. And, in a big move, the act requires the VA to do a toxic exposure screening on each and every veteran using VA health care. For more information about eligibility for care under the PACT Act, go to va.gov/resources/the-pactact-and-your-va-benefits. You’ll find eligible locations listed there. You can also call 800-698-2411 or file online at va.gov using VA Form 21-526EZ. Even if you think you don’t qualify for PACT benefits, enroll anyway in VA health care. Get a record going so it’s there in the future should you need it. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Walter Clark Legal Group pays for Labor Day Weekend Rides Walter Clark Legal Group’s Safe Ride Home Program is covering the fare for inebriated drivers who wisely choose to take cabs and rideshares home this Labor Day Weekend instead of getting back behind the wheel after drinking at local bars and parties. Friday, September 2, to Monday, September 5, from 10 p.m. each night to 3 a.m. the next day, drivers who unexpectedly find themselves with a blood alcohol content (BAC) level over the legal limit should leave
their car where it is and get a ride home. Walter Clark Legal Group will reimburse the rider for the Uber, Lyft, or taxi ride. To participate in the Safe Ride Home Program, a person must request a reimbursement coupon online before the holiday. Instructions on how to request a reimbursement coupon and collect reimbursement, along with other program participation requirements, can be found at WalterClark.com/holiday.
