    The Friends of Big Bear Valley organization says their eaglet has been officially named! The chick hatched on March 3 this year, in a nest in the San Bernardino National Forest. It was the first healthy chick in two years for Big Bear’s famed bald eagle pair Jackie and Shadow. The second egg in the same nest never hatched. Nearly 10,000 names were submitted, but Spirit won out for the baby bald eagle, whose gender is not yet known. The winning name was sent by Patti G, according to the organization.

    A contest fundraiser to name the little eaglet is open until March 25. After the deadline, 35 names will be randomly drawn. The names will then be given to local Big Bear third grade classrooms for a final vote. After that, all submissions will be entered into a random drawing for prizes, including Jackie and Shadow plush toys, a framed painting of the bald eagle couple, an eagle tapestry, and other gifts. Since the chick’s gender is not known, a name that isn’t gender specific would work best, organizers said. Friends of Big Bear Valley has been posting updates on...

    An Airbnb host who canceled a reservation and told the guest, "One word says it all. Asian," has agreed to pay a $5,000 fine and attend a college course in Asian-American studies, officials with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing said Thursday. The guest, Dyne Suh, had booked the home as part of a ski trip with her fiancé and friends in Big Bear in February. When she was close to the house, Suh messaged host Tami Barker through the Airbnb app, but the host cancelled the reservation after a dispute over additional guests.

    Citing strained food and fuel supplies because of rough weather and tough road conditions, San Bernardino County officials Sunday evening closed visitors' access to the Big Bear Valley. "It's been very difficult, if not impossible, for fuel trucks to get up the mountain and for trucks carrying food to get up to grocery stores," said David Wert, spokesman for San Bernardino County. "The gas stations are running out of gas, and the grocery stores are running out of food." The closure comes at the peak of ski season and is a blow to local businesses and resorts that rely on...

    A mountain lion killed a goat at a children's camp this weekend near Big Bear Lake, prompting warnings that camp operators should protect their young visitors by securing garbage and small animals. "The problem with this cat is its bold behavior," Brennan said. "It entered a camp and took a goat among 200 sleeping kids." The big cat dragged the goat away from an animal pen to an outdoor amphitheater, where it ate its fill and abandoned the carcass before dawn Sunday at Camp Oakes. The YMCA-owned camp is off Highway 38 about six miles southeast of Big Bear City....

    Big Bear mountains go from fire to ice Area burned in blazes last year relieved by snowfall. By Tim Molloy Associated Press BIG BEAR LAKE — A sign welcoming visitors to the San Bernardino National Forest features a panicked Smokey the Bear with a wall of flames raging behind him. "All because of a little match!" the sign warns visitors, invoking the near-constant fire threat in the drought-choked mountains east of Los Angeles. But this week, the sign was covered with snow. After months of worries that this could be the worst fire season ever, the danger has been buried...
