Some months ago, a guest speaker from the nearby Marine base briefed LVEDA members as to the base mission, its fiscal impact on adjacent communities, and some proposed expansion options. Johnson Valley was one of them. We asked whether expansion could go east instead, and were told that was probably not a viable option because of a large heat-generating solar installation. Apparently, during training exercises, troops set off heat-seeking missiles — potentially a cause for a major OOOPS!

Before I took over as editor of the Leader from Kris Reilly, who is now ruling the roost of reporters as city editor at the Daily Press, I asked him what there was to cover in a sleepy town of just 6,000.
“There’s never any shortage of stories,” Kris assured me.
Boy, was he right. I quickly learned that Lucerne Valley is a surprisingly diverse community with warm, chatty people embracing life and having fun while giving back.

“We think the MAC needs to get back online,” Chris Carrillo, the deputy chief of staff for Third District Supervisor James Ramos, told attendees of last Tuesday’s Lucerne Valley Economic Development Association meeting.
Carrillo said the reconfigured advisory body could start “in about five weeks” or so.

What a joyful day! On Saturday, May 4 three more teachers from our small school district of Lucerne Valley Unified walked across the platform to receive their Master’s degrees.
Those of us at Lucerne Valley Elementary School are bursting with pride to see our fellow peers and friends reaching their goals and continuing to be lifelong learners. They are stupendous role models for our students and as they achieve their goals of more education and skills, the students of Lucerne Valley benefit too. They are inspired to reach for their maximum potential.

The parish welcomed Bishop Gerald R. Barnes, the bishop of the San Bernardino diocese, who officiated the 9 a.m mass. Joining Bishop Barnes were several priests from Our Lady of the Desert Church in Apple Valley, some of whom previously served the Lucerne Valley parish.
Following the Mass, attendees celebrated with special dances, songs and a pot luck meal.

Lucerne Valley-based Omya California made a donation of $1,500 to the Lucerne Valley Domestic Violence Outreach last week.
Omya plant manager Peter Sutherland and administrative assistant Jeannette Cox presented the check to center volunteers Phillip “Doc” Fouts and Elaine Dwire.
Three years ago, San Bernardino County cut funding to the center, which today relies exclusively on donations from individuals and businesses.
“I think it’s clear there’s a real need,” Sutherland said. “I’m glad we’re helping a little.”

Springtime arrived nearly two months ago and with it came wildflowers, new foliage — and snakes.
While many snakes that residents of Lucerne Valley may encounter are non-poisonous, the area is also home to several venomous varieties.
Larry Mayer, a member of the Lucerne Valley Community Emergency Response Team, urges residents to beware that potentially lethal snakes are out and about.
