The family of Marianne Belinda Morton wants her memory to live on through the Newton T. Bass Apple Valley Library.

Morton died unexpectedly on March 4, according to Marcella Taylor, a member of the “Friends of the Apple Valley Library” group.

The library, according to Taylor, had received $755 in cash in Morton’s name as of March 30.

Morton’s family also donated several children’s books in her name, each one bearing a large sticker on the inside cover that reads, “This Book Has Been Donated In Memory Of Belinda Morton.”

David Pike teaches Earth Science at the Mojave River Campus of the Academy for Academic Excellence/Lewis Center in Apple Valley.

He was born in the mid-1960s at a hospital down the street from Disneyland in Anaheim. Back in those days, Orange County was mostly a collection of strawberry fields and oil wells and suburban lawns and new freeways and parking lots. He went with his family to Huntington Beach, Seal Beach and got tar balls on our feet. They shopped at Sav-On, and Stater Bros. and Zodys and saved their Blue Chip Stamps.

An alarming announcement to fatties who travel was made by Samoan Airlines last week. They’ve decided to charge passengers by the pound — or in their case, the kilo.

Yes, you and your luggage will be weighed at the airport terminal and fees assessed at the time of departure. “It is the only fair way” to charge fees for excess weight that costs the airlines more fuel to fly, according to the airline’s president — who weighs 160 pounds dripping wet, I’ll wager.

Friends and family mourned the lives of 27 Granite Hills High School students who were ceremoniously dead for a day.

The students were pulled out of their classrooms one by one every 15 minutes on Thursday, and had no contact with anyone other than each other for nearly 24 hours.

Cadillac Ranch waitress and Apple Valley resident Tanya Miley grew up in Hesperia. She attended to Juniper Elementary School. When she was in the fourth grade, her mom moved her and younger sisters to Corona, where they lived until Miley graduated from Centennial High School.

“Duing my high school years, I was on the varsity swim team and played tennis,” Miley said. “After I graduated — like, literally, the next day — I packed up my car and moved to San Diego.”
