The Assistance League of Victor Valley is located on Highway 18 in Apple Valley but, true to its name, it services the entire Victor Valley with a host of far-reaching philanthropic programs.
The all-volunteer members staff its main revenue source, the Common Cents Thrift Shop, committing to at least two shifts a month. Cheryl Eaton, chairperson of philanthropic programs, speaks proudly of the services that help families throughout the region.

Apple Valley musician and teacher Jon Barnes was born in Baltimore, Md. to a musical family who sung and played music at home and in church. Before the age of 5, he was singing and playing music in church with his family.
“The music teachers in school noticed my talent and gave me private lessons for free,” Barnes said. “Soon, they would take me on gigs, shows, recording sessions, scoring music, writing compositions, playing for high school reunions, TV gigs, church gigs — you name it.”

This hit home last night when I saw a negative TV ad aimed at Congressman Gary Miller, who represents congressional district 31. Miller beat another Republican, Bob Dutton, to take a newly redistricted seat just down the hill.
