APPLE VALLEY • Seductive and arousing. Two words that typically describe belly dancing in Western culture.

This summer the Apple Valley Parks and Recreation Department will offer the exotic dance class with wellness and self-confidence in mind.

APPLE VALLEY REVIEW

APPLE VALLEY • Neighbors of the Rio Vista Elementary School campus have dealt with balls being kicked into their yards, traffic, noise and an assortment of school annoyances.

Last week students from the school showed their concern by delivering flowers to the residents as a show of appreciation.

Teacher Cindy Hinkle said the project served two purposes: to promote “giving” versus “taking” and to thank neighbors for enduring the school’s constant activity.

Around Town: Doing what's right on the right

By Pat Orr
APPLE VALLEY REVIEW

Our Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Apple Valley, must be doing something correct. He is being attacked by the unions for not caving in on Governor Moonbeam’s new tax-and-spend budget plan.

Last week, an attractive, expensive, oversized four-color mailer hit Apple Valley mailboxes claiming Donnelly wanted to lay off police, kill babies and drown puppies. Why? Because he won’t be one of the desperately-needed Republican votes to put new taxes on the ballot or just vote to raise taxes.

Modern shepherding

By Beatriz E. Valenzuela
STAFF WRITER

APPLE VALLEY • It’s hard, grueling and at times, lonely work, and it hasn’t changed much over the last several decades.

“It is difficult,” said Hector Rodriguez of Las Vegas as he built two pens to corral a sheep and her newly born lambs in a field in the shadow of Bell Mountain in Apple Valley. “But it’s a job.”

This is Rodriguez’s first time shepherding in California, but he said many members of his family had worked for the sheep owner for many years.
