APPLE VALLEY REVIEW
APPLE VALLEY • St. Mary Medical Center has expanded into south Apple Valley with a larger pool of healthcare services including obstetrics/gynecology, general surgery and orthopedics.
The clinic draws specialty physicians to the High Desert and gives area residents access to a larger pool of healthcare services. According to St. Mary Medical Center spokesman Randy Bevilacqua, the facility is not a traditional clinic, but actually a medical facility that accepts patients by referral.

'Screamer Girl' Desiree Bernard is the Mavs' superfan
By Rene De La Cruz
APPLE VALLEY REVIEW
Most baseball aficionados define the “10th Man” as a loyal baseball fan, or group of fans, who help their team to victory.
Based on that definition, the High Desert Mavericks have their “10th Man” — 14 year old Desiree Bernard.
Since 2003, Bernard has chosen one specific Mavericks player to cheer for. Each time her player has stepped up to the plate, she has stood to attention, and has shouted three simple words such as, “Hit it Kyle!” or “Hit it Johan!”

Another group practiced communications the operations center would need during a similar disaster while a third group went out in the field to simulate rescuing horses and transporting them to Horseman’s Center.
