Jesus Rendon, known by many as “Jesse,” is involved in the Future Farmers of America and the school district’s Majority Rules group.
And when he’s not participating in an organization event, Rendon might be discussing pre-calculus with a fellow mathematics student.
“When I was little it always easy,” he said about math. “But now it’s hard.”
As a result of his hard work, Rendon is one of the top students in the junior class. He’s expecting his math abilities to carry him into an engineering program after he graduates in 2014.

Check out the front pages of the Gideon Bible as follows:
“This book not to be sold. (You can always get the most important book ever written for free!)
“Manufactured in the United States of America.” (The U.S. is the number one distributor of Bibles. Even the Chinese Communist government controlled businesses print Bibles and export them to other countries, while the government restricts Bible distribution in China! They also arrest pastors, destroy church buildings, and cart bus loads of church goers to jail on weekends.)
Back to the front of that Gideon Bible…

LUCERNE VALLEY • For some, life goals begin early
— and big.
The dream to become the youngest ever to climb Mt. Everest was pitoned into
16-year-old Jordan Romero’s mind when he was just a 4th-grader at Lucerne Valley Elementary School.
That day, Romero was looking closely at a painting of the world’s highest peaks when he experienced an epiphany.
“I thought this was really cool,” he said.

FOR THE LEADER
Proponents say an ambitious government plan will streamline renewable energy development while protecting wildlife and natural resources. But some locals say it’s a land grab that threatens to carpet the California desert with wind turbines and solar panels.

Honorary Mayor candidates Lyle Thomas and Rock Griffith may look at some things differently but not when it comes to Lucerne Valley.
In fact, regarding change, newcomers Thomas and Griffith told a group of supporters during last Friday’s meet-and-greet spaghetti dinner event at the Lucerne Valley Senior Center they want sleepy, friendly Lucerne Valley to stay that way.
“I’ll do absolutely nothing,” said Thomas, a process engineer at at Mitsubishi Cement. “I won’t even try to stop the wind from blowing.”
Griffith agreed — mostly.

Hello to Lucerne Valley.
Just sent in the first Worm Alert of the year and hope you are all going to participate in this fun event this year. I think we should spend a few minutes discussing the weather. Mainly because I can’t think of anything else to discuss.
I’m having a difficult time deciding if it’s still winter, spring or summer. Took the blanket off the bed when I changed the sheets and almost froze to death two nights later.

I responded to Betty Munson’s plea that we unite to save Lucerne Valley, Juniper Flats, Johnson Valley, Homestead Valley, and Morongo Valley from industrial wind and solar farms and power transmission towers. PLEASE take several minutes to write a brief letter including these points, or print out the letter at www.cadesertco.org found in Betty’s note, sign it, and send it in.
