To enhance the cleanup city-wide, the 29 Palms Rotary Club is sponsoring youth groups, sports teams, and non-profits to go out to areas that need attention and pick up the unwanted trash and other items that are an eyesore and a nuisance in those areas. Rotary President David Smith was enthusiastic about the event, saying, “This is a huge win-win for our city: nonprofits can earn monetary support, neighborhoods that need attention will be improved, and we can all be proud of our cleaner city.”

Southern Adventist University’s Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that Ken Shaw will become the university’s 27th president. He will assume office on June 1.
Shaw graduated from Southern in 1980 with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and will be the university’s first alumnus to return as president. His entire family graduated from Southern: his wife, Ann (Kennedy), earned her nursing degree in 1979; their daughter, Kate Myers, earned her associate and bachelor’s degrees in nursing in 2008 and 2009; and their son, Martin, earned his pastoral care degree in 2012.
“Ann and I cherish our memories from Southern,” Shaw said. “Returning to campus is like coming home for us, and we’re delighted to be part of this institution. I really admire that Southern is still fundamentally centered on its mission and on the core values that the institution has been about for 129 years.”

WINCHESTERÂ â Following a few design tweaks, a proposed apartment building intended to house Shenandoah University students and young professionals is back on the table for City Council s consideration.
As proposed, The Local at 1551 S. Pleasant Valley Road would include 198 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments within a single four-story building, plus two small buildings that would be leased for commercial use. The complex would be built on a 6.23-acre parcel of vacant land adjacent to the former Fresh Market grocery store at 1671 S. Pleasant Valley Road.
Since the proposed apartments are within walking distance of SU, property owner Jay Donegan of Reston anticipates that up to 80% of the more than 400 residents of the 258,000-square-foot complex would be college students. The remaining apartments would be marketed to young professionals.
