SUN-TELEGRAM (Barstow-Yucca Valley-29 Palms) July 15, 1977 Board applicant (Continued from C-1) called she will run, but she said she will not head any campaign to circulate petitions. Monds, who also has seven children, has been a general insurance Charles Monds new trustee agent for 4 and one-half years. He is a retired highway patrol officer with 15 years service. Monds said he decided last week to apply for the seat because he is interested in the school system and its problems. He said he has concerns about enrollments and shrinking school boundaries.

Monds said he approves of the reorganization and consolidation of schools but "I don't like it." Monds said he is acquainted with most of the board members though he never discussed the appointment with any of them. Kolbly said during the board meeting Wednesday he had talked to the candidates and was reluctant to interview them publicly because they might be "embarrassed" by personal questions. However, Monds and Hawkins said they would have been welcomed the public interview. "Frankly, I expected to be questioned," Monds said. Kolbly told reporters Monds was chosen because "Mrs.

Harmon Pretend pilots Children enjoy playing Group discusses new desert county PINON HILLS Only 14 persons came to the chamber of commerce meeting here this week to discuss forming a new desert county, but they took away half a dozen petitions to fill. Stuart Randall of Hesperia, a member of the Sun County Steering Committee, explained that the petition is to Gov. Edmund G.

Brown to appoint a five-man commission to study the feasibility of making a separate county out of what is now roughly the First Supervisorial District of San Bernardino County. The petitions, which have been circulating since April 13, will be gathered Sept. 12, Randall said. Signatures will be tallied for the first time July 31. The proposed desert county, which would include Wrightwood but not Big Bear and extend to Yucca Valley, Needles and Trona, would contain about 18,000 square miles of land and about 160,000 residents.

The area's assessed value, Randall said, is about 17 per cent of the assessed value of Bernardino County. The map Randall brought to show residents here proposes that the new county, after formation, be divided into four districts, each with approximately the same area. Political apathy among younger desert residents, many of whom are not registered to vote, Randall said he found discouraging. He has spoken to groups in Wrightwood and Hesperia and said he plans to take the petitions to Trona. Petition circulation has been slow so far, Randall said, because he has been ill.
