The Sun, San Bernardino, California Saturday, February 16, 1980 Section Lake operator Byers in supervisors race is A Staff photo by Chuck Mueller Drive down narrow road in Rainbow Basin provides glimpse of rock stratification. Rainbow Basin a link with past tection should be the number one priority of all citizens." Byers, ho has six children and 10 grandchildren, said he believes "the water, of the desert should remain with the desert." Zoning is another matter of concern, he said. He advocates public participation in zoning decisions, based on need, "not just to profit some individual." "The desert area of San Bernardino has millions of acres of BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land," Byers said. "This land belongs to all of the people and the people who live in the desert should have more control as to the protection (of the land) and its use," he said. Byers said he would also seek financing to improve desert roads, especially those damaged by annual rains, and work toward low-price housing for senior citizens.

Byers and his wife, Dolores, are the parents of three sons and three vivid testimony to the Miocene Epoch when the spectacular terraces were uplifted. High above the roadway, sculptured walls glow with color as the sun sets on the towering spires. Located 12 miles north of Barstow, the basin and canyon are easily accessible from Fort Irwin Road. The Bureau of Land Management maintains a campground at the site, and BLM's Barstow Way Station provides a map for sightseers. The area, sprinkled with Joshua trees that thrive at this elevation, is popular among campers and hikers.

Owl Canyon, about five HARVARD John R. Byers, 59, a candidate in 1968 for First District county supervisor, has announced he will seek the same seat now being vacated by James L. May-field of Apple Valley. Byers, who operates the Lake Dolores recreational park 20 miles east of Barstow, operated a 400-acre alfalfa ranch on the property until 1966. He has lived in the area since 1953, and was a businessman in Long Beach before moving to the high desert.

As a candidate, Byers said he will address issues of water, school financing, environmental pollution, law enforcement, and zoning. He said he is opposed to toxic waste being transported to the high desert from the Los Angeles basin. "Police protection needs to be expanded in all areas of the desert and mountains," Byers said. "We need more men and equipment. "Schools and police pro bulletin Student employment TWENTYNINE PALMS As a service to the community and to its students, the High Desert campus of College of the Desert offers an employment service at the beginning of each semester.

And with a number of students already indicating an interest in full-time or part-time work, potential employers are being sought by the college. Job applicants range from 18 to 30 and offer a variety of past work experience and interests. These include bookkeeping and office work, waitressing, tax consulting, pressing, cashiering, design high school with coyotes, desert foxes, chipmunks and jack rabbits. The BLM advises visitors to the area that paleological fossils are protected through the National Antiquities Act. Permits to collect fossils are restricted to scientific organizations.

"The terraces here were uplifted in the Tertiary Period, about 30 million years ago," Vencill said. Stratified layers of rock make up giant synclines or troughs that fold in massive waves along the face of the canyon. Most of the mixture of colors yellow, red and light green are derived from the iron content in the terrain, Vencill pointed out. Rainbow Basin, which lies midway along the oneway loop road, also was a lake bed, he said. Like Owl Canyon's washes, the basin surface is strewn with glacial or stream recks that have been carried down from higher levels by flowing waters.

Each turn along the narrow loop road offers a different panorama of pinnacles and rocky shelves, ravines and spires, and timeless formations. This remote wedge from the geologic past beckons. 980 high school. year for the next two A site probably will be years, centrally located to serve Corbin said the district's the district's three main total enrollment is 767, up communities Daggett, 21 from last month.
