Big Bear Lake Shore city is endorsed I'," -r 1 s- By BILL ROGERS Sun Staff Writer SAN BERNARDINO In one of its more abrupt turnarounds, the Local Agency Formation Com mission Wednesday overcame previous misgivings and endorsed cityhood for Big Bear Lake's south shore. The JH) vote reversed a 4-2 count by which the commission tentatively rejected the south shore incorporation proposal last month. It followed an informal hearing in Big Bear last week in which the LAFC made one last stab at encouraging cityhood for the entire Bear Valley but ended up convinced that the larger plan stood no chance of voter approval. To gain a place on the November ballot, the incorporation plan still must survive a hearing before the county Board of Supervisors. If the plan is finally approved, the south shore community, including Big Bear Lake Village and Moonridge, will become the county's 17th city, with a population of about 7,000 spread over an area of nearly seven square miles.

A similar south shore cityhood proposal was narrowly defeated at the polls in 1977. Appealing to the hopes of commissioners Wednesday, the incorporation movement's leader, Dr. Robert Davies, told the LAFC, "I believe if the south shore is given an opportunity to demonstrate the advantages of a city form of government, then somewhere down the line, it will evolve into a valley-wide But there were already signs of opposition to this as a spokesman for Big Bear City Community Ser vices District urged that, if a south shore city is formed, the LAFC should not give it a "sphere of influence," or annexation rights, over anv other section of Bear Valley. And Dr. Davies admitted that some residents of Big Bear City and other unincorporated areas at the valley's east end would prefer creating a second city for their section rather than joining the south shore.

Although voting for the south shore plan as he did last month. Supervisor Dennis Hansberger remarked, "I don't believe it's the best decision." Hansberger reflected earlier views of LAFC members that valley-wide incorporation would be preferable because it would provide a central leadership and an opportunity to dissolve a number of special districts and consolidate what is now a wide array of fragmented services. Most commissioners appeared to concur with LAFC Executive Officer Larry Hendon's conclusion that, in the final analysis, the right of a community to govern itself is extremely difficult to deny after the commission has tried but failed to gain public acceptance of a "better way" valley-wide incorporation in this case. Hendon's recommendation to endorse south shore cityhood reversed his previous position. "Valley-wide incorporation would be ideal, and fortunately there are still some idealists around," Chino Councilwoman Eileen Carter said.

Drew of Temple City told highway patrolmen he thought it was an old crash site. Drew and a friend, Scott Edward Bishop of Hesperia, hiked to the scene and were "shocked" to find the two dead people. Bishop and Drew then had to hike out of the area to here their car was and drive to the California Highway Patrol scales several miles away to report the crash.

CHP officers and San Bernardino sheriff's deputies drove treacherous fire roads to reach an area about 500 feet above the crash site and directed the sheriff's helicopter into the area. Members of the San Bernardino Mountain Search and Rescue Team removed the bodies and carried them to a waiting coroner. Identification of the man and woman was withheld pending notification of relatives. Log books and a registration check on the plane indicated the people had been from Oregon. The Mooney 201 single-engine craft apparently headed nose down into, the steep mountainside.

The engine was found on a ridge several yards east of the plane. A black suitcase, part of a bathing suit, a shaving kit and an umbrella were strewn around the wreckage. Officials had no idea where the couple were headed or what caused the crash. Heavy winds rocked the sheriff's helicopter and pilot Jim Singley had to work hard to manuever the craft. Deputies speculated that the winds might have caused the plane to crash.

Federal Aviation Administration officials had not arrived at the crash site by dusk, and more information was not available. Stuff Yourself Trim! Join us for lunch doily 1 1 a.m. -4 p.m. Mon. thru Sat.

Census: Are you counted? SAN BERNARDINO Have you been counted? If you haven't receive a census form in the mail and haven't been contacted by this time, census officials are urging you to contact the district office immediately. The 1980 Census is moving into its final phase and the count is virtually complete, said San Bernardino District Manager Bob Minick. But the bureau wants to make sure that no resident has been overlooked. Also, census workers would like to talk to persons who filled out the mail form but may have omitted one or more members of the household because they were not certain if they should be listed. Those who have any doubts should contact a census worker.

Persons in the San Bernardino Valley, the mountains and the Twentynine Palms area should contact the San Bernardino District Office at 494 N. San Bernardino 92401. The telephone numbers are 383-5607 and 383-5608. Other portions of the county, including Barstow and Victorville, are in the Bakersfield District. That office is located at 4725 District Bakersfield 93309.

The phone numbers are (805) 397-0838 and 397-0839. All census information is confidential and cannot be obtained by any governmental agencies. The San Bernardino District office is still accepting applications from persons who would like temporary work as census takers. The enumerators work a 40-hour week, including some evenings and Saturdays, are paid a piece rate based on the number of forms completed, and can average $4 per hour, Minick said. Most of the jobs will last from three to five weeks.

Enumerators are particularly needed in the Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Upland, Chino and Apple Valley areas, as well as in mountain communities. Applicants are given an aptitude test involving simple arithmetic and language skills. Persons should apply at the district headquarters or call 383-5607. By HARVEY FEIT Sun Political Editor Interest in the primary elections in the 34th, 6f.th and 67th Assembly districts died aborning when all the candidates emerged unchallenged for party nominations, but the scrapping in the 65th District is doing a lot to fill the void. Eight candidates entered the race in that district, astride the Los Angeles County line, when Democratic incumbent Bill McVittie of Upland nailed down a judicial appointment.

Locked in a big-spending contest for the Democratic nomination are District Attorney James M. Cramer of Upland and Kenneth Willis of Claremont, executive director of the Baldy View Chapter of the Building Industry Association. Harold Katzman of Ontario, a substitute teacher, also is on the Democratic ballot but has not campaigned strongly. Battling for the Republican nomination are Pomona Mayor Charles W. Bader; Michael McGehee of Ontario, a businessman-political consultant; John W.
