Vehicle causes much damage YUCAIPA Several a sprinkler system, a speed sign and a wall were damaged here early Friday morning by a car whose driver apparently lost control, the California Highway Patrol said. California Highway Patrol Officer Hector Pena said Martin JA1-lshouse, 24, was traveling east on Avenue when he ran off the road just west of 11th Street shortly after 2 a.m. Allshouse apparently ran over a sprinkler system on a front lawn, then hit a sign, struck a mailbox, drove back onto Avenue and struck two more mailboxes before he came to rest in the middle of a brick wall.

Allshouse was not injured in the incident, officers said. Cause of the accident was under investigation. New CDF station By KIM BROWNLOW Sun Staff Writer REDLANDS Omnitrans and city-operated transportation systems don't mix, two city officials said here Friday. "Transportation has got to be a regional concept," said John Donnelly, member of the Omnitrans technical advisory committee. Donnelly, acting director of public works here, disagreed with San Bernardino City Councilman Edward Wheeler's suggestion to replace the valley-wide Omnitrans with a city bus system operated by San Bernardino, possibly with cooperation of Colton, Rialto and Redlands.

The mayors of Colton and Rialto Thursday backed the San Bernardino council's decision. Redlands councilman Warren Elliott, city representative on the Omnitrans board of directors, said he didn't see how the two transportation systems could co-exist with the success of the present 10-city system. Wheeler's comment came Wednesday after the San Bernardino City Council voted 6-1 to split off from the Omnitrans system. The city is committed to remain in the system until July of 1980, officials said. According to Donnelly, Omnitrans was organized three years ago to connect the cities west of the foothills, not to have "each city going it alone." Donnelly said although San Bernardino may have the staff to operate its own system, Redlands doesn't.

Possible obstacle he said are: Staff photo by Floyd Rinhort Ron Clarke gets polio drops from Nurse Grace Calia. Redlands students get inoculations if dents are excluded from classes, Campbell said.
