The board will discuss the agency's history and water allocation policy at 4:30 p.m. in the city council chambers, said Jon Edison, executive director. Barstow officials expressed concern recently when the agency approved a contract to provide a maximum of 6,400 acre-feet of water for the Rancho Las Flores development near Hesperia. They said the move might jeopardize Barstow's future water supply via the California Aqueduct.

Senior engineer Dan Hebert said the water agency's policy calls for dividing its state allocation of 50,800 acre-feet of water among seven regional divisions. the house on Elm Street in Morongo Valley. Deputies discovered 10 pounds of finished methamphetamine, five gallons of nearly finished methamphetamine, various chemicals and $10,000 in cash believed to be from drug sales, officials said. Fatal crash: A Bloomington man was killed and his two sons were injured when their car sideswiped a utility trailer and overturned Sunday on state Highway 58. Killed was Roy Eason, 37, who was thrown from the eastbound car at 5:45 p.m.

about five miles east of Kramer Junction, Deputy County Coroner Linda Myers said Monday. His sons, Robert, 15, and Michael, 12, were treated at Barstow Community Hospital for minor injuries and released. Officer Terri Rouse of the California Highway Patrol said Eason's car drifted into the westbound lane and sideswiped a trailer being pulled by another vehicle. The crash disabled a tire, which went flat and caused the car to swerve and overturn. still faces charges of transportation of marij uana, Jarvis said.

Pope-Ludlam said her son makes the mixture from sugar and eats it at work for an engery boost. "It's something like cotton candy it gives him an energy jolt," she said. Narcotics raid: Three people were arrested and more than $1 million of what is suspected to be methampheta-mine was confiscated when authorities raided a home in Morongo Valley, San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies said Monday. John Keeling, Cecilia Keeling and Elmer Locker all of Morongo Valley, were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine for sale and illegal possession of equipment to make methamphetamine, deputies said. Members of the Los Angeles Police Department's clandestine laboratory division and the San Bernardino County sheriffs vice, narcotics and fencing division conducted the raid on Charges dropped: Charges of possession of cocaine for sale filed against a San Bernardino man were dropped after an analysis of the suspected substance showed it was sugar, police said Monday.

George Willis Beauregard, 32, was arrested Oct. 17 after a motorcycle officer stopped a 1980 Dodge truck with expired registration tags near Sixth and streets, police said. Beauregard is the son of Councilwoman Valerie Pope-Ludlam. Police said the driver of the truck appeared to be under the influence of a drug and was arrested after a small amount of marijuana was discovered and an officer smelled the odor of burning marijuana inside the vehicle. During a search, officers found more than 100 grams of marijuana and 55 grams of a substance that appeared to be rock cocaine but was sugar shaped into the form of the drug, Sgt.

Steve Jarvis said. Beauregard Writer to speak: Award-winning science fiction writer Gregory Ben-ford, an adviser to National Aeronautics Space and Administration, will speak to three classes Thursday at the University of Redlands.

Contested Colton annexation S.B. council votes to require blinders on porno newsracks Land: County puts off decision Historic S.B. house may be moved to Eighth, streets By PATRICK McGREEVY Sun Staff Writer I Area I I enlarged I .1 1 oiansa A.

1 L5SL. RIVERSIDE CO. have hired Riverside developer Carl Viers to move it. Monday, Councilman Michael Maudsely won council approval to buy the parking lot next to the Heritage House on Street and lease part of it to Viers at a monthly rate that will return the purchase price in 7 lA years. Even if Viers does not agree to a lease, Maudsley said the parking lot might be used for development.

The agency's staff will attempt to negotiate the purchase of the parking lot from the city's economic development council and the lease with Viers, he said. SAN BERNARDINO The historic Miles House may have a new home after the city council agreed Monday to buy a half-acre lot for it. The council has proposed that the redevelopment agency spend $82,000 to buy a parking lot near Eighth and streets and lease a portion of the site to a man hired to relocate the Miles House. The 1880s-vintage Victorian is currently adjacent to the San Bernardino Community College District's headquarters in the 600 block of North Street. College district officials want to build a parking lot on the site of the house and final adoption on Nov.

21. Mayor Evlyn Wilcox won assurances from the city attorney's office that the ordinance is legal. Two months ago, the council had to rescind approval of another ordinance that would have required adult guards to be posted next to all pornographic newracks. The unique law drew national attention before City Attorney James Penman discovered it violated state law. "We can do this?" Wilcox asked of the senior assistant city attorney on Monday.

Dennis Barlow said the state Legislature approved the restriction last year. The blinder ordinance is "as strong as we can go." Tuckett hopes the Legislature will vote next year to allow cities to require adult guards at news-racks. That would make it financially impractical to operate porno newsracks in San Bernardino, according to Bill Berk, editor for the Los Angeles-based Hollywood Press. No one from the pornographic tabloid business attended Monday's council meeting. "It's certainly a lot better than guards, but we've got to see what these things (blinders) are going to look like," Berk said.

Continued fromB1 ton annexation plan includes that land and nearly 500 additional acres north of the river. Colton City Manager Frank Benest said San Bernardino County would be ill-advised to surrender the 600 acres to Riverside County because of its potential industrial development value. The area's interests have been associated closely with Colton for more than a century, he said. Riverside County Supervisor Norton Younglove countered that sections of the area south of the river have been oriented more toward Riverside since the original Agua Mansa settlement was bisected and virtually destroyed by a major flood in 1862. The change would be the first along the boundary between the two counties since Riverside County split off from San Bernardino County in 1893.

Younglove said the city of Riverside, which holds about 250 acres in the area as a domestic water source, could provide sewer service without having to cross the river. G.W. Singletary, a major land owner in the area, said protest petitions submitted to Colton last week will be sufficient to block that city's annexation try. Agua EXS City-of Mansa Riverside owned SAN BERNARDINO Porno newsracks would have to be fitted with blinders covering all but the tabloid's title under an ordinance given initial approval Monday by the city council. Sherri Tuckett, the leader of a citizens group against pornography, said the new law is a decent first step in regulating sidewalk sex magazines.

"I'm happy. But this is just a start," Tuckett said. She also worried the proposed ordinance will be difficult to enforce because the city has failed to identify who is responsible for the newstands. "The city hasn't been able to track them down for a year. If they can't find them, they can't cite them," Tuckett said.

City Clerk Shauna Clark agreed the city might have a problem tracing owners of coin-operated newsracks or distributors of the pornographic newspapers. The council voted unanimously on Monday to give a first reading to the ordinance and set it for Rd. 7 Riverside Ave, RIALTO S.B. council approves new lights for Spirit; financing questioned 11 wA if i i ri mi Santa Ana RIVERSIDE CO. tiiver BETTS GRIFFONEThe Sun Animals: Shelter hours expanded Redlands: Library work OK'd think we have far greater need for moderate and low-income housing from (block grant) funds than for ballfield lights," said Pope-Ludlam.

Estrada said the city has $680,000 in federal grant money in a contingency account being siphoned off for questionable projects like the lights at Fiscali-ni Field. Councilman Jack Reilly and Michael Maudsley led the argument for the lighting project, saying the existing lights are dangerously old and could electrocute someone. Also they do not meet the brightness standards set by the California League. The city faces a liability if it does not replace the lights after it discovers they are unsafe, Maudsley said. The new lights probably will be installed before the Spirit starts its season in April, officials said.

By PATRICK McGREEVY Sun Staff Writer SAN BERNARDINO The city council approved more new lights for the Spirit baseball team Monday, but some officials said it wasn't right to pay for the project with federal funds intended to help the poor. The council voted 4-3 to install the outfield lights with $11,238 in federal block grant funds and $25,000 left over from a project building wheelchair ramps on sidewalks. Infield lights were authorized last month using $117,000 in federal block grant money. Council members Valerie Pope-Ludlam, Jess Flores and Esther Estrada voted against the second allocation Monday, saying the federal funds are intended to be spent on housing and other programs to help the poor.

Before the city could declare the bid unresponsive, it was required to hold a public hearing on the matter. A Graco official was the hearing's only speaker and he said the company would not dispute the city's findings because the firm was only 2 years old. Donald, McKee and Hart was founded by Gordon Donald the great-grandson of Davis M. Donald, builder of Smiley Library. The project will double the size of the library, adding about 38,000 square feet to the mission-style building.

City Engineer Ron Mutter said construction is expected to begin by the end of the month and will take about one year to Continued fromB1 hours that animals are available to be purchased from the shelter serving San Bernardino, Loma Linda and Colton. Researchers may buy unclaimed strays on Monday, Wednesday and Friday as long as the animals show no evidence of having once been pets. The policy also changes the time strays are made available from 72 hours to three working days so that research groups have a better chance of buying animals. Quinto said research groups asked the council for permission to buy strays five days a week. "We intend to take a close look at this new policy," he said.

Animal rights activists had planned a demonstration in front of City Hall, but a carload of pickets broke down, said Nancy Bur nett, president of the Society Against Vivisection. "We don't want the number of hours to be tripled. We don't want any availability at all," she said. Mayor Evlyn Wilcox and Councilmcn Michael Maudsley and Tom Minor also opposed changing the policy. They said public trust in the shelter has been restored because no animal has been sold to research in 1 'A years.

"I certainly don't feel our city should be in the position of having our shelter selling animals," Wilcox said, drawing loud cheers and applause from the audience. The mayor tried to open the meeting to public testimony, but council members said they had heard enough emotional input. Animal-rights activists say they have collected 2,000 of the 7,089 signatures they need to qualify another initiative that would ban sales for research.
