Couple in Death Valley discover the high cost of installing phone One cap takes about 'JO minutes to And his hohhy-tiirncd business "For me it's just a hobby." Loma Linda a quiet family town, in spite of media attention gy, manage, did some legwork and learned that just to submit an order would cost $243. In the meantime, a couple of incidents occurred that Kufrin thought illustrated the need for a phone at the resort. Kufrin fell 25 feet off a ladder and fractured a wrist and dislocated an elbow while doing repairs. There was no way to call an ambulance or doctor, so a volunteer drove Kufrin 47 miles into Trona for treatment. The doctor promised to drive up and check on Kufrin's wrist.

The resort was burglarized and Kufrin had to drive 54 miles into Lone Pine to report the crime. Investigators came to the resort and obtained evidence, advising Kufrin later whom they thought might be responsible for the burglary. Three days later, the men suspected of the theft stopped at the restaurant to eat. Kufrin slipped out a side door, flagged down a passing motorist and told him to call the sheriff when he got to Lone Pine. The suspects left before deputies arrived, but Kufrin said their car was stopped by officers down the road.

It was about this time that Norman Boggs, a representative of Pacific Bell, advised Zamira that it would cost to install a phone at Panamint Springs. The Kufrins decided to gather signatures on a petition asking the phone company for service. "We get four or five people in here every day asking for a phone. We already have 300 signatures on our petition," Kufrin said. One of the signatures belongs to Lloyd Rosenberg, a traveling field mechanic who was born and raised in the Inyo County-Death Valley area.

"The state used to have a maintenance yard at Panamint Springs. There was a repeater at the top of Rogers Peak and trouble could be radioed out of the area," he said. "Communication is definitely hurting in the area." Boggs, the Pacific Bell representative, said, "The Public Utilities Commission may not even let us out there." Michael Runzler, a spokesman for Pacific Bell's regional office in Riverside, said the inquiry by the Kufrins should be referred to the PUC. A PUC spokeswoman said "there is a lot of unfiled (meaning the phone companies are not required to provide service) territory in the state" and Panamint Springs is right in the middle of a lot of it. Peggy Kufrin's response: "For $250,000 we could buy our own phone company." By LINDA LOU CROSBV Special lo The Sun PANAMINT SPRINGS -There is a resort here with 14 cabins, hookups for recreation vehicles and campers, gas pumps with the only dlesel fuel in the Death Valley area and a restaurant that is open 14 hours a day.

All the traveler's needs are met, unless he or she wants to call somebody on the phone. There is no phone. The Panamint Springs Resort, like a lot of areas in this very spar-cely populated section of California, is considered "unfiled territory" and phone companies are not required to serve it. Mike Kufrin, resort manager, used to work for a phone company in Illinois, installing phones. He assumed that acquiring phone service to this resort, located 47 miles north of Trona, 22 miles west of Emigrant Junction in the Death Valley National Monument and 54 miles southeast of Lone Pine on Highway 395, would be easy.

Wrong! Kufrin drove to Lone Pine to find how much it would cost to install a phone and was told the bill would be $800 a month. What the phone company didn't tell him was the cost to provide a line into Panamint Springs. He later learned it would be $250,000. Frank Zamira, owner of the resort that Kufrin and his wife, Peg meetings to reach a compromise and move on to other matters. If that fails, action is postponed with participants resorting to phone calls and luncheon discussions.

Like its neighbor Redlands, Loma Linda is a member of the San Bernardino County Service Area 110 District Advisory Commission for the East Valley Corridor Development Study. The commission Is concerned with appropriate commercial and light industrial growth flanking Interstate 10, which spans the area from San Bernardino through Loma Linda into Redlands. In Loma Linda, the Community Redevelopment Agency chaired by Harrison has attracted a commercial complex along Red-lands Boulevard, which will include a new Spreen Honda automobile agency relocating from San Bernardino. And Cha Cha's Mexican Restaurant will open a second unit there. Also, a schools issue must be resolved in 1986.

Because development of about 300 homes here in 1984 generated more student enrollment in the Redlands Unified School District, school officials have asked the City Council to enact an ordinance imposing developer fees to help defray the cost of new classrooms. But the council postponed consideration until at least February 1986 so it can see what changes, if any, the Redlands council makes in reviewing its own ordinance. hundreds of families from Orange and Los Angeles counties have moved here to take advantage of new housing developments at substantially lower cos's For example, a three-bedroom home here could cost as low as compared to a comparable Orange County residence costing "The new residents blend right in with us. They may not all be Adventists but they're all looking for the same thing we are. They like the family atmosphere and general philosophy of Loma Linda.

We have the same community goals," Koobs said. During 1986, the council and its "corporate" neighbors at Loma Linda University Medical Center and Loma Linda University, the city's major employers and economic base, will continue discussions toward resolving differences concerning traffic problems and construction plans. The medical center and university, both church entities, attract about 25,000 motorists per day to the tiny city, creating traffic circulation and parking problems that provoke frequent complaints from residents complaints the council is expected to resolve. And the center and university are expanding their building complexes to accommodate hospital and campus needs. Occasionally, those plans conflict with city zoning or service standards.

In any event, it usually takes only a few verbal bouts at council By HOWARD A. LI.LIS Sun Sl.ilf Wnlpr I.OMA LINDA Despite worldwide attention on the organ transplants of Baby Fae and Baby Moses at Loma Linda University Medical Center, this quiet, pre-- doniinantly Seventh-day Advent-; ist community isn't expecting any radical changes in lifestyle or at-" mosphere in lMMl "Tho activities which will most attract our attention and concern will be the construction of our new civic center on Loma Linda Drive, continued parks development, street, storm drain and service upgrading," Mayor Ardyce Koobs said. Another activity that will generate interest is the April municipal elections. Koobs and Coun-' cilman Elmer Digneo. a former mayor, will complete their current four-year terms and are expected to announce election intentions sometime this month.

Councilman Norm Meyer and Mayor Pro Tom T. Milford Harrison were re-elected in '84 and Mickey Lawson was elected to his first four-year term. Residential development took on a slower pace in 1935 after a quick-step in construction in 1984, and many projects remain on the drawing board. "I think they, the developers, just realized there weren't as many housing units required as anticipated," said Koobs. "But you know my philosophy, leave some land for future generations," the mayor said with a smile.

The community evolved from a health-systems hospital and sanitarium established at the turn of the century in what was then called "Mound City." It actually became a city in 1970 and occupies about five square miles between San Bernardino and Redlands.
