Former GT Resident Runs for Barstow City Council

BARSTOW & GRAND TERRACE

* Larry Halstead, founder and director of Earth Haven Foundation for Kids, which works with children with drug-related problems, and a community activist

IN BARSTOW : Ten citizens pulled papers to run for the two open City Council seats, and nine returned them to the City Clerk's office by the 5 p.m. deadline Friday.

The Council seats of Gloria Darling, who resigned, and incumbent Helen Runyon are open in the Nov. 7 general election.

The two candidates who receive the most votes will be awarded the seats. The office is non-partisan.

Gramps Adds: Why blog this in the GrandTerraceNews.blogspot. Well Barstow had a recent recall, corruption cases, and all but one thing in common with GT. Their City Manager chooses to live in Barstow and was not INDUCED to live where or near where he works... AND that is BARSTOW...

Mr. Halstead and his family still own property in Grand Terrace. He also had an interesting past in our own local politics. So his story is a tangent to the communities. Good Luck Larry....
