ELECTION DOUBLE-TAKE: SHELL ON BALLOT TWICE

MARBLE HILL -- Adrian Shell wants voters to elect him twice.

The Marble Hill mayor wants voters to re-elect him to a second, two-year term Tuesday. But he's also hoping to be elected as Bollinger County collector later this year. The Republican candidate is one of six candidates seeking to succeed longtime Collector Dale Bollinger.

Shell said Saturday that he sees no problem in doing both jobs. "Everybody has to make a living. You can't make a living in Marble Hill being mayor because it isn't a paying job."

In Tuesday's municipal election, Shell faces opposition from veterinarian Benjamin F. Ellis Jr.

Marble Hill voters also will be electing aldermen. In Ward 1, the contest is between Russell P. Masterson and James Young.

In Ward 2, five candidates are running for the one position. The candidates are Richard Taylor, Michael Morris, Harold "Pee Jay" James, John Tucker and Lindell Seabaugh.

Voters in the Zalma School District are being asked to approve a waiver of the Proposition C tax rollback in order to levy the minimum tax required to receive state funding.

In the village of Zalma, voters will choose from among six candidates for five slots on the town board. The candidates are Delores Jackson, Linda Pape, Roy Lingle, Tom Goolsby, Collette Wilfong and Georgia Cookemboo.

In the Woodland School District, three candidates are seeking two positions on the board of education. The candidates are Jim Byland and incumbents Douglas Lindley and Steven Upchurch.

In the Meadow Heights School District, five candidates are seeking two positions on the school board. The candidates are Phyllis Bollinger, Mary Eskew, Roy Allen, John Smith and Harold Francis.

In Glen Allen, four candidates are running for three positions on the town board. The candidates are Bobby Fox, Roy Johnson, J.C. Nanney and Loris Lincoln.
