Shimek OUT; Whalen All IN

Folks....we WILL have a new face on the school board next April.
Terry Shimek told several members of the public that he was NOT running for re-election.
We wish Mr. Shimek the best in his endeavors; we know he'll be around, as he has been for about 15 years.

Now on to Mr. Whalen, who seemed to be somewhat clandestine as he gathered fellow board member signatures for his nomination papers.  Whalen has been on the board for 6 years; in our opinion, 3 more would be to be too much.  Johnny, We Hardily Know Ye....and the school board needs someone with a thought in his head other than Tim Culver's.

The early leader would appear to be Mike Krachey.  Krachey brings a lot to the table as a long-time resident, member of the school board's FTT committee, and someone with a strong business mind.  We also understand that nomination papers were taken out by Gary Naud.  Little is known about Mr. Naud.  We'll find out for certain who's in the race come January 3rd.
