PETTIT AND WADLINGTON RETAIN SCOTT CITY SCHOOL BOARD SEATS

SCOTT CITY -- Two members of the Scott City Board of Education were successful Tuesday in re-election bids.

Jerry Pettit and Robert Wadlington retained their seats on the board. Each won a fourth term.

Other candidates for the two, three-year terms on the board were David Phelps and Gary W. Robey.

Pettit received 365 votes. Wadlington followed with 342. Phelps received 301 votes and Robey, 125.

About 22 percent of the registered voters went to the polls.

It was Phelps' first try for a seat on the school board. Robey also made his first bid for a seat on the board.

In city races, three incumbents on the City Council and a former member of the city's Police Personnel Board ran unopposed for a seat on the council.

Elected to a Ward 1 seat was Brenda Moyers, who formerly served on the police board. Former Ward 1 councilman and one-time mayor Alvie Modglin did not file for re-election. Moyers received 203 votes.

Incumbent Jim Cauble, Ward 2, received 73 votes; Jerry Cummins, Ward 3, 173 votes; and John Smith, Ward 4, 89 votes.

It will be Cauble's fourth term on the council. Cummins and Smith will serve third terms.
