MARBLE HILL -- Voters in Woodland School District will elect two new members to the school board Tuesday.

Six candidates are running for two seats on the Woodland Board of Education. The winners will replace retiring board members Gary Lutes and Linda Tipton.

The school board election at Woodland is one of several school and municipal contests on the ballot in Bollinger County.

Candidates for the three-year terms on the Woodland school board are Douglas A. Lindley, Kenny Trentham, Marcia Jackson, Perry Bennett, Henry D. Whitener and Sheila Teeters.

Lindley is a former board member from Glen Allen.

Trentham, a Marble Hill businessman, is also a Democratic candidate for Bollinger County presiding commissioner. County Clerk Diane Holzum said Trentham legally could serve in both positions. State election laws prohibit a candidate from running for two positions in the same election, but Trentham is running in only the school board election next week. The primary election for county offices is in August.

Jackson is the wife of Marble Hill City Administrator David Jackson. She works at the county health department.

Bennett formerly supervised the operation of school buses for Woodland.

Whitener operates a sawmill and owns Trace Creek Blues, a bed-and-breakfast place and blueberry farm at Glen Allen.

Teeters is a former teacher's aide at Woodland.

The only other school board race is in the Meadow Heights School District where three candidates are running for two seats. The candidates are Jim Boyd, Bob Wissore and incumbent Harold Miinch.

In municipal elections, the only contested race is in Marble Hill where retired businessman Robert F. "Bob" Green and Darrell Bostic, who works for a Bloomfield area manufacturer, are running for alderman of Ward 1. The winner will replace Alderman Russell Masterson, who isn't seeking re-election.

Brenda Hughes has no opposition in her bid to win a two-year term as city collector. She will replace Loveta Long, who is retiring.

Mayor Ben Ellis Jr. and Ward 2 Alderman Michael Morris are unopposed for re-election.

Jan VanEs and Tim Burchett are unopposed for re-election to the Zalma Board of Education. Dorothy Vangennip and Roy Vandeven are unopposed for re-election to the Leopold Board of Education.

There also isn't a race in Sedgewickville where James Boyd, Jim Busby and Lindell Hahs are running for three seats on the village board. All three serve on the board.

There aren't enough candidates running to fill all the town board seats in Glen Allen and Zalma. In Glen Allen, board members Loris Lincoln and Karen Wells are running for re-election. No one filed for the third seat. In Zalma, four candidates are running for the five seats. Village board members Collette Wilfong, Linda Pape and Dolores Jackson are running for re-election. Georgia Cookemboo is also running.

As is often the case in small-town municipal elections, write-in votes could decide who is elected to the third seat on the Glen Allen Board of Trustees and the fifth seat on the Zalma Village Board.
