Local Races Take Shape as Filing Deadline Passes

Four candidates file papers to run for three School Board seats; three candidates vie for two seats on Village Board.

With Wednesday's deadline to file candidacy paperwork history, four will vie for three seats on the School Board, and three candidates for two seats on the Village Board in the April 2 election. 

Gregg Davis, 1901 E. Lake Bluff Blvd., and incumbents Paru Shah, 4259 N. Larkin Ave.; Board President Rob Reinhoffer, 4432 N. Wildwood Ave.; and Board Vice President Colin Plese, 2113 E. Lake Bluff Blvd. have filed papers to run for School Board.

Davis has never run for School Board in Shorewood, but has served on boards in the Chicago area, according to the superintendent's office. Shah was recently appointed to the board following Michael Mishlove's resignation. 

School Board members serve three-year terms and earn $1,000 annually and the board president earns $1,200.

On the Village Board side, incumbent Trustee Patrick Linnane, 1511 E. Beverly Rd.; Tammy Bockhorst, 1617 E. Lake Bluff Blvd.; and Paul Zovic, 2504 E. Newton Ave. have all filed to run for trustee. 

Bockhorst nor Zovic have ever run for trustee in the past; Zovic is a former School Board president. 

Trustee Ellen Eckman, who currently holds one of the two Village Board seats up for re-election, announced in mid-December she would not seek re-election after 12 years on the Village Board.

Trustees serve three-year terms and make $1,000 annually.

If more than two people had filed for any post, then a primary would have been held Feb. 19. The general election is April 2.

What a blah slate of candidates. Guess it will continue to be a good old boys network of worthless leadership.

Well then, I guess it's a good thing that you don't live in Shorewood, so you don't need to worry about it. As usual.

I hate this.

Can you stop hating it for an hour?

I blame the internet for bigotry towards globes.

This makes absolutely no sense to the normal reader. What the heck are your talking about??
Steve ® June 10, 2013 at 03:55 pm
So? What was used and what harm does it cause? Although ironic this may provide more good thanRead More harm. What is written on the application sign?

The bluff and other areas need to be planted with things that will snuff out the weeds. They areRead More harmful to animals and possibly birds, of which there are many at atwater. Obviously not many animals but there are squirrels and rabbits and other native mammals. Not to mention the kids at the play area. Most adult humans can handle an occasional wiff of a pesticide but not children or animals. I have held several pesticide licenses in my day so I have had much course work on this. I am surprised the village has done this but I know restoration is about to begin - again - on the bluff and perhaps they are trying to rid the bluff of all the weeds. It is a shame that the 15+ kids they hire every year can't be up there weeding instead. I don't know what else they could be doing as the village has reduced the amount of annual flower beds that need to be maintained.

The liberal minded Patch had it going their way for some time. Then, the contrary opinions became aRead More "voice to be heard". So, like all liberal media, just shut down the "free speech". Speech that educates the people is a NO-NO in the world of "public education". Have no fear, other avenues to educate the public is on the way.

Given the amount of liberal propaganda that is posted around here, one does have to wonder if PatchRead More intended to make it more difficult to reply to comments (and set the record straight)...
Mike Stevens June 14, 2013 at 07:20 am
Wow, PaulRevere, AKA the hardest working person in America, who only takes 1 day per month off andRead More who believes all evil is related to public schooling, has time to not only comment on St. Louis area Patch sites, but on Milwaukee area sites as well? Paul, perhaps you should go back to school to check your grammar--other avenues to educate the public ARE on the way, not IS on the way. Oh, you must be too busy working 20 hours a day (but finding tons of time to comment on several Patch sites) to check grammar

Sure Keith. I am sure every time you use the term Tea Bagger it is not vulgar. The symbol for yourRead More failed recall movement was a Blue Fist. No one wants to be ruled by a fist and I don't see how that is vulgar when your own logo was a blue fist. Try again.
Keith Schmitz June 6, 2013 at 01:03 pm
Are you assuming we're stupid Steve? Don't. BTW -- you called yourselves Tea Baggers. We're onlyRead More using the term you selected. What a great PR roll-up for this group of Neanderthals. You're problem with that any fister reference is usually the speaker feels it is where his head should be.
Greg June 6, 2013 at 01:10 pm
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that is why their fists are blue, OUCH!

I think if you look at most of the sites still running the older version, you'll see the sameRead More messages of impending doom we got just before the change...
Bob McBride June 6, 2013 at 09:15 am
I got the name wrong, it was "Bellmore", not Belmont. It was part of rollout of what atRead More the time was being referred to as "Patch 2.0" in the press. It was rolled out to five towns in the Long Island, NY area in September of last year. I'm going to attempt to post a link to an article:: http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/189296/aols-redesigned-patch-websites-make-a-play-for-neighborhood-groups/

"I think if you look at most of the sites still running the older version, you'll see the sameRead More messages of impending doom we got just before the change... " | I think that's true, Bob. I poked around at a number of Patch sites around the country and the 'Welcome to the New Patch' articles were full of the same complaints we are seeing here. | This Patch redesign seems to be the 'New Coke' of websites...
