PRIMARY CANDIDATE ANALYSIS PHASE ONE

PROBATE COURT JUDGE

Judge Keith W. Kornahrens, the incumbent, is running unopposed. The judge has done a good job and we've heard no criticism of his performance.

REGISTER OF DEEDS

Cindy Forte is, also, the incumbent and running unopposed.

BC SHERIFF

Wayne Dewitt, the incumbent, is running unopposed. The Sheriff has done a very good job in this office. There have been many improvements in the department during his tenure. We have always thought the Sheriff and his department deserves a lot more recognition than they get. The greatest threat most elected officials face is a paper cut. This department regularly deals with folks with guns.

BC CLERK OF COURT

This primary, incumbent Mary Brown is running unopposed so no controversy here.

BC COUNCIL DISTRICT 7

For the first time in a lot of years, we have a Republican running for the 7th District Council seat. Mr. Bill Fennell will be challenging long time Democrat Councilman, Caldwell Pinckney, in the November election. Mr. Pinckney has alienated many of his Democrat supporters with his involvement in the water lines to nowhere in the Cross area. This campaign will be worth watching. We will make one prediction. Before this campaign gets started good, someone will accuse Mr. Pinckney's dissenters of being a bunch of racists. It's coming so get ready.

Work and meetings beckon so we will continue shortly.
