Courtesty: Lovejoy ISD
Lovejoy Elementary School was the site of local election voting on Saturday, May 11 and featured voter turnout of more than 20 percent.

   Elections to determine Town Council members in Fairview in addition to LISD school board members will take place this Saturday, May 11.

    Voting will take place in the Lovejoy Elementary gymnasium from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

    Since state law requires that one-third of Trustee seats be up for election every year, or as close to that number as possible, three of Lovejoy ISD’s seven trustee seats are up for grabs. Of those, Chad Collins and Robbin Wells in seats 1 and 3, respectively, are running unopposed. LISD board trustee Ann Casey, mother of senior Cam Casey, however, is facing a challenge from citizen Brenda Rizos, who has no school aged children.

    Restricted by term limits, Fairview mayor Sim Israeloff is vacating his seat with Michael Pezzulli and Darion Culbertson competing to take over.  Their respective running mates Anton Mattli and Paul Hendricks, are running for seat five on the Town Council.  Also running for council seats unopposed are Frank O’Reilly and Ron Samuels.

About the Contributor
Adam Schasel, Staff Reporter
As clever as he is strong, as charming as he is quick, and as smart as he is intelligent, Adam Schasel was born in a hospital somewhere but immediately regretted being so mainstream. Accordingly, he spent the next 14 years of his life being raised by courage wolves and honey badgers until it was time to enroll in Lovejoy High School, at which he is currently a senior. This is Adam’s second year writing for The Red Ledger, and he still hopes to attain that coveted columnist position so he can shove his radical views down your throat. His passion for the political process is paralleled only by his love of Brian K Vaughan’s Saga and Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra (He ships Borra, in case you were wondering) and his penchant for playing both Pokémon cards and poker.  When he is not engaged in these activities Adam likes to catch up on current events, particularly from sources such as The Economist, Ezra Klein’s Wonkblog, NPR and Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog. Please don’t ever talk to him about prom dresses.
