Based on the notice about the blind
draw for ballot positions in the Town of Monongah elections, it looks like
Mayor Greg Vandetta, Class of 1975, and Recorder Patty Steele McCombs are
unopposed.
Monongah doesn’t list
candidates in alphabetical order, which would give an advantage to an Adams
over a Yerkovich by putting him/her at the top of the ballot, but draws for
ballot position.
Council candidates are incumbent
Bertha Wilson, Brenda Manzo, Lenny White, Teena Field Ailstock, incumbent Don
Harris, William “Bill” Watkins, Bill McCombs, incumbent JohnBoy Palmer and Mark
“Hooch” Aldridge.
JohnBoy Palmer, Don
Harris, Charlie Parker, Bertha Wilson and the late Warren Sloan won the 2015
Council races. Sloan died in May 2016.
Charley Parker was married to the late Blinda Nobel Parker, Class
of 1968, stepdaughter of Loraine Gorey Phillips Knobel.
Teena ran against Patty
in 2015 for Town Recorder.
Brenda is a Fairmont East High grad
who is married to Danny Manzo, Class of 1957.
Lenny is in Susan Staron
Sanders’ Charge of the Lights Brigade that raises money for Christmas street
lights for the town.
Harris is president of
the Monongah Community Employment Board.
Bill McCombs, Class of
1969, is Monongah’s water expert, and has a state award to document his
expertise. He’s married to Town Recorder Patty.
Bill won the Monongah
mayoral race several years ago, but had to withdraw from the office because the
state ruled his water duties conflicted with his mayoral duties.
Monongah public service
runs in Hooch’s family. His late mother, Mary Jean “Mickey” Walker Aldridge,
was town clerk for 30 years.
Hooch is Class of 1973.
His siblings are Greg Aldridge, Class of 1972, and Scott Aldrdge, 1983 North
Marion grad. Their father was the late Edwin Aldridge.
