Three board to have elections Saturday 

By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise

Local voters will go to the polls this Saturday, May 4, to elect members to three local boards.

Citizens of the City of Clarendon will select three aldermen in voting being held at City Hall. Those running are Tommy Hill, Janice Knorpp, Mac Stavenhagen (i), and Mark White (i). Billy Jack Land (i) is running as a write-in candidate.

Howardwick citizens will also select three aldermen and can choose from Vernon Byars (i), Sam Grider, Donald Hollady, or Bobby Murdock. Balloting will be at the Howardwick City Hall.

Citizens of Donley County can vote for three positions on the Clarendon College Board of Regents. Those running are Jimmy Blackerby, Mary Douglas, Sherol Johnston, Jack A. Moreman (i), and Bill Sansing (i). Voting for these regent positions will be held at the Administration Building on the campus of the Clarendon Independent School District.

If early voting is any indication, the college district and the City of Clarendon may have big turnouts this weekend. As of Tuesday morning, college officials were reporting approximately 60 early voters having cast ballots, and Clarendon City Hall had had 43 citizens vote early.

Howardwick City Hall reported nine early voters.

Polling places for all three boards will be open Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
