Filing Deadline is Wednesday
From the Star...
Eleven potential candidates for the two open seats on the Simi Valley Unified School District board have pulled papers for the November election. Neither incumbent board members Carla Kurachi nor Greg Stratton are on the list.
Of the 11 who pulled candidacy papers for the school board, as of Friday afternoon five men have filed their intention to run with the Ventura County Elections Division.
The five confirmed candidates so far for the Simi district board are: Eric Lundstrom, a businessman who ran in the 2004 election; Tim Camarillo; Stephen Gould, a former school board member who lost his seat in the 2004 election; Thurlow Partridge, a retired teacher; and Steven Bloore.
There may have been more who filed late Friday, but election officials in the county's office said they wouldn't have the final tally available until Monday.
Because neither incumbent board member filed papers to defend their seats in the November election, the filing period will be extended to Wednesday.

Posted by: Doc at August 15, 2006 01:03 PMWhat, were Doug Crosse & Cesar Julian on vacation or something?
Posted by: Not Ed Abele at August 15, 2006 01:26 PMTim Keaney moved to Texas??? Does he have a ghostwriter? IF he ran from there, I'd vote for him.

Posted by: Donna Prenta at August 15, 2006 01:54 PMBetter question. If Keaney moved to Texas why is he still doing this blog? Isn't this a local blog?
Don't they have school boards in Texas?
Jimmy,
Because no one cares about Abilene ISD.
Not Tim Keaney (but like him lots)

So you "like him lots", you mean like Brokeback Mountain you like him lots? Is that the Texas connection? Just joking y'all.
Wow Jimmy, I am flattered but I don't see those movies if you know what I mean.
Donna - great question about the County Race... I'll do an entry on it.

What movies? Cowboy movies? How is the weather in Texas?
Anything with Heath Ledger...
Jimmy, Texas is hotter than the impending Gould/Lundstrom smackdown.
Posted by: Tim Keaney at August 16, 2006 03:51 PMAfter reading the list of candidates running for Simi Valley school board, I am very concerned. My biggest fear is that Bob LaBelle will somehow be elected. I can honestly say that he was the worst thing that ever happened to Royal High School. He would be disasterous for the entire school district. He is a micro manager who only listens to one opinion....his own. I truly hope the voters really listen when he speaks. His arrogance will definitely show through.

Steve Gould!?!? Maybe Diane Collins is going to run, too? Where is Arleigh Kidding? He is still convinced, I'm sure, that Tim Keaney is running.
