The three incumbents running for re-election to the Upper Thompson Sanitation District board of directors went down to defeat in the May 6 election. John Michael Kearney, Chris Eshelman and Larry Pettyjohn replaced incumbents Doug Fox, Jack E. Reed and Robert M. Ryan.
Kearney defeated Fox, 700 to 596 for a two-year term. Pettyjohn (656) and Eshelman (508) received the most votes in the race for two, four-year terms. Ryan was third with 467 votes and Reed was fourth with 457. Rounding out the field were Reed Smedley with 345 votes and Michael Griffith with 129.
The sanitation district election was held through the mail. Officials mailed ballots to over 5,000 addresses within the district.
Incumbents faired better in Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) election. The two candidates seeking reelection, Jack Holmquist and Mike Richardson, were returned to the EVRPD board. Kathy Asche was the voter’s choice to join the board. She replaces incumbent Steve Wilson who was not eligible to run because of state mandated term limits.
Richardson received the most votes with 231. Asche was second with 205 votes and Holmquist was third with 191 votes. Other candidates for the board included Jim Martinson with 98 votes, Meredith Cox Sloan with 71 votes and Marilee Long-Saxe with 50 votes.
Polling for the recreation district was held at the Estes Park Municipal Building.

    I agree! But theres a slight message there that Obama would change the power - he wont. Hes a rockefeller puppet with his association with Brzezinski now.

    Fine, he is an evil puppet just like the rest of them. The difference is that he is LESS of an evil puppet than Hillary or Mccain ever will be. This is what is known as choosing the lesser evil.

    Perhaps, but I deserve a little leeway here. It’s 5:00 AM and I’ve been up all night and I’m out of Scotch.

    Someone tell me if it’s racist to assume black people would automatically vote for Obama.
