SKITIOX 2 - PACiK 4 - PI..VI \I)K ALKR-WEDMESD AY, APRIL 13. It77 (Continued from page 3) He has been \ illage president for nine months, having been appointed to the position after the previous president resigned. Saunders is married, and he and his wife. Beverly, have two children. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in marine and electrical engineering from Massachusetts Maritime academy, and is currently employed as an assistant manager in the special inspection services tLOSS) for Kemper insurance. He has lived in the community for six years, and is a member of the First United Methodist church. Major Problems "The major problem in Holiday Hills is that the village has had a bad name as a subdivision for a long time. It has a generally undesirable image which it needs to overcome. "That is the biggest thing. We need to develop community spirit among villagers, and work hard in the areas of community planning and solid implementation." Ideas For Meeting Them "Upgrading of the roads is one of the things that can be done to improve the image of the area. We have just put our own police squad on the road, which should help with the vandalism problem. "We need to develop the identity of a village, and create the idea that we are a municipality. We aren't just a subdivision stuck out in the middle of somewhere with no identity." FOR VILLAGE CLERK IN HOLIDAY HILLS Phyllis Ann Bryan Phyllis Ann Bryan, 1514 Sunset drive. Holiday Hills, is seeking* her first term as village clerk. She is a graduate of Michigan State university, and is currently a housewife and part-time secretary. Mrs. Bryan has lived in the area for one and one-half years, and is married with one child. She worked for the U.S. government for one and one-half years as an assistant to a personnel director, and also served as a clerk and typist. She is a member of St. Mark's Episcopal church, and is a member of the Newcomer's club. Major Problems "The major problems facing the village are a lack of communication, organization, roads, street lights, and drainage." Ideas For Meeting Them "To improve the communication problem it is important that residents know all business which affects them. This includes not just knowing that ordinances were passed, but knowing what those ordinances entail. "In order to have organization, the village clerk must work on a one-to-one basis with the residents, and help and guide them from within the clerk's position. "It is not the clerk's job to make final decisions of her own accord when other positions (i.e. building inspectors, trustees, etc.) are involved. However, she must make every effort to work alongside these people. "Roads, streetlights, and drainage are problems which will be taken care of as the village matures and gains income. We incorporated for this purpose, but we shouldn't get in over our heads financially too soon. "It takes good organization overall to give successful birth to a new village." M. Marilyn Cole M.Marilyn Cole, 2410 Lilac drive, Holiday Hills, is seeking her first term as village clerk. She is married, and her husband, Carl, is a carpenter. Mrs. Cole is a housewife. The Coles have three boys. Mrs. Cole graduated from Lake View high school, and has lived in the area for three years. She has worked as a file clerk in a bank, worked as a billing clerk and bookkeeper for an insurance company, and also has been a secretary for a restaurant, where she also worked with the public. Major Problems "The major problem facing our village is communication." Ideas For Meeting Them "As village clerk, I will try my best to let the residents of Holiday Hills know what the village board decides. Also, the residents need to know what the board is doing so that everyone is aware of what is going on in their village. "Some persons are unaware of the ordinances passed, or about building permits needed. Examples of some ordinances in the village are ordinances covering dogs, garbage, parking, and building." FOR VILLAGE TRUSTEE OF HOLIDAY HILLS (ELECT 3) Charles Dubsky Charles Dubsky, 1516 Elm street, Holiday Hills, is seeking election to his first full term as a village trustee. For the past eight months, he has served as an appointed trustee, filling the vacancy created when Roger Saunders assumed the board presidency. Dubsky has lived in the village for one year, and lives with his wife and two children. Major Problems "After talking to many residents of Holiday Hills, some of whom have lived in the village for as little as two vears, and some for as many as twenty years, it has become apparent that most of the people feel that roads and road improvement should be the primary concern of the village board. "Most of the people stated that the only reason that they had voted for incorporation was to get the roads improved.' Ideas For Meeting Them "The village board has its work cut out for it. We are a small village and, as such, cannot generate endless amounts of money. "The people of Holiday Hills do not need regular tax increases to support frills and frivolous spending. "Taxes, as far as the village is concerned, should remain stable, with existing income being put to use as the people want itused~on the roads. "Every board member will have to refrain from costly ideas and divert every available dollar to the road effort. General revenue funds can be used on the roads if the board so deems." Rosemary Holtz Rosemary Holtz, 1312 Sunset drive, Holiday Hills, is seeking her first term as a village trustee. She has previously served her community by being a member of the Holiday Hills Planning commission, the Village Ordinance committee, and the Village Insurance committee. She and her husband, William, have three children. The Holtzes have lived in the area for two and one-half years. She graduated from high school, and is presently a housewife and mother. Major Problems "A primary concern during the first part of this year should be road repair. Our already poor roads have become worse due to the extreme winter weather. "Secondly, we must establish a permanent village meeting place. We should also consider the formulation of strict ordinances dealing with vandalism ana parental responsibility. "Finally, steps should be taken to open the lines of communication between board members and the general public." Ideas For Meeting Them "I would like to see a plan adopted that would not only provide temporary relief for bad roads, but an on-going schedule for permanent reconstruction. "The prospect of renting a house with option to buy should be considered for a village meeting place. If, at a later date, a new building is constructed, the old property could be converted to a community house available to service organizations in the village. "With the assistance of the village attorney, the Ordinance committee and the full board should work together to curb the usual rash of summer vandalism. I would ask that a parental responsibility ordinance be passed immediately." A.H. Roth Comments from A.H. Roth were unavailable. Helen W. Schneider Helen W. Schneider, the present village clerk, was on an Easter weekend vacation, and unable to provide any information. However, she was elected to the position of village clerk one year ago, when the village incorporated, and is now running for her first term as a village trustee. She has lived in the area for over three years, and along with her husband, John, she has one daughter. She is a housewife and mother. Mrs. Schneider wants to improve the communication between the board members and the villagers, and also wants the board to concentrate on road improvement. Sherry Senn Sherry Senn, 2708 S. Holiday drive, Holiday Hills, is seeking her first term as a village trustee. She is a college graduate, and currently is a housewife and mother. Mrs. Senn, and her husband, Ted, have two children. Major Problems "The roads and a lack of drainage ditches are Holiday Hills' two major problems." Ideas For Meeting Them "Drainage and better roads should be our first consideration. With drainage ditches and culverts installed, roads will not be undermined by standing water, and can then be properly built up with gravel, graded, and kept in safe driving condition. "Since the roads are our main concern, this would solve our biggest problem." John Van Duyn John Van Duyn, 2406 S. Park Terrace, is running for reelection to the village board. He has served as a trustee since the village incorporated one year ago. Van Duyn has lived in the area for eighteen years, khd lives with his wife, Josephine. They have five children and two grandchildren. Van Duyn is employed as a road construction foreman, and is a member of the Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church. Major Problems "The major problem we have is roads." Ideas For Meeting Them "To solve the problem we can only do as much as possible with the funds we have." Jack Allen White Comments from Jack White were unavailable.
