Oct. 21, 2010

Readers of this publication have been submitting questions to be considered for use in next Monday's Candidate Forum, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of Garrett College. Additional questions may be submitted until noon Monday for the forum, which is being sponsored jointly by The Republican newspaper and WKHJ/WMSG Radio.
Candidates who are in competitive races in the November 2 general election have been invited to participate in the forum, which will be taped and aired on WKHJ and WMSG radio stations. They are: Delegate Wendell Beitzel (Republican) and Democrat challenger James "Smokey" Stanton; Robert Corley (Republican) and Skyler Hebden (Democrat); board of education candidates (non-partisan) Rodney Durst, incumbent, and challenger Rodney Reckart; Gregan Crawford (Repub-lican) and Eric Robison (Democrat), Garrett County Commissioner District I; and Commissioner District II incumbent Denny Glotfelty (Republican), William Welch (Democrat), and George Falter (write-in).

Glotfelty is now deceased, having succumbed to complications from cancer last night, and at presstime today it was still unknown if there will be time to complete the process of replacing him on the ballot. (See other story for details of that procedure.)

Questions may be submitted via e-mail to: newsroom@therepublicannews.-com. (No hyphens.) Persons may also mail their questions to The Republican, P.O. Box 326, Oakland, MD 21550.

Candidates will be given 90 seconds for an opening statement, 90 seconds to respond to each question, and 90 seconds for a closing statement.

The public is invited to attend the forum. For those unable to attend Monday, the forum will air on WMSG (1050 AM) next Thursday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m., and on WKHJ (104.5 FM) on Sunday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m.
