Former Alexander alderman appointed to fill vacancy

CORRECTIONS: One of our bloggers, Bill, has pointed out in paragraph one the month of the meeting should have been July not June. Also, in paragraph three Shoemaker's name was used instead of Gregory. These were obviously incorrect. We apologize for the confusion. Thanks Bill.

  
Samuel Gregory was appointed as alderman of Ward-3 at the City of Alexander's June 15 meeting. Gregory replaces former Alderman Jack Shoemaker who resigned after moving out of Alexander.

This is not Gregory's first time filling a vacancy created by Shoemaker. He was appointed to fill a vacancy in Ward-3 when Jack Shoemaker resigned in 2012 over political issues. He then lost to Shoemaker when they both ran in the 2012 election.

Besides Gregory, there were five other Ward-3 residents who submitted resumes for the position. They were Harvey C. Howard, Lisa Morgan, Kathy B. Hall, Catherine M. Nightlinger, and Andrea Bearden.

Howard is also a former Ward-3 alderman. He lost re-election in 2012 to Dan Church after serving nearly five years on the city council.

  1. Editor,
    I can't figure out why Jack Shoemaker would submit a resume for the position he just VACATED as you state above.
    Like I have said in the past get the facts straight if you are a good editor!!!!

    Anyway "GOOD JOB" Council members. Mr. Gregory
    will attend meetings and ASK QUESTIONS & DISCUSS
    openly in the Council meetings before he makes his decisions.
    We need a good vocal, not one sided replacement for Dan Church.
    Then the next step will be the resignation of Juanita. Then all the "BRING BACK X-Mayor Mitchell" supporters will be gone from the Council. The City can go forward with business in a dignified way. Maybe the newspapers can find some other City to use to sell print.
    Bill

    1. It's bad enough I have to defend the facts, but to have to defend something I didn't write is something else. If you don't know the difference between "resigned" and "resume" then stop reading this blog and go back to your Dick and Jane books.

    2. Dear editor who doesn't re-read their own story. You wrote and I'll quote you "Besides,there were 5 Ward-3 residents who submitted resumes for that position. They were Harvey C.Howard, Lisa Morgan, Kathy B. Hall, Catherine M. Nightlinger, and Andrea Bearden." Kathy b. Hall applied for Treasurer. Get your facts straight and read your own words twice before you type, cause you might be a good wife, a good mother, a good sister, or a good daughter, cause you SUCK as a editor!!!!!!!!!!!!

    3. Alex, I bet your not a good wife! (or daughter, etc) ;-)
      bill, don't try to correct someone when your mirrow is so near - maybe thats the problem, Bill needs a mirror!!!
      Bill is just bitter, probably no takers on yard mowing offers.

    4. Well Peter Burns, how do you know Kathy B. Hall applied for treasurer? For that matter, why would anyone know? Out of the six resumes sent to council members prior to the meeting only one stated the position they wanted to fill; that was Catherine M. Nightlinger applying for alderman. When someone is applying for any position they need to say that at the top of the resume. I hope the mayor knew that and kept it.

    5. your editing still is terrible!! Even after you corrected yourself, you still wrote the wrong crap. The meeting that Sam Gregory was appointed alderman wasn't the June 15 meeting it was July 15. The June meeting was on the 17th. Also as for the Kathy Hall as treasurer, if you were there than when Mayor Hobbs said that 1 person applied for treasurer and that was Kathy Hall. But you weren't there so how could have you known. This crappy site being a tool to info concern citizens of Alexander, how can they know what the truth is when you can't even get your 2nd correction accurate. 3rd time is always a charm!!!!

  2. CCC and dignified is an oxymoron.
    As for Mr. Gregory asking questions and discussing openly, I hope he adds delays until a reasonable bit of information can cause a sensible decision - NOW THAT WILL BE A FIRST!
    My money is on Juanita. You could all take a lesson from her on honesty, integrity, and tenacity.
    Bill, of all people will not get that, but maybe someone else will.

  3. Alex N. Der,
    You say you are the Editor and Web-master but you say you did not write the July 19, 2013,2:30PM post that was signed by you. If you forgot this is your post that I wrote about first. Your smart remarks about me not knowing the difference between "resigned and Resume" did not make since. Like alot of things you have printed.
    I made reference to the 3d paragraph of your first post about "besides Shoemaker there were 5 other Ward 3 residents that submitted resumes". You are like the other "BRING BACK X-MAYOR MITCHELL" suporters you have tunnel vision and can't admit you are WRONG!!
    I also don't understand Louella's comment about me not having "Any takers on yard mowing". Also,as for Juanita's HONESTY, INTEGRITY and TENACITY those are jokes when it comes to her.

  4. Bill and PB, you talk for the world like the alderman who solicits sexual favors through a lawn mowing business, if it isn't you, it is an honest mischaracterization on my part, because the grammatical delivery is almost identical to his ignorant conversation and hateful attitude. Ask your cohorts, someone will get angry, and you'll know who it is. Unless you have seen the text message going around with his phone number on it.
    You have screwed up almost every post you've posted, so I wouldn't be judging anyone, especially someone like Alex N Der who is obviously so far above your league. There isn't even room in this blog site to itemize your errors.
    Paul Mitchell NEVER misused his mayoral power. Yes, I am pro Paul Mitchell, anti Michelle Kidd and her cookie cutter posse, it is my right, and I couldn't care less what your opinion is, or whether you like it or not. Nor do you care what I think, you just like to argue, belittle people and make yourself a pain.
    Lastly, as far as Juanita and HONESTY, INTEGRITY AND TENACITY, you'd have to know the Webster definition before you could appreciate it. By the way, this is another hint that likely you do know about the PROPOSITION BY TEXT.
