Beach and Kent Face Off For City Council

Mayor Tedford Unopposed -- Will Serve Seventh Term Filing for City of Fallon municipal elections closed today, February 1st, at 5:00 p.m. Jack Beach and Karla Kent will run against each other for the Ward 2 seat currently held by Bob Erickson. Beach is a retired educator and lifelong resident of Fallon. Kent is a Fallon native as well, and the owner of Kent’s Supply Center. Erickson completes his service as City Councilman after serving 12 years and reaching his term limit. Mayor Ken Tedford did not draw an opponent and will continue as Mayor for another term. Because the Mayor serves in an executive capacity with no legislative authority and does not vote during City Council meetings, under Nevada Revised Statutes governing general law cities, term limits do not apply to the office of Mayor. Tedford was originally elected to serve on City Council in 1987 and in 1995 was elected for his first term as Mayor. Stay tuned to The Fallon Post for further election coverage.

Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
