We've been adding candidate websites to the Links column on the right. If we've missed any, of course let us know so that they can be added.
The "slate" approach to campaigning, especially campaigning for school board, is an interesting development. The School Board is nominally non-partisan, meaning that there isn't really a "Democrat" or "Republican" take on educating our children and managing the schools. We all know that in practice there are Democratic candidates and Republican candidates running against each other. Party politics is part of Mt. Lebanon's genetic code.
Note the newest addition to the website lineup, a slate comprised of incumbents Dan Remely and Alan Silhol and newcomers Electa Boyle and Dale Ostergaard. (Full disclosure: I've known Dale and the extended Ostergaard family for many years, primarily through Scouting. I think that Dale would bring a lot of integrity and leadership skill to the Board.) Remely, Silhol, Boyle and Ostergaard are the "R Team." Get it? R Team? (Before you think to yourself -- "I pity the fool!" -- remember : R Team, not A Team.) And R stands for ... "Responsible, Responsive, Respectful, Reasonable." If R happens to remind you of anything else, well, hmmm, that's just ... coincidence?

Ditto on "Ostergaard"
I've known Dale and the extended Ostergaard family for many years, primarily through Scouting. Mr. Ostergaard (Dale's father) was my first scoutmaster.
Double Ditto on "Ostergaard"
I think that Dale would bring a lot of integrity and leadership skill to the Board.
