RUMFORD – Three people are running unopposed for three seats on the SAD 43 board. Neither the incumbent tax collector nor the person serving on the Board of Assessors are being challenged for their positions.
Seeking three-year terms as representatives on the SAD 43 board from Rumford are incumbent Linda Westleigh, 43; former school board member David McKivergan, 70; and first-time candidate Frank DiConzo, 55.
Westleigh, an assistant bank manager, filled the remaining two years of a term started by Ed Flynn. The East Bethel Road resident has served as board vice chairman for the past year.
McKivergan, a retired teacher and school administrator, represented Rumford on the board from 2000-2003. The South Rumford Road resident headed up the superintendent search committee while on the board.
DiConzo, a resident of High Street, is a 15-year member of the town’s Finance Committee. He is a retired postal worker and member of several local organizations. He said he believes his work on the Finance Committee would be helpful in trying to reduce the school budgets.
Incumbent Carlo Puiia, 44, is seeking a fifth two-year term as tax collector. He is a graduate of Rumford High School and Bentley College.
Incumbent Louise Horne, 61, is running for her first full three-year term on the Board of Assessors. She served one year to fill a vacancy. She is a retired loan officer and Realtor.
Elections take place on June 8.
