HIRAM CITY COUNCIL

 

Hi.  I’m Kathy Carter.  I’m your neighbor here in Hiram.  I live in Seaboard Township and I am running for Hiram City Council.  I’ve never run for public office before.  When friends mentioned there was an opening on the city council and suggested I run for the seat, I said, “Not me! I don’t know anything about city politics.” They answered that was what would make me good…that, and the fact that I care about our city.

 

I’ve lived in Hiram almost seven years having moved here from West Palm Beach, FL. One of my dearest friends and her family have always lived in Hiram. I’ve been visiting here since the 1970’s and watched Hiram grow from a tiny little place that I had trouble finding, to a place that I’m now happy to call home. I always tell everyone that everything I need is right here within a 3 mile radius; shopping, banking, a park to take my granddaughters to feed the ducks, my office (less than 2 miles up the road) and the Silver Comet Trail where I walk (at least that’s the plan…3-4 times a week).

 

I’m employed by Family Intervention Specialists. My training is in social work but my title is Community Outreach Specialist.  I’m community-minded and am a board member of the Family Alliance of Paulding, also located here in Hiram. Through my employment I’m involved in many family-focused initiatives across Paulding County.  My daughter, Kathryn, is a school psychologist with the Paulding County School System.

 

If elected I want to be part of helping Hiram continue to move in the positive direction I’ve seen it expand into since moving here.  It’s a family-friendly community with old fashioned values. Recently, I’ve watched as some of the stores in our downtown have closed. I very much want to see Old Town Hiram come back to life.  Hand in hand with downtown development is economic development. I want to see more businesses fall in love with our town and see the value of setting up shop here.  I love the community events Hiram offers such as Christmas in Old Town Hiram, 5K’s along the Silver Comet Trail and holiday celebrations in the park.  I would like to be part of bringing more of those events to town to encourage citizens to feel connected and develop a strong sense of community.  I care about Hiram and am proud to call it my home. I have a lot of enthusiasm and energy and I catch on fast!  If elected I believe I can be part of helping make Hiram a better place for us, our children and our grandchildren. 

 

Please vote on November 5, 2013 at the Hiram Community Center (7am-7pm).

We are expecting a small turnout at the polls so every vote is going to be very important.  Especially yours!

 

To request an absentee ballot to vote by mail, or if you have other questions, please call the Paulding County voter registrar at 770-443-7503 ASAP.  Thanks!

Seaboard Township - Discounts for painting units

Thanks to everyone that responded and wanted to partner together with the painting endeavor.

 

I've attached the name of 3 vendors that are willing to paint our units and willing to give a discount.  The challenge is that these vendors will give a discount but will need to price each unit individually.  Also, they would like to tackle more than one home in a day so that they benefit from coming to our community.  Two of the three listed below were referred by our fellow residents. 

 

Advice:  Either partner with a neighbor to schedule your work for the same day or ask the vendor when he will be painting other homes in the neighborhood so that you can benefit from a discount.

 

I wish it would've worked out to be a little easier than this.
