Odd, I don't remember saying anything about the Freehold Board of Education 
, but I am happy to work with them as part of the council. Kevin Kane is our liason to that body.

FREEHOLD - Incumbent Demo-cratic Borough Council members Sharon Shutzer and Marc Le Vine will keep their seats on the governing body following their re-election on Nov. 7.
Shutzer and Le Vine turned back a challenge from first-time Republican candidate Joseph Liguori and won three-year council terms.
Democratic Councilman Jaye Sims, who was appointed to the council earlier this year to fill an open seat, ran unopposed on Election Day and was tapped to complete the one-year unexpired term. Sims received 1,442 votes.
Le Vine, with 1,363 votes, and Shutzer, with 1,357 votes, defeated Liguori, who received 842 votes.
Le Vine was appointed to the council in October 2005 to fill an open seat. He had previously served on the council from 1991-97.
Le Vine, who said his goal is to help improve the quality of life for residents, said he is thankful to Mayor Michael Wilson and council members for having the faith to appoint him to the governing body in 2005.
"But it is a much greater feeling to be elected by the people of the borough," Le Vine said. "The people have had the opportunity to try me on for size and I'm glad that my contributions to the council appear to be to their liking. I will continue to work with council members and the Freehold Borough Board of Education to do what I can to make the town a better place in the future."
Shutzer, who will begin her sixth term in January, is serving as council president in 2006. She said she is looking forward to continuing to serve Freehold and is "as always, humbled by the experience of being chosen to be one of the governing body members."
"I am humbled by the confidence that the town has shown in me," Shutzer said. "I will continue to work hard and do everything I can possibly do to improve the quality of life in this town."
She said being re-elected again makes her even more determined to do her best for the town.
Sims said serving on the council has been a great learning experience.
"I am excited about the upcoming year," he said. "I have just been getting my feet wet, getting used to the routine of local government. Now I'll be settling down for the year and really getting into the thick of running the town."
Sims said he would like to see the efforts of the code enforcement depart-ment's rental inspection plan continue.
