I believe the city has been run well the past 10 years and I believe the voters saw that," said Romkema, who earned a third two-year term.

Rabe was appointed in 1991 after the newly elected Ward 3 alderman resigned.

She said her defeat would be a loss to Ward 3 because Holbrook had a record as "a big spender." Holbrook said his victory was due in large part to his old campaign standby: door-to-door campaigning. And Ward 3 was still smarting over Rabe's appointment, he said.

Harris: Depression diagnosed Continued from page A1 Harris was diagnosed as suffering from a treatable double depression and suicidal tendencies following the September 1991 abduction of 21 classmates at Stevens High School. Mirroring a scene from a favorite Stephen King novel, Harris walked into the classroom with a loaded sawed-off shotgun and held police at bay more than four hours. He fired the gun several times in the classroom and in the direction of a Rapid City police officer, but no one was injured.
