8-Santa Cruz Sentinel Sunday, March 14, 1982 Door Closes On Filing For Most Political Offices Garcia. Whenever the incumbent doesn't run, as in Neal's case, the filing deadline is extended by five days (to next Wednesday). The extension is to prevent a popular incumbent from rigging the race by indicating he or she will run and then at the last minute coming in with a friend who registers instead and runs without By PAUL BEATTY Sentinel Staff Writer With three county administrators standing around nervously waiting for the clock to strike five so they'd know if they had to fight for their jobs in June, the county clerk finally closed the door Friday afternoon cutting off filing for six of the seven local offices up for election this year. Barely stumbling in under the wire was Richard Bristow, who in the last five minutes was told his nomination papers needed three more signatures of registered voters. A desperate Bristow turned from the elections counter, saying, "All my work for months is going down the drain." He was saved by two county workers and a reporter who lost his objectivity.

Pacing at the door were County Treasurer Bill Murphy, Auditor Art Merrill and Assessor Bob Petersen, who breathed a sigh of relief when no one came in to file for their offices. they get a free ride for their four-year terms as did District Attorney Art banner, who probably would have been at the door except he's working to solve a murder case. The man closing the door, County Clerk Dick Meal, will retire in December and there are two candidates contesting that office Deputy County Clerk Richard Bedal and Capitola City Councilman Bob Election Summary Countywide there will be June elections for superintendent of schools, sheriff and county clerk. Also, two supervisorial districts the Third (Seaside) and Fourth (Watsonville) will have elections. Seaside Supervisor Gary Patton will face challenger Kate Sears-Williams and Watsonville Supervisor Wayne Moore will face Mario Carabarin.

School Superintendent Richard Van Deren has three challengers: Community activist Richard Bristow, high school teacher David Weiss and school administrator Frank W. Cooper. Sheriff Al Noren will face Gladys Angel-Moran of Boulder Creek, detention officer Walt Young and district attorney's investigator Sam Robustelli. County Clerk Dick Neal is not running and his office is sought by Deputy County Clerk Richard Bedal and Capitola City Councilman Bob Garcia. Filing closes in that race Wednesday.

It is possible the contest for sheriff will go to the Nov. 2 ballot if Noren can't get over a bare 50 percent, and it is probable the race for superintedent will go to November. Two candidates have indicated they will run in the Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives. Gary Richard Arnold of Santa Cruz and Anne Nixon Ball of Pebble Beach.

The filing procedure is closed in the congressional race, but candidates can still back out until March 22. The winner between Arnold and Ball will have a pyrrhic victory since he or she will have to face incumbent Democrat Ieon Panetta in the general election on Nov. 2. Up until Friday there were two declared candidates in the Republican primary for the state Assembly: Santa Cruz attorney Jeff Bosshard and Pebble Beach artist James Peter Cost. The attorney dropped out in favor of the artist Friday and Cost, a political unknown, will face unchallenged Democratic incumbent Sam Farr in the general election.

Two municipal court judges, John Marlow and Richard McAdams can return to the bench for four years unopposed. with Sam Robustelli, an investigator with the district attorney's office appearing to have the best shot. Robustelli is well known in San Lorenzo Valley and has been campainging since last fall to get the top law enforcement job. Also running are Gladys Angel-Moran of Boulder Creek and county detention officer Walt Young. In the early 1970s Young was a short-term planning commissioner in Scotts Valley.

County Supervisors Gary Patton and Wayne Moore both have one challenger and will have to campaign for their jobs. Patton will face Kate Sears-Williams, a community worker who will collect the conservative vote in the Third (Seaside) District. Two other challengers tested the water, but did not file. Moore In the Fourth (Watsonville) District will face Mario Carabarin, a restaurant owner and former aide to County Supervisor Chris Matthews who was defeated by Moore and another establishment candidate in the primaries a couple of years back. Short of a miraculous tie vote, the supervisorial races and the race for county clerk (if no others sign up) will be settled in the June 8 primary.

VALLEY MEETINGS Elections will be held for the offices of sheriff, county superintendent of schools, county clerk, two supervisorial districts and the Repbulican primary for Congress. Only in the race for school superintendent does it appear the contest will go into a runoff in November. School Superintendent Richard Van Deren has three challengers: Bristow from Bonny Doon, a man who has run in earlier campaigns for educational office; David Weiss, a San Lorenzo Valley High School teacher who managed two campaigns for former Supervisor Ed Borovatz with a one win, one loss record, and Frank W. Cooper, an administrator with the Pajaro Valley Unified School district. A fifth candidate has dropped out of the race.
