URAL GETS SEAT BACK--RIZZI SALUTES MILLS: Dr. Erdem Ural, an explosives expert by profession, exploded back on the education scene in the April 10th election, knocking off 21-year School Committee veteran Allan Mills for a seat on the School Committee by 120 votes. Ural had served a previous term (2008-2011) and was defeated in last year's election.

Mills thanked the voters "for a good run of 21 years." He told About Town: "We accomplished a lot. This current Board is one of the best I've served on.

SCHOOL RACE TAKES FORM: There's a race brewing for School Committee in the April 2012 elections. Incumbent Allan Mills is facing former School Committee member Dr. Erdem Ural. Ural was named to the Finance Committee recently by Moderator Howard Hansen. If elected, Dr. Ural would have to resign from the Finance Committee.
