Candidates

for the Post 4 seat on the Brooks Town Council will face the public tonight

in a question-and-answer session at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall.

The gathering

precedes the Town Council meeting, set for 7:30.

Two citizens

have qualified for the election , which will be at the Brooks United Methodist

Church Tuesday, March 20, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Lewis Harper,

deputy chief of police for College Park, has lived in Brooks for 11 years.

He had served on the last land use committee and is currently on the town

Water Committee.

He and his

wife, Jane, have two grown sons.

"I believe

in being involved," he said, "in my community. I was reared

in the Fife community, Fairburn, and have been in municipal government

for 28 years. I have a good feel for the work of a councilman and I feel

quite qualified for the post."

Frances V.

Bauer, along with her husband, Jon Ramsden and 12 year old daughter, Michelle

Ramsden, have also lived in Brooks for 11 years.

She was born

in Hampton and reared in Woodbury, where her father served on the Town

Council.

She is a graduate

from the University of Georgia with a bachelor of arts degree and began

her career as an air traffic control specialist in Hampton. She resigned

that position in 1995.

"I am

very interested in maintaining the special qualities of life we all enjoy

here in Brooks," she said. "I love our small town atmosphere,

rural setting and non-commercialism. I want to ensure that our community

is shaped to preserve all of the things that make our town desirable to

our residents and their families."
