Residents of Cedar Hill got an up close look at nearly all of the candidates running for seats on the city council and school board as the Kingswood Homeowners Association hosted its ninth annual forum April 19.
Seven candidates running for mayor and the city council spoke at the function, along with three candidates running for seats on the Cedar Hill School Board.
Most of the candidates voiced agreement on the issues and had a cordial discussion. Write-in candidate for mayor Phillip Bielamowicz challenged the status quo in his opening remarks, as did former school board member James Charles, who is trying to regain a seat on the board by challenging Place 1 incumbent Terrel Nemons.

CEDAR HILL – Despite initial funding shortfalls, the Rotary Club of Cedar Hill pedaled forward and is ready to host the group’s first-ever bike rally.
Head for the Hills has 21-, 41- and 64-mile courses. All start and end at Cedar Hill High School. Participants can register online early or at 6 a.m. May 12, the day of the event.
It’s a route that riders will enjoy, said committee chair Judy Pluto, a 30-year cyclist who helped plan the routes.
Ms. Pluto said that projected rider totals aren’t concrete but that the group is preparing for 750 to 1,000 riders, more than half of whom are expected to sign up on rally day.
“We will not look like a first-year bike rally,” she said. Read more

Kingswood has been hosting candidate forums for nine years, but this year the High Pointe Public Improvement District got into the act with a well-attended event held April 23 at High Pointe Baptist Church.
Every candidate on the ballot for the May 12 city and school board elections and one write-in candidate for mayor lined up to talk a little bit about themselves and answer moderated questions as well as a few from the audience.
After candidates introduced themselves and spoke for a few minutes, moderator Michael Quildon asked each one a couple of different questions each and invited the audience to ask their own.
Amy Allen, running unopposed for the Place 2 seat on the Cedar Hill School District board of trustees, said the biggest challenge facing new Superintendent Harold Williams is the drive to transform the district into a world-class body. Read more
