GEOLOGIST ENTERS 13TH DISTRICT RACE

Kathy Wiltenmuth, past president of the Military Road Alliance homeowners association near Slidell, recently announced her candidacy for the 13th District seat on the St. Tammany Parish Police Jury.

Other candidates for the seat in the Oct. 21 primary include incumbent Gary Rinck and parish Planning and Zoning Commission member Gene Bellisario.

Wiltenmuth said the first problem she wants to tackle is improving drainage. She said her experience as a geologist qualifies her to deal with the technical aspects of water runoff. "It seems like a geologist is better equipped to do it than an accountant," she said, in reference to Rinck's profession.

She also said that people in her district, which includes the Military Road and Eden Isles areas, need better representation. "I feel people can trust me. I'm not doing this to benefit me. I'm doing this for the right reason, to benefit the community."

Wiltenmuth is the immediate past president of the alliance, which represents 4,500 homeowners in 12 subdivisions. She also was secretary of the organization in 1993 and is a member of the group's education committee.

She received a bachelor's degree in geology from the University of New Orleans and a master's in geology from Tulane University. She is also working on a master's in biology from Southeastern Louisiana University, she said.

Wiltenmuth, who is married and has two children, is a member of the Greater Slidell Area Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau, the Society of Wetland Scientists, and the Slidell Women's Republican Club.

She was born in New Orleans and moved to Slidell in 1986.

Contestants who are 13 and younger will make a garment of 100 percent cotton fabric.

Contestants 14 and older as of will make an outfit of 100 percent cotton fabric.

Lining, interfacing and trims may be of other suitable materials, contest organizer Ruth Langford said.

Garments will be judged on construction during the first segment of the contest and on fit and appearance during the second segment.

The second portion of the contest is a Sew With Cotton Fashion Revue, which will be held Oct. 6 at noon on the St. Tammany Parish Fair stage. All garments must be modeled by their makers.
