Volunteers helped air candidate debates

SPARTA - The League of Women Voters sponsored a debate among the candidates for Sparta’s open town council seat, Tuesday, Nov. 2. The debate was videotaped with the help of Bryan Ehlers and Kevin O’Brian, two Sparta High School students who volunteered to assist. It was televised the following Monday and on Tuesday, Nov. 8 — Election Day. The League of Women Voters requested a local web broadcaster’s assistance in bringing the debate to a wider public audience. The broadcaster, ME3TV.com, which accepts volunteer productions that benefit the community, donated its services. The debate was also broadcast Monday and Tuesday by SECTV.
