In addition, Jim Pivnichny is an uncontested candidate in the Republican primary. Their online presences are listed below--Don't miss these personal blogs by Plainfielders, each with a point of view: Rebecca Williams' Confessions of a Bathrobe Blogger; Milani Hernandez' PEPTalk: A PPS pupil's perspective, tackles the testing monster!; Jackie Schnoop's The (TV) Show Must Go On, notes American Idol finale rocks; and Dottie Gutenkauf's Dottie G Sez.
