Incumbents reign in village elections
CHENANGO COUNTY – Even though there was only a contest in one race during Tuesday’s elections, a number of voters turned out to support the candidates running for office in seven of the eight villages in Chenango County.
In Afton, the competition between incumbent Mayor Sally Muller and newcomer Solon “Stevie” Tsangaras ended in a victory for Muller. She was re-elected to the position by a vote margin of 74 to 20. Two incumbent trustees were also running for re-election. Girard Matthews received 82 votes and Michele Simonds got 66 votes. Village Justice Joseph Palumbo also ran unopposed. He took 87 votes.
Bainbridge voters cast 26 votes for Mayor Phillip Darling. Village Trustees Ola Tranvaag and Linda Noble received 25 and 26 votes respectively.
In Earlville, two village trustees ran for re-election. William Excell received 58 votes and Mark Doeberl took 59.
Elections in Greene included two open trustee positions and the post of village justice. Wayne Hartley and Morris Eccleston were unopposed candidates for the trustee spots. They took 27 and 26 votes, respectively. Dante Acunto was the sole candidate for village justice. He received 21 votes.
In New Berlin, there were two village trustee positions and a village justice position on the ballot. Robert Starr took 20 votes, earning him one seat, while Wade Schrag took the other with 28 votes. Maureen Perry received eight write-in votes for a trustee seat. No candidates stepped forward for the village justice position, after Mary Ann Ellis recently vacated the seat. The position remained on the ballot for write-in votes. Seven people cast write-in ballots for Ellis, but since she has declined the position, it will remain vacant until New Berlin Mayor Carol Riley appoints someone to fill it.
Sherburne had three trustee positions on the ballot and three candidates to fill them. Edward LaCorte and Stephen Dunshee were re-elected to their seats with 26 and 23 votes, respectively. Christopher Tomaselli, who was appointed to the position when Kenneth Van Wagner left office, was elected for the first time, with 27 votes. Village Justice Frank Faulkner was re-elected with 27 votes.
Charlie Edmonds was the only candidate on the ballot in the Village of Smyrna. Edmonds received 16 votes for village trustee.
