EARLVILLE – Earlville residents go to the voting booth Tuesday to select among candidates for mayor, three trustees and a justice. Village voters will also determine the fate of a public referendum to extend term limits.
The elections will be held from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday in the Municipal Office, located at 8 North Main St. in Earlville.
There are two candidates for mayor: Incumbent Mayor Mark A. Doeberl, and newcomer Vito Bolognone.
Doeberl had been elected to a third, two-year term as village trustee in 2010 before being appointed last summer to mayor of the village. He is sales manager at Christman Motors in Norwich and has been a village resident for 24 years.
Bolognone has lived in the village for the past five years and is a self-employed design and construction professional. He said he has been directly responsible for more than 30 projects over the past 25 years that placed more than $350 million worth of construction in place.
Acting Village Justice Ronald Hailston, the incumbent, is unopposed on the ballot for the four-year term. Incumbent Trustees Henry R. Moore and Gerald L. Hayes are hoping to keep their positions. They are on the ballot for two, full-term positions. Newcomer Thomas Taylor is running to complete the one-year term trustee position vacancy left by Doeberl.
A notice of permissive referendum was filed for voters to extend term limits from two years to four years for the offices of mayor and trustee.

GREENE – Republican candidates for mayor and two trustee spots will face no opposition in Tuesday’s Village of Greene election.
The sole candidate for mayor will be incumbent Marcia E. Miller, who seeks her third term in office. Trustee Rod Andrews is also running unopposed to retain his seat for a third two-year term. Newcomer Phil Brown will seek his first term as village trustee. Brown, a lifelong resident of Greene, has served on the municipality’s zoning board for six years. He is also unopposed.
Brown, who is also unopposed, seeks to replace long-time Trustee Ron Williamson. After serving on the board for more than 15 years, Williamson has announced his intention to retire.
Miller called Williamson an “intricate” part of Greene’s leadership, and commended him for his service as deputy mayor and for his work with the village public works and electric department.
“Ron has seen the village through floods, ice storms, wind storms, power outages, fire at the building next door, electric, water and sewer upgrades, a new fire station, and many other events within the village,” she said.
Williamson’s last board meeting will be at 7 tonight. Miller encourages residents to attend the meeting, to show their appreciation for his “commitment and dedication” to the municipality.
Miller, Andrews and Brown will all appear on the ballot in the village election, to be held on Tuesday. Polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m. on that day in the board room at Village Hall, 49 Genesee Street in Greene.

NEW BERLIN – With Village of New Berlin Mayor Wade Schrag abandoning his write-in campaign due to health issues last week, there’s only one man left in the race – fellow write-in candidate Terry Potter.
“After much consideration, I have come to realize that I need to put my health and my family first. In an effort to allow myself to recover, and to be able to spend more quality time with my family, I am officially withdrawing myself from the re-election campaign,” Schrag said in an announcement last week.
A error on Schrag’s re-election petition and a belated decision to run for the office by Potter resulted in no official candidates appearing on the ballot for mayor tomorrow. Both men had launched write-in campaigns until Schrag withdrew his candidacy.
Potter’s name will be on the ballot, however – he’s running for his sixth term on the village board. He and fellow Trustee Michael Conroe are the only two candidates appearing on the ballot for the two open board seats. Voters will have to write-in Potter on the mayor’s line if they wish their votes to be counted toward that position. Marking his name under the trustee position alone is not the same as voting for him as mayor.
Votes can be cast at the New Berlin Village Office on South Main Street from noon to 9 p.m.

SHERBURNE – Village voters have a choice between incumbent Trustee Jack Staley or political newcomer and longtime community volunteer, Elena Casscles to fill a vacancy on the board of trustees.
Both candidates reside on Chenango Avenue, and among other projects, said they would like to see repairs made and sidewalks installed along the well-traveled but notoriously bumpy thoroughfare.
Casscles, who has been a village resident since 1973, has served on the Sherburne Earlville Board of Education for eight years, including six years as board president. She was a member of Rotary and the Village Fire Department for several years. In her professional life, Casscles was a training systems analyst providing tech support for 24 Victory Markets stores.
In addition to serving as trustee, Staley is a member of the town’s planning board. He is a veteran of the Vietnam War, a former policeman and worked as director for support services for the Southern Nevada Water Authority and the Las Vegas Valley Water District. A native of St. Louis, he moved to the village four years ago.
Voting takes place from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday in the town building, 1 Canal St.
