Call Derek CallDerek.ca 905-877-8262 Derek Dunphy Sales Representative The new face on Town Council belongs to former Independent & Free Press photog- rapher Ted Brown who topped the polls in Ward 2 with 1,590 votes (36%) Councillor Bryan Lewis returns to his longstanding job representing the residents of the hamlets and rural area. He received 1,387 votes (32%). Philip Lewin came in third with 748 votes (17%) followed by Rob Boleychuk with 615 (14%). Brown was amazed to top the polls in the race."I am incredibly humbled because I am a rookie," said Brown, adding he was pleased the incumbents, including Lewis, were re-elected. "I feel that they have been a cohesive team-oriented council in the past and I look forward to being part of that." While campaigning, Brown said he heard, "repeated concern about the truck traffic on Five Sideroad originating from the quarry on Dublin Line." Rural road sur- facing and concerns from hamlet residents about new development projects in their area were other issues raised. Lewis said he was "very pleased that the people have shown their confidence in me not only for what I've done but for what I plan to do in the future." He also thanked retiring Ward 2 coun- cillor Joan Robson for her guidance over the years and the support she's shown him in this election. Lewis said expan- sion in the rural ar- eas-- whether it be in the 401 industrial corridor or the thou- sand-acre urban ex- pansion area-- was a key issue raised by residents in the ward, along with area specific concerns. Lewin said he had hoped to be the "squeaky wheel" on council and bring about change, such as implementing a more cre- ative approach to new subdivision develop- ment. "I would've like to have been elected. But regardless of the outcome of the election the journey itself is its own reward," said Lewin, adding he enjoyed knocking on doors and meeting people in the community. Political newcomer Boleychuk, who fin- ished last, expressed disappointment that his campaigning efforts didn't transpire into more votes. "I went literally door to door and I had a really good feeling," he said. "But Ted and Bryan won fair and square. It was an honest campaign with no mudslinging, which was really nice." Ward 2 Ted Brown is lone newcomer on council Ward results Continued from pg. 4 More on pg. 12 By LISA TALLYN & MELANIE HENNESSEY Both incumbents are back in Ward 3. Moya Johnson topped the polls with 2,383 votes (33%) followed by Dave Kentner with 2,294 votes (32%). Com- ing third was Josef Jones with 861 votes (12%), followed by Rob Demille, 763 votes (10%), Dave Sands, 669 (9%) and Syl Carle, 145 (2%). Johnson said she's "thrilled" to be re- elected. "I never take it (a win) for granted. I always know that anything could hap- pen so I'm prepared for the worst,"" she said. Growth of the town was a key issue Johnson heard while campaigning and constituents were asking about the ap- proved 20,000 population expansion for Georgetown. "It's really a difficult balance, we've slowed it as much as we can already," said Johnson. Kentner was "very pleased" with the outcome. "My team ran a great campaign for me. My heartfelt congratulations to Moya, I think we make a great team on Council," said Kentner. He also offered congratulations to the other candidates who ran. Jones, who said he congratulates Johnson and Kentner, was "both happy and disappointed" with the results. "I was happy I was able to get my mes- sage out to a really broad swath of peo- ple, unfortunately I didn't break through against the incumbents," said Jones. He said most people in the commu- nity really don't want change and believe keeping the current councillors will stop changes from coming. "But the case really is if they want to stop change from happening in their community they actually have to bring in some new representation," said Jones, who plans to run again. Demille said although he was disap- pointed to lose, "I think it was a great ex- perience. I'll be there next time around. I love politics, I love the town I live in." He said issues raised to him by resi- dents included growth, infrastructure and need for road improvements. Carle said the 2% of the vote he earned is "better than 1%." He said he didn't really expect to win because the incumbents have such "strong brand names." "But I wanted to present a different perspective, which I did," said Carle. He hopes to run for the position again. Sands could not be reached at press time. Ward 3 Johnson and Kentner are back By LISA TALLYN Staff Writer Incumbents in Ward 4 enjoyed a com- fortable lead Monday night with both in- cumbents re-elected. Longtime Councillor Bob Inglis topped the polls with 2,765 votes (38%) followed by Councillor Ann Lawlor, 2,433 votes (33%). Waldo Paquete received 1,385 votes (19%) while Noel Duignan gar- nered 606 votes (8%). Inglis said he's "delighted" with the re- sults. "I thank the residents of Ward 4 for their support and confidence in me, and my colleagues," said Inglis. "I look forward to taking their issues, concerns and ideas forward to Council, to continue making this the best place to live in the province." Lawlor is "thrilled" with the outcome, noting the re-election of all incumbents on council is an indication of "a very content community." "It's an affirmation that the direction council is going is a positive one," she said. "It's wonderful to be reaffirmed in your role as a town councillor." Paquete saw an increase in support since the last time he ran for office, he noted. "The residents of Ward 4 have made their decision," he said. "It's been an hon- our to run for council." He went on to thank his wife, Robin, and those who voted in his favour for showing their support and also extended well wishes to the elected council. Duignan, echoed Lawlor in that the re- sults indicate residents must be satisfied with the work of council. "Who am I to say they're wrong?" he said. "One thing I heard from people is that they want a change, but obviously not enough wanted it." Duignan said during his campaign he also heard concerns expressed by residents about development, roads and transit.
