News – Residents of Carleton Place voted for change in their council on Monday night, Oct. 27. Current councillor Louis Antonakos is now the municipality’s mayor-elect, having ousted incumbent Wendy LeBlanc by 1,903 votes to 1,641, in one of Lanark County’s most closely watched races. Speaking to supporters gathered at the Carleton Heritage Boutique Hotel, Antonakos thanked his wife Melanie Woods, family, friends and team mem-

bers for their backing, and said it had been an amazing few months on the campaign trail. “My heart is warm with the reception I’ve received from you,” he said. Antonakos is ready and eager to get back to work around the council table, “to take care of the things that are important to all of us.” “The community is going to move forward,” he added. “It hasn’t sunk in yet,” Woods said of her husband’s win; however, she was extremely touched by the outstanding show of support. Antonakos took 16 of the

town’s 27 polls. Speaking to the media, LeBlanc said she was proud of her many accomplishments as mayor over the last four years. “I’ve enjoyed working for the town, for the community,” she said, “and I really appreciate everyone who supported me.” LeBlanc, who is still mayor for more than a month, is looking forward to spending time with her family, including new granddaughter Alice and friends, and she will continue to volunteer with the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum, See CP ELECTION page A/CP2

News – Shaun McLaughlin is the new mayor-elect in Mississippi Mills as residents voted for a change in leadership on Oct. 27. McLaughlin defeated incumbent mayor John Levi by 61 votes, winning the election with 2,033 votes to Levi’s 1,972; current councillor Garry Dalgity was a distant third with 1,320 votes. There were 10,110 eligible voters in Mississippi Mills and 53 per cent (5,361) of those vot-

ers turned out. During the last municipal election in 2010, approximately 54 per cent of voters exercised their right to vote. McLaughlin compared the election campaign to a long job interview. “I felt relieved after five months of working on it. I started this campaign in May,” McLaughlin told the Canadian Gazette. “I feel somewhat intimidated, I guess by the jobs ahead. My biggest job will be living up to expectations.” McLaughlin says that his first order of business will be to speak

with all of the elected councillors one-on-one to try and “build up a consensus right from the beginning on how council is going to work and how we are going to work together,” he said. “How best to make us all work together and bring the best out of each one of us.” McLaughlin is also planning on holding brainstorming sessions with the new council. “More or less to get everyone on the same path right from the beginning, avoid any kind of See MM ELECTION page A/CP2
