Elections 2011 By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Ron Vanselow isn't waiting until Jan. 1 to get involved as Johnsburg's new town supervisor. The morning after the elections, he was down at town hall scoping out space for his new office. “It's certainly a humbling experience, and all the times I've been put in of fice it's been an honor to serve,” he said. “I hope I can meet the voters positive expectations.” Vanselow ended the election with a sizable lead of 422 votes over Chuck Martin, who tallied 178, accor ding to unofficial results. In meet the candidate forums prior to election day , Vanselow said he wanted the supervisor's o ffice t o m ove closer to the town hall entrance, so he can be r eadily available to hear the voices of his constituents. “It's important that I be front and center when I'm not busy with other things, like county meetings,” he said. Vanselow said he plans to meet with Highway Superintendent Dan Hitchcock, who was r eaffirmed in an uncontested race, later in the day to talk about a town road plan for the future. Saratoga & North Creek Railway Conductor Steve Conklin assists children as they board a passenger dome car Nov. 3 at the Saratoga Rail Station Building r epairs will be prioritized, said V anselow, to celebrate the debut of the railway’s holiday Polar Express excursion trips.
