Voters went to the polls Monday to take part in the 2018 municipal elections throughout North Hastings and across the province. In Bancroft, Mayor Paul Jenkins was reelected along with Valerie Miles a new councillor in Bancroft's Ward 2. Andra Kaufeldt also officially joined the team after being acclaimed to council along with other members of the previous council – Wayne Wiggins, Charles Mullett, and Tracy and Barry McGibbon. Returning Mayor Paul Jenkins addressed the candidates saying, “I just want to say thank you to all the candidates and voters, especially the candidates as this wasn't an easy task. And I look forward to working with an excellent group of people.” New councillor to Bancroft Andra Kauffeldt said “I am looking forward to the next four years and working together to try and see Bancroft grow and prosper.” Returning council member Charles Mullett, “We have a wonderful new council that will work well together for the next four years for the people of Bancroft and Dungannon.” Hastings Highlands elected a new mayor, choosing Vic Bodnar who beat out former mayor Vivian Bloom and Joey Shulman. Tracy Hagar will now take over as deputy mayor for Gregg Roberts who previously held the position. Also joining Hastings Highlands council are newly elected Tony Fitzgerald and Tammy Davis. Councillors Alex Walder, Nancy Matheson and Dorothy Gerrow will also return to complete the new council moving forward. Once voted in, three of the returning council members wanted to thank the voters and share their thoughts on the years to come. Alex Walder explained that he was looking forward to working with the new council. “I'm of course pleased and honoured to be back on council but the big news is at the top. I look forward to working with Mayor Elect Vic Bodnar and Deputy Mayor Tracy Hagar. Returning Councillors Nancy Matheson and Dorothy Gerrow can be relied upon to continue their excellent representation of the people of Hastings Highlands. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to Tony Fitzgerald and Tammy Davis.” Dorothy Gerrow thanked the voters, “I want to say a heart feltthank you to the ratepayers for putting their trust in me. As far as some of my goals, I want to see the issues of the curbside and landfills addressed. We need to come up with a solid plan for the roads to get more roads repaired sooner and make them last longer. Another goal of mine are the finances. I don't want to see taxes going up and with some careful planning I am hopeful we can accomplish that. We also need to advocate to the higher levels of government for funding. We have a strong elected team and I'm looking forward to working with them.” The new Deputy Mayor Tracy Hagar was excited with the new council, “While it's sad to see a term come to an end, I'm excited for some new faces on the team and look forward to new and good things in Hastings Highlands.” Town of Bancroft Results Mayor Paul Jenkins 926 Elected Mary Kavanagh 627 Councillor Ward 1 Tracy McGibbon Acclaimed Wayne Wiggins Acclaimed Andra Kauffeldt Acclaimed Councillor Ward 2 Barry McGibbon Acclaimed Charles Mullet Acclaimed Val Miles 253 Elected Geord Eastman 234 William Wellwood 150 Hastings Highlands Results Mayor Vic A.
