Jock gains top spot in^Saranac Lake elections ByTOMOCONNELL Staff Writer Sara-Placid Bureau SARANAC LAKE - Newly elected Mayor Timothy Jock said all along during the campaign that U was \time for a change\ but even he admitted after the results were in that he was more than a little sur- prised about the defeat of two term Republican incumbent «ffiarTes Keough. Jock's $77 to«W vote victory over Keough in Tuesday's election was the only major surprise but some eyebrows were raised by the im- pressive margin of victory by William Woodruff in the village justice race and the relatively strong showing of the two can- didates for trustee who fell short in their bids for a spot on the board. \We worked very hard and I guess it paid off,\ said the new mayor at the town hall Tuesday evening after hearing the results. With his wife, Mary, at the an- nouncement of the winners, Jock said he was-surprised about his vic- tory over Keough but the rest of the election went pretty close to what he had anticipated. The new mayor will take over on April 2 at the first board meeting of the year and will be joining a board of three Democrats and the lone Republican winner on Tuesday, John Pickreign. Trustee Bill McLaughlin topped all trustee vote getters with 709 tallies under the Democratic banner. Pickreign followed with 660 votes to secure the two posts on the board that were up for grabs this year. The two hopefuls who didn't quite make it, Democrat David Seymour and Republican Gerald Branch, both did much better than most peo- ple could have foreseen. For both of the candidates it was the first try at politics and the totals of 587 votes for Seymour and 553 for Branch were impressive. The remaining slot on the ticket, that of village justice, went handily to William Woodruff, who garnered $56 votes to 325 for Republican Lee Haig. Woodruff has held the post since his appointment last fall to complete the unexpired term of Karl Griebsch, who resigned. Keough philosophical in defeat The deposed mayor took the unex- pected defeat in stride saying Wednesday that such is the nature of the political process. \I sensed that with some of the decisions I was making where I was required to cast the deciding vote (the mayor votes only to break a tie in the village) some of the blame for un- popular acts was going to accrue to me,\ said Keough. He cited specifically several village ordinances that have been in the process of revision in recent months, the long debated sign or- dinance being the most noteworthy. \I probably offended some people by being a strong supporter of the downtown rehabilitation programs and many others took exception about the proposed shopping mall,\ he continued. Keough added that apathy, or perhaps over-confidence, might have contributed to the result Tues- day. \Some folks might have thought I was a shoe in,\ continued Keough. \The turnout thi& year was not that good (approximately 1,300 votes for mayor). In past years I have seen as many-wrfn.800 ballots cast in years when the mayor's seat was at stake.\ Calling his time as mayor and past political service in the village over nearly a thirty-year period, a great honor and privilege, the popular Saranac Lake native gave no hint to any future plans of his own. \I have always felt I had an obligation to serve in public life, a sentiment that probably comes from my father who was active politically,\ said Keough. Saying that now was a time for some of the younger folks to get a crack at running the show, he wish- ed his successor the best of luck in coming years. \Tim has served as a trustee and he has experience. He knows that it is not an easy job.\ Awaiting the results At Republican headquarters Tuesday can All three fell short in their bids in the dfdates Gerald .Branch, Charles Keough balloting.

Molly Murray reported that the Involunteers have donated over $28,000 to the hospital from the pro- fits of the gift shop since\ its incep- tion. Marilyn Eighmey, director of volunteers, said the Involunteers give an average of 8000 hours per year and altogether have worked 87,200 hours for the hospital. Jack Murphy, hospital ad- ministrator, joined in the thanks and praises and said the equipment the auxiliary pays for makes it possible to give better special care for the patients. Kathleen Carey, R.N. of the ex- tensive care unit, demonstrated the cardiac output computer which is a help in diagnosis and treat- ment, she said. The meeting attended by about 40 members and guests, was •ended by gathering around the festive table, with flower ar- rangements, cookies and punch. Thursday, March 22,1979 17 on tact manager BPW guest speaker SARANAC LAKE— The program \Contact\ was the topic of the talk by Gary LeFebvre of the North Country Center of Gerontology at NCCC during the meeting of the Adirondack Business and Profes- sional Women's Club. The session was held at the Hillside Motel at Will Roger's recently. \Contact\ is the name of the audio cassette reading program which is offered free of charge to elderly handicapped people who would enjoy listening to recorded material. Originally LeFebvre made recor- dings for his blind father and loaned the tapes to other handicap- ped friends. When he saw the amount of pleasure they derived from the tapes, he realized the need for this type of program and approached the Center of Geron- tology with the idea. The project \Contact of which he is the manager, is now helping improve the quality of life for eight Visually and physically handicap- ped elderly people in the area. The response to \Contact\ has been so positive that a volunteer reader program has been in- stituted. There is a need for many types of volunteers for work such as filing, making duplicate tapes and delivering cassettes. Six readers will be making recordings of material on a wide variety of subjects so that the pro- gram can expand its outreach to include many more eligible per- sons. __ A new soundproof recording studio will soon be finished at NCCC Learning Resource Center which will provide a much needed facility to record quality materials in the proper environment.
