Briscoe says yes in Admaston-Bromley Steve Newman, John Carter steve.newman@metroland.com
News – Waiting until the last day to enter the municipal race, Raye-Anne Briscoe has decided she’s healthy enough for another four-year term. Four years ago she defeated former councillor Jack Kelly to remain Admaston-Bromley mayor, as she has been since 2000. This time she’ll have to defeat Kelly again and current councillor Michael Donohue. She decided to run after getting the green light from her orthopedic surgeon, following recent left-knee replacement surgery. “Blood is blood,” said Briscoe of her zest for politics, after filing her nomination papers Friday, Sept. 12, shortly before the 2 p.m. deadline. Briscoe, 73, said she wouldn’t run again unless she knew she’d recover physically and mentally from the surgery. “I feel confident that I made the right decision,” she said. She indicated her mobility
will soon be regained and that she remains mentally sharp, and therefore ready to lead council again. Admaston-Bromley voters will also have to vote for four councillors. There will be no acclamation for the four positions of councillor, since incumbent Dirk Rook filed last Friday to make it a five-man race. The other candidates are incumbent Robert Dick, Bob Hall, Kevin LeGris and Mike Quilty. MCNAB-BRAESIDE
In McNab-Braeside, two more candidates filed on deadline day. Brian Armsden becomes the fourth candidate for deputy mayor, joining incumbent Christine Blimkie (Sauve), Coun. Brad McIlquham and Len Chapeski in the race. Mark MacKenzie is the fifth candidate in the contest for three councillor positions. See MCNAB-BRAESIDE, page 3
