SHERBURNE – There are now two candidates running to fill an open seat on the Village of Sherburne Board, not just one.

Elena Casscles took out a petition for village trustee on Dec. 28 when they first became available, and has been planning to run for the post ever since being defeated in last March’s board elections.

Casscles said she was surprised the village office hadn’t contributed that fact for a previous article announcing the March 15th election date and Trustee Jack Staley’s candidacy.

Village Mayor William Acee appointed Staley to fill the unexpired term of Village Trustee Stephen M. Dunshee, who left office last June. Staley had initially told The Evening Sun that he would not be running, but called just before press time to change his stance.

The village office reported that Staley took out a petition on Jan. 11.
