William F. Glacken and his conservative republican team of trustees Renier Frierson and Don Miller, along with Village Justice V. Roy Cacciatore were sworn in tonight for a second term. All had big smiles as they took the oath.

New York State Supreme Court Judges Pat Collins, John DiNoto and Ralph Franco honored the village with their attendance at the swearing in ceremonies. Judge DiNoto administered the oath to Trustee Renier Frierson and Judge Collins administered the Oath to Mayor Glacken.

Mayor Glacken’s mother was beaming as her son was sworn in.

Village PR Director, Pat Murphy, did a fine job organizing the evening as the agenda and the appointments went without a glitch.

Francis Fineo was again sworn in as Acting Village Justice. The Mayor’s brothers-in-law, Harrison J. Edwards and Ray Straub were again appointed as Village Attorney and Research Assistant to the Board of Trustees, respectively. As expected, all the other appointments went to the village faithful.

The mood in the conference room was joyful as the winners and appointees mingled after the ceremonies were completed.

Pat Murphy made a copy of the evening’s appointments for the reporter from the Leader, asking your reporter if he could wait a few minutes for another copy, as she explained that she wanted to meet the Mayor’s mother.

The only low point of the evening, came after Murhpy obtained another copy of the appointments from the Village Clerk, Anna Knoeller and gave them to FNYN. Mob/Village Attorney Edwards lit into Murphy in his usual rude, discourteous and abrasive manner, berating her for giving out the appointment list, explaining that there were errors on the list. Murphy’s explanation that Knoeller had corrected the errors didn’t cool the abusive Edwards down, as he continued speaking to Murphy like she was a piece of dirt.
