New mayor, new village board

Mary Fontana was officially sworn into her new position as village mayor by Village Clerk Mary Casagrain at the start of the village’s annual organizational meeting Monday. The first appointment the new mayor made was to appoint Trustee Eric Shaheen as her deputy mayor. Deputy Mayor Shaheen succeeds Trustee Leon LeBlanc, who was always former Mayor Paul Maroun’s choice for his deputy. The deputy mayor presides over village meetings and matters, in the absence of the mayor. Surrounding the new mayor and the village clerk were Trustees Jason McClain, Eric Shaheen, David Maroun and Leon LeBlanc. This fall Trustees LeBlanc and Maroun were returned to another two-year term on the board in an uncontested election.
