Clarendon voters have more than one choice for town supervisor
Editor:
My name is Kathy Harnischfeger. I am running for Clarendon Town Supervisor as a write-in candidate. I am a moderate Democrat who believes in the 2nd amendment. While this may deter some of our residents, what is important to know is that the position of Town Supervisor holds no more power than the Town Board members.
I decided to run as a write-in candidate after the primary election results because I felt that our community needed another choice. The Town of Clarendon has faced some serious issues the last 9 months which has unfortunately divided our community in a big way.
I want to help the community heal and move forward by serving every Clarendon resident. I have been to too many board meetings to count over the years. I have worked with our Town Board to try to improve Clarendon’s standard of living, so every resident can live happily in peace and harmony with their neighbor.
I have studied the town law book and continue to do so. I believe the leader of a community should hold honor, integrity and most importantly, have the taxpayers’ best interests at heart.
This is an important position. This shouldn’t be a personal race. This shouldn’t be a popularity contest. This should be about who is the best person to lead the town, and who can best represent every resident in the community, regardless of who they support.
Ultimately, my goal is to bring everyone together and move forward in a positive direction. This is not a partisan race for me, I simply want to serve the community I have called home for 20 years.
I have asked the other candidate to join me on October 16 starting at 6 p.m., at the Clarendon Town Hall for a Community Q&A session. This will be the opportunity to get to know me as a person, what I stand for, and what my goals are for the community of Clarendon.
Enough is enough! It is time we move Clarendon forward together as a community by creating a more unified environment for all that call Clarendon their home. I am so excited to meet everyone!
Clarendon, you still have a choice!
Sincerely,
Kathy Harnischfeger

She is now retired as an art professor from SUNY Brockport and the University of Rochester. She taught photo and design classes to Muscarella when she was a student at Brockport.
Gussow appreciates the variety of art displayed at the Marti’s gallery.
“Usually art galleries are sterile, but this is anything but that,” Gussow said. “Kim’s network of artists has really grown.”
Jennifer Hecker is shown with one of her flame-warped glass sculptures. Her works have water themes. She is beginning her 38th year as a professor at Brockport.
She welcomed the chance to show 12 of her works at Marti’s.
