Mayor Frances Smith will keep her seat as mayor, since she has been acclaimed, as will Bill MacDonald in the Oso District (Ward 3), but the races for the Olden District (Ward 2) — with three people challenging incumbent Coun. Victor Heese — and for the Hinchinbrooke District (Ward 4), which has no incumbent, have been heating up. All in all, Central Frontenac may possibly see four new councillors come Oct. 22, which could be quite a shakeup for a council of eight people.
