Norwood's Beeker defeats 3 for Mayor

By Dexter Hinson, Staff Writer

Thursday, November 5, 2009 With 55.20 percent (239 of the 433 votes cast), Harry M. Beeker will be the new mayor of Norwood.

“I”m very humbled about how the election came out,” said Beeker, who beat out three other opponents for the position.

Harold Thompson received 26.10 percent or 113 votes; Edward Franklin (Frankie) Capel received received 13.39 percent or 58 votes; Earl Mahone received 5.08 percent or 22 votes, and there was one vote in the write-in category.

Having served previously on the Norwood Town Council as a commissioner for four terms spanning the 1970s and 1980s, including one as mayor pro tem, Beeker hopes to bring his experience to the table as his term begins.

“I look forward to working with the council in making our little section of the county a better place to live,” Beeker said.

Returning to the Norwood town council as commissioners will be mayor pro tem James L. Lilly, who received 42.52 percent, or 321 of the 755 votes cast, and Henry L. “Buster” Thompson, who received 32.45 percent, or 245 of the 755 votes cast. They beat out James Jeffrey Irvin, who received 23.44 percent, or 177 votes. In the write-in category, 1.59 percent, or 12 votes, were cast.
