MATHIESON TOPS POLL

Three aldermen
easily re-elected

By RON NORMAN
Edi

Last night's Castlegar municipal
election belonged to the three incum
bents as they easily retained their
two-year aldermanic seats.

Marilyn Mathieson, 44, topped the
poll with 970 votes in her first real test.
Mathieson won by acelamation two
years ago in her first try for a position
on @@uncil.

Westar Timber sawyer Bob Pakula,
49, wasn't far behind Mathieson. He
polled 907 votes — just 63 fewer than
the leader — to win his second term on
council.

Itt was also Pakula’s first real
challenge because he too was elected
by acclamation two years ago.

Veteran alderman Len Embree, 45,
was elected to a fifth term, getting 760
votes. That was 147 back of Pakula, but
more than 200 better than challenger
Michael Heard.

Heard, 48, was making his first run
for a seat on council and ended up with
548 votes — 212 behind Embree.

Heard initially looked like he might
give Embree a run for the position
the first three polls were posted
ng office in the Commun

ity Complex’ hall last night.

In the courtesy, advance and mobile
polis, Embree had a slim seven-vote
lead over Heard — 67 votes to 60.
However, after the two main polls
were counted Embree had stretched
that lead to a couple of hundred votes.

Voter turnout was up slightly from
last year — 30.8 per cent compared to
26 per cent. A total of 1,282 of the 4,162
eligible voters made it to the polls.

Meanwhile, Mathieson says she was
“very happy” to top the polls.

“The last time I went in by
acclamation and it's really nice to know
you went in on a vote,” she said.

She said a friend told her she'd top
the polls, but Mathieson didn't believe
it.

Mathieson promised to “do the best
that [ can for Castlegar.”

“We must be doing something right,”
was Pakula's response. He also added:
“I'm going to continue on with what I
said and accomplish as much as I can
for the city and its people.”

Embree said he was hoping for a

better voter turnout, but
result was “predictable”

He added that there was a concerted
effort this year to take a “run” at him,
but he managed to weather it

Embree said the highway inter
change and the industrial park will
continue to be his priorities.

Meanwhile, Heard, 48, was philoso
phical about his defeat. Quoting former
prime minister Pierre Trudeau, Heard
said: “No doubt the universe will
continue to unfold as it should.”

He said his 548 votes was “a pretty
good showing” for his first time out,
and said he thought he took some votes
from Embree.

“We've far outstripped our expecta
tions,” he said, adding: “If I hadn't run
there wouldn't have been

Penthouse issue pulled

By CHERYL CALDERBANK
Staff Writer

Copies of the December issue of
Penthouse magazine have been pulled
from magazine racks in Castlegar after
certain photographs sparked com
plaints about the issue from across the
country

Gus Conacher of Conacher News
Ltd., which distributes magazines
throughout most of the West Koot
enay, said he took back copies of the
magazine because of the controversy
over the photos.

I want no controversy at all with
it,” Conacher said in an interview

The magazine included a photo
essay by Japanese photographer Akira
Ishigaki, that showed rope-bound Ori
ental women strung up in trees

But Conacher says that the photo
graphs already appeared in a French
magazine six months ago which was
distributed across Canada and “nobody
said a thing.”

In fact, two of the photographs
appeared in the March issue of Photo
Magazine, a French photography per
iodical

Complaints about the photographs
resulted in police in Edmonton, Regina,
Ottawa, Waterloo, Halifax and Toronto
seizing copies of the magazine and
either laying or considering laying
charges.

In Vancouver, police this week re-
ceived instructions from Crown counsel
to begin a search in order to start court
action over the magazine’s contents.

In Castlegar, RCMP Staff Sgt. John

Stevens said no action will be taken. He
said the distributor recalled all copies
of the magazine.

He added that the detachment has
received no complaints about the issue.

Stevens said Canada Customs was in
charge of seizing the magazine issues.

Meanwhile, Dennis Johnson, owner/
manager of Valley Maid Foods figures
he sold between 10 and 15 copies of the
magazine before they were taken off
the shelves.

Johnson says Penthouse is the
number one seller among “skin maga
zines.” He estimates he sells about 100
copies of the magazine a month.

Valley Maid also carries a host of
other “skin magazines” such as Play
boy and Hustler.

“Without these, a person would lose
half of the sales.” Johnston said.
“That's the only reason we carry
them.”

Albert Calderbank, owner of Caldset
Groceteria, noted that the December
Penthouse issue was pulled off the
shelves almost before he got it in.

“They (the distributor) came in be-
fore we had a chance to do anything,”
Calderbank said.

“They weren't running any risks of
legal suits,” he said.

Calderbank said he didn’t think he
sold any copies of the magazine.

store has had no requests for the

she said. She estimated Mohawk sold
about three of the issues before they
were removed.

Mohawk stocks about 30 Penthouse
issues per month.

“It sure goes,” the employee noted

The store also carries a number of
the same type of magazines.

“There's a whole mess of them,” she
said. “I don’t even know all the names.

Topping the school board polls with 645 votes, an
overjoyed Kay Johnson declared Saturday night that her
election as a trustee is a clear mandate for change

“Tm really encouraged by the message the voters
have given to the school board,” said the 38-year-old
trustee-elect minutes after learning of her success in
landing one of two city positions.

“It shows people in Castlegar want some changes to
the school board.”

Johnson a housewife, said her immediate priorites
inelude familiarizing herself with school district finances,
and talking with other board members about restructur.
ing meetings “so that they become more public.”

Elected to the other city trustee vacancy is Gordon
Turner, a Selkirk College instructor, with 567 votes.

“Tm quite elated actually,” said Turner, 40, on
Saturday night. “I think it's a victory, and a vietory for
parental involvement in education.”

Turner said his plans are to keep half-day
kindergartens in the district, pursue the extension of the
Russian kindergarten immersion program into Grade 1,
lobby against further “mainstreaming” of special needs
children now at Silver Birch School, and to attempt to
retain existing program, teachers and support staff as
much as possible.

Unsuccessful included former

board candidates

Incumbent Frank Finney said he wasn't disappointed
with his loss.

“I think we've got two good people who will
represent parents and kids in the district,” he said of
Johnson and Turner.

“They'll serve on the board well,” he added.

He said he also wondered if, by not voting for him,
the public was giving the board a direction to be “more
open, to be less secretive and consider the views of
parents more.”

“If it is the message, I hope the board listens to it
very carefully,” he added

Dale Nielson, who placed last in the polls, counted it
a good experience, running in the election.

“I'm happy I did it and I may do it again sometime,”
he said.

In Regional District of Central Kootenay elections, Iris
Bakken topped ineumbent Dorothy Kinakin in Area G
(Ymir-Salmo) by only six votes

Bakken had 144 votes, while Kinakin collected 138
votes. Because of the close race, there may be a recount
next wee!

In Area H (Slocan Valley) Peter Duck took the seat
with 626 votes, compared to Ted Fitehett who had 415.
The seat was held by Corky Evans.

In Area K (Nakusp) Bill Cuthill was elected to the
RDCK with 133 votes. He defeated Ken Marshall, who
had 74 votes. The seat was previously held by Henry
Murphy.

She admits that Penth is one of
the more popular magazines. Citing
Popular Mechanics as an example, she
said, “We never get 25 of those in.”

Erica Selent, a pharmacist at
Pharmasave Drugs, said the store only
had two copies of the magazine, and
they were returned.

“They (the photos) were terrible.
she said, recalling the photos, some of
whicli she said showed women tied
with two-inch ropes around them.

“We don't stock many (magazines
like that,” she said. “We are trying to

But representatives of the srea
councils and the chambers complained

that Time Air only offers a single
excursion fare, whereas Pacific West-
ern Airlines has three different dis-
count rates on its Castlegar to Van
couver route.

PWA offered three excursion fares
on the Castlegar to Calgary run until
Sept. 30, when it turned the route over
to Time Air.

PWA's excursion fare was $125

one week in advance and passengers
stayed over Saturday; and $91 return if
booked two weeks ahead and passen

Time Air's only excursion rate is

$124.50 for passengers who book
reservations a minimum of four days in
advance.

Dwight Jensen. director of market
ing and public relations for Time Air,
explained that during the summer the
Canadian Transport Commission al
tered the rules for excursion fares.
Shortly after that, Jensen said PWA
“significantly” changed its fare struc
