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. VOTERS VOTERS AK uz TWO.

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 tion).” said the (an elec JOHNSON incumbent Frank Fi AND TURNER WIN Partridge with 487 Partridge had SCHOOL SEATS “I don't know former police officer Dale Nielson with 241, Saturday night, other than “the electorate has spoken.” did vote for me, and worked so hard for me.” inney with 376 votes, businessman and retired businessman Stan votes. few comments when contacted what it was,” said the 50-year-old “I sure appreciate the people who WINNING SMILE . . .

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.

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.

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.

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 Time Air eyes more flights the frequency of its flights between Castlegar and Calgary, which could mean daily service on the Dash-7 Penthouse magazine before they were pulled The Book Shop also carries a line of — nee stock the really bed stuff on the market.” according to Pepofi. ‘Wednesday that Time Air is consider ing either having seven flights » week instead of six, or increasing the number on 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.
