Asked about Kendall's role as a spoiler in the race, he said the Liberal's campaign “probably misled a number of people into supporting him.” “The most generous thing I can say about him is that he was very foolish and very naive,” the NDP candidate said. , He said he was “reasonably satisfied” wit! NDP gains elsewhere in B.C., although -the party “got caught in the middle of what often turns out to be sort of a horse race between the. two leading contenders.” Asked whether he would conduct his campaign any differently if given the chance to repeat the race, he said the only change “if I could have found a source of income, would have been to campaign fulltime for a year-and-a-half instead of part-time.” WITHIN TWO YEARS Although he pointed out he did not seek the NDP nomination in the election, Kristiansen said he would “probably make myself available” in the next three to four months for the nomination in the election which he expects within two years. “I suspect we'll be choosing a nominee within that period,” he said. “That's up to the party within the constituency." Kendall, also contacted late Tuesday, indicated he too would be willing to let his name stand again in the next election. Although falling 2.4 per cent short of the 15-per-cent vote which under the Election Act would have entitled the Liberal constituency association to a refund of about $9,000 in campaign costs, the 33-year-old Ymir tree planter told the Castlegar News “I've already told these people ['ll run again.” “Some people are supportive of me and those who know me are quite enthusiastic about getting me in there as their rep ive,” h “People like a change and the Liberals have been in government for a long time,” Kendall said. “Brisco’s done the basic MP work in this riding very well. He's done it like no-one ever did before and in many ways he deserved to win.” é “T expected to make more gains in the NDP faction but they're really strong,” he continued. “They were feeling very enthusiastic after ‘the provincial election and this time they were able under the Elections Act to run a really strong federal campaign. The anti-Liberal feeling really cut me and a lot of the old-time Liberals probably decided that they just had to keep the NDP out after such a strong provincial sweep.” - Assessing his campaign, he said he was satisfied with his positions on election issues, but should have devoted more of his campaign — which covered small communities throughout the riding — to the larger population centres. Early returns showed Kristiansen to be leading by a small margin, and at one point was prematurely declared elected by several news vided in a nearby schoo! area and’ railway. crossing --. on- planning for the area.

Clark's slim win in-. creases odds of another of the’ customary ‘four-year, parliamentary term, particu- larly if he sticks to a pledge to follow through with ‘pre- mised programs and make election well before the end” of Clark's victory remained in doubt. While Trudeau drew more votes than his chal lenger. across the country, split with him in the Atlantic region and awept Quebec as expected, Clark's Conser- vatives won almost twice as many seats as Trudeau in the plvotal province of On- tario and all but buried the last of the Prairle Liberals. no comp i The election was a cliff. hanger from, the day it was éalled to the counting of the last ballots.on the West Coast. . + Before the final few polling .stations closed in northern British Columbia and the Yukon, the measure “There have been numer- ous times when bylaws have come before council. and not, been discussed at second read- ing,” he said, citing as an exam- ple the 1979 budget which was given limited discussion before council gave it three readings earlier this month. ‘West Kootenay Power Wants Higher Rates Citing the rising cost of providing electric'service, West Kootenay Power has applied to the British Columbia Energy Commission for permission to increase its rates to its cus- tomers. Company executive. vice- president Joe Drennan said the company is seeking an imme- diate interim increase. interim would be approximate- ly half the total requested increase. Drennan said the interim would increase the average residential customer's bill $2.08 to $15.96 per month, based on consumption of 1,000 kWh. This works out to seven cents per day. If the full increase is granted, the average bill would $17 per month, “The same 1,000 kWh costs aresidential customer $92.51 in Vancouver, $42.59 in Calgary, $27.26 in Saskatoon and $33.82 in Winnipeg,” Drennan said. This is\ West Kootenay Power's first application ‘for a general ‘rate increase since 1976. The Energy Commission is expected to issue an order soon, establishing the time and place for public hearings. In its application, the com: pany said cost increases in delivery of electric power, plus high interest rates, make the rate increase necessary. West Kootenay .

The lead changed at approxii 9 p-m, and Brisco maintained that lead for the remainder of the evening. Kristiansen’s strongest areas were the rural areas between Nelson and Castlegar plus the Slocan Valley. i Kendall won two hospital polls and rural Rossland. Phare-Smith, a 32-year-old Nelson house- wife, received one or two votes in a majority of the polls. G. There were 38,441 registered voters in the riding this election compared to 42,245 in 1974. Since then the riding has been reduced in size with the loss of Creston reducing the number of voters. - In 1974 Bob Brisco won with 41 per cent of the vote. Ran Harding of the New Democratic Party was a close second with 38 per cent. Louis Maglio, the Liberal candidate, polled 20 per cent. In Tuesday’ election, Kristiansen tallied 40 per cent of the vote while Kendall received 13 per cent. About 75 per cent of eligible voters turned out at the polls in this election compared with 71 per cent in 1974, Brisco is the third government MP to represent Kootenay West since it was said. : ‘ANTI-TRUDEAU FEELING® F He identified “anti-Trudeau feeling” as the main reason for his failure to draw strong support. iD blished in 1917.
