“['m going to miss Linda,” she said. “She was a hard-working dedicated trustee. “Hopefully she'll run again.”

Krull was unavailable for comment.

In Area J, incumbent trustee George Anutooshkin of Ootischenia was re-elected.

Anutooshkin, seeking his fifth term on the board, defeated challenger Bert Rourke, also of Ootischenia, by 60 votes — 198 to 138.

“T'm really pleased with the support I had from our parents and I will

Anutooshkin, who was first elected to the board in 1977, said it was a tougher campaign this year, having been returned by acclamation in the last three elections.

“It was nice to have opposition because then a trustee gets to hear the concerns against him,” he said.

Rourke, said he was mainly disap- pointed by the poor voter turnout, which was about 30 per cent of eligible voters in Area J.

Incumbent ‘Avarey Moore was re- turned as mayor by an overwhelming mary in last night's Castlegar municipal election.

Moore trounced challenger Ald. Bob MacBain by some 600 votes and nearly a two-toone margin in: winning her fifth consecutive term.

Moore captured 1,250 of the 1,910 ballots cast or 65 per cent. MacBain managed only 660 votes or 35 per cent.

Moore led the voting from the start and had more than the necessary 50 per cent with one major pool still left to be counted. She won all six polls.

MacBain also said he doesn't have any “animosity” about the election.

“It was a clean campaign,” he said. “I congratulate the mayor . . . that’s what the people wanted.”

Rogers tops polls

By CasNews Staff

There will be two familiar faces and two new faces in the aldermen's chairs on Castlegar council.

Incumbents Albert Calderbank and Carl Henne easily won re-election in Saturday's municipal voting.

They will be joined by newcomers Terry Rogers and Nick Oglow.

Rogers in only his first time out topped the polls in the six-way race for three two-year terms. He gathered 1,360 votes — nearly 300 more than his nearest rival, Calderbank.

Calderbank captured 1,074 votes, followed by Henne with 993. The top three candidates were in a class by themselves.

The next nearest candidate was -

Michael Heard at 532 votes — some 460 votes back of Henne and more than 800 votes behind Rogers.

Walter Fields had 506 votes, followed by Gordon Ferguson with 393 votes.

Rogers won every poll but one — the advance poll, which went to Calder- bank.

“I feel really happy.” Rogers said last night when asked for his reaction on topping the polls.

He added’ that “a lot of faith and support has been shown” and he hopes to fulfill that faith.

He also said he’s looking forward to working with the new council.

“I think we've got a helluva t

Rogers noted that he ran a positive campaign throughout and “I want to work for a positive community and a positive future” for Castlegar.

Calderbank called the election campaign “one of the best I've been through,” adding, “There was no dirty work.”

He said it appears voters wanted to go with the incumbents, but said the

Calderbank replied: “I had no idea.” He * said with six candidates “anything can

happen.”

Meanwhile, Henne said he’s about the upcoming two years “because I still think there's a lot of work to be done.”

He added that Rogers and Oglow should be “a definite asset.”

Henne worked with both men on the Castlegar and District Hospital board and added, “I'm sure they'll fit right in and work like hell.”

Oglow will complete the one year left on Marilyn Mathieson’s term. He picked up the seat by dumping Patrick O'Connell 1,089 votes to 788. Oglow had 58 per cent of the vote.

Oglow congratulated O'Connell for conducting a good campaign and said, “[-would-have preferred to have him with me rather than running against me.
