’MacFarlane,

One voter's’ decision ap-
parently made all the difference
the Central Saanich
municipal election.

Following a recount Monday,
incumbent Eric Lewis still stood
a single vote ahead of challenger

-Ken Stanlake in the race to cap-

ture the third and final seat on
council. Lewis captured 1,294
votes; Stanlake garnered 1,293.
Incumbent Wayne. Watkins
topped the Nov. 15: poll with
1,566 votes, followed by George
elected. to © his
seventh term with 1,479 votes.
Stanlake said Monday he

would seek a judicial recount,

which would take place within
the next two weeks. ‘‘! think

and. worked. for.- me, - “said.
Stanlake. -
Returning officer. Gay

Wheeler -said there were: 29 -re-
jected ballots: ‘‘Most of them
were - blank ballots,’’ ~ said
‘Wheeler, adding that some were

bills all over the place; it was a _
fun thing but. I think anybody
who has-been involved with
horses ;and’ played them
realizes “how inexact. and-un-

‘predictable «they are,”’ “said
Anne.

~The. winning formula was
actually quite easy and cheap.

The Norburys play the pick-..
