Stating that she would rather hear election results ail aE once than bit by bit, the former Halton Women Teachers' Association president didn't arrive ut the Lions Hall until shortly alter 10 p.m. By then, with just over haîf the polis in, she had 1, 165 votes - compared to Paul Tate's 398 and 359 for Reverend Ken Campbell. "It's really not my style (ta assume premature victo- t'y), but l'm very pleased with how things tumed out," said a somnewhat reserved Ms Andrew. "I think I got my point across that in very comrnitted to students and the school systern." Conceding defeat moments earlier, neither Mr. Tate nor Rev. Campbell sppeared surprised over the results. Describing himself as "the candidate from nowhere," Mr. Tate said Ms Andrew is very capable of assuming the tn.astee's seat. 11 really didn't campaign sE ail, other than tbe afl- candidates debates. However, I was happy that 1 had a chance ta help educate the public on the issues sur- rounding Bill 160," bie remarked. Rev. Campbell - by cantrast - felt a largely Ilpolitically incorrect" campaign coat him a serious mun ut the school hourd position, but did allow him appor- tunity to air bis views. Speaking in favour of Bill 160 throughout the cam- paign, the religious foundcer of Renaissance Canada said be will "*celebrate" if the controversial legislation s they ing a xby peri- him ever ving, t mbt .d on srve aun- ent. passes finai read- ing next week. He's main- tained ail along that Bill 160 takes power away from teachers and gives it back ta parents - "where it belongs." Monday night's winner said a strong door-to- door campaign plus her experi-' ence as a teacher Erica Andrew and education consultant are wbat camred her to victory. "I know the issues, because I've worked with them," said Ms Andrew. Althougb responsibilities for new school boards have yet to be defined by the province, Ms Andrew hopes ta continue grass-moots consultation with teach- ers and students. She'll aiso, continue to voice opposition to Bill 160, which she believes "bas very dangerous implications for the education system."
