Aldermanic - candidate Mo.
Takhar and school trustee can-
didate Bob Branning both said
that they didn’t really feel that it
made much difference.

Takhar said, ‘‘With the
amount of people that show up I
don’t really think it makes a dif-
ference anyway.”’:

Branning said he feels that
most people have already made
up their minds, and he doesn’t
expect a large crowd. “I don’t
see how it’s going to make a
great deal of difference really,’’
he said, but added that if there is
a big ‘‘backlash over the shop-
ping issue there may be a large
turnout.”’

Aldermanic candidate Helmut
Giesbrecht felt it was more im-
portant, and said, .‘‘I don’t
know how the public is really go-
ing to weigh the different can-
didates and decide who they’re
going to vote for.

**One of the reasons for havy-
ing an all-candidate meeting is
so that you can get your message
out, but you rely considerably
on the media to do some of that,
and if they. don’t, then it wastes
a lot of effort,’’ he said.

Giesbrecht suggested that the
city could help by booking the
theater for the Jaycees so they
wouldn’t have to wait until after
the nominations to organize the
forum. He said that in this way a
public meeting could be held the
week following nominations.

Trustee candidate George
Kozak’s comments were similar,
but he suggested going even fur-

ther with an open line show im- _

mediately following nomina-
tions, ‘‘to héat things up”’, and
an. all-candidates forum the
following week.

**I feel that the public forums ©

are good, but we’re running it
way too late, and that forum
won’t have that much. effect, ”
he said.

Aldermanic candidate Danny
Sheridan said the forum had
been run late before. ‘‘It sort of
happens each year,’’ he said,

Aldermanic candidate. Ruth
Hallock said that most people

have already made up their mind

by the last week of campaigning

_ and that is the reason for tradi-

tionally low turnouts at all can-
