The three people elected to four-year terms on the Idyllwild fire protection Distgrict Commission are Jeannine Charles-Stigall, Ben Killingworth and Chip Schelly.
The Registrar of Voters released the official count of write-in votes tonight and candidate Steve Kepler received 137 votes, well short of Killingsworth's 251. He had the third highest total of the seven candidates.
Schelly lead the count with 466 votes followed by Charles-Stigall who garnered 403. Killingsworth was third. Former IFPD President Glen "Mac" McWilliams and commission Earl Parker trailed Killingsworth by 80 votes with 173 each.
Togther Schelly and Charles-Stigall outpolled the other four candidates on the ballot. Their overwhelming victory would appear to be a signal for modifying the current departmental attitude.
Good luck to the victors and thank you for your time and effort to the defearted and former commissioners.They compiled a lot of time working with the staff and devoted energy for many years to the department. Thanks again and enjoy the future.

IFPD election results
Three new faces will be sitting in the front of the IFPD meeting room after December 4. That's the date the commissioner-elects will be officially sworn.
Of course, stranger thiings have happened and one or more might be invited to be seated sooner. Afterall Commissiioner Lloyd Vaught has already expressed a desire to retire from the board. Now he will be.
Victors Dr. Charles "Chip" Schelly and Jeannine Charles-Stigall won commission seats in a surprisingly easy race. The voters overwhelmingly retired all of the incumbents except for Ben Killingsworth. (Vote totals are below.)
As of 9 p.m., Tuesday evening, Registrar of Voters Barbara Dunmore said write-in candidate Steve Kepler had 138 votes with more ballots to be counted. So it is possible that he may eventually slip past Killingsworth, although it is a long-shot.
Schelly and Jeannine each polled more than twice Glen McWilliam's and Earl Parker's vote totals. Both received more votes than President Paul Riggi did two years ago.
Unless a surprise occurs, the composition of the IFDP commission in December will be Riggi, Killingsworth, Schelly, Charles-Stigall and Pete Capparelli, who along with Riggi will be up for election in 2011.
Candidate Vote Count Percent
Schelly 460 30.30
Charles-Stigall 403 26.55
Killingsworth 251 16.53
McWilliams 172 11.33
Parker 170 11.20
Vaught 62 4.08
