counted With the exception of a cliff-hanger in the Battle Ground School District, the final results of general election vote county is not expected to change from early results tabulated election night, according to county elections supervisor Tim Likness. Of some 190,000 registered voters more than 50 percent, 100,000, will have voted in the November 8 election. Likness said that the turnout, greater than expected, was due to voters’ using 30 voting drop-off locations on the final day of the election period. The results expected mean election of Steve Stuart to the unexpired term of Craig Pridemore on the board of county commissioners. Stuart has held the job for the past 11 months after having been appointed. He will go before the voters again next year if he chooses to run for re-election, which he says he intends to do. Stuart was challenged by former state legislator Tom Mielke. In the Battle Ground School District, John Karvonen leads Richard C. Kent by 36 votes for the job of school boar director. The vote Thursday afternoon stood at 5,034 for Karvonen, 5,007 for Kent.

Visitors to Pearson Air Museum this evening will get the first look at an extremely rare 1913 bomber during a 5:30-to-7:30 p.m. reception in the museum, 111 5 E 5th Street. On display on the museum’s floor, where attendees can have their picture taken in the cockpit, will be a replica of a 1913 Voisin , 38 feet long, with a 51-foot wingspan. With a top speed of 58 miles an hour, the Voisin could take off at 30 miles an hour. It carried a two-man crew. It was the first aircraft built specifically to be a bomber, and it was credited in World War I with the first air-combat victory when its crew shot down a German Aviatik B. The full-scale replica is one of only three in the world. Another is in the Smithsonian Institution and the third in the French Air and Space Museum in Paris. The Voisin is on loan from the estate of Siegfried Bredl, who, with his partner Larry Brown, built the aircraft. The airplane will remain on the ground through Saturday, Nov. 12, and then will be permanently hung from the roof of the museum, where visitors below can observe it as if it were in flight and visitors from the mezzanine can see into the cockpit. Admission to the reception is $15. Photographs of guests in the cockpit of the airplane are $30. The air museum is regularly open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
