Tips Result in 2 A Arrests In Crimestoppers Project Tips to the Champlain Valley Crimestoppers program have resulted in two arrests this week, according to Burlington and Colchester police. Colchester police arrested a man Thursday wanted for two November 1981 armed robberies and a 22-year-old Essex Junction man who failed to appear for sentencing on a Burlington aggravated assault charge was arrested Tuesday in Longmont, Colo. Michael Rich, 25, of Milton was found hiding under a bed in an apartment at 1505 North Avenue in Burlington about 2:45 p.m., Colchester Police Chief Charles A. Kirker said. Rich is wanted for armed robberies at the Market on Main Street Nov.

9 and Kathy's Neighborhood Market on Porter's Point Road Nov. 12, Kirker said. He was arraigned in Vermont District Court Thursday afternoon for the robbery, but refused to enter a plea. The second armed robbery charge is to be filed today, Sgt. Bruce A.

Parizo said. Rich was taken to the Chittenden Community Correctional Center under $50,000 bail. Two other men were arrested March 5 for the armed robberies and the warrant for Rich was issued three days later. His brother James, 21, of Bert's Trailer Park, Milton, has pleaded innocent to both robberies and Joey D. Menard, 21, of Birchwood Trailer Park, Milton, has denied the robbery.

In Colorado, Todd J. Redinger, 22, who failed to appear for sentencing for aggravated assault of a 71-year-old Maple Street woman, was being held at the Boulder County Justice Center pending extradition proceedings, according to Burlington Lt. Kenneth Bush. Redinger was arrested when he showed up for work Tuesday, Bush said. He had been convicted of assaulting Elnora Wright of Maple Street during an attempted burglary last April.

The arrests were the fourth and fifth resulting from the twomonth-old Crime Stoppers program, according to Burlington Police Cpl. Michael H. Rogers. The program guarantees anonymity to telephone tipsters and offers cash rewards for information. Goddard College Pulls Through Its Fiscal Crisis With Payroll The Associated Press PLAINFIELD Goddard College has pulled through another fiscal crisis, officials said Thursday.

The pioneering liberal arts college had missed one payroll and was in danger of missing another when a concession from Goddard's major creditor coupled with a flood of donations kept the wolf from the door once again. Goddard nearly went under last year, and officials worked out a reorganization plan with the Chittenden Trust which is owed about $3 million by the school. College President Jack Lindquist said the bank had agreed to free up some funds that were being held in escrow. The money came from the sale of college lands. Lindquist said that money and "lots of support from trustees, friends, and alumni" had added up about $100,000 more than enough to meet the $28,000 payroll.

"I'd say we're out of the woods for now," Lindquist said. "But things are going to be tight for some time to come. We're still in a period of transition." During this week's cash crunch, sudents were told they might have to leave the Plainfield campus and complete the term's studies by mail. Lindquist said classes at the campus will continue until the end of the term. Goddard has an enrollment of about 115 students.

Racht, Lynch Win 2-Year Terms To Essex Jct. Board of Trustees ESSEX JUNCTION Zoning Commissioner Willis Racht, with 237 votes, and Trustee David E. Lynch, with 216, were elected to two-year terms on the village Board of Trustees during Thursday's annual village meeting. Village Clerk Susan McNamara Hill said 491 out of 4,248 voters, or 11.5 percent, participated in the daylong voting. The winners were trailed by Stella Bukanc, a member of the Essex League of Women Voters, with 168 votes; Charles E.

Ketcham, a former village trustee and president, 133; William C. Kalanges, Planning Commission chairman, 84; and Edward Lacroix, a political newcomer, 55. In the only other race, Janet Wood defeated Kenneth Resi, 364-67, to fill out a two-year term on the Library Board. Albert Crowell was unopposed for reelection with 385 votes to a fiveyear term on the Library Board. Other incumbents without oppostion were Mrs.

Hill, clerk, 379 votes; Janice Sears, treasurer, 372; Joseph C. Jacob, fire chief, 399; Robert Piche, first assistant chief, 392; and Richard Studley, second assistant chief, 392.

Wednesday night, voters had unanimously agreed to raise $848,933 in local taxes for a proposed village budget of $1.5 million.
