Th Burlington Vt.) Fr Prs, SoMrdoy. Jonuory 5, 1985 1 A New Transportation Chief a Newcomer to Government From Page 1 A 1984, Bard is a political unknown uncovered by Kunin's personnel search team. Bard, who agreed to resign as a board member of Blue Cross, said health care delivery would be one of his key concerns as commissioner. Mary Ashcroft, 31, of Rutland Town, picked as the new governor's legislative liason. Ashcroft, who worked on Kunin's campaign this year, will be a familiar face at the Statehouse.

She served in the House 1980-82. the appointment came as a mild surprise. Kunin, who was critical of the raid during her campaign, said she discussed it "at length" with Bristow before deciding to reappoint him. "I reached the conclusion that we disagree about that issue we respectfully disagree," she said. David Bard, 38, of Shelburne, appointed as the new banking and insurance commissioner.

A University of Vermont graduate who worked for the Chittenden from 1973 to ability to deal with transportion issues, Conrad added. Kunin's other appointments included: Gerald Tarrant, 38, of Montpe-lier, chosen to replace Richard Sau-dek as head of the Public Service Department job. He moved to Vermont from Washington, D.C., in 1978 to work for the Public Service Board, then took a job with the department when it was formed in 1981. Kunin said Tarrant would build on the foundation established during Saudek's long tenure, focusing on consumer concerns, energy conservation and continued negotiations regarding Canadian hydropower purchases. Both also said the rates proposed for small power production would be scrutinized again in coming months.

Charles Bristow, reappointed as public safety commissioner. Because of his role in last summer's raid on an Island Pond religious sect as a then-assistant attorney general, Public Accountants. "I think she's demonstrated her capabilities by advancing to be a partner in one of the major firms in the state." Crampton maintains outstanding professional standards and shows objectivity and independent thinking, said Stephen MacPherson, the accounting society's executive director and former state commissioner of finance. "She is a real managerial person who will certainly be a great benefit for the incoming administration," MacPherson said. Frank G.

Conrad, a Ludlow lawyer and accountant, praised Cramp-ton's work as vice chairman of the state board of accountancy, which he chairs. He described her as a private person who keeps her professional and private lives apart. Her background as a certified public accountant, or CPA, gives her broad experience and the analytical shareholder and key player in the $100 million Alden Corp. waterfront proposal in Burlington. "I'm excited about the opportunity," Crampton said.

"The key to this i job, as I see it, is effective manage- ment." She said she would withdraw as a ''''partner in her accounting firm over the next month to six weeks, while also working during that period with outgoing Transportation Secretary Patrick Garahan, who will stay on temporarily to smooth the transition. Crampton's accounting colleagues call her a skillful, well-re-; spected professional. "She's intelligent and resourceful," said Roderic Sherman, a Mont-pelier accountant and president of i the Vermont Society of Certified Kunin Taking Risks by Appointing Newcomers From Page 1 A who obviously have experience. At this point I feel we have a very good mixture some new people, some experienced people, people with strong managerial experience, people with strong legislative experience." Another Kunin cabinet-level appointment was James Guest as development secretary. That choice raised some eyebrows.

A former secretary of state, Guest has a background as a consumer advocate that may have to be refocused into a pro-business stance if he is to attract industry into enced and the inexperienced. Her choice of Gretchen Morse, a state lawmaker with no management experience, to head the Human Services Agency was buffered by the appointment of James O'Rourke, a 25-year agency veteran, to the deputy secretary's slot. Other veterans in the new administration will include Art Ristau as administration secretary and Leonard Wilson as environmental conservation secretary. Ristau served under two previous administrations and Wilson under three. "We tried to strike a balance," Kunin said.

"You need some people Vermont and encourage expansion of existing firms. Sen. Thomas Crowley, D-Chitten-den, said of Guest's selection: "It's kind of like having Ralph Nader in charge of licensing nuclear plants." Kunin acknowledged Friday that her cabinet selections "will have a profound effect on the future of this state." The performance of her cabinet over the next two years also will play a strong role in shaping public perception of the state's new governor. ties, Rep. John Zampieri, D-Ryegate, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, said he anticipated no problems with the appointment of Crampton.

"Anyone who has never been involved would find it difficult," said Zampieri, who had expressed interest in the post. "It will be a learning process for the individual. But with the management support team that is there, I don't see any major problems for her." Kunin said she purposely varied her selections between the experi Clinics More Vigilant In Wake of Bombings From Page 1 A 1 bombing." Staff members from clinics in California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Colorado began receiving training by agents late last year. "Our direction is to go out and help the clinics wherever possible with building security, how to handle bomb threats and internal security, so they can reduce these incidents," said agent Robert Skopeck of the bureau's Los Angeles office. In California, six incidents have been reported at abortion clinics since March 1984, including two attempts this fall to burn the Eureka Planned Parenthood offices and a December fire at a Santa Ana abortion clinic.

In September, the Birth Control Institute of San Diego was set afire, causing heavy damage but no injuries.

Agents of the ATF are assisting the clinics. James R. Reeves, special agent in charge of the bureau's Chicago office, said Friday that his agents are continuing to contact clinic operators to warn them to watch for packages that might contain bombs and to scrutinize people who seem suspicious. In Ohio, too, agents have warned clinic personnel to be cautious, especially after a caller to the Washington Times newspaper on Tuesday claimed to represent the shadowy "Army of God" and said the anti-abortion group was responsible for the Washington, D.C., bombing and would next target a clinic in Ohio.

"We have warned clinic employees to be aware of the potential for danger," said John Lawhom, assistant special agent in charge of the bureau's Ohio division.
