Mayoral Hopefuls Spent £861 More Than $85,000 4pow From Page 18 didates filed Friday. Winner Terrill Bouricius of the Citizens Party said he spent $617 while loser Democrat Esther Sorrell spent $641, according to the reports. Well-known Burlington Democrats were large contributors to Stephany's effort. The former Democratic House leader received money from Sen. Philip Hoff, D-Chittenden, Desautels, $475; former $100; Alderman City Democratic Chairman Brian Brennan, $350; Vice Chairman Paul Fisher, $225; and the city Democratic Committee, $1,000.

Gilson's campaign received a funding boost from restaurant owners and businessmen, including $500 each from B.T. McGuire's, Doolin's and Peceras restaurants, all owned by Michael Cain. The Sirloin Saloon, owned by Tony Perry, contributed $500, Burlington Square chipped in $500 and South Burlington insurance salesman Luther Hackett gave $500. Sanders' largest single contribution was from the national headquarters of the union that represents city workers. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Workers, which endorsed Sanders, gave $1,000.

Other large contributors to Sanders included his administrative assistant, Linda Niedweske, $240; City Constable David Clavelle, $520; Frank Cioffi and Steve Coon, owners Minerva's Rest, $115; and Normand Ramsey, the Stowe developer who put a pig farm on Vermont 108 after he failed to win environmental permits for a motel, $500. Most of the money Sanders raised late in the campaign came through events, such as a concert at Memorial Auditorium, dinners and parties, according to Doreen Kraft, his campaign coordinator. A poll financed by the Republican National Committee and given to Gilson's campaign was not listed as a campaign contribution by the GOP candidate. Panel Endorses Jobs Program In a From Page 1B commission "We A problem which must be overcome is that many of the women who would be eligible for the construction and forestry jobs were employed formerly in sales and clerical jobs, she said. "They may not think they can do these jobs, but really, many of the jobs are what women have done in their homes painting, rough carpentry, putting up a fence," she said.

"The commission would certainly encourage David (Wilson) and the other people to take into consideration there are women who can do these jobs and they should be given the prepared statement, said: strongly urge women have exhausted their benefits, are ineligible for Aid to Needy Familes with Children and meet the program guidelines to apply for these positions. "The program provides a good opportunity for women to learn entry-level skills in areas which are non-tradtional for women and may help them to qualify for jobs at higher wage levels in the future." The Vermont League of Women Voters, which also has criticized t'e program, remained unconvinced that it is not discriminatory after hearing Wednesday from Snelling. Gas Tax Plan to Get Scrutiny From Page 1B are reasonable arguments for the 2-cent plan. Transportation Committee members defended their proposal at a seminar Friday. They contended the state's critical paving program and highway grants to towns would suffer if the full gas tax increase is not approved.

"If we wind up with zero cents or 2 cents a gallon, major readjustments will have to be made," Chairman John Zampieri, D- Ryegate, warned his colleagues. "Some projects will have to be postponed," The 3-cent plan would allow repaving to proceed on 460 miles of highway, including a 120-mile backlog where repair is critically needed. A 2-cent version would finance 380 miles of repair, including 40 miles of backlog. If no increase is approved, the state could pave 220 miles, which would increase the backlog by 100 miles. Aid to towns during 1983-1984 would be $1.2 million less under a 2-cent version and $3.5 million less if no tax were approved.

"If we don't pay our share with the 3-cent gas tax, we will not be in a position to take full advantage of these federal dollars," said Rep. David Kaufman, R-South Burlington. Trustees OK Steamtown Move in 1961. It boasts the world's largest collection of authentic steam engines and related paraphernalia. In 1977, it attracted nearly 100,000 tourists.

In recent years, Steamtown has had financial troubles which have forced it to sell some of the collection, Raszmann said. As the number of tourists visit- From Page 1B Weather Service Predicts From Page 1B would account for a significant lake level increase. "It's a very unusual year," Smith said. The lake level prediction formula was developed by Stockton Barnett, former professor of earth science at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. His work was supported in part by the Lake Champlain Committee.

ing the site dropped off, the Steamtown Foundation began looking more seriously for a new location. Steamtown officials have complained Vermont does an inadequate job in promoting its tourist industry, and that was one of the reasons the attraction was suffering. A number of sites were considered in addition to Scranton, including Orlando, and Kingston, N.Y. Low Lake Level Anne Baker, executive director of the committee, said she is very glad to see the flood forecasting begin. Such forecasts were recommended as one alternative to the Richelieu dam as a means of controlling flood damage, and the committee strongly opposed construction of such a dam.

In experimental runs in past years, Baker said, the accuracy of the predictions from Barnett's program was excellent. 2 Injured Critically in Highgate Crash HIGHGATE Two people were critically injured when the car they were riding in slammed into a tree off Carter Hill Road at 3 p.m. Friday, state police said. Jameson Potvin, 2, of Highgate received massive head injuries and a broken arm, and Leo Dow, 25, of Swanton received head and internal injuries and broken bones in both legs, the pelvis and his right arm, officials said. Both were transferred from Northwestern Medical Center in St.

Death Flu Epidemic Closes Castleton Schools By JODIE PECK Free Press Staff Writer Castleton elementary schools were empty Friday because a flu epidemic and the short vacation for students will continue until Wednesday. Principal Paul Poljacik said 176 students, 38 percent of the enrollment in the town's two schools, were out sick Thursday. "We just couldn't go on.

We had classes with three children in them. Classes which normally had 25 children had 12," he said. The school nurse examined 72 children during the day Thursday and sent 42 home. Many of the rest would have been sent home if their parents could have been contacted, Poljacik said. "We determined yesterday to close today and Monday to let this thing run its course," he said.

Tuesday is a regularly scheduled teacher training day and there will be no school anyway. "That will give them a good five days to rest," the principal said. He said schools are a breeding ground for disease. Children are together constantly and the disease can pass quickly, he said. "It's unavoidable," Poljacik said, adding he does not know of the school ever having to close before because of sickness.

The school nurse and local medical center advised Poljacik that the flu would run its course in two to three days. Parents were advised to keep Teens Warned of Offers for Footwear From Wire, Staff Reports MONTPELIER City police are warning youngsters to beware of anyone who wants to buy their shoes after a sneaker-seeker offered a boy $20 for his footwear. Police said the 15-year-old boy was walking downtown this week when he was approached by a man who offered him a ride home. The boy accepted and the man later offered him $20 for his sneakers. According to police, the boy took off his shoes so the man could inspect them, but then decided he did not want to sell the sneakers.

The boy did agree, however, to sell his socks, police said. The man is in his mid-40s, police said. Police said they know the man's identity, but Chief Douglas Hoyt said there is no indication any criminal conduct is involved. The man's behavior "can certainly be upsetting when one is first confronted with it," however, he said.
