Winooski Ave. apparently failed to capture the required support Unofficial results showed the question falling short of the two-thirds requirement on a vote. Police Chief Kevin Scully said he thought the two-thirds requirement was appropriate for a project of this expense.

Democrats at the state level said the state GOP supported the two despite their right-wing ideas, in hopes of providing gubernatorial candidate Richard Snelling with a Republican Legislature. "I feel good, but I think it's quite strange to look at the two political philosophies represented in the vote," Bahre said late Tuesday. Bahre beat Mathis in the Rutland Northeast superintendent's hometown, Goshen, with 69 votes to Mathis' 64. Ready, 37, of Lincoln, the Addison County Community Trust's director, said, Bahre "only won in five towns, and they are small towns." Vote totals are unofficial and may be incomplete in some races.

Hilton Wick appeared to have lost his seat in the Chittenden District on Tuesday, but incomplete vote totals made it unclear early this morning who would take the final two seats in the six-seat district Sens. Douglas Racine of Richmond and Sally Conrad of Burlington, both Democrats, and George Little of Burlington, a Republican, were easily re-elected to represent Vermont's most populous county in the Statehouse. It appeared that three former legislators J. Dennis Delaney, Edwin Granai and Althea Kroger would be the other successful candidates. Wick, 70, of Burlington, has been a member of the Senate Government Operations and Finance committees.

He was among the Vermont Student Assistance Corp. board members forced to resign last year, after public disclosure that its director was being paid more than the governor and had a lucrative retirement plan. He sponsored a bill that allowed the state to save $600,000 by allowing Vermont to self-insure itself. Delaney, Kroger and Granai were all at their homes waiting for vote results to be called into them.

Donlan Free Press Staff Writer Burlington voters approved by 2-to-l ratio a conceptual plan that allows the city to use the state urban renewal law to revitalize the waterfront The early, unofficial results showed the question passing on a 7,942 to 3,960 vote. Mayor Peter Clavelle said the outcome shows that Burlington residents want the city to move ahead with plans to redevelop the waterfront The plan includes open space, r- Davis turns 90 today. dates running in so many parties, he fears winners will not have a deep constituency that represents most Vermonters. As governor, the environmentally inclined Davis pushed through Act 250, the growth control law. It brought Davis support at a time when he was viewed as the villain who introduced the sales tax in Vermont "If they can get something they can be for you for," Davis said, "why, they forget all the things they didn't like about you before." To this day, Davis is recognized for a television ad that aired during his re-election campaign in 1970.

The governor, dressed in old clothes, was shown bailing water from a worn-out boat named Vermont When Davis was re-elected, political pundits said the commer sun commercial development east of Lake Street, and marinas. It calls for the preservation of the land north of the former Moran generating station. "There's never been a stronger statement on the waterfront," Clavelle said. "It's a clear mandate, and I think it's a victory for all Vennonters. I think it's a grand step forward to realizing a waterfront we can all use and enjoy." City voters will decide next year whether the city should buy 43.5 acres north of the old Moran plant "The next vote will be to put JYM WIISON, Fre Press cial won it for him, but Davis thinks the impact was exaggerated.

Born in East Barre into a family with nine children, Davis grew up with a strong work ethic. He shined shoes to pay his way at Boston University Law School, graduating in 1922. As a young lawyer, he earned $1 for a title search and $15 for a divorce. In 1940, he was hired as general counsel at National Life and served as president 1950 to 1968. At the age of 68, Davis ran for governor.

"Everybody said I was too old," he recalls. To prove he wasn't, Davis campaigned astride one of his Morgans. Photographs to prove it will be published in his memoirs in the spring, Davis said. "When I get where I can't ride," he said, "IH Just die." AM' Sanders carries independents By Andrea Zentz Capital Bureau Chief Bernard Sanders' popularity had a ripple effect in Burlington where two members of the Progressive Coalition beat major party candidates in state House races. Independents across the state did not fare as well.

The Progressive Coalition was built by Sanders when he was Burlington mayor. Terrill Bouricius, a five-term member of the City Council, beat Democratic incumbent Ben Truman in the Chittenden-7-4 House District. He lost to Truman by six votes in 1986. Bouricius attributed part of his success to Sanders' popularity. "Ill basically be taking the Sanders agenda on a statewide basis," he said.

He said voters are disgusted with the party system both nationally and locally. "I think the majority have rejected the Democratic and Republican party," he said. "Most Vermonters say very proudly they don't vote for a party, but an individual, because they realize the Democratic and Republican parties don't stand for anything." Tom Smith, a two-term Burlington city councilor, and Elaine M. Charboneau, a six-term incumbent, beat Democrat Alan Bjerke, Republican Janet Dunn and independent Ron Latour Sr. A Chitten-den-7-7 seat opened up when Barbara Hockert dropped out after the primary for health reasons.

Smith also attributed his success to Sanders. "We can't deny the importance of Bernie making independent politics a real force for working people. You wouldn't believe the way he's welcomed. Particularly by the elderly. It's like the long lost son." Smith said he has worked hard as a city councilor.

"I think they (voters) see me as someone who will listen to them, work for them. People are tired of the same ol He had worried that the voters would never get to his name; he was last in a line of five candidates. The last time an organized third party sent someone to Mont-pelier was in 1917. James Lawson of the Socialist Party was elected to represent Barre Town. In other developments, Dean Corren, a Progressive, lost to Hamilton Davis in the Chittenden-7-3 District despite getting as many as 500 people to register to vote.

Davis, a Democrat, replaces K. Micque Glitman, who chose not to seek re-election. Republican State Rep. Charles "Chub" Franzoni, who lost the primary, unsuccessfully ran as an independent in Rutland 6-1. Republican Betty Ferraro won.

i- Bahre, Ready take lead in Addison Senate race Former governor still riding high Deane Davis celebrates 90th birthday today 0 11 By Kathryn Van Sant Free Press Staff Writer With all towns but Starksboro reporting, Republican newcomer Tom Bahre and incumbent Democrat Elizabeth Ready were leading in the bitter race to represent the Addison Senate district. The two-seat district takes in all of Addison County and the Rutland County town of Brandon. Republican Douglas Baker created a vacancy when he decided to not to seek a fifth term. Ready had received 8,532 votes. Bahre had received 6,386.

Democrat William Mathis followed with 5,767 and Republican John Adams trailed with 5,614. If Bahre wins, he is expected to be a far more conservative senator than the man he replaces something Democrats statewide pointed out throughout the volatile race. For example, while the two Democrats are abortion-rights proponents, Bahre talks of "pro By Molly Walsh Free Press Staff Writer MONTPELIER Deane C. Davis turns 90 today, and he's still buying green bananas. The Republican who was governor of Vermont from 1969 to 1973 is confident hell hit an even riper age.

"I have a wild theory that the brain is the most important part of you." The rest, he says, is plumbing. Both his brain and his plumbing are running OK. He drives a car with plates that say Gov." He rides, indulging a lifelong passion for Morgan horses. He also votes Republican. Davis, who supported Richard Snelling for governor and Peter Smith for Congress, is dismayed by the decline of the two-party system.
