I don't know if people aren't interested or if they just don't have the Bob Minkewicz city Republican chairman jr If to challenge one-term Mayor Peter Clavelle, but few people were, interested in making that commitment, he said. He said he had no good explanation for the meager slate.

"I can't pin it on any one thing," he said. "I don't know if people aren't interested or if they just don't have the time." He added that last fall's rigor-, ous election that included several legislative contests and a big Republican push for former U.S. Rep. Peter Smith left many active city Republicans weary. Other names on the GOP slate are: Ward 1: June Trono for inspector of elections.

Ward 4: Christine Haskins, Ed Proulx and John Lanzetta for inspectors of elections. Ward 5: Jacqueline Comstock for inspector of elections. Ward 6: Torrey Carpenter, ward clerk; George Niewenhous and Roderick Rice for inspector of elections. ByUsaScagliotti Free Press Staff Writer Burlington Republicans on Friday drew np their list of candidates for the March elections, and it includes two contenders for City Council seats and no mayoral or School Board hopefuls. City Republican chairman Bob Minkewicz announced the results of the afternoon caucus attended by about a dozen GOP members.

In Ward 4, Leonard Giles, 56, will run in place of longtime Republican City Councilor Alan F. Gear, who, after 12 years on the council, will not seek re-election. Giles is a Norwich University graduate and owns Leonard's Wholesale, a Burlington distribution company. He will face Democrat Rich Frothingham and Nancy Farrell, a member of the Progressive Coalition. In Ward 5, lawyer Chris Roy will square off with Democrat Jane Watson and independent Marc Kornbluh for the seat held by Councilor Randolph Amis.

A native of Barre, Roy is a 1982 running," he said, adding some praise for the Democrat "I think she's a good candidate and well-respected in Ward 6." A political scientist, Hallowell unsuccessfully challenged state Rep. Helen Riehle, R-Burlington, in November. Other Ward 6 candidates for the City Council are Adele Dienno, a member of the Progressive Coalition and former member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment; and Bea Bookchin, a longtime city activist and member of an offshoot party of the Burlington Greens called the Civic Forum. Minkewicz said he was disappointed that the party did not field more candidates, particularly one MARK SASAHAKA, FrM Presl Getting their licks in Six-year-old Amy Donley of Starksboro is a lollipop for puppies at the Pet Menagerie in the University Mall on Friday.

Sutherland will not seek a third and Republicans failed to find a candidate to run in his place in what has traditionally been a Republican stronghold.

Minkewicz said part of the problem is Democrat Ann Hallowell's candidacy. "Her running in Ward 6 may have dissuaded someone else from stabbing into a fight with Jones, whose brother ran inside a nearby house to get a knife. Lucas ran at Neil Jones after he had taken the knife away from his brother, Russell Jones, Hughes said. Lucas was stabbed when he charged Jones, Hughes said. Lucas was sentenced in U.S.
