RUTLAND DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 1987 Dole Predicts Win in Vermont Dole urged his Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers and the South Burlington High School students to exercize their right to vote. Politics is not a spectator sport. If you sit of the sidelines, youre not going to make any difference, he said. Students quizzed Dole on an array of questions during his 30-minute appearance. But the wildest applause came for a query about why age 18 is old enough to vote and fight in a war but not to drink.

Dole cited highway fatalities but urged the students to become involved in the voting process to change laws they oppose. A handful of students who were questioned after his remarks said they doubted they would vote for Dole, though some were charmed by histyle. Sarah Cook, 17, said sly felt the Kansas Republican failed fully to answer her question on whether he would cut defense spending. But, she added, Hes a very nice fellow. Even though he comes from Kansas, he sounds like hes a hometown boy from Vermont.

Senior Class President Jonathan Fine, 16, said he thought Doles remark that he would rather overspend on defense than underspend, was a cliche and that he wouldn't vote for Dole. Bill Simmon, 18, said he didnt agree with Doles views either, but observed, He has a good stage honesty. age presence conveying a Bush, he said, seems plastic Flanked by Snelling, Rep. Michael Bernhardt, R-Londonderry, his state campaign coordinator, and Rep. Sara Gear, R-Burlington, Dole said he expected to capture the majority vote in the early Republican primaries in Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Iowa, Hawaii and Vermont.

He conceded he was playing catch-up in New Hampshire and South Carolina. And he said he was pleased with his war chest of $8.5 million, plus $2 million left over from the last campaign. Dole will formally announce his candidacy Nov. 9, in Russell, his hometown. Bush, who formally announced his candidacy Monday in Houston, Texas, has raised more than $10 million for his campaign.

Dole reiterated themes he has stressed in two previous visits to Vermont this year. He said he would like to see three-way talks among the United States, the Contra rebels in Nicaragua, and the Nicaraguan government that would result in the withdrawal of Soviets, Cubans and Americans from Nicaragua. Dole also said it was time to stop studying and start acting on acid rain. Dole said ne opposed invoking the War Powers Act with respect to the Persian Gulf and said the Bork nomination was doomed, but that Bork deserved an elevated debate on the floor of the Senate on the Soliticization of the nomination. I just on't think he was treated fairly, Dole said.

By DEBBIE BOOKCHHIN BURLINGTON Sen. Robert Dole, predicted Monday he would win seven of 10 early primary states, including Vermont. In a two-hour campaign swing through the Burlington area sandwiched between visits to New Hampshire and Connecticut, the Senate minority leader chatted with his fraternity brothers at Kappa Sigma, addressed an assembly of 400 South Burlington High school students and spoke with reporters at a press conference. Throughout, Dole displayed the informal, homespun style that his supporters hope will distingisn him as a leader and candidate of the people, compared to his chief opponent, Vice President George Bush. Bush's July appearance in Burlington featured a $500-a-plate dinner that was closed to reporters.

When it comes to leadership, when it comes to genuine sincerity, strength and willingness to lead, I think that characteristic is more associated with Dole than with Bush, said former Gov. Richard A. Snelling, who, with Sen. Robert Stafford, is the honorary co-chairman of the Vermont Dole campaign. We havent had any $500-a-plate fund-raisers, and I dont think we will.

At a 10-minute press conference. Dole, who trails Bush by nine points in national Soils, said he was running strong in the lidwest and is about split with Bush in the Northeast. wedding day. We had agreed that we would be married at a private ceremony at our church, followed by a dinner for the immediate family. You can imagine my surprise to arrive at the church and find 25 or 30 of my fiances out-of-town relatives there! Since we hadnt planned-on guests, it was an awkward moment.

Later I learned that my husbands mother had invited them, and even arranged for a catered dinner following the ceremony. My husband thought this was a nice thing for her to have done. I thought-it was underhanded. I also thought the bride and groom made the wedding plans. The fact that his mother took it upon herself to invite these people caused embarrassment for me and my family.

Dont you think this should have been discussed with us before the marriage? I do. My husband insists that I am wrong, and his mother wasnt in the least out of line. Ive tried to forget it, but it keeps coming up, and Id like your opinion. STINGING MEMORIES DEAR STINGING: To have invited wedding guests without your knowledge and approval was certainly "out of line." I know its not easy to forget, but no good purpose is served by bringing it up. If its any satisfaction for you to know that Abby is on your side, I am.

DEAR ABBY: Reading the letter from Wondering in San Antonio took me back many years. (Wonderings husband of six years thought it was perfectly OK to visit his 17-year-old stepdaughters bedroom at bedtime to talk to her. The girl slept in the nude and made very little effort to cover up. Wondering said when she mentioned this to her husband, he accused her of being paranoid, crazy and evil-minded.) When I was 35, 1 married a man who seemed to be overly fond of my 14-year-old daughter. He spent much time tucking her in and playing physical games wrestling, hugging and dancing.

When she started to date, he insulted every boy she brought home. They grew closer and closer. By the time she was 28, she hadnt brought anybody home for three years. Their relationship was ous to me, but she denied it, and he called me crazy and evil-minded. I tried to talk some sense into her, but she wouldnt listen.

I retained a lawyer who wrote her a letter demanding that she move from our home. She moved. A few months later, my husband moved out, and in with her. We were subsequently divorced and he married my daughter. Theyve been together since 1966.

I know that most men are decent, but I think women should be careful when they consider bringing a man into their home as a stepfather. TRUE STORY, WILMINGTON, DEL. DEAR TRUE STORY: Thank you for sharing your experience. A word to the wives is sufficient. Abenakis to Challenge Fishing Laws said yesterday if we gave him an up-to-date financial report, he would call a revote.

He reneged today, but were going to call his bluff. She added, Ive been trying to avoid a really big fight, a blow-up. If I bad insisted that the vote issue had to be taken care of, we would have ended up in some really heavy stuff there I dont know. We feel for a recount or a revote. But St.

Francis has refused to honor either. This turned into a a hotly debated issue Sunday. St. Francis tried to get the tribe to remove St. Pierre from office but couldnt get a vote on to the floor.

In return, she asked several times for a revote for chief, but St. Francis would not acknowledge her request. had left the tribe because they were upset with St. Franciss confrontational approach to issues, as with the game law issue. In a related issue, St.

Francis said the University of Vermonts anthropology department is ready to return the bones ofa Abenaki ancestors. He said he was negotiating with a private landowner for land for a cemetery so the bones could be properly reburied. like were damned if we do and damned if we dont. She said some tribe members DEAR ABBY: If you receive a gift, and thank the giver in person when you receive it, is it necessary to send a written thank-you note? CURIOUS DEAR CURIOUS: Yes. People with the best maimers always send written thank-yon notes.

And promptly. Everythings fine. Im still the chief, and thats how its going to stay, St. Francis said Monday night. St.

Pierre said, Im not sure what were going to do. Homer Pm DEAR ABBY: Although my husband and I have been married for 32 years, we still disagree about something that happened on our (. By YVONNE DALEY SWANTON The Abenaki tribe of Native Americans will hold avfish-in on Sunday to challenge state fish and game laws and emphasize their demand for unrestricted hunting and fishing rights. We plan to make them answer tne question of whether the Abenakis have aboriginal hunting rights similar to those granted Native Americans living in other states, or we will break them, said Home St. Francis, the newly elected and controversial Abenaki tribal chief Monday night.

rMaybe the state will spend its whole surplus to fight the Indians, he said. The state recently dropped a number of cases, in which St. Francis and other Abenakis Were charged with violating state fishing and hunting laws, saying the issue of aboriginal rights should be decided by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. The fish-in will be held at 2 on the Missisquoi River in wanton, traditional hunting and fishing grounds for the ancestors of todays Abenaki Indians. Again last Sunday, the issue of a recent tribal election turned into a heated confrontation.

St. Francis defeated his opponent, the former acting chief Lester Lampman, by three votes, two of which have been contested. Election committee chairman Ted Greenia admitted Sunday that he was the only one of the five-member election committee who actually saw all the votes. Lampman and Joan St. Pierre, chairman of the Abenaki Self-Help Association, have called Bill Aims to Control Discharge of Sewage i 3 Vermont Press Bureau MONTPELIER Vermont communities now discharging raw sewage into lakes or rivers would be unable to issue building permits under a bill that will be introduced in the upcoming Legislature by Sen.
