The Burlington (VI.) Free Press, Friday, May 1 6, 1 9B6- Riders Outnumber Drivprsn Lamoille County LA occasional rides or regular rides to The service is having more luck bring people to appointments and has Court Roundup Sent for Evaluation By NANCY CROWE Free Press Correspondent MORRISVILLE The Lamoille Transportation Service, an offshoot of Central Vermont Community Action Council, is having trouble attracting drivers to share car rides. The service began four months ago with a grant from the federal Department of Transportation in response to surveys of county residents which indicated widespread transportation problems. Co-sponsored by the council's Morrisville office and the Lamoille County Development Council, the new service is designed to match people without cars with motorists headed in the same direction. But the list of people looking for 79-Year-Old Man MIDDLEBURY A 79-year-old man who lay down in the town's main street and bit Police Chief Albert Watson after Watson and another officer removed him from the road has been sent to the Vermont State Hospital. William Reynolds of Middlebury pleaded innocent to a charge of disorderly conduct in Vermont District Court following the incident Wednesday.

Judge Frank Mahady ordered a 30-day examination. Reynolds had already pleaded innocent to one disorderly conduct charge stemming from a similar incident April 2. He told police then that "there with volunteers who offer to drive people to medical appointments even if the ride is out of their way. Medicaid reimburses the volunteer for some But Douglass emphasized the service should function as a brokerage, matching needs with solutions. "We want people to let us know when they're going to Burlington.

If we had someone headed for a medical appontment," the driver would get help with expenses, she said. The chief need of commuters is transportation to Stowe from other towns in the county, but irregular work schedules have made coordination difficult. The service also calls taxis to truckloads, to be used on Vermont 100 as part of Manosh's contract with the state for construction work. Moss Glen Falls residents, represented by attorney Robert Davison of Stowe, argued before the town Board of Adjustment last week that the project could have similar effects on neighbors as the much larger project denied by the board. The board decided it has the authority to insist that the Percys, as landowners, and Manosh, as excavator, apply for a zoning permit.

A hearing on the project will be held June 3, said Zoning Administra work is growing and motorists are not responding well enough to provide a steady source of travel, said coordinator Linda Douglass. "We've dropped off surveys at some of the larger business sites, but there's not a lot of interest. People are searching for carpools and they're willing to pay, but we haven't got much back from people willing to take passengers "(Drivers) say they want the freedom to stop at the grocery store or they have to pick up children at the baby-sitters. A passenger would be just one more responsibility. But it's also a big restriction not to have a car in a rural area.

It's a real handicap," Douglass said. However, a plan to extract gravel on a half-acre of that land along Elmore Mountain Road has received approval from the state Agency of Transportation and the Agency of Environmental Conservation. Under the agreement, the H.A. Manosh Corp. may remove 4,000 cubic yards of gravel, or about 400 brown, graying hair.

Stowe Gravel Pit Excavation Opponents Shift Focus was no use in living and that he would rather be run over and killed," an affidavit said. Wednesday's incident occurred on U.S. 7 in front of the Middlebury Inn, an affidavit said. Watson's affidavit said Reynolds "yelled obscenities at police" and threatened "to kill myself and Officer (Edward) Cyr." Reynolds was taken to the Addison County Courthouse across the street and "became so loud and abusive in front of court staff that he had to be removed," the affidavit said.

Watson said he was bitten twice by Reynolds as he put him in a police cruiser. Maley successfully argued that Swanco should have placed safety measures within the machine to prevent such accidents. Such measures since have been installed, Maley said. The jury also awarded Perry's wife Sharon $9,180 for loss of companionship and services during his recuperation period. Perry was technically awarded $387,000, but the award was reduced STOWE Residents who battled a proposed gravel pit a quarter-mile from Moss Glen Falls now are gearing up to fight excavation at the opposite end of the same 60-acre parcel.
