That's precisely the view of penology we've been moving away from," said Morrisville attorney David Williams. "The second thing is that people brought into this dragnet are not intentional offenders.

What do you use the second and Free Press Correspondent 1 HYDE PARK A new policy in Lamoille County, recommend- ing jail sentences for those "charged for the first time with driving while intoxicated, has prompted strong opposition from -defense lawyers. Most attorneys said they believe State's Attorney Joel Page's effort is sincere, but feel his solution is inappropriate.

The policy, put into effect last month, is too "harsh and will needlessly jam the Page said he began the practice principally because he feels it is an effective deterrent. He said he believes the public has demanded an attempt to crack down on the DWI problem. 'There's a lot of dissatisfaction and mistrust in the minds of the public about the way these cases have been handled. They're just not satisfied with the penalties being given out," Page said. "I think this may be a way to restore faith, at least in this county." Page said it is too early to "Have Charles pick me up at 4:30 EM.

and take me to the Pierre" ommendations, but the number of people pleading guilty to DWI charges has declined, he said. Judge George Costes has not always followed Page's recommendations, but all but one of seven DWI cases that went to trial recently have resulted in guilty verdicts, according to Page. Most, he said, are being appealed and the drivers have not been sentenced. Johnson attorney Leslie E. Black feels a jail sentence for a first offender is too harsh a penalty, particularly in light of statistical evidence that 80 percent of those who complete the state's Crash course do not commit the offense again.

License suspension, the Crash course and alcohol counseling when needed, she said, are sufficient. "Those things are significant. For most first offenders it's going don't feel it's appropriate to send them to jail." Ms. Black also is concerned that Lamoille County residents may be discriminated against in future court proceedings as a result of Page's policy. Judges, she are likely to hand down longer sentences to people who have served time in jail.

Defense lawyers also object that as jury trials are increasingly requested, the crowded court docket will become severely backlogged. Already three trials have been postponed because the judge was busy. Page, however, said his recommendations will impede the judicial system only temporarily. "I'm going to go ahead with these trials and the system is going to have to make adjustments to deal with it," he said. "Pretty soon it will be accepted that this is part of the status quo."

If a caller provides information, "it doesn't necessarily mean we pursue a case as a result of that," he said.

"We request again that anybody who believes they have information with regard to it contact state police at Middlesex or the Northfield Police Department," he said.

Four young children waiting for a school bus discovered the body about 7 a.m. Thursday on the Mill Hill Road. "I am somewhat surprised," McNaughton said. "Usually on something like this, when we make a request through the media for information, we get quite a few calls. this incident) has been very, very quiet.

We haven't had much information at all." He said, "Within the limitations we have as far as doctor-patient privilege, we've notified all the local hospitals and so forth. the agencies we can think of at this point." The child was born alive, according to an autopsy report, and apparently was abandoned Wednesday or Thursday.
