2B THE BURLINGTON FREE PRESS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1991 Vermont Restraints may be used on children 4- cision Monday. After a 1988 court hearing in Burlington, officials with the Social and Rehabilitation Services Department refused to take the unrestrained youth back to Woodside, lawyers in the case said. State juvenile defender Robert Sheil, who represented the youth identified as S.A., said Monday he agreed to give S.A. a ride. About three blocks from the courthouse, S.A.

jumped from the car and ran. Sheil said S.A. was apprehended about three hours later. Alexandra Thayer, the lawyer pleads guilty By David Gram The Associated Press MONTPELIER Children in state custody being transported for court hearings may be placed in handcuffs and leg irons, the Vermont Supreme Court has ruled. A lower court had decided that sheriffs deputies, working under contract with the state social services agency, could not use the restraints when transporting a 17-year-old boy from the Wood-side Juvenile Correctional Facility in Essex to Vermont District Court in Burlington.

The Supreme Court overturned that de Windsor man The Associated Press WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Windsor man has changed his plea to guilty to a charge that he shot a Vermont State Police trooper last fall during a rampage through downtown Windsor. John P. Turgeon changed his plea Monday during a status conference in Vermont District Court, about a month before his trial on the charge was to begin. Turgeon's attorney, William Donahue, said he had hoped to use the insanity defense in the trial, but he abandoned the strategy. Donahue said he would not comment further until Turgeon's sentencing, which is scheduled for July 18.

"owmosd 3e-t i Wal-Mart review appealed By Lisa Scagliotti Free Press Staff Writer Williston's review of a proposed Wal-Mart discount store is headed for court through an appeal from Citizens for Responsible Growth. The Williston-based opposition group Monday filed with the town a challenge to a May 20 Zoning Board of Adjustment ruling. The board backed the town planner's decision for the Planning Commission to conduct only a site-plan review of the project rather than a more thorough subdivision review. The two-store Wal-Mart proposal won its site-plan permit June 5. Taft Corners Associates plans to build a 1 building for a Wal-Mart discount store and a building for a Sam's Club, a warehouse division of Wal-Mart.

The stores are planned for a 37-acre site in Taft Corners Commercial Park north of Interstate 89 at Taft Corners. The 230-acre park received an overall subdivision permit from the town in 1987. Noting this, town officials decided that additional subdivision review of the Wal-Mart project would be unnecessary. Citizens for Responsible Growth disagrees. Its objection was rejected by town officials.

Site-plan review is limited to questions of landscaping, screening, parking and on-site traffic. Subdivision review would cover broader issues such as overall traffic, effects on town services and compliance of the project with the town plan. Harvey Carter, the citizens group's lawyer, said the issue is simple. "It's our view that this is a subdivision," he said. Developer Jeffrey L.

Davis said, "We're very convinced that we will prevail." In another development Tuesday, three members of the town Planning Commission who opposed the project's site-plan application put their opposition in writing. Eileen Blackwood, Michael Kanfer and John Lambert presented to the commission a signed explanation of their determination that the project does not comply with the town plan: It will target a larger market than the plan considers for Taft Corners. The proposed stores are too large to be built at one time. They constitute 25 percent of the total retail and service devel-bpment planned for the corners Jbr the next 20 years. The projects will hinder development of the core area around the corners where small retail and commercial uses are planned.

In both the case of S.A. and' that of another young male being: transported from Woodside to the Burlington court, the Supreme Court said SRS has discretion on how to care for children in its supervision.

At the same time, the court, said Vermont's juvenile which now have been folded intou the Family Courts instituted year, are strictly limited in scope. in shooting In exchange for a guilty plea on the attempted murder charge and five other charges related tcP the incident, three other charges against Turgeon were dropped.

"We think the agreements wiH' help reduce the number of complaints," Watts said.
