Rutland Daily Herald from Rutland, Vermont • 15

B5 Rutland Daily Herald StStO Saturday, February 21, 2004 Religious Services Group pushing for statewide needle exchange to go mobile was in the original proposal to the state, but it was not approved by the health commissioner. Farrell said the Health Department approved the concept of a mobile exchange program last year. But before it can begin, the rules have to be established. Under the terms of the proposal, the peer outreach workers, given a stipend, would have a lengthy list of guidelines to follow before being able to distribute needles. Farrell said there are already six trained outreach workers in the Northeast Kingdom ready to bring needles and education to the streets.

The next step is to get approval from the Vermont heal th commissioner to do so. Ths Associated Press ST. JOHNSBURY Organizers of a statewide needle exchange program for intravenous drug users want to change the program so needles can be given out in the community rather than just at roved clinics. Inder the proposal, trained outreach workers, already working in their community, would provide drug users with a safe means of using needle-injected substances, Tike heroin, while educating them on health and safety issues, like safe sex. The hope is that if we get outreach-approved, it can get the prevention materials to where (the people who need it) are at, said Vermont Cares executive director Kendall Farrell.

There are so many barriers to getting people into a site-based program. St. Johnsbury's Vermont CARES Community Advisory Board met Thursday night to review an amendment to the statewide Organized Communitybased Needle Exchange Programs operating guidelines that would allow that to happen. St. Johnsbury is one of three locations in Vermont that hosts an exchange clinic.

The others are Burlington and Brattleboro, Farrell said. The exchange program is a continuing effort to squelch growing blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted diseases passed through needle sharing and unprotected sex.

Search for woman expands to Vt The Associated Press Authorities expanded their search for a missing nursing student to Vermont after learning she looked up directions to the Burlington area before disappearing in New Hampshire more than a week ago. Maura Murray, 21 of Hanson, a student at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, disappeared after she was involved in a minor car accident in northern New Hampshire on Feb. 9. Searches, including a renewed search Thursday with dogs and a helicopter, turned up no' signs that the woman wandered into the snow-covered woods.

New Hampshire State Police Lt. John Scarinza said Friday that for several days police have been checking motels and hotels in several Vermont communities, to no avail. Investigators know of no one Murray might know in the Burlington area, he said. been headed or who she might visit, Scarinza said. Murray had e-mailed her professors, telling them she would be out of class for a week while she tended to some unspecified family business, then apparently headed north.

After the accident in the Woods-ville section of Haverhill, a witness said Murray asked him to call a wrecker, but not the police. Police were called and an officer was on the scene in less than 10 minutes, but Murray was gone. If someone, by chance, picked her up as a good Samaritan, please let us know, Scarinza said. He said officials dont plan further ground searches in the area because the snow cover has made it easy to determine no tracks were heading away from the scene. You can see nobody has crossed this field, nobody has gone up this ridge and from the air, you can see whats come through," he said- Scarinza said police believe Murray got a ride from the accident scene.

From that point on, its destination unknown, he said. He said searchers found no sign of a struggle at the scene or any other evidence that shed been harmed. I totally appreciate the familys frustration in not knowing where she is or what has happened, he said. But its also true that she was apparently leaving Massachusetts without telling her family or friends or her boyfriend. That indicates to me that perhaps she wanted to get away on her own for a certain period of time.

And if she is not in New England, she might not know of the search, he said. The FBI has been developing a timeline of Murrays activities in the week before she disappeared. UMass police have interviewed dozens of people, trying to find out where Murray might have THE BIGKVENTI Limited Time Offer!
