Concept for Paran Acres presented by Donald Dailey
Shaftsbury Zoning Board heard a preview of a 99 unit cluster development on the 95 acre former Anna Maguire property near Lake Paran. The proposal would keep 40 percent open space with common land and significant shoreline protection while using village water but no sewer. The plan, budgeted around $35,000 homes, would be built in stages to ease impact on North Bennington schools.

Bennington Survey Doubts Carter Energy Plan Support
A roadside survey in Bennington finds most people watched Carter’s energy speech but few think higher gas prices or gas tax hikes are necessary to save energy. Respondents question oil company gains, support 55 mph limits, and doubt enforcement. A barber suggests CIA oil studies and warns prices will test the public.

Supreme Court okays paddling in public schools
The Supreme Court, by one vote, allows teachers to use reasonable corporal punishment in public schools. Justice Powell writes that the 8th Amendment does not apply to school discipline, while a dissent argues limits exist. The ruling covers cases of moderate, not excessive, force and notes civil or criminal penalties for excessive action. A Florida case at Drew Junior High prompted the decision with a student receiving five licks for an alleged obscene phone call.

He frames the energy crisis as a wartime threat and says sacrifices in living and convenience are required, with an aim to cut gasoline use 10 percent by 1985.
