Insurance problems delay Vermont rural buses start
Commuters will wait as Bennington Regional Transit struggles to obtain insurance for three 16 to 22 passenger diesel mini buses. Officials say high costs and insurer reluctance may force state action to insure or purchase the vehicles. Buses, serving multiple towns, are funded with federal FHA money and expected to be ready by late September or October.

White Creek adopts flood plain rules and boosts fire contracts
White Creek heeded flood plain regulations after a hearing with no opposition. Justice Waldemar Roewer agreed to volunteer as building inspector. The law lets property owners obtain subsidized flood insurance. Fire contracts with Cambridge and White Creek rise by about 600, with the White Creek budget likely up from 2,700. A small housing development by John Merriman prompts road and bridge planning to connect Ash Grove Brook, with Cambridge and town officials coordinating to meet state specs.

Census of handicapped children census underway
Superintendent Philip Leonard urged all parents with handicapped children not in school to report them to the central school to ensure inclusion in the district census. The survey aligns with a federal plan to gradually fund part of the excess education cost for handicapped students, starting at five percent in 1978 and rising to 40 percent by 1981. The census seeks children birth to five and will influence federal funding for the district.
