More calls stretch responders' capacity

“Until there is a resolution, we aren't going anywhere.”

WEST FAIRLEE-There will likely be some changes to the service area in 2008 between the town of West Fairlee and the Thetford FAST Squad, but no specific date has yet been determined. Negotiations are ongoing between the Thetford FAST Squad and the West Fairlee Selectboard with the hope of coming to some kind of agreement that will avoid an interruption in emergency response service to West Fairlee, while limiting the burden on the FAST Squad.

The issues stems from problems that may arise as squad members respond to emergency calls in West Fairlee-far from their base in Thetford Center. At present, Thetford's service area is stretched to capacity and they need to focus on their core area, lest they become compromised. Read more

Shining a light on domestic violence

“This is where I'm going to bury your body if you ever try to leave. And nobody will ever find you”

What does the average person know about what it's like to live with a violent and abusive spouse or parent? When we hear about particular circumstances, do we tend to downplay the damage and tell ourselves that the abuser can't be that bad-after all, she hasn't left him yet?

Over the past 10 years, domestic violence has been the leading cause of violent death for Vermont women. The Vermont Department of Children and Families has reported that "almost 2,300 children were victims of or witnessed domestic or sexual violence in their homes in 2005." And the effects continue into the next generation. A 2006 article in Psychology Today states that "90% of batterers saw violence in the household as kids, and many were victims of it themselves."
