Rutland Rutland First meeting refugee holds on refugee plans resettlement on hold

Serving more than 30,000 Readers Weekly

ROAD WORK

By Michael Bielawski

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

RUTLAND — Rutland Board of Alderman President William Notte has reported that the City of Rutland’s plans to welcome 100 Syrian Civil War refugees in the community are on hold.

The city had applied for a federal grant amounting to $9,000 per refugee but the U.S. State Department has put the funding program on hold.

Notte told reporters that State Department officials will contact the city in a few weeks regarding the plan.

The resettlement plan is on hold nationwide.

No further details are available.

At a meeting Aug. 30, as reported by Vermont Watchdog and the Vermont Eagle, Rutland First members expressed deep concerns over the potential economic impact and secrecy of a proposal to bring 100 Syrian refugees a year to the city.

Rutland First members and City Treasurer Wendy Wilton detailed how the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program and Mayor Christopher Louras have largely acted in secrecy until the announcement in April.

RUTLAND — Rutland First members expressed deep concerns over the potential economic impact and secrecy of a proposal to bring 100 Syrian refugees a year to the city.

At a presentation this week at the Rutland Free Library, they detailed how the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program and Mayor Christopher Louras have largely acted in secrecy until the announcement in April.

And they broke down how the economics don’t add up. “our immediate issue is Rutland is economically very poor, we don’t have a lot of jobs, housing is an issue here,” said Rutland Treasurer Wendy Wilton.

Rutland First is a grassroots citizen organization formed in response to the mayor’s surprise announcement in April.

Construction is underway at the north end of Creek Road in Middlebury with all sundry traffic turning delays coming to head at the intersection at Court Street (Route 7). Motorists coming to the intersection of Creek Road and Court Street, currently without a signal light, are at the mercy of Route 7’s unrelenting north and south traffic flow during daytime hours.

Helicopter spreads rye seeds in Addison County

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

EAST MIDDLEBURY— Virginia-based helicopter pilot Eugene “Gene” Kritter was the center of attention Aug. 31 when he trucked his U.S.-made Robinson R-44 helicopter on a trailer via U.S. Route 7 on the way to the Middlebury State Airport.

The Eagle met up with Kritter when he pulled off the highway for a coffee break at Middlebury Beef Supply, just prior to delivering the aircraft to the nearby airport.

“I am working in Addison County to spread crop seeds, working with agri-business Bourdeau Brothers of Middlebury,” he said.

The whirlybird seeding program is state funded, according to Kritter.

Kritter, a veteran pilot, is the owner of Kritter Cropdusting of Culpepper, Va. Eugene Kritter and his Robinson R-44 helicopter on a flatbed trailer while at a coffee break at Middlebury Beef Supply in East Middlebury.

700+ riders expected for Brush Ride

By Elizabeth Langfeldt

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — More than 700 riders are expected to ride in the 11th Annual Kelly Brush Ride powered by VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations, Sept. 10, in Middlebury.

Cyclists from across the country and Canada have signed up to ride and support the Kelly Brush Foundation’s mission to empower those living with paralysis through sport and recreation and to improve ski racing safety.

The ride, Vermont’s largest charity ride, last year raised more than $385,000 for the Kelly Brush Foundation, a South Burlington-based nonprofit.

“The excitement is building as we prepare for our eleventh Kelly Brush Ride.

We are always humbled by the fundraising efforts of the teams, individuals and, now, businesses that participate each year,” said Zeke Davisson, Kelly Brush Foundation executive director.

With the Kelly Brush Ride as its signature fundraising event, the Kelly Brush Foundation has raised more than $2.5 million, purchased more than 300 pieces of adaptive sports equipment and helped keep thousands of ski racers safe with hundreds of miles of safety netting, trail widening projects and awareness about LIKE US oN FACEBooK oR FoLLoW US oN TWITTER

ski racing safety.

Now in its fifth year as lead sponsor, VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations is honored to once again support the foundation, said Gregg Marston, chairman of VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations.

Fully-supported with water and food stops throughout, the ride offers gently rolling terrain with views of the Green Mountains to the east and Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains to the west over several distance options: 25, 50, 65, 85 or 100 miles. Riders and teams of riders compete to raise the most money with prizes for reaching fundraising goals. The ride ends with a tasty and festive barbecue.

The ride was started by the Middlebury College Ski Team in 2006 as a way to buy an adaptive monoski and handcycle for team member Kelly Brush, who was paralyzed as the result of a ski racing crash. The next year the ride was opened to the public, with proceeds used to support the foundation’s mission.

Survey: frustrated over high taxes, regulations

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — A new, non-scientific survey conducted this summer by Williston-based CPAs Davis and Hodgdon Associates and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce presents a somewhat gloomy picture of the local economy, at least from the perspective of Vermont’s small- to medium-sized business owners. over 180 businesses were surveyed statewide.

The survey is conducted semi-annually; the plus side of the recent survey shows business people are less pessimistic than they were in January when last surveyed.

“From this survey, it’s clear businesses are feeling the cumulative impact of increased taxes and mandates over the last several years and need to absorb these changes before adding more. This is consistent with voters putting the economy as their top issue in this election year,” Betsy Bishop, president of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, told the Eagle.

The survey revealed the following data: ”32 percent of Vermont businesses doing business outside the state believe the state’s economy is declining—compared to 51 percent previously; 18 percent feel it is improving (18 percent previously); and 47 percent see no change (23 percent previously). ”33 percent of businesses exclusive to Vermont believe the state’s economy is in decline (compared to 64 percent in January); 14 percent feel it is improving (compared to 8 percent previously) and 48 percent indicate there is no change (compared to 23 percent previously).”

The Chamber’s Bishop, with John Davis of Davis and Hodgdon Associates, said that when asked to describe today’s U.S. economy, respondents in both groups appeared more positive than

they did in January.

“Virtually the same percentage of businesses feel it is improving (35 percent in July, 34 percent in January), however only 21 percent believe it is declining (versus 30 percent in January), and 41 percent see no change at all versus 30 percent in January,” the survey noted.

Bishop added that, “What continues to be noteworthy within survey results is that even though 32 percent of respondents feel that the state’s economy is declining, 59 percent expect sales to increase, similar to the 54 percent who expected growth back in January. With that said, only 34 percent intend to increase hiring, and 39 percent intend to increase capital spending.”

Respondents identified the top three key issues facing their business as health insurance costs, Federal and State tax laws, and finding qualified employees.

“Since launching the semi-annual surveys in January 2012, I’ve noticed that the tone has been consistent among Vermont’s business owners. They are frustrated with the tax laws and business regulations and they want legislators to facilitate change. Many of the quotes captured in this recent survey express genuine concern for the future of the state’s economy and there’s clearly a strong desire to be heard,” said Davis.

Davis shared one survey respondent’s concerns: “We are currently considering out-of-state real estate purchases for our next move within the next 2-4 years. My overall tax burden will be reduced by more than 61 percent by leaving Vermont. That alone is the difference between a strong future plan and a risky future in Vermont.”

Year 2 of the SBAs

t’s Year 2 of the Smarter Balanced Assessments tests in Vermont— more or less.

Last week Vermont Secretary of Education Rebecca Holcombe released the statewide results of the 2015-16 Smarter Balanced Assessments, which included test scores in mathematics as well as English language arts.

These new tests are administered on computers.

And while it’s Year 2 SBA in the minds of parents, officials prefer to treat last year’s testing as a pilot.

Vermont’s 2016 math and language arts results reflect what’s termed “total proficient and above percentages,” however, today’s less rigorous definition of “proficient” is a far cry from the old-school sense of the word.

If you like, you can compare this year’s results to last year’s results, this being the second year the Smarter Balanced Assessments have been administered in Vermont—but as we already noted, officials would rather treat last year’s testing as more of a first-time test drive.

The Vermont tests, aligned with the national Common Core State Standards, were administered this past spring to students in grades 3 through 8 as well as grade 11 (grades 9 and 10 were not tested): Grade 3, 55.80 percent Grade 4, 49.89 percent Grade 5, 43.31 percent Grade 6, 40.94 percent Grade 7, 46.04 percent Grade 8, 43.87 percent Grade 11, 37.76 percent

Published by New Market Press, Inc.

Here are the English language arts total proficient and above percentages: Grade 3, 53.84 percent Grade 4 53.76 percent Grade 5, 58.16 percent Grade 6, 56.20 percent Grade 7, 57.57 percent Grade 8, 58.52 percent Grade 11, 57.2 percent “When we administered the Smarter Balanced tests for the first time last year, Vermont’s students and teachers had very little experience with taking tests on computer, Michael Hock, Agency of Education Test director said in a news statement. “For that reason we want to treat the 2014-15 administration as a pilot test, and use those results with considerable caution.”

Thus, Hock seemed to walk back the test scores just released—then, what’s to compare them with?

No matter, individual school data will be released during the week of Sept. 19.

So, for engaged parents and voters in the Eagle’s circulation area—in Addison and Rutland counties, as well as southern Chittenden County—you can study the data of your school, in detail, online when it’s released: http:// education.vermont.gov/data.

A renewed commitment to core academics in Vermont—math, science, reading and writing, and with less obsession on fashionable, politically correct distractions—would be the ideal, long-term result of the Smarter Balanced Assessments tests.

Fair, equitable treatment is elusive

T

he United States of America was built on the basic concept of providing fair and equitable treatment for her citizens.

The freedoms we enjoy today have been earned through trial and error but also through sacrifice and death. As a nation we have overcome much, but much still needs addressed. our nation has always shrived for an even playing field built on what is fair to all. But history has taught us there are always two sides to the argument of “what’s fair” and depending on which side of the argument you were on determined just how fair we really are.

If you were a black slave during the infancy of the nation and suffered at the hands of a hard task master this nation certainly didn’t seem very fair. Even after Lincoln freed the slaves and right into today many will argue the scales of justice are still not evenly balanced.

We take great pride in a judicial system that seeks a fair trial for all by a jury of their peers and a political system that deliberates over laws that seek to improve and perfect the inequities within the nation.

We currently find ourselves in the midst of several battles and the goal of fairness to all keeps coming up in nearly every discussion and issue we face. Far too many are questioning just what is fair.

The recent terror threats have some calling for us to close our borders to those of the Muslim faith when trying to enter the nation.

Many minorities do not believe they are treated fairly by law enforcement nor the courts.

We can’t even agree on what is a fair description of those who’ve entered and live in our nation without authorized paperwork. Some call them “undocumented immigrants” while other consider them “illegal aliens”. How will we ever arrive at a fair plan for them if we can’t even agree on the proper terminology for them.

Some women believe that men have far too much control in society and that an unfair divide exists in what they are paid for performing the same job in the workforce. Many entry level employees working for minimum wage are unDan Alexander able to provide for their basic necessities and beThoughts from lieve a higher wage is only Behind the Pressline fair.

Law bidding citizens are outraged that their second amendment rights are being threatened with every act of gun violence while families of those killed by guns cry out for stiffer gun controls.

Even presidential candidates and the President himself feel they are treated unfairly at times by the media and even by their own party.

Sports leagues like the NFL use Instant Replay to insure they get the calls right, but ask anyone who watches the games and they’ll tell you the calls are as unacceptable as ever. Perhaps even worse now then before instant replay.

In an imperfect world as much as we try, fairness is as elusive as ever. As the political pot goes into a rolling boil in the weeks ahead, let’s all recognize there are two sides to fairness. Try to see things from the other person’s perspective. The simple gift of tolerance goes along way to understanding each position and a little fairness is all any of us ask for in the small world we must share.

Letters Compliments the the chef To the editor: I moved away from the area a few years ago, but have recently returned to live—I hope for good—in Addison County. I picked up the Eagle after not reading it since 2013 and noticed quite a few changes. I like what I see; the Vermont Watchdog Report is excellent; no other newspaper covers these issues, such as the Rutland refugee debacle. I like the new website and the Facebook page always gets my attention with breaking news. Keep up the good work.

What would President Trump do?

To the Editor: Republicans seem to have different views when the wind shifts.

The newest bit of dumb talk centers on our country giving back $400 million that belonged to Iran dating back to President Reagan’s Executive order to do so.

If President obama didn’t get back five Americans held in Iran after the exchange of their money, Republicans would be screaming that he left them� Since our President held back on returning their money until they returned our citizens, Republicans are now saying we paid ransom.

Call it what you like but the facts are the money belonged to Iran and the hostages are now free. I would guess the families of those held hostage could care less how they were released�

I have to ask, “What would President Trump do” if he were in the same position?

Now Trump is going after the Clinton Foundation that has spent millions saving lives and taking care of those less fortunate. This is a message from him and Republicans that they don’t carry the Christian values they espouse to have.

The Clinton Foundation has a record of spending that supports its purpose of helping to relieve the pain and suffering for many.

As a Christian, I support any organization that helps those who need help.

The Republican message rings hollow when it comes to caring not only for Americans but for those in the world who through no fault of their own need help.

Trump now has new campaign coordinators who are tempering his outlandish outbreaks of insanity by writing on a teleprompter what he should say.

Do these people believe the American public is stupid?

Trump has his supporters and they will be with him to the end no matter what he says or does. These are people who care about no one but themselves and who would have fallen in with Hitler. All one has to do is watch the faces of Trump’s followers as he spews out hate in his speeches.

I can assure every one that I won’t be holding my nose when I vote for Hillary Clinton as she has shown more Christian values than most who call themselves Christians.

Vermont Tree Goods: New life for heirloom trees

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

BRISToL — A new furniture business in downtown Bristol is getting a lot of attention in the upscale, handcrafted furniture and architectural materials market in Vermont.

What sets Vermont Tree Goods—with an alluring showroom located at 27 Main St. in Bristol—apart from other local, natural furniture retailers, is the fact that it mills its own lumber and creates furniture from so-called heirloom trees that stand, unnoticed, in many of our fields and woodlands.

Vermont Tree Goods does not cut down living trees; instead, it harvests deceased trees that have viable wood, usually on a mature scale. “our approach to making products is simple–less is more,” said Tai Dinnan, director of sales and marketing of Vermont Tree Goods. “The less wood has to be worked, the more its natural beauty can be preserved. In the tradition of George Nakashima, we are drawn to saving the natural or live edge of the trees we mill. This live edge gives our furniture a soft natural feel.”

Nakashima’s organic philosophy and respectful spirit of woodworking is at the heart of Vermont Tree Goods. The world-renown Pennsylvania artisan is celebrated for creating exquisite furniture from richly grained, rare timber.

Like Nakashima, woodworker John Monks, the owner of Vermont Tree Goods, handcrafts tables, beds, and architectural accessories. And like Nakashima, Monks finds an ideal use for each plank of heirloom wood “to create an object of utility to man and, if nature smiles, an object of lasting beauty.”

Monks started Vermont Tree Goods last year and has an artist’s eye for exotic wood sources that are right in front of us. Even the business’ graphic logo—a silhouetted, ancient maple tree—is identifiable to locals who drive Plank Road in Bristol.

“We are fortunate to be based in Vermont, which has a tremendous variety of hardwood species,” according to Monks.

“Each has its own wide range of unique and beautiful characteristics, some of which are only to be found in the fully matured trees with which we work.”

Monks begins furniture making with the initial milling of the log.

“We’ve developed an eye for reading logs before they are placed on the mill, which has a tremendous impact on the shape and character of the lumber produced,” he said. “Rotating a log just a few degrees on the mill can make quite a difference on the furniture produced. We align wood in a manner that is harmonious and insightful.”

Monks selected trees tend to be large—even by New England woodland standards.

Most of the furniture Vermont Tree Goods offers is derived from single pieces of wood, which make the product line all

the more stunning and one-of-a-kind.

According to Dinnan, “Through the transformation into furniture these magnificent beings (trees) extend their legacy by living on in your home or business.”

What you see is what you get and what you get is exquisite—the wood is not glued together from pieces of other woods as you see frequently in other competitive furniture.

“By milling all of our own lumber, we are able to unlock the hidden gifts that these trees have often taken more than a century to grow,” Monks said.

“The beauty and character of the lumber we use is found only deep within such trees,” Dinnon added. “We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be able to work this amazing material into beautiful furniture.”

Monks works in a mill located just north of town. The facility is large and can accommodate the big, raw wood selections stacked to be milled.

Always looking for venerable hardwood trees to harvest and mill, Monks has visited many residences around the region, even making furniture from a family’s favorite old backyard tree that, sadly, had to come down.

Next month, Monks will harvest what had been the largest living elm tree in New England; the specimen is located near Thompson’s Point Road in Charlotte.

While the Charlotte elm is now dead—perhaps growing for as many as 300 years— Monks will give it new life, to be manufactured into beautiful furniture.

The old elm died of a fungus infection known as Dutch elm disease; the “skeleton” of the tree is simply too large to move—thus enters John Monks and his Vermont Tree Goods crew.

“With an old tree like this, anything is possible,” Monks said, already envisioning what secret natural features may lurk in the wood.

“This will be the largest tree our business has ever milled to date; no two slabs of this elm will be the same,” he said.

Check It out: You can visit the Vermont Tree Goods showroom, located at 27 Main St. in downtown Bristol across from National Bank of Middlebury, Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and by appointment. For more information, call 802-453–4544. If you have heirloom tree for John Monks, e-mail him at mail info@ver montt reego o ds. com. Monks’ beautiful, oneof-a-kind heirloom cutting boards can be purchased at the showroom or online at VermontTreeGoods.com.

Local students complete summer internships

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — Typically, college internships are field experiences designed to provide a student with a unique learning opportunity, in an area of interest, under collaborative supervision.

In the case of local students enrolled at Colby-Sawyer College in New Hampshire, time spent working as interns with their worksite professionals was fun, challenging, and conveniently close to home.

The following students in the Eagle’s circulation area, enrolled at Colby-Sawyer completed internships in the region: Megan Ashley, a creative writing and member of the class of 2017 from Middlebury, completed Colby-Sawyer College’s internship requirement with WomenSafe in Middlebury.

Cody Gendreau, a multidisciplinary studies and member of the class of 2017 from Salisbury, completed Colby-Sawyer College’s internship requirement with Middlebury College.

Nicole Morris, a exercise science and member of the class of 2017 from Salisbury, completed Colby-Sawyer College’s internship requirement with MoST Physical Therapy in Ticonderoga.

Taylor o’Bryan, a sport management and member of the class of 2017 from Lincoln, completed Colby-Sawyer College’s internship requirement with the Parisi Speed School, youth sport performance training facility, in Williston.

According to Erica Bradley, a former Sawyer-Colby intern, an good internship experience will last a lifetime.

“The best piece of advice I can give to anyone about to start an internship is this: keep an open mind and look at everything as a learning experience... If you can remember that, then I truly believe you will have a great time with your internship,” she said.

It formed in mid-May and has been conducting research and engaging the public since then.

Wilton said that based on the economic results of comparable existing refugee programs in the Northeast, property taxes for Rutland could go up by as much as 35 percent in five years.

For example, Burlington’s school budget from 2008 to 2016 doubled, from $42 million to $84 million, largely because of rapidly expanded English Language Learner programs.

David o’Brien, former executive director of the Rutland Economic Development Corporation, said the city is in an economic downturn. According to 2014 U.S. Census Bureau numbers, 52 percent of residents’ income is from wages and salary, with almost a third from public assistance. A decade earlier those numbers were 23 percent from public assistance and 60 percent from wages and salary.

Aside from the substantive concerns about economics, members are also unhappy about the secrecy surrounding the process.

E-mails between the mayor, VRRP and others from the months before the April announcement, released via a Freedom of Information Act request by Rutland First, reveal a policy of deliberate secrecy.

“I want to share with you the concern my headquarters has about holding a public forum,” VRRP Director Amila Merdzanovic wrote to the mayor. “If we open it up to anybody and everybody, all sorts of people will come out of the woodwork.

Anti-immigrant, anti-anything.”

Wilton alleged that Louras and VRRP likely violated required procedures in its application process to the Department of State by not involving the public and the Board of Alderman.

Wilton said the Department of State requires that “Participants shall include, at minimum, representation from … local governance.” The rules go on to say there must be a letter of support from the proposed site’s governing entity; Rutland’s Board of Aldermen wrote a letter disapproving of the initiative.

“They failed to meet the criteria under two items which I have noted,” Wilton wrote in an e-mail to Vermont Watchdog. “The Board of Aldermen was not asked to participate in

community discussions regarding capacity, nor invited to the other stakeholder discussions. They certainly were not asked to provide a letter of support.”

She added that neither the public nor the aldermen have been allowed to the see VRRP’s application.

In response to requests to see the application, VRRP issued a statement saying “this is a competitive process open to any non-profit organization that feels they have a national capacity to resettle refugees. As such, our proposal is a proprietary document which we do not share publicly.”

Wilton does not accept that Rutland treasurer Wendy Wilton talked about concerns ranging from economics to safety to housing during a answer.

Helicopter Pilot From page 1

Man refuses breathalizer

BRIDPoRT — on Aug. 26, at approximately 4:49 p.m., the Vermont State Police responded to a two car, head on motor vehicle crash on Middle Road in the Town of Bridport.

Upon arrival, troopers located a heavily damaged, overturned truck in a field.

Following the investigation the operator, Joshua Clark, 23, was screened for DUI. Clark, a resident of Tennessee, refused to provide a preliminary breath test and was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence.

Clark was transported to the New Haven barracks for processing, and released with a citation to appear in Addison County Criminal Court.

Additional charges are pending following the crash investigation.

“The switch from airplane to helicopter seeding, locally, occurred in 2008,” Kritter told the Eagle.

According to Skip Cray, manager of Bourdeau Brothers, the pilot’s mission locally is to seed winter rye over standing corn.

“He’s really helping our farmers get an early start especially in corn fields on area flood plains,” Cray said. ”Gene is seeding farms here in Addison County and in Franklin County—10 farms here and six farms up north. This includes several 1,000 acres right here in Addison County.

When it comes to seeding, Cray said helicopter are flexible than fixed wing aircraft. Whirlybirds can hover over spots on farms that are tougher to reach by an airplane.

“Gene hangs a hopper-spreader, by cables, under the fuselage,” Cray noted. “With this device, he doesn’t even have to land to fill it; he simply hovers over a truck out in the field and then fills up the spreader with seed.”

Cray said that Bourdeau Brothers has worked with Kritter for nearly a decade.

“Last summer, during the rains, Gene used the helicopter to apply urea on local cornfields,” Cray said.

Cray said that Kritter may conduct a flying/seeding demonstration for Bourdeau Brothers customers in Middlebury on Sept. 8, but the event is not definite.

Meantime, Kritter put on a flying demonstration for 200 attendees at a Bourdeau’s “field days” customer event held in Franklin County Aug. 31.

This year, Kritter said he that he will have used his Robinson rotorcraft to cast rye seeds over approximately 15,000 acres in Vermont, Virginia and Maryland.

Foster Motors receives FCA Award of Excellence Local business

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — Foster Motors, a FCA-

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles sales and service business in Middlebury, is among the crème de la crème of FCA auto and truck dealerships to be honored by the international car manufacturer with its 2016 Customer First Award for Excellence.

“By achieving this elite status, Foster Motors will be recognized by consumers as leaders in customer sales and service experience,” according to FCA corporate spokesperson Berj Alexanian. “FCA U.S. created the Customer First Award for Excellence with its dealer partners and J.D. Power to elevate customer satisfaction with the dealerships with a specific focus on the sales and service experience, employee training and facility condition.”

According to Scott Foster of Foster Motors, dealers in the initial group completed all of the required program goals from Jan. 1 to June 30. A second group of award winners will be announced in early 2017 when they complete their certification requirements, he said.

“We are extremely impressed with the accomplishments of Foster Motors, and all these 124 dealerships, have been able to achieve in a short amount of time,” said Al Gardner, head of FCA’s network development in North

America. “We gave our dealer body the challenge to join us in focusing on increasing our customer satisfaction, loyalty and service retention and through the core pillars of this initiative, these dealers have shown that it’s achievable. These dealerships will be able to proudly differentiate themselves as elite stores by being winners of the inaugural Customer First Award for Excellence.”

All 2,600 FCA dealerships in North America were eligible to pursue and earn the inaugural award certification.

Dealers had to achieve their business goals in five core areas to earn the award, according to Foster: Facility, customer processes, performance, employee surveying, and training certification. Foster also noted that dealership personnel must meet minimum training requirements for sales, service, parts and technical staffing.

FCA U.S. officials visited Middlebury to present Foster Motor officials with the award.
