MT. HOLLY — It all sounds idyllic: buy an historic Ver-mont general store out in the country, meet new friends, andkeep warm next to a potbelly stove during the wintermonths. It’s the stuff our collective “Mayberry RFD” dreamsare made of, right? Sure, except for the part about hardwork, balancing a business budget, surviving a nasty sum-mer flood, and not relying on local skiers without much ofa winter to speak of.

Kevin and Debby Neubert, the new owners of the BelmontGeneral Store, are living the “Mayberry RFD” lifestyle oth-ers only imagine in day dreams.

The couple isn’t looking back on their lives BGS—that is,Before the General Store. And they certainly wouldn’t tradetheir lives with anyone else. They say operating a countrystore is indeed romantic, but it’s also a lot tougher than itlooks to the casual observer.

See NEUBERT, page 11

Kevin and Debby Neubert are owners of the Belmont General Store in Mt. Holly, Vt.

RUTLAND — In an unfortunate turn of events,"An Evening with Captain Sig and Crew of 'Dead-liest Catch'" event, originally scheduled for May12 at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Rut-land, was cancelled.

Now ticket holders with tickets from the May12 date are afforded a four-week period startingJune 7 in which they can either choose to returntheir tickets for a complete refund or retain them

for the replacement date.After this period, refunds will not be offered. If

current ticket holders would like instead to im-mediately surrender their seat(s) and obtain a re-fund, they are to contact the Paramount TheatreBox Office by calling 802 775-0903 during normalbusiness hours.

For current ticket holders who wish to retaintheir seats, no further action is required; tickets

for the originally scheduled date will be honoredat the new date.

Due to a sudden change in production sched-ules and an event that the Discovery Channel (theproducers of the hit T.V. show) would like to cap-ture on film, Sig and his crew are not able to ful-fill their touring obligations at this time.

Theater management is working closely withthe artists’ management to secure a new date.

SHADOW - 7 year old. Spayed Female. Schipperke. I am a lively, independent dog who has been living in a busy family with children and another dog for the past 5 years. I was sur-rendered here on June 2 because my family lost their housing due to Hurricane Irene and has not been able to fi nd permanent housing that accepts dogs. I am a cheerful gal and will be likely to get along with other pets in a home but have a bit of a reputation of chasing things (the staff here sees me chase fl ies a lot) so a home with a fenced in yard would be splendid.SOLO - 1 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Gray. Hello there. I am looking to hop right into someone’s lap and their heart. I could spend the whole day curled up in your lap just watching the world go by. But don’t get me wrong, I am a lot of fun as well. I arrived at RCHS as a stray on May 31. I am really glad someone found me and brought me in and in my new home I would like to stay inside only please. Come on down and visit me today - I know you will love me.ROSIE - 3 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Medium Hair Orange. I am a petite little girl who is a little bit nervous in new situations. I came into RCHS with my Brother Gizzy. We were surrendered because there were too many animals in our old home. In our old home we were inside only kitties and we would like to stay that way - the outside has too many scary things for us to encounter. If you are looking for a pair of kitties to add to your household we would love to come live with you.DAISY - 1 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Calico. I am a fun loving girl with a large personality. I love to sit on your lap and I love to play - what could be better than that? I arrived at RCHS as a stray on May 30. I have a couple little bumps in my tail to add to my cuteness. I am now sharing living space with other kitties and seem to be doing just fi ne so a companion would be nice in my new home.

Christian relics on display in RutlandBy Lou [email protected]

RUTLAND — Christ the King Church in Rutland begana rare exhibit of sacred Christian relics at the church start-ing June 26.

The presentation, by Fr. Carlos Martine of the Compan-ions of the Cross, includes over 150 relics, some believed tobe as old as 2,000 years.

The relics include one of the world’s largest remainingpiece of the so-called True Cross, a piece of a veil that is be-lieved to have belonged to Mary, the mother of Jesus, andrelics of Saints Maria Goretti, Theresa of Lisieux, and Fran-cis of Assisi.

Most archeologists do not believe that the True Cross andother relics are authentic, however, many Christians believein the historicity of these sacred objects based on faith andchurch tradition. A relic of the so-called True Cross will be one of the artifacts on display

at Christ the King Church in Rutland starting June 26.

From the Editor

Happy Trails to youOrganizers of the blue-blazed

North Country Trail—a magnif-icent national scenic trail,

which traverses east to west and ends inthe high prairie of central North Dakota,near the Missouri River—are seeking aVermont connection. We like the plan andthink it’s well worth getting behind theeffort.

The dream of this 4,600-mile-longnorthern hiking trail began in the mid1960s. And in 1971, a combined federal-state task force was assembled to studythe feasibility of the North Country Trail.David Schonck, Bob Martin and TomGilbert of Michigan spearheaded the con-cept. Gilbert became the first (and cur-rent) superintendent of the North Coun-try National Scenic Trail for the NationalPark Service and he deserves a lion shareof the credit.

Finally, after many years of planning,Congress passed legislation authorizingthe North Country National Scenic Trailon March 5, 1980.

The North Country Trail is often com-pared to the Appalachian Trail, but truthbe told, this northern-tier trail began onpaper long before the National Trails Sys-tem Act of 1968, which established theAppalachian and Pacific Crest NationalScenic Trails as the nation’s first hikingtrails.

Building a hiking trail on this scaletakes time, human labor and lots of mon-ey. Various sections of the North CountryTrail have already been completed, no-tably in the Great Lakes region, but muchmore needs to done in Ohio, Pennsylva-nia and New York.

This greatest of national hiking trailsstarts officially at the stone walls of theold British fort at Crown Point, N.Y. Iron-ically, the original plan included Vermontat that start, but it fell by the way sideonly until recently.

Of course, you’d be hard pressed tofind the actual North Country Trail inCrown Point; it’s not there—yet. Unfortu-nately, as you move west of Crown PointState Park in the Empire State, the NorthCountry Trail is still in the planningstages.

A considerable amount of volunteertrail work needs to be done in New York,so completion of the footpath is yearsaway. But that’s no reason to lose steamover the New York section or its proposedVermont connection.

In the past few years, some trail offi-cials and hiking advocates have returnedto the notion of extending the NorthCountry Trail into Vermont via AddisonCounty. The county would be the gate-way for the trail to link it with the LongTrail and Appalachian Trail.

Making Vermont part of the NorthCountry Trail is an exciting plan; if thetrail eventually enters Addison County, itwould be a fine asset for the local econo-my garnering national attention along theway, too.

And towns along the path would be-come destinations for future hikers look-ing for lodging and trail supplies.

This so-called Vermont connection in-cludes the new Lake Champlain Bridge’spedestrian walkway plus 10 miles ormore of private land in Addison County;this includes land owned by the Middle-bury Land Trust.

The trail would also include a sectionof the Trail Around Middlebury, or TAM,completed in 1999. Other side trails in theGreen Mountain Forest would becomepart of the North Country Trail, too, as itmakes its way to join the Long Trail alongthe crest of the Green Mountain ridge.

Two years ago, the Middlebury AreaLand Trust agreed with the National ParkService to study the idea. As far as weknow, it’s still being studied. Congresswill also have to ok the plan, at some fu-ture date.

It’s hard to be optimistic about the fateof a new national hiking trail, especiallyin these austere times with a Greek-likefinancial crisis looming on our collectivehorizon. But if the Vermont section of theNorth Country Trail gets the nod from theboys and girls in the U.S. House, it willbe a jewel in the crown for local commu-nities and the entire Green MountainState. And that means happy trails to youand me.

SCOTUS decision fallout may get uglyTo the editor:A leading leftist political group, Health Care for America Now, is mapping out a full bore media cam-

paign to either celebrate or denounce the coming U.S. Supreme Court decision in the ObamaCare case,expected sometime in June.

In the event – more likely than not, in my opinion - that the Court gives ObamaCare a serious hit, thiscampaign will ignore the constitutional basis of the decision and instead attack justices, Republicans, TeaParties, free market think tanks, insurance companies (who supported ObamaCare), and a long list of vil-lains who are not supportive of government run health care.

In some states... this could get ugly. John McClaughryEthan Allen Institute

RUTLAND — This year's spectacular Studebaker-Avanti Car Show was held, June 23, in Rutland. The Avan-ti Club and Antique Studebaker Club, Tri-Spokes Chap-ter, hosted the event behind the Holiday Inn.

Ultra-luxe Avanti cars were in the spotlight at the week-end car show along with other Studebaker cars includingthe popular compact Lark model of the 1960s.

The 1920s through 1960s-era Studebaker vehicles ondisplay were all classically crafted motor cars.

In the case of the stylish Avanti sports car, designed byuber-designer Raymond Loewy—known for his art-decocommercial masterpieces of the 1930s—Studebaker wasahead of the curve with its Euro approach to car making.

According to Bob Barnes of Washington, D.C., a 2006Studebaker Avanti owner, the car is still being manufac-tured—however, not by Studebaker. Today, the car ismade in limited numbers for a select group of well-heeledmotor enthusiasts just like Barnes. Also, replicar kits helpkeep the spirit of the Avanti alive.

“I love all Studebakers but I think the Avanti remainsthe sharpest car ever built by the car company—or anyother car company, for that matter,” Barnes said. “Ray-mond Loewy elevated this car from something pedestri-an to something elegant and artistic.”

Fred and Polly Fortune of Richmond, Vt., displayedtheir regal, candy red, 1931 straight-8 Studebaker Dicta-tor which they drove from Vermont to Mexico City in1995.

“Ours was the only car of its kind in the ‘95 Great Amer-ican Race,” said Fred Fortune. “We drove it 4,500 miles in15 days from Vermont to Mexico, and back again.”

Polly For-tune loved therace and espe-cially enjoyedthe car ’s rum-ble seat.

“It’s com-fortable, but itonly lookseasy to climbin and out of,”she said.

The Stude-baker name-plate lasteduntil the 1966model year,according tothe Fortunes.These nifty Indiana-made cars and trucks vanished all tooquickly from the auto scene, victims of poor businessmanagement—sadly, an all too common story in the U.S.car industry.

Over 200 car and truck enthusiasts stopped by the Rut-land show to enjoy another glimpse at an American icon—the late, great Studebaker automobile.

SPRINGFIELD — Senior Solutions of Springfield createdthe Foxy Fund three years ago in response to a memorial do-nation from a generous client. The fund reimburses unex-pected critical expenses for companion animals of elders,such as a veterinarian visit or short-term medication. Unfor-tunately, according to organizers, the fund has been deplet-ed due to numerous requests.

The Foxy Fund helps elders or a shut-ins living in isola-tion but with a pet; animalsprovide the connection andsolace, and sometimes evenhelp to heal physical or emo-tional wounds.

Senior Solutions case man-ager Pam Halme sees first-hand the impact of the FoxyFund and has asked the pub-lic to help in any way theycan.

“For example, we just gaveassistance,” Hamle said, “toa blind woman whose servicedog had an injury to its paw

and she could not afford to get the care. She was very de-pendent on this dog.”

Without additional funds, the Foxy Fund will be able tohelp Springfield area shut ins and seniors like Hamle’s ex-ample.

Hamle said contributions to the Foxy Fund may be mailedto Senior Solutions, 56 Main St., Suite 202, Springfield, Vt.05156 or call Joyce Lemire at 885-2655 for details.

#House conferees proposed a change to the Senate mapwhich would break up the current configuration of six sen-ators representing Chittenden County into two, three-mem-ber districts.

One new three-member district would be comprised ofBurlington, South Burlington and Winooski.

While the remaining towns in Chittenden County wouldmake up the other district, excluding Huntington (whichwould be moved into Addison County) and Bolton (whichwould be located in Washington County).

State Rep Ron Hubert (R-Milton) said, “The main reason Ibrought this proposal forward was an attempt to repair thelongstanding problem of having the largest single Senatedistrict in the country. While at the same time this will givemore equal and fair representation to all residents of Chit-tenden County.

Hubert said the timing for the map discussion is ideal.State Sen. Hinda Miller (D-Burlington), a ten-year incum-bent, has recently announced that she will not be seeking re-election, Senate action will not displace an incumbent sena-tor, he said.

Vermont House Republican leader Don Turner of Miltonsaid, “I firmly believe that the Senate should accept the mapas passed by the House, however, since it has become appar-ent that the Senate is determined to make changes I feel that

we are obligated to put forth a plan that ensures that all Ver-monters receive fair representation in both the House andSenate for the next decade. The maps that we have proposedwill accomplish this goal.”

Report:Businessmissinghealth-caretax creditsFrom Staff & News Reports

MONPELIER – Vermontsmall businesses may bemissing out on $45,644,000annually in health care taxcredits available under thefederal Affordable Care Act(ACA) according to a new re-port released by FamiliesUSA and the Small BusinessMajority.

The ACA provides for fed-eral tax credits for smallbusinesses with fewer than25 full time employees andaverage annual wages of lessthan $50,000.

The report estimates thatin 2011 Vermont had approx-imately 10,350 small busi-nesses eligible for the credit,employing 47,200 workers.The average credit per work-er is estimated to be $966 an-nually.

To qualify for the tax cred-it, the small business mustpay for at least 50 percent ofthe employee’s health insur-ance premiums. The taxcredit is worth up to 35 per-cent of the cost of the healthinsurance, increasing to 50percent in 2014 when theHealth Insurance Exchangeis up and running.

Premium tax credits areavailable for income up to400 percent of the federalpoverty level (FPL) and cost-sharing subsidies are avail-able up to 250 percent.

Approximately 400 per-cent FPL is $92,000 a year fora family of four and $45,000for an individual.

Vermont businesscarries health care burdenThe health care reform proposal that is the center-

piece of the Shumlin administration’s legislativeagenda is developing stress fractures that could

bring the whole experiment to a crashing end, but legisla-tors continue to press on, ignoring the signals.

The governor first promised that his reform would cre-ate a “robust marketplace” in which Vermonters wouldfind multiple options from which to choose. The key to thenew system is Vermont’s health care exchange, envisionedas an Internet-based clearinghouse similar to the populartravel discount websites where competing offers appearside-by-side for easy comparison. Then the administrationpromised $500 million in cost savings; yet now they sug-gest the best they can do is to bend the cost curve aban-doning real cost savings.

It’s widely understood that Vermont must establish ahealth care exchange as mandated by the controversial fed-eral health care legislation, currently under scrutiny by theSupreme Court. But the problem with Vermont’s proposedhealth care exchange is that it requires small businesseswith 50 or fewer employees to purchase insurance onlyfrom within Vermont’s exchange. The only choice availablewill be to determine how much the purchaser of the insur-ance is willing to spend out of their pocket — not a com-

parison of coverage provided by multiple providers. Andby the administration’s own admission, health insurancepremiums will increase by at least 16 percent.

Earlier this session, the governor suggested that bigbusiness (those employing more than 100 employees) wereso sufficiently worried about the lack of choice and in-creased cost that they should be excused from the man-date. The proposed Vermont exchange more dramaticallylimits insurance choice than that envisioned by the federallaw or contemplated by any other state. The legislationalso exempts public teachers and state employees repre-senting roughly 40,000 citizens.

So what’s the rationale for this? Public union employeesenjoy extremely generous insurance plans that wouldn’tqualify under the new system. These employees would endup paying higher premiums for lower quality insurance, sothey got an exemption. Big business warned that the gov-ernor ’s program would increase their insurance costs, lim-it their employee’s choices and damage their competitive-ness, so they got an exemption, too.

Some legislative proponents have argued that the feder-al law mandates small businesses be forced into the ex-change. But this is flatly untrue. In fact, the federal lawspecifies very clearly that participation in the exchangescan be voluntary.

If the Vermont health care exchange is supposed to bethe greatest thing since sliced bread, why does Montpelierintend to mandate it only on individuals and small busi-nesses, but give public unions and big businesses a choice?

Why are lawmakers repealing Catamount Health Carebut not the employer assessment that funds the program?

And why will they eliminate the ability for insurancebrokers and agents to be paid for their services? After all,we’ll only save $10-20 million dollars in a system thatcosts $5 billion dollars.

Ninety-six percent of Vermont’s businesses are smallbusiness — insurance agents and brokers are small busi-nesses themselves and provide a valuable service to small

businesses across Vermont.NFIB members overwhelmingly support a system that

allows for the option to purchase insurance from insideand from outside Vermont’s exchange, so that they cancompare and contrast benefits and price. Mandating citi-zens to purchase their health insurance only from withinthe Vermont health care exchange is not choice.

The health care reform solution shouldn’t pick winnersand losers. If Vermont is going to implement its own ex-change, it should offer a robust set of choices and partici-pation should be optional for everyone, not just a few fa-vored groups.

Congratulations to big business and public unions fortheir legislative success — they’ll continue to be permittedto compare benefits and prices. There is still time forMontpelier to level the playing field for all its citizens —but will they?

SHELBURNE — Elsa Bosma wasn’t sure what to think whenAmerican Federation of Teachers representatives showed up ather home child-care business espousing the benefits of union-ization.

The teachers union encouraged her to sign a card, supposed-ly to get more information about health insurance and otherbenefits that would be available if child care workers becameunionized.

Bosma signed the card, like many other child care providersacross the Green Mountain State. They didn’t realize it was aunion scheme to gather signatures in support of the AFT as thesole bargaining agent for the state's child-care providers.

The AFT has pursued similar unionization efforts with childcare providers in Michigan, Minnesota, and other states as away to boost its declining membership and dues revenue.

"We were told it was for more information, but we heard sub-sequently these cards were used to show support for unioniza-tion," Bosmasaid. "We asked to get our cards back and the AFTsaid we would have to come and look though the hundreds orthousands of cards they collected and find them ourselves."

Perhaps union officials should have given her a more satis-factory response. They had no way of knowing they were fir-ing up a woman who would play a huge role in defeating theirattempt to unionize child care providers in Vermont.

During Vermont’s 2010 legislative session, a bill to authorizea unionization vote for the state’s child care providers passedthe House, but didn't become law.

If a unionization vote succeed, every child care worker in thestate would have been forced into the AFT, and forced into pay-ing hundreds per year in dues.

For Bosma, that was a troubling proposition.She researched the AFT’s proposal. There was no health in-

surance or other benefits to be gained. All the union seemed toprovide were vague references to "a stronger voice" for childcare workers in state politics. And that privilege likely wouldcost between $500 and $700 in dues per year.

"I think there is an ulterior motive. I think they are trying toincrease their membership, and it’s a financial gain," she said."If they really are about us – and there are so many of us thatdon’t want this – they would make it voluntary."

Bosma reached out to her colleagues across Vermont. Shegathered e-mail addresses from the state’s child care providerwebsite and sent a message out to about 1,000 peers, express-ing her concerns about the AFT.

With the AFT as the exclusive representative for child-careproviders, independent small business owners like Bosmawould lose their individual voice on topics like professional de-velopment, grievances, and state subsidy negotiations, she ex-plained.

Many child care providers would end up making less mon-ey if they joined the AFT because of the dues, she said.

"I just got an overwhelming response from people who said‘I feel the same way, what can we do?’" Bosma said. "I saw theneed for someone to speak up. I kind of became the spokesper-son for our group."

Last fall, Bosma formed "No Childcare Union in Vermont"and began to rally her supporters against the AFT, which shedescribes in a recent Vermont editorial as "a Goliath with un-limited money and an army of lobbyists."

"So I went to work polling and forming an email list of thoseagainst the union, generated an online petition, started a Face-book page and created a website," Bosma wrote. "I created andordered buttons, manned a table at the Early Childhood Daysat the Legislature, and co-organized multiple community fo-rums with local senators."

During Vermont’s 2011 legislative session, the bill to author-ize a union vote for child-care providers "was one of the hottest

debated bills," Bosma said.No Childcare Union in Ver-

mont contacted senators andlobbied against the legislation.Bosma also encouraged indi-vidual child care providersand parents to speak out, andtheir voices were heard, shesaid.

"Last year it made it throughthe House, but that was beforewe knew about it," Bosmasaid. "The AFT and a numberof senators tried to attach it to multiple bills" this year in thestate Senate, without success. "They decided not to vote on it,"Bosma said.

Bosma is not taking her victory for granted. No ChildcareUnion in Vermont is gearing up for the next legislative session,when Bosma expects the AFT will continue to push its agenda.

"I anticipate they are going to be back with guns blazing, andso are we," Bosma said

#The political success of No Childcare Union in Vermont at-tracted the attention of child-care providers in other states alsofighting the AFT, and a broader movement to halt unnecessaryunionization may be blossoming, Bosma said.

"Through Facebook, they’ve reached out to me – providers inMichigan and Minnesota – and we’ve kind of joined forces be-hind the scenes," she said.

Bosma said the experience has taught her some valuable les-sons about the true priorities of teachers unions, and how mo-tivated citizens can counter their massive lobbying budgetswith their own voices in the political process.

"I hope I empowered other providers to reach out and usetheir voice. I think a lot of people gained a lot of confidence byspeaking out," she said.

“After a challenging first fall and winter, we are celebrating our first year as new owners,”said Debby. “On June 13, we began the day with a cake-cutting ceremony in the store.”

Cheerful customers and several VIPs were on hand to toast the couple and add their neigh-borly support. Jim Harrison, president of the Vermont Grocers Association and Vermont StateRep. Dennis Devereux were in attendance.

Celebrating their business anniversary, the Neuberts are thankful for a good first year de-spite all the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune thrown their way. The Neuberts lookback on one of the most challenging years in Vermont and they are grateful for the unques-tioning support of the Mount Holly community.

“In a year when general stores in the state are closing their doors due to economic issues,the Town of Mount Holly and the Village of Belmont have embraced its general store. Theyhave supported the transition of ownership with open arms, too,” said Kevin. “We were ableto survive Tropical Storm Irene, poor fall foliage, and a bad winter.” The Neuberts certainlydidn’t go it alone. The rest of Mt. Holly experienced the same man-made and natural disas-ters of 2011.
