Letter to editor,Bears are exiting their winter dens, so it’s the perfect timefor Protect Our Wildlife’s new bear report titled, “VermontBlack Bears and How to Effectively Manage Conflict” thatcan be found on their website. The report is the product of afive-month-long project launched by an EnvironmentalSciences student at the University of Vermont and was overseenby Protect Our Wildlife. Contributors to the report alsoinclude a Stowe, VT resident with a Ph.D. in microbiologyand molecular genetics with post-doctoral research experiencefrom Harvard Medical School, as well as an ecologist, andother experts with varied backgrounds.The report touches on a number of matters from possiblereasons why there was such a dramatic increase in bear complaintsreported to VT Fish & Wildlife in 2020 to simplethings we can each do to prevent bear conflicts from happeningin the first place. One easy thing we can do right now isbring in our bird feeders for the season. Taking bird feeders inat night isn’t sufficient, since spilled seed on the ground willThe Battle of Algiers (1965)The Algerians fought a notoriously brutal war of liberationfrom 1954 to 1962.Leftists Westerners at the time romanticized theAlgerians, wanting to believe that they were fighting for liberty,equality, or even Marxism. They weren’t. The primaryinspiration for the war was well-deserved hatred of theirFrench colonial oppressors.Early in “The Battle of Algiers,” young Arab Ali La Pointegets tripped by a French jerk while running away from thecops. Another French jerk laughs in his face. Ali La Pointeshocks us and the Frenchmen by punching the laughing manright in the jaw.To director Gillo Pontecorvo, this is the unvarnished truthbehind the Algerian Revolution. It was essentially a vile bullybeing punched in the face by a vicious kid who could no longertake the abuse. No good guys, no idealism, and no mercy.The 130 years of French colonial rule in Algeria was awful.The French mined Algeria bare and kept the loot. White plantationowners grabbed the best farmland and grew grapes toimport to Europe. The Algerians were left with the worst landand the worst jobs.Colonial Algeria was not profitable for the French, by theway. The average Frenchman had to pay for the soldiers andpolice that kept the colony in line.In French Algeria, the French people lost, the Algerianpeople lost big time, and a handful of juiced-in businessmengot super rich. That is globalization in a nutshell.Gillo Pontecorvo shows us how the revolutionary violenceescalated with unflinching realism.First, the National Liberation Front (FLN) guerillas assassinatedFrench police and stole their guns.The French responded by putting checkpoints all overAlgiers and frisking all the men who wanted to pass into thewhite part of town. The FLN worked around this by enlistingwomen and children and using terrorist time bombs toattract hungry bears who possess a superior sense of smell.The 2020 bear hunt produced a record 921 bears killed,with half being female. Vermont’s bear hunt is one of thelongest in the country, including the contentious practice ofusing radio-collared hounds. The bear report includes researchthat reveals that the hunting season is not an effective tool toreduce bear conflicts. The report impresses the following onVermonters, “Before we choose lethal methods of bear management,we also need to consider the ethics and impact tobear families. Bears form tight family units with the cubsstaying with their mother for about a year and a half. When weimplement lethal control, this disrupts the bear’s natural lifecycle,potentially leaving a cub to grow up without a mother.”We cannot hunt our way out of bear conflicts. It is on us tobe good bear neighbors.Brenna Galdenzi, President & Co-founder, Protect OurWildlifeStowe, VermontSecretary of State Jim Condos, Lieutenant Governor Molly Grayand Attorney General T.J. Donovan Sign Letter Calling UponCorporate Leadership to Speak Out Against Voter SuppressionVermont Secretary of State Jim Condos, Lieutenant GovernorMolly Gray and Attorney General T.J. Donovan joineda bipartisan coalition of over 50 current or former statewideelected leaders in signing a letter calling upon corporate leadershipto speak out against voter suppression, following thepassage of Georgia’s controversial voting rights restrictionlaw. According to the non-partisan Brennan Center for Justice361 bills aimed at restricting the rights of eligible voters havebeen introduced in 47 states.The letter states, in part “we are asking the business leadersin our states, and throughout the country, to add their voicesto the growing chorus of corporations standing on the rightside of history. When the foundation of our democracy— thefreedom of citizens in our states to cast their ballots— is underattack, it is powerful and important when Americans speak up,especially those in leadership positions.”“The true voter fraud in this country is to deny any eligibleAmerican from registering to vote and casting their ballot,”said Secretary Condos, who is Vermont’s chief election official.ow, more than ever, on the heels o record voter participation in the 2020 election, we need to come together as acountr to firml reject these undemocratic attempts to turn• • •• • •back the clock on voting rights.”“I’m proud of our state’s leadership in removing barriers tothe ballot box. In the last election, we saw record turnout notonly in Vermont but across the nation. We must oppose effortsto rollback voter participation,” said Lieutenant GovernorGray. “We’ve witnessed the power of Vermont businesses andbusinesses nationally in protecting human rights, promotingsocial responsibility, and upholding the foundations of our democracy.This moment is no different. I applaud and supportbusiness leaders in speaking out against voter suppression.”“While Vermont experienced record turnout in the 2020election, we must acknowledge that efforts to suppress anddisenfranchise voters continue to plague our country,” said AttorneyGeneral Donovan. “I will continue to defend the constitutionalright to vote, and I hope business leaders from acrossthe nation join in support of protecting voting rights.”Conversely, in Vermont, legislation is being considered toexpand the voting franchise, by making the universal mailingo ballots to all voters a permanent fiture o the Vermont General Election.The full letter can be found on the Secretary of State’s website.• • • PUBLICNOTICES TinaVOTELUNTBARRE TOWN CLERKSTATE OF VERMONTSUPERIOR COURTWashington UnitPROBATE DIVISIONDocket No.: 630-10-20 WnprIn re ESTATE of:Salvatore Francis Balzanelli, Jr.Notice To CreditorsTo the Creditors of:SALVATORE FRANCISBALZANELLI, JR.late of Barre Town, VermontI have been appointed to administerthis estate.
