And I think a lot of Americans agree that we’re at a point in time where we need to make some noise.” Parade spectators seemed to agree. SURJ marchers were greeted with applause, thank- yous and a total of $260 in cash donations. “We were about 50 when we left the staging area,” Gildrien said, “but some people joined us along the way, so I think by the end it may have been 60 or more.” Similar protests are taking MEMBERS OF SHOWING Up for Racial Justice demonstrate their patriotism in the Bristol Fourth of July parade by protesting U.S. place in Vermont and around the migrant-detention policies at the southern border.

Services) and Annunciation migrantjustice.net. ‘CONCENTRATION CAMP’ Observers who are familiar with the conditions of U.S.-run migrant-detention facilities are now calling them “concentration camps.” According to Merriam- Webster, a “concentration camp” is “a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard.” Though “concentration camp” is most often associated with the camps created by Nazis in World War II for the internment, persecution and murder of Jews and other prisoners, the first known usage of the term, with the above definition, dates back to 1897. “The sad truth is that this is part of a long history of America systematically separating families — slaves, indigenous people,” said Gildrien. “It’s not a matter of ‘This isn’t who we are,’ because it is. It’s a matter of ‘This isn’t who we should be.’” WITNESSING Just days before the Bristol parade, Rep. Mari Cordes, PAGE 4 — Addison Independent, Monday, July 8, 2019 ADDISON INDEPENDENT Editorial July brings fireworks — and new laws to abide by The first week of July brought the summer’s first string of hot, sunny days, fireworks and celebration. The first day of July also marked the first day 21 bills and 22 new provisions in state statute took effect. It’s worth reviewing a few of that provisions passed last May amid a chaotic end of the session that saw the House walk out on the Senate over disagreement on family leave and minimum wage legislation — two notable issues that Democrats and Progressives saw as a major failure of the session and which grabbed headlines at the session’s end. While those two issues left a sour end of the session, and many environmentalists complained not enough was done on the climate change front, there several significant issues — and other minor ones — approved among the 93 bills passed before adjournment. Among some of the notable issues, as compiled by VtDigger, the following bills went into effect July 1, 2019: • H.47 and S.86: A 92 percent excise tax on electronic cigarettes went into effect in an effort to reduce vaping and the use of tobacco by Vermont’s youth. Legislators also raised the legal age for tobacco purchase from 18 to 21, the same legal age for alcohol and marijuana. That latter provision takes effect in the fall. • H.63: The state’s energy efficiency utility, Efficiency Vermont, will be required to funnel any surplus money from electric bill fees into weatherization incentives for median-income residents. • S.68: Columbus Day is no longer in Vermont. The official Monday holiday will now be named Indigenous People’s Day. Vermont is one of the first states to rename the holiday and did so with very little opposition. • H.205: In an effort to protect pollinators, this bill restricts the use of a class of pesticides that are toxic to bees. Neonicotinoid pesticides are the most widely used kind of yard insecticides and their harm to bees has been well documented, reports VtDigger. The bill targets home use primarily, while some agricultural and commercial uses may continue. • H.330: While there is no criminal statute of limitations on cases of childhood sexual abuse, this bill removes the six-year statutory limit on civil charges. Vermonters can now retroactively file civil suits against abusers from childhood. • H.536: You may have missed it, but the governor who proclaimed no new taxes during his first term changed his tune and this past year agreed with the Legislature to raise Vermont’s average property tax rate by a penny to fund education. The nonresidential rate, for commercial property, rental property, and second homes, Red, white and cute FIVE-YEAR-OLD NORMANDIE CESARIO of Cornwall is equipped with super groovy sun- will increase a similar amount. glasses that complement her flag and star-spangled sun dress while enjoying the Fourth of • In a major step forward, S.96 shifted 6 percent of the rooms July parade in Bristol. and meals tax to fund clean water in an effort to clean up Lake Independent photo/Steve James Champlain as well as other troubled state waters. After 2021, it is expected to generate $12 million for clean water annually. • In a nod to doing something about climate change, Vermont’s budget included $4.6 million towards additional spending on electric vehicles. The administration and Legislature also approved wide-reaching Letters to the Editor abortion protection laws and approved measures to increase the level of estate tax exclusion from $2.75 million to $4.25 million starting in Jan. 1, 2020, and up to $5 million starting Jan. 1, 2021.

Practice, tactics vital as crew breaks through By ANDY KIRKALDY BRISTOL — Dreams of ath- letic glory come in all shapes and sizes, and cruel whims of fate can intervene. Before this past Thursday such had been the tale of the Hatch 31 team, which for years has fought hard for one dream, to become the Great Bristol Outhouse Race champion — only to see the title slip through its fingers. The race “The whole in question town’s here is held on Bristol’s … It’s nice Main Street because on the morn- we’re all ing of every born and Indepen- raised in dence Day as a way to this area raise funds and to for the Bris- compete in tol Fourth of this event July Com- brings mittee and, us such according to organizers, notoriety.” to determine — Cam Perta the World Champion in the sport of maneuvering facsim- HATCH 31 ROLLS toward victory in the championship heat of July 4’s Great Bristol Outhouse Race.

It’s Independence Day.” But in their heat on July 4, 2018, the Hatch 31 crew again found itself near the side of the road, this time in an early heat. Perta and McDonough ran into trouble handling the wood- framed loo on its four casters; an Independent intern had to dive out of their way, and the ultimate prize eluded a crestfallen Hatch 31 threesome yet again. This past Thursday the trio was back for more, and more determined than ever.
