Music Festival orchestra in uproar over auditions
By Michael Kitch
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CENTER HARBOR — As the New
Hampshire Music Festival opened its 57th
season last week, management and musicians quickly found themselves playing in
different keys.
The discordant note was struck when
the musicians, many of whom have come
to New Hampshire from around the country and the world to play together every
summer for two decades or more, were told
they would be required to reapply for a
place in the orchestra for the 2010 season.
Along with an audition, each instrumentalist must submit three recordings of music
composed before 1800, between 1800 and
1950 and since 1950, demonstrate their
facility with different musical genres as
well as composing and arranging, and write
essays in response to three questions about
music making in the 21st century, including their approach to mentoring students
who will be joining the orchestra.

horn in the orchestra for 28 seasons and

7 charged with killing Florida couple & stealing safe
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — An ex-convict
who taught self-defense to children. A day
laborer who served prison time for killing a
man in a fight. An Air Force staff sergeant
attached to an elite special operations unit.
Somehow, authorities say, they ended up
part of a loosely connected group of seven
men charged in the shooting deaths of
Byrd and Melanie Billings, a wealthy Florida Panhandle couple known for adopting
children with special needs.
The suspects, some dressed as ninjas,
stole a safe and other items during the
break-in Thursday at the sprawling Billings home west of Pensacola. Nine of the
couple’s 13 adopted children were home at
the time. Three saw the intruders but were
not hurt. Authorities would not say what
was in the safe or what else was taken.
Some of the masked men entered
through the front door, while others
slipped in through an unlocked utility door
in the back. They were in and out in under
10 minutes. The crime was captured by an
extensive video surveillance system the
Billings used to keep tabs on their many
children.
“It was a very well-planned and well-executed operation,” said Escambia County
Sheriff David Morgan.
The last three of the seven suspects were
arrested Tuesday, though Morgan said
there still might be more arrests. State
Attorney Bill Eddins said robbery was the
main motive for the crime.
Adult daughter Ashley Markham — one
of four Billings children from previous marriages — sobbed Tuesday as she hugged
Morgan, who said he kept a promise made
to her the night of the slayings.
“It is my honor today to tell you, Ashley,
your family we have found them and they
are in custody,” Morgan said.
The suspects ranged in age from 16 to
56, and several were day laborers who
knew each other through a pressure washing business and an auto detailer they
worked for. One, Donnie Ray Stallworth,
was with the Air Force Special Operations
Command with an aircraft maintenance
squadron at Hurlburt Field near Fort
Walton Beach. It wasn’t clear how he knew
the others.
“We’re dealing with a group of folks with
rare exception — of course, there’s a couple
of people who are not — that again are basically day laborer sorts, folks that get odd
jobs, part-time jobs and they drift,” Morgan
said. “With the exception of Mr. Stallworth
you don’t have any career-minded people
in this group.”
Morgan called 35-year-old suspect Leonsee KILLINGS page 5
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House
Intelligence Committee has asked the CIA
to provide documents about the now-canceled program to kill al-Qaida leaders, congressional officials said Tuesday.
The agency spent at least $1 million on
the eight-year program before it was terminated last month, one congressional
official said. Intelligence officials say the
operation never progressed beyond a planning stage.
The CIA said Tuesday that the agency
would cooperate in the House move, a
precursor to what would likely become a
full-blown investigation into the secret
operation and why the program was not
disclosed to Congress. The officials spoke
on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to discuss the matter
publicly.
CIA Director Leon Panetta, meanwhile,
ordered a thorough internal review, agency
spokesman George Little said.
Panetta told Congress on June 24 that he
had canceled the effort to kill al-Qaida leaders with hit teams soon after learning about
the operation. Panetta also told lawmakers
that former Vice President Dick Cheney
directed the CIA not to inform Congress of
the specifics of the secret program.
President George W. Bush authorized
the killing of al-Qaida leaders in 2001.
Congress was aware of that notification.

Lynch ends 18-year legal battle by signing school accountability act?
CONCORD (AP) — Gov. John Lynch ended an
18-year court fight Tuesday by enacting a law
requiring that New Hampshire schools prove they’re
meeting key academic standards.
The law, which took effect with Lynch’s signature,
holds schools accountable for providing a constitutionally adequate education — answering the last of
four mandates issued by the state Supreme Court in
response to a 1991 lawsuit by five poor school districts.
The schools successfully argued that New Hampshire’s reliance on the property tax to fund education was unconstitutional and resulted in unequal
educational opportunities depending on what town
children lived in.
Under the new law, schools will have to prove
they’re meeting academic standards by submitting reports to the state Education Department
that show students have access to instruction in
key areas such as language, arts, math and science.
They must demonstrate compliance by the end of
the next school year.
Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, schools
may instead demonstrate compliance through a performance-based system that the Education Department will develop.
The alternative system will include test scores,
attendance rates and the number of students in
accelerated courses.
In the fall 2012, state auditors will begin testing com-

Looking at Latinos as
just another ethnic group
Some years ago, I shared cocktails
along San Antonio’s River Walk
with Richard Estrada, the legendary columnist for The Dallas Morning News. Estrada would trace the
nuances of the Mexican-American
experience while framing it in the
long sweep of American history.
I recall saying that U.S.-born Latinos didn’t seem so much a racial
minority to me as just another
ethnic group. He responded with a
definitive “yes.”
Estrada died in 1999, and I try
to imagine his take on the New
Haven firefighters’ case — mainly
the matter of Ben Vargas, the firefighter of Puerto Rican heritage who
joined 17 white firefighters in suing
the city. They opposed New Haven’s
decision to discard a test for promotions because too few minorities
passed. Vargas had finished sixth.
Days after the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled in the white firefighters’ favor,
Vargas went out drinking with coworkers to celebrate an impending
marriage. When he visited a restroom, someone punched him bloody.
He ended up in the hospital. Vargas
assumes the attack was retaliation
for having joined the suit opposing
an affirmative action policy.
A newspaper article shows Vargas
sitting over coffee in his suburban
Connecticut house. Beside him are
his wife and their 3-year-old son
Joshua. Out the window you see a
deck and lawn leading to woods.
The home could have belonged to
any of his firefighting colleagues, be
they of Italian, Irish or other ethnicity.
The same went for the conversation.
Vargas explained his lifelong
ambition to be a firefighter. He
spoke of his love for the culture
that nurtured him — “our rice and
beans, our salsa music, our language” — and also gratitude for the
opportunity the United States had
afforded him. It was boilerplate for
the American story.
But late last century, Latinos
were included in affirmative action
programs.
Like African-Americans, they
tended to be poor. And they were
considered racially different — that
is, “brown” — even though many
are black and some are blond. Their
bloodlines may be Indian, European
or both. With a different last name,
Vargas could have passed for Italian, Jewish or Greek.
Had Latinos been left out and put
at a hiring disadvantage to blacks,
there would have been no affirmative action programs. And the
more groups covered in them, the
more support. Vargas’ offense was
breaking the solidarity that holds
together a de facto quota system
that most Americans dislike, including many of its “beneficiaries.”
The whole concept seems dated in
the age of Obama. But to the extent
that affirmative action made sense,
it did so only for American blacks.
African-Americans had suffered a
unique trauma of slavery and Jim
Crow. No other group came to this
country in chains.
Sure, Latinos can talk of discrimination and nasty remarks, but their
experience has been largely an
immigrant one. Every group that
comes here gets beaten up.
Novelist Willa Cather urged
greater respect for the Danish women
who did laundry and cooked meals
on the Nebraska frontier in the 19th
century. A hundred years ago, Cajun
children were punished for speaking
French in Louisiana schools.
As the American generations
move away from their foreign origins, the old culture tends to rest
more in recipes and less in the sense
of being different from co-workers
who root for the same football team.
That combo platter of identity,
rather than race, is what makes
Latinos seem ethnic — and many
middle-class blacks, as well.
For Ben Vargas, an affirmative
action program added only stress
and social discomfort. He is an
ethnic in the station house, alongside other ethnics for whom heritage is a footnote to identity, not the
headline.

Religion should always be personal choice & shouldn’t dictate law
To the editor,
Maybe we all need to do better
research! Leo Sandy stated that the
U.S. GAVE Saddam the chemical weapons he used on the Kurds, which was
a total LIE, and Leo knew that! Then
Leo had the gaul to defend his lie by
saying that back when Clinton was in
control, the U.S. allowed Iraq to buy
bacterial research products! Sorry, but
that was NOT the poison gas he used on
his people, the Kurds. Steve Earle was
right on to expose Leo’s double lie, and
those who falsely criticized Steve for his
accurate response should apologize to.
Likely the most abused and misunderstood term in the years since
our attack on Iraq has been WMD, or
weapons of mass destruction. Most
see that as nuclear weapons (yet the
lunatic liberal front all support Iran’s
nuclear weapon program). Some see
it as biological weapons (disease) or
gas warfare (as used on the Kurds).
No matter what, Saddam BRAGGED
for years that he had ALL those, and
would use them if anyone attacked
him. Those in the U.N. believed him,
and started inspections to find those
WMDs. But as we know, the U.N. is
a lame duck full of idiots (you can’t
serve there unless you can prove your
IQ is under 60). Saddam ducked the
issue by limiting inspection times and
locations, so any WMDs could easily
be moved to already inspected sites, a
ploy to prove to all that he had many
WMDs.
I doubt that Saddam ever moved
anything, since he had nothing to move,
but even during inspections he bragged
about having hidden WMDs. Saddam’s
lie came back and hit him hard when
the U.S. CIA, Congress, and President
Bush believed him and thus attacked
him. Why call it Bush’s war, when all
of Congress approved it, and Saddam
invited it? Sure, by the time our troops
could get access, all those real or lied
about WMDs were missing, and the
insanely stupid idiotic liberal press
blamed it all on Bush, when it was all
the fault of a liberal Congress and the
press! (Sorry for using an accurate quadruple negative).
I thank Leo for complimenting me,
and look forward to doing the same to
him. His compliments to Eleanor Iadonisi was okay, but not near enough!
She’s the best of letter writers!
Hey guys, maybe we should describe
the playing grounds: We who had
to work hard to earn a living, doing
needed services or making needed
products, and carefully saved for our
future, seem to think that we should at
least be able to have what we earned
and saved. I believe that describes
conservatives, many of whom become
Republicans in desperation, but I consider most Republican politicians as
traitors to conservatism. Just being
a lot better than Democrats is NOT
enough! The term “liberal” is never
as clear. As an absolute liberal and
absolute conservative, I defy anyone
to come up with definitions that isolate both! I fully believed, and have
proved, that living freely as GOD
made us and intended us to be, is the
best way (usually supported by “liberals” and opposed by Republicans).
Religion should always be a personal
choice, as the U.S. founding fathers
stated. THUS, no way should religion
dictate laws. So, go figure how much
pseudo religion has made laws?
Leo Sandy, please do some real
research on the current weapons we
have to defend our troops. You might
find that modern engineering is what
we need more of (sorry, I’m biased!)

KILLINGS from page one
ard Gonzalez Jr. a “pivotal person” in
organizing the crime, but stopped short
of identifying him as the mastermind.
He was charged Sunday with murder.
In court Tuesday, he read a statement proclaiming his innocence.
“The sheriff intentionally thrust me
into the public’s eye without any charges
being filed and also intentionally placed
me in a suicide ward to make me look
even guiltier,” Gonzalez said.
News clippings provided a very different picture of Gonzalez, a former
National Guard member and martial
arts expert who taught self-defense
classes for women and children. In 2007,
he and his wife founded a martial-arts
course that taught children to defend
themselves against sexual predators.
Gwinn Corley, a spokesman for a
community group that gave Gonzalez
and his wife an award for their program, said they brought their six young
children to self-defense presentations.
“We were impressed with them,”
Corley said. “He was talking about
children and their respect for their
elders. They both seemed to have a
passion to teaching the arts to abused
women and kids, they had a vision for
how to give free self defense.”
But records show Gonzalez, who was
arrested Sunday in the Billings case, served
time in Florida State Prison on burglary
and forgery charges in the mid-1990s.
His father, Leonard Gonzalez Sr.,
was also arrested. The 56-year-old was
charged Sunday night with evidence

To the editor,
About 2,000 years ago, Jesus told
the story of the two church leaders
who “passed by on the other side”
when they saw a traveler who had
“fallen among thieves” (Luke 10:30).
Today is not really any different, for
millions and millions of Americans
have “fallen among thieves” in part
because today’s church leaders also
“passed by on the other side”.
The thieves and their accessories
who say the Bible is not true in our
midst,“faked” our Church leaders “out
of their shoes”, and got our church
leaders to say nothing, when all the
church leaders had to do, to stop the
thievery, was to teach, inside the four
walls of their sanctuaries; all ten of the
“Ten Commandments”. For instance:
For the First Commandment; (no
other gods) our Church Leaders could
have opposed the worshipping of the
“great God Mammon” (money) (a violation of the First Commandment)
(instead of the God of Abraham as
Jesus taught us to do).
For the Third Commandment;
(taking the name of God in vain) they
could have opposed the blaspheming
of God that so many of our elected
office holders have done, when the
office holders broke their promise, ‘to
support and defend the Constitution’.
For the Eighth Commandment;

GILFORD — Dave Emerson of Emerson Aviation,
one of two fixed base operators at Laconia Municipal
Airport, yesterday confirmed that his firm inspected
the Cessna that crashed at the Margate Resort
annex on June 13.
The preliminary report into the accident by the
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)
notes that aircraft underwent an annual inspection,
including inspections of the powerplant, propeller
and controls as well as the overall condition of the
aircraft, which was completed on June 12 when the
plane was certified as airworthy by an authorized
airframe and powerplant mechanic.
The report does not identify the fixed base operator that performed the inspection. Nor does the
report suggest any relationship between the inspection and the accident.
Likewise, airport manager Diane Cooper stressed
that “the preliminary report makes no inference or
suggestion that any work performed on the plane
by anyone at this field contributed to this accident.”
“The accident is still under investigation and
there is no implication that Emerson Aviation bears
any responsibility for it,” Emerson said.
Although the report fails to indicate what caused
the accident, the investigators note that “during the
examination of the engine approximately two ounces
of oil was extracted from the engine oil system. The
engine had a fracture that went around the entire
longitudinal axis of the engine; however, there was
no evidence of oil in the vicinity of the fracture.”
The pilot, Stephen Cardelli of South Portland,
Maine died in the accident.

SCHOOL BUDGET from page one
taking away from someone’s table,” School Board
Chair Scott Vachon said at a board meeting last
night. He said he understood that some members in
the community, especially senior citizens, thought
the school budget’s increase of more than 7-percent
was suspect at a time when property tax bills were
becoming more difficult for city residents to pay. He
said the school’s programs, though, were critical to
the city’s future well-being and cutting those programs now would directly affect students. “You see
it when they become adults. It affects them throughout their lives.”
He reminded city councilors, “There has to be a
constant amount of respect and trust and a vision
for the future of the city.”
Vachon noted that the school district has worked
to establish a base of revenue that relies on more
than property taxes. Earlier that night, the board
heard a report that as much as 10-percent of its revenues would come from federal grants. “I think the
city needs to find a better way of looking for more
revenue on their side... We have to think broader.”
“I would encourage the city to develop the same
kind of thinking that we use so we can work as a
partnership, not this media circus that develops
every year.”
Board member Marge Kerns, who chairs the
budget and personnel committee, read a prepared
statement. In it, she explained that the city taking a
half-million from the school district is not as “devastating” as it may sound.
“In the past and I predict in the future, a $500,000
cut would devastate a school budget. But with the
potential of the stimulus funding from the federal

Becky Guyer will keep new craft store at Belknap Mall open year round
BY ADAM DRAPCHO
BELMONT — Crafting has been a
life-long hobby for Becky Guyer, and
for nearly three decades that hobby
has been the cornerstone of her professional life. She opened BG Fabrics 28
years ago, and simultaneously started
BG Costumes, a seasonal business
specializing in Halloween clothing.
The fabrics business lasted about
10 years, but the Halloween costumes
have been going strong ever since. For
the past 18 years, Guyer has rented a
storefront at the Belknap Mall in Belmont during September and October
to sell her costumes. About a month
ago, she signed a 12-month lease to
sell out of the storefront all year long.
The plan was that she’d spend the
10 months that customers don’t want
costumes to sell craft products she
makes and consign for other crafters.
The response has been so positive that
she’s planning to keep BG Creations
open year-round and rent another
space in the mall for her costumes.
She started the new venture, she
said, because “I love doing crafts and
this gives me an excuse to keep going.”
Guyer was born in Littleton, but has
lived in the Lakes Region since she
was an infant. “My mother taught me

government, we feel cautiously optimistic that we can continue to carry
on the business of the schools in an
educationally responsible way... So, in
these economic times, we wanted to do
our part and we believe we did.”
“We needed to step up to the plate
and we did step up to the plate.”
Earlier in the evening, Kerns said
she felt the budget committee would
be able to find areas in the budget
where expenditures will found to be
less than anticipated. The committee
hadn’t met yet to discuss the cuts, but
she listed some areas of the budget

how to sew, and I just kept on going
with it.”
Her attraction to crafting, she said,
is “Always being able to make something different. You work on it, get it
that would take a close look at.
“Whenever you get to a new school
year there are changes in staffing,
we’ll want to look at that to see where
we are,” she said. For example, retiring veteran teachers could be replaced
with lesser experienced ones who would
rank lower on the union pay scale.
New staff positions, such as a parttime custodian and a district-wide
technician, while needed in the long
run, could be put off for another year.
Also on the topic of personnel, some
staff members might choose lessexpensive health insurance plans.

all done, and then look at it and say,
‘wow!’ or ‘ew!’. And if it’s ‘ew’ you can
change it.”
And she’s not alone in her passion.
Although her store is just barely a
month old, she has about 45 crafters
represented there, with more calling
all the time. She already has a waiting list of crafters who’d like to offer
their items in her store.
Crafters who want to be a part of
BG Creations have to bring their
goods to pass her approval, then
together they set a price, and Guyer
is solely in charge of merchandising.
She prides her store on having items
that are affordable for every customer
and wide variety of hand-made items.
“There really is something for everyone in here,” she said.
Guyer has other jobs outside of her
stores. That’s not unusual in the crafting world she said. Rather, it’s the rule
that the people who created the items
in her store have “day jobs” that their
crafts help them unwind from. Craft
fairs are all well and good, she said,
but not all crafters can afford to spend
several weekends a year selling crafts
at fairs. BG Creations gives them an
alternative outlet for their products.
“People get really busy, everyone’s
working a million jobs, I think it’s
therapeutic. People who craft do it
because it’s therapeutic, it’s fun and
it’s relaxing.”
Items on display at BG Creations run
the gamut. They include locally produced honey and maple syrup, salsas
and gourmet popcorn. There are sweaters, scarves, quilts, hand bags and totes.
Decorative items include candles, wall
hangings and stuffed animals. In addition, there is a corner of Christmasthemed crafts and a corner for crafts
produced in Ecuador.
“It’s a feel-good kind of place, so
much talent,” said Guyer.
BG Creations is open Monday
through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 7
p.m. Thursday and Friday hours are
10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The store is open on
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and
on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Lahey will represent city on panel studying prison grounds
LACONIA — The City Council has unanimously
selected Mayor Matt Lahey to represent the city on a
commission charged with evaluating long-term uses of
the property that formerly housed the Lakes Region
(Prison) Facility. The Legislature established the commission this year when the prison was closed.
Lahey joined the City Council in 1992, a year after
the prison opened at the site, and was mayor in
1998, when the state reneged on its promise to shut
down the facility. As mayor, Lahey worked closely
with then Senator Leo Fraser to complete the arduous negotiations that culminated in legislation by
which the state agreed to compensate the city by
providing what became Robbie Mills Park, installing sidewalks The Weirs and limiting the capacity
of the prison.
The prison sat on a 212-acre tract overlooking
Lake Winnisquam to the west and Lake Opechee to
the east, adjacent to Ahern State Park and not far
from six state forests covering some 475 acres in the
northwest quarter of the city.
In addition to Lahey, the commission consists of
three members of the House of Representatives, two
senators, the commissioners (or their designees) of the
departments of Administrative Services, Environmental Services, Resources and Economic Development,
Corrections, Health and Human Services and Cultural Resources, along with the executive director of
the Fish and Game Department and a representative
of the Lakes Region Planning Commission.
The commission is to report to Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee of the Legislature by June 30, 2010.

Belmont woman charged with stealing $43k from 94-year-old
LACONIA — A 39-year-old Belmont woman has
indicted by a Belknap County Grand Jury for allegedly
stealing more than $43,000 from an elderly woman
who was under her care. Jacqueline MacDonald is said
to have used her position of trust to take the money
from a 94-year-old woman just days before the woman
entered a nursing home in January 2008.
Attorney General Kelly Ayotte announced that
the grand jury separately charged MacDonald with
filing fraudulent Medicaid applications in September 2006 and June 2007 to obtain benefits for her-
self and her child. On the applications, MacDonald
is said to have proclaimed that she had no income
despite allegedly receiving steady income as the
elderly woman’s caregiver.
MacDonald is said to have provided care for the
woman for several years.
The case is being prosecuted by the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Unit, which investigates both
healthcare provider fraud and allegations involving the financial exploitation and physical abuse of
long-term care residents.

ing assistance was placed by a female at the Sargent
residence at about 1:20 a.m. but the line was disconnected before further information could be obtained.
On arrival, police found Wesley Sargent mortally
wounded and Rector reported that an initial investigation indicated that a “domestic disturbance” had
occurred prior to the suicide.
Alton and Belmont police assisted Gilmanton

Police say the incident remains under investigation.

ORCHESTRA from page one
with the Portland Symphony for 32
years, called the process “outlandish,
outrageous and insulting, far beyond
the standards in the industry. That’s
how we have to get our jobs back,” she
asked, “writing essays?” She that “musicians are accustomed to auditioning for
new jobs, but I’ve never heard of auditioning an entire orchestra.”
On opening night at the Silver
Center for the Arts at Plymouth State
University, members of the orchestra
sported purple ribbons as a sign of
protest and solidarity. Cellist Andrea
DiGrigorio, a 22 year veteran of the
festival where she met her husband,
a violist, fashioned the ribbons. She
said that they were intended for the
orchestra, but during the intermission
members of the audience also asked
for them. “I ran out in five minutes,”
she said, “and one man asked for 200!”
David Graham, president of the
festival, said yesterday that last year
the Board of Directors, chaired by
Rusty McLear of Meredith, “charged
the leadership of the festival with
realigning its artistic mission.” In a
letter mailed to patrons on Monday,
Graham and Henry Fogel, recently
appointed to the post of festival director, explained that “it is essential for
us to reverse the growing lack of support for the Festival’s classical concerts,” noting that the
traditional second classical performance has
been eliminated for
want of an audience. In
the future, they said,
the festival would seek
“to bring new creativity and energy to the
performance of classical music,” noting that
“leaders of the classical music scene have
observed that concert
performances
that
bring back an atmosphere of discovery and
emotional excitement
create fresh enthusiasm.”
Graham highlighted
the role of Fogel in the
future of the festival.
Fogel, who headed
the League of American Orchestras for five
years, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association for 18 years and
the National Symphony
Orchestra
for
four
years, was named one
of the five best managers of cultural organizations by Business Week
magazine. “He is at the
very top,” said Graham,
“and in his commitment
he is unflinching.”
For
the
musicians, who DiGrigorio
described as “a close
knit group of people who
come to New Hampshire for six weeks each
summer to make fantastic music,” the prospect of change is, in her
words, “heartrending
and devastating.” For
the past 49 years, the
musicians have worked
directors, Thomas Nee from 1960 to
1992 and his successor Paul Polivnick,
whose final concert was last week.
Miller said that the orchestra
counts members from the Metropolitan Opera as well as from symphonies
in San Francisco, Seattle, London and
Paris. “As performing musicians, this
is one of the greatest groups I’ve ever
had the pleasure to play with. No one
here needs to prove themselves.”
Both Miller and DiGrigorio emphasized that over the years the musicians have not only formed close bonds
with one another but also established
a unique rapport with their audiences
and the Lakes Region communities.
They fear that the changes in the
offing threaten the camaraderie and
friendships among the musicians and,
equally important, the unique relationship between the orchestra and
the community.
“Change is always difficult,” said
Graham, who also distributed a
memorandum setting forth “myths
and facts” to the musicians. There
he emphasizes that all the members
of the orchestra will have the first
opportunity to play with the orchestra in the future, assuring them that
no other musicians will be hired for
the 2010 season until “we determine
which of you decide to participate

for Business Operations, Trish Temperino, asked
the board to review the list of nine proposed expenditures that would be financed with a portion of the
funds not expended by June 30, the last day of the
2009 fiscal year.
The nine items included $5,800 for additional
baseline testing of all students, $56,550 for additional summer work days for teachers to work on
programs for those schools found to be in need of
improvement and strategies for improving the district’s NECAP scores, $5,900 for improvements to

However, Graham also advises the musicians that
“we will ask you to demonstrate talents and capabilities you have not been asked to demonstrate in
the past. We must be assured that you, first, have an
interest in participating; and second, that you have
the capability to perform in this new environment,”
he continues. “We expect higher standards, longer
hours and a much more engaged commitment than
in the past.”
improvements to allow for a drop down projector in
the high school’s freshman academy room.
Other proposed expenditures include $55,000
for unanticipated special education transportation
expenses and $25,000 in for security improvements to
the visitor entries at all of the district’s schools. The
entrance improvements are also part of the Meredith
Police Departments COPS grant request under a U.S.
Justice Department stimulus grant program.
The last proposed expenditure of $40,660 would be
to make up for the loss of state funding for certain
employee retirement fund contributions. The state
legislature cut the amount of the state contribution
to municipal and school district retirement programs
from 35-percent to 30-percent for the coming year.
Temperino indicated that the balance of the unreserved funds would be used to reduce the school district property tax levy.
(Board Chair John Carty asked about the potential impact of policy holders winning the lawsuit
over the legislature’s use of a $110-million “surplus”
in the N.H Medical Malpractice Joint Underwrites
Association’s account to balance the budget for the
fiscal year just ended and the biennium that just
started. If the state wins, $65-million of the total
would be used to balance the budget for the fiscal
year that ended on June 30. The remaining $45-million would be used to balance the budget for the next
two fiscal years.
The Belknap Superior Court has already ruled
that the association is not a state agency. Oral
arguments in the case are scheduled for July 20.
LRGHealthcare and a number of doctors and nursing homes are parties to the case, arguing that the
Legislature has no business taking money that by
contract should, if anything, be returned to them.)
The new student drug and alcohol policy, originally
adopted in 1979 and revised at least six times since
then, contains a much stronger statement of purpose.
It was given unanimous approval by the board.
The new policy statement declares that it is the
intent of the School Board to prevent, rather than
control, the use of alcohol or drugs by students.
The policy approved by the board also contains a
new section pertaining to alcohol and drug testing. It
provides that any student “suspected of being under
the influence of alcohol or other substance may be
required to undergo substance abuse/impairment
assessment and possible drug testing.”
The policy also spells out the steps that school
staff members, principals and assistant principals,
and school nurses, school resource officers and crisis
counselors must follow if a student is suspected of
being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The class size policy was approved unanimously
despite a number of parent and citizen comments
stating that the upper limits should be lower. The
policy’s bottom line calls for conformity to the N.H.
Department of Education’s current standards. Those

believed that life experiences commanded a result in a case, but that’s
clearly not what I do as a judge,” Sotomayor said.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, a former judge
and the committee’s senior Republican, sounded unconvinced.
“As a judge who has taken this oath,
I am very troubled that you would
repeatedly over a decade or more
make statements” like the one in
2001, he said.
Obama nominated Sotomayor to
replace retiring Justice David Souter.
Openings on the powerful, ninemember court are rare, and nominees receive extraordinary attention
because, if confirmed, they serve until
they retire or die.
The court shifted to the right as a
result of the two justices named by
George W. Bush. If confirmed, Sotomayor appears unlikely to alter the
court’s balance of power because
Souter frequently sided with its liberal bloc on abortion and other controversial issues.
The issue of abortion rights has
been central to Supreme Court confirmation fights for two decades or more.
Sotomayor came close to saying the
issue was settled, but stopped short of
that flat declaration.
She cited Supreme Court cases
upholding abortion rights and said
that she considered them settled law
subject to a great deal of deference,
though not absolute.
She also carefully answered a question about gun rights, citing constitutional protections for bearing arms.
She resisted attempts by some
Democrats to draw her into potentially contentious areas. When Sen.
Russell Feingold asked whether the
Supreme Court had made mistakes
when it struck down Bush-era laws on
policies relating to the war on terror,
Sotomayor sidestepped.
“I smiled only because that’s not
the way judges look at that issue,” she
said. “We don’t decide whether mistakes were made. We look at whether
action was consistent” with the Constitution and the law.
Juvenile arrested for breaking into South End store
LACONIA — A juvenile boy has
been taken into police custody following a middle-of-the-night break in at a
South End convenience store.
According to a police report, officers
were called to the Diamond Fuels
store at 142 South Main Street at just
after 3 a.m. early Tuesday morning.
They discovered the front, glass door
had been smashed in.
During the investigation that followed, police were able to identify a
juvenile suspect who has now been
charged with burglary.

standards call for an upper limit on
Kindergarten to Second Grade classes
of 25 students with a goal of 20 or
few students per teacher. For Grades
3-5, the upper limit is 30 students per
teacher with a goal of 25 or fewer, and
for Middle and High School classes
the upper limit should be 30 or fewer
students per teach. Class sizes for lab
courses should be a maximum of 24
students.
The parent/citizen comments generally supported the lower suggested
limits on class sizes for grades K-5.
The board also agreed to begin
intensive discussion of its goals for
2009 at its next meeting on August 11.
That discussion will focus on the following general statements:
Preparation of students for successful life-long learning; evaluation
of sports programs to promote student leadership, teamwork, personal
growth and satisfaction; increasing
the percentage of children who are
prepared to succeed within the regular kindergarten curriculum; and
ensuring parental and community
support an involvement (in the district’s programs) through clear, open,
and timely communications.
Board member Lisa Merrill provided
most of the discussion relating to those
goals she believes could be achieved
through greater use of and reliance on
technology, and board member Howard
Cunningham suggested that the school
district should reach out to day care
center staffs and the parks and recreation department to develop a better
understanding on the part of those programs of the district’s expectations for
four and five year olds at they enter the
school system.
Merrill also stressed that videotaping of the school board’s meetings was,
to her, “an important part of commu-
nication with parents and the community.”
She said she understood the concerns many Sandwich resident’s have
because the town is not wired for cable
television. Nevertheless, she said, “We
should be making video available on
DVD so people could view the board
meetings at their library. We should
also try a pilot meeting of the board
at the Meredith Community Center
where the room is already equipped
for television.”
Carty disagreed, saying, “If we do
a road show with our meetings, we
should be using the educational facilities.”
Board member Carol Baggaley said
she was surprised by the number of
people who have told her that they
have watched the meetings on Channel 26, the cable TV public access
channel.
“I am in favor of transparency,”
board member Richard Hanson said.
“My wife commented that she has
learned a few things from watching
she didn’t know about what we do.
I don’t have a problem with a pilot
effort involving the use of the community center, and I think a DVD is a
good idea. If people know about it and
want to watch a meeting, the DVD is
another way to do it.”
The board opened its meeting last
night with a required public hearing on the proposed use of American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (federal stimulus) funds for special education programs during the first few
months of the current (2010) district
fiscal year. The stimulus funds under
the grant proposal subjected to the
public hearing amount to approximately $185,000. The district will
be applying for additional stimulus
funds as soon as the guidelines for
those programs have been finalized.

‘Big Wheels’ in a small town
Gilmanton Selectmen Don Guarino, Rachel Hatch and Betty Ann Abbott poked fun at themselves as “Big Wheels of Gilmanton” in the
annual Fourth of July Parade. They “rode” Big Wheels, which they bought for the occasion, then gave them away to three lucky children
in a drawing at the fireworks that night at Crystal Lake Park. (Photo by Margaret Hempel)
ALL-STAR from page 24
four straight one-run victories, the AL matched the
All-Star record for consecutive one-run games, set
when the NL won from 1965-68.
For the AL, pitching and defense was the key in
the first All-Star game without a home run since
1999 at Boston’s Fenway Park.
Crawford, the MVP, jumped at the 8-foot left-field
wall and snared Brad Hawpe’s leadoff drive in the
seventh off Jonathan Papelbon, which would have
been a tiebreaking home run.
“Wow, what a catch,” Papelbon said on the mound.
Halladay, Mark Buehrle, Zack Greinke, Edwin
Jackson, Felix Hernandez, Papelbon and Nathan
came two outs shy of the All-Star record for consecutive outs, set by the NL in 1968.
Granderson sparked the offense with a one-out
triple in the eighth off the bottom of the left-field
wall. The drive went over Justin Upton, normally a
right fielder, who took a bit of a circuitous route. Bell
intentionally walked Victor Martinez, and Jones followed with a fly to deep right.

thing in this priceless little museum
on Moultonborough’s Main Street.
With three rooms and a barn full of
exhibits and artifacts, there is much
to see and enjoy here — from documents, period doll houses and a giant
ball of string in the main museum, to
tools, carriages, even a rare horse boat
treadmill from early Winnipesaukee
days in the barn. Look for the “Open”
sign out front: there is ample parking
around back.
The Museum, freshly cleaned and
with new articles, was open to an
appreciative crowd on the 4th of July.
On August 1st, for Old Home Day, the
Museum will be open again, along
with the other buildings in the Historical Society’s stewardship — the Town
House, the Middle Neck Schoolhouse,
and the Grange.
Old Home Day, now in its third year
of revival in Moultonborough, will
be bigger than ever, with old cars, a
raffle, music, a bake sale, lunch, lawn
games for kids at the Lamprey House
— and Recreation Department games
and activities at the Playground.
For more information on the Moultonborough Historical Society, Old Home
Day or the Museum, or to arrange for

B.C.

Pooch Café LOLA
by Darby Conley
By Holiday Mathis
what you want, you lose all self-awareness. You come across to others as confident, but really you’re so in the moment,
there’s no mental space to even consider
how you look.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No matter
what kind of dreams you had last night,
or how hard it was to wake up, you
always have the choice to improve your
mood. Recall pleasant times to change
your tone from grumpy to great.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This
should come as a relief: You don’t have
to act like you like someone who you
don’t like in order to get ahead in business. Be genuine instead. Actually, find
something to like in the person. It won’t
be as hard as you think.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Usually it comes naturally to you to save
the day. Be more cautious over the next
three days. A grand gesture is not what’s
needed. If you get involved too deeply in
other people’s business, it will be difficult
to get out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
There’s something you said you would
do that remains undone. You were in a
different mood when you obligated yourself and you don’t feel the same about
the situation. And yet, it’s important that
you deliver on your promise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your
status in a relationship is in a state of flux.
Every move you make changes the balance. To arrive at a stable place, consider
not making a move for a while. Let the
relationship find its natural equilibrium.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
know what you must do. Your heart dictates loudly these days. And yet you still
haven’t figured out how you can possibly
fit its requests in your schedule. Relax.
Something will soon open up.
Get Fuzzy
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re
open to connecting with someone who is
very different from you personality-wise.
You could be led down a path to emotional experiences you never perceived
before.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Inside
your head, there is no time. In your mind,
it is always now. That’s why we need
schedules and calendars. Put your goals
on the schedule. They need to be there in
order to be taken seriously by your own
brain.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s important to you that others feel safe, secure
and welcome around you. That’s why
you make an extra effort to ensure that
their travels to meet you will go smoothly.
Connect at a convenient place and time.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Imagined dangers could suck your time. To
keep them from overtaking your consciousness, talk with friends about what
you’re afraid of. You’ll likely discover that
there’s nothing to worry about.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a
lineup of activities you need to get to
and you’ll benefit from moving quickly
from one to the next. If you don’t like the
task and you’re not good at it either, delegate.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (JULY 15). The
balance you strike in your personal life
allows you to step up your productivity.
Relationships lift and support you. By
mid-August, you’ve made an important
sale or finished a key project. Your social
stature gets a boost in October and you’ll
enjoy being the cool one people look up
to. Family makes you proud in December. Cancer and Aries adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 5, 43, 25, 30 and 17.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When
you are completely focused on getting

Today’s Highlight in History:
On July 15, 1971, President Richard
Nixon startled the country by announcing he
would visit the People’s Republic of China.
On this date:
In 1606, Dutch painter Rembrandt was
born in Leiden, Netherlands.
In 1870, Georgia became the last Confederate state readmitted to the Union.
Manitoba entered confederation as the fifth
Canadian province.
In 1916, Boeing Co., originally known as

resulting in an Allied victory, began during
World War I.
In 1948, President Harry S. Truman was
nominated for another term of office by the
Democratic national convention in Philadelphia.
In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower
ordered U.S. Marines to Lebanon, at the
request of that country’s president, Camille
Chamoun, in the face of a perceived threat
by Muslim rebels. (The Americans withdrew
in October 1958.)
In 1964, Sen. Barry M. Goldwater of
Arizona was nominated for president by
the Republican national convention in San
Francisco.
In 1976, a 36-hour kidnap ordeal began
for 26 schoolchildren and their bus driver
as they were abducted near Chowchilla,
Calif., by three gunmen and imprisoned in
an underground cell. (The captives escaped
unharmed.)
In 1979, President Jimmy Carter delivered his “malaise” speech in which he
lamented what he called a “crisis of confidence” in America.
In 1997, fashion designer Gianni Versace
was shot dead outside his Miami home;
suspected gunman Andrew Phillip Cunanan
was found dead eight days later.
One year ago: In an All-Star game that
began at dusk and ended at 1:37 a.m.
the next morning, the American League
defeated the National League 4-3 in 15
innings at Yankee Stadium.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am in my 60s, in good health, and have been
married five years. This is my fourth marriage and I find myself miserable. My husband is good to me, and I know a lot of
women would eagerly trade places. But I am ashamed to say
I do not love him, nor have I ever loved any man.
I am most certainly straight and have three children by a
previous husband. I am simply the type of person who prefers being alone. However, I am much better off financially
being married. Are there other women out there who feel like
I do? Please give me some insight. -- Unhappy in Louisiana
Dear Unhappy: There are many women who have little interest in marriage, but there is tremendous social pressure for
them to marry and have children regardless. Also, too many
women define their self-worth in terms of their ability to snag
a husband. And if a woman wants children, it is more complicated to support and care for them alone.
Being in love is not the only criterion for a satisfying marriage. Your husband is good to you. Do you treat him well?
If so and he is happy, discuss your preference for spending
more time alone. He may be more accommodating than you
think. And if he is not happy, he deserves to be with someone
who will love him and show it.
Dear Annie: One of the married women in our social group
chose not to have children. Whenever she hears about someone else’s child having problems with the law, drugs or some
other sad situation, she always says, “It just makes me realize
how lucky I am.”
Those of us who love our children and are proud of them
are offended by this remark. What do we say to her? -- Louisville
Dear Louisville: It sounds as if your friend needs to reassure herself that she made the right choice. Simply say, “You
know, Doris, some of us have wonderful children, and we feel
fortunate and grateful that they are part of our lives. I wish
you could appreciate that.”
Dear Annie: You can add one more response to the letter
from “Trying My Best,” whose boss criticized her hair after
chemo treatments. Nine years ago, my wife lost her battle
with cancer. She also endured harsh, unfeeling treatment at
work. The week we learned that additional treatment would
not prolong her life, she came home in tears due to a particularly nasty comment from a co-worker.
The next day, I accompanied my wife to her office and asked
the supervisor for permission to address those co-workers.
The supervisor was clueless about what had been going on. I
said, “My name is Jay and I’m Jena’s husband. I love her with
all my heart, but we found out this week she is dying and
there is nothing more that can be done.” The silence was deafening. I took my wife’s hand, told her I loved her and said if
she didn’t want to work there anymore, she could come home
so I could take care of her. With tears in her eyes, she replied,
“Let’s go.”
By the time we arrived home, our answering machine was
full of kind messages from her co-workers. The supervisor
came by a week later to see how she was doing and informed
us that three employees had been fired for “creating a hostile work environment.” She also gently chided Jena for not
bringing it to her attention.
My wife died in my arms six weeks later. She had forgiven
them and so have I. To all the survivors out there, take heart.
Every day that goes by will give you a little more strength to
get through. -- Still in Pain But Moving On
Dear Still: Our deepest condolences. We are certain it was
comforting to your wife to have such a loving and devoted
husband.

Native garden at Meredith Community Center to be dedicated on Friday
MEREDITH — The Design Committee of the
Greater Meredith Program will host a dedication
ceremony to thank all of the volunteers who contributed either their time, hard work or money to make
the vision of the new Meredith Community Center
native garden a reality on Friday, July 17th at 4 p.m.
The public is welcome to attend.
The native garden will be dedicated to all the volunteers who made it happen. A commemorative plaque
recognizing all contributors will be unveiled and placed
on permanent display in the Community Center.
The $70,000 Community Center Garden was
achieved entirely by donations and volunteers at no
cost to the town. Individuals, local clubs, charitable
organizations, designers, architects, landscapers,
contractors and other businesses all collaborated to
make this project a success.
“Meredith is very fortunate to have this extraordinary
degree of support and enthusiasm,” said Chris Williams,
AIA of Christopher P. Williams Architects of Meredith.
“Many of the businesses that contributed are not even
located in Meredith.” What was truly amazing is that
100-percent of the people that were asked to contribute
did! Many said, “Sure, I’d be happy to help just tell me
what you need and when you need me.”
Last fall, the volunteer landscape contractors
went to work preparing the site and adding new topsoil, installing irrigation, created a flagstone seat-
BELMONT — A Belmont summer tradition
returns this Friday, July 17, as the Historical Society welcomes visitors and offers tours of the Province Road Meeting House, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Featured activitities include open house, tours, and
a work day for members and friends.
A potluck supper from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. will feature
special guest Steve Bedard of Bedard Preservation
and Restoration, reporting on the building’s condition
and recommendations for its continued preservation.
Bedard and consultant Elizabeth Durfee Hengen of
Concord, prepared the study through grant funding
from the New Hampshire Land Community Heritage
Investment Program. Bedard is a Gilmanton resident
and frequent contributor to heritage education programs of the N.H. Division of Historical Resources and
New Hampshire Preservation Alliance. Among his
many restoration projects are assistance to the Paul
Wentworth House and Gilmanton Year-Round Library
Association, which moved and preserved an 18th century barn as a new community resource.
Meeting houses were first used for both religious
and town business. Built in 1792 to serve as Meeting House for the Town of Gilmanton and Gilmanton Upper Parish, it was one of the region’s first and
hosted at least one town meeting in the 1700s. In 1835
it was taken over by the Third Free Will Baptist Meeting House Society in Upper Gilmanton, and gifted and
deeded to the Belmont Historical Society more than a
century later. Belmont citizens provided a first major
contribution of $15,000. to help preserve this Route
107 landmark, and a generous land donation from the
Raed Hertel Family Trust has also aided the effort.
Listed in the New Hampshire Register of Historic
Places, the building is included in the website of largeformat photographer Paul Wainwright at www.colonialmeetinghouses.com Wainwright is creator of a project
and forthcoming exhibit and book, documenting these
signature New England colonial period structures.
The Belmont Historical Society is dedicated to preserving special places and is currently celebrating its
40th year. All are welcome and further information on
program, events and membership at www.historicalsocietiesnh.org/belmont or by calling 603 524-2543.
SANBORNTON — This year, Old Home Day Weekend falls on July 17, 18 and 19. The Sunday service,
which is always a town-wide Union Service, held by
turns in each of Sanbornton’s three Churches, will be
held on July 19, at the Congregational Church in Sanbornton Square at 10 a.m. Prizes will be given during
the service to the oldest and youngest persons present,
to the person who has traveled the greatest distance to
attend and to the family which has the largest number
of members present.
The preacher at the Service traces her ancestry back to
the first settlers of the Town of Sanbornton. The Reverend Doctor Cynthia Taylor Morse is a direct descendant
of Nathan Taylor whose portrait hangs in the narthex of
the Congregational Church. Dr. Morse grew up in Sanbornton, was baptized and confirmed in the church in
the Square, attended Sanbornton Central School and
Northfield School for Girls. She went on to Connecticut College for Women where she earned AB and MA
degrees in Music History. She worked at the Connecticut
State Department of Correction for 25 years in a variety
of capacities including parole officer and as an administrator handling all of the interstate compacts and agreements for the Department of Correction and in charge of
staff training for the Parole Division.
In her second career, she studied for the ministry
at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, graduating with a Master of Divinity in Pastoral Theol-
ogy. She was ordained in 1992 and served in Interim
Ministry in the NH Conference of the United Church
of Christ from 1997-2008. She earned a Doctorate
in Ministry in Congregational Studies at Hartford
Seminary in 2005. She has taught at both Episcopal
Divinity School and Harvard Divinity School.
Dr. Morse retired in September 2008, although
she still does supply preaching and consulting with
congregations and clergy. She is currently living in
Salem with her spouse, Rev. Carolyn Stephenson,
Rector of St. David’s Episcopal Church in Salem, Dr.
Morse’s “other church.” Dr. Morse’s family home in
Sanbornton Square is their summer “refuge.”

ing area, wired in a new streetlight and installed
four large Sugar Maple trees. Then the volunteer
gardeners came in over two long weekends and
installed over 675 native shrubs, bushes and perennials. Mame’s Restaurant and The Common Man
fed them lunch. By the end of October, the project
was finished and put to bed for the winter.
This spring, Nancy Lavigne, who recently retired from
her own landscape design business, Wilderness Landscaping in Bedford, agreed to act as head gardener for
the new native garden at the Community Center under
the town’s Adopt-a-Spot program. Nancy and other volunteers, have spent numerous hours tending to the new
garden which has been designed to be educational as
well as ornamental, based on low maintenance native
plans, that once established, will need minimal watering.
“This wonderful native garden will not only delight
the eyes, it will be a teaching tool as residents, young
and young at heart, learn about the native plants that
thrive at the Community Center garden,” expressed
Carol Gerken, a member of the Community Garden
Club and Greater Meredith Program volunteer.
Remember to shop local this summer and support
your local businesses. For more information about
the Meredith Community Center Garden, please

Sotomayor pushes back on racial bias charges
American League
continues dominance of
baseball’s All-Star Game
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carl Crawford’s glove and a
dominant bullpen helped save the AL’s streak.
Crawford pulled back a home run with a leaping
grab an inning before Curtis Granderson tripled
and scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth, giving
the American League a 4-3 victory Tuesday night at
the new Busch Stadium.
The AL has won seven straight games since
2002’s 7-7, 11-inning tie at Milwaukee and is 12-0-1
since its 1996 defeat at Philadelphia — the longest
unbeaten streak in All-Star history.
The AL has won all seven times the All-Star game
has been used to determine home-field advantage
for the World Series.
Not even President Barack Obama’s ceremonial
first pitch helped the NL, which had been 4-0 previously when sitting presidents threw out the first
offering. The NL scored all its runs in the second
inning, and 22 of its last 24 batters made out.
Starting with Hanley Ramirez’s groundout off
starter Roy Halladay that ended the second, AL
pitchers retired 18 consecutive batters before Adrian
Gonzalez’s two-out walk in the eighth against Joe
Nathan. Orlando Hudson singled and, with pinchhitter Ryan Howard at the plate, stole second before
Howard struck out.
Mariano Rivera pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his record
fourth All-Star save, breaking a tie with Dennis Eckersley and giving him eight All-Star innings over
eight appearances with no earned runs.
Adam Jones drove in Granderson with a sacrifice
fly off loser Heath Bell, helping the AL narrow its
deficit against the senior circuit to 40-38-2. With

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama’s pick for the U.S. Supreme
Court, pushed back vigorously Tuesday against
Republican charges that she would bring racial bias
and a liberal agenda to her seat as the first Hispanic
woman on the nation’s top tribunal.
On the second day of her Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings, Sotomayor insisted
she would be impartial, even as Republican senators tried to undercut her with her own words from
past speeches.
Sotomayor backed away from perhaps the most
damaging words that had been brought up since
Obama nominated her seven weeks ago, a comment
in 2001 suggesting that a “wise Latina” judge usually would reach better conclusions than a white
man. She called the remark “a rhetorical flourish
that fell flat.”
Though Republicans on the Senate Judiciary
Committee did not appear convinced, Sotomayor
still appeared headed toward confirmation as the
first Hispanic justice on the top U.S. court. Demo-
crats hold strong majorities in the Senate, and
Republicans are wary about attempting procedural
tactics to derail her, especially since Hispanics are
an important part of the electorate.
In a long day in the witness chair, Sotomayor
fielded a wide array of questions on the hottest legal
and political issues. She stopped just shy of saying
that the right to abortion — one of the United States’
most contentious issues — was settled law. She said
she had an open mind on gun rights.
She also readily agreed that the Supreme Court
ruled wrongly during World War II when it upheld
the detention of Japanese-Americans. It was a
question with obvious implications for attempts to
combat terrorism, and she explained how current
courts can avoid similar mistakes.
“A judge should never rule from fear. A judge
should rule from law and the Constitution,” she said.
It was the “wise Latina” comment, however, that
kept Sotomayor on the defensive.
“It was bad because it left an impression that I
