Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to NH Outlook. |
| Intro Hollingworth Return to index of stories... |
When voters go to the polls September 10, they'll be choosing primary candidates for Governor, Congress and the state house. New Hampshire Outlook wants to help make those choices more informed. So from now until the primary, we're presenting profiles and conducting interviews of candidates in the key races. Producer Richard Ager continues our coverage with the race for governor and a profile of Democrat Beverly Hollingworth. |
| Beverly Hollingworth Return to index of stories... |
Soundup: Hollingworth tape 5 02:05:35 Hi Father Angelo. Nice to meet you. I'm used to being behind the hot grills so if you need some help, just call me." "I appreciate that." Soundup: Hollingworth tape 2 52:25 "I'm Zack." "Zack, nice to meet you. You know, I used to own a restaurant so I know how hard you're working." Track: Bev Hollingworth takes politics personally - after all, events in her life have shaped her involvement in New Hampshire's political life. Born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, she moved to New Hampshire as a child when her parents opened a hotel in Hampton. Soundup: LPA 340 17:38:05 soundup of motel door creaking Track: Having been raised in the hotel business, Hollingworth only reluctantly decided to make it a career. Bite: Hollingworth tape 3 00:54:35 I married a hockey player, Canadian, and he decided that we needed to do more than just have the hockey income because naturally in those days it didn't bring in the kind of revenue or payroll that people have now because of hockey and so he wanted a summer business and so he kept telling me that we needed to go into the hotel business. Track: When her husband, Gordon "Bucky" Hollingworth, developed terminal leukemia, he asked Bev not to prolong his life with heroic measures. At the time, NH didn't recognize living wills. She recalled his request in this 1983 interview. Bite: LPA 340 17:37:50 …and should I be placed in a situation where I can no longer make decisions for myself and that my life is going to kept only going by machinery, then do not do that to me. Bite: LPA 340 17: 38:59 You're not thinking - they have said this is terminal and life will take its ultimate course. You're think by saying take him off that machine, that you are the one sentencing him to death. Track: After Gordon's death, Hollingworth worked as a patient advocate, joined in the protests over the construction of the Seabrook nuclear plant, and decided to run for the legislature. Standup: Bev Hollingworth led the fight to recognize living wills, which overcame a gubernatorial veto to become state law. With the exception of one term from 1994-96, when she was defeated by Bruce Keough, now also running for governor, Bev Hollingworth has been a member of the legislature for 20 years, 10 in the House and 10 in the Senate - at $100 a year. Bite: SO YOU'VE MADE OVER 2,000 DOLLARS…….absolutely, absolutely, oh I made even more than that. When I was president of the senate I got $25 dollars more a year…. Track: Hollingworth was elected to lead the Senate after the death of Senate President Junie Blaisdell in 1999. Elected with bipartisan support, she says it was a rare period of working together. Bite: Hollingworth tape 3 1:13:00 You didn't see 11-13 votes like you saw in this session. It was bipartisan votes, there were very few times, maybe three that would oppose, four that would oppose, but always reaching across the aisle to pass legislation. Soundup: Impeachment tape 14:23:22 We will vote on the articles consecutively one by one, without any delay or discussion in between. Track: Hollingworth presided over the impeachment trial of supreme court chief justice David Brock, which she regards as a great test of state govt. Bite: Hollingworth tape 3 1:15:15 I think it was very serious. The people didn't have faith in the judicial system because the process was closed and there was so much bitter words going on that people didn't know what the story was it was very clouded. And people who had had bad decisions, or decisions not necessarily bad but against what they wanted, were pointing at this as this is the kind of justice that we get. Soundup: Impeachment tape 14:28:34 The vote is 8-14 for acquittal. Track: After 17 days of trial proceedings, Brock was acquitted - to mixed reaction from the public and the House of Representatives. Bite: Hollingworth tape 3 1:16:15 They might not all have agreed with the vote or the outcome but they all agreed that the process had been fair and open and I think that's what's the most important piece that came out of it. Bite: Tape OL27 00:41:14 This plan fails to repeal the statewide property tax. This was a promise that was made to the public. Track: The Republicans regained control of the Senate in 2000 and Hollingworth lost her presidency, as well as budget battles over the state's tax system. Bite: Legislature 5/22/02 tape 2 12:17:34 We are a family. Bite: This year, she decided it was time to leave the senate and try for higher office, a decision also taken by her opponent Sen. Mark Fernald. Bite: Legislature 5/22/02 tape 2 12:17:55 …and I'm not going to say goodbye. I'm going to say I'll see you in January, and thank you very much. Video: Hollingworth tape 2 49:10 Putting the shirt on the poodle or 49:44 shirt is on - dog jumps up Soundup: Hollingworth tape 2 52:05 "Hi, Bev Hollingworth. Running for governor. Nice to see you young men. You're going to vote when you can. Make sure you do." Bite: Tape#:OL 60 01:19:44 We would make 100 million dollars if we put an income tax in today because right now the people who are working in NH and living in another state are paying the income tax to other states. Bite: Gubernatorial forum Tape 4 8:53:30 The constitution requires us to have a taxation that is fair and equitable and that means it should be based on the ability to pay. Those people who are millionaires in this state who are not paying their fair share need to pay their fair share. Soundup: Hollingworth tape 1 18:30 ** tight on man playing instrument - pan over to woman Soundup: Hollingworth tape 1 05:27 "Good morning George, it's very nice to see you." Track: Hollingworth believes fairness is a founding principle of our government. It is a theme she takes to forums and festivals around the state. Bite: Hollingworth tape 2 37:47 "Tell me how firmly committed you are to the sales tax or not - or the income tax." "I don't believe the sales tax does it. Unfortunately we already tax rooms and meals and a lot of things - grocery stores, anything that is to go is taxed. So a sales tax doesn't bring in enough. I believe you have to repeal the statewide property tax in total, and you have to replace it with an income tax." "You are strongly for the income tax?" "Absolutely." "Any difference between you and Fernald on that?" "Well Mark wants take and keep it on second homes. I say that perhaps that may be a choice, but it may not be cost-effective. When you look at a tax, you look for one that's easy to collect and right now I'm not sure that that does it Soundup: Hollingworth tape 1 14:35 **** "Good morning, oh excuse me." How are you, Bev Hollingworth. Nice to meet you." "Good day madam, John Taylor Gillman at your service." Soundup: Hollingworth tape 1 15:15 "Have you read Mr. Paine's pamphlet, Common Sense?" "Yes, as a matter of fact, I have. A long, long time ago." "Well, it was only published last year." Soundup: Hollingworth tape 1 16:40 "We should have a republican form of govt…. Track: New Hampshire's anti-tax history does not worry Hollingworth. Bite: Hollingworth newser tape 19:26 HOW READY DO YOU THINK THE STATE IS TO ENGAGE IN THE DEBATE OVER AN INCOME TAX? I think they're very ready. When you stop and realize what's happened to the state. We've really put quite a heavy burden on people and you have to remember when you did the statewide property tax, people kept saying it was a tax on communities. Well it's not. People pay taxes, not communities. Right now, people are suffering and young people are not able to live in the community in which they were raised, where they want to work. Soundup: Hollingworth tape 5 02;00;10 stirring the little calorie bombs around in the oil. Soundup: Hollingworth tape 5 01:59:35 shaking sugar on the lukamarias Soundup: Hollingworth tape 5 02:08:17 These look wonderful. Mmmm. Wonderful." Soundup: Hollingworth tape 1 25:38 "Health care is a challenge." "Oh, it certainly is, especially with what's happening now with the Medicaid being paid so badly. Track: Hollingworth points to accomplishments like the Medication bridges program she helped implement. Soundup: Hollingworth tape 1 26:53 "We just heard the figures for 2001, and we gave away $11 million in free drugs and served 7,600 people. Pretty good, for one year. Nice to meet you, and I hope you get the perfect bike. Track: And she has proposed a medical coverage alliance that would open to anyone who lives and works in NH. Track: With her granddaughters in hand, Hollingworth finds humor in the everyday absurdities of political campaigning,. Soundup: Hollingworth tape 1 29:35 "I'm reaching out and shaking everybody's hands. I'm shaking Julia and Claudia's." "Nice to see the next governor of NH. Welcome to Exeter." Bite: Hollingworth tape 5 1:48:00 GIVE ME A SENSE OF WHAT YOU THINK THE ELECTION IS ABOUT I think it's about fairness, I really believe that and I think most people recognize that. After September 11th people are ready to live up to the commitments they have. I truly believe that. I think nothing will demonstrate that more than what will happen on election day here. Track: For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. Soundup: Hollingworth tape 2 45:40 "You're going for it." "We're going to win it - it's going to be a great race." |

CREATIVITY FLOWS FREELY AT MOUNT SUNAPEE. HUNDREDS OF CRAFTSPEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE GRANITE STATE ARE GATHERING FOR THE ANNUAL LEAGUE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE CRAFTSMEN 'S FAIR. THE FAIR IS CELEBRATING IT'S 68-TH YEAR. AND IT'S AN EVENT RICH IN TRADITION. "The league of New hampshire craftsmen is one of the oldest crafts organizations in the country. and certainly in New England. It was founded back in the 1930's to actually help promote and encourage craftsmen. who are hands on craftspeople to do their own work. and to actually make a living from it." SOME 700 PEOPLE ARE MEMBERS OF THE LEAGUE. THEY ARE PART OF AN ELITE GROUP OF ARTISANS. THE BEST THE STATE HAS TO OFFER. EACH CRAFTSPERSON HAS TO PASS STRICT GUIDELINES TO BE ADMITTED AS A MEMBER. "Well. we really are looking for the technique to be very much hands-on. They can't be a factory, for instance. they really have to do the majority of the work themselves. and that their design concept is really their own. and not copying anybody else's work." FOR SOME IT'S THE SUBTLE THRILL OF WATCHING AN ORDINARY BLOCK OF CLAY TRANSFORM INTO BEAUTIFUL POTTERY. FOR OTHERS, IT'S CHANGING A CHUNK OF WOOD, SPLINTER BY SPLINTER, INTO A PINEAPPLE SHAPED GREETING. "The pineapple became an international welcome sign. From what I understand, in Hawaii, the fishermen used to go out to sea. And when they came back, they used to put a pineapple out on their stoop to show that they were back. so if people wanted to come and visit. " THESE CRAFTSMEN ARE MAKING SURE THE TRADITIONAL WAY OF DOING THINGS ISN'T FORGOTTEN. FROM FORGING RED-HOT IRON INTO SOMETHING PRACTICAL OR DECORATIVE. TO REPLICATING THE DELICATE AGE-OLD ART OF CALLIGRAPHY. BOB VERITY HAS SPENT THE PAST 13 YEARS MAKING BROOMS THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. "What I'm doing. I'm making a shaker flat broom. The Shakers were the ones who invented the present day flat broom. and the way they did it was by making a round broom. and adding a handful of broom corn on opposite sides. which is what I'm doing now." IT TAKES BOB 40 MINUTES TO MAKE EACH BROOM. HE SAYS THE SHAKERS OF OLD COULD DO THE JOB EVEN FASTER "Even though this fair FULL of creativity is 68 years old. hundreds of veteran artists come back year after year to take part. But this time-honored crafts fair is also a showcase for a NEW generation of craftperson" "The Next Generation is a great opportunity for children who are of the families of our craftspeople. These kids are obviously growing up in this environment. and they come here with their own product. They've been working all year long making their own beads. or wood pieces.whatever it is that they do." IN THE CASE OF 12-YEAR OLD EMILY ALLEN. SHE CREATES DOLLS MADE FROM CORN HUSKS. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. "My mom taught me how to do this. THIS is a gourd, this is a maracha shaker. and then i made some bird houses out of these gourds too. These are a lot harder to make than the corn husk dolls. they take a really long time." AT THIS FAIR. JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IS ABLE TO DISCOVER THE BUDDING ARTIST INSIDE. THE KIDS ESPECIALLY LOVE IT. "I made a tree-star ornament! . YES!. BUT THE YOUNG AT HEART HAVE FUN TOO. ". oh, I think it's just lovely. its a beautiful day and we're throughly enjoying it.. oh I think the woodcarving. and the pottery, thats what i like a lot. "You know.coming to the crafts fair can definitely be an inspiring experience. whether it's learning how to do calligraphy like this. or even being inspired to sew a quilt for a good cause." "We're ABC quilts. and we're at the fair this year making crib quilts for babies born at risk. The at-risk babies may be HIV positive. they may have fetal alcohol syndrome. they were born wounded in the womb due to their mothers drug and alcohol abuse during pregnancy. or they're abandoned.' CREATING ART WITH A LASTING IMPACT. THAT'S WHAT MANY OF THESE CRAFTSMEN HOPE FOR. FROM SUNAPEE, I'M TIM ESTILOZ FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK. |
