The aftermath of the Dover intelligent design trial continues to create issues that demand news coverage. This week, the Christian group Repent America is handing out fliers advertising an upcoming creationism vs. evolution event at Dover’s high school. http:\/\/www.ydr.com\/doverbiology\/ci_3557843<\/a>
\nAnd the impact of the local decision is being felt in courts and school districts in Ohio and elsewhere.
\nAnd other intriguing details are coming to light, too. Personal type of stuff.
\nJoe Maldonado, a York Daily Record\/Sunday News freelancer called to testify by the plaintiffs attorneys and ACLU in the federal court case, has penned some heartfelt poems written in the middle of the flurry of subpoenas that compelled his testimony.
\nYou might remember that Joe and fellow correspondent Heidi Bernhard-Bubb risked jail time and fines by staring down subpoenas for full testimony about their coverage of the then pro-ID Dover school board. They took the stand after the judge agreed to restrict their testimony to what was published. (See “Reporters emerge as heroes in Dover ID trial” in the York Town Square archives.)
\nAnyway, the prospect of jail weighed heavily on Joe and his family. Witness the following from his new poetry collection, “The 3 a.m. Journal of Joseph S. Maldonado.” …<\/p>\n


\nThe Day Before the Day
\n(Sept. 26, 2005)
\nIf tonight
\nis the last night for some time
\nthat i am free
\nthen i am pleased to spend it with you
\nOn the first perfect evening of fall
\nlistening to Fourplay
\nand Boney James
\ndrinking Shiraz
\nand eating crackers
\nThere isn’t one cloud
\nin the baby blue sky
\nThere isn’t one bird
\nsinging out of tune
\nWhatever the temperature is
\nit’s perfect
\nLike you
\nAs hard as this is on me
\nit’s at least as difficult on you
\nThank you for trying to hide it
\nBut i know
\nand love you more for it…
\nJust Said No
\n(Sept. 27, 2005)
\ni just said no
\nand was asked if i was sure
\ni wouldn’t change my mind
\ni’m sure
\nAre you<\/em> sure?
\nAre you sure you want to violate
\none set of Constitutional rights
\nto argue another?
\nAre you sure your case is so weak
\nthat you really need me?
\nAre you sure you want to make it
\nso that journalists everywhere
\nhave to read their subjects
\ntheir Miranda Rights
\nbefore starting any interview?
\ni’m very sure about what I’m doing
\nHow sure are you?
\nOvation
\n(Sept. 28, 2005)
\ni got a standing ovation
\nA STANDING OVATION!
\nwhen i returned to my office Wednesday
\nThe genuine heartfelt appreciation
\ngiven to me by my peers…
\ni’m not sure the rest of the world
\nunderstands the stand that was made
\nbut the ones who matter most
\ndo
\ni will absolutely bask in this memory
\nfor as long as my mind stays with me
\n\ufffd?
