Northern Kentucky police agencies are using new software to leverage all the local records and reports collected by multiple departments at the fingertips of a patrol officer in his cruiser. The system, the Northern Kentucky Data Interoperability, has been developed as a pilot program by International TechneGroup Inc. of Milford, Ohio. More than 40,000 police report records including speeding warnings and tickets can be searched live from a cruiser in any participating jurisdiction in Northern Kentucky now, said Fort Thomas Police Department Lt. Ken Fecher. Participating police agencies include Alexandria, Bellevue, Cold Spring, Covington, Ludlow, and the Kenton County Sheriff. The F.B.I.’s Covington office also shares limited information with the local departments. Fecher said an example of how the system will work is to use a previous case of police having stopped a man after receiving reports of suspicious man exposing himself to young girls. The man who was stopped wouldn’t admit to it, and a report was made, but later it was discovered that the man stopped was convicted of indecent exposure in Kenton County, Fecher said. “Had we known that in the field, we probably would have spent a little more time with him at the roadside,” Fecher said. Records already in KyOPS, a state data system, are not easily shared between local agencies and don’t have all the local information ranging from suspicious persons to neighborhood watch infor-

U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, far right, presents a $30,000 check to police officials for the purchase of equipment to run software for a new electronic police records sharing system at the Alexandria Community Center Jan. 11.

Ken Fecher, Alexandria Police Department Chief Mike Ward, Covington Police Department Chief Lee Russo, and Davis. mation, he said. Work is under way to bring Newport and Campbell County Police Department systems into the NKDI, Fecher said. “Those are two major populaces, and we can’t see their data,” he said. Fecher credited the donation of work from ITI Inc. for helping make the project a reality. The technical aspects of data interoperability is the mainstay of ITI’s business, but that’s mostly been in the private sector, said Mike Lemon, the CEO of ITI. It would be nice to say the donated time and work to create the NKDI system is completely altruistic, but being a business there must be some upside, Lemon said. ITI wants to understand the nuances of working with government directly and prove the company’s technology’s uses, he said. Northern Kentucky was selected for the NKDI project in part because many of ITI’s employee’s live in the area, Lemon said. “Northern Kentucky is fortu-

nate enough to have people like Mike Ward and Ken Fecher who have been driving cooperation and communication initiatives long before we engaged with them,” Lemon said. Alexandria Police Department Chief Mike Ward said also for the first time, federal officials can see more local data and can use it to keep the country safe, he said. “This system allows us to interact with and share information not only with local law enforcement, but with our federal partners as well,” Ward said. U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, RHebron, presented a grant check of $30,000 to the Alexandria Police Department at a Jan. 11 meeting that will pay for equipment to run the NKDI software. The problem of getting the information down to the right people that fits their decision making needs in a timely fashion is vital locally and for national security, Davis said. “Closing the time gaps of lack of information is what is important,” Davis said.

The Fort Thomas City Council has voted against a citizen’s request to re-join the Campbell County Cable Board. After receiving a request from a resident late last year, the council reviewed a d e c i s i o n Fort Thomas, made years ago to pull Dayton and out of the Newport are not cable board. F o r t currently Thomas, Dayton and members of the Newport are board, which not currently members of serves its the board, member cities which serves its member with a media cities with a center in media center in Highland Highland H e i g h t s available for Heights the public to available for the record programs and public to record gain access programs and to certain gain access to channels. C i t y certain Administrator Donald channels. Martin said the decision just reaffirmed the council’s current stance and policy regarding the board and the tax they charge members on their cable bill. “Back then the rate was 3 percent and they proposed raising it to 5 percent,” Martin said. “We pulled out and lowered the rate to 1 percent, which saved residents 4 percent on their cable bills.” This change saves residents almost $100,000, Martin said, and brings in about $24,000 for the city from the 1 percent. Out of that $24,000, about $5,000 is used to pay the board to record the city council and school board meetings and the rest goes into the city’s general fund, Martin said. “This is something that every two to three years, council may want to look at it again,” Martin said.

NKU College of Informatics and TANK team to deliver route alerts to riders A new technology resource from the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) and the Northern Kentucky University College of Informatics is keeping TANK customers out of the cold and on schedule this winter. The technology, a system called myTANK Alerts, allows Northern Kentucky bus riders to receive important customized route alerts to their mobile device or email inbox. The myTANK Alerts system is designed to distribute service interruption infor-

mation from the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky to subscribers efficiently and quickly. Service interruptions could include bus delays, detours or other factors that would require a change in a regular operation. The technology changes the way that information is obtained by riders. In the past similar information was only delivered to passengers that visited the TANK Web site. Now, the information is proactively delivered to riders. In addition, the information is customized to

When subscribing to myTANK Alerts, individuals are able to select the route(s) that matter to them. This ensures only the most pertinent information reaches each rider. “Our passengers can greatly benefit from having up-to-date information about the route they ride particularly in the event of inclement weather or route detours,” said Gina Douthat, TANK’s communications director. “This technology allows bus riders to take full advantage of their time waiting for the bus when bad weather forces changes to bus service.” Visit www.tankbus.org to subscribe to receive the alerts through SMS message and/or e-mail. The service is offered free of charge. Standard mobile phone provider messaging rates will apply when receiving alerts via SMS message. MyTANK Alerts is the most recent addition to a series of technological enhancements from collab-

oration between TANK and the NKU College of Informatics to improve and increase the use of public transit in Northern Kentucky. In January of 2009 the TANK trip planner was introduced to riders, which integrated TANK routes with Google Transit. The trip planner made it possible to plan routes dynamically from a computer or smart phone using a program on the Internet, accessible from computers and mobile devices. Over 42,000 trips have been planned through the service since its launch. In June 2007, TANK began offering free Wi-Fi on several of its buses and has since expanded the program with the inclusion of additional buses, which has resulting in over 22,000 wireless connections made to date. In addition, select buses are outfitted with televisions that utilize the onbus Wi-Fi to deliver news, weather and events through collaboration with WCPO.

Senator Denise Harper Angel, D-Louisville, filed legislation that would require the posting of calorie information in Kentucky restaurants. Harper Angel has been advocating this legislation for the past two sessions, and this year, Rep. Kelly Flood, D-Lexington, will file a companion bill in the House of Representatives. The proposed legislation would make it mandatory for chain restaurants in Kentucky with at least 20 locations nationwide to provide calorie information on menus and menu boards for all standard menu items. "Displaying calorie information in this manner is a common sense approach that would allow consumers to exercise personal responsibility by providing them with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions," said Harper Angel. "C-MEAL would allow people to make better dining choices." "Americans eat away from home now more than ever. My home district of Lexington ranks ninth per

capita in fast food restaurants. They are a part of our busy lives. Without this information, dining out is a guessing game - one that impacts the health and wellbeing of families," said Flood. The bill has received endorsements from the Kentucky Medical Association; Kentucky Nurses Association; Kentucky Public Health Association; Kentucky Diabetes Network, Kentucky Dietetic Association, Kentucky Alliance of YMCAs; American Heart Association; Kentucky Children's Health and Fitness Fund; Lexington Fayette County Health Department; Northern Kentucky University Wellness Center; Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness; Kentucky Youth Advocates, and Kentucky Voices for Health. “Obesity continues to be a growing problem in this country and the problem is not just among adults, but it is also affecting our children and teenagers,” Harper Angel said. “We are much more sedentary than our

Kentucky’s seasonally adjusted preliminary unemployment rate rose to 10.7 percent in December 2009 from a revised 10.6 percent in November 2009, according to the Office of Employment and Training (OET), an agency of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. December 2009’s jobless rate is 3.1 percentage points higher than the 7.6 percent rate recorded in December 2008 for Kentucky. The 10.7 percent rate recorded in December 2009 is the highest since October 2009 when the unemployment rate reached 11.3 percent. The U.S. seasonally adjusted jobless rate remained at 10 percent from November 2009 to December 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly estimate of the number of employed Kentuckians for December 2009 was 1,840,795 on a seasonally adjusted basis. This figure is down 5,035 from the 1,845,830

employed in November 2009, and down 64,633 from the 1,905,428 employed in December 2008. The monthly estimate of the number of unemployed Kentuckians for December 2009 was 221,052, up 2,546 from the 218,506 Kentuckians unemployed in November 2009, and up 64,262 from the 156,790 unemployed in December 2008. The monthly estimate of the number of Kentuckians in the civilian labor force for December 2009 was 2,061,847. This figure is down 2,489 from the 2,064,336 recorded in November 2009, and down 371 from the 2,062,218 recorded in December 2008. Civilian labor force statistics include non-military workers and unemployed Kentuckians who are actively seeking work. They do not include unemployed Kentuckians who have not looked for employment within the past four weeks.

grandparents and greatgrandparents and we are eating high calorie, high fat foods. Diet and exercise are two key factors in the weight problem facing Kentucky and the nation. Obesity leads to countless health problems, among those are diabetes, cancer and -- the number one cause of death in every single county in Kentucky -heart disease.” This type of legislation is not a new concept in the United States. Menu labeling has been implemented in Seattle, New York City and Westchester County, NY. Menu labeling legislation has passed, but implementation has not yet taken place in California, Maine, Oregon, Massachusetts, Nashville, Philadelphia and three counties in New York State. Kentucky is one of 15 states that have proposed menu labeling legislation. This legislation appeals not just to adults, but also to teenagers. "It is often assumed that people, especially teenagers, like the food they like, no matter how detrimental it is

to their health. But maybe the facts, the startling truth, would change their minds,” said Julie Babbage, a senior at Lexington Catholic High School, who along with other members of the Governor's Scholars Program studied nutrition this past summer. C-MEAL legislation will be considered during the 2010 Legislative Session. "As registered dietitians within the state of Kentucky, we are excited to lend our support to this important legislation, which would make Kentucky a leader in nutrition health policy, said Amanda Goldman, MS, RD, LD, President of the Kentucky Dietetic Association.

Vision for healthy community offered

Women’s center has new leader By Paul McKibben pmckibben@nky.com

Susan Asher started as the new executive director of the Women’s Crisis Center Jan. 4. Asher’s last job was the executive director for the United Way of Central Kentucky in Elizabethtown. She grew up in Louisville. The Women’s Crisis Center last year opened its new regional services center in Hebron. The Women’s Crisis Center serves 13 Kentucky counties including Boone, Campbell and Kenton. Asher answered via email a few questions for The Community Recorder. Q: Why did you apply for this job? A: At one point in my life I worked with adolescents that were in long-term inpatient treatment for addiction. Most of them grew up in families with a history of domestic violence. They reached for alcohol or drugs to escape from the emotional pain of their family life. Domestic violence leaves

PAUL MCKIBBEN/STAFF

Susan Asher is the new executive director of the Women’s Crisis Center that serves Northern Kentucky. emotional scars that take a lifetime to heal. Q: What will be your goals during your tenure? A: Our goal is to bring about the social change needed to end violence against women. We have very promising primary prevention initiatives that we will be working with. Until we can end violence against women, we will continue to provide them with the services they need to rebuild their lives. Q: What is the biggest challenge the Women’s Crisis Center faces? A: Nonprofit organizations are constantly chal-

lenged to find the funding they need to keep their doors open. We are no different. Social issues such as unemployment and foreclosures increase the stress our families are under. Increased stress contributes to family violence. We have seen an increase in our need for services at a time when many of our funding sources have decreased. Q: What is the center’s most important asset? A: The knowledge, compassion, and kindness of our staff continues to be our biggest asset. It has been several years since they have had a raise. Some have

taken pay cuts. But, it never affects the level of professionalism they bring to the job each and every day. Q: Do you foresee the Women’s Crisis Center opening additional facilities and expanding programs? A: Unless the economic picture changes significantly, we are not positioned to add new programs or facilities. Q: How can the people of Northern Kentucky help the center succeed? A: We are always in need of volunteers and donations. We are always in need of people willing to speak up against any type of violence.

One of the main thrusts of Northern Kentucky’s Vision 2015 strategic planning initiative is to build livable communities. Vision 2015 and the Northern Kentucky Health Department have partnered to conduct ongoing health and social assessments and implement a comprehensive regional approach to meet and fund those needs. The result of the planning process is two reports: Vision for a Healthy and Vibrant Community, released Jan. 14, and a child health report, to be released by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in early February. In June 2008, an assessment was launched to help Northern Kentucky prioritize issues and identify resources for addressing some of our most daunting communitywide health challenges. More than 200 individuals and 120 organizations participated in the assessment and nearly 2,000 residents responded to a community survey. After months of engagement and work, the assessment wrapped up in

November 2009 and the following strategic issues were some of those identified to be of highest priority to Northern Kentucky residents: • Strategic Issue No. 1: How does the region improve access to primary care, mental health services, substance abuse services and dental services to lowincome families in the most cost effective and coordinated manner? • Strategic Issue No. 2: How can we achieve a defined and measurable collaborative effort between businesses, government and nonprofit sectors to comprehensively address the interrelated issues facing our community? The report can be found online on the Web site of the Northern Kentucky Health Department, http://www.nkyhealth.org

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com Since her high school teacher inspired her love of art, it has been a big part of Judi Haynes’ life. After sharing that part of her life with students at Fourth Street Elementary School since 1982 and this year at Mildred Dean Elementary School, Haynes is getting the recognition Fourth Street Principal Emily Daniels said she really deserves. Haynes, who serves as the president of the Kentucky Art Education Association, has been selected by her peers to receive the National Elementary Art Educator of the Year award from the National Art Education Association. “We’re all very excited for Dr. Haynes, she works very hard to make sure kids understand and enjoy art,” Daniels said. “We are

privileged to have her at our school.” Haynes said she comes from a family of educators and loves teaching elementary school students. “Kids are just so creative at the elementary level and are so less inhibited,” Haynes said. Throughout her career, Haynes has also taught in the art programs at Northern Kentucky University, University of Cincinnati and the Art Academy of Cincinnati, while still creating her own art. “I believe in teaching art while continuing to be a practicing artist,” Haynes said. Haynes will receive her award in April at the 2010 National Art Education Association National Convention in Maryland. “I’m thrilled to receive this, there are just no other words,” Haynes said.

A club of teens at Campbell County High School believe they’re not too young to make a positive impact on the world. Called Generation Believe, the 80-member club is in its second year, but the name isn’t about being a faith-based group, but rather about the belief that young people can make a difference even if they’re freshman, said president and club founder Sarah Franzen, a junior, of Alexandria. “We believe that we can make a difference in our school, in our community and the world,” Franzen said. Club members organize dozens of giving efforts each year for local, national and international charitable efforts. Their latest effort has been the collection of about 50 gently used pairs of shoes that will go to countries in Africa through Matthew

Franzen said there are some groups like National Honor Society that freshman can’t just come in and participate in, so she worked with Spanish teacher Toni Schneller to create the group. In eighth grade, Franzen said she remembered going to soup kitchens and other charities as a volunteer and that she wanted to continue that.

There is always an opportunity for students to get involved and run with organizing an effort to help a cause they’re interested in, said club vice president Tara LaMendola, a junior, of Alexandria. LaMendola said she communicates what the club is doing through regular Facebook message updates. Club historian Tori LaMendola, twin sister of Tara, said the club wants to create a level playing field with all the members and the people the members help and be inclusive. “We’re also very friendly with everyone, we just get involved in people’s lives,” she said.

Crafters to help create school scholarship fund By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

The Catholic Order of Foresters are pulling together to help out parents who recently had to start paying tuition for their children to attend St. Catherine of Siena School.

Last year the school, which has historically been a stewardship school funded by the parish, began charging tuition. “The foresters thought the scholarships would be a small way that they can give back to their members,” said Sue Ann Freeman, a parent and volunteer

at the school. “Forester members will be able to apply for the scholarship.” Freeman said since the scholarship is new, how they will be awarded is yet to be determined. To raise money for the fund, the St. Catherine foresters are hosting a Spring Craft Show from

9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 20, at St. Catherine of Siena School, 1803 N. Fort Thomas Ave. “We are hoping to get a variety of crafters,” Freeman said. “Since this is the first year we are hoping that any and all crafters are interested in participating and showing

their items.” Booths, which consist of a 10foot space, are available for $25. Interested crafters can call Margie Schnelle at 409-9909.

Newport headed to All ‘A’ tourney

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

For the first time since 1962, the Newport boys’ basketball team is headed to a state tournament.

Newport won the All “A” regional for the first time. The Wildcats are the first public school to win the Ninth Region title since 1990. NewCath has won nine titles since then. The Wildcats will play DeSales 12 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28 at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond. Aric Russell became the second head coach to win the All “A” title in both boys’ and girls. “This is my ninth year with the boys’ team and this is something we’ve been wanting to do the whole time,” Russell said. “I’m just really excited.” Senior Demarkco Foster

Grant Pangallo had 13 points for NewCath. Luther broke a 39-all tie in the final minute for the win. Newport was scheduled to have a pep rally for the team Wednesday afternoon. A win Thursday puts the Wildcats in a quarterfinal matchup 6:30 p.m. Friday. The semifinals are Saturday and finals at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

Brossart boys bid for state champs By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com

The Brossart Mustangs boys basketball team earned the Tenth Region All “A” Championship and will travel to Richmond to compete for the state championship beginning Jan. 28. The Mustangs won three games in four days in the regional tournament, defeating Paris, Bracken County, and Nicholas County by an average of 15 points per win. “One of our main goals in the regular season was to win this tournament and get to go down to Richmond,” said head coach Mike Code. The competition in the regional tournament was tough and it will only get tougher at the state tournament in Richmond. The Mustangs will need to win four games in four straight days to bring home the All “A” state title. The Mustangs open with Hazard at 1:30 p.m. Thurs-

The Mustangs have already secured the top seed for the postseason district tournament. Brossart is in the midst of its second long winning streak of the season. The 14-2 Mustangs opened the season by winning their first eight games, then dropped their only two losses of the season before getting back on track and winning six in a row. The All “A” tournament is great preparation for the postseason. “Any time you get to play in a tournament like this it helps prepare you for the postseason atmosphere,” said Code. Freshman Justin Saunders and sophomore Zach Fardo have steadily progressed defensively to complement the upperclassmen in the Mustangs’ rotation. “Our young kids are really improving on defense,” said Code. “We are making a real good push in practice working on our defensive

The bowling season is past the halfway point for Northern Kentucky schools. Teams have completed either seven or eight matches in the 12-week schedule. Seven points are awarded in each match, 84 for the season. Bowlers compete in four districts in each gender. The district champs qualify for the regional tournament. In boys’ action, district leaders are Boone County, Dixie Heights, Newport and Holy Cross. Campbell County, the 2009 state runner-up, is led Matthew Chalk at 193.7 (third in NKY). Tyler Losey, Austin Richardson Jake Harris and Trey Brun also average over 180.

Newport beat Bishop Brossart 6-1 Jan. 21 in a key match in District 3. Andrew Marsee leads a balanced Wildcat lineup at 185.3. In girls’, Notre Dame, Campbell County and Scott are in a tight battle in District 2. Campbell and Scott meet this week at Southern Lanes in Alexandria. Campbell meets Notre Dame Feb. 4 and NDA and Scott square off Feb. 18. For the Camels, Brianne Vogelpohl (163.8), Sara DeMoss (162.4) and Erica Biddle (158.7) are all in the top six in Northern Kentucky. Newport is in control in District 3.

Senior Justin Morscher has given the team a spark over the last few weeks, said Code. Senior Jordan Armstrong is the team’s defensive leader and also the secondleading scorer. Code is pleased with the way his team has limited turnovers all season, but would like to see his team’s free throw shooting improve. After the All “A” state tournament, the Mustangs host four of their final six regular season games. As always, defense will be the key to the Mustangs postseason success. “Defense has been the key for us for years,” said Code. “Our pressure defense is one of our staples.”

Transparency needed in talks

President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress have spent nearly a year entirely focused on one goal: a costly government takeover of health care. On Christmas Eve, the Senate passed its deeply flawed version of health care “reform” (H.R. 3590) by a vote of 60-39. The House of Representatives passed Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s version of the bill (H.R. 3962) on Nov. 7. While substantial differences between the two versions of health care legislation remain, both rely on a combination of tax increases, Medicare cuts and a much larger role for the federal government in health care decisions. Sadly, both bills fail to truly reform our health care system or reduce cost. Negotiations are now under way between Democratic leadership in the House and the Senate to resolve the differences between the two bills. Although President Obama repeatedly promised to broadcast health care negotiations on C-SPAN for all Americans to see, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have chosen once again to hide the health care debate behind closed doors. Pelosi pledged to lead the “most open and transparent Congress in history.” Despite her assurance, Democratic leaders have made a habit of rushing legislation to the House floor for a vote without allowing sufficient time for members of Congress or the American public to read and examine its contents. Case in point: last June, House Democrats forced a vote on their cap and trade legislation that would impose a sweeping national energy tax. The final text of the 1,201-page legislation was not released until 3:09 a.m. on the morning of the vote.

Rather than include the public in the discussion on the right way to improve our health care system, Democratic leaders seem more interested in U.S. Rep. pushing their peragenda for Geoff Davis sonal reform in secret. Community C-SPAN CEO Lamb Recorder Brian guest offered to provide medium for fulcolumnist afilling President Obama’s promise and sent a letter to Pelosi and Reid requesting they allow all health care negotiations to be broadcast live. You can view the C-SPAN letter at http://GeoffDavis.house.gov/Uplo adedFiles/Cspan_letter.pdf. In addition to backing CSPAN’s request, I joined over 150 House Republicans in sponsoring a resolution (H. Res. 847) in support of public negotiations and meetings on health care legislation. In this time of record unemployment and economic recession, Americans have every right to be concerned about the true cost and implications of health care reform legislation. In order to successfully reform health care, we need to ensure that the final legislation is crafted in the open with input from members from both sides of the aisle. The people deserve the opportunity to know what is at stake and share their views with their elected representatives before the final vote on health care occurs. U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Hebron, is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Will you still watch American Idol after Simon Cowell leaves?

Next question For which team will you root in the Super Bowl? Why?

“I did not watch it before he left. Why would I start now?” F.S.D. “Of course. I watch for the (wacky!) contestants, not Simon. I usually don’t watch until the end of the season, when there are about 8 contestants left who actually are talented, but I have caught a couple episodes already this season ... and boy is that funny!!! “Contrary to what Simon might think, his departure won’t be that devastating of a blow. It’ll be good with or without him. It’ll still be fun and entertaining ... and America will still have the (ultimate) vote at the finale, which is what matters on this show. “Pants on the ground ...” Joy K. “Yes, as long as Ellen stays!” N.H. “Yes, because it’s about the participants, not the judges. If you’ve watched the preliminary auditions, they’ve had various guest judges. “Simon has softened since he began. I think he’s become more

It’s more interesting to have different judges than the same three all the time.” R.L.H. “I never could watch ‘American Idol’ in the first place. All it ever represented to me was the continued commoditization of what should be considered an art form. “It churns out a bunch of indistinguishable shapeshifters who perform songs the record company already owns so it won’t have to pay the performer royalties, but can still pay themselves an exorbitant amount of money in return. Which leaves the true originals and innovators out in the dust to fend for themselves.” N.A.B. “I never have watched ‘American Idol,’ so Cowell’s departure means nothing to me. Our household watches PBS almost exclusively, except for sporting events.” M.P.B.

Remebering MLK

The fourth-graders in Mrs. Webb’s class at St. Mary took some time to learn more about Martin Luther King using literacy circles. Each group read a different book about Martin Luther King and shared information with their classmates. Jessica King, Lydia Kramer, Jaclyn Fischesser, and Natalie Kyle are intrigued with the book “My Dream of Martin Luther King.”

Child support laws and regulations I was recently asked to do an article on child support law. Particularly, the question was can a person who is a minor, i.e. has not yet reached the age of majority, be required to pay child support. In Kentucky the age of majority is 18. It is probably best to start the discussion with some generalities concerning support. The law in Kentucky follows the same concepts as are generally held nationwide and that have developed from common law. It is generally understood that it is the biological or adopted parents who owe a duty to support their children. This obligation is not dependent on marriage, but on a moral and social obligation to support the children one has brought into the world. Our courts, like most throughout the nation, believe a child’s right to support is owed by a child’s parents and not the government. As such, Kentucky law has developed many provisions dealing with the obligation to pay child support and criminal charges and other remedies for failure to pay child support. Under Kentucky law, a person is guilty of criminal non-support when he persistently fails to provide support which he can reasonably provide and which he knows he has a duty to provide to his child or when he is delinquent in paying court ordered child support for at least two months. Non Support is a Class A Misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine and one year in jail. For a second offense, there is a minimum sentence of seven days in jail and for a third or subsequent offense a minimum sentence of 30 days in jail. A person is guilty of Flagrant Non Support when he persistently fails to pay support which he can reasonably provide and which he knows he has a duty to provide to a child and there is a child support arrearage of $1,000 or more or six consecutive months have elapsed without the payment of any sup-

port or failure to pay support has left the child in destitute circumstances. Criminal Flagrant Non Support is a Class D Felony with possible prison James A. time of one to five Daley years. As a side note, Community and to the surRecorder prise of many, guest Kentucky’s Crimicolumnist nal Non Support Laws also apply to a child 18 years of age or older residing in this state having a duty to provide support to a parent who is destitute of means of subsistence and unable because of old age, infirmity or illness to support himself or herself. The law in Kentucky also provides additional avenues to enable and to help collect child support through means other than filing criminal non support charges. Some of those means include withholding delinquent child support from Kentucky’s lottery winnings, from tax refunds, from tort claims against the state and from tobacco settlement agreement funds. That law also has provisions to suspend someone’s driver’s license if there is a six month child support arrearage and provides that the Cabinet for Families and Children can enforce a child support lien by the immobilization of a vehicle registered in the obligor’s name when there is at least a six month arrearage in child support. As to the question asked, yes, in Kentucky Judges often order persons who have not reached the age of majority (minors) to pay child support. This is not to say that a minor will automatically be required to pay support for their minor child. Judges have wide discretion in these matters and base their decisions on a wide variety of factors in the individual case and, as importantly, on the circumstances of the minor parent.

About guest columns

We welcome guest columns on all sides of an issue; however, potential columnists should reserve space in advance with Editor Michelle Shaw by calling 578-1053. Include with your column your name, address, daytime telephone number, and a twoto-three line biography outlining your expertise related to this topic. Either include a color headshot of yourself, or make arrangements when you call to have your photo taken here. We reserve the right to edit for length, accuracy and clarity. Columns may be no more than 500 words. Deadline: Noon Friday for next Thursday’s issue. E-mail: mshaw@communitypress.com Letters, columns and articles submitted to The Community Recorder may be published or distributed in print, electronic or other forms. By way of example, if the minor parent is a full time high school student and doing relatively well, the Court may consider whether a part time or summer job is feasible for the minor parent. Some Judges set the statutory minimum of $60 per month for every case. If the minor parent is in the custody of the state, generally the Judge does not set any support. In our Campbell County Child Support Office, we will take application for services to set support against a minor parent. The procedures are a little different and generally, unless the minor is otherwise emancipated, the parents of the “minor parent” are involved in the action. I hope this information is interesting and helpful. If you have any topics you would like to have covered in this column, please mail to me at 331 York Street, Newport, Kentucky 41071 or fax to me at 491-5932 or e-mail our office at jadcca@fuse.net.

Senior games offers activity, socializing

CATCH A STAR

Highlands High School Coach Dale Mueller directs quarterback Will Bardo during a game. Mueller was named the 2010 Russell Athletic National Coach of the Year.

Highlands coach receives national recognition For 16 years Dale Mueller has been coaching football at Highlands High School, teaching his players about football and beyond that, life. In honor of his commitment to the players and football program, Mueller received the 2010 Russell Athletic National Coach of the Year award at the Army All-American Bowl Coaches Academy banquet Friday, Jan. 8. “The entire Highlands community is so very proud of Coach Mueller,” said Highlands Principal Brian Robinson. “The positive impact he had made on the young men he coaches and mentors, as well as the school as a whole, is even more impressive than his win-loss record,” Robinson said. Mueller said while it was fun to be the one to accept

the award, credit goes not only to him, but to the rest of the coaching staff and the players, who play so well. “I consider this to be a team of the year award, and I’m proud to be part of this team,” Mueller said. “We’re just a small school in Kentucky and we’re ranked third in the country by USA Today.” Superintendent John Williamson said Mueller’s dedication reaches beyond just football. “What many may not know is that he is also just as strong an academic teacher in the classroom,” Williamson said. “He is one of our employees who truly has taken our tradition to the next level.” Along with coaching and serving as the district’s athletic director, Mueller also teaches science.

Old age isn’t keeping some northern Kentucky residents from getting out and being active. Dozens of senior citizens came together Thursday, Jan. 21 for the Northern Kentucky Senior Games Winter Edition at the Fort Thomas Armory. “I’ve been doing the senior games for nine or 10 years,” said 87-year-old Pat Collins. “It gives me chance to get out, stay active and socialize with other seniors in the area.” The half-day winter edition of the senior games differs in games and set-up from the spring edition, which runs from Monday, May 10 through Friday, May 14. The winter edition includes indoor events ranging from shuffle board and billiards to basketball and cup stacking. “The winter edition is primarily meant to offer seniors something to do in the winter time to get them

Chamber promotes free enterprise young audience initiative

Since the launch of the U.S. Chamber Campaign for Free Enterprise, the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce has been making strides to support the principles of the campaign. Recently, the NKY Chamber and Education Alliance of Northern Kentucky have announced with Junior Achievement (JA) to implement Free Enterprise ideas in middle schools, as part of the Campaign’s Youth Initiative. The Free Enterprise Campaign’s goal is to educate Americans about the value of ingenuity in creating new jobs and the need to preserve the Free Enterprise system that makes the American econo-

my so unique. According to Gary Beatrice, President, Business Benefits, “In my mind we owe it to our country to instill in our young people an understanding and appreciation for this uniquely American trait; we owe it to our children and to our future generations to cultivate and develop our future entrepreneurs”. This partnership project plans to consist of up to 60 volunteers from the NKY Chamber Board and member companies who are willing to use the identified curriculum at area middle schools and present the message of Free Enterprise in late winter and early spring of this year. This partnership will not only help meet goals of the Free Enterprise Campaign, but also allow JA to reach and educate additional middle school students. If you are interested in being part of this effort, contact Amanda Dixon at adixon@nkychamber.com for more information.

A marital lament: ‘You’re not the person I married’ Eventually, one spouse may lament to the other, “You’re not the person I married.” Actually, they never were. They were always somebody else, a stranger barely known years ago and known only a little better now. Some reasons for our partial knowledge of another person is the depth of their person and the psychological mysteries he or she carries there. Add to that the habits developed over years and our limited understanding and insights, and one can see why our conclusions of knowing another are vast understatements. Besides, when we’re young and the other person is popular, has a beautiful body, or an abundance of money – who cares about knowing them?

There are other h u m a n tendencies that can obscure our knowing a perFather Lou son, even eone Guntzelman saso m close as Perspectives a spouse. O n e tendency is that of projection. We project onto other persons faults or qualities we expect or think we see in them. (A bride believes she sees in her husband some of her father’s characteristics, and a groom thinks he sees in his bride characteristics of his mother.) Like a movie projector casts images on a screen some distance away, so we cast (project) suspected qualities or faults onto other

people. Then we claim we know them. Actually, we may have placed in them some of the alleged characteristics we claim we see. Living together on a daily basis ever so gradually wears away these projections. The loss of our projections leaves our partner as she, or he, actually is. Where we wanted agreement, we may be called upon to accept differences; where we imagined we’d find the other half that makes us whole, we must now recognize that there is rather a whole person other than me. And I must learn the difficult task of loving otherness. We can never love our partner’s otherness unless we have a good sense of what it is to be that person. After all, that’s the essence of growing through relationships, isn’t it?

Joining my life with someone else’s is not just expecting more of me, but learning to care about, communicate with, and compromise with someone who is other than me. That’s the work of relationships that produce mature people and develop true love. Another tendency that prompts the complaint, “You’re not the person I married,” is the old illusion of the Magical Other. We are haunted in adulthood by the cozy nostalgia of infancy and childhood. So we continue to unconsciously look for a special person (termed the Magical Other) who will treat us with the positive parental care of earlier times. We look for someone who will give us whatever we need or want, who will erase loneliness, make us the center of their life, tend

to our pleasure, take away our fears, handle our responsibilities, and keep threatening ghosts out of our room. What a tall order! What an impossible order for another human being! How difficult it is for us to realize that whomever we draw close to is just another human like us. In fact, they are also projecting and looking for their Magical Other – whom, by the way, they think might be you. Partners certainly can ask each other for love, support, understanding and forgiveness. But he or she is not my rescuer, nor my enemy, but my partner. In one way, it’s a step forward to realize, “You’re not the person I married.” The one we married was originally an impressionistic painting. He or she was painted with tones of infatu-

ation, illusion, desire and a touch of naiveté. Hopefully much of that has washed off. Now it’s time to say, “I don’t see you any longer as my mother or father, or as my Magical Other to rescue me from the challenges of life, or the one to serve me as I was taken care of as a child. “I still choose you as my partner. Let us continue together as adults to learn more of each other and this wonderful mystery of relational love and life.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Chili, chowder to chase the cold away goetta, and I am sure that pork shoulder had a nice layer of fat. Well, I found fresh pork shoulder with WOW, a nice layer of fat and used it for goetta (I also added hot sausage and some seasonings). Now I know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking: fat is bad, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that much and boy, did it add flavor. The consensus from my family is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever made. My son, Shane, was scooping it out of the pot and putting it directly on bread. Look for a column soon just on goetta. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that popular. And if you have a goetta recipe to share, please do.

We ate the perfect breakfast today: homemade goetta and fresh eggs from â&#x20AC;&#x153;the girlsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my chickens. After years of making goetta and trying to replicate my Germ a n mother-inl a w â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s recipe, which was Rita so simple Heikenfeld ( p o r k shoulder, Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen o n i o n s , celery, bay leaf, pinhead oats, salt and pepper) it dawned on me that the reason hers was so good was that they slaughtered their own pigs for the

Cook beef with onion until meat is done. Drain if necessary. Stir in peas, tomatoes and 5 cups juice. Stir in noodles and seasonings. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, and stir several times. Turn heat to simmer and cook about 15 minutes longer until noodles are done. If mixture starts looking dry, add a cup of tomato juice. Sprinkle cheese on top and the heat from the chowder will melt the cheese.

Curves wants to make women stronger, healthier

Curves locations in the Florence area will be joining other Curves facilities throughout the world this January in a company-wide campaign called Stronger + Together, an international movement to make one million women healthier in 2010. The program will rely heavily on women sharing

their success stories and providing confidence and inspiration to others. The heart of the program is at www.Curves.com/ StrongerTogether, where women can find useful information about the new campaign, register for the campaign to join the cause, share their personal stories about how they were able to start a healthier lifestyle, and find a myriad of useful tools, such as easy-to-send emails designed for women to send messages of inspiration to loved ones and the option to create a personal profile to promote their story on the Web site. According to Curves Founder Diane Heavin, a strong component of Curvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new campaign is that if one woman is able to share her strength in wanting to improve her health, she can

help another woman gain confidence, become fit, discover focus and avoid disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By making your own health a priority, you become a strong link in the chain and have the power to affect those around you,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to take on this new, ground-breaking challenge because there are so many women out there suffering from preventable diseases. If we can get just a million women focused on getting healthier and stronger, those diseases can be avoided," Heavin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's important that women make their health a priority, and we are here to help every step of the way. We challenge women to take charge of their lives: live better, longer, healthier and with more confidence.â&#x20AC;?

With the campaign comes a â&#x20AC;&#x153;join now and get 30 days freeâ&#x20AC;? promotion to get women on the bandwagon of getting healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our existing members in the Florence area community have demonstrated that they are committed to improving their health by joining our programs; we want to use that confidence as an example for other women to also make that commitment,â&#x20AC;? Heavin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just takes that first step to get the cycle going, and that could be joining a regular exercise program like Curves, being informed of health topics, or listening to success stories to inspire you to stay focused. We are excited to help make women stronger in our own communities, as well as throughout the world, with this campaign!â&#x20AC;?

Studies have shown that regular exercise has longlasting benefits to health. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It helps reduce risks of a myriad of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and some cancers. Besides preventing the risk of disease, regular exercise also improves your mental health and mood, your ability to do daily activities, and increase your chances of living longer, the organization says. Curvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 30-minute circuit training helps women work every major muscle group, strengthen their hearts and burn up to 500 calories with each workout.

SCHOOL NOTES Cadle earns scholarship

Anthony Cadle, a senior at Dayton High School, has been awarded a $1,000 Touchstone Energy All “A” Scholarship. Cadle was among 84 seniors from Kentucky’s smallest high schools who came to Richmond in hopes their interviews would earn them $1,000 college scholarships. The interviews, part of the 2010 Touchstone Energy All “A” Classic, were held at Eastern Kentucky University’s Perkins Conference Center in Richmond. Students at the state’s 125 smallest schools qualify for various Kentucky All “A” programs in academics and sports, including $1,000 Touchstone Energy All “A” Scholarships. More than 600 students from all areas of the Commonwealth applied for the awards. Of those, 110 were selected for last Saturday’s event, and 84 showed up for the interviews, which were conducted by panels of business people and educators from across the state. Cadle was among the 50 students receiving $1,000 cash scholarships; an additional 20 school specific

scholarships are still being processed. The All “A” Classic has awarded nearly $1 million in academic awards since it started giving scholarships about 20 years ago, according to the classic’s chairperson Stan Steidel of Cold Spring. “We’re as proud and as excited as we can be,” Steidel said. “This program would not be possible without the sponsorship and cooperation of Touchstone Energy, the city of Richmond and Eastern Kentucky University.”

Scholarships

National College is now accepting applications for the Chairman’s and President’s Scholarship awards from graduating high school students of accredited secondary schools. The Chairman’s and President’s Scholarships are funded by the College and awarded to qualified high school seniors who will attend a National College campus. Deadline to apply is April 1, 2010. Up to 20 Chairman’s Scholarships of $2,500 and up to 20 President’s Scholarships of $1,500 will be awarded to students attending any of National’s 26 campuses in Virginia, Kentucky, Ten-

nessee, Ohio, and Indiana. Awards will be given to seniors whose academic and extra-curricular activities demonstrate promise, a desire to succeed, and a commitment to making a positive contribution to others. Eligible candidates must also show potential for successfully completing a college degree or diploma program with National College. Interested applicants should visit www.nationalcollege.edu and click “Financial Assistance” then “National College-Funded Financial Assistance Programs” for more information or to download a copy of the application form.

KBC on alert for Haiti Relief

Readers on vacation

Barbara Beiting of Highland Heights with Joyce Leopold at Camel Rocks while visiting Santa Fe in December. PROVIDED

American Red Cross aiding Haiti relief The American Red Cross is sending money, supplies and staff to Haiti to support relief efforts there after the Jan. 12 earthquake, which caused catastrophic damage and loss of life. According to reports, as many as three million people may have been affected by the quake, which collapsed government buildings and caused major damage to hospitals in the area. The Red Cross is contributing an initial $1 million from the International Response Fund to support the relief operation, and has opened its warehouse in Panama to provide tarps, mosquito nets and cooking sets for approximately 5,000 families. In addition to Red Cross staff already in Haiti, six disaster management specialists are being deployed to the disaster zone to help

Cross staff worked throughout the night to rescue people still trapped in their homes and provide first aid. The priority remains to provide food, water, temporary shelter, medical services and emotional support. The American Red Cross already had 15 staff in Haiti providing ongoing HIV/AIDS prevention and disaster preparedness programs. All are reported to be safe and responding to the disaster. While communication with those in Haiti is still difficult, people should contact the U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Citizens Services at 1-888407-4747 if trying to reach a U.S. citizen living or traveling in Haiti. If trying to reach a Haitian citizen, callers should continue to call or contact other family members who live nearby.

coordinate relief efforts. At this time, the American Red Cross is only deploying volunteers specially trained to manage international emergency operations. There has been an outpouring of support from the public. To help, people can make an unrestricted donation to the International Response Fund at www. cincinnatiredcross.org or by calling 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767). The public can also help by texting “Haiti” to 90999 to send a $10 donation to the Red Cross, through an effort backed by the U.S. State Department. Funds will go to support American Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti. Debris and collapsed bridges are making access to many areas extremely difficult. Telephone service and electricity are out in many places. Haitian Red

Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief is on alert for the developing Southern Baptist relief effort aimed at helping Haitians affected by the deadly earthquake that hit the island on Jan. 12. According to Kentucky Baptist Convention Disaster Relief Associate Coy Webb, the KBC will “more than likely send an assessment team within the next week, but everything right now depends upon transportation.” Webb said the main airport in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian city most affected by the earthquake, is closed and that security is a serious concern. Once transportation reopens, a small team of Kentucky and Mississippi Baptists will travel down to conduct initial assessment of the needs. “There is tremendous devastation. The estimates are already at 50,000 casualties and tens of thousands of people left homeless,” Webb said. Southern Baptist missionaries stationed in the Dominican Republic prior to the quake have already been able to respond and are currently setting up a feeding

from Baptist Global Response, the Southern Baptist Convention’s international relief and development organization, Florida Baptists are leading the initial relief effort since the International Mission Board does not have long-term personnel stationed in the country. Florida Baptists have had ministry relationships for more than 20 years and have staff members stationed in the country. The effort is already anticipated to last several years. Kentucky Baptists desiring to help are encouraged to give monetary donations through the KBC’s fund designated for the Haiti relief effort. Contributions may be sent to the KBC, P.O.

operation to begin meeting the needs of those left homeless by the disaster, he said. After the assessment takes place and once a more detailed plan is in place, Webb said Kentucky Baptist disaster relief volunteers will be needed to help with the disaster recovery. “Our first team will be limited to only a few members from our specially trained international rapid response team,” said Webb. “Then, in the coming months, there will be tremendous needs and opportunities for Kentucky Baptist disaster relief volunteers to respond. The most helpful thing for our trained volunteers to do right now is to pray for the effort and wait until we are able to communicate the need for teams.” At that point, the recovery effort will likely include water purification, medical teams, crisis counseling, evangelistic outreach and children’s ministry teams, he said, though interested volunteers should be prepared that the experience will require “extreme roughing it.” According to a report

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

HEALTH CARE BILLS ARE INCURABLY FLAWED “Seriously flawed” is how the Family Research Council described both the Senate and House bills, since both, besides funding abortion, “still allow rationing of health care for seniors, raise health costs for families, mandate that families purchase under threat of fines and penalties, offer counsel about assisted suicide in some states, do not offer broad conscience protections for health care workers, and seek to insert the federal government into all aspects of citizens’ lives.” “…thehealthcarebillisfatallyflawedandassuchcannotbesupported,” writes Bishop RobertVasa of Baker, Oregon. Bishop R. Walter Nickless of Sioux City, Iowa, warned: “First and most important, the Church will not accept any legislation that mandates coverage, public or private, for abortion, euthanasia, or embryonic stem-cell research. …As a corollary of this, we insist equally on adequate protection of individual rights of conscience for patients and health care providers not to be made complicit in these evils. … A so-called reform that imposes these evils on us would be far worse than keeping the health care system we now have.” All of the pending bills have been uniformly condemned by all serious pro-lifers, including the Catholic Medical Association, Focus on the Family, the Christian Medical and Dental Association, the Southern Baptist Convention, Family Research Council, and numerous individual bishops throughout the United States. A fuller exposition of the reasons for objection by serious pro-lifers can be found at lifesitenews.com. Abortion Funding Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia, who chairs the U.S. Bishops’ SecretariatofPro-LifeActivities,stated: “Bywhatright,then,andbywhat precedent, would Congress make abortion coverage into a nationwide norm, or force Americans to subsidize it as a condition for participating in a public health program?” The Cardinal concluded that the current legislation being proposed was “not acceptable.” In the House version, even with the Stupak Amendment, “Abortions are covered through private plans…The bill also requires the existence of at least one insurance plan that covers abortion ‘services’ in each state.Tax dollarsmaynotfundabortionsunderprivateinsurance,butthoseprivate planparticipantsarepayingforabortionthroughtheirpremiums,”points out American Life League, an uncompromising pro-life organization. Subsidiarity Even assuming that the moral deficits in both the House and Senate bills could be remedied, which is impossible, there remains yet another very serious problem with the legislation. The introduction of the wholesale takeover of the health care system by the federal government is in violation of the principle of the doctrine of subsidiarity, supported in Christianethicsaswellasinsoundpoliticalphilosophy. Thislongstanding doctrine of subsidiarity teaches quite clearly of the dangers of excessive governmental intervention. Subsidiarity is a basic principle of Catholic social teaching, and was again explained by Pope John Paul II in 1991 in his encyclical Centesimus Annus: “A community of higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the [lower] of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to coordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society.” InadocumentissuedjointlybyMostRev.JohnF.Naumann,Archbishop ofKansasCity,KS,andMostRev.RobertW.Finn,BishopofKansasCitySt. Joseph, MO, this danger was pointed out clearly: “The writings of recent Popes have warned that the neglect of subsidiarity can lead to an excessive centralization of human services, which in turn leads to excessive costs, and loss of personal responsibility and quality of care. …diminishing personal responsibility or creating an inordinately bureaucratic structure which will be vulnerable to financial abuse, be crippling to our national economy, and remove the sense of humanity from the work of healing and helping the sick.” Even assuming that we were able to secure clear language protecting against abortion funding, euthanasia counseling, health care rationing, denial of conscience rights, etc., those in charge of implementing this legislation have made their pro-death inclinations abundantly clear, and would have great authority to corrupt what otherwise might be thought to be clear and incorruptible language of the legislation. This administration, or future ones, having put the feet of this nation on this disastrous path of government-operated health care, would certainlyfindthispowerandcontrolintoxicatingandwouldbeunableto resist further advances in these dangerous policies.
