Nancy Finken Report; Nancy Gardner Call Outs

it's the buckle your safety belt statistics from the kansas safety about education office at k stage show forty eight percent of kansas drivers in nineteen eighty eight were bubbling up safety belt educators isn't butterfield says that's an increase from a few years ago and that was it i mean and then you know

carolyn kansas children under age four riding in the front seat of a vehicle must be in a child safety seat all frenzy passengers adults or children must wear safety belts also the growing cancers applies the liability of children being and safety seats only to parents or guardians and only two kansas drivers but soon butterfield says the law will tighten thank you and they're right we don't do that and i

well no seeds anywhere butterfield says research shows that some lives can be saved by wearing safety belts and yeah i am and by the way so what do

drivers and passengers think about the guidelines for wearing safety belts yes i were mine i know i saw the first likened her they'll sit near i'd become a press make a joke oh i figured out a way to work without a net it's a lot i don't know and the seventy year old veteran driver says he wears a seatbelt he doesn't like wearing and especially when he doesn't feel well for your safety just talking about this what made mandatory water barrier to will be optional seatbelts shoulder strap and orear mandatory and it evolves i think you are

good at the keyboard of a pause in the speed limits and drive against him since then the order shoulder harness and seeing firsthand how many accidents and hear about the sheer work people driving down the highway and crystal wren the opposite lane and you have head on collisions longtime earrings and its absolutely silly defensive driving his answer so they had his choice he would wear a seat belt it worked i don't like for people to do gruber says rubio showed a trail system a pro since i was fourteen years old ninety seven email the twelve the july

and i have never had a moving violation and i got almost three million miles susan better word that the safety belt education opposite case day says there are many myths about the pros and cons yeah twenty five oh yeah and yeah that it came

in that's right the one in fat five percent of all active have twenty five miles of one at that susan berfield is an educator in a safety about education department at case state in hutchinson i'm nancy finken thirty year old joan livingston grew up in hutchinson is a product of local and state education now his home is in california about sixty miles north of san diego livingston found out he has aids acquired immune deficiency syndrome in december of nineteen eighty six he's back for a visit in reno county to talk to groups like the local aids task force about his firsthand experience with the life threatening disease i knew was in hospital for about a month and then i

was finally back to work at immaculate recovery are we back to work for a year and i had a relapse the following year twenty reasons and then i'm convinced now that i had a relapse was because i was in the travel business and i know a lot of extensive travel and i just didn't know how to take care of myself basically i always the ongoing push push push push and eat right you know that dying all these things that we all do and i had a relapse a year later survive that statistically i should not be alive right now so why is livingston alive right now the first thing is i think it's my attitude my willingness to wanna live and just basically living trying to live a positive and honest life on one of the hardest things i think that in an inmate's id to use the word victim because i

propose a stereotype and eight recently a pastor deal with or opening in essence from that society and people around them not only are they dealing with the devastation of the disease itself for having to deal with the emotional trauma of that rejection from the family rejection from the community to see you know the rejection in general and when you're in a mental state rejection from all of these areas you know plus you physically don't feel good idea been told to know you're going to probably die within six months and everything you know the normal tendency is to curl up in a corner of the sorry for yourself and then basically i guess can allow yourself to go

so this is one thing that we're trying to change livingston says people who care or who want to know how to carry need to remember some basic things about human nature aids victims are like anyone else i mean the love and the support from the family and friends and there's a lot of good they can do a lot of education and support on the back this was in the forties when they had the polio epidemic that was kind of basically they're saying you can see a cycle in our society where different diseases take regular going on things like this people were basically tagged as leopards and you know throw in a community and forgotten about and of course this is basically a lot of people were doing with their communities with aids victims and rejection statistically now one

interesting things is that just came out a natural made medical journals and stuff but now they're saying that the aids virus can incubate in the system for up to ninety days before you will show up on the tassel protested today you cannot negative that doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have the virus in your system that could show up in a month or so from that point the other factor is this now they're known cases they're going back as far as twelve years for an infection so you could carry the infection for twelve years and being a body during a combination period during that time were like this are open sexist it to be spreading into hundreds of people are spread to hundreds of papers printed thousand people money easton says well he has received numerous acts of concern through cards letters and verbal support from friends as well as strangers his parents are the least supportive which in many cases hurts the most unfortunate way into

people in my life there have now been no idea what this is my my mother my father and says it's been really hard obstacle for me overcome because i've always been so tom leon has been closed to them and i'd try to justify it in the sense it's their way of dealing with grief and it's just air conditioning processed that they don't know how to deal with it and it's been kind of an icon in all things with this particular situation and it's been hard real hard for me then i've i almost i almost let it get the best of me at one point in my life and finally i just you know i said that to me i didn't have a typical every year that are supporting identity of the donor and letting these two rainy down in control my life and it took several months for me you need to overcome that in india with that in

it i dealt with on a religious sense also the minister of a church he was very helpful and once i was able to overcome on except that situation it really did change your life and i think in any kind of of the health type thing you know like you know well you can see them and i and it kind of my father had dubbed can turn open heart surgery nineties seven the ability and on again what he's still out on the lawn you know acting crazy and in and physically is it isn't just an anomaly and angry how the initiative turning out of vehicles they're on for a while i think this is the thing that we need we need to promote and bring programs out to have to train people like an olympus with today's vote any kind of so called

turmoil disease livingston says even though the number of cases in kansas and in reno county in particular and smaller then california where he lives the public still needs to be educated and to be alert about ways that communities can help unfortunately in some cases and some kind of devastation like this that's got to hit home for a lot of people will recognize this and that's when it's too light and that's the thing we have to decide to trial in the air what's the best way of changing people's attitudes toward that you know so that they don't weight you know i take responsibility for themselves and take responsibility for that was around in the polls there were americans are a selfish people you know in the most selfless aside we think of ourselves first hand you know innocent this

is a worldwide problem and that exist everywhere no job at least in a former hutchinson resident who now resides in california was speaking yesterday to the reno county aids task force from personal experience he was diagnosed in december of nineteen eighty six with aids in hutchinson i'm nancy finken the state board of agriculture released some rather alarming statistic this week the report stated that ground water tables in western and parts of south central kansas got an average of nineteen ninety faster in nineteen eighty eight and nineteen eighty seven the information was provided by the kansas geological survey team in lawrence tom mcguane is one of those surveyors period only

again it grew and they kind of flipped over seven feet running away at it about in how hanukkah time and what you're telling me scott well don't worry

you really think that early like many of the people and we had to do we want you to point the emperor le premier of everything and that we don't want to hear the end order to do that it ended up on the court order we'll talk about the ground and i know some of water supplies are in danger of being low some private wells are so low and when i got the experts in those two areas they seem to say we

need more and that's the problem is the lack of rain fall the biggest problem with the groundwater time of the crime you're right or record or what they hear is there anything that you released the study had mentioned the state board of agriculture was concerned and your concern the geological department what can the state do these ads their bravery and white help i don't know several strong

record low competition think about it before we go forward how close eye to eye we and how many areas to totally drying up in some places we've never really popular one well

right right you're right thank you there's geological survey the governor's race in nineteen ninety has

already sparked some interest congressman jim slattery and dan glickman both democrats have said they are considering the position and so are state treasurer john kenny finney a democrat also has been elected state treasurer five times she says there is a strong possibility she may run for governor but it's too early to tell well fannie is a strong member of the state democratic party today parents actually live the republican party when i was sixteen years with the late united states senator frank carlson hand i set her past week last year was a very very fine man and i was fortunate that i get my ground training learning the ground rules from a politician that high caliber and i am a democrat today democrats came to me the state chairman years ago the governor and then bob talking urged

me to run on the democratic ticket for the office of state treasurer i made a decision based on deep beliefs senator was retired my friends in pairs friends were going to retire and i made a decision to become a democrat i have been very comfortable with that and my republican friends have remained friends and his decision to leave the republican party didn't come easily but looking back she says you know she made the right decision it's been a rewarding experience because when i made the decision i didn't bank is just to my benefit or can i win i simply made the decision on when i believe it was the right thing to do and i said to my husband i think i know what is the right thing to do but i don't think i've got the

courage to do it and does spencer said you do what you believe is right or you get out of politics so i found that it if you know that you're right and believe that your ryder why didn't people will believe you as for her potential opponents for the governor's race in nineteen ninety congressman slattery or goodman any hardly seem concerned at all well i feel very good about it and are all friends of mine i know them all quite well and i would enjoy being on the same primary ballot win any or all of them so that when i'd be a problem to me nora factor in my consideration because i enjoy the challenge when he took office in nineteen seventy five that one of the treasury in kansas began to take on a notebook that he made open records a top priority well the office has changed

dramatically i initially the first week that i took office the first step that i took was first open records and greenblatt is saying that we would not play politics with the investments that we would place the moneys out over the state because all of that in there in all of the banks they should not be centered in a few political favors tighter politics alice in spain investments secondly i opened the records and said you know any this is all public information there are no secrets in here about public money nor should there be and apparently it upon retain the check and balance on the accounting system between the his new cd the governor's department issues stayed checks they've everything is paid

that way the state treasurer rebuild them so we have the check book cited the accounting system this check and balance system was very important i there was no computer when i took office so i mean i can't control of an accounting system that you must have that division on the check and balance against each other i did it installed a computer a computer guys the entire office i have established a system for registering registered municipal bonds which makes created great savings for the entire state for quality municipalities when they issue their bonds to build their scoops whenever we provide this service of payment end and that is very cost effective for our communities and for our school district fire district whenever many adults are responsible for starting the unclaimed property loss

because of that we have had seen that people of kansas who owned the unclaimed money that belongs to than have received six million has been returned to these people i made close to five million entries by using the money we're hungry now and just last session i went again before the legislature and ask them to revive this law so instead of bringing in today in a year that were doing our next year we will bring in additional eight billion dollars and then we were in the search for these owners this money for ever belongs to the people that i do use that i established an investment program well we have every day about two three four times a day as money's come in and invest the idle money and see that we get the interest income on it part of that that would be part of my

community service in seventy five they would be thirty forty million dollars laying in idaho in the banks with no income and so why does continue that if six hundred banks are paying interest than certainly six hundred and seven should be pain there should be no favorites and so that's this is part of the program we have initiated in our ears we have had their funds for farmers program small businesses trying to help their farmers retain their mind to help them with a short term low interest money so that they could make their mortgage payments like the state's budget director michael o'keefe governor hayden and other members of his administration that he is concerned about the state's economic future due to the drought i am very concerned that

have been and a concern for months as this drought continues from last year but the drought that causes a loss of eight hundred million dollars for sure in agricultural income and of course when you tamper with agriculture when you tamper with the oral history ii you are tampering with the fundamental industries in our state and the economy is bound to feel the impact of this well joan danielle her head into the gubernatorial race next year it certainly is putting out her dealer sustained when she tours kansas she has got lots of encouragement from both political parties and i'm nancy finken senator nancy kassebaum was interested though in the us senate regarding child care needs why here fifty one percent of all children under big at working

mothers and gov why the quality and affordability become so important is that only eleven percent of artillery in daycare aryan life in the audience i don't mean to get the only line that i believe are appropriate but that the line can learn about the canadian health coverage already engaged here but a part of my daily drawing can apply to improve the supply and the quality child care they provide three hundred million dollars in aid for two years that's aidan population the front of a dumb population and they are required to match twenty five percent and a report on are you here and maybe a guideline for how our pride interactivity and

why did prove improve i think that although it availability quality availability one without going through all the way because you i really that we've heard that a character called i frequently hear about it and he knew before hillary rodham clinton you're an employee appropriate life in your recruiting program to encourage people to become provider training program on accreditation to do loan and grant program to a cabbage or a probe operation of innovative programs encouraging data model which would include great neighborhood theaters or intergenerational program or if there's a broad population like my age eight children in identical mother and so forth two other initiatives have also been introduced what it's called the eighties the bill would

cost two point five billion dollars and the other is the administration plan calling for two point four billion how the bombs price tag of about three hundred million unlike the other two plants kassebaum doesn't include tax breaks or expansion of the head start program however have the bomb in favor of expanding had died but her plan emphasizes quality and availability of child care rather than affordability yes ma'am i think we we wish we could be cameras that we have limited federal report and i think it's a matter of priorities and that's why i thought it was important to focus on a priority to apply and quality not count affordability be campaigning you could argue quite yet the role of the federal government in the blind child care for everyone that cracking down three did nothing to address the needs of the playa quality

and families are having financial difficulties we really need to look at them but i believe in the context of the expanded and start and welfare reform and economic policy not yet in the context of child care initiative the money allocated to each state would be used against aids discretion however a court would have to be filed with the federal government explaining how both funds were used and the vowel the baker plan would that supporter of the ad the bill on thursday in her job then i'm nancy reagan well i think there's a lot that can go and determined that whatever that remembering garry to re enter our memory for public safety and the ability of medical care and then we have made a commitment that point completely replace

an old are you and then the number and waldinger an injury there'll be a line from the rolling overwhelmingly these lines were at our customer owned and they were installed in by contractors your home builders are others are prior to nineteen seventy one of the age of the accidents that have happened and that can kill merlot alleged to have been involved i'm below it

program of replacing them and what we do normally in and replacing appears to live in return the main line and near the house that were outlined in the house and run a plastic part in here and there in the ground really become the problem protecting by the fight and no longer in the carrier that's right before nineteen seventy one war that regulation get back

and by nineteen seventy one they have called their regulations that the really rich fire in their yard and the for all practical problem banking the new and very few have not me twenty years thirty forty fifty years old but no intent of the main income now you i'm like i found that happened before nineteen seventy one add a long operation we have not have and all of that number and the like with a little i think there really was no indication there

are very few products that were important that were never going to be well it's going to be a problem with a big undertaking that our company as their ever attempted we're a preliminary estimate it caught over the next ten years or and major investment in capital and manpower and perhaps the figures high as four hundred million dollars over the next ten or twelve years but before we have estimated that the recovery will require about something in the range of fifty well no

as hero more about that the line to talk about our own that they have never been known you know they're not part of that they already know and so they're doing are down the line written recover everything carry part of our own individually and privately have the idea come about that maybe the homeowners thought about that they've put the

company individually having lived in new york they have a problem the heart of burgundy were going ahead in line and there's a timeline on it became apparent lot warren

the company great over time in fact we're going to be mandated by the military and that and continued touring and performing maintenance on those lines and so we feel like the best way to approach that it were repealed you mean you know it will become a part of the nature of the public and we were out there and earn a return on that

fill your became integrated and they think that maybe only fifteen when that the death on customers who have the problem of the line that all of it fit well in the debate and the corporate commission to deal with the beret that the region agree the across the board as i mentioned before they have that they are being heard now from lima that are owned by the company that had never made an investment won't be included in the price of their health they brought a thorough or however that like or what the role and the show what were attempting to do in the long run are including the home that was built before seventy one how

competitive it that maybe my gal liability but what can i do to make sure that i'm quoting here that can come out of the day owner of medical care not getting your partner in your yard where you learn your neighbors are really think about it we finally food fear of that and the general rule if you don't get there probably is not a problem mccain and where poverty them and then that the country had occurred when they're in and then they get over that or mowing them down from the medina and i read that there were big part of the fire that in fact the neighbors all about the

value at the time but we don't do anything about it all of our innovative content in mind that that natural born in natural faith had no odor and no color debbie allen other gas companies are required by federal regulations and in order to do that you have a chemical that homeowners can apply to america and the possible leak do you know what a girl would given permission by the supreme court to go ahead with a plan to have avoided it ended today ordered by death of anthony kennedy that had blocked her abortion request and that would explain how you're

welcome got it letter to come away and the ability and the people of the valley and the equivalent of all of it anthony for a walk and all along the public game that come down landing on well what about that there are really a whole lot of line recorded what that what the committee the day after that about
