' ASK YOUR OWN LAWYER ' Notice; This column is not to be considered as any legal advice, always ask your own lawyer when you need legal advice.

The stories depicted in this column are commonsensical in approach and are intended for purely entertainment purposes.

Question: I recently got a speeding ticket for doing 100 in a 70 on an Interstate road in

Edgewood Indiana (Madison County). It was around 4:00 in the morning and there were

no other cars on this section of the road. I was not under the influence of any substances.

As I passed an officer parked along the highway, I pulled over before he could pull me

over, I knew I had made a mistake. He gave me a speeding ticket and sent me on my

way. My court date is coming up and I need some advice. I have a prior ticket (failure to

stop or yield) on my record and I would like to know if this would affect me? Also, I

called the Edgewood Courthouse to inquire about the ticket and was told that I would

have to appear in court. The reason they gave was that I was 30 mph over the speed limit

and I could be charged with a misdemeanor. I was wondering the likelihood that I would

be charged and if I will face jail time? I have no criminal record, just the two tickets.

Answer: First of all you need a local attorney’s advice. The charges related to this

ticket are up to the discretion of the prosecutor. He or she will decide whether or not to

charge you with a misdemeanor. The judge will have the discretion as to whether the

prosecutor has provided enough evidence to charge you with a misdemeanor offense. The

judge has broad discretion as to any sentencing that may stem from a guilty decision. The

prosecutor and the court will consider mitigating and aggravating factors to help them

make their decisions. From what you say, you have two aggravating factors: the fact that

you were substantially speeding, and the fact that you do have a prior offense. On the

other hand, you appear to have several mitigating factors: you cooperated with the police,

you only have one prior offense of unrelated driving conduct, it involves no drugs or al-

cohol and you have no criminal history. It is not possible to predict how the prosecutor

will charge you. However, there is a good chance that if you are charged, you could face

a very light or suspended sentence. You may even consider a plea bargain if it is offered.

Be sure, however, that you understand any unintended consequences of a plea bargain,

such as increased insurance rates. Slow down and Good Luck

The Race For the White House

I don't get involved with political viewpoints and I don't intend to do so now.

Mr. & Mrs. Voter, it is time to start considering who you might want to serve as our next

President of the United States.

Democrats and Republicans alike will compete in the Iowa Caucas, but only within

their respective political party since each one is responsible for setting their own rules

for the nomination process. It is a tedious task for politicians from both sides, but it

has remained the first stop in the road to the White House since 1972. Iowa can make

or break a candidate's campaign. In Kentucky, the new 2016 Republican Caucus will take

place on March 5 and the primary election will be held on May 17.

The prelude is set to begin next week, Monday, February 1 in Iowa. The next stop is

New Hampshire for the first primary election to be held on February 9. The following

primaries and caucus events are then strategically orchestrated throughout the spring

and summer months concluding with the primary in Washington D.C. on June 14. The

season of political ads and telephone solicitations will begin. Think of the issues that

concern you as a voter so wise choices can be made.

As Americans, we should be concerned with our health care system, the state of

the economy, and our role as a world leader. We need a reasonably priced and cost

effective health care system, one that is affordable for everyone. Citizens deserve a

low cost, quality health insurance in this country. The American people can no

longer afford the back room deals between Congress and the drug manufacturers that

give pharmacy behemoths the right to price prescription drugs higher in the U.S. than

they sell for in Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

We need good paying jobs to further the American dream of getting ahead, buying

our own home, and educating our children. The large banking monopolies should be

reduced into smaller, more responsive regional banks with no Wall Street associations.

The industrial giants and big businesses should be taxed so they are forced to trim

the exorbitant salaries that are paid to their CEO's and provide a wage increase for

their working class.

The United States needs to continue as the leaders of democracy in the Free World.

Americans have a duty to help other countries achieve independence from tyrannical

forces. We are a Christian nation, one that fosters religious freedom for all people, but

when others seek to destroy us, we must thwart their efforts.

As with the issues that I have expressed, there are many more multiples to consider

as we go to the polls to exercise our inalienable right to do so. It all comes down to this;

who do you believe will do the best job and what is their agenda?

Men Are Just Happier People

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The

garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack.

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car

mechanics tell you the truth. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on

a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Phone conversations are over in 30

seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get

extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or

she can still be your friend. Two pairs of shoes are more than enough.. You almost never

have strap problems in public You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. The same

hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face & neck. You

can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all

seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.No wonder men are happier.

EATING OUT � When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20,

even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will

actually admit they want change back. � When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket

calculators.

MONEY � A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. � A woman will pay $1 for a $2

item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

ARGUMENTS � A woman has the last word in any argument. � Anything a man says

after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE � A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. � A man never

worries about the future until he gets a wife.

MARRIAGE � A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

� A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

OFFSPRING � Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about

dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and

dreams. � A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A married man should forget about his past mistakes.

There's no use in two people remembering the same thing! Get the picture.

Super Bowl 50 Sunday, Feb. 7 @ 6:30pm on CBS Carolina Panthers vs. Denver Broncos

And the winner is: It all comes down to your preference as to who has the

best QB. Who will play well enough to win the game? Carolina has a very

young Cam Newton, who has proven that he has all the right stuff, can throw

the ball and run extremely well. He has earned the right to be considered as an

elite quarterback. On the other hand, Denver has a 39 year old Peyton Manning,

who has already been to the Super Bowl three times, sports 1 ring, but has re-

cently had injury problems. He is also an elite quarterback who knows how to

win with style. He is clever, smart, talented, plus he has been there before. Both

teams are capable of winning this game, however Carolina opened as a 4 pt.

favorite.

The Panthers play aggressive and deliberate with Newton at the helm. Their

defense is pretty darn good, as they showed when they demolished Arizona this

past Sunday. As it stands now, Manning is the one with all the records, and

Newton is the one chasing his dream. Food for thought. If Carolina wins,

Newton could become one of the few elite players to win a college national

championship, a Heisman, a Super Bowl and an MVP. If the Panthers play the

way they did last Sunday night, the question won't be if the young gun has a

chance, it will be how many MVPs and championships they will likely win

before he's Peyton Manning's age.

I„m a Peyton Manning fan for sure, I also like Newton as well, so if

Manning can play his game of finesse, and Newton plays his game of brawn,

this could be the Super Bowl that everyone remembers, # 50, one for the ages.

Kentucky Basketball Seems To Be Righting The Ship I am sure that Cat fans have heard Neil Young‟s song from the 1970‟s,

Alabama. In the song he sings, “Your Cadillac has a wheel in the ditch and one

on the track.” That described Kentucky basketball last week after the loss at

Auburn. Fast forward one week and the Cats have morphed into what they

should be, a team that plays with energy, talent and most of all HEART. What a

difference one week can make in the life of the SEC race.

Some fans are questioning Coach Cal‟s decision about not playing Skal in

the Vandy game after he looked and played so well against the Razorbacks. I

say this, he is the coach and knows when Skal can be a factor in a particular

game, so leave it alone folks. He will have his chance, that‟s for sure.

Next up: Kentucky vs. Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse, Jan. 30 at 6:00 pm - TV-

ESPN. Remember, Kansas has slipped and lost some games lately. Go Cats

Don't Mess With Texas

Bubba was from Texas ... And he needed a loan, So he walked into a

bank in New York City and asked for a short term personal loan.

“Officer,” as he said, I am going to Paris France for an International Red-

neck Festival for two weeks and need to borrow $5,000. I am not a deposi-

tor of your bank.

The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security

for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to his new Ferrari. The

car was parked on the street in front of the bank. Bubba produced the title and everything

checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apolo-

gized for having to charge 12% interest. He signed the papers and left the establishment

for the airport.

Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from

the Texas for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the

bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's private underground garage and parked it.

Two weeks later Bubba returned and repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The

loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction

has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.

While you were away, we checked you out on Dunn & Bradstreet and found that you are

a distinguished alumni from Texas A & M, a highly sophisticated investor and

multi-millionaire oil man with real estate and financial interests all over the world. Your

investments include a large number of wind turbines around Sweetwater, Texas. What

puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The good 'ole boy replied, "Where else in New York City can I park

my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I

return?"

His name was BUBBA.... Keep an eye on those Texas boys! Just

because they look & talk funny doesn‟t mean they are stupid !!!

Spotlight on Black History Month ~ Vivien T. Thomas

Vivien T. Thomas was born in New Iberia,

Louisiana in 1910, the son of a carpenter. His

family moved to Nashville, where Vivien graduated

with honors from Pearl High School. Later in 1929

he was preparing for college & medical school

when his savings for tuition disappeared following

the October stock market crash. With no means for

education, he took a job as a laboratory technician

at Vanderbilt University's medical school, working

for Dr. Alfred Blalock.

Thomas still hoped to save tuition money to earn

his own medical degree, but the Great Depression

worsened & the research with Blalock grew. Soon

Thomas was working sixteen hours a day in the

laboratory, performing operations on animals that

would advance Blalock's studies of high blood

pressure & traumatic shock. For his work, Thomas

invented a heavy spring device that could apply

varying levels of pressure. Blalock & Thomas' work

at Vanderbilt created a new understanding of shock,

showing that shock was linked to a loss of fluid &

blood volume.

When Blalock became chief surgeon at Johns Hopkins University's medical school in

1941, he insisted that Vivien Thomas be hired to join his team there. At Johns Hopkins,

Thomas & Blalock pioneered the field of heart surgery with a procedure to alleviate a

congenital heart defect, the Tetralogy of Fallot ("blue baby syndrome"). Sufferers faced

brutally short life expectancies. Working with cardiologist Helen Taussig, Blalock &

Thomas developed an operation that would deliver more oxygen to the blood & relieve

the constriction caused by the heart defect. Thomas tested the procedure -- a refinement of

one that they had created in laboratory dogs -- on animals to make sure it would work. In

1944, with Thomas advising Blalock, the first "blue baby" operation was successfully

performed on 15-month-old Eileen Saxon.

Thomas was a key partner in hundreds of "blue baby" operations, performing pre-&

post-operation procedures on patients as well as advising in the operating room. At the

same time, he continued to manage Blalock's ongoing laboratory research. As head of

the Hopkins surgical research laboratory, Thomas also taught a generation of surgeons

& lab technicians. The residents & research fellows who worked with Thomas testified

to his unique abilities & his dedication.

This Week: Kykuit ~ The John D. Rockefeller Estate

The industrial billionaires of turn-of-the-century America

were referred to as “Robber Barons” comparing them to the

highway men & bands of robbers that plundered passing

merchant wagons. The name suggests that these men made

their money by exploiting workers in America & that their

massive wealth was an accumulation of the money that

they looted from the American people. The term was

applied to men like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller &

Cornelius Vanderbilt who monopolized a modern industry.

Over the next few weeks, we will be visiting some of the

notorious homes of the "Robber Barons."

John Davison Rockefeller (1839-1937) was the

founder & former chairman of the Standard Oil

Company, founder of the University of Chicago &

Rockefeller University, founder of the General Education

Board, & the founder of the Rockefeller Foundation. He

was a generous philanthropist & business magnate that

revolutionized the petroleum industry. From his humble

beginnings, the Standard Oil Company refined 90

percent of the oil produced in America by 1880. His

foundations pioneered the development of medical

research & were instrumental in the eradication of

hookworm & yellow fever.

JDF spent the last decades of his life at his Kykuit Estate in Sleepy Hollow, NY. The

Classical Revival-style villa located on 249 acres was completed in 1913 for the richest

man in America. The six story Indiana limestone house consists of 40 rooms designed

by Chester Holmes Aldrich & William Adams Delano. Kykuit, Dutch for "lookout", is

situated on the highest point in the hamlet of Pocantico Hills, overlooking the Hudson

River at Tappan Zee. It has a view of the New York City skyline 25 miles to the south.

The opulent landscape designed by William Welles Bosworth is complete with a 30

foot high Oceanus fountain just inside the gates, a copy of the famous original in the

Boboli Gardens of France. The dramatic grounds feature formal gardens in a variety of

styles, large scale sculptures, & pavilions.

In later years, Kykuit was the home of his son, JDR

Jr. & grandson, Nelson Rockefeller, four time

governor of New York & vice president under Gerald

Ford. Pieces of Nelson's art collection on display

include works by Louise Nevelson, David Smith,

Pablo Picasso, & Henry Moore.

Kykuit was designated a National Historic

Landmark in 1976. In 1979, Nelson Rockefeller

bequethed upon his death his 1/3 interest in the estate

to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. As a result, the estate is now open to the

public for tours conducted by Historic Hudson Valley. The extraordinary landmark has

been continuously & meticulously maintained for more than 100 years.
