Columnist Sandy Thompson: Gambling Impact on Families Explored

FAMILY COURT Judge Cheryl Moss is
taking a closer look at problems families face
in divorce and custody cases.

Moss, one of three new judges who took the bench in
January, has started a pilot program in cases where
one side accuses the other of gambling away child support or community assets. She refers the case to an agency for assessment.*3

Moss hopes other judges will address the issue as well. So does the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling . . .
August 17, 2001 Las Vegas Sun

"The goal is to share information with the judges on what is problem gambling, since they're encountering the consequences of it," says Carol O'Hare, executive director of the council. "We want to learn from them how we can make sure they have the resources to effectively deal with folks impacted by problem gambling."*4

Problem gambling is a mental illness, O'Hare says. Courts should deal with it in the same manner as drug and alcohol abuse.*5

At the invitation of the Chinese Ministry of Labor and Social Security, U. S. Secretary of Labor, Ms. Elaine Chao, visited China from June 21 to 24 in 2004. The U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao said in Beijing on Thursday, June 24, 2004 that her visit to China was fruitful.

"Chao signed four agreements during her trip to enhance cooperation in raising the living standard and working conditions for employees. She also announced the US would donate 3.5 million US dollars to China to help combat AIDS through workplace education program," reported the Xinhua News Agency on Thursday, June 24, 2004.*2

"She hoped through exchanging information, the two sides can raise living standards for workers, foster safe working environment for workers, and protect workers' rights in accordance with relevant international labor principles while respecting the national laws of both the United States and China," the Agency continued.*3

U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.

At the time she was nominated by President Bush as the Secretary of Labor, she told her father that she does not intend to be an "Authoritative Official". She hoped that she could contribute to our society and nation.*4

Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 21 honorary doctoral degrees from colleges and universities around the world.

Secretary Chao is married to the Majority Whip of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

"Elaine L. Chao is the nation's 24th Secretary of Labor, representing a new generation of American leadership. Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department of Labor's mission of inspiring and protecting the hardworking people of America. She is respected as an effective and articulate champion of the nation's contemporary workforce, acting quickly to focus the Labor Department on the modern realities of workers' lives." *5

"When President George W. Bush nominated Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history, he described her as an individual with “sstrong executive talent, compassion, and commitment to helping people build better lives."

According to the U. S. Department of Labor, Secretary Elaine Chao's compassionate nature stems from her own background as an immigrant to this country at the age of eight. Her family's experience transitioning to a new country, supported by one another and the kindness of friends and neighbors, taught her that encouragement is the key to fostering independence, and that Americans are naturally compassionate people. This inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that people have the opportunity to pursue lives of dignity and financial independence.

As Director of the Peace Corps, Ms. Elaine Chao was one of the first Americans to personally embrace the people of the former communist bloc into the family of democratic nations, establishing Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. Later, as President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence after the organization was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse, thus preserving the nation's largest institution of private charitable giving.

The experience Ms. Elaine Chao gained at the United Way helping communities address their local needs prepared her to mobilize the Department of Labor to promote pathways to economic freedom for individuals and families working to achieve the American Dream. She describes her vision for America's workforce as “oone in which everyone can participate where jobs and opportunities are available for those leaving welfare, job training is accessible for those left behind, disability never bars a qualified person from the workplace, and where parents have an easier time balancing the responsibilities of work and home.

"Secretary Chao's previous government career includes serving as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, and Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation. She brings a wealth of business experience to the post, having worked as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she expanded her study of policy as a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research and educational institute. She was selected as a White House Fellow in 1983," states the Department.*6

"With the excellency of knowledge, humanity, and patriotism inspired by Elaine Chao, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) has continued its many years effort to community service and spiritual belief. Nevada is honor to have WBTI under her spiritual Chairpersonship and I am especially honor to be a M.I.S. Manager of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI," humble as he is, River Sun chatted excitedly during the celebration dinner party at the Gee Joon Chinese Restaurant of Horseshoe Club. The Moon Festival of Midautumn has been many thousand years celebrated as a day for patriotism by the Chinese people in the Far East and Southeastern Asia. The party was held by WBTI in Las Vegas on September 11, 2003.

Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community? *7

"The mission of this School [Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)] will emphasize the humanitarian orientation of public administration and the social responsibility of business management. Through academic entrepreneurship, we may expect the endeavor of this School for the community service based on humane spirit, led by Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Dr. Dina Titus, Adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies in GSBPA.*17 Nina Titus was born May 23, 1950 in Thomasville, Georgia. She graduated from College of William and Mary with A.B.. She received her M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from University of Georgia and Florida State University, respectively. She is a Senator and Minority Floor Leader of Nevada Senate. Dina is also a professor of Political Science in UNLV.*8

It is our pleasure to post the Press Release of the U. S. Department of Labor from Washington, D. C. on June 24 as in the following:

News Release

U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao Outlines Accomplishments of High-Level U.S. Department of Labor Delegation to China
Four-Day Trip of High-Ranking U.S. Labor Officials Highlights Expanded Efforts to Strengthen Worker Protections

BEIJING¡XU.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao outlined the accomplishments of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) delegations¡¦ four-day trip to China today in a joint press conference with U.S. Commerce Secretary Don Evans. The news conference was held at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel.*9

Secretary Chao's trip included the signing of four letters of understanding between the U.S. Department of Labor and The People's Republic of China (PRC) that broaden cooperation between the two countries in the areas of labor, employment rights, workplace safety, and help promote internationally recognized core labor standards in China. During the four-day trip, discussions were also conducted about The Rule of Law Project and a mine health and safety project.

¡§The agreements signed on this trip are the next step in the Labor Department's ongoing efforts to work with China to promote internationally recognized core labor standards,"said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. ¡§These agreements will help Chinese officials develop the institutional capacity to improve working conditions and raise standards of living for Chinese workers. They address improvements in the areas of worker safety and health along with the regulation and enforcement of wage and pension laws, and the rule of law. In addition, today I am announcing that the Labor Department will direct $3.5 million to China to help combat HIV/AIDS through workplace-related education programs this year.¡¨

Secretary Chao is the first U.S. Secretary of Labor to visit the People's Republic of China since 1988 and only the third U.S. Secretary of Labor to visit China in history. Underscoring the importance that the U.S. delegation places on working with the People's Republic of China on Labor issues, the Secretary¡¦s delegation included the Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards Victoria A. Lipnic; Ann L. Combs, Assistant Secretary of the Employment Benefits Administration; Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health David D. Lauriski; and John L. Henshaw, Assistant Secretary for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The Secretary and the U.S. Department of Labor delegation also toured a U.S. manufacturing plant, Beijing Johnson Controls Inc., operating in China. Secretary Chao noted that jobs are being created in the United States when American products and services are used for the vast Chinese markets. The Secretary¡¦s delegation also toured a women's migrant training facility and visited Langfang Children's village, an American-funded orphanage that serves special-needs children.

In the first two letters of understanding, Ann L. Combs, Assistant Secretary Employee Benefits Administration, and Victoria A. Lipnic, Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards, U.S. DOL, signed with Liu Xu, Director General for International Affairs at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MOLSS), PRC. The letters of understanding establish a framework for the two countries to discuss the regulation, administration and oversight of pension programs through mutually agreed cooperative activities. Also outlined are additional activities in the area of wage and hour law administration. The agencies intend to broaden their cooperation in the areas of wage and hour regulations and enforcement, compliance assistance and public awareness of wage and hour laws, and effective management and analysis of wage and hour enforcement data.

The third and fourth letters of understanding will focus on new joint cooperation in the areas of occupational safety and mine safety and health. Signing for the U.S. Department of Labor was John Henshaw, Assistant Secretary for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and Dave D. Lauriski, Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health. Signing for the People's Republic of China was Lin Yisheng, Deputy Director General for Department of Foreign Affairs, in the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS). In the area of occupational safety and health, the letter of understanding outlines new cooperative efforts between the two countries including: regulation and inspection relating to the handling and distribution of hazardous chemicals; emergency response procedures in workplace accidents; private insurance programs in the promotion of workplace safety and health; and effective collection and analysis of occupational safety and health data. The fourth letter of understanding highlights mine safety issues, including: emergency response procedures for mine accidents and incidents and the effective collection and analysis of mine safety and health data.

The agreements broaden the ongoing cooperation between the U.S. DOL and its counterparts in the PRC MOLSS and SAWS. Through these agreements, there will be an exchange of officials, experts and information. The agencies reaffirmed their common objectives¡Xas stated in previous agreements¡Xto foster economic growth and raise living standards for workers; support widely-shared prosperity; foster safe working environments for workers; and foster workers rights in accordance with relevant international labor principles while fully respecting the national laws of both the United States and China.

The U.S. Department of Labor also announced a $3.5 million grant to help combat HIV/AIDS through workplace-related education programs. The funds are part of the $9.5 million grant from the DOL to the International Labor Organization (ILO) that supports these types of programs worldwide. The project in China is designed to educate workplaces about the standards of healthcare associated with persons living and working with HIV/AIDS. The Chinese Ministries of Labor, Social Security and Health, working with the ILO and the U.S. Department of Labor, will develop information to educate workers on the prevention of HIV/AIDS.

Through a $4.1 million grant, the U.S. DOL has already been collaborating with Chinese officials in the development of The Rule of Law Project. The rapid growth of private investment in China¡¦s economy during the past 10 years has far outpaced the government¡¦s ability to set up effective industrial relations systems to manage a range of new workplace issues. In response, the U.S. Department of Labor, through a consortium of implementing organizations, is assisting the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in China to more effectively address workers rights issues in a market economy.

In addition to the $4.1 million Rule of Law grant, the U.S. DOL working with the Chinese State Administration for Work Safety also funded a $2.3 million grant in late 2002 to enhance Mine Safety and Health in China. As the world¡¦s largest coal producer with rudimentary safety and health mechanisms in place, China has experienced a high number of worker deaths in their coal mines. The U.S. Department of Labor is working with relevant government bodies to develop mine rescue techniques and institutionalize the systematic training of government and mine personnel in those techniques; to strengthen the capacity of government personnel to promote and enforce workplace safety and health laws in Chinese mines; to train miners and mine operators in safe operational methods and practices; and to develop pilot projects to demonstrate the benefits of safer techniques in mines.*10

It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then.

"To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002. The Event with dinner was held by the Asian American Community to pay a special tribute to District Judges Michelle Leavitt and Jennifer Togliatti at the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant in Las Vegas.

Judge Michelle Leavitt deserves special recognition of her expertise, integrity, conscientious and dedicated professionalism. She has been a bright Associate Fellow of PAI since 2000. "Thanks to Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, and Attorney David Amesbury to chair this Event and Party. Together with knowledge as the power of rightiousness, we may build a community where this and future generations will have more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous and healthy life," said Judge Michelle Leavitt at the Dinner Party.*13

We are deeply regret and sorry that Judge Michelle Leavitt's father passed away weeks ago on a Friday. Myron Leavitt, 73, a Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, who had a long political career in Nevada. He was born in Las Vegas. Myron was a football and track athlete at the University of Nevada at Reno, where he earned a journalism degree. He worked a year as sports editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before studying law at the University of Utah.*14

Myron had private law practice for 28 years. He served as a Councilman of Las Vegas, a Commissioner Clark County and a Justice of the Peace before winning election as Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1979 to 1983.

Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004.

"I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas.

Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16
