@@@ But Scott Hess, the attorney for 18-year-old Virginia Trask of Augusta, said that unless the state s highest court weighs in, there will remain an open legal question over whether the government is violating parents constitutional rights when it wins the authority to make life-or-death medical decisions for a child who is in temporary state custody. Trask originally agreed to the do-not-resuscitate order after her daughter, then six months old, was severely injured in December in what police described as an assault by the baby s father. The baby cannot see or hear, must be fed through a tube, and suffers severe health problems. Trask changed her mind <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php>Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale</a> when the girl was removed from life support and placed in her arms, then opened her eyes and began breathing. But child welfare officials pressed for the do-not-resuscitate order anyway. The state judge who gave state officials authority to make medical decisions found that neither parent can be counted on to be physically or emotionally available to make the necessary informed decision when needed. Also, the mother had expressed interest in reuniting with the father, who s <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php>Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale</a> awaiting trial next month on charges of aggravated assault, according to court documents. If the baby dies, charges against the father could be upgraded. Upon learning of the matter, Gov. Paul LePage expressed support for allowing the mother to make medical decisions as long as her parental rights remain intact under state law. He also called for a full review of how the DHHS handled the case. DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew said in a prepared statement, If the higher court upholds the previous decision that a parent s rights can be overridden by the department, this administration will not exercise that misplaced authority. State attorneys who supported the request to intervene were guided by a similar case, in which the state was granted temporary power to make medical decisions on a child s behalf, said Timothy Feeley, spokesman for the Attorney General s Office.

The attorneys of the Child Protection Division worked closely for many months with numerous members of DHHS to address the interests of <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php>Louboutin Shoes Sale</a>  the child in this matter consistent with the law. We look forward to working with the department to ensure the interests of the child continue to be fully represented, he said.

For now, the injured baby remains in foster care, and Trask retains visitation rights. Her attorney said it s important for the supreme court to resolve the legal issue.

Although Governor LePage and his administration has decided to support her position, for which she is of course grateful, there is no guarantee the next administration will do the same, Hess said in a prepared statement. In addition, the administration s support for my client s position does not invalidate the existing court order.

The supreme court will hear arguments this month.

-The Morning Call is part of Tribune Publishing, with sister newspapers the , , , , , , , , and .The company s publishing history goes back to 1883 when The Critic, an&nbsp;Allentown&nbsp;newspaper, was founded. The editor, owner and chief reporter of the Critic was Samuel S. Woolever.In what would become a family dynasty that would oversee the company for four decades, in 1894&nbsp;Muhlenberg College&nbsp;senior David A. Miller went to work for the Critic as its sole reporter. Its owners were Charles Weiser, editor, and Kirt W. DeBelle, business manager.A reader contest was involved in the naming of the newspaper when, in late 1894, the company said that a school boy or girl in Lehigh County would receive $5 in gold if he or she could guess the publication's new name. The identity of the lucky winner is <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Tampa>Tory Burch Tampa</a>  lost to history, but on Jan. 1, 1895, Allentown City Treasurer A.L. Reichenbach, who had supervised the contest, read out the new name: The Morning Call. That same year, David A. Miller and his brother Samuel Miller were able to purchase their first shares of The Morning Call. It was the start of a series of stock buyouts that would leave the newspaper entirely in the hands of the Miller brothers by 1904. In that nine-year period, the Miller brothers worked to gather subscribers. In one case, David A. Miller even attended a corn husking party and had every family there signed up by the time he left. By 1920,&nbsp;World War I&nbsp;and the work of the Millers had raised circulation to 20,000. A series of newspaper mergers that year, funded by Gen.&nbsp;Harry Clay Trexler, led to the Millers' sale of The Morning Call to the Trexler interests. <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Silver-Oversized-Runway-Watch>Michael Kors Sale</a>  It was only after Trexler's death in 1933, and at the urging of David A. Miller's sons, Donald P. and Samuel W., that David A. Miller returned to the newspaper in 1934. In 1935 The Morning Call acquired the sole remaining Allentown newspaper, The Chronicle and News, and renamed it the Evening Chronicle. In 1938 the Sunday Call-Chronicle was first published. In 1951, David A. Miller assumed the official title of president of the Call-Chronicle newspapers. He would keep that post until his death in 1958 at the age of 88. That September his sons, Donald and Samuel, were named publishers. After Samuel's death in 1967, Donald P. Miller continued to run the newspaper. He did so with his son, Edward D. Miller, until the late 1970s when Edward became executive editor and publisher. The Evening Chronicle went to press for the last time in 1980. In 1981 Edward D. Miller left the newspaper, and Donald P. Miller returned as chairman. The publisher and chief executive officer was Bernard C. Stinner. They retained control of the newspaper until 1984, when it was sold to The Times Mirror Company, joining the&nbsp;Los Angeles Times, Newsday, The Baltimore Sun, the Hartford Courant and Southern&nbsp;Connecticut&nbsp;Newspapers Inc., publishers of the&nbsp;Stamford Advocate and&nbsp;Greenwich&nbsp;Times. Gary K. Shorts was publisher and chief executive officer from 1987 until succeeded by Guy Gilmore in 2000. Susan Hunt was named publisher in June 2001.
