Tolly Ho incident connected to others By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com

Tolly Ho restaurant, located at 395 S. Limestone, was the scene of one of Sunday morning’s fights.
Police are beginning to put the pieces together as to who caused the dangerous fight at Tolly Ho early Sunday morning. Lexington Police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts said the group believed to be involved came to Lexington on a charter bus and had members of a fraternity from Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago in Lexington for UK’s
Cats shift focus to better bowl game
homecoming game against Georgia. Roberts said Lexington Police believe the incident at Tolly Ho was one of three altercations around Lexington caused by the same group. “The disorder at the Tolly Ho restaurant is believed to be connected to a previous altercation at 401 W. Main St., which is The Loft nightclub,” Roberts said. “[Those two] may be connected to a later altercation at the Waffle
House.” The fight began at the front door and made its way into the main dining area, then back outside. The fight caused the normally 24-hour restaurant to shut down for several hours, according to Tolly Ho’s website. Tolly Ho management declined comment. The incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, hospitalizing five people. Police from all three sectors of Lexington responded,
Roberts said. UK Police Chief Joe Monroe said UK Police was not the one to receive the initial call. “We were not the responding agency, that was the Lexington police,” Monroe said. “We only assisted them after they called for additional officers.” Because of the magnitude of the fight at Tolly Ho, police from all over Lexington responded to See FIGHT on page 2
SCULPTING INTRIGUE
By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
The primary goal for the UK football team has changed. Through spring practice, the two-a-days of summer and the first eight games of the 2010 season, the Cats (4-4, 1-4 Southeastern Conference) had hoped to compete for the SEC East division crown. With four losses, a division title, though mathematically still possible, seems unlikely for the Cats. Thus, UK head coach Joker Phillips and the available players at Monday’s news conference stated their new intentions for the home stretch of the season: getting an invite to one of the better bowl games. “We want to get this program in the best available bowl for us,” Phillips said. “That’s our goal, try to get in the best available bowl for us that’s out there.” Phillips said a bowl invitation is never a bad thing, but the players were more forthcoming about their definition of what would be considered a good bowl game. “Better than the Music City (Bowl), I’m not going to complain if we go back there, but I don’t want to go back there,” junior offensive tackle Chandler Burden said. “I don’t want to go back to Tennessee, I want to go to the Outback Bowl or the Capital One Bowl. I want to go to a better bowl. I want to play better competition.” UK has made a trip to a school-record four consecutive bowl games; three of those games have been Music City Bowl appearances in Nashville. The other was a 2009 Liberty Bowl appearance in Memphis. If UK wants to avoid another postseason trip to the Volunteer State, a lot of work remains. ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach projects UK to go to the Liberty Bowl versus Conference USA’s East Carolina, while Andrea Adelson, also of ESPN.com, has the Cats penciled in to play in the Liberty Bowl against Central Florida, also from Conference USA. Four games remain on UK’s schedule, two of which need to be victories for the Cats to become bowl eligible. After this Saturday’s road contest at No. 23 Mississippi State (6-2, 2-2 SEC), which has won five straight games, the Cats close the season against three teams all currently 2-5 (Charleston Southern, Vanderbilt and Tennessee). Senior quarterback Mike Hartline said his team’s mindset has to be geared toward sweeping the games left on the schedule. “Eight-4 is still a really good season, and it can be a really great bowl game for us,” Hartline said. “It’s not impossible, and we think it’s very accomplishable.” Burden said, if for no other reason, he thinks getting to a different bowl game would be a nice reward for fans wanting to travel to a new place. Taking the next step up the bowl ladder would also reveal rewards for the program later on down the road. “For this program to get where we want it to be, to start pushing the levels of recruitment, to start doing better things, we have to win games and we have to get to better bowl games,” Hartline said. Injury and roster news Phillips is hopeful that senior tailback Derrick Locke can return to action this Saturday. Locke, who has missed the last two See FOOTBALL on page 2

The “Raven Bench” and “The Pair” (above) are on display outside of the Singletary Center for the Arts in an effort to draw interest to the Art Museum.
New sculptures aim to draw crowds By Becca Clemons news@kykernel.com
Students, staff and faculty perusing UK’s campus may notice a few new additions to the scenery. The Art Museum at UK, located in the Singletary Center for the Arts, recently introduced three new artworks into its outdoor sculpture garden. Two of the sculptures are the work of Peter Woytuk and the third is by Albert Paley, according to a UK news release. A public unveiling is scheduled for 3 p.m. Nov. 7 in the garden between the Singletary Center and the Student Center. “We felt like [the Art Museum] needed a greater presence
here at UK; a lot of students don’t even know where the Art Museum is,” Art Museum Public Relations coordinator Dorothy Freeman said. “We felt like this was a good way of making our presence known.” The International Herald Tribune has called Woytuk “the greatest animal sculptor of the Western world in the closing years of the 20th century,” and his sculptures “The Pair” and “Raven Bench” are now part of the UK community, the release said. “The Pair” is a bronze sculpture depicting two pears in an organic form, with a “beautiful
patina that looks like the color of a pear,” Freeman said. It is located close to the west entrance of the museum, next to Stoll Field. “Raven Bench” consists of an inquisitive raven on top of an 11foot-long slab of stone that serves as a bench, placed near the sidewalk by Rose Street. Freeman said a bench might “encourage people to hang out around the Art Museum a little bit more.” “It’s been our pleasure to work as a group with the museum to research and find the perfect outdoor sculptures for the garden,” said Kim Knight, president of the Art Museum’s collectors, who purchased the sculp-
tures. “We hope that ‘The Pair’ and ‘Raven Bench’ will serve as an invitation to the public to come in and enjoy the rest of our wonderful collection.” Paley’s work, “Sylvan,” is an 18-foot-tall steel sculpture consisting of forms from the natural world, the release said. Paley is the first metal sculptor given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Institute of Architects. With these additions, eight sculptures now populate the UK campus. “We have a long-term plan, and this is just the beginning of it,” Freeman said.
UK football player charged with DUI By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
A UK football player is charged with drunken driving after being arrested Sunday morning. Matt Roark, a junior wide receiver, was suspended for one game for violating team rules, UK spokesman Tony Neely said. Roark was arrested at 5:51 a.m. Sunday, the police report
said. Roark said he “drank a couple of shots,” according to the report. The report says Roark struck a parked car on Wood Valley Court, located in the Lansdowne area. No one was injured in the accident. Both cars sustained “heavy damage.” Roark registered a .192 blood alcohol level, had “slurred speech” and was “swaying with a staggered walk,” the report
said. Roark is also charged with failure to maintain insurance, according to the report. Roark was released 11:06 a.m. Sunday. He is scheduled to appear in Fayette County District Court Thursday at 1 p.m. for his arraignment. Roark has 11 catches for 163 yards on the season and has played a significant role on special teams coverage.

some became part of the situation just by their presence, Roberts said. Roberts said she was not sure if police officers used force, but said at this point she saw no indication that they did. “To my knowledge I have not seen any use of force reports, but that does not mean that was the case,” Roberts said. “What we consider to be use of force is like using a taser, having to use a weapon or having to use some other form of less lethal weaponry. There were people that had to
be held, restrained or separated.” Once the fight began, people began trying to force their way out the doors or get a better view of the fight. Several employees jumped into the fight attempting to break it up, according to Tolly Ho’s website. Of the employees who intervened, one suffered broken ribs, while the other received staples in his head, Lt. Chris Van Brackel said. Two people have been charged with disorderly conduct.

ing team rules, will weaken the receiving corps. Ailing cornerbacks Cartier Rice (ankle) will return to practice Wednesday or Thursday and Martavius Neloms (concussion) should play Saturday after participating in non-contact drills this week.

Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now” Three albums into her wildly popular, multi-platinum and globally successful career, Taylor Swift is still settling scores. Either the 20-year-old singer-songwriter is terrifically thin-skinned or can't bring herself to write about anything aside from her romantic travails, but the "woman scorned" shtick is becoming quite tired. With every new Swift song, a breathless round of speculation Who incurred her wrath? Will she name names? How many fellas have really wronged her? obscures the truth about Taylor. While she has an admitted knack for melody and, very infrequently, a finely wrought turn of phrase suggesting depth beyond boy-hating, Swift has been turning out variations on the same theme (teenage love soured by melodrama) that first catapulted her to fame. "Speak Now," her latest studio effort, is no different; there's even a track titled "Better Than Revenge," for crying out loud, with the telling line "She should keep in mind/There is nothing I do better than revenge." The latest single, "Dear John," has already set tabloid tongues wagging, as it's a song supposedly about her brief dalliance with Mr. Sexual Napalm himself, John Mayer. At nearly seven minutes, it's a spectacularly self-indulgent piece of pop catharsis (an interesting side note: Swift has all but abandoned the country touches that marked her work as nominally Nashville in character) whose most clever flourish vaguely bluesy guitar licks ap-

ing Mayer's penchant for same isn't lyrical. Although there's a slight voyeuristic thrill, as though eavesdropping on a particularly fraught exchange between two high-profile people, it's short-lived. If this was the first broadside Swift had authored about an exlover, it would carry far more weight than it does. Instead of a devastating assault on a failed romance, "Dear John" is literally the latest in a long string of thinly veiled airings of grudges. So it goes throughout "Speak Now," a bloated, nearly 70-minute affair: stylish, irresistibly melodic songs that say nothing of any importance to anyone other than Swift. It's not difficult to see the appeal to her fanbase these are tunes, all penned by Swift with no additional co-writers, built to be sung en masse in arenas yet, the rush to anoint her as a songwriter of substance remains baffling. Take the bluegrassy "Mean," where Swift lays into an unnamed detractor with a litany of nyah-nyah invective: "All you are is mean/And a liar/And pathetic/And alone in life/And mean." It induces giggles, not chills, and yet, it speaks to the core problem with Swift's catalog to date. Selling millions of copies and packing arenas full of worshipful fans is rarely sustained over the long term; people grow up and move on, becoming acquainted with musicians that have something genuinely insightful to say. If Taylor Swift continues along her present path, she's going to find that out the hard way.

Studentathletes have short leashes KERNEL EDITORIAL The gridlock UK Athletics has on its athletes is similar to the hold most parents have over their middle school children. With the recent commotion over UK wide receiver Randall Cobb and the comments he tweeted after last weekend’s football game, that gridlock has come into light. Following the football team’s comeback victory over No. 10 South Carolina last Saturday, Cobb expressed his displeasure towards Cats’ fans via several tweets, which were later deleted. Though Cobb also apologized for his remarks, the affair showed many followers for the first time just how much control UK Athletics has over its players. After the incident, head coach Joker Phillips “allowed” his athletes to keep their Twitter accounts. Student-athletes on campus fall victim not only to traditional duties of athletes, such as weight lifting, dieting and practicing, but also now to the discretion of their coaches when it comes to publishing things on online social networks. Some athletes have been told by their coaches they are not allowed to have Facebook or Twitter accounts, or they cannot set their profiles to public so anyone can view them. Though the close watch is essential in protecting the athletes and the integrity of the program, the students have the right to be just that — students. The UK basketball team even has a nightly curfew, along with multiple mandatory peer tutoring sessions built into its daily life. Students deserve the opportunity, even if briefly, to enjoy the advantages of being free from their demanding lives as UK athletes. Until that happens, the clash between student-athletes and UK Athletics will continue.

Voters have power to affect economy My friend told me a heart-wrenching and slightly disturbing story the other day. As he was getting out of his car at the grocery story last week, he spotted an elderly man in a wheelchair sitting in the parking lot. The man had a nasal cannula and a sign, tied with strings, around his neck that read “laid off.” My friend went on to deduce that either someone dropped off the man to sit in the parking lot to collect money (in which case, someone should have called social SHANNON services) or the man drove there himself, FRAZER got into his own wheelchair and sat and Kernel waited for people to give him their money. columnist Either way, this scene is an example of the desperation people are feeling because of the unsteady economy and job crisis. According to the U.S. Department of Labor website, the U.S. unemployment rate in September 2010 was 9.6 percent. A household survey estimated that 14.8 million people are unemployed in the U.S., which has stayed relatively consistent throughout September. The fact that so many are still unemployed is discouraging for college students who are about to enter the workforce, and the future doesn’t look so bright, either. An Oct. 20 article from U.S. News and World Report laid out expected changes from Social Security as early as next year. Because of the lack of inflation, the Social Security administration announced that “there will be no cost of living adjustment for seniors.” The article estimated that by 2037, much of the Social Security trust fund will run out, which means 20- and 30somethings today “may never see all of the money they pay into the system.” AARP, the organization that represents retired Americans, has said some major changes should be expected in
LETTER TO THE EDITOR I grew up in Wolfe County, Ky., and I am writing in regards to the “New Power promises to keep Ky. proud.” As a resident of a small eastern Kentucky community, I thought it was important for the public to see the real story of coal. I have lived in Wolfe County my entire life, and until this past year, we have never had a park. Because of coal severance money (the money “Big Coal companies” give back to communities), we were able to build a park. Those big coal companies help many eastern Kentucky counties by improving hospitals and roads, funding volunteer fire departments or upgrading schools, among many other improvements. One common misconception people have about coal is the process of mountain top removal, or what I prefer to call “mountain top development.” Before the actual mining, to be issued a mining permit coal companies must present a plan of what the land will be used for once the mining is complete. During the restoration process, in some cases, trees are planted and grass is sowed, and in others, hospitals and businesses
the coming decades, such as instituting higher taxes for those with higher incomes and delaying retirement age to 68. The take-home message: Young workers need to start saving up on their own money earlier than ever. These anticipated changes by the government won’t entirely cover people of retirement age. While that may be hard for the college community to hear, at least age provides a leg up for that population in job searching. Thank goodness employers still need and hire young people. But the news equates to little more than tough luck for people like the guy in the grocery store parking lot. I realize the magnitude of the problem, and I understand that one solution can’t remedy America’s financial troubles overnight, but this is why we need to take responsibility for who we elect into office in the next election. Those officials will be responsible for deciding how government funds will be delegated and where new jobs should be created for years to come. Candidates can’t get caught up in petty topics and mudsling their way into office, as many of the current attack ads on television depict. Instead, they should focus their energy on issues that matter and affect people now and in the future, like unemployment and Social Security. (Yes, even college students will have to worry about that some day.) And even if you’re a member of the camp that says people who beg for money in parking lots brought their circumstances on themselves, you need to vote for government officials who mirror your views and who won’t allocate funds for an issue you don’t feel deserves funding. Ideally, the day will come when there won’t be a need for people to sit in grocery store parking lots asking for money, but there needs to be progress in the meantime to reach that goal. Your vote could bring on that progress. Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior. E-mail sfrazer@kykernel.com. are built. Mountain top development brings many things to communities, such as golf courses, airports and sports complexes. It stimulates the economy in those regions and creates more jobs. The coal industry is important to Kentucky because it provides thousands of direct and indirect jobs. For every one job in the coal mine, it creates three more jobs for the state. As important as it is to Kentucky, it is essential for the United States. Looking at the coal industry from a day-to-day perspective, you can see our low energy rates. From a national perspective, you can see how America avoids being dependent on foreign countries for energy. What does coal do for us? Coal supports well paying jobs to people across the Commonwealth. Coal provides the third lowest energy rates in the country. Coal allows Kentucky to be an energy leader in America. If we’re really going to be Kentucky proud, let’s be proud of what we do best. Tyler Phipps Agriculture economics junior

Folk artist uses lyrics to bridge Bolivia, U.S. mining By Cassidy Herrington features@kykernel.com
Bolivia and Kentucky share veins. The veins and networks of exploited mines, where thousands of men and women struggle to make a living wage. In 1967, Jack Herranen was born in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Knoxville, Tenn., where coal mining is a primary source of economic stability. In 1999, he traveled to Bolivia, where he submersed himself in the plight of the indigenous people and connected the two dissimilar countries. On Monday afternoon, Herranen articulated this connection through a documentary and his music. “From the coal towns of Kentucky and eastern Tennessee, down through Guanajuato, and on to Potosi” are the lyrics of Herranen’s song, “Desde Appalachia Hasta Potosi,” or “From Appalachia to Potosi.” Potosi is a Bolivian city and the site of the largest silver mine in the western hemisphere, where European colonists worked thousands of indigenous and African slaves. In the 1800s, the mine was depleted of its silver reserves, and miners were literally worked to death. Bolivian musician Gerardo Arias sent Herranen to this haunting town on his second visit to Bolivia. Consequentially, the scenery inspired a grassroots movement and a stream of folk music in Herranen that would continue throughout his life. “It was a site of extreme atrocities, and it’s not a stretch to use the words ‘holocaust’ or ‘genocide’ [to describe them],” Herranen said. Herranen started a grassroots movement called “Puentes” or “Bridges” as an effort to promote inter-American solidarity between Bolivian and Appalachian communities. His documentary and music serve to illustrate this connection and inspire a change in perspective about the mining industry, agriculture and the indigenous way of life. On Monday afternoon, about 40 listeners gathered in the Taylor Education Building auditorium to experience Bolivia through the lyrics of Herranen’s sorrowful melodies and the images of his film. “The mines may be for silver, gold, tin or coal; But history remains the same, put the poor man in the hole,”
Corrections: In Monday’s story, “Seminar combats Ky. crime,” the Kernel stated, “Kentucky has the highest percentage of incarcerated adults in the country.” Kentucky does not have the highest percentage of incarcerated adults; its prison population is among the fastest growing states of incarcerated adults. Also in this story, the Kernel quoted Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Secretary Cabinet President J. Michael Brown as saying, “We need to put people behind bars that we are afraid of,” Brown said, “and not because we are mad at them.” Brown said, “and not those that we’re mad at.” In Monday’s story, “Speaker fights stigmas,” the Kernel said Claude Steele would speak on Tuesday at 7 p.m. He will actually speak at 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. in Room 359 in the Student Center.

Jack Herranen, left, and fellow musicians from eastern Tennesee perform an additional concert in the Niles Gallery Monday night . Herranen sang. Herranen addressed the audience donning a vest, worn leather oxfords and a fedora. Under the brim of his hat, he closed his eyes and expressed the sorrows of Bolivians through song. After each song, Herranen talked about his life in Bolivia, simultaneously strumming quiet, lingering chords. The “veins” Herranen often referred to are both the literal exploited veins of the mines, once filled with minerals, and the social veins that have bound the indigenous people to colonialism and imperialism. “I needed to bear witness to those open veins and reach an understanding that those veins run up to this country,” Herranen said. Herranen is now a permanent resident outside of the Bolivian city, Cochabamba, where he lives with his Bolivian wife and two sons. Cochabamba is a traditional agrarian town with an informal economy. The principal source of work is farming, and the indigenous people work with their hands in what Herranen calls, “the good life.” “We primarily live in an area of Quechua farmers, and I often refer to our neighbors as Andean hillbillies, in a loving way,” Herranen said. His acoustic guitar was emblazoned with the phrase “todos somos hijos de los campesinos,” or roughly translated, “we are all sons and daughters of hillbillies.” The local language, Quechua, does not have a literal translation for work, but the closest conversion is “nurture” or “nurturing.” This variation is important in understanding our own culture, Herranen said. “A fair amount is lost in translation because the concept of nurturance is a word
that has deteriorated, something weakened in our culture,” Herranen said. To better illustrate this divergence in lifestyle, Herranen’s “Puentes” documentary reveals the traditional society of the Andean people through footage of mask making, cooking, farming and festivals. According to the film, festivals are the source of “harmonizing” and “revitalizing” the people. Herranen accredited the simple agrarian lifestyle exemplified by the Andeans as part of the solution to solving unsustainable development and environmental destruction. This ideology parallels that of Kentucky writer Wendell Berry and “his midwestern counterpart, Wes Jackson,” Herranen said. Herranen said, “things are so entrenched on the systemic level,” that an alternate perspective is needed to change the system. Already, Herranen has witnessed improvement with every visiting trip to the U.S. “I try to carry those experiences when I go back home [to Bolivia],” Herranen said. “I feel that collectively there is a belief that we have to pull ourselves from this impasse.” The Appalachian Research Community and the Latin American Studies Department organized the event.
