What were your thoughts? Timeline of Sept. 11, 2001 Between 7:45 and 8:45 a.m., all four planes departed.
Much has changed in 10 years, but some memories don’t fade BY RACHEL ARETAKIS | raretakis@kykernel.com
8:38 a.m.: The Federal Aviation Administration notified the military air defense command of a hijacking. 8:43 a.m.: The FAA notified military authorities of a second hijacking. 8:46 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 11 crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The plane was headed to Los Angeles from Boston carrying 92 people on board. 8:50 a.m.: President George W. Bush is told of the attacks while reading to children in a classroom. 9:03 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 175 crashes into the south tower of the World Trade Center. The plane was headed to Los Angeles from Boston carrying 65 people on board.
They were there
9:25 a.m.: The FAA notified military air defense that Flight 77 was headed toward Washington D.C.
Most students on campus were in elementary or middle school when it happened. But Sgt. 1st Class Clayton Gorton, a UK senior, was stationed at Fort Myer, Va., and was in his barracks getting ready to go to the Pentagon when he was told the news. Gorton spoke at the UK Pershing Rifles Cadets memorial event on campus Friday. He entered the U.S. Army in 1999 and has been in the Army Reserves since 2003. He started at UK in 2004. He was a part of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, or the Old Guard, which is the official ceremonial unit of the army. The morning of Sept. 11, he was preparing for an 11 a.m. ceremony to salute a high-ranking dignitary who was arriving for a meeting. “At first, we thought it was a pilot error,” Gorton said. While watching TV, he heard American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon and described it as a muffled explosion. His unit started preparing to go help at the Pentagon, and when Gorton arrived at the scene around 2 p.m., he said it was hot and smoldering. His unit helped with rescue, recovery and cleanup efforts. It helped engineers reinforce the building and set up tents for the morgue. They found personal items in the ashes: stuffed animals and pictures of victims’ families. “At that time, it’s one of those things you didn’t think about,” he said. “We struggled together through the mourning and difficulties to get through that day.” See 9/11 on page 2
9:37 a.m.: American Airlines Flight 77 crashes into the Pentagon. The plane, headed from Washington to Los Angeles, was carrying 64 people. A five-story section of the Pentagon collapses, killing 190 people inside. 9:48 a.m.: The Capitol and West Wing of the White House were evacuated.

Most Americans will never forget what they were doing on Sept. 11, 2001. The nation was glued to the TV, watching America under attack. As former President George W. Bush said in his address to the nation that evening, “none of us will ever forget this day.” And 10 years later, Americans have not forgotten. The images of United Airlines Flight 175 crashing into the south tower of the World Trade Center, the south tower collapsing and then the north; the aftermath at the Pentagon and of the burning plane in the Pennsylvania field; people jumping from the towers, trying to escape the smoke — all these images will remain in the minds of Americans forever. “I could see the replays of the horrifying aftermath of the first (plane), and then when the second one hit,” said Carl Nathe, an information officer with UK Public Relations. Nathe, like so many other Americans, was concerned for a friend who worked in the World Trade Center. His childhood friend, Richard B. Hall, worked for AON Corporation on the 104th floor of the south tower. “I was hoping and praying that for whatever reason, he wouldn’t be at work that day,” Nathe said. “I knew he worked in the second one that got hit. But it was very unsettling, obviously as it was to everybody.” Nathe was on campus videotaping a segment for a UK television program when someone got the message about the first tower. He said he stopped what he was doing and ran back to the office. Initially there wasn’t information about Hall, but within two or three days, Nathe said, he and Hall’s family were informed that he died. “They didn’t find his body actually until January, about four months after it happened,” Nathe said. “You never forget it, but you kind of put it further back in your consciousness.”

“I was in school and I saw the teachers conferencing in the hallway,” he said. But the students weren’t told, so he found out after school from his dad. “I was just worried, I didn’t know what was going to happen next.” “Throughout the years, it brings people together ... we have that mutual past.”
CHRIS GOODALE Biology senior
“It was the first day on NPR they didn’t say Republican or Democrat. It was one America, which was nice.”
KATE MCNAMARA Neuroscience senior
“There was an announcement that said ‘the towers have been attacked.’” “The teachers didn’t want to show any of the footage.” “I just remember being really confused. The teachers didn’t want to talk about it and I couldn’t understand why.”
KIM VIRES Psychology senior
“I remember feeling very confused and out of the loop.” She said before, her family never really watched TV, but after, “the news was always on.” “I don’t think we know how horrific it was.”

9/11 Continued from page 1 During his speech on Friday, Gorton told stories of heroes from the attacks. Their sacrifices, he said, like so many others’, “united the nation.” Since being at UK, he has been deployed twice: in 2005 to Iraq and in 2009 to Afghanistan. “I carried my connection to 9/11 with me physically and emotionally,” he said. Everybody is connected to the events, he said, and those connections are important. While the nation crowded around the television, Jennifer Roth was in New York City trying to escape the chaos. Roth, a 1995 UK graduate, was originally interviewed in the Sept. 12, 2001, edition of the Kernel. Her father, Rick Roth, was a UK integrated strategic communication professor at the time. “Ten years later, its hard. I’ve been obviously thinking about this a lot because you can’t escape it right now,” she said. Roth was in a subway car pulling into the station under the World Trade Center when she heard noises. “When the train let us out, you could smell the smoke,” she said. She and other passengers couldn’t figure out what was going on, so they went
outside to see what happened. “What I remember of that day is how confused everybody was,” she said. “There was all this smoke in the air. We were completely mystified.” All Roth wanted to do was distanceherself from the towers. She said she was about four or five blocks away when the second plane hit. “I thought I was going to die,” she said. “When the second plane hit, I thought the first tower exploded and was going to collapse. I was really close to the building, and I thought that was it.” As she dodged behind a column of a building, she remembers seeing an elderly woman who was walking fall down. “What struck me was that two guys stopped to help her back up,” Roth said. Her next order of business was get to her office, 10 blocks from the towers, and make sure everyone was safe. She said her co-workers were in “utter shock and disbelief.” “I couldn’t even understand what was happening,” she said when the first tower came down. “Next thing you know, there was a literal vertical wall of smoke and dust coming down the street.” She eventually was able to call her family and let them know she was safe. As she walked through Greenwich Village, people were helping others, asking if
they needed water and sharing cellphones. Roth finally took a ferry back to her home in New Jersey. She now lives on Long Island. “I don’t know what life would be like if that never happened,” Roth said. “Living in New York after that happened, watching how security checks became routine, I got used to seeing national guards on the street. Those were very strange times.” She said people went back to work the following week. “It was kind of hard to go back. Every day you met someone on the street … it became a very cautious dance, asking if they were OK,” she said. Roth said she has told this story many times. “Everybody felt so connected,” she said. “Everybody watched it happen on TV and everybody I know wanted to hear it firsthand.”
What has changed Nearly 10 years after 9/11, on May 1, U.S. forces killed Osama bin Ladin. “Justice has been done,” President Barack Obama said that Sunday evening. America has changed since 2001. Immediately after the attacks, security got tighter. As fear spread throughout the nation, people became more aware. “I think that what we have learned is vulnerability,” Roth

‘Voodoo Daddy’ brings the swing ST. LOUIS — Back in the 1990s, swing was the thing, taking jazz back to the dance floor and making bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy house-rocking ambassadors of hip nostalgia. As energetic as the swing revival was, it was inevitable that it would lose its cool, as would most of the bands involved in it. But Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has proved to be a grand exception. Still on the road and swinging hard, the band has a fan base that transcends fads. “We had a vision of what we wanted to do, before there was a swing revival and the music got popular,” trumpeter Glen Marhevka said. While the band attracts some of the usual jazz fans, it also appeals to listeners beyond that crowd. “It’s a really wide spectrum of fans agewise, from little kids to grandparents — which is fairly unusual for most bands,” Marhevka said. “One of the big reasons is, we’ve been out on the road for over 15 years, playing 150 to 250 concerts a year that whole time, and we’ve never let up. “Depending on where we go and what the

venue is, we draw in a big core audience.” Big Bad Voodoo Daddy began in 1989 but got its big break when three of its songs — “You&Me&the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby),” “I Wanna Be Like You” and “Go Daddy-O” — turned up on the soundtrack album for the 1996 comedy “Swingers.” Aside from its music, the band is known for its stylish, swing-era attire. “We wear classic suits right out of the 1940s, with vintage ties, two-tone shoes and fedoras,” Marhevka said. “We always try to dress supersharp.” One of the most prominent influences on Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is Cab Calloway, the legendary jazz singer who led one of the most successful African-American big bands of the 1930s and ‘40s. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy pays tribute to the bandleader with its latest album, “How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway.” “Calloway brought such a great energy to the stage,” he said. “And one of the great things about this band is that everybody has tons of energy, and they bring it to the stage every single night.”

said. “It would be really nice if we could learn from how we pulled together that day and how everybody worked together that day.” While listening to a public radio show last week, Stan Brunn, a geography professor, was touched by the heroes of 9/11 who tried to help others. While listening, he said he started to cry. “I hope we’ve learned something,” he said. “I think we have.” Brunn decided after 9/11 that, as a member of the scholarly community, he should do something. So he asked his friends and colleagues to contribute to a book, “11 September and Its Aftermath: The Geopolitics of Terror,” which examines the impact of the events on foreign policy and international relations. He said after 9/11, America came to many realizations. “I think students today are much more globally aware and globally conscious than their parents,” he said. Though he believes college students today didn’t quite understand the whole impact of it when it happened, “all kids would know their lives are different because of it.” Following the attacks on Sept. 11, America’s eyes were opened to Islam. And Brunn believes America has learned much more about the faith. Fatimah Shalash, a recent UK graduate, said there are still a lot of misconceptions about Islam, but it has “offered an opportunity to talk about things.” “There was a lot of suspicion towards Muslims,” Shalash said. But though there was suspicion, she said she was always treated with kindness. “For as much backlash there was against Islam in the media, for me it has opened up conversation about our faith,” she said. Brunn believes it was a brief time of coming together, and America is “not certainly together now.” “We still have a lot of learning to do, a lot of healing to do,” he said. Roth said with the 10th anniversary, “I don’t know
where the place is to draw the line between dwelling on it and remembering it. I’m a little afraid we are dwelling on it more than building from it.” Brunn said he hopes students attend memorial events or do something to remember the people who died. “International terror really hit home,” Brunn said. And 10 years later, Americans have not forgotten. “We must keep alive the connection we have to that day,” Gorton said.

Time to repair the 9/11 divisions CASSIDY
HERRINGTON Kernel columnist
When the twin towers collapsed below the New York City skyline, they brought down a stabilizing element of international relations with them — confidence. As the dust cleared, an unprecedented fear rose from the rubble, and it has tarnished our relations with the rest of the world. The fear became a weapon directed at one target: Islam. In response, Islam fought through dramatic identity crises, particularly this year. Kaffiyeh scarves (the blackand-white Arab scarves that now make a conventional fashion statement) represented terrorism in political cartoons. Baseless fears of Sharia law crept into political discourse. Mosques were vandalized and razed. Airport security augmented racial profiling. Muslims in America became the target of harsh rhetoric and unAmerican violence. The nation divided and so did its openness to diversity and foreigners. The fear seeped further into the conscience of voters, consequently polarizing political parties. Last year the “Ground Zero Mosque” became a fighting ground of political identity — us versus them. A decade after the attacks, the fear continues to undermine internal and international relations. Just last month, The Associated Press reported that the CIA was assisting the New York Police Department in domestic spying in what has been deemed an outright civil-rights violation. The NYPD used the training and technology to monitor ethnic communities in New York, particularly Islamic communities. If there is a year to recognize the positive force of Muslims in the world, it is 2011. Muslim-led revolutions overthrew unspeakable corruption in
Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. The Arab Spring doesn’t end there; uprisings extend to Bahran, Syria and Yemen as well as protests in Jordan, Iraq and Algeria. Robin Wright, a Middle East correspondent, recently published the book “Rock the Casbah,” regarding the uprisings and the rising role of Islam. “The far wider Muslim world is increasingly rejecting extremism,” Wright told The New York Times. “Islam is more about identity than piety, about Muslim values rather than Islamic ideology.” Wright attributed these findings to the 2010 Pew Global Attitudes survey, which found in a sampling of countries that Muslims identify more with “modernizers” than “fundamentalists.” Wright recognized that the youth are the vanguard of these social uprisings and changing the face of Islam, working through social networking, art, film and even hip-hop. The youth make up the majority in all Muslim countries, Wright said. If the youth of these Muslim countries can instigate drastic change on a social level, then we too can instigate an environment of tolerance on our campus. We do not have to fear censorship or grave consequence. Instead, we have only friendships and tolerant conversation to be shared. Now that the dust of 9/11 has long settled, a new consciousness should rise from the gap in the skyline — acceptance. The terrorist attacks didn’t just inflict grief upon Americans. Victims from 91 different countries perished. There are memorials around the world, including in Afghanistan. Ground zero is a common, sacred ground for people of all nationalities and religions. The common ground should be the new guiding concept of U.S. international relations. We share tragedies, cultures and even fears. Cassidy Herrington is a journalism and international studies senior. Email cherrington@kykernel.com.
If you want the change to start with you on a local level, the Christian-Muslim Dialogue will be hosting public discussions at Unitarian Church, 3564 Clays Mill Rd. On Sept. 24 the panel discussion will be on “Students’ Voices: Living in a Foreign Country,” and on Oct. 22 speakers will address the topic: “Sharia Law: What it is and isn’t.”

The UK football team’s home opener against Central Michigan started much the same way UK’s match-up with Western Kentucky started a week ago. The Cats started off slow, falling behind early after Central Michigan knocked home a field goal on its first possession. Once again, UK’s benddon’t-break defense limited the Chippewas on the scoreboard until the offense was able to find its way back into
the game. But following the defense’s biggest stop of the afternoon, the offense responded in an even bigger way, blowing past Central Michigan en route to a 27-13 victory and a 2-0 record to start the season. With Central Michigan leading 13-6 late in the third quarter, facing a fourth-andone from its own 34-yard line, the Chippewas decided to go for the first down rather than punting the ball deep into UK territory to a Cats offense that had made little impact on the game to that point. Central
Michigan was stopped dead in its tracks by the Cats’ defensive front, giving the offense the ball inside Chippewa territory with an opportunity to pull UK back in the game. On the very next play, UK junior quarterback Morgan Newton heaved a pass to a wide open La’Rod King in the end zone for the Cats’ first touchdown of the game. That score would be the first of three unanswered touchdowns by UK in the final 20 minutes of the game. UK brought out all the stops for its home opener in

The Cats closed out their nonconference play Saturday with a 3-0 (25-18, 25-22, 26-24) sweep of West Virginia, earning their seventh consecutive home court victory. UK also claimed wins over Houston in a 3-1 (28-26, 15-25, 25-20, 25-17) victory and Loyola Marymount in a 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-20) win over the weekend. This win over the Mountaineers improved the Cats’ record to 9-2. The first two sets against the Mountaineers came easy, but the Cats struggled during the third set to close out the match. “The nice part is we’re finding ways to win. That’s what good teams have to be able to do,” head coach Craig Skinner said. “If one side of the ball isn’t very good offensively or defensively, then you need to take care of the other side. And defensively we’ve been pretty darn consistent the last few matches.” Although the Cats seemed rushed in the third set, they didn’t let the pressure get to them. “I think we just got a little frazzled,” tournament MVP Ashley Frazier said. “They started to do a few things well and we kind of got all over the place, so we just had to settle down and play our game and do our jobs.” All teammates seem to be participating and contributing in major ways throughout nonconference play, offensively as well as defensively. Junior Stephanie Klefot reached a career 1,000 digs, making her the 10th player in school history to achieve this feat. Senior Gretchen Giesler also earned a team-high nine blocks in UK’s victory over Loyola Marymount. The Cats, with hardly any difficulty, claimed the first two sets against WVU, earning six team blocks in the second set alone. WVU’s attack on UK came as a surpise in the third set. The Cats were down 20-15 in the
third set but clawed their way back to conclude the match. “We push each other pretty hard and we tried to focus more before the game and realized what we have to do individually and as a team,” Klefot said. Klefot closed out the weekend with 15 digs in the win against the Mountaineers. After a long two weeks and a mid-week match-up, UK still managed to come out of the weekend untouched. “Playing seven matches in a span of about seven days is not easy. I’m glad we came out and played the way we did and only dropped one set in seven matches,” Skinner said. “That’s a really good performance by us.” Frazier had a noteworthy weekend, tallying 11 kills, 28 total attacks and five digs, and ultimately earning MVP of the tournament. “(Frazier) gets better every match out. She hadn’t played in two years, up until this preseason. We know she can attack, but she’s starting to do little things like defense, and serve consistently under pressure and blocking,” Skinner said. “She’s a very good leftfront blocker. She was a very solid force this weekend and a very explosive player.” Other big contributors for Saturday’s match included freshman Lauren O’Conner, who racked up 13 kills for UK, sophomore Whitney Billings, who tallied seven kills, 20 total attacks and 11 digs and Giesler, who earned six kills and 14 total attacks. “I think we just really came together as a team and we wanted to defend our home court and our home tournament and win,” Frazier said. “I guess we just wanted to play well and lead ourselves in to our first SEC weekend and kind of build momentum.” The Cats hope to maintain this momentucm into SEC play and continue to chart more wins on their season. UK returns to Memorial Coliseum Friday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. against Auburn.

‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’ shines most at the end DAVE STEELE Kernel columnist
--Architect Alex Hurst (Guy Pearce) and his new squeeze Kim (Katie Holmes) have their eyes set on getting their partially restored Gothic mansion on the cover of a prestigious architecture magazine. In hopes of kickstarting Hurst’s currently sluggish career, the two put everything they’ve got into bringing the mansion back to its former glory. Then a bump in the road arrives in the form of an emotionally compromised daughter sent away by an ex-wife. Sally Hurst (Bailee Madison) feels as if she doesn’t belong and becomes quite a pain for the overwhelmed and overworked Alex and Kim. Desperate for companionship, Sally is lured to a previously undiscovered basement by eerie
whispers that promise friendship and acceptance. Overcome by curiosity, Sally opens a gateway into an underworld infested with cunning, beady-eyed and sharp-clawed creatures with one single burning motivation— hunger. Blindsided by the horror that she has unleashed, Sally desperately attempts to warn Alex and Kim of the impending doom. But there is one small problem— no one believes her. When the trailer ended for this film, seasoned horror flicksters were delighted to learn that “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” a remake, was directed by none other than Mexican film prodigy Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth”, “The Devil’s Backbone”). Del Toro is most known for his use of mythology and creatures to extract chills from viewers, as opposed to the cliché and often overused pop-out and scare tactic. While this film certainly displays del Toros’ forte with exceptionally bone-chilling scenery and a
unique approach to the monsters-in-the-closet routine, it completely falls on its face when it comes to dialogue. This almost always translates into subpar acting and delivery of emotion. It’s hard to blame the talents of Pearce (“Memento”, “L.A. Confidential”) and Holmes (“Batman Begins”, “Phone Booth”) for the lack of substance, because they weren’t really given much to work with. The plot itself was a bit of a coin toss. As soon as audiences began rolling their eyes during the last five minutes at what appears to be an indolent ending, del Toro pulls a rabbit out of the hat with a fascinating twist that makes all the puzzle pieces fit together, thus saving the film. It would have been nice to experience this feeling of excitement and intrigue a bit more during the film rather than in its final minutes, but overall it was an enjoyable movie.

a newly renovated Commonwealth Stadium. The brand new screens, digital ribbon and sound system were in full effect, along with the team’s brand new introduction video, featuring former UK wide receiver Stevie Johnson. But when it came to the game on the field, UK did not look prepared to impress its home fans and defend its new stateof-the-art stadium. The Cats managed just six points in the first half against the Chippewas, and once again had trouble in the passing game holding onto the football. Senior wide receiver Matt Roark, the culprit behind a couple drops against Western Kentucky, dropped a ball while wide open in the end zone on UK’s first drive of the game. Instead of seizing the lead early, the Cats settled for a field goal, tying the game at 3-3. Roark did not line up at receiver again the rest of the afternoon. “We’ve got to get him out of that funk,” UK wide receivers coach Tee Martin said. “It’s kind of like a basketball player at the free throw line, he starts dreading when the ball comes to him or start dreading taking that shot. We’ve got to get him out of that because he can catch, he’s just in that thing where we’ve been on him and he’s heard it, and we just don’t want a kid like that to lose confidence.” But UK’s fourth-down stop, coupled with King’s
touchdown reception, opened the flood gates for the UK offense the rest of the afternoon. Less than four minutes after King’s catch, on UK’s very next offensive drive, freshman running back Josh Clemons took a hand-off 87 yards for a score to extend UK’s lead. The run was the longest by a freshman in the program’s history, and the longest run by any UK player since 1970. Clemons finished with 14 carries for 128 yards and the touchdown, his second in as many career games. Clemons became the first UK freshman to rush for over 100 yards in a game since Arliss Beach did it in 2002. La’Rod King also reached the 100 receiving yard plateau for the first time in his career, with five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. The Cats’ final touchdown of the afternoon came on a naked bootleg by Newton that he kept himself and ran into the end zone to ice the game. “We’ve been making some big plays down the field,” UK head coach Joker Phillips said. “That’s what we expect. The guys have been getting behind people. We just hadn’t been making them. We didn’t make them the first game. We want to throw the ball down the field.” The defense was led, once again, by senior linebacker Danny Trevathan, who finished the game with 13 tackles, three and a half of which
resulted in a loss, and an interception. It was Trevathan’s 11th consecutive game with double-digit tackles. After allowing the Chippewas to score on each of their first three possessions (a touchdown and two field goals), Trevathan and the defense played inspired football, shutting out Central Michigan for the remainder of the game. Senior safety Winston Guy did his part to help the defense, recording 13 tackles of his own. Fellow safety Martavius Neloms, a converted cornerback, added 10 more tackles. “There was a lot of stuff they threw at us that we never seen before,” Trevathan said, “but I think we handled it pretty well.”
