Eavy Hopkins talks with Chris Frazier and his son, Ryan Frazier, during breakfast at Wheeler Pharmacy on Romany Road on Friday. Wheeler is a family-owned pharmacy that also serves breakfast and lunch. no surprise that Wheeler Pharmacy has loyal customers who come back year after year. Employees greet customers by their first names and engage in household conversation. “I think the neat thing about the place is that all the folks that work here all know everybody’s name,” Queen said. “They really get to know you.” Another regular customer, B.G. Hubbs, said he loves the pharmacy
because it is familiar and provides good company. He also mentioned that UK men’s basketball head coach John Calipari comes in to the pharmacy from time to time. Along with Coach Cal, UK Hoops head coach Matthew Mitchell has started a game-day ritual at the pharmacy. “Coach Mitchell is in here every time they have a home game, which is usually on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and he and a couple of
his assistant coaches will come in,” William Wheeler said. “It’s kind of a tradition for them, I think.” Stuart Wheeler encourages locals to branch out and visit the less recognized family-owned businesses around Lexington. “I think we’ve got this mentality today that ‘big is better,’” he said. “Sure, the chains do have everything, but they may not be the only ones around and you might be able to get more for your money.”
Wheeler Pharmacy has been serving customers for 54 years, and it features a 1950s-style fountain lunch counter. Employees great customers by first name and engage in household conversation, contributing to the pharmacy’s comfortable setting.
MSNBC’s ‘Dylan Ratigan Show’ kicks off college tour at UK By Rob Ellery news@kykernel.com
The “30 Million Jobs Tour on The Dylan Ratigan Show” began its college edition at the UK College of Pharmacy Wednesday. “UK really laid down the mark,” said Steve Friedman, executive producer of “The Dylan Ratigan Show.” “The challenge is on for Ohio State and the University of Chicago to see if they can top UK.” Students, faculty and the Wildcat mascot gathered in the atrium of the Bio-Pharmacy building at the College of Pharmacy for the live broadcast from 4 to 5 p.m. The energetic crowd joined the Wildcat in a C-A-T-S chant for the show. Ratigan’s first guest was Rebecca Christopher, a recent UK graduate. Christopher discussed how she landed a job with Corning Glass. “You have to be able to show

Welcomed by genuine employees and friendly neighborhood faces, Wheeler Pharmacy provides familiar service to dozens of customers every day. “It’s always been a neighborhood business,” owner and founder William Wheeler said. “Although we’re close to the university in some respects, it’s still mostly families that live around the neighborhood and not students.” Wheeler Pharmacy, an independent family-owned business in Lexington, offers necessities for everyday living as well as pharmaceutical needs. “I feel like we’re able to provide a little better customer service experience and provide some things that maybe the chains don’t provide,” employee Stuart Wheeler said. “As well as the fountain, which is a great place for people to hang out and meet new people.” One unique feature of the pharmacy is its 50s-style fountain lunch counter. It offers breakfast and lunch, opening at 9 a.m. and closing at 4 p.m. through the week and at 3 p.m. on Saturdays. Rick Queen, a regular customer of the pharmacy for 20 years, said he loves the traditional atmosphere of the fountain. Wheeler Pharmacy is one of a few pharmacies left that still has a fountain. “We probably get more students at the restaurant counter out here than any place else,” William Wheeler said. “Some of them learn about it and start coming in.” After 54 years of service, it is

that you can work with others well,” she said. Christopher explained that UK was helpful in her job search and advocated the importance of showing a company what you have to offer. “I sold myself,” she said. “You need to show that although you haven’t done it before, you are capable of doing it.” Charles Purdy, senior editor of M o n s t e r. c o m , joined Christopher Ratigan on the show and said that companies hire for what you will be able to do for them in the future. “My best advice is planning for the long-term future,” he said. Purdy explained that no one could have predicted having jobs in social media or creating apps 30 years ago.

Ratigan said that his advice for graduates was “very simple.” He advocated the importance of working with others. “The single most valuable skill is the ability to adapt,” Ratigan said. “You develop this by being forced to solve problems in a group.” He said students should approach their job searches by asking, “What need can I help fix in this community?” Michael Bellmore, a social work junior, was pleasantly surprised to find out the show was coming to UK. As a fan of the show, he thought that Lexington was a great choice. “It shows that Lexington is a very promising city with a lot of booming technology,” he said. Ratigan was also happy with his stop at UK. “I loved it,” he said. “I love the sense of community that exists in a place like this.”

Since last year, UK’s track and field team has been collaborating with Soles4Souls, a Nashville-based nonprofit organization that donates shoes to more than 127 countries. Track and field team members senior Josh Nadzam and junior Luis Orta started it after considering the number of pairs of shoes they went through in a season of track and field. The two decided they wanted to do something beneficial with their used pairs of shoes. “Nobody really has the money to give away, so why not give away a pair of shoes you never wear?” Orta said.
for more information Donate any kind of footwear, new or used, to any of the drop-off location. Contact Josh Nadzam at jmdadz2@uky.edu or Luis Orta at ortaluis15@uky.edu for more information. It was this idea that led them to find Soles4Souls. Delivering more than 16 million pairs of shoes to people all over the world, Soles4Souls has made its mission to collect new shoes to give relief to the victims of abject suffering and collects used shoes to support efforts to eradicate poverty, according to its website. Soles4Souls has coordinated relief efforts for the Asian Tsunami, as well as hurricanes Katrina and Rita, netting more than 1 million pairs donated for these disasters. The organization has received donations from footwear companies, retailers, churches, nonprofit ministries, civic groups and individuals, according to its website.

‘Apprentice’ winner talking to engineers By Rachel Sarnovsky news@kykernel.com
UK’s College of Engineering welcomes Randal Pinkett, winner of season four of NBC’s “The Apprentice,” to speak Friday at the Ralph G. Anderson Building. “This event is a celebration of the power of communication in engineering. Our engineers are increasingly challenged to communicate in diverse ways,” said Emily Dotson, associate director of the eStudio, Pinkett the new digital media studio in engineering. “You have to be able to talk about your ideas with different audiences, and to promote and propagate them in increasing-

PINKETT Continued from page 1 and track team while still maintaining a 3.9 GPA in electrical engineering inspires me to push through to earn my degree in engineering,” said Andrea Ramsey, a chemical engineering senior. Pinkett went on to receive a Master of Science in computer science from the University of Oxford in England and then earned a second Master of Science in electrical engineering, along with a Master of Business Administration and a Ph.D. in media arts and sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Dr. Pinkett has a very impressive resume. Knowing how scientific-minded
most engineers are, I was floored to find out Dr. Pinkett is so well versed in soft skills,” Ramsey said. “I’m very interested in leadership skills, so I know how important soft skills such as communication and teamwork are in leading a team to accomplish a goal or task.” The annual Engineers Week event invites speakers who are notable for their communication and leadership skills. Ramsey said she is interested in what Pinkett has to teach about leadership, versatility, persistence and the application of an engineering background in the business world. “I’m excited for him to come because he’s very accomplished in entrepreneurial aspects and could be a great inspiration and role model,” said Lind-
sey Gordon, who is double majoring in biology and psychology. Understanding failures and successes are a conventional part of being an entrepreneur. “Even after multiple failed attempts it’s still important to push and move forward with your goal to get to where you want to be,” Gordon said. “Dr. Randal Pinkett illustrates that anything is possible and everyone can go far with hard work and effort.” The College of Engineering and the eStudio are proud to bring Pinkett to campus. “We want students to see real engineers who move roads, mountains or, in Dr. Pinkett’s case, Donald Trump with the power of their well-communicated ideas,” Dotson said.

Get your Beatles ringtones now LOS ANGELES — Hello hello? Beatles fans can now set their cellphones to alert them to incoming calls with “Hello Goodbye,” take a call from IT support with “Help!” or signal a call from an angry partner with “We Can Work It Out” as the Fab Four’s music has become available for the first time as cellphone ring tones. The group has licensed ringtones from its 27 U.S. and British No. 1 hits, from “Love Me Do” in 1962 through “Hello Goodbye” in 1967 to “The Long and Winding Road” in 1970, replicating the track lineup of the “1” compilation CD, which just surpassed 12 million copies sold in the U.S. since its release in 2000.

It’s the latest incursion of the group’s music into the digital realm after long being withheld from legal downloading. That ended just over one year ago, when the group’s catalog was posted on iTunes in November 2010. Because only the No. 1 hits are available now, it looks like we'll have to wait for the next round of ringtones for hopes of getting that wake-up call to “Good Morning, Good Morning” or “Good Day Sunshine,” a cellular sign-off in the evening with “Good Night” or a warning to unknown call numbers coming in at dinnertime, “Don't Bother Me.”

Sole4Souls, according to a flier. Nadzam and Orta want to make sure that UK wins the shoe drive contest to donate the most shoes. They have no specific goal they hope to reach, but students do have the chance to donate to a cause that could lead Kentucky to victory in making the most donations in the SEC. Last year, Nadzam and Orta collected more than 2,100 pairs of shoes between the months of April and May. And since beginning Feb. 1, they have collected more than 100 pairs. “Whether we only collect one pair, or 1,000 pairs, it’s all better than nothing,” Nadzam said. UK’s campus currently has three drop-off locations: the Johnson Center, the Shively Sports Center and the Center for Academic and Tutorial Services, where anyone in the Lexington area can drop off pairs of shoes they wish to donate. “They are hoping to get more drop-off locations this year,” Nadzam said. The shoe drive will continue through April 27. “It’s been successful for us because people aren’t having to spend extra money to donate, but everyone has an extra pair of shoes to donate,” Nadzam said.

Tragic loss Aging UK coal boilers holding campus back of Alex Ehr For the second time in as many weeks, I submit to this readership a statement on behalf of the Interfraternity Council. This time, however, it is with the heaviest NOLAN of hearts. JACKSON Yesterday evening, Guest our student body sufcolumnist fered the loss of one of its own. Alex Ehr, 19 — diagnosed just six months ago — lost his battle with cancer. By all accounts, Alex possessed considerable presence. His academic and extracurricular merits testify to steadfast leadership and positive ambition. Alex has been recognized as outgoing, devoted, enlightening and encouraging. His passing is a tragic loss to the Greek community and university student body. As our Wildcat family copes, I humbly ask three things: 1) That you reach out to Alex’s friends and brothers of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity to embrace and console as they grieve; 2) That, henceforth, you cherish each waking moment, for sudden loss is a reminder of how tragically and decidedly our circumstances can change; and 3) That you continue to celebrate efforts like DanceBlue, and when you dance in just a few days, remember that this year, your support is especially meaningful. Nolan Jackson is the Interfraternity Council president. Email opinions@kykernel.com.
Per a recent study on campus, two-thirds of you are not aware that UK still operates four coalpowered boilers in two locations on campus, and even fewer are aware just how antiquated they are. Even for coal boilers, SAM these things are diBEAVIN nosaurs—they were up Contributing and running before the columnist Clean Air Act and were grandfathered in under EPA regulations, meaning that the emissions deemed unacceptable for other power plants are still allowed on campus.
The continued operation of these coal-fired boilers is antithetical to the nature of this university’s mission ...
The fact that the university still relies on such outdated technology is nothing short of ridiculous, and it’s past time we recognized the harmful effects this situation has for our
campus, community, and environment. A phenomenal new report from Dr. Shannon Bell’s sociology class details some of the harmful effects of these coal-fired power plants: soot collected from on-campus parking garages was found to contain arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, and other carcinogens. Needless to say, this is not good. While Kentucky is certainly a coal state (one need look no farther than the Wildcat Coal Lodge for proof of coal’s influence on our university), this historical legacy hardly precludes the need for modern-day solutions. The report suggests a number of steps that the university can take right away to begin addressing these issues, including signing a nation-wide pledge to commit to more environmentally friendly policies (which almost 700 other universities have already done) and conducting feasibility studies to look at both alternative energy solutions and funding sources to make them happen. It’s obviously unrealistic to think that the boilers could be switched off tomorrow, and no one is asking for that. But the process of finding alternative means for heating our homes and powering our campus is certainly a challenge we’re capable of meeting. Many schools in our region have already committed to substantially reducing their environmental impact and are leading the move toward a truly sustainable energy future. The University of Louisville has committed to reach climate neutrality by 2050 and already has stopped burning coal on campus. Ball State has found affordable ways to introduce geot-
hermal power on campus, substantially reducing their energy consumption. If UK truly aspires to be a top-flight academic institution, how can we go on ignoring such a fundamental part of our world’s future when other schools in our region have proven that such solutions do exist? The continued operation of these coalfired boilers is antithetical to the nature of this university’s mission, which is supposed to be home to some of the brightest minds and most creative thinkers in the state. Given the overwhelming evidence against coal — the destruction of mountains, the rise of global temperatures, the release of these toxins into our environment — it’s beyond time we begin to consider the alternatives.

The market carries a variety of items, such as chips, candy and any type of snack desired, as well as drinks. Food, from the popular catfish platter to a burger and fries, can also be cooked. Gordon Bentley, the owner of Phil’s, is also a cook and has been there since the beginning. The market employs two full-time cooks and another who is part-time, in addition to Bentley himself. Phil’s started out where Wildcat Textbooks is located, then moved to the space next to Prince Hookah Lounge. It has been running for 32 years at its current location, Bentley said. Throughout high school, Bentley worked for a woman named Ms. Phillips, which inspired the name “Phillip’s Market.” When Ms. Phillips died, she left the market for him, who now carries it on as best he can. Bentley’s head cashier, Terry Day, is a big help to the market. He takes care of the finances, talks to customers and helps them with anything they may need. Before he started at Phil’s Market, he rented from Bentley and lived in one of the apartments above the market for six years. He was able to step into the business easily because he used to work
in retail. Still, Day finds the job demanding. “It’s not all that easy,” he said. “The public can be very hard to deal with at times.” Without having any of the prices listed by the cash register, he has to remember most, if not all, of the prices for the snacks and for all the meals made by cooks. When walking in and getting a whiff of the food, you realize the smell will be attached on your clothes when you leave. But the smell that follows is well worth it when walking out with a full belly of food. And the prices aren’t high, either. “Compared to other places, their prices at Phil’s Market are reasonable, especially since it’s homemade and quick and easy,” said Jin Ho Park, a hospitality junior. “Like today, I’m getting a burger to go and will just eat it on my way to my next class.” Entering through the front door from South Limestone, one walks down a hallway with tables set up on the left and bright orange chairs for customers to relax and eat. Farther down is the cash register, and on the other side of the register are the cooks.
Being able to see the cooks making meals is different from most deli environments, because it gives a feeling of comfort that students miss out on when being away at college. Behind the wall across from the cash register, there is another room with rows of chips and snacks, as well as drinks. Tables are also set up in this area for customers to sit and eat, or just hang out. Students and faculty make the market a popular stop during the five days a week it is open. Park comes into Phil’s at least four times a month, if not more, he said. His favorite on the menu is the cheeseburger. On his first time at Phil’s, he bought cigarettes and didn’t know what to expect. He wasn’t aware that he could sit down and have a meal. “It’s a very convenient location for all students and priced very well” Park said. Morgan McKenzie works full time on campus. She comes in once a week on average to grab lunch or a snack while on her break. Her favorite on the menu is the grilled chicken sandwich. “It’s very convenient for me since I’m on campus and the prices are cheap,” McKenzie said.
