Dancing into spring UK students perform 12 dances

Art blooms in weekend exhibit By Anne Halliwell ahalliwell@kykernel.com
Visitors to the Art Museum in the Singletary Center were greeted by huge tissue paper blooms at the entrance, which announced the 2015 Art in Bloom cocktail party on Saturday night. Past the welcome desk, a sped-up projection of flowers unfurling played on a loop as museum workers prepared for the night’s crowd. Stuart Horodner, the director of the Art Museum, said the cocktail party was a combination of the floral theme, visible downstairs and in the gallery, which placed large flower arrangements next to the artworks that served as their inspiration, and many other forms of artwork that played off of one another. The arrangements grew more abstract as viewers made their way through the gallery. As attendees ventured further, a fall of blooms could become a bent figure, or a collection of stems might represent a leg or part of a geometric shape. Horodner said artistic inspiration carried to the food. “This is really the first year in the history of this yearly event that we’ve invited some of the top chefs to
Dozens of UK students and Lexington residents visited the Singletary Center on Saturday and Sunday to witness contemporary dance moves with some retro costumes. Students from UK Dance Ensemble performed 12 dances to the beat of varying music, lighting and themes for the organization’s “Spring into Action” concert, which featured dance titles such as “The Battle” and “A Silent Struggle.”
Arbor Day event celebrates plants, UK’s arboretum By Ken Parton news@kykernel.com

make food for tonight,” Horodner said. On Saturday afternoon, the pedestals for the “250 unique bites of food” stood empty. Horodner said the idea, though, was to serve the food “as art.” Horodner noted that the cocktails by Maker’s Mark
would be unique to the event. Behind the entry wall, several poems were on display from a project where the Art Museum asked local poets — including UK professors Frank X Walker, Erik Reece and Julia Johnson — to view pieces of art in the museum and write about them.
The poems were made into a book, which Horodner said was also for sale. “This event has always been showing the museum off, trying to raise money,” Horodner said. “We’re trying to expand the event to more art forms … to showing creativity in all of its forms.”
UK students braved rainy conditions on Saturday to attend the 24th annual Arbor Day celebration hosted at the arboretum in Lexington. Mayor Jim Gray kicked off the day with a proclamation in which he talked about the importance of preserving the arboretum for the community. With more than 40 exhibitors, there was plenty for attendants to see and learn about preservation for the plant life that makes up the arboretum. Four tents were spread throughout the park, where people could learn about local plants, gardening, bird feeding, watch puppet shows and more. Tree education is what Dave Leonard, UK alum and one of the founding members of the arboretum, gets most excited about. “The goal is to educate people to know the benefit of trees and all they do for us,”
Leonard said. Leonard donated a Pignut hickory tree for the tree planting ceremony, and while planting he said “I've been doing this for over 40 years and planting trees with the community is still a wonderful thing.” Leonard also added that although planting trees is noble, preserving and taking care of the existing trees is the most important aspect of preservation. Adults and children were walking away with free trees along with the knowledge to plant and care for them. Lorraine Charbonneu of Lexington has made a tradition of planting a tree that she gets on Arbor Day. Charbonneu said “I feel like it is my way of paying it forward for nature, and it's fun!” Biology junior Stefan Vidovich said he wishes more students came to the celebration. “This is my second time coming and I feel like this is something students could really appreciate.”
Softball drops another SEC series on Senior Day Despite two Joiner home runs, Georgia sweeps Cats 8-4 By Jordan Ondrof sports@kykernel.com

Catcher Griffin Joiner hurls the ball to another player during UK’s game against Georgia at John Cropp Stadium in Lexington, Ky., on Sunday.

The SEC continues to tighten its chokehold on a struggling UK team as Georgia becomes the 16th conference team to defeat the Cats this season as the Bulldogs held off UK 8-4 on Senior Day. Griffin Joiner hit two home runs in the loss, but six Georgia runs in the top of the fifth inning once again silenced UK as the Bulldogs swept the Cats at John Cropp Stadium.
The loss pushed UK even deeper into the conference hole with UK holding a 5-16 record in the SEC, a byproduct of inconsistency, which Joiner noted after the loss. “We’re going to keep trying to work on the little things,” Joiner said. “We’re right there. We just have to pull everything together because not everything is clicking at the same time. We’re going to keep working and hopefully peak at the right time, that’s our goal.” Despite the loss, Joiner ended her run as a Cat at John

Cropp in style, plating every run for UK. “That is potentially the last time I will ever play on that field,” she said. The Cats led 3-2 until three consecutive bunts by Georgia in the fifth inning loaded the bases. UK’s Kelsey Nunley continues to struggle, as she pitched five innings, allowing eight runs on nine hits with eight strikeouts. With the loss, Nunley falls to 12-13 on the season. “The game simply got away because we didn’t defend the bunt,” head coach
Rachel Lawson said. “I thought we hung in tough. We have more hits, we got more runs, that’s something we haven’t done in a while.” UK has lost nine of the last 11 games. Joiner said the focus of the team will shift to Tennessee with the hopes of finishing the season strong. “The post season is a whole new game,” Joiner said. “We’re trying to all pull together and fight here in the end. Whatever happens, happens. All we can control is fighting so that’s what were going to do.”

Band brings modern Bluegrass MATT WICKSTROM Kernel Columnist
Just when you thought you’d heard all that Bluegrass music had to offer, a band like the Blind Corn Liquor Pickers comes around and throws a wrench into everything you thought you knew. The septet from right here in Lexington takes a very modern approach to Bluegrass music, much like recent mainstream acts The Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons. The result is a fast-paced, action-packed experience that will leave anyone within hearing distance in complete awe and in a state of bliss. Founded in the early 2000s as a four-piece band, Blind Corn has expanded and shuffled band members numerous times in their near 15-year history of performing.
The band is comprised of Beth Walker on vocals, Joel Serdenis on mandolin and vocals, Travis Young on banjo, Frank Ward on guitar and vocals, Ben Vogelpohl on drums, Will Rush on bass, and Jeoffrey Teague on electric guitar. Thomas Usher also joins the band on occasion. Usher plays a plethora of instruments and is a Performing Arts graduate of Berea College. Due to some of the band members living out of state, having families of their own or full-time jobs, the Blind Corn Liquor Pickers don’t play shows or even practice together as often as most bands. For most acts this would be detrimental, but according to Walker the distance between everyone only brings them closer together. “Everyone in the band loves what we do so much,” Walker said. “The band is like family. “When we do get together, the music is almost new to us in a way, so when we are able to play together
it’s that much more meaningful.” The Blind Corn Liquor Pickers are currently preparing for the Moonshiner’s Ball: a celebration of Kentucky music and culture. The festival is hosted by Blind Corn in Berea, Kentucky, at Homegrown Hideaways campground from May 15-17, and is in its second year. Many other Kentucky acts will be performing at the festival including the Restless Leg String Band, Coralee and the Townies, Driftwood Gypsy, Ben Sollee, and The Baja Yetis, among others. “We want to try to highlight Kentucky music as much as possible,” Walker said. “We don’t feel like it gets highlighted enough. A lot of the festivals in the state don’t really highlight Kentucky music and artists.” Walker went on to describe that even bands without a big reputation or name for themselves love what they do and work just as
Budget-friendly Pies and Pints a good find for food, drinks Eatery features 35 beer taps, 16 specialty pizzas JAMILYN HALL Kernel Columnist
In downtown Lexington nestled across the street from Rupp Arena, stands a restaurant filled with grins, pizza and craft beer. Unique style is the name of the game to this eatery, majoring in fresh ingredients, blasts of flavor and house-made items. Pies and Pints has been featured on the Cooking Channel, Food Network Magazine, Huffington Post Food and much more. Not only are the pies creating chatter, their selection of craft beer creates regulars, with 35 taps including draft root beer. The Lexington location at the Square downtown is the only one in the Bluegrass, but the chain spreads throughout West Virginia and Ohio, making eight locations and more coming. Over the bar sits screens filled with descriptions of the beers and a meter describing how much of the tap is left–
something unheard of in Lexington. House pies and specialty pies create the menu, like the Thai specialty pie made up of shrimp, toasted coconut, Thai curry sauce, lime, cilantro and basil, on top of provolone and mozzarella, on the house-made and hand-tossed dough. The two house pies can be personalized with toppings or ordered original. The pizza pie is the classic mix of mozzarella, provolone and tomato sauce, but one can also choose its brother– the white pie. The white pie contains ricotta, mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, roasted garlic and fresh herbs. Both of the house pies are two great cheaper alternatives to the specialty. Another interesting specialty pie – just one of 16 – is the vegetarian Black Bean made up of seasoned black beans, cheddar, jalapeños, salsa, cilantro and crème fraiche on top of the house made dough. The crusts of the pies are finished with roasted garlic oil and kosher salt. Though they are known for their pizzas, the salads are not far behind; all dressings,
croutons and focaccia bread are made in-house. Not only are the salads house-made, the New York Cheesecake and Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Terrine – alternating layers of brownie and peanut butter covered with chocolate ganache – are fresh. As far as the appetizers go, the nachos are definitely notable (yes, great nachos at a pizza joint). The chips are pleasing and the salsa is freshly made – by far my favorite in Lexington. As far as the atmosphere goes, the decor and dim lighting creates a great experience. From a date night to evening with friends, the Pies and Pints has you not wanting to leave. If saving money is crucial part when dinning out, customers can do so by visiting Pies and Pints happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. With great atmosphere, excellent craft beer and even better pizza, this eatery is undeniably one to try. Jamilyn Hall is a journalism and mass communication junior. Email opinions@ kykernel.com

Powerful aftershocks terify Nepal quake survivors By Julie Makinen, Bhrikuti Rai and Alexandra Zavis Zavis Los Angeles Times (TNS)
KATHMANDU, Nepal — Powerful aftershocks jolted Nepal's Kathmandu region Sunday, sending terrified residents fleeing one day after the impoverished mountain kingdom was hit by its worst earthquake in 80 years. As rescue workers scrambled to dig survivors from the rubble, authorities in Nepal said the death toll in that country alone had exceeded 2,430. They included more than 1,000 people killed in the densely populated Kathmandu Valley and 17 who died in an avalanche that swept into a base camp for climbers attempting to scale Mount Everest. At least 69 others died in India, most of them in the northeast border state of Bihar, with additional deaths reported in other neighboring countries. Saturday's 7.8 quake collapsed historic temples, rav-
aged infrastructure and triggered the deadly avalanche on Mount Everest, where 217 people were still missing Sunday. Nepal's Tourism Ministry reported at least 32 others had been airlifted off the mountain, with 29 of them being treated at Lukla Hospital, a few miles below Everest. At least three Americans were among the dead, the State Department said. They included a San Francisco Bay Area Google executive, Dan Fredinburg, who was caught in the avalanche. In Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, just 50 miles from the epicenter of the quake, thousands were camped out in the streets and any available open space, afraid that dozens of aftershocks could bring buildings down on top of them. “No one is sleeping indoors,” said Tamdim Dorjee, a Kathmandu resident reached by phone. “All the buildings are empty. All the people are out on the football grounds and
other open spaces.” Rescue efforts were intensifying as planeloads of aid and personnel started arriving. Soldiers dug people out of collapsed homes with their hands and carried away the dead. “Many people are still under the rubble,” Dorjee said. “There is no modern machinery to pick up the bricks. Everything is by hand.” Frances Howland, a nurse reached by phone in Kathmandu, described the panic when the worst of the aftershocks, a 6.7 temblor, hit in the early afternoon. “Some of the city's major hospitals were damaged in Saturday's quake, complicating relief efforts, she said. “Grande International is badly cracked and all the patients have been evacuated,” she said. “Another hospital, Norvick, has also been badly damaged. They're seeing patients outside across the road. The main hospital, which is called Teaching Hospital, is fully functioning.
hard as bands that tour nationally, and deserve the same amount of respect as a result. The Moonshiner’s Ball also features several acts from outside of Kentucky, including Moon Hooch from New York City, Vandaveer from Washington, D.C. and Yes, Ma’am from New Orleans. Aside from music, the Moonshiner’s Ball will also feature poetry, fire dancing, yoga and the best food trucks from around the Bluegrass State. After the Moonshiners Ball, Blind Corn’s next scheduled show in Lexington isn’t until October 8 at Thursday Night Live at Cheapside Park in the heart of downtown. A full rundown of the acts, camping, tickets and much more concerning the Moonshiner’s Ball can be found at themoonshinersball.com. Matt Wickstrom is a journalism junior. Email opinions@ kykernel.com

MSU QB recruit deWeaver: UK winning streak ended Harbaugh still wanted me Florida ended UK’s winning streak at six games on Sunday as the Gators salvaged the final of a three-game series behind 10 unanswered runs at McKethan Stadium. Florida’s 10-1 victory ended UK’s hopes of finishing its first sweep of Florida since 1993. The Cats won the first two games 3-0 and 7-6, but couldn’t muster a third win against the No. 5 team in the country. The Cats collected just six hits on offense and pitcher Andrew Nelson (23) allowed eight hits and five runs in just three innings of work in the loss. Five pitchers took the mound for UK, and except Bo Wilson, each allowed a minimum of one run.

EAST LANSING, Mich. _ Whenever a hotly pursued recruit switches from one school to another and especially if those schools are rivals the fans of both sides inevitably will end up with very different stories about how it all went down. Such is the case with Messiah deWeaver, a Huber Heights (Ohio) Wayne senior quarterback and four-star recruit who announced his decision to attend Michigan State on Wednesday. He previously was committed to Michigan. And a day after committing to the Spartans, he gave his side of how the process took place, saying he started to doubt his commitment to
UM when things started going badly for coach Brady Hoke last season. He also said that new UM coach Jim Harbaugh tried to keep him as part of UM's 2016 class. DeWeaver said on "The Drive with Jack Ebling" on WQTX-FM (92.1) in Lansing that Harbaugh told him "how much he wanted me still there, to stay in and to recruit for that class." DeWeaver said he responded that "I felt like I needed to do things over and look at other options and see what's best for me." "That's the gist of how that conversation went," deWeaver said. "We didn't talk for very long." Harbaugh, for the record, has been collecting quarterbacks in bulk since taking the job and got a
2016 commitment from Brandon Peters of Avon, Ind., earlier this month. Rivals.com ranks Peters the No. 5 pro-style quarterback in the nation, and it has deWeaver No. 8. "I had a great relationship with coach Brady Hoke and his staff, and once things started going downhill, I was thinking things over," deWeaver said. "It's a great program over there, but in my heart of hearts, I just felt Michigan State was a better school for me. Coach Harbaugh came on, he still recruited me, I still had an offer from them. But at the end of the day, I thought Michigan State was the best school for me, overall. I love coach (Mark) Dantonio and his staff, and I just felt like that's where I needed to be."
UK jumped on the board first in the top of the second inning after Storm Wilson singled to start the inning, Thomas Bernal then hit a single to centerfield that sent Wilson to third base. Zach Arnold followed with a single to left that drove in Wilson. Florida, however, responded immediately in the bottom of the inning. Josh Tobias led off with a walk and Peter Alonso hit a double into rightcenter that scored Tobias. JJ Schwarz added to the lead with a sacrifice fly that scored Harrison Bader. Florida then padded its lead in the fourth inning after UK failed to add any runs. With two runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth inning, the rout was on for
a Florida team looking to salvage a weekend home series against an inconsistent UK team. Florida’s Alex Faedo propelled his team to the win behind five innings of work. He allowed six singles and just one run while striking out four. Righty Taylor Lewis took the mound in relief for Florida in the sixth to help the Gators escape the jam. He threw two innings and stuck out two. Closer Bobby Poyner came in to finish out the game for Florida. UK’s win on Saturday helped it clinch its second consecutive series win over Florida.
