The decision of a lifetime

Democratic gubernatorial candidate talks upbringing, values

By Cheyene Miller cmiller@kykernel.com After failing to win a U.S. Senate seat in 2010, Jack Conway thought long and hard about seeking a second term as Kentucky attorney general.

He and his wife Elizabeth sat down and discussed their options, coming to three conclusions: nothing would be as bad as the senate race, he shouldn’t make decisions that went against his gut, and he should focus on what he could do for the state.

After being re-elected attorney general, Conway discussed the possibility of running for governor with friend and current Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Crit Luallen.

“Somewhere along there I decided I wanted to run,” Conway said.

Conway said his upbringing in Louisville helped instill values that he influenced his duties as an elected official.

“I always had more of a ‘looking out toward the state perspective’ than most people from Louisville,” Con-

way said. “(My parents) really instilled in me the values of hard work and setting goals and trying to achieve them.”

Conway earned his law degree from George Washington University Law School in 1995, after which he joined former Kentucky governor Paul E. Patton’s campaign.

It was there where Patton and other Kentucky government figures started to push him toward a political career.

“They saw something in me that I quite frankly didn’t see in myself, which was that I could go beyond being a lawyer ... and I could be a candidate myself,” Conway said.

When Conway told his wife Elizabeth he wanted to run for governor, she became a vital member of his campaign and support system.

“I couldn’t do it without my remarkable wife,” Conway said. “Elizabeth is just fantastic, and is a professional woman who is strong and gives me great advice.”

Conway said his daughters were too young to have a reaction when he first told them he was running for

governor, but are now starting to understand.

“The challenge for us is to make it as normal as possible for those girls,” Conway said. “I very much want to be governor. I think I’m going to be the next governor of Kentucky, but I’ll never have a more important title than the title of dad.”

Conway is running against Republican candidate and businessman Matt Bevin, who he disagrees with on a number of policy issues.

“We haven’t had much of a chance to talk about anything other than policy,” Conway said. “My only interaction with him has been at debates and joint public appearances, and we don’t generally agree on much.”

Through all the political diatribes and partisanship, Conway said he respects Bevin as a family man.

“He has given an opportunity for a very good home to some children that otherwise wouldn’t have had one,” Conway said. “I think that’s something to be admired.”

The election is Tuesday, Nov. 3.

PHOTO BY MICHAEL REAVES I STAFF Conway said that being governor involves several duties such as providing public safety, improving education and creating jobs. He said that education is about 60 percent of the state’s budget.

NOTE FROM EDITORIAL BOARD Matt Bevin has not responded to multiple requests to meet with the Kentucky Kernel editorial board.

Lessons from the holy land

Assistant professor hopes to create study program in Israel

By Cheyene Miller cmiller@kykernel.com When students enroll in a class taught by Jewish studies assistant professor Daniel Frese, they can expect to actively participate.

Originally from California’s Central Valley, Frese lived in Israel for three years while studying for his master’s degree at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

In addition to his classes, Frese said he hopes to start a program to take students abroad to Israel for the summer and study archeological sites related to the Bible.

Frese noted the cultural differences between Israel and the U.S., including that the entire country of Israel essentially PHOTO BY MICHAEL REAVES I STAFF shuts down on Saturday in obAssistant professor of Jewish studies Daniel Frese often rushed to buy servation of Shabbat, the Jewgroceries on Fridays because the entire city shut down on Saturdays. ish day of rest.

Freese hopes to start a study abroad program to Israel for UK students.

“It would always seem to be that I forgot to go grocery shopping and would have to rush to the store on Friday afternoon before Shabbat started or else I wouldn’t have enough food for the weekend,” Frese said.

Frese also said Israel is religiously diverse depending on

“I’m looking at the architecture of (the) gates, how they were built, why they were constructed in the very particular way that they were, because they were built the same way

The gateways served mainly for defense, but also as a place for social interaction and trade, Frese said.

Frese not only looks at the physical purposes of the gates, but also their symbolism in the Bible.

Frese described his teaching style as informal, and said he likes to “keep it light.”

“I don’t like to lecture too much,” said Frese, who prefers to engage students and have them share thoughts to improve their critical thinking abilities.

Frese said he promotes debate among students with the understanding that everyone must be able to back up their argument with logic.

“As long as the debate is respectful, it can be very fruitful,” Frese said.

Taylor Swift illuminates Rupp with mix of classics, new songs 1989 World Tour marks the fourth time Swift has visited Lexington

By Daniel Bodden news@kykernel.com

A sea of glowing bracelets.

A rising catwalk revolving and gliding around the crowd. A troupe of muscular male dancers surrounding a tall blonde effortlessly belting out the lyrics to smash hit after smash hit.

Taylor Swift was back in Lexington on Tuesday night.

The pop icon performed to a sold-out crowd of 18,000 at Rupp Arena as part of her 1989 World Tour.

Swift performed 12 of the 16 songs from “1989” and other fan favorites from previous albums throughout the show.

Older songs from her country phase, including “Fifteen” and “Love Story,” were reinvented with the pop treatment as Swift showcased her committed switch to a new genre with her fifth studio album.

“I like her new style, but I thought it was also cool that she added some of the old stuff back into it,” said Ryan Alexander, a horticulture junior.

The show featured a lengthy catwalk that allowed Swift to walk among the crowd during portions of the show. The catwalk’s capability to rise and spin was utilized throughout the show for Swift to interact with audience members who were further away.

Glowing bracelets synchronized to flash set colors to the beat of each song were given to every audience member. According to Swift, this was done intentionally so she could see each individual crowd member.

“I thought she was really

engaged with the crowd, more than other artists I’ve seen,” Alexander said. “She was really into making you feel like you were part of the concert. I thought the catwalk was awesome.”

At one point, before singing “Clean,” Swift encouraged the audience to remain authentic and spoke against cyberbullying. She told the crowd, “There’s something more important than being cool. It’s being happy.”

Swift has headlined shows at Rupp Arena four times, on each of her four concert tours.

Most recently was the Red Tour in April 2013.

“1989” was released on Oct. 27, 2014 and sold more than 1.2 million copies in its first week, giving Swift the largest sales week for an al-

bum since 2002 and beating all other albums released in 2014 in total sales after just one week, as tracked by Billboard.

The album has now sold more than five million copies, and her most recent single, “Wildest Dreams,” stands at number four on iTunes as of press time. “(The album) was so different than anything she had ever done before,” said Sydney Petersen, an economics freshman. “A lot of times ... you like some songs more than others, but I didn’t think any songs were bad.”

The album diverged from Swift’s roots and was the first album to feature no country songs. Swift named it after her birth year and used 1980s musical trends as inspiration for the album’s songs.

“I like her new style because she’s so confident,” senior economics and Spanish major Malia Dunn-Reier said.

“She’s a great performer.”

The 1989 World Tour began on July 5 in Tokyo. Swift will remain in the U.S. for the remainder of October, take a week off, then finish her last 12 shows in Asia and Australia during November and December. The tour will conclude on Dec. 12 in Melbourne, Australia. Martin said the “1989” tour is one to remember.

“I think it’s the attention to detail with the different outfits and the bracelets and everything,” said Sam Martin, amechanical engineering freshman. “I think there’s a lot of innovative thinking that goes into it and it all goes really well together.”

Kentucky jails need major reform When people go to jail in Kentucky there is no guarantee they will receive proper medical treatment or security, and it does not look like this will change any time soon.

An in-depth investigative series by the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting revealed several major issues facing Kentucky jails and the estimated 20,000 people currently residing in them.

Among the problems are the lack of qualifications necessary to work in the jail system. According to findings by the KCIR, to be a jailer only requires that the individual is at least 24 years old, has lived in-state for one

year in the county of candidacy.

Jailers and their deputies aren’t required to have any formal training or experience in the correctional system.

Prisoners often do not receive proper health and safety protections, and this has led to deaths in several instances.

Several of the reviewed deaths did not receive an adequate investigation.

To make matters even worse, the Department of Corrections doesn’t seem to do an adequate job of tracking deaths. The KCIR investigation disclosed several deaths that were not recorded by the DOC, and many of the reported deaths lacked a

specific cause.

The investigation also notes that despite these glaring errors in the correctional system, there has been little reform. The investigation focused heavily on the Grant County jail, which has been under investigation by the Department of Justice for 12 years with no signs of impending reform.

In one case in Grant County, a diabetic 41-year-old man died after employees failed to give him insulin, which was ordered by a doctor. His crime was failure to pay $3,380 in restitution.

One can expect the occasional case of incompetence or botched performance in any

public institution, but when deaths do not receive a proper investigation, it’s time citizens start pushing for major reform.

Kentuckians should look into the possibility of training jailers and their deputies with rigor similar to that of a sheriff or other elected law enforcement official. A mandatory minimum set of safety and health regulations should be implemented statewide that provide prisoners with access to sufficient health care, and there needs to be more oversight for the DOC to ensure that it adequately tracks deaths within its facilities. At the very least, the department should find and record the cause of death.

It is easy to completely disregard the civil rights of prisoners. They are by definition people who have broken the law and are being punished. We therefore tend to cast them aside to the lowest rung of society and never give them a second thought. In light of this perspective, it is easy to understand why the Kentucky jail system is littered with problems.

But these problems are fixable. Even though these problems affect convicted criminals, Kentuckians should do all they can to ensure all our citizens receive basic human care.

Students should work to end ‘slut shaming’ Nothing can ruin a woman’s reputation faster than a naked picture. This happens again and again in our culture, and the way media handle victims is negative and needs to be corrected.

Women are often shamed for sending naked pictures to a significant other, and are riduculed by the media and society for the photos that surface on public platforms.

“Slut” is a gendered word, and has been applied to women of every size, race and age.

Geekfeminism.org defines slut-shaming as, “The act of criticising a woman for her real or presumed sexual activity, or for behaving in ways that someone thinks are associated with her real or presumed sexual activity.”

Naked pictures are common.

So why does society tarnish women for sending pictures instead of those who publicize them? Why are the real perpetrators not prosecuted for submitting pictures to revenge porn websites?

“Often times we are con-

tent with sexually objectified pictures,” said Christia Brown, associate professor of developmental psychology. “Magazine ads, billboards and TV shows have lots of, basically, soft core porn on them.”

Men who send nude pictures receive considerably less backlash than women.

Why are we slut shaming women in particular?

Guns are dangerous to children at home Assistant Opinions Editor

Coming from a long line of gun owners, my grandfather told me after turning 21 he wanted me to get my concealed carry license. But there are issues with having a gun in the home.

According to ABC News, in a study of 286 parents visiting emergency rooms in North Carolina, 99 percent of the households had at least one smoke detector. On the other hand, only 57 percent said they locked away guns in a place where their children could not access them.

It is a sticky situation to have guns in a house with children, since they cannot understand the difference between movies and reality. It is not just the accidental discharges that endanger children. According to the same study, 55 percent of gun deaths among children age 10 to 18 in were homicides and 39 percent were suicides in

1998.

Recently a six-year-old boy in Chicago shot his threeyear-old brother when playing cops and robbers, according to The Daily Dot. This isn’t just a recent trend because of the increase in gun purchases that have come from the many instances of mass gun violence in the country.

More guns do not make everyone safer. They increase the risk of an accidental shooting.”

An article in The Washington Post found that in 2015 there were at least 43 instances where someone was shot by a toddler, over one case a week.

There are many ways to protect yourself and your family from home invasions

90 percent of revenge porn victims are women, according to the CCRI’s sample.

“I think for women we have to change the stereotype and get rid of that stigma. Women should also be allowed to be sexual in the same way that men are,” Brown said. “What’s tough about the slut shaming is basically we say, ‘We want you to be objectified, but we don’t want you to be in charge of your sexuality.’”

According to CCRI, 93 percent of victims have suffered significant emotional distress due to being a victim.

Of women being slut shamed, 59 percent of the victims full names were leaked, according to the CCRI. Women whose pictures are being leaked onto revenge porn websites are being threatened, receive emotional distress and their futures are at stake. For slut shaming to stop, society needs to change the way we see women and their sexuality.

when nude photos of men pop up, there is never any shaming of that because the expectation is that they are sexually active, which is a positive thing for them.”

As Brown stated, public figures and celebrities also receive backlash.

Most home invasions happen when no one is home, and guns can easily be stolen when they’re not properly locked up, according to Safe Wise. Also, only 12 percent of offenders are armed with a firearm in the event of a home invasion, according to business and marketing blogger Brandon Gaille.

According to a study by the Violence Policy Center, 259 people used a gun to kill someone in self-defense in 2012, but there were 8,342 criminal homicides involving a gun. More guns do not make everyone safer, instead they increase the risk of an accidental shooting.

Second Amendment should be carefully cherished CHEYENE MILLER Managing Editor

Let me be the first to say I am no arsenal-touting NRA member. We have a serious gun problem in our country that has led to far too many deaths, and common sense gun control measures are the only way to ensure that we progress to the lower levels of gun violence that other developed countries enjoy.

However, the 2nd Amendment is a privilege that Americans should cherish, and they shouldn’t feel ashamed of keeping a gun in the home for the protection of oneself and one’s family.

Of course the biggest concern of potential gun owners regarding keeping a firearm in the house is often the safety of children, and for good reason.

Hundreds of U.S. children are killed every year in accidents, making the responsibility of the gun owner that much greater. Thankfully there are methods to decrease the likelihood

that this horrendous scenario would ever occur.

KEEP IT LOCKED: The best way to ensure children don’t have access to a gun is to secure it in a gun safe or lock box. For further safety, secure the gun with a trigger lock or cable lock. This will not only serve as a deterrent for children in the house, but also

It’s an old expression, but knowledge is power when it comes to dealing with children and firearms.” for any intruders breaking into the home when no one else is around.

KEEP IT HIDDEN: While many gun owners assume their children don’t know where the household gun is, simply because the parents

never tell them, children are naturally curious and adventurous. It’s often only a matter of time before they stumble upon a firearm lying casually in the bedside dresser. Therefore, this dictates that you get creative with your hiding spot.

KEEP IT UNLOADED: While it may seem to contradict common sense, keeping firearms unloaded is shown to greatly decrease the risk of an unintended discharge, as many untrained users might not be capable of loading the gun.

TALK TO YOUR KIDS: Much like the sex talk, discussing guns and the dangers that come with owning guns is something many parents don’t want to talk to their kids about, but every child should hear this from an early age. It’s an old expression, but knowledge is power when it comes to dealing with children and firearms.

Kids should be constantly educated about gun safety, and about the potential consequences of misusing one.

Brewing behind the scenes

West Sixth’s brewery tours are a must for Lexington’s local beer lovers ADAM PENNAVARIA Beer Columnist

Do you remember the first time you stepped inside a candy store as a child? If you can’t,

I feel sorry for you. If you can, then you know how I felt when I stepped onto the West Sixth Brewery tour on Sunday.

After giving a brief but detailed history of the building — formerly the Rainbo Bread Factory — the tour guide led the group into the back of the brewery. Inside, we saw

the shiny stainless steel vats in which their taproom beers are brewed. The guide talked about the different grains (barley, malt and hops) that are used as the building blocks of beer, and explained the brewing process. The tour also showed the experimental brew stations where West Sixth tests PHOTO BY ADAM PENNAVARIA I STAFF West Sixth Brewing employee Kaitlyn Colberg shows off the local brewery’s different canned beers on Sunday.

out their less-than-conventional beers.

Next came the canning station. Before West Sixth’s canned beers (Amber Ale, IPA, Pay-It-Forward Cocoa Porter and Oktoberfest DankeChain) are canned, the machine blasts

the empty cans with carbon dioxide to clean them. Interestingly, the cans are actually the best storage method for beer because they prevent both light and oxygen from getting to the precious beverage and diminishing its quality. The brewery

produces about 35 kegs per batch in the taproom section, but double that in the canning section.

Our guide emphasized how important West Sixth’s work-

The rest of the tour highlighted several different busi-

nesses and organizations that share the 90,000 sq. foot building. West Sixth’s primary partner, Smithtown Seafood, the Broke Spoke bicycle repair shop, the Rollergirls of Central Kentucky and the FoodChain plantery all use different spaces in the building.

Over the course of the tour, people sampled some golden oldies and some shocking new favorites like the Snake Cake im-

All in all, the tour was magnificent: delicious beer, friendly workers, plenty of local pride and sustainability, and a professionally renovated facility to boot.

UK takes its 4-2 record to Starkville, Miss., this weekend to face the Mississippi State Bulldogs in its seventh game of the season. The team hopes to bounce back following a 30-27 loss at home to Auburn.

Mississippi State won its third consecutive home game following a 45-20 victory against Louisiana Tech, and hopes to add to that streak when the Cats come to town.

The Bulldog’s most dangerous weapon? Senior Quarterback Dak Prescott.

Prescott has had an impressive season as the SEC’s second-leading passer, with 1,700 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Prescott was a key player in the Bulldog’s game against Louisiana Tech last week, completing

those coming in SEC action.

Also look for sophomore Kaz Brown to be a factor on defense. The middle blocker is second in the conference in blocks and her steady performance all season has been a revelation for the Cats defense.

On offense, three UK players had double digit kills against Florida, including Anni Thomasson, Emily Franklin, and Darian Mack. Thomasson alone has been firing on all cylinders as of late. She is averaging over 13 points per game and has been the Cats leading scorer over the teams last three contests.

Despite Florida snapping the Cats’ nine-game winning streak, UK has a chance to redeem itself against Alabama on Friday, Oct. 23. The game starts at 8 p.m.

He knows what he is doing,” Stoops said. “We have to rise to the occasion and challenge these guys and make competitive plays.”

The UK men’s soccer team is back in action at 7 p.m. Saturday as it travels to Norfolk, Va., looking to stay undefeated in C-USA against No. 26 Old Dominion. The Cats are coming off a big conference win against South Carolina last weekend behind Callum Irving’s record setting shutout game. The defense has been clicking on all cylinders and will try to keep the momentum going against the Monarchs.

UK The Cats got a big win last weekend against a ranked South Carolina team who was undefeated in C-USA play.

The win instead kept UK undefeated in C-USA play, and allowed the team to regain momentum after the loss against Ohio State. Irving got his 23rd career clean sheet to become the all-time record holder at UK. In Saturday’s game against Old Dominion, look for UK to keep the defensive mentality going and try to get another clean sheet.

Player to Watch: Jordan Wilson The junior defender scored his first goal of the season this past Sunday in the 31st minute against South Carolina, which ended up being the game-win-

ning goal. He scored the goal off a free kick by heading it in, giving UK momentum, which carried on the rest of the game.

The defense has been playing great lately, with Jordan being one of the keys to success.

Look for Wilson to keep the defense playing well in this game and attack a little more after getting his first goal of the season last game.

Old Dominion Old Dominion is coming off a tough 2-1 loss to Florida International, which was just their second loss of the season and their first loss in C-USA play. Look for them to come out fired up and eager to get back on track in front of their home crowd. They have been

an offensive power averaging 15.8 shots per game, so they are going to attack the UK defense early and often.

Player to watch: David Macsicza The senior defender has scored in Old Dominion’s last two games, giving him a big confidence boost on the field.

The goals were his first of the season and though the last one came in a loss, look for him to still be energized at the beginning of the game. Old Dominion gets a lot of shots on goal, so watch for Macsicza to get his opportunities and keep his goal streak alive. The defense has been exponential for them this season, with Macsiza being an anchor.

No. 21 UK hopes to bounce back after its first Southeastern Conference loss against the No. 15 Florida Gators. The Cats are now 6-1 on SEC play, 13-6 on the season. The team travels this Friday to battle the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The match marks the second time the teams will compete this season, as UK beat Alabama in four sets on Oct. 4.

Alabama is 9-11 this season, and 3-3 in SEC play after breaking out with two of its top offensive performances of the season to win sets four and five against LSU. The 27-7 run closed out the five-set victory on the road Sunday afternoon.

The Cats’ defense will have to be on the lookout for Ala-

bama’s Kat Hudson and Krystal Rivers, who knocked down 21 kills in the team’s last game against LSU. Hudson and Rivers are one of the top offensive duos in the conference, both ranking inside the top ten in kills and points.

This should be no problem for UK sophomore Ashley Dusek after recently earning SEC Player of the Week and Defensive Player of the Week honors. Dusek put on an astounding, record-breaking performance on Friday, setting an all-time record for digs in a single match with 40 against the Auburn Tigers.

She is one of only six players to record 40 or more digs in a single match this season in NCAA Division I and the only one from a major conference to do so. Dusek leads UK in total digs with 356, 140 of

30 of 43 passes for 347 yards and added three more touchdowns to his record.

The Heisman trophy candidate’s performance throughout this season and last has caught the eyes of opposing coaches around the nation.

Head coach Mark Stoops, one of those coaches entranced by Prescott’s leadership, knows the team will have its hands full on Saturday.

“They are mature. They are physical and they have an unbelievable leader in their quarterback. (He is a) very talented player and a great leader,” Stoops said.

Prescott, who has yet to throw an interception on 225 passing attempts this season, has improved in his decisionmaking — a quality that has stood out above all other facets of his game.
