Car hits pedestrian; police aim to prevent more accidents

Third pedestrian-related accident is reported this week

and UK Police have a new plan to combat problem

By Ben Fir
STAFF WRITER

An accident left a woman
with injuries to her shoulders,
back and neck Wednesday
morning when a car hit her.
UK Police said.

The woman tried crossing
at Rose Street and Washington
Avenue, but walked in the
crosswalk when she didn‘t

have the signal. police said.

A car driven by a UK stu-
dent struck her. in what is the
third pedestrian-related acci-
dent this semester around UK.

No one was charged in the
accident.

So many accidents in
such a short period of time
are forcing UK Police to start a
new campaign aimed at both
drivers and pedestrians.

Extra officers will watch
for red light runners, Speeders
and those who don't yield to
pedestrians. as well as for jay-
walkers. the department an-
nounced yesterday.

“We don‘t want to give
people the impression that
this is a campaign against mo
torists.“ said Cmdr. Travis
Manley of UK Police Commu-
nications and Information Ser-
vices. “It will deal with pedes-
trians as well.“

The new campaign will

not only crack down on traffic
violators but will also attempt
to educate them.

When officers witness a
violation by a driver or pedes-
trian, they will talk to them
and give them material on
safety information and acci-
dent statistics, Manley said.

Sometimes that informa-
tion will also come with a writ-
ten warning or even a ticket.

“It’s officer discretion
whether or not a citation is
given," Manley said. “It‘s un-

likely a citation will be given
to (pedestrians). It's more of
an educational campaign with
them.”

The officers put on traffic
duty for the new campaign
will be added to the regular pa-
trol officers.

“There will be one or two
extra people working a few ex-
tra hours each“ day doing noth-
ing but traffic." Manley said.

But normal patrol oflicers
will still watch traffic, includ-

said.

Adopt-A-Cop, UK’s safety
program for students in rest—
dence halls, will also help edu-
cate people about traffic laws.

Neither of the women in—
volved in Wednesday’s acci-
dent could be reached for com-
ment.

For the new campaign,
UK Police have their work cut
out for them, some students
said.

SafeCats program available
but rarely used by students

B_y Laura Bogenschutz
STAFF WRITER

It‘s one of the last
things students pass as they
leave the library, but it's
hardly ever noticed.

Yet SafeCats is meant
for the students.

Sitting behind a table
by the Hilltop Avenue exit.
a UK Air Force cadet does
his homework, waiting for
someone to utilize SafeCats,
a free student escort ser-
vice.

“I never even knew who
these people sitting there
were," said Katy Evans, a

iology sophomore and li-
brary patron.

On average, five people
take advantage of the ser-
vice a night, although it
runs during the library‘s
busy late—night hours.

from 8:30 pm. to 1:30
am. Sunday through Thurs-
day rights. the cadets of UK
Air Force Detachment 290
don their yellow SafeCats‘
jackets, hoping for a diver-
sion from their homework.

Even with few students
using the service. SafeCats
make sure there are escorts
available. No matter how
many students use the ser-
vice. the nights can be long.

8 p.m.: Three cadets be-
gin their night with a stop
at Barker Hall to pick up ra-
dios and to receive instruc-
tions for the evening ahead.

A dispatcher is sta-
tioned at Barker Hall to re-
ceive requests for escorts,
one cadet will head over to
WT. Young Library and the
third will escort students
from Blazer Hall on North
Campus.

They represent the 110
cadets of the Air Force
ROTC that make up Safe-
Cats, a program funded by
Student Government.

8:25 p.m.: The library
escort arrives and sets up
his table by the security
desk.

A large board is placed
next to his table detailing
SafeCats' time and loca-
tions.

The library is relatively
empty because it is so early
in the semester.

The wait begins.

9:30 p.m.: The escort
has received no calls for es-
corts. He is, however. mak-

ing progress on his home-
work.

“Sometimes I only es~
cort two students a night.“
said Cadet Greg Wacks.

Many students are un-
aware that SafeCats even
exists.

“I think that before this
year, there was a problem
with student awareness,"
said Cadet Ashley Day-
Haynes. wing commander
of the Air Force ROTC.

She is a student at East-
ern Kentucky University.

Cadets from UK, EKU.
Transylvania University.
Centre College, Kentucky
State University and
Georgetown College make
up Detachment 290.

10:17 p.m.: The cadet

receives his first call from
the dispatcher to pick up a
female from K-lot.

He drops her off at Kir-
wan III and heads back to
the library

Forty minutes later. an-
other female needs an es-
cort from K-lot to Kirwan II.

SafeCats will pick up
any student. male or fe-
male. for no charge.

wherever you're at on cam-
pus,“ Wacks said

Every cadet in Detach-

The cadets receive
312.500 per year from SC to
run the service, and SG
maintains that SafeCats is
an important service for
students.

"It's very important be-
cause students come to UK

City holds its breath
as ban starts Monday

 

mm mun! mm STAFF

John Walters, plaintlfl representative, fields questions about an
emergency injunction against a cigarette ban that was overruled
Tuesday. The ban will take effect on September 29th.

BySalyOdres

STAFF WRITER

The big day is near.

On Monday. Sept. 29 the smoking ban will take affect.

Last spring many meetings were held to toss around the
idea of a smoking ban. On ‘July 1 the Lexington-Fayette Ur-
ban County Government passed an ordinance making all
places open to the public smokefree.

“We are not telling people they can't smoke. We are
telling people they can't harm others," said Ellen Hahn, an as-
sociate professor in the College of Nursing and advocate for
the ban.

Hahn said the reason behind the law protects workers,
not patrons. “People who work in restaurants and bars are
two to six times more likely to develop heart and lung disease
than other workers. It is estimated that 62,000 deaths a year
occur from secondhand smoke in nonsmokers," Hahn said.
The reception of a smoking ban fluctuates with the person.

“I really like the idea (of a smoking ban)," said Erin He
witt, an employee at Kitty O‘Sheas and a French language
and literature senior. “I don't smoke. As a student I don’t
think there are other jobs I can get that will pay the bills right
now."

According to Hewitt. several customers have agreed.

“It's not going to stop them from coming,“ Hewitt said.
“They like the atmosphere and like coming out."

Rob Ramsey. owner of Ramsey’s, does not deny the nega-
tive affects of secondhand smoke. but he said business own-
ers should have the individual right to decide if their busi-
nesses need to be smokefree.

“Our rights are slowly being taken away" Ramsey said.
“For the city to tell me what I can and cannot offer are against
my rights. We have to wear seat belts and wear bicycle hel-
mets. At what point is the government going to stop telling
me what I can and cannot do?"

Three of Ramsey's five restaurants are smokefree.

“I felt like I could better supply the product to the cus
tomers,“ he said. “It is up to the businessman how he pre-
sents his product based on clientele. I went so far as to let my
employees switch to the nonsmoking restaurants if they
chose to. and no one wanted to."

A smokefnee policy attracted more business and revenue
to restaurants than it drove away said a study conducted at
Cornell University. After New York implemented the Smoke
Free Air Action law, the study looked at how dining habits
and spending patterns changed in the four months after the
smoking ban took affect. The study reported that non-smoke
ers started eating out more, which made up for the low profits
caused by smokers not eating out as often.

This echoed a UK released Monday. which predicted busi-
ness won‘t be lost due to the ban.

There are already smoke-free laws in 2,000 areas in the

Study: Ky. campaign finance disclosure system ranks high nationally

ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRANKFURT. Ky.
While Kentucky has one of
the strongest campaign fi-
nance disclosure laws in the
country, its online reporting
could be improved. according
to a new study.

Overall. Kentucky's disclo
sure system for money flowing
in and out of political cam-
paigns ranked 13th in the na-
tion. according to the Cam-
paign Disclosure Project. Ken-
tucky received a final grade of

“—."C but scoped high marks
for the frequency and scope of
what politicians must report.

Even though some states
ranked higher than others. the
overall quality of campaign fi-
nance disclosure in the coun-
try is still relatively low. said
Rachel Zenner, program direc-
tor at the California Voter
Foundation based in Davis.
Calif.

“Kentucky is a prime ex-
ample of a state ranking very
high in the country. but then

their grade of a C- shows they
have room to improve." Zen-
ner said. The state of Wash-
ington topped the list with an
overall grade of ‘.‘A-" while
Wyoming finished last. But 33
states scored a “D" or lower.
according to the study

Of its bordering states,
Kentucky finished third be
hind Illinois and Ohio. which
came in second and fourth in
the nation respectively. The
study was a collaboration by
the University of California-

Los Angeles’ school of law. the
Center for Governmental
Studies and the California Vot-
er Foundation. The project
was funded by a grant from
The Pew Charitable Trusts.

The Web site adminis-
tered by the Kentucky Reg»
istry of Election Finance
scored low marks because it
was not easily accessed from
the state's main Web page. ac-
cording to the study: Also. the
Web site‘s “contextual usabili-
ty“ was graded poor.

“Jaywalking has been a

Deval Bhatt. a biology ju-

day to get to her classes.

But waiting for a walking
cue isn't as easy as it sounds.

“It‘s not practical when
you‘re late to class.“ she said.
“It's hard to wait for the sig~

nal. Cars also need to slow
down. They go faster than 25
miles an hour when there‘s no
traffic."

Manley added that cam-
pus has seen an increase in ac-
cidents within the last three or
four years.

Three or four years ago.
the federal government funded

a highway safety campaign.
which put more UK Police offi-

“I didn’t really feel un-

Carlin said he under-

“Especially me. with a

“With everything that

Watts said. “People realize
safety is important."

The UK Police Depart-
ment supports SafeCats but
realizes it is not frequently
used.

“We think any program
is a deterrent to crime so
long as people take advan-
tage of it.“ said Cmdr.
Travis Manley with UK Po-

“Air Force cadets are

The cadets from the li-

This is about the aver-

United States. Hahn said.

Lexington will be the first
city in Kentucky to implement
the smoking ban. Louisville.
Richmond and Mount Sterling
are also considering similar
bans.

“Most of us are opposed
to it because it will hurt busi-
ness." said John Tresaloni.
owner of the Fish Tank Bar
and Grill. "I'm sure we will
have to ask people to stop
smoking.“ 'I‘resaloni said he is
afraid people will put out ciga-
rettes on the floor because all
ashtrays will have to be re-
moved.

“It's going to be more of a
pain in the butt than any
thing." he said. “I bartend so
i am going to have to deal with
it tnore than most bar own-
ers.

Will] the but

“It is really rather sim-
ple." Hahn said. “You don‘t
light up inside."

Business owners must re
move all ashtrays and post
“No Smoking" signs at all pub
lic entrances. The signs must
either contain a three-inch-
high international “No Smok-
ing" symbol or have one-inch
letters that proclaim “No
Smoking." Any permanent
structure that functioned as
an ashtray cannot be used as
an ashtray anymore. These
structures should be removed.

The Lexington-Fayette
County Health Department.
the Lexington-Fayette Urban
County Government and Blue
grass ACTION Coalition have
put together kits to help busi-
ness owners prepare for the
new ordinance. In the kit are

no smoking decals. informa-
tive brochures about the ordi-
nance, a laminated fact sheet
for employees and a list of fre
quently asked questions.

“Smokers wishing to quit
need support." said the new
brochure that will be handed
to people upon request. “It
takes planning. preparation
and practice to stop smoking."

For information on class-
es. self-help materials and ap
propriate smoking cessation
Web sites. contact the Lexing-
ton-Fayette County Health De
partment at (859) 288-2457.

The Bluegrass ACTION
Coalition created an informa-
tive Web site that explains why
Lexington should be smoke
free. the rules of the smoking
ban and the economic impact
of the smoking ban. The site
said secondhand smoke in-
creases the nonsmoker‘s risk
of lung cancer. heart disease.
asthma. allergies and bronchi-
t'Ls.

It also mentions that sec-
ondhand smoke can harm
children. causing middle ear
problems, lung disease and
pneumonia. For more infor-
mation. visit www.blue-
grasssmokefreecom.

“Smoking is the single
most risk factor for diseases
and the single most pre-
ventable cause of death in our
country.“ Hahn said.

“College students are the
new target audience for tobac-
co advertising." she said. “Col-
lege students don't realize how
addictive and how harmful
cigarettes are.‘

Violations

“These laws are primarily
selfenforcing and complaint
driven. There won't be smok-
ing police running around
Lexington.“ Hahn said.

It is a violation to smoke
in any prohibited area. It is a

violation for employees, own-
ers or managers to permit
smoking in those prohibited
areas. It is also a violation if

“A cigarette is a toxic
waste dump on fire." said
Hahn. Hahn says secondhand
smoke contains 4.000 chemi-
cals including lead, nickel and
arsenic.

Sixty-seven of those
chemicals are known haz-
ardous pollutants regulated by
the government.

There is always hope for
quitting, however.

“They say the average per-
son will try to quit seven be-
fore they finally quit. Ever. if
you have a setback. you can
try again to quit smoking."
said Glenna Hatcher.

Employees at the Markey
Cancer Center offer help to
people trying to quit smoking.
The Cooper Clayton method is
a 13week program where peo
ple attend a class once a week
for an hour. The program is
free and has a 40 percent suc-
cess rate.

If a smoker is intimidated
by a group setting. then the
hotline of the National Cancer
Institute may be a practical al-
ternative. Call 1-87744U-QUIT.

“Quitting smoking is a
scary thing. One lady said it
was like losing her best friend.
Cigarettes had always been
there for her." Hatcher said.

Grilling gator off the field

Tastes like chicken: Different recipes and tastes
allow for a variety of alligator specialties

ByLiulseylleftlI

STAFF WRITER

As the Gators slink into
town to take on our Wildcats.
cooking them both in and out-
side Commonwealth Stadium
and never seemed so possible.

The gator is the mascot
for the visiting University of
Florida football team. Florida
is the football team's hopeful
lunch on Saturday afternoon
1, and maybe your next great
meal.

Substitute alligator in
any recipe made with veal.
Chicken or seafood because of
their comparable taste. sug-
gests the Web site for
Louisiana Fur and Alligator
Advisory Council (wwwalli-
gatorfurcom). It also offers a
wide variety of recipes rang-
ing from soups to burgers.
and more recipes can be
found on the Web site.

Alligator meat can be
cooked several different ways.
much like chicken or almost
all seafood. said one local
restaurant owner.

“Cook it (alligator) a long
time and then brown it with a
tomato on the side and a little
fried gator to complement it,
or you can cook the actual al-
ligator ribs. where you just
grill them." said Tommy Wal-
ters. owner of Furlongs
restaurant in Lexington. Wal-

' ters said the restaurant also

serves the dish bite-sized and
even barbecues it.

Furlongs serves alligator
as a seasonal special. only
during the autumn months.

No matter how you eat al-
ligator. it almost always
comes down to taste. on
which people have mixed
opinions.

“It has a very mild taste.
it tastes like a fishy chicken.“
said Walters.

Jim McGraw. a finance
senior. agrees with Walters af
ter tasting gator last year. “It
was like chicken, but chewy
and tough." McGraw said. “I
liked it. though." He said he
just grilled the alligator like
any other meat.

Not all alligator tasted
like chicken.

“It tasted like snapper. It
was just a fishy type of taste.“
said Adam Atcher. a kinesiol-
ogy and health promotion se-
nior. Atcher added that his
fried alligator was tender and
a little flaky

Alligator is actually a
healthier alternative to many
meats. A fourcunce serving
has 110 calories, two grams of
fat and no carbohydrates.

Tasting alligator is easier
than one might think. It can
be purchased off the Internet
or at most local meat markets.

Alligator can cost as little
as $3.25 for lower choice cuts
