More than a year ago. 33 people
died in a massacre at Virginia Tech.
The same day. UK‘s director of emer-
gency management said UK was
looking into the best way to handle a
lockdown or evacuation. but “there‘s
just nothing solid in place."

Yesterday. after Western Ken-
tucky University issued a lockdown
following a 911 call reporting shots
fired on campus. UK officials said the
plan still is not complete.

Emergency Management Director
Christy Giles said UK lacks a build-
ing emergency action plan for 90 per-
cent of the buildings on campus. Such
a plan would be used during an on—
campus emergency such as a shoot-

ing. dangerous weather or other
threats.

Anthany Beatty. assistant vice
president for campus services, said
the university will have a plan in
place for all of campus by this time
next year. He said he is confident the
university can handle a threat on cam-
pus by police locking down buildings
and using the UK Alert system.

UK Alert sends text messages. e-
mails. voicemails and other electronic
messages to those signed up whenev-
er an emergency occurs on campus.
The system will be the best way for
people to receive notice and act ap-
propriately. Beatty said.

However. he said. the system de-
pends on the people in it. and UK
needs help recruiting more users.

“It‘s only as functional and only

as good as getting as many people in
the system as we can." he said.

UK Alert has about I l .600 people
signed up for the system. about 5.300
of who are registered as students.
Giles said. About 26.650 students are
currently enrolled at UK.

The system has been used four
times since it began accepting sign-
ups in January — three times for
weather and once when shots were
fired at the Greg Page Apartments in
February.

UK was unable to test the system
before it was first used during a toma—
do wamrng at the beginning of Febru-
ary. which came just as her office was
getting people to sign up. Giles said.

Other than those four incidents.

UK Hospital flight crew looks past the dangers

_. but (crashes) still happen.”

Above the hum of helicopter blades.
two neonatal nurses from UK Hospital
listen as a voice tells them about the
status of a patient. A two—week-old
baby lies in an emergency room in Lon-
don. Ky.. suffering from hypothermia
and respiratory failure.

in just over 20 minutes. the nurses
are there. As they treat the baby boy.
they move quickly and calmly. It is al-
most impossible to notice by the nurs-
es” reactions that the child codes and is
technically dead. The neonatal nurses
bring him back. and soon he is in the
helicopter making his way to the pedi-
atric intensive care unit at UK Hospital.

The call is just one part of the day
for the flight paramedics and nurses at

a

UK. Working 24—hour shifts. they wait
for the next call. which will send the
team back to the helicopter. into the air
and to the next victim that needs med—
ical help faster than an ambulance can
provide.

But working in medical flights is a
job that raises questions about the risks
of transporting patients by air. There
have been 11 crashes involving medical
helicopters this year. nine of which
have been fatal. according to the Na»
tional Transportation Safety Board. The
most recent occurred on Oct. [6 in llli-
nois; all passengers on board. including
a 1-year-old girl. were killed.

Alcohol. Cocaine. Ecstasy. Idol's Nikki McKibbin details her
struggle with substance abuse and how she's recovering

Six years ago. on the first
season of Fox‘s American
Idol. Nikki McKibbin wowed
It) million viewers a week
with her take on hits like la—
nis loplm‘s "Piece of My
Heart." And though the
flame—haired rocker. now 30,
raised eyebroWs when her
history as a stripper came to
light. it didn‘t stop the single
mom to sort Tristen. now 10.
from finishing third behind
Justin Guarini and Kelly
Clarkson or landing an RCA
contract. But McKibbin was
hiding a more shocking se-
cret: the Arlington. Texas. na-
tive. who was abused as a
child by a relative and mo-
lested by two different family
acquaintances. had been an
alcoholic since age 16. Fol»
lowing her return to Texas
post-Idol and the breakup of
her deal with RCA. the sing-
er began a downward spiral
of booze and cocaine use.
culminating in her stay in a
psychiatric ward following
the 2007 death of her mother.
Teresa. with whom McKibbin
had been doing cocaine hours
earlier. McKibbin is at last
sober after being treated on
the second season of VHl‘s
Celebrity Rehab with Dr
Drew. McKibbin opens up to
Us:

I think I must have been
Inu‘dwired for addiction from
the beginning. My mom and
dad divorced when I was 13.
My dad was a drug addict
and alcoholic. but I never saw
him use. He's been cleart and
sober for 18 years now. I
don‘t know when my mom
picked up her habit. I was 16

when I had my first drink at a
party. My boyfriend brought
a 32-ounce screwdriver. but I
ended up drinking the whole
damn thing. By the end of the
night. I was sitting in the
street singing a song from
kindergarten. I don‘t remem-
ber a time when I didn‘t drink
after that — except when I
was expecting Tristen. I did-
n’t even smoke when I was
pregnant! By the time I was
21. I started stripping. It was
fun for a while. I am an enter-
tainer; that is what I do. And
if I was working. I was drink~
ing. Back in high school. I
had tried pot and acid. but
soon I tried Ecstasy and
quickly became addicted. I
was stripping to support my
habit. Between myself and
two others. we were spending
almost a thousand dollars a
day. Everything that didn't
have to pay bills was going
toward Ecstasy.

I would drive home drunk
too; I don't know how I never
got pulled over. One day my
cousin looked at me and said.
“You have to stop." I loved
her and trusted what she was
saying. so I never touched
Ecstasy again. (The drinking
continued.) I stopped strip-
ping and started working for
a karaoke company. which
was just as bad because I was
still in bars.

I heard about American
Idol on a Friday (in 2002).
auditioned on Saturday and
made it to Hollywood. I was
so ecstatic to be given the op-
portunity to live out my
dreams. We were heavily
chaperoned. but I would buy

vodka and sneak it into the
refrigerator on the bottom
floor. If I wasn’t too exhaust-
ed. I would have one or two
drinks.

I came out of Idol with a
lack of self-confidence. I
think I had my first solo in
school when I was 5. and I
got more as I got older:
That‘s the biggest compli-
ment in choir. I had never
been told I wasn‘t good
enough. Having to hear it for
so many weeks from Simon
Cowell killed me inside. I
couldn‘t get the s —- t he had
said to the out of my head. It
drove me deeper into depres-
sion. I wouldn't say that this
was Simon's fault. It just
added to the addict that I al»
ready was.

After Idol. I went back to
Texas and the karaoke busi-
ness. When I was 25. I was
buying pot for somebody. and
the dealer gave me a bag of
cocaine. I wanted to try a lit-
tle. so I went to my mom
She‘s my best friend ~- I
don‘t keep anything from her.
My mom always said. "If you
want to try it. try it with me.
Just don’t make a habit out of
it." I liked the way cocaine
made my mind race so fast
that I didn‘t have to think. It
went out of control from
there. I was doing it every
day. In less than a year and a
half. I went through $250000

Band deserves a listen for
lacking pop-punk prototype

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I
am extremely excited about the release
of Tom (label's “Heart Burns" EP on
Nov. 28. In honor of
his new record. I
have decided to
share my love for
his band. Tom is the
lead vocalist for
Against Mel. an
awesome punk rock
band from Florida.
Their punk sound is
definitely not of the
pop—punk persua-
sion. which many
hands now use as a
prototype. Their
vibe is closer to that of the hardcore
punk bands of the 1980s ala Black Flag
or the Dead Kennedys with the lyrical
prowess of a folk singer.

The band was started by Gabel in
1996 and consisted only of him singing
and playing acoustic guitar. During this
time, he would normally perform alone

 

columnist

bassist and/or drummer. These early
songs were much closer to the folk side
of music than the punk. Songs from
this period were recorded on a self-
made demo simply titled "Against
Mel." though it is more commonly
known as "Tom's First Demo."

By 2002. Tom had solidified the
band's lineup adding bassist Dustin
Fridkin. drummer Warren Oakes. and
guitarist James Bowman. Also that year
the group released their first full—length
studio album. "Reinventing Axel Rose."
At this point. Against Mel‘s sound was
starting to shape into what we hear to-
day. While there were still some appear-
ances of their acoustic past. the album
is filled heavily with electric guitars.

After the release of "Reinventing
Axel Rose." Fridkin left the band and
was replaced with bassist Andrew Se-
ward. The band‘s lineup has not
changed since. With their next two
records. “As the Eternal Cowboy" in
2003 and “Search for a Former Clarity"
in 2005. Against Me! found their rock-
ing sound and have stuck with it since.

Though beginning with these albums
some fans complained the band had be-
come too polished and had lost their do«
it-yourself ethics. -

Last year the band released their
major label debut. "New Wave." which
received great critical review. The band
chose to work with producer Butch
Vig, who also produced Nirvana‘s
"Nevermind." He was able to capture
their sound in a way that can only be
described as magical. When listening
to the album. you may notice there is
basically no low points; the songs are
consistently good through the entire
work.

If you dig punk rock but have never
experienced Against Me!. you should
probably give the band a listen because
you will not be disappointed. Even if
you‘re not a fan of punk. you should
still check them out because their songs
translate well to any one.

singing his harsh style for the band for nearly three
decades. That isn't to suggest his voice has gotten
worse. but instead that it has simply changed. It is
reminiscent of Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s John
Fogeny. simply a deeper toned growl than in the past.
But the change of voice is only occasional throughout
the course of the album. and most likely it will go rel-
atively unnoticed.

Blues has clearly become a more prevalent influ-
ence on guitarist Angus Young‘s writing. Perhaps it is
to help mould more smoothly with Johnson‘s deepen-
ing voice. Whatever the cause. it certainly comple-
ments the album much more than it hinders it.

If you've liked any album AC/DC has released in
the past. particularly in the Brian Johnson era. this is
an album you certainly don't want to pass up. Don‘t
fix what isn‘t broken. It's a motto AC/DC has shown

the practice is more difficult
than simply sitting down.

UK ALERT

she said. the system has never been used for a
campus-wide test. It has only been tested in
small groups of fewer than 30 people.

UK has not tested the alert system be-
tween the last use during the spring semester
and now because the system‘s response dur-
ing the four incidents helped ensure it was do-
ing what it was supposed to do and helped
identify things that needed to be improved.
Giles said.

Also. the university leaves most of the up-
dates to the contracting firm responsible for
maintaining UK Alert. she said.

In the second use of the spring semester,
during the Greg Page incident. students expe-
rienced delays as long as five hours before re-
ceiving the message. Giles said some delay is
possible. through no fault of the university.

“l can't control how fast it gets to anybody
once I hit ‘send.’ “ Giles said. “How fast it gets
there through individual carriers is out of our
hands."

During an emergency. such as someone
entering campus with a gun. the police dis-
patcher would issue the UK Alert. said Maj.
Joe Monroe. UK‘s interim police chief.

The system is used only for emergencies
considered an imminent threat —- for instance.
UK did not issue an alert for a reported victim
of sexual assault near Waller Avenue on Eliza—
beth Street who was abducted and t
