Bill would
increase
cigarette
tax to $1

By Jill Lester

jlaster@kykernel.com

A proposed law filed Friday
would raise the price of a pack of
cigarettes in Kentucky by 70 cents.

If passed by the General Assem—
bly and signed by the governor.
House Bill 443 would raise the ciga-
rette tax to SI. up from 30 cents. It
would also cause a rise in the price
of smokeless tobacco products that
has not yet been determined. said
state Rep. David Watkins. D~Hender--
son. who filed the bill.

Watkins said students at state
universities. which are facing 12 per—
cent cuts in the govemor‘s proposed
budget. should call or write their leg~
islators to advocate a cigarette tax in-
crease instead of higher tuition or
student fees.

“I think students should get up in
arms." Watkins said.

A tax increase of 70 cents per
pack would raise $200 million a year.
which would help relieve cuts to
higher-education funding. Watkins
said.

While there is no denying ciga~
rettes are unhealthy. Gov. Steve
Beshear would not support a ciga-
rette tax increase at any level. said
spokeswoman Vicki Glass yesterday.

"He believes Kentuckians are
taxed enough as it is." Glass said.

The tax increase will not pass
without the support of the governor.
said state Sen. Tom Buford. R-
Nicholasville

“Whether that‘s good policy or
not. i don't know." Buford said. “I
would support whatever would stop
otir young individuals from smoking."

Watkins called a cigarette tax in-
crease a “double whammy." raising
much-needed income for Kentucky

Rochester‘s Eastman School of Music.

ate degree. The program is now intema—

“We talk about AIDS. we talk

about all of these horrible diseases."

The music program is the first time
many of the students have had the
chance to learn music. But even for
those who have previous experience.

Watkins said. “Tobacco causes horri-
ble diseases."

Beyond the possibility of a veto
by the governor. Buford said impor-
tant Senate races going on through—
out the state could hinder the pro-
posed cigarette tax hike. A tax in—
crease might cause voters to change
their minds in a close Senate race. so
politicians may be unlikely to sup-
port it. he said.

Rep. Kathy Stein. D—Lexington.
said she supports an increase in the
cigarette tax. although she said $1
may be too high. A 70-ccnt increase is
just a preliminary figure. said Stein.
one of the bill‘s l3 co-sponsors.

“Your reach should always ex—
ceed your grasp." Stein said. “That‘s
what we have here."

On Tuesday. Beshear released his
proposed state budget for the 2008-
10 biennium. The budget projects a
$580 million drop in revenues in the
first year of the biennium. and a
$306 million drop the next.

if Beshear‘s budget were ap-
proved by the state legislature. fund-
ing for higher education would be

UK 63, GEORGIA 58

Hoops’ roster suffers another hit,
but UK knocks out Georgia on the road

By Travis Wa_ldr_on

Maldron@kykerne|.c_om

ATHENS. Ga. ~ First it was Jodie Meeks.
Then Ramel Bradley. And finally. Joe Crawford.

The list of scorers who weren't available
for head coach Billy Gillispie during Satur-
day‘s game against Georgia (ll-8. 2-4 South-
eastern Conference) kept growing. but the
Cats (IO—9. 4—2 Southeasteni Conference) still
pulled out their first road win of the season.
beating Georgia 63-58 at Stegeman Coliseum.

“lt was a really good win for us." Gillispie
said. "The way it happened, with all those
guys out. I thought our guys showed tremen—
dous courage."

It ended as an ugly win. and the UK injury
report may turn out even uglier.

Meeks. who has missed all but nine games
due to injury. limped through the pre-game
workouts and didn‘t play.

Bradley. who entered the game averaging
more than 40 minutes per game. played just
l l minutes. suffering a concussion and a bust-
ed chin in the first half. Bradley was leading a
fast break when he was knocked to the floor.
The senior guard watched the rest of the game
from the locker room.

And Crawford. who didn't play against
South Carolina because of a foot injury. suf-
fered through severe cramps in both legs
throughout the second half and didn‘t play the
final four minutes of the game.

”I‘d like to see what we could tum into
(if we were healthy) because they're fighting
through it and they don't let anything bother
them." Gillispie said. “I would really like to
see that happen. but if it doesn‘t happen. we‘ll
continue trying to make do."

Even without three of their four leading
scorers for much of the game. the Cats were
able to pull out their first road win of the sea-
son and their first SEC road victory since Feb.
3. 2007. snapping UGA‘s ll-game home win»
ning streak.

Crawford led all scorers with 26 points
and hit a career-high five 3-pointers in a gym
the senior has apparently taken a liking to.
Last season. Crawford scored 29 points in
UK‘s oveitime loss in Athens. Ga.

After Crawford‘s fifth 3—pointer. which
gave UK a 56-54 lead. the senior told
Gillispie he couldn‘t go on. Trainers fervently
massaged both of his calves as Crawford
chugged Gatorade and yelled in pain. and
when Gillispie tumed to ask if he could play.
Crawford shook his head.

“He was great today." Gillispie said. “He
was fantastic. All of the shots he made were
so timely. I would like to see him get back
healthy. [I was absolutely the best I‘ve seen
him play."

Senior tiard Joe Crawford drives Jast Geor !a i uard ‘oioy Butler iliirint Satiirdav 5 6368 Win in
. 3 .

Athens, Ga

Without Bradley and Crawford. the Cats
leaned heavily on freshman forward Patrick
Patterson. who finished with lo points. and an
unlikely hero in sophomore forward Ramon
Harris.

Harris scored a career—high nine points. iii-
cluding a backdoor layup that pushed the [K
lead to 58—54 with 3:38 to play‘.

"Best game that I've ever seen him play.
no question.” Gillispie said. “He was good of-
fensively. and he was better defensiyely than
he has been."

Patterson sealed the game with a dunk off

a lob from sophomore guard Derrick Jasper
with 57 seconds left in the game. the fourth
such dunk of the gantc for Patterson.

Patterson walked off the court as one of
the few healthy players in blue. and after the
game. he said the \ictoiy was another "confi-
deiicc boost" for the Cats. especially since l’ls’
won without three key players.

“We want to win with cyery'body. but we
can win with nobody." Patterson said. “We
don‘t rely on one play er. We haye role players
on the team that can step up anytime. They
play ed our hearts out there."

 

Injuries not
enough to stop
‘determined’ Cats

ATHENS. Ga. »—— With 8:44 left in the first half of
UK‘s game against Georgia. Ramel Bradley went flying
to the floor after getting tangled up with the Bulldogs‘
Dave Bliss.

The foul sent Bradley to the
locker room with a gash on his chin
and a concussion. But. naturally.
Bradley wanted to go back in the
game.

To assess the health of UK's
iron-man guard. the trainers asked
Bradley to recite the months of the
year in reverse order. That’s not
quite as hard as turning an about-
face on the alphabet. but it proved
too rough for “Smooth."

“He got mixed up." head coach
Billy Gillispie told a group of re-
porters after the game that left them.
like the fall left Bradley. in stitches.

Bradley wouldn‘t re—enter the game. He came out
onto the court to start the second half. but he wasn‘t
healthy enough to play. He played only 1 l minutes.

Bradley's absence wasn‘t the only problem the Cats
had to overcome Saturday. UK had to withstand an in-
jury to senior guard Joe Crawford and had to get over
the mental hump of winning its first road game of the
season.

The Cats did all that Saturday. beating Georgia 63—58.
and in the process appeared to give UK fans something to
think about for the team‘s final It) games: What can't UK
do the rest of the season?

If you would have told any UK follower before the
game that Bradley would only play ll minutes. no one in
their right mind would have predicted a Cats win.

In the six games leading into the Georgia game.
Bradley had sat out only one minute. Keep in mind that
two of those games went into overtime too.

Against Georgia. he was effective once again. dishing
out three assists. but he didn‘t score.

Bradley‘s injury seemed to severely deplete the Cats.
C rawford's cramps seemed to doom them.

Crawford didn’t practice Monday. Tuesday or
Wednesday of last week. and he didn’t practice between
the Tennessee and South Carolina games. He even missed
the USC game because of the lingering plantar fasciitis
injury in his foot. Crawford was already beat up going
into the game. then the cramps came in the second half.

Crawford went out of the game with 4:38 left and
didn't retum. He was in complete control during the
game. scoring 26 points. What‘s more. he didn‘t force the
action like he‘s done so many times in the past.

So how did UK do it in the last five minutes without
their two senior leaders?

One reason was because of the great ieserye play
from Derrick Jasper and Michael Porter. They only
scored a combined six points in 53 minutes of play. but
they had just two turnoyers, That number is much more
important.

Ramon Harris was also great for l'K. He had by far
his best game as a Cat. He scored nine points. and his

Collegiate competitions are different than tradi-

draw at random from a bingo machine to find out
which horse they will ride for their class. Riders are
judged on how they look when riding. how well they
handle their horses. and how the horse reacts to the
