UK Police officer charged with sexual abuse

Officer has worked at UK since 1997, on leave
at time of arrest; official says incident not UK-reiated

By Ben Fain
STAFF WRITER

A UK Police officer was
charged with three counts of
first-degree sexual
Monday afternoon.

Officer Hugh Donovan
Turner, 34, was arrested on
Wilson Downing Road after an

abuse ‘

investigation by the Lexing-
ton Police, said Lt. Kelli Ed-
{yards with the Lexington Po-
ice.

Edwards did not know the
victim or victims‘ ages, sex or
relation to Turner.

First—degree sexual abuse
is a Class D felony, which car-
ries a sentence of one to five

Celebrating 32 years of independence

years in prison. If found
guilty, Turner could face up to
15 years in prison.

Turner served as a UK Po-
lice patrol officer from Sep-
tember 1997 until April 29 of
this year, when he took an un-
paid leave of absence from his
$26,520-a-year job.

UK officials said his leave
had nothing to do with the
sexual abuse charges or any
sort of misconduct but would
not elaborate.

“The situation with Offi-
cer Turner is not related to
the UK community and in no
way jeopardizes the safety of
our students, faculty or staff,”
said Mary Margaret Colliver,
director of UK Public Rela-
tions.

Turner could not be
reached for comment.

The university declined to
give information on Turner’s
background with the force or
where and which shifts he

worked while patrolling cam-
pus.

Colliver said it is univer-
sity policy to not comment on
pending investigations.

A police report was not
available Monday night but
should be available this morn-
ing, said court employees.

Turner is one of 36 sworn
police officers and one of 26
patrol officers.

State tuition program self-sufficient

Program helps more than 7.000 students keep
college tuition from increasing throughout the years

ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRANKFORT, Ky —— If
Kentucky's Affordable Pre-
paid Tuition program re—
mains as is, it may have to
dip into its reserve funds
but would remain self-suf-
ficient, program adminis-
trators said Monday.

The program — which
allows enrollees to lock in
future college tuition costs
at current prices —— would
not need additional money
from the state’s general
fund, Jo Carole Ellis,
KAPT executive director.
said.

Currently. the KAPT
program is backed up by
the state’s unclaimed prop-
erty fund. If the program
remains as it is now, it
should cover its own ex-
penses, Ellis told a legisla-

tive subcommittee on post-
secondary education.
“Right now we have
more in the reserve than
we have in actuarial
deficit," Ellis said.

Right now, the KAPT
program has more than
7,000 prepaid tuition ac-
counts.

The General Assembly,
which created the plan in
2000, as part of the current
state budget approved a
moratorium on any new
accounts. The moratorium
expires at the end of June
2004.

If lawmakers tapped
KAPT‘s reserve fund for
other purposes. the first
deficit would show around
2021, Ellis said. But, if the
reserve stayed in place, the
money in it would be

enough to cover costs, she
said.

And, if the program
were to start accepting
new accounts, it would still
have enough money to cov-
er itself. Ellis said.

For further insurance,
the state could begin
charging 5-percent to 10-
percent premiums on new
accounts, Ellis told the
committee.

“The premiums are not
a preferred option," Ellis
said. “There are a lot of av-
enues available to us.”

The program could
have a $12.8 million actuar-
ial deficit in 2021, said
Steve Rowland, a financial
consultant to the un-
claimed property fund.
That could translate to
about $13.7 million by 2021.
while its reserves by that
time are expected to be
about $75 million. Rowland
said. M”

“It never is at risk of
running a deficit. The pro-
gram is fiscally sound.“
Rowland said. “Ideally you
would want the program
income to support it out-
side of the reserve, howev-
er the reserve fund is there
for a reason."

Joe McCormick, execu-
tive director of the Ken-
tucky Higher Education
Assistance Authority, said
he thought the program
would be “manageable,"
and not a problem if the
reserve fund stays intact.

“What you do to man-
age the deficit is the key,"
McCormick said. “And
that‘s where the reserve
fund comes in, that‘s where
the will of the legislature
to protect that reserve to
apply to those future
deficits comes in. And if
those things are in place.
it‘s a manageable pro-
gram."

 

Newman Center, Habitat
team up to build house

UK students volunteer time to construct
one-story house for Lexington mother of three

him-kimono

CONIRIIIIINGWRITIR

They came to sweat.

They came to hammer.

They came to build.

The Newman Center, a long-term participant for
Lexington Habitat for Humanity, started their 12th
annual build last Friday and Saturday

For the past two days, dozens of UK student vol-
unteers worked on the framing of a new house, set-
ting up the walls and building the porch.

“It's a lot of fun. It’s nice
to see everybody interacting
together," said Brad Presley, a
psychology senior who has
been actively participating in
the Catholic Newman Center’s
Habitat projects.

The one-story, four-bed-
room house construction will
continue every Friday and Sat-
urday through Oct. 18 at 501
Breckenridge Street down-
town.

Volunteers will work from
8 am. to 5 pm.

About 100 people are ex-
pected to join the building dur-
ing the six-week session.

Kevin Steele, minister to
students of the Newman Cen-
ter, said students and staff are
welcome to help build this
house.

Steele said the project at-
tracts a diverse group of vol- are
unteers.

“Standing on the roof of numer-
the house last year and ham- ,,
mering together were students 0118.
from Africa, Latin America,
Europe, North America, in-
cluding graduate and under-
graduate students and facul-
ty," he said.

The Newman Center isn't
the only campus group that
has built Habitat homes Some
UK students volunteered for
another partner family this
summer through St. Augustine Chapel in May and
June. With students’ labors, Lexington Episcopal
churches dedicated a home at 1720 Gerald Dr. to a
mother of four sons, the eldest with a mental illness.

The Newman Center has participamd in the pro-
ject since 1991.

As a partner of the Lexington Catholic churches,
which sponsors a house a year for the Habitat, the on-
campus ministry has provided students laborers.

This year the churches will contribute about
$40,000 for the new house. It will be 205th Habitat
home built in Lexington.

The LHH builds about 15 to 20 homes in Fayette
County each year with the help of sponsors like the
Catholic churches.

The house currently underway belongs to 8h-
erylena Burnett, a 32-year-old single mother: She hae-
lived in a Housing Authority apartment with her

partment at Samaritan Hospital for the last 10 years.

The Low-down

Online music traders being sued

WASHINGTON —- The music industry's
largest trade group filed 261 copyright law-
suits across the country Monday against In-
ternet users who trade songs online. an ag-
gressive campaign to discourage piracy
through fears of expensive civil penalties or
settlements.

The Recording Industry Association of
America warned it ultimately may file thou-
sands of cases. Its first round was aimed at
what it described as "major offenders" ille-
gally distributing on average more than
1.000 copyrighted music files each.

Durwood Pickle. 71. of Richardson.
Texas. said his teenage grandchildren
downloaded music onto his computer dur-
ing their visits to his home. He said his
grown son had explained the situation in an
e-mail to the recording industry association.

“I didn‘t do it. and I don't feel like I‘m
responsible." Pickle said. “It‘s been stopped
now. I guarantee you that.“

An estimated 60 million Americans par»
ticipate in file~sharing networks. using soft-
ware that makes it simple for computer
users to locate and retrieve for free virtually
any song by any artists within moments. In-
ternet users broadly acknowledge music-
trading is illegal. but the practice has flour—
ished in recent years since copyright
statutes are among the most popularly flout-
ed laws online.

“Nobody likes playing the heavy“ said
RIAA President Cary Sherman. who com-
pared illegal music downloads to shoplift—
ing. “There comes a time when you have to
stand up and take appropriate action.”

Sen. Norm Coleman. R-Minn.. has al-
ready promised congressional hearings into
how the music industry has identified and
tracked the Internet users it's suing.

The RIAA did not identify for reporters
which Internet users it was suing or where
they live. Federal courthouses in New York.
Boston. Chicago. San Francisco. Dallas and
elsewhere reported receiving some lawsuits.

Indiana governor suffers stroke

CHICAGO ,,. Indiana Gov. Frank O'Ban-
non suffered a massive stroke in his C hica—
go hotel room Monday. and was in critical
condition following surgery.

The doctor who operated on the gover-
nor refused to speculate on O'Bannon‘s
chances for recovery. “We‘re hoping he's go-
ing to recover function. How much. we don‘t
know” said neurosurgeon Wesley Yapor.

O‘Bannon. a Democrat in his second
term. was found Monday morning after a
staff member called hotel security to say
the governor had missed a morning meet-
ing and was not answering his phone. said

Yapor said surgeons removed blood
from O’Bannon's brain. The doctor said
some of the blood probably came from an in-
jury, suggesting that the governor fell after
becoming ill.

Yapor said O'Bannon. 73, was in a drug-
induced coma and on a ventilator.

The outcome depends on how much
bleeding occurs. how much of the brain is
affected. and how long the patient goes with-
out treatment. Survivors can suffer brain
damage and often suffer permanent disabili-
ty including paralysis, loss of speech and vi-
sion. and weakness.

“1 think we're all just hoping and pray-
ing at this point for a quick recovery for the
governor. hoping this situation is not as seri.
ous as is currently indicated," said state
House GOP Leader Brian Bosma.

Widenin l-75 costl and inconvenient

CINC NNATI — idening a key stretch
of Interstate 75 to handle projected traffic by
2030 could cost $1.5 billion and wipe out
swaths of homes and businesses, coordina-
tors of a regional study said Monday

The project would include widening I-75
to six northbound lanes and six southbound
lanes between the Ohio River and Interstate
675 just south of Dayton, said Judi Craig.
spokeswoman for a committee doing the
study.

If recommended and fully funded, the
widening would require the government to
acquire 160 acres and eliminate 103 homes
and businesses, Craig said.

The committee realizes that would be a
substantial impact but, if nothing was done.
the alternative would be gridlock as traffic
volume exceeds the highway‘s capacity by as
much as 30 percent. she said.

The committee of regional planners and
state and federal transportation officials is
considering various alternatives to ease con-
gestion on I—75. a major artery that runs
from the Canadian border to south Florida.

The committee studying the stretch of I-
75 between Cincinnati and Dayton is evalu-
ating proposals that could be submitted for a
vote on Oct. 9 by the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana
Regional Council of Governments. The re-
gional agency recommends transportation
projects for government funding.

The committee also is considering vari-
ous alternatives including making the I-75
stretch four lanes all the way; combining
road improvements with a light~rail transit
system: restricting truck traffic during high-
volume hours. and reserving a lane for cars
with more than one occupant.

Any final recommendation would be
subject to a state review as to what priority
it would be given among transportation pro-
jects around Ohio. Even if funding were
available. engineering studies and environ-
mental impact assessments would have to be
done before construction could begin.

NCAA presidents discuss
future of football bowls

Without commenting on specifics, presidents say
they want to keept the college bowl system

By Steve lvey
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

Twelve university presi-
dents from Division I football
schools said Monday they
“laid the foundations for fu-
ture discussion" about the
direction of NCAA football
postseason play.

NCAA president Myles
Brand facilitated the meet-
ing in Chicago. One presi-
dent from each of the six
conferences in the Bowl
Championship Series — At-
lantic Coast, Big East, Big
Ten, Big 12. Pac-lO and
Southeastern conferences
and Notre Dame — met with
one president from each of
the five non-BCS confer-

ences.

The BCS is under inves-
tigation by the House Judi-
ciary Committee for viola-
tion of anti-trust laws. Big
Ten commissioner Jim De-
laney told Congress on Mon
day that the BCS is fair in in-
cluding only six conferences
and Notre Dame.

Tulane University presi-
dent Scott Cowen spent the
summer garnering support
for a separate coalition to op-
pose the BCS’ exclusivity.

None of the presidents
would comment on specifics
discussed at the meeting.

“We weren‘t seeking clo-
sure today." Cowen said.
“This was an initial meeting

to discuss the very broad
principles that should gov-
ern postseason play."

One alternative to the
BCS may be a playoff system
similar to the NCAA basket-
ball tournament in March.

“Right now we're just
trying to present things that
put student-athlete welfare
first," University of Oregon
president David Frohnmayer
said. “With an issue like a
playoff, there aren't two
sides. but probably five or
ten. We'd like to see some
form that would preserve the
traditional bowl approach."

The University of Ne-
braska president Harvey
Perlman said he hasn't seen
much enthusiasm for a play-
off system. but “a playoff
can mean different things to
different people. "

The BCS includes a four-

year rotation of the Sugar
Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange
Bowl and Rose Bowl. Six of
the eight spots are reserved
for the six BCS conference
champions. The remaining
two spots are selected by the
individual bowl committees
irrespective of conference
alignment. Delaney said
Monday the goal of the BCS
is “to bring to college foot-
ball fans a true national
championship game every
season matching the No. 1
and No. 2 teams in the na-
tion."

UK is entering its first
year out from under an
NCAA postseason ban. Six
wins would guarantee a bowl
bid; an SEC championship
would earn a BCS berth.

Bengals worst in NFL for last
12 years, on ther way

New head coach tries to convince players this year
will be different from the last 12 losing seasons

ASSOCIATED PRESS

More than once. coach
Marvin Lewis warned his
Cincinnati Bengals that
there would be some rough
moments as they try to res-
urrect a franchise.

They didn’t expect so
many, so fast.

Eight months of opti-
mism were dashed Sunday
by three hours of familiar
football.

They did the same
things they’ve done for the
last 12 years, the length of
their reign as the NFL‘s
worst team.

What now?

Lewis has to make sure
that one dreadful game does-
n't snowball into another
dreadful season. His immedi-
ate predecessors — Dave
Shula, Bruce Coslet. Dick
LeBeau —— each tried a differ-
ent approach, and each
failed.

“The approach is cer-
tainly different," cornerback
Artrell Hawkins said, follow-
ing team meetings. “Whether
that translates into how we
perform or not. only time
will tell. We‘ve got to make
sure we've done everything
in our power to make sure
that quicksand thing doesn‘t
happen."

It happens every autumn
in Cincinnati — the Bengals

start losing and can’t stop
sinking. They’re 9-37 in Au-
gust and September since
1991, the mark of a team that
crumbles easily.

“I guarantee it’s not go-
ing to be like that this year."
receiver Chad Johnson said.

Based on the opening
performance, it's certainly
got that potential.

Lewis had urged his
players not to get too caught
up in the hype over the open-
ing game in front of a capac~
ity crowd.

“You kind of get that
deer-in-the-headlights look.
and you've got to move be-
yond that.” Lewis said. “We
knew that going into it."

The Bengals got blown
out even though Broncos
quarterback Jake Plummer
threw three interceptions
and had a 21.7 passer rating.

Bengals quarterback Jon
Kitna forced passes. fumbled
twice and threw two inter-
ceptions. His backhanded
shovel pass was intercepted
and returned for the clinch-
ing touchdown.

Lewis is sticking with
Kitna as the starter and leav-
ing No. 1 draft pick Carson
Palmer on the sideline.

“Right now, (Kitna's) our
best option," Lewis said.
“We're going to get this fig-
ured out with Jon. and Jon's

going to take that pressure
off his shoulders."

A few more losses. and
the owner might weigh in
with a little pressure of his
own. Mike Brown likes to
switch quarterbacks when
one struggles. and rushed
first-round picks David Klin-
gler and Akili Smith into the
lineup during their rookie
seasons.

“It‘s about our quarter-
back giving us a chance to
win." Lewis said. “That‘s the
most important thing. You
have no patience with any-
one at any position if they're
not getting the job done for
you."

Here '5 a look back at Kernel editorial board opinions from
last week. If you want to sound off on any of these, email
the Dialogue desk at dialogue@kykernel.com

TUESDAY

In light of several recent reports of sexual abuse on
Kentucky college campuses, including a reported sexual
abuse incident near WT. Young Library on Aug. 26. UK Po-
lice are right to increase patrols on campus.

But increasing patrols will be futile, unless police stus-
tain throughout the year those stronger efforts at preventing
violence on campus.

Students also have the responsibility to be concerned
for their own safety and to take measures to that end.

WEDNESDAY

Student Government has a tough challenge this semester
in restoring its credibility. Last spring, former President Tim
Robinson resigned and pleaded guilty on a voter registration
interference charge. Later. the SG elections hit several snags
with votecounting and constitutional issues, and the final
blow was a $10,000 deficit for the year.

SG‘s priority should be student advocacy and not enter-
tainment — such as last year‘s $55,000 Montgomery Gentry
concert — although that could include working with other or-
ganizations to hold events, when it would benefit students.

Student Activities Board has been doing well and should
continue providing a wide range of activities to students.

Recent examples include the Spotlight Jazz series, last
year's speech from Playboy playmate and AIDS activist Re-
bekka Armstrong, the free Jason Mraz concert and the Phat
Cat car show.

SAB should also make an effort to work with other orga-
nizations. in particular SG, who take it upon themselves to
hold major events on campus.

Fall semester has just begun. and UK has already seen a
new chapter in its ongoing parking saga.

The story this time is at least twofold. Monthly street
cleaning in neighborhoods near campus began last week,
forcing students to park only on streets not designated as part
of the sweeping. Also, many parking lots that did allow non-
permit parking after 4:30 pm. are now extended to 7:30 pm.

Street cleaning may be necessary. but accommodations
could have been made to make the ordeal less of a burden on
commuters. And the less than $30,000 that extended permit
hours will earn is not worth the safety concerns and inconve-
niences it will create for students.

Last week‘s accident and injury of a pedestrian on South
Limestone Street should serve as a reminder to everyone on
campus of a few truths so simple they‘re easily forgotten:
One should look both ways before crossing the street. and
motorists should be careful of pedestrians.

The accident should also be a signal to UK administra—
tion of the need for options making it safer to cross the street.
such as more footbridges and crosswalks.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
