Most people would not see what a
fashion designer from New 7paland. a
Califomra neuroscientist and UK fac-
ulty members have in common.

The answer can be found at the
fifth Idea Festival. a three-day event
beginning Sept. 13 in Louisville that
encourages dialogue from profession-
als in a variety of disciplines.

Well-known innovators such as
Steve Wozniak. the co-founder of Ap-
ple. Karen Walker. a New Zealand-
based fashion designer and Homaro
Cantu. a chef and leader in molecular
gastronomy. will be among those
highlighted at the festival.

More familiar to students are UK

faculty members and Idea Festival
presenters Lisa BroomePrice. Tom
Marksbury and John Stempel. Phil
Kracmer. the associate provost for un-
dergraduate education. has provided
coordinating support for the festival.

“I heard about the Idea Festival
last year." Sternpcl said. “As a college
professor. I think it is important to
stimulate thinking on these ideas."

Originally held in Lexington. the
Idea Festival was founded in 2000 by
the Kentucky Science and Technology
Corporation (KSTC). In 2006. the fes-
tival relocated to Louisville to accom-
modate the growing number of partici-
pants.

UK has been an important source
of support since the event began. said
Kris Kimel. president of KSTC.

The event. held in the Kentucky
Convention Center hosts about 75 d1f~
fercnt organizations. including KSTC
and UK.

The festival began out of the need
for an affordable international forum
in Kentucky to provide discussions.
presentations. music. performances
and films in all areas of life and work.

“I feel like in today‘s world. it is
really all about innovation." Kimel
said. “Ideas change the world. and the
only competitive edge is the ability to
out~innovate the competition."

Even with a network of previous
presenters. finding the innovators for
the festival is a constant. year-round
search for those involved. Kimel said.

“We always have our radar up.
looking for interesting people." Kimel

said. “We‘re just always on the look-
out."

Broome—Price. a student affairs of-
ficer. said she was “entirely hooked by
the concept."

A large goal of the event is to
share information from seemingly op«
posite fields. Kimel said.

“Whether you are a dancer. chef.
screntist or fashion designer. you leam
something from the intersection of
others' fields." Kimel said. “The point
is to get out of the box and use differ—
ent people's knowledge to do what
you do better."

Ticket prices range from free to
$75 depending on the presentation,

festival Web site

Sunday

alcohol

debate
pours on

City council hears
much opposition to
extending sale hours

By Katie Sal_tz
ksaltz©kykernel com

People poured out of church vans
and into the Lexington Govemment
Center yesterday to speak out against
the proposed ordinance that would al‘
low alcohol sales on Sundays.

The Urban County Council held a
work session that ended with a public
hearing for ‘community members to
voice their opinions about the pro-
posed alcohol ordinance change.
which would expand the current law
to allow package and by-the-drink
sales of alcohol wrthin certain times
on Sundays.

Those who spoke against the law
heavily outnumbered the people who
spoke in favor of it in over two hours
of public discussion.

The crowd heard the opinions of lo-
cal business owners. students. citizens
of surrounding cities and preachers
from the area. Many students from
Commonwealth Baptist College attend-
ed to speak out against the ordinance.

Nicole Anderson. a sophomore at
the college. said her argument was very
simple.

“The Bible says it is wrong.” An—
derson said. "Sunday is God‘s day and
we should respect it."

Sean Taylor. an undeclared sopho-
more at UK. said he felt that the church
community did not fully represent the
Fayette County community.

“Here they obviously organized to
make it appear overwhelming." Taylor
said. “I feel like the churches are trying
to get everyone to live by their moral
code."

There is more than religious oppo-
sition to the ordinance. said Nick
Blades. a computer science junior.
Blades said it is more about the reputa-
tion of UK.

“Do you want people to think of a
college town as a learning center or as
a crazy drunken party?" Blades said. “I
don‘t want my classmates coming into
class Monday morning drunk. They
don't need help being any dumber than
they already are. frankly."

Taylor said that despite the large
number of people in opposition. he still
wanted to make his point in favor.

“What brought me here was trying
to stand up for the majority of people
in Fayette County and the right to be a
responsible drinker." Taylor said.

The small number of those in favor
of the ordinance was proof that the idea
of alcohol on Sundays is wrong. said
Michelle Powers. a junior at Common—
wealth Baptist College.

“If there were more people who
wanted it. they would have shown up."
Powers said. “If you want something
bad enough you'll fight for it. and
that‘s what we're doing,"

Fifth District Councilman David
Stevens sponsored the ordinance. say-
ing in the past that the change is
needed for businesses to stay compet—
itive with areas like Louisville and
Northern Kentucky. He thought peo-
ple were confused in their arguments
yesterday.

Sober for 139 days,

The Hills' Jason Wahler
surprises his girlfriend
with a diamond ring ——
and ex Lauren Conrad
isn't too thrilled

B_y GabeflEuarentg

For months. Jason Wahler
and his girlfriend of seven
months. USC sophomore Katja
Dccker—Sadowski. had been
talking marriage —— but no pro-
posal. Finally. on August 24. as
the star of MTV‘s The Hills was
in the driveway of his sweet—
heart‘s downtown LA. apart-
ment (he was moving in). their
song came on his car radio: “I
Guess That‘s Why They Call It
the Blues.“ by Elton John.
"When I heard it. I was like.
‘Get down here!‘" Wahler tells
Us. “l pretended she had to help
me with some boxes. and then I
opened the door so she could
hear the song." On bended knee,
Wahler. 20. took out a box —
he‘d only picked up the ring a
day earlier: "I said. ‘I love you.
you've helped me with all my
troubles. and I want to spend the
rest of my life with you.” Adds
Decker‘Sadowski. 19, "We
were both teary-eyed. we were
so happy

Checkered Past

Tears of joy have been a rar-
ity for Wahler lately. Ever since
he and fellow Laguna Beach

JASON WAHLER
ENGAGED —
HOW LOVE SAVED ME

alum Lauren Conrad. 2| . split in
2006. the reality TV star has
been a trouble magnet. with
four arrests (including two for
assault and one for underage
drinking) and court—ordered re—
hab at Chapman House in Or»
ange. California. Then there was
April’s “sex tape" scandal (Con—
rad and Wahler say the tape
doesn‘t exist; he blames
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag
for starting the rumor). Through
it all. though. he and Decker—
Sadowski (they met at LA. club
Area in early February) re—
maincd solid. “I've never felt
this way before. so why would 1
want to let that go?" explains
Decker-Sadowski. who says
things turned serious before
Wahler left for rehab in May.
“She was always there for me.
no matter what." he says.

Making It Work

Now sober. Wahler says
she's The One. “Your boyfriend
goes to rehab for two months.
and you see him once a week —
it‘s a big thing." he says. “Once
I realized I couldn't party any—
more. she said. ‘I don‘t care.”
Adds his fiancee. “He makes
me laugh and is mature in how
he handles things. That's what I
love."

As for wedding plans.
Decker-Sadowski tells Us she
wants a big ceremony in the
couple's native California and
perhaps a Tahitian honeymoon.
But they won‘t say “1 do" until
two years from now. when the
communications major gradu-

atcs. (Wahler is currently on
MTV's Celebrity Rap Super—
star.) “The engagement was just
to show I‘m serious." Wahler
says. "I've never felt this way
before."

Brody & Spencer: Split!

Breaking up is hard to do.
even for BFFs. Ex:pals Spencer
Pratt and Brody Jenner. who
met in the seventh grade.
proved the adage true on the
September 3 episode of The
Hills. "You are rolling around
with my enemy. I got nothing to
say to you." Pratt ranted to Jen—
ner about his staying in touch
with Conrad. Still bitter. Pratt
tells Us. “Brody doesn‘t know
what loyalty is." Responds Jen-
ner. “It is unfortunate we aren‘t
friends. but I will always con—
sider him family."

Lauren's Reaction

When Wahler and his fi-
ancee announced their engage-
ment at an August 25 house—
warming for their LA. pad. one
rcveler wasn‘t too psyched: his
ex Conrad. whom he dated on
and off for a year. Despite her
congratulations. “it seemed like
she wasn't happy for me."
Wahler tells Us. adding that LC
showed up unannounced with
Audrina Patridge and the Hills
cameras. "I wanted her to go. . .
. There was a weird tension."
For her part. Conrad tells Us. “I
am really happy for Jason and
wish them all the happiness."

“I think a lot of people
don‘t properly understand the
ordinance." Stevens said. “A
lot of people recounted the
evils of alcohol. and we're not
advocating that. We already
have sales on Sunday. we‘re
just modifying the hours.“

The new ordinance would
allow all restaurants. bars.
liquor stores and grocery
stores to sell alcohol by the
drink as well as in package
sales during specified hours.
Distilled spirits and wine by
the drink and beer by the pack-
age or drink would be allowed

from ll am. Sunday to 2:30
am. Monday.

Packages of spirits or wine
would be available from 1 pm.
to 9 pm.

Currently. restaurants that
seat at least l00 customers and
make more than half their rev»
enue from food sales can cur-
rently sell alcohol by the drink
on Sundays from l:00 pm. to
I1200 p.m.

Stevens said that despite
the comments of the opposi-
tion. he still stood behind the
ordinance.

"I can't speak for the other
council members. but they did-
n‘t change my mind." he said.

The next vote for final ap-
proval on the ordinance could
come as early as tomorrow.

says rivalry game

off the national radar

Although Saturday's UK-
Louisville matchup is one of the
most anticipated games in recent
state history. the rivalry still has
a ways to go before it receiyes
national attention. according to
ESPN college football analyst
Kirk Herbstreit,

“Nationally it's off the
radar." Herbstreit said “If we
went to Florida or (‘alifomia or
Texas and asked people what do
you think of Louisville-Ken—
tucky. they would say it‘s a
great basketball rivalry."

Herbstreit. an analyst on
ESPN College Gameday and
commentator for ESPN and
ABC. said Kentucky has to win
more than "once every f'iy c
years" for the game to matter
outside the state.

"The only way this ever be-
comes a national rivalry outside
of college basketball is for both
teams to be ranked in the top 25
consistently." Herbstreit said.
“Once there‘s a lot on the line
for both teams. then it becomes
a rivalry."

Since the renewal of the ri—

valry in 1994. the first year of

the Governor's Cup. UK has
only had three winning seasons.
The Cats are also just 44)
against the Cardinals since the
rebirth of the rivalry.

But despite UK‘s woes
against Louisville. Herbstreit
has reason to belieye the (‘ats
are on their way up in the na»
tional rankings after
their surprising 8—5
record last year.

“The majority of
their skill is back."
Herbstreit said. "They‘re
coming off a bowl expe-
rience in the Music City
Bowl where they beat a
good Clemson team. so I
think the opportunity is
there. Now it's just
about going out and winning
games."

If the (‘ats take care of host
ness on Saturday and beat the
Cardinals for the first time since
2003. expect the Cats to break
into the national polls. lleibstrc-
it said.

”I really don't think it‘s as
far-fetched to think that Ken
tucky is a win or two away. or
even a few weeks away from
sneaking into the top-25.” he
said.

L'K picked tip their climb
this week in the polls. recciying
nine votes in the ISA 'I'oday
poll after defeating Kent Statc
on Saturday 56-20.

With the Cats moying up in
the rankings and the (‘ardinals
reeling after giving up 42 points
last Thursday in a win oyer
Middle Tennessee State. it‘s not

to pull off an upset on Saturday.
Ilerbstreit said.

“If you take ad—

put it all together. it's
not a great game he
said. "I remember two

year. Louisyille and

“To haye two quarterbacks

out for Saturday's game against

against Kent State. adding that
he could miss a “significant

“The disheartening thing is
that both of those guys are at the

"With eyery body healthy there.
I felt really good about the rotaA

‘a little bit,"

Michigan and Florida-Tennessee

No major teleyision network w antcd the I’K
U of L game in favor of those other contests.
ESPN Classic was virtually the last option.

But how good do those match~ups look now"

Notre Dame and Michigan appeared to be a
pretty sexy matchup before the season staned.
Now it‘s about as sexy as Britney Spears was at
Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

The two schools have won a combined 20 na
tional championships. So far this year they 'ye
combined to win a staggering rem games;

Maybe that game should be on ESPN Classic

Or ESPN the Ocho.

No. 5 Florida and No. 22 Tennessee is always
the game to watch during the third week of the
season. Except when the Volunteers fall flat in the
first week of the season. and when Horida head
coach Urban Meyer is on the opposite sideline to

Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer.

Maybe that game should be played on ESPN
