Safety

Statistics

O In 1996 in the United
States, 5,412
pedestrians (mostly
young children,
elderly people and
intoxicated people)
died. Another
82,000 were injured.

0 Pedestrians account
for about 13 percent
of motor vehicle-
reIated deaths.

1 0 On average, a
pedestrian is killed
in a traffic crash
every 97 minutes.

0 Hit-and-run accidents
account for 18
percent of the
deaths among
pedestrians.

O The situation is
improving.
Pedestrian deaths
per 100,000 people
decreased 42
percent from 1975 to
1996.

0 Alcohol is a big
factor in adult
pedestrian deaths.

, Of all pedestrians 16

” years of age or older

i who were killed in

3 night-time crashes

during 1996, 55

percent had blood

alcohol
concentrations of

0.10 percent or

more.

O In 1996, 70 percent
of pedestrian deaths
occurred in urban
areas. But the ratio
of deaths to injuries
is higher for rural
areas than for urban
areas because of
higher driving
speeds.

Grad student, woman makes

three hit by motor vehicles

By Karla Dooley
ASSISTANT NEVIS EDITOR

In the two days after sociology senior
Stanley McGowan’s death after crossing
South Limestone Street on Saturday. two
more accidents involving pedestrians oc-
curred on or near campus.

Michael Labaugh. 37, a music graduate
student. and Yugiao Ping, 27. who is not a UK
student. were both in fair condition at the UK
Medical Center last night after being hit by
motor vehicles.

Labaugh was riding his bicycle south-
west on Rose Street at 11 pm. Tuesday night
when he was hit from behind. according to
police reports.

The vehicle. which witnesses said was ei~
ther a four-door maroon Ford Tempo or
Chevy Corsica. left the scene.

“As far as I know. there hasn‘t been any-
thing further on it." Lexington Police Ofﬁcer
Pam Walsh said, “Not a lot to go on."

Ron Lloyd. manager of the Music Library
Listening Center. where Labaugh works. said
Labaugh told him during a visit yesterday
morning that the accident had left him with a
broken hip. leg. ankle and ribs. in addition to
one punctured lung. Lloyd said Labaugh was
on his way back from his other job at the Ken-
tucky Inn when the accident occurred.

“He is one of the most dependable. cooper—
ative and reliable student workers that I
have." he said. “This shouldn't happen to any-
one, but when bad things happen to good peo-
ple. it makes it even worse."

Labaugh has no family in Lexington and
lives alone. which could make the accident
harder on him. Lloyd said.

”These things are weighing heavily on
his mind right now." he said.

Ping was hit by a van while crossing the
intersection at Euclid Avenue and Rose Street
shortly before 9:30 am. yesterday, according
to an accident report by the UK Police.

Preston Dewey. the driver of the Inter-
state Brands Corps. van. said he was turning
from southbound Rose onto eastbound Euclid
during a green light when Ping walked into
his path, Ping. who lives in Lexington. might
not have been able to see the van. because she
was holding an open umbrella against the
snow. the report said.

No other information about Ping was
available at presstime.

People are choosing their words carefully
when they speak about the Kentucky Ameri-

pipeline from Lexington to Louisville.

Lindell ()rmsbee. associate director of
liK‘s Kentucky Water Resource Research In-
stitute and a professor of (‘ivil Engineering.
said there are many misunderstandings about
the issue.

()rmsbee said he is not interested in mak
ing accusations of inﬂammatory statements.
nor does he advocate a certain position; he
just wants people to understand the issues in-
volved Both the media and the water compa-
ny use certain facts and ﬁgures from the insti
tute‘s reports out of context. he said.

“I want to add light to this situation. not
heat.“ (1rmsbee said.

The water company wants to import treat-
ed water from the Ohio River to supplement
Lexington‘s current water supply and ensure
water in the event of a major drought.

THURSDAY, MARCH 4. I999 I 3

Continued from paqet

Supporting data for the
proposed pipeline has been
drawn from a number of
sources, including research
done by UK's institute that ap-
plied Lexington’s current popu-
lation to water deﬁcit ﬁgures
from the 1930 drought, the
worst drought on record.

A “water deﬁcit" refers to a
situation in which water is re-
moved faster than it can be re-
plenished, he said. A drought
that severe is believed to occur
statistically once every 100 to
120 years. Ormsbee said.

The study tried to deter-
mine the deﬁcit that would oc-
cur during such a drought and
possible solutions. It also exam-
ined several different preven-
tion options, including a large
dam, different types of reser-
voirs, changes to the existing
dams and the Ohio River
pipeline.

The study also tried to pro-
vide objective data about the
cost and effectiveness of differ-
ent options. But this data is not
being used in a completely ob-
jective manner, Ormsbee said.

“One of the contentions I
have with Kentucky-American
is they are running ads that say
that Lexington would be with-
out water (in the event of a ma-
jor drought) for 53 days,” Orms-
bee said, “That is not true.”

Ormsbee said the 53-day fig
ure comes from an institute
study conducted before the wa-
ter company increased the
amount of water they draw. At
the current level of water extrac-
tion, the real ﬁgure would be
about eight days, Ormsbee said.

The water company agrees

Jokes not
funny

Cracks on rednecks
demeaning to people

By Jessica Coy
SENIOR STAI’ F WRITER

You know you're a redneck
when your porch caves in and
kills more than seven dogs. You
know you’re a redneck when
your family tree doesn’t fork.

Most students laugh when
they hear these jokes, but what
if you were from Appalachia,
which is often the target of such
humor? Would you think they
were so funny? Writer Anne
Shelby doesn’t think so.

“Many of the people who
make these jokes are sensitive
and well intentioned, and they
just don’t realize how hurtful
they are to some people, espe-
cially children,” Shelby said.

Shelby, who is a native of
Clay County, a small town in
Eastern Kentucky, will present
her essay, “What’s So Funny
and Not So Funny About Red-
neck Jokes,” as part of a panel
discussion on the stereotypes
redneck jokes perpetuate.

Shelby said the panel, which
will also feature English profes-
sor Gurney Norman, has two

purposes.

“First, I hope people from the
Appalachia region who attend the
panel will come away with a bet-
ter understanding of why red-
neck jokes occur and will have
the courage to deal with them in
a constructive way," she said.
“Secondly, I hope that people who
aren’t from the area, and who
may be spreading these jokes,
will see the unfairness of it."

Tina Parker, a first year
English graduate student and
organizer of the Appalachia
panel, is also from Appalachia.
She hopes the panel will
heighten awareness of the ex-
amples of stereotypes that are
everywhere, from movies to co-
medians to radio shows.

“I hope people will realize
that Appalachia is a very diverse
place. In many cases it’s the
same as being in Lexington as
far as diversity goes," she said.

The panel will be part of
“Connections: Weaving a Web
of Interdisciplinary Under-
standing," a bi-yearly confer-
ence that brings together gradu-
ate students to practice present-
ing papers. said Maggie Littonp,
a second year English graduate
student and organizer of the
conference.

“Often times once a student
gets to the graduate level, they
get so involved in their area of
research that things get very
fragmented," she said.

the ﬁgure of 53 days might not
be accurate. but thinks eight
days cannot be precise either.

“Some modiﬁcations have
been made. such as revisions to
our permit. however. increased
demands and additional cus—
tomers need to be taken into ac
count,” says Linda Bridwell, di-
rector of the water company’s
Bluegrass Water Project.

“The figure of eight days
relies on 1994 demand ﬁgures.
In addition, (the water compa-
ny) has concerns about as-
sumptions made in the report
about leakage and releases
from the upstream reservoirs,"
Bridwell said.

The information provided
by the water company for the
community gives people the
wrong impression about the re-
ality of the water deﬁcit, Orms-
bee said.

He said the water compa-
ny's water shortage information
leads people to believe that, in
the event of a drought, the river
would not have any water.

“Being without water for X
number of days does not mean
the river is dry, Ormsbee said.
“When you throw that ‘53’ out
there, it implies that the river is

The deﬁcit is based on cal-
culations that determine how
much water can be taken while
maintaining water quality,
Ormsbee said. When water falls
below a certain level, regula-
tions allow for no extraction,
even though there will still be
water in the river, he said.

Of course, these regula-
tions can be bypassed.

“If we have a drought, the
governor has the authority to
declare a state emergency,”
Ormsbee said.

Jim Rebmann, senior envi-
ronmental planner for the Lex-
ington-Fayette Urban County
Government and chairperson

for the city’s Water Supply
Flaming Council. agrees the
possibility of a deﬁcit is largely
because of quality regulations.

He said people should not
rely on bypassing regulations
as preparation for drought.

“That’s not good planning.”

Costisalsoahotissuein
the debate. Ormsbee, Rebmann
and the water company agree
the pipeline construction will
cost $50 million, an expense the
water company plans to pass
on to the consumers through
increased rates.

The institute's study com-
pared relative cost for the
pipeline and other solutions,
such as crest gates. The water
company now produces water
at capacity and will not be able
to produce more until new facil-
ities are built.

Crest gates would be placed
on the Kentucky River’s current
dams to increase the amount of
water they can hold. The gates
would require expanding the
water company’s treatment fa-
cilities, the study said. New
treatment facilities would cost
roughly $40 million, and crest
gates could cost as much as $12
million, making the total cost
of a crest gate solution more ex-
pensive than constructing the
pipeline, Rebmann said.

With these ﬁgures, the wa-
ter company says a pipeline is
the least expensive way to solve
our water problem.

Ormsbee said this is not
the total cost, because it only
represents the cost of the con-
struction and not the opera-
tional cost needed to maintain
the pipeline. Purchasing water
from Louisville through a
pipeline is six times more ex-
pensive than treating water
from the Kentucky River.
Ormsbee said. He said the oper-
ational cost makes the pipeline
more expensive than the crest

”(till ,, l 'r

gate in the long run.
The water company dis-
putes these ﬁgures.

“UK reports severely un-
derestimated maintenance and
replacement costs associated
with the crest gates," Bridwell
said. “The pipeline is consis-
tently more cost effective than
crest gates, including the cost
of water."

Chethan Talwalker, com-
munity activist and member of
the water supply planning
council, said we need to focus
on local water supply and ex-
pand that to supply our water.

“The pipeline will not elim-
inate the need for locks and
dams (on the Kentucky River),"
Talwalker said.

Many of the locks and dams
need repair. If they failed, a
pipeline would not be an ade-
quate supply for the community,
he said.

Rebmann agrees the locks
and dams of the Kentucky Riv-
er inevitably must be replaced.
but says there is no indication
of when that will happen. In the
case of dam failure, a second
water supply is good, he said.

All of the individuals in-
volved in the debate admit the
issues are complicated. The in‘
stitute believes UK should
serve the community by pro-
viding objective and accurate
information.

“The University’s role is to
inform and educate and bring
all the information to the
table,” said James Kipp, assis.
tant director of the institute.
“It's one of the classic exam-
ples of something that is going
to effect everyone in the entire
community."

The Water Supply Plan-
ning Council is holding a pre-
sentation for the public tonight
at 7 at the Lexington-Fayette
Urban County Government
Center.

poster, Ward said.

“It was a great idea. Some-
one saw her at a basketball tour-
nament and thought having her
on the team poster might just
help,“ he said.

“We didn‘t actually think it
would happen.“ said communi-
cations freshman and forward
player Alex Derhohannesian.

Whether the wardrobe deci-
sion was .Iudd's idea is not
clear.

“We were sent just the one
picture." Ward said. “We asked
her if it was alright to change
the color of her toe nails to blue
using a computer. and she said
she did not mind."

The posters were to be giv-

en away for free to attendants of

the Cool Cats games. Around
4000 posters were printed.

“A lot of my friends were
asking for posters. Everybody

seemed to want one," said Der-
hohannesian.

Students were not the only
ones to go crazy over the Judd
poster. Deans of several col-
leges requested posters, said

ed. Requests were received on-
line from Germany and Italy.
Radio stations from as far away
as Wisconsin have been making
the Cool Cats their ofﬁcial team
and trading station items for
copies of the Judd poster, he
said.

“The poster got us a little
more national awareness," said
Ryan Gardner. [SC junior and
defense player.

The Cool Cats also heard
from the Boston Globe, ESPN.
CBS and Extra, said Ward.

“I heard that some people
were selling copies of the poster

Derhohannesian.

Rumor has it that Judd
might be posing for next sea-
son‘s team poster in a blue jer-
sey, he said.

claim its seventh SEC Tournament title in the last eight years this weekend in Atlanta.

Georgia on
their minds

Free for all: SEC Tournament title up for grabs, with
Tigers, Volunteers, Cats, Hogs, Gators all chasing crown

By Matt May
SPORTSDAlLY EDITOR

When the Southeastem
Conference meets in At—
lanta this week for the an-
nual conference tourna-
ment. every team arrives
with visions of taking home
the title and an automatic
NCAA Tournament bid.

While it is no secret

ble matchup with UK in
the semiﬁnals.

Eastern Division cham-
pion Tennessee is another
tourney favorite. The V0]-
unteers are coming off a big
win over UK last weekend
and are riding a six-game
winning streak. Guard play
of Brandon Wharton and
Tony Harris has the Vols
playing clutch basketball.

Cat-lanta again.

Arkansas and Florida
may also crash the party
in Atlanta. The Razor-
backs pulled off back-to-
back upsets over UK and
Auburn in the last two
weeks, but lost to Alabama
over the weekend. The
Hogs have yet to prove
they can win big games
away from Bud Walton

Who's crown is it? A breakdown of who's done what and
who could make a run at the SEC crown. Auburn,
Tennessee are favorites, but watch Cats and Hogs.

Alabama Crimson Tide

M: Mark Gottfried

Record: 16-13 (6-10 SEC. 5th SEC West)

B_ig wins: Arkansas 84-79, UK 62-58 Last 10: 4-6
MM Brian Williams (16.2 ppg) I Jeremy Hays (8.6 rpg)
w Alabama has played much better as the season drew to a close
with wins over UK and Arkansas. Gottfried has put excitement back in fans.

Arkansas Razorbacks

M Nolan Richardson

Laid: 20-9 (9-7 SEC, 2nd SEC West)

Big wins: Auburn 104-88, UK 74-70 Law 6-4
MW Pat Bradley (13.8 ppg) I Derek Hood (9.7 rpg)
Comet: Hogs are considered a bubble team by most, but should get in with
wins over UK and Auburn. Could be a SEC Tournament sleeper if shooting well.

Auburn Tigers

CM: Cliff Ellis

Md: 26-2 (14-2 SEC, lst SEC West)

Quins: Tennessee 90-62, Arkansas 83-66 LaLtlg: 9-1
1;ng .. , . Chris Porter (16.5 ppg) I Porter (8.8 rpg)
CM: Nobody could have expected this from the Tigers. Come into the
SEC Tournament as the favorite, but may need to win for NCAA no. 1 seed.

Florida Gators
Co_agli: Billy Donovan
|_le_c_oLd: 19-7 (10-6 SEC, 3rd SEC East)

less abandon. shooting its way into the Top 25 and a probable NCAA berth.

Louisiana State Tigers

mwjgs: Texas 63-61 (OT) Last 10: 2-8

LEIGH]. ,, WW. ,4 R W ,. Maurice Carter (17.4 ppg) I Jabari Smith (9.6 rpg)
Comment: LSU piled up a good record against a patsy schedule early, but
struggled once SEC play rolled around. Just cleared to play in the tournament.

Ole Miss Rebels
