Historical negatives rot in Herald-Leader

UK received grant to preserve film;
school, newspaper at odds legally

BySamieh Shalash

iiii KENTUCKY KERNEL

A historical, one-of-a-kind collec-
tion of about 1.8 million images
showing Lexington history since
World War I] is steadily deteriorat-
ing at the Lexington Herald-Leader.

Stacked in banker boxes and ﬁl-
ing cabinets. the negatives which
date from 1939 to 2000 “could ﬁll

two Patterson Ofﬁce Tower ofﬁces
from wall to wall and floor to cell-
ing." said Lisa Carter. audio-visual
archivist in special collections.

To save them from “turning into
toxic waste." the Herald-Leader ap-
proached UK about making the neg-
atives a charitable donation to the
university more than two years ago.
Carter said.

The problem is that UK wants

ownership and redistribution rights
something the Herald-Leader
might not be able to give up.

“The cost of preserving the col-
lection is so great; it‘s not something
we thought the company could take
on." said Ron Garrison. photo direc-
tor at the Herald-Leader. “The
biggest hurdle is the two entities ~
UK and Knight Ridder (the Herald-
Leader’s corporate owner) w coming
up with an agreement."

Believing the collection would be
donated to UK, Carter’s department
applied for and acquired a $160,438
grant in June 2003 from the Wash-
ington. D.C.-based National Historic

Publications and Records Commis-
sion. The grant stipulated that UK
match the monetary amount and
that the images be preserved and ac-
cessible to the public in an electron-
ic. searchable index. Carter said.

“Because we're a land-grant uni-
versity and look to the public of
Kentucky as part of our constituen-
cy. we need to provide at least basic
access to them,” she said. “We’re not
talking about licensing and making
money off the collection."

Ownership rights became a stick-
ing point after the Herald-Leader
contacted Knight Ridder regarding
the donation.

Herald-Leader Publisher Tim
Kelly said he wants the negatives to
be preserved. and although relations
between UK and his newspaper have
been amicable. he wants the newspa-
per to retain intellectual property
rights.

UK throws game
in reverse against
humble Bobcats

The ball bounced backward. and UK could
do nothing to stop it.

Midway through the fourth quarter. fresh»
man running back Rafael Little misjudged a
kickoff and then joined other UK players in
mishandling and kicking the ball toward UK's
goal line. An ()hio player
eventually fell on the ball at
UK's 4-yard line.

That Three Stooges' rou-
tine on the kick return cer-
tainly looked like a joke. but
no one was laughing.

lt was “Throwback
Night" Saturday at (‘ommon-
wealth Stadium. and the
Cats spent the entire evening
in reverse.

After that fumbled kick
return (UK's fourth of five
turnovers). lI'K's defense
trudged back onto the field
and Ricky Abren could only shake his head

“I was just thinking how imich more Worse
can it really get." said the freshman defensive
lineman. “it's painful. you know. a MAC (Mid-
American (‘onferencel team coming into the
SEC (Southeastern (‘onference). W“ underesti-
mated them and they hurt us."

The Bobcats punished the (Tats. and the ef-
fects could linger for the rest of the season.

“Probably the biggest injury is to our men-
tal psyche. and there is no other way to put it.
but that was a very. very tough. ugly loss." said
UK head coach Rich Brooks.

It started so well for the Cats. The defense
forced a punt and then a turnover. and the of
fense punched it in for a touchdown.

“We come out and get off to a fast start."
said l'K defensive coordinator Mike Archer.
"We actually got off the field in under seven
plays. with a fixe-play drive. and the offense
takes it down and scores. And then we lost
everything.”

He was not exaggerating.

The defense gave up big play after big play

The offense kept shooting itself in the foot
with dropped passes andstupid turnovers like
that fumbled lateral from Shane Boyd to (llenn
Holt.

The (‘ats took a giant step backward. and it
was painfully clear to everyone in attendance.
from the members of L'K's 1984 Hall of Fame
Bowl team to the UK cheerleaders in their
retro gear.

"l feel bad." Archer said. "We honored the
‘84 team. and I know (former UK) (‘oach (Jer-
ry) (‘lairborne is rolling in his grave now be
cause it's embarrassing

“It's embarrassing to our players and the
guys that were here today."

The blame has to lie with the man iii
charge Brooks.

Sure. he can‘t coach dropped passes or
fumbles. but be can get his guys ready to play
on Saturday. This week he didn't.

Sure. he didn't drag l’K into its current

Disgruntled fans, Terr ' Evans (right) of Lexington and Eddie Evans of Corbin stare on in disbelief as the Cats are thrown a defeat on Throwback Night at Com-

“Apparently the focus wasn‘t where

the whole game.

Then there were three interceptions

two by Boyd and one by redshirt
freshman Andre Woodson.

"You can't have three interceptions
and expect to win football games." said
offensive coordinator Ron Hudson.

“We didn‘t execute." he said. “There
were drops all over the place,"

Still. UK stayed close to Ohio.

Looking downfield. Shane Boyd
walked to the sideline in disbelief.

Any chance of a UK comeback had
just slipped through junior receiver
Scott Mitchell's hands.

All Boyd could do was take a knee.
while head coach Rich Brooks put his
arm around him and told the senior
quarterback his day was done.

“The game was getting out of
hand." Brooks said.

No one could believe it.

The UK football team could not
overcome numerous dropped passes
and five turnovers in its 2MB loss to
Ohio University Saturday night in front
of 61.514 fans at (‘ommonwealth Stadi-
um.

“We had lots of chances to make
plays. but it‘s like we put a ribbon

Brooks said.

The trio‘s members didn't
announce their presence. No
ﬂyers. no banners they
just showed up and made
music.

“Kentucky's got a lot
more to be proud of than to-
bacco, bourbon. horse racing
and basketball," said history
graduate student Jeff Keith.
the group's mandolin and
guitar player.

Keith and musicology
graduate students Nikos Pap-
pas and Kevin Kehrberg
formed the trio and began
playing old-time music
Thursday afternoon in front
of Miller Hall.

The three musicians.
playing a medley of songs
that were the precursors to
bluegrass music. formed the
group to bring back an
awareness of old-time music.

Within half an hour or
so. a crowd of about 20 or so
had gathered. sitting in the
shade of the trees. intently
listening to the music and
showing its approval with ap-
plause when the group fin.
ished a song.

“I want to take lessons
from him." said Stephanie
Jolly. an anthropology and
biology junior. commenting
on Pappas‘ fiddling. “He‘s
good."

Pappas, Kehrberg and
Keith come from a variety of

nowski (righ

backgrounds with one com-
mon thread: music.

“I really don't have many
memories back before I
played an instrument.“ Pap-
pas said. “In fact. I don‘t
think I have any."

Pappas began playing an
instrument when he was two
and a half years old. and now
he plays the fiddle for the
trio.

Music is a serious family
tradition for the Pappas. if
not an obsession. he said. His
great-grandparents met at
singing school.

“The running joke of the
family is that in-laws have to
audition." Pappas said.
laughing.

Music and Pappas now
seemed to be so intertwined
that people have a hard time
telling where one ends and

the other begins.

“I guess because music
has always been a part of my
life it's like breathing."
I’appas said. “I can't imagine
not playing.“

Kehrberg. who plays the
string bass and the guitar.
has integrated music into his
life as well.

“I just can‘t seem to stop."
Kehrberg said.

When asked why he had
decided to come out in public
and play music with Pappas
and Keith. he said he felt he
had something to spread
around.

"I think playing with
Nikos and Jeff. making that
kind of music. is worth shar-
ing." he said.

Kehrberg also said that
music never gets boring for
him , it keeps him coming

back for more.

“There’s an infinite
amount of music not only to
listen to but to play."
Kehrberg said. “If you get
sick of something. just move
on (to another type)."

Keith. the non-music stu-
dent in the trio. has been
playing guitar and mandolin
for about 13 years. He recon-
ciles music with his back-
ground in history very easily.

“Everyone should play
music.“ Keith said. “Music
and history are very much
related.

Pen) told me, ‘Everything has
a history. but music is every-
thing.m

“They (Knight Ridder) had plenty of
questions. like. ‘()nce you turn these
over, what about reprint rights. resale
rights; do we continue to own the collec-
tion; does UK own the collection?” he
said.

“Our work product is all we have to
sell. whether stories. photos or graphics.
When you start giving that to other par—
ties to own and sell. that's just not good
business practice."

The collection was appraised at $4
million in 2002 by an independent ap-
praiser.

This February. UK hired a project
specialist. Deirdre Scaggs. to manage all
of its contents. Four students. who work
1012 hours a week. were hired last
spring to help with the project.

“It got me to move back to Kentucky
from Pittsburgh because I really believed
in preserving the collection and making
it accessible." Scaggs said. "There‘s oth-
ers (newspapers) that have donated
theirs to libraries; that's common. Some
just throw them away.

“It serves as the collective memory of
Lexingtonians and people of Central
Kentucky. and there‘s not a monetary
price associated with that memory."

Garrison said the photos extensively
cover the community.

"You're looking at a lot of pictures
that have to do with UK. especially llK
sports in the Adolph Rupp era. he said.

ESPN. HBO and the A&E network of-
ten call looking for such pictures. Carter
said.

“It's a great resource about life in
Lexington from the 19405 until today."
she said. “All the things important to
Kentucky. from innovations in coal min-
ing. urban living. suburban living and
the tobacco and horse industries are en-
capsulated in the collection."

If Knight Ridder doesn‘t come to an
agreement that results in UK receiving
the photographs. the grant for preserv-
ing the collection is in danger of being
revoked. Carter said.

“I‘m hopeful that we can move out
the differences and move forward." said
Gordon Yamate. the attorney represent-
ing Knight Ridder. “Here we are making
a gift of the photo archives. We need to
have access to them to do our business
We are a media company; we need to
have control over and the ability to use
the photos as we need."

Scaggs estimated that the negatives.
especially the earliest ones. have about a
year left until they show signs of decom-
posing. Because the Herald-Leader does
not have a temperaturecontrolled stor-
age room. the negatives are subject to
fluctuating humidity. which leads to
their deterioration. Scaggs said.

“Often there's a damp feeling in
there. or it‘s just hot. .lust from being in
there you can certainly tell it's not ide-
al." she said. Scaggs has visited the pho
tos in the Herald—Leader about :30 times.
she said. The student staff has been to
the building once or twice.

“It‘s very unkempt." said Klinton
Blair. a graduate student on Scagg's stall.

of the room the negatives are in. “It
looks like it‘s just been forgotten about.“

As part of the planned acquisition,
U K retroﬁtted a room with a dehumidifi-
cation unit and cooling system for the
negatives in the basement of the Lucille
Caudill Little Library for 830.000 to
340.000. Scaggs said. It currently stands
empty.

Scaggs. who created a Web site for the
project. said she and her team do their
best to stay productive even though the
transition of the entire collection hasn't
been ﬁnalized.

“Wl're very limited in what we can
do because we wanted to still do work
that was beneﬁcial without expending
any resources.” she said.

The team has created a database and
is working on an index for the collection.

Herald—leader news research manag-
er l.u-Ann Farrar who. with the photo
team. is responsible for the collection
advocates releasing the images to UK as
early as possible.

“I desperately want the university to
get the negatives." she said. “That's the
right thing that should happen.

“They‘re breaking down and turning
into toxic waste."

Yamate is scheduled to fly from
Knight Ridder's (.‘alifornia headquarters
tomorrow to work on a written agree»
ment between the newspaper and UK.

"There‘s a need to get this finalized."
he said in acknowledging that the nega-
tives are steadily breaking down.

“That‘s the issue; that‘s the concern;
that's why we've expressed interest in do-
ing this."
