Common sense

Natural
selection

Throumout my life I have
been overwhelmed by
the stupidity of
ordinary people. Back
in the day these stupid
people eventually did
something stupid and
died or were maimed
for life because of it.
This is the theory of
natural selection. In
short, it says those not
well suited for their
environment will
eventually become
extinct. Some people
believe that natural
selection has been
eradicated by today’s
medical
breakthroughs. I
believe that the cause
of stupidity is in fact
the warning labels
designed to prevent
stupid things from
occurring. If you do
not have enough
common sense to
know not to shower
with an electrical
appliance you deserve
what you get. Here are
a few different
warnings that should
not be necessary.

When flying on an airplane
an extensive
demonstration is given
on seatbelt operation.
If you have never used
a seatbelt before, or
are incompetent
enough not to
understand how it
works. you should only
be so lucky as to be
hurled from your seat.
Perhaps hitting your
head will knock
something into place.

Coffee is a HOT beverage.
Coffee is served HOT.
Caution: Coffee may
burn. Do you get the
point? It’s not like it's
a very difficult
concept. yet there is
still the need to
remind people that the
HOT cup of coffee you
ordered is you
guessed it HOT!

 

CAUTION: Knives are
sharp. (Found on a
package of kitchen
knives.) Urn duh!

Please remove before
driving. (0n the back
of a cardboard
windshield sunshade.)
It should read, "If
you're dumb enough to
drive with this in your
window, we hope that
you careen into a tree
so you don't injure any
intelligent people.”

This is NOT food! (On a
box of rat poison.)

Do NOT eat. (Enclosed
with a rubber bouncy
ball.)

Do NOT place your hands
under lawnmower.

Do NOT cut hedges with
lawnmower.

I hope you see my point.
For those of you who
have no clue what I'm
talking about. I hear
that showering in your
clothes is a sure-fire
way to remove
wrinkles.

Flooded demand

Short supply: Much of the world's water
supply can't be used with current technology

By Scott Sloan

STAFF WRITER

The world‘s growing popii
Iation has put a strain on a ti
nite supply of freshwater

Even though threefourths
of the world is water. the vast
majority of the water is oceati
salt water ()I' the freshwater
available. most is trapped in
frozen glaciers

The retnaining water must

sustain a global population of

around o” billion people

Of. this remaining fresliwa
ter. a great deal has been polliit
ed beyond treatment or popula
tions baye simply outgrown II

"Many parts of the world
have an abundance of water.
but it’s the quality of water
that‘s the problem." said Jim
Kipp. the interim director oi'the
Kentucky Water Research liisti
tute. "Worldwide ]water scarci
ty] is going to be a major issue
in the coming years “

l.indell ()rmsbee. the inter
itii director of I7K‘s Tracy
l’artnei' (‘enter for the Environ
ment and associate director of

the Kentucky Water Research
Institute. agreed,

“.-\s the eastern I'nitt-d
States continues to grow and de

velop. there will he a number of

problems that have never been
dealt with including the scarci
Iy of the water supply," ()rms
bee said

liven though water is a pic
cious commodity by itself.
ltrmsbee pointed out that
the scarcity of freshwater is
intercoiinected with many
other issues

"The availability of water
will altect the ability to pro
duce food in large quantities."
()rmsbee said "You can't
grow a lot of food without suf
ficient water."

()rmsbee said the western
['nited States already relies
heavily on irrigation to produce
food sources and the natural un
derground aquifers will be un
able to recharge if water coiitin
ties to be pumped frorii them

Water is also important
for wildlife and to help dilute
pollutants that might make
it into rivers and streams.
()rmsbee said,

Several summer
droughts have
prompted Lexing-
ton officlals to
address water
availability. As this
summer approach-
es, officials have
devised a plan to
stabilize lock and
dam No. to on the
Kentucky River, at

raising the water
level of lock and
dam No. 9. See the

Finding a way to quench our thirst

Crafty solutions: Reusing water and finding
it in unusual places helps satisfy water needs

By Scott Sloan

STAN WRITER

Necessity is the mother of
invention

This phrase describes the
recent efforts of environmental
ists across the globe to adapt to
the problems of water scarcity

These problems are (le-
creasing the required water de
mand and increasing the water
supply. said Lindell ()rmsbec.
the interim director of I'K's
Tracy Farmer (‘enter for the
Environment and :Isstit‘lllle (ll
rector of the Kentucky Water
Research Institute.

()rinsbee said solving these
problems would prove difficult
because of people's prevailing
attitudes regarding water

“People have always looked
at water as a free commodity.
especially in this area of the
country." he said.

Because of increased envi
ronmental awareness. most peo
ple are now beginning to realm-
that water will not necessarily

be as free a resource as it has
been.

To combat the scarcity
problem. environmentalists
across the globe have deyeloped
a number ot‘solutions aimed at
reducing demand and ltit‘l‘t‘as
mg supply

()ne innovator is the Irvine
Ranch Water llistrict in Irvine.
(‘alif

The company built a re
claimed water plant .‘llt years
ago. said Ilale l,essick. an Irvine
Ranch Water District water re
sources specialist Reclaimed
water is wastewater that is
treated but not to the high levels
required for potability

l,es,sick said the maturity of
the reclaimed water is used for
irrigation

Since irrigation water is
used mainly in the summer
months, the company tried to
find a use that would remain
steady all year long.

Its solution was the re
strooms in office towers around
the city

The company uses re
claimed water for toilet flushing
in company buildings and three
large office towers in the city

The company also has at
tempted to curb water demand
by implementing a progressive
rate structure that fines people
who overuse water.

Lessick said the rate strucr
ture has helped people learn to
use water tnore efficiently

The rate structure program
knows how much landscape a
person has on his property and
calculates a budget of how
much water should be used in
a month. Lessick said. Since
water use for landscapes is af-
fected by the weather. the pro-
gram takes the local weather
into account when factoring
the budget.

“It calculates how much
you should have used." liessick
said “If you used more than
that [amount]. you get progres
siye penalties."

Profit from the penalties
helps fund the company‘s con-
servation staff. Lessick said.

These are not the only inno»
vatiye solutions to the water

See SOLUTION on 2

Here's some easy
tips for home:

Don't pour water
down a drain it
you can use it for
another purpose,
such as watering
a plant.

Thaw frozen foods in
the refrigerator
rather than
defrosting them
with water.

Put food wastes in a
compost pile
instead of using
the garbage
disposal.

If you are only going
to wash two bed
sheets, do not
set the washing
machine load size
to large. Using
the appropriate
water level and
load size can
help cut down
your water bill.

Check for toilet
leaks by adding

improved

mechanisms
new

t s cori-

serve water.

food coloring to
the tank water. If
the colored
water appears in
the bowl. the
toilet is leaking.

Always remember
the "Rule of
Five." No more
than five inches
of water in the
tub or five
minutes in the
shower.

New shower
heads are a
cheap way to
i ova water
iency in
the bathroom.

instead of filling up
the tub to take a
bath, just take a
quick shower and
be sure to turn
off the water
while shampooing
your hair.

Water your lawn in
the morning or or
the evening,
before and after
the hottest parts
of the day to
prevent
evaporation.

In fact. Kentucky boasts
one of the most useful ideas
that utilizes the abandoned
coal mines of Eastern
Kentucky.

()rmshee said the Keir
tucky Geological Survey has
done research into the feasibil-
ity of extracting water from
these mines,

“You may have old aban-
doned mines that over time fill
up with ground water." he
said. "They basically become
very large reservoirs that may
be able to supply water for
communities ”

()rmsbee said the mines
are an easily accessible source
of water that can help sustain
a small community without

any high treatment costs
attached.

“There may be some mini-
mal amount of treatment, but
it wouldn't be as much as if
you Were using a surface
source such as a lake where
you can get pollutants and
have to separate [them] from
the water," ()rmsbee said. “All
you typically need to do is
chlorinate it."

The water quality would
not be a great deal different
since most rural populations
use well water. according to
()rmsbec.

This supply of water could
lower water costs in the cast-
ern part of the state. where
residents typically buy bottled
water to drink rather than
drinking the groundwater.

“Right now. you buy bot~
tled drinking water and it‘s
nearly the price of gasoline."

With federal funds and
participation came a mandate
to perform an environmental
impact statement. a report
that has yet to be released but
will examine environmental
and other effects of raising the
dam.

If the report recommends
raising the dam by four feet.
the state would be responsible
for acquiring property for the
addition. said Stephen Reeder.
director of the Kentucky Riv-

,Goors
Corrections

er Authority.

Before the dam can he
raised. the Army Corps of En-
gineers. which oversees the
project. must stabilize Ken-
tucky River lock and tlani No.
10. Even though Lexington
draws water frotii lock and
dam No. 9. the water iii No. it)
feeds No. 9. Reeder said.

(ierard Edelen. project
manager for the Army Corps
of Engineers. received a re-
port about the stabilization of
lock and dam No. 10 from a lo
cal engineering firm. The re-
port recommended moving
ahead with stabilizing the
dam atid then raising it. but
the corps must do the environ-
mental study first. he said.

“If there are three or four
methods of accomplishing
something. we'll look at costs,
benefits. reliability and if
there's risk associated with
any project." Edelen said.

History made fun
with new musical

Help me I've fallen: In spite of superfluous
dream sequences, ‘F ond Collins' a success

By Patrick Avery
ASSISTANT SCENi EDITOR

My high school once put on
a production of “West Side Sto
ry," And in that production
there was a dream sequence
that involved ballet dancers
that seemed really out ol~ place.
From then on l cursed musicals
that had pointless dream se
quences that made me laugh
rather than arlrl some extra sig
nilicance to the story.

So after watching ”Floyd
Collins." [IK‘s latest theater
production. it took a while to
look past the two useless dream
sequences between the main
character anrl his family. But
the goorl news is that I dropped
tny prejudices anrl found much
to like about this production.

l’loyd (‘ollins was a carer
who found himself" trapped in a
cave near Mammouth t‘aye. Ky

 

 

 

 

The story became a national
media portrait of a man whose
dreams were crushed when his
foot got stuck under a rock

The play. what some might
consider a country musical.
transcends any genre expecta-
tions. ”Floyd (‘ollins" is a story
that when we stop a minute to
put ourselves in his shoes. we
feel compassion and sympathy
for the tnain character.

Micah Logsdon plays the ti~
tle role with great passion anrl
conviction. Despite an open set
that doesn't really conyey what
it is like to be in a care. he
makes the audience believe that
he is actually trapped.

Beth (‘ollins shines in her
performance as Floyd‘s sister.
Her voice was one of the high
lights of the show

The casting problem lies
with I’loyd‘s brother Homer
Nathan Munsun is a

great

 

Punkisdead

singer. but is out of place in this
musical. His voice is best on the
opera stage.

The set is outstanding even
though it leaves everything
completely up to the imagina»
tion. Some may say that is what
plays are supposed to do. but it
is nice when sotne of the sets
completely transport you to a
certain time anrl place.

The lighting worked ex-
tremely well. (‘ertain back-
grounds that look like sunsets
anrl a scene where the stars
are in the sky and a light
comes from the heavens are
breathtaking.

The music numbers. direct
ed by Everett Mr‘t‘orvey. are for
the most part excellent The
standout number Is “Is That R...
markahle.” where three re
porters try to get the scoop on
Floyd‘s trapping.

You have to give director
.Iames Rodgers credit when it
comes to making a daring at-
tempt at good theater And for
the most part. he succeeds.

Massabor

Juan De Marcos Afro-
Cuban All-Stars will be
performing at 8 p.m.
Wednesday in the Stu-
dent Center Grand Ball-
room. Tickets are avail-
able at Ticketmaster or
