an wants theater back

By JODI WHITAKER
Staff Writer

More than a month after the Ken-
tucky Theatre closed due to fire
damage, management and fans of
the theater are having to play the
waiting game until the Kentucky re-
opens.

One fan of the Kentucky, Wade
Crabb. decided he didn't want to
wait any longer.

Wade formed the “Friends of the
Kentucky.“ an organization bemoan-
ing the lack of quality movies in
Lexington since the Kentucky
Theatre closed.

Crabb has gotten together a peti-
tion which he says will be a “chance
for patrons to express their pleasure
of the Kentucky and encourage the
restoration of the Kentucky as soon
as possible.“

The petition. which is being
mailed to the main office of the Ken-
tucky Theatre in Louisville, states
that "we the undersigned patrons of
the Kentucky Theatre wish to ex-
press to the owners of the Kentucky

Theatre our appreciation for the out-
standing program of films which has
been offered here in Lexington.

“Your excellent management has
helped make this historic landmark
into one of our most cherished local
institutions. We are distressed by
the recent fire and damage to the
Kentucky building. It is our hope
that you will be able to quickly re-
store the theater and open again to
the public as soon as possible.“

Crabb became concerned with the
process of restoring the Kentucky
when he noticed there wasn't as
much activity going on at the the-
ater initially after the fire.

Most of the damage done to the
Kentucky was caused by smoke and
water. A thick layer of soot remains
on the floors throughout the Ken-
tucky, and the amount of work that
will have to be done to get the the-
ater back in shape is obvious.

Fred Mills. manager of the Ken-
tucky Theatre. said that besides the
carpet having to be replaced and the
floors having to be cleaned. all the
walls will have to be washed, sealed
and repainted.

All the machines in the concession
area will have to be taken apart and
cleaned and the seats in the audito-
rium will have to be re-upholstered
or replaced as Mills said he isn’t
sure that they can be cleaned.

The screen in the main theater,
Lexington’s largest, was destroyed
by the fire and will have to be re-
placed along with the screen in Mov-
ies On Main, the adjoining theater.

Complete reconstruction will have
to be done to the men's restroom
and the offices which were com-
pletely destroyed by fire. Mills said.

Petitions are being circulated at
businesses around Lexington includ-
ing Cut Corner Records. Every-
body‘s Natural Food & Deli. Sqecial
Media. Bear's Wax Record Ex-
change. Joe Bologna‘s on W. Max-
well, Kinko‘s Copies, Stuffem‘s Inc.
and Lynaugh‘s Pub.

“We need to let the management
know that we support them.“ said
Crabb. who moved into the down—
town Lexington area to be within
walking distance of the Kentucky.

Crabb has also gone door-to-door
with petitions, receiving a lot of sup-

Anieling is renowned for her
inspired interpretation of art songs.

breaking down many barriers that
separate pop and art vocalists.

Ameling‘s 198887 schedule includ-
ed an extended recital tour of Italy
plus recitals in New York, Boston,
London and Toronto ()ne of the

art of lieder singing. This refers to
hundreds of thousands of lied songs

All-American Ede
running like a Cat

By STEVE HARDY
Staff Writer

The English beat of runner Rich-
ard Ede is catching on at UK. Espe-
cially with Cross-Country coach Don
Weber.

Ede has finally taken center stage
this year and the tune just gets
sweeter.

The junior All-American from
Barnet, England has had a stran-
glehold on the Southeastern Confer-
ence since his arrival at UK in 1985.
And he shows no signs of loosening
his grip.

Weber thinks Ede has emerged as
one of the most prolific runners in
SEC — ever.

“He's obviously one of the most
dominant runners in the history of
the SEC,” Weber said. “I can‘t
imagine him not being the most
dominant ever. "

Ede‘s era of dominance includes a
1986 SEC crosscountry
championship and a SEC 5.000-
ineter championship in track last
spring. in 1985 he was runner-up in
the SEC cross-country meet.

For his efforts last year. Ede was
named AllAmerican. But that
doesn‘t mean he‘s slowed down this
fall.

On Oct. 26. Ede won his second
consecutive SEC title at the confer-
ence meet in Nashville. Tenn.

For the second consectutive year
Ede captured the men's crown with
atimeof 24:17.

“l'm happy about it.” Ede said.
“It was just a fact of knowing I
could do it

Ede doesn't like to boast but he
admits he knew he could win. That's
just a confidence a runner needs.

“I didn‘t feel as good as I thought
I should have." Ede said. ”l just
needed to motivate myself. "

Weber already expects Ede to
bring home his third title next year.
Nobody has won three consecutive
SEC crowns since the 1930s.

“And I'll guarentee you the com-
petition is a lot tougher now,“
Weber said.

That pressure doesn‘t seem to
bother Ede. He is too concerned
with team goals to let his success go
to his head.

“Right now we are in the frame of T“. i .1 -.
mind of getting back and beating the ‘ “ ~

teams that beat us in the confer-
ence." Ede said.

“i try not to worry about the indi-
vidual pressure.“

But as Ede's beat rolls on he'll be
competing to qualify in the NCAA
nationals. That‘s something he has
been looking forward to all season.

“I think he‘ll qualify." Weber
said. "And he‘ll be near the top.”

Earlier this season. the nationals
seemed a long way off. Ede was sut.
fering from a severe sore throat that
caused him to drop out of one race
and miss another.

But the sickness may have been a
blessing in disguise. Missing the
races motivated Ede. And his show.
ing at Nashville leaves little doubt
that he is back in full gear.

“i feel strong now," Ede said.
“Actually getting sick may have
done me good. Watching everyone
else racing makes you want to race
more."

COURTESY OF SPORTS INFORMATION

UK junior Richard Ede returned from an early season illness to
capture his second consective SEC cross country title

It certainly made Ede hungry.
He's come back to lead the men‘s
team in every race he has finished
this year.

In leading the men's team at UK.
Ede has not found that much of a
difference in the competition in
linited States.

He says the major adjustment was
becoming accustomed to a different
style of living.

‘You don‘t know what your com-
ing into when you step off the
plane." Ede said.

However. he does know that the
nationals are coming up soon. That‘s
something the All-American is a bit
more accustomed to. Weber thinks
sotoo.

“Right now he is at his peak phys-
ically and mentally,“ Weber said.

That could be bad news for the
other runners at the Nationals who
line up next to Richard Ede.

The precipitation would continue

smoke and ashes from the air. a
condition that limited visibility to

forest fires within a week if there is

Until Collins lifted restrictions on
forest lands Monday, anyone other
than owners. tenants and people en-
gaged in public business could have
been fined $500 for venturing into
the forest.

“Rains throughout Kentucky in
the last 24 hours have relieved the
immediate danger of fires in the for-
est areas." Collins said in a pre-
pared statement from her office.
“Residents still need to be advised
that after the rain, conditions could
develop for the possibility of more
fires.“

The governor’s action did not af-
fect another restriction that limits
outdoor burning to the hours of 4:30
pm. to midnight.

According to Department of Fish
and Wildlife Resources officials, the
action meant deer hunting season
could proceed. Bow hunting is now
legal and the gun season was sched-

Bergmann said two deaths were
blamed on the fires. flames from the
forest ignited blazes at 10 houses.
