‘It 3 their job’

Parking staﬁf: People
need to follow policies

By Karrie Ralston
.Sfrl-ﬂ‘ H 'I‘Ift'l‘

It's a dirty iob, but sotttebody has
to do it.

\Vriting between 55-60 parkittg
tickets a day. the job of a L'K park-
ing control officer isn’t always a
pleasant one. But for ()fficer (lar—
land Pope, the job tnttst be taken
seriously.

“Parking is so had over here (at
UK), you have to enforce the
rules," he said.

There aren't enough parkittg
places on catttpus, Pope said. But
that doesn't give stttdents the right
to park illegally, he said.

Don ’l‘hornton, director of park—
ing and transportation services,
understands there isn‘t enottgh
parking on campus. The students
think the solution to the problem is
to bttild a parking strttctttre,
Thornton said. But he said stu-
dents (lon‘t recognize the cost.

“The newest parking structure
between Kennedy’s and the service
area cost $10 million," Thornton
said.

Thornton encourages anybody
with suggestions to leave them on
the parking and transportation ser-
vices homepage at
www.uky.edu/parking/.

“\Vhat students have to realize is
that the parking situation is tnttch
better than it was 10 years ago,"
Thornton said.

“Most of (the students) appreci-

ate tts. because tttost of them follow
the rules. “'e're clearing spots for
them," Pope said.

Pope said being lenient on ille-
gally parked cars isn‘t fair for peo-
ple who have hanging tags and
don't have spots.

Tara Patterson, a communica—
tions freshman, agrees the parking
patrols are just doing their job.

“But they tend to go overboard a
lot. When someone is parked ille-
gally for 30 tttintttes to load their
car, they shouldn’t be subject to a
parking ticket." she said.

Patterson was twice ticketed
under similar circumstances.

Sarah Fischer, a psychology
junior, said it is the university"s
responsibility to provide enough
parking bttt said she feels some
rctttorse for the parking department
who has to face the consequences.

“But it is their job and they have
to do it." Fischer said.

To avoid having your car ticket—
ed or towed, Pope offers sortie sitti—
ple advice.

“L'se your old noggin‘ and you
won't get a ticket. And park your
cars ri ht." lfyou do get ticketed,
pay it. C said.

In a job like his, Pope can’t
maintain tttttch remorse.

“No matter what the excuse,
they still parked illegally and they
got caught," he said.

(Iontrary to popular belief, park-
ing patrol officers don’t have a
quota.

“A qttota prevents you front
doing your job." Pope said. “\Ve try
to do ottr job."

The tow truck workers have a
similar settse of responsibility.

“That's their jobs," Pope said.
“\Ve work together with them to
get the job done."

Students have been known to
leave notes on their cars' dash-
boards or windshields, to leave the
blinkers going or to keep old tickets

ment officer Gar»

on their cars. But that doesn’t pre—
vent those cars frottt getting tickets.

“\Ve still have to give you a tick-

ly," Pope said.

The worst problem spot is the
(26 lot in front of Lexington Com-
tttttnity College, Pope said. He said
students try to park with K permits
~— or no permits at all.

Star pleads
guilty in hit,
nun incident

By Mat Herron

.Vt’ll’x lid/Ior

L'K basketball poittt guard \\'ayne 'l‘urner was arraigned
last 'l‘uesday fora hit and rttn accident last semester.

According to district cottrt records, police charged Turner
with leaving the scene of an accident and not
having insurance when he hit an occupied
autoutobile on South Broadway at Pine Street
in his l98‘ ’l‘oyota (Iorolla on Sept. 16. 1997.

The car was ttot registered to Turner, but
to a relative, said Commonwealth's >\ttorney
.\largaret Kaunensohn. llcr assistant .Iack
.\liller said to his knowledge only one person
was in the carat the time'l‘urner‘s car hit it.

In court Turner issued an Alford plea, Turner
which means the defendant does ttot admit
guilt btit believes the m‘ldettcc could convict him, she said.

Turner could have been charged with a hit and rtttt and
been hit with a tttore scriotts penalty, bttt his cooperation with
the courts led to a lesser charge, Kattnensohn said: SW itt
court costs. The complainant could still file a civil stttt against
Turner. The statute oflimitations on such a sttit is two years.

The case did not go to court quickly because it took
time rounding up witnesses. she said.

“It took a lot of investigation," Kannensohn said. “;\t
one poittt. maybe a month ago, there was one witness ottt.
that to my satisfaction needed to be found."

If anything. she said, the accident was a learning experi-
ence for 'l'urner.

“People goof up sometimes and through his plea he has
now entered the world of adulthood.“ she said. “I le took .1
case that cottld have been pretty scriotts. and by his owtt
cooperation, tttade it acceptable."

L'K Sports Information Director Brooks Downing said
he did not know about the incident and could itot cottuttent

on the arrest. Head coach Tubby Stuitlt. who was ottt of

town yesterday. has denied all media requests for player
interviews until the end of the semester.

Jason Kuhlman, 1997-1998 president of the Student

way for students to etthancc campus environment.

“It shows students. iii a tangible form. the benefits of

giving back to the university," he said. “The plaques put the

Music has taken Sue Foley on a
whirlwind trek down a long,
winding road.

The road be an in Ottawa,
Ontario, where slie grew up, and
winds down throu h Austin,
'l‘exas, before landing her at home
in (Ianada once again.

Foley grew up with a musical

At a very young age. Susan
Foley got the blues.

It didn’t take her long to catch
on in the Ottawa blues scene,
being what it was and all. She did,
however, get noticed by noted
blues songstress Angela Strehli.

Strehli immediately saw the
potential in the young Canadian
and brought her south where she
could get a blues education prop-
er

The music on XVIII/”I’M has a
much more grown~up feel than
that on ”Ir/k In The Sun, her last
album.

The superb guitar
work stays the same how-
ever. Foley has been said
to be a cross between
Lightnin‘ Hopkins and
Stevie Ray Vaughn.

She could possibly be
the best female guitarist
out there. (But then it‘s
not like she has that
much competition.)

The best song on the

il‘hat desire to do more than
most female guitarists drove Foley
to a rather unconventional form of
music for someone with her back—

Tavern gives Redman a
place to show his wares

By Chad Adams

Contributing M’ritrr

The setting is timeless.

The flags of southern states
hang from giant wooden beams
that date back to forgotten rail~
road days.

Neon beer lights glow over-
head; while a bug-eyed Barney
Fife poster oversees all. One
onl ’ needs to read the sign to
understand, “Dixie Tavern. A
Southern Tradition.”

Located in South Hill Sta-
tion, Dixie Tavern is the only
one of its kind in Lexington: an
on—campus college-geared bar
featuring southern rock and
country music Thursday
through Saturday. It also serves
as home base or a singer as
unique as the bar itself: Larry
Redman.

Last Thursday was a typical
southern night in Dixie. The
music was loud, the crowd was
wild, and the atmosphere was
electric.

Redman, once again, deliv-
ered a solid performance, as he
picked and pounded out original
music, classic countr and west-
ern, and timeless roc hits. Red—
man originals, and crowd
favorites, such as “Garth Brooks
Ain’t Playin’ Here Tonight” and
“Another Bluegrass Mornin’”

were mixed with classic covers
of everyone from Hank Jr. to
Bob Segar.

Redman’s shows are like a
double shot of country with a
rock ‘n’ roll chaser. Sometimes
it's David Allan Cole, and other
times it’s more like Jimmy Buf-
fett, but one thing’s for certain
and constant, the performance
is all Redman.

Redman comes by his perfor-
mances honestly, as his early
musical inﬂuences include Elvis,
Chuck Berry, the Beatles, Hank
Williams, and Jimmy Roberts.
And oh yeah, his dad played the
ﬁddle.

These inﬂuences, along with
growing up on a Bourbon Coun—
ty farm helped Redman realize
early on that the “two things I
knew I alwa s wanted to do were
music and t e farm.”

Today, he does both. When
he isn’t playin at the tavern or
elsewhere, Re man runs a 300+
acre farm where he tends to beef
cattle and feed corn. “Soon, I’ll
be bailing hay too.” For Red-
man, this life represents the best
of both worlds.

“I’m very fortunate that I get
to live where I want to live and
do what I want to do,” he said.
“In the summertime I ride my
Harley, it’s all a release. You
don’t get too much of one. I’ve

Redman’s two albums, Sour};

“Before I was old enoug to get

his original music. “I cover writ—

Glassy-eyed after weeks of

new ailments on “ER" and new

that’s all the May sweeps period

Sweeps mean excess, because
the ratings are used to set local ad

Besides fresh episodes we get

Former Bat still
looking for home

By Chris Easterllno

Sen/or Stuﬂ‘u’nter

CLEVELAND — If it
wasn 't for one shining moment
in October the toils of April
tnight have been too tnuch for
former UK star Jitii Leyritz to
tolerate.

Down by three with two on
and two out in the eighth inning
of Game Four 11f the 1996
\Yorld Series with the New York
Yankees trailing Atlanta two
games to one, Leyritz turned on
a hanging slider from Braves
closer \lark Vi ohlers and hit it
over the left field wall to tie the
game up

The Yankees went on to win
the game in 10 innings, and
take the championship in six
games.

Since that shining moment in
the Fall Classic Leyritz — who
played at L K in 1985 —— has gone
from the role player in the Big
Apple to the full- time catcher in
Anaheim to being lvan
Rodriguez’s backup in Texas to a
part—time designated hitter in
Boston.

“(My career’s) kind of gone
full Circle," Leyritz said while the
Red Sox were in town for a
weekend series with the Cleve-
land Indians.

“I go to Anaheim and
become a full- time player then
I come back to Boston thinking
l'll be a full-time player and
instead I’m back to where l was
before.”

But having that memory,
and the shiny World Champi~
onship ring along with it, has
made the time spent on the
bench in Boston a little less
frustrating.

“The situation that I’m in
here (in Boston) is easier to
accept because of the World
Series ring ”he said.

“You on t necessarily have

to be a hero in April and May,
just be patient a little bit and
see what happens."

PatienLe has defined 1 eyritl. as

Since then, he

“That (playing catcher) was
the biggest motivation for sign-
ing here,” Leyritl said.

“The biggest disappointment
for me is that I had my best year
catchin I last year."

Btit e has not been given a
chance to follow up that year
with the Sox, 11s he has once
again been forced
into a platoon situa-
tion.

This time, it's with
Reggie Jefferson at
the designated hitter
spot.
