CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

Pilots noticed runway wasn't lit

Sean Rose
sroseOkykemelcom

Crew members of Flight
5191 noticed that they were us-
ing the unlit runway at Blue
Grass Airport before the Sunday
plane crash that killed 49 of the
50 people on board, investiga-
tors said.

The plane took off from the
wrong, shorter runway at the
airport, which is not used at
night or for commercial planes.
The plane took off shortly after
6 am. roughly an hour before
sunrise.

A witness to the crash said
the longer, correct runway was
lit.

The National Transportation
Safety Board has been gathering
information from interviews and
the cockpit flight recorder,
which is being studied in Wash-
ington. D.C.

Flight 5191 was cleared to
take off from the 7.000 foot long
Runway 22. Instead it taxied to
the 3,500-foot Runway 26 and
crashed 29 seconds after it start-
ed accelerating, said Debbie
Hersman, an NTSB member, in
a news conference last night.

Co~pilot
James Pole»
hinke. the
only survivor
of the crash.
was piloting
the aircraft
when it left
the runway.
H e r s m a it
said. He was still listed in criti-
cal condition at UK Chandler
Medical Center last night.

At least three of the victims
had UK ties.

Jon Hooker, 27. a former
UK baseball player, and his

wife. Scarlett Parsley, 23. a
graduate student in communica-
tion disorders. were on their
way to their honeymoon the
morning after their wedding.

Larry Turner. associate dean
of agricultural extension. was on
his way to a conference. He was
52.

The longer runway was
closed for repairs last week, at
which time the airport altered
the taxi pattems on the runway.

Hersman would not com-
ment on whether the change
played a factor in how the air-
craft ended up on the wrong

runway. but she said the investi-
gation team was looking into it.

“They‘re going to be look-
ing at runway markings. taxi
way directions; they’re going to
be looking at what can be seen
from the cockpit." Hersman
said.

She also said the in-flight
recorder and air-traffic control
tower tapes indicated that the
crew of Flight 519] knew which
runway they were scheduled to
use prior to take off.

“The plan discussed be-
tween the air-traffic controller
and the flight crew was about a

take off from Runway 22."
Hersman said. She added later
that there was “no reference to
Runway 26."

There was only one air-traf-
fic controller on duty when
Flight 5191 took off but Hers-
man said this was standard for
the airport and didn‘t break any
Federal Aviation Administration
regulations.

Two planes left the airport
before Flight 5191: both used
Runway 22.

Lt. Gov. to
speak on cancer
awareness

By ShannonMason

smason®kykerne| com

Kentucky Lt. Gov. Steve Pence makes his first stop on the
statewide campaign titled “Ending Cervical Cancer In Our Life-
time" at UK today.

Pence is seeking to spread the word that cervical cancer is
one type of cancer that can be beaten.

“Ending cervical cancer is our lifetime is possible."
said. “To beat this disease is a reality."

Pence and several UK healthcare officials will promote this
campaign on campus at 1 this aftemoon in front of the White
Hall Classroom Building It s the first in a series of campus vis—
its across the state.

Pence said the campaign is spon-
sored in conjunction with the National
Lieutenant Govemors Association.
which chooses a couple causes for all
the lieutenant govcmors to support na~
tionally. Kentucky is the first state to
launch the campaign.

A new vaccine. (iardasrl. approved
in June. prevents two strands of the Hu-
man Papillomavirus .- a sexually trans
mitted virus that causes 70 percent of
cervical cancer cases. The vaccine also
prevents two other strands of HPV that
cause 90 percent of genital warts.

Dr. Greg Moore. director of University Health Services. who
will also be speaking at the news conference. said the vaccine is
not effective in preventing all strands of the virus and causes of
cervical cancer. but said it was “pretty good."

The vaccine has been approved for use in worrren ages 9 to 26.

“ldeally we‘d like to give it to l2 to 13—year-old girls be—
cause they haven‘t had sex yet and haven‘t been exposed."
Moore said. adding that the college age group is also a good
group to target.

The only downside to receiving the Gardasil vaccine is that
it is expensive. Moore said. Complete vaccination requires re~
ceiving three doses over a period of six months. Unhersity
Health Services offers the vaccine for $120 per dose .2 that is
$360 for the complete vaccine.

Considering what the vaccine has been prov en to do “it‘s not
a bad investment." Moore said. He advrsed students to check
with their own insurance companies to see if they cover the cost
of the vaccine.

Moore said the fact that Gardasil was recently approved
makes promoting cervical cancer awareness especially timely

“Having another weapon in the cervical cancer light makes it
newsworthy." he said. “There are few cancers we can prevent.
but cervical cancer is one of them."

Each year cervical cancer is responsible for the deaths of
4.000 women nationwide and another H.000 are diagnosed with
the disease and the way to beat the disease is to raise awareness.
Pence said.

Moore added that not havmg regular Pap smears and being
sexually active with multiple partners increases the chances of
contracting the disease.

cancers we can
prevent, but

Woodson named starting quarterback

Backup might not be

flJomtlianSmith

ismithOkvkemeleom

A year ago, junior quarterback Andre
Woodson fumbled away the season opener
against Louisville.

On Sunday night at Papa John‘s Cardi-
nal Stadium. he‘ll have his shot at redemp-
tion.

With only five days
until kickoff. head coach
Rich Brooks finally an-
nounced Woodson as his
starter yesterday. ending
months of jockeying for
the spot between the in-
eumbent Woodson, and
sophomore spark-plug
Curtis Pulle .

“This vyvas not an womb“
easy decision." he said.

“it was something that I think we went
back and forth on a couple of times in the
past three weeks. I feel very confident
about both of their ability to go in and play

very good football for us this season."

Although Woodson will start the game
under center, Pulley will also see time on
the field. Brooks said.

“I fully expect both of them to play in
the game.“ he said. “(There is) no designat—
ed plan as to a two quarterback rotation.
but more on a feel for what‘s happening in
the game and determining whether it be
early. late or at all."

Brooks said he went with Woodson be-
cause of his knowledge of the offense and
ability as a pocket passer.

“His ability to throw the ball deep
(contributed to the decision)." he said.
“(With) his overall passing skills...we felt
confident that Andre is managing the of-
fense better at this point.“

Woodson started all 11 games last sea-
son. finishing with a 57.7 completion per-
centage and six touchdowns.

Pulley played sparingly during his
freshman season. attempting only 50 pass-
es. He was more effective on the ground.

finishing third on the team in yards gained.
while rushing for three touchdowns.

By the end of spring practice. Pulley
was starting with the first team offense. He
couldn‘t do much to distance himself from
Woodson in the annual Blue/White spring
scrimmage - Pulley was 9—for-1] for 63
yards. while Woodson was 8-for-ll for 7l
yards.

“It seemed like when one of them
slipped a little bit. the other one slipped al-
most on the same day." Brooks said.

Brooks said Woodson took the lead
during the summer by organizing practice
sessions. and becoming more of a leader.

In fall camp. Pulley inched back in the
picture in part because of his athleticism
and versatility. stretching the decision of
who was to start the first game over a five
month span.

Woodson said that competing for the
quarterback position made him a better
player.

Robert Haven knows how to
set the stage.

Although you won’t see him
acting. his custom-made cos-
tumes play a major role in every
UK Theatre Department produc-
tion. These costumes are on dis-
play in an exhibition called
“Dressing the Stage“ at the Tus-
ka Gallery for Contemporary
Art in the Fine Ans building on
campus.

The exhibition. which will
last through Wednesday. repre-
sents five years of Haven's work
as the Costume Director for the
department.

A variety of costumes are
on display. from Japanese ki-
monos to Elizabethan dresses.
all custom-made for specific ac—
tors. ‘

Haven. who came to the
University of Kentucky in 2000.
said he wanted to have the exhi-
bition to show people exactly
what he does.

“My trademark is adding
embroidery." Haven said.
adding that such details are of—
ten lost on stage. Having the ex-
hibition is a way to show the in-
tricateness of these costumes.

Although he loves his work.
Haven said it can take a great
deal of time to make the cos—
tumes look authentic. One of the
pieces on display is a kimono
Haven made for the UK Opera
Theatre Production “Madama
Butterfly."

“It took seven months just to
do the embroidery on it." Haven
said. The piece has three em-
broidered symbols typical to a
wedding kimono.

From teaching verbs to making costumes

ANDREW HUGGINS | STAFF

Assistant Professor Robert Haven currently has an exhibit of theater costumes in the Tuska Center for Contempo-
rary Arts. The show ends Wednesday. The costumes in the show represent about five years of work, with some
costumes taking thousands of hours to make.

of making productions at UK
run smoothly and helping audi-

ences enjoy the experience of

going to a play.

There are usually four plays
throughout the year and Haven
and his students create a wide
variety and number of costumes
for each.

"Last spring we built I4
complete period outfits for men
and women." Haven said. Some
plays may only require two out-
fits to be made.

No matter the number or the
style of the costume. and no
matter how long it will be on—
stage. Haven takcs great pride in
each costume. Included in the
exhibit is a wedding dress from
the production "Intimate Appar—
cl " Even though the dress was

only onstage for about two min—
utes. Haven said he gave the
same amount of attention that
dress as he did to the others. Un—
der the dress was a matching
embroidered petticoat and
corset.

Haven realized costumes
were his passion well alter grad-
uating in 1973 from Keene State
College in Keene. NH. with an
English degree. He spent nearly
20 years teaching Sth grade
English.

It was after his third year of
teaching that he discovered he
loved working on costumes and
he made a career shift. He
taught himself to sew and began
making costumes.

“I figured if I couldn‘t make
a living making costumes. I

 

 

could always go back to conju—
gating verbs." Haven said.

Ha\cn has won many
awards with his costume cori—
struction. He won first place in
the adult division for surface
embroidery at an embroidery
exposition in 2002. and won
third place and an honorable
mention in following years.

Haven also teaches makeup
and costume construction class~
es at UK. He is writing his first
book and studying Japanese em—
broidery in Atlanta.

But no matter how busy he
gets. Haven said he always
strives to ensure that his cos-
tumes make a big impact and
positively influence our experi»
cnccs at I'K productions.

CRASH

Continued from page 1

CRJ-lOO at the time of take-off
Sunday. the plane would need
3,539 feet —— 39 feet less than
what was available on the shon-
er runway — to even accelerate
to a speed where it could begin
preparations for take-off. Hers-
man said. Even more distance is
needed to become airborne.
Ground scars matching the

 

three wheels of the plane were
found at the end of the shorter
runway on Sunday. The plane
broke through the airport securi-
ty fence around the property,
390 feet off the runway. It then
hit a hill, sending the plane air-
borne briefly before it hit nearby
trees. Hersman said.

The fire, which Fayette
County Corner Gary Ginn ex—
pects to have contributed to the
deaths of all the passengers and
two crew members, did not start
until after impact.

It is still unknown whether

the crew realized they were on
the wrong runway during their
take off process. The flight data
recorder captured the captain
calling out two routine check-
points of air speed during accel—
eration.

“We didn't see any evidence
of breaking." Hersman said.

She said the investigation
team will spend today inter-
viewing the air-traffic controller
who was on duty and running
other tests to try to re-create the
exact conditions of Sunday
morning.

 

QUARTEBBACK

Continued from page 1

“I think this year knowing
that I have been pressured for
that spot I have improved my
game just by pushing myself.“
Woodson said. “1 know there's
somebody behind me just as
good as me competing for the
same spot."

Other members of the team
said they were confident in both
quarterbacks.

“You can’t keep both of
them off of the field,“ junior
wide receiver Keenan Burton

 

said. “Both of them have to play
because both of them have so
many great talents."

Brooks expresses sorrow

In the wake of yesterday‘s
plane crash that killed 49 of the
50 people aboard at Lexington‘s
Blue Grass Airport, Rich Brooks
began the press conference by
offering his condolences.

“Obviously what we’re dis-
cussing here today pales in com-
parison to the human tragedy
that has affected our community
and our state,“ he said. “I think
sometimes events that take place

put a whole lot of other things in
perspective.

“My heart and thoughts and
prayers go out to all of the fami-
lies of the affected people. it‘s
just a very. very difficult thing to
be dealing with."

Wide receivers lose two
more

Sophomore wide receiver
Joe Joe Brown and freshman
wide receiver Darrell Stevens
are out for the year with injuries.
Brown was listed on the third
team, while Stevens was not on
the depth chart because he is a
freshman.

 

PULLEY

Continued from page 1

College football fans, and
especially those in Central Ken-
tucky, love the unknown. UK
football enthusiasts. who have
seen back—to—back winning sea-
sons only twice in the last 50
years, are bred to believe that
the backup quarterback has to be
better than the current product
on the field.

With that in mind, you can
bet there will be heavy pressure
on Brooks to insert Pulley as
soon Woodson’s shoes come un-
tied. The coach acknowledged
as much yesterday.

“I fully expect both of them
will play." he said. “There is no
designated plan. It‘s more of a
feel during the game."

What does that mean? Will
Pulley’s presence on the front
row of the sideline force Wood—
son to play afraid to make a
mistake? What is the breaking
point for a change?

These are the questions that
dog every quarterback contro-
versy. Brooks did not say a
whole lot yesterday to quash
them.

“I feel very good about both
of their ability to play good foot—
ball during the season." he said.

By all accounts. Woodson
won the job by being the
smarter, more experienced play—
er. His struggles last year have
made him a more mature quar—
terback and leader, and this
young but experienced Cats
team needs a steady hand under
center.

Junior quarterback Andre Woodson passes in last season's home loss to
Auburn. Rich Brooks chose Woodson over sophomore Curtis Pulley to start
Sunday's season opener against Loursville.

”We felt confident that An-
dre is managing the offense at
this point." Brooks said.

So the questions. then. re—
main: How confident? How
long is Woodson's leash on Sun
day night and throughout the
season?

Barring injury or ineptitude.
that leash should be as long as it
needs to be for Woodson to play
comfortably and confidently.
None of us perform as well with
someone looking over our shoul-
ders. Woodson is no different.

Wide receiver Keenan Bur-
ton said yesterday that Pulley is
too talented to keep off the iield.

Agreed.

Use him as an athletic offen—
sive weapon. much the same as
the Steelers used Antvvaan Ran-
dIe—EI last season. But do not
play musical quarterbacks.

“I'm sure (Pulley) will see
some action at quarterback."
Brooks said.

Let‘s hope not.

After all. we need someone
to love.

 

Karr won't be charged in death of JonBenet

By Amy Goldstoin and IR. Reid
THE WASHINGTON POST

BOULDER. Colo—Prose-

John Mark Karr in the decade
old killing of JonBenet Ramsey
on Monday. abruptly ending a
l2-day whirlwind that reached
halfway around the globe and
riveted public attention over
whether the slaying of the child

solved.

Less than two hours before a

41-year«old teacher was to have
been charged with murder, the
Boulder County district attomey
announced that investigators had
not gathered enough evidence

against him. In court documents

Attorney Mary Lacy said that
Karr's DNA did not match sam—
ples from the crime scene and
that family members had pro—
vided “circumstantial evidence"
that he had been with them in
Atlanta during Christmas in
I996 when the six—year—old girl
was killed.

At mid~aftemoon. a sheriff‘s
deputy went to Karr‘s cell in the
Boulder jail and told him he was
being released. The deputy was
driving Karr to an undisclosed
location in town but turned
around and brought him back to
jail: Boulder Sheriff Joe Pelle
said he had just received a tele-
type from law enforcement offi—

cials in Sonoma County. Calif.
that they wanted Karr trans—
ferred there. Karr faces an out—
standing arrest warrant in
Petaluma. Calif. on unrelated
misdemeanor charges from 2001
of having child pomography on
his computer.

Legal experts who have fol-
lowed the Ramsey casc over the
years disagreed over whether
the prosecutor had botched the
investigation by arresting Karr.
But both critics and defenders of
the district attomey said that the
dramatic and confusing events
of recent days may make it more
difficult for prosecutors to win a
conviction if a more compelling
suspect is found.

ew extraction method changes stem cell debate

When President Bush restricted federal
funding for stem cell research in 2001. he
claimed he opposed "providing taxpayer fund-
ing that would sanction or encourage further
destruction of human embryos that have at
least the potential for life.“ Last week. the sci-
entific community addressed Mr. Bush‘s ex—
pressed moral concern in a study reported in
the journal Nature. revealing a new method for
extracting embryonic stem cells that its backers
say poses no additional risk to human embryos.

But instead of embracing the potential of
the new procedure. which might be a way of
advancing stem cell research without destroy-
ing potential humans. the president registered
his concerns about using any new embryonic
material for scientific research. "Any use of
human embryos for research purposes raises
serious ethical concerns. This technique does

not resolve those concems." the White House
said. “The President is hopeful that with time
scientists can find ways of deriving cells like
those now derived from human embryos but
without the need for using embryos.“

Later. a White House spokeswoman tried to
backpedal. insisting that Mr. Bush is waiting
for expert reviews of the study's findings be-
fore making any final judgments. Yet the presi—
dent‘s initial statement on the matter indicates
that he will search for new ~ and far less conv
vincing v reasons to keep federal coffers shut
front stem cell researchers.

The new method of gathering stern cells in-
volves taking a single cell from a young em—

bryo of around eight cells. a procedure that
does not kill the embryo as earlier methods of
stem cell extraction did, said Robert Lanza, the
lead researcher. According to Ronald M.
Green. director of Dartmouth College‘s Ethics
Institute. the new method allows researchers to
create stem cells as byproducts of a standard
procedure in fertility clinics. There doctors of-
ten take one cell from eight-cell embryos to
test for genetic defects such as Down syn~
drome. The rest of the embryo can grow into a
normal human child. according to all available
scientific evidence. Instead of immediately
conducting the genetic test on the extracted
cell. doctors can allow it to multiply overnight.
use one of the resulting cells for the genetic
analysis and create brand-new stem cell lines
from the others.

As with any scientific breakthrough. the

country has to wait for other scientists to suc-
cessfully repeat the experiment to verify that
the procedure will work. Researchers should
also be prepared to respond to critics of the
landmark scientific report. such as Richard Do-
erflinger of the US. Conference of Bishops.
But if this new process is demonstrated to be
viable. Mr. Bush can easily articulate rules that
would allow federal funding for research on
stem cells gathered harmlessly when cells are
to be taken for genetic testing anyway. Then
stem cell research on a range of debilitating
and deadly diseases could finally proceed
faster in the United States. On the other hand,
sticking to his disappointing rhetoric of last
week would unfairly raise the ethical bar Mr.
Bush set in 2001 for America's stem cell scien-
tists and continue to stunt the growth of this
valuable field of study.
