When Earth Day 1992 arrived
yesterday, there were fewer public
festivities and more emphasis on
programs to actually improve the
environment.

Instead of having an observance
or a celebration, “a lot of commu-
nities are cleaning up roadsides.
having bag-a-thons," said Faun
Fishback, a spokeswoman for the
state Natural Resources and Envi-
ronmental Protection Cabinet.

“Instead of people simply say-
ing the Earth is beautiful, they're
doing something to make it beauti-
ful."

The trend was the same nation-
ally, with little of the fanfare that
greeted the 20th anniversary of
Earth Day in 1990.

Two years ago, activities were
more like a “wake-up call,“ said
Bruce Anderson, president of
Earth Day USA. This year, things
are geared more “to getting the job
done“ to improve the environ-
ment, Anderson said.

Some Kentucky communities
also are postponing official obser~
vances until the weekend because

‘Getting the job done’
focus of Earth Day ’92

Earth Day fell in the middle of the
week this year.

Lexington is having no official
observance but will sponsor a haz-
ardous waste workshop Saturday
in honor of Earth Day.

The session will teach environ—
mentally conscious methods for
disposing of common hazardous
chemicals as well as offer tips on
buying environmentally safer
products.

Another reason for the absence
of a public Earth Day observance
is that the city’s environmental ef—
forts are being devoted to continu-
ing projects.

This month, Lexington is dis-
tributing household recycling
bins, called Rosies, to more
homes. Residents are asked to fill
the bins with glass, plastic, alumi»
num cans, white paper and news-
papers to be collected by the city.

Lexington recycling coordinator
Steve Feese said the Rosies, first
distributed last year, have recy-
cled more than l,5l)() tons of ma-
tcrial. Lexington annually produc-
es 300,000 tons of garbage.

Up .1 Lazy Fliver
Leon Redbone
August Records

By N. ALAN CORNETI’
Editorial Editor

Leon Redbone has just re-
leased the follow-up to his best
album ever, and while it does not
live up to the quality of its prede-
cessor, Up 0 Lazy River keeps in
the Redbone lush tradition.

Redbone began recording in
the mid-19705 blending covers
of standards and his own songs
with his unique and unmistaka-
ble style. He reached a zenitl.
with his 1990 release.Sugar, an
album that almost is flawless.

You've all seen Redbone in
his many television commercials.
most recently his Geo car ads.
(You probably remember his
beer ads. too). Clad in white suit
and Panama hat. sunglasses al-
ways covering his eyes. Redbone
seems to mumble through every
tune. yet you can understand all
the words that his deep. rich
voice gurgles.

Redbone is a master of sleepy.
Sunday afternoon music. His al-
bums seem tnade for lounging in
the sun. reading a gwd book and
sipping lemonade.

Up (1 Lazy River opens with
the brooding “Play Gypsy Play“
then brings you into a bouncing
rendition of “At the Chocolate
Bon Bon Ball." He throws in an-
other version of “Mr. Jelly Roll
Baker.“ a song he originally re-

Redbone’s ‘Lazy River’
keeps with sleepy style

corded for his 1977 album Dou-
ble Time. This version is tighter
than the earlier one and shows
how Redbone has developed his
style over the past 15 years.

“That Old Familiar Blues" IS
the same kind of understated but
powerful song as “Breeze,”
which stood out on Sugar. He
closes the fine IZ-song collec-
tion with “I‘m Going Home." a
typically strong Redbone piece
that makes you want to go out
and by the rest of his albums.

Redbone‘s music is reminis-
cent of the smaller jazz/blues
groups, which performed before
the second World War. and a lot
of his tracks are arrangements of
traditional songs from years ago.
The style really is impossible to
categorize. though. It stands
alone among singers of today. In
the day of the domination of the
music scene by people called
Hammer and Pebbles. Redbone
offers a fresh, mature altema-
tive. His music improves with
subsequent listenings. drawing
you back to it time and time
again. And as an added bonus.
his lyrics having a meaning and
a subtle sense ot‘ humor seldom
found in the current music mar-
ket.

Redbone's music brings a
rush of elegant nostalgia for a
time when music meant some-
thing more than “It's got a good
heat. and I can dance to it." The
best thing you can say about
Redbone is that his music never
will be featured on Club MTV.

Abortion

Continued from 9899 I

But Pennsylvania Attorney Gen-
eral Emest Preate defended his
state's law as “an intelligent statute
cuefully drafted to reflect the
teachings of this court”

Solicitor General Kenneth Starr.
the administration's top courtroom
lawyer. urged the justices to rule
that abortion is not a fundamental
constitutional right, a stance he said
would allow the states to better pro-
tect fetal life.

The most animated exchange of
the hourlong arguments came when
Starraskedthecourttoeasethe
standard for judicial review of
state-imposed restrictions.

Starr contended that the standard
for court review should be whether
state abortion laws are “rational."
He said the Pennsylvania regula-
tions pass that standard.

But Justice David H. Souter, par-
ticipating in his first abortion case,
interjected, “So would complete
prohibition (of abortion), wouldn‘t
it?"

Starr then suggested that a state
would have a problem if it attempt-
ed to outlaw all abortion without
making any exception for a woman
whose life was endangered by con-
tinued pregnancy.

That response appeared to irritate
Justice John Paul Stevens. one of
the court’s two ardent protectors of
abortion rights. “That’s not really a
fair answer." he told Starr. “A total
prohibition would be rational. It
would meet your standard."

Stevens, Souter and Justices San-
dra Day O‘Connor, Anthony M.

Kennedy and Antonin Scalia asked
most of the questions from the
bench.

Justice Clarence Thomas. also
participating in his first abortion
case, was the only court member to
remain silent throughout

Justice Harry A. Blackmun, the
author of Roe vs. Wade. snapped at
Preate when he thought the state‘s
lawyer had characterized the 1973
decision as authorizing “abortion on
demand.”

“Have you read Roe?” Blackmun
asked.

More than 200 people had waited
outside in the rain —- some for
more than a day —- to witness the
arguments. About l20 were suc-
cessful in obtaining seats in the
packed but hushed courtroom.

Kolbert, first to stand at the loc-
tern. spoke for seven minutes be-
fore O’Connor interrupted to ask
whether she planned to discuss spe-
cifics of the Pennsylvania law.

Making her points in a caltn man-
ner that at times sounded like a eu-
logy for Roe vs. Wade, Kolbert told
the justices that ”to abandon height-
ened review is to ovcrrulc Roc."

Kolbert then resisted three rc-
quests to discuss the specifics of the
Pennsylvania law, choosing instead
to speak about what she said was
the case’s central issue A “the
power of the government to force a
woman to continue her pregnancy
against her will.“

“Pennsylvania's onerous restric-
tions must fall," Kolbert argued.
“Women might again be forced to
the back alleys for their health care
with grave consequences."

Islamic Taj Mahal exhibit

By AMY ROGERS
Contributing Writer

An art exhibit about the Taj Ma-
hal is on display at the Margaret 1.

nomics graduate student, is coordi-
nating the exhibit.

Currys display sports, fashion in fund-raiser

By KELLEY POPHAM
Assistant News Editor

UK football coach Bill Curry
turned from the field to the Lexing-
ton Horse Center last night, follow-
ing a fashion show, to hand out
football tips to female fans.

“Back in Time, Forward in Fash-
ion" raised nearly $4,000 for the
Children’s Miracle Network Tele-
thon to benefit the UK‘s Children‘s
Hospital Fund.

The event was emceed by Curry‘s
wife, Carolyn, a UK history profes-
sor, and the husband/wife team
brought their individual specialties
to the 200 women in attendance.

Mrs. Curry gave a brief lecture of
the historical transition of women's
fashion before introducing models
from the Cotton Patch, the Lexing-
ton clothing store sponsoring the
event. Cotton Patch shoppers were
chosen to strut their stuff across the
stage to model the summer’s cool-
est fashions.

But the evening was not com-
plete until Curry took the stage.
Mrs. Curry game a warm-heaned
introduction and took the liberty to
tell the crowd about the Curry love
affair, which began in the fourth
grade and led them to football
fields all over the nation.

And the journey ended in Ken-

this season. Curry joked about the
life of a football coach and gave
tips. which he said guaranteed the
respect of husband football fans.

But Curry’s tone changed from
his comical routine when he got on
the subject of player Pookic Jones.
Jones was verbally attacked during
a baseball game earlier this week
by Tennessee fans.

“The thing about Pmkie really
shook me up, and we will not stand
by and tolerate this," Curry said.

Telethon Director Marian Blan—
chard said the turnout was just as
expected and that Central Kentucky

residents have been very supportive
thus far.

throughout the year and include
