Lexington artist David Minton painted "Witch" in December after a burst of inspiration. Minton recently quit his job as art critic for the Lexington Herald-Leader to paint
and write full-time. Now he's conducting interviews for UK's Oral History Program so his friend and fellow artist Henry Faulkner can inspire generations of artists to come.

Legacy

Former art critic David Minton uses UK's Oral History Program
to make sure his friend's memory is properly represented

Bold red words scroll across artist David
Minton’s computer screen: “Don't die yet."

This seIf—reminder is the finishing touch to
his short list of life goals: painting. writing.
eating and drinking. Minton. 53. added the
last line because it struck him as funny He
means it too.

“I‘ve made my peace with life.“ he said.
“But I only just found my talent in the last few
years. and I'd like to do some things with it.
And I'd like to do some things for Henry"

Henry was a friend of Minton's who died
in a car accident 24 years ago. The city re~
members him as Henry Faulkner a Lexing~
ton artist who survived off his paintings and
broke many of society's rules along the way.

Minton wants to keep Faulkner from being
forgotten or. what is more likely misrepresent»
ed. so he is compiling an oral history about
the artist‘s life for UK's Oral History Program.
Since October. Minton has interviewed 10
artists who knew and worked with Faulkner.
Lexington socialite Anita Madden and former
Lexington mayor James Amato have also
agreed to interviews. Both knew Faulkner

well.
The project will record memories of

Faulkner on tape before everyone closely at-
tached to him passes away. As a part of UK‘s
Oral History Collection. the interviews will be
available to the public for years to come.

Myths already besiege Faulkner‘s memory.

“There are as many points of
view about Henry as there are people
talking about him." Minton said.
"There are a bunch of contradic-
tions."

Considering how Faulkner lived.
even outrageous stories are hard to
deny His life was a theatre. He
dressed in drag and sang blues at lo-
cal bars or while riding his bike down
Third Street. Paintings sometimes
moved him to emotional convulsions.
He filled up on salad bars without
paying. ()ne well-circulated story is
that Faulkner dragged his bourbon
drinking goats to parties. art shows
and one court appearance.

“Then there‘s a side to him not at all like
the image that's out there." Minton said. "He
could show up and be a totally normal guy"

Stepping out
Like Faulkner. Minton does not come
acmss as a “normal guy." He doesn‘t want to.
“A lot of people talk like artists and want

to be seen as artists. but they don‘t live like
artists not like the artist Plato. the Greek
philosopher said. ‘Naturally stand in opposi-
tion to society as we know it.‘ " Minton said.

In 1997. Minton decided that to live like an
artist he would have to get rid of every dis-
traction. He put everything he owned in stor-
age and set out with two bags of clothes. "I‘d
never lived like that before. but I decided to
hell with it. to hell with everything." he said.

The final step was giving up his job as art
critic for the Lexmgton Herald-I.eader. As
long as he wrote for the paper. it could not coy-
er his work or shows that displayed his work.

“I‘m out of here." he said. “I'm tired of do
ing stuff for every other artist in town."

With that decision. art became his only
source of income anti a cold. cramped apart-
ment his only domain. The rented cinderblock
space is where he paints. writes
and drinks the three things
that make him most happy

Minton's paintings. some still
in progress. are scattered in even
his kitchen.

He has always worked with
people. mainly women. and with
dream-imagery Since he quit cri-
tiquing other art. he has added
more color to his own.

"My way is the opposite way
of artists who consider them-
selves creators." he said ”I make
paintings. then destroy them.
then resurrect them. I ruin them
so I can put them back together
as better paintings."

What may look like a block of plain color
is really hours of painting and sanding and
repainting. Whole figures are sometimes
buried under layers of paint.

His characteristically haunting works are
starting to gain him a following. Miller Fine

IHE KENTUCKY KENNEL

A new immersive master‘s of
business administration program
better equips students to fit in t0-
day's changing marketplace in half
the time. said the program's direc-
tor.

"I think this program is revolu~
tionary as (compared) to other
MBA programs. It is different from
any other out there.“ said Mary Lee
Kerr. the MBA program director.

The program is an 11-month im-
mersive program that will focus on
three main areas: new product de-
velopment, supply-chain manage-
ment. and mergers and acquisi-
tions. These processes are funda-
mental in every organization. Kerr
said.

Students will also have the op-
portunity to earn extra certifica
tions in addition to the MBA de-
gree.

“The certifications are from key
organizations out there. Externally
administered certificates show
your level of competency and dif-
ferentiates you from other gradu-
ates. and makes you more mar-
ketable." she said.

Students will constantly move
frotn the classroom to the lab and
the field. applying concepts and
methods to real-life situations. Kerr
said.

The program will begin with a
rapid-immersion module where stu-
dents will participate in a manager-
ial assessment that evaluates
strengths and weaknesses and will
allow students to build a self-im-
provement plan,

Students will learn how mar-
kets operate. how companies maxi-
mize performance. how business
functions contribute to profitability
and how to manage supply—chain
dynamics.

A final check will then allow
students to position themselves for
the job market by finding what ex-
periences they enjoyed best in the
advanced learning bundles module.

BAGHDAD. Iraq The bodies of

mass graves near the Syrian border
and south of Baghdad. Iraqi officials
said Wednesday

Also Wednesday. in the Iraqi capi-

housing American officials and con
tractors. ()ne Iraqi police officer was
killed in the blast and dozens of
guanls and contractors were injured.

The violence occurred as mem-
bers of the Iraqi National Assembly:
elected in late January. continued
closed discussions on how to form a
government. Despite hopes that the
election would stem insurgent activi-
ty. attacks have continued unabated.

A I'.S. soldier was killed Wednes-
day and another was injured when a
roadside bomb detonated as they pa-
trolled in Baghdad. the military said.

The latest episode of violence was
discovered after authorities were
alerted by travelers passing through
the hamlet of Rumana on the banks
of the Euphrates River

Art owner Deborah Miller said.

”It‘s something you can't
look away from," she said.
“You’re drawn into it."

“We live and die as artists"

In terms of style and expres-
sion. there is no real connection
between Minton and Faulkner‘s
art. The similarities are in their
lifestyles. They share what
Miller calls "artistic tempera-
ment ~ which nobody really
knows how to define anyway"

Minton does not put on the-
atrics. but his distinctive per-
sonality comes out in his paint-
ings, his poetry and his coni-

  
  
  
   
  
 
  
  
 
 

 

 

   

 

 
 

 

his paintings. Minton pushed a
pair of glasses up to his nose
and wondered out loud if they
were in fact his own.

"One very real connection
between myself and Henry is
that we have both tried to live
as artists, with no other means
of support, no 9 to 5 job. no
wives or girlfriends to support
us." Minton wrote in a recent e~
mail. "We live and die as artists;
we sink or swim as artists: we
make it or fail as artists."

l)uring his lifetime, Faulktr
er was good at attaching him-
self to celebrities who Would fi-
nance his work. He could also
pack a show. Minton asked out
loud how his old friend man»
aged to do it and wished for the
day when he could do the same.

“There's no reason in the
World why painters and poets in
Kentucky or in America should
be looked upon as something
extra. as people to toy with or
cast aside. as desperate people
or as lazy people or as cast-
offs.“ he wrote in the same e»
mail. “Art is a very real part of
everyone’s spiritual life. and
artists. as such. should be mir-
tured and cared for."

With the oral history pro-
ject. Minton is caring for one of
liexington‘s most memorable
artists. He does not yet know if
society will do the same for
him.

creased in price.

Trustee Jolltta Wicklitle said the new plan has
several advantages for students.

“Students won't be nickeled and dimed." said
Wickliffe. the board‘s vice chairwoman. “They
can get a whole meal. as much as they want. for
the entire semester.

“We feel that this is a huge improvement for
students." Wickliftc said.

The board also authorized a $1178 per year in-
crease in campus housing. Under an approved dif-
ferential housing plan. students living in one of
four new dorms all set to open next semester
will pay higher housing rates than everyone else.

Those living in a new dorm‘s two-bedroom.
one-bathroom set-up will pay $1.250 per year in
housing. while those in a one-bedrmni. one-bath
room unit will pay $62K) per year.

Amid these increases. trustees said a proposed
11.5 percent tuition increase for next school year

the third straight doubledigit tuition increase
for students will be revisited. now that the state
legislature approved a budget.

Gov. Ernie Fletcher still must approve the
budget. but right now. UK stands to receive $18.66

The content and how material is delivered in
the classroom has been modified to help students
understand how they fit together and how they
relate iii the workplace.

“You don't get a job at liexmark and only use
marketing." said Kerr.

The new MBA program is a lot more hands-
on. said Nick Ratliff, a second-year MBA student.

"The topics seem more relevant and more
specialized. You focus on learning how to do the
task. and not just concepts."

Students will meet Monday through Friday, 8
am. to 5 pm. The goal is to have 75 students for

million for its operating fund. That money is a re
stilt of previously restored cuts to Kentucky high-
er education from Fletcher. as well as funding
from the state legislature. said UK spokesman Jay
Blanton.

After subtracting money that UK must use per
state mandate and for operating maintenance of
new buildings. UK has about $11 million at its dis-
posal.

Trustees said they will certainly consider us-
ing that money to lower the proposed tuition in-
crease.

“We'll hopefully be able to make an adjust»
ment," Wickliffe said. "We‘re not any happier
having to raise tuition than any of you are.

"But we'll need to analyze the budget before
making that determination.“

The board has tentatively scheduled a special
meeting in late March after students return
from Spring Break to set next year‘s tuition
rate.

“I'm very hopeful. and even if it wasn’t a lot.
any amount that we could reduce would send a
good message to students." said Student Govern-
ment President Rachel Watts.

“Even if it‘s just a small portion to reduce a
tuition increase. that would be a great gesture to
let students know that it is a priority to keep (tu-
ition) down as much as possible." said Watts. the
board‘s student representative.

UK President Lee Todd said maintaining at
least a :1 percent faculty and staff salary pool

the first round. which will begin this July. The
program will continue for 11 months; students
will have 880 hours of instructional time. com-
plete 44 credits and work in groups to help focus
on teamwurk.

"This program is for business and non-busi-
ness majors.“ Kerr said.

“We believe we will further our reach to oth-
er universities in this state and others outside
this state."

raise will remain a priority.

“We haven‘t helped them out like we should
have in the past." Todd said. “Of all our goals. the
one goal we've not made progress on the most is
faculty salaries.

“It‘s just obvious. the need to better pay that
talent." he said.

Todd cited several competing interests for the
$11 million besides reducing a tuition increase.
The administration will also consider adding
funding for student scholarships like Governor‘s
Scholars and UK‘s Legacy program, as well as for
program requests from college deans.

“We‘ve got some programs right now that are
pretty lean." Todd said.

All those possibilities have immediate payoffs
for students. Todd said.

“It all comes back to the students and faculty."
Todd said. “When the faculty get extra money and
continue to perform well. you feel better about
that. It's a way to say ‘thank you‘ to the faculty

“Student scholarships. programs, tuition. fac-
ulty salary raises _, it all comes back to the stu-
dents," he said.

Watts encouraged students to contact trustees
and administrators to voice their opinions.

“Nothing is final right now. nothingfs in stone.
so right now I’m just kind of hoping,“ Watts said.

“Usually we lobby legislators. and now that
we’ll know how much money we have. students
need to let (trustees) know what they think."

FLY ON THE “All. I feelin' the buzz

Puccini’s warrants a smile

The name alone piqued my interest.
How do teeth smile anyway? I just had to
find out.

The brightly decorated
awning and large front win
dow full of happy diners
drew me in as I embarked on
my virgin voyage to the clev-
erly named restaurant.

Located in Chevy Chase
Place next to The Oasis and
near Shoppers Village
Liquors. this Italian eatery

 

Damefle is a welcome change from
H . the typical casual pasta piz-
grill.” za places that serve meals

KERNEL COUMNIST with plastic utensils.

Once inside we were
greeted by a friendly hostess who promptly
seated us at a table in the center of the large
room.

I especially liked that she gave us the
choice of a booth or table. because my tall
companion enjoys plenty of room while din-
mg.

The tables and booths were draped with
green checked tablecloths. and the vinyl
booths along the outer wall provide plenty of
seating. To the right of the entrance are even
tnore tables in several smaller and more inti-
mate rooms.

Smart and interesting framed pasta and
pizza art line the walls and provide a light»
hearted subject to discuss while waiting for
your meal.

The dim and cozy lighting created a ro-
mantic setting for the other couples near us
and a stmthing. calm environment for the few
families with small children. the group of stu-
dents. the business professionals and the hos-
pital employees that dined with us that night.

Even the music created an atmosphere
perfect for an inexpensive casual date. a meet-
ing with friends or a family dinner.

The music selection didn't drive me crazy
like some other Italian places that seem to
play the same four songs over and over. In
fact. not once did I hear "When the moon hits
your eye." I was also able to enjoy my compan-
ion's dinner conversation without having to
ask him to speak over blaring music.

 

After being mesmerized by the artwork
and the delicious smells from the kitchen. our
server cheerfully greeted us and helped us
with our order.

After her description of the fresh toppings.
we began our meal with a serving of
bruschetta w toasted garlic bread topped with
basil. tomatoes. garlic and goat cheese.

As a lover of tomatoes. I was particularly
impressed with the freshness and firmness of
the tomatoes w given that they are out of sea-
son. It’s difficult to make this appetizer in the
winter and have it turn out as delicious.

My companion wanted a pasta dish with
plenty of spice. The server recommended the
chicken Diablo chicken cooked in cream.
white wine. garlic and tomato sauce spiced
with red pepper flakes and served with lin-
guine.

The server must have requested the Dia-
blo extra-spicy because. much to his enjoy-
ment. my companion actually started to sweat
before his plate was empty. With his dinner. he
was served a crisp dinner salad with their
homemade Italian dressing and garlic bread.

Because the tomatoes were so delicious on
the appetizer. I decided to choose a pizza with
similar toppings to relive the experience.

At the server‘s suggestion. I ordered the
small. 8—inch margherita pizza combo w a
thin. crispy crust topped with tomatoes. fresh
garlic. basil. oregano and fontina cheese.

I didn‘t think I could love a pizza without
any sauce. but the abundance and quality of
the toppings combined with the richness of
the cheese almost made me forget that a pizza
usually comes with sauce.

After our entrees. we were too full to par-
take in the restaurant's selection of desserts.
but a nearby table ordered a slice of cheese-
cake that looked tasty, They were definitely
grinning after the first few bites!

()ur meal , appetizer. two entrees and one
soft drink - came to $30.28 with tax and the 20
percent tip that I always give for great service.

I hope I can find time to visit the restau-
rant again because my teeth are always in
need of a good smile.

That loud pop you heard was Vanderbilt's bubble bursting

If you listen closely, you'll hear the sound

of bubbles bursting.

This time of year is like a double-edged

sword.

There's the jubilation of
joining the Big Dance. And
then there’s the misery of

missing out on it.

wait.

Thousands of games
have been played since No-
vember leading to this. Con
ference tournaments fill the
airwaves. We‘ve all been
very patient for this week.
It’s going to be worth our

The Southeastern Con-
ference Tournament starts
today at the Georgia Dome
in Atlanta with some interesting subplots.

 

° Can Vandy dance?

At 18-12, the Vanderbilt Commodores are
in dire need of a couple wins to boost their
NCAA resume.

They went just 8-8 in what many critics
dubbed a “mediocre“ SEC. The ‘Dores' mar-
quee win came against Alabama. a 70-56 win
back on Jan. 5 the conference opener.

So what have the ‘Dores done since then'.’

Diddly squat.

They went a totally uninspiring 8-8. play-
ing the likes of Texas Pan American.

I'm sorry. Kevin Stallings; 1 like you and
all. but unless you beat Auburn tonight and
Louisiana State tomorrow night. you'll be
watching the NCAA Tournament from your
couch.

° Will the Vols tell their coach to Buzz
off?

Matt Emery had one job to do.

With the doubles point lost. the UK
men's tennis team had to win four of
the six singles matches to stop its two-
match losing skid.

Emery was tied with Indiana‘s Ryan
Recht in the third set. with Recht serv-
ing. Emery knew he had to break the
serve to have a chance to win.

“You don't get that break, you lose
the match." said Emery. a senior.

Emery managed to break Recht with
several well-placed forehands and
served out to take the decisive set 6-3.
and gain No. 28 UK its second point en
route to a 4-3 victory over No. 65 Indi-
ana yesterday at the Hilary J. Boone In-
door Tennis Complex.

“The win at 2 (Emery’s singles posi-
tion behind senior Jesse Witten) was a
big key to our winning the match." said
UK tennis coach Dennis Emery. "It's
good to see Emery playing good. at his
level again."

Dennis Emery picked up his 50]st
win as UK head coach. after picking up
his 500th on Feb. 27 at Florida Gulf
Coast.

Indiana came into the match at 4-7.
with losses to No. 2 Virginia. No. 3 llli~
nois. No. 22 Notre Dame and No. 31 Van-
derbilt.

Matt Emery‘s rocket serve was a big
asset in his win.

“Playing inside. a big serve is an ad-
vantage. It's easy to place because
there’s no wind." Emery said. "We were
both serving big at that point. so the
break was very big."

Witten. Matt Emery. junior Alex
Hume and senior Tigran Martirosyan
won their singles matches to avenge the
doubles loss and clinch the match for
the Cats.

Occurring before the singles match‘
es. Indiana‘s doubles victory concerned
the team.

“I was surprised how poor we played
in doubles." Dennis Emery said. “Indi-
ana played well. but the deciding factor
was how poorly we played.“

“We were very happy with the re-
sults." said Indiana head coach Ken Hy-
dinger. “We never expect to win: we just
hope to win. I expect 100 percent effort
and for the team to play for each other."

“We came out flat." Witten said. “We
knew doubles was IU‘s strong point. and
we just didn't play good enough.“

Witten played well enough in singles
to defeat Indiana‘s Jakub Praibis 6-4. 6—
0.

terson has been on the hot seat pretty much
all this season.

The Vols are a disappointing 13‘16 heading
into tonight's game against Arkansas. The
cloud of uncertainty has been hanging over
Peterson's head now for weeks.

"I will get this program turned around.

My take: Keep him.

His young team has wins over Stanford.
Xavier and Mississippi State this season. The
Vols have lost seven games by less than five
points.

No. ( Laugh.)

This has been UK s tournament for years
now.

The count after 45 years of SEC Tourna-

There's no reason for it to change now.

Every year. people ask whether or not the
Cats have what it takes. Each time. the Cats
