UK not involved in EPA suit against Lexington

By Dariush Shah
ds 8 a y erne.com

Lexington is likely to face heavy fines in the
wake of an environmental complaint. but UK
probably will not play a role in the complaint and
the litigation that may follow it.

The complaint was filed jointly last month by
the Environmental Protection Agency and the
state of Kentucky against the Lexington-Fayette
Urban County Government because of deficien-
cies in Lexington’s storm-water and sanitary-sew-
er systems that violate the Clean Water Act. If un-

resolved. the complaint will lead to a lawsuit,
which is standard procedure for these cases.

“Right now. the complaint has been filed, and
litigation is pending." said Cynthia Magnuson. a
spokesperson with the US. Department of Justice.

The problem gained attention when a UK stu-
dent and a UK alumna were killed in late Septem-
ber when they tried to cross a flooded portion of
Nicholasville Road near campus. Lexington is
now working to resolve the possibility of legal is-
sues.

“What we’re doing right now is negotiating a
settlement that would resolve all these claims.“

said Jack Bender. an attorney representing the
LFUCG in negotiations over a consent decree
with the EPA. “A consent decree is part judicial
order, part contract. It will spell out the remedial
measures as well as cover penalties and other en-
forcement mechanisms such as stiff penalties ——
what will happen if you don‘t do what you need to
do."

By negotiating terms of the consent decree.
the city avoids getting into legal trouble.

“If we negotiate with the EPA and Kentucky.
the lawsuit really doesn‘t go forward, per se."
Bender said. “The consent decree will be the

mechanism used to guide and mandate the process
used to resolve the problem.

Bender said the court will maintain a mostly
hands-off approach if the city sticks to the deal.

“The coun is there to oversee it.” Bender said.
“Hopefully the coun never gets involved."

UK has no role in the negotiations or any legal
actions. Bender said.

Jim Newbeny. Lexington’s mayor—elect. said
he also hasn't foreseen any specific involvement
the university would have in this issue.

“Like every other member of the Lexington

Cats Will meet

Clemson in
Nashville

By Jonathan Smith
jsmithakykernelcom

Senior defensive lineman Durrell White said
that in the past few weeks. he told many of his
friends that he still didn’t know what postseason
bowl game the Cats were going to.

Yesterday, he and the rest of the players and
fans who were eagerly waiting finally found out. as
it was officially announced that UK would be head-
ing to Nashville to participate in the Music City
Bowl.

The Cats. who last played in a bowl game in
1999. accepted an invitation yesterday to play
Clemson in the Dec. 29 bowl.

“We’re looking forward to the Music City
Bowl." head coach Rich Brooks said. “I think it‘s a
great destination for our fans Clemson is a very.
very good football team."

UK (7—5) finished in third place in the South-
eastern Conference‘s Eastern Division. Clemson
(8-3) finished in a three-way tie for second place in
the Atlantic Coast Conference‘s Atlantic Division.

"I would say they‘re very. very comparable to
the good teams in the SEC from an athletic stand—
point and a talent standpoint." Brooks said. “it
would be a great opportunity for us to go down
there and see if we can continue the improvement
that we showed in the second half this season.“

The Tigers. who beat both teams in this week-
end's ACC Championship game — Wake Forest
and Georgia Tech. are led by running backs James
Davis and CJ. Spiller.

The two combined to rush for 27 touchdowns
and 2048 yards.

"They've got an outstanding team." White said.
“They have a lot of speed: it's going to be a big
challenge for us."

If the Cats win, it will be their sixth postseason
win in school history. They also played in the Mu—
sic City Bowl in 1999.

“I‘m extremely proud of our players and our
coaches for what they've accomplished under
Rich‘s leadership." said Mitch Bamhart. UK’s ath-
letics director. “It’s been a joumey. at times diffi—
cult. and what they have done. in their persever—
ance. and especially for the group of seniors. I‘m
very excited for them and what they get to do."

Season ticket holders and K-Fund members
have already bought UK's allotment of 20.000 tick‘
ets in a pre—sale. UK sports information director
Tony Neely said more tickets have been requested
and the university should know in the next day or
two if it will receive any more tickets.

UK has reserved 1.000 tickets for students.
which go on sale Thursday at 5 pm. at Memorial
Coliseum.

The last time UK and Clemson played was in
the 1993 Peach Bowl. and the Tigers beat the Cats
14-13.

UNC 75, UK 63

Turnovers, free throws
costly for Cats in third
straight loss to UNC

By Jonathan Smith
ismith@kykernel.com

CHAPEL HILL. NC. — Senior defender
Randolph Morris said after UK's 75-63 loss to
No. 6 North Carolina on Saturday that the UK
basketball team is setting a trend.

The trend they are setting. however. is not
the newest fashion fad or the hip Christmas
gift idea that is all-the—rage.

This new trend for the Cats. Morris said. is
their inability to take over close games.

For the third time this season. UK trailed in
the second half of a game by less than three
points but couldn‘t keep the comeback going
to win.

UK unraveled after slicing a seven—point
halftime deficit to 36—33 with unforgiving
turnovers and missed free throws in the loss to
UNC in front of 21.147 fans at the Dean E.
Smith Center.

“We're not playing up to our potential."
Morris said. "We know we can play with these
guys. but I think we just had mental lapses.
and when we ha\c thosc breakdowns we tend
to go away."

After the Cats pulled to within thrcc points
with 17:58 to go in the second half. the Tar
Heels wcnt on an 11-2 run. and lcd by at least
nine points for the rest of the game.

But before that stretch. L'K scented to be
getting what they wanted.

Earlier in the week. head coach Tubby
Smith said that he wanted to control the tempo
of the game against UNC because of how
quick thc Tar Hccls arc in transition.

The (‘ats did that by keeping L'NC in the
70s but were ultimately done in again by their
own mistakes.

L'K shot only 39.3 percent in the lust half.
trailed 31724 at halftime and turned thc ball
over 22 times.

"We've got to takc care of the ball." said
senior forward Bobby Perry “That's the name
of the game. The} only had 0 turnovers to our
3‘! “

Morris did his best to keep the ('ats in the
game by kccping [NF sophomore ccntcr T_\ lcr

Cardskeep Cats at bay in
Battle of the Bluegrass

BLMatthew George
sponsékykernelcom

The Battle of the Bluegrass tumcd physical yesterday
at Freedom Hall. but the team that did most of the bull»
ing ended up the most damaged at thc end of the game.

Junior center Sarah Elliot. freshman forward Brittany
Edelcn. junior guard Chauntc Bowman and senior for-
ward Jcnnifcr Humphrey all fouled out as the Cats com-
mitted 32 team )uls and allowed Louisville to shoot 42
free throws before losing 83-75 to the Cardinals for the
third year in a row.

Samantha Mahoney scored a game—high 27 points to
lead the Cats. but the foul situation proved to be too
much for the Cats to overcome.

Senior guard Nastassia Alcius said it was frustrating
to see U of L go to the foul line so often.

“I do think free throws in this game were a big differ—
ence." Alcius said. “We would try to make a run and ii-
nally did make a run. and then we fouled to put them on
the free throw line. and they were making them.“

UK‘s third loss of the young season left women‘s
basketball head coach Mickie DeMoss scratching her
head.

"I can‘t remember a game where l have ever had four
people foul out." DeMoss said. “We just have to get

a

smarter and learn from this."

In what w as a game of runs. the (‘ats challenged. but
never led. against No. 19 LouisVille.

The (‘ards built a IS-point lead behind the efforts of
Angel Mc(‘oughtry and Yuliya Tokova. who cach netted
12 points in the first half.

DcMoss switched to a smaller and quicker lineup.
and the Cats responded. rattling off a 16—6 run over the li-
nal seven minutes of the half to narrow that gap to 4239
at thc break.

Louisville answered with an 8—0 run to open up the
second half. stretching the Cards‘ advantage to l I.

It took a hook shot from Elliot for the Cats to score
their first points. which came four minutes into the sec-
ond half. but the shot sparked a 9-0 (‘ats run that brought
them within two points.

With undefeated Louisville clinging to a one-posses-
sion lead. senior Katie Olson drew a couple of fouls and
sank a jump shot to put her team up by eight.

UK again hit a scoring spurt. notching seven unan-
swered to inch within one point.

But that would be as close as the Cats would come.

McCoughtry finished with 21 points for the game.
and Tokova added 20. The two also combined to block
it i n e

Back on? Not for
Thanksgiving, as
the couple keep

their distance

On Nov. 22. Vince Vaughn.
36, flew to his native Chicago
from London (where he's film—
ing the comedy Fred Claus) for
the long Thanksgiving weekend.
Not on his schedule before re-
turning to work‘.’ Getting togeth—
er with Jennifer Aniston. 37.
whom he hadn't seen since their
late—October London ren-
dezvous. While Vaughn visited
the Windy City - where he re-
cently spent $15 million on a
duplex penthouse in the Palmo-
live Building for himself (and
the floor below it for his mother)
~ Aniston stayed in LA. and
broke bread with C ourteney Cox
and her clan. says a source.

What gives? An insider
close to Aniston says the pair ~
who insisted in October they
were still together despite
spending 59 days apart in the
early fall — have cooled off for
good. “There is no commitment
anymore." the source says. Adds
another insider. who says Anis—
ton and Vaughn were hoping
Britney Spears' and Reese With-
erspoon‘s splits would steal

away some of their spotlight:
“They're waiting to officially
break things off when the media
attention has left and people
don't care anymore. They just
want it to die out so they can go

on with their lives." Reps for
both did not return calls.

Kristin dating Nerds costar

The Revenge of the Nerds
remake, which halted produc-
tion last month. wasn‘t a com-
plete waste for Kristin Cavallari.
19. A source says she fell for
costar Nick Zano. “They‘re dat—
ing," the insider says of the duo.
who first went out on Nov. ll.
Cavallari's rep had no comment.

Naomi 8: Gael: Hooking up

Naomi Campbell. 36. and
Babel actor Gael Garc’a Bemal,
28, have been dating for two
weeks. a source close to the su-
permodel tells Hot Stuff. Says
the source. "It's not serious. but
they are happy together." Camp-
bell‘s rep couldn't be reached.

Inside Hilary & Joel's split

Hilary Duff and Joel Mad-
den are so yesterday. The pop
star. 19. and the Good Charlotte
rocker. 27 — who first acknowl~
edged they were dating in the
summer of 2005 - have called it
quits. “The age difference was
too much." says a Duff source.
who adds that the split was mu-
tual. One big strain: Duffs stalk-
er fiasco. (In November. police
arrested a man who allegedly is
obsessed with Duff and who had
threatened to harm her.) Says
the source. “Hilary has been so
freaked out about it. but Joel
didn't think it was as big of a
deal. They fought about it all the

Jen and Vince
apart for the
hofiday

time. He wants less drama."
Still, there were few signs of
strife. On Nov. 15 at an Invisible
Children charity event in L.A.,
Madden told Us of his Christ-
mas gift for Duff. “1 think I will
write her a song, something ro-
mantic. I love her." While
Duff’s rep didn't return calls. a
manager for Madden tells Us,
“We will not deny that Joel is at
present single.“

Reese Witherspoon: No
cells on the set

Reese Witherspoon's tactic
for controlling false rumors:
Stop them before they start. A
source on the LA. set of Rendi-
tion says the actress. 30 (who
split from Ryan Phillippe, 32. in
October). has banned cellphones
so no photos of her and costar
Jake Gyllenhaal get out. “Reese
doesn't want any rumors about
her and Jake." says the source,
who adds that security on the
film is tight. Other sources insist
the studio put the kibosh on
cells. (New Line Cinema didn‘t
comment.)

Biel and Jeter: heating up!

It looks as if Jessica Biel.
24. is batty for New York Yan~
kees slugger Derek Jeter. 32.
Early on Nov. 26. they hit Las
Vegas club Tryst. “Jessica had
her arms around him as they
swayed to the music." a witness
tells Hot Stuff. That evening
they also partied at the N9NE
Group‘s Playboy Club.

The Cards made seven of their f1-

minutes of the game to thwart any
hopes UK had of a comeback.

Cats must work to rekindle last
season's spark to live up to hype

Something is missing.
That's the feeling you get when watch-
ing the 4-3 UK women's basketball team
this season, and it was
evident in yesterday’s
83-75 loss to unde-
feated No. 19
Louisville.
Throughout last
year’s magical season,
the Cats seemed to
play above their talent
level by doing all the
“little things" coaches
talk about. Things like
key box outs, big de-
fensive stops and bas-
kets on important of-
fensive possessions.
This season, those things haven’t been
nearly as common. And since all but one
of 'the contributing players returned from
last season, there‘s only one way to explain
why the little things are missing:
Eleia Roddy.
Roddy, a forward who averaged nearly
eight points and seven rebounds per game
llast season, tore up her knee in preseason
practice and is out for the year. At the time
of the injury, head coach Mickie DeMoss
said other players would have to pick up

n

the void left by Roddy‘s loss. That hasn‘t
happened yet.

"We're still trying to build our identity
on that front line.“ DeMOss saidyesterday
after UK‘s third straight loss to U of L.
“It’s hard to play (senior forward Jennifer)
Humphrey and (junior center Sarah) Elliott
40 minutes (a game)."

' Of course. It's hard for any player to
play an entire game, let alone Humphrey
and Elliot, who. as post players, are more
prone to foul trouble. And when that hap—
pens, or when either starting post player
needs a break, the Cats don't have any sol-
id options coming off the bench.

Sophomore forward Jenne Jackson has
been a disappointment. After a promising
freshman season, she has been unable to
increase her role. even with Roddy‘s ab-
sence. Jackson played only two minutes
yesterday. Freshmen Lydia Watkins and
Brittany Edelin have shown glimmcrs but
aren‘t yet able to make the impact Roddy
did.

“It has hurt us," DeMoss said of Rod-
dy‘s ‘absence. “You (have to) learn to play
without players."

So far the Cats have shown an inability
to do that. And unless someone steps up. a
season that started with so much promise is
in danger of fading into disappointment.

Volleyball falls
. to Purdue in
NCAA tourney

fl J.D. William
sports kykernelcom

The UK volleyball season came to an
end Friday night at the hands of a force-
ful No.23 Purdue team that swept the
Cats (21 30 28- 30 26- 30) in the second
round of the NCAA tournament in West
Lafayette. Ind.

“We couldn't finish it up,“ said
sophdmore outside hitter Ashlee Fisher.
"We were close, we had control. but to-
wards the end we let go."

Fisher said the Cats' inability to capi-
talize on late leads or counter late runs

cost them. Fisher led UK offensively with .

14 kills on .2l2 hitting.

Errors also plagued the Cats. In the
opening round against Ohio on Thursday.
the team‘s hitting percentage was .341:
against Purdue it fell to a .170.

“it was frustrating because it‘s not
like the effort wasn't there: it was little
errors that beat us." said sophomore out-
side hitter Tess Edwards.

Edwards said that the back-to-back

games didn't strain the Cats and that they

were ready to play against Purdue on Fri—
day.

A block by Edwards put UK ahead
27-26 in the second game and proved to
be a critical moment in the match. UK
was unable to defend an offensive surge
by the Boilermakers, who ended the
game on a 4—] run and won the match 30—
28.

“It was definitely a disappointing
end." Edwards said. "It's important to

. finish games and we couldn‘t finish and

pull away."

After a kill by Fisher in the third
game. UK controlled 26-24 in a must—win
situation. But four attack errors by the
Cats fueled a 6—0 run by the Boilermakers
that brought the game ~ and the Cats‘
season — to an end.

In her last game of her UK career. se—
nior defensive specialist Julie Gagnon
said she was happy the team made it as
far as it did.

"I feel like we put the program in the
forward direction." Gagnon said about
consecutive NCAA tournament
berths. “I‘m disappointed with the loss
but happy with two trips to the 'tourna-
ment. and happy with being a part of a
program going to the top."

seven points on 2-of-10 shooting plus three points

from the free throw line.

“I thought Randolph did a good job of keeping
the ball off of him and when he did get the ball we
gave him a lot of help,” Smith said. “But then
again, a player like Hansbrough can really find peo-
ple open, so it wasnt necessarily his pass. but
maybe the next pass or the extra pass that leads to

the shot."

Many of those passes went outside to Reyshawn
Terry or Wayne Ellington. Ellington led the Tar
Heels with 17 points and Terry had 16. They com-

bined to go 7-of—l4 from 3-point range.

UK sophomore guard Joe Crawford pitched in
16 points for the Cats, who dropped to 4-3 on the
season. North Carolina, who defeated No 1 Ohio
State on Wednesday, moved to 6-1 with their third

straight win in the series.

“We know we can beat these teams."

Crawford

said. “We’ve just got to get our offense and defense
to flow together well. I think we got what we want-

ed, we just didn’t finish wellf’

The word Nashville is now

For the first time since l999, the
Cats‘ season has not ended in
November. Instead. the team
will be taking on Clemson in the
Music City Bowl on Dec. 29.

The Cats. who hadn't had a

coach Rich Brooks. chalked up a
7-5 record this year. But that is-

Myths about GLBTQ

people are

misguided

and often insulting

Sometimes I get tired of talking
about gay matters. And sometimes I
can never stop talking about them.

As the
public rela—
tions director
for UK‘s new-
ly established
Gay—Straight
Alliance. I am
expected to
promote the
goals of the

 

KEITH organization.
BROOKS Along with

Kernel this. I‘ve
columnist found myself

trying to rec—

oncile the no—
tion of being too verbose about be-
ing gay. lesbian or bisexual with the
duty of infomiing UK community
about our mission. which is to pro—
mote unity between straight and
GLBTQ (gay. lesbian. bisexual.
transgendered and questioning) stu-
dents and to be active in the L.cx~
ington community.

I know a lot of people are apa-
thetic about gays and lesbians in
general. which is perfectly fine with
111C. l7rilktrttiiititely. l have been ex-
posed to several people who have
completely incongruous and malev-
olent feelings about gays and les—
bians. rooted in antiquated myths
and notions they hear from friends.
family members or telewsion
shows. With problems like these.
reciprocation in basic communica-
tion can prevent misunderstanding. I
want to highlight several miscon—
ceptions. sortie of which I'm surr
prised still exist in our academic en»
\ ironment.

I Wt' tlrtln't (’IIUUM' to be gay
or lnu'imll.

Ipxcry time I'm presented wrth
the notion that being gay or bisexu-
al is a choice. I have to ask. "Why
are people straight?" Most gay peo—
plc wrll tell you flat out that their
feelings for the same sex are innate
and occurred before puberty. as
would most straight people about
their feelings for the opposite sex.
Regardless of the continuous debate
about whether being gay is deter—
mined by environmental or natural
factors. for someone to argue that a
person consciously decided to be at-
tracted to either sex is ridiculous
and logically unsound.

I Thnrc't more to guy prop/1’
than .\'(’\'.

Which is why we shouldn‘t be
referred to as “homosexuals." Are
straight people defined by their het»
erosexuality‘.’ Until people perceive
that sexual activities define very lit—
tle about a person's psyche or per-
sonality. this should be elaborated.

 

 

The media should adhere to this
too.

I Guy mm and women aren't
attracted to every same-sat person
they see.

Many gays. lesbians and bisexu-
als consider it insulting to insinuate
that they are attracted to everyone
of their sex — and understandably
so. (And no. the “six beers will turn
him or her gay" rule doesn't apply.)
Just like the straight community. the
GLBTQ community is composed of
unique and distinguishable individu-
als.
