A dog-eat—student world

Spay’s the Way

The Lexington Humane Society
encourages a I pet owners to spay
and neuter their animals. The shel-
ter takes care of it if the pet is
adopted there, but the Human So-
ciety is able to do the surgery for a
low cost if the animal is obtained
elsewhere.

Those who think they can't af-
ford the sur ery for their pets can
call 233-00 4 and dial extension
228 for more information. Spaying
and neutering pets can help them
live a longer life and be more af-
fectionate while reducing their risk
of running away, biting and mark—
ing territory.

Prices of adoption at the
Lexington Humane Society:

$58 for dogs over one year old
$98 for puppies under one year old
$49 for cats over nine months

$74 for kittens under nine months

These prices include adoption rate,
spaying or neutering, microchip
identification, mild de-worming,
vaccmations, general flea‘treat-
merit and veterinary exam.

A call from a friend made
Rachel Fan'ar a pet owner far quick—
er than she‘d e\pected.

liarrar. a music performance se»
nior. had been considering getting a
small dog for a couple of months
and when a friend of hers rescued a
stray dog. Farrar was the first person
she called.

"He had no collar. no tags and
wasn‘t microchipped." Farrar said.
"I put up a couple signs. but nobody
ever called about him."

liarrar. like many students who
are first-time pet owners. quickly
found out that caring for an animal
isn't as easy ~ or cheap e as it
looks. But with some foresight. it‘s
possible for students to have pets
without going cra/y or broke.

When FaiTar got her dog. Ludo.
in May. the price of dog ownership
hit her right away. Because she tllvlv
n‘t know Ludo's medical history.
she had to take him to the vet for
vaccinations and to be neutered. And
since her parents were opposed to
her getting a pet. she had to foot the
hill.

"He‘s not expensive to maintain.
especially since he‘s such a small
dog Farrar said. "I took him to an
e\pcnsi\e \et. The spay»ani.l~ncuter
clinic down the street can do eyery-
thiiig for like Shit. \eisus woof

For students who are looking to
save money. adopting a pet from a
shelter can end up being less e\e
pensive than taking one off the
serCl.

“We have so many unwanted
and homeless animals." said Karie
Shrader. the adoptions manager for
the Lexington Humane Society. a
no~kill shelter located on Old l‘rankv
fort Pike.

The adoption fee at LHS covers

spaying or neutering. microchip
identification. mild clL‘Athl‘Ittll’lg‘.
vaccinations. a general llea treat?
ment and a \etei‘inary exam. Fees

are SSS for dogs over one year of

age. $98 for puppies under one year.
84‘) for cats o\er nine months and
874 for kittens under nine months.

There are still e\penses students
need to prepare for that go beyond
\accines and adoption fees. Slirader
stlltl.

"il’cts nccd‘i training classes.
food and toys.” she said

.\nd like adoption
costs begin right away.
Blair. a veterinarian at
the (‘lays Mill Vetcri- ».
nary ('linic. '~ ~

"A very common
mistake is not starting
training at a \‘eiy young
agef~ Blair said. "Most
people don‘t worry
about it until their dog
is tearing up cserything ‘
they own. it doesn‘t
matter if you‘re training , y
a I\\0*P(‘tlil‘itl poodle or h‘vfl’i"
a loll-pound mastiff.
You can spend lit to 20
years with .i dog,"

Sliradei said adopting from the
l.llS is detinitely cheaper in the long
run. but Blaii disagreed.

"Depending on the breed ol the
dog. e\erything pretty much evens
out.‘~ Blair said. " The Humane Soci
ety doesn‘t necessarily give you
everything \our dog is going to
need."

Barring any emergencies. a pet
will mature appro\imately Sol)“ in
veterinary care. Blair said. adding
that pets are cheaper when they're

they can also make a major differ—

l"or instance. Blair said cats should
be kept inside since indoor cats tend
to ll\ e twice as long.

The si/c of the place where the
animal will be living is another fac»
tor prospective pet owners should
consider. Shrader said. High~eiiergy
animals like Labradors and Dalma»
tians should live in houses because
they require more exercise and a
backyard. Shrader said. while low—
energy pets like l’oineranians and
(‘liihuahuas are better suited for
.ipaitments.

also have ramifications
for safety. When girls are
looking to adopt a dog.
litrrar said. they should
defiititely ha\e access to
a backyard so they don‘t
have to walk the dog
alone at night.

"It never would have
crossed my mind Farrar
said.

Students should not
iiisli into pet ownership.
Slirader said.

"Think it completely through."
\hiader said "People come iii dur~

don‘t have much going on. Then

much igoiiig out and not enough
time for the animal."

" The biggest thing is making
sure you have the time to devote to
them and the space. and that you can
allord them." Blair said. "It‘s sad to
see a puppy come in with la serious
\ iriisi that could have been present

But overall. l5arrar said. haying

Samurais. wealthy Parisians and a
warm—hearted gambler are making their
home on screen at the Kentucky Theatre
this week.

The fourth annual Rosa Goddard ln—
ternational Film Festival. which begins
tonight and continues through Sept. 13.
features a new foreign film every day.
with two or three showings.

The festival is named after Rosa God-
dard. a patron of the Kentucky Theatre
and lover of international film and cul-
ture.

When Goddard's great—niece Mary
()rd moved to the Lexington area in the
late WXOs. Goddard ~77 at Plymouth.
Mass. native who died in 2003 -~—
jumped at the opportunity to see the
Bluegrass. said Mary Kay Weymouth.
Goddard‘s niece.

“She attended the Kentucky Theatre
and enioyed the movies we played here."
said Fred Mills. the theater's manager.
“When she passed away. she put the Ken—
tucky Theatre in her will with no strings
attached. We could do whatever we saw
fit to do with the money. and so we de—
cided to recognize her with a yearly
event."

Goddard was passionate about world
travel and theater. Weymouth said.

"Even w hen she went to Europe. she
would go to the theater." Weymouth said.
"She would always pick the hotel in the
theater district. She would go to the mati—
nee in the afternoon and the theater at
night. She liked live theater and movies."

The international theme of the festival
reflects Goddard's passion for seeing the
world. Wey mouth said

"I think she would be very happy
with the theme." Wey mouth said. "She
traveled e\tensiyely. and this is a nice.
way to remember her."

This year. the festival is showing
films from France. England. Germany.
Spain. Bi‘a/il. .lapan and the l'nited
States.

The festiyal is unique within the Les-
ington community. Mills said. adding that
foreign~fiim e\ems normally take place
in big cities like New York and Los An-
geles or on college campuses like New
York L'niversity' and the lithCl‘sll} of
(‘alifomia at Berkeley.

"To be able to see these films in a
movie—theater setting is special." Mills
said. "Us” and Transy seem to be very re—
ceptive. and we try not to do it before
school resumes."

The Kentucky Theatre used to show
more foreign films. Mills said. because
the audience was more receptive to that
genre.

"As the industry began to change. we
began to change. and foreign films
weren't as av ailable." Mills said. "This
opportunity lthe festi\all makes it possi—
ble for people to see films they once real-
ly liked or have never seen before. It
giv es younger people the chance to expe-
rience films that have lasted the test of
time."

The (’ioddard festival can broaden
students~ hori/ons and can give them a
chance to open their minds. Mills said.

"lf you haven't seen a movie with
subtitles. this is a good place to see it.
UHC it a try.and don‘t sell it short." Mills
said.

Show times can be found on the Ken-
tucky Theatre‘s Web site tw'wwkentuck-
ytheatrecomi. Tickets cost $5.

Fifty years later,
'On the Road’
keeps the beat

QLlIred Lubrano

The Philadelphia Inquirer

From its start. America
was a westward—leaning coun-
try.

The notion that a person
could always head west to pur»
sue his dreams. find himself.
or start over is a basic tenet of
American myth and tradition.

For Jack Kerouac. the idea
of staying in motion on a w est—
ward trajectory was \ ital to his
sury'iyal as a person and a
writer.

The noyeI that described
his urgent. high~energy jour—
ney's. "On the Road." was pub—
lished 50 years ago yesterday.

The anniversary is prompt-
ing appreciations i and rein-
vigorating old criticisms _ of
a book many say defined the
l95lls Beat generation and
served as a template for hipster
iconoclasts of every stripe who
rejected the 9-to-t5 status quo
in fay'or of go—man~go sensa—
tion (the now—cliched sexr
drugs-rock-and-roll troikal.
endless curiosity. and indul-
gent self-exploration.

"‘On the Road‘ is a major
novel.” wrote Gilbert Millstein
in a New York Times reyiew
that appeared on Sept. 5. l957.
There are sections of writing
“of a beauty almost breathtak-
ing." Millstein continued. [I is.
he wrote. “the most beautifully
executed. the clearest and the
most important utterance yet
made by the generation Ker-
ouac himself named years ago
as ‘beat."'

Since that rey'iew. acade»
mics. critics and others haye
argued endlessly about the
book‘s place in the American
canon. and in the culture,

Decried as too narrow.
naive and adolescent to be
considered the Great American
Novel. “On the Road‘~ never-
theless reyerberates for readers
of seyeral generations for its
lally. hopped— up writing and
its messages oi lighting out for
the territory. and striying to
liye a bright-bunting life.

"The only people for me
are the mad ones." Kerouac
writes In a celebrated line from
the book. "the ones who are
mad to Iiyc. mad to talk. mad
to he say ed. desirous of ey'ery»
thing at the same time. the
ones who neycr yawn or say a
commonplace thing. but burn.

burn. burn like fabulous yeI‘
low roman candles exploding
like spiders across the stars.

When it appeaued 50 years
ago. the book made some
noise.

"It was this huge slash in
the consciousness." said Anne
Waldman. a poetry professor
and co—founder with Kerouac
contemporary Allen (iinsberg
of the Jack Kerouac School of
Disembodied Poetics at
Naropa L'niyersity in Boulder.
Colo.

"On the Road" entered the
culture in the time of the coin-
pany man. the highly struc-
ttired. conformist. low-wattage
Eisenhower years. Waldman
said.

"Here was an energetic
book. breaking with writing
form." she added. “written in a
highly fluid style. by a curioUs
seeker. a troubled figure with
an innate music in his head 7
the sounds. the rhythms. the
syllables."

Kerouac was an honest.
soulful presence at the core of
the book. Waldman said. He
explored the theme of buddy
low. with a homoerotic tinge.
He wrote about jazz. drugs and
promiscuous sex. Here w as a
protagonist more interested in
getting loaded than getting
rich. more concemed with
Buddhism and expanding con-
sciousness than achIring a
house in the suburbs.

“He certainly was an inter~
esting mongrel." Waldman
concluded.

Kerouac came from a
working-class French—(.‘anadi—
an family in Lowell. Mass..
and got an athletic scholarship
to Columbia L'niyersity.

There he met (iinsberg and
formed the core of the Beats.
the non-yawners w hose incair
descence lit up the skies.

Kerouac famously wrote
“On the Road in a caffeine-
»iangled 30 days in April 1951
on a lltl—foot scroll of art pa»
per he had taped together.
(Kerouac said he was on Benv
ledrine as well. but friends re-
futed that as the hyperbole of
an author out to burnish his
wild-man image.)

The speed and \Irtuosity
reminded Kerouac. biograe
phers say. of lit/l riffing,
