'LCC underbids court's appraisals
Condemnation proceedings favor South Hill owners

By CHARLES L. SMITH

By forcing the Lexington Center Corporation (LCC) to
initiate cmdemnation procedures against them, several
South Hill property owners have been able to sell their
holdings at prices substantially higher than originally
offered.

Seven owners of property in South Hill on South Spring
and West High Streets refused to negotiate with LCC
representatives. developer of the new civic center and
planned parking lot. 0f the seven. three sold at prices
considerably higher than what the LCC proposed, and
three others received double the amounts offered. The
seventh would not disclose the terms of his sale. All
seven cases, which were filed between September 1975
and February 1976, resulted in out-of-court settlements
favorable to all the owners.

Fayette Circuit Court Judge James Parks Jr. appointed
three cormnissioners to each case as soon as it was
initiated to make impartial appraisals of the property
under question.

in each case, the court-appointed commissioners found
the property worth more than did the appraisers
representing LCC. Each time, LCC and the defendants
agreed on a figure close to the court’s estimate. Had they
not reached a satisfactory price, the cases would have
gone to court.

LOC Executive Director Tom Minter said LCC tries to
settle without initiating condemnation proceedings to
save time and money for the corporation and the property
owner.

Six of the seven South Hill property owners who
declined to negotiate, however. uniformly benefited by
doing so.

--Dorothy Mattingly Jenkins. who owned a six-unit
apartment building at 374 South Spring St., said LCC
originally offered her $8,000 and later upped the bid to
$90G). After her property was appraised at $18,000 by the
court-appdnted commissioners, Jenkins settled out of
court for $20,000.

“l'm surprised other people haven‘t waited for con-
demnation,“ she said. ”But I believe most people thought
that is the land was condemned they would get nothing."

- Arthur B. Rouse. former owner ofa house at 314 South
Spring Street. said the commissioners‘ appraisal of
330.100 was “twice as much as LCC's offer.“ Rouse
received an out-of-court settlement of $31,605, “a lot less
than the house was worth.“ he said. “Anyone selling
property should confer with an attorney or a real tor. "

-~ George O'Neal, who owned an apartment building at
313 South Spring St, said LCC offered him $12,000 and
subsequently $16,000. He received $30,000 after the court-
appa' nted commissioners appraised his property for that
amount.

—Raymond Keller, who owned buildings and property
at 504 and 506 West High St., said LCC originally offered
him $37,500. 'l‘he court-appointed commissioners ap-
praised his property at $48,000. it is not known whether
Keller and the LCC settled for that amount.

—Dr. J. Roy Holsclaw. who owned property at 315 and,

317 South Spring St., refused to discuss his sale
negotiations. He simply said ‘The LCC dealt with me in a
very fair way."

Court records show that the court-appointed com-
missioners established $20,500 as the fair market value of
Holsclaw's prqierty. However, he was able to sell his
property to the LCC for $31,200.

-John Hughson, who owned property at 383 South
Spring St., said he let LCC initiate condemnation
proceedings because he “wasn’t satisfied” with the
original offer. He would not, however, reveal LCC’s
original offer or any other information, saying the
negotiations and settlement between himself and LCC was
“priva te matters.“

l.C(‘ paid Hughson $22,000, the amount of the com-
missioners‘ appraisal.

— Ruth Duncan, who owned property at 352 and 358
South Spring St.. said herland was tied up in an estate and
had been handled entirely by her lawyers.

After her property was appraised by the commissioners
at $41,900. Duncan‘s attorneys settled out of court for
$43,995, which they said was “substantially more than
[11‘ had offered their client.

An attorney familiar with the condemnation cases said
l.(‘(‘ representatives consistently offer less money for
prop: 'ty than it is worth.

(Mo Urban County councilperson. though defending
l.(?(“s actions, conceded that the negotiators “try to get
the property as cheaply as they can."

Mintner denied the charges. “i don‘t really know why
one set of figures the commissioners came up with was
higher than the figures our appraisers came up with," he
said.

Mintner attributed the disparities to an “honest
disagreement" among the appraisers as to the property’s
worth. ”The appraisal business is an imperfect science,”
he s1 id. ,

"l.(f(f tries to be very fair in making purchases. We try
to offer a price at least equal to what the owners would
have received had the action transpired under private
circumstances," he said.

Candidates lock horns

question about details of the shelters. The
question exemplified the “kind of stuff

In their last confrontation before today’s
Student (lovemmcnt (SC) elections, the
candidates for executive office freely
attacked one other‘s platforms.

Last night‘s debate at the complex
commons. was the final ”elecfion forum"
for candidates. Several Student Senate
candidates also spoke to the crowd of
about 50 perple.

Vice presidential candidate ilal
llaering, speaking on behalf of himself and
presidential candidate Mike McLaughlin,
criticized many proposals of the Carlton
(‘urrens-lAnda Welch ticket as un-
necessary. 'l‘he metro government lobby
suggested by (Iurrens already exists, said
llaering. as does a proposed 86 in-
forma tion director.

"Where was our lobbyist when they
decided to close down South Hill?"
(Turrens asked, referring to plans to raze
the neighborhood for the civic center
parking lot.

Currens said his proposals would insure
56 activity, the major theme of his plat-
form. even if they resemble present 86
services.

"Do you want people who will work for
students, or people who will build bus
shelte. '.“' Currens asked the audience,
alluding to a major proposal in Haering's
pla tiorm.

llaering said construction of the shelters
is a "direct student problem" that 86
should meet. in one of the forum’s
humorous moments, Haering

that‘s interfered all year" with SG ac-
tivities, llaering said.

(.‘urrens and llaering disagreed
phiIOsophically on the role of students in
the University. (‘urrens said students
should hold priority over the research and
service work performed at UK. But as a
land grant institution, llacring countered,
the University is required to provide
major services for the state.

Linda Welch, (.‘urrens’ running mate,
said llaering’s selective critique of their
platform was “petty bickering" similar to
squabbles which have interfered with SG
work.

Welch stressed continuity in 86. “We all
need to be concerned with a very strong
groundwork. . .something that will work
for a few years," she said.

A common topic among the several
Senate candidates who spoke was SG's
allegedly poor image and lack of publicity,
and the need for a senate that would work
together on constructive projecm.

Senate candidates speaking were Keller
.lordan, Alex Christine, Dave Wahl, Gene
’l‘ichenrr, Bill Patrick, Kim Hay and Bill
lienderson. all for senator-at-large; Bill
Fowler and Cathy Welch, both candidates
from Arts and Sciences

in explaining election procedures, 86
Election Board Chairman Steve Vice
warned thatthe balot numbers publicized
by candidates and-the actual numbers on
today‘s ballos will differ due to a change
in preparation of ballots.

Law dean provides
a shining example

College of Law Dean George W.
Hardy ii i seta shining example for
young law students to follow when
pursuing justice and truth by
boycotting the Moot Court Board
Banquet last Friday night.

Hardy boycotted the banquet
because Daniel Taylor,a ”radical”
Louisville lawyer, had been invited
to speak by the Moot Court Board.
The association is an honor society
for law students.

Hardy was not alone in his
boycott. Kentucky’s Supreme
Court justices followed suit,
making it a straight flush.

Moot Court Board President
Regina Cullen said Hardy poin-

tedly boycotted the affair because
he felt Taylor was not the kind of
attorney law students should honor
by making a guest speaker at such
a prestigious banquet. Hardy
reportedly refused comment.
except to say he was tired Friday
night after a busy week.

The actions of Hardy and the
justices can only teach law
students that a successful Ken-
tucky lawyer is one who makes
every effort to be close-minded.

Whether Hardy agrees or
disagrees with Taylor’s methods.
he should at least take the time to
listen—how else can one learn
truth.

Currens
Editor:

Having been involved in Student
Government (56) for three years, I
have come to realize the necessary
components for an effective and active
Student Government. SG is not a
government in the sense that it rules
over anyone. its purpose is to provide
support to various struggling student
organizations and to push for academic
reform and relief from student
problems.

I feel that two candidates running in
this year’s election are the only can-
didates for president and vice president
who understand the true workings of
Student Government and will structure
an administration with those goals in
mind.

These candidates are Carlton
Currens for president and Linda Welch

for vice president.

Having worked with Currens and
Welch in SGandother organizations for
many years, I can attest to their
willingness to give time and effort to
seea goal accomplished. Not only are
they eager, however, but both‘ possess
the competence, experience, and
leadership ability to obtain concrete
results from their efforts. Thus, i
would urge all students to vote in the
elections April 20-2i, and cast a ballot
for Carlton Currens and Linda Welch.

McLaughlin
Editor:

Having performed as Student
Govern ment's (SG) chief ad-
ministrative officer this past year. I
feel ideally qualified to make a
recommendation concerning those who
will succeed me.

All campaign rhetoric aside, there
are only two proven candidates: Mike
McLaughlin for president and Hal
Haering for vice president. They are
the only candidates who have served in
$6 elected offices. Having served as
senators this pastyear, they both have
a knowledge of the method by which the
senate works; they understand its by-
laws, procedures and subtleties. They
will make better executives because
they served in the legislative branch.

They possess other advantages as
well. Each possesses an ability to
group divergent issues with which SG
executive come in contact, and each,
because of his experience as a senator,
has a thorough grounding in SG fiscal
matters. They have served the campus
general, and particularly the residence
hall program, excellently.

Other candidates cannot ‘present
approachable qualifications, either
specific or composite. l urge your
support for the candidates who possess
vastly more experience, superior
knowledge of SG and its functions, and
the ability and ideas to make SG the
best it can be~McLaughlin and

Student Senate Candidates’ Platforms

 

 

Agriculture

Steve lbershoff: It‘s about
time the image of the “ag”
senator underwent a fa ce-lift.
l intend to see a few changes
made which would represent
opinions of the students in
"ag" rather than merely those
of the senator. The issues 1
intend to deal with include
women’s rights, University
transportation and parking.
legalizing marijuana and
lowering the drinking age.

.l. (‘raig (‘larkez Agriculture
is an ever-widening field of
study with more and more
students involved in the
non'farm aspect. These
people have quite a say-so and
their ideas need to be
represented. i feel since I’ve a
farm background . but am
also in touch with the attitudes
of the world around me, that l

2

can adequately represent the
agriculture students as a
whole.

Thomas lawson: This being
my third year on campus. 1
'am rather tired of seeing
student apathy come of age.

There are so many issues that
this University should speak
out on. and yet we sit around
and let the mainstream of
America go right by us. The
University community needs
to become an active part of
i.exington‘s and Kentucky‘s
environment. As a forestry
major. in representing the
Agriculture college. I plan to
help the University as a whole

learn about many of the
needed ecological trends. 1 do
not say ecology is the answer

to all our problems. butl trust
my insight will provide the

University community with
information just as the
business maja' can provide
business information. We are
it in this together.

Alan Love: Many issues have
come before the Student
Government in the past few
semesters. Some have been
relevant to the general student
population but many have not.

in fact. some of the most

important issues for all

students have never been
addressed. Students. by way
of their elected represen-
tatives. should have more
input into such relevant issues
as: parking. dormitory policy.
providing adequate course
counselling and providing

rental housing services and

informa tion.

Mike Hasley:

Due to the
tremendous growth of the
(‘ollege of" Agriculture in
recent years I feel we deserve
a fair and responsible voice in

the governing of tm
University. The addition of
another student senate seat
will help enable our college to
receive this higher recognition
on tampus. As the College of
Agriculture‘s student senator
i would pursue these goals.
Tom Waldrop: My ex-
perience as a student in the
College of Agriculture will
enable me to relate with the
students in the college and
express their views to the
Student Senate. I will make
every effort to determine the
feelings d all Ag. students on
issues and vote in senate
meetings in accordance with
their wishes

Richard White: I feel the Ag.
(‘ollege needs to be
represented in a fair and equal
way. I think I can he‘fp dothis.
I am always ready to listen to
new ideas and comments and
try to put these ideals into
effect. It would bean honor to
represent you as your Ag.

There are no desperate marches on
Frankfort this spring. For the first
time in years the dam and the firey
opposition it provoked is dormant. "Let
sleeping dogs lie," warned Sen. Mark
Hatfield at recent hearings in
Washington, D.C., when two members
of Save Our Red River and a Kentucky
Sierra Club member made an ap-
pearance just to say ”we’re watching
you."

The president’s budget has no funds
for a Red River Dam this year; and
while Congress is not likely to include
any either, neither are they inclined to
”deauthorize" it, a necessary step to
prevent the dam from rising from the
ashes after Gov. Julian Carroll's term
expires.

One who is enjoying the apparent
return to serenity in the gorge is life-
long resident, H.B. Farmer, to whom
this spring isa "blessing to all hearts."
H.B. has been more than an inspiration
to UK students, who flocked to “save
the gorge" banners. He has taught us
in a most elemental way what our
higher education is all about, i.e., to
apply knowledge for ”the rights of a
people.”

H.B. Farmer is now a distinguished
man of letters. Back in 1971, with the
gathering gloom of the corps about to

pour down and drown out the valley. he
bought a typewriter and wielding an
eight grade education "commenced to
write. " At first he wrote the corps and
Rep. Carl Perkins, but, as he tells it.
"all i ever got from them was
pacification." By the time the fracas
was discontinued last fall H.B. had
typed out over 580 letters to places as

far away as Alaska.
Farmer has been resting since the

truce of last fall. But not so much as to
quite altogether. What follows is a

- poem in prose written by Farmer, who

celebrated his 75th birthday last
Sunday.

 

We are blessed in happiness,
security. contentment, peace and joy,
of the necessities of life of nature, in the
valley of Eden, a primitive paradise in
Red River Gorge, in Kentucky.

As I stand in awe and view this.
priceless, primitive treasure of 60
million years of super architectural
designing. my soul is raptured with an
endowment and inspiration to write
that l have dwelled, eat, saw and
beheld, tasted and drank of its many
fascina tions and fountains for 75 years.

i know, feel and possess a pantheistic
kinship to all this nature and am a part
of it, as the cliffs, flora and the soil

beneath my feet.

if the ashes after cremation of my
body were chemically analyzed, you
may be amazed to discover the 14
primary elements identical the same
that exist in this fertile valley.

We shall not allow this irreplaceable
priceless heritage of creation, with
inspiring beauty beyond description, to
pass from the faceof God's green earth,
by the folly of a handful of people,
blinded in insanity of economics to

build a dam. This would be an un-
forgivable sin against God. nature, and
all posterity. We will strive vehemently
to see that it is preserved at least the
duration of another ice Age.

 

This commentary and poem were
admitted to the Kernel by Ron
Mitchell, who covered the proposed
Red River ‘Dam and subsequent con-
troversy for tho Kernel.

Gene Ticlienor Jr.: I feel
the functions a the purpose
of the Student overnment is
little understood by the
majority of life student body
and thus is nothing more than
a ceremonial do-nothing
crganira tioni. It is ridiculous
to expectanltrganization to be
effective if it is not understood
by the people it purports to
represent. The Student
Government should be an
active pressure group in
campus local and state affairs
butatthis time I dan’t think it
is. If elected I will work to
make the SG more familiar to
the rest of the student body
and will sinpport any effort
such as reliarendums or polls
to gauge campus opinions on
the issues.

Itolnert Strainer: I am seeking
this office for the purpose of
representjng all of the
students ”a campus. In the
past. special interests have
had a . disproportionate
neprtsentation and they have
not repr ' nted the true in-
terests of lllof the students. I
promise to prepresent my
constituency.

liill Miller: I am anxious to
participate in Student
Government aml work with
other representatives in
governing our campus ac-
tivities. I have been active in
campus government at
I‘llizabethttown Community
(‘ollege arnd feel this is a
definite qualification. My
other UK activities have been
helpful in giving me a broader

outlook on campus life.
liob linker: Why not!

Lalne Young: I am running for
this office on a platform of
responsibility. I have been on
campus for 4 years and over
these years I have become
aware of the needs of our

elected. I plan to both act on
matters for university inn-
provement and be available

p'resident of the Student

Schod. I have attended the

both years in Rochester.
Minn. and Georgetown. Ky. I
feel that UK student govern-
ment needs effective
leadership to carry out the
wishes of the student populus.
I have dealt at length with
problems of apathy also. I feel
I can successfully get the
university behind SG and rid
the apathy.

Ewart W. Johnson: The office
of Senator-at-large should be
filled by someone that
students can use as an in-

Terry G. Elliott: l have
always had a desire and
motivation to be involved in
politics dating back several
years. My experience may be
on a small scale (represen-
tative at a junior college) but I
feel confident that I can per-
form the job arid represent the
students at UK adequately.

Debi Mcllee: I have a genuine
interest for the position of
Senator-at-large. I’m willing
to talk to any student and
represent his or her opinions
at the Senate meetings. I feel
that students should be well
represented in the areas of
student affairs, academic
policy. student rights and with
the University faculty and the

Lexington community. More ‘

effective communication is
needed between the student
body and its Senators. My
goals are to promote these
conditions;—

ltuss (.‘heaney: l woukl like to
serve as Student Senator at
Large in order to promote
additional services for
students on this campus. I
have a genuirne desire to serve
arnd to work for an improved
Senate that accomplishes
more for UK students.

Gary 'l‘anrner: I feel the
Student Govemment has done
nothing but argue between
each arnd has not improved
anything. I feel as a senator
int-large that I can protect the
student rights and improve or
pass the laws that will help a
student. I also feel Student
Government should get the
young freshmen and
sophomores involved in SG.

ltick Selrnrnalz: As senator-at-
large my major goal is to
adequately represent the
whole student body. not just
factions of it and to promote as
well as protect student rights.

Miketlverstreet: I know what
the UK student needs and
wants and I feel that 80 can
help achieve some or all of
these privledges. I am running
to help students and expand
myself.

Karen Karualicln: In order for
SG to be effective. senators
need to be interested. I have
shown nny interest this past
year in serving in the Senator-
at-Iarge capacity. In seeking
re-election. I feel I am
qualified to express the views
of my constituents and to take
an active pa rt irn the issues SG
will encounter in the coming
year.

have “able: Ilaving lived
both on and off campus. I feel I
know and understand
student's needs. and will
striee to incorporate an ad-
dition to the Kernel stating
where and how the $10,000
alotted Student Goverment is
spent. I am currently involved
in residence halls and the
Newman Center.

 

Barry (Bear) “illianns: I am
tired of SC catering to small
interest group. It is time the

average student gets
representation. I plan
represent the “normal“
student.

 

Alex Christine: Last year I
was disgusted with poor at-
tendence at 86 meetings. I

decided to run for Senator-at-
large and was elected to that

position. This year I have
attended 86 meetings
religiously. My overriding

concern now is that we use SG
funtb ($10.000a year) here on
campus for campus causes.
arnd cease exporting student
money for off campus and out
of state projects thatshouldn't
conce'n us.
Melinda lu-Jarm-tte: l have
been. working with Student
Government for several years
as Director of Student Af-
fa irs a nd presently as Senator-
at-large. l have also been on
numerous administrative
committees. Due to this ex-
perience l lave become very
familiar with student housing
problemson arnd off campus. I
have spent much time
working to effect change in
these areas and intend to
continue my effort if re-
, elected.
.lolm I-l. Stocker: In my year
here. I‘ve formulated and
listened to many complaints.
Students have practical ideas.
unfortunately little is done.
I've
volved to act as a voice for
others arnd myself. It‘s time
for SG to get in touch with the
students to discover whay
they want.
t raig Meeker: I am running
for senate irn order to see‘that
certain concerns are
represented and to pursue
certain policies such as have
been implemented tlegal
services. landlord tenant
concerns) in an expansionary
manner. and to pursue new
policies concerning dorms.
rape prevention etc.

Iron l'n'atlrer: Student
Govemment should be more
respmsive to student desires
arnd opinions. It should con-
centrate on attainable
solutions to these desires.
especially in the area of im-
proving the quality of student
life. In addition. when taking
a stand on an issue. it should
atlem pt to reflect the student
burly feelings.

ltill Patrick: A large majority
of students do not really know.
or not interested in. campus
issues which could affect
them. I would like to reverse
such apathy. and actively
investigate student ideas and
opinions. and make them
known. ‘and supported in
Student Government.

l’olly lleirntz: I have worked
tor Student Government for
the past semester and I feel I
know enough about the Senate
to do a good job. I am willing
to work hard and represent all
interested groups in the
University.

No Comment. Presently.
Susan l-Illis: Student
Government has shown a
tendency in the last year or so
to become too conservative. I
think this tendency needs to be
reversed to some extent at
least to the point of
equalization.
