Police arrested one of the three men in—
volved in an armed robbery of the South
Limestone Street Mad Mushroom yesterday
at 3 am.

After sneaking in the back door. two
men stole about $700 from the pizzeria.
Both of their faces were covered by ban-
dannas. and one of them brandished a
"butcher knife about 12 inches long." said
Dana Murphy. a Mad Mushroom delivery
driver. The third person involved waited
outside in a blue Honda.

Tyrone Dunn. 29. was arrested and
charged with robbery shortly after the inciv
dent.

After he was threatened with a knife
and backed into a corner. Murphy had to
explain to a robber the difference between a
fax machine and a cash register.

“You can‘t open that up man; that‘s a
fax machine." Murphy told the robber.

Brett Hetzell. general manager of Mad
Mushroom. and Murphy were the only two
in the pizzeria two other drivers were
out delivering —— when the robbers entered.
While the one with the knife stayed up front
with Murphy. the other took Hetzell to the

The robber had backed Murphy into a

pizza boxes. From there. Murphy watched

himself to the money. Luckily. Murphy

Stockyards

appealing

By Tyler Montgomery

Cattle. traffic. manure.

UK's advanced architecture studio took all
three into account on a semester long project to
redevelop a local livestock exchange in Lexing-
ton.

The projects are on display at Arts Place Inc.
at lbl N. Mill St.. and viewing begins tonight
with the Gallery Hop. The show will run
through Dec. 10.

Professor Karen Lewis. whose students
worked on the project. chose a stockyard as a
subject because of her interest in agriculture,

“When 1 moved to Kentucky a friend told
me about a stockyard that was near my home
and I became very interested." Lewis said.

“I was really amazed at the business of agri-
culture." Lewis said. “I‘ve really enjoyed leam-
ing about how agriculture economics is used
within the land of Kentucky. It‘s much different
from Connecticut. where I'm from."

Her students researched in Midway. Ky..
where there is a debate over whether a Lexing—
ton stockyard should be moved there.

Lewis and her students met with community
activists in Midway and used the resident’s con—
cerns to generate ideas for their stockyard pro—
jects.

“Manure. noise. water pollution. traffic
and local image are all points that made the
community uncomfortable." Lewis said.

Lewis said that though these points could be
a problem. her class devised solutions to avoid
them.

“Actually the stockyard doesn't have that
much traffic. only about 40 trucks a week.
whereas a Wal—Mart brings in about 50 trucks
per week." Lewis said.

Matt Storrie. a fifth—year architecture student
who will be presenting at the viewing. created a
piece that inspired by the tnicks that carry live—
stock.

“My image deals mainly with the issue of
traffic." Storrie said. “The image of the trucks is
one that people aren‘t afraid of. My design is
geared so that all transactions will be dealt di—
rectly out of the semi—trucks themselves."

Storrie also placed emphasis on the in-depth
research done by the students for the projects.

“l expect that our research will speak for it—
self in the images and will hopefully spawn a lot
of discussion." Storrie said.

Brian Buckner. a fifth—year architecture stu—
dent. siiid that he wasn‘t sure if people realized
what a stockyard included. He used that idea in
his work.

“I designed my image of the stockyard
based on what it is." Buckner said. “I opened it
up so that people can drive by and see exactly
how it is working on the inside.

“People tend to think of a stockyard as a
holding facility. but it is actually more about the
exchange than anything else." Buckner said.

Citizens also expressed concern with the
manure that would be generated by the stock-
yard and the associated smell. biit students
found solutions for this as well.

“As far as city image and smell is con-
cerned. one student devised a solution that
planted 25 acres of daisies in front of the stock-
yard." Lewis said. “Everyone would love the
sight of 25 acres of daisies. and it would break
down the smell considerably."

By choosing a stockyard over another struc-
ture. Lewis hopes her students realize the im-
portance of not just pleasing people but also
learning to generate new ideas.

“I could have given them a project like de-
veloping a beautiful museum.“ Lewis said. “but
l think it is more important for them to realize
that they should be involved and how to please
people visually as well as logically."

Media bias is either oti the conservative side. run by l‘llllUll'tltillill

workforce.

These were the arguments {in sL iitL Ll last night during a the too houi

The two differed in their analyses on \yhiLh politiLal leaning thL iiiLLli i
takes and what should be done about it.

“What I‘ve seen up close. is that the American media system is not
a meritocracy." Cohen said. "They are rim by the worst."

Cohen criticized the major media outlets for their coiiseryatiyc bias
This bias. he said. stems from the corporate “billionaires" who own
them.

“I know from first'hand experience. that corporateowned media
leads to censored stories." he said.

Specifically. Cohen cited his former employer MSNBC, The net
work. which is owned by “major defense contractor" GE. has interests
in how news is reported

“Those who asked the right questions about Iraq.
ished from the system.‘ he said.

He used fonner MSNBC host Phil Donohue as an example Dono-
hue s show was canceled shortly before the Iraq war began in March
2003. Cohen had been a senior proLluLer of the show ing.

“When war is approaching. the media gets even more consenatiy'c."

SETTING THE PATH

Senior leader has been inspiration for
freshman rising star since high school

 

 

By JD. Williams
sports®kykernelcom

Four years and 1.943 digs ago, senior defensive specialist Jenni
Casper left Louisville’s Mercy Academy as a highly sought after recruit
and arrived at UK unaware of the trail she left behind. Casper’s journey
would be inspiration for another young volleyball player, freshman defen‘
sive specialist BriAnne Sauer, who looked up to the senior libero.

Both were products of the nationally recognized volleyball program at
Mercy Academy. Starting as early as high school Casper was already a
standout. For Sauer, the influence of the older and more experienced se-
nior was unforgettable as she kept a close eye modeling her game after
Casper's.

“We practiced together. and I would always watch the way she
played." Sauer said of when she and Casper played together in high
school. “She was always the leader on the court. and I looked up to her. I
was the little freshman looking up to the big senior."

The attention of the younger players was welcomed by Casper.

“Being a role model means everything to me.“ Casper said. “Working
hard and motivating everyone on and off the court is important."

Both Casper and Sauer were coached by Ken Garvey at Mercy. and al-
though years apart. Garvey said the two of them had numerous similari—
ties.

"Both were intense competitors and were lightening quick." Garvey
said. “They were determined to not let the ball hit the floor."

Casper eamed recognition for her performance at the Girl's Junior Na-
tional Volleyball tournament the summer leading into her last season at
Mercy and was named an Amateur Athletic Union All-American. Garvey
said she was the prize of the his 2003 class.

“Jenni was a fireball." Garvey said. “She was a strong performer and
covered the floor as good as any player I‘ve coached."

Being named an All—American gave Casper many choices at different
schools that competed to land her in their recruiting class. But the selec-
tion was easy for her. and she was set on UK because it was close to home
and her family. Casper said she wanted to avoid stretching her relationship
with her mother over long distances and refused to open any letters of in~
terest from other universities recruiting her.

After Casper departed from Mercy. Sauer immediately filled her spot
on Mercy's roster. In the first year without Casper‘s guidance, Sauer was
named an Amateur Athletic Union All—American. She continued her suc-
cess, and after a strong senior season Sauer was named an All—American
by PrepVollcyball.com. Casper said the award came as a surprise to her.

“I didn’t expect to be an All-American." Sauer said. “My mom told
me while I was at school (Mercy). l was surprised. It was an awesome
achievement."

Although awarded the honor of being an All-American. the numerous
letters from teams that had wanted to sign Casper were not there for her
successor. Sauer only got two full scholarship offers from South Carolina
and Murray State. Although they had interest in Sauer. she had no interest
in them.

Sauer took matters into her own hands to prolong hcr volleyball ca-
reer. When UK head coach Craig Skinner took over for the Cats in the fall
of 2005. Sauer made it her immediate priority to get his attention. Sauer
looked up his contact information and emailed him. informing Skinner of
how much she wanted to be a (‘at and what she could bring to the pro-
gram.

“She was one of the first people that contacted me when I took the
job." Skinner said. “I got an c~mail from her after the first month I was
here as the coach. I'll never forget that c—mail and the passion she had.
She expressed how much she would love to be a part of UK. Before read—
ing the e-mail. I had never seen her play. but after seeing her ability we
knew we wanted her in the program."

The interest from Skinner was good news for Sauer. but a problem

same way.

“You‘re always nervous when you tirst
get out there." Bradley said. “But after a
while. it kind of wears off."

Bradley wasn‘t very smooth in his first
collegiate start _. he gave up the ball six
times to the Rcdllawks‘ defense , and
showed why some people might still question
his ability to lead the offense.

He turned the ball over in the tirst minute
of the game and did the same in the first
minute of the second half. He threw away a
pass that led to a layup attempt late in the
game.

"We need to do a better job of taking care
of the basketball and making better deci-
sions." Smith said.

Bradley wasn't the only player making
mistakes on offense. Smith said the team did-
n‘t have the motion that it needed in order to
find open players.

quickly surfaced. Skinner had already
offered his three available scholarships.
and that created a more perplexing
dilemma for her: to follow the money
of a full scholarship or follow her heart
to UK.

“It was really tough having full
rides to other places and not having one
here. but I wanted to be close to my
family and play at UK." Sauer said.

She went with her heart and settled
for an academic scholarship at UK to
pay for college while she played vol-
leyball.

In August. Sauer became the last
addition to UK‘s 2006 recruiting class.
which ranked 26th in the nation and
consisted of three out of four Top 100
recruits by PrepVolleyball.com. She re~
united with Casper in a freshman-to-se»
nior relationship once again.

Sauer knows accomplishing some
of the things her teammate has done
takes hard work. In Casper's freshman
year she recorded 473 digs. the fifth
highest in UK history. Her freshman
performance resulted in her being
named to the First Team All-Southeast-
ern Conference and SEC Defensive
Player of the Year — the first time in
the conference‘s history the award had

 

 

 

been given. Casper‘s career. 1.943 digs
and counting. pulverized the prior SEC
record of 1.748 set by Shelly Gross at
Georgia between ”83-86?

Although Sauer‘s l20 digs this sea«
son are nowhere near the output of
Casper's inaugural year. her presence
has been just as important. UK's record
is 62 with Sauer starting along side of
Casper on the back row. Her 2.42 digs
per game ranks third on the team. a
high improvement from her debut for
the Cats in the second game of the sea-
son on Sept. 2. where she recorded a
service error and one dig in her brief
appearance in the match.

Sauer said her goal is to be the
libero for UK. and if recent history
holds true Sauer will be. When Casper
arrived at UK she replaced Aleisha
Craven. another Mercy product. who
was the former libero. Now. four years
later. with Casper exiting. another Mer—
cy Academy product could be the de-
fensive leader for the Cats in the near
future. With Sauer‘s younger sister
Kayleah Sauer. currently a junior libero
for Mercy. the cycle could continue for
many years to come.

For now Sauer can only take what
her senior leader has taught her and ap-
ply it to players that will some day fol-
low in her footsteps.

"Jenni helped me a lot." Sauer said.
"Now when I become a senior. I can
help the (future) freshman out. like
