KENTUCKY KERNEL

 

CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

Memorial for Ky. soldiers to be updated

By Jordan Bishop
news®kykernel c om

The list that hangs in Memorial
Coliseum honoring Kentucky‘s fallen
soldiers will soon be updated with the
names of those who have died over the
past 30 years.

The list hasn’t been updated since
the end of the Vietnam War. and over
565 Kentuckians have since been killed
while serving in the military.

“The update of this list is so signif—
icant because so many honorable Ken-
tuckians wanted to serve their country.
and unfortunately paid the ultimate
price in doing so,” said John Kramer.

executive staff member of the Depart-
ment of Veteran Affairs. “To have them
recognized is the least that we could
do.“

Family members of the deceased
soldiers will be able to see their loved
ones added to a list that bores the
names of thousands of Kentuckians
who died in Armed Services affairs.
The framed list of names hangs on the
walls of the ramps along the two sides
of the coliseum.

The ceremony will take place Sun-
day. Jan. 14. 2007, during halftime of
the UK vs. Ole Miss women‘s basket-
ball game.

Although there has been a 30-year

lapse in updating this list. neither the
Athletics Department nor the Depart-
ment of Veteran Affairs could pinpoint
the cause of this delay. However.
Kramer did note the difficulty in com-
piling such a list.

The Department of Veteran Affairs
had to compile the database, sort
through the correct criteria and then
cross—reference this data with the casu-
alties that occurred after the Vietnam
War.

The records the Veteran Affairs can
obtain do not include the address or
phone number of the victim‘s family.
Kramer said. so it's difficult for them to
distinguish the list. if for example.

“John Smith from Louisville" was
killed in harm‘s way.

Despite the holdup. members of
UK staff are eager to honor the sacri~
free that so many Kentuckians have
made.

"We represent the Commonwealth
of Kentucky.“ said UK Athletics Direc~
tor Mitch Bamhart. “We always have
and we always will. and for that reason
we feel that it‘s absolutely imperative
that we give tribute to those folks who
have represented the Commonwealth.
and we can do it in a place that means
so much to so many people."

UK would like to see family mem—
bers of every honored fallen soldier at

the ceremony. but because military
records are private. the university needs
help locating them.

Admission into the basketball game
is free for family members of the hon—
ored Kentucky soldiers. To receive
these complimentary tickets and for in-
formation about the event. family
members of fallen soldiers should con—
tact Leslie Bray in UK Athletics at
(859) 257-2589 or
leslie.bray@uky.edu.

Those with questions aboutthe 565
fallen soldiers who will be honored
should contact John Kramer with the
Kentucky Department of Veteran Af—
fairs at 1-888-724-7683 or
johnw.kramer@ky.gov.

 

Students.
alumnus
chosen
for chorus

By Jessica Partington
news@kykernel.com

Two UK doctoral students and one alumna
from the UK School of Music were selected to be
in the 29-member Soldiers‘ Chorus of the US.
Army Field Band.

Staff Sergeants Mario Garcia. of Chandler.
Ariz.. Mark Huseth. of Topeka. Kan. and Charis
Strange, of Campbellsville. were chosen to sing
in the chorus.

All three are currently enlisted in the US.
Army. Garcia and Huseth are continuing their ed-
ucation at UK while trav-
eling with the elite musi-
cal ensemble. according
to a UK news release.

The Soldiers‘ Chorus
is a mixed vocal band of
the US. Army Field
Band. They perform all
over the US. and intema-
tionally. touring for about
100 days each year. Their
job includes perfor~
mances at formal public
concerts. school assem-
blies. festivals and on
television.

Being selected for the
chorus has several bene-
fits. The salary is excel-
lent. student loans are
paid off and it involves
travel and meeting the highest levels of govern-
ment staff. said Everett McCorvey. director of
UK’s opera program. McCorvey said he is proud
that three singers were chosen to represent UK.

“If you check the roster of the singers you
will see that they come from all over the US.
but three from one school is incredible." McCor-
vey said.

This is UK alumna Charis Strange’s first year
in the chorus. After submitting a CD. then being
chosen to do a live audition and an interview.
Strange received a call about her admission to the
chorus as a soprano.

“I can’t describe it." Strange said. “It was like
all the years of hard work had paid off. This is a
great career."

Strange did her first tour with the chorus in
New England. Strange said that not getting to
spend time with friends and family is difficult.
but traveling is a pan of being a singer.

“It’s a small sacrifice I am willing to make to
live this great life of singing.“ Strange said.

Mario Garcia does not have to worry about
missing his family. His wife is also in the Sol-
diers‘ Chorus.

Garcia has been in the chorus for over four
years. He sang at Ronald Reagan‘s funeral and
said he enjoys the overall experience of “singing
with excellent music and top notch musicians."

Mark Huseth has been in the chorus as a bass
for almost two years. He said he is looking for-
ward to Christmas caroling for soldiers at Walter
Reed Hospital in Washington. DC.

After the Soldiers‘ Chorus. Huseth said he
might teach singing or perform.

“As long as singing is in my future. I am hap-
py.” Huseth said. “The main mission is to travel
the US. and the world, to put a face to the army."

The singers serve for at least three years in
the army and go through basic training.

“It's a big commitment." Huseth said.

Strange said the chorus presents a good op-
portunity to serve. '

“It's a great way to serve your country and be
a professional singer for three years or 20." he
said.

"If you check the
roster of the
singers you will
see that they
come from all
over the US,
but three from
one school is
incredible."

Actress Sara Rue took the stage of the Briggs Theater
yesterday — but not to perform. Rue, who has appeared in
such films as Pearl Harbor and The Ring, along with
television shows like E.R., Will and Grace and Less Than
Perfect, took part in a question and answer session with
students in the Fine Arts Building. She gave advice on a
variety of subjects, such as working with bad actors,
conducting themselves during casting and auditions, living
in big cities and doing nude scenes. Rue also encouraged
acting students to stay in school and get their degree,
rather than move to a big city to pursue an acting career.

Professor’s poetry
has Ky. roots

B1 mill! Cowon
feature y erne .com

Sitting in the small upstairs
room where she writes. Jane
Vance can look out her window
and take inspiration from what
she sees: the trees, the wildlife
and the change of seasons. Or.
as Vance calls this, her “Ken-
tucky Garden.“

Vance, who is published un—
der the family name of Jane
Gentry. is one of two Kentucky
poets who will
be featured in :zf.:.:

a poetry read-
ing Friday at
Black Swan
Books. Vance
will be read-
ing passages
from her new

book, “A Por- *
trait of the
Artist as a

White Pig," which was inspired
by her Kentucky upbringing.

Vance’s interest in poetry
began at a young age. As Vance
was growing up in Versailles,
her father would read her po-
ems, and Vance had written her
first poem by the time she was
in second grade.

“By the time I could write.
the little pieces (I had written)
sounded like poetry to me."
Vance said.

Vance has had a love of po-
etry her whole life and studied
creative writing at Hollins Col—
lege. After graduation. Vance
earned a master's degree from
Brandeis University and holds a
doctorate from the University of
North Carolina. Vance said that
while in school, even though she
learned a great deal from men-
tors, her teachers weren’t the
only people who inspired her.

“I was influenced by the old
dead guys too. like TS. Eliot.“
Vance said.

Even though Vance studied
outside of Kentucky. she re—
turned home after getting her
doctorate and used her Ken-
tucky roots to publish a collec-
tion of short poems. “ln a Ken-
tucky Garden."

“The landscape and sense of
home is never far from reach in
my work,“ Vance said. “Being a
Kentucky writer makes me one
of the luckiest of God‘s crea-
tures. I love living at home in
Kentucky (because) we have
such rich traditions."

Not only does Vance use the
Kentucky landscape and her
own memories to create her po-
ems, but she is also influenced

 

by the stories from her other line
of work — teaching. In addition
to being a poet. Vance teaches
English and Honors courses at
UK.

“1 can‘t imagine being a
writer without being a teacher or
being a teacher without being a
writer." Vance said.

Both students and col-
leagues alike have noticed
Vance’s work at UK.

“Jane’s poetry has touched
the lives and hearts of many

readers."
I said Gur-
ney Nor-

. man. UK's
creative
w r i t i n g
program
director.
“Students
interested
in poetry
would do
well to consider Jane Vance as a
model of an educated creative
person. I think Jane is probably
the best teacher of literary craft
in the nation."

“Dr. Vance is a very unique
professor." said Erin Richter. a
biology freshman and one of
Vance’s students. “She has ex-
ceedingly interesting and in-
sightful views on the subjects
we go over in class."

Vance’s poetry is also well
known outside of the UK com-
munity and throughout the Lex-
ington area. Her books are car-
ried at stores around Lexington
such as Kennedy Bookstore.
Joseph-Beth Booksellers and
Black Swan Books.

Black Swan Books carries
many rare and unusual books.
but mainly those centered on
Kentucky and a variety of books
about art for students. said J.
Michael Courtney. the owner of
Black Swan Books. The book-
store hosts book readings for
both locally and nationally
known authors. and Courtney
encourages students to attend
readings.

“Students who have never
been to a reading might learn
something." Courtney said. “In
today’s electronic society. it's
something a little bit different."

While students and co—work-
ers praise Vance for her talent
and dedication. writing isn’t
something that Vance could stop
doing.

“Writing poems is just
something I do.“ said Vance.
“It‘s an emotional and physical
habit that I have."

 

 

Disney to allow films on TV sooner

By Joseph Menn
LOS ANGELES TIMES

Walt Disney Co. agreed
Tuesday to release movies for
use on cable television as soon
as 15 days after their release on
DVD.

The arrangement covers an
unspecified number of films by
Disney Pictures. Touchstone and
Miramax and comes as part as
of a long-term content pact be-
tween Disney and Comcast
Corp., the nation‘s largest cable
operator.

The agreement follows Dis-
ney’s recent pact to offer movies
over Apple Computer lnc.‘s
iTunes at the same time as it re-
leases DVDs. signaling that Dis-
ney might be anticipating that
the DVD cash-cow soon will be
supplanted by other means of

reaching viewers.

“It‘s yet another example of
Disney remaining in the fore-
front of distribution over all plat-
forms." said industry analyst
Laura Martin of Soleil/Media
Metrics.

The new movies could take
as long as 45 days to reach
Comcast viewers for $3.99 a
showing. at Comcast spokes-
woman said. Oldcr movies will
be available for $2.99.

The Disney contract. which
was years in the making and had
been anticipated for weeks. also
calls for the company to offer
some of the ABC network‘s
prime-time hits and news shows
for free on-demand viewing in
cities where ABC owns stations
outright in Comcast territory.
such as San Francisco. New
York. Chicago. Houston and
Philadelphia.

“I don‘t think the last chapter in this has been
written.“ said Foster Petit. fomier mayor of Lex-

Apparently Petit needs to take a refresher

course in civics.

thought they knew best throughout history. and
generally the terms reserved for them are

"despot" or “dictator.“

The water condemnation battle has been a
long and hard fought one. It has demanded the
past two years and cost the city well over $1 mil-
lion in taxpayer dollars. The citizens voiced their

 

disapproval to their elected representatives on the

If you're holding a copy of to-
day's Kentucky Kernel. there’s a
good chance you’d rather be some-
where besides campus.

And based on the number of
empty seats that you’ll probably see
in your classes — assuming you
have more than one teacher that
hasn‘t canceled class today — most
of your friends and classmates have
already headed home for what‘s
supposed to be a four-day break.

For students — and instructors.
for that matter — who haven’t had
an academic holiday since Oct. 6.
can you really blame them for try—
ing to squeeze one more vacation

For students with several years
left at UK. there might be hope:
UK officials are considering extend—
ing the Thanksgiving break at the
expense of Fall Break. according to
an article in yesterday‘s Kernel.

Extending the Thanksgiving
break to three days would put UK
