Beer and
hair dye?

Some things make great
combinations. Snow
and hills make a
great spot to go
sledding. Pitchers
and thirsty people, is
yet another example.
Pizza and corn. no
wait, that's just what
the high school lunch
ladies thought made
a good combination.
Here are some other
good and not so good
combinations.

Bad - Any store where
you can buy both
beer and hair dye.
Who was the genius
that allowed this to
happen? I mean.
think of the mental
scarring involved
with at least the five
other people in the
world that have made
the mistake of
combining those two
products. No
seriously - think
about it. See, it is
funny.

Good — College students
and happy hour.
Makes for a great
time unless Brutus
thinks that fighting
makes him look more
appealing to Sue. in
which case someone
is going to the
hospital and someone
else is going either
to jail or home alone.

Bad- A Superman cape
and a large cliff. Do I
really need to spell
this one out?

Good - Roller coasters
and those restraining
devices that keep
you in the seat.
Roller coasters would
not be nearly as fun
if you went over that
first hill and
everyone fell out.
King's Island would
definitely go out of
business.

Bad - Friends that you
know and love who
have a Santa
costume and are
having a Christmas
Party but have no
Santa. Let's just say I
have something stuck
in my head. "Ho Ho
Ho."

Good- Pizza and beer. A
classic staple of
college life.
Enjoyable either for
lunch, dinner, or
breakfast.

Student rescues family of four

A distressed plane: Student and pilot assist in landing a
plane with carbon monoxide leak; save a family of four

By Ashley York

Ensure ncws [0|th

Jeff Larkiii boarded a plane last Thurs
day morning intending to spot elk for his
dissertation research.

But instead of spotting the endangered
species. Larkin spotted a family in danger.

Larkin. a graduate student in the Col-
lege of Forestry. said he and Mark Clem-
meris. a state helicopter pilot and flight in»
structor. were flying northeast of Hazard iii
Robinson Forest (UK research forest)
Thursday at approximately 11:00 am when
they received a call on the radio from one of

their co-workers telling them to listen be
cause he thought they might be of some as-
sistance to a distressed airplane.

Larkin and (‘lemmens tuned in.

After listening for a couple of minutes.
Marcia Bailey. the pilot of the distressed
plane. radioed them and told them that
Tom. her husband and initial pilot of the
flight. had passed out while flying. She also
told them that their two children. Lauren
and Karen. were on board.

"It sounded like a massacre or a
tragedy of some sort like a 911 call."
Larkiii said about the panicking radio sig-
nals that included vomiting. crying and

deliriousiiess.

She continued to tell
them that their single en
giiie low wing plane was
low on fuel. The left tank
was empty anti the right
only had onefourth of a
tank.

“I was certain I would
witness a plane crash."
Larkin said.

Larkin and (‘leme
meris continued listening and were still un-
sure of the aircraft's location until the Indi-
anapolis Center (the center Marcia Bailey
contacted for assistance) contacted them.
telling them the aircraft was only eight
miles from their location near Ila/ard flying
at 2.200 feet.

Larkiii said they flew in the direction

A horse is a horse: The horses from Horsemania made close to $800,000
for charity; the biggest bid was for Stonewall at $53,000

By Kelly Price

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The mania that has gripped Lexingtonians by
the reigns since the summer ended Saturday night
when residents said goodbye to the fine equine
works of art. known as Horsemania. at an auction
at Keeneland Sales Pavilion.

The auction consisted of 79 Horsemania
horses. and a iatt“T)i()0111lng. Iastvniinute entry.
Blueglass. a colt covered entirely in blue shards
of glass.

Each horse was assigned a hip number to
identify them. and a catalogue containing pictures
and descriptions placed in selling order was creat
ed for the event.

Bids started at $2.000. and were set at a re-
serve for $3.700.

No reserve was needed. however. because all
horses sold for beyond the set price.

Opening the auction was l'iiiquely Bluegrass.
done by artist Suzonne Hall and sponsored by (‘or»
iiett Advertising and Lexington (‘onveiition and
Visitors Bureau.

The touristsite covered horse ignited the auc-
tion by selling for $8.300.

Taking the highest bid of the night was
Stonewall. the stone-covered equine that knelt for
months at the corner of Main Street and Mill

Street. Damon Farmer‘s creation went for 353.000.

Taking second was I'K journalism professor
Maria Braden's favorite of the Horsemania hots
es. Armored Horse. a copperplated model that
sold for $41000.

[,‘K made an impressive show at the auction as
well. Professors Robert James Foose. Gary Bibbs.
Arturo Alonzo and Robert Tharsing were the
artists of horses up for auction.

I'K students (‘hris Sullivan and Raellyn Hat-
ter also had horses in the mix. Pooka Dot. a color-
ful and dot-covered horse created by Hatter sold
for $4.500,

“It went for quite a bargain compared to the
others. but it sold and l was glad for that." Hatter
said.

“And the buyer said he‘s going to donate it
back to the city. which means he‘ll have a home in
Lexington."

The equestrian portrait of wildcat sports
stars. appropriately named Katfaridu donned the
autograph of Tim (‘ouch and sold for $12,000.

The auction brought a total of $757,600. Pro»
ceeds from each horse were divided in half.

()iie Iialf of the proceeds goes to the Lexington
Arts and (‘ultural Council. Art Fund for Public
Art and the other half goes to the charity of the
sponsor's choice.

I was certain
