Star of ‘Seabiscuit'

at Kentucky Horse Park

By Sara Hack
THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

A movie star is taking a
vacation in Lexington this
summer.

One of the Thorough-
breds used to portray the
legendary racehorse in last
year’s blockbuster film
Seabiscuit is staying at the
Kentucky Horse Park from
May 16 through September.

Many different horses
were used to portray
Seabiscuit in the film. de-
pending on their particular
talents.

“Rich in Dallas" was
used in the scene when
Seabiscuit’s trainer in-
structed the jockey to let
the horse “run ‘till he
stops.”

They went running
through the fields and over
a stone bridge at Xalapa. a
Kentucky Horse Farm.

“Rich in Dallas“ is on
loan to the park from a
thoroughbred rescue orga-
nization called the Exceller
Fund. an organization that
works to help save at-risk
Thoroughbreds.

The Kentucky Horse
Park had its own Seabiscuit
star named “1 Two Step
Too". but the horse was hu-
manely destroyed earlier
this year after a battle with

a rare type of tumor.

“While we still grieve
the loss of ‘1 Two Step Too'.
we are grateful to the Ex-
celler Fund for generously
allowing ‘Rich in Dallas‘ to
spend the summer with us.“
John Nicholson. executive
director of the Kentucky
Horse Park said in a earlier
press release.

“Literally thousands of
park visitors will get to
meet and touch a real
movie star."

Study says echinacea

useless against colds

By Karen Kaplan

tomorrows

Echinacea. the popular herbal remedy
for fighting the common cold. does not
ward off runny noses. sore throats or
headaches. nor does it help speed recovery
from cold symptoms. according to the re-
sults of a broad clinical trial to be reported
Thursday in the New England Journal of
Medicine.

Taken with other recent studies that
showed no benefit from echinacea. the new
findings shift the burden of proof to propo-
nents of herbal products to demonstrate
that the plant has medicinal value. re-
searchers said.

“We find no evidence that it actually
does anything to common cold symptoms."
said Dr. Ronald B. Turner. a professor of
pediatrics at the University of Virginia
School of Medicine and the study's lead au—
thor. “If that's the reason you’re buying it.
then you're wasting your money"

Echinacea enthusiasts said they do not
think the results of the study merit such a
clear-cut conclusion. They noted that
Turner and his colleagues used only the
root portion of one version of the plant
and said the dosage given was too low to
register any positive effect.

“This is a good contribution to the clin-
ical literature. but it's not the definitive
study on echinacea." said Mark Bliimeii
thal. executive director of the American
Botanical Council. a nonprofit group
backed by herbal supplement makers
whose logo includes a purple echinacea
flower. “1 just wish it had been a bigger
study with bigger dosages."

Echinacea. a member of the same plant
family as sunflowers and daisies. was used
for hundreds of years by more than a
dozen American Indian tribes to treat

siiakebites. toothaches. coughs and othet
ailments.

Western doctors began Y‘t‘i‘itliillil'liliillf'
it in the 19th century. It became popular ii.
the United States in the Titties as con
sumers embraced herbal alternatives to
traditional medicine. No less an Iilllhtit‘ltf.
than the World Health Organization recog
nized echinacea as a treatment for colds tr:
1999.

Americans spent $153 million on echi
nacea products last year. making it one ot
the five best-selling herbs in the country
according to the Nutrition Business .loui
nal. an industry publication based in San
Diego. It comes in capsules. tablets. totiics. 1
powders. lozenges. tea bags and even gum
my vitamins for children. But spending
has been declining steadily since 20th as
some users become disillusioned with the
product, said editor Grant Ferrier.

"With a lot of herbal botanicals. includ
ing echinacea. there's not a tangible et
fect."l~‘errier said. “It’s not like taking a pill
for a headache. A lot of it goes on faith.“

Widespread consumer faith in win;
nacea prompted the National (‘entei' lot

Camps give children and VCOUnselors chance to learn from each other

By Laura Clemmons
m: KENTUCKY mm

Imagine a summer camp
where each game. field trip.
sport or craft is tailored to
meet each campers needs.
The Lexington-Fayette Urban
County Government division
of Parks and Recreation puts
on two therapeutic recre-
ation fun camps that do just
that.

From June 13 to July 22.
therapeutic recreation fun
camps were held at Castle-
wood and Woodland Parks.
Campers age 5-12 attended
Castlewood while older
campers age 13-21 attended
Woodland.

These TR Fun Camps are
designed for all youth and
children with disabilities. At
first glance. it is hard to tell
who is a camper and who is a
counselor. At these camps.

it‘s all about having fun
both campers and counselors
can attest to that.

Director of the Woodland
camp. Caroline Beck. has
been involved with the TR
Fun Camps for six years.
Beck said campers aren't
used to having teachers and
counselors who are as pa-
tient as the TR Fun Camp
counselors are.

“It's cool because. at the
beginning of the summer. a
lot of the kids will be really
introverted and not talk or
play much. The goal is to get
everyone involved." Beck
said.

An average day at camp
involves a “morning circle."
Beck said. which is when
everyone at camp gets to in-
teract together through
games or songs. After morn-
ing circle. campers split off
into groups with a 3-l

camper to counselor ratio.

“At camps with typically
developing children there is
about a 12-l ratio so a lot of
parents are really excited
about the attention their
child gets at camp." Beck
said.

Each day campers particr
ipate in four activities that
are planned by their coun-
selors. Campers also get to
go on field trips. play at a
“carnival" and participate in
a talent show and mini-
Olympics. Beck said.

“The camp teaches inde-
pendence. A chance to do
something without the pri-
mary caregiver is very im-
portant." said Meg Steinman.

surer of the Downs Syn»

Beth (iodhey is director
of the (‘astlewood camp.
()odbey said that it is “in
credibly important" for
camps like the TR Fun
(Vamps to help integrate chil-
dren with disabilities into so»
ciety.

"Selflesteem is such a
huge issue with any person."
Godbey said. “Campers will
come in mad. with their de-
fenses up. expecting someone
to make fun of them. It may
take a couple of weeks but
they will start to make
friends and realize ‘Hey. the
counselors and campers
know my name. they really
like me.”

It is easy to see a huge
change in campers over the

the campers to feel less we
regated than they may feel at
school or other functions.
This helps the campers" be

“It warms your heart to
see that."

Steinman said that ili‘l'

budget cuts have impacted

said. Directors at the TR Fun
camps have been paid less in
the past than counselors at

cific extract of the herb. All of the ver-
’ sions were derived from the root of an
' Echinacea angustifolia plant and con-
tained the equivalent of 300 milligrams
of echinacea per dose.

The researchers recruited 437
healthy volunteers and gave them a
cold by squeezing droplets of the virus
into their noses. Some of the volun-
teers took echinacea three times a day
for one week before being infected. ()th-
ers started taking it the day they were
infected. and one group received a
placebo throughout the experiment.

Once infected. the volunteers were
sequestered for five days in hotel
rooms. where their symptoms were
carefully monitored,

Among other things, the volunteers

    

 

-, mostly college students ~~ endured
daily squirts of saltwater up their nos-
trils. After the water was expelled into
cups. researchers cultured the contents
to measure the level of different kinds
of antibodies.

Volunteers were also asked to keep
their used tissues and return them to
the researchers. who weighed them to
determine whether patients taking
echinacea produced less mucus than
those on the placebo.

At the end of the study, the re-
searchers could not discern any differ-
ence between patients who took any
form of echinacea and those who took
the placebo.

“None of the preparations we used
had any effect on either the rate of in-
fection or the severity of illness." Turn-
er said.

Echinacea advocates insisted the
study would have shown an effect if the
dosage had been higher

“We do a minimum of 900 mil-
ligrams three times a day." said Dr.
Mary Jo DiMilia. an assistant clinical

professor of medicine at Mount Sinai
Hospital School of Medicine in New
York, who describes herself as a satis-
fied echinacea user and recommends
the herb to patients at least 10 times a
week. She acknowledged. however. that
there are no clinical trials proving echi-
nacea is effective at that dose.
Blumenthal, of the American
Botanical Council, said the homemade
compounds used in the study “do not
correlate directly to any product con-
sumers are using in the marketplace."

It would be inappropriate, he said.
to assume the results of this study hold
true for products made from different
kinds of echinacea plants or that use
the flowers and leaves instead of the

FOOT.

Turner said his team -- which in-
cluded some echinacea devotees --
stayed away from off-the-shelf products
because they couldn't know exactly
in them. The echinacea
dosages they used were recommended

New study gives clues to the wanderlust of cancer

By Delthia Ricks
NTWSDAY

Some cancers possess a potential-
ly deadly wanderlust that causes
them to spread from one organ to an-
other. and now scientists in Manhat-

jtan have unmasked the genes that
trigger breast cancers to invade the
lungs. according to an analysis that
will be released Thursday.

The finding is considered a land-
mark because it is proof that a spe
cific genetic signature eXists for each
type of cancer and the organ to
which it spreads.

Writing in Thursday's issue of
the journal Nature. scientists at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering (‘ancer

the long-kept secrets of metastasis.
the reason cancers become danger-
(“15.

"First and foremost. these find-
ings are about the basic biology of
metastasis. anti the example we used
to investigate it is the metastasis of
breast cancer to the lung.” said Dr.
Gaorav (iiipta. one of two lead inves-

'tigators who tensed out the genetic
' secrets in a study involving a special
breed of mice.

The imnitine-conipromised ani-
mals were infused with human
breast catitet cells fiom a patient

breast cancer.

“Using the (mouse) model. we
identified a set of genes that we were
able to show mediates this process."
he said of cancer straying to a specif-
ic site.

“Basically. the genes are largely
composed of those that are involved
in the communication of tumor cells
with the environment they are trying
to live in."

In short. there is what Gupta calls
“crosstalk" between the cancer and
the waiting and vulnerable . en-
vironment of the lung. Think of this
devastating communication as a
predator sweet-talking its prey into a
deadly trap.

Dr. Bruce Zetter. chief scientific
officer of (‘hildren's Hospital iii
Boston and one of the nation‘s lead»
itig experts on cancer metastasis.
says the study opens a new window
of understanding and adds credence
to a liS-yearold theory called “seed
and soil." which postulated why can-
cers spread.

“This study is important because
it (it‘ll‘lOllStI‘alCS that there is a genet-
ic signature that distinguishes
metastatic breast cancer cells from
nonmetastatic cells. This is some-
thing that has been proposed before.
but this study shows it in an ex-
tremely thoughtful and careful man-

 
 
  

 

ner." said Zetter. who is also a profes-
sor at Harvard Medical School. He
was not involved in the Sloan-Ketter-
ing research.

“They have found why a breast tu—
mor is not only metastatic. biit why it
is particularly likely to metastasize
to the lungs as opposed to the bone or
other sites where breast cancer can
spread." Zetter added.

“This is. in fact. an age-old ques-
tion in cancer research. We always
knew that specific tumors went to
certain sites. but we didn't know
which genes dictated where they
went. So it was important to study
breast cancer because it doesn‘t go
all over the body. but to specific
sites."

Gupta. meanwhile. said knowing
the genetic signature of breast can-
cer‘s invasive potential to the lungs
provides a new target that can help
clinicians identify patients whose
cancers are likely to invade the lungs

and seed new tumors there.

He said the next step in the study
is to better understand the nature of
the crosstalk between the tumor and
the environment to which it spreads.
Knowing details on that process will
help doctors treat patients whose
cancers are predestined to stray.

satire out of serious subject matter. includ-
ing suicide and murder.

The twisted story begins with V3ronica
Sawyer (Winona Ryder). a beautiful. but
cynical teen who wants to be apart of the
“incrowd”. although she cannot stand the
popular girls. all three named Heather.

The Heathers (played by Lisanne Falk.
Kim V1. 1111111 and the deliciously evil Shan-
nen l)ohe1ty) are the epitomy ot snobby.
rich bitchv bitches who get their iollies
from making fun of a fat girl they dubbed
“Dumptruck” and making everyone who
differs from them feel inferior.

()ne of the best parts of the film is its
emphasis 1m conformity and the fear of
standing out of a crowd.

Veronica‘s three adversaries. who em-
bodv all that is conformity. dress alike, talk
alike and all come from money. There is no
room for individuality in the house of
Heathers.

Although Veronica loathes the idea of
being friends with the Heathers (which
is vehemently expressed in her comedic

For the past 15 years. the blind popula-
tion of the region has depended on Central
Kentucky Radio Eye as an outlet for daily
news and current events.

But in less than three months, the radio
reading service housed on UK‘s campus
will be forced to cease operations if a new
home is not found.

That's because two weeks ago. after a
decade and a half of free rent and utilities
from UK. the university told the non-profit
organization it would be forced to take
back the program’s offices in M.I. King
Library due to growth in UK's enrollment.
research and academic programs.

While property on campus is becoming
more and more important to the universi-
ty due to the recent unprecedented growth.
UK could have given more notice to this
integral program. ensuring that Central

Kentucky Radio Eye could continue to
serve news consumers of the region.

Founded by UK professor Al Crabb in
1990. the radio reading service has grown
to provide about 1,500 visually impaired
Central Kentuckians with daily stories
from local publications such as the
Lexington Herald-Leader and the Courier
Journal. as well as national news and
entertainment magazines.

The services this organization provides
to locals with disabilities are essential to
the continued education of all that receive
them. and the cessation of the program
would be devastating to the blind commu-
nity of Central Kentucky.

But, if new office space is not found,
the end of this program could be immi-
nent.

That‘s where the university comes in.

After 15 years of giving Central
Kentucky Radio Eye a place to grow and
prosper, it's now up to UK to do the volun-
teers and recipients of the program one
last favor: find it a permanent home.

With an annual working budget of only
$35,000, there's no possible way the organi-
zation can continue to serve the communio
ty if it is forced to pay non-operation costs.

“If we had to pay rent and utilities, we
could not stay in business,” the service’s
volunteer executive director Margaret
Chase told the Herald-Leader last week.
“The university has provided us with this
wonderful support. I had no indication
this was coming."

Although UK could have told the read-
ing service further in advance of its
impending eviction. university officials
have vowed to do whatever they can to

     
   
  
  
    
     
   
  
   
   
    
  
  
    
    
    
   
   
   

Reading service needed more notice before shutdown

assist Central Kentucky Radio Eye in its
search for a new home.

Interim Provost Scott Smith acknowl-
edged last week that UK had no timetable
for the transition, but said the university
will begin working “immediately" with
the service to ensure all of its needs are
met in the future.

“It was always our intent — and it
remains our intent — to continue helping
this important organization maintain its
mission and service,” Smith said.

Smith and other UK officials must fol-
low up on this promise.

Because for the last 15 years this has
been more than just a simple service for so
many people — it has been an outlet to the
region and the world.

And that’s something that cannot be
replaced.
