Each year, the Lexington Humane Society cares for more than 1 1,000 homeless, abandoned animals and puts them up for adoption. Programs such as Spay's the Way,
which provides discounted or free spaying and neutering to low-income pet owners, are meant to reduce the number of homeless animals.

Program gives cheap for for pet expenses

By Robin Pircher

news@kykernel. com

Students may find it hard to say “no"
to a furry companion. but many are un—
aware of the mounting costs and respon-
sibilities that come with a pet.

Pet owners have the chance to get
one important service — spaying or neu—
tering — for a low cost through the Lex-
ington Humane Society‘s Spay‘s the
Way program.

“Many people aren‘t aware the re-
sources are out there. or of the impor-
tance of spaying or neutering their ani-
mals." said Kristin Palmgreen. manager
of special projects and innovations at the
Lexington Humane Society.

A normal spaying or neutering for a
cat or dog can cost several hundred dol-
lars after shots and other examinations.
Palmgreen said. and the purpose of

Spay s the Way is to help pet owners
who cannot afford the full cost.

Luther James. veterinarian and own—
er of Scott County Animal Clinic. has
seen many student pet owners and said
he understands the financial drain it can
be on a college student's pocket.

“To spay or neuter can cost you any-
where between $50 to $300. but it de—
pends on the location. if you are in a big
city. it’s going to cost more than if you
were here." James said. “l‘m just glad
we have the amount of first-time owners
that get their pet the surgery and under~
stand how important it is."

Spay‘s the Way also includes rabies
vaccinations and city pet licensing.
Palmgreen said. The program is offered
throughout the year. but includes more
clinics and drawings for free gifts during

By Leticia Jenes

news@kykernel.com

Beauty. food and dancing are
part of the focus of Alpha Kappa Al-
pha Sorority lnc.'s annual Total
Body Takeover week that kicks off
today.

“AKA has always focused on
promoting good and healthy prac-
tices among women." said Sade
Jackson. public relations officer for
AKA. “This year we still wanted to
promote that but focus on some dif-
ferent events to involve everyone."

Today from noon to 2 pm.
AKA will pass out apples across
from Starbucks in the Student Cen-
ter to promote a healthy lifestyle and
to educate people about various cul-
tures and their health issues and
practices.

“This week is simply about ap-
preciating and educating ourselves
and our peers about the beauty and
complexity of other cultures." said
Alise Marshall. president of AKA.

The sorority is tackling health
and cultural awareness during this
year‘s event. themed “The Color of
One." Marshall said.

AKA will offer a cooking class
and a sampling of international dish-
es tomorrow night from 6 to 8 in
room 208 of Erikson Hall. The class
will be an opportunity to experience
new foods and learn how to prepare
healthy dishes. Jackson said.

On Wednesday in room 359 of
the Student Center. the group will
showcase capoeira. a Brazilian mar-
tial arts form. from 6 to 7 pm.

“Capoeira is a great form of exer—
cise." Jackson said. “Looking at all
cultures can promote health aware-
ness to revamp your body with the
versatility of these programs.“

Total Body Takeover week will
also feature “Pretty AKross the
World" on Thursday night from 6
to 8 in room 363 of the Student
Center. to learn about different cul-
tures and their perceptions of
beauty. Free makeovers will be of-

mmmwmnm

fered and a hair stylist from Sister
2 Sister beauty salon will also be
available.

Erica McClellan. vice president
of AKA. said she is excited about
Friday's “Dancing Around the
Globe" in the Martin Luther King Jr.
Cultural Center from 5 to 7 pm. in-
dian. salsa and hip-hop dance lessons
will be taught by three experienced
instructors. McClellan said.

“All of the different dance genres
are a great experience someone could
do all in one day." she said.

The events are not specifically
targeted for African—Americans or
females. Marshall said. and all stu-
dents. faculty and staff can take
something away from the week‘s
events.

“Nothing is more empowering
than knowledge." Marshall said.
“AKA is allowing people to learn
something daily at the events and I
encourage everyone to come to em-
power yourself by opening your
mind to the colors around us."

Dressed in full 19thmcentury cos-

formed a oneperson play personifying
the life of Emily Dickinson.

Woods. a recent UK graduate. put
on the hour—long production of "The
Belle of Amherst" for local high school
juniors to tell the story of the poet and
to promote "the opportunities of the De—

programs coordinator for undergraduate
education.

Woods was one of over 125 UK un-

Web site (wwwukycdu.

The majority of students choose to
display their research using a poster or
an oral presentation. Riisscll said. but
there are not a lot of limitations.

The Showcase for ['ndergraduatc
Scholars was developed three years ago
in order to help L'K reach the up?“ no
tioiial status. Russell said. and 1K Pres-
ident Lcc Todd is ”extreriiel} supportive
but unfortunately \vrll not be able to at;
tend this year."

Russell belicvcs that participation iii
the Showcase can put students a step
above other students

“The sooner the} can get involved
in education orrtsrdc of the classroom.
the better the) are going to be the
better strident. the better individual. a
much more “ell—rounded person." Rus-
scll said

The event gives students and faculty
the opportunity to see the kinds of pro-
jects and research that is bcriig dotie by
undergraduates in various colleges at ['K

"Research is taking place iii any
discipline across campus. and thc \hmx .
case is an example of that.” Russcll
said.

This year. the showcase vi ill be held

reading because it gets weirder.

I‘m sitting at

nine other people

a gtiy named Book:~

something like that
— from MTV's
“The Real World."

And it was one
of the weirdest ex-
periences of my
life. So here‘s my
story.

One of the nine people fought in
Iraq for 18 months. Two of them are
funny. Two guys say that the most com—
mon misconception about them is that
they‘re homosexuals. And one of the
girls is pretty hot.

More than 11,000 homeless.
abandoned and unwanted animals
are brought to the Lexington Hu-
mane Society each year. Palm-
green said. The organization has
taken efforts to reduce these num—
bers by spaying or neutering every
adopted pet and offering a low-
cost option for current pet owners.

The overpopulation in Lexing—
ton reflects a nationwide trend.

with live to six million dogs or
cats entering into shelters each
year. Palmgreen said.

Spaying or neutering provides
many health benefits. Palmgreen
said. Pets who do not have the pro»
cedure can express territorial be-
havior. aggression and personality
changes. It l‘emalc pets are not
spayed. the animals can experience
problems with infection during
heat cycles and can develop prob—
lems with their reproductive organs
as well as complications from
pregnancy. Neutering a pet can
also reduce the chance of cancer
and prolong the animal's life by
two or three years. Palmgreen said.

“I‘ve had mariy compliments
and happy clients alter the surgery.
They were just happy to get it
done and not have to worry." said
James. the veterinarian.

The surgery isn‘t complicated
and takes one to two hours on av-
erage. James said. Alter the proce-
