Gov. Steve Beshear stood outside
the Student Center of his alma mater
Thursday. decked out in a black suit.
holding a cup of Starbucks coffee. Be-~
fore him was “0an Del Sol 111." UK's
solar car. which completed the North
American Solar Car Challenge. a 10-
day. 2.400—milc trek from Plano. Texas
to Calgary. Alberta. Canada. this surn—
mer.

Removing his jacket and setting
down his coffee. Beshear lowered him»
self into the car‘s metal frame. crossing
his arms and legs as a group of stu-
dents froni the UK College of Engi-
neering Solar Car Team lowered a shell

of blue solar panels over his head.
Laughing, the govemor pressed the ac-
celerator and drove down Administra~
tion Drive. ﬂanked by the solar car
team and a horde of photographers.

The ride followed a news confer-
ence led by Beshear, UK President Lee
Todd and Kentucky Lottery President
Arch Gleason. The Kentucky Lottery
Corporation celebrated their one-bil—
lionth dollar funded for Kentucky
Higher Education Assistance Authority
scholarships and grants.

"That is billion, with a B." Beshear
said.

The Kentucky Lottery Corporation
has funded about 1.14 million scholar~
ship and grant awards since 1999. for a
total of $1.16 billion. since it began to

transfer revenue from the General Fund
to education funding. according to a
neWs release published by the Ken-
tucky Lottery Corporation. Of that
money. over 93.000 awards and $130
million have gone to UK.

More than 11.000 awards totaling
$19.5 million were awarded to UK stu-
dents in 2008.

"Kentucky voters approved the lot—
tery on the promise that it would bene—
fit education. So far. that promise has
been fulfilled." Beshear said.

man. said she always dreamed of col-

lt‘s not too often a lady l1\cs beyond
her funeral.

About three weeks after a public
ceremony mourning the loss of The
Dame‘s old block. the live music venue
will open its doors Friday night.

lts new location. at 367 E. Main
Street. will be part of the Main Street
Live complex. The Dame will occupy
the Club Level and the AIA Concert
Level.

Opening night begins with The
Talking Heads tribute band. Same As It
Ever Was. Following the performance is
an '80s dance party. The cover charge is
$7. and Main Street Liic will provide a
dining menu. a beach volleyball court
and acoustic and karaoke acts.

The two buildings are connected.
and customers will have the freedom to
go from venue to venue.

The reopening is already causing
excitement. said Dame owner Tom Yost.

“This is definitely going to be the
largest and coolest entertainment corri-
plex in Lexington he said.

The Danie closed its West Main

Street location in June. which was de-
molished in July to make way for the
CentrePointe hotel and condominium
complex.

Since the announcement several
weeks ago that the deal between The
Dame and Main Street Live was final.
Yost and others have been Working to
get the venue up and running when it
opens its doors at 9 pm. Friday.

Recaptiiring that “Dame look" was
necessary to complete the move to the
new location. Yost said.

Silhouettes of women adorn furni-
ture and vintage posters featuring major
entertainment figures such as James
Dean hang from the walls. Even the bar
that was used at the old location has
been restored to serve Danie—goers once

While the ticket booth still needed
finishing and numerous posters had yet
to be hung Thursday afternoon. the
stage and lighting equipment was ready
to go. Yost said

"We _|‘tl\l need to put a shine on the
place lic said.

That "shine" includes a closed-cir-
cuit camera. which will broadcast live
music from the main stage to a televi~
sion in the loutigc in the front of the
building. which doubles as a dance
room.

In about sis months. the venue will
be able to post their shows on the Inter-
net. Yost said.

"We feel lllsL‘ it‘s time to bring in the
\\ hole iiitiltinicdia experience." Yost
said.

Patrick Martin. a vocal music _iiinior.
was disappointed when The Dame
closed because it w as the only place for
"good live music." he said.

However. With The Dame's come—
back. Martin is curioiis to see lust
how different the music venue will
look.

“I‘m definitely going Friday to
check it out he said.

Author’s

success

remains
strong

By Katie Salt:

k s athETrWeEeTco m

Kim Edwards credits part of her success to
secrets.

“Everybody has secrets." Edwards said.
“Everybody has secrets kept from them.“

Secrets are pan of the plot for Edwards'
novel “The Memory Keeper‘s Daughter." which
is 35th on The New York Times‘ paperback
trade fiction best—seller list more than two years
after coming out as a paperback novel

Even after its success in the US. Edwards.
who is an assistant professor of English at UK.
said the book has been published in more than
15 countries.

The success of the novel across the globe is
a mystery. Edwards said. but she thinks it has
something to do with the human nature of bid
ing something you regret.

"There is something universal about the idea
of secrets." she said.

The no\el centers around the story of twins:
one born healthy and one bom with Down syn-
drome. Dr. David Henry. the father. decides to
take the baby with Down syndrome to an insti~
tution. However. Caroline. the nurse. decides to
keep the infant.

The story. which spans about 25 years. is
about both families discovering and discussing
their pasts

When the book first came out in hardcover
in 2005. Edwards said ll became popular slowly.
The novel gained buzz by word of mouth as
book clubs began to read it. she said.

Then in 2006. the book came out in paper-
back and was an oveniight success

"We had reprint orders two days after publi—
cation." Edwards said.

The sudden fame was unexpected. Edwards
said. because it is so difficult to have that kind
of reaction in the world of literature.

"You can never predict at all what will hap-
pen to a story w hen it goes out into the world."
she said. ' {That success is) so extremely rare for
authors."

The novel’s success moved from the page to
the TV screen this year. \\ hen Lifetime Televi-
sion adapted the story into a movie. Edwards
said she was concemed about how the filmmak-
ers would interpret her work

“There are some things in books you can‘t
do in movies." she said. "But you have to take
that risk."

Edwards said she was hands-off in the
moviemaking process. which she said is a typi-
cal role for an author on a movie set.

"The movie business is a whole different
thing from the wnting business. 1 was not very
involved." she said. “I wasn't interested."

She visited the set once. which she said was
fun. but when ﬁlming wrapped up and she saw the
finished project for the ﬁrst time. she was shocked.

“When 1 saw (the movie). I was disorient—
ed." she said. “They left out a tremendous
amount,"

With the novel‘s popularity still thriving.
Edwards said she is recognized more now. Trav-
eling and meeting extraordinary people are the
fame‘s perks. but after writing for more than 25
years. she felt comfortable with many parts of
her life as they existed before the novel.

“My life has changed in lots of different
ways. and other parts of my life 1've tried to
keep the same." she said. “The ways 1 centered
my life. the decisions 1 made. I love living that
way and haven‘t made any dramatic changes."

Edwards is currently working on a new
novel. but she said she is not revealing any de-
tails since it is still taking form. She is current-
ly on sabbatical from UK. but said she has
every intention of returning to teach creative
writing.

“I love to teach." she said. “I‘ve always
loved to teach."
