College has prescription for excellenceBy Chris Robbins

[email protected]

A new resident has taken over 789 S. Lime-stone.

A crowd of around 200, including students,faculty and staff, gathered outside the new Col-lege of Pharmacy building for the ribbon cuttingceremony Monday.

The new building, which was completed inDecember, is the first part of what will be thenew academic medical center on Limestone, ac-cording to the College of Pharmacy Web site. Ithas two 219-seat auditoriums, a 110-seat class-room, a 54-seat classroom and cost $132 millionto build.

“This facility challenges students and faculty

to do more,” said Patrick McNamara, interimdean of the College of Pharmacy.

Gov. Steve Beshear said the building is amilestone for UK.

“Watching the growth on the south end ofcampus has been such a thrill for me,” Beshearsaid. “There’s no question that the Common-wealth’s medical campus of the future will be amajor catalyst for boosting health and economicdevelopment.”

McNamara said the basement and first threefloors of the new facility are complete and opera-tional, but the remaining two floors, which willhouse laboratory space for research, have notbeen completed.

No. 1

By Metz [email protected]

Everything has changed for theUK men’s basketball team, yet every-thing is the same.

For the first time since the end ofthe 2002-03 regular season, the Cats(19-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) arethe No. 1 team in the land. But the play-ers don’t think being No. 1 will be anydifferent than it has been all season.

“I feel like it’s the same pressureas it was when we were number twoor number three,” UK freshman guardJohn Wall said. “All it is, is you’renumber one in the country, you’re acouple spots up.”

The Cats have stressed the entireseason that they are every team’s Su-per Bowl because of who they are andthe name on their jersey. The fact thatthe Cats are the No. 1 team in the na-tion will be a new challenge to a teamthat UK head coach John Caliparisaid is maturing.

“I think our kids are excited aboutit and I think they wanted to be num-ber one, which is a good sign,” Cali-pari said. “Now we’re trying to teachthem what it means to be numberone.”

Bobby Halsey, 77, pets his cat, C.G., in the woodshop of his house near Harrodsburg, Ky. Halsey has been working with wood for 50 years and now cur-rently turns historic flooring removed from Memorial Coliseum in May 2007, seen in the foreground, into walking canes.

MEMORIES OF MEMORIALKentucky craftsman presents custom cane to former UK basketball coach

By Roy [email protected]

Bobby Halsey reclines in achair in the Solid ROC Cafe inImmanuel Baptist Church, wait-ing for Joe B. Hall. A chalk-board shows the day’s specials.Conversation is scattered amongsmall tables. One chef runsmeals to the guests. And leaningagainst Halsey's leg is a canecrafted from pieces of the floorfrom Memorial Coliseum — agift to Hall from Halsey's hands.

As Hall, the former UKmen's basketball coach who ledthe Cats to a national champi-onship in 1978, walks into thecafe, he does not receive theroaring reception he once heardwhen he led the Cats onto thehardwood. But he still finds awarm welcome from a few sea-soned, die-hard UK fans whoalways wear Hall's favorite col-or.

Halsey, a lifetime Wildcatfan and skilled wood craftsman,approaches the 81-year-old Halland the two shake hands. Theytalk about basketball and tellstories of times passed. Finally,Hall spots the cane in Halsey'shands and a smile crosses hisface. Halsey passes the cane toHall and begins to tell its histo-ry, but Hall interrupts, laughing.

“You know, I need (a cane)these days,” Hall said.

One man's trash is anotherman's treasure

In May 2007, Halsey wasdriving through the UK campuson the way to his grandsons'baseball game and saw some-thing strange. Students were

clamored around Memorial Col-iseum jockeying for woodenplanks.

On closer inspection, Halseylearned the gym floor where hun-dreds of UK athletes had com-peted was being replaced, andthe floorboards were up forgrabs. As a former wood shopteacher, Halsey had one thing onhis mind: Getting a piece of his-tory.

Sorority girls were dumpsterdiving.

He went with them.“The average person outside

of Kentucky doesn't experiencethe kind of passion people inKentucky have for the state uni-versity,” Halsey said. “It's justmemorabilia, but if you don'thave any of that you need tostart collecting it. It'll get awayfrom you.”

Over time, Halsey settled onmaking decorative canes fromthe discarded floorboards.

“When I decided to make acane, the first thought that cameto mind was that canes are forold people,” Halsey said. “But Ididn’t design this for people towalk with and beat dogs andwild cats off with. It’s more ofsomething to hang on a mantle.”

Hall is not the only UKcelebrity to receive a Halsey-crafted cane.

Bill Keightley, who spent 48seasons as UK’s basketballequipment manager, received acane and was so overjoyed withthe gift that Halsey asked forKeightley's signature on a cer-tificate of authenticity includedwith every cane.

After finding where former UK basketball coach Joe B. Hall dines forlunch, Bobby Halsey waited at Immanuel Baptist Church to surprise Hallwith the custom-made walking cane. Halsey and Hall's relationshipgoes back to when their children attended school together, and thecane, Hall said, has much significance to him.

Actor Paul Wesley was often in trouble when hewas a teenager. In fact, he was booted out of two highschools in New Jersey, where he grew up. "I was a littlebit of a troublemaker, not in a malicious way," he says,

easing his lean body into an over-stuffed chair in a hotel room here.

"But I'm glad. I'm glad I didn'tconform to the system of the school.I'm a law-abiding citizen now. Ihaven't brought it to the sound-stage," he grins.

The first altercation happenedat a private Catholic boys' school. "Itwas with a bunch of jock-y, racist

kids. I thought, 'This is an expensive school. My parentspaid a lot of money.' And I got into a fight EVERY day. Itwas just like this weird atmosphere.

"And they finally kicked me out, and I was reallydepressed about it. And then later it dawned upon methat, thank God, I didn't fit in with those kids because Idon't want to be anything like those kids. So that'swhen I realized it was OK to sort of do my own thing.That's kind of like when I found a safe haven in acting. Ithink it may have been a catalyst."

Wesley did earn his degree, but schooling was al-ways secondary to his acting career which materializedwhen he was 16. "I got forced to do a school play whenI was in the third grade because we all had to, it was bydefault. And I was miserable and embarrassed that Ihad to do it. They put me in a "Phantom" mask, and Iwas miserable at first. But then I kind of fell in love withit and ended up being, I guess, according to the teacher,pretty good at it," he says.

That teacher cast him in every play at elementaryschool. "No matter how academic I was, no matter how

much my father stressed studies, I always gravitated to-ward the arts because to me _ you can read as manytextbooks as you like _ but to me life is about observingpeople and understanding things and nature. And art tome captures all that. It's just invaluable and I can'timagine doing anything else."

Though he's been an employable actor since hisvoice changed, intense attention focused on him whenWesley was cast as Stefan, the good vampire brotheron the CW's "The Vampire Diaries." Like everything elsein his career it was tough landing the job, but Wesleywasn't about to give up.

"I had to really fight for it because ... they were be-ing pretty meticulous about the actor. They didn't knowif they wanted to go with someone 17 or someone inhis 20s. 'What do we need to do because we have toget that worldly thing where the person's been alive for160 years but yet maintain innocence.' Understandablyit was difficult."

He kept reading for the role of Damon, the badvampire brother. "And they decided no on that. When Iinitially read the script, it was Stefan, but they didn'tsee me as Stefan. Then after casting Ian (Somerhalder)as Damon, I think they thought this could work."

The casting people had seen hundreds of possibleStefans by the time Wesley forged his last try.

"I finally went in after reading a bunch of times andit was literally me and nine other guys _ a couple fromAustralia, a couple from London and some from NewYork. And a week later I was on the set filming. But itwas way worth it, I'll tell you that much. It's the great-est part I've ever played. It's a little more fun to play thevillain, but this is the most challenging thing I've everdone and the thing I've fallen in love with the most."

Wesley’s a proud non-conformist

When Friday night turnsinto the wee hours of Satur-day morning and hungerstrikes, college students be-come scavengers devouringthe first prey in sight.

Unfortunately for thewaistline, this prey usuallycomes in the form of a fast-food burger, burrito or bag ofchips stashed in a dorm room.

Now there’s a new alter-native for the scavenger thatsaves money and spares thewaistline.

Three Louisville nativeshave teamed up to create anonline video series designedto demonstrate how to cooklate-night dishes in a flavor-ful, yet economical way. The“Drunken Cooking, Vegetar-ian Style” cast and crew in-cludes the chef, Lauren Mur-rell; the assistant, JonPalmer and the cameraman,Brian Cunningham.

The cast and crew havetaken the name “DrunkenCooking” to heart in moreways than one. They preparecuisine intended to taste deli-cious while inebriated, butthey are actually under theinfluence while cooking.Cunningham says drinkingwhile producing the show isthe one thing he insists on100 percent.

“There are too many

scripted reality shows outthere,” he said. “When yousee us taking shots, we’rereally taking shots. If youfeel like the camera work is alittle sloppier at the end thanat the beginning, you’reprobably right.”

Cunningham, who worksfor a video production com-pany in Louisville, said theidea for the show was bornone evening when the threefriends were cooking whileintoxicated.

“I wondered if anyonewould be as entertained by itas we were,” Cunninghamsaid. “It turned out to be sur-prisingly educational.”

Murrell worked in finedining in Lexington, whereshe acquired her informationon cooking, as well as tricksof the trade.

On the show’s Web site,www.drunkencookingshow.c

om, one can find episodes ofthe show as well as Lauren’sHelpful Hints.

Cunningham said theshow will officially launchon Feb. 1, with a newepisode posted every Sun-day. He said to keep every-one’s appetite satisfied, Lau-ren’s Helpful Hints will beposted every few days.

“Some (hints) are funnyand some are very straight-forward,” Cunningham said.

The Web show has re-ceived a positive response,except for a few vegetariansand vegans concerned aboutthe use of eggs in some ofthe show’s recipes.

“Jon and I are meateaters, but Lauren happensto be a vegetarian,” Cun-ningham said. “So if she’sleading the show, we’re notgoing to be eating meat.”

Cunningham didn’t havemuch money as a collegestudent and wished he knewhow to cook instead of din-ing at expensive restaurants.

“Anyone can turn onFood Network, but I want toknow what I can make with apackage of Ramen noodles,cream of mushroom soupand some cheese,” he said.

The next episode will beposted on Feb. 1. New infor-mation and updates aboutthe show can be found onFacebook, Twitter, YouTubeand www.drunkencooking-show.com.

Goodman received the extension awardfor aiding the citizens of Hickman Countyduring last January’s ice storm.

“I was just doing my job to help others, soI wasn’t expecting it,” Goodman said. “It wasvery nice, and I was very humbled.”

Easter, who has taught at UK for morethan 20 years and established the Textile Test-ing Laboratory, is the winner of the researchaward for work in her department.

“I enjoy research and engaging graduateand undergraduate students in the research ex-

perience,” Easter said. “I think it gives themreal world experience that they can take withthem to the job market.”

Stephenson won the teaching award forlecturing on nutrition and food science.

“I am very appreciative of Mrs. Todd andall she has done for the university and for theHuman Environmental Sciences Department,”Stephenson said.

Any faculty member at UK is eligible fornomination, and winners are selected for ac-complishing a high level of excellence that hasbenefited the people of Kentucky, Vail said. Thedepartment gave winners a plaque and $1,000.

“(Patsy Todd) participates in our activitiesand is very supportive of students and alums,”Vail said. “We are focused on improving thequality of life for individuals and families, andher career has also been focused on that.”

“We hope to begin con-struction on the top two floorsin July 2010 and finish towardthe end of 2011,” McNamarasaid. “Initially we had hopedto finish all construction by2010, but we couldn’t securefunding, so we finished theacademic areas first.”

The college is waiting ona grant from the National In-stitute of Health to finish thefourth floor, and matchingfunds from the universitywill complete the fifth, Mc-

Namara said. Classrooms on the first

and second floor featurewireless Internet access andteleconferencing equipmentto connect with community-

based volunteer facultythroughout Kentucky, Mc-Namara said. The secondfloor will also have a learn-ing space set up like a clinicwhere students interact withpatient actors, he said.

The third floor will con-tain faculty offices and re-search laboratories, and thefourth and fifth floors willhouse laboratories and officesfor research, McNamara said.

Beshear believes thesenew facilities are importantto the future of medicine.

“New research and updat-ed facilities are absolutely es-sential to help our pharmacistsstay abreast of technologicalinnovations,” Beshear said.

PHARMACYContinued from page 1

“People go berserk over (thecertificates),” Halsey said. “Peoplecall and say, ‘I don’t want a cane butcan you sell me one of those tags?’… It’s an attachment or a passionthey have for the Big Blue.”

One woman called from EasternKentucky and ordered five canes.When he called her back to tell herthe canes were finished, she criedwith excitement. The woman saidwhen she was younger, she andfamily members listened to the Catson the radio, following the stats onpieces of paper.

But as Halsey holds the pol-ished, pale column of wood he willpresent to Joe B. Hall as a gift, hisvoice trails off and his eyes becomeunfocused.

He might be remembering hisyears following Kentucky basketballwhen Hall coached the Cats to a na-tional championship.

He might be thinking about hisyears in the wood shop.

He might be reliving his years asHall's friend.

Wherever his mind took him,Halsey knows his gift will be special.

“It’s just a passion for the wayyou grew up, for memories,” Halseysaid.

Hardwood memoriesHall turns the cane over in his

hands and passes the gift to his

friends around the table.“When I look at that it brings

back so many memories,” he says.Hall begins to relive famous UK

basketball moments and memories.He rattles off names, stats and spe-cific games as if they were on ESPNthe night before, and he smiles theentire time.

“Anyone associated with Ken-tucky basketball — as a player, acoach, a fan or a custodian — wouldlove to have a cane made from thatfloor,” Hall says.

Hall says the cane reminds himof the art that a coach needs to crafta basketball team into a machine.

“It’s not only a piece of art, it’sgot significance to anyone, but espe-cially to me,” Hall says.

Hall does not have many piecesof memorabilia from Memorial Col-iseum.

“I didn't try to collect stuff be-cause it would have overshadowedour kids,” Hall said. “We featured(the kids) and what they were doing.”

Hall says this gift, however, istruly a treasure.

“You’ll see me walking with acane from now on,” he says.

Billy Glass still doesn’t know what’s go-ing on with the UK hockey team.

UK (18-9) dropped a pair of away gamesto Bowling Green (10-7) over the weekend inwhat was supposed to be a momentum-build-ing series. Instead, the Cool Cats lost thegames 9-5 on Friday and 6-3 on Saturday.

“I’m still trying to figure it out, honestly,”Glass said. “I’m not really sure what hap-pened.”

UK is not only trying to figure out whathappened over the weekend, but also whathas happened over the last month. Onceperched at No. 2 in the Southeast rankings,UK has now lost seven of its last eightgames.

“Everyone’s thinking about how we aregoing to turn it around,” forward Taylor Vitsaid. “We had a good opportunity to turn itaround and we didn’t take advantage of it.”

UK now has to ride a fine line betweenfeeling a sense of urgency, but not panicking,feeling concerned, but not distraught.

“We know we aren’t cutting it right now,”Glass said. “We aren’t playing our best hock-ey. If we keep playing this bad, we could beout of the play-in tournament altogether.”

Now would not seem the time to run into awall of adversity and struggles. The play-intournament lurks just eight games away. UKhas to regroup quickly from a losing skid that

is threatening to snowball into somethingworse.

“We have one month to get everything to-gether,” Glass said. “We’ve talked about it,and we’re dedicating everything we have tofixing this thing before the tournament rollsaround.”

UK’s road struggles also could be a pointof concern. Away from the Lexington Ice Cen-ter confines and the midnight puck drops, theCool Cats are 5-6.

“You can’t really put a finger on one thingabout our road struggles,” Vit said. “But weneed to get better at it because the regionaltournament is on the road and we will need tobe playing our best hockey.”

The recent disappointments have notcaused a rift in team chemistry. The team’s at-titude is still good and everyone wants to gothe right way together, Vit said.

“We’re not going to win every game,”Glass said. “We hit a rough spot. But we’restill the same team and we know we can wingames.”

Ultimately, the Cool Cats know one thingmatters: hitting their peak at the start of post-season play. Despite recent struggles, Vitsaid the team knows it has the same chanceto have a great end of the season now as itdid at any other point of the season.

“Realistically, this is the most importanttime of the season,” Glass said. “Our seasonwill ultimately come down to the two tourna-ment games and how we handle those.”

Away-game slump continues for Cool Cats

As hardas it may

be to comprehend in a state where basketballrests on a pedestal, John Calipari’s “Hoopsfor Haiti” fundraiser helped remind the Ken-tucky fanbase that there is more going on inthe world than the Cats’ undefeated season.

When Billy Gillispie was fired, UK Athlet-ic Director Mitch Barnhart stressed the ultimatereason for his dismissal was his inability to em-brace his role as an ambassador for the univer-sity. Ever since Calipari’s State-of-the-Union-like speech at Big Blue Madness, not manypeople questioned whether or not Calipari waswilling to accept that responsibility.

Despite the dark cloud of criticism fol-lowing Calipari’s tactics in the realm of bas-ketball, he has made it clear that he is wellaware of ways to use his position to benefitthe community and, in this case, the world.“Hoops for Haiti” was organized in less thanthree days, yet it raised more than $1.1 mil-lion and was the third most searched item onGoogle the day it aired.

The event brought together some of thebiggest names in the state, such as Joe Craft,who donated a staggering $100,000. Howev-er, Calipari showed his power extends out-side the Commonwealth, as some of thebiggest names in sports participated in thefundraiser, including Steelers head coachMike Tomlin, Syracuse basketball coach JimBoehiem and ESPN announcer Dick Vitale.

The creativity of the event is part ofwhat made it so successful. Items put up forbid on eBay showed the range of Calipari’snetworking skills, while T-shirt sales thatbenefit the cause were equally successful.

Calipari went so far as to offer up hishome to host a dinner for six with fan fa-vorite Ashley Judd and her personal chef,which sold for more than $98,000.

Strides like these are not only what setsCalipari apart from the two-year disasterthat was Billy Gillispie, but are also neces-sary to put the university in the limelight formore than just basketball.

other being Frank McGuire.The Cats will play their

first game as the No. 1 teamon the road in Columbia,S.C., against the Gamecocks.South Carolina (11-8, 2-3SEC) hasn’t had as strong ayear as many had expected,due in part to two key losses.

Senior forwardDominique Archie was lostfor the season with a kneeinjury after just five games.Archie was averaging 14.4points and six rebounds pergame before the injury. TheGamecocks then dismissedMike Holmes from the teamafter playing in six games.Holmes was averaging 11points and 4.8 rebounds.

Their absences haveforced senior guard DevanDowney to take more of aleadership role on the court.Downey leads the SEC in

scoring with 21.9 points pergame overall and 31.6 pointsper game in the Gamecocks’five conference games.

“He’s their main scorer,he’s the person they’re look-ing for to make big plays andmake shots down the stretch,”Wall said.

The Cats should be used toguarding such a player. On Sat-urday the Cats went up againstthe second leading scorer in theSEC, Arkansas’ Rotnei Clarke.Clarke didn’t hit his first 3-point shot until nearly 25 min-utes into the game and finishedwith only 13 points in front ofthe rabid UK fans that packedRupp Arena.

On Tuesday evening theCats will face the South Car-olina faithful in Colonial LifeArena. While many teamsstruggle playing on the road,Wall said road games are funand wished the Cats playedmore away games.

“Like Coach said, it’s greatto go down to a road game andruin their weekend,” Wall said.

“That’s what you try and do —ruin peoples’ weekends. Theirfans are crazy. They’re just likeour fans here so we like theexcitement.”

GameDay tickets nearlysold out

Calipari wanted to sell outRupp Arena when ESPN Col-lege GameDay comes Feb. 13for UK’s game against Ten-nessee. He might get what heasked for.

UK athletics spokesmanDeWayne Peevy said seats inthe lower bowl of RuppArena sold out within 45 min-utes of going on sale.

Four lower level Game-Day tickets were on sale oneBay for $199.99 as of 7 p.m.Monday.

If tickets sell out, thecrowd will be the largest toever attend College Basket-ball GameDay. Fans willreceive a commemorativeUK2K poster, be able to inter-act with former UK playersand hear Calipari and UKPresident Lee Todd speak.
