Fourth

of July

festivities A member of the Big Blue Nationwas lost last Thursday. And whatmakes his passing so hard for some towrap their heads around is its perplex-ing nature.

Jonathan McIntyre, 36, enteredParking Structure No. 2 on Rose Streetat 8:06 a.m. and was found about 15minutes later at the bottom of a stair-well in the parking structure, accord-ing to UK Police Chief Joe Monroe.

It was since determined that McIn-tyre fell from the fifth level of the

stairwell. He fell over the railing insidethe stairwell and through the air, notdown the steps, according to Monroe.

“Nobody actuallysaw him go over therailing, but we havethree people that saythey saw a blur andthought it was an ob-ject or bag … some-thing green,” Monroesaid. “They went overto investigate …

that’s when they realized it was a bodyand they called 911.”

McIntyre was taken by ambulance

to UK Chandler Hospital where hewas pronounced dead at 8:51 a.m., ac-cording to the Fayette County Coro-ner’s Office, which reported the causeof death as “blunt force trauma to thehead due to fall from height.”

McIntyre was headed to work atthe Kentucky Geological Survey.Coworkers were shocked and sad-dened.

“As his supervisor, I am the onewho worked with Jonathan the mostclosely at KGS … his tragedy hits ushard, particularly me,” ZhenmingWang, head of the Geologic HazardSections at KGS, said. “He was a

good and hardworking person, and heloved his family.”

There were no security cameras lo-cated in the stairwell where McIntyrefell. But from security cameras on theperimeter of the parking structure, po-lice were able to determine whenMcIntyre entered the building.

Monroe said that UK Police arecontinuing to investigate the matterwith the coroner’s office. Foul playhas been completely ruled out.

McIntyre is survived by his wifeSherri and their 4-year-old twin boys,Andrew and Austin.

His funeral was held Monday.

John Calipari is now inked to be thehead basketball coach at UK through 2018-19 after a contract extension was an-nounced Monday.

The extension is cer-tainly an encouragingsign for many reasons. Itshows that UK is seriousabout Calipari being herefor the long term (albeit,two years more long-term than originallyplanned). It shows thatthe relationship betweenthe administrative sideand Calipari is a positiveone. It shows trust inCalipari — trust that wasnot complete when hefirst arrived as head

coach, but trust that has been built over thepast two years.

A stipulation must come with the an-nouncement of the extension. The possi-bility of Calipari leaving exists. It’s noth-ing about Calipari or UK or the NBA, oranything specific. I’m not saying Calipariis likely to leave, or that we should all

UK men’s basketball head coachJohn Calipari has received an eight-year contract worth a total of $36.5million plus the opportunity for per-formance-based incentives, UK Athlet-ics Director Mitch Barnhart announcedMonday.

Calipari’s base salary for eachyear will be $400,000. He will get aguaranteed $3.4 million for media/en-dorsements, and will get at least $1million for retention in six of the eightyears (exceptions are 2011-12 and2015-16). That brings his guaranteedmoney to $4.8 million in five years,$3.8 million in two years, and $4.9million in the final year (the retentionvalue is $1.1 million that year).

Calipari’s incentives include:$50,000 for a regular season South-eastern Conference championship,$50,000 for an SEC Tournament cham-pionship, $100,000 for the Sweet 16 inthe NCAA Tournament, $100,000 forthe Elite Eight, $150,000 for the FinalFour and $350,000 for winning the

National Championship.Calipari’s eight-year deal will co-

incide with the end of Barnhart’s owncontract.

“Cal and I are the same age andshare some of the same thoughts onour careers and I wanted to align hiscontract with my current eight-yeardeal,” Barnhart said on his Twitterpage (@UKMitchBarnhart). “Heworked with us during this processand clearly demonstrated that hewants to be at Kentucky for a longtime.”

“We were able to move somelongevity bonuses around that werealready in the contract,” Barnharttweeted, “and added some longevitybonuses in the later years of his con-tract to demonstrate that we want himhere for a long time. ... If we reach thelevels of success for Cal to receivethese bonuses, we will certainly gen-erate the revenue necessary to allo-cate these funds.”

LOS ANGELES — The Transformershave changed shape into a slightly less power-ful box office contender, at least initially.“Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” the thirdmovie in Paramount Pictures’ blockbuster ro-bot action series, collected $13.5 million fromearly screenings. Of that total, $5.5 millionwas from 9 p.m. shows at about 2,700 loca-tions with 3-D screens, and an additional $8million came from 3-D and 2-D screenings at3,000 theaters at or soon after midnight. That’sless than the $16.6 million 2009’s “Transform-ers: Revenge of the Fallen” grossed from mid-night shows alone on a Tuesday night.

The decline in attendance is even higher,however, for “Dark Side of the Moon” whenconsidering the premium 3-D ticket prices.Still, $13.5 million is a strong start for late-night screenings, particularly on a Tuesday.

“The Hangover Part II,” currently the year’smost successful movie at the domestic box of-fice, generated $10.4 million from openingmidnight screenings. “Pirates of theCaribbean: On Stranger Tides,” the year’s No.2 movie, took in $4.7 million. Pre-release sur-veys had indicated that consumer interest in“Dark of the Moon,” which cost about $200million to produce, was lower than for “Re-venge of the Fallen.”

Through Monday, the Fourth of July, thenew movie will likely have a tough timematching the $215 million that its predecessorgrossed in its first six full days. There could bebetter word-of-mouth for the film, as reviewsfor the third “Transformers” have been betterthan those for the second, although they’restill largely negative.

‘Transformers’ attendance declines

brace ourselves for the dayhe decides to bolt. It’s justthat the possibility of acoach leaving exists at everysingle school. But, it cer-tainly looks as thougheverything is in place tokeep Calipari at UK throughwhat is essentially thedecade. An added two years;a constant $3.4 million forendorsements/media, ratherthan the declining value he

had in his original contract;a $1 million bonus for reten-tion almost every year (curi-ously, there will not be onefor the 15-16 season); and aguaranteed income higherthan what most NBA teamscan pay.

If Calipari does decideto leave, it won’t be aboutthe money. The man hasplenty of that. It will beabout redeeming himself atthe next level, the same lev-el he considers the pinnaclefor the very players he hasat UK. His tenure at theNew Jersey Nets not only

didn’t go well, but it wasshort. His coaching movesto this point have alwaysbeen in a distinctly verticaldirection, from UMASS toMemphis to Kentucky, andif he perceives the NBA asan even higher destinationthan UK, that would be theonly reason he would reallyneed to go.

That being said, I haveno idea if he does think thatway. He is saying the oppo-site, that Kentucky is theplace he’s been waiting hiswhole life to reach, and I ampersonally taking him at his

word until proven otherwise.He certainly isn’t going any-where this summer, not witha fantastic chance to win itall. But we have no idea howthe next five years will playout; if he’s won a title bythen, or is simply feelingworn down by the UK me-dia/fan crush, or if he simplywants a change of directionbecause the lure of the NBAis still tugging on him, wewon’t know unless it hap-pens.

There are examples wecan point to, on both sides.Pete Carroll had an unsuc-cessful run coaching the Pa-triots, dominated the college

game at Southern California,and then split for a redemp-tion NFL tour with the Seat-tle Seahawks (a decisioncompounded by impendingviolations). And while we’reon the cynical side, there arecountless coaches who havepledged their loyalty to oneschool while simultaneouslyworking to go somewhereelse. Maybe those exampleserode our trust when ANYcoach confirms he’s not go-ing anywhere, or gets a con-tract extension.

On the other side, MikeKrzyzewski has long been atthe forefront of open NBAjobs, and he’s still roaming

the Duke sidelines. And I’msure there are plenty of otherpeople who turned down jobsto stay where they were.

So yes, this contract isencouraging. Athletics Direc-tor Mitch Barnhart and out-going President Lee Toddhave seemingly given every-thing possible to Calipari toensure his long-term successat UK. Both sides have recip-rocated the desire to haveCalipari remain here. Butthere’s nothing binding.Nothing’s ever binding incoaching.

Gay marriage legalizationbrings us closer to equality

The one argument I have nev-er been able to understand fromthe anti-same sex marriage (I re-fuse to call them pro-marriage)lobby is that somehow gay mar-riage will redefine marriage to the

point where allmarriages be-come meaning-less. Not onlydoes this seemto be an exem-plary use ofslippery slopelogic, but also ascreen peoplehide behind toclaim their op-position to gaymarriage is notbigoted.

I haveheard this argument on comedyshows, on the news and in myclassrooms; from Bill O’Reilly’snow-famed dolphin marriage ar-gument to a 20-year old-womanin one of my classes explainingthat gay marriage infringed on herrights, an argument I still don’tquite understand. Unless it’s 007’sright to kill, very rarely do some-one else’s rights actually harmyou.

Brian Brown, president of theNational Organization on Mar-

riage, has argued (most recentlyon “The Ed Show”) that gaymarriage is the number onethreat against marriage as awhole. He is also a proponent of“divorce reform,” and if thatsounds terrifying, look it up. Itis. To the fascinatingly-acronymed people at NOM, thenumber one threat against fami-lies are more people wanting tocome together and start families(and those pesky people who re-fuse to raise children in an un-happy home).

The redefining point of the ar-gument is what really confusesme. There are still two peoplewho want to stay together for therest of their lives. Isn’t that, fun-damentally, what marriage is?Brown argues that the institutionof marriage is a sacred and beauti-ful snowflake (apparently thesame snowflake as civil unions,which he also believes are a rightonly for hetero pairings), and thatchanging the way we view mar-riage in even the slightest waywould make that snowflake lessspecial. One change. A changedpronoun.

I’m an English major. Usually,in an argument, I’m the first to ar-gue that the definition of a wordmatters. But this argument is an

ill-conceived attempt to stopsomething that really shouldn’t beillegal. A marriage is a union be-tween two PEOPLE, and beinghomosexual does not make some-one less of a person. I know somegreat people who also happen tofind the same sex attractive. Whenyou make the argument that twomen (or two women) getting mar-ried violates the definition of mar-riage, you’re devaluing anotherhuman being into something less.You are saying that they don’t de-serve the same rights as you, therights you so cherish for “life, lib-erty, and the pursuit of happi-ness.”

Brian Brown, the only peoplewhose rights are being attackedare those you would press yourmoral code upon. I think Sen. Di-ane Savino, of Staten Island, saidit best: “people stand up there be-fore God and man ... they swearto love, honor and obey, and theydon’t mean a word of it. So ifthere’s anything wrong with thesanctity of marriage in America, itcomes from those of us who havethe privilege and the right andhave abused it for decades.”

Manhattan’s Lower West Sidewas alive with energy Friday night.Just before midnight, a Republican-led state Senate approved a billpermitting same-sex marriage inNew York, marking a turning pointin the lengthy debate over the defi-nition of marriage. The elation waspalpable in the Greenwich Villagestreets as people danced, kissed,screamed and cried because apromise of equality had finallybeen fulfilled.

The bill, proposed by New YorkDemocratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo,was supported by progressive lead-ers of all sexual orientations. Yet, itwas Republican Sen. Roy McDon-ald’s unlikely words that skirted thesame-sex marriage proposition froma political and religious debate to anissue of basic human rights.

According to the New York Post,McDonald told the press in a re-sponse to pressures from the Conser-vative party, religious leaders andanti-gay groups to vote against thebill, “You get to the point where youevolve in your life. Where everythingisn’t black and white, good and bad,and you try to do the right thing. Youmight not like that. You might bevery cynical about that. Well, f*** it;I don’t care what you think. I’m try-ing to do the right thing.”

I typically don’t take keenly toany Republican’s government stance,but as New York becomes the sixth,most populous state to allow gaysand lesbians to wed, the right thinghas been done.

Homosexuals have been op-pressed and scrutinized for centuries,trapped within a figurative closet,

burdened with a shameful andderogatory stigma due to their sexualpreference, once considered a mentaldisorder. The repression is at last ex-onerated in New York.

The bill is not perfect, sulliedwith special stipulations for homosex-ual marriages. Provisions spawned byRepublicans allow tax-exempt groupsto deny marrying homosexual cou-ples or to use their buildings or serv-ices for wedding ceremonies or re-ceptions. Although flawed with im-balanced language and particular pro-visions, the bill serves as giant leaptowards civil equality.

For some, the desire to wedstems from a greedy lust for wealthand property transfers, but in thiscircumstance it is merely love, andthe freedom to love, that reigns. Iwatched as two elderly womenmarched the streets hand-in-handduring Sunday’s Gay Pride Parade,their years of unaccounted love nolonger dismissed. Two maleteenagers followed behind them,lovers free to express their love withthe sanctity of marriage. Rainbowflags waved triumphantly from thebuildings and music wafted throughthe streets as lesbians, gays, trans-genders and heterosexuals of allages, races and classes united in cel-ebration. And in a city with the es-teem to spread cultural and socialtrends, I can only hope the rest ofthe world will do the right thing.

More than three dozen states stilldefine marriage as between a manand woman only. The time for nation-wide change is now. As the 2012elections approach, we must push gayrights as a fundamental political is-sue, supporting candidates who take astrong stance for same-sex marriage.It is time to redefine marriage; it istime to guarantee liberty and justicefor all.

The Chick-fil-A box sat right in front ofme as I hammered away my story on deadlineduring one of those relatively unimportant De-

cember games. The boxwasn’t mine. It was Josh Har-rellson’s.

When he walked over af-ter giving interviews, most ofhis answers chippy and funny,Harrellson offered a piece ofchicken. We weren’t boys, oreven acquaintances — I hadseen him maybe three times inmy short time on the beat —but here he was, offering apiece of chicken to some ran-dom kid reporter. I declined— I have the fortune to eat at

the UK Student Center between class nearlyevery day — but it stuck with me as being theconsummate Harrellson move.

It wasn’t an isolated incident, either.Sometime later in the year, a kid wandereddown from the stands and asked Harrellson ifhe could dunk for him in the game. Harrellsonof course accepted. “I’ll be looking for you,”

he told the kid before he walked back to hisseat. At the end of the year, Harrellson heldthe video camera for ESPN’s Mark Schlabachas he interviewed another UK player. “Hiscamera work was better than most reportersI’ve had help me,” Schlabach said. Harrellsonnever felt like he deserved the limelight, eventhough it was he who got to keep the net afterboth the Southeastern Conference Champi-onship and the Elite Eight wins.

By that point, Harrellson had vaulted fur-ther into the hearts of UK fans by retaining hisendearing personality while discovering abrand-new on-court game and persona, fullyevident when he flung a ball off JaredSullinger’s chest instead of his feet. It was anact both spiteful and assertive. Harrellson wasnot there to be a player who didn’t stand achance against the Freshman of the Year. Hewas there to play, and to win. Even though heditched the jokes in practice and duringgames, however, he maintained his jovialmanner at almost any other time. He was themedia and fan darling. After his career ended,Harrellson was nothing but positive and gra-cious in defeat, standing in front of his locker.

Harrellson stood as the antithesis of theproposed head coach John Calipari archetype.He was not supremely talented — he stillplays exactly how you would expect a 6-foot-11 white guy would, actually — and he wasnot a whirling path of destruction through thecollege basketball landscape. But he was noless appreciated. Calipari admitted he’s had torethink his coaching principles after seeingHarrellson’s transformation this year.

His opportunity as a senior wasn’t all thatdeserved, really. He made no claims of being ahard worker his sophomore and junior seasons,choosing instead to be team clown. His story isnot that of someone who worked his ass off forthree years before finally being able to emerge.His chance to become something bigger camethrough the NCAA’s rules, firstly, although thatinitial chance was seized through the well-docu-mented hard work stemming from a Twitteroutburst. In a way, though, his atypical path tosuccess made him even more beloved.

Halfway through the year, Calipari men-tioned some NBA guys saying his “big whitekid” had a shot at the next level. It seemedhighly unlikely, but its turned out to be true.

Regardless, his legacy soared this year. Af-ter pegging Sullinger in the chest on the wayto a win, Harrellson entered the locker roomsinging “It was all a dream!” at full force, cel-ebrating a shocking victory.

He might as well have been talking abouthis own senior season.
