“The World’s Largest Wa-ter Balloon Fight” isn’t just athrow-away title. It’s a truedescription.
Last year, UK’s ChristianStudent Fellowship broke theGuinness world record for thesecond time with 5,976 peo-ple chucking water balloonsacross Johnson Center field.This year, organizer Wes Ben-ninger predicted about 6,000to 7,000 people would comeout, based on a Facebookgroup where a little over6,000 had signed up.
He was off by quite abit.
On Friday, 8,957people showed up tobreak the worldrecord for athird time.
“It is awe-some to be apart of it,” UKalumnus GraceThompson said. “After thosefive or seven minutes on thefield, it’s amazing to stepback and see all of your hardwork come together in suchan epic water balloon fight.”
Reid Wahlbrink, anotherCSF organizer, said that theyweren’t sure what to expect,but they had bought 10,000wristbands because they hadrun out previous yeat.
“I’ve been a part of theproduction every year,”Wahlbrink said, who de-scribed being inside of thefight as “controlled chaos.”
“It’s getting bigger every
year with more people andmore balloons,” Wahlbrinksaid.
The fight has turned intonot just a UK and CSF KWeek tradition, but a commu-nity event.
“Older people were outon the field in their lawnchairs while we were settingup,” Wahlbrink said. “Lastyear a guy drove down fromMaryland.”
“We would love to makeit bigger,” Thompson said,when asked if she thought thefight would ever turn into anationwide or worldwideevent with all of the world
record success. “We’re looking
into more recordopportunities andmaking itstatewide in thefuture.”
The eventbringsa many peo-
ple to campus andcreates awareness
about the organization, thecause and other events heldthroughout the school year,Thompson said.
“A lot of people ask us‘Why do you guys do thisevery year?’ and it’s just away to let a lot of people –9,000 people – know about(CSF) right off of the bat,”Wahlbrink said. “We’re aChristian ministry on campus,and we’re here for UK stu-dents.”
It’s amazing to be a part ofa positive experience with somany people, Wahlbrink said.

PHOTO BY LATARA APPLEBY | STAFFAlmost 9,000 people showed up to Friday’s water balloon fight,which broke UK’s old record by nearly 3,000 people.
The UK Arboretum is now home toa sculpture that commemorates victimsof the Comair Flight 5191 crash, whichhappened five years ago Saturday.
The memorial event, held Saturdaymorning, unveiled the metal sculpturethat consists of 49 birds, each bird rep-resenting a victim of the crash.
On Aug. 27, 2006, the plane tookoff from the wrong runway at BlueGrass Airport and crashed around 6 a.m.The only survivor was co-pilot JamesPolehinke.
Sue Byrd, whose son Brian Byrddied in the crash, described the birds asswooping toward the sky.
“Forty-nine spirits all headed to heavenat the same time together,” she said.
The sculpture, created by DouweBlumberg, contains the victims’ namesengraved at the base. Byrd said eachvictim’s family was given the opportu-nity to put a memento of their lost onein a cylinder, which was welded insidethe bird.
Dr. Ray Garman, co-chair of theFlight 5191 Commission, estimated that
more than 500 people attended the serv-ice.
“When the main crash occurred, thethen-governor and the then-mayor ap-pointed a commission to try to come upwith an appropriate memorial for the 49lost,” said Garman, who is also an asso-ciate professor in the College of PublicHealth and the chairman of the AviationMuseum of Kentucky’s board at theBlue Grass Airport.
The sculpture had been developedand chosen about two years ago, Gar-man said.
Multiple people spoke at the serv-ice, including family members of thevictims, Mayor Jim Gray, Gov. SteveBeshear and Deborah Hersman, the leadinvestigator of the crash and chair of theNational Transportation Safety Board.
Byrd also gave a speech and saidshe just wanted to speak from her heart.
“It was a humbling experience,” shesaid. “I’m not a public speaker, I don’tusually do this.”
Byrd spoke about not having regrets.“Our loved ones were here one
minute and gone the next, and they’vebeen gone for so long,” she said. “Weneed to always remember to take time
for our loved ones.”Garman said the service went well,
and after the ceremony the family mem-bers gathered at the UK Good Barn.
“The weather was beautiful,” hesaid. “The memorial was quite mean-ingful.”
Byrd has also been on the memorialcommission since it began, and said alot of planning and countless hourswere put into the service.
“The entire hour we were there,everything was picture-perfect and ele-gant. Not one detail would I havechanged about anything,” she said, anddescribed the event as breathtaking.There was sadness, she said, but alsohappiness and everyone was “filled withso much love and uplifting.”
Now, she said, the community andfamilies of lost ones can go to a peacefulplace.
Though it has been a long journey, ithas been worth it.
“It just brought closure to a lot ofpeople,” Byrd said.

“Laverne&Shirley” (1976-83), The “Hap-py Days” spinoff about two Milwaukee BFFs(Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams) began in1959 but moved into the ‘60s as the seasonsprogressed.
“Call to Glory” (1984-85), Craig T. Nel-son starred as a U.S. Air Force colonel in thisdrama that mingled family crises with theCold War crises of the early 1960s.
“Crime Story” (1986-88), Extremely cooldrama from “Miami Vice’s” Michael Mannthat starred Dennis Farina as an incorruptibleChicago cop in 1963. Del Shannon’s hyperki-netic “Runaway” was used as the show’stheme song,
“Tour of Duty” (1987-90), TV’s first dra-ma set against the Vietnam War focused on agroup of raw recruits and was clearly inspiredby Oliver Stone’s 1986 hit movie, “Platoon.”
“The Wonder Years” (1988-93), The tur-bulent late-1960s as seen through the eyes of awise suburban 12-year-old (Fred Savage).

“You felt like you werewalking into something froma movie, and it was reallysad,” he said. The airport wasfilled with police cars,including the FBI and SWATteams, and Red Cross disas-ter volunteers, Deffendallsaid.
At that point, it was stillunclear whether the accidentwas an act of terrorism.
Deffendall remembersflying back and seeing thegiant flashing “X” that wason the runway where Flight5191 took off from, warningplanes not to go that way.

Herb Williams, an artistfrom Nashville, Tenn., takesthe art of his childhood andapplies it to his work as anadult. Starting Monday, hisCrayola crayon sculptureswill be on display at the Ras-dall Gallery on campus as the“Herb Exhibit.”
He is one of the onlyartists in the world who hasan account with the famouschildren’s brand Crayola, andhis original sculptures featurehundreds of thousands of thecolorful art tools, according
to his website.“I am interested in identi-
fying iconic objects that soci-ety perceives to fit one roleand then reintroducing themin different subtexts,”Williams said on his website,which discusses how he usesthe crayons to address sexual-ity, religion and social hierar-chy.
SAB cultural arts directorShannon Ruhl said she be-came interested in bringingWilliams to campus after re-alizing that he could connectwith different audiencesthrough his work.
“Herb Williams takes
these simple, familiar ob-jects as his primary workingmedium and gives them newmeaning,” Ruhl said, “Hechallenges peoples’ initialimpressions of his work byapplying thousands ofcrayons to the surface ofthese sculptures, and tapsinto the inner-child while ad-dressing the social culture of
today.”According to his web-
site, Williams says hiswork in the constructionfield as a teenager gavehim a deeper understandingof form and materials. Hissculptures have beenplaced in children’s hospi-tals and lobbies of corpo-rate buildings. Williamswill be bringing more than30 pieces of his art, all ofwhich explore crayons inform, color and content,according to Ruhl.
“This exhibit is fun andinteresting and accessible toeveryone; who hasn’t grownup coloring with crayons?”Ruhl said.
The Herb Williams ex-hibit will run beginningMonday through Sept. 21. It

Men’s soccerwins opener
The Cats took on Day-ton in the season opener Fri-day night and walked awaywith a 2-0 victory.
Senior midfielder C.J.Tappel played well in his re-turn to the lineup by addinga well-deserved goal and anassist. After missing the2010 season due to injuries,the senior used this as a wel-come back party.
“(It’s) great to be back athome in front of the fansand getting a goal,” Tappelsaid.
Kentucky dominated theopening half regularly, com-pleting upwards of five pass-es during the build-up to asingle attack. It paid off inthe 30th minute, when Tappelplayed an inch-perfect ball tosophomore Tyler Riggs toopen the season’s account.
This was the secondconsecutive opener in whichRiggs has scored. The sec-ond came just after fourminutes with Tappel finish-ing off a great corner by jun-ior Charlie Pettys by putting
it well out of the goalkeep-er’s reach. Pettys was anoth-er “star performer,” headcoach Ian Collins said. Healso added some impressivepasses in the attacking third.
The backline playedwell throughout the gamewith Dayton only threaten-ing twice on some audaciousefforts. The backline helpedsnuff out everything quickly,which helped sophomorekeeper Tyler Beadle notchedhis fifth career clean sheetafter posting four as a fresh-man.
The win was Collins’200th career victory.
The win made UK 12-8-1 all time in season open-ers.

He’s the forgotten man ofUK football, and he doesn’tmind it.
Steve Brown went fromdefensive coordinator andsecondary coach in 2010 toco-defensive coordinator andsecondary coach in 2011. It’sa small change in title, butthe actual change is moredrastic.
UK is no longer using hisplaybook (that playbook ledto a defense that ranked nearlast in yards allowed, sacksand interceptions in the SEC).The new co-defensive coordi-nator, Rick Minter, is at thehelm of the defense. Brownhas taken a step back.
“He doesn’t mind beingin the second spot,” corner-back Randall Burden said.
Though Brown mighthave receded into the back-ground, he’s been able to hone
in on his specialty, which iscoaching up the defensivebacks instead of being incharge of the entire defense.
“Now I can focus in onthese guys and get them bet-ter as technicians and play-ers,” Brown said. “They getmore attention, whether theylike it or not.”
The extra attention couldbe especially beneficial toUK, as the secondary has themost question marks of thedefense. Cornerbacks Burdenand Anthony Mosley areproven, but the safety posi-tion is still in flux. With Win-ston Guy moving to line-backer, head coach JokerPhillips singled it out as a po-sition “we have to have reallygood play out of.”
Martavius Neloms hasbeen talked about as a topperformer, but he’s a convert-ed corner who has yet to playa game at the position. Thecoaching staff expects him to
undergo some growing pains,but also expects him toemerge as a pivotal player inthe secondary.
“He has the ability to cov-er as a corner, but he has thephysical nature of a safety,”Brown said. “Because he’s aphysical player and an aggres-sive kid, he’s exactly what wewant at that position.”
Mychal Bailey, who wasfourth on the team in tackleslast year, should also help atthat position, although he’ssuspended for the seasonopener. After that, TaiedoSmith took mostly starters’reps in fall camp. And fresh-man Glenn Faulker, the high-est-rated incoming player forUK, is expected to contributeimmediately, even though hearrived on campus later thanhis teammates.
“We always say that tal-ent will overcome any experi-ence any day,” head coachJoker Phillips said.
Faulkner was walkingaround the CommonwealthStadium turf in his No. 18blue UK jersey on MediaDay, replacing (in jerseynumber only) the highest-pro-file player in recent years ofUK football.
“I didn’t request it,”
Faulkner said. “But whenthey gave me the jersey, Iknew I’d have to live up tothe number.”
Secondary play could beeven more crucial this season.With the front seven takingmore risks and attacking thebackfield, the cornerbacksand safeties will be isolatedmore often. But with the passrush expected to collapse thepocket faster, the cornerbacksare expecting less deepthrows against them andmore opportunities for inter-ceptions.
Forcing more turnovers isa crucial part of the defense’ssuccess. Last season, UKranked last in deflected pass-es and second-to-last in inter-ceptions in the SEC. Theywant more. Mosley said thecornerbacks are working onspying on the quarterback’seyes, even in man coverage,to find more opportunities forpicks.
“The difference from uswinning seven, eight, ninegames last year was turnovers,”Phillips said. “Everybody has tounderstand how importantturnovers are to this footballteam and this football program.It’s the difference for us, it reallyis.”
Steve Brown still around, just focusing on secondary

When Morgan Newtoncommitted to UK a little overthree years ago, he gave UKfans a spark of confidenceand hope for their team’s fu-ture.
A few of his games atCarmel High School were tel-evised on ESPN, giving UKhopefuls an opportunity tosee what they were getting inthe big, strong, dual-threatquarterback.
As if the speculationaround him wasn’t enough,the sight of Newton runningover defenders and placingpasses directly on the num-bers of his receivers increasedthe growing anticipation offans for the young quarter-back to get his opportunity.
With Mike Hartline gonefrom UK and freshmen look-ing on, Newton now has theopportunity to make thisgroup of Cats his own.
During Wednesday’s an-nual Greater Louisville AreaAlumni Luncheon, Kentuckyhead coach Joker Phillips andoffensive coordinator RandySanders spoke highly ofNewton’s progress headinginto his junior season.
“It is amazing how far hehas come since the last timethat we have played,” Phillipssaid. “A lot of that has to dowith his confidence. His con-fidence comes from gettingreps and then when you getconfidence and reps it showsin how he is leading this foot-ball team now.
“I am excited aboutwatching him,” Phillipsadded. “He is throwing theball where he is supposed to.His eyes are where they aresupposed to be and he is com-pleting passes. That is excit-ing to watch from your quar-terback.”
Former Cat Andre Wood-son, who the junior quarter-back at times has been com-
pared to, spoke about New-ton’s progress followingTuesday’s practice.
“Morgan looked reallygood, I think he has came along way,” Woodson said.“He is obviously light yearsfrom where he was last sea-son. He’s done a great job oflistening, taking in coaching,understanding what he needsto do to get better. His bal-ance, his throwing, his me-chanics are twenty times bet-ter that what it was lastyear.”
Woodson said he believesthat from the moment he firstsaw the play of Newton, it ishis throwing ability that hasimproved more than any-thing.
“We’ve always known hehas had a pretty strong arm,but his accuracy has im-proved tremendously,”Woodson said. “He is now tothe point where he is puttingthe ball where he wants it tobe.”
While his opportunitiesto start have been limited,Newton has shown the po-tential to be the playmakerthat fans have long been ea-ger to see.
During a 2009 gameagainst Eastern Kentucky, hecompleted 20 of his 29 passattempts for 187 yards andtwo touchdowns.
Later in the season, in agame that may be his bestperformance, the Cats defeat-ed Georgia with the help ofNewton’s three touchdownpasses on 9 of 17 passing for187 yards.
Though overshadowed bya loss and the benching ofMike Hartline, Newton didhave a relatively good gameagainst Pittsburgh in last sea-son’s BBVA Compass Bowl,completing 21 passes for 211yards, his most while in a UKuniform.
Whether or not his per-formances in practice willshow through in a game is
unforeseen, but Newton nowhas his onlookers eager andhopeful for a breakthroughseason.

Women’s soccernotches third win
For the second straightgame, the UK women’s soc-cer team entered halftimetied, with an offense that hadstalled for the first 45 min-utes.
Friday, they looked hesi-tant. They looked confused.The stat line was nearlyempty except for a UK shoton goal with 15 seconds leftin the half. With a defensethat had held Ohio Universi-ty blank in the aforemen-tioned category, somethinghad to give.
“We needed to makesome changes,” seniorKelsey Hunyadi said. “Thatwas evident. We justweren’t playing as quick as
we usually do. We didn’thave the same intensity.”
The Cats wasted no timepicking up that intensity.One minute into the secondhalf, Hunyadi connectedfrom 15 yards out to put UKup 1-0. Ten minutes later,Stuart Pope found the backof the net to make it 2-0.Ohio added a 78th minutegoal to narrow the deficit,but it was all for naught.Just as quickly as they came,the offensive struggles wereforgotten.
“We played really wellin the second half,” headcoach Jon Lipsitz said.“The best half of the year inmy opinion. We had muchmore possession and startedto play our style. We chal-lenged them to play better.”
For Hunyadi, it was athird goal of the young sea-son, while the freshmanPope scored her first colle-giate goal. The win broughtUK to 3-0-0 for the season.

monday 08.29.11 page 5kernelopinionsEven the simplest of
minds are now able to per-form modern art in thestreets. Our parents’ genera-tion had improv percussion-ists, jugglers and jazz musi-cians. Our generation haspeople lying face down in thestreet. I call it “improvisa-tional narcolepsy,” or the artof “planking.” It doesn’t evenrequire consciousness.
My first planking en-counter was last year at theJohnson Center. I was wait-ing for my turn on the weightbench when I noticed the guyusing it was just lying face-down there, not doing any-thing. When I approachedand asked if he was finished,he simply responded, “Bro,I’m planking.” With a mereturn of his head, he resumedhis planking reps. This gotme curious.
With a little research, Iwas able to locate a UK stu-dent who claims to be the in-ventor of planking. Accord-
ing to the “source,” he creat-ed planking his second-sophomore year at a smallcollege near his hometown.While lying face down on acampus park bench at 3:30a.m., he was approached by acampus officer. When askedwhat he was doing, he sim-ply replied, “planking.” Andwith a slight turn of his head,he continued his plankingreps. The impressed officergave him a ride home.
When word of his inge-nuity spread, planking gotout of control. “In the begin-ning I thought it was funny,but then things just got out ofhand. You couldn’t walk thestreets of Eugene withoutstepping on five plankers,”he told me. “Once it hitYouTube, there was no stop-ping it. When parents startedputting their children on re-frigerators, I knew it wastime to get out, so I trans-ferred to UK.”
Now working on his doc-torate in art history, mysource has found — much tohis chagrin — that plankinghas spread to UK. While hedoes not condone planking,and neither do I, he offeredhis original list of planking
do’s and don’ts to help keepplankers safe.
DON’T plank whereothers have planked before.No one likes a re-planker.
DO plank in modera-tion. No one wants to see youplanking all over the place.
DON’T plank in theroad. It doesn’t matter howrich your parents are, theirHMO won’t cover planking-related injuries.
DO plank in public. Ly-ing on the couch is not plank-ing.
DON’T be the loneplanker. Plank with a part-ner!
DO consider yourself areally lazy mime. Everyonehates mimes. You’re a lessentertaining, more annoyingversion of one. This leads tothe next point…
DON’T expect respect.Even if you get a photo ofyourself planking on LeeTodd’s solid gold desk, noone is really going to carethat much.
Either plank for the thrillof the plank, or don’t plank atall.

The stank of the plankI sometimes wonder
where people get the in-spiration to do the thingsthey do. For instance,why would someonethink it was a good ideato lay face down withyour hands tucked intight, close to your body?
I can hear the thoughtprocess now: “Hey, let meget on top of this bench soyou can take a picture ofme looking like a fool,then we can put it online
for everyone to see.” Yes! You are so clever,how ever did you think of such a thing?
That may account for the originalPlankers, but what about the mass amountsof people that have taken to doing this, caus-ing an Internet phenomena? Are they goingagainst the grain or rebelling against theman? No, they are just followers.
Planking in harmless locations is onething, but thrill seekers take it to the next lev-el. People have been spotted planking offbalconies, cliffs and building ledges. What aneat idea, risking your life for a new Face-book profile picture or Twitter avatar.
As to be expected, planking spawnedmultiple variations. The latest trends to hitthe Internet are “owling” and “teapotting;”Thank goodness, because planking alonejust wasn’t enough.
Planking made news at nearby WesternKentucky University when a student wasbanned for defacing property while plank-
ing. The student was later admitted backinto the university; perhaps they have a softspot for the popular pastime?
If you just can’t resist the urge to plank,try not to injure yourself in the process.Also, consider where you’re planking. Youcan take that as, “don’t break the law andthen plaster it all over the Internet.” Untilnext time, plank on loyal plankers, plank on.
