Two historic proper-ties on campus could bedemolished to make aparking lot for the UKCollege of Law.
The Mathews Houseand Garden, built in 1908by Clarence WentworthMathews, the first deanfor the College of Agri-culture, stands at 660 S.Limestone.
“Our land-locked uni-versity must utilize ourlimited available spacevery carefully and strate-gically,” said Bob Wise-man, vice president of UKFacilities, in a statement.
“In the new financialworld UK operates within,we must shepherd our re-sources strategically andcarefully.”
According to a lettersent to President Eli Capi-louto from Linda Carroll,the Blue Grass Trust’spresident, both housescontribute to a “walkablevibrant campus, supportedby vibrant neighbor-hoods.”
The other historicalhouse is the Ligon House,at 658 S. Limestone.
“I understand the needthe College of Law has fora new facility, but I won-der if they were aware ofthe historical signifi-
cance,” said John Rohrer,chairman of the Lexing-ton-Fayette Urban CountyGovernment HistoricPreservation Commissionand a graduate of the UKCollege of Law.
“It’s more or less a re-quest for UK to slowdown, look at alternativesand give it more thought,”he said.
The only hurdle UKhas to jump to give theOK for the demolition isthrough federal funding.
If the houses aredeemed eligible to be list-ed on the National Regis-ter of Historic Places, Car-roll said UK could not usefederal funding to demol-
ish the building.“Discussions about
law and other issues dis-cussed in the letter arepreliminary in nature. Nofinal decisions have beenmade,” Wiseman releasedin a statement to the Ker-nel. He was unavailablefor an interview.
“This is an appropriateprocess for the universityto undertake as it looks athow best to utilize re-sources and maximize stu-dent success and the bestuse of campus land andspace.”
In April 2012, BlueGrass Trust and UK in-vested in the research ofOmar Blaik’s Anchor In-
stitution Report that fo-cused on creating a liveli-er and homely campus.
“Mr. Wiseman didn’tmention to me they wereabandoning Omar Blaik’sreport,” Carroll said.
“Our small nonprofitcompany donated $1,000to hire Blaik.”
Carroll said the uni-versity originally support-ed Blue Grass Trust in thehiring.
UK has no date set fora demolition and still hasto comply with regula-tions to proceed.
“The university is bet-ter than demolition,” Car-roll said in the letter toCapilouto.

UKupdating
masterplan
UK has a contract with aMassachusetts firm to updateits master plan for $340,000.
The key points to be con-sidered in the plan, which has-n’t been updated since 2002,are the campus acquisitionboundary, housing and infra-structure growth on campus,green space and recreation,and transportation.
The firm, Sasaki Associ-ates Inc., specializes in cam-pus master planning and is as-sociated with Lexington firmRoss Tarrant Architects.
The basic fee in the Sasakicontract is for $340,000, with$100,000 as a contingency au-thorization in case a trafficstudy or similar expense isneeded, said Bob Wiseman,UK’s vice president for facili-ties management.
Wiseman said the contractis for eight months but creatingthe plan will likely take about12 months as internal issuesarise.
UK will seek communityinput for the master plan,which affects those both in-side and outside current cam-pus boundaries.

The battle before game day
Couch was UK’sonly No. 1 draft pick
In the wake of the firing of UK headcoach Bill Curry, during the 1996 season, theCats were introduced to Hal Mumme and his“Air Raid” offense.
The beneficiary? Freshman Tim Couch, a6-foot-4 19-year-old from Hyden, Ky., whoplayed quarterback for Leslie County HighSchool.
Couch had split time with Billy JackHaskins, but Mumme pointed to Couch tolead the new high-volume pass offense.
His sophomore season in 1997 producedseveral passing records for the Cats. In fact,Couch posted 13 top five offensive recordsthat he tied or broke during his 1998 junior
season, sometime on multiple occasions.Among those records were the most total offensive yards in a

The 1977 UK football team isremembered in more than one way.The team is remembered for finish-ing the regular season with a 10-1record and a perfect 6-0 record inthe SEC. It may also be remem-bered for not being rewarded forthat success because NCAA proba-tion kept it from playing in the SECChampionship game or other post-season play.
Those Cats were led by All-American defensive end Art Still,who would go on to be the secondoverall pick in the 1978 NFL draft.Still’s defense allowed just 111
points over the entire season, an av-erage of just more than 10 pointsper game. The Cats allowed theiropponent to reach double digits justfive times all year and let a teamreach 20 points only twice.
UK’s offense was no slouch ei-ther, scoring fewer than 20 pointsjust twice all year. The Catsdropped 28 points on a rankedWest Virginia team, 24 pointsagainst Joe Paterno’s ranked PennState team and 33 points against aranked LSU squad. UK’s only lossof the year was to unranked Bayloron the road, a 21-6 humbling thatwould serve as the team’s onlyblemish.
Despite being the defending
conference champions, UK beganthe year unranked and on probationwith the NCAA, relatively offeveryone’s radar. It finished rankedNo. 6 in the nation in the year’s fi-nal AP poll.
Many consider the 1977 team tobe the best team in head coach FranCurci’s eight-year tenure at UK, butbecause the probation kept UK outof the postseason, 1976 will in-evitably get the nod in this ranking(spoiler alert). UK has won the SECtwice in its history, and although the1977 might have been able to makeit three times, the fact that it did notpegs the team at third on the list ofthe greatest teams in UK footballhistory.

hoods,” Wiseman said.He said different neigh-
borhoods offer different re-views of university and town-gown relations.
When students move intoneighborhoods surroundingcampus, they become neigh-borhood residents, Wisemansaid.
“They have responsibili-ties in these neighborhoods,”he said. “Neighbors expectmore of us and of students.”
In addition to students,UK will look to landlords,as well as other neighbor-hood residents, for ways toimprove under the newplan.
The new master plan will
address future growth, espe-cially with residence-hall pro-posals set to go before theBoard of Trustees in Octoberand with talk of updatingclassroom buildings in the fu-ture.
Related to that growth isaddressing green space andrecreation areas on campus,especially now that HagginField is the construction sitefor New Central ResidenceHall, Wiseman said.
Transportation-wise, thenew master plan will have tobalance parking-space andsustainability issues, Wise-man said.
He said this master planwill have a distinction from
others Sasaki has worked onin the past, for such institu-tions as Auburn University,the University of Mississippiand Mississipi State Universi-ty.
“Even though the Sasakicontract is not inexpensive,it’s less than what typicalmaster-planning efforts en-tail,” Wiseman said, becauseUK has staff who can workon data mapping and plan-ning, as well as other re-sources.
He said the goal is notto get a “consultant-drivenshelf study,” but an inter-nally developed and man-aged plan that includescommunity input. UK willreach out to groups includ-ing students, faculty, staff,the city, neighborhoods, re-tailers and faith communi-ties, Wiseman said.
The 2002 plan was an up-date to one made in 1991,which had been the first sincethe 1960s, said Warren Den-ny, UK’s architect. Among itsbiggest features was address-ing pedestrian safety on RoseStreet by re-routing traffic toSouth Limestone viaHuguelet Avenue and settingan acquisition boundary thathasn’t changed much sincethe early ‘90s.
The master plans allowfor flexibility and are roadmaps to be considered whenmaking changes around UK,Denny said.
A UK committee inter-viewed four firms in latespring and chose Sasaki,based in Watertown, Mass.,from among those.
UK has started prelimi-nary work with Sasaki andwill start a community out-reach program in September,Wiseman said. A plannedwebsite also aims to connectcommunity to master-plandevelopment updates.

LOS ANGELES — Lucasfilm and 20thCentury Fox are taking a page out of thesuccessful 1997 re-release of the original“Star Wars” trilogy as they prepare for a 3-D launch of two more movies from thespace saga next year.
“Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” and“Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith,” the fifthand sixth movies in George Lucas’ science-fiction franchise — but the second and thirdchronologically — will be released in 3-Don Sept. 20, 2013, and Oct. 11, 2013, re-spectively. Lucasfilm announced the newson its Facebook page Monday.
Putting the two movies three weeksapart mirrors Fox and Lucasfilm’s strategy15 years ago when the original “Star Wars,”“Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of theJedi” were re-released in three-week incre-ments over the winter.
The approach can help create the feelingof a major fan event lasting a month or
more. It will also save marketing dollars, asFox (which handles distribution and adver-tising for “Star Wars”) can promote the twomovies together. In addition, it can maketheater bookings simpler, since “Revenge ofthe Sith” will likely replace “Attack of theClones” in many locations.
Not all “Star Wars” titles have been re-release blockbusters. “The Phantom Men-ace” grossed a decent $43.5 million when itwas re-released in 3-D in February.
But the re-releases of the original three“Star Wars” films grossed $138.3 million,$67.6 million, and $45.5 million, respec-tively, in 1997, when ticket prices weremuch lower.
Those three movies will be re-releasedin 3-D eventually as well. Don’t be sur-prised if they all hit screens in a six-weekspan.

Football teamfinally has identity
The Governor’s Cup isfour days away and the Catsare entering on a clean slate.
Because of that, the firstBreaking Bad of the season isgoing to be based on posi-tions that are inexperiencedor not exactly getting ravingreviews from the coachingstaff.
Priority numero uno forhead coach Joker Phillips’squad should be determininghow to slow down a possiblespread offense implementedby Louisville head coachCharlie Strong for his dual-threat quarterback, TeddyBridgewater.
With a squad that alreadystruggled against the pass,lacking experienced depth is-n’t going to do the team anyfavors.
1. SecondaryDespite our knowledge
venturing into the unknownon what sort of impact fresh-man running back turnedcornerback, Marcus Caffey,would’ve had, the Cats onlyhave three guys who havemore than a season of expe-rience. Once moved to safe-ty, current senior MartaviusNeloms finished the seasonthird in tackles. After beingaway from corner for quitesome time now, Neloms willhave to readjust to playingin his former position ingame speed, something theCats could ill afford to give.As of Monday’s final depthchart release, the Cats hadup to four freshman playingtwo-deep and sophomoreAshely Lowery startingalongside senior Mikie Ben-ton at the safety position.
2. Kick ReturnersThe Cats’ 20.26 yards per
kick return average was goodenough to be 86th in the na-tion last season. Mind you,there are only 120 teams inthe NCAA football bowl sub-division. The biggest problemwas a lack of consistency inwho the Cats had fieldingkicks. While Mychal Baileyhad the most returns, the Catshad seven players throughout
the season attempt a return.When seeing some of thoseguys attempt returns, theydidn’t seem to resemble Catsof the past who excelled inthe given role, in terms offinding their hole. Some ofthat blame can be placed ontheir blockers, but it just did-n’t seem to mesh. Senior run-ning backs Raymond Sandersand CoShik Williams couldprove to change that this sea-son, but at worst, sophomorewide receiver and currentpunt returner DemarcoRobinson fits the RandallCobb mold. And he definitelyhas the speed to overwhelmthe opposing defenders.Speaking of punt returns, UKaveraged a measly 1.8 onpunt returns last season. Now,compare that to their oppo-nents’ 8.5. It sounds minor,but that’s nearly 10 yards offield position. After all, it iscalled a game of inches.
3. Fan SupportThe conclusion of the
season’s first Breaking Baddoesn’t point any fingers atthe program. Nay, nay. It isthe fans that the questioningis directed for. Last seasonwas by no means great forPhillips. The recruiting trailwas a success. But, as RickMinter indicated on mediaday, you must lay one brickat a time. There is no need towithdraw your support fromthe team. The Cats haven’texactly been world-beatersduring the program’s exis-tence, which hasn’t stoppedfans from filling Common-wealth. So why are seasontickets at an all-time low?Yes, Tee Martin left, but thatdidn’t hamper another suc-cessful class. UK has one ofits best core of running backsand front seven on defensethan it has had in years. Thewideouts are still on standby,but the long-awaited SECspeed is finally on campus.With that said, fans, quit thepouting and suck it up for atleast another season. Phillipsfinally has the identity for afootball team.
It’s time to boost secondary, kick returners, fan support
CODYPORTER
Kernelcolumnist
When talking about UK’s 2013 recruiting class,many stars come to mind.However, only one is com-mitted to the Cats. DerekWillis, a 6-foot-9, 210-pound forward from Mt.Washington, Ky., is a namethat Cats fans should be-come familiar with.
Willis pledged to play forUK head coach John Caliparion Jan. 20 after de-commit-ting from Purdue University.
“I just wanted to kind ofcompare something else toPurdue and see what elsewas out there, and I reallyliked Kentucky,” he said.
It was Calipari’s trackrecord of putting players inthe NBA that led him to UK.
“You just look at whathe’s done and he has put allthese kids in the NBA,”Willis said. “Hopefully, Idoubt I’ll be a one-and-done, but hopefully I caneventually play in the NBAsomeday, and that’s mygoal.”
Before going to theleague, there are a fewthings the UK productwould like to accomplishduring his freshman seasonin Lexington.
“Hopefully start, andhopefully be good with theguys and be friends witheverybody and just do goodin school and see where itgoes from there,” he said.
The forward who com-pares his game to OklahomaCity Thunder star Kevin Du-rant’s is confident about
bringing another champi-onship to Lexington.
“If we get who we’relooking at then I guaranteeyou we will get a champi-onship,” he said.
But who exactly wouldWillis like to play with atUK?
“I would want JuliusRandle, the Harrison twins,Wiggins of course,” Willissaid.
He added that “the Har-rison twins, I think, are adefinite for sure” to join himat UK.
Willis, who was a con-sensus top 30 player in the2013 class has fallen offever since his commitmentto UK.
“I thought it was flatter-ing to be a top 30 player inthe nation,” said Willis, “butwhen I fell off I was a littledisappointed, but you knowit’s nothing to worry aboutbecause they don’t reallymean anything.”
But Willis does admit hehas some parts of his gamehe would like to polish be-fore setting foot on UK’scampus next fall.
“I’d like to put on moreweight, like 10 pounds,” hesaid. “And just improve oneverything. And schoolwork, too, not just basket-ball.”
Willis stays in contactwith the coaching staff atUK about extra things hecan do to ensure he is pre-pared for the 2013-14 sea-son.
In the meantime, he willspend his time focusing onthe upcoming season for hisBullitt East High Schoolteam, where he hopes tomake a run at not only astate championship, but alsothe Mr. Kentucky Basketballaward.
“We’re hoping to getback to state,” he said. “Ithink it’s going to be thehardest year to do that.”

2013 commit eventually wants to play in NBA
Willis looking for a title at UK
Just before the start of lastseason, the UK football teamsaw its four returning starterson the offensive line as astrength of the team. UKpromised a line that would
establish an above-averagerunning game and allow then-quarterback Morgan Newtonto find comfort in the pocketon passing downs.
In the end, the line cameup short.
Instead, UK is lookingahead to a new crop of offen-
sive linemen, again withplenty of promise, but far lessexperienced this time around.
UK returns two starters toits offensive line in centerMatt Smith and left guardLarry Warford. Not only willSmith and Warford be lookedto for leadership by other
linemen, but less than a weekbefore the season opener,they are already being lookedat as two of the most valuableassets on offense.
Smith was named the of-fensive captain last week,partially because he has start-ed 22 games at that positionover the last two seasons, in-cluding all 13 games hissophomore year and ninemore last year after beginningthe season with an ankle in-jury. Smith still made his wayonto the watch list for theRimington trophy, given atthe end of the year to the na-tion’s best center.
Warford might be evenmore accomplished thanSmith. The Cats’ left guard isa two-time second-team All-SEC performer (2010 and2011) and was named to theAll-SEC freshman team in2009. He has seen action in35 games over the last threeseasons and has made 25 con-secutive starts on the line, astreak he is expected to ex-tend when the new season ar-rives.
Filling out the remainderof the starting offensive linewill be sophomore DarrianMiller at left tackle, redshirtfreshman Zach West at leftguard and junior KevinMitchell at right tackle.
As a true freshman in2011, Miller was able to earnplaying time in all 12 of UK’sgames, including two startsearly in the year when start-ing left tackle Chandler Bur-den was battling injury prob-lems of his own.
As the only other starteron the line with previousstarting experience, Millercould prove to be the X-fac-tor up front. He was rated oneof the top 20 offensive line-men in America byScout.com coming out ofhigh school and showedpromise last season with hisimposing size and athleti-cism.
“Actually knowing whatI’m supposed to do and howto do it, technique, things ofthat nature. That’s what I’vebeen focusing on,” Millersaid.
West and Mitchell com-bined for one career start pri-or to this season (Mitchellstarted last year’s season-opener against Western Ken-tucky), and that lack of expe-rience can be scary to thosehoping to see a more wide-open offense this season.
Mitchell began his careeras a tight end before switchingback and forth between tackleand guard. Most of his playingtime over the past two seasons
has been on special teams.West will be entering into
his first year of eligibility atUK after redshirting last sea-son and has been the project-ed starter at left guard sincethe spring.
Cohesiveness does notseem to be a problem for thisline, which is an improve-ment from last year’s banged-up group. West says the rela-tionship the linemen share isa strength of the position.
“The chemistry (on theline) is pretty good this year,”West said. “I feel like it’s alot better than it was last year.... We feel like we get alongas a unit very well.”
Senior tackle TrevinoWoods was in competitionwith Mitchell for the startingright tackle job since the startof spring practice and couldbe UK’s best bet in terms oflinemen on the bench.
Sophomore Teven Eat-mon-Nared has not seen ac-tion in a UK uniform yet butis another name waiting to becalled into duty.
“These coaches did agreat job of recruiting a lot ofsmart guys that are big andcan play,” Smith said.“They’re learning things fastand hopefully it all can trans-late over to the field once weput the pads on.”

Lexington property nearUK’s campus is still up forsale more than two years afterbeing put on the market.
Thirty-eight buildings situpon the property, which runs
primarily from Maxwell Streetto Hagerman Court. The pricefor them all is listed on Home-finder.com as $8.9 million.
Ownership belongs toLexington attorney and down-town developer Bill Lear andhis extended family.
This year, UK will begin
developing a university masterplan that will focus on how to use available space. AlthoughUK will continue to expand,no interest has been expressedin purchasing the block.
“I think where and howwe acquire properties near uswill be subject to some dis-cussion in meetings withneighborhoods,” said BobWiseman, vice president offacilities management. “I’mnot sure that we have a realfocus on those properties.”
Property owner and real-estate agent Carol Bryant reit-erated that UK is not likely topurchase the block.
“We didn’t make anyhuge proposals or anythinglike that,” Bryant said. “Theyjust haven’t come to us orshown any real interest.”
The economic recessionis believed by many to haveplayed a role in the slow-moving sale of the property.
Rental income for theproperty is listed at more than$1 million per year.
Although the 38 buildingsare listed together, Bryant saysthe owners would consider
selling them in groupings oftwo or three. However, theywill not sell them individually.
Wiseman and Bryantagreed that the buildings willlikely continue to be used asstudent residences becausethey are so close to campus.
“It’s right on the edge ofcampus,” Bryant said. “It’s aclose walk for students andthere’s a lot of parking avail-able.”
Two parking lots are in-cluded in the listing in addi-tion to the 38 buildings.
Bryant said a sale would-n’t affect current residents’leases. There are no plans totear down or rebuild.

September is for styleEvery September, maga-
zine racks are stuffed withthe biggest issues of the year.
ThisSeptember,however,will be thebiggest issueof 120 yearsfor Vogue.What betterway to drawattention tothe issuethan by put-ting fashionicon LadyGaga on the
cover?She was photographed by
Mert Alas and Marcus Pig-gott and styled by GraceCoddington, the creative di-rector at Vogue. Marc Jacobsdesigned Gaga’s cover dress,no doubt a particularly eye-catching piece.
What gave Vogue a bigspotlight for this issue wasthe picture Gaga tweeted, onewhere she is wearing nothingbut a fuchsia feathered hat byStephen Jones. There’s a rea-son Vogue is such an iconic
magazine — because it neverfails to surprise readers, andGaga is full of surprises.
Victoria Beckham rivaledGaga on the front cover ofGlamour with a spread thatwas supposed to be a take ona soccer mom’s life. Howev-er, I think every Septembermagazine will have a hardtime competing with Vogue’s916-page heavyweight.
But one question that of-ten goes unanswered is “WhySeptember?”
What makes Septemberso special?
September marks thetransition period from thesummer to the fall lines. Theshort answer: new clothes.
September is also themonth of New York FashionWeek, the biggest week ofthe year for fashion. Design-ers in New York will startshowing the world theirSpring 2013 collections onthe runway.
So while we prepare torevamp and restock ourwardrobes for fall, the fash-ion world is already lookingto the future.
This year, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is fromSept. 6 through 13.
Since we’re in Lexington,it can be hard to keep upwith our favorite designersand big statements madethroughout Fashion Week,but newyorkfashionweeklive.com willhave free streaming and cov-erage of the daily shows.
One catwalk to look for is“Project Runway,” which willbe at 10 a.m. Sept. 7 at The-atre in New York City. Theshow features new designerswith different views on whatfashion should look like.
Find a schedule of all theshows at mbfashionweek.com/schedule.
So as we prepare to diveinto this fashion-crazedmonth of September, whenwe’ll be searching for thegreatest of fall fashions anddrooling over the crazy de-signs that New York FashionWeek has to offer, always re-member what Yves SaintLaurent once said:
“Fashions fade, style iseternal.”
Vogue’s biggest issue ever, Fashion Week upcoming

PHOTOS BY TESSA LIGHTY | STAFFMany students live on Hagerman Court north of UK’s campus. Rental income is listed at more than $1million per year total for the 38 properties for sale, which include homes on Hagerman Court.
If you’ve never seen anactual airline ticket (no,that’s not the same as aboarding pass), never maileda first-class letter for lessthan 30 cents and neverknown Los Angeles to havea pro football team, then youmight be an incoming col-lege freshman.
So says the latest BeloitCollege Mindset List, whichattempts to summarize whatmembers of the Class of2016 know — and what theydon’t — by referencing thecultural touchstones thathave come and/or gone intheir lifetime.
The list, released Tues-day, is a collection of refer-ences to pop culture (JustinBieber and Dakota Fanningare their age), politics (awoman has run the U.S.State Department for muchof their lives) and technolo-gy (their world has alwaysexisted in cyberspace).
To members of the Classof 2016, many of whomwere born in 1994, “TheGraduate” protagonist Ben-jamin Braddock could betheir grandfather.
Other points on the listshow not just the passage oftime, but also the evolutionof behavior. This year’s col-lege freshman would likelythink it strange for WhiteHouse security to greet agroup of gay elected officialsby wearing rubber gloves, ashappened during PresidentBill Clinton’s first term. (AClinton spokesman laterapologized.)
Beloit College Englishand humanities professorTom McBride and formercollege Public Affairs Direc-tor Ron Nief have compiledthe list annually since 1998.As for larger trends amongthis year’s college freshmen,McBride said one is clear.
“They’ve come into theirteenage years at a time whenthere are real doubts aboutAmerica’s future, aboutwhether America will con-tinue to be a No. 1 power,about crushing debt, aboutrecovery from the economicrecession,” McBride said inan interview.
“This is a generation forwhom D-E-B-T is going tobe a four-letter word.They’re aware it was excessdebt that caused the reces-sion. They’ve seen older sib-
lings graduate college andcome back home withoutany prospects for a job.They’ve heard the word ‘un-derwater’ and they know itisn’t referring to a swimmingpool.”
In the minds of incomingcollege freshmen:
People don’t carry lug-gage, they roll it.
They don’t have new en-cyclopedias.
Kurt Cobain has alwaysbeen dead.
“The Real World” has al-ways stopped getting politeand started getting real.
Los Angeles has neverhad a pro football team.
Robert De Niro isn’t theyoung Vito Corleone in “TheGodfather II” or Jimmy Con-way in “Goodfellas”; he’sBen Stiller’s father-in-law in“Meet the Parents.”
Bill Clinton is a seniorstatesman, not a recent for-mer president.
They had Furbys.“Star Wars” was always
just a film, not a defensestrategy.
There have always beenblue M&M’s, but no tanones.

CHRISTOPHER EPLING, Kernel cartoonist
Hi there. My name’s Alex, and I haveopinions. Chances are you do, too.
I’ll be co-piloting this Opinions Pageplane, but fear not: my esteemed colleague
Gary Hermann will makesure we stay the courseand not plummet from thesky catastrophically, sortof like this metaphor isdoing as you read it. Still,buckle your seatbelts any-way.
Opinions can be un-informed, inflammatory,dangerous and madden-ing. They can also bewell-developed, persua-sive, influential andthought-provoking.
Opinions are the ingredients on hu-mankind’s buffet of thought. That meansthere will be some differences, but that’s agood thing. Wouldn’t the world be boringif everything tasted like tapioca?
To be honest, I don’t consider myself anopinionated person. I’d never stand on astreet corner, feet planted on a soapbox (isthere even such a thing anymore?), beratingpassers-by with my views on war and reli-gion and all the other topics that make fami-lies yell at each other over holiday dinners.
But just because I won’t engage astranger in a health-care discussion doesn’t
mean I don’t have things to say. Opinionsare opinions, whether large or small, politi-cal or whimsical.
So don’t be shy. If you read somethinghere that stirs an angry fire in your stom-ach, or if you just want to write about yourlove for trees, I want to read what youhave to say.
Bonus points for inducing laughter.(Note: Bonus points are non-redeemable.)
And though I may not agree with whatyou say, I’ll defend to the death your rightto say it ... well, I’ll put it in print, anyway.That Voltaire fellow was a bit more ex-treme than me.
I’ll be doing my best to crank out somethoughts of my own throughout the weeksbefore the Kernel staff members start topretend they don’t know me, and I’d loveto hear your feedback. You can point andlaugh at me. You can compliment me. Youcan challenge me to a fight, although Iwon’t accept because I am a coward — Imean, proper gentleman.
So let’s have some fun. It’s my hope tomake a few of you laugh and perhapsmildly entertain some others. For all therest of you who read this and think it awaste of your time, well, that’s just youropinion, man.

“One day you’re in,and the next day you’reout,” Heidi Klum said.This statement is not onlytrue in the fashion worldbut is prevalent in all phas-es of our pop culture.
Every few years,what’s “current” changes.For example, a while agothere was the whole vam-pire phase. Sadly this in-cluded the “Twilight” fran-chise, “True Blood” and“Vampire Diaries,” to
name a few. It was a low point for society. Atthat point, if you wrote anything about brood-ing modelesque vampires, you had hit thejackpot.
Vampires were current, so that dictatedwhat was written about, what was in the the-aters and what new TV shows were on.
Alas, once again, society has changed itsinterests. Fairytales have risen once again, butnot the ones we grew up with. These modernfairytales are being rewritten with darker ele-ments and targeted to an adult audience.
This trend has become evident with televi-sion shows such as “Once Upon a Time,”“Grimm” and the upcoming “Beauty and theBeast.” Don’t get me wrong, I love that thesestories are making a comeback. But I thinkthere is a limit on how many fairy tales shouldbe remade, and we are slowly reaching it.
Yes, they can not only attract children buta wide range of ages. I’m a big fan of “OnceUpon a Time” because it takes elements fromold bedtime stories and incorporates many
modern issues with a sense of originality. The problem I have with these phases and
fads are that there is a complete lack of inno-vation. There is nothing new. One show wasenough, but now there are several shows thathave the same plot line.
Sure, fairytales are popular, but it seemslike Hollywood smothers its audiences. Idon’t understand why Hollywood writers, andeven some authors, write the same show orbook, only with different characters. If it’sthat easy, then who knows, maybe I couldwrite the next bestseller.
If anything, there needs to be more inven-tiveness from the writers of novels, moviesand television shows. Originality doesn’tseem to market as well, but it certainly enter-tains.
Take, for example, “Arrested Develop-
ment.” It only had three seasons, but due topopular demand, is returning with a fourthseason and a movie.
Original ideas do not last in Hollywoodor anywhere else in society.
The world does not need another vampireepidemic; we crossed that line and didn’teven think twice about it. But if we have asmall amount of everything, like fairytales,vampires and sitcoms, then there is a perfectbalance and something for everyone.
Although interests change over time,some good and some bad, society needs to bemore innovative with entertainment.
We owe it to our sanity to prevent furtherhorrid phases that ruin the development ofgood literature, film and music.
