Recent shootings in Aurora, Colo., andNewtown, Conn., have sparked a call to ac-tion for one group — Organizing for Action,to be precise.
Organizing for Action is a nonprofit, na-tionwide organization with a focus on U.S.policy.
The group is hosting a candlelight vigilfor victims of gun violence at 6:30 p.m. onFriday at the Robert F. Stephens CourthouseComplex, to give victims a voice, bring peo-ple together and let the federal governmentknow that people want change, organizerssay.
Vice President Joe Biden said Thursdaythat guns kill 25 people every day.
Organizing for Action, which supportsPresident Barack Obama’s gun policies,wants this number to diminish.
“Some are actually going to members’ ofCongress offices,” said Keidra King, a leaderof Organizing for Action in Kentucky. “Oth-ers are going on Facebook and Twitter andflooding officials’ pages.”
Keidra King worked on the Obama cam-paign in 2012 but shifted her focus to policysince the campaign ended.
King stressed that Organizing for Actionis a non-partisan organization.
“It is no longer about a candidate or aparty. It is about us coming together to havecomprehensive legislation,” King said. “Workwith whoever wants to come to the table, andwork together.”
Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, theSenate minority leader, has voted three timesin opposition of stricter gun laws.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul says on hiswebsite, “I do not support any proposed guncontrol law which would limit the right togun ownership by those who are responsible,law-abiding citizens.”
King wants the senators to rethink theirstances on gun control.
“We want a vote on gun-control policywith a focus on background checks,” Kingsaid. “We need everyone in Lexington andLouisville to reach out to our officials on thefederal level to push for a change.”

TORONTO — In what wasbilled as his last highschool game on home soil,phenom Andrew Wigginsreturned to Canada to playin a game versus UnitedLeadership Academy inHamilton, Ontario, on Sun-day afternoon.
Canadians are enamoredwith the notion that he isconsidered the best playerof his class, as seen by thestanding room-only crowd
of thousands occupying the McMaster Univer-sity gymnasium.
Wiggins didn’t even need to take off hissweats to send the crowd into gasps, as he re-peated one of Terrence Ross’ dunks from theprevious night’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
Each time he touched theball, a collective gasp could beheard in the gym, anticipatingwhat he was going to do next.Whether it be a rebound, break-out pass or slam dunk, specta-tors followed his every move.
He turned in 25 points (10-of-13 shooting), nine rebounds,four assists and two blocks in hisperformance, with his Hunting-ton Prep team winning, 81-52.
It was quite evident Wigginswasn’t playing to his full poten-tial. Early on he was dunking,shooting a three and playingwell defensively.
As the game wore on, hedidn’t have the same excite-ment, seemingly knowing thatULA wasn’t going to be able tofight back.
When asked postgame, hecouldn’t remember the last timehe was faced with a superiorcompetitor.
That admission could gohand-in-hand with questions ofhis intensity and work ethic,emphasized by an article on theSports Illustrated website earlierin the week. Wiggins respond-ed the following evening with
a 57-point outburst.More questions surround which school he
will attend for his one-and-done college ca-reer. It is believed UK, Kansas and FloridaState are the leading candidates to land him.FSU is favored, given that his teammate andfellow Canadian Xavier Rathan-Mayes has al-ready chosen to attend. Both of Wiggins’ par-ents also went to school there.
Under the spotlight, Wiggins remains thesame: confident in his abilities and humble.He has a wonderful gift. Wherever he decidesto take his talent, rest assured it will be only astop gap before moving on to the NBA. Hisattributes will ensure Canada will have a bas-ketball superstar to call their own.

UK’s Department of Theatre will presentperformances of “Gross Indecency: The ThreeTrials of Oscar Wilde” this weekend and nextat Guignol Theatre.
“Gross Indecency” was written in 1997 byMoisés Kaufman and follows, as its name sug-gests, the three courtroom trials of author Os-car Wilde.
This season, the theater department hastaken on considerable creative license with itsproductions.
Its rendition of “Les Liaisons dan-gereuses,” a play set in 18th-century France,was performed through the lens of the 1980spunk rock scene. And performances of “Onthe Verge (or the Geography of Yearning)”featured the song “Gangnam Style.”
Under the direction of UK College of FineArts professor Russell Henderson, UK per-formances of “Gross Indecency” will havetheir own unique spin.
“The director has really opened up theconcept of the play.... It’s not as clearly set ina courtroom, although there are aspects of acourtroom,” said Nancy Jones, chair of theUK Department of Theatre. “And then thereare other aspects of the set that I think will re-ally surprise the audience.”
Audiences will see a play that is based onhistorical documents that lend to the dramaand to the complex plot.
“When you’re talking about a documen-tary drama like this, there is a kind of
‘Rashomon’ like quality to it,” Jones said.“Rashomon” is a 1950s Japanese period
drama film that tells the story of a murderthrough characters that have varying versionsof the same event.
“So when you’re talking about history,and a historical even like this, you are get-ting multiple perspectives on one story,”Jones said.
“I think that’s really interesting for the au-dience to be able to sift through ideas andcome up with their own version of the truth.”
“Gross indecency” is a British legal termthat refers to a set of laws that were used topersecute homosexual men when sodomycould not be proven.
Oscar Wilde himself was convicted underthese laws and given the most severe sentencepossible — two years “hard labor, hard fareand hard bed.” A sentence, which the presid-ing judge referred to as “totally inadequate fora case such as this.”
Homosexual acts were not decriminalizedin Britain until 1967.
UK students will perform the play about aman being jailed for his passion in the samemonth that Britain has taken a huge step inmarriage equality.
Earlier this month, the House of Commonspassed a bill that could legalize same-sex mar-riage in Britain if passed in a second vote inthe House of Lords.
Tickets for “Gross Indecency” are $10 forstudents and $15 for general admission.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. this Fridayand Saturday, and on Feb. 28 and March 1-2,and at 2 p.m. on March 3.

Move over Simon, Paula and Randy.There’s a new “Idol” in town.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity andDelta Delta Delta sorority, in partnershipwith the AcoustiCats, the all-male acapella group on campus, have created“University Idol” to showcase the singingtalents of the Lexington community andraise money for the Lexington CancerFoundation.
LCF is an events-based nonprofit or-ganization that raises funds throughout theyear and sets up a grant program to im-prove cancer care. In 2012, LCF raisedmore than $200,000 in grants for 13 non-profits in Kentucky.
Jeremy Lewis, the creator of the event,is the president of SAE and an activemember of the AcoustiCats.
He said the idea came from a collabo-ration between the two and a desire to in-corporate a wider audience on campus.
“We want to knock down the barrierof Greek organizations only workingwith other Greek organizations,” Lewissaid. “I hope this event can be the pio-neer innovator that can help us to dothat.”
The event began with accepting audi-tion tapes online from people in the Lex-ington community ranging from ages 14to 24.
“Why are we always limiting ourevents to only college students? There’sno reason for it,” Lewis said.
He explained that the event could actas a recruiting tool for the high schoolerscompeting, allowing them to gain a col-lege experience.
In addition, opening the event to morepeople will allow for more to be raisedfor the Lexington Cancer Foundation,Lewis said.
Emily Dicks, Tri Delta’s philanthropychair, said the organizers have been work-ing hard to promote the event—and notjust on campus.
“We’ve been promoting at highschools, music festivals and throughout
the community because we want thisevent to pull from everyone and not justone demographic,” Dicks said.
Auditions will be accepted untilMarch 3.
Once the videos have been reviewed,eight finalists will be chosen to move for-ward in the competition.
The finalists will choose one song toperform for the live audience at the event.They will submit these songs to theevent’s musical director, Bryan Carter.
Carter, who lives in New York, willtailor the track to the finalists’ vocalranges and send back a personalizedtrack.
The final three in the competition willeach sing the Beatles song “Let It Be,” inhonor of the Lexington Cancer Founda-tion.
The audience will vote to decide thewinner, with the first- and second-placewinners receiving a cash prize.
Kristi Martin, executive director atLCF, hopes that all in the community willembrace the event and that students willshow their support.
“We are excited to have a unique op-portunity to get the UK student body in-volved in this philanthropic experienceand hope they leave knowing they made adifference in the lives of many,” Martinsaid.
Lewis said that LCF was chosen asthe philanthropy because organizers want-ed the money to support the Lexingtonarea.
“As opposed to the money going na-tionally, it’s staying here in Lexington, inour community,” Lewis said.
“This is not a Greek event; it’s a com-munity event.”
Despite the time-consuming and ex-pensive preparation, Lewis hopes theevent will have a future at UK.
“We expect it to grow every year andto continue to bridge the gap that is oftenforgotten in our Greek community,”Lewis said.
The event will be at the SingletaryCenter for the Arts on April 6.

UK baseball continued its start to the2013 season Thursday at the Caravelle Re-sort Invitational in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
The Cats lost the first of their three-game weekend schedule, going down, 7-5,to Kansas State.
Sophomore left-handed pitcher A.J.Reed took the loss against K-State, just un-der one week removed from his winagainst UNC Asheville to open the Cats’season last Friday.
Reed tossed 4.1 innings in Thursday’sloss, giving up four earned runs on sevenhits.
The Cats took a 2-0 lead in the fourthafter a Reed drew a walk to kick-start theinning. No. 8 UK then loaded up the baseswith zero outs but failed toscore more than two runs dur-ing the rally.
Although the Cats added athird run in the fifth, they weremade to pay for not capitaliz-ing on that opportunity whenK-State knocked Reed out ofthe game in the bottom of thefifth on their way to a five-runinning.
K-State moved 7-3 aheadin the eighth thanks to a two-run homer off the bat of sopho-more Shane Conlon.
Reed hit a two-run homerhimself with two outs in thebottom of the ninth, but it wasnot enough as K-State (3-1)sealed the upset 7-5 win.
The Cats (3-1) won’t havelong to worry about defeat asthey return to the diamond Fri-day to take on Elon University(2-2) in an 11 a.m. contest.

Coming down the final stretch, No. 8 UKHoops (23-3, 11-2 SEC) is second in the con-ference and almost in reach of the postsea-son. Between the Cats and the regular sea-son’s end are three games, with LouisianaState University (15-10, 6-6 SEC) first ondeck.
Since losing at home to No. 13 Georgiaon Feb. 3, the Cats have been tested time andagain, and emerged victorious with eachchallenge: an overtime win on the road atArkansas, a 22-point victory at Vanderbilt, a16-point comeback at home to beat No. 15South Carolina, and a last-minute victory atNo. 10 Texas A&M.
Part of the UK surge has been due tothe emergence of junior guard KastineEvans as a starter, and the contribution ofsophomore guard Bria Goss coming off thebench. Prior to UK head coach MatthewMitchell moving Evans to the starting line-up, she was averaging 3.7 points per gameas a substitute, and Goss was averaging 8.8as a starter.
Since trading places in the lineup,Evans has averaged 8.5 points per game,and Goss has averaged 13 per game. Bothhave scored crucial baskets late in close
games.Senior guard A’dia Mathies leads the Cats
in scoring with 15.7 points per game overalland 18.1 per game in SEC play. In her finalcollegiate season, Mathies sits in third placeon the all-time scoring list for UK Hoops,just two points behind former UK star Victo-ria Dunlap.
For LSU, 6-foot-5 junior forwardTheresa Plaisance has been the statisticalleader, averaging 17.6 points and eight re-bounds per game. Two other Tigers joinPlaisance with double-digit scoring aver-ages: senior guard Adrienne Webb (13.9per game) and freshman Danielle Ballard(12.6 per game).
That production was on display whenthe Tigers beat No. 9 Georgia, 62-54, twoweeks ago, as Plaisance contributed 13points, Webb added 12 points and Ballardadded 15 rebounds. That victory came justdays after narrowly losing to No. 12 Ten-nessee.
Since then, the Tigers have dismantledMississippi State, 63-41, and now awaitmatchups with Missouri on Friday and UKon Sunday.

FRESNO, Calif. — Rudolfo Anaya’s rise asone of the founders of contemporary Chi-cano literature started with his 1972 novel“Bless Me, Ultima,” a look at life in NewMexico during World War II. It’s the best-selling Chicano novel of all time, with morethan 350,000 copies sold.
Despite how much the book means to hiscareer, Anaya had no trouble turning it over todirector/screenwriter Carl Franklin to adapt itto the film that opens in select theaters Friday.
“It’s like how we turn our kids over (tochild care). There’s some point where youhave to let go, and that was easy for me todo because I know nothing about how tomake movies,” Anaya says.
The 75-year-old New Mexico native hasspent his life as a teacher and a writer. He fol-lowed “Bless Me, Ultima,” the first part of atrilogy, with books of fiction and a series ofpublications for children and young adults. Hewrote at night while working as a middle
school and high school teacher during the day.He laughs and says he kept his teaching
job because it paid the bills, unlike his writing.Anaya’s passion for writing developed

“That’s where I started falling in love withwriting and reading because they opened meup to so many different ideas.

Anaya thinks “Bless Me, Ultima” hasbeen so popular because there are elements— love, hate, faith, loss — that are universalto people of different cultures.

FRESNO, Calif. — Rudolfo Anaya’s rise asone of the founders of contemporary Chi-cano literature started with his 1972 novel“Bless Me, Ultima,” a look at life in NewMexico during World War II. It’s the best-selling Chicano novel of all time, with morethan 350,000 copies sold.
Despite how much the book means to hiscareer, Anaya had no trouble turning it over todirector/screenwriter Carl Franklin to adapt itto the film that opens in select theaters Friday.
“It’s like how we turn our kids over (tochild care). There’s some point where youhave to let go, and that was easy for me todo because I know nothing about how tomake movies,” Anaya says.
The 75-year-old New Mexico native hasspent his life as a teacher and a writer. He fol-lowed “Bless Me, Ultima,” the first part of atrilogy, with books of fiction and a series ofpublications for children and young adults. Hewrote at night while working as a middle
school and high school teacher during the day.He laughs and says he kept his teaching
job because it paid the bills, unlike his writing.Anaya’s passion for writing developed
while he was studying literature at the Uni-versity of New Mexico.
“That’s where I started falling in love withwriting and reading because they opened meup to so many different ideas. The key is thatthe world is full of ideas and symbols that Isaw in all those books I began to read,” Anayasays. “They started to resonate with my child-hood where I had spent so much timewrestling with questions about good and evil.”
