Surgeon perfOrm$ heart/lung transplant

Established 1894

Operation first of its kind
in Central Kentucky area

 

By Nicole Heumphreus
Staff Writer

 

A heart/lung transplant was suc-
cessfully performed for the first
time at UK Hospital this weekend.

The patient, an Eastern Kentucky
man in his 205. is in critical but
stable condition, said Dr. Michael
Sekela. UK's heart, lung and heart/
lung transplant surgeon.

The man suffered from pulmo-
nary hypertension, or high blood
pressure in the lungs, which is
caused by congenital heart disease.

Sekela, who began the nine-hour
surgery Saturday evening, said the
patient is “doing OK“ and that the
first thing the patient's mother no-
ticed was that “the flesh under his
fingernails was now pink and no
longer blue."

The patient and his family wish
to remain anonymous because the
patient does not want people to feel
sorry for him, but rather “feel hap-
py for him because he is happy,“
Sekela said.

He decided to apply to have the
transplant operation about six
months ago when his health began
rapidly to deteriorate. Because of
the heart condition, he found that
even walking to the car became a
major task, Sekela said.

The patient. Sekela said. was
born without the chamber of his
heart that should pump blood to the
lungs. Instead. the chamber that
pumps blood to the rest of his body
also had to pump blood to his lungs.
Because of the missing chamber.
his body‘s ability to oxygenate his
blood had deteriorated.

The operation became possible
when an unidentified Kentucky res-
ident died in an accident Saturday
morning. The blood and the tissue
type of the donor matched the pa-

tient‘s type, making the transplant
feasible.

Sekela left UK to pick up the or-
gans Saturday rnomirtg and re-
turned at about 6:30 pm. to per-
form the operation.

Although Sekela performed
bean/lung transplants before com-
ing to UK, it was the first for the
hospital's team of nurses and anes-
thesiologists. He said they per-
formed well during the surgery.

The patient was completely se-
dated and paralyzed for the surgery.
He will remain paralyzed for the
next 48 hours because. if his body
reacted to pain following surgery. it
would cause undue stress on the
new heart, Sekela said.

The patient now will be watched
closely to determine if there are any
signs of tissue rejection and respira-
tory distress.

After 48 hours, if the patient is
not having any problems, he will be
taken off a ventilator that assists
breathing. Sekela said there is a
possibility of infection because.
once the patient is removed from
the ventilator, he will be breathing
unfiltered air. .

The patient will be given drugs to
help fight any possible infections or
rejection.

If the organs are not rejected by
the body. most of the patient‘s next
few weeks will be spent in physical
therapy.

Sekela said he would prefer not
having to perform the bean/lung
transplant but finds the surgery re-
warding.

“This is one of the most challeng—
ing surgeries I do. but it is the most
rewarding because. universally. my
patients will die without it," he said.

The heart/lung transplant was the
first of its kind in Eastem and (Ten-
tral Kentucky.

Candidate: UK must better serve students

 

By Tammy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

 

 

 

 

n~9n~.9‘“"

A candidate for the Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Council
says UK does not offer enough
services to its students. placing a
strain on the community.

”The University does not carry
enough of the burden in providing
certain services." said Linden
Smith, who is running for the third
district council seat. The district
includes UK.

"The demand for services spills
over to the neighborhood commu-
nities. and those communities suf-
fer to make those services."

Smith said students should stand
up to the administration and de-
mand better services— particular-
ly in the areas of housing and

o

parking.

“1 drink the students are getting
shortchangcd," he said.

Smith. who is an environmental
engineer for Mining Consulting
Services. said students are not satis-
fied with the parking or the housing
at UK. and that they flood into sur-
rounding neighborhoods seeking
apartrnents and parking spaces as a
result.

He also said many long-time resi-
dents arc getting upset because the
students are taking the residents‘
parking spots.

“It is the neighborhotxl that sur-
rounds UK carnpns that takes the
heating (with parking and hous-
ing)." Smith said. “There is always
going to be pain, but we need to re-
apportion where that pain goes to."

Smith said he believes UK —— not
the community —- should he more

\

' ' ' ""“~-wwW'" '
.

obligated to the students.

Joe Burch. vice president for
University Relations. said UK has
enough parking for students. but
the parking may not be in the plac-
es students want to park.

”We don‘t have an overabun-
dance of parking. but we have it."
Burch said. “It is not always in the
location that people prefer. It may
cause some (students) to park on
streets where it may be closer.“

Burch said many of the neighbor-
hoods where students are parking
are where many students live.

Smith said UK also docs not of-
fer sufficient housing. causing stu-
dents to look elsewhere in the com-
rnunity.

This can destroy the character of
neighborhoods. Smith said. Be-
cause there is a demand for apart-
ments around campus. many of the

houses near campus are turning
into apartment houses. which he
said ruins the family atmosphere of
neighborhoods.

UK currently has vacancies in
the dormitories. Director of Resi-
dence Life Bob (‘lay said, but
many students choose to live off
campus. (‘lay said only about 23
percent of students live on campus.
which is near average for a major
university.

“We let students choose to live
where they want to live. and we
think that is the best way." Clay
said.

He added that it is natural for a
20- or 21-year-old student to want
his own apartment.

Smith also is criticizing UK for
buying too much of land around

interruption now.“
The interruption

Mather was elected trustee
by a ballot sent to professors
across the campus last month.
Numbers were not released.

Despite the amount of time
the job will consume. Mather
said he “looks forward to it."

"I think it will be an inter-

De ja View: Theater celebrates one year birthday i

 

By John Dyer Fort
Senior Staff Writer

 

Lexingtonians can celebrate to-
day. The Kentucky Theatre is one
year old —— again.

Today marks one year since Lex-
ington's grande dome of theaters
was reopened. Originally built in
I922, the ornate. BOO-seat movie
house was closed after a 1987 fire
damaged the interior. Five years
passed before the city agreed to pur-
chase the theater and restore it to
showplace condition.

Considered a favorite by movie
patrons looking for alternative film
fare. a healthy portion of the movie-
going population suffered with-
drawal pains while the Kentucky
sat empty on Main Street.

Where else would moviegoers
see unique films on the giant silver
screen — cult and animated films
such as “Roadside Prophets" and
“The Hunger," movie classics rang-
ing from “Casablanca" to “Blade
Runner," overlooked films includ-
ing “The Rapture" and “Black
Robe." foreign films such as “Koy-
aanisqatsi" and “Jesus of Montreal"
and other specialty films such as
“Glengary Glen Ross" and “Missis—
sippiMasala"?

While anticipation for the Ken-
tucky‘s reopening ran high, the fact
that a major theater chain with 16

screens had opened since the Ken-
tucky closed was cause for concern.
Also, two theaters offering a total
of four $I movies had opened.

Nonetheless, theater operators
believed that Lexingtonians would
return in force. Longtime Kentucky
manager Fred Mills believed
strongly that franchise cinemas and
VCRs were no substitute for the
all-out visual and aural feast the
Kentucky's 42-foot screen and I4
Dolby stereo speakers provided.

Luckily enough, the optimism
was justified.

“We are pleased with the atten—
dance this year," said Mills, who
has worked at the Kentucky since
he was 16 in I963 and became a
manager in 1974.

“As everybody knows, the city
owns the building and we are a
management company. It‘s a win.
win, win situation. And the city is
able to get (its) money back,“ Mills
added.

Attendance figures are about “10
percent better than we had thought
it would be," Mills said. He esti-
mates that the Kentucky has shown
between 350 and 400 films.

Some of the more successful
films, Mills said, have been “Ho-
ward’s End," the 50th anniversary
edition of “Casablanca.“ “The Rap-
ture,” “Europa Europa." “Blade
Runner," “Enchanted April.“ “My

Own Private Idaho" and several an-
imation films.

The midnight movie continues to
be a local favorite with “Pink
Floyd: The Wall," “Heavy Metal"
and “Emanuelle” in 3-1) topping
the list.

“There‘s something to be said for
the movie-going public in Lexing-
ton," Mills said. “We still have the
suggestion box in the lobby, and
we go through that. We are amazed
at some of the titles we find. It‘s
great to know people are in tune to
what we're doing.

“We brought in ‘The Wizard of
Oz' and then someone told me it
was on TV that week," Mills re-
called, smiling. “I thought it would
kill us. Well, let me tell you, on
Saturday and Sunday afternoon
they just poured in. It didn‘t hurt us
a bit."

In addition to regaining its place
as a movie house, the last year has
seen live concerts taking place on
the Kentucky's new, fully equipped
stage.

In March, Bela Fleck and the
Flecktones and Lucinda Williams
sold out the Kentucky in its pre-
miere musical efforts.

“Somebody told me this is the
best thing musically to happen in
Lexington in years,“ Mills said.

Mills approved of The Coffee-
house Concert Series because it

Kentucky photographer reveals secret to his landscapes

beault's brilliant Kentucky land-
scapes have become a recognizable
trademark. Known for his distinct
style, Archambeault “toured" his
landscapes during a slide show and
seminar at the UK Student Center
last week.

Many of Archambeault‘s land-
scapes shown during the slide pres-
entation were familiar to audience
members from his well-known
books “Kentucky," “Kentucky II"
and “The Gift of Pleasant Hill."
However, Archambeault‘s works
belong to that category of photo-
graphs that you can look at and en-
joy again and again.

What makes Archambeault, who
has never had any training in pho-
tography, successful?

During the seminar, the photogra-
pher revealed the secrets of his
craft.

As it tumed out. Archambeault
doesn‘t have a lot of technical se-
crets. He uses one type of film; he
doesn‘t have a lot of equipment;
and he doesn't use filters.

“The most frequent question that

I‘ve been asked is: What kind of
camera do you use,“ Archambeault
said. “People overestimate the im-
portance of equipment. I always an-
swer, ‘It‘s not a camera who sees
and take pictures. It's a photogra-
pher who does that.‘ "

When Archambeault started to
work on his first book, he didn't
have an expensive camera or a lot
of experience. It was his ability to
“see" — his creative way of think—
ing — that made the publisher of
the future book, Graphic Arts Cen-
ter Co. select him from among oth-
er photographers.

“The representative of the Graph-
ic Arts Center Company catne to
Lexington and had an interview
with 12 photographers," Archam-
beault recalled. “All of them, ex-
cept me. were ‘real‘ photographers
well-equipped and well-
established.

“As for me, I didn’t even think
about myself as a photographer. I
spent a few hours a week with my
camera — just because I liked it,
and to have a break from my job,
which I did not really like."

Archambeault did a lot of things
before turning to photography: He
worked with the Peace Corps in the

Philippines and trained future Peace
Corps members in Hawaii. He was
a staff writer for United Press Inter-
national in Louisville and Lexing-
ton. He also worked as an adminis-
trative assistant for then-Fayette
County Judge Robert Stephens.

In his mid-305 when he was inter-
viewed by his future publisher, Ar-
chambeault was in the real estate
business and still unhappy with
what he was doing.

When the publisher asked him if
he would quit his job and work on
the book, Archambeault did not
hesitate.

“That’s how these two years of
working hard. eating only sand-
wiches and sleeping in my van
started," the photographer said.
“The publisher gave me complete
freedom to choose places. I made
my own plan. I drove all over Ken-
tucky seeking the ‘best‘ places.
When I found what I wanted but the

light was not good or I needed a dif-
ferent time of a day or season, I
marked that place on my map of the
state, which I always had with me,
and came there later."

Ilalf of his pictures were taken on
these return trips, the photographer
said.

That‘s how Archambeault contin-
ues to work: spending long hours of
driving, chasing the “right" place at
the “right" time.

“If I spend 14 hours driving and
taking pictures and have just one
good image out of it, I am happy."
Archambeault said.

Asked how to become a good
photographer, he said: “Shoot.
shoot and shoot. There is not a sub-
stitute for shooting. You can not
take pictures sitting on your couch.

“I threw a lot of film in my trash
basket, and that was my tuition.“
