Health care bill faces new foe BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer
Health care reform may now be the law of the land, but more than a dozen states aren’t willing to give up the fight just yet. Five members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation sent a letter to attorney general Roy Cooper on Wednesday asking him to join 14 other states who are challenging the constitutionality of the new health care reform bill President Barack Obama signed into law
Find more on the impact of the Health Care Reform Bill in Saturday’s Times. earlier in the week. Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC) is joined by representatives Virginia Foxx, Walter Jones, Patrick McHenry and Sue Myrick in supporting legal action against the new bill. “We think it is important to have Attorney General Cooper join this effort,” Coble said in a press release. “This new law appears to be unconstitutional in
our opinions, and we think the courts will concur. We do not think North Carolina should stand on the sidelines while other states pursue this legal challenge.” North Carolina joins Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alabama, Nebraska, Utah, Oklahoma, Virginia, Missouri, Idaho and Washington as states who feel the new health care bill will hurt small business, job creation and families as costs rise over the next 10 years.
“The Constitution gives the federal government the authority to regulate interstate commerce, but this legislation goes far beyond that power,” the letter states. “An individual is not engaged in interstate commerce if he decides not to purchase the insurance, and compelling him to make such a purchase is beyond the bounds of the interstate commerce clause.” At the core of the opposition is whether or not the federal gov-

In a continued effort to spur economic development in the area, the Davidson County Board of Commissioners approved the incentive package for Project Combined, an unidentified company that is considering setting up business in Lexington. The county has been working with the company on a weekly basis for the past six months. Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Economic Commission, said the company will commit to an investment of $3 million — down from the original $5 million — and create about 150 jobs. “The project will stimulate the economy, increase the county tax base and thus increase tax revenues,” Googe said.

LIVING HISTORY
When new Thomasville Chief of Police Jeff Insley came to town last August he was like a rider in the night. No one knew much about him and he was coming to a police department where changes at the top happened about once a decade and usually involved someone from within moving up the ladder. In other words, Insley was an outsider. Eight months later, Insley is settling in as chief of police and his “weird” ways of doing things are ushering Thomasville Police Department towards a new era of openness, wellness and accessibility. “It’s an adjustment period,” Insley said. “I did not come up through the ranks here and officers didn’t know me. They had to get a feel for me and my particular style. I’m a little different and it’s something to get used to. I’ve been very pleased with the reception and the willingness of the guys to give me and the direction we’re going a chance.” If Insley has been doing anything during

County to apply for transportation grant BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
The Davidson County Board of Commissioners approved a Community Transportation Grant application for administrative reimbursements to the Davidson County Transportation Department. The grant would essentially cover the current administrative expenses of the system, including the salaries of the staff, administrative supplies, vehicle insurance, phones and office supplies, says Transportation Manager George Hodges. The state would provide about $210,000 and the county would match 15 percent, or around $32,522. At the meeting’s public hearing, citizens who use the current County-

that live alone, that are handicapped, that are entirely dependent on the county transportation.” Other individuals who use the service to get meals at the Denton Nutrition Site told commissioners how the system helped them get the food they need. “I would be at home without a way to go to places if I did not have the transportation,” said Marie Myers. Myers also says that the transportation has provided a sense of community she wouldn’t otherwise have. “We have such great fellowship that we would miss if we had to stay at home and not see one another,” she said. The grant will also help cover an in-

Living History Fair Grove Elementary wax museum brings characters to life BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer
Lynn Smith stood smiling while Johnny Appleseed introduced himself — then Mia Hamm, then Judy Garland and Pocahontas. Fair Grove Elementary School second graders put on the second annual wax museum presentation Wednesday in the school gym from 9 to 11:30 a.m. as part of the class’ biographical study unit. Smith, a first grade teacher at the school, paraded around the gym along with students and parents to admire the second graders’ representations of the historic figures. “I think it’s great,� said Christy Meindl, mother of second grade student Anna, who portrayed Betsy Ross. “My daughter was really excited about it.� The students had spent the six weeks prior to the wax museum researching a historic figure of their choice, both via books and the Internet. Though not limited to people of the past, the children were told to pick characters that would be remembered 100 years from now, and teachers encouraged them to elect American heroes. After completing the research, students created a poster to display basic information about their chosen figure and put together a costume to wear during the wax museum presentation. Spectators walked around the gym, looking at the 90-some stoic second graders. Each visitor had buttons that he or she could place in the paper bowl in front of the students, causing the child to come to life and recite a few sentences about the chosen character. “They’ve really all been on their best behav-
TIMES STAFF REPORT
Pieces of art by two Davidson County Community College students were recently selected for inclusion in the North Carolina Community Colleges Art Exhibit in Raleigh to be displayed later this spring through December 2010. A painting by Barbara Hustler of Thomasville and a still life drawing by Brandi Hunt of Archdale are among those to be featured at the show in the Caswell Building on West Jones Street in Raleigh, home of the North Carolina Community College System Office. The Visual Art Exchange will work with the N.C. Community College System staff to select art that will receive additional recognition with winners announced in April. The large exhibit will be viewed on the six public floors of the Caswell Building. DCCC Art Instructor Carl Statley describes Barbara Hustler as a “retired Marine and a voracious painter with a genuine passion for art and painting.â€? Her painting style is detailed-oriented, and she uses watercolors, pen and ink and acrylics to depict her images. The piece she submitted for the art exhibit in Raleigh shows a local tobacco barn, a symbol of North Carolina’s history and a lifestyle that is slowly fading into the past. “The contrast between the dry, gray, weathered wood of the barn against the lush green field and trees in the TIMES PHOTO/ERIN WILTGEN background speaks volumes about life in our state,â€? said Shatley.

Grover Cleveland was President when the main procedure used in my profession was discovered. You may think that’s a bit antiquated, but why change something that has such a dramatic success rate and has been getting sick and hurting people well since 1895? People are often impressed with highly sophisticated, “cutting edgeâ€? therapies and drugs; that kind of thing certainly gets attention. But, in my ofďŹ ce, I’m not going to try to impress you with fancy technology. However, you’re likely to be even more impressed with the results you may get. It’s results that count. Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. The people that often come to see me have been everywhere else ďŹ rst, and wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Often, they may have been subjected to medications that may have only served to temporarily mask symptoms. That’s not what most people are looking for. Before I go on and tell you more, let me tell you something about me. Years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Twenty years ago I started college, but I was overwhelmed by intense migraine headaches that were getting worse. They made it nearly impossible to study. The medical doctors just gave me pills and said it would go away, but they didn’t. In my case they came on slowly, over years, but they worsened to the point where I could barely function. Most of my time was spent lying down in a dark room, taking handfuls of painkillers. I felt like giving up. A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some ďŹ lms, and then adjusted my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I ďŹ nally felt like myself again. It felt great to throw away that bottle of pills. In fact, it worked so well that not only did I ďŹ nish college but I went on to chiropractic school myself. For the last ten years, people from Thomasville and the surrounding area have come to see me with their headache problems. They also come to me with their: s #ARPAL 4UNNEL s -IGRAINES s .ECK 0AIN s 3HOULDER !RM 0AIN

As misunderstood as it is, the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed THAT OVER OF PATIENTS WHO SAW A CHIROPRACtor were satisďŹ ed with their results. That’s just incredible! Tens of millions of Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their beneďŹ ts are greatly reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in.

There is nothing like a beautiful spring day to bring out the housecleaner in even the most reluctant of us. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not quite so motivated as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be, perhaps todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reader tips will get you going! SPRING-CLEANING Last year, I found a gorgeous Michael Kors white nylon and leather handbag at T.J. Maxx for an unbelievable price. I gleefully bought it and used it. At the end of the season, I was perplexed about cleaning it. The nylon turned yellow with spot cleaning, and my dry cleaner wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch it. I sprayed the really dirty edges with spot cleaner, popped it into a lingerie bag and put it through my washing machine on the gentle cycle in cold water with normal laundry detergent. I was amazed that the bag came out sparkling white and clean. The leather was unscathed, and the brass fittings looked brandnew and shiny! I stuffed it with cotton towels and set it out in the sunshine to dry, and now I have a clean Michael Kors spring handbag! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Karen C., Tennessee DOUBLE-DUTY DAWN. I love your reader tips and thought I would let you know that the tip from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cheapskate Solutionsâ&#x20AC;? booklet regarding using vinegar and Dawn dish soap as a shower cleaner works great. As a bonus, that
same mixture is also a fabulous spot remover on clothes. It removed red sauce and chocolate stains that had been through the washer and dryer. I love it! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stace H., New Hampshire PASTA PLUMBER. Whenever I cook pasta, instead of draining the hot water down the kitchen sink, I pour the nearly boiling water down one of my bathroom drains. Gunky toothpaste, soap and shampoo melt and wash away. I rarely need to use harsh drain-cleaning products, and I never have had to call a plumber. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barb R., New York SHOWER BATH. I recently discovered that you can put a plastic shower curtain through the laundry to get rid of the film and gunk at the bottom. For me, a little OxiClean in cold water does the trick very nicely. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lynne W., Minnesota SHINY STEEL. A little olive oil rubbed into a stainless steel sink makes it shine. However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discovered that a cheap brand of baby oil does the job, as well. After I apply it, I rub the steel down thoroughly with a soft cloth. I owned a full-line retail bakery for almost 15 years, and this method kept all my stainless steel appliances looking like new more than a decade later. Any â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyday cheapskateâ&#x20AC;? knows that a bottle of generic baby oil is a lot cheaper than a good bottle of olive oil. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eunice A., e-mail

The mandate and mug clause VIEWPOINT
DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist What does it say about your cause that nearly every policy idea you cook up is based in some form or another on coercing the American people? When House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., was asked recently to identify where the Constitution grants Congress the authority to force all Americans to buy health insurance, he replied, “Under several clauses, the good and welfare clause and a couple others.” For those of you who aren’t familiar with the “good and welfare” clause, it states, “The Congress shall have Power to make Citizens of each State compelled to partake of the Privileges of Health Care Insurance, & those who refuse will be fined, charged with a misdemeanor Crime or lashed (or receive Medicaid).” Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I was somewhat surprised to discover that the Constitution features a “good and welfare” clause — though obviously, Washington has done a laudable job fulfilling the latter part of this imaginary passage. (We’d be better off mandating that elected officials own copies of the Constitution.) It has, actually, been widely speculated that Conyers, a lawyer, was referring to the general welfare clause, which gives Congress the authority to tax and spend to promote the general welfare. The other “clauses” he mentions are likely the longabused commerce clause, which gives Congress the power to “regulate Commerce ... among the several States.” Attorneys general from 14 states and other state legislatures disagree with Conyers and already have mounted legal challenges to the constitutionality of individual mandates. Few people believe they will be successful in their admirable cause. As a layman, I have little business wading into the
intricacies of constitutional law — though, in my limited understanding of this nation’s founding tenets, (SET ITAL) forcing (END ITAL) patriots to buy something in the private market seems to undermine the entire point of the project. Judging from the celebratory mood of the Democrats, who shrug off questions of constitutionality and individual rights, my reading of history is obviously way off the mark. Surely it is inarguable that the debate over a national mandate epitomizes the central ideological divide in the country today. In broad terms, there is one side that believes liberty can be subverted for the collective good because government often makes more efficient and more moral choices. Then there is the other side, which believes that people who believe such twaddle are seditious pinkos. And judging from nearly every poll, the majority of Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama and his defining legislation. Whether they understand the mugging of freedoms in legal terms or in intellectual terms or only in intuitive ones doesn’t matter. Richard M. Esenberg, professor of law at Marquette University, explained the consequences of Obamacare like this: “If Congress can require you to buy health insurance because of the ways in which your uncovered existence (affects) interstate commerce or because it can tax you in an effort to force you to do (any) old thing it wants you to, it is hard to see what — save some other constitutional restriction — it cannot require you to do — or prohibit you from doing.” Come to think of it, I have a great idea: For the common good, everyone should be mandated to purchase a newspaper each day. (Thomas Jefferson understood that democracy suffers without a newspaper.) But you won’t be able to purchase just any newspaper — only the local one — as we will eliminate the national market. Hey, why not?
Guts and glory VIEWPOINT
SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist No Republicans supported Medicare in the House of Representatives until it reached the floor. It came out of the House Ways and Means and Rules committees on strict party-line votes. On the procedural vote that brought Medicare to a vote, exactly 10 Republicans voted for the bill. Only when it was clear that Democrats had the votes did it become a “bipartisan” bill, passing with the support of 70 Republicans and 237 Democrats. In the Senate, 13 Republicans voted for Medicare; the rest of the votes came from Democrats. Today, Medicare is the “third rail” in American politics. Republicans were, in a word, wrong — wrong on the policy and wrong on the politics. They remained the minority party in the House for the next three decades. Could the same thing happen with President Obama’s health care reform bill? I think it could. Everyone has been fixated on the risks to Democrats — whether or not it’s good politics, whether they will pay in November. The political calculations tend to turn on which changes go into effect first and whether people will see benefits — or costs — by the time they vote in November.
Will parents who can keep their kids on their health insurance until they are 26 (a biggie for the middle class) reward the president? What about the fact that kids can’t be excluded for pre-existing conditions? Those changes will happen quickly, while the additional taxes on the wealthiest Americans will not go into effect until 2014. Will the president be blamed for higher premiums that were escalating before the bill’s passage, or will Democrats get credit for new incentives for small businesses to provide coverage? Time will tell. But those are not the only factors to be considered. There is, first of all, the question of conviction. I’m not an expert on health care policy. I didn’t support Obama in the primaries. I’m as worried as the next person about how we’re going to pay for it. But there is something I do understand and respect, and that is principle and courage in politics. Obama and Nancy Pelosi have earned my respect and, I suspect, the respect of many others for displaying precisely those qualities under enormous fire. Against the loud voices of naysayers, against the drumbeat of polls, they did what they set out to do. People say they want politicians to have the courage of their convictions, until they do. Pundits criticize political leaders for living by the polls, until they don’t. Obama ran for president on the promise to enact comprehensive health care reform, and then he risked his presidency to do just that. Pelosi never backed down. Sure, there were backroom deals and promises and compromises. Politics was
played in Washington. In Las Vegas, they still gamble. But at the end of the day, the sausage was made, as promised. Whether or not you support this president and this bill, you have to admire the guts and determination of this president and this speaker. The president showed guts. In my book, he deserves the glory. Republicans showed no guts. Not a single Republican has had the courage to cross the aisle. Not a single Republican has been willing to do anything but “just say no.” “No” is not the answer to the health care crisis. “No” will not help parents of sick children; or parents of unemployed 20-somethings; or middle-class folks who can’t find the good jobs that bring health insurance and can’t afford the astronomical rates found in the individual market even for those without pre-existing conditions. Republicans took the easy way out, as they continue to do this week, playing procedural games in the hopes of accomplishing exactly nothing. As Democrats have scrambled to fix the bill, to meet objections, to compromise even on issues many of us hold near and dear (abortion, the public option, etc.), Republicans have been willing to compromise on nothing. And for this they expect to be rewarded by voters? I wouldn’t be so sure. No guts, no glory. As for me, I’ll take a party of conviction and courage over a bunch of naysayers and do-nothings any day.

FOE From page 1 ernment has the right to mandate states on how to provide health insurance. Currently, North Carolina already has a system for providing coverage to those who either have a pre-existing condition or have been displaced from their job. The Inclusive Health Plan, also known as the North Carolina Insurance Risk Pool, was implemented last January and received a $1.5 million federal grant in November to make it even more affordable. The plan offers affordable coverage to people with pre-existing conditions that renders them uninsurable and covers such illnesses as Leukemia and AIDS. The plan also
FROM PAGE 1 covers those who don’t receive COBRA benefits from their previous employers. In order to be eligible, a person must be a resident of North Carolina, must not be eligible for Medicaid or Medicare, as well as a health plan through a spouse’s job and can’t be covered as a dependent on another health insurance plan. “People have concerns when it comes to forcing them to purchase an approved product by the federal government,” said Aaron Groen, spokesperson for Virginia Foxx. “One of the things this bill does is assumes that it’s the government way or the highway. It tramples on the rights of individual states to set policies about what kind of health care is offered to its citizens.” Coverage rates for the Inclusive

crease in the transportation service from three days a week to seven days a week, allowing residents to get to the nutrition site each week day. “Without our bus people, about half of our group would be gone, they could not get there,” said Denton Nutrition Site Manager Linda Skeen. “We appreciate the fact that they are allowed to come because they have transportation to get there five days a week.” The citizens also asked the board to continue to enhance county transportation, as the current system currently runs on a call-in basis almost like a taxi service as opposed to a fixed-stop bus route. “Right now, basically, when someone calls and requests transportation, we’re curb-to-curb,” Hodges said. “We pick them up and transport them to where they need to go.” And enhancing the transportation system is definitely within the county’s plans. “It’s been my experience that the Transportation Department is always looking for ways to serve more people,” Commissioner Fred McClure said. In fact, Commissioner Don Truell already has begun working with the Transportation Department and other county groups to install designated stop bus routes in Thomasville and, eventually, Lexington, possibly stretching out into more rural parts of the county such as Denton. “We’re trying to move to fixed routes where if a person wants to go to the grocery store she can look and tell what time that bus will be by her house and what time it will be at the grocery store,” Truell said. Though still in the planning stages, the fixed routes system will start in Thomasville, providing one consistent route that can circle the city in about 32 minutes. Truell wants to fashion the route to pass by major points such as grocery stores, doctors’ offices and senior service facilities. He also hopes to connect the Thomasville bus with the PART system that busses to other counties, such as Forsyth. High Point already has purchased the bus – since Thomasville is considered an urban area of the larger city – as well as three bus shelters and signage. And while the Department of Transportation still has a lot of loose ends to tie up, Truell is still hopeful that they can implement the plan by the fall. “I think we’re going to see this year that we’re going to enhance these services for the seniors and for all of us,” Truell said. “These people have paid taxes for years and years and years. It’s time for us to give them something to get by, and this is one way to do it.”

OBITUARIES Health Plan are based on gender, age and tobacco use, and are updated annually. A person can not be turned down or have a premium increased based on a medical condition or pre-existing condition. Now that the new health care reform bill is law, whether or not this program will be available in the future is up in the air. “That’s the $10 million question,” Nancy Ziarko, eligibility analyst with Core Source, a company that oversees the plan, said. “I wish I had the answer. What we offer is insurance coverage of the last resort to people who, through no fault of their of their own, aren’t eligible anywhere else.” Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578.

BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor WALLBURG — The Ledford baseball team held an impromptu walk-a-thon Wednesday afternoon at Gary Hinkle Field, sponsored by the visiting Lexington Yellow Jackets. All LHS had to do was stand with the bat in hand for much of the day, as Lexington walked 11 batters. Nine of the free passes came in a 10-run second inning, letting the Panthers breeze to a 12-1 victory in a fiveinning shortened game. “We want to treat every opponent the same, and I think we came out tonight not as intense as we were yesterday,” said coach Kemp Smith. “We are happy to get a win, though, and we can get some things out of it and hopefully be ready to play Southwestern Randolph Friday.” Lexington was prepared to give the Panthers a game in the first inning, scoring a run on consecutive hits, but the Panthers brought two across in the bottom half and never trailed after that. Singles by Jonathan Reid and Jonathan Shelton accounted for the first two runs. After Brock Phillips struck out the side in the second, the Panthers just simply grabbed a bat and waltzed around the base paths. Josh Kearns got the only hit of the inning leading off with a double, but it was all walks or hit batsmen after that. Lexington starter Dmitri Gillmore is one of the top players the Jackets have, but he could not find the zone issuing four straight free passes that allowed three Panthers to score. A hit batsman brought the fourth runner in, before Gillmore finally recorded an out with a strikeout. He went back to his walking ways a batter later, and was pulled for Robbie Curry. That did not help the cause, as Curry walked four more and hit another to make it a 12-1 Panther lead. Sixteen batters visited the dish in the frame. Phillips pitched the third inning and Da-

more than the Jackets did, meaning Ledford will have to regain its intensity. “They always have some players and it should be a good test for us,” said Smith. “I am anxious to see how we come out.”

Duke big men make impact BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski isn’t big on remembering specific dates, but he can recount the day he changed his big-man rotation, with his 63rd birthday serving as a reference point. It’s been a gift that keeps on giving. On Feb. 13 against Maryland, Krzyzewski put Brian Zoubek in the starting spot previously occupied by sophomore Miles Plumlee, and
Zoubek responded with a 16-point, 17-rebound performance in Duke’s 77-56 victory. That marked the birth of the big four that perfectly complement the Blue Devils’ big three scorers on the perimeter. “ We ’ v e got a chance to play in the Sweet 16, and a lot of it has to do with the big guys and how they’ve embraced their roles,” said Krzyzewski, whose top-
seeded Blue Devils will take on No. 4 seed Purdue in the South Region semifinals Friday (9:57 p.m., WRAL). “I just thought we needed a more experienced team to start out, and it just worked a little bit better. “Not that before it wasn’t working, but it worked a little bit better.” Zoubek had been the biggest beneficiary individually, but it’s been a victory for the entire team.

The term “March Madness” has been around for awhile, but I have never fully understood and appreciated its meaning until this season. Never has there been more madness in the NCAA Tournament than what has taken place the last week. Sure, there are some memorable runs that we remember fondly, like Valparaiso in 1998 when Bryce Drew hit a miracle shot as time expired, or George Mason’s march to the Final Four in 2006. But this season has been ridiculously special, and we are only at the Sweet 16. I’ll start with No. 12 seed Cornell. An Ivy League team I am sure very few took a chance on in, but two games later, they are still alive. Decisive wins over Temple and Wisconsin have this team dancing to Syracuse, N.Y., where a date with Kentucky takes place tonight. In the South Region, a team from California named St. Mary’s (No. 10 seed) is wreaking havoc on the nation’s elite. After dispatching Richmond in Round 1, Villanova got a dose of what the Gaels are capable of, and were introduced to big-man Omar Samhan, who just happened to save his career game for the biggest stage dropping in 32 points. Last, the most mindboggling storyline thus far, and a game that sure-

ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor ly sent brackets across the nation spiraling out of control. Though a respectable No. 9 seed, Northern Iowa had a program-defining moment, shocking overall No. 1 seed Kansas 69-67 to reach the Sweet 16. Much like Drew, the name Ali Forokhmanesh will be one that is remembered for years to come when talking about the NCAA tournament. His “no, don’t take that shot — yes!” 3-pointer in the final seconds helped seal the deal for the Panthers. My bracket is in shambles right now, but the events that made it that way have made me realize some changes I need to make before selecting my picks. An avid fan of college sports, I am fairly familiar with teams and their players. When filling out a bracket, I do not do much research, because there is usually only one unknown team

UNC takes part in Pro Timing Day for NFL scouts BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The atmosphere at North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pro Timing Day was more subdued on Tuesday than it was a year ago when firstround draft pick Hakeem Nicks worked out for NFL scouts. And it likely was quieter than it will be a year from now when at least five defensive player could be taken in the first couple of rounds. But 14 recent UNC players still jumped, did bench presses and ran in hopes of improving their
chances of playing in the NFL. The three-day draft kicks off April 22, although no UNC player is likely to hear his name called until April 23 when the second and third rounds take place. Defensive lineman Cam Thomas is expected to be the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first player drafted, as he has been projected to go as early as in the second round. Thomas (6-3, 325) was a three-year starter for UNC and had 2.5 tackles for loss and one

From page 7 that makes a serious run. Picking the higher seeds is usually a safe bet in the first round, except for some of the closer seeded games where the lower seed could easily knock off the better seed. Not any more. There is so much parity in college basketball, and the talent available has gotten larger. The top-ranked players get the recognition, but some of the lesser known players are about as good. Here is where the lower-rated players make up the difference and are able to pull the upsets like they do. Five-star players at bigtime universities have their sights set on the

NBA, and some of them make the jump in one or two years. That forces the coaches to go back out and recruit new players to fill in the holes. These so-called Mid-Major colleges get the two and three star players, who will likely stick around for all four years. If one of these schools have four or five good players come in at the same time, by the time they graduate, they have great chemistry and are capable of such upsets. I believe the events of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament is going to be the norm, so when filling out your bracket in the future, you might want to see what these â&#x20AC;&#x153;MidMajorsâ&#x20AC;? are all about.

SPORTS AREA SPORTS BRIEFS SOFTBALL Eagles blank Trinity East Davidson stayed hot by trouncing Trinity 14-0 in five innings on Wednesday. Spencer Embler got the win on the mound and went 4-for-4 at the plate with four RBIs. Miranda Mullins added two hits and two RBIs, while Addie Chaney and Caroline Fowler each added two hits and an RBI. East, 5-1, hosts Lexington today.
Ledford shuts out NEG Kristen Murphy fired a two-hitter striking out seven as Ledford buried Northeast Guilford 11-0 Tuesday on the road. Jen Stilley had four hits, four runs scored and three RBIs, Meg Everhart three hits and four RBIs, Brittany Williams two hits and Deanna Crayton two hits.
East JVs edge Panthers East Davidson’s junior varsity nipped Ledford 32 on Wednesday. Hayley Ray struck out seven for the win. Alyssa Harvell went 2-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored.
IMPACT From page 7 The Blue Devils now start seniors Zoubek and Lance Thomas before subbing in brothers Miles and Mason Plumlee, who didn’t often see the floor at the same time before the switch. The post quartet has combined to produce about the same number of points (690) and rebounds (716) over the course of the season, combining to put up about 39 points and rebounds per game. But even with Duke well below its season scoring average in its two NCAA Tournament victories, they combined for 51 points and rebounds against California and 48 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. “The performance in the Cal game was something real satisfying,” said Zoubek, who scored 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds against the Bears. “We’ve worked so hard together in practice. “To see all four of us come up big and make big plays and finish, and to do all the little things we’ve worked on all year, it’s a good feeling.” Purdue certainly has noticed. The Boilermakers, who feature four guards around talented center JaJuan Johnson now that forward Robbie Hummel is out with a knee injury, were outrebounded by 20 by a lessimpressive Duke front line in the Blue Devils’ 76-60 victory at Purdue early in the 2008-09 season. “They really come at you with a lot of different size,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said. “Zoubek has been great for them, and that’s what you’re supposed to do as a senior — you’re supposed to play that way. “He’s playing physical; he’s playing hard. He’s playing like a senior.” Zoubek started his meteoric rise against Maryland but didn’t stop there, averaging 6.4 points and 9.3 rebounds since entering the starting lineup.
East is 3-1.
TENNIS Ledford loses first match The Panthers fell to Southwest Guilford 7-2 on Monday for its first loss of the season. Winners for Ledford were Landon Rogers (104) and Thomas Edwards (10-7). LHS is now 8-1.
BASKETBALL DCCC offers camp Davidson County Community College will conduct a camp June 28-July 2 for players grades 4-12. The camp will run each day from 8:30 a.m.-noon. The goal of the camp is to give campers instruction in the fundamentals of basketball as well as emphasize team play and sportsmanship. Campers will be divided into groups based on age and ability level. Instruction will be provided by members of DCCC coaching staff, players and other area coaches. Cost is $75 per camper. Make checks payable to DCCC, P.O. Box 1287, Lexington, N.C. 27293. Please mark the bottom left corner ‘basketball camp.’
Off the bench, he averaged 5.1 points and 6.3 rebounds. “The Maryland game obviously was a good game and it felt great, but I didn’t want that to be the only game that I really produced,” Zoubek said. “I am helping my team win, and that’s the best feeling about me playing well. “It’s the first time I’ve had it. It’s unbelievable.” Zoubek, however, is just a part of the new equation. Whereas the previous mix of a senior and Plumlee at the same time gave opponents close to the same look most of the time, the seniors together and the Plumlees together have created more of a challenge. “They have to adjust each time a different pair is in,” Duke guard Nolan Smith said. “When Miles and Mason come in, we can run a lot more, we can throw lobs. With Brian and Lance, it’s more about hitting them when they’re on the ground. They’re great screeners, and Miles and Mason are great rim-runners. “Both of them bring something different, and it really throws off other teams’ defenses.” And in Zoubek’s mind, the more the opposition has to worry about Duke’s post players, the more likely the Blue Devils will keep advancing. “Our three outside players, they’re hard enough to prepare for, and then to add two more players into the mix, it becomes even more difficult,” he said. “I think that’s really important in the NCAA Tournament where you only have a limited time to prepare.” Notes: Kyle Singler, Duke’s leading NCAA Tournament scorer with 39 points, took an elbow from Andre Dawkins near his right eye in practice Tuesday that required six stitches. Krzyzewski said Singler would be fine. ... An iPhone App featuring Krzyzewski was launched Tuesday at www.coachkapp.com, a game that takes players through challenges in New York, China and

The first level is free, but Smith said he bought the other two when he came across it. “I saw Coach K and I thought, ‘There’s only one Coach K.’ I can’t wait to see what it is,” Smith said. Zoubek didn’t have quite the same reaction. “I’m not going to pay for that one,” he said jokingly.

When the Earth Blows Its Top
Supervolcanoes!
Magma collects in roomlike areas, or chambers, under the surface of the Earth. It escapes through openings in the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface, becoming lava. But sometimes, if magma is especially thick, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape a bit at a time. Pressure builds up, and it explodes.
In 1980, a volcano that had been dormant, or sleeping, for 123 years erupted in Washington state. When this volcano, Mount St. Helens, erupted, it sent out clouds of ash. Mount St. Helens was much smaller than a supervolcano. Volcanic ash is very dangerous. It is made of tiny bits of sharp, jagged rock and glass. When people and animals breathe it in, it can cause severe breathing problems and even death. Ash can kill crops. Mount St. Helensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; swirling ash caused lightning and forest fires. When Mount St. Helens exploded, the ash also damaged electronics and machinery. The hot ash coated jet engines, melting some of the parts.

Can you imagine anything in nature so big that it could change the climate and destroy plants and animals over much of the planet? Try to picture a supervolcano â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a volcano so huge it could remake the world. Supervolcanoes are the most powerful volcanoes on Earth. Amazingly, three supervolcanoes have erupted in the area of Yellowstone National Park in the western United States. The Mini Page talked to a volcano scientist to explore more about supervolcanoes. Experts say we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry about supervolcanoes. One erupts less than every 100,000 years or so.

What is a supervolcano?
Rocking the world
The power of a volcano is measured by how much magma and ash it produces. A supervolcano is the biggest, most destructive volcano. Even the smallest supervolcano would produce enough lava to cover Texas in a layer as tall as an average 8-year-old. That one explosion would produce enough lava and rocks to fill about 240 cubic miles, or a cube 240 miles on each side and 240 miles deep. Supervolcanoes are exploding volcanoes. They are not the volcanoes where lava flows out more slowly.
A supervolcano eruption would change the climate all over the world. It would shoot out an enormous burst of ash and lava, like a firehose shooting miles into the sky. The ash would then move like a cloud across the sky, blanketing the land and blocking out the sun. A supervolcano could cause freezing conditions for years all over the world, even in the tropics. Plants and animals would die, and there would not be enough food. The last supervolcano was in Indonesia about 74,000 years ago. Experts believe it caused so much climate change and other damage, it killed most of the people on Earth. (UMAN $.! STUDIES BACK THIS up. When scientists trace differences IN $.! IT APPEARS THAT ALL MODERN humans descended from a group of a few thousand people living about 70,000 years ago. These people might have been the only ones who survived the effects of the supervolcano.

Volcanoes at Yellowstone Supervolcano sites are all over the Earth. Three of the biggest supervolcanoes ever to have erupted were in the area of Yellowstone National Park. The first, and largest, erupted 2.1 million years ago. This supervolcano was about 2,500 times bigger than Mount St. Helens. Its explosion created enough magma to fill 585 cubic miles. This is about 6,000 times greater than the amount produced by Mount St. Helens. So much magma burst out so quickly that the ground caved in, sucking in mountains and everything else around.

I feel like I did pretty good, but they don’t really tell us what’s going on so I guess we’ll find out.” Thomas said he felt he did better than at the combine in Indianapolis at the end of February, but he is trying not to get caught up in the hype. “I’m just working hard each and every day, and when April comes, that’s when we’ll find out,” Thomas said. “Ever since you were little, you dream about this and I’m actually here now, so it’s a blessing.” Thomas was not the only defensive lineman working out, as Aleric Mullins and E.J. Wilson also took part in drills. Both also were at the combine, although Wilson did not participate because of swelling in his right knee. Wilson, a three-year starter, said he thinks he impressed scouts with athleticism and movement after putting on 16 pounds since the end of the season because he wants to be able to play any position on the defensive line. “I prefer to play for any team that is going to play me and give me a chance to show what I can do and play the game,” Wilson said. “I have no preference. All 32 teams are my favorite teams right now.” Two offensive lineman — combine participant Kyle Jolly and former Riverside standout Lowell Dyer — were among the other Tar Heels who worked out for scouts. Dyer (6-4, 295) also took some snaps in hopes of being picked up as a long snapper and said he was happy with his workout, although he was a little nervous and had trouble sleeping the night before.
“Coming in here, I was pumped,” Dyer said. “It’s kind of the cattle show at the beginning where you’ve got to strip down basically and walk around, but it was great. Once you got into the flow, everything went really smooth.” Dyer said he met most all of his expectations, including a 5.06 in the 40yard dash, and now he gets to spend the next month waiting to see if he gets a phone call from an NFL team. “It’s just a great opportunity,” Dyer said. “It’s one of those things you dream about growing up and now here you are on the cusp of it. It’s surreal in a way, but it is one of those things you want to take advantage of and you work hard.”
Duke pro day UNC’s pro day came on the heels of workouts at Duke on Monday. NFL combine participants Thad Lewis at quarterback and Vince Oghobaase on the defensive line got a second chance in front of scouts, while others got their first and perhaps only shot. Among the first-timers, linebacker Vincent Rey left quite an impression according to Noel Durfey, the Blue Devils’ strength and conditioning coach. “Vinnie helped himself,” Durfey said. “Most of what the scouts look at is in the film room, watching these guys playing football on game tapes. That gives them a pretty good idea, but then a guy like Vinnie Rey can go out and have a great day, and then they’ll go back in and watch more film on him.” Durfey, who has been helping players get ready for pro day since 2001 at Ole Miss, worked with Rey, defensive linemen Ayanga Okpokowuruk and cornerback Leon Wright leading up to Monday’s big moment. He said they all acquitted themselves well. “We tell the guys that they’re going to run faster and jump higher than they ever have in their life if they channel the adrenaline and channel it right,” Durfey said. “That’s what they did. “We try to get them to just enjoy the day, because not everybody gets the opportunity to do this.”
Draughn looking good early on for UNC BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald Sun CHAPEL HILL — When North Carolina running back Shaun Draughn fractured his left shoulder on the first play of the Tar Heels’ 2009 victory over Duke last year and was lost for the final four games of the season, he obviously was upset and disappointed. But after talking with Andre Williams, UNC’s director of football student-athlete development whose career as a running back was cut short by a back injury in 2003, Draughn realized he was lucky. “He was like, ‘It could be worse,’ “ said Draughn, who never had been injured before. “That’s how I looked at it; it could be worse.” And with his shoulder feeling like new, the rising senior said he is just thankful to be back on the field for the Tar Heels this spring and trying to earn back his starting spot from Ryan Houston, who became the primary back. Draughn said he is more than ready to step back into his old role and has been practicing with the first team so far. “Just to get back out there is real fun for me,” Draughn said. “I thank God every day I can get back out there and just be out there.” Draughn said it was heartbreaking when he realized his season was over, but it was even more difficult because he got injured when things seemed to finally be clicking for UNC’s struggling offensive line. The Tar Heels had failed to put together a consistent running attack during an 0-3 start in the ACC, but the week before his injury Draughn had rushed for 77 yards in a surprising win over No. 14 Virginia
Tech in Blacksburg, Va. “I know we had some ups and downs on the Oline, but they just seemed to start getting it right, so I was excited [for the Duke game],” Draughn said. “That first play I was like, ‘Oh yeah, 9 yards already.’ It was definitely hard to take everything in, especially at that time.” Draughn said he did not immediately realize something was wrong with his shoulder and thought he might be able to go back into the game,
but then the pain came. “When I was about to hit the sideline, I thought I was gone and then I saw [the defender] at the last minute and I dipped my shoulder and he hit me on the right spot at the right time, so it is one of those things,” said Draughn. Draughn said he is 100 percent now and has almost all of his strength back in the shoulder. “I think he’s as big and as strong as he was a year ago, but he looks significantly quicker and faster than he did,” Davis said.

FROM PAGE 1 CHANGES From page 1 his young tenure at TPD it’s implementing change. From the color of the squad cars to a new wellness program, Insley is making his mark, but he’s not doing so with an iron fist. In fact, many of the changes at TPD have come at the recommendation of both veteran officers and the community. That’s how Insley wants it. He doesn’t seek credit for success and he doesn’t point out failure. All he wants is for TPD to be the best possible agency it can be, and for that to happen, he needs input from everyone. “I think it’s important to realize that we’re a team and not an island,” said Insley. “To get things done, you need input from others to know that what you are putting in play is the right thing and it will work for the agency. When you come in from the outside, it’s good to get a feel of where you do need to go and where to concentrate. The staff has been very open in helping us put together a road map to move forward. It has been exciting.” Once Insley got his feet on the ground, they haven’t stopped running yet. In January, Insley restructured TPD, creating four bureaus to handle specific areas of law enforcement, headed by veteran officers who all received promotions. Last month, TPD decided to go back to the black and white paint schemes on its squad cars. The new design came from inside the department as several officers developed a design that was put to vote within TPD. On March 15, Insley redistricted Thomasville into three districts from the former six-district system with the intent of making TPD more accessible to the public. TPD also releases

monthly reports, detailing both calls for service in the community and how particular problems are being addressed. “Having known him for just a short time, I find Chief Insley to be very innovative and he thinks outside the box,” Maj. James Mills said. “He’s big on building this department into an agency everyone can be proud of, including the citizens of Thomasville. The morale of the officers has notably increased and
they feel like they’re empowered to go out and do their jobs. “I equate it to a jigsaw puzzle — he’s the piece that was missing. Now it seems like the puzzle is all put together and we can see the picture clearly. We know that he’s moving in a northern direction and he has good plans for the department and the citizens.” Insley isn’t just concerned about how his officers feel professionally, he’s also concerned
about them physically. As a man who has battled some heart issues, Insley is well aware of the importance of good health. He plans on implementing a wellness policy at TPD by seeking grants for a lunch and learn program bringing in a nutritionist. Being a police officer can be stressful both mentally and physically, and Insley wants his officers to live and healthy life, even after their days of serving the public are over.
“My concern is not to get rid of anyone but to look out for them and to be concerned for their well being,” said Insley. “There are things I’d like to do as an agency to help the officers live a long life and be able to deal with the stress. It doesn’t have to be you go join a weight room or join a gym, but something you can do for yourself.” Insley’s inspiration for change comes from experiencing ideas that worked and some that
