Motion challenges Hege’s re-election bid BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer

LEXINGTON — A handful of concerned voters showed up at Davidson County Board of Elections Wednesday in hopes of getting former sheriff Gerald Hege’s name removed from the ballot for the upcoming May 4 Republican primary. Armed with signed affidavits opposing Hege’s candidacy for sheriff on the basis he is a convicted felon and therefore would be in violation of North Carolina General Statute 14-415.1, Melisia Prout and several of her family members filed a motion that the former sheriff does

County to buy land for new middle, high school

Youth celebrated at The Learning Center Kids enjoy activities during ‘Week of the Young Child’ BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

Sock puppet in hand — or on hand, to be exact — Carlie Hanner sang along to the “ABCs”, “Baa Baa Black Sheep” and “Happy And You Know It”, clapping her hands, stomping her feet, blinking her eyes and giggling with her friends. Her sock puppet mouthed the songs’ lyrics and chimed in when the preschoolers shouted out a “hoorah.” The Learning Place at Thomasville Medical Center continued its celebration of the Week of the Young Child Wednesday afternoon with a puppet show and a day themed “whacky khaki.” Teachers and kids alike wore their hair in multiple pig-

tails, sported knee high socks and wore brightly colored clothes. “The children are very important,” said teacher Sabrina Watts, boasting one braided pigtail and a toe sock. “We want to fill them with different activities and let them have new experiences. They really enjoy it.” The Week of the Young Child is a national celebration of children, families and people who serve young kids. As part of the festivities, The Learning Place held a hay ride, and had various speakers such as firefighters, police officers, a race car driver, a skateboarder, an EMS driver and Sparky the Fire Dog from the fire station. “What we really wanted to do is we asked parents that had a particular job to come in and share what they do with the children,” said Day Care Manager Nancy Hollis. Guests like firefighters and policemen help teach

Staff Writer Stan Bingham stands alone. Not only is he the only North Carolina Senator to represent Davidson County, but he will run unchallenged in the coming election. But despite the easy road to reelection, Bingham — the Republican senator in District 33 — says he still takes his upcoming term seriously. “There are several things that I’ve worked on over the last several years that I haven’t completed,” said the Denton resident. “This will be probably the hardest session that we’ve had because of

Davidson County Board of Commissioners voted to buy land for the construction of a new middle school and high school at its Tuesday night meeting. The 133.1 acres of property, located on Midway School Road, will sell for $2.35 million. Closing on the property will occur on Aug. 31, 2010, or earlier should both parties agree to the date. Commissioners unanimously approved the purchase in a 6-0 vote – Billy Joe Kepley was sick and did not attend. “I always want to thank you for what you do for children in our school system,” said Davidson County Schools Superintendent Fred Mock. “You’ve given us wise council. We think through the process this has come out to be the best property.” The two new schools will alleviate overcrowding issues at North Davidson middle and high school and Ledford middle and high school. “It’s pretty obvious that the over-crowding in North Davidson High School is abundant,” said Robert Bates, chairman of North Davidson High School Advisory Council and North Davidson parent. “It’s gotten so bad that the kids have a hard time moving between classes in a prudent manner.” The high school, which was built for 1,200 students, now has more than 1,600 enrolled, Bates said. Students have difficulty getting to class on

The Senator also has focused efforts on a complex insurance-related bill that he helped to introduce with N.C. Senator Jim Jacumin a few years ago. The bill — Senate bill 308, to be exact — regulates limited liability companies, and since one of Bingham’s constituents got tricked by a man operating such a business in an unethical way, Bingham says he wants to make sure something is done. “I took a personal interest in this,” he said. “I don’t want it to go by the wayside.” Bingham has served in the N. C. Senate since

the children, Hollis said the center celebrates the Week of the Young Child partially to educate others about childcare. “We try to bring awareness to the issues concerning children in the community,” she said. “Why preschool education is important, that kind of thing.” And the kids certainly have fun along the way. Nathan and Kim Key of Arrington Heights Puppet Ministry, the puppeteers for Wednesday’s show, said that enjoyment is part of the reason they perform. Last year was the couple’s debut at the Learning Place. “It’s our passion,” Kim Key said. “When you’re back there and you hear them singing along, it’s an extra motivation.”

2000. He got into politics in 1990 when he ran for the Davidson County Board of Commissioners — the year that 29 candidates ran for the office. “I got an interesting experience in politics when I ran for the first time,” Bingham said. “But I just found that local politics didn’t suit me well.” When Bingham transitioned to the state level, he discovered a much more enjoyable political setting. “The senators I serve with are extremely pleasant to work with,” he said. “There’s not as much pettiness and backstabbing as there is on a local level.” That being said, Bingham still interacts quite a bit with local government officials. He maintains open communication lines through monthly mayor management meetings and frequent phone calls with commissioners and city officials alike. “I find it very rewarding because there are a lot of people that have their hearts in the right place, and they really care about this state,” Bingham said, noting his preference for state-level government. “And you have the opportunity to help a lot of constituents on a variety of issues.”

LAND From page 1 time and don’t have longenough lunch periods because of inadequately sized cafeterias. In fact, at North Davidson Middle School, it takes 40 percent of the school day to feed the entire school, said Wally Decker, chairman of the North Middle School Advisory Council. North Davidson high school and middle school and Ledford high school and middle school all face traffic problems for drop off and pickup, which pose safety hazards. The four schools combined carry a quarter of the students in the entire school system, Decker said. “The bottom line is we need this school,” he said. “It’s an investment in the future of our county.” Not everyone present at the meeting celebrated the possible purchase, however. Jean Leonard, who has lived in a neighborhood near the proposed land for 27 years, expressed concerns over the potential development the new school will bring to the area. “We’ve heard all kinds of rumors, everything from a high school and middle school being built to maybe part of the land being sold for housing developments,” she said. “We’re in a nice quiet area, we always have been. With the sewer systems coming in they can put cluster homes right on top of us. “ Leonard appealed to the commissioners for assurance that the county will keep the purchased land and not sell it for real estate. “I know we need schools, I understand that,” Leonard said. “But we also like

our peace and quiet in the neighborhood we’re in.” Though Chairman Dr. Max Walser said he couldn’t see the land being used for anything else, since he thinks a middle school and high school will take up all of the land once sports facilities are included, he added it was too early in the process to offer any concrete assurance. Political activist Barney Hill also opposed the acquisition of land because it will be paid for by a bond referendum held in an odd year when voter turnout was low and because he said the land could be put to better use. “The highest and best use of this 133.1 acres is the creation of wealth by some profit-making enterprise,” he said. In other news, the commissioners also: • Reset the public hearing on the Community Development Block and Infrastructure Grant for April 22. • Set a public hearing on the hazardous mitigation plan for its May 3 meeting at 7 p.m. • Awarded the contract for the Pilot Community sanitary sewer district sewer repair to H&C Utilities, Inc., for $100,437.93. H&C was the lowest bidder. • Approved the purchase of about 2.11 acres of land on Twin Brook Drive and N.C. Highway 150 North in the northwest part of the county for $27,500 to be used as a new EMS base. The base will serve the Arcadia, Welcome, Midway and Clemmons areas and will make for a more efficient response. Staff Writer Erin Wiltgen can be reached at 8883576 or at newsdesk@tvilletimes.com

A case of miscommunication Commissioner Larry Potts pulled an item out of the consent agenda for discussion at the board’s Tuesday night meeting. The item he wanted to review further addressed the surplus sale of furniture formerly used at Davidson Academy before it the building was purchased by the county. His first point of contention involved the removal of some of the furniture from Davidson Academy before the sale was officially closed. School employees took some of the furniture to the new site at Riverwood Academy. Though County Attorney Chuck Frye said the school had been contacted and the furniture was being returned, Potts said he didn’t understand why the furniture had been removed in the first place. “If I come into your house subsequent to you coming home from the meeting tonight and remove all of your furniture and tell you I’ll drop it off when I get the chance, what would that do?” he said. Potts also pointed out that the individual pieces of furniture – various desks, chairs and tables – were being sold at surplus to Lexington City Schools for only $5. Potts said the county had been reassured that it would be getting really nice furniture with the purchase of Davidson Academy, and the estimated price of said furniture had been a selling point. Instead, the county will sell 200 pieces for a net total of $1,100. “If we put it on the open market, we probably would’ve gotten more money,” said Chairman Dr. Max Walser. “But we first give it to the schools.” Walser said that selling the child-sized furniture to the school system and keeping it in the county serves as an investment. The commissioners voted 5-1 to approve the sale – Potts voted against on principal of the misleading estimate upon the furniture’s original purchase by the county.

Journalism as rubbernecking VIEWPOINT

MONA CHARAEN Syndicated Columnist

As one who does not play or follow golf, and who doesn’t know a birdie from a chickadee, I was pleased to see Phil Mickelson win the Masters. His long embrace of his ailing wife (she has been undergoing treatment for breast cancer) was a moving moment. Above all, it was gratifying to see that, at least this once, as one headline writer summarized it, “The Good Guy Finishes First.” Golf is not synonymous with Tiger Woods. Are you tired of hearing about Tiger? We are drowning in salaciousness and some of us are choking on it. Like geese having our livers prepared for foie gras, we are force-fed a steady diet of infidelity, corruption, theft, drug use, violence, addiction, and sexual misconduct among public figures. Perhaps the goose is luckier. When it gets fat enough, they kill it. We consumers of American media, by contrast, seem to have no escape. Here is just a sampling of the stories we’ve been deluged with in the recent past: Gov. James McGreevey of New Jersey announces that he is gay and resigns amid charges of sexual harassment from a state employee. Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigns after being caught patronizing expensive prostitutes. Mark McGwire acknowledges that his homerun record was achieved by fraud as he used steroids throughout his career. The Mitchell Report names 47 others. Michael Jackson ... well, there’s too much to itemize. Sen. Larry Craig is caught soliciting sex in an airport bathroom. Gov. David Paterson, a few weeks after announcing his plans to run for the seat he inherited from the disgraced Spitzer, withdraws after revelations that he intervened in a domestic violence investigation to protect his employee. Gov. Mark Sanford skips off to Argentina to see his mistress and then tells the world, at eye-glazing length, about his feelings. Michael Vick pleads guilty to animal abuse and serves 23 months. Rep. Charlie Rangel is admonished by the House

Ethics Committee for accepting corporate gifts and steps down as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Further revelations emerge of the sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests in Europe. Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit pleads guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice and no contest to a felony count of assault on a police officer. He further agrees to pay restitution to the city of $1 million, to forfeit his pension and to serve 120 days in prison. Rielle Hunter poses halfnaked for GQ and establishes that she is worthy of her boyfriend, John Edwards, a leading candidate for president in 2008. Mrs. Edwards files for divorce. Rep. Eric Massa resigns after tickle parties on Capitol Hill. Bernard Madoff begins his prison term for conducting the largest Ponzi scheme in history, which bilked thousands of investors, including multiple charities, out of billions of dollars. David Letterman apologizes for ... Sen. David Vitter admits ... Jack Abramoff pleads guilty to ... There comes a point when the sheer volume of scandal coverage becomes unsettling. This is not to suggest that the press ignore these things. Of course not. But let’s face it: Journalists are lazy, and scandal is so easy to cover. The stories practically write themselves. They are simple tales of good and evil, rather than unsatisfying shades of gray. The result is journalism as rubbernecking. And the more lurid the story, the longer we are saturated with it. Being bombarded with stories of misbehavior, betrayal, criminality, and venality of every sort is not just unpleasant, it can be demoralizing. That is, if we begin to think that everybody behaves in the loutish ways some public figures do, we may lose faith in ourselves as a society. In Billy Wilder’s brilliant Cold War movie “One, Two, Three,” a young communist exclaims to an older apparatchik, “Is everybody corrupt?” The old fellow responds, “I don’t know everybody.” Journalists scoff at the idea of reporting “good news” on the grounds that planes landing safely are not news. But stories of extraordinary courage, philanthropy, and kindness are departures from the norm, too. Hearing a bit more about those might restore our equilibrium.

Senate v. The Constitution VIEWPOINT

DAVID HARSANYI Syndicated Columnist With all the praise being heaped on departing Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, a person might have forgotten momentarily that the man spent a good chunk of the past two decades working to soften up the Constitution. Rest assured, his replacement will take to the task capably — empathy above justice, and all that — but what I really look forward to is the confirmation battle because Democrats, according to Politico, plan to turn Senate hearings into a referendum on “corporations vs. the common man.” According to the story, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy’s political strategy will be offered up in a simple question: “Do you share our concern about the fact that the court always seems to side with the big corporate interests against the average American?” One would think that the victor (and to contend that the court “always” sides with big corporate interests is preposterous) would be less significant than the constitutional

merits of the decisions. Then again, ginning up anger about corporations is always a useful distraction, because what Leahy is really asking is this: Do you share our concern that the Constitution, too often interpreted as written, is holding back an empathetic and enlightened progressive agenda? You remember the outrage over Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission? In that case, some “average Americans” decided to produce a political film about Hillary Clinton. It was censored by the FEC because, as everyone knows, the First Amendment should not apply to unsavory characters who’ve gotten themselves mixed up with corporate interests. Lest anyone forget, Stevens — in a spirited dissent — sided with government, who argued that even books (no more legitimate a vessel for political speech than any other, actually) could be banned by government through campaign finance laws if necessary. So Leahy, who believes Stevens is a model jurist, likely will ask many piercing questions (How evil is corporate America, Nixon evil or merely Nazi evil?) in defense of average Americans. But I wonder whether the average American believes, like Justice Stevens, that an unelected federal agency, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, should bypass Congress and, by fiat, regulate carbon dioxide, a chemical compound that permeates everything, without any consideration for cost or imposition or the electorate?

Do most average Americans, like Justice Stevens — who dissented on the landmark Second Amendment case of District of Columbia v. Heller — believe that once a judge deems something dangerous enough, that judge should empower government to ban it, even though that something happens to be explicitly protected by a constitutional amendment? Do they believe, like Justice Stevens, that government should continue to use racial quotas and preferences rather than allow citizens the freedom to succeed or fail on their own merits — or even their own luck — rather than on the color of their skin? Do they believe, like Justice Stevens, that local government should be permitted to throw American citizens off their own property and out of their homes? Do they concur that government should then be able to hand that property over to other private citizens simply because they can pay more taxes? Because, in Kelo v. City of New London, Stevens, writing for the majority, radically expanded the idea of property as “public use.” It’s no mystery why Leahy would want to turn the tables on conservatives and make the confirmation hearing about corporations rather than the Constitution or the reckless manner in which justices like Stevens treat it. I would do the same if my agenda’s success were tied intricately to the pliability of the document. David Harsanyi is a columnist at The Denver Post and the author of “Nanny State.”

Letters to the Editor To the Editor This is for the Thomasville City Council as they ponder requiring business license in the city. One of the oldest sayings I can remember is “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” Someone else said it a little different. Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night.” So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?” So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports. Then Congress said, “How are these people going to get paid?” So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, Then hired two people. Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all of these people?” So they created an administrative section

and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary. Then Congress said, “We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost.” So they laid off the night watchman. NOW slowly, let it sink in.

To the Editor May I applaud you for having the backbone to say what many would or could not say about Gerald Hege. So many people believe he is the man he was in the beginning of his first term. He is not and he is no better than the felons he put in jail at the time he was sheriff. I sincerely hope the good people of Davidson County will not waste a vote on this man. Our children, granchildren and ourselves deserve a sheriff that we can all be proud of and look up to. Thank you so much for a truthful look at this man. Carol Hiatt Huff Thomasville

Heading and his wife Dianne live Stanthorpe, Queensland, where he is head of Stanthorpe State High School’s Agriculture department. Heading has visited the United States before, investigating agricultural education in 2005. He is currently Chairman of the District Rotary Friendship Exchange Committee. Ahern is a senior sergeant in charge at the Palm Beach Police Station and told audience members of the differences and similarities between law enforcement here and in Australia. Ahern said Australian police face similar challenges combating drug abuse amongst kids, especially when it comes to prescription pills. Unlike America, there is only one police force in Australia. “Here, you have city, county and state police,” said Ahern. “In Australia, we all fall under one jurisdiction. I think it helps us communicate better, where here, I could see a problem passing information from one agency to the other.” Australia is the world’s largest island with a population of around 22 million people. Kangaroos outnumber the citizens two to one, and the continent possesses some of the most exotic animals in the world, including seven of the top most poisonous snakes. The country

Tourism, education and finance make up a large part of Australia’s economy, and China’s expansion has provided an economic boom from black coal and iron ore exports. “This has been absolutely amazing,” Smith said. “What a beautiful country. It’s pretty different. People have been really friendly. Australia only has 22 million [people] compared to 300 million here, and we’re the same size. I have noticed that. It has been really beautiful being here in Thomasville and to see how the rural character of towns is being preserved despite the population density.” The aim of the exchange program is to develop a cultural and vocational understanding of other countries within the Rotary society. Thomasville Rotarians are currently spending time in Australia. Six local Rotarians were host families to their special guests. “It has been a great experience,” said Dr. Christain Brandyberry about hosting Hoffman. “For me it was really cool because I have never been outside the United States. It was neat to have someone stay with me from another country. It’s amazing how much alike we are but there are subtle differences. We both speak English but different words mean different things. Guests represented rotary clubs from Glen Innes, Lismore West, Jimboomba, Tenterfield, Palm Beach and Stranthorpe.

Scam artists target elderly in neighboring counties TIMES STAFF REPORT Randolph County Sheriff ’s Office is looking for suspects believed to be impersonating surveyors who are stealing from unsuspecting property owners. According to a press release, on March 23, the RCSO received a report from an elderly resident on Frazier Road in Ramseur, in reference to having been victimized by two white males whom she stated told her they were checking property lines. While outside her residence the victim believes there was a third suspect involved who may have entered her residence and stole money from her purse that was sitting on a desk inside the residence. The victim further advised that nothing else in the resi-

dence was bothered and that the suspects were in a white in color small pick-up truck. On April 12, RCSO received another report from an elderly victim on High Pine Church Road,who stated that she was approached by two white male subjects who stated that they were checking property lines.

Grimsley signs to join Pfeiffer hoops program BY ZACH KEPLEY Sports Editor Waiting patiently for a couple of seasons, East Davidson’s Haley Grimsley finally got her chance to shine this past basketball season, making the transition from role player to star. She led the Golden Eagles in scoring and earned Central Carolina All-Conference honors, and that was all Pfeiffer University needed to see. The senior guard will now take her game to the next level after signing a letter of intent with the Falcons on Wednesday. “This means a lot to me in getting to play at

a different level of basketball,” said Grimsley. “They are close to home, so I will still get to see my friends.” Grimsley began her budding process in the 2008 state championship run the Golden Eagles made during her sophomore year. Her sweet touch from the outside landed her Regional MVP honors, as East would go on to claim the state title. She continued to improve her junior year, and when several key players departed due to graduation, she emerged as a team leader. Her coach, Brian Eddinger, could not be happier for her.

Haley Grimsley signs with Pfeiffer University in front of her family and coaches (back row) Brian Eddinger, Billy Freeman and Terry Allmon on Wednesday. “Before we started this season we had a senior meeting and I asked them what their plans were, and Haley said she just wants to play basketball,” he said. “I am excited for her and I think this is a good fit for her. They will be happy to have her.” Pfeiffer, an NCAA Division II school in Misen-

heimer, finished 13-15 this past season. The style they play was a big motivation in helping Grimsley make her decision. “They play at a running pace that I like to play and they like to shoot 3s,” she said. “They really like to attack the other team.” Though ready to move on and pursue her dream,

TYRO — He wears No. 10, plays third base and says his idol is Chipper Jones. What East Davidson’s Tyler Lequire did Tuesday night was every bit as good as the way Jones plays, only he took it a step farther. Lequire collected two hits, drove in five runs, and hit a screaming home run they may have embedded itself in a tree beyond the left field fence at Feezor Field. An impressive night in itself, but the hard-nosed, hot corner infielder had one more trick up his sleeve. Holding a 3-run lead, Lequire pitched the final two frame’s striking out five of the seven batters he would face, picking up his second save and giving East an exciting 10-7 Central Carolina Conference victory over West Davidson.

Duke assistant coaches share experiences Got Sports?

Grimsley looks back and cherishes her time at East and the experiences she was a part of. “I got to play on a state championship basketball team which does not happen to many people,” she said. “We had good teams and we were like a family.”

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND Durham Herald Sun DURHAM — To different extents, all of Duke’s assistant coaches could tell Duke’s players about how they handled any number of situations in the NCAA Tournament during their playing days. They could tell them, but they didn’t always do so. “It’s fun to tell old stories — they like that at times — but they want to live in their own moments,” Duke assistant coach Chris Collins said. “But I do think it helps to have a staff that all played here, because whatever each of the guys is going through, there’s a good chance one of us on the staff has been in a similar situation.” Assistant coach Nate James played on Duke’s 2001

NCAA championship team, Collins advanced to the NCAA final in 1994, and graduate assistant Chris Carrawell reached the title game in 1999. While Steve Wojciechowski never reached the Final Four as a player, he was on the staff with Collins in 2001. Now they’ve all been on a championship team together, playing key roles in the Blue Devils’ triumph over Butler in last week’s NCAA championship game. They now have a new story to tell, though head coach Mike Krzyzewski doesn’t find his assistants’ war stories old even if Duke’s current players sometimes do. “I’m a lot older than these guys, so they can relate

10 – Thomasville Times – Thursday, April 15, 2010

SPORTS SWIPE From page 7 “We came together as a team tonight and communicated well,” said the humble youngster. It was a complete team effort as the Golden Eagles (8-5) scattered 14 hits, to maintain a tie for second place in conference play with Central Davidson at 3-1. West fell to 7-8 overall and 2-2 in the CCC. “I am pleased with the way we put the bat on the ball late in the game,” said East coach Dan Tricarico. “It was nice to respond to what West was doing. Tonight, we swung the bats well enough to win.” East had built a 3-0 lead through 2 1/2 innings, but gave up four runs over the third and fourth innings to trail 4-3. The Golden Eagles offense sputtered in a 3-2 win over Ledford last Friday, recording just four hits. East had five hits in a five-run fifth inning Tuesday and would never trail again. Justin Hulin walked with one out, then Keaton Hawks reached on an error at third. With one RBI already on the night, Lequire did more damage drilling a double to

right-center to plate both runners. Davin Lawson followed with a double to right to bring in the third run, then Justin Mounts blooped a double behind first, scoring courtesy runner Luis Tejada after a mishandle of the ball by the Dragon defense. Mounts scored on Taylor Warren’s single, sending the Golden Eagles ahead 8-4. All but one of the hits went to the opposite field. “We hit the ball where it was pitched on the back side, not trying to do too much with it,” Tricarico said. East had some bullpen activity during the big inning, but Tricarico elected to stay with his starter, Hawks, now that the Golden Eagles had regained the lead. His leash was short, though, as he walked the leadoff batter and was replaced with freshman Avery Bowles. West scored three times to get within one, capped by a two-run, opposite field shot off the barrel of Tyler Hudson. With West hot on their heels again, East needed to find some insurance. They got it. Hawks singled through the hole on the right side, bringing up the hot-hitting Lequire, who hit for the cycle in a recent

game. With the count at 1-1, he unloaded on a fastball from West’s Gary Ferguson, sending it well up into the trees on a bank beyond the left field fence. “I have never hit a ball that hard,” said Lequire. “I knew it was gone as soon as I hit it and did the Sammy Sosa thing. I got the butterflies and everything.” Back in control, East took no chances, sending Lequire out to pitch the final two innings. He struck out the side in the sixth and two more in the seventh to complete the save. About the only thing Lequire did wrong all day was locking his keys in the car before school Tuesday morning. East has an even bigger game looming on Friday, when first place Salisbury rides into town with a 4-0 league mark. “This (win) sets us up for the game with Salisbury on Friday and that one will be big for us,” said Tricarico.

From page 7 what it was like to play at Duke, play for me, go to school at Duke, and then go through the experiences that they’ve gone through,” Krzyzewski said. “I’m sure they’ve talked to these guys at different times about the tournament, the Final Four and the opportunity to play for a championship. “It’s a good thing.” With this Duke team, however, James tried to take more of a don’t-tellunless-asked approach. “I don’t lay it on too thick with them, but I’m always there if they have any questions,” he said. “This is one of the oldest groups we’ve had. We have a lot of leadership, guys who have been through the fire to get to this point. “You can tell the kids ’til you’re blue in the face what to do, but they’re the ones that have to get the job done. They’re a good group. They listen to everything we say. We can sit back and say, ‘Hey, you worked hard for this. Go out there and make it happen.’ “ To hear Duke’s players talk about it, the assistants’ approach — on the court and off — is an effective one, even when some don’t see how it could be. For example, some outsiders have questioned how Wojciechowski, a point guard, could be effective coaching the big men as the team’s post play lagged before this

season. But even before a breakout season for the group, his post players offered nothing but praise. “Wojo is a great coach,” senior forward Lance Thomas said. “Just because he wasn’t a big man, it has no effect on his intensity, his passion or on him knowing what he’s talking about. “He brings the fire out of us. He found the inner fire in Brian [Zoubek] that propelled him. He knows how make sure Miles [Plumlee] is ready to come into a game. He knows how to make sure Mason [Plumlee] is ready to come in and be himself and not play like a freshman. “He’s been really key for me confidence-wise, and he’s helped me defensively just because he was national defensive player of the year.” Just like the assistants sometimes choose to keep their stories to themselves, they don’t want to get in the way of the current players’ enjoyment of winning a championship. That doesn’t mean, however, that they don’t feel like champions all over again. “It’s as good a feeling as I’ve ever had associated with basketball, whether it be as a player or a coach,” Wojciechowski said. “It’s because we have such strong relationships within the team, from the coaches to the players to the other staff around the team. This group, more than any I’ve been around, is the epitome of what you’d want a team to be.”

Newbery and Caldecott 2010 Winners

Meet Author Rebecca Stead Have you visited a library recently? This year, National Library Week will be celebrated from April 11-17. The theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communities thrive @ your library.â&#x20AC;? In honor of libraries, The Mini Page talked with the winners of the 2010 Caldecott and Newbery medals.

The John Newbery Medal is awarded each year to the author of the most outstanding childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medal was awarded to Rebecca Stead for â&#x20AC;&#x153;When You Reach Me.â&#x20AC;?

Rebecca Stead (pronounced STED) went to school in New York City. The school system brought in writers, filmmakers and artists to work with students throughout the school year. Because of this program, her elementary school put out a literary journal of the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; writing and artwork. The visiting writers and her teachers had to push her to finish her stories. She kept starting them, but they had no endings. The first story she finished, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Spicy Meatball,â&#x20AC;? was published in this journal when she was in sixth grade.

Jerry got a scholarship to a college of art. After college, he worked at different jobs, including designing flower arrangements and working at a greeting card company. He worked for an illustration and design studio. He illustrated his first childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book as a project for the studio. He later opened his own studio. He has illustrated many textbooks as well as picture books. )N THE LAST YEARS HE HAS WON five Caldecott Honor Book awards.

Growing up

A lucky meeting

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lion & the Mouseâ&#x20AC;? is a re-telling without words of one of Aesopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fables.

When he was about 12, he took a job selling newspapers at a stand in Philadelphia. In between selling newspapers, he drew pictures of the people he saw around him. A cartoonist saw him drawing, and they became friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my first experience with someone making a living drawing pictures,â&#x20AC;? Jerry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was doing something I loved doing and was able to make a living doing it.â&#x20AC;? Jerry realized that he too could earn a living with his art.

photo by Thomas Kristich

Jerry Pinkney said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I drew since as far back as I can remember. Both my parents encouraged the six of us to draw. They were really keeping us busy, so we always had some of the simplest materials to make images with.â&#x20AC;? There were no artists in his family or in his neighborhood. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize people made a living with art. Jerry Pinkney, 70, has illustrated about 100 books. His wife, Gloria Jean, is a writer and singer. They live in Crotonon-Hudson, N.Y. They have four adult children: Troy, Scott, Brian and Myles. All the kids work with art. Brian and Myles also illustrate childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books.

Some favorites Color: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red is a favorite of mine. It is a color that attracts the eye. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see it in a lot of my books.â&#x20AC;? Music: Classical in the morning, jazz in the afternoons. He also likes soft rock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sweethearts of Rhythmâ&#x20AC;? by Marilyn Nelson is the true story of an all-girl integrated band in the 1940s and their victory over discrimination.

Going to school Jerry said his teachers always encouraged his gift. When he was in the first and second grades, the teachers had him help with visual aids. He had a reading difficulty called dyslexia (dis-LEK-see-uh), so school was hard for him. But his art evened things out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could do something other children couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do as well. It kept me balanced. It helped me recognize that some people had gifts in one area, but maybe not in other ones.â&#x20AC;?

Advice for kids â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can find and recognize a thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in and passionate about, stick with it. Believe in it. Realize that things take time to mature and grow.â&#x20AC;?

ballot all together. Prout said that just because Hege himself would not being carrying a gun, he would be still be in violation of the statute that states it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;unlawful for any person who has been convicted of a felony to purchase, own, possess, or have in his custody, care or control any firearm or any weapon of mass destruction and death.â&#x20AC;? Should Hege return to office, he would be a steward of many guns within the Davidson County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re calling on voters to come and join us against Hege,â&#x20AC;? said affidavit holder Jane Burdette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to keep him of out of office. Our taxpayer dollars donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to support a felon. Every person under his rule will be responsible for what he does. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;re not stupid and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t born yesterday. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s why we have voter registration, to keep these crappy people out of office.â&#x20AC;? Ruth Huneycutt, Davidson County director of elections, processed the forms and said the Board of Elections will meet next Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. to determine a course of action. Huneycutt said this was the first time she has seen a challenge of this nature. Prout, a Forsyth County resident who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign the affidavit, said Hege has a long history of corruption involving prisoner abuse and attacks on the elderly. The window for such a motion ended 10 days after filling completed, but Prout said she was able to go ahead with the affidavit under a default deadline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Hege] is absolutely not qualified for this position,â&#x20AC;? Prout said â&#x20AC;&#x153; His conviction makes him not qualified. He wants to go on the fact he can not possess a hand gun, however, the statute doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Salvationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way is entering its 10th year of existence and Prout said her organization has crossed path with Hege numerous times. Under the statute, Prout said only one challenge is needed legally to move forward with the process. Four people submitted the notarized affidavit. Hege is slated to face off against incumbent sheriff David Grice and Terry Price in the May Republican primary with the winner challenging Democrat Tommy Evans in November.
