City of I Lexington sued
over ticket sales arrest

By Dariush Shafa

THE xtNtucxv «mm

The city of Lexington is being
sued by a Paris. Ky. man after the
man was arrested for trying to
sell tickets outside Rupp Arena
before a U K basketball game.

(‘raig A, Wilson. in. filed suit
in US. District (‘ourt against the
city March ll. saying his First
Amendment right to free speech
had been violated and he was
subjected to unlawful search and
seizure by Lexington police offi
cers.

Wilson was one of ‘30 people
arrested before a UK men's bas-
ketball game Jan. 1 In an opera
tion spearheaded by the Lexing-
ton Police to curb ticket scalping

selling tickets above face value.
The Lexington law also forbids
selling tickets below face value,

Wilson was charged with vio.
lating a city ordinance that pro-
hibits selling anything includ-
ing tickets. food or merchandise

within a two-block radius of
Rupp Arena before a game with-
out a vendor's license.

Wilson was arrested with tWo
UK tickets in his possession as
well as $40 in cash.

"He (the officer) said. ‘Where‘s
the rest of your money? Where's
the rest of your tickets?” Wilson
said. ”One of the things that hurt
the most was their attitude. They
(the officers) thought they were
making a score."

Wilson said he was selling the
tickets because two people could-
n‘t come. Wilson was asking $15
for the 822 tickets. and the $40
was for dinner. he said.

Wilson pleaded guilty under a
plea agreement in return for hav-
ing his seized money and proper-
ty returned. Now Wilson has filed
a lawsuit. which he hopes be-
comes certified as a class-action

lawsuit. The lawsuit must be ap.
proved as a class-action suit so
others can join in on the same
lawsuit without filing multiple
suits for the same reasons.

Lexington Mayor Teresa Isaac
said the case is in litigation now
and declined to comment.

Wilson wants to clear his
record. he said.

“My concern is. I‘ve never
had a police record in my life. and
to receive one over this?" Wilson
said. "My biggest concern is get-
ting this reversed."

Wilson said he believes offi-
cers should have used their judg-
ment.

"They could have just given
me a warning.“ he said. “That
Would have been a little more up
the alley of fairness.”

Wilson said he was unaware
of the city ordinance against sell-
ing tickets within two blocks of
Rupp Arena and said the police
shouldn't be targeting people who
don‘t have any intention of
breaking the law.

“They know who the profes-
sional scalpers are." he said. “I
had no idea this was a law or else
I wouldn‘t have done it.

“I want the city to realize and
the police to realize that you can't
enforce a law that hits the people
you shouldn‘t be hitting.“

Wilson said he believes his
case has a good chance of suc-
ceeding with the help of local at-
torney John Helmuth and Michi-
gan attorney Thomas Cecil. who
is pursuing a similar case in that
state. Attempts to reach Helmuth
and Cecil were unsuccessful.

“I‘m confident." Wilson said.
“'ibm thinks they're going to
clear this away very quickly"

one hand. a ho-hum response frotii the
massive audience is the best it could gar-

But the sequence was huge for the
Cats.

The three-point play gave UK a 6439
lead over Cincinnati with less than four
minutes remaining, and the Bearcats
missed their last 12 field goal attempts. as
the Cats went on to win 69-60 and advance
to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

UK junior forward Kelenna Azubuike
had 19 points to lead all scorers. He said
the Morris play changed the momentum of
a game that had been tight throughout the
second half.

“That was just a smart play by Ran-
dolph ,_ to stay after it and not give up on
the play." Azubuike said. “And we were re-
warded for it.“

The No. 2-seeded (Tats (27-5) had a few

This was not the blank-faced. quiet
Azubuike. This was not the man whose
toughness UK head coach Titbby Smith
questioned last season. This was not a man
to be denied.

Less than a minute into the second half.
Azubuike streaked down court for a layup
to tie the game.

He clapped his hands and encouraged
his Cats to turn it up even more. They fol-
lowed their leader

lead on Cincinnati (25-8). but could never
finish when they had to. After regaining
the lead shortly after halftime. UK turned
the ball over and missed easy opportuni-
ties to put the Bearcats away for good at
key moments.

Then. with 8:48 left. Azubuike missed a
w ideopen dunk on a fast break that would
have given the Cats a 58-51 lead.

“We had a chance to put them away a
couple of times and couldn‘t." said junior
guard Patrick Sparks. “And then Kelenna
missed that dunk. and they took a lot out
of our system there. But we showed a lot
of toughness and just stayed with it."

Sparks scored the first two points of
the game as UK jumped out to an 1H) lead
in the opening minutes. He also added two
early 3-pointers after going 0-for-eight
from behind the arc in his last two games.

But Cincinnati chipped away at the
(‘ats' lead by forcing eight UK turnovers in
the last seven minutes of the first half.
converting on the other end to take a 35-33
advantage into halftime.

Sparks wasn't surprised by Cincin~
nati's comeback or the game's series of
unorthodox plays.

“We knew it was going to be like that."
he said. “And whenever you have a bunch
of athletes out there on the court. any
thing can happen. It was a hectic game.
but 1 think at the end we just settled down
and executed."

But junior guard Ravi Moss disagreed
with the notion that the contest was an
ugly one.

“i wouldn‘t say it was ugly at all." Moss
said. “I‘d say it was a great college basket-
ball game. and that‘s what college basket-
ball is all about. Two teams fighting it out
and being physical and grinding it down
until the end.“

Whatever it was. senior forward Chuck
Hayes had been waiting for it all season.

The game saw all five starters score in
double figures and 13 Cats hit the court in
the first half A a team effort Hayes said he
couldn't have been mom proud of.

“We knew we had it in us — this type
of game where everybody contributes and
it’s a total team effort.“ Hayes said. “And it
couldn‘t have come at a better time. It

came at a perfect time.”

A few minutes later. Azubuike got the
ball at the top of the key and nearly lost
his footing. He steadied himself and looked
Bearcat guard Jihad Muhammad right in
the eye.

And then he banged in a 3-pointer.

This was the player everyone had been
waiting for. This was the player who could
lead a team. This was the player UK need-
ed.

“1 think it's really important.“ Hayes
said of Azubuike's aggression. “The guy.
he's a scorer; he‘s a leader. People are
watching him , he knows that. He knows
the eyes are on him. and he's done a good
job of taking it in stride."

Against Cincinnati. Azubuike played
every minute in the second half. He did
everything. He scored. he grabbed re-
bounds and he locked down on defense.

He finished with 19 points and seven re~
bounds. but he provided more than that 777

he showed the fiery emotion these Cats
have needed all season.

In a grudge match against Cincinnati.
Azubuike answered the Bearcats' tough-
ness with unparalleled intensity.

"I wanted to come in and be aggres-
sive." Azuhlho slid. “They put a lot of
pressure on gut The way to boot M b to

“I knew I had to produce for my

Translating a love of books to Hispanic readers

By Nikita Stewart
THE wisaiiicroii POST

WASHINGTON A Like a
Scout leader assembling a
cookie display. librarian
Michael Andrews carefully
arranged books on a table at
Todos Supermarket. a multi-
purpose suburban Hispanic
store.

As patrons did their gro-
cery shopping. cashed checks
or sought help with income
tax forms. Andrews tried to
get their attention one recent
afternoon.

“Ser'ior! Senora!" he said
quietly. hoping to guide a
reader to a Harry Potter novel
translated into Spanish or to
Con Mi Hermano (With My
Brother). Eileen Roe’s chil-
dren‘s book written in Span-
ish and English.

For nearly a year. An-
drews. 56, has been using his
elementary Spanish and a
van full of library books to
get the burgeoning suburban
Hispanic community interest-
ed in the public library and
thereby build the beginnings
of trust between new immi-
grants and local government.

For several hours a week.
he and other volunteers set up
displays such as this one at lo
cations popular with Hispan-
ics across Prince William
County. Va.

The effort. dubbed “the
Viva! Van" for the vehicle that
carries the books. is one way
the county is reaching out to
the community whose num-
bers have exploded in the past
five years from 9 percent to 16
percent of the population.

Since the Viva! Van start-
ed last April. it has given out
more than 1.500 books and
has had contact with about
800 adults and 800 children.
Andrews said.

Lydia Gonzalez, president
of the local library board.
said she came up with the no
tion because she knows what
it's like to be an outsider in a
new community. and how one
connection to a local institu-
tion. such as the library. can
make a difference.

The daughter of Puerto
Rican immigrants. she moved
as a young bride from Span—
ish Harlem to Rocky Mount.
NC. where the Hispanic pop
ulation is still less than 2 per-

cent. The bookmobile became
her salvation. Gonzalez said:
The friendly librarians be-
hind the wheel bonded her
somehow to the southern
community

So Gonzalez suggested a
Hispanic bookmobile when
the local group Hispanic Out-
reach Leadership Action #
HOLA -—v was looking for a
way to reach immigrants last
year. Prince William used a
$20,000 grant to fund the pro-
ject. Of that. about 315000
went to buy more than 7.000
Spanish-language books. The
rest went for items such as
plastic bins to carry the
books. promotional materials
and van maintenance.

The van also travels to
English as a Second Lan-
guage programs at various
schools and to Hispanic festi-
vals.

The books are “lealos y re—
greselos." or “read and re-
turn." meaning borrowers
can return them to any of the
four county libraries. There
are no late fees or library
cards: Organizers didn‘t want
to scare anyone away by ask-
ing for names or identifica

tion.

Spanish-English dictio-
naries go quickly. said Gonza-
lez. who regrets that more
books aren‘t available in
Spanish. especially how-to
books on construction. me-
chanics and gardening — all
specialties of day laborers.
The library system has more
than 5,000 titles in Spanish.
but the additional books for
the van must be nearly dis-
posable because there is no
guarantee they will be re-
turned.

Some volunteers are flu-
ent in Spanish. such as Betsy
Reid. an ESL elementary
schoolteacher.

“I really feel strongly that
literacy is important.“ said
Reid. 55. “To get their chil-
dren reading. they need books
in their home."

Andrews. who manages
the program. said he could
say "nothing more than ‘taco‘
and ‘burrito‘ " before Viva!
Van. He‘s now taking a Span-
ish class.

Nevertheless. he shares a
common language with his
small clients: that of Barney.
Clifford and Dora.
