cally injured in a hit-and-run accident.
Dhesi, who is employed as a man

rant in Greensboro, had no health in

tion canisters in 19 of its Triangle area
resturants to help pay Dhesi’s medical
bills, said Dale Roach, Mid-Atlantic

donations at our cash registers and have
passed those contributions tocharitable
organizations,” he said. “When we heard
about Navi Dhesi’s lack of medical
insurance, we decided to donate die
money to the fund that his friends had
already set up.”
Theodore Edward Mosier, 45, of
5707-33 Windlestraw in Durham is a
district manager at Pizza Hut’s regional
office in Raleigh.
Chapel Hill police arrested Mosier
after following leads to Florida and
Illinois and charged him with felonious
hit-and-run.
Dhesi’s father, Jagtar Singh, said his
son was out of a coma and recovering in
a rehabilitation center in Durham.
“He cannot move his right eye, arm
or leg and he cannot speak either yet,”
he said. “The doctors said they don’t
know when he will be able to fully
recover because he had some injury to
his brain, but we are hopeful.”
One of Dhesi’s co-workers, Marchal
Moody, said he was pleased with Pizza
Hut’sefforts to help pay for his friend’s
medical expenses.
“Thjs whole thing is really a great
help,” he said. “But not all the bills
have been paid, even one cat scan
costs about $5,000, so we still need a
lot of help.”
TijuanaFat’sGeneralManagerTim
Campbell said the Navi Dhesi Fund
had raised $6,600 with the Pizza Hut
donation included.
“This whole thing is very unfortu
nate, but the help from Pizza Hut is
welcomed by all of us,” he said.
Campbell said he did not think Pizza
Hut representatives donated the money
not only for good public relations, but
because they were genuinely sympa
thetic.
“People in the restaurant business,
especially management, have this spe
cial link,” he said. “These people have
this penchant for taking people under
their wing, and really caring about
what happens to them.”
Donations to the Navi Dhesi Fund
can be sent in care of Tijuana Fats
Mexican restaurant,36oFederal Place,
Greensboro, 27401, or at most area
Pizza Hut restaurants.
Local schools hire new heads
By Tf Hemlinger
Staff Writer
The growing Chapel Hill-Carrboro
city school system will welcome anew
high school principal this fall and in
1994 dedicate the new middle school
with a familiar face serving as princi
pal.
Charles A. Patteson, a 48-year-old
graduate of Lynchburg College in Vir
ginia and five-year principal of Central
High School in Pageland, S.C., was
selected from 70 applicants to become
the new Chapel Hill High School prin
cipal this fall.
Charles Stewart, the principal at Grey
Culbreth Middle School, will become
the principal of the new middle school
Nov. 1. Even though the school won’t
open until 1994, Stewart will be select
ing teaching leaders, training a staff and
developing programs.
Patteson said the cultural and social
amenities offered in Chapel Hill af
fected his decision to move.
“Chapel Hill is very attractive in terms
of culture and social amenities,” he said.
“It’s a good school system and has a lot
of programs and activities within the

school that are attractive to me and my
family.
“From a school standpoint, there are
not a lot of schools I would have left
(Pageland) for. I wouldn’t have gone to
just any school.”
Stewart said it was a difficult deci
sion for him to leave Culbreth Middle
School, his employer of 19 years.
“I have a lot of close ties at Culbreth,”
he said. “It was not an easy decision to
leave. But I like the idea of taking anew
school and filling it up with teachers,
programs and kids.”
School Board President Mary
Bushnell said she thought Patteson was
a responsible person, and he had the
parents’ and students’ interests at heart.
“He impressed the faculty as some
one who was strong and decisive and
interested in the quality of education,”
she said.
Patteson said Chapel Hill High
School had other problems beyond over
crowding, such as the disparity between
test scores among black and white stu
dents.
But he added that he was not going to
take over with any quick-fix solutions
in mind.
“I’m not coming in with a ready
made package to plug in to Chapel Hill
High School,” he said. “A lot of things
are already going on in Chapel Hill, and
there are a lot of other things in the
educational system that can be brought
in, but I won’t do that without discuss
ing it with others. I don’t have any set
agenda.”
But Stewart said he already had an
agenda to follow. “I want to spend time
with the leadership group and, I hope,
some parents, to get the best thinking of
the best people,” he said. “It will be a
real challenge to define that and to com
municate that.”
According to Hazel Gibbs, person
nel director for Chapel Hill-Carrboro
schools, both schools will use site-based
management, which allows people in
volved most with the system to make
important policy decisions.
“Historically the perception has been
those decisions have been made at the
central office,” Gibbs said, adding that
site-based management has been in place
in the school system for about two years.
Governance councils are comprised
of teachers, students and parents.
Patteson said it was important to in
clude members of the community in
school decision-making.
“There’s a lot of needed change go
ing on in American schools and in ad
ministration,” he said. “I have always
tried to involve people in the needs of
the school. The school exists because of
the community, and I try to remember
that.”
Patteson said it was important to bal
ance the wishes of teachers, parents,
staff and administrators.
“There are a lot of parents involved
and a strong faculty,” Patteson said.
“These are very smart people who de
mand answers.”
