(AP)
A couple accused of killing their 13-year-old
son by tying him to a tree for two;nights for pun-
ishment appeared in a North Carolina courtroom
Monday to face charges of murder and felony
child abuse.
Attorneys appeared Monday with Brice Brian
McMillan, 41, and his wife Sandra Elizabeth
McMillan, 36, of Macclesfield.
ItTs a sad case,? defense attorney Allen Powell,
who represents Brice McMillan, said after the
hearing. He declined any further comment, and
the two did not enter a plea.
The county sheriffTs office has said Brice
McMillan told a deputy the teen was being disobe-
dient and was forced to sleep outside last Tuesday
like saili ig, during ng Camps Rainbow ag Hope.

while tied to a tree. The teen was released
Wednesday morning, but again tied up that
night for bad behavior.
Sheriff James Knight has said the boy
was left tied to the tree until the following
afternoon,when his stepmother found him
unresponsive. Authorities believe the boy
was bound to the tree with pkastic ties and
possibly other kinds of material.
Arrest warrants for both McMillans
said the child sustained bruising to the
wrist, cuts to entire body, missing flesh
from buttocks, results from being tied to a
tree for approximately 18 hours resulting
in death.?
The warrants didnTt reveal a specific
cause of death. An autopsy is pending at
the stateTs. chief medical examinerTs s office
in Chapel Hill.
Two other children living in the McMil-
lans in the home, ages 7 and 9, have been
placed in the custody of the Department of "
Social Services, authorities said.
Macclesfield is about an hour east
of Raleigh.

STAFF WRITER
The Association of Mexicans in
North Carolina (AMEXCAN) will
hold the inaugural Latino Leadership
Summit starting at 9 a.m. on June 27
at the Murphy Center in Greenville.
The event, which is free and open to
the public, aims to focus on and clarify
the effects of Latino migration on com-
munities and current social policy in
the state. -
The summit will feature nationally
recognized Latino leaders, as well as
young and experienced leaders from
the stateTs immigrant Latino commu-
nity, who will present strategies for
engaging in the communitiesT civic and
democratic processes.
The purpose of the summit is
to highlight the work of Latino lead-
ers in NC and support them with
knowledge and skills so that they can
work through this period of change
and growth,? said Juvencio Rocha
Peralta, president of AMEXCAN.
The featured speakers at the event
include Angela Sanbrano, president of
the National Alliance of Latin American
and Caribbean Communities (NALACC)
and Dr. Juan Andrade, Jr., president
of the United States Hispanic Leader-
ship Institute (USHLI), as well as Dr.
Rebecca Torres of ECU.
The summit will contribute to the
understanding of the root causes of
migration and to a more effective inte-
gration of Mexican and Latin American
immigrants to the social, political and
economic fabric of NC,? Sanbrano said.
The dialogue, with several sectors of
NC, will result in a better understanding
of the contribution that migrant work-
ers bring to the region and to the state
in general.?
ECU is sponsoring this important
effort because we are looking at helping
to build organizational infrastructure
within the Latino community and
recognize that our future students live
within those communities,? said David
Conde, a member of the summitTs Coor-
dinating Board. = .
Although the summit is free and
open to the public, registration is
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2008
required to attend.
It is estimated that more than
700,000 Latinos currently live in North
Carolina and many Latino communi-
ties have experienced firsthand the
rising anti-immigrant sentiment-in the
state. Beaufort County commissioners
have stated a goal to make the county
the toughest place in the country? for
undocumented immigrants, according .
to recent news reports.
In Mecklenburg County, home to
Charlotte, NC; a commissioner recently
compared illegal immigrants to prosti-
tutes and drug dealers.
State Attorney General Roy Cooper
circulated an advisory letter to the
stateTs 58 community colleges that sug-
gests they return to a 2001 policy of
prohibiting access. to degree classes to
undocumented students.
The AMEXCAN is a non-profit
organization founded in 2001 with the
mission of fomenting the values, under-
standing and prosperity of the Mexican
and Latino community through culture,
leadership, health and education.?

Opinion
WhatTs the deal
with uniforms?
A change of clothes doesnTt mean a change of
| heart |
ANDREA ROBERTSON
OPINION WRITER
The Pitt County School Board has decided that all students are
to wear uniforms starting with the 2008-09 school year. The school
board hopes that by adopting this new. requirement, students will
have a more peaceful school environment, clothing selection will be |
more tasteful and hygiene and cleanliness will be improved.
Uniforms have always been feared and loathed by most stu-
dents; however, will uniforms really solve the problems we all
encountered while in school? It is impossible to prevent all students ©
from picking on each other, so what is the point in making them
~ all look like minions?
At a young age, clothing is one of the last things on our minds.
I remember hearing children comment on the lack of cleanliness
of another studentTs attire, thus that studentTs clothes went under
ridicule; however, the brand name was never brought into the attack.
While we are young, most of the banter students give and receive
is based on physical characteristics that are nearly impossible to
change. We have the four eyes? jokes, the metal mouth? jokes, the
fat kid? jokes, the weird kid? jokes and the list goes on.
I am not endorsing these jokes by any means, they are cruel
and pointless; but they will not go away. Requiring each child to
wear similar clothing will not make all children get along. Kids
are cruel.
Even if the uniforms do prevent kids from joking on each other
about appearances, once they enter high school we will still have
the girls wearing Chanel earrings, the students with flashy cars,
the jocks and the cheerleaders and unless we enact the Handicapper
General from Harrison Bergeron, there will always be someone who
feels that he or she is better than everyone else.
Once students reach their teens, they begin to feel that their
clothing choices are one of the only things that they have to out-
wardly express who they are.
I will agree that certain things such as provocative clothing
and gang-related clothing should be banned from schools. Students
shouldnTt promote sex and violence. However, there is nothing wrong
with a student who wants to wear a t-shirt with a Volcom Stone
logo. If parents and school officials were more stringent about the
dress code then the need for uniforms would never be brought to
' the table. Plus, if students could break the old dress code, what is to
keep them from breaking the new uniform and appearance policy?
If the school can prevent students from wearing the wrong things
under the new policy, why couldnTt they prevent the students from
wearing the wrong things before? ;
To think that making everyone dress the same will level the
playing field and prevent the little boy with glasses or the teenage
girl with braces from being picked on is ludicrous. From the time we
learn to speak, we ridicule other human beings. We would be lying
if we said that we didnTt continue to do so into adulthood.
There is no need to turn a group of young people who are trying
to discover the kind of people they want to be into sheep.

M. Night Shyamalan
disappoints with killer plant
film
VERONICA CARRINGTON
FEATURES EDITOR
Spoiler alert folks: the film The Hap-
pening is about killer trees and plants,
very similar to the recently released film,
The Ruzns. -
The pre-school level message of the
film is that if the human race continues to
be cruel to nature. ..nature will eventually
fight back. In case you miss this, despite
having it hammered into your brain for
two hours; do not despair--the filmTs
characters spell it out for you capone
the whole film.
The script starts off strong with
some truly horrific moments of violence.
Unfortunately, once the nature of the
filmTs antagonist, becomes clear, things
get funny very quickly and no amount
of bloodshed can change that. Trying to
understand the thought process of writer
and director M. Night Shyamalan is akin
to analyzing Jell-O. What keeps it wig-
gling and what binds it together?
As for the basis of the plot, one fall
morning, people begin to exhibit strange
behavior before inexplicably killing them-
252-355-0000
fe VYasfringtor
selves. In Central Park, a woman reading
a book suddenly stabs herself in the throat
with a hairpin. Blocks away, workers on
a construction site Just casually walk off
the iron skeleton of a skyscraper, plum-
meting to their deaths. Meanwhile, in
a downtown Philadelphia apartment,
Elliot (Mark Wahlberg) and Alma (Zooey
Deschanel) are having an argument. After
months of trying, Alma realizes that their
marriage is no longer working and is
preparing to leave Elliot. Elliot, however,
feels that there is still hope that they can
repair their relationship. Alma disagrees.
As reports of strange deaths begin to
come in from cities around the world,
some believe that the mysterious deaths
are part of a coordinated terrorist attack.
The school where Elliot teaches science is |
dismissed and Elliott races home to col-
lect Alma and meet his friend Julian (John
Leguizamo) and his daughter Jessica at
Philadelphia's 30th Street Station in order
to head out to the presumed safety of the .
New Jersey countryside.
Soon after leaving Philadelphia, Elliot
~begins to realize that the deaths aren't the
result of a terrorist attack, but are being
caused by the release of a toxin by the
surrounding plant life in an evolutionary
attempt to protect themselves from the
human race. Again, keep in mind: the film
is about killer trees and killer plants
However, the characters in this film
somehow always end up surrounded by
the nature that is trying to kill them.
If nature itself turned against man-
kind, the logical course of action would be
to seek solace indoors. Possibly nail your
windows shut and try to make the room
as airtight as possible, right? I personally
know of dozens of spots that would be
much safer than roaming around fields,
forests and gardens aimlessly. Neverthe-
less, Shyamalan has his characters romp-
ing around fields of jasmine like hippies
at Woodstock. We are forced to watch in
boredom as the film ends abruptly " at
the exact moment when Alma realizes
she really does want to be a proper wife
to Elliot. We are then left with an image
of Elliot, Alma andJessica embracing in a
de-monstered field of plants, in the middle
of an Eastern seaboard, which has almost
completely suicided? itself.
Poof. The toxin party is over and
though the area is less populated, every-
thing returns to normal. Well, until it
starts to happen in France.
This film was a waste of time and if I
were a tree, I would be offended to have
my genus and species in the credits.

Major League
Philadelphia Barrage
and Rochester Rattlers
face off
HART HOLLOMAN
STAFF WRITER
Major League Lacrosse is
coming to North Carolina.
The defending MLL cham-
pions Philadelphia Barrage will
take on the Rochester Rattlers
on Saturday night at WakeMed
Soccer Park in Cary.
The match will mark the two
teamsT second and final match-up
of the season. :
The two squads met last year
for the Eastern Conference cham-
pionship, with the Barrage taking
down the high flying Rattlers
and eventually winning their
second MLL:championship in a
row. However, a season-long road
trip has left the Barrage looking
vulnerable all season, including a
22-9 shellacking at the hands of
the Rattlers in Rochester earlier
this season. .
With their new stadium under
construction, MLL has decided
that the Barrage will play all their
games on the road this season.
- Their scheduled away games
are still played at that host teamTs
Lacrosse will call
NS:
venue, but their scheduled home
games have been placed in cities:
without MLL teams to gauge
interest in areas for expansion
plans. Such is the plight of a
fledgling league trying to make
its way in the pro sports market,
but MLL has always gone away
from the normal MO for profes-
sional leagues.
First off, all the players make
the same amount of money. Game
ROCHESTER
day squads are limited to an 18
player roster. Every player on the
roster gets a game check. All the
checks are for the same amount.
There are no signing bonuses
or guaranteed money. Players
have to play to get paid. Most
teams have a pool of around 25
players to choose from to make
their game day roster, so that
means anywhere from five to
10 guys who practice with the
Cary home
team donTt receive game checks.
This breeds the type of com-
petition not seen in pro sports,
where players make a salary .
whether they play or not. This
also means that most players
have other jobs. Try working a
*..nine-hour day at the office then
a three-hour practice, four nights
a week.
Also, MLL broke ranks with
most professional leagues by
making significant rule changes
between their league and col-
lege play.
The NBA has minor changes
with foul allotment and timing,
but MLL took a radical approach
in fashioning the game to promote
the wide array of offensive talent
the league possesses. To keep the
game moving and increase shot

Kemp Is one of three C-
USA players to land on
the team
(ECU SID)
ECU catcher Corey Kemp
was named second-team All-
America Thursday afternoon by
Baseball America, the publica-
tion announced. Kemp is one of
three Conference USA players
~to be honored with TulaneTs
Shooter Hunt and Southern
MissT Barry Bowden taking
home third-team honors.
Kemp, a third-team National
Collegiate Baseball Writers
Association (NCBWA) All-
American, became the second
Pirate to be named C-USA
Player-of-the-Year. He was one
of the most productive hitters in
Conference USA all season long,
leading the league RBI (72) and
ranking second in home runs
(16), while batting .341 with a
.628 slugging percentage.
Kemp produced 23 multi-hit
and 20 multi-RBI games and
had 11 game-winning RBI. In 24
conference games, he
batted .319 with 10
homers and 38 RBI.
- Hunt led Tulane
and Conference USA
in opponent batting
average (.175), total
strikeouts (126) and
strikeouts looking
(48). Hunt also led
the team with nine
wins and paced the
club while ranking
second in the con-
ference with.a 2.68
ERA and topped the
circuit with 100.2
innings pitched.
With 126 strike-
outs, Hunt becomes
the fourth Tulane
hurler in as many
years to eclipse the
100-K mark in a
season. In addition,
Hunt ranks fifth in
the NCAA in strike-
outs and hits allowed
per nine innings
(5.54) and 12th in strikeouts per
nine innings (11.26). His .175
opponent batting average in 2008

totals they instituted a 60 second
shot clock.
This takes out the tactical abil-
ity to grind the tempo of a game
down if a team is facing a better
offense than they possess.
The most drastic difference is
the inclusion of a two-point shot
in MLL. A 16-yard arch around
the offensive zone makes outside
shooting a commodity in MLL
~and makes comeback attempts
more exciting and spectacular in
the pro game.
This Saturday is an impor-
tant game for both teams. Four
teams, including the Barrage and
the Rattlers, are tied atop the
Eastern Conference standings at
3-2 and both teams will be look-.
ing for a win to get a foothold
in the top of the standings. The
Barrage will want to build on an
overtime victory against Chicago
that occurred last week as well as
avenge their loss to the Rattlers
earlier this season. The Rattlers
are looking to bounce back after
giving New Jersey their first fist
win of the season last week.
Look for the Barrage to get
all-star attack man Ryan Boyle
involved early in the game. He is
one of the best feeders in the game
and crucial to their game plan.
Boyle was held quiet in the.
first meeting between these two
teams and they need him to play
well to keep up with the high-
powered offense of the Rattlers.
The Rattlers will rely on reigning
league MVP John Grant, Jr. and
lefty, sharpshooter Joe Walters
in what should turn out to be a
barnburner. Expect a high-scoring
shootout that should produce some
great goals and a wild finish.

the agreement as an important mile-
stone for the Hurricanes.
The extension of our lease
displays the confidence that. we
have in the growth of hockey in this
market,? said Rutherford in a press
conference last week.
So, would Rutherford have con-
fidence in hockey in NC if they had
not reached a deal?
It seems securing stadium rights
has always been more important than
the teamTs popularity and fan base.
The Charlotte Hornets led the
NBA in attendance in their early
years before fans developed a hatred
for owner George Shinn, who threat-
ened to move the team unless he got
a new stadium.
The city of Charlotte finally
~agreed to a new stadium, but only if
Shinn sold the team. Shinn responded
by packing the franchise up and
moving them to New Orleans, where
the team is now thriving.
The Minnesota Twins flirted
with a move to the triad region of
NC in the mid-1990s, but reached a
stadium deal in the final hour to keep
the team in Minneapolis.
As recently as two years ago, talks
circulated around the Florida Marlins
jumping ship in Miami, with Charlotte
serving as a potential home for the
two-time world champions. This goes
to show that even winning franchises
are not immune from relocation.
The NFL's Baltimore Colts,
a famed and successful franchise,
moved to Indianapolis after the 1983
season. In a bitter departure, the
teamTs property was literally moved
in the middle of the night without
any warning.
Ironically, Baltimore was part
of another hostile transfer, when
ClevelandTs beloved Browns became
the Baltimore Ravens:in 1997.
The San Jose Earthquakes of
Major League Soccer were moved to
Houston to become the Dynamo in
2006 despite having two MLS Cup
The East Carolinian:
_
titles to their name.
Since the move, the Dynamo
has won back-to-back MLS titles,
bringing the franchiseTs champion-
ship tally to four.
~The relocation trend is almost
exclusively indigenous to North
America, especially in the U.S.
In recent years, Liverpool foot-
ball club in England has planned a
move from historic Anfield to a new
70,000-seat stadium.
When matters get complicated,
you donTt hear threats of moving
the team to another city. The idea of
moving a storied football club around
England would be met with the fierc-
est of outrages.
However, two American busi-
nessmen, Tom Hicks and George
Gillett, do lead the club. I wouldnTt
get too comfortable if I were a Reds
~supporter. .
