Currituck Sound Bridge
to host research in a
variety of areas
NIA RICHARDSON
STAFF WRITER
ECU faculty and students
have recently received $927,000
in contracts from the North Caro-
lina Department of@ransporta-
tion TNCDOT and the North
~ Carolina turnpike Authority
to fund engineering, econom-
ical and geographical studies
to assess the building of a new
bridge across the Currituck Sound.
Faculty and students from
the departments of engineering,
geography and the college of
Business are conducting research
studies on the traffic, natural
resources and socio-economic
facets of a seven mile bridge that
will connect across the Currituck
Sound, which flows for 30 miles
between the mainland and the
Outer Banks of North Carolina.
The bridge will direct traffic
from the city of Coinjock, NC to
Outer Banks city of Corolla, NC.
oThe purpose is to provide
improved access to the North
Outer Banks region, ? said Paul
. Kauffman, chair of the engineering
department.
oPeople have had to come pretty
far south and loop back up. It will
basically improve traffic going to
and from that area, T Kauffman said.
Currently travelers are driving
southbound on US 158 to cross the
Wright Memorial Bridge only to
have to drive back up NC 12.
The role that ECU has in the
project is to evaluate the environ-
mental and economic impact that
the bridge will have on the sur-
rounding areas.
The $927,000 in contracts is
the first of $1.7 million that will
be dispersed over a period of three
years from NCDOT Ts federal high-
way apportionment.
oECU Ts role is to be supportive
as a state agency and to conduct
research related to the project Ts
environmental impact statement, ?
said Ernest Marshburn, director
of strategic initiatives in the ECU
Division of Research and Graduate
Studies and ECU project director.
The university Ts involvement
in the project will be a learning .
opportunity for many students in
the schools of engineering, geog-
raphy and economics.
The faculty involved in the
project will use some of the appli-
cation that they use in the field in
their classrooms as well.

North Carolina vulnerable
for active hurricane season
Carteret County named
likely victim of a
hurricane strike
ZACK HILL
SENIOR WRITER
The remains of Tropical Storm
Barry that passed over Greenville
and much of eastern North Caro-
lina a few weeks ago gave a subtle
reminder that hurricane season is
beginning to take off.
This summer is expected to be
extra active, according to sources
such as the National Weather Ser-
vice and Dr. Bill Gray, a scientist
and hurricane expert at Colorado
State University.
Gray has predicted 17 named
storms, with 10 becoming hurricanes,
5 of which were considered major.
oThe average is 10 named
storms, 6 hurricanes and 2 major
hurricanes, ? said Marvin Daugherty,
chief meteorologist for WITN-7.

of geography, said that two main
factors have led to the increase in
predicted hurricanes this year.
oOne is the warmer waters in
the Atlantic, ocean water is the
fuel of the hurricane, ? Curtis said.
oThe second is La Nina or neutral
conditions in the Pacific. ?
La Nina is the cooling of the
Pacific Ocean waters. The cooler
Pacific waters are favorable for a
more active Atlantic season.
La Nina or average water tem-
peratures in the Pacific, coupled with
warmer conditions, make for greater
odds in an increase in the number
and strength of Atlantic storms,
many of which will likely have a
direct effect on North Carolina.
oOne in every three hurricanes
to form will pass within 300 miles
of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, ?
said Philip Williams, chief meteo-
rologist for WNCT-9.
This statement underscores the
fact that North Carolina is particu-
larly vulnerable to hurricanes.
oNorth Carolina Ts geography is
a prime reason we are a target for
hurricanes. Our state juts out into
the Atlantic Ocean, ? Williams said.
Another factor that plays a role in
sending hurricanes towards North
Carolina is atmospheric conditions.
oThe Bermuda high pressure
system provides a steering current
for many storms to move around. It
causes a lot of storms to approach
Florida and then turn northward
toward us, ? Williams said.
Williams also explained that
forecasts might not always be a
perfect indicator of Just how bad a
hurricane season will be.
oFor example, Hurricane
Andrew. ..hit during a year, 1992, that
had a below average number of storms,
but it was one of the worst hurricanes
of all time, ? Williams said.
Though the effects cannot be
predicted, the probability of hur-
ricanes passing over parts of North
Carolina is high this year.

oThere will be more educational

oWe have learners of all
types "not just medical, but many
members of the allied health fields
as well. We anticipate that they
will want to use this facility as
both a training and teaching site, ?
Whatley said.
Sandy Wynn, internal medi-
cal administrator, believes that the
facility will provide extra resources
to hold programs dealing with
substance secession and discus-
sion, especially those dealing with
smoking.
oThe fact that we now have a
conference room opens us up more
to patients and to members of the.

The facility also includes spe-
cialized testing centers, which
allow patients with specific or
critical conditions to receive the
best care possible.
A bronchoscopy suite has been
created for patients with unex-
plained lung problems or possible
lung cancer.
The instruments deal solely
with lung function and include fiber-
optic devices, which travel down
into the lungs and take samples.

Although the database is fully

A linkage between ECU Physi-

may be possible in the future and
could make certain patient referrals
easier to manage.
Most students seen by mem-
bers of ECU Physicians have been

vices, but anyone who would like to

According to Doug Boyd, infor-

Officials stated that the leas-

television news
Information or entertainment?
JARED WOFFORD
* OPINION WRITER
Television is the most powerful medium in American society. By combin-
ing entertainment, information and expression in an outrageously conve-
nient way, it has eclipsed all other forms of media. It is the most accessible
means of mass communication and it is more prevalent today than ever.
Unfortunately, it is through television that Americans get the most of
their news. If you've seen the news lately, this may be alarming. Think about
this: the number of yearly subscriptions to the New York Times is exceeded
by the number of viewers of oThe O TReilly Factor ? in a mere night.
I was sitting on campus in between classes one day when I noticed a
television news program on a set mounted to the wall. At the time, they
were doing a segment on the war on terror, and they were reporting on
some incident in Iraq. The television was muted, but I watched, hoping
that the scrolling headlines typed in caps-lock, combined with the video
footage, would allow me to © gain some insight into what appeared to be a
dramatic event.
After a few seconds, the image changed to one of a group of soldiers
walking with flak vests and assault rifles through what looked like a battle-
ground. The story was becoming more interesting, so I continued to watch
until again, they switched to another video.
This time there were lots of frantic people in a chaotic street scene-- and
there was a car that was on fire. This was getting good!
My curiosity aroused, I tried to wrap my mind around this chain of
events when, once again, they switched to new footage of the incident.
When did they get a tank?
I watched it hastily roll over and through things for a few seconds
before I began to realize that none of the video segments were actually
related to any single event. The images I was eagerly lapping up seemed
to be a highlight reel of disastrous events; the CNN News equivalent to
Sportcenter Ts Top 10.
I was reminded of a local news program I had witnessed a few months
prior about bees.
As you may be aware, the honey bees that help to pollinate many of
our crops have drastically declined in number across the country. This was
news to me at the time, and I stopped as I was walking by the television to
learn more. As the anchor began to recite, I took notice of the image being
displayed in the empty space next to his head.
Framed by a blood-red sky was the silhouette of a mother holding the
hand of her young daughter in some kind of desolate, post-apocalyptic scene.
Next to them was a large honey bee flying away, and I could almost see his
little insect tears. I don Tt know if it is even possible for bees to emote, but this
one certainly seemed betrayed and frightened. The combination of empathy
for this bee and fear of some imminent disaster striking mankind (specifically,
young daughters of America) was enough to make my head spin.
After laughing at the extremity of this picture (and at myself), I thought
about how reckless news programs similar to this are. At the expense of
accuracy and objectivity (two things I would want my news to have), they
make everything sensational to attract viewers. Reporting with such disre-
gard for these basic concepts in journalism is an irresponsible way to use an
extraordinarily powerful tool.
I am aware that these broadcasts are dependent on ratings and revenue,
but I Tve lived in Greenville for four years "it is not a sensational place! I don Tt
rely on local news to entertain me, just as I don Tt need to watch Entertain-
ment Tonight to get my news. I would hope that most people would feel the
same way.
So what is the easiest solution to this problem? Don Tt watch either of
them.

oI believe that a big reason for
people Ts lack of belief in God stems
from the lack of knowledge. At
times it can be hard for people to
believe in something they cannot
physically see with their own eyes, ?
said Nick Jones, ECU Victory
Campus Ministry Leader.
Others disagree with the notion
of a caring, relational God.
oIf a god did exist, and he
created us, it Ts not to say that he
would love or care about what
we do. It would be like plant-
ing a seed. You don Tt control
how the flower grows. The god
solely on themselves to accom-

mistakes and if we completely
rely on ourselves, we set ourselves

Stallings, a 2004 ECU graduate.
However, some believe that just
because they can see the nature
around them doesn Tt mean that
there is a supernatural being.
oI believe in natural selec-
tion. Whenever I look at a flower
or a baby, I cannot explain its
design. I just don Tt know. No one
does. I can Tt say for sure who or
what started it, but it had to come
from somewhere, ? said Jacobs.
The decision of to believe in
God is ultimately left up to each
individual. Sometimes people are

2007 MLB Draft
(SID)--- Shane Mathews, Dale Mollenhauer,
Dustin Sasser and Jason Neitz each heard
their names called Friday afternoon as
they were selected on the second day of
the 2007 Major League Baseball Amateur
Draft.
Mathews, a native of Conover, N.C.,
was selected with the 249th overall pick
in the eighth round by the Baltimore
Orioles. The redshirt junior led C-USA
with 14 saves, total appearances and relief
appearances, while earning first-team All
C-USA accolades and being named to the
2007 C-USA All-Tournament Team.
A 2007 second-team All C-USA infielder,
Mollenhauer was taken with the 539th pick
overall in the 17th round by the Chicago
White Sox. The junior from Gibsonia, Pa.,
who missed 15 games with a hand injury,
led the Bucs with a .329 batting average. In
the field, Mollenhauer moved into second :
place on the schools all-time assist charts
with 486 for his career.
Sasser, a lefty from Pikeville, N.C., was
selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 21st
round (pick 637). He ranked tops among
Pirate starters with a 3.52 ERA and was
second on the club with 68 strikeouts.
Neitz, who ranks fourth all-time in total
appearances at ECU, was picked in the
37th round by the San Francisco Giants
with pick number 1117. The lefty from
Mifflinburg, Pa., appeared in 35 games
posting a 5-2 overall record with a team-
best 2.60 ERA, striking out 40 batters and
walking 20 in 55.1 innings pitched
Mark Thompson Named

resigned earlier this spring to pursue other
opportunities.
oMark and | worked together at the
University of South Carolina for one

great addition to the Pirate family. ?
As the Pirates T director of basketball
operations, Thompson's responsibilities
include handling the program Ts daily

Kinston is a small town with a
population of around 24,000. Here
in the heart of eastern North Caro-
lina, the town has carved out its
own little slice of baseball heaven.
No stores stay open past 8 p.m. and
the streets are dark and quiet.
Where is everyone?
A tall fixture remains alive
in the distance. The sound of the
crowd rumbles steadily, bright
lights illuminate the horizon and .
contrast against the summer night
sky. It Ts all originating from the
historic Grainger Stadium, which
has stood as a landmark in Kinston
since 1949. On this humid summer
night, it beckons the townsfolk
to come and enjoy a night at the
ballpark. Suddenly a thunderous
eruption of cheers carries through
the air as another homerun by the
home team sails over the centerfield
fence. The stadium exploded after
a grand slam in the seventh inning
was followed by the sixth blast
of the night, giving the Indians a
20-4 lead.
Kinston Ts se nature in
baseball hasn Tt wavered through
the years. The Indians have had a
winning record in 25 of the past 29
seasons, and this year isn Tt any dif-
ferent. Kinston has also won eight
league championships and is poised
to make another run, currently
sitting atop the standings of the
Southern Division of the storied
Carolina League.
The Tribe, as fans affectionately
call them, have come a long way from
their humble beginnings as a team
playing without a nickname in 1908
and not cracking the .500 mark until
1934. For over 20 years, Kinston Ts

After concluding the 2006-07
season with an overall record of 6-
24, as well as at the bottom of the
C-USA standings for the second
» consecutive season, the ECU Men Ts
Basketball Program is looking
towards the future.
The future seems to be prom-
\
ising though, as the Pirates will
only say farewell to two members
of this past year Ts squad. One being
starter Courtney Captain, and the
other, reserve junior guard Jeremy
Ingram, who had to conclude his
playing career because of four knee
surgeries in the past four years.
They will bring in a legit, four-
man recruiting class for the 2007-
08 season that consists of Brock
Young, Jontae Sherrod, Jamar
Adams and Daquan Joyner. Young,
who is by far the most heralded of
the group, is listed as the 38" best
point guard in the country by scout.
com. He comes from Broughton
High School in Raleigh, which also
produced former basketball legend
oPistol ? Pete Maravich, as well
as former Duke, and now present
Philadelphia 76ers forward, Shav-
lick Randolph. Young Ts strengths
include his ability to score, which
he did a lot of during his junior
campaign with the Caps, averaging
21.0 ppg and leading them to the
second round of the 4A NCHSAA
playoffs. He is the first ranked
«player the Pirates have been able to
pick up in over five years and also
the first Head Coach Ricky Stokes
has snagged since joining the
Pirates prior to the 2005-06 season.
oWe are thrilled to have who we
believe is the top point guard in the
state, T Stokes said in a statement
released by the ECU Media Rela-
tions Department in November.
oHe is a hard worker and a tre-
mendous competitor with a great
basketball IQ. He is also very fast
and will help us create a more up-
tempo style of play. ?

The Kinston catcher popped-up
quickly but his throw flew wildly into
centerfield as the runner on third
smugly trotted to home plate only
to be tagged-out as he approached.
In what could only be described
as the epitome of a obush-league ?
play, the Kinston team had tricked
the runners by throwing a potato
into the outfield as the catcher held
the ball, knowing the runner on
third would try to score.
A violent reaction occurred
between the players and fans on
each side and the legend of the

tionship with its big league affiliate,
the Cleveland Indians. The Tribe
groomed many current and former
big league standouts.
Notable players such as Albert
Belle, Sean Casey, Bartolo Colon,
Brian Giles, Manny Ramirez,
C.C. Sabathia, Grady Sizemore,
Jim Thome and Luis Gonzalez all
played for Kinston.
Kinston has appeared in the
Carolina League Championship
Series for three straight years. Last
year, the Tribe swept the Frederick
Keys in threé games, winning the
Mills Cup for the second time in
three years. They also won the
Advanced Class A Team of the Year
Award from both Minor League
Baseball and Baseball America.
Approaching the tall front gate
of the stadium, fans enter to the
sight of a large billboard with a
huge picture of the team hoisting the
championship trophy. The billboard
reads: Grainger Stadium, Home of
the Kinston Indians, 2006 Carolina
League Champs. Hundreds of fans
hustle trying to grab a hot dog and
seat before the first pitch.
Walking up the breezeway to
the bleachers to take a seat, music
plays on the loudspeakers as fans
sing along. People of all ages make
up the faces in. the bleachers; kids
run around with giant foam hands
on one arm and a box of popcorn
in the other, little-leaguers stand
along the first and third baseline
seats pounding their gloves, wait-
ing anxiously for a fly ball, par-
ents sit and chat with one another
and clap as the home team takes
the field and older gentlemen sit
together and discuss the team,
who Ts hot and who Ts not and which
of the Indian players is going to
make it to the big show.
The atmosphere in the stands
is cozy and inviting, and there isn Tt
a bad seat in the house. The large
green overhang above the bleachers
shades fans from the sun during
day games and sets the mood with
florescent lights at night.
Along the sidelines there are
more bleachers and a picnic area,
where parents relax and kids play.

that has created this beloved game.
In right field, the scoreboard
lights up brightly, posting run
after run in a six-run first inning,
making the fans cheer loudly as
the Indians dismantle the oppos-
ing team Ts pitching. The offensive
onslaught by Kinston doesn Tt waver,
as it puts up four more runs in both
the second and third innings.
As the game continues, the
competitive nature of the Kinston
fans is still prevalent. Even when
their team holds a double-digit
lead, the fans jeer and yell at the
umpire to call strikes and cheer
wildly for each Indian hitter step-
ping into the box.
They don Tt want this night to
end. The score continues to grow
to a 21-6 lead but that isn Tt enough
to quench the fan Ts thirst for the
Pelicans T blood. The team from
Myrtle Beach had abruptly ended
Kinston Ts eight-game win streak
rallying in the ninth inning for a 11-
10 win the night before and tonight
they are paying for their misdeeds.
Despite the lop-sided score, the sta-
dium was still half full in the ninth
inning and the game ended with a
standing ovation from the crowd,
congratulating the Indians on their
impressive display of firepower.
oWith no MLB franchise in the
state, North Carolina is known
for being mostly oaction-sports ?
country. Most sports fans watch
NFL Football or College Basketball
and more recently, the NHL. Many
people don Tt enjoy watching base-
ball games. They say, oIt Ts boring ?.
In some ways they may be right.
You won't get the same atmo-
sphere of watching the Panthers
play the Falcons at. Bank of Amer-
ica Stadium on Monday night or
the excitement of a Duke-Caro-
lina basketball game, but people
don Tt come to watch Kinston
Indian baseball for that.
Being at the ballpark as a true
fan is something special that not
everyone experiences the same way.
For the casual fan they will have a
fun and entertaining time, but real
baseball fans find their joy through
the intricacies of the game. For
them, keeping track of pitch counts
. and averages, and understanding
all the different situations is what
makes the game exciting.
For the people who have
played the game, it is an even
more meaningful experience.
The smell of freshly cut grass,
the crack of the bat and watching
the players on the field reminds
ex-players of the times when they
stood out on the diamond and
heard the cheers of the crowd,
back when they used to be the
one to make the plays, and that Ts
a special feeling.
If you live in eastern North Car-
olina and are a true fan of the game,
or if you are just a casual fan that
is looking for a fun time during the
lazy days of summer, then Grainger
Stadium is the place to be.
The Kinston Indians are a great
franchise and they have created a
special atmosphere and experience
that casual fans and baseball purists
alike can both enjoy.

mitted to the T Pirates primarily to
stay close to home. Sherrod, like
Young, seems to be a prolific scorer,
as he racked up 23.0 ppg his junior
season and was the first member
of the class to verbally commit.
oJontae is another athletic and
versatile player that can score
and play both guard positions, ?
said Stokes in the statement.
oHe attended our team camp this
summer and made a great impres-
sion upon us.
The third member of the 07
class is 6-foot-5 Virginian wing
Jamar Abrams. Abrams commit-
ted to the Pirates despite receiving
heavy interest from two mid-major
schools close to his home, Richmond
and Virginia Commonwealth. .
oJamar is a splendid shooter
that gives us additional size in
the backcourt, ? Stokes said in
the statement. oHe is an athletic
player that can play a variety
of positions. He has the ability
to go inside, but his shooting
range is his biggest strength. ?
Abrams averaged 14.7 ppg as a
Junior and is the only member of the
class coming from outside of NC.
Last, but certainly not least,
the Pirates signed 6-foot-6 for-
ward Daquan Joyner. Joyner,
who was the last member of this
talented group to verbally commit,
played his high school ball at
Goldsboro where he piled up
averages of 18.1 ppg and 12.2
rpg during the 2005-06 season.
oDaquan is going to be a great
addition to our frontcourt, ? said
Stokes in the statement. oHe is
an excellent rebounder that also
has great shooting range. His
overall athleticism is his great-
est asset and we certainly look
forward to him making valuable
contributions to our program. ?
Appalachian State, Delaware,
South Carolina, UNC-Greensboro
and Wake Forest were all other
schools that showed strong interest
in Joyner before he.gave Stokes his ,
third and final in-state commit-
ment for the 2007 class.
oOverall this class is very ver-
satile and athletic which will help -
greatly improve our program, ?
said Stokes in the statement. oWe
are delighted with the decision of
each of these young men to attend
East Carolina. Each player was a
top priority for us and I know our
fans will enjoy watching them play
and getting to know them. ?
The 2007-08 Pirates should
contain a solid nucleus and be much
improved, with Stokes having by
far his most experienced team since
arriving in Greenville. The team
will consist of five freshmen, seven
sophomores, two juniors and two
seniors. The seven sophomores
are Gabe Blair, James Dillard,
Brandon Evans, John Fields, Justin
Ramsey, Greyson Sargent. Chad
Wynn, 6-foot-10, center, will be a
redshirt freshman and Sam Hin-
nant and Josh Sweeley are the two
Juniors: Finally, Taylor Gagnon
and Darrell Jenkins make up the
senior class.
Special Note: Stokes stated
a week ago today that James
Legan, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound
guard, who spent his freshman
and sophomore seasons play-
ing at Lon Morris Junior Col-
lege located in Jacksonville,
Texas, recently signed a National
Letter of Intent with the Pirates.
oWe are elated to have James
Legan joining our program, ?
said Stokes in a separate state-
ment released by the Media Rela-
tions Department. oHe is a very
good shooter with exceptional
range and the ability to finish
in the paint. James will have
a chance to come in and make
an immediate contribution. ?
Logan, who averaged 14.9 ppg
and 4.5 rpg last season, will have
two years of eligibility remaining.
