STAFF WRITER
ECU faculty members Dr.
Carolyn Ledford and Dr. Betty
Peel along with Pam Justasen, local
Pitt County Talented and Gifted
[TAG] teacher, embarked on a
recent trip to Hiroshima, Japan, for
an international exchange program.
The exchange is for select teach-
ers of American schools to visit differ-
ent Japanese schools and vice-versa,
in order to learn more about the
other country Ts education practices.
The exchange is part of an accord
established between three universi-
ties in Japan and three universi-
ties in the United States. In Japan,
Osaka Kyoiku University, Hiroshima
University and Naruto Kyoiku
University are participating in the
exchange. Local participants of
GPSC include Western Carolina

SENIOR WRITER
A federal grant was awarded to
Linda Steele, associate professor and
director of the adult family nurse
practitioner concentration, last
week to help increase the access and
quality of health care to poor, rural
eastern North Carolina counties.
The grant, obtained on the fed-
eral level; comes from the Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services
Health Resources and Services
Administration.
oTm stunned. It was very com-
petitive this year. I have a lot of
colleagues that didn Tt get funding, �
Steele said. :
oTt'sagreathonor that they thought
our project was worthy of funding. �
The grant will provide
$282,330 for the first year,
renewable for $227,506 the
second year and $207,565 the
third year.
Steele said that the project has
three goals in which the grant will
be used for.
oFirst is to increase the number
and diversity of nurse practitioner
students coming into the program, �
Steele said.
Thesecond of the three goalsis to
continue to develop the virtual clinic.
oIt Ts really an awesome thing.
It Ts a high tech, state of the art
simulation for students, similar
to going to see actual patients, �
Steele said.
The third is to establish a site

third annual
Summer Institute
Teachers prepare for AP
curriculum
NIA RICHARDSON
STAFF WRITER
ECU College of Education
is currently hosting the third
Advanced Placement [AP]
Summer Institute for teachers at
South Central High School from
_July 25-29 and July 2-3.
The AP Summer Institute is
compiled of sessions in which teach-
ers gain experience in the content
of advanced placement courses
that they will teach to high school
students.
Teachers will receive training
from College Board consultants who
are experts in AP course subjects
including calculus, English, envi-
ronmental science, European his-
tory and government and politics.
While the program is not
required, the Institute is beneficial
to both new and more experienced
teachers, as they are exposed to
new methods of teaching as well as
changes to the AP curriculum.
oThey often praise the con-
sultants for giving them greater
insight into their own content
and exposing them to innovative
instructional techniques.
oMost AP teachers realize it is
a continual learning process and
they are eager to go to sessions to
learn new material or exchange
ideas about better teaching meth-
ods, said Margaret Wirth, direc-
tor of the institute and instructor
in the College of Education.
_ Teachers are allowed to choose
a school that offers an Institute
program that fits their needs.
However, ECU is one of the few
colleges across the country to
host a site for the AP Summer
Institute endorsed by the College
Board. Due to this, teachers from
various parts of the country are
traveling to ECU.
oWe try to cater to our own NC
eastern regional teachers needs in
choosing our offered courses each
year but we still attract teachers
from all over the US, Wirth said.
A benefit for teachers is that the

and East Carolina University.
The purpose of the trip is to help
educators from each country under-
stand and share experiences with
each other.
This is not the only time Ledford
has taken the trip to learn more about
education in Japan.
Traveling back and forth since
1999, she has brought groups of stu-
dents, faculty and various Pitt County
teachers along: to share this fruitful
experience. The trip has proven to
positively benefit the education in
American schools.
oIt opens up so many perspectives
on teaching and brings new ideas into
our schools. �
Hannah Boettcher, elementary
education major, said.
Many people believe that travel-
ing to Japan in the interest of educa-
tion has many advantages.
oT think the exchange is a great
idea because when people go and

experience something different they
are able to use these experiences
and share them with others. It takes
things outside the box and that can
be so important when teaching, �
Hannah Boettcher, fellow education
major, said.
Another part of the exchange
includes presentations by each of the
three teachers, with Ledford and Peel
presenting together. They created a
slideshow on oBecoming a Teacher, �
familiarizing their colleagues with
ECU Ts Elementary Education Pro-
gram.
Justasen presented a discussion on
Curriculum Compacting.
Ledford also presented a segment
on Global Education to the attendants
of the Global Partnership School
Center [GPSC] School Exchange
International Forum.
Though the ECU teacher trip to
Japan has been concluded, students
and faculty. of Hiroshima University
are scheduled to visit ECU in Septem-
ber, according to Ledford. Mainly grad-
uate and English students from Japan
will be visiting to exchange educational
experiences with students here.
Already, teachers have been posi-
tively affected by the most recent trip
to Japan.
Ledford in particular was motivated
to share with local students a quote she
saw written on a wall of an elementary
school in Japan.
oWe are all one people under the
same sun, and I certainly believe that
is true, T Ledford added after reciting
the quote.
The exchange program has been
and will continue to be a wonderful
tool in increasing the appreciation
of other cultures T education systems
and in providing teachers with new
inspirations in the classroom.

Steele said that the nurse practitio-_
ners coming out of the program will go
into othe rural and poor areas that lack
health care in this part of the state. �
oT think it [the grant] speaks well
of ECU. The university itself and the
Al
nursing program are held in high

grant funding reinforces that, T Steele
said.
Eastern North Carolina has
problems with adequate health care

According to an article pub-

Administrative changes
announced at ECU
Dr. Marilyn Sheerer, vice chancellor for
' student life at East Carolina University
and a veteran campus leader, has been
named interim provost and vice chancellor
for academic affairs for a two-year period,
beginning July 1.
Chancellor Steve Ballard said, oMarilyn
Sheerer is one of the ablest higher educa-
tion administrators in the country. She has
a well-earned reputation for innovation,
effectiveness and decisiveness, and I am
delighted that she has accepted this new
: assignment. �
Ballard said Sheerer Ts new position is part of a number of organi-
zational and personnel changes designed to provide an enhanced
student experience at ECU. oMarilyn has my complete confidence in
her ability to carry out the changes that we need to make to move
ECU forward, � he said.
The university will conduct a national search for a provost, begin-
ning in the fall of 2008, and Sheerer is welcome to be a candidate,
Ballard said.
The chancellor said the university Ts onew directions emphasize
integration, efficiency, the whole student, the concept of a leadership
university, and new signature programs that speak to the core mis-
sion of ECU. �
oIt is time for ECU to speak boldly about where it is going and
what it wants to accomplish, � Ballard said. oWe must create vehicles
and accountability measures to enhance quality, create change and
respond to the needs of Eastern North Carolina. �
Ballard said the changes are in keeping with the university's stra-
tegic initiatives as well as those of Erskine Bowles, president of the
University of North Carolina system.
Other changes announced by Ballard include:
° The divisions of academic affairs and student life will be
combined into a single unit under the supervision of the provost. A
new position of vice provost for student life will be created to provide
day-to-day oversight for functions in that area.
° Dr. Judith I. Bailey, a former president of Western Michigan
University and Northern Michigan University, has been named senior
executive director of enrollment management for a one-year term. This
is a new position, and she will be charged with developing initiatives
to attract, enroll and retain students at ECU, and she will oversee
the offices of admissions, financial aid, registrar, and first-year center,
which includes new-student orientation and advising and freshman
seminars. Those operations were previously housed in the academic
affairs division. Bailey, a former professor of education and a former
provost, will not be a candidate for the permanent position, which will
report to the chancellor.
° Claudia McCann, director of institutional research and test-
ing, has been appointed interim director of the office of institutional
planning, research and effectiveness, which will move from the aca-
demic affairs division to the chancellor Ts division.
Sheerer joined ECU as a faculty member in 1996 and was named
dean of education in 1998. Under her leadership, the College of Edu-
_ cation won several national awards. She has been vice chancellor for
student.life since last summer, and she has also served as interim vice
chancellor for university advancement. As provost, she succeeds Dr.
James LeRoy Smith, who announced this month that he will step down
from the position to return to teaching.
Sheerer said, oECU is a dynamic, exciting institution. I am fortu-
nate to have the opportunity to work closely with our superb faculty
and deans as we enter our second century. It is because of them that
we will continue to be able to make such a difference for this region
and this state. �
Sheerer holds a bachelor Ts degree from Bloomsburg State College
in Pennsylvania, a master Ts in student personnel in higher education
from Syracuse University, and a Ph.D. in curriculum and supervision
from Ohio University. Before joining ECU, she held student life posi-
tions at Temple University and faculty and administrative positions
at National-Louis University in Chicago, Ohio University, Edinboro
University in Pennsylvania and Northern IIlinois University.

Opinion
Do the light thing
Changing a light bulb could decrease global warming
(MCT)-Fluorescent light bulbs use 75 percent less energy than
the familiar incandescent bulbs found in most living rooms. Fluores-
cents also last up to 10 times longer than incandescents. And because
they draw less juice from power plants, they indirectly contribute
lower greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. A single fluo-
rescent bulb can save about $30 in electrical and replacement costs
over its multiyear lifetime _ assuming the dog doesn Tt knock over
the lamp.
So why hasn Tt everyone switched to fluorescents? Because they
are ugly, they cast a harsh and unforgiving light, and they cost eight
times as much up front.
People who cae about global warming _ or about energy costs _
are working to overcome those product shortfalls. The U.S. Depart-
ment of Energy notes that if each American household replaced just
one incandescent bulb with a fluorescent, we Td save enough energy
to light 2.5 million homes for a year ee greenhouse gases
equivalent to the emissions of 800,006 cars. Still, fluorescents rep-
resent less than 6 percent of the light bulbs sold last year.
A number of local and state governments have already made the
change in their buildings. Taxpayers should appreciate the savings,
and most people don Tt care if the lighting is harsh at the driver Ts
license facilities, anyway. But how do you get individuals and com-
panies to switch?
You can send a oe brigade into homes to swap bulbs, as Fidel
Castro did in Cuba. You can offer instant rebates to encourage shop-
pers to buy fluorescents, as Maine Ts Public Utilities Commission has
done. Or you can try to pass a law against incandescent bulbs and be
done with it, California-style. The proposed How Many Legislators
Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb Act (yes, that Ts its proper name)
would ban incandescents in California by 2012. Australia already has
adopted a similar measure.
This seems heavy-handed and unnecessary, especially since the
fluorescent bandwagonis starting to roll on its own. In Connecticut,
_the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life celebrated Hanuk-
kah _ the Festival of Lights _ by helping congregations convert to
fluorescent. Countless green groups across the country are encourag-
ing people to change their bulbs as well.
So how many legislators does it take to change a light bulb? Zero
_ unless you think only government mandates can motivate positive
changes in our buying behavior.
Education, encouragement and incentives will lead us to the light.
Let Ts hope it Ts a little more flattering by the time we get there.

Your message is getting out. Your good
reputation is growing. Don Tt make your life
more difficult with a silly financial decision.
Taurus
Put together a group who can help you
accomplish your objectives. Think of a
reason they'll want to help out. Let them
know what's in it for them.
Gemini
Your adversary has the advantage now,
so be careful. Your partner can be more
effective in this situation than you can be.
Cancer
There Ts lots of work but you're enthused.
You make it look easy. It is getting easier
partially due to your excellent attitude.
Leo
The pressure has eased; you'll finally get
to rest your weary head. Having made
it this far constitutes a win. Be proud of
yourself.
Virgo
Clean up your place and get rid of the stuff
you're not using any more. Get it fixed up
so you can have ore over.
Libra
You're not earning quite as much as you
were just the other day. This is your clue
to keep studying and increasing your
knowledge.
Scorpio
You're especially brilliant now, especially
when doing business. If you don Tt already

Sagittarius
You're getting better looking every moment.
You can talk a leopard out of his spots. Be

A meeting goes very well. There are lots

It is hard to meet a Communi-

something from the valuable les-
sons taught by Dr. Laura Prividera.
Born and raised in Albany, New
York, Prividera spent most of her life
dedicated to the helping of others by
the gaining and giving of education.
oWhen I was growing up I
was always interested in helping
people and making a difference in
the world, � Prividera said. oAs I
got older, making a difference [in -
the world] became that much more
important to me. �
It was this ambition that led
Prividera to challenge herself
through education. Upon graduat-
ing high school, Prividera enrolled
in the University of Albany. She
choose the school because of its
proximity to home and because it
had a great school of business.
oI was very interested in pre-
paring for a career, and I felt that
the University of Albany was a
great school for which to do that, �
said Prividera.
Besides preparing for a
career, Prividera also found time
to enjoy the other things that
come with college. She describes
her time at Albany as a time
of deep educational exploration.
Prividera also felt that she grew
both personally and profession-
ally during her time at Albany.
This growth had not yet peaked
when Prividera graduated from
Albany in 1993 with a Bachelor Ts

Stephen King instills fear in audiences
Master of horror
delivers again
BEN HARRIS
STAFF WRITER
Before this summer,
I had the depressing
notion that the horror
genre was dead. Over-
used plots and terrible
remakes plagued what
was once an amaz-
ing part of the film
industry.
Thankfully, this
year has restored my
faith in horror. The
release of 1408 proved
that Hollywood could
still make a great
horror film that didn Tt
rely on cheap closet
monsters or cheesy desert mutants
for entertainment.
1408, directed by Mikael Haf-
strom and written by Matt Green-
berg, is based on a short story
written by Stephen King. The plot
follows the often-used format of a
person trapped in a haunted hotel.
However, King takes the concept to
a. whole new and terrifying level.
Mike Enslin, played marvel-
Contributed Image
ously by John Cusack, is a horror
writer who makes a living inking
out embellished guides to haunted
locations in America. When he
is called into investigating room
1408 at the Dolphin Hotel in New
York City, he arrives thinking that
it is going to be another wild goose
chase.
Despite warnings from the
hotel manager, played by Samuel
L. Jackson, not to
stay in the room,
Enslin finds out that
real thing after all.
Besides the
main story of the
horror Mike expe-
riences in the hotel
room, 1408 deliv-
ers a well-developed
background into
Mike Ts family life.
Along with offer-
ing a much-needed
break from the main
action, the family
life of Mike helps
the viewer to under-
stand why Mike has
the cynical men-
tality that he con-
stantly displays.
The movie is
shot extremely well.
The cinematography and the direc-
tion both add to the already creepy
storyline. The hotel is essentially a
relic of the jazz age. The wide halls,
dark paint and gray atmosphere

RESUME continued from page 7
address each employer and posi-
tion applied for. This means not
giving the same resume out for
multiple jobs.
A good resume should include
an objective. The objective needs
to have at least three of four
things: a specific Job title, the
industry one is interested in,
what one plans to do and key
tasks.
Also included should be a
capabilities profile. This is essen-
tially a list of abilities that the
potential employee possesses. To
create this, a great resource is
available online at online.onet-
center.org. Here, one can find
occupations they are interested
in and review the typical respon-
sibilities of those positions. By
condensing these phrases into
tasks, one can create a capabilities
profile of possessed skills that
would be valuable to the employer.
Furthermore, all information
classroom experience are one Ts
greatest asset, education should
be first; included would be a list
of selected coursework. But if
someone has experiences in the
particular field, it needs to be
positioned first. The resume can
also include short examples of key
accomplishments in classroom
or work experience; let employ-
ers see contributions to projects
or problem-solving experiences.
Don Tt include unnecessary
information; unrelated work
experience should be deleted or
given little prominence. Only
include the information if the
gained skills would be valuable
to the employer. Even in this
case, one should include it after
the more important information.
Remember, aesthetics matter.
A resume should be neat and easy
to read. As always, pay special
attention to spelling and gram-
mar.
As an ECU student or
alumnus, there is a wonder-
ful resource available for assis-
.tance: the Career Center. One
can schedule an appointment to
get help with such tasks as revis-
ing or crafting a solid resume.
In addition, the Career Center
has liaisons for each college
or school at ECU, so students
have the option of seeing some-
one who is specifically expe-
rienced in their degree area.
In such a meeting at the
» Career Center, valuable informa-
tion is shared about what employ-
BESIDE PITT in a resume should be arranged ers are looking for and how to

PRIVADERA continued from page 7
Dr. Privadera delights students with her fresh approach to scholarly topics.
and filing forms, Prividera began
to reflect on communication and its
impact on the corporate world.
oIt was at KPMG tthat I first
realized that being a certified
public accountant wasn Tt for me.
I knew this other path that I was
about to travel on was going to
lead me to. develop my education
further, � said Prividera.
In the interest of further educa-
tion, Prividera enrolled in Bowling
Green University in Ohio to begin
work on her Master Ts in Interper-
sonal Communication.
Upon completing her Master Ts
in 1998, Prividera stayed at Bowling
Green to begin her work on her PhD.
Also around the time, she
became interested in teaching. She
spent the latter part of her PhD
work using her graduate assistant-
ship to teach students.
oThe graduate assistantship
was a great opportunity because it
allowed me to teach and it waived
my tuition, � explained Prividera.
After graduation in 2002 with
her PhD, Prividera spent two years
teaching full-time at Bowling
Green before she made the move
to North Carolina.
It was then that Prividera, along
with husband and fellow ECU pro-
fessor Dr. John Howard, left the
cool climate of the Northeast for
the warm humid climate of eastern
North Carolina to teach at ECU.
Prividera stated that she liked
ECU because it offered a broad-
based communications program
~ and she was impressed with the stu-
dents. She was also enticed with the
9 prospect of having a hand in creat-
% ing the School of Communication Ts
= graduate program.
2 oT feel like I have really grown
8 and developed. I have wonderful
© coworkers, I teach a great curricu-
lum, both in the graduate and under-
graduate programs, and I love the
variety that comes with teaching
at a university, � Prividera stated.
As far as future plans go, Priv-
idera hopes to continue her research
on interpersonal communication
and gender communication.
This ambitious and well-edu-
cated professor has already been
established as a proficient and
engaging professor, as well an inno-
vative faculty member at ECU who
is just getting started in making the
communication program stronger.

Cusack delivers one of the
better horror performances in a
while, acting with the emotion and
concentration that only a veteran
actor of his standing could pull off.
Cusack is flanked by an impres-
sive supporting cast, with Mary
McCormack playing Mike Ts wife
Lily, and Jasmine Jessica Anthony
playing Mike Ts daughter Katie.
Each actress delivers outstanding
performances. Anthony shows that
she has the skills to potentially
become an outstanding child actor
of her generation.
1408 marks the glorious return
of King to cinema. The film contains
all of the essential ingredients for
a classic horror movie, including a
great storyline, amazing directing,
and skillful acting. This film will
undoubtedly join other King classics
such as Misery and The Shining in
the exclusive club of horror greats.

Youth baseball is on the
decline for the most part in this
country, but not in Greenville.
The Greenville Little League
is thriving thanks to exten-
sive support from the Univer-
sity and local community.
At first glance, the League Ts
Elm Street Park passes as a minia-
ture minor league park; complete
with bullpens beside each dugout,
lusciously kept grass, a public
address system, three flagpoles
at dead center flying the Little
League, and advertisement plac-
ards adorned on the scoreboard,
along the entire outfield fence,
and behind the bleachers in right
field. The ads are not just for
local car dealerships, dentists,
furniture stores, optometrists,
attorneys and dentists, but also
for sandwich and pizza chains,
soft drinks, gas stations, banks
and health insurance providers.

STAFF WRITER
As a college town, Greenville
is generally much quieter in the
summer than during the regular
school year. However, this summer,
Minges Coliseum brought some life
back into the town last week when
Ricky Stokes conducted his third
annual basketball camp since being
named Head Coach of the ECU
Men Ts Basketball program in 2005.
oCamps are exciting, � Stokes
said. oI can go back and remember
when I was young and a camper a
long time ago. It Ts fun learning the
skills and making new friends, bas-
ketball is a fun sport so it Ts great. �
The camp ages range from 7-17
and the campers meet Monday-
Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., except on
Friday, when camp concludes at noon.
Stokes is impressed with how
the camp has grown and improved
over his three-year tenure.
oI like to see kids come back
each year, � he said. oYou get a
chance to see how much they have
learned. When kids come back it
means you know you are doing
something right too. I enjoy seeing
how much they have grown from
one year to another. �
One of Stokes T three senior
players, Taylor Gagnon, agrees.
oThe first year, I know the
numbers were real low, � Gagnon
said, onow the same kids are coming
back, and then they tell their
friends about it. I know it Ts inéreas-
ing each year. �
The ECU players provide
Stokes with plenty of support each
year the camp runs.
oWe have a lot of our players
working as refs, coaching and
teaching drills, � said Stokes. oWe're
such a fan friendly team that I
think the campers really enjoy the
chance to meet a Taylor Gagnon,
Brandon Evans, Cory Farmer,
Greyson Sargent etc. So it Ts really
important for them to be here, the
players really enjoy working with
young kids as well. � Gagnon has
had a great experience coaching at
the camp the past couple years, and
might want to do:similar things in
the future.

ECU football ticket
sales approaching
unprecedented territory
(SID) -For the first time in
school history, the ECU Depart-
ment of Athletics is nearing a
. sell-out of its entire football season
ticket allotment.
With more than 18,000 season
tickets already ordered, ECU now
has less than 4,000 season tickets
available with over two months
remaining prior to the Pirates T
home opener against North Caro-
lina Sept. 8.
Since surpassing ECU Ts previ-
ous all-time high in season tickets
sales on May 16, the demand for
Pirate football season tickets has
continued its brisk climb with 1,800
more season tickets sold.
oAt the pace we are going, we
will not have any individual game
tickets available for the UNC, N.C.
State and Southern Miss games, �
Assistant Director of Athletics for
Tickets & Marketing Scott Wether-
bee said. oIf fans haven Tt purchased
season tickets or if Pirate Club
members need additional tickets for
UNC or N.C. State, we strongly rec-
ommend that they buy season tick-
ets to guarantee ticket availability. �
ECU set an all-time high of
16,318 purchases last year in Skip ©
Holtz T second season guiding the
Pirates, surpassing the previous stan-
dard of 16,173 established in 2000.
Due to the high demand for
season tickets, individual home
game tickets will not be made avail-
able until August.
Any remaining tickets will
be sold to Pirate Club members
first and will be assigned using
the Pirate Club Ts Priority Point
System.
For membership information,
which includes a.list of many
additional benefits, prospective
new fans are encouraged to call

kids just love it. �
The placards along the fence that
are most indicative of the leagues T
success are the Sports Illustrated
oSports Town USA T sign and the one
in right field that denotes the achieve-
ments of the 1998 Greenville team
that finished first in the south, second
in the U.S. and third in the world at
the Little League World Series.
The Greenville Little League Ts
success didn Tt happen overnight.
Weingartz shrugs off
credit and gives it to the
past and present community.
oBasically we've maintained what
was established before I ever showed
up in this town, � he said. oLittle League
has always been a big deal here. �
The league dates back to 1951,
when the North State League began
to play. Three years later, the Tar
Heel League formed. Each eight-
.team league is operated identically.
Monday night, the champion of
each league was determined. They
include North Care in the Tar Heel,
as well as the Host Lions in the
North State, who will begin a best
of three series tonight to establish
the victors of the city championship.
Baseball Ts importance and the
leagues T successalso derives from ECU.
oA good number of our umpires
and coaches are ECU students or were
ECU students from the Department
of Campus Recreation and Wellness, �
Weingartz said. oPirate baseball is a
big deal to a lot of the players, some
of them have season tickets and their
parents are members of the Pirate
Club, we have a lot of connections [to
the athletic department ]. �
Weingartz himself is involved
with Pirate athletics. He controls
the play clock at Pirate football
games and the'scoreboard at Men Ts
and Women Ts basketball games.
Weingartz credits the cur-
rent bloom of youth baseball in
Greenville to J.H. Rose Head Base-
ball Coach Ronald Vincent.
oThe number one reason why
baseball in Greenville is such a
big deal is Ronald Vincent, � said
Weingartz. oHe knows all these
kids, he works with them, he runs
camps all summer, and the kids
love him. �
Vincent has the most wins of
any high school baseball coach in
North Carolina history.
oCoach Vincent] is the person
that just fosters the love for base-
ball in this community, and he Ts a
better person than he is baseball
coach, � said Weingartz.
But why else does the
Greenville Little League flourish
while youth baseball flounders
elsewhere?
oT think what happened with
baseball is that a lot of communi-
ties have just priced kids out of it, �
Weingartz said.
While other leagues charge
hundreds of dollars a year for
kids to play, the Greenville Little
League only requires $65 and kids
whose families can Tt afford it still
get to play.
oWe have a no-questions-asked
id aleXetskomers) celilaltslamecelaa
rant, rave, read
policy that if you can Tt pay you play
anyway, � said Weingartz oMost
people are happy to write a check
to put their kids in uniform for
22 games but there are some that
simply can Tt afford it. �
That Ts where the sponsorships
and advertisements come into play.
oWe're able to do that because
of the support from the community,
that Ts why you see all these signs.
oCommunity support is my
answer for a lot of things in this
program, we wouldn't have a shot
if we didn Tt have businesses and
individuals that gave so much to
this program, � said Weingartz.
Once the city champion is
determined, the league will select
an all star team to represent in
district competition, where suc-
cess could lead to state, regional
and World Series play.
The Greenville Little League
will play host to the 11 and 12-
year-old state tournament July 21
at the Elm Street Ballpark.
oWe're real excited, it Ts the
first time we've had it in 13 years, �
said Weingartz.
It is evident from the ballparks
pristine condition that Weingartz T
work with the Greenville Little
League is.a labor of love.
oThis park is really my favorite
place in the entire world, � he said.
oThe kids probably feel the same
way too. �

Bobcats looking for front court help in tomorrow Ts dratt
Corey Brewer could be on his way to Charlotte after winning two national
championships at the University of Florida.
AP
(AP) - In last year Ts NBA draft,
the Charlotte Bobcats took a good
perimeter shooter without great
athletic skill who was a suspect
defender.
If new coach Sam Vincent has
his way, the Bobcats will take the
anti-Adam Morrison with the
eighth pick in Thursday Ts draft.
oI would say we're looking
for a big, an athletic big who has
low post scoring, that gives us
the ability to get the ball inside
a little bit more, � Vincent said
Monday.
A month into his first NBA
head coaching job, Vincent has
quickly put his mark on the team.
He got Morrison and point guard
Raymond Felton to agree to play
in next month Ts summer league in
Orlando. He Ts been prodding play-
ers to stay in shape and encourag-
ing them to work out in Charlotte
this summer.
oEvery team I Tve ever coached
has always been well conditioned
and good on defense, � Vincent
said. oThose are a couple of things
that would be priorities for me. �
The Bobcats are expected
to have choices in getting
help for power forward Emeka
Okafor in the frontcourt.

Brandan Wright of North
Carolina is expected to be gone
before the eighth pick, but three
other all athletic forwards could
be available: Florida Ts Corey
Brewer, Florida State Ts Al Thorn-
ton and Georgetown Ts Jeff Green.
When asked Monday what
players impressed him in pre-draft
workouts, Vincent quickly brought
up Brewer, who isn Tt known as a
low-post scorer.
oHe Ts not a big muscle guy, but a
great defender, playing multiple posi-
tions, good shooter, � Vincent said.
Thornton is a stronger inside
presence and a better rebounder,
two areas the Bobcats struggled
in last season. :
Green Ts stock has risen as of
late. He canceled a workout with
Charlotte this week, apparently
thinking he Tll be taken before No. 8.
oIfsome teams are saying, Hey,
if you're available, we're going to
take you No. 4, T there Ts nothing we
can do about that, � Vincent said.
While part-owner Michael
Jordan will make the final call on
draft picks, Vincent has taken an
active role in pre-draft workouts.
The Bobcats, who also hold
the 22nd pick, have auditioned
more than two dozen players.
Small forwards Marcus Williams
of Arizona, Arron Afflalo of
UCLA and Alando Tucker of Wis-
consin _ all projected to be late
first-round or second-round picks
_ were in town Monday. Tucker
aggravated a strained calf muscle
and couldn Tt complete the workout.
oThe coaches in this one
were a lot more involved as far
as motivating, � said Williams,
who has worked out for 10 teams.
oWe were going from one drill
to the next and making sure you
jog to the next drill. Some of them
will let you get away with a little
more. This one was intense. It was
always game moves, game speed. �
Two years ago when the Bob-
cats had two first-round picks,
they took a guard (Felton) and
a power forward (Sean May).
Vincent said the team Ts second-
ary need is backcourt court,
but that doesn Tt mean the Bob-
cats will take a guard with the
22nd pick.
oI won't necessarily say that
it will be small, big. It will be
based on need, need, � Vincent said.
oWere looking at filling the gaps
to make our team stronger versus
trying to make sure it Ts balanced
out, big, small. �
