Opinion |911: used and abusedOr call someone whocaresJ.D. LEWISOPINION EDITORBefore leaving the workforceand returning to college full-time,I spent eight years as a 911 opera-tor. A local newspaper reporterand I were once going to team upand write an exposé of the publicabuse of the 911 system, but mythen-supervisor quickly dismissedthe idea because, in his view, abuseisn't that big of a problem.?That is easy to say when youre notthe one sitting in the communicationscenter for 12 hours dealing with it.Out of compassion for dispatch-ers everywhere, it is time to say somethings that have long needed to besaid. 911 is for emergencies only.It is not to find out if your favor-ite officer is on duty; to inquire ifsome useless relative is in jail; ifthe police have a warrant for yourarrest or to report power outages.Yes, these are all inconveniences,but hardly emergencies.Do not call 911 to ask for thenumber to the jail or anywhereelse. It is not 411. The nine andthe four are diagonal from eachother on totally opposite sides ofthe keypad. No matter how hardyou try, you are not going to hitthe nine by mistake when goingfor the four.A frequent response to 911? isIve got the wrong number.? No,911 is only three numbers, and fora wrong number you need at leastfour more.As equally unfathomable as thewhole wrong number bit, is theoutright denial. ,I didnt call 911.?You obviously did, or I wouldn'thave answered and said 911.?This ain't really an emer-gency...? is another oft-quotedcomeback. You don't really needto call 911 then, do you? ...But Ididnt know who else to call.?Dispatchers are not God, Dr. Philor Abigail Van Buren. If anythingother than a crime, fire or seriousmedical problem is on your mind,then 911 is not the number for you.This ain't really an emer-gency...? is often followed by butI tried to call the other number (thenon-emergency line), and didntnobody answer.?Well, didnt nobody? call becauseI was sitting right there the wholetime, and the phone never rang, soyou obviously didnt try too hard. Tothe dispatcher, this is just another wayof saying Im too lazy to look thenumber up in the phone book.? |Also, when calling 911, the firstthing out of your mouth shouldnever be How are you doing??If you are calling 911, yours orsomeone elses life and/or prop-erty should be in grave danger; aroaring blaze should be consumingeverything in sight; or you or some-one else should be in agonizingpain and/or close to death. In anycase, the welfare of the dispatcheris not germane to the situation, norshould you care who answers solong as someone does.Whos speaking?? is anotherfrequent response to 911.? Tell mewhat that has to do with anything?If straits are so dire that I need tocall 911, I really dont care to whomI am speaking as long as they sendme some help.More than once a shift, a dis- |patcher is treated to Can I askyou a question?? You just did.Another response is, This mightbe a stupid question...? If you feel "compelled to say that, then it mostlikely is. Someone may be tryingto call the police while hiding intheir closet from an axe murderer,and youre tying up the 911 linewith a question you know is stupidto begin with.The 911 number, being foremergencies only, is apparently amind-boggling concept.Webster defines an emergencyas an unforeseen combinationof circumstances or the result-ing state that calls for immediateaction? and an urgent need forassistance or relief.?Per Webster, none of the afore-mentioned constitutes an emer-gency. Other occurrences such asreporting larceny days after thefact, and car accidents from twoweeks ago (because your insurancecompany wants a report), are notemergencies either.Finally, though I could write anentire book on this subject, the mostannoying fingernails-on-the-black-board response to 911? for a dis-patcher is, I hate to bother you...?Then dont.This writer can be contacted atopinion@theeastcarolinian.com{ www.theeastcarolinian.com }WEDNESDAY MAY 28, 2008RANT OF THE DAYPAGE 4Does anyone else find it strange that myroommate stays up until 5 a.m. on Adderallwatching animal porn?"iy, ig Ca el eySEESetyee:\:} gear oeesaThe East Carolinian does not endorse statements made in PirateRants.

The main question iswhether current players will returnto a capped year after playing in anuncapped year. , 3According to USA Today, exec-utive director of the NFL PlayersAssociation Gene Upshaw saidthat players would receive moresee NFL page 11

WEDNESDAY, MAY 28,2008NFL continued from page 9than the 60% of total revenuethat is currently central to the riftwith owners in an uncapped year.Upshaw, however, is advising play-ers to sign long-term deals if thenumbers are right.The last uncapped year for theNFL came in 1993 and Upshawhas called the 2010 uncappedseason a point of no return insaying that players would notsettle for a salary cap again.NFL commissioner RogerGoodell disagrees and has statedsince the owners opted out lastTuesday that players would agree "to a salary cap.So what brought about thispossible doomsday scenario forthe NFL last Tuesday? Accord-ing to Upshaw, an e-mail fromGoodell named three key reasonsfor the owners opting out. Thosereasons were high labor costs,problems with rookie contracts,and the league's inability to recoupbonuses of players who do notabide by their contract.The current deal, signed twoyears ago, was to remain in effectuntil 2013 but had an option to optout in 2011, which is exactly whathappened last week.Now the sights are turnedto when a possible deal mightbe struck between the sides, butaccording to both sides that mighttake many years.We'd like to get things done,?Goodell] said last week in an ESPNinterview. But often its not untilyou have a deadline that peoplerealize the consequences of notreaching a deal,March of 2010--thats what wesee as the realistic deadline, Upshaw.said, according to ESPN. Im notgoing to sell the players on a capagain. Once we go through the cap,why should we agree to it again??As the months tick away with-out an agreement, the possibilityof an uncapped season becomes ahigh likelihood.While the NFL is worriedabout an uncapped season, a moretroublesome possibility remainson the horizon. The possibility ofa lockout in 2011 is looming, whichmeans no football will be played.We have guaranteed threemore years of NFL football,?Goodell said last Tuesday. Weare not in dire straits. But theagreement isnt working, and we'relooking to get a more fair andequitable deal.? .The writer can be contacted atsports@theeastcarolinian.comMark A.WarAT To Ne YBoard Certified Specialist in State Criminal Lawe ~lraffic Offensese Drug Offensese DWI :e State & Federal Courts252.752 Vick our website at www.mark-ward.comAT L A WwWMasterCardeedVISA¢SONVITHG - TIND - Wy ST¥OdS13 E STH STREET252-551-9020ECUSIDTHE EAST CAROLINIAN ¢ SPORTSPAGE 11KEMP continued from PaEE 9Kemp expects the Pirates to be serious contenders to reach Omaha.winning home run againstWestern Carolina. .Last year I had a disappoint-ing season, said Kemp. I wasa little embarrassed. This yearI really wanted to show whatkind of player I was. Last year, Iknew I was a better player than Ishowed...so, I took the summer offfrom baseball and just worked onstrength and conditioning, tried tofine-tune some points of my game.I worked with my coaches day inand day out and that really made adifference for me.?Pirate baseball fans reallybegan to take note of those dif-ferences in a March matchupwith Houston. Kemp exploded forthree home runs (3-4) in a 15-4assault on the Cougars. Kempwent on to finish the season with20 multi-hit games, 17 multi-RBIgames, and 11 game-winning RBIincluding a walk-off bomb againstMarshall in April.At the beginning of the season,Kemp was named one of threecaptains on the team along withT.J.

He just does a great jobkeeping you relaxed. [Its] reallyall I need.?Kemp stayed close to homeafter high school, opting to play forTennessee Tech. After a one-yearstint at Tech, Corey moved on toYoung Harris, a junior college. Avisit to ECU with outfielder TrentAshcraft, a Young Harris team-mate at the time, prompted Kempto finish his career as a Pirate.IT came toa football game andfell in love with the fans: the wholeatmosphere that ECU brings, thetradition, the pride that everybodytakes in being a Pirate,? Kempsaid of ECUs lure. I met fans at afootball game that had just boughttheir season tickets for baseball,so that really opened up my eyesto what kind of tradition and whatkind of excitement people aroundhere have for ECU athletics and theschool in general.?Kemps newfound successmeans new attention from MajorLeague Baseball scouts. Its nosecret that he will be drafted; theonly questions are when and where.With MLB waiting to snatch hun-dreds of young players as soon asthe college baseball season ends,focusing on the task at hand canbecome problematic.You try to focus on the seasonbut I'd lie if I said I didnt think-about it [the draft],? Kemp said.There's a good chance I'll hearmy name called but you try to putit in the back of your mind and justfocus on the season and deal withthat when the season is over.?Looking at the improvementhe has made throughout his career,Kemp looks like he has the skillsand the work ethic necessary tosucceed on the next level.In the meantime, Kemp is busyleading the Pirates to the NCAARegional.
