All were meeting at the DuBois Building. Governor Wilder’s lost opportunity Retired Virginia Gov. Douglas Wilder seems poised to blow his “chance of a lifetime.” He appears to be getting bad advice from some- one that his best political move in 1994 is to join the jumbled U.S. Senate race in the Old Dominion . . . not as the Democratic Party nominee, but as an independent. On the contrary, Gov. Wilder’s best move is to spend this year and next campaigning to become “Mr. Democrat,” in the same way former President Ronald Reagan spent the year’s between his failed 1976 bid to win the Republican Presi- dential nomination, and his even- tual landslide electoral victory in 1980, defeating incumbent Jimmy Carter. ' In 1976, one season before his . eventual victory, Mr. Reagan chal- i his party's “flawed” incum- bent, President Gerald Ford, but failed to wrest the nomination. That year he was already consid- to be “old” for a presidential | contender. Instead of taking his first z | ees ee) ica aac i ! a is fe > oe ge ey Riel NR ae orp a Ram ie a Beg eT me Se he eb ala al ig Aa A ae SM ae le ge, ea I: aie A e President since Republican Dwight Eisenhower left office in 1961, to be elected to and serve two full terms in the White House. Similarly, this year Gov. Wilder already decided not to challenge his party’s “flawed” incumbent Senator, Charles Robb, in the June 14th Virginia Democratic primary. That was a smart decision. Mr. Wilder’s biggest knock, among the general publicandin hisown party, comes from his on-going feud with Senator Robb. But instead of now being “Reagan-esque” and playing the role of a “good soldier,” by help- ing his rival to win or lose, for the sake of the party and its prin- ciples, he is about to become the “spoiler” who will be blamed for Senator Robb’s almost certain de- feat to “flawed” Republican nomi- nee Oliver North. So dissatisfied are many Vir- ginia Republicans and the party's national Senate leadership with Mr. North’s admission that he lied to Congress during the Iran- Contra scandal, that they will likely draft and support the inde- pendent candidacy of former Vir- ginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman, the man Wilder defeated in 1989 to become Governor. So why doesn’t Governor Wilder just sit this one out, let the Repub- licans squabble and fight, work the “rubber chicken” banquet cir- cuit helping Democrats get elected to local offices, and thencome back in 1996 to challenge the now-un- popular incumbent Republican U.S. Senator,John Warner?

Our faculty members must be commended for their dedication and committment, “ said Jimmy Jenkins, chancellor of Elizabeth City State Univer- Jimmy Jenkins: A Man of vision for the 21st century Jimmy Jenkins, chancellor of Elizabeth City University, learned about hard work, honesty, and life challenges early. He was born in Selma (Johnston County) and ' worked to improved his family’s economic situation. His parents instilled in him the importance of education as well as sharing his knowledge to help others. Jenkins was a realist and knew that one’s attitude determined one’s success in life. At an early age, Jenkin’s philosphy was tested. His father was killed in a trash truck acci- dent. It was a difficult time for him, but he stayed the course on faith. Jenkins knew that his fa- ther wanted him to excel in any endeavor, and decided to do extradinary things to make life better for humanity - and he did. After graduating from high school, Jenkins enrolled at Eliza- beth City State University, where he earned his B.S. degree in biology at the Graduate School of Biological Sciences, Purdue Uni- versity, and Ph. D. in biology at | the Graduate School of Education | at Purdue. Prior to returning to his alma | mater, he served . as a pereties pervisor. of sity, heirs teacher at Sone Anne’s County High School in Centreville, Maryland; and biol- ogy teacher at Kevard High School in Centreville, Maryland. He returned to Elizabeth City State University in 1972 to serve aas an assistant professor of biology. Within the same year, he was appointed assisstant aca- demic dean for administration. He was promoted to associate profes- sor of biology in 1973 and served as science consultant for North- eastern North Carolina. In 1977, after.a national search, he was selected as Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and dean of the faculty, and granted full _ profes- - gorship tenure in biology. In 1982-83, he waas assigned the day-to-day management of Elizabeth City State University. On May 1, 1983 he was appointed acting chancellor of the Univer- sity andon October 14, 1983, after a nationwide search and applicaitons from 130 candidates, elected chancelor of his alma mater. He holds approximately 30com- mittee memberships, serves on the Board of Directors of 12 orga- nizations; holds 45 professional and _ civic organization member- ships; aand has many other ac- complishments, honors, and spe- cial recognitions. rdue Uni' “is. 4 sity. The grant entitled “Nurturing Elizabeth City State University Research Talent in Computer Vi- sualization and Parallel Process- ing” focuses on undergraduate education research experiences in cumputer science. According to Linda Hayden, professor and prin- cipal investigator, the grant will provide students an opportunity to improve their research skills. “This grant is indicative of the quality of our students and the University’s commitment to pro- viding them the research experiencess and courses which will insure them success in gradu- ate school,” Hayden said. Hayden further noted that each student in the program will learn the fundamentals of scientific re- search aas they conduct investiga- tions. in parallel processing and computér visualization. “I see this grant as a major opportunity for students to receive financial support in teh form of research scholarships,” Hayden said. “Many of our students decide to work over graduate school be- cause of the debt incurred while pursuing the undergraduate de- gree.” Hayden praised ‘Chancellor Jenkins for supporting student researchers. “ Our chancellor is supportive of our students research efforts,” Hayden said. “Ican recall during a national conference that Chancellor Jenkins wanted three hours to introduce our student researchers. Heis anextraodinary person.” In addition, the grant will: parallel processing and computer visualization strengthen the infrastructure of the Mathematics and Science De- partment. “The grant will aassit us in the enhancing of our current computer graphics, operating sys- tems courses, establishing a visit- ing lecture series, and developing two new courses in parrallel pro- cessing and computer visualiza- tion,” Hayden said. “To achieve VOTE FOR JIM ROUSE PITT COUNTY COMMISSIONER NOVEMBER 8 ter Institute of Technolgy of Alcoa Aluminum Company of America.” these goals we have partnered with Colgate University, University of Georgia, North Carolina Supercomputing Center, Roches- Read The "M" Voice Newspaper ra — . aia —_— jin Boe ee ; CRE ie Highway 301, Battleboro Open Mon.-Thur. 6:00 A.M. -- 2:00 P.M.

JOHN MAYE This period of time is unoffi- cially “High School Graduation Week” in North Carolina and throughout the United States. During this time, students, teach- ers parents have high hopes and great expectations for future op- portunities of good fortune and excellence. Life, after all, has many “rites of passages,” and high school graduation ranks among the fore- most initial ventures for a quality and productive entry toward suc- cess. As many young people prepare for life after high school, I share some antidotes for a happy and WEEK OF JUNE 30 - JULY 6, 1994 ce upon completio long life which all young people, indeed all human beings, must to consider. 1. What is your name? Every day of your life one defines his reputation. What does your name mean? How doothers think of you? What does your name mean to you? According to “Ebony” maga- zine for April 1994, former Vir- ginia Governor Douglas Wilder told a group of Shaw University students his father employed him, “Boy, don’t mess up my name! I have worked all of my life for my name to mean something.” How do your friends think of you? What will your teachers or co-workers say about you when prospective employers or college officials con- tact them for a reference? Remem- ber your name. You define your name and earn your reputation through the way you live daily. 2. Accept Yourself. The value of a lifelong educatiofal attitude is you become willing to accept your- self as you are. Regardless of cir- cumstance, size, condition, encoun- ter, or challenge, learn to acknowl- edge your strengths and weak- nesses as a person, and to move forward with a personal plan and purpose for improvement. Socrates proclaimed years ago, “Know thy- self.” Assess your aptitudes. Evalu- ate your attitude. Analyze your- self-up and down and in and out.

I heard a minister state in a sermon several months ago that only two percent of employed Americans of all ages do not re- quire the on-going monitoring and supervision of a boss or a superior. That two percent is selfstarters and self-evaluators who perform more on the job than the job de- scription specifics. They come to work early (never are tardy) and stay late. They define their own goals above and beyond the organization’s or job’s goals. They work at work; they do not loath or cheat. Time is precious, and they give a productive day’s work. I encourage every person about to uf fey graduate from high school to ex- pect to work hard and learn to enjoy and perform an honest hard day’s work for virtue, value, and victory can be achieved in life and- during life through this endeavor. 4. Watch your habits. Habits are activities in which we engage that become you” is a statement my mother has told me frequently. In this contemporary society, most technical jobs-working on machin- ery, piloting airplanes or driving vehicles, handling lab equipment- requires that any prospective em- ployee must take and pass a drug test as entry to the job opportu- nity. I urge all students and people to be careful with any habit you think you want to dot because it carries with it a tremendous con- lo. 3, iil let Se hs ia es sequence. 5. With all you getting, get God in your Life. People can become so busy pursuing the American dreams-cars, houses, boats, luxury-that we ignore the need for a spirtual relationship to sustain our lives and provide balance and value in living. It is imperative for every young person to achieve a relationship with God to help you through this life. We cannot make it as John Donne stated “as an island unto ourselves.” We cannot make it in life with drugs, chemi- cals, and all that glitz and glitter of the good life. We cannot make it in life unless we know God, He becomes “our rock, our fortress, our compass, our shield, our pro- vider, our protector, our superior, ‘ey rite of passage» \ our sustainer, our all in all, “our everything” that we need to gain success and a long life. I urge our young people to find God and re- main in consistent communica- tions with Him. These antidotés can help all of us find true meaning in life. I wish every graduating senior success with these principles and I invite every adult an human being to remain sincere toward the notion that I can improve my life, too, by revisiting and by implementing these principals. “This si the first day of the rest of our lives” so let’s do something constructive and wholesome with these opportuni- ties.

By get- ting to know these traits, you'll hopefully understand yourself and others better. You'll be able to dis- tinguish between a person’s “gen- der” traits and their “individual” traits—a useful skill for both per- sonal and business relationships.

This is the second consectutive year of no rate in- creases, — Trustees approved the budget at the June 21 board meeting. It will become effective Oct. 1, fol- lowing approval by Blue Cross- Blue Shield of North Carolina. Hospital officials cite a number of key factors in thier ability to hold overall patient charges steady. These factors include in- creased patient volumes, de- creased inflationary pressures in the market place for labor and hospital supplies, lower operating costs, and improved labor effiencies. We are continuing to improve patient care byimplementing new patient care delivery models that increase the quality of care and also lower hospital operating costs,” said Deborah Davis, senior vice president for PCMH. * The increased quality and lower costs enable us to achieve a volume ad- ials project gross pa revenues of $375.6 million but ex- pect to realize only 76 percent of thaat amount because of uncollectible charity care accounts and shortfalls in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. Oper- ating expenses are projected to be 280.3 million, andnetincome $15.8 million. The proposed budget an- ticipates 4 percent growth in over- all demand for patient services and includes an equipment bud- get of $17.7 million. Another $16.7 million is budgeted for capital projects such as expansion and renovation of the operating rooms and construction of a wellness cen- ter. “Our operational goals and ob- jectives and budget for the upcom- ing fiscal year reflect the need to operate effectively in the current system and at the same time posi- tion for entry into a new health care delivery system,” said Dave McRae, chief executive office for PCMH. “This operational plan is one of transition - transistion to « BUY AMERICAN QUALITY '« COOPER e All-Season radial e Steel belted e Classic shoulder design SIZE PRICE P175/80R13 $39.15 P195/75R14 44.69 P205/75R14 $46.22 P225/75R15 repack front bear! ng 35. check mast er cylinder and brake noses Metailic pads extra + Batteries - | ‘Cooper ) TIRES y : Since 1951 : Great Tires, Great Prices!

Joint Commission on Accredidation of Healthcare Or- ganization (JCAHO), according to PCMH President Dave McRae. The reaccrediation followed a three-day site visist in March by surveyors from the JCAHO. The hospital received a score of 90 out of a possible 100, the best score the hospital has received since being surveyed by JCAHO. The accreditation is effective until 1977. To become accredited, hospitals must undergo on-site evaluation by JCAHO surveyors who apply national standardsto evaluate the institution’s effortss to prrovide quality care. During the visit March 9-15, three ssurveeyors reviewed PCMH medical records, policies and pro-. cedures and interviewed hospi- tal employees, medical staff and patients. McRae said the surveyors indi- cated they felt a “proactive search for quality” was evident at the hospital. During an exit confer- ence with hospitals administra- tors, surveyor Kenneth Hollenbaugh, a hospital admin- istrator, said, “It is obvious that you care about your patients and that people want to do their job better. Surveyor Dr. Gerald Puls, a pa- thologist, said he was “impressed with the level of participaation by the medical staff and board mem- bers. Dr. Randy Williams, chief of staff at PCMH, said,”We are proud of the efforts of the medical staff and hospital in assuring JCAHO ac- creditation and in maintaing a ccommiment to high quality care.” The surveyors provided the hopital with a written report con- taining recommendations, many of which concerned more efficent documentation procedures. All recommendations are being ad- dressed by the hospital in assur- ing JCAHO outlining . the hospital’s compliance with those recommendations, according to McRae. Pitt Memorial has a standing committee of hospital and medical staff representatives who work to make sure the hospital continues to provide and monitor the care expected by. the public and evalu- ated by the Joint Commission, said McRae.

Very disturbing “scientific” trends are at work at North America, spurred on by firms such ndatory drugs ft as Eli Lilly & Co. adn certain fed- eral government agencies that are long on college degrees but short on human warmth.

They found hat 60 to 72 year old men were able to walk faster and perform outine tasks more easily afterjust 12 weeks of regular exercise. Researchers also say that exer- ise may improve cardiovascular tness, contribute to weight loss, educe the risk of osteoporosis and elp control stress. Wilder offers ese ten tips for adults beginning an exercise program. 1. See your doctor for a complete physical and obtain recommenda- tions concerning any exercises to avoid. 2. Keep a weekly log of your activities to help track your progress. 8. Warm up and cool down. Stretch before and after exercis- ing to provide more flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. 4, Breathe deeply as you exer- cise. Inhale from the abdomen. 5. Listen to your body.

Pacing yourself To strengthen your heart and lungs, you'll want to exercise at a level that is between 50 and 75 percent of the average maximum heart rate for your age. This range is called your target heart rate zone. To determine if you are in your heart rate zone, take your pulse immediately after you stop exer- cising. Press your fingertips to the inside of your wrist, count the num- ber of beats per 10 seconds and multiply by six. The total should fall within your target heart rate zone. Listed below are target zones for five different ages. To calculate your average maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220.

Road lap Wins! _ Phone: __ __ Dhone _ __ Phone __ Phone: _ _ Phone ___ Phone Learning to cook with herbs and discovering their many different flavors can be fun, say Thomas. Following are a few guidelines and suggestions for using herbs; ¢ To learn the flavor of a new herb, try the sniff-and-taste method. Simply sprinkle a little of the desired fresh or dried herb into your palm. Then rub it with your thumb to release its aroma and take a deep whiff. Once you're fa- miliar with the aroma, taste a pinch of the herb, rolling it around all areas of the tongue and palate. ¢ Another way to acquaint your- self with the flavor of an herb is to mix it with a fat-free butter substi- tute or lowfat cream cheese and use it as aspread on bread or plain crackers. ¢ Add herbs to cold foods hours before serving so the savory flavor can permeate the food. ¢ When cooking with herbs, add them toward the end of the cook- ing process. Many herbs lose their flavor during extended cooking. ° If you substitute fresh herbs for dried, as a general rule, the ratio is 1 tablespoon fresh for ev- ery 1 teaspoon of dried herbs. ¢ If herbs have woody stems, strip the leaves and discard the stems before chopping. ¢ To keep herbs fresh, stand them, stems down, in a glass con- taining about on-half inch of wa- ter. Slip a plastic bag over the herbs to retain moisture. ¢ Dried herbs will retain their flavor for approximately one year. Consumer Information Catalog
