YESTERDAY John Patterson of Spencer provided the Post with this photograph of what looks to be the opening of the Wil-Cox Bridge on June 8, 1924. The bridge spans the Yadkin River, linking Rowan and Davidson counties. ‘I thought it was odd,’ Patterson says, ‘that the Davidson County marker was on the Rowan side of the river. The river sure looked different. Notice a power plant on the south side of the tracks. Part of that building is still there.’ The Wil-Cox Bridge — in the news lately because of its closing for safety concerns — opened in 1924 at a cost of $212,000. It’s thought to be one of six bridges of its style still remaining in North Carolina and is nearly 1,300 feet in length. The bridge has seven 150-foot-long open spandrel arches. The Wil-Cox name represents a combination of two highway commissioners from the time: W.E. Wilkinson of Charlotte and Elwood Cox of High Point.

Judge gives green-light to neighborhood schools RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s largest school district is set to give final approval this week to a plan to end its busing for diversity program after a judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to block the move. Judge Bill Pittman said in his ruling Friday that the Wake County school board was taking reasonable measures to accommodate the large crowds that have been at its meetings concerning the change in attendance policy. Opponents of sending children to school based primarily on where they live had challenged the board’s

move, saying public participation at meetings was limited by the size of the meeting space. “The board has taken actions that clearly have the intention and effect of curtailing public attendance,” said Swain Wood, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the case. To ease the growing crowds at meetings, the school system began requiring people to have tickets to get seats in the board room starting with the March 23 meeting. School officials said that move was a fire safety precaution.

Margiotta said. “We are bending over backwards to accommodate the public.” Margiotta said there are no plans to move Tuesday’s meeting, where the board is expected to give final approval to removing all references to socio-economic diversity in favor of making students’ living close to school a priority. Other groups, including the North Carolina branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, have threatened to sue to stop the policy change.

To compensate, school officials expanded time for public comment and meetings were shown live on video screens in overflow rooms. “The statute is not designed to vest rights in every individual to be in the room to watch the proceedings,” said attorney Kieran Shanahan, who represented the school board in the lawsuit. Wood said it is unlikely that his clients would appeal Friday’s ruling. “It was a frivolous lawsuit and truly not about the Open Meetings Law,” school board chairman Ron

Example: Monday — Chest and triceps, Tuesday — Back and biceps, Wednesday — Legs, shoulders and core. Repeat for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sunday= a day of rest. This way you work each body part twice in a week. If you have five days, start the first week with chest and triceps, back and biceps, legs and shoulders and core, chest and triceps again, and back and biceps. The following week start with back and biceps, legs and shoulders and core, and chest and triceps, back and biceps, legsshoulders and core. Following week start with legs-shoulders and core, etc. Are you still with me? And don’t forget your run. For full body pick two chest-, two back-, four leg-, one shoulder, one biceps-, one triceps-, two abs exercises and two lower back exercises. For a split workout, pick five for the big muscle groups— chest, back, legs. Pick two for

Even ESTER when you have a MARSH summer job, you can work around your work schedule. Here are a few tips. Try to run five days a week for at least 30 minutes.
