Wednesday, March 6,19% F eatures New Restaurant Comes to Brevard Jon Ostendorff Editor A new restaurant has recently opened in Brevard. However, this is not the typical small town biscuit and gravy dinner. The restaurant is called “Vinne Spaglionies”, and it specializes in Latin food. Daniel Martinez, a native of Miami FL., is the owner and operator of Vinne’s. Martinez is a chef with almost twenty years of experience in the restaurant business. Martinez’s background is almost as diverse as his menu. At Vinne’s Martinez serves up food from Italy, Portugal, Spain, Columbia, and many other Latin Countries. However, Martinez has not always worked solely with Latin food. The first restaurant he opened was in Naples, FL. , and was actually a German restaurant .With his previous restaurant experience, Martinez said he would have felt comfortable operating a typical small town diner, but instead he wanted to bring something different to Brevard. Presently Vinne’s is carry-out only, with a bicycle delivery service for lunch in the down town area only. However, in about a month Vinne’s will offer indoor and outdoor sit-down dining. When asked about fumre plans for Vinne Spaglionni’s, Martinez said “I feel this restaurant is going where Brevard is going. We don’t have to be a big city to have culture and diversity.” Vinne Spaglionni’s is now accepting applications for all positions, part-time or full-time. Apply in person between 3;00| .and 6:00 Mon.-Sat., at 10 Times Arcade) Alley, behind the Chamber of Commerce) or call 883-940L Ask for Daniel. Learn by Working in D.C. Press Release BC News Bureau What could you do with ten or fifteen weeks in Washington, D.C.? Researching defense issues, tracking down crime-scene wimesses, or planning an after-school program for disadvantaged youth are all in a day s work for one group of students this semester. But being an intern is just the beginning. A myriad of monuments, museums, ethnic restaurants, festivals, and more ensure that every aspect of a semester in D.C. is unforgettable. These U.S. and international smdents are spending a semester exploring career opitions and applying what they have learned in the classroom. They are learning about fields, organizations, and types of jobs which may hold the keys to their careers. The students are also receiving valuable real-life experience that will give their resumes an edge. They are experiencing life in our nation’s captial and meeting people from across the U.S. and abroad. The Institute for Experiential learning (lEL) is the organization that makes these exciting, affordable internships possible. lEL takes great care in locating internships for its students. Once a student has applied and been accepted, he or she completes an Intern Profile, which provides more insight into his or her goals and interests. lEL staff then circulate the student’s application to potential Agency Sponsors throughout Washington. Finally, students conduct telephone interviews with two or more potential Agency Sponsors before choosing the internship that meets their individual needs. Current placements range from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the National Women’s Law Center to Olympic Soccer ‘96 to congressional offices. lEL maintains listings for literally thousands of diverse organizations and continually seeks out more. No matter what a student’s major and interests may be, lEL searches for the ideal internship. lEL students intern 4 days a week. They also attend 2 seminars taught by lEL faculty. The Experiential Education Seminar links theory to practice, and the second course, an elective, varies by term. To ensure that students have a safe, comfortable experience while interning, lEL offers affordable optional housing. Students can choose to live with other lEL interns in apartments that are convienent to life’s necessities (grocery store, dry cleaners, restaurants). The apartment complex offers such amenities as a swimming pool, exercise room, movie nights, weekly brunch, and special events. What are former lEL interns doing today? They are serving as congressional aides, preparing to become lawyers, anchoring the morning news, opening political fimdraising businesses, and keeping in touch with the friends and contacts they made at lEL. lEL is accepting applications until April 1. Undergraduates, recent graduates, and graduate students are welcome. For more information, call 1-800-IEL-0770.
