Children in some North Carolina day
camps will not have as much state
protection this summer as they have had
in recent years, according to a local
child care advocate.
to begin with."
Park said she was worried that this is
too much deregulation, however. "It is
legitimate that there was a reaction to
the over-regulation of day-care, but
complete deregulation is not it."
The new bill deregulated programs
Last year the N.C. General Assembly that operate for four hours or less daily
ratified a bill that deregulates many
recreational summer day camps, said
Nancy T. Park, publisher of Children's
Services News, the newsletter of Child
Care Networks in Carrboro.
The bill is a response to the over-
between May and September. Under
the 1988 legislation, all day care fa
cilities operating more than four hours a
day for three weeks or longer each year
were subject to the same standards used
in regulating full-time day care programs

camps in 1988, but with decreased
regulation there is a greater possibility
of mismanagement in summer pro
grams, she said.
The bill was introduced to the Gen
eral Assembly by Anne Barnes, D-Or-ange
(and Chatham). She said seasonal
recreational programs were included in
All day care and day camp programs
were required to have an air-conditioned
building, specific numbers of restrooms,
a kitchen and a bulletin board for posting
the regulations, said Jody Jameson,
recreation program coordinator for
Carrboro Parks and Recreation.
The commission adopted these regu-
a bill strengthening regulation standards lations because very little time was al
lowed for the development of a set of
sensible standards in 1988, Park said.
This caused problems because many of
the regulations for full-time facilities
do not apply well to summer programs,
she said.

Marge Skeuse, a councelor at Victory Village Day Care, spent Tuesday with two children on a swing
in 1 988 due to an oversight, and the bill
she introduced last session was meant
to correct that.
"(The bill) clarified that the regular
day care regulations were not meant to
be applied to short-term seasonal rec
reational programs," Barnes said. "It
Film industry digs roots into Carolina soil
Under the new bill, the only state
was an oversight that we did not do that regulation concerning summer day
camps is that they must be inspected by
the state Board of Health if they serve
food, said Talitha Wright, a member of
the Child Day Care Section of the N.C.
Department of Human Resources.
Chris Erickson, camp coordinator for
Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation, said
the department plans to keep some of
the changes that were made in the last
two years in spite of the deregulation.
Regulations under the 1988 law con
cerned the minimum square feet per
child, snacks, transportation, swimming,
the percentage of outdoor versus indoor
activities, minimum counselor-to-child
ratios and other issues.
Carrboro Parks and Recreation has a
shelter, but no air-conditioned building
to use for its summer day camp pro
grams. As a result, the camps will only
be from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.,
Jameson said.
'There's all these little snags in the
day care regulations," she said. "I hate
to say we try to get around them, but we
do try to have a (day camp) program."
Because many summer day camps
are deregulated, it is important for par
ents to make sure the summer program
their children are in is a good one, Park
said. "In North Carolina, the parent is
the primary advocate for quality child
care," she said.

Thanks to the efforts of the North
Carolina Film Office, in ten years the
Tar Heel state has developed a motion
picture industry second only to those of
California and New York, said Henson
P. Barnes, President Pro Tempore of the
North Carolina Senate.
"Before this office started in 1980,"
said William Arnold, director of the
North Carolina Film Office, "you could
count on one hand the number of films
shot in North Carolina, including the
silent era."
Since then, however, almost 150
movies have been filmed here, as well
as thousands of commercials, television
episodes, and video productions. Over
the last decade, the industry has brought
$ 1 .9 billion into North Carolina.
'That's quite a return on an invest
ment," Arnold said. His office has spent
approximately $ 1 million over the same
period.
Arnold said the Film Office was
created "to encourage and stimulate as
much production activity in this state as
possible, and to offer our assistance
wherever we can."
To this end, the off ce prints an annual
directory for film producers listing all
the resources available in North Caro
lina, from studios and production houses
to caterers and crew people. The direc
tory is distributed to all inquiring com
panies. Arnold, Gov. Jim Martin, and other
state officials also travel to Los Angeles
at least once every year, a move calcu
lated to impress producers with North
Carolina's sincerity in seeking film
makers. One of those impressed was pro
ducer David Chan. His company,
Golden Harvest, decided Wilmington
was the best place to shoot the low-
budget action movie that ultimately
became the highest-grossing indepen
dently released film ever: Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles. The previous
record-holder, Dirty Dancing, was also
filmed in North Carolina. Chan said the
excellent facilities in Wilmington,
combined with easy access to New York
and non-union labor, made North
Carolina much less expensive than New
York City or Los Angeles.
However, North Carolina had some
disadvantages, Chan said.
"My cast and crew from New York
found the climate rather uncomfortable.
The soundstages were air-conditioned,
but it was much hotter outside."
Flight schedules were another in
convenience, Chan said. "Direct flights
from L.A. to Wilmington, and more
accessible transportation in general,
would be a help," he said.
But despite these problems, Chan
North Carolina faces mumps outbreak
From Associated Press reports Mumps is a highly contagious viral

periencing its worst outbreak of mumps glands, particularly the salivary glands
since 1976.
Since Jan. 1, 1 10 cases of the disease
have been reported to the state health
department, said A. Wayne Raynor, state
immunization director.
The state generally averages 25 to 35
cases a year, Raynor said, but in 1976,
more than 300 cases were reported.
Most of the cases this year have been
in Beaufort and Pasquotank counties
among junior- and senior- high-school
students who had been vaccinated
against the virus.
"Vaccines aren't perfect," Raynor
said. "It's always conceivable to have
an outbreak in a well-vaccinated
population."

don't develop antibodies to the virus, so
they are susceptible when exposed to it.
at the angles of the jaw. It can also affect
other glands, including the testicles,
ovaries and pancreas. Other symptoms
are watery eyes, malaise and cold
symptoms.
Symptoms generally last 10 days to
three weeks, Raynor said.

said he would probably return to North
Carolina if the much-discussed sequel
to Turtles is given the go-ahead.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was
one of 14 features and several smaller
projects generated in 1989, garnering a
total of $314.3 million, Sen. Barnes
said.
"In addition to the income generated,
the projects created 7,540 industry-related
jobs," he said.
This year also looks good, he said.
Films starring Julia Roberts, Michael
Caine, Jim Belushi and Michelle Pfeiffer
are all in the works here. The state now
has the highest rate of industry growth
in the nation.

Our Italian and Chinese Chefs are arguing..
you help?
Chef Giovanni from Florence. Italy, insists that his Polio Alia
Sorrentina sauteed with eggplant, prosciutto & spinach in a
red sauce then topped with mozzerella cheese is the best
Italian dish in the Triangle area!
However, our Chinese Chef Simon Chan thinks his General
Tao's Chicken looks, tastes a? smells just as good!
Chef Giovanni interrupts to add that his Gamberi Creole, which is created with fresh
clams, shrimp, prosciutto. sauteed with onion, green peppers and mushrooms over
a bed of rice, is delicious as well as the best value in town at only $10.95!
Chef Chan disagrees! He favors the Seafood Basket which has lobster meat, large
shrimp, scallops a? king crab meat. This dish is served with crispy vegetables in a
unique potato basket and Chef Chan insists it is the freshest seafood dish ever created!
Whose dish is best is debatable, but the fact that these are the best
Italian & Chinese Chefs in town is certain!
