These internships are adminis tered by the state’s Youth Advo cacy and Involvement Office within the Department of Admin istration. They offer young people an excellent opportunity to bridge the gap between their classroom learning and their intended ca reers. Students can spend the summer working near the pristine beaches of the Outer Banks and earn col lege credit as well as a paycheck while doing so. The positions are available in husbandry, exhibits . and education. This summer pro gram offers stipends of approxi mately $270 per week for a 10-week period. ^ Change in law will benefit Floyd victims Parker Chesson, chairman of the Employment Security Commis sion of North Carolina, has an nounced a change in the Unem ployment Insurance law which will aid individuals whose employment was affected by Hurricanes Den nis and Floyd. The law change is a part of a special package of assis tance approved by the General Assembly to benefit the victims of North Carolina’s costliest hurri cane season in history. , Current unemployment insur ance laws require aone-week wait ing period for individuals who file a claim for benefits. The amend ment to the Employment Security Law will permit eligible individu als: who filed for unemployment benefits under state law and are unemployed as a result of the hur ricane activity to retroactively file for and receive payment for that first week of their unemployment. The law further stipulates that benefits paid as a result of the waiver of the waiting period will not be charged to the account of the employer. The law change will align North Carolina law more closely to fed eral law governing the Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) program. Individuals who file for Disaster Unemployment Assis tance are not subject to the one week waiting period as regular unemployment insurance claim ants are. Individuals whoare ruled ineligible to receive regular un employment benefits routinely file for, and receive, DUA benefits. The law change, which has been signed by Gov. Jim Hunt and is now in effect, would also apply to claims filed in any future disas ters. (A “disaster” is defined as any event that receives a disaster declaration from the President.) ESC officials estimate the total cost of the initiative to the Unemploy ment Insurance Trust Fund will be $6,200,000. “ Wecommend the legislature for tak ing this important step that will help thousands whose jobs were impacted,” Chesson said. Acceptable majors for the hus bandry intern include biology, ecology, marine biology or marine science. The husbandry intern will perform duties such as water test ing, fi§h food preparation and feed ing as well as tank maintenance. According to Aquarium Hus bandry Coordinator Frank Hudgins, a motivated intern can ^ievelop skills and gain knowledge needed for securing an entry-level position as an aquarist. “They will gain insight and hands on experience towards de velopment of a husbandry, aquar ist position,” he said. For the exhibits position, stu dents must have an interest in de sign, graphics, art or industrial arts and technology. Exhibits Cu rator Joe Malat says he likes to assign his intern a project so that in the end, he or she will have something for their portfolio. “With the grand reopeningof the r Aquarium in the spring of 2000, there will be a lot of new ami excit ing activities in which the intern can be involved, including thier own project,” he said. The third internship is in educa tion and acceptable majors include biology, education, environmental education, recreation or epology. Education Curator Terri K'irby Hathaway says her student intern is expected to present public pro grams such as films, slide presen tations and live animal programs. ‘‘Besides learning about coastal ecology by educating the public, the student will develop projects and implement additional pro „grams,” she noted. Each student is encouraged to seek academic credit for the in ternships, Which are open to ris ing juniors offour-year schools and rising sophomores attending com munity college.

Call us today at (252) 482-4418 For most ot us, tears are just "there," unnoticed until they annoy us on a windy day or embarrass us at emotional times. But tears actually per form a vital function. Tears are the salty, natural fluid that washes away most of the dust particles that enter the eyes. As the eyelids blink some 12 to 30 times a minute, tears clean the eyes thousands of times a day. The flui,d has also certain bacteria-inhibiting sub stances. When there are too many tears, they flow from the eyes through tiny ducts in the inside comers. Some of the fluid es capes through the nose; that's why the nose runs when we cry. Some people don't have enough tears; this "dry eye" condition is very uncomfort able, but may be compensated to some extent by "artificial tears" drops. Contact lens wear ers, too, may need drops to supplement natural tears and use a sterile solution when in serting lenses to avoid discom fort. brought to you as a community service by: Dr. A.F.
