fore the summer season to romp in the surf with a pet. Most area
beaches have strict leash laws in effect between Memorial Day and
iMbor Day. The above photograph was taken at Sunset It each.
BCC Sets Training Dates
For Literacy Instructors
A lfvhour training session will be
offered May 2 and May 9 for indi

cy classes at Brunswick Community
College.
Training, for existing instructors
and prospective instructors, will be
in the Comprehensive Adult Student
Assessment System or CASAS, the
method that by this fall will be used
to teach all BCC literacy classes.
This includes adult basic education
(ABE), general education develop
ment (GED) and English as a sec
ond language (ESL) programs. The
method is already being used in
some classes at BCC's Supply,

The CASAS method, she says,

cy skills they need to the goals they
with to achieve. It uses a common
sense, life skills approach to teach
ing, with an emphasis on critical
thinking, problem solving and com
munication skills.
Training on both Saturdays will
be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at
BCC's main campus on U.S. 17
