C, 28529 The Pamlico County News Dedicated To The Progressive Development Of Pamlico County "HOME OF AMERICA'S OLDEST. LARGEST HOLLY TREt‘ PAMLICO TECHNICAL I BOX 1215 ALLIANCE, NC 23509 Vol. 10 No. 24 SERVING GROWING PAMLICO COUNTY Thursday, June 16, 1977 Summer Unemployment Poses Problem For School Employees Many school employees may be unable to draw unemployment pay during the summer months, according to Marion F. Barnhill, Sr., manager of the Employment Security Commission Job Service in New Bern. Although federal statutes provide unemployment insurance coverage to school employees, most school workers without jobs this summer will be denied unemployment payments. Insurance laws deny benefits to school workers who have “reasonable assurance” that Food Fads And Facts Program At PTl Pamlico Technical Institute will sponsor a Food Fads and Facts Program on Nutrition in Pamlico County on June 30 beginning at 8:30 a. m. at the institution located in Grantsboro. This is a program designed to give the local citizens a starting point in developing proper nutritional habits that will eventually lead to better health. According to information received, the program will enable those attending to better separate the fads from the facts in terms of proper nutrition and eating habits; better understand the positive as well as the negative aspects of food additives; better comprehend the relationship of diet to a specific disease (cardiovascular) and to better relate all of the information to a simplified approach to cooking’ recipes and diet planning in which good nutrition will be the result. The program includes registration at 8:30 until 9 a. m., (Continued on page 2) Swimming Lessons Still Available by C. Ray Dudley If you have not yet signed up for swimming lessons there are a few vacant spots left. The Pamlico County Parks and Recreation Department will sponsor adult and youth swimming lessons at Camp Don Lee in Arapahoe.

You must pre-register by calling the Pamlico County Recreation Department at 7454240 to sign up. If you cannot get into the first class sign iq> for the class later on in the sessions. There’s a class session for you! they will return to work at the end of the summer. The law disqualifying school workers applies to non professionals as well as teachers. In New Bern, Barnhill says, school employees with written, oral or implied contracts or agreements to return to school employment do not qualify for unemployment benefits. North Carolina requires claimants to be unemployed through no fault of their own, be able to work, be available for work and actively seeking jobs to be eligible for unemployment benefits. Employees who have agreements to return to work with schools after the summer is over do not meet these eligibility requirements. The Special Unemployment Assistance Act, passed by Congress at the outset of the recession, extends unemployment insurance coverage to workers not covered by state laws. There is currently a bill before the General Assembly providing coverage for state and local government workers but, if passed, it would not change the eligibility requirements to draw benefits according to the ESC.

FBLA Gave Play For Seniors By Darla Stephenson The Pamlico County Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America held its final meeting for the 1976-77 school year on June 1. The meeting was opened by the president, Dorinda Cahoon, followed by devotions by Gloria Harris. Because the entire meeting was in honor of the Senior class, a play concerning future aims and goals was presented by several club members. The play was centered around two bums and their poverty-stricken lives. The 1976-77 FBLA officers then gave comments and spoke of their desires for the future of the club. Advisor Beaulah Prescott congratulated these officers on a job well done. Each year the FBLA Club votes on the individual that they think has accomplished the most for the club. The individual must be creative in planning and tak ing part in club activities and at all times keep the club’s welfare foremost in his or her thoughts. This year, this honor went to Dorinda Cahoon. Congratulations, Dorinda! Pamlico County, Pastf Present And Future ByDOTAVENT Traveling about the county this past week, I observed that ihe summer population explosion is once again taking place. Summer homes and various camps are open for another year. The waterways and dock areas are filled with boats. The story is told that some years ago while searching for a suitable location for a YMCA-sponsored summer camp, Wyatt Taylor came to Pamlico County and chose the Wilkerson Point location for Camp Sea Gull because of the excellent sailing waters of the Neuse. The camp has grown from a small beginning into facilities for over seven hundred campers with a wide variety of land and water programs. Several years after Camp Sea Gull was started for boys, another location was selected for girls on the upriver side of Wilkerson Point. Camp Seafarer has evolved into an excellent camp for some over five hundred campers in each of two summer sessions. Here, too, girls can learn the fundamentals of sailing and may even progress to competitive sailing. Of course, other programs on land and water are incorporated into camper activities. Located between Wilkerson Point and Dawson’s Creek is Camp Don Lee sponsored by the United Methodist Church Conference. Many campers in the one, two and four week sessions offered by Camp Don Lee, enjoy the natural setting of this camp. Outposts serve to bring the campers close to nature, both on land and in or on the water. Camping out, away from modem conveniences, aids these younsters in gaining an experience in self-reliance. On a cove, just inside the mouth of Dawson's Creek, Camp Caroline has been developed by the Christian Church Conference. In a beautiful setting of trees, campers enjoy an assortment of activities, some land oriented, others water oriented. The expressions on their faces tell you that the camping experience is something to be remembered. Nearer to Pamlico Sound, the Free Will Baptist Conference has established Camp Vandemere. Here, too, a water-oriented program has been skillfully complemented with land activities where campers play and learn in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. A tribute to the camping experience and its effects is the large number of campers who return year after year. Many grownup campers continue to return in the role of counselors. Often parents bring their children to learn and enjoy where they were campers in years past. Naturally, the opening of the summer season concerns more than campers and summer residents. Basic to campers is caring for them. Normally the year ‘round maintenance staffs (usually local residents) are augmented with a temporary summer staff. Many of these positions are filled by local people. Motels and restaurants in the area benefit because parents either bring their children to camp or visit them during the sessions, often staying overnight. Merchants in the area supply the summer residents. Therefore, a local economic pact is felt along with the temporary population increase. Hopefully the 1977 summer will be the best ever.
