' "College officials say the Tier I pro gram will help to improve the profes sional quality of faculty. This, in turn say state and local administrators, wi|l give students extra benefits from an-educational standpoint. aThe program's goal is to improve professional competencies and tech nical training," explained COA dean of instruction Norman Norfleet, "but the real benefit for students will be more impact in the classroom be cause of their instructor's upgraded knowledge and skills." The Tier I project was funded by a $1.2 million allocation from the N.C. Legislature to the N.C. Department of Community Colleges. COA re ceived $10,763 of the allocation to implement its faculty development plan. .

CJiemistry and physics instructor Bobby Adams is one of those who has taken the opportunity to expand his teaching range.

"The course provided additional background in the areas of electric ity, magnetism, and modern phys ics," said the instructor, "and of fered many historical aspects of the subject that are not usually pre sented in traditional physic courses." Adams will use the information to make physics "a bit more interest ing" for the non-science major at COA who is required to take physics. Wilma Harris, director of associate degree nursing, plans to incorporate information she acquired at a na tional nursing convention in Dallas, Texas into two nursing courses she teaches at COA.

Wildlife Resources Com mission is seeking legislation that would create an official state list of animals that are endangered, threat ened or of special concern in North Carolina. Currently, people with interest in the welfare of wildlife use a federal list for information on endangered and threatened species. A bill now under consideration by the N.C. Gen eral Assembly would allow the Com mission's Nongame Advisory Com mittee to name members to a scientific council which would be composed of wildlife experts. Those experts would develop and use stan dard criteria for identifying and plac ing animals and birds in the three categorie? endangered, threatened or special concern. Debbie Paul, manager of the Nong ame Section of the Commission's Di vision of Wildlife Management, said such a list would provide a better way for North Carolina to study ani mals of particular interest to the state. "We have animals we need to be concerned about that aren't on the federal list," she said. "There are several unofficial lists of rare ani mals around, but we don't have one that was defeloped under scientific review or using standard criteria "We're at a stage where the nong ame program is really on its feet and we're ready ot go beyond the federal list and work with rare species of particular interest in North Caro lina." Such a list would also help devel opers and planners protect wildlife by maintaining their habitats. "This is not to inhibit development or progress," Paul said. "It wil give us the information to determine which animals we need to focus on and study the animals that need to be protected. Then, we could help plan ners and developers so their action won't harm these species." An endangered species list would require no new money, although it could eventually attract grants. "Actually, it would put contribu tions to the Nongame and Endan gered Species Program to its best use," Paul said. "It would be a too to help direct our work. Some animals already considered endangered in North Carolina in clude the peregrine falcon, the bald eagle and the eastern cougar. Ani mals considered to be threatened in clude the loggerhead sea turtle and the piping plover. Scholarships offered Applications are being received for five Rotary Foundaton scholarships valued at $12,000 to $15,000, each of which will pay all expenses for a year of overseas study and will be awarded by Rotary District 771 to ap plications from northeastern North Carolina. Four categories of scholarships are available: graduate, undergraduate, teacher of handicaped, and journa lism. Applications must be made through a local Rotary club. In the Hertford area, information is avail able from Rotarians of Hertford. Application forms may be obtained from Dr. Roy Lindahl, 305 Clayton Rd., Chapel Hill, N.C. 2765}4. Dr. Lin dahl is Rotary Foundation chairman for District 771. This year, District 771 is sending six students to other countries for study, with expenses paid through Rotary Foundation scholarships. Eight students from other countries are enrolled at UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, and N.C. State. Prior to departure, students are provided an orientation program un der direction of Dr. A. Berry Credle of Chapel Hill to prepare them for life in overseas communities. During their year of overseas study, a recipient is provided with a Rotarian counselor.

It is wonderful that the Hospice program has such dedicated volunteers that two persons were able to be selected last month. With all the work Mrs. Katherine Sawyer does in her church and com munity, she still finds the time to serve diligently as a Hospice volun teer. Mrs. Sawyer works with Dr. Spruill's office in Elizabeth City so her patient was in Pasquotank County. This allowed her to make vis its during lunch hours and right after work, but she also came by on Satur day's too. Mrs. Sawyer says she could just go on and on about how much being a Hospice volunteer has meant to her however she will say i =-= that the "joy she has gotten from giv ing has been a great revelation." That is a wonderful description of what a Hospice Volunteer's purpose is: joyous giving. Irene Belangia s background isin caring as she is a retired registered nurse from the health department. Ms. Belangia is Co-Chairperson for the Pasquotank County Hospice vol unteer group and is also involved in many other community activities. She spent many dedicated hours vis iting her patient during April and also doing shopping for the patient. Mrs. Belangia very beautifully states "what being a Hospice volunteer means to me: People need each other; in every human sense we need each other. "God says there are no limits on love" so if my physical strength, time and money runs out I can stil give love." The Spanish once believed bread on the window sill would avert a storm. I ?
