BChydro & 's 10 kilometres of Below, Don Rogers Selkirk College walking trails near completion Almost 10 kilometres of easy walking trails on Selkirk College’s Castlegar campus grounds are nearing completion. This extensive trail system winds through a variety of terrain, along attractive waterfront areas, through acres of low shrubs and 5O- year-old forest The public is welcome, but users are asked not to leave the well-marked trails system, as the college grounds are used extensively for fragile environ- mental, botanical, and wildlife forage experiments, a college news release says. “Some of our experimental plots are many years along and could easily be disrupted by uncontrolled pets, or careless riders,"’ said Gordon Gibson, head of the college’s wildland recreation program. ‘*For this reason we must ask that pets be ona leash, ard advise that bicycles and motorized vehicles are prohibited from the Schola The trail system was designed by Gibson and constructed by students working under the Challenge 88 and 89 student summer employment programs and crews funded by the Castlegar Development Board with GOB.C. grants. Gibson said the trail system was con- structed in conjunction with the exten- sive development of college grounds for the instruction of renewable resource technology students who are training for jobs as park wardens, wildlife technicians and forest technologists. Located on college grounds are eight tree plantations and various wildlife forage experiments The next phase of the trail develop- ment plan will see the installation of in- terpretive signs and the publication of an interpretive brochure produced co- operatively by students in the wildland recreation and graphic com- munications programs rships announced West Kootenay notary public Walter A.

Seniors want to keep busy By JUDY CREIGHTON The Canadian Press Workers in their 50s who take early retirement are often in for a shock once the glow of ‘freedom ‘from the workaday world wears off, says a counsellor for a seniors employment agency **One aspect that is freqently forgot- ten by these people is that unless they continue to contribute to the Canada Pension Plan, they will not get the full rate of return when they reach 65,”’ says Steve Stevens. Stevens, 72, places retirees in full- and part-time temporary positions through Seniors For Business. Both big and small companies are clients of the Toronto-based agency. Stevens says most of the potential employees he assesses have taken early retirement with a ‘golden handshake”’ or some type of severance or set- tlement. *“We've been swamped with seniors who want to keep busy and need the ex- tra cash to supplement their incomes," he said, “Many of these people are happy to earn $10 or $12.an hour just to meet the higher costs of food and housing.”” HIRE SENIORS Many companies are finding it economical to hire temporary workers — especially older workefs “Employers are waking up to the reality that older Workers “are ex tremely desirable,” says Peter Cook, founder of Seniors For Business. “They have cultivated the necessary social and technical skills and have a deep commitment to the work ethic.” Cook is & former senior executive with several major Canadian com- panies. He is also an author, lecturer and former business professor at University of Toronto The employment agency, started in January, is associated with Seniors For Seniors, which since 1985 has been providing home. care, Companioii drivers, home cleaners and other workers to help older people in the Toronto area. Seniors For Business has a philosophy ‘‘that age, whether designated by law or arbitrarily im posed by custom, should not be a barrier to continuing active em- ployment,"’ Cook says. LOYAL, RELIABLE Cook says he hai been told by “em- ployers that older workers bring an adaptability into their offices, not only because of their experience, but through their life skills. “They find them reliable and loyal,”’ he says. The only difficulty for many older workers is that they lack experience on word processors and other modern ‘computer equipment, Cook says. “A 58-year-old woman who is an excellent executive secretary may have to update her skills by learning the new technology, but many employers are flexible'and are willing to trainthem."" Employers who register with Seniors For Business pay an annual member- ship fee of $50, Stevens says most of the people listed with the agency are experienced in general office duties, bookkeeping and accounting, sales and marketing and as consultants and managers. “Sometimes a business may not want to hire a full-time manager or when existing managers are tem porarily indisposed,"’ Cook says. “We can send in an interim manager to en-* sure an operation continues to fun: ction smoothly.” Cook plans to expand Seniors For Business to other major Canadian cities this fall, One way will be by of- fering seniors a chance to buy a 49-per- cent interest in an agency branch for about $25,000, he says. “The concept carries itself. We are serving aneed on every side.”” Rainbow Chequing Savings Account CASTLEGAR SAVINGS CREDIT UNION YOUR COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CENTRE FOR OVER 40 YEARS!
