Duar _ Alby DEAR ABBY: It’s summer vaca tion time, and many high school graduates probably are still out looking for jobs. Two or three years ago, you published some good advice for young people on how to dress, how to act and what to say when applying for a job. I cut it out tosave, and now I can't find it. I have a grandson I want to send it to. Please print it again. It could help me and a lot of young people. Thank you DULUTH GRANDPARENT DEAR GRANDPARENT: The advice to which you refer first separ et in William Raspberry’ column. He quoted Karen Rak, a high school English teacher in Strongsville, Ohio, who com- posed a letter from an employer to let youthful job seekers see themselves as they are seen. I am pleased to print it again. It deserves as much exposure as it can get: “DEAR’KID: Today you came to me for a job. From the look of. your shoulders as you walked out, [suspect you’¥e been turned down before, and maybe you believe by now that kids your age can’t find jobs. “But I hired a teen-ager today. Yousaw him. What was so special about him? Not experience; nei- ther of you had any. Attitude, son. A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E. He did his best toimpress me. That is where he edged you out. “He wasn’t dressed like Easter but then that wasn’t ary. His clothes were clean, and he had gotten a hair- cut. He filled out the application form neatly and completely. He did not ask to borrow a pen. He carried his Social Security card, had ba: identification and did ‘What's a reference” “He didn’t start to chew gum or smoke while being inter- viewed. He didn’t keep looking at his watch, giving me the im- pression that he had something more important to do. “He took the time to find out how we ‘operate’ here and what his day-to-day tasks would be. I think he’ll keep his eyes open and work for me like he’d work for himself. “He was willing to start at that point where I could afford to pay. Someday, perhaps, he'll get to the point where he'll have more authority over others and a better paycheck. “You know, kid, men have al- d to get a job like you get a gi ase the situation, wear a clean shirt and try to appear reasonably willing. “Maybe jobs aren’t as plenti- ful right now, but there are jobs. You may not believe it, but all around you employers are look- ing for young men and women smart enough to go after a job in the old-fashioned way. “If you have even the vaguest idea of what I'm trying to say, let it show the next time you ask for a job. You will be head and shoulders above the rest. “For both our sakes, get eager, will you? THE BOSS” ee8 DEAR ABBY: I'm getting mar- ried this fall, and I am faced with a difficult question. lam having a large formal wedding, but I do not know who should walk me down the aisle My father died when I was very young, and I am not really close to any other male family members. Would it be appropriate for my mother to walk me down the aisle? If not, whom would you recommend? K.K. IN BOULDER, COLO. DEAR K.K.: Of course your mother may walk you down the aisle. Or you might consider walking halfway down the aisle alone — the groom could meet you in the middle, and together you could make the trek to the altar. DEAR ABBY: I went to the doctor the other day, and after he examined me, he said I needed a hysterectomy Abby, I am an unmarried 28-year old woman, and this is a major deci- sion I went home and told my family Kephary emery MMB. phisen AUTOMOTIVE DIRECTORY August 7, 1991 My mother didn't express an opinion one way or the other. My-father told me todo what I thought was best, My it said I shouldn't have it done ‘ause I will gain a lot of weight afterward. I talked to two of my best friends, and they both said I shouldn't do it Now I don’t know what to do. I want to do what's best for me, but I also want to keep my family and friends happy. What should I do? MAJOR PROBLEM DEAR PROBLEM: Keeping your. family and friends happy should be your last consideration in making this decision. Stop asking friends and fam- ily for their opinions — they mean well, but they are not qualified to advise you. See an- other gynecologist for a second opinion, and if the second opin- ion isn’t the same as the first, get a third opinion. if: not juainted with the gynecologists in your area, call your county medical asso- ciation. I wish you well. Most teen-agers do not know the facts about drugs, AIDS and how to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Company, pulp union at an impasse in contract negotiations By SIMON BIRCH Edito! og Celgar Pulp Co. locked out some 300 workers Wednesday night in response to disruptions at the Castlegar pulp mill by members of the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada as the two sides continue to haggle over local issues in con- tract negotiations. The company had given 72 hours lockout notice on Aug. 2 to the union, which has been in a legal position to strike since July 27. Celgar general manager Jim Browne said in a news release Thursday the union had instructed operating crews to cut production rates to about 70 per cent. “In addition, crews were reporting 1-1/2 hours late at each shift change, and other harassment tactics were occurring including on-the-job study sessions,” Browne said. PPWC Local 1 spokesman Cal Him described the disruptions as “basically production slow- downs” but said the union was prepared to stop the job action if the company was willing to con- tinue meeting and there were signs of progress in the talks. “On Aug. 7 the negotiating committee of PPWC Local 1 gave a commitment to Celgar that (the union members) would cease any production cur- tailment activities as long as the meetings contin- ued,” he said. “The members of the union required & commitment on behalf of Celgar pulp and a sign of on the g issues was re- quired in order for that commitment to continue.” Him said union ‘sare di d Cel- of Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers y ig after the y Please see CELGAR page A2 locked them out Wednesday night. ‘Celgar locks out workers CasNews photo by Simon Birch of Canada Local 1 stand by the entrance to the Ceigar pulp mill CasNews photo by Ed Mills Bill Stefoniuk has lived in his house on Columbia Avenue for 20 years and even though he’s in favor of the Robson-Castlegar bridge project, he’s not rea ly to give up his prime, riverside property without being fairly Residents by the g want fair Forest d istrict’s luck holding out Expected lightning storms miss area twice last week By CasNews Staff The Arrow forest district must have horseshoes this year. For the second day in a row Friday, forest fire fighters breathed a sigh of relief after a lightning storm expected to elec- trify Castlegar passed the city by. As a result, no new forest fires were reported in the Arrow district over the past week, said duty officer Bill Hopp. “It just missed us again,” Hopp said Friday morning, referring to a storm system that carried with it a 60 per cent chance of lightning and a 40 per cent chance of intense lightning. The district’s good fortune started Tuesday when a storm in the Castlegar area that pro- duced about 250 lightning strikes didn’t cause any new fires in the district. It continued Wednesday when the first of two systems expected to pelt the area failed to show And in fact, luck has been on the district’s side throughout the entire forest fire season as the number of fires compared to last year is down, as is the amount of money spent battling the blazes. There’s been 28 fires in the district to date, compared 35 at this time last year while $103,900 has been spent, down from $230,531 last year. Just nine hectares of forest have been claimed by fire this. season. “It’s got to be weather pat- terns, with the (larger) amount of rainfall we’ve had this year compared to last'year,” said Hopp. As of Wednesday, six fires were reported in the district, all in the Nakusp area and all rem- nants of a lightning storm there last week, said Hopp. deal for property By ED MILLS Staff Writer Residents who will lose their homes or property when the Robson-Castlegar bridge is built say they won’t stand in the way of progress — as long as they’re fair- ly rewarded. Just how much money over market value the government will pay for the Properties remains the question on the minds of some homeowners as they await the next move by the Ministry of High- ways Neither Bill Stefoniuk nor Hans Kol- man are against building the bridge, but neither are they willing to give up prime, riverside property for a song. Both men said their initial contact with ministry officials was positive, but both are also reserving judgment until the nuts and bolts negotiations begin. “Once we start negotiating then we'll know if they’re going to be fair or not, but my first impression is that they’re going to be fair,” said Stefoniuk, who has lived in his house at 95 Columbia Ave. for 20 years. “They give you an offer, you make @ counter offer, and if you can’t Negotiate & price it goes to an arbitrator,” said Ste- foniuk as he had his morning coffee on his sundeck overlooking the river. “I don’t think it’s going to be great deal, but I think it could be a decent deal,” said the Celgar Pulp Co. worker. The government usually brings in two appraisers to take a look at the property, then offers five per cent over the appraised value, said local real estate agent Barry Brown. Brown says the houses in Stefoniuk’s area are in the $60,000 to $90,000 range. On the other side of the river, Kolman probably won’t have to move from his home at 962 Waldie Rd. in Robson, but the ministry has informed him that an access road will cut across a portion of his property. Kolman said the two min- By CasNews Staff At th blic ming of e@ public ope $4,322,395 was lowest istry rep ves who t d him two weeks ago were very “businesslike and gentlemanly,” but he hasn’t been giv- en many specifics on when negotiations will start or what part of his property is on the table. “I don’t know what kind of compensa- tion I’m going to get for the land they're taking off me,” said Kolman. “They haven’t come up with anything yet and given no schedule of when things are going to get moving.” Nevertheless, Kolman, as well as Ste- foniuk, is a strong proponent of the bridge. “I think to put the bridge in there is a good thing, and if some people have to suffer because of it, so be it,” he said. “I don’t really want to lose ‘where I’m at, but if you got to move you got to move. immi ds to Trail firm wins $4.3m high school contract Marbella Pacific Construction of Trail and Delta has been awarded the contract to renovate Stanley Humphries secondary school, the Castlegar school we very pleased we're going ahead now,” Gordon'Turner said.
