Professional biologist
Janies Dalton will use slides
and examples to teach the
layman about improving the
habitat for local salmon dur­
ing a three-hour seminar on
Nov. 3, at the John Inskeep
Environmental Learning
Center (ELC) at Clackamas
Community College.
Dalton explained it is possi­
ble to re-establish the lost
salmon run in any creek or
stream. The seminar will teach
public awareness on the
habitats salmon need, show
how those habitats can be im­
proved and possibly re-stock
nearby Newell Creek.
The seminar will go into
detail about many methods of
salmon production, for in­
stance, the “Hatchbox” pro­
gram, where salmon are grown
from egg to maturity in the
natural environment of a local
creek.
Dalton emphasized the local
aspect of salmon production,
and encourages all those with
even a small interest to get ac­
tively involved with the center
and the program.
When asked to compare his
program to the larger commer­
cial hatcheries that produce
huge numbers of salmon
around the state, Dalton ex­
plained the Salmon Trout
Enhancement
Program
(STEP) focuses on improving
natural habitat so fish can
replenish more or less on their
own, whereas the commercial
hatcheries are concerned with
the number of salmon getting
hatched and into thp (usually
coastal) rivers.
The cost of the “Salmon in
our Backyard” seminar is $5
($3 for ELC members). Those
interested in participating can

that Zimmerman provides is
certification for the targeted
job tax credit program. This
program gives employers a tax
break if the employee is from a
low-income family.
Zimmerman is currently
putting together lists of
Christmas seasonal jobs. She
said a “majority of these jobs
are in Clackamas Town
Center” in the sales field.
Also,« Zimmerman said
groundwork is being laid for a
senior job center. This will
help place senior citizens in
available jobs in the area.
All jobs listed at the
employment division in
Oregon City are listed here
also, Zimmerman said. “The
information is also available
for students here. The only
jobs we don’t know about are
those just phoned in that
day,” she said. Otherwise, the
lists are available here at the
College.
Zimmerman has worked in
high schoof and college job
placement with the Oregon Ci­
ty Employment Division and
