The ideal bed is approximately 8 inches high by 3-4 feet wide. Site selection is the first step, and the site must be conducive to the plants. Factors such as amount of sun, wind, deer and rabbits are also important. Other steps include amending the soil, shaping the beds, when to plant, correct spacing, fertil izing and watering schedule. For more information on this tech nique, ask the Master Garden ers for the publication entitled 'Raised Bed Gardening in Jefferson County', which is the source of the tips listed above. To see some great examples of raised bed gardening, visit the Jefferson County Fairgrounds Demonstration Garden in Ma dras.

To encour Good advice for By Shawnclle Surplus Community Advocate As the Warm Springs Com munity Action Team focuses on breaking cycles of poverty, we are interested in helping people attain the skills necessary to bring themselves out of poverty. Obviously, work-related skills are essential to getting a better job and getting out of poverty (or not going there in the first place), I was fortunate to have been asked to make some presenta tions at this year's orientation for new Summer Youth Workers. As I prepared a presentation on "work ethic," it occurred to me that unless those who support our youth know what they're being taught, we're only setting them up for failure. So, here are some expecta tions we employers, parents, and other supporters of youth can have of them - and help them attain: Arrive: Employers count on employees showing up to get the work done. If you must be ab sent, contact your supervisor as soon as possible and only be absent for good reason. Arrive on time: In order to stay in business, employers need to get work done in a timely manner. An employee who wants to stay employed and, for review are on file in the corresponding departments. For more information or cop ies of the project assessment stop by the Forestry Branch of fice, or call 553-2416. Tribal members have 30 days to com ment on the proposed sale. When the comment period has expired, the Resource Man agement Interdisciplinary Team will review and respond to all of the tribal member comments. They will then complete a deci sion document with their recom mendation on how best to implement and mitigate the project. sale audience. Tribal member comments will be used to develop a project assessment for the sale. The proposed 2006 timber sale will be in the Shitike and Boulder creek watersheds. age growing your own veggies, a drawing will be held for plants. Everyone who attends will be eligible, and the Master Gardners will announce the win ner at the end of the session. Small Hands to Hold Love Fact: Children from age two to seventeen start fires that endanger lives, cause injuries, death and burn millions of dollars in property. Fact: Children under the age of three cause a majority of these fires and lose their lives in the process. This does not have to happen. Parents need to teach their children about the dangers of fire and create a fire-safe home. Install Smoke AMERIND offers Home and Fire Safety Training to Children in Indian Country.

Also rec ognize that you make it harder not only on your employer, but also on your coworkers when you are late or absent. Arrive ready to work: To get work done, employees need to be in a working frame of mind and have with them all of the necessary tools to get work done. Unnecessary and frequent personal calls and visitors make it hard for employees to get their work done. Support the success of your friends and families at work by holding less-pressing conversa tions after work hours. Arrive dressed to work: Dressing for success means dressing appropriately for your tasks. "Appropriate attire" might be a white shirt and black slacks if you're waiting tables, or it might be a bathing suit if you're a lifeguard. Whatever is appropriate for your job, know that if you want to be successful at work, you need to dress the part. Arrive willing to work: Em ployment is a privilege, not a right. People who will be suc cessful at work are those willing to do not only what is asked of them, but whatever else they see needs to be done. If you're the type of em ployee who goes above and be yond the call to make the com pany a success, you're the em ployee that employers will work to keep on the team.

Plan an Escape Route youth only way to move up the ladder in any organization is to prove yourself worthy with the smaller assignments. Be accountable: Everyone messes up; and every employer knows that. An employee who makes excuses for mistakes it annoying at best, and dangerous at worst. A good employer un derstands that "stuff happens." Be honest, and work with your supervisor to figure out what you could do differently next time. Professionalism is key: Re gardless of your position, pro fessionalism is always respected by employers. Dealing with the public and co-workers honestly and respectfully, refraining from gossiping, taking "the high road", and giving 100 at work will only lead to more job op portunities. Finally, my parents' mantra: "don't burn your bridges." You never know when you might need your current employer as a reference. If your current position isn't working out, be thoughtful in how you will communicate that to your employer. Perhaps the two of you can find a position better suited to you - or at the very least, he or she will respect your professionalism and make it that much more likely that you will get a good recommen dation from him or her.
