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

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,

departments.

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.

of employment must respect
their employer's time. 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.

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.
