Older Workers Week *j through the *7 as Older Workers Week has a special meaning for SC Albemarle t ardfl citizens. As employees of the ^ North Carolina Green - Thumb Program, they are the : focul of activities throughout the State that bring to light the achievements of the older worker. Green Thumbs work 20 - houhs a week for various i public, non-profit agencies throughout the 10 county . area. Examples of the agen cies, that participate in the program are: Elizabeth City Boys Club, Hertford Gram mar School, Hyde County Health Department, Chowan Hospital, Edenton-Chowan Recreation Department, Gates County Community Center, Albemarle Commis sion’s Nutrition Program, Currituck County and Dare County Department of Social Services. Total there are 30 agencies involved. The workers receive the federal minimum wage for their work, but they reap many other benefits besides their check. Opportunities to be back on the job, to use skills that cna help others, to use idle time to benefit not on ly themselves but others, and exposure to other possible jobs, are just a few of the advantages. Take, for example, Elizabeth Williams of Frisco in Dare County. Mrs. Williams, 80 years young, coordianates a telephone reassurance program in her section of Hatteraa Island. She applied for a position with Green Thumb when she found that she had a lot of idle time with nothing to do. Now, from her home, she calls almost 200 elderly and shut in people a week, talking with them about problems, referring them to programs that can assist them., helping set up appoint ments with agencies and doc tors, and as she puts it, “talk ing, singing, praying, anything that will help them out.” Skills she learned while working as the Postmistress years earlier helped her adapt quickly-to iler duties. And because she keeps up with programs are avialable,. she provides needed answers to many people each day, as well as a cheerful voice of concern. But not all of Green Thumb’s programs work on ly with the elderly. Irene Hooker, of Columbia, applied for wprk when she realized that her spare time could pro vide extra income for her and her husband, who is disabled. She was placed in the District Health Department in Colum bia as a clerical and officer aide.. Not quite a year later, Mrs. Hooker was hired by her agency as a permanent employee, a tribute to her for her good work while a Green Thumber. Now, even at the age of 62, Irene has a job to keep her occupied till she retires, which her agency hopes is a ways down the road. The fact that these two workers and all the Green Thumbers in this area are do ing such a good job is no sur prise to the agencies that are associated with the program. Patti White, Senior Center Director for the Perquimans County Parks and Recreation Department list the advan tages of the older worker as: 1, timelyness, 2. less absenteeism, 3. dependabili ty, 4. years of experience to call upon the job, 5. less time loss due to sickness, and 6. greater appreciation of the value of a job. Mrs. White speaks from experience as she has three older workers at the center. During Older Workers Week, remember the older worker for not only their con tribution to theirselves but for their efforts to make our area a better place to live.
