It Takes Teamwork To Promote Area BY HOLLY RICHARDS, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT South Brunswick Islands Chamber Of Commerce Evci iiau writers block? Well, I do. Every single week when my deadline ncars, I don't have a clue as to the subject of this column. Every Friday I sit in front of the computer and as soon as I start to type the words just flow out. Some may call it a gift, I call it earning my keep. Writing this column is one of the fun things that I get u> do as your chamber exec. What you don't see is what happens behind the scenes. You all know that I'm on the road. ..a lot. There arc many times when Friday has crept up on me. I find myself standing in a hotel lobby, faxing a handwritten column to the of fice. (I haven't quite perfected the technique of writ ing and driving at the same lime). Angela types it and rushes it to the Beacon on time. Whew! Thai's RICHARDS what you call team work. You might ask why I don't type columns in advance? Things happen tew quickly around here. If I write a column in advance, it'll be old news. Besides, I like a g(xul chal lenge. It comes with the territory and keeps the brain stimulated. Another fun thing is my radio show on WCCA. Lee Michaels is a joy to work with. On "Chamber Chat" I have an open forum and whatev er I want to do, goes. Again, what you don't see is what goes on behind the scenes. Many times I'm on the road, so I'll do a call in, live from where ever 1 am. Sometimes even from the car, and you can imagine that Lee and 1 are both crossing our fingers that we don't lose the signal. Or we'll go into the studio and cut a tape to broadcast at the scheduled time so that you won't miss one minute of the fun. We make a good team. Teamwork also is involved with our volunteers who work our travel shows. We have many dedicated volunteers who devote their time and money to work a travel show for our chamber. As a matter of fact, while you're reading this column, I'll be on the road at a show in Greensboro, working side by side with the volunteers who arc helping promote the South Brunswick Islands. We're all in it for the same reason. To let peo ple know about the South Brunswick Islands. It takes a concentratcd team effort to make things come together. Next week we'll have our scheduled board of directors meeting at West Brunswick High School as part of the chamber's effort to become more involved with education. And then we'll be in Raleigh, hosting "The Gathering," a business after hours for Raleigh residents. Promoting the South Brunswick Islands. That's a team effort on the part of our board of directors. Teamwork that's the spirit! How's that for not knowing what I'm going to write about? Hmmmm, not too shabby, I guess.

Two Area Agencies Help Local Seniors Move Into Workforce several local agencies have pro grams that help to focus attention on the special needs of older workers and encourage employers to give them an equal opportunity to work and use their many assets. Rosa Handley of the Employment Security Commission office in Wil mington, said the role of older work ers is becoming increasingly impor tant bccausc the labor market is ae ing. By the year 2000, older workers are expected to comprise a major part of the labor force. The ESC or Job Service Office is one of two agencies serving Bruns wick County that help place older workers in jobs, helping to see that seniors are given an equal chance to work. The other is the United Way's Senior AIDES program. The ESC's Older Worker Pro gram is funded by JPTA, the Job Partnership Training Act, and is available to individuals ages 55 and older who are economically disad vantaged. Its goal is to provide clients with a variety of employ ment, training and job development services so that they may obtain un subsidized employment. At least 83 percent of the individ uals enrolled will find jobs as a re sult of their participation. As part of the program, partici pants' strengths and weaknesses are examined, as well as what realisti cally can be accomplished through JTPA and other community re sources to meet participants' needs. Counseling assists clients in mak ing a suitable vocational choice, coaching helps polish job-seeking skills. Participants also leani to pre pare resumes and properly complete applications. Job Club is available to these se niors in an effort to help them learn effective methods of finding a job and presenting themselves to pros pective employers. Mrs. Handley, program operator, can be contacted through the Brunswick ESC office in Shallotie, 754-6120. Dewey Graham directs the Senior AIDES Program of the United Way. AIDES is the acronym for Alert Industrious Dedicated Energetic Service ? what Graham says senior workers provide their employers. The purposes of the program arc to provide employment of low-in come residents age 55 and older, to assist community scrvice agencies in expanding their programs; and to help develop, increase and sharpen the skills of the older worker to make them competitive in the labor market. The program provides part-time iobs for 75 seniors in a four-countv area that includes Brunswick County. Eligibility to work is based on age, place of residence and family income. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor under Tide V of the Older Americans Act. Interested applicants may contact either the Job Service Office (ESC) in Brunswick County or contact Graham at 919-251-5(M0 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. While March 8-14 has been set aside as "Employ an Older Worker Week," Graham said the agency works year-round to help others rec ognize the value of the mature work force and to encourage employers to hire and retain senior workers. "Stability, reliability, dependabili ty and trainability ? these are just some of the traits older workers bring to any job," he said. "There is no question; the workforce is getting older and that means companies will start depending more and more on the over45-somcthing generation."
