With the aid of a splint, Ron fills out invoices, answers the phone and does some filing. (Anne Narejko photo) Ron Nesbitt tackles job head-on By Anne Narejko BLYTH - Radford's is providing an oppor- tunity for a young man that will give him a feeling of independence and self-worth. And the best part of it is that Radford's is benefiting as well. Not too long ago, Ron Nesbitt had a swim- ming accident which caused serious damage. The result was that Ron was left as a quadraplegic. Prior to this, the 22 -year-old worked with his father in the construction business for many years, the last three as a full time employee. Needless to say, Ron could not return to his job after the accident. But things have turned around somewhat for Ron. One day when he was at home, Doug Scrimgeour of Radford's, stopped by and asked Ron if he would be interested in tak- ing on a job. The job would allow him the ,freedom of !pricing the number of days per week he felt capable of. Ron accepted, and on August 1 he started his job in the shipping/receiving depart- ment on Main Street Blvth. With a desk built especially for him by Don Hill, another employee, and a writing splint, Ron was ready to tackle his job. As Mr. Serimgeour had initially said, Ron is allowed to work when he can and stay home when he doesn't feel up to it. "I don't have any real schedule," said Ron. "Just as long as I get the work done." At the present time, Ron's job is one con- sidered a "jack of all trades" job. He does filing, answers the phone and fills out in- voices. Ron says he's managing well and is enjoy- ing his new rob and his parents are behind him 100 per cent. "They say it's better than sitting around the house," said Ron. Mr. Scrimgeour is another person who is pleased with Ron's on-the-job performance. "It's worked out very well," he said. "We're very, very pleased with Ron's pro- gress and were more pleased with his attitude." Most companies hire more staff because their business is expanding or getting busier, and that's the case with Radford's. "We're getting busier, the store's getting busier and we needed help," said Mr. Scrimgeour. "It's benefiting Radford's as much as it is Ron. We're both winners."
