Satisfy your appetite at Sammy J’s! N E W AT T I T U D E - N E W M E N U If you haven’t dined at Sammy J Pepper’s for a while, you, and your palate, will be pleasantly surprised by the changes that have evolved over the past few months. The six-restaurant chain, owned and run by brothers Mike and Steve Gardner, has given itself a face-lift by revamping its menu, its décor, philosophy and its name. In keeping with its new identity and new concept, Sammy J Peppers is now Sammy J’s Grill & Bar. It’s the place to come in Burnaby to experience new ﬂavours, sensations, mingle, have fun, and most of all, satisfy your appetite with sinfully delicious, healthy food.

Coming this fall, look for novel artisan ﬂatbread pizzas with a twist, additional pasta dishes and healthy Oceanwise seafood plates, to name just a few. “We will have daily feature sheets, all in keeping with our philosophy of keeping it simple and fresh,” says Steve. There’s no pretension here; just unabashed good times. It’s an eatery where customers can mingle during a football game and bond over a beer or glass of wine, or for a family to

come and enjoy a fun dining experience. The setting is comfortable, warm and inviting; with oversized leather seating that beg unhurried dining and large high deﬁnition televisions. “We want to be the destination for sports enthusiasts and we will show all Pay-Per-View Events,” adds Steve.

Even when Mike and Steve aren’t working, their passion for food lives on.They recently placed second in the chicken category out of 50 culinary teams from across North America in the prestigious Canadian National BBQ Championships, held in Whistler.

Foreign-trained workers get a boost New program will make accountants eligible to work in Canada sooner; doctors and teachers to follow Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The federal government is working to streamline the accreditation process for foreign-trained accountants, Canada’s minister of small business and tourism announced on Thursday. The other seven industries receiving funding to make working in Canada easier for foreign-trained workers include engineering and some health professions, according to minister Rob Moore. The government plans to focus on six other professions, including teachers and doctors, by December 2012, Moore said at a press conference in Burnaby. The government funding is designed to make it easier to attract and hire foreigntrained professionals, Moore explained. “Newcomers need to have their credentials recognized,” he said. “I commend those of you from CGA for taking the initiative to help foreign-trained individuals integrate into the workforce.” Labour shortages in certain professions are a challenge for Canada, he said. Streamlining the accreditation assessment process is “crucial to Canada’s longterm economic success,” Moore added. The other priority industries will be announced within the year, Moore said. Moore made the announcement on behalf of Diane Finley, minister of human resources and skills development, at the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada’s Burnaby headquarters. The ministry gave CGA Canada $990,993 for its Foreign Credential Recognition National Harmonization project. It is a national online self-assessment tool that evaluates foreign-trained

Changes: Rob Moore, federal minister of state for small business and tourism, makes an announcement in Burnaby Thursday about a new program that will streamline the process for foreign-trained accountants to work in Canada. accountants’ education and experience, said Anthony Ariganello, president and CEO of CGA. “They can do it all online without having to visit an office,” he explained. The assessment is designed to inform applicants of what steps they need to take to become certified accountants in Canada, based on their individual qualifications, he said. He thanked Moore for the funding. “It will allow us to develop a muchneeded resource for foreign-trained

accountants,” Ariganello said. The online assessment will make it easier to attract qualified foreign-trained accountants, he added, because it is a simpler process. “It will save them considerable time and guesswork,” Ariganello said, adding those interested in working in Canada are often eager to work and can sometimes, understandably, become impatient with the steps necessary to get certification here. He thanked Lyle Handfield, the asso-

ciation’s vice-president of finance and human resources, for leading the initiative. CGA Canada has a membership of more than 73,000 accountants and students across the country. The Federal Credential Recognition Program is part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan and was formed to help provinces and territories – as well as employers – in assessing the qualifications of workers trained outside of Canada. www.twitter.com/janayafe

Chevron refinery shutting down for a month Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Chevron’s refinery in North Burnaby plans to shut down operations for more than a month, but it doesn’t mean things will be quiet on the northern front. Neighbours living in the area can expect slightly higher than normal traffic to and from the refinery while scheduled maintenance is completed between Sept. 17 and Oct. 26.

There is also a chance the refinery’s flare will be higher than normal, both at the beginning of the process and at the end. Residents living near the refinery have all been sent the Burnaby refinery’s Neighbourhood News newsletter, alerting them of the shutdown, said public affairs manager Ray Lord. The refinery usually closes for a period during the fall and spring for scheduled maintenance, but this will be the third-largest shut-

These are key pieces of equipment in the refining process, Lord said, and receive major maintenance every five years. Maintenance of the fluid catalytic cracker will include inspecting 21 vessels and cleaning 21 heat exchanges and replacing key components of the unit, to

In the case of the sulphur recovery unit, staff will inspect 13 vessels and clean 18 heat exchangers, as well as replace the catalyst and service the molten sulphur containment tank, Erickson said. The refinery is a 24-7 operation, and specialized contractors will enter and leave the refinery in shifts. Last week’s question Do you think the Burnaby RCMP needs a new facility?

This could increase traffic along Penzance Drive and Willingdon Avenue for the month, Lord said. “Some might notice a minor increase in traffic in the refinery area.” There will be an additional 250 contractors on site, according to the newsletter. Erickson stated that there could be unusual noises from the refinery, but disruptions should be minimal.

Where has all the compost gone? City’s food waste collection program is catching on Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby residents are trying out the new food waste collection program in Burnaby with mostly positive results. But people should keep in mind that plastic bags are not compostable, said Steve Aujla, executive vice-president of Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre. Fraser Richmond is the company that composts wood, yard and food waste for the Lower Mainland region. “We still have a small group of residents in Burnaby who are using plastic bags,” Aujla said. “Plastic is a real problem for us.” Other than that, Aujla said, most residents are complying with the new food waste collection regulations. Fraser Richmond sells the compost it produces back to parks boards in the municipalities the yard and food waste comes from, and also commercially. Residents can purchase compost, soil containing compost, top dressing, mulch and more directly

from the company, thereby completing the composting cycle, Aujla said. It is called “closing the loop,” in recycling, he said. “It’s very rare to achieve it (completely),” Aujla said, but added with composting, it is possible. Products can be bought wholesale in large quanti-

ties from Fraser Richmond and will be delivered, or they can be bought from Greenway Landscape Supply at 3888 Marine Way, he said. The company has been operating in Richmond since 1993, he said, and has been accepting curbside collected yard waste

from municipalities since the mid-’90s. Yard and food waste is transferred to Fraser Richmond from Burnaby’s Still Creek depot and is mixed with green material and wood. “We have a bit of a recipe,” Aujla said. The mixture is left to

sit in batches for seven to nine weeks as natural organisms break down the organic material, turning it into compost. “They do a lot of the magic,” he said. Fraser Richmond is not a waste management company but a compost and soil producer, Aujla explained.

“We’re just facilitating what Mother Nature does best.” Last year, the company processed 235,000 tonnes of organic waste and produced 32,000 dump truck loads of compost, soil and mulch, according to the company’s records. Waste Page 10

A reading between 0.05 and the criminally liable 0.08 will earn the errant driver a three-day driving ban and a $200 fine. Getting caught at that level more than once within five years ups the ante to a seven-day ban and $300 the second time, and a 30-day ban with a $400 fine for a third time.

Research has shown that, although below the Criminal Code’s radar, drivers with breath alcohol levels between 0.05 and 0.08 per cent are seven times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than sober drivers are. Numbers of impaired driving charges rose 18 per cent from 2008 to 2009. That is unacceptable. That is, in fact, fatally unacceptable.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Energy projects follow rules Dear Editor:

Trying to comprehend the massive environmental devastation caused in a few brief moments by the recent Pemberton landslide is a mind-boggling exercise, to say the least. Mother Nature awed us all with her display of destructive power, sending 40 million cubic metres of rock, sand, trees and debris crashing down Mount Meager, tearing away roads and bridges and blocking Meager Creek and the Lillooet River. Approximately 1,500 people were forced to flee their homes and another 2,500 were put on evacuation alert. It’s absolutely amazing that no one was killed or seriously injured by this natural disaster.

For those who have followed the ongoing discussion about renewable clean energy in B.C., the Pemberton slide provides an interesting point of comparison to the frequent, but completely misinformed, claim that renewable energy projects cause environmental devastation. Unlike Mother Nature, renewable energy projects are subject to strict environmental regulations with more than 50 approvals, permits, licences and reviews needed from 14 government regulatory bodies before they can proceed. The list of environmental regulations and legislation that renewable energy projects must comply with includes the Province’s Water Act, Land Act, Fish Protection Act, Forest Act and Wildlife Act, as

well as the federal Species at Risk Act, Fisheries Act and Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, to name just a few. We can’t control Mother Nature or the devastation she chooses to unleash, but we can control what we do, and the responsible approach we’ve adopted in order to secure the clean energy we need here in B.C. ensures that any impacts renewable energy projects might have on the environment are minimal and fully mitigated. Mother Nature may not have to play by the rules, but renewable energy producers do. And despite the awesome environmental devastation that Mother Nature can cause, the care that goes into the development of renewable energy projects in this province is well worth the time and effort. David Field, B.C. Citizens for Green Energy

Future jobs in clean energy Dear Editor:

Jobs, jobs, jobs! It’s a topic of conversation for any young person heading into

their 20s. That’s why it’s a relief to see the B.C. economy showing such strong signs of emerging from the global recession. Key economic indicators in mining, forestry and construction have all been up, which is great news. Considering the fact that natural resources are the backbone of the B.C. economy, the eyes of many young British Columbians, like myself, are trained on B.C.’s emerging clean energy sector. After all, ours is the generation that will feel the brunt of climate change. So not only do we want to build strong, successful lives and careers in this province, we also want to be part of solving the world’s energy problems. No other place in North America has the green energy potential B.C. has. Developing the province’s green energy resources means jobs for thousands of young people. The world is a different place from what it was before the global recession. It’s a world with an eye to cleaning up the global energy supply and making it sustainable and renewable. I feel fortunate to be part of the exciting future B.C. has in store for my generation. David Leung, Burnaby

Tamils: Humane response required continued from page 6

grant them due process. Here’s another curious comparison: The real and significant Canadian immigration story of recent years (at least measured numerically) isn’t about refugees or people arriving by boats. It’s about the explosion in temporary foreign workers. The number of temporary foreign workers coming into Canada each year now exceeds 200,000 and now surpasses the number of immigrants. But the Harper government hasn’t been sounding the alarm about this. On the contrary, the federal government has been promoting and facilitating the massive growth in this category of migrants. Why? Because unlike regular immigrants and refugees, these workers are being specifically requested by employers, their indentured status makes them unable to exercise key employment rights and leaves them highly vulnerable to exploitation and unsafe conditions, and they are unable to make the

same claims to the social and economic rights that Canadians take for granted. Immigration is central to the story of Canada – waves of people who came, mostly to meet a domestic need for labour, and sometimes fleeing harm and conflict. But historically, once people arrived, either as immigrants or refugees, they were upon landing met with a social contract: They could avail themselves of the social and economic rights Canadians enjoyed and in a few years could be granted the full rights of citizenship. With the explosion of temporary workers and tightening of regular immigration admissions, the government is effectively saying, “that deal is off – we’re happy to have temporary indentured labour, but don’t think you can be a Canadian.” When my parents arrived in the ’60s, a small minority in Canada were keen to label the Vietnam war resisters with all manner of unwelcome labels – much as the Canadian government is currently doing with

respect to the Tamil asylum-seekers today, quickly labelling them as terrorists, criminals and queue-jumpers. But for the most part, the Vietnam war resisters were welcomed and went on to make a valuable contribution to Canadian society. Much the same can be said of the Vietnamese boat people who arrived in the late 1970s. Why can’t these better receptions be the norm, rather than the xenophobia that characterizes more recent arrivals? And here’s what troubles me most. In a world still coming to terms with the reality of climate change, the truth is that the number of global climate migrants and displaced people will soon dwarf the UN numbers sited above. Will this recent ugliness mark each new arrival, or can we have a rational conversation about what our moral obligations and humanitarian response should be to the global realities ahead?

But things are improving, Sookero said. “We’re actually seeing some flow in the market,” he said. “Things are looking more optimistic.” Leases aren’t counted until the tenants begin occupancy, Sookero said. “Some of that vacancy will be eaten up in the next six to 12 months,” he said. The office space market is ideal for large companies looking to locate to Burnaby, Sookero said, but smaller companies will find a more competitive leasing market.

Burnaby gained 127,000 sq. ft. in available office space after losing eBay’s North American customer service operations to Salt Lake City, Utah, last year, Sookero said, and after Kodak downsized over the past two years, leaving a much smaller staff at its Burnaby operations.

“We’re quite a few years out in terms of occupancy,” he said, adding it’ll probably be two years before Metrotower 3 is ready for occupants. Previous estimates on the 400,000-sq.-ft. development stated it would be completed by summer 2011. The high-calibre project is pre-certified as LEED Platinum, Wylie said, the first to be pre-certified in Canada. He did not say how much space has been filled as of yet but said Best Buy Canada wouldn’t be taking a large amount of the available tenancy space as rumoured, as the company decided to stay in its current location for now. It is currently a tenant’s market in Burnaby’s commercial office real estate industry, according to Josh Sookero, a Burnaby officeleasing specialist with Avison Young, a commercial real estate brokerage. Burnaby is one of two submarkets with high office vacancy rates. Burnaby’s is currently at 13.2 per cent.

Human remains a century old Remains found during house demolition could date to early 1900s Alfie Lau

staff reporter

The Burnaby RCMP released more information Aug. 25 on the human remains found during an Aug. 20 South Burnaby house demolition. “Early indications are the partial remains could date back to the early 1900s,” said Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk in a press release. “Investigators have confirmed the remains were found over 50 years ago in another location and brought to the Burnaby area.” The house was demolished in preparation for redevelopment when the human remains were discovered and the RCMP called to investigate.

Gresiuk added that while the circumstances surrounding this case are unusual, police are not currently treating it as suspicious in nature. The police are currently working with the coroner and anthropology experts to determine the age and origin of the remains, and if possible a cause of death. The investigation continues.

The vehicle was northbound on Edmonds Street in the left-hand turn lane when the boy attempted to cross in heavy traffic, outside of the crosswalk. “Alcohol, drugs and speed were not a fac-

tor in this collision,” said Burnaby RCMP Sgt. Ted De Jager in a press release. “Charges are not being considered against the driver. However, the pedestrian was charged for failing to use a crosswalk.” According to De Jager, the boy was seen by at least one witness running in amongst the cars before he was hit.

The boy was taken to hospital and treated for a broken leg. The RCMP would like to remind pedestrians to always use a crosswalk and ensure the way is clear. “Even if you have the right of way, be certain the driver of an approaching vehicle has seen you, regardless of the time of day,” said De Jager.

Waste: About half of garbage is food waste continued from page 5

Since Burnaby’s food waste collection program was introduced earlier this summer, the city has noticed a decrease in garbage waste as well as a significant increase to the weight of the yard waste toters, according to Lambert Chu, the city’s director of engineering.

Food waste is combined with yard waste in the toters for collection. While the official numbers are not in, Chu estimates the amount of waste collected from the yard waste toters has increased by 10 to 15 per cent compared with last year.

The city is doing an audit in the fall, he said. The food waste collection program for single and duplex homes started in June. All food scraps, including bones, can be placed in the yard waste toters. The waste is picked up on

a weekly basis, along with trash pickups. Food-related waste, such as paper towels and pizza boxes, can be placed in the yard waste containers. The city estimates that about 50 per cent of residential garbage is actually food waste.

Alive: Club celebrates continued from page 1

through a friend just over a year ago, she says. “I like the commitment,” Lundrigan says. “I feel good after the exercise.” The park bench will be unveiled at 10 a.m. on Aug. 30, with parks commissioner Brian Pound and Mayor Derek Corrigan slated to be in attendance. “During walks around the park, it was mentioned several times by members that it would be nice to have a bench,” Lundrigan explains, “to commemorate the longevity of the club.” The Alive Club meets at Swangard Stadium at 9 a.m. on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays for 45 minutes of exercise and a walk through Central Park.

Don’t miss out on Bard

appy August, everyone! After a stint at the editor’s desk followed by my own vacation, I have at last returned to the arts beat – which has been wonderfully looked after by my lovely colleague Janaya Fuller-Evans over the summer. (Thanks, Janaya!) Today I’ll bring you a few new tidbits, and a few old ones that were waiting in my e-mail box for me when I returned from vacation. Among those tidbits was a note from Peter and Elspeth Belton, letting us know that Simon Fraser University has some great connections to the Bard on the Beach Shakespeare festival that’s currently underway at Vanier Park. Owen Belton – an SFU grad – is the composer and sound designer for Henry V, while faculty member Bob Kitsos is the choreographer. Not to mention that Henry himself is played by the well-known Vancouver actor Alessandro Juliani – whose father, the late John Juliani, initiated the theatre program at SFU in the 1960s. So check it out – and don’t forget that the Bard productions continue into September. See the website at www.bardonthebeach. org for the full schedule. Remember, this year features Antony and Cleopatra, Much Ado About Nothing and Falstaff, along with Henry V. You can’t beat it for a summer night out.

Burnaby singers step into the spotlight

Also from my better-late-thannever file is the news of some young local talent that has continued to make headlines. Three young Burnaby singers – Frankie Cena, Tatiana Banden and Stephen Scaccia (see more about Stephen below) – were among the top 10 finalists in the recent Valley Voices 2010 Vocal Contest, in the 13- to 18-year-old category. They fought it out at the Abbotsford Agrifair on the B.C. Day weekend, which should be no surprise to anyone who follows music news in Burnaby – they’ve all made our pages before for their musical endeavours. In the end, the event was won by Justine Davis, with Jessica Lively City Page 13

Burnaby gardens in the spotlight Home Grown exhibition at Museum of Vancouver explores backyard farming The Museum of Vancouver is exploring the region’s passion for backyard farming and local food – and Burnaby is front and centre in a new exhibition. The exhibit Home Grown: Local Sustainable Food includes 39 large-scale photographs by Brian Harris, set across four seasons. The exhibition, which opened on Aug. 26, runs to Jan. 2. It’s being put on in partnership with FarmFolkCity Folk. Among the featured locations is the Burnaby and Region Allotment Gardens – among the earliest community gardens in the city and now the largest in Western Canada with some 372 garden plots. The featured photos in Home Grown look at the local gardens and many other operations around the region – from innercity gardeners to a sustainable hothouse and farming co-ops. “This series of photos is dedicated to those who see the beauty in small-scale sustainable farming,” Harris said in a press release. “Urban agriculture is about how we relate to the physical world and strive to develop a deeper connection to our food.” The exhibit will also include a Communal

Lively City: Burnaby teens keep on singing continued from page 11

Zraly and Shelby Sperling in second and third respectively. Other top-10 finalists were Joe Given, Brook Harris, Lindsay Lloyd and Tiffany Schroeder. Frankie also distinguished himself by being the only male finalist in Rock 101’s recent Hottest Anthem Singer Contest. Kudos to all the singers.

Crooning teen

More news from the Stephen Scaccia files … The Burnaby teen, who donates his time to performing at the Fellburn seniors’ care centre and at events around the community, is becoming a singer in demand. Stephen was recently asked to perform at the revitalized Italian Day on the Drive festivities, opening the ceremonies with O Canada and then offering up a one-hour solo set. After that appearance, he was invited to sing for several Italian dignitaries at the Italian Cultural Centre in June – which then got him invited to perform in the upcoming Michael Cuccione Foundation fundraiser, happening Sept. 25 at the Italian Cultural Centre. The local crooner is also once again taking the stage as the opening act for this year’s TB Vets fundraising gala, happening Oct. 1 at the Italian Cultural Centre in Vancouver. The Sweetpea Swing Band and Dance Addicts Swing Dancers are also on stage for the fundraiser – which also includes wine, appetizers, a silent auction and more. (For those interested, tickets are $50. Call 604-874-5626 or visit www. tbvets.org.) Stephen, meanwhile, will be starting university studies in law after graduating from St. Thomas More Collegiate this past June. Remember his name: Chances are it won’t be long before we’ll all be able to say, “I remember him when …”

Sinatra Idol

Ol’ Blue Eyes himself would surely be proud. Burnaby’s own Rick Valiant was the lone Canadian to be accepted into the fourth annual Sinatra Idol contest this summer in Hoboken, New Jersey – hometown, of course, of Frank Sinatra himself. In an e-mail to the NOW, Rick notes that he’s been honing his Sinatra tribute around town for the past two years and was thrilled to be accepted into

Printmaker’s work at gallery An artist’s interactions with the North Atlantic coast are the focus of a new exhibition at Burnaby Art Gallery. The Intertidal Zone: Prints by Doug Guildford, opens Sept. 14 and runs to Nov. 21 at the gallery. An opening reception and artist talk is set for Saturday, Sept. 25 from 3 to 5 p.m. Guildford spends his time between two studios – one in Toronto, and one on the south shore of Nova Scotia. His art is rooted in drawing and printmaking, and the Intertidal Zone exhibit focuses on etchings and serigraphs created over the last decade. The works explore the intertidal life of the North Atlantic – those areas

of the seashore that are covered at high tide and uncovered at low tide. “How can this space relate to printmaking? One may consider layering and the tides, revealing and erasing,” a press release suggests. Along with the opening reception and talk, the gallery also has a number of public programs planned in connection with the exhibit. On Friday, Sept. 24, from 7 to 9 p.m., there will be a crochet social with Guildford – who has embraced the technique of crochet in his threedimensional art and references crochet in his prints. The social will give all adults, 19 years and up, a chance to learn crochet, work with both traditional and

On Sunday, Oct. 17, another In the BAG family program will feature printmaking. All ages are welcome for the In the BAG programs. Programs run on the half-hour from 1 to 3:30 p.m., and no registration is required. Finally, on Friday, Nov. 19, there will be a Lunch BAG Day tour for everyone aged 16 and up.

’Bellies sweep ’Rocks Tom Berridge sports editor

The New Westminster Salmonbellies are on their way to a third consecutive Mann Cup. The Salmonbellies made short work of the Victoria Shamrocks, dispatching the Western Lacrosse Association regular season runner-up in four straight games in the playoff final series Tuesday. New Westminster made no mistake of its intentions, scoring nine goals in the opening period en route to a 17-8 victory over the ‘Rocks at Bear Mountain Arena. Playoff MVP Jordan Hall counted a first-period hat trick, while first star rookie Alex Gajic led all scorers with five goals and eight total points. Matt Roik took the third game star with a 44-save performance for the ‘Bellies. “We had a great start. We jumped all

The Selects are the first program from Western Canada to be selected in the tournament’s 21-year history. Burnaby Mountain opened with a 10-1 win over the Hot Shots from Maryland but finished divisional play with a 1-3 record, dropping out of title contention on a head-to-head tiebreaker. The B.C. team rallied with a 3-1 record in the consolation round with wins over Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey, despite playing in extreme heat.

Burnaby Laker Cam Sedgwick recently resigned with the National Lacrosse League champion Washington Stealth. Sedgwick, an assistant captain with the Stealth last season and scorer of the game-winning goal over the Toronto Rock in the championship final, will be entering his 10th pro season and seventh with the Stealth franchise. The former Minto Cup MVP in 1998 and twotime Western Lacrosse Association MVP had a career-best 23 goals and 63 points in 2009. Sedgwick recorded 22 goals and 58 points last season, while garnering 11 points in three playoff games in 2010.

The senior Burnaby Mountain Selects finished the recent Champ camp in Baltimore, Maryland with a .500 record. The Burnaby Mountain elite team, including Tyler Buchan and Jamie Spagnuolo of Burnaby and Connor Goodwin from New Westminster, finished with a record of 4-4 at the high school boys’ field lacrosse tournament that drew 69 of the top programs in North America to the invitation-only national championship.

over them,” said Salmonbellies head coach Bob Salt. The quick 9-2 deficit led to Victoria pulling its goaltender for an extra attacker throughout the match in an attempt to play catchup. That created a lot of five-on-six situations for the New Westminster defence that was both frustrating to play against but helpful in preparing for what’s to come at the Mann in Ontario, said Salt. “We’re going East and we had a lot of practice with our zone. Everyone on our D-end can play it now,” he said. “We really played.” Ilija Gajic, with a seven-point night, Jordan McBride and Cliff Smith with fourpoint outings, all scored added two goals apiece to the ‘Bellie win. The Mann Cup will take place on Sept. 10 at the home of the Ontario series winner, either Peterborough or Brampton.

CAREER COACH

Work: Life Sentence or Love Life

This article is by Deb Little, Guest Columnist, Wellness Coach and Career Development Advisor.

People can and do spend years - and even decades - in a career that they do not love because they receive a substantial financial reward that keeps them from pursuing other options. This is a bleak career perspective because money can keep people stuck in a holding pattern. We convince ourselves that maybe we DO like our job since we do not want to lose the money it brings in, and then we get up every day with a sense of dread about having to go to work. While living this type of reality we begin to feel trapped, unhappy and even angry about our situation. There are other symptoms of working only for money such as poor attendance at work, poor attention with work, and even actual physical health symptoms like exhaustion; depression; or physical pain. If this describes your situation I can relate because that used to be my life. Pain, dread and – egad! – fear of something different. At 45 years old and eighteen years into the Transportation industry I thought it was a life sentence with no opportunity for parole. Due to illness I went on a medical disability and while I was off, I participated in the Transitions career exploration program. This program helped me unravel my belief system around the world of work. I gained a clear understanding of what my values and interests were so that I could redefine my choices about work by what I like to do and what was important to me. With this clarity I have managed through uncertain times to rediscover myself and come out the other side. As a career and relationship coach I love my work. It keeps me healthy, creative and energized. For information about the Transitions Program call 604-434-117 7. This government funded (no fee) three-week career exploration program is available to anyone who is unemployed or under employed and eligible to work in Canada.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Tackle those piles of work. It’s nit-picky, detailed work, and all the details are rife with mistakes, camouflaged instructions, missing pieces. But you gotta do it – so march ahead. Important relationships – friends, enemies, lovers, partners, competitors, counsellors – remain unusually favourable. You might give or receive attention. One who is attracted, or attracts, is a “door” to worldly success. (E.g., that sexy person might also bring career luck.) Better if you met some time ago. Start nothing major before Sept. 12. Chase money Sunday/Monday. Be home Friday/Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20: Romance wafts happily on the breeze! An old flame could grow hotter, especially if a co-worker is involved. Beauty, pleasure and a nice winning streak accompany you. A former recreational or creative venture might return. There’s still plenty of work to do, though. One chore, which might involve education, travel, cultural or media work, will take about two more years to complete. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday to Tuesday – tackle things that usually intimidate you, and see how easily you achieve! Money’s lucky Thursday. Be a friend Friday/Saturday. Career intuition is accurate. Gemini May 21-June 20: The weeks ahead accent your domestic situation, kids, security, real estate, gardening, nutrition and “the end of matters.” Usually this is a good time to decide who and what belongs in your life, and who/what should be left behind. But make no big decisions (in any of the areas listed) before Sept. 12. Your romantic prospects remain high, but attraction might compete with a natural physical lethargy – or, romance and co-habitation make a natural “pair.” You’re weary but lucky Sunday/Monday. Your charisma’s obvious midweek. You’re discovering love’s “other benefits.”

Cancer June 21-July 22: Communications, travel, paperwork, details, errands, casual acquaintances and “daily business” are accented now—and all are delayed or prone to mistakes. Check addresses on mail, figures on cheques, etc. Don’t start anything important before Sept. 12, particularly in these zones. (E.g., avoid a new advertising “mail out.”) You might hear long-lost news, receive a “lost letter,” hear from an old friend, etc. Your home remains sweet’n’sour, but ends “inspired.” Optimism, popularity and social joys bless you Sunday to Tuesday! Lie low mid-week. Your energy, charisma return Friday/Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Your money (and career) luck rises, but more from past efforts, contacts, than new ones. Don’t launch any ventures before Sept. 12, especially in money areas. If you absolutely need a job, seek and land it (Sunday to Tuesday are good for this) – but realize that you will want to, will benefit, if you seek a new one within a year. (You’re headed for great career luck June 2011-June 2012, but that’s then.) Mid-week brings happiness, good friends, popularity, flirtations – with a Gemini? But retreat, lie low and contemplate (don’t plan) Friday/ Saturday. The best partner is a friend. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness reach a yearly high – but that effectiveness is confined to ongoing and “returning” projects (and people – a former attraction might be rekindled). Beware starting important new things before Sept. 12. Intellectual, far travel, educational, publishing, religious or cultural affairs flow very well Sunday to Tuesday afternoon. Love is gentle, wide. Your career and relations with higher-ups (including parents, police) are emphasized mid-week.All’s well, but don’t act unpredictably Thursday night. Hopes and friends make a good combo Friday/Saturday!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new before Sept. 12. Secrets, mysteries, financial plums, intimate clinches, subconscious desires surfacing – these fill Sunday through Tuesday. (Best Sunday, Monday morning.) Work in the background all week, especially these three days – a government agency, institution, large corporation or charitable organization could be your ally. Wisdom, a mellow mood, and matters of law, culture, education, thought, love and “meaning” arise mid-week – with misunderstandings Wednesday, sweet understandings Thursday. Don’t push anyone Friday/Saturday. All week, conserve energy. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Wishes can come true this week and next – especially former wishes, events you wanted to occur in the past, then gave up on. (E.g., a sweet or flirtatious friend returning.) (You might be tempted by a clandestine romance August and September.) Remember, start nothing new – projects nor important links – before Sept. 12. Relationships fill Sunday to Tuesday – open, exciting, sometimes challenging relationships. Be diplomatic, eager to join. Sex, secrets, intimate commitments, “big” finances arise mid-week. (All’s well.) Avoid ethical, educational, publishing commitments late week. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Delay major initiatives until Sept. 12. Stick with the old or ongoing – and protect these from mistakes and “no shows,” especially in business and career zones. This is a fairly easy, mellow week. You’ll have to work hard – your performance is being watched. But friends, light flirtations, entertainment and happy hopes lighten every day! Tackle work Sunday to Tuesday – success awaits. Relationships, opportunities and challenges fill Tuesday eve to Thursday. Be open, honest, receptive: love’s “around.” Careful with finances, sex, commitments (no pregnancies!) Friday/Saturday.

August 29 - Sept. 4 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Sweet, mellow thoughts, solutions, dreams, revisions float through your head – but if you actually sit down to write them out, you’ll discover they were “gossamer on the breeze” – insubstantial, impractical, even nonsensical. This gossamer is the “chatter” as your lower mind sorts out the past two years. The true results are substantial and beneficial – and sub-conscious. Do events since 2008 seem grim? No worries: you are coming into your power. Your career efforts need pruning: encourage growth by ending/clipping some involvements. Early week, love, pleasure. Mid: work. Late: caution. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Secrets, mysteries, dreams, subconscious desires (and fears) research, diagnosis, health, investments, debts, large finances, lifestyle choices, commitments, sexual intimacy – these are emphasized, and in all, mistakes run rife. However, these are also mines filled with rich veins running through the past – there might be an old investment, a former intimate partner, an old piece of research that holds deep benefits for you! (Most likely to appear Sunday to Tuesday.) But make NO new investments (etc.) before Sept. 12. Romance calls mid-week. Careful with health, chores Friday/Saturday. Pisces Feb.19-March20:Thepastisalive;thepresent, as if scared, dithers around, circling uncertainties. So deal with the past – former agreements, opportunities, negotiations, relationships. These yield benefits. Every relationship holds something in its hands: money, love, sex, commitment, the future: especially now. The deeper you plunge, the more you will find, most of it gratifying. You could get hooked on someone, August September! Sunday to Tuesday accent travel, communications. Mid-week draws you toward home, foundations. Friday/Saturday bring romantic, pleasure urges: be honest, cautious. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Health care jobs on the rise these new Canadian seniors will be creating a signiﬁcant demand for health care across the board. In addition to the increased need for health care, as older workers retire, the mass retirement will create openings for advancement and entry into jobs previously held by boomers. In short, the swell in the senior population spells out security for workers in the health care industry and opportunity for students seeking a future with good prospects. According to Jobfutures. ca, Canada’s National Career and Education planning tool, a number of occupations in the health care industry have been given the “Good Prospect” stamp of approval. By “Good”, the government

Canada is on the cusp of a major change. The first wave of our country’s aging baby boomers is about to turn 65. With this milestone birthday comes retirement, of course, along with a host of challenges that will dramatically transform the country. Most significantly, mass retirement will have a striking impact upon employment and health care in Canada. As Canadians enter their golden years, they will be turning to the medical community to keep them healthy. In fact, over the next twenty five years, the passage of about 10 million boomers into retirement will present both major challenges and opportunities for our country’s medical system. From dental work to x-rays to in-home support,

of Canada is indicating that new entrants into that particular field have “a relatively easy time finding permanent employment in targeted occupations with relatively high pay or attractive labour market conditions.” Of the forty or so occupations listed as “Good” prospects for 2010, over half are in the health care industry. As the country prepares for the upcoming 25 years of boomer retirement and its accompanying need for increased health care, this number can only be expected to rise-good news for current and potential health care workers. So what are some of the careers that stand to prosper from this mass retirement? We’ll take a look at three of these rising-star careers to learn more about the nature of the work, the education required and what one can expect to earn while contributing to this booming field. DENTAL ASSISTANT Dental assistants can perform a number of duties in support of a dentist. These can include polishing teeth, applying fluoride, preparing patients for dental examinations, preparing dental instruments and

taking x-rays. Dental assistants require training in a college program and, in all provinces but Quebec, licensing is mandatory. Once graduated, Dental assistants can expect to earn about $16.51 per hour. The growth of employment for this field is above average and expected to remain as such due, not only to the aging population, but also to the increase in Canadians with insurance coverage and improvements in dental technology. PHARMACY ASSISTANT Pharmacy assistants assist pharmacists by preparing, packaging and labeling pharmaceutical products. They also verify prescriptions, maintain patient records and monitor inventories of medications and pharmaceutical products. Pharmacy assistants require completion of secondary school and a college program in Pharmacy Assistant or Pharmacy Technician training. Once completed, a Pharmacy Assistant can expect to earn an hourly wage of about $14.51. NURSE (NURSE AIDE) Nurse Aides attend to the needs of patients in hospitals, nursing homes and other health care facilities. They may be involved in answering call signals, serving meals, take patient’s blood pressure, collect fluid specimens, maintain inventory of supplies and perform maintenance tasks such as cleaning and sterilizing equipment. A Nurse Aide usually requires a college program with practical, on-the-job training. Once graduated, a Nurse Aide can expect to earn about $14.77 per hour. The next few years will bring many changes with them. For those Canadians thinking about jobs and what education or training they need for a prosperous future, it’s important to consider the effects of phenomena like the baby boomers. A growing and aging population that requires more health services coupled with new vacancies in these fields present a positive outlook for health care jobs. The three fields highlighted here give an idea of solid directions for students considering a new career in Canada but they are just a selection of the many opportunities that will be opening over the next few years. This period may be the end of work for some but it can be the beginning of a long and happy career for others.

Learn the advantages of returning to school

There are many people who wish time travel was possible. Simply go back to a period of life that you want to redo and have the opportunity to make a change or do it completely different. Those who are stuck in unfulﬁlling jobs due to a lack of proper training or the right schooling may have particularly strong feelings on this subject. However, you don’t need a time machine to rethink your career part and make a change. Simply going back to school can be the answer. Today, Education Statistics reports that more than half of all students enrolled in colleges and universities are “nontraditional students,” or those who are 25 and older. These are senior citizens who weren’t content with retirement and want to learn new skills. They are also men and women who raised children and want to further their careers now that the kids are out of the house. Some non-traditional students are those seeking advanced degrees so they can apply for better positions. Others are studying coursework completely different from what they currently do as an occupation in order to change career ﬁelds. Regardless of the reasons behind going back to school, the investment in education will help you reap rewards in the future. Here are some advantages of returning to school:

1. Feeling fulfilled: Scoring well on tests, answering assignment questions correctly and being part of a classroom setting could provide a feeling of accomplishment. 2. Greater job opportunity: Having an undergraduate or graduate degree gives you a better chance of advancement at work. You may be eligible for management or supervisory positions as well as have the potential to earn more. 3. Happier home life: It’s common knowledge that financial topics are often the cause of disputes in the household. Tight budgets and working paychequeto-paycheque can put stress on even the most healthy relationships. Schooling will help you to eventually earn more and can provide the relief you need with finances. Also, a feeling of accomplishment can carry over in your relationships at home, giving you a reason to be a happier, mom, dad or spouse. 4. Setting an example: Parents who return to school or decide to further their education provide a winning example to their children that perseverance can equal success. Children may be more likely to want to follow in their parents’ footsteps and value the importance of a good education.
