Fanshawe College Alumni News Fall 2005

Marking sports fields made simple

Brent Baker: Simplistic Lines When Brent Baker (Farm Equipment Technician 92) was growing up on his family’s farm, he liked to tinker with anything mechanical. Not surprisingly, his first job in high school was with a farm equipment dealership.

After earning his diploma from Fanshawe, he continued working with D&S Downham Equipment in Stratford, Ontario as a Farm Technician.

The job involved providing on-site service and he enjoyed dealing with hydraulics, electronics, new products and especially customizing equipment to meet the needs of the customer. In the mid-1990s, he became interested in developing a product himself – building a better mousetrap so to speak.

“At the time, a neighbour was involved with a soccer club and they were looking for a better way to make the lines on the field,” explains Brent. “When I started to explore the idea, it was clear to me that municipalities and sports clubs weren’t really happy with what was on the market.”

Brent felt he could improve on the existing technology so he began tinkering with various ideas in his spare time and getting his own business started. It took a lot of field-testing but he ultimately developed a professional user-friendly field marker with low operation and maintenance costs. Three years later, he had the confidence, product line and customer base to launch out on his own, leaving D&S after 13 years.

Brent’s system uses a unique plumbing feature that reduces the amount of paint needed while also making clean-up easier. It has a battery-operated pumping system with quick connect/disconnect charging terminals and it travels on a tandem suspension. These innovations allow the machine to make smooth, straight lines on any terrain, with minimal operating effort.

Brent also saw an opportunity to improve on the way paint is handled by municipalities and sports clubs. “It was hit and miss for employees to have to mix and dilute paint every time,” explains Brent. “It was messy and then you had tons of five gallon plastic paint cans piling up, making more waste.”

Brent worked with a paint manufacturer to develop Fanshawe College Alumni News Fall 2005

pre-mixed paint in larger sized 1,000 litre totes. He also developed a stand so the paint could be dispensed with a spigot to fill the lining machine. Today, the paint side of his business accounts for well over half of his annual profit and involves more than 200,000 litres of paint each year.

Today, Simplistic Lines Inc. is still family owned and located between Stratford and Mitchell in Ontario. Brent credits his father, Elton, and his neighbour for helping him get started. His dad continues to be active with the company. The customer base is made up of municipalities and universities located in the Greater Toronto Area and south-western Ontario and sales have doubled in the past year.

A

feature alumni fashion forward career at Le Château

The trip from Masonville Mall to Montreal has been an interesting ride for Cara Vogl (Fashion Merchandising 92) and while there’ve been a few bumps along the way she’s pretty well pleased with how it’s turned out so far.

As Director of Public Relations and Advertising for Le Château, Cara works from the company’s head offices in Montreal. Le Château started with one store in Montreal in 1959 and has since grown into a sophisticated retail empire with 184 locations across Canada and five in the United States. The company has more than 2,800 employees.

“I started working part-time at

Le Château when I was 18 at the Masonville store in London,” recalls Cara, who attended Sir Frederick Banting high school in London before applying to Fanshawe. “I wasn’t sure where college would take me but I was interested to see what more there was to the fashion industry, how product gets to the store and the machine that operates behind it all.”

4

The Fashion Merchandising program at Fanshawe fulfilled that interest and gave her the skills and knowledge to land a full-time job. She started out with the GAP in Toronto where she was Assistant Store Manager. She returned to the Le Château fold in May 1993 when she accepted an Assistant Manager’s role in Toronto; six months later she became a Store Manager.

Her natural talent, energy and professional attitude soon brought her to the attention of the Operations Department at Le Château. They were looking for someone to fill a newlydeveloped junior position in store support.

“The job they offered me wasn’t very well defined but I knew I needed to take the chance,” says Cara, who picked up stakes and moved to Montreal to take on the challenge in February 1994.

“Working behind the scenes was something I’d always been interested in doing. There were many different culture shocks to deal with once I was there, both personally and professionally. So I just put my head down and worked. Luckily it turned out to be a position that involved a lot of travel, store visits, special projects… a little bit of everything.”

After three years in that role, she became Assistant to the V-P of Sales.

Then she spent a year as Assistant

to the President before taking on the position of Assistant Buyer in the Accessories Division when a senior buyer suddenly left.

That whole whirlwind of opportunity and challenge prepared her well for the next step. In 2000, she was promoted to Marketing Manager overseeing a team of six people responsible for planning and executing corporate marketing strategies, advertising, publicity, special events, graphics and media relations.

“So much has changed in the company even since those days,” says Cara. “Five years ago we had one fashion designer; now we have more than 20. Today our in-house buying and design team delivers fresh fashion looks in a four-to-six-week cycle which is considered extremely fast in the retail industry. Vertical integration gives us an edge and flexibility that other retailers just don’t have.”

With all of this rapid growth, the demands on the marketing department grew as well. To better manage the image of the increasingly successful company, Cara took on another newly defined position in 2002, that of Director of Public Relations and Advertising. This made her an integral driver of the company’s overall brand shift strategy which had started moving the company towards more unique designs, appealing to a broader customer base, while improving both product quality and store environment. Today, she oversees an annual marketing budget of several million dollars and manages the media placements, public relations, events

Fanshawe College Alumni News Fall 2005

and web site content, while still maintaining a role in store support.

As for Cara, she says the best parts of her job are the travel and the constant variety of tasks. “I’m away for at least a few days, if not a week, every month but I love it. I rarely get tired of it,” she says. “Plus with this position, it’s never ever the same thing twice. One day I’ll be doing a live TV appearance, and the next I might be hanging out with worldfamous models at our photo shoot or figuring out where we should place our advertising dollars for the coming season.

Everyday is totally different, totally busy. It’s kind of crazy.”

Cara also enjoys returning to Fanshawe a few times each year to meet current students in the Fashion Merchandising and Fashion Design programs. “I feel it’s important to share what I’ve learned with the next crop of up-and-coming fashion professionals. I like going back and seeing where I started and how far I’ve come, and showing students that they can succeed, too. I try to get them excited but also to give them a realistic view of what it’s like out there. I don’t sugar-coat it, and the students always seem to appreciate that.”

For the past two years, her company has sponsored the Le Château Most Outstanding Student Award, presented to a merchandising student for excellence in all subject areas. In 2005, the same award was offered to a student in the Fashion Design program and Cara acted as one of the judges for the Fashion Design students’ final collection presentations.

While this all sounds glamorous, Cara says the job is not all glitter and fun. “I’m not a big fan of the paperwork, number crunching, and desk work but it’s part of the job,” she explains. “The phone rings constantly and I get a million emails a day! We do a lot of store support, on the phone, answering questions, solving problems. It takes time but it’s so important. The stores are really counting on us, and ultimately they’re the reason I even have a job. So I’m at my desk probably about three-quarters of my time.”

The other reality about retail is that it’s fickle. “It only takes one bad season to put your company in jeopardy,” says Cara.

“Things have been tenuous at times over the last 47 years, but we’re fortunate now to be in a very strong position.

We have a great business plan. Le Château is flexible and resilient and we’ve enjoyed record sales and profits for the past five years. Our annual sales have grown from $150 million then to just over $240 million, and they’re still growing. Back in 1994 we had around 150 stores; we now have close to 190.”

Cara herself has proven to be flexible and resilient. She admits she was somewhat insecure when she first moved to Montreal, taking every little thing personally. Today, she exudes confidence and energy, a perfect combination in her role as spokesperson and role model. “You definitely develop a tough skin very quickly. I honestly credit the company with Fanshawe College Alumni News Fall 2005

making me the strong person I am today. But yes….I still take some things personally once in a while! And Montreal is just such an amazing city to live and work in. Once I got over the initial shock of all the huge changes in my life, I really grew to love it here.”

What keeps her sane is leaving stress at the office. “I leave work at work and that gives me time to recharge,” she says.

“Quality of life outside the office is so essential to good performance and happiness inside the office.” Away from work, her outlets are many and varied: restaurants, outdoor activities, sports, martial arts, swimming and a love of motor bikes. Plus, she just bought her first house and still gets back to London to visit her parents as often as she can.

As for the future, she’s not too worried about it. “I don’t know what’s around the corner but I’ve learned not to sweat it,” says Cara. “There’s so much opportunity and so much more to learn – I’m fortunate just to have come as far as I have and to have a good life balance. What more could I ask for?”

The photos for this story were taken at the Le Château store in White Oaks Mall in London. Above two Le Château style specialists are doing a business walk-through before the store opening to evaluate how the store looks and what changes might be needed for the day. They are both Fanshawe grads: Mateja Pejcinovic (Business Marketing Administration 03) at far left and Karen McIntosh (Fashion Merchandising 03).

This location represents the company’s newest store concept. Interior colours have changed from the traditional Le Château red to warmer, neutral shades of brown that are popular and pleasing to a broader age range. The space is also much brighter with lots of white, metal, and glass which makes the clothing more visible. The back lit wall opens up the store and allows the merchandise to really stand out.

Community Partnerships

Advanced Care Paramedics

in our community

Advanced Care Paramedics (ACPs) are trained to deliver an expanded set of controlled medical acts to patients suffering from serious medical and traumatic emergencies. A growing number of currently practicing paramedics are adding this designation to their skill base and Fanshawe is helping them reach that goal.

Dwayne Cottel (Advanced Care Paramedic 05) successfully combined work and studies in order to earn his ACP certificate. During the first and second semesters, he traveled from his home in Dutton, Ontario to the London campus each Monday for a full day of classes then studied at home to prepare for exams in each module.

After the theory portion was done, he completed a 6-week full-time clinical placement in hospital followed by a 10week preceptorship in the field.

“The delivery of the Fanshawe program really worked for me because I just had to be in London on Mondays,” explains Dwayne. “It was a pretty hectic 12 months but I was able to continue working full-time in Rodney and parttime for Chatham-Kent while studying to earn my ACP.” He joined the Lambton County EMS full-time this fall and wrote his ACP provincial ministry exams in October.

Imagine you are out with your friends one summer afternoon, enjoying the sunshine while walking up the 18th fairway. Suddenly, one of your foursome grabs his chest and says he does not feel well. Moments later he collapses and does not respond when you call his name.

You call 911 and initiate CPR. Within minutes an ambulance arrives and you are surprised to see how quickly the paramedics intubate (pass a breathing tube down his throat) and begin breathing for him. They start CPR, defibrillate him, start an intravenous infusion, and administer life saving medications. They are able to detect a pulse but it is too slow. The Paramedics then establish a temporary pacemaker to treat this problem and initiate transport to hospital. On their way there, they conduct and interpret a 12 lead ECG. Fortunately, thanks in no small part to the action of the Advanced Care Paramedics, your friend survives.

These life saving measures were once only performed in hospital emergency

rooms but are now being performed in our community by Advanced Care Paramedics (ACPs). A critical shortage of ACPs prompted Fanshawe to initiate its first ACP program in the fall of 2004.

For admission to this program, students must have either a Paramedic Ontario College Diploma or an Ambulance and Emergency Care Certificate. They must also hold an Advanced Emergency Medical Care Assistant Certificate (EMCA) and have had 4,000 hours of work experience within the last three years as a Primary Care Paramedic.

Students learn in the classroom and laboratory, as well as in clinical hospital and field placements. By working in a hospital, students develop their skills and knowledge in acute care areas such as adult emergency, intensive care, obstetrics, operating room and pediatric emergency. Due to the invasive nature of the skill sets being learned, class sizes are limited and student-faculty ratios are small.

Students study at the London campus and earn a graduate certificate.

Applications are accepted by April 1 for the September intake.

evisiting the Millennium Project

In 1998, the provincial Learning Opportunities Task Force funded a total of 10 institutions across Ontario to deliver and test services to help students with learning disabilities.

The goal was to level the playing field between these students and the general student population. The initiative funded at Fanshawe was called the Millennium Project and about 300 students accessed services during the pilot period from 1998 to 2002.

Based on the encouraging learning results from all the participant institutions, the province designated ongoing annual funding, under a new Enhanced Services Fund (ESF). This is made available to all colleges and universities to offer services that were tested and proved to be most valuable

to students with learning disabilities.

For example, the teaching of learning strategies and the use of adaptive technologies were deemed to worthy of investment across the post-secondary system.

Currently researchers at Carleton University are working on a 10-year longitudinal study seeking to measure the long-term benefits of the assistance students received during the pilot period. In particular, they are seeking to find out if the help to students was really only of benefit while they were studying or did students learn transferable skills and personal resiliency in a way that allowed them to take control of their own lives?

While only a few years into the study, researchers are optimistic. They admit

that adults with learning disabilities have traditionally not fared well compared to the general population but the results gathered thus far from pilot participants are showing some positive signs. Right now, researchers would like to connect with more past participants and have asked AlumniNews to send out the following request.

If you were part of the Millennium Project at Fanshawe College from 1998 to 2002, you are invited to join an ongoing follow-up survey called Transitions. There are already 23 Fanshawe students who have given their input but another 277 are eligible to do so. To register as a participant, please go to http://transitionsportal.ca.

tips from the inside Enjoying the best of Bermuda By: David Fries David Fries (Business Marketing 82) is Sales Manager with Office Solutions, an office equipment company in Bermuda. Originally from London, Ontario, David attended Oakridge Secondary School. His wife, Gaynor, is from England and they have two children: Jack (2) and Marin (7 months). They often visit family in London, Ontario but for now, they are quite happy settled in Bermuda. Here are some of David’s observations about life in the sun.

Living in the lovely islands of Bermuda for the last eight years has been really great. I still have wonderful memories of London and Fanshawe, especially our glorious basketball days, but Bermuda is home for now.

After working in Vancouver for seven years and spending a year in Whistler, I guess I really started my career in 1989 in Toronto, working for a company in the office equipment business. While doing that, I was approached by a headhunter looking for people in my industry who were interested in working in Bermuda. I began a longdistance interview process, “sold” myself to the prospective new boss and was selected.

My current title is Sales Manager and my job with Office Solutions involves managing a small sales team, seeing to their needs and helping them to maximize sales. I also manage a group of customer accounts and try to introduce new technologies that will help increase their workflow and improve efficiency while at the same time helping their bottom line.

Working as an ex-patriot in Bermuda requires the granting of a work permit and plenty of paperwork and, in my case, about three months waiting time.

Fanshawe College Alumni News Fall 2005

Once on the island, it can take some time to settle into the work pattern and lifestyle. Bermuda is a British Dependant Territory and it is only 22 square miles.

It has many beautiful beaches, turquoise waters and spectacular natural scenery. Tourism is a large part of its economy, but this has been rapidly taken over in the past decade by international business. In our industry, we love to see new businesses coming in because that means more potential customers for us.

The first change I had to become accustomed to was driving on the left side of the road. In addition, the most popular form of transport is motorized scooters, so that was another adjustment. Cars are limited on the island – one per household. If your landlord already has a car, you may be out of luck.

What you might not know is that in addition to shirts and ties, businessmen in Bermuda do wear Bermuda shorts and knee socks – which we are all grateful for during very humid summers. The weather is a welcome change from Ontario with an average daily temperature of about 85 degrees in the summer, however, the humidity can also be around 90%. The winter months are still relatively warm but with more rain.

One of the best things about working in Bermuda is that there is no income tax and the Bermudian dollar is pegged to the US dollar. This

Once a basketball player, always a basketball player. David Fries will never forget the 1980-81 season when the Fanshawe Falcons went all the way and became National Basketball Champions.

Here he is back at Fanshawe with his teammates celebrating the 25th anniversary of that great year. For more details on the reunion, see page 14.

is a major advantage compared to earning Canadian dollars and the Canadian tax system. Another part of Bermuda life I enjoy is, because it is a small island, I often run into clients walking down the streets. There are a limited number of restaurants and bars so the community is much smaller but much more friendlier than in a large metropolitan city. The downside of this is that everybody knows everybody and you have to watch your behaviour!

One of the major frustrations is the slower pace of life.

Trying to purchase a newspaper, for example, you may have to wait while the cashier finishes her telephone conversation with her boyfriend. And heaven forbid if you forget to say good morning. I’ve learned not to get upset if the guy at the garage doesn’t

Fanshawe College Alumni News Fall 2005

get around to looking at my car even if I’ve had the appointment booked for a week. He says he’ll try to do it tomorrow, although that’s a Thursday so he may have a funeral to go to.

All in all though, Bermuda is a wonderful place to spend a few years.

I would definitely recommend it.

Although the winter months can be a little boring, the summer months make up for it. There aren’t many places that you can finish up work and still have a couple of hours on the beach before heading home.

CONSTRUCTION LEADERS

PCL Constructors Canada makes $50,000 pledge The PCL Constructors Canada Inc. family of companies marks its 100th year in 2006 and it continues its loyal support of Fanshawe through a leadership gift of $50,000 to the Fanshawe College Campaign.

“Dozens of Fanshawe graduates work for PCL and most have come to us through the co-op work program,” explains Brad Nelson (Civil Engineering Technology 76), who is President, Central and Eastern Region in Canada for PCL. “We believe strongly in Fanshawe’s ability to prepare these students for the real world. They come to us from the Building Technology division with the right skills and the right attitude.”

That’s why PCL deems it so important to support postsecondary education. Brad says he hopes that this gift will inspire other alumni and companies that hire Fanshawe graduates to also step up to the plate and support the priority needs of the College.

PCL is the largest contracting organization in Canada and one of the largest in the United States, with 25 office locations across North America and the Caribbean.

The PCL Constructors Canada Inc. arm of the company is responsible for most construction activities in Central and Eastern Canada, providing full design-build, general contracting and construction management services.

Alumni Association pledges $250,000 During this year’s Homecoming celebrations, the Alumni Association Board of Directors, on behalf of the association’s 90,000 members, announced a pledge toward the Fanshawe College Campaign.

The college’s campaign, which was officially launched this fall, is seeking to raise $15 million and already has received $10.5 million in contributions from corporate donors and individuals.

“As alumni, we know first-hand the value that our Fanshawe education has added to our lives and as business people, we see everyday the college’s tremendous impact on our community,” says David Wyatt, past president of the Alumni Association. “The Alumni board supports this pledge and I invite all alumni to join in building the future and honouring the past by making a contribution to the campaign so the next generation of students will be assured of the same opportunities we had.”

The $250,000 pledged by the Alumni Association will be raised over the next ten years through gifts from alumni, friends and corporate partners. Already, $75,000 of this pledge is in hand. In acknowledgement of the association’s support of the college, the lecture theatre D1060 will be renamed the Alumni Lecture Theatre.

The 3rd annual motor sports show attracted racing fans both young and old. The event was co-ordinated by volunteers from Fanshawe’s Motive Power division.

Grads from 1980 were invited to the annual 25th anniversary reunion on Saturday afternoon at Saffron’s Restaurant on campus. The excellent food service was provided by students in the Culinary and the Food and Beverage Management programs.

Homecoming 2005 kicked off with a pub on Thursday night for both students and alumni. Sponsored by the Alumni Association, the Student Union and the Interior Design program, the theme this year was Return to the ‘80s. The movie night feature on Friday was War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. Lucky winners at both events took home prizes donated by Middlesex Appliance, All Maple Clothing, John Labatt Centre, and Kelsey’s Restaurants.

Homecoming 2006 welcomed alumni back to Fanshawe to enjoy many different activities and reunions. Always a favourite, the Fanshawe Falcons volleyball and soccer games were held on Saturday. Also on Saturday, Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented to six Fanshawe alumni in recognition of for their significant career success and contribution to their community (see pages 22 – 25 for photos and profiles of our winners).

The Alumni Showcase was a new addition this year and was held on Saturday morning. This was a free networking opportunity for alumni entrepreneurs, facilitated by Sandy Ross of the Homepreneur Network with network etiquette, creative ideas, and exhibit space. It was a terrific event that has attendees asking for MORE. Watch for it again in 2006 in case you didn’t make it out this year.

Awards & Achievements President’s Distinguished Achievement Awards Each year, Howard Rundle, President of Fanshawe College, announces the winners of his Distinguished Achievement Awards. Nominations are put forward by co-workers at Fanshawe and the awards program honours candidates for their outstanding leadership and achievement within their roles at Fanshawe College.

D istinguished Teacher Award: Lorraine Purgret

Lorraine Purgret (Early Childhood Education 86 / InfantToddler Certificate 88) is a highly respected and admired professor at Fanshawe’s James N. Allan Campus in Simcoe, Ontario. Her peers and students put forward an amazing nomination document which clearly outlined Lorraine’s remarkable rapport with students and how hard she works every day to meet the individual needs of each student and help each one reach his or her full potential.

Lorraine taught within the Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Developmental Services Worker (DSW) programs for 11 years before taking on the role of coordinator of the DSW program in 2003. She continues to teach first and second year courses in ECE and DSW using creative and innovative techniques to implement the course material. Her exemplary teaching skills, her empathy for others and her delightful sense of humour

make her successful in all her endeavours at Fanshawe both within the classroom and in her role as liaison with community agencies.

Along with heartfelt letters from a number of past students, nominator Sandy Reeves and Campus Chair Donna Gates enthusiastically added their own comments to endorse this nomination. As Donna noted, “Lorraine is involved in virtually every committee on campus and spends countless hours striving to improve the quality of education at Fanshawe College. She is a quiet leader who sets an example for all.”

D istinguished Staff Award:

Val Currie

The 2005 Distinguished Staff Award went to Val Currie who is a technologist and coordinator with the Academic Upgrading program at Fanshawe’s Oxford County Campus in Woodstock, Ontario. Her nominator, Professor Cliona Geraghty put forward a number of excellent reasons for Val to be honoured including the fact that Val has an “unquenchable drive for student success.”

Adult learners who are struggling with literacy and numeracy have many diverse needs and one of Val’s key roles is to develop individualized training plans for each participant. Campus Chair Sheri Knott says that Val has consistently exceeded targets for the Academic

16

Upgrading program since she took on the challenge in 1999.

In addition to her regular duties, Val also worked tirelessly with several community partners to develop and implement two innovative family literacy programs in Woodstock. She also championed Start Smart, a career exploration program for children aged 11 to 13 and their parents.

Awards & Achievements D istinguished Team Award:

Facilities Planning and Development

Whenever you see a building or facility that belongs to Fanshawe College, at one of our campuses or in the community, you’ll see the handiwork of the Facilities Planning and Development team. Last year alone, this team completed approximately $13 million dollars in capital and renovation projects and they routinely balance as many as 200 projects at any one time. Some projects are high profile and visible, as you can see driving by the campuses, but there’s also a lot of behind the scenes work that goes into building, maintaining and renovating Fanshawe to keep the learning and working environments in top condition.

The winning team members above are: back row, left to right: Nathan Gerber (Architectural Technology 97); Shannon Mulcahy and Jeff Mosher. Both Shannon and Jeff are co-op students from Architectural Technology. Middle row, left to right: Kristine Rheault (Architectural Technology 02); Karen Hale; Denise Luksys (Architectural Technology 98); Ken Pirhonen and Doug Calder (HVAC and Refrigeration Technology 86). Front row, left to right: Tom Ward (Architectural Technology 93); Donna McInnis; Shawn Harrington, department manager (Architectural Technology 90); Connie Dawe (Interior Design 87) and Harry Cavender. Co-op student Ulises Losson, an international student from Mexico who was studying construction, was also a member of the winning team.

The Honorable Bob Rae receives Honorary Applied Degree Betty Holme, Alumni Association Vice President, was pleased to welcome former Ontario premier The Honorable Bob Rae as a member of the Association. At the November 2005 convocation ceremony, Rae was presented with a Fanshawe College Honorary Applied Degree in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the future of post-secondary education in Ontario. Earlier this year, the Ontario government published a sweeping review of Ontario’s post-secondary education system produced

by Rae. From 1990 to 1995 Rae served as the 21st premier of Ontario.

career success

L ife as an HR professional Danielle Landry (Business - Human Resources Management 03) is a person who knows what she wants and knows how to go after it. In 2001, she found herself between jobs. She had some experience working in payroll through a series of short-term jobs but believed that she could establish a long-term career in Human Resources (HR) if she only had the right training.

Fanshawe College in Woodstock, Ontario offered what Danielle wanted but she couldn’t really afford to go back to school. Then she heard that funding might be available from HRSDC (Human Resources Skills Development Canada). She put together a binder of research to convince the HRSDC that payroll and HR jobs were in high demand, making a compelling case as to why it made good economic sense to fund her training. She was successful and enrolled at Fanshawe in 2001, traveling to campus each day from her home in Brantford, Ontario.

In 2003, she earned her Human Resources Management diploma from the Oxford Campus. Her mentorship placement was with Levi Strauss in Brantford and Stoney Creek, Ontario.

“That was a fabulous opportunity because I got hands-on experience within a full service HR department,” explains Danielle. “I worked there every Friday from September to December 2002. I gained experience on the HAY system, plus I got to do interviews and evaluate positions.”

Her first job was with the Toronto

18

International Film Festival as Human Resources and Training Coordinator. In that role, she designed and delivered resume workshops and was involved in recruitment, training, orientation, compensation and benefits administration. The organization had 75 full-time and 500 contract employees and she did all payroll functions.

The two years at the Film Festival added to her skill base and to make sure she kept her career moving forward, she worked hard to earn the

Danielle Landry received the Ross A. Hennigar Memorial Award from HRPAO.

first three levels of certification from her professional group, The Canadian Payroll Association (CPA). She also wrote and earned her Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation in October 2004.

In April 2005, Danielle accepted a new job with The Canadian Payroll Association as a Senior Coordinator, Certification. The CPA had just

redeveloped its certification process to better meet the needs of payroll professionals and the employers. The three previous levels were redefined into two new certifications: Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) and Certified Payroll Manager (CPM).

“It has been an exciting time for the CPA and a challenge for me because this role is still new within the organization,” explains Danielle. “But really, it’s a dream job. I’m involved in promoting the new designations and I’ve been working closely with a consultant to develop and implement the online components of the courses. I’m already traveling quite a bit delivering professional development seminars across the country. I’ve always had an interest in adult education and now I have a job that lets me do that too.”

In February 2005, Danielle earned the Ross A. Hennigar Memorial Award from the Human Resources Professional Association of Ontario (HRPAO). The criteria for this award cover all aspects of a successful HR career: continuing education, volunteer work and potential for career growth.

In less than five years, Danielle’s determination and hard work have not only landed her a dream job but she’s already received high praise from her peers and her association that she’s on the right track. We can only imagine where she’ll go from here!

Child & Youth Worker 1975

Co-ordinator, Child and Youth Worker Program, Confederation College Six Fanshawe alumni were honoured during Homecoming weekend by family, friends, faculty and administrators at the 2005 Distinguished Alumni Award celebration on October 22. The winners were chosen from a stellar group of nominees and we thank all nominators for putting forward their submissions.

We are pleased to share with you inspirational stories of our Distinguished Alumni for 2005.

22

Sheila Arges has been instrumental in the success of college graduates for more than 25 years having taught and mentored a generation of child and youth workers in northern Ontario. As coordinator and professor in the Child and Youth Worker program at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, she has been the primary driving force behind the success of the program from its inception in 1979.

When Sheila was hired in 1979, she became not only the sole champion of the Child and Youth Worker program at Confederation but also an instructor and the first coordinator - the youngest in the province at that time. The early years of the program were challenging as the role of a child and youth worker was an unfamiliar one in northern Ontario.

Sheila was instrumental in expanding

the program which has become an integral part of the network of community services for children and youth in the region.

Over the years, Sheila has been a member and supporter of numerous community-oriented organizations including William W. Creighton Youth Services, for young offenders; Children’s Aid Society; Lakehead Regional Family Care; and Communities Together for Children.

Sheila, with her considerable knowledge and experience, has also contributed to two textbooks on social work practices in the north.

In April 1997, Sheila was honoured with a Confederation College Employee Recognition Award. She also earned a Teacher Excellence Award from Confederation in 1995, a nomination that was initiated by a student who knew first-hand the passion and excellence that Sheila brings to her work. Devoted to ensuring that her students receive the best education possible, Sheila’s greatest reward has been seeing the Child and Youth Worker graduates reach their own career milestones.

Suddenly, in 1989, Janet became critically ill and required a lifesaving organ transplant. She received a liver transplant in 1990 and a renewed passion for living that permeates everything she does. Janet and her husband have enjoyed watching their children, who were 5 and 7 at the time, grow into young adults, go to university, and now attend Fanshawe College.

Paramedic 2002

Primary Care Paramedic, Thames EMS

As a recent graduate, Melissa Schyff has not only established a solid career, she has also reached beyond Canada’s borders to share her expertise in a country that has little or no trained emergency medical personnel.

Not one to shy away from a challenge, Melissa took a leave of absence in 2004 from her full-time job as a Primary Care Paramedic with Thames EMS in London, to volunteer with Fanshawe’s Emergency Medical Technician program in Beirut, Lebanon. The college required a dedicated professional as part of a team, who could adapt to the unique cultural environment in Lebanon and work with the graduate EMTs to help them define their roles in the community.

For three months, Melissa worked helping to start up an Emergency Medical Technician program at

24

Makassed Hospital in Beirut and held CPR and Basic First Aid courses for hospital staff. Melissa’s success with the program earned her accolades from her colleagues in Lebanon.

Since returning to Canada, Melissa continues to demonstrate leadership and maturity beyond her years. She is a valued member of the Thames EMS Critical Incident Stress Management team and uses her skills to help coworkers by facilitating debriefing sessions after particularly tragic or acutely stressful emergency calls.

In addition to working with Thames EMS, Melissa is a part-time lab instructor at Fanshawe within the Paramedic program. She is an active contributor to program development and her passion for her work makes her a positive, dynamic role model for all students.

Throughout her college days and since graduation, Melissa has volunteered as a paramedic at annual sporting events and she promotes her profession in the community as often as she can. In 2002, Melissa was honoured with the Fanshawe College Mary Ann Darling Memorial Award, as the student who best demonstrated a caring attitude towards people through on-campus volunteer work and community service.

He has served as Environmental Representative for the past five years and as Chairperson on the CAW Local 27 Environmental Committee since 2003.

Over the years at GM, Todd’s innovative ideas through the Ideas for Excellence Suggestion Program have resulted in improved work flow, enhanced safety, and practical ways to achieve more environmentallyfriendly work practices.

Todd’s work with the CAW as Environmental Representative and Environmental Committee Chairperson have provided tremendous opportunities to

promote recycling, protection of the environment, and public education among co-workers. In spring 2005, Todd was named Vice President of the CAW London Region Environmental Council, which focuses on many community environmental issues. A current initiative includes lobbying for provincial government legislation to extend manufacturers’ responsibilities to the final disposal of their products. Through the CAW, Todd also visits local public schools each spring to teach children about Earth Day. An active outdoorsman, Todd established the Natural Outdoor Activity Heritage Conservation Club (NOAH C.C.) in 1995 and continues to serve as its president. In 2000, he initiated the first Thames River Clean Up. What began as a small project has become a highly successful annual event expanding in scope and focus each year. In 2003, Adopt a River was added to the Thames River Clean Up project and in 2005, 1,800 volunteers turned out for the day-long clean up of 212 km of the river.

Todd has earned the respect of his work place and his community through his involvement in environmental protection programs.

He shares his vision whenever he can encouraging responsible stewardship of the environment.
