Spring 2008 • Fanshawe College Alumni News 3

Barbara Czyz is delighted to be moving her business, Unique Food Attitudes, in May 2008 after 12 years of operating from a small rented catering kitchen. The new home at 466 Hamilton Road is a perfect base for catering but also has room for a storefront restaurant and bar.

This move will be hectic but not nearly as stressful and uncertain as the move she made in 1989 when she and her husband Jaroslaw Czyz (last name pronounced Chish) immigrated to London, Ontario from Poland. They left their family, friends and homeland to start a new life.

The English for Newcomers program at Fanshawe worked out well for them and they took various jobs in order to get established. Then Barbara heard about a new two-year Culinary Management program at Fanshawe and started full-time studies in September 1994.

“The first class was quite overwhelming with the English,” she recalls. “But I just loved it. The chefs were fabulous and I even liked the tests. We also learned about business and finance in Canada which were really important lessons.”

Upon graduation, she started a catering business with a few friends but one partner left after six months and the second one after two years, leaving Barbara as the sole owner.

However her business continued to thrive not only because of the delicious food, the stellar service and her spectacular European-style wedding cakes, but also by building positive and ongoing relationships with many large companies in London for business catering. Fanshawe College was and still is a special client and she is very thankful for the confidence the various departments have placed in her over the years.

Unique Food Attitudes had an excellent year in 2007 when Barbara signed exclusive catering contracts

with Delta EMCO and Trojan Technologies, where she would also run their employee cafeterias.

“Now with the current move, I can also start a café of my own, which I’ve always wanted,” says Barbara. “I wouldn’t have all this without the training and opportunity Fanshawe College provided, and I am also grateful for the welcoming London community which has supported my business so much over the years.”

Unique catering business lands a new homeCombining her love for life, her love for food and a really big, bright personality,

Barbara Czyz has made a unique name for herself in the competitive catering

business in London, Ontario.

It’s a world most of us don’t know much about and hope we never have to face: being caught up in a natural disaster, chemical spill, pandemic or terrorist attack. But being prepared to face anything is all in a day’s work for Catherine Blair, Emergency Management Coordinator for the City of Mississauga.

From a shy girl growing up in London, Ontario to being on the front lines of the emergency management field, Catherine Blair (Science Lab Technician 86) has come a long way from her Fanshawe College days. She has a warm smile, a quick wit, and has been known to wear a bright pink jumpsuit but don’t let any of this lightness fool you: she’s all business and all about being ready for the next possible disaster.

In fact, Catherine is a Certified Emergency Manager under the International Association of Emergency Managers, a respected credential that not many people in Canada have earned. She is a leader in her field and a highly-respected presenter at international conferences on hazardous materials. Plus she holds down a demanding job in emergency management that keeps her joined at the hip with her Blackberry 24/7.

Suited up for the job

Early on in her career, Catherine adopted the pink jumpsuit out of necessity. It’s one of the creative ways she has found to carve out a professional career and gain respect in what was, and still is, primarily a male-dominated field.

“When I worked directly for a chemical company in hazardous materials technical service and training, I couldn’t find anything to fit off the shelf because the jumpsuits were all made for men,” she explains. “So I had a pink one custom-made by a company in London, Ontario that makes similar flame-resistant suits for racecar drivers.”

The look was dramatic and it raised more than a few eyebrows, but once people heard her speak so knowledgeably, they soon took her seriously. While her current job doesn’t call for coveralls every day, she still wears the jumpsuit sometimes for training exercises and public relations duties. It’s a reminder of her roots and her days dealing with hazardous chemicals, client training, and incidents. It’s a career that she has grown to love.

Fanshawe as the foundation

“Even in high school, I was drawn to science and chemistry. I was inspired by teachers, professors and mentors who taught me so much over the years,” Catherine explains. “At Fanshawe, we learned how to think and to reason, not just to memorize as we had in high school. If our college labs didn’t go right, we had to figure out what went wrong.

“Then with my work, when I would go out to a chemical spill, I had to very quickly assess things, make a decision, and if that wasn’t quite right, I had to assess again and make another decision,” says Catherine. “I am thankful to Fanshawe for teaching us how to think around things, look beyond the obvious, and think about the implications. It was the foundation that I needed to set up my career.”

When emergency strikes


Choosing a hazardous career path

Drawing on her co-op experiences, Catherine worked first as a lab technician and chemist for about nine years, before getting a big break. She was hired as a Technical Specialist and Emergency Response Representative at Stanchem, which later became Brenntag Canada, a chemical distributor in Toronto.

“The job meant less lab work and more solving problems in the field, handling hazardous chemical spills, the emergency response; it was very dynamic,” recalls Catherine. It was a dream job with a great boss and mentor and she stayed there eight years until a serious downturn in the Canadian chemical industry caused her job to come to an abrupt end.

During this time, she had gone on to earn two university degrees in chemistry studying part-time as a mature student, so between her education and her extensive experience, she was well-positioned to take on a new stage in her career.

Taking on the next emergency

In late 2002, she found her next new challenge when she was hired by the Toronto Transit Commission as Emergency Planning Officer. It fit well with her background in hazardous materials management and it allowed her to make

the transition from the private to the public sector.

In addition to managing the TTC’s Corporate Emergency Plan, she prepared and provided information and training programs on emergency procedures. “A big part of that job was ensuring business continuity in the face of newly emerging threats such as pandemic influenza, SARS, and the reality of terrorism,” remembers Catherine.

While she thoroughly enjoyed that role, four years later she reached for an opportunity that was too good to pass up. She made the move to the City of Mississauga into her current role as Emergency Management Coordinator.

Being ready for anything

Catherine now works within one of the most complex coordinating functions you can imagine. Not only is Mississauga home to Canada’s busiest international airport, it also has a well-developed industrial base, shipping docks and marinas, rail corridors, and six major highways. These factors, combined with a population of more than 700,000, contribute to increased potential for emergency situations to occur.

“All municipalities have to be ready to respond to fire, police, ambulance, and public works emergencies on any given day, but when these escalate beyond

The CAER Connection

In 2006, Catherine Blair was recognized by the Toronto West Community Awareness Emergency Response Committee (CAER) for her dedication to the chemical industry and long time service. She served for 10 years as Chair of the West Toronto committee. “I enjoyed my voluntary time with CAER immensely. I got to work with and learn from such talented professionals who included fire, police, ambulance, private industry and private contractors.” The original mandate for CAER came from the Canadian Chemical Producers Association to promote responsibility from cradle to grave of the chemicals they produced, including safe handling, safe transporting, education and monitoring how chemicals affect the environment.

the scope of normal operations, that’s where emergency planning becomes so critical,” says Catherine. “We can’t script an emergency, but it’s my job to make sure the plan is up-to-date and adaptable to any emergency situation.”

Singing from the same songbook

Her work involves leading and coordinating the City’s Emergency Management Program Committee, a group that is mandated by the province’s Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.

“I deal with every city department, including City Council, and since we are a two-tiered municipality with the Region of Peel, I work very closely with them too,” explains Catherine. “We also work cooperatively with the Town of Caledon, the City of Brampton, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, provincial ministries, federal departments, private industry, and other emergency preparedness related agencies.”

This translates to a lot of meetings in order to ensure that emergency personnel and organizations are aware of and agree with their roles and responsibilities within the response framework. She also works with these groups as needed to provide training, exercises, and evaluation related to the City’s Emergency Plan.

A career with a view

No day is like the next and she is on call 24/7. “The emergency management field is constantly growing and changing and with every major incident, we have to revise our focus and our plans,” says Catherine. “For example, the terrorist attacks of 9-11 changed a lot of things, SARS opened up a lot of eyes, and the ice storm made everyone look at priorities yet again. It’s constantly evolving. Despite the pace, it’s a wonderful job and I work with some fantastic people.”

As for the future, Catherine enjoys keeping up with new technology and is constantly updating her skills. “I don’t believe you should become stagnant in a job; once you stop learning and growing, it might be time to move on.” But for now, there is still plenty to learn and accomplish and she looks forward to each day.

But how does one turn-off from such a demanding job? “On the drive home, there is a point where I switch off work-mode,” says Catherine, who lives with her husband of seven years, Rem Gaade, a former fire chief and private consultant. “My Blackberry is always on of course, but I’ve learned how to relax and recharge. We love to travel and we enjoy antique aircraft and just spending time with family and friends – those are the activities that make such a demanding career all the more worthwhile.”



It’s amazing where a person can go within the complex world of industrial design, and Joe Chiodo is an excellent case in point. As a young person, he was naturally inquisitive. He took apart anything that wasn’t nailed down, just to see how it worked.

Today he has discovered, tested and proven a radical way of taking electronic products apart that is good for the environment and good for business. Where does one begin on such an interesting scientific journey?

“Coming out of high school, I found the idea of new product development really intriguing,” remembers Joe. “I always liked taking a situation and analyzing it to see if I could find a solution.”

He got a ton of practical experience solving problems at Fanshawe in the Industrial Design program and he learned the basics about a wide range of materials and applications. When he graduated in 1990, his fascination continued.

He heard about a Master’s Degree in Industrial Design that he could take at Manchester Metropolitan University in England. Both he and a classmate, Lee Fletcher, moved there in 1991 and spent a couple of years completing the Master’s level program.

Joe’s Master’s thesis has since grown into his business and his all-consuming passion: finding a way to mass manufacture electronic products in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way.

“When you shred electronic products to dispose of them, the toxins still leach out into the ecosystem and considering the alarming rate at which these products become obsolete, it has become a massive concern to environmentalists,” says Joe.

While he loved the research he was doing, he was ready to take some time off from it after completing his Masters. At the same time, another university in the UK, Brunel University, was keen to have him continue the cutting-edge research within its Ph.D. program.

When the first Ph.D. scholarship offered was not enticing, Joe took a year off to work in Canada. He gained further industrial experience and contacts, including a stint within military circles. “The most brilliant minds I’ve ever met worked in military research and development as physicists, scientists and specialists. They were pushing the envelope on everything. I soaked it up; it was incredibly fascinating.”

Within a year, Brunel University came back to him with a Ph.D. scholarship worth

triple its original offer and encouraged him to return to England. “Since it also included a research assistant position with a one-year grant, I took it. I was looking at ways to make recycling of electronic devices in a less costly way,” says Joe. “Once there, I wrote a grant proposal and got a two-year grant to continue.”

Both of these were Blue Sky grants provided by the British government. “My goal was to get as close as possible to manufacturing samples of home electronic components, mobile phones and car electronics that would take themselves apart after their useful life. I was seeking a way to do this by bombarding them with external energy that would change the molecular structure. It promised to be a far faster and more cost-effective way of breaking them down than by hand or by using robots.”

Sounds simple enough but no one had done it before. Joe ambitiously pursued his Ph.D. in what was essentially ways to do cheaper recycling, but the whole thing got more complex pretty quickly.

“My Ph.D. in Active Disassembly proposed using smart materials, but in order to figure it all out, I had to learn the inner workings of molecular physics,” explains Joe. “I ended up coming up with a whole new field of material science called smart engineering polymers. This theory was based on smart polymers that I had seen in military applications. But since those were very expensive, my solution was to manipulate the structures of regular polymers to find a less expensive way to get them to break down.”

With proof in his hands and his Ph.D. complete, Dr. Joseph Chiodo founded his own company in 2002, called

Active Disassembly Research Ltd., with offices in both England and Ontario. “Our goal is to develop a mass-produced product that is recyclable and cost-effective for the company which makes the product. I’ve been funding my work through a number of investments, sales opportunities, and through making alliances and agreements with other industrial researchers.”

It’s a development approach that is working quite well. “It is tremendously expensive to set up a single lab that would mirror industry,” explains Joe, “So I have found ways to partner with specific experts around the world to advance small portions of the technology at a time. As each part is tested and proven within that industrial setting, we come closer to the ultimate goal: developing a practical way to mass-produce and mass-recycle electronic products.”

So how close is he to bringing it all together? “I think within a few years we will have a product like this in a closed-loop situation suitable for a mobile phone company for example,” explains Joe. “Here’s how it works. Imagine when you first build the phone, you build in the capacity to recycle the product up to three times or more, planning for three generations of the product right from the beginning.

“Then each time you want to update the phone, the consumers bring them back in, and you break them down using a blast of energy (active disassembly). Then you can reuse the original circuit board. By adding more functions and greater capabilities to the same board, you can deliver a phone back to the consumer with all the latest features at a fraction of the cost of a brand new product.”

The cost-savings potential in the second and third generation production cycles are what make this business model so appealing to manufacturers, plus consumers are increasingly demanding products with less environmental impact. Reusing the circuit board means that the majority of environmental impact is therefore reduced by approximately 80-90% in each new product life.

The catch in 2008 is that the idea is so radical that traditional manufacturers and sales companies are having trouble getting their heads around the concept enough to invest fully in the implementation. But Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Joe is the man to watch and to thank when this technology comes to an electronics store near you. In fact, if you demand new products made this way, they will likely come even sooner!

“ When you shred electronic products to

dispose of them, the toxins still leach out

into the ecosystem. It has become a massive

concern to environmentalists.”


Consumer interest in

certified organic foods is

steadily increasing, but it’s

still a relatively new and

evolving industry. Two

women who are meeting

the challenge head-on

are Fanshawe alumni:

Beatrix Enter (Business

Marketing 86) and

Meriel Cromarty (Farm

Business Management 78),

and the brand they promote,

Hungry Hollow Organics,

already has 20 products on

the shelves.

Organic farming begins at farm level with a desire to produce the best and healthiest food choices and it takes concentrated effort, ongoing research and sheer determination to make it happen. It helps to come from a farm background and both of the women spearheading the Hungry Hollow Organics brand learned their lessons from the ground up.

“I grew up on a dairy farm in Watford, Ontario and I always had a profound interest in farming,” explains Beatrix Enter, chief executive of Hungry Hollow Organics based in Parkhill, Ontario. “I attended Fanshawe to take Business-Marketing because I knew it would help me make an operation more successful and it certainly has. Especially since we began to go organic about 12 years ago, we’ve had to develop new processes and products to enter a whole new marketplace. It’s been an interesting challenge, that’s for sure.”

Her reasons for shifting from traditional agricultural production methods to growing organic foods were personal. “I’d been having quite

serious medical concerns since the early 1990s and needed more answers then

what I received from the medical community,” explains Beatrix. “Switching to eating more natural foods, and receiving help from alternative health practitioners, I began to feel better. Since changing my diet to natural and organic foods, I’ve been medication-free since 2000 and feeling so much better.”

The Enter family decided to transition the farming operation in Parkhill to organic in 1996. It took several years to complete the process and qualify as a Certified Organic Farm under the rigorous OC/PRO Canada certification process.

“As per the program, we are committed to growing food and raising our animals without using chemical pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones,” explains Beatrix.

While working out the logistics and ensuring the health of the animals in more natural ways took some getting used to, Beatrix has never looked back. In fact, she set her sights clearly on the future and developing a line of further-processed products with a bold brand identity that would make them stand out in the emerging organic food marketplace.

Opportunity knocks in the organic food market


In order to do that, Beatrix has been working closely with another Fanshawe College alumna Meriel Cromarty, who has her own company called Forktrends Foods Inc. Meriel consults within the agricultural and food processing sectors to develop new food products, seek funding for innovation, and create effective packaging, graphic and marketing initiatives.

Growing up in northern Ontario, Meriel also developed an interest in livestock early on when her father rented land and bought cattle and horses. “While I wasn’t a farm girl, I had a natural aptitude for it. When I found the Farm Business Management program at Fanshawe, I thought that would be a way for me to explore agriculture as a career.”

Her career took her across Canada and back over the years as she gained in-depth and hands-on industry experience in primary production. She progressively increased her responsibilities to the position of Production Manager and oversaw operations and logistics of medium and large sized integrated swine companies.

Meeting up with Beatrix Enter proved to be a good match: each

had skills that complemented one another and together they have been driving the Hungry Hollow Organics line of products forward at a steady pace.

Today, Hungry Hollow is more than just the farm and the brand. It is made up of a network of like-minded certified organic farming families who produce healthy inputs that are made into convenient consumer meal choices. The product line includes a number of sausage, meatball, burger and entrée choices, as well as ground beef, chicken and turkey, all certified organic by OC/PRO Canada.

“Organic farm operations are usually quite a bit smaller than the ones you find within mainstream agricultural markets, so it hasn’t been practical for each producer to do his or her own product development, marketing and sales,” explains Beatrix. “Essentially the Hungry Hollow Organics line is a cost-effective way to enable a number of organic farm families to compete collectively within the huge retail food and foodservice industries.”

You can find Hungry Hollow Organics meat products in retail outlets. For more information, visit www.hungryholloworganics.com.

On November 2, 2007, 16 members of the first Advanced Filmmaking program at Fanshawe earned their certificates and readied themselves to go to work. On the same day, the group watched a fellow Fanshawe student from a previous era proudly accept his diploma, an honorary one, via video and give an inspiring and humble acceptance of the recognition.

Although Oscar-winner Paul Haggis could not attend the ceremony in person because he had to be in France for the premiere of his recent film, he sent his best wishes via video to fellow students and their families who were gathered for convocation in London. The actual presentation to Paul of his diploma and scarf was done a week earlier by Joseph Dunlop-Addley, Program Coordinator at Fanshawe. Joseph and Paul were classmates when they studied filmmaking together for a year at Fanshawe in the early 1970s.

Paul left Fanshawe before completing his diploma and set out for L.A. in 1975 to seek his fortune. It took more than three years before he sold his first TV script but once he broke through, he went on to work for more than 20 years as a television writer and producer. In 1989, he received two Emmy awards for his work on the show thirtysomething: one as a writer; and another as a producer.

Then he turned his sights to films about eight years ago. As a film writer, he received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for 2004’s Million Dollar Baby, directed by Clint Eastwood, which won four Oscars, including Best Picture.

The next year, Crash, which he co-wrote, directed and co-produced, was released internationally. Crash was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay categories.

The Advanced Filmmaking Class of 2007 had only just started their program in September 2006, when Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis returned to London and spent a morning doing a Master Class with them. Paul is shown above with the students and professors in the program.

Advanced Filmmaking celebrates its first grads - plus oneAdvanced Filmmaking might be a new program at Fanshawe but it graduated its first class in style last Fall, along with honouring a high-profile seasoned professional who already had some pretty impressive hardware adorning his display case.

Joseph Dunlop-Addley traveled to visit his friend and former Fanshawe classmate Paul Haggis in Santa Monica, California to present Paul with his honorary diploma. Two filmmaking students came along to help with the filming.



Shauna Kechego-Nichols (Advanced Filmmaking 07/ Broadcasting Television 06) “I was in Toronto for about eight months and working pretty steady. I had an amazing internship with the imagineNATIVE film + media arts festival and it turned into ongoing work as a Festival Assistant. It was great for experience but really expensive to live, so I have just returned to London to accept a new position here that

allows me to balance my career with family much better. I am keenly interested in both social work and documentary making, so my new part-time position as a Media Statistician with a native family healing service centre is a perfect place to be. It allows me to see people in a more in depth way and work on visual presentations of their stories, gather research for funding applications, and do media relations. I also plan to continue my education by taking Sociology and First Nation Studies at the University of Western Ontario.”

Samuel Yerraguntla (Advanced Filmmaking 07) “I came into the program with filmmaking and television experience in India and I was seeking to gain media and film experience in North America. The program opened a number of opportunities for me and I found it a great community in which to develop contacts in the industry while still a student. I’ve been with the Global Media television house for about four weeks editing a daily television show.

After graduation, I worked as a part-time production assistant and assistant editor with Ron Mann and his film production company, Sphinx. Sphinx has been active since 1979 producing award-winning films and CD-Roms on popular culture. I got an internship with Sphinx primarily through connections that my Fanshawe professors had, and the work continued after graduation. Since it my goal to be a documentary producer, I find that the work I’m doing has been a really valuable way to add to my skills and experience.”

Kevin Hall (Advanced Filmmaking 07/ Multi Media Design and Production 06) “I’ve been in Hamilton, Ontario basically busy with freelance work and my own projects. I recently worked as a 2nd Camera Assistant on a feature film starring Jason Jones, Samantha Bee, and Dave Foley. I also worked as a Production Assistant/Camera Operator for East Hill Productions on monthly music promos for Canadian bands

such as Simple Plan, Dallas Green, and most recently Sum 41 and Brian Melo. I also had a few jobs on the TV show Mayday for the Discovery Channel. I was part of a test shoot with the new RED ONE camera which hopes to replace film and HD. It shoots at around twice the resolution of HD and it was the first time the camera was used in Ontario. The other all-consuming thing right now is that I’m the creator and promoter of the First Annual Hamilton Music and Film Festival happening in mid-April in Hamilton – 10 bands, many short films and music videos, food, and awards. Never a dull moment in this business.”

The first Advanced Filmmaking class graduated in November 2007 and hit the ground running. Six months later, here are a few updates from the field. Many were able to make connections to work through their professors, Eva Ziemsen and Romy Goulem, who network regularly with industry leaders to arrange field trips, guest lecturers and internships.

Paul Haggis won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the film itself received the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Paul Haggis went on to adapt James Bradley’s book, Flags of Our Fathers, about the Battle of Iwo Jima and the film was released in October 2006. Paul Haggis was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in writing Letters from Iwo Jima, with Japanese writer Iris Yamashita. Paul’s latest film is In the Valley of Elah, in which Tommy Lee Jones gave an Oscar-nominated performance.

Overall, Paul has won two Academy Awards, has been nominated for five, and he holds the distinction of being the only person in history to have penned two consecutive Best Picture Oscar-winning films.

Despite reaching the pinnacle within his profession and being treated as a hero where ever he goes in Hollywood, Paul was refreshingly candid when he visited Fanshawe in 2006 and in his comments on video at the 2007 convocation.

“Thank you. I’m really touched by this. It is so cool. I never graduated from anything in my entire life,” he said as he was presented with his diploma. He thanked his parents and his family for their support of his career path, especially during the early years which were pretty lean. His comments went on to inspire the students to accomplish great things.

“Don’t take the practical route through life. Be daring, do what is in your heart,” he shared. “When you step out at the start, give much more than you get, give away your services, work for free, do whatever, especially if you’re trying to break into something. The more you help others, the more you’ll get back, the more you’ll grow. It worked for me and it will work for you.”

Many of the students listening that day took Paul Haggis’ advice to heart and we are pleased to share a few of their stories.

One of south-western Ontario’s largest employers of Fanshawe College alumni is London Bridge Child Care Services. This community-based non-profit child care organization was established in 1993 to serve children from infancy to five years of age and their families. It operates 14 early childhood development and education centres in London, Sarnia and Exeter, Ontario.

All of the programs are licensed under the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services, and as such provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarten and school age children.

“Our Early Childhood Educators, many of them Fanshawe College graduates, know that relationships are the foundation for early learning,” says Charlene Grainger, Director of Human Resources. “By creating a safe and welcoming environment, each child’s natural social and emotional development is nurtured.

art and sensory materials, music and movement, as well as the opportunity for dramatic play. The organization uses the theory and practice of Emergent Curriculum as a way to plan curriculum based on the student’s interest and passions. Once teachers see an interest emerging from the children, they brainstorm ways to study the topic in depth.

“This means that rather than starting with a lesson plan, which requires a hook or a theme to get the children interested, Emergent Curriculum starts with the children’s interests,” explains Ian Gibb, Executive Director. “It’s a process that requires a great deal of flexibility and creativity on the part of the teachers, but ours

do it very well and the feedback from children and parents is that it really opens up the children to a world of practical learning opportunities.”

Surveying the landscape with precisionIt takes a steady eye to work at

Callon Dietz and many of those eyes belong to Fanshawe alumni! The work of the day is rooted in precision and quality, as the company offers world-class surveying, mapping and land information services. The latest technology is employed to meet client needs, both in field surveys and through the use of specialized computer programs.

Callon Dietz has been operating since 1967 with London, Ontario as its base, but the company has been increasing its business across Ontario and expanding nationally and internationally. Current project work includes gas line and other above-ground and underground services, highway reconstruction programs, subdivision and condominium surveys, digital terrain modeling and high-tech mapping.

At its most basic level, a land survey establishes or re-establishes property boundaries. At its most complex, a properly prepared survey can settle legal disputes over property ownership. The client base includes legal and real estate professionals, residential and commercial property developers, and individual homeowners.

“We have a full-time staff complement of 40 and just about half of them have Fanshawe College credentials and connections,” explains owner Terry Dietz. “We’ve always considered Fanshawe as one of our most important community partners and we proudly support the College in any way we can.”

Rolling along with Timken for 40 great years

It was a match well made in 1968 when Wilf Riecker (Tool Making Technician 68) saw

a job posting at Fanshawe College for Canadian Timken, Limited and applied for work.

Some 40 years later, Wilf ’s ties to both Timken Canada LP and Fanshawe College remain

strong – a career well planned and a life well lived – with more to come!

As a young boy, Wilf Riecker immigrated to Canada from Germany with his family and early on, Wilf was destined to follow in his father’s footsteps.

“My father was a tradesman and that was our ticket to Canada,” explains Wilf. “My parents expected me to follow that path, so I majored in machine shop at H.B. Beal. But I felt that in order to get a good apprenticeship, I should take formal college level training.”

It was 1966 when he enrolled in the Ontario Vocational Centre on Oxford Street in London. Little did he know that within a year, the school would become Fanshawe College and some 40 years later, he would still hold close ties and warm memories forged so many years ago.

“Timken was and still is a leading manufacturer of highly-engineered bearings and getting a chance to apprentice with them just out of college

suited me perfectly,” he says as he recalls the day when he first walked into the company facility at the corner of Talbot Street and First Avenue in St. Thomas, Ontario. “My first job was as a Tool Inspector Apprentice and three years later I was able to complete my ticket, the first person to do so under the newly-minted apprenticeship program Timken had set up.”

From that point, Wilf set his sights on the Engineering Department and in 1971, he joined them working first as a Draftsman and then an Engineering Technician. He spent one year as a Buyer in Purchasing, but was still interested in getting into supervision. In 1976, he joined the Inspection Department as a supervisor and the next year, took on the title and role of Chief Inspector, a job known today as Quality Control Manager.


Timken Canada LP is part of the The Timken Company

of Canton, Ohio, established in 1899. Today, Timken

has operations in 26 countries and is a leading global

manufacturer of highly engineered bearings and alloy steel.

Timken employs more than 25,000 people and recorded

sales of $5.2 billion in 2007. The St. Thomas, Ontario facility

was built in 1946, expanding several times over the years,

and today its workforce of 350 associates produce tapered

roller bearings for the automotive industry.

About Timken

“Things were rolling along just fine,” recalls Wilf, “when out of the

blue, the Manager of Personnel asked me if I would like to

work in personnel and labour relations and I said, sure, why

not?” So in 1981, he became Labour Relations Representative and in

1989, he was promoted to Manager of Personnel and Labour Relations.

That role continued to evolve into what is now Human Resources Manager. In 1997, Wilf also took on the added responsibility of Corporate Secretary for Timken’s Canadian operations. This makes him legal signatory for Timken in Canada.

“It is a common practice at Timken to promote from within so that people in management positions truly understand the product and the operation,” explains Wilf. “They knew, even before I did, that I would be a good candidate for Human Resources. I realize now that it was meant to be. I really love this job; it has opened many opportunities for me.”

One of those doors was reaching beyond Timken and having an impact in the community.

“Prior to turning 40, my focus was pretty much on family and building my career,” explains Wilf. “But since then I have really enjoyed being a volunteer in causes and institutions that make a community strong, including Fanshawe College, the hospital, and local economic development initiatives.”

He was invited to join the Fanshawe Board of Governors and served as an active Board member from 1991 to 1996. “It was an exciting time because we were trying to fund a new facility for Fanshawe to better serve St. Thomas-Elgin. We had a vision of a new shared facility with the Catholic School Board because they needed a new high school.

“The day we broke ground for the joint project, it was incredible. I feel proud every time I drive up to the St. Thomas campus that I had input on the committee, alongside so many other dedicated community leaders, that together we made it happen,” remembers Wilf with a smile.

One of the charitable arms founded by the Timken family is known as the Maple Leaf Foundation. This foundation was a generous supporter of the new Fanshawe campus and has supported many other high profile projects

in the St. Thomas-Elgin community. Today Wilf is active with the Maple Leaf Foundation, St. Thomas-Elgin General Hospital Board of Governors, and the board of the Elgin Community Futures Development Corporation.

While both Timken Canada LP and the industrial landscape in St. Thomas have changed tremendously over the decades, the company remains strongly committed to its customer base, to the quality of its products, and to supporting the communities in which it operates.

“The Timken Company and the Maple Leaf Foundation have meant a great deal to Fanshawe College and the Elgin community,” says Tom Pickard, Principal of the St. Thomas Elgin campus of Fanshawe. “And when I think of Wilf’s own personal commitment of time and effort to benefit others, I see a great example of what Fanshawe graduates can do to impact the world around them.”

As for the future, Wilf and his wife have already moved a little closer to the lake, living now in picturesque Port Stanley, Ontario, with an eye to sailing off into retirement in a few years’ time. After a life and career so well lived, we wish them many more years of health, happiness and sunny days.


Wondering where they are now?

Touch base with at least one old friend from your class to discuss when and where you’d like to have your reunion. It can be in London or your campus town, but doesn’t have to be. If most of you now live in Toronto or BC, or you’ll all be attending a professional conference in some other city, you could host it there. But most reunions happen in London and many at the campus itself. We’ve got lots of space, room to dine, take a tour of the hallowed halls, and even stay overnight in residence if you plan to meet in the summer.

Think about what you’d like to do during the event and who should attend. Most reunions are held at a restaurant either on campus or in the community but they don’t have to be. Sometimes a casual BBQ supper or afternoon/evening picnic at someone’s home is good, especially for smaller groups. Spouses and kids? The jury is out. If your spouse never attended Fanshawe, he or she might find three or four hours of crazy stories and “whatever happened to Joe” just a bit too much. If they also attended and will know other friends at the party, it can work out fine. Past instructors? Yes, we can help you track them down.

Call the Alumni Office and we’ll help you get word out to your classmates that a reunion is being planned. Replies can come back into the Alumni Office or directly to you by email if you prefer. We can give you ideas for a venue, how to cost it out, how to follow up with people and what ideas work best. Email, web and word-of-mouth are great ways to track people down and you can also use a list from your professional association to find lost classmates from your industry. RSVPs, accommodations and travel plans can also be coordinated by email.

Plan your own reunion...it’s as easy as

If you’ve ever wondered what happened to your Fanshawe

friends and classmates, why not plan a party, invite them

back and have a blast finding out what everyone else is up

to? All you need is one other classmate for moral support

and the Alumni Office will be your resource to help pull it all

together. Planning a class reunion is easy and there’s no time

like the present…here’s how it’s done.

Trevor Coutts (Graphic Design 03) and Lisa Geddes (Interior Decorating 06) welcomed an early Christmas present in December 2007. Phoenix arrived just in time to delight parents, grandparents, family and friends and make the holidays shiny and bright. Going from a family of two to a family of three has been quite the adjustment but one that they wouldn’t change for the world. Lisa is enjoying every minute of her time with Phoenix, planning to be home with him for the next year, and Trevor continues as a graphic designer with the Digital Media Centre at the London campus of Fanshawe College.

On December 22, 2007, Fanshawe College lost one of its brightest faces

and longest-standing employees, Karen Laura (Williams) Monahan. In addition to being a proud alumna herself, having graduated from Broadcasting-Television in 1976, she also worked for the College for more than 30 years.

As Karen’s skills and experience expanded throughout

her career, so did the College itself and so did her family. She and her husband, Alan Monahan welcomed two beautiful daughters, Hayley and Sarah, who are now grown up. They were, and always will be, Karen’s shining stars.

Karen herself came to Canada as a teenager from her beloved homeland of Grenada and attended both Alma College

and Fanshawe College. She was proud to be one of Fanshawe’s first international students and she never forgot her experiences as a newcomer. She always had a special spot in her heart for people who were a long way from home.

She began work for Fanshawe shortly after graduation, working first as an audio-visual technician and then in the Instructional Materials Production unit of the library. From there, she joined the close-knit Public Relations Department as Publications Officer.

The department later became Marketing and Communications and Karen continued to be an integral team member assisting not only with publications but also special events, openings of new facilities, marketing, media, and community relations. It was busy and she was always heading somewhere, walking countless miles within the ever-expanding halls at Fanshawe.

In 2002, she took on a new challenge, perfectly-suited to her personality and experience, the role of Alumni Officer. Employing her usual professionalism and charm, Karen worked closely with the Alumni Board to develop new initiatives and services to benefit Alumni and improve on existing programs.

It would be hard to imagine a better friend or colleague to have than Karen Monahan. She was a mentor to countless student workers and new employees over the years, always willing to help someone get settled in, find their way around, or solve a problem. She treated everyone with respect and care and worked hard to bring out the best in every situation.

So it is with sadness and regret that we send out sincere condolences to her family and friends, but we also thank them for sharing Karen with us, her Fanshawe family, for so many years.

She graced the halls with a breath of fresh air

The Monahan family:

Hayley, Sarah, Alan and Karen.

Saying goodbye to friend, colleague and Alumni Officer, Karen Monahan.

“By meeting and emailing back and forth with Jason, I’m really getting a more realistic look at the world of marketing and where this career can take me. I don’t feel as lost as before and it’s nice to know someone cares. I value his opinion because he has been where I am. It’s great to have him as a guide and sounding board.”

Andre Salmon is a current Fanshawe student in the Business Marketing program. He has been matched with Mentor Jason Moorehead for the past five months.

The Mentoring For Success program is looking for a few good men and women; could it be your turn? We have a growing list of motivated students and recent graduates who want to become Mentees. We are looking to match these individuals with a Mentor - someone like you - an alumni member who already has a well-established and successful career.

It’s a collaborative partnership in which the Mentor gives advice and encouragement to someone with less experience in the field. The student or recent graduate is responsible for drawing out what he or she needs and wants, while the Mentor is accountable to give knowledge and support when requested.

If you had a mentor yourself somewhere along your career path, you know how important this relationship can be. Now you can become that important someone to a student who could really use your help. For more information or to apply, visit www.mentoringforsuccess.ca.

“I’ve been really enjoying my role as a Mentor. We

met in person at first, but now it’s through email

and phone, which works great with my schedule

since I travel a lot. I’ve been encouraging Andre to

make the best of his co-op terms. By being open to learning and willing to

work hard, I feel confident he will reach his goals.”

Jason Moorehead (Business Marketing 96) is Vice-President

Sales, Fruit of the Loom Canada Inc. He has been

building his current career path in Toronto since 2001.
