ORNITHOLOGY: WORKS BY BARBARA
KENDRICK AND MONIQUE LUCHETTI
Monday, September 28–Saturday, November 7
Reception: Thursday, October 1, 5–7pm; Gallery Talk at 6:30pm
We are alive in a world where the distinction between what we
know to be human and what we believe to be animal is shrink-
ing. Kendrick’s and Luchetti’s artwork use images of birds to
speak of the ways our lives are inextricably tied together, inter-
dependent and bound to the earth for survival.
Kendrick admires birds’ ability to survive and adapt to new,
sometimes hostile, environments. The way they build nests
in storefront signs, or gather cigarette butts to line their nests,
informs her collages. Each collage opens up new questions
about our connection to the way the birds live in our world.
Luchetti sifts through museum’s ornithology collections, glean-
ing the identities of the birds, preserved and tagged by humans
for further study. Her drawings are a meditation of loss and
remembering, and on the contradiction inherent in humans,
racing to collect and catalog species, as they haplessly destroy
the same species through climate change and environmental
devastation.

their teenagers addicted to an online horror video game. The

Parkland Theatre’s Second Stage
Comedy!
NOISES OFF!
By Michael Frayn
Directed by Dallas Street
Called the funniest modern farce ever written, Noises Off pres-
ents a hilariously hectic look backstage as a cast of frazzled
actors rehearse and perform a naughty little British comedy
called Nothing On. Doors slamming, on- and offstage romances,
flubbed lines, and misplaced plates of sardines all figure in the
zany plot of this loving satire of life in the theatre.

Health Care
Certificate in Community Mental
Health
This program is offered in partnership with Douglas
College and will provide you with a college credential
in Mental Health. The Certificate in Community
Mental Health is for those wishing to enhance their
knowledge and skills in the field of mental health.
Philosophy, principles and practice in the program
are based on recovery using the Psychosocial
Rehabilitation (PSR) approach. Northern Health has
identified Psychosocial Rehabilitation as a foundation
of mental healthcare for the north. It is a holistic
approach that places the person, not the illness, at
the centre of all interventions.
The Certificate in Community Mental Health consists
of two courses, which can be taken individually
(providing the prerequisites are met): Introduction to
Mental Health and Psychosocial Rehabilitation.
Individuals with limited or no experience in mental
health must start with Introduction to Mental Health
first. Health care workers with current experience and
knowledge in mental health disorders, the mental
health system, best practices in mental health and
person-centred practice may be able to challenge the
Introduction to Mental Health component and move
directly to Psychosocial Rehabilitation. Please
contact us for more information.

so in the microwave.

ize your wooden cutting boards.

Why this program?
As of 2012, there were nearly 250,000 line workers in the U.S.,
according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Line workers install and
repair the Nation’s electric power grid and communications systems.
Whereas the number of line workers is expected to grow modestly, the

The 900-hour Electrical Power Line Mechanic Program provides
students with the core knowledge and skills needed to become
productive members of a utility construction line crew. New line
workers often enter the trade as ground persons—workers that support
team members doing the aerial work. With a focus on safety, students
learn pole climbing, hardware identification and assembly, aerial and
underground construction techniques, and more. Students also learn
the skills needed to enter into the advanced apprenticeship programs
often required by industry employers.

highlighting the works of three of America’s most
prodigious directors. Adam has an M.A. in Cinema
Studies from New York University and over seven

discussion and video clips.
52 Shades of Hitchcock
Legendary director Alfred Hitchcock is considered

From the infamous shower scene in Psycho to the
hypnotic final act of Vertigo, his films and innovative
methods stand the test of time. This course will ex-
plore the method behind the madness of his 52
feature films by analyzing themes, motifs, subversive-
ness and manipulation that elevate Hitchcock from
a master of suspense to a master of storytelling. His
indelible influence can still be seen in films today,
and his impact on future generations of filmmakers
will also be examined. $99** (includes $40 in fees*)

Leadership Series: Coaching
Your Employees
Coaching implies that leaders not only supervise,
but also develop the capacities and skills of
all employees. Being a proactive coach is
a fundamental component of being a good
leader in the workplace. A coaching mind-

not simply as subordinates, but proteges and
resources to be developed and expanded.
Coaching is critical to workplace leadership.
This course emphasizes the importance of
supplementing the traditional supervisory
mind-set with the coaching mind-set. The
course draws upon a variety of examples
to illustrate coaching in an organizational
context, and how the detail of coaching is
an easy-to-understand and practical context.
The course takes a smooth approach through
coaching dialogue while illuminates effective
techniques for listening, asking questions,
and providing feedback. The course provides
a wealth of tools and processes, including
instruction on how to recognize and use the
language of coaching and balance it’s’different
functions. *Snacks and beverages provided.

Dental Assistant Program (RHS & ICE
Certification) (264 hours)
Dental assistants perform a variety of patient care, office, and laborato-
ry duties.They sterilize and disinfect instruments and equipment, prepare and lay out
the instruments and materials required to treat each patient, and obtain and update
patients’ dental records.Assistants make patients comfortable in the dental chair and
prepare them for treatment. During dental procedures, assistants work alongside the
dentist.They hand instruments and materials to dentists and keep patients’ mouths
dry and clear by using suction hoses or other devices.They also instruct patients on
postoperative and general oral healthcare. Dental assistants prepare materials for
impressions and restorations, and process dental x-rays as directed by a dentist.They
also may remove sutures, apply topical anesthetics to gums or cavity-preventive agents
to teeth, remove excess cement used in the filling process, and place dental dams
to isolate teeth for treatment. Many states are expanding dental assistants’ duties to
include tasks such as coronal polishing and restorative dentistry functions for those
assistants who meet specific training and experience requirements. Dental assistants
with laboratory duties make casts of the teeth and mouth from impressions, clean and
polish removable appliances, and make temporary crowns.Those with office duties
schedule and confirm appointments, receive patients, keep treatment records, send
bills, receive payments, and order dental supplies and materials. Dental assistants must
work closely with, and under the supervision of, dentists. Dental assistants are an im-
portant part of the oral healthcare team with dental hygienists and dentists.They are
usually employed by private and group practices, public health clinics, mobile dental
clinics, military service, dental schools and even insurance companies.
The program of study includes: Dental Assisting Techniques, Oral Anatomy, Dental
Radiology, Dental Sciences, Dental Materials, Dental Assisting Techniques, Dental Sci-
ences, Dental Records, and an optional opportunity to participate in a Dental Clinical
Externship.The method of learning in this program will be lectures, real life case stud-
ies, hands-on clinical practice, guest speakers and dental industry representatives from
today’s dental field delivering the most current and up-to-date findings within the
dental field.ACC has a full chairside dental classroom laboratory, where students will
be learning all relevant chairside techniques.This course meets two nights per week
for nine months.
** Essential Job Skills & Career Development Course REQUIRED for
Certificate of Completion of program. Please see page 16.**
Dental assistants are not licensed, certified or registered by the Department of Public
Health. Dentists may allow dental assistants to take x-rays if they have demonstrated
successful completion of the RHS portion of the Dental Assistant National Board
(DANB). Although it is not required for the Radiation Health and Safety (RHS)
components of the DANB, this course will prepare students to sit for the Radia-
tion Health and Safety (RHS) and the Infection Control (ICE) portion of the Dental
Assistant National Board (DANB) exams.After obtaining the Infection Control and
Radiology component, you then are eligible to work in the field and accumulate the
required hours needed to take the third and final portion of the CDA certification.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that Dental Assisting is expected to
grow 36% from 2008 to 2018.

The Medium Who
Baffled Houdini
“Houdini the Magician Stumped,” pro-
claimed the Boston Herald in 1924.Who
was this medium who baffled Houdini?
None other than Margery Crandon, the
wife of a prominent Boston surgeon. She
captivated not only Harvard professors,
but the editors of Scientific American
with her amazing physical mediumship,
which included floating trumpets, direct
voice of spirit, and deep trance medi-
umship.While Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle
championed Margery’s mediumship,
Harry Houdini denounced her as a fraud.
Was Margery Crandon too good to be
true or was she the last of the great
physical mediums?

Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson’s first
serious biographer called
him “an atrocious saint”
because of his many
contradictions. He could be
both pragmatic and dogmatic
in his personal dealings, his life
in the military, and his terms as president.
This lecture will cover the many events in
Jackson’s life and try to locate those core
values that explain who he truly was. In his
life, he brushed up against many famous
people from John Quincy Adams and Henry
Clay to Peggy Eaton and Sam Houston, yet
he towered above them all.
Course: 45390 10/9

Betsy Patterson
Bonaparte,
“Duchess of
Baltimore”
Long before Baltimore’s
Wallace Warfield Simpson
married into British royalty,
Betsy Patterson entered the imperial family
of Napoleon Bonaparte by marrying his
youngest brother, Jerome. Alas, it was not
to be a lengthy marriage since Napoleon
rejected the match and eventually convinced
his brother to seek a new wife elsewhere.
Betsy spent a lifetime seeking a throne for
her son and entrance into European society
for herself. Sadly, she spent far too many
years alone in Baltimore, a city she professed
to hate. Along the way, she shocked proper
Americans with the risqué dress and became
a fast friend to Dolly Madison.
Course: 45391 10/16
Emerson Thoreau,
Transcendent
Early 19th century New
England witnessed a

Writers like Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Henry David Thoreau
and Nathaniel Hawthorne helped bring the
Romantic Age to America and took it to the
limit by introducing something known as
Transcendentalism. Come and explore this
lively group of writers as well as some of
their lesser known associates like Margaret
Fuller and Bronson Alcott.
Course: 45392 11/6
Louisa Catherine
Adams
America’s only foreign-born
first lady, Louisa Catherine
Adams, faced many
challenges as she grew
into a confident, nineteenth-
century feminist. She saw her son
kidnapped in New York and chased down the
kidnapper through dangerous streets. She
traveled from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Paris
in the dead of winter, through a landscape
riddled with the battlefields of Napoleonic
Europe. Yet perhaps her greatest challenges
were her husband, John Quincy Adams, and
her famous mother-in-law, Abigail Adams.
Course: 45393 11/13
Sam Houston,
Father of Texas
Sam Houston was
president of a country -
The Republic of Texas,
governor of two states, a
congressman and senator, and
a military hero who received four wounds in
the service of his country. Friend to Andrew
Jackson, he was a larger-than-life western
hero with many virtues - loyalty among
them - and a basketful of vices, including a
penchant for strong whisky and lots of it. He
was a man of character who shaped much of
the early southwest.

The Continuing Education department of
Bellevue College may not be located on
Main Campus, but that doesn’t stop us
from having access to many helpful re-
sources that are available to all Bellevue
College students. Over the last decade,
I have experienced Bellevue College as
both a student and an employee. In all
this time, I am still constantly learning of
the many free resources that students on
both campuses can use to their advan-
tage.

and all of these student resources. Wheth-
er you’d like to find your dream job, learn

TOP 7 REASONS
WHY THE
BUSINESS
TRAINING
INSTITUTE
IS A GREAT CHOICE
FOR CORPORATE
TRAINING
Congratulations! You realize that to im-
prove employee retention and business
success you need to provide your employ-
ees with training and/or development op-
portunities. Now, where to start? Getting
others on board is easier when you have
the right information. Here are the top sev-
en reasons why you should have Bellevue
College’s Business Training Institute (BTI)
provide these important services:
1. Receive Credentials, Certificates or
CEU’s: The training you provide your
employees can have permanent value
when they can receive credit for their
workshops. Bellevue College can de-
termine whether your training program
can qualify for college credits towards
a degree, certification in specific pro-
grams or completion of Continuing Ed-
ucation Units (CEUs). CEUs can help
your employees earn certifications,
keep their licenses current, and keep
on top of best practices.
2. Flexibility: We can do workshops at
your site, our north campus or even
online – when you need it. And with
our broad continuing education offer-
ings, if you don’t have enough folks to
make up a private workshop, we can
help you determine which of our reg-
ular classes will help build the needed
skills for your employees.
3. Broad Offerings: Need training on Con-
flict Management, Email Best Practic-
es, AND C# Programming? BTI has
over 2,000 training modules so they
can provide you with a one stop shop
for any type of workshop you may
need.

TEEN HAS
A “BLAST”
in BCCE Summer Program
I’m going to be completely honest. The BC summer Teen Classes
are quite literally the highlight of my summer. Every year. Without
fail. That probably sounds a little strange, but hear me out. I’ve
been taking Katherine Bond’s Teen Novelist classes at BC for three
years now and at first I really didn’t know what to expect. School?
In the summer? Maybe not for me. But after just one afternoon with
Katherine my outlook changed completely.
It was just me, a few other teens, and Katherine in a classroom for
a few hours a day, writing, reading, and learning with each other.
And it was an absolute blast. Katherine brings life and excitement
to what she teaches and interacts with me and the other students
in a truly honest, personable way. Each summer I’m thrilled to see
what new classes she offers. In the Teen Novelist classes I learned
the nitty gritty of plotting, character building, and scene construc-
tion and I can truly say that my writing is so much stronger for it.
Furthermore, I met other teens who are just as passionate about
writing as I am and made some lasting friendships. When you take
a class with Katherine Bond it isn’t long before everyone there starts
to feel a little like family.
I also know now that the number one thing you can expect from
Katherine is the unexpected. I’ve taken some of her classes multiple
times over the summers and found that each time my experience
is unique. Every year she has new concepts to share with us, new
games to play or exercises to try. I know in Katherine’s classes I’ll
never be bored, and I always come away with a new skill or strat-
egy to use in my own writing that I didn’t have before. In general,
the Teen Classes at BC offer a really great opportunity to interact
with other teens who share your interests, meet new people, learn
from great instructors, and all of this without the scary prospect of
a grade or final exam looming over your head.
Maybe you’re not interested in writing, maybe you’ve always want-
ed to try photography, or computer coding, or whatever. Regard-
less of what you’re interested in, I think that these summer classes
can give you a great taste test, a sense of what to expect if you
were to dedicate more time to the subject. And it’s all very low key,
no homework, a laidback atmosphere, like school, except without
all the parts you hate. So now, I can say that I do know what to
expect from these classes. I can expect some familiar faces, some
new ones, but most of all I can expect a great learning atmosphere
and experience. Every time.

Pictures tell a thousand
words, or so the saying
goes, but what’s behind
the photo is key to how
well a story is conveyed.
David Perry is an instruc-
tor of Digital Photogra-
phy in the Arts Design
program here at Bellevue
College Continuing Ed-
ucation. His life’s work
has been focused on
capturing those perfect
moments that encapsu-
late a world of meaning
in just one photograph. He has brought
his knowledge, creativity, and enthusiasm
to his classes for all aspiring or seasoned
photographers to experience.
The Early Days
David worked in photography during col-
lege, and has photographed for compa-
nies like Boeing and Rockwell throughout
his career. He knew early on that if he
wanted to succeed as a professional pho-
tographer, he needed to move from Walla
Walla to the Seattle area. He was always
guided by the desire to be a storyteller,
and he did so by telling stories for large
corporations. One of David’s specialties
is photographing people, and he has a
special skill for evoking certain emotions
through the way in which he photographs
his subjects. Over the years, he honed his
craft and decided it was time to pass on
what he had learned by teaching.
Inside the
Classroom
There is no “one-size
fits all” persona when it
comes to professional
photographers, and that
goes for David Perry as
well. He has been teach-
ing at Continuing Educa-
tion for the past year, and
his classes continue to
be in-demand by Digital
Photography students.
David strives to inspire
through his teachings,
“Simple, worlds of information with few
things to look at; it makes pictures more
powerful.” He is an energetic instructor
who likes to move and play with a passion
that is contagious. David learned what it
means to be a great teacher from his father
who taught him to, “light a fire in students,
inspire, share, and encourage through an
open learning environment.”
Discover Your Creative Voice
There’s no better time, or weather, than
now to take a photography class with Da-
vid Perry. David’s wisdom and keen eye
for beauty in all things will guide you to
finding your inner artistic voice. “We take
pictures of nouns when we should take
them of prepositions, adjectives and ad-
verbs. That’s where the real magic starts,
and when you have a reason for taking
pictures.” David’s goal is to get his stu-
dents to think beyond the camera and
clicking, and to tell a story of what they

want to accomplish. If you’re ready to be
inspired and learn from a true profession-
al, go ahead and sign up for David Perry’s
upcoming classes. Visit the Digital Pho-
tography page on our website at www.BC-

Social Media Strategy that
gets RESULTS: Level 1
According to a recent Gallup poll, 65% of the people
surveyed felt Social Media was ineffective for their
organization. With traditional media on a path to
extinction, what can a business or organization do
to create a Social Media Strategy that gets RESULTS?
The answer is focusing not on the “tools” of social
media but to create a strategy and plan that drives
“Word-of-Mouth on Steroids” for the company…
reducing the cost of sale and getting your custom-
ers to do the marketing for you. This leverages the
power of Social Media and uses the tools as the
channel of distribution, rather than the focal point.

results, what it takes to create such a strategy and
how you can use it to grow your business and create
differentiation in the market. Fee: $89

5 Reasons to Get Your
Scrum Certification
If you work in IT, frequent professional blogs and
the Twittersphere, or are a fan of the HBO hit
Silicon Valley, odds are you’ve heard about Agile
and Scrum. So what’s all the buzz about? Check
out the top five reasons why it’s time for you to
get your Scrum certification!
1. The number of companies moving to Agile is
growing. A decade ago, it was standard in the
software industry to release products on 2-3
year cycles. The needs of the modern customer
have changed, and companies have had to
speed up the release of their products to re-
main relevant in the market place. To allow for
both rapid innovation and disciplined release
in order to meet the needs of the customer,
organizations such as Microsoft, Amazon,
Salesforce, and Spotify have been making the
shift to Agile practices.
2. It isn’t just for software development anymore.
While Scrum was formalized for use in the
software development world back in the mid-
90s, its practices have been adapted across
a growing range of industries. Scrum is an
Agile framework applied to complete complex
projects. Some domains which have success-
fully adopted Agile include manufacturing,
marketing, operations, publishing, education,
and more.
3. You can make a difference in how your
company operates. The Scrum methodology
is designed to enable project teams to perform
at a higher level, produce innovative products
faster, reduce waste, and drive efficiency.
4. It can lead to an exciting new career. With
so many companies moving to Agile, there
is also an increased need for professional
Agile coaches. Agile coaches help leadership
and team members navigate the challenging
process of moving to Agile by serving as a
harbinger of change, facilitating stakeholder
dialogues, and challenging the status quo.
5. There is a minimal cost and time commitment
to becoming certified. Angela Druckman’s Cer-
tified ScrumMaster class is two action-packed
days for only $995, which includes the cost of
the CSM Exam. Students will leave the course
ready to improve project predictability right
away. Join us for the next class Thursday, July
9th-Friday, July 10th to take the next step in
your career!

TEACHING
STUDENTS
MEANS
INFLUENCING
LIVES
by Grant Hamilton
Challenging, but rewarding,
says one first-time teacher.
At ACC’s Centre of Continuing Studies,
we’re always finding new instructors.
Sometimes we have students who want
to learn something and we’ll try to find
someone to teach it. Other times, we
know of someone who has interesting
knowledge to share and we’ll help them
find students to teach it to.
Lately, there’s been a strong interest in
photography classes from Brandon and
area students. It seems people are hungry
to learn just about anything about
photography, and they’re always wanting
to upgrade their skills.
We figured that was at least partly
because most people carry a camera
with them a whole lot more often than
they used to — they’re embedded in
every smartphone — and because sharing
photos on social media has become such
a huge part of many peoples’ lives.
So we thought a course concentrating
on Smartphone Photography would be a
perfect fit.
It was!
We brought Colin Corneau to teach the
class, first in May and again on August
17. And it’s proven so popular that we’re
running it again on Oct. 8.
Colin’s not just a professional
photographer with the Brandon Sun, he
also loves the art of photography, and
when he’s not toting his high-end Canons
for work, he’s a fan of the unobtrusive
form factor of a smartphone camera.
There are advantages and disadvantages
to a smartphone camera. It’s small,
meaning you can easily take it with you
wherever you go, but its lens is also small,
meaning it may not be great at capturing
low-light or fast-action shots.
In his class, Colin addressed some ways
to make the most of the smartphone
camera’s abilities, while minimizing
its shortcomings.
But while he knows how to deal with
the challenges of a smartphone camera,

dealing with the challenge of teaching a
class was new.
“I found it really hard!” he laughs. “It’s
nothing inherent in teaching, but it was
challenging to reverse-engineer (what
I do) for someone new. Teaching forces
you to stop and think about it.”
Photography has become such second
nature to him, he says it was as if he had
been asked to teach a class in walking.
But once he came up with a three-part
structure to the three-hour class, he
says everything came into place.
“It was perfect,” he said. “It worked out
well with the time frame we had, and
it helps break it down into manageable
chunks.”
For the first hour, Colin said, he led
students through some of the pros and
cons of shooting with a smartphone,
and he explored some of the different
built-in tools or downloadable apps that
can help take a photo to the next level
In the second hour, he and the students
took a mini-recess, wandering around
the ACC Victoria Avenue East campus
and putting some of the lessons
learned into practice.
Then, in the third and final hour, they
returned to the classroom for a group
sharing session of the images they’d
photographed, with Colin available to
offer tips on how to further improve
the pictures.
Above left: Clip-on lenses aren’t required, but can help you
get unusual effects or ultra-closeups.
Above right: Who needs a smartphone? Many photography
lessons apply just as much to film cameras.
WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE
TAKE BETTER PHOTOS
1. Get closer — The zoom on your smartphone is just not very good. If you
want to capture expressions and reaction, you need to physically get up
close to your subject.
2. Take more — You’re not spending any money on film or developing, so
feel free to experiment and learn what works and what doesn’t. Try taking
five, six or a dozen different angles. Snap multiple shots so you can ensure
that everyone’s eyes are open.
3. Stay in the light — Although they’re always improving, most
smartphones’ tiny lenses and sensors just can’t capture enough light for
evening or night-time shots. You’ll have much better luck in daylight or a
well-lit interior.
4. Don’t forget to edit — Photographers no longer have to spend hours in
the darkroom, but you can still bring out the best of your photos with a
little bit of work afterwards. Most camera apps come with a few basic filters;
download new apps to uncover all kinds of other powerful settings.
5. Now put it down — It’s easy to develop tunnel vision and to get lost in your
screen, so don’t forget to enjoy the moment as well. Put your phone away for a
little while and look around.After all, that’s how you’ll spot the next
great photo!

Colin noted that breaking the class into
thirds mirrors the famous photography
“rule of thirds” for getting more visually
interesting photos.
One student, Lani, focused on flower
closeups with her smartphone camera.
She agreed to share her photo with us
— we featured it to start the article.
Colin says it’s got good colour and
composition, and is “quite lovely and
well done.”
Not only did she make use of an add-
on lens adapter, Colin says, “she used
the rule of thirds to make for a more
dynamic composition and lead your
eye through the frame on a ‘path.’”
She also got right up close to her
subject — easier, perhaps, with a flower
than a person — because smartphone
cameras don’t have a real zoom.
All told, Colin says, it’s student success
like this that make becoming an
instructor such a rewarding choice.
“I would recommend it for a couple
of reasons,” he says. “The first is that
it helps you focus on what you know.
You can deepen and reinforce your own
knowledge.
“The second is that it’s good to give
back … you never know, you may spark
someone’s new hobby, new career.
They obviously care enough to take the
course. It’s really cool to think about
that, you could spark a catalyst in
someone else’s life.”
Colin’s going to keep sharing his
skills. He taught other courses over
the summer, including one on Street/
Candid Photography, a particular
passion of his.
In fact, we’re running that one again,
too, on Sept. 3.
It’s more than just a photo course — it
includes an excursion to the downtown
Cruise Night, where there’s so much
going on that everyone will be sure
to find plenty of interesting photo
subjects.
So now it’s your turn! What courses
would you like to teach? We’re
currently looking for instructors
to teach Baking, Guitar and Power
Engineering, but if you have a skill that
you’d like to pass on to others, give us a
call! 204-725-8725.

OUR BRAND
NEW
COMPUTER
SIMULATORS
CAN HELP
YOU BUILD
YOUR CAREER –
ANYWHERE
by Grant Hamilton
Looking for a new job? You
might start by turning to
your computer and Googling
the want ads. But now a
computer can also train you in
a completely new skill: a skill
that can get you hired.
A suite of brand-new computer
simulators at Assiniboine Community
College is ready to turn out trained heavy
equipment operators – people needed
for work in the lucrative and growing
construction industry.
The mobile lab will teach students
the fundamentals of operating heavy
equipment like bulldozers and excavators,
building the skills that you need to get to
work effectively right from the start.
“Simulators allow you to get a real-
world feeling for the equipment without
causing damage, wear-and-tear or fuel
costs to an employer,” says Gerald
Cathcart, ACC’s business development
coordinator.
NEED TO KNOW
WHAT YOU
The majority of the work in this
trade is outdoors. It is important that
people entering the trade have strong
mechanical aptitude, communication
skills, mathematical ability, excellent
visual and depth perception and
a high degree of hand-foot-eye
coordination. The operation of
some heavy equipment is physically
demanding as is the handling of
accessories associated with the
worksite operations.
Heavy equipment operators are well-
compensated and in-demand — both
in Manitoba and throughout Canada.
You’ll graduate with a Certificate of
Achievement from ACC, recognized
by employers. Students in many of
our programs find continuing work
directly from their practicum.

“They’re fully mobile – we can pack
them up in boxes like a concert roadie
– and we can take them anywhere.”
The $140,000 new simulators are
loaded on top-of-the-line Alienware
laptops, kitted out with huge external
monitors and specially designed replica
controls that perfectly mimic the
machines you’ll train on.
We sat Brandon–Souris MP Larry
Maguire down for a hands-on
demonstration earlier this year. Not
only did he take to it like a natural
(must be his farm background), he left
impressed.
“This is a real-life simulator,” he said.
“Even when you move the bucket up
and down, it bounces off the deck like
real life. It’s an excellent simulation!”
Of course, simulation can only get you
so far. That’s why our courses also have
real-world experience built in, to make
sure you’re ready for the demands of
industry.
“We’re going to teach you safety, a
little bit about surveying and soils,
basic maintenance and operations,”
Cathcart says. “We’re going to spend
a lot of time on the simulator and
then we’re also going to put you in
the field, in a local gravel pit, with a
piece of equipment and an experienced
instructor.”
Complete an employer practicum as
well, and you could graduate with a
Certificate of Achievement from ACC,
recognized by employers.

As this course guide went to press, we
were preparing to launch our very first
training program using the simulators.
But that’s not all.
“One of the really exciting things
about these simulators is that they’re
designed to travel,” says Cathcart.
“They’re fully mobile – we can pack
them up in boxes like a concert roadie
– and we can take them anywhere.”
This means that ACC can come to you,
and do heavy equipment training in
your community.
“There’s a need for heavy equipment
operators, there’s a need to upgrade
the skills of operators who are already
in the industry and there’s a need to
take this training to rural and remote
communities — and being mobile, we
can do that.”

online at assiniboinet.net/heo or

204-725-8700, ext. 6049.
EQUIPMENT
OUR
We have 20 simulators, four each of excavators, bulldozers, wheeled
loaders, heavy trucks and forklifts.
The hardware includes Alienware laptops and large flat-screen monitors,
along with custom-built joysticks and foot controls that mimic what is
found on an actual piece of heavy equipment.
They’re designed to clamp on to any table, meaning the simulators can
be set up just about anywhere.
When it comes to the software, provided by Canadian company Simlog,
you’ll train in a fully three-dimensional simulated environment that
looks like a worksite. The photos on these pages are actual screengrabs
from the program you’ll be using.
Each machine has a number of different levels, and you’ll have to master
one technique before tackling the next. Your instructors will be able to
track your progress through each level — including the number of times
you hit reset — and guide you through the simulation.
That ensures you’re ready and able when it’s time to get behind the
wheel of the real thing.

THIRST QUENCHER:
Except where noted,
these courses are held at the
Manitoba Institute of Culinary Arts
ACC North Hill Campus
1035 First Street North

A can of Foster’s and a Vegemite
sandwich? Australian cuisine is so
much more than that.
Chef Ben Hernandez says that the land
Down Under is filled with interesting,
quirky tastes, and he’s looking forward
to exploring them in his latest
demonstration course, “A Taste
of Australia.”
“I’m a big fan of Australian food,”
he says. “I like to experience all the
different types of protein they have.”
While he’s still planning the final slate
of recipes, he says that lamb and
seafood will likely have prime spots on
the evening’s menu.
What about kangaroo? Ben laughs.
“I would like to use kangaroo,” he says,
“but it might be a little on the pricey side.”
It’s also a special-order meat that’s not
commonly available, something he
tries to avoid in courses that are geared
towards introducing people to new things
that they can then try for themselves.
“I like to do something simple, that you
can do at home,” he says. “So that you
don’t have to go out, make a special
trip to Winnipeg.”
Like the other “Taste of…” courses that
Ben has run (he’s in his third year of
hosting them through ACC), the “Taste
of Australia” course will feature a full
meal that he prepares and serves in
front of students.
While Ben says that he does do some
prep work ahead of time, especially for
dishes that take a longer amount of
time to cook, or are more tedious to
assemble, he’ll go through all the steps
needed to take the raw ingredients and
turn them into a finished dish.
Students in the class also get a recipe
packet to take home so that they can
recreate the meal themselves.
That, of course, goes along with the live
demonstration of everything that Ben
is making, as he makes it, along with
running commentary that can teach
students some of the techniques used
by a professional chef.
And once the food is made, it’s served,
fresh from the kitchen to your plate.
Yes, students get to eat the classwork.
Ben says he likes to do about four
courses to the meal, generally soup,
salad, a main course and dessert.
There are also wine pairings through
the evening, although Ben says that
there’s one aspect of Australian culture
that might prompt a change to the
normal wine pairings,
“The beer thing is really big!” he says.
“Beer could be one of the pairings.”
Along with beer, lamb and seafood
(maybe throw a shrimp on the barbie?),
Ben says he’s looking at a coconut
component, possibly for dessert.
“I like food,” he says, “and I think
Australia, a lot of people haven’t had.”
A TASTE OF
AUSTRALIA
SIGN UP NOW!ATaste of Australia is scheduled for
Wednesday night, Oct. 14, from 6:30–8:30
p.m. at the Manitoba Institute of Culinary Arts.
Among the spacious grounds and historic
buildings of the ACC North Hill campus, the
course will be taught in the Manitoba Canola
Growers Culinary Theatre — which features
sloped seating so that everyone can see what
Chef Ben Hernandez is doing.
As a demonstration course, you’ll watch as
Ben shows off all the steps to prepare Aussie
cuisine right in front of you. Then, as he plates
each dish, you’ll get to sample every creation.
Of course, what meal would be complete
without a wine pairing?
Ben says that Australia is rightly known for
its vinyards.
“There’s so much wine from Australia, it will
definitely help the tenor of the dinner.”

SPARKING A BRIGHTER FUTURE!
One woman’s story of achieving her goal of becoming aWelder.
Over twenty years ago,Wanda Pfeil of Middle Lake was at a junction in her life. She had entered the Cosmetology
field following high school and soon realized that Cosmetology was not a career for her. She knew she needed
a change.
Afterexploringheroptions,shedecidedtopursueweldingasacareerandstartedlookingfortraining. “Relocating
to a different city was not an option for me so I inquired at Carlton Trail College”, said Wanda. “The advisors an-
swered my questions and together we came up with a plan so that I could achieve my goal of becoming a welder.”
In 1994, Wanda enrolled in the SIAST Pre-employment Welding Program offered at the College. This program,
now known as the Saskatchewan PolytechnicWelding Applied Certificate Program, gave her the skills she needed
to obtain work as a welder.The hours spent in this program counted towards her first year journeyperson status,
plus, she was able to live at home while taking the program. Upon completion of the program, Wanda entered
the workforce as a welder.
Over the years,Wanda continued to hone her welding skills. In 2011Wanda went back to CarltonTrail and com-
pletedtheWeldingTerminologyCourseandtheJourneypersonUpgraderProgram. Shethenwentontochallenge
the Red SealWelding exam, earning her Red Seal Certification.
“This was my latest and greatest achievement,”she said. “I am not just a welder. I am a Red Seal CertifiedWelder.
This status is recognized across Canada. It gives me the power to make career choices, have more financial inde-
pendence and the knowledge and training to do the job well.”
Overtheyears,WandahasworkedasawelderatDoepkerIndustriesinAnnaheimandBayTrailSteelinHumboldt.
Presently,Wanda works at Bourgault Industries in St. Brieux. “Welding isn’t just a job for me, it’s a career… and
I enjoy it,”smiledWanda.
Wanda attributes much of her success in achieving her goal of becoming a welder to the staff and instructors at
Carlton Trail College. “Returning to school was not easy, but the staff at the College did whatever they could to
make it easier for me….and the instructors…Wow! The experience and the stories they shared made my classes
interesting, and, for me, that meant successful learning,”saidWanda. “If you have the drive, CarltonTrail College
has everything else.”
Carlton Trail College continues to offer a wide variety of programs and courses in welding including the Welding
Applied Certificate Program, the Welding Journeyperson Upgrader Program, Welding Terminology, Pressure Pipe
Welding,TIGWelding and GeneralWelding. Contact 1.800.667.2623 for more information.

labyrinth, the combination of movement and introspection
is used as a form of guided meditation, allowing you
to gain peace and engage in mystery for personal and
spiritual renewal. Labyrinths can provide a unique way to
gain renewed vitality and meaning. Experience relief from
the stressors of daily life and solve problems using this
mindful technique. Instructor: J. Robertson.

High-Impact Business Writing
Increasingly, clear, concise, and compelling
business writing is a business necessity—a skill
that enables us to get our ideas across, stand
out in the crowd, and ultimately be more
effective in all our business communications
While improving our writing is an ongoing
process, we can make major strides forward
quickly by learning—and adopting—five
key strategies of successful business writers
In this highly interactive, hands-on, half-
day workshop veteran business writer David
Meuel will describe these strategies and take
participants through fun, illuminating exercises
to better understand how they can dramatically
strengthen any piece of business writing from
reports and evaluations to emails and blogs
