History

Brilliant jam factory offered many products

By JONATHAN KALMAKOFF

Third in a series on the Doukhobor jam industry Production at the Kootenay-Columbia Preserving Works closely followed the growing and picking season for berries, fruit and vegetables in the British Columbia Interior, with jam production and fruit canning often occurring the same day of receipt of fresh-picked produce at the packing house to avoid deterioration or spoilage and to ensure maximum quality.

The production season commenced in July, with the arrival of strawberries until mid-month, followed within days by raspberries, cherries and other small fruit through to the first week in August. Beginning in mid-August, apples and plums arrived, followed by other large fruit through to the last week of September. Tomatoes and other vegetables were the last to arrive by early October. By mid-October, the production season was complete. The factory operated an average of 26 days per season. Each production day began at five a.m. and ended at midnight.

jam using an open kettle method according to the old English recipe introduced by Harry Beach in 1911.

Only pure fruit of the highest quality and granulated sugar cane were used.

There were no preservatives, coloring or other additives. Cleanliness and sanitation during production was strictly supervised.

Preserving and canning process Fruit was brought from the packing house to the preserving floor, where The Kootenay-Columbia Pre- it was cleaned and prepared (peeled, serving Works manufactured pure de-cored or de-stoned, as the case

may be, then cut into pieces and/or crushed). This was originally done manually by six workers; however, by 1928, much of it was done with mechanized pitters, sieves and other automated equipment operated by one worker.

Equal portions of fruit pulp and sugar were put into each of the large copper jam-making kettles and mixed together with ladles. The kettles were then fired by steam heat supplied from the boiler and the mixture was

cooked for 15 minutes. As it cooked, it was continually stirred by an attendant.

After the jam was cooked, the attendant flipped each kettle over (kettles were built on stands with hinges that allowed them to be flipped to empty) and the jam was poured into smaller copper pots that were placed on wheeled ‘turtles’. The small pots were then wheeled over to long cooling trays filled with cold water, in which they were placed. As the temperature

of the jam was reduced, it received its final skimming.

The cooled jam was then taken to tables where it was ladled by hand into sterilized cans. A sheet of antibacterial gauze was placed over the top of the jam in each can and then automatically sealed with the lid.

The same process was followed for making pure jelly, except that pure fruit juice was used instead of fruit pulp, resulting in a smoother, clearer spread than the thick, fruit-filled jam. Mixed or compound jam, which had a higher sugar-to-fruit ratio, was made by blending pure jam with apple jelly; after 1932, colour was added to it.

To make pure canned fruits and vegetables, cleaned and prepared produce was blanched in the large copper kettles filled with boiling water, then plunged into the smaller copper pots filled with cold water, then finally poured into sterilized cans topped with heavy syrup (for fruit) or water (for vegetables).

The cans of finished product were then moved to the labelling room on the lower floor of the facility by lift, where labels were manually affixed on each can designating its contents.

The cans were then placed in cases Continued on A3

While comprehensive financial records for the Kootenay-Columbia Preserving Works are unavailable, cost and revenue information for the years 1913 and 1919 provide a glimpse into the profitability of the enterprise.

According to the British Columbia Royal Commission on Agriculture, in June 1913, the company produced 12,000 pounds of jam and 9,000 pounds of canned fruit per day at a cost of $2,500 or 8.4 cents per pound. This cost excluded build-

ings but presumably included the input costs of purchased fruit and sugar, freight to factory, labels and packages.

In the same period, the company sold its jam at a wholesale rate of 10 cents per pound, which would have yielded a gross profit of 1.6 cents per pound or 16 per cent.

However, if post-production costs and miscellaneous expenditures were taken into account, the net profit would have been substantially less.

Based on its financial statement for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1919, the Kootenay-Columbia

Preserving Works recorded sales of $163,922.99 and stock on hand (jams, labels and packages) valued at $27,091.49 for a total of $191,014.48 in revenue. It also recorded input costs (purchased fruit and sugar, freight and duty, labels and packages) of $155,195.13 and miscellaneous expenditures (interest, insurance, office supplies, postage, license and inspection fees, fuel, repairs, rents, commissions, etc.) of $29,477.40 for a total of $184,672.53 in losses. The net profit (total revenue less total cost) was $6,341.00 or 3.3 per cent.

Selkirk College Saints hand out season-ending awards SUBMITTED

The Selkirk College Saints put the official wraps on the 2019-20 British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) season at the team’s annual awards evening using tools that have become a symbol for current times.

Gathering in their homes and connected using Zoom videoconferencing, players and coaches recognized outstanding contributions in a hockey season that came to a screeching halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Obviously it’s not the way we could have ever imagined a season ending,” says Saints’ head coach Dave Hnatiuk.

“Though we may not want to remember how the season was snatched away from us as we prepared for the first game of the playoffs, it was important to highlight all the commitment and passion these players provided the program over the course of six months. We had some outstanding individual efforts both on the ice and off. It was nice to gather together as a group, even if it was via our computer screens.”

Team awards for play on the ice included: most valuable player Jaiden Laporte, top scorer Dylan Heppler, rookie of the year and defenceman of the year Tristen Cross, unsung

Winner was Percival.

• PE Development Award: Presented to a student who demonstrates practical work with community agencies in sport or recreation. Winners were Edward Lindsey and Kramer.

• Mal Stelck Award: Presented to a student athlete and member of the Saints hockey team who has first and foremost demonstrated exemplary leadership as a representative of the college and community. Winners were Cross and Percival.

The Saints finished fourth in the BCIHL standings and were in Langley on March 12 preparing to start the first round of the playoffs against the Trinity Western University Spartans when they received news that all games were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like sports leagues at all levels, the BCIHL season was canceled without awarding a champion.

Saints coaching staff are now in the process of signing commitments for the 2020-21 season as they replace those players lost to graduation that include Kramer, Lindsey, Wakaruk, Heppler, Kadrian Klimchuk and Devin Nemes. The Saints training camp is scheduled to open at the end of August and will be contingent upon guidelines associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

An urgent message to the Government of Canada from the publishers of Canada’s major newspapers

Around the world, governments are moving to correct an historical inequality that dates back to the birth of digital media platforms.

John Boynton Publisher

James C. Irving, Vice President

In April 2020 alone, Australia and France both announced plans to make sure Google and Facebook pay their fair share, instead of exploiting tax loopholes while making billions of dollars off

Andrew MacLeod CEO

the back of original content producers.

We, the undersigned publishers representing the vast majority of Canadian newspapers, call on Ottawa to follow the example

Bob Cox Publisher

of France and Australia.

The situation is urgent, with media companies suffering huge advertising revenue declines because of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Jonathon J.L. Kennedy President and CEO

Other governments recognize the need for speedy intervention.

Both France and Australia have set deadlines to have mandatory solutions in place by July. That means paying for copyrighted content and sharing the advertising dollars and data that flow from it.

Brian Myles CEO

We encourage the Federal Government to follow the advice of its own expert panel set up to review the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Acts, which recommended similar measures.

The model exists. The need is clear. Let’s apply those principles

Phillip Crawley Publisher and CEO

of fairness in Canada, and do it now.

Respectfully,

Pierre-Elliott Levasseur President

Signature Here Rick O’Connor President and CEO

Lyne Robitaille Senior VP, Newspapers, Magazines, Distribution & Printing, Quebecor President and Publisher
