Selkirk College research team connecting with community SUBMITTED

One of a team of 20 student research assistants at Selkirk College’s applied research and innovation centre in Castlegar, Kayla Tillapaugh is working on a project for Kootenay Rockies Tourism to assess the effectiveness of current wayfinding and signage in the region.

The assignment is the latest for the 22-year-old who is also currently working on the economic pandemic and disaster resiliency project and helped put together both the State of the Basin 2019 snapshot report and the 2019 TeckServ housing report.

“This particular position as a research assistant has provided me more learning opportunities than I originally imagined,” says Tillapaugh, who graduated from the integrated environmental planning program in 2019. “A lot of what we do is academic, so when I go back to university to complete my degree I will be completely up to date on my writing skills, my research skills and my analysis skills. This is what we do on a daily basis here, it’s very academic and educational.”

Looking to enhance the visitor experience in the region, Kootenay Rockies Tourism has tasked the student researchers to provide a detailed assessment of the current state of signage and information. In preparation for a roadtrip through the Central Kootenay, Tillapaugh and her research partner prepared a literature review based on 14 different studies across Canada.

They have put together a route through the region to document the ease of tourist wayfinding from community to community and attraction to attraction. The pair will travel separately to assess more than a

Selkirk College student research assistant Kayla Tillapaugh is a graduate of the integrated environmental planning program. Photo submitted dozen signage attributes including: physical condition, clarity, placement, quality, graphic layout, consistency, safety and overall impression.

Once they have completed data collection in the field, the research assistants will prepare a report and maps for Kootenay Rockies Tourism with the overall goal of enhancing the experience of those who visit the region.

“I have field experience under my belt previously from the Integrated Environmental Planning Program and now the complete opposite side of the spectrum with the experience in the office doing report writing and research,” says Tillapaugh. “I’m glad to have gained experience in both areas and that will help with my future career path.”

Vital research in co-operation with community By establishing a solid reputation as a leader in rural post-secondary research, Selkirk College has bolstered opportunities for students, graduates and faculty at the applied

research and innovation centre.

Located adjacent to the Castlegar airport, the centre works with community and industry partners to bring a wide array of research projects to life. From housing need studies to creating community plans for disaster and pandemic response to supporting policy direction on food systems and food supply chains, researchers are helping provide essential insight into industry, business, social services and local government.

Evidence of success can be seen with a recent grant of $225,000 from Mitacs and local partners. A not-forprofit organization, Mitacs fosters growth and innovation in Canada. Under the supervision of researcher and faculty member Dr. Adela Kincaid, Selkirk College was one of the first colleges in British Columbia to receive funding from Mitacs.

The grant equates to 15 projects that are carried out by connecting community partners who identify local research needs with a faculty supervisor and highly motivated students.

Distinctive label made KC Brand jam stand out

by JONATHAN KALMAKOFF

Fourth in a series on the Doukhobor jam industry The Kootenay-Columbia Preserving Works adopted several brand names to identify its food products and distinguish them from those of other sellers. It also developed logos to graphically represent these brands on its packaging, advertising and correspondence.

K.C. Brand was the name used to brand its pure jam and pure canned fruit and vegetables. Coined by manager John W. Sherbinin in April 1911, it was an acronym of the company name. The brand came to be associated throughout Western Canada with purity, excellence, fine quality and splendid taste.

Its logo originally consisted of the letters “K.C.” crossed by a band bearing the words “Brand. Trade Mark Registered”; after 1915, the band and words appeared below the letters “K.C.” The logo was registered as a trademark by president Peter V. Verigin with the Canadian Patent Office on March 4, 1912.

Originally, the Kootenay-Columbia Preserving Works sold

Between 1911 and 1915, the Kootenay-Columbia Preserving Works filled its products in glass jars and tin cans sourced from Toronto suppliers. This proved to be problematic, however, as delays in the shipping of containers caused tempo-

rary shutdowns of factory production, as was the case in July 1913. From 1916 on, cans were used exclusively, which were self-manufactured at the company’s tin can manufacturing plant at Brilliant.

Jars and tins were placed in wooden cases, originally sourced from the Kootenay Wire Works of Nelson, for shipment. After 1915, wooden cases were self-manufactured at the CCUB box factory in Kamennoye, across the Kootenay River from Brilliant and after 1921, at the box factory in the Grand Forks fruit packing house. By 1928, cardboard boxes were also used for packing tins.

• Jars and bottles: Straight-sided, narrow-mouth 14 ounce glass jars and 17 ounce (sometimes called one pound) glass bottles with tin screw lids were used to pack jam/jelly/fruit between 1911 and 1915. Retail stocks of the jars and bottles remained available as late as 1919.

• Cans and pails: Sealed, lidless tin cans (28 ounce from 1911 to 1928, 2.5 pound from 1928 to 1939) were used to pack canned fruit and vegetables. The cans were automatically sealed without solder or acid. A can-opener was required to open the single-use containers.

Self-sealing tins with presson, reusable tin lids of various sizes were used to pack jam and jelly. The four pound tins

were the standard, common size used throughout 1911 to 1939. Other, less common sizes included the two pound (191114), 3.5-pound (1928-39), five pound (1911-18) and seven pound (1911-14) tins.

• Cases: Wooden cases that held 12 four pound cans or two dozen 28 ounce cans were used for shipping from 1911 through 1939. By 1928, cardboard cases that held 12 four pound cans or two dozen 2.5-ounce cans were also used.

Cases were stamped along their width with the product logo, jam variety and number and size of cans; and on their length with the company name and facility location.

The K.C. Brand Jam Label Undoubtedly, the defining feature of K.C. Brand jam — besides its taste — was its iconic label. Introduced in July 1911, it not only designated contents, it was a commercial work of art in its own right. Simple, attractive and familiar, it helped make the brand one of Western Canada’s most widely recognized food products throughout the 1910s, ’20s and ’30s.

It was printed by Grant and Sons Ltd. of Vancouver from 1911 to at least 1914, and by Harris Lithographing Co. Ltd. of Toronto after 1921.

The front label had a striking navy background with a large red “K.C.” logo at top centre. Printed in white upper-case script below was the Continued on A5

The logo, band and label were outlined in gold. Decorative gold leafing adorned the bottom and sides. The label was overlaid on a blank red background for added contrast and effect.

Vehicle and boat severely vandalized near Burton

by CONNOR TREMBLEY

A family is pleading for answers after their Jeep and boat trailer were severely damaged while they were out boating near Burton on May 5.

According to a social media post by Catherine Bischke, the incident happened when

her husband and six-year-old son launched their boat from McCormack Road in Burton around 2:30 p.m.

After they arrived back at the boat launch around 6:30 p.m., Bischke discovered someone had smashed their Jeep’s back windows, keyed its front windows, smashed

out all its mirrors and lights, and loosened its brake lines.

Bischke said her family could’ve been seriously injured if they didn’t notice the brake lines immediately, particularly since they would’ve been unable to brake properly by the time they were driving on the highway.

Bischke said she’s angered over the accident.

“This is a family vehicle, that our six year old rides in. I’m so sick over the fact that someone could be this awful,” said Bischke.

“We are very hopeful that someone somewhere has information that can lead

to the arrest of the person responsible for this horrible act.”

RCMP said no charges have been laid in the incident.

“While this is a big step for the Balfour and District Business and Historic Association, we are convinced the small chapel can be economically sustainable with community support while retaining its historic value to Balfour and the Outlet district,” the association said.

It feels the chapel could be a vibrant part of the growing number of small entertainment venues offered year-round in the region, like Kaslo’s Langham Cultural Centre, the Silverton Gallery and a host of other inti-

We’re In This Together Photograph by Charles Zuckermann for Humans of Support

The Balfour and District Business and Historic Association has acquired the St. Michael’s and All Angels’ Church. The purchase of this historic church is conditional upon future financing, for which the Diocese of Kootenay, Anglican Church of Canada, has granted a one year term to complete.

Located in the heart of the old Balfour townsite, the site chosen for St. Michael’s was selected by the first Bishop of New Westminster, the Right Rev. Acton W. Sillitoe in 1892 and the first service held in the new church was on Dec. 26 of that year. The little church is not only one of the oldest in the Kootenays, but one of the oldest wood frame structures still in use between Nelson and Kaslo.

The quaint building, with its steeple and the distinctive circular, stained-glass window above the entranceway, has stood quietly as the backdrop for many local events over the years. It has always been a community church. It was a place of lodging for the Ktunaxa people when they were in the area during annual fishing trips. It withstood the record flood of 1894, when water was said to be lapping at the foot of the church steps.

The first wedding in the church took place in 1910, uniting the Balfour couple Eveline Hobson and Arthur Hazeldene Noakes. Two years later, Longbeach residents Winifred Goodwin and Commander Burrard Smith were also married there.

During the time when the CPR hotel at Balfour was used as a military sanatorium from 1917 to 1921, the church’s vicar was on hand to aid the invalid soldiers. Years later, when the Anglican churches in Procter and Longbeach were closed, some of their furnishings and their Rolls of Honour were brought here.

One touching piece transferred from the Longbeach church is an intricately carved First World War baptismal font in memory of Longbeach resident Capt. Lenox McClure John, 3rd Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment, who died in France on Sept. 24, 1916. St. Michael’s has never wavered from welcoming all to its doors; doors that, throughout its 128year existence, have never been locked. The last Anglican service in the church was on Dec. 24, 2019.
