Dairy centre unveils new student digs

Lorene Keitch THE OBSERVER

On a hay bale podium, dignitaries officially opened the new student housing at the UBC Dairy Education and Research Centre last week. The event was filled with good wishes for the centre and congratulations to all the people and organizations who helped make this longstanding dream a reality. Dr.

Jim Thompson, director of the UBC Dairy Education and Research Centre, kicked it off with a telling remark about the care that students and staff have for the animals under their watch. "We've looked after the animals," says Thompson. "Now, it's nice to look after our students." Thompson spoke of the connection between the UBC centre and the dairy

industry, stating it is very fortunate to have an industry that supports the centre, something quite unique in comparison to many other scientific groups. Representing the BC Dairy Association, local dairy farmer Holger Schwichtenberg complimented the UBC research centre staff for building up relationships with the local dairy industry,

so when they came with a big ask of the industry for support, there was buy-in. "I'm proud and honoured the industry in the Fraser Valley and British Columbia are part of this," said Schwichtenberg. District of Kent Coun. Duane Post said with the District's "strong dairy industry, much of what happens here directly benefits dairy farmers."

Post shared that the District was proud to partner with an organization such as UBC and applauded their open-door policy from participating in events such as the slow food cycle tours to having various seminars open to the public and educational initiatives. "We're thrilled to see the new student residences completed," Post concluded. Continued on 3

GETTING A ‘KICK’ OUT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE 2015 is proving to be an excellent year for tourism in Harrison Hot Springs – most certainly from the resorts perspective. The decline in value of the Canadian versus the American dollar is playing a significant role in driving traffic to our destination. Canadians are staying home as they find it too expensive to cross the border and Americans are realising the terrific value their dollar has here. These things are cyclical. While it won’t last forever, we have a terrific opportunity to show off and remind the return visitor why they chose us and to the new visitor – provide reasons to come back. We need to show all visitors that Harrison is a warm and welcoming place. We may not be the fanciest resort community but we offer an easily accessible, safe and secure environment in a stunning setting on a magnificent lake. And we also have good people. The sun and wine of the Okanagan, destination resorts like Whistler, the history of Victoria, and the majesty of Banff – they all have a lot to offer and a global appeal. While we cannot compete with these destinations and their built or natural assets - we can compete with something we do have – our people. On a recent trip to Scotland – after enjoying some of the fabulous golf, there was an opportunity to tour castles, historic and charming towns and villages and stunningly dramatic natural backdrops such as is found on the Isle of Skye. What was my take away from this trip, what are the strongest memories - it was the people we met. Malcolm at North Berwick Golf Club with a warm welcome at the front door - advising us we were ‘members for the day’. He instructed us to enjoy the clubhouse facilities and make ourselves at home. The retired shepherds we met at the sheepdog trials – happy to share some of

their wonderful stories and curious about us, our hosts at the b and b’s and farms we stayed at, maybe even the odd pub...it was the people who made this trip. So what do we do to make a difference, what can we control? We are in the service business and very frankly – you either have it or you don’t. People can be taught to operate computers, clean a guestroom or serve a meal but they can’t be taught to smile, tell a story, and engage the visitor. Some people get a ‘kick’ out of ensuring that others are taken care of – what I call the service ethic. Short of embarking on a customer service training program - we can be remembered by being ourselves, by opening up a little bit to our guest whether they are from Richmond, Bellingham or Frankfurt. For the business owner, if you don’t have it – know enough to hire people who do. Create a working environment that stimulates engagement with the visitor. Hire people who aren’t afraid to ask questions or offer answers that tell them a little bit about themselves. It’s not simply about getting the order and running it to the kitchen. It’s about making the travelers experience memorable and getting a kick out of doing so. It is not what we can’t do to look after the visitor – it’s what we can. Ian Maw, Director of Sales & Marketing Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa

SAVE THE DATE The 2016 Business Excellence Awards, will take place on Saturday, February 20th, 2016 at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa. Details to come.

Student accommodations open at dairy centre "We wish you all the best with your research projects and furthering education for all." The unique 32-bed facility is situated on the campus grounds right by the dairy barns and features eight 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom units. John Metras, UBC’s managing director of infrastructure development, says of all of UBC's student housing, “This is probably one of the most spectacular residences in our whole housing portfolio." The new building replaces student residences that have outlived their time, with one building dating back more than 100 years and the other built in

1924 plus a circa 1970’s mobile home. Two students spoke on the podium, affirming that the old homes will not be missed for their tight quarters and overlyshared bathrooms, though they will miss the memories made by their peers and countless students before them. UBC grad student Tracy Burnett says for a “city kid” like her, onsite student housing is so important because it allows her to be “immersed in the dairy industry.” The students have a chance to bounce ideas off of researchers from all over the world who come to the facility and to work in close proximity with other students and the animals 24/7.

Public help sought in Wood Lake fire investigation The Conservation Officer Service is asking for the public’s help in the investigation of the Wood Lake wildfire near Harrison Hot Springs in August. The fire, which broke out on Sunday, Aug. 2, 2015, approximately 20 kilometres north of Harrison Hot Springs, grew to more than 1,300 hectares in size.

Investigators believe the fire is human-caused, and are asking anyone with information to come forward. Due to the high number of out-of-town visitors to the resort community over the B.C. Day long weekend, investigators hope someone may have witnessed an important detail. The COS encourages

Opinion

The numbers game

Published by Black Press Limited. 7167 Pioneer Ave., Agassiz BC V0M 1A0

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Will you vote for the same federal party you voted for last election?

Every politician and would-be MP or MLA knows, or at least they should, that polling numbers don’t translate into seats. Polling figures from Nanos Research released this week show the governing Conservatives, Opposition NDP and the Liberals in a virtual dead heat among decided voters, with support ranging between 29 and 31 per cent. But even if that was the last poll conducted before election day, it wouldn’t necessarily mean Parliament would split exactly down those lines. There is always a huge glut of people who are undecided up until the late stages of a campaign – some estimates put it as high as 25 per cent. In a close election race, the number of people who make up their mind just before heading to the polling station is likely far more than politicians or parties would care to see. It would be interesting to know how many people use polling figures to help them cast their vote. Our guess would be very few. Public media companies have for years commissioned research firms to give them the latest figures, which often get trotted out on front pages and websites as the top story for that day. We believe in the credibility and veracity of such polls, given their size and the commitment to accuracy made by the major media – CTV and The Globe and Mail hired Nanos for the above poll. Unfortunately, releasing polling data has become a public relations ploy, especially with all the parties commissioning their own polls at various times. One firm hired by the NDP came back with numbers last week that said Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was trailing an opponent by 11 points in his own riding. A poll conducted for a national media company with a far larger sample size and different methodology found Trudeau to actually be leading by five points. Political parties hire pollsters to come up with numbers they feel will help them. Without a doubt, if the numbers don’t flatter them, they don’t publicize them. While stats heads might find the pre-election numbers interesting, the only ones that count are on election day. So what do we take from this? Voters can do their homework on local candidates and leave the polls for the parties to play around with. ~ Black Press

Do balanced budgets really matter?

B.C. VIEWS

Tom Fletcher The federal election campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and whether it even matters. The definitive word on this came out last week, with the release of the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report, signed off by Auditor General Michael Ferguson. “The government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-14,” the report says. “Revenues increased by $10.7 billion, or 3.9 per cent, from 201314, reflecting increases across all major revenue streams. Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion,

reflecting increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part by a decrease in direct program expenses.” The Conservative government’s pre-election budget calculated that last year was in deficit, and this year would be the first in the black since 2008. Ottawa pundits say this “surprise surplus” was engineered with intentionally pessimistic budget estimates, so Prime Minister Stephen Harper would get a boost right about now. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau claimed last year’s surplus was partly generated by cuts to Veterans’ Affairs and Aboriginal Affairs. Wrong and wrong. Veterans’ Affairs spending was up 13 per cent, and Aboriginal Affairs spending rose nearly 30 per cent. Trudeau has also insisted Canada is in recession now, which helps his suddenly adopted position that a Liberal government would run deficits for the next three years to build infrastructure.

Harper ran the biggest deficits in Canadian history after the 2009 crash, bailing out auto makers and building lots of “shovel ready”

infrastructure, as did the U.S. and other countries. The question raised by Trudeau’s plan is whether it’s a good idea to keep doing that without a financial crisis. France, for example, has run operating deficits every year since the early 1970s, although

the current Socialist government vows to balance the books by 2017. France’s operating debt is now equal to 91 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product. Canada’s net debt-to-GDP ratio is currently around 30 per cent, down from frightening levels in the 1990s before the Chrétien government finally balanced the budget. (Fun fact: then-finance minister Paul Martin not only cut transfers to provinces, unlike the current government, he inflicted the largest-ever cuts to the CBC. Harper’s CBC cuts were part of government-wide reductions, again due to that 2009 crisis.) NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s first-ever socialist government. He will spend the rest of the campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up. Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Minister Mike de Jong may have OFFICE HOURS Tues.-Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Closed Sat., Sun., & Mon.

benefited from Harper’s lowball budget. In his first quarter update last week, de Jong reported that his February budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus. This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budgeted. B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low. Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have. De Jong says that at the current pace, B.C. will pay off its accumulated operating debt by 2020. The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982. The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Mailbag Goodbye, and thank you by the riverbank. I’ve sampled basil and cucumber fresh from the Agassiz Community Garden. I’ve eaten the freshest, sweetest corn of my life picked from a local farm. As a perfect end to my time here, my last weekend was the Fall Fair. My jean bottoms might’ve been soggy but my heart was full as I ran into locals all over the fairgrounds, photographed the events, fairgoers and volunteers that make this wonderful event possible and celebrated all that is good in this corner of the country. But above all else, I have gotten to know even better the people of this beautiful part of the province. That is a gift I will take with me. So thank you. Thank you for opening your doors and answering your phones and responding to my emails to help me share your stories. I have loved meeting faces old and new and am grateful for my time here. So long, and thanks for the memories.

his town is lucky to have Changhwan Hwang and Sandie Cho. They are the co-owners of a brand new sushi joint that recently opened in downtown Agassiz. It’s Agassiz’ first sushi restaurant and the lineups prove in its short time here, Cheam Sushi is already a success. Cheam Sushi opened its doors to the public July 22 and has been filleting fish, rolling rice and deep frying gyoza for the hungry hordes since then. Coowner Sandie Cho says they are happy to offer fresh, healthy, homemade fare and are glad that locals are enjoying their food. “It’s not fast food. It’s healthy, it’s all homemade,” says Sandie Cho. Changhwan and his wife Yun Shin have been living in Agassiz for the past eight years since emigrating from Korea. They started talking about opening a restaurant locally because there was no sushi restaurant here. This year,

royal café E

verything is freshly made at the Royal Cafe

Weekends are always a little extra special at the Royal Cafe. Proudly run by Devika and Graydon Gillette for the past five years, the downtown family restaurant offers a fresh approach to making home-style food. “We sell a lot of prime rib on Friday nights served with our homemade sauce,” says owner Devika Gillette. What really sets them apart is that everything is made from scratch, including their delicious gravies made from roast drippings. “We never make gravy by tearing open a package. We make our food fresh, we’re not just reheating.”

they finally made the big jump into owning their own business with business partner Sandie Cho. The reviews have been positive so far, with people raving about the volcano roll (spicy scallops, tuna, avocado, crab meat, four kinds of homemade sauce and crunch on top), anything off the teriyaki menu and the specialty Korean dishes. The co-owners are especially pleased to offer the Korean dishes as they are all Korean. They recommend customers try the bibimbab, a popular Korean speciality dish. Cheam Sushi’s fish comes direct from Vancouver two times a week and they buy all their veggies from a local produce store. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

On Saturday nights, the house dinner special is St. Louis style ribs with a house-made barbecue sauce.

cooking at the café inside the Royal Hotel, there’s always the Dynamite Catering option.

“We really want to urge people to come and try us for supper some time.”

One of the tantalizing dishes she whips up is Chicken Cordon Bleu from scratch and barbecue chicken with a zesty glaze.

They get a solid crowd for lunch but some Chilliwackians don’t seem to venture downtown after dark. But she wants them to know it will be worth it. They put a strong emphasis on good customer service, high quality ingredients and a wide variety of menu items. They make all their own sauces and desserts, like fresh fruit pies, in-house as well. If you can’t get enough of Devika’s

“Our roast beef is so tender, we get lots of compliments when we present one for a catering crowd.” The Yorkshire pudding served with the roast beef is a big hit, too. Back in the restaurant, Devika’s signature dish is the Fiji Rice Bowl, a homemade curry simmered in coconut milk and served with steamed rice and naan bread. They offer the choice of chicken, salmon or prawns.

“Our customers just love our rice bowl.” They don’t mess with the menu too often because their regular customers appreciate the consistency and high quality dishes. Catering for larger groups is where she gets to be creative, making striking elements like a bassinet shape carved out of a watermelon. “I enjoy catering events,” she says, even cutting platters of dainty fruits and veggies into appealing shapes. It’s fun to make food beautiful. “You have to love what you’re doing, and we do!” See more at www.ddcatering.ca, or visit them at 45886 Wellington Ave. or call 604-392-9355.

he Agassiz Delicatessen is a staple of downtown Agassiz. This authentic deli features imported cheeses, meats from more than 20 vendors, fresh baked goods and a wide variety of lunch menu items.

“We have fantastic lunches,” shares Katrine deBrouwer, deli manager.“It’s down-to-earth, plain good lunches with wholesome food and great coffee.” Katrine shares that the best selling sandwich at the deli is definitely the schnitzel sandwich, a regular feature in the case made fresh on-site. Shepard’s pie, quiche and most of the soups come hot out of the back kitchen, while fresh muffins, sausage rolls, cinnamon buns and more tempt from the top of the case.

offers gourmet coffee creations. Try a pumpkin spiced latte or espresso from the trained baristas happy to serve. Everyone knows and loves this authentic downtown establishment. The deli has been around for more than 25 years, with Katrine in charge for nine as an owner and now a manager. She loves knowing her customers and appreciates every one of them. “It’s not just customers - it’s almost like we’re a happy family,” she says. The Agassiz Delicatessen is open Tuesday - Saturday, 9-5 p.m. They are located on Pioneer Ave. next to the Red Apple.

osh Long is the head cook at Little Trattoria (8-45840 Yale Road), and he smiles when people walk through the doors, scan the menu and order two or three things. “Are you sure?” he asks them. “It’s a lot of food.” The look on their faces when the food arrives is priceless. “The calzones and panzerottis, they’re the size of footballs,” Josh says in a completely serious way. “They’ll be eating for a week!” At suppertime, Little Trattoria’s huge pasta plates and sandwiches, calzones and panzerottis are great. Many a new customer has come in saying, ‘My friend told me I absolutely have to eat here.’

“At lunch though, people order something humongous and all they want to do when they get back to the office is nap,” laughs Nelson MacMorran, who owns the business with wife Ali. “And of course it’s bad when the boss sees you sleeping!”

“We’ve got pizza and veal meatball sliders, and our customers can watch us make everything they order. We think we provide a fairly unique experience.”

something and that’s how you have to have it. You can’t say you don’t want peppers or onions. Because we make things specifically for you, you get exactly what you want.”

A fresh one too.

Their solution is a newly-introduced lunch and appetizer menu, with smaller portions at smaller prices, (averaging $10) to appeal to the midday crowd.

Nothing at Little Trattoria is pre-made. Dough. Sauces. Desserts. Everything is made from scratch. They smoke and BBQ for hours every Saturday, with rotating choices of smoked turkey legs, butterflied leg of lamb, smoked ribs and a slow grilled prime rib of beef.

Little Trattoria is nearing its one year anniversary, and Nelson says they’ve been blown away by the response.

Initially a ‘take-out’ restaurant, they’ve added indoor seating, and outdoor seating on a new patio. In addition, they are now fully licensed to serve liquor. “We’re famous for our panzerottis, and our pastas (penne or rotini) with 20 different sauce combinations,” Ali says.

“A lot of places nowadays, stuff is pre-packaged and brought in to make things easier, but you can taste the love in our food,” Long says. “We control as much as we can, the product is better and people notice. And, in most restaurants you order

“We just kinda threw the open sign on and had customers right away, and it’s kept building and building,” he says. “Customers say they can taste the freshness and we do have something that is unique. We offer something that’s uncommon. The panzerottis, calzones and type of sandwiches we do, I haven’t seen them anywhere else.”

the embassy

ou know it’s a passion when you go from being raised in the restaurant industry, then toil as a dishwasher to full on running a restaurant, all by the tender age of 19. Chef Dan Cool is no stranger to hard work in a hot, bustling kitchen. His latest venture is with a long time friend & business associate, Deanna Johnston. That name will sound familiar to anyone that has been in & around Chilliwack for any length of time... Deanna is the General Manager at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn where they’ve recently made some exciting changes. For the past 29 years, where there used to be the hotel, a cafe, a pub, and a fine

4 3 9 7 1 I ND U S T R I A L WAY • (6 0 4 ) 7 9 5 - 3 8 2 8

dining room, there is now one exceptional restaurant & lounge, The Unofficial Fraser Valley Embassy.“This is a place where community comes” says Deanna,‘They come for fresh, local food, fundraising events & drinks with friends” Now, cooking demos, dinner & wine pairing evenings will be hosted as regular events, such as Flavour of Fusion on Saturday, June 13th. Chef Dan has streamlined the menu, made sure there are gluten free & other dietary restriction options & insists on using as much local product as he can get his hands on. The pork comes from Johnston’s Butcher Shop, the chicken from Rossdown Farms, the freshest eggs from Vanderpol’s Eggs & delicious cheeses from Smit’s & Co. Farm Cheese, to name a

few. Chef Dan & Deanna have a lot of fire power on their team, including a pastry chef & 5 Red Seal chefs. They continue to help shape the dreams of other young chefs by offering apprenticeships. Some things haven’t changed: they’ll still be known for the best Sunday Brunch around, and they will still host & cater events, both in their banquet rooms & offsite. Now, they’ll become synonymous with Friday Night Carveries where mouthwatering Prime Rib, fresh local vegetables & a crisp salad bar will be offered. Chef Cool describes a meal of Ossobuco,a Milanese specialty of veals shanks slowly braised in vegetables, broth

& white wine, as his favourite to prepare. Of course not far from his mind is the fact that the Christmas season is fast approaching! There are a lot of events they’ll be catering, but also the New Year’s Eve party that they’ll be hosting in the ballroom… I wouldn’t wait to get tickets for that! All of the things that have made this venue a part of the community for many years, have now just been enhanced by the emergence of The Embassy, and have propelled the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn to #2 in the Fraser Valley for places to stay & dine. Take time to go with friends and see for yourself.

Vancouver-based trio Cannery Row will be returning to Harrison with their rollicking, blues influenced New Orleans gumbo on Saturday, September 26 at 8 p.m. in the intimate Harrison Memorial Hall. "Harrison audiences are well acquainted with the wonderful fiddler, piano player and singer Gary Comeau, first through his Voodoo Allstars and most recently through Cannery Row's grooving 2014 performance on the Festival Beach Stage, " says Hillhouse. With diverse musical backgrounds but a common love of roots Americana styles, Comeau and his bandmates, veterans Tim Hearsey (guitar) and Chris Nordquist (drums), stir up an eclectic mix of original tunes. In their music, one can hear the

influence of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, the blues from Memphis and the Mississippi Delta, the Latin rhythms of Cuba and a sprinkle of the early roots of jazz. Hillhouse states that "these are three fine players- as fine as you will find in the musical heartlands of the southern states to which they pay homage in their music. If you can't travel to the bayou,

we can have a taste of it right here." Alongside Gary Comeau, Tim Hearsay is one of Canada’s finest blues guitarists, and has performed with several blues legends, including Taj Mahal, Lowell Fulson, and Hubert Sumlin, as well as Jim Byrnes, with whom he partnered to produce Jim’s 1996 Juno award winning album “That River”. Chris “the wrist”

Nordquist provides the effortless groove on the drums. Chris is simply one of Canada’s most prolific and versatile drummers, with a list of credits that reads like a who’s who of Canadian music. Cannery Row's slogan is "laissez les bon temps roulez!," which translates as "let the good times roll!" Indeed, these three highly accomplished players know how to bring on the good times with the deep grooves of American roots music, and there is no better place to boogie down than the historic Harrison Memorial Hall. Tickets for Cannery Row are $22.00 and can be purchased online at www.harrisonfestival. com, by phone at 604796-3664 or in person at the Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison and Agassiz Shoppers Drug Mart on Pioneer Ave.

Community Top honours for CRCC instructor

Lorene Keitch THE OBSERVER

Some regulars at the Community Recreation & Cultural Centre (CRCC) might recognize the name Leah Ewonchuk. She has filled in on numerous occasions as a fitness instructor for classes such as Heat Health, Boot Camp and Abs, Buns, & Thighs classes. Ewonchuk is also a former Harrison Hot Springs resident, only moving from here to Chilliwack a couple months ago. Ewonchuk recently took top prize in a body building competition held in Victoria. She placed first for the ‘Figure Tall’ open category at the Victoria Cup. In competitions, the judges are looking at symmetry, size, definition - basically they’re looking for sculpted muscles, explains Ewonchuk. Ewonchuk, 28, decided just two years ago she wanted to compete in body building. She has been in and out of gyms since she was 16 and works

as a personal trainer. But the decision to sign up for a competition motivated Ewonchuk to get over her natural shyness. She says that competing in body building has helped her to achieve her goals and given her confidence. “It helped tremendously,” she says. “It helped me set my goals and stick with it.” It hasn’t always been easy. Ewonchuk is always

pushing herself further, and says there were times she wanted to give up. But she didn’t, and now she has achieved a personal goal. Next stop: provincial competition. She’s focusing on bulking up now, and will be spending the next two years getting her body in top shape. Body building is a growing sport in B.C. There are more than half a dozen competitions each year through the BC Amateur Bodybuilding Association. Ewonchuk says you would be surprised at the number of mothers, like her, who compete. There are several other Fraser Valley women who compete alongside her at the events. Ewonchuk encourages anyone who does not think they can do something like body building to give it a try. “Anything’s possible if you set your mind to it,” says Ewonchuk. “As long as you dig deep and give it your all, anything is possible.”

1935 – 2015

Our Alice was born on May 7th, 1935 to Erich and Olga Gantner in Wladislawow, a small Polish town approx. half way between Posnan and Warsaw. She has two older brothers Bruno and Walter. Two sisters, one older and one younger died in infancy. Her parents of German descent operated there for generations a flourmill. At the start of the Second World War in 1939, when Alice was but 4 yrs old, the peaceful family, being fully bilingual, in order to save their lives by avoiding marauding German hating polish mobs that mistakenly blamed ethnic minorities for the war, was forced to hide and flee east in a trek of Polish refugees. One of Alice’s earliest memories was running for cover with all the others to avoid German planes dropping bombs on the roadway. After the Nazis occupied Poland, life for the family quieted down again. Still new rules were introduced. Alice sometimes recalled with a chuckle a little episode from that time. The up to then customary greeting of “Guten Tag”, perhaps in the Polish language, was replaced with the Nazi salute and a ”Heil Hitler”. One fine day little Alice walking on the sidewalk encountered a polish woman. Debating with herself which greetings would now be appropriate, she decided on the new version. The hurt and upset expression on that poor woman’s face however taught her very quickly, to always be courteous and treat people with politeness and never to hurt anybody. In late fall of 1944, Russian tanks overran Wladislawow, and life changed drastically for the Gantner family. Immediately the flourmill was lost, and they were confined to a single room in their house, the rest being occupied by Russian officers, but worst of all, Alice’s father, a civilian, was abducted and shipped as slave labourer to far away Russia. Late in 1945 after the war’s end during a bitter cold spell, the family was ordered to pack a suitcase and get out. In the largest ethnic cleansing of modern times, they were loaded into open boxcars in the direction of Germany. After several refugees camps the family eventually wound up in Linsenhofen near Stuttgart, where Alice’s grandfather, who made the trek with them, soon after their arrival passed away. Despite though times, the family was destitute and reduced to almost beggar status, Alice still was, after almost two years of missed schooling, able to return to school, eventually graduating from middle school. In 1948 her poor father returned from Russia and with a breadwinner in the family again life improved substantially. In 1951, with help of an uncle in Regina, Saskatchewan, the family was able to immigrate to Canada, but by then 16 year old Alice, because of financial reasons, regretfully was no longer able to resume schooling. Her very first job was as kitchen help in the RCMP depot in Regina, where she was amazed at the plentiful food available. In time she held several jobs, such as operating a buttonhole machine in a garment factory, being a saleslady at a department store and eventually working her way up to senior bookkeeper at Simpson-Sears, a position she held for many years. In 1956 she married Horst Peick, a young man she already knew from Germany. With her industriousness she financed his university studies to become an engineer. Over the years the couple moved several times eventually settling and buying a house in Cambridge, Ont., and 1968 her daughter Denise was born. Unfortunately in 1975 shortly after the birth of her son Andrew, the marriage collapsed, and together with her recently widowed mother, Alice and her two children moved to Chilliwack where a house on Marshall Avenue was purchased. In 1983 Alice married her second husband Hermann, and she moved with her two children onto her new husband’s little farm in Agassiz where she stayed for 31 yrs, until just about a year ago, when the couple relocated to a smaller house in Sardis. Alice lived for Yoga, many years ago she studied under Swami Sivananda in Val Marin, Qc to become a Yoga teacher. Subsequently she taught Yoga for many years in Cambridge and later in Chilliwack, Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs. One of Alice’s big concerns was the environment. She was a founding member of the now defunct “Kent Harrison Green Legacy Society”. Although far from being a fanatic or radical, it pained her to eventually recognize that so many people and governments still don’t see this issue as of the paramount importance it deserves. Alice had a green thumb. For years she supplied the family table with succulent vegetables from her garden, but to her chagrin, she also fought a constant battle with the ever-present plentiful weeds. Her one demand before moving to Sardis was to have again a vegetable garden established at the new home. She loved her barnyard chickens and most of the time even tolerated them in her flowerbeds. Alice will be remembered forever by her daughter Denise Watkins (Andrew), her son Andrew Peick (Jackie), grandchildren Harrison Watkins and Maggie Peick, husband Hermann and brothers Bruno in Kelowna and Walter in Saskatoon as well as many cousins, relatives and friends across Canada, USA, Germany, Switzerland and Poland.

May Alice rest in peace.

A celebration of life will take place in the Agassiz United Church on Sat. October 3rd at 2pm.
