For Dr. Anthon Meyer, It’s all about the patient and providing them with the best local care possible. It is this passion for people that has led to Meyer receiving the honour of being B.C.’S family doctor of the year by The College of Family Physicians of Canada. “This has been a humbling experience and I value the opportunity. We are making change in the community and it’s so exciting,” Meyer said. Meyer, originally from South Africa, moved to Fort St. James three years ago. He will be honoured in Toronto on Nov. 10 along with nine other doctors from across the country. “I had a vision when I arrived here. And because of the support I’ve received in the community, my vision has been embraced. The community was prepared to entertain the need for the recruitment and retainment of physicians and this is what brought me to Fort. St. James,” Meyer said. Prior to this, Meyer spent his entire career in rural, under-serviced communities in Manitoba and in Northern Ontario. “My focus is community based local care by bringing the care to the patient,” Meyer said. Dr. Meyer is the founder of AMDOCS, a unique primary care model that has led to the recruitment of health care providers and the establishment of full-service, rural general practises with ER skills particularly in First Nations communities. It was this care that Meyer remains dedicated to. “This is where I find the most connection,” he said. And this is where Meyer realised the need for various programs. Since arriving in Fort St. James, Meyer has developed outreach first nations clinics, a chronic disease management program and hospital emergency is now available 24/7. Plans for a new hospital are also in the works. “We, along with Northern Health have seen tremendous change. It speaks to their dedication,” Meyer said. “It has been a team approach. We have a chance to make real change and it’s happening along with what I value most and that is to care.” Meyer, 58, has settled in to life in Fort St. James. He is now the medical director in the Fort St, James Medical Clinic where he practises family medicine and emergency care with Stuart Lake Hospital.
Dr. Anthon Meyer Meyer works alongside six physicians and two nurse practitioners. The hospital has recently been approved as a training site where new doctors can see the impacts of good local care. “Physicians can see the changes in the community and they can see the positive outcome. This will encourage doctors to stay in these communities and will help resolve this revolvingdoor mentality,” Meyer said. “I’m so proud to be a part of this community, in knowing their dedication and contribution in supporting the well-being of everyone here. It’s
very special,” Meyer said. Meyer’s 30-year-old daughter and son-in-law are also local physicians. They are expecting their first child in two months. “I am happy to call this home now,” Meyer said. He has just recently had his contract extended for another five years. All in all, it is the patient what matters most to Meyer. “To touch the soul of my community and of my patient, to help them become more powerful on their management program, this is what’s special for me.”

On Remembrance Day, we pause to reÁect on the courage, dedication and loyalty of our nation’s soldiers. Throughout history, their hard work and sacriÀce have kept us safe and protected our freedom. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid, and we salute them for their service. To all of the brave men and women who have sacriÀced to put their country Àrst, we thank you. Photo by Rebecca Watson
SHOWING RESPECT: The RCMP are seen placing a wreath in Ferland Park, Vanderhoof along with many other community groups at the Nov. 11 ceremony in 2014.
In Flanders fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army
Give pause on Remembrance Day A Àeld of poppies has come to symbolize the soldiers who lost their lives while Àghting in battle. Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacrifices, and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on this day. Armistice Day origins Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of
the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Remembrance Day evolution Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to commemorate soldiers from both world wars. It is now used as a way to pay hommage to any fallen soldier. What about the poppies? One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers.
The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died in order that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant

in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem, titled “In Flanders
Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international acclaim and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it
on the right side, because that is where a widow would wear her husband’s medals. Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers’ efforts to secure freedom.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Congratulations to each and everyone that has supported the efforts of the Stuart Lake Hospital Auxiliary. This year we had an excellent Turkey Dart Shoot Fundraiser with a net profit of $4,561.70. There were 77 participants at this year’s event. Everyone enjoyed themselves and everyone took home either a turkey or a prize. The Auxiliary acknowledges the support and generosity of the merchants, contractors, individuals, volunteers, and patrons from our community and outside of our community for their continued unwavering commitment to raise funds for Stuart Lake Hospital and other health related endeavors. The Auxiliary will be 49 years old this November. The members have been an active group all these years. First working towards getting a hospital built in Fort St. James, which become a reality 43 years ago May 23, 1972. Since them we have been busy supporting the medical staff and doctors with necessary
equipment and with patient comfort. During the downsizing of our hospital we were able to utilize empty rooms to outfit the palliative Care and Family Rooms. Today our hospital is also home to 6 long term residents, whom we have also helped. We are proud to say that with the community’s support we have purchased over $360,000 in equipment, resources for the hospital and patient comforts. Our big purchase this year was support ($30,000) towards the FSJ Senior Transportation Bus. This will enable all Fort St. James’ Senior’s to travel for various reasons to other areas both inside and outside of Fort St. James. For example: go to movies, meet with other senior organizations, attend the live plays etc. A new service offered to the residents/patients within the hospital is a weekly mobile cart. This cart gives the members and the patients a chance to interact and get to know one another. The cart supplies pop, juice, choco-
late bars, chips, toiletry items, cards for all occasions and numerous other items. We are proud to have a Junior Volunteer Program whom the Auxiliary supports with their work of helping the patients at the hospital with little gifts, reading, and talking to the patients as may be needed. Many of these young people go on and apply for our graduation Medical Field Bursary of $1,500 and go on to post secondary education in a medical field. We are committed to continue with our work to help where needed within the hospital. This we do knowing we have the support of the community. Thank you for your continued support of the Turkey Dart Shoot annual fundraiser event. The Auxiliary looks forward to your support in Year 2016. Thanks Again Sherry Nielsen, Bonnice Kozley, Jacqueline Dagenais

Canadians helping Canadians I would like to take this opportunity to thank the more than 230,000 Canadians who contributed to the successful delivery of the 42nd general election. Once again, Canadians were willing to take time from their busy lives, making personal and professional sacrifices to work long hours to ensure their fellow citizens could exercise their democratic right to vote and receive the election results without delay following the close of the polls. I am overwhelmed by the exceptional professionalism and dedication our election workers have demonstrated in serving Canadian electors, often in very challenging circumstances. Some three million more Canadians voted at this federal general election than at the 2011 election, resulting in the highest voter turnout in more than 20 years. There was a remarkable level of voter activity throughout the election, which in some instances resulted in wait times at both the
advance polls and on election day. Our election workers provided the best service possible to their friends and neighbours in communities across our great land – for that is the true strength of our electoral process: Canadians working hard to make it possible for their fellow Canadians to choose the elected officials who will represent them in the House of Commons. There will be time in the coming weeks and months to review our electoral procedures and consider ways they could be modernized for future elections. For now, our dedicated election workers should take great pride in their accomplishments and important contributions to our society. I know that all Canadians join me in thanking them for their excellent work in the service of democracy. Marc Mayrand Chief Electoral Officer of Canada

Courier Collective Creations Theatre” connects with students BARBARA LATKOWSKI Caledonia Courier
All the world’s a stage and this is certainly true in Fort St. James as the Collective Creations Theatre Project continues to engage, inspire and educate students about theatre. The new project will run through September until June, 2016. There are currently twelve students from Fort St. James Secondary School, from grades 10 – 12 enrolled. It was through a youth engagement grant, that the project came to be and community arts council member, Monica Grill sees this as an excellent opportunity to bring theatre into the lives of students and into the community. “We wanted this for a long time,” Grill said. “The arts council has always tried to incorporate and enhance school programs through various programs, performances and workshops but it’s been difficult due to cutbacks especially in fine arts programs.” “But this opportunity came up,” Grill said. “And it’s been very exciting.” According to Grill, who is also administrative assistant at Fort St. James Alternate Secondary School, the project could not have happened without certain partnerships and the collaborative efforts of people in the community including the SONAR group at the high school. This group is specifically in-
volved in wellness projects through art, expression and performances at school and within the community. “SONAR was the voice. They were the vessel in getting the word out about this,” Grill said. “The Nak’azdli Youth Council, Music Makers, FSJ District, Theatre Northwest and the Community Arts Council were also instrumental according to Grill. The Collective Creations Project, its name for the time being, is a way for youth in Fort St. James to connect with professionally and internationally renowned artists who will teach all aspects of theatre production including: writing, directing, and performing. The resulting artistic endeavor will be a theatre production that will be created, produced, directed and performed by the students. Students also receive credit towards their studies when enrolled in this program. “We are so lucky to have Theatre Northwest on board,” Grill said. The students meet with the facilitator, Lauren Brotman and her husband, theatre coordinator, Jack Grinhaus twice a week and video conferences are held monthly. “We’ve received excellent feedback so far,” Grill says. “This is an excellent way to show our community that kids are interested in the arts and that they need these opportunities.”
All Saints, All Souls: a time for prayer and remembrance BARBARA LATKOWSKI Caledonia Courier
All Saints Day, also known as All Hallows Day of All Saints, was celebrated on Nov.1 by the Roman Catholic Church and various protestant denominations. It celebrates and honours all the saints, known and unknown. In Catholic theology, All Saints Day remembers those who have attained the beautific vision in Heaven. In many countries it is a national holiday. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches the next day, Nov. 2, is All Souls Day. This day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet reached Heaven. Christians who celebrate both occasions share a fundamental belief that there is a spiritual bond between those in Heaven and the living. Catholics believe that through prayers of the faithful on Earth, the dead are cleansed of their sins so they may enter into heaven. Father Frank Salmon, pastor at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Fort St. James says that November
is the month that focuses on the deceased. “Both days reflect our saints in Heaven and our dearly departed relatives. Death does not sever any of the bonds that unite us in Christ.” On Nov.1, after morning mass, the congregation of Our Lady of Snows along with Fr. Salmon gathered at the graves of their loved ones where prayers and blessings were offered. On Monday, Nov.2, a candlelight mass was held at the old church, Our Lady of Good Hope, were anyone could bring photos of their departed loved ones and share, pray and remember.

Women’s Connect will be holding a craft workshop on Nov. 4 from 6 – 8 in the Nechako Valley Community Services boardroom. The group meets monthly and this month, all women in the Fort St. James community are encouraged to come out and engage, meet new people, have fun, and make a craft while they’re at it. Santa Claus beaded earrings are on the agenda for this month. Joan Macgillivray, who organizes the event along with fellow group member, Anna Leon says that this is a great opportunity to meet other women of all ages from new moms to grandmothers. All are welcome. “It takes a community to raise a child”, Macgillivray says. “It’s FORT ST. JAMES PUBLIC LIBRARY HOURS...
a great way to get women in the community together in our small town.” The group decides what the next project will be from month to month and someone always steps up and facilitates be it craft making or a walk. “It’s up to the group and the best thing is that it’s free,” Macgillivray said. “Women look forward to it and it gives them some time out of the house for 2 hrs a month.” For more information or to register for the Women’s Connect Workshop call: (250) 996-7645.

Royal Canadian Legion lives on in Fort St. James BARBARA LATKOWSKI Caledonia Courier
The Royal Canadian Legion is alive and well in Fort St. James. Despite the legion building closing its doors for good last spring, Branch 268 of the legion has re-established its executive committee and plans are being made in preparation for this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony. “Yes, our legion is up and running again and we just want to let the community know that there is a legion presence once again,” legion president, Marylou Fonda said. And it’s this presence that the new president is determined to keep alive within the Fort St. James community. “My father was a veteran. That’s why it’s so important to me personally, to keep the legion going, to have a legion presence in the community and to be able to allow people the opportunity to remember,” Fonda said.
A division of
The Legion received its charter in 1965. It opened its doors in 1972. Since its closure, the community is still feeling the loss. Gladys Martin, president of the Ladies Auxiliary and current legion secretary/ treasurer says that despite the closure, the legion must remain in Fort. St. James. “It’s so important,” Martin said. “The legion is much more than just a building. It means more than that.” Remembrance Day events will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 11. All are asked to assemble at the Community Centre. At 10:45 a.m. a color party march will leave for the cenotaph for wreath laying. A potluck lunch will follow at Kwah Hall from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Poppies will be available for sale by donation in the band office on Nov. 6. This year’s poppy chairman and parade marshal is Mark Whitely. For more information about the legion or to volunteer, please contact Marylou at mffonda@hotmail.com

Red Haven: a Halloween hit BARBARA LATKOWSKI Caledonia Courier
It was something a little daring and a little different at the Community Centre on Halloween night. Vancouver-based, Red Haven, who are currently touring, performed at the Community Centre
Theatre for a concert and masquerade ball. “We’ve just come back from the Folk Music Ontario Conference in Toronto,� band member Brendan Steele said. Red Haven, are also celebrating a new album release called, Vilified. The band, together two years, says that they have
stepped outside of their comfort zone with this album and that it’s much more cohesive and mature. Brendan Steele, on vocals and guitar, says that Red Haven has been influenced by bands such as The Devil Makes Three, Regina Spektor and the swing bands of Frenchman Street in New Orleans.
Red Haven’s lead vocalist, sax and accordion player, Jennifer Charters brings a gypsy-jazz edge to the textured folk of guitarist Brendan Steele, drummer Jesse Thom and doublebassist Nathan Turner. According to the band, their music is reminiscent of 1920’s jazz, 1960’s folk and first century composition.
Just before their performance, a burlesque show entertained the various clowns, cowboys, witches and other masquerade goers as they filled the venue. It was a Halloween filled with fun, flare and great talent. For more information on Red Haven visit: redhavenmusic.com
