Local accessibility champion welcomes diverse cabinet STEVE HUBRECHT steve@invermerevalleyecho.com The composition of the new federal cabinet, announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week, garnered plenty of attention for its diversity, and was greeted with welcome by a former Invermere municipal politician who has long championed better representation for minorities of all kinds. The 31-member Liberal cabinet has a nearly equally gender balance (with 15 women), and includes two Aboriginal MPs; five visible minority MPs (four of South Asian heritage and one of Afghani heritage); and two differently-abled MPs (one who became quadriplegic after being shot, and another born with visual impairment). “I think its fantastic. It’s truly exciting,” said former Invermere councillor Spring Hawes. “I particularly loved Trudeau’s response when he was asked why he had chosen a gender-balanced

cabinet. He said ‘because it’s 2015’.” speaking on the new federal cabinet. Hawes sustained a spinal cord injury “Unless you experience a disability and several years ago and uses a wheel- are completely and totally aware of all chair.

said. “I hope this diverse cabinet will represent more authentically the diverse population we have in Canada.” Trudeau’s cabinet is also geographically diverse, with MPs from each of Canada’s ten provinces and one from Nunavut (each of Canada’s three territories is a single riding), something that sat well with newly elected NDP Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski. “I’m pleased to see that there are three cabinet ministers from B.C. in the new Liberal cabinet. I’ve looked at their qualifications and it looks like they certainly should know what they are talking about. Of course, our job is to hold their feet to the fire to deliver on the promises they made to Canadians,” Stetski told The Echo on November 6th. “And that is exactly what we are going to do. The role of the opposition is to make a better government, make better decisions. We take that seriously.” Stetski is currently attending training sessions for new MPs in Ottawa.

Wetlands partnership continues to make a splash STEVE HUBRECHT steve@invermerevalleyecho.com

Local conservation organization Columbia Wetlands Stewardship Partnership (CWSP) continues to move forward. The partnership involves more than 30 valley groups from a wide range of sectors as well as municipal governments. Several months ago it welcomed a new president — Brisco resident and University of Alberta ecologist Suzanne Bayley. “It’s fantastic that we have the kind of partnership we do. We have a representative from just about every single group in the valley that has an interest in the wetlands,” said Ms. Bayley. “It (the Partnership) really does gets its strength from having all the major players all coming to consensus. That’s what makes it so valuable. We’ve also had excellent support from a whole fleet of private landowners.” The partnership was formed in 2007 to help the Province manage the Columbia Wetlands Wildlife Management Area. It has since had a hand in a number of projects that both help users appreciate the wetlands (such as its downloadable river guides) and help to further scientific knowledge of the area with research. “With the river guides, we felt that the Columbia River is quite an interesting river and we have a lot of people coming here to canoe, but the river is complex, with multiple channels, so why not create a guide, one that people can pick the section of the river they want and then print it out?” said Ms. Bayley. The partnership’s latest project is trying to bring the northern leopard frog back to the wetlands. “Right now, we’re trying to get enough tadpoles to survive into adulthood that the species can be reintroduced,” Ms. Bayley, adding that other science-based projects include simply gathering data on the Columbia Wetlands, which are in such good condition that they have not been studied as much as more at-risk wetlands. “It’s (the wetland) almost too good for its

own good. It’s a beautiful, relatively intact wetland — one of the best in Western Canada — and as a consequence there’s really been relatively little research done on it. Research often tends to focus on wetlands that are in more immediate danger. So we want to get to know it better, to ensure we continue to manage it well,” said Ms. Bayley. “It’s good to have a healthy wetland, but there could be threats coming down the pipe. One of the things we are concerned about is climate change and how that might affect our wetland. We don’t have any information about that.” The key to the Columbia Wetlands’ considerable biodiversity is its high variation of habitat, with some areas flooding seasonally and other drained most of the time, according to Ms. Bayley. Another important aspect is the naturally occurring levees in the wetlands. “Without those levees, we wouldn’t have a wetland, but we don’t know much about them yet,” she said. Ms. Bayley said the Columbia Wetlands are unique compared with other large East Kootenay wetlands, such as those in Creston and Bummer Flats, since those others are managed by humans (with water pumped in and drained) while the Columbia Wetlands are more or less completely natural. Other projects involving the partnership include the Dutch Creek stream restoration proposal; the Fairmont Hot Springs riparian habitat enhancement; the annual Columbia Salmon Festival; the Wilmer slough cleanup; the Habitat Linkage project; examining the impact of human activities on river levees and perched wetlands; the northern leopard frog habitat assessment; water monitoring in the Upper Columbia watershed; dealing with invasive species; combating noxious weeds on private lands; developing soil science; creating an Adaptive Management Strategy for the area; conducting a photo plot survey; developing the “Columbia Wetlands: A Natural Inspiration” art project; and a firefly project.

Crown land firewood collectors urged to get permits Steve Hubrecht steve@invermerevalleyecho.com

do so at the local Rocky Mountain Forest District office in Cranbrook; at the Service BC office in Invermere (located at 625 4th Street or call 250-342-4260); or online at www. for.gov.bc.ca/drm/forms/firewood.htm. The maximum amount of firewood that can be collected is 25 cubic metres (seven cords); only dead trees can be cut; and the wood must be cut into stove lengths not exceeding 1.2 metres (or 0.6 metres in the case of cedar) before being transported. A press release from the ministry also mentions that the public can do its part to stop illegal harvesting by purchasing firewood only from legitimate producers who sell wood obtained either on private land or through authorized Crown land harvesting tenures. Commercial firewood producers should have a “Forestry Licence to Cut” document signed by FLNRO. Visit www.gov.bc.ca/firewoodpermits to learn more.

With winter looming on the horizon, those valley residents with wood-burning stoves or fireplaces in their homes are busy gathering up enough logs to keep cozy while the snow flies, but the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) is reminding people heading out into the backcountry that they need permits to collect firewood. “Cutting down trees on Crown land without an appropriate permit, or selling any such firewood, is an ongoing concern in B.C. This activity is illegal and could result in a violation ticket or fine. It also could create safety hazards for recreationalists and other forest users, and negatively affect ecosystems, including fish and wildlife habitats,” FLRNO public affairs officer Greig Bethel told The Echo. Firewood collection permits are free and allow B.C. residents to collect and transport firewood from eligible Crown lands for personal use. Those collecting firewood on Crown land must print out, sign and carry their Free Use Firewood Cutting Permit with them when they are out collecting firewood. Although FLRNO didn’t immediately have statistics specific to just the Upper Columbia Valley, Bethel did tell The Echo that for the entire Kootenay-Boundary region, the ministry issued 648 firewood permits during the past fiscal year (between People collecting firewood from Crown land for the purpose of heating their homes must April 1st , 2014 and March carry Free Uise Firewood Cutting Permits with them during their cutting, loading and 31st, 2015). transporation activities.

DEAN MIDYETTE publisher@invermerevalleyecho.com I was 16, on a student exchange to a small town just outside of Hamburg, Germany. After finishing the school year, four of us, two Canadians and two Germans, decided to purchase EuroRail tickets and travel for six weeks before two of us returned to Canada. We had a loose itinerary, knowing only that we needed to be on a ferry from Brindisi, Italy to Patras, Greece in four weeks. Shortly after leaving Amsterdam, we decided to take a break from the train to stretch our legs and have a look around. The next stop happened to be a small Dutch village near the Belgian border. Both Ron and I were sporting Canadian flags sewn onto our backpacks. As we meandered down a side street away from the village’s centre, an elderly lady called to us and motioned us to come over. Pointing to the flag on my backpack, she pulled on my arm, inviting us into her home. Over an impromptu lunch, through a combination of Dutch, low German, French and a handful of English words, we came to understand that her husband and two sons were killed by the Germans during the Second World War. Faded black and white photos of her deceased family adorned the walls of her small living room. She had invited us in because it was the Canadians who liberated her village — this village. Later, as we said our thanks and our farewells, she hugged first me, then Ron, whispering: “Thank you” over and over as tears poured from her eyes. We visited Flanders Fields where row upon row of white crosses mark the

Barry Gilroy/Library and Archives Canada graves of unknown soldiers, stretching almost endlessly across a verdant meadow. “How many lying beneath the ground are Canadian?” I asked myself. I knew that most had been my age or only a few years older, every one a volunteer. After that, we made a point to travel to Dieppe on the northern coast of France, visiting the graveyard there to pay tribute to the Canadians who had fallen in 1942. Almost 5,000 Canadians took part in the raid. Over 900 of our countrymen died on the beaches while more than 1,900 were taken prisoner. On the western side of the public walkway that fronts the city is a small park

called Canada Square where the DieppeCanada monument stands, honouring the “Canadian cousins” who died and those who returned on September 1st, 1944 to liberate the city. The Canadian flags on our backpacks elicited soft “merci”s, solemn pats on the shoulder, and gentle nods from French old and young. That trip changed me. I hadn’t truly understood what it means to be Canadian. I returned, proud of my heritage and my homeland, with profound respect for those who choose to serve our country selflessly, to defend our freedom. I will never forget.

Three B.C. ministers in Trudeau cabinet TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Dear Editor: “Today the pattern of human population growth is more bacterial than primate with the human biomass being more than a hundred times greater than any other large animal species that has ever existed on Earth.” ~ E. O. Wilson, Biologist. All’s quiet in the Jumbo Valley area and it may remain so for awhile longer according to the Mountain Resorts Branch (MRB) of the MoFLNFO. It is to the MRB that the proponent of the scaled-back version of a Jumbo Glacier Resort (JGR) would turn to avoid another environmental assessment. At the time of this writing there has been no formal submission for a reduced sized resort (less than 2,000 beds) under the auspices of the All Seasons Resort Policy (ASRP). But the proponent has made inquiries into the extensive requirements of the ASRP and has submitted three points indicating that an application is their future intent. The Valemont Resort presently requires the full attention of it’s developer proponent which happens to be the same proponent for JGR. “Building the resort is about not losing to the protestors,” said Grant Costello in the Jumbo Wild movie. Mr. Costello has been a major player for many years supporting the JGR proposal. “For one species to radically alter the entire natural world is unprecedented in all of Earth’s 4.5 billion-year history, and while creating our human environment, we’ve subdued over 75 per cent of land surface into which we’ve embedded a very small fraction of the natural world as preserved pockets we call wilderness.” ~ Diane Akerman, author of The Human Age: The World Shaped By Us.

A message from the Member of Parliament

A message from the MLA For almost a century, Canadians have gathered at Cenotaphs in communities across the country on the morning of November 11th. In some of the communities I represent, it is one of the largest gatherings of the year, and it speaks to the enduring gratitude and respect we have for our veterans, and their sacrifice. In speaking to a group of students at Nicholson Elementary, when I was Principal, the late Mr. Bill Batten, a Second World War veteran, spoke of the importance he placed on his lifetime commitment to his fellow soldiers. He said Norm Macdonald that he needed to keep their memories alive, and honour their sacrifice by appreciating the freedoms and democracy they had died to protect. And Mr. Batten asked that even the youngest student at the school help him in his work by remembering veterans and understanding the importance of peace, freedom and democracy. As we gather on Remembrance Day, we see the crowd filled with people of all ages. We see new Canadians and those whose families have been in Canada for generations. This Remembrance Day, we again thank our veterans, we honour their sacrifice and their willingness to serve their fellow Canadians. Norm Macdonald Member of the legislative assembly Columbia River-Revelstoke

Remembrance Day is always special, and I like to spend the week taking part in ceremonies in schools and then participate at the Cenotaph on November 11th. Hearing the stories of great sacrifice from our veterans and being reminded of how fortunate we are to live in peace helps us appreciate our men and women in uniform both today and in the past. Like many of you, I memorized “In Flanders Field” in my youth and can still recite the poem today. The image of rows of white crosses and red poppies help us remember the suffering and death that war brings, and the warning Wayne Stetski not to break faith with those who died is a message that warrants repeating more often than once a year. We have a proud history of helping to keep peace around the world — that is a role that we excel at and, historically, have been recognized for internationally. We also are willing to join our allies in war when evil threatens to overtake good people. Remembrance Day gives us the opportunity to say “Thank You” to our soldiers and our veterans for service that goes above and beyond what most of us are asked to do. They deserve our support and our appreciation. Please take the time to gather on November 11th to show your respect for those who have given so much. It is an honour to stand with them. WAYNE STETSKI MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT Kootenay-Columbia

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. ~John McCrae

WWI Indian Army honoured

LOCAL from A9 Meticulous track was kept of attendance. As noted on one attendance sheet, Audrey Cleland received “disciplinary action,” but she couldn’t remember why. “It was pretty hard to get into trouble when all the boys were gone!” The girls earned military ranks similar to those of the armed forces. Joy was promoted to sergeant, although it cost her five cents. She had to mail a nickel to Vancouver for her sergeant’s chevron, which she then sewed onto her uniform. When Canada did allow Joy and Audrey sift through their old records from the women to join the armed wartime years. Photo submitted forces two years after the war began, many militia members were first in line. Hats off to Joy and Audrey, and thank you for being prepared to defend Canada. Elinor Florence of Invermere is the author of a wartime novel called Bird’s Eye View. Signed copies can be purchased from the Invermere Public Library, with proceeds towards the library. For more information visit her website at www.elinorflorence.com or call her at 250-342-0444.

Tom Fletcher Black Press An 1874 version of the Red Ensign flag has been presented to the B.C. government to commemorate the contribution of Indian Army soldiers to allied forces in World War I and their settlement in the province. Steven Purewal, founder of Indus Media Foundation Canada, presented the flag to Premier Christy Clark October 28th as a symbol of their contribution. Here are excerpts from Purewal’s speech: “In 1849 Vancouver Island and the Punjab both became realms of the Crown. For the Punjab, the Victorian era opened up many opportunities within the vast military administration of the empire. And by the turn of the 19th Century, Punjabis had won many accolades as outstanding soldiers of the Queen in the various campaigns throughout Asia and Africa. “As we know, in the summer of 1914, the ship Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver to a less than welcoming

environment. It was a sad episode in our community’s history. “But there is another story, an epilogue if you will, to the Komagata Maru story. And that is that another ship was asked to sail at the very same time the Komagata Maru was leaving from India, that was asked to sail to France. “That ship contained the kith and kin of the people aboard the Komagata Maru. Their story is the story of the men that stood with Canada during its baptism of fire in World War I. “The heroic story of the Canadians in Flanders Fields is told in our classrooms. But what’s not told is that the Punjabis were standing united with Canada. They were there as brothers in arms and friends in need. They stood true despite the events of Vancouver. “On the centennial of WWI, our children should learn that the Indian Army won 9,000 gallantry awards, that the Indian Army fielded more men in World War I than all the other colonies put together, including Canada and Australia, that they were critical to the allied victory.”
