Eager Steelhead trout struggle during the new spawning season atthe CoquihallaRiverthis month12

Tom FletcherBlack Press

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan's chief of staff has resigned to take a senior job with the Al-berta NDP government.

Lawyer John Heaney took unpaid leave from his B.C. job in May to serve as acting associate deputy minister for policy and planning for Alberta.

Horgan announced Monday that Heaney "is in discussions with the Government of Alber-ta regarding a senior policy position.

"While I am sorry to lose his talent here in

British Columbia, I am not surprised he has proven to be invaluable to Premier Rachel Notley and the new NDP government of Al-berta."

Horgan's deputy chief of staff Suzanne Christensen will assume the job she has been filling in an acting capacity since Heaney's de-parture from Victoria, and any further chang-es to political staff will be made in September, Horgan said.

Heaney's jump to a newly created senior ad-ministration role with a top salary of $287,000 a year caused a stir in Edmonton, with opposi-tion Wildrose Party MLAs accusing Notley of

politicizing the civil service."Using the non-partisan public service to

reward a partisan apparatchik is very danger-ous to the ability of the public service to do what is in the best interests of all Albertans," Wildrose finance critic Derek Fildebrandt told the Edmonton Journal in May.

"It is the very thing the Tories have done for decades."

Heaney attracted similar criticism during his days with B.C. NDP premier Mike Har-court's government, where he ran a "public is-sues and consultation branch" that was part of the B.C. public service.

Federal election season has begun and voters have until Oct. 19 to decide upon a worthy candidate.

The federal election campaign season has officially begun and voters now have until Oct. 19 to decide on a worthy candidate, and in Chilliwack-Hope that means consideration of at least a few new faces.

So far, five parties have announced candidates in this riding, including incumbent Conservative Mark Strahl. Challenging his seat in parliament are Seonaigh MacPherson for the NDP, Louie De Jaeger for the Liberal party, Thomas Cheney for the Green Party, and Alexander Johnson for the Libertarians.

Strahl won over the majority of voters in 2011, earning 57 per cent of their ballots. His win followed a three-term run by his father, Chuck Strahl, also a Conservative.

Over the past four elections, the NDP have been the biggest threat to the long-standing Conservative seat.

In 2011, the NDP took a quarter of the votes, with then-candidate Gwen O’Mahoney. This time around, MacPherson has been campaigning since December, going door to door in both Chilliwack and Hope.

“I’ve heard the calls for change grow louder,” she

said in a press release statement.“Families are working harder than ever, but they can’t get

ahead.Many say we’re in another recession. Clearly, Stephen Harper’s

plan isn’t working.”The Liberals also earn a fair share of the votes in this riding,

with anywhere from eight to 16 per cent over the past four elec-tions. Liberal candidate De Jaegar had been campaigning aggres-sively, visiting locals and holding special fundraisers. He spent time celebrating alongside Liberal party leader Justin Trudeau and other candidates, at Vancouver’s Pride Parade.

The Green Party has consistently ran a candidate in Chilliwack, as well. A statement for Cheney, this election’s Green candidate, reads in part: “The current administration’s unwillingness to act on climate change is the main reason Thomas decided to run for the Greens in 2015. He thinks cli-mate change is the defining issue of our time, and that confront-ing it will help solve many of the other challenges we face as a country and a global community.

NewsFederal election triggers spending limits

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Federal election lawn signs have begun to sprout now that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has fired the starting pistol on what will be a 78-day campaign, which will hold the title of the longest anticipated campaign in modern history.

The prime minister visited Governor General David Johnston at Rideau Hall to dissolve Parliament and begin the election set for Oct. 19.

The voting day had been fixed in legislation and party leaders had been in campaign mode for weeks, but dropping the writ this far ahead means spending limits will be in force for much longer than the typical 36 days.

That will give a significant financinal advantage to Harper and the Conservatives, according to SFU political scientist Patrick Smith.

“They certainly have the largest war chest,” Smith said. “Money matters in politics.”

He predicts the Tories will far outspend their rivals and might be in a position to blitz advertising channels late in the campaign when NDP and Liberal coffers may be nearly exhausted.

A campaign more than twice the usual length means a spending limit twice as high - more than $50 million per party - that only the tories have a realistic shot at fully exploiting.

“They have more money than the other parties so they can withstand a longer race.”

The early writ drop means third party advertising — such as union funded anti-Tory attack ads by engage Canada — will now be subject to a tight $200,000 spending limit, largely clamping down on their influence.

That was a key motivation for starting the campaign now rather than waiting, Smith said.

“It shuts up third advertising and at the moment they see that as problematic.”

A long, financial war of attrition on the hustings could have ramifications beyond who actually wins the election.

Smith currently predicts a Conservative minority. In that scenario, he says, a cash-depleted or possibly

indebted opposition will be less inclined to topple a minority Tory government and force a new election.

“They’re not likely to try to trigger an election in the first six months, so that helps stabilize a Conservative minority,” Smith said.

“So people who think about the longer game will be think-ing about those kinds of things.”

The longest campaign in more than a century will also mean higher costs to taxpayers.

Elections Canada’s costs will be higher to mobilize staff earlier.

And more spending than usual by the parties would trans-late into a higher government subsidy back to them for use in future campaigns.

As for significant issues, Smith expects the federal push for new oil pipelines across B.C. will hurt the Conservatives in this province.

But he said the slowing economy will be the dominant issue on voters’ minds in deciding which party to support.

Another month of economic contraction could make a suspected recession official by September.

Smith isn’t sure that would necessarily be bad for the PM.“If the economy is bad, do we have to stay with Harper

because he’s the best man to manage it or does he get the blame?”

The bigger danger for Harper is that “once people start humming the change tune, it’s pretty hard to reverse it.”

For the Conservatives to win even a minority, the Tories may need the anti-Harper vote split as evenly as possible between the Liberals and NDP, Smith said, and many votes bled off by the Greens as well.

He thinks the Conservatives will struggle to hold onto their seats in B.C. and the Greens may take another seat or two from the NDP on Vancouver Island.

“These things could become more significant if we end up in a minority government with dif ferent permutations and combinations.”

Drawn out election bodes poorly for NDP and Liberal coffers

NewsOff-roaders waiting to assess fire

damage near Harrison LakeJessica Peters and Erin KnutsonBlack Press

Efforts to extinguish the wildfire burning north of Harrison Lake have been tireless as fire crews were aided by milder temperatures this past weekend. The fire was first reported on August 2 and has been determined by officials to be the cause of undisclosed human factors.

Once the massive fire stops burning, local off-road enthusiasts will be some of the first to ven-ture back into the area.

Last week as the fire was still burning at 650 hectares, they chatted online about possible clean up efforts, getting up there to assess the damage, and eventually rebuilding the area they love so dearly. It’s been a hard fire to watch for regular visitors to the area, as the flames quickly spread through the underbrush and into the trees.

Myles Denman was one of the first to stum-ble onto the scene of the fire, when it was just starting, as he and his wife were four-by-fouring in the area that morning.

“We probably came across it around 11:40 a.m. or so,” he said. “We were on our way to Hale Creek, a favourite spot for us wheelers.”

While it was still relatively small, it was beyond anything they could handle alone.

“It was clear that it needed major resources immediately,” he said. “Nothing we could do with a couple shovels and no water.”

They called it in, with the little reception avail-able, and stayed a safe distance away to watch the initial firefighting efforts.

“They did everything they could, trust me,” he said. “We watched the whole response.”

Hale Creek was one of the areas members of the Four-Wheel Drive Association have been hoping won’t be destroyed by the fire. Denman goes up there every couple months, he says, but it’s a busy recreation site with off-roaders going up there daily. Camping at Hale Creek is free, and the site is located along the western shore of Harrison Lake, about 23 km up West Harrison Forest Service Road.

Members of the Four-Wheel Drive

Association helped build a log picnic shelter at the site, and keep the area well maintained.

It’s located right at the fire, which has now grown to about 1,325 hectares. “It’s sad to think that the shelter has probably burned,” he says.

Denman and other members of the Four Wheel Drive Association of B.C. are some of the heaviest users of local backroads and recreation sites. But they also pride themselves on being caretakers of the land, and organize cleanup parties regularly, espe-cially in the summer months when partiers move in and take over the forest and beaches.

“Real wheelers and outdoor enthusiasts take care of our play-ground,” Denman said. “Then there are the punks, usually the younger crowds who leave garbage and dis-respect the place.”

Despite speedy efforts the fire grew anyway, from those first few flames on the morn-ing of Sunday, August 2, to 100 hectares on the Monday and then 600 hectares on Tuesday of this past week. Rain and continued firefight-ing efforts seemed to keep the fire steady and at that size throughout the days that followed. Officials announced they had gotten a better estimate, at 1,325 hect-ares. They are closely watching a number of sites, including the Harrison Fire Lookout. The structure has his-torical significance, and was used to keep an eye on fire situations prior to new technology. It’s been well preserved, and this week firefight-ers took extra efforts to douse the structure and

surrounding area with water and fire suppres-sant. So far, the tower seems to be unscathed.

“Hale Creek I’m afraid might have already succumbed to the fire,” Denman said. “Sunrise Lake is just up the mountain across the main road, then if it keeps moving north-ward it could burn to 20 Mile Bay. There’s also a multitude of hidden spots that people have built, little camping spots et cetera.”

It’s estimated that hundreds of campers were moved out of the area on Sunday and Monday, as the fire grew. The logging road through the area begins at Harrison Mills, southwest of Harrison, travels through Sts’ailes, and follows the lake on its western shore before veering off toward Pemberton. The area is filled with tiny lakes, creek fronts and other idyllic off-the-grid campsites. The area may have become busier over the past few years because other recreation areas have been gated off to the general public.

“I would say easily thousands of people use the whole west side, especially since the RCMP started crack-ing down on people at Stave Lake and Sylvester Road,” he said. Coquitlam has had some success with a key program at Eagle Mountain.

Users who wish to access that area visit the municipal office and put down a deposit for a key, and leave their information.

That way, the munici-pality has a record of who has access to the area. “We all want to protect our playground from the idiots,”

Denman said.The BC Wildfire

Service has stated that officials are currently trying to keep people out of the area.

People jeopardize themselves, the opera-tion and fire crew mem-bers when they don’t comply with officials.

To report a wildfire or open burning viola-tion, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone.

Beach life continues, as fire crews work tirelessly to extinguish the wild-fire burning north of Harrison Lake.

Trophy hunting brings millions into Africa, but only three per cent reaches the people; the rest goes to outfitters.

In contrast, tourists armed with cameras, add billions to local economies.Similarly, in B.C., grizzly bear viewing brings twice as much revenue ($30

million in 2012) into local hands as trophy hunting.Here’s how Dr. Walter Palmer “practiced” the cruel “sport” he loves. After

luring Cecil from the game preserve, Palmer wounded him with a crossbow. He then followed Cecil’s blood trail for 40 hours, finishing him off with a rifle. Palmer’s crew skinned Cecil and severed his head, and tried to destroy a collar which tracked the animal for research intended to advance the lion population. It’s plummeted 50 per cent in the last decade because of habitat loss, poaching, and trophy hunting.

“This is murder,” insists Ioana Dungler, of Lionsrock, a big cat rescue sanc-tuary in South Africa.

It would still be murder, she says, if the cat lived outside a protected reserve.Trophy hunting is sanctioned in 11 other African countries.In B.C., the Ministry of Environment calculates the annual “harvest” for

elk, mountain goat, cougar, black bear, and wolves as if they were grain crops like wheat or barley.

In 2014, the “harvest” for grizzles, was 350, a number it deemed “well within the maximum mortality rate.”

Words like “harvest” and “within maximum mortality rate” are appropriate for financial ledgers, but not for lions, bears, wolves. Nor is it appropriate to destroy wild animals on the basis of specious argumentation, including the one the ministry floated about two baby bears in Pt. Hardy. They were not a threat to people, as management claimed.

Conservation officer Bryce Casavant said they could be rehabilitated.When it comes to thinking about animals, it’s time for a paradigm shift.

Animals have a right to life. They are not bales of hay, or ears of corn. They are something to revere.

“Tiger, tiger, burning bright in the forest of the night,” wrote poet, William Blake, “what immortal hand or eye, could frame thy fearful symmetry.”

Anyone hearing the cubs crying for a dead mother would not be able to deny killing babies is blasphemy. Anyone who watched the siblings hold tightly to each other in a cage would think of them not as objects to be har-vested or culled, but Jordan and Athena, orphans needing care and comfort until they are reintroduced into a habitat cordoned off from trophy hunters, or poachers hoping to sell body parts. Nearly 300,000 people have now signed a petition demanding the ministry re-instate Casavant, who was enlightened in refusing a managerial order to destroy two helpless and harmless cubs. But, the ministry, an organization that needs overhaul and ethical focus, has so far failed to do the right thing. Black Press

Federal party leaders squared off in their first TV debate Thursday, a mostly polite two-hour exchange of views on the economy, environment and mili-tary action overseas.

The environment segment was most focused on B.C., where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was pressed on stalled pipeline proposals to the west and east coasts as well as to the U.S. Harper said low world prices for energy make it the only sector that is under-performing, while the rest of the economy is growing. Green Party leader Elizabeth May urged NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to oppose the twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to its Burnaby terminal. Mulcair stuck to his position that

he will await a federal environmen-tal review. Harper noted that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has opposed capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investors, weakening the case for new gas pipelines. He said his government approved the Northern Gateway pipeline pro-posed to run to Kitimat with more than 200 conditions, because "that's how the system works." Trudeau and Harper sparred over green-house gas emission efforts, with Harper noting he moved ahead on curbing coal power plant emissions three years before U.S. President Barack Obama. Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipe-line from Alberta to southern U.S. refineries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave office next year.May said Harper is nowhere near meeting his own commitment to curb emissions, as forest fires rage and extreme weather increases all

year around. The debate modera-tor, Maclean's magazine columnist Paul Wells, asked Harper if he owes Canadians an apology for appoint-ing since-suspended senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. Harper did not apologize, saying the provinces need a consen-sus to reform the senate through elections as he proposed, or to abol-ish it. Mulcair and Trudeau oppose the current bombing missions against Islamic State terrorist tar-gets in Syria and Iraq. Mulcair said he would support military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada's NATO commit-ments. Harper said the deployment of six fighter jets with special forces support is what Canada's allies want to do, and Islamic State is a "nerve centre" for a global movement that has targeted Canada specifically.

Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, Green Party leader Elizabeth May, NDP leader Tom Mulcair and Conservative leader Stephen Harper take part in their first debate of the 2015 election campaign

It amazes me how ill informed, or how little Canadians care about domestic and international affairs regarding Canadian politics. As noted by Tom Fletcher in his feature article of the Hope Standard, we are being taken over by multi-national corporations in every aspect of society.

Because of all these international trade deals, Canada is losing its autonomy in industry, com-merce, and foreign affairs. It doesn't matter if it's NAFTA, FIPA, ETA, TPP, etc. Canada loses jobs, environmental protection, and supply management. In return we get cheap, useless consumer goods, that eventually will prove to be our Waterloo.

Let's take NAFTA for example. Because of NAFTA, we cannot put a supply management price on water. No matter how much any corpo-rate water bottling company makes, we are not allowed a share of the profits in any minuscule

amount, without offering all water distribution networks a share in the product, no matter how depressed the resource may become.

Then there's the Foreign Investment Protect Act(FIPA). This trade agreement gives The Republic of China and other Asian nations undis-puted access to all of our natural resources, as well as oil and gas.

We can not dispute them access to ANY resource in Canada. If we deny them, they have legal right to sue us for equivalent damages. If we desire to end this agreement, Canada has to give them 31 years notice.

Then there's the European Trade Agreement(ETA). This latest trade agreement with the European Union is absolutely terrify-ing dairy farmers in Quebec, and right here in the Fraser Valley. The dairy farms in France and Germany are many times larger than even

the biggest farms here in the Fraser Valley. Not only that, they are highly subsidized by their Federal Governments. There is no way that the farmers in Canada can compete with them, espe-cially when it comes to secondary products such cheese, yogurts, etc. A perfect excuse to turn our Agricultural land reserve(ALR) into a huge housing development.

Now, adding the Trans Pacific Partnership(TPP) is the mother of all trade agreements. What do we gain from these agreements? Cheaper consumer goods. What does it cost us? Jobs, autonomy, and eventual environmental catastro-phe. Why are our governments so determined to send us all to hell in a hand basket, and race us to the bottom is question you all should consider before going to the polls on Oct. 19th.

Local care for seniors falls shortHow should the “powers that be” serve the

Canadian public?” A friend of mine was sent to Hospital by ambulance in the afternoon by a home visiting nurse on Friday, July 31.

At 2 a.m. the following morning he was told that he could go home. Not only is he a senior, but he has to use a walker to get around — there was no transportation arranged for him leave. This same senior was booked for an operation at 10 a.m. the following morning with a one way transport route by Hope care transportation to his appoint-

ment. The problem with all of the above is that he was booked into Surrey Memorial Hospital, Ambulatory Day Care and no one from Hope care transporation to complete the route.

By 9:30 a.m. the very next business day, I went to their office and found a lady also trying to find transportation home.

This whole mess tells me that the health care in Hope leaves much to be desired.

62-year-old pipeline raises more than a few concerns

As concern regard-ing the health and environmental dan-gers associated with the 62-year-old pipe-line reach a high level here in B.C., I would like to make a request of the vice-president of operations to stay in close touch on the issue of said pipeline. I would ask for a reply to the following inqui-ries please:

1) First environ-mental assessment of the 62-year-old pipe: Your comment to me that "The material contained in this sec-tion outlines impor-tant legal and safety considerations when living and working around pipelines.

“It is important to note that the NEB does not authorize pub-lic access to pipeline facilities. A request for access should be directed to the pipe-line company.”

Sir, in all due respect, you must remember that liter-ally 1000s of schools, private business and highways have been built over top of this pipeline.

It is impossible for me or the millions of people that drive over the pipeline "right of way" every year to make a request for access from Kinder Morgan, every time

we cross over it. Just in the course of my business, I have crossed over the pipe 100s of times already this year. I would sug-gest that you and your colleagues take the time to travel from Kamloops to Burnaby and note the 1000s of locations where this dangerous pipe runs under schools, private homes, businesses, and highways.

In fact this pipe is ever ywhere in our lives, against our wishes.

Several recent stud-ies have confirmed my earlier contention that, considering the very dangerous mix of oil products that are "batched" down this pipeline. It is much more dangerous than most, and a "Lac-Mégantic" in the mak-ing. Hence it is only reasonable that we ask that you the NEB, to set a date now for a full safety and environ-mental assessment of this pipeline.

Note: This will be the first environmen-tal assessment of the 62 year-old-pipe: The original pipeline approval process in 1951 did not involve public consultation nor did it involve an environmental assess-ment (Kheraj 2013 [goggle].)

2) Confirm 113 barrel spill: Non-disclosure of spills by the NEB: It has been noted to me that the real size of the 26 June 2013 spill in Coquihalla Summit Park was actu-ally 113 barrels of oil, and I now seek formal confirmation from you on this. Does not the law require all spills to be reported by a) Kinder Morgan to the NEB, and b) NEB to the people of Canada? (via press release)

3) I note in your let-ter that this 26 June 2013 spill in Coquihalla Summit Park was "dis-covered by Kinder Morgan while con-ducting routine main-tenance along sections of pipe" and not by means of alarms and the "SCADA" comput-er system:

From Kinder Website: Pipeline oper-ating conditions are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by personnel in control centers using a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) computer system.

This electronic surveillance system gathers such data as pipeline pressures, volume and flow rates and the status of pumping equipments and valves. Whenever operating conditions

change, an alarm warns the operator on duty and the condition is investigated. Both automated and manual valves are strategically placed along the pipe-line system to enable the pipeline to be shut-down immediately and sections to be isolated quickly, if necessary.

Hence, I wish you to confirm that, as in the case of the recent Alberta spill, there was a malfunction of the "SCADA" equip-ment used by Kinder Morgan. What steps have been taken to correct this?

4) Inspections: Your letter also notes that ground and air inspec-tions are now "con-ducted on a weekly basis". In other words, it is up to the public to report spills, May I suggest that with so many lives and the vast Fraser ecological/eco-nomic system at risk, and the pipe getting older, that you direct Kinder Morgan to make ground inspec-tions, every day.

5) "Thinner pipe" 1953 construction problem, Coquihalla/Hope area. I would ask for a response now, to my earlier letter that you note is in your pos-session.

6) "Rip rap" car-ried away by past flood problem expos-

ing pipe(1990s?), near Hope. I would ask for a response now, to my earlier letter that you note is in your posses-sion.

7) I would like to request a copy of the "engineering assess-ments" that you note relate to the pipeline segments removed following the 26 June 2013 spill in Coquihalla Summit Park.

8) Timetable for integrity ("running the pigs") work: I note no "integrity work" has been conducted along the pipeline so far in 2015. Is this work scheduled every 2 years?

Opinion

Erin KnutsonHope Standard

Dr. James Kneller a cardiologist from the Kadlec Regional Medical Center and Trios Women’s & Children’s Hospital, recently gave a presentation to Hope Rotarians and guests at La Dolce Vita about the secret to longevity.

Kneller discussed the results of his findings on the secret to a long life for North Americans over the age of 85. The highest concentration of golden agers tends to pool geographically in B.C, with the Lower Mainland leading the pack.

“The number of centurions reaching over 100 has doubled since 1950,” said Kneller.

In the year 2060, a flood of centurions living well into their 100s is expected to reach approximately 62,000, which represents a nine-fold increase in a rapidly growing demographic.

Places like Okinawa Japan, Italy, and Costa Rica currently have the greatest number of centurions. According to Kneller’s research there are certain lifestyle practices that enhance the potential for human longevity.

“Centurions have certain features that overlap,” said Kneller. “For example the diets of these indi-viduals are often plant based.”

Drinking moderate amounts of red wine, a pinot for example, is thought to be conducive to good health, as well as people who tend to socialize, exercise and avoid a habitually sedentary lifestyle.

“There is an Okinawan idea of downshifting, minimizing and slowing down — these characteris-tics are prevalent among the culture,” he said.

The Okinawans tend to engage in a healthy social network, which includes spiritual, religious, family and tribe related activities and rituals that

lead to a higher quality of living.A significant number of personality traits were

observed in centurions, including people who were easy going, optimistic, social and who had the tendency to laugh.

“Happiness is a factor in longevity,” he said. The personality is partially due to genetics and

partially a learned factor, but on the flip side a per-son can also increase these positive traits through practice. Avoiding stress and cultivating friend-ships is also highly beneficial to regulate moods.

“Ninety per cent of us are naturally shy — it takes confidence, but trying to meet someone new everyday, and testing those social comfort zones daily is good practice for leading a healthy and lengthy life.”

Bolstering your social safety pad and choosing what you say yes to is essential. Over engaging, or placing unrealistic demands on your time is not productive, or in sync with good health.

Kneller suggests keeping a gratitude journal with the premise that being thankful is a great way to acknowledge the positive elements in your life and to increase an overall picture of well-being.

Physical activity is important because it increas-es the endorphins in the body contributing to a natural high. Significant motion patterns increase longevity — things like stretching and changing work stations (from sitting to standing) help fight the malaise of chronic sitting, prevalent in many modern jobs.

Sitting too long is now considered on par with the dangerous effects of habits like smoking.

A life in motion may help to limit cancer, heart disease, dementia and chronic illness.

Preventative measures might very well be the best medicine, according to Kneller’s research.

Happiness is a factor in longevity

10 reasons why you might be financially stressed

Nathaniel SillinFinancial Columnist

Stress can come from every-where – career, school, family, relationships, health – and espe-cially money.

Are you financially stressed? Here are 10 major signs of financial stress and ways to take action.

1. You wonder if your job is secure. Even though the econ-omy has improved in recent years, employers still cut and reassign workers and make occasional adjustments in pay and benefits. If you've spotted changes in other departments or news accounts suggest a shift in your industry, start thinking ahead. Action Plan: Build up your emergency fund to cover six months or more of basic living expenses, update your resume and get organized for a potential job search.

2. There's no money to save or invest. If meeting basic expenses is a struggle and you have no savings or investments at all, it's time for a serious review of where your money is going. Action plan: Making a basic budget is the first step to tracking every penny spent. Figure out extras you can cut and set more aside for savings and debt payoff.

3. You have disagreements with a spouse or partner about money. A 2013 University of Kansas study noted that argu-ments about money are the top predictor of divorce. Action plan: Share information about all debt and legal issues and exchange

respective credit reports and credit score data as you plan to solve all money problems together.

4. You are paying bills late. Late payments can hurt your credit score (http://www.myf-ico.com). Action plan: Set up a physical or digital calendar to keep track of payment dates and budget in order to put more money toward debt and eventu-ally savings.

5. You imagine a windfall. Waiting for a bonus, an inheri-tance or even a winning lotto ticket to ease your financial stress indicates you have a ten-dency toward financial denial. Action plan: If your current efforts at budgeting, saving money or paying off debt aren't working, consider a reality check with a qualified financial advisor.

6. You use your home equity like a cash register. Home equi-ty loans or lines of credit can provide an interest-deductible solution for a variety of impor-tant needs, but a down housing market can wipe out your equity. Action plan: Either refinance if you qualify or stop using the line entirely until you can pay down the balance.

7. You're considering draw-ing from retirement funds to solve money problems. Think twice before taking out loans against these funds. Interrupting your retirement planning, particularly over the age of 50, can have significant financial consequences. Action plan: Re-budget your finances and seek qualified advice to

help you find another solution.8. Late and overdraft fees are

piling up. According to the Pew Charitable Trusts, the average bank overdraft fee is $35; credit card late fees are similar. Action plan: Schedule bill payments and opt for online billing when possible to save time on mailing. If you have to pay additional late fees, ask your bank or credit card company if it might forgive the fee; many will remove one fee a year.

9. You're late on student loan payments. It is difficult to have student loans (https://studen-taid.ed.gov/sa/) forgiven, can-celled or discharged (eliminat-ed) in bankruptcy if you can't pay. Paying late can also hurt your credit score. Action Plan: Seek qualified financial advice that specifically addresses the type of student debt you have and resolve to pay bills on time.

10. Your accounts are disor-ganized. It's difficult to reach important financial goals when you really can't track your finances. Action plan: Get some advice from a trusted friend or a qualified financial professional about how to best organize your accounts and whether online account management may be right for you.

Bottom line: Reducing your financial stress is a healthy deci-sion. Review your money habits and get qualified help if neces-sary to lessen this burden.

EntertainmentForbidden finally comes home

Erin KnutsonHope Standard

Local resident Tanna Marie Angers brings her paranor-mal/fantasy romance to life in Forbidden, a novel that takes place in the beautiful town of Hope. It’s part one of her four part Wild Sky series.

Tanna was born in Hope on August 6, 1983 at the Fraser Canyon Hospital, and spent some time in Rosedale before she moved back to Hope to live with her grandmother at age 14.

The soft spoken elfin-like mother of three Noah (aged 7,) Casey (aged 6) and Sophie (aged 3) knew that she wanted to be a writer as early as seven years old, when a teacher told her she was going to be famous after reading one of her poems.

“It was something about a rainbow — I remember bringing it up to her and tripping over a garbage can and then apologiz-ing to it,” she told the Hope Standard.

The gifted poetess used to write poems and give them to people.

“I still have people who come up to me 20 years later and tell me that my poetry touched their lives,” she said.

After submitting a four line poem entitled Grizzly Bear, Tanna won first place out of 25,000 Canadian entrants to be published in a Robert Bateman calendar and to attend a con-cert with him.

“I never really tried to publish anything, I just wrote for myself.”

The dark haired, fair skinned and blue eyed author has Cree and Dutch heritage and her last name is very French, it has a soft pronunciation that sounds almost like angel, not anger.

“I tried to learn Cree — if there was one language I would want to learn it would be Cree. I love how they believe in stuff like nature — there’s a lot of it in my book, when I use nature it’s because it’s there,” she said.

The idea for the book came to her one morning over coffee.“It was a thing that came into me and I was like, oh, I guess

I’m writing a book — it was just an overwhelming feeling, I sat with the sensation for a few minutes, got a pen and began to write. I knew that it was going to be a love story,” she said.

Inspired by “Sweater Weather” a song written by The Neighborhood, the Hope native was compelled to write in a

furious and passionate way.“I couldn’t stop writing, it was an obsession and I wrote

every moment that I could and there were a lot of sleepless nights, or waiting until the kids went to bed, or waiting until they were quiet,” she told the Hope Standard about writing as a single mother of three.

The innovative mom wrote her first draft on big sheets of paper and folded them into four, writing the first draft com-pletely by hand.

“I had to eventually put them on the computer, so I kind of learnt my lesson — I really try to go to the computer, other-wise you have to rewrite everything.

Aira the heroine in her romance, didn’t reveal her name to the author until later on.

“At first I didn’t even know her name — I basically had to deepen her character and deepen her as a person,” she said. “I wanted to write a female character that was strong and I needed something for people to relate to as well,” she said.

Israel, the love interest of Aira came to Tanna first, as she tried to figure out how to start the story, and how the pair were going to meet, eventually deciding upon a meet cute, which readers will have to find out by read-ing the book. No spoilers here.

“I gave Aira my grandparents to deep-en her character,” she said on the only

element she used from her own life to give Aira structure and a sense of realism.

Tanna described the writing process as a heal-ing journey and a respon-sibility to help others through the real emotion-al qualities and struggles her characters experience in the book.

“It was my intention to help people in a light way, there is a lot of dark-ness in the world — the more time you spend with Israel, the more you look at his strengths, and how the darkness went from the outside of him to the inside and back again.”

Inspiration for Tanna comes from experience, impressions, imagina-tion and even local folk-lore (she spoke candidly of a mystical family that once lived near Alexandra Bridge who were over seven feet tall, albino and stayed separate from peo-ple.) Often picturing an entire scene in her mind she writes from the vision, almost like a movie reel in her head.

“When I’m writing something I see the whole thing, all I have to do is sit and start writing — I can see everything around me and I can feel the energy. If a scene is wrong, or not put togeth-er properly, I will get this overwhelmingly bad feel-ing and I won’t leave until it’s fixed.”

Fighting the good fight, Tanna reworked the book

several times with her editor. She knew it was good news when her editor said the first draft might not be the next great Canadian novel, but that it had potential.

With the support of family and friends and the love of her children, Tanna per-severed and the book was published by FriesenPress publishing in Victoria B.C.

“I needed to be able to do something for my kids — when I wanted to give up, or put it in the garbage I thought about my kids.”

On finishing her first novel, Tanna imparted that it was like putting down something real, something tangible, like a good friend or a warm sweater on a cold night.

“I know they’re not real, but when you’re

with them it feels like it, and I’ve never been more excited that they’re my characters. I look forward to every story that I will write with them.”

Forbidden is currently available to order online, or to order from 35,000 different bookstores.

32-year-old Hope based author Tanna Marie Angers recently released her novel“Forbidden” the first of the Wild Sky four part series.

“Luctor et emergo” or “struggle and emerge” could certainly be the motto for the spawning steelhead trout in the Coquihalla River this month. Nature has given them a burning desire to reach the section of the river where they first appeared as fry — despite a huge obstacle that lies in their path.

The river may be lower than usual for this time of year but the waterfalls below the upstream bridge at the Quintette Tunnels are still a formidable challenge.

Monday, the pool below the falls had 30 to 50 steelhead — the sea-going version of rainbow trout — waiting in the slow water, perhaps restoring their strength and reviewing their failed attempts.

In one leap, they have to make it up about a three-metre rise. If they are lucky or skillful enough to do it, they still have to swim hard in the small pool above the falls, to avoid being swept back down. Once out of that pool, they’ll have relatively easy swimming and access to about 50 km of the upper river, as well as its tributaries.

The worst of the falls is a section that seems to have the full flow of the river merging through a space the diameter of a semi-truck’s tire. It seems impossible, yet the determined fish somehow find a way.

Hope resident Marla Rosenberg says her grandson Ben Gladue has seen some steelhead this year in the Schoolhouse Rocks pool, a few kilometres upstream of the falls.

Time after time on Monday, they were knocked back down — some smacking their “steel” heads against the smooth granite walls of the canyon. Though they still failed to emerge at the top of the falls, the best efforts were from the leapers that avoided the water and tried to flap their way up the face of the north-side rocks.

One good-sized fish made it more than two thirds of the way with this approach, before falling back.

I have to think they learn by trial and error, as they do eventually make it through — even in years when the water flow is higher… just not when I’m watching.

These are good-looking, healthy specimens, with none of the fungus and rotting flesh that can set in on their salmon cousins. Unlike Pacific salmon, the steelhead can potentially survive the spawning session and return to the ocean for further cycles.

Photographing the leapers is a challenge for a number of reasons — one being the random timing of their leaps. You’ve only got a second or two to react, once you see a fish appear. Before that, you’d best have your focus locked on the spot that you think the fish will jump at. Sometimes you get lucky and the fish cooperate.

Focusing on white, moving water may cause your camera to stall. If it can’t lock focus, aim at the rocks beside the falls and half-press the shutter to lock focus. You may also have the option of a manual focus mode.

Using a tighter f-stop, such as F/4 or F/5.6 will give you a better depth-of-field and more chance of getting your fish in focus. Unfortunately, this will slow your shutter down — and you can’t have a slow shutter with fast-moving fish. I’d recommend going into manual control mode and selecting F/4 and a minimum of 1/1000th of a second shutter. You’ll need to up your ISO or “film speed” until the camera’s meter is happy with the exposure. You can also use “auto ISO” if you have that option.

Almost done with the settings: your camera may not believe the bright-ness of the water and want to automatically darken your photos. Counteract that with manual settings or use “exposure compensation” of +1 or +2 to correct the brightness.

If you’ve got a motor-drive, crank it up to the maximum speed and fire a burst of three or four shots when the fish appear.

If you’re agile and a little brave, you can carefully climb down below the falls on the north side to get a better angle for shooting. If not, do your best from the bridge.

Remember your video mode as well. Take 10 to 15-second clips and hope that a fish appears. If not, stop and start again. I took about 10 of these recordings before a leaper appeared near the end of a clip.

I threw out the useless clips and was left with a short one that won’t need editing.

To get to the tunnels, you can drive past Kawkawa Lake to the tunnels parking lot at Othello — or you can go in the back way by walking or cycling 4.5 km along the Kettle Valley Trail, which begins at the south end of Kettle Valley Road.

Steelhead trout stuggle to emerge during spawning season

Steelhead trout are putting on a show for visitors at the Coquihalla Quintette Tunnels. The fish have to make it up a seemingly-impassable 3-metre rise to gain access to spawning grounds above the falls.
