Whale watching community in shock Kendra Wong Victoria News
Victoria’s whale watching community is shocked and saddened after a whale watching vessel capsized near Tofino, killing five people last week. On Sunday, the MV Leviathan II, operated by Jamie’s Whaling Station, was on a whale watching expedition when it sank west of Vargas Island. Twenty-one people were sent to
hospital and one person is still missing. According to the B.C. Coroner’s Service, Katie Taylor, 29, who lived in Whistler, Jack Slater, 76, who lived in Toronto, Nigel Francis Hooker, David Wyndham Thomas and his 18-yearold son Stephen David Thomas from England were killed in the accident. The tragedy has left Victoria’s tight-knit whale watching community saddened. “Devastated, dumbfounded, shocked.
All of the above, any adjective you can come up with to describe ‘did that really just happen’?” said Brett Soberg, co-owner and operator of Eagle Wing Tours, who heard about the incident on social media. “We offer our condolences to the staff at Jamie’s and the families that are going through this tragedy.” PLEASE SEE: Freak accident, Page A3
For the last three years, Shelley Fillipoff has often found herself feeling sick and distraught. The items that belong to her daughter Emma are packed in boxes and stored at her Perth, Ontario home. They’re a constant reminder that Emma has now been missing for three years. Consisting of books, clothing, shells, rocks, art work, several pieces of writing and a journal that paints a picture of a mentally distraught young woman, Shelley hasn’t gone through the boxes since they were packed and moved from Victoria to Ontario in the summer of 2013. Eight months prior, she was supposed to be moving Emma back home, but she’s still nowhere to be found. “I felt that having her things close to me would make me feel better and it actually has made me feel worse,” said Shelley with a shaky
voice. “When I look at the boxes I think to myself, this is what remains of Emma?” Described as a free spirited intelligent woman with a love for life, Emma left Ontario in the fall of 2011 and headed for Victoria to experience life on the West Coast. She was 25 at the time and had no home or job lined up prior. Her plan was to figure things out when she arrived. The five-foot-five Emma with long brown hair was a private person who shared little about her new life with her family back home. Her main communication was through emails with the odd phone call in between. “Everything was always wonderful and beautiful, life couldn’t be better,” said Shelley, noting Emma was a master at hiding any problems. “I know she was couch surfing and did all kinds of different jobs. She really wanted to pursue her art and her writing, even though she had worked as a chef. I think the plan was to make enough money to live on for a while, pursue her passions and go back to work when she needed to.” PLEASE SEE: Mom won’t give up, Page A3

Mom won’t give up search for missing daughter Continued from Page A1
Things changed one night in November 2012 when Shelley received a phone call from Emma, who revealed she had been staying at a women’s shelter. The pair began speaking off and on, with Emma mentioning on a few occasions she wanted to come home. One conversation was particularly emotional when Emma confided she couldn’t make the move on her own because she had too much stuff. For Emma to reach out and ask for help was unusual, said Shelley, who booked a plane ticket and told her daughter she’d be there as soon as possible. The next morning, however, Emma called again, advising her mother not to come, she was just having a bad day and would figure things out on her own. But Shelley could sense something was terribly wrong. “There’s no way she would have called me in tears like that had it just been a rough day,” said Shelley. “I was very distraught. I wanted to go right away, but for every call that would come, shortly after I would get one that said please don’t come.” Despite her daughter’s requests, Shelley booked a plane ticket and flew to

Emma Fillipoff was last seen outside the Fairmont Empress Hotel on the evening of Nov. 28, 2012. said. “They had made a call to a mental health facility and were told to keep an eye on her if she got worse.” Shelley later learned Emma had left the shelter earlier that morning and was last spotted a few hours earlier, walking barefoot on the cold street by the Empress Hotel. Her red Mazda 1993 van was found in the Chateau Victoria parking lot with almost all her belongings
Victoria on Nov. 28. She arrived at the shelter Emma had been staying only to discover she wasn’t there. Shelley noticed staff were unsettled that Emma had not shown up to claim her bed that night and had been witnessing her behaviour significantly change in recent weeks. “She was paranoid, she was doing bizarre things like disposing of all her clothing as if she was planning her suicide,” she
inside. Shelley never imagined the next two months would be spent searching for the daughter she was preparing to bring home — and would never see again. “I was so distraught. I would go out believing I was going to go around a corner and find her. I believed that it wouldn’t be long before our paths would cross,” said Shelley, who posted flyers throughout the area
and soon had a group of volunteers that helped with the search. But there was no sign of Emma, who had purchased a pre paid cellphone and a pre paid credit card for $200 on the day she went missing, leaving her loved ones even more confused. Three years later, Shelley isn’t any closer to finding Emma and grapples with all the unanswered questions on a regular basis. Given Emma’s mental health
problems, her mother hasn’t ruled out the possibility of suicide, but questions why she would purchase a cell phone and credit card if she was planning to end her life. With so little information, Shelley figures there’s a 50 per cent chance Emma is still alive and doing well, and a 50 per cent chance she’s dead or being held against her will. Thinking about all the possible scenarios sends Shelley’s mind spinning into overdrive. The case has garnered national attention and was the focus of an episode of the CBC’s The Fifth Estate in November 2014. A $25,000 reward for information leading to Emma’s whereabouts is still up for grabs, but so far there has been little response. A billboard will also be posted Nov. 1 along the highway leading to Swartz Bay. “It’s completely debilitating. Finding her alive will be closure. Finding her not alive will not provide closure,” said Shelley, who’s biggest fear is that people will forget about Emma, which is why she purchased a billboard. “All I have is hope. She crosses my mind every single day. I walk around in a bit of a fog. It feels as if I have a lead blanket on top of me.” editor@vicnews.com
Freak accident could have happened anywhere Continued from Page A1
Another Victoria whale watching company said they were deeply saddened by the news. The cause of the sinking is still under investigation, however preliminary information by the Transportation Safety Board indicates a rogue wave struck the vessel, causing it to roll and capsize. Soberg said it was a freak accident that could happen anywhere, but was quick to note the difference in Tofino’s water conditions compared to Victoria.
“There’s always that finite chance that something could go wrong, but we all do our best to mitigate any potential issues.” - Brett Soberg
Typically on the west coast of Vancouver Island, vessels are subjected to more of a mountainous swell, which can be more like “big hills rolling at you,” said Soberg, adding he’s never operated a vessel in waters off Tofino.

Transport Canada. On a regular basis, Soberg said companies complete daily visual inspections such as checking vessels for leaking fluids or some mechanical part showing signs of fatigue. Eagle Wing Tours has had a few cancellations since the incident occurred, but Soberg said they won’t know what kind of effect the incident will have on local businesses yet. There are currently 34 whale watching companies operating in the Pacific Northwest. kendra.wong@vicnews.com
In Victoria, waters are more protected with landmasses breaking down the energy of the wind resulting in more choppy conditions. “I suppose anything is possible, similarly hopping on a bus, getting into your car or popping onto a plane,” said Soberg, adding they’ve had a perfect safety record in Victoria. “There’s always that very, very finite chance that something could go wrong, but we all do our best to mitigate any potential issues.” Victoria operators go through annual inspections and operators are cleared by

Youth shelter now open Muslim and Christians working the streets and direct youth to community resources that can help improve their lives over the long term.” Each night, the shelter rotates among host sites in an effort to maximize resources. Two trained shelter staff work at the shelter and volunteers serve as shelter helpers or drop off a hot cooked meal for the youth. Meals are typically donated by volunteer groups that commit to provide one meal per month. The youth shelter opened in the winter of 1998 and has run every winter since then. Last year, Out of the Rain served approximately 250 youth.
The Out of the Rain shelter is once again opening its doors to help homeless youth during the winter months. The seasonal shelter opened Oct. 15 and will serve youth ages 15 to 25, from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. every day until April 15. “As we move closer to winter, hundreds of youth will be desperate for a safe, dry, warm place to sleep,” said Beacon Community Services CEO Bob Boulter. “The shelter gives that to as many as 30 people a night.

Tofino tragedy hits close to home The worst tragedy in Tofino’s history has left people across the world shaking their heads in disbelief and shock. On Sunday, the MV Leviathan II, operated by Jamie’s Whaling Station, was on a whale watching expedition when it sank west of Vargas Island. Five people, including three British tourists were killed, while 21 people were sent to hospital. One British tourist is still missing. The cause of the sinking is still under investigation, however preliminary information by the Transportation Safety Board indicates a rogue wave struck the vessel, causing it to roll and capsize. It’s an incident that has shocked the small town of less than 2,000 people and drawn a media frenzy unlike any of its residents have seen. For many, the tragedy is one that hits close to home. Victoria has its own tight-knit whale watching community, which is a draw for hundreds of tourists year-round and a huge contributor to the city’s tourism industry. Brett Soberg, co-owner and operator of Eagle Wing Tours, said he was deeply shocked and saddened by the news. And rightfully so. It’s difficult to believe a magnificent holiday activity, in search of some of nature’s most beautiful creatures, could turn so deadly so fast — and in a neighbouring community so well-known for its whale watching experiences. Tofino is more than 300 kilometres away from Victoria, but with such a close whale watching community on Vancouver Island — the tragedy is one that effects residents and industry professional here as well. It will be some time before the victims’ families get closure, but for those of us in Victoria, we’ll be holding out breaths, hoping this never happens again.

Readers respond: Technology solution for dangerous intersections The article, Victoria’s Most Dangerous Intersections, from Sept. 23, highlighted two high-accident intersections, Hillside at Shelbourne and Douglas at Finlayson. They are but the tip of the iceberg. Almost all intersections in Victoria are “dangerous,” especially those with dedicated advance left turn signals. Equally universal is the fact that it is not the intersection that is dangerous but the drivers who are too self-important to wait through a light cycle. For example, about a week ago, I was heading north on Blanshard and stopped at Tolmie. The advance arrow came on, several vehicles went through safely. When it turned yellow, a few more vehicles scrambled through. Then it turned red and a large BMW SUV, over a car-length behind the stop line, blasted through. Later that day, at another intersection, I was waiting to make a left turn. The light turned yellow, a couple of vehicles quite reasonably came through. Then, just as it turned red, a pick-up truck rushed through, giving me the finger. What is the solution? Technology. functioning red-light cameras at major intersections. Similarly, “dangerous” highways would be infinitely safer with average speed cameras. These are not the old photo-radar cameras, easily spotted and even pin-pointed by some radio stations. They have sensibly been
discontinued. Average speed camersa, common in the U.K. and across Europe, pin-point the time at which you enter or leave an intersection. Next intersection, same again. If you arrive at the second one before you could have if you had obeyed the speed limit, obviously you have been speeding somewhere between them. Expensive to install extensively? Certainly, but the way some people drive, the traffic fines would pay for them very quickly. Iain Barr Victoria
Election campaign too long While viewing the televised results of Canada’s 42nd federal election on Monday Oct. 19th, I heard sweet sounds of Roy Orbison playing repeatedly in my cranial Wurlitzer Jukebox. The Texas tenor’s tune It’s Over perfectly expressed my feelings about the too long 78-day campaign, and the too long Tory ten-year tenure. As I watched frenzied talking heads on the TV screen, memorable movie and literary quotes crept into that wizened and overworked little cavity between my ears: “You can’t handle the truth,” Jack Nicholson’s sneering line in A Few Good Men seemed to fit Stephen Harper — who vainly attempted to be an attractive candidate. He appeared desperate for any kind of support late in the campaign, posing for photos with the notorious and controversial family who
lead Ford Nation in Toronto, and offering up yet another murderous rendition of yet another great Beatles’ tune Let It Be in Montreal. “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate,” the final words from Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke would regrettably be accredited to Thomas Mulcair — whose three-and-a-half stellar years as leader of the official opposition didn’t translate to popular support on the campaign trail, for some unfortunate reason. “Carpe Diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary,” were Robin’s Williams’ words of wisdom from Dead Poets Society and seemed custom-made for jubilant Justin Trudeau — whom voters believed to really be ready, despite those many negative adverts that suggested the exact opposite for so very long. Now comes the shouting, and the inevitable question of how long before campaign promises are broken. It seems that hope overcame fear, despite the many distractions. Desmond Tutu once said: “Hope is being able to see there is light, despite all of the darkness.” Canadians are thankful to see the campaigns are over, and to shine the light across the 49th parallel where the excited states of America have just under 400 days remaining in the presidential election campaigns.

Thyroid Diseases The thyroid is a small gland located below the Adam’s apple in your neck. Thyroid diseases sometimes result from inappropriate TSH levels, or may be caused by problems in the thyroid gland itself. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Turn back your clocks. Turn in your batteries. This fall, take steps to keep your family safe and make a positive impact on the environment for Daylight Saving Time. • Change the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
Hypothyroidism results in low levels of T4 and T3 in blood. Not having enough T4 and T3 in the blood causes your metabolism to slow down. If hypothyroidism isn’t treated, the symptoms will progress. Hyperthyroidism results in high levels of T4 and T3 circulating in the blood. These hormones speed up your metabolism. Thyroid disease is diagnosed through laboratory tests and a physical exam. The usual treatment for hypothyroidism is thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Hyperthyroidism can be treated with iodine (including radioactive iodine), anti-thyroid medications or surgery.
• Test your alarms and check expiry dates. • Recycle your used batteries.

How can you, the consumer, get all the information you need to make an informed decision?
Even though Steve Palen was faced with death for a long time, he never spoke about it. Palen had been living with Hepatitis C, which attacks the liver, for more than four decades, when he was also diagnosed with liver cancer in 2007. “My wife Liz and I put a downpayment on a condo that was being built and we weren’t sure if I was going to make it. We didn’t talk about it too much, but we knew the possibility was there,” said the 62-year-old Victoria resident. “It’s scary. At first you think ‘oh my god’. But I’m a positive person, and I wasn’t going to let it get me
down.” Doctors in Nanaimo, where he was living at the time, told him they couldn’t do anything else for him. It wasn’t until Palen met Dr. Paul Sobkin, clinical section head, angiography/ interventional radiology at Royal Jubilee Hospital, that things took a turn for the better. Sobkin told Palen there was hope and that he needed to be put on a transplant list — an option not presented to him by his previous doctors. Sobkin then began using the interventional angiography system to perform two treatments on Palen. First, Sobkin injected the tumours with
alcohol and when that method was no longer effective, he found the arteries that supplied the tumours, filled them with chemotherapy and closed them off to deprive them of their blood supply. Using the angiography system, it kept the cancer under control until Palen eventually received a liver transplant in 2012. “Without those treatments, I wouldn’t have been able to last long,” Palen said. “Dr. Sobkin saved my life.” Palen is just one of thousands of patients who have benefited from procedures done by the angiography system. However, the roughly 13-year-old “work horse” machine

is outdated and the Victoria Hospitals Foundation has launched a campaign to help raise the $1.5 million needed to purchase two new medical imaging systems for Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals. Currently, doctors at both hospitals use the machines for roughly 10 to 12 procedures a day. The new minimallyevasive machine allows doctors to see inside blood vessels and internal organs, providing virtually realtime images as doctors manipulate catheters. It can be used for more than 60 simple to lifesaving procedures to treat a variety of conditions such as stroke, renal failure and osteoporosis. “By giving us better images, better accuracy, it gives us greater confidence to expand the scope of our cases to maybe people we wouldn’t have been able to treat before and allows us to take on new projects,” Sobkin said. “It’s a workhorse. It’s used day-in and dayout. It’s very broadly applied and a lot of people can benefit from it.” The hospitals hope to have the equipment up and running by the new year. Contributions can be made by calling 250-519-1750, online at victoriahf.ca or mailing to Wilson Block (1952 Bay St., Victoria.). kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra celebrates 30 years work on all sides,” said Aloni. “It’s all new to them. Sometimes it could be the first time they play a certain composer. There’s no cynicism involved.
There’s an incredible sense of discovery every time.” This year the youth orchestra will perform three concerts at the University Centre
Farquhar Auditorium. The first kicks off on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 2:30 p.m., and the other two shows take place March 6 and May 1. The youth will
perform pieces from famous composers such as Humperdinck, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. The youth orchestra is also planning a
special show with the Victoria Symphony in January. For more information visit gvyo. org. editor@vicnews.com

The Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra will kick off its season Nov. 1.
Pamela Roth Victoria News
In the summer of 1986, distinguished British musician Stuart Knussen sat down with a few teachers and parents to confide his passion to found a youth orchestra in Victoria. He wanted young musicians to discover the joy of bringing to life the great masterpieces of music. Knussen’s dream soon grew into a reality when 40 young musicians came together to rehearse Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony. Thus the Greater Victoria Youth Orchestra (GVYO) was born. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the GVYO, which music director Yariv Aloni has been part of for the last 13 years. The youngest of the 65 musicians are 12 years old and the oldest are in university. They hail from various areas throughout Greater Victoria and gather
every Saturday morning for rehearsal. “It’s an incredible dedication,” said Aloni, adding the young musicians have to audition to be in the orchestra. Every year there’s almost a 30 per cent turn over in musicians,
“It takes great patience and a lot of love and a good sense of humour and of course incredibly hard work on all sides.” - Yariv Aloni
creating a constant learning curve for Aloni and the fresh crop of new faces. The pieces they perform are the same as a professional orchestra, he added, but many of the musicians have never performed with 65 other people. “It takes great patience and a lot of love and a good sense of humour and of course incredibly hard

All-new Civic a premium experience at compact price Alliston, On – Honda has pulled out all the stops to guarantee its all-new flagship Civic continues as Canada’s top-selling car for the 18th consecutive year. The first sedan rolled off the line at the Alliston plant in Ontario last week and yours truly had the opportunity to put 200 kilometres on the clock of an early production model. Truly, it is hard to imagine the manufacturer’s position in the compact market segment faces any serious challenge. Early examination suggests the tenth generation Civic will set a new benchmark in looks, performance, safety and fuel economy, to name but four areas important to today’s car buyers. The base model, which includes a list of standard features that mock its lowly position in the model pecking order, lists at just $15,750 (excluding taxes). The loaded Touring version doesn’t come close to 30 grand with its base sticker price of $26,990. On the business side, this car is a major Canadian business coup as it’s the first time Honda has designated a plant outside of Japan
as the lead location for the manufacture of any product, let alone its most successful model. “Civic is a vehicle that

’’
Canadians have grown to trust. This tenth generation model will continue to set a new benchmark in the compact class with fun-to-drive performance, fuel efficiency and safety performance, together with a new level of refinement,” said a proud Jerry Chenkin, president and CEO, Honda Canada Inc. “Canadians can also take
pride in knowing that every Civic coupe, sedan and Si model sold in Canada is made right here in Ontario, for Canadians, by Canadians.” More than 4.5 million Civics have been built at the facility since 1988 and sales in Canada exceed 1.89 million units. The sedan is the first in a series of models that will also include a coupe, high-performance Si models, a 5-door hatchback and the first-ever Civic Type-R model for the Canadian market. Set alongside an original model from the 1970s that greeted us at the launch location two hours away at Blue Mountain resort, in Collingwood, the sleek car that goes on sale next month looks like a car from a highspeed computer game. A Civic is now rolling off the line at the rate of one every 63 seconds during each day’s production, so a variety of versions should hit the media test fleets soon. Therefore a more comprehensive review will follow when there’s an opportunity to put the different trims through their paces in local conditions. However, here are some quick initial observations,
DrivewayCanada.ca |
Visit the new Honda Civic gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca first on performance. Two new engines are introduced: a 2.0-litre i-VTEC power plant propels the base DX with the assistance of a six-speed manual transmission. The LX/EX ditto though there’s a choice of manual transmission or Continuously Variable Transmission (auto) in the LX and the EX gets the CVT. The EX-T and Touring versions get the turbocharged 1.5-litre DOHC direct-injected engine 1.5-litre The anticipated fuel economy ratings for the 1.5 with CVT is expected to be around 7.6/5.5/6.7 (L/100km) (city/highway/combined) and for the 2.0/CVT 7.8/5.8/6.9 (L/100km).
The Touring trim tester I spun through rural Ontario drew its zip from the impressive 1.5-litre turbo unit. It moved smoothly through a much-improved CVT when accelerating on the flat and did not continuously search for the right gear on long inclines, as earlier examples typically did. It’s a global car so its design and performance were benchmarked against the best prestige European cars and it shows. Opening up on the rural route was a pleasure and despite the less than smooth road surface under the wheels, the cabin was remarkably quiet at speed and every bump was softened by the car’s
suspension. The wheels are pushed to the four corners and the car has been lengthened providing great human cargo space for five, especially noticeable in the rear passenger area, and the trunk will swallow the week’s Big Shop at the grocery store. The interior is somewhat more refined and though the materials used are clearly better than previous models they are perhaps not as deluxe or soft-touch as Honda boats. Not a deal breaker though. In terms of tech toys, the optional touchscreen/audio system is compatible with Android Auto2 and Apple CarPlay3 thus enabling you
to connect your smart phone seamlessly. Wireless charging is also an option! The use of an electronic parking brake creates much more space for the centre console, which can easily take two large cups of java and your tablet of choice. Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistive technologies are available and a closer look at those will feature in our full review. A novelty that will be appreciated in colder climes will be the remote start option that, in addition, automatically sets the car temperature to 22 degrees Celsius.

Former Victoria resident completes walk for palliative care Kendra Wong Victoria News
Ian Bos and Jacquie Brennan walk towards the the finish line for Ian’s Walk For Endof-Life Care at Mile Zero Monday. Bos walked more than 150 days and 6,000 kilometres from Nova Scotia to Victoria in support of palliative socities across Canada. Kendra Wong/Victoria News
Ian Bos has never had so many people watch him lace up his sneakers. On Monday, Bos wrapped up Ian’s Walk For End-of-Life Care where he walked from his hometown of New Glasglow, Nova Scotia to Victoria to raise awareness and more than $25,000 for palliative societies across Canada. The 6,000-kilometre journey ended at Mile
Zero with Bos dipping his feet in the Pacific Ocean. “I feel incredible. We met so many amazing people and I really feel good about all the awareness that we’ve raised with our partners all across the country,” Bos said, after lacing up his sneakers. “People of palliative and hospice care are so dedicated. Shining the spotlight on them is a real honour for me.” Bos, a 39-yearold former Victoria
“People of palliative and hospice care are so dedicated. Shining the spotlight on them is a real honour for me.” — Ian Bos
resident, began his cross-country journey in memory of his late father, Ted, who passed away from cancer in January. Through the assistance of the Aberdeen Palliative Care Society in Nova Scotia, the family was able to keep Ted at home before he passed — something that meant the world to them. On May 21, armed with a 50-pound backpack full of food, clothing, a sleeping bag, water, and his mother’s walking stick, Bos set out on his journey, walking an average of 40 km a day and sleeping in a tent on the side of the road. The most challenging part of the walk was the emotional toll, hearing the stories of people who were suffering from loss and grief, and the care they received from palliative care workers in various cities including Ottawa, Nanaimo, Vancouver, Langley and Chilliwack. More than 150 days (and six pairs of sneakers) later, Bos, hand-in-hand with his mother, crossed the finish line. “He’s done an
amazing job. I’m very proud,” said his mother Nancy. “(Palliative care) is a good topic to be discussed and you talk about it and move on and enjoy your life.” Bos was also welcomed by his former Victoria colleagues and members of Victoria Hospice. Douglas McGregor, medical director with Victoria Hospice, said Bos has attracted national attention for hospice palliative care issues. “I think the public has a vague idea of what palliative care and what end-of-life is about and I think there needs to be some public education and public engagement so that they understand more that is offered and what people’s options are towards end-oflife,” McGregor said. “Hospice palliative care is expanding, but it’s still only meeting in the best circumstances about 40 per cent of the population need.” While Bos’ journey has ended, he said there’s more work to be done to make palliative care accessible to everyone. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Victoria girls teaching others to give back Kendra Wong Victoria News
Lily Coté and Ella Stanger are out to change the world — and they're only 11 years old. Coté and Stanger formed 100 Girls Who Care Victoria, where girls between the ages of eight to 13 give back to the community. It is the first chapter of its kind for girls in the world. “In the start of June, I heard about 100 Women Who Care Victoria and I starting thinking there should be one for girls so girls can make a positive change too,” said Coté, a Grade 6 student at Monterey Middle School. She began working on the idea and eventually asked her friend Ella to be the vice chair. “It's pretty cool seeing that if we all come together we can make a bigger difference, bigger change,” Coté said. One-hundred Girls who Care is an extension of 100 Women Who Care Victoria, in which both Coté and Stanger's moms, Angela and Diane, are a part of. Three times a year, a group of girls get together with a donation of $1 to $10 and collectively decide which local organization to donate the funds to.
After creating a logo, they handed out flyers in their neighbourhoods and schools, encouraging other girls to get involved as well. In September, their months of hard work came to fruition and the girls had their first meeting. At the 24 Carrot Learning Centre, between 25 to 30 girls attended the meeting where they decided to donate more than $218 to KidSport, a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to kids interested in sports. “Everyone brought some money and it ended up being a lot. I think it was better than I thought it would be,” said Stanger, a Grade 6 student at Glenlyon Norfolk School. “We're pretty fortunate and that's because our community and parents give to us so we need to give back.” The girls planned, organized and ran the meeting without the help of their parents — something Lily's mom, Angela said is teaching them life lessons that can't be learned in the classroom. “It gives them a purpose and I think what they're learning through doing this is as valuable as what they learn in school,” she said. “As they go on,
they're going to learn more about the littler organizations such as the Umbrella Society and Rainbow Kitchen that 100 Women have learned about. It's learning about those causes and how to help in the community.” Since 100 Women Who Care Victoria began, it has raised thousands of dollars
for local organizations. Most recently, it raised $27,000 for Victoria Hospice. The next girls meeting is planned in January or February and another in the spring. For more information visit the Facebook page 100 Girls Victoria or email 100girlsvictoria@ gmail.com. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Christ Church Cathedral inducts first female dean Kendra Wong Victoria News
The Christ Church Cathedral has inducted its first female dean and rector, just in time to mark the cathedral's 150th anniversary. Two weeks ago, Rev. M. Ansley Tucker was formally installed and inducted as the Dean of Columbia and Rector of the Cathedral, which is the cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of British Columbia. “I'm honoured to be invited into this position of trust and leadership,” said Tucker, who has been an Anglican priest for 35 years. Tucker was originally born in Victoria, where she attended primary school. She completed her first degree in nursing, but quickly learned she was not cut out for the job. “Sometimes your heart is somewhere else,” laughed Tucker. From there, she earned her masters
degree in divinity and theology from Trinity College at the University of Toronto. Tucker spent 12 years as Rector of Church of the Redeemer in Toronto. Following other parish and academic positions in Toronto, she moved to Calgary in 2005 to serve at Calgary's Christ Church, where she lived for the past 10 years. Now Tucker, who started in July with the Christ Church Cathedral, hopes the church will become a voice for people who are not heard or are dismissed in Victoria. “When you walk out the doors of the cathedral, you can see very clearly the needs the church needs to be addressing,” she said. “We're very concerned about our interaction with the wider community with issues related to homelessness and particularly child poverty.” Along with welcoming a new dean, the cathedral is celebrating its 150th anniversary, since it was designated Christ Church as the Cathedral of the Diocese of British Columbia by Bishop
“We’re very concerned about our interaction with the wider community with issues related to homelessness and particularly child poverty.” —Rev. M. Ansley Tucker
George Hills on Dec. 7, 1865. The year-long celebrations included an exhibit and auction of work by the late Ted Harrison, which drew thousands of people to the church in April, and a soldout concert by worldrenowned classical pianist Angela Hewitt
in May. The events culminated in Tucker's induction. The cathedral also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Hellmuth Wolff organ. “This event marks a long period of transition at the cathedral,” said Ian Alexander, rector's warden. “We're certainly very

Pump up the heat with heat pumps Heat pumps help radiate warmth throughout house Jacob Zinn Black Press
As the temperature drops outside, residents are sure to be turning up the thermostat inside — but how much is that extra heat costing them? If they have a heat pump, the cost may not be that much, according to Chris Schmidt of Island Basement Systems and Dr. Energy Saver. Compared to other heat sources, Schmidt said heat pumps have a significant financial benefit because of their efficiency. “When you look at all the different factors of your energy consumption, whether it’s oil or natural gas or propane or solar or woodburning stoves or heat pumps, heat pumps have the best efficiency rating of them all,” he said. “If you put a dollar of electricity into a baseboard heater, you’ll get a dollar’s worth of heat out of it, whereas a heat pump, you put in a dollar’s worth of electricity, you’ll get two to three dollars’ worth of heat out of it.”
“When you look at all the different factors of your energy consumption . . . heat pumps have the best efficiency rate of all of them.” — Chris Schmidt
Heat pumps extract remnant heat from outside, condense it and carry it indoors through refrigerant-filled coils. The heat is then distributed throughout different rooms, gradually bringing up the temperature. A mini split — a specific type of heat pump — similarly carries heat through coils to a central location of the house, with the heat expanding to other rooms. “It just radiates heat throughout the whole house,” said Schmidt of the mini split. “Usually they’ll install one in the living room or the kitchen, some common big area, and it basically spreads the heat throughout the house.” Schmidt said the type of heat pump people should use depends on the size of the house and whether the homeowner is replacing or augmenting an existing furnace. He also said factors like airflow and the number of people living in a house need to be considered, and he emphasized the need for proper ventilation. “If you’re in a house with all the

windows and doors closed and everyone is having a cup of tea and long showers, you’re going to get a lot of humidity,” he said. “Mechanical ventilation helps to control the humidity levels in the house so we don’t have mould and mildew.” While a heat pump alone can warm up your house, Schmidt said a secondary furnace might be a good idea if you don’t like waiting for warmth. “Heat pumps can’t deliver instant heat — that’s something for people to keep in mind,” he said, noting heat pumps are better for maintaining a baseline temperature. “They don’t produce really hot heat like a natural gas furnace or a wood-burning stove. If you come into your house that is only heated with a heat pump, and it’s cold outside… you’re going to have to wait a few hours for your house to get warm.” The other disadvantage, Schmidt said, is the high upfront cost of installing a heat pump. While the long-term maintenance costs are

Or should you opt for a heat pump to complement your existing furnace or fireplace? The answer is, “That depends.” “It’s hard to recommend because every house is different,” said Schmidt. “There are so many different factors — you have to customize a system for someone’s individual needs.” editor@vicnews.com

Outhouse cracks Victoria Royals roster Outhouse is first Royal to record shutout in first WHL start
Griffen Outhouse wants to prove himself in the Western Hockey League. That’s after the 17-year-old goaltender from Likely, B.C. in the Cariboo region, recently found out he’d made the WHL’s Victoria Royals’ roster and will be staying for the team’s 2015/16 campaign. “It was exciting to find out I was going to stick here for the year,” Outhouse said. “Now there’s a bigger challenge ahead of me and that’s showing that I can play in this league.” Last January, Outhouse helped lead the B.C. Major Midget League’s Prince George-based Cariboo Cougars to a Mac’s Midget AAA World Invitational Tournament championship. He finished the regular season with 15 wins, five losses and two ties, with a 2.04 goals against average. Just three months prior, he had been signed by the Royals. “It’s definitely a big jump from the BCMML and the coaches I had there prepared me well,” Outhouse said, noting he’s settling in nicely with his new teammates. “The guys here are great. All the staff are the best in the league at what they do.”
Royals’ head coach Dave Lowry said there’s no denying Outhouse is a very good goalie and worthy of an opportunity to play in the WHL. “He’s a good kid and he’s a student of the game,” Lowry said. “He wants to get better and that’s what we’re looking for in players we keep. We want guys that want to come to work every day and work on their game and try to get better.” Outhouse will be playing behind Royals’ starting goaltender Coleman Vollrath, a 20-year-old, four-year veteran of the WHL. Outhouse is already making a name for himself after notching his first career shutout in a 3-0 win against the Spokane Chiefs a few weeks ago. He became the first Royal, and second netminder in franchise history to record a shutout in his first WHL start. Vollrath’s experience will be a valuable tool in Outhouse’s development. “Coleman is a great guy,” Outhouse said. “He helps me both on and off the ice every day.” Lowry agrees, noting Vollrath is a consumate professional. “The big thing with Griff here with Coleman is he’s going to see how it’s done the right way in terms of preparation and work ethic,” Lowry said. “Not only how you work in practice but how you pre-

pare on game days … he’s a very good mentor for a young goalie.” “The guys and coaches are happy about the 7-1 start but we can’t take our foot off the pedal,” Outhouse said. “We need to keep moving on every game and bring our best out every night. The Royals begin a sixgame road trip today (Friday), starting in Prince Albert, Sask. to battle the Raiders. The next home game is on Friday, Nov. 13 when the team takes on the Seattle Thunderbirds. Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m. at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. editor@vicnews.com

North America’s best-selling commercial van offers 58 vehicle configurations with the introduction of a dual sliding door option for 2016. And that enables owners to customize their vehicles almost beyond showfloor recognition. The manufacturer has encouraged owners to submit pictures of how they have modified their vans and have received some examples of some very clever customizations. For example, So-Gnar’s Creative Hub is a shredready Ford Transit and is modified with a custom boot dryer, snowboard rack, tuning bench and portable DJ booth to make snowboarding even more fun for its riders. “It’s an absolute dream of a creative hub that we can do anything out of,” says So-Gnar CEO Pat Milbery. (Check out the video: http://bit.ly/1LOZT38) Chicago-based Windy City Limousine’s Ford Transit was converted by Battisti
Customs of Elkhart, Indiana, to carry 13 passengers in luxury and style – with a wood floor, black leather couch-style seating and two flat-screen televisions. Shultz’s Guest House uses its Ford Transit to transport orphaned dogs – some-
times from several states away – to a private 200acre farm in Dedham, Massachusetts, where they are safe from being euthanized until permanent homes are
found for them. Still on the dog theme, Wag’n Tails Mobile Conversions in Granger, Indiana, converts Ford Transit vans into fully self-contained mobile pet grooming studios,
complete with full-size tubs, hydro-massage shampoo systems, grooming tables, blow dryers, vacuums and fridges. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Thank you Sooke Fire Rescue volunteers in Panama On Oct. 16, six members of the Sooke Fire Department embarked on a training mission to Boquete, Panama. The trip comes 2.5 years after our previous (and inaugural) visit to Boquete, and is funded through hundreds of hours of fundraising by the participating members. The schedule of our mission is centered around delivery of one week of theoretical and practical training, in basic and advanced auto extrication techniques, for approximately 40 firefighters from Boquete and the surrounding area. In addition, we will be delivering donated school supplies to local children and also laying Canadian flags on the graves of four fallen soldiers in Panama City who have yet to receive the honour. Throughout our trip, the
team will be regularly updating a blog, so that the community can follow our progress. This blog can be found at sookefirefighters.wordpress. com. We can also be followed on Twitter at @FDBSooke. We thank the community for its support of our fundraising efforts, and are proud to represent Sooke, Sooke Fire Rescue and Canada. Ben Temple Firefighter Sooke Fire Rescue
Residents, First Responders earn kudos My wife and I were visiting our son and daughter-in-law in Sooke on Oct. 9 when we were involved in a collision on Wadams Way and Townsend Road. We want to extend our appreciation to the members of Sooke Fire Rescue, B..C Ambulance Service and RCMP

members for their prompt and professional response. We especially would like to thank all of the Sooke residents for the overwhelming response and care they provided at the scene prior to the arrival of emergency responders. The assistance rendered, provision of warm blankets and caring reassurance we received during that time made an obviously difficult situation substantially easier for us. Dave and Lori Vicen Edmonton
