Slipping on a wet floor in a mill and fracturing your tail-bone. Cutting your hand cooking in a commercial kitchen and needing seven stitches. Lifting a 30-kilogram box of paper and straining your back.

These are all injuries that could happen in a typical work-place. But what about a workplace that is not typical?

First responder Lisa Jennings, 49, responded to an emer-gency call like any other day, but the outcome of that call changed her forever.

Jennings, a paramedic in Victoria since 1997, loves what she does. But last June, after a typical call went wrong she began having nightmares, flashbacks and nausea. She described herself as being angry and hyper-vigilant.

Still uncomfortable with discussing the events of that day, Jennings would only say that she was left feeling frightened and unsafe.

I was not the same, said the Esquimalt resident.Ten days later Jennings said she had no concept of what

was happening to her and describes waking up one night, taking out her suitcase and packing it with random items like her toaster, cat litter and books. She also had thoughts of suicide.

A story in our series Cancer and Families published on Oct. 24 incorrectly identified the doctor who identified Wilms Tumour as Dr. Gilbert Chew.

In fact, the tumour was diagnosed by Dr. Kelly Ke-Ping Chu. The News regrets the error.

Wilms Tumour is a rare form of kidney cancer. The cancer is most common in children under seven years of age.

Most doctors never come across the tumour in their career and few could diagnose it.

Dr. Chu is to be congratulated for such a clear diagnosis, Chew said.

It was Dr. Chu, not Dr. Chew

Politicians, community leaders and volunteers will help serve more than 1,000 Christmas meals to Greater Vic-torias homeless and most vulnerable at Our Places annual holiday meal on Tuesday (Dec. 16).

The festive lunch will consist of 450 kilograms of turkey, 225 kg of pota-toes, 110 kg of stuffing, 100 kg of veg-etables, 115 litres of gravy, 25 kg of cranberry sauce, 125 pies and more than 1,500 cups of coffee.

This year, Our Place has seen a dramatic rise in meals served with a 52-per-cent increase year over year in October, and a staggering 86-per-cent increase in November.

Christmas is such an important time for family, but many of the peo-ple we serve have little or no connec-tion to their biological family, said Don Evans, executive director of Our Place.

Were the closest family they have.

We want them to know they are impor-tant and loved.

City celebrities serve Christmas dinner


When Marvin Thiele, 14, began making music with one of his friends, he enjoyed it so much he decided to try it on his own.

He spent two months writing songs and a few more months recording an album. He played all instruments guitar, bass, vocals and drums and mixed the record himself in his bedroom at home.

I really wanted to show it to peo-ple, said Thiele about his debut album released last May.

Thiele grew up in both Germany and China and moved to Canada with his family when he was 12. He speaks German, Mandarin and English fluently, and is now learning Spanish and French at Mt. Douglas secondary school.

He also likes philosophy and said it comes in handy when hes writing music. I never write about anyone, said the polite teen. Its awkward.

Theres so much I want to do with my life, said Thiele. For the time being, I do want to finish high school and go to a good university.

Thiele would like to study music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and eventually teach music. I want to be a teacher when Im older ... in my 50s.

His ultimate goal is to be a full-time musician. I really love music, he said quietly. Im just going to try as hard as I can.

Thiele said he was once inspired

by a quote from Michelangelo. I cant remember it, but I remember the point of it, he said with a soft laugh.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. Michelangelo.

The quote Thiele refers to is about setting high goals for your-self, and that is exactly what he does. When he reaches those goals, he sets some more. Once I meet them, I have nothing to do, he said.

With his first album only seven months old, Thiele is already focus-sing on his second album. Im try-ing to move on and build on it, he said.

Thiele said he was nervous about playing his first gig this past week-end at the Owl Designer Fair in Fernwood, but again setting high goals for himself, he said would like to play the Rifflandia Festival next year.

I have to work really hard, but I think ... maybe.

Thieles debut album, An Under-water Bowl, is a nine-track mix of alternative rock and pop. Reminis-cent of Radiohead and Beck bands a 14 year old probably hasnt heard of his echoing, melodic vocals laid over dreamy rhythms sound quite mature for a teenager. For a first album recorded in a bedroom this is more than a good start. Its a beginning. An Underwater Bowl is available on iTunes.

[email protected]

Teen musician is ready to rockMarvin Thiele, 14, creates his first album and he filled in the parts, including playing all the instruments, by himself

Fourteen-year-old Marvin Thiele with his bass guitar. Thiele has recorded an album in his home studio on which he played all the instruments and provided all the vocals.

Jensen gets CRD nod

Nils Jensen was elected chair of the Capital Region District board Wednesday.

Jensen, mayor of Oak Bay since 2011, has sat on municipal council for 15 years and said he believes in the CRD.

He called CRD staff dedicated, skilled, energetic and innovative and believes the regional district is the envy of water providers across Canada.

Southern Gulf Islands director David Howe was elected vice-chair.

Jensen defeated Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, who has criticized the CRD over the regional sewage issue.

Broken-windows covered with plastic, walls brown with filth, and an overgrown yard strewn with gar-bage and old cars.

Once dilapidated and set for demo-lition in 1999, today Ross Bay Villa is a historical house and museum, lovingly restored back to the simple charm of its heyday in 1865.

And now, it is for sale. Financial difficulties are forcing the

owner of Ross Bay Villa, The Land Conservancy, to sell off a number of its heritage properties to pay down an estimated $7.5 million in debt.

The Ross Bay Villa Society must raise $130,000 to pay off the exist-ing mortgage and transfer ownership from TLC to the society.

The possibility to own the prop-erty would mean keeping it safe for future generations.

Its not yet fully protected, said Simone Vogel-Horridge, president of the Ross Bay Villa Society.

Its so important to preserve the heritage for our children and grand-

children.Restoring the modest cottage has

been a 14-year labour of love for the societys volunteers. More than 73,000 volunteer hours have poured into the restoration.

Were all heavily invested in heart and financially, Vogel-Hor-ridge said.

Volunteers restored plaster, sanded wood, painted walls and dug gardens. Careful analysis went into furnishing and decorating, which was done using old photographs and an auction list from Ross Bay Villa dating back to 1879.

The history was still there, said Vogel-Horridge.We just needed to find it and reveal it.

The gnarled garden was even cleared to reveal fruit trees that had been growing since the 1890s.

One of the few survivors from the 1860s Victoria, Ross Bay Villa has been nominated as one of the prov-inces best buildings by the Architec-ture Foundation of British Columbia.

She said she doesnt remember driving herself to the Archie Courtnall Centre, Psychiatric Emer-gency Services at the Royal Jubilee Hospital.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental illness that occurs when someone is exposed to trauma involving death, threat of death, serious injury or violence.

The Canadian Mental Health Association says trauma includes length of time of the trauma, the number of traumatic experiences and the kind of support received after the events.

After 24 years as a paramedic in B.C. and Alberta, Jennings was witness to many traumatic experi-ences. We see horrific things, she said.

Between that day in June and November, Jen-nings made 13 trips to Archie Courtnall Centre for treatment of suicidal ideation, until her Employ-ment Insurance medical benefits expired.

Jennings said that because she is classified as part-time, she is not entitled to long-term disability benefits or sick time.

My employer cant help, she said. My union cant help.

Jennings said she began having nightmares of all she had witnessed over the past years on the job she adored.

Ive seen some graphic stuff murders, shoot-ings, stabbings, she said.

But she was told by WorkSafe BC the event that triggered her health problems was not severe or catastrophic enough.

PTSD is not about a triggering event, she said, Its an accumulative disorder.

The CMHA says military personnel, first responders police, firefighters, and paramedics doctors, and nurses have higher rates of PTSD than other professions.

Bob Parkinson, director of health and wellness for the Ambulance Paramedics of B.C., said para-medics have a rate two to three times higher than the general public.

PTSD is an injury when you injure yourself in a workplace, you make changes to how you do things, Parkinson said.

These changes include education, training and support. We dont have resources implemented inside our workplace, Parkinson added.

Parkinson said due to an outdated contract, paramedics dont have benefits that would allow access to professionals so many members go untreated.

He said submitting a claim to WorkSafe requires an assessment by a clinical psychologist. Getting the diagnosis is only one component, he said. Its a lengthy investigation and can cost up to $3,000.

The Tema Conter Memorial Trust, an organiza-tion in Ontario aimed to raise awareness and pro-vide education and support for first responders in Canada, says on their website 27 first responders have died by suicide since April 29.

Like many mental illnesses, there is a stigma attached to admitting you have PTSD, and Jen-nings said many cases go unreported.

She said because of the difficulty of proving you have PTSD, its hard to get the care and support needed.

I am not the only paramedic that has been declined these benefits.

While he didnt have exact numbers, Parkinson said the WorkSafe denial rate is high.

He said he would like B.C. legislation to follow that of Alberta, which gives first responders pre-sumptive coverage. This means they no longer have to prove PTSD is job-related.

Since her Employment Insurance benefits have lapsed, Jennings has had difficulty focussing on her recovery. She was behind on her rent and didnt know how to pay for groceries and medica-tion.

She is preparing to appeal WorkSafes decision so she can afford to live while rehabilitating and said she wants to take care of herself so she can return to taking care of her community.

I never once woke up in the morning and thought oh no I have to go to work, said Jen-nings. I couldnt wait to get there.

Many paramedics untreated for PTSD, says union official

First responder Lisa Jennings, 49, has been off her job on sick leave since last June. I am not the only paramedic that has been declined these benefits, she said.

Cancer patients benefit from upgraded technology

Cancer patients at the B.C. Cancer Agen-cys Vancouver Island Centre now have access to six new linear accelerators that pro-vide radiation therapy used to treat a variety of cancers.

The six new True-Beam linear accelera-tors help place the B.C. Cancer Agency at the forefront of providing cutting-edge cancer treatment using the newest and most inno-vative radiation ther-apy equipment, said Health Minister Terry Lake.

This technology is a perfect example of the world-class can-cer care B.C. residents have access to and it will help improve the quality of life for Island patients affected by cancer.

The new linear accel-erators are part of a replacement plan that will improve patient care by providing some of the most-advanced, targeted radiation ther-apy treatments in B.C.

The plan also includes a new radia-tion therapy simulator and a brachytherapy suite upgrade a form of radiotherapy where a radiation source is placed inside or next

to the area requiring treatment.

The B.C. government provided $24.3 million in funding for project.

We appreciate the provincial government providing funding for new linear accelera-tors, a radiation ther-apy simulator and a brachytherapy suite upgrade at the Vancou-ver Island Centre, said Nick Foster, interim head, B.C. Cancer Agency.

To provide the best care, it is important that the B.C. Cancer Agency keep current with new technology and treat-ment advances. This new equipment will help to improve health outcomes for our patients by allowing us to deliver more precise radiation treatment to patients at the Vancou-ver Island Centre.

Linear accelerators work by making use of high-energy x-rays to kill tumour cells. Radia-tion therapy is used to treat a variety of can-cer types, as well as in palliative treatment to relieve symptoms.

The new machines deliver radiation more precisely, and produce better images, so treat-ment can be modi-fied on a daily basis

to support the needs of patients. On-board imaging, which enables staff to confirm the patients alignment, and RapidArc - a treat-ment technique that delivers radiation in a 360-degree arc around the patient allow for more-efficient treat-ment delivery and improved accuracy, ultimately resulting

in better patient out-comes.

Approximately 55 per cent of cancer patients in B.C. require radiation therapy as part of their treatment plan. The linear accel-erators typically oper-ate eight hours per day, treating approximately 150 patients during that time period.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder

Why is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say its due to athero-sclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiolo-gists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy colla-gen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Welling-ton University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLDs). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens ir-refutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. Its a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years Ive been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Both the Craigdarroch Castle Historical Museum Society and the Ross Bay Villa Society are taking on major fundraising campaigns to save more of the citys heritage, albeit for different reasons.

The Ross Bay Villa Society aims to purchase the Ross Bay Villa from the financially-strapped TLC. The society must raise $130,000 to pay off the existing mortgage.

Across town, the Craigdarroch Castle Historical Museum Society wants to free up space in the four-storey, 30-room castle by removing the gift shop and staff offices to make room for more story-telling opportunities and museum-based activities.

The gift shop is currently located where the original kitchen was and planners want to restore the kitchen to a Romanesque-era style to match the rest of the castle. The gift shop will be relocated in another building on the prop-erty.

Both projects are worthy of our support for the heritage value alone, never mind adding in the tourism driver they will create.

Its encouraging that these projects are being pushed by societies who have an invested interest. They should be an inspiration to other groups to push forward their projects, instead of waiting for government to make the first move.

B.C.s history is still relatively young, but we cant pass up on opportunities to enhance it and help it grow.

The one thing we must always keep in mind when looking at our history is that we only have so many opportunities to get it right.

As Simone Vogel-Horridge, president of the Ross Bay Villa, said: Once its gone, its gone.

And none of us want to see that future.

Re: Monarchists blast Helps (News, Dec. 10)

The Queen wasnt an issue in the civic election and it is silly for people who dont live in Victoria to try and use the Queen for political sour grapes.

The mayor and city council of Victoria were elected by the people to represent the interests of the people.

I respect the right of councillors to add their personal statement about the Queen and I also note they include a couple of councillors who have given long service to the city.

I question whether some of them have more to contribute.

Amalgamation vote is only a look-see

Re: Dark side of amalgamation (Your View, Nov. 28)

Nice of Jordan Bateman to warn us of some pitfalls of amalgamation but he has not done his homework.

The various amalgamations that have occurred in BC Kamloops, Prince George and Abottsford have been successful because they were voluntary and well planned before initiated. These were not forced like other cities.

There is no rush to the altar in the Capital Region. All that has been decided is to have an in depth study to look at the possibilities. Only after this study and much public consultation will anything happen and then only if the electorate is satisfied with the cost/benefits and the option.

Labour costs are an issue to address but most of the municipalities already deal with the same unions. Any transition plan that occurs must carefully consider these costs.

The Bish Report has been hanging around for years and says that smaller municipalities help competition and keep costs lower.

Everyone needs to take a breath. The electorate said lets have a study and discussion and see what make sense.

Lets all allow the process to move forward.

Esquimalt mayoran unfair target

Re: Judge Fortin on his accomplishments (Letters, Dec. 3)

While Dan Reeve is entitled to put as positive a spin as he can on failed mayoralty of Dean Fortin in Victoria, it is unfortunate that he resorts to taking a cheap shot at Esquimalts highly successful mayor, Barb Desjardins.

It is clear Desjardins opposed the sewage-treatment plan that would have involved the building of the now notorious poop palace at McLoughlin Point, not because of a politically opportunistic calculation, but because she was perceptive enough to understand that the proposal was not in the best interest of the people of Esquimalt or anyone else in the Capital Region for that matter.

Thats Ugly Society fundraises for Childrens Wish FoundationAndrea PeacockVictoria News

Ugly Christmas sweaters have become a phenomenon, decked out with reindeers, bells and Santa beards.

The sweaters are mainly used for a laugh during the holidays, but this year the ugly Christmas sweaters have a greater pur-pose.

Now Thats Ugly Society and the Chil-drens Wish Foundation of Canada have partnered to bring wishes to deserving chil-dren simply by donning a festive sweater.

For children suffering life-threatening ill-nesses, the granting of just one wish can brighten their whole world during a less than joyful time of their lives.

Jordan Birch saw this first-hand when his friend died of cancer two years ago, just after being sent to Disneyland on an impromptu wish.

We ended up wanting to grant wishes on a grander scale, said Birch, who had founded Now Thats Ugly Society 11 years prior to that. For those 11 years, Now Thats Ugly held a Christmas sweater party at the Commodore in Vancouver to raise money for various charities. After the passing of his friend, Birch decided to focus solely on the Childrens Wish Foundation.

This year, Now Thats Ugly is expanding beyond the Lower Mainland.

Were going to the Island, were going all

the way up to the Sea-to-Sky [Highway] and were going as far as Ontario, said Birch.

Anyone can order a captains kit from Now Thats Ugly Society to host their own ugly Christmas sweater party.

The kits cost $200 and come with a toque, 40 buttons and a captains guide.

Typically what people do is sell the but-tons for $5, said Birch. Were seeing a lot of captains taking it a step further, and theyre collecting more donations or set-ting themselves up on online fundraising.

In B.C. and the Yukon, Now Thats Ugly donated just over $20,000 to Childrens Wish in 2013. This year, Birchs goal is to raise $100,000.

The average cost of a wish is $10,000, said Jennifer Petersen, provincial direc-tor of the B.C. and Yukon chapter of the Childrens Wish Foundation of Canada. She

added about 75 wishes get granted every year in B.C. and the Yukon.

About 65 per cent of our wishes [involve] travel. Of that, definitely the most popular is Disney, said Petersen.

All wishes are entirely funded by donors, said Petersen.

We grant the most wishes in Canada, more than any other wish granting organi-zation. No eligible child is denied a wish.

Ugly Christmas Sweater Day is officially proclaimed as Dec. 19. Victoria city council-lors will be dressed in their own ugly sweat-ers at the Dec. 18 council meeting.

To order an ugly Christmas sweater party kit, go online to nowthatsugly.com or call 1-800-267-WISH (9474). To donate directly to the Childrens Wish Foundation, go online to childrenswish.ca.

After the tragic sinking of the Valencia in January 1906 and the loss of 136 souls, the Canadian government decided that something must be done about the ever-mounting death toll of the area known as the Graveyard of the Pacific.

This patch of stormy water extends from the north of Oregon up to and including the west coast of Vancouver Island.

It is hard to know exactly how many ships have been lost to its frigid depths, but estimates for the number of wrecks along the coast of Vancouver Island alone hover in the region of 475.

One of the most brutal parts of the graveyard is at the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca along Vancouver Islands southwest coast, between Bamfield and Port Renfrew. This was the exact, inaccessible coastline where the Valencia had met her doom.

Survivors who made it to shore after the ship was wrecked on a reef during a storm faced sheer, 30-metre cliffs which they had to climb, shivering and soaked, only to find themselves in a dense forest, alone with the howling winds and unseen predators.

There was a rickety telegraph line that cut through the dense temperate rainforest, and this they followed until they found a small linesmans shack where they finally were able to communicate with the Carmanah Lighthouse Station to get help.

The rescue ships that eventually arrived could do little when they approached from the water lest they too be wrecked, and the area was so remote that it was impossible to approach quickly by land.

The intense tragedy and human drama of the story hit headlines across North

America and prompted a public outcry to ameliorate the situation.

Vancouver Island was still remote and wild, yet there was a busy shipping corridor through the Strait of Juan de Fuca which brought hundreds of boats into the busy harbours of Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle.

In response, the Canadian government conceived the Dominion Life-Saving Trail which is known as the West Coast Trail today. They embarked on a two-year plan to upgrade the rickety line of telegraph wires into a life-saving system.

Along this 74-kilometre route between Bamfield and

Port Renfrew they first built the Pachena Point Lighthouse in 1908 to warn ships that approached too close to the jagged reefs along the coastline.

Then, the narrow path had been cleared for the telegraph lines was widened and made more accessible for rescuers and survivors alike.

Signposts were added to help survivors determine just where they were. Small shacks were also constructed at eight-kilometre intervals along the trail and equipped with multi-lingual maps and directions for navigating the trail, rations, blankets and the basics for survival.

The Bamfield Lifeboat Station was also built and equipped with a state-of-the-art 36-foot motorized lifeboat. It was the height of modernity when it was commissioned in 1908, and hundreds of these boats came to be used in coastal communities across North America.

By the 1950s, the Dominion Lifesaving Trail had fallen into disrepair. The first half of the 20th century had brought some rapid changes in technology which led to a corresponding

decrease in the number of shipwrecks along Vancouver Island.

Radar came into common use in the late 1930s, and during the course of the Second World War the U.S. perfected the Long Range Navigation System (Loran), which uses pulsed radio transmissions between master and slave stations to form hyperbola (called loran lines) which intersect to show the position of the ship.

Then, of course, in the 1970s the global positioning system began to supersede other navigational systems. Though there are still ships and souls lost in the area, today the number is minimal.

The last major shipwreck along the West Coast Trail was of the Russian tanker Uzbekistan in 1943. Though the ship was destroyed, all souls aboard the vessel were saved.

Today, hikers regularly encounter the remnants of the many lost ships which litter the shore along the trail. Boilers, anchors, boxes, splintered bits of decking, even pieces of steam funnels protrude

from the sea or lie abandoned on the sand.

This wreckage is protected by law; it is illegal for anyone to remove the debris of ship wrecked more than two years ago.

In 1973 the West Coast Trail became part of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and was upgraded.

Today it is used for recreational hiking and camping, though anyone who has travelled its length will testify that it is still a treacherous route. Approximately two per cent of those who attempt the trail will require emergency rescue services to get them out.

It is consistently rated as one of the finest hikes in the world, but the West Coast Trail remains a visible testament to the powerful hand of Vancouver Islands natural forces and to the lives lost to, and saved from, its unrelenting grip.

Craigdarroch Castle is getting a $2-million upgrade, but planners dont know where the money will come from to finance the project.

Its still in the early days of planning, said John Hughes, executive director of the Craigdar-roch Castle Historical Museum Society.

Hughes said the soci-ety is considering debt financing, a capital fundraising campaign and going directly to societys members for funds. He said the finance committee will give recommendations early in the new year.

The projects plan is to free up space in the four-storey, 30-room castle by removing the gift shop and staff offices to make room for more story-telling opportunities and museum-based activi-ties.

The gift shop is cur-rently located where the original kitchen was and planners want to restore the kitchen to a Romanesque-era style to match the rest of the castle.

A building already on site at 1050 Joan Cres. is being eyed up to house a new gift shop, a visi-tors centre and office space.

Were about eight to 10 months away from approval, said Hughes of the rezoning applica-tion process.

Craigdarroch Castle was built in 1887 by Rob-ert and Joan Dunsmuir. After their deaths, the castle continued to live many lives.

It reopened as a mili-tary hospital in 1919 after extensive reno-vations by the Depart-ment of Soldiers Civil Re-establishment. The kitchen was replaced and internal walls were reconfigured on every floor to build hospital rooms.

The castle went from housing recuperating

veterans to housing stu-dents when it became the site of Victoria Col-lege in 1921. Rooms were made into class-rooms, common areas, and the dance hall was turned into the school library.

When the college outgrew the castle, it became the home of the Victoria school board, and was again modified to allow for office space.

It even housed more than 30 pianos when it became the home of

the Victoria Conserva-tory of Music in 1969.

The castle society was established in 1959 and is a registered char-ity that receives little in government funding. The society receives a permissive tax exemp-tion from the City of Victoria which is given to charitable organiza-tions, museums and heritage properties.

A p p r o x i m a t e l y 120,000 visitors are expected to visit the castle this year.

Craigdarroch Castle Historical Museum Society hopes to raise $2 million for an expansion of the historic castle. Craigdarroch Castle was built in 1887 by Robert and Joan Dunsmuir.

Job prospects for the first quar-ter of 2015 in Victoria will increase six percentage points from the same time in 2014.

A report by Manpower Group found that employers in the finance, insurance and real estate sectors will have the strongest job prospects, with a four percentage point increase from the same time in 2014.

The survey of over 1,900 employ-ers across Canada revealed that 11 per cent plan to increase their staff-ing levels in the first quarter of 2015, while seven per cent anticipate cut-backs and 79 per cent expect their current staffing levels to stay the same. The remaining three per cent are unsure about their hiring inten-tions.

Radar came into common use in the late 1930s, and during the course of the Second World War the U.S. perfected the Long Range Navigation System (Loran), which uses pulsed radio transmissions between master and slave stations to form hyperbola (called loran lines) which intersect to show the position of the ship.

Then, of course, in the 1970s the global positioning system began to supersede other navigational systems. Though there are still ships and souls lost in the area, today the number is minimal.

The last major shipwreck along the West Coast Trail was of the Russian tanker Uzbekistan in 1943. Though the ship was destroyed, all souls aboard the vessel were saved.

Today, hikers regularly encounter the remnants of the many lost ships which litter the shore along the trail. Boilers, anchors, boxes, splintered bits of decking, even pieces of steam funnels protrude

from the sea or lie abandoned on the sand.

This wreckage is protected by law; it is illegal for anyone to remove the debris of ship wrecked more than two years ago.

In 1973 the West Coast Trail became part of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and was upgraded.

Today it is used for recreational hiking and camping, though anyone who has travelled its length will testify that it is still a treacherous route. Approximately two per cent of those who attempt the trail will require emergency rescue services to get them out.

It is consistently rated as one of the finest hikes in the world, but the West Coast Trail remains a visible testament to the powerful hand of Vancouver Islands natural forces and to the lives lost to, and saved from, its unrelenting grip.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the drivers seat

Hyundai composes a memorable new SonataHyundai is a company that pushes the envelope in terms of styling, vehicle content, engine choices and value, mak-ing others carmakers take notice. The last generation Hyundai Sonata, released in 2011, is a perfect example. The Fluidic Sculpture design language really set the pace for the mid-size class of cars. The competitors that followed, like the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, all took styling chances after that Sonata was introduced. The same too for the engine development, including smaller turbocharged 4-cyl-inder engines and fuel saving direct injection technology; compared with the competition all this technology was ahead of the curve. Now, just a few years later, the Sonata gets another refresh, making this car more compelling than ever.

LooksAs dynamic as the Fluidic Sculpture design was, it didnt age well. Cars that are heavily styled can date quickly. With this in mind, Hyundai has backed away from the fluid approach to a more sculpted design that shares some styling cues from the top-of-range Hyundai Genesis. The front features a squarer grille opening, edgier bumper and front chin-spoiler. The base model is fitted with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has and 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels with LED daytime running lights, halogen headlamps or HID lights on the limited trim. The performance oriented 2.0 Turbo Sport model, seen above, comes with a two-toned front spoiler, 18-inch wheels, standard HID headlamps, quad exhaust tips and a lower diffuser on the rear bumper. The top trim levels of both the 2.4L and 2.0 Sport have a blacked-out section of the front grille which signifies the car comes with adaptive cruise control and a forward collision warning system.

InsideAs with the outside, the interior has been given a total refresh, no basic tweaking here. The same, more muted design is at work here too, now the all-new centre console is wider and flatter than the last car. This makes the car feel more open and airy, the brushed aluminum surround is bright and the way the buttons and dials are fitted is second to none. Fit and finish is one area that Hyundai does as well, if not better than most. Even on the base $23,999 GL model, the Sonata comes with standard heated front seats, back-up camera, Bluetooth, 5-inch radio/backup screen, satellite radio and USB

connectivity. The $26,299 GLS adds a power drivers seat, heated leather steering wheel and heated rear seats, and these are just the two entry-level cars. All cars now come with additional 2.5 cm of rear legroom and a very useful trunk that is expandable, thanks to a 60/40 split rear seat.

DriveBoth the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and the 2.0L turbo have been carried over from the last model but they have been modified to produce better torque delivery and fuel economy. Hyundai has dropped the horsepower output from 198hp to 185hp in the 2.4L and limited the torque to 178hp. The 2.0L turbo also receives a horsepower drop from 274hp to 245hp and the torque drops from 268 lb.-ft to 160 lb.-ft. Hyundai claims that the torque is lower in the RPM range and the fuel consumption is improved. The experience behind the wheel of the turbo is still very invigorating but not as hectic as the last model, it delivers a more usable driving experience. Power is smooth and refined; the turbo feels like a V6 without the accompanying fuel bill.

VerdictHyundai has done it again, delivering a very attrac-tive car, full of features, at an attractive price. 2.4L models range from $23,999 to $32,999 in the top Limited trim. This model has most of the features found in the top 2.0L turbo but without the added power. The base 2.0L turbo starts at $30,999 and the top Ultimate model, seen here, is $34,799. Both the Limited and Ultimate get the forward collision warn-ing system and lane departure safety features, plus they also get adaptive cruise control. For 2015, the Sonata is a big step foreword in design. The added safety features will be attractive and the constant pushing-of-the-envelope from Hyundai is welcome.

saunders

By Ian Harwood

The rain and windstorms have started and it wont be long before the temperatures start to dip. Northern BC and the Interior have already experienced the cold. At the coast, it seems every year the first snowfall creates chaos and adjusting to the conditions is a big challenge for many people. That said; driving in the winter sea-son generally presents more problems than driving in other seasons wherever you call home. The vehicle and the driver must be prepared as well as possible to cope with these kinds of driving conditions. In winter driving, braking and stopping the vehicle, of course, cause the most difficult moments. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classi-fication with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all-season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduction of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerating the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5 C decrease in temperature.Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not

improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more liable to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage. Here is some advice to always bear in mind it is during winter driving conditions: Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control fea-ture can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don't get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quick-er than other vehicles but it wont help you stop any faster.Many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passen-ger vehicles and actually may take longer to stop. Dont get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicles traction. Your 4x4 can lose traction as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The right way is to step on the brake pedal and steer against the slide. Look further ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you more quickly to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely.
