A matter of the mind

Surgical success: how persistence, patience and a whole lot of community support has Curt Knippelberg on the road to recovery Diana Hutton

News Leader Pictorial

t’s a strange story of an extraordinary young man, the cyst that changed his life and the community that helped get it back. Curt Knippelberg was a typical small town kid. Born and raised in Lake Cowichan, he loved his family, hockey and all that the great outdoors in his backyard had to offer. In Grade 6 the family moved to Duncan and life went on as usual. Always a passionate athlete, Curt set up a home gym funded by money he’d earned helping his dad on a roofing job. Soon after, he discovered his passion, Brazilian Jui Jitsu, and began to train. When he was 16, he began to experience symptoms that didn’t fit for a young, healthy, athletic teenager. There were headaches, issues with memory loss and loss of balance. Doctors chalked it up to the after-effects of a couple of minor concussions suffered during his hockey career and advised the symptoms would eventually subside. Instead, his condition steadily got worse. “I knew that there was something wrong,” said Curt. “We just had no idea what it was.” At age 18, he was started on a neuro re-hab program, still based on the idea his symptoms were concussion-related. But he and his condition just didn’t fit in with other people in the program. Something was just not right. “I really pushed for an MRI and eventually got one. That’s when they found the cyst on the pineal gland in my brain,” said Knippleberg. The pineal gland, located between the two hemispheres of the brain secretes crucial hormones such as melatonin which affects memory, emotions, as well as sense of smell. It is sometimes called “the third eye.” The cause of symptomatic pineal cysts is unknown, and small ones are not uncommon. Much more rare, are the larger cysts that can cause seizures, vision abnormalities, and loss of consciousness as the cyst exerts more pressure on the brain. In Canada, surgery to remove the cyst was eliminated as an option.

Curt Knippelberg is on the road to recovery after surgery last month to remove a cyst from his brain. “They felt the risk wasn’t worth the gain. The way they looked at it, I appeared to be relatively healthy and able to function. I had a life,” said Knippelberg.” But for me, it had taken away my passion. I had to give up doing so many things with the headaches, memory stuff and dizziness and just never knowing what was going to happen next, or when.” Knippelberg began to do research and found surgery to remove the cyst was available in the United States, but it was extremely expensive. A cheaper option was to journey to India, a popular destination for “tourism surgery’ but there was still the question of where the money for the trip and surgery was going to come from. He began a fundraising campaign. Laurie Johnson was a childhood friend of Curt’s mother, Rhonda (nee LaForge). The

two had been best friends all through school in Lake Cowichan but as adults, had lost touch over the years. “It was only by fluke that I came across a “Boogie for the Brain” post on Facebook. I randomly sent an email and said that I’d like to host a bottle drive for Curt and that changed my life for the next year and a half!” said Johnson. “We made $7,000!” On Knippelberg’s website submitacyst.com a log of various fundraising events and strategies were unfolding. Johnson stepped up to the plate in a big way, organizing many events. In 2012, Curt and his mother Rhonda, made the trip to India for his life-changing surgery, but a cruel twist of fate was to dash their hopes of success. “The night before I was set to have the surgery, the nurses in India went on strike.

doctors there felt it was far too risky to proceed with the back-up staff that they brought in,” said Knippelberg. “It was crushing, we had to turn around and come home and start all over again.” The setback took a heavy toll on Curt’s team but for him, there was no giving up. “We were all so down when they came back from India and he was the one who picked us up,” said Johnson. The work began again as friends, family, community, businesses and organizations all came forward to help with events from bottle drives, silent auctions, “burger and a beer” nights at local pubs, dances and even Lake Cowichan Secondary School grads donating the proceeds of their annual fashion show to help Curt on his journey. more on page 3

NAIG 2008 distributes its ﬁnal ﬁnancial legacy

The North American Indigenous Games council announced the receipt of the ﬁnal payment from Cowichan’s 2008 legacy funds for $100,000 this week. The funds are to be used within conditions set out in the 2008 NAIG legacy plan, including plans for senior stafﬁng, legacy recognition, oversight for transfer of knowledge/information,

ﬁnancial management policies and revenue generation strategies, explained a NAIG press release. “The true legacy of the 2008 NAIG in Cowichan, British Columbia is the wonderful and unforgettable experience it was for all participants, all made possible by the people of that territory,” said NAIG council president Dave

Canadian. The NAIG council board of directors also thanked the folks of Cowichan and British Columbia “for their hospitality and professionalism.” “The legacy is a reminder of the great work that was done for Indigenous youth and sets the standard for future host societies.”

Code name: Enigma buster

Support tattooed right on his body from page one

Declassiﬁed: Cowichan man part of the code-busting team that helped win the Second World War

Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

eeting war veteran Dennis Gleed is akin to shaking hands with a friendly ghost. He didn’t officially exist until well after the war when declassified documents told the crucial role he and other British brains played in breaking the Nazis’ super-complex Engima code machine. Gleed endured 50 years of silence until 1995 when he was released from the Secret Service Act and could talk about his experiences in Bletchley Park. That’s the isolated Victorian mansion where Gleed, 93 — among a shrinking handful of Enigma codebusters — was sent in 1943. The Royal Air Force volunteer joined a squad of hand-picked civilian geniuses assembled to crack the Enigma, then decode German messages for Allied use. The complex German machines resembled a typewriter with keys to type in messages, and a series of rotor wheels that would translate messages sent by radio between German commanders, and forces in the field, in ships or in U-boat submarines. Eventually, the team helped the Allies learn where enemy ships and subs were, turning the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic — while trying desperately not to show the Nazis their Enigma was useless. “When they broke the Enigma code, it took two years off the war, and saved thousands of lives,” said gregarious Gleed, whose active mind tosses off minute details, despite his ailing health. Gleed became part of those

clandestine operations after being accepted as an air traffic controller in 1940. In late ‘42, after the Battle of Britain, the British began “looking for airmen who were good in maths and puzzle solving,” prompting Gleed’s Oxford interview, testing, promotion to sergeant, and dispatching to Bletchley. The painstaking, private work seemed endless. Gleed and his teammates worked on various code combinations and were never made privy to the final decoded messages. “It was boring doing the same repetitions day after day,” he said. “We had no idea where all the messages went. We got live, coded German messages brought to Bletchley by motorcycle. They never told us what it said, and we never asked.” But their work was certainly appreciated. Prime Minister Winston Churchill asked the blokes at Bletchley what they wanted then built those five requested tennis courts. With the Enigma code deciphered, England decided Gleed’s talents were needed elsewhere. In 1944 he was sent to a signals unit in Layton Bussard, and prepared for code-busting behind the lines in France after D-Day. As the Allies battled the Germans in Belgium and Holland, Gleed broke coded messages from several miles away — some fed from the Dutch underground — and passed them to British brass. Between 1944 and 1945, Gleed’s messages sometimes allowed the Allied to call in bombers to root out German troops. “Sometimes we were shot at by

Now 93, Dennis Gleed was in his early 20s when his help was ﬁrst enlisted to crack German codes and eventually help win the Second World War. snipers. We shot back; whether we hit anything, I don’t know.” When the war ended, he was stripped of any gear related to his secret assignments. He worked in

a parts factory in England, before emigrating to Edmonton, retiring as a city engineer in 1978, eventually settling in North Cowichan. He’s a modest war hero. “I don’t think I did any more, or any less than anyone else — I just wasn’t on the front lines getting shot at,” he said. “I don’t think anything can be won by wars — things have got to be talked out.”

Tattoos to Train was one of Curt’s special fundraisers where people donating funds could have their names or initials tattooed on him as a permanent legacy of their gifts. Jory Helmes of Bully Boy Tattoos donated all the tattoo work. “Curt was so positive through it all,” said Carol LaForge, Curt’s grandmother. “He’s never, ever wavered and he’s been so appreciative of the incredible support he’s been given.” Finally, Curt’s dream has been realized. He underwent surgery in Australia to remove the cyst from his brain about a month ago and is now back home recuperating. His awe at the incredible outpouring of support that made this journey possible is evident by his sincere gratitude to all those who helped make it happen. “I want to let everyone know just how appreciative I am of their support. That such positive caring could come out of something so negative. It’s been just amazing!” Knippelberg is not out of the woods yet. His recovery will be a slow, measured process that will take time. About half his pineal gland was removed along with the cyst to ensure there will be no reoccurrence. He is optimistic and eager to begin the next stage of his life as a whole, healthy person. “I can never repay all the countless people who did this, so I plan to pay it forward once I’m healthy,” he said. “The positive thing in this, is that I learned what it’s like to need help. I was given the opportunity to feel what that is, so now I’ll be able to help others in the future.”

Burning ban enacted in south Cowichan Smoked out: Northern rural areas still considering their options

ackyard burning is now banned for 10 months of the year in the regional district’s south end. Regional directors passed landmark bylaw 3716 — dousing backyard fires from Mill Bay to Glenora except for windows in the spring — to boost air quality, and reduce smoke pollution that’s plagued patients, health agents and Cowichan carbon busters for years. The regional district’s first such bylaw is effective immediately, Thursday’s Cowichan Valley Regional District release says. It covers Areas A to E. The burning ban answers the board’s request to model its bylaw on North Cowichan’s regulation. Bylaw 3716 is a nuisance bylaw regulating open burning and reducing smoke pollution and its impacts on human health, the CVRD states. Backyard burning is banned completely in the City of Duncan, and the towns of Ladysmith and Lake Cowichan. The bylaw allows open burning from March 15 through April 15, and from Oct. 15 through Nov. 15 only. Fires must be at least 10 metres from property lines; mustn’t exceed two metres diameter, and two metres high; and may only occur during a ‘good’ ventilation index. Campfires are allowed, but can’t be a nuisance. Open-pile burning of land-clearing debris and stumps is banned across Cowichan. That stuff can only be torched

Cowichan transit looking to improve rural service What’s needed? Officials examining different forms of paratransit systems

Nick Bekolay

News Leader Pictorial

C Transit and the CVRD have begun exploring possible changes to transit service in some of Cowichan’s more rural communities. But it is too early to say what changes, if any, will take place. Ian Morrison, CVRD director for Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls, said there are no proposed changes to transit service at present. Instead, BC Transit and the CVRD are in “the very beginning of a Paratransit study.” Meribeth Burton, BC Transit’s corporate spokesperson, said the joint CVRD-BC file Transit study’s purpose is to explore service BC Transit wants to know if it can make any route changes that alternatives for some of the Cowichan Valwould improve service for Cowichan residents. ley’s more rural communities.

BC Transit hosted a “first round of stakeholder meetings” last week that drew 20 people to the Cowichan Lake Sports Arena during the afternoon of July 16 and 25-plus to an evening meeting at Mill Bay’s Kerry Park Recreation Centre. Burton said meetings were attended by government staff, area directors, passengers and community advocates. BC Transit presented service options employed in other communities to those present, including “Paratransit,” — flexible routes run on-demand. In return, riders requested transit service with “greater geographical coverage,” Burton said. Additional public meetings will be hosted in September to allow the public to help BC Transit redraft its current service model, Burton said, and a second round of public consultations is scheduled for November. If BC Transit’s ridership is receptive to any proposed service changes, Burton said they hope to introduce a few “quick wins” early next year, with broader changes being imple-

mented by “late 2014.” Public discourse will be a key part of that process, Burton said. “In the last two or three years, BC Transit has gone to the community and to community events to seek as much opinion as possible before making changes,” Burton added. “The system always works better when the people who rely on it can help shape it.” Low ridership is one challenge the study hopes to address, Burton said. “In order to make the system affordable for the taxpayers who fund it and for the people who rely on it, we are hoping that the community at large, with the help of the stakeholders group that’s now been formed, can look at some creative ways that are working in other communities that might work just as well in Lake Cowichan.” For more information on the service options being explored through BC Transit’s Transit Future Plan, visit.transitbc.com/transitfuture and click on the Cowichan Valley link.

Should CDH be renovated, rebuilt on its current site, or reconstructed elsewhere? “The health system itself needs to be renovated, not just the hospital. It’s deﬁnitely better to stick with the site we have; there’s no need to buy property somewhere else to build on.”

Too many variables to commit to 10 years

Local government needs to create incentives to cycle

Dear editor In addition to the good points raised by Rob Douglas in his July 17 cycling column, other suggestions could include local governments providing incentives for people to cycle to shop and work rather than drive. Right now by providing free parking in core commercial areas, taxpayers are not only encouraging but subsidizing the use of cars by shoppers. For a certain portion of the population, driving makes sense and I’m not suggesting we do away with the free parking — this community is not ready for that. What I do suggest is exploring creating or duplicating other area’s programs where an incentive in the form of money back or discounts are offered to those who ride. Currently cyclists —a.k.a. early adopters — are “taking one for the team” by riding on risky car-filled roads and exposing themselves to higher levels of pollutants as they breathe car exhaust, all the while providing a positive spin-off to everyone’s environment. It would be very beneficial if we could recognize their commitment and encourage others to do the same. Aaron Bichard Comments submitted at cowichannewsleader.com

Simple solution to the rural doctor crisis

Dear editor As a family physician who has spent eight years in a rural community and loves it, I will tell you what made me choose this: I was offered a salary. Not billing fee-for-service and having to see six patients per hour to pay my clinic overhead and staff. The place where I signed on has a clinic whose staff is paid by the health authority, with rent, equipment, utilities all provided. I come to work each day, see two or three patients an hour, and go home at the end of the day just like most of the rest of the population. Patients are happier too as they are not waiting interminably then rushed through a five-minute appointment. Your Cowichan Lake doctors were having to see six or more patients per hour, put in super long days, pay their clinic overhead and staff from their $27/patient MSP billings, and also be on call 24/7. No way I would sign on to that

Lock down park, sell the rest, leave development to the developers

Dear editor I found myself chuckling when I read John Koury’s letter when he used the term “politically motivated” when it comes to yet another “decision” by council re Echo Heights. In February 2011 it was the position of the previous council to draft a bylaw establishing Echo Heights as a 60:40 split of parkland and residential development. The July meeting scheduled was cancelled because of an error in wording we were told but was that really true? The council of the day then opted to not proceed with a vote as it was too close to the election i.e. a political decision. Now councillor Koury is bemoaning the fact that the current council has opted to do something different. The current council is made up of 50% of the previous council excluding the mayor. It includes Councillors Ruth Hartmann, Al Siebring and Mr. Koury. So I have to ask: If you are so adamant, John, that the 40% answer was the answer, why did you and your colleagues on the previous council not push this through? You had the votes and could have done it, but as a group you opted not to for political reasons. Seems to me to be a tad late to be crying

So you want a letter published? Here are some tips: Keep it short — 300 words or less; Keep it local — letters raised in response to issues raised in our pages get top priority; Keep it clean — attack the issue, not the individual. You must include your full name, home community and a phone number where we can reach you during oﬃce hours. Addresses and phone numbers will not be published. Letters will be edited for clarity, grammar, length and good taste. Name-withheld letters will not be published. We receive more letters than we have space for. Publication is not guaranteed.

about what has been done. Regrettably I have to agree somewhat. Why spend all this money and then not act? Seems to me the previous council has to answer for that. The way council should proceed is approve the bylaw, lock down the 80% of Echo Heights so future councils cannot play with it, sell off the 20%, get out of the development business and be done with it. North Cowichan will make its money from the sale and development fees paid by those who develop it. Development is not the role of government. They will only screw it up. Alex Currie Chemainus

Station great reminder of our great community

We feel truly blessed to live in the Cowichan Valley. Thank you for reminding us of some of the treasures that make this the best place on Earth. Leanne Forest Cowichan

y school’s graduation tonight was lovely and emotional and everything you hope for when you are a high school teacher. But, (and you knew there was a but coming) during the ceremony the valedictorian said something that struck me as both profound and shocking. She said, “most of us were in Grade 1, in our first week of school when the tragedy of 9/11 happened.” It hit me. What a world these children have had to grow up in — a world of fear, constant world tensions and the inundation of security, worry and a general societal paranoia. A world where distrust and an overabundance of precautions are now the norm. And then the other shoe dropped. The government I work for wants to lock in a contract with B.C. teachers for 10 years. I am in no means suggesting the tragedy of 9/11 is the same as our contract struggle. Not at all. But it did get me thinking. I just would suggest that we look at how much the world has changed since 2001 and how changes in B.C. education that will be required in the next 10 years will be significantly thwarted if we don’t have a school system and a collective agreement that will be flexible and adaptive to students’ and teachers’ needs. Education is changing. Technology and individualized learning models are now the norm. Padlocking in for 10 years to anything would just not make sense given the rapidity of change in our world. Educators are being told labour peace is the primary benefit of a 10-year deal. But what about the needs of a system to evolve and serve our province’s children and educators? A 10-year deal thwarts and throttles that because so much cannot be negotiated for 10 years. Of course I’d like labour peace. I take zero pleasure in disruptive job actions. But to suggest a 10-year deal is good for B.C. is much like suggesting we all should just stick with the automobile we have now and not get a new one if the current one no longer runs, breaks down or needs new tires. If asking to keep up with the cost of living and having contract rights that were illegally (not rhetoric here folks, but court-determined) returned is considered greedy, then I am greedy. If asking for the government of B.C. to respect both students and teachers in this province by funding education (and yes, gasp, perhaps raise taxes to do it) is the stuff of pipedreams, then call me a smoker. I notice that each year my municipal taxes go up. I don’t like it, but I understand it, because I know that my roads need to be fixed, that the police and firemen in my municipality deserve to keep up with inflation and items like this must be funded. But somehow fundamentally our provincial government has gone to such a neo-conservative extreme that even the words tax increase are seen as heretical. Why is this? Nobody would sign a 10-year cell phone deal, why would we do it with our children’s futures? And our careers?

Duncan doctors ready to open walk-in clinic in Lake Cowichan Tyson Jones

and Sundays. “We are all full-practise family physicians, we all have family practices, and most of us have hospital privileges,” said Rossouw. “I can see this as a very good solution for this community.” The need for doctors and health care in the Cowichan Lake area has been on the minds of many since the two current doctors announced their pending departure, scheduled for the end of September. Though the clinic will start on a first-comefirst-served, drop-in basis, there are plans to turn it into a by-appointment clinic, if an interest is shown from the community, and funding is found, Rossouw said.

ake Cowichan will not be left without doctors after all. A new walk-in clinic will be coming to the Cowichan Lake area sometime in September, said Dr. Vincent Rossouw, a family physician from the Beverly Medical Clinic in Duncan. Rossouw, and two other physicians will open the walk-in clinic in the same building as the Lake Cowichan drug store. It will start operations on a part-time basis. Coverage will be provided Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and half days on most Saturdays

FAITH

“Unfortunately, because of the funding issue, one doctor has already said that he is not going to look any further,” Rossouw said. The doctors are seeking funding from VIHA to compensate them for their travel time, but it is not an easy process. Programs and funding exist through the province, but Rossouw has to convince VIHA to apply. “It’s a very long process to get accepted as a community of need, and Lake Cowichan doesn’t qualify because it’s less than 100 kilometres away from a bigger centre. There are numerous exceptions to this rule and they would grant the funding, but it has to come through VIHA, and VIHA has to apply to the ministry,” Rossouw said.

“Things that would qualify as an exception: Are there a lot of older people in the community? Are the roads quite hazardous, is it difficult to get there, and is there no other medical help around.” Though there is no certainty funding will become available, the doctors are going to move forward with the clinic because they believe it’s the best solution to Lake Cowichan’s need for medical care. “I can see this being an excellent way out, to save a lot of money for the government, but I don’t know their mandates. It’s strange to me that they would start a primary care clinic, if they could actually have doctors going up there at a tenth of the price,” Rossouw said.

Every year we have a great time worshiping in the Park, we decided to do it again this summer. At the Waterwheel Park in Chemainus, a group of us from the Chemainus Pentecostal Church and from the Korean Baptist Church of Vancouver, will gather for three great evenings on August 2, 3, & 4 for good gospel music, preaching and other amazing things. With all the pressure and stresses going on in our world, it's nice to take a little time to praise God for what we hope that all of you will come and join us for the evenings of fellowship and fun, starting at 6:30pm. If you would like to more information please contact us at Chemainus Pentecostal Tabernacle at (250)246-3810. Hope to see you there. Submitted by: Pastor Boyd Tremblett

Meet the woman wearing the green cape in Cowichan Cowichan Green Community: Wytenbroek honoured as valley’s Green Superhero

Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

n true Superhuman fashion, Lynn Wytenbroek is humble about her heroism. “I never envisioned myself a superhero, although I’ve always tried to be ‘green,’” the founding member of Cowichan Bio-diesel (CB-DC) and recent recipient of Cowichan Green Communities Green Superhero honour said. “I try to both produce and promote local, healthy food and a clean, sustainable environment. I think what I try to do both around food and the environment is important, but not heroic. “I know a lot of people who are committed to both working for local food security and for the environment, so I don’t see myself as out of the ordinary,” she said. Wytenbroek received her title at CGC’s annual meeting, June 18. “Being recognized by the CGC is a huge honour,” the hobby farm owner

said. “The CGC is the go-to place here in the valley for anything to do with food security and sustainable food production. “Their vision for the valley is an important one, and the aids and events they create such as the Food Map and the Edible Garden Tour connect local farmers and food growers in general with the public — which is a great service to both the agricultural sector and the community here in Cowichan.” The Vancouver Island University prof’s large household garden will be featured on CGC’s Edible Garden Tour Aug. 17. “I have a small market garden, which we are hoping to increase in size significantly this spring. I have a new food forest, about a quarter-acre, with another one planned for the spring, as well as sheep, turkeys, layer hens, ducks and seasonal meat birds and pigs.” Wytenbroek does admit she has a “fierce commitment to working on the environment and local food issues, both

in producing food and educating about the issues.” She’s currently a member of the CGC, Transition Cowichan, and a past member of Cowichan Kairos (a group that put on a number of environmental educational events). For 11 years she was the host of the radio show CHANGES on CHLY in Nanaimo. “But most of my time right now is devoted to producing food, helping others learn how to produce food through courses on my farm, and promoting environmental awareness through the courses I teach at VIU,” she said. And her brainchild, Cowichan Biodiesel is also going strong, working with Cowichan Energy Alternatives and was recently the subject of a documentary on alternative fuels. Wytenbroek’s advice to folks thinking about breaking into the community of like-minded, environmentally sensitive Cowichanians, is getting involved with groups like CGC and Transition Cowichan, and linking with others working on food security and resilience. And for those interested in energy issues, there are several groups she suggest checking out, as well as groups working on local water issues. “Most of all, grow your own food. Convert lawns to food-growing spaces wherever and whenever

Honourable mentions included Pat Amos, Eugene Fleck, Don Skerik, Shirley and Joe Briggs, Peter Nix, Amber Altman, Ted Leischner, Craig Evans, One Cowichan, and Cycle Cowichan.

2013 Honda Civics Achieve TOP SAFETY PICK+ Rating The new 2013 Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe have received the highest available safety rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This recognition makes the Civic Sedan and Coupe the first and only IIHS Small cars in the industry to earn a TOP SAFETY PICK+. Honda leads all other brands in achieving TOP SAFETY PICK+ ratings with four models – Civic Sedan and Coupe, and Accord Sedan and Coupe. Further, for the 2013 model year, all Honda and Acura models tested1 by the IIHS have received a TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating. “If you want a compact car with a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, the 2013 Honda Civic is the only choice,” said Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning and logistics at American Honda. “We believe this is a distinct competitive advantage, especially as more and more consumers place a premium on crash rating performance.” The new Civic Sedan, equipped with the second generation of the Honda Ad-

vanced Compatibility Body Structure™ (ACE™II), is not only the first Small car to earn TOP SAFETY PICK+ in the industry, but also the first and only to earn the highest possible rating of GOOD on the IIHS’ new small overlap frontal crash test (sometimes called a ‘narrow offset’ test). This aggressive test is designed to simulate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or utility pole at high speed. The ACE™II reinforced body structure found on the 2013 Civic further enhances frontal crash energy through a wider range of these offset and oblique collision scenarios. Additional standard safety equipment on all Civic models include Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control; an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS); side curtain airbags; dual-stage, multiplethreshold front airbags; and driver and front passenger side airbags. Honda Safety Leadership Honda has a long history of leadership in the development and application of

advanced technologies and designs to enhance the safety of all road users, including automobile occupants, motorcycle riders, and pedestrians. The company operates two of the world’s most sophisti-

cated crash test facilities and is responsible for numerous pioneering efforts in the areas of crashworthiness, airbag technology, collision compatibility and pedestrian safety. This commitment to safety is root-

ed in Honda’s goal to be a company that society wants to exist, and it complements the company’s leadership in reducing vehicle emissions, improving fuel efficiency and advancing alternatives to gasoline.

Woods while he was attending high school in Duncan in the ‘60s. She encouraged the young man (who grew up to be a provincial court judge) in his love of literature. “I lost touch with Miss Bazett after leaving to attend university. However, I have since learned she had a friendship with the much-respected Canadian writers of the 1950s (and sometime Duncan residents) Wilfred and Sheila Watson. I am interested now to learn more about Miss Bazett and her connection with the Watsons. I am considering writing an article about them,” he writes. “If any of your readers (and, particularly, any living members of the broader Bazett family) have any information to share, I would be most interested to hear from them. I can be reached by e-mail at TWoods@provincialcourt.bc.ca.” Exciting things happening for you, your friends or your family that you want to share with your community?

keyboard stylings to Duncan Saturday for a performance at the Duncan United Church. She will perform Beethoven’s sonata Appassionata Op. 57, Ravel’s Jeux d’Eau and Prokoﬁev’s War Sonata 7. “It will be my deepest joy to be able to travel through the sounds of piano, and to share the

miraculous wonders and laws of the universe,” she said. “Beethoven, Ravel, and Prokoﬁeff inherited this creatured-music and, 100 to 200 years later, still the composition lives like a ﬁrebird.” The music starts at 7 p.m. Admission is by $20 suggested donation at the door (246 Ingram St. Duncan).

Thompson Square will spread the love in SunFest debut Ashley Degraaf

Husband-and-wife duo Keifer and Shawna Thompson and defending Country Music Association Vocal Duo of the Year are Thompson Square, one of the premier attractions in this year’s SunFest.

hey’re country sweethearts way too cute for their own good. That is the twanging twosome Thompson Square set as one of SunFest’s headliner acts coming to Cowichan Saturday, Aug. 3. American country sensations Keifer and Shawna Thompson have been married for 14 years. And they’re not afraid to show their love on stage. “I couldn’t imagine now not being on stage with him, looking over and not having him there beside me,” said Shawna last Wednesday while she and Kiefer took a break to chat with the News Leader Pictorial from Cheyenne, Wyoming. The couple performed later that evening with country star Luke Bryan for a packed show staged at the annual rodeo festival Frontier Days. “He’s like another limb,” said Shawna of her hubby. “Like a third arm,” Keifer quipped. “We decided a long time ago, we were going to do it together. And we don’t like being apart.” That’s evident in lyrics featured in the couple’s latest album Just Feels Good released March 26 as well as in the duo’s first novel Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not based on their Grammy-nominated song of the same title. T2 is both the Academy of Country Music’s (ACM) and the Country Music Association’s (CMA)

reigning Vocal Duo of the Year and recently won its second ACM title this past April in Las Vegas. T2 made history in March 2010 when it became the first new duo in 20 years to win the ACM Top Vocal Duo winning the award over superstars Sugarland. They followed that with the ACM win in November 2012 establishing themselves as the only married duo to win CMA’s Vocal Duo of the Year since the creation of the award. T2 is currently on the road with Bryan on his first ever head-lining tour, which wraps up Oct. 26 in West Palm Beach. But before that comes to a close, they’ll get a taste of Cowichan as they take a break from touring to dazzle Cowichanians. It will be their first time visiting the Warm Land. “It’s all brand new to us and it’s going to be a cool experience for us to learn about the area,” said Shawna, noting they’re not new to Vancouver Island and have friends living in Victoria, but have never travelled beyond the capital city. “We have great friends in Victoria and we’ve spent quite a bit of time there and it’s beautiful,” explained Shawna. “And they’re going to come to the show.” Travelling on the road together has been bittersweet, the couple agreed, noting smooth sailing so far. “There are days where we have our challenges,” explained Shawna. “But we absolutely love what we do and it’s amazing to be able to do it

together. “There was a short period where we were apart, and he was on the road, and we fought more than ever then,” she said. And for Keifer, keeping their marriage alive and well is as simple as his tip to married folks, “Don’t go to bed angry and with anyone else.” Their disclaimer to Cowichanians is “expect a good time.” “We like to party. We’re not some boring couple playing love songs all night,” Keifer said. They’re pumped about their first appearance at Cowichan’s SunFest now being dubbed as a replacement for the former Merritt Mountain Festival. “Festivals are our favourite. The crowds are always so crazy and the crazier the better,” said Keifer.

Get your acts together SunFest kicks off Thursday, Aug. 1, with several bands and even line-dancing lessons warming up the stage. Friday’s headliners include Dallas Smith (6:20 p.m.), Thomas Rhett (7:45 p.m.) and Clay Walker (9:25 p.m.). Saturday’s stars include Jerrod Niemann (7:40 p.m.) and Thompson Square (9:25 p.m.) And Sunday’s big performers are Chad Brownlee (6:15 p.m.) and Alan Jackson (8 p.m.) Several other bands are also billed during the weekend on both the Budweiser Saloon Stage and mainstage.

Twelfth Night another outdoor Gem O’ The Isle gem

Review: Laughs meet love outdoors in Shawnigan Players’ terrific take on Shakespeare’s timeless tale Peter W. Rusland

News Leader Pictorial

welfth Night delightfully fell again Friday in Cowichan with Shawnigan Players’ outdoor staging of Shakespeare’s cheeky comedyromance. Friday’s run at tranquil Gem O’ The Isle B&B deserved its standing ovation as director Alex Gallacher — returning as Malvolio after bard@brentwood’s 2007 version — and his cast used a bare wooden stage, period costumes, and swords to slice into raucous high jinks. Twelfth Night complemented the Players’ 2012 Gem of a hit, Pride and Prejudice. Both plays are perched on romance, comeuppances, and downfalls filtered through exemplary dialogue. Again, Gallacher’s naked stage allowed viewers to focus on the bard’s deliciously deft lines, emotional expressions and actions, offbeat plot, and nuances

But she falls for Cesario Orsino loves wealthy widow (Viola), while Viola’s smitten by Olivia (Laura Falukner), whose the Duke.

Enter tipsy Toby and Aguecheek, Maria and Feste who send foppish Malvolio a fake letter, leading him to believe Olivia loves him — if he smiles and wears yellow stockings. The winding plot used humour, asides, longing and egotism to deliver messages about conquering conceit, finding true love, and fighting for loyal friends. Forgiving some misfired lines, Gallacher’s lively work was a wonderful cuckoo clock. Standouts were Phillips’ clever Viola, Millar’s gentleman monarch, Kemp and Norris’ marinated pranksters, Bill Levity’s musically witty jester, and Faulkner’s frustrated Olivia. And Gallacher embodied the thinking-person’s thespian, directing and starring in Twelfth Night. His slick escape from a centre-stage trap door would have impressed Houdini. The bard truly lives in Cowichan with memorable works such as Shawnigan Players’ terrific Twelfth Night. It runs Aug. 3 at 2 p.m.; Aug. 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 door, $15 advance at Duncan’s Ten Old Books, and Mason’s Store in Shawnigan Village. Shakespearean romantic-comedy rating: 9 fops out of 10.

Community Welcome BJORNSON, Baldur June 24, 1922 - July 22, 2013

SCHWYN, Geoff November 22, 1928 â€“ July 27, 2013

It is with sadness and loving remembrance that we announce the peaceful passing of Baldur Bjornson on Monday July 22, 2013. Baldur was born 91 years ago on the family farm in Framnes, Manitoba. He grew up to be a man known for his physical strength and an even stronger independent spirit, which led him to an early life of adventure as a trapper and bush pilot in the Interlake region of Manitoba. He later brought his creative skills to work as a self-employed furniture maker and carpenter. He met and fell in love with his beloved Betty when they were seated across from each other at a dinner/ dance, and they married in 1946. They resided in Winnipeg and Arborg with their three children, and in 1967 moved the family to Duncan BC.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, July 27, 2013, after a lengthy respiratory illness, Geoff lost his battle and died peacefully at home with his family by his side. He leaves behind his loving wife of 59 years, Mary, and his twin daughters, Paula France (Chris), and Lisa Thomsen (Eric). He is predeceased by his daughter Jennifer Morrison. His six grandchildren, their partners, and his six great grandchildren will miss him terribly. Geoff and Mary retired and moved from Westham Island to Maple Bay on Vancouver Island in 1999. In his retirement, Geoff enjoyed fishing for prawns and ling cod on the â€œOptimistâ€?, with his longtime deckhand, Mary, by his side. The family wishes to thank Dr. Rimmer and Dr. Manhas for their excellent care. They also wish to acknowledge the Respiratory Homecare Services, BC Ambulance Services, the staff of the Continuing Health Services Home and Community Care Program, and the nurses at the Chemainus Hospital Emergency. All those special people provided such wonderful care, support, and comfort to Geoff and his family during the final months of his life. A private family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Beacon Hill Park Petting Zoo Animal Sponsorship Program (www.beaconhillchildrensfarm.ca). On line condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

In his retirement years, Baldur loved to make new friends and was never without a project or a quest to acquire new skills. He taught himself to build looms, bake bread, make sausages and homemade wine and even distill spirits. He leaves behind his vegetable garden and flowers in full bloom. Baldur is survived and missed by his wife Betty, sons Derek (Jocelyn), Kim (Dawn), and daughter Dora Leigh. He was a proud â€œAfiâ€? to grandchildren Stefan (Alicia), Erik, Kevin, Julian (Cara), Aris, Cameron, Emily, and Alexi, and a â€œLongafiâ€? to great grandsons Owen, Collin, and Thorin. Our heartfelt thanks to Drs. Glen Robinson and Willie Pewarchuk and the nursing staff at the CDH and Community Chemotherapy Centre for their wonderful care, and a very special thanks to Conni Konkin. In respect to Baldurâ€™s wishes, there will be no funeral. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

Hot weather, hot play for the ladies at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club

ATHLETICS

Cowichan Golf and Country Club ladies’ play has been matching the hot weather. Players began picking up the pace during the June 12 novelty round. Winners in their respective handicap divisions were: Melinda Spoor, Ellen Merriam (left), Mazine Klee, Mary Braithwaite and Leigh Forrest.

Merriam was also closest to the pin on No. 6 and Braithwaite made one of those rare chip-ins during the event. Conditions were sunny and warm for a medal, pin, spoon round June 19, with Nancy Munro, Shirley Walker, Judy Turner and Klee leading the way in their respective handicap divisions.

Birdies were recorded by Tina Pace on No. 13 and Christa Robson on No. 14. K.P. winners included: Lynda Morrison (No. 6); Linda Young (No. 8), Joan Wakelin (No. 13) and Naz Sicherman (No. 15). Pat Davis and Robson both recorded chip-ins on No. 14 while Walker and Pace did the same on No. 9 and 11, respectively.

Cowichan girls have sold their skill to the Devils Victoria fastball: The commute adds a strain but seven local players make the most of their opportunities

Duncan’s Victoria Devils connection, back row from left includes: Kayley Gerard, Rayne Hankins, Sydney Jordan and Caleigh Coels. Front: Demi Rose, Jolene Bull, Darrian Gerard.

News Leader Pictorial

uncan talent is providing a big boost to the Victoria Devils Fastball Club’s program. There are currently seven girls from the valley playing on Devils teams at the various age levels. All the girls make a huge commitment to play ball

in Victoria. Jolene Bull is the oldest player in the group and a member of the ‘95 Devils. She played for the Victoria Fastball Club in 2011 and returned to the Red Hots in Duncan in 2012. This year, Bull is playing with all 1995 born players in their final season of minor softball. Bull is a pitcher, second baseman and outfielder who carries a strong bat. She will be attending Durham College in Ontario as a member of the Durham Lords fastball team next season. It’s an excellent program that has produced national championship teams in 16 of the past 20 years. At the other end of the age spectrum are the ‘98 Devils, with the valley’s Rayne Hankins, Demi Rose and Kailey Gerard in the lineup. “The coaching is really good at preparing you for what’s going to be coming for the season,’’ said Hankins. “But it’s always a shocker when you get into that first game.’’ Hankins patrols left field for the team that begins play at the provincial bantam championships in Victoria this weekend. “I just really like left field, all the pop flies that you get,’’ she said. “It’s just that adrenaline rush when you have those few seconds to get to the ball.’’ Hankins, who’s in her third year playing for the team, competed in the B.C. Summer Games last year. Rose also has Summer Games experience from last year. She was a pick-up player last year for two teams that allowed her to play in both the Western and National tournaments. Rose has been working hard to develop her pitching. “I practise a lot with pitching coach Rob Guenter,’’ she said.

Andrew Leong

“He’s also the Team Canada national coach. It’s good to have him helping. He just shows me different pitches and how to make it better.’’ Gerard is in her first season as a Victoria Fastball Club member. She played as the youngest member of the Duncan Red Hots in Midget B last season. Gerard is speedy on the basepaths, has a strong bat and also pitches and comes in handy as a utility player. Rounding out the roster with the ‘96 Devils are Caleigh Coels, Darrian Gerard and Sydney Jordan. Coels is in her sixth year playing in Victoria. She has a strong bat and takes ownership of the outfield. Coels helped her team to silver at provincials and participated

in the nationals during 2012. Gerard played in Victoria in 2011, came back to the Red Hots in 2012 and returned to the Devils this season. She’s always been a speedy player and always smiling. All the Red Hots were developed to be utility players, including Gerard, and she also pitches. Jordan played for a Ladysmith/Nanaimo team previously. She took a big step this year and is fitting in perfectly. The girls all do individual sessions as well as with the team during the season and the off-season. The time they put into the sport nearly doubles with the commute but none of them would change that for anything with the successes they’re having.

Midget A1 Cowichan Thunder closes out the season with a bronze medal Ashley Degraaf

News Leader Pictorial

t couldn’t have been a more bittersweet season wrap up for the Midget A1 Thunder lacrosse squad. The boys brought home a bronze medal finish in the provincial championships on the Mainland over the weekend. “It was a very emotional dressing room after our last game with a few tears shed and hugs all around with the realization that our time together playing as one team was done,” wrote coach Lorne Winship in an email to the News Leader Pictorial. “The majority of our team with the exception of two players will all move to senior lacrosse next season, some to Intermediate A in Nanaimo and Victoria and some to Intermediate B, hopefully in Cowichan.” Over the past six years, Thunder’s done exceptionally well in the A1

level, explained Winship, “in second year Peewee, second year Bantam and now second year Midget. “Rarely, based on our association being quite small, do Cowichan teams play at that level.” The boys suited up Wednesday, winning their first bout against JDF 7-6. Thursday they slipped another win in against Langley 9-7 before a tough 10-1 loss to Coquitlam. They bounced back Friday with a victory over New Westminster 4-2 before losing to the eventual gold medal winners Poco 8-6. “That was the end of the round robin portion, placing us third of the six teams,” explained Winship. “On Saturday night we played Coquitlam (seeded #2) in the crossover game and lost 5-2. (It was) a much better game than our first go with that team. The loss put us into the bronze medal game against our arch rivals from the Island, JDF, who we beat a

Thunder’s Colin Winship took the “The score was 2-2 after the first MVP title in their first match and period and then 3-3 after the second,” during the tournament banked seven said Winship. “In the 10 games that goals, nine assists for a total of 16

points. Their second game’s MVP was handed to Taylor Martin, who had eight goals, five assists and 13 points. Game three, six, and seven’s (the final bronze medal match) MVP Braylon Lumb also racked up 14 points with 10 goals and four assists. Goalie Marc Gagnon was awarded game four’s MVP as was Derek Hayes in game five. Hayes also found net three times and made two assists, bringing his points total to five. During tournament play Tyson Black tallied two goals and nine assists for a total of 11 points and Brandon Corby four goals and four assists for eight points. “Words cannot describe how much of a thrill it was coaching these boys over the past six years,” said Winship. “...Unbelievable players on and off the floor which I was privileged to be a part of and I will cherish forever.”
