There’s more than one way to grill a chicken Langford cook heads to international competition Kyle Wells News staff

The perfect piece of grilled chicken is basted in a precise way, has the exact right grill marks and never, ever has the wing tips burnt. Langford’s David McMillan can tell you all about the perfect piece of chicken, as he is heading to an international competition for Nando’s cooks, being held in Australia. Grillers from 20 countries will converge on Oct. 28 to see who has the best chops. To get to this point McMillan, who has worked at Nando’s Langford for about three years, won regional competitions and a national competition, the latter held in Burnaby on Aug. 8. McMillan’s supervisor, Rahul Bhatia, sprung the whole process on the young griller only a few days before his first regional competition, so there wasn’t much time to prepare. “Honestly, it felt like it could go either way when I was going in there. I felt like a little fish going into a big pond,” McMillan said. “It wasn’t too easy, but it definitely wasn’t too challenging.” Cooks are judged on the quality of the finished product, including all the nit picky points above, along with grading for a series

of values, including passion, pride, integrity and family. “He’s just consistently been an amazing cook here,” Bhatia said. “I’m pretty strict with our standards here and he’s just exceeded them since pretty much day one.” For nationals McMillan also had to invent a new chicken dish, so he come up with the pulled chicken slider, a small sandwich featuring peppers, onions, feta and the chicken. Bhatia and McMillan agree it’s partly his attitude towards work which makes the griller stand out. McMillan doesn’t know where this commitment to doing his best comes from, but he tries to live by it, in all aspects of his life. “I just do my best I guess,” McMillan said. “Always go above and beyond. If you can do something good, try to do better. Always try to do better.” McMillan has never been out of Canada before and is looking forward to the trip. He’ll have some time to look around before donning his special international competition chefs jacket and hitting the grill. Bhatia said he wouldn’t be surprised to see McMillan take top prize. “There are grillers who have been grilling for 20 years, there are grillers that are grilling 10 or 15 times the volume that we do. But skill is still skill,” he said. “With his attitude and skill set I Kyle Wells/News staff don’t see why he isn’t a contender to win it.” Langford Nanado’s chef David McMillan is heading to Australia to try and kwells@goldstreamgazette.com prove he can cook a piece of chicken like no other can.

Highlands Coun. Ken Williams, West Shore Parks and Recreation administrator Linda Barnes and Bryan Wood, parks surpervisor, unveil a plaque dedicating the recently completed upgrades to the facility’s trail system and field lighting.

Despite raining cats and dogs, the newly refurbished walking trail at West Shore Parks and Recreation was still good to go as it was officially completed last Thursday. Improvements to the trail, including a resurfacing and grading improvements, mean it is easy to use in all weather conditions and more easily accessible for strollers, wheelchairs and other user needs. Along with the upgrades to the facility’s 2.5 kilometre trail, the project also included adding lights to more soccer fields, allowing nighttime play. WSPR marked the official completion of its field and track accessibility enhancement project with a plaque unveiling, highlighting the District of Highlands’ role. Two-thirds of the money for the project came from a grant earned

by the District of Highlands. A total of $201,000 came from the grant, while a further $100,000 came from the regular WSPR budget. “We were able to use (the grant) for everybody who participates in the West Shore,” said Highlands Coun. Ken Williams. “People from all over these municipalities, Colwood, Langford, Highlands, all use this facility so it’s a way of making it come together and doing the greater good.” “It’s obviously a win-win for us, it’s a win-win for the region. It was an easy decision.” “Instead of putting, say, a playing field in Highlands, they donated or gave the money to West Shore (Parks and Recreation) to be able to do this for all the municipalities,” said WSPR administrator Linda Barnes. “We’re always looking for grant opportunities, and we often go through the municipalities.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Leanor Davidson, of Metchosin celebrates gold in the 100-metre sprint with granddaughters Isla and Breanna at the 2013 Senior Games in Kamloops.

Senior returns to podium Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Leanor Davidson is three seconds shy of a record in the 100-metre sprint. Three seconds is a lot in a sprint race, but without real training, and decades between visits to the podium, the Metchosin senior is pretty pleased with her finish. “I had no idea how fast I could run, I knew the record was 15 seconds and I knew that I hadn’t trained,” she said. “I run but I haven’t done sprinting for a long time.” Davidson’s 18-second performance was good for gold in her division in the 33-degree heat of the 2013 Senior Games in Kamloops. First and second place finishes were commonplace during her high school years and she relied on muscle memory and experience of her youth. “That is the last time I did any sprints in competition and I’m 66,” she said.

Davidson used to train kids at Marigold elementary school in Victoria and the Peninsula Track club on the Saanich Peninsula. Now she runs locally with the Juan de Fuca Walk and Run club. “I run with the runners that do the eight, 10k,” she explained. “They don’t have a lot of sprints and none of them want to sprint. I’m not too enthusiastic about that distance. I love sprinting.” She does admit to a little bit of running during rounds of golf in Metchosin with the senior ladies. “I kind of run in between the holes, pushing the cart,” Davidson said. Even without the training, her finish time in the 65-69 category was quicker than the younger 60-64 category. “Next year maybe I can break the record of 15 seconds,” she said, adding with a chuckle. “I think if I trained and lost 10 pounds I could do a lot better.” Participants aged 55 and older competed in 25 different sports Aug. 20 to 24 in Kamloops. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Another year, another dispute With all the busyness of the summer months now over, September is a great time to fall back into a routine. And the provincial government and unions representing teachers and school support staff appear to have their annual routines down pat by now. September, especially since their labour disputes seem to be never-ending in recent years, is when both sides of the bargaining table argue that the other party is uncooperative and doesn’t truly have students’ interests at heart. This annual back-and-forth of finger-pointing just tells us neither side truly believes it’s all about the children. Accusatory bargaining in a public forum does nothing to help the situation we’re faced with, a situation where the kids truly should be the priority. We agree with both sides when they say a deal needs to be reached soon. We agree when they both say that deal has to happen without disrupting students in the classroom. And we agree that education is essential to our children’s futures, and is essential in growing our economy. But we can’t be teaching our youth to play nice and do good when we aren’t walking the talk ourselves. It’s the worst-kept secret that labour relations of any kind – essential service or not – are selfserving to some extent. The province and the teachers both need to quit pretending that they’re only fighting for the children. They need to honestly acknowledge their differences and what they’re fighting for, and find a compromise that isn’t going to negatively impact the goings on in the classroom. Back-to-school season should be a happy, positive experience for everyone. That hasn’t been the case for many years now, and we need to get resolutions soon for the teachers’ and support staff’s contracts. Otherwise, we’re going to have yet another negative school year that could be severely impacted by two massive labour disputes. Let’s do this for the kids. What do you think?

The Surrey school district contract details how even “spare board” employees are to be enrolled in the municipal pension plan, a defined-benefit system most private-sector employees can only dream about. Then there are paid sick days. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation reports that the average B.C. private sector worker took 7.4 sick days last year. The public sector average was 12. The Surrey contract details the windfall of unused sick days that must be paid out to employees who retire as early as age 55. The maximum is 150 days, for a lavish perk only available to employees hired before July 1, 1996. Even so, we’ll be paying these bonuses out for years to come. It goes on and on. Six weeks’ paid vacation after 20 years, with an extra day added for every year after that. There are many little things, such as a $60 “swimsuit allowance” for teacher aides who take part in swimming instruction. This is not to devalue the work done by these people. It is to suggest that given the growing gap between public and private employment benefits, finding savings is reasonable.

Working together creates tourism

Re: Tourism should showcase the region editorial (Our View, Aug. 23) Speaking together as a destination gives us a stronger voice. As the Greater Victoria Visitors & Convention Bureau, known as Tourism Victoria, we provide a voice for more than 700 business members, linking the entire region together when promoting our destination worldwide. Greater Victoria is a unique destination and each municipality offers visitors an incomparable and diverse experience. Whether it is promoting wine tasting on the Saanich Peninsula, encouraging visitors to explore the west coast wilderness at our doorstep, investing in festivals and regional sporting events, or showing off our beautiful Inner Harbour, Tourism Victoria promotes the entire destination. Our destination promotion includes a variety of tactics, including our

current Community Spotlights feature. The Community Spotlight brings each region to the forefront of our sales and marketing efforts, communicating to our consumers the breadth and depth of the region’s exceptional offerings. With funding support from the Victoria Hotel Destination Marketing Association, Tourism Victoria invests in festivals and events that revitalize our destination. Most recently, the Victoria International Buskers Festival, Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon and Rugby Canada Championships saw Greater Victoria buzzing with activity. Tourism Victoria’s mission is to inspire the world to experience our destination. Extending length of stay and increasing the economic impact of each visitor is critical to our success. Our strategic plan, available on our website, outlines how we will achieve our mission. Success hinges on collaborative

efforts, working across municipal borders and sectors. Our organization’s work is not defined by a municipality’s name, it is defined by the unique visitor experiences our destination offers. We are grateful to all Greater Victoria municipalities for their support, be it through their membership in Tourism Victoria or their own efforts in supporting and promoting tourism within the region. Tourism is an estimated $1.9 billion industry in Greater Victoria through direct, indirect and induced spending. We all have the same goal - ensuring the success of tourism as an economic driver throughout Greater Victoria. By aligning our collective efforts, Greater Victoria municipalities and businesses are all contributing to a stronger voice for our destination. Dave Cowen Chair, Greater Victoria Visitors & Convention Bureau/Tourism Victoria

Readers respond: speed limits No harm in driving a little slower Re: Lower speed limits dumbs down driving (Letters, Aug. 21) To reduce speed limits treats a symptom, not the problem. But it may still be better than the problem left untreated. One opponent, in his letter to the editor, refers to those who disagree with his view as “Luddites” and “zealots” who can’t drive. He goes on to state if limits on side streets are reduced, then we should be able to do away with driving tests or lessons, because ‘anybody’ should be capable of controlling a car at 40 km/h. This arrogant sense of entitlement is part of the real menace on our roads. There is no harm in slowing down a little. Most sensible drivers already do 40 km/h on side streets, maybe even 30

km/h on some. To formally reduce the limits acknowledges this. Cyclists and pedestrians can’t speed up, so drivers should share the space. Marsha Henderson Saanich

Lower limits is about respecting neighbours

Re: Lower speed limits dumbs down driving (Letters, Aug. 21) We once thought driving was about getting everywhere as quickly as possible. It helped us consume the planet as fast as possible. It was “the good life.” But values change. Some people now speak of “liveable streets,” places where we share driving, cycling and walking. Safety matters of course, but that may not be all-important. A feeling of comfort and living together also matters.

In Saanich, often without sidewalks and with on-street parking, this can mean walking and cycling between parked cars. We can meet a neighbour whose driveway one used to fly past. We can enjoy healthier lifestyles. We might not consume the planet so fast. Mostly, slower driving (on secondary residential streets, not on faster arterials) is about respecting other people, valuing that we live together and caring about the world we pass to our children’s children. It’s time to retire a view that only cowards and incompetents will slow down. Greg Holloway Saanich

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart and Dr. Chris Snow

Children’s Eyewear Care: A primer for parents So your child is the proud owner of a pair of glasses! You should be aware that those glasses, at any given time, could be knocked to the floor, stepped on, sat on, squished in the bottom of a backpack, or even used as a sling shot. To ensure your child understands how important it is to treat his or her eyewear responsibly, here are other ideas to prolong the life of a pair of glasses: Make it an open and shut case. When the glasses aren’t in use, keep them safely tucked inside a hard case, marked with the child’s name and telephone number. Be a clean freak. Lenses should be cleaned at least once a day with warm soapy water or an appropriate lens cleaner – never wipe your lenses when they are dry! Jump in with both hands. Remind your child never to remove his or her glasses with only one hand – this is often the cause of many a misaligned and uncomfortable frame. Get adjusted. Glasses that stay in good shape are glasses that are readjusted from time to time, particularly if pressure marks appear on your child’s nose or behind his or her ears. And here’s a piece of good news: today’s eyeglasses are sturdier than ever, and meant to withstand general wear and tear.

News staff

The biggest day in Metchosin each year is anticipated to draw in thousands of people to the rural municipality, Sept. 8. “People should come out because it’s the only really old fashioned-themed fair on the Island,” said Coun. Jo Mitchell, who’s volunteered at Metchosin Day for 20 years. The day begins at 8 a.m. with a five-kilometre run and walk, and after burning off come calories it’s time for the Scouts pancake breakfast. Metchosin Day began in 1967, but this year marks the 20th anniversary of the run. This year seniors in the over 55 category will race against each other and collect pledges. All money raised will go towards the Metchosin Senior Information and Resource Centre. For the rest of the day the field will be filled with actives, displays and artisans with more than 100 booths set up. Musicians will perform on the stage throughout the day with musical genres spanning from country to jazz. A beer and wine garden is also available for people 19 and over. Several food tents and vendors will offer up all sorts of coveted fair foods including hot dogs, ice cream and corn on the cob. Throughout the day Metchosin-raised lambs and salmon will be cooked over a wood fire and served up at dinner for $15 per plate. Registration for the run/walk is from 7 a.m. to 7:45 at the Metchosin Community Hall, 4401 William Head Rd. To sponsor a senior call the Metchosin Senior Information and Resource Centre at 250-478-5150.

Comedy duo explores their bodies

MARy ELLEN GREEN arts@mondaymag.com

et ready for a journey into the ear of one of the funniest people to ever live in Victoria when sketch comedy duo Peter n’ Chris mount a special Fringe extension performance of their award winning comedy Peter n’ Chris Explore Their Bodies. The show will take you deep into Chris’ digestive tract, where the Hungry Games unfold. “It’s more of a fantasy genre,” says Chris Wilson, born and raised in Victoria. “My head is being taken over by hypochondria, which is personified by evil little men. They take over my body and we go inside via a magic housecoat to fight it.” “Whenever I explain it, it sounds really dumb — and it is dumb. It’s Lord of the Rings meets Narnia meets Gladiator.” The latest in the pair’s string of critically acclaimed comedies, Explore their Bodies took home a Just for Laughs Best Comedy Award at the Montreal Fringe, a Best of Fest award in Winnipeg, a Pick of the Fringe award at last year’s Vancouver Fringe Festival and was an official selection of the Chicago SketchFest and a featured act at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival in 2012. It’s making its Victoria debut at the Metro Studio (1411 Quadra) Sept. 4-5. Last time the duo performed a show in Victoria was at UVic’s Phoenix Theatre Spotlight on Alumni with Peter n’ Chris: The Mystery of the Hungry Heart Motel, a show which was recently nominated for a Canadian Comedy

Award. Peter n’ Chris were also nominated for Best Sketch Troupe at the CCA’s. Wilson moved to Toronto in January while Peter Carlone lives in Vancouver. The pair have been

collaborating and rehearsing via Skype ever since. “It’s something we did when we both lived in Vancouver. Peter lived on the East Side and I was in Kits, so it’s somewhat the same,” says Wilson. “We like to write on the road anyway. Even though it’s a busy time, there’s always some time during the day to write.” The pair cruises the Fringe circuit over the summer (they didn’t get into the Victoria or Vancouver Fringes this year), spending time with what Wilson calls the “travelling hobo gypsy theatre family,” and usually have a new show written by the end of the season. They currently have about 50 per cent of a new show written, loosely based on Back to the Future, with a working title of Backwards to the Forward Times. “Something like that, or as close to Back to the Future as we can get without getting in trouble,” Wilson says. The pair met while studying theatre at UVic in 2005. In 2008, Wilson applied for the Victoria Fringe and got in. They wrote and performed their first full-length show The Peter n’ Chris Show with Peter n’ Chris in 2009. They’ve written “four and a half” shows since, with a serious rewrite of the first show included. “It was basically what we do now, but it wasn’t any good,” says Wilson. “It was good enough that we were able to try again.” Wilson attributes the pair’s common education for making it so easy to work together. “We both came through the same program, so it was easy to get started. We speak the same language, have the same education and took the same movement classes. I think we both find each other quite funny and trust that if one of us is laughing, the audience might be too.” The Sept. 4-5 performances of Peter n’ Chris Explore their Bodies are $15 at ticketrocket.org.

around the breweries and we’re not quite there yet. But we will be, and we want to give back to the people who take care of us.” Walker put the word out and within 24 hours she had 12 breweries on board. “People either said yes on the spot or vehemently no,” she says. Walker’s grandfather is currently fighting prostate cancer and thought that since cancer is a disease that has touched so many people, it was the perfect fit for the project. “It’s a charity that hits close to home,” she says. “It’s also one of the top rated charities in B.C.” And while most would assume the calendar will only feature burly male brewers, Walker says there will be two women, both from Victoria, included in the calendar; Walker herself and Kala Hadfield from Spinnakers. The first printing of the calendar will make it’s debut at the Great Canadian Beer Festival Sept. 6 and 7 at Royal Athletic Park. They are $20 and all proceeds go to the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Subsequent printings will be available at the retail outlets of each brewery and at local liquor stores.

rewers and brewery employees from across the province are getting ready to bare their beer bellies for a cause. The project, Beautiful Brewers of B.C. calendar, features the naked bodies of brewers from 12 B.C. breweries, baring it all to raise money and awareness for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Spearheaded by local brewpub Moon Under Water and photographer Stacey Aumonier, the calendar features employees from Hoyne Brewing Co., Spinnakers Brewpub, Moon Under Water and Vancouver Island brewery as well as Parallel 49, Deep Cove, R+B, Coal Harbour and Storm from Vancouver, Surrey’s Central City, Howe Sound from Squamish and Tofino Brewing. “I used to model,” says Chelsea Walker, coowner of Moon Under Water and organizer of the project. “So that was part of the inspiration. I was looking for a project for all the brewers to work together on and I thought no one’s ever seen anything quite like this before. It’s going to help the brewers because it shows that we care about our community and it’s really going to push us all to the next level as figure heads in the community.

Prospects land Royals signings

The Victoria Royals signed three forwards last week, Landon Welykholowa, Matt Dykstra and Jared Dmytriw. All three have committed to the Royals and will compete for a spot either this or next season. Welykholowa, from Calgary, was originally drafted by the Prince Albert Raiders in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft, and landed the contract as an invite. Dykstra, a resident of Edmonton, is a fourth round pick of the Royals in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft. Dmytriw was drafted by the Royals in the fourth round of the 2013 WHL draft. Dmytriw is set to play midget for the Moose Jaw Generals this year.

Robert Bettauer and Hobbs reached the men’s 55 doubles final. Victoria’s Hannes Blum had a strong performance, finishing third in the 45 singles division, and second in the 45 men’s doubles with Shawn Lusignan. Karen Clarke also made the ladies 50 doubles final.

Evan Horvath was great with the kids during ball hockey camp at Braefoot Park last week but the question remains as to how he’ll fare on the ice for the Saanich Braves this season. The Braves kick off the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season at home on Friday (Sept. 6) against Westshore Wolves at Pearkes. Coach Brad Cook has already committed to 16-year-old Horvath of Whistler, a solid endorsement since the roster is still not set. Junior B teams tend to keep a number of spots open for returning players who are late cuts from major junior and junior A teams. “Shawn McBride is a full timer with the Victoria Grizzlies this year and Seamus McGuire has gone to Flin Flon to try and land a Jr. A spot, so we wish those guys all the best,” Cook said. Returning to lead the Braves are Nick Guerra and VIJHL defenceman of the year Garrett

Six-year-old Cadel Thompson, front, braved the rains last week to play ball hockey with Braefoot summer campers Ryder Green, centre, and Mindalynn Frelick, right. Hockey sessions were led by the Saanich Jr. Braves, including Nick Guerra, top left, Evan Horvath, top centre and Jack Rachwalski. Travis Paterson/News staff

Goalie Matt Vinc stops a shot while defender Scott Carnegie disrupts Langley Thunder shooter Mark Matthews the Shamrocks 4-3 overtime win in Game 4 at Bear Mountain Arena.

Bring on the Chiefs WLA champion Shamrocks host Mann Cup Travis Paterson News staff

The Victoria Shamrocks host the Mann Cup at Bear Mountain Arena this week for the first time since winning it in there in 2005. The Rocks won the Western Lacrosse Association championship with an 8-3 win over the Langley Thunder at The Bear on Thursday (Aug. 29). “That I’m relieved is (an understatement),” said head coach Bob Heyes of winning the WLA championship. “Watching the clock run down (Thursday), there was a big sigh of relief that we’re part-way through (reaching our goal). We’re there, and there (was) a little bit of celebration, but this isn’t the big thing.” The ‘big thing,’ the Mann Cup, starts with Game 1 on Friday (Sept. 6) at Bear Mountain. Game 2 is Saturday. Heyes was the Shamrocks’ backup goalie during its 1997 and 1998 Mann Cup championships. And now in his second season at the helm since taking over from Shamrocks legend Walt Christianson in November 2011, Heyes can also become part of the club’s legendary status. The Rocks will face the Six Nations Chiefs, winners of Ontario’s Major Series Lacrosse. This year will produce the first Mann Cup champion other than the Peterborough Lakers and Brampton Excelsiors since the Shamrocks did it eight years ago. The Shamrocks’ last visit to the Mann Cup was in Peterborough in 2006. “(Friday morning) I was already trying to get some online footage from the MSL final as I

hadn’t seen any of (that series) yet,” Heyes said. Unlike the golden days of the Mann Cup, there’s little mystery about who the Shamrocks are playing. Rhys Duch was with the Chiefs last year and led all scorers with four goals in the final game of the 2012 MSL playoffs, in which the Lakers beat the Chiefs. Matt Vinc was in goal for the Chiefs the previous season.

Mann Cup schedule At Bear Mountain Arena n Game 1: Friday, Sept 6 n Game 2: Saturday, Sept 7 n Game 3: Monday, Sept 9 n Game 4: Tuesday, Sept 10 If necessary n Game 5: Wed. Sept. 11

“In the past all we had was some (rough video) footage, if any, and some newspaper clippings, but nowadays our guys know them and they know us,” Heyes said. When the Chiefs scout the Shamrocks they’ll see a stingy defence that held the top offence in the WLA to an average of four goals per game at Bear Mountain during the WLA final. “It’s cliché but the defence and goaltending were key for us,” Heyes said. “The big signings we had were all offensive guys: Cory Conway, Scott Ranger and (the return of) Duch, and that’s a big part of our team. But we brought (defensive) guys who are athletic and can play different systems, ensuring that was a key part of our game.” The spread of contributions speaks for itself, with the eight goals in Game 6 coming from seven different players. Only captain Scott Ranger

scored twice. Up front, Duch, Jeff Shattler and Mitch Jones scored, and so did Matt Yager, Greg Harnett and Tyler Burton. It’s the fruit of the transition game Heyes has wanted. “Tyler Hass, Dan McRae and Karsen Leung – those three (transition) guys drive the engine that activates the offence. They were key to the strength of how we improved (from Game 1 to 6).” With Corey Small most likely out of the playoffs due to injury, goals from the defence and transition players has been key. So has the play of Jeff Shattler. “You never know where we’re going to get goals from,” Heyes said. McRae is the golden example, as the third-year Shamrock from Oakville, Ont. has five goals this post season. “There’s always been glimpses of what (McRae) can do, but fitting him into the right situation, on the defence that we run now, it suits a lot of our players.” All this goes without saying that the lynchpin for the Shamrocks agains the Thunder was Vinc in net. Vinc outplayed Brodie MacDonald, the WLA goalie of the year. With Nick Rose, the Thunder boasted the top goaltending duo in Canada. Vinc stopped 34 of 37 shots on Thursday, controlling and gobbling up the rebounds. When the Thunder called a pad measurement on Vinc in the first period, it backfired, Heyes said. “We had the gong show in Burnaby (when forward Derek Lowe had to finish the game in goal) so we had addressed it already,” Heyes said. “It inspired Vinc to be even better.” Visit victoriashamrocks.com for tickets. sports@vicnews.com
