said Sooke Teachers Association vicepresident Paul Waterlander. “We want a contract that we can say ‘yes’ to, so we’re picketing every day.”
A young girl was taken to Victoria General Hospital with non life-threatening injuries Wednesday after being stuck by a car in a Langford shopping area parking lot. The girl, described by an eyewitness as age 6 or 7, was walking with her mother along a sidewalk behind the Frontrunners store in the Goldstream Station mall when a woman drove over the curb and struck her. “The woman in (a) red car, just came up, popped the curb and hit the girl and then the mom screamed,” said eyewitness Chris Sundby, who was working in the athletic wear store at the time. “She tried to put it into reverse or whatever, but she ended up driving further up, almost onto the girl.” Sundby said the driver, an elderly woman, eventually did reverse off the curb and stopped the car, as he scrambled to find a phone to call 911 to alert police. “The mom was hysterical and the daughter was crying and the people started running over,” he said. “I think the doctor from the medical clinic ran over.”

There is still no contract. There is no progress, no mediator, or even any negotiations between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the govern-
ment. Signs continue to hang around the necks of teachers picketing in front of schools scheduled to be brimming with students Sept. 2, but time is running out. “We are out here every day to show the public that we are not out on holiday, that we care about public education,”
