As public school begins this week, parents and students alike are scrambling to get everything ready for a new academic year.

Only, this year things are going to be different as the Sooke School District embarks on several new programs emphasizing hands on learning.

The new school year in B.C. is the start of a three-year transition to a new curriculum that allows more flexibility and individual learning.

The basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, collaboration and critical thinking.

Two areas of emphasis for the new curriculum are environmental education and an aboriginal perspective.

Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience.

Next up is widening the updated grade configuration across all schools, which is kindergarten to Grade 5 in elementary, grades 6 to 8 in middle school and grades 9 to 12 in secondary school.

The idea is to allow things such as having students from multiple schools be part of the same sports team or compete in the same league.

The federal government has rejected a grant application from Kemp Lake Water Distribution to connect to the Capital Regional District waterworks system.

KLWD needs to improve its water system to meet the Vancouver Island Health Authoritys drinking water guidelines.

The project would see the Kemp Lake water main extended along West Coast to the CRD water system at Erinan Boulevard.

Im deeply saddened that the government didnt see this as a worthwhile project and give us the grant, said Mike Hicks, CRD director for Juan de Fuca and a member of the water commission.

We still have to fix the water system. We either go it alone or

wait for another round of grants.

The project is estimated to cost $1.8 million of which $1.6 million would likely be covered by senior governments.

Kevan Brehart, chair of the KLWD board, said the Small Community Grant application met all the criteria, but wasnt OKd for funding.

Another round of grant applications is expected in the new year, but no date has been set.

Kemp Lake Water Distribution has been working with the CRD and VIHA for more than five years on the project with several engineering and water quality studies undertaken.

The KLWD looked at several options including building a new water treatment plant and hooking up to the CRD system. Two years ago it was decided to work within the CRD system.

Its been an ongoing process, and the whole time weve been working with VIHA, Brehart said.

The Health Ministry wants to standardize

community drinking water throughout the province. It will meet with the CRD and KLWD officials soon to discuss what the next steps are for the Kemp Lake system.

Its not a case of the water being deadly, and we have to do something about it tomorrow, Brehart said. Its just a case that our system doesnt meet the new standards for treatment.

Brehart said if a second intake of grant applications begin early next year, it would likely be another year if the grant is successful before work could begin on the project.

Longtime supporter of annual fair cant wait for this weekends eventKevin LairdSooke News Mirror

Amy Chwojka cant wait for the Sooke Fall Fair.

Chwojka hasnt missed a fall fair in more than 50 years, and over the last 12 months shes been meticulous collecting, growing and baking items for this years fair, which is this weekend at Sooke Community Hall.

My key to success in the fair is to start early, not a week before the event, she says with a chuckle.

The last three years Chwojka has won a rosetta at the fall fair for amassing the most points in diabetic baking. Over the years, she won numerous prizes for everything from baking to vegetables and fruit and rug making.

But the winning wasnt always easy, especially in the first few years.

Chwojka moved to Sooke in 1964 and a year later was

entering veggies and other goods in the fair. It wasnt until an elderly neighbour took her under his wing and taught her how to grow vegetables that she started seeing the fruits of her labour.

The neighbour even talked her into putting a hooked rug into the fair, and Chwojka won the event.

You need to learn what the judges want and understand what you are placing in front of them, she says.

If you do that you certainly provide yourself with a tremendous amount of education and understanding.

Over the years, Chwojka has held many positions with the fall fair. This year she is an assistant in the photography section. She was also involved with the commitee that helped put together the fall fair cookbook a few years ago.

Now she gets the most enjoyment teaching those entering items in the fair how best to do it and be successful.

I feel the reward is in just working with people. I appreciate it when people say I didnt know that, Chwojka says.

I feel kids have so many talents that they can produce all these lovely things. What the children put out at the fair is

magnificent.Along with Amy, the Chwojka

family has been involved with the fair. Her husband and children have entered many items over the year.

Chwojka hasnt only let her talents go to the fall fair. Shes volunteered with other groups in Sooke including Knox Presbyterian Church, salmon enhancement, blood donor clinics and girl guides.

Earlier this year she received a award for her long service helping with the churchs annual strawberry tea. Two years ago she got a similar honour from the Sooke Fall Fair.

Ive dug my roots into Sooke very permanently, Chwojka says.

Sooke Fall Fair president Ellen Lewers calls Chwojka a real gem.

Amy is a true supporter with the fair. Shes always there when you need her.

The Sooke Fall Fair is Saturday (Sept. 12) from 1 to 6 p.m. and Sunday (Sept. 13) from 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Sooke Community Hall and the Royal Canadian Legion.

After much prayer to the rain gods, Vancouver Island received a good bath of rain in the last two weeks, allowing fire departments to finally lessen their brow and lower fire conditions but does that mean its OK to burn piles of stuff again?

Absolutely not. In fact, fire restrictions, which

can go in effect as early as April, can remain in effect until late October even if the weather has been soaking wet.

In other words, regardless that some local fire departments, such as Sooke, Otter Point and Metchosin, changed their fire status from extreme to low fire restrictions on open burning (outside of camp fires and incin-

erators) remain in full effect. In addition, provincial fire

restrictions differ from those set by municipal fire departments who have their own unique set of bylaws and fire enforcement.

So naturally, with bylaws being different for each municipality, theres been some recent confu-sion in the public on what it can or cant burn. As a result, Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen noted that fire trucks were dispatched last week to at least a dozen open burning fire complaints.

Youre still not allowed to burn in September, and always check with your local municipal-ity, because it is different every-where, he said.

Even between Sooke and Otter Point the bylaws are not the same, said Otter Point Fire Chief Kevan Brehart, who pointed out

that the bylaw for Shirley, Otter Point, East Sooke and Port Ren-frew (which is set by the CRD) strictly says that regardless of the weather, there is no open burning.

This was particularly confus-ing for contractors working this summers extreme periods, as the bylaw prohibits the use of machinery such as excavators and chainsaws in Otter Point, but is otherwise allowed in Sooke.

For Otter Point, there is no open burning until Oct. 1, and at that point residents still need permits. At the end of October, you only need a permit for larger piles (over six feet in diameter).If youre doing a major cleanup, then you need a permit all winter. For a small garden, refuge piles, you only need a permit for shoul-der seasons in the fall and spring.

Rain doesnt wash away fire fears

As the election campaign heats up, so does the race between the parties for the Sooke-Esquimalt-Sannich riding.

This weeks profile is on the NDP Randall Garrison, who represented the Sooke region since 2011 in Ottawa.

Garrison pulls his experience in politics from his 20-year career as a criminal justice and political science instructor at Camosun College.

He was also involved in the national human rights election observation campaign a few years ago.

He says one of the efforts of his party has been to help put Sooke on the map, notably in regards to the natural splendour that is available here.

An important part of what we want to do is to help build the tourism industry into a sustainable industry, and one that can be quite competitive, thanks to Sookes huge potential, Garrison said.

With sports fishing and recreational fishing already a part of the local economy, Garrison said he introduced a private members bill (C-667) to help restore federal environment protection to the Sooke watershed and fish habitat. This is in response to the federal governments decision to remove this protection from all lakes and streams on Vancouver Island in 2012.

We have to make sure theres fish there for people to catch, he said.

An avid cyclist, Garrison spends his down time with his dogs, particularly at the Whiffin Spit, one of his favourite dog walking places.

If elected, Garrison says he wants to help make the Sooke-Esquimalt-Saanich riding a more integrated and inclusive area to be in.

What were hearing at the door throughout the riding is that people are very interested in change, and that weve got an opportunity in October to make those changes, he said. Im looking forward to the rest of the campaign.

Randall Garrison has represented the Sooke region in Ottawa since 2011.

The provincial government has launched a new pediatrics residency training site on the Island that will see prospective doctors train at Victoria General Hospital and other Capital Region health-care facilities.

The goal for the new training site, part of the University of B.C.s pediatrics residency training program, is to provide more Canadians with family doctors and other health-care professionals, said B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake.

Families on Vancouver Island will have better access to pediatric residents, he said in a release.

Bringing doctors in training to more communities in B.C. is part of our commitment to enhance medical education and make sure families have access to health-care services, when and where they are needed.

Evidence has shown a doctor who completes residency training in a community is more likely to remain in that area to practise. VGH is Vancouver Islands pediatric specialty hospital and, according to the release, treats roughly 90 per cent of the Islands children.

As of now, there are two pediatric residents on the Island. The site is expected to be operating with a full slate of eight by July 2018. Residencies last a minimum of four years, but individuals may do one to two years of sub-specialty training elsewhere.

Right now, Grade 9s would be playing Grade 8s for the senior team, and thats not that fair as theyre a size and weight differential, said superintendent Jim Cambridge.

Itll be easier to have a sports team at Journey because theyll be three other schools who have the same grade configuration, whereas up until now, Journeys been the only school thats Grade 6 to 8. Were hoping that this standardization will have a positive impact for lots of our schools.

Besides changes in curriculum, the Sooke school district is growing quickly.

Increased growth of French immersion this year at Poirier has maxed out the school in terms of classroom space and available personnel, which is a challenge that will need to be discussed with the community within the next year or so, Cambridge noted.

We already have two portable classrooms at Poirier, so were hesitant to add any more to a school like that because any time we add more, we take away playing ground space from students, he said.

Plans are also in the works to eventually replace Sooke Elementary School with a new building, though

Cambridge said the government approves one or two schools every three years or so. Theres available space at Saseenos, though John Muir is at capacity

as well. Journey is filling up quick too, and Edward Milne will require the addition of 200 more seats within the next five to 10 years.

Sooke School District

has approximately 9,200 students and serves the communities of Sooke, Port Renfrew, Metchosin, Highlands, Langford and Colwood.

The new school year began yesterday, and its important to remain vigilant while driving through school zones and playgrounds, particularly during school times, say Sooke Mounties.

That means slowing down and keeping a sharp eye on crosswalks and school buses that may drop off or pick up students. As it stands, speed limits in school zones during school hours is 30 km/h, which starts at 8 a.m. and remains in effect until 5 p.m.

This also applies to areas that have dual speed limits, such as Throup Road, which rapidly shifts from 50 km/h to 30 km/h when turning towards Journey Middle School and Ecole Poirier.

What well usually do in the morning is at 8 oclock sharp, we hit the school zones and maintain a visible presence, said Sooke RCMP Cpl. Joe Holmes. Pay attention at all times, just because it may or may not be between 8 and 5, there could still be kids associated to the school area.

In addition to increased traffic of school-bound minivans and SUVs, expect a lot more yellow out there, as school buses will be operating in full force taking kids to and from school this means being mindful and obeying the rules when it comes to school bus stop lights.

Holmes said respecting the flashing amber lights

is what helps keep everyone safe stepping in and out of the bus.

Reason why the ambers dont try and race it is because kids may be attempting to get across the bus as its slowing down, or the bus could come to a full stop and still have its ambers on, he said.

Treat them as cautionary and just start hitting the brakes at that point. Even though they shut off the lights, just be weary that there are kids still around that bus immediately after.

Parents are encouraged to give their kids a few tips on being safe out there, noted Holmes.

Make yourself clearly visible, adhere to the sidewalks, and when at a crosswalk, make sure you have eye contact with the driver and that they see you. Around the bus, make sure you stay visible around the bus driver at all times, and follow instructions in regards to bus safety. Dont walk on the road where at all possible and stay visible.

Holmes said there will be police enforcement throughout the school year, with an especially big push during the first few weeks of school.

Well be out and clearly visible and have a little chat with those who dont follow the rules, he said.

Another reminder, in or out of school times, there is no texting or use of mobile devices while driving. That could considerably take the focus off the road, especially where kids are out in larger numbers around school times.

With communicable diseases such as whooping cough and measles making a comeback, the Vancouver Island Health Authority is reminding parents to make sure their childrens vaccines are up to date as they return to school.

By the time a

child reaches five or six years old, he or she should have received booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping cough and more, and kids in Grade 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations, said provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall.

They Said It

Our View

In B.C., 78 children aged five to 18 are injured in crashes in school or playground zones every year.

With children heading back to school this week, Sooke Mounties are asking drivers to watch for children, especially in or around school zones and expect more traffic on our roads.

Parents are encouraged to review the rules of the road with their children and go over their daily route to and from school.

The start of the school year is also a great time for parents to consider

carpooling with another parent in their neighborhood for school drop off and pick up or allowing their child to walk or cycle to school if possible to help reduce traffic congestion and vehicle carbon emissions.

With driving, there is always a temptation to speed just a little and pass those who seem like they are driving too slow.

Now is the time to put the brakes on bad driving habits. The kids will be back in school and they may not be paying as much attention as they

should to vehicles. If you are caught speeding in a

school or playground zone you can reach into your wallet to pay a fine of $196 to $483 plus three driver penalty points. The posted speed in school zones is 30 km/h between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days.

And another reminder: pay attention when you are driving. Distracted driving is more than being on a cellphone, it can be eating, fetching something or just looking away.

Pay attention to those in front of you and back of you and drive defensively. Slow down.

We all need to do our part to keep children and students safe. That means expecting busier roads and giving yourself plenty of travel time so you arent rushing and can stay focused on the road.

Drive responsibly and safe in school zonesWE SAY: We all need to do our part to keep children and students safe

This is a bit of a head scratcher, and one you wouldnt put your heads together to figure out.

Selfie lice have crawled onto the list of things parents need to worry about as kids head back to school this week.

It all started when a doctor in the U.S. blamed selfies for a surge in the cases of head lice among teens.

The idea is that teens posing for selfies press their heads together and, in doing so, are sharing their head lice along with the photo hence the term selfie lice. A louse could crawl from one head to the other faster than kids can say cheese.

Theres no need to panic, says Dr. Dee Hoyano, medical officer with

Island Health.Hoyano says most lice outbreaks

occur in elementary- and daycare-age children, but cautions any age group can get lice.

Its less common [for teens and adults] in the sense that a lot of the behaviours that allow for transmitting are less common as you get older, she says.

Teenagers dont usually get lice because theyre not sharing hats and things like that.

Hoyano says transmitting lice while taking a selfie is technically possible, but since lice cannot fly or jump, theyd have to crawl, and that can take a while, so youd probably have to be head-to-head with your pal for longer than a few seconds.

But heres the bad news. Super mutant lice do exist.

A recent study showed that some lice have high resistance to pyrethroids, the active ingredient to in many over-the-counter treatments.

There are two ways to get rid of the creepy crawlies, Hoyano says, either with chemicals or physical treatment.

Both work, she says, but you have to be thorough.

Chemical treatments need to be applied correctly and then reapplied in some case to ensure all the adult lice are killed.

Manual removal of lice can be more effective and doesnt cost a whole lot either. But its time consuming.

You need to purchase a

professional-grade lice comb and get into the habit of routinely checking your childs hair. That way you be proactive and stay ahead of the game.

Hoyano recommends that if you are having problems dealing with a lice infestation, you may want to discuss it with a pharmacist, who could offer different solutions to the problem.

If you do that, you dont need to worry about those, selfies, ipads, hats or scarves.

And the itching frenzy will end.

Readers letters: Marketing, fire prevention

The News Mirrors recent article has sparked many ideas to better market Sooke.

Should we focus on economic development by recruiting industry, investment, retailers or employers? Do we want to be a destination for conventions; sports, entertainment or cultural events; or movie production? Do we aim to draw more tourists and keep bringing them back?

Should we attract more home buyers and real estate investment, new residents or certain types of residents such as retirees, growing families or artists? Do we work to entice existing residents to shop locally, come out to events, and pitch in as volunteers?

The answer Im hearing is: Yes! All of the above.

There are many marketing activities going on.

The Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce promotes local shopping; fire departments are actively recruiting more volunteers; businesses and non-profits promote their goods and services; Sooke Region Tourism Association has a mandate to promote the region to tourists; the District of Sooke has an obligation to communicate with citizens.

One challenge is that marketing is often an afterthought. Many small businesses are one-person operations. Time, energy and investment focuses on providing products and services to customers

and this in itself is more than a full-time job. They must find additional time for management functions like budgeting, planning and growing their customer base with little time or capacity for much else.

In non-profit and public organizations funding is stretched to make the most of limited dollars. What marketing and promotion they can do is piecemeal and there is little public appetite for precious tax or donor dollars spent on promotion.

All of these organizations business, public and non-profit are expected to be marketing experts as well as being experts at operating a gas station or restaurant, being a fire chief, running a minor sport club, or putting on an art show.

Outstanding examples of successful local marketing include Vancouver Island Lodge and Sooke Harbour House both have invested significant time and dollars in creating a fabulous product and service, and in attracting customers who enjoy a positive, memorable experience. Sooke as a whole benefits from their efforts.

Meanwhile, other businesses struggle to compete with Langford retailers for Sooke shoppers, cultural groups need people at events, non-profits face volunteer burn-out, and they all compete for our attention. Tax dollars are spent on marketing activities (advertising,

sponsorship, grant funding, website) without clear objectives to measure performance or return on investment.

A good start is to work together to coordinate Sookes various marketing efforts, build on success and identify common objectives that can be monitored and measured. The combined impact from better coordination and integration of sporadic and piecemeal promotion can be much greater than the sum total of individual efforts.

Better overall marketing of the community as a whole would benefit all organizations and enhance individual promotion.

Who should take the lead? The District of Sooke now funds SRTA, the chamber and the Info Centre (through the Sooke Region Museum) as well as its statutory and discretionary promotion. Its a logical place for leadership.

There are hands up from people willing to volunteer their expertise. Let us help.

Doni EveSooke

Just who are the stupid ones?

Well, Im perplexed! South of the border,

U.S. citizens were fined for flying a drone over a pod of killer orcas within the limits set forward to protect them, which is not permitted. Makes sense to me. Keep in mind no one got hurt.

Now, a fire rages

in Washington state and and hundreds of thousands of human lives are being affected. Property damaged, homes gone, vehicles reduced to melted plastic and rubber. Not to mention the multi millions of trees burned to the ground and livelihoods.

That fire will cost every U.S. citizen the financial burden of repair. All because of one individuals mistake whether intentional or not.

The same thing can and will happen here, someday. We are hopefully nearing the end of a long drought but its still a fire bomb just waiting to go off.

This happens on a regular basis here in Sooke, a local resident or transient decides it would be nice to have a camp fire and roast some hotdogs and marshmallows. Sounds cozy. Well its not.

Another person driving down the road throws a lit cigarette out the window thinking no big deal. Well it is.

What if one or both, on the same night get out of hand and a raging fire starts and wipes out every home and business here in paradise? It can happen. Wake up, smell the roses before they are ash. Fine the drone guy, let fire stupid off with a warning and increase everyones taxes to pay for the damage. Canadian, eh? Imagine our village a complete smouldering piece of ash with everything gone. Chernobyl, a new beginning but never the

same. We really cant do

anything about Mother Nature, but we can do something about stupid. Or we could just say: Its OK, just try not to let it happen again. Ask yourself: who are the stupid ones?
