Houston Secondary School has 227 students this year, � ve less than last year, said Principal Scott Jackson.
Jackson says school startup was good but it’s been challenging with no access to the gym.
They’ve had to push back a few events because of gym renovations, which are scheduled to be complete Sept. 15, Jackson said.
HSS has a new Vice Principal Julie Krall and two new Education Assistants, Penny Chorney and Tatyana Morand.
Jackson says
the school has new specialty programs for the afternoons, building upon last year’s system with academics in the morning and hands-on courses in the afternoons.
They’ve added courses including textiles, calculus, environmental ad lab science, and some
specialty physical education courses like basketball, volleyball, � tness, weights and soccer.
“We’ve taken our PE and made it a little more specialized so that kids can choose activities they are particularly interested in for their PE credit,” said Jackson.
Jackson says they’ve
also started a grade 8 Inquiry course, where students pursue an area of interest and at the same time learn the new core competency skills including c o m m u n i c a t i o n , critical thinking, creative thinking and innovation, personal responsibility and social responsibility.
“Their assessment
will be based on performance in those core competencies,” said Jackson, adding that the course will be explained to parents at Meet the Staff night.
HSS also added a junior music program and they have a cross country team this year coached by Vice Principal Julie Krall.
“It’s a culture shock
to be so busy after a relaxing summer, but it’s good to be back and see all the staff and students,” said Jackson.
With 190 students, Twain Sullivan Elementary School has about the same enrolment as the 192 they had last year.
Major changes to highway
Houston schools report increased enrolment

Council is looking at making a mini-park or band stand in front of Remax, and clos-ing the Highway 16 entrances to 9th Street and Poulton Avenue.
Council presented some ideas to over 30 people at a recent pub-lic meeting, and met with a group from the business community last Thursday.
The ideas include turning the 9th Street highway entrance into a one-way out-road, closing the highway entrance to Poulton Avenue, creating a band stand in front of Remax, and add-ing two highway cross-walks from Steelhead Park - one to Poulton Avenue and another to Copeland Avenue.
The design plan in-cludes adding a gate-way feature, such as an arched sign, over the highway at the bottom of the east highway
overpass. It also proposes
a sidewalk along the south side of Highway 16 from Benson Avenue to Butler Avenue, and adding a highway median with trees, separating the two lanes of the highway from Butler to Copeland Avenue, and another one from Copeland to Benson Avenue.
Council is also looking at adding truck parking be-hind the Chamber of Commerce.

New Principal Kevin Bird says they have big plans and some exciting things that they are pursuing for the school this year, but it’s a surprise.
“It’s a little early to let the cat out of the bag, because surprise is a big tool that we use,” he said.
Bird says they are planning some new projects and are working on some cool things in math, which is a real focus in schools right now.
Asked about the start of the school year, Bird says there are a lot of new faces.
The kindergarden students start gradually, with a few short meetings the first week, then part-time the second week, and then full time after that, Bird said.
“It’s always
interesting to see the little ones getting used to things and gearing into school,” he said.
“They come in in three different shades: there are the ones to whom this is just one more thing in life, there are the ones that are a little worried about it, and then there are the ones that think this is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to them!
“Kids come in and kids go out; there are smiling, happy faces and they’re all excited to get back with their friends and excited to run around at recess and lunch time and get involved in all the activities.”
With 167 students, S i l v e r t h o r n e Elementary School enrolment is up from the 155 students they had last year.
Principal Mark Fehr says they welcome several new staff this year including new Learners Assistant Leighan Bell, new Grade 4/5 Teacher Sondra Contumelius and new Grade 6/7 Teacher Susan Euverman.
As far as the
school goes, the front entrance has been repaved and the bathrooms redone, Fehr said.
Asked if there is anything new or different happening, Fehr said not so far.
“But there will be. We have a few things cooking,” he said, adding that they have some classroom initiatives that will be explored, but they are still ironing out the details.
Fehr says they continue working on self regulation with the students, as it really seemed to make a difference.
“It helped a lot of students to recognize what they need in order to be ready to learn, which in turn helped their learning,” Fehr said.
Fehr says school start up was very smooth this year, and the only difference was that instead of posting classes before school started, classes were not solidified until a few days into school.
“[It was] because we had so many new students come in,” he said.
With 101 students,
enrolment at the Houston Christian School is up one student from last year.
Interim Principal John Bron says things will be a bit different this year with his temporary, part-time position at the school.
Bron taught at HCS 1975 to 1979, and now lives in Surrey. He will be at HCS three days a week, with Vice Principal and Elementary Teacher Cindy Vellekoop running things when he is gone.
Besides the new principal, Bron says they also have a new Classroom Assistant Nelinda Vandenberg to help with the grade 3/4 this year.
Bron says this year HCS is focusing more on project-based learning and will engage in projects within the community.
One class is looking at the situation with Irrigation Lake and exploring how they can be involved in what is happening, Bron said.
He adds that he plans to take a class and explore ideas to improve the appearance of the CN station in Steelhead Park.
Bron says another new thing at HCS is a grade 11 and 12 “Introduction to Trades” course, where they will do hands-on projects in the community.
Sports are starting up and this year HCS has a co-ed volleyball team that will play in the senior boys league, Bron said.
With 31 students this year, the Houston Northwest Community College enrolment is down a little bit, said Regional Director Regina Saimoto.
A new program that the college offers this year is carpentry level one starting in February for adult and high school students, Saimoto said.
She adds that they are working on partnerships to bring in courses for heavy equipment operator and mineral
processing operator this fall.
The forestry heavy equipment operator course would be a five week course this fall, and might be slightly longer if they can get add a practicum, said Saimoto.
The mineral processing operator course would be a 14 week program offered in the winter in collaboration with Huckleberry Mines Ltd., she said.
Both courses are in the works and interested people can leave contact information at the Houston campus, she said.
This year the college is also doing phase two of the Organizing Against Racism and Hate program funded through the provincial Embrace B.C. program, said Saimoto.
They incorporate parts of that into the social justice class and they run some community events around that theme, she said.
Saimoto says the college is open to interests and suggestions from the community regarding other programs.
“If the community is interested in having certain courses during the year or next summer, we’re always interested to hear from the community and work with them to see if we can make those things happen,” she said.
Saimoto says the school startup was good and she is excited about the year.
“I think we have very strong connections in Houston with the community and the industry… so I’m very excited to work with the community to make this college a vibrant part of Houston.
“I think it’s really important to us as a community college that we really try to solidly engage with the community and listen to what the community’s wants and needs are,” she said.

RCMP have determined that an east bound Jeep Liberty crossed the centre line and collided head on with a west bound Ace Motor home. The male driver and lone occupant of the Jeep was pronounced dead at the scene. The occupants of the motor home, a man and a woman, were taken to Burns Lake Hospital with non life threatening injuries.
The highway was closed in both directions so that forensic experts could identify and document the physical evidence at the scene.
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a male who died following a motor vehicle incident near Burns Lake on Sept. 2, 2013.
He was Rodney Randolph Hoffman, aged 71, of Kamloops.
Mr. Hoffman was the driver and sole occupant of a vehicle, which was travelling eastbound on Highway 16 about 11:40 a.m.
on Sept. 2, when it was in collision with a westbound motor home about 30 kilometres west of Burns Lake.
Mr. Hoffman was deceased at the scene.
Police, along with the BC Coroner’s Office continue to investigate.

Terry Fox runOne of the most iconic images in Canadian
history is that of Terry Fox, his face a mask of pain as he shifts his weight to his arti� cial leg in an awkward hop-skip motion.
And yet Fox carried that expression for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres across Canada, hob-bling on one leg with a simple yet powerful mes-sage. Mankind must defeat cancer.
In August 1979, Fox competed in a marathon in Prince George, � nishing in dead last, 10 min-utes behind the second last runner. And yet his run so inspired participants and spectators that people were left in tears and awe at his courage.
Thirty-four years later, Canadians are still brought to tears by Fox’s Marathon of Hope across Canada, despite the fact he died before he could complete it. There are few heroes so beloved by Canadians as Terry Fox, who raised $1.7 million before succumbing to cancer at the tender age of 22.
Since then he has inspired more than a half billion dollars in donations for cancer research. He � nished second in voting to Tommy Douglas in the CBC program The Greatest Canadian in 2004. Those who weren’t even alive when he ran are humbled by his accomplishments.
In order to encourage more donations to his Marathon of Hope in 1980, Terry Fox ran a marathon every day – 42 kilometres – in the sweltering heat of summer. Despite sickness and the return of cancer by September, this time to his lungs, Fox averaged a staggering 37.6 kilome-tres each day.
No person, before or since, has managed to unite Canadians so strongly in a singular and common purpose of raising money to � nd a cure for cancer.
And when he was forced to abandon his mara-thon, he threw the torch to the next runners with the acknowledgment that this was about more than a kid from Port Coquitlam:
“I don’t feel that this is unfair. That’s the thing about cancer. I’m not the only one, it happens all the time to people. I’m not special. This just in-tensi� es what I did. It gives it more meaning. It’ll inspire more people. I just wish people would re-alize that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.”
Although Terry Fox put cancer on the map, the annual run he inspired has sagged in recent years. Fewer participants are turning out and some communities have been forced to cancel the run altogether.
That may be the worst thing we could do for the memory of one of Canada’s greatest sons. He deserves better, as does everyone who has ever lost somebody to cancer. I lost my aunt to lung cancer last year.
Never give up hope. Never give up the � ght. Just think back to Terry Fox and those lonely miles of highway, putting one foot in front of the other, running for a better world for us all.
- Adrian MacNair, Black Press
Riding with GammyI’ve learned some
very valuable life les-sons from my grand-mother over the years, and one of them was to worry little about what people think of me.
It’s not that she worried little. In fact, she worried quite a lot, and still does. But watching her concern herself about what others think is what’s helped me to stop.
When my dad was eight and my uncle was four, my grandfather abandoned them, leav-ing my ‘Gammy’ with all the responsibili-ties, as well as a great deal of shame. It was back in the � fties when there existed a stigma against single moth-ers, particularly divor-cees. Unfortunately, she cared what people thought of her and her situation, and it added signi� cantly to her struggles.
When I was a teen and � rst learned about what she had gone through, I became up-set. Not at my grand-father, who I hardly knew, or at the faceless strangers seemingly thinking bad things, but at my grandmoth-er. How could she have not seen how wonder-ful and kind hearted she was? How could she have allowed any-one to make her feel badly about herself in any way?
“No one can make you feel inferior with-out your consent,” Eleanor Roosevelt once said. Very true, but not always the eas-iest words to live by, as I found out.
I was quite young when I � rst realized that concerning our-selves with what oth-ers think of us could negatively impact our life experience, yet I still went on to do it
myself. Seeking the ac-ceptance and approval of others seems to be one of those common traits among people, women especially. Many of us have to actually re-train our brains in order to stop doing it. And for some, it’s harder to do than others, and we need constant reminding.
Another thing my grandmother taught me was to live life fear-lessly. Not that she’s done that either. She’s got a healthy dose of fear within her, and was quite anxious about driving an all-terrain vehicle at my cousin’s wedding and then zip-lining at my dad’s birthday party at the age of 88. But she didn’t let the fear stop her, and she went for it in both instances.
“I admire your courage,” she’s often said to me. “I wish I could have been more
like you throughout my life.”
But what she doesn’t realize, is that she’s one of the stron-gest and bravest wom-en I’ve ever known. And her willingness to discuss her per-ceived imperfections so openly has given me the strength to be okay with my � aws as well.
After surviving a dif� cult childhood, my grandmother raised two sons on her own, taught elementary school, gave driving instructions and did other odd jobs, paint-ed pictures, played the piano, pinched pennies, and traveled much of the world. As much as she might think she is, she’s no shrinking violet. Not even close.
A shy, talented, smart, gracious and incredibly loving wom-an, Gammy has been an amazing role model
for me in the way she has lived her life, and in the way she wished she had lived it.
Turning 90 on September 9, she con-tinues to have me ad-miring her and her constant quest to keep learning, improving and participating in activities that bring her joy. I am grateful to her for all that she’s taught me, and I look forward to what else I’ll learn over the next decade on Earth with her.

Fewer forest fires in summerBy Tom Fletcher
Houston Today
B.C. has emerged from one of its sunnier summers in recent years with a below-average number of forest � res.
As of Sept. 1, the B.C. government’s wild� re management branch record 1,687 reported wild� res for the season, compared to an average year of nearly 2,000 � res. This year’s � res burned a total of 11,434 hectares, far less than the average damage of more than 130,000 hectares.
Wet weather returned with school to large parts of the province, after a sunny summer that saw
several dry-weather records set. For the � rst time since records
were kept, Vancouver airport recorded no rain for the entire month of July.
The number of reported � res so far this year is slightly higher than the total for last year, but the total area burned in 2012 was nearly 10 times
greater. The province spent $133 million on � re� ghting last year,
a total that should be much lower when the bills are added up for 2013.
Open burning remains banned for the Southeast Fire Centre region until as late as Sept. 20. Camp� re bans were lifted Aug. 26 for the Kamloops
and Coastal Fire Centre regions, and earlier in the month for the Northwest, Cariboo and Prince George regions as dry conditions were relieved.
Despite public information campaigns and open burning restrictions, provincial statistics continue to show about 40 per cent of wild� res are human caused, with most of the rest sparked by lightning.
The relatively quiet � re season allowed B.C. to send crews to help battle wild� res in Washington, Montana and Idaho during August.
Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May accused the Conservative g o v e r n m e n t Wednesday of “doing Enbridge’s homework” with $120 million program to study ocean weather and behaviour of heavy oil spills in the ocean around Kitimat.
At a news conference in Victoria, May added her voice to that of Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, who raised questions in the B.C. legislature
in July about an ocean monitoring project in support of oil tanker exports as proposed by Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project.
May and Weaver released leaked documents they say show Ottawa spending $78 million this year and $42 million next year for marine weather monitoring and determining how diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands would behave in a spill.
May said federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty changed the federal budget documents this year to conceal changes to ministry and program spending, making it impossible for MPs to identify spending on programs such as the ocean monitoring on B.C.’s North Coast.
Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver issued a statement Wednesday, rejecting May’s accusation of secrecy. Oliver said
he announced the program publicly in Vancouver in March.
“Work on tanker safety is critical to ensure we have we have world-class marine safety on Canada’s coastlines,” Oliver said. “While the Green Party and the NDP oppose resource development projects before the science is in, our government will not make decisions until an independent scienti� c review determines they are safe for Canadians
and safe for the environment.”
Weaver said the investment amounts to a subsidy to Enbridge, which should do its own research on environmental effects of its pipeline and tanker port proposal. He cited a Fisheries and Oceans Canada document that concludes “behaviour models speci� c to [diluted bitumen] do not exist, and existing commercial models for conventional oil do not allow
parameter speci� c modi� cations.”
Weaver called on the B.C. government to reiterate its opposition to Northern Gateway, which was detailed in the province’s � nal submission to the federal e n v i r o n m e n t a l assessment panel that concluded hearings this spring.
He said Premier Christy Clark has backed away from opposition to the project since the May
provincial election, and has focused on improving relations with Alberta.
Tanker research ‘subsidy’ to Enbridge, Greens say

“It’s about making changes to improve access to downtown, pedestrian mobility and gateway features,” said John Guenther, Interim Community Planner.
Council hired a transportation de-sign consultant to form the design plan which they will pres-
ent to the Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure at the Union of B.C. Municipalities Conference on Sept. 14.
Still in the prelimi-nary stages, council is seeking to get pub-lic support, which will help them lobby for funding from the Ministry.
“If the community comes forward saying they’ve already had public engagement and this is what the people want… it carries a lot of weight,” said Guenther.
If you say what you want, have a concrete plan and give reasons for it, your chances to get funding are much higher, said Deputy
Mayor Shane Brienen. RCMP Sgt. Rose
says he thinks closing the Highway access to 9th Street and Poulton Avenue is a great idea.
“Anytime they close off an intersection it’s good for the police, because it lessons the likelihood of crashes.
“At the same time it will increase the number of pedestrians
near Highway 16 so it will need some kind of safe passageway across the highway,” he said.
G u e n t h e r and Houston’s Interim Director of Engineering & Development Services Tony Edwards pre-sented the ideas to a group of downtown business owners last Thursday.
They met with own-ers of Mike’s Audio Video, Houston Food Market, Reitsma’s Home Hardware and Countrywide Printing & Stationary Ltd.
Guenther says the business owners had a few concerns but liked the ideas overall and supported the proposed changes.
Guenther is
continuing his work in Houston until December, with tasks involving bylaws, development review, the Official Community Plan and finding grants and funding opportunities.
The next public meeting discussing the changes and bylaws is Oct. 10.
Graphic submitted Proposed design for Highway 16 changes include highway median, sidewalk and a gateway feature for the east end of Houston. See below for more.

Police and ICBC are launching a month-long campaign to deter distracted driving, the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in the province after speed and impaired driving.
D r i v e r distraction is blamed as a factor in 91 fatalities province-wide each year. T r a n s p o r t a t i o n ministry officials estimate drivers are four times likelier to crash when talking on a hand-held phone while driving and 23 times more likely to be in a crash if texting.
Enforcement by officers handing out $167 fines will be stepped up throughout S e p t e m b e r , according to police.
Officials kicked off the campaign Thursday using a simulator to show the effect of distractions on a driver.
“Driving is a complex task that requires your full attention,” ICBC interim president Mark Blucher said. “When you’re distracted behind the wheel your reaction time is significantly reduced. Distracted driving is a common cause of rear-end crashes and injuries – there is no safe following distance when your mind is not on the road.”
A 2012 survey for ICBC found B.C. motorists consider texting while driving to be just as risky as drinking and driving, yet 40 per cent of those who own cellphones admit they’ve used a hand-held phone while driving.
ICBC says its statistics count use of communications or video equipment among the sources of driver d i s t r a c t i o n ,
along with driver inattention and other sources of internal or external distraction.
ICBC injury payouts reached
$1.9 billion in 2012, up $165 million from the previous year and a $400 million increase over five years. The Crown
corporation cited that increase as the main reason for its application to raise premiums 4.9 per cent, effective Nov. 1.

Police and ICBC target distracted driving for a month
““Drivers are 23 times more likely to be in
a crash if texting.”
By Jackie LieuwenHouston Today
D u n g a t e Community Forest got approval for nearly double their annual allowable cut.
The � ve-year initial licence where they were harvesting 20,000 cubic metres per year expired in February, and under the new licence Dungate can harvest 37,000 cubic metres per year for the next � ve years, board member Doug McRae told council at a meeting last week Tuesday.
He says after that it will drop down a bit, and the long-term sustainable allowable cut looks like it will be 30,000 cubic metres per year.
McRae said they applied for 100,000 cubic metre allowable cut because of the dead pine that’s on the community forest land base.
“It was targeted at harvesting the stands greater than 50 percent pine,” McRae said, adding that in their overview � ights they found the pine in the community forest was close to 80 percent dead.
But the Ministry
of Forests approved 37,000 cubic metres due to timber supply concerns, said McRae.
“Basically they’re trying to protect as much green timber as possible for 20 or 30 years down the line,” he said.
He adds that they required that Dungate harvest stands with 70 or greater percent pine and greater than 50 percent dead pine, which will be a bit challenging.
“The pine kill won’t be a problem, but the 70 percent pine may be a problem. A lot
of the stands in the community forest are mixed stands,” he said.
McRae says their management agreement with Canfor has been working well, and expires next spring, so they are negotiating a
new agreement with them.
McRae says that with their pro� ts, Dungate allocates funds for community support and business development.
They get requests for funding for a variety of projects
and non-profit organizations in the community, and have spent $4,700 to date on various initiatives, McRae said.
He says they also have a fund for business development that is accumulating funds, and at this point has $29,352.20.
“We haven’t done anything with that and we don’t have any plans in the near future for that.
“It’s just a pool of capital at this point,” he said.
