Houston Luckies tryouts coming soon Houston Today
Luckies gear up for another season as tryouts are coming up soon. The tryouts are on Sept. 29 and 30 and then the coach and other details will be decided, says Luckies team captain Alonzo Slaney. “We hope to have lots of people out for tryouts, lots of young kids,” Slaney said, adding that he hopes 30 to 35 people come, including the four to six players coming from Burns Lake. There are three 2012 - 2013 divisions and Houston will be with Smithers and
Vanderhoof, said Slaney. Prince Rupert and Terrace are in a division, and Lac la Hache, Williams Lake and Quesnel make up the third, Slaney added. Under new president Ray Hallock, the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) released the upcoming season schedule, with Luckies home opener against Lac la Hache Tomahawks on Oct. 20. Looking at the roster, Slaney says that things look promising for the Houston Luckies. “It looks like we’ll have a fairly strong squad this year,” he said.
RCMP advise of more upcoming road checks By Jackie Lieuwen Houston Today
RCMP road check on Highway 16 caught not only an impaired driver, but one with a stash of drugs in the vehicle. The driver was issued a 24 hour driving prohibition and then, doing the vehicle search, officers found drugs that were suspected as cocaine or MDMA, said Sergeant Rose of the Houston RCMP. The vehicle driver was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking - a charge based on the drug quantity and other items found in the vehicle, said RCMP Sergeant Rose. Rose notes that roadblocks checking for sobriety is something that the community will be seeing more of, “because ultimately taking them off the road, makes the road safer for everybody that is motoring out there,” he said. *** RCMP received report on Sept. 12 at 1:15 p.m. of two young men who were creating mischief at
Jamie Baxter park, but the youth were gone by the time police arrived, said Sergeant Rose. The two young males, 15-20, had used some type of log to poke holes in the walls of the park outhouse. The youth were not identified so anyone with information is asked to call the Houston RCMP at 250-845-2204, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. *** There have been lots of false alarms at both commercial and residential properties over the past three weeks, and police have been frustrated because many of the properties do not have a named property representative, said RCMP Sergeant Rose. He asks that people with an active and monitored alarm make sure they have a property representative listed with their alarm or monitoring company, so police have someone to notify about alarms and give them building access for a walk around.
