Twenty-two athletes from Houston, Burns Lake and Smithers meet every week in Houston for Special Olympic Bowling.

Started up in Houston this year, the program runs September to March every Tuesday morning, and includes three bowlers from Houston, one from Smithers and 18 from Burns Lake - 10 seniors and eight high school students from the special education class.

The Houston bowling program was started by the Burns Lake Special Olympic committee, who used to bowl in Burns Lake until the bowling alley shut down, said Cramer.
