Hillside Elementary students and staff will relocate to Lutheran Church of Hope for the first couple months of the new school year as workers finish a window replacement project at the school.

District officials voted two weeks ago to continue with the replacement project even though it means displacing classes for the first eight to 10 weeks of school. The buildings windows have leaked since the school was first constructed about eight years ago, school officials said. As crews began replacing them earlier this year mold was found along some of the windows and wall boards.

Lutheran Church of Hope, 925 Jordan Creek Parkway, is about five and a half miles west of Hillside, 713 Eighth St.

The church was selected because its large enough to accommodate all of the students and staff, has safe access for buses, and has a large cafeteria area, gym, art and music rooms, according to the districts website.

Superintendent Peter Ansingh has said he understands the inconvenience that relocating classes will have for parents, students and staff, but said that it is in the best interest of everyone involved to have the windows replaced immediately instead of waiting to replace some until next summer.

Our worst fear would be that we get to a point in December or January where the mold has gotten out of hand and then what do we do in terms of relocating all those students? Ansingh said during a recent school board meeting. Its a huge inconvenience for sure, but well be able, we hope, in mid-October to welcome students and staff back to a watertight school.

The district is hosting a series of meetings and events for students and parents before classes resume on Aug. 21, including an informational meeting tonight:

5:30 p.m. tonight Hillside parent meeting at Phenix Early Childhood Center, 415 Seventh St.

Tuesday, Aug. 14, 11 a.m. 2 p.m. and 4-6 p.m. Walk-in registration at Phenix.

Monday, Aug. 20, 4-5:30 p.m. Ice Cream Social at Lutheran Church of Hope.

Teenager Chris F'Sautia, a late replacement for the sick Digby Ioane, scored the first try and his fellow winger Dom Shipperley, lock Adam Wallace-Harrison and replacement back Nick Frisby also crossed for the Super Rugby champions.

In their first match after the international window, Queensland tired in the second half as the many Wallabies in their ranks began to feel the lingering effects of the hard-fought series win over Wales.

The always game Rebels, hoping to give former Wallabies centre Stirling Mortlock a win in his final home match, hit back in the second half with tries from Kurtley Beale and Lachie Mitchell but never closed to within 10 points of the Reds.

To make matters worse, they lost flyhalf James O'Connor to a hamstring injury in his first match back after recovering from a liver injury which had kept him sidelined for a month.

"The game didn't go to plan, the big send off," Rebels captain Gareth Delve said in a pitchside interview.

"But we showed great character in the second half. In the first half we made too many mistakes and left ourselves with a mountain to climb."

Another Wallabies flyhalf, Quade Cooper, was replaced at halftime by the Reds after setting up Wallace-Harrison's try five minutes before the break.

It was a moment of magic from the least lauded of the playmakers on the field, however, which set up the best try of the night after 26 minutes.

Centre Mike Harris made the most of his pack winning a scrum against the head by chipping over the defensive line and regathering his own kick.

The Reds moved the ball quickly outside to F'Sautia, who looked like he might score a brace on his first start but he was forced to look for support and his pass back inside found Shipperley who crossed in the corner.

DUNCAN Move over McDonalds. Duncan Public Library just got a temporary drive-through window.

Around 2:30 p.m. Thursday, a car came through a window at the library and one person was reported to have been transferred to Duncan Regional Hospital with minor injuries.

Office Wesley Wainscott with the Duncan Police Department was the lead officer on the scene.

Wainscott reported a female driver was pulling into a parking spot on the south side of the library, when the incident occurred.

She thought she hit the brakes, but her foot must have slipped and she hit the accelerator, Wainscott said.

The car traveled through the side of the library and drove into a book shelf in the non-fiction area of the library.

The shelf couldnt withstand the force of the car and collapsed as a result.

Who said non-fiction has to be boring?

Library Director Jan Cole said the library would stay open, despite having a temporary drive-through window on the side.

Cole said the damage was somewhat contained in the non-fiction area, affecting that one shelf.
