The 31-year-old man told Durham Regional Police he was walking on Aug.15 when two men in a car stopped alongside him, pulled out a knife and demanded money. He said the pair fled after a struggle in which he punched the driver and was cut on the hand. After a two-day investigation, detectives had reason to believe the story was fabricated, said Sergeant Paul Malik. He cautioned filing a false re- port ties up valuable police re- sources and can lead to criminal charges and maximum five-year prison term if convicted. Stephen Paul Lecek, 31, of Acorn Lane, is charged with public mischief.

Board has accommodations Draft report calls for new public high school, closures BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — The public school board’s draft accommo- dation plan recommends build- ing one new high school in the region and closing some schools, says its facilities super- intendent. “We have a draft document that I’ll be sharing the first week of September with administra- tive council,” Jack Massie said in an interview. He said administrative coun- cil, comprised of the Durham District School Board’s superin- tendents and education director, would discuss and debate the document before it is presented to trustees in-camera next month. He could not say when the public will have a first look at the much-anticipated, five-year plan, setting out where the board plans to build new schools and add on to existing ones, since trustees may wish to modify it. “That’s their prerogative,” said Mr. Massie, adding “it could be tough” to find consen- sus on the board for what is pro- posed. As it stands, he said the plan calls for one new high school and while he did not say in which municipality it is pro- posed, Mr. Massie said several communities are in need of more secondary accommoda- tion, and not just Whitby, where parents have actively pressed for a new high school to relieve substantial overcrowding there. He pointed out Dunbarton High School in Pickering has 25 Arson suspected in $2M McDonald’s blaze City examines councillor’s second roadway Solicitor investigates whether Johnson had permission to build additional access to north Pickering property PICKERING — The Durham Regional Police and Pickering Fire Service are seek- ing the public’s help in solving a blaze that caused $2 million in damages to the McDonald’s Restaurant at Hwy. 2 and Gle- nanna Road early Monday. According to Durham Re- gional Police Sergeant Paul Malik, arson is suspected in the fire, which was reported at ap- proximately 3:15 a.m. Aug. 20. “The fire is suspicious in na- ture and arson is suspected,” Sgt. Malik said in a news re- lease, noting there have been eight minor arsons in the Ajax and Pickering area since June 1. Police report the fire started in a dumpster behind the Mc- Donald’s at the Hub Plaza and spread to the restaurant. “Certainly it’s suspicious,” Pickering Fire Chief Bill Dou- glas said. “We’ve had a rash of dumpster fires... dumpster fires near buildings like that are a real problem for us.” He added, “The fire started and got into the ceiling, eventu- ally the whole roof came down. We protected the rest of the plaza but unfortunately McDon- ald’s was destroyed.” The chief said about 20 fire- fighters from the department’s three stations responded to the call shortly after 3 a.m. Monday. Firefighters from Brougham and Claremont were on standby to assist in the blaze, which took about three hours to get under control. Pickering fire prevention of- ficer Rex Heath is leading the investigation into the blaze. However in a brief interview High speed chase ends with arrests Two men charged in pursuit across Hwy. 401 PICKERING — Two men are facing a total of 13 criminal charges following a high-speed police pursuit of a pair of stolen Dodge Neons early Monday. Durham Regional Police said two cars suspected in an attempted car theft a short time earlier on Exeter Road fled west when spotted by of- ficers on Bayly Street, near Monarch Avenue, at about 3:40 a.m. on Aug. 20. The cars headed west on Hwy. 401 at Brock Road and Ontario Provincial Police of- ficers joined the chase, which involved speeds of between 140 and 160 km/h, police said. A rolling roadblock was formed around one vehicle, which rammed into a pair of police cruisers and was even- tually pulled over just inside Scarborough, police said. The second car was later stopped in Toronto. A 19-year-old Ajax man and a 20-year-old Toronto man, whose names were not available, were arrested and charged with various of- fences including flight from police. The Toronto man was treated at hospital for minor injuries. Two Durham officers suf- fered minor injuries as a re- sult of the collisions. BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING — Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick John- son maintains he has done noth- ing wrong in building a second roadway to access a landlocked piece of rural property he pur- chased last year or in cutting down trees along the border be- tween Pickering and Uxbridge. However, City of Pickering solicitor John Reble said Mon- day he is reviewing whether Coun. Johnson had permission to build the second roadway ad- jacent to his property last week- end. This past Sunday, bulldozers widened a country path into a roadbed along Pickering Side- line 8, the border of the 100- acre parcel of land in north Pickering. “That matter has been re- ferred to myself and various others to review,” Mr. Reble said Monday. “We’re trying to communicate with Coun. John- son on that.” Mr. Reble reported he was trying to determine “if there was authority given for the work that was done and what authority was necessary.” He added, “I think there is an agreement between the City and one of the landowners to the south to use the unopened portion of the road allowance. I don’t know whether any per- mission has been given to Coun. Johnson.” In an interview Monday, Coun. Johnson said he received permission from Pickering’s chief administrative officer, Tom Quinn, to widen the path. Mr. Quinn is currently on vaca- tion and cannot be reached for comment. Meanwhile, Mr. Reble said Pickering and Uxbridge offi- cials are working to “resolve” a dispute over the cutting down of trees by Coun. Johnson on Town Line separating the two communities. “There was a meeting held (Aug. 13) with representatives from Uxbridge and Pickering JACK MASSIE Draft plan ready for review. Trail users still have access, but Councillor Rick Johnson has come under fire for putting this fence up on Town Line, cut- ting down trees and other recent activities.See COUNCILLOR page A2 See McDONALD’S page A8 See CURRENT page A8 49.49.$$** FREE Genuine Panasonic Hands-free Headset FREE: 3 mos. on call display, email & text messaging, enhanced voice mail & auto road side assistance The Colour of The Year..The Colour of The Year....White Gold..White Gold Offer Exclusive to these official Rogers AT&T Locations Only 105 Bayly St. West (at Harwood Ave.) (905) 686-8061 Pickering Town Centre (2nd Floor, besides Sears) (905) 420-0744 Beside National Sports (Whites Rd. & Hwy 2) (905) 831-9557 Offer Exclusive to these official Rogers AT&T Locations Only 105 Bayly St. West (at Harwood Ave.) (905) 686-8061 Pickering Town Centre (2nd Floor, besides Sears) (905) 420-0744 Beside National Sports (Whites Rd. & Hwy 2) (905) 831-9557 *After Mail -in Rebate, with new activation of two year plan.

All of the other power windows work fine. How can I tell whether the motor, wiring or the switch is causing the fault? ANSWER: Auto manufacturers will install master power window switches to control all the windows on either the driver’s door or on the center console for easy accessibility. The first step in diagnosis is to ensure that sufficient power is available to the power window motor through the circuit breaker, fuse and power window switch. The power window switch is usually easier to access than either the power window motor or fuse panel junction block. Electrical power and ground path for the motor pass through the switch and can be verified with a digital multimeter. An open circuit shorted circuit, a circuit with high resistance (ie: corrosion) or a faulty window motor will cause problems with operation. To allow correct operation, an electrical circuit must be complete with a power supply, a ground path, a resistor (power window motor) and a switching device to complete the circuit. If power and ground are both present at the switch, the concern is now isolated to the wiring and connectors from the switch to the motor, or the motor itself. Secondly, you can re-install the window switch, and activate the switch while manipulating the wiring conduit that passes between the door frame to the driver’s door near the door hinges. If the motor attempts to operate, a wire is broken inside the pass through conduit and will require a repair. Thirdly the door pad will require removal. Then the window motor should be tapped gently with a hammer while activating the power window switch. If the window begins to operate, there is a “dead spot” in the motor armature and the motor will require replacement. Many new cars today utilize a body computer to activate the power windows. The power window switch will supply and input to the computer, and the computer will complete the power circuit for the window motor by supplying a ground path for the window motor as an output. Many of these cars will also employ a retained accessory power module to allow stereo and window operation for several minutes after the ignition key is removed and will either automatically time out or cancel when a door is opened. This computer module can also cause defective window operation. Diagnosis requires an electrical service manual with component locations and wiring schematics. A proficient technician with good electrical troubleshooting skills, a service manual and a mutlimeter can usually diagnose the cause of an inoperative power window in half an hour to an hour for most cars. Some luxury cars with multiple computer modules may require additional time to diagnose. Remember, an operational driver’s side power window is not only a convenience, but also a safety escape route in an emergency situation!

Johnson has come under at- tack in recent days from some area res- idents and Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor, who is livid the trees have been cut down. She maintained Coun. Johnson did not apply to Uxbridge for permits to remove any of the trees on the Township’s 33-foot share of the un- opened road allowance. But, Coun. Johnson, chairman of Durham Region’s public works com- mittee, said that stretch of Town Line is Pickering’s responsibility. He maintained he has followed the same process any other resident would if they wanted to build a driveway on their property. “We do these agreements all the time with residents who want to open up a sideline and put a driveway in,” said Coun. Johnson. “I’ve done noth- ing to violate the public trust or the... position I hold. I’ll continue to serve my constituents to the best of my abil- ity.” But, Lorne Almack, director of the environmental group Green Door Al- liance, said Monday, “I think he’s in trouble.” Mr. Almack reported area residents will decide later this fall whether to move ahead with a petition seeking Coun. Johnson’s removal from office based on what he believes has been a conflict of interest. He alleged the correct process was- n’t followed in obtaining approval for the project, adding the work has been done without any public review or con- sultation with area residents. “This was a wandering trail through the woods,” Mr. Almack said of Town Line, which was transformed into a driveway over the Simcoe Day long weekend. “I’ve been up to see it and I think it’s a disaster,” he said, noting area res- idents suspect the councillor has plans to develop the land. But, Coun. Johnson, who currently lives on the airport lands in north Pick- ering, said his only plan for the proper- ty, which he bought for just over $200,000 last year, is to build a retire- ment home for himself and his wife. Coun. Johnson, who is also chair- man of the Central Lake Ontario Con- servation Authority and a member of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s Glen Major Forest Tract advisory committee, said in a recent in- terview he conducted an extensive forestry management plan on his land with the help of the Ministry of Natur- al Resources. As part of that plan, he began to cut down trees that needed to be brought out along Town Line. He said Monday he has sold 50 of the 130 cords of firewood cut down from his property, adding he’s made $20,000 in the last week.

Chapters is at Harwood Avenue and Hwy. 2 BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM — The Province needs to cut the apron strings and give mu- nicipalities the authority to do business as they see fit when the government in- troduces a new Municipal Act this fall, says Durham’s chairman. Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Chris Hodgson told delegates at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference Monday that his government will introduce a new act in the fall session of the legis- lature. “If that is the case, that is good news,” Durham Chairman Roger An- derson said Tuesday in an interview from Toronto’s Royal York Hotel where the conference is under way. Mr. Anderson, a member of the AMO board, noted the association has been pushing for changes to the current Municipal Act for years now. First passed in 1849, the Municipal Act has not had a major overhaul in more than 150 years. “Municipalities are a creature of the provincial government,” Mr. Anderson said, adding the Province “has to start to look at municipalities as a separate level of government and not as their children... they should go about letting us do business as grown-ups.” Mr. Anderson said if the minister gives municipalities that authority, “that’s a big step to where we want to go”. According to the ministry, the pro- posed act would give municipalities new flexibility to find the best ways to deliver services. It would also give mu- nicipalities “broad authority within 10 local spheres of jurisdiction, such as public utilities and local transportation. Mr. Hodgson told delegates Mon- day that the changes would signal a new partnership. “Municipal Act reform is the cor- nerstone of a new, stronger and more mature relationship between munici- palities and the provincial govern- ment,” he said. “We’ve worked hard to build a consensus among the various municipal and business interests. We are now ready to move forward with an approach that would simplify and streamline the act and give municipali- ties greater authority to deliver services in ways that meet local needs.” “It’s nice to see it’s finally getting the attention it deserves,” Mr. Ander- son said, adding he expects the Region and its eight municipalities will pro- vide valuable input on the draft legisla- tion. Meanwhile, Mr. Anderson noted the municipalities of Oshawa and Brock will benefit from another initiative an- nounced by the minister Monday. Mr. Hodgson said continuation of the Province’s community reinvest- ment fund, which was designed to en- sure the exchange of services and re- sponsibilities under Local Services Re- alignment (LSR), remained revenue- neutral. Under LSR, which was imple- mented in January 1998, roughly $2.5 billion in service costs were transferred from the Province to municipalities. In exchange the Province took on a greater portion of education funding. “Those municipalities were left with a bit of a shortfall,” Mr. Anderson said of Brock and Oshawa, noting both areas will qualify for additional fund- ing. The AMO conference continues until today (Wednesday).

Dr. Reynolds said individu- als can take precautions if they are outdoors in the evening by wearing light-coloured, long- sleeved shirts and full-length pants. Residents are also being reminded to use a mosquito re- pellent containing DEET. She noted preliminary tests on the dead birds, one was found in Windsor and the other in Oakville, were “presump- tive”, so the birds are currently undergoing further testing at a Winnipeg lab to confirm the presence of the virus. The West Nile virus, which first appeared in New York State in the summer of 1999 and caused seven deaths, is spread by mosquitoes, which become carriers after feeding on infected birds. The virus is then spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosqui- to. Dead birds, especially crows and blue jays, are believed to be an early indicator that the virus has entered an area. Dr. Reynolds said the health unit is encouraging residents to continue reporting any dead bird sightings in Durham. “We are one of the top three health units for the bird surveil- lance program,” she said, not- ing the Region’s health depart- ment has submitted 85 dead birds for testing at the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Centre in Guelph. An additional 75 dead birds have been reported in the area, but were not submitted for testing, she said. “If it is decayed that pre- cludes our submitting it,” she explained. Dr. Reynolds reported 638 wild birds have tested positive for the virus in the United States this year. She notes four human cases are being investi- gated, including two in Florida, one in New York and another in Atlanta, Georgia. There have been no human cases found in Canada. The health department re- ports the risk of transmission of the virus to humans is very low. “In most cases of West Nile virus infection, no symptoms occur. In the few that develop symptoms, a mild fever, headache and mild flu-like symptoms may occur,” Dr. Reynolds said. “More severe cases are rare and may result in rapid onset of severe headache, high fever, stiff neck, muscle weakness and disorientation. While most people fully recov- er, severe illness may rarely re- sult in death, especially among the elderly.” For more information about the West Nile virus, visit the Region’s Web site at www.re- gion.durham.on.ca.

SDA Commentary Vol 7 p. 976 WHO IS THE BEAST, THE DRAGON, AND THE WOMAN? In prophetic language, the symbol of a Woman represents a church, as we find it in Jeremiah 6:1-2 or Ephesians 5:24-27. Also in the book of Revelation, it is described to us, by the symbol of a “woman”the pure and only church of Christ, that “keeps the commandments of God and has the faith of Jesus”(Rev. 12:6, 13-17; 14:12). The same book of Revelation describes another “woman” that is not of Christ, it is a rich, arrogant and persecuting church: REVELATION CHAPTER 17 [All italic print in brackets is supplied by us] 1) And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore [impure church] that sitteth upon many waters:(see verse 15) [she controls multitudes and nations]. 2) With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication [political alliances], and the inhabi- tants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornica- tion [mysteries, traditions & false doctrines]. 3) So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [see verse 9 for a clearer under - standing]. 4) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour [the colors in the attire of her leadership], and decked with goldand precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand [the vessels of her rituals] full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5) And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABY- LON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINA- TIONS OF THE EARTH. 6) And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [a murderous & persecuting church].... 9) ...And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [historically, Rome has been the city of the seven moun - tains] 10) And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11) And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [the eighth king of the r evived beast sees her destruction] 12) And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings [world powers at large], which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.[still future] 13) These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14) These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faith- ful. 15) And he saith unto me, T h e waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multi- tudes, and nations, and tongues.[she controls them through world govern - ments] 16) And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire [they will at the end turn against her]. 17) For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will [to burn her with fire], and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast [new secu - lar order], until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18) And the woman [the impure church]which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.[with prophetic insight into the future, John was unmistakably hinting at the city of Rome and at the church that was to emerge thereof] Jesus said in Matt 11:28-30: “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” S A T U R D A Y I S THE SABBATH THE 7t h D AY THE LORD’S DAY Beware of SUNDAY ... Counterfeit SABBATH ... THE MARK OF THE BEAST Will be ENFORCED AS THE DAY OF REST & WORSHIP BYA NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW! EXODUS 20:8-11, EZEKIEL20:20, DANIEL7:25, MATTHEW 12:8, LUKE 23:56, REVELATION 13:16-17 & 14:7-12 “The Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath Day.” (Matthew 12:8). The sev- enth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. ( F o u rth Commandment Exodus 20:8-11) And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James... very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sep- ulcher at the rising of the sun... And enter- ing into the sepulcher, they saw a young man. And he saith unto them, be not a ffrighted; Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified; He is risen. (Mark 16:1-6). Everyone knows that Sunday was the res - urrection day. “The Sabbath was past” when it dawned. Thus it is evident that the Sabbath is Saturday, the day before Sunday.“ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” (Matthew 5:17 ). “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:18 ). “And that day was the Preparation day and the Sabbath drew on. And the women also, which came with Him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the Sepulcher, and how His body was laid. And they returned and prepared spices and oint- ments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.”(Luke 23:54-56). Notice that Luke, a non-Jewish biblical writer, approximately 37 years AFTER the re s u rrection of Christ, still called the Sabbath (the seventh day of the week) a Commandment of God. “And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three Sabbath days rea- soned with them out of the Scripture.” (Acts 17:2). “And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.” (Acts 18:4) In the New Testament, there are no less than 59 references to the Sabbath. The book of Acts records 84 Sabbaths on which the Apostle Paul and his associates held religious services. Yet there is not ONE word in the entire Bible endorsing Sunday keeping. “He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth NOTHis Commandments, IS ALIAR, and THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM.” (1 John 2:4). “If you love Me KEEP my command- ments.” (John 14:15). “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet OFFEND IN ONE POINT, he is GUILTY OF ALL.” (James 2:10). The law that the Bible refers to, here, is the law of the T E N C O M M A N D M E N T S , which were written by God’s finger. (James 2:8-11, Mathew 5:17-21, Exodus 31:18, Deuteronomy 10:1-4). “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the Commandments.” (Matthew 19:17). “God blessed the SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT.” (Genesis 2:3) “He hath blessed and I cannot reverse it.” (Numbers 23:20) “For thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed forever.” (I Chronicles 17:27). “Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king- dom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21). “For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain; and it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another and from one Sabbath to another shall all flesh come to wor- ship before Me, saith the Lord.” (Isaiah 66:22, 23). According to Colossians 2:14-17, the sacrifices with its ceremonies and ritu - als (as registered in Leviticus 23 and other texts), were nailed (abolished) on the cross. But not the Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment, that is Eternal, as indicated in the above Bible verses. THE AIMS OF THE BEAST Revelation 13:7-18, ...And it was given onto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given HIMoverall kindreds, and tongues and nations. (it is happening now in this world as you read, power is given to him) 8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship HIM, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb (Christ)slain from the foundation of the world. 11) And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth (this new power does not come out of multi - tudes of nations as did the first beast that came out of the waters); and he had two horns like a Lamb (it is a Christian nation, and he acts as a noble power) and he spake as a dragon. (How Lord?, what changes in this noble nation of ours?) 12) And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast (conforming to her dog - mas and supporting her institu - tions),whose deadly wound was healed (this first beast then revives and regains its former power and prominence, aided by the second beast) 13) And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men (false revivals and miracles) 14) And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast which had the wound by sword and did live. (to raise an object of her worship, and with this action she fully recov - ers to her former brilliance after a 200 year setback in history, now with renewed power and influence she conquers). 15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image (honor her day)of the beast should be killed. 16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand (by compulsion), or in their forheads (by conviction): 17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the num- ber of his name. THOSE WHO HONOR THE BIBLE SABBATH WILL BE DENOUNCED AS ENEMIES OF LAW AND ORDER As breaking down the moral restraints of society, causing anar- chy and corruption, and calling down the judgments of God upon the earth. Their conscientious scru- ples will be pronounced obstinacy, stubbornness, and contempt of authority. They will be accused of disaffection toward the government. Ministers who deny the obligation of the divine law will present from the pulpit the duty of yielding obedience to the civil authorities as ordained of God. In legislative halls and courts of justice, com- mandment-keepers will be misrep- resented and condemned.... As the Protestant churches reject the clear, Scriptural arguments in defense of God’s law, they will long to silence those whose faith they cannot overthrow by the Bible... The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the S u n d a y. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by o p p ressive enactments. P o l i t i c a l corruption is destroying love of jus- tice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected. Great Controversy,page 592. on Rev. 12:17 Papist, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand move- ment for the conversion of the world, and the ushering in of the long expected mil- lennium. Great Controversy,page 406 “FIRST DAY” BIBLE TEXTS There are only eight texts in the New Testament that mention the first day of the week. Please look at them carefully: Matthew 28: 1; Mark 16: 1, 2 Mark 16: 9; Luke 24: 1; John 20: 1, 19; Acts 20: 7, 8 I Corinthians 16: 1, 2 The first five texts simply state that the women came to the sepulcher early on the resurrection morning (Sunday), and that Jesus rose from the dead. Now look up John 20:19 in your Bible. It tells us that Jesus appeared to the disciples later on the resurrection day. It says that the reason they were assembled was “for fear of the Jews.” No telling when the authorities might grab them and treat them to the same fate as their Master. They had seen their beloved Master die on Friday. T h e y “returned and prepared spices and oint- ments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.” (Luke 23:56) And now they’re hiding with the door shut for “fear of the Jews.” see (John 20:19) There’s no mention of a change. The seventh text is Acts 20:7. It says, “and upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow and continued his speech until midnight. “And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.” This was a night meeting - the dark part of the first day of the week. In the Bible reckoning, the dark part of the day comes before the light part. (Genesis 1:5) “And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” The dark part comes first. The Bible reckons a day from sunset to sunset. The seventh day begins at sunset Friday evening. The first day begins sunset Saturday evening. Paul is together with his friends on the dark part of the first day of the week which we call today “Saturday night”. This is a farewell get-together. He preaches until midnight until poor Eutychus falls out of the window. (Acts 20:9) You can imagine how relieved they were when it was found that God spared his life. Verse eleven says that they talked till the break of day, and then Paul departed. Verse thirteen shows that Paul spent that Sunday morning travel- ing to Assos. There’s nothing here either concerning a change of the Sabbath. The New English Bible translates this text like this: “On Saturday night, in our assembly for the breaking of the bread, Paul who was to leave the next day, addressed them, and went on speaking until midnight.” (Acts 20:7). The last text that mentions the first day of the week is in I Corinthians 16:1,2. It says: “Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the church- es of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gathering when I come.” Verse three tells us that he will bring the offering to Jerusalem. As he had done in Galatia, so Paul also requested of those in Corinth to have a collection all ready when he would come to take it to the poor saints in Jerusalem. There’s nothing in the text about a church service, but each person is to “lay by him in store.” The first day of the week was the best time for people to set some money aside because later in the week it would be spent. That’s true today as well! Paul requested this so “that there be no gathering when I come.” (I Corinth. 16:2). CATHOLICISM SPEAKS “Sunday is a Catholic institution, and the claims to its observance can be defended only on Catholic principles... From begin- ning to end of Scripture, there is not a sin- gle passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.” The Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, August, 1900 “If Protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath Day. In keeping the Sunday, they are fol- lowing a law of the Catholic Church.” A l b e rt Smith, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the Cardinal in a letter,February 1, 1920. “The Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant, claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday. In this matter, the Seventh-day Adventist is the only consistent Protestant.” T h e Catholic Universe Bulletin,August 14, 1942, page 4. “ We all gather on the day of the SUN...Sunday on which the paschal mys- tery is celebrated in the light of the apos- tolic tradition and is to be observed as the foremost holy day of obligation in the uni- versal church.” New Catholic Catechism 1993), pages 582, 583.

And there followed anoth- er angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine [false doctrines and traditions]of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast [the mother church now enthroned, rides on the beast]and his image, [separated daughters support - ing her Sunday legislation]and receive his MARK in his forehead, or on his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the MARK [COMPULSORY LAWS FOR SUNDAY KEEPING]of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God [INCLUDING SATURDAY KEEPING] and the faith of Jesus.” COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE Revelation 18:1-8 “After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hateful bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine [her false doctrines & traditions]of the wrath of her fornication, the kings [nations’ leaders] of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her lux- ury. And I heard another angel from heaven saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. for her sins have reached to heaven, and God remembered her iniq- uities. Render to her just as she ren- dered to you, and repay her double according to her works, in the CUP which she has mixed, mix double for her. A COMMENTARY ON REV. 17 [Rev. 17:13, 14 quoted.]“These have one mind.” There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan’s forces. “And shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it perse- cuted those who dared to refuse to con- form with the religious rites and cere- monies of Romanism. [Rev 13:11-17 quoted.]- The image of the beast will be formed before pro- bation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided... This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who prove their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious Sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday Sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast. Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary.. Vol.. 7 page 976. In the warfare to be waged in the last days there will be united, in opposition to God’s people, all the corrupt powers that have apostatized form allegiance to the law of Jehovah. In this warfare the Sabbath of the fourth command- ment will be the great point at issue; for in the Sabbath commandment the great Lawgiveridentifies Himself as the Creatorof the heavens and the earth. SDA Commentary ...vol 7 page 983 “Seventh-day Adventists are con- vinced of the validity of our prophetic views, according to which humanity now lives close to the end of time. Adventists believe, on the basis of bib- lical prediction, that just prior to the second coming of Christ, this earth will experience a period of unprecedented turmoil, with the seventh-day Sabbath as the focal point. In that context, we expect that world religions - including the major Christian bod- ies as key players - will align them- selves with the forces in opposition to God and to the Sabbath. Once again the union of church and state will result in widespread religious oppres- sion.” [This is a portion of a statement recorded on April 15, 1997, by the SDA Gen. Conference ADCOM and released by the office of the president, Robert S. Folkenberg] The Romish Church now presents a fair front to the world, ... but she is unchanged.... The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Let none deceive themselves. The popery that Protestants are now so ready to embrace and honor is the same that ruled the world in the days of the Reformation,when men of God stood up at the peril of their lives to expose her iniquity. .. P o p e ry is just what prophesy declared that she would be, the apostasy of the latter t i m e s . Great Controversy Pages 387-388. WHY THE FINAL WARNING? Of Babylon, at the time brought to view in this prophecy [time of the end], it is declared: “Her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remem- b e red her iniquities.” R e v e l a t i o n 18:5. She has filled up the measure of her guilt, and destruction is about to fall upon her.But God still has a peo- ple in Babylon; and before the visita- tion of His judgments, these faithful ones must be called out, that they partake not of her sins and “receive not of her plagues.” Hence the move- ment symbolized by the angel coming down from heaven, lightening the earth with his glory and crying mightily with a strong voice, announcing the sins of Babylon. In connection with his mes- sage the call is heard: “Come out of her, My people.” These announce- ments, uniting with the third angel’s message constitute the final warning to be given to the inhabitants of the earth. “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive HIS MARK in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation.” Revelation 14: 9,10. (Great Controversy, pages 604, 605) He who is trying to reach heaven by his own works in keeping the law is attempting an impossibili - ty...While we are to be in harmony with God’s law, we are not saved by the works of the law, yet we can not be saved without obedience. (F a i t h and Works, pages 94-95) HISTORIC CONCEPTS OF THE MARK OF THE BEAST Seventh-day Adventists believe that Bible prophecies predict a resurgence of papal power, with legal enforcement of its mark of authority, in the last days. That, we understand, is when the “mark of the beast” will be imposed--in connection with the last great religious crisis affecting all mankind ( R e v. 13:16, 17).That is why Seventh-day Adventists have such deep conviction concerning the Sabbath as a coming test. First, we are not alone in our deep convictions concerning the Sabbath... ..Nor are we either isolated or unique in connecting the mark with some form of subserviency to Papacy, of submis- sion to its powers, laws, pressures, and mandates. We find Christian scholars of various lands and races who studied and wrote on the question. For cen- turies Christians pondered this coming mark, and had inklings of its intent: Note them: From the time of Wy c l i ff e ’s associate, John Purvey, onward, men have felt that the mark of the beast had to do with the papacy, and pertained to papal power and decrees. Andreas Osiander (died 1552), Reformation pastor at Nurnberg, said that it was subserviency to the Papacy. L u t h e r’s associate, Nikolaus von Amsdorf (died 1565), of Magdeburg, thought it had to do with enforced papal ceremonies and decrees... In Colonial America, Puritan theocrat John Cotton (died 1652) believed that those who receive the mark of the beast are the ones who receive their orders from the Church of Rome. Congregationalist Edward Holyoke (died 1660) defined it as yielding to the popes’s law. Back again in england, Baptist the- ologian Andrew Fuller (died 1815) placed the mark of the beast and the seal of God in opposition. And to American Presbyterian Robert Reid (died 1844) it was submission to Roman error. Such are samplings of the historic applications of scholars covering five hundred years. (All are discussed in Le Roy Edwin Froom, Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers,vols. 2 and 3.) This historic overview was taken from the book Seventh-day Adventists Answer Questions on Doctrine, pages 179, 180 “It was customary among ancients for servants to receive the mark of their master, and soldiers of their general, and those who were devoted to any particular deity, of the particular deity to whom they were devoted. These marks were usually impressed on their right hand or on their foreheads; and consisted of some hieroglyphic charac- ters, or of the name expressed in vul- gar letters, or of the name disguised in numerical letters according to the fancy of the imposer. It is in allusion to this ancient practice and custom that the symbol and profession of faith in the Church of Rome, as subserving to superstition, idolatry, and tyranny, is called ‘the mark’ or character of the beast; which character is said to be received ‘in the forehead,’ when they make open and public declaration of their faith, and ‘in their right hand,’ when they live and act in conformity to it” (On the Prophecies, pp. 634-635). Out of the ruins of political Rome, arose the great moral Empire in the “giant form” of the Roman Church.- A.C Flick, The Rise of the Mediaeval Church (1909), p. 150 Whatever Roman elements the bar- barians and Arians left standing in the provinces... were...put under the pro- tection of the Bishop of Rome, who was the chief person there after the E m p e r o r’s disappearance...T h e Roman Church in this way privily pushed itself into the place of the Roman World-Empire, of which it is the actual continuation;the empire has not perished, but has only under- gone a transformation. If we assert...that the Roman Church is the old Roman Empire consecrated by the Gospel, that is no mere “clever remark,” but the recognition of the true state of the matter historically, and the most appropriate and fruitful way of describing the character of this Church. It still governs the nations. ...It is a political creation,and as imposing as a World-Empire, because the continua- tion of the Roman Empire, The Pope, who calls himself “King” and “Pontifex Maximus,” is Caesar’s successor. -Adolf Harnack, What Is Christianity?(1903), pp. 269. 270. THE BOOK OF DANIEL ALSO PREDICTED IT “Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth (Rome), which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (it is diverse or d i f f e rent, stro n g e r, longer lasting, a religious empire with unprecedented political powers) And the ten horns out of this king- dom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them;and he shall be diverse (different)from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:and they (the saints the times and the law) shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (1260 days) “But the judgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to con- sume and to destroy it unto the end.” Daniel 7: 24 - 26 “And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power (the roulers of the earth lend this power to him): and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to proper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, (claims the authority of God on earth) and by peace shall destroy many:he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (Christ our Lord);but he shall be broken without hand.” (Christ’s sec - ond coming ) Daniel 8:24, 25 “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire” Rev. 17: 16 SANCTIFYTHEM THROUGH THY TRUTH: THYWORD IS TRUTH John 17:17 There is no Bible sanctification for those who cast part of the truth behind them. There is light enough given in the word of God, so that none need err.... Jesus, considered as a man, was perfect, yet He grew in grace. “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man” Luke 2: 52. Even the most perfect Christian may increase continually in the knowl- edge and love of God.... Sanctification is not the work of a moment, an hour, or a day. It is a continual growth in grace.... Satan lives, and is active, and every day we need to cry earnestly to God for help and strength to resist him. As long as Satan reigns we shall have self to subdue, besetments to overcome, and there is no stopping place, there is no point to which we can come and say we have fully attained.... The Christian life is constantly an onward march. Jesus sits as a refiner and purifier of His people;and when His image is perfectly reflected in them, they are perfect and holy, and prepared for translation. See Romans 8:29, 30 By faith we behold Him here and now. In our daily experience we dis- cern His goodness and compassion in the manifestation of His providence. We recognize Him in the character of His Son... The pure heart see God in a pure and endearing relation, as their Redeemer; and while they discern the purity and loveliness of His character, they long to reflect His image. They see Him as a Father longing to embrace a repenting son, and their hearts are filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory.... The pure in heart lives as in the visi- ble presence of God during the time He apportions them in this world. And they will also see Him face to face in the future, immortal state, as did Adam when he walked and talked with God in Eden. Maranatha The Lord Is Coming Pages 88 and 89.

It was good to read about the crowd’s cheers for the Canadian athletes at the World Track and Field Championships held recently in Edmonton as this does encour- age the team. I was a member of the National Sports Council in Guyana, South America, the country from which I emigrated to Canada in 1995, and I know how much young athletes can learn when they take part in in- ternational championships. First of all, you are representing your country, a great honour, and your behaviour on and off the field reflects on your homeland. You learn to be obedient and re- spectful to the manager of your team regarding such issues as the hours you can stay out at night dur- ing the games. You learn to accept gracefully the decisions of the offi- cials after a race is over (even though you may feel otherwise) and you get an opportunity to meet world champions and see how they perform. A great radio sports an- nouncer used to say ‘it’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game that matters.’ Don’t give up you Canadians — keep trying and remember: there is nothing in the world better than taking part in sport. Gloria D’Ornellas, Ajax Prove Tories wrong and write teachers’ test To the editor: Re: ‘Durham teachers vow to skip certification tests’, Aug. 15. So once again the teachers have decided they do not care what their employers want, or the people who elected this government want, or the students themselves want. Bill Butcher, Durham president of the Elementary Teachers’Feder- ation of Ontario (ETFO), has stated teachers are “not very happy that they have to sit down and write a test”. Who likes to write tests? Doc- tors have to recertify, firefighters, police and even real estate agents have to write periodic exams, so why not teachers? I’ve read teach- ers are tested by the principal of their school, but isn’t that like hav- ing students test themselves? Simply put, these teachers are dealing with the most important re- source our province has — our children. Shouldn’t we be assured our children are receiving the best education possible? If only one per cent of the 65,000 ETFO school teachers are not totally qualified or competent to educate our children, that means there are 650 unqualified or incom- petent teachers, teaching in excess of 13,000 students. It certainly can- not be the belief of the union, nor of the teachers, nor anyone else that 100 per cent of the teachers are to- tally qualified or competent to meet the needs of our children. If 100 per cent of them were to- tally qualified and competent, then the government would only need to test them once, realize the error of their ways, and drop the testing completely. If, however, one per cent or more fail such testing, per- haps the government is right in its stand. It is time the teachers did the right thing and obeyed the laws that have been legally enacted by a duly elected government.

We regret that due to the volume of let- ters, not all will be printed. Premier Mike Harris is a low- brow who probably thinks ‘Don Giovanni’ is an Italian barber in North Bay. The Progressive Conservative premier’s cultural tastes are mostly his own business, but he has made them a public issue again by beg- ging the notorious World Wrestling Federation to bring one of its major shows to Toronto. These, according to one show watched on TV a few days ago, consist of such uplifting spectacles as a muscular, shaven-headed, 300- pound man stripped to the waist sticking up his finger obscenely and demanding a rival “get down here so I can whip your ass.” A minute later the shorn man chose to kick his opponent repeat- edly in the testicles or ‘lower ex- tremities,’ as the ring announcer euphemistically put it, and a parade of beefy successors smashed metal garbage cans and chairs on each others’ backs and leaped from the ropes on the necks of prostrate foes. There was also a wrestler who proclaimed himself ‘the meanest son-of-a-bitch in the WWF‚” and sex in the form of one wrestler beaten up in a parking lot because he ran off with another’s wife and a ‘bra-and-panties match’ between seedy blondes in which the losers had to strip to the promised under- garments. Mr. Harris nonetheless wrote to the WWF saying he was excited by the possibility it will come here and promised a warm welcome. He said it would attract tourists who spend and is fun and he takes his two sons to watch. The premier has hit a new low in what he considers entertainment, but he has never set high standards. He claimed when elected he is ‘an average guy next door,’ but his tastes may be below that level. Mr. Harris is the first premier in 50 years without a university de- gree, which is not at all a barrier to good taste. But he does not read books and when asked to name those he had read recently, could mention only a children’s book, ‘Mr. Silly,’ which his children probably left lying around. He sprinkles his speech with phrases that betray his lack of read- ing like “I’m not exactly sure‚” and “I’ll do my doggonest‚” and re- cently called another MPP an “ass- hole”, which he may even have picked up from the WWF, where it is the No. 1 form of address. Mr. Harris almost never attends theatre, symphony, opera or ballet unlike some earlier premiers. New Democrat Bob Rae held so many book-launches at the legislature it often resembled a writers’ conven- tion. Liberal David Peterson was seen so often in tux and red cum- merbund at theatre openings with his actress wife neighbours may have thought he had a job as a wait- er. Tory Frank Miller, while a right-winger from whom Mr. Har- ris says he picked up many of his political views, could still quote Oscar Wilde in defeat and the Tory before him, William Davis, en- joyed opera. Does it matter if Mr. Harris has lowbrow tastes? He was able to ob- tain ideas mainly on cutting taxes and government and communicate them effectively enough to win two elections. Mr. Harris’s supporters would point out Mr. Rae, while undeni- ably an intellectual, Rhodes Schol- ar, author and arts benefactor, gave the province higher taxes and huge debt (although he governed in an economic slump.) But Mr. Harris has been stingier with funding to help theatre, opera, ballet, music and writing than some of his predecessors and one explanation may be he personally has not found value in such pur- suits that uplift others. The premier has endorsed just about the lowest in so-called sports entertainment. Premiers before him tried to show they were sports fans to win the jock vote, but the WWF is not sport, which implies a con- test, because all the outcomes are prearranged. Most who watch probably rec- ognize its violence is fake, al- though wrestlers get hurt acciden- tally and not long ago one of the most famous, Owen Hart, was killed in one of its stunts. But some particularly young viewers may feel it is real and it in- ures them to violence. It even prompts them to imitate and at least two deaths have been attrib- uted to attempts to copy wrestling on TV. Mr. Harris also oddly cam- paigns for ‘family values’ and tightened rules in schools against violence and obscenity. Parents and teachers in some areas forced WWF wrestling to move to times on TV when their children are less likely to watch, but their premier has now whipped up an audience for it. Premier should body slam WWF Wrestling doesn’t fit with ‘family values’campaigning Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park shouston@durhamregion.com You said it The question was: After two positive tests this week, are you concerned the West Nile virus is headed for Durham? Doug Dodge said,“No, real- ly there is a good detection system.” Klaus Gerwe said,“Yes, we don’t have enough infor- mation.” Steven Lebel said,“No, I be- lieve it’s a lot of hype.” One can hardly blame rural Pickering residents from ex- pecting the worst when it comes to the federal government’s interest in the so-called airport lands. After all, they are the people who, for 30 years, have fought the feds on and off as it relates to future uses of the land. But the latest local reaction to a decision by the federal government to take another step in designating the lands as an airport site was a little too strenuous, given the positive changes that have occurred in recent years. As Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague noted this week: “The federal government has been acting in an ex- tremely conciliatory way... a lot of goodwill has been estab- lished.” Mr. McTeague’s characterization of the federal govern- ment’s approach to the airport lands in recent years can only be described as accurate. City of Pickering officials and the Voters Organized to Cancel the Airport Lands (VOCAL) would also surely concede they have made important gains in their dealings with the feds over the issue. It all culminated earlier this year when Transport Minister David Collenette stated the federal government was abandon- ing its long-held plan to eventually build an international air- port in Pickering. As well, you’ll remember, the feds at that time dedicated some 7,000 acres of land on the Oak Ridges Moraine, including roughly 5,500 acres in Pickering, as green space. The designation news last week that started tongues wag- ging in political circles, however, doesn’t appear to jibe with the loud local reaction. As Mr. McTeague pointed out, the government must proceed with the designation before the zoning process can be appropriately navigated. And Transport Canada ensured the language it used in an- nouncing the designation included a reference to the co-oper- ative nature of recent discussions between the feds and local stakeholders. “This declaration process represents prudent long-term planning and does not, in any way, mean that a decision to proceed with an airport has been made. Any such decision would be subject to a comprehensive environmental review process, substantial public consultation and approvals by ap- propriate federal, provincial and municipal agencies.” So, while it is understandable, given the history of the air- port lands, that local groups are wary of the feds, they should take some comfort from these assurances. But as it has so often proven in the past,VOCAL will serve local needs well into the future by remaining engaged in the process. VOCAL must continue to call for a place at the table and remain vigilant in protecting the area. Who can fault them for that? Designation of land only one step Federal government’s move doesn’t mean building of airport a done deal Canadians will have to see a lot more than Alliance dis- sidents and Tories high-fiving it on golf courses to believe there is a real chance to finally unite the right. But since the idea to bring the Reform Party and Tories together first was floated seriously a few years ago, we’ve only gone further and further from that sensible, realistic goal. We’ve had the Alliance hold a party-destroying leader- ship race that resulted in the inept and now mocked Stock- well Day taking on the mantle of leader. Mr. Day so an- gered and turned off his caucus a dozen of his MPs jumped ship and formed their own prospective party; and all this less than a year after he became leader. Ultimately, those millions of voters who oppose the Lib- erals desperately need a party they can believe in and sup- port. None of the Progressive Conservatives, Canadian Al- liance or Democratic Caucus has what it takes on its own to threaten the Liberals. If Joe Clark, Stockwell Day and Chuck Strahl would simply drop the pretences and leave their egos at the door, perhaps serious progress could be made. Surely there are enough major issues upon which these three can agree. They all want lower taxes, a more concerted attempt to pay off the federal debt, a concentrated effort to improve our medicare system, a stronger military, a focused plan to deal with Quebec separatists; the list goes on and on. There are relatively minor disagreements: Tories and Al- liance members disagree on how to reform the Senate, have different views about the usefulness of referendums and are far apart on the strange Alliance idea of MP recall. Surely these details can be compromised on and a unified front formed to take on the Liberals. A new united right-of-centre party with a strong, new leader is the only hope Canadians have of seeing an effec- tive opposition with a real chance to win power. We can only hope this new party is in place within 18 months. If not, the Liberals can laugh all the way to Parliament Hill come the next election.

It’s that time again, when rebels meet on the steps of taverns and in blacksmiths’ shops, wrapping themselves in wool against the chill night and arming themselves with axes and pitchforks, reminding themselves of why they are driven to do this yet again, encouraging each other, reassuring wives and children left at home for days on end. Some quake in corners while others are loud in false bravado. Others find solace in prayer while a few, no doubt, turn to Dutch courage before the moment comes when they must face - the audience. Yes, it’s time for the sixth annual production of A Spirit Walk, as the Pickering Museum Village pays homage to the pioneers of the Township who gave not only their toil and their sweat but, in some cases, their blood for the creation of this Pickering, this Ontario, this Canada. In September the newly-formed Backwoods Players joins the O’Leary School of Drama in presenting a tale of humour and sacrifice, of back-breaking work and noble ideals, set against the pathways and parlours of our living history museum in the picturesque valley of the Duffin Creek. Two hundred years ago, Peter Matthews and other early settlers walked these very lands. Just a handful of families worked together, celebrated together, mourned together in the monumental task of settling the backwoods. A Spirit Walk celebrates these people, taking visitors on a lantern-lit walk with their ‘Spirit Guide’ to meet the pioneers and follow the path from loyalist to rebel, from ploughshare to the gallows. Performances run September 14, 15, 21, 22. Tickets go on sale August 31 and must be purchased in advance. For further information or to book tickets, please call the Pickering Museum Village, 905-683-8401. Pickering Museum Village is owned and operated by the City of Pickering. It is located on Highway Seven near Westney Road in the Hamlet of Greenwood.

While there’s lots of need for more space, Mr. Massie said this accommo- dation plan, compared to the last, “def- initely won’t be that ambitious”. The three-year plan approved in December 1998 called for 11 elementary schools, the new high school in Ajax and rough- ly half a dozen additions. “We just have not experienced a great amount of growth since the last plan was put forward,” he said. “Even though we are advocating a similar plan, I don’t know if we’ll have the money to finance it.” Mr. Massie said the board is still paying off the last accommodation plan with yearly grants received from the Education Ministry. The current accommodation plan, which expires at the end of this year, prompted an uproar in Oshawa when it originally called for the closure of six schools there. Mr. Massie said he has to explain “the rationale around closures” to trustees, roughly half of whom were elected less than a year ago. “A couple of our trustees have made statements at (school community) pre- sentations that they don’t believe in closing schools and they believe in small schools,” said Mr. Massie. “So do I, but the ministry doesn’t fund that way.” The ministry’s pupil accommoda- tion grant covers the cost of building new schools, maintaining existing ones and running facilities. To qualify for new pupil place funding, boards must demonstrate they do not have enough space in existing schools for their stu- dent population. So schools that are not full are a disadvantage to a board seek- ing funding.

The camp showcased about 70 youngsters to Panthers coaching and scouting personnel at the Pickering Recreation Complex for a four-day stretch. And, Bill Purcell, the new bench boss of the OHA Ontario Provincial Ju- nior ‘A’ Hockey League Club, liked what he saw. “A lot of these kids are bantam kids (15- and 16-year-olds),” said Purcell in an inter- view prior to last Thursday night’s final prac- tice session and scrimmage. “I’m certainly pleased with the calibre of the players, espe- cially the local kids. It shows me the minor hockey system here is doing a good job.” The quartet of Purcell, assistant coach Craig Chandler, chief scout Glen Snyder and general manager Cliff Long evaluated the on- ice talent throughout the week and Purcell noted the group has been mostly unanimous in their assessments of many of the same players. He won’t, however, reveal any names of these blue-chip prospects as yet, saying it’s too early in the process. Purcell said he planned to give as many rookies as possible every opportunity to at- tend the main Panthers’training camp, which began Monday, and, ultimately, make the Panthers’ roster. He may even go as far as to ice an all-rookie team in one of the exhibition contests later this month. “It’s one of the things in the back of my mind,” said Purcell. Purcell said he’s prepared to go with up- wards of 40 players, or roughly two complete teams, at the main camp. He’s unsure, as of yet, how many of last year’s players will re- turn to camp, but expects there to be plenty of player movement. “We’ll probably get some other kids from other (junior ‘A’) camps. It’s the same old story that they haven’t had a fair shake at the other camps,” said Purcell, who started coach- ing with the Panthers in the 1970s and has more than 30 years of coaching experience from which to draw on. Purcell said he’ll waste little time in cut- ting down to a manageable number at training camp, as he wants to give players the chance to catch on with other teams if let go. “We want to give them the chance to catch on somewhere else. The majority of the ban- tams at the camp can go back to their bantam team or go to a midget team,” said Purcell. While he’ll attempt to put together the best possible team at the conclusion of the camp and the exhibition season, he’s a big booster of giving local talent a chance to crack the Panthers’lineup. “If a local kid is even close to (being as skilled as) the guy from out- side the area, it will be the local kid (on the team),” said Purcell, who considers players from Durham Region and from east Scarbor- ough as homegrown products. The main training camp runs through the end of the week at the recreation complex be- ginning at 7 p.m. The Panthers will start their exhibition season at home against the Oshawa Legionaires on Saturday, Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 22, 2001 PAGE B1 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER AUGUST 22, 2001 New Panthers coach likes what he sees Recycle it!PICKERING — Oak Ridges was all that stood be- tween the Picker- ing Heat North- west Mutual Funds midget girls’ fast- ball team and top spot at a recent provincial qualify- ing tournament. But Oak Ridges proved to be too much, beating the Heat twice during the event in Stouf- fville, Aug. 3 to 5, as Pickering fin- ished third to grab the bronze medal. Stefanie Kelley was on the mound for Pickering’s final game of the tournament, a 7-0 loss to Oak Ridges. A game earlier, the Heat needed extra innings to knock off Kingston, which staged a huge rally after being down 6-1. Devon Curran drove home Christina Chiapetta for the deciding run in a 7-6 win. Defence was the name of the game against Ne- pean. Third base- man Aleia Karim, second baseman Heather Wilkinson and Meaghan Boyle at first were sharp in preserving a 4-2 win. Oak Ridges handed the Heat their first loss of the tourney in Game 3, dumping Pickering 9-2. In Game 2, Jackie Wong was strong on the mound in an 8-6 win over Aurora, while Nicole Boyle contributed a cou- ple of nice catches. Pickering began the tournament with a slugfest against Cobourg, winning 16-14. Julia Wareham and Kristine Cowan provided timely hits to go with Nicole Gifford’s fine base running.

Kindermusik encourages your child to think, feel, move, sing and speak creatively, imaginatively and with every ounce of giggle, wiggle, whisper or shout she can muster.

AJAX —Donating food to the Ajax-Pickering Salvation Army will earn you a dozen roses. Grower Direct Flowers holds its fourth annual friendship day Thursday, Aug. 23 and there are free flowers for each donation. Also, to promote friend- ship, those receiving flow- ers are asked to keep one and give the other 11 to others. All Grower Direct stores across Canada take part in the event. Locally, there’s a Grower Direct in the Baywood Plaza, at Bayly Street and Monarch Avenue in Ajax. Last year, more than 2,000 pounds of food was collected for the Salvation Army.

BY TIM FORAN Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham Region will be the first to host an open house on an advisory panel’s recommendations to protect the environmentally sensitive Oak Ridges Moraine. But, a Pickering councillor fears the provincial government’s tight timeline for consultation will limit the amount of input residents and municipalities can offer. The recommendations were released last week by the Province in a report, ‘Share your vision for the Oak Ridges Moraine’. Included among the 11 sug- gestions from the 14 stakeholders on the panel were: • Establishing four distinct land-use designations for the moraine; • Doubling the amount of publicly owned moraine lands to 12 per cent; • Developing a continuous recre- ational trail across the moraine’s 160 kilometres, linking other natural areas such as the Niagara Escarpment and the Rouge River Valley; and • Creating a moraine land trust to protect key natural heritage areas and connector links in partnership with other stakeholders. The panel suggests the trust could be partially funded by an en- vironmental development charge the Province could enact on any develop- ments on the moraine. “It’s a good start, but unfortunately it’s like Swiss cheese, filled with holes,” said Pickering Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner. Coun. Brenner raised concerns about the time frame for public comment. The Province has set a deadline of Sept. 14. “We’re in the tail end of the summer. Most councils are in recess,” he said. “Durham Region won’t even have an opportunity to meet, so who’s comment- ing?” He added, “the deadline is a re- flection of what seems to be a rubber stamp.” The panel also suggested 37 per cent of the moraine’s half-million acres be designated natural core areas with an- other 16 per cent designated natural linkage areas. Residential development would not be permitted in these areas, the panel suggests. Along the rest of the moraine, development limitations are more relaxed. The panel recommends 38 per cent of the moraine be designated as countryside. The remaining nine per cent would be designated for settlement areas, as identified in the official plans for the 32 municipalities on the moraine. Coun. Brenner said he’s concerned with the panel’s recommendations re- garding the countryside area, which could impact Pickering. He noted that suggestion would A/P PAGE B4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, August 22, 2001 BILLBOARD Aug. 22 WEDNESDAY, AUG. 22 ANNUALS SHOW:The Brooklin Horticul- tural Society hosts its annuals flower show be- ginning at 8 p.m. Members from all over Durham will bring flowers and vegetable speci- mens for their own garden for a friendly competi- tion.

He claimed it could be- come difficult for municipal- ities to decide they don’t want that type of develop- ment in their rural areas if the Province is allowing estate homes to be built on the moraine.

Q:As a beginner, I often get discour- aged. Any tips for staying motivated? A:Anyone who’s ever picked up a club knows how tough this game is and how easy it is to get discouraged, so remind yourself that we’ve all been there, felt that. When the wheels are coming off, go back to something you’ve had suc- cess with, like putting. Watch the clubface make contact with the ball — see, you can hit it! — and drain some putts. You’ll boost your confidence and, as a bonus, have practiced a shot that amounts to about 40 per- cent of your score. Or get a lesson — I did throughout my career. Your in- structor will help you form good habits so you can think less and start having more fun. Then be sure to practice. — Golf For Women magazine (www.golfforwomen.com) Driving accuracy 1.Donna Andrews . . . . . . . . . . . . . 849 2.Amy Fruhwirth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 818 3.Patti Liscio . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 813 4.Luciana Bemvenuti . . . . . . . . . . 812 5.Marnie McGuire . . . . . . . . . . . . . 809 Greens in regulation 1.Annika Sorenstam . . . . . . . . . . . 800 2.Karrie Webb . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 746 3.Se Ri Pak . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 743 4.Sherri Steinhauer . . . . . . . . . . . . 736 5.Kelly Robbins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 729 Eagles 1.Laura Diaz . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 1.Michele Redman . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 3.Dorothy Delasin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 3.Sophie Gustafson . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 3.Catriona Matthew . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 3.Sherri Turner . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Scoring average 1.Annika Sorenstam . . . . . . . . . 69.34 2.Se Ri Pak . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 69.76 3.Karrie Webb . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70.00 4.Rosie Jones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70.10 5.Dottie Pepper . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70.19 Sand saves pct. 1.Karen Pearce . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 627 2.Leslie Spalding . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 556 3.Rachel Teske . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 533 4.Carin Koch . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 531 5.Becky Morgan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 529 Putting average 1.Laura Davies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28.67 2.Vicki Goetze-Ackerman . . . . . 28.77 3.Rosie Jones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28.98 4.Dottie Pepper . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29.15 5.Leta Lindley . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29.16 Birdies 1.Mi Hyun Kim . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 304 2.Laura Diaz . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 291 3.Maria Hjorth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 289 3.Annika Sorenstam . . . . . . . . . . . 289 5.Nancy Scranton . . . . . . . . . . . . . 271 Driving distance 1.Akiko Fukushima . . . . . . . . . . 263.5 2.Wendy Doolan . . . . . . . . . . . . 262.1 3.Maria Hjorth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 261.1 4.Annette DeLuca . . . . . . . . . . . 260.7 5.Kelly Robbins . . . . . . . . . . . . . 259.2 Rounds under Par 1.Karrie Webb . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 738 2.Annika Sorenstam . . . . . . . . . . . 716 3.Se Ri Pak . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 677 4.Lorie Kane . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 676 5.Michele Redman . . . . . . . . . . . . 629 5.Rosie Jones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 629 All-around ranking 1.Annika Sorenstam . . . . . . . . . . . 737 2.Karrie Webb . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 588 3.Rosie Jones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 529 4.Lorie Kane . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 500 4.Se Ri Pak . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 500 — Golfweek LPGA Tour top statistical leaders TV SCHEDULE All times ET PGA Tour:World Golf Champi- onships NEC Invitational Thursday and Friday, 2 to 6 p.m., USA Saturday, 3 to 6 p.m., CBS Sunday, 2 to 6 p.m., CBS PGA Tour:Reno-Tahoe Open Thursday through Sunday, 8 to 10:30 p.m.,The Golf Channel LPGA Tour:Betsy King Classic Friday through Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m.,TGC LAST WEEK’S QUESTION What is your favorite amateur event? T he U.S. Amateur Champi- onship is being played now through Sunday at Atlanta’s East Lake Country Club, a course that ranks as one of Bryce Molder’s favorites. This year,however,Molder,was not in the starting field. The four-time U.S. Am- ateur participant and two-time quarterfi- nalist turned professional after the Walker Cup on Aug. 11-12 at Ocean Forest Golf Club in Sea Island, Ga. Also not playing at East Lake is Luke Donald. The Englishman, who just com- pleted his outstanding college career at Northwestern University,also turned pro- fessional after the Walker Cup. Like Molder, a four-time, first-team All-American at Georgia Tech, Donald will make his pro debut Thursday at the PGA Tour’s Reno-Tahoe Open, where he has a sponsor exemption. “I just feel I am ready to move on physically, mentally and emotionally,”Molder said. “The U.S. Amateur is a won- derful event and playing at East Lake would make it even more spe- cial. I know I will miss it, but my heart is not into this year’s championship. So I decided it is time to move on.” Dan Snider, head professional at Chenal Country Club in Little Rock, Ark., and Molder’s swing coach, agrees. “We’ve talked about it (time to turn pro) quite a bit. He only gets seven oppor- tunities (PGA Tour sponsor exemptions in 2001), and we both felt he needed to get started as quickly as possible. It would have been an easy decision for him if (the U.S. Amateur) was not being played in Atlanta. But both of us felt it was time.” Aside from the Reno-Tahoe Open, Molder also has received sponsor exemptions into the Air Canada Championship (Aug. 30 - Sept. 2), the Bell Canadian Open (Sept. 6 - 9) and the Texas Open (Sept. 27 - 30). Molder, who tied for 30th and was low amateur at this year’s U.S. Open, often played at East Lake during his four years at Georgia Tech. He holds the course record — an 8-under 64 shot at U.S. Open sectional qualifying earlier this summer. Molder set the NCAA single-season (69.43) and career stroke-average record (70.69) as a senior at Georgia Tech. Twice he was named Golfweek’s Division I Na- tional Collegiate Player of the Year. Mold- er signed Aug. 13 with Gaylord Sports Management of Scottsdale, Ariz., to rep- resent him. Donald has known for some time that the Walker Cup would be his last event as an amateur. “I wanted to play in one more Walker Cup,” said Donald, who won the 1999 NCAA Championship. Donald helped lead the Great Britain and Ireland team to a 15-9 victory in 1999 at Nairn Golf Club in Scotland then fol- lowed it up with another 15-9 victory this year in Sea Island,Ga. Donald’s record is 7-1 during that stretch. Now, Donald plans to remain in the United States. In addition to Reno, he said he has an exemption the following week for the Air Canada Championship and af- ter that “there are a few others looking very good,but I’ll just have to wait and see.” Donald signed Aug. 14 with Cleve- land-based IMG to represent him. Don- ald, 23, from High Wycombe, England, graduated from Northwestern with a de- gree in art theory and practice, and as a Wildcat won 13 college tournaments. He also won the 2000 and 2001 Northeast Amateur and the 2000 Chicago Open. “It was great for me to come here (U.S.) and play college golf,” Donald said. “It helped me mature and become a much better all-around player. But I think what I really learned the most in America was how to win.” He hopes that will continue — only this time at the next level of competition in the pro ranks.

Kuehne, 29, who opted for the business world a few years back after a strong amateur career, hinted that under the right circum- stances, he, too, might try to qualify for the PGA Tour. “I’m taking golf a lot more seriously,” Kuehne said. “Right now my goal is to become the best mid-amateur in the world. I’ve got a long way to go, but it’s getting better. I’ve been practicing every day for the first time in forever.” Kuehne said that changes to U.S. Golf Association rules, which in 2002 will allow players to enter profes- sional qualifying tournaments without jeopardizing their amateur status, could make a foray into pro golf enticing. But only if his game takes a quantum leap forward. “If I don’t think I can go out there and be competi- tive, then I’m not going to do it,” he said. “It’s not worth it. I haven’t even been beating anybody in amateur golf. It’s flattering that everybody’s making a big deal about me playing golf, but I haven’t beaten anybody. It’s been bothering me, and that’s one of the reasons I decided to begin working at it again.” Q-SCHOOL DANCE? The deadline for PGA Tour Qualifying School ap- plications still is a few weeks away, but the Forecaddie has heard rumblings from inside sources that 17-year-old am- ateur Ty Tryon , a high school junior from Orlando, Fla., is considering plunking down $4,000 to give the Q-School a whirl. The U.S. Golf Association’s rule allowing players to try Q-School yet still maintain their amateur status does not go into effect until 2002. Nonetheless, securing a Tour card would allow Tryon the freedom to schedule a limited number of events during the school year as he works toward a high school diploma. Tryon, who made the cut at the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic and B.C. Open this year, already has become acquainted with folks from IMG, and surely there would be potential endorsers intrigued by all the atten- tion a 17-year-old with a Tour card would receive. TAP-INS AND LIP-OUTS The Forecaddie can’t remember the last time he was as excited as the morning of Aug. 9, when he viewed pro-am starting times for the Wendy’s Championship for Chil- dren in the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. Right there, going off at 7:40 a.m., was Louise Suggs,the 77-year-old LPGA Hall of Famer. One problem: The listing should have said LaRee Sugg. Oh well. ... Laura Diaz,who alters her shorts to show a bit more leg,isn’t shy about voicing her opinion on im- proving the marketability of the LPGA. “We should market sex. Sex sells,”she told the Dispatch. “I don’t care how we get people to watch us,just so long as they watch. We need to grab the people we can’t get any other way,and that’s sex.”... The Telegraph, a British tabloid, caused bit of a stir at the Walker Cup. It erroneously re- ported before the matches that U.S. player Erik Compton, who received a heart trans- plant at age 12, “probably” has a British heart. In fact, he received his heart from an American teen-age girl who had died in a car accident in Tampa, Fla.
