y » News TheReview Wednesday, April 4, 1990 — All * Impressive displays at science fair Students at Mt. Newton Middle School impressed numerous visi- tors and a bunch of judges last week during a science fair involv- ing students in all grades. A total of 193 students chose to have projects judged by a panel of 33 judges from community schools including Mt. Newton. Of the students who were judged, 57 displays were deemed outstanding and were rewarded with a trip to Science World in Vancouver. A total of 397 students entered projects. Most students began their pro- jects in Januray. For Grade 8 student Katherine Scott that meant looking after an array of small plants and in turn feeding them oil, vinegar, dye, detergent, coca cola and water — on a daily basis. Taro Gurney and Jan Kirkpa- trick spent five week designing and building a model of a hand — including how to simulate its intri- cate movements by using fishing line, elastic bands, string, wood and special model plastic. Lisa Murdock built a working hydro-electric dam complete with working turbines. Kelly Gallins tested people to determine if the color of a liquid refreshment influence the taster’s perception of sweetness. Jamie Witcombe built a working hovercraft model using an electric fan and pieces of plastic grocery bags. Gus Underwood built a working voleano, powered with hard-to- find dry ice. Taecher organizers Kathy Demchuk and Colin Collister arranged for displays from private business and government and said it was the best science fair the school has ever had. MODEL OF HAND was designed and built by Taro Gurney and lan Kirkpatrick, Grade 8 students at MT Newton Middle School, for the annual science fair. The hand is controlled by fishing line and was built with elastic bands, string, wood and special model plastic. GLENN WERKMAN photo _ Charges laid after fight with police What started as a report of vandalism in Central Saanich ended in downtown Sidney with a string of charges after several men apparently tried to prevent a lone RCMP officer from arresting their friend. About 4:45 p.m. March 26, several witnesses say they saw three men get out of two separate vehicles stopped in the left tum lane of the Pat Bay Highway at Mt. Newton Crossroad, Central Saa- = nich deputy police Chief George Lawson said. The men apparently ran across the highway to a car parked beside the southbound lane of the high- way. Witnesses saw the men smash the drivers’ side window, kick in the car’s quarter panel and beat on the vehicle with a baseball bat, Lawson said. An identification was made by one witness and Central Saanich police alerted other departments to be on the lookout for an 18-year- old Sidney man. About 6:30 p.m. Sidney RCMP Const. Stu Leach attempted to arrest a man in the parking lot of the Beacon Plaza Mall, over the Central Saanich police informa- tion. Police allege the man and sev- eral others in the parking lot resisted arrest and assaulted the policeman, Sidney RCMP Const. Brian Hodgkin said. Leach eventually got a man into the back of the police car as Const. George Garbutt arrived to help, police said. Garbutt arrested a 20-year-old Sidney man and a 20-year-old Vancouver man, Hodgkin said. A variety of charges including obstructing a police officer, dam- aging a police vehicle and assault- ing a police officer were laid against the three men and warrants were issued for the arrest of others police allege were involved.

THE BIBLE THE BOOK FOR TODAY We turn our news media on!! It is frightening, the world scene, the whole news casts presented are a hopeless situation. A na- tion like Argentina — a very beautiful country with great re- sources, is brought to the brink of financial disaster. Inflation is so high that the poor are hope- lessly lost. The country has reached the situation where looting and killing for food is what is happening. Parents des- perate to find food for their children. Then on the other side of the world once again a million poor are faced with famine in Ethiopia. In the case of the African country a war is creating a blockade 50 that relief is unable}: to get to the hungry. We have a right to ask, What is happening to our world? Surely after six thousand years it should be different! So people say, if there is a God, Why? The answer is right in the Bible. In 2 Timothy 3 Paul says — “In the last days perilous times shall come.” IT IS TRUE, ISN’T IT? “Men shall be lovers of their own selves covet- eous, without natural affection, fierce, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God”. In general we see the calamities the world faces as a result of the evil hearts of man, just as the Bible says. Yet, people continue to say IF THERE IS A GOD — WHY? The old testament pro- phets speak of a great one coming who has the power and authority given by God to change the situation. Read Isai- ah 11:1-4 it says that the spirit of God will rest upon this man. “The spirit of wisdom and unde- rstanding — he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes neither reprove after the hearing of his ears, But WITH RIGHTEOUS- NESS SHALL HE JUDGE THE POOR.” The Psalmist David wrote of this same man in Psalms 72:4 “He shall save the children of the needy and break in pieces the oppressor.” We have the testimony of the four gospels presenting the life of Jesus the Christ. He did just that — he fed the hungry, and he blessed the children, and he rebuked the self-righteous of his day. Just think of how wonderful it will be when Jesus does return and becomes the new world ruler. He will attend to the hungry in Argentina and Ethio- pia, yes, in ALL the world.
