MARKHAM OLYMPIANS KEPT OFF PODIUM Summer Games wrap up this weekend in London BY MIKE HAYAKAWA
mhyakawa@yrmg.com
For Markham athletes who made their competitive debuts at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, their participation represented a big part of the learning curve in their quest to some day reach the medal podium. While no medals were attained, their baptism on the world stage set the stage for what is hoped to be far greater success when the 2016 Olympics take place in Brazil. In the men’s 100 metres, Justyn Warner, 24, tied his personal best time of 10.09 seconds. However, for the Canadian men’s 100m champion, it wasn’t good enough to enable him to advance to the final after finishing fifth in his semifinal race Sunday. Warner, who attended Middlefield Collegiate and Birchmount Park during his high school days, felt his start proved to be his downfall. “It was crazy. I didn’t get a good start and tried to fight my way through it,” he said in a media release issued by the Canadian Olympic Committee. Entering the race, Warner predicted he would require a time of under 10 seconds to reach the final, which was ultimately won by Usain Bolt of Jamaica in a record time of 9.63 seconds. “I’m trying not to beat myself up too much about it — two personal bests at the See WARNER, page 12.

More public meetings are planned to ensure residents have ample opportunity to provide input on the building’s design and community access. Literally thousands of people in Markham and the rest of the GTA are excited and supportive of the project, Mr. Roustan said. “Markham is a thriving city that needs, and can support, the largest premier venue for community events, concerts and major sporting events in Ontario.” Markham council approved the proposal and financial framework for the sports, entertainment and cultural centre April 26. The company hopes to start construction this fall, with plans to open the facility in late 2014.

THRILL THE
GRILL
When it comes to choosing between propane and charcoal, there are many points to consider.
A summer series on the art of barbecuing

Decision matter of personal preference By Chris Traber
ctraber@yrmg.com
Charcoal versus propane. When it comes to grilling, you have to bring the heat. And that’s where the battle between barbecue aficionados begins. “In the competitive barbecue community, gas is cheating,” Big Grill Catering owner Kevin Finch said bluntly as he stoked a pile of coal briquettes flamed by aromatic apple wood chunks. “Convenience is what people are accustomed to, it’s what sells and unless you really like to cook,

people won’t venture into the charcoal realm,” Mason Place Fireplace and BBQ Centre salesperson Alki Bassakyros countered. Thornhill’s Mr. Finch who, with wife Naomi, cater barbecue events with a massive custom-built grill
hauled on a trailer and East Gwillimbury’s Mr. Bassakyros, who has been with Mason Place in Keswick for six years, had a cordial showdown, debating the benefits of grilling heat sources. Both men agree they love to

grill, gas is an extremely handy and adjustable heat source and with a flick of the off switch and quick brushing of the grate, you’re done. They concur, too, while charcoal grills are generally less expensive than gas units, they take time to heat, don’t burn as clean as gas, briquettes need to be stocked, ash needs to be collected and grills need to be cleaned. They know gas grills outsell charcoal three to one and a 20-pound propane tank costs $18 and lasts 16 hours at high temperatures, while the same volume of slightly more expensive charcoal will burn much longer. There are pros and cons for both heat sources, but the entire matter boils down to esthetics and flavour, they said. A gas grill will impart searing heat, caramelizing the exterior of the meat and cooking the interior, Mr. Bassakyros said. If your culinary bent is a tad more developed, charcoal offers more options. Hardwood charcoal, burning lower and slower, infuses the food with natural pungency, Mr. Finch said. By using hickory, apple or mesquite woods, the subtle heat allows chefs to add varying tang, taste and tone to the dish.
4To watch a video of the debate, visit bit.ly/O3iWri
Big Grill uses Ontario apple wood exclusively for the sweet flavour it produces. For large cookouts, wood pellets formed from sawdust and binding material are used in smokers and grills. Charcoal is making a comeback, Mr. Bassakyros admits, adding his Big Green Egg ceramic cooker is a hot seller. “People realize they can experiment with charcoal and woods,” he said. Grillers should only use coals and woods designated for the purpose, both men caution. That means avoiding pine, cedar and pressure-treated or painted wood. The feud ended in a friendly stalemate. Gas is convenient and consistent, Mr. Bassakyros asserted. Charcoal’s heat and smoke serve up tender and traditional cuisine, Mr. Finch countered. “One is not better than the other, just different,” Mr. Bassakyros said. “Do what I do and use both.”

Construction of Ray Street Park is only the first step in addressing South Unionville’s park deficiency, say residents. Construction of the park is set to start in the coming weeks and will include plenty of trees, playground area, mini skate park, outdoor exercise area, grass lawns, basketball court and a meadow all connected by pathways lined with trees. But this has been a struggle for local residents dating back several years. Many residents feel South Unionville is lacking in park space, especially considering the number of growing developments and future population, founder and president of the South Unionville Resident Forum, Tom Han said. And the worry comes when there are so many developers in the area and then designated park land ends up in the wrong hands, Mr. Han said. “Ray Street Park is already defined as a park,” he said. “We’re not worried about that. That is 10-per-cent certain. We’re worried these lands will become private.” The resident forum is petitioning the City of Markham to not allow rezoning to accommodate
future developments and instead allocate lands for park space. “Everyone knows why parks are important,” Mr. Han said. “Firsttime homeowners move in and find out their kids have nowhere to play.” Currently in the South Unionville area, there are several mico parks, a soccer field and a spray water pad. Mr. Han counted about 90 soccer fields within the city with an average of about 3,000 users per field. In South Unionville, that number jumps to about 9,000 for the one field, he said. But Ward 3 Councillor Don Hamilton assures local residents the city is trying to lessen the park deficiency gap. “Right now, these residents don’t have what they should have,” he said. “There is a park deficiency, but there will be enough park space once it is all allocated.” The city accelerated the Ray Street Park process, knowing it is important to the community, Mr. Hamilton added. “There are a lot of newcomers and new families in this area,” he said. “They don’t have cottages or go on expensive vacations. But they want somewhere to go kick around a ball or go for a picnic in their neighbourhood. They don’t ask for

an agreement is expected in the fall, Mr. Hamilton said. But members of the resident forum worry about the city’s practice of accepting cash-in-lieu of park space.
That is common in higher density areas, Mr. Hamilton said. To sign the petition, visit ipetitions.com/ petition/suca_parks

Hope grows for autism help
For parents of autistic children in York Region, there are many reasons to take heart and not fear for the future. Against the frustrating backdrop of long waitlists for government-funded therapies with desperate families waiting for two or four years for help for their autistic child — some going bankrupt to fund services privately — there are glimmers of hope. Markham’s South Asian Autism Awareness Centre recently celebrated $90,000 in Trillium funding, allowing it to expand programing to more York Region families. Money promised last fall is now bearing fruit. Free language, speech and art therapy can be provided to often non-verbal autistic youth, as well as education and awareness sessions for parents, expanding the centre’s service to 30 additional families in York. By September, 100 families in York and Toronto will see help from the South Asian autism organization (saaac.org). Yes, that’s a drop in the bucket, when some 1,500 Ontario children and their frustrated families wait for therapy to boost simple skills such as toilet training for young children and day-to-day school skills for older ones. But for those families, help is a godsend. In Richmond Hill, help is also com-
ing in the form of a new Breakthrough Autism Academy, a centre opening in September on Sixteenth Avenue offering programs for children with autism. The centre will offer 15 to 40 hours a week of specialized programming for autistic children, helping with reading, math skills and socializing. While the programs aren’t free, they will provide more options for parents of autistic children and there is assistance for low-income families (breakthroughautism.ca). As one autistic Richmond Hill boy has proven, when parents and caregivers tap into technology to help boost development, the sky is the limit. When Jordan Hilkowitz was 5, he was non verbal and prone to physical outbursts. With the encouragement of a remarkable babysitter who helped him demonstrate scientific abilities and showcase them on YouTube, he’s become Doctor Mad Science. Now 10, he’s a verbal, engaging young scientist who is inspiring a whole generation of autistic children and their thrilled parents (http://www.yorkregion.com/ news/article/1398588--lab-inspiresautistic-richmond-hill-boy). Social media and technology represent new hope to non-verbal children and therapists who want to help them.
Don’t measure success in medals alone
I
love how the Olympics remind us of how proud we are to be Canadian and how much we have in common. Our hearts burst with collective pride when York Region’s own Rosie MacLennan stepped up on to the top podium to lay claim to our nation’s first gold medal of the London Games. Fists pumped in unison when Olympic bronze medallist Derek Drouin claimed the title as our nation’s first high jump medallist since 1976. I literally heard the shared jubilation as shouts echoed from homes across my neighbourhood every time our women’s soccer team took the lead in the neck-in-neck game against the United States team Monday. Then there was the crushing silence when they lost their bid for gold in a heart-breaking overtime loss. And we all bent our heads, first in consolation for dreams dashed, then lifted them high in admiration for Paula Findlay, who finished last in the women’s triathlon, battling the excruciating pain of a hip injury to
Debora Kelly cross the finish line. In typical Canadian fashion, her first words in the face of her own agonizing disappointment were an apology: “I just want to apologize. I’m really sorry to everybody, to Canada.” But in Canada, she is no less a hero than our athletes who have achieved the incredible feat of winning a medal that ranks them among the best athletes in the world. She may even be more of an Olympic hero to some. In Canada, where our heritage is steeped in the hewing of wood and
drawing of water, where the winters are long, cold and hard — I think so, anyway — and the coffee is from Tim Hortons, it’s all about grit and hard-scrabble determination; about giving your all. It’s about greatness, not only in achieving but in spirit; in believing in a dream, then striving to make it a reality no matter the odds. Those distracted by bright, shiny medals might say our Canadian Olympic spirit that values the competition — the act of trying your very best — more than the medals is simply sour grapes or a consolation prize for losers. But most of us know medals are not what make a country great. (The exception being Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois, who reacted to the fact the first four of Canada’s medals were won by athletes from Quebec by pointing out an independent Quebec would shine on a world stage.) Sadly, there are those who think our international reputation — if not their own armchair podium validation — rests on our medal count. They like to write letters to the editors and post anonymous com-
ments on websites every four years, when they jump on the opportunity to criticize our country because we don’t take our six-year-olds away from their families and banish them to gruelling athletic training camps until they are teenagers. In Canada, bless our athletes’ hearts, it takes real sacrifice and true grit — and the support of generous family and sponsors — to even come close to following an Olympic dream. In China, only gold medals are celebrated, which is sad. It’s one of the things during these Olympic Games — two and three being Rosie MacLennan and Paula Findlay — that has made me feel proud to be a Canadian. Although I don’t need the Olympics to make me a proud Canadian. While winning medals is a phenomenal achievement we celebrate — and, yes, lots of medals makes the party even better — most of us are comfortable enough with who we are as a nation to simply enjoy the Olympics for their true spirit of competition and display of unparalleled athleticism. (Wow, Michael Phelps.) Go, Canada, go — keep giving it your all.

Markham energy project set for launch If you own a home or business with L3P postal code, you can participate in the new community energy conservation project. Enbridge Gas Distribution, together with the City of Markham, launched the program where business or homeowners in the specific postal code area can receive more than $3,000 in energy efficiency incentives. The program’s focus is making it easier for consumers to improve energy efficiency, lower energy bills and reduce a home’s impact on the environment. Enbridge will put $150 toward the cost of an energy evaluation that appraises a home’s current energy use and reveal areas where energy improvements can be made, which will result in further cost savings in the future. Homeowners have to complete
two qualified retrofit measures such as creating a high efficiency space, water heating upgrades, or sealing an attic or basement with insulation upgrades. Upon completion, homeowners can receive an additional $1,100. Markham was selected for the project because of the community’s strong commitment to green sustainability priorities outlined in its Greenprint plan, which puts the city on the path to becoming one of the most sustainable communities in North America. The plan set an aggressive target of net zero energy by 2050, Mayor Frank Scarpitti said. “To achieve this, the Markham community will need to work together to become much more energy efficient and great initiatives like this will help us reach our goal,” he said.
This specific area was selected because most of the homes are between 16 to 35 years old and are typically less energy efficient than new homes. This specific area was selected because most of the homes are between 16 to 35 years old and are typically less energy efficient than new homes. Heating, cooling, insulation and ventilation systems have come a long way in the past 15 years. The program also includes other incentives, such as special discounts energy-efficient products such as high-efficiency fur-
naces and low-flow toilets. Homeowners will also have access to exclusive low-rate loans through the program’s partners as well as use of expert energy efficiency advice. So far, Enbridge’s other energy efficiency programs have saved more than 6 billion cubic metres of natural gas. That’s enough to supply close to 2 million homes for a year. Energy efficiency programs have also averted about 11.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, equivalent of taking about 2.2 million cars off the road for a year.

Investigators appear to be putting a dent in a major staged crash operation. The Insurance Bureau of Canada launched an investigation a year ago into nine staged collisions in the region. Following the collisions, fraudulent insurance claims worth about $500,000 were filed, police said. In March, major fraud unit investigators launched Project Sideswipe to arrest and charge the estimated 66 suspects involved in the nine collisions. As of this month, police have made 46 arrests and laid 142 charges, including conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, fraud under $5,000, fraud over $5,000 and obstruct police. More details about the investigation are to be announced during a news conference in Aurora today.
Police deliver baby Three York Regional Police officers got more than they bargained for when they answered a distress call in Markham Friday. Consts. Graham Leibold, Matthew D’Sousa and Matthew Negrazia were called to a basement apartment on Coppard Avenue in the McCowan Road and Denison Street area and found a pregnant woman lying on the floor with her mother by her side. The officers realized the woman was in labour. Consts. Leibold and Negrazia supported the woman while Const. D’Sousa helped deliver the baby before paramedics arrived on the scene. The woman and her baby were taken to hospital and have returned home since.

Warner brothers still have shot at medals in relay race From page 1.
Olympic Games. I knew I had to get under 10 seconds to move on to the finals.” Warner though, will still have a chance to reach the medal podium as he’s part of Canada’s men’s 4 x
100m relay team, that includes his younger brother Ian. The first round of heats is scheduled for tomorrow. In the women’s 400m hurdles, Sarah Wells qualified for the semifinals after finishing fourth in her heat Sunday with a time of 56.47. However, in Monday’s semifinal, the 22-year-old Unionville
High School graduate finished eighth with a time of 56.71 and was eliminated. Despite not advancing, Wells was thankful just to be a part of the Olympic experience and remained optimistic bigger and better things are in store for her down the road. “Thanks to everyone for all the support and messages. I thought I
was a lucky girl before, but now I feel like the luckiest,” she said on her Twitter page. “So my Olympic competition has ended. The time could be better, but I learned a lot and am ready for big things next year.” Making his debut in the 200m, Tremaine Harris finished fifth in his heat with a time of 20.70 Tuesday. The former Bur Oak Secondary School and Markham District High School student, who was one of five late additions by Athletics Canada to the Olympic team, failed to advance to the semifinals as the top three in each of the heats qualified. Like Wells, though, Harris remained optimistic about the future for the Canadian track team. “I truly believe our potential 2016 team has the talent to be Canada’s greatest Olympic team of all time,” he said on his Twitter page. Phylicia George also established a personal best in the women’s 100m hurdles after being clocked in 12.65 seconds in Tuesday’s final. However, it only netted her a sixth-place finish in a race won by Sally Pearson of Australia in an Olympic record-setting time of 12.35 seconds. The 24-year-old Markham native, who attended Father Michael McGivney Catholic Academy, finished second in her heat Monday and advanced to Tuesday’s semifinal where she finished third in the third heat, clocking 12.65. With the top two finishers in each of the three heats earning automatic entry into the final, George had to await her fate to see if her time was fast enough to give her one of two added berths in the final. Turned out it did. As for her race in the finals, George felt a bad start hurt her chances. “Stumble at the beginning of the race. But I worked my butt off to stay in the race,” she said on her Twitter account.
Despite her placing, George is optimistic about the future. “My first Olympics and a sixthplace finish with a personal best. Blessed. The competitor in me is never satisfied, but I feel so blessed. I have so much more in me. This is just the beginning. Great things to come,” she wrote. On the badminton court, Michelle Li had an opportunity to bring home the bronze medal along with her women’s doubles’ partner Alexandra Bruce of Toronto when the Canadian pair were given a reprieve after four teams favoured to medal were disqualified for match fixing. Facing a Russian tandem of Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova for the bronze, Li, 21, and Bruce, 22, fell 21-10, 21-9 and settled for a fourth-place finish. In earlier group play, Li and Bruce fell to the Russian pair 21-8, 21-10. With Li and Bruce reaching the medal round, it marked the first time a Canadian women’s team had advanced that far. “This whole tournament has been a roller coaster for me,” acknowledged Li, who attended Richmond Hill High School and trains at Lee’s Badminton Academy in Markham. “We had really hard draws and lost our games which was a low, but then we had an opportunity again and we took advantage of it so that was such a high. We fought for every point but just didn’t have it today.” Li and Bruce will now go their separate ways to further their studies. Li will be going to the University of Toronto and Bruce to the University of Western Ontario. As Canada’s top-ranked women’s player and the gold medallist at the 2011 Pan American Games, Li also competed in the women’s individual competition and was eliminated in her first-round match. Currently ranked as the 22nd best player in the world, Li is expected to continue her pursuit in singles’ play.
Justyn (left) and Ian Warner will compete in the 4 x100 metre relay race tomorrow at the 2010 Summer Olympics in London.

Warner, 24, tied his best time of 10.09 seconds to finish fifth in his semifinal Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to advance to the final. He also ran 10.09 in the heats to reach the semis.

Switch from soccer paying off for rugby star BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA
mhayakawa@yrmg.com
During her days as a soccer player, Alana Pescador played with a high degree of aggression. While the Stouffville resident’s style of play tended to draw the ire of the game officials, who at times issued her a yellow card, it wasn’t a concern with the officials when she played rugby. In fact, the 16-year-old’s penchant for taking a physical approach on the rugby pitch turned out to be her niche.
Olympic rules It also caught the attention of the coaching staff for the Toronto Region’s two 12-member teams when they selected their players for the Ontario Summer Games at York University in Toronto Aug. 17 and 18. They picked Pescador. “I am honoured to be chosen as one of the athletes to represent Toronto in the Summer Games,” she said. Entering Grade 11 next month at Bill Crothers Secondary School in Unionville, she played for the school team along with being a member of the under-16 Ontario Junior Storm provincial team and Markham Irish Canadian Rugby Club’s under-18 women’s team in which she plays fly half. She was encouraged to try out for the Ontario Summer Games by her high school coaches, Nicole Gillis and Jenna Harild. Attending one of four tryouts held around the GTA, at Durham College in Oshawa in late January, Pescador recalled being one of close to 35 players who showed up.
What Pescador accomplished at that camp caught the attention of the head coaches, who subsequently invited her in March to attend the second round of auditions. After going to that camp a couple of weeks later, she received another e-mail from the coaches inviting her to the third round of tryouts that would take place in May. It was here where Pescador said they retained 30 players, who were then asked to attend a training camp July 17 and 18 for gruelling twice-daily sessions. At this point, the coaches selected which players would be on the active and reserve rosters. Pescador had made the final cut. “I tried my best to be as confident with myself as possible because 90 per cent of the way you perform is in your head,” she said. “The girls I was trying out with were very good and I knew it was going to be difficult, but I put 100 per cent of my effort into it and it ended up paying off.” While eagerly awaiting to make her debut at the games next week, Pescador said she’s just as excited to play a game that will incorporate a seven-aside format. This, she said, is far different from the 15s’ version she’s accustomed to playing at the high school, provincial and club levels. The sevens’ version will be the same game to be employed when the sport is introduced at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. “I am definitely nervous because sevens rugby is such a new game to me, but I’m excited as well,” she said. Introduced to the game when she was in Grade 9 at Crothers after opting to attend

a couple of practices rather than play for the senior girls’ soccer team, Pescador said the opportunity to compete at the Ontario Summer Games is the highlight thus far to her budding rugby career.
college dreams “It will definitely be one of the highlights of my playing career,” she said. “Touring Alberta (with the under-16 provincial team) was amazing, but I feel that the Summer Games is going to be a brand new and exciting experience.” Pescador hopes an opportunity exists where she can parlay her skills at the collegiate level. “For now though, I am taking it one step at a time. I don’t really know where it could bring me,” she said.

York Shootings A timeline of recent incidents of gun violence in York Region. 4Jan. 28, 2011: Arash Elijah Bakhtaryani, 27, of Toronto is shot to death outside the Paradise Banquet Hall, near Hwy. 7 and Jane Street in Vaughan. He was attending a stag party and was targeted, according to York Regional Police. A 31-year-old Richmond Hill man was charged with murder. 4July 22, 2011: A York Region police officer and a suspect are shot during an apparent armed robbery at a strip mall in Aurora.The 40-year-old officer was shot after three armed men tried to rob a Bell store at Aurora Road and Hwy. 404.

violence to how to crack down on people who use guns in populated areas have been front and centre in the public consciousness. While York Region’s gun violence experience does not mirror that of Toronto, guns and people who carry and use them are on the radar of police and community leaders here. The province responded to the gun violence by promising permanent funding for the provincial anti-violence intervention strategy, which aims to stamp out guns and gangs. In 2011, Ontario announced $1.4 million worth of PAVIS funding over two years for York Regional Police as part of $15 million in funding for police forces across the province. PAVIS is modelled on the Toronto anti-violence intervention strategy, launched in 2006 in the aftermath of the city’s so-called “year of the gun” in 2005. In York, police have typically approached the region’s guns and gang challenges differently than those in Toronto. The major focus here has been on crime prevention, rather than responding to gang issues. York Regional Police maintains there isn’t the same type of hardcore gang activity as is seen in other parts of Canada. Among other prevention initiatives, York police has put officers in the region’s schools and run pro-
grams for youths at its Community Safety Village in WhitchurchStouffville. It is all in the name of reaching young people before they are approached by people who would lead them down a twisted path of gun possession and involvement in gangs, York police Deputy Chief Bruce Herridge said. It’s easy to measure the number of arrests made every year or the number of handguns seized, but quantifying the number of young people discouraged from picking up a weapon and dealing drugs for some fast cash is a little harder, the deputy chief noted. However, that doesn’t mean York police goes soft on people with long histories of gang involvement, he stressed. While there are handguns in York Region — 70 have been seized by York police so far this year, according to the deputy chief — the vast majority of them are not used in criminal activity, he said. Gun violence, as seen in Toronto recently, will, from time to time, filter into York, he said, but York Regional Police is prepared to meet it head-on. In affirming the government’s support for the PAVIS/TAVIS program July 23, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Ontario families have the right to feel safe and be safe in all our communities. “We need a serious plan that includes strong policing and strong social supports,” he said. “We need to do both. We need that balance. And we all have a responsibility to make that happen.” Meanwhile, at the federal level, Richmond Hill Senator Don Meredith argued urban gun violence can often be directly tied to poverty and a lack of jobs.
York Regional Police aim to prevent gun violence by engaging youths before they are approached by people who would lead them into crime.
STAFF ILLUSTRATION/ MIKE BARRETT
“The community needs to feel engaged,” said Mr. Meredith, a pastor at the Pentecostal Praise Centre in Maple and a Richmond Hill resident. Youths are the most at risk for gang involvement, he said, and a discussion about gang activity needs to be held in York Region. “It’s an occupation that has a short life expectancy,” he said of gang life. But the senator, an anti-crime advocate and co-founder of the GTA Faith Alliance, who has served on several police advisory and liaison committees, said the solutions aren’t as simple as putting more police on the streets.
“We can put a million cops on the streets,” he said. “We can’t make someone act responsibly.” Communities can take a preventive lead on gun violence by building resident-friendly neighbourhoods, he said. “We need to begin urban people planning,” he said. Effectively dealing with gun violence is a complex proposition and will need to involve community pillars such as faith organizations, parental involvement, mentoring and affordable access to community programs, Mr. Meredith said. “It’s going to take all of us to do that.”
GO FOR THE GOLD It’s the Games and we excitedly watch our Canadian athletes, cheering them on in the hopes that they’ll win medals. Interestingly, some sporting events are mentioned in the Bible: racing, boxing, wrestling, weight lifting and archery are used to illustrate how to have a victorious life (I Cor.9:24-27; Heb.12:1,2) .
GRACE
Some other sports can be made to appear in Scripture by a bit of manipulation. Like baseball at Genesis 1:1 by read it as, “In the big inning.” Tennis could appear where it says that “Joseph served in Pharaoh’s court.” Golf, Jehu was renowned for his “driving.” GRACE ANGLICAN CHURCH 19 Parkway Ave., Markham

The games originated in Corinth Greece around 581 B.C. and continued until 393 A.D. when halted by the Roman Emperor Theodosius I. They were revived in 1896 by Pierre Coubertin and took place in the restored Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, originally built in 333 B.C. The original contestants were not representatives of their nations as today but came individually and at their own expense. Here we are 116 years later watching the XXX [30th] modern games.

In writing his first letter to the Corinthians the Apostle Paul used reference to the games to encourage Christians there to recognize that in athletic contests only one winner receives the gold, while in the Christian race of life we all can be winners. When we follow the guidelines of Scripture and pursue spiritual excellence we can expect to cross the finish line victoriously and hear our coach, the Lord Jesus, commend us with His “Well done! Enter into the joy of your reward.” - Paul Fawcett
