Earthquake shakes Conestoga On Friday, Jan. 31, the K-W area experienced its strongest earthquake since March 1943. The quake, centered under Lake Erie, about 50 kilometers northeast of Cleveland, Ohio, measured between 5 and 5.5 on the Richter scale and lasted from 5 to 15 seconds. The 1943 earthquake measured 4.5 on the Richter scale.

The tremor was felt across southern Ontario and in nine northeastern U.S. states.

Ingrid Gertz, a member of the Doon campus cafeteria staff, said she felt nothing. Dave Worsley, a law and security student, was on the fourth floor at the time of the quake. He said, “I felt as if I was going to slip because the floor was moving.” Worsley also said the instructor ordered the students out of the classroom during the

tremor.

Although the earthquake caused no damage in this area.

there were reports of dishes

and windows

rattling.

The K-W Record reported that in the U.S. the tremor set an alarm at an unfinished nuclear power plant in Ohio, cracked a building in Pennsylvania and knocked out a hydro off

generator near Cleveland. Seismologists predict aftershocks within the next two months, but claim these will be so insignificant they will probably not be noticeable.

Look out Disneyland Can you name the most popular theme park in North America-after Disneyland and Disney World. If you said Heritage USA, a 2,500 acre Christian Disneyland in North Carolina, courtesy of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker of the PTL Club, then you’ve guessed correctly. In this Christian community, financed largely by donations, you can walk down Main Street USA and buy designer jeans, expensive jewellry and, naturally, PTL recordings. (All this according to a Jan. 25 Toronto Star article.) As well, in this theme park you can stay at a luxury pink hotel financed by families who donated $1,000 each. In return they each receive four days and three nights free accomodation at the Heritage Grand Hotel each year for the rest of their

lives. In fact, the first hotel

has been such a success, the Star said, a second hotel with 500 rooms is planned. This one is funded by $3,000 donations from 7,000 people. Each is guaranteed 9 room for a week each year for the rest of their lives. Now one can’t dispute the PTL Club’s obvious large following. However, the fact that the Bakker’s take in an estimated $90,000 per year and own two homes, one in Heritage Village and a $449,000 two-bedroom home in Palm Springs, plus a Mercedes Benz and a Rolls Royce, does spoil the Christian aspect of the whole thing for me. Part of the problem with the PTL Club is that it is a network-a company. These people have made a business out of the Bible. At Heritage USA, with its 2,600 employees and a bi-weekly payroll of $ 1.2 million, you can see recreated the room where Jesus ate The Last Supper. Plans for expansion include electronic Bible scenes for the viewing public. It’s one thing to teach people about the Bible, and fine, entertain them at the same time, but even electronics as impressive as Disney’s verge on being tacky in this case. I get a little worried when I read accounts about the business of religion. Rumors of money-hungry TV evangelists were just that, I hoped. Jim and Tammy Faye may have

Curtis’s idea to get rid of the bodies. In the courtroom the lawyer demonstrated how the gun went off: “He held the lever loosely, pulled the trigger-and the gun fired. There was loose play in the spring-loaded safety

on the testimony of Franz. In the courtroom Curtis maintained Franz lied throughout his testimony. On April 22, 1983, the judge imposed the maximum sentence on Curtis-20 years, with no parole for 10 -the same sentence Franz had received for

an annual event which offers Conestoga College students a chance to perform live for fellow stuis

The entertainers ranged from a band who had been together only one week to those with obvious stage experience. Participants were entered in one of three categories: solo

keyboardist, a drum soloist and a singer. First place went to Dan Driedger, a third-year business student. He performed three songs, one an original composition entitled “I’m Quitting

Drinking Forever.” Second place went to Charles (Chuck) Weiss. He performed his original tune “One on One.” They received prizes of $75

and $50 respectively. In the group division the music varied from folk to hard rock and roll. First place went to Atreideis, of which business student Darrin
