6 EDITORIAL THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 2012 The Easter story From the desk of the late Hartley Coles Following the horrific events of the first Good Friday, when Jesus was crucified and laid in a tomb, His followers were grief stricken and confused about what to do. Here's how John and Luke described the final events of that first Holy Week. Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes. But Mary Magdalene stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" she said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, "Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and she told them that he had said these things to her. People, What Are You Thinking I cannot believe the car/van/ SUV drivers around the north end of MSB School. When will the MTO decide to have all drivers renew their driving skills as well as a written exam? It is clear that people do not understand "No parking sign" or "No stopping signs." Use of cell phones is against the law. When is it ok to take pictures of vehicles going in the opposite direction while you are driving, not stopped on the edge of the road, your vehicle was moving? How does it make sense to take pictures while you are stopped in the traffic lane blocking traffic? There are complaints about this area being unsafe for buses, but do you not think that pulling stunts like this are more hazardous than the bus drivers doing their job? If cars would not park on the wrong side of the road to let their children out, parents would not let their children out into traffic, use the neighbourhood driveways and then back into traffic, then I am sure there would not be the congestion on this stretch of road. I understand that parents want to keep their children safe, but what are you teaching them when you are breaking the law? It may be a good idea for you to park your vehicle away from the school and walk a few blocks, look at the exercise and fresh air you would get. The buses have been travelling on this road probably longer than most of you have lived in this town, it is not a new concept. My children attended MSB, they walked. Kudos to Robert Little School staff and parents for working together to keep traffic flowing. Excellent work at St Joseph Catholic School. It is great to see the support for the bus drivers and how you are managing the traffic with your staff.
