New polices for employment service
organizaons at the Department of
Labour and Advanced Educaon (LEA)
will force the Watershed AssociaonDevelopment Enterprise (WADE) to
close its doors on July 1 2016 ending
the organizaonrsquos 36 years of serving the
communies of Cherry BrookLake Loon
Lake Major North Preston East Preston
and the Dartmouth African Nova Scoan
Community
According to WADE board member
Brenton Sparks the organizaonrsquosboard is pursuing mulple avenues to
keep the doors open ldquoAer 36 years
we know our communies beer than
anyonerdquo Sparks said ldquoWersquove wrien
leers to the Premier the Minister and
the Deputy Minister Wersquove held a press
conference Wersquore talking with an MLA
about introducing special legislaon to
keep our funding goingrdquo
WADErsquos troubles grew out of thefederal governmentrsquos 2009 decision to
turn employment services over to the
provinces Vicki Ellio-Lopez Execuve
Lead with Careers Nova Scoa led the
DLEArsquos eort to deal with what she
said was ldquoa patchwork system with no
standards in place and inequitable access
to service In some areas of the province
there were a number of organizaons
in other areas none And out of the
$23 million budget 53 was going
to administraon and infrastructure
to people not involved in direct client
service deliveryrdquo
Ellio-Lopez emphasized that the
decision to reorganize employment
services ldquowas never a cost-cung
exercise We wanted to insure that
money was directed to providing high
quality services in the right places with
equitable access to all services across
the provincerdquo
Ellio-Lopez said that the department
conducted extensive consultaons with
all 51 of the exisng groups including
a road show engaging a consulng rm
to do in-depth interviews and one-on-
one site visits The goal was to get the
groups in each of 18 regions to come
up with a plan where one organizaon
would be the ldquoagreement holderrdquo
organizaon administering that area
with the remaining groups developingpartnerships with the agreement
holding group Under this arrangement
there would be fewer administrave
personnel and more people delivering
front-line services
According to Sparks ldquoWhat Labour told
us was there were 3 areas within HRM
Halifax-Dartmouth Sackville and the
area including WADE Cole Harbour
Porters Lake and Sheet Harbour Cole
Harbour didnrsquot want to work with us
so we submied a proposal with WADEas the hub Musquodoboit Harbour as
the agreement holder and Porters Lake
as a satellite We thought that geng 3
of the 4 groups together would win the
contractrdquo
But DLEA rejected their proposal and
announced that the YMCA in Dartmouth
would be in charge of providing
employment services instead Sparkssays that WADE was stunned by this
development ldquoThe YMCA wasnrsquot even
in the group that we were talking withrdquo
In an interview on CTV Atlanc soon
aer the YMCA announcement Sparks
called DLEArsquos decision ldquoa clear aack
of systemic racism Wersquove been dealing
WADE Fights for Survival
By Richard Bell
with it for years and wersquove had enoughrdquo
In the same CTV Atlanc story DLEA
Minister Kelly Regan strongly rejected
Sparksrsquo accusaon claiming ldquoThat is not
accurate at all This is about providing
good services to Nova Scoans making
sure they get good quality services theydeserve and are entled tordquo
Sparks said that WADE is encouraging
people to stop by their oces to sign a
peon asking DLEA to connue funding
the group He said that the WADE board
was sll hopeful that DLEA would respond
to their appeal but that the board was
prepared to increase pressure on DLEA
as the July 1 deadline gets closer
According to the following statement
from DLEA all the other employment
agencies on the Eastern Shore were able
to negoate partnership agreements
with an agreement holder

With site selecon now

Halifax Regional School Board
District 1 member Bridget
Ann Boulier welcomed the
conclusion of the long site
selecon process The new
school will be built at the site of
Duncan MacMillan High School
Duncan MacMillan Moves Ahead Peon Filed to Replace ESDH
By Richard BellldquoWersquoll be geng the steering
commiee ready this yearrdquo
Boulier said ldquoand then people
can get down to the basics of
deciding what people want inthe new schoolrdquo
Eastern Shore District High
In a display of support for
replacing both ESDH and Gaetz
Brook the society Community
Campus Vision Associaon
(CCVA) submied a peon
in early May to the legislaturewith 1276 signatures gathered
from supermarkets and door-
to-door peoning The
peon calls on the provincial
government ldquoto immediately
replace Eastern Shore District
High School (ESDH) and Gaetz
Brook Junior High School (GBJH)
with a single modern facilityrdquo
The peon cites several major
concerns about the high schoolincluding aging infrastructure
and underfunded maintenance
outdated classroom
conguraons new housing
developments with more
children lack of potable water
polluon of coastal waters the
presence of asbestos and the
inadequacy of recent ldquoBand-
Aidrdquo cosmec changes at ESDH
Boulier said that the Board
was aware of how old the high
school was and had already
taken ocial acon to start the
replacement process ldquoESDH
is the oldest high school in the
Halifax Regional School Boardrdquo
Boutlier said She pointed that
in response to a request for
capital investments for the nextthree years from the provincial
Department of Educaon and
Early Childhood Educaon
(EECD) the Board voted on
March 30 2016 to include ESDH
on its list of 10 capital projects
But the Board hedged its bet
asking for funds for either a
ldquoNew School or Addion amp
Alteraonrdquo The Boardrsquos capitalprojects list did not include
Gaetz Brook Junior High School
Boulier explained that Board
had submied this eitheror
request for ESDH so that if the
EECD turns down replacing the
high school ldquothe Province can
sll do renovaons Right now
the decision is in the provincial
governmentrsquos hands to decidewhat they want to dordquo
MLA Murphy called for a new
high school in the summer of
2014 with his proposal for a
ldquocampusrdquo where he wanted
to move ESDH The Birches
nursing home and recreaonal
facilies to a shared site in the
Eastern Shore Industrial ParkCCVA is no longer wedded to
Murphyrsquos proposed Eastern
Shore Industrial Park locaon
but the organizaon remains
commied to the campus
concept with the school as
the cung-edge instuon
As CCVA society chair Jeanne
McKenna explained in a leer
to the Chronicle Herald onDecember 9 2015 CCVA had
ldquobeen advocang for a campus
facility to share services among
a seniorsrsquo home a juniorsenior
high school and a recreaon
facility The school replacement
issue is at the forefront of this
eortrdquo
As to what will happen next
Boulier cauoned against
expecng a quick provincial
decision on the Boardrsquos EHDS
recommendaon ldquoWersquove
voted on itrdquo she said ldquoand
thatrsquos where it stands The
Board is on the boom of the
totem pole The power is in the
federal government and theprovincial government Itrsquos not
something that might happen
today or tomorrowrdquo

Like a lot of Canadians Irsquom
geng completely fed up with
the Trump thing going on below
the border
This seemingly endless and
most oen mindless charade
grates on the very basics of what
reasonable public polical
debate The name calling and
insulng and moronic behaviour
by what is supposed to be
the best polical contenders
that America can oer for the
highest oce in their country
reects sadly on all that is good
in the American way
The sheer nasness at the
debates and the behind the
scenes dirty tricks would make
even dear old Richard ldquoI am

Thumbs Down on Dirty Tricks
By Wyn Jones
TrumpClinton bashing match
By comparison our federal
elecon last October was a
model of an elecon held in themost democrac circumstances
There were a few blows that
were a lile under the polical
belt but on the whole we
should be proud of the way the
whole process was conducted
by all the pares The televised
debates were sharp but well
within the boundaries of
acceptable debate behaviour
There have been elecons here
that have suered from the
inuence of the style imported
from the US These negave
elecons have invariably led
to the following parliamentary
sessions being lled with all the
reected and residual bierness
le over with a corresponding
inability to reach policalcompromise to get important
legislaon enacted
Professional polical operators
are all in favour of dirty tricks
They fully maintain that
such shenanigans work in a
candidatersquos favour And the pros
are right Such taccs can work
extremely well but only at thecost of throwing democrac
principles on the trash heap of
history
We have come to expect
nasness and morally
fraudulent behaviour in
elecons parcularly from our
immediate neighbour to the
south But right here at home
we are unfortunately seeing
how such methods can trickle
down to even the lower levels
of the polical spectrum like
the Halifax Regional Council
Halifax Regional Councillor
Linda Mosher has decided
to get down and dirty even
though local elecons are sll
some months away She is thelady who put in so much eort

The always fraught relaonship between the Provincial
Legislature and Halifax Regional Council has taken
a stunning turn for the worse in the latest twist in
the struggle over the cityrsquos relaonship with the
communies around the Oer Lake solid waste landll
site
In a move that took all but two city councillors and
council sta by surprise Timberlea-Prospect MLA Ian
Rankin introduced a private memberrsquos bill that sets
legal binding limits on the cityrsquos solid waste disposal
operaon at Oer Lake
Back in 1999 the city struck what the communies
around the Oer Lake waste disposal site were led tobelieve was a binding agreement on the total number
of waste disposal cells and the height of the waste to
be allowed on those cells Since then the cityrsquos eorts
to make various changes in its waste disposal policies in
the name of cost-savings have set o alarm bells The
Oer Lake communies interpreted the cityrsquos proposed
changes as potenal violaons of the agreement such
as increasing the height of the waste cells
The city councillor and MLA representave for the
Oer Lake area are a father and son team District 12
Councillor Reg Rankin and his son MLA Ian Rankin MLA
Rankin private memberrsquos bill Bill 176 the Oer Lake
Landll Act places legal limits on the total number of
cells and the height of those cells
The bill was headed for its 3rdreading and nal passage

Legislature Grabs Control of Halifax Landll Policy
By Richard Bell
reading on May 13th by voice vote)
ldquoWe got blindsidedrdquo Hendsbee said in an interview
ldquoThis bill is nothing but polical posturing by the local
city councillor and the local MLA [Reg Rankin and Ian
Rankin] A bill like this should have gone through the
Ministry of Environment with me for the cityrsquos sta
to study the potenal nancial impact MLA Rankin and
Councillor Rankin and Steve Adams knew about the bill
but they didnrsquot let us know I didnrsquot nd out about this
bill unl Saturday I canrsquot remember a bill that moved
through the Legislature faster than this one This is an
orchestrated bill to handcu and limit the municipality
over the future of the siterdquo
Council held an unusual special hearing on Wednesday
May 18 where all councillors except Rankin and Adam
expressed their dismay at the Legislaturersquos high-handed
move Mayor Savage aempted to dampen concerns
about the possibility of having to open another landll
elsewhere in HRM arguing that Oer Lake sll had at
least 10 years to go and that there would undoubtedly
be improvements in the technologies used to handle
waste
At the conclusion of the hearing the Council voted
15-2 (Rankin and Adams voted no) to have the Mayor
a leer to the Legislature protesng the lack of formal
consultaon with the city concern of the potenal
nancial implicaons for the city and disrespect for the
Councilrsquos work over the years to manage the city rsquos solid
waste problem
Some of you may wonder why use NO MORE DUMPS
on the protest signs for a proposed C amp D 2 processingfacility
Considerable discussion went into the wording on
the signs There is debris on the site that is currently
under a rezoning applicaon so materials have been
dumped there and there is a dump in North Preston
In addion to those two sites there are a number of
places within these communies where people have
dumped garbage of various kinds and ldquoNo Dumpingrdquo
signs have been posted in those locaons Sincerezoning applicaon 19800 was submied and our
eorts to stop it began a number of residents have
come forward with informaon on other locaons
So to many residents there is no queson of whether
or not the word ldquodumpsrdquo should be used
Why NO MORE DUMPS Signs

SUMMER
9Sports
Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon
and prevenng further injury to the area
If you have any injury quesons contact your local

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a
week Teen volunteers and their partners form lots of wonderful connecons and
relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family
members
The success of the program is due in part to the close proximity of the high school
which allows students to walk to the library to help out aer school and enjoy a light
snack and conversaon with their peers prior to the children arriving each week
The Leading Readers program at MH Library is proudly supported by grants from
Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Capital Health and generous donaons from the
Musquodoboit Harbour and District Lionrsquos Club Special thanks to the sta of EasternShore District High School for their connued support of the program and liaison with

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley
MacLean Rev Peter Harris Rev Robert Richmond Rev

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio

New polices for employment service
organizaons at the Department of
Labour and Advanced Educaon (LEA)
will force the Watershed AssociaonDevelopment Enterprise (WADE) to
close its doors on July 1 2016 ending
the organizaonrsquos 36 years of serving the
communies of Cherry BrookLake Loon
Lake Major North Preston East Preston
and the Dartmouth African Nova Scoan
Community
According to WADE board member
Brenton Sparks the organizaonrsquosboard is pursuing mulple avenues to
keep the doors open ldquoAer 36 years
we know our communies beer than
anyonerdquo Sparks said ldquoWersquove wrien
leers to the Premier the Minister and
the Deputy Minister Wersquove held a press
conference Wersquore talking with an MLA
about introducing special legislaon to
keep our funding goingrdquo
WADErsquos troubles grew out of thefederal governmentrsquos 2009 decision to
turn employment services over to the
provinces Vicki Ellio-Lopez Execuve
Lead with Careers Nova Scoa led the
DLEArsquos eort to deal with what she
said was ldquoa patchwork system with no
standards in place and inequitable access
to service In some areas of the province
there were a number of organizaons
in other areas none And out of the
$23 million budget 53 was going
to administraon and infrastructure
to people not involved in direct client
service deliveryrdquo
Ellio-Lopez emphasized that the
decision to reorganize employment
services ldquowas never a cost-cung
exercise We wanted to insure that
money was directed to providing high
quality services in the right places with
equitable access to all services across
the provincerdquo
Ellio-Lopez said that the department
conducted extensive consultaons with
all 51 of the exisng groups including
a road show engaging a consulng rm
to do in-depth interviews and one-on-
one site visits The goal was to get the
groups in each of 18 regions to come
up with a plan where one organizaon
would be the ldquoagreement holderrdquo
organizaon administering that area
with the remaining groups developingpartnerships with the agreement
holding group Under this arrangement
there would be fewer administrave
personnel and more people delivering
front-line services
According to Sparks ldquoWhat Labour told
us was there were 3 areas within HRM
Halifax-Dartmouth Sackville and the
area including WADE Cole Harbour
Porters Lake and Sheet Harbour Cole
Harbour didnrsquot want to work with us
so we submied a proposal with WADEas the hub Musquodoboit Harbour as
the agreement holder and Porters Lake
as a satellite We thought that geng 3
of the 4 groups together would win the
contractrdquo
But DLEA rejected their proposal and
announced that the YMCA in Dartmouth
would be in charge of providing
employment services instead Sparkssays that WADE was stunned by this
development ldquoThe YMCA wasnrsquot even
in the group that we were talking withrdquo
In an interview on CTV Atlanc soon
aer the YMCA announcement Sparks
called DLEArsquos decision ldquoa clear aack
of systemic racism Wersquove been dealing
WADE Fights for Survival
By Richard Bell
with it for years and wersquove had enoughrdquo
In the same CTV Atlanc story DLEA
Minister Kelly Regan strongly rejected
Sparksrsquo accusaon claiming ldquoThat is not
accurate at all This is about providing
good services to Nova Scoans making
sure they get good quality services theydeserve and are entled tordquo
Sparks said that WADE is encouraging
people to stop by their oces to sign a
peon asking DLEA to connue funding
the group He said that the WADE board
was sll hopeful that DLEA would respond
to their appeal but that the board was
prepared to increase pressure on DLEA
as the July 1 deadline gets closer
According to the following statement
from DLEA all the other employment
agencies on the Eastern Shore were able
to negoate partnership agreements
with an agreement holder

Halifax Regional School Board
District 1 member Bridget
Ann Boulier welcomed the

selecon process The new
school will be built at the site of
Duncan MacMillan High School
Duncan MacMillan Moves Ahead Peon Filed to Replace ESDH
By Richard BellldquoWersquoll be geng the steering
commiee ready this yearrdquo
Boulier said ldquoand then people
can get down to the basics of
deciding what people want inthe new schoolrdquo
Eastern Shore District High
In a display of support for
replacing both ESDH and Gaetz
Brook the society Community
Campus Vision Associaon
(CCVA) submied a peon
in early May to the legislaturewith 1276 signatures gathered
from supermarkets and door-
to-door peoning The
peon calls on the provincial
government ldquoto immediately
replace Eastern Shore District
High School (ESDH) and Gaetz
Brook Junior High School (GBJH)
with a single modern facilityrdquo
The peon cites several major
concerns about the high schoolincluding aging infrastructure
and underfunded maintenance
outdated classroom
conguraons new housing
developments with more
children lack of potable water
polluon of coastal waters the
presence of asbestos and the
inadequacy of recent ldquoBand-
Aidrdquo cosmec changes at ESDH
Boulier said that the Board
was aware of how old the high
school was and had already
taken ocial acon to start the
replacement process ldquoESDH
is the oldest high school in the
Halifax Regional School Boardrdquo
Boutlier said She pointed that
in response to a request for
capital investments for the nextthree years from the provincial
Department of Educaon and
Early Childhood Educaon
(EECD) the Board voted on
March 30 2016 to include ESDH
on its list of 10 capital projects
But the Board hedged its bet
asking for funds for either a
ldquoNew School or Addion amp
Alteraonrdquo The Boardrsquos capitalprojects list did not include
Gaetz Brook Junior High School
Boulier explained that Board
had submied this eitheror
request for ESDH so that if the
EECD turns down replacing the
high school ldquothe Province can
sll do renovaons Right now
the decision is in the provincial
governmentrsquos hands to decidewhat they want to dordquo
MLA Murphy called for a new
high school in the summer of
2014 with his proposal for a
ldquocampusrdquo where he wanted
to move ESDH The Birches
nursing home and recreaonal
facilies to a shared site in the
Eastern Shore Industrial ParkCCVA is no longer wedded to
Murphyrsquos proposed Eastern
Shore Industrial Park locaon
but the organizaon remains
commied to the campus
concept with the school as
the cung-edge instuon
As CCVA society chair Jeanne
McKenna explained in a leer
to the Chronicle Herald onDecember 9 2015 CCVA had
ldquobeen advocang for a campus
facility to share services among
a seniorsrsquo home a juniorsenior
high school and a recreaon
facility The school replacement
issue is at the forefront of this
eortrdquo
As to what will happen next
Boulier cauoned against
expecng a quick provincial
decision on the Boardrsquos EHDS
recommendaon ldquoWersquove
voted on itrdquo she said ldquoand
thatrsquos where it stands The
Board is on the boom of the
totem pole The power is in the
federal government and theprovincial government Itrsquos not
something that might happen

This seemingly endless and

insulng and moronic behaviour

the best polical contenders
that America can oer for the
highest oce in their country
reects sadly on all that is good

The sheer nasness at the

Thumbs Down on Dirty Tricks
By Wyn Jones
TrumpClinton bashing match
By comparison our federal
elecon last October was a
model of an elecon held in themost democrac circumstances
There were a few blows that
were a lile under the polical
belt but on the whole we
should be proud of the way the
whole process was conducted
by all the pares The televised
debates were sharp but well
within the boundaries of
acceptable debate behaviour
There have been elecons here
that have suered from the
inuence of the style imported
from the US These negave
elecons have invariably led
to the following parliamentary
sessions being lled with all the
reected and residual bierness
le over with a corresponding
inability to reach policalcompromise to get important
legislaon enacted
Professional polical operators
are all in favour of dirty tricks
They fully maintain that
such shenanigans work in a
candidatersquos favour And the pros
are right Such taccs can work
extremely well but only at thecost of throwing democrac
principles on the trash heap of
history
We have come to expect
nasness and morally
fraudulent behaviour in
elecons parcularly from our
immediate neighbour to the
south But right here at home
we are unfortunately seeing
how such methods can trickle
down to even the lower levels
of the polical spectrum like

The always fraught relaonship between the Provincial
Legislature and Halifax Regional Council has taken
a stunning turn for the worse in the latest twist in
the struggle over the cityrsquos relaonship with the
communies around the Oer Lake solid waste landll
site
In a move that took all but two city councillors and
council sta by surprise Timberlea-Prospect MLA Ian
Rankin introduced a private memberrsquos bill that sets
legal binding limits on the cityrsquos solid waste disposal
operaon at Oer Lake
Back in 1999 the city struck what the communies
around the Oer Lake waste disposal site were led tobelieve was a binding agreement on the total number
of waste disposal cells and the height of the waste to
be allowed on those cells Since then the cityrsquos eorts
to make various changes in its waste disposal policies in
the name of cost-savings have set o alarm bells The
Oer Lake communies interpreted the cityrsquos proposed
changes as potenal violaons of the agreement such
as increasing the height of the waste cells
The city councillor and MLA representave for the
Oer Lake area are a father and son team District 12
Councillor Reg Rankin and his son MLA Ian Rankin MLA
Rankin private memberrsquos bill Bill 176 the Oer Lake
Landll Act places legal limits on the total number of

Legislature Grabs Control of Halifax Landll Policy
By Richard Bell
reading on May 13th by voice vote)
ldquoWe got blindsidedrdquo Hendsbee said in an interview
ldquoThis bill is nothing but polical posturing by the local
city councillor and the local MLA [Reg Rankin and Ian
Rankin] A bill like this should have gone through the
Ministry of Environment with me for the cityrsquos sta
to study the potenal nancial impact MLA Rankin and
Councillor Rankin and Steve Adams knew about the bill
but they didnrsquot let us know I didnrsquot nd out about this
bill unl Saturday I canrsquot remember a bill that moved
through the Legislature faster than this one This is an
orchestrated bill to handcu and limit the municipality
over the future of the siterdquo
Council held an unusual special hearing on Wednesday
May 18 where all councillors except Rankin and Adam
expressed their dismay at the Legislaturersquos high-handed
move Mayor Savage aempted to dampen concerns
about the possibility of having to open another landll
elsewhere in HRM arguing that Oer Lake sll had at
least 10 years to go and that there would undoubtedly
be improvements in the technologies used to handle
waste
At the conclusion of the hearing the Council voted
15-2 (Rankin and Adams voted no) to have the Mayor
a leer to the Legislature protesng the lack of formal
consultaon with the city concern of the potenal
nancial implicaons for the city and disrespect for the
Councilrsquos work over the years to manage the city rsquos solid
waste problem
Some of you may wonder why use NO MORE DUMPS
on the protest signs for a proposed C amp D 2 processingfacility
Considerable discussion went into the wording on
the signs There is debris on the site that is currently
under a rezoning applicaon so materials have been
dumped there and there is a dump in North Preston
In addion to those two sites there are a number of
places within these communies where people have
dumped garbage of various kinds and ldquoNo Dumpingrdquo
signs have been posted in those locaons Sincerezoning applicaon 19800 was submied and our
eorts to stop it began a number of residents have
come forward with informaon on other locaons
So to many residents there is no queson of whether
or not the word ldquodumpsrdquo should be used
Why NO MORE DUMPS Signs

SUMMER
9Sports
Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon
and prevenng further injury to the area

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a
week Teen volunteers and their partners form lots of wonderful connecons and
relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family
members
The success of the program is due in part to the close proximity of the high school
which allows students to walk to the library to help out aer school and enjoy a light
snack and conversaon with their peers prior to the children arriving each week
The Leading Readers program at MH Library is proudly supported by grants from
Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Capital Health and generous donaons from the
Musquodoboit Harbour and District Lionrsquos Club Special thanks to the sta of EasternShore District High School for their connued support of the program and liaison with
students
The next session of Leading Readers will start up again in the fall

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

New polices for employment service
organizaons at the Department of
Labour and Advanced Educaon (LEA)
will force the Watershed AssociaonDevelopment Enterprise (WADE) to
close its doors on July 1 2016 ending
the organizaonrsquos 36 years of serving the
communies of Cherry BrookLake Loon
Lake Major North Preston East Preston
and the Dartmouth African Nova Scoan
Community
According to WADE board member
Brenton Sparks the organizaonrsquosboard is pursuing mulple avenues to
keep the doors open ldquoAer 36 years
we know our communies beer than
anyonerdquo Sparks said ldquoWersquove wrien
leers to the Premier the Minister and
the Deputy Minister Wersquove held a press
conference Wersquore talking with an MLA
about introducing special legislaon to
keep our funding goingrdquo
WADErsquos troubles grew out of thefederal governmentrsquos 2009 decision to
turn employment services over to the
provinces Vicki Ellio-Lopez Execuve
Lead with Careers Nova Scoa led the
DLEArsquos eort to deal with what she
said was ldquoa patchwork system with no
standards in place and inequitable access
to service In some areas of the province
there were a number of organizaons
in other areas none And out of the
$23 million budget 53 was going
to administraon and infrastructure
to people not involved in direct client
service deliveryrdquo
Ellio-Lopez emphasized that the
decision to reorganize employment
services ldquowas never a cost-cung
exercise We wanted to insure that
money was directed to providing high
quality services in the right places with
equitable access to all services across
the provincerdquo
Ellio-Lopez said that the department
conducted extensive consultaons with
all 51 of the exisng groups including
a road show engaging a consulng rm
to do in-depth interviews and one-on-
one site visits The goal was to get the
groups in each of 18 regions to come
up with a plan where one organizaon
would be the ldquoagreement holderrdquo
organizaon administering that area
with the remaining groups developingpartnerships with the agreement
holding group Under this arrangement
there would be fewer administrave
personnel and more people delivering
front-line services
According to Sparks ldquoWhat Labour told
us was there were 3 areas within HRM
Halifax-Dartmouth Sackville and the
area including WADE Cole Harbour
Porters Lake and Sheet Harbour Cole
Harbour didnrsquot want to work with us
so we submied a proposal with WADEas the hub Musquodoboit Harbour as
the agreement holder and Porters Lake
as a satellite We thought that geng 3
of the 4 groups together would win the
contractrdquo
But DLEA rejected their proposal and
announced that the YMCA in Dartmouth
would be in charge of providing
employment services instead Sparkssays that WADE was stunned by this
development ldquoThe YMCA wasnrsquot even
in the group that we were talking withrdquo
In an interview on CTV Atlanc soon
aer the YMCA announcement Sparks
called DLEArsquos decision ldquoa clear aack
of systemic racism Wersquove been dealing
WADE Fights for Survival
By Richard Bell
with it for years and wersquove had enoughrdquo
In the same CTV Atlanc story DLEA
Minister Kelly Regan strongly rejected
Sparksrsquo accusaon claiming ldquoThat is not
accurate at all This is about providing
good services to Nova Scoans making
sure they get good quality services theydeserve and are entled tordquo
Sparks said that WADE is encouraging
people to stop by their oces to sign a
peon asking DLEA to connue funding
the group He said that the WADE board
was sll hopeful that DLEA would respond
to their appeal but that the board was
prepared to increase pressure on DLEA
as the July 1 deadline gets closer
According to the following statement
from DLEA all the other employment
agencies on the Eastern Shore were able
to negoate partnership agreements
with an agreement holder

Duncan MacMillan Moves Ahead Peon Filed to Replace ESDH
By Richard BellldquoWersquoll be geng the steering
commiee ready this yearrdquo
Boulier said ldquoand then people
can get down to the basics of
deciding what people want inthe new schoolrdquo
Eastern Shore District High
In a display of support for
replacing both ESDH and Gaetz
Brook the society Community
Campus Vision Associaon
(CCVA) submied a peon
in early May to the legislaturewith 1276 signatures gathered
from supermarkets and door-
to-door peoning The
peon calls on the provincial
government ldquoto immediately
replace Eastern Shore District
High School (ESDH) and Gaetz
Brook Junior High School (GBJH)
with a single modern facilityrdquo
The peon cites several major
concerns about the high schoolincluding aging infrastructure
and underfunded maintenance
outdated classroom
conguraons new housing
developments with more
children lack of potable water
polluon of coastal waters the
presence of asbestos and the
inadequacy of recent ldquoBand-
Aidrdquo cosmec changes at ESDH
Boulier said that the Board
was aware of how old the high
school was and had already
taken ocial acon to start the
replacement process ldquoESDH
is the oldest high school in the
Halifax Regional School Boardrdquo
Boutlier said She pointed that
in response to a request for
capital investments for the nextthree years from the provincial
Department of Educaon and
Early Childhood Educaon
(EECD) the Board voted on
March 30 2016 to include ESDH
on its list of 10 capital projects
But the Board hedged its bet
asking for funds for either a
ldquoNew School or Addion amp
Alteraonrdquo The Boardrsquos capitalprojects list did not include
Gaetz Brook Junior High School
Boulier explained that Board
had submied this eitheror
request for ESDH so that if the
EECD turns down replacing the
high school ldquothe Province can
sll do renovaons Right now
the decision is in the provincial
governmentrsquos hands to decidewhat they want to dordquo
MLA Murphy called for a new
high school in the summer of
2014 with his proposal for a
ldquocampusrdquo where he wanted
to move ESDH The Birches
nursing home and recreaonal
facilies to a shared site in the
Eastern Shore Industrial ParkCCVA is no longer wedded to
Murphyrsquos proposed Eastern
Shore Industrial Park locaon
but the organizaon remains
commied to the campus
concept with the school as
the cung-edge instuon
As CCVA society chair Jeanne
McKenna explained in a leer
to the Chronicle Herald onDecember 9 2015 CCVA had
ldquobeen advocang for a campus
facility to share services among
a seniorsrsquo home a juniorsenior
high school and a recreaon
facility The school replacement
issue is at the forefront of this
eortrdquo
As to what will happen next
Boulier cauoned against
expecng a quick provincial
decision on the Boardrsquos EHDS
recommendaon ldquoWersquove

This seemingly endless and

grates on the very basics of what

insulng and moronic behaviour
by what is supposed to be
the best polical contenders
that America can oer for the
highest oce in their country
reects sadly on all that is good
in the American way
The sheer nasness at the

Thumbs Down on Dirty Tricks
By Wyn Jones
TrumpClinton bashing match
By comparison our federal
elecon last October was a
model of an elecon held in themost democrac circumstances
There were a few blows that
were a lile under the polical
belt but on the whole we
should be proud of the way the
whole process was conducted
by all the pares The televised
debates were sharp but well
within the boundaries of
acceptable debate behaviour
There have been elecons here
that have suered from the
inuence of the style imported
from the US These negave
elecons have invariably led
to the following parliamentary
sessions being lled with all the
reected and residual bierness
le over with a corresponding
inability to reach policalcompromise to get important
legislaon enacted
Professional polical operators
are all in favour of dirty tricks
They fully maintain that
such shenanigans work in a
candidatersquos favour And the pros
are right Such taccs can work
extremely well but only at thecost of throwing democrac
principles on the trash heap of
history
We have come to expect
nasness and morally
fraudulent behaviour in
elecons parcularly from our
immediate neighbour to the
south But right here at home
we are unfortunately seeing
how such methods can trickle
down to even the lower levels
of the polical spectrum like

The always fraught relaonship between the Provincial
Legislature and Halifax Regional Council has taken
a stunning turn for the worse in the latest twist in
the struggle over the cityrsquos relaonship with the
communies around the Oer Lake solid waste landll
site
In a move that took all but two city councillors and
council sta by surprise Timberlea-Prospect MLA Ian
Rankin introduced a private memberrsquos bill that sets
legal binding limits on the cityrsquos solid waste disposal
operaon at Oer Lake
Back in 1999 the city struck what the communies
around the Oer Lake waste disposal site were led tobelieve was a binding agreement on the total number
of waste disposal cells and the height of the waste to
be allowed on those cells Since then the cityrsquos eorts
to make various changes in its waste disposal policies in
the name of cost-savings have set o alarm bells The
Oer Lake communies interpreted the cityrsquos proposed
changes as potenal violaons of the agreement such
as increasing the height of the waste cells
The city councillor and MLA representave for the
Oer Lake area are a father and son team District 12
Councillor Reg Rankin and his son MLA Ian Rankin MLA

ldquoWe got blindsidedrdquo Hendsbee said in an interview
ldquoThis bill is nothing but polical posturing by the local
city councillor and the local MLA [Reg Rankin and Ian
Rankin] A bill like this should have gone through the
Ministry of Environment with me for the cityrsquos sta
to study the potenal nancial impact MLA Rankin and
Councillor Rankin and Steve Adams knew about the bill
but they didnrsquot let us know I didnrsquot nd out about this
bill unl Saturday I canrsquot remember a bill that moved
through the Legislature faster than this one This is an
orchestrated bill to handcu and limit the municipality
over the future of the siterdquo
Council held an unusual special hearing on Wednesday
May 18 where all councillors except Rankin and Adam
expressed their dismay at the Legislaturersquos high-handed
move Mayor Savage aempted to dampen concerns
about the possibility of having to open another landll
elsewhere in HRM arguing that Oer Lake sll had at
least 10 years to go and that there would undoubtedly
be improvements in the technologies used to handle
waste
At the conclusion of the hearing the Council voted
15-2 (Rankin and Adams voted no) to have the Mayor
a leer to the Legislature protesng the lack of formal
consultaon with the city concern of the potenal
nancial implicaons for the city and disrespect for the
Councilrsquos work over the years to manage the city rsquos solid
waste problem
Some of you may wonder why use NO MORE DUMPS
on the protest signs for a proposed C amp D 2 processingfacility
Considerable discussion went into the wording on
the signs There is debris on the site that is currently
under a rezoning applicaon so materials have been
dumped there and there is a dump in North Preston
In addion to those two sites there are a number of
places within these communies where people have
dumped garbage of various kinds and ldquoNo Dumpingrdquo
signs have been posted in those locaons Sincerezoning applicaon 19800 was submied and our
eorts to stop it began a number of residents have
come forward with informaon on other locaons
So to many residents there is no queson of whether
or not the word ldquodumpsrdquo should be used
Why NO MORE DUMPS Signs

acknowledged having heard this rumor ldquoI always do a
talk at the start of the meengrdquo McLaughlin explained
ldquoItrsquos the same speech every year
We want more people out using our trails but without
helping with maintenance hikers slowly loving theirtrails to death And I end my talk by saying that if you
donrsquot volunteer you wonrsquot have trails Someone must
have mis-heard me and thought I was talking about a
specic trail the Musquodoboit trail rdquo

trail is in very good condionrdquo Van Dyke said ldquoIn fact

In the latest skirmish over how Halifax should deal
with the increasingly contenous legacy of its founder
Edward Cornwallis Halifax Regional Council defeated a
moon on May 10th to study the issue by a vote of 8-7
Up-and-coming District 7 Councillor Waye Mason
introduced the moon asking for a sta report on
seng up a public engagement process ldquoto review
and advise Council regarding possible changes to the
commemoraon of Edward Cornwallis on municipal
assets including Cornwallis Park and Cornwallis Streetrdquo
Cornwallis who founded Halifax in 1749 has come
into increasingly great disrepute because of his oer of
bounes for the scalps of MirsquoKmaq men women andchildren In 2011 the Halifax Regional School Board
vote to rename Cornwallis Junior High In 2015 Premier
Stephen McNeil removed a sign for the Cornwallis
River aer a request from a MirsquoKmaq elder And calls
have been mounng for renaming Cornwallis Park and
removing the parkrsquos statue of Cornwallis
Eastern Shore Councillor David Hendsbee has been a
consistent opponent of moving the Cornwallis statue
In an interview Hendsbee said that ldquoCornwallis may
not have been perfect but we canrsquot deny that basically
Cornwallis was our founder We canrsquot change that factrdquo
Far from geng rid of the statute Hendsbee favours
moving it down to a more prominent locaon on the

SUMMER
9Sports
Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon
and prevenng further injury to the area

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a
week Teen volunteers and their partners form lots of wonderful connecons and
relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family
members
The success of the program is due in part to the close proximity of the high school
which allows students to walk to the library to help out aer school and enjoy a light
snack and conversaon with their peers prior to the children arriving each week
The Leading Readers program at MH Library is proudly supported by grants from
Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Capital Health and generous donaons from the

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

Halifax Regional School Board
District 1 member Bridget
Ann Boulier welcomed the
conclusion of the long site
selecon process The new
school will be built at the site of
Duncan MacMillan High School
Duncan MacMillan Moves Ahead Peon Filed to Replace ESDH
By Richard BellldquoWersquoll be geng the steering
commiee ready this yearrdquo
Boulier said ldquoand then people
can get down to the basics of
deciding what people want inthe new schoolrdquo
Eastern Shore District High
In a display of support for
replacing both ESDH and Gaetz
Brook the society Community
Campus Vision Associaon
(CCVA) submied a peon
in early May to the legislaturewith 1276 signatures gathered
from supermarkets and door-
to-door peoning The
peon calls on the provincial
government ldquoto immediately
replace Eastern Shore District
High School (ESDH) and Gaetz
Brook Junior High School (GBJH)
with a single modern facilityrdquo
The peon cites several major
concerns about the high schoolincluding aging infrastructure
and underfunded maintenance
outdated classroom
conguraons new housing
developments with more
children lack of potable water
polluon of coastal waters the
presence of asbestos and the
inadequacy of recent ldquoBand-
Aidrdquo cosmec changes at ESDH
Boulier said that the Board
was aware of how old the high
school was and had already
taken ocial acon to start the
replacement process ldquoESDH
is the oldest high school in the
Halifax Regional School Boardrdquo
Boutlier said She pointed that
in response to a request for
capital investments for the nextthree years from the provincial
Department of Educaon and
Early Childhood Educaon
(EECD) the Board voted on
March 30 2016 to include ESDH
on its list of 10 capital projects
But the Board hedged its bet
asking for funds for either a
ldquoNew School or Addion amp
Alteraonrdquo The Boardrsquos capitalprojects list did not include
Gaetz Brook Junior High School
Boulier explained that Board
had submied this eitheror
request for ESDH so that if the
EECD turns down replacing the
high school ldquothe Province can
sll do renovaons Right now
the decision is in the provincial
governmentrsquos hands to decidewhat they want to dordquo
MLA Murphy called for a new
high school in the summer of
2014 with his proposal for a
ldquocampusrdquo where he wanted
to move ESDH The Birches
nursing home and recreaonal
facilies to a shared site in the
Eastern Shore Industrial ParkCCVA is no longer wedded to
Murphyrsquos proposed Eastern
Shore Industrial Park locaon
but the organizaon remains
commied to the campus
concept with the school as
the cung-edge instuon
As CCVA society chair Jeanne
McKenna explained in a leer
to the Chronicle Herald onDecember 9 2015 CCVA had
ldquobeen advocang for a campus
facility to share services among
a seniorsrsquo home a juniorsenior
high school and a recreaon
facility The school replacement
issue is at the forefront of this
eortrdquo
As to what will happen next
Boulier cauoned against
expecng a quick provincial
decision on the Boardrsquos EHDS
recommendaon ldquoWersquove
voted on itrdquo she said ldquoand
thatrsquos where it stands The
Board is on the boom of the
totem pole The power is in the
federal government and theprovincial government Itrsquos not
something that might happen
today or tomorrowrdquo

Like a lot of Canadians Irsquom
geng completely fed up with
the Trump thing going on below
the border
This seemingly endless and
most oen mindless charade
grates on the very basics of what
reasonable public polical
debate The name calling and
insulng and moronic behaviour
by what is supposed to be
the best polical contenders
that America can oer for the
highest oce in their country
reects sadly on all that is good
in the American way
The sheer nasness at the
debates and the behind the
scenes dirty tricks would make
even dear old Richard ldquoI am

Thumbs Down on Dirty Tricks
By Wyn Jones
TrumpClinton bashing match
By comparison our federal
elecon last October was a
model of an elecon held in themost democrac circumstances
There were a few blows that
were a lile under the polical
belt but on the whole we
should be proud of the way the
whole process was conducted
by all the pares The televised
debates were sharp but well
within the boundaries of
acceptable debate behaviour
There have been elecons here
that have suered from the
inuence of the style imported
from the US These negave
elecons have invariably led
to the following parliamentary
sessions being lled with all the
reected and residual bierness
le over with a corresponding
inability to reach policalcompromise to get important
legislaon enacted
Professional polical operators
are all in favour of dirty tricks
They fully maintain that
such shenanigans work in a
candidatersquos favour And the pros
are right Such taccs can work
extremely well but only at thecost of throwing democrac
principles on the trash heap of
history
We have come to expect
nasness and morally
fraudulent behaviour in
elecons parcularly from our
immediate neighbour to the
south But right here at home
we are unfortunately seeing
how such methods can trickle
down to even the lower levels
of the polical spectrum like

The always fraught relaonship between the Provincial
Legislature and Halifax Regional Council has taken
a stunning turn for the worse in the latest twist in
the struggle over the cityrsquos relaonship with the
communies around the Oer Lake solid waste landll
site
In a move that took all but two city councillors and
council sta by surprise Timberlea-Prospect MLA Ian
Rankin introduced a private memberrsquos bill that sets
legal binding limits on the cityrsquos solid waste disposal
operaon at Oer Lake
Back in 1999 the city struck what the communies
around the Oer Lake waste disposal site were led tobelieve was a binding agreement on the total number
of waste disposal cells and the height of the waste to
be allowed on those cells Since then the cityrsquos eorts
to make various changes in its waste disposal policies in
the name of cost-savings have set o alarm bells The
Oer Lake communies interpreted the cityrsquos proposed
changes as potenal violaons of the agreement such
as increasing the height of the waste cells
The city councillor and MLA representave for the
Oer Lake area are a father and son team District 12
Councillor Reg Rankin and his son MLA Ian Rankin MLA

Ministry of Environment with me for the cityrsquos sta
to study the potenal nancial impact MLA Rankin and
Councillor Rankin and Steve Adams knew about the bill
but they didnrsquot let us know I didnrsquot nd out about this

least 10 years to go and that there would undoubtedly
be improvements in the technologies used to handle
waste
At the conclusion of the hearing the Council voted
15-2 (Rankin and Adams voted no) to have the Mayor
a leer to the Legislature protesng the lack of formal
consultaon with the city concern of the potenal
nancial implicaons for the city and disrespect for the
Councilrsquos work over the years to manage the city rsquos solid
waste problem
Some of you may wonder why use NO MORE DUMPS
on the protest signs for a proposed C amp D 2 processingfacility
Considerable discussion went into the wording on
the signs There is debris on the site that is currently
under a rezoning applicaon so materials have been
dumped there and there is a dump in North Preston
In addion to those two sites there are a number of
places within these communies where people have
dumped garbage of various kinds and ldquoNo Dumpingrdquo
signs have been posted in those locaons Sincerezoning applicaon 19800 was submied and our
eorts to stop it began a number of residents have
come forward with informaon on other locaons
So to many residents there is no queson of whether
or not the word ldquodumpsrdquo should be used
Why NO MORE DUMPS Signs

ldquoItrsquos the same speech every year
We want more people out using our trails but without
helping with maintenance hikers slowly loving theirtrails to death And I end my talk by saying that if you
donrsquot volunteer you wonrsquot have trails Someone must
have mis-heard me and thought I was talking about a
specic trail the Musquodoboit trail rdquo

In the latest skirmish over how Halifax should deal
with the increasingly contenous legacy of its founder
Edward Cornwallis Halifax Regional Council defeated a
moon on May 10th to study the issue by a vote of 8-7
Up-and-coming District 7 Councillor Waye Mason
introduced the moon asking for a sta report on
seng up a public engagement process ldquoto review
and advise Council regarding possible changes to the
commemoraon of Edward Cornwallis on municipal
assets including Cornwallis Park and Cornwallis Streetrdquo
Cornwallis who founded Halifax in 1749 has come
into increasingly great disrepute because of his oer of
bounes for the scalps of MirsquoKmaq men women andchildren In 2011 the Halifax Regional School Board
vote to rename Cornwallis Junior High In 2015 Premier
Stephen McNeil removed a sign for the Cornwallis
River aer a request from a MirsquoKmaq elder And calls
have been mounng for renaming Cornwallis Park and

Eastern Shore Councillor David Hendsbee has been a
consistent opponent of moving the Cornwallis statue
In an interview Hendsbee said that ldquoCornwallis may
not have been perfect but we canrsquot deny that basically
Cornwallis was our founder We canrsquot change that factrdquo
Far from geng rid of the statute Hendsbee favours
moving it down to a more prominent locaon on the

SUMMER
9Sports
Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon
and prevenng further injury to the area

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a
week Teen volunteers and their partners form lots of wonderful connecons and
relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family
members
The success of the program is due in part to the close proximity of the high school
which allows students to walk to the library to help out aer school and enjoy a light
snack and conversaon with their peers prior to the children arriving each week
The Leading Readers program at MH Library is proudly supported by grants from
Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Capital Health and generous donaons from the

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

Like a lot of Canadians Irsquom
geng completely fed up with
the Trump thing going on below

This seemingly endless and
most oen mindless charade
grates on the very basics of what

debate The name calling and
insulng and moronic behaviour
by what is supposed to be
the best polical contenders
that America can oer for the
highest oce in their country
reects sadly on all that is good
in the American way
The sheer nasness at the

Thumbs Down on Dirty Tricks
By Wyn Jones
TrumpClinton bashing match
By comparison our federal
elecon last October was a
model of an elecon held in themost democrac circumstances
There were a few blows that
were a lile under the polical
belt but on the whole we
should be proud of the way the
whole process was conducted
by all the pares The televised
debates were sharp but well
within the boundaries of
acceptable debate behaviour
There have been elecons here
that have suered from the
inuence of the style imported
from the US These negave
elecons have invariably led
to the following parliamentary
sessions being lled with all the
reected and residual bierness
le over with a corresponding
inability to reach policalcompromise to get important
legislaon enacted
Professional polical operators
are all in favour of dirty tricks
They fully maintain that
such shenanigans work in a
candidatersquos favour And the pros
are right Such taccs can work
extremely well but only at thecost of throwing democrac
principles on the trash heap of
history
We have come to expect
nasness and morally
fraudulent behaviour in
elecons parcularly from our
immediate neighbour to the
south But right here at home
we are unfortunately seeing
how such methods can trickle
down to even the lower levels
of the polical spectrum like

The always fraught relaonship between the Provincial
Legislature and Halifax Regional Council has taken
a stunning turn for the worse in the latest twist in
the struggle over the cityrsquos relaonship with the
communies around the Oer Lake solid waste landll
site
In a move that took all but two city councillors and
council sta by surprise Timberlea-Prospect MLA Ian
Rankin introduced a private memberrsquos bill that sets
legal binding limits on the cityrsquos solid waste disposal
operaon at Oer Lake
Back in 1999 the city struck what the communies
around the Oer Lake waste disposal site were led tobelieve was a binding agreement on the total number
of waste disposal cells and the height of the waste to
be allowed on those cells Since then the cityrsquos eorts
to make various changes in its waste disposal policies in
the name of cost-savings have set o alarm bells The
Oer Lake communies interpreted the cityrsquos proposed
changes as potenal violaons of the agreement such
as increasing the height of the waste cells
The city councillor and MLA representave for the
Oer Lake area are a father and son team District 12
Councillor Reg Rankin and his son MLA Ian Rankin MLA
Rankin private memberrsquos bill Bill 176 the Oer Lake
Landll Act places legal limits on the total number of
cells and the height of those cells
The bill was headed for its 3rdreading and nal passage

Legislature Grabs Control of Halifax Landll Policy
By Richard Bell
reading on May 13th by voice vote)
ldquoWe got blindsidedrdquo Hendsbee said in an interview
ldquoThis bill is nothing but polical posturing by the local
city councillor and the local MLA [Reg Rankin and Ian
Rankin] A bill like this should have gone through the
Ministry of Environment with me for the cityrsquos sta
to study the potenal nancial impact MLA Rankin and
Councillor Rankin and Steve Adams knew about the bill
but they didnrsquot let us know I didnrsquot nd out about this
bill unl Saturday I canrsquot remember a bill that moved
through the Legislature faster than this one This is an
orchestrated bill to handcu and limit the municipality
over the future of the siterdquo
Council held an unusual special hearing on Wednesday
May 18 where all councillors except Rankin and Adam
expressed their dismay at the Legislaturersquos high-handed
move Mayor Savage aempted to dampen concerns
about the possibility of having to open another landll
elsewhere in HRM arguing that Oer Lake sll had at
least 10 years to go and that there would undoubtedly
be improvements in the technologies used to handle
waste
At the conclusion of the hearing the Council voted
15-2 (Rankin and Adams voted no) to have the Mayor
a leer to the Legislature protesng the lack of formal
consultaon with the city concern of the potenal
nancial implicaons for the city and disrespect for the
Councilrsquos work over the years to manage the city rsquos solid
waste problem
Some of you may wonder why use NO MORE DUMPS
on the protest signs for a proposed C amp D 2 processingfacility
Considerable discussion went into the wording on
the signs There is debris on the site that is currently
under a rezoning applicaon so materials have been
dumped there and there is a dump in North Preston
In addion to those two sites there are a number of
places within these communies where people have
dumped garbage of various kinds and ldquoNo Dumpingrdquo
signs have been posted in those locaons Sincerezoning applicaon 19800 was submied and our
eorts to stop it began a number of residents have
come forward with informaon on other locaons
So to many residents there is no queson of whether
or not the word ldquodumpsrdquo should be used
Why NO MORE DUMPS Signs

In the latest skirmish over how Halifax should deal
with the increasingly contenous legacy of its founder

and advise Council regarding possible changes to the
commemoraon of Edward Cornwallis on municipal

SUMMER
9Sports
Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon
and prevenng further injury to the area
If you have any injury quesons contact your local

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a
week Teen volunteers and their partners form lots of wonderful connecons and
relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family
members
The success of the program is due in part to the close proximity of the high school
which allows students to walk to the library to help out aer school and enjoy a light
snack and conversaon with their peers prior to the children arriving each week
The Leading Readers program at MH Library is proudly supported by grants from
Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Capital Health and generous donaons from the
Musquodoboit Harbour and District Lionrsquos Club Special thanks to the sta of EasternShore District High School for their connued support of the program and liaison with
students
The next session of Leading Readers will start up again in the fall

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

The always fraught relaonship between the Provincial
Legislature and Halifax Regional Council has taken
a stunning turn for the worse in the latest twist in
the struggle over the cityrsquos relaonship with the
communies around the Oer Lake solid waste landll
site
In a move that took all but two city councillors and
council sta by surprise Timberlea-Prospect MLA Ian
Rankin introduced a private memberrsquos bill that sets
legal binding limits on the cityrsquos solid waste disposal
operaon at Oer Lake
Back in 1999 the city struck what the communies
around the Oer Lake waste disposal site were led tobelieve was a binding agreement on the total number
of waste disposal cells and the height of the waste to
be allowed on those cells Since then the cityrsquos eorts
to make various changes in its waste disposal policies in
the name of cost-savings have set o alarm bells The
Oer Lake communies interpreted the cityrsquos proposed
changes as potenal violaons of the agreement such
as increasing the height of the waste cells
The city councillor and MLA representave for the
Oer Lake area are a father and son team District 12
Councillor Reg Rankin and his son MLA Ian Rankin MLA
Rankin private memberrsquos bill Bill 176 the Oer Lake
Landll Act places legal limits on the total number of
cells and the height of those cells
The bill was headed for its 3rdreading and nal passage
before the Council got wind of it (The bill passed on 3rd
Legislature Grabs Control of Halifax Landll Policy
By Richard Bell
reading on May 13th by voice vote)
ldquoWe got blindsidedrdquo Hendsbee said in an interview
ldquoThis bill is nothing but polical posturing by the local
city councillor and the local MLA [Reg Rankin and Ian
Rankin] A bill like this should have gone through the
Ministry of Environment with me for the cityrsquos sta
to study the potenal nancial impact MLA Rankin and
Councillor Rankin and Steve Adams knew about the bill
but they didnrsquot let us know I didnrsquot nd out about this
bill unl Saturday I canrsquot remember a bill that moved
through the Legislature faster than this one This is an
orchestrated bill to handcu and limit the municipality
over the future of the siterdquo
Council held an unusual special hearing on Wednesday
May 18 where all councillors except Rankin and Adam
expressed their dismay at the Legislaturersquos high-handed
move Mayor Savage aempted to dampen concerns
about the possibility of having to open another landll
elsewhere in HRM arguing that Oer Lake sll had at
least 10 years to go and that there would undoubtedly
be improvements in the technologies used to handle
waste
At the conclusion of the hearing the Council voted
15-2 (Rankin and Adams voted no) to have the Mayor
a leer to the Legislature protesng the lack of formal
consultaon with the city concern of the potenal
nancial implicaons for the city and disrespect for the
Councilrsquos work over the years to manage the city rsquos solid
waste problem
Some of you may wonder why use NO MORE DUMPS
on the protest signs for a proposed C amp D 2 processingfacility
Considerable discussion went into the wording on
the signs There is debris on the site that is currently
under a rezoning applicaon so materials have been
dumped there and there is a dump in North Preston
In addion to those two sites there are a number of
places within these communies where people have
dumped garbage of various kinds and ldquoNo Dumpingrdquo
signs have been posted in those locaons Sincerezoning applicaon 19800 was submied and our
eorts to stop it began a number of residents have
come forward with informaon on other locaons
So to many residents there is no queson of whether
or not the word ldquodumpsrdquo should be used
Why NO MORE DUMPS Signs

SUMMER

Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a
week Teen volunteers and their partners form lots of wonderful connecons and
relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

McLaughlin president of Hike Nova Scoa had told
HNSrsquos annual general meeng that the Musquodoboit

When we contacted McLaughlin he laughed and
acknowledged having heard this rumor ldquoI always do a
talk at the start of the meengrdquo McLaughlin explained
ldquoItrsquos the same speech every year
We want more people out using our trails but without
helping with maintenance hikers slowly loving theirtrails to death And I end my talk by saying that if you
donrsquot volunteer you wonrsquot have trails Someone must
have mis-heard me and thought I was talking about a
specic trail the Musquodoboit trail rdquo
Stan Van Dyke the head of the Musquodoboit Trailways
Associaon conrmed that the trail was just ne ldquoOur
trail is in very good condionrdquo Van Dyke said ldquoIn fact
itrsquos beer than it has been in years Wersquove nished the
resurfacing of the main trail and the back country trails
are in good condionrdquo

importance of volunteers in keeping trails in workable

SUMMER
9Sports
Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon
and prevenng further injury to the area

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a
week Teen volunteers and their partners form lots of wonderful connecons and
relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family
members
The success of the program is due in part to the close proximity of the high school
which allows students to walk to the library to help out aer school and enjoy a light
snack and conversaon with their peers prior to the children arriving each week
The Leading Readers program at MH Library is proudly supported by grants from
Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Capital Health and generous donaons from the
Musquodoboit Harbour and District Lionrsquos Club Special thanks to the sta of EasternShore District High School for their connued support of the program and liaison with
students
The next session of Leading Readers will start up again in the fall

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley
MacLean Rev Peter Harris Rev Robert Richmond Rev

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

SUMMER
9Sports
Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon
and prevenng further injury to the area

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a

relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family
members
The success of the program is due in part to the close proximity of the high school
which allows students to walk to the library to help out aer school and enjoy a light
snack and conversaon with their peers prior to the children arriving each week
The Leading Readers program at MH Library is proudly supported by grants from
Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Capital Health and generous donaons from the

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley
MacLean Rev Peter Harris Rev Robert Richmond Rev
Tom Kerr Rev Katherine Tait and present rector Rev

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

SUMMER
9Sports
Itlsquos that me of year again when
the gloves bats and cleats come
out
With the kick o to many summer
outdoor sports and acvies
comes an increase in many
common sports related injuries
Sprains strains contusions and
tendonis are some of the most common so ssue
sports related injuries
These so ssue injuries fall into two basic categories
Acute injuries and overuse injuries Acute injuries are
caused by a sudden trauma usually a fall twist or blowto the body Common acute injuries are sprains strains
and contusions Overuse injuries occur gradually over
me when an athlec or other acvity is repeated so
oen that the body does not have enough me to heal
Tendonis and bursis are common overuse injuries
Acute injuries can vary in type and severity and inial
treatment including the RICE Protocol (rest ice
compress and elevate) is usually very eecve within
the rst 24-48 hours Once yoursquove passed the acute
phase you can ease gently back into acvity and begin
carefully stretching and strengthening the injured area
Strengthening exercises will help return original muscle
tone and protect the injured structures making it less
likely to be re-injured
A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) can guide
you through the enre post injury process As health
professionals RMTs can assess the extent of so ssue
damage treat the injured area and give you advice on
home care in the acute subacute and chronic phases
of your injury Prompt treatment of an injury followedby home care exercises will go a long way in reducing
your healing me geng back your range of moon
and prevenng further injury to the area

11Another successful session of ldquoLeading Readersrdquo at the Musquodoboit Harbour Library
just nished up with a showcase and party for the parcipang children volunteer
teens and their family members
ldquoLeading Readersrdquo is a library program that pairs teen volunteers with elementary-
aged school children to read together and play fun literacy-based games once a
week Teen volunteers and their partners form lots of wonderful connecons and
relaonships This program also provides youth in high school the opportunity to gainvaluable leadership and volunteer experience There is a showcase of their amazing
accomplishments at the end of each session for parents caregivers and family
members
The success of the program is due in part to the close proximity of the high school
which allows students to walk to the library to help out aer school and enjoy a light
snack and conversaon with their peers prior to the children arriving each week
The Leading Readers program at MH Library is proudly supported by grants from
Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Capital Health and generous donaons from the

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley
MacLean Rev Peter Harris Rev Robert Richmond Rev

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley
MacLean Rev Peter Harris Rev Robert Richmond Rev

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

History14
Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Tangier Celebrates 150 years of Local History
By Bernice Logan
superintendent William Anderson had rocks bored with
holes and lled with gun powder and when Andersongave the signal the charges in the rocks went o one by
one to welcome the Prince
Aer Holy Trinity Church was built in Tangier in 1866
the lile church in Popes Harbour was torn down Rev
Jamisonrsquos records indicate that the average aendance
in Tangier was 96 worshipers In 1883 Tangier separated
from Ship Harbour and the Parish of Tangier was formed
with Holy Trinity becoming the parish church
Church archives provide fascinang historical data
on the cost of labour materials transportaon and
maintenance In 1883 the Reed Organ had to be sent to
Halifax for repair The cost to take the organ to the wharf
for shipping was 25 cents Other expenses recorded that
year were 30 cents for a gallon of oil for lamps (in those
days an imperial gallon no doubt) 2 cents for wicks for
the lamps and 10 cents for shades for the lamps A
chord of wood cost 50 cents and 50 cents for hauling
the wood to the church
The Bishop visited the parish in 1890 300 people came
to see him and 13 people were conrmed In 1891
Holy Trinity gave a donaon to building of St Andrewrsquos
Church in Spry Harbour This same year Rev Ball resigned
from the parish because he did not agree with all night
dancing that went on aer church funcons A meeng
was held and the congregaon agreed to give up allnight dancing if the minister would stay He agreed to
stay unl he le for another parish in 1905
It is appropriate during our celebraon of our 150th
anniversary that we remember and honour all the
rectors who served in the parish over the years Rev
Frederick Rice Rev Wilfred Bradbury Rev Cooper
Alywin Rev William Drield Rev Adam Currie Rev
George Ebsary Rev William Chard Rev Ronald Parsons
Rev David Boston Rev James Purchase Rev Langley
MacLean Rev Peter Harris Rev Robert Richmond Rev
Tom Kerr Rev Katherine Tait and present rector Rev

Stephen Sekerak is an extraordinary
woodworker and furniture maker His
work has graced restaurant bars and
church altars If yoursquove spent me in
Halifax chances are yoursquove seen at least
one of Sekerakrsquos larger works
Sekerak learned woodworking from his
father His rst piece of woodworking at
the age of ve was a toy He remembers
using broom handles and hockey
scks for their wood and learning
the characteriscs of hardwood and
sowood He connued working in
wood during his school years and aerhigh school apprenced with Belton
Lumberin the early 1960rsquos in Ontario
Sekerak took breaks from his
woodworking to do some serious
traveling Seizing an opportunity he le
Ontario and he took o to Florida and the
Bahamas to crew on a charter boat The
Mysc He later traveled to New Zealand
Australia and South Africa But he always
returned to woodworking and came to
Nova Scoa to study woodworking at the
NS College of Art amp Design where he got
a BA in Environmental Design and later
taught
Stephen Sekerak amp The Dancer in the Wood
By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a
church he renovated which looks out
to sea where he and his partner can
watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his
cat Parker sing on the windowsill her
tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the
same me they have a downwardsness
by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
Swedish woodworker James Krenov and
I can hear the reverence in his voice He
studied with Krenov near MendocinoCalifornia for 10 months in 1982
Sekerak has made many large pieces
for dierent instuons in Halifax
a pulpit altar and a credence table
for the Atlanc School of Theology a
chancellorrsquos chair and a ceremonial
mace at the Technical University of Nova
Scoa a street faccedilade for the Seahorse
Tavern and a desk for the movie The
Scarlet Leer His work is showcased in
the book the Art of Worship The Vision
and Cra of Contemporary Nova Scoan
Arsts by Kate Langan where Sekerak
says that ldquoOne of the happiest things Irsquove
done is the processional cross for Pius X
in Halifaxrdquo Stephen made the cross in
1992 of curly maple and rosewood
You donrsquot need to commission a bar or an
altar to own one of Sekerakrsquos works The
Old School Art Gallery oers a number
of his smaller pieces And if you want to
see larger pieces you can nd his studio
on East Jeddore across from Bakerrsquos Fish

Holy Trinity Anglican Church is deeply anchored in the
Tangier community In 1840 a lile Church of England
called All Saints was built in Popes Harbour (originally
called Southampton Harbour) serving the residents
of Spry Bay Spry Harbour Popes Harbour Tangier and
Shoal Bay All Saints membership also came from the
inhabited islands Gerards Island Tangier Island and
Borgals Island
Rev Robert Jamison came to the Eastern Shore of Nova
Scoa in 1840 and recorded his work in the Tangier
area Jamison wrote in his reports that he would like
to see churches built in these places but the people
were very poor and would not be able to build a church
without some outside help He wrote that there wasalways good aendance in Popes Harbour despite the
distance people had to come around the bays and
headlands and on rough roads
However the old saying ldquoGod will providerdquo worked
in Tangier In 1860 it was no less than an economic
miracle when Capt Peter Mason found gold on his
property When it was assayed in Halifax it was found
to be pure gold So a gold rush began resulng in 2000
men descending on Tangier The reputaon of the gold
mines became so well known that a French Prince and
Prince Alfred brother of King Edward VII came to visit
the mines Upon Prince Albertrsquos arrival the government

By Deirdre Dwyer
Sekerak now lives in East Jeddore in a

watch shing boats return to port or
watch as a stately pheasant teases his

tail twitching
When Sekerak describes how he
approaches his work he falls back on the
dance classes he took during the 1980s
In an interview with Cathy Shaw in the
Chronicle Herald in 1990 Sekerak said
ldquoTherersquos a thing that dancers have when
they standrdquo He explained that dancers
can pick a hair out of the middle of their
head and just li themselves by it ldquoThere
is a beauful upwardsness to it At the

by lowering the shouldershellipthat gives
them the feeling of being grounded on
the oor as well as being light on the
feetrdquo
Sekerakrsquos boxes cabinets tables and
chairs all have that groundedness and
lightness in their elegance and simple
clean lines He shows me a picture of
a cabinet made by the Russian-born
