SMART BATHROOM REMODELING: When it's time to remodel a bathroom, start by reading this list of essentials found on the Country Living magazine website. Following these simple tips will save you time, money and aggravation.

Plumbing is expensive to move. Sometimes changing a bathroom's layout is a good thing. However, don't do it if you don't have to. Doing so can add to both the duration and cost of your project.

The supplier is in charge. When ordering custom items such as tiles, vanities, light fixtures and bathtubs, select these items at the very start of the project and do not start the demo process until the arrival date.

Add natural light. Now is the time to add a sun tunnel or skylights to your bathroom.You can buy battery-powered skylights with rain sensors that automatically close the unit when a storm comes along.

Consider a walk-in shower.It will make the room seem larger and help if you plan to stay in your home as you age.

EDITORS NOTE: As the Northeast Town council debates the fate of St. Peters church, an oft heard tale in all corners of this province following the decommissioning of country churches, The Expositor reflects on the history of this Sheguiandah place of worship.

SHEGUIANDAHIn light of the Northeast Town councils recent decision to look at tearing down Saint Peters Anglican Church in Sheguiandah and explore the possible construction of a replica church (utilizing the churchs bell, pews and stain glass windows) on the Centennial Museum of Sheguiandah grounds, The Expositor contacted the museums curator, Heidi Ferguson, to find out more about the little church which is getting big attention.

St. Peters Church was built in 1883 by the Stringer, Keatley, Atkinson and Dunlop families, as well as other pioneers, explained Ms. Ferguson, noting that her source of information is courtesy of the Manitoulin Genealogy Clubs book Reflections and information located in the museums files. A long shed at the back was protection for the horses while they rested during church services. It was also used by the community through the week. Being beside the municipal hall, the shed was used for all events in the hall, from meetings, dances, card parties etc.

The personage for St. Peters was at the east end of the village, a large cement building with four bedrooms, located at site No.15 on the Sheguiandah Walking Tour, continued Ms. Ferguson. The property was enhanced by lovely evergreen trees planted by Mr. Hardyman, a lay reader from England who was clergy for many years. He also planted the evergreen trees around St. Andrews Church at Sheguiandah First Nation. At that time, St. Peters had three charges including St. Johns at Bidwell and St. Andrews church. At one time, Little Current was also a charge of the St. Peters Parish.

During the years, the congregation has gone up and down, she added. When the silica quarry was in operation, and more people were around, numbers were up. Church services were held about four times a year until it finally closed.

St. Peters was decommissioned in 2005, and ownership transferred to the Northeast Town under the care and control of the Centennial Museum of Sheguiandah, continued Ms. Ferguson.

After a number of Northeast Town councillors expressed support for the idea of building a replica church, Northeast Town Mayor Al MacNevin suggested that councils representative on the Museum Advisory Committee, Dawn Orr, take the idea to the committee to ensure that there is indeed interest.

Mayor MacNevin also noted that since there are no funds budgeted for the churchs demolition or replica in the 2014 budget, that the topic be brought up again during councils 2015 budget discussions this fall if there is interest from the advisory committee.

The history of St. Peters Anglican Church

Ebenezer Baptist Church, its white peaked arches stretching toward heaven, dominates the landscape of the small town of Cordova.

The sanctuary has served as a home for the local Southern Baptist Church since 1926.

The building is reminiscent of the Gothic style with tall, slender, peaked windows lining each side of it and on both sides of the front door.

The name Ebenezer, which means stone of help, came from 1 Samuel 7:12. Following an Israelite victory over the Philistines, Samuel set up a stone to commemorate the occasion and named it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto the Lord has helped us.

A history of the church reports that it was constructed on land donated by Mrs. Henry Gibson during the pastorate of the Rev. M.O. Owens. It was valued at $29,000 and had a seating capacity of 350.

Bricks made on the spot were used in construction of the building. At some time, they were painted white and remain so today.

In 1942, the Rev. J.M. Lane challenged church members to pay off the buildings indebtedness. Offerings covering the full sum were received on two consecutive Sundays.

Over the years, Ebenezer has had a strong working relationship with the local public school system. In 1943, the local school burned, and classes were held in the church for the next year and a half.

Almost 20 years later, the school system returned the favor.

In 1962, the church building was declared unsafe and services were held in the school while extensive repairs were made.
