MUTTERS
FROM
THE
MAINLAND

THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS ON DISPLAY AT HALI-
FAX’S COMPANY HOUSE LAST EASTER SUNDAY,
WHEN ART CABARET PRESENTED THEIR HOT
JESUS DANCE NIGHT.
As the son of God and saviour to mankind,
it’s long been established that Jesus
Christ is a sexy bucket of chicken. And
Hot Jesus took advantage of this wellknown
fact to offer an evening of funky
dance music from ECMA nominated Aaron
Collier, while also showcasing a live painting
of a shirtless Jesus model by Peter
Farmer.
British-born Pete is one of the creators
of Art Cabaret, which seeks to “push the experience of viewing art
to a new level... Art Cabaret wishes to entertain you with as many
senses as possible.”
As can be seen from the accompanying photos, this recreation
of the Passion had nearly as much bondage and flogging as Mel
Gibson’s version. And I’d say that’s a Jesus we can all get behind
(or in front of! — ed.).
Speaking of impure acts, sexy Jesus wasn’t the only taboo happening
to occur over the Easter Weekend. It seems some nefarious
rogues took it upon themselves to schism the Papal Plaque
from the stone it was affixed to on the Halifax Commons.
The Papal prize was originally set to commemorate the 1984
visit by Pope John Paul II, which drew a crowd of some 80,000
Have you seen this Papal plaque?

devout fans to the Commons and had nothing at all to do with
Harold McKay.
Police have released photos of the copper-alloy plaque in hopes
some good Samaritan will come forward with information. But
those fearing the divine decoration may be melted down for scrap
money have little cause for worry, since the 24- by 16-inch plaque
would be worth a maximum of $400 at current market prices.
Most likely, it’s hanging right now in some Catholic bar, or devout
dorm room.
Looks like things remain shaken and stirred in the life of young
Ian Flemming.
The 24-year-old son of Truro deputy police chief Jim Flemming
has been having a Thunderball of a year after being charged
back in January for tree-related mischief and drug possession
(Frank 608).
Luckily, Ian has been able to take a small quantum of solace
since his March 30 court date let him be referred to Adult Diversion
for those bothersome mischief charges.
The federal drug charges were ineligible, sadly, and Ian was
found guilty and slapped with a $500 fine.
Ian will be back in court for a checkup on May 4.
Only a few weeks after his death, the estate of the esteemed
Arnie Patterson seems to have settled.
According to Arnie’s will, the veteran newsman has left everything
in his $148,000 estate to his well-loved widow.
Glorena Patterson will also take ownership of Arnie’s property
and investments, including the couple’s $397,000 Golf Links
Road home, and Floridian condo.
Mr. Dartmouth, and longtime Liberal champion, Arnie was laid
to rest in a service at St. Peter’s Catholic Church back in March,
which readers of Frank 607 will remember brought out some of
the province’s top names.
