SENIORS OF THE YEAR...continued from page 1
Also as usual, the centerpiece of
the festivities was the ceremony
honouring the ‘Senior of the
Year’ Award recipients, chosen by
each township in the area that
the Trefry Centre serves.
Representatives were on hand
from Tarbutt, Johnson, Hilton,
Plummer, Laird, MacDonald,
Meredith, Aberdeen and St.
Joseph Townships, as well as the
Village of Hilton Beach.
They even had Rockin’ Ronnie
Hawdon on hand to provide
great music, followed by a BBQ
feast and then the ceremonies.
Our Seniors of the Year
Their contributions make all of us so much richer in so many important ways.
Congratulations to all of our Seniors of the Year,
and thanks for all that you do!
You can tell a great deal about a
community by its volunteers.
While our various levels of
governments look after
providing the essentials of
community services, it’s the hard
work and efforts of our volunteers, who give so much of
themselves, that breathe life into
the quality of all our lives.

“Scareware” Scam Warning
THE EAST ALGOMA OPP and The Canadian Anti Fraud Centre has been receiving

These warning messages, which claim to be
from the RCMP or CSIS, tell the recipient to
pay $100 dollars via Ukash so their computer
can be “unlocked”.
These types of messages, commonly known as
“scareware”, are designed to create such shock
and anxiety that victims respond by sending
money quickly.
If you receive one of these messages, please be
aware that it is a scam - these messages are not
being issued by the RCMP.
Last November, Ukash posted an alert on their
website about a similar scam targeting residents
in the United Kingdom.
If you’ve been “locked out” of your computer,
it’s an indicator that your system may have

The Bishop’s Visit
By Marie Egglesfield
ON JUNE 30, 2013, The Rt. Rev’d. Stephen
Andrews, Anglican Bishop of Algoma, will make
his Annual Parish visit at Holy Trinity Anglican
Church in Jocelyn Township, for the 10:30 am
Combined Service with Echo Bay. A Pot Luck
Luncheon and Anniversary Cake will follow. At
this Service, Bobbi Lynn and Liam Murdock will
be confirmed.
Bishop Andrews will have prayers for our Parish
as we are celebrating three Anniversaries this
summer:
•
On July 18, 1883- 130 years ago, St. John’s
Church in Hilton Beach and the graveyard
were consecrated.
•
On July 22, 1883- 130 years ago, Holy Trinity
Church in Jocelyn was consecrated.
•
Holy Trinity Church in the 1880’s
It is now 108 years since St. George’s Church in Echo Bay
was built.
Back in 1883, Bishop Edward Sullivan, second Bishop of
Algoma (1882-1896), arrived by boat at Hilton Beach, where
he consecrated the church yard as a place of burial and the
Church under the name of St. John’s Church.

For the Service at Holy Trinity, Bishop Sullivan wrote “A large
increase was now made to the Bishop’s party, the Rev’d E. F.
Wilson had come down to present the candidates for ordination, which was to take place the next day. With Mr. Wilson
had come Mrs. Sullivan, Mrs. Richardson of Winnipeg, Rev’d
R. Renison and Lady, and two of Mr. Wilson’s children. They

had come all the way from the Sault in an open boat, a
distance of over thirty miles.”
“Before the Sunday Service, Mr. Berry from Bruce Mines,
Mrs. Beer, Mr. & Mrs. Eddy and others arrived per wagon
from Hilton Beach. Some young men also came on horseback.”
“Promptly at ten, the service began. The Church which the
people had spent so much time and loving labour was at last
consecrated to God’s service forever, under the name of the
Church of the Holy Trinity. The congregation filled the
building so that some were sitting on the platform of the
reading desk and others were on the chancel step. After the
consecration of the church came Morning Prayer, then the
ordination of C. F. Berry to the Diaconate, and the Rev. R.
Renison and H. Beer to the priesthood.”
“Next followed the Sermon, which was a masterpiece of
learning and eloquence, and showed the honour which
awaited the faithful minister in God’s Kingdom. (Revelation
4:4) At the Holy Communion, forty persons communicated
including the Clergy. Near the close of the Service, there was a
Baptism. After four hours of service, we repaired to the adjacent school house, where a sumptuous lunch was prepared
for all who had come from a distance.”
“So far everything had gone off without a single hitch. In the
long and complicated service we had just gone through, and
in the other services, the music and all things passed off
harmoniously. The singing of the hymns and chants was
excellent, led by Miss Margaret Kent (eldest sister of Fred B.
Kent, M.M.) who presided at the organ, with the large
congregation present joining heartily in them and all the
responses.”
“But this was not to continue. One of the men kindly went
for Rev. Beer’s horse, and unfortunately allowed it to run
away, smashing the buggy to pieces. Here was the dilemma,
we were already pressed for time, and likely to be late for our
other appointment and there was no other buggy to be had.
The accident spoiled the day for us. Mrs. Sullivan kindly
solved Mr. Beer’s troubles for him by promising him a new

buckboard in place of the one destroyed, still the worry and annoyance was very
trying.”
Saddle horses were soon provided for the Bishop and Mr. Beer, and they arrived at
their last appointment only an hour late. The people crowded into the school house at
Richards Landing were still patiently waiting. Here again eight persons were
confirmed, five of whom were married people. Two children were also baptized.
Owing to the accident, we could not carry the communion vessels with us, so there
was no communion here. After the Service we rode back to Jocelyn, and the Bishop
and his party that night, slept in their tents and started the next day at noon, in their
boat for Manitoulin Island.
This first visitation by Bishop Sullivan to the mission of St. Joseph’s Island is one we
will long remember. It was one of downright hard work such as the Apostles of old
are known to have engaged in.

St. John’s Church in the 1880’s
Altogether we had 2 churches and one graveyard consecrated, 24 persons confirmed,
three children baptized, three Ministers ordained, and 83 persons communicated. The
collections at the various stations, in aid of the Diocesan Fund, amounted to $18.15.
“God grant that the good work now begun may prosper and increase and may result
in many of these people being found on the right hand of the Lord when the final
separation is made at the day of judgment.” wrote Bishop Sullivan afterwards.
The Rev’d Mr. Beer’s diary provides us with the 24 names of those who were
confirmed in the year 1883: John Noble, James McMenemy, Thomas Barton, William
Kent, Richard Young, Jessie Fremlin, Esther Lowen, Ben Garside, Charles Cooper,
Sarah Falconer Brayley, Arthur Fuller, Richard Watson, Mrs. Fudge, Edith Fudge, Mrs.

The diary also noted that the 1883 congregation consisted of 87 souls, comprising of
12 Kents, 11 Youngs, 10 Williamsons, 10 Courts, 9 Campbells, 7 Burkes, 6 Clarkes, 5
Bartons, 4 Heaths and one Lambert.
[Editor’s note] A church cannot be consecrated until it is free of debt. Although Holy
Trinity was actually built in 1881, it was not free of debt until 1883. Its church yard was
not consecrated until 1898, when they actually needed it for a burial.

A BIIIIIIG Bike Ride!
Jennifer Woods tells us that the Island Riders Big Bike Team
had a wonderful time, tootling through the streets of
Richards Landing and, while they were at it, raising a total of
$2,285.00 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
The top 3 individual fundraisers were Linda Hyndman,
Christine Pascall and Lisa Lamoureaux. The winner of the
overnight stay for 2 at the Holiday Inn Express and gift card
for Docks was Jane Roberts.
Jennifer is very pleased with the day. “We toured the streets of
Richards Landing and waved to all of those we passed.” she
beams. “I personally would like to thank all those who came
out to ride the bike, those who came out to cheer us on and
everyone who made a donation. It was a great success and we
hope to make it a yearly event.”

A fellow bought a new Mercedes and was out on the
highway for a nice evening drive. The top was down,
the breeze was blowing through what was left of his
hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle
jumped up to 80 mph, he suddenly saw flashing red
and blue lights behind him. “There’s no way they can
catch a Mercedes,” he thought to himself and opened
her up further. The needle hit 90, 100.... Then the
reality of the situation hit him. “What am I doing?” he
thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took
his licence without a word and examined it and the car.
“It’s been a long day, this is the end of my shift and it’s
Friday the 13th. I don't feel like more paperwork, so if
you can give me an excuse for your driving that I
haven’t heard before, you can go.”
The guy thinks for a second and says, “Last week my
wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to
give her back!”
“Have a nice weekend,” said the officer.
Don’t Miss Switchback’s CD Release Party!
ARE YOU A SWITCHBACK FAN? If so, you probably
already know about this. But if you haven’t yet discovered this
amazing musical duo, Switchback is coming back to the
Island next week, to host a special CD Release party on
Sunday, June 30 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Richards
Landing.
That’s very fitting too, since the music video for one of the
new album’s songs, “Pour Me” features dance and stage scenes
that were shot right here at the Legion last December! Hint:
check out the teaser video at www.Youtube.com/switchbackmusic . The full video should be available within the next few
days.
The music video was produced by Kris Sundberg of Warner
Brothers & New Line Cinema out in Hollywood, California.
He’s the son of Karen and Jim Sundberg, both of whom are
well-known for their excellent marketing, photographic and
multi-media work on behalf of their good friends Brian
FitzGerald and Marty McCormack, aka Switchback. He shot
the new video down in the desert along the Mexican Border.
The full video has many more scenes of that region and
centres around a down-and-out cowboy who wakes up alone
out in a remote corner of the desert.
album “Kanoka”, which contains 15 new songs produced by
Grammy winning Texas legend Lloyd Maines (whose
daughter Natalie is the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks). The
new album also features Maines on pedal steel guitar. The
new release came out last week and is already getting lots of
airplay around the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia.
Brian and Marty think of themselves as a duo who play
“Celtic Soul and American Roots.” However, on Kanoka the
pair have left their Irish roots behind and crafted an honest to
goodness country album.
Augmented by Lloyd Maines on pedal steel and the big-sky
country harmonica work of Howard Levy (a founding
member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones), Kanoka is a
vagabond’s journey aboard a boxcar across the heartland of
the United States.
Kanoka is Switchback’s 13th release of a partnership that
spans 27 years. FitzGerald and McCormack met in 1986 when
they were chosen by Terrence “Cuz” Teahen to join his traditional Irish group. They later formed the Wailin’ Banshees,
but a mutual appreciation of such American artists as Joe Ely,
Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Rodney Crowell eventually led the
pair to leave the Banshees and form Switchback in 1993.
This party will mark the Canadian debut of Switchback’s new

THANK YOU
Heartfelt Thank You: Michael
Hooper, 70, of Richards
Landing, passed away very
peacefully on June 1, 2013. I
want to thank the many people
who made the last 3 weeks
much easier on me. The EMS
who responded twice, Dr.
MacLean, Dr. Beller, and the
nurses at Matthews, who helped
in many ways and to get
Michael into my van for the
drive to Alliston, Ont. To the
Trefry Centre who provided
rides to the Soo and Meals on
Wheels. To the many friends
and neighbours who came to
the house with food and good
wishes; it meant so much to me.
I am so proud to be part of our
Island hospitality. Florian

without question, a huge thank
you to my heavenly Father who
