The team members have already had the first planning meeting at North 9 Steve Ankner Palm Beach Presbyterian Church. We have 43 team members and 12 Mary Painter will meet weekly at this church every Thursday evening until we 13 Susan Conrad go into the prison for our 3½ day intensive spiritual weekend 13 Joni Rhodes from March 19-22. 14 John Darlson 14 Karen Neff Kairos means “God's Special Time.” The weekend is based on the 15 Lelah Marzi Cursillo Program and was initially called Cursillo in Prison when it started right here in Florida at Union Correctional Institution in 15 Sharyn Sirkle Raiford, FL. There are over thirty inside prison teams in Florida 16 Joyce Menard alone. The program is an ecumenical one and volunteers come 17 Eric Kuegler from almost every Christian denomination in the world who 18 Pat Ball believe in the Apostle's Creed. 19 Barbara Vitale 21 Marilyn Serus Like Cursillo it is a lay program led by lay members. Clergy are also included; every discussion table has a clergy member. The 23 Wally Wallace objective of Kairos is to share the transforming love and 27 John Kittleberger forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and lives of 29 Pat Sacco incarcerated men, women and children as well as their families, 30 Janet Kempf allowing them to become loving and productive citizens of their 30 Brian Kolaci communities. 31 Chris Lycke Those of us who participate in this ministry, many have been doing it for 10-20 years, feel that not only do we help the residents, but we also get as much spiritually from this program as they do. These so often rejected members of our society get to feel hope for their lives. Somebody does really care about them. As we get closer to the date of our weekend, I will again be asking for your specific support in signing up to pray for us at specified times during the weekend, providing us with posters and placemats for our meals which has been done by our Sunday School children and for financial assistance if possible. Each member of the team is asked to give $150 toward the costs of the MARCH weekend. We provide the residents with meals throughout the time we are there. We also have women come in at the end to ANNIVERSARIES serenade the men which is overwhelmingly powerful. 20 Nancy & Leo Mercier I have given you a brief glimpse of what Kairos is and would be 29 Katherine & Harry glad to talk with you more about the program if you have questions. Kapple In God's love, Deacon Alan 2 All Saints’ Jensen Beach The Trumpet March 2020 ALL SAINTS’ ALTAR GUILD Much has been going on with the Altar Guld since my last newsletter in the Fall! Our church was beautifully decorated for Thanksgiving with flowers and harvest items. Moving quickly into the Advent Season, there were many members who helped to beautify our Sanctuary. Memorial donations as well as offerings for Thanksgiving nearly covered the costs for all the flowers, wreaths and decorations. Thank you for all the kind comments about our work. It is not an easy task to follow the handiwork of Diane Dougiello with her many skills. I am grateful for all her support, knowledge and history of the workings of the Altar Guild. January brought us the new beginning of not only the calendar year, but the Institution of Father Tony Holder. What a whirlwind of anticipation and inspiration as we awaited the date of January 12th and our new Rector! Decorating with white flowers throughout the church to complement the white vestments, all brass polished, all candles lit and an overflowing crowd into Houg Hall made for a most memorable day in the history of the “Little Church on the Hill”. I want to personally thank Ritchie Menard for the helpful work of securing all the contents of the church after the conclusion of the Service. I could not have done it without him as it was a full day of preparation and activities and his energy brought me renewed strength! After completing the formal Institution, Bishop Eaton asked the clergy to gather on the altar for a picture. Little did I know that I would be called into service to take the pictures! “You are my refuge and shield: My hope is in your word.” Psalm 119 At the Annual Meeting on January 19 th, Father Tony presented an idea for the congregation to consider concerning our vestments. Following the Liturgical Calendar many parishes, including my old hometown, use pink vestments at times in Lent and Advent. If you would like to contribute to the purchase of any of the items, from a chasuble that Father Tony wears, to the covering for the pulpit, lectern or altar as a Memorial or Thanksgiving offering (which can be inscribed with embroidery) please speak to me or Father Tony. Now as we come together for the Lenten Season, it is my prayer that you take the time to listen to the teachings of Christ and breathe in the peace that a Christ-centered life brings to your heart.

I will be offering classes for children in 2 nd grade or higher in preparation for their First Communion on Easter Sunday, April 12th. Beginning March 8th, we will meet every Sunday from 9:00 – 9:45 for 5 weeks, through April 5 th. Each week the children will begin to learn about, understand and prepare for the most highest form of prayer, the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Please let me know if you would like your child to participate. Just as a reminder, Easter will be on April 12 th. The children are invited to help flower the Easter Cross and have fun at our annual Easter Egg Hung after the 10:00 service. So save the date!

Plus, making friends and having fun is a fringe benefit! Karen Neff Children’s Christian Education Director 4 All Saints’ Jensen Beach The Trumpet March 2020 PEERING INTO THE PAST: 2000 The Annual Report published for the Annual Meetings seems like a pain in the neck at times, especially for those who have to write their annual summary. In retrospect, it tells the history of who All Saints’ each and every year. The Annual Report doesn’t tell us the context of what the county or Treasure Coast was going through at the time. It doesn’t give us demographics of the time for the parish. Despite all this, I hope you find this column worth a read. Below find highlights from the Annual Reports for the year 2000. Sr. Warden Continued to ask for prayers for the parish leadership & the Rector Worship Support 15 Lay readers & 2 Lectors 10 Lay Eucharistic Ministers Christian Education Nursery was run by “Moms, Dads and Grandparents” for a 2nd year Children’s Chapel for the 2 – 11 age group Pre-school class, ages 4-6 w/an average of 8 attending Younger Elementary Class 7-10 with 7 children Outreach T.R.U.E.

The Budget was presented and “… is much as it has been for the last few years.” No financial report for FY 2000 was published as part of the reports. Diocesan Assessment for 2001 $27,230.

  • The Ashley Gang: What Really Happened
    As published in Indian River Magazine, October 2007. Warren J. Sonne is a retired New York City police detective who later became a private eye. He is the author of “Criminal Investigations for the Professional Investigator,” and writes extensively on investigative issues. The president of Pinnacle Protective Services in New York, Sonne and his family in 2003 moved to St. Lucie County, where he also owns the Florida private investigation firm Sun State Investigative Services. The Ashley Gang: What really happened. A gumshoe follows the trail of the Ashley Gang 83 years after their shooting deaths to reveal who did what at the Sebastian Bridge and why. By Warren J Sonne Ed Register was just 7 when he was walking one morning with his father to the family’s barrel factory in downtown Fort Pierce and saw a crowd gathering outside Will Fee’s Hardware and Mortuary. The image has seared his memory for more than eight decades. “I wish my father never brought me there,’’ says Register, now 90. “ I was only 7 years old, but I remember seeing those dead bodies laid out on the sidewalk.” Register, who spent his professional career running chambers of commerce in Fort Pierce and Boca Raton, is surprised to hear from me. But as far as I can tell, he is the only living person who remembers that November morning in 1924 in which the four bodies of the Ashley Gang were laid out after being shot by lawmen at the Sebastian Bridge the night before. Nearly 83 years later, Register meets us outside the building on Second Street and Avenue A where Will Fee sold hardware and caskets, a commodity that made running a funeral parlor a natural side business.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis studies sailors who worked onboard British and North American slave ships between 1750 and 1808. Its starting point is the discrepancy between maritime historiography and that of the slave trade: in the former seamen appear as radical, anti-authoritarian figures who were far more accepting of black men and women than other occupational groups in this era. In slave trade literature, by contrast, sailors appear as shadowy figures ready to do the captain’s bidding, which generally meant abusing, maltreating and assaulting men and women of African origin. Through detailed analysis of the lives and working conditions of those who were lowly employees in the slave trade, it is possible to see that the much-vaunted radicalism of seamen as a group grew at least in part from their work onboard ‘guinea ships’.

Washington, D.C., May 18, 1907 Dr. Elwood Mead, Chief Irrigation and Drainage Investigations, Office of Experiment Stations, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. Sir: I hereby transmit a report of the field work done under my direction from January 20th to April 7th, on the Everglades drainage project. Unsigned instructions delivered to me on January 17th, by Mr. J.O. Wright, expert in drainage, of this Office, state that the object and purpose of the survey was- “1.) To determine the topography of the country lying south of township 41 so as to locate proper channels to carry the overflow of Lake Okeechobee to the sea along the natural and most practical routes. 2.) To determine approximately the extent, area, and character of the water that drains into Lake Okeechobee so as to calculate the discharge capacity of the channel or channels necessary to prevent the overflow of the lake. 3.) To determine the depth of muck and to locate the rim of the stone which encircles the lake or skirts or crosses the Everglades. 4.) To analyze the different kinds of soil found and determine their value for agriculture. 5.) Make plans and estimates of costs of a complete system of drainage.” A letter of January 31, signed by yourself, instructed as follows: “I would like to suggest that you keep a very full diary in which you will enter everything relative to the appearance and production of the country that you are going through.

  • 1911 the Ashley Gang and Frontier Justice
    The Ashley Gang and Frontier Justice The Ashley boys were a notorious gang of desperados that terrorized Florida's southeast coast for more than 15 years. Often violent, their crimes ranged from murder, bank robbery, hijacking, bootlegging and moon shining to piracy on the high seas. One of their specialties, however, was running liquor between West End in the Bahamas into the maze of hideouts south of Stuart. Florida was a frontier in those days with frontier sheriffs who sometimes solved crimes with frontier justice. John Ashley first came to the attention of the local sheriff in 1911, when he was accused of killing Desoto Tiger, the son of Tom Tiger, a well-known leader of the Seminole Nation. The two men had been trapping partners in the Everglades when Ashley came into town alone. A few days later, Desoto Tiger's body was uncovered by a dredge cutting the North new river canal from Fort Lauderdale to Okeechobee. Ashley sold the ninety otter hides the partners had trapped to a dealer in Miami for $1,200. Jimmy Gopher, another Seminole, told the sheriff that Ashley was the last man seen with Desoto Tiger. Palm Beach Sheriff George B. Baker dispatched two deputies to a Gomez neighborhood south of Stuart to arrest Ashley (Martin County was not created until 1925). www.jupiter.fl.us/history John and his brother, Bob Ashley, ambushed the deputies and sent them back with a message to Sheriff Baker, "Tell him not to send any more chicken-hearted men or they might get hurt." This slap at the Sheriff's men made it personal and started a feud that continued for years and finally ended at Sebastian River Bridge.
