nually, by written ballot, at the fi rst Stated Communication in Novem-ber: a Master, Senior Warden, Junior Warden, Treasurer and Secretary; also Trustees if provided for in its By-Laws.

Every eligible Lodge member has a right to choose the elected of-fi cers for his Lodge, but you need to attend Lodge in November to be able to cast your ballot. So, why not ballot? If you need a ride to Lodge, give the Lodge a call and request transportation.“Grand Lodge Messages”

Over the course of the past three years there has been a repeat of several Edicts issued by the respec-tive Grand Master, itemized as follows:(1) Ritual Use During Opening and Closing: In order to continue the improvement in profi ciency of Lodge Opening and Closing, the three principal offi cers — the Master and two Wardens — will not have an open Ritual book at their sta-tion. This obviously requires some memory work, but it also fi ts into my theme for the year which is “Excellence by Example.” We each need to muster up some personal initiative with a “can do” attitude to improve ourselves in Masonry as suggested by our Obligation.(2) Rental Agreement Contract: One standard Rental Agreement form was adopted for all Constitu-ent Lodges for their use in renting their facilities. This was especially necessary where the use of alcohol

Lodge mem-bers attend Lodge regu-larly. I know it is not 100 percent. If it is 10 percent, that means approxi-mately 8,500 Blue Lodge members neither hear the “Code Reading” as requested in each of the

Stated Meetings, nor do they hear any important messages coming out of the Grand Lodge Offi ce.

Grand Master’s Message: Elections & Edicts

We began this year’s Masonic & Eastern Star Home Board on

a sad note. Normally the Immediate Past Worthy Grand Matron is elected as vice-chairperson of the Board. This year, however, with the passing of Sis-ter Carolyn Beecher, we were not able to follow tradition.

The Worthy Grand Matron, Sister Anna Knecht, graciously accepted the position of vice-chairperson of the Board. She also appointed Sister Judy Rooth, the Grand Conductresss, as the third voting member of the Eastern Star, along with Sister G. Ann Thomas, the Associate Grand Matron.

The Masonic members of the Board are myself, Richard A. Martin, I.P.G.M.; M.W.B. Hunt M. Compton, Grand Mas-ter; David H. Fryday, Deputy Grand Master; Mike Wick, Senior Grand Warden; and Donald F. Stapleton, Junior Grand Warden. We held our fi rst meeting on June 9, 2012, immediately following Grand Lodge in Seaside.

As many of you know, we had per-haps the largest change to the Home/ Jennings McCall Center since its inception in the 1920s. Aidan Health Services assumed the operation and administration of the Jennings Mc-Call Center. This, of course, resulted in many personnel changes, including dismissing the executive director and hiring a new administrator and health services coordinator.

The new administrator, Mr. Channon Larson, has been responsible for the

was to be served. Use of the stan-dard Rental Agreement Contract will insure the Lodges are in compliance with specifi c Resolutions pertaining to Services and Consumption of Al-cohol in Masonic Lodges. It is also more effi cient when one standard form is used. The contract may be found on the Grand Lodge website.(3) Lodge Historical Update: To get a jumpstart on the next volume of the History of The Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Oregon, from 2000 to 2050, Lodges have been requested to provide an update covering the years 2000 through 2012.

No information has been provided to the Grand Historian during these 13 years, and yet this Jurisdiction has surrendered 31 charters so far during this time. One charter was arrested and 30 were consolidated.

I especially want these 31 Lodges to be recognized in our History Book, as well as any of the impor-tant “milestones” any of our Lodges feel the general public should be aware of.(4) Clandestine Body: There are two Sections in our Code Book — Sec-tion 5 and Section 213.24 — that address and defi ne the issue of Clandestine or Irregular Bodies.

One such body that meets the defi nition is The Grand Priory of the Reformed and Rectifi ed Rite of the U.S. of A. (Grand Priory). The Grand Priory was issued a Charter by the Grand Priory of Occitania, which itself is a separate and irregular Ma-sonic Body because it was issued a Charter by an irregular Masonic group in France. Consequently, the Grand Priory became a Clandestine Body in this Jurisdiction.

The Grand Encampment of Knights Templar is a national orga-

nization overseeing the York Rite.There is a direct link between the

York Rite, Knights Templar and Grand Encampment.

The Grand Encampment has recently fully embraced — as an ap-pendant and concordant body — the Grand Priory.

“I’m sorry; what did you say?”I said the Grand Encampment has

recognized a body that this jurisdic-tion has classifi ed as Clandestine or Irregular!! There will be updates on this issue to follow.

Attending Lodge is more than listening to a Code Reading or any message put out by the Grand Lodge. It is a meeting with Brethren who have similar ideals and convic-tions. It is a time to demonstrate and execute a theme of Excellence by Example for our own self-improvement in Masonry. Attend Lodge when you can.

Respectfully and fraternally,Hunt M. Compton,

Grand Master 2012-2013

day-to-day operation and execution of policies and procedures for the Jen-nings McCall Center since the begin-ning of the year.

The MESH board took this step to streamline operations, provide the best care possible to all residents of Jennings McCall, and ultimately gener-ate a profi t after decades of losing money at the Masonic & Eastern Star Home at Jennings McCall. The deci-sion was made after several years of discussion, obtaining bids from many management companies, visits by the Board to comparable facilities and asking the Great Architect of the Universe for His wisdom.

The transition — a little rough at times — is beginning to take shape. Aidan Health Services, in conjunc-tion with the MESH Board, held several meetings with the residents earlier this year with positive results. In September, the MESH Board met with the residents, without the pres-ence of Aidan. At that meeting, there were many issues documented by the MESH Board and reported back to Aidan Health Services. Those issues have been addressed and corrections made wherever possible. The MESH Board plans to have additional meet-ings with the residents in the future.

For the last year or so, the Board has been considering converting a portion of the Center into a memory care unit. This would allow residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s to remain at Jennings McCall rather than transfer to another facility. The design work for the memory care unit is cur-rently underway.

Now for the good news: For the past two months, Jennings McCall has been in the black! That hasn’t hap-pened for many a year and we look forward to continuing success.

Lodge History— by W.B. Jim Akers,

Grand Historian

History is the analysis and inter-pretation of the human past

that enables us to study continuity and change over time. It is an act of both investigation and imagination that seeks to explain how people have changed over time.

Historians use all forms of evi-dence to examine, interpret, re-visit and reinterpret the past. This includes not just written documents, but also oral communications and objects such as buildings, artifacts, photographs and paintings. They are trained in methods of discover-ing and evaluating these sources — and the challenging task of making historical sense out of them. Nev-ertheless, historians don’t always agree on interpretations of the past.

History prepares us to live more humanely in the present and to meet the challenges of the future because it provides us with an understanding of the human condi-tion. It’s a means of disseminating and comprehending the wisdom and folly of our forebear’s while it fulfi lls our desire to know and un-derstand ourselves and our ances-tors.

History allows one to vicariously experience countless situations and conditions, which stimulates the imagination and creativity of histo-rians.

Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself, and as a way of providing perspective on the problems of the future.

Our identity as Masons must include work on ourselves both as individuals and as a brotherhood.

With Thanksgiving in sight, can Christmas and the New Year be far away? Time to think about those end-of-year donations to make your 2012 tax burden a bit lighter.You can send your donations for the Masonic & Eastern Star Home Endowment Fund to 2150 Masonic Way, Forest Grove, OR 97116.Donations to Home Endowment remain permanently in the fund and are never spent.

POMC marks Remembrance DayBy M.W.B. Rich Martin, P.G.M., & Janet Martin, P.G.L.

September 25th was a National Day of Remembrance for Murder

Victims. At Mt. View Cemetery in Oregon City, the Oregon Chapter of Parents of Murdered Children marked the day with music, words of comfort and the reading of victims’ names.

This annual event is held for many reasons. Yes, it is a day to be with our loved ones among family and friends; and to remember those who were taken from our lives at a young age.

It is a day to be with others who also endure the loss and heart-ache of losing some-

one to violence — taken from us by someone else.

It is hard to imagine the day when it happened. We think it is a terrible mis-take; they must have the wrong name, the wrong address. Unfortunately it does happen to some of us, and we still grieve and are never the same to carry on with our lives.

The National Day of Re-membrance started with a bagpiper, the presenta-tion of colors and the National Anthem. There were many area speak-ers, including John Foote, District Attorney for Clackamas County; Hardy Myers, retired Attorney

General; and Steve Doell, president of Crime Victims United, who also lost a child to violence.

A poem was read and then chimes were sounded. Each victim’s name was read aloud for all to hear, then the chimes sounded again.

A family from Canada laid a wreath at the podium for their son who had come to Oregon to help the homeless. His life was taken as he tried to give back to our com-munity.

At the conclusion of the ceremony many Monarch butterfl ies were released and they fl ew freely among the audience and the trees.

Two hundred people attended, including three Past Grand Masters and their wives and past and cur-rent Grand Lodge Offi cers and their

Bagpiper Daniel DelMain begins the service by playing ‘Amazing Grace.’

Ring raffl e tickets will be available soon

Grand Master Hunt M. Compton is wearing a very special ring

this year — a 14 karat gold Past Master’s ring.

The ring was given to the Oregon Ma-sonic Chari-table Founda-tion by Cathy O’Malley — assistant to the Director of the National Masonic Foundation for Children — and her family. This was a gener-ous gift and we are pleased our Most Worshipful Grand Master has agreed to add historical value to the gift by wearing it to all of his offi cial functions.

The ring will be raffl ed off and proceeds will help support the Masonic Model Student Assistance Program. Tickets are $5 each, and only 1,500 tickets will be sold.

A bound book of photographs, documenting the journey of the ring — and the Grand Master — will accompany the prize-winning ticket.

Grand Lodge offi cers will have the tickets soon.

It’s not what we don’t know that hurts, it’s what we

know that ain’t so.— Will Rogers (1879-1935)

Good judgment comes from experience, and

experience comes from bad judgment.

wives. We are so appreciative of all the support we received to help raise funds for this memorial.

The plan is to have several water-falls and columns at each end of the monument. It truly will be a beauti-ful place to visit and be at peace with the beauty around it. Our hope is to have it completed as soon as possible. Since the dream started some of the material costs have gone up, so it is taking longer than we thought to complete.

The chapter of POMC is such a comforting group; one that is there for us when we need to talk, cry or just sit with someone.

The chapter persevered to help all of us with a dream — this memorial garden to honor our loved ones — and the dream came true this sum-mer. The garden is a reality.

The area has been cleared and the cement walls are taking shape. The names are engraved and when the time is right they will be placed on the walls.

We hope you can take the time to view it for yourself. It truly is a lov-ing tribute to — unfortunately — so many.

Respectfully, Rich and Janet Martin,I.P.G.M. & P.G.L.

its “traveling gavel.” W.M. Raycraft would like to claim it for Tuality Lodge before the end of the year and he only needs fi ve volunteers to attend a Stated Communication of Holbrook with him. His goal is to bring this full circle and return it to Union Lodge with a visit from Tuality. We hope Tuality members are able to swoop in and rescue the Unity gavel.•Evergreen Lodge No. 137 (Seaside) At the Tuesday, Oct. 2, Stated Communication of Evergreen Lodge R.W.B. Jim Robinson, District Deputy of the Grand Master No. 1, was pleased to present W.B. Donald Methven with his 60-year pin.

This was a bit belated, as W.B. Don has actually served the Fraternity for 62 years. He was initiated and raised in Multnomah Lodge No. 1 before he moved to Seaside. Don’s wife Jackie was there to witness the presentation.

All food ordered and accompanied by a fl ier distributed in the trestleboard would give the Lodge 50 percent of the amount of a food order.

This is a great way to raise funds, giving the restaurant increased busi-ness and publicity, giving families a night out for dinner and putting funds into the Lodge coffers.

Is there a business in your com-munity that might participate in something similar to this?•Bandon Lodge No. 130 raised its newest Master Mason, Jeffery L. Scott, on Sept. 27. All the Lodges from District 16 were represented — Bandon, Chadwick No. 68, Myrtle No. 78, Port Orford No. 170 and Sidney Croft No. 206 — along with North Bend Lodge No. 140 from District 14. Bandon’s Worshipful Master Jerry Earls thanked everyone and said, “It was absolutely amaz-ing to be a part of the effort.” He also thanked the Brethren of North Bend “who traveled so far that night in support of a new Brother.” Good work!•Cornerstone Lodge No. 157 (Portland) planned its Annual Stew Feed on Oct. 17. Judging by past events like this, it was likely to be a big success.

Eric Headley, Worshipful Master, has told the Brethren he would welcome “suggestions, ideas and even past successful ventures to aid in fundraising.” A lot of money is needed to have “a long-term plan to have our building be accessible to everyone in our Masonic family.” - www.cornerstone157.org.

•The Edict on History, as ex-plained by R.W.B. Duncan Tucker, District Deputy No. 11, in the Mid-Valley Trestleboard: “The Grand Master only wants the period of history from 2000 to 2012; 13 years. The Grand Master states he doesn’t want the monthly details of meet-ings, but the signifi cant decisions and changes to the Lodge. Some that he suggests are major building issues, exhumation of ancient sub-surface oil tanks, cemetery vandal-ism, consolidation(s) or any item of an infrequent or abnormal circum-stance (i.e., the destruction of the second fl oor of Jefferson’s building during the Columbus Day storm).”

“So form a committee to as-sist your Master in reviewing the events of the last 13 years, looking for major improvement or events. The Grand Master states, ‘… what-ever the Lodge wants the public to know that may be unusual or civic-minded.’ That could be educational grants, assistance to schools, Child ID programs, parades organized, community groups honored by the Lodge, the organization of youth groups, developing or assisting a Food Bank, etc. There are many possibilities.

“Remember it’s due in February, 2013.”•Tuality Lodge No. 6 (Hillsboro) W.M. Fred Raycraft thanked the Brothers who helped with the Rain-bow Crowning Ceremony at their installation. “I know our support is appreciated by these young ladies,” he noted.

In the Lodge Trestleboard he also remarked that he had discov-ered that the Brethren at Holbrook Lodge No. 30 (Forest Grove) at-tended a meeting at Union Lodge No. 3 in McMinnville and left with Continued on page 7

It’s time for wishes on ‘OutReach giving tree’

As we gather around the Thanks-giving table this month, giving

thanks for our many blessings, our thoughts may wander to the holiday ahead as we consider special gifts for family and friends.

“Family” includes our Masonic Family. Please think of the neediest OutReach recipients this holiday season and consider answering one of their “wishes.”

The second annual Giving Tree will be set up at the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove and will anonymously grant wishes for our Masonic and Eastern Star Brothers and Sisters.

These members may have no family with whom they can share the hol-idays, or they may have limited income and/or poor health. All of these make the holidays diffi cult.

What a wonderful gift this would make for that “hard-to-shop-for-person” on your list! Perhaps you know someone who has everything they need. Wouldn’t they be happy to know that your gift to them gave happiness to someone else who re-ally needed a gift card, a warm coat or a gift of money to help pay an
