Do you know of a Blue Lodge Mason considering the path of the Scottish Rite?Here’s how it works:
New Scottish Rite Freemasons are often curious about how the degree system works. In Blue Lodge, they’re told the degree of Master Mason is the “Highest” or “Most Sublime” degree in Masonry. Now they are offered an additional 29 degrees, the 4° through the 32°, with the possibility of another, the 33°. They may be curious that they will receive the 4° right away, and only three other degrees needed to receive the 32°.
This may seem strange to a brother who has risen through the hierarchical progression of three Blue Lodge degrees. The Northern Masonic Jurisdiction offers the degrees of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite in a scheme called the “Bookend Concept.” It is intended to convey the primary goals of the AASR in the least possible time while giving the candidate an enticing taste of what the full cycle of degrees has in store.
The initial set of at least five degrees beginning with the 4°, followed by any three addi-tional “Core Value” degrees and ending with the 32°, entitles the candidate to full member-ship in the Rite. On Completion of his degrees he will be presented with a durable mem-bership card that will entitle him to travel freely to any regular Valley or Consistory where he may complete his “travels” from the 5° through the 31°. These additional degrees may be viewed in any order whenever they become available anywhere within the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. He may thus fill his “32” Passport with memories of the experiences gathered along with the dates and names of the places frequented during his quest to view the full cycle of degrees.
Fortunately, one does not have to travel far to complete this journey, as most degrees are likely to be portrayed within the confines of one’s own state, or even one’s own Consistory, over a period of a few years! If one is hard pressed for time, due to work, family, or other obligations, the degrees can still be completed during subsequent seasons because Passport stamps never lapse.
Please ask a Brother Blue Lodge Mason to come join us at the Spring Reunion so that he may experence the Further Light in Masonry offered by the worlds oldest fraternity.

FROM OUR SECRETARYBrethren, Spring has arrived in Ohio and we hope warmer weather is here to stay. One way to warm our spirits is to take part in the activi-ties planned by the Valley of Canton to provide inspirational and enjoyable events for our
members and their families. Our April 9,2015 Stated Meeting will feature the interesting program, warm camaraderie and good food and fellowship the Valley of Canton is famous for. The highlight of the month will be the 238th Reunion of the AASR, Valley of Canton, April 25, 2015 at the Canton Masonic Temple. The Spring Reunion honors Ill. and RWB Michael D. Cecil,33°, whose accomplishments throughout Freemasonry are an inspiration to all Masons in Ohio. An exciting Saturday of memorable events is planned for Candi-dates, Members and their families. Candidates and Members will enjoy coffee and donuts, lunch and a superb complement of ritual work, culminating with conferral of the 32°. The finale will be a superb dinner on Saturday Evening open to all! The highlight of the dinner will be recognition of those newly minted 32° Scottish Rite Masons and comments from our Honoree, Ill. Bro. Cecil. Plan on joining us for this mo-mentous event honoring an exemplary Mason and featuring Masonic Fellowship as everyone should have the opportunity to experience it. You’ll be glad you came. And so will we.Brethren, please remember that Scottish Rite begins in the Symbolic Lodges. Make sure the members of your blue lodge know what the Valley has to offer those seeking further light in Masonry. Make it a point to attend Inspections and other events and proudly proclaim your enthusiasm for Scot-tish Rite.The Officers and Trustees of the Valley are working hard to develop Inspirational, Convenient and Enjoyable activities for all of our Members. For these efforts to succeed all of us must participate! Let’s concentrate on making suggestions to the Officers as to enjoyable events and work at getting as many brethren as possible to come out and attend. And let’s make sure each of us has an ample supply of those handy pocket petitions.Hope to see all of you soon.James G. Fidler,33°Executive Secretary
MEMBERSHIPBirds are nesting. Grass is starting to push up. The days are getting longer. Easter is almost upon us. It must be time to think about the Spring Reunion!It is time to talk up Scottish Rite in your Lodges.
Encourage the Brothers to come out for the reunion and see what enjoyment they can have by being members. This Reunion will all be done in one day, from start to finish. Even the candidates’ orientation will be done Saturday morning, before the degrees start. We are trying to make this more convenient for the men who travel a long distance to visit the Valley of Canton. Everything will culminate in the confer-ral of the 32nd Degree and then a dinner with our ladies. It doesn’t get any more convenient than that. When was the last time you purposely sat with a Scottish Rite brother that was by himself, or who you had never met? You will probably be surprised to learn many interesting things about him and how you may actually have a connection with him. At our last stated meeting, I sat at the ice cream table with a fellow who was visiting with us for the first time and learned that we had many things in common. We both left that evening knowing that we each had made a new friend. My point is not to draw attention to myself, as I cannot say that I always take the time to sit with brothers that are new to me. It is that we often see Scottish Rite brothers sit off to the side at the stated meetings a few times and then we some-times do not see them come back. Brethren, each of us wants to be recognized and welcomed. We each want to contribute in some way to the Craft. We all need to make an effort to greet the new man, make him welcome, and invite him into an activity, or include him in a group he can be comfortable with. If you are looking to get your Scottish Rite passport filled, there will be many Reunions happening in April around the state and in Pennsylvania. If you go to the website for the Scottish Rite Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, you will see a listing by state for each Valley’s degree conferrals. You will see that the list just put up on the website this month is still waiting for updates from a few of the Valleys. Nonetheless, you will find plenty of opportunities to fill your passport in a very short time. No doubt you will be a welcome visitor and will be fed for your trouble! We hope to see you at the reunion, to support the candidates, Valley officers, and the entire team of men that it takes to stage, mike, dress, and portray a degree.Wes WebberMembership Chair

We are excited to let you know about three scholars who just completed the program and are now certified Orton-Gillingham tutors. The certification from Supreme Council is through IMSLEC, the International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council. This is the highest certification one can receive for tutoring children with dyslexia. All three scholars are teachers in the Perry Schools and are using what they have learned at the Children’s Dyslexia Center to help children learn to read. Each one has a special story.
Wendy: I am a full time teacher with the Perry Local Schools. It is there I teach second grade, serve as an RTI coach, and act as a grade level representative for our Build-ing Leadership Team. I love everything about teaching. It is my goal to challenge myself to teach effective, creative, and engaging lessons, thus it was my desire to be trained at the Canton Dyslexia Center in OG.
Having taken the OG training through the Canton Dyslexia Center has improved my teaching in so many ways. I find that in the leadership areas I serve in at Whipple, I am always using the knowledge I gleaned from Orton to help other teachers and their students as I share with them a variety of strategies for teaching multi-sensory and oral phonics. I constantly find that what I am asked to teach in the classroom lines up with OG lessons. Therefore, having the training has made it so I understand the importance and background knowledge to teach the lessons more effectively. I use the same strategies I use in my tutoring classroom and I know it has made me a better teacher, and my students better learners.
Being a certified OG tutor has also helped our building in being able to identify more students with dyslexia. Being a part of the teacher coaching here, I am in a position to offer some suggestions to parents and teachers when I see symp-toms related to dyslexia. We have been able to help at least 5-7 students in the last year seek a diagnosis for dyslexia through an outside source. We have also been able to provide OG lessons to students with severe reading gaps during our intervention times. This is all made possible because of the training received from the Canton Dyslexia Center.
Missy: The school year before I started my training for Orton-Gillingham I was searching for something to help me grow professionally and for additional resources to use with my students. My principal recommended Orton to me. At that time I was not aware of the amount of knowledge I would gain from the program. As I am finishing up my 100 practicum hours, I am grateful for everything I have learned through the Center for Dyslexia. Currently, I am a Title One teacher in Perry Local Schools. I provide reading interven-tion to around 30 students. I am fortunate enough to provide Orton to two separate groups of students for a total of eight students.
From the Children’s Dyslexia Center Adapting Orton to work with a group of students has been a challenge, but has been equally rewarding. My principal has decided that my groups will continue to receive Orton next school year to provide them the adequate amount of time to work through the program. Watching my students grow and their confidence build has been such an amazing experience for me.
Michelle: The concepts and strategies that I have learned through my training at the Dyslexia Center have been invalu-able. It has completely changed the way I teach. I incorpo-rate parts of the dyslexia lesson plan into each and every class from kindergarten through fourth grade. My kindergarteners love playing the “What Says?” game with the letter sounds they have learned. The students at every grade level like to set up their COPS so they can check their sentences and to write newly learned concepts in sugar. I use as much multi-sensory as I can with my students. I also have started incor-porating the spelling rules into my lessons so students know exactly why to use /ck/ at the end of a word or spell cat with a /c/ instead of a /k/. I have a fourth grade group of three I am using the actual dyslexia lesson plan. I have already seen improvement in the way they can decode a word. Prior to re-ceiving this certification, there was a student who struggled in my classroom. This prompted me to keep searching for ways to help struggling readers. I came across the Orton-Gill-ingham approach and luckily found the Children’s Dyslexia Center. I have learned this approach to teaching will help not only dyslexic students, but other struggling readers as well. That is why I have made it a part of my everyday routine in the classroom. I am thankful to the Center and all of the wonderful people I have met there.
The Canton Center program you support is far reaching and can touch the lives of many other children besides the ones who attend the Children’s Dyslexia Center

Masonic Emblem Cards: Victorian Tradition in a Fraternal World
The custom and etiquette surround-ing the use of calling cards in the United States was well es-tablished by the mid-1800s. Often simply printed with the
owner’s name, these cards formed part of an elaborate ritual of visiting friends’ and acquaintances’ homes. The timing of visits, who might leave a card for whom, and even folded card corners allowed people to send and receive socially coded messages. Although similar in form, the Masonic calling cards on view at the Van Gorden-Williams Library functioned somewhat differently. The Masons and printers referred to cards as em-blem and exchange cards; names that reflected both the cards’ decoration and their use. Most of the cards on view here were explicitly made for and used at Triennial Conclaves. These conventions of thousands of Masonic Knights Templar took place every three years. The gatherings often involved cross-country railroad journeys - called pilgrimages - of large groups of Masons and their families.

Driver FatigueWith just-in-time shipping schedules and a 24-hour work-place, driver fatigue is a major problem in industry today. Drowsy drivers are involved in many fatal traffic incidents, frequently taking occupants of other vehicles with them.
The statistics are staggering and the more time you spend on the road; the greater the odds are that you’ll be involved in such an incident. On-the-job driving involves heavy responsi-bility, so make sure you get enough rest to drive alert.
Here are some tips for staying awake and aware when you drive for your job, to and from work or on your own time:
• Get enough sleep before you drive. For most people, eight hours of sleep every 24 hours is about right, but everyone is different.
• If you have a choice, don’t drive during your normal sleep-ing hours. If you are accustomed to being asleep at 2 a.m. you could easily doze off behind the wheel at that hour.
• If you start to get sleepy, pull off the road in a safe place and take a nap. Be sure to lock your vehicle doors and be pre-pared to drive away promptly if your security is threatened.
• Plan your route with overnight accommodations or high-way rest areas in mind. Make reservations at a motel, or have alternative accommodation lined up. Vacationers can use sources such as an automobile association to locate rest areas. Planning these stops in advance keeps you from driving around tired looking for a place to spend the night.
• Eat lightly and often rather than larger meals. The meat and potato platter, dessert included, at the truck stop can make you sleepy.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages and other drugs. Even ordinary medications such as cold and cough remedies can contain ingredients to make you drowsy.
• Keep your vehicle interior fairly cool with plenty of fresh air.
• Shift position frequently. instead of remaining static for long periods of time.
• Take breaks at least every two hours. Walk around in the fresh air for awhile instead of just walking from your vehicle to a warm coffee shop. A fast paced walk around the rest area can do wonders to get your circulation going again to keep you alert.
• Switch with your co-driver every couple of hours. You can also ask your co-driver to stay awake to keep you company and keep an extra set of eyes on the road.
• If you are alone, use your radio, tape or CD player for company.• Keep your eyes moving. Look at the road and traffic far ahead, check your mirrors often and scan the sides of the road.
The STAR Method – Back Up What You Say You Can DoBy Monica Rose GwinOhioMeansJobs Centers in Stark and Tuscarawas Counties
Proof by example is a way of answering questions by not just saying what your skills or experiences are, but prov-ing them by using an example from your work history. It’s easy for a person to say they are organized and communicate well, but proof by example gives a real world example from your job history to back up what you say you can do. Amy Miller, Resource Center Manager/One-Stop Officer for OMJ Centers, explains how proof by example can be used in a job interview utilizing the STAR Method.“STAR stands for S – Situation, T – Task, A – Action and R – Result,” says Miller. When an employer asks you questions you should answer by using the STAR Method. For example, the employer may ask you to tell them about your communi-cation skills.First is the Situation: You should let the interviewer know what the framework of the example will be. Example: Our business department and sales department often contacted the same customers, but didn’t track conversations between departments.Next is Task: This is basically what needed to be accom-plished. Example: I realized in order to increase efficiency and communication, a method to link customers needed to be created.Then is Action. This is what you did to implement what needed to happen. Example: I realized both were using separate tracking databases that had very similar fields. I was able to create a spreadsheet that both departments could use that was on the company’s shared drive. This way they could look at each other’s contacts and check customer communi-cation.Finally is Result: What was the outcome of the action you took? Example: The use of the spreadsheet had improved not only communication between the units, but communica-tion with the customers, reducing the number of duplicative calls.Miller urges job seekers to use the STAR Method because it allows you to demonstrate to the interviewer that you can reinforce what you say you can do.• Check your instrument panel often, making sure your speed is within posted limits and not becoming erratic because of fatigue or inattention. Consider turning your instrument lights down low to keep your eyes adjusted to the darkness outside.What other things have you found to be successful in keeping you alert while driving?
Remember the only substitute for sleep is sleep. Short-term mea-sures may help you stay alert for awhile, but eventually you will need to sleep, even if you are behind the wheel of a vehicle.
