Chapter of Rose Croix
Brethren,
Welcome 2015! Thanks to all of
the men who agreed to be the Chapter
of Rose Croix officers for the coming
year! Congratulations on your Installation! I am looking forward to a productive and rewarding year for all
of us at Fresno Scottish Rite.
Thanks to the members of the Clinic Board and
especially the Chairman of the Board, Brother Jim Wilson II, 32° KCCH, who did a wonderful job of organizing the Scottish Rite Children's Christmas Party this
year. Richard Haggerty was our Santa, with help from
the Job's Daughters Bethel #49, the Visalia Assembly
and Heart of the Valley Assembly of Rainbow Girls the
party was very well attended and a huge success.
The Chapter Rose Croix is mailing Get Well and
Encouragement cards to the brethren that are under
the weather or in the hospital. If you know of a brother
or a family member of a brother who is ill or needs encouragement, please contact me at revitz61@gmail.com
or 559 381-6431 or call the Scottish Rite office with the
information so we can let our Brethren know we are
thinking of them.

From the Commander,
Brethren,
I thought the Installation of the
2015 Officers was particularly inspiring
with Ill. Frank Loui, 33°, our Sovereign
Grand Inspector General, participating in
the ceremonies. I also thought it was interesting that three of the four Masters of the Lodges of
Scottish Rite that were installed for 2015 are Past Potentates
of Tehran Temple here in Fresno. It is always comforting to
work with Masons of proven leadership - we are going to
have a great year! A big “Thank you” to the team of volunteers who made the installation run smoothly and supplied
the refreshments after the installation. The day was perfect!
The December stated meeting was interesting as it
was my first time to sit in the East at the Fresno Scottish Rite
Building. The new sound system will take a little getting
used to with all the feedback and reverberation. I thought
all the new Masters had spent some time with their lines
before the meeting and gave an excellent presentation to the
body.
With the alignment of several local Masonic Lodges still in the wind, a publishable list of actual Lodges is still
in the works. Once this list is finalized, I will be asking for
volunteers to accompany me as we visit each lodge in our
jurisdiction in an effort to encourage Masons to join our
Scottish Rite ranks. Feel free to tap me on the shoulder and
suggest a Lodge you would like to visit!
Come join your friends at the January Dinner and
State Meeting!
Fraternally,
Ron Obernolte, 32°

From the Chieftain
Knights of St. Andrew
Brethren, I am honored to introduce the Officers of
the Knights of St. Andrew for the year of 2015:
Chieftain – James L. Green, 32°
st
1 Vice Chieftain – Talon Waite, 32°
2ndVice Chieftain – Ricky Oliver, 32°
Scribe – Jack Westmoreland, 32°
Marshall of the Order - Mike Abu-Hamzy
I am excited to take the reins of this elite
group. The officers and I will do our best to modernize
the traditions and give them some structural depth.
Also, as this group is one of the public faces of the
Scottish Rite Bodies, we will be implementing Blue
Lodge and Masonic Youth Club visits to help raise
awareness. The Knights of St. Andrew will also be
launching a “Family Night Out” event to take place
every couple months. Our goal is to re-involve the
existing Members of the Scottish Rite and bring future
hopefuls in, to show them what we’re all about. We
look forward to this bringing a new wave of young and
dedicated masons to our ranks.

Chieftain,
Tom’s Talks
Michael is on a roll today. Mom will sell
him for a quarter or trade him for a soda. He has had one of
those days at school. It started sometime in the morning walking
out of the classroom, hitting a classmate at recess, refusing to
eat lunch and finally threatening to hit his teacher. His Mom
brought him to the Clinic tired and at her wits end. She did not
say it but, I know she felt relief that "he is yours for the next
hour".
Michael can be a loving, attentive, cooperative, and hard
working child. Michael has auditory comprehension problems
and often explodes when he does not understand what he is
asked to do. He is embarrassed by his failures. One of the problems with kids like Michael is they do not know what they missed
or how to fix the problem. When Michael arrived at school he
missed the teachers instruction about what was going to happen
and what he needed to do. They were going to have a spelling
test. Michael did nothing the teacher had communicated to the
class and she corrected him. He saw it as a slight, being picked
on, rejected and embarrassed by a teacher he adores; and a
teacher who also adores him.
When Michael has had a bad day our first approach is to
ask him to tell us what happened then rehearse how he could
have handled it differently. Children with auditory comprehension
and attention deficits often have had so many bad experiences
they cannot emotionally recover and do not have the skills to tell
us what happened. Michael simply felt disrespected by the tone
of the teacher’s voice when she tried to help and redirect him.
How often have we felt that way? The event blew out his whole
day, we practiced how he could have handled it differently.
Michael went smiling to the waiting room to go home with
Mom and blurted out, "Sorry Mom!”, gave her hug and said, “Lets
go." Moments later mom texted, "What happened ?" I texted
back, "Just listened to find out why he was mad and we practiced
a better way to have handled it."
It made me wonder, do we listen enough?

From the Master of Kadosh,
Fresno Consistory
Brethren,
Thank you for electing me Master of Kadosh of the Fresno Consistory.
I am honored to serve as one of the
four Masters of Fresno Scottish Rite, for
2015.
Congratulations to my line officers, elected and
appointed. I thank you for accepting your positions. I
look forward to working with all of you. Hope you will
all attend the Advisory Conference meeting on the second Monday of each month and the stated meetings on
the third Monday of each month; especially when we
are the host lodge. (April, July and December)
I will be working closely with Chairman Bernie
Hollenbeck, on Education and Americanism and also
on the Scholarships. These are great programs and the
Scottish Rite is proud with what we do with each of
them.
I will again be chairman of the annual Dinner
Auction for the Children’s Language Center. We have
a new venue in 2015. The Dinner and Auction will be
held at the Sunnyside Country Club on Saturday, August 1, 2015. This is a beautiful place for our event.
Please mark your calendar. It is never too early to start
getting donations for the live and silent auctions down
to the Scottish Rite office. (New items only.)
Looking forward to a great 2015.
