SPRING CLASS TO BE NAMED FOR ROGER C GAUL, 33° The Valley of Cambridge has named its Spring 2014 Class for Roger C Gaul, 33°. Illustrious Brother Gaul was raised a Master Mason in Shade River #453 at Chester, Ohio in 1963 and served as Master in 1990. Roger joined the Valley of Cambridge with the Fall Class of 1991, served as Most Wise Master of Rose Croix in 2011/2012, and received his 33° in 2005 at Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is a member and past presiding officer of the York Rite Bodies of Middleport, Ohio. He is a Knight York Grand Cross of Honour, a member of the Red Cross of Constantine, the Ohio College of Societas Rosicruciana in Civitatibus Foederatis, Order of Eastern Star and a variety of other appendant masonic bodies. He was the York Rite’s Most Illustrious Grand Master of Royal & Select Masons of Ohio in 2003 and Grand Governor York Rite College in Ohio. He served for 11 years on the Eastern Local School Board and is now president of the Meigs County Health Board. Roger was born in Chester, Ohio, is retired from E I Dupont after 37 years as a mechanic and supervisor, and restores/collects antique Allis Chalmers tractors. Roger and his wife Paula live on a farm near Pomeroy, Ohio and he is the father of a son, Roger II, and a daughter, Lea Ann, and five grandchildren. The Valley of Cambridge is happy and honored to name their 2014 Spring Class for Roger Gaul, 33° in recognition of his many years of service to masonry and his community.
The first dues notices were sent out in
October and the second dues notice in mid
January. I am still working on addresses as we get
returned mail not only from the dues notices but
also from the Valley News and Views and the
Northern Light. The newsletters are not forwarded
but they come back to us. Each of them gets some
attention but at times you can spend a lot of time
looking and still not have an address. It is possible
to update your address and e-mail on line. Dues
can also be paid on line and each year more and
more members are taking advantage of this
service. Actually when I talk with our printer who
also does our mailing we are not in bad shape with
our address list, but it continues to be something
that needs work. Thanks for your help.
The Grand Masters One Day Class will be
April 5. I think that is the date in most, if not all, of
the Masonic Districts. Hopefully there will be more
than a few new masons who will want to affiliate
with the Scottish Rite. The Spring Reunion will be
April 12 and it will be a one day reunion. We seem
to have had nice classes for one day reunions and
hopefully this spring will see
a nice class also. In this
newsletter is a petition and
if you need more just let me
know. Blank petitions we
have and candidates we
need.
We are trying to get
this newsletter in the mail so
that it might get to you before the March 10
Degrees and Dinner at Lafayette #79. It may or
may not make it. Bulk mailings are not at the top of
the priority list for the postal service. Hopefully if it
gets to you in time you will give us a call, for a
reservation, and be in attendance. The first time at
Marietta and last year at Newcomerstown we had
good turnouts, good food, and a great time. We
sent an invitation to about 400 of the Valley’s
members with a Muskingum County mailing
address. Hopefully they will take this opportunity to
witness a couple of degrees and a free meal. See

SECRETARY (Continued)
On May 12 The Valley will have their
installation of officers for 2014/2015. This event is
scheduled for the Masonic Lodge in Cambridge
and will be an open installation. Page 5 in the
lower right hand corner has more information.
Hopefully you and your spouse can be with us as
we install the new officers and say “job well done”
to some of the officers who have completed their
time in office. Reservations will be needed. We try
to keep the cost as low as possible with the hope
that members will attend.
Charles Paine, 33° the Valley’s Degree
Director recently pointed out to me that many
Valleys have a Choir to compliment their degree
work. He is looking for Valley members who might
want to be a part of this new endeavor. If you have
any interest please let me know and I will pass it
along to Charles.
At the top of Page 2 is the information on
the Abbott Scholarships. Each year there seems to
be one of two applications that are not considered
for one reason or another. The most common
issue is the FAFSA form. This is a multipage form
and what we sometimes get is the e-mail
confirmation that the form has been filed and we
have received worksheets. This is not the FAFSA
form and they will not be considered. Another item
is the letter of recommendation. I suppose that
your next door neighbor could be considered an
“advisor” but what we are looking for is an
“Academic” instructor, counselor, or advisor. Lots
of luck with your application but please remember
to sign the form. Also we only need the original
application. Our copier works very well. Sincerely and fraternally Tom Fisher

SPRING 2014 VALLEY NEWS AND VIEWS PAGE 5
We recently celebrated our 13th anniversary at a Valentine's dinner/dance hosted by the Guernsey Chapter #211 OES and Guernsey #66 F&AM. There is much to celebrate. Conducting 14,500 tutoring sessions and tutoring 250 children over 13 years is notable. These children’s lives have been enriched through the generosity of the Masonic groups. We thank the Valley of Cambridge, the Eastern Stars and the Masonic Lodge for supporting us from the beginning.
A new incentive This spring we intend to offer area teachers an opportunity to participate in our Orton-Gillingham training. This will be similar to the Columbus Dyslexia Center partnership with the Westerville School District mentioned in the November Northern Light and we may have grant funding. Why would teachers be interested in this rigorous training?
• There are bills in the Ohio Legislature; HB 96, HB 157, and also in the U.S. Congress; H.Res. #456, that recognize the need for teachers to address the needs of dyslexic children. Google: Cassidy house resolution 456 for more information.
• The Scottish Rite Orton Gillingham program has the necessary approval and accreditation to provide training mandated by these bills.
• The skills teachers learn will be helpful as the Ohio Third Grade Reading Guarantee is implemented.
T h e t u t o r i n g environment at the Dyslexia Center is unique and beneficial for all concerned. Teachers have the benefit of working one-on-one with children in a supervised practicum in the Dyslexia Center environment. They will be implementing and practicing their new skills under the guidance of experienced tutors. With this certification, they will be “ahead of the curve” as the movement to recognize the needs of dyslexic students gains momentum.
From the Scottish Rite’s perspective: A major part of the Scottish Rite mission has always been to provide our tutor-training program to public and private school teachers. Our expertise is gained from hours of work over the past 13 years and we are anxious to share what we have learned with area teachers during this endeavor.
Welcome 'ome mate! We eagerly await the return of our very first Dyslexia Center Graduate who spent last year in Australia. Join us at our graduation ceremony on May 22 at the Masonic Lodge on Wheeling Ave. at 6:00pm to hear of her successes down under and our students successes right here in Cambridge. Again, we thank you all for your support. Jen Navicky, Director

There are still two opportunities for Scottish Rite Masons of the Valley of Cambridge to attend
performances in the Auditorium at no charge.
On March 26, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. the Cambridge Lions Club will present their variety show. The show is entitled “Marvelous MoTown & More” and I am sure the music will be entertaining. The interruptions and antics will produce surprises and more than a few laughs. On May 15, 2014 at 7:30 p.m.the Cambridge Singers will present their show entitled “Through
the Years”. This is the Cambridge Singers 50th annual show and will feature music from that time
period. The Cambridge Singers are supposedly the oldest mixed chorus in Ohio. These shows are
always well attended and the community’s support has been excellent.
The Cambridge Lions Variety Show and the Cambridge Singers Spring Show are both excellent
entertainment. I hope you will consider being in attendance and having a good time. After all, it is free
and as a member you are part owner of the Auditorium.

I, the undersigned, do hereby promise on my word of honor, and swear true faith, allegiance, and fealty to the Supreme Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the Thirty-third and Last Degree of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States of America, sitting at its Grand East in the town of Lexington, Massachusetts, of which the Illustrious John Wm.
