hen asked to reflect, mostpeople are able to identify atleast one event that causeda major change in their lives.

For Sam Hornish, Jr., that eventundoubtedly was winning the 2006Indianapolis 500, which he won by pullingahead in the last 200 yards to win by anamazing 0.0635 of a second.

Sam, Jr. began his career by racing go-carts with the encouragement of his father,Sam, Sr. His whole family attends his races,and it has become very much a family affair.The same can be said for the Hornishinvolvement in Freemasonry. Sam, Sr.

has been a member of Bryan Lodge #215since 1982.

“Because of my uncle, I was alwayscurious about the Masons. He marriedmy mother’s sister and was a Mason inPennsylvania, a school teacher, and justa great guy. Unfortunately, like my dad,he died at an early age, in his 50s,” saidSam Sr.

Freemasonry reached the next generationin the Hornish family when Sam, Jr. wasraised in Omega Lodge #564 in Defianceon January 10, 2001.

“My main reason for joining was mydad. I’ve always been interested in the

fraternity. I joined in 2001 whenI was 21, and it’s pretty neatthat, since I’ve gone in a few ofmy friends, my uncle, and mybrother have joined,” said Sam,Jr. “I don’t know if they joinedbecause of me, but it’s nice tothink that you can help opensomeone’s eyes to thefraternity.” Sam, Jr.’s brother JonHornish and his uncle TimHornish were initiated, passed,and raised in Omega Lodge onthe same days in 2002. Jon is

currently Junior Warden and Tim is SeniorDeacon of Omega Lodge.

Worshipful Brother Mike Ketcham,secretary of Omega Lodge, commented thatall the Hornishs are very good at learningtheir parts in Lodge. Sam, Jr., Jon, and Timreturned their proficiencies and received thenext degree every two weeks.

“We’re proud of the work of Jon andTim as Lodge officers, and Sam, Jr. does asmuch as his hectic schedule will allow,” saidKetcham. “Sam, Jr. has helped at two of theLodge’s fundraisers in support of OhioSpecial Olympics.”

y brethren, as Grand Lodgeapproaches and my term asGrand Master is coming to

a close, I want to thank you for yourstrong and positive support of myprograms this year.

The district receptions were wellattended and what an honor it was tomeet so many brethren and ladies, as wellas present some very deserving awards toour youth and community recipients.

I have been impressed that lodges haveembraced my theme and, while I believemembers were always actively involved intheir communities, we just never let othersknow who we were as we volunteered andgave back to our churches, schools andneighbors. By practicing the Masonicprinciples we were taught inside the lodge,we will make a positive impression asindividuals and Freemasons to everyonewe meet.

We should proudly wear our Masonichats and shirts and identify ourselves asMasons and we will be promoting theFraternity as we do good work helpingour fellow man.

As I traveled throughout the state, Isaw firsthand the difference Masons aremaking. By exemplifying the tenants ofBrotherly Love, Relief and Truth andLiving the Principles of Freemasonryin our daily lives, we will make the goodworks of Freemasonry visible to non-Masons. The responsibility lies within eachMason to make the lodge once again anintegral part of each community.

I appointed MWB Steve Krekus aschairman of the Education Committeeto revitalize the education program byimplementing the Pillars Program through-out the state. I am pleased to report hehas worked tirelessly with committeemembers throughout the 25 districts tobegin the education sessions. Masonsof Ohio have provided positive feedbackthat this education program is vital instrengthening our Fraternity.The Ohio Masonic Home Day

Despite the changing weather, wehad a huge crowd celebrating with us at

our Ohio Masonic Home Day and theoccasional rain did not dampen our spiritsor stop the parade! No one could possiblyhave gone away hungry as there was everytype of food imaginable to enjoy and theMasons of Ohio showed their support tothe residents of our Ohio Masonic Homeby their attendance.

Ohio Special OlympicsI hope the nearly 400 Ohio Masons

who attended the Special Olympics openingceremonies reported back to their lodgeshow appreciatively the generous donationof $140,000 was received. The Masons ofOhio received a standing ovation from thethousands in attendance as we marchedonto the field to lead the parade, but Ican assure you the smiles on the faces ofthe athletes were far more meaningfuland brought tears to the eyes of even thestrongest Masons in attendance. It felt goodas a man and Mason to witness the resultsof the good work we do.

The 1974 newspaper article that followsis a timeless article and coincidently wasprinted the same year I first served asWorshipful Master of Cedarville Lodge#622. I feel it is still appropriate for Masonsof today and should make all Masons reflecton the legacy we will leave for the nextgeneration.What Have I Done With My Masonry?

The writer looks back over the longyears and his mind centers on the night

he was made a Master Mason. I realizedthen, and have realized throughout theyears that my Lodge and Masonry gaveme something precious, something thatwould enrich my life and make it possiblefor me to grow in heart and in mind.

Now, after the many years, I must stillask myself the question: What have I donewith my Masonry? I stress “my Masonry”because each brother is at liberty toreceive from Masonry all that his effortswill earn for him.

Have I applied the principles ofMasonry to every area of life, both withinand without the Lodge?

Have I used the Trowel generously andin the true spirit of Masonic Brotherhood?

Have I shown my gratitude for thehonor that was conferred upon me manyyears ago by attending the meetings ofmy Lodge and by being of some assistancein the work of my Lodge?

Have I actually done what I came todo – to improve myself in Freemasonry,which means in the Art of Living?

Have I so lived that others haveobserved the influence of Masonry in myown life?

Although the questions may remainunanswered, I know that from “myMasonry,” there has come to me anindescribable appreciation for the honorthat my brothers bestowed upon me thenmany years ago I became a Master Mason.

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

My brethren, this is a powerful messagethat could have been written by any Mason.It should remind all members of theFraternity to continually be mindful ofthe oath we took when we enteredFreemasonry. Are we meeting theobligation? If we do, I sincerely believewe will strengthen and grow ourmembership and pass the teachings ofFreemasonry to future generations.

Once again, I would like to take thisopportunity to thank each of you foryour support and the honor you havegiven me to serve as your Grand Masterthis past year. It has been a most humblingand rewarding experience, and I lookforward to thanking you in person at GrandLodge 2006.

he Browning Masonic Community,celebrating its 25th anniversary in2006, is the result of one Mason’s

vision and the dedication of many others.The Ohio Masonic Home’s Springfieldcampus had been in operation for nearly 30years by the time of Brother Otis AveryBrowning’s passing in 1923. A prominentToledo businessman and 32° Mason,Browning left a sizeable trust to build aretirement facility for Northwestern OhioMasons and their widows.

Browning’s trust required that the fundsgrow for 50 years after his death. When thattime came in the early 1970s, severalprominent area Masons were appointed toa Board to see that Browning’s vision of aretirement home in Northwest Ohio came

about. Illustrious Brother Paul Nyitray, 33°,admits wondering how the project wouldcome to fruition.

Farmland off Neowash Road inWaterville was selected as the site for theretirement community. Illustrious BrotherKen LeBay, 33°, said it was difficult earlyon to generate interest in the Browningcommunity.

“For many years, all you’d see at the sitewere crops and a sign that merely read‘Future home of Masonic Home,’” he said.

According to Brother Fred Bostleman,consideration was given to using the moneyfor projects other than a retirementcommunity. But that idea was quickly putto rest. Today, the planning period is viewedwith a mixture of frustration and joy. Not

everybody agreed with the project, accordingto Brother Nyitray. But it came togetherin the spirit of cooperation. Board membersused their contacts and areas of expertiseto make it all happen.

Brother Nyitray, who served asfundraising chair, said the support of theGrand Lodge helped considerably.

It took two years to build BrowningMasonic Community. When the facilityfinally opened in August 1981, there wasa great sense of accomplishment.

“A lot of Masons finally got recognition,”said Brother Bostleman. “They said ‘nowwe have a retirement community inNorthwest Ohio.’”

Brother Nyitray said partnering withThe Ohio Masonic Home in recent years“was the best thing that ever happened.”

“The attributes of Masonry have beenpassed on to Browning MasonicCommunity,” said Illustrious BrotherJack Hartzell, 33°, Chairman of theBrowning Board of Trustees.

“We’re here to serve our residents andwe will meet the needs of Masons forgenerations to come. Future plans arestill being developed. We own a lot ofland that can be used. Our residents callit ‘home’ and that’s what it is. They takepride in it.”

On September 30, an 11 a.m. re-dedication ceremony conducted by theGrand Lodge Officers will be held atBrowning Masonic Community, 8883Browning Drive in Waterville, followed bya luncheon and reception. The luncheon isfree of charge but reservations are required.

GRAND CHAPLAIN:(Excerpts from prayer

to open ceremony)


Despite 14 IndyCar Series wins and twodriver titles, the Indy 500 has never strayedfrom the top of Hornish’s list of goals.Before this year, in six starts at the Brickyard,the best he mustered was a 14th place finishin 2001.

When asked if there were any similaritiesbetween racing and lodge, Sam, Jr. replied,“In lodge, it’s not about one person; it’sabout working together with the wholegroup. With racing, the spotlight is on mebecause I’m the driver, but it takes the wholeteam working together to be successful.”

Brother Hornish recalls sitting with hisfather at the first turn at Indy in 1985, whenhe saw something that changed his life.Like any 5-year-old, little Sam saw the raceas an opportunity to get a close look at apileup. He can remember seeing a driveravoid a potential fiery collision, and thengo on to win the race.

“He pulls out of it and you realize there’smore to this racing thing than watchingaccidents,” said Hornish.

With such feelings, Sam Hornish, Jr.,recently was filmed for a public serviceannouncement by the State of Ohio askingpeople to drive carefully through highwayconstruction work zones.

He is full of brotherly love, wants todrive safely, but has a fierce determinationto be a winner.

Sam, Jr., is also a member of the ScottishRite, Valley of Toledo, and of Zenobia Shrinein Toledo.

Sam, Sr. is very proud of the fact thathis two sons and his brothers are Masons.When asked what it’s like to be the fatherof a famous son, Sam, Sr. replied, “I usedto be Sam Hornish, and now, I’m SamHornish’s dad.”

Hornish continued from page 1

Freemasonry and racing share the "team"approach, Sam Hornish, Jr., says.

HERE WE HAVE, with becomingceremonies, laid the cornerstone of abuilding, to be devoted to thematerial interests of the people of thisenlightened, cultured, and highlyfavored community. The generationsyet to come will gaze with pride uponthis structure, and under its shelterprosecute the work appropriate to itsseveral apartments. The enterprise,liberality, and wisdom of the men oftoday will not be forgotten. Futuregenerations will pay due homage toyour memories for this invaluableinheritance, and it will stand as aglorious monument of the estimateput by you upon the value of edu-cation, morality, refinement, justice,and religion, and may the GreatArchitect of the Universe shape theirminds to a still higher appreciationof these sublime themes.

Grand Master James M. Williamson,along with the Grand Lodge Officers,laid the cornerstone for a new schoolin Bridgeport on April 22. BridgeportLodge #181 hosted the event and wasnamed on the cornerstone. More than100 Masons from 25 different lodgesparticipated in the ceremony held inthe still-unfinished gymnasium.

Past Grand MasterRichard M. Wilsonpresided overa cornerstoneceremony on May21 at YorkvilleUnited MethodistChurch. Some45 Masons werepresent for theevent, which alsomarked the 100thanniversary ofthe church.

on and Ginny Muncy have madeThe Ohio Masonic Home’sSpringfield campus a more colorful

place for several years. Now as MasonicRetirement Village residents, they are makingart a part of daily life.

Don, a 61-year Mason with St. AndrewsLodge #619 in Springfield, is a painter andtaught art classes at The Home for sevenyears before becoming a resident. Ginny, a60-year Eastern Star member with NealChapter #522 in Springfield, does Ikebana,a form of Japanese flower arranging, whichshe has practiced for more than 45 years.The couple recently held their own exhibitand reception at the Lindner CommunityCenter on the Springfield campus. Morethan 33 of Don’s paintings and several piecesof Ginny’s work were on display forvisitors to enjoy.

Some may have seen Don’s artworkbefore without even knowing it. Severalpieces hang in various spots on theSpringfield campus, while others belongto churches and private collectors.

Don began painting after retiring in1977. He said he’d always been interestedin art, but the demands of his job as anair traffic controller manager neverallowed him to pursue it. He also hadno prior experience, save for somemechanical drawing knowledge from hisschool days. His philosophy is simple:

“When I see something I like, I paintit,” he said, smiling.

Don estimates he’s done about 200paintings since 1978. He does acrylicsand oils on watercolor. A variation isacrylic paste, almost like plaster, whichis sculpted with a carving knife to givea more textured look.

Don has won several awards for hisworks, with subjects ranging from people,to animals, to landscapes. Many of hispaintings were inspired by his travels.One, for instance, is of a water vendor

in the Kasbah in Tangiers. Another is of ayoung Indian boy dressed in traditionalcostume.

Don’s mother was a resident of theSpringfield campus for nine years and hebegan teaching a painting class on campusduring that time. The class continues to thisday and he has even been given his ownstudio in the former cafeteria on the firstfloor of Hillman Manor.

Tuesdays he teaches residents for threehours, and on Wednesdays he instructs staffmembers. He encourages people to try it ifat all interested.

“They can do it if they have a desire,”he said. “If you work at it, it’s not thatdifficult.”

Ginny learned Ikebana when Don was

stationed in Hawaii in 1960 with the FederalAviation Agency. Whereas Western flowerarranging is different, the Japanese Ikebanais based on three points – high, middle andlow. Ginny said one can be done in an houror less, but bigger ones take longer. At theexhibit, she had displays as well as a picturealbum filled with other samples of her work,which have also garnered awards andribbons.

The Muncys said they like to stay busyand that is the key to longevity.

“I will keep on painting and teachingfor as long as I can or for as long as mystudents can stand my critiquing,” said Don.

he aging process is no mystery. Itconsists of damages done daily tothe body. These add up as the years

pass. These damages have specific causeslike oxidating agents, sun beams, mechanicalwear and tear, psychological stress, lack ofsome nutritional components and too muchof others, like fat.

Another component of aging is thereduction of cell division in the body, slowingthe body’s ability to repair itself.

The factors causing aging also causeother diseases like cancer and coronary heartdisease. Both aging and these diseases can,to a great extent, be prevented with theknowledge possessed today. And thedamages can, to a great extent, be reversed.The components to achieve this are:

• Adequate daily food containing wholecereals, peas, beans, vegetables, fruit, fish,mushrooms, fowl, seafood and with justa moderate amount of red meat.

• Just a moderate amount of fat.

• Ideally, most fat one eats should bemono-unsaturated. The consumptionof saturated fat should be very little. Inorder to achieve the right fat balance,

most of the fat supply should come fromsources like olive, peanuts, canola, fish, nuts,sun-flower, etc.

• Just a very moderate amount of butter,margarine, corn oil, palm oil, sugar, refinedflour and refined cereals.

• Do not add more salt to the food thanyou need. Most people consume too muchsalt. However, some salt is needed. If theweather is warm and you are in highactivity, you need more salt than in coldweather and low activity. Prefer sea-salt,because of its content of valuable minerals.

• Just a moderate consumption oftranquilizers/stimulants such as alcoholand caffeine. In moderate amounts,these contribute to slowing down theaging process.

• No smoking or tobacco usage.

• Supplements of specific nutritionalcomponents like vitamins, minerals, lecitinand some essential fatty acids.

• Adequate training that gives a muscularload works up your condition and

stretches out your body. To stretch out,yoga-exercises are ideal.

• Adequate rest and stress-reduction. Dailymeditation is a method of achieving this.Natural relaxing agents or specific toolsfor meditation or relaxation may also beuseful.

• Supplements of specific anti-aging agentslike anti-oxidants or human growthhormone.

•Use of specific anti-aging agents to applyupon the skin’s surface.

• Protect the skin against excessive sunexposure.

• The amount one needs of nutritionalsupplements, like vitamins and minerals,differs very much according to a person’shealth condition, work load and exposureto environmental stress. A person havingpoor digestion doing high performancesports or being exposed to a high amountof environmental stressors, may need morethan a person in an average situation.

Lima Lodge member recognizedfor community service

John M. Bradshaw, a 25-year member of Lima Lodge #205, wasrecently featured in a story in the Lima News for his years of communityvolunteer service. Here are some excerpts from that story:

Bradshaw is constantly on the go volunteering his time for asmany things as he has hours available, and recently, as his health willallow. His dedication and unselfish giving of his time has earned hima nomination for the 2006 Jefferson Awards for Public Service. Heis a volunteer at Lima Memorial Health System and was nominatedby Lynn Carpenter, the hospital’s administrative director. Although he’s 75 and has had some heart trouble, he tries to notlet it slow him. Volunteering for Bradshaw began in the 1950s with the LimaJaycees. He worked 25 years as a volunteer emergency medicaltechnician for Bath Fire and Rescue, and was a special deputy forthe Allen County Sheriff’s Office, he said. Today, most of his volunteering is at Lima Memorial Health Systemwith the exception of helping out at church or other causes just aboutanytime someone needs a hand. He’s been at Lima Memorial for 10 years and takes great pride inhelping in areas such as the Therapy Garden that helps rehab patients.Bradshaw also helps transport patients to get X-rays and to otherappointments. Recently, he’s been working for “the true boss,” his wife of 50years, Meredith, who runs the two visitors’ cafes at the hospital.His wife said Bradshaw loves meeting and talking to people, whichis what makes volunteering, especially at the hospital, a perfect fitfor him. He usually volunteers three days and has more than 4,500 hoursdonated to the hospital, he said.

n some recent past issues of the Beacon,we’ve talked about ways in which youcan help The Home by making outright

or planned gifts; encouraging brethren andfriends to remember The Home forretirement living and senior health careneeds; referring brethren, their wives orwidows to Masonic Senior Services to enablethem to remain in their own homes as longas possible; remembering loved ones withmemorial or recognitiongifts; or supporting ourLegends Golf Classic.

This issue I’d like tofocus on the Legendsgolf event, September15-16. We’ll present the4th Jim Perry LegendsGolf Classic at GreeneCountry Club inFairborn. For the secondyear, the proceeds ofthe event will benefitPathways Center forAlzheimer’s Care andrelated dementia servicesof Masonic Health Carein Springfield.

This unique event isgaining in popularity and can always useadditional members of the craft as golfers.I know thousands of golfers will read this.We only need 100 each day.

Imagine yourself: 1) golfing withprofessional sports celebrities of years goneby; ones you cheered on the field, gridiron,and court; 2) enjoying a great lunch anddinner with your foursome and the sportsLegend assigned to you; 3) bidding on avariety of sports memorabilia and otheritems in the silent and live auctions; 4)enjoying a great time with your brethren,friends, family, clients and associates, andhearing great sports stories from theLegends; and 5) knowing that the netproceeds of the day are going to supporta program that provides comfort to thosewho suffer from this debilitating diseaseand their equally devastated loved ones.

Led by Jim Perry, former Cleveland

Indian pitcher and Cy Young Award Winner(1970) with the Minnesota Twins, theLegends who have participated and areanticipated for this year and their teaminclude: Hal Naragon (Indians); JimO’Toole (Reds); Joe Nuxhall (Reds); EarleBruce and Brother Galen Cisco (Ohio State);Vern Law (Pirates, ’60 Cy Young Award);Brother Bill Virdon (Pirates); Milt Plum(Browns); and Jon Warden (Tigers and

former host ofESPN2’s Cold Pizza).

Get a foursometogether includingbrethren, friends,family, clients, orassociates. Come aloneor just for the dinnerand auctions, butmake sure you cometo the beautifulGreene Country Clubon September 15and/or 16 for theJim Perry LegendsGolf Classic.

If you can’t comeand participate, or ifyou don’t golf, maybe

you can be an event or hole sponsor, providean item for our golfer gift bag or ourauctions. If you plan to come, pleasemake your reservation in advance; we won’tbe able to accommodate “on site” golfersor diners.

You just can’t beat this one-of-a-kindgolfing opportunity for your own personalenjoyment, as a gift to someone, or as aclient or company associate outing. Thecost to golf or sponsor is very reasonablefor all the benefits provided and at leastpartially tax-deductible. I guarantee you’lldrive away smiling, reflecting on a great dayand the great way in which you have helpedThe Home and those impacted byAlzheimer’s!

For more information, cost orsponsorship details, call Ken Hershbergerin the Foundation office at 888/248-2664.

he life of MostWorshipfulBrother Bill

Mayberry, Sr., 33°,has been shaped byFreemasonry. Bill joinedRiverview Lodge#717, nowMillennium Lodge#779 in Dayton,

in 1967.“I was impressed with the people I knew

who were Masons,” he said. “My uncle wasa member of Shrine. When a good friendof mine from high school joined, I decidedto join his lodge.”

Initially, Bill was active in his lodge.Raising a family and running the familybusiness made it difficult to stay involvedin Masonry, but after a couple of years away,Brother Mayberry came back in a big way.

“Since 1969, I’ve been an officer of aMasonic body,” he said, including ScottishRite and Grand Lodge. He served as GrandMaster in 2002-2003.

“It was the pinnacle of my Masonic careerand service.”

During his year as Grand Master, Billworked hard for the Grand Lodge charitablefoundation that had been initiated in 1994.

Bill also cites the Special Olympics as ahighlight of his term as Grand Master.

“I was proud to parade with theOlympians,” he said. “They appreciate itso much. It’s very fulfilling.”

In 2000, Bill became a Board memberof The Ohio Masonic Home’s BenevolentEndowment Foundation and of The OhioMasonic Home Board, where he serves as2nd Vice Chairman.

“The Home’s subsidiary facilities areideal places for our brethren,” Mayberrysaid. “You get to live on a campus thatoperates on Masonic principles, and TheHome’s Foundation provides financialstability and, in some cases, financialassistance.”

From his work on the Board, Bill isimpressed with the management team atThe Ohio Masonic Home.

“The leadership is as strong as it’s everbeen,” he said. “We have an excellent nucleusof officers and management.”

Bill said the challenge going forwardwill be to build The Home’s EndowmentFoundation, but it will need to be builtfor future brethren.

Through his service, Bill feels he hasbenefited.

“It’s made me a better person,” he said.“Masonry is a huge part of my life.”
