Crested Butte, Colorado
|Average Snowfall
Resort Guide 2018: West #14
Bolstered by record snowfall last season, Crested Butte continues its steady climb in the rankings. And with good reason. The quaint town and "playground of a mountain" are both brimming with character (No. 4) and host a wealth of terrain ranging from wide-open groomers to insane steeps. While the mountain's sheer size is enough to dissipate crowds, some readers balked about lift placement, highlighting difficulties getting around the mountain, especially accessing steeps on the backside. But don't be deterred: When there is enough snow to cover the rocks (it takes a lot), Teocalli Bowl and surrounding chutes are heralded as some of the most gnarly in-bounds terrain anywhere and offer unique challenges to the most expert skiers. Cap an epic day on the deck of Butte 66 with the picturesque Banana Chutes in the background, or head to CB's main drag and enjoy the "best ski town in the U.S."
Après Spot
Head to Avalanche Bar & Grill for cold beers and big portions of American comfort food just steps from the hill.
Bragging Rights
Hop the North Face T-Bar and kick off the sticks for a short hike into Spellbound Bowl. Riddled with opportunities for big air and deep turns, this extraordinary zone holds snow well and is rarely crowded. Transfer into Phoenix Bowl to keep the stoke going.
On-Hill Eats
Try Uley's Cabin for an upscale on-mountain lunch or an afternoon drink at the ice bar.
Dont Miss
Third Bowl's homemade ice cream is divine. The flavors are ever-changing, but be adventurous. We promise you won't be disappointed.

Villa Farnesina, Rome
New Year's Eve in Rome. We made another attempt to go into St. Peter's Basilica but the line snaked around St. Peter's Square. I hoped to send a few postcards from the mobile postal truck/trailer that was parked in the Square but that was closed. When we were in the Vatican Museum I could have sent some postcards but, d'oh!, I forgot my address book. C'est la vie.
Our back up plan was to see Villa Farnesina. We walked along the Tiber River towards the villa. Looking at the car and foot traffic on the bridges that crossed the river and the walkways along the riverbanks, it reminded me of Paris and the Seine. The buildings that line the river were the only giveaway that we weren't in Paris, well, that and the absence of the Eiffel Tower. There's even Tiber Island home to a hospital which was once a temple dedicated to Asclepius to make you think of the Île Saint-Louis or the Île de la Cité.
We entered the neighborhood of Trastevere where Villa Farnesina is located. Agostino Chigi, a Sienese banker who was also treasurer to Pope Julius II, commissioned the villa as a summer home. In 1577 the villa became possession of the Farnese family hence the name.
Every great home needs some decoration so why not commission Raphael to throw a few frescoes on the wall and ceiling? There are other friezes and frescoes in the villa but the Raphaels were my favorite. And now begins my barrage of photos of The Triumph of Galatea, 1511, Loggia of Cupid and Psyche, 1518, and the Hall of Perspectives, 1519 or 1528. As long as you weren't using a flash, security had no problem with picture taking. Woo hoo!
The frescoes were amazing. I loved the fruit and flower swags that separated the vaults and different figures. Also I'd love to have a party like Cupid and Psyche. Ahhh, another place I would move into right away.

Chartered December 11, 1877
From the initial correspondence we can assume that on March 10, 1875, Worshipful Brother John Y. Worthington sent a letter along with a $25.00 fee asking the Grand Lodge for dispensation to start a lodge at Clifton Station, that would be known as Acacia Lodge.
The original petition contained the signatures of 16 Master Masons in good standing and with Manasseh Lodge No. 182 cheerfully vouching for the Masonic and moral qualifications of the petitioners, they recommended favorable consideration. In March 1876 from Alexandria, Virginia, at that time we were in the First District. Joseph Hopkins D.
D. P. M. #1 district wrote that because of these men making their residence in and around Clifton Station, it was a hardship of having to travel to Henry #57 in Fairfax Court House and Manasseh #182 at Manassas, Va., and made it impossible to attend lodge and it was his belief that a new lodge could be built up and become a flourishing lodge.
Under a dispensation issued on March 11, 5876AL-1876 A.D. by most Worshipful Wm. B. Taliafenno, Grant Master of Masons in Va., appointing Worshipful Brother J. Y. Worthington, Master; Brother George P. Wright, Senior Warden; Brother T. T. Burke, Jr. Warden; the first regular communication of Acacia Lodge was held in their hall on March 24, AL5876-AD1876.
A Master Mason lodge opened in due and ancient form for dispatch of business. The following brethren were appointed to fill the various offices. W. E. Ford, Treasurer; H. D. Rice, Secretary; James W. Ashford, Senior Deacon; R. H. Butler, Jr., Deacon; J. P. Woodyard, Tyler and J. R. Buckley and W. S. Kearns were appointed Stewards.
The first petitioners, George W. Marshall and Joseph F. Anderson were read and laid over under the rules. Motions were made and ordered that the regulat communication be held on: the Second and Fourth Monday of each month. On motion, fee for initiation was set at $10.00 and passing $5.00, raising $5.00.
On motion of Brother Makley a vote of Thanks was tendered to Brother J. W. Ashford for the handsome alter donated to this lodge.
On April 24, AL5876-AD1876 at the regular communication held in their hail, W. F. Makley petitioned and was laid over. Petitions of George W. Marshall and Joseph F. Anderson having laid over for the necessary time a ballot was circulated and in each case and came up clear.
Master Mason's lodge was then dispensed with and an Entered Apprentice lodge was opened for work and instruction. Mr. George W. Marshall and Joseph F. Anderson were introduced separately and initiated, thus becoming the first Enter Apprentice's in our lodge.
On May 8, AL5876-AD1 876 at a regular communication Master Masons lodge was dispensed with and an Enter Apprentice lodge was opened for work and instruction and Brother J. F. Anderson was examined as to his masonic proficiency. Enter Apprentice lodge was closed and Master Mason lodge resumed labor. A Ballot was taken on his moral fitness $ and again on his masonic proficiency both of which being fair he was declared duly elected a receive the Fellow Craft degree.
Master Mason's lodge was again dispensed with and a Fellow Craft lodge was opened for work and instruction and Brother J. F. Anderson was introduced and passed to the 2nd degree in Masonry, according to ancient form and ceremonies. Thus becoming the first fellow craft in our lodge. This was the last meeting Worshipful John Worthington attended.
On May 22, AL5876-AD1876 at a regular communication Master Mason lodge was opened and dispensed with a Fellow Craft lodge opened for work and instruction. Brother J. F. Anderson, a regularly initiated Entered Apprentice and having been passed to the 2nd degree of Masonry in this lodge, was examined in open lodge. Fellow Craft lodge was closed and work resumed in Master Mason Lodge. Ballots were taken on moral qualification and Masonic proficiency of Brother J. F. Anderson, both being for he was declared elected to receive the 3rd degree in Masonry and was introduced and raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason thus becoming the first Master Mason raised in our lodge.
At a regular communication on June 12, 1876, Brother H.D. Rice made his last visit and the Secretary position was Pro Tem until the Nov. 12, 1876, meeting when Brother L. Quigg was appointed Secretary.
At the stated communication on Nov. 12, 1876, Brother George P. Wright was appointed to represent this lodge at Grand Lodge and ask for further continuation of the dispensation under which this lodge was working.
At the January 8, 1877, Stated Communication Brother J. P. Woodyard resigned Tyler and J. F. Anderson was appointed to replace him.
At the regular Stated Communication on November 26, 1877, on motion it was resolved to change the stationed officers, Worshipful Master and Senior Warden, Brother George P. Wright was recommended for Worshipful Master and Brother L. Makley for Senior Warden.
On motion Brother George P. Wright was requested to represent Acacia Lodge at the Grand Lodge and present our claims for a charter.
On December 11, AL5877-AD1877 Grand Master Beverly Randoldf Wellford granted the Charter and appointed George P. Wright, Master; Leander Makley, Senior Warden, and Thomas T. Burke, Jr. Warden.
At a Stated Communication of Acacia Lodge No. 16 AF & AM held in their hail at Clifton Station, Va., January 14, AD1878-AL5878.
George P. Wright, W.M.
L. Makley, Senior Warden
T. T. Burke, Jr. Warden
W. E. Ford, Treasurer
J. W. Ashford, Secretary
W. S. Kerns, Senior Deacon
R. H. Butler, Jr., Deacon
George W. Marshall, Steward
James F. Buckley, Steward
Joseph F. Anderson, Tyler
Master Mason - Cyrus Hickeey
A lodge was opened on the third degree of Masonry in due and ancient form, District Deputy Grand Master John B. Smoot of Alexandria, Washington lodge No. 22, having opened a lodge on the 3rd degree of Masonry in due and ancient form with Worshipful Brother J. F. Beckkam of Alexandria, Washington, No. 22, Senior Warden; Worshipful Brother E. E. Dunnham of Andrew Jackson lodge No. 120, Jr. Warden; Worshipful Brother H. D. Smoot of Andrew Jackson No. 120, Treasurer; Brother Chas. E. Steward of Alexandria. Washington lodge No. 122, Secretary; Brother F. D. Wood of Andrew Jackson lodge 120, Senior Deacon; Brother G. W. Carlins, Andrew Jackson lodge No. 120, Junior Deacon.
Brother F. F. Marburg of Alexandria - Washington lodge No. 122, Tyler; Worshipful Brother F. A. Reed of Andrew Jackson No. 120, Marshall and Chaplin.
The Grand Lodge then entered the Hall of Acacia Lodge No. 16, and was received by the Worshipful Master, Senior Warden and Brethren with the Grand Honors. The Grand Lodge then filled the chairs of the lodge and a dispensations and charter to Acacia Lodge No. 16 from the Grand Lodge of Virginia was then presented. The Grand Lodge was then called off. The lodge on 3rd degree of Masonry was again called on and Acacia Lodge No. 16 presented for installation.
Worshipful Brother George P. Wright,
Worshipful Master
Worshipful Brother Leander Makley,
Senior Warden
Worshipful Brother John 1. Burke,
Jr. Warden
These officers were then installed respectively in due and ancient form. Acacia Lodge No. 16 was then constituted in accordance with the Laws of the Grand Lodge of Virginia. Brethren W. E. Ford, Treasurer; J. W. Ashford, Secretary; W. S. Kerns, Sr. Deacon; R. H. Butler, Jr. Deacon; James J. Buckley and George Marshall, Stewards; Joseph F. Anderson, Tyler, were then presented and installed in their respective offices. The Grand Lodge then retired from the Hall and nothing further appearing for the good of Masonry, the lodge closed in due and ancient form and harmony at 10 P.M.
Now that we had become a constituted Lodge we looked forward into the future to find that history has not been kind to us in the form of accurate records. From this we hope that now and in the future our records will be more precise and define details, by this, we refer to the minutes where as at every opening we find "at a Stated or Called. Communication of Acacia Lodge held in their hall at Clifton Station Virginia." This statement no matter how minute at the time tells future generations nothing about the location. We know that various places were used, store rooms, and the Clifton School and in the 1890-95 era degrees were performed at neighboring lodges because of lack of space. And at the March 2, 1896 Stated Meeting a committee was appointed to confer with a like committee from the Junior United American Mechanics to study the probability of jointly building a hall for the use of the two orders but nothing appears in the records of the results.
Even request for aid from our Sister Lodge's proved to be negative.
Acacia Lodge was never flourishing with financial assets, repeated requests for aid from other lodges were turned down and then only donations of .50 to $3.00 were passed on from collections taken from Brethren attending.
Thanks to our determined fore Brethren we could not find any clue that would make us believe that the Lodge was in jeopardy of folding with the passing of Wor. Bro. John Y. Worthington in July 1878, and Wor. Bro. George P. Wright on January 17, 1900. We had the usual amount of demits, suspensions and deaths, but the candidates kept the
Lodge pretty stable and the foremost thought at the time was finding an adequate permanent home.
At a regular Stated Communication in October 1902 a committee was appointed to study the proposal of purchasing the Makley store house that was reported to be at the corner of Main and Chapel Road.
At the January 12, 1903 Stated Meeting a committee was appointed to contact Mr. R. C. Hickey about purchasing the mill property for a lodge room. At the February 11, 1903 meeting the committee reported that the mill property could be purchased for $250 on 5-years time and by unanimous decision a committee of three, A. W. Robinson, it R. Buckley, and F. G. Mayhugh, was appointed and ordered to make arrangements to purchase same. But at the April Stated Meeting the committee could not report a satisfactory deed, so a committee was appointed consisting of Wor. Bro. S. Ellis Davis, J. W. Tanner and D. W. Buckley to solicit subscriptions in what was to be called "Joint Stock Co." to purchase the mill property and rent it to the lodge. The lodge was to pay annual interest and keep the property insured with a reliable insurance company.
At the May Stated Meeting the committee reported collection of $90 of which was accepted; D. H. Robinson $50, G. F. Anderson $20, E. S. Davis $10, S. E. Davis $10. Records are very sketchy at this point, they moved that they purchase the mill property and a committee of three be appointed to make Deed of Trust to Mr. Hickey and get the deed, they being A. W. Robinson, F. G. Mayhugh and Wor. Bro. D. W. Buckley. As there is nothing further mentioned other than $40.00 more was collected and we have to believe that this finalized the transaction and Acacia Lodge's permanent home became a reality. At this point we can only wonder what happened to the Joint Stock Co. that was appointed to purchase the mill house and rent same for their use as no where in the records is it ever mentioned again, and when we consider the original $130.00 and time tells us that we paid $14 a year interest from the beginning of the note to 1908 when $40 was applied to the principal and it dropped to $12 until 1909 and it became $9 when we paid $50 until 1911 and $10 more on principal brought the yearly interest rate down to $6 where it remained until early 1920 when an agreement was reached with Mr. R C. Hickey to exchange lots for one more convenient on Main Street and abolish the debt of $100 still owed on the Deed of Trust. We can only assume that the difference in the original $130.00 and following payments was used for Title and Settlement fees.
We have to admire the trust that existed between Mr. R. C. Hickey and our early Brethren since the Lodge was moved to its' present site in June 1920 at a cost of $130 and the final transaction of acquiring the Deed did not take place Until July 18, 1921 and his apparent leniency of letting the note go beyond it's original 5 year time.
02-10-2009 added Where did we hold our meetings prior to 1903? we have no records of this, and our minutes do not state a location, they simply say "in our hall" 04-30-14 We know know were.
Jason Mitchell, a CBA member contacted Michelle Stein of the CBA who then called Bro. Brant's office, he was out of town and his secretary called me, there was a letter from Acacia Lodge dated 1904 up for auction on eBay. With only two-hours left on the auction, I placed a bid and successfully won the bid. The seller is from Oceanside, NY.
We now know where we had our meetings, and now have a 104 year old original document to prove it. "Makely's Hall"
This is a case of deja view, 104 years later we again mailed a letter to all Lodges asking for donations, but the asking price went from $400 in 1904 to $80,000 in 2008.
The letter was mailed to Smith Lodge No. 46 in Mount Solon, Va. Which is near Charlottesville, Va. And no longer exist.
Read the letter closely, there are some other interesting facts
02-11-2009 added Noticed from the Proceedings that L. and W. F. Makely were early members of the Lodge.
At the December 1903 meeting of the Grand Lodge they made changes that Grand Lodge would meet on the second Tuesday in February instead of December 1, as previously, and subordinate Lodges will elect officers on the Anniversary of St. John the Evangelist in December.
With the deed finally in our possession and the treasury badly depleted, the general feeling now became not what should we do but what can we do.
The minutes attest to the fact that peace and harmony prevailed with our Brethren as every motion for improvement was carried unanimously. With what meager funds that could be mustered, the first project undertaken was to eliminate the steps outside and move them inside, and later the main entrance was moved to the center front side of the Lodge facing Main Street, as it is today. Within the interior, platforms were built for the officers' stations and a committee was appointed to explore the possibility of having electricity installed in the building. This was accomplished with the help of Mr. R. E. Simpson, General Manager, of the Southern Railroad.
We take time now to review our relationship with the community and find the facilities of the Lodge played an active part in community affairs. The Parent Teacher Association used it for social affairs and the Young Men's Club of Clifton used the first floor for dances.
Our Ladies have always played an active part where possible by making curtains, aprons, serving dinners at Called or Stated Communications when the Lodge had work to perform in the Master Mason Degree and they were recognized for this when they were invited to set in after the end of a meeting when the District Deputy Grand Master would visit and join in later at dinner that was always arranged for the occasion. When Wor. Bro. Richard L. Wells was Master he specifically insisted that the ladies be included at our Social Hour after the meeting and prepare our meals. The Stewards abided by his wishes and arranged for his instruction regarding the ladies be fulfilled.
Acacia Lodge was invited to lay the cornerstones of many institutions.
On May 27, 1896, Acacia Lodge journeyed to Fairfax Court House, Virginia and held a Called Communication in the Oak Street School, and then retired to the site of the now Oak Grove Methodist Church to lay the cornerstone.
At the Stated Communication held July 30, 1906, Acacia Lodge accepted invitation from Manasseh #182 to be present at the laying of the cornerstone of their temple.
April 5, 1909 the Officers and members of Acacia Lodge do hereby cheerfully vouch for Masonic and Moral Qualifications of the petition for a Dispensation to open and hold a Lodge at Occoquan, in the county of Prince William, Virginia and recommend their petition for the favorable consideration of the Most Worshipful Grand Master. Thus Occuquan #310 became a member of District #1.
Note spelling of Occoquan above
On November 24, 1910 Acacia was called upon to lay the cornerstone of the Clifton Baptist Church and on March 12, 1912 they laid the cornerstone of the Clifton School from which many of our present Brethren attended and graduated.
December 18, 1925 at the request of Brother John Barrett of Acacia Lodge, they laid the cornerstone of a building on the Crittenden Home property that was erected to the memory of the late Kate N. Barrett.
It is with shame that we now should realize that our Brethren's wishes have not been carried out on the original Bible which was used since the foundation of the Lodge.
January 1922, Brother John Upp presented the Lodge with a gift of a new Bible to be used on the alter. A motion was made to make a suitable case with a glass top to contain the original Bible in order to save it in memory of the many members who had taken their obligation on its scarred pages.
August 25, 1925 Wor. Bro. George E. Kidwell presented a bill for $4.00 for this case and the Bible was placed in the Archives of the Lodge. Somewhere along the path of time the case has been lost but we still have the Bible. Shouldn't we rectify this situation and restore it where our Brethren intended it to be.
From 1923 to 1933 we were a part of the 59th District and in 1934 we became a member Lodge of the 58th District as we are today.
Hope and then despair has plagued us throughout our history. In 1926 avenues were approached for a new building, and in 1940 attempts were made to join with the town council to enter in an agreement to build a town hall with facilities for a lodge. But this idea got no farther then the committees. Although attempts were made to purchase our property.
As we are preparing to celebrate our 100th Anniversary our Brethren did the same on the 50th. December 11, 1927 the Lodge met at the Clifton Baptist Church for services and proceeded to George P. Wright Billard Hall for a Turkey supper that was prepared by a Chef that had been engaged for $100.
When Wor. John M. Detwiler became Master he recommended to change the by-laws whereas our Stated Communication would be on the second Monday of the Month which was unanimously approved and adopted.
With the economy probably at its worst of any time in our history and the country at a standstill, Acacia Lodge remained a ray of hope for some of our Brothers who looked to the Lodge for the necessities of life, the Lodge while experiencing their own problems, dwindling petitions (4 petitions from 1928-1939) and members not being able to pay their dues because the opportunity to find a job was practically nil.
In 1928 Acacia Lodge #16 joined with Henry Lodge #57 and Manasseh Lodge #182 and the George P. Wright Headstone Fund was instituted to solicit funds from members of the three lodges to purchase and place a headstone on the grave of Rt. Wor. George P. Wright, P.M. of both Henry Lodge #57 and Acacia Lodge #16 and also Honorary member of Acacia Lodge and First Master of Manasseh #182..
November 9, 1936 Henry Lodge #57 set forth a petition for a transfer from the 54th District to the 58th District and requested a letter from Acacia Lodge #16 recommending the transfer.
February 13, 1939 Rt. Wor. R. R. Buckley, father of Wor. Bro. C. R. Buckley and Rt. Wor. R. R. Buckley, Jr., who we all know as Randy, was presented with a 50-Year Pin given by the Grand Lodge. Our first member to achieve this recognition. On the same night Wor. Bro. R S. Kincheloe received the Past Masters Jewell, being the first Past Master of Acacia Lodge to be so honored.
In the year of 1932 the four Lodges, Acacia Lodge #16, Manasseh #182, Haymarket #313, and Herndon #264 that comprised the 59th District agreed to share the expense of purchasing a District Banner that would stay in the home Lodge of the District Deputy Grand Master during his year and at a Stated Communication on June 13, 1932 a motion was made and seconded and carried to pay the bill of $6.15 for Acacia Lodge, ¼ share toward the Banner.
In 1934 when we became a member of the 58 Masonic District you can see where the 59 was taken off and 58 added. Then in 1936 when Henry #57 became a member lodge of the 58th District they were added to the Banner.
Most Worshipful Walter Albert Porter, Grand Master of Masons in Virginia, paid an official visit to Acacia Lodge on September 30, 1960. He was received with honors at a Called Communication at the Clifton Volunteer Fire Hall Auditorium. This location was selected by the Worshipful Master because of the small seating capacity of our Lodge Room. Thus, 83 years after the lodge received its Charter, Acacia Lodge was honored by being the host lodge for a Grand visitation.
In 1975 on the 18th day of October, Dr. Seymour David Levy, Grand Master of Masons in Virginia stepped through the doors into our Lodge Room. This was the first time for a Grand Master to view the room and its furnishings. He was accompanied by the Grand Marshall and the District Deputy Grand Master, for the 58th Masonic District, Rt. Worshipful John E. Frederick, Sr. Past Master and Secretary of Acacia Lodge, and was greeted by Worshipful Master, Richard L. Wells; Senior Warden, Roy E. Campbell; and Junior Warden, Mynor F. McIntyre. Then the Brethren sat down and enjoyed cake and coffee prepared for the occasion by our lovely and devoted ladies.
At the Stated Communication on March 17, 1924 Rt. Wor. A. J. Kidwell presented the Lodge with a piece of his handy work in iron, figuratively representing his life long occupation as a blacksmith, in the form of a large horseshoe with the Masonic Emblems arranged therein.
The third and present Bible was presented together with an altar cloth and pedestal cover to Acacia Lodge #16 by the following brethren; Rt. Wor. Richard R. Buckley, Wor. John M. Ramey and Wor. Francis W. Parker, Reverend Bro. Robert D. Bayman dedicated this Bible with appropriate ceremony at our Stated Communication on March 12, 1956.
At a Called Communication on February 22, 1962 Rt. Wor. Charles A. Sinclair presented to Acacia Lodge #16 through Wor. Bro. John North a memorial to the memory of Wor. Bro. Thomas 0. Clore our late and beloved brother. The memorial is a set of Jewels to be used by the Senior Deacon in receiving candidates.
Rt. Wor. Bro. Sinclair expressed his hope that all Brothers passing through the West Gate will feel "Tommy's" presence.
The letter G above the Altar was presented to the Lodge at the April 14, 1958 Stated Communication by Wor. Doneghy and Wor. John North.
September 28, 1958 Wor. Thomas 0. Clore presented Wor. Francis W. Parker with a Wor. Master's Pin of which has been passed on to every Master to this day.
Past records do not indicate where our Officer's Jewels were obtained but we do know that our present Square and Compass was presented by Wor. Bro. Gary K. Stout on March 8, 1971.. In 1972 covers for the officer's stations were presented by Wor. and Mrs. Oakley C. Wolfe as in 1975 our present Altar Lights.
Through the assistance of Wor. Archie P. Lyons in 1972 we received our flag which had flown over the Capitol.
Modernization of our lower hail can be attributed to efforts of many, without intending to omit any brother whose hours of long toil contributed to achieve this we should mention that Rt. Wor. R. R. Buckley, Jr., Wor. Harold Artz, Wor. Herbert Martin, Rt. Wor. John Frederick and Wor. Oakley C. Wolfe contributed much of the leadership and materials to reach our present appearance. In 1975 Wor. R. L. Wells was able to finish the floor and have the interior and outside painted. Yes, Acacia Lodge has come a long way in one hundred years.
The minutes tell us that on September 20,1920 first attempts were made to interest the ladies, that is Mason wives, daughters and sisters in forming an Eastern Star Lodge in Clifton, and at the Stated Communication December 20, 1920 a communication from Dr. E. A. Drun, Grand Patron O.E.S. was read which contained a petition for dispensation to establish a chapter at Clifton. Motion was made and seconded to secure as many signatures as possible, and all members to solicit all eligible members. Nothing further is mentioned until October 2, 1922 when a committee was appointed to meet with the O.E.S. to use the hail and provide the keys. Throughout their existence O.E.S. Chapter 67 was able to use our facilities and held joint picnics and dinners together. Nothing else is mentioned after 1932, but communications with former members explain that the charter was returned and the members affiliated with the Manassas chapter.
Acacia Lodge #16 can take pride and look on with honor that although in our 100 years we have only presented thirteen DDGM's they have proficiently cor~ducted themselves in the highest Masonic tradition.
Without disrespect to present or past brothers, we feel that mention should be made to the fact that throughout our existence the one brother who attended and supported the Lodge with his presence and actual participation for 43 years was the longest period of contribution by any member Wor. Master three times, held every office in the Lodge and would no doubt have continued longer had he not retired and moved to Florida. He being Wor. Bro. John M. Detwiler our oldest living member, oldest Past Master, Fifty year and Honorary member.
Wor. John M. Detwiler confirmed what records did not reveal when he explained that the Tyler's Sword belonged to Rt. Wor. George P. Wright and he presented it to the lodge for the purpose that it is used.
In concluding we can rightfully say that Acacia Lodge #16 was originated by Rt. Wor. John Y. Worthington and Rt. Wor. George P. Wright; but had it not been for men like Rt. Wor. A. J. Kidwell; Rt. Wor. James U. Kincheloe; Wor. D. W. Buckley; Rt. Wor. Robert R.
Buckley; Rt. Wor. Richard R. Buckley; Rt. Wor. E. G. Taylor; Wor. john M. Detwiler; Rt. Wor. Robert W. Darr; Rt. Wor. James W. Maley and to the present Rt. Wor. John E. Frederick Sr. having provided the backbone and leadership we might not have made our 100 year's of existence.

Modern homes are supposed to be lived in and enjoyed, this is often the mark of a healthy and happy home. It is only natural to feel exacerbated at times because it seems as though you are running out of space but for most people, this is just part of daily life. There will be times though when there is a need to make more space and depending on your home and circumstances, adding a conservatory may be just the ticket for improving your home.
A conservatory is an ideal way to create more space in your home and the beauty of a conservatory is that there is a great deal of flexibility with what you can do with it. The idea of being able to sit in relative comfort while enjoying your garden lends it working as a sitting room or lounge but there are plenty of options to make the best of a conservatory.
Conservatories Richmond experts can give your home more room. If you have young children at home, it may be that your conservatory ends up getting used as a playroom or even a storage room for all of their toys. Having one room that can pull everything together means that the rest of the home gets a chance to take it easy with regards to mess. Another great solution for a conservatory would be to keep it as a room where the children are not allowed into. This means it can be a room where the adults go to relax and escape the crazy atmosphere of the rest of the house.
No matter what you use your conservatory for, asking the conservatories Richmond team at Guild Home Improvements will ensure you get the best possible conservatory solution. This team have been designing and installing conservatories for a good number of years and know what your home needs.

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen – Century 1969 …. Somewhere in here I get to reviewing it.
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen – Century: 1969
By Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill
Knockabout / Top Shelf
Hmmm, this review was meant to appear before Century 1969 came out. Except, had I have written it after just reading 1969, with Moore and O'Neill's reduced team of Extraordinary Gentlemen in swinging, psychedelic London, it would have been a confused, frustrated review, as taken in isolation, on that first read, 1969 isn't particularly satisfying reading at all.
But, as you'll find if you can bear with me through what promises to be a far longer review than I initially thought, it's something that can't be taken in isolation, and certainly shouldn't be read just once. It's something that eventually yields the possibility of greatness. And be warned, this is a long, sprawling journey through the League thus far, and when I eventually get to 1969, there are spoilers, but nothing you probably haven't already read pretty much everywhere online.
But before we get to 1969, lets look at the problems I found first time round, problems that have been getting worse throughout the LOEG volumes…..
LOEG started out, at least to me as a reader, as a simple wish fulfilment thing…. a "wouldn't it be cool if all these great fictional characters got together and had some adventures" sort of thing.
Volumes 1 & 2 are beautifully constructed, great reads, with some fantastic art from O'Neill – as we share the adventures of Moore's disparate band of Victorian misfits: Mina Murray, Allan Quartermain, Captain Nemo, Dr Jeckyll (and his monstrous alter-ego), and Hawley Griffen (The Invisible Man).
Two great adventures with the League battling against threats to the Empire, whether it's the mysterious M (do I really need to avoid spoilers 11 years after publication?) using secret anti-gravity Cavourite to do battle with Fu Manchu in Volume 1 or the League versus HG Wells' Martian Tripods in Volume 2.
But in addition to the story, we had the extra elements – Moore's brilliant stories, together with O'Neill's great artwork sat atop a fun little game of look at all the extra stuff that writer and artist have loaded into their pages to make it more interesting. So much so that Jess Nevins got a book out of each volume, detailing every last significant and not so significant literary and cultural reference Moore and O'Neill had included. (Nevins' extensive online annotations are referenced at the end of this review).
But somewhere it seemed to switch and instead of the story sitting over the fun extras, it seemed to have become some sort of massive pop culture, genre fiction test, with every page so packed with obscure references to all manner of weird genre fiction characters. Somewhere along the line it just felt like the basic idea of telling a great story with all the extras as a bonus had been forgotten.
So ….. I read Century 1969.
Then I went back and read 1910, just to get a better idea of what was going on. And it just felt so frustrating, the narrative simply swamped by the details and references and I found myself continually losing the flow, thoughts wandering as the questions came thick and fast.
So I went back. I picked all the prior Leagues off the shelf and sat down to revisit them, without benefit or recourse to any annotations, just reading them as is, just concentrating on the story as I see it. And I'm right, there's definitely a shift in the priorities of the League over the development of the series. Volume 2 is where the problems begin, where there are just a few too many instances of the reference overwhelming the narrative in a panel. But it's not overwhelming, probably due to Moore doing most of the really reference heavy stuff in the enormous Almanac text section at the back.
Then we get to The Black Dossier and suddenly it all gets very complex very quickly – suddenly we're playing spot the reference all too often. Except, I have to admit, this re-reading of The Black Dossier immediately after the first two volumes, and with the events of 1910 and 1969 fresh in my mind really opened it up for me – and suddenly, having freed myself from continually questioning my knowledge of who, what, where and why – it turns into a really good book – far, far more enjoyable read than I remembered from the first time round.
In fact, freed from worrying too much about what I'm missing and concentrating instead on just enjoying what is right there in front of me, The Black Dossier turns out to be a cracking mystical espionage thriller as a rejuvenated Mina and Quartermain join Orlando to pick their way through a crumbling post Orwellian Britain of 1958, hunting "The Black Dossier", doggedly pursued by analogues of James Bond, Emma Peel and Bulldog Drummond, all working for the new "M", Harry Lime.
And once the espionage thriller of the comic bits fell into place, all the non-comic bits got a damn sight more interesting without constantly fretting I was "reading them right".
Now, maybe it's just the novelty of "getting it" at last, but I've got to say, on this read through, I actually enjoyed The Black Dossier a little more than the first two volumes, the density of the material didn't plague me so much, the enjoyment of Moore and O'Neill's work was there all along, it just needed me to finally read it for myself rather than be overly concerned about everything extra.
Again, as with Volume 2's almanac, the dissociation of the text heavy, reference laden material from the main comic story is what really makes it a great book.
Which then brought me right back to Century. It's got none of that dissociation – everything is right there in the main story – and frankly it suffers because of it. The effort needed to stop yourself analysing every tiny detail in both text and art is frankly incredible. The way both 1910 and 1969 are written makes it so hard just to treat them as simple comic narratives.
But, but, but, but, but……. the thing is, having deliberately gone through the previous three books with a devil may care, get what I can and enjoy it for that attitude, my mind was in the right place to do it again, even though it did require a lot more work to stay focused on the actual story, since every panel screams out "look at me, what does this mean, who is this meant to be, what clever, real world pop fiction, counter cultural reference are you missing here?"…….
(Sing along everyone… to the tune of "Mack The Knife", Moore and O'Neill revisit familiar Whitechapel themes in Century 1910)
A quick recap on Century: 1910: A now reduced League of Mina, Alan and Orlando (by now a trio in the bedroom as well as in the adventure game) are joined by gentleman thief AJ Raffles and the supernatural detective Tom Carnaki in an attempt to avoid the birth of a potential anti-christ moonchild.
We follow their frankly rather bumbling attempts at investigating, meet Captain Nemo's daughter, enjoy a little Brechtian musical accompaniment as potential Whitechapel fiend MacHeath is back in town (brilliantly adapted by Moore, who's never been afraid to dazzle us with a song or two in his time), and discover that Oliver Haddo (the League's Aleister Crowley) is the guiding hand behind a "moonchild" that may be the potential end of the world.
The end of 1910 is a downbeat, dour thing, promising much misery and bleakness to come…
(The end of Century 1910, as the seeds of the League's discontent are clear. From League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century 1910 by Moore and O'Neill)
And now, we're (finally) bang up to date in Century 1969 (you knew I'd get here eventually).
The trio of Mina, Alan and Orlando, having at least temporarily diverted Haddo and the forthcoming apocalypse, are in swinging, end of the 60s London, with the hippy dream starting to dissolve and the flower children finding that things aren't as rosy in the garden as they'd thought, even with all the Tadukic Acid Diethylamide flying around.
London's full of gangsters (although all of them seem to be some facet of Reggie and Ronnie Kray), and even the young, beautiful pop stars are being found face down in their pools. Of course, this being the world of the League there's a 50/50 chance of it being drugs or evil black magicians, back from the dead.
Alerted by Prospero to the possibility of Haddo's cult having another go at the whole moonchild thing, Mina, Alan and Orlando decamp to the headquarters Mina used during her disastrous early 60's super-team League phase….
(A stripped down League sit in the depressing shell of Mina's failed 60s superteam HQ, from Century 1969, by Moore and O'Neill)
Basically, now we're in the realms of copyright and out of the public domain, there's a lot of disguising of names, with Moore doing literary cartwheels to find the analogues he's after… so welcome to the world where Oliver Haddo (Crowley) is jumping from body to body as he needs to, still threatening to bring about the apocalypse at some point. Except here he's thinking it might be a good idea to utilise the puffy lipped lead singer of pop combo The Purple Orchestra, who've recently finished their recording of "Infernal Eminences".
(So that's Jagger and The Rolling Stones, fresh off "Their Satanic Majesties Request" with Jagger written as Terner, as in Turner, the character Jagger played in the film "Performance"…. yes, it does get complicated, but stay with it).
Haddo's obviously been doing this for a while now, and has numerous plots on the go. But it's the "Performance" era Jagger who he settles on as the perfect vessel for his transference ritual, a means to keep his spirit alive, and it's during their performance at the Hyde Park festival he's going to make his move (and here, it's Hyde Park named after Edward Hyde – only a little thing, but it's these little things, throughout the entire League storyline that really begins to impress, as it becomes obvious that Moore really does have everything, absolutely everything, perfectly cross-referenced and working as one giant, continuous storyline).
Meanwhile the League is falling apart because Mina, always it's stable, controlling influence, is falling apart. She's tired, she's bored, she's struggling to cope with growing old without actually ageing. And frankly, all the lycra super-suits, casual lesbianism and drugs in the world aren't helping. Mina's trying to shrug off her Victorian past and get with it, desperately trying (and failing) to gain some traction on her never changing life…….
(Mina's terrible portent of the future, both her own immortal one and that of the League, mirrored beautifully by O'Neill's art – the eye popping colours of the League HQ a mere escape from the drab, dreary outside world)
For a great deal of the first half of 1969 we shift between Haddo's plotting and Mina's group wandering vaguely around London, name-dropping old haunts and being all referential for the sake of it, with far too many panels seemingly consisting of the League in the background and a game of spot the character reference happening in the foreground.
And all the way through, a certain Jack Carter, just prior to heading up north (if you haven't already, go and watch Get Carter, the Michael Caine one obviously) is put on a collision course with all this magic stuff. His boss happens to be the gangster with his hooks into Basil Fotherington-Thomas of the Purple Orchestra (he's the one who ended up face down in the pool thanks to a little black magic in the first few pages, obviously a Brian Jones reference, but the name comes from the brilliant Molesworth books – keep up, keep up).
(Just before he heads up North, Carter has one last London job to deal with…. from Century 1969 by Moore and O'Neill)
You can see how it's all tying together can't you? And I've got to say, Moore, as you'd expect. weaves everything together pretty bloody marvellously, as the various strands of the story are drawn slowly together.
But there's always that feeling that it's all too reference laden, and despite really trying hard, there were times when it did all get a little too much. The weird thing with this particular volume is that although it's reference laden, these contemporary, pop culture references are actually far easier to get, especially for us Brits.
But the problem is still there – the references you do get are great, but because it's the League, you're always looking for more,and it's the looking that yanks you right out of the story.
(Car wash trouble with the super-spies, from Century 1969 by Moore & O'Neill)
Take the scene above…. a conflagration of super-spies having a shunt at the car wash, with Lady Penelope's Parker in attendance, the ominous Mogul corporation ever present in the background.
Now, Parker's easy, ST would be Simon Templar (the Saint), and that Aston means the blue jumper wearing, golf club wielding bloke is Jimmy Bond.
But the bloke on the left? The flat capped onlooker, another M? What can it all mean, what can it all mean, what can it ALL mean, WHAT CAN IT ALL MEAN? – you see how it's so easy to get dragged out of the storyline can't you? (Answers to at least some of those questions at Jeff Nevins' annotations).
It's not the question here of whether or not you get the references, it's just that you feel there are so many of them, it makes the task of sticking with the story itself difficult. That's the problem with Century 1969.
(Oh, they should worry Mina, they really should. From Century 1969, by Moore and O'Neill)
The second part of 1969 is O'Neill's playground, with Mina and Haddo battling each other across the astral plane whilst Mina's in the throes of a full-blown devastating Taddy/acid trip, all the horrors of her life and the weight of her depression and longevity brought to vivid, psychedelic life in her tripping mind.
It's beautifully drawn, with O'Neill joined in his exuberance by colourist Ben Dimagmaliw and letterer Todd Klein having a great time being as eye-poppingly psychedelic as possible.
Meanwhile, in between the acid trip moments, the Purple Orchestra play on, with Terner delivering a subtly different version of Sympathy For The Devil (beautifully done by Moore, perfect fit to the original, another example of just how damn good he is at fitting everything to his particular need).
(Sing along time again… this time it's "Sympathy For The Devil", Moore and O'Neill bring all the elements together in Century 1969)
But Moore can't resist throwing in a last gasp of cultural reference, and this is the one that's probably got the most commentary thus far, as Moore literally riddles his way around a young man who's "familiar with all the great magicians" and who eventually becomes the final resting place of Haddo's spirit before popping off through a wall just short of platform 10 at Kings Cross. It smacks of wish-fulfilment, a game of link up every evil wizard we can, up to and including he who can't be named.
Despite that slightly clumsy (at least I thought so, others are declaring it a genius inclusion – what do I know?), I did think the climax, fought on the astral plane and in the seedy environs of London, is fantastic, perfectly paced, with O'Neill's visuals matching Moore every step of the way.
It builds and builds, until the brightest yet thematically darkest bit of League history comes crashing down for a 70s punk epilogue, and O'Neill shifts to a 70s palette of dour, cold, dirty protest browns.
Next time it's Century 2009, but will there be a League around to experience it?
(Shhh… you know who. From Century 1969, by Moore and O'Neill)
So, here we are….. and having read the entire League a couple of times during this, and having read 1910 and 1969 God knows how many times, I have to say I've completely changed my view of the whole League series.
In fact, I've just, in preparation for winding this up, read 1969 once again. And it's just damn brilliant stuff. It rewards me each time, with each re-reading, with something else, some minor part falls into place, it just builds and builds and builds and builds into something really wonderful.
It is truly a wonderful, magnificent comic. Not that I'd have known on that first, frustrating read. And I fully expect, when Century 2009 eventually rolls round (meant to be Spring 2012, but expect it to shift to later in the year) to find the same frustrating first read and a book that just gets better and better and better with repeated reading.
Sure, there are faults with it all being too draped in references, but hopefully, in the course of reading this far, you've been witness to how, provided you actually read it for yourself rather than being overly concerned that you're getting it all, it's something that really rewards repeated readings.
It's not the best thing Moore's ever written, but bloody hell, it's close. And I'd never have said that after reading 1969 for the first time, what seems like so long ago.
I shall leave you, dear reader, thanking you kindly for staying this long, with a little treat, an image borrowed from The Mindless Ones recent (and as always, quite brilliant) look at some of the greatest League moments – as we meet the League in Volume 2, stepping from their carriage to face the threat of Martian invasion. Quite simply perfection in comic form:
Okay, having got all that over with, I must admit, I did succumb to one further reading of the whole damn thing, this time with a laptop and various annotation sites open. And although I hope I've shown you it's not, as I once thought, essential to do so, it does open the whole thing up even more. Should you wish to do the same, here they are:
Jess Nevins is pretty much the go to guy for your League annotations: Volume 1, Volume 2, The Black Dossier, Century 1910, Century 1969.
But with this latest volume several other mad souls have stepped into the breach, all with something worth reading…. The Mindless Ones blog annotations to Century 1969 are excellent: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 (and a fourth to come). And Newsarama have produced a cheat sheet for our US chums, who may be a little bemused by all the Brit-centric stuff.

There exists a weight of intellectual pressure to appreciate and have affectoin for League, Richard, but I'm not as determined to love this series as you are. Put as much time and effort into those Star Wars prequels (or most 'packed' works, really) and I suspect that one would come away satisfied.
I'd like to see Moore go back to Victorian times with another League. There are plenty of other great characters he could use, like a team of Irene Adler, Sexton Blake, Van Helsing and Spring-heeled Jack.

Pneumonia is a common illness affecting approximately 450 million people a year and occurring in all parts of the world. It is a major cause of death among all age groups, resulting in 4 million deaths annually – 7% of total world annual deaths.1
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats facing us today.
Without effective antibiotics many routine treatments will become increasingly dangerous. Setting broken bones, basic operations, even chemotherapy and animal health all rely on access to antibiotics that work.
NHS England has urged healthcare professionals to "focus on improving early recognition and timely treatment of sepsis." Based on DNA Flow technology, the Sepsis Flow Chip can detect a wide range of pathogens and antibiotic resistant genes from patient blood cultures.
A revolutionary new rapid test to support clinicians in countering the threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has been developed by the international biotechnology company Master Diagnostica and is being exclusively supplied in the UK through Oxford Biosystems.
The British In Vitro Diagnostics Association represents the IVD Industry in the UK, to Government, professional bodies, the public, and at the European Diagnostic Manufacturers Association. BIVDA promotes the clinical and cost utility of IVDs in the provision of effective healthcare, both in acute diagnosis and in the prediction and prevention of disease.
Labsystems Diagnostics has been a pioneer in diagnostic development for 30 years. The company develops, manufactures and markets high quality enzyme immunoassays (EIA and FEIA) and rapid Point of Care (POC) tests globally for clinical laboratory use, home use and doctors offices.
As a result of the new distribution agreement, Oxford Biosystems will represent Labsystems Diagnostics in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The Labsystems products for infectious diseases and gastrointestinal disorders will complement the existing Oxford Biosystems product range extremely well. As a pioneer in Newborn Screening (NBS) Labsystems have a range of high quality products and instrumentation that we are looking forward to introducing to our customers.

This weekend, I started reading Feel Free, the new collection of essays by Zadie Smith (it's great), and "Generation Why?," a 2010 piece from the New York Review of Books, was the first one I read. Despite written eight years ago, the essay – and its two statements below – was useful for my current dilemma concerning Facebook: Should I stay or should I go?
"When a human becomes a set of data on Facebook, he or she is reduced. Everything shrinks. Individual character. Friendships. Language. Sensibility. In a way it's a transcendent experience: we lose our bodies, our messy feelings, our desires, our fears."
"It feels important to remind ourselves, at this point, that Facebook,…was designed by a Harvard sophomore with a Harvard sophomore's preoccupations."
