2021-03-Trestleboard Greetings Brethren, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Welcome to March. The year seems to be flying by. I can’t believe the first quarter is almost over. We have had a lot happening in our Lodge since the first of the year. So far, we have had two Open Books, a MELT meeting, a Master Mason return, a Masonic Outing at Rock & Brews in Oviedo and we also had an E.A. degree at the end of February where we initiated two new Brothers, Father and Son, Michael and Ben Bledsoe. Please join me in welcoming them both to the Fraternity when you get the opportunity. March is already ramping up to be a busy month. The Right Worshipful District Luke Leonard Deputy Grand Master will be having his official visit to our Lodge at the first stated Warshipful Master meeting of the month which will be March 9th. During this meeting, your Lodge will be presenting to the DDGM, Winter Park Lodge’s vision for the next 5 years. If you are interested in hearing where your upcoming Officers see your Lodge in the coming years this might be a wonderful meeting to attend if you are feeling up to it. We will also be announcing the next Masonic outing for March. We are trying hard to put some outings together that will give us all the opportunity to do some things in a safe way that will bring us back together and allow for some great fellowship. I hope as many of you as possible will try to attend these outings. If you have any idea’s or want to know more about when, where, or what we will be doing for our Masonic outings in any given month please feel free to reach out to Senior Steward, Preston Weis, who has agreed to take the lead on putting together these outings. At the first stated meeting in February, I presented the first Mason of the Month for January 2021 which was given to our own Senior Warden, Billy “The Silverback” Triplett. He has really stepped up to the plate this year and has taken upon himself a lot of responsibilities within the Lodge and has also been a huge assistance to me thus far. I want to thank him again publicly for being a big help to me and being available to me whenever I have needed him. Thank you again my Brother. As always, we will have two stated meetings in March, Open Books on the 27th, and a Masonic outing will be announced, and a date specified probably at the first meeting. I hope you all will do your best to come out if you feel comfortable and support your Lodge and Officers. As always, I hope 2021 brings you all health and happiness, but most of all I hope it brings us all back together. God Bless my Brothers, and God bless the United States of America.

It’s hard to believe that the first quarter of the year is almost done already. What a tremendous start we’ve gotten off to under the leadership of W:.M:. Luke! Attendance is rising at our stated meetings and some sense of Billy Triplet normalcy seems to be back after the last year of dealing with Senior Warden Covid. Let’s hope and pray we continue in this direction and less people get sick. We are gearing up for a busy spring and summer and are excited about it. We have a Fellow Craft degree scheduled for March 11th. If you would like to be in the degree get with our J:.W:. Bro. Russ. If there’s anything your officers can do for you please don’t hesitate to ask! DO THE WORKS!!! Fraternally, Bro. Triplett aka (Silverback) Did yo u kn o w yo u cou ld be com e a p erp etu a l memb er an d ne v er con cern y o urs e lf wi t h dues again?

Without wanting to jinx anything, it looks like 2021 is off to a much better start then 20/20 was! That being said, I would like to reach out to all of you and ask you to do one thing in this coming month. Reach out to the brothers that you have not seen in Lodge for sometime Russell Anderson Junior Warden and invite them to dinner prior to meeting. There are brothers who have gotten out of the habit of coming to lodge because of the 20/20 Madness and some of them may just need a nudge in the right direction. Myself, the stewards, and other brothers who have kindly step forward to help will do our part to make sure they have an enjoyable meal. I would like to give a special thank you to brother Juan Carrero and his very gracious wife for preparing that delicious Venezuelan meal we all enjoyed! If any of you Brothers have an interesting meal idea please don't hesitate to reach out to me I will see if we can make that happen. Russell Anderson Junior Warden Reminder: The 3rd Tuesday of every month, there will be Degree Practice at 7 PM at our Lodge. Please come out and join and learn some Ritual! Are you connected?

  • Essay: the Grand Poobah and Gorillas in Our Midst: Enhancing Civil Justice
    ESSAY: THE GRAND POOBAH AND GORILLAS IN OUR MIDST: ENHANCING CIVIL JUSTICE IN THE FEDERAL COURTS—SWAPPING DISCOVERY PROCEDURES IN THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND OTHER REFORMS LIKE TRIAL BY AGREEMENT Mark W. Bennett* ABSTRACT Most commentators agree that the vanishing plaintiff and the vanishing civil jury trial in federal courts are primarily the result of the skyrocketing costs of lit- igation, especially discovery. I agree, but stand virtually alone in my view that the root of the problems and any solutions lie in the distinction between “trial law- yers” and “litigators.” The rise of the “litigation industry” fueled by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and driven by the leveraging of litigation law firms, has become the eight hundred pound gorilla in our “midst.” So-called “experts” on discovery and the Rules have been writing about, tinkering with, and nibbling at the edges of the Rules since their passage in 1938—and the system is now more broken than ever. It is no coincidence that the demographics of the Judicial Con- ference Advisory Committee on Civil Rules has been, and continues to be, domi- nated by judges, lawyers, and law professors with primarily “Big Law” litigation experience. Reducing cost and delay and increasing the role of trial by jury requires bold action. After being anointed the Grand Poobah of the Federal Courts for a day—my primary cure—strong medicine indeed—is to switch the discovery par- adigm for criminal and civil cases. By rule, federal criminal discovery depends almost exclusively on the mandatory disclosure requirements triggered by a sim- ple request from the defendant.

    Silicon Flatirons A Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Conference Report Getting Beyond Command-and- Control Regulation in Wireless Spectrum Tyler Cox and Megan Coontz-McAllister† April 2015 † Tyler Cox, Technology Policy Fellow, Silicon Flatirons, J.D. University of Colorado Law School, 2014, Megan Coontz McAllister, J.D. Candidate at the University of Colorado Law School, 2015. Summary The reasons for departing from a command-and-control regulatory model of wireless spectrum include increased flexibility, efficiency, and innovation. Properly framing the question is essential to understanding how to approach modifications to a command-and-control regulatory model: is it a question of on or off framed as levers, a question of degree framed as dials, or a question of where and when the regulation occurs framed as layers? Any progress in reforming our modern spectrum regime must evaluate issues like the degree of oversight, the role of technology in the process, how to encourage the trust of stakeholders and the public, what pace is appropriate for these reforms, and how to align incentives with goals. Because effective enforcement is essential to effective regulation, any progress in the regulatory model requires regulators to address challenges in enforcement including identifying sources of interference, resolving ambiguity of harm definitions, and addressing the proliferation of services across all bands. Potential solutions to these enforcement challenges include a system that clearly defines rights and obligations in spectrum, fast-track arbitration processes, methods for crowdsourcing interference resolution, and use of cognitive radios. Introduction On November 14, 2014, the Silicon Flatirons Center hosted the conference “Getting Beyond Command-and-Control Regulation in Wireless Spectrum” at the University of Colorado Law School.

Quizmundo SECRETARY – Bro Nestor Cagingin at [email protected] Website www.whidbeyisland-15.org East Fraternal Greetings Brethren. It had been a busy and productive month of April for our Lodge. I would like to first commend our Junior Warden for the wonderful meal in our Stated Meeting. We have been visited again by the Brethren of LuzViMinda Lodge No. 317. I‟m planning to return the courtesy by visiting them on their next Stated Meeting and I‟m inviting the Brethren to join me… We made 2 Fellowcrafts this month and voted in Mr. Norvi Cruz to receive his degrees in Masonry. Mr. Norvi also joined us when we visited our Brethren to our Annual Visit to Grandview-Trinity Lodge No. 96… Speaking of our Annual Visit to our Sister Lodge, thank you to all the Brethren who supported the long time tradition between Whidby Island Lodge and Grandview-Trinity Lodge. I hope that all the Brethren who attended had enjoyed the meeting and the meal that followed the meeting. Our next event will be the Range Day. I hope to see you then… Fraternally, WB Art Quizmundo, WM [email protected] (415) 793-2501 Commemoration of our 2019 Annual Visit to Grandview-Trinity Lodge No. 96 West The message from the West is written with a little humor…. The term „Grand Poobah‟ has its origins closer to Freemasonry than many may think. Most people recognize the term „Grand Poobah‟ from the popular cartoon series from Hanna-Barbara The Flinstones.
