125 years of Junior Grange Celebrated<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"crier_day2_pic11\"<\/a>125 years is quite the milestone for any organization. Having 125 years of Junior members in the Grange is an accomplish\u00adment we should all be proud of. During the Wednesday evening session, Master Ed Luttrell asked the delegate body and all visiting Grange members what year it was. The crowd responded with \u201c2013.\u201d Executive Committee Mem\u00adber Phil Prelli an\u00adnounced that it was the 125th birthday of the Junior Grange.<\/p>\n

Master Ed Luttrell asked all Junior Grange alumni to stand and a large number of Grange members stood. He then asked Junior Grange Leaders past and present to stand, followed by supporters the Junior Grange Program. Not a single person was seated at that point. Several rounds of ap\u00adplause were given to these groups as they stood to represent their time spent as a Ju\u00adnior or supporter of the Junior Program.<\/p>\n

First Lady Celia Luttrell was asked by Master Ed Luttrell to reflect on what be\u00ading a Junior Granger meant to her. Celia Luttrell has raised three children in the Junior Grange and is encouraging them to include the Junior Grange in the lives of her grandchildren. She said, \u201cJunior Grange is something we all should be proud of.\u201d Celia Luttrell, who is one of six children, said she was quiet when she started out as a Junior Granger but grow\u00ading up in the Junior Grange changed that. She went on to become a Junior Leader.<\/p>\n

A young man come up to her long after he had grown out of Junior Grange and said, \u201cMrs. Luttrell, you have no idea how much of a difference you made in my life because of the Junior Grange.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following Celia Luttrell\u2019s refletion, a few minutes were given to Grange members to share their memories of Ju\u00adnior Grange. Nine Junior Grange Alumni shared their stories from their time spent as Junior Grangers. They told stories of fun times they had at camp and stories about friendships that started in the Ju\u00adnior Grange. There were laughs and teary eyes, and every member of the alumni understood exactly what those who shared their stories were describing.<\/p>\n

Master Ed Luttrell directed one final remark to the delegate body, \u201cFor the work that you did this year and last year to keep the Junior Grange program vital and growing, I thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

To end the 125th year celebration of the Junior Grange, cake was served to all in attendance, starting with the current Junior Grangers.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

President’s Message<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

BY ED LUTTRELL
\nNational Grange President | Email: el*******<\/span>@************<\/span>ge.org<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ed<\/a>The best topping for the ice cream sundaes last night was the recognition of the Community and State Granges who earned the Distinguished Grange Award. The reception was followed by the celebration of 125 years of Junior Grange, or Juvenile Grange as many of our older members remember it.<\/p>\n

Today, the delegates will select the leaders of the National Grange for the next two years. The National Grange began this method of election in 1873 and it has helped keep our process free of blatant campaigning. In the afternoon, the impressive memorial service will be held.<\/p>\n

This evening will be the business meeting of the Assembly of Demeter. The current and past voting members of the National Grange are the Voting Members of the Assembly. Come and find out what the Assembly does and see the three officers elected.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

18 officers up for election<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This year the National Grange will elect fifteen officers to fill the stations and three officers for the Assembly of Demeter.<\/p>\n

Granges hold elections in many dif\u00adferent ways. At National Grange the delegates gather in the session room. The ballet box is opened for one of the positions without nominations and voting begins. As soon as all delegates who wish have voted, the ballot box is closed.<\/p>\n

After balloting is complete, one of the Assistant Stewards will open the ballots one at a time and hand the bal\u00adlot to the other Assistant who reads out the name. The Secretary repeats the name and then announces the num\u00adber of votes the person has received to that point. If no one is selected in that round of voting, the ballot box is opened again and the Assistant Stewards reverse roles for the ballot counting. This process continues until someone has a majority of the votes, half plus one.<\/p>\n

Stephen Coye, Master of the New York State Grange says, \u201cThere is no more democratic way to have an elec\u00adtion than the way the National Grange does it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

New Grange Youth brand unveiled<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

For decades, the National Grange Youth Department has used a key chain logo to represent the depart\u00adment. Thursday morning, the Youth and Young Adults program will be re\u00adceiving a new look. Ad Farm, an ag\u00adricultural marketing company agreed to revamp the design in order to better match the needs and wants of today\u2019s Grange Youth.<\/p>\n

The new logo and design was un\u00adveiled first at the State Youth Directors\u2019 meeting. The rebranded items were then put on sale. The official reveal of the new logo will occur during the Youth workshop Saturday morning.Ad Farm conducted a survey of youth and young adult members to determine what values were most im\u00adportant to them. They realized the cur\u00adrent key chain design was not resonat\u00ading with the youth as it had in the past.<\/p>\n

Ad Farm incorporated aspects that ap\u00adpealed specifically to the youth, while still reflecting the history and values of the organization. The result is a mod\u00adern, appealing look that can better con\u00adnect with youth members.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Former Ag Commissioner speaks at breakfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"crier_day2_pic9\"<\/a>On Wednesday, former New Hamp\u00adshire Commissioner of Agriculture, Markets, & Foods, Stephen Taylor was the speaker at the Salute to Agriculture Breakfast. He talked about the past influ\u00adence of the Grange in local New Hamp\u00adshire communities as well as in New Hampshire state politics.<\/p>\n

Taylor owns and operates a dairy and maple farm near Plainfield, N.H. He has been a local daily newspaper reporter and editor and is the founding executive direc\u00adtor of the N.H. Humanities Council. Tay\u00adlor served for twenty-five years as New Hampshire\u2019s Commissioner of Agricul\u00adture and for 31 years as Plainfield\u2019s Town Moderator.<\/p>\n

Taylor highlighted the impact the Granges of New Hampshire had on rural education in the state. The Grange sup\u00adported legislation that shifted tax dollars from wealthy, industry-heavy communi\u00adties to rural areas for use in public educa\u00adtion.<\/p>\n

Taylor discussed the important role that the Grange played in building in\u00adfrastructure in the state. During the first half of the 20th century, the State Grange lobbied and supported the introduction of the Rural Electrification (REA) Program as well as the organizing of the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative. These programs helped to bring electricity to rural communities in the state.<\/p>\n

Rural Free Delivery (RFD), a service that delivers mail directly to rural commu\u00adnities, was also made possible by the influ\u00adence by the National Grange. The National Grange was the driving force behind bring\u00ading this service to fruition nationwide in the late 19th century.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was once a time,\u201d Taylor said, \u201cWhen it was almost impossible to get elected [to public office] in New Hamp\u00adshire unless you were a Grange Mem\u00adber. That is how influential The National Grange has been in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

John Trimble Legislative Youth Participant excited to serve <\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"crier_day2_pic8\"<\/a>Heidi Henderson of Baldwinsville Grange #1251, New York, is serving as this year\u2019s John Trimble Legislative Youth Experience recipient at the 147th Annual National Grange Convention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a great experience. I have always wanted to be part of this pro\u00adgram. I am excited to learn the final step a resolution takes to become a National Grange policy,\u201d stated Henderson.<\/p>\n

She is looking forward to learning from the other delegates and is finding that everyone has been helpful to her. \u201cThey have been great and made me feel right at home, \u201cHenderson commented. She is serving on the Ag Committee for this ses\u00adsion, which interests her since her back\u00adground is not in farming. Currently, Heidi is a dietician technician knows more about health and education.<\/p>\n

She has been learning about the dif\u00adferent parts of the Farm Bill and some of the issues why Congress has not passed it. The Ag Committee has also been discuss\u00ading the pros and cons of GMO\u2019s (geneti\u00adcally modified organisms).<\/p>\n

Henderson has also been excited to see the regalia and tradition of the opening session. \u201cI learned a lot during the open\u00ading. I have never seen the opening in the seventh degree, it was interesting to see how it is done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Henderson is only an honorary del\u00adegate to this session, so she has a voice and vote in committee work, but no vote on the floor. \u201cI enjoyed seeing resolutions that were created back home come to the National Session for debate and voting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to give my heartfelt thanks to the Grange for allowing me to have this opportunity and for believing in the youth of our organization. I look for\u00adward to a great week and I am excited to see where this adventure will take me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

7 honored as Heroes of the Grange

\"crier_day2_pic7\"<\/a>On Wednesday, November 13th, seven Grange members were honored at the annual Heroes of the Grange Lun\u00adcheon. \u201cThese distinguished Grangers nominated by National staff or officers,\u201d began National Master Ed Luttrell in his introduction, \u201chave been nominated for exemplary service at regional and national levels.\u201d The recipients of the award were presented with two stalks of wheat made from artisan-glass.<\/p>\n

Though unable to attend this year\u2019s National Session, Robert Barrow joined the luncheon via phone and said that he was sorry that he and his wife Dolores\u2014also receiving the award\u2014couldn\u2019t at\u00adtend this year\u2019s National Convention. Robert served as National Secretary and Lecturer before being elected National Master in 1987. He was honored for his dedicated work in seeking and securing a location for a Grange library and mu\u00adseum to house the Massachusetts State Grange\u2019s records and memorabilia. In 1983 the Grange acquired a building in Rutland, Massachusetts for that purpose under Robert\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what a hero of the Grange is,\u201d Barrow stated to the attend\u00adees, \u201cI do know anyone who has been in the Grange fifty years or more is a hero for keeping this great organization alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob and Dolores are honored for al\u00adways taking time to thank members for their service to the Order, and encourag\u00ading and supporting members at Subordi\u00adnate, Pomona, and National levels.<\/p>\n

Receiving her award, Sharon Croucher said, \u201cThe Grange is part of my DNA. I don\u2019t know anything else. I was born into the Grange.\u201d<\/p>\n

Croucher is the New York State Grange Lecturer and has been an invalu\u00adable resource in sharing her opinions, giving advice and presenting critiques as an ex-officio assistant to the nation\u00adal Lecturer over the last several years. Noted for her honest opinions and ideas, Croucher is never afraid to be honest and provide positive solutions to poten\u00adtial flaws.<\/p>\n

Edwin Hadlock has been a lifelong member of Hamond Grange #677 in New York State. Hadlock was a Na\u00adtional Staff Member in 1963 when he served as the Grange coordinator of the Grange\/Peace Corp program in Guate\u00admala. Five years later he was appointed National Grange Youth Director, grow\u00ading the program through dedicated leadership. While in Washington, D.C. Hadock served as Master of Potomac Grange #1.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born into a Grange family. I can\u2019t say enough good about the Grange and what it has done for me and my family,\u201d Hadock said.<\/p>\n

Accepting his award, David H. How\u00adard said, \u201cMy grandparents were active in the Grange right across the street from their farm in Oregon in the 1880s. Grange has always been a part of my life and always will be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Howard is the author of \u201cPeople, Pride and Progress: 125 Years of Grange in America.\u201d He has been involved in the Washington State Grange for two decades.<\/p>\n

Members of Ravena Grange #1457 for over 25 years, Alfred and Vincenne Kirmss have been active in Subordi\u00adnate, Pomona, and the New York State Grange as Master and Lecturer respec\u00adtively and holding a multitude of other positions at all levels.<\/p>\n

Both Kirmss\u2019 have also provided valuable assistance to the National Grange Leadership\/Membership Devel\u00adopment department.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got the letter telling us we had received the award,\u201d said Al Kir\u00admss, \u201cyou could have picked our jaws up off the floor. Grange is not in our blood. I was actually born in Brooklyn, New York. This moment brings back memories of when I was elected Master. I feel as if I had a piece of dried cod in my mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Broaden outlook to find ways to grow the Grange
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nLeadership\/Membership Director | Email: me********<\/span>@************<\/span>ge.org<\/span><\/p>\n

In a period of just a few weeks, Grange growth was rampant in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll share two examples that are emblematic of Grange growth across the nation.<\/p>\n

In one case, an existing Grange was willing to vote in new members, but was less willing to adopt the ideas of these new members.<\/p>\n

As a result, a group of new Patrons opted to form a new Grange nearby. Hawk Mountain Grange No. 2109 was organized in Orwigsburg joining Jefferson Grange No. 1384 and Lewistown Valley Grange No. 1639 as part of the\u00a0 Schuylkill County Pomona Grange.<\/p>\n

At the same time, State Master Carl Meiss, and former State Membership\/Public Relations Director, Lizzie Bailey, were exploring options to sell the Green Grove Grange Hall in northeast Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

As they were seeking assistance to appraise the hall, a few folks stepped forward to indicate their desire to reorganize the Grange.<\/p>\n

So, if you think growth is not possible, I encourage you to broaden your outlook. You never know when, or how, positive actions can occur.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Newest member of the Herd welcomed<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"crier_day2_pic12\"<\/a>The Grangers from New York have acquired a stuffed animal for High Priest Bruce Croucher and he has been accepted into the Grange Herd.<\/p>\n

He is a T-Rex that Bruce has named Rex.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember that the T-Rex had a large body and large teeth as well as an enormous appetite. Probably not a good idea to have him in near proximity with the rest of the Herd,\u201d Croucher said. \u201cI am not sure if there is any rationale behind getting me this particular animal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Croucher said he has created a Facebook page for Rex and encourages everyone to \u201clike\u201d him.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
