Abstract with Watercolor Pencils

Summer Pond, Jacquelyn Block I am still having fun experimenting with the watercolor pencils, so today I decided to try something a little more abstract. I based it on a picture I took at the Milliken State Park this summer. I found the hints of colors in my original photo and amplified them. I had fun with this little painting. Earlier today I was talking about how I give myself permission to…

Most Beautiful Park in Detroit, MI

Detroit, MI is known for its brutal winters and crime, but it's also home to some beautiful parks. While many people might not think about visiting Detroit for a weekend getaway, there are plenty of reasons why you should! Come with us on a tour of the most beautiful parks in Detroit, MI.

Beacon Park

Beacon Park is a public park in the centre of the city of Lichfield, Staffordshire, in the United Kingdom. The park was created in 1859 when the Museum Gardens were laid out adjacent to the newly built Free Museum and Library. The park has since been extended in stages and now forms 69 acres (28 ha) of open parkland in the city centre. The park is in the northwest of the city centre and to the west of the Cathedral Close across the road from the Garden of Remembrance.

The majority of the park was originally waterlogged marshland and a lake covered the area of what is now the Museum Gardens. The land was drained in the early 19th century and the Museum Gardens were raised with silt dredged from Minster Pool. The large northern area of the park once formed the land and gardens of Beacon House. This land was incorporated into the park when the owner of Beacon House, Colonel Swinfen Broun, donated the land after his death.

William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor

The park consists of the former city-owned St. Aubin Park and Marina and an adjacent reclaimed brownfield. The park area was taken over by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in 2004 as Tri-Centennial State Park to commemorate the founding of Fort Detroit in 1701. It was Michigan's first state park to be situated in an urban area. Phase I of the park's development, which included refurbishing the marina and construction of the light tower, opened on May 20, 2004. Construction of the 6-acre (2.4 ha) Phase II, or expansion, phase of the project began in summer 2008 and concluded in summer 2009. The Phase II project encompassed a parcel of post-industrial property adjacent to Rivard Plaza.On October 22, 2009, Tri-Centennial State Park was renamed in honor of Governor William G. Milliken. The Lowlands section of the park was officially opened to the public on December 3, 2009.

Robert C. Valade Park

Robert C. Valade Park is the newest park to open along the East Riverfront. It features an expansive, sandy beach with chairs and umbrellas, a children’s musical garden, colorful play scapes for kids to climb on, a community barbecue pavilion and Bob’s Barge, which is Detroit’s only floating bar each summer. The park is also home to The Shed, a 3,600-square-foot building that will be used for food, events and programming. This winter Valade Park will feature over-sized outdoor fire places, hot drinks, marshmallow roasters, the Sled Shed (featuring free sleds when it snows), synthetic ice curling, and more.

After the Ku Klux Klan lost its mass appeal in the 1930's, it went underground and attempted to infiltrate Freemasonry.

Racism in Freemasonry

By W. Bro. Fred Milliken

“First one must admit that there is racism in Freemasonry. For many that is going to be hard. Racism in Freemasonry occurs in pockets around the country but rarely in a whole jurisdiction. While some local Lodges are barring Black African-Americans others are welcoming them. If you haven't witnessed racism in the Craft then you are apt to deny that it exists.

One measure of racial attitude is the recognition of Prince Hall by American Grand Lodges. Today all but thirteen states recognize Prince Hall. The ones who do not are the original eleven states of the Confederacy minus Virginia plus Kentucky, West Virginia and Delaware. Within those states are a sizable minority pushing for recognition. And rightly so because Prince Hall performs ritual and promulgates landmarks or tenets of belief that are a mirror copy of traditional Freemasonry with only minor like differences that occur now from one traditional jurisdiction to another. In fact most Masonic jurisdictions declare Prince Hall regular Freemasonry. Some say regular but clandestine. So how can you be regular but clandestine? I leave the deduction up to the reader.

Some say that the non recognition of Prince hall is a "jurisdictional issue". Don't believe them. It is a racist smoke screen. From its inception and throughout a long period of time Prince Hall requested to be included into traditional Grand Lodges. Over and over again the answer was no. Now that traditional Lodges have kept Prince Hall separate, forced them to form their own Grand Lodges and system rather than incorporate them, they now say if only Prince hall was not a separate Grand Lodge we would recognize them.

Of course not so subtle acts of racism are reported quite often. After a Lodge has blackballed every Black candidate that has ever applied for admission in the last fifty years, it sure does have a track record of exclusion. Also failure to offer any Black men an application, failure to even suggest that they would be a fine addition to one's Lodge is equally exclusionary. Many Black men interested in joining a traditional Lodge are told to go apply at Prince Hall not here. The practice of a secret ballot for the approval of admitting visiting Brethren is a way used in some areas to keep Black Master Masons from another jurisdiction out of the Lodge. Another practice is to admit a Black visitor but refuse to open the Lodge substituting a Masonic education talk instead. The Grand Master of Texas in 2004 expelled The Philalethes Society from the state because its Dallas Chapter asked a Prince Hall Mason to address it.

For those that would still like to deny the charge of racism in Freemasonry let's look at the number of Black Master Masons in a jurisdiction. Now some states have a very low Black population so looking at this statistic would be meaningless in their case. . Let's just take the top five in Black population. New York has 3.5 million blacks. Florida, Texas, California and Georgia all have slightly over 2 million. 895,000 Blacks have been added to Florida's population between July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004. That is the largest numeric increase of any state in the nation. Georgia and Texas added 61,800 and 45,000 respectively in the same period. (1) These five states account for about 30% of the nations total population of Blacks who are on a statistical average of 13.4 % of the total US population. If we took that 13.4 % figure might we assume that traditional Grand Lodges should reflect 13.4% of their membership being Black? Not really because we need to put Prince Hall in the equation. So let us say for arbitrary purposes that 75% of those Blacks who would be Masons automatically opt for Prince Hall. That leaves us 25% 0f 13.4% or 3.35% that we should find in traditional Lodges. That is a rational and reasonable guess and because it is a guess we will allow for a wide divergence. The only one of these five states I have any experience with is Texas. I have visited numerous Lodges as well as a Grand Lodge Communication. The last year I have membership figures for the Grand Lodge of Texas is 2003 when there were 112,977 Masters Masons. 3.35% would be 3,784. It would be nice if Grand Lodges kept statistics of minority membership. Maybe they do but they are not sharing them with the rank and file . So I leave it to you. Do you believe that there are 3,784 Black Masons in the Grand Lodge of Texas? I do not.

We have made the best case we can make. But how did this come all about? Historically didn't Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King with help from Federal Troops and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 erase separate but equal and institute integration civilly years ago? What happened with Freemasonry? Why are we having this battle 40 years later?

The hypothesis that keeps coming back is that after the Ku Klux Klan lost its mass appeal in the 1930's, it went underground and infiltrated and mated with Freemasonry. The Klan was very emphatic that it was a Christian organization, hence the burning cross. Its white hooded robes were said to imitate the Knights Templars, its secret handshakes and oaths - Freemasonry. It was also billed as a fraternal organization, one which advocated white supremacy, opposed gay rights and was anti Semitic, anti Catholic and anti immigrant. So the KKK was Christian and fraternal and used to secrecy.

In the 1920's the Klan had a membership close to 4 Million; 15% of the eligible population were members. Freemasonry in the same period had a membership around 3 million and at its very peak in the 50's and 60's just barely topped 4 million. By the middle of the 1930's KKK membership had dropped into the thousands. Where did they all go? Is it not possible that they went straight into Freemasonry to legitimize themselves? What would be more attractive to them than a highly regarded organization that made full use of the secret ballot thus enabling them to carry out their mission of a society of only white, Protestant Christian and English speaking people. And isn't this what American Freemasonry has become? - White, Protestant Christian and English speaking. And the way it stays that way is that you black ball everybody else.

Somebody has not been guarding the West Gate. Masonic tolerance has been reformed to tolerate intolerance.

Every attempt at a solution is met with you can't do that. You can't tell another Grand Lodge what to do, to think, how to act. Nor will any higher Masonic Institution ever be created to do just that. Then there are those that say just wait another 40 years for all the old racists to die off. Now there is a brilliant solution. Do nothing and the problem will disappear all by itself. Perhaps the problem is in the lack of a national American Masonic identity and to the abuses of the secret ballot. For a more in depth discussion of solutions see issue no. 4 of Masonic Magazine.”

Napa, CA (No. 2)

The Napa River, approximately 55 miles (89 km) long, is a river in the U.S. state of California. It drains a famous wine-growing region, called the Napa Valley, in the mountains northeast of San Francisco. Milliken Creek and Mt. Veeder watersheds are a few of its many tributaries. The mouth is at Vallejo where the inter-tidal zone of fresh and salt waters flow into the Carquinez Straits on San Pablo Bay.

The Napa River rises in northwestern Napa County just south of the summit of Mt. St. Helena in the Mayacamas Mountains of the California Coast Ranges. The source begins as seasonal Kimball Canyon Creek in Robert Louis Stevenson State Park at an elevation of 3,745 feet (1,141 m) which descends the southern slope of Mt. St. Helena to Kimball Canyon Dam. It flows south for 4 miles (6 km), entering the head of the slender Napa Valley north of Calistoga. In the valley, it flows southeast past Calistoga, St Helena, Rutherford, Oakville and through Napa, its head of navigation. Downstream from Napa, it forms a tidal estuary, entering Mare Island Strait, a narrow channel on the north end of San Pablo Bay. It discharges into San Pablo Bay through the Napa Sonoma Marsh.

Most Famous Picnic Place in Michigan

Michigan is a state that is known for its natural beauty and outdoor activities. There are many excellent places throughout the state where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, including picnic spots that offer great views and access to nature, including lakes and streams.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, America’s first National Lakeshore, is along the southern shore of Lake Superior in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula. With stunning beaches, 10 inland lakes, and nearly 100 miles of trails, everyone can find something to enjoy at Pictured Rocks!

No matter the time of year, there is something to do at Pictured Rocks!

Summer: visit beaches, backpack, and camp (permit required). Looking for views of the cliffs? The best way to see the cliffs is from the water on a commercial boat tour.

Fall: Autumn colors in the Upper Peninsula are often breathtaking, drive the park roads to view the changing leaves! Hunting and fishing opportunities (state regulations apply) abound during fall!

Winter: Cold weather brings otherworldly frozen waterfalls, called “curtains”. Snowshoeing, skiing, and ice fishing are other popular winter activities. Check road closures and conditions before heading into the park in the winter.

William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor

William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor is located in the heart of Detroit, just east of downtown, along a portion of the city’s Detroit Riverwalk, which provides easy access for fishing, biking, walking and rollerblading.

The park is divided into three areas, including the harbor, the picnic shelter area and the popular berm area. Thanks to recent renovations, the berm now boasts an accessible walkway, handrails and new trees, shrubs and grass. The berm area is especially popular for picnics and wildlife viewing.

At the top of the berm, visitors can view the river and our neighbors in Canada through two new spotting scopes, courtesy of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge and Enchroma, that provide an enhanced color view for visitors who are color blind. The berm also boasts an accessible walkway and handrails.

The state harbor provides 52 slips, as well as showers, a laundry facility, grills and picnic tables.

The park is conveniently located near the Outdoor Adventure Center, Belle Isle Park and many other major downtown Detroit attractions.

Tahquamenon Falls State Park

Tahquamenon Falls State Park encompasses nearly 50,000 acres and stretches 13-plus miles in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The park is home to multiple campgrounds, overnight lodging facilities, a boat launch, more than 35 miles of trails and multiple overlooks to the Upper and Lower Falls.

The 200-feet-wide Upper Falls is one the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River. The river’s amber color is caused by tannins leached from the cedar, spruce and hemlock trees in the swamps drained by the river, and the extremely soft water churned by the action of the falls causes the river’s trademark large amounts of foam. Just 4 miles downstream is the Lower Falls, consisting of a series of five smaller falls cascading around an island. The falls can be viewed from the riverbank, all-accessible Ronald A. Olson Island Bridge (honoring DNR Parks and Recreation Division chief) over the Tahquamenon River or by a rowboat rented from a park concession. Drone use is prohibited.

RenCen View, Jacquelyn Block In a few weeks we will be visiting the River Walk for our final Paint-out of the summer. I thought I should finally paint this view of the Renaissance Center from Milliken State Park. Last year’s paintout was on a beautiful sunny day with a few puffy white clouds to make for a more interesting sky. I had my youngest son with me so we didn’t stay at any one location…
