Lee Kaufman, Potentate

Greetings to all, May has been a very busy and successful month, the Circus is complete and a job well done by all. It takes a dedicated team to pull off an event as large as the Circus, from the Chairman to the ushers, all the Nobles, wives, children, friends and oth-ers who make this a great venue, Thank You All. I attended Grand Lodge in Lewiston with my traveling companion, Lady Peg-gy, and it was great to renew old friend-ships. We also attended the Grand Chapter and Council banquet. The Island Party was a fun time for all who attended. The decorations were great, the food was excellent and the music fit the theme of the evening. The party at-tendees joined in to dance to the recording done by the Music City Trip members, re-corded at RCA Studio B in Nashville. Peggy and I, along with HP&P Robert Turner and Lady Bonnie, were guests of Luxor Shriners at their Spring Ceremonial and Temple Visitation. Luxor Shriners had nineteen candidates who became new members. May 11th Anah supported the Children’s

Clinics in various communities and sev-eral referrals were made to the Hospitals. Always remember that referrals can be made at any time, by any Noble, to the hospitals by calling 1-800-237-5055. Anah will be off to the Imperial Session in Indianapolis when you receive this edi-tion of the Anahgram. The Love of Chil-dren Tour sendoff will be at the Shrine Center on July 8th hosted by the Daugh-ters of the Nile, Ankh #160. The Supreme Queen will also be present for the sendoff. The information for the Fall NSA in Cornwall is in this issue and I hope we can have a large turnout of Nobles at this event.

Yours in faith,

Hello Nobles and Ladies! I can’t believe it is almost time for the June 22nd Ceremonial in Newport. Many of us have been busy preparing for this event. I wish to thank those of you who have volunteered to assist us. I hope to see many of you at the different events planned for that weekend. May 7th Potentate F. Lee and I attended the Grand Lodge of Maine session in Lew-iston. We enjoyed our stay with our Ma-sonic family. Anah Clowns prepared a delicious meal for the doctors and nurses

from the Springfield Shrine Hospital. This was held at the Bangor Masonic Center on May 16th. Those in attendance enjoyed the evening speaking with the doctors and nurses and thanking them for all that they do for the children. Anah’s Potentate, F. Lee Kaufman, presented an award to Dr. Drvaric and his staff for over 20 years of traveling to Bangor for the EMMC Clin-ics. The clinic was held on May 17th at Eastern Maine Medical Center with sixty plus children/patients attending the one day clinic. The Island Party has come and gone. Those attending enjoyed an evening of de-licious food, a Jimmy Buffett atmosphere, great island music, and dear friends. Thank You for supporting this special Is-land Party!

May 29 we visited with the Academi-cians at the Happy China Buffet in Ban-gor. They are busy preparing for the June 22nd Ceremonial in Newport. During the evening a new Noble joined their group. It is nice to see young Nobles and their families joining units and clubs. This is the “future” for Shrine. The weekend of June 1st we traveled to Fredericton NB to attend Luxor Shrine’s Ceremonial and visitation. High Priest and Prophet, Robert Turner and his Lady Bonnie traveled with us. Bonnie and I got to meet a Shrine hospital patient, young Mercedes who has Spastic Diplegic Cere-bral Palsy. What a beautiful little girl! Shrine Ladies ,do you know you also can have access to shrinersvillage.com as a Shriner’s Lady? This is a very valuable website for Nobles and their Ladies.

Here we are, July, the back side of sum-mer. Parades this month will be Winslow and Eastport on the 4th; we will have to split the unit for this one. On the 20th part of the unit will do St. Albans and Pitts-field, while the rest will do Lincoln. Spe-cial Olympics was our first parade wear-ing our new helmets. I think we will live thru it. We will be having our golf tourna-ment on July 27th at the Piscataquis Golf course in Guilford; lot of great prizes plus a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu for a hole in one on the 6th hole. Birthday wishes this month go to Dar-lene Emmons. I have the number 16 after her name, don’t know if that is her age or birthdate. Anniversaries this month are Craig and Sandy Bussell. It takes quite a girl to put up with Craig! Any new Nobles that would like to join a unit, we meet the first Monday of the month at the Shrine Center, at 700p.m. We would love to have some new members. Remember those Blue Lodge’s that go dark in the winter, they are up and going strong now. Let’s give them a hand and enjoy the fellowship. Until next time, SEE YA!

Greetings Nobles and Ladies. For those of you looking for my usual long article, let me apologize right now as I don’t have much to report. First and foremost, I need to inform everyone in Anahland that the Noble of the Year night is still on to honor the life of Chief Rabban Tom Clukey. One big change is that the date is going to be on September 28th and not the date report-ed in previous Anahgrams. So mark your calendars with this date so you won’t miss the evening honoring Noble Tom Clukey. Tickets are now ready and will available from the Recorder’s office or any Second Section member. The June Ceremonial will be behind us when you read this Anahgram, so stay tuned for the August Anahgram for infor-mation on that event. Don’t forget that there are still raffle tickets available for the various sport vehicles being drawn at the Potentate’s Reception on October 26th. Tickets are only $1.00 each. Good luck to all. With the summer months upon us we will not meet again until Friday, Septem-ber 6, 2013 at the ShrineCenter. Our an-nual summer party will be discussed at our June meeting and will be posted in the August Anahgram. We still have Shrine glasses and Shrine throws (blankets) available through our Quartermaster Harland Williamson. He can be reached at 458-8084. July birthday wishes go out to Nobles Matthew Clark, Robert Clifton, Jim Dunn, Gregory Currier, Burham Gaff, Gerald Jackson, Kristopher Rideout, Joe B. Rol-lins, , Andy Upham and Ladies Amy Gaff, Dacia Nason, and Peggy Sisson. Happy July wedding anniversary to Adam & Jamie Beals, Doug & Robyn Dulac, Doug & Gigi Hardison, David & Lynn Scripture, Larry & Sharon Sherman and Richard & Jeanette Tardiff. Until next time, have a safe and enjoy-able summer.

Noble Fred Patterson, Reporter

Tri-County Shrine Club and the Knights of Columbus held their 45th annual meet-ing on the 15th of May at the K-C Hall in Dexter. That’s right, 45 consecutive years that these two fine groups have been breaking bread together. After a libation hour hosted by the Knights, the meeting was called to order by Grand Knight John Parola. The invocation was given by PP Recorder Larry Hersom. Flag Salute was led by Grand Knight Parola. After an excellent meal put on by The Bakers Table from Corinna, Grand Knight Parola proceeded to introduce the head table. He first introduced President of Tri-County Shrine Club Doug Dulac. Presi-dent Dulac then introduced the Shriners half of the head table, Secretary David Mosley, Treasurer Marty Taylor, VP Dan Costain and Illustrious Potentate F. Lee Kaufman. Grand Knight Parola then intro-duced the Knights half of the head table, Nick Grass, Commander of the Maine State Police Tac Team, Chris Tremblay, Maine State Police Tac Team, Randy Ke-aton, Member of the Maine State Police Tac Team, Chris and Randy are both na-tive sons of Dexter, State Warden John Deetjen, Financial Secretary Richard Bi-lodeau and Treasurer Lee Hersey. Com-

mander Grass gave a very informative talk about what his Tac Team does. There were many questions asked by the Knights and Nobles. One question that is frequently asked of the Team, why do they travel so fast when responding to a call. Command-er Grass commented, would you want us to take our time if a member of your fam-ily was involved in a hostage or shooting situation? The Black Camel has entered Tri-County again, he has called home to that Celestial Lodge above Noble Nate Driscoll. He will be missed by the members of Tri-County. Winner of the 50-50 raffle was Knight Gaeton Landry. Ambassador T-Bob Buck-land was presented with a nice picture of

himself; he is going to use it in the distant future for his funeral picture at the funeral home. The staff of The Bakers Table was brought out of the kitchen and given an ovation by the Knights and Nobles for the fine meal they provided. The exchange of checks by both organizations was handled by Presi-dent Dulac and Grand Knight Parola. This fine tradition of meeting between the two groups started in 1968= in the old Ameri-can Legion Hall in Corinna. Always work on Membership, not only for the Shrine, but your local Blue Lodge. If you haven’t sent in your tickets for Doug’s Basket, please do so promptly. This is our major fund raiser for Tri-Coun-ty Shrine.

After all is said and done – There is more said than done.

Noble Dave Weaver Reporting. With a deadline of June 5th for the July Anagram there is not much to report on, having the Ceremonial a week later than usual makes quite a difference in time frame of assembling the information that goes in our monthly messenger. Usually when we have a Ceremonial Jerry extends the deadline so we can get the Ceremonial information in the next publication. Hav-ing been involved in so many Ceremoni-als I usually have most of my article writ-ten in advance and all I have to do is add the hard figures. Not going to happen this year. I will comment on our performance

Greetings from Schoodic Shrine Club: Sorry the June column didn’t make it into the Anahgram, it must be lost somewhere in cyber space. We held our May meeting back at the Congregational Church Parish Hall in Dennysville on the 15th. Enjoyed a de-licious ham dinner. Our Noble president, Bud Kneeland, welcomed us all and turned the meeting over to our Noble secretary, Dennis Bryant. Noble Bryant informed us of the events going on with Anah Shriners. He also informed us of the untimely pass-ing of Chief Rabban Thomas Clukey. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Brother Brian Mays and I visited Noble Bud Chaffee at the Calais Hospital the other day. Bud was in good spirits and we had a nice visit. He will be moving back to the nursing home in Machias and I know he would love to have a visit from Nobles and Brethren. The Lodges in the 2nd District have just finished the “Bikes for Books” program and 92 bikes and helmets were given out to elementary students from Princeton to Lubec. If you are not familiar with this program, ask your Lodge Master. I know he will be glad to tell you all about the program. Our July meeting will be held at Eastern Lodge No. 7, Eastport, on July 24th at 5:30 pm. Plan to attend and bring another Noble with you. We are hoping to have our Divan Visita-tion at the Princeton Rod & Gun Club on a Sunday in August. Will let you know next month. ‘Til next time!

Noble David G. Beckett, Reporter

at the Ceremonial in my August report. In closing Dean, Alden and I do want to thank all of you Directors who helped make this a memorable moment for our newly created Nobles. Whenever I have a chance to address the new Nobles I always encourage them to look around and intro-duce themselves to one another because it’s very possible that one of them will be Potentate one day. I also want to mention our 2nd annual picnic to be held on Saturday, August the 24th at Richard and Vickie Otis’ camp on

Swan Lake . We start gathering around noon for some social time and later we will partake in some burgers and dogs. If any of you have a special salad or dessert you would like to share I will volunteer to sample it Most Blue lodges go dark in the summer but that doesn’t mean you have to stop re-cruiting for the Shrine. We have to get our numbers up. Until next time, be good to one another, stay out of the hot sun, mow your lawn, weed your garden and swat black flies.

All you have to do to make the world beat a path to your door is lie down for a nap.

It is hard to believe but 2013 is half gone. It is great to have warm weather and fresh veggies from the garden again. And…to be out and about with the side-by-side and back at Schoodic Lake. Summer months are by far the best time of year. The June meeting will not be held until June 19th so that meeting will be reported on in my next article. Please take note that our July meeting was changed to the 11th due to the stated meeting date falling on the 4th of July holiday. It is scheduled to be held at the Lee Pellon Center in Ma-chias. I will report on this meeting in the September issue of the Anahgram. Donnie Wright has gone back into the hospital for more testing but I am told that it will only be for a few days so should be home by the time you read this. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Donnie Johnson and family who just lost his wife Barbara this past week. The June Ceremonial weekend is fast ap-proaching and will be over by the time you receive your Anahgram. I am sure that a good time was had by all who at-tended. A Field Day is scheduled in Dexter for August 10th. If you are planning to at-tend, mark your calendar so you won’t forget it. Happy Birthday wishes for July go out to Past Potentate Clyde Reynolds, Runtz Farnsworth, Joyce Pinkham, Velma Or-cutt, Esther Pellon, Forrest DeMeyer, Jan-ice White, Bernadette Beal, Suzanne Fox and Robert Wood. Anniversary wishes to Ricky & Bethany Foss, Dick & Judy Farn-sworth, Richard & Jolene Farnsworth, Brad & Shannon Prout, Forrest & Anita DeMeyer, Julian & Janice White, and Dan & Janice Thompson. Until next month, enjoy the warm weath-er and your families and friends.

Hello Fellow Academicians: Happy Independence Day! Did you all know that the vote in the Continental Congress in 1776 to separate from Great Britain actually occurred on July 2nd? Yup. Two days later on the 4th they voted to ratify the written Declaration of Inde-pendence document which was signed by members at various points in time over the next few months. Many thought that July 2nd would be Independence Day. But they decided to use the 4th. Anyhow, it is all about celebrating independence which is the important thing. A belated customary gift of $25 has been sent to the Springfield Hospital in memory of our departed brother and longtime Aca-demicians member Randolph Adams. He was a veteran, an active member of the Masonic bodies, and a very active member of the community having been involved in several organizations including serving in leadership positions. He is very missed by his friends and family. Congratulations to Ed Leighton who has completed culinary school. Best of luck to you, Ed, in your new profession. As of this writing we have not yet had the June Ceremonial, so more on that next time. We had a very good meeting at Happy China Buffet on May 29th with about 30 Nobles and Ladies in attendance including Potentate Lee and Lady Peggy. One thing they spoke about was the fun spring trip to New Orleans, Nashville, and Memphis with lots of great sites including Grace-land, great music, and great food. Lady Peggy even got to play a piano that was played by Elvis. Donnie Copeland and his Lady Virginia went on that trip and report-ed it was a wonderful adventure. Thanks very much to Barry Woodard who once again has done a terrific job sell-ing Anah. We are looking forward to the upcoming field day’s events, the picnic in Septem-ber, and the October meeting in Shriners annual raffle tickets for which the unit gets a percentage. Great job Barry! More on all this via emails and Anahgrams to come. Have a great July everyone. And, as al-ways, don’t hesitate to contact me at 989-2617 or rbilancia@roadrunner.com with any news, comments, concerns, gossip, jokes, outright lies, or just plain old com-plete and utter nonsense that you would like to generously share with our Nobles, Ladies, and Anah Shrinedom in general.

12 THE ANAHGRAM

Noble Lyman Blyther, Reporter I open this report with some very sad news. Barbara Johnson passed away on June 1st. If you would like to contact Donnie, his email is donj112@myfair-point.net and his mailing address is 948 Main Street in East Machias, ME 04630. Donnie said that Barbara loved going camping with our group in the early days when Donnie came up with the idea of the Anah Kampers and became our “founding father”. He requested that friends donate to the Anah Kampers in lieu of flowers. I am sure we all feel touched by how spe-cial they both must think our group is. On a brighter note, Holly Sinford had her hip replaced and, according to Billy, she is home and doing well. Her email is gramppeep@yahoo.com and her mail-ing address is 179 High Head Road, East Machias, ME 04630. We had our Spring Camping Outing at the Narrows Too in Trenton in May. What a beautiful spot and we had such great weather. They have a beautiful clubhouse and were great people to deal with. We had Bingo Friday night after our Pot Luck Dinner. The next day brought Potty, Hot Dog Lunch, Chinese Auction and a few played Cribbage and Poker. Donuts were provided Sunday morning. In Potty, First Place went to Darrell King and John Cur-rier and Second Place went to Ellen King and Dianne Carter. For the first time any-one could remember in our Potty history, one team got skunked (we won’t name names). In Cribbage, Allen Chase and Bonnie Whitney took first and Sonny and Faith Colburn came in second. In Poker, Sylvia Currier came in first, Cindy Blyther second and Bonnie Chase came in third. Our next event will be the Blueberry Festival in Machias on August 16-18 at the Lee Pellon Center parking lot (behind Subway). The website for the festival is www.machiasblueberry.com. Those who would like usually get together for a Pot Luck appetizer on Friday at 6:00 pm and a Pot Luck supper at 6:00 PM on Saturday night. We do not have any other planned events as most people just want to enjoy the festival. Cindy and I would like to in-vite those coming in Thursday to come to our camp for a seafood chowder at 5:00 that night. Please give Cindy a call at 321-693-5110 or 207-255-3842 or email us at lblyt@yahoo.com by August 1st if you plan to come so she knows how much chowder to make. We will give you direc-tions to the camp when you call. Our fall (and annual business) meeting is at Balsam Woods in Abbott on September

6-8. Election of officers is on the agenda so please consider running for an office or persuading a fellow Kamper to do so. Reservations for Balsam Woods should be made by July 15th by calling 207-876-2731. Tell Matt or Jamie you are with the Anah Kampers. July Birthdays are: Nancy Bunker, Greg Currier, Ray Ellis, Ron Green, Gil Lanc-tot, Perley Merrick and Carol Miller. July Anniversaries are: Wally & Lo-rena Fenlason, Roland & Dottie Herrick, Doug & Cheryle Monson and Dan & Jan Thompson. As always, if there are any errors or omissions or you have any news, call me at 321-693-5717 or email me at lblyt@ya-hoo.com.

The Chanters had a great time at the Spe-cial Olympics Parade. It’s always great to see the excitement on the kids’ faces. The parade may be the shortest but it’s by far the best one the Chanters participate in - in my humble opinion. I also wanted to give a tip of the hat to our two newest members, Tom Boone and Tracy Lord, who volunteered to drive and

JULY 2013 13 Our fraternity offers much, and asks little. I played for a departed brother a few weeks ago and his widow hugged and thanked me. She said that her grandson wants to join our lodge when he is old enough. Our departed brother was a fine man; he and his wife raised a really nice family. He has 3 sons who joined the craft and his grandson may join. It all starts with a vote. We can all participate in the process. Until next month, be safe and be blessed. If anyone would like to inquire about pip-ing or drumming instruction, please con-tact me at pipingleprechaun@hotmail.com.

Greetings Nobles and Ladies: Another month of fun and excitement is upon us. The Lads and I had a great time at the Husson Graduation. It was held in the Bangor Auditorium. Husson has grown so much that the Graduation services no longer fit inside the Husson gym. Because Husson has a desire to keep graduates and guests dry and our weather being so unpredictable, they have reserved the new Auditorium for the next several years. I’m not sure how the band made out during our traditional College of the Atlantic performance. They traditionally have guests and graduates sit under a large tent. We march them in, and then march out. So I suspect that the Lads got wet in the process. Our next event is a weirdly early parade considering the amazingly remote na-ture of the community. I’ll be getting up around 4am so that I can leave before 5 so that I can be on the ground in Machias by 8am to dress and tune. We follow that up with the Ceremonial in Newport and then the 4th of July in Bar Harbor. We are going to participate in the annual Scottish Tatoo on July 13th. Scottish Tattoos are a military style performance that involves quality bagpipe music instead of ink. As promised a couple months ago, I am going to try to determine which Shrine Unit would the cast of the Dukes of Haz-zard be in. I’ll start off with my ol’ pal Boss Hogg. Boss being a moonshiner would be right at home in the NASCAR unit in his younger days, but given his leadership qualities and prominence in the community Boss would make a great Po-tentate. I think Roscoe and Enos would be great in the Keystone Kops. Cletus (Bosses nephew and one of the deputies) would make a great clown. Cooter would defiantly be in the one of our fine motor-ized units. I can see him driving the tow truck hauling the little cars that broke down. I’m thinking about Bosses nephew Hewie Hogg; he was too useless to be of any service to anyone so he wouldn’t be in the Shrine, because it would help oth-ers. Sheriff ‘Big’ Ed Little was only in 10 episodes, but who can deny that he would be great Oriental Guard. He’d look right in place with a sword in his hand. On the other hand he always wore a motorcycle helmet, so maybe he would have been a key member of the Motor Corps. Finally, what you have all been waiting for, which unit would Bo and Luke be in? They wouldn’t be in a unit. While they prac-ticed charity and were the Robin Hoods

of Hazzard county, at what point did they ever patiently submit to the rule of law. Observing the rule of law is one of the most valuable tenants of civil society and is a characteristic of what makes men Ma-sons. Sure you are saying Boss and Ros-coe were crooks and how could they be in the Shrine and not Bo and Luke? While Boss and Roscoe had ethical issues, they were elected by the citizens of Hazzard County. Bo and Luke never respected that and I don’t think they would be good ex-amples of what makes us Masons. Which brings me to a point, one of the most important tasks that we have as Ma-sons is voting in our lodges. We are ob-ligated to vote for new members, to make sure that they are just and upright members of society. We are also tasked with voting for the normal business of the lodge. We have the ability to vote or not vote to re-imburse the Secretary for postage for the Trestle Board. Of course if you decide to do that, he’ll quit and someone else will have to be Secretary. Given what I know about the job and most lodges, if the lodge Secretary wanted a heated massage chair he’d get it, because no one else wants the job.

We have been holding our Flags high marching in the parades that were sched-uled for June and a full report on the par-ticipation of the parades will be in next month’s report. We are still looking for Nobles to join in our Flag Unit as many of our members have had the Flags for many years and it is their time to step back and let others tri-umph with pride. Upcoming parades in July will be Bar Harbor, in August we will be attending Dexter and in September it will be in Ells-worth. We are planning our annual cookout and kayak trip on the 13th of July. We will go down the river in Brownville Junction with a cookout at Arthur and Julie’s house after. Just a reminder about selling the raffle tickets, we make 25 cents per ticket. Noble Joe Briggs went in for shoulder surgery in May. By now he should be do-ing well but let’s wish him the best.

Summer is here and both the weather and requests for clowns at various events are really heating up. Weekends are really beginning to book up. By the time you read this, the Newport Summer Ceremonial will be but a fond memory. Hope we created a lot of new Anah Shri-ners that day. The unit donated and catered the annual banquet for visiting doctors from Spring-field Shriners Hospital and their staff on May 16 at the Bangor Masonic Center. I understand that about seventy people were in attendance and everyone had an excellent meal and enjoyed themselves. The very next day, Babycakes, Div-It, Fou, Papi, Petals, and Scooter got up very early to entertain the children who had ap-pointments with the Springfield docs at EMMC for the hospital clinic. Clown la-dies Janice Young and Karen Kidder were kept out of mischief that day registering patients and running x-rays back and forth. Rumor has it that Karen racked up five miles on her pedometer. On May 17 at the monthly unit meet-ing, Dennis (Fuz) Dyer was voted from apprentice to full clown unit membership. Congratulations! It always seems that ap-prentice clown years go by very fast when you are not the apprentice! That same night Chopstix did an excellent job enter-taining the children at an event at New-port Elementary School. Dysart’s Travel Stop in Lincoln held a very well attended grand opening event on May 18 and adding to the festive atmo-sphere were Slapshot and Diggah. That same day Fou, Scotty, and Ted EB ap-peared at the annual Adoptive and Foster

Gizmo reports it was hot, hot, hot at the First Annual Piscataquis Heritage Hot Air Balloon Festival on June 1 when he, Pooch, Fuz, Ducky, Swish, and Coota ap-peared at this event to twist balloons and walk about to entertain the crowd. Un-fortunately, no clowns got lifted skyward in the basket of a hot air balloon—what a bummer! Better luck next year, guys. Meanwhile, back in Bangor---Fou, Piggy, Sweet-P, and Ted EB entertained a large crowd of children at the monthly Home Depot Children’s Workshop. As I write this, the Special Olympics Summer Games parade will step off at UMaine in Orono in just two days. This event certainly represents the starting

point of the summer parade season. Let’s all get out there and raise some serious donations to support the World’s Great-est Philanthropy—Shriners’ Hospitals for Children. Remember, no one stands so tall as when they stoop to help a child. Until the next Anahgram, get out there and enjoy Summer 2013 before it, too, be-comes just a memory.

Shriners Hospitals for Children – BostonCelebrates the 10th Anniversary of the Music Therapy Program

At Shriners – Boston, the music therapy program was first introduced in 2001, as the patient care team was researching additional services to improve pediatric burn care and pain management. The program began small with one therapist and has grown into a department with two full time music therapists as well as student assistants. Shriners – Boston is committed to providing the best and most innovative ways to address the needs of the patients. With this commitment, the Music Therapy program has become an integral part of the care plan for the children who are treated here.Music Helps to Heal. Four-year-old Estiven receives musical therapy to help heal his burned arm. While he plays along with an ipod, a physical therapist stretches his arm and readjusts his cast. Later, he will practice reaching and hitting a drum as a way to improve his mobility. Three-year-old Angelina sustained burns to most of her small body. Her parents say the music therapy she receives in her hospital room lifts her spirits and helps takes the focus away from her severe injury. The significance of music therapy also helps the staff at Shriners-Boston. Music therapy has been known to ease anxiety levels and distract from the pain of an injury. It provides comfort to both staff and patients alike.

Shriners Hospital Changed My Life Forever

By: Stephanie Thibault

From the time I started walking my parents could tell that there something wrong with my legs. I still remember crying myself to sleep every night and waking up from a dead sleep screaming in agony. After many of doctor’s appointments and countless referrals to specialists I was finally referred to Shriners; however the diagnosis was the same: “It’s just growing pains.” Defeated my family and I gave up on finding a diagnosis and I real-ized at the age of eight that I would have to live with pain for the rest of my life. A year later we received a phone call, the message was simple: “I have been thinking about your daughter, and I think she has rickets.” Dr. Lawrence Zemel, a doctor who I had only met once was still thinking about my case a year later. After a simple blood test it was confirmed, I had x-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. I remember that day so clearly; I sat on the beach with my mother and cried with joy. My pain had a name. Ever since that day, Shriners Hospital and its staff, especially Dr. David Drvaric, made it their mission to give me the quality of life I deserved. They spent countless hours creat-ing a treatment plan: deciding which medications I should take, making a leg brace and performing surgeries to correct the bowing of my left leg. Shiners allowed me to go from standing on the sidelines, watching my childhood flash by my eyes, to participating in my childhood. For the first time in my life I was not in pain. I can honestly say that Shriner’s Hospital for Children changed my life forever.

Anah Band has been very busy starting off for our season of Parades and Festi-vals. We had a wonderful time in the Spe-cial Olympics parade at the University! The skies threatened rain but not a drop fell on us as we rolled down those tightly

Noble Doug Brockway, Reporter

Summer has arrived at last, and Anah Nobles and their Ladies are busy . . . unit activities, parades, Special Olympics, bar-becues, summer outings, Ceremonial, and preparations for the Northeast Shrine As-sociation in Cornwell, Ont. I came across some interesting mate-rial the other day while sifting through some old Anah historical documents. We were under the assumption that this year was Anah’s 50th Anniversary Circus at the Bangor Auditorium. However, while cleaning out a closet full of old dusty doc-uments I discovered a Bangor Daily News Circus insert, such as we now distribute at Circus time. This was dated October 18, 1924 under the leadership of Ill. Po-tentate George W. Wescott. The headlines read “SPECIAL NOBLES EDITION - ANAH TEMPLES THIRD ANNUAL IN-DOOR CIRCUS Oct. 20 to Oct. 25, 1924 AT THE BANGOR AUDITORIUM”. It featured circus stunts, Barney the dancing horse, January the unrideable mule, Jesse Lee the contortionist, Rae & Rae on the revolving ladder, cyclists, springboard art-ists, dogs, horses and clowns. So we now know there were circuses during the first three years that Anah was chartered, 1922, 23 & 24. In that same edition an ad for John T. Clark Co., a men’s clothing store, adver-tised for men to “come in and pick out your finest suit and overcoat so you can

look your best to attend the Circus”. A big contrast from today’s “jeans and a Shrine t-shirts”, the price of the Bangor Daily News, Oct. 18, 1924, Saturday edition was three cents! I am going to continue my research to see how many years we have actually sponsored a Circus. Important announcement: Through a collaborative decision by Anah’s Di-van, it was decided to initiate new office hours for the summer months. During the months of July and August the Shrine office will be closed on Fridays. How-ever, it will continue to be open Monday – Thursday from 8-12 and 1-4 pm. Regular office hours will resume after Labor Day.Wishing you all a healthy, happy and safe summer!

packed streets. The crowd went wild over our parade favorite “It’s a Small World”. That parade also introduced our backup Wagon Master Noble Jon Lessor to our group. He was kind enough to volunteer to fill in as needed and we will need him soon due to Corey Smart’s upcoming knee surgery. It’s great to have the volunteers that we have to help out as needed. Cer-tainly cannot forget all of our friends that join us with their instruments on our pa-rade float either, we couldn’t do it without them! Machias’s 250th celebration was a great opportunity for us to travel and to spread our music throughout the state. We played the traditional music that goes well at a town’s anniversary such as; When the Saints go marching in, Bill Bailey, Rock Around the Clock, You’re a Grand Old Flag, Yankee Doodle, and Tie a Yellow Ribbon. Always a good time travelling and raising money for the hospitals with our music. Ceremonial was also a great time as we got to celebrate in my home-town of Newport. Very proud to have been a part of the fun. Our thoughts remain with our wagon master Corey Smart as he prepares for knee surgery, he always does a great job

We are very thankful to have Noble Lessor ready to step in to assist, now if we can just get him to pick up an instrument! We are still looking to add some new musicians to our group; we desire to play some more diverse music and more mem-bers would make that job a little easier! Brass, wind, piano, guitar, bass, or piano. Lessons and instruments provided to any and all who will be willing to learn some-thing new. Two Mondays a month for a practice commitment plus some parades to boot. Practices are currently being held in Bangor at the Shrine Center Remember to find that experienced player or an adventuresome Mason to be a noble and take part with us, they are out there. Non-Shriners are allowed to per-form with us for any unofficial events so if you know someone who would like to play that is not a Noble, have them call us.

Greetings Nobles and Ladies, by the time you’re reading this the June Ceremonial will have come and gone. The Funsters extend a huge welcome to all the new Nobles and their respective Ladies and we look forward to getting to know all of you. At our May meeting we discussed which upcoming parades we are attending and which ones we regretfully cannot make. We also passed around a backup Circus attendance sheet to see who made what at the Circuses on an honor system-type of thing. If you haven’t checked your atten-dance off, please come to the next meet-ing or call Todd to let him know! Birthday wishes for the month of July go out to Maeghen Clark, Stephen Batson, Ellain Frost, Jennifer Cookson, Gabriel Arnold, Lois Goddard, Lori Foster, Sam Buck, Mike E. Clark, Daniel Clark, Marc Leclerc, Darlene Allen, Judy Driscoll, Su-san Spencer, Charlie (Cookie Monster) Lindsey, Todd Foster and Ellie Jordan. Anniversary wishes this month go to Gary & Diane Clark, Robert & Nancy Hasey, Denny & Margorie Smith, Bill & Olivia Spencer, Charlie & Beth Lindsey, Kurt & Jessica Gray and Josh & Susan Frost. And remember our next meeting will be held Monday July 8th at the Shrine Center in Bangor with a 6:00 social and a 7:00 meeting.

At this writing, the Special Olympics in Orono is only two days away. This tradi-tionally begins our parade season. Much last minute cleaning and maintenance of our wheelers is yet to be done. Like many other Anah Units, our calendar is filling rapidly and requests are still com-ing. Many of our new members will be assigned a wheeler of their own as senior members place themselves on spare sta-tus. The June Ceremonial in Newport is rapidly approaching. We Wheelers will be ready. As always, on behalf of Anah Shrine and Potentate F. Lee Kaufman, we Wheelers will “ride with pride”. Best wishes and a happy July anniversary to Nobles and Ladies Chuck and Nancy Wood, Ralph and Julie Robshaw, Jerry and Carla McLean, Bill and Louise Holy-oke and Sheldon (the mayor of E.

The May 7th meeting was held at Pat’s Pizza with 27 members present. Old and new business was discussed. The meeting adjourned around 7:10. About ten mem-bers attended the June 4th meeting not re-alized it had been cancelled. Sorry about those Nobles, I guess I wasn’t informed either. At this time, the club is in recess for July and August, and I guess June fell into that category. I hope everyone is looking forward to the lobster feed at Howard Heath’s. Will have more news in next month’s report. I’ll try to keep everyone informed of the next club meeting. Not much news to write about this month. I guess everyone forgot my phone number -- I guess I should look it up myself in case it’s changed. Sorry I have to run - my wife just had a hip replacement. I have been running back

and forth to Portland quite a bit. Whoops!! I should have said driving--everyone knows I can’t run that fast! P.S. She’s do-ing great. After this, I probably won’t be able to catch up with her. Heard a rumor that Wayne’s new boat goes about 60-70 MPH and then one No-ble told me - Bill - that’s when he tows it behind his truck. Then I realized he drives a Chevy so it can’t even go that fast. Also heard he has moved to his castle on the pond. Hope Noble Forrest DeMeyer has a lot of fireworks on is birthday--the 4th. Also was talking to Capt. Carroll Chan-dler of the Lobster Boat Unit. They are looking for a few good seamen to fill some vacant spots in their unit. Check with any member to join up.

The problem with competition is that it brings out the best in products and the worst in men.

Shriners International Experiences Worldwide Interest and Expansion

For many years, Shriners International consisted of 191 temples in four countries: the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe. Thanks to new worldwide inter-est in the organization, ha number is in-creasing. As a result of the great work by the international development committee, the fraternity has been expanding overseas at a rapid pace. “I’m very excited about the international interest we’ve had the past year and I look forward to seeing membership continue to thrive,” said Past Imperial Potentate Nick Thomas, chairman of the committee. In the past two years, there have been three new temples added. At the 2010 Imperial Session two temples – one each in Puerto Rico and The Philippines – re-ceived their charters. This past July in Denver, at the 2011 Imperial Session, Emirat Shriners of Heidelberg, Germany became the 194th temple. In addition, legislation was passed allow-ing dispensation – one of the first steps toward forming a new temple – for Agila Shriners of Mindano, The Philippines. In addition to the new temples, Shrine Clubs have formed in Puerto Rico, The Philippines, Brazil, Bolivia, Germany, Italy and Australia. There is also grow-ing interest in forming Shrine Clubs in several other countries. In order for these clubs to one day be chartered as temples, they must show a gain in membership and create nobles of the Master Masons who signed the petition required to obtain dis-

pensation status which lasts a year. This past year, the number of established international Shrine Clubs rose from 33 to 53. On an individual level, the number of creations internationally has increased from 118 to 1,193 since 2007. “The relationships developed overseas are an integral part of the fraternity’s fu-ture and success.” Said Imperial Potentate Mike Severe. “I really appreciate every-thing Nick Thomas and the rest of the committee have done to spread the work about our wonderful fraternity.”A New Flag is Created After the fraternity’s official name change to Shriners International, a new flag was designed. In response to the glob-al growth, changes to protocol regarding the display of flags and playing on nation-al anthems at Shriners events were made. These changes were communicated to all temples in a revised protocol pamphlet that can be found on the Shriners Village website. Communicating at an International Level To better serve our current international members and to aid recruitment efforts, we are continuing to develop appropriate communication items. Some printed ma-terials are now available in English, Span-ish and French; beashrinernow.com can be viewed in English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese, and we are work-ing toward having Shriners Village avail-able in multiple languages. In addition, one of the biggest challenges – and accomplishments – of the interna-tional development committee this past year was the creation of a handbook for temples sponsoring international Shrine Clubs. The handbook includes sections about the vision and mission, approval processes, responsibilities, ritual and pro-tocol. Clearly our fraternity is meeting a need around the world, it is wonderful to be a part of the enthusiasm and commitment of our international Brothers.

If weather bureaus were really honest, they’d refer to themselves as non-prophet organizations.
