He has sung for both Céline Dion and the Pope. He has recorded two albums and co-authored a book. He was born deaf. Jérémy Gabriel, of Quebec City, Canada, was born prematurely with severe facial malformations and other complications, requiring intensive care. He was diagnosed at 6 months with Treacher Collins syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects one in 10,000 babies. It is characterized by head,

Jérémy’s story skull and facial deformities. In addition, children with this condition generally have absent or malformed ears, which can cause hearing loss, as it did for Jérémy. For the first five years of his life, he battled recurring ear infections caused by his hearing aids and because of the malformation of his ears, he could barely hear and had difficulty learning to speak. Jérémy was referred to Shriners Hospitals for Children — Canada at the age of 5. There, the family met Lucie Lessard, M.D.,

a maxillofacial specialist and a plastic and craniofacial surgeon. On meeting her, the family was immediately reassured and knew Jérémy would be helped. Jérémy proved to be a great candidate for the BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid) implant, and he received his in June 2003. After the surgery, Jérémy walked around the hospital to determine what he could now hear. He was fascinated with sound. He had never sung before, but now at the age of 6, he could sing. At his school for the deaf, Jérémy’s music teacher noticed that he had perfect pitch. She began to teach him more challenging songs, which he learned with natural ability. Now in a high school specializing in performing arts, Jérémy is taking speech and voice lessons in addition to his very intense high school curriculum. He is an excellent student and is preparing for a career in the music business.

“If I had never been to the Shriners Hospital, I would have never met

Dr. Lessard and I would have never had the

opportunity to hear or speak more clearly. My

life would be very different.”

Greetings All, it’s March already, the time is flying by. Does everyone have enough snow yet? I have plenty of extra if you are interested, all you need to do is come haul it away, it’s free. Hopefully by the time you are reading this message Lady Brenda and I will be on a cruise ship with a hundred plus of our Shrine friends and family shoveling sunshine, not snow, I’ll fill you in next month on the trip. Lady Brenda and I have been very busy since the last report, We’ve been to Shriners Hospital for Children-Springfield for their after holiday party and recently was at Aleppo Shriners for a visit and had a luncheon and tour of Shriners Hospital for Children - Boston. I highly recommend any Noble and ladies to visit our hospitals, this will pump you up and make you proud to wear your Fez and realize why we do what we do, ti’s all about helping kids. If you know in advance that you’re going to be in the area of our hospitals contact Bob Turner or Dean Hoke, our reps for Boston or Bob Pullen and myself, reps for Springfield, and we’ll set you up with a tour, you’ll never regret it. Don’t forget the Pinky Party on March 28th, it’s a casual evening of fun for all, bring your friends as your guest, it’s not just for Shriners, and don’t forget to wear something pink! The Aides will be serving

up refreshments throughout the evening including some pink specialty drinks, plus a cookout type of meal, burgers and dogs, and we’ll be dancing to The Retro Rockerz until 11:00 PM., hope to see a big crowd. Remember, ‘We never have so much fun... Doing so much good’

Yours in Faith,

“FROM THE RECORDER’S

DESK”Larry L. HersomRecorder, P.P.

It is a balmy 5 degrees as I sit and write this article with light snow falling. It seems like it has been snowing for months. It can’t get any better than this! (For our Florida friends). We are readying ourselves for another stellar Shrine Circus. It will be a great show this year as Circus Unlimited will be the producer of the show with lions, camels, rides for the kids, etc., so get behind Dir. Denny Hill and Asst. Dir. Steve Mosley and the rest of our circus committee to make this one of the best ever. Nobility tickets should be going out shortly, if not already, so please support this temple function by becoming a “Circus Daddy” or purchasing your tickets for family and friends.This month your Divan along with our chief Aide, Gordon Smith and Housing Director, Yogi Seymour will be attending the Northeast Shrine Association planning session in Lewiston to make plans for the Northeast Field Days Sept. 17,18 and 19, 2015. Start making your arrangements now to attend. Being close by, we hope and expect all of our units will plan to participate. Kora has a lot of exciting things planned. Also this month is our Potentate’s Pink Party, March 28 at the temple. Get your pink apparel out, purchase your tickets, and get ready to support our Potentate Jesse and his lady Brenda in this fun filled evening

ushering in much needed sunshine and spring. It’s not that far away, we hope! I am pleased to announce I have been selected by our Imperial Potentate, Dale W. Stauss and Past Imperial Potentate Gary Dunwoody, Chairman of Donor Relations, as one of thirteen coordinators for Donor Relations through Shriners International. I will be responsible for the Northeast Region of the country. That is all for now, stay warm, enjoy the snow, as spring will be here before we know it. Let’s go Pink!

Tri County Shrine Club held their monthly meeting on the 21st of January. President Costain was very pleased with the turnout of 24 Nobles. Usually in January, we have either snow or freezing rain or high winds. Great weather this year. After the Libation Hour, meeting was called to order by President Costain. Invocation was given by Tri County Chaplain, Noble Donald “BoBo” Young. Flag Salute was led by President Costain. The Nobles enjoyed an excellent meal of Roast Turkey and all the fixings. Tri County Officers were introduced VP Arthur “COOTAH” Watson, Treasurer Marty Taylor and Secretary David Mosley. A Moment of Remembrance was given for Noble Theron Ted Perkins. Noble Ted was a long time member of Anah Shrine, The Keystone Kops and Tri County Shrine Club. You will be missed by all. Unit Head in attendance was Dick Dunham of the Convertibles. Representing Bangor/Brewer Shrine Club was President Dan Taylor and Vice President Sped Seymour. Aid Emeritous was Don Mitchell. Newly appointed Chief Director Dan Costain was also introduced. Noble Arthur Watson won the 50-50 raffle. Treasurers and Secretarys Reports were read and accepted. For guests visiting that night, we had Ezra Farley and John Bishop. The Kitchen Crew was brought out and received a well deserved thank you. No further business, meeting was closed by President Costain. NOBLES, IT’S A FACT OF LIFE, NONE OF US LIVE FOREVER. WE NEED TO ALWAYS WORK TO REPLENISH OUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE SHRINE AND BLUE LODGES. WE KNOW NOT WHEN THE SUPREME ARCHITECT WILL CALL UPON US, SO ALWAYS WORK ON MEMBERSHIP.

Noble Fred Beylerian Reporter

The month of March is here with the winds that bring April showers. Hopefully there will be rain showers and not snow showers along with much warmer temperatures. There are three things to like about the third month of the new year and the first month of Spring; daylight savings time, more hours of daylight and Saint Patrick’s Day. Happy Birthday wishes the for month of March go to Noble Steve Trimm and Ladies Lynn Stanhope and Patti Reid. Keystone Kop Lloyd and Lady Katherine Hopkins are celebrating their wedding anniversary. Congratulations to all and may you have many more. Now to the trivia. Last month’s question was: What was the name of the first cold breakfast cereal? Answer: Granula. It’s bran nuggets were so heavy they needed to be soaked overnight to be chewable. That was in 1863. This month’s question is: Who invented the first mechanical excavator? As the Inspector approached the professor’s office he noticed three men in the elevator, at the other end of the hall, just as the doors closed. As the Inspector was about the knock on the door he heard the professor say, “come in Mason.” “You no doubt noticed the three men in the elevator. Well I just sent them on their way. I have held several sessions with them and through a form of psychotherapy called psychodrama I now know they are the scamps you are looking for.” “What is psychodrama?” asked the Inspector. “It is a form of therapy in which patients act out events of their past. What this boils down to is that they are wannabes. They have, in the past, wanted to become Keystone Kops and were blackballed. So, they retaliated by bad mouthing the unit. They are now under my care and the besmirching should stop. Inspector Mason, I believe we call this case is closed.” Thank you, Professor. The time has come to close the “Blotter” for this month and to remember “IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS”.

The Unit is still in recess for another month or two. The boats are still all undercover at Runtz’s Boatyard waiting for spring maintenance. Captain Carroll Chandler and your fearless reporter ventured to the January Ceremonial where we had a chance to talk to a few of the new candidates. Hopefully, we picked one up. Will try to get him to the next meeting. Congratulations to outgoing Potentate Dick Hallett and incoming Potentate Jesse Thomas. Your fearless reporter got caught in Machias one day by Noble Troy Huffman. I told him I was out trying to scrounge up some news. He said Noble Bill Sinford had a bad bout with the flu. Hope he is doing fine. Noble Runtz; is there any snow in Jonesport? Do you think you’ll ever see your pond? What we need is some sunshine to melt all that snow. Hope everyone remembered their ladies on Valentine’s Day. At the rate we are going, we will have enough snow for Christmas in July. Remember, the Unit is still looking for new members that want to have fun operating fishing boats. A special Happy Birthday to my Lady, Faye Geel. Guess I’d better get busy and get her a card and take her out to supper. Other birthday celebrators are Lynn Huffman, Betty Fernald, and Divan Rep Brad Prout. March was not a good wedding month..no anniversaries! Oops! Gotta go..the phone is ringing; must be Runtz calling to tell me we are going get twelve inches or a foot of snow and that we probably won’t see any sunshine until spring.

Noble Ron Bilancia, Reporter Hello Fellow Academicians and Ladies ! It is dues time. A number of members have not yet paid their 2015 dues. Please send checks for ten dollars payable to Anah Academicians to Anah Academicians C/O Ron Bilancia 59 Allison Pk. Brewer, ME 04412 ASAP. Responding to this notice prevents having to send out bills. This saves us significant costs in paper, envelopes, and especially postage. It adds up fast, and that is money we can instead send to the Shrine Hospitals for Children. Much appreciated. The next meeting is the last Wed. of this month, March 25th, at 6:30pm at Anglers Restaurant in Hampden. Come one come all. The January meeting at Anglers was very good with a good crowd in attendance. Officers for the year are as follows: Director: Jon Swallow; President: Micah Swallow; VP: Clint Richardson; Sec./Tres.: Yours Truly; Master of Ritual: Yours Truly; Master of Make-Up: Donnie Copeland; Master of Technicians: Ron Cook; Master of Properties: Bud Young. Thanks to everyone who has worked hard to help Anah Shriners and our unit with raffle ticket and calendar sales recently and over the years. Special thanks to Donnie Copeland, Clint Richardson, and Barry Woodward who really work these programs hard and sell a lot of them. Our unit was awarded several hundreds dollars in 2014 for the proceeds from these efforts. Steve Mosley reports that he thinks it was a very nice January Ceremonial and the whole day went well. He reminds us that we are gearing up for Circus and will need as many members as possible to chip in when the time comes. He has also been spending a lot of free time moving snow around. Donnie Copeland says he’s been busy with snow too and trying to keep himself dug out of it. J

Yes, thanks to everyone for another good Ceremonial in January. We all pulled together once again and did well. Another good time was had by all. We hope everyone who ice fishes, skis, and snowmobiles has had good luck and great fun this winter. Have a great March everyone. And remember, never hesitate to contact me at 989-2617 or at [email protected] with any questions, concerns, news, jokes, gossip, nonsense, or just plain outright lies that you would like to generously share with our Nobles, Ladies, and Anah Shrinedom in general. J PS: If the Patriots’ Super Bowl win tells us anything, it is that nothing is ever over until it is over. Never give up! (Wow. Gotta say, that was one for the books. :-)

Noble Warren Orcutt, Sr., Reporter The January Ceremonial is now in the past and congratulations go to Dean Hoke who was appointed to Outer Guard during the Ceremonial. We also wish 2015 Potentate Jesse Thomas and Lady Brenda a successful and rewarding year. The Washington County Shrine Club 2015 dues notices have been sent out and you should have received a dues notice in the mail if you are not life member or already paid your dues for this year. Nobles are encouraged to by a life membership as it is much cheaper for them and you won’t be getting a dues notice yearly. We are also updating our files for addresses, phone numbers, birthdays and anniversaries of WCSC Nobles. It is an added expense to the club if the information is not correct and has to be resent. So remember to send this information back to the club secretary Warren Orcutt. We are still sending prayers along to Sandi and Robert Look. Sandi is going through another round of chemo and is waiting to hear when she can have her procedure done in Boston. We missed them both at the January Ceremonial, as well as WCSC meetings, and hope that they

are able to join us at the June Ceremonial in Ellsworth. Mike Bailey is still having back issues and went back for an MRI to see if they can determine what is going on. Best wishes Mike. By the time you read this article, one quarter of 2015 will be gone and we all will be looking forward to warmer weather returning. Boy, this has turned out to be quite the winter for all living in down east Maine. The snow banks are getting taller by the day it seems. The bitter cold and snowy or icy road or walking conditions have been daunting at times and I hope that no one has taken any falls. Be safe out there on the roads as it is hard to see past all the snow banks when coming out into traffic. They say the groundhog saw his shadow so we know what that means……6 more weeks of winter! By the time you read this article, hopefully the weather pattern has changed and we are having a little warmer weather. It’s time to see green grass and get into the garden again, not to mention going to the lake and doing other types of outside enjoyment. The Potentate’s Reception and Caribbean Cruise is now done and the word is out that everyone attending had a wonderful time. March is a great time to get away to a warmer climate, especially with the Shrine family. Shriners know how to have a good time! Our February meeting was held on the 5th at Bluebird Restaurant in Machias. This is our annual Valentines Day Ladies Night where each lady was presented a rose from Noble Mike Bailey. This came along with a big grin and a kiss from Mike. The fuel raffle winner was also drawn at the February meeting and Gayle Sprague from Machias was the winner. A camel shaped bottle full of liquor is being raffled off at the August Bob Smith Annual Picnic. WCSC members will be selling tickets from now until August. Those attending the February meeting were: Past Potentate Ed Pellon; Brad Prout, High Priest & Prophet; David Weaver, Director Staff; Walter Merritt, Aide; Joe McDonald, Mini Cars and WCSC President; Troy Huffman, Lobster Boats; BJ Cherry, Ambassador; Greeters: Warren Orcutt, Mike Bailey, and Todd Alley; Gayle Sprague, and Bill Sternberg, as well as their Anah Ladies. The next big event for Shriners is their Annual Shrine Circus which will be held in Bangor on May 1-3 and in Presque Isle on May 8-10. Plans are underway to hold the Carnival again in 2015 in Machias so be watching for information in a later issue of the Anahgram. It was wonderful to hear how successful the Feztival of Trees was in 2014 and we look forward to participating again in 2015. The 2015 Cash Calendar winners are being

drawn daily and we hope to see that some of our Washington County Shrine Club Members names are listed amongst the winners. There was an oversight on the WCSC 2015 Calendar and the Bob Smith Annual Picnic was omitted. The event will be held on August 16th at Kelley Point in Jonesport, as in the past. Mark your calendars and plan to attend. Happy Birthday wishes for March go out to Past Potentate Ed Pellon, Teresa Nichols, Faye Geel, Richard Farnsworth Sr., Richard Farnsworth Jr., Lendal Espling, Betty Fernald, Brad Prout, Shannon Prout, Dick Gardner, Walter Kennedy, Brenda Thomas, Todd Alley, Lynn Huffman, Libby Hersom, Robert Turner, Mike Grant, Lyle Guptill, Glenn Johnson, Donald Joy, Carlton Leighton, Richard Meserve, and Barbara Gibson. Anniversary wishes go to Bill & Debra Sternbergh, Mike & Lisa Grant, and Adelbert and Cindy Pinkham. I hope that each of you enjoyed your special day. Get your new candidates lined up for the June Ceremonial, to be held in Ellsworth from June 18th-21st June will be here before we know it.

The last meeting was held at Pat’s Pizza on February 3rd with 27 members present. Old and new business was discussed. There will be a Ladies Night held in April, time and place to be announced. Vice President Steve Mosley read the introduction of guests and believe it or not, our future Potentate showed up. At this time, we would like to congratulate Jesse Thomas on his new appointment. Glen won the raffle for the evening. I hope he rushed home and told his wife about his new found wealth. The meeting adjourned at 7:05. Next meeting will be at Pat’s Pizza on March 3rd. Noble Bruce Clark – how’s everything in sunny Florida? Would you like to buy a snow shovel? The gun raffle is well under way; the first winner will be announced March 1st. Now for the news. Noble Gary Tyler received his 50-year Scottish Rite pin. Noble Bill Clark is retired after 34 years as Hancock County Sheriff. Noble Jimmy Nolan is getting a bionic knee.

2015 activities started on Saturday, January 6 with our monthly Home Depot Children’s Workshop appearance. One hundred thirteen children were regaled, amused and entertained by two loyal, committed and otherwise faithful clowns in the persons of Fou (Martin Perfit) and Div-It (Duane Young). Fou (Martin Perfit) distinguished himself by becoming the first Anah Shrine Clown to break a balloon in 2015! Ten of our clowns, buffoons, jesters and/or fools made their way to Plymouth, Massachusetts to attend the Northeast Clown Institute. This three day event saw the following Anah Shrine Clowns turn out to take more than our fair share or awards: Fou (Martin Perfit), Iggy (Andrew Matlins), Dumpster (Dennis Dyer), Pooch (Patrick Kelly), Tin Cup (Tom Boone), Sweet P (Kevin Kirkbride), Patches (Shawn Mott), Dim Wit (Scott Kennard), Petals (Steve Watson), and Pop Fizz (Troy Devoe). Fou (Martin Perfit) was awarded Craftsman Clown status while Patches (Shawn Mott) and Sweet P (Kevin Kirkbride) were awarded Master Clown status. Pop Fizz (Troy Devoe) won first place in Character Clown competition as well as first place in Multiple Balloon competition. Pooch (Patrick Kelly) and Dumpster (Dennis Dyer) won second & third place respectively in Tramp/Hobo competition. Dim Wit (Scott Kennard) placed fourth in Auguste competition. Patches (Shawn Mott) took third place

Hello, winter! Unless there’s been a dramatic shift in the weather pattern, we’re all likely looking at several feet of snow in our yards. Hopefully you own and love your snowmobile, skis, or tip-ups. Otherwise, it’s already been a long winter for you. At least the Patriots won the Super Bowl. If you don’t believe me, just ask our Potentate and Pat’s Super Fan, Jesse Thomas. The Bangor-Brewer Shrine Club held a meeting on January 15th at the Shrine hall. Visiting dignitaries included: Sonny Crocker (Past Potentate); Larry Hersom (Recorder and Past Potentate); Al Gibson (Past Potentate); Jesse Thomas (Potentate); Steve Trimm (Assistant Chief Rabban); Don Gordon (2nd Ceremonial Master); and Dan Costain (Chief of the Directors’ Staff). LARGE portions of smothered beef were served and all seemed satisfied. Unofficially, our soon-to-be-installed Potentate served as our guest speaker. He gave us a preview of events for the upcoming Winter Ceremonial and Anah’s busy 2015 schedule. It sounds like it’ll be another fun year for the Nobles of Anah. Denny Smith scored the 50/50 win. I’d like to ask any current BBSC members to please e-mail to me their current mailing address and phone information if you’ve not been receiving our semi-annual meeting notice postcards or monthly calling post messages. You can reach me at [email protected]. Congratulations to all of the new Nobles of Anah. Jump right in and get involved – you’ll be glad you did. Also, congratulations to Dean Hoke, Anah’s recently installed Outer Guard, and all of the other members of the elected and appointed Divan.

MAKE IT A GREAT 2015!

I’m going to try one last time to get my article published. The last 3 have been lost in cyber space, I guess. All I know is I waste my time preparing an article and it doesn’t get published. That’s very discouraging. Now for a little recap on our January ceremonial. Our newly elected Potentate Donald Jesse Thomas made the following appoints: Our new Outer Guard is the Directors old Chief Deane Hoke. Congratulations Dean I know you really wanted this, you’ve worked hard and you deserve it. To make room for the new Outer Guard, Roger Grindle was elected to the Oriental Guide position. All of the other Appointed Divan personnel advanced up one step. Denny Smith and Bobby Buck were appointed Jesse’s personal aides. Dan Costain was appointed Chief Director and Bud Morrison was appointed assistant Chief Director along with myself and Alden Bunker. It was a very good ceremonial, cold as usual but not the ice that we had to contend with last year. Kora Temple was very well represented with about 30 Nobles and their ladies present to support Jesse. Hancock County Shrine Club put on a very successful meet and greet on Friday evening. Jason Snowdeal was in charge of the hors d’oeuvres and he did a real fine job. I guess the most important part of the ceremonial was we took in 11 new Nobles. I hope that these new Nobles will really be supported by their first line signers and introduced to the many opportunities that exist for the Nobility. I guess that’s it for now be good to one another and enjoy the fraternity.

in both Single & Multiple Balloon. Fou (Martin Perfit) earned ISCA certification as a judge qualified for Costume & Makeup, Balloon Competition, and Skits (any number of performers). We continue to demonstrate that the Anah Shrine Clowns are the Joeys to beat wherever and whenever clowns meet to test their skills. Tip of the wig to Iggy (Andrew Matlins) who, in his position as Dean of the NCI clown college weekend, does so much to make this event work so well.

I wasn’t sure where to complain about all the snow and cold weather we’ve had in the article, so we’ll count that as covered in the first sentence:) The January ceremonial was lightly attended by the unit, Capt Ron Dunphy, Brian Strout, and myself. On that note might want to pencil it in for next year, it is a great chance to socialize and to see the results of the fundraising the various units provide to fund the temple and our hospitals. Congratulations to our new Potentate Jesse Thomas and Lady Branda! The evenings meal was well attended as well as the hospitality room . Our January stated meeting was held at 2nd Lt. Scotty McKenna and Lady Tracey’s home. Our quartermaster Steve Tibbetts after many (more than 7 because that’s when I joined) has decided to turn over the reigns to Danny Thaxter . Thanks for your many years of service Steve! Hoping everyone will keep Noble Mike

Beal and his family in your prayers as his daughter Kimmy Beal has been battling congestive heart failure, and is awaiting a new heart. There have been a number of local fundraisers during the month of Febuary, There are two more planned for April 18, 2015 A wrestling match show at Narraguagus High School, followed by a Dance at the Harrington VFW. There is also a GoFundMe page for anyone unable to attend, but that would like to help. www.gofundme.com/Kimmysheart Well, that’s all I have from snow covered Jonesport, if I missed anything...oops . If you have news that needs to get out to the masses please let me know [email protected] . Until next time, be safe, and be sure to support (and attend) your Blue Lodge.

Ken Hanscom Jr. Reporter March, everybody had a great time at our annual meeting, at the Happy China restaurant. Since I am writing this on the 7th of February, I will have to report on the meeting next month. Be ready for our golf tournament on the 6th of June, at the Piscataquis Golf course in Guilford. Well I am always asking for something to write about. This month congratulation go out to Paul and Rhonda Scott on becoming new grandparents. Not only once but twice, as their daughter had twin girls, Lexie and Maggie. And yes folks, we all can stop holding our breath, as they do not look like Paul. Also congradulation to the parents, Kasey and Brandon. Birthday wish’s this month go to my young wife, Donna, happy birthday HON. Also happy birthday to Don Emmons, sorry Don, but the wife gets top billing. Everybody must have been ice fishing this month, as nobody got married. If anybody has news they would like to see in the anahgram, please contact me at 794-6675, 794-2222, or [email protected]. Some Blue Lodges go dark January and February. Attend their March meeting and help bring them back to light. Until next time, SEE YA!

Noble Gaylord E. Sundt, Reporter According to Phil the groundhog’s prediction in February, winter marches on. After biting the mayors ear for disturbing him, he was returned to his den for the next six weeks. So we hope he was correct and that winter will only be here for another 10 days or so. I don’t know about February yet as I write this one week in, but January had enough winter for this year and then some.None of our Florida friends who were offered a trade of our house in January took us up on our more than generous offer. We didn’t want them to miss out on the experience of surviving the ‘Historic Blizzard 2015’. So we toughed it out and now we can brag to our grand kids about it. There is not much in the way of convertible unit news to report on at this time of year as you can well imagine. We’ve not heard much in the way of news from the southern contingent which must mean that all is well there. A few March birthdays to celebrate in March. Lady Leona and Noble Walter Gurschick both were born this month. Does that mean you have one cake and sing to each other? Nobles Ross Grant, Bob Fernald, and George Boyce will be blowing out the candles as well, some more candles than others. We wish all of them a very Happy Birthday!Remember the Convertible Unit Super Supper next month on the 25th! The days are getting longer and we all look forward to spring. Time to start planning your garden, getting your ride( car that is ) ready for warmer weather and putting away all your snow removal equipment. Spring will get here. Make sure your top works.As always, remember in your thoughts and prayers all our loved ones, family and friends.Reporting for March, Gaylord E. Sundt

PAST MASTERSUNITNoble

Gordon E. ReynoldsReporter

Greetings Brothers. I missed a few months of reporting due to having a couple of bouts with double pneumonia. Am on the mend (slowly) now and if we can ever get rid of this cold weather perhaps I can get out and around again. The Past Masters have been busy, however. On November 24 they performed the MM Degree in Pleiades Lodge in Milbridge on Bro. Austin Ronco. They were assisted by Bro. Austin’s gr. Grandfather Wor. Bro. Charlie Phinney. Wor. Bro. Charlie is a veteran of WWII. On January 29 they traveled to Orrington to Ralph J. Pollard Lodge and raised Bro. Kyle O’Connell. We welcome these two Brothers and wish for them a long and happy journey in Masonry. Every meeting is not a happy one. On February 6th they journeyed to Guilford where they had the sad duty of performing a Masonic Funeral Service for Bro. Conrad Rollins Jr. We appreciate the large turnout of Brothers and friends. On a brighter note, we welcome four new members to our Unit, a copy of their application to join is before me. A hearty welcome to Wor. Bros. Audie Gould of Hermon, James A Oakes of Old Town, Dana Robert Wardwell of Orrington and Most Wor. Bro. Gerald S. Leighton of Newport. Remember, you can belong to the Past Masters Unit and ALSO to another unit if you care to. Should you have questions our President is Wor Bro Ken Swett of Carmel (848-3866 and our Secretary is Wor. Bro. Stan Reed (943-5538) Our monthly meetings are at the Bangor Masonic Center (the former Bangor Theological Seminary) at 2:00 pm in the Board Room on the second floor.

THE PINK PARTYBy Charles J. Pray - President

By now, we are sure everyone is aware of the passing of our beloved brother, noble Alton Kenney. The club hosted a wonderful celebration of life and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to share stories of the fruits of Alton’s commitment to the Springfield Hospital. Please keep Lady Ellen and the family in your thoughts and prayers with all they have to deal with in Alton’s passing. The Waldo County Shrine Club, Anah Shrine and the Shriners Children’s Hospitals have lost a dear friend. On another note: Our crack team of Shrine Circus ad sales people have received their assignments and will soon be canvassing the area soliciting ads for this year’s circus. Along with that, our board of directors is commencing their work with fund raising for the Dryden Dutch Memorial Golf Tournament, August 13th, 2015. Once again, the event will be held at the beautiful Northport Golf Club and include lunch before the tournament, a superb steak feed and awards ceremony following golf in conjunction with our monthly stated meeting. As in years past, we will be seeking hole sponsorships as well as any donations to our event along with your team commitments. The tournament will be limited to the first 18 teams to sign up, so don’t wait. Please contact David Bowen or Charlie Pray for more information. We have a wonderful line up of special events for the coming year including Ladies night in May, our annual chicken BBQ in June, along with our family cookout in July. We are working out the details for a “Dinner Theater” performed by the Belfast Maskers so watch for date and time for this enjoyable evening. The club will be holding a work session next month to address a few projects that we’ve had on our “Honey Do” list for some time now. We will send out an e-mail to notify everyone of a date. The board of directors hopes this message finds everyone well, especially the snow birds that are missing out on the wonderful weather we’re having up here. It should

be noted, by the time this issue of the Anahgram is printed, we will be within days of “Pitchers & Catchers” reporting to spring training. Hopefully, that in itself should mean the snow storms should soon cease. Yours in faith, Charles J. Pray - President

Noble Steve Dewitt, Reporter Good March to everyone hope everyone is enjoying the snow and for our friends that go to Florida hope you’re having a awesome winter. We are busy making several new plans hopefully the information will be out soon. Our last meeting was on February 9 and we had a meeting in Ellsworth at pats pizza remember that only a group can succeed in doing great things so let’s all try to make a commitment To participate in three parades this year we wish. All of you having birthdays. A great day. And to all that are celebrating anniversaries we send you love. For March we recognize Ryan Wilson and George Nelson for their dedication to the unit. And there’s a rumor at that the pink party some of us will be there. Maybe with pink. Hair. So we know it won’t be Capt. Todd Foster. To all ladies that are interested in a pink vest, please contact Funster either Steve Dewitt or Capt. Todd Foster with the size the name that you want on it and we can order you one if you send a check to Steven Dewitt 33 Hampden Rd.

Stop the presses. This reporter has just learned what everybody else apparently already knew. Our new Potentate, Illustrious Jesse Thomas, has nominated Wheeler Noble Dean Hoke to the Outer Guard. Dean has been a Wheeler for many years, taking time off to work more directly with the Shriners Hospitals. It can only be said that our Divan Representative, and now Potentate, has nominated an outstanding Shriner to his Outer Guard. Congratulations Dean, and thank-you Jesse, for making the Wheelers very proud. We Wheelers held our annual Anah Wheeler Cabin Fever Super Supper on February 7th. This well attended event is our big event. Every year I’m more impressed with the generosity of our supports. In particularly those who have come every year since our first event back in the late 90’s. You can’t beat loyalty like that. This reporter personally thanks all the Wheeler Ladies who worked circles around their husbands. Ladies, just you presence makes us all more successful. Noble Dale and Lady Kim Jordon celebrated a February anniversary and I missed it. Noble Walter Kennedy celebrates his birthday this March and Nobles and Ladies Delbert and Cindy Pinkham and Kevin and

Sandi Megno will enjoy their anniversaries. May you all enjoy your special days. My next article will be after our Potentates Cruise. I’m all a twitter. Teddy TaTa Reporting

As of the writing of this article a chairperson has not been appointed by Illustrious sir Jesse but there is plenty of time left for that and in the mean time I’ll keep you posted as to the happenings. On January 7 the Feztival of Trees Committee met to discuss our just completed event. Many ideas were presented and it is clear we will hone our operation to a well oiled machine. One of our major hurdles will be manpower and the implementation of a program where each unit and club will be assigned a time and duty and that will be their responsibility to cover that task. This will prevent a glut of people at some times and a drought for workers at other times. This is the format used by the circus and it seems to be working well for them. A few concerns were presented at the meeting and during the 2014 event that will need to be addressed by the Building Association and I look forward to working with them on these issues. If all goes well we will meet our goal of 70 trees this year hopefully expanding our income as well as being able to present an even more splendorous display of Christmas wonder. As those of you who attended the Feztival can attest, the wide eyes and smiles being shown by young and old were numerous. Remember this is your Temple so please take an active part in all fund raisers. It takes a large sum of money to keep this majestic home of ours in peak condition. We will have our next meeting on April 13. That is keeping with the second Monday of the month format. Our meetings are open to those who wish to attend. Until next time keep the shovels handy and the stove full, Bob

Noble Andrew St. Amant, Reporter From our Captain: Hello Nobles I hope you are doing well. As I write this we are waiting for our third storm in at least a week.. Bring on the snow. We are Mainers and will survivor. I would like to thank the nobles that help the Flag Unit in the

opening of the temple for Jan. ceremonial. We got to See Floyd as he recovers from his most recent surgery. He is doing well and will be ready for the parade season. I ask Floyd to look into our April meeting in Ellsworth. It will be April 12th at 1:00 P.M. We will have more details to come on this meeting. We would like to pass on our congratulations to the new Potentate Jessie Thomas, he will do well. That means that this June ceremonial will be in Ellsworth. Saying that the local lodge will be putting on an outdoor third degree that needs to be seen. More details on all of this will be coming out. So This year’s hats have not gone as well as I would like. It took us a long time to get the mock up for us to o.k. then we found out that potentate was spelled wrong on them. I have been working with Jessie to get more from Emerson with the design he likes. We will have them soon. So, Nobles and your ladies , hang in there only few more months and it will be spring. Take care and we will see you in April. Who is blowing out the candles this month? Why it is Noble Walter Lougee. Ladies Lucille Campbell, Cynthia Davis, and Lucy Sprague. Let’s looking at who is sharing some romance. Why it is Noble Arthur Herbest with his Lady Julie, Noble Mike King with his Lady Patty, Noble Walter Lougee with his Lady Linda, Noble Don Moulton and his Lady Bev and Noble Glen McMannus with his Lady Brenda. Happy Anniversary We march so they can walk. Reporter Andrew St Amant

Hello everyone. Has everyone had enough of the snow yet? I sure am tired of plowing the white stuff six days a week. We don’t have any unit news other than we will not have a meeting until April 7. The reason for this is because we have nothing on the calender until the circus. And, as always we will need help for the circus. Birthday wishes going to Nobles Keith Cousins, and Harold Adams, and Lady Susan Adams. Until April be safe and stay warm.

Noble Warren Orcutt, Sr., Reporter As I write this article I realize that summer is slipping away very quickly. Fall is fast approaching and the leaves will soon be turning color. It is a beautiful time of the year but we all know what is to follow in a few months. Enjoy the good weather while we have it. Hopefully we will have a nice warm fall. Our August 7th meeting was a ladies night and was held at the Degenhart Campground in Jonesport. I was unable to attend so have no report on the meeting. I do know that they were making the plans for the Annual Bob Smith Picnic on August 17th. We are hoping for another beautiful day in Down East Maine for this event. The Northeast Shrine Field Days in

Springfield MA is now a thing of the past and was held August 21-23. I am sure a good time was had by all who attended. Noble Appreciation Night will be held at the Anah Temple on September 13th. Happy Birthday wishes for September go out to Barry Hanscom, Donnie Wright, Bill Sternbergh, Phil Mondville, Leni Weaver, Napoleon Beal, Nancy Chapman, Vernon Scott, Skip Pennell, James Cox, Cecil Fernald, and Sandy Alley. September Anniversary wishes go to Past Potentate Guy and Nancy Chapman, Walter & Claire Kennedy, Mike & Dawn Gooch, Dick & Margaret Gardner, Napoleon & Bernadette Beal, Tom & Bobbie Foss, Vernon & Gail Scott, Mike & Nancy Bailey, William & Ruth Smith, and George & Sheila Alley. Until next month I wish all a great September and good health.

Membership Committee

By Noble Doug Dulac Hello everyone from the membership committee. I wanted to update you all a little bit on membership. First of all let me tell you we had a very successful Hospital Support Night event on Sat. August 2nd. This is something the membership comm. put on to raise awareness of what we really do as Shriners which is support the hospitals. We had a fantastic meal put on by the Second Section, who did it free of charge by the way, a silent auction,3 patients from the hospitals that spoke and some great entertainment by the Skyliners band. Because it was our first time doing this and being in the middle of the summer I was a little nervous about what kind of turnout we would get. I am very pleased to say that we had over 120 in attendance! The deal was that every penny of profit we made would be split between the Boston and Springfield hospitals. We actually will be sending them $1062.00 each! I have spoken with Jesse Thomas our Chief Rabban and it looks like we will do this again next year hopefully on May 16th. In addition to that the membership comm. is meeting once a month and will be starting phone calls to all those nobles

who are behind in dues next month. This seems to help a lot with our retention. I am personally reaching out to all the candidates from 2011,2012,2013 and 2014 each month through a calling post message. I think this keeps them in the loop and informed. Please help us by telling the Shrine story as often as possible. We need to start gearing up for next year’s class, so keep thinking about someone who would make a good Mason and Shriner.

Noble Fred Patterson, Reporter Wow what a bunch of snow for the month of January and the first part of February. I can’t remember a time in the near past where we have had so much snow in such a short period of time. Our February meeting was held at the Shrine Hall on February 6 with a pretty light attendance. I know that snow that we received in January is keeping so me inside as the roads are still pretty poor to travel on. The Second Section prepared and served the meal for the Wheeler’s Super Supper on February 7 and we had a great turnout of members for help. Once again, Noble Bob Marin along with Lady Annette were there to orchestrate the meal along with Noble Jerry Hayes and Lady Denise who worked most of the day on the appetizers. Great job by all who helped throughout the evening. Oh, and the behind the scenes crew included Noble Krayton Allen who washed every dish that came back into the kitchen along with Nobles Bob Mott and Doug Hardison who assisted Krayton with those duties. When I left on Saturday night, Krayton was in the dish pit and when I returned on Sunday morning, he was still there and still washing. I’m not sure if he ever left!! The Second Section hosted the 51st annual Potentates Party on February 14th at the Shrine Hall to honor our incoming Potentate, Jesse Thomas and our outgoing Potentate Dick Hallet. More on that event in the next Anahgram as it falls after this article is due. We still have an ongoing fundraiser selling gun raffle tickets for a drawing to be held in the month of September 2015. The guns are through Willey’s Sport Shop

in Ellsworth and tickets are available for $20.00 each and we are only selling 1000 tickets. Drawings will be done daily in September and the tickets drawn will be put right back into the drawing so there will be multiple chances of winning. If any nobles have any tickets that they don’t think they will be able to sell, please call me to get those back so we can get them in the hands of others who may need them to sell. We still have a few Nobles who have not contacted me to get their dues up to date. If any Second Section member has either changed their address or phone numbers please contact me at [email protected] with those changes so we can

get to you with any information of interest. Also if you don’t see your name in the Anahgram for either a birthday or anniversary, see me to update my list as I don’t have all of the members information on these dates. With the June Ceremonial just a few months away, make sure you all have your proper uniforms. Anyone needing uniforms, shirts, hats, etc. contact Noble Bill Harris at our next meeting as he has taken over the Quartermaster position vacated by Noble Harland Williamson who had to turn that job over due to time and health reasons. Thank you Noble Williamson for all you have done for our Unit over the years and hope you

March birthday wishes go out to Ladies Sylvia Currier, Robyn Dulac, Debbie Curtis, Diane Dunn and Leah Rideout and Nobles Tom Dunn, Dennis Hill, Joe Kitchen, Dick Leeman, Tom Severence and Linwood Hall. March anniversary wishes go out to Chris & Amber Robison, Tom & Penny Dunn, Albert & Linda Higgins, Darell & Ellen King, Linwood & Jane Hall.Our next scheduled meeting will be held Friday, April 3, 2015 at the Shrine Hall.

As of today, February 8 - 40 days until Spring. Don’t think the snow will be gone by then. Hope everyone is well and staying warm. The Ceremonial was great - we wish to thank Dick & Carolyn Hallett for another great year and look forward to enjoying 2015 with Jesse & Brenda. Congratulations to our new Outer Guard, Dean Hoke, and his Lady Kathy. At the Ceremonial the Kampers Club donated $500 to each hospital. It was great to see how the units of Anah had worked so hard to earn so much money for Anah. Recently, Noble Alton Kenney of Belfast died. Our sympathies go out to Lady Ellen and family. Alton was very active in Shrine, Masons and Eastern Star. By the time you read this over 100 Shriners will be returning from their Cruise with Jesse and Brenda. Reminder - June 19-21 (June Ceremonial) - Timberland Acres Campground, Trenton, Maine - phone #667-3600 - make your own reservation. Call by June 1. Be sure to tell them that you are a Shriner.

Hello nobles and ladies. We would like to start off by welcoming our newest members David DeWitt and Ean Jordan, other exciting news … we held our first annual Cribbage Tournament on February 7th, we are so happy to report the great turn out and support we received. There was good food and games for everyone. First place went to William Hardison, Second place went to Bob Berry, Third place went to David Dewitt and Fourth place went to Kathy Ginn. We would like to

take this time to thank all the winners for donating their winnings back to the unit. The top two winners received a custom cribbage board designed and made by Edwin “Sonny” Colburn, these boards where detail with First Annual Facts & Figures Cribbage Tournament on them, we could not have been prouder to award the winners with them. Thank you Sonny! We cannot thank him enough for coming up with this idea and providing such amazing cribbage boards. We also had some nice door prizes by donation as well as a great response to the 50/50 raffle. Pat’s pizza of Ellsworth donated a $25.00 gift card as well as five free 9” pizzas. We would also like to thank Mark Taplin for his donation as well as Mike, Judy, Melinda & Amanda Hellum for hosting the event and making their famous “Porky Sue’s Pizza”. It was great to see other units participate in this event it sure did help us to have some relief from “Cabin Fever”. Until next time enjoy the snow and stay safe!
