Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston:
A Leader in Burn Injury Research
By Jeanne McCue, Public Relations and Marketing Specialist
“Good research is driven primarily by
curiosity; by those who love to understand
and analyze,” said
Mehmet Toner, Ph.D., director of research at
Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston.
“It is a slow process and requires delayed
gratification.” A member of the scientific
staff at the Boston Shriners Hospital since
1990, Dr. Toner leads the department with
a broad view of the innovations in burn
treatment that have been developed by the
hospital over the years. He knows that it
is when scientists are willing to be patient
that big discoveries are made.
Shriners Hospitals Research Brings
Breakthroughs
There have been two major advances in
the treatment of large burn injuries over
the past 40 years. Artificial skin to close
wounds was first developed in the 1970s
and was used on patients with burn injuries
at the Boston Shriners Hospital as early
as 1980. Shriners Hospitals investigators
were involved with the development
of artificial skin alongside researchers
from Massachusetts General Hospital
(MGH) and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
The second major development, an
understanding of the metabolic issues
created by burn injury, led to a more
targeted delivery of calories and protein
to patients. Shriners Hospitals and MGH
investigators determined that providing
for the unique nutritional needs of patients
with burn injuries had a profound impact
on recovery. These achievements have
been recognized by the medical community
throughout the world.
More Milestones Ahead
Dr. Toner believes the next major
breakthrough in the treatment of large
burns will likely involve in vivo healing,
or healing from the inside. “The cosmetic
issue of burn injury is a very serious
concern that needs to be addressed,” said
Dr. Toner. The goal is to identify wound
cells and healthy progenitor cells/stem
cells that regenerate and aid in healing. Dr.
Toner and the research team are conducting
studies focused on microtechnology
and nanotechnology – tiny tools with
applications for the diagnosis and
monitoring of patients with burns.
One tool developed by Dr. Toner and other
Shriners Hospitals investigators identifies
rare cells (examples include progenitor
cells and tumor cells) and has the ability to
target a specific cell from among billions.
These rare cells can control the outcome
of disease or injury, and identifying
them can have an enormous impact on a
patient’s recovery. While the science is at
the beginning stages, this innovation brings
real hope of healing for skin composition,
flexibility and appearance.
“The unique aspect of Shriners Hospitals
for Children is that there are wonderful
opportunities for researchers, clinicians and
patients,” said Dr. Toner. “By employing
a rare breed – researchers who have the
patience, endurance and passion to solve
complex problems over time – we can have
the next big news.”

June Ceremonial
Golf Tournament
Reported By: Noble Geo Watson
On June 20th, sixty plus Nobles & Ladies
showed up to play in the June Ceremonial
Golf Scramble at the Presque Isle Country
Club, the weather was a little cool and
windy, but the local pro had set the course
up a little on the easy side and everyone
who played had an excellent time and
enjoyed the tournament.
With only one ladies team, Deb Dunham
Team were the winners with a Gross score
of 56, Yes a 56, however it must be noted
that as they turned the corner to play # 1,
somehow the ladies found that the bar area
was open and stopped to get a coffee, ya
right. Well it appears that they never left
the Club House to finish the last few holes,
I understand it had something to do with
“Down East Boilermakers” ?
On the Nobles Divisions, Jimmy Milliken
Team indicated that they had been a
bridesmaid too many times and then
played excellent golf and carded a twelve
under for a 60. Second place went to Ill
Sir Dick Hallet Team who carded a ten
under for a 62. It is my understanding
that Ill Sir Dick Hallet had the hot putter
that day and sank the first two birdies to
keep his team in the hunt, good for you
Dick.
Ill Sir Hallet, Boomer and myself wishes
to thank all Nobles and Ladies for their
support to this years Annual Ceremonial
Golf Tournament.

GREETINGS NOBLES AND
LADIES OF ANAH
Hi Folks,
Well, as we predicted and hoped for
at our June cerimonial it was once again
a success. Thursday evening June 19th
started our week-end with registration at
our Shrine Club and cribbage tournament
with social hour from 5:30-7pm.
Friday June 20th Noble George Watson
had organized 18 holes of golf. The weather
was quite cool, a few showers and very
breezy, but all in all a great time was had
by all. As always George had everything
so very well planned with lunch after
golf. Friday evening hors d’ oeuvres were
served by members of the Aroostook Club
and their ladies followed by a great meal
of roast pork and turkey cooked by Noble
Fred Haines. Fred is a master builder of
machinery as well as being a master chef.
Remainder of evening enjoyed by dancing
to the Center Line Band.
Saturday started off at 7am with
registration of new candidates, 25 in all.
This for sure was not a great number but it
is what it is. I guess we can be thankful for
those we did have. At 8:30am the Temple
opened with introductions followed by
the 1st Section performed by Anah’s
Academicians and as always they did a
wonderful job. Then after a short break
Anah’s 2nd Sectiondid their part for our
new candidates. Noon lunch was provided
by Anah’s Canteen Unit who served a
large number in a short period of time.
At 1:15pm our parade lined up, stepped
off at 2pm with slightly cloudy skies, but
no rain (Boomer for sure came through for
us). Following a great parade by Anah’s
Units, with units from Luxor Shriners
in New Brunswick as well as Presque
Isle’s own civic parade, cold drinks were
enjoyed by many at the forum.
Saturday Evenings hors d’ oeuvres
were served by Anah’s Aide Unit and their
ladies prior to a great meal of steak and
chicken with all the fixings followed by
strawberry shortcake for dessert.
While waiting for our meal to be
served, we had a Fezing ceremony for
new candidates and presented them with
their pins. Then we were pleased to have
a very lovely young lady who had been a
patient at Shriners Hospital tell us of her
experience and surgery. Dayna Collins
now fully recovered is competing in
Orlando Florida for Miss Teen USA. What
a special young lady. Remainder of the
evening was enjoyed dancing to Center
Line Band for a great evening of fun and
fellowship.
Saturday from 11am to 1pm our ladies
enjoyed a luncheon at the Aroostook
Shrine Club. Decorations were provided
and done by Mrs Betsy Fitzherbert with
the help of her many volunteers. Their
entertainment was provided by Mrs Joy
Whited, a very special performer. I am
told the ladies really enjoyed themselves
and I understand many pictures were
taken, but I haven’t seen any of them yet.
Monday was clean up and pack-away
day and being thankful for what we
considered a successful week-end.
Before I close I must thank all who
worked so hard making this ceremonial
week-end a great time for all. Anah’s
Aides, Greeters, Directors Staff, the
Membership Committee and all Anah’s
units for providing Presque Isle a great
parade and for sure Outer Guard Robert
“Boomer” Palmer for the wonderful job
he did as Director General. I can’t sing
enough praise for all Anah’s Shriners and
their ladies, you are special.
Until next time, stay healthy, happy and
think Shrinedom.
Hope for the Children in 2014.
Yours in the faith
Dick Hallett
Potentate of Anah Shriners

Greetings Nobles and Ladies. What a
great time at the 2014 Ceremonial in Presque Isle. Although we had only a handful of new candidates we had a great time
in the Second Section. Congratulations to
all of the new candidates and I hope you
all get involved with a unit and keep active. Congratulations to Illustrious Potentate, Richard Hallett on a great day and
although it was fairly windy in town over
the weekend the weather was all good.
Congratulations also needs to go out to
Robert “Boomer” Palmer who, I believe,
was pretty much in charge of the weekend
festivities and everything went great from
where I stood. I have to say that the most
elegant speaker of the weekend was the
young lady, Dayna Collins, if my memory
serves me correct. Her story of how she
was treated by the Shriner’s Hospital and
how she has overcome and what she has
done since was truly inspirational. I don’t
think there were many dry eyes in the
building. I wish her well on all of her future endeavors and future Miss High
School America Pageants.
The Second Section summer party will
be a little different this year and it will be
held on August 9, 2014 at the Paul Bunyan
Campground in Bangor. Anyone wishing
to camp or tent, we will be there from the
8th to the 10th. Reservations will need to
be made if you would like to camp and
further information will be made available
by email on the party.
The Folk Festival weekend is August 22,
23and 24 where we will be serving as
parking attendants once again this year.
Someone from the unit will be in contact
with all of you to setup times for coverage
for this event.
Waterfront Concert parking is still
somewhat ongoing and anyone interested
in helping with that should contact Second
Assistant Director Tom Breitweg at 4168267. We are limited for space this year

Noble Ron Bilancia, Reporter
Hope everyone is having a great summer. Me and mine have been enjoying
lake camp, Bar Harbor, Old Orchard, and
other great adventures in and around
home.
Kevin and Tammie Call had a great
spring trip to California with their daughter’s dance team. They stayed in LA for a
week where we attended an International
Dance Festival with 32 other studios from
other countries and states. The dancers
participated in dance classes with choreographers and actors and actresses from
music videos, movies, and television.
They performed at Disney, visited Madam
Tassaud’s Wax Museum, saw the Muppets
on stage and watched their new movie,
went to the beach for a few hours, went to
Medieval Times, and had a day to tour LA
seeing the Hollywood sign, stars homes,
Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Blvd, Venice
Beach, found LA Ink, and so much more.
They were all worn out when they returned home, but said they had the best
time ever.

Who is it ???
Last month’s subject was Noble Bob
Mott. Dale Hatch guessed this first. If you
know this month’s person, or think you
do, call Recorder P. P. Larry Hersom at
942.2254 or e-mail the Editor at
[email protected]. The first
one to identify the person wins a free
Booster listing for one year. The supply of
pictures is low so if you have someone
you would like to feature send it to the
Editor by e-mail or drop it at the Recorder’s
office. This feature can only continue with
your help!!

The June Ceremonial up in Presque Isle
was excellent. A terrific time was had by
all. The crowds were huge. Sally and
Lauren enjoyed the parade and shopping
and eating around town. Several members
and I were very pleased to offer a session
of the “Sam Adams Degree” in honor of
our most beloved Donnie Copeland during the long wait before the parade. :-)
(And thanks to Larry Greenlaw for a ride
to the store for the icy cold “degree implements.”) I must say we had one of the
best ritual performances I’ve seen in my
15 years with the unit. They don’t get better than that. Big Kudos to all sections
and to my fellow ritualists for a job well
done.
We look forward to the annual picnic
next month. I will assume as of this writing that we’ll be having lobsters again.
Please send me emails or leave phone
messages to reserve lobsters if you want
them. More on this event will be coming
in several emails in the near future. Please
stay tuned.
Have a great rest of your summer everyone, and please don’t hesitate to contact
me at [email protected] or 9892617 with any questions, concerns, news,
gossip, jokes, foolishness, or plain old
outright lies that you like to generously
share with our Nobles, Ladies, and Anah
Shrinedom in general. :-)

My apologies for missing last months
anahgram. Time slipped away from me,
and I failed to submit on time. Summer is
here and we are all busy.
The ANAH NASCARs have been busier
a of late. Parades to date are the special
olympics in Orono, Vinalhaven, and Bar
Harbor. We have held one of our NASCAR camping weekends, at Timberland
Acres in Trenton with a successful turnout. An upcoming parade will be in Bradford at 10 am, 9 am lineup across from the
general store. Also upcoming, on August
2, the NASCAR christmas party will be
held at Waltons campground in Eddington. Camping is available.
The annual NASCAR weekend at Katahdin Shadows campground in Medway will
be August 22. Events run friday evening
through saturday night. Campsites are
available. Contact captain Lee Klug for
more information. hope to see you there.
The unit has discussed, and approved,
that starting in September, on the second
Tuesday, we will start alternating where
we meet at Pat’s Pizza. September will be
held at the Holden Pats Pizza, located at
the former Felt Brooks Golf center. October we will meet in Ellsworth at Pats, alternating every other month between the
two. This is to help some of our members
with the drive time and distance, as well as
attracting new nobles as well as current
members to attend the monthly meetings.

“FROM THE
RECORDER’S
DESK”
Larry L. Hersom
Recorder, P.P.
I hope you all are enjoying our new
electronic sign entering our parking lot.
Jill is diligent about posting current events
taking place at the temple, plus displaying
office hours. Also, please take notice of
the wonderful improvement to the sign
posts and landscaping at the base of the
sign. The Provost Guard and their ladies
volunteered and paid to refurbish the paint
on the sign posts, lay landscaping bricks,
and plant flowers to create a beautiful
garden to enhance the entrance to our
driveway. This is the kind of dedication
from our Nobles and Ladies that keeps
Anah strong. Thank you so much.
We also are currently removing shrubbery
along our sidewalk in front of the building,
which has overtaken the walkway. The
glass in our entrance door to the lobby was
accidently broken and needed immediate
replacement, so you see maintenance is
constantly going on at our temple.
I hope many of you have your plans
all set by now to attend the Northeast
Shrine
Association
weekend
in
Springfield, Massachusetts. Four days
of fun and festivities have been planned
. . . . luncheons, banquets, competitions,
parade, side tours, and of course, excellent
shopping choices for all the ladies. Anah’s
units have been practicing all summer for
these competitions, so let’s all get out and
support them.
Anah’s units have also been busy this
summer participating in various parades
throughout the state representing Anah
at its finest. Picnics, parades, family,
barbeques and fellowship . . . . that is what
summer is all about. Fall will be upon us
sooner than we want, so I am reminding
you that tickets are now available in the
Recorder’s office for “Noble Appreciation
Night” on September 13.
We look forward to seeing you in
Springfield.
Invite a fellow
Master Mason to
share an Anah
activity,
he may want to
become a Shriner!

STATED MEETING NOTICE
There was no meeting in the month of
July. If you were at Pat’s Pizza, you were
there alone. There will no meeting in
August, because we are still in recess. The
next meeting should be, if I’m correct,
September 2nd.
I heard there was a good turnout at the
annual lobster feed held at Alvin Heath’s.
He and Donny were pleased at the crowd
and we’d like to thank his helpers also.
Now for the local news. Noble Steve and
Wanda Fernald’s daughter, Alice, is about
1300 miles into her wilderness trip on the
Appalachian Trail. She is due to arrive
at Mt. Katahdin sometime in September.
While she’s away, Steve is busy doing
some body work on her car. Also heard
that Tommy Fernald had about a hundred
lobster traps show up in his yard. Wonder
what he’s going to do with them? Maybe
he should think about the work that’s
involved. He’d be better off feeding that
goat. Heard that Jimmy Nolan has a new
houseboat on Molasses Pond. Since Past
Potentate Geddes Simpson got back from
his honeymoon in California, he has been
wining and dining Carole (with an e) on
a regular basis. Heard John Fernald has
a new coyote trying to keep the geese off
his lawn. Now John, don’t you think that
those geese know how to fly south, and
how to fly north, they would recognize a
coyote with no legs? He stands there like
a dummy. Now Noble Jay Fernald, when
you get a minute, and you’re in Trenton,
do you suppose you can teach your fatherin-law how to set a beach anchor? That’s
the only day I was in the right place at the
right time. If I hadn’t shown up, you would
still be rowing. You know, Jay, I learned
how to set one when I was only six years
old. P.S. Any of you nobles that were at
Molasses Pond over the 4th, I hope you
enjoyed the spectacular fireworks.
Those celebrating birthdays are Louise
Sealy, Joseph Jordan, Pat Gross, Clare
Grindal, John Mott, Glenna Ellis, Cindy
Walls, Prescott Briggs, Gloria Gomm, and
Howard Heath.
Honeymooners are Bruce and Lois
Clark, Perley and Karen Merrick, Nelson
and Clare Grindal, Wilbert and Joan Terry,
and David and Sandra Neal.
Oops! Gotta go! Gotta get the milk
bones, grab Cookie and go fishing!
Stated Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19, 2014 At 7 pm
for the purpose of conducting the business of Anah Shriners and
disseminating information to the membershipon matters relating to
current Shrine events and activities. There will also be a vote to

Those boats sailing to June Ceremonial
in Presque Isle to support our Illustrious
Potentate, Dick Hallett, were Lt. Waylon
Merchant, Scott Johnson, Lyman Blyther,
Bill Sinford, Troy Huffman, and last but
not least, Runtz Farnsworth. Those that
were on duty during Hurricane Arthur,
and what a wet and wild weekend it was,
were Pembroke Racers Carroll Chandler,
Waylon Merchant, and Troy Huffman.
The same three attended the Eastport
festivities. Yours Truly was on deck for
the Machias parade, but got a phone call
in the early afternoon that it was canceled
due to gale force winds. The highlight of
the 6th, the Shrine mini-boats organized at
Runtz’s shipyard in Jonesport. Yours Truly
and sternman, Forrest DeMeyer showed
up with minutes to spare. As we were
unloading, I nicked my prop and knew I
was going to lose some RPM’s, but would
have to suck it up. As we were about to
line up, the crowd was huge and excited.
They lined up both sides of the street;
oops I meant harbor, to see us ready to
battle it out. They told me Capt. Chandler
was out of action for the day, and I knew
he owns the former Red Baron which
was my old boat and it was out of action.
The only other contenders I had to worry
about were Lt. Waylon Merchant, Troy
Huffman, Bill Sinford, Runtz Farnsworth,
and Lyman Blyther and myself in the boat
formerly owned by Ray Ellis. I knew
I was in great shape to take home top
prize. Well, the gun sounded; I had the
last position in the lineup. Halfway down
the stretch, Noble Lyman Blyther blew a
drive shaft. The law of the sea says you
have to stop and go to their aid. Just when
I was picking up speed, I stopped and got
the tow rope out, tied it to his bow, looked
behind me and there was Bill Sinford
bringing up the rear, his engine smoking
badly. I asked him to take over; he was
happy to. Now it was catch-up time. I
caught up with Noble Runtz. He knew I
was coming fast and furious; he kept zigzagging, and I know he didn’t want me to
finish. I came in fourth for the day with
Waylon finishing first, Troy Huffman
second, Runtz Farnsworth third, then back
to Runtz’s shipyard to load up for the trip
home to Eastbrook harbor. Next time out
will be the Harrington Days in October.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to make it again.
11
The annual picnic was held at Runtz’s
shipyard on the 5th. Due to rough weather,
a lot of us couldn’t make it.
Sorry I missed Ray and Glenna Ellis on
the 6th. It was nice to see Phil Montville
and his lady. Forrest and I were treated
to some excellent food and hospitality
by Lady Ora and Noble Runtz. The only
thing Runtz wanted to know-was the rain
following me or was I bringing in the fog.
For the second time, I saw the sun shine
in Jonesport. But as the sun was setting I
said we had to leave because moonshine
was setting in. As I left Runtz’s shipyard,
somehow we ended up in his campground.
There was a bunch of fellers jumping
around like clowns. As I got back to the
entrance, Runtz said I took a wrong left
(when I was growing up, that was either
port or starboard). We finally made it out
and headed home. Thanks again Ora and
Runtz for a wonderful time. Whoops!
Gotta go; Forrest is reading my charts
upside down.
Those celebrating birthdays are Troy
Huffman, Prescott Briggs, Glenna Ellis,
Ora Farnsworth, Keith Robbins, and Bill
Sinford.
Honeymooners are Runtz and Ora
Farnsworth, Perley and Karen Merrick,
and Wilbert and Joan Terry.
Tri County Shrine Club held their
monthly meeting on the 18th of June at
the Piscataquis Valley Fairgrounds. The
30 Nobles were treated to a very fine meal
of pulled pork and all the fixings. After
the Libation Hour, the meeting was called
to order by President Dan Costain. The
Invocation was given by Noble Don Young,
also known as BOBO the clown. BOBO
always does a fine job in offering grace
before our meals. The Flag Salute was led
by President Costain. Nobles that were
introduced were as follows:Head Table,
Vice President Arthur Watson and Secretary
Dave Mosley, Unit Heads, Arthur Herbest
of the Flag Unit, Scott Folsom of the 4X4’s,
Dick Dunham of the Convertibles and J.R.
MItchell of the Public Relations.
Ambassadors present was Roger Chesley,
Greeters was Edwin Dewitt, Aide Emeritous
Ron Greene and Directors Keith Dewitt
and Dan Costain. New members since
the June Ceremonial of 2013, Dick Ross,
John Bigger, Tim Briggs and Paul Noble.
Representing the Divan was Captain of the
Guard Doug Dulac. Noble Keith Dewitt
won the 50/50. The kitchen crew was given
a round of applause for the excellent meal
they put on. Seemed different this year,
usually Noble Don Merrill heads up the
kitchen crew. But this year, he passed the
torch to some other members of the Fair

Association. We were also saddened to hear
that Noble Don was involved in a vehicle
accident on the previous Monday. Don was
shook up, but seems to be on the mend.
Noble Dr. Tom Pierce will be leaving the
state of Maine to move to North Dakota
to be closer to his son. We wish the best
of luck to you Tom and your wife on your
next adventure in your life. We will miss
you. Keep the trombone oiled and ready
to go. Noble Dick Ross spoke about the
planning stages of starting a new Unit in
Anah Shrine. If formed, it would be the
Jeep Wrangler Unit. Good luck in your
efforts Dick. Noble J.R. Mitchell spoke
briefly about the Hospitals and the good
work the Shriners do for them. It’s what
we are all about. Noble Doug Dulac spoke
about an event on the 2nd of August. It
will be a fund raiser for the Hospitals at
the Shrine Center. In regards to this fun
raiser, the Directors voted to cancel the
Summer Bash that same day. They thought
Tri County should support this fine fund
raiser for Anah and the Hospitals. No
further business, the meeting was closed
by President Costain. Next meeting will be
the 17th of September at the Sunrise Bakery
and Cafe in St. Albans. ALWAYS WORK

WILL CARRY ON AFTER WE ARE

Greetings Nobles and Ladies. As you
noticed, I missed last months Anahgram
and I may have missed yet another. If this
shows up in August, I made it. We were
very pleased that the weather held for
the June Ceremonial. The route seemed
very long, but the camel’s milk at the
end was welcome. Since I last reported,
your Highlanders have participated in: the
Special Olympics, College of the Atlantic
Graduation, June Ceremonial, Bar Harbor
Parade, Fort Knox Scottish Military Tattoo,
Lincoln Homecoming, and the Rockport
Masonic Lodge Concert. That finishes up
our commitments through July.
We have several events scheduled for
August including the Northeast Shrine
and the opening ceremony for the Senior
World Little League. We are also making
our first appearance in several years at
the Maine Highland Games in Topsham
(Brunswick). The organizers and some key
members of our band have been trying to
get us to come back for several years. We
enjoy this event, but we have to consider
our purpose is to raise money for Shriners
Childrens Hospitals.
As for the reason that I missed last
month’s deadline, well … I got married the
week of the deadline. Even though it was a
small wedding, it had the same number of
moving pieces as a larger one. I worked the
day of the wedding, ran around for a couple
hours before the service running errands. I
think if I had to do it over again, I might
take the whole day off. The weather cleared
and we had a great service at the church
and a wonderful reception at the lake. I
learned two new tunes in the weeks before
the service. One was “Red is the Rose”
(sounds the same as Loch Lomond) and
the other was “The Bells of Dunblane.”
In closing, let’s remember our small
communities and the small businesses that
need our support. Northern Maine has lost
hundreds of small businesses in the last
couple decades. Thousands of families
have had to relocate. Abandoned houses
are a frequent site. There are few sights as
sad as an abandoned house. A dwelling that
once housed a family full of life, but due
to lack of economic prosperity, the house
now sits like a corpse on the side of our
pothole riddled roads. We can do better,
there are imaginary lines between our
states and communities, but are very visible
differences in economic condition. As
Shriners and Masons, we need to consider
the health of our overall communities in
our daily duties.
Until Next month, if anyone would like
drumming or piping lessons, please contact
me at [email protected]. Be
Blessed.

SCHOODIC SHRINE
CLUB
Noble David G. Beckett, Reporter
Greetings from Schoodic Shrine Club:
We held our June meeting in Lubec,
America on June 18th. This was our annual
joint meeting with the Washington County
Shrine Club. A great steak and seafood
chowder feed was prepared by the Brethren
of Washington Lodge No. 37 of Lubec.
There were nearly 50 Nobles and ladies
in attendance. Noble Jonathan McClure,
president of the Washington County Shrine
Club, welcomed all and introduced several
dignitaries, including Past potentate Ed
Pellon and Past Grand Master, Harland S.
Hitchings. Noble Ike Winchester welcomed
all on behalf of the Schoodic Shrine Club.
As always it was a great feed and a great
meeting.
Looking ahead, our July meeting will
be held at Eastern Lodge No. 7, Eastport
and our August meeting will be held on
Wednesday, August 20th, at Lewy’s Island
Lodge No. 138, Princeton, for a mystery
meal at 5:30 pm. This will be a Ladies
Night.
Our September meeting will be on Sunday,
September 14th, at the Meddybemps
Community Center at 1:00 pm. This too
will be a Ladies Night. This is the famous
“Fish Fry”. This event has been movede to
Meddybemps as this will be the Potentate’s
visit and we are hoping to have a large turnout. Guests are also invited. Who knows
when a guest may want to become a Mason
or a Shriner.
Enjoy this beautiful summer.
‘Til next time!
Nobles,
Here we are in another one of those
months where the 2nd Thursday of the
month (our meeting) sneaks up on us. The
Directors of the Waldo County Shrine Club
meet the first Monday of the month, usually
a week and a half before our meeting. Then
there are these months when our meetings
are the same week. Plus add in a holiday
and a hurricane!! Sorry to bore you with
this stuff, just stating the facts!
Anyway, the reason for this email:
The July meeting of the Waldo County
Shrine Club is this Thursday the 10th. It
is a regular meeting, 6pm social and 7pm
meal and meeting. The dinner is to be a
Barbeque Chicken, cooked on the grills by
Noble Duncan Brown. Potato salad, rolls,
cole slaw and dessert round out the menu
(and appetizers). The fare is $10.
The August Dryden Dutch Memorial Golf
Tourney is to be held on August 14th. This
is also the day of our regular meeting and
Annual Steak Dinner. The cost for Lunch,
Golf, and Steak Dinner is $75pp ($300 per
foursome). The cost for lunch and golf
and no steak dinner is $65pp. Lunch and
Registration is at 11:30 at the Waldo County
Shrine Club. Shotgun start at the Northport
Country Club is 1:00. To reserve a team (or
if you have no team but want to play) please
call Dave Bowen at 338-4265. Please pass
the word!! This is always a great event and
well attended. Also, if you wish to sponsor
a hole the cost is $100. A sign with your
business name ( or your name!!) will be
made and placed on the course.
Duncan asks that all who have gun
raffle tickets to please bring the sold and
unsold tickets to the meeting Thursday
please!! This has the potential to be a great
fundraiser for the club. You can reach
Duncan at 322-3484 with ticket updates
as well.

If you are receiving this email, you are
either a member of the Waldo County
Shrine Club or a member of Anah or Kora
Shrine. We have been sending regular mail
notices out to those who do not have email
for years. Now we are moving on to another
method of getting the notices out. We are
using a Calling Post. A recorded telephone
call will come to you and the President of
the Club, Charlie Pray will be giving you
the news. Since this is far from perfect
system (meaning telephone numbers and
email addresses change) this is only as
good as the information we are given. If
you change email or phone, and wish to
continue to receive these notices, please
send an email to me or call me at 5482906 with your new contact information.
Currently the Calling Post will come up on
your Caller ID as an unfamiliar number. We
are working on changing that to say Waldo
County Shrine Club. Hopefully we can do
that. The bottom line here is that regular
mail notices are going to disappear and the
notices will be sent by email or phone. We
welcome your comments and help with this
as we move forward.
Please pass this info on to your fellow
Shriners!
Yours in Shrinedom,

As I begin this months article, I want to
wish Sandi Look the very best on her
medical procedure being done in Boston
during the next few weeks. We will all be
praying for you and Robert, Sandi.
The June meeting was a joint meeting
with the Schoodic Shrine Club and the
Washington County Shrine Club, hosted
by the Schoodic Shrine Club and held in
Lubec. I was unable to attend so have
nothing to report on the meeting but am
sure everyone enjoyed their meal.
The June Ceremonial was a fun time by
all who attended. I can say that it felt like
winter was back when we arrived in “the
county”, with the wind blowing a gale and
below normal temperatures. Those playing
in the golf tournament can attest to this as
well. By parade time the temperature rose
some, it was sunny, and it was great for
those marching.
The July 8th meeting was held at Barren
View Golf Club. Members enjoyed 9
holes of golf prior to the meeting. Since
the meeting was after the date to submit
articles, I have nothing to include in the
article.
The August 7th meeting will be held at
the Degenhart’s Campground in Jonesport
and is a ladies night. What a beautiful place
to hold a meeting, on the ocean at Kelley’s
Point in Jonesport. This is also the site
for the Annual Bob Smith Picnic, which is
scheduled for Sunday, August 17th. Mark
your calendar and plan to attend.
This is a busy time of year in Downeast
Maine, with blueberry harvest season soon
starting, which keeps growers and their
crews very busy, including several from
this club.
Since this was missed in the July issue,
and I do apologize, I want to express Happy
Birthday wishes for July to Past Potentate
Clyde Reynolds, Runtz Farnsworth, Joyce
Pinkham, Velma Orcutt, Esther Pellon,
Forrest DeMeyer, Janice White, Bernadette
Beal, Suzanne Fox and Robert Wood.
Anniversary wishes to Ricky & Bethany
Foss, Dick & Judy Farnsworth, Richard &
Jolene Farnsworth, Brad & Shannon Prout,
Forrest & Anita DeMeyer, Julian & Janice
White, and Dan & Janice Thompson.
Happy Birthday wishes for August go
out to Past Potentates Rodney Pinkham
and Goody Gilman; Richard Kilton, Ora
Farnsworth, Verlan Lenfesty, Beverly
Bagley, Jake Orcutt, William Sinford Sr.,
Troy Huffman, Charles Buster Huntley,
Cindy Pinkham, Sonny Beal, and Tom
Foss. Anniversary wishes for August to
Donnie & Carolyn Wright, George & Mary
Beth Gaddis, Robert & Pauline Wood, Mike
& Debi Murphy, Runtz & Ora Farnsworth,
and Donnie & Brenda Martin.
Until next month, enjoy the warm weather
and your families and friends.

Hello everyone. The weather has turned
HOT, I hope everyone is finding a way to
stay cool. June 6, the night we were in
the Special Olympics parade was chilly
and threatened rain but held off until we
were done. We all enjoy this parade and
the Olympic participants faces show that
they love the parade. The week-end of
June 20, was the Ceremonial in Presque
Isle, it was windy, cold and rainy, but it
didn’t rain on our parade. It was a long
one but we all made it to the end. Sunday
June 29, there were fifteen members who
were at the Shrine Center to work on the
flower bed under the new sign. We did a

lot of shoveling dirt, setting landscaping
stones, planting flowers, and we scraped
and painted the frame around the sign. The
day was HOT, needless to say so were we.
The ones of us that didn’t work outside, set
up and cooked food for our lunch. It was
nice spending the afternoon with the group
and working together, a big thank you to
all of you for your work. Thank you Ryan

The generosity of Raymond and Kat
Young of Young’s Lobster Pound in Belfast,
along with the generosity and support of
many others was in evidence on the evening
of May 31 when a Crab Fest fundraiser
was held to help cover the Clown Unit’s
expenses in putting on a dinner for the
Springfield Shriner’s Hospital medical
staff. This dinner is ongoing tradition on the
eve of the hospital’s evaluation of current
and potential patients of the hospital. The
screening is always conducted at East
Maine Medical Center.
The Youngs generously donated all profits
to the Unit in the spirit of friendship and
support that has characterized our ongoing
relationship. The Belfast Shrine Club
manned the bar and likewise donated
all profits to the Unit to help defer the

expenses. Tim Dutch of Dutch Chevrolet
won the fifty-fifty and donated his winnings
to the cause. Ryan Otis of Rollie’s Bar &
Grill in Belfast donated a keg of beer. The
funds donated to the cause totaled nine
hundred dollars when Ryan Otis threw
in an additional fifty dollars to round it up
to one thousand dollars! This Crab Fest is
likely to become a new tradition so watch
for it next year.
The Crab Boil proceeds helped the Clown
Unit continue our tradition of hosting
a dinner for the staff members of the
Springfield Shrine Hospital on Thursday
June 5. As usual, this dinner served as
a prelude to the hospital screening at
EMMC. Kerry “Spiffy” Spofford, Martin
“Fou” Perfit, Steve “Petals” Watson, Scott
“Scooter” Boucher, Scott “Dim Wit”
Kennard, and Troy “Pop Fizz” Devoe kept
things moving. A special nod of the clown
hat to Jan Young and Pam Spofford for
their invaluable support as registrars. The
additional services provided through the
Sunshine Club were brought to the attention
of many families by Jan Young.
The units traditional participation in the
Special Olympics Kickoff Parade at U.
Maine in Orono was well supported by Tom
“Piggy” Vanchieri, Steve “Petals” Watson,
Pat “Pooch” Kelly, Dennis “Dumpster”
Dyer, Kenny “Baby Cakes” Gilbert, Troy
“Pop Fizz” Devoe, and Dan “Shamrock”
Murphy.
Our ongoing first Saturday appearance at
Home Depot’s Children’s Workshop saw
Mike “Gumpy” Robshaw, Martin “Fou”
Perfit, Kerry “Spiffy” Spofford, and Cutis
“Sluggah” Haynes keeping children and
adults entertained and engaged.
Later that morning Lorne “Gizmo”
Noiles, Arthur “Coota” Watson, and Dennis
“Fuz” Dyer provided mirth, merriment and
mayhem to the Black Fly Festival parade
in Milo.
The Sangerville Bicentennial Parade
stepped off on June 14 enhanced by
the participation of Arthur “Coota”
Watson, Dale “Salapshot” Hatch, Kenny
“Babycakes” Gilbert, and Lorne “Gizmo”
Noiles.
Dennis “Dumpster” Dyer was on hand as
well but not in his Clown capacity.
It was up to Presque Isle the following
weekend for the June Ceremonial with a
large contingent of Anah Shrine Clowns
turning out. Boss Clown Piggy (Tom
Vanchieri) led the way supported by Ken
(Baby Cakes) Gilbert, Arthur (Coota)

Is it warm enough? Hope everyone is
having a barque summer.
The Special Olympics parade was heart
warming as nine of us marched through
the smiles and applause. Than we went
up north to weather the cold for the June
Ceremonial where six of us marched. ( I am
not sure but I think it was ready to snow.)
We came back home to help celebrate the
Milo Black fly Parade where only three
were able to attend.
Our group is growing small as our
members are experiencing an aging
process. A long with this process we are
experiencing minor aliments that does not
permit the ability for some to march. We
hold the flags high in recognition of the
power of all of the Nobles in the healing
process so many children need. We are
looking for some strong legs to support us
for upcoming parades.
If you would like some flag wagging fun
please contact us for your uniform.
We are looking forward to upcoming
parades and the great kayak adventure in
August.
We have been busy selling hats. Coming
soon due to demand with be more camo.
Our softball tournament was a world series
success! We had seven teams, one was
from Old Town. Thanks everyone that
sponsored and helped organize it.
Happy Birthday to Nobles Herbert Carey

Anah Can Tabs For Kids
Did you know that the aluminum tabs used to open your favorite
drinks also have the power to help kids defy the odds? Shriners
Hospitals for Children® provide medical care to children with
spinal cord injuries, cleft lip and palate, or are in need of burn or
orthopedic care, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. You can
help make a kid move again, walk again, smile again just by
collecting your can tabs and dropping them off here. A Shriner will
pick them up and the proceeds will be forwarded to Shriners
Hospitals for Children®.
Frequently asked Questions on Can Tabs
1. Why not collect the whole can? Collecting complete cans
would require a great deal more storage space. You can go
ahead and return the can in the normal way and donate the
money to our Hospitals
2. How many tabs in a pound? 1267
3. How many tabs will a gallon milk jug hold? About 5 pounds

Summer is finally here, what a beautiful
stretch of weather we are having as I write
this.
Our article did not get in the June
Anahgram. I did submit it on time, but do
not know what happened. My apologies.
The June Ceremonial is now behind us.
We saw a lot of Kampers in Presque Isle
over that weekend. Cindy & I did get to
see : Allen & Bonnie Chase, Richard &
Deborah Dunham, Harlan Emery, Runtz
& Ora Farnsworth, Ron & Carole Green,
Gordon & Connie Lawrence, Durward &
Betty Shedd, Bill & Holly Sinford, Don &
Felicia Wiswell Ken & Bonnie Whitney
and Tom & Duffy Woods. Some were
camping and some just came for the day.
My apologies if I left any out.
Unfortunately Bonnie Whitney suffered
a heart attack and had to be admitted to the
hospital in Presque Isle. She was scheduled
to be transported to EMMC in Bangor that
following Monday. Please keep her and
Ken in your prayers.
On a brighter note, we are looking forward
to the Blueberry Festival in Machias August
14-17. This centers around the Blueberry
Festival activities although those who want
usually get together for Pot Luck on Friday
and Saturday evenings.
After that is our Fall (and business)
meeting at Balsam Woods Campground in
Abbot September 5-7. Reservations may
be made by calling Matt or Jamie at 207876-2731. Mention you are with the Anah
Kampers.
Our Christmas Party will be Sunday,
December 7th at Shrine Headquarters. I
will give more details when I receive them.
August Birthdays are: Maria Bagley, Allen
Chase, Bonnie Chase, Ora Farnsworth,
Dale Nelson, Bob Ring, Bill Sinford and
Darlene Wilson.
August Anniversaries are: John &
Sylvia Currier; Runtz & Ora Farnsworth;
Gordon & Connie Lawrence; Perley &
Karen Merrick; and Wilbert & Jo Terry are
celebrating their 60th – Congratulations.
As always, contact me with any errors,
omissions or with any news (lblyt@yahoo.
com/321-693-5717).
By the time you get this months Anahgram,
August will be with us. As I write is during
the first week of July, Arthur has just left
us. Hopefully no one received any damage
from the high winds and that anyone who
lost power, got it back quickly. We did
need the rain though, so I guess it was just
a trade off.
Six convertible unit members ventured to
a Fourth of July parade in Jonesport which
had been postponed until the 7th because of
Arthur. We had a nice convoy to Jonesport.
The Blackswoods road will test your
suspension to the max though.
Arriving in Jonesport and after several
turn arounds, we finally got lined up for
the parade. We finally averted a crisis and
figured out how to open Noble Toms trunk
and joined in a great parade. Our wives
wereable to ride with us and that was a first
for my bride. Seemed like the whole towns
of a Jonesport, Addison and Beales turned
out for the event and it was great fun.
No one reported any gossip from the
gathering in Presque Isle other than that it
was a well supported and fun weekend for
all in attendance. Lady Lorraine and I had
out of state visitors and were sorry to have
missed the event. Our last trip to Presque
Isle was fun as well.
A few people are celebrating birthdays this
month. Both Noble Terry and Lady Roberta
are blowing out candles this month. One
cake? Noble Dale Nelson will be holding
his breath so that he can blow out all the
candles and still have the energy to eat
the cake.
Three couples are celebrating their
wedding anniversaries as well this month.
Noble Tom and Lady Carroll Fernald,
Noble Walter and Lady Leona Gurschick
and myself and Lady Lorraine. Guess I’ve
got no excuse to forget that reminder.
Not much else to report from here. Summer
is rapidly disappearing, much like the wine
in my glass, so enjoy every day of it while
it is here. Remember the NSA Shrine Field
Days in Springfield, Ma, August 21 thru
August 24.
Be healthy, keep your heads up and your
tops down. It’s all for the kids!

Here we are August, last month of
summer, could be a frost by the end of the
month. Parades are starting to wind down.
Last month we lost Machias and Winslow
on the 4th, and Jonesport on the 5th because
of old Arther coming up the coast. We did
manage to get Eastport in and the weather
was beautiful, but by the time we had
supper it was starting to rain. Parades this
month will be Dover-Foxcroft on the 2nd
and Hermon on the 9th. Also September 1st
we will be at Harmony.
Birthday wish’s this month go to Neil
Hanson, Mary Shedd, Mike Havey, and
Dan Leighton. Happy birthday to all, and
Mary we are sorry to put you with such
an ugly bunch. Anniversary’s are Jeff and
Sandra Perkins, Dale and Gloria Blake, and
Jim and Jane Russell. I think those girls
could have done a lot better. Dale does tell
a story about some girl coming to Lincoln
looking for a Blakee-boy!
As always we would like to have some
new members. If interested just call myself
at 794-6675.
Just because your Blue Lodge is dark
this summer, remember that some Lodges
go all summer long, a great chance to renew
old friendships!
Until next time,

Anah Band has been very busy with
our parades and we are looking forward
to continuing that tradition for the rest of
the summer. We all had a wonderful time
playing at the 4th of July parade with all
of our friends of the Anah Band. We were
also able to play again the following day at
the town of Newport’s 200th celebration.
For a short parade it was packed full with
tons of floats and people flocked to watch
the parade. We really are inspired by all the
energy.
Special thanks goes out to Sean
Harrington, our back-up driver to jumping
on the float and taking care of the Cymbals
duty. He had never played them before but
a quick lesson from our director Earl and he
was well on his way to a lifelong musical
career!
We are in hopes that others will follow
Sean’s example and take on learning a
new instrument. Brass, wind, piano,
guitar, or piano lessons and instruments
provided to any and all who will be willing
to learn something new. The more people
we have, the more we can earn to give
directly to the children at the hospitals.We
dedicate Thursday evenings for a practice
commitment plus some parades to boot.
Practices are currently being held in Bangor
at the Shrine and sometimes they are held
in Newport.
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 perform 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.

We all had a great time at the Ceremonial
in Presque Isle and boy, did we sell a lot
of jewellery. We really appreciate all you
Nobles and your ladies who help us raise
money for our unit. Jimmy Leighton
wanted me to apologize for him. Several
people asked for license plate frames for
Shrine Ladies and he told them that we
didn’t have any. Later he found that we do
have them so they are available if you stop
in at the Temple and ask Larry.

When Allah calls, then our friends obey and fold thier tents
and steal away. To the land where the crystal waters flow,
where the Beautiful Palms of Allah grow. Life is a story in
volumes three, the past, the present, the yet to be. The first
we’ve written and laid away, the second we’re reading day by
day, The third and last of the volumes three,is locked from
sight - God keepeth the key.
