On My Mind ...
In My Heart
Illustrious Sir Ken Steele
Isn’t it wonderful to see so many
nobles, wives and friends get involved
to volunteer and donate their time?
This was witnessed by the number of
volunteers that came out to help with
the Shrine Golf Cup. A Big Thank You
to Tim Hudson and his committee for
putting on such a great event. Also I
want to thank the Grand Falls Casino
for hosting this event – they were fantastic! The income from this event
goes to the Shrine Hospital
Endowment Fund.
Another Big Thank You goes to
Ken Ward and his committee for chairing the Shrine Football Game; starting
the day with our “Tailgate” at 9:30 in
the morning serving eggs, cheese and
bacon breakfast sandwiches, followed
by the noon lunch of burgers and
brats — What a Great Day! Thanks to
Steve Hauff and his culinary experts
for providing us with such great vittles.
While waiting for the game we also
had a bean bag toss contest, which a
young lady won. From there we went
over to the Augustana football stadium
for the Shrine Football Game and
watched them trounce St. Cloud. We
had a great showing at halftime of all
the El Riad Shriners that were on the
field. Very impressive! Congratulations
to Jerry McNary for being our
“Honorary Coach” for the game. We
also presented four $100 prizes to the
winners of the football sales. We also
gave away a bike to two children.
Also I want to thank our Shrine patient,
OFFICIAL CALL OF THE POTENTATE:
NOBILITY OF EL RIAD
MONTHLY
STATED MEETING
Wednesday, November 11
Robbie Carroll, for being there.
The income from this event is
split between our Shrine Hospital
Endowment Fund and our transportation fund.
On September 19th we held the
Pote’s Party at Minnehaha Country
Club — what a great time. A Big
Thank You to our Pote’s Ball
Committee who went over and above
Lady Lynne’s and my expectations.
Another Big Thank You to all that
attended and supported this event.
We hope you had a great time!
On September 29th my Lady
Lynne and I had the honor of attending
the Daughters of the Nile banquet
honoring their Supreme Queen,
Sharon St. John from Albuquerque,
NM — what a nice lady. I also want
to give Shelby DeVries a Big Thank
You for inviting us and also to the
Daughters of the Nile for their continued donations to the Shrine Hospitals.
In July the Daughters of the Nile presented their second $1 million plaque
to the Twin Cities Shrine Hospital and
have given a total of $3.5 million to all
of our hospitals. What a great partnership the Shrine has with the Daughters
of the Nile.
There will be much more to talk
about next month, but that’s all for
now. Thanks again for all your hard
work and support — each of you are
very important to the success of El
Riad Temple!

El Riad Chanter Chatter
The holidays are rapidly
approaching and the Chanters are
busily preparing a variety of fresh, new
selections for our upcoming Christmas
performances! Once again, the
Chanters have been invited to return to
1st Congregational United Church of
Christ’s Performance Series! We will
be presenting our annual “Voices
of the Season” Concert on Friday,
November 20, at 7:30 p.m. The
church is located at 300 S. Minnesota
Ave. The event will include a freewill
offering for the Twin Cities Shrine
Hospital.
The concert will include a variety
of sacred and seasonal music performed by the Chanters along with
special guests, The Singing Boys of
Sioux Falls Concert Choir. Other
special guests include Paula Hahn,
soprano and two alumni of the Singing
Boys organization, Brody Krogman,
baritone; and Jacob Hubers, mallet
percussion. Brody is currently a
sophomore at USD and Jacob is a
sophomore at Lincoln High School.
We are excited to be able to showcase
these fine young artists on our concert
this season!
Congratulations to all the Chanters
on an outstanding performance at
MSA this past August. The guys did
an awesome job in competition,
coming in second place right behind
the chorus from Aberdeen. All of the
competing choruses did a great job
as the bar for competition seems to
get raised each season! This helps
keep all of us on our toes and striving
to become better singers as we
continue to rehearse every Tuesday
evening.
The Chanters would like to extend
an invitation to any Shriner who loves
to sing to come down to the Shrine on
any Tuesday night and check us out!
We rehearse from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. It
is not too late to join us for the upcoming holiday season. We sing a variety
of music and have a great time while
doing it.
Also, if you are in need of entertainment for the upcoming holiday
season, check out our ad in the
Cactus and give us a call — we would
love to share our music with you and
your group!
Respectfully submitted,
— Del Hubers,
Artistic Director,

El Riad Steel Drums
Happy Autumn everyone. Fall is in the air. It was
also apparent in Fargo at the MSA. There were certain
individuals from a couple of different stellar units
that bore witness to this.
Moving on, the Steel Drum had a great
time performing at the Augustana/Shrine
football pre-game tailgate party. We
enjoyed playing in front of a nice crowd
and interacting with the football players
and cheerleaders, as well as the football parents sharing the area with us.
On September 17th we had our
fall golf outing at Garretson. We had a
good turnout of golfers and, as always,
had an excellent steak dinner provided
by Ron Luke of the Garretson Food Store.
On October 2nd and 3rd we had our Fall
Fling with our wives and significant others. This
year we went to Omaha and stayed in the Old Market
area. The trip was organized by none other than Dick
“Cranium,” so a big shout out to Dick for getting this put
together. There may be more to report on this in the next
article.
The next performance of the Steel Drum will be at the
Fall Ceremonial on November 7, 2015. We look forward to
seeing you all there to welcome in our new brothers.
Last but certainly not least is our upcoming Rockin’
New Year’s Eve co-sponsored with the El Riad Dance Club.
As stated before, this is the final performance ever by the
Rumbles. The Rumbles band includes Steve Hough on
drums and vocals. Steve is the iron man original of this
group, which has been performing all over the
Midwest for over 50 years. Other members are
Todd Henseler on bass, sax, keys, and
vocals; Gayle Adams on
guitar and vocals; and Tim
Vasquez on keys, guitar,
harmonica and vocals. Please
read the farewell press release
in this issue.
So please start making your
plans for this epic farewell performance by one of the best party
bands of the last 50 years and mark
your calendars for Thursday, December
31st, 2015. Ticket information will be
coming soon.

El Riad Motor Corps
September featured one busy weekend and October
has been pretty quiet so far. On Friday, Jerry Hauff and I
tried to represent the Motor Corps at the Shrine Cup this
year. It was a fun day, so a big shout-out to the Shrine Cup
committee! However, our golf game just was not up to par
… more like bogey.
The following day the Motor Corps debuted our new
inflatable at the Shrine Football game. If you didn’t happen
to see it, it is a giant bear and it was a hit with the kids.
Thank you to Robin Ward and Neil Kotas for making it
happen. We also honored “Honda” John Bayer and Neil as
Honorary Coaches.
The Sunday of that same weekend, eight of the Motor
Corps made our way to Minneota, MN for Boxelder Bug
Days. What a great parade. The streets were wide and the
A great time
for a
great cause!
sidelines were full of spectators. If you have the opportunity
to go and be a part of this parade I would highly recommend it.
At our monthly meeting in October we were informed
that long time member Ron Ingalls would be leaving us.
Ron is heading out east and moving to Virginia. On behalf of
the Motor Corps I would like to wish Ron the best of luck on
his new adventure.
I would like to thank everyone again for all your hard
work this summer parading and putting on our Poker Run.
Without your help and volunteer hours none of this would be
possible.
Till the Wheels Fall Off,
— Commander Aaron Neiman

Thank you to all of you who support our mission at
Shriners Hospitals for Children – Twin Cities. We would like
to highlight a few of our younger donors from this summer:
Patient Katie Winckler from South Dakota raised
$3,400 for the Twin Cities Shriners Hospital and collected
used prosthetics for her Senior Class Project, which she
donated to an organization called Limbs for Life.
Sara Alli Searles, Miss Pre-Teen Midwest from
Wisconsin, collected 800 boxes of fun, brightly colored
latex-free bandages for patients.
Patient Annie Hannig from North Dakota raised over
$2,500 for the Twin Cities Shriners Hospital by selling
“Team Annie” T-shirts in conjunction with a local marathon.
Wrestling teams from Minnesota collected over $2,500
by hosting a local Walk-A-Thon.
Students from Chippewa Falls High School in Wisconsin
collected several bags of new toys and brand new blankets
as part of a service project.
Briana Weimer and Olivia Shelton from Minnesota
collected several bags of new toys and treats for the
patients at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Twin Cities.
Always thinking of others, Kim Tran opted to have her
guests bring gifts for Twin Cities patients to her own birthday
party and ultimately donated several bags of toys and gift
cards too.
Students at Master Moon’s World Tae Kwon Do in
Eden Prairie, MN collected over $24,000 at their third annual
Kicking for Miracles event. This brings their three-year total
to over $75,000!

ritualistic work. Everyone has worked very hard to have a
successful visit.
A banquet was held in the lower level of the Masonic

her reign. She is very proud to be able to present four

Bob Uecker and Warren Jones
Hunters with a Common Bond
It’s not very often that we have a
neat story to share, but Bob Uecker
sure does. This is a story of complete
strangers that become friends during
the Freedom Hunt at Sioux River
Wildlife. Shortly thereafter, they discover that they are both Shriners!
(As told by Bob Uecker) During a
recent hunting outing near Flandreau,
SD, I had the pleasure of meeting this
gentleman, who was volunteering for
the PVA/Freedom Hunt. His name
was Warren Jones and he was from
Fredericksburg, TX.
After a short get-to-know-you
conversation, it was brought up that he
was from a Houston, TX suburb and in
the area for only three months. Warren
lived just a few minutes up the road
from the Freedom Hunt. It didn’t take
long for us to find common ground on
many issues. Then he mentioned that
he was involved in a Shriners unit in
Texas. I was so proud to tell him of my
recent induction into the El Riad of
Sioux Falls, SD. He smiled and said
that he also was a member of the El
Riad and several other Shrine organizations across South Dakota.
It just goes to show that you never
know where or when you are going to
meet a fellow Brother. He says hello to
Ken as well.

SHRINE FOOTBALL GAME
Saturday, September 12th
We had 15 members of the Culinary Unit present for the
Shrine Football Game feed. Thanks to everyone who helped
make this day so special.
The best part of this beautiful day was the presence of
Tom Mark! We appreciate all your work to positively promote the Shrine and Culinary Unit. We are privileged to
serve with you! Tom is the embodiment of what we envision
a fraternal Shriner to be, a positive influence on all, for the
betterment of all.
A PERSPECTIVE BY
SAM SOMMERS
The way we care for each other and build each other up
in times of need says a lot about all of our Brothers. Our unit
has a special blend of humor, empathy and lifestyle motivation. Somehow molding oneself into a better individual is
easier with all of the fine examples of men our unit has. I
know we are not perfect but we accept each other listen
and coach each other through our broad spectrum of life’s
experiences. Everyone’s story is a parable waiting to bring
us all closer to God. Prayers from my
fellow brothers continue to increase my faith
— Steve Hauff, Culinary Unit President
Due to the absence of our regular columnist,
the balance of this article is being reported by
our newest member, Chris P. Bacon ...
Dave Sieler and crew
made breakfast sandwiches
— a tradition at this football
event. I think we served 72 of
them and I ate two of them.
Thanks to Dave Dierks, Tim
Dunn and Jerry Hauff for
helping on the breakfast
treats.
We fed 30 of the Augie
spirit squad plus the pep
band. The grill masters fixed
96 brats, 80 hot dogs and
130 hamburgers. You guys
know how to fix food. Thanks a million.
Glad to see Gary Fischer getting involved.
For those of you who missed the event, we did miss
you! Bruce Boegler showed up after the cleanup was done
as he had another company function to work today. He did
help partake of some refreshments before taking the grill
home.
Our goal is to help you pursue yours. It's that simple.

His report, per usual, was vague and nondescript. He says
he waits for the bank auditors to sort out all the number stuff.
Again, thanks to all who volunteered at Augie. And
congratulations to the Vikings, who won their game against

El Riad Sprint Cars
The summer parade season is behind us. Early
September found us in beautiful Minneota, MN. Prior to the
parade, Chad DeVries pulled out his grill and served up his
special-recipe hamburgers, best ever.
We then tore up the streets and left
everyone watching the parade begging for more.
We finished the Mark Richard
Parade Tour with a stop in Madison,
SD, where we participated in the
Trojan Days parade. We were the last
entry in the parade, which means they
left the best for last. The day ended
with a stop at Dave & Chris Duncan’s
place at Lake Madison. Everyone had
a great time and we thank them for
their hospitality.
September also included our
annual “Ladies Gone Wild’ night. This is a night when we
allow the ladies come out to our practice field and run the
cars through the obstacle course. Side note: they all ran the
course faster than Mike “Putt-Putt” Olawsky. Prior to the
Subliminal
Marketers
Advertise in the
Cactus!
competition, the Culunary Unit
prepared a meal for us. Once the completion started it was
all business for the ladies. There was swearing, hair pulling
and shoe throwing, and when the
dust cleared Vicki Meirose was
champion followed by runner-up
Shelby DeVries. I cannot wait for
next year because it just seems to
get better every year.
We now turn our attention to
our annual fundraiser. The committee has been working overtime
and on November 14th we will
once again have Abbey Road and
we hope to see all of you there. If
you like Beatles music then you
are sure to have a good time, and
if you don’t like Beatles music you
too, will have a good time.
Four wheels on the street to help kids get back on their
feet.

Sioux Wheelers Basketball
El Riad has once again been
asked to come and “play” the Sioux
Wheelers basketball team. As you
know, we played with them last year
and got WHIPPED but we will try again
this year. We cannot use unit money or
temple money to fund this event. The
money raised will be a freewill offering
by all who attend. Please bring as
many people as you can and help
El Riad make their day.
We have had several units sign up
to play so I would encourage all to go
and watch our guys play the “Second
Place Nationals Team” for a win.
All that attended last year had a
very good time and it is a great fun to
watch our boys do their magic. We
have several of our Shriners’ patients
playing on the team. To name a few,
Sammy Trejo and Abe Martin are
current Junior players with some adult
Some of the action from last year’s event at Axtel Middle School
players that are former patients of
Shriners Hospitals for Children.
When: February 17th, 2016 at
7:00 p.m.
Where: Axtell Park school at
9th and West in the school gym (south
door)
The purpose of this matchup is
to raise money for travel for the
basketball team. We raised $1,400 last
year to help with travel expenses. They
went to the nationals and got second
place. How cool!
Thank you in advance for your
support.

Shrine Football Committee Report
Paper Football Sales Committee:
Matt Johnson and his committee did a
great job on selling our paper footballs!
Bean Bag Tournament
Committee: Joe Wager did a terrific
job of staffing and running the bean
bag equipment (thanks to the Steel
Drum Band for allowing us to use
those). We had a good turnout of players for that and raised a little money
for our Hospitals in the process.
Ad Sales Committee: Dave
Bangasser and his committee did
another fine job of selling ads again
this year!
Tailgate and Oasis: Thanks to PP
Don Jensen for making arrangements,
securing a tent and Boy’s and Girl’s
bike, tables, and chairs for this event.
Thanks to Darold “Disco” Ball and the
Potentate’s Aides for ensuring that no
one got thirsty. Thanks to Steve Hauff
and the Culinary Unit for ensuring that
no one got hungry.
Public Relations: Tom Johnson
did a fantastic job this year for us
again this year. He also did a great job
as Master of Ceremonies at halftime of
the game! Shrine patient: Robbie
Carroll, gave a great speech to football
team at the player banquet and
appeared at the game. Augustana
gave us 11 minutes for our program
and Tom figured out how to use exactly 11 minutes to make a great impression on the crowd about our Shriner’s
Hospitals, and about how great El
Riad Shrine is, and about what we do
with patients such as Robbie.
Potentate: Illustrious Sir Ken
We had a game and tailgate party
on September 12th, 2015! I can’t help
but be proud about El Riad Temple
and what a fantastic day we had!
Congratulations go to Jerry
McNary on being named as our
Shriner of the Day!
This is one of two fundraisers
that we do each year where ALL of
the net proceeds support our Shriner’s
Hospitals for Children (half for our
local Transportation Fund and half for
the Hospital fund). Our success is due
to all of the hard work from the following (in no particular order).
Units and Clubs: Thank you to
those Units and Clubs who also participated at the game — Rickshaws for
bringing our Potentate and Shriner of
the Day to the coin toss in style;
Legion of Honor for presenting the
Colors of our Country; Chanters for
singing our National Anthem; Fife and
Drum for selling our plastic footballs.
Past Chairman Harland Danielsen
did a great job of mentoring and
coaching me throughout the year and
assisting me on game day. Also PP
Dave Neiman and PP Charles Brown
for support all year.
Honorary Coaches: Thanks to
Scott Denney, who coordinated all of
the Honorary Coaches wind shirt
sales. Thanks to all of the individuals
and Units and Clubs that purchased
these honorary coach sponsorships
this year. It makes a huge difference to
our game success.
Plastic Football Sales: Mike and
John Archer again did a great job of
heading up the plastic football sales!
Steele for his support throughout the
year he made every meeting.
Divan Ladies: Thanks for your
help at the Players Banquet!
Divan: Thanks to all of the members of the Divan for their participation
and support each year! What a great
group of men we have leading El Riad
Temple.
Ladies: Last, and certainly not
least, thanks to all of the Shrine Ladies
who come to the tailgate party and
game to support their men. We couldn’t do it without you!
Believe it or not, we’ve already
begun working on next year’s game.
We’ll continue to improve this game as
best we can. If you believe you could
help us to make this game better,
please talk to me about joining this
great group of men. We can always
use one more great guy!

Give $100 and Feel Like a Million!
Join the Shrine’s
The $100 Million Dollar Club is a way for Shriners and non-Shriners alike to provide a gift
of hope for a child in need. It’s an excellent opportunity to personally participate in the “World’s
Greatest Philanthropy” – Shriners Hospitals for Children.
The Shriners operate 22 hospitals in North America dedicated to treating children with orthopaedic problems and burn injuries. There are 18 orthopaedic hospitals, three burn hospitals
and one Shriners Hospital that provides orthopaedic, burn care and spinal cord injury care. All
care and services provided by Shriners Hospitals are totally without cost to the patient or family.
Since the founding of Shriners Hospitals in 1922, about $5.5 billion has been spent to provide quality and compassionate medical care to more than 675,000 children with orthopaedic
problems, severe burn injuries or spinal cord injuries. Most of these services are paid for by
the Shriners Hospitals for Children endowment fund.
Without this fund, Shriners Hospitals would not be able to ensure optimum and compassionate patient care. In order to meet the needs of thousands of children in need of the expert
care Shriners Hospitals provide, the endowment fund must continue to grow during these
times of increasing cost of medical care.
Since approximately 95 percent of the annual Shriners Hospitals for Children operating
budget will be spent in direct support of the 22 hospitals, your gift to its endowment fund is a
gift to one of the world’s “purest” philanthropies.

Shriners Hospitals for Children:
A History of Innovation and Excellence in Burn Care
Shriners Hospitals for Children®
is noted worldwide as a leader
in pediatric burn care. Since
opening our three pediatric burn
hospitals in the 1960s, our health
care system has been at the
forefront of innovative programs
and treatment techniques that
have both dramatically improved
the survival rate for children with
severe burns and enhanced their
quality of life.
Here is a brief timeline of
the development of our burn
care program:
1960s: In response to the growing
awareness of a need for pediatric
burn care, research and education,
the governing body of the Shriners
organization passed a resolution
at the Imperial Session in 1962
to build and operate hospitals
specializing in pediatric burn care.
The first one opened in 1966 in
Galveston, Texas, followed by
those in Cincinnati and Boston
two years later. The establishment
of these hospitals helped raise
awareness of burn injuries and
appropriate care throughout the
medical community.
1970s: Tremendous improvements
in survival rates were made,
particularly because of innovative
research in excision, grafting, and
intravenous feeding. In addition,
pressure garments that helped
lessen scarring were developed.
Shriners Hospitals for Children —
Cincinnati pioneered skin banking
– a precursor to future methods of
tissue, bone and skin procurement.
In addition Shriners Hospitals
for Children worked with the
United States Fire Administration
and Consumer Product Safety
Commission to identify burn
prevention programs for schools
and fire departments. And finally,
our Boston hospital began the
first school re-entry program
for patients.
1980s: Outpatient clinics were
added at the three burn hospitals
to provide continued care after
patients are discharged. Also,
researchers at Shriners Hospitals
for Children discovered that early
surgical excision and grafting
reduces infections, shortens
hospital stays and improves
cosmetic outcomes for patients.
Finally, Burn Awareness Week, a
national education campaign, was

Bottom left:

Bottom right:
Shriners Hospitals

created in an effort to raise public
awareness and reduce the number
of burn injuries in children.
1990s: Services were expanded at
our burn hospitals. Care was made
available for non-burn conditions
such as port wine stains, congenital
ear deformities and other complex
wound and skin conditions. In
addition, new programs were
set up to help burn patients with
psychological and social issues,
including transitioning back to
school and community. And, in
1997, Shriners Hospitals for Children
— Northern California opened in
Sacramento to serve children with
orthopaedic conditions, burns and
spinal cord injuries. The hospital has
become the busiest pediatric burn
center in the western U.S.
2000 - 2010s: Shriners Hospitals for
Children continues to demonstrate
and be recognized for their
leadership in burn care. The hospitals
in Boston and Cincinnati received
the Press Ganey Summit Award for
extraordinary patient satisfaction.
All four burn hospitals have leaders
who have served as president of
the American Burn Association
and three of the hospitals have
hosted or co-hosted the World Burn
Congress, an annual event of the
Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors
that brings together approximately
800 burn survivors and their families,
caregivers, burn care professionals
and firefighters to share experiences
and support one another.
In the years and decades to come,
Shriners Hospitals for Children
expects to continue its leadership
in pediatric burn care, and its longstanding legacy of improving the
lives of children.

El Riad Fife & Drum Corps
I would like to begin with a huge shout out to the
Archer Clan (John Archer, Mike Archer, Darrell
Griggs and Nick Fossum). They were directly
responsible for selling 500 footballs at $5 each at
the Shrine Football Game. Selling these footballs is
a chore the Fife & Drum have taken the lead on
over the years with the funds going directly to the
hospital. Also thanks to Devon Johnson for helping as well. I am certain my fellow Nobles and fans
at the game know they are about to become $5
lighter when they see John heading their direction
bellowing “Shrine footballs, $5 dollars!”. I should
point out that the 500 total is 100 more footballs than
they sold last year. Way to take your game to another
level guys!
Also proud to report we sponsored Todd
Neuberger and Harland Danielson as honorary
Shrine Game Captains this year. Our tradition is to
appoint two past Brigadiers as our Captain selections
each year. As many of you know, Harland has been a
valued leader of our Shrine Game over the years and he’s
certainly earned a Coach’s distinction! On a side note, sure
appreciated the Culinary Unit’s efforts at the Shrine Game,
their burger and brat buffet setup at the tailgate is becoming legendary!
Speaking of Todd, his daughter Kaity got
engaged this past month, so looking forward to
him buying drinks at her wedding. And speaking of weddings, Meaghan Johnson, daughter
of Kevin & Lady Pat will become a bride on
October 10th. Sure fun to see our kids
becoming grownups themselves ... Not so fun
seeing how old the rest of us are becoming as
a result!
Finally, would like to welcome Joe Greve
and his Lady Kay as the newest members of the
Fife & Drum!
