A Moment with
W
Maurice
hat an exciting time at Ararat Shrine!
First of all let me say congratulations to the Greeters for a fantastic Denim and Diamonds party, lady Judi
and I had a wonderful time and it truly was a night to remember. GREAT JOB GREETERS!
Then it was off to the land of Kansas for the Brew to Brew run. I have yet to understand why someone would run all
those miles when no one is chasing them, but it sure seems popular for those that enjoy running. Let me say thank you to
Jim Kerns and the Kansas City track club for allowing Ararat Shrine to be a part of such a great event. Also a great big
thank you for the generous donation to Ararat Shine. To all that worked this event thank you, you hard work and generosity of time is what make this such a large success.
The next thing you know we are in Lathrop Missouri for the one and only Ararat Shrine swap meet. Again the nobility
of Ararat Shrine, shines! Everywhere you look or turn you see a Shriner working from daylight to dark, have fun and making another event a success. Thank you to all of you, there is no way we could have this event without your hard work and dedication.
Steve what a fantastic job you have done this year as the Liaison to this event, I know you had a great team that made it very easy to be the custodian to this project. Again great job to all!
Last but not least, I would like for you all to know that it has been truly a wonderful experience to serve as your Potentate thus far this year. It is
an honor and a privilege to spend my time with a wonderful group on nobles and ladies. What a humbling experience! I thank the good Lord each and
every day for my blessing and I thank you all as well.
Remember “Dreams to Reality” for Ararat Shrine and Shiners’ Hospitals for Children.
Yours in Faith,
Maurice Camerlynck

“Dreams to Reality”
Attention
All Units
and Clubs…
A
rarat’s Membership Committee is hard
at work on our New Nobles Handbook.
This book is a starter manual for our
new nobles that will assist them in knowing a
bit about the goings on in our Shrine Center.
Each unit and club will be called upon to provide some information about their operation.
In effect, each club and unit will be given
a one page “Advertisement” for each new noble. Be sure to include a statement about what
you focus on, when and where you meet. What
it costs to join and why a Noble would LOVE
to be a part of the group. This MUST be turned
in to Jim Gargotta or Bill Warren by Wednesday, May 14, 2014. If your unit and club do not
make a submittal, your information will not be
in our next publication.
If you need help, please reach out to Jim
and Bill; they will be happy to assist.

Hospital News
Hospital Van Drivers
If you are a member of Ararat Shrine you are encouraged to call the Hospital Transportation Office (816) 923-5429 or (816) 923-1319 and become one of those men who
transport our children to the St. Louis Hospital. This will be one of the most rewarding
activities you will ever experience.
We encourage every man in Ararat to become a driver. It will require you to go to
your State Driver’s License Office and obtain a copy of your driving record. As a matter
of fact, all drivers need to bring their records up to date in this manner.
A big Thank You to the following Nobles who have driven the Hospital Van in the
month of March!

Notes from Board of Governors
St. Louis Shriners Hospital for Children
by Wayne Spencer P.P.
T
he new Hospital continues to progress at a rapid pace. The Staff is developing processes
and policies to expedite the move when the time comes. The Staff is really excited about
the new building and their new home. It should be an exciting new era.
While we are discussing the future, we are getting ready to celebrate the past. The 90th Anniversary Party Gala is scheduled for August 22nd and 23rd. As I understand it now, it will be
held in the Fox Theater in St. Louis. The theme is the Roaring Twenties. More to come on this,
but if you can go it should be a great time. There will be local St. Louis celebrities and I am sure
Imperial Officers present. There will be a block of hotel rooms available. Keep your eyes and
ears posted for the upcoming announcements.
The referrals are still down from previous years and our patient load is declining as a result.
Remember, if you have a neighbor or friend with a child in need, we need to get them in the
system. Shriner referrals are still one of the main ways we get patients. We need to support our
hospital and help our community at the same time. We call them referrals, but it is Love to the
Rescue.
Speaking of patient referrals, there are some questions surrounding the insurance co-payment requirement. By law, if a parent or caregiver has insurance for the patient and there is a
co-pay involved, the Shriner’s Hospitals must attempt to collect this co-pay. However, we do
not refer the parent or caregiver to a collection agency for failure to pay. If someone questions
you about this and they have concerns, please refer them to the billing department at St. Louis
Hospital. At the risk of being a Philadelphia lawyer, it is better for us as Nobles to refer to the
source. Bottom line is that we are still taking care of our kids regardless of their ability to pay.
Telemedicine still is struggling along, but the committee is doing all it can to make it a more
viable source for the Hospital. Headquarters is now looking into developing an insurance code
for this service. Historical data being tracked will be used in this endeavor.
The current capital program has netted over $3 million dollars so far and they are looking
for Corporate and Foundation sponsors. If you know a connection with a Foundation or Corporation, please let me know and we can have the Community Relations and Development team at
St. Louis make contact. We need to keep our Hospital financially strong.
For a closing, I will make my pitch again for Hospital Van Drivers at Ararat. Our drivers
make many trips a month to St. Louis and could use some assistance. If you are interested,
please contact the Hospital Office at Ararat and they will be happy to explain the program and
requirements.
Until next time, remember to support our Kids and our Hospitals.

By STEVE DOWDY
T
he Bordeaux grape varieties are some of the most widely traveled grapes in the world.
Because everyone likes red Bordeaux, everyone wants to grow its main grape, Cabernet
Sauvignon. Because most Cabernet Sauvignon is better with a little of some other grape
added the other Bordeaux grapes, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, have come along.
The classic flavor of red Bordeaux is black currants and cedarwood, and that’s basically
the flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon. In warmer spots, it is bigger and richer; in cooler spots, it
tastes a bit green. That’s not so desirable. Just about anywhere you can think of has Cabernet
Sauvignon, either bottled on its own or filled out with a touch of something else.
In parts of Bordeaux, Merlot has taken over as the main grape in the blend, usually stiffened with a little Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc to give it a little more backbone. It
makes a softer wine than Cabernet Sauvignon, with lusher, plummier, fruit, but it doesn’t usually age as well. The two grapes together can make a perfect marriage, and more and more
growers of Cabernet Sauvignon are seeing the virtues of adding some Merlot.
You wouldn’t often see a varietal Cabernet Franc, although some do exist here and there.
The Loire Valley in France is where it is most widely grown for its own merits. The reds of
Chinon, Samour-Champigny, and Bourgeuil are what to look for. It has a grassier, lighter,
more raspberryish flavor than Cabernet Sauvignon. In a blend, especially with Bordeaux, it
adds perfume and elegance. The great Chateau Cheval Blanc in Bordeaux contains a lot of
Cabernet Blanc.

I
confess. I’m a “people watcher!” Others in my
family accuse me of “gawking.” I’m guilty. I like
to sit at shopping centers, public concerts, sporting
events, parks, etc. “watching all the people go by.” I
don’t like what I’m seeing these days. People hungering for a sense of belonging. Young people who feel
that that no one really cares. Individuals of all ages
caught in the treadmill of trying, without achieving.
What is missing from each of these lives? HOPE!
I congratulate our Potentate, Maurice Camerlynck, upon the choice of his 2014
theme. It takes him only three words to ask you and me and all of Ararat to HOPE! Study
the picture on our Calendar of Events Book and what do you see? HOPE!
HOPE keeps us looking ahead. HOPE flies the flag of expectation. Where there’s
HOPE, there’s wholesome enthusiasm.
A Shriner came upon a boy patiently fishing at a favorite fishing hole. “How
many have you caught?” he asked. Without turning around the boy answered, “If I catch
the one I’m after now, and the two more, I’ll have three.” It is HOPE that gives us enthusiasm for whatever we are doing.
Where there’s HOPE there’s earnest effort. HOPE inspires us to invest our effort
in any endeavor.
Another boy sat on the banks of a fishing stream when he was approached and
asked if he had caught anything. “I haven’t caught as many as I hoped, but then I didn’t
expect to.
Brothers, it is only as we anticipate great things that we will attempt and accomplish them. How many Ararat dreams can we turn into realities in 2014?
THE PHANTOM REPORTER
S
ighted at the Arab Shrine Potentate’s Ball, this sinister apparition wandered around for a few minutes, and tried to kiss a
small, blonde Lady wearing a white dress & cowboy boots.
There have been no reports of injury from any of his actions,
although some witnesses reported difficulty breathing, possibly resulting from excessive expressions of gaiety and disbelief.
Reportedly, some normal people allegedly recognized the
creature and suggested that he was an interloper from another
Shrine Temple far to the east of Arab, possibly from another state.
If you should happen to encounter him, scream loudly and leave the
area around him immediately.
The Illustrious Potentate of Ararat Shrine has been contacted, but he insists that this strange
creature is unknown anywhere east Tonganoxie.

We had one guy selling some metal sculptures of dragons, spiders, and vehicles. I didn’t buy
any, probably because I’ve got so many statues around my house that I can’t find a table to eat on. I
liked the old tools that were for sale, too. The men selling the tools were as interesting as the tools,
too. One fellow would pick up a tool and describe the entire history of that tool, starting when the
first pre-historic ape used a rock for whatever that tool is used for. Amazing. And, fascinating, too.
Then, by mid-afternoon on Saturday, you could see more than a few Shriners sleeping in
the lunch hall, in their cars, and, if you looked hard enough, I suspect you could find a couple of
Nobles asleep standing up. In their defense, some of them had been working since Friday morning, and none of them were lazy.
Shrineta did a great job of feeding us. Must have been a dozen or more Nobles working behind the counter to keep the other three or four hundred Nobles from starving. Barbecued ribs and
pulled pork sandwiches, slaw, and potato salad. It don’t get no better than that! Thanks, Shrineta!
This is what makes me proud to be a Shriner. One of many things that make me proud. It’s not
the making money; it’s just that our Nobles, my friends, are so willing to work like nervous ants to
make it a success. There’s not enough money in the world to pay somebody to work this hard, but
these guys, and their Ladies, do it for free, and with a smile. I am not alone in noticing this. Others
have mentioned how surprised they are to see so many helpful, friendly, men in one place. They
are Shriners. They’re us.

Sedalia Shrine Club
BY RON HINKLE, SCRIBE
F
rost no more; we hope. Winter has run its course and hopefully will not rear its head again
until December or so. For some reason it seems to have stayed cold longer than usual this
year, but warm weather is here now and we love it. Easter is upon us and we are reminded
that we are bought and paid for with a tremendous price and an incredible amount of love.
The Sedalia Shrine Club has started spring with a full agenda. We have already had our
Membership Dinner for March with Henry McDaniel, our Ararat Liaison from the Divan, and
Bill Boynton, our Ambassador, attending. Kenny Martin our Sedalia Shrine Club President,
thanks all of our members who attended. We have already held a Turkey Shoot at the club for a
fundraiser and a Spring Dance for our membership. Thank you Roger Vieth and Larry Perreguey
for your support of the Turkey Shoot, and Kenny & Kathy Martin and Ilene Web for making
the Spring Dance a success. We hope to have a lot of activities this year so stay on top of our
club events by patronizing our Bar, our Golf Course, attend our meetings, and don’t forget our
monthly Breakfast. Speaking of our Breakfast, we had a good turn out for the March Breakfast
and we thank all of our volunteers and those who patronized. Remember we can always use your
help the first Saturday of the month from 7:00 am to 10:00 am or your patronage. Support your
club and attend.
The Fun Kor has already started its parade season with a contingent at the St. Patrick’s Day
Parade at Bagnell Dam. Stan Schierholz, our Fun Kor Director, thanks all of our members who
showed up for this parade. Don’t forget, Fun Kor dues are due for all our Fun Kor members.
Remember, our Sedalia Shrine Club dues are also due at the first of the year.
Our Golf Course is open as of April 1st and Bill Hammerly has been busy readying the
course for play. Our Pro Shop is open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. We are trying to trim our budget
by running our golf with volunteers. If you can do an afternoon or morning shift it would be a
tremendous help in trimming our overall cost and keeping this club alive.
Our Senior Golf has already begun on Fridays at 1:00 pm. Come out for a good time on the
course and cool down afterwards in the Bar.
As always, our prayers are with our sick and disabled. Pray for those who suffered loss and
for those brave men and women who serve this great nation.

April Temple Meeting Notes
BY steve dowdy, photos by clayton riley
I
llustrious Sir Maurice Camerlynck called the
April, 2014, meeting to order at 7:30 pm,
April 9, 2014, in Bennett Auditorium.
Assistant Rabban Steve Johnson informed
the Captain of the Guard that the Potentate was
about to open Ararat Temple for business. That
done, Captain of the Guard Bud Higginbotham
informed the Outer Guard, and then reported
to Noble Johnson, who informed Illustrious Sir
Maurice that the Temple was under a double
and trusty guard.
Chief Rabban Clarence Kirby surveyed
the crowd and informed the Potentate that our
Temple was free from jeopardy as there were
none present save members of our order. The
Potentate replied “’Tis well.”
Oriental Guide Henry McDaniel prepared
the Altar.
Chaplain Loyd Gentry remembered our
Nobles who had been visited by the Black
Camel and gave the invocation.
The Legion of Honor and the Ararat Pipes
& Drums presented the colors, to the accompaniment of the Ararat Dixieland band.
The assembled Nobles, led by Chief Rabban Kirby, recited the Shrine Pledge of Allegiance.
Noble Jacque Mote led us in singing the
National Anthem. The Dixieland Band accompanied us.
In compliance with a motion passed in
February, the minutes of the March Meeting
were distributed on the chairs, and were not
read.
Recorder Mike Wheeler read three Petitions for Creation and two Petitions for Affiliation. Those Petitions were approved by secret
ballot. There was one Petition for Restoration,
and none for Demits or Remission.
Treasurer Nick Baldi gave the Treasurer’s
Report. Revenue exceeded expenses for the
General Fund, as was the case for most funds.
The Restaurant had a profit for the month of
March.
Noble Dave Johnson made a donation to
the 2014 Ararat Shrine Circus. A jug is displayed at his place of business, and that donation was the fruits of that jug,
Noble Steve Untrif, on behalf of the Bates
County Shrine Club, presented gifts to the
Children’s Hospitals, and to the Cornerstone
Fund and the 2014 Circus.
`Illustrious Sir John Hay, P.P., made a donation to the Hospitals.
No Visitors were present.
Illustrious Sir Maurice Camerlynck recognized the new Nobles of 2014 that were present.
Chief Rabban Kirby took the podium to
tell us about our 2014 Circus. Sales of Circus
novelties to Nobles are going well. He is planning to visit Clubs and Units in coming weeks
to promote the Circus. He thanked the Circus
Committee for their help.
Assistant Rabban Steve Johnson reported
on preparations for the Spring Swap Meet,
April 11, 12, and 13. Volunteers are needed on
Friday to help lay-out and mark the grounds.
Approximately 400 Vendor spots have been
sold, and more sales are expected.
Assistant Rabban Steve also told us of his
confidence in the Restaurant reorganization,
and praised the hard work of our Restaurant
Manager, Mary Bauer, and our Divan. The
Restaurant is expected to start serving lunch by
mid-May.
Substituting for High Priest & Prophet
Randy Berry, Ill. Sir Maurice spoke of this
year’s Vidalia Onion Sales Program. Reportedly, the crop is looking good in the field, and
onions are expected to arrive at Ararat during
the 2nd or 3rd week of May.
Oriental Guide Henry McDaniel spoke
about a baseball game on July13, saying we
should wear our fez. More information will
come later.
1st Ceremonial Master Jeff Quibell discussed the upcoming Warsaw Ceremonial. It
will be different! We will have a party on Friday Night, followed by the Ceremonial at Midnight and the Parade on Saturday. All night
fun!!!
Bingo Chairman Buck Johnson said that
Bingo attendance has improved, and he still
needs workers. The Bingo crew presented their
check to the General Fund, once again meeting
their goal! For the month of March, the players
donated generously.
No Hospital Committee report was presented this month.
Membership Chairman Rod McGrath
called for new Nobles from the March Spring
Ceremonial to come forward, and he presented Membership Certificates to Nobles Blake
Boehm, Dean Bezingue, Caleb Streitenberger,

members of the Pipes & Drums.

Paul Shores, James Butler, and George Saunders were not present. Noble Rod recognized
Nobles Tom Riley, Jim Gargotta, Bill Warren,
John Spottswood, Ron Nutter, and Caleb Streitenberger for hard work to make this Ceremonial a success.
Noble Rod also asked for one-sheet descriptions of all Clubs and Units to be included
in handouts to be given to new Nobles.
Illustrious Sir Maurice said that he was
quite proud of the changes to the Ceremonial
that we saw this time. The Nobility approved.
May 17 is the date of the Parade in Marshall, MO. The lunch served after the parade is
adequate reason to attend this one.
The adventures of the passengers and
crew of the SS Minnow will be re-lived at a
Gilligan’s Island Party on May 31. Come and
join in the fun.
Recorder Mike Wheeler read a Resolution
to cancel the July Temple Meeting because of
conflict with Imperial Ceremonial.
The Annual Wings of Mercy Golf Tournament will be held June 15, at Hoot Hollow,
Harrisonville/Peculiar. Check-in is at 7:00
am, tee-off at 8:00 am. Biscuits and gravy for
breakfast, and Barbeque for Lunch!

drawing, and donated it to the Circus.

Ararat Ladies
Without Nobles
BY MARVA McARTHUR-LaFON, SCRIBE
ur March meeting featured Claron
Fisher accompanied by Muir, a
beautiful black Lab mix puppy. He
is the 11th puppy that Claron has raised and
trained for Canine Companions. She trains
each puppy to ring a bell to go outside and
to obey basic commands of “sit,” “stand,”
“heel,” etc. as well as to pick up an item and
give it to her. Muir accompanies her to the
store, church, and everywhere she goes. The
puppy must learn to adapt to any location
their handicapped person may go. When the
puppy is 16 to 18 months old, Claron delivers it to a Boot Camp for extensive training.
Only fifty percent successfully pass. Others
are put up for adoption. Those who pass are
offered to eligible handicapped people as
their personal canine companions. The dog
allows their human to be more independent
and have a better quality of life. Dean Koontz
gave proceeds from three books that he wrote
with his golden Retriever, Trixie, to a fund
set up to assist needy handicapped persons
with Canine Companions to use to feed and
care for the dogs.
Ladies enjoyed lemon bar cookies,
brownies and chocolate candy “eggs.” Each
table had a centerpiece of a ceramic birdhouse to remind us it really is Spring - - according to the calendar. “Thank you” Gloria
Jackson and Barbara Greeley for this month’s
refreshments and decorations.
Long stem roses were given to Veita Anderson and Gloria Sutton to celebrate their
March birthdays.
We discussed a proposed bus trip to
Paola, KS on June 17th with interesting stops
and lunch at a German restaurant. Members
should sign up for this trip at our April meeting.
Ararat Ladies Without Nobles meet at
2 p.m. on the fourth Saturday each month.
We invite each Ararat lady who has lost her
Noble to attend a meeting to visit with us.
We welcome any of you who decide to join
our group.

BY R W THOMPSON, PRESIDENT (816452-7281)
ur next Club meeting is at 11:30 a.m.
on the second Saturday, May 10, 2014.
At our April 12th meeting our membership voted to move our meetings to O’Neill’s
Restaurant located at 9417 Mission Road,
Leawood, KS. Shortly after the vote, I met with
O’Neill’s Manager and arranged for our future
meetings.
WE SALUTE YOU, Mary Ellen Sippel
for your effective research. Factors considered
in the selection of O’Neill’s Restaurant:
1. Proximity to prospective members
2. Located in Leawood, KS
3. Reputation for food and service
We hope this will be a draw to our regular
and prospective members.
All Shriners and widows of Shriners are
welcome to attend our regular meetings. Come
to O’Neill’s. Tell us who you are and join the
fellowship. Please let me know your questions
or concerns.
We are grateful to the Pegah’s Family Restaurant for the excellent food and services provided to our members over many years.

Blue Springs Shrine Club
BY JIM GARGOTTA, SCRIBE
W
e had another great meeting on March 24th. The attendance was great and once again the food was delicious.
Noble Bill Fickle, owner of Side Pockets in Blue Springs, provided the main course of chicken fried steak, mashed
potatoes, green beans and of course our Ladies provided the rest.
Our President, Noble Phil Meisenheimer started the meeting. We ate and then we got down to club business. We welcomed some new members to the club, Noble Dean Bezingue and Noble Charlie White and Lady Kim. Wow, BSSC just
keeps growing! Assistant Director of Shrine Clubs, Noble Art Kinder and Lady Janet along with our Ambassador, Noble
Jim Lindley were in attendance. We were happy to see Noble Dick Newport back with us after back surgery. We had a few
members out due to surgeries or health issues. We wish Teresa Braley, Elaine Reiman, Angie Bonner and Louie Sohn speedy
recoveries.
It’s with deepest sorrow that we report that the Black Camel visited a longtime member, Lady Vivian Snell. Vivian was
the wife of Noble Willard Snell of Blue Springs and the mother of current Noble Jim Gargotta. She will be missed by all.
Everyone had a great time at the Maverick’s game. The Maverick’s beat the Quad City Mallards. We are also planning
our Pancake Breakfast for April 19th at Side Pockets in Blue Springs. We will be having the bucket of booze drawing again,
Giggles the Clown, Fez Head Fred, and an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. We are looking forward to seeing you there.
We meet the fourth Monday of each month. The meeting time is 6:30 p.m. in the Lantern Room at the American Legion
Post 499 on 7 HWY in Blue Springs. Come join us and be a part of the fun! Give us a call at 816-228-2401 if you’d like to
attend, have a free meal on us and see what we are all about.
