POTENTATES
MESSAGE
Robert Turner, Potentate
The month of February has passed by
way to fast. It has been busy representing
Anah Shrine at many events. The month
started with the Anah Association election
of new officer on the 2nd. They elected and
installed me as President, Steve Trimm
as Vice President and Larry Hersom as
Recorder. They also reelected Denny
Smith and elected Harold Sherwood as a
new member replacing Sonny Crocker.
We all want to thank outgoing President
Jesse Thomas and Sonny Crocker for all
their years of service and hard work.
The first weekend in February, Bonnie
and I with Roger and Julie Grindle
attended the Aleppo Shrine visitation in
Danvers, MA. The weekend was fun and
we visited with many of our counterparts
in the Northeast Shirne Association. They
all are very excited about the Notheast
Shrine Mid Winter visit in Fredrickton
NB in March. There are plans for several
educational workshops and hospital
presentations from Boston, Springfield
and the Canadian Hospital.
During the week of February 13th we
attended the Wheelers Super Supper. We
listened and danced to some wonderful
music from DJ Sonny Beal. We had a
great meal put on by the Second Section.
On Tuesday, I attended the Capital
Campaign committee meeting and the
Divan meeting.
Then on Wednesday the 17th, Anah
Association had a meeting and voted and
signed a contract to sell our Main Street
building. The closing date will be no
later than April 14. From the Association
meeting we traveled out to Country Side
Restaurant in East Corinth to attend the
Tri County Shrine Club meeting. We
visited with many old and new friends and
enjoyed one more great meal.
The weekend of the 20th we had the
pleasure of attending the Clowns Comedy
night at the temple. The three comedians
were very funny and we all laughed a lot.
If you missed this you should mark your
calendar for the next time they do this
because it was special and very enjoyable.
Tuesday the 16th I worked at the temple.
Then attended a Smart Team and
Membership meeting by phone. There is
a lot going on with these two committees
and every member of Anah is a member of
the Membership Team. We need your help,
please reach out to your Masonic friends
and invite them to attend some of our
events at the temple and the shrine clubs.
They will see all the fun and fellowship
we have and want to join Anah Shriners.
On Thursday of that week Dean Hoke
and I traveled to Boston for the Shriners
Hospital for Children-Boston Board of
Governors meeting.
Mark your calendars for the Anah
Shriner Circus in Bangor from April 29
to May 1. We will then travel to Presque
Isle for the Aroostook Anah Shrine Circus
from May 5-7th. Everyone that attends the
Anah Shrine Circus comes away with a lot
of new friends. Please come and volunteer
to work the Circus. Also the Clowns,
Highlanders, Funsters, Public Relations
and the Divan will have a parade at the
Bangor Mall on April 23rd to promote the
Anah Shrine Circus.
The June Ceremonial is coming
soon so mark your calendar and make
your reservations. This will be a joint
Ceremonial with Kora at Point Lookout
in Northport ME on June 17-18. We hope
you all will join us for this ceremony that
will be full of fun and fellowship.
Remember we are all,
SHRINERS HAVE FUN, DOING GOOD

The Circus is coming! The Circus is coming!
April 29 & 30 and May 1, 2016 in Bangor
May 5,6 and 7, 2016 in Presque Isle
We are a few weeks away from one of the most exciting time of the year to be a Shriner.
Soon we will be setting up and getting ready for the shows. It is a lot of work and takes
many people to make this a success. The Circus Committee would like to thank you
all ahead of time for helping out and volunteering your time. If you have not worked
a Circus in a while or are new to the Shrine, please come and help out if you have
some time. It doesn’t have to be every show or all day, it might be you only have a
couple of hours to help, we can find something for you to do. There will be a
manpower table set up when you first enter the doors upstairs. Please sign in and get
a wristband for that day. This is something the Cross Center asked us to do, so we
know how many people are in the building at any given time. We have a lot on new acts
this year and will have Elephant and Pony rides before and at intermission. This was a
great success last year and we think it will be even better this year.
For those of you that attend the Presque Isle Circus, you may notice something missing this
year. George Watson stepped down from being the Circus Chairman for Presque Isle Circus.
He led the group up there for over 30 years. If you see George hanging around up there
please thank him for his great leadership and support he has given to us to make the Circus
a great success year after year. George, I hope to see you there and have some chips ready
for me. If anybody needs guidance this year please see Jim Dwyer as he is the New Circus
Chairman for Presque Isle. See you all at the show.
Denny Hill,
Circus Director
BOSTON, MASS., FEBRUARY 24, 2016
Shriners Hospitals for Children® — Boston today announced the receipt of a $3 million gift to name The Howard Green Center for Children’s Skin Health and Research
in honor of the late Howard Green, M.D. The mission of this first-of-its-kind center will
be to carry on Dr. Green’s legacy by advancing the field of regenerative medicine
through research and providing specialized pediatric skin care to children with even
the most devastating and complicated injuries and conditions. All care will be provided
regardless of families’ ability to pay.
“For more than 50 years, Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston has been at the
forefront of burn care and the treatment of pediatric skin conditions,” said Matthias
Donelan, M.D., chief of staff at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston. “Along with
providing a natural pathway into pediatric dermatology, this gift will drive more translational research that will expand the scope of our care and ultimately benefit more
children around the world, many of whom could otherwise not afford treatment.”
Dr. Green was the first to grow skin grafts using a patient’s own cells, one of the earliest examples of stem cell therapy.
The first grafts from cultured skin were used to treat two patients with life-threatening burns at the Boston Shriners Hospital in the early 1980s. The patients survived and Dr. Green’s discovery forever improved the life expectancy of patients
with acute burns. He dedicated his career to furthering scientists’ understanding of skin regeneration and improving the
outcomes for patients with devastating skin injuries and conditions.
"It is because of the foresight of the doctors at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston that the first application in tissue
engineering was conducted, saving two boys who had no other chance of survival,” said Rosine Kauffmann Green, Dr.
Green’s widow. “My husband would have been pleased that his work will be the basis for further study and care of children's skin. He would be very proud of this moment."
The Center will expand upon the hospital’s current research in the area of pediatric skin health, working hand-in-hand with
the clinical practice to move regenerative medicine along the discovery continuum to bring new treatments to children
more quickly.
“The research Dr. Green pioneered throughout his career not only established the scientific basis for an entirely new field
called regenerative medicine but also changed the course of burn care and saved many lives at our hospital and around
the world,” said Mehmet Toner, Ph.D., director of research at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston. “This gift elevates
our position as a leading research facility and will enable us to continue our commitment to research projects that will
further improve the outcomes and lives of patients with burns and skin disorders.”

Waldo County Shrine Club is having an
Bill Geel, Reporter
First lobster boat unit meeting of the
season will be held at the Ed Pellon Center
in Machias on April 12th. If anyone would
like to get a sandwich before the meeting
we will meet at Pat’s Pizza at 5:00.
The May 10th meeting will be held at
Jordan’s Snack Bar in Ellsworth at 6:00.
Captain Scott Edgerly would like to
request everyone be at these meetings,
because summer line up is just around
the corner. Past Captain Carroll Chandler,
Scott Johnson, Runtz Farnsworth and
Yours Truly traveled to Scott Edgerly’s
boatyard to check on the new mold for
the first new lobster boats. Heard through
the grapevine that the first boat was going
to Santa Claus. Am I finally going to able
to crack the case of Santa Claus and his
mysterious reindeer?
Bill Sinford is on the mend and doing
well. Betty Fernald is recovering well
from hip replacement surgery. Captain
Edgerly and Past Captain Chandler
travelled to Bangor to remove our wall at
the old temple.
The unit is still looking for new
members to join the best boat unit in Anah
Temple. All you have to do is know how
to navigate. Please call Captain Scott
Edgerly at 664-0229 or Past Captain
Carroll Chandler at 497-2631 or Past
Captain Bill Geel at 667-5125. We’ll try
to get you started on the right navigational
course. Notice to Runtz-you’re not going
to believe this, my wife woke me up the
other night and thought it would be a good
idea for me to take a course in navigation.
I think she was sleepwalking because
she put me in the car, took me down to
the edge of the ocean where there was a
rowboat (with one oar), made me get in
it and pushed it off shore. P.S. I told her
I had my foreign navigational book. I
said, “I suppose you want me to throw a
bucket of water into the wind to see where
it lands.” She said I would be smarter to
throw it behind me so I don’t get wet.
Runtz, does Ora ever say things like that
to you? Ran into Noble Chad Terry a few
days ago and he said Wilbert and Joan are
just getting their overcoats off in Florida.
I heard Runtz was getting a new boat for
his pond. When are we going to christen
it Runtz? I think we had better wait for
a sunshiny day. I think it’s almost time
to call my sternman, Forrest, to see if we
should get our fishing poles out of the
closet and go see what we can’t catch.
Birthday celebrators are Wilbert Terry,
Carole (with an e) Simpson, Mike Madore,
and Julie Fernald.
Honeymooners are Geddes and Carole
(with an e) Simpson, Scott and Lori
Johnson, and Carroll and Susan Chandler.
Hope you young honeymooners don’t eat
too much popcorn.
Oops! Gotta go. The phone’s ringingonly three choices; telemarketer, someone
with a political question, or the wrong
number. Looks like I’m in for a busy
summer.

The Anahgram
By Steve Trimm, President
Greeting from Waldo County Shrine Club.
As you read this March has already come and
gone and April is finally here.
Seems like we really didn’t have a winter at
all. I think I plowed four times this winter. As
we get towards warmer weather it will be a
welcome addition to have our new heat pumps
installed and ready to go, this will keep the
facility cool in the summer and help with the
heat cost in colder months, a welcome addition.
April 8th is Ladies night at Waldo County
Shrine which I believe will be catered by the
Otis group, they always do a great job. Please
try to attend. We will also have an Oyster
Festival May 20th at Young’s Lobster Pound at
6pm with a 7pm dinner of Oyster Rockefellers,
on the half shell oysters and also Oyster Stew.
Steak Tips will be available for those who want
this instead of the oysters. Libations will be
served. Proceeds from this will benefit the
Springfield Shrine Hospital. Price of this event
is $25 per person. Should be a great time with
lots of fun.
The Shrine Circus will be here soon. Please
come down to the Cross Center and help
wherever you can. It takes a lot of volunteers
to make this a success.
In closing please support your Blue Lodge,
as it is the Lifeline to Shrine.
Yours in Faith,
Steve Trimm, President

Greetings from the North! First some
housekeeping, If you read our March
submission to the Anahgram and wondered
what on earth was going on, its ok so were
we. The band’s article was a sort of tribute
to Glenn Frey, throughout it I included as
many song titles from the Eagles as I
could. Oh… and an update on our missing
director Noble Carl Allen, we have gotten
word that he is alive and well, but still is
off on his quest. I hope he returns before
parade season though, I went to Jared and
he is plum out of new belly button
diamonds and no one wants to reuse Carl’s
old one.
So the band is finding itself in bit of a
sticky wicket, we have two of our
drummers on injured reserve. Both Noble
Gregory Belanger and Noble Bud Wilson
are laid up with an arm in a sling, making

it awful hard for them to play. They were
convinced that they could come up with
some sort of stunt to entertain the crowd
while we were playing at the upcoming
Circus. I tried to tell them to leave the
foolishness to those “friggin Klowns”, our
music is more than enough to enthrall the
masses. But do you think they would
listen to me… NO!!! And now we are a
couple of percussionists short of a drum
line if you know what I mean.
You probably would like an update on
our “Out of this World Tour”. Well we
had to cancel several dates due to a recent
conflict. You see we had to come back to
the County to cook breakfast for last
month’s Aroostook Shrine Club meeting,
and then “Drummergate 2016” took place.
Overall I would have to say the breakfast
was a success, but let me tell you, anytime
you get that many of the Silent Generation
together in the kitchen without a woman
to direct them, the “silence” is deafening.
Oh, and for goodness sakes do not try to
sneak Noble Jeremiah Donovan turkey
bacon. I can still hear him hollering, “if
it’s not swine it’s not mine!” Who knew
he had such an affinity for the other white
meat. Hopefully we can get back on tour
soon. Make sure to come out and see us
when you can and remember that you
don’t have to be crazy to hang out with the
Oriental Band… We’ll train you!

Spring has arrived. Those of you
returning from Florida, Welcome back. Be

In February we enjoyed a nice lunch at
Helen’s in Ellsworth. We all had a
wonderful piece of pie.
March we will be at Kosta’s in Brewer.
We decided not to plan anything in April.
In May on the 13th. which will be a Friday,
Yes, “ Friday the 13th.” Think of it as a
lucky day. We will be having lunch at
noon at the High Tide Restaurant in
Brewer. This is located at the end of the
middle bridge in Brewer. Give me a call if
you plan on coming. 989-3664.
Some of us enjoyed a fun time at the
Comedy night held at the Shrine Center.
We also had a good time at the clown’s
Casino night.
Join us sometime for some of these fun
activities.
That is it for this month. Have a good
one and remember,
Be happy and Stay well.

As of this reading we have not yet had
our March meeting, so more on that next
time.
Brenda and Steve Bowden are eagerly
awaiting spring and the fun coming up at
the spring ceremonial. They look forward
to staying at Point Lookout.
The continued transition into our space
at the new building has proceeded well.
Thanks to everyone who has helped with
that, especially Steve Mosley who got us a
costume rack for our new closet and made
sure our costumes and other equipment
were stored in the circus room while our
new closet was being finished.
Very soon during the April school break
yours truly and family are off to Orlando,
FL for some fun in the sun. Really looking
forward to it.
The circus is coming right up at the end
of the month. If you’re not already aboard,
please let us know if you would like to
help with the circus and we’ll get you all
set up.
Have a wonderful l April everybody,
and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
Remember, never hesitate to contact me
with any questions, concerns, news,

Greetings from the Aroostook Shrine
Klowns! Apologies for not having an update in
quite a while, I intend to do my best to make
sure we have an update every month. After a
busy season last year, our winter was fairly
quiet with the exception of some hospital
visits, and the childrens Christmas party at the
Aroostook Shrine Club. We made a few
headlines when we did the hospital visits,

although Santa and Mrs. Clause had to do their
best to keep some of us in line. The Christmas
party was a big hit and the kids had a fun filled
afternoon, with games, Klowns, and of course
a cakewalk. I’m fairly sure each child that
showed up walked away with a cake or two at
least! We’ve taken this winter to spend some
time with each other in the unit, which only
strengthens our bond and truly makes us a very
close family. Disco, MegaByt3, Kickstand,
Ruffles, and CharCole were fortunate enough
to meet the Mandarin as well, it’s just too bad
the Indy’s had to clean up the garage after! We
got together at the bowling alley and had some
pizza too with our better halves and some of
the Klown kids. We also got together and went
to the movies, we behaved for the most part
and didn’t razzle the crowd too bad, although
poor Ruffles was hassled by a few of the
Klowns sitting behind him. We are also
planning on having a few makeup classes to
give some pointers to the new guys in the unit.
If they are painting up like an Auguste, they
should probably bring their wife or girlfriend
with them because we all know who really
does their makeup! For 2016, the boss Klown
is Moochie, for the billionth time, so maybe
he’ll be able to lead us this year with his eyes
closed! Also taking up offices in the unit are
Camo as Captain, MegaByt3 as Lieutenant, Sci
as Treasurer, and CharCole as Secretary. We
are getting amped up for the upcoming season,
circus is around the corner, then we have
ceremonial soon after... and once ceremonial is
done we enter the parade season! We have so
much fun putting a smile on children’s faces
while painting one on ours!
Sincerely,
CharCole, Secretary Klown
The last meeting was held March 1st
at Pat’s Pizza with 37 members present.

June 8th will be our annual lobster feed at
Alan Heath’s in Penobscot.

Past Potentate John Fernald is worried
about Bill Fernald’s relatives arriving
in Somesville early. It must mean he is
in route somewhere. There was a good
turnout from Hancock County Shrine
Club at the Washington County Shrine
Club steak feed. Noble Brad Prout is back
in school for Shrine knowledge. Get well
wishes to Ed Pellon. Rumor has it that
Past Potentate Geddes Simpson and Lady
Carol(e) are putting a hot tub on their
deck. I wonder if they are having senior
moments? I’m trying to find out more
about Alan Fernald and his exercises at the
Y. Noble Jay Fernald has gone back to sea.
Noble Brian Hamor is due back from the
south. Hope Noble Bruce and Lady Lois
Clark are having an excellent winter in
sunny Florida. Remember, Maine hasn’t
been all that cold this winter. Hope we’ll
see you guys this spring. Noble John
Fernald thinks he is going to have a small
garden this spring so he can get to canning
some more pickles.

P.S. Noble Corey Cirard-understand
you won big on the calendar event. Maybe
you should send some of the funds to your
mom and dad so they can get home safely
from Florida.

be anyone with any news. It must be a

To the Nobles of Anah land it sure looks
as though it is going to be an early spring.
NPSC does not hold a March meeting so I
do not have a lot to report to you this
month. The officers and directors did
meet at my home on February 18, with ten
of us present.
This group of Nobles entered into a
discussion about the next Feztival of Trees
and how we may participate. There also
ensued a great deal of discussion about a
fund raiser(s) for this club. We need to
keep in mind that over each of the next
four years we, as a club, are responsible
for keeping our pledge of $2,000 each
year towards the new temple. When we
made the commitment to this pledge we
felt that we could meet it with our
commission from the Circus Ad sales.
However, in this part of Anah land it is
becoming more difficult to gain those
Circus Ads. Therefore the directors feel
that the club needs to be looking at one or
more fund raiser to gain the money that
we need to make this yearly commitment.
Please, if you have an idea for a good
money maker share it with one of the
directors or bring your idea up for
discussion at the next club meeting.
The president reported on and shared a
very nice thank you card from the
Sunshine Club. They thanked NPSC for a
recent donation that we made to help them
in their work.
Tony reported that a purchase/sale
agreement has been signed on the Main
Street building.
Nobles and Ladies, please keep in mind
that our next meeting will take place at the
snow mobile club in Sherman with Rep.
Rick Long as our guest speaker. After
that, in May, we will again meet with the
ladies present, at the East Branch SnoRovers in Medway. The president is
trying to arrange for a guest speaker
representing Patient Air Lift Services
(PALs). This service provides free air
flight to instate and out of state hospitals
for those in need of medical services. The
June meeting will take place in Patten (for
Nobles only) at their snow mobile club.
Bring your umbrellas as there is usually a
dandy of a thunderstorm on that meeting
night. That is all for now, see you at the
April meeting, and remember to keep
Masonry and Shrine Dom in your life.
Ken Hanscom Jr. Reporter
April, and were having a great time at our
annual meeting, I hope. I have to write this
column back in March, so will let you know
next month. At this time we would like to
welcome our new potentate, Bob Turner
and his lovely Lady Bonnie. We wish you
a great year, and if you need us just give
us a call. Lets not forget the circus on April
29, 30, and May 1st. We will again be
selling our novelties, and will ask Nobles
when they want to work. Another date to
remember is June 4th, our golf tournament
at the Piscataquis Golf course in Guilford.
This would be a great time to start looking
for donations of whatever to be given away
as prizes.
Birthday wish’s go to Sandy Bussell,

I got that right as Scott spells it different
every time he tells me. Let us not forget that
great gray hunter from Lee Maine, Warren
Curtis. Rumor has it that he just bagged a
one of a kind. I can’t say anything yet, as
we don’t know if it is LEAGAL!
Anniversary congratulation’s go to Dan
and Suellen Leighton. 27 years they went
to Niagara Falls.
If any of you know something that you
would like to see in the Anahgram, contact
me at 794-6675, 794-2222, or kdh6367@

like to join the unit.
All Blue Lodges will be going this month.
Try to find a candidate, young or old, and
be there when he takes his degrees.
Until next time,
SEE YA!

Greetings Nobles and Ladies. Another
month is here and I’ve missed the last
couple Anahgram’s. There is no excuse
other than I didn’t do it. With that Said.
I have lots of news to report. At our
annual meeting, we voted in a new slate of
officers. Cliff Wells is the new President
and Treasurer, Richard Bowden is the
Vice-president and Secretary, Paul Hazard
remains the Pipe Major, Mike Grant – Pipe
Sergant, Ernie Smith – Pipe Corporal. Tom
Sawyer remains Drum Major, Kraig King
– Drum Sergent and Quartermaster, Tony
Smith – Corporal. I remain the reporter.
The band is diligently practicing for our
first event – St. Patrick’s Day. We intend
to invade Geahagan’s on March 17 at 6 pm.
It is so much fun to see the crowded room
light up when we enter with the pipes and
drums in tune with a military march. Ernie
has penned pipe music to the rock tune “We
Will Rock You”. The drum salute that goes
with it and the pipe music should really
bring the “Irish” out of even the sternest
member of the crowd.
On a separate note, I just returned from
Boston. The site of the first shot of the
Revolutionary War in April 19, 1775 was a
few miles away in Concord at the old North
Bridge. My wife and I stayed at an Inn
within walking distance of said historical
site. The Inn was used as a hospital for that
battle. It was very interesting. Seeing the
bridge and a narrow strip of land preserved
in time made it easy for me to realize the
importance of the founding of our Nation.
Against absolutely impossible odds, our
forefathers refused to give into tyranny and
sacrificed for a better future for us.
Perhaps we should thank them. In any

given election, nearly half of the eligible
voters don’t vote. Our Masonic Brethren
were key to the founding of this nation and
they would be appalled at such horrendous
statistics.
Our Inn was across the street from the
Concord Masonic Hall. I so wanted to get
into a meeting so that I could inquire about
the rich history of that Lodge. This Nation
is founded on Masonic values which are
based upon rich teachings from the Bible.
The Declaration of Independence states that
“all men are created equal”. I seem to recall
something about meeting on the level.
I would like to go on further about the trip
and sites from our Nation’s birth, (Sleepy
Hollow Cemetery is also across from the
Inn for what that is worth), but the hour is
late (due in part to Boston not being able
to afford street signs that are big enough
to read) and I must continue my journey
home.
Until Next time, if anyone would like
piping or drumming lessons, contact me
at [email protected]. Be
Blessed my brothers.

April is here and seems wonderful to
say “good by” to winter. We really have
no complaints as it has been a warmer
than usual one with little snow and only
extremely cold temps for short periods of
time. It certainly will be good to have
warmer weather and green grass again.
Our snowbird friends have reported that it
has been colder than normal in the south
and not the kind of weather they wanted
during their winter months either.
Easter was in March this year and I
neglected to wish everyone a Happy
Easter in the March Anahgram. I hope
that you all had a wonderful Easter with
your families.
Our March meeting was held on the 3rd
at the Addison Town Hall and was the
Annual Divan Visitation night. It was
well attended with over 40 people in
attendance. Dignitaries present included
Potentate Robert Turner; Steve Trimm,
Chief Rabban; Adam Beals, Outer Guard;
PP & Recorder Larry Hersom; PP Ed
Pellon; PP Sonny Crocker; PP Jesse
Thomas; PP Al Gibson; PP Lee Kaufman;
PP Geddes Simpson; PP John Fernald;
Directors Donald Wright, Chief Greeter
and WCSC Reporter Warren Orcutt;
Assistant Chief Greeters Robert Look and
Mike Bailey; Greeter Todd Alley; Joe

Johnathan McClure; Dwayne Smith &
Tony Santiago.
The 2016 Potentate’s Trip is April 2-9
and those attending will be at the Valentine
Imperial Maya when this issue hits the
mail. I know everyone will be having a
great time.
WCSC will sponsor the Carnival in
Machias this summer and chose the week
of August 4th for the event. Watch for
additional details in future Anahgram
articles, in the paper, or on the radio.
Several of the WCSC members spent all
or part of the first week of February in
Island Falls at Vacationland Estates,
including Warren & Velma Orcutt, Mike
and Debi Murphy, Robert & Sandi Look,
and Mike and Lisa Grant. Other longtime friends were also there for week and
have been going for over 25 years now.
PP Tony Bowers joined us several
evenings for dinner, jokes, and just a fun
evening.
The Annual Shrine Circus will be in
Bangor on April 29th to May 1st and it
takes many hands to make this successful.
Sign up and volunteer your time to help
with this worthy event. Remember we all
work for “the Children”.
Screening Clinics will be held in
Machias on May 3rd so be looking for
potential candidates to attend and get
referred for help with their issues.
A Sportsman’s Show is being planned in
Machias at UMM and more information
will be available next month.
Birthday wishes go out to Stacey Cherry,
Ubbie Crowley, Julie Fernald, Bethany
Foss, Ricky Foss, Ralph Fraser, James

Mike & Jolene Doran, Gerry & Linda
Moores, Barry & Jada Hanscom, Larry &
Teresa Nichols, Linden & Andrea Perry,
PP Geddes & Carole Simpson, and
Potentate Robert & Lady Bonnie Turner.
As a reminder, get your new candidates
lined up for the June Ceremonial. Room
reservations must be made through Anah
Housing by contacting Earl Seymour.
Rooms will fill up fast so call to reserve
your room or it may be too late. June is
right around the corner.

As I sit here writing this article on the
3rd of March I’m very glad I’m inside our
house. It’s very cold outside about 11
above and the wind is blowing a gale.
BUT no snow !! Like I told someone
yesterday, Howling wind is easy to shovel
and cold weather doesn’t get you wet. So
from where I’m sitting it looks like a real
nice day outside.
Not much going on in Shrinedome
during the month of February. I heard that
the Clown comedy night was a huge
success. That was in competition with the
High School Basketball Tournaments. I,
for one, love the tournaments. I was a
little disappointed in the TV coverage.
Congratulations to all the teams that made
the top eight.
The month of March brings us the Island
Party. Having been to these Party’s , in the
past, I’m sure it will be a lot of fun. I’m
sure that a lot of coconut bras will be
present. Roger Grindle always wears his.
The Mid Winter meeting will also take
place in Fredericton NB March 17 – 19.
That’s about it for this month. Please
keep in mind the Circus is coming the last
weekend in April, in Bangor and the 1st
weekend in May, in Presque Isle. Both
venues can use all the help they can get.
Be kind to one another and attend your
local Blue Lodge.

February 6 saw Div-It (Duane Young)
and Fou (Martin Perfit) at the Home Depot
Children’s Workshop where they dazed,
stunned, flabbergasted, and even impressed
137 children with their balloon twisting and
sundry other antics. It must be noted that
while demonstrating their talent at no time
did their fingers leave their hands!
Our first ever Comedy Night took place
on Saturday evening February 20 under
the direction of Slapshot (Dale Hatch) and
Scooter (Scott Boucher). Our goal was to
sell 150 tickets but we ended with a paid
attendance of over 375. The attendees
were well fed at the sumptuous spread
prepared and served by Gumpy (Mike
Robshaw), Piggy (Tom Vanchieri), T/C
Trash Can (Bill Taylor), and Pop Fizz
(Troy Devoe). Additional assistance was
provided by Theresa Hatch (Mrs. Slapshot).
Final numbers are not yet available but Red
Sneaker Fund for Burn Research donation
cups on each table raised nine hundred
dollars.
Birthday wishes for April go out to Boss

Hello, again, from the Crown of Maine.
Here are a few things that came from the
Aroostook Shrine Club meeting. First – the
club has had some good discussion recently
regarding finances and has re-engaged
the Finance Committee. It’ll consist of
the President, Vice President, Treasurer,
Building Superintendent and the Unit
Heads who will be tasked with ensuring we
have a practical budget and healthy bottom
line moving forward. Second – there was
some time spent on membership. The
Potentate and his Divan have a membership
challenge in place for any club or unit
that increases their rolls by 4 members at
this June’s ceremonial. They’ll provide
a Delicious Divan Dining experience so
encourage any Master Masons you know
to sign up and attend the Anah/Kora joint
ceremonial in Belfast this June. Lastly but
certainly not least(ly?), everyone’s gearing
up for the “busy season.” The first thing on
tap is circus and everyone’s been working
hard to get things ready for May 5, 6 &
7. We’ve have a Facebook page you can
like, follow and share to get the word out

Hello everyone. Very strange weather
this winter for us in the Bangor area, and
now it seams we are on our way to spring
with the temperatures of late. Makes for
long nights with nothing to do.
As everyone is aware we are getting ready
for the Circus at the end of the month. We
need all the help you can give to help with
novelties.
Our Provost Marshall is getting his plans
together for Elvis night. Right now, he is
planning sometime in June, we will let you
know when he has it finalized.
Also, in June is the Summer Ceremonial
in Northport, we need members for the
parade, that Saturday.
Remember our meetings so you can help
plan for these up coming events, the first
Tuesday of the month, every month unless
otherwise notified.
That does it for now, now onto member
special days.
Birthday wishes being sent to; Nobles
Don Havey, Carl Drew, Jerry Fratini, and

Hello everyone! We hope everyone is
enjoying a true Mainers early mud season.
Thank you to everyone who made it out
on a snowy cold day for our second annual
cribbage tournament. First we would like
to thank Duane Jordan for the use of his
building. We had a great turnout, what a
great afternoon to get some cabin fever
relief. This year we had 52 player, 1st
place was Chance Curtis, 2nd place Roger
Lane,3rd place was Dennis St Peter and
4th place Ronnie Taplin, who donated
back. Thank you! The big 50/50 winner
was Corey Cirard one of unit member who
also donated his winnings back. Thank you
Corey! We would like to thank everyone
that helped and donated food and time for
this event.
With the weather getting warmer we are
looking forward to working on our banners
and trailer, to get ready for the first parade
of the year.
Until next time - get out and enjoy the
warm weather and early trout fishing before
the Maine state bird comes out (the black
fly).

Tri County Shrine Club held their
monthly meeting on the 17th of February
at the Countryside Restaurant in Corinth.
The 44 Nobles and Ladies enjoyed an
excellent Buffet Meal and Libation Hour.
The Libation Hour was ably manned by
Nobles Ron Green and Master of Libation
Scott Folsom. The appetizers alone were
enough for a meal. Countryside really
knows how to put on a meal. The meeting
was called to order by President Arthur
“COOTA” Watson. Invocation was given
by Noble Don “BOBO” Young. After the
Invocation, a moment of silence was held
for two of our recently departed Nobles,
PP Tyler Dunning and John Currier. The
President led the salute to the Flag of Our
Country. After the meal, President Watson
introduced the head table. Seated at the
head table were VP Rich Johnson and
Lady Cynthia, Secretary Dave Mosley,
Master of Libation Scott Folsom and Lady
Jeanie, President Arthur Watson and Lady
Phyllis and Illustrious Sir Potentate Robert
Turner and his lovely Lady Bonnie. Unit
Heads in attendance were Scott Folsom of

Today 4 guys showed up to make the
move from our darkroom on Main Street
to Broadway. Thanks to Ed, Chet, and
Merland the task was quickly finished.
We have a little more sorting to do and
may liquidate some more baggage. My
back was hurting so the 3 did most of the
lugging. That Ed is a bear. The cabinet
that Merland made came out nice. The
countertop donated by Bangor Wholesale
Laminates looks mighty fine too.
We then adjourned to Dysarts for lunch.
Noting that we had a quorum we decided
to have one of our 4 required meetings.
It was decided we need a new filing cabinet
as the other one was tired. Sec/Treasurer
Clark offered to take care of that. We also
decided to sell the unit laptop as no one was
using. It has some age and we think it is
running XP. If anyone is interested contact
me. We discussed the June ceremonial
and it looks like a fine turnout (4 photo
shooters) will be there.
Secretary Clark collected dues and we
have keys coming for the room. With
paid up dues comes a key to the room.
We received a donation from Aroostook
County Shrine Club. (Thanks Boomer)
for a poster we did of the divan. We also
previously received a donation from Kora
for work we did at winter ceremonial. I
can say it was a nice donation. Secretary
Clark took note of the proceedings and
we adjourned. Dennis was somewhere in
Canada looking for some lobsters.

I trust that everyone got through April
Fools day without being made a fool. I
don’t worry about it so much as I’m always
being accused of being one already.
This winter is finally winding down. What
there was of it. Those of us who stuck it out
here instead of running to a warmer climate
(we know who you are),were blessed with
a mild one. Only had the snowblower out
twice. It may last another 35 years at this
rate. Not complaining. Feel bad for the
winter lovers, but in all honesty, I don’t
feel all that bad.
The units monthly meeting for February
was held at Pat’s Pizza in Holden. 1/2 of
the unit attended which is about normal for
this time of year. Noble Roger Grindle, out
divan rep, was in attendance and announced
his up coming retirement. Congratulations
to him! Plans and details for our upcoming
May 14 th Super Supper were discussed.
Get your ticket, if you haven’t already, and
get ready to enjoy a nice evening. At our
new Shrine Center. Can’t wait! Our leader
passed around a list of member information
so that we could correct any mistakes. He
allowed that some members might want to
change their ladies names? Wonder who
that could be?
After six weeks of persistent urging so
by my wife(it would have been quieter
around here had I listened earlier), I made
my way to the hospital to have a persistent
cough checked out. After filling out papers
and listing Fernalds as the place to call
in an emergency, I was ushered in. I was
poked, prodded, blood let, iv’d with a
large bag which I’m guessing was not gin
and tonic, pilled and vaporized. After four
hours she announced that I had a case of
cute bronchitis. I’d not heard of that one
and realized that because my ears were
blocked that she was saying that I was cute
and that I had bronchitis. Lorraine says she
said ‘acute bronchitis’, but at my age I like
what I heard better. Stopped and got more
meds on the way home. So $135 later, I’m
on the mend except for the $135. That’s
history! But like someone said once, he’d
never seen a u-haul behind a hearse. Got
some hi tech cough syrup at $8 a teaspoon.
10 pages of do’s and don’t later I fill up the
teaspoon. Reading the label I see where it
says to take by MOUTH every 12 hours.
Really? I mean it’s not like I’ve got an
earache or gas. What else would I do with
it. Guess that’s to protect them from some
fools lawyer.
This month Noble Sped retires from the
military. He also celebrates his birthday. We
thank him for his service and wish him a
happy day!

Anah Band is still working on brand
new material for the Summer Ceremonial.
Spring is here and we will be ready for all
the Anah Band has lined up. We like to
think of Summer and it gets us all fired up
and ready. With Ceremonial comes more
parades, which is the lifeblood of this
band. We have our list of music that we
will always enjoy but it’s nice to add some
new stuff to play. Hopefully our adoring
fans can make some suggestions of some
music they would like us to play.
We have added a new sax player, he is a
Master Mason and will soon be taking the
degree of a Shriner this summer. Matt
should round out our brass sound that we
have been perfecting.

Now to the trivia question of the month.
Last month’s question was: What is the
oldest major soda created in the United
States; and when and by whom was fizzy
drinks originally marketed?
Answer:
The idea of marketing fizzy drinks was
originated by a German jeweler named
Jacob Schweppe in 1794. Schweppe’s
Soda Water was originally promoted as
treatment for “Stone of the Bladder.” The
Sometimes the best part of my job is that my chair swivels. – Anonymous
April 2016
oldest soda in the United States is Dr.
Pepper invented in 1885. This month’s
question is: Keeping the month of April
and the circus in mind. Who is the patron
saint of circus workers?
Where is Maine? A number of years
ago (a big number) John T. and I were
traveling across the state of Georgia.
(Georgians call it “The Great State”).
Anyway, as we entered the town of
Americus it was time to stop for gas. So
John T. pulled into a small well kept
(1930’s looking) gas station. As we got
out of the car an elderly black gentleman
approached and said “good day to y”all.”
“Filler-up” John T. said. While doing so
the kindly old gentleman asked John T.,
“where y”all from.” “Montezuma”, John
T. replied. “I knows where that is, just up
the road a piece from Andersonville” he
said. “That’s right” John T. replied. The
affable old man then turned to me and
asked, “where’s y’all from.” “Maine” I
replied. “main, the main part of what”, he
asked? “No, No, the State of Maine” I
answered. “Well, I‘s heards of it but I’s
don’ts know where it is.”
The time has come to close the “Blotter”
for this month and to remember “IT’S
ALL ABOUT THE KIDS.”
The next Keystone meeting is April
26th.

Circus ads have been sent in and the
Circus is almost here. Many volunteers
are needed to put on the Circus. If you can
help, please contact Noble Dennis Bryant

you in the right direction.
I had a chance to tour our new Shrine

haven’t had a chance to see it, plan to stop
in and they will show you around. It is an
awesome facility.

Greetings Nobles and Ladies. As I write
this, I’m in hopes everyone is experiencing
the joys of spring: the longer days, the
rising temperatures and the shedding of
winter clothing!
Our March meeting was held at the
Shrine Hall. The meeting started with a
recap of the Wheeler’s Supper. Under old
business we discussed the Brick Paver
applications that still need to be submitted,
Gun Raffle tickets which continue to be
available, Anah dues for Ceremonial, and
the sale of Second Section 2016 Calendars.
And last, although important, Second
Section dues. Please take advantage of
the raffle opportunities by purchasing a
gun raffle ticket or a calendar.
In upcoming events, we discussed the
June Ceremonial being held in Northport/
Belfast. The format will be a very nice
change and we are all looking forward to
the events. Housing is full and Second
Section has secured 5 rooms at the Yankee
Clipper in Belfast. We also discussed the
Waterfront Concert Series, which will be
underway in Bangor starting June 4th.
The Second Section works as parking
attendants for this event and we will need
help with making sure we have sufficient
coverage to make these events successful.
There will be more to come. We also
discussed the Noble of the Year Party,
scheduled for October 1, 2016. Along
those lines please be thinking about
nominations. Also a topic of discussion
was the Anah Shrine Circus which will be
held in Bangor on April 29, 30 & May 1st
and in Presque Isle on May 5, 6, & 7th.
The
Second
Section’s
primary
responsibility at the Circus is to sell
programs outside and inside; however
there are many other exciting ways folks
can help make this a premier event and if
there is interest, please just ask. We need
each of you.
During the course of the meeting,
timelines for the SDA were discussed. We
will be departing on Thursday, April 14th
and returning Saturday, April 16th. Setup
stunts will be at Melha Shriners on
Thursday from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Stunt
preview will be Friday 8:00 am to 8:30 am
with the Stunt competition immediately
following on Friday from 8:30 am to
11:30 am. The Springfield Hospital Tour
is Saturday 9:00 am to 2:30 pm with 1 -2
hour timeslots. Please be mindful of
associated costs which will include
competition of $50.00 per Noble and
109.00 per night for the hotel.
Under those remembered, our thoughts
are with Harry Estes II and those close to
him as he passed away on February 26,
2016.

Can you hear that? Listen hard, it’s
getting closer and closer! Thump thump,
thump thump….. that’s the sound that the
go-kart unit members are getting excited
to make, as they go up and over the ramp
truck. It is almost time to pull the karts
out of storage and get them ready for the
task at hand.
We would like to welcome our new
Divan Rep, Adam Beals to our family.
With his support, we know we are going
to have a great summer and accomplish
many things for the kids in need. We were
happy to hear that Pepsi has joined the
Shiner forces!
Not only is our unit one the most
entertaining acts during the parades, but if
you get a chance on a weekend night,
please check out Dave Eaton and his band!
We were told that he has more moves than
Patrick Swayze, in “Dirty Dancing”. His
riding time in his Kart has really adapted
his dancing moves to cause thrills and
chills!
A couple of important dates to keep in
mind;
May 21st - Hospital Membership Night
Event
June 10 - 12, 22 - 24 - We will be at
Sams Club in Bangor, selling raffle tickets
As always we are looking for new
members. If you are person that likes
having fun, is a little crazy and enjoys
being around fast paced people - we are
the unit for you! Best wishes from the gokarts and like always, keep it between the
rails!

as when he stoops to
