The Circus is Coming...The Circus is Coming...
Those words were heard or read frequently in recent months in the various media as the 50th Anah Shrine Circus was approaching. While the approaching Circus was being mentioned Circus Chairman Noble Charlie Grindle and his assistants, Denny Hill, and
Dale Reynolds, Bangor, and George Watson, Presque Isle plus many more assistants were busily planning for and ordering novelties,
and materials used in making Cotton Candy and Sno-Cones. They also had the responsibility for lining up crews to work the many
departments such as Snow Cones, Cotton Candy, assembling and selling novelties, ushering, selling program books. Shrine clubs were
responsible for selling advertising in the program book in the winter just past and selling advance tickets. Units also stepped forward
to sell the program books at Circus time. Anah’s Ladies as usual played an extremely important part in the Circus in many departments
keeping track of the ticket sales and the vendors and their sales. Some Units volunteered to provide lunches for the people who signed
up to work from show to show.
When it was time for the shows to begin the band began to play those distinctive Circus tunes and the lights came up in the auditorium.
When the lights came up Ringmaster Charlie was there ready to introduce the acts as he has done for somewhere between 40 and 50
years. Charlie started out as an act along with his wife, and somewhere in the vague distant past took on the challenge of being the
Ringmaster.
The photo at left shows Potentate

Moochie, Boss Clown of the Aroostook Clown group. They are being
given a “time out”. in jail. Could
they have been having a little too
much fun? Thanks to First Lady
Peggy for the photo.

Greetings to all,
April has passed like a flash of light and I
have completed a fourth of my year as Potentate. The month was filled with many
visits to units and clubs.
The Music City Tour trip that we enjoyed with 52 members and guests will
hold lasting memories of events and new
friendships that occurred. In Peggy’s column she touched on some of the places we
visited, New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville. We were all treated to some of the
southern hospitality that we read about in
travel magazines, mostly good. In New
Orleans we were able to not only to soak
up the night life of Bourbon Street, but the
tour of the city that was under water and
has come back to life again will make a
lasting memory to me. When we reached
Memphis we were surprised to learn that
that night there would be a motorcycle
show on Beale Street. There were hundreds of motorcycles of every description,
from scooters to full dress, and more. We
met the Hill Billy Shrine Club of Memphis selling raffle tickets on a full dress
tricycle (motorcycle), and I believe some
of the group bought chances on the tricycle. The next day we visited Graceland,
the palatial home of Elvis and a tour of
Memphis with a local musician. Next was
Nashville, “Music Capital of the World”
staying at the Gaylord Opryland Resort
next door to the Grand Old Opry, which
we all attended on Friday night. We were
entertained by Vince Gill, Charlie Pride,
Darius Rucker and a host of other entertainers. We then attended a back stage tour
of the Opry, where we met the singers and
were able to be on the stage floor of the
Opry.
We are now back to the “normal” life in
Anah, with the Circus opening and the duties of my office. I want to thank all the
committee members of both the Bangor
and Presque Isle Circuses, and all the Nobles, wives and friends who make the Circus a huge success. Attendance was down
F. Lee Kaufman
Potentate
a bit, due in part to the great weather on
both weekends.
By the time you receive this edition we
will have had our Island Party which I
am sure will be a great time. The hospital
clinics will have taken place and hopefully we will be able to help many children.
Newport will be the host of the June Summer Ceremonial and the people in that
area are anticipating a large turnout of
Shriners for the weekend. The complete
list of events are in this issue, so please try
to find as many candidates as possible and
make our number of members increase.
I would like to have a class of 100 new
members.
In closing , please keep in your thoughts
the loss of our Chief Rabban Thomas
Clukey and other Nobles who have passed
on to that Lodge in heaven.
Yours in tlhe faith.

A Note from
First Lady
Peggy
America’s Music Cities Tour is now fond
memories for fifty-four Nobles and Ladies. The New Orleans School of Cooking was a big hit with everyone. We had
our own Marjorie Smith as one of the
chefs for the evening. The pralines were
delicious, thanks to Marjorie.
One of my favorite events was visiting
the historic RCA Studio B. This is where
Elvis Presley once recorded some of his
classic hits. Believe it or not, I even got
to play the same piano that Elvis once
played! Beale and Bourbon Streets were
alive with energetic music to entertain us.
Memphis and Nashville were exciting to
tour and the cuisine was wonderful. We
all returned to Maine with tired feet, full
stomachs, and many memories to cherish.
Potentate Lee and I attended both the
Bangor and Presque Isle Circus. It is nice
to see Nobles and their Ladies volunteering many hours to help make this event
successful. Thank you for all that each of
you do for Anah and the patients!
The June Ceremonial is just around the
corner. Newport is gearing up for a good
crowd and they are excited to have all of
Anah there. The Ladies Luncheon is at
St. Martin’s Church in Palmyra. There
will be a social time at 11:00 followed by
lunch at 11:30. This is located approximately four miles from the Newport WalMart. Please remember to bring to the
luncheon, if you wish, an item for patients
at either Boston Burns or Springfield Or-

Tri-County Shrine Club held their monthly meeting on the 17th of April at the Piscataquis Valley Fairgrounds. After a lively
Libation Hour under the direction of Watson, Folsom and Folsom, the meeting was
called to order by President Doug Dulac,
who finally is back from Florida. We
missed his leadership and direction. Flag
Salute was led by President Dulac, the Invocation was given by BoBo, aka Donald
Young.
The Nobles and guests were treated to
Don Merrill’s famous pork suppah. A special guest for the evening was Nathan
Knight, a Master Mason who will be joining Anah Shrine in June. Also joining us
for the evening was Noble Bob Marin
from the Second Section, who has served
Tri-County before with his expertise in
dining. Ambassadors in attendance were
T-Bob Buckland and Seth Libby. Aides
Emeritus in attendance was Ron Green
and his father, Don Mitchell. Unit Heads
gracing us with their presence were Bob
Hodgkins of the Photo Unit, Scott Folsom
of the 4X4s and Arthur Herbest of the Flag
Unit. Representing the Directors Staff was
Dan Costain. In attendance from the Di-
van was our own Outer Guard, Doug Dulac. Past Potentate Bud Prouty was in attendance also.
We had a moment of silence for Nobles
Roger Chesley and Harold Condon whose
wives recently passed away. Secretary’s
and Treasurer’s report were read and accepted, with one correction on the Secretary’s report.
June Ceremonial is the 4th weekend in
June, not the 3rd weekend. 50-50 raffle
was won by Dave Breau again. Speaker
for the evening was on The Pine Grove
Program. They provide free outdoor experiences for Veterans and Other American
Heroes. The services that they provide are
exceptional and should be experienced.
All Veterans should look into this great
program.
President Dulac thanked Don Merrill
and his kitchen crew for the excellent
meal they provided for Tri- County.
June Ceremonial is just around the corner, have you any candidates ready?
No further business, meeting was closed
by President Dulac. ALWAYS WORK ON
MEMBERSHIP, FOR BOTH THE
SHRINE AND YOUR LOCAL BLUE
LODGE.

First, I want to send sincere condolences
to Lady Gail and the Clukey family. We
have truly lost a very good man way too
early!!

Super Supper on May 11th. It was a great
evening of friendship, dancing, winning,
and great food. Speaking of the food…
thanks to the Clowns for the great meal!!
If you were unable to attend this event (for
some strange reason), next year will be
here before you know it (so, reserve your
ticket now!)!!
Our Unit starts our “2013 Parade Season” on June 7th in Orono at the Special
Olympics Parade. This is always a very
enjoyable event!

month!! Hope everyone enjoys each
day…remember to live each one as if it
were your last!! Hope to see you at the
next parade!!
PUT YUR TOP DOWN…LET’S GO!!!

We have been extremely busy since the
last Anahgram and based on the number of event requests that keep coming
in, it looks like that trend will continue
throughout the spring and summer.
An unusually large number of kids participated in the April 6 Home Depot Children’s Workshop and lucky for them a
large contingent of clowns was on hand
to entertain, namely: Piggy, Crash, DivIt, Fou, Fuz (making his first HD appearance), Gumpy, Patches, and Slapshot.
Two Masonic Bikes for Books award
ceremonies were held on April 12 with
Div-It appearing at the Howard Lodge
event at Leroy Smith School in Winterport and Piggy and Fou appearing at the
Lynde Lodge event at Hermon Elementary School. Happy kids with new bikes
in both locations!
On April 19 at our monthly meeting Theodore Harris, a new apprentice, began his
clown career. Welcome Ted E. B.! He
then jumped right in and did both the Bangor and Presque Isle circuses as a Hobo
clown.
The customers at Will’s IGA in Dover certainly felt appreciated on April 20 when
Fou, Fuz, Pooch, and Scooter appeared at
Customer Appreciation Day. That same
day, Ty-Dy and Flip-Flop made our annual pre-circus visit to Masonic Family
Night at Marine Lodge in Deer Isle where
we visited with wonderful friends old and
new. We even got invited to the annual
prom held at a local residential care facility. Ten clowns accepted the invitation of
Kora Potentate Everett Kaherl and participated in the Kora Circus at the Augusta
Civic Center. Bo-Bo, Spiffy, TC Trashcan,
Sweet-P, Div-It, Gizmo, Coota, Sluggah,
Busta, and Piggy reported that they had a
great time with Boss Klown Rob (Robo)
Farrington and Rich (Kracker) Nadeau
and fellow Kora clowns. It’s great to see
both clown units working together.
April 23 was a proud night for N. Dale
(Slaphot) Hatch who serving as Worshipful Master for the evening’s work raised
his son, Justin, as a Master Mason with
the assistance of our clown degree team
at Mystic Lodge in Hampden. Everyone
on the team did an admirable job. We are
all proud to be active and engaged Masons
as well as Shriners and Clowns. Thanks
to the Officers and Brethren of Mystic as
well for their warm hospitality and great
meal.
Nicole of Channel 7 news spent three
hours at the Shrine Center on April 24 doing a pre-circus interview with TC Trash-
can, Fou, and Charlie (Chuckles) Grindle.
While TC and Fou applied greasepaint, all
three were interviewed regarding the purpose of the Shrine, types of clowns, and
what brought them into clowning. Ever
persuasive Chuckles talked Nicole into
being made-up as a clown complete with
nose and wig. She made a much cuter
clown than the other three and enjoyed her
new persona a great deal as well. Bo-Bo,
ever the media darling, made BDN front
page news the Monday after the Bangor
Circus as the result of his interview with
them.
The 50th Anniversary Circus and last one
at Bangor Auditorium was lots of fun.
At the Saturday afternoon performance I
counted an impressive 45 clowns in the
ring. Poor Babycakes learned a rather
pointed, yet valuable lesson about performing bears and their circus trainers!
We were pleased to be joined by several
of our Aroostook County Klown Brethren
as well as Emeritus clowns Hammer, Boxcar, Jingles, Yah-Hoo and Honorary clown
Ray (Crusty) Alley in his clown debut.
On May 27 after a long Circus day, Spiffy,
Coota, Bo-Bo, and Div-It were proud to
take part in the American Cancer Society
Relay for Life at Eastern Maine Community College. Great work for a very good
cause.
The County Klowns and their spouses
were wonderful hosts as usual when fourteen of us made the trip North for the
Presque Isle Circus. Chopstix, Coota,
Pooch, Piggy, Jasper, Flip-Flop, Babycakes, Papi, Yah-Hoo, Bo-Bo, Petals, Busta, Jiggs/Ringo, and Ted E. B. had a great
weekend in the County. Many thanks to
Clown Ladies Brenda, Phyllis, and Janice for making sure we got fed on Friday night. Jasper turned the big 5-0 and
shared his cake with all of us on Friday
night. Happy birthday to Smoochie (betContinued on page 10

who attended Home Depot Children’s
Workshop. That same day, Spiffy and
Gizmo appeared at the Sebasticook Valley
Trade Show.

For those who are not on my email list,
just wanted to let you know that Barbara
Johnson had a health scare in April and
ended up in the hospital in Portland, ME.
At the time I write this (May 1st), she is
doing much better and is in a rehab center
in the Portland area, near her daughter and
other family members. She will hopefully
be there only for a short time and Donnie is
staying with his daughter with trips to Machias to take care of things there. It sounds
like Donnie is getting a little spoiled (which
he deserves) and he is very grateful to have
the support of extended family at this time.
He also wants to thank those who have
reached out to him from our Kamper club.
By the time this is printed, we have already had our May outing at Narrows Too
in Trenton. Hopefully a great time was had
by all. Our weekend was initially denied
due to a conflict of dates with the Potentate’s “Island Party” on May 18th. However, we did not schedule any activities after 3:00 at the campground on that Saturday
so we would not be in conflict with that
official Shrine activity. Our Potentate graciously agreed to that compromise for
which we are very grateful.
Our dates in September were also denied
due to a conflict with the Field Day in Ellsworth on September 14th. Our new date is
September 6-8. The price is $39 plus tax,
$36 plus tax for Thursday night if you want
to arrive early. They will set aside 20 sites
through July 15th, so make your reservations before then. The number is the same,
207-876-2731. Tell Matt or Jamie you are
with the Anah Kampers.
Remember the Blueberry Festival in Machias on August 16-18. They have a website if you want to purchase tickets to the
play or if you just want to check out what
activities are being offered during the Festival. The website is www.machiasblueThere’s only one trouble with resisting temptation – it may never come again.

No words can express the sorrow and
the heavy hearts that was felt when we received the news that Chief Rabban Noble
Tom Clukey had passed on. Tom was a
perfect example of what a Shriner is and
he will certainly be missed by the Divan
members, his wife Gail and family, and
many, many more. Our condolences to
the family.
June is here and this is Ceremonial
Month. The Ceremonial is scheduled for
June 21 & 22 in Newport and hopefully
we will have good weather for the parade.
The Washington County Shrine Club and
Mini-Car Unit will be doing the lobster
feed, so you know it will be a good feed.
The June meeting is a joint meeting with
the Schoodic Shrine Club and will be held
at the Stuart Greene Legion in Lubec on
June 19th.
Donnie Wright is back home and recovering from his heart surgery and bout with
pneumonia. He has had a rough three
months but things are certainly looking up
now. It was wonderful seeing him sit in
his chair at home again. Keep up the good
work Donnie and you will be attending a
WCSC meeting before you know it. You
and Carolyn have been missed over the
past few months.
The Annual Shrine Circus is now behind
us and hopefully both the Bangor and Presque Isle Circuses did well. The May
Screening Clinics are also behind us and
referrals made to help children in need of
treatment.
The Potentate’s Trip to the southern
states is also a thing of the past and we
watched their travels via Facebook posts.
Looked like fun was being had by all and
memories that will last forever.
The Potentate’s Island Party was held on
May 18th at the Shrine Center and reports
are that it was a great time. I understand
that two of the Shriner ladies from Washington County Shrine Club did the decorating for the event.
The Imperial Session will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana on July 1-4. The coach
for the “Love of the Children Tour”, a
travelling billboard promoting Shriner’s
Hospitals, Daughters of the Nile Foundation, the International Shrine, and Daughters of the Nile, will be on display at this
session.
John McClure, First Vice President,
opened the May meeting. Attending the
meeting at the Blue Bird Restaurant in
Machias were: 1st Ceremonial Master
Brad Prout; David Weaver from the Director’s Staff; Todd Alley, Captain and Brian
Strout, 2nd Lt of the Mini- Car Unit; Chief
Greeter Warren Orcutt Sr.; Assistant Chief
Greeters Mike Bailey; and Imperial Photographer Richard Kilton.
Brad Prout was the guest speaker and discussed membership. All members are encouraged to bring a new Noble with them
to meetings.
Happy Birthday wishes for June go out
to Marilyn Bagley, Anita DeMeyer, Judy
Farnsworth, Julian White, Joyce Tarbell,
Karlene Mehan Luxor, Gayle Sprague,
Steven Fernald, Susan Chandler, and Eldon Hayward.
Anniversary bells rang out in June for
Past Potentates Donald & Bert Maxim,
Albert & Barbara Gibson, Alward & Karlene Mehan Luxor and Eldon and Carolyn
Hayward, Elliot & Joyce Tarbell, James &
Joni Cox, and Dick & Linda Mahan.
We hope that our Club President BJ
Cherry had a wonderful trip to Hawaii.
Remember, keep yourselves safe with
whatever recreational activities you embark on this summer. Have a wonderful 4th of July Holiday with family and
friends.

Shriners Hospitals for Children® received over $1.7 million from the Daughters of the Nile Foundation, the Canadian Foundation and the Louis Fredrick
Meyer trust in early 2013, representing
contributions and earnings for the 2012
fiscal year. This amount sets a record high
distribution of funds from the Daughters
of the Nile. Since the first contribution to
Shriners Hospitals for Children® in 1924,
members of Daughters of the Nile have
given nearly $52 million for the care and
support of children.
A gold plaque celebrating the support of Daughters of the Nile generosity
will be placed at Shriners Hospitals for
Children®-Lexington, in October 2013,
when the Supreme Queen makes her official visit to this city. Supreme Queen Suzie Schumacher recently returned from a
tour of all of the hospitals across America.
She remarked, “So many miracles happen
at Shriners Hospitals for Children®. It is
an honor to be a part of this wonderful philanthropy.”
Queen Teresa of Ankh #160 accompanied by PQ Faye Ward recently traveled to Washington County to attend the
Downeast Daughters Club “For the Children” fair. The members of Ankh #160
live over the many miles of eastern Maine.
Traveling in order to achieve our goals
shows the dedication our members have
in supporting the Daughters of the Nile
Foundation and the Shriners Hospitals for
Children.
The Downeast Daughters Club thanks
JIGGS, Anah Clown, for his continued
support to the Club and Washington County events. The lucky winner of the picnic
table is Harry Brown and lucky winner of
the gift tree is Shirley McDonald, both are
from the Machias Area.

THE ANAHGRAM
Another Shrine Circus has come and gone,
and what a great 50th Anniversary Show it was
both in Bangor and Presque Isle. The Bangor
crew as well as the “County” folks, outdid
themselves as usual, organizing, manning the
concessions, novelties and feeding the Circus
workers.
One significant void in the Aroostook weekend was our dear friend and Chief Rabban,
Tom Clukey. He will be greatly missed . . .
such a great Shriner and wonderful person.
Our thoughts are with Gail and her family.
Our next big event will be the June Ceremonial coming up within the month. There seems
to be a great deal of interest this year by Masons to become a Shriner. I have had numerous
inquiries concerning the process of membership. If you are a mentor of a candidate, make
sure you keep him and his lady informed of all
the exciting events that will be taking place in
Newport that weekend, and include them in
your plans.
Units and Shrine Clubs, please make sure
you send in agendas for your yearly scheduled
events, parades, parties, and other functions.
All events need to be approved by the Potentate in order to eliminate any conflict with official Anah functions. Nothing should be scheduled that would take attendance away from any
official Temple activity.
I hope many of you are making plans to attend
the Northeast Shrine Association Field Days in
Cornwall, Ontario. Many enjoyable events are
being planned and it is sure to be a great time.
A reminder, because we will be crossing the
border into another country, passports are required. If yours has not been renewed, or if
you do not have a passport, you should obtain
it as soon as possible, as it sometimes takes a
while to process it. Applications for passports
can be obtained at any U.S. Post Office or AAA
offices.
Also, if any of you are planning to take
“Fido” along for the trip, current shots and vaccinations are mandatory to go into Canada, and
you will need to take proof of your pet’s registration and all shots . . . Rabies, distemper,etc.
I hope many of you are already thinking ahead
to Anah’s HOLIDAY FESTIVAL OF TREES
which will be held the third week of November. Chairman Don Gordon is hoping many of
your companies or businesses and also Shrine
Units and Clubs will sponsor a tree. We are
aiming for sixty (60) trees this year. Also, if
any of you have animated outdoor Christmas
displays that you would be willing to lend us
for that week to be set up indoors at our festival, please contact the Recorder’s office.
Let’s all support Potentate Lee and Lady
Peggy’s special Ceremonial weekend. Look
forward to seeing you in Newport.

committee chairs for a meeting in August.

Hello everyone, finally we are seeing the
sun and the temperature is rising to a very
agreeable warmth.
The Circuses are over, Bangor was a great
success. We had a small group doing the
loading and unloading at the Shrine Center and Auditorium, but we got it done.
Thank you for your hard work. I guess
Noble Gordon Smith was worked to the
max by twins Dylan and Ethan; he was
busy keeping up with them. I think the
plan was to wear them out but it backfired.
Thank you boys. We had a few more there
to work with us during the Circus shows.
All of you there working. . . thank you for
your time.
Everyone ate well during the weekend,
the food was great. Thank you to the Shriners and Ladies that prepared the food and
served all of us. Let’s not forget a thank
you to the ones that did the cleanup either.
Great job to all of you, you and the food
are greatly appreciated. The Honor Guard
presenting the Colors looked great, way to
go guys, thank you!
A reminder for you, the Special Olympics will be Friday, June 7, at the UMO
campus as usual, and the June Ceremonial parade is Saturday, June 22, in Newport, with at 2 o’clock step off. We need
all our members to be there, I hope to
see all of you there. A map of the parade
route is in the May Anahgram, first page,
doesn’t look too bad. More information
on upcoming functions is discussed at our
monthly meetings, so please be there. Reminders cards are sent to you letting you
know what the main topic is for the meeting. See you there.
A few of you are adding another candle
to your cake, Lady Jer-Lyn Shoro, Noble
Grayson Wentworth, Noble Kenneth Perkins, and Noble James Hamilton. Happy
Birthday to all of you and many more to
come.
Anniversary congratulations Noble Harry
and Lady Judith Pratt, Noble Kenneth and
Lady Nancy Perkins, and Noble Raymond
and Lady Marion Campbell.
That’s all for this month, so until next
time, stay safe.
Noble Ken Hanscomb, Reporter
It is with great sadness to learn of the
passing of our Chief Rabban, Tom Clukey.
Cancer, what else can I say. We would like
to offer our condolences to Gail and family.
Here it is, June, time to get those trucks
going. June 7th we will be in Orono for
Special Olympics. Always a great time
and the Olympians are glad to see us. On
Saturday, June 15th we will be in Machias
for their 250th Anniversary.
We hope to see you all at Newport, the
weekend of the 22nd, for the Ceremonial.
With the Ceremonial coming right up, if
you know of a candidate that might like
to join a unit, be sure and ask them. Also
if anyone would like to join the 4x4s we
meet the first Monday of the month at the
Shrine Center, at 7:00. We would love to
see some new members.
Birthday wishes this month go to Paula Hanson, Alton Shedd, and Paul Scott.
Anniversaries this month are celebrated
by Neil and Paula Hanson, Charles and
Vikki Ryder and Dale and his young wife,
Joanie.
How long has it been since you attended
your Blue Lodge? What a great chance to
renew old friendships, and maybe makes
some new ones!
Until next time, SEE YA!
A funny thing happened on the way to the
forum. Well it wasn’t really that amusing,
‘cause on the way to Italy I missed two
Anahgram articles. This as many other
unit reporters are finding is a problem for
snowbirds.
I did come home to find that the Wheelers
made an excellent showing at the cotton
candy factory during the Shrine Circus.
We Wheelers are now preparing for another parade season, which includes the
June Ceremonial in Newport.
Having missed a few reporting’s undoubtedly has left many avid readers not
knowing when their birthdays or anniversaries were. Let me now remind them.
In April, Todd and Lisa Cotier should
have celebrated their Anniversary. Likewise, Nancy Wood, Antionette Calder
and Sandy Heath probably had a Birthday
party, but not necessarily together.
In May Dan and Sherri Holcomb, I’m
sure missed their Anniversary because of
my negligence. Claire Kennedy celebrated her Birthday because Walter reminded
her. I hope someone else tipped off Todd
Cotier and Tom Bouchard about theirs.
Now these lucky Nobles and Ladies
will certainly not miss their special days.
Dean and Kathy Hoke, David and Christy
Appleby and Tony and Kim Smith will all
celebrate June Anniversaries. June Birthdays will be celebrated by Kathy Hoke,
Carla McLean, Lisa Cotier and Dan Holcomb.
A certain man reports that his wife does bird imitations – she watches him like a hawk.

Greetings Nobles and Ladies!
The weather is wonderful and your Highlanders are hitting stride on another busy
parade season. By the time you read this,
we will have performed for the Husson
University graduation, the Special Olympics, the College of the Atlantic graduation and a parade in Machias on the 15th
of June. July isn’t going to be as busy, but
we will perform for several special highprofile events that we enjoy.
In addition to our scheduled band activities, elements of the Highlanders are
scheduled to assist in the services of some
departed Brethren. I’m scheduled to assist
in the services of Ambassador/Governor
and Brother Reed in Ft. Fairfield and other
Highlanders are making arrangements for
Brother Tom Clukey.
Brother Reed, became Governor of Maine
in 1959, at the age of 38, after Governor
Clawson died in office. Reed, a Ft. Fairfield native, was president of the Maine
senate at the time and hence first in line
to succeed the governor. According to the
Grand Historian of the Grand Lodge of
Maine, Brother Reed was the last Maine
governor who was a Mason. Furthermore,
Mathew Dunlap, Center, was a recent spseaker at the Tri-County Sshrine Club. He
is flanked by Potentate Lee and Dan Costain, VP of the club. Photo by Noble Bob
Hodgkins of the Anah Photo Unit.
he was the last governor from Northern
Maine. He was succeeded by Ken Curtis
in 1967.
Brother Tom Clukey, was called home
before those who knew him were ready to
let him go. Many of us had known Tom
from his auto parts business in the County
before he was appointed Outer Guard. He

was a hardworking, reputable businessman, who not only paid his own way, but
he gave generously of himself to help people that he didn’t even know.
It angers me when I see how much Americans worship people of celebrity status.
America (media and people) morn when a
celebrity drug addict or pervert’s days are
cut short due to their self-indulgent life
style. The real celebrities of America are
quality people like Tom Clukey. Tom was
a job creator, he paid his way and he was
selfless in the time he gave to help children that were perfect strangers. His story
epitomizes what made America great.
There are hundreds of fellow Brothers just
like Tom in Maine who worked hard, paid
their own way , and tirelessly donated
their time to the Shrine in order to help
children in need. Other than immediate
family and friends, their lives are little
more than an asterisk in the pages of time.
I know some Brothers who in their darkest days, when they are fighting for every
breath, are still an inspiration of hope to
others. I have seen Brothers who in like
situation are able to give thanks and say,
“I’m truly blessed to be here.”
Most of us complain bitterly if we get
stuck behind someone going just five
mph below the speed limit. I know I’m
guilty of it. Seldom do any of us give
proper credit and thanks. I for one will
give credit to all of the unsung heroes like
Tom Clukey, Marvin Tarbox, and others
who have worked hard, paid their dues,
and give tirelessly to the Shrine (and other
community charities). People like them
are the ones who deserve our respect,
praise and thanks.

L. O. “Skip” House IV
Just a little news for the month of May.
Haven’t had our monthly meeting yet,
so will highlight on that next month. Just
a reminder - make sure you have sent
your information back to secretary Joe
Marshall at 667-2544 or e-mail [email protected]. The grand prize winner
of the fuel raffle was Bruce Cameron of
Trenton. Yours Truly, Bruce Clark, Wayne
Butler, and Kent Stanley all attended the
steak feed in Addison and a good time was
had by all.
Now for the news that everyone wants to
hear - heard Geddes Simpson’s car broke
down one day this month, and Carole had
to ride home with the wrecker. Bet you
didn’t think I’d hear about that did you
Carole?
Steve and Wanda Fernald are back from
vacation in Myrtle Beach. Heard they had
a great time and had a chance to visit with
their daughter, Emily. Also heard Emily
just bought herself her first new car.
Someone said Tommy Fernald has been
to Florida and back again. Heard he’s also
trying to play golf. I wonder if he goes to
the golf course with a baseball bat. Also
heard he bought a new backhoe as a retirement gift to himself. I hope he knows
he can get in trouble with something like
that.
Mike Clark turned the big 6-0. Also got
a chance to check on Wayne’s new sideby-side. I can’t remember if it is orange or
gray. I wonder if he told me it is a Honda.
Cecil is putting in a new kitchen at camp
this winter.
My wife got a text message from our
daughter with a picture of the Eiffel Tower
- she was in Paris for a few days on vacation.
I think spring is finally here, the trees
are turning green, and the bugs are coming
out. Time to get the boat out, pick up some
dog biscuits, and take Cookie fishing.
Those celebrating birthdays are Mae
Landesman, Charles Kennedy, Irving
Smith, Harry S. Jones III, Chery (?) Heath
and Mary Abbott.
Honeymooners are Donald & Minnie
Bowden, George & Louise Sealy, Brian
& Holly Savage, Steve & Wanda Fernald,
Leland & Frances Lowell, Earl & Linda
Tracy and John & Judith Driscoll.
P.S. Don’t forget Howard Heath’s lobster feed on June 13th. Bring a fellow Mason or Shriner and let’s have a good time.
Howard Heath and Don McHenan and
their crew always put on a good feed.
Our next regular meeting will be on June
4th Pat’s Pizza.

Looks like spring has finally arrived! Time
to get some boats in the streets of towns in
eastern Maine!
The Lobster Boat unit is lining up its parade season with nine parades booked as
of now and several more potentials still to
be lined up. Kicking off the season at the
Special Olympics at UMO on June 7th at

WALDO COUNTY SHRINE CLUB
Noble Ryan Otis, Reporter
Nobles and ladies,
On behalf of all the Nobles and Ladies of
Waldo County Shrine Club we offer con-
dolences to Lady Gail Clukey.
Our fraternity has lost a great leader.
Our Dryden Dutch Memorial Golf Tournament is fast approaching, there are still
hole sponsorships available. Please register your teams now so you don’t miss all
the fun. Don’t golf? Join us for our annual
Divan Visitation and Steak Feed to follow
the Dryden Dutch Memorial.
Our ceremonial is fast approaching, have
you gotten your candidates ready? Check
your dues card, make sure your card says
2013.
If your marking days on your calendar,
keep an eye out for our 2nd Annual Fall
Lobster Feed in September.
Happy Birthday and Anniversary to all
those celebrating this month.
Hopefully we’ll see you soon in sunny
Waldo County.
Anah Aides
Noble Gordon Smith, Chief Aide
Greetings to All,
First of all, I want to extent condolences
to Lady Gail Clukey and all of Tom’s family. We are all saddened by his passing. I
had the pleasure of working with Tom on
many occasions in the Aides, as did many.
He will surely be missed by many, many
Nobles and Ladies as well as the community.
We had a great turnout of Aides at the
Circus. It is a lot of work but it is fun to
see it all come together & it was successful. Thanks to the Aides who helped spin
Cotton Candy Thursday afternoon and
Friday night. Another area the Aides covered was ushering which included helping
patrons find lost cell-phones, billfolds,
sweaters and other articles. This requires
many helpers for the job and we thank all
Nobles, Nobles wives and children and
grandchildren who gave us a hand. Because of cleaning the stadium after the
shows we were late getting to eat, but the
Second Section always made sure we got
fed -Thanks.
June Ceremonial will be busy for the
Aides. I will be sending out the schedule
and dress code soon. Fred Lunt’s class
should be a good one. He did a super job
as Potentate, but I don’t think Lady Ellen
wants to go on another boat ride in the
rain.
Birthdays for April: Aides Emeritus, Ray
Paul, Paul Thornton and Lady Beverly
Watson.
Birthdays for May: Noble Ron Watson
and Aide Emeritus Ron Murphy. Ladies:

“Love For the Children
Tour” Kick Off Celebration
Something really exciting is about to
take place and you are ALL invited
to attend!! - The Love For the Children
Tour, a project of the Daughters of the Nile
Foundation to benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children®, begins its multi-state,
112-stop tour on July 8, 2013. The 38 foot
motor coach will kick off the Love for the
Children Tour from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m
at Webb’s RV Center, 1206 Hammond St.,
Bangor, Maine. Come to the event and
enjoy the festivities which will include
refreshments, entertainment and the presentation of the motor coach keys to the
Supreme Queen of the Supreme Temple
Daughters of the Nile, Margaret Ann Risk.
Through invited guests you will have the
opportunity to learn more about the Shriners Hospitals for Children®, Shriners International and the Daughters of the Nile
Foundation.
“We are so excited to set forth on this journey to benefit the Shriners Hospitals for
Children®”, stated Linda Trible, President
of the Daughters of the Nile Foundation.
“This is the first time something of this
magnitude has been done by the Daughters of the Nile Foundation in cooperation
with the Daughters of the Nile, Shriners
International and Shriners Hospitals for
Children®. We are hoping for a great response.”
The Daughters of the Nile, a benevolent
international organization for women
who are related by birth or marriage to
a Shriner, Master Mason, or Daughter of
the Nile, works closely with the Daughters of the Nile Foundation, a 501(c) (3)
non-profit public charity, to help support
the 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children®.
This remarkable network of specialty pediatric hospitals located throughout North
America provides care for children with
orthopedic problems, severe burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palate,
regardless of their families’ ability to pay.
Founded in 1913 in Seattle, Washington,
Daughters of the Nile boasts a membership of over 28,000 in 143 cities throughout the United States and Canada. The
members of Daughters of the Nile are
proud of their long association with Shriners International and their continuing
support of Shriners Hospitals for Children®. Through the Daughters of the Nile
Foundation and Canadian Foundation,
Daughters of the Nile contributes over
$1.7 million each year to Shriners Hospitals for Children® to be used to offset
the cost of medical care and rehabilitation
of children. Members of Daughters of the
Nile also give generously of their time and
talents to the hospitals by providing more
than 150,000 volunteer hours at the Shriners Hospitals for Children®. In addition,
they sew clothing and quilts, and provide
toys, books, games and other educational
and recreational items that amount to an
annual value of over $900,000.
The tour is the brainstorm of Margaret Ann
Risk, the organization’s 2013 Supreme
Queen and CEO. “Daughters of the Nile
has contributed more than $51 million to
Shriners Hospitals for Children® for patient care,” said Risk. “The purpose of
this tour is to promote awareness of who
we are and what we do, as well as to accept donations to help us in our mission of
helping children.”
To learn more about the Daughters of the
Nile Foundation and to follow the tour or
make a donation, please visit us at www.

We are looking high and we are looking low for Nobles to support our march.
Come and join us for some flag wagging
FUN! We are also looking for Nobles
that can play a drum. It would be great to
have a beat that could match our fun loving feet. We will be marching at the following parades: Special Olympics June
7th Orono; Machias June 15th; Ceremonial in Newport June 22nd; Jonesport
June 29th; Bar Harbor July 4th; Dexter
August 10th; Ellsworth September 14th
is the line up so far on parades that we
will be participating. Information will be
coming on time by calling post. Come
one; come all let’s wave the flags tall!
As always we need to recruit new members. Think about the Shriners or Masons
in yours area. Let’s talk with them about
the Flag unit activities and with the things
we do based around family.
We had our meeting on the 7th of April.
From our Captain Arthur Herbest - I
think the meeting went well. I appreciate
everyone who attended. I would like to
thank Noble Marty Taylor, Public Relations, for is presentations on the Shriners
hospital. I believe this will reinforce the
importance we as Shriners do for the
kids. Well done. Welcome new Noble
George Beety and his Lady. After all
their years in the Flag Unit Noble Keith
Dewitt is moving to the Director’s Staff
and Noble Edwin Dewitt is moving to the
Greeters. A BIG Thank You for all of the
dedication you have given the Flag Unit.
It was a unanimous vote to make the Dewitt brothers honorary members.
Thank you to the Star for preparing and
serving us a fabulous meal during this
meeting.
Did I hear some say something about
cotton candy. We loved making cotton
candy for the Circus. The support for
this sweet and sticky time was awesome.
Thanks everyone!
Did anyone see the candles burning on
the birthday cakes for the following Nobles: Richard Dionne, Allen Fernald, and
Arthur Grant. Only one Lady: Juanita
Higgins Best Wishes to ALL of YOU.
What about the soft candle lights for the
following Anniversaries to Nobles and
their Ladies: James and Lucille Campbell,
Paul and Linda Davis, Edwin and Ellen
DeWitt, Lewis and Juanita Higgins, and
Barry and Melanie Knowles? Wishing
you Many More.
News that was missed the month of May:
Noble Floyd Hardison and his Lady Nor
ma, best of wishes as you continue your
recovery from the medical issues from
this past winter. They both looked wonderful during our April meeting.
If I have missed anyone please let me
know. I can be contacted at mestore@aol.

Hello Fellow Academicians,
Welcome to Kevin Call, our newest

Our deepest condolences go out to the
friends and family of Chief Rabban Tom
Clukey who recently passed away.
Circus News:
The Circus was very good this year. I
attended in Bangor with my family and
one of my daughter’s friends. The crowds
were good.
Andy Mays reports: “My family brought
baked goods to the cafeteria for the Circus crew on Saturday, then enjoyed supper with the Potentate after the show. The
boys had a great time and really enjoyed
the balloon hats their friend Jappo made
for them after they got fueled up on baked
beans. We really enjoy the fellowship and
fun behind the scenes.”
According to Director Steve Mosley, the
Circus went well and Clint Richardson
did a great job in his new job as lighting
director. We also had Micah Swallow and
Kevin Call, new at the lights, which did
great along with veterans Galen Knowles,
Glen Clark, Darrin Gray, Ed Leighton, Jeff
Hardy, Bub Smith, Chris Holyoke, Frank
Theriault, and Donnie Copeland on setup
and bulb handling. Steve says that he also
saw many other members of our unit chipping in several different vital circus jobs.
He says there are too many to mention
everyone and he may have missed some,
but saw Scott Hoyle, Bud Cushing, Barry
Woodard, and Paul Wilbur to mention a
few. Steve says he could not be prouder
of our unit’s participation at the Circus.
Great job everyone.
We are looking forward to the upcoming Ceremonial. Ritual practice will be
June 16th at 4pm as always at the Shrine
Center. One thing we will need to do at
the Ceremonial is to inventory all of our
equipment, so more on that as we get
closer.
Anyone who wants to participate in the
Ceremonial but who hasn’t been contacted can contact your Section Master or any
governing officer and we’ll get you put to
work.
As of this writing we have not yet had the
May meeting, so more on that next time.
Have a great June everyone. Please never
forget to send me your news, stories, jokes,
outright lies, or anything else you’d like to
generously share with our Nobles, Ladies,
and Anah Shrinedom in generalGetg

The Circus has come and gone for another year and the Keystone Kops did
their best to help make it a great success
again this year. Hopefully the Circus will
enjoy as much or more success in the new
Cross Center as it did in the old Bangor
Auditorium. The Chief would like to say
“THANK YOU” to all the Kops for a job
well done!
Schedule of coming events: Special
Olympics Parade, University of Maine
Orono Campus Friday June 7, 2013, at
6:00 P.M.
There are several more possible parade
and steak feed dates being considered and
as soon they are confirmed the dates will
published.
The Keystone Kops Annual Gun Raffle
and Annual Steak Feed tickets are now
available. Tickets can be purchased from
any Keystone Kop. Buy your tickets now
and get in on the fun.
Birthday wishes for the month of June
go out to Kops Greg Hall, Lewis Beal,
Shawn Cowen, Fred Beylerian, Dr. Dick
and Erick Emery. Wedding Anniversaries: Danny Taylor and Bonnie Wright and
JR and Cindy Tozier. Congratulations to
all and may you have many more.
Speaking of Dr. Dick. He is now at
the Maine Veterans Home, in Bangor, and
is doing much better. Come on Doc, it’s
time to get well to get back to work and to
play golf.
Now let’s move to the lighter side. Last
month’s question was: How did Forrest
Mars come up with the idea for M&Ms?
Answer: He came up with idea after
watching soldiers eat chocolate pellets
during the Spanish Civil War. And did
you know that red M&Ms were taken off
the market for ten years because consumers were nervous about eating anything
red. There was concern that Red Dye No.
2 caused cancer, however red M&Ms did
not contain the chemical. This month’s
question is: What do shoes over a power
line symbolize?
Time has come to close the “Blotter”
for this month and to remember, “IT’S
ALL ABOUT THE KIDS”.

By the time you read this, the 50th annual
Anah Shrine Circus will be history.
Potentate Lee Kaufman accompanied
some of the Klowns to school visitations
to promote the Circus. I am sure he will
have some stories to tell about that experience.
All the Presque Isle Shows were dedicated to our friend and Fraternal Brother
Thomas Clukey, who passed away the
day before the Circus started. Tom will be
sadly missed by everyone who knew him.
All the units are gearing up for the parades, and the June Ceremonial.
Our last meeting was held on April 28th,
@8:30 am. Our next meeting will be held
on 24th, which will be the start of the evening meetings for the summer.
Spring has finally sprung, and everyone
is excited to get on the golf courses or on
the lake to enjoy their favorite pass times.
Until next month, please remembe what
being a Shriner is all about and support
your Blue Lodge.
DIRECTORS STAFF
Noble
Dave Weaver
Reporter
I have to start this report with much sadness in my heart for the family of our
Chief Rabban Tom Clukey. When I first
heard of Tom’s passing on May 1st to say
the least I was devastated. I have been
hearing conflicting reports on his condition all winter but knowing Tom and his
determination I thought he could conquer
his medical problems. I got to really know
Tom and his wife Gail in 2006 when we
all went to Branson with PP Dick Hallett.
My wife Leni and I decided then that they
were really good people. I believe his last
unofficial act was passing out Aroostook
County slush at the January Ceremonial
from his motel room at the Fireside. Although he has passed to the unseen Temple his influence and presence will be felt
by the Nobles of Anah Shrine for a long
time in the foreseeable future.
By the time this article comes out the
June Ceremonial will right around the
corner. The Directors Staff will again
be responsible for the coffee mess in the
morning, registering the candidates and
fitting Fezzes. I’m sure we will also have
some escort duties. Remember all Directors are to be at Nokomis High School before 7:30 am on Saturday June 22, 2013.
Our uniform of the day will be our black
tux and all the accessories. We can use
all the help that shows up. I want to chal-
lenge all of you Directors to sign up a new
candidate for the Fred B. Lunt class of
2013. There will be a walk around at 4pm
in Newport on June 5th, meet at Nokomis
High School.
That’s it for this month; hope to see you
all at the Ceremonial
Noble Doug Brockway, Reporter
Anah Band is in the process of preparing for the upcoming season of parades
and festivals. The Circus was a really
fun performance for us and we were truly
blessed to have some great friends join
us. Hovey’s solo during Maim was a real
head turner! We really loved having the
Clowns coming over and taking over as
band directors so Earl could have a seat
and play his horn. It’s great to know we
have a backup if we ever need one. Now
we are focusing on our performance at the
Machias 250th celebration that we will be
able to have the pleasure of playing at. It’s
a long ride but it will be very rewarding
for us.
Our thoughts are with our Wagonmaster,
Corey Smart, as he recovers from knee
surgery, he does a great job of safely navigating the band through the city streets
during our parades and a wonderful job of
setting us up!
We are always looking to add some new
musicians to our group; Swing music is
much more fun when you have a really big
band! Brass, wind, piano, guitar, bass, or
piano. Ceremonial is approaching and the
new Nobles may be interested in joining
a musical unit. Lessons and instruments
provided to any and all who will be willing to learn something new. Two Mondays
a month for a practice commitment plus
some parades to boot. Practices are currently being held in Bangor at the Shrine
Center.
Remember to find that experienced
player or an adventuresome Mason to be
a Noble and take part with us, they are out
there. Watch us grow and play traditional
march music and new music with a modern mode.
Noble Fred Patterson, Reporter
Greetings Nobles and Ladies:
It is with a heavy heart that I write this
article as we have lost two Nobles of Anah
Shrine to cancer. Noble Albert Bishop
who is an honorary member of the Second Section passed away on April 18 in
Hampden and Chief Rabban Tom Clukey
passed away on May 1 in Presque Isle.
Our thoughts are with the families of these
Nobles.
The Second Section held a Ladies Night
on May 3 at the Shrine Center and was
very well attended by both Nobles and Ladies. Honorary Nobles present were Richard Young, Darryl King, Marty Taylor,
Bill McGlaughlin and Donnie Merrill. A
meal of barbeque chicken and pork chops
along with various salads was served.
Thank you to all who helped with the meal
and for those who brought desserts.
Well the 2013 Circus is now behind us and
the Second Section was in charge of selling programs once again. Assistant Circus
Director Dennis Hill informed the unit last
month that we would be selling programs
for a donation only basis and no set price
would be asked. When everyone left that
meeting I think we all thought it would be
a disaster but the opposite happened. We
actually averaged more than $2.00 per
book with the donations received. We
don’t have actual program sales amounts
per Noble selling programs, but the friendly competition among Nobles to sell the
most programs was fun to see who would
make it the farthest out in the parking lot
to hit up customers. We didn’t quite make
it all the way to Buck Street, but I think
it was discussed. Along with selling programs, the Second Section Nobles and
Ladies along with other volunteers served
meals for Circus workers. There were a
total of 943 meals served throughout the
three days of the Circus and a great time
was had by all involved. Thank you to all
who donated their time to cook, serve or
clean up after the meals.
The June Ceremonial is just around the
corner on June 20 thru 22 in Newport. It’s
sure to be fun so plan to attend. See your
Anahgram for times for all of the weekend’s activities. It looks like we will be
performing our work again this year before the parade. All of you Nobles should
keep that in mind and take the necessary
steps to keep your uniform clean for the
parade. Be sure to have the proper dress
for the parade and work of the day. If
anyone has any questions of the proper
dress, contact one of the officers or a senior member for assistance. In case of inclement weather, be sure to have your red
unit jacket on hand. If anyone needs a red
jacket, contact Noble Harland Williamson.
Illustrious Potentate Kaufman is looking
for 100 candidates, let’s all do our part and
get those new candidates signed up. Remember that any Noble who is a first-line
signer of three or more candidates will receive a Shrine watch.
Nobles! Make sure your
Ceremonial plans
include some candidates
Most people believe in law and order as long as they can lay down the laws and give out the orders.
