Potentate’s Comments
It’s October and fall is in the air. We are gearing
up for the Fall Ceremonial next month and I sure hope
you have a candidate in mind. We need to keep our
membership growing at all times, we need new fresh
ideas brought to the temple whenever possible, and
we always need more great men spreading the good
word of the Shrine. It’s set for Saturday, November
the 15th and the doors open at 11am. We are going to
honor Past Potentate Bob Parker, and it should be a
great day for all. The Ladies have a special day
planned as well. Don’t miss out!
Let me drop back and cover just a few things about
September before I go into the current month. Let’s just say it was busy around
here. We had parades, a fishing trip, a football game and plenty of golf. Craig
Vander Zyl, thanks for all you did this year lining up the parades and the Units
attending. Norm, great job with another successful “Break on the Lake” fishing
trip, a fun time had by all. And I can’t think about the game without a smile on my
face. As an ISU fan, I was only hoping to not have a blowout. Well we all know
how it ended up. I think the players gave it their all and we should just leave it at
that. Next year might be a different story. Thanks to everyone that helped out with
the tail gate party. I hope you all had a good time, I did. The Hole in One Club has
been putting their tails off this year and I sure hope many of you had a chance to
play in the events. I only made a couple but fun was had by many. Great Job
Nobles...
Ok, October we have a full line up as well. CIRCUS KICK OFF to start off with
on the 7th, fun for all so bring your lady and come out to the Temple at 6pm for a
fun filled night. It’s crazy to think John Miller is already talking, thinking and
dreaming about the Circus... But he is. Don’t miss this night, it should be a blast!
Just a few are heading south with Candy and I for a week of sun and fun. Details
about that trip will follow. Although, what goes on in Punta Cana might stay in
Punta Cana... if you know what I mean. We’ve got a full KC Football trip on the
25/26th details on that deal might stay south of the Iowa border as well. Sunday the
26th, we will host the Birthday Dinner at 6pm for everyone, free to birthday Nobles
of September and October. Folks we wrap up the month with the best of the best.
We hope to have the best party of the year, its Halloween time at Za-Ga-Zig. The
31st the DIVAN will host its Adult Halloween Party on the last night of the month.
Don’t miss this great event. I hear it’s FREE for anyone in costume, there will be a
cover charge for anyone NOT. So dig out your favorite, hat, dress, or mask and
make your way there. Munchies, music and drink specials will be flowing all night.
(FYI, the Hospital Dads will have the kids Halloween party on that Sunday the 2nd
of November).
A heads up for November plan to attend these next special events. Black Camel
& Widows Luncheon on the 9th at 12:30pm, this is special day in Za-Ga-Zig land
and dedicated to the Nobles that served their Temple well, and have passed on to
higher ground. Take the time to help celebrate their lives during our ceremony.
Then mark your calendar and don’t miss Ladies Night on the 21st at 6:00pm. This
is going to be the best sit down dinner we’ve had all year. Lady’s it’s your night.
Plan to be pampered and treated like a queen. We are working to make this night a
special one for all the Za-Ga-Zig Ladies. Be sure and watch for details in the
November issue.
Take care of one another my brothers. Do what you can, for who you can,
whenever you can!
Fraternally yours,
Postmaster: Send Form 3579 to:

Ambassador Unit News
By Steve Fedler, P.P., Secretary
What a great time to be a Shriner. Have
heard that lots of times over the years in
our travels and we should never forget
what we represent. The BEST fraternal
organization in the World. And we have
the BEST hospital system for kids, bar
NONE.
Last month was CSSA and we traveled
to the warm state of Oklahoma and visited
the fun city of Tulsa for a few days. Took
in some golf and sight seeing. But mostly
went to show our pride and represented ZaGa-Zig in the parade. That big limo gets a
lot of looks and comments and it always
makes you proud to hear the fans tell us
“thank you.” Got a lot of looks and horn
honking on the way there too.
Back to home and the parade we all
love, Madrid. Not only is this an easy
parade to join in, the hospitality is second
to none. Thanks to the Palmitier family for
being such great hosts. We loaded up for
the parade and brought one of our longest
members along. Picked up at his door step
and returned safely Bob Conklin. And Bob
still enjoys the ride and sights of a parade.
This is one great Shriner who can fill your
day with stories and memories of what a
Shriner does best.
As the year takes a turn and we begin
to see the end coming, it is time to
remember elections are up next. So look
around and see who your nest Unit/Club
leaders will be. And while reflecting on
ON THE COVER . . . . . . . The Clown
Unit making balloon sculputers at the Arabian Horse event over Labor Day Weekend. Story and more pictures on pages 23. pictures by the Public Relations Unit.
Election, Stated meeting on December 2nd
will bring you out to vote for the leaders
of YOUR temple.
At our latest meeting on the 18th of
September, I was really amazed by the
enthusiasm of our members to step up and
take a leadership role. When you have a
fun unit with fun people, you have a great
feeling when you accomplish your goals.
Chief Rabban Steve Green attended our
meeting and gave some hints of upcoming
events for his upcoming year. We discussed
some issues and ideas which we have been
thinking of doing, and together, we can
make it work. We really like the idea of
bringing back the Unit or Club to serve
the Birthday dinners. In return, you get a
FULL page to advertise your event for the
year. We have already signed up our dater
and look forward to being a part of that
tradition.
Still lots of events coming up for the
year, so look for the Ambassador guys to
be there.
Be proud to be a SHRINER, share FUN.
Keep our kids in your heart.
Until next month, keep a petition in
your pocket, someone, somewhere, at any
time, may ask
HOW CAN I BE A SHRINER?
Cruising with the Klassy
Chassis Shrine Club
By: Randy Andrews
Parade season is slowly winding down
on us. Nevada was another good one. Now
we are looking forward to Granger.
Myself, well I’ve been enjoying
everyone’s reaction to my new friend
riding shotgun with me, he even waves.
His name is “Robert”.
Wow how time flies October will be our
last meeting for 2014. Of course we’ll be
electing new officers and laying out our
plans for 2015, I know I want to set a few
new goals for myself.
As always we are looking for new
members if interested please come and join
us, you do not need to own an old vehicle
to join.
Isn’t it great being a Shriner

Iowa Arabian Horse Gold Star Futurity Meets the Shrine
We were given the opportunity to
participate at this years Iowa Arabian
Horse Association’s Gold Star Futurity &
Fall Classic Horse Show held at the Iowa
State Fairgrounds August 29 – September
1, 2014.
The committee which took care of the
event consisted of: Steve Klein and Don
Burkhart, co-chairs and Rick Corbin, High
Priest & Prophet.
Friday afternoon Jim May gave a short
speech about our Shriners Hosiptals for
Children and present some checks to the
Champion and Reserve Champion
winners.
Friday night was the Barn Party where
we were given an opportunity to show
what the Shrine is about. The weather
wasn’t very cooperative since it decided
to rain in the early evening, so the Calliope
stayed covered up and Randy Weldon
wasn’t able to get the train out and set up
to give rides to all the kids. But the clowns
came in force and created an array of
balloon animals and wowed the crowd with
their expertise. All one could see, was a
crowd around the clowns and balloon
animals throughout the Horse Barn.
The hospitality at the barn party was
over the top. The Arabian Horse
Association really knows how to put on a
party.
Saturday night the Arabian Horse
Association held their cocktail party and
Stallion Auction, in which the Greeters and
Tux Unit manned the doors to welcome
all who attended.
Sunday night the Legion of Honor
presented the colors and the Chanters sang
the National Anthem. The Clowns were
suppose to help with a trainer event, sadly
none of the trainers wanted to participate,
so they, being the every so flexible group
that they are, jumped right in and started
making balloon animals for anyone that
wanted them. What a group. The Oriental
Band, and some other Shriners all showed
up to support the Shrine. Its amazing to
see how Shriners step up and make things
happen.
Rick Corbin, High Priest & Prophet
stayed home from C.S.S.A. to be at this
event the entire weekend to make sure
everything went as planned. Chief Rabban,
Steve Green, showed up Sunday to check
things out. Nice to see him there after just
making it back from Central States, his
support is greatly appreciated.
Our peanut sales were more than we
anticipated, thanks to Ron Hicks, Guy
Freeman, Mike Des Planque, Les Beaver
and Larry Heggen, P.P., hats off to you
guys.
Gorilla Graffiti from Waukee, Iowa, one
of the vendors at the event, made a Gold
Star Futurity T-shirt for the event and
donated $5 for each t-shirt sold to the
Shriners Hospitals for Children Twin
Cities. WOW, what a super company to
help out our cause.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE
SHRINERS THAT HELPED MAKE
THIS EVENT HAPPEN.
Special thanks go to Larry Irwin with
the Fort Dodge Shrine Club, Ron Hicks,
Steve Fedler, P.P., they went above and
beyond to help out.
This being the first year we were able
2
to participate with the Arabian Horse
Association, it was as much a learning
experience as it was a fun one. Next year
we will be able to make changes to help
them put on a better event, while exposing
them to what the Shrine and The Shriners
Hospitals for Children is all about.

A BIG THANK YOU
From all the Divan members to
everyone that worked and help plan
out the Arabian Horse Show Event.
Great Job Nobles!!!

The Nishna Valley Shrine met
September 3rd, at Weitzel’s restaurant,
with 9 Nobel’s and 8 Ladies present. It was
nice to be back together with all the
Shriner’s. I can’t believe how fast the
summer passed.
We just finished one of our fund raisers,
which was manning the rest areas on I29,
at the Underwood rest areas. We had a very
successful weekend, and met a lot of
interesting people, with interesting stories
to tell. Some had stories about being a
Shrine Child, having a child that was a
Shrine Child, a relative, or just knew
someone that had been a recipient of the
Shrine family. What amazing stories you
hear from these folks.
Our next fund raiser will be October
30th, which will be our Chicken Noodle
Dinner. We have already been busy making
noodles for this event. It sure takes a lot of
noodles to be prepared for this dinner. We
hope to see you at our Chicken Noodle
Dinner. The Chicken Noodle Dinner is held
at the Catholic Parish Center.

Trike Patrol News
By Joe Vincent
Where do I begin, what a summer!
Between Parades, Imperial Session, more
parades, and CSSA the Trikes have been
active.
I’ll start with the 140th Imperial Session
which was also the 60 th year of the
International Association of Shrine Motor
Corps. Imperial started for the Trike Patrol
on Sunday morning July 6th with a caravan
to Minneapolis, MN. Trikes were locked
down, tuned-up, and ready to roll.
Excitement was in the air, and everyone
was ready for whatever laid ahead. We
attended the membership meeting upon
arrival, and then along with our Ladies
went out for a nice dinner. Monday arrived;
time to put on our game face. Imperial’s
obstacle course is a lot different from
Central States. The course layout is
different, you only get one attempt to run
the course, and helmets are required at all
times. The team won first place, and Kenny
Harrier, and Craig Vander Zyl had the
fastest time in their age group. Trophies
were awarded at the Banquet brunch on
Tuesday, and then we high-tailed it back
to Des Moines.
Next up is the parades. If you haven’t
made it out to a parade yet, you are really
missing out on the fun. But no worries,
there is still a few parades left this year, so
stop by and see what you’re missing, and
help us spread the word about the Shrine.
So you don’t know where the next parade
is? Simply ask, and we’d be happy to give
you the details.
Last but not least is Central States. Once
again we loaded up the trikes and hit the
road, this time going to Tulsa, OK. We only
had three trikes attending CSSA this year,
and you need two to complete the obstacle
in order to qualify. The weather was
miserable hot, but then Friday morning the
day of the competition it was raining. With
the slight delay, the weather cleared, and
continued on page 6

NOBLES
Don’t forget your
Blue Lodge.
Attend as often as you can.
Remember, it’s where the
journey began.
Find a Good Mason,
we can make a Great
Shriner.
Thanks, Jim
here came the sun and heat. Our trikes were
second up, and during our drill my trike
decided to freeze up. We discovered that
the keyway fell out. One great thing about
the Trike Patrol, is the team work and on
the spot repairs. We hiked the trike up, and
between Craig Vander Zyl, Steve Green,
and Doug Miller they were able to rig it
up, and off we went to the obstacle course.
Once again we were victorious! Our Trike
Patrol won first place, and Craig had the
fastest time. Check out the trophy case at
the Shrine Temple, and see the collection
of new trophies from both competitions
this year.
If you are interested in learning more
about our fun, competitive group, bring
your Lady out and join us at the Shrine
Temple the 4th Thursday of every month
at 7 p.m. We’d love to tell you more!

Hole In One - October News
By Steve Fedler, P.P.
Let’s start off with the list of winners
from our latest outing at Rolling Hills on
Sept. 14. The co-ed day was filled with a
lot of fun people. The course had a few
problems with the 20 plus inches of rain,
so we used a little more caution with where
we landed the ball. Winners were:
Closest to the Pin - John Miller, P.P.
Longest Drive men - Bill Walton
Longest Drive ladies - Lori Wahlman
Longest Putt - Sonnie Palmitier
First Place winner was team Wahlman/
Vermeer
Second Place winner was Green team.
With 10 teams there, the day was a lot
of fun and a few jokes were placed and
everyone had a smile and laughter was
abound. We do have some great teams as
there were 3 teams all tied for 3rd place
with an eraser score of 82!!
Prizes were given out and most
everyone received something. Chief
Rabban Steve Green received a driver for
the longest drive. Problem was, it was his
partners club!!
Our last outing is the last of the season,
before you get your clubs winterized and
ready to store away. Get your buddy out
and join us for 2 man on October 12, at 1
p.m. tee time at Terrace Hill east of
Altoona. BUT, wait, first stop out to the
Shrine and fill up on Zig Zagger Omelet
breakfast, relax with your friends and head
out to Terrace for a nice day of golf.
Call Jim Osterquist 249-1812 or Randy
Stoner 971-2757 to sign up for your next
day of golf.
Sportsman‘s Club News
By Paul Freeman
On August 26th, a group of Nobles voted
on and approved by-laws forming Za-GaZig‘s first Club focused on Nobles who
enjoy outdoor sports and activities - The
Za-Ga-Zig Sportsman‘s Club. Our
Potentate has approved the by-laws and a
copy is on file with the Temple Recorder.
Thank you to everyone who helped to
make this Club possible.
Hunting? Shooting? Trapping?
Fishing? Kayaking? Canoeing? Hiking?
You name it - if it interests you, bring it to
the Club. Let’s promote an event and make
it happen. It really is that simple.
Several members attended the YOSHI
opening day dove hunt near Polk City.
Oriental Guide Jay Coon led the trip. If
you have never hunted doves, it is a
humbling experience-especially if you
hunters consider yourselves to be a “good
shot.” By the end of the day, we all ended
up with almost a dozen dove breasts each
and finished the day with pizza and
sandwiches at a local eatery.
Come join us. The Club is just getting
started and we are eager to get going on
more activities. Ice fishing, deer and
waterfowl hunting is here or fast
approaching. Dues are only $12.00 a year
and there are, at this time, no uniform shirts
to buy.
We will be voting for our officers this
month. Our meetings are the 4th Wednesday
of the month at 6:30pm, so come on out to
the Temple on Wednesday September 24th.
You
can
contact
me

or interests.
We are looking forward to seeing all of
you on the water or in the woods.

Legion of Honor Update
By Joe Lamb, P.C., Adjutant
Have you missed us? We are still
around, just haven’t been getting our
articles into the Feetprints. Here is a little
review on our year since the first of the
summer. We had a record turnout for the
Memorial Day service. Thank you to all
who attended. Of course we are always
present at the Stateds and Ceremonials. We
had the honor to lead the parade at the
Shrine Bowl. Thanks to all of the Legion
Of Honor members for their efforts at the
State Fair golf cart operation.
We only do two parades a year, the
Shrine Bowl and the Dexter parade. I think
we set some kind of record this year at
Dexter. The parade was on Labor Day
weekend and there were other parades and
football games to compete with, but the
Legion of Honor was the biggest Za-GaZig Unit in the parade. We had five
members and the Klassy Chassis had two.
Needless to say, the parade wasn’t the
greatest, but the people of Dexter are great
supporters of our onion sales and we enjoy
parading for them. We also had the honor
to present flags at the Arabian Horse Show.
That was a new experience and we hope
we can participate again in this event.
September and October are quiet months
for us.
We gladly welcome a new member to
our Unit, Billy Wilson. We hope to attract
two or three more new members before the
end of the year.
Finally, we are saddened by the loss of
a long time member. Dr. Gordon Elliott
passed away on September 7. He will be
greatly missed.

BIRTHDAY DINNER
FOR
September & October 2014
Will Be Held On
Sunday, October 26th
Social 5:00 pm • Dinner 6:00 pm
The T.S. Parvin Award, named for the
first Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge
of Iowa, was established in 1982 by the
Iowa Conference for Masonic
Cooperation. It is presented annually to an
Iowa Mason who has not been previously
honored by having been elected to a Grand
Office in any Masonic Body, and who best
exemplifies the spirit of Masonry which
was lived by our distinguished brother who
said, “I want to be remembered among
Masons as one who gave the Fraternity the
very best there was in him, not thinking of
reward in dollars and cents.” A committee
composed of the Grand Master of Masons,
Grand High Priest, Grand Master of the
Council, Grand Commander, Sovereign
Grand Inspector General, 33rd Degree, and
Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Iowa
Conference chooses the recipient from
nominations submitted from all parts of the
state.

Fez-B Club News
By Dan Baker
Food for thought for all Nobles:
Get out and support the Shrine in as
many ways as possible! Attend you Unit/
Club meetings as well as others. The effort
each of us makes – however small – may
be exactly what was needed for our
continued success. The new acquaintances
you casually meet at various events may
become your best friends in life.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Past
Potentate Bob Williams and his Lady Sue.
We had a good turnout once again for
the September Ladies Nite Iowa Chop
Dinner. If you missed out, you will just
have to wait until next September.
The October 15 Ladies Nite Dinner will
be a fish fry hosted by Noble Larry
“Rabbit” Wilkening and family.
As it stands now, the Ladies Nite Dinner
on November 19 will be Pork Loin with
all the trimmings. This meal to be hosted
by Noble Collin Buckingham with the
assistance of Noble Roger Wilson and his
Lady Dorena.
Our December 17 Ladies Nite Dinner
will be hosted by Noble Dan Baker and
Lady Deb. Rumor has it that Jolly Old Saint
Nick may even drop in with surprises or,
at the very least, a little humor.
If you have missed out, mark your
calendar for the 3rd Wednesday of every
month in 2014 and 2015 for Fez-B Ladies
Nite! You will not go away hungry or
dissatisfied. Our cooks go all out, the meals
and fellowship are always great! If you
don’t attend, you’ll never know what you
missed!
Please remember that the regular FezB Club meetings are always held on the
2nd Monday of the month at 8:00 p.m.
following the Mirza Lodge meeting.

Diplomats News
We lost one our founding members,
Clarence A. Duke, on May 1, 2014.
In 1964 Duke helped form the
Diplomats, a 21 convertible car Unit of the
Shrine with each car owner having its own
“Fez” license plate. He served as president
of the Unit in 1964 and 1965.
He joined Za-Ga-Zig Shrine in 1949,
which made him a 65 year member. It was
reported in the Black Camels incorrectly
that he joined Za-Ga-Zig in 1987.
