Greetings Nobles, welcome to
October, the month we usher in fall,
cooler temperatures and colorful leaves,
a reminder winter is coming in a couple
of months. September has been another
busy month for us with our annual Noble
Appreciation Night being kicked off with
a Cornerstone Ceremony attended by
our Imperial Potentate and the Imperial
First Lady, Imperial Sir Jerry Gantt and
Lady Lisa. The Northeast Field Days,
hosted by Kora Shriners, was the next
weekend, a report on both of these events
will be in next month’s Anahgram. Our
Shrine Clubs are back in action after their
summer break as well as Blue Lodges. I
want to thank my home lodge, Lygonia
Lodge #40 of Ellsworth for their generous
donation of ten thousand dollars to Anah’s
Building for the Future Fund to purchase a
granite bench, many thanks for all you do
to support Anah Shrine.
At the time of this writing we were
hoping to be doing business at our 1404
Broadway location, but we’re still working
on phone and computer connections to the
building, hopefully by the time of this
reading this will be history and we’ll be
at 1404 Broadway. We’ve moved a lot
of the furniture and equipment to 1404
Broadway and the building is taking
shape, many thanks to Larry & Lib and
their crew for all they’re doing, if you
haven’t been in to check us out you owe it
to yourself to stop by, you’ll be impressed.
There is a high level of energy amongst
Anah Nobles and ladies about the move
to our new Building, don’t’ let that drop,
keep up the excitement and be proud of
“FROM THE
RECORDER’S
DESK”
Larry L. Hersom
Recorder, P.P.
Welcome to Fall! Where did our summer
go? It seems like just yesterday we were
getting ready for the summer Ceremonial
in Ellsworth.
I would like to start by thanking Noble
Skip House for all his assistance in getting
the electronic sign up and running at our
new building. Skip has spent a couple of
days working at our new facility, as well as
loading the software, to run the sign onto a
laptop, which he has donated to the Anah.
Thank you Skip for all your support.
Next I wish to thank my wife, Libby, for
all the time she has spent decorating and
arranging the furniture at our new building
to get ready for the Noble Appreciation
Night. Imperial Sir Jerry Gant and Lady
Lisa were with us on that evening to
assist our Potentate Jesse in dedicating
and placing the Cornerstone at our new
building. Libby made sure the building
was inviting, and created a warm invitation
when stepping into the lobby on that
auspicious evening. I also want to thank
Phyllis and her husband Arthur (Coota)
Watson, and Janice and Don (Bo Bo) Young
for their work preparing their respective
offices for the move. What a great job they
all have done. It will be appreciated by all
the Nobles and ladies in the future when
visiting their workspaces.
If you haven’t already, you will soon be
receiving your 2016 dues notice. Please
understand the increase in the dues is an
increase in the Imperial per capita tax and
NOT Anah’s dues. As I stated last month,
you can eliminate that part of your dues
by paying it for a lifetime in the amount of
$450. If you pay prior to December 31, it
will be $450. However, if you wait until
after Jan. 1, 2016, it will then double to
$900. So now is the time to get it paid….
by check or credit card. If you have any
questions, please give the Recorder’s office
a call.
Hopefully by the time you receive this
Anahgram, the Recorder’s office will
be moved into the new building. We
are hoping to have phones and internet
in the new facility sometime mid to late
September. We will post to our website
and on our Facebook page when we finally
make the move. So until then, please call
us or come into our 586 Main Street office
to get any tickets for any of the upcoming
events.
October will be a busy month, as the
Divan will be visiting Northern Penobscot
Shrine Club Oct. 7 and Tri-County Shrine
Club Oct. 21 for their official visitations.
Also don’t forget to purchase your tickets
for the Potentate’s Reception to be held at
our new temple October 24. Chief Rabban
Bob Turner and Lady Bonnie have great
plans to make this an unforgettable evening.
Look forward to seeing you at the next
Shrine event. Hope everyone will enjoy
the upcoming fall season.

Former Patient Becomes a Shriner
Scott Boucher Shares His Story
In 1982, I became a patient at Shriners Hospitals for
Children — Springfield, in Massachusetts. Little did I know
that my first visit would pave the way for years of specialized
care and lead me to become a Shriner.
RElYING ON THE EXPERTS FOR CaRE
At age 5, my doctor in Northern Maine advised my parents that
I would need extensive surgeries to correct my orthopaedic
issues. Since my parents were unable to afford the necessary
procedures, my doctor recommended that my parents contact
Shriners Hospitals for Children for assistance. I became a
Shriners Hospitals patient, where I was treated for Legg-CalvéPerthes syndrome, which caused a deformity in both of my hip
sockets and prevented me from walking. For the next 17 years,
I underwent a variety of treatments, including 12 surgeries
and two body casts. Some of the more unique treatments I
experienced were 3-D gait analysis, a functional body brace that
I used for two years and numerous advanced shoe orthotics.
ClOWNING aROUND FOR THE KIDS
I am now 38 years old. I live in Bangor, Maine, with my
wife, Dena, and our 5-year-old daughter, Claire, and own a
financial services business. I joined Shriners International as
soon as I turned 21. I knew 17 years ago that I wanted to help
this amazing organization that changed my life. My favorite
memories from when I was a patient are the Shrine clowns, so
I felt there was no better way to give back than to become a
clown myself. I have been portraying “Scooter” for the past 16
years, helping to make patients and families smile.
Last year, I worked on organizing a trip for our local Anah
Shriners Clown unit to visit the Shriners Hospitals for Children in
Scott Boucher, also known as “Scooter,” and his daughter Claire
Boston and Springfield. Many of my fellow clowns had never set
foot into a Shriners Hospital, yet they had dedicated hundreds of
hours in support of the amazing work of the hospitals. I wanted my
fellow clowns to witness how the hospitals are changing the lives
of children, and inspire them to continue on with their great work.
My hope for the future is to continue volunteering as a Shrine
clown and to continue educating our local community on the
miracles that Shriners Hospitals for Children perform each day.
I am forever grateful to the Shriners for all that they did for my
family and for me. Without the Shriners and Shriners Hospitals,
I would not be walking today.

lines, many types of care are provided. For example, some facilities offer
reconstructive plastic surgery, treatment for craniofacial abnormalities or
care for sports injuries. Generally, care is provided until age 18, although,
in some cases, it may be extended to age 21. All services are provided in a
compassionate, family-centered environment.

The August meeting was held at
Jordan’s Takeout in Ellsworth and what
a rainy night to have a meeting under
a canopy. The meeting was called to
order by Captain Chandler. Old and new
business was discussed. The unit took in
three new members at June ceremonial:
Scott Edgerly, Jr., Jacob Day, and Sean
Dow. Looks like a lot of old fellers have
some big training sessions coming to get
these new guys in ship-shape condition.
Other members Scott Edgerly, Scott
Johnson, Doug Monson, Bill Sinford, and
Yours Truly, Bill Geel. Potentate Jesse
Thomas was there I think to share some
wisdom; I’m not quite sure. The unit
will be heading to the port of Lewiston
on September 19th. All members should
be on deck at about 1:00 that Saturday.
Remember, if you guys bounce off any
rocks underwater, the cutter “Wilbert
Terry” will be in the area. I hope to get my
stern man, Forrest DeMeyer out for the
occasion. The meeting adjourned at 7:30.
Lady Susan, I’ve been practicing up
on the lyrics of “O” Canada”. Seems like
every border native ought to know the
lyrics.
More to come on the lobster picnic and
port of Lewiston next month.
Those celebrating birthdays are Yours
Truly, Bill Geel. Remember, Runtz, I’m
looking for a good day of sunshine. I’m not
getting older, Runtz, I’m getting brighter.
Also, Lyle Dever, Joan Terry, and Naomi
Edgerly. Belated birthday wishes to Sean
Dow.
Waylon and Melissa Merchant are
celebrating their anniversary. I suppose
you’ll be out pulling traps that day. Also
Keith and Nancy Robbins. I suppose you’ll
be watching TV. Jacob and Amanda Day.
I hope you don’t have anything to do with
the two guys above. Belated anniversary
wishes to Sean and Candice Dow.
Oops! Gotta Go! Phone’s ringing; it
must be Runtz telling me it’s safe to come
to Jonesport.

the kids and adults had a really good time
Dan & Lanci and the Greens went above

all with everything from farmer Ron’s
hayride to many, many fun games for the
kids. Thank you very much for the
Costains and the Greens!!!
The next event we had planned was a
tailgate party in Sept., but we have decide
to put this off until the day of the Super
Bowl next Feb. We will send out more
details later in the year.
Our next event will be a “Trunk or
Treat” party at the new building on Oct.
30th. This is going to be a fun party where
the kids get to trick or treat at several
booths all in one building. Please look
forward to the info on that on the website
and in the Oct. Anahgram.
We are also selling bundles of dry, split
camp wood for $5.00 per bundle at a few
locations. The money we raise will be
used to support the events we are planning
and also candidates next year. You can buy
this at my house 350 Hampden Rd. in
Carmel, at Sawyers Dairy in Newport,
Ryan Otis’ convenience store in Belfast
and at Spaulding Radiator on outer
Hammond in Bangor.
Don’t forget the mission of the
S.M.A.R.T Team is to get families more
involved in Anah.

Hello Fellow Academicians and Ladies !
It’s a short column this time around
folks. Hope you’re all doing well.
The next business meeting is Wed. Oct.
28th at 6:30 at Dysart’s on outer Broadway
in Bangor across from Gifford’s Ice Cream
near the new Shrine Center. Come one
come all. Let’s have a good turnout.
On my end of things it was a great
summer with several two and threenighter trips to places like Bar Harbor,
Addison, Nova Scotia, New Hampshire,
and Connecticut visiting friends and
relatives and having a great time in
general. Now I’m full throttle in the new
school year. Lauren is a busy 5th grader.
And Sally is selling houses to beat the
band.
I hear tell that Donnie Copeland
continues to enjoy many Masonic
activities at home and in his “second
home” across the border in Woodstock,
New Brunswick. Great work Donnie.
As of this writing we haven’t have the
annual picnic, so more on that next time.
Have a great October everyone. And
remember, never hesitate to contact me at
989-2617 or at rbilancia@roadrunner.com
with any questions, concerns, news, jokes,
gossip, nonsense, or just plain outright lies
that you would like to generously share
with our Nobles, Ladies, and Anah
Shrinedom in general.

2016 DUES INCREASE
Dues for 2016 will be sent out from Shriners International headquarters in Tampa sometime the first of October rather than
Anah’s Bangor office. The per capita tax from International was
voted by the representatives this past July to increase from $15
to $30 per year. These additional monies are needed to run the
International operations in Tampa and the Imperial Sessions.
Anah’s dues are NOT increasing only International’s portion.
Anah’s dues, which are $35 are the second lowest of all the
Shrine International temples. The total dues for 2016 will be
$70, made up of Anah’s dues of $35, $30 for per capita and the
$5 hospital assessment. If you have any questions please call
the Recorder’s office.

The first meeting after summer break
was at Pat’s Pizza on September 1st.
Twenty-nine members were present. Not a
very good turnout after the fifty members
we had at the last meeting. The meeting
was called to order by President Roger
Grindle at 6:30. Old and new business was
discussed. Don’t forget your can tabs for
the October 4th meeting at Pat’s Pizza in
Ellsworth. There will be a joint meeting
with Washington County on November
3rd at the VFW hall in Franklin. Let’s all
get out and show our two Presidents what
we stand for and give them some support.
Maybe I’ll be from the other county next
month. The Club voted to donate to the
new temple fund. Special thanks to John
Fuller for purchasing the granite bench.
Joe Marshall won the raffle. Special
guest was Bruce Clark from Florida. The
meeting adjourned at 7:30.
Now for the local news. Noble Bruce
Clark and Lady Lois from Florida were
spending a week vacationing in Ellsworth.
For some reason, they just can’t stay out
of Maine. Yours Truly had to wine and
dine them one afternoon. Hope that
doesn’t happen again for a while...just
kidding!!! Past Potentate Geddes Simpson
and Lady Carole (with an e) took another
honeymoon to the state of Georgia. P.S.
Geddes..how many times did you get
married that first year? Past Potentate
John Fernald and Lady Betty got invited
out for a turkey dinner. Gee, I didn’t think
Thanksgiving came in August. I thought
that was the time for lobster feeds. By the
way, John, I hope at some point I can get
on your Christmas list. But please keep
me on your pickle list. Noble Tommy’s
goat must have gotten a little under the
weather, because I saw it one day at a
different clinic.
Remember the calling post is doing
very well so keep your ears close to the
phone at the end of the month for your
local updates.
Those celebrating birthdays are Yours
Truly, Bill Geel, Brian Hamor, (don’t
know what you’re doing, Brian, but I
surely won’t be watching TV). Did you
forget my card? Also Wanda Fernald,
Danny DeWitt, Joan Terry, Lori Weaver,

The second week of September? What
happened to July and August? As I write
this I’m amazed as to how quickly summer
disappeared. About three times as fast as
what’s to come and the older I get, the
quicker it goes. Just an observation, that’s
all.
On August 16th ten members of our unit
met at Dysarts in Hampden for a topless
(except for bashful Bud) convey ride on
back roads to the Mansion Event home in
Dexter. A former boys prep school built in
1912 is where we had lunch and libations

in a wonderful example of architecture of
that era.
Arriving there we were met by our
illustrious leader noble Dick and quality
control officer noble Terry on the front
porch checking to make sure that the liquid
refreshments available there were up to the
high standards this unit has come to expect.
They assured us that they were.
A short meeting was held on the porch
before lunch. It was warm and hard to
believe that one of the topics discussed was
planing for the upcoming Feztival of trees.
Should be a great one this year with our new
Shrine center more than able to support a
very worthwhile event.
A lovely luncheon followed in the
Mansion’s elegant dining room. Hostess
Lauraine and her husband provided a
delicious selection and it was enjoyed by
all.
Following lunch, noble John led us back
to the coast. It was a beautiful day with
perfect weather for a ride and gathering
with friends. We should do it more often.
Lady Lorraine and I will be in Colorado
for a cousins reunion during the NSA at
Kora in Lewiston. Any stories from that
event will have been circulated by the time
you read this I’m sure. I understand they
have green brownies available in Colorado,
so I will probably miss those stories.
October will be a busy month for noble
John as he will be out shopping for gifts for
his lovely lady Donna both for her birthday
as well as their anniversary. Noble Bud will
be treating his lady Theresa to something
special on her birthday I’m certain. Noble
Terry, you still have a few days to get your
special lady Bertie something extra special
for putting up with you for all these years.
Good job Bertie!
Congratulations and
happy days to all of you celebrating this
month!
Continue with your thoughts and prayers
for friends, family and fellow Shriners in
need. Many are dealing with health issues
and your prayers do help. Special thoughts
are with Noble Scott and his Lady Kelly as
he recovers.
Remember it’s all about the kids as
another month passes.

October and the trucks have been put to
bed. The parades are over until next year.
It use to be that we were on the road all
summer, but the way the economy is now a
lot of towns have cut back on their parades.

August activities began on August 1
(Gee! What a coincidence!) with our
recurring appearance at Home Depot’s
Children’s Workshop. There was a large
showing of kids despite competition from
The Bangor Fair. Fortunately four loyal
clowns in the persons of Div-It (Duane
Young), Fou (Martin Perfit). Gumpy (Mike
Robishaw) and Tag Along (Jeff Clark) were
there to handle things. That evening saw
three of our stalwarts twisting balloons at

included DIv-It (Duane Young), Patches

There was no respite with the very well
attended Air National Guard Family Day
event the very next day (Sunday, August 2).
The families and Air Guard personnel well
entertained as well as harassed by Spiffy
(Kerry Spofford), Petals (Steve Watson),
and Fou (Martin Perfit). A tip of the wig
to our own Drew Matlins (AKA Iggy
Noramus) who, in his real life role as ANG
Family Services coordinator, organizes this
annual event for the Guard members and
their families.
Thursday, August 13 found Petals
(Steve Watson) and Pappi (Stan Baker)
entertaining the residents of The PhillipsStrickland House in Bangor at their summer
cookout.
The annual Hampden Children’s Day
Parade on Saturday, August 15 was well
supported by Div-It (Duane Young), Fou
(Martin Perfit), Spiffy (Kerry Spofford),
Squiggles (Dave Small), Ko-Ko (Brian
Mushrow) and our very active apprentice
Tag Along (Jeff Clark). It was good to see
Ko-Ko and Squiggles back on action once
again. At the same time Gizmo (Lorne
Noiles), Coota (Arthur Watson) and Diggah
(Scott Knight) headed to the far north for
the Brownville parade. My meteorological
consultants tell me that the weather was no
more comfortable up there than it was down
in Hampden.
The next day, Sunday, August 16 found
Fou (Martin Perfit) and Dim Wit (Scott
Kennard) at the Bangor Elks Picnic where,
much to their surprise and relief, they were
joined by Dumpster (Dennis Dyer) and Tin
Cup (Tom Boone) who travelled down from
Dover-Foxcroft This is a great example of

Greetings Nobles and Ladies. I missed
last month’s deadline, so I’m making a
few minor changes to that report, because
I broke one of my fingers and typing on
my right hand is a bit of a challenge. I
may not be able to make the Northeast in
Lewiston as it is one of the necessary
piping fingers. I have been practicing a bit
and given the swelling in the finger and
lack of movement, I may be into October
before I’m back in due form. I have to say
that it is amazing how often one bumps
their fingers during the day without giving
it a thought. Someone asked if it was the
worst thing that had ever happened to me
and not wanting to whine or complain
more than I had said, “I’ve had better
things happen to me.” To put this into a
learnable lesson, If you have the choice to
brake a bone or not, choose not.
Here is the report that you should have
gotten in August. This will be a short
report. I’ve had a couple of really busy
weeks at work, and I haven’t had much
time to properly prepare my normal report.
Furthermore, your Highlanders have been
busy. We, as well as several other Shrine
units, performed at the Bar Harbor 4th of
July parade. As always there was a huge
crowd.
My wife, the lad, and I left
Millinocket at about 6 am to get there

early enough to find a parking spot. We
really should have left a little earlier, so I
was a bit frantic, because I know the
parking is a challenge. Long about
Ellsworth, I got stuck behind an antique
VW microbus. Well, they just going the
speed limit simply wasn’t going to work
for me. So after a fair amount of
grumbling, at my first opportunity I passed
it. Despite how I drove, it stayed right
behind me. And turn for turn it followed
me.
After a little more grumbling, I
pulled into a choice parking spot at the
parade lineup, and to my horror the VW
parked right next to me. I had to go over
to the driver and his wife and humbly
apologize for all the grumbling I did,
because the owner/driver was one of our
drummers and a friend. It just goes to
show how we should always watch what
we say and think. Kraig laughed when I
told him as he suspected that I was quietly
making an ass of myself.
On another note, on July 7th, the
Highlanders degree team performed a
Master Mason degree on a young piper.
Nick has worked with members of our
band for several years. He just graduated
from High School and he may be one of
the first, if not the first Master Mason to
plan in the Shriner’s Football Game. We
are all really proud of Nick for joining
Blue Lodge and for his impressive piping
skills. Young men like him are the future
of our fraternity.
I just finished a solo piping parade in
East Millinocket. Father was driving the
parade marshal and kind of setting the
pace of the parade. He was driving a 72
Corvette Stingray Convertible; needless to
say I was marching at double time trying
to keep up. It wasn’t a long parade, and I
was thankful.
This evening (July 11th) the band is
going to play at the Fort Knox Scottish
Tatoo. There are usually 4 bands and we
each play a set at the Fort. It is a very nice
venue and I’d encourage everyone to
attend.
On July, 18th the band played for the
Lincoln homecoming. We also played in
Winter Harbor on August 8th. If you have
never been there, it is a nice quaint little
town.
We are getting close to starting our fall
practice schedule, so if you are interested
in pipes or drums, please send me an email
at pipingleprechaun@hotmail.com . Until
next time, Be blessed.

Ankh Temple No. 160 held a banquet in
honor of her Supreme Majesty, Sharon St.
John, at the Ralph J. Pollard Lodge in
Orrington on August 12, 2015. Also
present for the banquet were many Anah
Shrine Nobles, including Potentate Jesse
Thomas and his Lady Brenda.
A
Ceremonial was held after the banquet
and the Temple welcomed three new
Princesses: Beverly Cobb, Janet Nadeau
and Elizabeth Bowen.
The Temple currently has many
fundraisers in the works “For the
Children”. One of these is an Origami
Owl fundraiser, which will be held
following the Stated Session on October
18th at approximately 4:30p.m. at the
Ralph J. Pollard Lodge. “What is Origami
Owl?” you ask. Origami Owl is custom
jewelry, which gives you the opportunity
to be the designer and make jewelry for
yourself or give as a gift. All Anah Ladies
are invited to join us or contact a Temple
member to place an order. Refreshments
will be served.
The Sewing Committee will be working
on sewing items of need for the Boston

Boston hospital has requested standard
pillowcases in flannel and Springfield
needs OR hats and johnnies.

Noble David G. Beckett, Reporter
Greetings from Schoodic Shrine Club:
Great time was had by all at the World
famous Fish Fry held at the Meddybemps
Community Center on Saturday, August
22nd. This was the annual Divan
Visitation. Potentate Jesse Thomas and
several members of the Divan, with their
ladies, were in attendance. We had nearly
40 Nobles and ladies with us. The fish was
great. The chefs did a terrific job. It went
so well because there were several
supervisors to watch over the work.
Potentate Jesse brought his greetings
and gave us an up-date on what is
happening with Anah. He spoke of the
new Shrine Center being prepared for the
Nobility and of the many ways we can
help through donations, pledges, and the
purchase of pavers, plaques, and benches.
Visited with Noble Harland Hitchings
last week at Ross Manor. Good that I got
in when I did, because this week he’s
home. Noble Lloyd “Dunk” Johnson was
in the hospital in Calais last week. I went
over to visit him a few days later and he
had gone home. All the best to these
Nobles and to anyone else not feeling
well.
As we look ahead, our October meeting
is a joint meeting with the Charlotte
County Shrine Club in St. Stephen, NB,
on Tuesday, October 27th, at the Masonic
Hall. Social hour begins at 5:00 pm US
time. This meeting is Nobles only. There
will be no meeting in November (deer
season). The annual meeting will be held
on Sunday, December 13th at the
Meddybemps Community Center. This
will be a pot luck dinner. with the annual
Yankee Swap. Dinner will be at 1:00 pm.

AUGUST CALENDAR WINNERS!
Noble John Farrington, Reporter
President Richard Elwell called the first
meeting of 2015-16 of NPSC to order at 7
p.m. in Island Falls. He thanked all 39
Nobles, Ladies and guests at this meeting
for their attendance. Everyone enjoyed a
wonderful New England boiled dinner
prepared by the great cooks of the VFW.
The supper was preceded by a very
relaxing attitude adjustment hour.
The president called for a moment of
silence for deceased Nobles Seth Libby,
Noble Orland Shorey and for Noble
George Sargent’s family with the recent
loss of his granddaughter. We extend our
most sincere sympathies and condolences
to the members of these three families.
Because Ken and Raleigh Hanscom
were not in attendance there were no fez
fines.
George and Edwina Stanley
received a warm welcome this evening.
They were in attendance after a long
absence. We expect that they will now be
able to attend more of the Club’s functions
since they have retired from their business
in Medway; Stanley’s Auto Center.
Congratulations on your retirement. Their
son and daughter-in-law, Adam and
Tiffany, are now running the business.
The 50/50 was won by the president and
he graciously gave it back to the club. Our
dignitaries for the evening were once
again Aide Emeritus; Paul Thornton,
Greeter Emeritus; Derward Shedd and P.P.
Tony Bowers.
A meeting of the current officers and
directors will take place at President
Elwell’s home at 6:30 on September 24. I
reported the results of the nominating
committee and with no nominations from
the floor, Tony Bowers made a motion
with a second from Burt Weed to have the
secretary cast one ballot to elect all of
those named. It has been done and the
Nobles will be installed at the Club’s
Annual meeting on October 7 at the East
Branch Snow Rovers club house in
Medway.
Our guest speaker for the meeting was
Brad Kytes. He is the project manager for
the Oakfield Wind Project. Mr. Kytes
shared a great amount of information
about the project with the Nobles and
Ladies.
At the conclusion of his
presentation President Elwell thanked Mr.
Kytes, reminded all of our October
meeting and bade everyone a safe trip
home. Until next time, please remember
to keep Masonry and Shrine Dom in your
life.

The Potentate’s Reception is scheduled
for October 25th at the Shrine Temple in
Bangor and I hope that many of you plan
to attend this fun time. Potentate Jesse
and Lady Brenda’s year is coming to a
close in a few short months and a new
potentate will be at the helm.
Our September 3rd meeting was a held
at the Bluebird Family Restaurant in
Machias and it was great to see new
candidates and their Ladies in attendance.
There were 39 people in attendance which
was wonderful. Carolyn Wright won the
door prize. Those in attendance included:
Brad Prout, High Priest and Prophet;
David Weaver and Donnie Wright,
Directors Staff; Chief Greeter Warren
Orcutt and Assistant Chief Greeter Mike
Bailey; Joe McDonald, WCSC President
and member of the Mini Cars; Troy
Huffman, Lobster Boats; and Dick Kilton,
Treasurer for WCSC; plus their ladies.
The Festival of Trees is being held in
November at the Temple’s new location
and parking will not be the issue that it has
been in the past. Posters will be out and it
has already been posted on Anah’s
Facebook page. This event gets more
successful each year and there is more
interest from organizations and Shrine
Units to participate and put up a tree, and
in some cases two. WCSC voted to
sponsor a tree again in 2015 and the theme
will be ice fishing. A list of items that the
club would like to have donated for the
tree can be secured from Joe McDonald.
WCSC members have been very generous
in the past and why our tree has been so
popular by those attending. Many items
have already been donated for the 2015
tree. If you do not want to purchase an
item, a monetary donation may be given
and items will be purchased with the
money. We are hoping to see more support
from WCSC members this year for this
great fundraiser for our Temple.
The November meeting will be a joint
meeting with the Hancock County Shrine
Club and will be held at the Franklin Vets
Club on Route 182. It was voted to hold
the December meeting and Holiday Party
as a joint event on December 12th.
Information will soon be out once all the
arrangements have been made.

Welcome to fall, Ladies. We certainly
had a nice Labor day Weekend. We could
have done without the humidity though.
As I write this, there is rain in the near
future. We could use it.
Those of you who joined me at the
Noble’s Appreciation evening, we had a
good time.
The next event at the shrine center will
be October 3rd. for the Noble of the Year.
You may not receive your Anagram
before this event so keep October 24th in
mine for the Potentate’s reception.
The Sunshine Craft Fair will be at the
new center also. Be sure to keep time in
your schedule for this fun day, November
7th.
In the November Anagram , I will have
a date to report to you for a little Holiday
get together. If you have a certain date and
place you would like to go ,let me know.

Last month’s question was: Where did the

Answer: As it turns out “The Riot Act”
was a real British Law under the reign of
King George I. The law made it illegal for
twelve or more people to riot. If a riot did

Greetings Ladies and Nobles. Our
September meeting was held at our new
temple with decent attendance even
though it was on Labor Day weekend. We
had a new member join the Second
Section. Noble Tony Ranco of Waltham,
sponsored by Nobles Doug Hardison and
Gary Jordan was voted into the unit. Tony
happens to be Doug Hardisons son in law
and we are happy to have him as a member
of the unit.
The Second Section would like to thank
all of the Nobles who participated in
fundraising activities over the summer.
We did parking for the Waterfront
Concerts all summer which was headed
up by Assistant Director Tom Breitweg.
He and Lady Lillian along with Nobles
Harland Williamson, Clayton Wallace,
Jerry Hayes, Mike Gray and others filled
the Dawson Realty lot and the Shrine lot
almost every show. We also sold gun
raffle tickets all summer and we want to
recognize Noble Rich Johnson for going
above and beyond by selling 160 tickets
for the unit. The Folk Festival was at the
end of August and Noble Dennis Hill
helped with the organization of the event.
We had a great group of Nobles show up
for the Folk Festival and it was very
successful for the unit as well. All in all
we had a very successful summer with
regards to fundraising. The Gun Raffle we
voted to do was an overwhelming success
for the unit. We made up 1000 tickets and
we were able to sell 966 tickets overall.
We sold some right at the wire but we
made it and I would think that this will be
an annual fundraiser for the unit. Thank
you Joe Kitchen for bringing this to the
unit and thank you to all who pitched in
and sold what you sold. Go to the Anah
Shrine web page to see the list of winners.
September 5 was moving day for the
kitchen from the Main Street temple to the
new temple on Broadway. A small group
of Nobles and Ladies showed up and we
got everything moved into the new temple.
Still a few items left to bring the kitchen to
completion but we should be good to go
very soon. The location of the new Second
Section closet is getting closer to reality.
We have the location but we need to make
plans for the petitions in the room as the
plan is to split the room into two to three
separate rooms so we can lock it up.

Night will be over by this publication and
more on that night in the November
Anahgram.
Feztival of Trees is fast approaching and
with our new building it will be bigger
than we have ever seen it. Make sure you
all spread the word with friends and family
about this event so we can make it the
biggest yet. Cafe’ setup will be different
this year as we will be in a smaller kitchen
than we had before. We will probably be
setting a schedule of sorts to get help in
certain areas at certain times as we will be
limited on space this year. More to follow
in future Anahgrams on the Feztival of
Trees.
The Second Section would like to send
our condolences out to the family of
Harold Newman who passed away at the
end of August. Noble Newman was a long
time member of the Second Section and
although I was not in the unit when he
was, he was talked about a lot and will be
missed by all who knew him.
The unit voted at our September meeting
to do the meal at the Wheeler’s Super
Supper on February 13. This will take a
lot of Nobles to pull this off so put this in
your schedule so we can count on your
help.
Upcoming meetings are October 2,
November 6 and December 4. The
October meeting will be a Ladies night
and we will host the Ladies at Dysart’s on
Broadway just up from the temple.
October birthday wishes go out to Ladies
Regina Jackson, Irene Littlefield, Amber
Robison and Dottie Wellman and Noble
Darrell King.
Happy October wedding anniversary to
Ron & Suzette Harford, Kristopher &
Leah Rideout, Tom & Marge Severence,
Glen & Elizabeth Sherman and Joe &
Dottie Wellman.
Until next time, have a safe month.

Bob Pullen, Reporter
Greetings to one and all,
The FOT committee is in full swing for
presenting the best Feztival of Trees yet in
Anahland. I want to thank the building
committee for all their hard work in
preparing our new home at 1404 Broadway
to be one of if not the best Shrine temple
around. This puts the FOT committee
under a great deal of pressure to present an
event worthy of these new surroundings.
We want to transform the great room into
the greatest room in order to show the
public as well as our nobility and their
ladies that we are determined to bring the
Christmas season in with a BANG.

us ASAP as time is running short and the
work is getting greater. Applications can
be found on the Anah website so please
help us help the temple meet budget and

I have been informed by Illusrious sir
Jesse that Tom Seymour has graciously
accepted the task of manpower chairman
for the Feztival of trees. If you would like
to be of assistance with this years Feztival
contact Tom and I’m sure he can find you
a place where you can be of much needed
help. He can be reached via email @ Tom.
Seyour@gates.com. When you see Tom
give him a much deserved tip of the fez for
his involvement with our cause, and while
you are giving out thanks please give the
same tip to Tom’s wife, Stacey, as she has
undertaken the duties of being our first
lady Brenda’s right hand person (who
would have thought I’d become politically
correct?) in the world of tree tickets.
In closing I want to say that I appreciate
every thing anyone does to help putting
the Feztival on each year. You don’t have
to donate and entire day for a project just a
few hours to allow those doing the long
shift a chance to get away from a ticket
table or out from behind a sales table for a
moment to enjoy the festivities. I believe
we have the potential of becoming the
most closely knit fraternity around and
once that happens the fun times are soon
to come for us all. We each owe our fellow
Shriner’s and their ladies the courtesy of
stepping up and doing our parts. Until
next time “Help an other person with even
a small gesture, and let me know how
good you feel inside after you see a smile
and hear even a faint THANK YOU.

Greetings from the Waldo County
Shrine Club,
As the summer season has transformed
into the beautiful colors of fall, we are all
looking forward to finally having our
communities back to ourselves. While we
all appreciate the beautiful area in which
we live, it’s nice to have the highways
back to a somewhat “Tourist Free” status
and settle back into our normal lives.
The shrine club has enjoyed a rather
healthy summer rental season. Financially
speaking, we realized one of the most
profitable Dryden Dutch Memorial Golf

generosity of the many local businesses
and numerous participants of our annual
fund raiser. With the fruits of these two
aspects of the club in the books, we are
contemplating
a project that will
seemingly aid in our efforts to stand alone
in the local “Facility Rental” arena and
become the only rental hall in the area to
boast the capability of air conditioning ,
not to mention the financial benefits of
less expensive heating costs with the
installation of heat pumps for the club
house.
The club would like to acknowledge the
efforts of two of our loyal and philanthropic
members and their families. Recently, the
family businesses of Raymond Young and
Ryan Otis organized our 4th annual lobster
feed at Young’s Lobster Pound on the
waterfront in Belfast. We all enjoyed a
light hearted night out on the beautiful
shore of Penobscot Bay, not to mention
the World Class delicacy of our region.
Also, thanks to the efforts of one of our
most valued volunteers, noble Alfred
Reynolds and Lady Catherine for their
work in arranging the relocation of our
refreshment booth for those attending this
annual event.
As for the direction of the club itself, the
Board of Directors will be starting the
process of selecting members to assume
the various “At Large” positions being
vacated by the terms of our by-laws. Our
directors meetings are held the first
Monday of each month and typically last
only an hour or so. The diverse back
grounds of the members of our board
gives the club the strength and ability to
“Forward Think” the things that will
continue to make the club one of the
strongest privately held organizations in
all of ANAH shrine. We are asking each
of you to please think about investing a
small amount of your time to help keep
our club operating in the direction we’ve
come to appreciate. Any noble interested
in sitting on the board of directors, please
contact Charlie Plourde or Charlie Pray to
express your interest for consideration to
this worthwhile effort.
Lastly, it seems the holiday season is
just around the corner, and with that,
comes the fabulous fund raiser for ANAH
itself, the “Feztival of Trees”. This year,
we are fortunate to have two very giving
individuals volunteer to direct the efforts
for the Waldo County tree. Lady Jean
Dutch and Lady Ethel Whitcomb have
offered up their artistic interpretation to
arrange and set up this year’s entrance into
what has rapidly become Anah’s largest
fundraiser. Please reach out to these two
ladies if you would like to aide in their
efforts.
Best wishes to the members, families and
guests of the Waldo County Shrine Club.
