Pote’s Notes
The month of May was amazing. On the
third we had snow then eleven days later we
got up to ninety eight. I heard that there is
only one other place on earth that has such
weather extremes. We sure are lucky we live
here.
We started out with a great fish fry and
Masonic information evening at Tussler
Summit Lodge. The food and fellowship
were second to none. Then on Saturday the
4th, we had the spring ceremonial. We had
two new Nobles join Osman. The weather
and the construction that is going on

around our warehouse prevented the
ceremonial team from getting the trailer
with all the equipment and props. But in
true Osman fashion they put on their
tuxedos and did a fantastic job. Thanks
again, guys.
On the 10th, Terrie and I attended the
installation of officers for the Osman Cycle
Corp. What a great group. We ate and
shared a few beverages and talked about the
old times and what we hope will be many
more years of good times.
Then I got a terrible summer cold and
was unable to attend
the club and unit head
meeting. Our
Assistant Rabban, Jeff
Olsen, covered for me
and I later heard he
did a great job.
Thanks Jeff, I owe you
one.
I also missed the
steak fry down in
Albert Lea. I heard
that was really fun as
well. I got better just
in time to attend the
joint Osman/Zuhrah
Divan dinner. This is a
dinner that was started
by my Shrine father
Mike Hildebrand and
his Zuhrah
counterpart Bill
Larson. This has been
a great event to share

with our brothers across the river. I’m sure
Mark and his counterpart will keep the
tradition going.
The 17th brought Hospital Day and that
was a great day as well. They were prepared
for the rainy weather we had and had the
event in the upper level of the parking
garage. I always learn more and more about
what great things go on at the Shriners
Hospital for Children. When the patients
come and talk about the great care and the
loving attention they get, it’s hard to keep a
dry eye.
We sure are lucky to be Shriners.

& Unit Head Seminar in February.
Cary Mielke named Chief of Staff
Chairman Raymond McCabe announced that the
Board of Governors of the Twin Cities hospital
unanimously approved and ratified the
recommendation of the Joint Boards to appoint Cary
H. Mielke, M.D. Chief of Staff.
Dr. Mielke is a graduate of Macalester College and
received his Medical Degree from the University of
Minnesota. He completed his residency at Mayo Clinic
in Rochester, Minnesota and a fellowship in pediatric
orthopaedic surgery at the University of Utah and
Shriners Hospital for Children in Salt Lake City. In
2006 Dr. Mielke left the world of private practice to
join the Twin Cities medical staff as Assistant Chief of
Staff.
Dr. Mielke is certified by the American Board of
Orthopaedic Surgery and is a member of the Pediatric
Orthopaedic Society of North America. His areas of
special interest include lower extremity reconstruction
and the care of children with cerebral palsy. Dr. Mielke
is involved with outreach efforts abroad to Guatemala .

On Friday, May 17, Board of Governors Chairman Raymond G.
McCabe welcomed approximately 350 Shriners and their Ladies as well as
representatives from the Womens General Auxiliary, Daughters of the Nile,
donors, and friends of the Hospital to Hospital Day 2013. e afternoon
program was highlighted by patient and family stories as well as a
presentation by staff on “What Makes Us Special”.
Despite the weather, the program was hailed a success and the day was
capped off when KSTP News Anchor Megan Newquist announced the 2013
Rainbow of Hope Award recipients. Two current patients and one former
patient were chosen to receive the award this year based on their attitude,
positive outlook on life and track record of giving back to others in need.
Each of these recipients has proven themselves to be a role model within
their community—despite the challenges they live with each and every day.
is year’s recipients were Hope Lilly Borman, a 7-year old who already
knows the importance of “paying it forward” by collecting and donating
well over 1,000 toys to the hospital; Tabitha Henke, a 13-year old
ambassador of triumph and joy who, through her “Tabitha Hug” program
has raised over $6,000 for flat screen television sets for patient rooms; and
former patient Derrick Perez, who, despite many physical challenges, has
become a decorated Patrolman and Narcotics K-9 handler and has received
citations for bravery in the
line of duty as well as an
Honorable Service Medal
award for bravery
involving personal risk to
life. e Rainbow of Hope

90th Anniversary Celebration
Shriners Hospitals for Children—Twin Cities celebrates 90 years of
high-quality care this year. On May 18th, a Carnival-themed party was held
on hospital grounds. What was planned to be a fun day on the front lawn
ended up being even more enjoyable in the parking garage and inside the
hospital. e world’s shortest parade started the day and guests enjoyed a
petting zoo, tours, grilled hamburgers and lots of entertainment. ank you
to each individual who helped make this event special. We couldn’t have
done it without you. Here’s to 90 more!

Can I still sponsor a
patient?
New patients are no longer required to have a
Shriner sponsor because we believe all children
deserve an opportunity to be treated at Shriners
Hospitals for Children.
e hospital still relies on your referrals of new
patients to Shriners Hospitals for Children (see
example of new referral card on right).
When families schedule their appointment, they are
asked how they heard about the hospital. By including
your name on their referral card, new patients will reference you as
their referral source when they call to schedule their first
appointment and you will be noted in their file.

fun. While we

love to see the
many families
during the busy parade season, nothing
brings smiles to the children’s faces more
than circus clowns, cats, elephants, and
the many performers at a circus. What an
honor it is to be a part of the annual
circus that serves our community.
e Mighty Mites membership
answered the call from our Temple to
work the circus as did the other clubs and
units of Osman. If there is one event that
draws our members together, it’s the
circus. Circus week starts with setup

During this special week, we are all
afforded the opportunity to serve our
Temple while spending time with fellow
members that have chosen the Shrine as a
group of guys that we all call brothers.
e call to serve Osman was made for
the 90th time with the same response.
Members of the Mighty Mites responded
with the same energy and passion that
clubs and units have displayed for the last
ninety years providing our community
with a quality entertainment experience.
While the Mighty Mites are a relatively
new unit in the history of the Osman
Circus, each member of our group
understands how important the circus is
to our Temple, community and the
mission of this great organization.

Was the 2013 Shrine Circus a success?
One only had to take the time to see the
faces of the many families in attendance
this year. Grandparents, parents, their
kids and grandkids displayed their
“Happy Face.” e true test in this case,
is in the eye of the beholder. With that in
mind, I would say fun was had by all
those that were in attendance, and those
of us that were there to work. Did I say
work? It’s never work when you are

Austin Area Shrine Club & Oriental Band
e first part of May
has been busy for the
Nobles in the Austin area.
Pancake breakfasts,
Scholarship Dinner at
Fidelity Lodge,
Community Night at the
Pizza Ranch, and our
Neil Hanson
monthly meeting on May
9th at George’s in Geneva.
Considering we were competing with an
Austin Artist Series Concert we still had a
respectable turnout. Mike Nehm, 1st
Ceremonial Master and our Divan
Representative attended and brought greetings
from Potentate Donald Harmsen.
In addition, he thanked us for our
participation in the sale of Circus Banners and
Plaques and in the promotion of activities to
benefit the Shrine Hospital.
Other guests were Tim Bass and his Lady
Sandy from Blooming Prairie.
Congratulations to Tim for joining the Austin
Shrine Club and Oriental Band. We look
forward to your participation.
Correspondence included a thank you
from the Shrine Hospital Auxiliary for the
leadership of Noble Charles Van House in
collecting pop cans and pop tabs for their use
toward the purchase of wheelchairs, etc. In
April, almost $600.00 was generated from this
project.
Also, a communication from Frank
Peterson regarding the Kenyon parade was
read and discussed. e Kenyon parade is on
the same date as the 2013 Midwest Session.
e Band will discuss this situation and
communicate with him about our status with
the parade.
Upcoming events include the participation
of the Oriental Band in the Memorial Day
parade May 27th. Parade time is 8:45 a.m.,
with line-up near the VFW in Austin.
Noble Hanson distributed a Tentative
Parade Schedule with confirmed and pending
dates. It was explained that some of the
communities had not mailed information at
this time, but contacts had been made. It is
possible that we may not have the same
number of confirmations as last year.
e next meeting will be the Annual Steak
Fry to be held on June 6th, and it will be held
at the Conservation Club located on Hwy 218
just north of Austin. Social time beginning at
5:00 p.m. Members are asked to bring a dish
to pass or a dessert. e calling committee will
be contacting members.
Neil Hanson, Business Manager
We are looking for new
members that will be
available to contribute
and participate in
parades and other
Clowning events.
We will teach you
everything you will
need to know to
become a clown.

Chanters
Great news! e Chanters may have
two new members from the Ceremonial on
May 4th. We look forward to seeing them.
e Chanters did not sing at the
Ceremonial, as we do not have an
accompanist as yet. We need you, Osman
members, to recommend somebody who is
able to do that for us.
We are going to sing at Acacia Park on
Memorial Day again this year. is is
always a great time. Too bad there aren’t
more people in the audience for such a
lovely program to honor those who have
served and also those who are no longer
with us.
Hospital Day was May 18th and what a
good crowd. Shriners from all over the
upper Midwest and Canada, all came to see
and hear about the work that is done at our
hospital. Miracles are performed daily. We
should all be very proud to be a small part
of those things done to improve the
physical and mental healing of those
children.
What a full weekend – with a baseball
game, Hospital Day, and Casino night at
the Lost Spur. Sure was a fun filled
weekend. anks to the Pote for all the
planning that went into it.
Last but not least is a reminder of the
Stated Meeting on June 11th. Dinner is
available before the meeting. Hope to see
you all there.
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way,
Good health, Good luck, and
Happiness
For today and everyday.

anticipation of
the start of the
parade season!
Speaking of
parades our first
parade is on
ursday, May
Brion Golde
30th.
On Saturday,
May 7th we had our clean up day at the
Alex Shrine building. It was a bit windy
and chilly but got just about everything
done that needed to be done. Everything is
running and ready to go for the parade
season. I would like to thank everyone that
came to help. You were all appreciated
dearly for your help.
ere are now new steps on the motor
home—no more sagging when you step on
them!
As the parade season is approaching, we
are looking for anyone who would want to
be a part of the parades. Whether you have
ridden a 4-wheeler or if you want to, please
contact John Phillips and he will get you
hooked up. If you don’t want to ride a 4wheeler but still want to come, you are
more than welcome to ride in the motor

After the world’s shortest (and possibly wettest) parade,
Chang makes his way to the 2nd level to greet children and
guests. Dragon marchers didn’t notice when Chang tripped
the “You’re Too Tall” marker on the way up, and found
Chang’s ears didn’t fit under the rafters. Some creative
“tipping” and he was on his way!
Dragons Doug Brick, left and Dan Rasmussen met up with
some clowns - Dan carried lipstick marks the rest of the day!
This might have been the only Dragon in a parking garage
in the State of Minnesota that day!

Chang is out of hibernation. In fact he has participated in his
first parade at the 90th anniversary at the Shrine Hospital on May
18th. It rained, but none the less the nobles had fun and I
understand there was some lipstick left behind!
It has been an interesting spring, when Chang was taken out we
found out that
the truck, cart,
and Chang's
sound batteries
were all bad,
they are now
replaced and
ready for the
first parade in
Arcadia WI.
ere was a lot
of TLC done to

it for parade
season.

parades lined up
- over 30 requests so far, requests continue to come in weekly.
Check out parade schedule on our website. We are looking for help
from nobles, anticipating them to sign up for parades.
We want to offer special thanks to Noble Brad Stout from Austin
who brought over the Oriental Bands bus to tow our Dragon Patrol
Trailer. is was done to see how their bus would handle the 28
foot trailer. It worked fine, so we will now continue to prepare our
recently purchased bus for the Dragon Patrol. ere is plenty of
work to be done before it will be ready for parades.
We have 11
Nobles signed up
for Midwest in
Duluth. We are
looking forward to
heading to this
great lake city. See
you all soon!

Greetings Nobles, Ladies and Friends,
e ALSC has another new Noble. At the May
4th Spring Ceremonial our Club gained another
Noble. Noble Wayne Borneman was fezzed by his
father Noble Chuck Borneman. e Ceremonial
was at the Masonic Center Plato and a GREAT job
was done by the Osman Ceremonial team. e
work was wonderful, the fellowship was fun, and
the lunch was good. What a great order the Osman
group is. Welcome aboard Noble Wayne!!!

Mankato
Greetings to our fellow Nobles & Ladies
Mankato Shrine Club & T-Birds kicked
off the 2013 parade season with the annual
spring banquet April 19th, at the Eagles
Club. All 39 Nobles & Ladies who
attended enjoyed a 4 meat buffet, with
beverage of choice. We were especially
pleased to be joined by Marshal Larry
Norte and Lady Audrey considering we
had 8 inches of heavy wet snow the night
before. Marshal Larry Norte installed
2013 officers, Mankato T-Bird President –
Michael Meyer, Mankato Area Shrine
Club President – Steve Igou and Secretary/
Treasurer – Dave Peterson.
Winters are quiet in Mankato
Shrineland as we have many snow birds.
Steve Igou, Michael Meyer & Dave
Peterson attended the officers meeting at
the Shrine Hospital in early February.
North Mankato American Legion again
had their sharing tree, which netted a van
load of toys for the Shriners Hospital in

the Twin Cities,
delivered in
December.
Mankato donated
$2,000.00 for the
Parade of Glory.
Our restoration
program limited the
amount we could
contribute. We repainted 8 cars and
replaced 6 motors
this winter. Hope
all have a great
parade season this
year.

Directors Staff
Greetings Nobles and
Ladies,
Our May meeting was
held at Joseph’s restaurant
in St. Paul with a general
order of business and
discussed what items
Ron Clarstrom need attention for the
2013 season.
anks to those who turned out to
wash, wax and prepare the vehicles for the
2013 season. Check the Osman for Parade
Schedules.
Our June meeting (18th) will be at the
warehouse. Planning to BBQ or grill
something, more on this later.
No meetings are scheduled for July and
August due to parade schedules.
A reminder to register for the MSA in
Duluth, MN, Aug. 15-17 if you haven’t
already done so. Application is in this issue
if needed.
I have it from good authority
that there will be a Camel Herders
degree at the MSA.
Any new Nobles who are
looking for a unit to join, should
seriously consider the Directors
Staff. We don’t march, we ride.
Directors’ Staff member PP
Marv Edelstein is at Bethesda
Hospital in St. Paul and is hoping
to be released to rehab soon. Keep
Marv and his family in your
thoughts and prayers.
Hope to see you at the events.
Have a great month
Keep on rollin'

Ceremonial cast member Gary
Wettschreck didn’t get
the email about
doing the May 4
ceremonial in
tuxedoes, so
Tom West
hurried home,
got him his
spare tux.
Unfortunately, Tom
forgot to get
dark socks. It
was either the
dorky white
socks, or the curly

Looking good, Gary!

Nobles, Ladies, and
Friends
As I write this
we all have a heavy
heart with the
passing of a great
clown and a great
Brother, Bob Witt.
Bob will be missed
by all and this
parade season will
not be the same
without him
behind the
an
Ryan Collig
wheel of the
ambulance. Bob enjoyed
participating in parades and rarely missed
one. Last year he received the well
deserved Clown of the Year.
Bob was very involved in the Masonic
Lodge, Scottish Rite and the Osman
Temple and Shrine Club. He spent many
summer weekends with the Merry Medics
Clowns, a group of Rochester Shrine Club
members that used their participation in
regional celebrations and parades to raise
awareness for Shriners Children's hospitals.
We all will miss his knowledge and all
the great stories shared while on trips. I
personally enjoyed meeting Bob and
P a g e
1 8
parading with him last year, I only
wish I could have had a lot more
years to hear more stories and learn
much more from him. Bob was a
true Brother and we all are better
men to have crossed paths with him.
Parade season is gaining speed
with a couple under our suspenders.
We were honored in participating in
the 90th anniversary Shrine
Hospital-Twin Cities parade. It was
Merry Medics Patrick Johnson, Ryan Colligan and
fun to see all the different units
Kenny Monaghan met up with a couple of Zuhrah
parading for the kids, that's what it's clowns, and tried to keep dry at the Hospital
birthday party
all about. We also had two parades
on June 9th with the Merry Medics
thank all that participated. We have plenty
in Adams, MN and e Cannon Valley
more parades to partake in this month and
Clowns in Pine Island, MN. I want to
it's never too late to join in on the fun. If
you are interested in clowning with us,
please contact me. We can never have too
many clowns! Free shirt and first years dues
on us! Until next time, I hope to see you
on the street
ere are no strangers, only friends you
have not met yet.
— Robert 'Bob' Witt
We’ll miss Bob Witt’s smiling
encouragement at the parades this
summer.
Fraternally,
Ryan Colligan, President

A parade wouldn’t be a parade
without Shriners! We checked with
some of the Osman Units and got this
tentative list of parades scheduled for
this summer. Though far from
complete, this list is impressive.
Reminder: your Temple dues need to be paid before you can participate in any parades,
as you will not be covered by the Temple insurance.

By Deb Gau, Marshall Independent
As Shriners Hospital in the Twin Cities celebrates its 90th
year, Micayla Murphy is one beneficiary that can speak to the
importance of the childrens’ hospital
Micayla Murphy is a dancer. Not just in the sense that the
Marshall middle-schooler
loves being part of the Just For
Kix program - her mom says
it's hard to get her to stop
dancing, period.
"I'm also a sprinter, too,"
Micayla Murphy said. at's
why the past six months have
been tough, as Micayla has
recovered from surgery that
helped correct curves in her
spine.
While she talked, Marshall
fifth-grader Micayla Murphy
hugged a monkey toy given to
Micayla Murphy

(photo by Deb Gau)
surgery in December. Scoliosis
had made it hard for Murphy
to participate in dance, one of her favorite things to do.
Back in December, she spent almost a week at the Shriners
Hospital for Children in the Twin Cities. Both Micayla and her
mother Carrie Colvin-Murphy said this week that they're
counting down the days until Micayla can officially go back to
being her active self. "As of next month, she'll get all of her
activity back," Colvin-Murphy said.
It's been a long journey, going all the way back to last spring.
Colvin-Murphy said she and other family members noticed
something didn't seem right with Micayla's posture.
"Mom would say, 'Micayla, stand up straight,' and I'd be
like, 'I am standing up straight,'" Micayla Murphy said. Wearing
a plaid shirt one day showed that something definitely wasn't
right, Micayla said. e lines in the fabric pattern were curved
over parts of her back where she seemed to be growing lumps.
Micayla was diagnosed with scoliosis, which was causing her
spine to curve in an "S" shape. One of the curves was sharp
enough that it was also putting pressure on her lung and making
it harder to breathe.
"She would start dancing, and her endurance was not what it
should be," Colvin-Murphy said.
e only option to help Micayla was back surgery, ColvinMurphy said, and there were two children's hospitals in
Minnesota where the surgery could be done.
One was the Shriners Hospital. Colvin-Murphy said she
applied for a referral there, partly because it worked with a
surgeon from the Mayo Clinic, and partly because she had
family and friends who are members of the Shriners
organization.
Shriners Hospital for Children-Twin Cities, located in
Minneapolis, is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. e
hospital specializes in offering orthopedic care for children
around the country.
"If it hadn't been for the Shriners Hospital, I don't know
what we would've done," Colvin-Murphy said. e surgery costs
were steep, even with help from insurance.
"ere was a huge application form," Colvin- Murphy said.
She said patients could get referrals from either a physician or
J u n e

from a local Shriners group. "ank
goodness, we had both." Micayla was
scheduled for surgery on Dec. 4.
"We went up there on Dec. 3," Micayla
said. Part of the preparations weren't just
for the surgery but to make her hospital
stay afterward more comfortable. "ey
gave me an iPad, and they had a lot of
movies you could pick out to watch."
"ey worked really hard to make sure
that the things that scared her the most
wouldn't be there," Colvin-Murphy said of
the hospital staff. But, Micayla Murphy
said, it was still hard not to be nervous.
"I was pretty scared," Micayla said.
"When they first came up with the
(surgical) bed, I was just bawling."
Micayla went into surgery at 8 a.m. and
didn't come out until around 5:30 p.m.,
Colvin-Murphy said. She had two titanium
rods screwed to her spine, to help keep it
straight. During the next few days, Micayla
worked with therapists to help her get
moving and breathing deeply again.
It was hard at first, Micayla said. She
couldn't manage more than walking from
her room to the hall and back.
"Right after I got up, I was like, 'I don't
want to do this,'" she said.
After Micayla was released from the
hospital, there were still months to go in
the recovery process. For a long time, she
said, she wasn't allowed to do more
physical activity than walking around the
track at the Marshall YMCA. It was
important that her spine had plenty of
time to grow strong around the rods and
screws, Colvin-Murphy said.
It wasn't easy being stuck at home,
Micayla said, but she had a lot of support
from friends, family, and teachers. She was
able to come back to school after the
winter holidays.
"I got this really huge card that had all
the fifth-graders and teachers' names on it,"
she said. She also found a whole bunch of
get-well cards that had been slipped into
her locker.
School desks, on the other hand, were
harder to deal with.
"ose chairs weren't comfortable at
all," Micayla said. "I had to get up a lot."
Colvin-Murphy said Micayla is now
down to just 15 days before the last
doctors' restrictions come off for physical
activity.
"It's so far away," Micayla interjected.
She said it will be exciting to go back to
dancing.
Micayla already has a song picked out
for a solo routine, Colvin-Murphy said.
It's called "Titanium."

e St. Paul Saints are heading into their 21st season of providing affordable, family
entertainment to the Twin Cities. Known for innovative promotions and a "Fun is
Good" attitude, the Saints have been recognized locally and nationally for their
creativity and customer service. Where else can you watch a live pig deliver
baseballs to the umpire, get a massage from an 80-year-old nun, sit on a bill board
in right field, or yell "Train!" as they pass behind the left field wall. It's an
experience like no other.
