Al Kader Oasis - July 2016
Pote’s Notes
by 2016 Potentate I.S. John Nerski
Well, a lot has happened in the last
month or so and a lot of things are on
the agenda for the rest of the summer. It
is hard for Lady Pat and I to believe that
our term as Potentate and First Lady are
half way done already. We have had such
a wonderful time with all of the events,
the travel and meeting with all the
incredible people we have.
We wanted to give a huge thank you
to both the Oregon Eastern Star and
the Rainbow Girls for their financial
support of the Al Kader Transportation
Fund in their giving sizable checks to
us for that fund. We have many people
that contribute to the fund and each is
considered a precious gift especially when the gifts are like the ones we
received from Eastern Star and Rainbow Girls. Thank you.
As you may know, we have some pretty serious repairs to the building
currently being done. We asked Noble Tony Becket and his crew to come
out and look at potential problems with some areas of the building that
were showing signs of problems. Nobles Tony’s crew discovered that we
have dry rot in several areas of the building structure and have set out to
fix it. The repairs are going to be expensive but this is our home and we
are obligated to take care of it. A thank you to the clubs such as Legion of
Honor and Salem Shrine club and others that have donated to the building
fund to defray costs to the Temple and if there are other clubs or units that
can help out it would be appreciated.
The majority of the Elected Divan will be traveling to Tampa to attend the
Imperial Session in early July. Lady Pat and I leave on the first of July and
are returning on the 15th of July. I have appointed I.S. Dan Moyer as acting
Potentate in my absence and I am confident he will be able to keep things
well in order while I am gone. We look forward to the business sessions,
meeting up with friends, making new ones, being part of the installation
of Imperial Sir Chris Smith and especially greeting the new Shriners
International Patient Ambassadors.
On Sunday July 17th Al Kader will be participating in a Shriner’s night
with the Portland Pickles minor league baseball team in the Lents area of
SE Portland. We will have some time before the game to make the public
aware of our fraternity and the hospital we serve, display our toys and we
are working on having a patient ambassador throw out the first pitch of the
game. It promises to be a good time and by the way, this is a fund raiser for
our Transportation Fund. Tickets are $10 each and the team owners have
agreed to donate half the ticket sales to us to help with the costs of getting
the patients to and from the hospitals. We will be sending you tickets
in the mail as an opportunity to buy them to show your support of the
Transportation Fund and take your family out to the ball game.

Pote’s Notes Continued ...
The events at Baker City have changed a little this
year. Noble Dave Simpson has volunteered to hold
a Movie Night at the Mountain View RV Park after
the player’s dinner that is in La Grande on Friday.
He hasn’t chosen a movie yet but I am sure it will
be good. We will have popcorn, sodas, there may
be an adult beverage or two available and the movie
starts at 9:00 p.m. On Saturday, the parade line up
is at 11:00 a.m. with the parade step off at 12:00
noon. After the parade we will be assisting the
Baker County Cattlewomen’s Association in a BBQ
lunch at the Geiser-Pollman park where your Divan
will be serving the meal and then the game starts
at 7:00 p.m. at the high school.
Please remember that we always need new
members to our great fraternity. This year we have
repeated the membership contest where we all
have an opportunity to win an all-expenses paid
trip to the college East West Football game in St.
Petersburg, Florida in January. You need to be the
first line signer on five petitions to be entered in
the contest so please go out there and get those
petitions!

Director’s Corner
Chaplain’s Report
I want to thank everyone who participated in the
parades in the month of June. THANK YOU.
Years ago some Masons had a poor impression
of Shriners. Many Masons who became Shriners
didn’t return to their Lodges. This was very
unfortunate.
by Noble Dennis Harris
July is a very busy month for parades, there are 12
total, 4 of which are All Unit Parades.
The All Unit Parades are; Molalla July 4th,
Philomath July 9th, Troutdale July 23rd, and
Newberg July 30th.
Remember we would all like to see as many
people as we can either riding, walking or even
standing on the sidelines showing support,
WEARING A FEZ.
British General: “Well,” snarled the tough old
General Cornwallis to the bewildered soldier, “I
suppose after you get discharged from the army,
you’ll just be waiting for me to die so you can
come and piss on my grave.” “Not me, General!”
the soldier replied. “Once I get out of the army,
I’m never going to stand in line again!”
The next Unit Head Meeting will be held on
Wednesday July 28th Oasis 5:30 p.m. Dinner at
6:00 p.m..
by Noble Kenton Wolfe
My observation today is that this phenomenon
no longer exists. Shrine Mason has become a
popular name and practice. Many Shriners are
active in their Lodges. As I visit Lodges, I see
many officers and members who are Shriners.
The question then comes up - why aren’t all
Masons Shriners?
There was a similar occurrence with some Shrine
Masons and their place of worship. Some Masons
became less active in their churches or places
of worship as they became active in Lodge and
Shrine activities.
Again my observation is that presently many
active Shrine Masons are also active in their
places of worship.
In the memorial service that I use there is a
paragraph that refers to building our spiritual
temples.
If we are we practicing our Shrine Mason precepts
shouldn’t we be active on our places of worship
and our Lodges as well as Shrine?

Attest: Dick Duer, Recorder
“Good Masons make good churchmen. Every
clergyman can testify to the truth of this. They make
loyal and sacrificing patriots. Our colonial history
supplies the proof of this assertion. All Masons are
not ardent church members but neither are all
church members ardent for the church. Yet the proof
is clearly and abundantly evident that the Masonic
fraternity is an influence for good in personal and
community life.”
– The Rev. Bishop Fred Pierce Corson, Methodist
Bishop of Philadelphia and President of the World
Methodist Council
“A man should keep his friendships in constant
repair” – Samuel Jackson
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told
me that happiness was the key to life. When I went
to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when
I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I
didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them
they didn’t understand life.” – John Lennon

Central Oregon Shrine Club
by Noble Terry Griffith
Central Oregon Shrine Club held its first ever
local partnership with Red Robin Burgers and
Brews, in the Old Mill District of Bend in May.
This event proved to be very worthwhile with
a very sizable turnout (workers said they have
never been so busy for a Monday night). A huge
thanks goes to all the Shriners that brought their
Fez’ and came out for the evening. We also had
our E/W player, Chance Halley, along with Payton
Gregory (honorary co-captain) and of course Zach
Henneous, our Run Ambassador. All chipped in
and helped make this a booming success!
30, and Baker City on August 6th. If you know a
patient from our Hospital, or a Noble or a friend
of a Shriner that would like to ride with us, have
them contact our Secretary, IS Bob Walliker
(bobwalliker@gmail.com)
We are always on the lookout for more members,
especially nobles and their families who would
like to help us in promoting the Portland Hospital,
if you are interested feel free to contact our
President, Rod Hevland (hevlandro@gmail.com or
at home (503) 649-5764.
Just getting the Shriners out in public and talking
with the patrons was a great move. Many people
contacted us, saying that they didn’t know we
were still around and were very supportive of the
Hospital. Several came up and told us they had
been a Shriner patient or had a family member
who was. That made the whole evening very much
worthwhile.
Red Robin donated 20% of the two hour proceeds
and we ended up with over $600, plus the
opportunity to visit with lots of local people.
This donation was given to the Shriners Run
For A Child, which all net proceeds will go to
the Hospital. Red Robin-Bend has been very
supportive. This will become an annual event for
the Run.
Hospital Support Club
by Noble Rod Hevland
By the time you read this the Hospital Support
Club will be well into the parade season. On June
4th our float pulled by the Calliope Corp Engine
along with the Oriental Band and Nile PDIR
participated in the Starlight Parade on a very
hot 99 degree day. We were honored to have our
Potentate, IS John Nerski and Nile Queen Sharon
Kelly riding on the float along with several patients
and other members of our club. We had a picnic
provided by our club’s ladies with funds from the
OB. A great time was had by all.
On June 7 the Rose Festival court toured our
Hospital and was guided by at least one of our club
members.
We also participated in the St Helens parade on
June 18 and the Tillamook parade on June 25.
The Club will be participating in the Troutdale
parade on July 23, the Newburg parade on July

Tualatin Valley Shrine Club
by President Herb Richardson
Our Tualatin Valley Shrine Club is still in darkness
which provides us the opportunity to enjoy our
summertime activities, but I will continue to make
a concerted effort to keep everyone informed
as to what is going on in our little Masonic
community. The one thing that is up on my
radar screen is our Shrine Club annual picnic at
Cook Park in Tigard on Wednesday, August 17th
starting at 5:00 pm. I think we will keep the same
bill-of-fare as last year with fried chicken and all
the fixens provided by the club. Ladies feel free to
bring a “small” desert of your choosing. As in past
years we have again invited the Award Winning Al
Kader Oriental Band to join us for the picnic and
entertainment. You will not want to miss this so
get it on your calendar right now.
sponsors. We can never have to many. This year
in addition to the car the hole in one sponsor will
have prizes for a hole in one on any par three. It
will be a fun tournament for all. Remember the
tournament is open to all. So go out and recruit
players.
If you missed the May meeting at the Peppermill
Restaurant we are so sorry you were not able
to make it. We had an excellent attendance with
twelve Nobles and eight ladies present. Dr. Aiona
from Shriners Hospital was our guest speaker
and delivered a very interesting talk about
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
We need new members!
Although there are no meetings planned for the
next couple of months I will continue to offer
these short Oasis articles to keep you informed,
as best I can, as to what is going on relative to the
Tualatin Valley Shrine Club. So stay tuned and
stay informed.
With all of that in mind, our next event is the
picnic on Wednesday, August 17th and our
next business meeting will be at the Peppermill
Restaurant, 17455 SW Farmington Road,
(Intersection of Farmington and Kinnaman Road),
Aloha at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, September 21,
2016. If anything changes between now and then
I’ll let you know by mail, email or phone call. Hope
to see all of you at the picnic.
When you attend the parades and other functions
be sure and wear your fez and take raffle tickets
and golf signup sheets with you.
Don’t miss the stated meeting on July 25, 2016.
There will be a report about the Imperial Session.

Concert Band
by Noble Clem Norton
The Concert Band had no performances during
May, but we spent the time preparing for a June
concert at the Jennings McCall Center and for
the June 18 Veterans social, both of which will be
reported upon in next Month’s Oasis. Fine for
now.

Desert Patrol
by Frank Brewington, Captain
We have completed the Dalles and Newport
Parade and had a great turnout. Thank you
everyone for coming and supporting the Desert
Patrol.
The Mustang breakfast is coming up on June 4th
at Hillsboro Fairgrounds the cost is $6.00. It is
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., so let your friends know to
come out and join us. We went to Tebo’s for our
meeting and had a great surprise, we ended up
having a lady come up and ask us if she could talk
to all of our group. We told her yes at the end of
the meeting. She told us Thank you for doing what
we do. Her sister got polio and they didn’t expect
her to live. She needed surgery because she could
not walk, so the Shriners Hospital on Sandy Blvd
did surgery on her sister, they put a rod in her
back. She is now 53 years old and because of the
Shriners they got to keep her sister 30 more years
She now has a brain tumor and they don’t know
how much longer she will be with them. But a Big
thank you was given.
Art Hermanson, Potentate Rep talked about the
repairs that are coming to Shrine center.
The mustang breakfast went really good. I want
to thank my daughter Kathy Pickett and my
Granddaughter Alyssa Pickett along with her
fiancé for coming to help us do all of the work. We
had a good crew from the Desert Patrol and we
served about 200 people in 3 hours. Our Potentate
Representative, Art Hermanson also helped us out
in clean up, Thank you all for the hard work on the
hottest day in June.
We have a lot of things going on the next couple of
months and it was voted on to go to the St Helens
Parade, and some of the Desert Patrol members
are going to Sheridan. We also voted to go to the
Tillamook Parade. In July there will be a parade in
Philomath and we voted to go. We also voted to go
to the Troutdale parade, going early and having
breakfast at the Troutdale lodge, then do the parade.
Some of us have voted to go to Newberg and a few are
going to Joseph.
We voted to go to Baker City, we will be going to
the breakfast Friday morning and supporting the
Caravaners breakfast, and then on Saturday morning
we will be going to the park for breakfast, and then
riding in the Parade,
That afternoon we will be going to the park for the
BBQ. and then we will be going onto the field before
the game.
We also voted to do the Bend Run on Saturday, we
also have members going to Astoria Parade. The
Golf Tournament, we are sponsoring a hole, and we
need to remember to work. Then Aumsville Parade,
Then we will have a lot of fun going to the Shrine

History: Politically Active Masons
by Noble Bill Blankinship
Masons today would have us believe that Masonry
is politically and religiously neutral. “Under the
usual Masonic restrictions” is part of our oath
today, and is meant to set a standard of propriety
during our properly “tiled” meetings.
What is often ignored is the historic record of
Freemasonry that not only was the hotbed of
political action, but in fact was instrumental in
bringing about revolutions against all forms of
tyranny, including the American revolution.
The building had been purchased by the St.
Andrews Lodge in 1764. There was a square and
compass over the front door and a copper Dragon
that had turned green through the weather. It was
a community center. Downstairs was the Tavern.
Upstairs was the St. Andrews Lodge and the Grand
Lodge of Massachusetts (Ancients). It was the
largest place for meetings in the north east end of
Boston. Historians have called it “headquarters of
the American Revolution.”
When we meet together as brothers in Masonry
and conduct the ancient rituals of Lodge meetings,
we do recognize the “meeting on the level” where
all Masons are equal and where brotherly love
prevails. However, we should also recognize that
as “Free” Masons, that we are dedicated to the
spirit of ancient Masons who were in fact “Free” of
the tyranny of Kings, Priests and tyrannies where
men were slaves and subjects to those political
states.
Today, Freemasons recognize that those ancient
founders of our order were Free because of the
education they received in a world of ignorance,
and we have sought to bring this education
to the masses of our nation of which we are
citizens. However, again, this comes with a caveat
itself, and that is the purpose of education, the
paramount purpose of creating a citizenry that is
centered on becoming responsible and informed
citizens, capable of fulfilling the promise of “being
able to govern themselves.”
This following article speaks of our early
Freemason revolutionists who took on the
responsibility of creating a new nation, Under God
and with Liberty for all, breaking the chains of
Kings, Priests and tyrannical governments.
The Boston Tea Party and
Freemasonry
By Edward M. Gair
An artist drew a picture of the Green Dragon
Tavern. Below it he wrote these words:
“Where we met to Plan the Consignment of a few
Shiploads of Tea, Dec 16, 1773”
In the upper left hand corner of his drawing he put
a square and compass. To this day no one knows
who planned the Boston Tea Party.
16
Al Kader Oasis - July 2016
Here the Boston Committee of Correspondence
was formed after a few initial meetings at Brother
Joseph Warren’s house a few doors away. Here the
Sons of Liberty held secret sessions. They wore a
jewel around their necks and were known to have a
separate language for recognition. The jewel had a
picture of the Liberty Tree on it.
The North End Caucus formed the guard here that
publicly guarded the tea ships so no tea could be
unloaded. Brother Edward Proctor (St. Andrews
Lodge) was known to be leader of this guard.
Brother Paul Revere served with this guard. Later
Brother Paul Revere served in another guard called
the Selectmen who walked the streets of Boston,
two by two, and observed the movements of British
troops before he went off on his famous ride to
Lexington. The Selectmen guard met at the Green
Dragon Tavern and took an oath of secrecy over a
Bible.
Dr. Joseph Warren, a 33 year old physician is the
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts
that meets upstairs. Paul Revere is the Senior Grand
Deacon. Both are Past Masters of the St. Andrews
Lodge. They are close friends and had come to the
St. Andrews Lodge in the same year. It is Joseph
Warren who sends Paul Revere to Lexington with a
coded message for Brother John Hancock (also of
St. Andrews Lodge).

We do not lose the ones we love,
They only go before.
Where there is everlasting life,
Where sorrow is no more.
And there the soul will always live,
And peace is everywhere.
We do not lose the ones we love,

See you at the Speedway!
by Forrest Hatch, Outer Guard
Greetings from the grass seed capital of Oregon,
also known as Linn County! As we all know the
parade season is going strong. The other day at
the Lebanon parade I had an elderly gentleman
come up to me who said, “I just want to shake your
hand and say thank you, over eighty years ago the
Shriners helped me.” What a wonderful feeling
this type of encounter brings, I am sure you all
understand.
We all know and hear about the various parades
going on however what you may not know is the
racing season is in full swing and going strong at
the Willamette Speedway in Lebanon, Oregon.
The fourth annual Shriner’s Cup Race is rapidly
approaching.
The news of this event may not have traveled
any farther then Wilsonville, so I wanted to let
the nobles and ladies know of another fine event
taking place right here in Lebanon.
The fourth annual Shiners Cup Race will be
held July 23, 2016 with the race starting at 6pm.
Nobles get in free if they wear their FEZ, ladies
are admitted at half price. The net proceeds go to
the Al Kader Transportation Fund. How can this be
you may be asking yourself, well I will tell you.
Nobel Buzz Mitchell, an upstanding member of the
Linn County Shrine Club had an idea several years
ago about raising funds for the Linn County Shrine
Club and the transportation fund. You see he is an
avid race fan who has been going to the track for
more than ten years. No he is not a driver, at least
not yet but he knows many of the speedway drivers.
Noble Mitchell brought his fundraising idea up
at a stated meeting, got the go ahead and then he
followed through. How great is that? As a result, the
Shriner’s Cup Race was started. The Linn County
Shrine Club rents the race track for the night, a
50/50 raffle is held. The club sells advertising to the
local businesses and their names are placed on a
banner which is displayed at the track.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the
Nobles of the Linn County Shrine Club for their
dedication to this wonderful event, especially Buzz
not just for his idea but for following through and
his dedication.
Come One, Come All - Join Us at the Speedway!!

A Virtual Tour of Portland’s Shriners Hospital for Children
by Noble John Smith
This is the fourth in a series of articles by Noble
John Smith, who now volunteers at the front desk of
our hospital and is a member of the new Hospital
Support Club.
Floor 4:
Many Nobles have not visited Portland’s Shriners
Hospital. This, for them, is the next article in
our floor-by-floor “tour” of that house made by
Shriners to care for children needing a renewed
life.
You exit the elevator onto the “deer” or
“mountains” floor – Floor 4. It is where Surgical
Services, Human Resources, Graphic Arts,
Clinical Research, Material Management and
Rehabilitation Services reside. One of the first
things you see after you exit the elevator and
turn right, is the Surgical Services waiting room,
with some of the best views in the building. The
doorway to Surgical Services (access restricted)
is just before the waiting area, behind which
are eight pre-and-post operation rooms and four
operating rooms. The Hospital averages about 100
surgeries a month; about 70% of these, in 2015,
were outpatient procedures.
You may need to know where Human Resources is
located if you wanted to be employed at Portland’s
Shriners Hospital. It is further on down the
hall and on your left. Clinical photography and
graphics services are processed across the hall in
the Graphic Arts department.
Clinical Research is further down the hall and is
on your left. It is there that a patient’s can opt into
20
Al Kader Oasis - July 2016
research studies to help evaluate the effectiveness
of various treatments. This differs from the more
general “Research” on Floor 6.
Walk further and you begin to see the Rehabilitation
Services rooms. Rehabilitation Services includes
Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy,
Recreational Therapy and Speech Therapy and is
second only to the Outpatient Clinic in patient visits
with over 8000 appointments each year.
The first room you come to houses the assistive
technology equipment, various power chairs and
communication devices for patients to use. The
next two rooms are used primarily for Occupational
Therapy, helping children improve upper extremity
function in order to accomplish activities of daily
living, like dressing and feeding themselves. Next
is the Physical Therapy gym, a room full of exercise
equipment and mobility devices where therapists
help patients improve their strength and mobility
to maximize independence. Photos across the
hall from the gym highlight some of our more
fun Recreational Therapy activities like skiing,
horseback riding and kayaking.
You’ll see Rehabilitation’s reception area around the
hall corner. Patients needing therapy which can best
be done in water will find the hydrotherapy pool
inviting and near the Rehabilitation Services office.
Lining the right side of the hallway are the Speech
Therapy rooms, followed by the door to the sky
bridge linking Shriners Hospital to OHSU.
Return to the public elevator. Floors 5 and 6 are
“staff only” floors so the next article will reveal them
to you via a “read-only” tour.

Shurtah Club Continued ....
attendance - including his older brother and father.
Hatch for obtaining a newer light bar for our
second Shurtah car.
The protesters grew, as a mob of people claiming to
represent the interests of the Desert Patrol arrived
via ATV. Newgard gestured at the window and said,
“You see these guys? These Desert Rats? They only
understand one thing - and that’s strength. We’re
going to bring parade participation back to the
Cyclowns. No more outsourcing to the Desert Patrol
because you know what? These guys are the real
clowns. We can do better - and we can make Cyclowns
great again.”
IS John Nerski informs me that a Noble has
offered to install the light bar.
We are now owners of a third Shurtah car, and it
is being refurbished. As any used car, we need
to go through the brakes, battery, and steering
components, etc. to be sure it is safe, and ready for
service.
Earlier in the year, we voted to donate $125 for a
¼ page Shurtah ad in the East/West Shrine game
program, and our Secretary, Noble JB Dick, has
sent in the money. Hopefully, we will attract other
Shriners who are or were Peace Officers to join
our ranks.
For those of you who have not ridden in the
parades, you are really missing out on a lot. You
get to see first-hand the appreciation of parents
whose kids have been helped by Shriners
Hospitals, and also adults that were helped. Al
Kader Shrine gets many “thumbs up,” and smiles
from the by-standers. If the sideliners at the
parade don’t warm your heart, it’s time to check
your pulse.
I humbly ask for more Shurtah Club Nobles
to attend our meetings, and participate in our
parades. If we are going to have three parade
vehicles, we need drivers and riders. All the
units and clubs that participate in the parades
collectively do more to put Al Kader before the
community than any commercials.
See you on July 27th, at the Clackamas Denny’s at
11:30am. Our Shurtah Club needs you!
Cyclowns
by Noble Patrick Sheehan
The June meeting of Cyclowns was disrupted
by unruly Kader Clown sympathizers in protest
outside Chan’s in Milwaukie. The confused
membership wondered what all the fuss was
about, until David Newgard - fresh from his latest
tour of flying biplanes for the Merchant Marines,
burst through the door in front of a hail of eggs,
lettuce and bottles thrown in his direction.
Adjusting his “Make Cyclowns Great Again”
red baseball hat, he addressed the members
present with an enthusiastic and spirited speech.
It focused on building a wall to keep the Kader
Clowns out - which they will pay for, and was
met with cheers from the crowd of Cyclowns in
22
Al Kader Oasis - July 2016
Cap’n Brant continued the meeting. Because our next
regular meeting date will be on the 4th of July, we are
tentatively scheduling a replacement meeting for July
12 at 5:30 p.m. at Chan’s prior to the Milwaukie 109
stated meeting - pending the Potentate’s approval. The
August meeting will be our annual break from Chan’s
to Rosie’s in Linton on August 1st at 5:30 p.m..
Later, the Potentate’s aid was interrupted by Newgard,
who said, “I know the Potentate - he’s a good guy. A
good guy! And what he and I have planned is going
to be huuuuuge. Believe me - you don’t know it now,
but by this time next year you’re going to be really
astounded - I mean really amazed at how huge this is.”
With that, Newgard waved to the Cyclowns in
attendance with a thumbs-up gesture and left through
a back entrance. Four Cyclowns were hospitalized
trying to get to their cars in the parking lot afterward.
No arrests were made, but video footage of the
incident is widely available on youtube.

School Teacher Pat Knapp, Noble Lowell Cook, with
$3,000 check to Portland Shriners Hospital.
Clatsop County Shrine Club reached out across
the Columbia River to Long Beach Washington
to sponsor elementary school teacher Pat
Knapp’s ‘Math Day 2016’ a fundraiser for Shriners
Hospitals.
A Patient’s Story
by Noble Rod Hevland
It was our honor to have our patient JJ & his mom
Dena ride our float at St Helens parade. Local folks &
classmates called out his name, cheering him along
the route. What better example of our parade theme
“helping children reach their goals” could there have
been?
This year, Math Day raised $3,000 for Shriners
Hospitals. What’s more, with extensive local press
coverage and local publicity, the communities in
southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon
were reminded of the significance of Shriners
Hospitals, “The World’s Greatest Philanthropy.”
Clatsop County Shrine Club President Vic Kee
announced that plans are already being made with
Mrs. Knapp for the 2017 Long Beach Elementary
Math Day.
Columbia County Shrine Club
by Ron Ellenson
The CCSC hosted a very successful country
breakfast before the St. Helens community
parade, and a well-attended picnic style lunch
after the parade for the units and Divan. Thanks
to President Noble Casey Garret and crew for
staging the day at our Shrine Center. The “tips for
Kids” jar collected over $350.00 in donations for
the patient transportation fund.
The Al Kader units were invited to participate
in the parade and are always appreciated by the
community. Our fairly new entry of units was the
hospital support trailer with hospital volunteers
and select patients who enthusiastically greeted
he parade watchers Thanks to I.S. Bob Walliker
P.P. and the hospital’s Kay Weber Ekeya and
others for making this entry possible appearance
possible. The St. Helens Masonic Lodge has a
very attractive float donated from a Lodge in
Washington, which featured Rainbow girls and
local lodge members.
We will meet informally on Thursday, June
30th for a ’work party’ at the St. Helens Shrine
building and then dark for July and August. Our
next regular meeting will be on September 29th
(the last Thursday of September) when we will
finalize our participation at the St. Helens annual
Children’s Fair at the high school commons. We
will co-host a tractor pulled hayride trailer with the
St, Helens Lodge #32. Wagon master Noble Henry
Hiemuller will be at the controls.
JJ is still our patient at Shriners.
As a toddler he was victim of shaken baby syndrome
by his babysitter (later arrested & convicted in
Columbia County). JJ almost died and had severe
injuries. As a detective in Portland, I used to specialize
investigating such cases.
His recovery is miraculous.
Over 15 yrs. Shriners has been a part of helping JJ
through rehabilitation efforts to “reach his goals”
-he has overcome even other challenges, including
bullying.
This past football season his coach made him a special
kicker in a final game locally (watch on YouTube).
JJ also just graduated High School.
It is very humbling to witness how Love to the Rescue
by a loving parent, his family & Shriners truly make a
difference.
Thanks to those who joined in the parade
