Greetings to all,
May has been a very busy and successful
month, the Circus is complete and a job
well done by all. It takes a dedicated team
to pull off an event as large as the Circus,
from the Chairman to the ushers, all the
Nobles, wives, children, friends and others who make this a great venue, Thank
You All.
I attended Grand Lodge in Lewiston
with my traveling companion, Lady Peggy, and it was great to renew old friendships. We also attended the Grand Chapter
and Council banquet.
The Island Party was a fun time for all
who attended. The decorations were great,
the food was excellent and the music fit
the theme of the evening. The party attendees joined in to dance to the recording
done by the Music City Trip members, recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville.
Peggy and I, along with HP&P Robert
Turner and Lady Bonnie, were guests of
Luxor Shriners at their Spring Ceremonial
and Temple Visitation. Luxor Shriners
had nineteen candidates who became new
members.

Hello Nobles and Ladies!
I can’t believe it is almost time for the
June 22nd Ceremonial in Newport. Many
of us have been busy preparing for this
event. I wish to thank those of you who
have volunteered to assist us. I hope to
see many of you at the different events
planned for that weekend.
May 7th Potentate F. Lee and I attended
the Grand Lodge of Maine session in Lewiston. We enjoyed our stay with our Masonic family.
Anah Clowns prepared a
delicious meal for the doctors and nurses

Clinics in various communities and several referrals were made to the Hospitals.
Always remember that referrals can be
made at any time, by any Noble, to the
hospitals by calling 1-800-237-5055.
Anah will be off to the Imperial Session
in Indianapolis when you receive this edition of the Anahgram. The Love of Children Tour sendoff will be at the Shrine
Center on July 8th hosted by the Daughters of the Nile, Ankh #160. The Supreme
Queen will also be present for the sendoff.
The information for the Fall NSA in
Cornwall is in this issue and I hope we
can have a large turnout of Nobles at this
event.

Yours in faith,
Lee Kaufman, Potentate
from the Springfield Shrine Hospital. This
was held at the Bangor Masonic Center on
May 16th. Those in attendance enjoyed
the evening speaking with the doctors and
nurses and thanking them for all that they
do for the children. Anah’s Potentate, F.
Lee Kaufman, presented an award to Dr.
Drvaric and his staff for over 20 years of
traveling to Bangor for the EMMC Clinics. The clinic was held on May 17th at
Eastern Maine Medical Center with sixty
plus children/patients attending the one
day clinic.
The Island Party has come and gone.
Those attending enjoyed an evening of delicious food, a Jimmy Buffett atmosphere,
great island music, and dear friends.
Thank You for supporting this special Island Party!
Know-how is supporting the communities where we live and work.

May 29 we visited with the Academicians at the Happy China Buffet in Bangor. They are busy preparing for the June
22nd Ceremonial in Newport. During the
evening a new Noble joined their group.
It is nice to see young Nobles and their
families joining units and clubs. This is
the “future” for Shrine.
The weekend of June 1st we traveled to
Fredericton NB to attend Luxor Shrine’s
Ceremonial and visitation. High Priest
and Prophet, Robert Turner and his Lady
Bonnie traveled with us. Bonnie and I got
to meet a Shrine hospital patient, young
Mercedes who has Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy. What a beautiful little girl!

Here we are, July, the back side of summer. Parades this month will be Winslow
and Eastport on the 4th; we will have to
split the unit for this one. On the 20th part
of the unit will do St. Albans and Pittsfield, while the rest will do Lincoln. Special Olympics was our first parade wearing our new helmets. I think we will live
thru it. We will be having our golf tournament on July 27th at the Piscataquis Golf
course in Guilford; lot of great prizes plus
a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu for a hole in one
on the 6th hole.
Birthday wishes this month go to Darlene Emmons. I have the number 16 after
her name, don’t know if that is her age or
birthdate.
Anniversaries this month are Craig and
Sandy Bussell. It takes quite a girl to put
up with Craig!
Any new Nobles that would like to join
a unit, we meet the first Monday of the
month at the Shrine Center, at 700p.m. We
would love to have some new members.
Remember those Blue Lodge’s that go
dark in the winter, they are up and going
strong now. Let’s give them a hand and
enjoy the fellowship.
Until next time, SEE YA!
If you remember the days when people had a conscience, you are getting along in years.

Noble Fred Patterson, Reporter
Greetings Nobles and Ladies. For those
of you looking for my usual long article,
let me apologize right now as I don’t have
much to report. First and foremost, I need
to inform everyone in Anahland that the
Noble of the Year night is still on to honor
the life of Chief Rabban Tom Clukey. One
big change is that the date is going to be
on September 28th and not the date reported in previous Anahgrams. So mark your
calendars with this date so you won’t miss
the evening honoring Noble Tom Clukey.
Tickets are now ready and will available
from the Recorder’s office or any Second
Section member.
The June Ceremonial will be behind us
when you read this Anahgram, so stay
tuned for the August Anahgram for information on that event. Don’t forget that
there are still raffle tickets available for
the various sport vehicles being drawn
at the Potentate’s Reception on October
26th. Tickets are only $1.00 each. Good
luck to all.
With the summer months upon us we
will not meet again until Friday, September 6, 2013 at the ShrineCenter. Our annual summer party will be discussed at
our June meeting and will be posted in the
August Anahgram.
We still have Shrine glasses and Shrine
throws (blankets) available through our
Quartermaster Harland Williamson. He
can be reached at 458-8084.
July birthday wishes go out to Nobles
Matthew Clark, Robert Clifton, Jim Dunn,
Gregory Currier, Burham Gaff, Gerald
Jackson, Kristopher Rideout, Joe B. Rollins, , Andy Upham and Ladies Amy Gaff,
Dacia Nason, and Peggy Sisson.
Happy July wedding anniversary to
Adam & Jamie Beals, Doug & Robyn
Dulac, Doug & Gigi Hardison, David &
Lynn Scripture, Larry & Sharon Sherman
and Richard & Jeanette Tardiff.
Until next time, have a safe and enjoyable summer.
The June Ceremonial is
behind us. . .

I pledge allegiance to my flag and

one nation under God, indivisible,

That tingling, itching sensation that some people mistake for ambition is only inflammation of the wishbone.

Tri-County Shrine Club and the Knights
of Columbus held their 45th annual meeting on the 15th of May at the K-C Hall
in Dexter. That’s right, 45 consecutive
years that these two fine groups have been
breaking bread together. After a libation
hour hosted by the Knights, the meeting
was called to order by Grand Knight John
Parola. The invocation was given by PP
Recorder Larry Hersom. Flag Salute was
led by Grand Knight Parola.
After an excellent meal put on by The
Bakers Table from Corinna, Grand Knight
Parola proceeded to introduce the head
table. He first introduced President of TriCounty Shrine Club Doug Dulac. President Dulac then introduced the Shriners
half of the head table, Secretary David
Mosley, Treasurer Marty Taylor, VP Dan
Costain and Illustrious Potentate F. Lee
Kaufman. Grand Knight Parola then introduced the Knights half of the head table,
Nick Grass, Commander of the Maine
State Police Tac Team, Chris Tremblay,
Maine State Police Tac Team, Randy Keaton, Member of the Maine State Police
Tac Team, Chris and Randy are both native sons of Dexter, State Warden John
Deetjen, Financial Secretary Richard Bilodeau and Treasurer Lee Hersey. Com-
mander Grass gave a very informative talk
about what his Tac Team does. There were
many questions asked by the Knights and
Nobles. One question that is frequently
asked of the Team, why do they travel so
fast when responding to a call. Commander Grass commented, would you want us
to take our time if a member of your family was involved in a hostage or shooting
situation?
The Black Camel has entered Tri-County
again, he has called home to that Celestial
Lodge above Noble Nate Driscoll. He will
be missed by the members of Tri-County.
Winner of the 50-50 raffle was Knight
Gaeton Landry. Ambassador T-Bob Buckland was presented with a nice picture of
himself; he is going to use it in the distant
future for his funeral picture at the funeral
home.
The staff of The Bakers Table was brought
out of the kitchen and given an ovation by
the Knights and Nobles for the fine meal
they provided. The exchange of checks by
both organizations was handled by President Dulac and Grand Knight Parola. This
fine tradition of meeting between the two
groups started in 1968= in the old American Legion Hall in Corinna.
Always work on Membership, not only
for the Shrine, but your local Blue Lodge.
If you haven’t sent in your tickets for
Doug’s Basket, please do so promptly.
This is our major fund raiser for Tri-County Shrine.
After all is said and done – There is more said than done.

Greetings from Schoodic Shrine Club:
Sorry the June column didn’t make it into
the Anahgram, it must be lost somewhere
in cyber space.
We held our May meeting back at the
Congregational Church Parish Hall in
Dennysville on the 15th. Enjoyed a delicious ham dinner. Our Noble president,
Bud Kneeland, welcomed us all and turned
the meeting over to our Noble secretary,
Dennis Bryant. Noble Bryant informed us
of the events going on with Anah Shriners.
He also informed us of the untimely passing of Chief Rabban Thomas Clukey. Our
thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Brother Brian Mays and I visited Noble
Bud Chaffee at the Calais Hospital the
other day. Bud was in good spirits and we
had a nice visit. He will be moving back to
the nursing home in Machias and I know
he would love to have a visit from Nobles
and Brethren.
The Lodges in the 2nd District have just
finished the “Bikes for Books” program
and 92 bikes and helmets were given out
to elementary students from Princeton to
Lubec. If you are not familiar with this
program, ask your Lodge Master. I know
he will be glad to tell you all about the
program.
Our July meeting will be held at Eastern
Lodge No. 7, Eastport,
on July 24th at 5:30 pm. Plan to attend
and bring another Noble with you.
We are hoping to have our Divan Visitation at the Princeton Rod & Gun Club on a
Sunday in August. Will let you know next
month.
‘Til next time!

With a deadline of June 5th for the July
Anagram there is not much to report on,
having the Ceremonial a week later than
usual makes quite a difference in time
frame of assembling the information that
goes in our monthly messenger. Usually
when we have a Ceremonial Jerry extends
the deadline so we can get the Ceremonial
information in the next publication. Having been involved in so many Ceremonials I usually have most of my article written in advance and all I have to do is add
the hard figures. Not going to happen this
year. I will comment on our performance
at the Ceremonial in my August report.
In closing Dean, Alden and I do want to
thank all of you Directors who helped
make this a memorable moment for our
newly created Nobles. Whenever I have a
chance to address the new Nobles I always
encourage them to look around and introduce themselves to one another because
it’s very possible that one of them will be
Potentate one day.
I also want to mention our 2nd annual
picnic to be held on Saturday, August the
24th at Richard and Vickie Otis’ camp on
Swan Lake . We start gathering around
noon for some social time and later we
will partake in some burgers and dogs. If
any of you have a special salad or dessert
you would like to share I will volunteer to
sample it
Most Blue lodges go dark in the summer
but that doesn’t mean you have to stop recruiting for the Shrine. We have to get our
numbers up.
Until next time, be good to one another,
stay out of the hot sun, mow your lawn,
weed your garden and swat black flies.

It is hard to believe but 2013 is half gone.
It is great to have warm weather and fresh
veggies from the garden again. And…to
be out and about with the side-by-side and
back at Schoodic Lake. Summer months
are by far the best time of year.
The June meeting will not be held until
June 19th so that meeting will be reported
on in my next article. Please take note that
our July meeting was changed to the 11th
due to the stated meeting date falling on
the 4th of July holiday. It is scheduled to
be held at the Lee Pellon Center in Machias. I will report on this meeting in the
September issue of the Anahgram.
Donnie Wright has gone back into the
hospital for more testing but I am told that
it will only be for a few days so should be
home by the time you read this. Our
thoughts and prayers go out to Donnie
Johnson and family who just lost his wife
Barbara this past week.
The June Ceremonial weekend is fast approaching and will be over by the time
you receive your Anahgram. I am sure
that a good time was had by all who attended.
A Field Day is scheduled in Dexter for
August 10th. If you are planning to attend, mark your calendar so you won’t
forget it.
Happy Birthday wishes for July go out to
Past Potentate Clyde Reynolds, Runtz
Farnsworth, Joyce Pinkham, Velma Orcutt, Esther Pellon, Forrest DeMeyer, Janice White, Bernadette Beal, Suzanne Fox
and Robert Wood. Anniversary wishes to
Ricky & Bethany Foss, Dick & Judy Farnsworth, Richard & Jolene Farnsworth,
Brad & Shannon Prout, Forrest & Anita
DeMeyer, Julian & Janice White, and Dan
& Janice Thompson.
Until next month, enjoy the warm weather and your families and friends.

Hello Fellow Academicians:
Happy Independence Day! Did you
all know that the vote in the Continental
Congress in 1776 to separate from Great
Britain actually occurred on July 2nd?
Yup. Two days later on the 4th they voted
to ratify the written Declaration of Independence document which was signed by
members at various points in time over the
next few months. Many thought that July
2nd would be Independence Day. But they
decided to use the 4th. Anyhow, it is all
about celebrating independence which is
the important thing.
A belated customary gift of $25 has been
sent to the Springfield Hospital in memory
of our departed brother and longtime Academicians member Randolph Adams. He
was a veteran, an active member of the
Masonic bodies, and a very active member
of the community having been involved in
several organizations including serving in
leadership positions. He is very missed by
his friends and family.
Congratulations to Ed Leighton who has
completed culinary school. Best of luck to
you, Ed, in your new profession.
As of this writing we have not yet had
the June Ceremonial, so more on that next
time.
We had a very good meeting at Happy
China Buffet on May 29th with about 30
Nobles and Ladies in attendance including
Potentate Lee and Lady Peggy. One thing
they spoke about was the fun spring trip
to New Orleans, Nashville, and Memphis
with lots of great sites including Graceland, great music, and great food. Lady
Peggy even got to play a piano that was
played by Elvis. Donnie Copeland and his
Lady Virginia went on that trip and reported it was a wonderful adventure.
Thanks very much to Barry Woodard
who once again has done a terrific job selling Anah.
We are looking forward to the upcoming
field day’s events, the picnic in September, and the October meeting in Shriners
annual raffle tickets for which the unit gets
a percentage. Great job Barry! More on all
this via emails and Anahgrams to come.
Have a great July everyone. And, as always, don’t hesitate to contact me at 9892617 or rbilancia@roadrunner.com with
any news, comments, concerns, gossip,
jokes, outright lies, or just plain old complete and utter nonsense that you would
like to generously share with our Nobles,
Ladies, and Anah Shrinedom in general.

THE ANAHGRAM
Noble Lyman Blyther, Reporter
I open this report with some very sad
news. Barbara Johnson passed away on
June 1st. If you would like to contact
Donnie, his email is donj112@myfairpoint.net and his mailing address is 948
Main Street in East Machias, ME 04630.
Donnie said that Barbara loved going
camping with our group in the early days
when Donnie came up with the idea of the
Anah Kampers and became our “founding
father”. He requested that friends donate
to the Anah Kampers in lieu of flowers. I
am sure we all feel touched by how special they both must think our group is.
On a brighter note, Holly Sinford had
her hip replaced and, according to Billy,
she is home and doing well. Her email
is gramppeep@yahoo.com and her mailing address is 179 High Head Road, East
Machias, ME 04630.
We had our Spring Camping Outing at
the Narrows Too in Trenton in May. What
a beautiful spot and we had such great
weather. They have a beautiful clubhouse
and were great people to deal with. We
had Bingo Friday night after our Pot Luck
Dinner. The next day brought Potty, Hot
Dog Lunch, Chinese Auction and a few
played Cribbage and Poker. Donuts were
provided Sunday morning. In Potty, First
Place went to Darrell King and John Currier and Second Place went to Ellen King
and Dianne Carter. For the first time anyone could remember in our Potty history,
one team got skunked (we won’t name
names). In Cribbage, Allen Chase and
Bonnie Whitney took first and Sonny and
Faith Colburn came in second. In Poker,
Sylvia Currier came in first, Cindy Blyther
second and Bonnie Chase came in third.
Our next event will be the Blueberry
Festival in Machias on August 16-18 at
the Lee Pellon Center parking lot (behind
Subway). The website for the festival is
www.machiasblueberry.com. Those who
would like usually get together for a Pot
Luck appetizer on Friday at 6:00 pm and a
Pot Luck supper at 6:00 PM on Saturday
night. We do not have any other planned
events as most people just want to enjoy
the festival. Cindy and I would like to invite those coming in Thursday to come to
our camp for a seafood chowder at 5:00
that night. Please give Cindy a call at
321-693-5110 or 207-255-3842 or email
us at lblyt@yahoo.com by August 1st if
you plan to come so she knows how much
chowder to make. We will give you directions to the camp when you call.
Our fall (and annual business) meeting is
at Balsam Woods in Abbott on September
6-8. Election of officers is on the agenda
so please consider running for an office
or persuading a fellow Kamper to do so.
Reservations for Balsam Woods should
be made by July 15th by calling 207-8762731. Tell Matt or Jamie you are with the
Anah Kampers.
July Birthdays are: Nancy Bunker, Greg
Currier, Ray Ellis, Ron Green, Gil Lanctot, Perley Merrick and Carol Miller.
July Anniversaries are: Wally & Lorena Fenlason, Roland & Dottie Herrick,
Doug & Cheryle Monson and Dan & Jan
Thompson.
As always, if there are any errors or
omissions or you have any news, call me
at 321-693-5717 or email me at lblyt@yahoo.com.

The Chanters had a great time at the Special Olympics Parade. It’s always great to

the best one the Chanters participate in - in
my humble opinion.

Mike Murphy
Reporter
Greetings Nobles and Ladies:
Another month of fun and excitement
is upon us. The Lads and I had a great
time at the Husson Graduation. It was
held in the Bangor Auditorium. Husson
has grown so much that the Graduation
services no longer fit inside the Husson
gym. Because Husson has a desire to keep
graduates and guests dry and our weather
being so unpredictable, they have reserved
the new Auditorium for the next several
years. I’m not sure how the band made
out during our traditional College of the
Atlantic performance. They traditionally
have guests and graduates sit under a large
tent. We march them in, and then march
out. So I suspect that the Lads got wet in
the process.
Our next event is a weirdly early parade
considering the amazingly remote nature of the community. I’ll be getting up
around 4am so that I can leave before 5
so that I can be on the ground in Machias
by 8am to dress and tune. We follow that
up with the Ceremonial in Newport and
then the 4th of July in Bar Harbor. We are
going to participate in the annual Scottish
Tatoo on July 13th. Scottish Tattoos are
a military style performance that involves
quality bagpipe music instead of ink.
As promised a couple months ago, I am
going to try to determine which Shrine
Unit would the cast of the Dukes of Hazzard be in. I’ll start off with my ol’ pal
Boss Hogg. Boss being a moonshiner
would be right at home in the NASCAR
unit in his younger days, but given his
leadership qualities and prominence in the
community Boss would make a great Potentate. I think Roscoe and Enos would
be great in the Keystone Kops. Cletus
(Bosses nephew and one of the deputies)
would make a great clown. Cooter would
defiantly be in the one of our fine motorized units. I can see him driving the tow
truck hauling the little cars that broke
down. I’m thinking about Bosses nephew
Hewie Hogg; he was too useless to be of
any service to anyone so he wouldn’t be
in the Shrine, because it would help others. Sheriff ‘Big’ Ed Little was only in 10
episodes, but who can deny that he would
be great Oriental Guard. He’d look right
in place with a sword in his hand. On the
other hand he always wore a motorcycle
helmet, so maybe he would have been a
key member of the Motor Corps. Finally,
what you have all been waiting for, which
unit would Bo and Luke be in? They
wouldn’t be in a unit. While they practiced charity and were the Robin Hoods
of Hazzard county, at what point did they
ever patiently submit to the rule of law.
Observing the rule of law is one of the
most valuable tenants of civil society and
is a characteristic of what makes men Masons. Sure you are saying Boss and Roscoe were crooks and how could they be in
the Shrine and not Bo and Luke? While
Boss and Roscoe had ethical issues, they
were elected by the citizens of Hazzard
County. Bo and Luke never respected that
and I don’t think they would be good examples of what makes us Masons.
Which brings me to a point, one of the
most important tasks that we have as Masons is voting in our lodges. We are obligated to vote for new members, to make
sure that they are just and upright members
of society. We are also tasked with voting
for the normal business of the lodge. We
have the ability to vote or not vote to reimburse the Secretary for postage for the
Trestle Board. Of course if you decide to
do that, he’ll quit and someone else will
have to be Secretary. Given what I know
about the job and most lodges, if the lodge
Secretary wanted a heated massage chair
he’d get it, because no one else wants the
job.
Our fraternity offers much, and asks
little. I played for a departed brother a
few weeks ago and his widow hugged and
thanked me. She said that her grandson
wants to join our lodge when he is old
enough. Our departed brother was a fine
man; he and his wife raised a really nice
family. He has 3 sons who joined the craft
and his grandson may join. It all starts
with a vote. We can all participate in the
process.
Until next month, be safe and be blessed.

We have been holding our Flags high

month’s report.
We are still looking for Nobles to join
in our Flag Unit as many of our members
have had the Flags for many years and it
is their time to step back and let others triumph with pride.
Upcoming parades in July will be Bar
Harbor, in August we will be attending
Dexter and in September it will be in Ellsworth.
We are planning our annual cookout and
kayak trip on the 13th of July. We will go
down the river in Brownville Junction with
a cookout at Arthur and Julie’s house after.
Just a reminder about selling the raffle

Families of Maine (Families and Children
Together) picnic at Fort Knox in Prospect.
Gizmo reports it was hot, hot, hot at the
First Annual Piscataquis Heritage Hot
Air Balloon Festival on June 1 when he,
Pooch, Fuz, Ducky, Swish, and Coota appeared at this event to twist balloons and
walk about to entertain the crowd. Unfortunately, no clowns got lifted skyward
in the basket of a hot air balloon—what
a bummer! Better luck next year, guys.
Meanwhile, back in Bangor---Fou, Piggy,
Sweet-P, and Ted EB entertained a large
crowd of children at the monthly Home
Depot Children’s Workshop.
As I write this, the Special Olympics
Summer Games parade will step off at
UMaine in Orono in just two days. This
event certainly represents the starting
point of the summer parade season. Let’s
all get out there and raise some serious
donations to support the World’s Greatest Philanthropy—Shriners’ Hospitals for
Children. Remember, no one stands so
tall as when they stoop to help a child.
Until the next Anahgram, get out there
and enjoy Summer 2013 before it, too, becomes just a memory.
Summer is here and both the weather
and requests for clowns at various events
are really heating up. Weekends are
really beginning to book up. By the
time you read this, the Newport Summer
Ceremonial will be but a fond memory.
Hope we created a lot of new Anah Shriners that day.
The unit donated and catered the annual
banquet for visiting doctors from Springfield Shriners Hospital and their staff on
May 16 at the Bangor Masonic Center.
I understand that about seventy people
were in attendance and everyone had an
excellent meal and enjoyed themselves.
The very next day, Babycakes, Div-It,
Fou, Papi, Petals, and Scooter got up very
early to entertain the children who had appointments with the Springfield docs at
EMMC for the hospital clinic. Clown ladies Janice Young and Karen Kidder were
kept out of mischief that day registering
patients and running x-rays back and

THE ANAHGRAM
Shriners Hospitals for Children – Boston
Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the Music Therapy Program
At Shriners – Boston, the music therapy program was first introduced in 2001, as the
patient care team was researching additional services to improve pediatric burn care
and pain management. The program began small with one therapist and has grown into
a department with two full time music therapists as well as student assistants. Shriners
– Boston is committed to providing the best and most innovative ways to address the
needs of the patients. With this commitment, the Music Therapy program has become
an integral part of the care plan for the children who are treated here.
Music Helps to Heal.
Four-year-old Estiven receives musical therapy to help heal his burned arm. While he
plays along with an ipod, a physical therapist stretches his arm and readjusts his cast.
Later, he will practice reaching and hitting a drum as a way to improve his mobility.
Three-year-old Angelina sustained burns to most of her small body. Her parents say the
music therapy she receives in her hospital room lifts her spirits and helps takes the focus
away from her severe injury.
The significance of music therapy also helps the staff at Shriners-Boston. Music therapy
has been known to ease anxiety levels and distract from the pain of an injury. It provides
comfort to both staff and patients alike.
Shriners Hospital Changed My Life Forever
By: Stephanie Thibault
From the time I started walking my parents could tell that there something wrong with
my legs. I still remember crying myself to sleep every night and waking up from a dead
sleep screaming in agony. After many of doctor’s appointments and countless referrals
to specialists I was finally referred to Shriners; however the diagnosis was the same: “It’s
just growing pains.” Defeated my family and I gave up on finding a diagnosis and I realized at the age of eight that I would have to live with pain for the rest of my life.
A year later we received a phone call, the message was simple: “I have been thinking
about your daughter, and I think she has rickets.” Dr. Lawrence Zemel, a doctor who I
had only met once was still thinking about my case a year later.
After a simple blood test it was confirmed, I had x-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. I
remember that day so clearly; I sat on the beach with my mother and cried with joy. My
pain had a name.
Ever since that day, Shriners Hospital and its staff, especially Dr. David Drvaric, made
it their mission to give me the quality of life I deserved. They spent countless hours creating a treatment plan: deciding which medications I should take, making a leg brace and
performing surgeries to correct the bowing of my left leg.
Shiners allowed me to go from standing on the sidelines, watching my childhood flash
by my eyes, to participating in my childhood. For the first time in my life I was not in pain.
I can honestly say that Shriner’s Hospital for Children changed my life forever.

Wishing for two sunny days in July:
#1 The “Love for the Children Tour Bus”
will be in Maine for the kickoff celebration on July 8th at Webb’s RV in Bangor at
11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. A light lunch will
be served. This celebration event is hosted
by Ankh Temple and Anah Shriners. Hoping many Shriners and Daughters of the
Nile members can be there and witness
this motor coach enveloped by a beautiful complete wrap which will promote
the Daughters of the Nile Foundation, the
Shriner’s Hospitals for Children®, the
Shriner’s International & the Daughters
of the Nile. The motor coach has been
exhibited inside the Gaylord Texan Convention Center during Supreme Session in
Grapevine Texas and on display in Indianapolis during Imperial Session. Following the kickoff celebration and the Official
visit to Ankh Temple on July 8th, Supreme
Queen Margaret Ann Risk will be traveling to 97 subordinate temples and 16
Shriner’s Hospitals for Children®. The
remainder of her visits will be done in the
traditional mode of travel, by plane & car.
The travels of the Supreme Queen cover a
9.5 month time span and will cover in excess of 25,000 miles. Stated Linda Trible,
President of the Daughters of the Nile
Foundation, “This is the first time something of this magnitude has been done by
the Daughters of the Nile in cooperation
with Shriners International and Shriners
Hospitals for Children®, and we are hoping for a great response.” As Past Queen
Bev and Noble Harold Polley will be operating this motor coach, all in Maine will
anxiously await news and pictures of their
travels. We anticipate that the traveling
“Billboard” will be seen by many across
the country and will promote awareness of
the Daughters of the Nile Foundation and
the International Shrine and the Shriner’s
Hospitals for Children®.

THE ANAHGRAM
Summer has arrived at last, and Anah
Nobles and their Ladies are busy . . . unit
activities, parades, Special Olympics, barbecues, summer outings, Ceremonial, and
preparations for the Northeast Shrine Association in Cornwell, Ont.
I came across some interesting material the other day while sifting through
some old Anah historical documents. We
were under the assumption that this year
was Anah’s 50th Anniversary Circus at
the Bangor Auditorium. However, while
cleaning out a closet full of old dusty documents I discovered a Bangor Daily News
Circus insert, such as we now distribute
at Circus time. This was dated October
18, 1924 under the leadership of Ill. Potentate George W. Wescott. The headlines
read “SPECIAL NOBLES EDITION ANAH TEMPLES THIRD ANNUAL INDOOR CIRCUS Oct. 20 to Oct. 25, 1924
AT THE BANGOR AUDITORIUM”. It
featured circus stunts, Barney the dancing
horse, January the unrideable mule, Jesse
Lee the contortionist, Rae & Rae on the
revolving ladder, cyclists, springboard artists, dogs, horses and clowns. So we now
know there were circuses during the first
three years that Anah was chartered, 1922,
23 & 24.
In that same edition an ad for John T.
Clark Co., a men’s clothing store, advertised for men to “come in and pick out
your finest suit and overcoat so you can
look your best to attend the Circus”. A big
contrast from today’s “jeans and a Shrine
t-shirts”, the price of the Bangor Daily
News, Oct. 18, 1924, Saturday edition
was three cents! I am going to continue
my research to see how many years we
have actually sponsored a Circus.
Important announcement: Through
a collaborative decision by Anah’s Divan, it was decided to initiate new office
hours for the summer months. During
the months of July and August the Shrine
office will be closed on Fridays. However, it will continue to be open Monday –
Thursday from 8-12 and 1-4 pm. Regular
office hours will resume after Labor Day.
Wishing you all a healthy, happy and safe
summer!

Anah Band has been very busy starting
off for our season of Parades and Festivals. We had a wonderful time in the Special Olympics parade at the University!
The skies threatened rain but not a drop
fell on us as we rolled down those tightly
packed streets. The crowd went wild over
our parade favorite “It’s a Small World”.
That parade also introduced our backup
Wagon Master Noble Jon Lessor to our
group. He was kind enough to volunteer
to fill in as needed and we will need him
soon due to Corey Smart’s upcoming knee
surgery. It’s great to have the volunteers
that we have to help out as needed. Certainly cannot forget all of our friends that
join us with their instruments on our parade float either, we couldn’t do it without
them!
Machias’s 250th celebration was a great
opportunity for us to travel and to spread
our music throughout the state. We played
the traditional music that goes well at a
town’s anniversary such as; When the
Saints go marching in, Bill Bailey, Rock
Around the Clock, You’re a Grand Old
Flag, Yankee Doodle, and Tie a Yellow
Ribbon. Always a good time travelling
and raising money for the hospitals with
our music. Ceremonial was also a great
time as we got to celebrate in my hometown of Newport. Very proud to have been
a part of the fun.
Our thoughts remain with our wagon
master Corey Smart as he prepares for
knee surgery, he always does a great job

parades and a wonderful job of setting us
up! We are very thankful to have Noble
Lessor ready to step in to assist, now if we
can just get him to pick up an instrument!
We are still looking to add some new
musicians to our group; we desire to play
some more diverse music and more members would make that job a little easier!
Brass, wind, piano, guitar, bass, or piano.
Lessons and instruments provided to any
and all who will be willing to learn something new. Two Mondays a month for a
practice commitment plus some parades
to boot. Practices are currently being held
in Bangor at the Shrine Center
Remember to find that experienced
player or an adventuresome Mason to be
a noble and take part with us, they are out
there. Non-Shriners are allowed to perform with us for any unofficial events so
if you know someone who would like to
play that is not a Noble, have them call us.

Greetings Nobles and Ladies, by the time
you’re reading this the June Ceremonial
will have come and gone. The Funsters
extend a huge welcome to all the new
Nobles and their respective Ladies and we
look forward to getting to know all of you.
At our May meeting we discussed which
upcoming parades we are attending and
which ones we regretfully cannot make.
We also passed around a backup Circus
attendance sheet to see who made what at
the Circuses on an honor system-type of
thing. If you haven’t checked your attendance off, please come to the next meeting or call Todd to let him know!
Birthday wishes for the month of July

JULY 2013
At this writing, the Special Olympics in
Orono is only two days away. This traditionally begins our parade season. Much
last minute cleaning and maintenance
of our wheelers is yet to be done. Like
many other Anah Units, our calendar is
filling rapidly and requests are still coming. Many of our new members will be
assigned a wheeler of their own as senior
members place themselves on spare status.
The June Ceremonial in Newport is
rapidly approaching. We Wheelers will
be ready. As always, on behalf of Anah
Shrine and Potentate F. Lee Kaufman, we
Wheelers will “ride with pride”.
Best wishes and a happy July anniversary
to Nobles and Ladies Chuck and Nancy
Wood, Ralph and Julie Robshaw, Jerry
and Carla McLean, Bill and Louise Holyoke and Sheldon (the mayor of E. Orland
) and Sandie Heath. We also offer happy
July birthdays to Lady Louise Holyoke
and Nobles Warren ( Sugar Bear ) Calder
and Jerry McLean.
Jane T., hope you’re feeling better.
‘Till next month, Teddy TaTa reporting
and forth to Portland quite a bit. Whoops!!
I should have said driving--everyone
knows I can’t run that fast! P.S. She’s doing great. After this, I probably won’t be
able to catch up with her.
Heard a rumor that Wayne’s new boat
goes about 60-70 MPH and then one Noble told me - Bill - that’s when he tows it
behind his truck. Then I realized he drives
a Chevy so it can’t even go that fast. Also
heard he has moved to his castle on the
pond.
Hope Noble Forrest DeMeyer has a lot of
fireworks on is birthday--the 4th.
Also was talking to Capt. Carroll Chandler of the Lobster Boat Unit. They are
looking for a few good seamen to fill some
vacant spots in their unit. Check with any

The May 7th meeting was held at Pat’s
Pizza with 27 members present. Old and
new business was discussed. The meeting
adjourned around 7:10. About ten members attended the June 4th meeting not realized it had been cancelled. Sorry about
those Nobles, I guess I wasn’t informed
either. At this time, the club is in recess for
July and August, and I guess June fell into
that category.
I hope everyone is looking forward to the
lobster feed at Howard Heath’s. Will have
more news in next month’s report. I’ll try
to keep everyone informed of the next

Shriners International Experiences
Worldwide Interest and Expansion
For many years, Shriners International
consisted of 191 temples in four countries:
the United States, Canada, Mexico and
Europe. Thanks to new worldwide interest in the organization, ha number is increasing. As a result of the great work by
the international development committee,
the fraternity has been expanding overseas
at a rapid pace.
“I’m very excited about the international
interest we’ve had the past year and I look
forward to seeing membership continue to
thrive,” said Past Imperial Potentate Nick
Thomas, chairman of the committee.
In the past two years, there have been
three new temples added. At the 2010
Imperial Session two temples – one each
in Puerto Rico and The Philippines – received their charters. This past July in
Denver, at the 2011 Imperial Session,
Emirat Shriners of Heidelberg, Germany
became the 194th temple.
In addition, legislation was passed allowing dispensation – one of the first steps
toward forming a new temple – for Agila
Shriners of Mindano, The Philippines.
In addition to the new temples, Shrine
Clubs have formed in Puerto Rico, The
Philippines, Brazil, Bolivia, Germany,
Italy and Australia. There is also growing interest in forming Shrine Clubs in
several other countries. In order for these
clubs to one day be chartered as temples,
they must show a gain in membership and
create nobles of the Master Masons who
signed the petition required to obtain dis-
pensation status which lasts a year.
This past year, the number of established
international Shrine Clubs rose from 33
to 53. On an individual level, the number
of creations internationally has increased
from 118 to 1,193 since 2007.
“The relationships developed overseas
are an integral part of the fraternity’s future and success.” Said Imperial Potentate
Mike Severe. “I really appreciate everything Nick Thomas and the rest of the
committee have done to spread the work
about our wonderful fraternity.”
A New Flag is Created
After the fraternity’s official name
change to Shriners International, a new
flag was designed. In response to the global growth, changes to protocol regarding
the display of flags and playing on national anthems at Shriners events were made.
These changes were communicated to all
temples in a revised protocol pamphlet
that can be found on the Shriners Village
website.
Communicating at an International Level
To better serve our current international
members and to aid recruitment efforts,
we are continuing to develop appropriate
communication items. Some printed materials are now available in English, Spanish and French; beashrinernow.com can
be viewed in English, Spanish, German,
French and Portuguese, and we are working toward having Shriners Village available in multiple languages.
In addition, one of the biggest challenges
– and accomplishments – of the international development committee this past
year was the creation of a handbook for
temples sponsoring international Shrine
Clubs. The handbook includes sections
about the vision and mission, approval
processes, responsibilities, ritual and protocol.
Clearly our fraternity is meeting a need
around the world, it is wonderful to be a
part of the enthusiasm and commitment of
our international Brothers.
If weather bureaus were really honest, they’d refer to themselves as non-prophet organizations.
