Potentate
Ill. Sir Kevin Sweeney
Nobles and Ladies All,
Well, we finally made it! 2015 is here
and your new Divan is installed. We
kicked 2015 off with a big party where we
saw a couple of new guys get pied and we
had a lot of fun! We have a lot in store
this year and hope you can join us.
First we have a year event pass. If
you were not at Installation or the Roast,
be sure to pick one up at the office. Each
person, Noble, lady, or family member
is eligible for the card. We had a special
punch made to use on these tickets. Every
event in the Calendar Book with a Train
Engine icon, is a punch event. See Nobles
David Sweeney or Jim Hodde to get yours
punched at those events. At the end of the
year, 24 punches equals a full card and
makes you eligible to trade that card for
an opportunity at a large screen LED TV,
Computer Monitor, Wireless Keyboard
and Mouse Combo, or one of two Dinner
tickets. There are 29 possible events
for punches, including each show at the
Circus. If you attend the Circus with a
paid ticket or show up to work, you can
get one punch for each show. You can buy
punches for $5 if you are running short,
and that money will go to Valeri’s First
Lady’s Project fund. This is Valeri’s and
my commitment to Membership this year.
God Bless Antioch!
ANTIOCH CRIER
Second, we will have a Salute the
Troops Event on April 18th to honor
all those who have served our Country.
Get your information into the Office or
send an EMAIL to “POTENTATE@
ANTIOCHSHRINE.COM” with name,
ending rank, dates and branch of service,
any deployments/campaigns, and any
distinctions of honor. Then plan to attend
the Event and we will honor you that day.
The Sweeney Family will be proud to
have one of our very own as the Officer
of the Day, active duty Army Captain
Benjamin Sweeney. Ben has expressed
his honor to be able to give back to those
who have stood on that wall so that he can
do what he does every day. God Bless
America!
Third, each Unit and Club should
have a Piggy Bank by now, if not please
contact the Office or send an EMAIL to
“POTENTATE@ANTIOCHSHRINE.
COM”. The Piggy Bank will be used to
collect spare change throughout the year.
You are not limited to the pig’s size, it is
your starter. I would be overwhelmed if
groups showed up with their Pigs sitting
on top of large tubs or barrels of “Spare
Change”. In October we will have a
“Calling of the Hogs” event, where these
Piggy Banks will be called home. There
will be a Pig Roast, a Hoe Down, and all
monies raised that day will go to Shriner’s
Hospitals for Children. So get your Piggy
Bank and get started! God Bless our
Children!
That’s it for now, to recap our focus
this year will be on the Children we serve,
Patriotism and Membership. Antioch no
longer follows, we lead so others can find
calm waters in our wake.
Thank you for what you do each and
every day, so that we can stand proud and
represent you for 2015! May God bless
each one of you!

A February greeting from Lady Valeri, lady of Antioch’s
Potentate Kevin Sweeney
Ladies, Nobles, and Friends,
We are in month two of our amazing journey and we can’t say Thank You enough for
your support. Until now, our kids didn’t quite understand the passion and commitment
behind being a Shriner or a Shriner lady. After experiencing the Installation and OG
Roast, our family now understands the time and dedication of Shriners to support these
kids. They have personally seen what it means to be a part of a great organization –
Shriners International. Thank You!
Installation and the OG Roast brought a lot of laughs. I chuckle as I think of all that
camouflage in one room. I thought for a moment I might be standing in the middle of
a sporting goods store. Our son laughed as he recalled someone from the back of the
room mentioning they wanted a ride on the duck attached to the remote control jeep as
it appeared during introductions. Where else could you share this much fun with family
and friends?
Our first ladies sewing, knitting, and crochet event was a blast. We look forward to
sharing more stories and wisdom in the March session. We also are packaging our first
Soldier Care Package for shipment. Our soldiers Thank You for your support and love
from the home-front. We still need names of soldiers and their information to receive
our care packages. Please include the time-frame for their tour of duty to ensure we ship
the packages to arrive while they are deployed. For those of you dedicated to the Ladies
Physical Fitness activity, it seems January was not so good for me personally but I hope
to be able to redirect my focus after the installations are complete. I truly enjoyed the
wonderful company of all our members during all those yummy dinners but it seems I
need to develop a bit more self-control when it comes to cake, pie, brownies, and all the
delicacies that come from the kitchen.
Antioch’s soldier of the month for January 2015
Antioch’s soldier of the month for January 2015 is Staff SSgt Steve E. Philpot.
Steve was born 5-31-1984 in Dayton, Ohio. Steve is married to Marissa Gleason and
is the son of Shirley Garrett and Tim Philpot. Steve’s cousins are Larry Rike and Betty
Crusenberry.
Steve graduated from Arcanum and Miami Valley Career Technology Center (CTC)
in 2003 with a Certificate in Culinary Arts! Steve loved and played all sports throughout
his life, but football was his favorite sport especially his last two years of high school!
His dream was to play college football! Steve also graduated from the Sullivan
University in Louisville, Kentucky in 2005 with an Associate in Culinary Arts! After a
couple years of working nights and week-ends at various restaurants in the Dayton area
and Ramada Inn in Cincinnati, Steve decided he needed to do more for his country and
joined the U.S. Air Force.
Airman Steven E. Philpot graduated from Basic Military Training in 2008 at
Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. Steve went on to Sheppard AFB, Texas
to become a Crew Chief for C-130’s. He was then transferred to Hurlburt Field AFB in
Fort Walton, Florida where he resides with his wife Marissa and daughter Georgia!
Steve has been on two deployments to Afghanistan. His first deployment was in 2012
for Special Operations in Bagram AF, Afghanistan. In 2013 Steve became Staff Sergeant
(SSgt).
Staff SSgt Steve E. Philpot is now on his second deployment on Special Operations
in Bagram AF, Afghanistan. He is due to come back home in early summer 2015.
Thoughts and Prayers are appreciated for Steve’s safe return home!
Other family members of Steve who are active in the Air Force include Cory Dillon
Lett (cousin) serving and deployed at present time in Bagram AF, Afghanistan. Steve’s
Cousin Benson A. Maiden is also serving and deployed at present time in Japan.
Please keep Steve, Cory, and Benson in your prayers.

SHRINE CLUB
By Jim Bentz - Secretary
Greetings from the Shrine Club of
Springfield/Clark County.
First, we hope everyone had a very
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Isn’t it amazing how quick the years go
by? Our club had a good year in 2014
and we are looking forward to another in
2015. Our Christmas Party was a great
success and we are looking forward to
our installation of officers which will
be held on January 21st with Illustrious
Potentate Kevin Sweeney presiding over
the installation ceremony. Now that the
holidays are past we can begin looking
forward to Spring and the warmer
weather.
ANTIOCH
GUN CLUB
By Noble Tom Hail
This year comes in with a big change
for the Gun Club. Since we started our
club in 2007, we have grown to over one
hundred members plus their Ladies, our
“Annie Oakleys”. The monthly meetings
have alternated between Noble Doug
Hague’s Vandalia Range & Armory and
the Alpha Lodge on Smithville Rd in
Dayton. Noble Hague’s impressive facility
was recently expanded to accommodate
large groups (like our Gun Club).
Our members get a modern and clean
environment in which to hold a meeting or
fire one of the shooting programs.
At our last regular meeting a motion
was made and passed unanimously to
move the alternate months from Alpha
Lodge to our own Antioch Shrine.
The February 11th meeting will be at
the range for our annual “Pizza Party”.
This yearly bash started 7 years ago by
then Vice President Frank Kelley who
ordered 4 pizzas for the small group.
This year we are up to over 20 pizzas and
counting! And this time the classroom
will be twice as big and have “unlimited”
space for our meal and the meeting that
follows.
Then, March 18th has us at Antioch!

PROVOST
GUARD
By Noble Tom Hail
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone from
the Provost Guard! Now that we have that
out of the way, let’s get down to what this
month of February is really all about - the
Antioch Shrine Circus!
The Divan did a lot of planning and set
the Usher Schedule (page 12 Jan. Crier)
for each unit and club. Provost will be at
each of the five shows. We look forward
to seeing you and your Lady as we all
assist the children in experiencing another
great Shrine Circus. The circus seems
to run smoother and smoother, which of
course is due to you, the Noble and your
Lady. The small adjustments learned and
implemented every year continue to make
our circus grow more successful.
To improve the Provost Guard’s role at
the shows, Chief Roger DeLong requested
an assignment presentation for our unit.
The program was given by Noble Peter
Dyer at our regular February meeting at
Roush’s Restaurant. He outlined each
Provost officer’s and Lady’s specific duty
prior to and during each show. A tip of
the fez to Noble Dyer.
See you at the circus!
We held our installation of officers
and it was very fast as all stayed in the
same chairs as last year. I would like
to remind the Mounted Patrol that we
are schedule to be ushers at the Circus
on February 8th. Please arrive at 9:30
AM for assignments. Our next meeting
is February 5th at the Shrine center. We
usually meet in the Past Potentate's room.
If any new member has an interest in
coming, please come to the meeting all
are welcome. We are always looking for
someone to be our cleanup crew at the
parades. Hope everyone is healthy and is
staying safe in this cold weather. Busting
those water troughs up for the horses is
always a never ending battle this time of
year. May God bless you and keep you
safe. Happy trails to you.
FAIRBORN
SHRINE CLUB
By Noble Matt McFarland
January was a tough month for our club
due to illness and inclement weather.
We held our stated meeting on the 8th
of January in below 0° temperatures.
Attendance was sparse but we still had
16 Nobles and ladies there to enjoy one
another’s fellowship.
Our club has been scheduled to serve as
ushers at the Circus on Saturday, the 7th
of February for the evening show (report
time is 3:30 pm). I hope you are able to
make it to the Circus to help. I think you
will find that it is a fun time.
Join me in welcoming Bob and
Marlene Wagner as the newest members
of the Fairborn Shrine Club.
Our next meeting is to be held on
Thursday February 5th at TJ Chumps on
Dayton Yellow Springs Rd. in Fairborn
beginning at 6:00pm. At this meeting we
will be installing our officers for 2015.
I will continue to serve as President,
Roger DeLong will be installed as
Vice President, and Richard Winters as
Secretary/Treasurer. Additionally we will
be discussing a few things that we hope
to accomplish this year. I hope to see you
there.
Well winter is here and it’s time to
“change the guard” at Antioch and the
Classic Cars are excited for a fun packed
year with Ills. Sir Kevin Sweeney and
the new Divan. We will be holding our
installation of officers at our Feb. 10th
meeting. Our new officers are Pres. Jim
Matthews, V.P. Jim Smart, Treasurer Dir.
Emeritus Tom Lees, Secretary Harold
Broughton and Director Rick Snider. We
are geared up for the Circus and excited
about participating. Our next meeting will
be April 14th! See you at Antioch!
MOTOR
CORPS
By Noble Pete Boyd
Hurrah! Hurrah!
One of our own is now Potentate. What
a great installation and OG roast.
Thirty of the Motor Corps nobles
participated in the Honor Guard at the
Installation and it was impressive. The
OG roast was outstanding, food and music
were superb and with this great start, we
all know 2015 will be a great year for our
fraternity.
At the OG roast the Motor Corps
Nobles were proud when forming two
long lines for the entrance and introduction
of our new Potentate, Illustrious Kevin
Sweeney. Kevin and his Lady Valeri are
extremely popular within the Corps and
we were proud to donate a large check to
enable their year to be one of the best ever
at Antioch. Virgil Neal did an outstanding
job in presenting the check and giving a
brief history of Kevin’s path leading to
this final great recognition. GOOD JOB
“SNOOPY”
In closing, we in the Motor Corps
want to thank Linda Heizer for making an
appearance and bringing us all up to speed
on Dave’s recovery in the hospital. We all
know she has been very busy and worried
and this effort, though not expected, was
greatly appreciated. This thinking of
others is what makes the Heizers great
Shriners.

Wheelers
By Noble Carl Day
The 4-Wheelers are coming off a
fantastic 2014 parade year led by our
“Cover Boy” Greg Burroughs. We
wrapped the year with a Christmas dinner
prepared by our own Rick Maynard and
his Lady Teresa. Carl Day entertained the
group with close up magic.
We said farewell to our friend and
fellow driver Dave Haines and his Lady
Terry. We wish them well as they move to
another phase of their lives.
We’re looking forward the 2015 parade
season. Contact Director Greg Burroughs
if you are interested in joining the fastest
unit in Antioch. The 4-Wheelers meet on
the third Tuesday at the Shrine Center. We
are dark in February and March.
Marching
Patrol
By the old ground-pounder
Ivan Clark Director Emeritus
Our January meeting was again held
at the Shrine Center, usual stuff, but
this time our Secretary-Treasurer Benny
Ulmer advised us that we only have 14
paid members. We need all of the patrol
members to help get the inactive members
back to the meetings and get involved
again, or new members!
This year the Patrol will be manning
one gate taking tickets for all the
performances of the circus. A big tip of
the fez goes to those patrolmen!
Director Ron Rhoades again discussed
the Great Lakes Shrine Patrol Mid-Winter
meeting.
A budget was set and approved by the
Patrol. Hotels are being sought out along
with a meeting and hospitality room. The
meeting is being set for Mid-March Saint
Patrick’s Day time frame.
At this point in time we have no idea
how many Temples from the Great lakes
will attend.
Patrolmen, we will need help setting up
and manning the hospitality room,
meeting and entertaining our guests.
Our prayers and thoughts are with
those patrolmen and their families having
health problems.
Until next month, Left, Right, Left,
Right

PIPES AND
DRUMS
By Everett Bailey, Director
On behalf of the Pipes and Drums,
I would like to express our sympathy
to Howard Hanshew and family on the
passing of Howard’s wife Adeleen.
Howard joined the band in 1974 and
served as president, and director of the
band before retiring from the band.
Happy belated birthday to Robert
Burns ( January 25, 1721 to July 21,
1796). Robert Burns is the national poet
of Scotland. He was a prolific poet and
lyricist, whose works had a huge impact
on literature around the world. His
birthday is celebrated by having a Burns
Supper, the first of which was held in
1803. A Burns Supper is a formal affair
that starts with introductions of guests and
toasting with good Scotch whiskey. Then
bagpipes play as the Haggis is carried in
and cut into serving sized pieces. At this
time the poem “Address To A Haggis” is
read and supper is served. After supper
many of Burns poems are read and the
evening ends with the singing of “Auld
Lang Syne”. Many of the tunes we play
were written by Burns

Parade
Escort
By Bruce Adamson
The weather has not been very
conducive to riding motorcycles. That
being said, every one of our members is
looking forward to the start of the parade
season. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it
again. If you are not in a unit, consider
joining one this year. It’s a fun way to
spread the word about the Shrine and our
Antioch Temple.
Azizah temple
D of N
By Princess Chaplain,
Dees Thompson
Another year is underway, and Azizah
Temple is going about its business. At the
January session we had more discussion
about our meeting day and time. A report
by the committee appointed to study this
situation will be issued this month.
In February, of course, we celebrate
Valentine’s Day. Please bring a Valentine
to the session. Do not address it to
anyone, but write a little note in it and
sign it. We will all enjoy reading what our
“valentine” says to us. Committee reports
will be given at this session.
Don’t forget the Past Queens’ pasta
dinner on February 14 – the perfect day for
a dinner out with your special valentine.
See our ad elsewhere in this publication.
Come on down!
Please make plans to attend the session
on March 19. It is election day, a time
when members should attend if at all
possible. Also, we will hold our memorial
service, in which we remember members
who have passed on in the last year.
Have you seen the TV ads about our
Shriners Hospital? Makes you proud,
doesn’t it? Remember our pledge to the
children. Bring white socks, children’s tee
shirts (S, M, L) and disposable cameras to
the February session. Our committee will
see that our gifts get to Cincinnati.

By Allison Brigitzer, Maharanee
The Elissa Shrine Guild is off to a strong start in 2015, showing our support for
Antioch’s Nobles. Elissa Ladies attended the ladies Program at the Antioch Stated
Meeting and Installation of Officers on January 9, and the Oriental Guide Roast,
honoring our own Lady Marion’s Noble, Max Richardson, on January 10.
The Elissa Shrine Guild is proud to provide face painting at the 2015 Circus! This
is one of our biggest fund raisers of the year and we would be honored to have any
Antioch Lady volunteer for this worthy cause. Please contact our 2015 Face painting
Chairperson, Anne Thorpe, at 937- 395-9865, if you would like to sign-up. No
experience is necessary, just a big heart and a desire to have fun!
On March 28, Elissa will host Breakfast with the Easter Bunny! Watch for details
in next month’s Crier.
By Ed “Squeezer the Clown” Peters
We had a great holiday season and enjoyed a little down time with our families, and we are getting charged up for the circus! The
clowns have honed their skills and have a special skit planned in honor to the memory of Stroupie Hanneford. Bill, our Ringmaster
and Honorary Funster member, asked us to perform the “Lawn Chair” skit. If you’ve never seen it, check us out at the circus!
We would like to thank our retiring officers of the unit Mick Lile and Jerry Reed, who decided to retire from their positions this
year. Jerry “Stitches” Reed served as our Treasurer for, at least, the last 15 years decided to pass the torch. His years of wise advice
and leadership will be truly missed. Mick “Willie” Lile served as Unit Director for a combined 13 years. Mick was awarded Emeritus
status by our new Potentate, Illustrious Sir Kevin “ Casey Jones” Sweeney at the Divan and Director’s installation on January 9 at
Antioch. A big , “Tip of the Fez” goes to both Jerry and Mick for all of their hard work and dedication to the Funsters!
Our new Director is Keith “Gasser” Snyder. Our new treasurer is Tom Ladow; one of our newer members. Steve “ Super Star”
Spofford returns as our Unit President this year, Mick Lile is our new Secretary, and Greg “Spanky” Newkirk will be serving as our
Sgt.-At-Arms. Congratulations and Thank You to all of our new officers fro stepping up and making a difference.
A big ”Tip of the Fez” goes to Bret “Snaptrap” Stahler on his election to the High Priest and Prophet position! Bret will reign as
Potentate in 2018. Congratulations Bret!
Hoping all your days are “Circus” days!

Monthly Soldier Care Packages in 2015
What mother wouldn’t be concerned about the care and well being of our soldiers while stationed on foreign soil? We plan to bring
a monthly tradition to Antioch in 2015 to support our soldiers abroad and provide a few conveniences for those far from home and
missing the hugs and comfort of a loved one. A tradition currently led by the Blue Star Mothers :
http://www.bluestarmoms.org/index.php?page=care
.
What can WE do?
1. We need Soldier recipients for our care packages We are requesting the following priorities for soldiers receiving our care packages
specifically those serving abroad in a war zone or area of military conflict.
#1 recipients We are requesting direct family members of our Shriners sons, daughters, grandsons, grand daughters, nephews, nieces,
etc. serving abroad in a war zone or area of military conflict.
#2 recipients Our second priority will be children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews of friend or neighbor who are s
erving abroad in a war zone or location of military conflict.

2. We need children to make home made cards to send each month to the soldiers Children can decorate the cards with crayons,
colored pencils, glitter, stickers, or whatever these creative minds select for their special card(s).
Just remember...it has to ship across the world and should last through the soldier’s tour of duty abroad.
3. We need teachers who will allow the students in their classroom to send notes and home made card each month to a soldier. We’ll
assign a teacher each month if we have enough volunteers
4. We need sponsors
each month to assist in funding the postage to ship packages to our
soldiers.
Priority Mail International rate for packages to Military FPO/APO/DPO military bases is as follows:
Priority Mail --Medium Flat Rate box --11” x 8.5” x 5.5” --$12.65 per box

GAMBLING RAFFLES
The Grand Master of Ohio has ruled in the affirmative for
lodges and 501(c)3 & (c) 10 entities like Antioch to gamble in
accordance with the laws of the state of Ohio. Before we can
proceed we must get a ruling from our legal council as to the
regulations pursuant to Antioch’s rights and responsibilities.
Therefore no club or unit may have such gaming activities until
notified by the Potentate and all requests for gaming activities
shall be in writing as to the type of activity being considered.
This ruling does not impact gaming by ladies organizations
or subordinate clubs. Your divan will have a comprehensive
informational meeting concerning gaming very soon.

Ambassadors
By Blair A. Rowley, Chief Ambassador
The Ambassadors are seeking
nominations for Ambassador from
Shrine clubs that do not have
an Ambassador. Ambassador’s
represent the Potentate to the
clubs. They meet once a month to
share club activities and receive
updates on Antioch Shrine and
communicate club concerns to the
Potentate. An Ambassador Fez is
provided. Dress is blue jacket, grey
pants, white shirt, black shoes &
socks, and an ambassador tie.
It is not necessary for the
Ambassador to be a member
of the club but preferred due to
the logistics of attending club
meetings. An Ambassador can be a
member of Antioch Shrine units.
Please contact the Chief
Ambassador with your nomination.

a seat. Do not enter from the Noble’s Entrance and sign in if you are not working some where. The
sheets at the Noble’s Entrance are used to give points for working as well as to identify the extra people
in the building without tickets. You are welcome to come up to the Oasis in the Time Warner Lounge for
refreshments during intermission, but that area is mainly for the people working.

thirty minutes before the start of the performance your group is assigned. You will receive a station assignment,

Ladies Monthly Physical Fitness Checkpoints in 2015
2015 will bring New Year resolutions and heart healthy activities to the ladies of Antioch. Ladies will receive credit for each
30 minutes of physical exercise and need to provide their monthly physical fitness hours on the last day of each month. We’ll
break the ladies into three age groups with monthly checkpoints on your progress. Our groups will be (1) The Young and Restless
–ages 21-40,
(2) The Wild and Restless – ages 41-65, and the (3) The Wise and Restless. We’ll tally the numbers monthly with quarterly
incentives to the leaders in each of the three age groups recording the most physical exercise for the past three months. However,
you can only win once in the quarterly competition but your name goes back into the hat for the final total of hours exercised per
age group from January through the end of November.
Remember ladies….this is based on an honor system! No fudging the numbers here or there to get you over the line. Your
heart WILL know the difference!
All exercise hours for the month should be emailed on the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH to
mrichardson@my.devry.edu Please do not send hours for previous months already reported.
Please Provide:
•Your Name
•The Month (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, etc.)
•The number of your physical fitness exercise hours for the current Month
One final note to all participants. Sitting in front of the computer or TV does not equate to physical exercise…at least not in
the eyes of a licensed physician. So ladies, get up, get going, and be part of the Antioch Ladies 2015 year of physical fitness!

Ladies Sewing, Knitting, Crochet, and Crafting Group
In 2015, we have several sessions scheduled to bring the ladies of all generations together to share laughter and memories as
we create items for the children of the Shrine Hospitals. If you don’t happen to sew, we’ll make fleece blankets and also encourage
ladies who are willing to teach their art of knitting, crocheting, or any other craft to other ladies and launch the beginning of many
new friendships.
The Shrine Cincinnati and Lexington Children’s Hospitals have requested our assistance in creating the following for the
children:
For Cincinnati Hospital
•Hospital surgery caps (materials - 21 inch diameter of material with 3/8 inch elastic)
•16 x 16 inch drawstring toy bags (materials – 18 x 36 inch material with 70 inch cord for drawstring)
•Fleece blankets 30 x 40 inch finished (materials - 1.25 yds of fleece)
For Lexington Hospital
•Fleece blankets 30 x 40 inch finished (materials - 1.25 yds of fleece)
The Ladies Sewing, Knitting, Crochet, and Crafting group will meet at the Shrine at 6:30 on the following evenings (ladies can
catch a ride with their nobles who are attending the Antioch Leadership meetings on these evenings):
•January 26 •March 23 •June 22 •September 28 •November 23
We’ve purchased some supplies for the caps, toy bags, and blankets. More materials will be purchased as needed. If providing
material or fleece, the hospital has requested all materials be purchased new when making items for the children.
Please bring your own supplies (yarn and needles) if you want to learn how to knit or crochet.
Come join the fun and bring your friends for an evening of laughter and sharing!
Thank you!
