It has been busy representing Anah Shrine at many events. The month started with the Anah Association election of new officer on the 2nd. They elected and installed me as President, Steve Trimm as Vice President and Larry Hersom as Recorder. They also reelected Denny Smith and elected Harold Sherwood as a new member replacing Sonny Crocker. We all want to thank outgoing President Jesse Thomas and Sonny Crocker for all their years of service and hard work. The first weekend in February, Bonnie and I with Roger and Julie Grindle attended the Aleppo Shrine visitation in Danvers, MA. The weekend was fun and we visited with many of our counterparts in the Northeast Shirne Association. They all are very excited about the Notheast Shrine Mid Winter visit in Fredrickton NB in March. There are plans for several educational workshops and hospital presentations from Boston, Springfield and the Canadian Hospital. During the week of February 13th we attended the Wheelers Super Supper. We listened and danced to some wonderful music from DJ Sonny Beal. We had a great meal put on by the Second Section. On Tuesday, I attended the Capital Campaign committee meeting and the Divan meeting. Then on Wednesday the 17th, Anah Association had a meeting and voted and signed a contract to sell our Main Street building. The closing date will be no later than April 14. From the Association meeting we traveled out to Country Side Restaurant in East Corinth to attend the Tri County Shrine Club meeting. We visited with many old and new friends and enjoyed one more great meal. The weekend of the 20th we had the pleasure of attending the Clowns Comedy night at the temple. The three comedians were very funny and we all laughed a lot. If you missed this you should mark your calendar for the next time they do this because it was special and very enjoyable. Tuesday the 16th I worked at the temple. Then attended a Smart Team and Membership meeting by phone. There is a lot going on with these two committees and every member of Anah is a member of the Membership Team. We need your help, please reach out to your Masonic friends and invite them to attend some of our events at the temple and the shrine clubs. They will see all the fun and fellowship we have and want to join Anah Shriners. On Thursday of that week Dean Hoke and I traveled to Boston for the Shriners Hospital for Children-Boston Board of Governors meeting. Mark your calendars for the Anah Shriner Circus in Bangor from April 29 to May 1. We will then travel to Presque Isle for the Aroostook Anah Shrine Circus from May 5-7th. Everyone that attends the Anah Shrine Circus comes away with a lot of new friends. Please come and volunteer to work the Circus. Also the Clowns, Highlanders, Funsters, Public Relations and the Divan will have a parade at the Bangor Mall on April 23rd to promote the Anah Shrine Circus. The June Ceremonial is coming soon so mark your calendar and make your reservations. This will be a joint Ceremonial with Kora at Point Lookout in Northport ME on June 17-18. We hope you all will join us for this ceremony that will be full of fun and fellowship.

The Circus is coming! April 29 & 30 and May 1, 2016 in Bangor May 5,6 and 7, 2016 in Presque Isle We are a few weeks away from one of the most exciting time of the year to be a Shriner. Soon we will be setting up and getting ready for the shows. It is a lot of work and takes many people to make this a success. The Circus Committee would like to thank you all ahead of time for helping out and volunteering your time. If you have not worked a Circus in a while or are new to the Shrine, please come and help out if you have some time. It doesn’t have to be every show or all day, it might be you only have a couple of hours to help, we can find something for you to do. There will be a manpower table set up when you first enter the doors upstairs. Please sign in and get a wristband for that day. This is something the Cross Center asked us to do, so we know how many people are in the building at any given time. We have a lot on new acts this year and will have Elephant and Pony rides before and at intermission. This was a great success last year and we think it will be even better this year. For those of you that attend the Presque Isle Circus, you may notice something missing this year. George Watson stepped down from being the Circus Chairman for Presque Isle Circus. He led the group up there for over 30 years. If you see George hanging around up there please thank him for his great leadership and support he has given to us to make the Circus a great success year after year. George, I hope to see you there and have some chips ready for me. If anybody needs guidance this year please see Jim Dwyer as he is the New Circus Chairman for Presque Isle. See you all at the show. Denny Hill, Circus Director BOSTON, MASS., FEBRUARY 24, 2016 Shriners Hospitals for Children® — Boston today announced the receipt of a $3 million gift to name The Howard Green Center for Children’s Skin Health and Research in honor of the late Howard Green, M.D. The mission of this first-of-its-kind center will be to carry on Dr. Green’s legacy by advancing the field of regenerative medicine through research and providing specialized pediatric skin care to children with even the most devastating and complicated injuries and conditions. All care will be provided regardless of families’ ability to pay. “For more than 50 years, Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston has been at the forefront of burn care and the treatment of pediatric skin conditions,” said Matthias Donelan, M.D., chief of staff at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston. “Along with providing a natural pathway into pediatric dermatology, this gift will drive more translational research that will expand the scope of our care and ultimately benefit more children around the world, many of whom could otherwise not afford treatment.” Dr. Green was the first to grow skin grafts using a patient’s own cells, one of the earliest examples of stem cell therapy. The first grafts from cultured skin were used to treat two patients with life-threatening burns at the Boston Shriners Hospital in the early 1980s. The patients survived and Dr. Green’s discovery forever improved the life expectancy of patients with acute burns. He dedicated his career to furthering scientists’ understanding of skin regeneration and improving the outcomes for patients with devastating skin injuries and conditions. "It is because of the foresight of the doctors at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston that the first application in tissue engineering was conducted, saving two boys who had no other chance of survival,” said Rosine Kauffmann Green, Dr. Green’s widow. “My husband would have been pleased that his work will be the basis for further study and care of children's skin. He would be very proud of this moment." The Center will expand upon the hospital’s current research in the area of pediatric skin health, working hand-in-hand with the clinical practice to move regenerative medicine along the discovery continuum to bring new treatments to children more quickly. “The research Dr. Green pioneered throughout his career not only established the scientific basis for an entirely new field called regenerative medicine but also changed the course of burn care and saved many lives at our hospital and around the world,” said Mehmet Toner, Ph.D., director of research at Shriners Hospitals for Children — Boston. “This gift elevates our position as a leading research facility and will enable us to continue our commitment to research projects that will further improve the outcomes and lives of patients with burns and skin disorders.” YOU CAN HELP BY SPONSORING A CHILD If you need help with an application or need any other information about sponsoring a child to our orthopedic childrens’ or burns hospitals contact the Nobles listed below.

If anyone would like to get a sandwich before the meeting we will meet at Pat’s Pizza at 5:00. The May 10th meeting will be held at Jordan’s Snack Bar in Ellsworth at 6:00. Captain Scott Edgerly would like to request everyone be at these meetings, because summer line up is just around the corner. Past Captain Carroll Chandler, Scott Johnson, Runtz Farnsworth and Yours Truly traveled to Scott Edgerly’s boatyard to check on the new mold for the first new lobster boats. Heard through the grapevine that the first boat was going to Santa Claus. Am I finally going to able to crack the case of Santa Claus and his mysterious reindeer? Bill Sinford is on the mend and doing well. Betty Fernald is recovering well from hip replacement surgery. Captain Edgerly and Past Captain Chandler travelled to Bangor to remove our wall at the old temple. The unit is still looking for new members to join the best boat unit in Anah Temple. All you have to do is know how to navigate. Please call Captain Scott Edgerly at 664-0229 or Past Captain Carroll Chandler at 497-2631 or Past Captain Bill Geel at 667-5125. We’ll try to get you started on the right navigational course. Notice to Runtz-you’re not going to believe this, my wife woke me up the other night and thought it would be a good idea for me to take a course in navigation. I think she was sleepwalking because she put me in the car, took me down to the edge of the ocean where there was a rowboat (with one oar), made me get in it and pushed it off shore. P.S. I told her I had my foreign navigational book. I said, “I suppose you want me to throw a bucket of water into the wind to see where it lands.” She said I would be smarter to throw it behind me so I don’t get wet. Runtz, does Ora ever say things like that to you? Ran into Noble Chad Terry a few days ago and he said Wilbert and Joan are just getting their overcoats off in Florida. I heard Runtz was getting a new boat for his pond. When are we going to christen it Runtz? I think we had better wait for a sunshiny day. I think it’s almost time to call my sternman, Forrest, to see if we should get our fishing poles out of the closet and go see what we can’t catch. Birthday celebrators are Wilbert Terry, Carole (with an e) Simpson, Mike Madore, and Julie Fernald. Honeymooners are Geddes and Carole (with an e) Simpson, Scott and Lori Johnson, and Carroll and Susan Chandler. Hope you young honeymooners don’t eat too much popcorn. Oops! Gotta go. The phone’s ringingonly three choices; telemarketer, someone with a political question, or the wrong number. Looks like I’m in for a busy summer.

As you read this March has already come and gone and April is finally here. Seems like we really didn’t have a winter at all. I think I plowed four times this winter. As we get towards warmer weather it will be a welcome addition to have our new heat pumps installed and ready to go, this will keep the facility cool in the summer and help with the heat cost in colder months, a welcome addition. April 8th is Ladies night at Waldo County Shrine which I believe will be catered by the Otis group, they always do a great job. Please try to attend. We will also have an Oyster Festival May 20th at Young’s Lobster Pound at 6pm with a 7pm dinner of Oyster Rockefellers, on the half shell oysters and also Oyster Stew. Steak Tips will be available for those who want this instead of the oysters. Libations will be served. Proceeds from this will benefit the Springfield Shrine Hospital. Price of this event is $25 per person. Should be a great time with lots of fun. The Shrine Circus will be here soon. Please come down to the Cross Center and help wherever you can. It takes a lot of volunteers to make this a success. In closing please support your Blue Lodge, as it is the Lifeline to Shrine.

Portland • 871-7000 Maine Brewed • Maine Made • Maine Owned www.seadogbrewing.com Greetings from the North! First some housekeeping, If you read our March submission to the Anahgram and wondered what on earth was going on, its ok so were we. The band’s article was a sort of tribute to Glenn Frey, throughout it I included as many song titles from the Eagles as I could. Oh… and an update on our missing director Noble Carl Allen, we have gotten word that he is alive and well, but still is off on his quest. I hope he returns before parade season though, I went to Jared and he is plum out of new belly button diamonds and no one wants to reuse Carl’s old one. So the band is finding itself in bit of a sticky wicket, we have two of our drummers on injured reserve. Both Noble Gregory Belanger and Noble Bud Wilson are laid up with an arm in a sling, making “Do not think that what is hard for thee to master is impossible for man; but if a thing is possible and proper to man, deem it attainable by thee.” – Marcus Aurelius April 2016 11 it awful hard for them to play. They were convinced that they could come up with some sort of stunt to entertain the crowd while we were playing at the upcoming Circus. I tried to tell them to leave the foolishness to those “friggin Klowns”, our music is more than enough to enthrall the masses. But do you think they would listen to me… NO!!! And now we are a couple of percussionists short of a drum line if you know what I mean. You probably would like an update on our “Out of this World Tour”. Well we had to cancel several dates due to a recent conflict. You see we had to come back to the County to cook breakfast for last month’s Aroostook Shrine Club meeting, and then “Drummergate 2016” took place. Overall I would have to say the breakfast was a success, but let me tell you, anytime you get that many of the Silent Generation together in the kitchen without a woman to direct them, the “silence” is deafening. Oh, and for goodness sakes do not try to sneak Noble Jeremiah Donovan turkey bacon. I can still hear him hollering, “if it’s not swine it’s not mine!” Who knew he had such an affinity for the other white meat. Hopefully we can get back on tour soon. Make sure to come out and see us when you can and remember that you don’t have to be crazy to hang out with the Oriental Band… We’ll train you!

The continued transition into our space at the new building has proceeded well. Thanks to everyone who has helped with that, especially Steve Mosley who got us a costume rack for our new closet and made sure our costumes and other equipment were stored in the circus room while our new closet was being finished. Very soon during the April school break yours truly and family are off to Orlando, FL for some fun in the sun. Really looking forward to it. The circus is coming right up at the end of the month.

Apologies for not having an update in quite a while, I intend to do my best to make sure we have an update every month. After a busy season last year, our winter was fairly quiet with the exception of some hospital visits, and the childrens Christmas party at the Aroostook Shrine Club. We made a few headlines when we did the hospital visits, Continued on page 14 “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run than walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you have to do you have to keep moving forward.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. The Anahgram 14 Third Annual Support your Hospitals Night Saturday, May 21st, 2016 at 1404 Broadway Bangor, Maine at Anah Shrine 5pm-6pm Social hour-with time to browse the Silent Auction tables. 6pm-7pm- Dinner with tickets at $10 each 7—8pm- Speakers 8pm-Drawing of the Auction items with pick up at end after the Special Entertainment program.

Continued from page 13 although Santa and Mrs. Clause had to do their best to keep some of us in line. The Christmas party was a big hit and the kids had a fun filled afternoon, with games, Klowns, and of course a cakewalk. I’m fairly sure each child that showed up walked away with a cake or two at least! We’ve taken this winter to spend some time with each other in the unit, which only strengthens our bond and truly makes us a very close family. Disco, MegaByt3, Kickstand, Ruffles, and CharCole were fortunate enough to meet the Mandarin as well, it’s just too bad the Indy’s had to clean up the garage after! We got together at the bowling alley and had some pizza too with our better halves and some of the Klown kids. We also got together and went to the movies, we behaved for the most part and didn’t razzle the crowd too bad, although poor Ruffles was hassled by a few of the Klowns sitting behind him. We are also planning on having a few makeup classes to give some pointers to the new guys in the unit. If they are painting up like an Auguste, they should probably bring their wife or girlfriend with them because we all know who really does their makeup! For 2016, the boss Klown is Moochie, for the billionth time, so maybe he’ll be able to lead us this year with his eyes closed! Also taking up offices in the unit are Camo as Captain, MegaByt3 as Lieutenant, Sci as Treasurer, and CharCole as Secretary. We are getting amped up for the upcoming season, circus is around the corner, then we have ceremonial soon after... and once ceremonial is done we enter the parade season! We have so much fun putting a smile on children’s faces while painting one on ours! Sincerely, CharCole, Secretary Klown The last meeting was held March 1st at Pat’s Pizza with 37 members present. Old and new business was discussed and meeting adjourned. Future dates to remember: April 5th will be Ladies Night at Riverside Cafe in Ellsworth at 6 pm. Next regular meeting will be May 3rd at Pat’s Pizza in Ellsworth and don’t forget June 8th will be our annual lobster feed at Alan Heath’s in Penobscot. The gun raffle is well on its way and there have been a few lucky winners: Nick Easler, Sangerville, Brian V. Dill Jr., Bucksport, Nick Noddin, Surry, Robert Crabtree, Franklin, Steve Parent, Camden, Keith Crowley Jr., Addison, Ryan Fysh, Ellsworth, and Chris Kane, Levant. Congratulations to all. Now for the local gossip. Noble Jimmy Nolan and Noelle are somewhere south of Kittery traveling in their new motor home. “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”- Henry David Thoreau April 2016 15 Past Potentate John Fernald is worried about Bill Fernald’s relatives arriving in Somesville early. It must mean he is in route somewhere. There was a good turnout from Hancock County Shrine Club at the Washington County Shrine Club steak feed. Noble Brad Prout is back in school for Shrine knowledge. Get well wishes to Ed Pellon. Rumor has it that Past Potentate Geddes Simpson and Lady Carol(e) are putting a hot tub on their deck. I wonder if they are having senior moments? I’m trying to find out more about Alan Fernald and his exercises at the Y. Noble Jay Fernald has gone back to sea. Noble Brian Hamor is due back from the south. Hope Noble Bruce and Lady Lois Clark are having an excellent winter in sunny Florida. Remember, Maine hasn’t been all that cold this winter. Hope we’ll see you guys this spring. Noble John Fernald thinks he is going to have a small garden this spring so he can get to canning some more pickles. Birthday celebrators are Earle Tracy, Wilbert Terry, Ellen Duff, Carole(with an e) Simpson, Ronald Gross, Don McHenan, Ed Colburn, Evenlyn Hardison, Terrance DuFour, Paul Cirard, Linda Ballard, Mike Madore, Julie Fernald, Larry Wasson, Randy Sawyer, Michael Nickerson, Linda Tracy, Carrie Richardson, John Fuller, Shayna Nickerson, Sonny Crocker, Ed (Speed) Seymour, and Brian Lane. Honeymooners are Richard and Mae Landesman, Chad and Susan Cirard, Richard and Gladys Leighton, Barry and Ginny Hamilton, Paul and Carol Cirard, and Geddes Simpson, Jr. and Carole (with an e) Simpson. P.S. Noble Corey Cirard-understand you won big on the calendar event. Maybe you should send some of the funds to your mom and dad so they can get home safely from Florida. Oops! Gotta Go! Phone’s ringing. Can’t be anyone with any news. It must be a telemarketer, a political call, or wrong number. Noble John Farrington, Reporter To the Nobles of Anah land it sure looks as though it is going to be an early spring. NPSC does not hold a March meeting so I do not have a lot to report to you this month. The officers and directors did meet at my home on February 18, with ten of us present. This group of Nobles entered into a discussion about the next Feztival of Trees and how we may participate. There also ensued a great deal of discussion about a fund raiser(s) for this club. We need to keep in mind that over each of the next four years we, as a club, are responsible for keeping our pledge of $2,000 each year towards the new temple. When we made the commitment to this pledge we felt that we could meet it with our commission from the Circus Ad sales. However, in this part of Anah land it is becoming more difficult to gain those Circus Ads. Therefore the directors feel that the club needs to be looking at one or more fund raiser to gain the money that we need to make this yearly commitment. Please, if you have an idea for a good money maker share it with one of the directors or bring your idea up for discussion at the next club meeting. The president reported on and shared a very nice thank you card from the Sunshine Club. They thanked NPSC for a recent donation that we made to help them in their work. Tony reported that a purchase/sale agreement has been signed on the Main Street building. Nobles and Ladies, please keep in mind that our next meeting will take place at the snow mobile club in Sherman with Rep. Rick Long as our guest speaker. After that, in May, we will again meet with the ladies present, at the East Branch SnoRovers in Medway. The president is trying to arrange for a guest speaker representing Patient Air Lift Services (PALs). This service provides free air flight to instate and out of state hospitals for those in need of medical services. The June meeting will take place in Patten (for Nobles only) at their snow mobile club. Bring your umbrellas as there is usually a dandy of a thunderstorm on that meeting night. That is all for now, see you at the April meeting, and remember to keep Masonry and Shrine Dom in your life. Ken Hanscom Jr. Reporter April, and were having a great time at our annual meeting, I hope. I have to write this column back in March, so will let you know next month. At this time we would like to welcome our new potentate, Bob Turner and his lovely Lady Bonnie. We wish you a great year, and if you need us just give us a call. Lets not forget the circus on April 29, 30, and May 1st. We will again be selling our novelties, and will ask Nobles when they want to work. Another date to remember is June 4th, our golf tournament at the Piscataquis Golf course in Guilford. This would be a great time to start looking for donations of whatever to be given away as prizes. Birthday wish’s go to Sandy Bussell, Rhonda Scott, Ramoa Sudsbury, Evelyn Dow, Devin Bussell, Johanne Watier, I hope I got that right as Scott spells it different every time he tells me. Let us not forget that great gray hunter from Lee Maine, Warren Curtis. Rumor has it that he just bagged a one of a kind. I can’t say anything yet, as we don’t know if it is LEAGAL! Anniversary congratulation’s go to Dan and Suellen Leighton. 27 years they went to Niagara Falls. If any of you know something that you would like to see in the Anahgram, contact me at 794-6675, 794-2222, or kdh6367@ live.com. Same goes for anyone that would like to join the unit. All Blue Lodges will be going this month. Try to find a candidate, young or old, and be there when he takes his degrees. Until next time, SEE YA! Noble Mike Murphy Reporter Greetings Nobles and Ladies. Another month is here and I’ve missed the last couple Anahgram’s. There is no excuse other than I didn’t do it. With that Said. I have lots of news to report. At our annual meeting, we voted in a new slate of officers. Cliff Wells is the new President and Treasurer, Richard Bowden is the Vice-president and Secretary, Paul Hazard remains the Pipe Major, Mike Grant – Pipe Sergant, Ernie Smith – Pipe Corporal. Tom Sawyer remains Drum Major, Kraig King – Drum Sergent and Quartermaster, Tony Smith – Corporal. I remain the reporter. The band is diligently practicing for our first event – St. Patrick’s Day. We intend to invade Geahagan’s on March 17 at 6 pm. It is so much fun to see the crowded room light up when we enter with the pipes and drums in tune with a military march. Ernie has penned pipe music to the rock tune “We Will Rock You”. The drum salute that goes with it and the pipe music should really bring the “Irish” out of even the sternest member of the crowd. On a separate note, I just returned from Boston. The site of the first shot of the Revolutionary War in April 19, 1775 was a few miles away in Concord at the old North Bridge. My wife and I stayed at an Inn within walking distance of said historical site. The Inn was used as a hospital for that battle. It was very interesting. Seeing the bridge and a narrow strip of land preserved in time made it easy for me to realize the importance of the founding of our Nation. Against absolutely impossible odds, our forefathers refused to give into tyranny and sacrificed for a better future for us. Perhaps we should thank them. In any “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” – Mae West Continued on page 16 The Anahgram 16 Continued from page 15 given election, nearly half of the eligible voters don’t vote. Our Masonic Brethren were key to the founding of this nation and they would be appalled at such horrendous statistics. Our Inn was across the street from the Concord Masonic Hall. I so wanted to get into a meeting so that I could inquire about the rich history of that Lodge. This Nation is founded on Masonic values which are based upon rich teachings from the Bible. The Declaration of Independence states that “all men are created equal”. I seem to recall something about meeting on the level. I would like to go on further about the trip and sites from our Nation’s birth, (Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is also across from the Inn for what that is worth), but the hour is late (due in part to Boston not being able to afford street signs that are big enough to read) and I must continue my journey home. Until Next time, if anyone would like piping or drumming lessons, contact me at pipingleprechaun@hotmail.com. Be Blessed my brothers. Noble Warren Orcutt, Sr., Reporter April is here and seems wonderful to say “good by” to winter. We really have no complaints as it has been a warmer than usual one with little snow and only extremely cold temps for short periods of time. It certainly will be good to have warmer weather and green grass again. Our snowbird friends have reported that it has been colder than normal in the south and not the kind of weather they wanted during their winter months either. Easter was in March this year and I neglected to wish everyone a Happy Easter in the March Anahgram. I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter with your families. Our March meeting was held on the 3rd at the Addison Town Hall and was the Annual Divan Visitation night. It was well attended with over 40 people in attendance. Dignitaries present included Potentate Robert Turner; Steve Trimm, Chief Rabban; Adam Beals, Outer Guard; PP & Recorder Larry Hersom; PP Ed Pellon; PP Sonny Crocker; PP Jesse Thomas; PP Al Gibson; PP Lee Kaufman; PP Geddes Simpson; PP John Fernald; Directors Donald Wright, Chief Greeter and WCSC Reporter Warren Orcutt; Assistant Chief Greeters Robert Look and Mike Bailey; Greeter Todd Alley; Joe McDonald, Ubbie Crowley & Ronald Dunphy, Mini Cars; Troy Huffman, Runtz Farnsworth, and Billy Sinford, Lobster Boats; Brian Strout, WCSC President; David Weaver, Asst. Chief Director; Bruce Clarke, Assistant Director of Units; George Alley, Personal Aide; Denny Smith and Ed Huntley, Assistant Chief Aides; Thomas Frost, Director of Units; Walter Kennedy, Wheelers; Ryan Otis, Chaplin; Thomas Fernald, Convertibles; Johnathan McClure; Dwayne Smith & Tony Santiago. The 2016 Potentate’s Trip is April 2-9 and those attending will be at the Valentine Imperial Maya when this issue hits the mail. I know everyone will be having a great time. WCSC will sponsor the Carnival in Machias this summer and chose the week of August 4th for the event. Watch for additional details in future Anahgram articles, in the paper, or on the radio. Several of the WCSC members spent all or part of the first week of February in Island Falls at Vacationland Estates, including Warren & Velma Orcutt, Mike and Debi Murphy, Robert & Sandi Look, and Mike and Lisa Grant. Other longtime friends were also there for week and have been going for over 25 years now. PP Tony Bowers joined us several evenings for dinner, jokes, and just a fun evening. The Annual Shrine Circus will be in Bangor on April 29th to May 1st and it takes many hands to make this successful. Sign up and volunteer your time to help with this worthy event. Remember we all work for “the Children”. Screening Clinics will be held in Machias on May 3rd so be looking for potential candidates to attend and get referred for help with their issues. A Sportsman’s Show is being planned in Machias at UMM and more information will be available next month. Birthday wishes go out to Stacey Cherry, Ubbie Crowley, Julie Fernald, Bethany Foss, Ricky Foss, Ralph Fraser, James Gibson Jr., Carolyn Hayward, Kevin Joy, Robert Lobley, Bimbo Look, Joanne Meserve, Randy Sawyer, Carole Simpson, Sped Seymour, Nicole Sinford, Kenneth Steweart, Frank Theriault, Earl (ET) Tracy, Linda Tracy, and Bob Young. Anniversary bells rang out for Dean & Elizabeth Alley, Carroll & Susan Chandler, Mike & Jolene Doran, Gerry & Linda Moores, Barry & Jada Hanscom, Larry & Teresa Nichols, Linden & Andrea Perry, PP Geddes & Carole Simpson, and Potentate Robert & Lady Bonnie Turner. As a reminder, get your new candidates lined up for the June Ceremonial. Room reservations must be made through Anah Housing by contacting Earl Seymour. Rooms will fill up fast so call to reserve your room or it may be too late. June is right around the corner. Directors Staff Noble Dave Weaver - Reporter As I sit here writing this article on the 3rd of March I’m very glad I’m inside our house. It’s very cold outside about 11 above and the wind is blowing a gale. BUT no snow !! Like I told someone yesterday, Howling wind is easy to shovel and cold weather doesn’t get you wet. So from where I’m sitting it looks like a real nice day outside. Not much going on in Shrinedome during the month of February. I heard that the Clown comedy night was a huge success. That was in competition with the High School Basketball Tournaments. I, for one, love the tournaments. I was a little disappointed in the TV coverage. Congratulations to all the teams that made the top eight. The month of March brings us the Island Party. Having been to these Party’s , in the past, I’m sure it will be a lot of fun. I’m sure that a lot of coconut bras will be present. Roger Grindle always wears his. The Mid Winter meeting will also take place in Fredericton NB March 17 – 19. That’s about it for this month. Please keep in mind the Circus is coming the last weekend in April, in Bangor and the 1st weekend in May, in Presque Isle. Both venues can use all the help they can get. Be kind to one another and attend your local Blue Lodge. Noble Martin “Fou” Perfit, Clown Unit Reporter February 6 saw Div-It (Duane Young) and Fou (Martin Perfit) at the Home Depot Children’s Workshop where they dazed, stunned, flabbergasted, and even impressed 137 children with their balloon twisting and sundry other antics. It must be noted that while demonstrating their talent at no time did their fingers leave their hands! Our first ever Comedy Night took place on Saturday evening February 20 under the direction of Slapshot (Dale Hatch) and Scooter (Scott Boucher). Our goal was to sell 150 tickets but we ended with a paid attendance of over 375. The attendees were well fed at the sumptuous spread prepared and served by Gumpy (Mike Robshaw), Piggy (Tom Vanchieri), T/C Trash Can (Bill Taylor), and Pop Fizz (Troy Devoe). Additional assistance was provided by Theresa Hatch (Mrs. Slapshot).

Hope to see you at the next Sunday morning meeting! Noble Shawn Lahey, Reporter Hello, again, from the Crown of Maine. Here are a few things that came from the Aroostook Shrine Club meeting. First – the club has had some good discussion recently regarding finances and has re-engaged the Finance Committee. It’ll consist of the President, Vice President, Treasurer, Building Superintendent and the Unit Heads who will be tasked with ensuring we have a practical budget and healthy bottom line moving forward. Second – there was some time spent on membership. The Potentate and his Divan have a membership challenge in place for any club or unit that increases their rolls by 4 members at this June’s ceremonial. They’ll provide a Delicious Divan Dining experience so encourage any Master Masons you know to sign up and attend the Anah/Kora joint ceremonial in Belfast this June. Lastly but certainly not least(ly?), everyone’s gearing up for the “busy season.” The first thing on tap is circus and everyone’s been working hard to get things ready for May 5, 6 & 7. We’ve have a Facebook page you can like, follow and share to get the word out Reporter Noble Harold Adams Hello everyone. Very strange weather this winter for us in the Bangor area, and now it seams we are on our way to spring with the temperatures of late. Makes for long nights with nothing to do. As everyone is aware we are getting ready for the Circus at the end of the month. We need all the help you can give to help with novelties. Our Provost Marshall is getting his plans together for Elvis night. Right now, he is planning sometime in June, we will let you know when he has it finalized. Also, in June is the Summer Ceremonial in Northport, we need members for the parade, that Saturday. Remember our meetings so you can help plan for these up coming events, the first Tuesday of the month, every month unless otherwise notified. That does it for now, now onto member special days. Birthday wishes being sent to; Nobles Don Havey, Carl Drew, Jerry Fratini, and Jeff Hamadey, our Ladies are Dottie Havey, and Judith Pratt. Couples celebrating anniversaries Nobles and Ladies Don and Dottie Havey, Galen and Nancy Adams and Thomas and Nadene Smith. Congratulations to you all. Until next time. Reporter Jame Buteau Hello everyone! We hope everyone is enjoying a true Mainers early mud season. Thank you to everyone who made it out on a snowy cold day for our second annual cribbage tournament. First we would like to thank Duane Jordan for the use of his building. We had a great turnout, what a great afternoon to get some cabin fever relief. This year we had 52 player, 1st place was Chance Curtis, 2nd place Roger Lane,3rd place was Dennis St Peter and 4th place Ronnie Taplin, who donated back. Thank you! The big 50/50 winner was Corey Cirard one of unit member who also donated his winnings back. Thank you Corey! We would like to thank everyone that helped and donated food and time for this event. With the weather getting warmer we are looking forward to working on our banners and trailer, to get ready for the first parade of the year. Until next time - get out and enjoy the warm weather and early trout fishing before the Maine state bird comes out (the black fly). Reporter Jamie Buteau Anah Chanters 191 E.

Katahdin Trust. Community Banking at its Best since 1918! Noble Carl Stewart, Reporter We have moved most of our equipment to a temporary storage area in the new temple. A new permanent storage room has been prepared for us but we need to install some shelving to help keep things orderly and accessable. Jim Leighton and I hope to get something installed within the next couple of weeks. Everything has to be out of the old temple by mid April. We have two four drawer file cabinets left in the old temple containing music sheets, To nd one of our 19 banking locations: www.KatahdinTrust.com “If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old.” – Lord Chesterfield April 2016 or so Jim tells me. I have never seen them opened in my time with the Chanters. Jim says he has never seen them used in his lifetme which is a long time. We may decide to do away with them and save the space. Any comments will be welcome. We are still looking for new members. We have several members who are getting on in age and are having some health problems and we need some younger replacements. We were not able to get enough members to allow us to perform for the January Ceremonial. If would like to join a unit please come to one of our meetings on the second Thursdays at the new Shrine Center at 7:00 PM. You don’t have to have music training - just be willing to make a joyfull noise. Happy birthday wishes are in order for Janet Moll who celebrated her birthday in March and to Maddy Stewart who celebrates hers in April. Happy anniversary to Bob and Carol Dion. 19 meeting to the Ladies, and it was nice to see so many present. We may be doing this more often, the Ladies really add to the evening. 50/50 raffle was won by Noble Mike Blake, who donated his share back to the Club. Thanks Mike. President Watson brought up the Waterfront Concert Tickets.This is a fund raiser for the Club, tickets are only $20 and offers you a chance to win tickets of a Concert of your choice and a overnight stay at the Hollywood Casino. If you win, your ticket goes back in and you can win more than once. Circus Tickets and Ads were mentioned, Nobles need to work hard on these two items. Speaker for the evening was Potentate Bob Turner. He spoke on his upcoming year and events that have already taken place. A very exciting year is being planned for Anah Shrine. After the Potentate’s interesting and informative remarks, meeting was closed by President Watson. PHOTO UNIT Noble Lloyd Day, Reporter Tri County Shrine Club held their monthly meeting on the 17th of February at the Countryside Restaurant in Corinth. The 44 Nobles and Ladies enjoyed an excellent Buffet Meal and Libation Hour. The Libation Hour was ably manned by Nobles Ron Green and Master of Libation Scott Folsom. The appetizers alone were enough for a meal. Countryside really knows how to put on a meal. The meeting was called to order by President Arthur “COOTA” Watson. Invocation was given by Noble Don “BOBO” Young. After the Invocation, a moment of silence was held for two of our recently departed Nobles, PP Tyler Dunning and John Currier. The President led the salute to the Flag of Our Country. After the meal, President Watson introduced the head table. Seated at the head table were VP Rich Johnson and Lady Cynthia, Secretary Dave Mosley, Master of Libation Scott Folsom and Lady Jeanie, President Arthur Watson and Lady Phyllis and Illustrious Sir Potentate Robert Turner and his lovely Lady Bonnie. Unit Heads in attendance were Scott Folsom of the 4X4’s, Lloyd Day of the Photo Unit. Representing the Bangor-Brewer Shrine Club was Noble Sped Seymour. Aides Emeritous present were Nobles Ron Green and Don Mitchell. Chief Director of the Directors Staff Dan Costain was present. Potentate Turner presented Past President Dan Costain with his Past Presidents Plaque. Well deserved Dan. Past Potentates in attendance were Larry Hersom “86” and Lady Libby, and Lee Kaufman “13” and Lady Peggy. Representing the Divan was Outer Guard Adam Beals, Recorder Larry Hersom and Illustrious Sir Potentate Robert Turner. Tri County opened our Today 4 guys showed up to make the move from our darkroom on Main Street to Broadway. Thanks to Ed, Chet, and Merland the task was quickly finished. We have a little more sorting to do and may liquidate some more baggage. My back was hurting so the 3 did most of the lugging. That Ed is a bear. The cabinet that Merland made came out nice. The countertop donated by Bangor Wholesale Laminates looks mighty fine too. We then adjourned to Dysarts for lunch. Noting that we had a quorum we decided to have one of our 4 required meetings. It was decided we need a new filing cabinet as the other one was tired. Sec/Treasurer Clark offered to take care of that. We also decided to sell the unit laptop as no one was using. It has some age and we think it is running XP. If anyone is interested contact me. We discussed the June ceremonial and it looks like a fine turnout (4 photo shooters) will be there. Secretary Clark collected dues and we have keys coming for the room. With paid up dues comes a key to the room. We received a donation from Aroostook County Shrine Club. (Thanks Boomer) for a poster we did of the divan. We also previously received a donation from Kora for work we did at winter ceremonial. I can say it was a nice donation. Secretary Clark took note of the proceedings and we adjourned. Dennis was somewhere in Canada looking for some lobsters. Lloyd Day, Asst. Director Leave only footprints ~~~ Noble Gaylord E. Sundt, Reporter I trust that everyone got through April Fools day without being made a fool. I don’t worry about it so much as I’m always being accused of being one already. This winter is finally winding down. What there was of it. Those of us who stuck it out here instead of running to a warmer climate (we know who you are),were blessed with a mild one. Only had the snowblower out twice. It may last another 35 years at this rate. Not complaining. Feel bad for the winter lovers, but in all honesty, I don’t feel all that bad. The units monthly meeting for February was held at Pat’s Pizza in Holden. 1/2 of the unit attended which is about normal for this time of year. Noble Roger Grindle, out divan rep, was in attendance and announced his up coming retirement. Congratulations to him! Plans and details for our upcoming May 14 th Super Supper were discussed. Get your ticket, if you haven’t already, and get ready to enjoy a nice evening. At our new Shrine Center. Can’t wait! Our leader passed around a list of member information so that we could correct any mistakes. He allowed that some members might want to change their ladies names? Wonder who that could be? After six weeks of persistent urging so by my wife(it would have been quieter around here had I listened earlier), I made my way to the hospital to have a persistent cough checked out. After filling out papers and listing Fernalds as the place to call in an emergency, I was ushered in. I was poked, prodded, blood let, iv’d with a large bag which I’m guessing was not gin and tonic, pilled and vaporized. After four hours she announced that I had a case of cute bronchitis. I’d not heard of that one and realized that because my ears were blocked that she was saying that I was cute and that I had bronchitis. Lorraine says she said ‘acute bronchitis’, but at my age I like what I heard better. Stopped and got more meds on the way home. So $135 later, I’m on the mend except for the $135. That’s history! But like someone said once, he’d never seen a u-haul behind a hearse. Got some hi tech cough syrup at $8 a teaspoon. 10 pages of do’s and don’t later I fill up the teaspoon. Reading the label I see where it says to take by MOUTH every 12 hours. Really? I mean it’s not like I’ve got an earache or gas. What else would I do with it. Guess that’s to protect them from some fools lawyer. This month Noble Sped retires from the military. He also celebrates his birthday. We thank him for his service and wish him a happy day!

Hopefully our adoring fans can make some suggestions of some music they would like us to play. We have added a new sax player, he is a Master Mason and will soon be taking the degree of a Shriner this summer. Matt should round out our brass sound that we have been perfecting.

Last month’s question was: What is the oldest major soda created in the United States; and when and by whom was fizzy drinks originally marketed? Answer: The idea of marketing fizzy drinks was originated by a German jeweler named Jacob Schweppe in 1794. Schweppe’s Soda Water was originally promoted as treatment for “Stone of the Bladder.” The Sometimes the best part of my job is that my chair swivels. – Anonymous April 2016 oldest soda in the United States is Dr. Pepper invented in 1885. This month’s question is: Keeping the month of April and the circus in mind. Who is the patron saint of circus workers? Where is Maine? A number of years ago (a big number) John T. and I were traveling across the state of Georgia. (Georgians call it “The Great State”). Anyway, as we entered the town of Americus it was time to stop for gas. So John T. pulled into a small well kept (1930’s looking) gas station. As we got out of the car an elderly black gentleman approached and said “good day to y”all.” “Filler-up” John T. said. While doing so the kindly old gentleman asked John T., “where y”all from.” “Montezuma”, John T. replied. “I knows where that is, just up the road a piece from Andersonville” he said. “That’s right” John T. replied. The affable old man then turned to me and asked, “where’s y’all from.” “Maine” I replied. “main, the main part of what”, he asked? “No, No, the State of Maine” I answered. “Well, I‘s heards of it but I’s don’ts know where it is.” The time has come to close the “Blotter” for this month and to remember “IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS.” The next Keystone meeting is April 26th. SCHOODIC SHRINE CLUB Noble David G. Beckett, Reporter Greetings from Schoodic Shrine Club: Circus ads have been sent in and the Circus is almost here. Many volunteers are needed to put on the Circus.

As I write this, I’m in hopes everyone is experiencing the joys of spring: the longer days, the rising temperatures and the shedding of winter clothing! Our March meeting was held at the Shrine Hall. The meeting started with a recap of the Wheeler’s Supper. Under old business we discussed the Brick Paver applications that still need to be submitted, Gun Raffle tickets which continue to be available, Anah dues for Ceremonial, and the sale of Second Section 2016 Calendars. And last, although important, Second Section dues. Please take advantage of the raffle opportunities by purchasing a gun raffle ticket or a calendar. In upcoming events, we discussed the June Ceremonial being held in Northport/ Belfast. The format will be a very nice change and we are all looking forward to the events. Housing is full and Second Section has secured 5 rooms at the Yankee Clipper in Belfast. We also discussed the Waterfront Concert Series, which will be underway in Bangor starting June 4th. The Second Section works as parking attendants for this event and we will need help with making sure we have sufficient coverage to make these events successful. There will be more to come. We also discussed the Noble of the Year Party, scheduled for October 1, 2016. Along those lines please be thinking about nominations. Also a topic of discussion was the Anah Shrine Circus which will be held in Bangor on April 29, 30 & May 1st and in Presque Isle on May 5, 6, & 7th. The Second Section’s primary responsibility at the Circus is to sell programs outside and inside; however there are many other exciting ways folks can help make this a premier event and if there is interest, please just ask. We need each of you. During the course of the meeting, timelines for the SDA were discussed. We will be departing on Thursday, April 14th and returning Saturday, April 16th. Setup stunts will be at Melha Shriners on Thursday from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. Stunt preview will be Friday 8:00 am to 8:30 am with the Stunt competition immediately following on Friday from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. The Springfield Hospital Tour is Saturday 9:00 am to 2:30 pm with 1 -2 hour timeslots.

Thank you for all that you do. Until next time, think membership! Rich Noble Josh Morse Reporter Can you hear that? Listen hard, it’s getting closer and closer! Thump thump, thump thump….. that’s the sound that the go-kart unit members are getting excited to make, as they go up and over the ramp truck. It is almost time to pull the karts out of storage and get them ready for the task at hand. We would like to welcome our new Divan Rep, Adam Beals to our family. With his support, we know we are going to have a great summer and accomplish many things for the kids in need. We were happy to hear that Pepsi has joined the Shiner forces! Not only is our unit one the most entertaining acts during the parades, but if you get a chance on a weekend night, please check out Dave Eaton and his band! We were told that he has more moves than Patrick Swayze, in “Dirty Dancing”. His riding time in his Kart has really adapted his dancing moves to cause thrills and chills! A couple of important dates to keep in mind; May 21st - Hospital Membership Night Event June 10 - 12, 22 - 24 - We will be at Sams Club in Bangor, selling raffle tickets As always we are looking for new members. If you are person that likes having fun, is a little crazy and enjoys being around fast paced people - we are the unit for you! Best wishes from the gokarts and like always, keep it between the rails! “No man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child.” – Abraham Lincoln Washington County Shrine Visitation: John S.
