I want to start of this month saying a great big heart felt THANK YOU to the Warsaw shrine club. Not only were they very gracious host for the Jubilee Days and the day of the parade. They hosted on fantastic ceremonial!!!!! Congratulation to Bill Yardley for being name class honoree. Bill, thank you for all your hard work and continued dedication over the years. I would also like to take just a quick minute to let you all know that Warsaw has some fine cooks in their mist and those of us who were in Warsaw sure had some great food. We had Mac McWilliams in Warsaw with his band, what great music and party. Congratulation to Mac for being name Shriner of the Month by Shriner’s International. Mac not only is you a great Shriner, you are a great person all around and it is an honor for me to be a member at Ararat alongside you. THANK You for allowing me that privilege! I would like to thank the clubs that have hosted the Divan outings thus far. I would also like to thank the other clubs that visited the hosting clubs during our outing. As I have stated before Illustrious Sir Wayne started doing this last year and I was pleased to continue the outings and enjoying the fellowship and friendship that is so rewarding when we have these meeting. Wayne thank you for your foresight in starting these outing. W If you Nobles and ladies have paid attention to our patio you have noticed that the shed has been moved and construction is under way for our improved patio. Thank you Dave Bennifield and Dave Johnson for giving up your Sunday morning and supplying all the equipment need to move the shed. Thanks to the Divan members that help as well. Keep an eye on the patio great things are still to come. We will get more use out of our finer assets. Please remember that we will not have a stated Temple meeting in July as to allow the officers of your shrine center to attend Imperial Session. Last but not least please being thinking about the fall Ceremonial now is the time to be getting your candidates ready to join you in what I truly believe is the greatest fraternity supporting what we all know is the world’s greatest philanthropy! The best way to succeed in this support is MEMBERSHIP, MEMBERSHIP.

John Foster Howard Silvers Leroy Graham Gerald Tinsley Bob Markle Bill Warren Notes from Board of Governors St. Louis Shriners Hospital for Children by Wayne Spencer P.P. T he Hospital Staff continues to prepare for the transition to the new Hospital. Construction is on time and everyone is excited about the new Hospital. Elsewhere in this newspaper is an advertisement for your participation in the continuance of the Hospital Capital Program. The Hospital is offering the opportunity to purchase a brick in the courtyard surrounding the Silent Messenger. There are a limited amount (400) available so if you are interested as an individual or a unit or club, please purchase your brick as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please call me. Patient referral was up a little bit for May, but we still need to be on the lookout for children in need of our Hospital’s service. Please be vigilant and be bold to recommend a patient involvement with our fine services. If your club or unit would like to schedule a screening clinic, please contact me or the Hospital Committee to set up a clinic. These clinics are a perfect opportunity to get the word out about our Hospitals. These can be coordinated with your Church, school or other fraternal organizations. Let’s get involved. Invitations are being prepared for the 90th Anniversary Celebration. I hope that some of you will consider participating in this gala event. There will be an open house at the Hospital with BBQs, games, talent shows and representation of patients and ambassadors. If any unit or club is interested in preparing food for this event at the hospital, please let me know. There will be Moolah and Ainad units participating. If you would be interested in contributing items for the Silent auction for the Hospital Golf Tournament, please let me know. They are interested in items of value over $50.00. These items will be auctioned at the Golf Tourney Banquet. I would need the items for the August Meeting (3rd Wednesday). Until next time, remember the KIDS. T By STEVE DOWDY he spicy red wine grapes have some really interesting flavors. Tastes of earth, smoke, leather, coffee, minerals and even spice can be found in this group. These are substantial reds, and they have rich, opulent, fruit at their heart. Syrah and Shiraz are the same wine, with different names depending on their home. In France, it’s Syrah, but in Australia, it’s Shiraz. As it becomes more popular, it’s being grown in more and more countries. The grape likes a warm climate, but Syrah is now coming from Switzerland. In the Rhone Valley, this grape is smoky and mineralish; in Australia, it becomes softer and richer, more leathery and blackberryish. California varieties usually are more in line with the Australian prototype. Syrah/Shiraz ages very well, and the best ones really need some years in the bottle to be at their best. This is not the same as the Petite Sirah sometimes found in California and Mexico. These are robust wines, so they pair best with rich flavorable foods, like beef, rather than mild, delicate flavors. I’ve never tried Shiraz with barbequed foods, but I’d think it would make a pretty good pairing. Grenache is another heat-loving grape. Plant it where it can bake, and it will reward you with a flavor and aroma that may remind you of freshly ground black pepper with plums and toffee. In cooler spots, it turns out pallid and thin, and not too desirable. It’s softer in texture and tends not to age as well as Syrah, and it’s not nearly as fashionable. 2014 ararat parade schedule Don Pittier, Sr. - Director of Uniformed Units • 913-620-9957 DATELINE-UP TIME/PARADE TIMELOCATION 07/04/2014...................... 10:00 AM/11:00 AM.............

I look forward to reading about all of the events taking place, seeing “New Blood” getting involved, Nobles who have been a part of the Temple’s growth for many years still plugging away, and taking pride, even at a distance, for being a member of such a Great Fraternity. It’s somewhat disheartening to see less being written by the Clubs individually, because all of those groups collectively make up the ONE ENGINE that drives everything. It takes Nobles who can contribute whatever their talents might be to do their best. Not just anyone can qualify to be the Potentate, Provost Marshal, Editor of the Shrine News, or something they think can run smoother because of their abilities. All Nobles do have a talent that will make a Club or Unit function better, and so “jump in and shine” your light. When I look back and think of the Nobles who made an impact on me, these come to mind. Paul Brewer, who was the Secretary of the Provost Club for many years (and drug a 6 foot bag while he picked cotton as a child), Bal Rast who greeted me at my 1st Provost meeting, Leonard Huff (who refused to get in line for a long time), Bill Lutman (who joined everything but the French Foreign Legion), Don Cox (who somehow kept good Jewel Point counts), Joe Klos (who will be in Temple Security forever), Dennis Lindsey (who lets his thoughts be known), Al Stewart (who claims to be 39), Sonny Wiseman ( always had plenty of help), and many others. A great group of Nobles who have made a mark. I hope that Teddie Harrison is doing well. I hold him in high esteem. Also, I hope this finds every Noble and Lady who is experiencing illness a fast recovery and God’s blessings. Little things mean a lot, and at some point getting out of bed shouldn’t be taken for granted. Many folks can’t. Nothing hurts worse than being out of sight and feeling out of everyone’s mind. Stay in touch with those who, for any reason, are unable to attend meetings or possibly leave home. Strength in numbers will apply now and down the pike, so stay strong for others who were there at one time. Nothing can help more than a phone call or a visit. It’s fantastic medicine. There isn’t a person on earth who can truly appreciate everyone all the time, so if you aren’t in a Club or Unit where you feel comfortable or needed, find one that you can make a difference in. If nothing else, when you can spare some time, walk back and forth in front of the Temple and smile. I’m thinking about getting a travel trailer and buying a lake lot. Before that happens it looks like a part time job is needed. Probably for the best anyway. Thanks to the girls in the office, Noble Jim Kerns, who makes the Shrine News keep perking, and everyone else who can say proudly that they are Shriners. Until next time, God Bless.

W e are kicking off a “1 in 3” campaign. We want every member to commit to bringing in at least 1 new Noble in the next 3 years. It’s that easy. I have to believe each of you can search and deliver at least 1 man of outstanding character. Find the right man who will make a great Shriner now and for years to come. Think about the impact we can have on temple membership if we all commit! This summer you’ll be enjoying parades, picnics, family reunions, trips to the lake and everything fun. And there will never be a better opportunity to make a new Shrine Mason. Brothers, I encourage you to carry pocket petitions and a wonderful story about the Shrine. Share it with every man of good character, who’s spiritual and moral conviction exemplifies the traits of a Shriner. I know many of you joined the Shrine because a relative was a member. This means you’re a “Legacy”. The “Legacy Program” is something you can share with your family. For many men, being a Shriner is a family tradition. “From one generation to the next, Shriners have enjoyed a unique brotherhood and shared in an important mission. The Shriners Legacy Program is a way to show your pride in being a Shriner and to celebrate your part in the special brotherhood that comes from membership. The Shriners Legacy Program is open to any male family member* related to a Shriner, including: • Fathers • Grandfathers • Brothers • Uncles • Sons • Grandsons • Nephews • In-laws. You and your legacy will receive a special Legacy pin. In order to receive your Legacy pin you’ll need to sign in to www.ShrinersVillage. com and go to the Membership page and then to the Legacy drop down menu on the left hand side. You’ll be able to register there to receive your pin. Congratulations Legacy members! Welcome summer class of 2014!!! You and your Lady are now proud members of the “Greatest Fraternity in the World”! We welcome you to Ararat! We hope you enjoyed the festivities both Friday and Saturday. You have the distinction of being the first, and perhaps only, midnight class ever! Please make your Shrine experience is a bountiful one by getting involved immediately. “The bike doesn’t pedal itself”, you must attend the stated meeting, (2nd Wednesday monthly) and get involved in a club or unit right away. This will ensure the most positive experience you can have! A great way to stay informed about all the different happenings at your Shrine Center is to enroll in the “Morning Buzz”.

Any Noble who creates 2 new Nobles this year will get their Ararat dues paid! This is awesome.

Noble Klos was on a hospital ship in the North Atlantic when the war began. At the time, his ship was working as a submarine tender, and was painted grey. One day, the tanker near Joe’s boat exploded from a German torpedo, and the destroyer followed it to the bottom. Then, the U-boat surfaced and told Joe’s ship that they knew he was a hospital ship and they would not attack that ship. But, you had better paint it in the appropriate manner, white with a green stripe, because next time it might not be recognized. They repainted the ship, and eventually they headed for the impending invasion of Japan. They were in the Panama Canal when Japan was visited by a Fat Man and a Little Boy, who ended the war. Noble Art Joined the Army in 1945, and went to the Aberdeen Ordnance Proving Ground and then to school in Atlanta. From there, he headed to Yokohama, and then to Korea, where he helped to bring the Koreans back to the real world. Now, in 2014, both Nobles were recognized for their service to their country, and both are continuing to serve their friends in the Shrine. They were flown to the nation’s capitol where they joined huge crowds from many nations and many cultures, to honor all of those brave and honorable men who gave their all to make our world survive in the face of evil. They visited many memorials; Korean War, Viet Nam War, Lincoln Memorial, and Washington Monument. I’m sure they saw more than that reflected on the faces of their companions. They watched the Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. They came home, all of them, much more tired than when they left. But surely not as tired as they once had been. They came home proud and respectful, sad but joyful. They changed the course of history while they made their own history. Those of us who are part of their generation know what they feel, even though we may not have had their experiences. Those of us who came after them would be wise to remember them; who they were, and what they did. We would be wise to emulate them. www.araratshrine.com 2ND ANNUAL BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT CARNIVAL GAMES, DUNK TANK, and MUCH MORE!!!

Ill. Sir Maurice Camerlynck was absent because of illness. Oriental Guide Henry McDaniel, substituting for Chief Rabban Clarence Kirby, informed the Captain of the Guard that the Chief Rabban was about to open Ararat Temple for business. That done, Captain of the Guard Bud Higginbotham informed the Outer Guard, and then reported to Noble Henry, who informed Chief Rabban Kirby that the Temple was under a double and trusty guard. Continuing the policy of substitution, High Priest & Prophet Randy Berry surveyed the crowd and informed the Chief Rabban that our Temple was free from jeopardy as there were none present save members of our order. The Chief Rabban replied ’Tis well.” First Ceremonial Master Jeff Quibell prepared the Altar. Chaplain Loyd Gentry remembered our Nobles who had been visited by the Black Camel and gave the invocation. The Legion of Honor and the Ararat Pipes & Drums presented the colors, to the accompaniment of the Ararat Concert Band. The assembled Nobles, led by High Priest & Prophet Randy, recited the Shrine Pledge of Allegiance. The Concert Band played the National Anthem. The Captain of the Guard announced an alarm at the Outer Door. The alarm was caused by Eagle Scout Alex Diaz, who, for his Eagle Project, had built a bench for parents of Telemedicine patients. He also donated $112.00, left over from donations after all expenses for the Bench were paid. The meeting was returned to order. In compliance with a motion passed in February, the minutes of the May Meeting were not read. Recorder Mike Wheeler read one Petition for Affiliation which was approved by secret ballot. There was one Petition for Restoration, no Demits, and no Remissions. Treasurer Nick Baldi gave the Treasurer’s Report. Revenue for the General Fund was down over last month, but we are still solvent. Onion sales were very good, giving us a net profit of approximately $18,000.00, based on preliminary figures. Circus income is still looking good. The Restaurant showed a small loss in May, but less than last year, leaving the year looking pretty good. An attempt was made to present 50 Year Pins to several nobles, but only one was present. Noble Kenneth A. Nadler received his pin, and, among other achievements, we learned that he has sponsored thirteen kids into the Hospital Program, and has been the Top Line Signer on 10 petitions for new nobles. It seems he joined the Shrine as a mere child, himself. The other nobles who were not present to receive their pins were Wade E. Davis, William L. Duncan, William B. Franke, James K. Hall, Bobby L. Hicks, Larian A. Johnson, Selwyn Luben, and Graham C. Myers, Jr. Congratulations to all these Nobles who have been a member of the Shrine for 50 years. Crown of Honor Jewels were presented to a bunch of Nobles that had earned their first Jewel. Several first-time recipients did not stop with only one, but went on to earn several more. Among the big time earners were: Noble Lee Brown 211 Noble Rusty Warren 226 Noble Mac McWilliams 220 Noble Joe Klos 282 Noble Waco Dohn 223 Noble Wayne Cantrell 451 The Shriner of the Month, for the entire Shriners International Fraternity, was announced as our Noble Mac McWilliams! He received a plaque from the Imperial Office of Shriners International. He is also known around our Oasis as “Mac Emeritus. It is absolutely impossible to name all of the things he has done for the betterment of Ararat Shrine and Shriners International, but he was the force behind our Auto Swap Meets, and he organized the Country Classics Band. He deserves our admiration and praise! Ararat Shrine was the Imperial Shrine Nobles line up to receive their Crown of Honor Jewel from Chief Rabban Clarence Kirby. Chief Rabban Clarence Kirby presents Paul Black P.P. with his Crown of Honor Jewel. www.araratshrine.com Temple of the Month, which gives all of us a reason to be Proud! Recorder Mike Wheeler explained the procedure and the resumes for our Nominations for Shriner of the Month. The second nomination for Shriner of the Month was your reporter, Steve Dowdy. I was surprised, and humbled by this honor, and was presented a framed certificate. I was very pleased to be second to Mac, and I am honored to be mentioned in the same breath. Recorder Mike also reported that eight Clubs and one Unit have not yet submitted their 2013 financial reports. Treasurer Nick Baldi presented the Ararat Temple Budget for 2015 for approval of the Nobility. Approval was given by an overwhelming majority. Noble Larry Schroeder and the Sandbuggies made a contribution to the 2014 Circus. Noble Dick Newport and the Patrol presented a donation from the Corner Bar in Warsaw. No Visitors were present. CSSA 2014 is coming soon! Your deposit of $210.00 is due by July 1, and the balance of $210.00 is due by July28. In addition to the usual activities, there will be a Blues Brothers Party at 8:00 pm on Thursday, August 28, a BBQ and Karaoke on Friday Night, and a Pajama Party on Saturday Night. All of these “extras” will be in Ararat’s Hospitality Room. The Ladies Luncheon and the Golf Outing will also be on Thursday. I would not worry about boredom at this year’s CSSA. Marshal Jim Kerns reported that Circus 2014 is going quite well! Of course, we still need more donations and more ad sales. In a few weeks, we’ll be needing more Nobles to work at the Circus, and more guests to keep those Nobles busy. Noble Larry Teters was presented a Garment bag. He already had a Circus jacket. Then his 2015 dues were paid! And he deserved it all, because he has raised more than $3600.00! Noble Duane Steele was awarded a Circus Jean Jacket for over $1800.00 raised. Several Nobles received awards for their efforts to raise money for the Circus. High Priest & Prophet Randy Berry said that this year’s Vidalia Onion Program was “really successful!” Thanks to everyone, especially Noble Jim Lamb and the Director’s Staff. Oriental Guide Henry McDaniel, a new Grandpa, spoke about Shriner’s Night at the K on July13. We will join with other Temples for a night of baseball, food, and fun. Wear your fez! The Royals opponent will be the Detroit Tigers, and the cost will be $25.00 per ticket. 1st Ceremonial Master Jeff Quibell discussed the Warsaw Ceremonial. It was certainly different, and a lot of fun. The last Harem performance by the last Harem Unit was well worth watching. Thanks to Noble Jerry McClary and the Director’s Staff. Thirteen new Nobles were created. Our next Ceremonial will be October 11, at Ararat. Bingo Chairman Buck Johnson said that we gave away that huge prize, and we’ve been rewarded with the worst five weeks attendance in memory. Imitation being the most sincere form of flattery, many other Bingo Halls have been copying every special feature that we try. Nevertheless, the Bingo crew presented their check to the General Fund, once again meeting their goal! For the month of May, the players donated $395.00. Hospital Committee Chairman Steve Hanchette reported that we transported eighteen patients and family members on nine flights, using Green Passes worth about $6600.00. We also transported ten people on four Van trips at an average cost of $40.33 per patient. We had no Telemedicine appointments in May. Membership Chairman Rod McGrath said that we created a total of thirteen new Nobles at the Warsaw Ceremonial. It was a lot of fun! The number of Nobles who have not paid their dues is now 332. The Harry S. Truman Masonic Lodge meets fourth Tuesday of each month, and there is a Chance to Advance scheduled for July 26th at Rising Sun Lodge. Noble Mike DeGraff reported that the Potentate’s Golf Outing will be September 8, at Longview Golf Course. There will be no Temple meeting in July, Warsaw Ceremonial Class Honoree Bill Yardley thanked everyone for making the Ceremonial an event to remember. Noble Donnie Fowler reminded us of the Cajun Shrimp and Crawfish Boil on July12 at the Richmond Shrine Club. Tickets are $25.00 per person. Sponsorships are available for $100.00, and include two tickets. Chaplain Loyd Gentry gave the invocation. The meeting adjourned at 9:24 pm.

KEITHLY JULY 2014 Sedalia Shrine Club BY RON HINKLE, SCRIBE H ave you ever brought back that special feeling when you held your son or your daughter when they were babies and you knew that you would be responsible for shaping that child’s life? Your sons or daughters would have a chance to live a normal and full life because of what you were going to provide for them. It is and was an awesome feeling. When you talk to God, be sure and thank him for the opportunity you have to share that feeling over and over, Mr. and Lady “Shriner.” Our special children get a shot at “normal and full” because of “You.” May and June have been busy months for the Sedalia Shrine Club. Our May Dinner Meeting was represented by our Potentate and the Divan, Past Potentate and his Lady, our Ambassador, friends from Warsaw, Clinton, Warrensburg, Marshall, and Boonville, our Hospital Chairman, our representative from the Blue Lodges and his Lady, and a good showing from our own Sedalia Shrine Club Nobles and Ladies, and Charley and his Rose. Around 80 people in attendance. Our President and his Lady, Kenny and Kathy Martin thank you for a handsome turnout. Don’t forget to put our July 24th Dinner Meeting on your calendar. Our July Dinner Meeting features Don Weaver’s smoked barbequed ribs, yum yum. Nuff said. We have had an additional Bloody Mary Breakfast along with our regular monthly breakfast. Kenny thanks all of our volunteers who step up and make a successful difference for all of our monthly breakfasts. $6.00 for an all you can eat breakfast is an awesome deal folks, so come out and enjoy it and if you can lend a hand. We can always use an extra volunteer. Also, don’t forget our August 2nd Les Webb Memorial Bloody Mary Breakfast. We need your patronage, your help in the kitchen, and your help selling tickets. Let’s make this year a record. Right around the corner is the Sedalia Shrine Club Fairstand at the Missouri State Fair. We need volunteers folks as this is an essential fundraiser in keeping the Sedalia Shrine Club afloat. Our work schedule and volunteer sign up is in the Pro Shop, so come in and signup. “WE NEED YOU!” Our Golf Course awaits your play. Bill Hammerly has done a tremendous job in the upkeep and keeping operating costs down this year. He thanks all the volunteers who work with him. Come out www.araratshrine.com and enjoy the course. Our Bar is open Tuesday-Sunday 3:00 pm till 10:00 pm. So stop in and enjoy your favorite libation and some camaraderie on the shuffle board table, play darts, relax watching TV or enjoy the view outdoors on our deck. Roger will always make sure you are treated right. Our Fun Kor has performed in Marshall and Warsaw in the past two months. We would like to thank both of the clubs for inviting us. We always enjoy parading with our brothers. Always be in tune with your Father and Creator. Keep your brothers and sisters in your prayers and don’t forget those who are in service to this great nation.
