Greetings to all,
March was a very busy month for
Anah as we had a very successful Unit
Seminar, which I reported on in an
earlier issue.
Peggy and I were delighted to be invited to Pittsfield to join the Rainbow
Girls, Pittsfield Assembly #15, Waterville Assembly # 21 and Middletown
Assembly #25 who hosted degree
work. The Grand Officers conferred
the degree work on several candidates,
and the work was outstanding. Host
Worthy Advisor Allison Colson #21
used a theme of Dragnet and Perry Mason for the theme of the day as Grand
Worthy Advisor Amanda Redmond is
studying criminology at USM.
I had the opportunity to travel to Cornwall, Ontario to attend the Mid-Winter
NSA meeting. Those traveling with
me were Jesse Thomas, Asst. Chief
Rabban; Robert Turner, High Priest
& Prophet; Roger Grindle, 2nd Ceremonial Master; Andrew Constantine,
Director; Earl Seymour, Housing Director and Gordon Smith, Chief Aide.
The Imperial Officers in attendance
were Imperial Chief Rabban Dale W.
Strauss, Imperial Asst. Rabban Jerry
G. Gantt, Imperial Marshal Wayne J.
Lachut and Imperial Chaplain John H.
Stanley. Also attending was our own
member, Noble Randy Rudge Director of Membership Development, of
the Shrine International Office. They
gave us information on the status of
our hospitals, membership, and what
might be coming up at the July Imperial Session. At the urging of Noble
Rudge, I made a challenge to Imperial Chief Rabban Strauss that Anah
would beat his Temple, Kem Shriners,
in an increase in membership in 2013.
F. Lee Kaufman
Potentate
The winner would concede the birthplace of Paul Bunyan and also wear a
shirt announcing the actual birthplace
of Paul and Babe the Blue Ox.
We were also joined on Friday by
Go-Kart Captain Dave Magoon and
Craig Clifford to attend the Motor
Corps meeting to discuss changes in
the competition and the layout of the
competition to be held in Cornwall.
Our Housing Chairman, along with
the Chief Aide, visited the assigned
housing at the Nav Center which is
on the St. Lawrence River. The Nav
Center was formerly used by the Canadian Air Force as housing for the air
controllers in training. The Nav Center has all the creature comforts that
a person could desire. The rooms are
all newly renovated and the prices are
very affordable. The price includes
breakfast (full) and use of pool, weight
room and basketball court.
The Anah Clowns and Kora Clowns
held center court in the Portland Mall
March 22nd and 23rd for the first
Clown Fest, which proved to be a
great success. There will be more information in the Clown column in this
issue. March 30th found the Clowns,
Funsters and Highlanders at the Bangor Mall for the annual Easter Bunny
Day. Anah had a booth set up to display Hospital awareness and the
upcoming Circus. The booth was attended by Jesse Thomas, Donald Gordon and Lee Kaufman.
April was a very busy month for

Peggy and I, as I joined more than 50
guests on the Music City Tour starting
April 14 and returning the 21st, just
in time for the Bangor Circus to start.
I will be attending the Grand Chapter on the 26th which is being held in
Bangor this year. Then it is off to Presque Isle for the second performance
of the Circus. Many hands are needed
to make the Circus a success, so if you
can take time to help please come and
help.
Remember that the June Ceremonial is in Newport this year and Anah
needs candidates, so please start signing them up. It should be a great event.
Yours in the faith,
Lee Kaufman, Potentate
A Note from
First Lady
Peggy
Anah’s Potentate and I visited with the
Academecians on March 26, 2013. The
meeting was held at the Happy China Buffet in Bangor. As always, company was
great and the meal was delicious!
We were invited to attend a Rainbow
Girls Session in Pittsfield which was very
enjoyable. The young ladies performed
their parts beautifully and should be proud
of what they do.
The America’s Music Cities Tour is fast
approaching. The trip will be a fond
memory by the time the next issue of the
Anahgram is released. We wish to thank
all the interested people that joined us on
this trip. On May 18th we are hosting an
“Island Party.” The committee has been
busy planning this Jimmy Buffett-style
party. We hope to see many of you there
in your favorite flowered shirt, shorts, and
flip flops. Invite family and friends to join
you.
Keeping with my “Wish of Helping Children,” I would like to ask each Lady attending the June 22 Ceremonial Ladies
Luncheon, to donate an item listed on either of the Shrine Hospital’s wish lists.
The lists will be posted on Anahshriners.
com and at the Shrine Office. Robyn Dulac, Lady of Anah’s Outer Guard, will collect your item at the luncheon being held
at St. Martins Church in Palmyra on Saturday June 22nd. She will make sure
these gifts get to either Boston Burns or
Springfield Orthopedic Hospitals. Think
of how many children/patients we can
help by accomplishing this.
Equal Housing Lender
A good part of success is getting along with those people you can’t get ahead of.

It is with great sadness that I write this
month’s column. On March 15 Noble Tom
Tash passed to that unseen Temple after a
courageous battle with cancer. Tim had
been a member of the 4x4 Unit for about
two years and was a pleasure to be around.
His great smile and that lime green 4x4
went great together. Our thoughts and
prayers go out to his wife, Renee and family.
Parades this year are Special Olympics
on June 7th, Machias on the 13th, and
Ceremonial in Newport on the 22nd. In
July we have Winslow and Eastport on the
4th, St. Albans, Pittsfield, and Lincoln on
the 20th. In August we will be at Dover on
the 3rd and Dexter Field Days on the 10th.
In September we will be at Harmony on
the 2nd, and Ellsworth on the 14th. The
Ellsworth parade is the Maine State Federation of fire fighters, and they asked all
units to participate.
Birthday wishes this month go to Jesse
Patterson, and yes, this old Reporter is
also a year older.
Anniversaries this month are Paul and
Rhonda Scott and Bob and Perlene Libby.
If you ask me, these fine young ladies got
taken advantage of. Would also like to
welcome Gary and his wife Ramoa Sudsbury to the unit. He also has a birthday
this month. His wife’s birthday was last
month. I will give them a little time before
I start picking on them.
At our annual meeting Potentate Lee informed us that all motorized units must
wear helmets, we also must have kill
switches close at hand, doing this, Anah
is trying to keep our insurance rate down.
Blue Lodges that go dark in the summer
have a lot of work to finish up and could
use your help. If your Lodge does not go
dark in the summer, then their work is just
beginning, and could still use your help..

DAUGHTERS
OF THE NILE
Caron Kilton, P.Q.
Reporter
Congratulations to all Ankh Temple Officers on their recent Installation. We have
some new officers and some old officers in
new positions. Our newly-installed Queen
is Queen Teresa Potvin; other installed
line officers are Princess Royal Peggyanne
Kilton, Princess Tirzah Betty Trimm, and
Princess Badoura Donna Wood. Moving
over to Junior Past Queen is Jane Ritchie.
The line of Daughters of the Nile is a fiveyear commitment. We welcome Pr. Donna
Wood to that line. Pr. Donna, as well as the
other ladies on the line, have been faithful attending and serving members since
their initiation into the Temple. PQ Lorena
Fenlason has succeeded PQ Beverly Polley as Pr. Banker and Pr. Susan Bowden
has agreed to process the Papyrus, our
monthly news bulletin for members.
Plans are under way for a Ceremonial
in May and also in July with our official
visit from Supreme Queen. Fund-raising
activities are commencing for the year
which include ongoing projects and the
annual golf tournament.
Several Ladies are traveling to Texas
for Supreme Session 2013, 100 years of
Nile Texas Style, Grapevine, Texas, June
16-20. There are a week of activities
planned for fun and fellowship, for training, a session and election of Supreme Officers for 2013-2014. There will be evenings of special evening performances by
the many units. The Ankh Temple Swingers will be performing in their mighty fine
Texan Cowgirl costumes. And finally, on
Thursday evening, everyone waits in anticipation for the unique entrance of the
Supreme Queen-elect and then the beautiful Installation ceremony of the Supreme
Officers. If you wish to view the pageantry and Installation, pictures are usually posted quickly to the Daughters of the
Nile web site.
The Downeast Daughters Club has begun their year of activities with a “For the
Kids” fair day in April. The day is as much
fun for members as our guests. Children
are entertained with crafts and games
while their parents have the opportunity
to shop at the White Elephant table, Vendor tables, Bake Table, & enter tickets for
the many items of the Chinese Auction.
The Club thanks the business of the Machias area for their generous donations.
Ellsworth Builders Supply donated a picnic table for the raffle. Area restaurants,
gift shops, grocery stores gave donations
of gift cards or items making our day of
working for the children a huge success.
This year, there was a “Gift Tree” raffle
containing gift cards and scratch off tickets.

May is once again here and parade season is close. I have been doing the worst
job at writing my little column for the
NASCARS. I can only improve.
The BIGGEST EVENT in the near future
is the Ceremonial on June 20, 21, 22 and
our NASCARS Timberland Acres Campground weekend JUNE 28, 29, 30. I know
it is soon after Ceremonial weekend but
the FUN is well worth another weekend
of camping. This will be our third year at
Timberland Acres. Last year had events
that were new and amazing. I strongly
recommend not missing this year, so call
Timberland Acres and book a site for the
weekend.
Birthday greetings for May go to Tami
Linscott, Meghan Page, Raife Rachon,
Jessica Moore, Lorraine Klug, Michelle
Miles, David Varnum, Greg Varnum,

Bangor-Brewer Shrine Club had its meeting on March 21, 2013. There were 31
Nobles, Divan members and guests pres-
ent. The meeting was presided over by
Vice President Dan Taylor. The Invocation was given by Recorder, Past Potentate
Larry Hersom.
Welcome to Shriner Galen Young who
has moved from the West Coast to Bangor.
He is a member of AFIFI Temple and will
be joining Anah. The meal was smothered
beef, mashed potato, carrots, pickled
beets, rolls, and gingerbread with ice
cream. The kitchen crew was Denny
Smith, George Alley, and Yogi Seymour.
Thanks again to everyone who helped
with the meal.
Past Potentates were represented by Larry Hersom (1986). The Divan was represented by Marshall Don Gordon, Recorder
Larry Hersom and Oriental Guide Steve
Trimm, Sr., High Priest & Profit Bob
Turner, Assistant Chief Rabban Jessie
Thomas, and Illustrious Potentate Lee
Kaufman.
No Secretary’s report as it is in the Anahgram. No Treasurer’s report. No old or
new business. The 50/50 raffle of $68 was
won by Noble Dean Hoke who donated
half back to the Club. Thanks to Assistant
Secretary Fred Brown for his help that
night with dinner ticket sales and other duties. Illustrious Potentate Lee Kaufman
reminded everyone that this year is the
50th continuous Shrine Circus in Bangor.
He asked everyone to reach to people who
could benefit from the Hospital Clinics on
May 11 in Bangor and Ellsworth.
The
Annual Steak feed is on May 16. Plan to
attend and bring a friend.
Makes a great gift for every occasion

Greetings from the Waldo County Shrine
Club.
Our May 9th meeting will be a Ladies
Night and will feature a catered dinner
served buffet-style. The main course will
be prime rib or seafood Newburgh. Try to
RSVP to our secretary or President so we
can get a headcount so we’ll have enough
for everyone.
Do you have your 100 token yet? See us
on the 2nd Thursday of every month for
more details.
Summer is fast approaching which
means our Summer Ceremonial is just
around the corner. Hopefully you have all
of your candidates ready for a great time
in Newport.
Have you paid your Shrine dues? Our
great fraternity seems to be losing members for non-payment of dues. Check your
dues card and make sure it says 2013. We
have lots of opportunity to grow Anah in a
positive direction, but we can’t get there if
we can’t keep the members we have.
Are you looking for something at Anah
and can’t find it? Maybe it’s time to explore creating a unit or club with other
like-minded Nobles and Masons.
why Chief Steve Smith was reluctant to
order an investigation of the two incidents. He owned up to the fact that he
turned into the “Alligator” after partaking
in too much humorous drink. His loud
reptilian behavior brought about noise
complaints from the neighbors. He also
admitted to having agreed to help fix the
filter in a swimming pool and then did
the backstroke to get out of the deal. He
said the water was too cold. The pool was
heated. As it turned out, this Reporter’s
wife, Candy, completed the task. A real
cold reality check for Chief Smith. As
Inspector Mason and Chief of Detectives
Clarke said, Kops, this case is closed.
Now let’s move to the lighter side. Last
month’s question was: What did the DRation, introduced in 1937, consist of?
Answer: The Hershey’s Secret Weapon!
Hershey’ s was approached to create a per-
fect indestructible candy. The bar had to
fit in a pocket, have enough nourishment
to keep troops going, and be capable of
withstanding extremely warm temperatures without melting. But most importantly, the chocolate couldn’t taste very
good. Hershey’s answered the call with
the D-Ration. A chocolate bar that was so
hard that soldiers risked breaking teeth by
biting it and were treated to a blast of bitterness should they crack into the center.
It also played havoc on troops digestive
tracts, earning the nickname “Hilter’s secret weapon”.
This month’s question is in keeping with
the subject of candy… How did Forrest
Mars come with idea for M&M’s?
Time has come to close the “Blotter” for
this month and to remember, “IT’S ALL
ABOUT THE KIDS”.

Just when I think we have crawled out
from under the blanket of winter, we seem
to get blindsided by another blast of crap.
Mike and I attended the HCSC Ladies
Night last night in Ellsworth, very happy
to be riding in my Town Car, and we were
talking about how the weather seemed to
have straightened out and the roads have
started to lie back down. Then I wake
up this morning and the ground is white.
What a mess!! Oh well. I’ve always said if
we could take the last week of March and
the first two weeks of April out of the calendar we wouldn’t miss a thing. Is there
anywhere else on Earth where you can
stand in mud up to your ankles and have
dust blowing in your eyes?
Not too much going on with the Directors
Staff lately. We joined the Bangor-Brewer
Club for a joint meeting on April 18th.
Circus assignments were discussed and
the June Ceremonial assignments were
also discussed. Again I had to get my information about the meeting secondhand,
as my wife Leni and myself, along with 50
other Nobles and guests, were accompanying our Potentate Lee and Lady Peggy
on their music city tour to New Orleans,
Memphis and Nashville. I will write more
about that next month.
By the time this is published in the
May Anahgram Shrine activity will have
picked up on April 26, 27, and 28th with
our Bangor Circus. This is ANAH’s biggest fundraiser and requires a lot of man-
power. Ushering, selling trinkets and tickets and loading and unloading attendees,
directing traffic, finding lost kids, making
cotton candy and anything else that needs
doing is always in big demand. If all Nobles could find time to come and work
just one show that would help a lot. Just
show up at the front door and someone
there will find you a job. If you can’t help
in Bangor you will have another chance
in Presque Isle on May 2,3, and 4. After
the Circus on May 11 come the Screening Clinics. All seven of the clinics will
be held from 10 AM until noon on that
THE ANAHGRAM
Saturday. I have been quite instrumental
in starting up a new clinic location in Ellsworth. Maine Coast Memorial Hospital is
really on board with this. As most of you
know these clinics are held each year to
try to reach more prospective patients for
our hospitals so let’s all make an extra effort to try and find some kids with orthopedic problems so that our hospitals can
work their magic.
That’s it for this month. Be good to one
another and attend your Blue Lodge. That
is where new Nobles come from!

Noble Fred Patterson, Reporter
Greetings Nobles and Ladies.
I know that March of 2012 was in the
80s but this weather we have been having makes everyone feel like we are still
in winter. I certainly hope that changes
around real soon. The Second Section
held our monthly meeting at the Shrine
Center with a pretty good showing of Nobles in attendance. Illustrious Potentate
Lee Kaufman was in attendance, albeit,
around 11 minutes late, but who’s counting. Oh that’s right, I guess I am. As I
always say, if you don’t want something
reported or posted, be careful of what you
do or say at our meetings!! Potentate Lee
was great about the ribbing that went on
and we were glad to have him in attendance. The 2013 Anah Shrine Circus will
be over by this publication. More to follow next month on that event.
When everyone receives this article, the
June Ceremonial is about a month and a
half away. As always we should be in line
for a great time. It’s my understanding
that the Second Section will be held at Nokomis High School and accommodations
are being made to make it easier for us to
set up for our work while the First Section
is doing their work. As of this publication, there are still rooms available in the
Newport area and there are some sites left
at the campgrounds around to house those
who need it. With regard to the Ceremonial, as everyone should know by now we
will be adjusting how that all goes with
regard to the Second Section. Meetings of
everyone involved will be required so we
can pull this off without a hitch. Director
Adam Beals and Lady Jaime along with
myself and Lady Monica will be attending the 2013 Shrine Directors Association
in Knoxville, Tennessee to compete in a
stunt competition in hopes to bring back a
cash prize for our work. It’s my opinion
that you learn a lot about a person when
you hang out with them. With the stunt
that Director Beals came up with for our
inclusion in the competition, I’m not sure
about how stable our Director really is!!
For those of you who know our Director,
you will know what I mean. We all look
forward to our trip and hope to bring back
some great ideas for the unit.
Has everyone seen the shows that are
coming to town in 2013 on the Waterfront?
As we will be losing our large parking lot
for the concerts, we are looking into a
better location as we speak and we are in
hopes to secure that in the coming weeks
as the concerts are right around the corner.
Second Assistant Director Tom Breitweg
or Noble Mike Gray will be contacting
people to help with the parking for these
concerts. Ladies are more than welcome
to join in on this fundraiser. For anyone

The Second Sections fourth annual Noble of the Year party is set for October 5th
at the Shrine Center. The recipient of the
honor this year is the Chief Rabban, Tom
Clukey. Noble Clukey has been a very active member of Anah for many years and
is very deserving of this honor. This party
has been an awesome time for the past
three years and with this year’s recipient it is sure to be a heck of a time. Stay
tuned for further information in upcoming
Anahgrams.
It was great to see Noble Bill MacGlaughlin at our April meeting and he
seems to be doing great in his recovery.
He and Lady Donna are well on their way
to recovery from their stays in the hospital
within the last couple of months. Great to
see you at the meeting Bill. The Second
Section wishes Noble Doug Hardison a
quick recovery from a horse riding mishap he had while on vacation awhile ago.
Hope you have a quick recovery.
Congratulations to Noble Krayton Allen as he was the big winner of our 50/50
drawing at the April meeting. I’m sure
Krayton will buy Lady Carol something
nice with his new windfall!!
With the summer months rolling around
the corner the unit looks forward to seeing the snowbirds as they return from their
winter “vacations”. Some of you honorary Nobles should make a point to make it
to a meeting; we would love to see you at
one of our meetings before you make the
trip back to Florida in the fall.
May birthday wishes go out to Ladies
Trisha Clark, Donna Kitchen, Lois Overlock and Marge Severence and Nobles
Adam Beals, Sherwell Littlefield, Greg
Patterson, Glen Sherman.
May anniversary wishes go out to Chad
& Susan Cirard, Paul & Carol Cirard, Jim
& Dianne Dunn, Jerry & Denise Hayes,
Joe & Donna Kitchen, Jason & Jessica
Snowdeal, Dana & Sherry Wardwell and
Harland & Carol Williamson.
Our next scheduled meeting will be held
Friday, May 3, 2013 at the Shrine Center
which will be a Ladies Night. Followed
by our June meeting on June 7th where the
final preparations for the Ceremonial will
be completed. Attendance is important at
this meeting to make sure everyone knows
what to expect at the Ceremonial. A lot
will be discussed and everyone should try
to attend. The June meeting is our last
meeting for the summer and we will resume meetings in September.
Until next time, think membership and
the Ceremonial. Remember: Be a “Top
line signer” for 3 candidates and you earn
an Anah Shrine Watch.
About the only extravagance most people hate to admit is their mania to spend money on themselves.

THE ANAHGRAM
CLOWNS
Noble
John “Flip-Flop”
Kidder,
It should already be spring, but winter
seems reluctant to leave. I guess we’ll just
have to be patient a little bit longer. Requests for Clown appearances at various
community events are pouring into the
unit so it looks like it will be a busy spring
and summer.
At our unit meeting on March 15 we approved with regret Eddie (EC the Clown)
Herbest’s request for Emeritus Clown
status. Eddie and Linda are wonderful
people who have done a lot for the unit
over the years. I’m sure that they will
be spending more time with their granddaughter Brooke. Stay well and we will
miss you both!
Clown Casino Night was held on March
16 and even though attendance was a little
less than previous years, people still had a
ton of fun. We saw a lot of familiar faces
and a lot of new faces as well. Past Potentate and Honorary Clown Norris “Pinkie” Nickerson and our Divan Rep Don
Gordon certainly rolled up their sleeves
and helped out. They both joined the fun
with Norris sporting a long pink wig and
Don wearing Piggy’s grey afro Clown
wig. Congratulations to the entire unit on
a job well done and especially to Spiffy
for chairing the event and to Jappo and the
kitchen crew for delicious food.
Clowns invaded Portland on the weekend
of March 22 for the first annual Northeast
Klown Fest hosted by Anah and Kora
Clowns and held at the Maine Mall. This
event was conceived and brought to life
by Dave (Busta) Denis with a Board of
Directors comprised of Piggy, Petals, and
Wow-e from Anah and Dusty, Turkey
Lips, Kracker, and Speckles from Kora.
Boss Clowns Piggy from Anah, Robo
from Kora, and Moochie from the County
Klowns capably represented their Shrine
Centers. We were very honored that Past
ISCA President Ernie (Rollo) Pearlstein
of Aleppo Shrine Center, a very accomplished clown and Shriner, made the trip
to join the fun and merriment. Kora Potentate Everett Kaherl and members of his
Divan attended. Media coverage and online streaming throughout the day on Saturday was provided by WMPG 90.9 FM.
Approximately 25 clowns participated in
working clown, balloon twisting, and skit
competitions to the delight of mall patrons of all ages. Many of the clowns who
participated had many years of clowning
experience, but this event is designed for
clowns of all skill levels and experience.
Competition winners included: Single
Balloons 1st -Diggah Anah, 2nd-Patches
Anah, 3rd-Robo Kora; Multiple Balloons
1st-Patches Anah, 2nd-Gizmo Anah, 3rdDingles Kora; Single Clown Skits 1stPatches Anah, 2nd-Lugnut Kora; Two
Clown Skits 1st-Robo and Lugnut Kora,
2nd-Dingles and Kracker Kora; Group
Skit 1st-Kora; People’s Choice for Working Clown Award 1st-Lugnut Kora, 2ndGizmo Anah, 3rd-Harley D Kora. The
Double Tree Hotel across from the Maine
Mall provided comfortable accommodations for the event. Everyone had a wonderful time and can’t wait for next year’s
Fest to be held on the weekend of March
28, 2014. For more information, please
check out www.facebook.com/klownfest
or www.Klownfest.com
On March 23, Shamrock, a very charitable clown in our unit, did what he does
so well - - organize and participate in a
fundraiser in Lincolnville for a first responder battling leukemia. Over 400 people attended and over $30,000 was raised.
Shamrock solo clowned at this event
where he twisted balloons, entertained the
children, and raised $150 in donations to
“pie” the Lincolnville Fire Chief. Great
work, Shamrock!
Three events in a single day happened
on March 30. Clowns at Circus Kickoff
at Bangor Mall included Piggy, Spiffy,
Scooter who did a clown makeup demo,
Sluggah, TC Trashcan, Gizmo, Coota,
Babycakes, Shamrock, Crash, Jappo,
Iggy, and Div-It. Clowns at Home Depot Children’s Workshop included Fou,
Iggy, Jappo, Div-It, Babycakes, and TC.
Clowns at Family Fun Lanes in Bangor for
the Pathfinders Bowling Benefit included
Div-It, Crash, Piggy, Sluggah, and TC.
An April Fools Day Tip-A-Clown event
at Texas Roadhouse to benefit the International Shrine Clown Association (ISCA)
Red Sneaker Fund for Burns Research
raised nearly $560. Jappo, Pooch, TC
Alimony is like paying installments on the car after the wreck.

Our meeting on April 2 was a good one,
ten members were present as well as our
Divan Rep Noble Don Gordon, and Potentate Lee Kaufman. The treasurers report
was read, and then we turn to discussing,
of coarse, the Circus’s. As you probably
know this will be the last time the Shrine
Circus will be in the Bangor Auditorium.
Any and all of you that can help out during
the three days, any time, will be appreciated. Hope to see you there. We have the
Special Olympics coming up Friday June
7, and the Ceremonial Saturday, June 22.
The word is that the parade route in Newport will be fairly short, shorter than we
usually do, and only one small hill. Hurrah. One Anah Function we haven’t had
for a while, Dexter Field Days on Saturday, August 10, the route is not the same as
the last time we were there, easier I hope.
The 50/50 drawing had no winner this
month, then the meeting was adjourned.
One couple will celebrate their anniversary this month, and the happy couple is
Noble Randy and Lady Chrystal Adams.
Congratulations to you both. See you at
the Circus, either one of them. Until next
time, be safe.
Noble Ron Biliancia, Reporter
Hello Fellow Academicians,
Congratulations to Galen Swan who has
been elected as our newest Honorary Lifetime Member. Thanks very much to him
for his many years of service to our unit.
Welcome to Scott Hoyle from Lakeview
Plantation who is our newest member and
will be in the Technicians Section. Welcome also to his Lady Maggie.
If you still haven’t paid your 2013 dues,
checks for ten dollars are to be made out
to Anah Academicians and sent to Anah
Academicians C/O Ron Bilancia 59 Allison Park, Brewer, ME 04412.
The next unit meeting will be Wednesday, May 29th at Happy China Buffet
on Stillwater Avenue in Bangor. We especially welcome those who we haven’t
seen in a while. All members are greatly
valued and always welcome. Just come
on ahead. Ladies, kids, grandkids, other
relatives, friends, etc. are also always welcome to accompany you.
Our Director Steve Mosley has been
working on updating our personal infor-
mation roster. If you have not yet been
contacted and have changes we need to
make in any of your contact information,
please let us know. You can contact me
directly. We would especially like to have
updated phone numbers and email addresses. If you are not on the email list
and haven’t been receiving unit emails,
please send me your email address, and
I’ll get you aboard.
The March 27th meeting at Happy China
was a success with 35 members and Ladies in attendance. It was great to see
our Divan Rep. and now Potentate Lee
Kaufman and Lady Peggy at our meeting.
Lee had several important announcements
including the 2013 Anah Shriners Raffle.
This year there are several prizes including various motorcycle and ATV vehicles
or large cash prizes. Tickets are only a
buck a piece, and the unit gets a quarter
for each ticket sold. (Make sure to write
“Academicians” on the stubs returned to
the Recorder’s office.) If anyone would
like some tickets to buy or sell, you can
get them at the Recorder’s office, or notify
any of our unit officers and we’ll get you
in touch with someone who can get you
tickets.
As of yet we have not had the Circus, so
more on that next time.
The June ceremonial in Newport is coming up right up. If you would like to be
involved but don’t have a definite plan
or haven’t been contacted, please contact
your Section Master or any of the governing officers, and we’ll get you set up.
This summer there is a big state Firefighter’s Association Convention and parade in
Ellsworth in which Anah Shriners units
will also be involved. Please stay tuned
as more information will be forthcoming
about putting together a group from our
unit to participate in this parade. The Firefighters have had this in Ellsworth before.
Some will remember when they did it in
1975 and had the two lead actors, Kevin
Tighe and Randolph Mantooth, from the
TV show “Emergency” in the parade. I
was at that parade as a young kid and remember it well.
Have a great May everyone. And, as always, don’t hesitate to contact me at 9892617 or rbilancia@roadrunner.com with
any news, comments, concerns, gossip,
jokes, outright lies, or just plain old complete and utter nonsense that you would
like to generously share with our Nobles,
Ladies, and Anah Shrinedom in general.

Tri-County Shrine Club held their monthly meeting on the 20th of March at the
Dexter Club. The 21 Nobles in attendance
enjoyed a fine Steak Suppah served by the

When you read this the Circus will be
over. Thanks to all who helped at Bangor
& Presque Isle.
From the Secretary:
Check to see if you have paid your dues
to the unit.
From the Director: Thanks for all you
did last month.
Lloyd and the Director attended the TriCounty meeting in March in Dexter.

Well, spring is here, although winter
doesn’t seem to want to leave the north.
Soon we will be planning our summer
camping trips.
Since this article is for the May Anahgram, I won’t repeat the contact information for our spring get-together at Narrows
Too in Trenton.
We received some information regarding
the Northeast Camel Caravan. I have already emailed this to those whom I have
on my email list. The Caravan was formed
to promote fellowship among members of
the Shrine who enjoy camping. Membership is open to any Noble, and his family, in good standing in a Northeast Shrine
Center. They currently have members
from Aleppo, Bektash and Kora Shrine
Centers and would welcome newcomers.
Membership dues are $5.00 per year. This
year’s Annual Meeting is May 31-June2 at
Bayley’s Camping Resort, 52 Ross Road,
in Scarborough, ME (207-883-6043). It
will include campfires, pot luck breakfast
and dinner, and a Chinese Auction. Cost
is $30 per night plus tax for full hookup.
Contact them directly and mention you
are with the Camel Caravan. For more
information, please call Noble Fred Simmons at 603-475-7410 or email nansimmons@comcast.net.
For June Ceremonial, in addition to Palmyra Campground (207-938-5677), we
also have been offered an opportunity to
dry camp at no charge. It is within walking distance to the Shrine activities that
weekend. Call Tom Breitweg at 207-4168267 for details.
The NASCARS are having a fundraising weekend with a NASCAR theme at
Timberland Campground in Trenton on
June 28-30. There should be an ad in
this month’s (May) Anahgram with more
information. If any Kamper would like
to attend, contact Debbie at Timberland
(207-667-3600) or info@timberlandacrespark.com and tell them you are with the
Shrine.
Remember to mark your calendar for the
Blueberry Festival in Machias August 1618.
Our Fall Business Meeting will be at
Balsam Woods Campground in Abbott
the weekend of September 13-15. The
rate is $35 plus tax for full hookup (which
includes cable television this time). They
will reserve a block of sites through July
15th. You need to make your own reservations. If you make reservations after
July 15th, it will be on a site available basis. Their phone number is 207-876-2731
and let Matt or Jamie know you are with
the Anah Kampers.
On a more serious note, we have at least
27% of our membership in arrears on their
dues, several over two years. Dues can be
sent to Don Wiswell 93 River Road, Or-
rington, ME 04474. If you have questions if or how much you owe, Don’s
phone is 207-989-6828 and his email is
donwiswell@yahoo.com. If you no longer camp and do not wish to be a member,
please let Don know so he can remove you
from his list.
May birthdays are: Cindy Blyther, Lyman Blyther, Sandra Fulton, Rose Mondville, Doug Monson, Phyllis Watson, Ronald Watson, and Amy Wood.
May anniversaries are: Mike & Maria
Bagley, Clinton & Sandra Fulton, Ken
& Bonnie Whitney, and Tom & Duffy
Woods.
Any news, errors or omissions, please
email me at lblyt@yahoo.com.
There is still time
to buy an Anah calendar
for yourself or as a gift.

The March 6th meeting was held at Pat’s
Pizza with 29 members present. The meeting was called to order by President Tyler
Dunning. Old and new business was discussed. Potentate Lee Kaufman was on
hand to give us an update for the coming
year. Winner of the raffle was Joe Marshall. The meeting adjourned at 7:00.
It was voted to have Ladies Night at Pat’s
Pizza on April 2nd. It was a huge success
with over 50 people in attendance. I had
an opportunity to sit next to Carole Simpson, wife of Past Potentate Geddes Simpson. She asked me not to write anything
about her, so I told her I’d be a gentleman
and keep my mouth shut. There was a nice
presentation of the Daughters of the Nile
and Love for Children Tour by Harold and
Bev Polley. The ladies received flowers
to take home. By the end of the evening
some of the ladies were talking to Lady
Penny Fernald regarding another Ladies
Night. Apparently all enjoyed the evening.
Bruce Cameron was the grand prize winner of the fuel raffle.
The May meeting will be at Pat’s Pizza
on the 7th. P.S. Everyone - write this date
on your calendar: June 13th Annual Lobster Feed at Howard Heath’s in Penobscot.
Remember, bring a fellow Mason or Shriner and have a good time.
Now for the news that nobody wants to
hear or cares about. Noble Wayne Butler and Lady Phyllis are the owners of a
new Kawasaki side-by-side. I’m not sure
if they said it is yellow or camouflage,
so I’m headed to Sullivan to check it out.
Past Potentate had problems from dropping some wood on his foot. Also heard
that Geddes Simpson has been using his
wife’s car lately. I guess he’s trying to save
mileage on his car. Tom Fernald has been
in Florida for two weeks visiting friends.
I thought he was going back to Cuba for
more cigars. Chuck Bucklin is building a
new storage building. Steve and Wanda
Fernald will be vacationing in Myrtle
Beach shortly. Also heard he has been redoing the master bedroom at camp. P.S.
I wonder why he is starting this project
so late in life. I would like to thank Past
Potentate John Fernald for re-filling my
pickle jar.
We extend our sympathy to the family of
Wesley Rolfe who passed away recently.
Wesley was a long-time member and Past
Captain of the Lobster Boat Unit.
Get well wishes go out to Donnie Wright
and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Remember, every member just received
a letter from Secretary Joe Marshall.
Please fill it out and send it back to him.
The Shrine Club is still thinking seriously
about a degree team. If interested, get in
touch with Joe Marshall at 667-2544. His
e-mail address is joe@mjmarshallarts.

CHANTERS
Noble Carl Stewart, Reporter
The Chanters finally did get a chance to
thank Past Potentate and retiring Recorder
Sonny Crocker for all he has done for us
by treating him to a dinner at the Olive
Garden. Twenty eight years of service is
a long time. Thanks Sonny. I’m sorry that
I couldn’t make it but, you see, the trout
were biting up at Northeast Cary.
Happy birthday wishes to Alexander
Phillips. We are looking forward to you
rejoining us.

To borrow from Paul Harvey, “You’ve
heard what the news is. Now stand by for
the Rest of the Story.” Greetings Nobles
and Ladies another month is upon us and
Global Warming had temperatures in
Northern Maine skyrocketing up to nine
degrees on the morning of April 3rd. Stay
tuned for the second half of my article,
as it may be the most controversial yet. I
may lose friends, because of the divisive
nature of the subject matter.
But first, I have to update you on our
infamous St. Patrick’s Day performance.
We had the crowd at Geaghan’s Pub rocking to the harmonies of Pipe Major Paul
Hazard and his Highlanders. We played
several Anah Highlander original tunes
penned by Ernie Smith, and the drummers played an original drum salute. The
crowd went wild when the rhythm of the
drums rat-a-tat-tatted during the mid-concert solo. People of all ages enjoyed the
festivities, and more importantly they had
a very positive exposure to the Shrine.
March 30th took us to the Bangor Mall for
the annual bunny hop. We were pleased to
see the large crowd that the Anah Clowns
and Funsters were entertaining. There
were a lot of kids smiling.
Some may have been smiling because we
moved our performance to another part of
the mall, but we will never know. I saw
a couple of people (a father and his son)
who drove down from Millinocket just
to see us perform. The lad has been taking pipe lessons for a little over a year.
I can say that if he continues, he has the
potential to be a competition piper. Some
people followed us around the whole mall
during our near hour-long performance.
Our next performance will be at the Husson University graduation in May. We
will follow that with the Special Olympics, College of the Atlantic graduation,
Machias’ 250th Anniversary, and the June
Ceremonial in Newport. That is just part
of our summer schedule.
“And now, the Rest of the Story.” I was
thinking about the Waltons. A fabulous
TV show from the 70s. Have you ever
wondered if the Waltons were Shriners
what unit they would be in? I have. Heck
the family is so big; it could be its own
unit. I think Grandpa and Cousin Boone
would be in the Moonshiner’s Unit, and if
there wasn’t such a unit, I think they would
work on the Camel’s Milk trailer. John
(the father), is more difficult to pinpoint,
but I’m thinking that he would make a
good Hobo the Clown. He wouldn’t even
have to change his clothes. John Boy was
too lazy to be in a unit. Besides after he
sold “John Boy’s Meadow” I think Grandpa would have black balled him anyway.
Jason would be in the Shrine Band. Ben,
given his ambition, would most likely be
on the Divan. Jim Bob would either be in
the Motor Corps driving a motorcycle or
in the NASCARS.
Stay tuned for next month’s article when
I analyze the Dukes of Hazzard! Don’t
you dare miss it. In the meantime, if
anyone would like piping or drumming
instruction, please contact me at pipingleprechaun@hotmail.com.
And as always may Gott segne euch.

Greetings from the North
Is Spring ever going to get here?
The April Shrine Club meeting was held
on a recent Sunday, with a great breakfast
that was prepared by the Oriental Band.
The main topic of the meeting was “Circus”, along with the Gun raffle ticket
sales.
The club has been busy hosting the Kids
party and the OTC Winter Outing. This
year marked the 24th year that the Shrine
has helped with this project.
All the Nobles are getting ready to do
their part to help out at the Circus. We appreciate all the help we can get from the
Nobles and Ladies.
One of the Bangor Clowns visited us at
our meeting. I am not sure why. Maybe he
made a wrong turn on 95 or was he still
here from the December Christmas Party?
We were graced with the presence of two
Past Potentates, Richard Hallett and Tony
Bowers. Tony usually has some comments
and a story or two to tell, we caught him
off guard and he had to read Joke off
someone’s cell phone.
We then asked PP Dick Hallett if he had
anything to comment on about the Temple. Dick mentioned that Clinic will be
held in Bangor on May 17th and the regional Clinic will be held in Presque Isle
on May 11th.
In closing, think Circus, Membership,
and support your Blue Lodges.
There will be cake and candles this month
for the following Nobles: Arthur Dority,
Edwin DeWitt, Leman Smith, and Corey
Austin. The Lady, Violet Grant. Birthday
wishes to ALL of YOU.
Happy anniversary to Noble and his
Lady: Jerry and Marlene Cole. Wishing
you many more.

The Lobster Boat Unit kicked off the
2013 season with its first meeting of the
year in March at our new meeting location in Machias. We are just starting to get
some parades lined up; more on that later.
The unit was very successful with its
calendar sales and big thanks goes out to
all the members for doing a great job with
those.
We are in serious need of a couple of new
members to strap on a helmet and parade a
Noble Andrew St. Amant, Reporter
Extra, extra read all about it! We are
looking for Nobles to march with us. Did
you know that we march so that others
can walk! We are also looking for some
Nobles that can play a drum. It would
be great to have a beat that could match
our fun-loving feet. Come and join us for
some flag-wagging FUN!
We planned our meeting for the 7th of
April. Can’t wait to share our upcoming
parade schedule and how great the meal
tasted. Thank You, the Star for preparing
and serving us.

Shriners Hospitals for Children® – Boston hosts Baystate Hand Group Networking Seminars
Katie Siwy MS, OTR/L, occupational
therapist at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Boston, is playing a key role in the
professional organization, the Baystate
Hand Group, a hand specialty interest group and professional network for
Occupational and Physical Therapists.
Katie (pictured: left) has been participating with the group for two years and
is emerging as an influential member,
currently acting as the group facilitator.
When asked about her experience with
the group, Katie said “It has allowed me
the opportunity for increased networking
with people who are specialized in hand
and upper extremity rehabilitation and are
excellent resources. Being part of this
network allows me to share ideas with
other specialists, which in turn enables
Shriners to provide the best care for our
patients. It’s about staying fresh and
current.”
Baystate Hand Group is a Massachusetts
based network of hand therapists with
approximately 80 active members. The
group meets monthly for continued learning and to exchange cutting edge ideas. Areas of discussion include new techniques,
research, and technology. The group also
serves as a networking platform for members’ questions and referrals.
As group facilitator, Katie generates
topics and coordinates speakers for the
monthly meetings. Recently Shriners Hospitals for Children – Boston’s Dr. Anthony
Perrone presented on surgical reconstruction of upper extremities. Other topics that
Katie has coordinated include treatment
protocol for complex hand transplantation, hand reconstruction and elbow fractures.
Because of Katie’s role, Shriners Hospitals for Children - Boston has become the
site host for Baystate Hand Group’s meetings since this past September. Serving
as the host site has been an honor for the
hospital and has provided a great opportunity for Shriners Hospitals for Children
– Boston to gain more exposure within the
medical community.

Anah Band is moving at a fast pace to
prepare for Circus and summer parades.
April has made us really earn our pay with
weekly practices in Newport and at the
Anah Shrine Center in Bangor. We have
been fortunate to add several friends of
Anah to our band that are very well versed
in their instruments. We have two clarinets, a tuba, two extra trumpets, and we
even have a xylophone keeping time in the
background!
We are always looking to add some new
musicians to our group; big band music
is much more fun when you have a really big band! Brass, wind, piano, guitar,
bass, or piano. Lessons and instruments
provided to any and all who will be willing to learn something new. We have been
blessed with several friends of the band
who regularly come and sit with us and
add to our sound. Two Mondays a month
for a practice commitment plus some parades to boot.
Special thanks to Noble Jon Lessor
for kindly donating a vintage sax to our
group, now we need a person who is willing to step up and honk on it for us.
Remember to find that experienced
player or an adventuresome Mason to be
a Noble and take part with us, they are out
there. Watch us grow and play traditional
march music and new music with a modern mode.

For Kids
Did you know that the aluminum tabs used to open your favorite drinks also have the
power to help kids defy the odds? Shriners Hospitals for Children® provide medical
care to children with spinal cord injuries, cleft lip and palate, or are in need of burn or
orthopedic care, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. You can help make a kid
move again, walk again, smile again just by collecting your can tabs and dropping
them off at the Anah Shrine Center. A Shriner will pick them up and the proceeds will

Greetings Nobles and Ladies, spring has
finally sprung! Which is great since I’m a
big wimp when it comes to thin ice and I
can finally fish again.
Recently some Funsters were at the Bangor Mall for the circus kick-off. And coming up on May 17th at 9am some Funsters
will be at EMMC for the screening clinic.
We have some parades we need to vote on
at upcoming meetings so the more we
have to give input and cast their vote the
better. Our next meeting will be May 13th
at the Shrine Center in Bangor at 7:00
Be sure you are right – then ask your wife what she thinks about it.

Aroostook Klowns
Noble
Shawn
“Disco” Dube,
Reporter
By the time that you read this the Bangor
circus will have come and gone and we
should be right in the middle of the PI circus. What a wonderful time the circus is.
The Klowns certainly enjoy making hundreds and hundreds of balloons for all of
the kids. It is not hard to believe that one
simple thing such as a balloon will make
a smile appear.
The Aroostook Klown unit is starting to
get busy during this time of year. On February 24th Jeb, Moochie and Camo had
the fun at the Shine Kids Winter party. On
March 6th Rainbow, Jeb and Disco partied with the clients of the Opportunity
Training Center. Sprinkler was also there
but he was on snowmobile detail driving
around the clients.
The unit had their monthly meeting on
March 17th at the Aroostook Shrine Club.
Mochanic led the Nobles in the Clown
prayer. At the meeting the circus was discussed. We will be working with the Bangor Clown unit to put on one combined
skit. I wonder which Klown or Clown
will be the joke of the skit.
The unit also discussed doing a tree for
this year’s Festival of Trees. I am not sure
of what we will come up with but with a
theme of A Walk Through the Forest I am
sure that we will come up with something
creative.
One of our upcoming calendar items is
on June 4th. The unit will be putting on
a steak feed supper for the Trinity Masonic Lodge in Presque Isle. Parade season
will be here before you know it and the
Klowns will be out in full force. Until
next time remember - A clown sees life
simply, without complications.

The Northern Penobscot Shrine Club
held its last meeting on April 3 at the Sherman Snowmobile Club with 35 members
and ladies present. Not too shabby considering the snow birds haven’t flocked north
yet returning to their breeding grounds.
The meeting was opened promptly at
1900 hrs. by President Carl Segee who led
the group in the flag salute. Raleigh Hanscom led the group in prayer. A boiled dinner complete with apple pie and ice cream
for dessert was enjoyed by all. It was
overheard by one person stating it doesn’t

get any better than this. After the meal the
kitchen crew was thanked for a job well
done by everyone. No information on
sick nobles was received which is a good
thing. We don’t want any of our brethren
to be down on their luck. Dignitaries attending; Tony Bowers, P.P., Asst. Chief
Greeter Emeritus Derwood Shedd, Circus co-chairs Jerry Anthony and Raleigh
Hanscom. NO fez fines were assessed.
The raffle was won by our president Carl
Segee. No the drawing was not rigged. He
won the bounty fair and square and in the
spirit of Shrine promptly returned the proceeds to the club. We appreciate all that
anyone does for the club. The secretary’s
report had to be deferred. He was out on
an educational leave. Treasurer’s report
was read and accepted. A new committee
was formed for Nominating Officers for
the upcoming year. Jerry Anthony , Tony
Anthony, Robert Libby, Paul Thornton,
Raleigh Hanscom. Knowing the individuals involved it was stepping up to the plate
and volunteering. They all have the best
interest of the club in mind.
Under Old Business and no it wasn’t
about all the members that have been
around for more than 30 years. We are losing our December meeting spot at the Elks
Club in Millinocket. Grass Roots Catering
has volunteered to offer a meeting spot for
us. Her facilities (hall) are a little small for
the December meeting however she can
obtain space in the town office building
and can cater the event. She has always
done a good job for us in the past. Unless
anybody has any objections we should
give it a try.
Soda can pull tabs are still being collected for the Shriners hospitals. Bring your
donations to the regular-scheduled meetings.
Angel Flight is offering free rides for patients being treated at our hospitals in Boston and Springfield. Pilots have to clock a
certain number of air hours each year to
maintain their certification. Instead of just
flying around in circles burning up fuel,
They try to help by offering free air transportation to clients utilizing our services.
The spirit of giving and helping our fellow
man. That is what the Shrine is all about.
Our program was Sherman’s Representative Rick Long. He gave an overview of
the current state of affairs down in Au-
gusta. His straight talk no holds barred
approach was reassuring. Our next meeting will be held May 1st at the Sno Rovers Club in East Millinocket. This night is
Ladies Night and a program will be presented by the Daughters of Nile.
Hope to see everyone there. Maybe I’ll
pick up some bird seed to spread out to
help entice the snow birds to come north
a little early this year. Keep an ear out
for information of sick Nobles and lend a
hand when you can.
As always, let’s keep doing it for the kids.

Past Potenate and Recorder Larry Hersom for supervising the Red Sneaker and

Excitement is in the air as Anah’s 50th
Anniversary Circus makes its final appearance at the Bangor Auditorium under
the leadership of Charlie Grindle and his
Circus Committee. We look forward to
holding the performances in a beautiful
new facility next year.
Units and Shrine Clubs - you have a wonderful opportunity to increase your own
treasury by selling ads in the Anahgram.
You will receive 20% of each new ad you
sell. This really mounts up when selling
multiple ads for the Anahgram.
Speaking of selling – another unit and
shrine club moneymaker is the raffle ticket
sales for Potentate Lee’s incredible 2013
fundraiser. Units and clubs can earn 25
cents per each ticket sold. In the past units
and clubs have earned as much as $2000
with previous raffle programs, and with
the assortment of amazing prizes offered
this year, I am sure many more tickets can
be sold than ever before. See the ad for
more specifics.
I hope you all will take notice of the
beautiful wax shine on the Temple floors.
Our building maintenance supervisor, Bill
Taylor, really outdid himself. You can see
your face in those floors! He asks units
and clubs not to use tape on the floors or
walls to secure posters, electrical cords,
etc.
Speaking of cleaning . . . unit storage
rooms and Temple closets are bulging!!!
We have been thinking about bringing a
dumpster into the parking lot and organizing a “temple & unit cleanout day” sometime early this summer. Watch for the
dates to be posted in the Anahgram when
we can all get together and weed out our
storage areas.
A gold ring was found in the parking lot.
It appears to be a man’s wedding band,
and is being held in the Recorder’s office.
Soon after the boss’ wife discovers he has a beautiful secretary, he usually becomes shorthanded.
