As I write this article
I had hoped that winter
was behind us
and the warmer
spring weather was
finally here, alas we
just had a light dusting
of snow
overnight. In these
uncertain times, I
wonder what 2009
has in store for Mocha; I can only guess what
was going through the minds of Past
Potentates that also had to deal with recessions
over the years. Where they concerned
over the drop in membership, or did financial
woes take up much of the time? I feel certain
that the same things our Past Potentates had
to face then are the same things that give us
worry today. Our history has taught us that
when there are downturns in the economy;
people tend to move away from unproductive
pursuits and swing back to core values and
concentrate on the things that really matter.
We all know that there are no greater issues
than our families and the great accomplishments
we make as Shriners working for the
World's Greatest Philanthropy- our Shrine
Hospitals for Children. And nothing matters
more than healing our children!
I have forgotten what it is like to have an
almost fulltime job again. I am in the office
several days a week and the business of running
this Centre has kept me hopping. So far
in the first part of this year the Divan has
been busy with Club and Unit Installations
and official visits, congratulations to the new
Club and Unit officers, a busy year is ahead
of us and together we can do anything we set
our minds to. We had our first Stated Meeting
in March which went smoothly.
On March 15, 2009 Lady Barb and I, along
with many of the Nobility attended the
Daughters of the Nile installation of Queen
Frances Hustler and her officers of Omar
Temple No. 111. I would like to take this
opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you for
the reception and hospitality shown to Lady
Barb and myself. On behalf of Mocha
Shriners, I humbly thank each and every one
of you for the support given by the Daughters
of the Nile with the financial and material
donations that add to the care that can only be
found at a Shriners Hospital for Children. On
this note, I congratulate the accomplishment
of the Daughters of the Nile as they will
receive a third plaque (3 Million Dollars
donated) at a ceremony hosted by the
Canadian Shrine Hospital located in
Montreal. Nobles, if you and your Lady are
Potentate’s Report
available, why not attend the open events of
The Daughters of The Nile's Supreme
Session June 7-11, 2009 in London, Ontario,
where Omar Temple's own Vesta Marshall
will be crowned the Supreme Queen of the
Daughters of the Nile.
On April 08, 2009 at the Stated Meeting we
had an update presentation on the M-SPOTS
by Debbie Comuzzi and Penny Harman of
the Children's Health Foundation and
Patricia Potter Project Manager of the M-
SPOTS Clinic. This meeting was an
opportunity for Debbie, Penny and Patricia to
give a very uplifting progress report and
answer any questions that the Nobility may
have had on the status of the Telemedicine
project. We learned that Mocha has donated
$619,885.16, towards the $1 Million dollar
commitment we made. You all should be
pleased with the great turn out of the
Nobility; I know that I am very happy and
proud of the support shown at the stated
meeting.
The summer months promise to continue our
busy schedule. The next major event will be
our Spring Ceremonial June 12 & 13, 2009 in
Leamington Ontario, to be held at the Sherk
Centre at the Leamington Kinsmen
Recreation Complex. I would like to thank
the Nobility of the Sun Parlour Shrine Club
for taking on the organizing and operating of
the Spring Ceremonial, they promise this will
be an activity filled weekend. More information
on tickets and schedule is printed in this
issue of the Mocha News. On June 20, 2009
we have the Seniors Lunch at Mocha Shrine
Centre in the upper Banquet hall. All of our
senior Nobility is welcome to attend and to
be waited on by the members of the Divan.
Lady Barb and I will be hosting an
information session at the Shrine Centre on
June 23, 2009 at 7:00pm for the Potentates
trip, this year we will be travelling to the Riu
Palace Resort, Punta Cana, Dominican
Republic November 14 - November 21,
2009. However, before we take off on the
Potentates Trip, Mocha Shriners will be
attending the Fall Ceremonial of the Great
Lakes Shrine Association in Merrillville
Indiana, September 17-20 2009.
At the Stated meeting on March 11, 2009
Noble Barry Snider, Chief Rabban, made a
motion that the initiation fee for 2010 will
rise from the current $300.00 to $375.00. The
increase in fees will help to off set the
increased cost of our materials and
Ceremonials. The written motion is included
in this issue and will be voted on at the next
Stated Meeting October 14, 2009. In this new
atmosphere of financial constraints, the

Potentate’s Report
cont’d
combined Board of Directors (Iowa and Colorado
Corporations) will recommend at the Imperial
Council Session in San Antonio that we should close
up to Seven (7) Shrine Hospitals for Children. The
future of the Shriners Hospital for Children will be in
the hands of the voting delegates, who will have to
vote in a 2/3rds majority to pass the motion. As our
current operating budget for the Hospitals is nearing
the One (1) Billion dollar mark for 2010, we will
need to restructure our current level of service,
because if we do not, in Ten (10) years we possibly
may not have any Hospitals! The endowment fund
went from eight (8) Billion dollars to five (5) Billion
dollars almost over night, at no fault of the Hospital
Board of Directors, but due to market failures. The
Imperial Divan has put out directives that all Shrine
Centres will examine their financial situations and
find ways to cut spending. On this note, Mocha's
Board of Directors will be studying the expenses
incurred by Mocha Shriners, and will make the
necessary recommendations at a stated meeting in
the near future..
We are losing many members to the black camel.
Due to economic pressures, many of our Nobles are
finding themselves in the position of being unable to
meet their Shrine financial obligation, i.e. DUES and
find themselves in the arrears. Imperial bylaws state
that anyone two years behind in dues will either be
suspended or the Temple must remit their dues. This
doesn't mean we don't understand our Nobles'
position, they are always welcome to go through the
Restoration process in the future and become active
again when their situation improves, or their Shrine
Club or Unit might like to step in to help save a
valued member. Membership is the responsibility of
all of us. Membership growth is the future of Mocha
Shriners which allows us to continue to do what we
do best as Shriners, helping Kids who are in our care.
It's time to visit our Blue Lodges and talk up the
Shrine. Nobles, I am asking for your help this year.
One way to let your Lodge know about Shrinedom
and Mocha is to pick up a handful of application and
put them out for your Lodge Brothers to read.
Lady Barb and I have a full calendar for 2009. We
want to be involved in as many activities as possible
and to meet as many of the Nobles and their ladies of
Mocha as is humanly possible. Unfortunately we will
not be able to be every where as much as we like, so
why not come to the Mocha Shrine Centre to see us
if we are not able to come to you? We must never
forget our main mission as to why we all became
Shriners, and that is the work we do for our children
in our Shrine Hospitals. I look forward to the day that
no child is in need of our help, but until that day
comes we must do all we can for them. Let me again
thank you for allowing me to be your Potentate. By
working together we can always keep Mocha a
healthy temple. Let Mocha Shine in 2009
Yours in the Faith,
Kevin M. Wilson, Potentate

COOK
editor
Nobles please let me first take the opportunity to thank all
those who responded to my request in last issue for
information on the clock, I had received. Your response was
great and showed me that some people are reading the
Mocha News.
In short those clocks were made in Paris On, by a
company called Oval Frameworks, which was owned by
Noble Earl Hotchins. The company still exists under a new
owner. These clocks were the idea of Past Potentate Owen
Coles, in around 2002-03. There were about 1,000 of them
made and they were distributed to Temples, Clubs, and Units,
and could have any name on then Rameses, Mocha, etc.
This time I am featuring a door handle that I would like the
history of.
From the first day I became editor I have turned to some
Past Pote's for advice, one of the ones I relied on most
frequently was Dave Sloman, and I was about to call him
when the email came to tell of his passing, and my
admiration for him will continue well into the future, and he
will be surely missed.
Also I noticed that I had not received a
article from Our Writer in Residence, Noble
Art Racey, I was about to call him when I
received an email of his passing, and he too
will be missed by me, Art submitted great
and likeable stories, for the News and we
should all be grateful to him.
Thanks and happy reading Dennis
Noble this Shrine Door handle was purchased at
a flea market, and is now in possession of Noble
John Danbrook of Tillsonburg Shrine Club, and I
once again would appreciate any information
from whence it came.

ERIE SHRINE HOSPITAL BUS TRIP
Sunday, May 31, 2009
Once again the trip to Erie
for the Shriners Hospital
Open Day has sold out.
Thank you for your
support Nobles & Ladies.
Over the past few years we
have seen the prices
increase dramatically for
the bus to almost double what we paid at the
outset in 2003. The Divan generously picked up
the shortfall on the bus last year as part of their
Public Relations budget.
You can imagine my surprise when I was
approached by an individual Shriner who said
“I’ll look after that Dave”. This reflects all the
tenets of Freemasonry in its finest form. I thank
him for his generosity, as do; I’m sure, all of the
other riders. But my lady Ann will not be
deterred. She wishes to continue in my stead this
year to see the trip through.
A gentle reminder.
The bus loads and leaves
Mocha Shrine Center at 6.00
a.m.
Please take note
that Ann Sloman
wishes to carry
on with this
Erie Bus Trip.
There will be “eye openers” and
refreshments served on the bus. Later a couple
of games of “bingo” will also be played,
We pick up those in Woodstock at the Comfort
Inn, Highway # 401 and Highway # 59 at the
North West corner lower parking lot.
There will be a further pickup on Lincoln
Alexander Parkway (403) Hamilton.
Upon arrival, there will be a car show, lunch; at
your own expense, a Jewellery and clothing sale,
and plenty of other activities to view, then after
the tour we will be going to Zem Zem Shrine
Center for dinner, also at your own expense. We
shall be leaving for Canada around 5:00 p.m.
– 5:45 p.m.

Recorder’s
Corner
by Jeff Brown
The biggest issue we face today is the
health of our Shriners Hospital system
across North America. We have been
hearing distressing news recently about
the state of our endowment fund and
the catastrophic measures we are being
asked to consider to “stop the bleeding” of our finances. The
endowment fund went from approximately $8 billion to under
$5 billion in a mere matter of months with the distressing economic
downturn in the USA.
Our hospital budget was $821 million this year and with the
disaster at Galveston and other factors we are now losing about
$1.2 million per day to keep our hospital system going. It
doesn't take a math wizard to figure out that we cannot sustain
this level of spending very long without losing our hospital
system. After spending over $3 million on refurbishing Galveston
after hurricane IKE, the hospital was no closer to opening
because of the extensive mould infiltration. The Joint Boards had
to make a very hard decision to suspend operations at Galveston
in order to contain the financial losses to that date.
The estimates now require our Joint Boards to find $200 million
dollars this year to stem the flow of red ink. They have had to
identify six hospitals for possible closure and numerous other
measures that we, as Shriners, never thought we would ever
have to consider. Third Party Pay is one option but one that won't
kick in dramatic savings for several years. General donations do
not support current year's spending let alone enriching the
endowment fund so we have a lot to accomplish in a very short
time. The Joint Boards warned us several years ago that
financing the endowment fund needed to be a priority and they
estimated it needed to grow to $12 billion before we could afford
to consider our hospital system in good shape financially. We
never got close to that number.
Your elected Representatives to the Colorado Corporation at the
Imperial Session in July have some very tough decisions to make.
They are your reps so if you want their opinions or you want
them to know yours, please seek them out and talk to them.
Mocha is also facing reduced capitalization in its investments.
Costs are increasing and membership is still declining, albeit at a
slower rate than before. Nobles put on your thinking caps and
consider what you can do for your Temple. New candidates,
how about considering donations to Mocha as well as our
Canadian Hospital, Transportation Funds and MSPOTS? We're in
this together Nobles, we all need to work together to make our
future bright and safe.
On a very sad note, I mention the recent passing of Illustrious Sir
David Sloman, Past Potentate of Mocha (2006) and one our
finest. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten. His
contributions to Mocha are numerous and in many cases unheralded.
Many do not know how much he did for us behind, as
well as in front of the scenes. His fine lady Ann has insisted on
continuing the Erie Hospital Bus trip again this year as
was David's custom. May God bless you
David and may He use your many
talents for his purpose there.
Sympathy is extended to Lady
Ann and their family on behalf of
all Mocha members.

Mocha
Fundraising
Nobles we all know that being a Shriner
consists of two parts - having fun and
helping children. While these areas are in
many ways interchangeable, we must
realize that when we do our many
fundraising activities, the money we raise
and the public who support us should
know where that money goes.
As Shriners we have but ONE charity - Shriners Hospitals for
Children - and that always should be our focus. Yes as Mocha
Shriners, we have made a one million dollar commitment to
London Health Sciences for the MSPOTS. However, this was
made with the intention that we would hook up with our Canadian
unit in Montreal and perhaps other Shrine Hospitals as well.
Smaller telemedicine setups in other communities (Waterloo,
Chatham, and Windsor) allow children and their families we help
to stay closer to home and reduce travel time and costs. Mocha
Shriners are proud of that commitment but we have continued to
fully support our Canadian unit with 2008 donations of over
$358,000.00 an increase of nearly 80% from 2007 - to each and
every one of our dedicated Shriners - well done.
In our economic slowdown, fundraising is becoming increasingly
difficult and we must redouble our efforts to support our benevolent
efforts. As I hope all are aware no club or unit may conduct a
fundraising project without the consent of the Potentate of Mocha
Shriners, it must also be designated as either charitable or fraternal.
Charitable means that a full financial statement and funds MUST
be sent to Imperial headquarters in Tampa within 60 days of the
completion of the project. An important thing to remember; if you
use our Shrine hospital logo in printed advertisements, then by
default it becomes a charitable project.
The Mocha Board urges clubs and units to designate most projects
as fraternal fundraising. That does not mean you can keep all
monies raised for club activities and Mocha highly urges that most
of that money be contributed to our hospitals or transportation
fund.
Yes, we have been asking that if you can to please send money to
Mocha to help in our operation. We ask this only so that our
Temple can better serve you its members and hopefully generate
new members in the future who can help us in our great
philanthropy. Many clubs also help support the operation of a
Ceremonial in their community which is certainly encouraged as it
gets us publicity in our own towns and has as its goal, the
attraction of new membership and getting them involved in our
fundraising.
One thing many Shriners may not realize is that ALL money raised
is in fact Mocha money NOT a clubs or units. Now please do not
think that the Mocha Divan would swoop down and try to take
your money - that will not happen - our clubs and units do
outstanding jobs in both fundraising and administrating the money
we make. Remember Mocha is not the building, the Potentate or
the Divan - Mocha is each and every one of you, who as a member
has an equal say in the matters of your Temple.
Our fundraising efforts are different from our American brethren in
that we must conform to the regulations of our city, provincial and
federal governments. Some funds raised must be used in the
community or province in order to meet licence requirements. In
other instances, most of the funds should be directed towards our
Shriners Hospitals - for that is what we do. I know each club
receives letters or knows of individuals or groups who are in
serious need of help and it tugs at the heart. However, we have our
cause and we must remember it. When a person contributes to the
Canadian Cancer Society, they expect that the money go to that
cause - when people support the Shrine they should likewise know
that they are supporting Shriners Hospitals and the children who
need our help.
Many of you might say that since we raise money in our
communities we should give back - I agree support of our
community should be done in some way, but not the major focus.
When you do choose to make a local donation please send a letter
to the Recorders office to get your Potentate's approval so we can
know where your money is being directed.
Nobles, fundraising is not easy and will only get more difficult.
When you were made a Shriner, you were told that we support the
Worlds Greatest Philanthropy and we must continue down that
path. Mocha through its clubs, units and individuals is in the top
10% of Shrine Temples in hospital contributions. We thank you for
your continued commitment and support of Shriners Hospitals for
Children.

THANX...
Mocha's most recent fund-raiser at the John Labatt
Centre was a resounding success. Thanks go out to the
Trumpet and Oriental Bands for their participation along
with the 34 volunteers who sold 15,000 - 50/50 tickets.
All funds raised have been forwarded to the Children's
Health Foundation and M.S.P.O.T.S.
We look forward to a repeat opportunity in the fall of
'09.

WHAT IS A “FREE” MASON?
Throughout history there have been many explanations
as to how the term, “ Free”, came to be applied to
Masonry.
Operative Masons of the past were frequently “Free” of
local taxes, and in some cases were “Free” of local
laws. Their actions were not restricted as were those of
others. They were “Free” to travel, from country to
country in pursuit of work for their trade. Years back
Masons who labored on King Solomon’s temple, enjoyed
special privileges, and were “Free” from laws which
others had to obey.
But what does the term “Free” mean to the modern
Mason?
TO SOME IT MEANS...
“Free” from attending Lodge.
“Free” from visiting the sick and those stuck
in Nursing Homes.
“Free” from obligations.
“Free” from giving aid to Officers in the Lodge.
“Free” from taking part in any Ritual work.
“Free” from any responsibility.
“Free” from criticism.
Let’s strive to be one of the Masons who don’t wait for
“Free” time to attend Lodge, and who doesn’t believe
that “Free” Masonry is actually “Free”.
We are of course ‘Free” to do as we wish about these
things, but no one can be a Freemason in the fullest
sense, unless he buys into the theory, that we must
support Freemasonry with all of our energy, and the full
use of the faculties with which we have been blessed.

Getting to Know the Divan’s
Newest Appointment
The Second Ceremonial Master, Mocha Shrine Centre - 2009
George, James (Jim) Thomsen was born on December 20, 1950, in the City of
London to proud parents James and Anna Thomsen.
He met the love of his life Debbie in 1998 and between the two of them are
blessed with three children - his daughter, Melanie living in Clifford and
Deb's twins Kyle and Samantha both living in London. They have three
handsome grand children - Zak aged six and the twin boys Hunter and
Chas aged one.
In 1990, Jim started working at Ontario Hydro and has moved about the
province including stays in London, St. Thomas and Windsor. He is currently
employed with The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and holds the
position as the Supervising Electrical Supervisor for the Kitchener geographic
(photo courtesy Randy Dunlop )
area.
Jim was initiated into Kilwinning Lodge No. 64 in 1987 and was installed as their Master in 1993. In 1994, he was appointed President
of the London Past Masters, Masters and Wardens Association. Jim is a member of the London Lodge of Perfection, London Sovereign
Chapter of Rose Croix and received his 32 degree at the Moore Sovereign Consistory in 1995.
Jim joined Mocha Shriners in 1995 at the Woodstock Ceremonial. He joined the Mocha Shrine Club in the same year and the Directors
Staff in 2005 - and enjoys spending time in both Units.
Jim plans on retiring in a couple of years, which will allow him more time to improve his golf game, travel and take a few more trips
to 'Vegas!
What do Shriners do in their
spare time?
Well if they are anything like Noble Dave Harding, from the Town of
Salford, Ontario, they tend to lodge meetings, help with community
projects or take up an interesting hobby, as can be witnessed here.
I have had the pleasure of visiting Noble Dave in his home and
what a fascinating collection of Model Railroad equipment he has.
Give him a call when you're in the area at 519 851-2311 and he be
glad to give you the full meal deal. “the Editor”
In 1953, I bought my first Lionel train, a 2-4-2, complete with cars,
track, and power pack, for the sum of $19.95, at the local Crest
Hardware Store. I proudly still have this original set, in my possession
today. With the set came a marvelous Wish Book, the 1953 Lionel
Catalogue. On cold winter evenings I would crawl under the blankets,
armed with a flashlight, and dream of all those
accessories, a dream that finally came to fruition last year, and took
only a span of 30 years, however there was a small interruption of 20
years pursuing the HO Scale hobby, which has since dwindled off.
It was always my preference to collect the working accessories,
and the #6464 Box car, which always intrigued there founder
“Joshua Lionel Cohen”.
There was a total of 27 working accessories in that 1953 catalogue,
come visit and see if you can count them.
Collecting and playing with Lionel is more than a toy,
it's a tradition.
Lionelville; a Major part of Lionel Lines, came
being in 1923, in Mid Central Ontario, in what
happened to be my home town, Minden, some 50
miles North of Lindsay, with a population of
approx. 750.

Nobles, please see that we look after new members...
I became a Shriner at the 2006 Spring Ceremonial. I am a member of the Oriental Band and proudly wear
the fez that was once worn by my father.
I went to my first stated meeting last night. Why was this my first one - after all I have been a Shriner for
almost 3 years? Mainly because one of my Noble friends asked to go along with them - and do you know
what? I was glad I did. Not only did I learn more about the amazing MSPOTS initiative, I learned about my
Shrine and my temple and the serious financial situations affecting our fraternity. I say 'my' because I think
it is important that each of us remember that this is 'our' Shrine and 'our' temple and we each need to
consider what we, and more importantly the children, would be do without them.
Many signficant decisions need to be made about the ongoing viability of my Shrine hospitals - what will my
hospitals look like in 5, 10 or 25 years from now? The decisions that need to be made in San Antonio later this
year will reverberate for many years.
I also was reminded last night about the importance to me of my temple and that I need to do more to
support it's existence.
It is not an easy world out there these days - my Shrine is not alone in trying to face the many issues that affect
it.
I have decided that I need to show my support for my Shrine by rededicating my committment to it.
I will............................
• Attend more stated meetings. Not only will I enjoy an evening of camaderie, I will show my
support to my Divan and be more aware of what is happening in my Shrine. (I'm already thinking
of how I can support my Shrine on June 6th - Shiners International Awareness Day!.) I will ask a
Noble to join me in attending the next stated meeting!
• Recruit a new Noble - not only once but every year. I enjoy being a Shriner and knowing that what
I do can help many children. I know I can pass on my enthusiasm to a fellow brother!
• Give ideas. If I have a good idea that will help support my Shrine, I will let a member of my Divan
know. We are all in this together!.
• Support fund raising initiatives. I'm going to get an application for the Petro-Canada card that
will donate just over a penny a litre to my Shrine - I'll get some to my family members as well.
I had fun selling some onions last year - I'll do what I can to sell a few more bags this year.
I'm hoping that each of you will each confirm your committment to your Shrine.
If we each did this, just imagine! Noble Shayne H. Eldridge

Here’s What’s Happening in the Units!
Mocha Road Runners
This is a downtime for parades and for most Roadrunner
members, but there is one noble who never seems to relax.
Leon Roth, who has been a member of the Shrine for 19 years,
has developed into a very knowledgeable, creative fabricator
when it comes to constructing the club’s small cars. Leon is
pictured with his newest creation, “The General Lee”, which
has been recently built, but still needs to undergo some
finishing touches before the final painting takes place. Since
the Roadrunners inception in 1998 Leon has been responsible
for creating 12 cars for the Roadrunners. Along with Leon’s
expertise in car construction he helps some with the
mechanical maintenance and he will assist any member who
requests his support.
The Mocha Roadrunner Club was started 11 years ago by Ron
McNicol and Leon Roth and has since grown to 25 members
and 18 small entertaining cars. This past year has been the
club’s busiest as they attended 19 area parades and they took
12 cars to the GLSA in Cincinnati last fall. This upcoming
year will exhibit two more newly created cars by Leon and the
club will be actively participating in several events including
the Leamington Ceremonial in June. Come and visit with us
and check out our cars and join in the Feztivities as we
continue to entertain ourselves and the public while raising
funds for the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Legion of Honour
(submitted by Noble J.N. Smith)
It is a great honour for me to inform you on the position that
Noble Dan Muill has taken on. Most Wise Sovereign, in the
Rose Croix for the London Valley. Congratulations Illustrious
Brother Dan Muill. We know that he will do his usual superb
job.
With much sorrow I say, we lost a very good man recently, Ill
Sir Dave Sloman. He was a man that was very diligent and
knowledgeable on many topics but mostly thing Masonic and
Shrine related. He will surely be missed. Past Commander
Stuart Wanless is doing well after his leg surgery.
This summer we plan on travelling to Frankenmuth, MI, to
visit with our friends from Saginaw. This is something we
have been doing for many years. Even though the Legion of
Honour group in Saginaw has disbanded we still enjoy the
visit. We will be staying at the Frankenmuth Motel from July
10th to the 11th. Anybody interested please contact the
Frankenmuth Motel for a room. Come and join us for so
friendship, food, jokes, shopping and any other mischief.
We will be travelling to Sarnia again this summer to visit our
members and friends in that 'far off western region'. At our last
meeting we had a show of hands and it was unanimous that we
would like to do the boat cruise and possibly end up at the
Casino. All are welcome but please contact Noble Don
Lasenby at 519-337-3685 if you are interested in attending
and inform the Adjutant at 519-474-7295.
The circus will be in town on 24th June. We will be selling the
programs again this year. If you can help please contact the
RSM, Noble Jim Pargeter at 519-471-5377. The Daughtersof-the-Nile
will be in town from 5th to the 12th of June. We
have been asked to help as greeter, doormen and general
helpers. If you are interested please contact RSM, Noble Jim
Pargeter.

Whispering Sands of the

Noble David Sloman
– Past Potentate
1938 - 2009
The Black Camel
appeared Friday,
April 3rd 2009
The London Mocha Temple Oriental Band has honoured the
allegiance to Noble David Sloman and now we mourn his
untimely passing. Nobles all over this vast continent will
most certainly miss one of our greatest Philanthropist, a Noble
of the London Mocha Shrine, a bright light in anyone’s eye
has been extinguished, but will carry on in spirit. An
individual having so many affiliations and a full life of
experiences are far in access to include in this memorial.
Many will remember David’s address to the Chapter Rose
Croix as Honoree speaker on March 28th. In defiance of his
own pain David introduced his family and delivered a most
eloquent speech on a most important subject concerning
discipline, mentorship and membership for the craft he so
dearly loved.
Our condolences are most sincerely given to his dear wife
Ann, his daughter Wendy and husband Jamie Kilgour, grand
children, Heather and Luke, son Karl and his wife Kristine
and grand children Taylor and Olivia; Brothers and sisters in
law, Peter and Virginia, John and Thelma and
Christopher Sloman living in David’s native homeland, Kent,

England.
Although many parades and other important Band functions
are in the wind, under the design and planning stage,
Saturday, April 4th, marked the occasion of a preliminary
social function held in Dufferin Hall. A social gathering of
some 95 bandsmen with their much better ladies, were first
intent on the remarks given by President Al Yates and Director
Dale Hern while the inattentive, in the picture to the left,
continued to appear intent on their own conversation.
The Bar was opened at 6 pm. and a scrumptious lasagna
dinner served at 7.00,
followed by the
entertainment by Ben
Shane and Bobby
‘K’, two musicians
concentrating on the
music belonging to
the 50’s and 60’s.
Door prizes and 50 /
50 draws were won
by the lucky few (as
usual). The proceeds
would have been
donated to our
favourite charity, but
nothing was made.
All in All, all had a
wonderful time until
midnight.

Chaplain’s Chat
Dear Nobles,
As I write this the blossoms are beginning to
appear on the trees and the early spring flowers
are blooming heralding the arrival of spring. I
expect most of the nobles especially those in the
snow-belt are glad to get out of hibernation.
They will be polishing up their mini cars, Jeepsters and dune
buggies, tuning up their instruments and getting their clown suits
and other uniforms ready for another parade season. All that the
nobles do as they prepare their vehicles, uniforms and instruments
is for the ultimate purpose of helping those who are often unable to
help themselves. Yes the nobles have fun doing what they do, and
yes sometimes onlookers may think they are a bit "wacko", but the
reality is they are a symbol and an example of the Great Architect's
expectation of each and every believer. So remember as you dust
off your gear and prepare for the new parade season that you are
harbingers of God's love. You are models to others as you witness
to your faith by helping others. You may be criticized by some for
your actions or because you belong to an organization that they do
not understand, but do not worry. The proof of your faith and good
works is in the smile on the face of a child that you have helped to
walk; or the smile on the face of a burn victim who has recovered
with a minimum of scarring. It is in the thanks of the hundreds of
people that you have helped in your own community through
education projects or the equipment that you have purchased for a
hospital, a clinic, or a fire department. It is what you have done
quietly, often without publicity-the way Allah would want to you to
act. Thanks for all that you do and may Allah, the compassionate,
the merciful, the almighty, richly bless you all.

Welcome back Nobles
Are you ready for The Big Show?
The 2009 Dromedary Awards are in search of the
very best in temple communications. For many
years, these special awards have been recognizing
exceptional communications throughout Shriners
International. This is not only a great opportunity for
temples to receive recognition for their hard work,
but also an opportunity to gain valuable insight on
how to develop the most effective communications
for your temple.
Once again, the Web site competition is
included as an official Dromedary Award category.
In today's world, Web sites are more than an essential
element of successful communication, they are
the main vehicle in which global information is
shared and exchanged. We strongly support the
development of temple Web sites, as well as printed
publications. Temples that produce a publication and
have developed a Web site are encouraged, but not
required, to enter both categories.
New for 2009: Dromedary Awards will be
granted to EIGHT temples: SIX in the
publication category and TWO in the Web site category.
Imperial Potentate Douglas Maxwell will present
the winning temples with the awards during the
135th Imperial Council Session in San Antonio.
Winning publications and Web sites will be displayed
in the Imperial Public Relations Office for the
duration of the Session. Winners will be notified in
advance.
Dromedary Awards
2009:
Call for Entries
Like in past years, each temple entry will be
reviewed and scored by a panel of non-partial,
Tampa-based judges with experience in the fields of
public relations, writing, marketing and communications.
The judges will review the submissions using
a special "Scorecard," which will later be returned to
the temple with valuable insight and input into
improving the communication. One award will be
handed out to the winners of each of the eight categories,
and 12 Honorable Mention certificates will
be awarded to the top three runners-up in each category.
For detailed entry guidelines and to download the
printable entry form, click here. Please read the
entry guidelines carefully, as some
guidelines have changed for 2009.
***Entries must be received by
Friday, May 8, 2009***
In 2008, Tunis Shriners, Gizeh Shriners, Oasis
Shriners and Kosair Shriners are just some of the
temples that received Dromedary Awards for their
publication and Web site work. We look forward to
seeing your temple on the list for 2009!
Good luck!
Sincerely,
Public Relations Department

Honour’s Ellen Rosen
After 41 years in the Nursing and Child Care Profession,
at the Children's Hospital of Southwestern Ontario, Ellen
Rosen has made the decision to retire.
Ellen has been instrumental, for a number of years, in
organizing the annual Christmas morning visit to the
Hospital by Nobles of the London Shrine Club, Mocha
Concert Band, Mocha Clowns, and of course the Man
himself, Santa Claus. Santa would hand out Christmas
gifts that had been arranged by Ellen. The children who
were not able to go home for this Festive Occasion greatly
enjoyed our annual visits.
We so appreciated Ellen's assistance over the years that
we presented her with a $ 100 Million Dollar Club
Certificate and a dozen yellow Roses. At the
presentation we had the pleasure of meeting the new
nurse Laurie Gould and look forward to working with her
for the next 41 years, and we sincerely hope to carry on
this annual tradition. Faithfully submitted Past Potentate
Norm Camp.

In Memoriam
As the warm weather of spring starts to bring
everybody outside, many activities start to unfold
and take place, and The Lambton Shrine Club is
certainly no exception to this rule.
The usual and ever popular sale of Vidalia Onions
is another activity very well known within the
Sarnia Lambton area, with the ever familiar
Shriners ensuring the sales and delivery are
always maintained.
Unfortunately, the presence of one Noble will
greatly be missed, Noble Jack Reid, sometimes
referred to as "Mr.Vidalia Onions" to many people.
John 'Jack' Reid, age 79, died July 29th 2008, at
C.E.E. Hospital Petrolia, Funeral Services were
held August 1st 2008 from the Chapel of the
D.J.Robb Funeral Home. Beloved husband of Joan
Reid, dear father of David and Susan Reid.
Noble Jack Reid was a member of Liberty Lodge
#419, Hiawatha Chapter #252, St. Simon of Cyrene
Preceptory #37, Lambton Shrine Club Motor Corps
and Mocha Temple.
Jack Reid was definitely a Shriner, in every sense
of the word. Whatever the Shrine event was, you
could be sure Jack would be there, not only as a
leader but also as a devoted worker.
Besides the many areas of involvements he had,
Jack still maintained and looked after The Lambton
Shrine Hall, and The Masonic Temple in Sarnia.
Noble Jack Reid is certainly missed, and will not
be forgotten, his work, his friendship, his devotion
towards Shrine activities, will always be respected
as his legacy in life.

Ontario known as Palmerston, is being blanketed again by the white stuff,
and the date is April 6th. However we are hopeful that Spring and Golf
season are around the corner.
Action here in Pal mocha land has been just great, the club attended
several Santa Claus Parades in our area, and b'gorry we even attended the
By jove she was a day to behold as the
Paddy's Day Parade, in Listowel, and were honored to have the Waterloo Waterloo Oriental Band paraded in the
Oriental Band in attendance.
annual Listowel Paddy Fest Parade.
At our March meeting our Club donated $ 500.00 to help a needy
family,who were using the funds to aid in the transportation of their son, in
various trips to Montreal Children's Hospital.
Our Jan., Feb., & Mar., meetings were chaired by our in-coming President,
Noble Don Kritzer, and Noble Clark Richardson, all this happening while
our Pres. Noble Jim Abbott, and Lady Bea are wintering in Arizona.
Noble Jack Cronsberry and myself, had the distinct pleasure of paying a
visit to Noble Gordon Rabb, and Lady Corry. Armed with Tim Horton's
coffee, and on a cold winter morning, we had a great visit with them.
Nobles we should all do more visiting to our older members, who can't
make the meetings like they used to. Even a phone call to say hello would
be a muchly appreciated and gratifying adventure.
Vidalia Onion season
will soon be on us, so
Nobles when they do
come in, get out and
sell, sell, sell,
remember they are
much too delicious to
sit in your garage.
Cambridge S.C.
Parade Unit
The parade unit of the Cambridge Shrine Club held a
meeting on January the 14th to discuss what directions to
take for the 2009-parade season. Chairman, Noble Ken
Simpson, opened the meeting. Noble Ken then turned the
meeting over to the parade coordinator, Lloyd Wiebe.
Head of maintenance, Noble Ivan Hall reported that he
and Noble Wiebe had stripped each of the Mini Vettes
down to the frame, and brought them back up to safety
standards. In early spring they would be starting work on
the Conestoga wagon, and will be looking for help from
those Nobles with woodworking skills.
Noble John Slack of Waterloo is shown
riding in the cab of Pal Mocha's Fire
Truck, looks like he's enjoying the ride.
(drivers that day were Nobles Clark,
and Brad Richardson.)
All aboard: Nobles Clark Richardson (left), and Ron
Bingham (right) are pictured with Nobles Jim Doig, Don
Kritzer, Derek Ward, and Murray Donaldson, other riders
not in picture were Nobles Laverne Long, Jack
Cronsberry, Jack Gates, Brad Richardson, John Blue,
and George.
Pictures & story submitted by Noble Laverne Long
Noble DougWhitfield made a presentation to the members
of a new shirt to be worn by the Mini Vette drivers.
The new shirts will be unveiled at the spring ceremonial
in Leamington on June 13th.
During the course of the meeting it was decided that the
unit participate in more parades. If any other clubs are
doing parades in their respective communities and
would like more Shrine participation, give Cambridge a
call. Noble Lloyd Wiebe, 519 623 1671. Or

We only ask that we have enough advance notice so that
we can clear it with the Mocha office for insurance
purposes.

ANNUAL REPORT
SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN - ERIE
January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008
The year 2008 began with the Shriners Hospitals for
Children – Erie, facing numerous challenges. The
absence of full-time pediatric orthopedic surgeons
and a workforce reduction of 39 full-time equivalent
employees in January saw the hospital focus on new
operational strategies and procedures. Quality
outpatient, inpatient and rehab medical services
continued to be provided to the thousands of children
served by the facility. In fact, 2008 saw a record
number of new patients accepted for medical care at
the Erie Shriners Hospital and other key volumes
increased as well.
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
In January, William F. Schrantz, M.D., a pediatric
orthopedic surgeon on staff at the Philadelphia
Shriners Hospitals for Children, began seeing
patients at the Erie Shriners Hospital three days a
week. In addition, Joao Tavares, M.D., who retired in
July 2005 as the hospital’s assistant chief of staff,
returned part-time to assist with patient care. Along
with Karl Frankovitch, M.D., emeritus chief of staff,
Kerry Armet, M.D., the hospital’s full-time
pediatrician, and numerous part-time physicians from
the region, the Erie Shriners Hospital continued to
provide specialized orthopedic care to its patients.
In fact, many of the key volume statistics for 2008
reflected increases from 2007. For example, during
2008, there were 11,401 patient visits to the hospital’s
Outpatient areas, up from 10,784 in 2007. The rehab
areas also maintained busy schedules, seeing more
that 4,800 patient visits in physical therapy and more
than 2,600 patient visits in occupational therapy (both
increases over 2007).
Some 600 surgeries were performed in 2008 and the
Radiology Department conducted more than 7,800
procedures (decreases from 2007).
New patient applications approved in 2008 set a hospital
record of 2,511. This broke the previous record
of 2,383 set in 2006 and surpassed the 2007 figure of
2,263 new applications.
PATIENT SATISFACTION
Patient satisfaction has always been of the utmost
importance at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Erie.
Like all Shriners Hospitals, Erie uses the Press Ganey
company to gather patient satisfaction scores.
Press Ganey is the premier patient satisfaction
survey company and is used by hospitals throughout
the United States.
Although the staff faced many challenges in 2008,
patient satisfaction scores remained high. The
overall year-end scores for the Erie Shriners Hospital
continued to be exceptional for both inpatient and
outpatient services.
On the inpatient side, scores were particularly high in
such areas as nursing care, room cleanliness, staff
courtesy, physician care, discharge process, patient
privacy issues and recommending the hospital to
others.
Outpatient services scored well in many areas such
as patient privacy, facility comfort, friendliness of the
staff, radiology services, technical skills of the staff
and likelihood of recommending the hospital to
others.
The Erie Shriners Hospital adopted the industry-wide
emphasis on patient safety and infection control,
initiating programs and practices to enhance staff
understanding of these key issues. These efforts
created not only a safe environment for children, but
resulted in a hospital acquired infection rate of less
than 1%.
SOUND FISCAL MANAGEMENT
For the fourth year in a row, donations to the Erie
Shriners Hospital topped the $1 million mark in 2008,
with the hospital receiving $1.1 million in funds. This
success is a direct result of the fund-raising efforts of
the 13 Shrine Centers affiliated with the Erie hospital,
as well as community fund-raising programs, grants,
estate planning and ongoing community awareness
activities.
In 2008, the Erie Shriners Hospital had a total budget
of $15,303,651. Hard work combined with sound
fiscal management allowed the hospital to successfully
meet the needs of our patients and families.
Medical excellence and fiscal stewardship continue
to be emphasized at Shriners Hospitals for Children -
Erie. As the staff seeks new ways to do things
better, they remain committed to seeing that the
patients receive the best medical care available in a
family-centered environment. Everyone continues to
work with the Shriners and community groups to
enhance contributions to the hospital and identify
children who may benefit from its services.
At the Shriners Hospitals for Children, Erie, the spirit
of commitment and team work has never been
stronger.

The Story of the
"Editorial
Without
Words"
The photo known as the "Editorial Without Words" is probably one of the
best recognized symbols of Shriners Hospitals, yet it was taken almost by
accident. Randy Dieter, the photographer, recalled that in 1970, he had
been on assignment covering Hadi Temple's annual outing for
handicapped children at the now-defunct Mesker Amusement Park in
Evansville, Indiana.
"I was taking shots of the midway and was using my telephone lens,"
Dieter said. "I saw a local Shriner walking by carrying a little girl in one
hand and her crutches in the other. My camera wouldn't fire. Then they
were too close for my lens. I ran past them, but the camera jammed. I had
to take my last shot as they walked by. It was the end of the roll. If I had
to think about it, I wouldn't have come up with something like that. Fate
guides you.
"It still seems unreal," said Bobbi Jo Wright, the little girl in the photo. "I
have many wonderful memories of the years I was a patient at the St.
Louis Shriners Hospital and remember all the fun activities. I was born
with cerebral palsy, which resulted in many orthopaedic problems that
made walking difficult. I had many surgeries at the St. Louis Hospital.
They greatly improved my ability to walk."
Bobbi Jo received her B.A. in English from Anderson University. She is
active in her church and teaches Sunday School. "I use a cane when I go
shopping," she said. "If I'm walking on grassy areas, I use crutches."
Today, the famous photo is an integral part of the Shriners Hospitals
logo, and has been reproduced on stained-glass windows, mosaics, tie
tacs, pins, and in statues. A larger-than-life replica of the "Editorial
Without Words" stands outside the International Shrine Headquarters
building in Tampa. Photographer Randy Dieter presently serves as
graphics editor for the Kentucky Post.
The Shriner who was unexpectedly immortalized carrying Bobby Joe was
Al Hortman. Formerly of Evansville and now living in Georgia. Above in
the original photo is Hortman's daughter, Laura, who was herself a
patient at the Shriners Hospital in St. Louis. After Laura began receiving
treatment at Shriners, Hortman jointed the Shrine.
