Potentate’s Message<br />
In late December 2009, no Noble<br />
wished to assume the activities of producing<br />
the monthly Kourier, my wife<br />
Lorrie had produced the Kourier for 2<br />
1/2 years prior to 2007 so I asked her to<br />
resume her efforts. Lorrie has now produced<br />
three Kouriers, January February<br />
& <strong>March</strong> and still no Noble stands<br />
to take the task from her. Don Peek<br />
produced the magazine for two<br />
years and could not continue<br />
due to other commitments.<br />
Now my friends we must find<br />
another to take up the torch.<br />
Lorrie has a job nowadays that<br />
is consuming much more of her<br />
time. Consequently, the <strong>March</strong><br />
issue will be the last in the present format.<br />
Continue to send Club and Unit<br />
articles Kourier e-mail address<br />
(kerakkourier@sbcglobal.net). Next<br />
month I will distribute a Potentate’s<br />
Newsletter. Fewer pages of news and<br />
events concentrating on <strong>Kerak</strong> Club and<br />
Unit activities without articles.<br />
This past month has been very busy.<br />
A Potentate’s visitation with Kit Carson<br />
<strong>Shrine</strong> club, a visit to Ben Ali over the<br />
Basco Days weekend with Officer Installations.<br />
On the 17 th we had a stated<br />
meeting celebrating St. Valentines Day<br />
then a trip to Las Vegas for the Zelzah<br />
Potentate’s ball.<br />
I would like to thank Bob<br />
Pohlman for his unstinting efforts with<br />
<strong>Shrine</strong> Clinics. He was a lone campaigner<br />
in the Shoppers Square mall at<br />
Virginia and Plumb<br />
on the 13 th . On the<br />
24 th he will be involved<br />
in the periodic<br />
visit by the Sac-<br />
ramento hospital team, which will be<br />
here at the Hawks clinic between<br />
9:00am and 2:00 pm.<br />
In April, 9/10/11 to be exact, Bob<br />
Hayner and I are planning a golf day<br />
with a visit to the Alabama hills for<br />
those who don’t play golf. The golf club<br />
has a busy week but we hope they will<br />
be able to extend that and come on<br />
down to Bishop. The Karavaners<br />
are in the area and they are<br />
working on a plan to be there in<br />
Bishop with us, staying over<br />
the weekend to enjoy the golf<br />
and the Alabama hills.<br />
Also in <strong>March</strong> we have the annual<br />
<strong>Kerak</strong> <strong>Shrine</strong> Circus.<br />
Andy Anderson is the <strong>2010</strong> Chairman<br />
and he will need all the help he can get.<br />
If you haven’t already volunteered then<br />
please call Andy who will put you to<br />
work. Circus dates are Friday <strong>March</strong><br />
26 th over the weekend to Sunday <strong>March</strong><br />
28 th . Six performances in all.<br />
Western <strong>Shrine</strong> <strong>2010</strong> is in Tempe<br />
Arizona this year hosted by El Zaribah<br />
<strong>Temple</strong>. Dates April 21 st through April<br />
25 th.<br />
In May, Fred Wilson and I are planning<br />
a trip to Elko with golf and a trip<br />
to a gold mine. No samples will be allowed!<br />
June 4/5/6 is Eurofest weekend at<br />
the Sands. On the 5 th , there will be a<br />
Ceremonial in the morning, Ladies<br />
lunch and the <strong>Kerak</strong> Potentate’s Ball in<br />
the evening.<br />
So - as you can see there are many<br />
activities planned and we hope you will<br />
all join us as we travel<br />

Lady Lorrie’s Letter<br />
It is with a great deal of gratitude that I thank<br />
the members of Kit Carson <strong>Shrine</strong> Club for the donation<br />
given to the Potentate at his official visit. He has<br />
decided to put your donation into the Emergency<br />
Transportation Fund which will help with the costs of<br />
transporting burned children to one of the <strong>Shrine</strong> Hospitals.<br />
Also, I am so pleased that the <strong>Temple</strong> Aides will<br />
be donating their tips to my project this year. Thank<br />
you all! Your generosity is really important this year.<br />
There are many worthy causes within the <strong>Shrine</strong><br />
system and I am pleased to be part of just one of those<br />
projects. When a child’s life is hanging on by a thread,<br />
stabilizing and transporting that child is most important<br />
and very costly.<br />
I will supply a full account of all donations to my<br />
project for publication in the Kourier each month.<br />
I would also like to thank the Kit Carson <strong>Shrine</strong><br />
Club for the beautiful necklace and earrings, handmade<br />
by Lynn Owens, which I received at the Potentates<br />
Official visit. For years I had looked forward to<br />
Lynn designing and making Swarovski Crystal bracelet<br />
as my gift to the Divan Ladies this year. Lynn’s work<br />
is exquisite and the gifts are more beautiful then I even<br />
expected. The gift that I received from KCSC is very special<br />
to me. Thank you for sharing your talent.<br />
Your Potentate and I have truly enjoyed the first<br />
two months traveling and representing <strong>Kerak</strong> <strong>Shrine</strong>.<br />
Seeing our Counterparts installed as Potentates and<br />
First Ladies, after having traveled with them these<br />
past four years, has been a heartwarming experience.<br />
Having met one another for the first time at the Oriental<br />
Guide school we are all so proud that we have such<br />
a close group of friends, all the way down to Mexico<br />
City.<br />
Thank you to my many friends; your many telephone<br />
calls of encouragement and support are truly appreciated.<br />
Love to all ~ Lorrie<br />
We need a new <strong>Shrine</strong>r<br />
to put the Kourier together. Please<br />

As the wayward sands of the desert randomly<br />
alter their course through the millennia so do the Arabians<br />
of the mighty temple <strong>Kerak</strong> as they ply their<br />
camel caravan through the sands of life itself.<br />
(Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?)<br />
As we Arabians dust ourselves off after coursing<br />
those desert dunes, we need to be ever vigilant for<br />
new members we can hornswaggle into becoming our<br />
future band members. In short, we need new members<br />
and it will be up to us to develop those future<br />
miscreants into becoming part of our membership.<br />
Recent new members who so wisely chose to sign on<br />
as apprentice camel jockeys are David Thiel, who so<br />
wisely saw the light and possibly Bruno, whom Ron<br />
Weaver drug in at our last meeting. It helps that our<br />
new sultan has chosen to feed any who show up to<br />
practice with the promise of pizza and other foodstuffs.<br />
It helps that we have had two great practices<br />
of late and are actually sounding like a real band,<br />
even if it is an Arabian band at that. Arabians really<br />
can carry a jive tune after all.<br />
We sadly remember Harvey Gordon, one of<br />
our premier horn players, at his passing this last<br />
month. He will be greatly missed not only for his musical<br />
ability but also for his camaraderie which we<br />

will no longer enjoy until we meet beyond the sands<br />
of time. He will truly be missed.<br />
All of our motley crew of Arabians owes a big<br />
debt of gratitude to Lady Liz Richard for so elegantly<br />
organizing the repast at the temple following Harvey’s<br />
funeral. Liz tirelessly saw to it that the throng<br />
in attendance did not go unfed. Her efforts were instrumental<br />
in seeing to it that the mourners were<br />
shown a tremendous Arabian amount of hospitality<br />
and brotherhood as they remembered our fallen<br />
brother.<br />
As to our upcoming activities, we Arabians<br />
will be performing at the Jiggs’ dinner in <strong>March</strong>. I<br />
don’t know how corned beef and cabbage will digest<br />
after listening to our Arabian melodies, but then that’s<br />
not our concern as much as it is to see to it that the<br />
throng is somewhat entertained.<br />
The <strong>Shrine</strong> Circus is upon us and will be performed<br />
the end of <strong>March</strong>. We will need all the personnel<br />
we can muster for support for our efforts at<br />
making and selling cotton candy at all performances<br />
of the <strong>Shrine</strong> Circus. Mark your calendars and prepare<br />
your camel herd and harem for your absence<br />
during the days and nights of all the performances of<br />
the <strong>Shrine</strong> Circus as you will be helping the Arabian<br />
band members make and hustle cotton candy.<br />
May your camel thrive and your harem grow<br />
as you ply the shifting, burning sands of the desert of<br />
the mighty <strong>Kerak</strong> until we meet again.<br />
Shalom, from the wielder of the crooked stylus.<br />

KERAK GOLF CLUB<br />
We were back at the Lakeridge Golf<br />
Course 19 th Hole for our monthly meeting on<br />
Thursday, February 11 th . John Reed, after<br />
all had ordered lunch, opened the meeting<br />
with a presentation of a new point system for<br />
the Golfer of the Year award.<br />
After some discussion, it was agreed by all<br />
that we would adopt the system outlined in<br />
the last Kourier whereby points would be assigned<br />
each tournament to the top four winners<br />
and at the end of the season, the top four<br />
plus all other members will compete at the<br />
Ridge Golf Course (Auburn) to determine a<br />
Golfer of the Year. Tom Buntin’s idea to also<br />
incorporate points for attendance at all<br />
events was considered not fair to those who<br />
couldn’t attend because of work or obligations.<br />
If you have any objections or suggestions<br />
to the plan, contact John or come to the<br />
next meeting.<br />
John also stated that the handicap system<br />
would be the same as last year. The lower of<br />
the GHIN and club handicap number will be<br />
used. In order to ensure the scores are correctly<br />
recorded, it was suggested that your<br />
playing partner or some other player in your<br />
group record your score. Scores should also<br />
be announced to all after finishing a hole. We<br />
didn’t have time to discuss the rules, but<br />
John will be putting them out by the next<br />
meeting. And finally, if you haven’t paid your<br />
dues of $25, please pay John Reed.<br />

Brother Nobles,<br />
In January we have a terrific turn out at the Agave.<br />
For the Nobles who were in attendance, THANK<br />
YOU!!! I'm sure each of you enjoyed the<br />
"Installation" performed by our Jr. Past Director Jim<br />
Wipf as much as John Little and I did. With the permission<br />
of the "Crew", I along with a few other Nobles<br />
I wrangle up will be putting in shelves and Noble<br />
Art Cline is donating a filing cabinet to keep<br />
some of our paperwork in; as a reference for our<br />
future Directors.<br />
The future is quickly approaching which means that<br />
the time has come for our annual fundraiser, The<br />
<strong>Shrine</strong> Circus, at the request of our Chief Rabban,<br />
Andy Anderson, the "Crew" will continue to take tickets<br />
at the door this year. Noble Bobby Hall has<br />
kindly taken the lead on the scheduling of members<br />
to work the doors. So if you haven't heard from him<br />
yet I'm sure you will soon. Oh, and for those of you<br />
that will be working at the Circus we will be having<br />
our annual breakfast Saturday <strong>March</strong> 27th, <strong>2010</strong> at<br />
Carrows at 8 am.<br />
If your lucky you might overhear two guys chatting<br />
at the counter.<br />
One says "Did you know that Lions have sex 10 to<br />
15 times a night?"<br />
"Damn" says his friend. "I just joined the <strong>Shrine</strong>."<br />
The next "Crew" Dinner Meeting is<br />
scheduled for <strong>March</strong> 25th, <strong>2010</strong><br />
location TBA. See you at the watering<br />
hole at 5:30 PM and ordering of<br />
the grub at 6:30 PM.<br />
For the "Crew"<br />

The Joeys are preparing themselves<br />
for the Circus to take<br />
place on 26-27-28 this month. They will be<br />
practicing making balloon animals and getting<br />
their clown outfits in order.<br />
Our Chief Clown, Darrell "Dario" Norman, has<br />
been busy in recent weeks assembling a trailer<br />
so we can transport our clown car "Sweet Pea"<br />
to the parades.<br />
He has also visited St. Mary's and Renown hospitals<br />
to get permission to make periodic visits<br />
to patients. St. Mary's has given the Yoonit<br />
permission to visit, but he is still going through<br />
some red tape with Renown.<br />
Anyone who doesn't belong to a Unit or Club<br />
and would like to consider joining the Klown<br />
Yoonit, drop in at one of our meetings. We<br />
meet at Denny's Restaurant (on the corner of<br />
McCarran<br />
and Nugget<br />
in Sparks)<br />
the third<br />
Monday each<br />
month. Dinner<br />
at 6:30,<br />
meeting<br />

The Alabama Hills are a popular location for television and movie productions<br />
(especially Westerns) set in an archetypical "rugged" environment.<br />
Since the early 1920s, 150 movies and about a dozen television shows have<br />
been filmed here, including Tom Mix films, Hopalong Cassidy films, The<br />
Gene Autry Show, and The Lone Ranger. Classics such as Gunga Din,<br />
Springfield Rifle, and How the West Was Won, as well as more recent<br />
productions such as Tremors and Joshua Tree, were filmed at sites<br />
known as Movie Flats and Movie Flat Road. In Gladiator, actor Russell Crowe<br />
rides a horse in front of the Alabamas, with Mount Whitney in the background, for a<br />
scene presumably set in Spain. Star Trek Generations was filmed here in addition to<br />
Overton, Nevada and Paramount Studios. More recently, many parts of the films<br />
Iron Man and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen were filmed here.<br />
