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 />

are interested in helping!<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 />

around 7:00<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 />
