Circus Time is Just Around The Corner It’s almost time for the Circus again. It will be here before we know it. The Circus Staff has been working hard to get everything in line. We could not make this happen without the help of the Nobles and all the others behind the scenes. It takes many hands to make it a success. If anybody has any time to help out before, during or after the show we would much appreciate it. For you new Nobles you don’t have to belong to a unit or club to help. Just show up and we will find something for you to do.

The Second Section hosted the 48th annual Potentates’ Party on February 4th at the Shrine Center. It was great to see the good turnout of Shriners and their guests to honor Illustrious Poten- tate Tony Bowers. There was a good showing of Divan members present as well as the Second Section members in their green dress jackets. Director Dulac was the MC for the evening and did a great job with the introductions of the 2012 Divan and Past Poten- tates in attendance. Once again, Lady Robyn Dulac designed the centerpiec- es for the table of a mug with a sticker replica of Potentate Bowers’ pin. Di- rector Dulac announced that the one person at each table with a birthday closest to our Potentate would be able to take the glass home. Great job on those Robyn, they were awesome. The meal of baked ham or turkey was put on by the Shrine Clowns and everyone I spoke to raved about the meal. Once again, the Clowns did a great job. The music was performed by Rockin’ Ron’s and by all accounts it was very well received as it looked like every- one had a great time dancing. Tip of the Fez to Past Potentate/ Recorder, Sonny Crocker for helping the unit sell tickets for the evening. Congratula- tions to Noble Harland Williamson for winning the 50/50 at the party. And lastly a big thank you goes out to those Second Section members who came in early on Sunday to clean up from the party. A good showing of members made the cleanup quicker and easier. As mentioned in last month’s Anah- gram the Second Section is selling Shrine tumblers with the Shrine logo, and the “Silent Messenger” pictured on them. We have two different sizes available. We have 14 oz. glasses in a set of four for $25.00, and a 12 oz. glasses in a set of four for $20.00. If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these, contact our Quartermaster, Chris Robison at 907-9720 and he
Turning to look backwards we often miss something better coming. If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he has read. Always put off until tomorrow what you shouldn’t do at all. Every man seems to fall into one of two groups. He’s either old and bent, or young and broke.

Noble Michael “Sid” Alley, Reporter By the time this comes out in print, our annual Family Valentines Dance will have come and gone. This event is a big one for us bikers. It’s always well attend- ed and the big kids have as much fun as the little ones. For many years the dance has been Coke and Jesse Giles baby. They are the daughter and granddaughter of Noble Paul Giles. They arranged ev- erything for us; collecting soda and door prizes as well as arranging for the DJ and the pizza and the list goes on. Sadly, at our last unit meeting on January18th, Coke announced that it was time for them to step aside and take a much deserved break. To say they will be missed is an understatement. Now it’s time for the bikers to put their big boy pants on and continue this unit tradition on our own. Thankfully, the ladies said they would be there for us should we need advice or a shoulder to cry on. So thank you ladies, As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way!! MARCH 2012 11

Hello Fellow Academicians. Hope everyone has had a good winter. The next unit meeting is Wednesday, March 28th and will again be at Kev-Lan on Broadway in Bangor across from the Gifford’s Ice Cream Shop. Festivities begin at 6pm. It is a great place to have these meetings, so let’s please have a good turnout. We’ll debrief the Ceremonial, discuss the upcoming Circus, and have a happy good old time as usual. Ladies, kids, other family members, prospective members, and friends are always wel- come. Congratulations to Donnie Copeland and Virginia who by this time should be offi- cially married. I have been told that they were to be married in Canada as Virginia has many family connections there, and they visit there often. We wish them all the best and all the happiness in the world.

Hope everybody remem- bers our Annual Meeting, March 3rd, at the Oriental Jade. Congratulations go to our new Potentate, Tony Bowers. A great A new direction for Springfield Hospital time was had at his Ceremonial. No pups, no kittens, no grandchildren, The Springfield Shriners Board of Governors has been working diligently to come up with a long-term strategic plan for our, at the request of the Shri- guess we will have to go to birthdays. Birthday wishes go to Don Emmons and ners’ Joint boards in Tampa, Florida. At our December Meeting, held on my best friend, Donna. Anniversary’s this December 8, 2011, the Board voted unanimously to pursue the following month, well it’s like hunting season, there model: was none. 1. Our current building would become a pediatric specialty center, serving If there is any Noble that would like to the needs of children in New England and parts of New York; be part of the 4x4 unit, just give me a call 2. We will continue to provide orthopedic care along with the other specialty at 794-6675. Our next regular meeting services for which we are known. In addition we will serve as a specialty will be April 2nd, at 7:00 pm at the Anah center for additional types of specialty care through partnerships with other Shrine Center. We meet the first Monday providers and organizations; of the month, April through November. 3. We will continue to provide outpatient clinical services in our building; Some Blue Lodges go dark January and 4. We will expand the reach of our physical and occupational therapy, February. Attend their March meeting and allowing that service to accept prescriptions for therapy from doctors not help bring them back to light! UNTILL affiliated with Shriners, in order to better serve the needs of our community; NEXT TIME, SEE YA! 5. We will expand our orthotics and prosthetics department, allowing that service to accept prescriptions from doctors not affiliated with Shriners, and VISA and MASTERCARD encouraging other hospitals within our system to utilize our O&P department; are accepted 6. We will continue to maintain our clinical Outcomes Assessment Lab at the Recorder’s Office (notion analysis lab) and will attempt to increase its utilization through for your convenience marketing efforts; 7. We will utilize our operating rooms to provide same-day (ambulatory) surgeries and procedures. We will attempt to increase its utilization so that our two operating rooms and one procedure room will be busy five (5) days a week. We will be closed evenings and weekends; 8. We will continue to handle surgeries requiring in-patient stays, but these will be provided at a nearby hospital, utilizing our surgeons and residents, and he other facility’s nursing staff;
By making these changes, we hope to be able to serve more children than we currently serve, with less financial reliance on the Shriners’ endowment.
These changes will not be easy, and the transition this proposed model will not happen overnight. The model will need to be approved by the Joint Boards in Tampa. The changes will need to be approved by the Common- wealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Some of the propos- als outlined above will require amendments to the Shriners’ Hospital Bylaws. Complex contractual arrangements will need to be negotiated with our strategic partners.
This is an exciting time for the Springfield Shriners Hospital as we embark on a new journey to serve children in our community. We all need to work together as a team if we are going to accomplish this amazing transition.
Sincerely,
David H. Burstein, Esq. Chairman
