POTENTATE’s MEssAGE - [email protected]
Ladies and Nobles,
With the Shrine resuming unit and club meetings, it is very nice to
once again see some of the familiar faces I missed all these months
spent at home. The stated meetings will continue online for the
foreseeable future, but it is very nice to resume in person Shrine
activities with limited numbers. Please continue to stay safe and
follow all the recommended health and safety guidelines. I look
forward to the day when we can all meet in person again, and resume fun and
fellowship.
Thank you for all the kind words regarding my articles! I received a lot of compliments
from many Nobles and ladies, and even from non-Shriners. Brother Treasurer Dud
Morris of Post Oak Island Lodge Number 181 in beautiful Downtown Beaukiss, where I
am honored to serve as Worshipful Master this Masonic year, told me at our last stated
meeting that he liked my articles and that I was a pretty good writer. Almost as good
as him, he added.
With cooler weather upon us, I thought I would share this month a winter story from my
grandparents’ village. I have not personally witnessed the events in this story, but I
was assured multiple times that they are real and happened exactly as described.
First, a little background. I spent most of my summers working with my grandparents
on their farm, learning the importance of hard work and perseverance. The farm was
the home of most farm animals that can tolerate four seasons. The weather is similar
to northern Montana weather.
Most farms in the village had the usual animals, such as chickens, sheep, pigs, cows,
horses, cats and dogs. Some of the families have unusual breeds of cows, sheep,
chickens and pigs, and they always get funny and incredulous looks from the rest of the
villagers. “Why would you waste your feed on such a strange looking farm animal? Are
they useful in any way?” As usual, the nail that stuck out got hammered. This applied
to almost everyone except the lucky few who were seen as civic leaders in the village.
These civic leaders were the mayor, the police chief, the doctor, the teacher and the
priest. They were treated similarly to the treatment that Divan members receive at the
Shrine.
There are many religious traditions in the village and most of them involve showing up
at church with a fresh chicken and some vegetables. Does your foot hurt and you’d like
the priest to say a prayer for your health? It’ll cost you one chicken and about ten
pounds of potatoes. Are you having a particularly long string of bad luck and you’d like
the priest to say a prayer for you? It’ll cost you a chicken and a few pounds of corn
meal. Throw in some apples or other fruits if your problem is particularly bad.
As such, the priest had his regular supply of chicken, but I suppose he wanted some
more variety in his choice of meat. His answer to this particular problem was to raise
Oct 2020 4
geese. Nobody else in the village dared to raise geese because they did not want to be
seen as challenging the priest and therefore incur some divine punishment. Everyone
in the village knew about the priest and his strange birds, yet nobody dared to say an-
ything. I compared the treatment of the civic leaders to the treatment the Divan re-
ceives as Ben Hur Shrine. Well, the way the villagers treated the priest and his geese
is very similar to the treatment my bad jokes receive. People tolerate them in relative
silence. There’s the isolated comment here and there, but that’s about it.
None of the religious traditions involved alcohol. Most families made their own moon-
shine, and some were better than others. Moonshine was the only alcohol available in
the village, except for the “fancy” alcohol that was collecting dust on the shelves at the
store because nobody wanted to try it. Every once in a while, someone would make a
beer run, but that took most of the day because it involved a horse and carriage run of
about forty miles. First, twenty miles downhill to the beer factory with an empty car-
riage. That was the easy part. The return trip took a lot longer. People have been
known to drink an entire case of beer during the return trip, justifying it as “lightening
the load” for the horses that now had less beer to haul uphill to the village.
Aside from his affinity for strange and unusual meats, the priest also had a desire for
more refined alcohol. Since moonshine was the only available alcohol that could be
easily made, and the priest and his family could not be seen purchasing alcohol or hav-
ing a share in a beer run, the only reasonable choice was flavored moonshine. The
choices were limited too by the availability of flavors. The priest evaluated his options
and decided to settle on sour cherries. So, one particular year, he decided to try his
hand at making a batch of sour cherry flavored moonshine.
Please don’t try any of this at home, and let the professionals handle the production of
alcohol. I’m not suggesting in any way that you should engage in the production of al-
cohol or do anything else that may be illegal.
Now that I got that out of the way, on to the good part of the story.
Quality moonshine takes some time to make, much like everything else of quality. The
priest followed his usual process that was a tried and true recipe that most of the vil-
lage was following. It’s very simple, really. Take some fruit, let the sugar in it ferment
into alcohol, boil the fruit mixture and cool the vapors to get the alcohol. Now that you
know how it’s done, DON’T DO IT!
Cooling the vapors usually involved snow, which was readily available in the village
starting in early November. With a fresh batch of moonshine on hand, the priest then
decided to thaw the frozen sour cherries he has saved and mix the two. After a few
weeks, the flavor of the cherries permeates through the moonshine and the remaining
cherries settle on the bottom, with significantly less flavor but a very high alcohol con-
tent.

The priest was very happy with the results of his experiment. It was mid-December
and he had a new drink for the holiday season! He had kept is secret from everyone
else outside his family. After all, he got a pass with raising geese, and he didn’t want
to push his luck. Now seems like a good time for one of my traditional bad puns. Here
goes! This priest had done some good work with the spirits. Get it? Moonshine…
Spirits… One more? I think I’d better stop before a bolt of lightning takes me out and I
don’t get to finish the story.
With the moonshine safely separated from the sour cherries, the priest had a fresh
issue on his hands. What could he do with the left-over sour cherries? He decided that
he would just throw them on the compost pile behind the barn, since that was out of
the view of prying eyes. He was probably chuckling to himself thinking that he has
gotten away with it. Alas, such was not the case. Read on!
A couple of days passed and one afternoon the priest’s wife (Christian Orthodox priests
in Romania are required to be married before being assigned to a parish) came to talk
to her husband. She was very upset and didn’t know what to do, because a great
tragedy had fallen on their family. You see, all their geese were dead! They thought
some envious and narrow-minded villager had poisoned them since the geese were so
unusual for that village. If you think this is an over-reaction, I should probably mention
the family who decided to completely demolish their barn because one year a lost stork
flew through the village and landed on their barn to rest. This was such an unusual
event that the family decided it was a bad omen, so they demolished the barn, asked
the priest to sanctify the ground underneath and rebuilt the barn at another location.
So, poisoning some geese was not really outside the realm of possibilities.
Determined to get at least some use out of the geese, the priest decided to pluck the
geese and use the feathers for pillows. Eating the meat was out of the question since
the cause of death was unknown. At least the family would have some soft pillows,
since goose feathers were considered much better than the usual chicken feathers the
rest of the village was using.
So, the priest and his wife set to work. They plucked all the feathers from the geese and discarded the geese on the same compost pile where the sour cherries were previously discarded. It takes a while to pluck a dozen or so geese, but they made quick work of it and soon they were done. But now they needed to sort through the feathers and separate the soft feathers from the rest of the feathers. They did that too, and ended up with enough feathers for a few pillows. The wife set to work on making the pillows while the priest decided to have a shot of moonshine and contemplate the day’s events.
Suddenly, a great noise outside grabbed their attention. About a dozen or so very unusual creatures were running around the yard, making a terrible racket. It took the priest and his wife a while to realize that the dead geese had come back to life and were now running around the yard trying to keep their featherless bodies from being too cold.
Oct 2020 6
continued
The geese were quickly herded into the barn, because it was the only place where they
could be kept warm until their feathers grew back. An investigation of the compost pile
made it clear what had happened. The geese found the discarded sour cherries and ate
them. They got drunk, passed out, and were presumed dead. The geese somehow
managed to sleep through being plucked. Once the alcohol wore off, the geese woke
up and started to make a racket.
As you may imagine, this whole adventure was now impossible to be kept secret from
the rest of the village. Everyone had heard the geese running around the yard, and a
few villagers noticed that they were completely featherless. A couple of more daring
villagers entered the yard and offered to help the priest herd the geese into the barn.
While doing so, they noticed the geese droppings had an unusually high content of
cherry pits. And why did the geese smell like moonshine?
They may have been villagers, but they weren’t stupid. It didn’t take long to put
together the sequence of events. Most villagers thought the entire story was uniquely
funny. The priest thought that the punishment he received for trying to hide his work
with the spirits (ha!) from the rest of the world was just. I had the fortune of meeting
the priest towards the end of his tenure and on our way home from church that
Sunday, my grandmother delighted me with this story.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Fraternally, Romeo Denghel

Nobles, Ladies, and Friends,
What a wild year it's been! I hope everyone is healthy and doing
whatever brings you joy. I can't help but feel disheartened for our
Potentate, Imperial Potentate, and Grand Master for having to deal
with all that has been thrown at them in 2020 impacting the years
they worked so hard to plan. I know it has almost completely de-
railed my fundraising as Chief Rabban. The one thing all of these
great men have in common is a strong drive and devotion to their beliefs. This has
been a huge lesson for me. Over the past few months I have had a lot of time to re-
flect on this and the past few years in general. When I began this Divan journey I had
been a Shriner for less than two years. Romeo and I already had a connection from
Post Oak Island Lodge where I am the Junior Past Master and he is the sitting Worship-
ful Master. To say we have worked extremely closely from the beginning would be an
understatement. That doesn't mean we have always agreed, but we have always been
able to have productive conversations and learn from each other.
In September we had one of these conversations that was not easy. In looking at my
work situation and some professional opportunities that I have been presented with,
the time I will have available over the next two years is going to be extremely limited.
After much thought and discussion with my wife, I have decided I will not be availa-
ble to serve as Potentate next year. I will be available to help from time to time but I
am not able to devote the time I have in the past and rather than "phone it in" I will
be nominating another Noble to serve as the Potentate in 2021. I believe we are on a
strong course and I will do what I am able to help continue that path. I want to thank
everyone who has supported me on this journey.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Paul Pennington

Howdy Nobles and Ladies,
Pam and I are doing well and I hope you guys are the same. I am doing well after my shoulder surgery and was able to lose the sling. I started physical therapy and am doing well. No pain, no gain. Can’t wait to take my Harley out again.
We visited the Ben Hur Travel Club at their campout in Cald-well. Good food, fellowship and card games as always. The Ben Hur Travel Club also donated 250 dollars to Lady Alice’s Rising Star program for our hospitals. Thanks guys. Continued next page.

From the Oriental Guide— [email protected] Howdy All,
Janet and I were finally able to get out and be with fellow Shriners.
Last month we were able to go to the Board of Directors meeting
while the Ladies went out to dinner. We also drove to Caldwell for a
meeting and fun afternoon of socializing with the Travel Club.
This month we went to the Highland Lake Shrine Club stated
Meeting. It was great to see everyone again. We then went to San
Antonio to Alzafar Shrine and picked up a pork butt dinner we had
ordered from the Hot Sands BBQ Unit. They did a great job with the pork and sides,
and the Ladies were working hard selling pies and items for Lady Alice’s Project. We got
to socialize with many Nobles and their Ladies. We were unexpectedly treated to a nice
lunch followed by a parade in the parking lot.
Janet and I are heading to Boerne on Sept. 18th for a weekend with most of our Texas
Counterparts. Cannot wait to get to know each other better and having fun. We will
report on all the shenanigans in next month’s Chariot.
I am still working on getting a cornhole tournament going. I hope to come up with
something in the not too distant future. We need to get ready to have a team together
to enter the competition in Houston at the Imperial session in July 2021. Right now, I
am thinking about a Fun Group get-together and run a cornhole tournament in the
hopes of seeing who might be good candidates for the 2021 challenge which Imperial
Sir Jim Smith has issued to every Temple. There would be an entry fee of $10 or $20
per person and the winner will get fifty percent of the intake and fifty percent will go to
Lady Alice’s Project. If you are interested, please let me know so I can get an idea of
how to move forward with this. James Heineman
Alzafar sold pork butt and the fixings and on September 12th we drove down to their Temple to pick it up along with the Heinemans. The Alzafar Hot Sands BBQ Unit cooked 55 pork butts all prepaid. We all thought it was just a drive by and pick up. It turned into a pretty good time. There were a bunch of Nobles and Ladies there and we had lunch with everyone. Their brew club “The Brews Brothers” even had some samples for everyone. They even had a mini parade around the parking lot. It was good seeing everyone and networking ideas. Maybe a Ben Hur Shrine BBQ team in the future?
We visited the Hill Country Shrine Club meeting in Marble Falls along with the Heinemans and our Illustrious Potentate Romeo and Lady Holly. We had a good visit and enjoyed the hospitality. Those folks always make us feel right at home. They are planning to shake the bucket soon so stay tuned.
It’s off to another month and by the time you read this I will be another year older. These are strange times and we have many limitations on how we can get together. We are trying to still stand proud during these times. We have to make do with what we can do and enjoy our time together when it happens. Call each other and check on you brothers. I had several brothers and ladies call me after my surgery. It was good to know folks care about you. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Remember to stay Ben Hur Proud.

San Francisco here we come!!!
The Imperial Shrine Session will take place in San Francisco California July 26-28, 1932.
Ben Hur nobles are packed and ready to go on a special train traveling four cars. Their
famed chariot is on board along with all the uniforms and instruments. Potentate E.C.
Munro has been contacted by the Potentate of Ballut Abyad Temple in Albuquerque NM
requesting that the train make a stop in Gallup for a parade and entertainment that
evening before continuing to San Francisco. They advise that Gallup is in the middle of
Indian country and their Indian Aide will see that there are plenty braves to meet the
train. Ben Hur nobles were asked to be in full uniform upon their arrival for a parade
through the business district. The Recorder stated that they can make lots of
“whoopee” over there. There were no reports of the events of the evening but you can
be sure they were well treated.
The overall expenses for thirty two nobles including round trip train, meals, hotel and
per diem came to one hundred and ten dollars per person. This was during the depres-
sion and apparently Ben Hur paid for the trip.
There were a total of four parades.There was a parade to end all parades. Ben Hur’s
chariot was such a hit that it made
front page in the San Francisco and
Houston papers. Too many events took
place to list: however, some of those
more spectactular events were military
band concerts, boxing tournaments,
yacht regatta, Chinatown Fete, Army
and Navy Air Forces maneuvers, and
many more. The floats listed in the
program was impressive. Many industrial floats, floats from the movie industry, civic
groups and more.
Festive balls, banquets and presentations took place each day in addition to golf tourna-
ments, automobile tours of the city and baseball games.
Ben Hur nobles departed San Francisco on July 28th at 6:00PM and arrived in Austin on
July 30th at 8:00PM.

Like everyone, I pray for a return to normalcy and for an end to this Covid-19
pandemic. At the present time, the banquet and dining room at Berry Creek
Country Club is closed for our Club's dinner meetings, and Berry Creek has no
plans to reopen the banquet room before January 2021. Jim Crawford and I are
pursuing other options. So far, we have not been very successful, but please
stay tuned.
I hope everyone in Sun City had the opportunity to read the recent and
excellent Sun Rays article about Noble Al Blaschke's celebratory parachute
jump at age 103.
There will not be the usual Club elections in October, for the 2021 Officers,
President, VP, Treasurer and Secretary. However, we will at an appropriate and
safe time, conduct the election. Please note that Noble and Vice-President David
Lynn, will not be available for election to president.
Time seems to fly. So, it won't be long before WILCO Shrine Club decorates the
entrances and bridges of Sun City, with Holiday and Christmas Lights. Noble
Jack Neal, our longtime chairman of this colossal undertaking plans to
step down after the 2020 Holidays and Yule-tide season. Noble Gary Kramer will
become chairman for 2021. Gary, we really appreciate you assuming the
leadership role. Jack, there are no words to describe how much we ALL
appreciate your dedication and leadership.
My best wishes to each of you. All Y'all Stay Safe and Well.
