Potentate’sMessage

Nobles and ladies, the Potentate’s “FireBall” was a great success. First Lady Gail and I were speechless when we walked into the Sahib Auditorium. Our Lady Sharon Pegoraro and her magical team had transformed our vision into memories that will last a lifetime. The team of nobles and ladies worked diligently to ensure we had a stress-free experience for our almost 300 guests for this treasured occasion. A special thanks to Past Potentate Dale LaBell for emceeing, Lady Marylou Ellis for organizing tickets and tables, the World Famous Oriental Band performance and everyone who helped and attended the Ball. What a special day! “Thank you all.”

Hospital Days were held and we had help with the collections for our Transportation Fund so we can get the kids to the hospitals. Thanks to the team leaders and their committees for working so hard.

The East/West Shrine Game trip to Tropicana Field was a great success. For those who attended we had a great time and a great bus ride up and back. Thank you cooks, set-up crew, servers and helpers. A big thanks to the FOP for the use of their facility. West won!

Rusty Nail Degree was held at Sahib and was very well attended. The Past Masters did a great job under the direction of High Priest & Prophet Gene Marinelli. Thanks to R.W. Ronald E. Baber, District Deputy Grand Master of Florida, for being here. If you missed this one, I am sure there will be another next year. So, be sure to check the 2018 calendar. Great job Director of Ritual Noble Barry Hart 33° and his team.

Have you gotten your new member for Sahib? Our Membership Chairman Gene Marinelli, High Priest and Prophet, and Ill. Sir Connie Jacobi PP are waiting for you to bring your candidate’s application to them. If we all work on this program, we can bring our membership back. Team work will make it happen.

Check your calendar for March and April we have a lot going on at Sahib, so get involved! Remember to support your Shrine and keep a child in your heart!

Fraternally Yours,

William “Bill” Balkwill Sahib Potentate 2017

The activity at Sahib continues at a break neck speed with many nobles getting involved. The new awnings are finally completed and in place giving the facility a face lift. There are many projects continuing as there is always work to be done to keep the facility in shape. There are nobles volunteering, but it seems workers are always needed as things seem to happen, as one project is completed, another must be addressed.

The Imperial Potentate and his Imperial Lady will visit Sahib on the 9th of this month, so nobles, if you are available, please attend the luncheon, you will be able to purchase luncheon tickets at the door as always. Contact your fellow club or unit members and let’s have a great welcoming

turnout of nobility. Our ladies will be greeting the Imperial Lady in a special luncheon in the Sahara Room, their ticket reservation must be made by March 2nd.

The Divan continues its work on meeting responsibilities and obligations at Sahib. We need your help nobles. Each of us can help by planning to attend a social activity or have a dinner outing at the Sahara Restaurant at least once a month. There is a new chef to help Chef Kevin in the kitchen and they are turning out some delicious items for your enjoyment.

Don’t sit down yet. Now that February is behind us (where did the first two months go?), March is here and will have you running at full speed. Our Imperial Potentate and his Imperial Lady will be here on March 9th. Of course, we have our usual Pancake Breakfast, Birthday/Anniversary Dinner Dance, Men’s Luncheon and Hillbilly Dinner. Just to add a few more to your schedule, we have Bar Bingo every Monday evening and regular Bingo all day Tuesday. March 15 is Tampa Bay Downs Sahib Race Day. March 17 is the St. Patty’s Day

Dinner. Every Wednesday we draw our Queen of Hearts. March 17 - 26 is the Sarasota County Fair, and last, but not least, the 26th is the Spring Fling Party.

Manatee Shrine ClubRussell Sexton, President, drsexton45gmail.com

Thanks to all 54 members and ladies who attended our January 6th meeting. That’s four more than last month. Our membership grew by one as James Gardener was our first new member for 2017. We have word that additional men are planning on joining. We heard from our Treasurer Ron LeVene that through the efforts of LeRoy Hocking contact has been made with the Pirates Baseball organization regarding a possible restart of a working contract with the Pirates. More on this to come as Ron LeVene, Jim Smith and Connie Jacobi have formed an exploratory committee to flush out the details of a working relationship with the Pirates. Bob Rodd presented an appeal for volunteers to help staff the hospital days February 2-5 at the Publix on US 301.

Our guest speakers at the January meeting were from the Sarasota Military Academy (SMA) and included Colonel Benjamin Knisely, U.S.

Army-Retired, Administrator Victoria Finley and two cadets. They informed us of the academic and military programs that develop character and national pride in the nearly 1,600 cadets in grades 6-12. The two cadets each spoke extemporaneously on their experience that brought them to SMA and what they received from the educational environment that exists there. It was a pleasure to hear from such accomplished young people. Hats off to SMA.

The Manatee Shrine Club meets on the first Friday of the month at the Peridia Golf & Country Club, Bradenton, Florida. The social hour begins at 11:00 p.m. with lunch served at 12:00 noon. Meal reservations for the March 3rd meeting should be made the Friday before the scheduled meeting to Marty Jordan at (941) 981-2687 or [email protected].

Motor Corps Shrine ClubGiles Light (G-man), Secretary, [email protected]

It is March. We return to Daylight Savings Time on Sunday, March 12th. Then spring is only three weeks away on March 19. For Motor Corps Shrine Club members, this means more time to ride in warmer temperatures and more sunlight. Perfect! If you had a motorcycle, you could join us.

Since the new year began, the Motor Corps has kept a busy schedule. The next few months also, are going to keep us busy as well. However, before we talk about more recent events, there is some belated news to share with our readers. So, we go back to mid-January to begin.

Some of our members participated in this year’s “Thunder by the Bay” motorcycle rally in Sarasota the weekend of January 5-8. Only problem was that this year’s rally was not held by the bay in downtown Sarasota, but rather in Lakewood Ranch. Wonder where it will be next year?

At our regular meeting in January, we drew the winning ticket for our sportsman’s raffle. The winner was DDGM Al Dahlberg (Big Al), a member of the Motor Corps. Congratulations to

Al and thanks to all those that purchased tickets.In late January, five members of the Motor

Corps pressure cleaned the motorcycle concrete parking pad in front of the building. We also did a little yard work and raked the area on two sides of the pad. Thanks to Temp Hamilton (Snoozy), Steve Helin (Varmint), George Hernandez (Silver Fox), Don Basham (The Don) and Giles Light (G-man).

Several of our members were in Cocoa Beach the weekend of February 2nd through the 4th for the Florida Association of Shrine Motor Corps (FASMC) Mid-Winter Gathering. Representatives from Shrine Motor Corps Units in Florida attended the event. Among our Sahib Shriners were John Hubbard (Hot Rod), who is currently serving as president of the organization and Hampton Crimi (Monk) who is secretary. Others in attendance were Ed Jordan (Photoshop), who is executive secretary; Barry Hart (Policyman); Dave Mashia (OD); Darren Bracken (Schmoozer); Bob Hammer (Hammertime); and Scott Steelman (Gray Fox).




North Port Shrine ClubJohn Brophy, Scribe, [email protected]

Since your scribe’s attendance record at our Tuesday Breakfasts has been somewhat perfunctory due to what facetiously may be called “golden years problems” there has not been much forthcoming from North Port Shrine Club. Hopefully, things will change for the better with President Wheatcroft volunteering to be our roving reporter. That being said, I request all information, pictures, et al. be in writing, in detail, pictures sent as attachments via email. Phone calls are a problem especially from a cell phone to our land-line phone. Voice fidelity is quite poor and our old ears have problems understanding. I thank you in advance. This does not mean there will be a NPSC article in every “Reporter” edition. We’ll try our best.

Toward the end of January our President “Wheatie” was presented with a check for $500 for the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Tampa from the local New York Giants fan club. These fans saw the TV announcements and were prompted to select NPSC as the messenger. Many thanks from us and the hospital. Advertising does pay.

There have been picnics, mixers and more to come in February. Maybe information on these events will be noted in the next “Reporter?” Since your scribe no longer has an automobile and depends on his Lady Kitty for transportation and

the fact that we do not travel at night or stray far from the nest means depending on others for information. C’est la vie!

It seems fitting to recognize the Olde World Restaurant on its 30th birthday as they provide the setting for our Tuesday Breakfasts. Congratulations to owners Christine Zagrobelny and Teresa Skoczylas.

There is still a considerable amount of QN and Bits and Pieces cluttering up my desk so those items are still a go. So here goes.

(Bits and Pieces) He missed! A Florida man almost lost his finger when he tried to shoot off his wedding ring. After drinking and arguing with his wife, he pulled out a gun and blasted at his hand. He told police he was trying to get rid of the ring. The shot badly mangled his finger but the ring didn’t come off. Cue---laughter.

(Quotable Notable) Who said? “Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.” The usual comped breakfast for two for the correct answer.

QN for December 2016: J. K. Rawling who said, “Those who choose not to empathize enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.”

Venice Shrine ClubTim Kinchla, Secretary, [email protected]

On Saturday, January 28th at 8:15 p.m., a small force of the Venice Shrine Club Keystone Kops, led by Chief Bill Moore, conducted a surprise raid on the Sahib Potentate’s Ball of the newly installed Ill. Sir Bill Balkwill being held at Sahib Shriners.

The 300 in attendance witnessed the arrest of Illustrious Potentate Balkwill. He was taken into custody and was held for the infamous Keystone Kops Kangaroo Court. Charges by the Keystone Kops, against Ill. Sir Balkwill were impersonating a Shriner and other crimes against Shrinedom, to be determined later.

Ill. Sir’s bail was set at $500. Guests at the Potentate’s Ball were asked by First Lady Gail to take pity on the Potentate. Nobles and guests managed to raise sufficient funds to cover his bail and obtain his release. Those in attendance praised the Keystone Kops for their professional action and their faithfulness to duty.

The raiding party from the Venice Shrine Club Keystone Kops consisted of the following nobles: Kops Chief Bill Moore, Assistant Chief Russ Mattson, Quartermaster Evan Lebson, Flatfoot Don Koleson and Flatfoot Garner Kimbrell. Be on the alert, the Kops are alive and well!

SHRINE UNIT NEWS

By the time you read this, the U.S. President and our own “FireBall Express” Potentate William “Bill” Balkwill will have served their flock for two months. Changes have been made and I am sure there are more to come. The Clowns wish both of them success and their success will help the Clowns and our Shrine be successful. Fire!

Two Clowns, Harold “Scrappy” Bell and Rick “Sliver” Taylor attended the East/West football players’ reception at the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Tampa on January 15 and had a great time entertaining the patients and giving handshakes to the many players. Oh yes, we had to look up at them in more than one way. Big is not the correct word for their size, it should be more like really big. Despite the size, it was once again a beautiful picture to see these men play and work with the patients in games of catch or pushing in a swing. Oh yes, these guys were so happy to be in pictures with whomever. All Shriners should make sure they are part of this event and witness their patients in action. Of course, you can see pictures of Scrappy and Sliver in action at the hospital in my article.

On Saturday, January 21st, Scrappy and Sliver traveled to Tropicana Field to be part of the East/West Football Game festivities on the field and in the stands. Before going inside, there was a “parking lot feast.” The Shrine had a space cordoned off where food and drinks were served in two lines for about two hours. Sure, we

had some barbecue chicken and ribs. Then, it was pre-game introductions on the field followed by lots of fun for us entertaining the many children in the stands. It was a fun, but a long day.

The Clowns’ Birthday/Anniversary Dinner Dance is now history and we hope that everybody had a great time celebrating with your Valentine or doing your thing for Mardi Gras. The Clowns say a big thank you to our ladies for their beautiful decorations and their time for putting them up. We will see you next year for even more fun.

Well, we will see you soon in Arcadia and until then, remember it is our Shrine children for whom we are working.

Oriental BandJim Austin, [email protected]

At the end of January, it was our band’s pleasure to welcome and play a couple of songs for our 2017 Potentate Bill Balkwill and his First Lady Gail. The members of our group are confident that he will be helpful and positive in this new position, and good for our organization during his year. He sure had a great gathering in the Main Hall for his Ball and we were happy to welcome him aboard along with the rest of the membership.

Happy to tell you that our band is continuing to grow and now have welcomed one more gentleman to our little group in January. As always, we equip newcomers with a variety of instruments and someone is assigned to help the newcomers with their choices. Quite often a new person will

maybe change their first choice and decide to try some other instrument. It’s done often for one reason or another. Almost every member of this band can play more than one, and quite a few can play all of them. This helps our fearless leader, Floyd LaDue, adjust the band as a whole, to be the best we can be (borrowing a line from the Army).

Scottish Riteby Casey A. Fletcher, KCCH, [email protected]

At the core of the second section of the Master Mason’s Degree, lies a legend in which three unworthy Fellow Crafts plot against a worthy Mason. The appearance of these ruffians is one of the more memorable twists of our ceremonies.

According to the Blue Lodge tradition, a crime is committed, the culprits captured and justice administered. In the Third Degree of Scottish Rite Masonry (which is neither conferred nor exemplified in this Grand Lodge jurisdiction), the legend is different in an important respect. The ruffians escape and the degree’s narrative moves on.

It is not until the Ninth and Tenth Degrees that the Scottish Rite deals with the ruffians. This postponement is helpful. We are further along in our Masonic journey and have had a chance to reflect upon the story told thus far. The ruffians are not ancillary characters in the Scottish Rite, they symbolize numerous ideas and offer lessons to consider. As with all Masonic symbols, the ruffians can represent a number of things. Here are a few.

In a political or societal sense, the ruffians can be given the names of King-craft, Priest-craft and Mob-craft. King-craft suggests political tyranny and despotism, those forms and practices of governance that threaten liberty and freedom. Priest-craft refers to religious intolerance and threats to our freedom of conscience. Mob-craft threatens the rule of law; the peace and safety of our society.

To Masons who trace our symbolism back to ancient solar mysteries, the three ruffians represent the three winter months which plot to murder the beauty and glory of summer, destroying the life-giving heat of the Sun. The ruffians might remind us of the unconquerable cycles of life.

At an individual level, the ruffians represent personal vices: ignorance, ambition and fanaticism. Such symbols are central themes of the Ninth and Tenth Degrees.

Socrates wrote of ignorance. No man, he said, seeing good and evil side by side will choose evil unless he is too blind to see its results. Our own ignorance can deceive us as surely as any ruffian. Socrates’ remedy for such a vice was education.

So, one ruffian, by way of a negative example, encourages our continual search for Light.

Plato, in his works, describes the dangers of ambition. He likens the life of a man to that of driving a team of two horses, one tame, called Self-Control, and one wild, named Ambition. So long as the wild horse of Ambition is held firmly, all goes well. But often enough, the wild horse gets loose and there is a runaway and a wreck. Ambition can disrupt our lives as surely as a ruffian.

Aristotle admonishes fanaticism. He asserts we cannot grasp any Truth until we admit a certain moral weakness in our hearts. He would have us overcome this weakness with humility and the aid of Divine help. It is easy to recognize fanaticism in the world around us and still easier to ascribe it to others. But fanaticism and intolerance in our conduct, if not checked, can harm us as surely as a setting maul.

There are still other allegories that might be reflected upon. We may consider the wounds the ruffians inflicted -- at the throat, heart, and head.

The wound at the throat silences freedom of speech. The wound at the heart attacks the conscience and the head wound assaults the intellect and reason.

In the Scottish Rite, the ruffians are not ancillary characters. They serve instructive purposes and contain rich symbolism. These three characters may give us as much to reflect upon as does the character and example of our Grand Master.

The Ninth and Tenth Degrees of the Scottish Rite will be conferred at our Spring Reunion on April 22 and April 29. Petitions are available at http://tampascottishrite.org.

The Valley of Tampa regularly meets at its Center in Tampa on the 2nd Monday of each month. Dinner is served at 5:45 p.m. and the regular meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. At our March 13th meeting, Worshipful Kenneth Carolan, 32nd Degree, will present an education program.

Casey Fletcher is Past Master of Tuscan Lodge No. 6 in Bartow, Florida. He avoids setting mauls.

Masonic Digest



For several years, Sahib Shriners had what was referred to as an “Angel Fund’ to assist nobles who were unable to pay their dues because of health, financial or age related issues. The “Angel Fund” remitted the necessary funds to keep them as current members, and to avoid suspension due to non-payment of Shrine dues.

This fund has been fully exhausted and there is no place in our budget to replenish the fund. This is where you can lend a helping hand to a fellow Shrine Mason, if he is in good standing within his Blue Lodge.

For your contribution of $35, you can keep one delinquent member from being removed from our membership rolls for another year pending his status as a Master Mason. You can personally select a member from the current delinquent list, or we will do it for you.

Please remember these nobles in need of a helping hand. Stop by the office and be responsible for keeping a fellow Shriner on the active list.



Sar-I Court No. 79 - LOSNAby Peggy Sue Mitchell, High Priestess, [email protected]

Nyla Temple No. 152by Deanie Jacobi, Queen, [email protected]

The banquet at Sahib Shriners for Nyla Temple No. 152 was honored to have Her Majesty Supreme Queen Cathy Carol Rose along with Illustrious Sir Bill Balkwill and First Lady Gail with us. It was an honor indeed to have all three.

Nyla Temple is growing and we welcome you to join us for fun, fellowship and working for the Shriners Hospitals for Children - Tampa which is our main goal. I was just informed that Daughters of the Nile has given 60 million dollars to support the hospitals. We meet the first Thursday of each month (except June, July and August). Session begins at 11:00 a.m. with coffee and rolls beforehand. Come join us. Just ask for a petition.

As this is my final “Reporter” article, it’s both a sad but happy moment. We had a great year. I am so thankful for all of you that helped and supported the Ladies of the Oriental Shrine. I have been very blessed to have been able to travel up the line. When I was told to enjoy each day, it didn’t really make sense. Over these last eight years, I have learned a lot, met a lot of new lady Shriners and became closer to the ones I already knew. Time went very fast and especially this last year.

My special project with the luggage has been great and I will continue, as there are several organizations that can use luggage. To my executive board, my what a wonderful group! You have all worked very hard and the results sure showed.

This last year with the parades, sewing groups, circus, Grand’s visit, our Christmas in July, our Christmas Party, the Fashion Show, the toy drive, and our visits to the Shriners Hospitals for Children – Tampa, along with the events that

our units hosted, we indeed stayed very busy.Let’s not forget our Unit Meet and our Grand

Council. In November of 2017, our Court will be hosting the Unit Meet. Watch for more information as the months roll on.

We welcomed in new ladies and lost several of our dear sisters and friends. They will be greatly missed. You ladies out there, if you want to work for our hospital children, we would love a chance to speak to you regarding joining the Ladies of the Oriental Shrine of North America.

Here is a great big wish to our incoming executive board - good luck and this is truly a great Court! What a great and talented bunch of ladies to work with. I thank each one of you, I will never forget my year as High Priestess. You ladies never let me down, when our membership team needed volunteers to fill in, you were there, I never had to ask you to volunteer. Let’s not forget our Culinary Group with Lady Jennie Crawford, PGHP, leading the group. A good job well done. See you at the Shrine.

Ill. Sir Bill Balkwill, Supreme Queen Cathy Carol Roseand Queen Deanie Jacobi.

vegetable. The salad as entrée is twin salad plate consisting of chicken and tuna salad atop a bed of greens, garnished with tomato, hardboiled egg and cucumber. Dessert is fruited bread pudding with hard sauce. Our guest speaker at the March 3rd meeting will be Don Hermey, Chief Emergency Management of Manatee County. He will present a talk about hurricane preparedness in Manatee County.

Upcoming socials include a tour of the Sarasota National Cemetery in February, a Marina Jacks cruise in March, a Tampa Bay Port cruise and/or a visit to the Florida Aquarium with a Dolphin cruise in September. If any of these socials are of interest, you might want to join us as a guest or become a member and enjoy all the activities planned for the Manatee Shrine Club. Contact either President Russell Sexton at [email protected] or (941) 773-7280 or 1st Vice President Marty Jordan at (941) 981-2687 or [email protected]. for how to join in on the fun.

A big thank you to Palmetto pickers, Fred Rollins and David Schade, who ride their bikes to scour the town to pick up cans and have many people saving cans for them, including a few business places. Tab snapper helpers include Larry and Carol Robinett and Audrey Fedeles, with neighbors dropping in to help (Darlene Eggler, Mary Ann Miller and Judy Blackwood). They give the tabs to Noble Ed Cramer to turn in to the Shrine. They have been averaging about five pounds of tabs a week in a full gallon-sized zip lock bag.

Sahib Motor Corps members were the cooks for Thursday and Friday nights.

Hopefully, most of you reading this article, attended the Motor Corps Spaghetti Dinner on Sunday, February 19. Our members had a great time preparing the food and we hope you had a great time eating it. We’ll have all the details to report next month. If you missed the February dinner, the Motor Corps will be back in November with another Spaghetti Dinner.

That pretty much brings you up-to-date on recent Motor Corps happenings, but we have other events on the horizon. The first of these will occur on Thursday, March 9 when we will be escorting Imperial Potentate Chris L. Smith and his First Lady Ethel to Sahib Shriners for the Thursday luncheon. We anticipate a nice turnout of bikes for this event.

The 9th annual Sam Swope Memorial Charity Ride, “We Ride So Kids Can Walk” is scheduled for the second weekend in March. This year’s ride will begin in Daytona Beach and end in Sanford. Several of our members will be headed over to Orlando to participate in the weekend events and the ride on Sunday, March 12. Sam Swope had been a great supporter of Masonic organizations and charities, including Shriners Hospitals for Children. Last year, more than 1,000 motorcyclists took to the road for a scenic 52-mile route from Bahia Shriners to the Seminole Harley-Davidson dealership in Sanford.

The annual Arcadia Rodeo Parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 11. We expect to participate. Kickstands up at Sahib Shriners at 9:00 a.m. and parade scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m.

We have five members and their ladies with birthdays in March. They are Bob Hammer (Hammertime) on the 1st, Lady Amanda Cyphers on the 2nd, Lady Kelly deStefano on the 15th, Barry Hart (Policyman) on the 28th and Lady Jean Ragsdale on the 29th. No anniversaries this month.

the Sahara Restaurant, please call for reservations at 366-4449 extension 311 at least 24 hours in advance if possible, if not, please call early the day in which you plan to be in the Sahara. This will give the kitchen staff the knowledge of what and how much to prepare on that date. They attempt to have fresh meals prepared for your enjoyment and when reservations are not made, the kitchen is only guessing on how much or for how many to prepare for. Not having reservations is and continues to be a problem with shortages of food items which puts the manager and his staff in a precarious position of explaining the situation.

Please, remember Wednesday and Friday are the only nights that our Sahara Restaurant is open for dinners in which it can produce income. Thursday is the Hillbilly Dinner which is a fundraiser for the Hillbilly Shrine Club and not for the Sahib’s Sahara Restaurant and Lounge. Don’t forget that lunch is served in the restaurant on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so if you are out and about come by for lunch, there are always great specials made for your pleasure and don’t forget the lounge’s daily happy hour.

The year continues and the “FireBall Express” continues rolling. Get on board as fun is happening for all. Don’t forget the child within and I’ll see you around Sahib.

Call: Marylou Ellis (941) 484-0089 or Chickie Johnson (941) 966-2678

Help us collect TABS! It’s easy and it’s fun!Put out a milk jug at every picnic or party!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on PULL TABS

1. Why not collect the whole can? Collecting complete cans would require a great deal more storage space. You should go ahead and recycle the rest of the can in the normal way, in the dumpster behind Sahib.

2. How many tabs in a pound? 1,267.3. How many tabs will a gallon milk jug hold? About 5 pounds

worth.4. How does it work and where does the money go? The tabs are

delivered to the Sahib office (or almost any Sahib club/unit loca-tion) and then taken to the recycling center. The money netted from recycling goes directly into the “Wheel Chair Repair Fund” at the Tampa Shriners Hospital for Children.
