Nobles, Ladies and Family of El Jebel Shrine:

Wow! When the past potentate’s say “your year will go

by fast” they weren’t kidding. The last 8 months have re-

ally flown by. Lady Lisa and I have had a whirl wind ex-

perience participating with all the units. Fun seems to be

the common thread.

The Wheat Ridge Parade was very well attended by all

the units and Shrine family. On a sad note “Long John” is

having a transmission issue and might be down for the

rest of the season. On a good note “Boris” is up and run-

ning along with Phred to help get those parade people

hauled around! Thank you to all those who helped get

Boris back up and running!

El Jebel had a “Short Form” ceremonial this last month

and welcomed in 2 new Nobles! Welcome aboard Bill

O’Brien and Chris Heiskell! Have fun and get involved!

The Ceremonial Divan cast did a great job under the guid-

ance of Director Ron Birely. Please keep in mind that on

November 16th at the Consistory we will be having a full

Ceremonial (Details and Flyer to be out soon). Get those

Petitions in and let’s keep the good times rolling ahead!

El Jebel was well attended this year at CSSA and I’m

proud to say once again “Award Winning”. The Dune

Buggy Patrol and Motor Corps came home with trophy’s

this year! Someone please help Steve Hubbard to steer his

Fire Truck! (see photo pg 3( Seems he can’t, do to the big

grin he has on his face from winning a trophy! Congratu-

lations!

Coming up we have “Call Out” Arvada parade on Sept.

7th. Join in on the fun that is Parading!

Plan on attending the Stated meeting on Sept. 9th (see no-

tice). There will be a “State of El Jebel” report (You have

questions? We have answers!). There is also a Ladies pro-

gram that night! Jewelry! Need I say more ladies? Didn’t

think so.

El Jebel has another opportunity to sell DVD’s at a Con-

cert at “Fiddlers Green”(details to follow as we don’t have

exact dates and time yet). A “Media blast” will go out as

soon as we have the correct information and “Help” will

be needed once again to raise money for the Hospitals.

The Ladies Luncheon is on Sept. 28th at Highlands

Lodge. See the flyer on page 6 in this month’s Red Fez.

This year’s planning team has really pulled out all the

stops for our ladies.

The Oktoberfest is on Oct. 5th at the Consistory and

promises to be yet another “Great time”. These Joint

events really do build relationships that bridge our

“Brotherhood”. Please plan to attend.

The “Walk of Love” in Salt Lake City is on Sept. 21st.

El Jebel has a lot of its nobility attending and dare I say

“Leading by Example”. This is going the extra mile for

the Hospitals!

There is still time to help out with Raffle Ticket sales!

Remember this is our big fundraiser for the year and we

really do need your support on this. Chief Rabban Joe

Kent and his second to none crew are working very hard

to make this Raffle a success! We can always use more

help Selling / Buying or organizing. Please see dates for

selling listed in the FEZ. Many hands make light work

and we could really use some help. Less than 60 days

left!

We have a new Leasing company at the Shrine building.

They are very enthusiastic and have been very good to

deal with on our end (Thank you Building Trustees for

your hard work). Please keep in mind if you know of

companies who may be interested, have them contact the

office right away 303-455-3470. We need to maintain and

keep all our spaces rented and with your help we will suc-

ceed.

Thanks for “ALL” you do!

AUTUMN IS ALMOST HERE

ARE YOU READY AND PREPARED?

YOUR TEMPLE IS

Well our summer is over and we had a very pro-

ductive one for El Jebel. Think back on the events,

parties, parades, picnics, and gatherings we all en-

joyed and then never forget the fun that you had as

an active member of the El Jebel Shriners. There

were far too many to recall here, but I am sure you

that participated has the fondness of memories.

Yet, in just a few days from receiving this article,

our monthly meetings will begin again. I hope to see

you all on Monday, 9 September for our Stated

Meeting starting with dinner at 6:00 pm and the

meeting at 7:00 pm. Fun and camaraderie will con-

tinue for all members and their families. Come and

hear what is planned for the rest of the year, what

your Board-of-Directors and Divan have been doing

throughout their summer meetings preparing for a

fantastic El Jebel future. You may now be thinking

well what are the things planned, what will be our El

Jebel future? Come to our meeting, come to our

event, come to the Temple and you will find out. To

enjoy what our Temple has to offer you, your spouse

and family need to need to be active and come to the

monthly meetings to learn about the events planned

for you. Hear and learn the details about meetings,

parades, parties, Unit and Club activities and the as-

sociated myriad of social and personal lifetime con-

tacts you will make, have made that will last a life-

time.

We have two new Shriners who have joined our

Temple in August, Nobles Christopher (Chris)

Heiskell and William (Bill) O’Brien. When you

come the September dinner and meeting, look for

Chris and Bill and welcome them. They will be the

ones you see with big smiles on their faces. Each

Unit/Club president and members should tell them

about your particular niche and what they will have-

fun doing in your group. Let’s never forget that the

Units and Clubs are the mainstay of fun in the

Shrine. These brothers want to be active. Let them

know they are needed and welcome to join you.

As you have heard so many times, remember

to adopt the mantra, Be an Active Member. You and

your family can participate in all the El Jebel events

and have fun. We are a community of brothers and

families ready, willing and able to share our lives

with all Shriners everywhere.

See you on the 9th!

There was a friend whose heart was good

He walked with men and understood

His was a voice that spoke with cheer, And felt like music on the ear

His was a smile men loved to see; His was a hand that asked no fee for friendli-ness or kindness done. And now that he

has journeyed on, His is a fame that nev-er ends, He leaves behind uncounted

friends

Sandblasters of El Jebel

By Claude Akridge

Sixteen Sandblasters were present at our lunch and

business meeting on the 31st of July at the Golden Corral

Restaurant located at W. Hampden Ave. and South Santa

Fe Dr. The meeting was called to order promptly at 12:00

PM by Vice-President Larry Bangert, President Carl and

Margaret were out of town on family business and not

able to attend. PP Ron Cosens led us in the pledge to our

flag

and Larry led the prayer.

Golf Manager Jim Teagarden gave a report on the past

and future golf outings and was pleased at the past turn

out of the members and also pleased with the number

signed up for the Thorn Creek outing. One outing for

Sept will be at Broken T Golf Course on the 5th. Please

contact Jim at jimforrestteagarden@gmail.com if you are

interested in playing and details.

Larry gave a report on the golf trip and train ride the

Sandblasters and guests went on down in southern Colo-

rado. Many of the members that went on the trip told of

the great time that they had and that President Carl and

Margaret did a great job planning it. All said they would

like to have it again next year.

There were some health problems in the club last

month. Secretary/ Treasurer Dan Kamunen told us about

the heart condition he experienced and the successful

procedure he went through and all is fine with Big Dan

now. I talked to him yesterday and he had just finished

playing golf. Jerry Davis had some ear problem and had

treatment and is recovering nicely. Also, Jerry Human

had a bout with pneumonia and has recovered. Happy all

is well again!!!

Vice-President Larry says the Sandblaster table at the

Raffle for this year has not been completed yet and the

Appreciation party is scheduled for the last week in Sep-

tember and the members will be notified. Larry, you did

a fine job running the meeting in President Carl’s absence

and will make a good President next year.

Please know you are always welcome to visit us for

lunch and meeting the last Wednesday of the month at

the Golden Corral.

We are hoping to initiate several new members at our

new princesses becoming involved in our Units and Tem-

ple activities.

September 19th-22nd will find our Queen Brenda and

several members of our Temple, along with many Nobles

of El Jebel, in Salt Lake City, UT for the Walk for Love

in support of the Shriners Hospitals for Children®. This is

always such a fun time, particularly with the children par-

ticipating in a lot of the activities. It’s always such a lift to

see all of the good things that are happening at that hospi-

tal.

Pipe Band

By Kent Burns

Summer is just about over. For the Band, summer will

be over after our annual pilgrimage to Estes Park the

weekend after Labor Day. We have been going to the

Longs Peak Scottish/Irish Highland Festival for way over

40 years. We have been the “duty band” for most of that

time. “Duty band” is a nice way of saying we do every-

thing but compete. The various clans that participate in

the games march in the parade on Saturday, parade

around the field at the opening ceremonies (the so-called

“massed bands” at noon on both Saturday and Sunday),

and show up for the closing ceremonies (or “last post”

that closes the games on both days). Other than that,

they are pretty much relegated to either a pair of large

tents and/or several smaller ones off in a corner wherein

they display their clan tartans, insignia, histories, etc. At

one time they were fairly busy with people interested in

the different clans, with questions and even inquiries

about joining. But as the games have gradually gotten

away from attracting those kinds of spectators, the ones

manning these tents get lonely and bored. So we are

tasked with breaking the monotony by playing through

their tents and bringing them a bit of the games they

would otherwise miss.

We also play for the Sunday “kirkin’ o’ the tartan” – a

blessing of the tartans that has a basis in Scottish history,

although it is an American institution started by Rev. Pe-

ter Marshall, a Scot who came to America to enter semi-

nary and who later became chaplain of the US Senate.

He is the subject of the book, and later Oscar-nominated

movie, both entitled A Man Called Peter. When the Eng-

lish defeated Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Scots at the

Battle of Culloden (near Inverness) in April 1746 (which

basically ended the Jacobite uprising), they forbade wear-

ing of the tartan, playing the pipes, and carrying weap-

ons, among other things. Thereafter in Scotland, the

Highlanders would go to church and the officiant would

bless scraps of tartan usually secreted in the clothing of

the congregation. Rev. Marshall was also pastor of the

New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington,

DC and, as such, started the “kirkin’,” or blessing, of the

tartan (and hence, clans) here in the states. Members of

the congregation would bring swatches of tartan, fly

plaids, or anything with the clan’s distinguishing colors

and design denoting the tartan and the clan. These were

presented to Rev. Marshall and he would bless these

pieces of fabric and, through them, the clans.

While time and tide has taken its toll on the Band such

that we will not be marching in the parade, we will none-

theless be busy the entire weekend. It is, after all, Estes

and, as such, represents all that is Celtic here in Colora-

do. It is the largest games between Pleasanton, CA and

Grandfather Mountain, GA and has a history that runs

deep for all kilt-wearers in Colorado. If you have noth-

ing better to do, come on up and enjoy the beautiful Col-

orado scenery and hear the skirl of the pipes.

In November, the Band will be playing for Queen An-

nette Stewart at Highlands Temple for her High Tea; in

concert with the Rocky Mountain Brassworks at the

Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Pkwy, Lake-

wood, CO on Sunday, 10 November at 1900; and at the

Veterans Day stated meeting on 11 November. (We will

be presenting a little bit of history at this as well.) So if

anyone is interested in all this fun and performance, and

at the same time enjoying the camaraderie of our Band,

we are looking for a few good men. So come on down

almost any Thursday evening at the Shrine at 1900 (or

7:00pm for the uninitiated) for the fun!

VIP’S

By Wayne Covert

Doesn’t seem possible that summer is coming to an end.

The parade season is all but gone we have the Arvada

parade on September 7 please watch for the information

that comes out in a Fez .

The black camel has taken one of ours, Kenny Viberg

our parade captain of the Vintage Iron Patrol passed.

Please keep Jeannie and the family in your prayers. Ken-

ny has been very active in our club; his quick wit and fun-

ny stories kept everyone laughing. He will be missed very

much.

Vivian and myself will be hosting the September lunch-

eon, I will be contacting members for the time and place.

Get out and sell those sportsmen's raffle tickets we need

to meet our goal for the operation fund. This is a very

important fund raiser for the our Shrine. You’re the key!

Remember we’re all masons first, keep it on the Square

and on the level.

DUNE BUGGY PATROL

By Jay Bobick

The August Dune Buggy Patrol Meeting was

unique as the usual opening dinner was held at Hacienda

Colorado Restaurant, but the meeting was held at Sensory

Park. Our President, Ron Williamson, is great at creating

new ideas; new venues and we do all appreciate his inge-

nuity displayed throughout the year. Ten members at-

tended the meeting.

President Ron reported on a potential new mem-

ber who is interested in purchasing a buggy; but he is not

a Mason. The decision was made to not sell him a buggy

until he becomes a Mason and Shriner, joining the El Jeb-

el Temple. The objective is to have all our buggies re-

main keep the in the Dune Buggy Patrol. It was suggest-

ed that we should tell prospects we only have one buggy

for sale. This will encourage prospects to buy it now and

become a member before it is gone. Speaking of new

members also brought up a recommendation that was

approved to help Dune Buggy prospects become mem-

bers by paying for their first Dune Buggy social event.

Those who attended the Buffalo Bill Parade in

Golden, the Wheat Ridge Parade and picnic following at

Highlands including all those that helped with the picnic

had a great time not only with the Dune Buggy folks but

with the El Jebel Shriners as a whole. The Christmas in

July at Gold Hill Inn was another great time even if there

was a torrential rainstorm. Why? Because the rain

stopped before we had finished a wonderful dinner and

social event planned by our President and First Lady

Robyn.

A question arose as to if Imperial keeps track of

calls to their phone number concerning what prompted

them to call and if such could be tied to the materials

passed out by the ladies at parades. The possibility of

such is highly suspect but a simple check with the Impe-

rial staff could provide a useful answer. Another thought

was regarding speeding up the process for a prospect to

become a Mason and ultimately a Shriner. This is diffi-

cult, as each Blue Lodge must follow the Colorado Grand

Lodge rules for Masonic membership as well as follow-

ing Shrine Law. This is an age-old issue, new members.

Everyone is a member of all membership committees in

every Masonic Body.

On Sunday, 18 August the Dune Buggy Picnic

was held at Don and Connie’s cabin above Evergreen.

All attending enjoyed brats, hamburgers, Pepsi, Diet

Coke, and of course beer. This was a potluck no one

should have missed. A beautiful day, an adventurous

drive, a marvelous setting and most of all a great time

with friends and family. It looks like this will be

an annual event. Let’s hope so.

Congratulations to all who attended the CSSA.

The Dune Buggy patrol won two trophies, a first and sec-

ond place. A big thanks to Don Weiser for his dogged

pursuit in assuring the El Jebel Dune Buggy Patrol is for-

ever an integral part of the annual CSSA competitions

and parades.

Buggiers (is that a word?) don’t forget our up-

coming events to which we all should be a part:

The Arvada Parade is Saturday, 7 September.

This is a call-out parade and we will wear our flag shirts.

Those with tow vehicles are welcome to leave them at

Williamson’s prior to the parade. Following the parade

Williamson’s will be hosting a potluck picnic at their

house at 8638 West 84th Circle, Arvada.

Sportsman’s Raffle, 26 October will be at Doug-

las County Event Center. Remember to sign up to sell

tickets at Cabelas and Bass Pro. Contact Perry Mittler, 2nd

Ceremonial Master to sign up. Don’t forget to include

the sale of DB Raffle tickets for Edward’s Meats.

Next meeting will be Wednesday, 11 September

at Malones Club House Grill, 14455 64th Ave., Arvada,

social, 5:30 pm, dinner, 6:00 pm, meeting, 7:00 pm.

T-Nobles’

By Bobby Juchem

Greetings Nobles and Ladies, grab your favorite cool

beverage sit back and regale yourselves with the tremen-

dous feats of the T-Nobles of El Jebel. Let us begin with

July. On July 4th the T-Nobles drove out to Brush for one

of our favorite parades. Nobles Chris ‘El Presidente’

Weymouth and Jodi Dreher represented the T-Nobles

with their families. The parade was great and wet as al-

ways, on the docket for the next year, armaments in the

form of squirt guns so we can defend ourselves and beat

the heat. Unfortunately, on the trip home Murphy’s Law

was in full effect as Noble Jodi had a catastrophic trailer

fail. However, he was able to limp it into Keenesburg.

Due to the fact that it was the 4th of July Holiday, finding

a flatbed trailer was near impossible. So in quiet despera-

tion your T-Nobles asked the community for assistance

and found a woman who was willing to let the trailer sit

on her property overnight. Her name was Angel and she

was just that. She had three girls and a baby boy and the

look on the kids faces when they pulled the Fire Truck

out of the trailer was priceless. Noble Jodi took two of

the girls for a ride around their backyard and it absolutely

made their day.

On July 13th, the T-Nobles supported the Potentate’s

Summer ‘Cruisin with the Potentate’ Party. Nobles Don

Myers and Chris Weymouth and Lady Karen were in at-

tendance. Noble Chris detailed his Fire Truck to be put

on display with the rest of the Hot Rods.

On July 27th, the T-Nobles were in full array at the Buf-

falo Bill Day’s Parade in Golden. Nobles Chris Wey-

mouth, Don Myers and Ryan Puckett were in the parade

after getting a quick detail of their mighty steeds from

Noble Bobby Juchem. Noble Byron Walker rode in Long

John with Karen Myers and Judy Weymouth, while No-

bles Victor Walker and Paul Stoltman walked in the pa-

rade with Golden City Lodge #1. After the parade the T-

Nobles helped run their Child ID Booth at the Festival

and Noble Paul Stoltman ran the dunk tank. T-Noble

President Chris ‘Nolan Ryan’ Weymouth was able to

dunk Noble Paul with what looked to be a change up, not

too bad for a torn rotator cuff. Word on the street is that

the Colorado Rockies are scouting him as a relief pitcher,

but he keeps saying he doesn’t have the time.

Finally, on August 10th, the T-Nobles were at the Wheat

Ridge Parade. Nobles Chris Weymouth, Bobby Juchem

and Ryan Puckett were in attendance. The parade went

beautifully and we had a wonderful lunch hosted by the

Highland Lodge after the event.

As the parade season is coming to a close, we ask you:

are you getting enough from your Shrine experience? If

not, I offer you this: In life there are many endeavors

where your name on the roll book is just enough to feel

included, but in the Shrine that is not the case. ‘We Ride

so the Children Can Walk’, this is the mantra you see

engraved on the side of our theme trailer every parade.

Your T-Nobles are men and women of different tempera-

ments, talents and convictions, united by the common

purpose of reducing the suffering of others. We are

bound by the ties of friendship and love, if that sounds

good to you, come and join us for a parade. We promise,

you will not regret it.

August meeting of the August Meeting of the

Northeast Colorado Shrine Club Outpost #1 Colorado Consistory

NORTHEAST Colorado Shrine Club

by Jerry Wardrip, Secretary

We started the Morning gathering, like always, with a

great breakfast at Sonnies Overland Trail Café at the

junction of I76 and Colorado Highway 63. Our president,

Noble Cecil Souders called the meeting to order and

offered the prayer followed by the pledge. The minutes

of our previous meeting were reviewed and approved as

printed.

We discussed the 2019 Sportsman Raffle and Jerry let it

be known that he had books of tickets available, and we

needed to get some sold. We always seem to have people

waiting for the Raffle ticket sales to start.

We entered our Masonic float in the Logan County Fair

Parade this year and all had a grand time. The kids and

some of our new Fellow Craft walked and passed out

candy and also American Flags. This year’s theme was

“Stars and Stripes and Summer Nights”

We received a request for The Broomfield DeMolay for

assistance with their “Care Packages for our Military”

project. After some discussion we decided that we would

help out, as we did not have a DeMolay Chapter.

We liked the article in the Red Fez in the “Didja Know”

section. Thanks to Noble Kent Burns for his article

construction skills.

Well as the summer seems to be a slow time and we seem

to have covered all pending business it was now time to

move on to the rest of our day. The President Cecil

Souers closed the meeting at about 7:15 AM with peace

and harmony prevailing.

You all have a standing invitation to come out and meet

with us the second Monday of each month here at the

Overland Trail Café at the Atwood interchange at 6:00

A.M. That is the Sinclair Station at Exit 115 off

I-76. Good food and Great Fellowship.

Englewood Shrine Club

by Don Phelps

The Englewood Shrine Club met at the Eckley’s on Au-

gust 11th for a Crab and Shrimp Boil. They dumped it all

over the table. There were fourteen of us attending. It

was enjoyed by all but one. I was sick and couldn't eat

it. The most important thing that happened was we took

in three new members. The new members are Potentate

Bobby Marner, Chief Rabban Joe Kent, and Chief Aide

Steve Hubbard. Who will be next? If you are interested,

let me know (Don Phelps 303-471-2481). It cost $20 to

join and that pays your dues for 2019.

Dragoman

By Ed Rendon

Friends and Nobles you may not know that the Drago-

man unit is a social unit with friends who enjoy the ex-

changing of conversational thoughts over drinks and din-

ner. It’s quite the social event, so you might want to con-

sider becoming a member. The President just wants to

relate that our unit is alive and going strong with over 35

members at our last gathering. We have just had a social

at the President’s home of Noble Greg Rindone. If you

were not there, you missed a great meal prepared by the

two famous chefs, Illustrious Sir Dennis Proctor and No-

ble Greg Rindone. Each meal was prepared to the exact

taste of each person there. To start off, there were appe-

tizers of different types, and beverages to your liking pre-

pared by a world renowned bartender. Then the steaks

were cooked exactly as ordered and came with a baked

potato, and salad, followed by a delicious pie with a gen-

erous scoop of ice cream. Don’t miss the next Dragoman

social – join now!

Caring Ladies

By Jeanne Thompson

The Caring Ladies of El Jebel invite all widows of

Shriners and Master Masons to join us for lunch on the

second Wednesday of each month. We gather at 11:30 at

the Chalet Restaurant, 7340 West 3rd Ave., Wheat

Ridge. Our meetings are short, but the friendship and

camaraderie are long and sincere. While we are united in

a common sadness, there is joy and laughter around the

table. If you are, or know of a widow who would like to

join us, please call Kay Bell at 303-430-9001 for a reser-

vation. However, if you decide at the last minute to

come, just come on down and we will be glad to pull up

another chair for you. Our members come from all over

the Metropolitan area, so if you need a ride, we can find

someone to bring you.

The Caring Ladies order from the menu. The food is

good and the service is excellent. Our Miss Kitty bank

travels around the table collecting a bit of change from

each of us, and that money is donated to the Shrine Hos-

pital’s Travel Fund to help both patients and their fami-

lies as they are treated at our excellent hospitals. Our

dues are $10.00 per year, so it is not expensive to join

us. Please come and you will be happy you did, and we

will be more than happy to welcome you.

MEMORIUM TO “MOM”

Shirley Mae “MOM” Dietrick was once again

joined with the love of her life Duward Dietrick on Au-

gust 10, 2019 at 12.47 PM.

Shirley was joined by eight of her friends and

adopted family at Steamboat Springs where she was dis-

tributed at the same spot where Duward was laid to rest.

Her neighbors Frank and Roseland Oschmann,

along with Jim and Annette Stewart and several others

represented her Shrine and Masonic family as she joined

Duward forever.

Of significant note was once Shirley’s remains

were distributed two snow white cranes rose up from the

grass and circled the place of their interment. I would like

to believe that it was Duward’s and Shirley’s spirits re-

joined in their love for one another.
