As I sit to write one of my last articles, I reect on how fast this entire year has gone by. Tammy and I again enjoyed the Yoshi Shrine Club annual meeting in Wisconsin Dells with our children and grandchildren. This weekend was especially nice for us this year, as the miles and events took us away from our family so many times. As we sat and enjoyed Yoshi this year, we noticed how the club has grown over the last few years, and more members are bringing grandchildren. At times with everyone in the same room, it is loud and chaotic but so much fun. The kids enjoy the water parks and slides, and I enjoy the smiles on everyone’s faces as they have fun. Thank you to Past Potentate Barry Ausen for bringing this idea to Zor.November brought us two Feztival of Trees and what a beautiful show these are. The clubs do a wonderful job of setting these up and involving the community.As we come to the end of 2024, I want to thank the Divan, support staff, committee members, and ofce staff for all their hard work this year. Without all of you, 2024 would not have been so successful and fun for me. I especially want to thank Gioia for joining us this year as Zor’s Patient Ambassador. She has made the whole year extraordinarily fun and entertaining. She and her entire family are wonderful people, and I am grateful her parents allowed her to do this for Zor. Just a quick reminder, annual membership dues are due. The Shrine is one of the most fun fraternities you can belong to. If you haven’t yet paid your dues please don’t hesitate, we strive for a strong membership and want you to be part of it.Til next month,CARROT ON! $11,000

Anita, 14, got a random swollen foot on Christmas Day. Emergency room doctors determined her body was actually shutting down due to a combination of strep A and u B in her bloodstream. She almost died multiple times. The treatment to save her life meant she lost both lower legs. She came to Shriners Children’s Chicago for intensive inpatient rehabilitation, also unable to move her arms either. Three months later she has her sparkle back and walks with custom skull design prosthetics from our POPS department.

Page 14 Zor Zephyr Magazine • www.zorshriners.comHonored Ladies Luncheon (the Bee’s Knee’s) By: Noble Brad AndrewBUZZ,BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZBUZZ getting the BUZZBUZZ on bees! On October 22nd, an Honored Lady’s Luncheon was about to BEE-gin at Rex’s Innkeeper Supper Club in Waunakee. Debbi Thorstad hosted a wonderful lunch and program for many to enjoy. Along with Karen Owens, Co-Chair for the afternoon, we also had Tammy Keller helping with the program. I was told that the name has been changed for the Ladies. It was originally called “The Widow’s Luncheon” and now called the Zor Honored Ladies Luncheon. Sometimes change is better. Debbi stood up and welcomed all that attended. She gave a short brieng on what was about to happen and handed it over to our hard-working Potentate, Roger Keller. But wait! Roger was looking all around the room. What was he looking for? Karl!! He was not there yet. The show must go on. Roger, knowing that Karl would hopefully show up, continued with the program. After the introductions of the Honored Ladies, and the Past Potentates Ladies, Karl walked into the room. Not sparing a minute. Just in time to make the Prayer before lunch. He chose a Prayer that was a 5-year-old prayer that he liked. It was about a “Biscuit”. Ask him about that one when you get a chance. Lunch was ready to BEE-gin. What a wonderful family style lunch we had. No reason to walk out hungry. The afternoon continued with the introduction of Jeanne Hansen. She is the founding President of the Dane County Beekeepers. BEE afraid, BEE very afraid of Bee’s. That’s what we were told back in the days. They sting and that could Bee bad for some. When we saw a bee, we wanted to swat it or kill it. It was a natural thing to do for what it did to us. It STUNG us. That little Sh*t is going to sting me and it’s going to hurt for a long time. Wait, read on a see what happens. Jeanne Hansen, after being introduced to all in the room, began talking about the many years of working with, and beehives she had. She started back in 2009 and had 12 hives. Today she is only working with 3 hives as a member on the east side of Madison. As my neighbor has bee hives in her yard, I got heavily involved in what she had to say. Listening to everything she had to say about the bees. I wanted to know what my neighbor went through. Being over at her house and wondering if I was going to get stung. I was going to learn something this afternoon. As a rewarding hobby taking care of the bees, she works all year round with them. As she talks about the bees, she passed around many different pictures of bees, bee hives, honeycombs, and so many other interesting things about bees, I think none of us knew the rst thing about bees is they have one thing on their mind and that’s about making honey. Not sting you or anyone else. If a bee stings you, it will die. I’m pretty sure they don’t want that. The only time a bee will sting you is if you mess with the hive, try to swat it or mess with the Queen Bee. Things not to do around bees, do not wear bright clothing, they might think you are a ower. That is why you see beekeepers in white and Bees don’t like carbon monoxide. A couple of things to do to keep bees away from you is to walk in the shade, no bright clothes, and no perfume. She went on about the different types of bees and the types of honey

Page 15

Page 15December 2024 • Zor Zephyr Magazinethey make. Different tasting honey depends on the owers they collect nectar from. Honey is the one thing that does not spoil, it lasts forever. You may see honey with a settled bottom to it. Just put in some hot water and let it soften up. Mix it up and it’s ready to go. We were informed there are three types of bees. The big Drones, (which apparently don’t sting), they are all males. The Workers. (Which are the smallest), they do sting!! And the Queen Bee, the ruler of all!! She is the biggest of all and the only one that lays eggs. The Drone bees take care of the Queen all the time. She talked about how the bees talk to each other. Overall, all bees play an important part in the hive. The bees will do a circle dance and wiggle their butts. This tells the other bees where to nd the nectar. The hive never sleeps. It is always on the go. The temperature in the hive can reach up to 92 degrees. When winter comes around, the hive has saved up enough honey to make it through the winter. They all stay close together to stay warm. Back in the days, only 10 pounds of honey was used at one point. Now we are pushing out 40 pounds. For the beekeepers that must retrieve the honey, they hit the hive with smoke that puts the bees in a calm state of mind. A high for the bees. Farmers enjoy the bees, because they pollinate their crops. Mice of all things were a hindrance to the bee population at one time. After seeing the importance that bees were, people started to leave them alone. The cities were good for them, the gardens and big groups of farmlands. All places had some kind of “food” for the bees to take home and make honey from. Just a note from the Queen Bee, the rst set of bees came over from Europe. As the speech was going on, 3 different types of honey were passed around. A bunch of pictures showing different bees, hives and honey were passed around. It was nally time for the Queen Bee to y home to her busy bees. Before she left, she handed out a single piece of honey candy. I hope all enjoyed that. A big round of applause was given to her in a well informative presentation. The next part was to recognize all Honored Ladies, Past Potentates and their Ladies. Lady Tammy Keller made all the closing remarks. Before all left, a gift bag was handed out to all Honored Ladies. One of the center pieces was given out to the person whose birthday was in May. Each person at a table was able to pick out one handmade ower from a vase that was in the middle of the table. A rose was given to the Honored Ladies. That ended a very special and well-organized program, a big thank you to Lady Debbi Thorstad, and well done to all that worked so hard to make this work out!! A big shout out to Olivia Johnson (Debbi’s granddaughter) for making the center pieces on the tables. She is working two jobs and going to school and yet did a wonderful job!! Also, A big hand for Mary LaBlanc for donating the decorations supplies. We cannot forget Michael Johnson for donating the Mason jars that held the owers perfectly on the tables. Once again, a wonderful job by AL L !!

YES, that means it is time for the annual “Clown Potentate Party” to be held once again at the Esquire Club on Sherman Ave. in Madison.

You do not have to be a clown, but this will give you a reason to act like one if you wish. Remember, EVERYONE is a clown, some of us just dress the part. We will have a great family style meal, so if you don’t get enough to eat it is your own fault. The price this year is $29.00 per person and reservations can be made by sending the form to: Dale Holmen, 13 St. Albans Ave., Madison, Wi. 53714 by February 2, 2025.The evening will begin with social time and checking out the different items in the bag drawing. A reminder: ALL proceeds will be sent to the Shrine Red Sneaker Fund which supports burn research at our Shrine Burn Hospitals. This is always a great fundraiser for the Red Sneaker Fund. While that is going on, the true entertainment is bringing the new Potentate front and center so he can show us his true colors as he becomes our newest clown.This has been a fun tradition for the Madison Clowns over the years and we ask that all past potentates bring their picture from their year, so that we can display them. It is always fun to see how much some of them have changed and in some cases, how much they still look like a clown.Make your plans to attend and see the CHANGES UNDER THE BIG TOP in February and we will see you under the BIG TOP!Changes Under the Big TopESQUIRE CLUB 1025 N SHERMAN AVE, MADISON, WIFebruary 15, 2025NAME _____________________________________________________________________Number Attending ______ X $29/person = $__________ Unit ___________________Checks made out to Zor Clowns.Mail to: Dale Holmen, 13 St. Albans Ave, Madison, WI 53714 RESERVATIONS DUE BY FEBRUARY 2, 2025

Zor’s response to this need is vitally important to our brothers in those states and satises the high calling and obligation that each of us has to respond with fraternal charity. by: Noble Ron ChamberlainAre you an outdoor enthusiast looking for camaraderie and philanthropy? Are you into hunting that big buck or traveling to get into some good upland bird hunting? Maybe you like to sh for that notorious “sh of 1,000 casts,” the musky. Or are you one of those folks who enjoy camping, hiking, or just biking the trails? Perhaps those activities are a bit too slow for you and you prefer the adrenaline rush of an ATV, jet ski, or snowmobile. Or maybe you would be interested in family fun days, enjoying these activities with other Shrine families.It really doesn’t matter what your outdoor avor is—if you want to have an opportunity to do those activities while still enjoying the fun and fellowship of the Shrine, then the Zor Outdoorsmen club is for you.

Page 21December 2024 • Zor Zephyr MagazineGIOIA SCHUTTE UPDATEHello Shriners!! Christmas time is hereeee!!It’s almost Christmas!! Even though I don’t like the cold or the snow, I love the Christmas season and the time off from school. When we get our two weeks off, it is time to relax and hang out with my friends, we already have plans!!I don’t have a lot of new updates; life is still pretty much the same as it was a month ago.Weight room is going well. I’ve been going three days a week and loving it!! I also have made a volleyball team!! I made the 16 4’s and the season is starting up. I can’t wait for another great year of club!! It will be busy though, when track season starts up again. Work is still busy!! They have been putting me on drive-through for longer shifts now, so some days I come home, and I don’t want to talk after using my voice all day.I have attended a few of the Shriner events at the end of October and November, but also my time for hanging out with y’all is coming to an end. The fun part is, I’ll get to see Roger eat carrot cake at the end of the year, but I’m hoping that he’ll have to eat a carrot too. It’s sort of payback for him dumping salad all over my plate at most of the dinners. School is going great!! I have a few big papers that are due soon and I’m hoping that I will get a good grade on them!! Not only do I have papers due, but I also have our nals of the rst semester coming up. We just took our midterm for math in November, and it was not hard, but not easy. I’m hoping that the nal will go smoother, as well as all my other subjects!! I have also decided that I will be helping with our school’s musical, in the costumes department. I helped with last year’s musical, Elf, which took place in the wintertime because it is a Christmas musical, unlike this year, which is in the spring. I decided not to do costumes for the play because I wanted to get a handle on sophomore year rst and I also have a study hall next semester. That’s all for December folks!! Sadly, since my time as Patient Ambassador is ending, I won’t be putting lots of updates in the articles, but you will still be hearing from me!!-Gioia

Potentate Rodney has asked that the “Knickerbocker Degree” be presented. This is something new to Zorland!The play is very short and will be presented just before the tradional Shrine Ritual on Saturday May 14th in Mauston. There are seven (7) speaking parts as well as some extras. NO part is very long and we can have some fun with this degree. It follows the beginning of the Shrine and then the hospital system and its eects on our community as well as the image of the Shrine.For those interested, I will be able to send you a copy of the script along with a presentaon video. The video will be for just those truly interested in being cast. I would like to set a meeng at least for a run through. This would be at some central locaon yet to be determined.I do believe this will be something that we can have some real fun with and sll present some history for those just coming into the Shrine. Also, it’s great when we engage the whole family and they learn what we are all about.I look forward to hearing of your interest.Please contact me with your interest or quesons.

Paents may need to wear a back brace as part of their recovery, which will be custom-made for them in our orthocs department. In rare situaons, if a vertebra is severely out of alignment or if a child remains in pain aer other forms of treatment, spinal fusion surgery may be needed from one of our skilled, experienced physicians.RehabilitaonOur team of physical and occupaonal therapists are highly trained in addressing a multude of dierent diagnoses. With regard to non-operave and post-operave management of injuries, we are able to tailor our treatment strategies to the paent and their needs–whether it be using crutches to get around at school or progressing back to playing a high-level sport.We use the most current evidenced-based pracce when ulizing modalies and strengthening techniques following injury or surgery and work closely with the medical providers to make sure the paent is making progress and meeng their goals as expected.Specializing in treang pediatrics also gives us a clear lens of how treang a young athlete diers from treang a high school athlete and the importance of using high-level training when appropriate. Our therapists have addional experience treang athletes who may use a wheelchair to play basketball, a sled to play hockey or a prosthesis to go snowboarding. It is crucial to consider all aspects of an athlete’s life and not just their performance on the court or the ice, but how their rehab will aect their ability to engage in their everyday acviesIn conclusionUnfortunately, it is impossible to eradicate all risks our Minnesota winters or winter sports pose. However, ensuring proper protecon during sports is one way to reduce the risk of injury to athletes. Wearing a helmet to ski or snowboard or full pads to play a hockey game is important to provide the maximum protecon to our athletes. Wearing good winter are and using a broad-based stance to walk on the ice and snow can help to reduce the risks of falls when out and about on slippery sidewalks and driveways.Shriners Children’s is one of the world’s greatest philanthropies and has evolved into an internaonal health care system for children, able to treat many health care issues including orthopedic condions, spinal cord injuries, burns and cle lip and palate. All children receive care regardless of the families’ ability to pay. Our centers vary regionally in terms of the range of condions they treat.Shriners Children’s Twin Cies is a specialty clinic focused on the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric orthopedic impairments and injuries. Inially we served a six-state region providing care for some of the most dicult congenital deformity cases, such as children born with their feet facing the wrong way. Some of our paents required over a dozen major surgeries before they were 18. As me went on, we have expanded the range of services we oer to include common injuries. We recently relocated to a new facility in Woodbury where, under one roof, we have a skilled and knowledgeable medical team consisng of orthopedic surgeons and physician assistants, physical and occupaonal therapists, prosthec and orthoc providers, radiology technicians, child life specialists and licensed social workers. This collaborave approach allows us to treat a wide spectrum of paents with diagnoses ranging from cerebral palsy to ankle sprains. Please think of us as a resource and partner when you have paents who may benet from these services and skills.Allyce Fisk, PA-C, MMS, is an orthopedic physician assistant at Shriners Children’s in Woodbury.Rebecca Rouse, PT, DPT, is a physical therapist at Shriners Children’s in Woodbury.Connued on next pageConnued from previous page+-!('-SVVYPUN33*0 DUDWKRQ)ORRULQJQHW3LQH6W_0DUDWKRQ:,2L]PU:VYLUZVU5(6,'(17,$/&200(5&,$/Comstock Tire2413 S.

Or shall I say our international conference. It was certainly a site to see over 2500 people in attendance, with almost 1000 voting delegates. To hear all the reports from every committee sharing where they were, what they were doing and how they raised funds was certainly inspiring. Our Most Worthy Grand Matron and Most Worthy Grand Patron instituted new jurisdictions in other countries during their triennium. Wisconsin raised slightly under 400,000.00 for OES Charities! Our newly installed Most Worthy Grand Matron is Billie Bradeld, a Past Grand Matron from Arizona and our Most Worthy Grand Patron, Michael Berry is a Past Grand Patron from Kentucky. They have awesome plans for Eastern Star. At the conference, some things were voted on that can make Eastern Star grow. A woman can now join without a direct Masonic relative, but she must have a letter of recommendation from both a sister and a brother. There were lots of other changes as well, including an optional way to perform the ceremony of Installation. This would make the ceremony shorter and have other benets too. Wisconsin is proud to have 8 Past Grand Matrons or Past Grand Patrons serving as a General Grand Chapter Committee Member:• Jane Blackwood, Alzheimer’s• Ian Watts, By-Laws• Joanne Frieman, Disaster Relief• Laurie Budwick, Community Service• Laramie Reissner, Credentials• Terri Hundhausen, Heart • Brenda Gaulke, Co-Chair, Historical Landmarks International Peace Garden Chapel• Tammy Hundhausen, YouthThe 52nd Triennium will be held in Phoenix, Arizona August 27 – September 3, 2027. If you would like to know more about the Order, just ask. Thank you to our Illustrious Sir, Roger Keller for asking me to write this series of articles about Eastern Star for you. As I stated above, if you ever want to know more or join or need a petition…. just ask.Star Love, Brenda GaulkeHere are the 4 who were at Myrtle Beach to be installed into ofce: L – R: Laramie Reissner, Terri Hundhausen,Brenda Gaulke and Tammy Hundhausen.

Potentate Rodney has asked that the “Knickerbocker Degree” be presented. This is something new to Zorland!The play is very short and will be presented just before the tradional Shrine Ritual on Saturday May 14th in Mauston. There are seven (7) speaking parts as well as some extras. NO part is very long and we can have some fun with this degree. It follows the beginning of the Shrine and then the hospital system and its eects on our community as well as the image of the Shrine.For those interested, I will be able to send you a copy of the script along with a presentaon video. The video will be for just those truly interested in being cast. I would like to set a meeng at least for a run through. This would be at some central locaon yet to be determined.I do believe this will be something that we can have some real fun with and sll present some history for those just coming into the Shrine. Also, it’s great when we engage the whole family and they learn what we are all about.I look forward to hearing of your interest.Please contact me with your interest or quesons.
