Page 2 Zor Zephyr Magazine • www.zorshriners.comAs I sit here and reect on the events of this past weekend, I am humbled to have been given the opportunity to serve as Potentate of Zor Shriners for 2024.

Keep a watchful eye on the Zephyr for these exciting events. With my theme for this year being ‘24k Care for Kids’, we welcomed Gioia Schutte as our 2024 Patient Ambassador. Gioia will be trav-eling with me around Zorland as much as she can. She will have an article in the Zephyr to keep us up to date with what she is doing in sports and school.Due to the unfortunate timing of a snowstorm, our entertainment had to be cancelled. I have plans to bring the show to you at an upcom-ing event. Make plans now to attend as many events as possible, as you never know what I have up my sleeve.‘24K Care for Kids

The St. Croix Valley Shrine Club was there in full force showing their support for the newly elected Potentate and did a wonderful job of decorating all the tables. Even though the snow chased away some of the Nobles, Ladies, Friends, and the Entertainment, the evening was still a lot of fun. After dinner, Ill. Sir Roger, introduced Zor’s Patient Ambassador, Gioia Schutte. She is a patient from the Shriners Children’s Twin Cities. Gioia is very much into sports and loves to play her violin.

Page 18 Zor Zephyr Magazine • www.zorshriners.comCan’t You Just Taste Those Sweet Vidalia Onions?Onion Sales Are BackA new year has come upon us again and it is time to start thinking about onions sales. The onions were planted end of November if they keep on growing like they are they should be ready the last week of April rst week of May. They do have a new Agriculture Commissioner so they are not sure if he is going to follow the past regime or just say sell them when you want to. If that is the case then they might be ready before the last week of April. We will be keeping our price at $12.00 a bag. I will contact you by April 3rd for your order.Remember, this is an agricultural product so the avail-ability of the onions is all dependent on Mother Na-ture. Pre-selling onions is easy to do, you can put up a ier at a local business, hospitals, bus garages or lo-cal watering hole and they sell themselves. The ier is available on the website under Zor events then hit the Vidalia onion button or I can email or send you a ier if you would like one. If you want to learn how to do this just ask the Zor Imagineers. I do have extra room on each truck for more onions the trucking has all ready been paid for the extra onions you sell are pure prot. If you have never sold any before and need help, let me know and I can help you out. Remember, when you buy a bag for yourself take 4 more to sell to your friends and neighbors. If you are going to want any recipes go to the Zor website and they are available there.If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 715-377-3032 or email me atbausen@lakesidefoods.com Thanks again, Barry Ausen Onion ChairCALLING ALL CLOWNSIt’s time for Judy Collins to “Send in The Clowns”! The Madison Clowns are “CALLING ALL CLOWNS” to join us on Saturday, February 24th as we bring in a new clown. Our new Potentate will have HIS name added to the long line of Zor Potentate Clowns.We would like to see all Clowns at the Esquire Club in Madison, on February 24th for the unveiling of our new Potentate Clown. Dinner is family style, beginning at 6:00 pm with social time beginning whenever you arrive. The cost is $28.00 per person and checks are payable to Zor Clowns. Reserva-tions can be made by either calling Dale Holmen at 608-241-4751 or email at holmendd13@att.net by February 14.This is a fun event for all to be part of. We will have our bag drawing as usual with all the proceeds going to the International Shrine Red Sneaker Fund to support our burn hospitals. There is also the past Potentate Clown review of pictures, so we ask again for ALL past Potentates to remember to bring their picture and remember your name.The evening would not be complete without the making up of our new Potentate and revealing his true name. You don’t want to miss this. Remember, we are ALL clowns at heart, some of us just dress the part. So, CALLING ALL CLOWNS to join us on February 24th.2024 Clown Potentate PartyFebruary 24, 2024ESQUIRE CLUB, 1025 N. SHERMAN AVE, MADISON, WI
February 2024 • Zor Zephyr MagazineZOR MEMBERSHIP 2024Page 19By: Ill. Sir Barry Ausen, PP A new calendar year has visited us. Roger Keller has been elected our new Potentate for 2024. I would like to thank Illustrious Sir Al and Lady Penny Brueggen for the wonderful year they had. The good news for 2023 is we created 23 new Nobles and 2 afliations. Now for the bad news we had 6 deaths.37 Nobles suspended for nonpayment of dues, 5 drops and the Black Camel was not our friend this year. He rode off with 51 of our no-bles. The year ended with 918 nobles and as of today we have 181 nobles that have not paid their dues.If you were not able to attend the annual meeting, Roger has some great ideas for membership. He is trying to make us remember why we became Shriners. During the dinner I started thinking to myself how many people at the dinner I knew very well and how many not so well. We had about 110 nobles and ladies able to make din-ner even with the harsh weather conditions in Zor land. I would have to say, about 100 of them I knew very well. Then I started to think, how many of them I would have known if I was not a Mason or Shriner. Besides my wife, it would have been two. I talk to a lot of the nobles and ladies, sometimes more than my own family.Being a Mason and Shriner opens doors for you into the future. You never know when you will come across the next Noble or lady that will become your new best friend. We need to keep nding new Masons and Shri-ners to keep this happening for the future. We need to keep going to our lodges so we can keep them open and keep bringing in new Masons. With new Masons, we can make them Shriners and keep our great Fraternity going strong into the future. If you have any Masons that would like to become Shriners, I know Roger will be happy to hold a cold sand for anyone, anyplace, any time.
Page 20 Zor Zephyr Magazine • www.zorshriners.comMidwest ShrineAssociation 2024This is Zor Shriner’s Big opportunity to host the 2024 Annual Midwest Shrine Association (MSA) Annual Summer Session August 7-10, 2024, in LaCrosse, WI. Zor last hosted MSA in 2007. So, we don’t get this opportunity very often, thus we want to show the rest of the MSA Temples an outstanding time. There will be many activities for Nobles and their Ladies to participate in. General planning for the event has been going on for the past four years and now it’s ‘crunch’ time with nal touches and details being worked out.A “Welcome Party” with entertainment at the La Crosse Center south ballroom will kick-off the session on Wednesday evening. Thursday there will be optional activities available during the day plus the usual Thursday evening parade in Onalaska followed by a Shrine Oasis at the Omni Center with a great buffet and Entertainment. Friday morning will be the usual competitions in the morning, Ladies Luncheon over the noon hour and other optional activities available. Friday will conclude with a great Shrine-A-Rama at the LaCrosse Center including buffet stations and featuring the Dweebs, “Americas Favorite Party Band” for entertainment. The Summer Session will conclude Saturday morning with a Shrine Parade in La Cresent, MN and a Grab-n-Go snack. Zor Nobles Gary Cuskey, PP, Joe Harker, Monte Steiber, PP, and Todd Wohlert have been busy identi-fying all the puzzle pieces and putting them together. Many other Zor Shriners and Ladies are in the planning and much progress has been made. Signicant time and energy have gone into planning but there is still a long way to go before we can say we are ‘All Set’! We are extremely grateful for the work that continues to be done planning this event. As we get closer and closer to the actual event it will be necessary to enlist the help of many Shriners, their Ladies and La Crosse area Masons to help with the several events, activities, and other jobs that will be a part of this undertaking. On the Zor Website, under the heading of ‘MSA 2024’ there is an initial schedule of events, (which is still somewhat tentative and subject to change), listing the events and activities being planned. Look at this and see if there is something there that interests you and which you would be willing to help. A lot of help is going to be needed to successfully host this event so please let us know of your willingness to help by contacting Joe at jbh2010PGM@outlook.com or one of the other members listed above. Thank you, Gary Cuskey, PP Joe Harker, PGM MSA 1st Vice President MSA 2024 Director General Zor MSA Representative Save the Date

Paents may need to wear a back brace as part of their recovery, which will be custom-made for them in our orthocs department. In rare situaons, if a vertebra is severely out of alignment or if a child remains in pain aer other forms of treatment, spinal fusion surgery may be needed from one of our skilled, experienced physicians.RehabilitaonOur team of physical and occupaonal therapists are highly trained in addressing a multude of dierent diagnoses. With regard to non-operave and post-operave management of injuries, we are able to tailor our treatment strategies to the paent 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 pracce when ulizing modalies and strengthening techniques following injury or surgery and work closely with the medical providers to make sure the paent is making progress and meeng their goals as expected.Specializing in treang pediatrics also gives us a clear lens of how treang a young athlete diers from treang a high school athlete and the importance of using high-level training when appropriate. Our therapists have addional experience treang 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 aect their ability to engage in their everyday acviesIn conclusionUnfortunately, it is impossible to eradicate all risks our Minnesota winters or winter sports pose. However, ensuring proper protecon 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 protecon to our athletes. Wearing good winter are 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 internaonal health care system for children, able to treat many health care issues including orthopedic condions, 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 condions they treat.Shriners Children’s Twin Cies is a specialty clinic focused on the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric orthopedic impairments and injuries. Inially we served a six-state region providing care for some of the most dicult congenital deformity cases, such as children born with their feet facing the wrong way. Some of our paents required over a dozen major surgeries before they were 18. As me went on, we have expanded the range of services we oer 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 consisng of orthopedic surgeons and physician assistants, physical and occupaonal therapists, prosthec and orthoc providers, radiology technicians, child life specialists and licensed social workers. This collaborave approach allows us to treat a wide spectrum of paents with diagnoses ranging from cerebral palsy to ankle sprains. Please think of us as a resource and partner when you have paents who may benet 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.Connued on next pageConnued from previous page+-!('-SVVYPUN33*0 DUDWKRQ)ORRULQJQHW3LQH6W_0DUDWKRQ:,2L]PU:VYLUZVU5(6,'(17,$/&200(5&,$/Comstock Tire2413 S.

Page 24 Zor Zephyr Magazine • www.zorshriners.comORDER OF THE EASTERN STARSubmitted by: Brenda GaulkeHello, our newly installed Potentate Illustrious Sir Roger Keller has asked me to submit articles about one of the other Fraternal Organizations, Eastern Star. He knows that it is close to my heart, and I happen to serve it in a position that I enjoy. So here is the rst of many little articles on our order.I was honored to be asked, so rst…who am I? My name is Brenda Gaulke, I have been a member of Eastern Star since April 21, 1981. It has been a pleasure to serve my home chapter in River Falls where I serve in the “lifetime” station as Secretary. In my dual chapter in Clear Lake, I along with my husband serve as the Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron. Serving the state was a privilege that I had in 2018-2019 when I was the Worthy Grand Matron of Wisconsin and I’m still fullling state commitments today. Happy reading, this was fun putting this together for your enjoyment.What is the Order of The Eastern Star?Who are we?I’m sure that you have seen our Emblematic Star in your lodge room, and maybe you know what it represents or maybe not. Here is a brief explanation of who we are. The Order of Eastern Star is a fraternal orga-nization for both men and wom-en. It is based on a belief of a supreme being and ve heroines of the Bible. The star is having owers, colors and emblems that represent each of these ve women. Our top ofcer is a woman, who has a Mason at her left and together they are our leaders. This organization is open for membership to all Mason’s and the women in their families; wife, daughters, mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces…each one of you is eligible to join. Chapters are what we call each other at the local level, and we also have a state and international level. The purpose of our order is to provide welfare to the wives, widows, daughters, sisters and mothers of our Masonic Fraternity. We raise money for charities both within our organization and outside of it. We raise money for charities that support the care and living of our sisters and brothers. We raise money to enhance their living arrangements. We raise money for special projects; Ronald McDonald House, Shaken Baby Syndrome, Occu-Paws Dog Training, Vest-A-Dog, Pets for Vets, Improvement projects at Three Pillars including Riverside Lodge, the Patio area and currently for a Water feature for Alzheimer’s patients. Locally many chapters raise money for their communities Fire Departments, schools, Back Pack meal program, women’s shelters, food pantries and so much more. Stay tuned to learn more about the Order of Eastern Star.WISCONSIN

This would be at some central locaon yet to be determined.I do believe this will be something that we can have some real fun with and sll 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 quesons. Email Dale Holmen at: holmendd13@a.net or call 608-241-4751. Hope to hear from any Shriners with fun in their heart.715-643-4211Steal & Seafood • Friday Fish FryNightly Specials • Carry-Out AvailableReservations AppreciatedLive Entertainment Friday & SaturdayPrivate Rooms AvailableRestaurant/Bar and Banquet FacilityRex’s Innkeeper• Open Every Night • Lunch Mon.-Fri. 11am-2pm608-849-5011301 N.
