Pote’s Notes<br />
The month of May was amazing. On the<br />
third we had snow then eleven days later we<br />
got up to ninety eight. I heard that there is<br />
only one other place on earth that has such<br />
weather extremes. We sure are lucky we live<br />
here.<br />
We started out with a great fish fry and<br />
Masonic information evening at Tussler<br />
Summit Lodge. The food and fellowship<br />
were second to none. Then on Saturday the<br />
4th, we had the spring ceremonial. We had<br />
two new Nobles join Osman. The weather<br />
and the construction that is going on<br />
around our warehouse prevented the<br />
ceremonial team from getting the trailer<br />
with all the equipment and props. But in<br />
true Osman fashion they put on their<br />
tuxedos and did a fantastic job. Thanks<br />
again, guys.<br />
On the 10th, Terrie and I attended the<br />
installation of officers for the Osman Cycle<br />
Corp. What a great group. We ate and<br />
shared a few beverages and talked about the<br />
old times and what we hope will be many<br />
more years of good times.<br />
Then I got a terrible summer cold and<br />
was unable to attend<br />
the club and unit head<br />
meeting. Our<br />
Assistant Rabban, Jeff<br />
Olsen, covered for me<br />
and I later heard he<br />
did a great job.<br />
Thanks Jeff, I owe you<br />
one.<br />
I also missed the<br />
steak fry down in<br />
Albert Lea. I heard<br />
that was really fun as<br />
well. I got better just<br />
in time to attend the<br />
joint Osman/Zuhrah<br />
Divan dinner. This is a<br />
dinner that was started<br />
by my Shrine father<br />
Mike Hildebrand and<br />
his Zuhrah<br />
counterpart Bill<br />
Larson. This has been<br />
a great event to share<br />
Good stuff! Potentate Don Harmsen<br />
enjoying the Fish Fry/Membership Event<br />
at Tusler Summit Lodge.<br />
with our brothers across the river. I’m sure<br />
Mark and his counterpart will keep the<br />
tradition going.<br />
The 17th brought <strong>Hospital</strong> Day and that<br />
was a great day as well. They were prepared<br />
for the rainy weather we had and had the<br />
event in the upper level of the parking<br />
garage. I always learn more and more about<br />
what great things go on at the Shriners<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> for Children. When the patients<br />
come and talk about the great care and the<br />
loving attention they get, it’s hard to keep a<br />
dry eye.<br />
We sure are lucky to be Shriners.<br />

Dr. Cary Mielke is congratulated by Potentate Don<br />
Harmsen as he became an Osman Shriner at the Club<br />
& Unit Head Seminar in February.<br />
Cary Mielke named Chief of Staff<br />
Chairman Raymond McCabe announced that the<br />
Board of Governors of the Twin Cities hospital<br />
unanimously approved and ratified the<br />
recommendation of the Joint Boards to appoint Cary<br />
H. Mielke, M.D. Chief of Staff.<br />
Dr. Mielke is a graduate of Macalester College and<br />
received his Medical Degree from the University of<br />
Minnesota. He completed his residency at Mayo Clinic<br />
in Rochester, Minnesota and a fellowship in pediatric<br />
orthopaedic surgery at the University of Utah and<br />
Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong> for Children in Salt Lake City. In<br />
2006 Dr. Mielke left the world of private practice to<br />
join the Twin Cities medical staff as Assistant Chief of<br />
Staff.<br />
Dr. Mielke is certified by the American Board of<br />
Orthopaedic Surgery and is a member of the Pediatric<br />
Orthopaedic Society of North America. His areas of<br />
special interest include lower extremity reconstruction<br />
and the care of children with cerebral palsy. Dr. Mielke<br />
is involved with outreach efforts abroad to Guatemala .<br />
“I am excited to apply the principas I have<br />
developed in<br />
practice with my<br />
patients on a large<br />
scale,” states Dr.<br />
Mielke. “Shriners<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> for<br />
Children - Twin<br />
Cities is an<br />
outstanding<br />
specialty hospital,<br />
and I am proud<br />
that they have<br />
chosen me to help<br />

2013 <strong>Hospital</strong> Day<br />
On Friday, May 17, Board of Governors Chairman Raymond G.<br />
McCabe welcomed approximately 350 Shriners and their Ladies as well as<br />
representatives from the Womens General Auxiliary, Daughters of the Nile,<br />
donors, and friends of the <strong>Hospital</strong> to <strong>Hospital</strong> Day 2013. e afternoon<br />
program was highlighted by patient and family stories as well as a<br />
presentation by staff on “What Makes Us Special”.<br />
Despite the weather, the program was hailed a success and the day was<br />
capped off when KSTP News Anchor Megan Newquist announced the 2013<br />
Rainbow of Hope Award recipients. Two current patients and one former<br />
patient were chosen to receive the award this year based on their attitude,<br />
positive outlook on life and track record of giving back to others in need.<br />
Each of these recipients has proven themselves to be a role model within<br />
their community—despite the challenges they live with each and every day.<br />
is year’s recipients were Hope Lilly Borman, a 7-year old who already<br />
knows the importance of “paying it forward” by collecting and donating<br />
well over 1,000 toys to the hospital; Tabitha Henke, a 13-year old<br />
ambassador of triumph and joy who, through her “Tabitha Hug” program<br />
has raised over $6,000 for flat screen television sets for patient rooms; and<br />
former patient Derrick Perez, who, despite many physical challenges, has<br />
become a decorated Patrolman and Narcotics K-9 handler and has received<br />
citations for bravery in the<br />
line of duty as well as an<br />
Honorable Service Medal<br />
award for bravery<br />
involving personal risk to<br />
life. e Rainbow of Hope<br />
program is supported<br />
through the generosity of<br />
Osman Shrine Center and<br />
supported through the<br />
generosity of Osman<br />

90th Anniversary Celebration<br />
Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong>s for Children—Twin Cities celebrates 90 years of<br />
high-quality care this year. On May 18th, a Carnival-themed party was held<br />
on hospital grounds. What was planned to be a fun day on the front lawn<br />
ended up being even more enjoyable in the parking garage and inside the<br />
hospital. e world’s shortest parade started the day and guests enjoyed a<br />
petting zoo, tours, grilled hamburgers and lots of entertainment. ank you<br />
to each individual who helped make this event special. We couldn’t have<br />
done it without you. Here’s to 90 more!<br />

Can I still sponsor a<br />
patient?<br />
New patients are no longer required to have a<br />
Shriner sponsor because we believe all children<br />
deserve an opportunity to be treated at Shriners<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong>s for Children.<br />
e hospital still relies on your referrals of new<br />
patients to Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong>s for Children (see<br />
example of new referral card on right).<br />
When families schedule their appointment, they are<br />
asked how they heard about the hospital. By including<br />
your name on their referral card, new patients will reference you as<br />
their referral source when they call to schedule their first<br />
appointment and you will be noted in their file.<br />

The Chief’s Corner<br />
e <strong>Hospital</strong> day went well on Friday<br />
and the Minnesota Twins game was a good<br />
game with some great double plays by our<br />
Minnesota Twins, but they couldn’t pull it<br />
off; they lost 3-2 to the Red Sox.<br />
It was a wet day for the 90th Birthday<br />
of our Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong>.<br />
Our next stated meeting is on June<br />
11th at the Osman Event Center. Social at<br />
6:00pm. Meeting starts at 6:30pm sharp.<br />

Mighty Mites<br />
Greetings from<br />
the Mighty<br />
Mites<br />
Nothing like<br />
a parade or a<br />
circus will bring<br />
people together<br />
in the name of<br />
fun. While we<br />
Wally Larsen<br />
love to see the<br />
many families<br />
during the busy parade season, nothing<br />
brings smiles to the children’s faces more<br />
than circus clowns, cats, elephants, and<br />
the many performers at a circus. What an<br />
honor it is to be a part of the annual<br />
circus that serves our community.<br />
e Mighty Mites membership<br />
answered the call from our Temple to<br />
work the circus as did the other clubs and<br />
units of Osman. If there is one event that<br />
draws our members together, it’s the<br />
circus. Circus week starts with setup<br />
28th. It was a great turnout last year and<br />
fun was had by all. I must say it was fun to<br />
try and dunk the Divan in the dunk tank,<br />
I had no success but others were successful.<br />
MSA Duluth is August 15th-17th.<br />
Looks like it will be a great time. Please<br />
make sure you register ASAP for your hotel<br />
reservations (see page 28).<br />

During this special week, we are all<br />
afforded the opportunity to serve our<br />
Temple while spending time with fellow<br />
members that have chosen the Shrine as a<br />
group of guys that we all call brothers.<br />
e call to serve Osman was made for<br />
the 90th time with the same response.<br />
Members of the Mighty Mites responded<br />
with the same energy and passion that<br />
clubs and units have displayed for the last<br />
ninety years providing our community<br />
with a quality entertainment experience.<br />
While the Mighty Mites are a relatively<br />
new unit in the history of the Osman<br />
Circus, each member of our group<br />
understands how important the circus is<br />
to our Temple, community and the<br />
mission of this great organization.<br />
John Watson, the Mighty Mites Crew<br />
Chief, would like to extend his thanks to<br />

Shrine Circus a<br />
success.<br />
Was the 2013 Shrine Circus a success?<br />
One only had to take the time to see the<br />
faces of the many families in attendance<br />
this year. Grandparents, parents, their<br />
kids and grandkids displayed their<br />
“Happy Face.” e true test in this case,<br />
is in the eye of the beholder. With that in<br />
mind, I would say fun was had by all<br />
those that were in attendance, and those<br />
of us that were there to work. Did I say<br />
work? It’s never work when you are<br />
having fun in the name of Osman!<br />

On May 1st we held our first practice. As<br />
in years past, some of the Karts required<br />
a few more pulls than others to get them<br />
running. After sitting idle this past<br />

and a couple had flat tires. The Karts are<br />

A big ank You to all who were able to<br />
attend any part of the 90th Anniversary<br />
events for the Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong>s. We are<br />
always blessed to learn about the new and<br />
exciting things taking place at our hospitals<br />
when we attend these events. We were also<br />
privileged to participate in the shortest<br />
parade ever when we marched along the<br />
driveway of the hospital on Saturday. A<br />
wonderful Anniversary celebration was<br />
planned and everyone attending had a great<br />
time.<br />
Our annual tradition of Presenting the<br />
Colors as well as escorting wreaths on<br />
Memorial Day at Acacia Park continues.<br />
is year was just a little more special for<br />
me as my oldest daughter, Stephanie, was<br />
also a part of the ceremony as one of the<br />
Job's Daughters that performs the living<br />
cross (they close all their meetings with<br />
this, and it's really something special).<br />
If you have never attended this Memorial<br />
Day ceremony you really owe it to yourself<br />
to include it in your activities next year.<br />
Our June meeting will be held at the<br />

ready for<br />
the season.<br />

of the construction near the access road<br />
goes.<br />

one. We will be participating in the South<br />
St. Paul parade on Friday, June<br />

Lakeville Pan-o-Prog on July<br />
13th. Don't forget Imperial is<br />
relatively close in Indianapolis<br />
and there is a very large parade<br />
there scheduled for July 1 - you<br />
can fulfill your desire to be a<br />
clown and march in that parade<br />
as a clown! And the Family<br />
Picnic will be July 28th at<br />

not sure what will be next. I hope this all<br />
straightens out for parade season.<br />

Great news! e Chanters may have<br />
two new members from the Ceremonial on<br />
May 4th. We look forward to seeing them.<br />
e Chanters did not sing at the<br />
Ceremonial, as we do not have an<br />
accompanist as yet. We need you, Osman<br />
members, to recommend somebody who is<br />
able to do that for us.<br />
We are going to sing at Acacia Park on<br />
Memorial Day again this year. is is<br />
always a great time. Too bad there aren’t<br />
more people in the audience for such a<br />
lovely program to honor those who have<br />
served and also those who are no longer<br />
with us.<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> Day was May 18th and what a<br />
good crowd. Shriners from all over the<br />
upper Midwest and Canada, all came to see<br />
and hear about the work that is done at our<br />
hospital. Miracles are performed daily. We<br />
As the temps<br />
keep rising, so<br />

On Saturday,<br />
May 7th we had our clean up day at the<br />
Alex Shrine building. It was a bit windy<br />
and chilly but got just about everything<br />
done that needed to be done. Everything is<br />
running and ready to go for the parade<br />
season. I would like to thank everyone that<br />
came to help. You were all appreciated<br />
dearly for your help.<br />
ere are now new steps on the motor<br />
home—no more sagging when you step on<br />
them!<br />
As the parade season is approaching, we<br />
are looking for anyone who would want to<br />
be a part of the parades. Whether you have<br />
ridden a 4-wheeler or if you want to, please<br />
contact John Phillips and he will get you<br />
hooked up. If you don’t want to ride a 4-<br />
wheeler but still want to come, you are<br />
more than welcome to ride in the motor<br />
home!<br />
should all be very proud to be a small part<br />
of those things done to improve the<br />
physical and mental healing of those<br />
children.<br />
What a full weekend – with a baseball<br />
game, <strong>Hospital</strong> Day, and Casino night at<br />

Rochester Dragon Patrol<br />
After the world’s shortest (and possibly wettest) parade,<br />
Chang makes his way to the 2nd level to greet children and<br />
guests. Dragon marchers didn’t notice when Chang tripped<br />
the “You’re Too Tall” marker on the way up, and found<br />
Chang’s ears didn’t fit under the rafters. Some creative<br />
“tipping” and he was on his way!<br />
Dragons Doug Brick, left and Dan Rasmussen met up with<br />
some clowns - Dan carried lipstick marks the rest of the day!<br />
This might have been the only Dragon in a parking garage<br />
in the State of Minnesota that day!<br />
Chang is out of hibernation. In fact he has participated in his<br />
first parade at the 90th anniversary at the Shrine <strong>Hospital</strong> on May<br />
18th. It rained, but none the less the nobles had fun and I<br />
understand there was some lipstick left behind!<br />
It has been an interesting spring, when Chang was taken out we<br />
found out that<br />
the truck, cart,<br />
and Chang's<br />
sound batteries<br />
were all bad,<br />
they are now<br />
replaced and<br />
ready for the<br />
first parade in<br />
Arcadia WI.<br />
ere was a lot<br />
of TLC done to<br />
the truck and<br />
trailer to ready<br />
it for parade<br />
season.<br />
We have<br />
plenty of<br />
parades lined up<br />
Dragons Doug Brick and Al Shufelt doing the<br />
“toss the stuffie into the basket” game with the<br />
Daughters of the Nile.<br />
- over 30 requests so far, requests continue to come in weekly.<br />
Check out parade schedule on our website. We are looking for help<br />
from nobles, anticipating them to sign up for parades.<br />
We want to offer special thanks to Noble Brad Stout from Austin<br />
who brought over the Oriental Bands bus to tow our Dragon Patrol<br />
Trailer. is was done to see how their bus would handle the 28<br />
foot trailer. It worked fine, so we will now continue to prepare our<br />
recently purchased bus for the Dragon Patrol. ere is plenty of<br />
work to be done before it will be ready for parades.<br />
We have 11<br />
Nobles signed up<br />
for Midwest in<br />
Duluth. We are<br />
looking forward to<br />
heading to this<br />
great lake city. See<br />
you all soon!<br />

was at the Masonic Center Plato and a GREAT job<br />
was done by the Osman Ceremonial team. e<br />
work was wonderful, the fellowship was fun, and<br />
the lunch was good. What a great order the Osman<br />
group is. Welcome aboard Noble Wayne!!!<br />
Our Club also had our<br />
annual Spring Steak Fry May<br />
15th. Attendance was good, the<br />
food was great, the weather was<br />

Mankato Shrine Club & T-Birds kicked<br />
off the 2013 parade season with the annual<br />
spring banquet April 19th, at the Eagles<br />
Club. All 39 Nobles & Ladies who<br />
attended enjoyed a 4 meat buffet, with<br />
beverage of choice. We were especially<br />
pleased to be joined by Marshal Larry<br />
Norte and Lady Audrey considering we<br />
had 8 inches of heavy wet snow the night<br />
before. Marshal Larry Norte installed<br />

North Mankato American Legion again<br />
had their sharing tree, which netted a van<br />

December.<br />
Mankato donated<br />
$2,000.00 for the<br />
Parade of Glory.<br />
Our restoration<br />
program limited the<br />
amount we could<br />
contribute. We repainted<br />
8 cars and<br />

this winter. Hope<br />
all have a great<br />

something, more on this later.<br />
No meetings are scheduled for July and<br />
August due to parade schedules.<br />
A reminder to register for the MSA in<br />
Duluth, MN, Aug. 15-17 if you haven’t<br />
already done so. Application is in this issue<br />
if needed.<br />
I have it from good authority<br />
that there will be a Camel Herders<br />
degree at the MSA.<br />
Any new Nobles who are<br />
looking for a unit to join, should<br />
seriously consider the Directors<br />
Staff. We don’t march, we ride.<br />
Directors’ Staff member PP<br />
Marv Edelstein is at Bethesda<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> in St. Paul and is hoping<br />
to be released to rehab soon. Keep<br />
Marv and his family in your<br />
thoughts and prayers.<br />
Hope to see you at the events.<br />
Have a great month<br />
Keep on rollin'<br />
with the Director's Staff<br />

From page 11<br />
Ceremonial cast member Gary<br />
Wettschreck didn’t get<br />
the email about<br />
doing the May 4<br />
ceremonial in<br />
tuxedoes, so<br />
Tom West<br />
hurried home,<br />
got him his<br />
spare tux.<br />
Unfortunately,<br />
Tom<br />
forgot to get<br />
dark socks. It<br />
was either the<br />
dorky white<br />
socks, or the curly<br />
toed red shoes!<br />
Looking good, Gary!<br />
Merry Medics<br />
Nobles, Ladies, and<br />
Friends<br />
As I write this<br />
we all have a heavy<br />
heart with the<br />
passing of a great<br />
clown and a great<br />
Brother, Bob Witt.<br />
Bob will be missed<br />
by all and this<br />
parade season will<br />
not be the same<br />
without him<br />
behind the<br />
wheel of the<br />
ambulance. Bob enjoyed<br />
participating in parades and rarely missed<br />
one. Last year he received the well<br />
deserved Clown of the Year.<br />
Bob was very involved in the Masonic<br />
Lodge, Scottish Rite and the Osman<br />
Temple and Shrine Club. He spent many<br />
summer weekends with the Merry Medics<br />
Clowns, a group of Rochester Shrine Club<br />
members that used their participation in<br />
regional celebrations and parades to raise<br />
awareness for Shriners Children's hospitals.<br />
We all will miss his knowledge and all<br />
the great stories shared while on trips. I<br />
personally enjoyed meeting Bob and<br />
Ryan Colligan<br />
parading with him last year, I only<br />
wish I could have had a lot more<br />
years to hear more stories and learn<br />
much more from him. Bob was a<br />
true Brother and we all are better<br />
men to have crossed paths with him.<br />
Parade season is gaining speed<br />
with a couple under our suspenders.<br />
We were honored in participating in<br />
the 90th anniversary Shrine<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong>-Twin Cities parade. It was<br />
fun to see all the different units<br />
parading for the kids, that's what it's<br />
all about. We also had two parades<br />
on June 9th with the Merry Medics<br />
in Adams, MN and e Cannon Valley<br />
Clowns in Pine Island, MN. I want to<br />
We’ll miss Bob Witt’s smiling<br />
encouragement at the parades this<br />
summer.<br />
Merry Medics Patrick Johnson, Ryan Colligan and<br />
Kenny Monaghan met up with a couple of Zuhrah<br />
clowns, and tried to keep dry at the <strong>Hospital</strong><br />
birthday party<br />
thank all that participated. We have plenty<br />
more parades to partake in this month and<br />
it's never too late to join in on the fun. If<br />
you are interested in clowning with us,<br />
please contact me. We can never have too<br />
many clowns! Free shirt and first years dues<br />
on us! Until next time, I hope to see you<br />
on the street<br />
ere are no strangers, only friends you<br />
have not met yet.<br />
— Robert 'Bob' Witt<br />

A parade wouldn’t be a parade<br />
without Shriners! We checked with<br />
some of the Osman Units and got this<br />
tentative list of parades scheduled for<br />
this summer. Though far from<br />
complete, this list is impressive.<br />
Reminder: your Temple dues need to be paid before you can participate in any parades,<br />
as you will not be covered by the Temple insurance.<br />

Behind the Kart-riding, clowning and horn-tooting,<br />
these Units are spreading the message of Shriners’<br />
philanthropy: “We parade so they can walk.” There<br />
are hundreds of parades throughout Minnesota<br />
and surrounding states each summer, and through<br />
the efforts of dozens of Shrine Units, many will have<br />
at least one Shrine Unit participating. Check over<br />
the list, and if you have a spare afternoon or<br />
evening, come to a parade! Better yet, join a Unit<br />
so you can participate!<br />
contact the office with<br />
your email and you will<br />
get the parade blast<br />

She is ‘Titanium’<br />
By Deb Gau, Marshall Independent<br />
As Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong> in the Twin Cities celebrates its 90th<br />
year, Micayla Murphy is one beneficiary that can speak to the<br />
importance of the childrens’ hospital<br />
Micayla Murphy is a dancer. Not just in the sense that the<br />
Marshall middle-schooler<br />
loves being part of the Just For<br />
Kix program - her mom says<br />
it's hard to get her to stop<br />
dancing, period.<br />
"I'm also a sprinter, too,"<br />
Micayla Murphy said. at's<br />
why the past six months have<br />
been tough, as Micayla has<br />
recovered from surgery that<br />
helped correct curves in her<br />
spine.<br />
While she talked, Marshall<br />
fifth-grader Micayla Murphy<br />
hugged a monkey toy given to<br />
Micayla Murphy<br />
her during recovery for back<br />
(photo by Deb Gau)<br />
surgery in December. Scoliosis<br />
had made it hard for Murphy<br />
to participate in dance, one of her favorite things to do.<br />
Back in December, she spent almost a week at the Shriners<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> for Children in the Twin Cities. Both Micayla and her<br />
mother Carrie Colvin-Murphy said this week that they're<br />
counting down the days until Micayla can officially go back to<br />
being her active self. "As of next month, she'll get all of her<br />
activity back," Colvin-Murphy said.<br />
It's been a long journey, going all the way back to last spring.<br />
Colvin-Murphy said she and other family members noticed<br />
something didn't seem right with Micayla's posture.<br />
"Mom would say, 'Micayla, stand up straight,' and I'd be<br />
like, 'I am standing up straight,'" Micayla Murphy said. Wearing<br />
a plaid shirt one day showed that something definitely wasn't<br />
right, Micayla said. e lines in the fabric pattern were curved<br />
over parts of her back where she seemed to be growing lumps.<br />
Micayla was diagnosed with scoliosis, which was causing her<br />
spine to curve in an "S" shape. One of the curves was sharp<br />
enough that it was also putting pressure on her lung and making<br />
it harder to breathe.<br />
"She would start dancing, and her endurance was not what it<br />
should be," Colvin-Murphy said.<br />
e only option to help Micayla was back surgery, Colvin-<br />
Murphy said, and there were two children's hospitals in<br />
Minnesota where the surgery could be done.<br />
One was the Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong>. Colvin-Murphy said she<br />
applied for a referral there, partly because it worked with a<br />
surgeon from the Mayo Clinic, and partly because she had<br />
family and friends who are members of the Shriners<br />
organization.<br />
Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong> for Children-Twin Cities, located in<br />
Minneapolis, is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. e<br />
hospital specializes in offering orthopedic care for children<br />
around the country.<br />
"If it hadn't been for the Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong>, I don't know<br />
what we would've done," Colvin-Murphy said. e surgery costs<br />
were steep, even with help from insurance.<br />
"ere was a huge application form," Colvin- Murphy said.<br />
She said patients could get referrals from either a physician or<br />
P a g e 2 2 J u n e 2 0 1 3
from a local Shriners group. "ank<br />
goodness, we had both." Micayla was<br />
scheduled for surgery on Dec. 4.<br />
"We went up there on Dec. 3," Micayla<br />
said. Part of the preparations weren't just<br />
for the surgery but to make her hospital<br />
stay afterward more comfortable. "ey<br />
gave me an iPad, and they had a lot of<br />
movies you could pick out to watch."<br />
"ey worked really hard to make sure<br />
that the things that scared her the most<br />
wouldn't be there," Colvin-Murphy said of<br />
the hospital staff. But, Micayla Murphy<br />
said, it was still hard not to be nervous.<br />
"I was pretty scared," Micayla said.<br />
"When they first came up with the<br />
(surgical) bed, I was just bawling."<br />
Micayla went into surgery at 8 a.m. and<br />
didn't come out until around 5:30 p.m.,<br />
Colvin-Murphy said. She had two titanium<br />
rods screwed to her spine, to help keep it<br />
straight. During the next few days, Micayla<br />
worked with therapists to help her get<br />
moving and breathing deeply again.<br />
It was hard at first, Micayla said. She<br />
couldn't manage more than walking from<br />
her room to the hall and back.<br />
"Right after I got up, I was like, 'I don't<br />
want to do this,'" she said.<br />
After Micayla was released from the<br />
hospital, there were still months to go in<br />
the recovery process. For a long time, she<br />
said, she wasn't allowed to do more<br />
physical activity than walking around the<br />
track at the Marshall YMCA. It was<br />
important that her spine had plenty of<br />
time to grow strong around the rods and<br />
screws, Colvin-Murphy said.<br />
It wasn't easy being stuck at home,<br />
Micayla said, but she had a lot of support<br />
from friends, family, and teachers. She was<br />
able to come back to school after the<br />
winter holidays.<br />
"I got this really huge card that had all<br />
the fifth-graders and teachers' names on it,"<br />
she said. She also found a whole bunch of<br />
get-well cards that had been slipped into<br />
her locker.<br />
School desks, on the other hand, were<br />
harder to deal with.<br />
"ose chairs weren't comfortable at<br />
all," Micayla said. "I had to get up a lot."<br />
Colvin-Murphy said Micayla is now<br />
down to just 15 days before the last<br />
doctors' restrictions come off for physical<br />
activity.<br />
"It's so far away," Micayla interjected.<br />
She said it will be exciting to go back to<br />
dancing.<br />
Micayla already has a song picked out<br />
for a solo routine, Colvin-Murphy said.<br />
It's called "Titanium."<br />

entertainment to the Twin Cities. Known for innovative promotions and a "Fun is<br />
Good" attitude, the Saints have been recognized locally and nationally for their<br />
creativity and customer service. Where else can you watch a live pig deliver<br />
baseballs to the umpire, get a massage from an 80-year-old nun, sit on a bill board<br />

Dear Auxiliary Members and Friends of<br />
the Auxiliary,<br />
ank you to all who attended our<br />
May event at the historic St. James Hotel<br />
in Red Wing. We had such a fun<br />
afternoon. We enjoyed a delicious lunch,<br />
a beautiful setting, great conversation and<br />
lots of laughs. It was great to have several<br />
of our Auxiliary members from Rochester<br />
and Kenyon in attendance in addition to<br />
Donna Pavlish, Terri Thomas, Elvie<br />
Thompson and Sue Doty at the St. James<br />
Hotel event.<br />
all of our Ladies from the<br />
Cities and the guests<br />
brought by our members.<br />
It was also wonderful to<br />
have one of our new<br />
members, Donna Pavlish,<br />
attend this event. Our<br />
guest speaker was Char<br />
Henn, Director of the<br />
Goodhue Historical<br />
Society in Red Wing. e<br />
topic of Char’s<br />
presentation was “Beneath<br />
it All.” She shared the<br />
history of ladies’<br />
undergarments dating<br />
back to the 1800’s up to<br />
present day. She showed us some of the<br />
“old” undergarments and literally had us<br />
in “stitches” with her humorous and<br />
educational presentation. She really was a<br />
fabulous presenter. A very special “thank<br />
you” to Linda Johnson and Marjorie Park<br />
for planning and hosting this great event.<br />
ank you also to Betty Porter for making<br />
and donating the very creative and<br />
beautiful floral centerpieces which had<br />
tiny undergarments in them. ere were<br />
drawings for the centerpieces. ank you<br />
also to Kathy Flicek for helping Marjorie<br />
Park make the fancy table favors<br />
Charles Van House continues to be one<br />
of the Osman Womens Auxiliary’s<br />
strongest supporters. Charles is a member<br />
of the Austin Shrine Club, and he is<br />
absolutely amazing. He has set up two<br />
collection sites in the Austin area where he<br />
collects cans and pop tabs. He takes the<br />
cans and pop tabs to the recycling facility<br />
which issues a check to the Osman<br />
Womens Auxiliary which Charles then<br />
forwards to us. We<br />
have received three<br />
checks during the<br />
Kathy Flicek, Rose West, Marjorie Park and Elizabeth<br />
Ekholm hosted an information table at the Tusler<br />
Summit Fish Fry/Membership event.<br />
course of the last month. Charles also<br />
included a one dollar bill with the last<br />
check as someone had put the dollar bill in<br />
the pop tab collection. ank you so<br />
much, Charles. We really appreciate all<br />
your efforts to continue to raise money for<br />
the Osman Womens Auxiliary which is<br />
used to provide mobility equipment for<br />
the children at Shriners <strong>Hospital</strong> for<br />
Children – Twin Cities. We are always<br />
amazed and thankful for all of the support<br />
we receive from the Osman Shriners and<br />
their Ladies!<br />
On May 3, Osman Womens Auxiliary<br />
was honored to participate in the all<br />
Masonic information meeting and Fish<br />
Fry at Tussler Summit Lodge. e<br />
Auxiliary set up a booth and shared<br />
information about the works of the<br />
Auxiliary.<br />
<strong>Hospital</strong> Day was very inspiring. It is<br />
always so interesting to hear about the<br />
new treatments and techniques that our<br />
highly skilled Medical and <strong>Hospital</strong> staff<br />
perform. An added bonus is to hear from<br />

Games on the hospital front yard were rained out for the 90th Birthday<br />
Celebration, but Osman Auxiliary Board Member Kathy Flicek joined other<br />
groups on the 2nd floor of the parking garage. Here she is showing the<br />

they have made. We, as Auxiliary<br />
