The 122 employees of WD Matthews Machinery Co would like to dedicate our 2014 FezTival Christmas Tree to the memory of Russell Marston.

Russ was not only a colleague of 45 years, he was a mentor and friend to each of us.

This year, the WD Matthews Family shares his love and support of the Kora Shrine and Shriner’s Hospital, and we hope that one lucky family will be overjoyed when they take his tree home.

Olivia's story

By Jackie Rybeck FEZtival Publicist Olivia Lee is an active 11-year-old girl who loves all sorts of activities including many forms of dance, piano and art.

Her mom, Nancy, adores her and certainly never expected to hear a diagnosis of scoliosis at Olivia’s annual physical about a year ago.

“Doctors discovered a curvature in Olivia’s spine. She went through so many tests, and afterward a brace was fabricated for her to wear to help straighten her spine. It was a bit scary and overwhelming,” Nancy Lee said.

Lee had the support of a friend, Danny Morin, whom she’s known for over 15 years.

“He’s someone I could trust, and he’s supported me through all of Olivia’s appointments and challenges.”

Being a Shriner, Morin did more than just support the Lee family.

“It was in the spring and Nancy was just not seeing much progress and asked if she should get a second opinion. I contacted Tim Luttrell, who is also a Shriner and member of the board of Governors at Springfield, to see if scoliosis was something that was treated at the Shriner’s Hospitals for Children in Springfield, and it was,” said Morin.

Knowing that travel for potential patients from Maine can be challenging, Kora Shriners offer orthopedic screening clinics in May, to determine if children qualify to become patients.

“We had just missed this Clinic by days,” said Luttrell. “But an Outreach Clinic was scheduled for June, where our staff from Springfield comes to Maine to do follow-ups for existing patients so we were able to get Olivia screened at that time. Our staff felt that we could help Olivia’s scoliosis and recommended an MRI be taken and that Olivia visit Springfield for further evaluation.”

Lee was very happy and grateful to these local Shriners for their help in getting care for Olivia.

“I didn’t hesitate,” said Lee. “I’ll do whatever I can for my daughter and I needed a second opinion, so we took the trip to Springfield.”

“The quality of care at the hospital was amazing,” said Lee.

From left: Tim Luttrell, Nancy Lee, Olivia Lee and Danny Morin.

“The hospital was beautiful and the staff was so caring and loving. We spent the day there and they adjusted her brace in several areas.”

“And it was a lot of fun!” added Olivia. “There was a game room where the floor was interactive and it changed as you moved.

You could play soccer or any game you wanted. We also got to visit Boston on our way home.”

Being a patient of a Shriner’s hospital is not all about medical care.

“We are committed to providing the best care for children in our specialty areas of Orthopaedics, Burn Care, Spinal Cord Injury, and Cleft Lip and Palate, regardless of a family’s ability to pay,” remarked Luttrell. “In Olivia's case, we were able to provide some additional services beyond treating her condition.”

Next month, Olivia will attend another outreach clinic in Lewiston to chart her progress and if new adjustments are necessary they will be able to do it right there.

“I know there’s been progress,” said Lee. “We have seen a visible difference since August.”

Lee and her daughter have found out first-hand what the

Shriners are all about.

“Without the help of Danny, Tim and all the Shriners, I don’t think it would be possible for Olivia to do all the activities she can do today. They both have such a big heart,” said Lee. “It’s all about helping the kids,” said Morin. “Shriners help people; it’s what we do.”

Kora shrine Center renovations complete with the help of the FEZtival

By Jackie Rybeck FEZtival Publicist

T

he FEZtival of Trees has grown into the prem ier hol iday e vent i n C ent r a l Maine. It not only provides a wonderful event for families throughout the region, but generates funds to support the good work that is done by the Shriners.

With the deterioration of the façade of the Kora Shrine Center, t he Kora Building t r ustees made a decision four years ago to renovate, preser ve a nd protect t he building.

A nd w it h t he help of t he FEZtival of Trees, funds were raised in order to help with t he necessa r y renovat ion work.

Ba r r y Gates, president of t he Kor a Sh r i ne C ent er Fou ndat ion, ex pla i ned why these renovations are necessary.

The net proceeds from the FEZtival of Trees are for the benefit of Kora Shrine Center. Payments are not deductible as charitable contributions.

Pieces that were too deteriorated were to be sent to California and duplicated to make each piece exactly the way they were originally.

“Our forefathers built this magnificent building over 100 years ago. It is now our responsibility to make sure it lives in the heart of the city for at least another 100 years.”

I n Ma rch 2011, Bu i ld i ng Envelope Consultants were engaged to do a forensic i nspect ion. T he pu r pose

of t his inspection was an attempt to determine t he causes associated with the fractures in the terra cotta elements surrounding the window assemblies on the front of the building.

“The inspect ion revea led over-st ressed clay br ick s and terra cotta above and

around the window units.

Steel columns installed were ineffectively picking up all the dead loads, leaving the bricks and terra cotta to pick up loads which contribute to fa i lu res. It a lso fou nd moisture damage in several locations adjacent to the terra cotta features.”

Gates described the primary goal of the renovation.

T he pr i ma r y goa l of t he overhaul was to repair or replace sills and terra cotta columns and stabilize them.

Where needed, load-bearing coils were to be inserted into

joints between the bricks to pick up the load. Pieces that were too deteriorated were to be sent to California and dupl icated to ma ke each

'Tis the FEZtival season

By Jackie Rybeck FEZtival Publicist

their tree, making each year a distinctive and unique experience.

The holiday season is upon us. And for the Lewiston-Auburn area it begins at the Kora Shrine Center with the 9th annual FEZtival of Trees!

“We have some g roups t hat compete against each other to have the most popular tree!” he said. “We are very fortunate to have such support from local businesses, organizations and Shrine Clubs.”

Visiting the Center is quite an experience on its own, with its verdigris domes and exquisitely carved windows. Once inside, its stunning, wall-to-wall murals leave no doubt as to why it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The FEZtival of Trees began nine years ago as a fundraiser to keep this majestic building in operation in order to continue its work and each year it has surpassed the year before. Starting with 23 trees and 2,500 visitors the first year, it has grown to over 60 trees with more than 20,000 visitors last year.

Past Potentate Barry Gates feels that while the building itself is worth the trip, the trees really make it a rare and matchless event. “ T h e t r e e s p on s or s h a v e ou t d on e themselves year after year, and I’m sure this one will prove to be no exception,” said Gates. “They truly embrace the idea of creating a new and exceptional theme for

The theme for this year’s FEZtival is “An Enchanted Christmas.” And what better place to get lost in an enchanted forest than at the Kora Shrine Center! Christmas trees, pixies, elves and fairies will transform ma ny of t hese h istor ica l rooms a nd hallways into a magical dreamland.

For t hose w ho l i ke more t ha n ju st magnificent trees and decor, there will be a silent auction with numerous items to bid on, a 50-50 raffle, the famous Lottery Tree decorated with $500 worth of lottery tickets, and last but not least, Reggie’s Sales and Service has donated an ice auger worth $900 that a lucky winner will receive.

The aroma of popcorn, soups, pizza, baked goods and daily luncheon and dinner specials will lead you straight to the dining hall which will be filled with 28 crafters for any shopper’s pleasure.

Daily, live entertainment in the mezzanine, including such talents as Lionel Meservier, Bob Gendreau, and the Lewiston High School Band and Strings will certainly tickle the senses and sounds of the season.

Why do shriners wear a fez?

Named after the city of Fez, Morocco, the hat represented t he A rabia n t heme t he fraternity was founded on.

It also serves as an outward symbol of one’s membership in the fraternity. Much like t he wh ite apron wor n by Masons as a symbol of their brotherhood, the fez is worn only by Shriners as a symbol of their membership in this unique fraternity.

Today t he fez is wor n at S h r i n e r s' f u n c t i o n s , i n pa rades a nd at outings as a way of gaining exposure for the fraternity. Members customize their fez to show t hei r a l le g ia nc e to t hei r temple.
