Exalted Rulers Column

Members,

I can hardly believe it is already November, the weather is turning colder and

the leaves are still falling.

The Halloween Dance was a fun time, we just wish more people had come

out for it. Thanks to Shady and Dave Orth for putting it on.

The Turkey Raffle is over and was again a success, thanks to Kathy Frommeyer and her tireless work on

getting it organized. Of course it could not have been a success without all of the help she received from

everyone and from all the people and members that came out to attend. Thanks to everyone that worked

and the ones that just came out to enjoy the dinner and spent their money on raffles. Thanks is also sent

out to Debbie Rawe for working so hard on the Reverse Raffle and all the members that sold the tickets.

Coming up this month are all the things we do in November, the Anniversary Dinner for Members and their

spouses, the Veterans visit for their Thanksgiving Dinner, also getting prepared for Christmas.

We will be decorating for Christmas right before Thanksgiving. Please come up Nov 19th at 2pm and

help decorate our lodge and bring a dish to share so we can enjoy a meal after decorating is complete.

I’d like to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving of your own. As we approach the Christmas Holidays,

please keep other families that may not be as privileged as ourselves in your thoughts, and give of your time

or donations to the needy and under-privileged. Say prayers for those away from home, and those who are

ill or in distress in any way.

Fran and I want to express our sincerest condolences to our good friend, Secretary Russ Cramer on

the loss of his wife and our friend Carol, she will be missed. Russ if you need us for anything please ask.

Sincerely , Dan Bray Exalted Ruler, PSP, PER

Traveling with the "Prez"

October found us away 3 weekends. We attended the Indiana State Convention, in Indy. Very interesting to see how other states do their conventions. Indiana State President Tony Vester and his wife Kim were very gracious hosts.

Then we went to Paducah Lodge for their 125th anniversary celebration. They held a reception followed by a delicious dinner. Then Paducah member Kevin Nelson put on a slide show that took us through the history of Paducah Elks. We really enjoyed the evening, and got some ideas for Newport's 125th in two years.

Next, we attended the Past State President's retreat in Shelbyville. Although Bill had to go to a day long meeting, I got to spend some time with other wives from across the state and go shopping. I had fun, can't say the same for Bill.

Even though Bill's term isn't up till February, we will be finished with our lodge visits soon. We only have one lodge left, Ashland in November, then we can relax, and enjoy the upcoming Holidays.

Bill and Kathy

Sickness and Distress

We sadly report the passing of our Member Terri Teaney. Born May 5,1945, Initiated May 2016, Died Sep-

tember 26, 2016. Terri was our Ladies Auxiliary President in 1991. Terri is no longer with us but will live for-

ever on our Tablets of Love and Memory. Our sincerest sympathy is extended to the family and friends.

We also note the passing of Linda Carmack’s mother Madeline Schmitt, on October 4th 2016.

Carol Cramer was moved from the Highlands Therapy Rehab Center back to the hospital and is currently in

the ICU. (Note from Fran 10/24) It was just brought to my attention that Carol passed away on October

24th, 2016. She was Russ Cramer’s wife and best friend. She was a long time member and she will be sorely

missed by her family and friends. In the past year, she has been through a lot. Go in peace my friend, you are

in your Lord’s arms now.

Terry Morris , Ruth Bray’s brother and member, has also been through a lot in the past year, please pray for

him, he is home and trying to recover from multiple health issues due to Cancer.

Roger Bray brother of Dan Bray, and Son of Ken and Ruth Bray, and Fran’s favorite brother-in-law, is one of

our members living in Colorado Springs Co. He found out recently he has to be treated for Throat Cancer

and will be going through treatment in the near future. He is still having tests and biopsy’s and is still finding

out what his next steps are. He needs as many prayers as we can send, for a full recovery.

Aline Jacobs is making progress and is still in rehab therapy after breaking her hip, she needs our prayers,

and hopefully she will be back at the lodge eating dinner soon.

Carol Cole has had her facial nerve surgery, and it is finally feeling much better, glad you are finally feeling

better Carol.

Terri Robinson is finally out of the hospital and is recovering at home. She has been through a lot this year

and could use our prayers also.

Jack Fausz has been in the hospital for several weeks with a very serious condition. He needs our prayers.

David Ziegler is still in the nursing home in the Cold Spring Transitional Care Facility and could use our

prayers.

Vicky Pauly’s cousin Harold Shelton was in a farm tractor accident, he lost his arm due to difficulties, and

needs our prayers.

Mary Sosnowski, in Florida is waiting to have some major heart surgery, and needs our prayers.

We offer our sincere get well wishes to anyone in our Elks family who is sick or who may be in distress.

Please remember to notify me if you see me or send me a note regarding anyone who is an Elk if they are

sick or if a family member is sick.

Stay well,

Russ Cramer Jr, PSP, Secretary

Can Tab Collections

We have collected 75 lbs. of pull tabs to recycle for Ronald McDonald House. Please help us collect the aluminum can tabs from your soft drink and beer cans by removing them from the top of your canned drink and placing them in the bowl on top of the blue recycling trash can. You can also hand them to Janet Arnold or our bartender, Kathy Hargett.

These little tabs are recycled and the money received for the aluminum helps subsidize the lodging costs for families of very sick children at the Ronald McDonald House. Thank you so much to everyone for contributing to this effort.

Kids with Cancer Benefit Dance Report

This year’s Benefit Dance was a huge success!!!. Everyone in attendance really enjoyed the event from the

music to the food.

We would like to thank everyone who participated. Thank you Darrell and Janet for working the door. Bill,

Kathy, Jimmy and Candy for selling tickets. Daisy and Kathy for having the tickets ready to sell. Terry and all

her helpers for preparing the food, it was awesome as usual. The Ladies and Tailored Catering for donating

the food. Peggy and Judy for making the Jello shots, they were enjoyed by everyone.

This years attendance was the best by far, as there were 162 tickets sold. Also the money raised was also the

best ever with a total of $4857.00. Hopefully we didn’t forget anyone, thanks to all that helped in any way

or who attended.

Thank you—Sam Taylor, Scott Hehman and Tim Amend

Bar Drink Price Increase

At the October trustees meeting it was voted on for a drink price increase. Effective December 1st all drinks across the board shall be increased by $.25 cents. In addition to this increase all drinks requiring other than fountain will be an additional $.25 cents. Any drink that gets canned pop, orange juice, cranberry juice, tomato juice, bloody Mary mix and the like will be charged an additional $.25 cents per drink. This increase is nominal but is necessary to maintain the price increase the bar has incurred. Thank you for your understand-ing. The Trustees, Mark, Daisy, Dan, Joe and Scott

Chicken Tortilla Casserole by Trisha Yearwood

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt

Chicken Gravy, recipe follows

1 cup canned green chiles, chopped and drained

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Cooking spray

Twenty-four 6-inch corn tortillas

3 cups shredded Cheddar

Chicken Gravy:

6 tablespoons butter

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup chicken stock

1 cup milk

Salt and pepper

Directions

Add the chicken to a large stockpot, cover with water and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30

minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and set aside.

Reserve 3 1/3 cups of the broth (1 cup is for the chicken gravy, supplement with boxed stock if you don't have enough.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/3 cups of the reserved broth, the Chicken Gravy, green chiles, onions, garlic, sour cream, cumin,

salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.

Spread 1 cup of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of 6 tortillas over the mixture, and then top with 1 cup

shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar. Repeat this layer three more times, ending with cheese. Spread any remaining mix-

ture over the cheese. Make sure all of the tortillas are covered or they will get very hard during baking. Bake uncovered for 30

minutes.

Chicken Gravy:

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until

the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the stock and milk and continue to stir while cook-

ing over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, after about 5 minutes, whisk in some salt and pepper.

Chicken Noodle Soup by Tyler Florence

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices

2 celery ribs, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

4 fresh thyme sprigs

1 bay leaf

2 quarts chicken stock, recipe follows

8 ounces dried wide egg noodles

1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Chicken Stock:

1 whole free-range chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), rinsed, giblets discarded

2 carrots, cut in large chunks

3 celery stalks, cut in large chunks

2 large white onions, quartered

1 head of garlic, halved

1 turnip, halved

1/4 bunch fresh thyme

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Directions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Place a soup pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme and bay leaf. Cook and stir

for about 6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but not browned. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the liquid to a boil.

Add the noodles and simmer for 5 minutes until tender. Fold in the chicken, and continue to simmer for another couple of

minutes to heat through; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Chicken Stock:

Place the chicken and vegetables in a large stockpot over medium heat. Pour in only enough cold water to cover (about 3 quarts);

too much will make the broth taste weak. Toss in the thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and allow it to slowly come to a boil.

Lower the heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, partially covered, until the chicken is done. As it cooks,

skim any impurities that rise to the surface; add a little more water if necessary to keep the chicken covered while simmering.

Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board. When its cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones; hand-shred the meat

into a storage container.

Carefully strain the stock through a fine sieve into another pot to remove the vegetable solids. Use the stock immediately or if you

plan on storing it, place the pot in a sink full of ice water and stir to cool down the stock. Cover and refrigerate for up to one week

or freeze.

Yield: 2 quarts
