Eagle’s Lodge,heads up food concessions at ‘17 EXPO Eagle’s By Robert Meredith of Lake County Examiner Lodge Lakeview is a fraternal organization that bonds through social interests in the community and once again will be on hand at the Expo on Saturday, Feb. 25 at the fairgrounds to discuss its organization and to run a concession stand.

Annual membership is $45 for men and $25 for women. Becoming a Lodge member is a serious undertaking as the group involves itself in holding wedding and funeral arrangements when larger facilities are required for the event. Moreover, the Lodge caters to homes or halls including barbeque, just about wherever they can assist. “We are people, helping people,” Lodge member Luann Anderson said. “We’ve helped athletic teams or raising money for someone needing a

Wellness & Prevention Center offer services at EXPO By Robert Meredith Lake County Examiner

Lake District Wellness Center has two booths planned for the Lake County Expo to discuss or to interact with s interested attendees about building positive life skills or discussing potential mental wellness problems. Prevention Coordinator Francie Winters is scheduled to oversee an interactive exhibit that stresses positive reinforcement. “Through prevention I can help people build life skills,” Winters said. “This is about making better choices.” Problem solving games will be available for youngsters to help them recognize challenges they might encounter. “I am planning to

Heidi Martinez, clinical supervisor, (l-r), and Trace Wosner, director of the Lake District Wellness Center, are preparing for a booth at the Lake County Expo. have a Wheel of Misfortune,” Winters said. “This is designed to test kids on facts regarding health issues to help them seek details as they move forward.” The Wheel of Misfortune is designed as an enrichment activity to build confidence of younger persons. Enrichment through

confidence building is a teachable moment achieved with positive reinforcement. “Children must not feel pressured. They must be able to explain and discuss,” Winters said. “It’s not about what to think, but how to think.” The use of arts or performing arts is a tool to help children find

a voice to express what they feel or see. “Children need a way to properly express themselves,” Winters said. “This can help them avoid risky behaviors.” Trace Wosner, director of the Lake County Wellness Center, is scheduled to preside over a separate booth at the Expo with an overriding theme of mental health. Free depression screenings and substantive information on the services offered by the Wellness Center will be available to Expo goers. For those who are or might be considering a depression screening this is an opportunity to speak with someone who could provide guidance. In order to conduct a screening a THQ9 form must be completed. “The THQ9 form is designed to explore

symptoms of depression,” Wosner said. “It will determine if services are needed.” Experts are trained to carefully listen to vocal patterns, word selection and nonverbal communications in order to ask the right questions and derive an educated answer. Information on alcohol and drug treatment, group therapy and the expansion of services into Christmas Valley will be available for interested visitors. Wosner added that the Wellness Center should have new clinician hired in about two to three weeks and that will double attention needed at the drug and alcohol treatment court. The Lake County Wellness Center is located at 215 N. G St. and can be contacted at 541947-6021.

Happy Horse Deli to Sponsor Food Demonstration Lake CounBy Jimmy Hall Examiner’s Lake County Examiner ty semi-regular food columnist and Lakeview High School and Daly Middle School culinary arts teacher, June Dick, will present a food demonstration at the Lake County Expo, slated for Saturday, Feb. 25 at 10:30 a.m. on stage at Exhibit Hall 1. This demonstration is being sponsored by Happy Horse Deli. During her demo, Dick will go through all the necessary steps that it takes to make the most delicious blueberry breakfast cake and baked taquitos. The breakfast cake comes from resounding positive comments from her son’s, Tate’s, graduation party. The 200 plus people who partook had nothing but praise for her edible creation, which has a brown sugar crumble on top. She will show the group of Expo attendees how to assemble all the ingredients correctly in a 9x13-inch pan, with a brown sugar crumble on top. She said that it’s easy to put together, though her forte, she admits, has always been baking. She cited her sections of baking in the classroom might be classified as overdone, she laughs. Her second demonstration is her baked taquitos, which she calls a simple recipe and a family favorite. “When I

ask my kids what they want they’ll say they want this,” she said. Usually, Dick uses whatever is left over, whether baked chicken or beef rather than fried, making for a more healthy choice. As the Examiner’s culinary columnist, Dick has had a lot of good feedback from her readers. “I’ve had people who said that the Cowboy Cookies recipe is just like the cookies that they had when they were younger,” she recalled. “It’s nice to know that people are reading my column.” All the recipes that she contributes comes from inspiration from a few food blogs along with tinkering with familiar recipes that she has mastered and put her own twist. “I like coming up with recipes,” she added. The recipes she usually features has to do with upcoming occasions on the calendar, whether it is for the Super Bowl, holidays or other inspirations that comes her way. In the early 2000’s she made baked goods through her Simply Sweets located upstairs at NAPA. She found success selling cakes to her customers, which has continued to this day, making cakes for her friends and families’ special occasions. Taking the teaching job at the schools came the desire to pass along her knowl-

edge and passion for the culinary world. Though not trained in teaching, she was able to obtain a license because of a CTE course she could use hours in the field that could go toward it. She has been teaching at the high school for three years, feeling that she is settled in with her curriculum quite well. Dick said she demos hearty and simple food with easily accessible ingredients, something that she has carried into her column.

Lockers plan beer and wine tasting at EXPO La kev By Robert Meredith Lake County Examiner iew Lockers is a longtime community establishment scheduled to attend the Expo gathering as a reintroduction to its wares and services to those who stop by on Saturday, Feb. 25 at the Lake County Fairgrounds. Owner and operator, Kayla Mathews, said she would have four unique brews as well as four special wines on hand to sample at $10 per person. Mathews added that the majority of her brews are Oregon based. “I also plan to have some beers brewed by my father, Gerald Slay for sale this next fall,” Mathews said. Although only four brews and four wines will be presented at the anticipated event, significantly more than beverages will be available for Expo goers. Mathews said she would be offering tantalizing snacks with a variety of zesty flavors, such as jerky, snack sticks and summer sausage. She will not be cooking during the Expo. Lakeview Lockers is currently closed but is scheduled to reopen at on Thursday, March 2. The most no-

County community since 1940 and when it reopens the catering services Mathews has always provided will be in once again in full bloom. Summer barbeques, winter family dinners and more will not disappoint the Lakeview community. A nifty selection of beer, wine, meat and cheese as well as homemade products like jerky and snack sticks are always on hand and available to consume, purchase as a surprise gift or for a special occasion. Friday night dinners at the Lakeview Elks Lodge are now proudly being served by Lakeview Lockers to the Elks membership. Mathews is also seeking to add a new member to her Lakeview Locker team. The new employee will be scheduled to work in a retail environment, Wednesday through Saturday. “An interior expansion is in the works,” Mathews said. “I plan to have a larger retail area and a brewery in the near future.” Lakeview Lockers can be reached at 541-947-3789 or found on Facebook emailed at lakeviewlockers@centurytel.net and is located at 207 N.

Natural methods offered at DoTerra booth By Robert Meredith Lake County Examiner

During the potentially dizzying pace of the Expo 2017 scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 25 at the Lake County Fairgrounds a simple headache or body ache could spoil a good time, unless goers seek a natural method to ease the pain. “This is a nice alternative approach to alleviate aches and pains,” Sandy Taylor said. “It is all natural with no side effects.” Although natural oils are an attractive method to alleviate aches and pains misuse can occur unless a potential user is educated or directed on the use of oil. Taylor said she holds classes to explain the appropriate use and mixtures of natural oils. “The oils are very strong,” Taylor said. “Those thinking about an alternative pain reliever must be in-

structed on its correct use.” Taylor holds in home classes, group or one-on-one, to instruct clients on proper mixing recipes and the overall use of natural oils. Oils are easy to mix but the process or recipe must be learned and understood before using a product. One product called “On Guard” is a hand sanitizer that is a blend of six different oils with a very specific recipe that must be closely observed. Natural oil mixtures are not meant to replace prescriptions issued by a physician, nor as replacement for consulting with a physician. Consulting with a physician before use is the path to travel before using natural oil mixtures, especially if doubt exists, to assuage any concerns. During the Expo Taylor will be holding a drawing that includes free products and

recipes as well as an auction for a basket of yet to be determined goodies. Natural oils only are meant to replace over the counter items that fill a medicine cabinet, such as aspirin, sanitizers and cough medicines. “Like over the counter products,” Taylor said. “There is a very individual response to alternative products.” Taylor deals in products from doTERRA that are raised where they are grown best to ensure that only high quality products are available for her clients. Taylor said she keeps some inventory and that she is able to quickly fulfill orders. For those interested in an alternative method to health care, Taylor can be reached at 541-219-6034 to schedule a consultation.

Darryl and Beverly Bender will bring with them a good selection of apparel, banners and other promotional items at the Lake County Expo.

Promo gear and more by Benders Bender’s Promotional Products By Jimmy Hall and Supplies is in the business of adverLake County Examiner tising local several entities with print on cloth and more. Whether it is for Pardue Construction, Hall Motor Company, Cornerstone Minerals or another nearby company who sports shirts that are emblazoned with their logo, you can be rest assured that it came from the Lakeview location on E Street. Darryl and Beverly Bender, the company’s namesakes, will be promoting themselves for a worthwhile change as they host a booth at this year’s Lake County Expo. Their yellow feather flag will make their presence known in one of the exhibit halls of the Lake County Fairgrounds. With them, the pair will bring a great assortment of shirts, sweatshirts and other apparel to show. A catalog will be available at their table to show what they couldn’t fit into their booth but is readily available if needed by their customers. Bender’s will be offering a 20 percent discount on orders made at the Expo. Bender’s is the premiere place to go for customizable clothing, promotional products, signs and banners and has been that

way for a quite the time. The Bender’s have been in the county for 32 years, settling into the area to become involved in the cowcalf operation. Darryl was a rancher for 15 years on an operation north of Lakeview. He partnered with his brother Robert Bender and Al Monaco to handle all ranch operations. Though the operation went by the wayside, the Bender’s still live there to take care of equipment. Among the integral businesses that keep Lakeview running, Bender’s also helps promote the annual Lake County Fair with their customized shirts and sweatshirts each year, keeping the ranching traditional alive through apparel. These are always a hot item, selling out year after year. The local venture opened in 1992, which at the time included photography and framing, developing into what they have now. Any shirt, sweatshirt, trophy, banner or more can be customized through their homegrown services. They also print promotional banners that endorse Lake County events. For more information, contact Bender’s at 541-947-5255 or drop by its storefront at 102 N. E St. in Lakeview.

ROBERT MEREDITH Lake County Examiner

Beverly Hills is the proprietor of Jitterbug Rugs, a homemade creative way to make original hooked rugs or wall coverings under her expert guidance.

Jitterbug Rugs, personalized and customized Beverly By Robert Meredith selected Lake County Examiner Hills Jitterbug Rugs for her love of the art of rug hooking original handmade products. “I started rug hooking about 2005,” Hills said. “It is an American folk art that started with the use of burlap, materials and nails to make a rug.” The materials used by Hills for her artistic rug making is handspun, hand dyed and uncycled yarns on a linen foundation. She added that the rugs are simple to make and extremely durable for everyday use. “Eventually, I plan to use all local materials,” Hills said. “I really want to support the community while doing this

American craft.” Participation strongly allows for experimentation and personal choice to manage what is a very personal artistic endeavor. There are three types of rugs, geometrics, florals and tapestries. “I’ve used up to 100 colors in one rug,” Hills said. “But the color choices are up to the rug maker, alone.” Once a project has begun it can be stopped and restarted by the rug maker, as this craft is not permanently anchored unless the maker has arrived at that decision. Hills offers classes in the art of rug making by appointment only. During her sessions Hills encourages creativity to permeate the moment because there is no wrong or right choice in color, size or

shape while hooking a creation. “This is a portable, simple uncomplicated craft,” Hills said. “It is not just for women, nearly 10 percent of rug makers are men.” Hills said her creations have been shown at the Living History Day in Chiloquin and Foxes Studios. During Expo, Hills is scheduled to have eight colorful rugs for sale. Not only will Hills have the tools, fabrics and patterns necessary to engage in this craft, she will give demonstrations as well. “This is a portable activity,” Hills said. “Anyone wanting instructions can make an appointment in advance.” Hills can be reached at 541-947-4096 or via email at jitterbugrugs@live.com.

Lakeview Gardens to showcase cottage construction By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Lake Health District’s Lakeview Gardens long-term care will bring with them to the Lake County Expo information about the new cottages that are on the last legs of construction. According to Melinda Utley, director of long-term care and Chief Nursing Officer, there will be presenting any and all up-todate information about the cottages, including completion dates, costs, interior samples and details. There will also be pictures of the current state of the cottages to show at their table along with a large blowup of the floor plan. Utley said that the

date of completion looks for keys to be turned over from the Adroit Construction Company, the project’s general contractor, to be around Memorial Day weekend. Before move ins can take place, approval is needed by the State, Department of Human Services and the Fire Marshal. Gardens representatives will also have an admission list for any interested in moving into any of the facilities to put their name down. There will also be an open house for the public to go through each cottage before residents can move into the facilities. There are three cottages currently under construction, one is an assisted living

Between the two levels of care will be a park for residents to enjoy. Each building has been given a name

that will be landscaped accordingly. The assisted living will be named Lily Home while the two long term care buildings will be called Wild Plum and Lilac. The

administration team wanted the names to be appropriate for the area to fit accordingly. The cottages will fit 24 long term care beds and 12 assisted living. District administration hopes that the cottages will help fill the need for the increase of the baby boomer generation who will hit retirement age in the coming years. Lakeview Gardens will have a door prize giveaway that will be a gift basket with a theme of “gardens.” Included will be a gift certificate to Bloomers Nursery among other garden goodies.
