Thurs., Sept. 8, 1977 (Sec 1) SANDY (Ore.) POST - 7 From page one Private zoo provides company Judy and Charlie met while Judy’s fam ily was vacationing in the mountain area, and they dated while Judy was majoring in art at the University of Oregon. C harlie studied physical education and business administration, o btaining a degree from P ortland State University. The lifetim e mountain resident has participated in competitive skiing, ski instructing and developed an interest in the ski business while working at Multopor-Ski Bowl during weekends while attending Sandy High School. He still offers a few lessons at Tim berline during spare moments, and is known to ski from Timberline to his Rhododendron home adjacent to the Mt. Hood National Forest. That trip takes from 14 to 3 hours, depending on snow conditions. “ I t ’s such a way to relax after a day.” The Lakes, like many area residents, hold an awe for Timberline Lodge. "People sometimes take it for granted,” said Judy. “ There’s nothing like it in quality, workmanship, history.” "Tim berline is one of a kind,” said an enthusiastic Charlie. He is a strong supporter of preserving the historic significance of the rustic lodge which this fall w ill mark its 40th an niversary. Draperies, rugs and furniture coverings are being handmade for the anniversary by Friends of Timberline and workmen from the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act. Refurnished furniture is redone to match the original craft work in the lodge. T here’s a ce rta in m ystique that surrounds the lodge, C harlie acknowledged. “ Everyone who comes here thinks i t ’s theirs,” said the man in charge of the structure's maintenance. In a sense it is because the lodge is federally owned. "T hat’s okay—let them think that. I think i t ’s great.” His attitude toward opening his home to orphaned animals and his delight is seeing visitors appreciate Timberline Ixxlge is reflected in his way of viewing Mt. Hood. "There’s room for everyone,” he said, adding that he’s never seen the mountain so crowded that a person couldn’t do what he came to do. " I f it ’s crowded over there,” he gestured, " I ’m going to go in the other direction.” As a testimony to the attraction that the lodge and Mt. Hood has to people all over the United States, Charlie said he received numerous letters after an Associated Press wire story featured him and discussed his work at Timberline. Some readers wrote that they had seen the lodge; others that they someday hoped to visit Oregon and Timberline. Charlie has climbed the famed mountain so many times that he’s stopped counting He took his daughter Wendy to the summit for the first time when she was 6-years-old. "He told me one night that he was going to climb the mountain with Wendy," recalled Judy. " I laughed.” The next day the fete was accomplished. "She walked all the way up,” Judy said. "She takes after her father.” The Lakes were living near Henry Creek in Rhododendron when one day Judy said, " I think i t ’s time we had our own house.” The location tapped was on property owned by Charlie’s mother and father, a well-known logger in the area. Charlie’s brother John and his fam ily live on the other half of the property. The Lakes started the home with a chainsaw, and did the work and land scaping themselves. The house and outdoor “ zoo” continue to grow as the Lakes keep obtaining more pets and adding to their craftsmanship. " I t ’s still not finished,” Charlie said. "Those things never are.” Fall Flower Festival to follow tradition An English tradition w ill come to life in Wemme on Friday, Sept 16. That’s the day members of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration w ill hold their first Fall Flower Festival and silver tea from 2 to 5 p.m. at St. John’s Church. Throughout England it is the custom each fall in many villages to beautify the chur ches with fall foliage, flowers and harvest bounty. Proceeds from the tea w ill be used to purchase a font for the church. Interested persons are invited to enter a display of th e ir fa v o rite flow er arrangement. Those entering the Fall Flower Festival are asked to *)ring their arrangement to the (hurch between 10 a m and 1 p.m on Sept. 16 Ribbons w ill be awarded for each of the several categories and a prize w ill be given for the best overall exhibit For more information or to reserve a space call Pat Aeppli at 622-4680 or Beth Baker at 622- 4678 Breakfast cereal market proves highly competitive Breakfast cereals are among the mo6t varied and com p e titiv e products in the supermarket, says M arilyn Lunner, Oregon State University Extension home economist fo r Clackamas County. Americans spend over a billion dollars a year on cereals, and three-quarters of that is spent on ready-to-eat varieties. "Read the label” is the rule for a shopper confused by the array of cereals on the shelves. All packages contain a listing of ingredients in their order of predominance by weight. In addition, every cereal now bears a nutritional label. "Comparing labels is helpful to consumers who want cereals rich in a particular nutrient, like iron, or who want to avoid sugar, sodium or preser vatives, says Lunner. Nutritional labels are usually based on a 1-ounce serving An ounce of a cereal which needs to be cooked usually fills only about a quarter of a cup, while an ounce of the prepared cereal w ill fill a cup or a cup and a quarter "Regular or quick-cooking oatmeal is usually the most economical cereal at a cost of about 3 cents per serving,” the home economist notes. "Ready-to-eat cereals in nearly the same size boxes range in cost from 5 to 9 cents per ser ving.” Sugar-coated cereals are more expensive than their uncoated counterparts. M oreover, although the giant-sized boxes offer some savings, there is little different between the small and the medium boxes. Cereals (both hot and col) in individual serving packages and cereals highly fortified with nutrients are usually the expensive, she says.
