SENIORS from page 1A The recipe he plans to post to the blog this week is a chicken parmesan with vodka sauce, which he pre- pared for residents Monday night. The blog features pic- tures, detailed instructions and even videos for some of the harder steps of the processes, as well as a vari- ety of regional foods, such as Hungarian goulash, Or- egon Coast clam chowder, shrimp gumbo and Italian sausage soup. “The best way is to pick simple recipes that aren’t too complicated,” Charles said about those wanting to start off cooking from COLLARD from page 1A Frank Suniga is 90 years old who, along with his wife Zelda, have owned prop- erty on Collard Lake Road for decades. He has spoken with numerous county offi- cials during that time in the hopes of persuading com- missioners to help with the upkeep of the road. From Suniga’s perspec- tive, residents pay property taxes and that should be the single most important fac- tor when deciding on a fair outcome. Suniga was one of several from his neighborhood who spoke at a meeting of the Board of County Commis- sioners earlier this summer. “I’ve owned this property for 41 years and my neigh- bors and I have paid a lot in taxes up here for years. We’ve had five or more meetings over the years, but this was a very good meet- ing,” Suniga said. “There scratch. “We use lots of fresh goodies and as many homemade ingredients as possible. And just stick with it, as there is a learn- ing curve. You’ll be healthi- er and happier for it.” Shorewood Senior Liv- ing is just one of the exhib- itors at the seventh annual Good Life Boomer and Senior Expo on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Florence Events Center, 715 Quince.

Jay [Bo- zeivich] made the motion and it was passed. We final- ly made it.” Bozievich was pleased to share the fact that the repair had taken place and added a major development on the matter in an email to the Siuslaw News. “It is my understanding that our crews completed the emergency repair of the slide caused by a tree falling that was of concern to the residents. I have re- ceived multiple emails and phone messages about what an excellent job our Public Works Road Crew did in completing the work. I am always proud of the work they do,” Bozievich said. The more important news for the dozens of driv- ers that make their way up and down the narrow, twist- ing road on a regular basis, had to do with the future safety of those residents. From now on, Lane County will be responsible for maintaining what will now be known officially as County Road No. 2216. “Lane County Order 19- 09-10-04 establishes Col- lard Lake Road as County Road No. 2216, located in Section 36, Township 17 South, Range 12 West and Section 1, Township 18 South, Range 12 West, Wil- lamette Meridian,” reads the official order. Bozievich was pleased that the Lane County Com- mission had accepted his recommendation to finally change the status of Collard Lake Road and be officially responsible for future main- tenance and repairs. “The board passed an order formally making Col- lard Lake Road a County maintained road in our Sept. 10 meeting. This was the end of a long effort by the community to get the county to complete a pro- cess that began in 1976,” he said. “Collard Lake Road is unique in Lane County among LARs, which are public roadways that are privately maintained. Col- lard Lake Road is both one of the longest LARs while also having the most homes and building sites with a single access. The unique status and the previous Board’s legislative intent in 1976 allowed me to argue for the County to take the road into the system for public maintenance along with strong testimony from the residents.” For more information on the Lane County Board of Commissioners, vis- it lanecounty.org/govern ment/county_departments/ board_of_county_commis sioners.
