Face Mask Frequently
Asked Questions
The Governor has announced that
the Oregon Face Mask Mandates
to include requiring masks be worn
both inside at all times as well as
outside when distancing cannot be
maintained regardless of vaccina-
tion status. These measures are be-
ing taken due to the increased
spread of the COVID-19 Delta Vari-
ant as well as the increased hospi-
talization rates. At this time it could
be helpful to address some fre-
quently asked questions/
comments:
1. We are a private organization
and do not have to comply: This is
incorrect, while we are a private
organization open to only mem-
bers and guests we are still required
to comply with the mandate. The
Administrative rule clearly defines a
business as “an individual, organi-
zation, or entity engaged in com-
mercial, industrial, or professional
activities” and an indoor space as
“anywhere indoors, including but
not limited to public and private
workplaces, businesses, indoor are-
as open to the public, building lob-
bies, common or shared spaces,
classrooms, elevators, bathrooms,
transportation services, and other
indoor space where people may
gather for any purpose”. These def-
initions clearly include our lodges.
2. What kind of face covering is ac-
ceptable: The rules define a face
covering as “a cloth, polypropyl-
ene, paper or other face covering
that covers the nose and the
mouth and that rests snugly above
the nose, below the mouth, and on
the sides of the face. Face cover-
ings are not a covering that incor-
porates a valve that is designed to
facilitate easy exhalation, mesh
masks, lace masks, or other cover-
ings with openings, holes, visible
gaps in the design or material, or
vents”. This means that face masks
need to be properly worn and not
held against the face, worn below
the nose, and that material such as
shirts, jackets, mesh, or napkins
cannot be held against the face in
place of a face covering as de-
fined above.
3. When can I take my face cover-
ing off: When you are seated at a
table actively eating or drinking,
engaged in activity that is not pos-
sible while wearing a mask, or sing-
ing a song for Karaoke you may
remove your mask. When walking
up to the bar, playing pool, playing
poker, or otherwise not engaged in
one of the exempted activities you
must wear your face covering at all
times.
4. I am not able to wear a mask: If
someone is unable to wear a mask
due to a disability under the Ameri-
cans with Disabilities Act a lodge
should offer reasonable accommo-
dations. However this does not
mean someone can come in and
not wear a mask. Examples of rea-
sonable accommodation include
providing curbside service for carry
out meals, pick up windows, etc..
For accommodations related to
lodge meetings, please consult
with your District Deputy Grand
Exalted Ruler or District Advisor.
Under the administrative rules, a
lodge is responsible under the rules
for enforcing the mask mandate
and can be fined up to $500 per
day per violation if reported. For
further information on mask man-
dates you may consult with the
Oregon Health Authority or your
local public health agency.

Exalted Ruler’s Message 2021-22 Exalted Ruler
Marie Ammon
Just a little information from Grand
Lodge Secretary:
The past year and a half have
been tumultuous, to say the least.
Longstanding projects were shaken
up, canceled, or reworked entirely.
Help is available! Members in need
of help can qualify for up to $1,000
of assistance from the Order under
Section 5.070 of the Grand Lodge
Statutes.
This assistance would be available
to “worthy and needy Members of
the Order who are suffering from
diseases of an incurable character
or from total disability, and who are
without funds or property or rela-
tives able or willing to care for
them,” the Statute states. The Stat-
ute also provides that the Lodge of
the assisted Member “shall contrib-
ute toward the relief of the Member
an amount not 3331 less than one-
half of the sum that is contributed
by the Order.” The assistance pro-
gram is administered by the Board
of Grand Trustees, which is author-
ized to appropriate up to $10,000
annually for the program. The
Board, by resolution, may give the
Grand Exalted Ruler up to $1,000 so
that authorized payments may be
made
regularly by him. “The monies so
appropriated shall be administered
by the Grand Exalted Ruler with the
consent of a majority of the Board
of Grand Trustees,” the Statute
states.

October's Elk events will bring
about many opportunities for us to
share in fun and fellowship, but it
can also be a time for us to reflect
on friends and family that are no
longer with us. Dia de los Muertos,
or Day of the Dead is regarded by
many for just this purpose. This Dia
de los Muertos I will be thinking of
a special friend to the lodge,
Stephanie Deatherage.
Stephanie was a frequent guest of
mine, participating in Bingo, setting
up a vendor booth at the monthly
bizarre hosted by the lodge, and
notoriously ordering at least a doz-
en poppers at every Fish Fry. Steph
loved the pancakes at the monthly
breakfast and looked forward to
working on ways that she could
help support the Elk's mission to
provide for the children of Cottage
Grove. On September 11, Stepha-
nie lost her life to Covid-19 after
spending 16 days in the ICU. She
leaves behind five children and
three stepchildren.
As I participate in the events held
this month, I will do so to the fullest
in her honor knowing how much
she enjoyed being a small part of
our organization.
If you would like to connect
with our community and lend
a helping hand at the same
time, consider volunteering at
the Lodge! Please call 541-942
-3554 to learn more about the
opportunities that await you!

Reports
How to Spot The Signs
Your Kid is Using Drugs
Most parents we meet tell us that
they wish they knew the signs their
kid was using drugs. With a bit of
training, you can begin to recog-
nize the warning signs. First off, ex-
perts agree that you should have
some sense of what’s going on by
examining certain elements of their
daily life and most of all, use your
senses. If you suspect that your
child is using drugs, a process of
observing, investigating and moni-
toring your child is the first step. If
you’re seeing strong signs of addic-
tion, the next discussion with your
child should be very direct – ask
them point-blank if they’re using
substances. If you have any doubt,
go to a local drug store and buy an
in-home drug test kit. It is your right
as a parent to demand that any
child living under your roof submit
to a drug test.
Use Your Nose to Find the
Signs Your Kid is Using Drugs
One sniff of your kid’s laundry
should tell you a lot. Marijuana and
cigarettes have strong odors that
are difficult to hide. At the very,
very least, you should be checking
your child’s laundry. Odd smells are
a pretty good reason to arouse
your suspicion. It could be a new
interest in deodorant or a heady
smell of marijuana-laced smoke. If
you don’t know what marijuana
smells like, it’s time to educate your-
self. We don’t suggest smoking it
yourself, but you may be able to
ask a friendly cop to show you a
sample.
Look Them in the Eyes
When your child gets home after
going out with her friends, take a
close look. Pay attention to his or
her eyes. Eyes will be red and
heavy-lidded, with constricted pu-
pils if they’ve used marijuana. Pupils
will be dilated, and he or she may
have difficulty focusing if they’ve
been drinking. In addition, red,
flushed color to the face and
cheeks can also be a sign of drink-
ing.
Do They Have a Car?
Check their car, too. Smell the in-
side of the car, check the ashtray (if
your car has one) and look for evi-
dence of drug paraphernalia, mari-
juana residue, rolling papers or oth-
er items that are questionable.
Check every pocket, in every cor-
ner, under the floormats front and
rear, in all the armrest pockets and
in the trunk, including under the
trunk mat.
Watch for Mood Changes
How does your teen act after a
night out with friends? Are they loud
and obnoxious, or laughing hysteri-
cally at nothing? Unusually clumsy
to the point of stumbling into furni-
ture and walls, tripping over their
own feet and knocking things over?
Sullen, withdrawn, and unusually
tired and slack-eyed for the hour of
night? Do they look queasy and
stumble into the bathroom? These
are all signs that they could have
been drinking, using marijuana or
other drugs.
Check their Bedroom
This includes drawers, under the
bed, in their desk, in high, hard to
reach places and inside of any tin,
box, bag, container, including vid-
eo game boxes, DVD cases, and so
on. Paraphernalia for drug use in-
clude roll-ups and tin boxes. For
other drugs, it could be syringes
and burnt teaspoons. If you see a
tin box, open it and take a sniff. If it
smells like tobacco, it probably is.
When you find something that has
an unidentifiable smell, ask your kid
about it.
Look for Signs of Tobacco Use
or Vaping Pen Use
When children or young adults start
smoking or vaping, chances are
high that they learned it from some-
one else. If not a 3006 parent, then
a peer. And if your child’s peers are
using tobacco or vaping, there’s a
good chance that they may be
using marijuana. Smoking and mari-
juana usage are gateways to fur-
ther experimentation with illicit sub-
stances.

These things are the bare minimum
you should be checking. If you’re
not willing to do at least these
things, you’re not doing all you
could be doing. Remember that
any child living under your roof is
subject to your rules and condi-
tions. They have no rights and no
say as to what you as a parent
deem to be acceptable when it
comes to monitoring their behavior
for signs of drug use. You must also
remember that you’re their parent
– not their friend – and as such,
there should be little discussion or
negotiations as to what you as a
parent will accept.

A History Lesson:
The Birth and Legacy of
the Elks National Hoop
Shoot Program
In 1946, Frank Hise walked past a
playground in Corvallis, Oregon,
and saw a group of children play-
ing basketball. His attention was
drawn to the children on the side-
lines who could not compete be-
cause they were not tall, fast, or
strong enough to keep up. Hise ap-
proached the group, stopped the
game, and lined the children up for
a free-throw contest. It was the first
iteration of what we now know of
as the Elks Hoop Shoot. Every child
on the court that day had a
chance to step up to the line and
take their shot, 3116 and that is
what the Hoop Shoot program is all
about. It creates a level playing
field and a contest that is fair and
equal, involving just the shooter, the
ball, and the net.
Participants in the Elks Hoop Shoot
program often go on to do amaz-
ing things, on and off the court. In
the world of basketball, notable
alumni include NBA Hall of Famer
Chris Mullin, college coach Steve
Alford, and current and former
WNBA players Jackie Stiles, Kristi Toli-
ver, Karlie Samuelson, and Seimone
Augustus. It is a legacy program,
too. Many past Hoop Shoot partici-
pants and national champions get
their own children involved in the
program. Lisa Shepherd, a 1993 na-
tional champion, is the mother of
2020 National Finalist Kayla Stidham.
Kayla is also the niece of 1985 Na-
tional Champion Stacie Shepherd.

Being Brave: What the
Hoop Shoot Program
Teaches Its Participants
The Hoop Shoot program teaches
children many things. It teaches
them to work hard toward their
goals. It teaches them determina-
tion and good sportsmanship. It
helps them develop grit and teach-
es them to be brave, but it also
does something else. It encourages
a sense of community, and it is not
uncommon for past participants to
stay connected to the program.
Children who age out of the con-
test are encouraged to stay in-
volved by volunteering at all levels
of the competition, and once they
turn eighteen, they can apply to
become a member of the Hoop
Shoot Alumni Advisory Board,
known as the BackBoard. Madigan
Moore competed in the Girls 8–9
Division in 2006. She joined the
BackBoard in 2019 and was excited
to help mentor participants in the
2019–2020 Hoop Shoot season. “The
Hoop Shoot really taught me a lot
about bravery,” Moore says. “That
has played through my journey and
academics and my goals.” The
Hoop Shoot also taught Moore how
to grow from disappointment, to
persevere in the face of failure,
and to take life and its experiences
with the good and the bad. Moore
embodies what the Hoop Shoot
aims to teach—grit. She has the
courage to fail, and when that
happens, she has the discipline to
focus and bounce back. “Your fail-
ures are not final,” Moore says. “It’s
about what you can learn from
them, and ultimately, they do
shape your character and help you
to become a better individual.” —

Name game: Elks take
field in CFL By Mike Chamernik Publications Coordinator
This summer, after a year-long
search for a new moniker, the
Edmonton franchise in the Cana-
dian Football League changed its
name to the Edmonton Elks.
Formerly the Eskimos, the 14-time
Grey Cup champions chose Elks
over other names including the
Evergreens, Eagles, Eclipse, and
Elkhounds. The team retains its
“EE” initials and green-and-gold
color scheme.
According to the team’s press
release that announced the
name change: “After lengthy de-
bate, consultation with linguistics
experts from the Oxford Diction-
ary and the [University of Alber-
ta’s] linguistics department, the
name ‘Elks’ was finally chosen,
adding the ‘s’ to the original
choice ‘Elk’. The new name re-
flects the speed, strength, and
resilience of the Green and Gold
and Northern Alberta.”
“Elks” is a relatively uncommon
team name. According to Mas-
cotDB.com, a database of nick-
names for high school, college,
and pro teams in the United
States and Canada, only 42 ac-
tive or defunct teams have used
the name “Elks.” Many have the
word “Elk” in the school or city
name (for example, the Elk Creek
Elks). A handful of other teams go
by variations including “Elkhorns”
and “Elkettes.” No teams go by
“Elk.”
T he CFL season runs through De-
cember.
