From Sunriver Scene news sources Given the continued trend of hot and dry conditions, and fire suppression resources already responding to numerous wildfires around Central Oregon, the Prineville District Bureau of Land Management, the Deschutes National Forest and the Ochoco National Forest, including the Crooked River National Grassland, implemented campfire restrictions and restricted industrial activity effective July 10. Campfires, warming fires and cooking fires, including charcoal fires, portable propane campfires, biomass or particle wood-burning stoves, and wood pellet grills or smokers, are prohibited on Forest Service and BLM lands, except in established fire rings at designated campgrounds. Wilderness: These campfire restrictions apply to all wildernesses on Forest Service and BLM lands. Please note that biomass or particle wood-burning stoves are not allowed in wilderness this year due to the severity of fuel conditions.

The buzz on mosquitoes By Susan Berger Mosquitoes in and around Sunriver can be bad in any given year. As part of the natural environment, only so much can be done to battle these biting, buzzing insects. “The mosquitoes this year are more active than in previous years,” said Chad Stubblefield, Four Rivers Vector Control District manager. “The reason for the spike is that period of high temperatures coupled with higher than normal river levels. We haven’t seen the water that high in a couple years.” As a result, a couple years worth of dormant eggs along the edges of marshes hatched. And, in some cases, water spilled into the tree line and hatched even more mosquitoes. Unfortunately, a mosquito can fly 10-20 miles looking for a blood meal, which only the females require for egg development to hatch the next generation. Mosquitoes generally feed on flower nectar, juices and decaying matter. The Sunriver Owners Association and other nearby communities contract annually with Four Rivers Vector Control. The district manages approximately 23 SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN. VOLUME XLI • NUMBER 8 P.O. BOX 3278 SUNRIVER, OR 97707

so we haven’t been able to do as much adult control as we’d like,” said Stubblefield. Adult fogging can only be done and effective after sunset when the temperature is 60 degrees or higher, winds no higher than 8 mph and no rain expected. In cooler temps the mosquitoes “bed down.” The fogging product must come into direct contact with a flying mosquito or is ineffective. The active adultacide ingredient is permethrin, and is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency for use in mosquito control. When applied correctly, permethrin does not pose any risk to humans, pets or the environment and is a common active ingredient in flea and tick collars, head lice shampoo and garden pest control products. Even if vector control was in Sunriver every day there would still be mosquitoes, but it would certainly be much worse without any control efforts. The mosquito season is usually over in September. “This is all part of living in a riverfront community,” said Stubblefield. “Regardless of how well we control them in our treatment area there will still be mosquitoes — but hopefully have seen the worst for the 2015 season.” Below are some tips for alleviating mosquitoes around your home. What you can do • Remove watery habitats. Mosquitoes can lay eggs in as little as 1/4 inch of water. • Eliminate standing water in rain gutters, old tires, flower

pots, buckets, tarps, spa covers, toys or other containers where mosquitoes breed and lay eggs. • Empty and change the water in bird baths, pet bowls, fountains, wading pools, rain barrels and potted plant trays every few days. • Drain temporary ponds/ pools and fill with dirt. • Keep hot tub and swimming pool water treated and circulating.

Lessen your exposure • Stay inside during the evening and early morning hours when mosquitoes are most active. The most common mosquito in this area is the aedes vexans, which can be active at all hours. • Use repellents with Deet or Picaridin and follow directions and precautions closely. Natural lemon eucalyptus oil can also deter mosquitoes. • Use head nets and wear loose-fitting, light-colored long sleeve shirts and long pants in areas with high mosquito populations. • Make sure window and door screens are bug tight. • Replace outdoor lights with Turn to Mosquitoes, page 4

campground, in boats on lakes and rivers, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is clear of all flammable material. Portable cooking stoves or lanterns using liquefied or bottled fuel may still be used in all areas. Use of explosive target material, such as Tannerite, explosives, and fireworks continue to be prohibited on all federal lands. Public use restrictions are not put in place to ruin camping experiences. Officials carefully consider the current fire situation, fuel moisture and predicted weather before making the decision to implement fire restrictions. Industrial fire precautions In addition to Public Use Restrictions, the Prineville BLM, Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and Crooked River National Grassland also moved to an Industrial Fire Precaution Level III (IFPL) as

of July 10. The IFPL applies to permitted and industrial operations, including woodcutting, on federal lands. IFPL III is considered a “partial shutdown” and restricts the use of chainsaws to loading sites on tractor/skidder operations to between the hours of 8 p.m. to 1 p.m. Only cable yarding systems that use nonmotorized systems are allowed. Industrial welding and mechanized loading operations are also restricted to the hours of 8 p.m. to 1 p.m. Industrial and permitted operations may request a waiver from the Forest Service or BLM depending on land ownership at the activity location. It is the responsibility of all operators to know and follow the requirements of the current fire precaution level. More information about both IFPL and Public Use Restrictions can be found at the www.fs.usda.gov/main/ deschutes/home

Ethanol free gas available at Sunriver Marketplace Sunriver residents and visitors in search of ethanol-free premium gasoline for boats, yard equipment, snowmobiles and high-performance automobiles, no longer need to drive to Bend or La Pine to find it. Ethanol-free premium is now available at the Sunriver Marketplace grocery and gas station on Cottonwood Road in Sunriver. “For some consumers ethanol-added gasoline is fine, but there are many who prefer the extra power and purity of ethanol free gas. It is also quite common to notice higher fuel mileage when using gasoline that doesn’t contain ethanol,” said John Audia, owner of the Sunriver Marketplace. Ethanol-free gasoline is rec-

ommended for older vehicles that use carburation to blend air and fuel, and for marine and other engines and fuel systems that sit for long periods between uses. The Marketplace emptied its underground plus grade tank to create storage capacity for the ethanol free premium. Audia said it cost about $12,000 to convert the underground tank and install a new ethanol free premium pump. “We will continue to offer regular, plus, and ‘V-Power NiTRO+ Premium,’ and diesel,” Audia said. “The plus grade gas is produced by combining regular and ‘V-Power+ Premium’ via computer and equipment, to obtain the proper octane.” The Marketplace acquires

Sunriver Resort honors John and Betty Gray with dedication On June 27, Sunriver Resort honored the legacy of John and Betty Gray by erecting a plaque and dedicating an iconic ponderosa pine tree in front of the main lodge building. Event attendees described the dedication as a fitting tribute for the Grays, who were great lovers of the outdoors and the environment. The Gray’s daughter Janet Gray Webster, Oregon State Rep. Gene Whisnant, naturalist Jay Bowerman and Joe Lymp, a former colleague of John Gray, all spoke at the dedication about the lasting impact the Grays had on the Sunriver community.

John Gray, the visionary developer behind Sunriver Resort, Salishan and Skamania Lodge, believed in being “sensitive to the landform and environment in which you’re planning to build, make it blend as much as you can with the local environment and local needs.” Gray was an advocate for responsible land use, instrumental in helping to pass Oregon Measure 49, which protected forestlands from commercial development. “Ecology ‘talk’ need not be just talk. A total community can be built in sympathy with the land, and with the animals, and with the people,” Gray said.

Fun memories of the Grays By Wes Perrin At the June 27 Gray dedication event, Jay Bowerman, Sunriver’s second resident naturalist, recalled renting the Gray’s Sunriver home during the early days of his employment. Jay said when he and Teresa eventually moved into their own quarters, they packed up all their worldly goods and, by mistake, a piece of framed artwork belonging to the Grays. However, many packages stayed unpacked until the Bowermans moved a second time to a larger house. Only after that did they finally unwrap everything and discovered the Gray’s artwork. Jay confessed that time flew by and he never quite got around to returning the artwork, until the Gray dedication ceremony. And with that declaration he plucked a package from behind him and placed it A Full Service Tree Co.

in Janet Gray’s hands. It was the long-missing Gray woodcut. Joe Lymp, the original maintenance manager of the Meadows golf course, shared a tale harkening back to the time when traps were first used to combat golf course gophers. The cadavers were fed to injured birds of prey at the nature center. Somehow a frozen package of gopher remains was placed in the Gray’s freezer. Turn to Memories, page 6

Two emerging artists exhibit at Sunriver Library

Watercolor and fused glass are in full spectrum at the Sunriver Library during the months of July and August. The two artists, Liz Haberman and Jane Morrow, have spent most of their lives working outside of the art world, but have activated their creative side with remarkable success. Liz Haberman’s watercolors are delightful, colorful and sometimes whimsical chapters in a story interpreted by the viewer. An abandoned bridal veil, a flying truck, or a serpent exploring terra cotta pottery are examples of her intriguing subject matter. Haberman worked as a recreation therapist and later, as an interior designer in west Los Angeles before coming to Oregon and settling at Crosswater with her husband, Paul. She was also a potter and took classes in jewelry making at UCLA. More recently, Haberman has studied watercolor painting with Helen Brown, Judy Morris and Myrna Wacknov. Her work has been juried into the Roberts Field Art shows and the Watercolor Society of Oregon’s biannual exhibits. She is a member of the Watercolor

Enjoy a variety of seasonal programming sunriver nature center & oregon observatory By Inti Morgan, Naturalist This summer the Sunriver Nature Center is offering a series of different programs for families and individuals; all the programs are designed to help visitors enjoy the area and learn about its natural wonders. Most people that visit Sunriver do so to enjoy the natural environment and the beautiful landscapes surrounding the region. The nature center and its group of naturalists are ready to help you maximize your experience through programs that are designed to educate people while also having fun outdoors. Some of the programs include guided bike rides or hikes, kids classes, workshops and family events. On Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays through Labor Day weekend, the nature center provides Bird Walks to visitors of all ages. This is a free event held at several locations including Bend’s Old Mill District, the Sunriver Resort, and the Nature Center as starting points for these guided hikes. Local bird experts will help you appreciate and learn about the

birds in our region. On Mondays at 10 a.m. we offer a free, guided Nature Trail Hike, perfect for any nature lover. Finally, free animal presentations are provided daily at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. In these presentations, a naturalist will bring visitors closer to our animal ambassadors. Twilight Tours are held every Wednesday and Friday night from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., allowing visitors to explore their natural surroundings at dusk. Recently, great horned owls, beavers, porcupines and otters have graced us with their presence. For families, the nature center provides our popular Family Eco Bike Tours. A naturalist will guide you on bike paths that run alongside the Deschutes River, the great meadow and the habitats in between. Guests can expect to learn a little about the history of Sunriver, Camp Abbott, and native flora and fauna. Finally, for children we facilitate Kid’s Camps, which run Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 a.m.

to 12 p.m. Kids explore different themes related to Sunriver’s ecosystem through classes that include Life in a Pond, Tracking the Wild Beast and Birds of Prey, among many others.

A Nonprofit Educational Organization

We welcome guests of all ages, alone or in company of friends and family, to enjoy our programs, and to take pleasure in this paradisiacal place in Central Oregon’s high desert.

For information on programs, please contact the nature center at 541-593-4394. Pre-registration is required for all programs. We look forward to seeing you.

Nature Center to host dragonfly presentation Naturalist Cary Kerst, coauthor of the beautiful “Dragonflies and Damselflies of Oregon: A Field Guide” will present an illustrated talk at Sunriver Nature Center on Saturday, Aug. 29, at 10 a.m. followed by a dragonfly walk. The event is free. Dragonflies and damselflies comprise the insect order Odonata, and are some of the most beautiful of insects, rivaling butterflies and moths for their amazing colors and behaviors. The flying abilities of dragonflies rival anything in nature and continue to be studied by scientists and aeronautical engineers to learn how they accomplish their incredible feats of flight. Odonates have some of the most beautiful, poetic and descriptive names in the animal kingdom – names

like crimson-ringed whiteface, flame skimmer, and saffronwinged meadowhawk. Damselflies have names like sooty dancer, Emma’s dancer, Aztec dancer, Paiute dancer and sedge sprite. Kerst is not only one of the region’s top authorities on

Avian life in Sunriver

By Kirstin Rea, Naturalist Sunriver is beautiful and special because it is a place where humans and nature coexist. Because of the inclusion of pine forests and the Deschutes River within town, a plethora of wildlife lives here. You can see beavers, birds, porcupines and coyotes from your front porch, something most towns can’t claim. But having nature so close comes with special considerations and requires residents and visitors to pay attention to their surroundings and the consequences of their actions. For instance, the coyotes and great horned owls found commonly in Sunriver have a habit of carrying away small dogs and cats. But the answer isn’t to eradicate them – it’s to be a responsible pet owner and keep your pets inside or on a leash. Mule deer are found in abundance throughout Sunriver. This means we get to observe them, and sometimes even find their spotted fawns hiding in the underbrush along pathways, in yards, or along the river. Mule deer are generally docile creatures, and when danger approaches they tend to “flight” rather than “fight.” But when humans and fawns get mixed in the same pot, mother deer can get rather protective if they think their fawns are in danger. Once a doe learns that aggression towards humans helps, she is likely to continue doing so. For this reason, the best way

to deal with aggressive deer is to prevent them from becoming aggressive in the first place. To keep deer docile, keep the following recommendations in mind. And remember, even if the deer isn’t aggressive around you, it doesn’t mean she won’t become aggressive to others later. • Do not feed deer. By feeding deer we encourage them to approach humans. But a mother deer may approach humans and then realize her fawn is nearby and decide she has to defend it. If this isn’t enough to discourage you, think of the deer. Deer have diverse diets, and what we feed them generally isn’t good for them and can cause serious health issues. • Do not approach deer.

Whether or not you see a fawn, one (or two!) could be nearby, hiding in the vegetation. By approaching, you force the doe to choose between fighting or fleeing. Don’t force her to make this choice. • Keep your pets away from deer. Don’t make her feel threatened. If your dog is off leash and sniffing around, he might find a fawn, which will lead a mother to become aggressive. Keep your dogs on leash. • If you see a deer, give it generous space and go around

it. Even if this means walking or riding your bike a little bit further. If we all take these steps, we can help minimize our encounters with aggressive deer. And remember – wild animals have been living in Sunriver far longer than we have. We have moved into their home, not the other way around. Rather than getting upset and faulting the wild animals, we should aim to respect them and act in ways conducive to coexisting.

By Chris Emmet, Naturalist The coexistence of human development with nature is a guiding principle, and one of the core mantras of Sunriver. This much is evident to anyone who lives or visits our community. The low, earth toned buildings, the abundance of trees, and sightings of wildlife are unheard of in a suburban environment. But just how much does the average person really notice about the diversity of nature within Sunriver? Take, for instance, the ubiquitous and noisy birds of Sunriver. The honking of trumpeter swans, the squawking of red-winged blackbirds, and the piping of mountain chickadees; each of these sounds unique and distinctive. The environment of Sunriver is second to none for the amateur birder. This article provides a basic introduction to the world of birding, and how one can get started in this rewarding and lifelong hobby.

Society of Oregon. Jane Morrow’s fused glass designs are reminiscent of quilting patterns, with geometric shapes and pleasing color combinations. Morrow is a professor of

nursing at Central Oregon Community College and, until recently, never ventured into the arts. Attracted by the beauty of fused glass, she took her initial steps into glass fusing by taking classes offered through COCC Community Education taught by Kate MacLeod. Living in Bend and influenced

by the ever-growing quilting culture, she also began dabbling in fabric art. Morrow found a way to combine the two passions by fusing glass into traditional quilt block designs. Her fused glass is displayed at BJ’s Quilt Basket in Bend. The show runs through Aug. 29 during library hours.

Volunteering: Just ‘one more thing’ For all of us, there is never enough time. Evenings and weekends are jammed with activities and errands. And as nice as it might be to add volunteering to our schedules, most of us just don’t feel like we can fit anything else in. But there is another way to think about it. Working as a volunteer in your local community provides an opportunity to meet new people, laugh, learn, and give back. The Second Tern Thrift Shop volunteers are vital to providing approximately 40 percent of the funding for the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory. We need men in the front to help load and unload furniture, men in the back to receive and sort other donations. We need fix-it folks, cashiers, décor people and those who enjoy working with displays and store set-up. The Tern is a store full of linens, jewelry, antiques, collectibles, electronics, tools, kitchen items, sporting goods, tools, gifts, furniture, games/toys, and clothing for all ages. There’s lots for volunteers to do with a super support network in place ready to orient newcomers. Call Gail, volunteer coordinator, at 541-5987397 for information. Donations are accepted during summer business hours Friday and Saturday 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Donations should be clean and in good working order. A contribution for certain electronics is requested. Scrap metal is accepted, too. The Tern is all about recycling, reusing, saving energy, and providing a great shopping place in the Sunriver area. Second Tern Thrift Store is located at 17377 Spring River Road, just outside Sunriver on the road to Mt. Bachelor.

and Deschutes County have jointly prepared land use application, File 247-15-000308PA. The land use application follows the unanimous recommendation of the DEQ Steering Committee in January 2013 to provide for a Goal 11 exception. The application will also amend the Newberry Country Plan with a policy that lands receiving a Goal 11 exception cannot be “upzoned” to more intense uses and add a Goal 11 map of affected tax lots. Please note that if approved, a Goal 11 exception does not require sewers, but merely allows them under certain circumstances. File 247-15-000308-PA includes a burden of proof listing the approval criteria and findings; a map of the proposed Goal 11 Exception Area; proposed amendments to the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan and the Newberry Country Plan; various state and federal fact sheets on nitrates and drinking water standards; DEQ Steering Committee on South Deschutes/North Klamath County report; a

United States Geological Survey (USGS) report on nitrates in the La Pine area; and a traffic study related to the impacts of lots that could be developed if sewers are built. (File 247-15000308-PA only allows for the options of sewers; no sewers are

required.) Copies of the submitted materials are available at the Deschutes County website at www.deschutes.org/cd/page/ goal-11-exception or hard copies at the Bend, La Pine, and Sunriver libraries or at the

ODFW takes action to help native fish in rivers

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has curtailed fishing hours on most of Oregon’s rivers to avoid additional stress on native fish already suffering from high water temperatures and low stream flows from this year’s drought. Effective July 18, and until further notice, all waterbodies defined as streams in the 2015 Oregon Sportfishing Regulations are closed above tidewater (where applicable) to fishing for trout, salmon, steelhead and sturgeon from 2 p.m. to one hour before sunrise. Angling for these species will be prohibited at all times in the Willamette River downstream of Willamette Falls, including the Clackamas River up to the Interstate 205 Bridge, the

Multnomah Channel and the Gilbert River. The following sections of the John Day River will also have complete closures: The mainstem of the John Day River above Indian Creek near Prairie City; the Middle Fork of the John Day River above Mosquito Creek near the town of Galena; the North Fork of the John Day River above Desolation Creek and Desolation Creek. Some streams will remain open for angling under normal hours because they are less prone to high water temperature risks due to springs, tides, cold water releases from some dams and high elevations. Streams that will remain open for angling under normal hours are: • C e n t r a l Zo n e : T h e Deschutes River above Macks Canyon; the Metolius River; the Fall River; the Crooked River (from mouth to Bowman Dam); and Tumalo Creek.

Sunriver CrossFit opens in the business park

wnabyers@aol.com

Sunriver CrossFit began offering group fitness workout classes in June at 56880 Venture Lane, warehouse #114, in the Sunriver Business Park. “CrossFit is a series of constantly varied functional movements under high intensity,” said Ben Chapman, Sunriver CrossFit owner. “It doesn’t matter what age or physical fitness level. The focus is on mobility. Anybody will benefit from CrossFit, from those who have never worked out to professional athletes.” Sunriver CrossFit classes are offered Monday through Friday at 5 a.m., 6 a.m., 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. A typical workout has participants going station to station working out with a coach available. The workout is just under an hour and includes warm up, skill drills, strength and circuit training, which gets the sweat rolling for 5-20 minutes.

“We focus on mobility the last 10 minutes, stretching, cooling down and making sure everyone knows what they need to do after class so they are ready to go for next class,” Chapman said. Saturday is “Outside the Box” and usually entails an outdoor adventure such as trail hiking, paddle boarding or trail running. Prices are $140 a month for an unlimited number of classes, $110 a month for three classes a week or $80 a month for two classes per week. Discounts are offered for police, fire, military,

educators, students and low-income families. Two scholarships are available to those willing to write and submit an essay stating why they deserve a scholarship to get healthy and fit. Chapman grew up in La Grande playing basketball and other high school sports. He’s been an Olympic weight lifter for 20 years. He fought fires for five years and worked in the Australia oil fields for six years. He began participating in CrossFit training in 2005 and earned CrossFit coaching certification in November 2014.

SUNRIVER SCENE • AUGUST 2015

Fish continued from page 12

ies upstream of the William Jess Dam and Lost Creek Reservoir. Angling in the mainstem Columbia River and mainstem Snake River is not affected, and angling hours remained normal, though curtailment of recreational catch-and-release sturgeon fishing upstream of Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River was discussed. “Earlier this month, we indicated that if these drought conditions continued, we may have to close or restrict some fisheries,” said Mike Gauvin, ODFW’s recreation fisheries manager. “These are difficult, but necessary actions to protect native fish already suffering from extreme drought conditions.” “This doesn’t mean that all fishing has to stop.” According to Gauvin, most streams will still be open in the early hours when water temperatures are cool, and there are many great fishing opportunities in lakes, reservoirs for hatchery stocked rainbow trout, warmwater fish like smallmouth bass or crappie, as well as all of the ocean fisheries. “As extreme weather events become more frequent due to climate change, we need to be

prepared for the stress these conditions will have on fish, wildlife and their habitats,” Ed Bowles, Fish Division Administrator said. “Planning for the effects of these changing climatic conditions presents a unique challenge for us, yet we are committed to doing our best to enhance resiliency to climate change and avoid significant impacts on our natural resources.” ODFW already implemented emergency regulations on several other rivers. In addition, trout stocking schedules and locations have been adjusted and some hatchery fish have been released early as a result of high water temperatures. Elevated water temperatures have led to salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon deaths in several rivers. Gauvin encourages the public to report sightings of stranded fish, or other wildlife distressed by drought, to the department and to take precautions when fishing during these drought conditions. On days when temperatures soar, anglers can do their part to reduce the stress on fish by adopting the following measures: • Fish early in day when water temperatures are cooler. • Use a thermometer to check

water temperatures frequently. Stop fishing when temperatures exceed 70 degrees. • Consider changing locations to high elevation lakes or shaded streams near headwaters. These places are often cooler. • Use barbless hooks so you can release fish easily without harming them. • Use the appropriate gear and land fish quickly. The longer the fight, the less likely the fish will survive. • Keep the fish in the water when you unhook it and cradle the fish upright until it revives enough to swim away. • Use your judgment. If conditions where you want to fish seem especially severe (low, hot water), consider fishing somewhere else where water conditions are better. Check the regulation update pages at www.dfw.state.or.us before heading out to make sure

temporary emergency regulations have not been put in place for the waters you want to fish.

Volunteers needed: War on Weeds a community effort

“There’s another one!” a Sunriver homeowner exclaimed while walking around her property and adjacent common area with Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) Natural Resources staff one recent morning. “When you know what you are looking for,” the homeowner said, “these noxious weeds are easy to spot.” SROA Natural Resources Committee chair Rae Seely has seen this reaction before and knows that with this kind of enthusiasm and support, Sunriver can make great advances in its War on Weeds. “Noxious weeds can be a real blight on a community, but a collective effort can prevent these invasive

plants from gobbling up scarce resources and help preserve the beauty of Sunriver’s natural landscapes,” Seely said. This year’s Annual War on Weeds (WOW), takes place between Friday, July 31 and Friday, Aug. 7 and all home and business owners, community groups, visitors, and others are invited to help pull noxious weeds from Sunriver common areas. As a weeklong effort, volunteers will have an opportunity to participate on their own schedules. “Volunteers can work independently or as part of a group,” said WOW team capTurn to Weeds, page 17

Home damaged by lightning strike The Sunriver Fire Department was dispatched about 1:20 p.m. July 9 to a report of a Sunriver home struck by lightning. Occupants of 25 Topflite Lane reported seeing lightning hit a tree next to the home, a flash of light and then smelling smoke inside the home. Sunriver Fire Department responded with one engine, four firefighters and a safety officer. Firefighters found flames on the roof and the ceiling inside the house. They knocked the flames down in about five minutes, limiting the fire to an approximate 3-foot by 3-foot area. Firefighters opened holes in the ceiling and roof to check for fire extension in the rafters. They noted pieces of insulation that appeared to have been scattered by the lightning strike. Captain Benjamin O’Keefe said it appeared the lightning bolt struck the tree, jumped to the house and ran along the ridge of the roof, causing a fire

to start in the roof structure around the chimney chaise. Safety officer Don Willis said the house occupants initially saw smoke rising from around the chimney that gave the appearance of a fire burning normally in the fireplace. “If the house had been empty, the fire might have gotten pretty advanced inside the structure before anybody would have noticed,” Willis said. The La Pine Fire Department assisted with an engine and the Bend Fire Department sent an ambulance to cover while Sunriver crews dealt with the fire and recovery operations. There were no injuries to the occupants or emergency responders. The occupants of the home sent a letter thanking the firefighters for their efforts to limit damage to furniture and personal belongings. Damage estimates include $25,000 to the structure and $4,000 to contents.

‘Rhythm in Vision’ art exhibit By Billye Turner The Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents Rhythm in Vision, an exhibition of artworks by 10 members of the High Desert Art League of Central Oregon opening on Sunday, Aug. 9. Participating artists – Cindy Briggs, Helen Brown, Patricia Clark, Cameron Kaseberg, David Kinker, Jacqueline Newbold, Vivian Olsen, Janice Rhodes, Barbara Slater and Joren Traveller – will be present at a reception in their honor on Friday, Aug. 14, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the upper gallery. The art league is a professional artists’ group organized to support the advancement of member artists. The league, a cooperative business for participants, promotes their artwork through exhibitions as well as offering interactive education. League members are accomplished artists working in a wide variety of mediums as

exemplified in the Sunriver Lodge exhibition. Cindy Briggs presents sun-drenched, colorsaturated scenes in water-media materials reflecting her journeys to Europe, Asia and Australia. Helen Brown’s vibrant watercolors reveal her interest in unusual perspective, dramatic light and the texture of her chosen papers. Patricia Clark, founder of Atelier 6000 and a nationally respected master printmaker, interprets the local landscape in striking abstract images. Cameron Kaseberg exhibits art rich in texture and storytelling using a solvent transfer process on his photographic imagery. David Kinker’s intense study of aesthetics in nature guides the creation of his colorful, abstract acrylic paintings. Jacqueline Newbold’s travels lend a limitless source of imagery for her watercolors capturTurn to Rhythm, page 19

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary” –Aaron Rose

sunriver women’s club President’s message Hello August. We’ve been waiting for you. Have you heard it said that August is like “the Sunday of summer?” At first glance this suggests the end of summer. And, although biblically Sunday is a day of rest, August is anything but for the SRWC. August is actually one of our busiest months. We begin with the Sunriver Art Faire Aug. 7-9. This sixth annual event is a stellar showcase of the best of the arts to an appreciative audience and is our largest undertaking of the year. It takes about 150 volunteers to make this fundraiser successful and we thank you all. “The best days are the ones that start with sunshine and end with moonlight” (L. Poin-

Bonnie Campbell for “stepping up” to help out with Hearty/ Soft Soles during Gina’s absence. Campbell kept things moving. And to Lana Benish for organizing the born-again community picnic and to all your volunteers — a big thanks. You are extraordinary.

If you haven’t volunteered for this before, it’s an entertaining way to spend a few hours and then stay to watch the show. Carolyn Spaniol is this year’s chairman.

Key information points include: • You can possess and use recreational marijuana if you are 21 and older. If you are younger, it’s illegal. • You can use recreational marijuana at home or on private property. Public use is illegal. • You can possess up to eight ounces of useable marijuana in your home and up to one ounce outside the home. • Driving under the influence of marijuana remains illegal. Please be responsible. • You can grow up to four plants per residence, out of public view. • You can share or give away recreational marijuana. You can’t sell it or buy it until licensed retail shops open. • You can’t take marijuana in or out of the state. That includes Washington state. • You can make edible products at home or receive them as gifts, but you can still only use them in private places. Certain aspects of the law are

A month of legal use in Sunriver

Other than an overdose incident early this year when a visitor ate gummy marijuana candies and experienced difficulties breathing, legal recreational use of marijuana has had minimal impact on Sunriver emergency services. “We’re not seeing much impact yet on requests for service,” said Sunriver Police Chief Marc Mills on July 15. “I expect more issues with marijuana use this fall when college fraternity houses come to Sunriver during fall and winter breaks.” “More people smoke tobacco than marijuana and we have a no smoking policy in all of our houses, so if anything is going to be an issue it will be tobacco smoking,” said Robert Bennington, CEO of Bennington Properties. Bennington said his company deals with a “very, very low incidence of guests breaking the no smoking policy inside our homes. I think smoking in general in Sunriver will continue to be the issue with 99 percent of incidents being tobacco smoke.”

Every September, Oregonians welcome a group of retired and professional Costa Ricans who come to enjoy a month-long journey that includes homestays in four Oregon communities (Portland, the North Coast, Central Oregon, and Hood River). In turn, a group of Oregonians spends the month of February in Costa Rica, staying with families in different parts of that country. Sunriver owners, Sheila and Dave Schmerber, participated a few years ago and report having had wonderful experiences with the warm and friendly “Ticos.” Two years ago, Sunriver resident Ruby Price led the Oregon group and found the opportunity to immerse herself in the Costa Rican culture and see the country through the eyes of her hosts, an experience she called “the trip of a lifetime.” She is

DRRH resident appointed to advisory committee Jerry Hubbard, a resident of Deschutes River Recreation Homesites, has been appointed to the Deschutes Provincial Advisory Committee (PAC) representing the public at large. Hubbard received a letter in July from Thomas Vilsak, secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture, advising him of the two-year appointment. Hubbard’s first meeting as a representative of the PAC is scheduled for Sept. 29. He said he expected to receive information in advance to study. The PAC provides advice regarding the implementation

of a comprehensive ecosystem management strategy for federal land and to promote public understanding and, where possible, a consensus on approaches to managing forest ecosystems, wildlife and fish, and human uses of the forest. It was established to implement the Northwest Forest Plan of April 1994 and help foster collaboration between the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, state and local agencies and the general public. The PAC is composed of 29 voting members, representing a broad array of environmental, forestry, recreational interests,

government agencies and the public. The PAC meets about four times per year, with two of those meetings generally for two consecutive days that include field trips. The PAC frequently assigns subcommittees or charters special working groups, including non-PAC members, to develop consensus or act as sounding boards representing a variety of interests for specific projects within the Deschutes basin. Hubbard earned a degree in business administration

Family competes in Pacific Crest

Three generations of a Sunriver family competed in Pacific Crest Sports Festival events held June 26-28 in Sunriver. Lori Hecker, her 80-year old mother Maxine Thomas and daughter Makayla Hecker competed in the 5k race. Thomas had high expectations, having won a gold medal in last year’s 5k race in her age category. But this year’s 5k had larger age categories and Thomas competed with “spry 70 year olds.” Hecker’s husband competed in the half marathon. None of the three generations finished high enough to earn medals, “but we all finished and we all had fun,” Lori Hecker said.

iar with SROA’s annual audited financial statements. • Effective owners understand the role the Board of Directors serves in governing SROA. Effective owners understand that, under Oregon law, SROA’s Board has a fiduciary duty to the association and its members. When the Board acts, it must act for the benefit of the association as a whole. Board members must not give preference to friends and family. Put another way, once an owner is elected to the Board, he (or she) must take off his homeowner hat and put on his Board member hat. Effective owners understand that the Board must occasionally make tough decisions that are unpopular with some owners. • Effective owners understand that members of the Board of Directors are owners themselves. Board members are unpaid volunteers who pay the same maintenance fees and

SHARC special assessments as every other homeowner. Board members must comply with the Consolidated Plan, Sunriver’s Rules and the Design Manual – just like every other owner. • Effective owners understand that the role of the Board is to set policy and make decisions. Decisions the Board makes each year include approving SROA’s annual budget, setting the amount of maintenance fees, and approving fees and policies for use of SROA facilities. Effective owners understand that the Board relies on SROA’s professional staff, as well as committees, task forces and work groups to gather and analyze information and make recommendations for board action. In the end, however, the Board is the body that makes the decision; it does not delegate the decision to the task force, committee, work group or professional staff.

The new shark floating toy at SHARC is essentially unsinkable, as this crowd of Three Rivers School students demonstrate.

New water play toys at SHARC manager. “That’s why we went back to PLAYTIME. The quality of their products is outstanding. Kids and adults play on these things and they withstand a lot of abuse. The PLAYTIME products are durable.” SHARC purchased seven new floatables for the 2015 season: five new lily pads for the water walk, a new log to replace an existing one and a floating shark that replaced a floating trout. According to Darren Squier, SHARC facilities manager, the new shark is the most popular amenity this year. “The shark has a really wide base so it can’t be flipped despite the kids’ best efforts. They simply cannot flip that thing,” Squier said. “Kids try to surf the shark and we have daily games of King of the Shark because of the stability.” Squier said PLAYTIME customized the shark to match the SHARC’s logo. “They even painted a smile on the shark. We didn’t want a menacing shark.”

Three years ago, the Sunriver Owners Association opened the SHARC aquatic and recreation center, which includes indoor and outdoor pools, a leisure pool with a zero entry area, two slides, lazy river, spa and kiddie pool. It also includes a sand play area, cafe, picnic area, playground, basketball court, bocce ball court, year-round tubing hill, picnic pavilion and an outdoor amphitheater. On an annual basis, SHARC attracts an average of 250,000 Sunriver residents, summer vacationers and day use visitors from Bend and La Pine. When SHARC opened, SROA purchased water play equipment from PLAYTIME, a global provider of unique, interactive indoor, outdoor and water play areas and playground equipment. Three years later, it came time to update some of the equipment and add new pieces, and the association called PLAYTIME again. “Those floatables get ridden hard,” said Matt Catanzaro, SHARC aquatics operations

By Jake Davis, Sunriver Tennis Pro This month in Sunriver, men and women of all levels are invited to take advantage of a unique weeklong tennis camp led by special guest coach Peter MacDonald, the Head Men’s Tennis Coach for Division 1 Gonzaga University. Recently, MacDonald wrapped up his tenth season at the helm for the Zags, and continues to take the West Coast Conference program to new heights. Largely due to McDonald’s continued success and energy, Jake Davis Gonzaga University invested in a six-court indoor tennis complex on its Spokane campus that rivals some of the best facilities in the nation. Prior to taking the position with Gonzaga, MacDonald developed a high performance tennis program in Portland, and organized clinics for the Pacific Northwest’s top tennis players. Through his work as a private coach, MacDonald has helped coach numerous players to district and national open victories in both singles and doubles. Coach MacDonald will be running his camp during the week of Aug. 10 through 14. One session will be offered from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and drop-ins are welcome. For more information and pricing details for “Coach Pete’s Tennis Camp,” or any of our other offerings, please check SunriverTennis.com or call the tennis center at 541-593-5707.

Q: At the July SROA board meeting, an owner requested construction of a pathway along Overlook Road and submitted a list of neighbors’ signatures that support the concept. How is such a request processed? A: First off, I applaud any owner that takes the time to research an issue and provide the board and staff with background information as well as possible solutions. In the case of the July board meeting, this owner shared her and her neighbors’ concerns regarding the lack of a pathway connector to the main pathway system in her neighborhood. The concern that was raised was accompanied with possible solutions and some good background data. And while it is not always necessary to provide solutions and background information, it certainly was helpful to have such in this case. The role of the board during the Owners Forum portion of the meeting is to receive the owner input and absorb any information and matters of concern raised. Absent clarifying ques-

tions, the board listens carefully without passing any judgment or attempting to “spitball” problem solve on the spot. This practice of carefully and respectfully listening has brought some criticism of the board for not engaging in debate or problem solving on the spot during the forum, but there are some very good reasons to adhere to this practice. Most importantly, this portion of the board meeting is dedicated to hearing what owners have to say. In short, the owners wishing to address the board have the floor. Of almost equal importance, many of the concerns presented are the board’s introduction to a specific issue or concern. As such,

additional research and evaluation is routinely needed before the board can offer a substantive comment or take any action. Upon completion of the owner’s comments, the board makes sure to thank the owner for their input, and if warranted, provides a written follow up prior to the next board meeting. Depending on the matter being presented, the board has several options for follow up, all of which further the board’s desire to make as informed a decision as they can. At the board’s disposal for additional research is: staff, various committees, taskforces, workgroups or even an assigned board member or outside entity to eventually provide the board with as complete a picture as possible. With respect to the recent input regarding a pathway connector, I know that the board was very appreciative to hear the concern and the proposed solution. Staff is already looking into the issue further, pulling together any history and data for the board to consider in the months ahead.

Last month, the Sunriver Scene reported that the Sunriver Owners Association Board of Directors had authorized establishment of a SROA-operated river shuttle service to and from SROA’s new boat launch. The details of the shuttle service were still being developed at press time. Since the announcement in the July Scene, SROA and the Sunriver Resort have worked together to develop a SROA Member Preference no-fee shuttle service operated by the Sunriver Resort in place of the planned SROA-operated service. SROA and Sunriver Resort are announcing that this new shuttle service is now available to SROA Member Preference ID cardholders and will run daily through Labor Day weekend. This collaboration between SROA and the Sunriver Resort

will allow SROA to provide river shuttle service to its members at a reduced operational cost and with no-fee for SROA members utilizing the service. While the service is currently only being offered to association members this summer, SROA and the Sunriver Resort are exploring the possibility of offering it to SROA members annually. To access the shuttle service, SROA members must visit the Sunriver Marina office in advance to arrange for pick up. Owners will be required to present a current SROA Member Preference ID card at pick up. The Sunriver Resort will pick up members at two designated locations: the SROA boat launch for transport to Harper Bridge and the circle 7 canoe takeout for transport back to the SROA boat launch.

SROA ceases charging clubs to meet at SHARC, issues refund At its July 18 regular meeting, the Sunriver Owners Association Board of Directors voted unanimously to stop charging clubs and organizations $180 per year to use the Crescent meeting room at SHARC. The board’s action also directed the fees clubs paid to date be refunded. The fee charged to clubs and organizations to use the meeting space at SHARC was adopted in December 2014 for

the 2015 year. According to a background statement attached to the motion, the fee was implemented to address the issue of owner equity, specifically those club members who are not owners of property in Sunriver and do not pay association maintenance fees nor contributed to the construction, reserve funding and ongoing maintenance of Turn to Clubs page 40

The Sunriver Owners Association received a Safe Sidewalks award from the Deschutes County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee in June. SROA was nominated by the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce for clearing Sunriver’s pathways of snow and ice in winter, regularly cleaning and inspecting the pathways in summer, and for its 8-year program to rebuild the entire 33-mile pathway system. “By maintaining your sidewalk, you have demonstrated how much you care about the larger community and your ensure pedestrians, who are also potential customers, can safely access your business during winter. Along with the snow and ice of winter, there are many other hazards that are present year-round that need attention such as low hanging vegetation, irrigation overspray, and deteriorating sidewalks. This award is to celebrate your continued diligence in performing a task that so many other businesses and property owners often overlook,” wrote Cheryl Howard,

Sunriver Stars Community Theater pays tribute to a dear friend and fallen star The Sunriver Stars Community Theater family recently lost one of their most active and talented members. Jerry Inman passed away in Bend on July 1 after battling an extended illness. Jerry and his wife, Susan, were two of the founding members of the Stars Theater group, and performed in nearly all of the 12 shows the Stars have produced. In addition to his on-stage contributions, Inman served on the theater’s board as director of publicity. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma,

Inman graduated from Stanford University in 1956 with a bachelor’s degree in international relations. He later graduated from the National War College and also earned a master’s degree in international affairs from George Washington University. Inman served a 34-year career as a foreign diplomat, both in public and private service. His duty assignments included Washington D.C., the Philippians, Korea, Venezuela, Mexico and three separate appointments in Japan. While serving in these locations, Inman became fluent

Sunriver Stars Community Theater announces upcoming events Auditions for the Sunriver Stars fall mystery production will be held Tuesday, Sept. 8, 6-9 p.m. in room 208 above the Village Properties offices in the Sunriver Business Park. This will be a staged reading performance without the need to memorize dialogue. Many thanks go to Mark Halvorsen for his generosity in providing the Stars with free audition and rehearsal space. This fall’s performance will be co-directed by Michael Beeson and Susan Inman Evans, both experienced in drama and both currently serving on the board of directors for the Stars.

All interested in trying out for parts in a murder mystery play are encouraged to attend and participate in the auditions. The show directors will select the cast based on the auditions. No roles have been pre-cast. Performances are scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 23. Sept. 19 and 20 are the dates for the first ever Sunriver Stars acting workshop, titled “An Introduction to Acting,” funded with a grant from the Oregon Arts Commission. Michael French, an actor, director and drama teacher, will teach the

in both Spanish and Japanese. “Jerry was one of those people who everyone loved,” said Stars founder Victoria Kristy. “He was always so kind, so pleasant, and so dependable. Even in times of chaos, Jerry was always there to bring things back to calm and order. If it weren’t for Jerry and Susan, the Stars would not be anywhere near where we are today.” Inman was a devoted husband to Susan for over 60 years. He was dad to Todd, Eric, Martitia (Tish) and Chris. He was an exceptional asset to the Sunriver community. He was a colleague, friend and a valued member of the Stars family.

Pugh. “He was the kind

of man I can only hope to be someday. He was my hero.” Inman was cast to act in the Stars most recent production, “Wild, Wild, Wildest West.” Unfortunately, soon after rehearsals started, he had to drop out due to illness. Pugh noted that when he visited Inman in the hospital, “Lying right there on the stand next to his bed was his copy of the script.” In addition to his contributions to the theater, Inman actively served on the Sunriver Music Festival Board of Directors. Jerry and Susan have been long-time, generous supporters of numerous other cultural activities and organizations. The SSCT family all agree: “Even though this Star may have changed stages, he will always shine bright in our hearts and memories.”

Evacuation notification levels and what they mean In 2014, Oregon adopted three evacuation levels after thorough consideration by the Oregon State Sheriff ’s Association, Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office, Oregon Office of Emergency Management, Oregon Fire Chief ’s Association, and the Oregon Department of Forestry. With the 2015 fire season well underway, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, along with partner agencies, want to ensure members of the public understand the three level evacuation system and where to get current information regarding fire activity. Level 1: Be Ready There is an incident and residents in the area should be aware of potential evacuation. Be aware of the danger; monitor emergency services sources and local media for information. Those persons who need additional time to exit an area or have health conditions (especially respiratory conditions that could be aggravated by smoke) should consider leaving. You are encouraged to prepare or even move livestock and pets out of the area. Be prepared to leave if conditions worsen. Level 2: Get Set There is significant danger and nearby residents should be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice. Individuals are encouraged to leave and

Level 3: Go Now! There is immediate and imminent danger and you should evacuate immediately. DO NOT delay leaving to gather any belongings or make efforts to protect your home. Leave immediately and as quickly as possible. Drive carefully, turn on your headlights, and follow any directions from emergency services personnel. Entry to evacuated areas will be denied until the hazard subsides.

There were green flecks in the cup holders and two packs of rolling paper. 6/18 – Officer responded to Mink Lane location about a dog at large. We took the collarless pup back to the station to check for a microchip. Upon arrival at the station, the dog slipped out of the collar we had placed on it and escaped custody. He refused to halt and come back as ordered. Efforts to relocate the fleeing Fido were futile. It is light brown in color and looks like what would result if a coyote and a fox had a baby. Probable cause exists to apprehend the canine on charges of being a very, very bad boy. 6/19 – DCSO requested a check of a pickup off of the forest service road. The vehicle had damaged a stop sign as it left the road. The only damage appeared to be a broken headlight. The registered owner was contacted. He said

he had swerved to avoid a deer and was enroute with a tow. He promised to contact county public works regarding the damaged sign. 6/19 – RP requested a ride from the stables to his cabin. We learned that he and his girlfriend had flipped their kayak on the river and had swum to shore near the stables. The kayak had proceeded downstream without them and eventually beached somewhere between Skypark and the Marina. The couple was cold. We promised to explore options to recover the boat. 6/19 – Multiple reports of a loud party on Winners Circle. Officer located a large beer pong game on the back deck. The host was advised of Sunriver rules and regs and agreed to take the game inside and close the windows. 6/20 – Report of subject camping in a cot next to his truck in the Marina parking lot.

Book clubs read, discuss non-fiction, mystery and a classic Three very different books will enliven discussions for Sunriver Books & Music’s Book Clubs Mondays at 6:30 . Aug. 3 the Non-Fiction Book Club discusses “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand. Louis Zamperini competed as a runner in the 1936 Olympics, so fast he impressed even Hitler. His coach said the only runner that could beat him was Seabiscuit (the subject of another biography by Hillenbrand). World events changed the course of Zamperini’s life. He was only 26 when his plane went down in the Pacific, leaving him in a raft with the pilot and surviving crewmembers for almost seven weeks. Going from one form of hell to another, he spent the

next two years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, a place of incredible cruelty. That he survived is proof of his courage and tenacity. This is an inspiring story of a man’s resilience and perseverance that will give the book club much to discuss. Aug. 17 the Mystery Book Club discusses “The Moonstone” by Wilkie Collins.

The adopted $180 fee charged to each club was a means to cover the owner equity deficiency, and an attempt to achieve that compensation. After a significant amount of feedback from clubs and organizations, it was apparent the fee had not been administered or understood as intended, and did not address the owner equity issue. SROA’s Admission Model Workgroup recommended discontinuance of the fee, so as to not be punitive to the philanthropic nature of the many clubs and organizations. The financial impact of the decision was estimated at $1,200.

Wood and Howard Potts Resort Cup: Postponement of Round 2 The Resort Cup is an annually contested four-team, four match event with one match on each team’s course (Eagle Crest, Black Butte, Widgi Creek and Sunriver), typically a month apart during the golf season, with the Resort Cup trophy as well as local bragging rights going to the team that accumulates the most points over the season. Normally we would be reporting the status of the halfway point in the Resort Cup in this issue. Instead, due to a scheduling conflict in July, Black Butte Ranch requested that the four clubs vying for the cup reschedule to Aug. 24. This will mean two Resort Cup events will be played a week apart, sandwiched around the Sunriver

Sunriver Women’s Golf Association The Sunriver Women’s Golf Association (SWGA) is a non-profit organization, functioning as a member of the Oregon Golf Association. SWGA strives to foster and maintain the spirit of good will and true sportsmanship, while encouraging conformance to the USGA Rules of Golf and accepted golfing etiquette. Throughout the golf season, SWGA conducts weekly golf activities (most Thursdays) and hosts two annual tournaments (Partnership and Club Championship) — each followed by a ladies luncheon. The SWGA is a participating member of the Central Oregon Golf Visitation Group, which provides the ability to play other courses in Central Oregon. SWGA are members of the Central Oregon Senior Women’s Association, which provides play among seniors at various participating Central Oregon clubs. Any woman golfer with a current USGA handicap index of 40.4 (converts to a 45 course handicap at Woodlands) may be eligible to join SWGA. To participate in weekly competitions, dues must be current, and a 40 course handicap is

used. However, a player with a course handicap of 41 through 45 may compete in weekly competitions with an adjusted course handicap of no more than 40. To compete in club tournaments, the handicap will be adjusted to 36. Individuals interested in joining the SWGA should contact Sue Revere at 541598-9223. Membership applications are also available online via the Sunriver Resort’s website: www.sunriver-resort. com Follow the golf button “GOLF” to 2015 Golf Membership and scroll to bottom of page to Women’s Golf Association / Membership Application.

Sunriver Resort to host fourth PGA Professional National Championship in June 2017 Source: PGA of America Sunriver Resort will host the 50th PGA Professional National Championship in June 2017. Championship play will occur on both the Crosswater Club and Meadows golf courses, which hosted the 2001, ’07 and ’13 National Championships. This will be the fourth visit to Oregon by the PGA of America’s showcase event for PGA Professionals. The championship will bring a field of 312 to the Central Oregon resort, representing 41 PGA sections competing at the peak of their games, and with its 20 top finishers earning a berth in the PGA Championship.

Crosswater Club, ranked by Golf Digest as one of “America’s Greatest 100 Public Golf Courses,” was the site of the Champions Tour’s JELD-WEN Tradition from 2007-10; the 2006 NCAA men’s Division I Championship and the 1998 Western PGA Professional Championship. The Meadows Course also served as host of the 2007 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur Championship. “The PGA of America takes pride in its relationship with Sunriver Resort, one of the many wonderful venues nationwide to host this National Championship,” said PGA of America President

Derek Sprague. “Sunriver’s marvelous Crosswater Club and Meadows course set the bar high in accommodating our players and their families. The PGA has enjoyed three memorable National Championships at Sunriver, and we anticipate our 50th Championship in 2017 will deliver another great chapter in PGA member history.” “We’re excited to welcome back the PGA of America by hosting the 50th PGA Professional National Championship,” said PGA Professional Josh Willis, Sunriver Resort’s director of golf operations. “The opportunity to partner with Turn to PGA, page 44

I would guess that a cute little dog riding in the driver’s lap would qualify as a safety hazard. The fine is $150 and possibly 60 days in jail. An unrestrained pet is distracting to the driver. A distracted driver can lead to an accident where the unrestrained pet is killed on impact, kills someone else in the vehicle by flying into them, is thrown from the vehicle and takes off and gets lost or hit by another vehicle and, possibly, prevents or hampers emergency personnel from helping the injured. I’ve always thought a crate was the safest way for pets to travel, maybe not.

Lindsey Wolko, founder of the non-profit Center for Pet Safety, has looked at a number of crates, booster seats, seat belts and harnesses. According to Wolko, claims that something has been “crash tested” can mean anything. There is

no unbiased entity out there doing tests on the various safety devices. There are no agreed upon definitions of pass or fail. “A manufacturer may claim their product passed while allowing the dog to escape or be ejected during an accident,” Wolko said.

Here’s what I’ve gleaned from the various articles that I read: • Train your pet to ride quietly and calmly. • When using a crate, put it on the floor behind the front seats. If using a bigger crate, situate it on the back seat so it is parallel to the seat and use both the seat belt and shoulder straps to keep it in place. • If using a crate in the back of a pick up, strap it in parallel to the back window. • Barriers may slip in a collision, it is still necessary to safety belt a dog to the seat. Keep the tether short. Compare it to how much a seatbelt allows the driver to move.

• When considering harnesses, choose wide padded straps running down the dog’s chest. That will help spread the force of impact as much as possible. Buckles should be metal. • Do not allow dogs to hang their heads out the window. Debris in their eyes is a real hazard. Bees are another issue with heads out the window. Generally, open the windows enough that dogs can breathe in fresh air but not get their heads out. Don’t take my word for all of this. Do your research. I found petsafety.org eye opening. Truth4pets.org led me to the Center for Pet Safety. I was able to get a little information from AAA. Shop carefully and apply common sense. Manufacturer’s statements about their products ability to protect pets should not be taken as the gospel truth. Do remember: 78 degrees outside will heat a car’s interior to 100-120 degrees in a few minutes. 90 degrees outside will go as high as 160 degrees in your car in less than 10 minutes. It’s OK to leave your pets at home. Safe journey! Laurie Skovholt operates Pet Sitting By Laurie. Email: petsittingbyLaurie@gmail.com, 541-619-6229

Scene Opinion Policy Lynn Gamble passes

Jim Gamble, Sunriver Lynn Gamble passed away on June 16 after a four-year struggle with ovarian cancer. She was here in Sunriver at our home where her heart and soul were and always will be. She was visited by many of her friends here. Even as the pain was taking over, she always had a smile. As each person left she would smile and say: “See you on the other side.” Lynn was full of spirit, happiness and a bit of mischievousness. She toilet papered the Browning home on Halloween. She helped shovel snow from roofs of friends and neighbors. She sang karaoke with Lee Pitner at the Owls Nest. She bottle-fed orphaned calves three times a day on our ranch near Estacada. By Brooke Snavely

Here are a few things every homeowner should know about the 2015 Sunriver Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP): • It reduces fire danger in and around Sunriver • It improves forest health in and around Sunriver. • It increases cooperation among local, state and federal agencies. • It increases the safety of firefighters, which in turn results in increased prospects of saving lives, homes and property should a fire enter Sunriver. • It reduces homeowner insurance rates. (Check with your insurance company.) • It gives the Sunriver Owners Association the authority to certify homeowner compliance with state laws to reduce fire hazards, thus saving individuals from potentially confusing interactions with the state. • It gives locals a voice in federal government management of forestlands around Sunriver. • It makes Sunriver eligible for grants to accelerate fire reduction/healthy forest projects. SROA will officially accept the 2015 Sunriver CWPP during a signing ceremony at the SROA Board of Directors Work Session, 9 a.m., Friday, Page 46

Lynn Gamble

Her eyes sparkled when she smiled. She was my wife, best friend and soul mate. Lynn: Your friends miss you and I miss you. Wait for me on the other side. Editor’s note: A celebration of life for Lynn Gamble will be held 1:30 p.m., Friday,

Aug. 14 at SHARC. A golf tournament benefitting the American Cancer Society will be held Saturday, Aug. 15, 11:30 a.m. at the Meadows golf course. RSVP to ange la.halvorsen@tetrat ech.com or 206-9631988. Donations can be made to the American Cancer Society, ATTN: In Memory of Lynn Gamble, 31 West 6th Street, Medford, OR 97501.

Dog waste and lack of trashcans

Jim Zant, Sunriver Dog waste is becoming an increasing problem here in Sunriver, especially in the summer months. There are far too few trash containers to dispose of dog waste,

bags provided, plus signs warning of fines for any kind of litter. Why can’t the bike patrol officers help with this problem? Sunriver is a beautiful place. Let’s keep it that way.

From the editor’s desk: How the wildfire protection plan benefits homeowners Aug. 14 in the board meeting room. All owners are welcome to attend. The overall goal of the Sunriver CWPP is to provide for a healthy, fire resilient landscape that supports the social, economic and ecological values of Sunriver area property owners and visitors. Recommendations The overall standard for the 7,851 acres of public lands under the Sunriver CWPP is to decrease the risk of high intensity wildland fire behavior by reducing and maintaining fuel loads to a level that produces flame lengths of less than four feet. This enables safe and effective initial attack. On the 3,950 acres of private lands occupied by 4,181 residential structures and SROA common lands in Sunriver, the goal is for each structure and property to meet the specific standards as identified in the Sunriver Ladder Fuels Reduction Plan: • The entire property, including areas within 30 feet of any structure (up to the property line) shall be subject to fuels reduction standards. • All bitterbrush, noxious weeds, dead vegetation, and other flammable shrubs within 15 feet of a structure shall be removed. • Bitterbrush and manzanita shall be cleared three feet beyond the drip line of tree branches.

• Live branches of pine trees and other flammable trees shall be removed up to a minimum of six feet and a maximum of eight feet from grade. For trees less than 20 feet tall, only the lower 1/3 of branches shall be removed. • Trees branches of pines and other flammable trees shall be removed to create a minimum of 15 feet of clearance between chimneys and the branches. • Roofs, gutters, and areas under decks shall be maintained free of accumulated pine needles and other debris. • Dry grass shall be maintained to an average height of less than four inches, during the fire season (June-November) with the exception of scattered bunchgrasses. • Firewood shall be stored a minimum of 20 feet from the structure, or at the property line, during fire season (June – November). Additional specifications for tree cutting and retention are available in the Sunriver Ladder Fuels Reduction (LFR) Plan that can be found at www. sunriverowners.org. How Sunriver scores The likelihood of fire occurring in the Sunriver Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) rose the past five years. All other

Chipping small trees and brush on SROA commons is part of SROA’s Ladder Fuels Reduction Plan which reduces fire danger and increases forest health.

assessments of risk in Sunriver dropped, continuing an overall downward trend observed since the original CWPP was created in 2005. Sunriver owners should not become complacent with the decreased risk trend. A total of 22 fires started within the Sunriver CWPP boundaries the past 10 years. Thanks to the well-trained, well-equipped and rapid response times of the Sunriver Fire Department and neighboring firefighting agencies, all 22 fires were stopped

before causing significant damage. If a large wildland fire occurred in the Sunriver CWPP area that resulted in the closure of U.S. Highway 97, the economic losses to local businesses are estimated at more than $3 million a day. The loss of recreational use by property owners and visitors as a result of large “burn over” areas, would have an unknown economic impact not only to Sunriver, but to the remainder of Deschutes County.
