Artifacts found during the 2011-2012 construction of SHARC. Historical display at SHARC.
Display showcases Sunriver’s early history By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene SROA NEWS – It’s fairly well known that Sunriver was once the site of Camp Abbot – a World War II Army Corps of Engineers training facility. Construction of Camp Abbot began in November 1942 with the first trainee soldiers arriving in 1943. Some 90,000 soldiers passed through Camp Abbot before it ceased operations in June of 1944. Much of the Camp’s infrastructure and buildings were demolished in the weeks that followed. Throughout the years pieces of Camp Abbot have been discovered during
various construction projects around Sunriver, such as wooden utility pipes, pottery shards, bottles and military dog tags. Unfortunately, some of the materials left behind were not so benign and turned out to be asbestos containing materials, or ACM. One of the biggest sites for ACM is the 22 acres where SHARC sits today and was one of the catalysts for the construction of the facility which, ultimately, permanently capped this particular “hot zone” of asbestos. During the 2011 excavation phase of SHARC – especially around the previ-
ous amphitheater and sledding hill area – numerous bottles, pottery, metal and other “artifacts” were unearthed. SROA hired Applied Archaeological Research to be on site to collect and document any findings. Each piece was carefully researched and documented to ensure nothing was of great historical value. In the end, around 100 items were found – mostly glass bottles and jars for everything from Coca Cola and shoe polish to medication and face cream. All hail from the early 1940s. Earlier this year, SROA received a call from Applied Archaeological asking if we had interest in having the finds back as any holding period for the items had expired. While some might think of it as T D,
Mary McCallum mini makeover By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene Like some aging beauties, it was time for Mary McCallum Park to undergo a slight makeover. Improvements include a paved parking area (including a handicapped spot) and a new paved path to reach the pavilion and picnic areas – a benefit to those with mobility challenges. The pathway along the river was also repaved. Also in the works is new signage for each of the six picnic areas, kiosk and the garbage receptacle.
The park, named for the wife of Don McCallum, one of Sunriver’s original founders, was dedicated and deed restricted for use only by Sunriver owners in the 1970s. The 60-acre park is fenced and gated and includes a covered pavilion, picnic areas, barbecues, half basketball court, tetherball and a horseshoe pit. Sitting along a stretch of the Deschutes River, the park is kept in its natural state – creating a peaceful, forested retreat for owners. Sunriver owners can reserve the
pavilion and picnic areas at no charge for functions such as family barbecues and reunions, weddings, etc. For more information, call 541-593-2411. PRSRT STD. U.S. POSTAGE PAID BEND, OR PERMIT NO. 213

For the third summer, free river shuttle service is available to SROA members who present their 2019 SROA Member Preference ID card at the Sunriver Resort Marina. The service is provided to members through an agreement with Sunriver Resort. Sunriver owners can enjoy a leisurely float from the SROA boat launch to the canoe takeout without having to worry about transporting their watercraft and where to leave the car. To utilize the shuttle, owners MUST check in and obtain a ticket at the Resort’s marina building prior to starting their float. The ticket needs to be
presented at the end of the float for transportation back to the marina. The Canoe Takeout shuttle can only transport inflatables and personal watercraft less than 17 feet in length (no trailered boats or fishing pontoons). The last return shuttle from the Canoe Takeout is at 5:30 p.m. sharp – so plan your float time accordingly. The shuttle is only for owners and their passengers in the owner’s watercraft. Recreation Plus card holders can use the shuttle service for a fee. SROA members may also take advantage of a drop-off service near Harper Bridge. The
shuttle is for tubes only for a quick float from the Harper area to the SROA boat launch. No hard-shell watercraft of any size can be transported to Harper. Check-in is also required at the marina with a Member Preference ID (last drop-off is at 2:30 p.m.). The Harper shuttle has limited capacity and is available on a first come, first served basis. The Sunriver Marina reserves the right to adjust the hours of all shuttle operations due to inclement weather or for private group events. For more information about the service, contact the Sunriver Resort Marina at 541-593-3492.
Owner killed in plane crash on the Deschutes River By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene Long-time Sunriver owner Kevin Padrick, 63, died after his Maule seaplane went into the Deschutes River shortly after takeoff from the Sunriver Airport at approximately 10:24 a.m. on June 22. Padrick and his passenger, Johannes Noordwijk, 69, also from Sunriver, were both trapped inside the plane after it overturned and came to

household garbage, the objects did come from an important timeframe in Sunriver’s early history. “We now had three boxes full of some interesting stuff,” said Hugh Palcic, SROA General Manager. “I tasked our Communications Department with creating a display to house and showcase the objects that would help tell the story of Sunriver.” After staff sorted through the boxes, some 40 of the more interesting pieces were selected to go on display. A timeline was also created – starting with Camp Abbot to the construction of SHARC and where we are today. The display is located in the main, left-side vestibule at SHARC and can be viewed anytime during business hours. For more information, call 541-585-2937.
rest upside down in the water. Noordwijk, who sustained non-life threatening injuries, was able to extricate himself from the plane. Padrick’s body was recovered by a dive team shortly before 2 p.m. that afternoon. Although it will be some time before an official cause of the crash can be determined, eyewitnesses and an FAA spokesperson noted that the plane appeared to be hav-
ing difficulties gaining altitude following takeoff from the Sunriver Airport. On June 27, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), who is conducting the crash investigation, arrived to remove the plane from the river. The pathway and the Deschutes River between Meadow Road and Skypark was closed for much of the day T C,
Department of the Army letter hits Sunriver mailboxes By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene If you received a letter from the Department of the Army – don’t panic. The letter, addressed to Sunriver property owners, is a government advisement notice that your property may have been part of a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS), also known as Camp Abbot, and that munitions may be present on or near your property. Information about the former FUD site is available on the SROA website – www.sunriverowners.org – under News & Notices > Camp Abbot. The Sunriver Owners Association has publicized this information in the Sunriver Scene in the past as well as quarterly public notification for the potential of asbestos containing materials in Sunriver, also left from the days of Camp Abbot. Camp Abbot was in operation as a military training site between 1943 and 1944 and included rifle/machine gun, grenade, mortar and anti-tank ranges. If you need further information, please call the toll-free number 1-855-765-3837. For general information about the FUDS Program, visit www.fuds.mil.
Emergency preparedness presentation scheduled Do you know what to do should disaster strike? What if Sunriver needed to be evacuated? Are your family members ready to be self-sufficient if you are separated from one another? These are a few of the topics that will be discussed during an Aug. 14 presentation by Sunriver’s fire and police chiefs. Deschutes County Sgt. Nathan Garibay, the county’s emergency services manager, will also be part of the presentation. Free and open to all who live or work in Sunriver, the presentation will take place Aug. 14 at 5 p.m. in Pringle Hall at SHARC. Following the program, attendees will have an opportunity to ask additional emergency preparedness questions. There will also be handout materials available.

Magic doesn’t just happen It never ceases to amaze me how many people I meet react when I mention living in Sunriver. Upon hearing this they almost immediately they tell me how much they love Sunriver even going into great detail about what it is that attracts them. “My favorite place in the world.” Bob Nelson “Each year my whole extended family comes from distant places to gather together and share memories of our past times in Sunriver.” “It’s our dream to someday own a place in Sunriver.” “ “Sometimes when I get frustrated with something like with work, I just think of Sunriver. It’s my happy place.” “You are so lucky to live there. I’m really jealous.” “We love going to Sunriver in the winter. We are not skiers. We love to just bundle up and sit by the fire and just watch the snow fall.” Sunriver is truly a magical place. However, there are times when some folks, myself included, get caught up in the hustle of our daily lives and lose sight of those things that make it magical. There certainly are a number of popular attractions and amenities that are available. These include several championship golf courses, Sunriver Resort, SHARC, retail shops, grocery stores, postal services, quality dining options, medical services and an airport to name just a few. It is also home to the annual Sunriver Music Festival and numerous other seasonal entertainment options. Certainly, all of these things are significant in making Sunriver such a great
place to be. However, there are three things that are essential to making Sunriver so special: our natural environment, our quality of life and our property values. Our core mission is to protect and enhance these foundational things. First and foremost is our natural environment that includes location, wildlife and sustainability. We live in a part of Oregon where we have spectacular scenery including the Cascade mountains, the Deschutes River and numerous other smaller streams and lakes. The variety of flora and fauna is astounding and we are in the middle of it all. We experience four distinct seasons, each offering new and diverse sounds, smells, color changes and weather patterns. We also have a tremendous abundance of animals, birds and aquatic creatures. Our animal life includes deer, elk, coyotes, porcupines, raccoons, horses, squirrels and the occasional (but not really welcomed) cougar or bear. They are all part of the circle of life. Our bird population is also quite varied. One can routinely see a variety of hawks, osprey, eagles, owls, ducks, geese, wood peckers, doves, song birds, and quail just to name a few. It is spectacular to watch an osprey dive into the river to catch fish. It is a real treat if you float down the river in the spring watching ducks swim trailed by their babies. Lastly, is the outstanding array of aquatic animals including rainbow and brown trout, beavers and river otters. The Deschutes River, along with its many tributaries, is a world-class fishery. The second essential thing is our quality of life. To be certain our quality of life is inexorably tied to our natural environment. But we also benefit from a number of readily accessible parks and playgrounds as well as open spaces and common grounds. Our extensive
system of pathways is possibly our most important amenity. Our roads are designed in such a manner that one would never guess that there are more than 4,000 houses in Sunriver. This helps maintain the feeling that one is in the forest rather than a “subdivision.” We have a public works department that maintains all the paths and roads that is especially important during the snow season. Feeling a sense of security is enhanced significantly by being served by the Sunriver Service District that provides police, fire and emergency medical services on a 24/7 basis. But creating a sense of whimsy also is important. As an example, I shall never forget walking on a pathway in our neighborhood when I looked up to see a man riding his bike steering with one hand and cradling in his other… now wait… a full grown barn owl. Eyes wide open and feathers a flying. It was kinda like taking the dog for a walk. Kinda. On another occasion, I was taking our golden retriever Annie out for her morning walk. As I turned the corner of the house we encountered a large momma deer standing looking right back at us. We all just stood there like statues. Annie was field trained so she never chased after deer or other critters. There we stood. Annie and the deer face to face. I was fascinated watching them standing facing each other. Slowly I moved with Annie closer to the deer. Step by step, inch by inch, both sniffing the other’s scent. It was then that something remarkable happened. Annie and the deer touched noses! They remained in the position for a brief time and then the deer slowly almost casually moved away from us. This is part of the sense of wonder one can experience in Sunriver. T M,

DID YOU
KNOW
Thanks to Deschutes County, revelers looking to cool off and float the Deschutes River in the summer now have organized and safer access at Harper Bridge. The county road department created two, paved parking stretches along both sides of Spring River Road capable of accommodating 50 vehicles. The parking is buffered by a dedicated bike lane – creating additional space away from vehicle travel lanes while floaters load/unload their river toys – greatly improving safety through this busy traffic corridor.
Floaters must park within the designated parking slots only. All other dirt areas along Spring River Road east and west of the bridge are now posted “No Parking.� Those who ignore the signs risk receiving a ticket by Deschutes County Sheriffs who patrol that area. Kiosk signs also inform floaters of designated takeout locations. Those who head downriver from Harper Bridge must exit the river at either Besson Day Use Area or the Sunriver Boat Takeout (also known as the Canoe Takeout) prior to reaching Benham Falls.

About 40 percent of our owners rent their properties so it is an important source of income for them. Our property values have remained strong even through the great recession. For example, the house we purchased in 2003 has increased in value by about 46 percent. In regard to our monthly dues, SROA has the lowest rate in Central Oregon at $122.82 a month. In comparison, Black Butte’s monthly dues are $415, Broken Top is $390 and Eagle Crest is $297. SROA is financially sound including a healthy reserve fund that continues to grow. Sunriver is indeed a very special place. Some say it’s even magical. But it cannot be overlooked that is based upon our clear and compelling mission, which is to maintain Sunriver as a premier residential and resort community, protecting and enhancing its quality of life, natural environment and property values.

Sunriver Art Fair celebrates 10 years The tenth annual Sunriver Art Fair, sponsored by the Sunriver Women’s Club, returns to The Village at Sunriver on Aug. 9–11. Voted one of America’s Top 10 Art Fairs by readers of Art FairCalendar.com, the three-day event will showcase more than 80 artists displaying and selling their original art. The work is juried from artist applications
across the country – from Bend to as far east as Illinois. Visitors will enjoy a wide range of mediums including ceramics, glass, jewelry, painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, woodworking and mixed media. Artists represent a wide range of styles and price ranges to ensure all visitors will find something to take home. For the fair’s tenth anniver-
sary, local artist Bonnie Junell was chosen to commemorate the date on its annual poster. The poster will be available at the fair and online for purchase. To complement the great art, there will be live music on the main stage by favorite entertainers such Lindy Gravelle and her sweet melodies to the foot-stomping sounds of the Summit Jazz Band. The popular Children’s Art Center is back as well, where young artists can indulge their creative skills while parents browse the fair. Admittance to the fair is free. Net proceeds from the fair support the philanthropy program of the Sunriver Women’s Club. Since 1999, the club has awarded $635,855 to organizations in south Deschutes County. For more information about the fair and to purchase the poster, visit www.sunriverart fair.com
Work by Bonnie Junell featured on fair’s anniversary poster The Sunriver Art Fair is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a commemorative poster. The poster, titled “Sunriver Morning,” was created by popular artist Bonnie Junell. “Sunriver Morning,” captures a still moment on the Deschutes River, a much loved destination for Sunriver visitors and residents. An Oregon native now living in Vancouver, Washington with her husband and son, Junell travels extensively to Central
Oregon as well as northwest Florida. Her work has graced numerous galleries and art shows, including the Artists Gallery Sunriver and the Studio Gallery in Grayton Beach, Florida. “Sunriver Morning captures the special beauty of this area and the Deschutes River setting and is a great way to remember a visit to the Fair,” said Kathleen Meyer, Sunriver Art Fair T P,

Experience art in Sunriver By Deni Porter Long summer days of fun and exploration in Sunriver can only be enhanced by visiting the Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver. Thirty Central Oregon artists provide a diverse selection of art pieces with an equally diverse range of prices. There is something for everyone to enjoy. Upon arrival at the gallery, you will always be greeted by one or two of the artists themselves. These artists are often working on current pieces and you are welcome to observe and ask questions. To meet the entire group of gallery artists it is best to visit on the second Saturday of the month between 4 and 6 p.m. when the gallery’s regular monthly celebration is in progress. In August, Second Saturday will take place on Aug. 10. Come enjoy adult beverages, great food and meet with the artists. In August, the gallery features four extremely talented artists. Gourd art artist Su-
san Harkness-Williams is presenting a new piece titled “Awakened.” This unique piece features a rooster that represents the relationship of being physically and spiritually awakened. Another piece, “In the Halls of the Ancients,” is a very textual piece that begs to be rocked on its base and touched like an archeology discovery. Potter Diane Miyauchi provides new and delightful pieces of functional pottery. But this month collectors will need to take a close view of pieces that have been designed to create

Home to the largest collection of telescopes for public viewing in the United States
Butterflies (and moths) alight on Sunriver By Amanda Accamando, Nature Center Manager Like clockwork, each summer Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory receives dozens of phone calls, emails and drop-ins from visitors, asking a similar question – “What are all the orange butterflies I keep seeing?” Although equipped with at least three insect guides that are kept at the front desk of the nature center, our naturalists often are quick with an answer – California tortoiseshells. In Central Oregon, California tortoiseshell (Nymphalis californica) butterflies are seen in large numbers in the spring and then again in the late summer. These are one of the first butterflies you’ll see each year, as they’ve spent all winter hibernating as adults tucked in trees or crevices. As the temperatures warm, these butterflies seem to suddenly appear, often with tattered wings, and proceed
to lay eggs on snowbrush or tobacco brush (Ceanothus sp.). A couple of months later, a second generation of California tortoiseshells will emerge. Although the life cycle within the year is constant, this species is known for having fairly unpredictable population booms. The summer of 2017 was one of those years and many of you will likely remember driving through a tunnel of orange wings along Highway 97. Butterflies, like the California tortoiseshell, are related closely to moths and placed in the same insect order – Lepidoptera – meaning “scaly wings.” Both butterflies and moths have tiny scales covering their wings, often giving them the brilliant colors so many species are known for. You can quickly identify a moth from a butterfly by observing a few key physical and behavioral characteristics of the insect. Moths
are typically nocturnal, whereas butterflies are active during the day. While at rest, moths tend to hold their wings open at the sides of their bodies, whereas butterflies generally fold their wings up and over their bodies. If you inspect the head of a moth you may notice that its antennae resemble tiny feathers, whereas butterflies have stick-like antennae that are clubbed at the end. Of course with every rule, there can be many exceptions. You may see butterflies basking in the sun to raise their body temperature, with wings held out alongside their body like a moth. Or you may mistake some species of sphinx moths for hummingbirds as they dart from flower to flower to sip nectar during broad daylight. One moth that is unmistakable in our area is the pandora moth (Coloradia pandora). This larger bodied moth is native to

the western United States and only seen in large numbers as adults every other year; 2019 is one of those years. In the “off” years, the caterpillars feed on pine needles, often causing massive defoliation of trees in forested areas. Pandora moths belong to a family of moths called Saturniidae.

Programs, parties and night skies By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager Can you believe it is August already? With so many things going on in Central Oregon and Sunriver this month, it is hard to keep track of everything that is going on. We have a bunch of programs going on this month. We will be at both the Table Mt. Star Party in Washington and the Oregon Star Party at the start of the month. We are also excited about offering another special program titled “Solitude In The Cosmos: Looking for
Friends in the Great Cosmic Dark” with Shane Larson on Aug. 10 at 8 p.m. at the Pozzi Education building. Larson is a research associate professor of physics at Northwestern University, where he is the associate director of Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics. Reservations are highly recommended, since space is limited. Be sure to reserve your spot by going to www.sunrivernature center.org August is a great month to
view the night skies. With the addition of a couple new telescopes, and upgrades to others, it will be one of the best times to view the universe right here in Sunriver. The weather usually allows for us to be outside without a jacket under clear skies. Jupiter will remain the focus at the beginning of our program. Saturn continues to get higher in the sky and is still a prime target. August is the time we look at the southern part of the sky, as many of the nebulae are in a great position to observe. You will see that the dense concentration of bright nebulae and star clusters lie just above the teapot pattern of Sagittarius in the southern sky. Among the chief splendors are the Lagoon Nebula, Trifid Nebula and the Messier objects: M8, M20, M24 and an awesome globular cluster M22. If you come by the observatory, some of the telescopes will give you some great views of these objects and others. You don’t want to miss the “old faithful” of meteor showers – the Perseids on Aug. 11-12. Remember the latest census figures). The lead story provides some interesting clues by reporting that Georgia Gov. Richard Russell is now running for the
that activity increases sharply in the hours after midnight. Our kids classes will continue this month, with our popular rocket classes on Tuesday and Thursday, and the Rover class on Wednesday. Our Solar System class on Friday is becoming very popular, as students go inside the inflatable planetarium and then get to build their own model of our solar system. Our new Planetarium Experience continues on Friday and Saturday, with shows at 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Check out the website for more information and registration. I want to thank all of the people that have made it out to the observatory. I hope you enjoy August under the night skies and come by the observatory and enjoy it with us, after all, summer will be gone in no time.

Four on the fourth for swan family Four trumpeter swan cygnets hatched at Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory on, of all days, the Fourth of July. The cygnets are the offspring of Sunriver’s resident swans, Grace and Gus. The cygnets are the first offspring produced by Grace with her new mate Gus. Gus was transferred from W.K. Kellogg Biological Station Bird Sanctuary in Michigan and released onto Lake Aspen in Sunriver on May 13. Grace and Gus were observed mating a couple of days after being introduced and Grace had been sitting on a nest since late May. Gus was a replacement for Grace’s previous mate, Chuck, who was illegally shot by a hunter and had to be humanely euthanized on Thanksgiving Day 2017. Chuck and Grace produced cygnets in 2016 and 2017.
The last brood, consisting of four cygnets, hatched two years ago on the July 4, 2017 holiday. The trumpeter swans that reside at the Sunriver Nature Center are part of a reintroduction program managed by Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Trumpeter Swan Society to expand breeding trumpeter swan numbers and distribution in south central and southeast Oregon. In the fall, the trumpeter swan cygnets will be transferred from Sunriver to Summer Lake Wildlife Area where they will join a breeding flock of wild trumpeter swans. For up-to-date information on the cygnets and photos, visit the nature center’s Facebook page (@Sunriver NatureCenterObservatory) or Instagram page (@sun river_nature_center).

egon. While Choate’s art is in the vein of abstract, a subtle representation of trees and mountain shapes always find a way into the composition. Texture and color play a vital role in the success of his paintings. Mosaic artist Jessica Carleton is drawn to color and texture and her mosaics provide the perfect opportunity to exploit those qualities. Carleton offers a diverse variety of beautiful and sometimes functional pieces – using each piece as an opportunity to display her talent and joy of the process. It is easy to sense Carleton’s previous background in quilting when enjoying her newest love in the art field. Artists Gallery Sunriver is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver.

exhibit at Sunriver Lodge gallery. The exhibition reflects her continued affection for Oregon and its popular vineyards and mountain vistas. The artist chooses an enhanced yet realistic palette drawn from nature. She combines strong, defining foundational strokes with softer, gestural surface strokes, creating both texture and movement. She excels in painting water with a clear vision of light on its surface, depicting the qualities of both refraction and reflection. Her subject of water also evidences her awareness of hues and values, creating a realistic vision of fluidity on the surface. Donaca notes her satisfaction in her art over the years. “Yet I measure my true ability by the pleasure the public takes in viewing my work and that my clients take in a choosing a piece,” she said.

Sunriver You: Learn about native landscaping By Helen Heeren Sunriver You is an opportunity for the greater Sunriver community to participate in lifelong learning by matching up “people who know stuff” with “people who want to learn stuff. Our website – www.sun rivreryou.com – is the easiest way to stay informed on what classes are currently being offered and to reserve your ticket for a class. Classes are open to all and free, but a reserved ticket is required via the website. • Creating a Natural, Wildlife friendly and Fire-safe YardWednesday, Aug. 7, 4-5:30 p.m. at Sunriver Public Library. Taught by Lee Stevenson. Whether you are new to gardening in Sunriver or have
been at it for a while, you are bound to learn tips, techniques and treasures in this class. Topics will include native “nature scaping,” pollinator-friendly native and quasi-native flowers and shrubs, shrubs not to remove and why, wildlife friendly fuels reduction and what makes ponderosa pines so hardy and desirable. Stevenson is a retired life sciences teacher and has “naturescaped” several homes. His passion for the past 15 years is Project Ponderosa – a local, award-winning program that engages local students and the community in potting, growing and selling 1,200plus ponderosa seedlings each year to support restoration of our community forests and raise funds for participating schools and the Sunriver Nature Center.

Where’s the beef? By Tim Mertins So far this year the Sunriver Anglers Club has presented such topics as What is Euro-Nymphing by Dave and Mary Ann Dozer, Bass Fishing in Central Oregon by Brian O’Keefe, Fishing the Crooked River by John Olschewsky, The Utah Cutthroat Slam by Gary Lewis and Fly-Fishing Hosmer Lake by Phil Fisher. August will be a bit different because of the topic on the menu. The Sunriver Anglers Club will not have scallop crudo with lemon and piment d’Espelette, it will not be salmon-and-citrus salad with poppy seed dressing, nor will it be oysters on the half-shell with ceviche topping. We will not serve up spicy uni-lardo sushi in lettuce cups and we
that draws close to a hundred people. It is a fun and festive event where you can meet new people as well as reconnect with old friends and share all those fish stories while dining on Bos Taurus. Meet and talk with many of the vendors that help the Sunriver Anglers Club be successful throughout the year. If you would like to join the anglers for this event, please contact the website below and let us know how many will be joining us so we can prepare in advance. The Sunriver Anglers Club is committed to fishing, conservation, education and, this month, eating in and around Sunriver. If you would like more information or would like to get more involved by joining with other club members, please visit our website at www. sunriveranglers.org.
Fly Tying Corner: callibaetis pullover cripple By Phil Fischer For this month’s pattern, I have chosen a favorite fly for imitating callibaetis during the hatch – the Callibaetis Pullover Cripple. This is an adaptation of both a Pablo’s Cripple and a Quigly Cripple, choosing

will not have smoked salmon involtini with artichoke hearts. Although poached tuna with kumquats and jalapeño sounds yummy, we will not talk about that either. What the Sunriver Anglers Club does have for you on Thursday, Aug. 8 beginning at 5 p.m. at the Fall River Hatchery is a delicious tri-tip cookout dinner. You may ask the question Where’s the beef? … and the answer is definitely at the Fall River Hatchery off south Century Drive. This dinner will include, for the modest price of $12 per person, a generous portion of beef tri-tip along with garlic bread, beans cooked in a secret recipe, a variety of salads, ice cream for desert and beer, soda or good old-fashioned water to quench your thirst. This is an annual event that the club members participate in

the best components of each pattern. Because cripples occur throughout the hatch, I will fish this pattern in tandem with dun or spinner imitations to give myself a better chance of success. It is a very effective fly on East Lake, Hosmer, Lava and others. On a recent Sunriver Anglers outing to Lake of the Dunes, it was responsible for many hookups. Callibaetis mayfly hatches
start occurring on local lakes in June and will last through the summer and into early fall.

to lay eggs to begin the cycle anew. Fishing techniques for this insect vary, from nymphs fished beneath an indicator, to wind drifted or stripped, to fishing dun and spinner patters on the surface. Hatches usually occur in the later morning and extend into the afternoon on many days. To extend your fishing day, stock up on various stages of this insect to cover the hatch thoroughly. As callibaetis mayflies hatch, many have difficulty passing through the surface tension on the water and fail to fully emerge as an adult. These unfortunate insects often become trout food, as the fish key on insects that won’t fly away. That is one of the main reasons I focus on fishing cripple patterns. Trout key on this stage as cripples are the easiest to intercept during a hatch. Trout will swim along the surface and slurp down the cripples. Time the rise with your cast and bingo, fish on! But often it can be a challenging time to fish due to the large number of flies on the water. This Callibaetis Cripple pattern is proven during the hatch. Give it a try. I think you will like the results.

Power of 100 to help abused children When children are being hurt by someone they love and trust, it is very difficult to tell others. And when they do, everyone should listen.

Since 2014 the number of physical abuse cases evaluated has increased by 142 percent. Project THRIVE provides therapy and family support services. Children are able to share their experiences in a child friendly non-intimidating environment, which assists significantly in engaging them and their families in a healing process. Beginning therapeutic services with children as quickly as possible is essential in order to minimize the long-term effects of child abuse.

High Desert Museum features new exhibits New exhibition: Moon Country: Oregon and the Space Race Moon Country: Oregon and the Space Race marks the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing and celebrates this region’s involvement in that historic achievement. As the space race between the United States and Soviet Union reached a fever pitch, Central Oregon played an important yet little-known role in preparing U.S. astronauts for lunar landscapes. NASA thought that Central Oregon’s volcanic terrain resembled that of the moon, creating an ideal place for geologists to train astronauts and test equipment. The Apollo program trained in Central Oregon between 1964 and 1966. The exhibit places the lunar landing within a broader national and international context, while exploring this momentous event through the lens of local history. Open through Nov. 10.

RACKET CORNER
Doubles tips, pickleball lessons By Summer Collins, Director of Racquet Sports Doubles tennis is a game of strategy and patterns. A good doubles team can communicate effectively and move as a unit when each player knows their role on the court. The key to success in doubles is being able to move from a neutral position (one player at the baseline, one at the net) or defensive position (both players at the baseline) into an offensive position (both players at the net). This is achieved by following one simple rule: once the baseliner crosses over the baseline into the court to return a shot, they should continue moving forward into the court and rush the net with their partner. Now the team is in an offensive, “two up” position – the ideal place to be during a doubles point. The greatest fear most teams have with this position is the fear of being lobbed, but this can be avoided by staggering at the net. This means the initial baseliner who is coming forward into the net will stay just a few steps behind their partner to cover the lob, giving the net player the freedom to close the net as tight as possible and look for their opportunity to poach and finish the point without worrying about the ball going over their head. This concept is called “leading and trailing,” with the initial net player taking the leading position and the baseline player coming forward taking the trailing position. With both the lob and the net covered, the offensive team now has the greatest advantage to win the point. Just remember: crash the net, take advantage of your opportunities and work as a team.

Pickleball lessons offered weekly
By Lou Bayol, Pickleball Pro You keep hearing about a new sport with the funny name that is becoming very popular across the U.S. It’s called pickleball and it’s very popular in Sunriver. We have six beautiful outdoor courts at Fort Rock Park that are often busy with people of all ages having an extremely fun time playing. For anyone who wants to learn more about pickleball but were afraid to ask, the Sunriver Owners Association has you covered. We offer 90-minute beginner clinics on Monday and Friday at both 9 a.m. and 10:20 a.m. The clinics are taught by certified instructors and include learning the rules of the game, various pickleball shots (there are many) and game strategy.

STARS Kids Drama Camp a success By Michele Hans Peter Pan, smiling his boyish grin, stood with his feet apart and his fists on his hips as Tinker Bell whirled onto the stage and threw her pixie dust into the air to sprinkle the audience with a little bit of “theater magic” before the cast of 22 young stars took their final bows. After an eight week stage craft training course, the lights finally dimmed on the Sunriver Stars Community Theater’s (SSCT) second annual STARS Kids Drama Camp Showcase. Thanks to a generous grant from the Sunriver-La Pine Rotary Club and the charitable hospitality of The Door church; the mission and vi-
sion of SSCT to enrich the lives of youth within its community has been fulfilled for a second year. Rotary Club member Karen Newcomb, owner of Sunriver Office Services, provided support by offering copier services at a discounted rate. Newcomb, representing the Rotary Club, attended the student showcase and received appreciation from SSCT and the drama camp for the Rotary Club’s support of the program. Students ages seven to 13 from Sunriver, La Pine and Bend – began their training in April with a three-day theater arts “boot camp.” The students continued to work two afternoons a week for eight weeks of education in the the-
ater arts. The class consisted of several returning students, along with almost half being new to the program. The camp was offered free of charge, with the only requirement being a three-hour parent volunteer commitment to assist during the weekly classes or to facilitate the student showcase. “The goals of the STARS Kids Drama Camp are to offer training in stage craft skills and to build each student’s personal confidence while still allowing them to have fun. I feel these goals were met as evidenced in the final showcase,” said Michele Hans, Kids Drama Camp Director. With years of experience in teaching and directing theater arts programs for youth in Southern
STARS Kids Drama Camp director Michele Hans, left, thanks Karen Newcomb of Sunriver Office Services and Sunriver-La Pine Rotary Club for support of the Sunriver Stars Kids Drama Camp program.
California, Hans developed the curriculum for the camp. Students were encouraged in the development of positive character traits and then challenged to exhibit those traits during their interaction with fellow students and their instructors. The students were taught one or more drama techniques each week along with their character studies. As a result of the volunteer efforts of SSCT members, parents, community members and local business owners, the students received instruction in dance, music and swordplay technique in addition to basic drama instruction. SSCT’s artistic director Victoria Kristy shared hours of her time to teach the students a variety of on-stage and backstage drama techniques designed to prepare the students
for being cast members in larger SSCT productions. “The STARS camp is an extension of what the children might take on in one of our big productions,” said Kristy. This year’s drama camp students were invited to try out for the fall production of “Nutcracker.” Learn more about auditions by visiting www.sunriverstars.org Heidi Drake, owner of Downward Dog Yoga & Wellness Studio, taught basic dance technique. Bonnie Marder, also from Downward Dog, trained the students in relaxation and breath control. SSCT member Robert Perrine shared his theater arts talent by teaching basic drama technique. To the delight and enthusiasm of the students, Perrine also taught basic sword play techniques. The cast also enjoyed the skills of a few very talented parents and community volunteers. Kellie Wright ran the “behind the scenes” program and served as the general “goto gal.” Melisa Hoffman led the cast in music instruction. Karene Hartmann performed the role of assistant teacher. Former student of Hans’ drama program in Southern California, Vreyah Palmantier, volunteered her time as acting coach. At this time, the SSCT board hopes to continue to offer the STARS Kids Drama Camp each year. “Theater is magic. All children should have the opportunity to experience that,” said Kristy. You can help spread the magic by supporting next year’s camp. Visit www.sunriverstars. org for more information. Keep YOUR public lands CLEAN AND GREEN!

Sunriver Stars Community Theater enters eighth season It seems like only yesterday that starting a community theater in Sunriver was just a dream of founder Victoria Kristy. Fast forward, and amazingly, they are announcing their eighth season. Sunriver Stars Community Theater (SSCT) produced 27 plays in all – comedies, mysteries, musicals and dramas starring local actors from 2 to 86 as well as presenting two children’s drama camps. SSCT’s 2019/2020 season
will include one musical play starring adults working with children (think “Secret Garden” and “Oliver”) and two comedies. Kicking off the season, the SSCT will produce “Nutcracker,” a musical play based on E.T.A. Hoffman’s “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.” Directed by Victoria Kristy, performances will be Dec. 6-7 and Dec. 12-14. “Our fall show, including children, is usually presented

in October,” said Kristy. “But I want to incorporate our local child actors into the presentation of holiday magic this year.” Auditions will be held Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. in room 208 of the Village Properties building. A cast of children and adults are needed to portray Godfather Drosselmeier, the Nutcracker, Mouse King and Queen, Fritz, Marie, their parents and nanny, Victorian neighbors, Clara, a myriad of toys and let’s not forget the mice. The winter production will
be “Let Him Sleep ’Till it’s Time for His Funeral,” a farce written by Peg Kehret and will be directed by Sharon Sackett. Sackett enjoys working with a small cast of quick-witted adults with a dry sense of humor and this play is the perfect choice for that. Twists and turns abound as our main character, about to celebrate a special birthday, fears his wife has other plans. Auditions will be held Dec. 10 and the show will be presented Feb. 28-29 and March 5-7. The spring show also prom-
ises to be a hoot. Spend a day with all the whacky but loveable characters of Tuna, Texas, the third smallest town in Texas. “Greater Tuna,” written by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard, the play will be directed by Sandy Klein, wellknown Bend artist, director and production manager of the former 2nd Street Theater. Klein is delighted to be working with the Sunriver Stars and can’t wait to introduce you to the good folks of Tuna. Sure to be a crowd pleaser, auditions are March 29-30 and the show will run May 15-16 and May 21-23. Information and tickets may always be found on the SSCT website at www.sunri verstars.org

A first draft has been reviewed by the board chair Fister and consultant Scott Hayes prior to sharing it with the committee. It will then be reviewed by the SSD board and eventually presented to the public for further input. Target date for completion is the end of this year. New business –Lt.

Both fire and police are looking at additional training, equipment and protocols so there is less risk to staff. –Approved the Police Collective Bargaining Agreement with an adjustment to include a 2 percent cost of living increase. Old language was also cleaned up to make the agreement relevant to today. –Approved 2 percent wage increases for non-represented employees, including both fire and police chief, assistant fire chief, administrative assistants, public information officer and bike officers. –Approved modification of the wage scale to create a larger separation of wages between ranks within the police department to avoid someone being promoted, yet taking a cut in pay. –Approved board chair to sign the amended Deschutes County 911 Agreement.

Sunriver Citizen Patrol has busy summer By Dennis Dishaw On May 6 the Initial Response Team worked with Fred Cliff of Deschutes Search and Rescue on “sound sweep” searches. Techniques using whistles and members calling out to the subject pointed out the many issues searching in the wooded areas of Sunriver. But practice makes for successful searches. Later in the month, Sunriver Fire Chief Tim Moor tested the siren system in Sunriver. Citizen Patrol members were placed throughout the area to report on the level and clarity of the sirens. This system had not been used for some time and the test showed two sirens needed work. May 25 saw patrol members set up their new table-top display in The Village at Sunriver during Kid’s Day. The focus was reaching out to the adults in attendance regarding emergency preparedness. A demonstration of the equipment for Project
Lifesaver drew a lot of interest. A new Saturday patrol was authorized by Police Chief Cory Darling for the summer months. These two-person teams focus on visiting many locations with employees to discuss both the siren system, the
new cell phone alert app and possible evacuation routes. The teams remind the employees that during an emergency the visitors in their store might be completely unaware and would need guidance. SROA conducted a Summer Safety Workshop the evening of June 11. The CP table top T P,
Summer: hot and cold safety By Jim Bennett, Sunriver Fire & Rescue It’s August and the summer is quickly passing, but don’t worry we still have plenty of nice weather and outdoor fun to go. Our high desert sun and summer warmth is a big part of why we live here and come to visit. We have countless beautiful, clear, sunny days during our summers with an occasional thunderstorm rolling though and illuminating the sky and often shaking the earth below our feet as it rumbles through. As we’ve shared many times throughout the year, part of

our summertime focus at the fire house is on wildland fires. From training, planning for emergencies to responding; our summers have a strong emphasis on keeping wildfire out of Sunriver. However, fire is not our only focus, it’s also about personal safety and staying healthy while having fun in the sun. Unfortunately, each year we respond to reports of residents and visitors who have experienced a little too much sun and suffering the effects of heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. It can be easy to get fooled into thinking “it’s not that hot” because of our relatively low humidity, but the reality is, when it’s hot, it’s hot! Depending on your level of activity, age and outdoor temperature, your water needs can vary. According to the Mayo Clinic, the average adult should set a goal of at least eight glasses (of at least 8 ounces) of water every day.

Top hikes near Sunriver By Dan Hilburn Sunriver is a paradise for hikers. There are dozens of trails nearby, many of them with spectacular views and interesting features. This month I’ll feature my top five starting with the easiest and closest, along with information about how to access them and what to expect. In September, we’ll run part two of nearby hikes. 1. Benham Falls. Just north of Sunriver, this beautiful spot is accessible most of the year and a hike there can be customized to fit all ages and fitness levels. The easiest way to reach Benham Falls is to drive to the Benham Falls Trailhead and walk the ½-mile path to the falls. From Circle 10, head east on Cottonwood Road, pass under Highway 97 and continue north parallel to the highway. After two miles pass under Highway 97 again, pass the Lava Lands Visitor Center and continue west to the Benham Falls Trailhead parking lot. 2. Lava Butte. The Lava Lands Visitor Center has two short hikes with interpretive signs into the lava field behind
the Visitor Center. Ride the shuttle to the top and there is a ¼-mile hike that circles the summit crater. The view is spectacular. There is an entrance fee and another fee for the shuttle, but the experience is worth it. After hours you can park in the auxiliary lot west of the pay lot, pass through a people-only gate and hike up the road. Hike up for the sunset on a night with a full moon rising and you’ll never forget it. 3. South Canyon Loop. Bend has an amazing trail that starts right from the Old Mill District. It’s popular because it’s close, it’s easy, and the scenery is spectacular. Park at either Farewell Bend Park or River Bend Park and head upstream on either side of the Deschutes River under the Bill Healy Bridge. A mile and a half upriver, cross a footbridge and descend on the opposite side to return to your car. 4. Shevlin Park Loops. Shevlin Park, 3 miles north of downtown, is Bend’s largest park. It is a whole canyon with Tumalo Creek running down the middle. There are trails
along the creek and on the canyon rim. Footbridges near the parking lot, and at 1 mile and 2 ½ miles upstream make it easy to hike loops of varying lengths. Kids will enjoy the pocket beaches, while their parents marvel at the wildness of a place so close to town. 5. Benham Falls Loop. You don’t need a car to visit Benham Falls; many people ride bicycles there using the paved 2 ½-mile Sun-Lava trail that starts just east of Circle 7. Combining the Sun-Lava Trail with the Deschutes River Trail makes a nice loop hike for intermediate level hikers. The Deschutes River Trailhead also begins at the small parking lot east of Circle 7. Look for a faint path T H,

Quilts, history topics of author events By Deon Stonehouse On Saturday, Sept. 21 at 5 p.m. popular author Craig Johnson presents the latest in the Sheriff Walt Longmire series, “Land of Wolves.” Walt and Vic are called to the scene of a sheep’s demise, it is presumed the predator is the lone wolf recently seen in the area. Scouting around, Walt discovers the body of a shepherd and the search is on for a two-legged predator. The Basque community is involved and people are riled up
about the wolf (both for and against). This is a great entry in the series. This year’s event will be held at Three Rivers School. Pre-purchase “Land of Wolves” for a ticket to attend. • On Saturday, Aug. 3 the Sunriver Quilt Show turns The Village at Sunriver into a delightfully colorful display of quilts.

should delight both mystery readers and quilters. • Saturday, Aug. 24 at 5 p.m. Debra Gwartney presents “I Am A Stranger Here Myself ” – part memoir and part history. Narcissa and Marcus Whitman were sent to the Pacific Northwest to establish a mission and convert the Native Americans to Christianity. Narcissa had her heart set on being a missionary to Native Americans but is ill suited for the task. They placed their mission just outside current day Walla Walla, where they rapidly set about converting the prairie to agricultural use for their benefit. The Whitmans had a rigid view of religion and Western culture and were determined the natives should accept their beliefs. It didn’t work out well and ultimately culminated into the Whitman massacre in 1847. Gwartney explores Narcissa’s background, the actions she takes that lead to the massacre, giving a vivid account of her life and tragedy. Tabitha Brown, featured in Jane Kirkpatrick’s “This Road We Traveled,” is mentioned. Eliza Spalding, a child, was one of the survivors of the massacre, her story is told in Kirkpatrick’s “The Memory Weaver.”
Gwartney will have you interested in this dark chapter of western history, and you may find yourself reading more about the era. The chapters about Narcissa alternate with chapters about Gwartney’s life, her childhood in Idaho, the struggle to define herself and her patriarchal ancestors. Politics differ between the generations, Gwartney seems upset about the Bundy takeover of Malheur refuge and the subsequent lack of significant consequences for their violent seizing of property that belongs to all citizens. Her father not so much. She shows both affection for her family, and the need to walk her own path. The memoir portions of the book are written with openness and intimacy. • Saturday, Aug. 31 at 5 p.m. Jane Kirkpatrick presents her latest historical fiction, “One More River to Cross.” Telling the stories of women who contributed substantially to the settling of the West with writing that both entertains and enlightens is a hallmark of Jane Kirkpatrick’s many books. Her devoted following have made her novels New York Time’s bestsellers and her events are enthusiastically attended. Kirkpatrick always T A,

puts on a good show. “One More River to Cross” is set during winter in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in 1844, two years before the tragic events of the Donner Party. The Stevens-Murphy group was one of the first wagon trains to attempt this crossing into California. The party separates into three groups, one going overland around Lake Tahoe, another staying with the wagons, and the larger group taking shelter in a cabin by the Yuba River as they all strive to survive the winter.

grandmother is succumbing, in a most public way, to dementia. The Batman escapade was a total accident – well, sort of. Leia is a popular illustrator of graphic novels, not prone to anonymous hookups. At a convention she imbibed too many tequilas and had her way with the masked crusader. She is 38, single and wants this baby. Before she can tell her family she is pregnant with a biracial baby by an anonymous superhero, a distress message arrives that her 90-year-old grandmother Birchie has gone off the rails. Leia had no clue, even though she kept in touch with Birchie through phone calls and visits – she never suspected anything was awry. The Briggs founded their small Alabama town, are wealthy and influential – although Birchie and Leia are the last of their line (well… until the arrival of Leia’s surprise). Birchie lives alone in a big old Victorian home with her lifelong friend, Wattie. It was under the care of this friend that her deterioration was kept secret. Now Birchie needs help. Leia will find secrets in that big old Victorian that may bring dire consequences. The book is laugh out loud funny, tremendously ambitious and has a hopeful message for the future. • Aug. 26 Mystery Book Club discusses “Greeks Bearing Gifts” by Phillip Kerr.

Germany where he works in a morgue in Munich. It doesn’t pay much but the patrons are quiet and do not argue with him. He runs into a cop who remembers him from the old days of the Nazis, and is blackmailed into taking part in a scheme that progresses to murder. Bernie’s reactions land him a new job as an insurance adjuster, a step up allowing a few more comforts. Checking out bogus insurance claims reminds him of being a detective. His investigative experience pays off in money saved for the bosses, and Bernie is rewarded with a raise and a cushy assignment to Greece. The maritime adjuster is sick, so they send Bernie to check out a claim about the sinking of a boat. Bernie knows nothing about boats, the bosses understand

this, but he is a smart guy and they really don’t expect anything fishy. So far, so good, a trip to warm Greece away from a Munich winter. Of course, things do not work out so easily for Bernie. The client, Siegfried Witzel, was not a pleasant person, a rather
paranoid man quick to anger. Bernie discovers him quite dead. The police find Bernie with the body and things look dire. But Lt. Leventis suspects Witzel’s murderer is a war criminal, a former SS officer that he has been trying to capture for years. If Bernie will help, then he will let Bernie go free, if not Bernie makes a nice suspect, being found with the body, from Germany, and so forth. At heart, Bernie is a nice guy often finding himself in difficult situations. Bernie Gunther is a cynical lead in a well written series salted with sly humor.

nine Sunriver scores over both matches averaged 35.2 points per man. Nice playing, gentlemen! Memorial winners; members remembered Last year’s winners of the Memorial Trophy, Dan Frantz and Dave Hennessy, produced a valiant effort to repeat as champions only to finish in second place two points behind the 2016 and 2017 winners, Scott Brown and Doug Johnson. Johnson and Brown scored an incredible 17 under par in a one-net format, with Johnson also taking individual low net honors for the day at 62. The memorial event featured an SRMGC sponsored lunch afterwards, and is held in honor of those members who passed away in the previous year. This year SRMGC president Dave Buhaly and the club honored Harlie Peterson and Tom Tullis. Mr. Peterson was a member of the club over a decade ago and passed away in 2018. Tom Tullis passed away at the age of 80 in June and will be remembered for his high energy level, his gentle sense of humor and his affable demeanor. Annie Tullis, Tom’s wife of 58 years, and two of their four children were present for the luncheon. They lived in Sunriver and environs for over 30 years, with Tom being active in the club and as a golf marshal for much of the time. There will be a memorial for Tom on

display was manned by four of our members who discussed both the sirens and cell phone alert systems with those attending. On June 19, The Rotary Club invited Citizen Patrol members Dennis Dishaw and Bill Philbrook to discuss dementia issues in Sunriver. Project LifeSaver was demonstrated after a discussion about Alzheimers Disease. Dennis pointed out: “We know that we have some of our residents who cause worry when they wander.” The audience was encouraged to have those caregivers call the Sunriver PD for a confidential discussion. Members of Citizen Patrol prepared for the three days of Pacific Crest races. On June 25, members spent the morning receiving instructions on dealing with runners overheating. Later they reviewed traffic control safety. The 32 members of Citizen Patrol then spent a total of 571 hours providing traffic safety for the Pac Crest’s three days of running and biking events. The SROA and Sunriver Service District again asked Citizen Patrol to conduct extra patrols to discourage fireworks use in the area. Under supervision of police Sgt. PJ Beaty, they fielded three teams in patrol vehicles and two teams on bicycles. While there were reports of possible fireworks –none were found. The Sunriver Women’s Club Art Fair will see the CP members conducting traffic for the vendors as they arrive on Aug. 8. The challenge is that the vendors arrive in large vehicles, many with trailers which need to be allowed into the village for setup of their booth and then parked in an adjacent lot in an orderly fashion. This year, Citizen Patrol will set up their tabletop display for all three days during the fair. Again, the focus will be emergency preparedness discussions with the many visitors. All this while continuing to conduct normal patrols during the week where map boxes were refilled, vacation house checks were performed and acting as ambassadors to our many visitors.

Owner Enrichment Committee is here to help Suppose you have an idea for an activity or club that would be a good fit for Sunriver. How do you get it started and how do you spread the word to other people that might be interested? The Sunriver Owner Enrichment Committee (OEC) can help. This committee was created by the SROA Board of Directors as an experiment in the fall of 2017 and was recently made permanent. A list of OEC accomplishments to-date follows along with an introduction to the brand-new process for starting a new Sunriver club/activity: • Created the “First Saturday Owner Happy Hour.” Held 4:30-6:30 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month in the owners living room at SHARC, the event provides a forum for owners to connect and build a greater sense of community. Average attendance has been 68 participants each month. • Initiated communication process with Sunriver Police and Fire chiefs on disaster preparation and education programs. Short presentations targeted at residents and visitors are ongoing and a larger presentation in the works. • Collected and organized a database of more than 200 current social, educational, recreational and cultural programs available in the Sunriver area. • Sponsored a viewing of “Up River,” a movie about the restoration of the Willamette River through citizen efforts. • Provided topics for a new “Did You Know?” feature in the Sunriver Scene in an effort to inform the commu-
nity on subjects and rules that need more awareness. • In partnership with the SROA Recreation Department, participated in a farmto-table dinner at Rainshadow Organics Farm. A second excursion is planned for this fall. • Gathered owner input about social, educational, recreation and cultural interests during the association’s 2018 annual meeting, Owner Happy Hours and SROA owner meeting in the Willamette Valley. • Responded to owners’ interests in helping launch three new clubs: the co-ed Sunriver Hiking Club, Pétanque Club and Sunriver You (which hosts educational sessions on a variety of topics). • Organized new owner orientation tours during the 2019 Home Expo. • Reviewed the opportunities and challenges for educational programs in Sunriver and recommended criteria for determining whether or not proposed programs should receive SROA support. • Began assessing the feasibility of hosting an SROA volunteer recognition event this fall. • Began discussion of a Sunriver community calendar. If you have an idea for an activity or club, here’s how the OEC can help you get it
Z
going. First visit the SROA recreation office at SHARC and speak with Steven Stanfield, Director of Recreation. He’ll provide you with a Sunriver Owners Activity Request Form, and if appropriate, a How to Start a Club in Sunriver handout. Fill out the request form and turn it in to the recreation office. Your request will be reviewed by the OEC at their monthly meet-
ing. You are also encouraged to come and present your idea to the committee. The OEC will review the request form and make a recommendation to SROA staff to support it or not. Support may come in the form of publicity, a venue (e.g. SHARC) or a mini-grant. Since the OEC is made up of well-connected owners, they may also be able to connect you to people with similar interests. The OEC’s purpose is to
enrich the experience of both Sunriver resident and non-resident owners. The committee meets monthly, on the third Wednesday, in the SROA board room at 2 p.m. Meetings are open to everyone and there is always an opportunity for public comment. Contact the chair, Dave Rhodes (360355-5260) or secretary, Jane Boubel (541-593-2641), if you have questions or would like to get on the agenda.

Letters from readers
Support for Pacific Crest By Debbie Baker, Sunriver I am writing to express support for the Pacific Crest weekend hoping it will continue beyond 2020. Like many full-time residents, our family vacationed in Sunriver many years before retiring and moving here in 2011. We have great memories with our children enjoying the bike paths, the mountain, the pool, the river, the Village and of course Goodies. My kids are now in their 20s and 30s and have babies of their own. Every year we have family

look forward to the evening cool-downs where we can sit out on the deck, take a walk, relax by the river or just open the windows and let the cooler air refresh us. However, we don’t have to wait for the evenings to find relief from heat – we can head to the pools, rivers and lakes. During the last couple months of summer, the Deschutes River warms to a more comfortable level and can be incredibly refreshing for a dip or float. While the Deschutes is relatively slow moving (or it appears that way from its size), there are areas upstream and downstream from Sunriver with fast moving water, rapids and falls. Use caution whenever entering any body of water and know what’s ahead, when to pull out your watercraft and also be aware of floating debris and objects above and just below the water’s surface (such as trees and boulders). These hidden objects can tip
and friends join us for this fun weekend (we had 18 this year). There are many sporting events vying for participants but none with a family atmosphere like Pacific Crest. All generations participating in healthy pursuits, from age 2 to 80 years of age. If you’ve ever watched the races, the pride, encouragement and joy are evident. Many vacationers stay longer than the weekend and support the local economy days after. These vacationers have a wonderful time and come back to Sunriver at other times. Some will buy houses and even move here. you over, pull and/or trap you under the water. The Oregon Marine Board reminds us that you must have one U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket for everyone on board your canoe, kayak, paddleboard, etc. All children under 12 years of age are required to wear a life jacket. You must also carry a whistle or compressed airhorn in case you need to notify others that you are in distress. Water, especially in our high Cascade lakes can be downright cold. Even during the summer months, with limited warming, melting snows and cold springs, some lakes remain bone chilling. Be sure you are prepared for the cold shock when entering or jumping into the water. For some, it can incredibly invigorating, but for others, it can be nearly debilitating when enveloped by cold water. Remember to watch young people for signs of excessive cold exposure. Have fun in the sun and the water and enjoy our warm August days.

Mary McCallum Park improvements By Cindy McCabe, Sunriver I would like to thank the SROA Board, General Manager, Asst. General Manager and the Public Works Director for moving forward with some long-awaited improvements to Mary McCallum Park. The basic improvements of the new paved entrance and circle, the paved and graveled parking areas, the additional paved pathway to the Pavilion extending to the river and the widening of the existing pathway were greatly appreciated by the park patrons attending the annual Sunriver Area Community Picnic on
July 17. The addition of the ADA parking space and ADA access to view the river is a long overdue amenity for our less mobile population. I encouraged picnic attendees to let the SROA Board know how they enjoyed these improvements made to the park this year and asked them to submit any ideas for future improvements to them as well. Restrooms were still a #1 priority! For those of you who haven’t yet visited the park since these improvements were made, I
encourage you to stop by and see for yourself. I know you will be pleased. We’re all looking forward to additional improvements that will make this park a natural beauty for all Sunriver owners to fully enjoy. We have a beautiful river location that is available to all owners. Let’s make the most of it! Many thanks again to the SROA Board and SROA management for your support of improvement projects at Mary McCallum Park.
