Chuck the trumpeter swan.
Man pleads guilty in swan shooting
Jordan A. Dupuis, 22, has plead guilty and admitted to criminal negligence in the shooting, and eventual death, of trumpeter swan Chuck in November 2017. Dupuis appeared in Deschutes County Court on June 11 and made a plea agreement to serve two days in jail, two years of probation and 80 hours of community service. His sentence will also include three-year suspension from hunting, forfeiture of his firearm and paying $3,000 in restitution to the Trumpeter Swan Society as well as a $1,000 fine to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The sentence date was scheduled for June 22. Chuck was found Nov. 23, 2017 injured and bleeding in the Deschutes River, north of Gannet Lane, in Sunriver. Although Chuck was taken to an emergency animal center in Bend, the injury was severe enough that he had to be humanely euthanized. Chuck and his mate, Grace, were a popular attraction at the Sunriver Nature Center. A video of Chuck tearing down a sign noting: “Caution – Swan is Aggressive,” went viral on social media and turned the cheeky swan into a worldwide superstar. Chuck was also nicknamed “Sir Charles” due to his lineage as a direct descendant of swans given to the Queen of England by officials from Alberta, Canada. T S, SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN.

By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene At 4:50 p.m. on June 8, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck in the Three Sisters Wilderness area about 20 miles northwest of Sunriver. Although initial damage reports were slow coming in, portions of the southern-end of Sunriver was evacuated due to multiple natural gas leaks. The remainder of Sunriver was told to stay home and “shelter in place.” There were also reports of damage to roadways and the highway overpasses at Cottonwood and South Century Drive – cutting off Sunriver from any sort of mutual aid assistance from Bend and beyond. Before you panic this was only a TEST – part of a live Emergency Operations Center (EOC) drill conducted by the Sunriver Service District (SSD) on June 8. Aside from fire and police personnel, participants included staff from the Sunriver Owners Association, Sunriver Resort (including water and sewer services) and The Village at Sunriver. “We hope to never activate the EOC but we want to be prepared,” said Jim Bennett, Public Information Officer for Sunriver Fire & Rescue and who orchestrated the drill. The SSD and community stakeholders meet regularly to discuss emergency preparedness and conduct a live-scenario drill at least once a year. A disaster can come in many forms

and happen anytime. Wildfire, earthquake, hazardous material spill, severe weather, flood – all have the potential to impact Sunriver. Sunriver’s location and distance from larger municipalities could delay response times for mutual aid assistance. The community, including its residents and visitors, need to be prepared and semi self-sufficient. “We may be on our own… depending on the incident,” said Bennett. “We may need to rely only on our own resources.”
One such resource includes the EOC’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), an all-hazard plan that describes how the SSD will organize and respond to emergencies and disasters in the community. “It’s our ‘bible’ for how we operate in an emergency,” said Bennett. Thanks to a grant from the Office of Grants and Training, United States Department of Homeland Security, the EOP was created in 2011-2012 by an T P,
Sunriver residents, visitors have new immediate care option St. Charles clinic opens in La Pine
By Andrea Hine Sunriver residents and visitors needing immediate care now have two options within the St. Charles network when they reach Highway 97 – each within a 15-minute drive. They can turn north to Bend or, with the recent opening of the newest St. Charles Family Care Clinic, south to La Pine. Joining facilities in Bend, Redmond, Madras, Prineville and Sisters, this latest addition “will initially offer immediate (or urgent) care, with a rotation of physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners from other Bend facilities. The primary care adjunct will open at a
later date,” said Jeffrey Cool, St. Charles Foundation philanthropy officer. “It is predicted that southern Deschutes, North Klamath and Lake Counties are on the brink of major growth,” he continued. “Responding to the needs of a population already estimated at 25,000, and with more than three million visitors a year to the
region, the St. Charles facility will provide expanded access to health care for La Pine residents and those in nearby communities, including Sunriver, Gilchrist, Crescent, Chiloquin, Chemult, Christmas Valley, Silver Lake and Fort Rock.” This growth can be quantified with the number of patients served by the area’s existing health care provider, La Pine Community Health Center, which has operations in Sunriver, Gilchrist, Christmas Valley and La Pine. “Our patient count in La Pine alone doubled from 4,000 in 2013 to 8,000 last year,” noted CEO Charla DeHate.

SUNRIVER SCENE • JULY 2018
By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene SROA NEWS – Originally scheduled to begin in May, work is expected to start July 9 for full replacement of the pathway tunnel on West Cascade Road just west of Circle 4. The replacement of this tunnel was adopted last year by the board as part of the 2018 budget process as a capital replacement reserve item. Dependent on weather, construction should be finished by the end of July. This particular tunnel was chosen based on its aging condition and the traffic routing for this area will be
Clinic
As Dr. Jeff Absalon, St. Charles Chief Physician officer, elaborated: “Access to care should be convenient for the patient, not just for those providing the care. We are excited and looking to improve that significantly for south county residents.” Grand opening ceremonies in May attracted both the general public and people instrumental in bringing the project to fruition. “There aren’t even words to express how I feel, but – talking from the heart – the fact that I’m standing here now is really a tribute to how much our community supported the coming of St. Charles to La Pine,” said Corinne Martinez, lead speaker at the event. Martinez served as co-chair of the fundraising committee that raised nearly $1.2 million locally toward the total project cost of $5 million. Martinez’ sentiments were echoed by her fellow co-chair, Vic Russell. “Corinne and I have been with this project – which has spanned more than three years of planning and development – from the beginning. I want to affirm that we couldn’t have accomplished what we did without the people in this community,” said Russell. “By that I mean that every community in the area to be served, contributed to making this clinic a reality by their giving of resources, energy, time and money. We’re blessed to

relatively simple. West Cascade Road will be closed just beyond the entry driveway for the Ranch Cabins and east of Lake Road. Cabin owners will still have access off Circle 4 but anyone living along West Cascade Road between Circles 4 and 5 will need to access their residence via Abbot Drive and Circle 5 to reach West Cascade Road. Signage noting the closure will be placed at affected lanes along West Cascade. Foot traffic will be rerouted to other nearby pathways. The affected lanes include: • Lake, Todd, Sparks, Wickhave such good neighbors.” Senior Project Manager Shane Moffitt, who also oversaw the construction of St. Charles facilities in Prineville, Madras and south Bend, described features of La Pine’s 12,000-square-foot space. “They include 20-foothigh ceilings and abundant natural lighting to create a healing environment; separate waiting rooms for immediate care and family care patients; on-site laboratory services (including x-ray and ultrasound); and an employee drug-testing area with security features to prevent cheating. “There will be a community conference room with its own security gate that offers direct after-hours access to the building exterior and rest rooms,” he continued. “And an express check-in kiosk (similar to those offered in major airports) gives patients the opportunity of entering information relevant to their visit. Plans for this clinic also allow for 8,000 feet of expansion – which would equal the size of the Bend south facility.” Dennis Scott, La Pine mayor, spoke for those who will benefit from having expanded access to health care in Southern Deschutes County sayingw, “It’s a joy to have St. Charles here.” The St. Charles Family Care Clinic is located at 51781 Huntington Road in La Pine, just north of BiMart. Current hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. For more information, call 541-666-7930.

Constructed of corrugated metal, close to the end of its useful lifespan, the tunnel’s narrow, taco shell design only allows one-way, single-file traffic at a time. The tunnels are also subject to a myriad of issues, including flooding during heavy rains and mini ice rinks
in the winter. The new tunnel design will be widened, regraded and positioned to inhibit future flooding. The new design will be made of reinforced steel, precast concrete, with an opening 12-feet wide, and more than 7-feet at the highest point – allowing two-way traffic for pedestrians and bicyclists. Riders will no longer need to get off their bike and snake their way through the gate, which will also be removed. To be more fitting with Sunriver’s design standards, the concrete will receive decorative treatment on the exterior head and wing walls of the structure. T T,
Swan
The famous duo produced six cygnets over two summers (2016 and 2017), which have since been relocated to the Summer Lake Wildlife Area – an ideal habitat for swans. One of the 2016 offspring, Fiona, was also illegally shot and killed by a hunter at Summer Lake in October of that year. The hunter also shot another swan known as Hope – the first hatched in the wild at Summer Lake to reach adulthood. Hope was rescued, but later died. The largest native waterfowl in North America, trumpeter swans are a protected species in Oregon, and illegal to hunt. The swan deaths are a major setback for repopulation efforts. About 35 trumpeter swans live year-round in Oregon, along with others that migrate through the state. Not having Chuck around this breeding season has been difficult for Grace, who was introduced to Chuck when she came to the nature center in June 2015. Chuck arrived at the nature center 2013, after being relocated from Bend. Amanda Accamando, Sunriver Nature Center manager, said they are actively searching for a new mate for Grace, but it will likely be too late to produce any offspring this season.
Jordan A. Dupuis
As summer travelers visit the nature center, many who had visited previously are unaware that Chuck is gone. “Explaining the situation has been difficult,” said Accamando. “It’s almost like having to break the news all over the again.” The nature center had gathered donations for a $4,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the illegal shooting. The anonymous person who tipped off Sunriver Police and leading to the arrest of Dupuis on March 27 will receive the reward, Accamando said.

Code of Civility
Read the proposed Civility Code on the SROA website at www.sunriverowners.org Go to News & Notices and click on First Readings in the dropdown menu. Owners have 60 days to make comments on the proposed rule. Send email responses to infosroa@srowners.org that our employees and volunteers are treated fairly and with respect. Our employees and volunteers must not be expected to endure abuse, threats or harassment. Incivility costs. Or to put it another way, civility pays. Experts that have studied the impacts of incivility in the workplace all point to the efficiency drag-downs due to hostile work environments that ultimately contribute towards employee burnout and turnover. As professor/researcher at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, Christine Porath, puts it “Incivility is so costly. It robs cognitive resources, hijacks performance and creativity, and sidelines people from their
work.” Additionally, with each instance of incivility that takes place, our association must take the time – from a customer service perspective – to address the matter, which in the end impacts the organization’s overall effectiveness to serve our members and guests at large.
It all starts at the top
It is the role of the SROA Board of Directors to be a model for the entire membership. Or as Professor Porath puts it, “It all starts at the top. When leaders are civil, it increases performance and creativity, allows for early mistake detection and the initiative to take actions, and reduces emotional exhaustion.” Recognizing the potential harms caused by uncivil behavior, the Board has taken a stand in support of civility and respect within the Sunriver community. At our June board meeting, the SROA Board held a “first reading” of proposed changes to Sunriver Rules and Regulations to adopt a code of civility, identify improper conduct, and set out consequences for that improper conduct. In accord with the board’s long-standing policy regarding rules changes, this proposed addition to our rules will be open for comment by SROA members for a period of at least 60 days. We encourage SROA’s
owners to review the proposed rule and submit comments.
Why civility?
Central to a civil society and a foundation to one’s personal wellbeing, civility is similar to The Golden Rule, the ancient moral and ethical principle that many of us learned as children: treat others the way you would want to be treated. Research has proven that practicing kindness actually lowers blood pressure and promotes one’s own wellbeing. So, if for no other reason, choose civility for you. As we celebrate Independence Day, let’s take a moment to recall a comment on civility by President George Washington (who famously memorized the 110 Rules of Civility as a youth). The first of those rules of civility reads: “Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.” That says it all.
Disagreeing without being disagreeable
Some may worry that a code of civility will stifle dissent. I respectfully disagree. In fact, dissent expressed with civility can be essential to fulfilling SROA’s mission. Being open to different points of view, accepting constructive T M,

Brad Skinner
Why are you interested in serving on the SROA Board of Directors? Sunriver is one of Oregon’s greatest assets, and for 50 years, it has served as a model for recreation while preserving nature at its best. It would be a privilege and pleasure to serve on the board of directors, representing its owners and helping to ensure Sunriver’s uniqueness and character are sustained.
VOTING REMINDER FOR OWNERS Voting ballots will be mailed on July 12, 2018 and must be returned no later than 12pm on August 11, 2018.
I never considered serving on the SROA Board until the nominating committee asked me to run. After several days of vacillation I agreed. My husband and I have enjoyed living in Sunriver, first as owners of a vacation home and now as permanent residents. It is time for me to give back and make sure this environment is available for future owners and guests. Secondly, I am the only female candidate for an all-male Board and I believe the female perspective is necessary in the decisionmaking process. Finally, being a novice to Sunriver governance I would be an unbiased conduit for any homeowner’s concerns or recommendations.
My career accomplishments and expertise, have focused on strategic development, management of senior level and mid-level executives, and concentrated on measurable objectives and goals. I want Sunriver to remain as a premier PNW destination which will in turn enhance the Sunriver brand for the benefit of local and distant owners, visitors, and other strategic partners associated with Sunriver.
An ELECTION of the Sunriver Owners Association will be conducted by mail to decide three candidates for the SROA Board of Directors.
Included will be ONE BALLOT MEASURE: “Pursuant to Sections 7.04 and 7.08 of the Consolidated Plan of Sunriver, I authorize the Sunriver Owners Association to use Maintenance and Reserve Funds for the maintenance, repair and construction of roadway and pathway improvements located in and around the intersection of Abbot and Beaver Drives as described in the Voters Information Pamphlet. Funding for this project (including contingencies) shall not exceed the bid award amount of $1,800,000. No special assessments from owners shall be required to fund said improvements.”
Kathie Thatcher, Election Committee Interim Chair Ballots will be mailed on July 12 and must be returned no later than 12pm on August 11, 2018. Results will be posted at the SROA office and online at www.sunriverowners.org T C,

War on Weeds volunteers wanted SROA NEWS – The Sunriver Owners Association Natural Resources Department is looking for weed-pulling warriors for the annual War on Weeds event later this summer. This 18th annual event pits weed warriors against noxious weeds such as the spotted knapweed. And even though the weeds can be pulled any time, once they have sprouted, SROA hosts a week-long event to target hot-spot areas on commons throughout Sunriver. Volunteer pullers are assigned

By Greg Cotton The fishing season is now in full swing, and the Sunriver Anglers Club would like to invite all to their monthly meeting on July 19. The meeting will be held at SHARC at 7 p.m. Reports are coming in from all the lakes, rivers and streams in Central Oregon of successful angling days. The topic for July’s meeting will be “Fishing the Upper Deschutes” presented by the club’s own Phil Fischer. We all see Fischer’s monthly fly tying article here in the Sunriver Scene. He will take some of those flies and teach us about presentation in the upper stretch of this famous angling river. The Upper Deschutes discussed will be the 10-plus mile section of the river between Little Lava Lake and Crane Prairie Reservoir. This is the only part of the river not controlled by a dam. The river starts as a bubbling spring in the middle of Little Lava Lake and flows 252 miles north to Columbia River. In this stretch the Deschutes is more of a stream than the much larger river that flows past Sunriver. Here the water is cold and clear wandering through trees and meadows. With all this meandering, there are many bends, holes and undercuts. This is prime water to catch brook and rainbow THE REAL ESTATE EXPERT YOUR FRIENDS RECOMMEND!

trout. Be ready to hike along the banks of the river looking for the great spots scattered along this fishery. Sneak up to one of those deep undercuts, drift your fly down under the bank and be ready to catch one of those large Brook trout that like to hide there. After a day of hiking along this river, you will feel like an Olympic steeplechaser, as you scramble over all the fallen lodge pole pines that litter the banks. Look downstream of these pines that have fallen in the river. There are often some nice fish that lie in the shadows of these logs. Fischer will help us learn where we can access this great angling stretch. It may be just a wide spot on the side of the road, or a Forest Service campground. Come see if he will talk about the “Blue Hole.” This hidden spot on the river is such a large hole that you will need a float tube to explore the quarter mile long section. Listen to learn what size fly fishing rod he uses. Is it a three, four, or five weight? Will he tell us that we need to be prepared with small nymphs, some type of dry fly, or one of his personally tied specialty flies? Come and hear Fischer give us some great tips on fishing this fun section of the Deschutes River. In August, instead of holding the monthly meeting, the Sunriver Anglers Club would like to invite all to their annual summer picnic, which will be at the Fall River Hatchery on Wednesday, Aug.15. Check www.sunriveranglers.org for more information on the picnic and summer fishing outings. On June 2, the club hosted their annual Kids Free Fish Day at Caldera Springs’ Lake Obsidian. Organized by Jim Adams and John Eckholt, it was a great success. Two hundred kids from eight different states lined the banks. Many kids caught the first fish of their lives and will hopefully become anglers for life. Thanks go out to the many different groups who made this day happen. Keep June 1, 2019 on your calendar for next year’s event.

History of Care & Share
Emergency Prepardness Kit
By Madeline Bednarek In 1998 Fr. Jim Radloff and Joe Lautze were contacted by Central Oregon Community Action Network asking if Holy Trinity Catholic Church might fill a need to provide food assistance for families living in the greater Sunriver-La Pine area. Planning moved on from there and, in 1999, the Brown Bag Program, as it was known then, was started by a group of people from Holy Trinity Catholic Church, the Community Church and Sunriver Christian Fellowship. Some of the original people involved at that time included: Marge Mooney, Joan Maloney, Madeline Bednarek, Lois Christofferson, Rosalie Radsup, Jane Hurley and Lynn Murphy. The three churches decided that they would work together to assist those less fortunate in this area. Holy Trinity decided to make this their outreach mission. After plenty of discussion it was agreed that there would be a monthly food distribution. This began with nine families – who came and were served out of the church’s dining room. Supplies were stored in the Sunriver Business Park and brought to the church. The program grew to 20 families and soon there were 40 families. Volunteers would call the clients ahead of the distribution date to remind them of the upcoming distribution. As the number of families grew, this became impossible, so each client was sent a postcard with the date. Today, about 250 postcards are mailed to active clients and the number of families served each month varies between 180 and 200. Eventually the name “Brown Bag” was changed to “Care

Three managers key to smooth SNCO operation By Wes Perrin A trio of highly qualified managers are keeping operations humming at Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory. Amanda Accamando heads up the Sunriver Nature Center, Bob Grossfeld is in charge of the Oregon Observatory and Carolyn Maxwell oversees office and membership duties as administrative manager. All have impressive career histories. Accamando has covered the most ground geographically in her career. Before arriving at SNCO in 2017, she was educa-
tion and volunteer manager for the Hudson Gardens & Event Center in Littleton, Colorado, just outside Denver. There she developed, directed and implemented a variety of programs including the gardens’ signature Community Beekeeping Program. Prior to that she served as curatorial manager for the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado. In earlier years she spent three years at the National Institutes of Health & Caribbean Research Center in Puerto Santiago, Puerto Rico. There,

one might say, she was working on “monkey business,” but it would be more accurate to report she was conducting behavioral research on rhesus macaque primates. After leaving, she played a key roll in raising more than $65,000 on social media to benefit the research center and its employees who were devastated by Hurricane Maria. She has also held science-related positions for the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn (her home town), and the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

Amanda Accamando, Carolyn Maxwell and Bob Grossfeld
Her academic credentials include a MS in biology from Louisiana State University, where she also served as a graduate teaching assistant and a BS in biology from State University of New York at Genesco. Grossfeld, a native of northern California, first came to the observatory in 1990 as a volunteer and became manager in 1998. Academically, he is working on a doctorate in astrophysics through a special program with NASA and Harvard. He has been a member of JPL/NASA Solar System program since it started in 1999. He also holds a degree in economics from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and smiles when reminded the school’s athletic teams are called the Fighting Banana Slugs. He has been instrumental in guiding the observatory’s growth which dates from using three smaller telescopes in the parking lot to today’s recogni-
tion for having the country’s largest number of telescopes for public viewing. Today, the parking lot is often filled to capacity on summer evenings. Many of the volunteers and staff have extensive experience, with some recording up to 25 years of service. His professional honors include being named as a distinguished member of the NASA/ Jet Propulsion Laboratory Solar Ambassador program. Since 2007 he has been the principal instructor in astronomy at Central Oregon Community College. In addition, he has been conducting a lecture series for Deschutes Public Library called “Cosmic Conversations,” and is a regular at large star parties and model rocket launches around the Pacific Northwest. Maxwell has been with SNCO for over seven years, after responding to an ad on Craigslist. Originally from Oakland, California, Maxwell majored in biology at Cal State University-Hayward, and because her father owned a drug store, thought she would become a pharmacist. However, by helping her father run the store, she learned business principles firsthand, and realized this was her calling. Once her husband retired, the two of them “looked all over Oregon” before deciding to reside in the Sunriver area, and in 201l she joined SNCO performing a variety of office duties which gradually increased in scope and importance. Last year she stepped outside her office chores and together with her husband, Ray, refurbished the organization’s utility shed. Working through a snowy winter, they transformed the dismal, leaky structure into a handsome heated structure and saved thousands of dollars in commercial construction costs. Not surprisingly, all of the managers share a love of the T M,

Leave wildlife in the wild
Operations in full swing at the obervatory, class offerings By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager As we head into the busy part of summer, we have some great viewing opportunuties at the Oregon Observatory. Our public evening programs are in full swing every night, except Monday night, from 9 to 11 p.m. No reservations are required, but getting here around 8:45 will allow for the best parking and early viewing. Our first target in the sky is Jupiter, as it is high in the sky right as we open. Our half hour presentations start around 9:30 p.m. and our laser guided constellation tours start around 10:30 p.m. During the evening, many of the observatory’s 20 telescopes are in full operation. Stay late for the best viewing opportunities. Our daytime solar viewing continues daily, as part of the Sunriver Nature Center’s admission. We view the Sun with at
least two specialized telescopes from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our kids classes continue in July, with our Family Rocketry class on Wednesday, our Solar Rover class on Thursday and our Advanced Rocketry class on Friday. All classes are from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended and can be made online at www. oregonobservatory.org. Our classes are recommended for ages 8-108, but our Wednesday Family Rocketry class are set up for younger kids to attend with a parent. We are also looking to add a Saturday morning class with details to be posted on the website and at the observatory. The exciting program for July is our own Cosmic Planetarium Program, which will feature our new inflatable planetarium. These programs will be held in our Pozzi Education Building, and will be done on select afternoons during July and

August. We are looking forward to offering these programs and reservations will be required. Cost will be $5 per person. We will have the information on our website and on Facebook. We hope you can come join us for our new program. I am very proud of what our observatory has developed over the years, It would not have been possible without the support from many people that have contributed in a variety of ways. Remember that SROA homeowners and SNCO members can attend our summer Monday 9 p.m. viewing pro-
grams, with the small crowds, but be sure to bring your SROA Member Preference ID card. We are excited about our future and our planned expansion and hope you will join us in being part of something special. The views just keep getting better as the summer rolls on with Jupiter and Saturn staying with us during the evening. But the views of star clusters and nebulas will steal the show. Come by and check it out for yourself. For more information, visit www.oregonobservatory.org or call 541-593-4442.
Put it back. That’s the advice you’re likely to hear if you bring a young wild animal home to “take care of it” – and you might get a warning or citation from Oregon State Police, too. Oregon’s deer and elk give birth from May through July and many other wildlife species also bear their young at this time of year. It’s natural for mother animals to leave their young alone for extended periods of time while they go off to feed, so never assume a young animal is orphaned when you see it alone. The mother will return when it’s safe to do so – when people, pets or predators aren’t around. Unfortunately, every year around this time, ODFW offices, licensed wildlife rehabilitators and even Oregon State Police are flooded with calls from people who picked up a deer fawn, elk calf, fledgling bird learning to fly, or other young animal they assumed was T W,

donations.” Hungry shoppers will also benefit from the special discount offered by the adjoining Wallow restaurant. “Simply show your receipt for any Tern purchase and take 25 percent off the price of your food order,” said Rosenberg. “This will make for a perfect night out. You can find great merchandise, forget about cooking dinner, and get a sneak preview of what the volunteers have lined up to present when doors open Friday morning.”

All members of the Tern team have been extra busy lately preparing for the special night, and shelves and racks have been spiffed up to accommodate many new items. “Our crew is excited about all the fun-filled activity, and shoppers will quickly note their smiles, springy steps and sunshiny attitudes,” said Rosenberg. She also pointed out that customer appreciation festivities are continuing in recognition of the store’s 30th anniversary. “Tern Bucks,” which are passed out to patrons to use for their purchases, have proven to be especially popular. The store is located just west of Harper Bridge at 17377 Spring River Road. All sales benefit the nonprofit Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory.

Wildlife
orphaned because it was alone. Animals taken away from their natural environment miss the chance to learn important survival skills from their parents like where to feed, what to eat, how to behave as part of a group and how to escape from predators. Usually this leads to a shortened life span for the animal. Removing or capturing an animal from the wild is a violation of state law (OAR 635044-0440 “Wildlife may not be captured from the wild and/or held...”) Doing so is considered a Class A misdemeanor and a court could impose a maximum fine of $6,250 fine and/or one year in jail. Last year (2017), Oregon State Police issued seven warnings and one citation to people who had picked up deer fawns, bear cubs, a baby turkey, a baby raccoon, nine baby opossums and an injured osprey. If you are certain a young animal is orphaned because you saw its mother die, or if you see an injured animal or one in distress, call one of Oregon’s licensed wildlife rehabilitators. Wildlife rehabilitators have the training and facilities to properly care for young wildlife and eventually return them to the wild. You can also call your nearest ODFW office during regular business hours, or Oregon State Police dispatch if an animal is in distress.

Colorful quilts to adorn Village during Sunriver Quilt Show and Sale The Sunriver Quilt Show and Sale celebrates its 30th anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 4, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in The Village at Sunriver. It is free and open to the public. Quilts, some for sale, all made by the Mountain Meadow Quilters, will be on display throughout the Village including inside some of the shops. The event is sponsored by the Mountain Meadow Quilters and The Village at Sunriver. The featured quilter this year is Bev King, who started quilting about 50 years ago. Before that King sewed for years, making clothes and other things. She was a home economics teacher, fabric store owner, and teacher of quilting classes. King was a member and officer of quilt guilds in Salem and Bend. She is currently a member of Mountain Meadow Quilters and one of their master quilters. Like most quilters, it all started with the allure of beautiful fabric and the desire to cut it all into pieces and put it back together. This has resulted in over 300 quilts for family, for quilt challenges, charity quilts and quilts just for the fun of it. For King, quilting is “the desire to try new things and enjoy the process of piecing it all together. Sometimes it is the challenge of the difficult patterns, but in the end, it’s always about the fun of creating.” The Mountain Meadow Quilters is a group of more than 120 quiltmakers who meet twice a month in Sunriver and Bend to make quilts, share ideas and learn about quilting from local and nationally-

known quilters. The guild has donated hundreds of quilts to Central Oregon groups. Recipients of this year’s quilt donations are Kid’s Center, Grandma’s House, Bethlehem Inn, Friends of the Children, Mountain Star, Partners in Care and Central Oregon Veterans Outreach. In addition to quilts, there
will be a bazaar of handcrafted items made by guild members including small quilts and potholders. This is the place to pick up a tote bag, quilted table runner, placemats or other quilted articles. Used books, magazines and patterns will also be for sale. Proceeds from the bazaar support the Mountain Meadow Quilters charitable endeavors and educational activities. There will be special exhibits at the show. In celebration of the 30th anniversary, there will be an exhibit entitled “Three Times Ten: A Creative Journey” featuring triangles and an exhibit of quilts created by the Mountain Meadow Quilters master quilters, a group of quilters honored by the guild for their outstanding quilting abilities and service to the guild. There will also be exhibits of T Q S,

outdoors when it comes to leisure time. Accamando delights in hiking and beekeeping: Grossfeld enjoys boating and skiing; Maxwell enjoys camping and hiking. Board president Dave Buhaly perhaps summed it up most succinctly: “We are delighted to have this highly qualified, experienced and creative team manage our operation in this 50th year. And I feel that way about all of our committed and dedicated staff. The entire organization is really primed to face the next 50 years with energy and enthusiasm.”
The “winged walls” at each tunnel end help to hold back road bed soil, divert water, etc. Engineered wooden guardrails will also be installed at road level. Public Works Director Mark Smith said the replacement process of the remaining tunnels will be determined following a survey and evaluation of each tunnel to identify utilities, required/needed drainage, geo technical evaluation as well as current condition of the tunnel. “Following the evaluation of each tunnel we will develop a schedule for replacement on the remaining 12 tunnels,” said Smith. “This first one will be our example for the rest of the community.

Keith Mobley Jackie Schmid Brad Skinner What experiences do you bring that will benefit the SROA Board of Directors? Serving as a board member of many Oregon entities, often with leadership responsibilities, has been personally rewarding as well as educational. As a lawyer since 1971, I have come to understand the intricacies of how things work and what it takes to keep them working.
During my 20 years of involvement in the nonprofit arena in Honolulu, I have reported to boards, been a member of boards, and helped to create and strengthen boards. I will be bringing training and expertise in “Boardsmanship” with an emphasis on consensus building. I also have a sense of humor and consider myself a problem solver.
Throughout my career I have held senior management positions at private and public companies: Schneider National, BN Motor Carriers, Southern Pacific, Fritz Companies, successfully led the privatization of Mexican national railroads and created Transportacion Ferroviaria Mexicana, was CEO of Transtrade LLC, and identified strategic acquisition targets for Greenbrier Companies. My earliest employment included assignments at the United Nations and at the City of Vancouver, Washington. I currently serve on four Boards of Directors focused on energy storage and distribution, infrastructure development, short line rail and distribution services, and truckload transportation.
What can be done to increase owner involvement in the SROA decision making process? As issues develop in anticipation of board action, we should gather people on both sides of the issue, and work with them to develop a process, appropriate to the particular issue, that will bring more light than heat to the board’s eventual decision.
The current “Owner’s Forum” is a great idea with underwhelming participation. I would like to use social media (texting, email, etc.) to try to reach more homeowners, especially nonresidents. Once a month, via social media, a single question about a current topic of discussion would be sent to willing members asking for a short response. This response would be a “yes” or “no” or a multiple choice selection. A space would be available for further comment. This feedback would give direction to the Board and involve more owners in the decision making process.
Like any Board, clear and transparent two-way communication is important for good policy consideration. Research and facts are essential as a part of that communication and deliberation process. I would like to see the Board expend its focus on longer term policy and infrastructure considerations, and to support, yet monitor staff where appropriate on budget and implementation issues. We need to continue to seek input from local and distant owners, and from strategic partners within Sunriver to include: Lodge, Chamber, Nature Center, Village, rental services and companies, Service Districts and other third parties. Whenever possible and practical we should work to align our interests as we continue to build accretive value for Sunriver now and in the future.
What would you like the SROA Board of Directors to address during the next 3 years? Financial stability is essential to continuing good health, and SROA seems to be a model of such stability. Emphasis on maintenance of that condition must continue to be a high priority, to help assure the continuing confidence and support of its members. As the board works on its current “to-do” list, its members should keep in mind the history of this place, and the vision that brought it into being. It is very rare to find the level of community satisfaction and general happiness enjoyed here.
1. Term Limits - I feel Boards with no term limits can tend to stagnate. If there is little turnover in the makeup of the Board, there is little infusion of new ideas and alternative thinking in problem solving. 2. Resort Relations - my mission statement would be “What’s good for the Resort is good for the SROA and what is good for the SROA is good for the Resort.” We need to develop a closer working relationship with the management of the Resort, strengthen communication between these two entities, and develop the atmosphere in which decisions are made by consensus when both parties are involved. Other than the two items above, I have no agenda and would welcome any input from members of the SROA.
If traffic circles are approved, to oversee completion and to then focus on North Pool renovation for owners and other essential infrastructure considerations. I am specifically interested in encouraging greater co-operation and strategic alignment where it makes sense among interests within Sunriver, which support sustained quality and management of growth. Finally, I want to assess our preparedness for catastrophic emergencies.

Celebrate July with art at Artists Gallery Sunriver July is a patriotic month and the Artists Gallery Sunriver is all about red, white and blue as well as recognizing those that serve our wonderful country. Stop by the gallery for the monthly Second Saturday celebration and hoist a glass or something yummy to eat to honor these great individuals. Festivities take place on July 14 from 4 to 7 p.m. Since the gallery is open every day during the summer, please stop by and see what is new. Featured artists for the month of July are displaying some very notable pieces of art. Featured artist Susan Harkness-Williams gladly takes her imagination with her everywhere she roams. Her latest
pieces, “Happy I� and “Happy II,� are fine gourd art vessels that explode with color. Each piece is created with eye catching mixed media, a sort of “secret sauce,� and the artist’s signature carving style. Harkness-Williams always strives for statement pieces in her creations. She draws inspiration from archeology, nature and husband Dave. A longtime Sunriver resident, the artist plunges head first into mixed media creations of all types – masks, vessels and illustrated creations – with a style that is always evolving. Painter and ceramic artist Marjorie Cossairt always demonstrates an evolving style. Even with her two medias, the

Festival Faire supports musical youth Will musically talented Sunriver youth get the support they need to become world-class artists? For more than two decades, that question has been the driving force behind Sunriver Music Festival’s “Festival Faire,” a magical evening of music, fine dining and auction fun to support the Festival’s Young Artists Scholarship program. “We just awarded over $39,000 in scholarships to 26 students and Festival Faire is the biggest source of income to support this amazing program,” said Pam Beezley, executive director of the Sunriver Music Festival. “Over half a million dollars in scholarships have been award in 23 years thanks to hundreds of Sunriver residents that believe in music education.” This year’s gala event is celebrating the 100th birthday of Leonard Bernstein, one of America’s greatest artists. The evening takes place at Sunriver Resort’s historic Great Hall on Sunday, July 15. Starting at 4:30 p.m., attendees will enjoy a hosted happy hour, fine wines, an elegant dinner prepared exclusively by Sunriver Resort award-winning chefs and music provided by three of the 2018 Young Artists Scholarship winners. All proceeds from Festival Faire directly support the Festival’s Bernstein Celebration Season and Young Artists Scholarships. Tickets are $100 per person. A great way to enrich your experience is to host a table for friends or business associates. Tables of eight or 10 can easily be reserved. For complete information on Festival Faire email information@sunrivermusic. org, visit the festival’s website www.sunrivermusic.org or call the office 541-593-9310.

from throughout the Sunriver area. Some volunteers drive to Redmond to Neighbor Impact’s Food Pantry every two months, while other volunteers drive into Bend each month to collect groceries from Grocery Outlet and bread from the Franz Bakery Outlet. Sunriver Resort collects fresh milk each month. Others help package the fruit, pack the boxes and load them into the client’s cars. The goal of our program is to provide nourishing food on the last Friday of each month, a time when monthly assistance from other sources may be depleted. Each household receives sufficient food to provide meals for two to three days. Care & Share also occasionally provides: • Some rental and utility assistance thanks to St. Vincent de Paul, Midstate Electric, Sunriver Christian Fellowship
and the Community Bible Church • Purchases and distributes school supplies. More than 80 students will receive school supplies in August. Last year we served 4,056 adults and 3,264 children. Each family received a box containing ground beef, peanut butter, tuna fish, fresh fruit and produce, canned and packaged foods and basic hygiene products. We distributed more than $60,000 worth of food thanks to volunteers and the grants that we receive. We are very grateful to the Sunriver Marketplace and Country Store for their donations of food throughout the year and to Sunriver Christian Fellowship for their donation of fresh fruit each month. Care & Share is available to any family residing in the 97707 or 97739 Zip code who can provide proof of residency. Caring is sharing. We are committed to serving those less fortunate in our community.

Multiple exhibits continue at the resort Lodge By Billye Turner Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery continues to show the artwork of JM Brodrick, Kelly and Charlie Thiel as well as artists of the 12” x 12” Exhibit in the upper gallery and artwork by Marjorie Wood Hamlin in the lower gallery. This exhibit continues through Labor Day. Kelly Thiel presents a new series of acrylic paintings entitled “About Face.” The artworks continue her narrative of the female in large scale with a bright new palette. “Looking back at my feelings, I can see my readiness for a big shift in my work,” she said. The artist identifies several sources of inspiration for the new palette of energetic pinks, oranges and blue – warmer weather, a colorful art retreat on the Oregon Coast, and memories of childhood beach vacations. Theil’s resume lists numerous national and group shows exhibiting both her ceramic sculpture and paintings. The noted artist leads workshops on both east and west coasts and recently began showing her work in the United Kingdom. Following her move to Bend with husband, Charlie and their children, in 2014, she and her

co-founder opened a new coworking studio, The Wilds. Her personal studio is there as well as studios and workstations for other creatives, fostering the art community in Oregon. Charlie Thiel began photography studies at community college in Charleston, South Carolina, under the tutelage of an exceptional teacher inspiring students to see the art of photography. Simultaneously, he viewed an article highlighting the world’s most acclaimed wedding photographers. Realizing an excellent creative opportunity, he volunteered to assist some of these noted artists, learning to shoot weddings while continuing his studies. Throughout all, he developed considerable skill, beginning a career in wedding/commercial photography.
Upon moving to Bend, he worked in commercial photography, also pursuing additional business interests. Continuing to “love photography,” Theil readily accepted the opportunity to travel with fellow photographers (of a nonprofit studio) to Laos to teach adult students. Their Laotian students included “two Buddhist monk novices, several women (in a culture not prioritizing educating/empowering women), and other young men – some with families of their own.” The goal was to provide these locals with camera gear, skills and training, assisting them to develop marketable photography skills and the opportunity to create income.

library based in a UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang. “Having the opportunity to share my photography skills with adult students who crave knowledge and to know that those skills may help them provide an income for their families transformed the trip for me,” said Theil. “Not only
was I able to absorb the beauty of Luang Prabang, I was able to give something back to people hungry to learn.” The artist’s images from this experience are unique, colorful and, with the artist’s commentary, endearing. With Buddhist monasteries throughout the region, each morning at dawn, monks formed a procession through town to receive alms, usually rice balls. Many of these monks used the bordering Mekong River for travel. Tourists crowded much of the monks’ procession, but Thiel found that “by following monks back to the river, I could capture moments which were both every day and exotic.” Photographs from these experiences are included in the exhibit at the Lodge. Also appearing in the show are some 28 paintings by 11 artists in the 12”x 12” exhibit featuring unique small works all priced at $250. Billye Turner curates exhibitions for the Sunriver Resort Lodge gallery. For information, please contact her at 503.780.2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com. The gallery is open all hours.

watercolors of flora and fauna that have always been popular. Her smaller ceramic pieces with thoughtful words and beautiful glazes make wonderful gifts for anyone. Collectors of pottery pieces from Dori Kite will be pleased to hear that the artist expanded her studio this winter to include a new kiln which has allowed the artist to evolve her style. Kite has been working on glazes and application for some time with the goal of creating a surface variation that is more like color in nature rather than the “flatter” commercial glazes. Her most recent inspiration, the beautiful Madras area
landscape, is the basis of the fresh and fabulous greens, rich earth tones and subtle yellows and golds found in her newest pieces. The new kiln provides Kite with the means to capture the palate of colors that evoke the landscapes that inspire her. Her old “standby” tools – an old soap measuring cup, a ketchup bottle and ear syringe and a rubber basting brush and her fingers – allow Kite to pour, dunk, squeeze and atomize her way to some truly unique and beautiful pieces. Fine art photographer Richard Frederick considers subject matter, light quality, creativity and a thorough technical understanding of the tools of the trade to produce his wonderful art photos. However, what really compels the artist is knowing
that a scene becomes a historic record at the instant the shutter is released. He chooses subjects that are provided by nature, have historical significance, and can reveal a way of life. Frederick loves the gratification that he receives from creating a work of art that evokes a strong emotion in the viewer. At the gallery, visitors are compelled to stop and linger while contemplating the awe-inspiring landscapes and detailed still life scenes. Pieces can be custom printed in sizes that will meet a collector’s specific needs. Artists Gallery Sunriver is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver.

Renowned pianists highlight festival season Music Festival’s season, Leonard Bernstein at 100 – A Celebration, kicks off Aug. 10 at the Tower Theatre with a spectacular solo performance by American Pianist Association Winner Drew Petersen performing Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” with the festival orchestra. “Our audiences have loved seeing young, up and coming pianists,” said Pam Beezley, festival executive director. “This season maestro George Hanson searched far and wide to find some amazing talent to share the magic of Bernstein with our audience.” • Drew Petersen: Drew’s talent was recognized early. He was presented at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall at age five and by age 10 performed a solo recital at Steinway Hall for the

Hall, Williams has received increasingly wide recognition for her dynamic performances, insightful interpretations, innovative programming and superb technique. Praised by New York critic Harris Goldsmith for her “impeccable soloistic authority” and “‘dazzling performances,” she has appeared in solo and chamber music performances across the United States and internationally, and has won numerous prizes. “Bernstein’s ‘Prelude, Fugue and Riffs’ is rarely performed because it’s a tricky piece and requires lots of saxophones and brass,” said Beezley. “Finding a pianist is very difficult for this piece, but Heidi was thrilled to be part of this exciting concert.” An avid chamber musician, Williams has collaborated with many outstanding American and international artists. She has recorded solo, concerto and chamber music for the Naxos, Neos and Albany labels, and has also worked with many distinguished composers. Her 2011 solo debut CD, “Drive American,” was featured in Fanfare’s 2012 Critics’ Want Lists and named among the Top 10 classical albums of 2011 by the Philadelphia City Paper.

Message
criticism, welcoming new ideas, and encouraging lively debate all contribute to better decisionmaking and help Sunriver become a stronger community. And when a contrary opinion is expressed in a thoughtful, respectful and civil manner, it just might change somebody’s mind.
Words matter There can be no doubt that physical attacks cause harm. But words and gestures, even without actual physical contact, can also be harmful. Many of us recall this old children’s rhyme: “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never break me.” Our parents meant well when they shared this rhyme to help us cope with name-calling by schoolyard bullies, but the reality is that words do matter. Shouting, spewing out obscenities, making personal attacks, using threatening and intimidating language: all of these attacks are expressed using words – and all of them can cause harm. Indeed, studies have shown that the way words are delivered can be far more important than the words themselves.
Do we really need a rule? If we looked the other way or failed to take a firm stand against incivility, we would be sending the unmistakable message that Sunriver is a place that condones
abusive and bullying behavior. The code of civility and proposed changes to Sunriver Rules and Regulations will, if approved by the Board after the comment period, provide a tool to ensure that people who engage in improper conduct are held accountable for their actions.
One of Sunriver's largest events is the Sunriver Music Festival which will take place from Aug. 10-22. The very best professional musicians come to Sunriver from all over the country to perform in this precious music festival. You can play an important part in the success of the festival by hosting a musician at your home. As a host, your only obligation is to provide a bedroom and bathroom as musicians are responsible for their own transportation and meals. Hosting musicians is a wonderful and rewarding experience and lasting friendships are formed. If you can help or know someone who can please call 541593-1084, visit www.sunrivermusic.org/musician-hosting or email information@sunrivermusic.org
Wednesday, July 25, 5-6 p.m. Dillon Room at SHARC. Come hear about the final plans going to a vote of SROA owners.
Choose Civility What kind of community do we want Sunriver to be? Do we want one that mirrors our uncivil society? Or do we want a community that is a haven of civility? The Sunriver Owners Association has a clear choice: Choose civility.

Showcase song of “A Million Dreams” from the popular musical film, “The Greatest Showman.” Thanks to a grant from the Sunriver-La Pine Rotary Club, the long-held mission and vision of Sunriver Stars Community Theater to enrich the lives of our community youth with theater arts became a reality. “I was so impressed with the poise and preparation that was evident in these kids. To be able to stand up before a room full of adult strangers and speak and perform, there’s so much value in that,” said Rotary member Robert Foster who attended the June 1 performance. Foster noted he was very happy to find that the resources the Sunriver-La Pine Rotary invested could make such a difference. “All of us adults, at some point early in our life, had an experience that helped us develop confidence and life skills. For some of these kids, this was that experience.” The students aged eight to 15 (third through eighth grades) from Sunriver and La Pine began the theater camp in April. The camp was offered free T S,

Unfortunately, these are the all-too-familiar sights and sounds of summer on the high desert. Wildfire, sometimes caused

Firefighter
These types of fires can certainly be the most dangerous and disastrous as they directly impact lives and personal property. To prepare for this type of fire event, firefighters routinely conduct drills to keep skills fresh and plan ahead for how they would respond under a variety of circumstances. The typical Sunriver Fire & Rescue wildland fire training season begins in April and runs through September with numerous drills, response planning and safety compliance. In even a small to moderate size interface fire, Sunriver Fire & Rescue, as most any small fire agency, would request the assistance of other departments. In Deschutes County, and throughout Central Oregon, our mutual aid agreements between departments
Page 28
provide for an effective and timely response to any agency requesting assistance. With Sunriver sitting adjacent to national forest our relationship and partnership with the US Forest Service is critical. The relationship and collaborative working environment is solid and continues to thrive. As one can imagine, firefighting comes down to an incredibly powerful teamwork approach to the job. Working side-by-side with other firefighters, such as those from the forest service, increases confidence, experience and a team approach to combatting a fire. Sunriver firefighters have had numerous opportunities to work directly with forest service firefighters during the pre-season. These opportunities have come through the forest service's prescribed (controlled) burn efforts to reduce excessive undergrowth, ladder fuels
and forest debris that have accumulated for decades. Under previous policies, the natural regeneration of our forests through natural, timely, fires was hampered and the buildup of flammable materials has increased to dangerous levels. Prescribed burns give firefighters an opportunity to refresh skills and prepare for the upcoming wildfire season. Sunriver’s firefighters have participated in many of these prescribed burning operations. Firefighters refresh skills in planning and response as well as safety procedures and communications. Laying of hose, building fire lines as well as igniting (used for burning operations where it's necessary to fight fire with fire) are all experienced in these opportunities. Our continued partnership and collaboration with the forest service makes for a safer and better prepared Sunriver. Jim Bennett is the Public Information Officer for Sunriver Fire & Rescue.

Library art exhibit Mary Wonser will exhibit her cloth weavings starting July 3 through Aug. 24 at the Sunriver Area Public Library. A weaver of cloth with a love of color and texture, Wonser also exhibits her hand-woven works at Artists Gallery Sunriver in The Village at Sunriver. A weaver for 30 years, there are four looms in Wonser’s home. Before weaving caught her fancy, she dabbled in embroidery, sewing, quilting and knitting. Included in the display are wall hangings, shawls, placemats, and decorative pot shapes that hark to Santa Fe Native American pottery. The colors
“We Look After Your Property When You Can’t”
are deep and rich… burgundy, turquoise, yellows and oranges. Along with weaving, Wonser has traveled to Guatemala six times with Habitat for Humanity. She also helped with a school program that funds students who might otherwise drop out after the sixth grade. Wonser’s time in Guatemala shows in her work – especially in her use of color and design. A reception will take place at the library on July 7 at 2 p.m. All art work will be available for purchase. The Sunriver Library is located in the Sunriver Business Park at 56885 Venture Lane.

Put that phone away while driving; fines increasing Beginning July 1, distracted driving penalties in Oregon will start adding up. Distracted driving is already exacting a high price – with fatalities and serious injuries occurring regularly in crashes where a driver is distracted – and now the cost for the driver may go even higher. Offenses under the state’s distracted driving law will begin counting toward elevated sanctions beginning July 1. Here’s how the penalties can add up: • First offense, not contributing to a crash: Class B violation, with a fine up to $1,000.
• Second offense, or first offense, if it contributed to a crash: Class A violation, with a fine up to $2,500. • Third offense in 10 years: Class B misdemeanor, with a fine up to $2,500 and potential for six months in jail. Not being fully focused on the complex task of driving can have disastrous results. From 2012-2016 in Oregon, there were 10,814 crashes involving a distracted driver, resulting in 70 fatalities and 16,503 injuries. “Distracted driving is an epidemic in Oregon, and the

bicyclists and pedestrians alike – should put away the distractions when traveling to help eliminate these tragedies.” This year, in unofficial numbers, Oregon has had 172 fatalities, up 17.8 percent from the same time last year. While we don’t yet know the factors that contributed to these crashes, anecdotal information indicates many of these involved vehicles traveling out of their lane – and that can be the result of drivers being distracted. “Distractions occur in many ways and Oregon’s law stresses the need to put your electronic devices aside,” Costales said. “What a driver must do is
commit to keeping ‘hands on the wheel, mind on the road.’” Background On Oct. 1, 2017, an updated version of Oregon’s Distracted Driving law went into effect. Here are the basics: • If you are under 18, you can't use anything while driving, even hands-free. • Drivers are not allowed to use any phone function that requires holding or touching. • Hands-free or built in devices are allowed under the law. • Cell phone mounts that cradle your phone on your dash are considered a handsT F,

It was not an assignment he enjoyed, the men were dangerous and Harold does not take kindly to hurting animals. Montana’s Smith River is gorgeous and remote; it is a seven year wait to receive a permit to float the river. Lately someone has been putting up scarecrows above the river, with signs saying “Not on my watch” and “No Smith River Mine”, sentiments Harold might agree with but the powers that be want the perpetrator caught. A documentary filmmaker, Lillian Cartwright, has permission to float the river with Clint McCaine (a wealthy man and manager of the mine project) and Bart

dines on alfalfa, a plant pollinated by bees. No alfalfa would be a problem for dairy farmers and beef cattle. Enjoy blueberries? They need bees for pollination too. Hanson explains the crisis, talks about the research into why bees are perishing, and focuses on what beekeepers are doing to keep their bees. “Buzz” opens with Hanson in pursuit of a particular type of butterfly only to be distracted by wasps behaving in an interesting way. Starting way back, millennia ago, he describes the way it was ecologically advantageous for wasps to become bees, switching from a carnivorous insect to a vegetarian lifestyle. A hungry wasp goes in search of a plump spider for dinner, but the spider might resist and turn the table – eating the wasp instead. Flitting from flower to flower is much safer, although the flowers may be few and far between. Enthralled by the wonders of evolution, Hanson orders Baltic amber from Latvia to examine for possible fossils with his young son, Noah. “Buzz” is an engrossing story, when Hanson expounds about the bees and flowers, it feels like summer. Winston Churchill, Charles Darwin and Sherlock Holmes, all smart fellows, found bees fascinating, I think you will too. His presentations on his other books, “Seeds,” “Feathers” and “The Impenetrable Forest” have all been fascinating and entertaining.

Book club offers summer reading choices Book clubs are a great way to meet other passionate readers. Enjoy a good book, and then discuss it with friendly people. Book Clubs are held Monday at 6 p.m. They are free and everyone is welcome. • July 9 the Mystery Book Club discusses “Norwegian by Night” by Derek Miller. Sheldon Horowitz is in his 80s, bereft over the death of his wife, burdened by guilt over his son’s death in Vietnam, and weighed down by the memories of his service during the Korean War. Hope of some sort of future comes with the news his adored granddaughter Rhea is pregnant, a new generation to carry on the family. Rhea is sure Sheldon is in the beginning stages of dementia. Reluctant to leave her grandfather alone in New York City, she persuades
him to move to Norway to live with her. Lars, Rhea’s husband, is kind, solicitous, and willing to share their flat with the curmudgeonly old widower. Norway is a whole new world for Sheldon; he does not find any common community, there are only about a thousand Jews in the whole country. The placid, easy going Norwegians are a puzzle. Any hope of a relaxed entry into Norwegian life is shattered when Sheldon gives refuge to their Balkan neighbor and her young son, who are hiding from a violent man. Norway is relatively crime free but, in this specific flat, things are going to get out of control – leaving behind a dead woman and an octogenarian New York Jew on the lam with a traumatized, silent young child. Segrid, the police officer in charge, finds
herself matching wits with the surprisingly resourceful Sheldon and the Serbian thug who will surely do him harm. • July 16 the Fiction Book Club discusses “Anything for Billy” by Larry McMurtry, an entertaining blend of story and history. Billy the Kid is famous as a stone-cold killer. Mr. Sippy meets him on a cold mountaintop, alone but for his mule. Billy is entertained by the easterner who fell in love with the romance of the west through reading and eventually writing dime western novels. It is cold, Mr. Sippy is alone, and there are hostile Indians about. After his first fright in meeting Billy, his next thought is to tag along and not be left alone. Things have not gone as planned for Mr. Sippy since he left behind
his prosperous life in Pennsylvania with his wife and nine daughters. The west has proved to be challenging. Billy’s friend Joe Lovelady soon shows up with their mounts, and the three men head down the mountain toward Greasy Corner and destiny. Billy is just a kid when he meets Mr. Sippy, his reputation far exceeding any real exploits. But he is on his way to fame and Mr. Sippy is along for the ride – there to set the record straight as Billy’s violence escalates in an attempt to keep up with his reputation. • July 30 the Non-Fiction Book Club discusses “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI” by David Grann. The Osage Nation had been driven onto a reservation in Oklahoma because the land was worthless: rocky, dry, unfit for cultivation. In the late 1800s the tables turned, while the land on top might not fit the description of desirable farmland, there was
black gold underground. By the early 1920s the Osage Nation’s Native Americans were the richest people in the world. Whites were seething at the wealth of the Osage Nation. Murder was the solution, not just one murder but conspiracies of murders, large numbers of murders. A fledgling bureaucracy was just beginning, it would be called the FBI, its director, a young chap named J. Edgar Hoover sent his agent, Tom White, down to Oklahoma to put a stop to the killing. But it took the ingenuity of the Osage Nation to investigate the crimes. Texas Rangers, crooked ranchers, Native Americans, FBI and a slew of interesting people make this an engrossing story of just how far corruption and greed can go left unchecked.

Lady golfers play first ‘Home and Home’ event Sunriver Women's Golf Association (SWGA) has had a busy month. Although one Wednesday in May got rained out, the ladies made up for it with a spectacular day of golf together at Brasada, where they were treated to golf and lunch in the first “Home and Home” of the season. Sunriver's women will reciprocate with the Brasada golfers in September. Congratulations to the team of Sue Braithwaite, Diana Norem and two Brasada partners Stuntz and Williams, for their team victory in this best ball event. Sue Wassom won the closest to the pin award. The ladies' first day at Woodlands was May 30. Flight 1 winners were Sue Wassom (gross), Mary Jensen, Kathy Linville, Helen Brown and Carol Woodruff. Flight 2:

For some students, this was their first experience with theater arts. “This was an amazing opportunity to expand the horizons for so many of our south Deschutes County youth,” said Foster.

minutes average per foursome. Through the beginning of June the weekly average per group was 4:22 minutes, with the single fastest recorded time of 3:54 and the slowest at 4:51. Of course there are mitigating factors, like who is on the course ahead of the club, but the main thrust has been to be sure to keep right on the heels of the group ahead, not just ahead of the group behind.

stood for servant leader; “H” for honor; “I” for inquisitive; “N” for never give up; “E” for enthusiasm. The students were taught one or more drama techniques each week to support the growth of their stagecraft skills. They were also given voice and musical instruction and coaching. The variety of on-stage and backstage drama, musical and voice techniques taught were designed to prepare the STARS drama camp students for being cast members in larger theater productions at some point in the future. “One goal of the STARS Kids Drama Camp was to build stage craft skills and confidence. I feel this was a huge success as evidenced in the final showcase,” said Michele Hans, STARS Kids Drama Camp director. “We had students in the beginning who did not want to stand on stage or speak in front of an audience. One student was so excited that she was performing on stage for the first time ever, and singing a solo!” said Hans. “I believe theater arts can facil-
itate a lot of personal growth and help children overcome barriers and gain confidence while developing stage craft skills.” SSCT founder and artistic director, Victoria Kristy, has continually held this vision of bringing theater arts enrichment oppor tunities to the youth in Sunriver, La Pine and surrounding communities. “Our STARS Kids Drama Camp is a true enrichment program,” said Kristy. At this time, the SSCT board hopes to continue offering its STARS Kids Drama Camp once a year, each spring. “The STARS Kids Drama Camp will walk hand-in-hand, be an extension of, what the children
might take on in one of our big productions,” said Kristy. The next SSCT production, which will include children, will be this coming fall with Kristy directing “Oliver!” First auditions were in April, but second auditions will take place Aug. 16, 6-7 p.m. in Room 208 above Village Properties in the Sunriver Business Park.

Letters from readers Traffic circle proposal too much
Chorus of One: Holding the board accountable
By Jay Bowerman, Resident & member of the Concerned Owners Group In November, a group of concerned long-time Sunriver owners/residents placed an open letter in the Sunriver Scene presenting eight items that they felt warranted improvement by our elected board of directors. President Hensley, in a subsequent board meeting, said that because the original letter contained no specific recommendations, the board did not intend to respond. Although some believe that there were substantive recommendations in the original letter, the group subsequently prepared a list of seven “recommendations.” These were presented to the SROA board in March, discussed in a private meeting with selected board members in April, and reviewed officially at the May board meeting. However, no actions were taken at that meeting. In the interest of transparency and keeping owners informed, here is a summary of those recommendations, condensed for brevity. The SROA board records should have the full text of the recommendations. 1. Improve board effectiveness through an annual board training session facilitated by a professional consulting organization with experience in Home Owner Associations. 2. Hold election of board officers after seating new board members rather than before. 3. Limit board terms to no more than 2 consecutive 3-year terms, 4. Institute a board philosophy to that of “servant leaders.” 5. Develop a positive and collaborative relationship with the Community, Resort, Property Managers, Village and others. 6. Re-establish the Environmental Committee. 7. Re-build a constructive, customer service approach to working with owners, stakeholders and public vs. enforcement.
By Bill Miller, Sunriver The August SROA ballot will include a vote on a $1,800,000.00 measure to improve the Abbott Drive/Beaver Drive intersection. I do not support spending this much money from the SROA Reserve fund for what I consider a seasonal inconvenience. Admittedly, in the summer months and Christmas holidays there can be brief waits to turn on to Abbott Drive. The rest of the year there is usually little or no delay at all at this intersection. The Reserve fund should be reserved for projects that have significant benefit to the Sunriver owners. In the near future the North pool will need an extensive (and expensive) upgrade. Mary McCallum Park has long needed some improvements (think flush toilets). I will be voting against a measure that spends too much money on too little benefit.
Scene Opinion Policy To support a free and open exchange of information and ideas, the Sunriver Scene welcomes letters to the editor up to 200 words, and Chorus of One submissions up to 400 words, on topics of relevance to Sunriver.

From the Editor’s Desk: Sunriver rules provide safety, enjoyment for all Headed home recently I was coming around Circle 1 and was startled to see a young boy no older than 8 or 9 weaving and wobbling on his bicycle around the circle at Center Drive. My first thought was… “good grief, we have 34 miles of paved pathways – WHY are you in the road!?!” At least he was wearing a helmet, but the bike he was on was a bit large for him (hence the wobbling). After watching the car ahead of me swerve around him, I pulled up alongside and rolled down my window… “Honey, you can’t be riding in the roads, please go to a pathway.” While it’s great that parents feel safe enough to allow their children to explore Sunriver on their own, they need to educate them on the basics of bicycle and roadway safety. More than once I’ve witnessed children on bicycles (and adults, for that matter) riding on the roads or darting out in front of traffic without even looking. I know… Sunriver has a plethora of rules but these rules are in place to ensure the enjoyment and safety by residents as well as the thousands of visitors that flock here during the busy “touristy” months. As a residential and resort community, there’s a fine line of tolerance by those who live here with visitors afflicted with “vacation brain.” Visitors are asked to be kind to the environment and treat Sunriver like you would your own home. Here’s a rundown of Sunriver’s most commonly-broken rules. • PATHWAYS -Ride/walk on paved pathways only – not on main roadways. -Helmets required for ALL riders and passengers under 16 years (Oregon law). -Pedestrians and people walking cycles have rightof-way on paths and at road crossings. SUNRIVER SCENE • JULY 2018
-People riding cycles MUST YIELD to vehicles at road crossings. -Walk bicycles through ALL tunnels. -Pass safely on the left after giving a friendly audible warning: “passing on your left.” -Stop without obstructing other traffic. -Pets must be secured in baskets or trailers; do not ride with leashed pets alongside. -Smoking and littering are prohibited on paths, roads and common areas. • VEHICLES & PARKING: The maximum speed limit is 25 mph on all Sunriver roads and lanes. All vehicles must be parked on an owner’s property or in a designated parking area. Do not park along roads and do not block passage of emergency vehicles (or snowplows in winter). • RECREATIONAL VEHICLES: Motor homes, campers, tents or trailers may not be used for overnight accommodations. Recreational vehicles including motor homes, campers, boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles and trailers may be parked only on owner’s property or in the driveway on a temporary basis not to exceed 48 hours within a seven-day period. RV storage is available for a nominal fee. www.sunriverowners.org
• SMOKING & FIRES: Smoking is prohibited other than on private property, within an enclosed motor vehicle, or when specifically permitted by signs. No outdoor fires are permitted. Only gas or electric barbecues are permitted outdoors. Discard burning materials, such as cigarettes and fireplace ashes, in a fireproof container only. • DRONES: Sunriver is a no-fly zone and drones of any size are prohibited without prior written permission from the Sunriver Owners Association and Sunriver Airport management. • PETS: Pets must be attended when not confined to a property. Pets must be under effective voice or leash control. Persons walking dogs must have a leash in possession at all times. The person responsible for a pet must also clean up after it. • WILDLIFE: Do not approach wildlife; they may appear tame, but they are unpredictable wild animals. Do not allow pets to harass or chase wildlife. A doe protecting a fawn will attack if they feel threatened. If you have questions about wildlife, contact the Sunriver Nature Center at 541-593-4394. • FIREARMS & FIREWORKS: Use of weapons and firearms is prohibited, including BB guns, paintball guns, bows and arrows and all fireworks (including fireworks that are considered “safe and sane”). • CARDINAL LANDING BRIDGE: Do not jump or dive from the bridge. Fluctuating water levels and hidden, underwater obstructions create extremely hazardous conditions. Please report violations of rules to the Sunriver Police when they happen (don’t wait because it’s a weekend or after hours). During business hours, you can reach them at 541-593-1014. After hours and on weekends call the non-emergency number at 541-693-6911 and ask to speak to a Sunriver officer. If it is an emergency, or a crime in progress, always dial 911. Page 39
