Portland vocalist to open for The Temptations; local musicians to play Nearly two-thirds of tickets to see The Temptations Aug. 19 in Sunriver were sold before Liz Vice was announced as the opening act. With the Portlandbased gospel soul singer on the billing, remaining tickets are expected to sell out quickly. A local horn section hired to perform with The Temptations at the John Gray Amphitheater might be an additional draw to music fans.

The Temptations are known for their choreography, distinct harmonies, and flashy wardrobe. The group was highly influential to the evolution of R&B and soul music. Having sold tens of millions of albums, The Temptations are one of the most successful groups in music history.

Andrew and Vanessa Peterson got married during the 2015 Pacific Crest weekend. The Peterson’s entire wedding party completed the Tour de Crest bike ride on Friday. The wedding ceremony was held on Saturday, and to wrap up the festivities the newlyweds raced in the Olympic Triathlon on Sunday.

Some use Pacific Crest as a personal challenge. Robert Ripley of Bend underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments in 2014. Last year, Ripley at age 54, was the master’s champion and 4th overall for the Olympic course duathlon. “He was there with his wife, being crowned a champion – a true champion on so many levels and an impressive testimony to courage, determination, perseverance and an inspiration to all,” McMillan said.

Highway 97 from Romaine Village Way in Bend to Lava Butte is under construction for repaving and the installation of median barriers. Oregon Department of Transportation said the project “will greatly improve the safety of this stretch of highway that has had a significant number of reported crashes.”

Work will include widening the highway between Baker Road (milepost 144) and Lava Butte (milepost 148) and installing concrete median barrier, with a gap at High Desert Museum, repaving approximately 5 miles of highway from Romaine Village Way (milepost 142) to the weigh station (milepost 147), upgrading signs and guardrails as necessary and installing shoulder rumble strips.

In order to widen the road to install a median barrier, traffic will be limited to a single lane in the southbound direction through August. Shoulder widening and installation of median barrier will take place during the day.

Traffic will experience minimal delays with reduced speeds through the work zone. Paving will be performed at night starting in August under flagger control.

‘Family-friendly’ is key to Pacific Crest Sports Festival’s success The Pacific Crest Sports Festival is celebrating its 20th anniversary in Sunriver June 24-26. This year’s festival includes 18 races (among them a 5k, 10k, half marathon, full marathon, duathlon, triathlon, bike tours and children’s races) suitable for all ages and abilities and is expected to attract 5,000 participants, making it the largest sporting event in Central Oregon according to organizers.

“Probably the key to the Pacific Crest’s longevity is the family-friendly nature of the event,” said Sherri McMillan, owner of Why Racing Events which owns and runs the event. “Many athletes make this an annual launch into summer tradition by bringing their entire family and a group of friends. Last year Pac Crest hosted a wedding party, family reunions and getaways for lifelong friends.”

McMillan said the event features a popular post-event party with live music, dancing and a food and beer SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN. VOLUME XLIl • NUMBER 6 P.O. BOX 3278 SUNRIVER, OR 97707

garden where athletes share post-race stories and friends and family of athletes are welcome to hang out and enjoy the festivities.

“There’s so much to do in Sunriver and Central Oregon including SHARC – Sunriver’s popular water park – hiking, bike paths, white water rafting, canoeing, paddle-boarding, horseback riding, golfing, shopping and great restaurants, making the event a perfect race-cation,” McMillan said.

Legacy athletes Ryan Chase, an avid triathlete and marketing manager for Deschutes Brewery, participates every year and said it’s his favorite event. “It is the only event that my friends’ families beg them to race so they can all have fun, too.”

Chase said that the venue, scenery, live music and range of activities are what keep people coming back year after year.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 541.585.2903

From Scene staff and state agencies Based on the effectiveness of two wildlife crossings along Highway 97 at Lava Butte and near Sunriver, state agencies are considering additional crossings between Sunriver and La Pine.

Two goals of the Highway 97 South Century Drive to U.S. Forest Service Boundary project are to develop crossing improvements to decrease animal vs. vehicle collisions and allow safer wildlife migration through the area. Increasing capacity of the highway, reducing congestion, improving travel time reliability and safety are other project goals.

The project proposes to expand Highway 97 to a fourlane divided highway from the South Century Drive interchange (milepost 153) six miles south to the U.S. Forest Service boundary (milepost 159). Milepost 158 in this section is identified as an area of high deer vs. vehicle collisions.

The proposed expansion would match the four-lane divided highway expansion from Lava Butte to South Century Drive completed in 2012. It would tie into other recently constructed highway improvements to the north creating a more cohesive transportation system along this corridor of Highway 97.

Construction continued from page 1

Traffic delays of around 10 minutes are expected between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. during paving that should last around two weeks.

In the past 10 years there have been 87 reported crashes between where the existing concrete median barrier ends south of Baker Road and where it begins again near Lava Butte.

Of these crashes, eight have been head-on and three have been swipe crashes, resulting in five deaths and numerous injuries.

For information and to sign up to receive periodic construction updates, visit: www. oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/ REGION4/Pages/Roadwork Improvements.aspx

recommended a 130-foot wide arch bridge covered with native materials to mimic the surrounding terrain that would encourage deer to walk over the highway. By contrast, the wildlife crossings near Lava Butte direct deer under the highway.

Both types of crossings – under and over – incorporate miles of fencing along both sides of the highway to funnel deer and other wildlife to the designated safe passage location.

ODOT says it will work with property owners, stakeholder groups and the general public to collaborate on the planning, design and construction of the divided highway. Planning of the milepost 153-159 project is expected to occur this year and into 2017. The estimated project cost is $16 million. No construction timeline has been established.

Information: 541-388-6064.

quires SROA members present their 2016 SROA Member Preference card to personally obtain a return shuttle ticket at the Sunriver Resort Marina building in advance of beginning a float trip from the SROA boat launch. Owners must then present the return shuttle ticket at the end of their float at the canoe takeout for their transport back to the marina.

Owners and their watercraft will be returned to the SROA boat launch after resort guests and watercraft have been dropped off in the marina parking lot. The last return shuttle leaves the canoe takeout at 5:30 p.m. The shuttle is only for owners and passengers in the owner’s watercraft. Recreation Plus card holders are not eligible to receive the shuttle service.

One change to this year’s program is a shuttle service to Harper Bridge. Any homeowner seeking to float from Harper Bridge back to the SROA boat launch will also need to obtain a shuttle ticket, and utilize the service during its hours of operation. It is for inflatables only. No hard-shell watercraft may use the shuttle service to Harper Bridge.

SUNRIVER SCENE • JUNE 2016

The two wildlife undercrossings were incorporated in the 2012 four-lane expansion.

An ongoing study shows a 98 percent decrease in the number of animal vs. vehicle collisions in the project area. There have been two collisions between vehicles and wildlife in the Lava Butte area the past three years.

Deer, elk, bobcats, black bears, squirrels and other species are using the structures to avoid crossing the highway, making it safer for people and wildlife.

“The underpasses help ensure the safe passage of deer to and from their seasonal home ranges, which is essential to their survival,” said Jackie Cupples, a research biologist with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Because we have seen that the highway serves as a barrier to migration, we will continue to collaborate with ODOT and other partners to maintain migration routes.”

Last year Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and ODOT developed plans for a wildlife crossing at milepost 190 near Crescent. The plans were shelved due to lack of funds and officials shifted their attention to the South Century to Forest Service Boundary project, which is in the planning stage. No site-specific plans for new wildlife crossings in the milepost 153 to 159 project area have been released.

At milepost 190, officials

Just as SROA members use their homes for a variety of purposes, our members have a variety of reasons why they bought their Sunriver properties. For full-time residents, Sunriver provides many of the features needed in a primary residence: Sunriver is where these owners do their banking, go to church, or participate in a book group. Our 2014 owner survey showed that about three-fourths of full-time residents are retired.

A much higher percentage of vacation-home and rental-home owners are still employed near their primary residences located in Oregon, Washington, California, and around the world. Many of these SROA owners also have family commitments near their primary residences. At last year’s open house, I spoke with vacation-home owners who

He encouraged SROA to consider contracting with SNCO for invasive species control.

-Jay Bowerman, principal researcher at SNCO, said contract discussions between SROA and SNCO staffs were unnecessarily contentious. He said the value SNCO provides goes beyond the money SROA pays. Bowerman said SROA’s commitment to the environment should be its highest priority.

-Tom Kelly said Sunriver is all about the natural world. He supports SNCO and believes it provides vital services. He said SROA needs SNCO’s professional assistance with the Oregon spotted frog, which was recently listed as a threatened and endangered species.

-Harry Hamilton provided historical perspective and a timeline of SNCO’s role in Sunriver. He described the proposed contract as “a good product between SROA and SNCO.” Hamilton said SNCO is interested in being invited to bid on requests for proposals to control invasive bullfrogs.

noted that they would love to spend more time in Sunriver, but that “life gets in the way.”

These SROA members reside full time in the Portland area.

They have elderly parents living in Portland, adult children with demanding full-time careers in Portland, and grandchildren that they want to spend time with. For vacation-home owners like this couple, Sunriver can be a getaway, providing an opportunity to relax and enjoy the sunshine, peace and quiet, and clean air in Sunriver, along with the myriad recreational activities the Sunriver Owners Association has to offer.

Indeed, for all owners and their guests, the Sunriver Owners Association offers a wealth of amenities, ranging from basketball courts to the fitness center; from parks, pools and playgrounds to tennis and pickle ball courts; from walking or biking on our 33 miles of pathways to access to the Deschutes River via SROA’s own boat launch facility (with the popular shuttle service being offered again this year to Member Preference cardholders). Our paved pathways

consistently rank as SROA’s number one amenity. At the open house, I enjoyed chatting with owners of a vacation home in Sunriver. They emphasized the importance of the pathways to their family: their kids can ride their bikes safely on SROA’s pathways without having to contend with the danger of riding on city streets.

These profiles of SROA’s members show the diversity of SROA’s members and the variety of services they ask SROA to provide. The challenge to SROA’s Board and staff is to capture those wants, needs, and concerns and process them through the association’s charge of fiduciary duty - to act in best interest of SROA’s owners as a whole. Meeting with owners helps us identify and understand those important points of interest and eliminates some of our guesswork. It betters our chances of addressing what is indeed most important to the entire membership.

Of course, Sunriver means something special, and different, to each owner. We all have

Sunriver a Tree City for 36th year For the 36th year, Sunriver Owners Association has been awarded the Tree City USA designation by the American Arbor Day Foundation. This award honors the recipient for its dedication to urban forestry.

Of the 56 communities in Oregon to receive the award, Sunriver is the only unincorporated community included due to Sunriver’s very early involvement before unincorporated communities became ineligible

End the day and continue to welcome summer with a barbecue and live music at the North Pool from 5:30-7:30 p.m. SROA staff will be grilling burgers and dogs with chips, soda, beer or glass of wine. This event is free to Sunriver property owners with a 2016 Member Preference ID card and $5 for owners without an updated membership, or friends and family. Outside food and beverage is also welcome.

There will also be a brief celebration at 6 p.m. in front of the North Pool to commemorate the completion of paving Sunriver’s 33+ miles of pathways.

for the award. In Oregon, only Portland, Salem and Eugene have received the award longer than Sunriver and only by a few years.

The Tree City USA criteria requires communities to spend a certain dollar amount per capita on community forestry activities, which Sunriver “far exceeds” said Dave Jendro, vice president of the SROA Board of Directors.

Tree City award recipients must have ordinances that explain who is responsible for tree and forest care, proclaim an Arbor Day each year, and have an advisory commission on tree issues.

Oregon Guitar Trio to perform “There are many benefits to being in a group as opposed to being a solo act,” said Matt Gwinup, local musician and member of the Oregon Guitar Trio. “With a group you have other musicians to work with and rely upon in a performance.” Enjoy an hour of music with the trio on June 4 at the Sunriver library and on June 5 at the Downtown Bend Library. Both performances begin at 2 p.m. and are free and open to the public.

The Oregon Guitar Trio members met when Gwinup and David Kelley were studying classical guitar at South-

ern Oregon University under the tutelage of David Rogers, Director of Guitar Studies at SOU. They played together as part of a quartet until graduation and career changes separated the musicians. The trio regrouped in 2014 and in spite of their geographic separation manages to gather to practice and perform around the state.

During their library performances the Trio will play chamber music from ancient times to modern, including original works and arrangements of popular tunes.

View beautiful blooms at the annual wildflower show The 28th Annual Central Oregon Wildflower Show, hosted by the Sunriver Nature Center and made possible by numerous volunteers and the High Desert Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon (NPSO), returns to Sunriver June 11-12.

“This is the only wildflower show in Central Oregon,” said Susan Berger, NPSO High Desert Chapter vice president and show co-coordinator. “Our chapter is excited about the show’s return, and we see it as a great opportunity to assist the Sunriver Nature Center to educate others about Oregon’s native plants and habitats.”

In the early 1980s, the show began as a result of residents and visitors bringing flowers and other plants to the nature center asking, “What is this?”

Staff would identify the plant, put it in a vase and place it on a table. A few displays grew

11 opening to collect plant clippings. Once harvested, it’s a race against time to preserve the blooms. “Last year the show boasted over 230 species,” said Jennifer Curtis, Sunriver Nature Center manager.

Once the plant clippings are delivered to the nature center, botanists from NPSO chapter and U.S. Forest Service work to identify and label each plant in time for the show’s opening the next morning.

It is expected that more than 200 plants could be on display, but it’s really up to Mother Nature. “We’re hopeful that this winter’s abundant snowfall will produce a brilliant display of color throughout Central Oregon. It’s our favorite time of year and we’re very excited to share our love of wildflowers with our community and beyond,” said Curtis.

Aside from the floral displays, this year’s show will also

feature a native plant sale with potted plants from WinterCreek Nursery in Bend and the ever popular showy milkweed from Clearwater Nursery in Redmond. Guest speakers will present on various topics including landscaping with native plants, wildflower hikes of Central Oregon, monarch butterflies and beekeeping. Due to limited space at the nature center, the guest lectures will be held at SHARC. This year the show is also hosting several vendors including Allura Henna, Oregon Natural Desert Association, and Monarch Advocates of Central Oregon.

“We are also recruiting volunteers to help “spring clean” the center’s botanical garden on June 12,” said Curtis. “Stop by and get your hands dirty, we’ll

provide the tools!”

The show is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $6 adults, $4 for ages 2-12 for the entire weekend and includes the lectures and admission to the nature center.

Resort’s utility company saves toads Hundreds of Western toads (Bufo boreas) gather each spring to court and lay eggs in Lake Penhollow, the reservoir created to hold Sunriver’s treated wastewater.

This year’s breeding effort coincided with a period of hot, sunny weather during which rapidly falling water levels threatened to strand thousands of eggs recently laid in a corner of the lake.

When nature center research staff discovered the eggs in dangerously shallow water, a quick call went out to Steve Runner, vice president of Resort Development. Runner then called Sunriver utilities staff who promptly stopped withdrawing water from Lake Penhollow. Two days later the toad embryos were hatching, the potential crisis had passed, and irrigation from Lake Penhollow resumed.

Jay Bowerman, principal researcher at Sunriver Nature Center, estimated that about 150,000 toad eggs were saved by the prompt action of the resort and utility company.

Since its creation in the late 1980s, Lake Penhollow has become a breeding ground and nursery for both Western toads and pacific chorus frogs.

Second Tern volunteers used a large dolly to relocate the ski shack closer to the front of the store.

News from the Second Tern Volunteers of the Month You probably have heard of shape shifters (think The Hobbit, Chronicles of Narnia, Twilight Saga and even Gilgamesh) but do you know about the “shed shifters” at the Second Tern?

On May 9, a group of dedicated Tern volunteers moved the old ski shack from its location in the back area of the “compound” out in front of the old tool shed with a T-shaped axle dolly and a Bobcat designed and operated by Hugh Rosenberg. His stalwart helpers were Bud Officer and Brian Tracy. Before the shed could be moved it had to be emptied.

Kirsten Force, Colly Rosenberg, Gail Drew, Sylvia Moore and Jan Tuckerman moved all the ski equipment and then got out of the way.

The guys jacked up the shed onto a large dolly, dug underneath, scraping out gravel, muscled the shed further onto the dolly, and finally the Bobcat dragged the dolly and shed off the gravel area, onto the asphalt, turned the corner, up the driveway and then backed the shed into the planned new location and it became the new

SUNRIVER SCENE • JUNE 2016

tool shed.

“If you are planning to move a building,” said Tracy, “it’s good to have the person on hand that built it.” In this case, that person was Rosenberg.

Once the big shed was in place, the tools were moved in to the new tool shed under the expert guidance of Phil McCage, the tool guy. Household items (vacuum cleaners, light fixtures, brooms, towel racks, etc.) were moved to the old tool shed and ski boots and helmets and bike helmets and assorted bike stuff went into the other small shed while Al Klascius sorted through the end-of-season skis.

“One down and two to go,” stated Rosenberg, referencing the next step in the reorganization is to shift the two smaller sheds toward the back and create an open “courtyard” area for the better display of items such as exercise equipment, barbecues, lawn mowers and for better overall visibility.

According to volunteer coordinator, Kirsten Force, “This change makes it much easier for our customers to see and find that much needed item.”

Although we can’t promise

you the chance to be a “shed shifter,” we are always looking for more volunteers and scheduling is flexible. If you would like to join this dedicated group of people, support the surrounding community by helping recycle high quality used goods, making items available at an affordable price and raise funds for the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory, call Kirsten Force, Second Tern volunteer coordinator, at volunteer@secondtern.com or 541-719-8376.

The Second Tern, 17377 Spring River Road, is open Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m – 3 p.m. Your donations are very welcome, both of goods and time.

Mystery masks Amid all the traditional merchandise found at the Second Tern Thrift Store the out-ofthe-ordinary “treasure” regularly shows up. This month’s prime example is a pair of jungle masks that seem to have originated in Guatemala.

One appears to vaguely resemble a leopard’s face (or someone with a severe case of measles), while the other

www.sunriverowners.org

is more menacing – possibly hinting of voodoo. Either could serve as Halloween ornaments or for a family basement with a jungle motif. Another suggestion would be to place them on the front door to chase off annoying relatives or door-todoor politicians.

“I’m not sure you can really

call them ‘treasures,’ “ said veteran volunteer Jan Tuckerman, “but they certainly are proof you never know what might be lurking on our shelves. That’s why it pays to keep visiting us on a regular basis.”

Store manager Colly Rosenberg agreed. “Keeping things fresh invigorates everyone.”

Located on Spring River Road ¼-mile west of Harper Bridge, the Second Tern is open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday. All sales benefit Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory.

“Fuzztail Hefeweizen has been on a long journey of refinement the last two years and this award is the end result of a lot of hard work. The

brewing team couldn’t be happier to have Fuzz tail competing and winning at this level,” said Brett Thomas, Sunriver Brewing Company head brewer, who has won 10 national awards since 2010.

Fuzztail also earned a gold medal at the 2016 Best of Craft Beer awards.

“We are ecstatic to have won with Fuzztail.

‘A celebration of art’ planned Five years ago Sunriver resident and artist, Midge Thomas, thought it would be an excellent idea to bring together an eclectic group of 30 Central Oregon artists to sell their work in Sunriver. On the fifth anniversary of the Sunriver Artists’ Gallery, Thomas’ vision of a fine art gallery administrated by the artists themselves has been a huge success by all measures.

The month of June will be a celebration of art with a special event Saturday, June 11, from 4 to 7 p.m. when the regularly scheduled Second Saturday artist reception will be complemented by live music by Bend singer/songwriter Tara Snow. A free art raffle will also be held that evening.

The celebration continues throughout the month with artist demonstrations. Though casual in form, each presentation is designed to share a specific artist’s work, technique

and background.

Saturday, June 4 1 p.m.: Karla Proud on the gemstones of Oregon, and where to find them.

4 p.m.: Peter Roussel’s alternative pottery firing techniques.

Saturday June 11 1 p.m. Kim Leahy and the art of Kumihomo jewelry beading.

4 p.m. Whimsical watercolor techniques by Deni Porter.

Saturday, June 18 1 p.m.: Mary Wonser and the art of hand looming.

4 p.m.: Dori Kite on the secrets of slab built pottery.

Saturday, June 25 1 p.m.: Bill Hamilton will demonstrate the layout process of a painted landscape.

4 p.m.: Bonnie Junell will demonstrate the design and evolution of her popular poppy paintings.

While previous residential internet packages included 15 Mbps, 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps, the new tiers provide three internet speed options: Ultra 50 Mbps, Ultra 100 Mbps and Ultra 300 Mbps Customers with 15 Mbps Bronze and 25 Mbps Silver internet tiers are eligible for a free speed increase to 50 Mbps, and will receive letters on how to take advantage of the offer.

“We have invested heavily into the BendBroadband network, and those improvements have paved the way for monumental upgrades like this one,” said Shane West, vice president of Marketing and Product Development for parent company TDS Telecommunications Corp.

With the launch of the new packages, BendBroadband plans to eliminate monthly overage fees when customers bundle qualifying Internet and TV services.

BendBroadband business customers can expect new internet tiers to be available later this summer.

Leave young wildlife in the wild This is the time of year when newborns animals are getting their start in the wild. Help them out by giving them space and leaving them alone.

The Sunriver Nature Center, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and Oregon State Police want to remind residents and visitors that taking young animals out of the wild isn’t just against the law — it’s also bad for the animal. These animals 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.

Unfortunately, every year about this time, the Sunriver Nature Center and ODFW offices across Oregon get calls from people concerned about “orphaned” deer fawns, elk calves and other animals they find alone. But the mother animal is usually just off feeding.

She will return soon, so don’t interfere.

“People often pick up animals they find alone out of good intentions, without realizing they may be sentencing

the animal to an early death by removing it from its natural environment and its parents,” said Julia Burco, ODFW wildlife veterinarian.

“Never assume a young animal is orphaned unless you saw the parent killed,” continued Buco. “In almost all cases, the parent will return once it is safe to do so, like when people and dogs aren’t around.”

If an animal is injured, or truly orphaned, it needs special care. Oregon’s licensed wildlife rehabilitators have the knowledge and facilities to provide this care. They use special methods that limit human interaction and mimic the animal’s natural lifestyle as much as possible, so the animal can hopefully be returned to the wild.

Before picking up any wild animal, you can call the Sunriver Nature Center, ODFW, or a wildlife rehabilitator for advice. Removing or “capturing” an animal from the wild and keeping it in captivity without a permit is against state law (OAR 635-044-0015), as is transporting many animals.

Mule deer fawns will soon start appearing around Sunriver.

Should you find a fawn, leave it alone unless you can verify its mother has been killed. In most cases, the mother left it behind while she forages for food and will return later in the day.

Last year, seven people were cited for such offenses.

Tips if you encounter a young animal in the wild: Deer, elk and other mammals • Never assume an animal is orphaned. Don’t remove it from the forest, including your backyard. Female deer and elk and other mammals will often leave their young temporarily for safety reasons or to feed elsewhere. They will return when it is safe to do so (when

people, dogs, or predators are not present).

• Call your local ODFW office, the Sunriver Nature Center, or a licensed rehabilitation center when: 1) you see an animal that you know is orphaned because you observed the dead parent animal, or 2) the parent hasn’t returned for several hours or even up to a day, or 3) if the animal is clearly injured or in distress.

• Bunnies are rarely orphaned; mother rabbits only visit den sites at dusk and dawn to feed their young.

• Keep your dog or cat away from young wildlife, especially in the spring.

First Choice.

• Interior & Exterior Painting • Deck Building & Maintenance • Drywall Patch & Repair • Carpentry & Home Repairs

Birds • Leave fledgling birds alone.

It is natural for fledgling (mostly feathered) birds to be awkward while learning how to fly.

If you see one on the ground, leave it alone and keep your distance. Bring your pets under control and indoors if possible.

The mother bird will feed it for several days on the ground until it “gets its wings.”

• Return nestling birds to the nest. Nestlings (baby birds not fully feathered) found on the ground can be gently and quickly returned to the nest. If the nest is out of reach, place the bird on an elevated branch or fence, or in a nest made from a small box, out of the reach of children and pets. Leave the area so the parent birds can return.

• Bring your pets indoors.

Cats are a major cause of injury and death for all birds, killing millions of birds in the U.S. annually. Keep your pets away from fledgling birds learning to fly.

• Be careful when pruning trees as there may be a bird nest in the branch. Wait until birds are out of the nest.

• Beware of cavity nesters.

Barn owls and other birds could be nesting in hollowed-out trees or logs and in haystacks.

• What if a bird flies into a window and appears hurt?

Birds can be confused by reflective surfaces and mistakenly fly into windows. If you find a bird that has been stunned as a result of a window strike, put the bird in an uncovered box with a towel on the bottom.

Keep it in a quiet place away from pets and check back in a couple of hours. If the bird has recovered, it will have flown off.

If not, contact a local ODFW office or local wildlife rehabilitator. In Sunriver you can contact the Sunriver Nature Center at 541-593-4394.

How to fish for Lahontan cutthroat

The Sunriver Anglers Club hosts a presentation on how to fish for Lahontan cutthroat trout in Nevada’s Pyramid Lake on Thursday, June 16 at SHARC at 7 p.m.

Chris Wharton, owner of Stillwater Guide Service, will speak about fishing in the Reno – Lake Tahoe area. With more than 40 years of fly fishing experience, Wharton has fished the Nevada area for 32 years and guided it for 18, specializing in trophy trout on still water lakes and guiding and fishing the blue ribbon wild fish waters of the Truckee River.

The third largest lake in Nevada, Pyramid Lake is a natural wonder located in the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian Reservation in western Nevada. Covering 117,400 acres, it is the third largest of the remaining salt lakes in the United States, after Great Salt Lake in Utah and Salton Sea in California. Pyramid Lake is fed by the Truckee River with outflow from Lake Tahoe. It has no outlet; water leaves the lake only through evaporation of its high desert environment.

This hostile, but beautiful area is home to the Lahontan Small company… big company results!

cutthroat, the largest native trout in North America. In Wharton’s presentation, he will go in depth into the techniques to use to land more and larger fish in waters such as this world famous lake. He has had many of his clients land cutthroats over the 20-pound mark. As he puts it, it isn’t rocket science to catch fish at Pyramid, but there are many little intricacies that, when followed, will up the number of large fish caught.

East Lake outing On June 22, the Sunriver Anglers will have an outing at East Lake. Anglers will meet at 8:30 a.m. at campsite 2 near the boat ramp at the East Lake Campground. There will be a simple continental breakfast for anglers as they arrive. Phil Fischer will give a brief talk on fly patterns to use and where to go on the lake. After a morning of fishing, the anglers will return to the campsite to brag about the big ones landed and enjoy lunch. Some club members will spend Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the campground. The outing leader is Rynie Miyashiro.

Everyone is welcome to attend the club’s meetings and outings.

The Sunriver Anglers’ job is to feed the growing young fisher-people. Over six days, 684 hot dogs were grilled and consumed. After lunch, each student was given a fishing pole and a spot on the stocked fishing pond in the park. For many, it was their first attempt at fish-

ing, and whoops of joy were heard when a fish was hooked and landed. Special thanks go to Dan and Bunny Arnold, who headed up the Sunriver contingent of 23 volunteers.

Crystal Beach Persuasion

By Phil Fischer The name Crystal Beach Persuasion was born out of the necessity. We needed more of this pattern when our trip to Christmas Island was unexpectedly extended and we ran out of this fly.

Our weeklong trip was a fabulous experience and fishing was red hot. We celebrated the final night of our trip with a roasted pig and lobster dinner, entertainment and beverages right on the beach of the Crystal Beach Lodge. That night we went to bed with smiles on our faces and dreams of the many bonefish and trevally brought to hand. The 4 a.m. wakeup

Z

call was more than a little early.

After gulping coffee, we packed up and headed to Cassidy International Airport for our trip back to the mainland.

It was still dark when we arrived. Our driver had a few words with airport personnel, returned to the truck and announced to our group: “Plane no come.” There is only one flight a week into and out of Christmas Island and this announcement confused us. No one seemed to have any idea when the plane might come, yet took it in stride as things on island time always move at Turn to Persuasian, page 15

Vacasa picked up 111 units from the deal, and now manages a total of 212 homes, which the company said leads the Sunriver vacation rental market.

We share a belief in the importance of hiring local employees and contributing to the community, as well as the value of innovation.

According to the Vacasa statement, the acquisition is an opportunity to leverage expertise from a local company that has more than twenty years of industry experience.

the trip, suggested naming the fly the Crystal Beach Persuasion, not to be confused with the song of similar name. Given these flies were tied right on Crystal Beach and persuaded numerous bonefish and trevally to bite, the name stuck.

The Crystal Beach Persuasion is designed following many of the concepts from the original Gotcha, a legendary pattern. I adapted it to use UV Crystal Flash in the tail, and added Grizzly Micro Silicon legs. With these modifications, the Crystal Beach Persuasion worked especially well for Christmas Island’s bonefish and other species. Throughout the trip it was responsible for bonefish, several species of trevally, ladyfish, triggerfish and it was definitely the hot fly of the week for me.

Christmas Island is a “bucket list” trip, and I definitely recommend you put it up high on your list.

a very casual pace. We learned a couple of days later that a cyclone 2,000 miles away in Fiji caused our flight to be cancelled. We were left waiting five days for the trip home.

Communications in remote parts of the South Pacific are nowhere near the standards most people are accustomed to in the U.S. mainland. We couldn’t look at a smart phone for an update on the flight. The nearest communications was a small Internet café built out of shipping containers a few miles away. At $1 per hour the PCs occasionally connected with the Internet so we could access email.

It was several days before we learned of our rescue flight. But in the meantime, we were left with two choices: Sit on the beach and drink beer, or keep fishing. We chose both!

The first week of fishing exhausted this pattern in my fly box. Fortunately, I threw in rudimentary fly tying supplies at the last minute and they were needed. I got busy tying the first evening of our extended trip. Jack, one of the fellows on Hybrid LLC

Legs: Micro Grizzly Silicon Legs Abdomen: Pearlescent Polar Flash Wing: Pearlescent Polar Flash and Tan Craft Fur This is an effective pattern for bonefish and other saltwater flats species. If you go to Christmas Island, you’ll definitely want to take a few along. Maybe a few extras in case you get stranded fishing some unplanned days.

If you have questions or would like additional information about this pattern, please don’t hesitate to email me. Or if you have suggestions on future patterns to feature in this column, I welcome your input.

NORTHERN PYGMY OWL BY TOM LAWLER

Photo exhibit highlights area birds

The Sunriver Area Public Library will host an exhibit of photography by Tom Lawler June 25 to Aug. 27.

Lawler moved to Central Oregon in 2004 and began photographing birds soon after. His favorite subjects are local birds that can be found all seasons. In winter there are concentrations of birds-of-prey in the high desert. In spring and fall migrants are passing through, and in summer many species of birds breed in this area. Lawler’s favorite photography locations are Sunriver, Summer Lake and Klamath Falls.

Lawler is a member of the East Cascades Audubon Society and a volunteer at the Sunriver Nature Center where he leads Saturday bird walks.

Youthful anglers eagerly await Free Fishing Day

By Wes Perrin Excited shouts of “fish on!” are sure to ring out over Caldera Springs’ Lake Obsidian on Saturday, June 4, when Youth Free Fishing day takes place from 9 a.m. to noon.

Fishing is limited to children 14 years and younger, and chances for success are good as the lake has been stocked with several hundred rainbow and brook trout. They range in size from 10 to 12 inches with a few brood stock lunkers added for extra thrills. A limit of two fish per angler is imposed to ensure there will be ample opportunity for everyone to make a catch.

For those youthful anglers needing assistance, volunteers from the Sunriver Anglers Club will be available to lend a hand.

Bringing personal fishing gear is encouraged, but some will be provided at the site.

Anglers club past president Marv Yoshinaka has fond memories of past Free Fishing

Days. “During the morning it’s often hard to tell who is having the most fun – the kids or the adults helping out,” he said.

For many of the young anglers this will be the first fish they have ever caught and may open the door to a lifetime of enjoying the sport.

Once again, all participants must register and sign a liability release form.

Always well attended, the event is the result of the combined efforts of a number of individuals and organizations.

The owners of Caldera Springs provide the physical location.

Deschutes National Forest furnishes educational exhibits and displays. To top it off, Sunriver Resort offers a free hot dog lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. prepared by the Sunriver Anglers.

Throughout the morning young anglers and their families will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities including fish printing, tattooing (of the non‐permanent kind), casting instruction, viewing live fish displays, storytelling in a special “salmon tent,” and visiting with the “The Famous Talking Trout.”

“We’re really excited about the event and hope we can continue to stage the day for many years to come,” said Krista Miller, Caldera Springs general manager.

To reach Lake Obsidian, visitors entering Caldera Springs should proceed to the first stop sign where they will be directed to the parking and registration area. Please note that the lake is on private land and open to the public only on Free Fishing Day, June 4, 9 a.m. until noon for fishing.

This is her third year of collaboration with the research department at Sunriver Nature Center, who has collaborated with BSS over the past 15 years, providing research opportunities and mentoring to a number of students.

Dow-Hygelund’s project expanded on her earlier work comparing jumping performance of Oregon spotted frogs with invasive bullfrogs, a project that garnered a first place finish at last year’s expo. Dow-Hygelund also presented her work on spotted frogs and bullfrogs at this year’s annual meeting of the Society of Northwestern Vertebrate Biologists where her poster earned honorable mention in competition with more than 50 entries by college and graduate students.

This year’s expo was a sweep for the five students of the Bend Science Station, bringing home one “Best in Fair,” three “Best in Category” awards, and two first place awards at this Intelsponsored event. All five students were invited to participate in the Broadcom Masters national science fair.

Other students that brought home prizes were: Jimmy Plumleigh, a 7th grader at Cascade Middle school, took “Best in Category” in medicine and health and was also awarded the grand prize of “Best in Fair.”

Harper Smith, a 7th grade homeschool student, took “Best in Category” in consumer product testing, an excellence in statistics award, and $100 in prize money.

Jack Conde, a 7th grader at Pacific Crest Middle School, took first place in microbiology.

Teaghan Knox, a 6th grade homeschool student, took first place in plant science.

The Bend Science Station is a learning laboratory that provides science education for Central Oregon, offering innovative curriculum to students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and inquiry-based training for teachers. The Bend Science Station teaches public, private and home school students through school year programs, summer camps and partnerships with community agencies. Last year, the Bend Science Station taught more than 7,000 students and 175 teachers from 38 schools across Central Oregon.

“Celebrate endings – for they precede new beginnings.” –Jonathan Lockwood Huie

sunriver women’s club President’s message Every end is a new beginning and the road to a fresh beginning has opened with the installation of the 2016-17 officers. This group of women is filled with new ideas and new energy giving the SRWC renewed purpose.

We need to acknowledge that this new road is open because the retiring board of directors paved the way with the commitment of their time and talents. We thank them for their service and their vision.

Our summer calendar is filled with numerous opportunities to enrich your summer in Sunriver — from social events, to hikes and walks, to a plethora of volunteer opportunities that benefit our philanthropic endeavors. Please find a few hours to share with our Twilight Cinemas concessions, Macy’s Shop for a Cause, our annual community picnic, cookbook sales or our art faire.

The funds we raise help us give back to our community.

service is offered during the marina’s regular business hours, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., through Labor Day weekend. There is limited capacity and is available first come, first served. The Sunriver Marina reserves the right to adjust the hours of operations due to inclement weather or for private group events.

Information about the river shuttle service for owners is available by contacting the marina at 541-593-3492.

“This is an important collaborative effort between the two entities,” said Hugh Palcic, SROA general manager. “We look forward to working with Sunriver Resort on other mutually beneficial opportunities in the future.”

Pat Hensley, SROA board president, said the river shuttle service is appealing to many Sunriver owners. “They don’t have to have two cars. They can park at the SROA boat launch, put their boats in the water, enjoy a float down the river and be brought back to their vehicle. We heard major thanks from owners for setting up this service last year.”

Sunriver owners can utilize a complimentary river shuttle service with a current SROA Member Preference card.

SROA boat launch The Sunriver Owners Association boat launch next to Hola restaurant is entering its second year of operation. The facility features a gravel beach for hand-launching canoes, kayaks and rafts, and a paved ramp for launching and recovering trailered boats.

Access is via a gate that can only be activated with current SROA Member Preference or Recreation Plus Program swipe cards. The cards are available to SROA members at SHARC’s Member Services office. Information: 541-585-3147.

A snapshot of the live video of Chuck and Gracie at their nest.

Cam following Sunriver’s nesting swans Trumpeter swans Chuck and Gracie, who reside on Lake Aspen near the Sunriver Nature Center, could soon be proud parents. Gracie laid her first egg in late April, and the nature center soon set up a live camera (thanks to and on loan from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife) to keep an eye on the nesting pair. It is unknown how many eggs Gracie is sitting on, but staff expect the eggs to hatch in early June. Even though a trumpeter swan weighs in at 25-30 pounds, the birds use their large, webbed feet to incubate the eggs. To view the live video feed, go to the Sunriver Nature Center website at www.sunrivernaturecenter.org and click on the Chuck and Gracie Swan Cam link under the right hand box of Nature Center News.

Resort marina changes A checkpoint is in operation at the entrance to the Resort’s marina. All vehicles are stopped and questioned as to their reasons for entry. Only paying customers of the marina and Hola are permitted access.

The marina offers rentals of canoes, kayaks, rafts and stand up paddleboards to resort guests and the general public.

The marina’s rental fees include a shuttle to Harper Bridge or from the canoe takeout.

Community Bible Church plans expansion Community Bible Church at Sunriver plans to construct a fourth addition to its campus on Theater Drive that will connect its existing buildings, improve access to the sanctuary and create new meeting space.

John Kvapel of DKA Architecture said the project would be in two phases. The first phase involves constructing the two-story, approximately 5,000 square foot addition and finishing second story improvements first. Plans depict a fellowship hall just outside the sanctuary for food service, special events and seminars.

Other improvements include a commercial grade kitchen and refreshment service area, a room near the entrance of the sanctuary for children during services that would double as

An elevator between levels, expanded ADA access to restrooms, wider stair access to the lower level and 25 to 30 seats additional seats in the sanctuary are also planned.

Second phase lower level planned improvements include two large multi-purpose meeting rooms/classroom. These areas could be used for special events, adult and children activities and a host location for community groups. The existing fellowship hall on the lower level would be repurposed into a youth activities room. Additional elementary classrooms or

offices, expanded nursery and ADA compatible restrooms are also planned on the lower level.

Church elder Steve Runner said church members had raised 75 percent of the necessary funds to construct phase one improvements. Phase one costs are estimated at $1.3 million. Phase two is $2.3 million.

Pastor Glen Schaumloeffel said there is no rush to begin the project, and that he hoped to submit plans for review within a year to 18 months.

Rewards for doing good Rotary just finished its annual wine raffle and auction dinner. If you bought a raffle ticket or attended the dinner, thank you. Because of your generosity, the club continues to raise funds to support nonprofits that serve kids, seniors and low-income families in south Deschutes County.

Last month, Rotarians attended the Bend Chamber’s Central Oregon Impact Summit and its “Pitch for a Purpose.” This innovative program was designed to educate nonprofits on how to increase public awareness of their programs.

Sunriver Rotarians were excited to see that two nonprofits the

club supports, Healthy Beginnings and La Pine Community Kitchen, made the finals. We were thrilled to see the top $10,000 award went to La Pine Community Kitchen’s Executive Director Kim Hafermalz for her outstanding pitch.

Congratulations!

Stories worth sharing The Rotary club is always looking for great life stories to share with our members at our Wednesday morning (7:35 a.m.) meetings. If you would like to be a speaker, please email Mark Dennett (Mark@ dennettgroup.com).

Poker tournaments The club is exploring sponsoring a series of poker tournaments for fun and to support more local nonprofits. If poker is your game, we would love to know your interest in participating in local poker tournaments. You do not have to be a Rotarian to enjoy an evening of gaming fun. If interested, email Mark Dennett.

High Desert Museum otter exhibit renovation complete They’re back from otter space. Brook and Rogue, the High Desert Museum’s two resident river otters, have settled into their recently renovated exhibit space. Closed since the fall, the exhibit reopened May 21 and serves dual purposes of enhancing the visitor experience while maintaining an enriching habitat for the otters.

Renovations included a new roof, energy efficient pumps, sound reduction ceiling tiles and upgrades to the filtration and lighting systems. A river-

side mural painted by Sistersbased artist David Rock adorns the back wall and complements a new 750-gallon aquarium showcasing native fish. New interpretive panels and interactive displays provide additional information about the life cycle of otters, their role in nature and other plants and animals that live in or along rivers and streams.

Changes outside include nearly 300 square feet of glass wall that enhances viewing for children and those in wheel-

chairs, rock work on the existing walls, landscaping and an otter slide into a second pool.

The Autzen Otter Exhibit first opened in 1983 and is one of the museum’s most popular exhibits. More than four million visitors have watched the

Windermere Real Estate opens Sunriver branch Windermere Real Estate opened a branch office in the Sunriver Business Park in May. Located in the Sunriver Plaza, 56780 Venture Lane, Suite 107, the Sunriver branch office is home to six real estate agents: Managing principal broker John Baker, Dave Disney, Dave, Betty and Brad Driggers and Bea Leach Hatler. Tona Restine and Lawnae Hunter are co-owners and principal brokers. Hunter and Restine also own the Bend and Redmond Windermere office locations, collectively known as Windermere Central Oregon Real Estate.

Restine said opening a Sunriver branch was part of a long-term business plan and that the timing was right this spring. “Because Windermere started in Seattle and moved into the Portland metro area long ago, we really understand the second homebuyers coming into Sunriver. We have a good marketing strategy to work with our Portland and Seattle affiliates and buyers and sellers

in those areas.”

Hunter owned and operated Hunter Properties in Bend 2007-2013 before buying into the Windermere franchise in 2013. Hunter also owns Plus Property Management in Bend and Redmond, a company with a 30-year history.

Baker, a Sunriver resident, is a past president of the Oregon Association of Realtors and was the original managing principal broker for the Bend Windermere office.

“While the otter exhibit is one of our most beloved, it is also our oldest wildlife exhibit and faced several issues that impacted its functionality and visitors’ enjoyment,” said Dana

Whitelaw, High Desert Museum executive director. “The museum deeply appreciates all the financial support that made this renovation possible.”

We are also offering adult tennis players a new “Skills & Drills” clinic Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. This drill session focuses solely on point play and will put men and women in common match situations.

The program will finish every week with “Saturday Morning Smash” for adults from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. This is a fun morning of competitive mixed doubles that is perfect for players who are looking to practice what they learned all week in a match play environment. The “Smash” is complimentary when buying a weeklong pass or is $25 for three hours of fun, competitive doubles.

For juniors, we offer clinics to players ages 5 and up. Every morning, Monday through Friday, we hold our “Lil’ Shots” (ages 5-8) and “Big Shots” (ages 9-12) clinics from 9 to 10 a.m.

agencies and emergency managers communicate with citizens during emergencies,” said Steve Reinke, Deschutes County 911 director. “The ability to notify people via text, email and phone call will help us get people the information they need as quickly as possible.”

When signing up for the new system, residents can specify how they’d like to receive messages, with options ranging from landline

law enforcement agencies.

Most recent victims were instructed to go to Fred Meyer – WalMart has also been used in the past – and purchase some type of loadable charge card or debit card, then load that card with a specified amount of money.

The suspect will then instruct the victim to give them the card number over the phone. With that number the suspect can withdraw all the money attached to that card almost immediate-

ly. The money is generally taken by someone outside of the United States and is not recoverable by law enforcement.

“This is another reminder that no local law enforcement agency will call you on the telephone and ask for money or instruct anyone to load a credit/debit card for them,” Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Sgt. Vance Lawrence wrote in a May news release. “If you receive any phone calls regarding this issue or have any questions call our dispatch center at 541-693-6911 prior to following any instructions regarding this type of activity.”

Cascadia earthquake and tsunami response exercise scheduled June 7-10 Recently, much media attention has focused on the Cascadia Subduction Zone, an area off the Pacific Coast that threatens to deliver the most destructive earthquake and tsunami in North American history. While the topic has recently gained interest from the public and media, state and federal partners have been working with city, county and tribal emergency management entities to plan for this real eventuality, and working for many years to hone response plans and to ensure emergency response partners are

in sync to save lives and property when the “big one” hits.

Much of this planning will be put to the test over four days, June 7-10, when Cascadia Rising, a region-wide functional exercise, is conducted. It’s called a functional exercise because it tests specific functions and capabilities emergency management agencies have in place to respond to such an event.

As an emergency preparedness exercise that encompasses all aspects of emergency response, the exercise brings together multiple states (Ore-

gon, Washington, Idaho), and FEMA to prepare for a mega 8.0-9.0+ earthquake. Major Oregon cities, 23 counties, nine tribal nations, 17 state agencies and departments, the American Red Cross, and two private sector partner organizations have signed on to participate.

Emergency Operations and Coordination Centers (EOC/ ECCs) at all levels of government will activate to coordinate simulated field response operations within their jurisdictions and with neighboring communities, state EOCs/ECCs,

FEMA and a variety of military resources.

“Cascadia Rising will assess plans, processes, and our ability to communicate and coordinate to help to ensure that our emergency response partners across the region are working effectively and efficiently to protect lives, property and the environment during a catastrophic disaster,” says Andrew Phelps, OEM director. “Specifically, it’s an opportunity to provide decision makers with information to implement programs and policies that

allocate and manage resources efficiently with urgency during a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami, and other disasters.”

Although Cascadia Rising is not geared toward public participation, Phelps notes that Cascadia Rising provides an opportunity to show the public that government agencies are diligently working to be prepared for emergencies.

Phelps said this is fundamental to public safety and community resilience.

Authors Katie Dyer-Seeley, Pauls Toutonghi visit Sunriver Saturday, June 4 at 5 p.m. Katie Dyer-Seeley will give a presentation on the latest in her Meg Read mystery series, “Silenced in the Surf.” Meg lives in Portland and is a reporter for Northwest Extreme, an outdoor adventure magazine. The job utilizes her talents as a journalist but goes against her nature; she is a bit of an outdoor wuss. “Silenced in the Surf ” is set in Hood River where Meg is sent on assignment to cov- Katie Dyer-Seeley er a windsurfing Columbia River where she event.

His death was no accident, suspects abound.

The series goes all over Oregon.

“Slayed on the Slopes,” the second in the series, is set on Mt. Hood. Meg joins the Ridge Rangers in the Silcox Hut for a feature story on their mountaineering organization. A blizzard hits followed by a dead body with many suspects marooned together in the storm.

Billions and billions of sights to see.

Dyer-Seeley also writes as Elle Alexander. In “Meet Your Baker,” the first in

the series, Juliet Capshaw’s marriage is on the rocks, she returns home to Ashland where her mother runs a popular bakery. One of the board members for the Shakespearean festival is making life miserable for everyone she encounters.

Fielding Marshall was long on love for his puppy, Gonker, but short on common sense.

Fielding takes Gonker hiking on the Appalachian Trail when the dog disappears.

Gonker has a disease requiring regular medication to survive. This is the story of a family pulling out all the stops to find their beloved pet, and how the effort brings everyone closer.

Toutanghi is a gifted author, he tells Gonker’s story with humor, élan, and heart.

Books clubs read mysteries, fiction and classics

By Deon Stonehouse Each June, book clubs concentrate on a region, city, or state in the USA as a lead up to the 4th of July as a way to celebrate the country’s heritage and rich cultural diversity. This year Book Clubs are participating in a Month of North Carolina with several excellent selections.

June 6 the Mystery Book Club discusses “Time’s Witness” by Michael Malone. If I were to compile a list of my all-time favorite mysteries, this would surely be high on the list. When Cuddy Mangum was just a patrolman, back from fighting in the jungles of Vietnam, he was first on the scene of a fatal shooting of a police officer by a black man. George Hall was sitting by the gun, not attempting to flee. Sensing a lot of publicity, higher-ups took over and that was the last of Cuddy’s involvement until now. The passage of time took George Hall to death row and Cuddy became chief of police. Hall’s charismatic brother, Cooper Hall, is leading protests trying to save his brother’s life as the execution date grows near. A race for governor has the politicos testing the

wind on the issue and secrets about the cop are coming to light. Cuddy is an interesting character; born of a poor family in a mill town but brilliant and studying for a Ph. D. in his spare time, yet able to talk trash with the best of them.

Malone crafted an intricate mystery that is humorous and unsparing in its look at justice.

June 13 the Fiction Book Club discusses “Lookaway, Lookaway” by William Barnhardt. The Johnston family just might define dysfunctional Southern style. Upper class and well aware of their place in society, they have far less cash and many more skeletons hidden in their various closets than their friends would ever guess. Duke is totally involved in the Civil War, a conflict fought 150 years ago that feels as real to him as yesterday. His wife, Jerene, has her hands full keeping the family in line.

Her famous brother, Gaston, is an author with a highly

more different. Jerilyn heads off to college determined to pledge the right sorority and marry well, she is woefully unprepared for the world outside her mother’s control.

Joshua sells men’s clothing and trolls gay dating sites on the internet. Annie, a successful real estate maven, is a full figured woman who

these characters wherever they go.

June 27 the Classics Book Club discusses “Look Homeward Angel” by Thomas Wolfe. The story of a young man, Eugene Gant, from a large dysfunctional family in Altamont North Carolina (a fictional Asheville), the novel is largely autobiographical,

sharing many similarities with the life of its creator.

Wolfe’s rich, robust language is a pleasure to read. The story begins with Eugene’s ancestors; his grandfather who settled in Pennsylvania, his father learned stonecutting and moved south, settling in North Carolina where he became something of a rambling drunk capable of delivering inventive soliloquies and a town character. Eugene’s arrival on the scene is not lacking in drama. The child is adored and soon begins having adventures.

What drives this novel is a love of language and a brave coming of age story.

Join us for an interesting discussion. Everyone is welcome.

SUNRIVER SCENE * JUNE 2016

Sage Springs Club and Spa hosts mixed doubles tennis tourney Bob Harrington, Sunriver Resort tennis pro, ran a mixed doubles tennis tourney on the indoor courts at Sage Springs Spa April 23. There were two combined NTRP levels of play. The format was a round robin.

The 7.0 mixed doubles draw had some lively matches with first place going to Phil McCage and his partner, Nadine Ash, both long-time Sunriver players.

Carol and Tom Woodruff won second place after several close sets. Locals may know Tom from the front desk at Sage Springs. He and Carol are also known for their in-

volvement with the men’s and women’s Sunriver golf groups.

Third place went to the event’s youngest competitor, Anika Groener, a high school player from Bend and her father, Geoff.

The combined 8.0 mixed draw was won by Janey Evans and her husband Franz Wallentin who defeated Debbie and Dave Wightman in the finals 6-4, 6-3. The Wightmans finished by defeating Charlene Small and David Garcia from Bend 6-4, 6-4.

All tennis players are invited to the next tournaments in Sunriver including the Sunriver Solstice junior and

adult weekend tournament that starts on June 17.

“Ponderosas are a hardy, majestic native conifer which were heavily logged and now are rare in many local areas,” said Stevenson.

“They are the ideal replacement for lodgepoles killed by mountain pine beetle, wind damage and disease.”

Teachers, parents and students all spoke enthusiastically about their efforts.

Visitors were encouraged to check with individual resorts for opening dates.

In order to minimize risk to skiers, the Mt. Bachelor Nordic Center closed access to the common corridor when the Cascade Lakes Highway opened. Skiers wanting to access the backcountry on the Deschutes National Forest are asked to start their trip from Dutchman Flats snow park or another trail head.

Highway 242, the old McKenzie Pass, remained closed to motor vehicles through at least June 20. A single lane has been cleared all the way across the pass to expedite melting of remaining snow. The highway is open to bicycles. A May 13 post to the Ride Oregon Ride website noted there is some debris in the road and “a lot of light gravel in the turns and coming down the Belknap side above the gate.”

Spring has sprung and the Deschutes County Road Department has opened the Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road. The Oregon Department of Transportation did not expect to open McKenzie Pass to motor vehicles before June 20.

The Paulina Lake Road opened May 20 but some trailheads, campgrounds and side roads may still not be accessible and the road to Paulina Peak remained closed due to snow. Some boat docks may not be installed. Visitors were encouraged to contact individual resorts for full opening dates and operational details.

The Cascade Lakes Highway opened May 23. Motorists were cautioned spots of ice might still exist on the road, some trailhead and campground accesses may still be blocked with snow and off road parking is limited between Mt. Bachelor and Elk Lake.

Parking is not allowed within the travel lanes and road shoulders.

We love our sun here but Central Oregon has one of the highest rates of new melanoma diagnoses in the country. Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer.

Babies and children are much more sensitive to sun than adults. Just one blistering sunburn in childhood more than doubles a person’s chances of developing melanoma later in life.

Stay covered. Apply sunscreen generously and often, wear protective clothing and avoid excessive sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
