Mosquito forecast: Season off to slow start By Susan Berger, Sunriver This year’s mosquito season appears to be off to a slower start, thanks to late winter snow and cooler spring temperatures. Even with a slow start, Four Rivers Vector Control District (FRVCD) has been busy checking and treating standing water areas in and around Sunriver. “We focus on controlling mosquitos in the larval stage with a biological control agent before they take flight,” said Chad Subblefield, manager of FRVCD. The control district covers approximately 20 square miles – stretching from Benham Falls to La Pine State Park. Mosquitos are a fact of life when living near waterways and wetlands, and there is no way to make any community completely mosquito free. Control measures help keep numbers down, but mosquitos only need a thimble of water to reproduce and there is plenty of prime habitat in and around the Sunriver area. Each year the Sunriver Owners Association contracts with FRVCD to regularly come through Sunriver to fog and/or apply larvacide to kill larvae and adult-flying mosquitos. There is also spraying done in adjacent communities and nearby forest service lands to reduce the number of mosquitos coming into the community. “Last year’s higher water levels hatched out a lot of dormant eggs,” said Stubblefield. “We fogged four times as many times last year than we did the previous year.” Stubblefield predicts that this year’s lack of local snowmelt should result in a little less work this season for FRVCD. Fogging is conducted and only effective on calm evenings between dusk and dawn when the temperature will remain around 55 degrees. Fog runs kill flying adult mosquitoes and help intercept insects flying in from surrounding forest lands. Fogging is not done during the day to avoid impacting beneficial insects such as bees. FRVCD is now running electric T M, SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN. VOLUME XLIV • NUMBER 6 P.O. BOX 3278 SUNRIVER, OR 97707

Sunriver celebrates 38 years as Tree City SROA NEWS – For the 38th consecutive year Sunriver has been awarded the Tree City USA designation by the American Arbor Day Foundation. This award is to honor the recipient for its dedication to urban forestry. Of the 61 (2017) communities in Oregon to receive this award Sunriver is the only unincorporated community included due to Sunriver’s very early involvement before unincorporated communities became ineligible for the award. Only Portland, Salem and Eugene have received this award for a
longer period than Sunriver – and then only by a few years. The award criteria – as set by the Arbor Day Foundation – includes spending a certain minimum dollar amount per capita on community forestry activities, having ordinances (governing documents) that include who is responsible for tree and forest care, proclaiming an Arbor Day each year and maintaining a tree board or department. Tree City USA is only one of a number of organizations that recognize Sunriver (SROA) as a leader in natural resources
management. For example, SROA is recognized by the National Fire Protection Association as a designated Firewise Community. SROA, under the direction of Patti T T C, PRSRT STD. U.S. POSTAGE PAID BEND, OR PERMIT NO. 213

management particularly with regard to wildfire, forest health and creating a fire adapted community. Contracts were recently let to perform ladder fuel and other forest health activities on at least 112 acres of commons in Sunriver this year. These contractors, under the direction of SROA, will perform tree and brush trimming and removal to reduce the risk of fire and to improve overall forest health and safety. These activities will also generate large quantities of firewood available in “bucked up” form at no charge to SROA owners.

Trees: Sunriver’s Community Treasure What is it that makes Sunriver so special and so distinctive? When I first visited Sunriver in 1996, I couldn’t quite put my finger on what immediately drew me to this magical place. Now that I’ve owned a home in Sunriver for 14 years, I realize that the feature that sets Sunriver apart is Pat Hensley our forest environment. Trees are all around us -- in the Deschutes National Forests adjoining Sunriver to the north, east and west and in the forested areas spread throughout our community. As we celebrate 50 years of Sunriver in 2018, it’s a good time to take a look back at the principles that guided the founders of this community. One of those principles was building a community that co-exists with nature and whose structures and landscaping are in harmony with our natural surroundings. Reflecting this vision, Sunriver’s founders emphasized the importance to Sunriver of the forest and other elements of the natural environment such as clear night skies, clean air and the presence of wildlife. Equally important was recognition of the threat of wildfire to a community like Sunriver located in the midst of forestland. An early report known as the Royston Report recommended instituting a forestry program to include “diversity planting of native species, disease control, fire control, wildlife forage and shelter.” The Royston Report also recommended that structures “should appear to have been sited in the forest and should blend with the surrounding landscape.” This principle of co-existing with nature is repeated in our current governing documents. For example, regarding homes and other structures, SROA’s Design Manual provides: “All architectural elements shall be subordinate to the forest, blend with the natural landscape, and maintain the integrity of the forest environment and open spaces.”
SROA has followed that philosophy by enacting and enforcing specific provisions in Sunriver Rules & Regulations and our Design Manual. Just a few examples are limits on removing trees and shrubs without SROA approval, bans on feeding wildlife (except birds), and requirements that every property owner manage ladder fuels and noxious weeds on their private properties. As recommended in the Royston Report, SROA has developed a robust forestry program. Cornerstones of this program are the association’s Ladder Fuels Reduction Plan and Noxious Weed Management Plan. Led by our Natural Resources Department, SROA works closely with a wide variety of federal, state, and local agencies (including the Sunriver Fire Department); national and international non-governmental organizations; and a stable of certified arborists. There are a number of reasons why our Natural Resources Department does this, many of which (such as identifying grant opportunities and keeping up to date on the latest in the science of forest health and wildfire protection) are plainly obvious. But this kind of engagement also affords our association the opportunity to coordinate critical forest management work on lands immediately adjacent to our community. Forest fires do not abide by mapped boundaries, so working to treat areas outside of our community is an essential element towards Sunriver’s fire protection planning. Recognition of Sunriver’s Leadership in Forest Health and Wildfire Preparedness When it comes to forest health and wildfire preparedness, SROA doesn’t just talk the talk, but we “walk the walk.” Because of our efforts at walking the walk, SROA is widely recognized as a leader in promoting forest health and reducing the risk of wildfire. Most recently, Sunriver has been awarded -- for the 38th consecutive year -- the Tree City USA designation by the American Arbor Day Foundation. This award honors the recipient for its dedication to urban forestry. Of the 61 communities in Oregon to receive this award for 2017,
Sunriver is the only unincorporated community. This special status reflects Sunriver’s early involvement before unincorporated communities became ineligible for the award. In fact, in Oregon, only Portland, Salem and Eugene have received this award longer than Sunriver. The award criteria set by the Arbor Day Foundation include spending a certain minimum dollar amount per capita on community forestry activities, having governing documents that include who is responsible for tree and forest care, proclaiming an Arbor Day each year, and maintaining a tree board or department. SROA meets these criteria – and then some. In fact, SROA far exceeds the Tree City dollar commitment; over the past decade, SROA has spent approximately $3 million on ladder fuels reduction and related forest health activities. This includes the association’s annual promotion of Arbor Day, whereby SROA purchases approximately 1,500 ponderosa pine seedlings, prepares them for planting and then makes the seedlings available to all owners for planting on the special day. The Arbor Day Foundation is just one of a number of organizations that have recognized SROA as a leader in natural resources management. For example, SROA has been recognized by the National Fire Protection Association as a designated FIREWISE community since 2012. The Firewise program is an awareness and educational tool that encourages property owners to take certain measures to protect their property from fire. Of particular significance to SROA’s wildfire preparedness is the association’s collaboration with Project Wildfire. This organization, dedicated specifically to Deschutes County, works to educate property owners and assist communities in organizing their efforts toward effective fire planning and mitigation. It also serves as the caretaker to seven Community Wildfire Protection Plans within the county, one of which centers on Sunriver. Since joining Project Wildfire, SROA has received three recognition awards from the organizaT M,

SR Nature Center & Observatory observes 50th anniversary By Wes Perrin The year was 1968. Gas was 34 cents per gallon, $2,450 was the average price of a new car and vacation lodging cost about $18 per night. Construction was beginning on a most unusual new community named Sunriver, one that was being developed on the assumption that what was good for the river, the owls, the deer and the trees was also good for people. And a brand-new nature center, labeled an “Ecologium,” was opened for the first time. Fast forward to 2018, and
Heart
the “center,” whose name has evolved to become Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory (SNCO), finds itself celebrating 50 years of successful operation. The anniversary will be highlighted at a special open house, with free admission to both the nature center and the observatory, on June 9, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “There’ll be raptor presentations, rocket launches, guided trail walks, solar viewing, a native plant sale and lots more fun for all the family,” according to SNCO managers Amanda Accamando and Bob Grossfeld.

Looking back, Sunriver was extremely fortunate that its leading developer, Oregon businessman John Gray, had a vision of a community that would embrace environmental stewardship along with design excellence. His wife, Betty, and their children also were a major influence in planning this community whose residents would respect the core principles of the founders and live in harmony with the natural world. Their philosophy was bolstered by the hiring of eminent landscape architect Bob Royston, who later said his “most rewarding career experience was designing the master plan for Sunriver, the first new town planned entirely around nature, rather than the automobile.” Royston and the Grays all thought the new community should have a center for environmental education, and John Gray felt that he had met the right person, Jim Anderson, to manage it.
Anderson’s first contact with Gray was classically serendipitous. Well before the launch of Sunriver, they happened to bump into each other on the beach near Salishan, Gray’s award-winning coastal development. Even though Anderson voiced some criticism about the dangers of erosion, Gray was impressed enough to remember their conversation. For their second meeting, Anderson was pleased to get an appointment so quickly, but disappointed to find out Gray was expecting Jim Anderson who happened to be president of First National Bank of Oregon. Fortunately, the meeting turned into a lively discussion of how a developer could preserve environmental values. Not long afterward, Anderson received an invitation to become Sunriver’s first “resident naturalist” and to be in charge of the Ecologium, a title coined by Royston. When the community first
began to function in 1968, Anderson soon was offering nature programs, wildlife tours, environmental education, specialized research and wild bird rehabilitation – efforts that continue in expanded form today. In 1973, Jay Bowerman stepped in to fill Anderson’s shoes as resident naturalist. The two had worked together briefly in previous years, focusing on nature tours and winter sports – especially cross-county skiing. At the time the sport was far less popular than today, and Bowerman had unusual qualifications with his Olympic biathlon experience. Bowerman introduced Anderson to John Marshall, “a young man of exceptional outdoor experience,” who spent the winter leading ski tours and laying out the XC ski trails between Sunriver and Mt. Bachelor. This proved to be a significant collaboration as it was Marshall who heard of Anderson’s departure and contacted Bowerman, who was T A,

Rowland joins SNCO as the philanthropy director
Second Tern celebrates 30th anniversary By Wes Perrin Anyone who has recently shopped at the Second Tern Thrift store might understandably think it has always been filled with crowds of customers and overflowing with quality merchandise. But, 30 years ago, it was little more than a bright idea from two dedicated supporters of the Sunriver Nature Center. Jay Bowerman was the resident naturalist at the time, and after taking the job in 1973, he, along with his wife Teresa, spent many hours dreaming up fundraising ideas for the nature center. They created an International Food Fair, held in the Great Hall, and for several years helped conduct rummage sales in conjunction with Sunriver Prep School. “But we began to realize we were spending a lot of time preparing for the sale, and when it was over, we were left with as many goods as we had sold,” said Bowerman, who still volunteers regularly at the Tern. “Then SR Prep decided it really didn’t want to continue with us on the rummage sale. While we were pondering what to do, an assistant manager at the Lodge told us about the success of a thrift store in Sun Valley, Idaho, and we wondered if that might work here.” “So, we found 200 square feet of space with a roll up door in one of the Sunriver Business Park buildings and opened for business in 1998. Teresa and I were the proprietors, and our hours were 10 to 12 on Saturdays. The space was totally out of sight, but gradually word got out, and business picked up. Jean Crowell, a member of the board, joined us as the first of the many volunteers who have made the difference over the years.” When asked how the name was chosen, the Bowermans recall first thinking of “Second Turn” because the store would offer merchandise that would be turned around for a second use. But then they remembered the nature center’s involvement with bird rehabilitation, and that a local water bird’s name was tern. "So, it all came together,” said Jay Bowerman. “It was a bit of a pun, but still original and appropriate.” The newly-named Second Tern moved two more times in the business park as sales and donations continued to swell. For about six months it was relocated upstairs in the same building (“oh, that was fun hauling furniture up the stairs,” said Bowerman), and then it occupied space at the opposite

end of the complex – behind a sports bar. As growth continued, the Tern decided to venture out to Spring River Road to a building now housing the Summit Express and Base Camp Grill. The bottom half of the structure was the thrift store, while the top half was used by the owner, Jim Montgomery, for his real estate business. By the late 1990s it became clear that the Tern really needed a home of its own and landlord Montgomery happened to own the adjacent property. He was willing to sell at fair price, and that became the site for the current Tern building. Using volunteer labor and donations to supplement the work of professional crews from Charles Beith (concrete) and Sun Forest Construction, the structure was built economically of foam block filled with concrete. In recent years, sales have spiraled upward dramatically, and they continue to provide significant dollars in support

for the successful operation of the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory. “We sincerely believe we have evolved into the best little thrift store in Oregon,” declared Tern Manager Colly Rosenberg. “In observing our 30th anniversary we’ve reached another level of quality, not just in merchandise, but in qualify of volunteers. One of our customers from Salem summed it up best when she told me, ‘Everyone is so helpful here, and there is just the coolest stuff. I can hardly wait to show my neighbors what I found… and we’ll be back!’ ” Bowerman agreed that wonderful volunteers and great merchandise have been key reasons for the Tern’s success, “but it doesn’t hurt that we had some luck along the way,” he said. Summer hours for the Tern are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. For more information, call 541-593-3367 or visit, www.secondternthrift store.com

one-of-a-kind masterpiece. “I like thinking outside the normal box of stained glass,” said Henson. “I recently purchased some multi-faceted glass gems and used them to create my ‘Kaleidoscope Sunflower.’ The small pieces of gold, blue and green glass were recovered from an old damaged lamp.” Artist Mary Wonser is getting back to her original weaving roots with wall hangings, rugs and table runners. Using wool rug yarn from Arroyo Seco, New Mexico that she hand-dyes, Wonser likes to embellish some hangings with old coins, beads, feathers and other found objects. The embellishments or textured yarns are often the first impetus in planning a weaving. “I’ve created a black wall weaving with pottery embellishments as a collaboration with Dori Kite, a ceramic artist in the gallery. “ Artist Joanne Simmons Walch uses historical works as the inspiration for her stencil work. “My art comes from an appreciation of the beauty

in historic designs, and a love of creative embroidery that I learned at a young age,” said Walch. “I locate and research original stencil designs that were used a century ago to grace the walls of family homes. My stencil designs date from the 1890s to the early 1920s.” Walch recreates these stencils and uses them with high-quality fabrics (linen, silk, suiting fabrics) and historic palettes to make textiles that can be used and displayed in today’s homes. The gallery has a wonderful selection of pillows, tea towels and framed stencils with embroidery detail. Walch is also offering fabric stenciling classes this summer. Watercolor artist Deni Porter creates paintings that are alive with color and emotion. Her subjects range from whimsical animals and beautiful outdoor scenes of Sunriver to the streets of Bend. Porter can be found frequently at work painting in the gallery, explaining tech-
niques and methods to anyone who is interested. Porter also is happy to commission realistic portraits of pets and children. Pricing is reasonable, and the result is a family heirloom to cherish for years to come. All Porter needs is a few photos to work from. Sometimes an original painting of a beloved pet can induce a smile every time that you catch a glimpse. Artists’ Gallery is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver.

Anglers Club speaker to discuss tips for catching ‘Cranebows’ By Greg Cotton Fishing on Crane Prairie Reservoir will be the subject of the Sunriver Anglers Club monthly meeting on June 21 at 7 p.m. at SHARC. Everyone is welcome to attend. Fred Foisett, co-owner of the The Hook Fly Shop will be our speaker. Foisett has been guiding in Central Oregon for 29 years and has spent hundreds of days on Crane Prairie with customers. To many this reservoir is an ever-changing mystery. Foisett will help us all unravel some of these secrets and will give us some great techniques to target the famous “Cranebows” that reside in the reservoir. There are many multiple pound rainbow trout cruising in these waters. This nationally-known fishing destination is only 20 to 30 miles away from Sunriver, depending on which of the half a dozen boat ramps that you choose to launch from. There are three U.S. Forest Service campgrounds where you can dry camp, or if you need full hookups for your RV, you can stay at the Crane Prairie Resort. Cabins are also available at the resort.

coming together to strategize about how to start a public library in their community were Monet Beith, Bill McCann, Nancy Ruel and Shirley Walton. Also among the enthusiastic group was George Riser, who became known as the “father” of the Sunriver library (Riser passed away in 2011) and Barbara Wade, who became known as the library’s “mother.” Wade was honored during a May 2 celebration of Friends of the Sunriver Library and community members.

widening group of energetic, dedicated volunteers accomplished over the next three years. Highlights included a phone survey of registered voters in three voting precincts to determine interest in funding a new Sunriver Area Public Library, site selection options, and key library services. The positive survey results created momentum and a year later, the first meeting of the newly formed Friends of the Sunriver Library attracted 59 people who wanted to help with tasks ahead. Those tasks were huge, including organizing a compelling campaign to pass the bond measure which would provide library funding. Only a few months later, in September 1996, the ballot measure was approved by 66 percent (that bond was paid off and retired in 2016). Another complex undertaking was deciding on the design of what would become the new 6,800 square foot library building. Board members including, “Mother Wade,” researched current libraries in the Western states, in-
terviewed architects, met with local officials, calculated costs, among other responsibilities. Riser took on the pivotal role of “project manager” and Gentry Wade was the “construction manager.” The new library was finished and dedicated in April 1998. Aside from the bond measure for the building, the new Friends group eventually raised $80,000 to furnish the library and supply a collection of new resources. The new library became a branch of what was then the Deschutes County Library system. However, soon after, the county commissioners withdrew funding from the entire library system. The new Bend library had not yet opened when that potentially devastating decision was made. Undaunted, the Sunriver Friends and volunteers from the four other branches, led by a newly hired director, were up to the challenge. Their efforts formed a district-wide political action committee with Elizabeth Stearns as the Sunriver area’s representative. They successfully campaigned to create a “special service district” which continues today. The library system is funded through a small assessment on all homeowners’ property taxes and operates as the Deschutes Public Library. Incoming Friends board president Kody Osborne designed the new logo for Friends of the Sunriver Library, which was featured on the souvenir cups given guests during the celebration. For more information on becoming a Friend of the Sunriver Library, contact Osborne at friends.sunriver library@gmail.com. “We are eager for new members and planning another decade of significant service to our community,” said Osborne.
‘Squared’ art exhibit opens at the Lodge By Billye Turner Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents paintings by Marjorie Wood Hamlin in the lower gallery. Joining and continuing through Labor Day, the upper gallery features the “12x12 Squared” exhibit of small works in addition to paintings by JM Brodrick and Kelly Thiel and photography by Charlie Thiel. Marjorie Wood Hamlin’s paintings appear in the lower gallery. Recognized as an international artist, she studied art from her teens, earning a degree in applied art and art history. The artist’s distinguished exhibitions beyond the U.S. include the Florence, Italy Contemporary Biennale and in Granada and Almeria, Spain. The artist exhibits a unique style both in technique and in image. Using copper and gold foil enhanced with 23K gold leaf on non-adhesive surfaces, she interprets images derived from the earth. The artist has begun the patent process for this technique, one of her invention. Wood Hamlin also exhibits fictitious landscapes of rich colors that arise purely from her imagination. Popular for its uniqueness and adaptability in multiple settings, the artist’s work enhances homes and offices from Hawaii to Maryland as well as Portland and throughout Central Oregon. The Lodge upper gallery summer exhibit introduces a new concept for the local art community. Springing from the extensive creative ability of Bend artist JM Brodrick, the “Squared” exhibit presents the official launch of a community T L A ,

The American pika is often described as an alpine species which may be in danger of extinction given contemporary climate change patterns. However, recent studies documenting pika persistence in low-elevation lava landscapes provide an interesting contrast to conventional wisdom. Join the Sunriver Nature Center on June 28 as Dr. Matt Shinderman, director of the Human and Ecosystem Resilience and Sustainability Lab at OSU-Cascades, tells the tale of these alpine and low elevation pika and how the lava land-
scapes of the Pacific Northwest may be integral to their survival in the face of anticipated warming. The lecture is held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Registration is required. Nature center member admission is $8; $10 for general public. This lecture is free for SROA members (members need a discount code before registering and need to call (541)593-4394.

hundreds of miles for a fishing vacation this summer – make it a staycation at Crane Prairie Reservoir as it can take several days to conquer this spot. The dam that formed Crane Prairie Reservoir was built in 1922 and created a shallow irregular shaped reservoir about four to five miles long by two to three miles wide. The deepest spot in Crane Prairie is only 20 feet and the average depth is only 10 to 15 feet depending on time in the irrigation season. The reservoir was and is filled by three main sources: the Deschutes, Quinn and Cultus rivers. The former river beds of these rivers that once wandered through the prairie still exist on the bottom of the reservoir. Here is where some of
the mysteries of Crane Prairie Reservoir lie. Fish use these river beds as freeways, moving throughout the reservoir. The water is deeper and often cooler in these channels than the rest of the lake. Many of the trees that existed in the prairie before the dam was created still rise out of the shallow water forming stands of dead trees. River channels and dead tree snags create landmarks – hopefully marking your favorite fishing spots. Unfortunately, snags rot and disappear, water levels rise and fall, and sometimes conditions make it hard to find the underground waterways. Water temperatures also vary throughout the season. All these factors create the mysteries that challenge the anglers in finding the trophy fish that make Crane Prairie famous.

Individual owners should take pride in what we have been able to accomplish and should take a bow for the accolades that we all as an association have received. The Work Continues It’s terrific that SROA has been recognized for our efforts to promote forest health and minimize risk, but we can’t rest on our laurels. After all, trees and shrubs do grow and there’s no silver bullet that will guarantee that wildfire won’t threaten Sunriver. And just as we jointly share in the successes that have been achieved, we must jointly continue our hard work towards reducing our risks - Sunriver is simply too special a place not to do so.

in McCall, Idaho, at the time, coaching the Junior National XC ski team, suggesting Bowerman apply for the opening. Bowerman took the job, and spent more than 40 years directing the growth of the organization, pausing only briefly to become the Lodge’s Director of Recreation. Ultimately, he stepped aside from day-to dayoperations to concentrate on scientific research. His studies have contributed to a number of discoveries important to understanding the basic biology of the endangered Oregon spotted frog. When he retired in 2017,
he held the job title of “principal researcher.” Under his leadership, major advances were made in facilities. The nature center’s first dwelling was in a corner of the “Abbot Building” now occupied by the South Bend Bistro Restaurant. Next was a move to the small building presently housing Sunriver Resort’s Human Resources Department. By 1981, it was clear that a larger building was badly needed, and when eight acres of land and $20,000 in seed money were donated by Sunriver Properties, work was begun in earnest to plan and build a new home. “It took a year,” recalls Bowerman, “but with the accumulation of many small and medium size dona-

tions, a series of fund raisers and a lot of volunteer help, we accomplished the task. Board member George Mendenhall extended a personal loan when we found ourselves a bit short in the final days of completion, but we were able to pay off the loan in the next year.” In 1992, a substantial contribution by Trudi Pozzi paved the way for construction of the adjacent Pozzi Building which provided space for meetings, offices and educational programs. Creativity played a key role in fundraising during those formative years. Bowman’s wife, Teresa, led the way with a variety of foodrelated fund raisers, including “International Food Fairs” featuring a veritable United Nations of culinary delights. The delectable offerings were prepared by both community volunteers and local eateries such as Marcello’s Italian, and Toomie’s Thai restaurants.

ence,” said Bowerman. “One of the most memorable was Dave Danley who first visited us when he was still in high school and interested in collecting and pressing wildflowers. We gave him a half-time botany position that summer.” Danley returned after college to assume the post of resident naturalist and subsequently nature center manager. During his tenure at the nature center he discovered and described a new wildflower species – a penstemon endemic to the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. With the founding of the Second Tern Thrift Store in 1988, a significant source of annual income was established, and the continued prosperity of that operation has proven to be enormously helpful to SNCO. In addition to natural sciences, astronomy has long been an important educational offering for the organization. Viewing the sky in Sunriver dates back to the late 1960s when Anderson was resident naturalist. The earliest efforts involved a telescope hand-built by high school student Mark Miller. It was positioned at the highest point of Ft. Rock Park where for a time a tiny “observatory” structure was in place. Amateur astronomers Harold Dedlow, Larry Platt and Richard Norton were key figures in pioneering the progress of the observatory, and their story, along with the tale of the acquisition of the original 12-inch Osborn Telescope, are worthy of a longer article for a future edition of the Scene. As years rolled by, more programs taking advantage of Sunriver’s dazzling night sky were developed to showcase the wonders of space. (And, for the first time “& Observatory” was added to the Sunriver Nature Center logo.) Utilizing community support and the help of dedicated volunteers, funds were secured to permit construction of the observatory building in 1990. Robert Glass Starport was added in 1999 to the observatory dome which made space for seven donated telescopes. In 2013/14, thanks T A,

Anniversary
to a generous donation, the Karen Clarke Star Deck and Corral was opened, housing the newly donated 20 and 30-inch telescopes. Beginning with Mark Miller’s hand-crafted model, and other small telescopes set up in the parking lot, the non-profit, educational Oregon Observatory has grown to provide the largest number of telescopes for public viewing in the United States. Bob Grossfeld joined the observatory crew in a1990 as a volunteer and rose in the ranks to become manager in 1999. Under his leadership, the observatory gained status as a NASA affiliate and began attracting so many visitors to summer nighttime viewing that the parking lot was filled to overflowing. He attributes the Observatory’s success to the dedication of its many supporters, coupled with the commitment of many of the long-term volunteers and employees such as Don Barnes and Jerry Niehauser. Barnes
helped with the 1990 building construction, started volunteering the first night it opened and is still volunteering today. Niehauser is the longest serving employee who started with a few small telescopes outside the nature center in the mid 1980s. With the passage of 50 years, SNCO has evolved to attract more than 45,000 visitors annually, host some 20,000 viewers to observatory programs, and reach upward of 4,000 area students with educational programs. Nationally, SNCO stands alone, the only community-based organization with a professionally staffed nature center and observatory in the United States. And the future looks bright. In the words of current board president Dave Buhaly, “Today the entire organization is primed to face the next 50 years with energy and enthusiasm.” His words are echoed in tone by Abby Rowland, the organizations new director of philanthropy: “We definitely are in for exciting times ahead.”

Sunriver STARS Community Theater completes successful season
New shop features beads, jewelry and signs Houser House Creations opened in the Sunriver Business Park and offers handmade wooden signs and jewelry, as well as a bead store for those who make their own jewelry. Owned by husband and wife team of Chris and Vivian Houser, the couple reside just outside of Sunriver in Deschutes River Recreation Homesites. The sign portion of the business is operated under the design skills of Chris, who creates numerous ready-made signs or you can ask him to design a custom creation. Styles include indoor/ outdoor signage, address and name signs for homes or businesses, personalized wedding, birth and anniversary signs and plaques, beer signs, growler carriers and rustic cabin décor that celebrates any of Central Oregon’s lifestyles. The second half of the business is under Vivian’s wings. A glass artist specializing in
“hand-blown” lampwork beads, Vivian designs jewelry and offers a variety of ready-made jewelry or she can create your own custom-made piece. “We started our family business many years ago as my wife’s jewelry hobby,” said Chris Houser. “After a few years of selling on Etsy, (Vivian) found that she was making more money than she was working in the medical field – so she quit her job.” The store boasts the largest selection of American-made metal beads and findings in Central Oregon, as well artist-created clay pieces, glass and stone beads from around the world. Houser House Creations is located at 56815 Venture Lane #708 in the Sunriver Business Park. Store hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. You can check them out online at www.hhcre8.com or call 541647-4158 for more information.
By Fred Sackett The 2017-18 Sunriver Stars Community Theater (SSCT) season has completed with four performances. SSCT’s first presentation was “The Secret Garden” directed by Victoria Kristy, followed by “A Christmas Wish” directed by Susan Evans Inman. In the winter, Gail Gibson directed “Seniors of the Sahara,” with Bill Walton’s “Hang on the Bell, Nellie” completing the season in May. We are so very grateful for our directors, and of course all the actors and support staff doing whatever is necessary for the set, stage, tickets, concessions and the SSCT board, which oversees the operation of the theater. We are pleased to announce we have added two new members to our board. Eileen Katz is our new treasurer. Katz has lived in Central Oregon many years and she replaces Joan Lewis who served as treasurer and director of technology for several years and is now taking on other responsibilities on the board. Tom Hansen is our newly appointed director of technology. He brings years of expertise to this position especially with regards to lighting . The board is finalizing plans for some capital expenditures for lighting and sound as advised by the technology team. As we look to the future, we will soon finalize and publicize our 2018-19 season in the Scene and elsewhere. In the meantime, our present challenges revolve around personnel to help us
make SSCT better known in the community, and how to receive available grant dollars and sponsorships to assist with operational costs. As you may know all of our theater board, actors and support staff are volunteers, but we have ongoing expenses for which we must obtain monetary gifts or gifts in kind. With this in mind we invite anyone who is interested in theater, and has the appropriate skill-set, and/ or specific talents to contact our board president Sharon Sackett at 541-593-4489 or slms@bendbroadband.com. We are specifically looking for a director of marketing who can give SSCT a presence in the community that when people see the logo, or someone speaks of the STARS, others
will say “oh yes, I know about that theater.” This marketing person would also have freedom to secure sponsorships and/or program ads from local businesses for each play. Second, we need a director of productions. This individual has not only a love for theater, but a love for detail and organization in order to assist the director with the many tasks that must be completed for the show to proceed smoothly. Third, we would desire to have a director of development who would seek out and write grants which become available throughout the year, administer the annual donor letter, and suggest and organize any fundraisers. All three of these positions are SSCT Board positions and, besides the responsibilities listed, would require a monthly board meeting. We encourage anyone with a special love for theater to give these consideration and contact Sackett for more information.

Expat picnic set for July 4 Central Oregon, and especially Sunriver, is not only home to people from all over the United States but also to many who live, or have lived, in countries around the world. Expats or emigrants to the U.S. living in the Sunriver area are people who have found something special here and
bring their unique multicultural knowledge and perspectives with them. Once a year, we have a chance to gather and share our appreciation for our experiences abroad and in the U.S. in the annual international picnic at Mary McCallum owners park on the Fourth of July. Starting at 12 p.m. and run-
ning until 4 p.m., any and all folks who have lived abroad, or would like to meet those who have, are encouraged to join the gathering at picnic sites 1 and 2 at the park west of the SROA boat launch on the Deschutes River to enjoy the setting and each other’s company. Just look for the international flags strung out in the trees. Participants are asked to bring their own table service, drinks and main course (there are no grills available) and a dish (side dish, salad or dessert) to share. There are a few picnic tables on which we can set things out and many people bring their own folding chairs for gathering in small groups to chat and get to know each other. No charge is involved and no RSVP is necessary. Participants from Sunriver, Bend and the surrounding areas are welcome as are their friends and visitors. Some folks have been participating in this function for years and newcomers are always welcome. The expat picnic provides a chance to catch up with others who share an international perspective while celebrating our Independence Day by the Deschutes River in beautiful Sunriver.

“We decided as a group to get behind Women Build Day,” said Powell and Diven. “As Sunriver Realty specializes in residential real estate, the effort has personal meaning for us.” “Decent, affordable housing is not a feminist issue, but rather a quality of life and basic human dignity issue facing families everywhere,” said Dwane Krumme, executive director of the local Habitat chapter. “We’re very grateful to all the volunteers who came out for a Saturday of camaraderie and accomplishment. They are addressing in a concrete way the housing crisis facing millions of women and children across the globe.” In the past decade alone,the Habitat for Humanity Women Build program has brought together more than 117,000 female construction volunteers to build or repair homes with nearly 5,000 families. The 2018 effort involved 300 communities across the United States.

TENNIS CORNER The serve: The most important shot in your toolbox By Peter MacDonald, Sunriver Tennis Pro Close to 30 percent of your points will end after you’ve delivered your serve. This could be in the form of an ace, or missed return. Thirty percent is a big number when you consider that the average point will last for about four shots in singles and in doubles. The serve is often an afterthought for most players. I want to talk about how you should practice your serve and implement it in your match play. Whenever you practice your first serve it’s good to use targets. Set up a wide body and a T target on both the deuce and the add side. You can use any item as a target like an empty can of balls, the lid to the ball can, or even a pinecone. Make sure you have a hopper or bucket of balls to work with. I like to pick a target and hit serves at it until I hit my target. Your challenge is to see how many targets you can hit. Spend about 15 minutes on this drill anytime you play tennis. I’ve found the best way to work on the second serve is to split a service box in half into two zones. Pick a zone and hit second serves to it. If you can make nine out of 10 second serves in the zone consistently, then you should feel more confident about your second serve. If not, then keep practicing. Make sure you are practicing the second serve you want for your match. Also, use good net clearance to eliminate errors in the net. If you get really good at this game, then break the service box into thirds so your zones are smaller. My recommendation during match play is to go to the body on your first serve in the beginning of matches. The idea here is to go after your first serve, but give yourself margin for error. Unless you are a robot, you’re also dealing with nerves in the beginning of a match. You will win more points off your first serve than your second serve so it’s important that your first serve percentage is 60 to 70 percent. If your percentage is higher than 70 percent, then you’re either having a great service day or you need to go after your serve more. As your match progresses mix up your targets on your first serve. When you’re hitting second serves during match play, it’s important to hit the serve you can at that moment. If you’re feeling confident, then pick your zone. If you’re not feeling confident, then aim for the middle of the service box. Make sure you have good net clearance on your second serve. Missing in the net is unacceptable, and is one of the first things you need to minimize in all aspects of your game. It’s important to start the point. I hope this article gives you some good guidelines on how to practice and implement your serve in match play. These are basic drills, but are fundamental to your overall development as a tennis player. For more information about tennis clinics and programs in Sunriver, visit www.sun rivertennis.com

Protecting our business community By Jim Bennett Nearly 12 years ago, in the early morning hours of Sept. 2, 2006 sirens were sounding in Sunriver. It sounded as if they were coming from all directions, but they were headed to only one location – the Village. Fire had erupted around 4 a.m. in a two-story building containing a Subway sandwich shop and offices of the Sunriver Music Festival. Firefighters from Sunriver Fire and Rescue were first on scene with mutual aid assistance coming from the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District and the City of Bend Fire Department. The fire was beyond being stopped and the building was reduced to charred remains despite the great efforts of firefighters to knock down the raging inferno. Fortunately, the fire was contained mostly to the one building and while it was a total loss, it could have been much worse had it been occupied or spread to nearby buildings in the Village. Nationwide and locally, commercial building fires are at a fraction of what they use to be. There are many factors for this decrease – from better fire suppression systems and alarm systems to structural design changes that help to limit the spread of fire, contain it SUNRIVER SCENE • JUNE 2018
and, hopefully, prevent it. However, even with the most ardent structural design features, many times small, unintentional acts can cause a fire to erupt. From a frayed electrical cord, to a floor heater placed too close to combustibles or an overheated electronics motor, there are still many opportunities for fires to get their start. In Sunriver, we coordinate

tioning properly. Our firefighters also conduct pre-plans of our business community. This is where we visit a business and imagine the “what-ifs.” If a fire were to develop, how would we gain access, from what direction,
what fire hydrant would we use, does the business contain highly flammable chemicals, is there a sprinkler system? Answering these questions before a fire occurs greatly aids firefighters when responding. We value our relationship with our business community and want to continue to be a partner with them in identifying ways to reduce the potential for fire, enhancing life safety in their buildings and preparing for disasters that may occur. If you have any thoughts, concerns or questions on fire safety in your business or our community, let us know.

Personal safety tips Theft Prevention Tips Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. It can occur when a criminal steals personal identifying information such as name, birth date, Social Security number or your mother’s maiden name and uses it for his or her own gain. These thefts can occur through lost or stolen credit or debit cards, non-secure online transactions, personal information recovered from your garbage, and most frequently, stolen mail from your mailbox. Basic Safety Tips • Don’t carry important numbers or passwords with you. • Memorize your Social Security number. • Don’t use your date of birth as your password. • Never leave receipts behind. Credit/Debit Cards • Sign your new credit cards immediately. • Report lost or stolen cards immediately. Make sure you keep the numbers of the issuers somewhere besides on the back of your card. • Always check your monthly financial statements carefully against your receipts. • Review your consumer credit report annually. Mail • Don’t leave mail in your mailbox for more than a day. If you are gone, arrange to have a trusted neighbor or friend pick up your mail. • Double check that mailboxes are official U.S. Postal Service collection boxes before you deposit your mail. • Shred or tear up all unnecessary documents that have your personal information on them. Online • Never put in a credit or debit card number through a website unless it offers a secure transaction. • A secure transaction will have a “padlock” icon at the bottom strip of the web page. Also, the URL address will change from “http” to “https” on the page where you input personal data. What can you do if you become a victim? As soon as you discover your identity is being used, you can begin to fight back to lessen the damage the criminal can do. This is why checking your financial statements frequently T S,

gon Trail, Mormon troubles, slavery – you name it, and he was there. He served in the Oregon government and judiciary, and was the first governor of California. If momentous events were taking place, Peter Burnett was generally involved, yet today how many people know his name? Nokes rectifies history’s oversight with this informative and fascinating biography. Burnett grew up poor, his parents, George and Dorothy, had 8 children. Dorothy’s family, the Hardemans, had money. George Burnett did not. Seeing the wealth and ease of his relatives lit in Peter a desire for riches. Unfortunately, he took after his dad in business acumen; financial security eluded him until later in life. Peter Burnett had the attributes that would seem to destine him for success. He was a gifted speaker, could rouse people’s passions, and he had physical presence, tall and well put together. His charisma may have gained him positions to make his mark on the world, but then his shortcomings would ruin the chance. Burnett was not open to other opinions, had a bit of a “my way or the highway” kind of attitude. So, while people might pick him as a leader, they chaffed under his rule and soon things would go awry. Nonetheless it was an eventful life with an impact on the decisions and choices that shaped the west. Eventually Burnett was able to enjoy the kind of success that had eluded him in his youth. Nokes knows how to document a story. He was a reporter for the Associated Press and The Oregonian. “Massacred for Gold” exposed the massacre of Chinese miners in Hell’s Canyon and led to the creation of a monument. “Breaking Chains” documents the groundbreaking case, Holmes vs Ford, tried in an Oregon court where a freed black slave sued his former master for the return of his children.

Book Club selections focus on Oregon settings By Deon Stonehouse As a lead-up to the 4th of July, every June is themed on a region, state or city in the USA. This June is a Month of Oregon. Book Clubs meet at 6 p.m. on Mondays. Club events are free and everyone is welcome. • On June 4, New York Times Bestselling author, Phillip Margolin, will lead the Mystery Book Club’s discussion of “Woman With A Gun.” An arresting photograph of a woman in a white wedding dress on a moonlit night at the edge of the sea holding a gun inspired Margolin to write this page-turning mystery. It is a compelling picture. As Margolin says: “It does make you wonder what a woman would be doing at the water’s edge in a
wedding gown with a weapon.” He has a bit of fun with making one of his characters an aspiring young writer, Stacey Kim, who sees this picture in a museum and is inspired to write a mystery. Her sleuthing takes her back a decade to the Oregon Coast where the photographer, Kathy Moran, was getting her life back together after beating a drug habit that cost her a career as a Portland attorney. It turns out the wedding night picture was taken shortly after the wealthy groom was murdered. With juicy details like this, Stacey is off and running. She quickly sheds her day job as a receptionist at a New York law firm and heads west to Portland, then to the Oregon Coast. The murder of the wealthy groom
has never been solved; suspicion still falls on his gorgeous bride found in the aforementioned gown, toting a gun. As Stacey starts probing and asking questions around the small coastal town, it raises the hackles of a killer that might best be left undisturbed. More bodies follow and soon Stacey is in the killer’s sights, too. The story is set in three time frames, current day when Stacey is writing her novel, the time of the wedding night murder, and a few years earlier in 2000 when attorney Jack Booth meets Kathy Moran. Margolin keeps the action
moving, uses the northwest setting beautifully, and crafts a devious mystery that will keep you turning pages. • On June 18 the Classics Book Club discusses “A New Life by” Bernard Malamud. In 1950 Seymour Levin, a 30-year-old professor, departed his native New York (where he indulged too freely in strong drink) for a fresh start in the Northwest where he had accepted a position at a state college. Settling in as a professor of English, he finds the college leans more toward the scientific than the creative and learns the former occupant of his office was a rabblerouser sacked for causing trouble. Yet the new environment is also freeing, the wide-open spaces different from the tenements of New York. Gifted with a strong aptitude for getting into trouble, Levin indulges in a variety of mishaps, many of them with the opposite sex. The story is sprinkled with humor and is a great selection for our month of Oregon. Malamud is writing from experience, at least as regards the setting, as he taught at Oregon State in Corvallis from 1949 to 1961.
• June 25 the Fiction Book Club discusses “The River Why” by David James Duncan. This is one of those special books – hard to describe and a joy to read. While the book certainly pays homage to fly fishing, it is much more than a novel about fishing. A more apt description would be a book about life, living in the present, truly being aware of the grandeur surrounding us, and walking gently on the earth. It is also funny. An upper crust Brit transplanted to Oregon where he writes about fly fishing, encounters a tough as nails Eastern Oregon cowgirl. Sparks fly, progeny result. Their parenting styles are different, but somehow it all works. The narrator of the story is their son, Gus, a gifted fisherman, also a young man coming of age and finding solace in nature. It is not necessary to fish to thoroughly enjoy this beautiful story that is both entertaining and thoughtful. Sunriver Books & Music is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver.

SUNRIVER SCENE • JUNE 2018
Sunriver Men’s Golf: Woodlands open, golf events heating up By Paul J. Grieco Having seen quite a lot of the Meadows course (and in my case, a tour of just about every bunker) over the past two months, Sunriver Mens Golf Club (SRMGC) members were eager to tee off on the Woodlands golf course for a change. We all have been watching the Woodlands course grow prettier and greener over the past months as the fairways and greens have been meticulously cared for and prepared for inaugural rounds this season on May 18, a week before the Memorial Day rush, which tends to mark the beginning of the summer tourist season in Sunriver each year. The SRMGC certainly enjoys the flexibility of being able to play both courses. To the Resort’s credit the Meadows course which had seen all the play up until May 18, has been in very good shape in the early season and the greens have been truly rolling fast and true of late. Kudos are due to the maintenance staff and pro staff for caring for both courses in such a diligent and conscientious way. Match play, cup qualifiers begin By the end of May, the
SRMGC has logged eight “official” events, with another five months of competitions to go. When you count the additional events created by match play (three wins needed to sweep a flight), Resort Cup (four dates), the Sunriver Cup (two dates), and a home and home with Juniper GC (an extra away date), there are over 35 events in which one may compete, though both the Resort and Sunriver Cups require qualifying by participants. The Resort Cup is contested annually by four local clubs over the course of four months, the first event held in June. Along with Sunriver, the other clubs are Black Butte Ranch, Widgi Creek and Eagle Crest Resort. Each club provides an A & B flight consisting of five members in each flight and a pro, who is allowed his handicap. The scoring is a modified Stableford with handicap allowance, with the lowest A & B scores from each team discarded, with mandatory inclusion of the pros’ scores. A “good score” is 36 points, essentially net even par for a player, with anything over 36 considered very good. The scores are cumulative over the four rounds, with the highest
point total overall deemed the winner. SRMGC golfers qualify for each of the four competition days separately. Prior to each Resort Cup event, three regular SRMGC play days are designated as Resort Cup qualifiers. The average of the two best scores from the three rounds are used to determine which four players in each handicap division earn a spot on the Resort Cup team. The remaining spot for the first event in both handicap divisions is filled by a “captain’s choice,” chosen by head pro Chris Points. For the subsequent three matches, one spot is automatically awarded to the SRMGC player with the most Stableford points in his flight from the previous event. The Sunriver Cup, tightly contested since 2008, pits members of the SRMGC versus Crosswater members and is tied at five wins apiece. This year will likely pit 18 players per team plus two pros over a two-day competition, one held at Crosswater, the other at the Woodlands course in early August followed by awards and “bragging rights” dinner. The event is played Ryder Cupstyle, with a team event the first day and an all-singles event the following day. Qualifying for the Sunriver team is rather complicated, awarding signifiT M’ G,

Rhubarb Lady gives festival to La Pine Senior Activity Center By Candace Gray The founder of the widely known local Rhubarb Festival in La Pine will have a vendor booth at the 9th annual event on Saturday, June 9. But for a change, festival founder and “Rhubarb Lady” Linda Stephenson will not be running the show. “It will be different having the festival at the La Pine Senior Activity Center instead of our L&S Gardens,” said Stephenson. “Different and wonderful. This growing nonprofit organization will make a new tradition right from the start because of the energy and dedication of their new director and their huge, experienced volunteer staff.” Stephenson will join 50 other food and crafts vendors
to offer her best-selling jams and sauces and to introduce her new line of seasonings. She has been making products in her commercial kitchen for years, while she and Sonny, her husband of 54 years, managed L&S Gardens on the outskirts of south La Pine. “After 29 years in the garden and nursery business, we decided it was time for a change,” said Stephenson. “Closing L&S this spring was hard yet we know it’s the right decision to move to our new home and acreage in Prineville.” In 1911, her great-grandfather opened the first nursery in Prineville. “We’ve had six generations ‘dealing in dirt’ in Central Oregon,” said Stephenson. Her son, daughter, and grandson helped every
