Mavericks headed to the auction block
By Sunriver Scene staff Mavericks, the aquatic and fitness club on Cottonwood Road in Sunriver, is scheduled to be sold at a sheriff ’s auction in Bend March 31. The sale begins at 10 a.m. in the main lobby of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, 63333 W. Highway 20, in Bend. Prospective bidders must arrive 15 minutes prior to the sale to allow verification of bidders’ funds. Payment must be made in full immediately upon close of the sale. At the sale, bidders must have cash in hand, meaning funds that are immediately available. There is no time allowed to go obtain funds. Cash or certified cashier’s checks are acceptable as funds. Cashier’s checks must be made out to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office. There was no opening bid listed for the Maverick’s property on the sheriff’s real property sales web page as the Scene went to press. “We don’t normally receive them until shortly before the sale,” said Scott Haynes, a DCSO civil technician in an email. The sheriff’s office advises prospective bidders to independently investigate: • The priority of the lien or interest of the judgment creditor; • Land use laws applicable to the property; • Approved uses for the property; • Rights of neighboring property owners; and • Environmental laws and regulations that affect the property. Mavericks closed its doors Oct. 31, 2014. The courts approved the Bank Turn to Mavericks, page 3 SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN. VOLUME XLI • NUMBER 3 P.O. BOX 3278 SUNRIVER, OR 97707

Sunriver Mudslinger promises a mucky good time What possesses an outwardly normal person to crawl through mud pits, climb over walls, weave through a spider web, clamber through muddy trenches and run through a pasture recently enriched by horses? “I like physical. I like all kinds of outside things at my pace,” said Pat Arnold of Sunriver, who participated in last year’s Sunriver Mudslinger mud run for the first time. Arnold teamed up with Cheryl Storm, another Sunriver resident, and together they ran as
the Dirty Divas. “We wore painter suits that make you look like the Pillsbury Doughboy or the Michelin Man, with rubber bands at our wrists and ankles. That makes it tolerable. You stay dry for the most part, and then when you go through the fireman’s hose, most of the mud washes off. Those people in shorts and cotton T-shirts… I’m not doing that.” Arnold and Storm had so much fun decorating their painter suits with tutus and navigating the obstacles, that they
talked their husbands into joining them for this year’s Sunriver Mudslinger, March 22 in the meadow near HOLA restaurant. “Somehow they twisted our arms into doing it… peer pressure and I caved,” said Ken Arnold. “This year John and I will run with Pat and Cheryl as the Dirty Divas and Dirty Dudes. We will wear costumes but I draw the line at tutus. We’ll figure it out.” Turn to Mudslinger, page 3
