Pathway paving project enters final year

Caldera Springs conceptual expansion plan approved

The Sunriver Owners Association has embarked on the final stretch of a pledge to rebuild all 33 miles of its paved pathways in Sunriver. Weather permitting approximately 4 miles of pathway will be rebuilt by June 10, completing an 8-year project one year ahead of schedule and saving SROA members approximately $657,000. This year’s pathway projects are scattered around Sunriver including along Abbot Drive near the main entrance, between circles 4 and 5, along West Core Road past the North Pool, North Tennis Courts and Woodlands golf course, and near the north entrance along North and South Imnaha and Cottonwood roads. As has been the case since owners voted in 2009 to increase maintenance fees $30 per month and dedicate those funds to maintaining SROA’s long-term assets, the pathways have been rebuilt using the full depth reclamation (FDR) process. FDR involves grinding the existing asphalt surface and base materials and densely packing them on-site to create a new, stronger base. Over the new base, two layers of fine aggregate asphalt are applied. A glass grid placed between the two layers extends the life of the asphalt by resisting contraction and expansion. The FDR treatment has replaced pathways that were pocked with sinkholes, ruts and broken asphalt, with smooth riding, long-lasting surfaces that have garnered two “Excellence in Paving” awards the past five years from the Asphalt Pavement Association of Oregon. Some short sections of pathway being rebuilt this year have already undergone the FDR process and only need an application of glass grid and a second layer of asphalt to be completed. SROA Public Works Director Mark Smith said these sections were rebuilt at various times in conjunction with utility projects that re-

Sunriver resident Lee Stevenson has been named a recipient of a 2016 Urban & Community Forestry Award from the Oregon Community Trees (OCT) organization. OCT, based in Salem, annually honors outstanding individuals and organizations “for leadership and accomplishments in advancing urban and community forestry projects and activities in the state of Oregon.” Stevenson founded Project Ponderosa in 2006, and since then his supporters and volunteers have potted nearly 10,000 ponderosa seedlings. Of those, 1,200 have been planted throughout Sunriver and on neighboring national forest lands. Stevenson has volunteered hundreds of hours to further the project’s mission to “inform, engage, and inspire students and our community to participate in ponderosa pine restoration to enhance PHOTO COURTESY WES PERRIN forest health and our community Lee Stevenson, center, Jennifer Curtis, forests, as well as raise funds for Sunriver Nature Center manager (left), and local environmental education Clara McCarthy, Oregon Community Trees board member, pose with seedlings planted programs via a self-sustaining by Project Ponderosa volunteers. model by partnering with local businesses and organizations.” In announcing the award OCT board president Ruth Williams noted that, in addition to his Project Ponderosa achievements, Stevenson “is an integral player

By Brooke Snavely A hearings officer has approved the conceptual master plan to expand the Caldera Springs destination resort onto a 617-acre parcel of land that borders the 267-acre existing resort to the east and south. The annexed property may eventually include a maximum of 395 single-family residences, 95 additional overnight lodging units, recreational facilities and additional resort core amenities. The decision approves a modification of the ratio of single-family residences to overnight lodging units from 2:1 to 2.5:1. The project location is due south of Sunriver across South Century Drive. It is bordered by the Sunriver Business Park on the north, Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad to the east, Vandevert Road to the south and South Century Drive to the west. On April 15, hearings officer Ken Helms issued a list of 24 conditions of approval ranging from routine (any substantial change to the approved use requires a new land use application) to regulatory (documenting adherence to laws regulating the ratio of overnight lodging units to single family homes). A 12-day period to appeal the hearings officer’s decision closed after this issue of the Scene went to press. If the decision is appealed, the Board of Deschutes County Commissioners will decide whether to hear an appeal and set a schedule. If no appeal is filed, the proposal must obtain final local approval. If there is no appeal, the applicant’s next step is to file a final master plan with the Deschutes County Community Development Department. The final master plan will provide details on the orientation of lots and specifics of amenities. Likely amenities include multi-purpose pedestrian and bicycle paths, man-made lakes and meandering stream water features and a pool. The applicant, Pine Forest De-

velopment LLC, an affiliate of Sunriver Resort Limited Partnership, will have to file for individual subdivisions (tentative plats), which they indicated could occur in five to nine phases over a period of ten or more years. Any commercial uses such as restaurants or amenities that charge fees for service will be subject to a Deschutes County site plan review. All proposed resort structures will be set back at least 200 feet from South Century Drive, at least 300 feet from Vandevert Road, and at least 1,100 feet from Highway 97. No singlefamily residential building may be higher than 30 feet above grade. The maximum height of multi-family structures is limited to 35 feet, and commercial or recreational buildings 45 feet. All structures that may be visible from South Century Drive will be buffered through a mix of berms, setbacks and natural vegetation. According to information submitted during the hearings, no development on the 617-acre expansion area will be visible from South

Century Drive. All structures will be finished in muted earth tones. All new construction will be consistent with existing development in Caldera Springs and will match the overall aesthetic of the project. Approximately 256 acres will be dedicated to open space. An additional 125-acre wildlife mitigation tract on the east edge of the property paralleling the railroad tracks is to be set aside without any resort-related improvements. The expansion property is within a deer migration corridor but not within a “deer migration priority area,” and is conditionally allowed. The applicant intends to provide electric utility service through Midstate Electric Cooperative, telephone and cable service through BendBroadband, telephone service through CenturyLink, natural gas through Cascade Natural Gas, and solid waste disposal through Wilderness Garbage & Recycle. The application states Sunriver Water LLC’s domestic water distribution system will be extended and Sunriver Environmental LLC’s existing wastewater treatment plan has capacity to serve the annexation

property. Fire protection would be provided by the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District and law enforcement by the Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Department. Sunriver Water LLC indicated it has water rights to accommodate the residential, irrigation and fire protection needs of the annexation property and will obtain Oregon Public Utility Commission approval to expand its service territory. Expansion of the water service territory will be a PUC-regulated process that provides current water company customers opportunity to comment on the cost to ratepayers. A review submitted by Sunriver Environmental LLC indicated the existing wastewater treatment plant in Sunriver has capacity to serve existing connections plus the addition of the annexation property. The applicant concedes that future upgrades will be needed and the expanded resort will be required to pay a proportionate share of the costs. At full build out, the water system for the resort will serve approximately 414 equivalent dwelling units, 25 acres of parks, meadow and landscaping, nine acres of water features and approximately 34 acres of

irrigation water. A transportation impact analysis concludes that all roads and intersections near the project will continue to operate within applicable performance standards through 2030 with all trips associated with the resort expansion taken into account. The applicant submitted a revised traffic impact analysis to address public and agency comments about seasonal traffic volumes. The study concluded the Vandevert Road/Highway 97 intersection will exceed mobility standards between 2030 and 2035 and recommended restricting the intersection to right in, right out movements or for construction use only. The applicant’s traffic study predicts the Spring River/South Century Drive intersection will exceed the county’s traffic volume standards between 2030 and 2035. The county’s transportation plan identifies construction of a single lane roundabout at the intersection at a cost of approximately $900,000. County officials testified that system development charges likely to be assessed to the developer should generate sufficient funds to construct the new roundabout at the time it is needed.

quired the pathways to be cut. One section of pathway that runs from near the intersection of Abbot and Beaver toward the Stoneridge Townhomes will receive a basic overlay treatment. The proposed installation of a roundabout at that intersection will likely require a realignment of this pathway segment in the future. Smith said it does not make sense to completely rebuild it until after the roundabout is installed. Smith said 7 Peaks Paving was awarded the spring pathway construction contract after submitting the most competitive bid. 7 Peaks Paving recently received an industry award for paving projects it completed in Sunriver last year and has performed SROA pathway SUNRIVER SCENE • MAY 2016

By Chad Stubblefield, FRVC District This year’s mosquito season has started off in favor of the mosquito with above average temperatures in March and April. The Four Rivers Vector Control District (FRVCD) started control measures in mid-March treating standing water with hand crews and a helicopter application. We focus on controlling mosquitoes in the larval stage with a biological control agent called B.T.I. before they take flight. Mosquitoes will fly up to 20 miles for a blood meal. We try to keep their numbers down to a tolerable level, but mosquitoes only need a thimble of water to reproduce and there is a tremendous amount of standing water in the Sunriver area. There is no way to make the community completely mosquito free. Insects are a fact of life when living by rivers and wetlands. I have received a lot of questions about the Zika virus. Zika is transmitted from mosquito to human and human to human. Symptoms include joint pain, rash, red eye and a fever. It has been linked to neurological complications like microcephaly in babies and Gullian-Barre Syndrome. Currently, the only species capable of vectoring (transmitting) Zika are the Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti. These mosquitoes do not live in Oregon. Currently the only Zika cases in Oregon have been transmitted human-to-human through sexual contact. I do worry about any disease spread by mosquitoes, and having a robust mosquito control program is key to protecting public health. Protect yourself FRVCD has a few tips to help combat these pests: Dress, Drain and Defend. Dress: Wear long loose light colored clothing. Don’t give them a place to bite. Drain: Drain standing water from buckets, tires, birdbaths

Four Rivers Vector Control District battles moquitoes by land, above, and by air, right.

and any containers that hold water. Keep gutters clean so that they drain quickly. Circulate the water in water features. Defend: Defend yourself. Use a repellent containing DEET or Picaridin. Oil of lemon and eucalyptus are good natural alternatives. Keep mosquitos out of homes by maintaining window and door screens. For more information on mosquitoes, visit www.mosquito.org Sunriver mosquito control contract Each year SROA contracts with Four Rivers Vector Control District, which comes through Sunriver with fog trucks, helicopter, boat and on foot to fog and/or apply larvacide to kill larvae and adultflying mosquitoes. There is also spraying done in adjacent communities and nearby Forest Service lands to reduce the mosquito population in and around Sunriver. The entire

mosquito control district is approximately 20 square miles and stretches from Benham Falls to the north and as far south as La Pine State Park. Fog spraying is only effective on calm evenings between dusk and dawn when tempera-

tures remain above 60 degrees. Spraying is not done during the day to avoid impacting beneficial insects such as bees. Fogging runs kill flying adult mosquitoes and help intercept insects flying in from surrounding areas. Mosquitoes are part of the natural environment and only so much can be done. Even if Four Rivers Vector Control was in Sunriver every day there would still be mosquitoes, but it would certainly be much worse if they weren’t battling the pesky insects. The “mosquito season” is usually over in mid-September. Sunriver Owners Association members can help mosquito control efforts by calling 541593-2411 to report areas where mosquitos are present. During mosquito season, SROA regularly passes along locations of mosquito activity, which the FRVCD uses in its control efforts.

Watercolors and landscape photography on exhibit at Sunriver Resort Lodge Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery continues the Spring Quarter Art Exhibition with Curtiss Abbott, Thomas Wanzer Long and other artists through May 27. Curtiss Abbott shows fine art landscape photography entitled “Immersive Landscapes.” The title reflects his intent to capture realistic images that immerse the viewer in the scene – hearing waterfalls, walking in the woods, gazing at sunsets on distant mountains. The artist notes that the world’s finest cameras are mechanical tools that cannot see as the human eye. Hence, the photographer continues his labor of some 40 plus years of manually setting the camera’s focus, aperture and shutter

speed as well as later enhancing the photo’s color, light and atmosphere to put his “personal stamp on my images.” Collectively, Abbott demonstrates considerable skill in the use of the photographic medium but also communicates his emotive experience in the encounter as seen in “Paulina Springs.” He exhibits his expertise and notes his joy in sharing his experience with others. Thomas Wanzer Long began his art career at age 7 on a train trip with his maternal grandfather. Following the trip, Long painted an orange grove retained in memory. Impressed with the child’s ability, his grandfather (an enduring advocate of Long’s art) enrolled him in the Museum Art School

Village at Sunriver, Bldg. 19 541.593.4382 www.artistsgallerysunriver.com

The Sunriver Area Public Library is featuring the work of local painter and teaching artist, Sue Wilhelm, during the months of May and June. Wilhelm will share some history and thoughts regarding her work during the opening reception at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 14. Wilhelm says her work is inspired by living. Whatever is happening both internally and externally provides food for thought and expression. She works from combinations of live objects, her own photos, imagination and researched images. Each piece involves a process of exploration and

learning — not just in the use of media, color and design, but in understanding her psyche and inner vision. She sees her art as a way of being and living, which has been and will be with her all her life. “This learning transforms me – my outlook on life, my understanding and connection to myself and to the world. I inadequately describe it as intention woven with acceptance. I experience an unexplainable personal joy in the doing and in the inherent surprises of the creative process.” Wilhelm has drawn inspiraTurn to Library, page 7

of the Portland Art Museum where he studied throughout his childhood and teen years, learning drawing and painting in acrylic and oil. Later, Long worked as a graphic artist in Portland, continuing his art education at Portland Community College at night. At PCC, the artist learned watercolor and dry brush watercolor technique under the tutelage of Clifford Smith for whom he later worked as an instructional assistant. He continued study at Portland State University while working in marketing, including his own marketing business. During this time, the artist began to join his graphic design experience and his education in fine art. Employing watercolor washes as background in paintings, combined with the detailed drawing technique of graphic art joined with dry brush watercolor as foreground, Long created the series of paintings now on display at Sunriver Lodge. The realistic images include the minutely detailed, complex renderings of “The Old Lodge at Multnomah Falls” and “Sacred Pool” as well as “Cloud Cap Sunset” that combines both complex and more expressive detail. Each meticulous and expert painting required months to complete. Janice Druian, Bill Logan, Mary Marquiss, Mary Rollins and Gary Vincent join the exhibit. Sunriver Resort invites the public to the exhibition open all hours. Information: Contact art consultant Billye Turner at 503-780-2828.

Some examples include the Chihuly Series, Picasso Series, the Nebula Series, the Sea Life Series, the Avian Series, and the O’Keefe inspired works. She is well known as a watercolor painter and a vivid colorist with a gift for rendering form, but she loves exploring

with many types of media both two-dimensional and threedimensional. From realism to surrealism to abstraction, the process continues. Wilhelm’s two-dimensional works are viewable during regular Sunriver library hours: Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. The library is located at 56855 Venture Lane in the Sunriver Business Park.

Meteor shower, Mercury transit among heavenly sights By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager Time waits for no one, and we find ourselves moving quickly to summer. May is here, and the Oregon Observatory is ready. May is a wonderful month to watch the jewels of the night, Saturn and Jupiter. While Jupiter starts to climb in the evening in the west, Saturn starts to rise in the east. The Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks May 6, and can generate upwards of 30 meteors per hour. On May 9, the planet Mercury will move directly between the Earth and the Sun. The observatory will be open with solar filters to observe the dark disk of the planet Mercury moving across the face of the Sun. This is a rare event that occurs once every few years. There will be one other transit of Mercury in 2019. The next one will not take place until 2039. We plan to be open from about 7-11:45 a.m. for viewing of this special transit. Feel free to come by and check out the “little black dot” moving across the Sun. During the month of May, the observatory will be open Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for solar viewing and Wednesday and Saturday nights from 9 to 11 p.m., so come by and say “hi.” Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for

kids. Members are free. May is the time that staff updates exhibits. We have already started working on some improvements, including updates to current equipment, better lighting for the observatory, and updates to exhibits. The observatory hosts several school field trips in May. We are proud to have received a matching grant from the Sunriver Women’s Club for a new spectrometer, which will

be added to our solar program and used in schools around Central Oregon. Astronomers can learn a great deal about an object in space by studying its spectrum, such as its composition (what it’s made of), temperature, density, and its motion (both its rotation as well as how fast it is moving towards or away from us). We have been approved to start official fundraising for the projects to expand the observa-

tory. If we raise enough of our goal, we can start construction in September. The money and time that so many have contributed to our mission never ceases to amaze me. Every weekend, volunteers work endless hours at the Second Tern Thrift Store or here at the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory. My staff and I thank you for all of the support we have received over the years.

Mews news: Sunriver’s resident trumpeter swans By Kody Osborne, Lead Naturalist May’s bird of the month features the Sunriver Nature Center’s famous resident trumpeter swan, Chuck. Formally known as “Sir Charles,” Chuck was brought to the Sunriver Nature Center in 2013 through a partnership between the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Trumpeter Swan Society. The goal was to provide Chuck a safe haven and for him to eventually meet a mate. Lake Aspen fit the bill well enough, and Chuck became an instant hit with locals. Many have wondered about Sir Charles’ love life over the past few years, and were happy to learn that a mate was finally found and delivered to Sunriver by the Trumpeter Swan Society

in 2015. Enter Lady “Gracie” Grace. After a somewhat rocky start, the two are now inseparable and can be seen side-by-side, gliding over the waters of Lake Aspen and asserting their dominance over the area waterfowl.

Monarchs highlighted in May programs Monarchs are the best known butterflies in the world, but experts say their numbers are declining alarmingly. Reasons why, and ways to protect the species, will be presented during two special programs sponsored by the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory, Monarch Advocates of Central Oregon and Great Old Broads for Wilderness. On May 10, Tom Landis from the Southern Oregon Monarch Advocates will talk on “Bringing Monarchs Back to Central Oregon,” in Sunriver Nature Center’s Pozzi Building. Landis attributes the decline in monarch populations to the loss of native milkweed plants brought about by farming practices and land development. It is estimated that 50 percent of Western milkweed is gone, and this is the sole plant where adult monarchs lay eggs and provide meals for caterpillars. According to Landis, Oregon is a critical location for monarchs as they migrate from wintering in California to as far north as Canada. “Creating monarch way stations and pollinator gardens on their flyways is possibly our only hope of protecting this diminishing species,” he says. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free, but seating is limited. Reservations can be made at 541-593-4394. On May 12, at Bend’s Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon, a symposium titled “Monarchs, Milkweeds – and You” will discuss the monarch’s migration through Central Oregon and ways citizens can offer support through habitat restoration and citizen science projects. Speakers will include Katya Spiecker, founder of Monarch Advocates of Central Oregon; U.S. Forest Service geneticist Matt Horning, and David James, associate professor of entomology at Washington State University. Doors open at 6, presentation runs 6:30–8 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Gail Beeson: Second Tern volunteer of the month Did you know that grebes (a swimming, diving bird) do not walk well on land (has something to do with their legs/feet being set far back on their body) so if they get blown by high winds out of the water and onto the beach they are unable to get back easily to the water? This is something the May Second Tern volunteer of the month, Gail Beeson, found out when she volunteered for the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), in Lynwood, Washington. Volunteers pick

up the grebes off the beach, rehydrate them with a blended fish slurry (think Saturday Night Live and the Bass-oMatic) and then release the birds back to the water. And this is just one of the many interesting things Beeson has been involved in over the years. Born in Burbank and raised in Reseda, Beeson worked in one of the Jack LaLanne European Spas at the juice bar and marketed memberships. Based on that experience, she worked in sales, traffic and

the production department of CBS Radio, KNX News, in Hollywood. These were live radio broadcasts where everything was synchronized to one-thousandth of a second with no room for error. “It was very stressful,” said Beeson, “but very exciting.” That experience was followed by work in TV production in Los Angeles where one of the highlights was meeting Kermit the Frog and Jim Henson. Then it was on to work in TV, radio, an ad agency in produc-

Tern treasures: Unusual scrapbook arrives at Second Tern By Wes Perrin Volunteers at Sunriver’s Second Tern Thrift Store were caught by surprise recently when a yellowed scrapbook arrived filled with carefully glued newspaper clippings about one of the most famous trials in American history. Eighty years ago the entire country was agog about the fate of Bruno Hauptmann, charged with the kidnapping and killing of the infant son of Charles and Ann Morrow Lindbergh. It obviously fascinated someone in Bryan, Texas, 90 miles northwest of Houston, who pasted the daily newspaper accounts in this rough-hewn scrapbook.

At the time Lindbergh, first man to fly across the Atlantic Ocean nonstop and solo, was a national hero. The tragic event occurred in 1932, but it took three years for authorities to track down Hauptman. The trial lasted from Jan. 2 to Feb. 13 in 1935, and was covered in exuberant detail by the media of the time. Hauptmann was convicted, and eventually his execution was scheduled for April 3, 1936. How this curious memento traveled from Texas to Sunriver remains a mystery as the donation arrived anonymously. Long time volunteer Phil Dean remembers when it ar-

rived. “It was mixed up with all kinds of other stuff and we never had a chance to ask the donor anything about it or even know who the donor was.” Eventually another volunteer, Margaret Beard, unearthed the bedraggled scrapbook and brought it to the attention of fellow workers. Anyone leafing through the 70 tattered pages will quickly discover that newspaper copywriters then did not favor today’s quick sound-bite school of journalism. Not only is the trial covered comprehensively in terms of the characters involved, the entire day-by-day,

blow-by-blow court transcripts are offered. In addition to the text, there are pages of newspaper photos revealing multiple pictures of the Lindbergh baby, of the attorneys and witnesses, and even mug shots of the “farmers and housewives” on the jury. Folded into the concluding pages are five full pages of the Houston Post dated April 4, 1936, the day following Hauptmann’s execution. The headline screams, “BRUNO HAUPTMANN DIES IN CHAIR WITHOUT WORD TO CLEAR UP LINDBERGH MYSTERY.” Subheadings proclaim, “Doomed Man Walks Unaided to Execution Chamber in Jersey,” and “Hysteria Grips Wife of Bruno.” The stories were filled with a kind of melodramatic prose no longer seen today. One descrip-

tells the legs to walk on toward death and the legs obey.” Although crude and in deteriorating condition, the scrapbook offers a rare glimpse into the coverage of what has been called “one of the trials of the century,” and with even more bombast, “the biggest story since the Resurrection.” An effort will be made to determine if a museum or historical society might be interested in obtaining it for

archival purposes. The Second Tern is located on Spring River Road, ¼-mile west of Harper Bridge and a short distance from Sunriver’s main entrance.

Sunriver Brewing releases two brews in cans Sunriver Brewing Company planned to offer its award winning Rippin’ NW Ale and Fuzztail Hefeweizen in 12-ounce cans in April. Both brands will be available in six packs throughout Central Oregon and in select stores around Oregon. Rippin’ NW Ale recently earned a silver medal at the 2016 Best of Craft Beer and a bronze at the 2016 Or-

egon Beer Awards. Fuzztail also earned a gold medal at the 2016 Best of Craft Beer awards. “Fuzztail Hefeweizen and Rippin’ NW ale are excellent choices for canning,” said Brett Thomas, head brewer. “Both beers are designed for session drinking and are a perfect match for the outdoor lifestyle of Central Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.”

With the new cans come bold colors and a re-styled logo on the packaging of all Sunriver Brewing Company products. The updated logo, graphics and signage coincide with the February opening of the company’s newest pub location on Northwest Galveston Avenue in Bend. Sunriver Brewing Company’s pub in The Village at

Swans

These are the jumbos of the bird world. Trumpeters are the heaviest living birds native to North America. They weigh 25 pounds or more, and have wingspans ranging from 6 to 8 feet (one bird book even claims they “may exceed 10 feet!”). They generally, but not always, mate for life. They certainly are one of the most monogamous species. Grace and Charles are a prime example. In the wild they have lived as long as 33 years, but in captivity the oldest only made it to age 24. Trumpeters have an unusual incubation technique: rather than sitting on their eggs, they cover and warm them with their large, webbed feet. Their call is loud, deep and resonant; hence trumpet-like, and the basis for their common name.

for eggs, which could come any day now. Trumpeter swans typically lay eggs in late April to early May, so we are down to crunch time. After the eggs are laid, we can expect around five weeks of gestation before cygnets (young swans) make their way into the world. During this time, we ask that Sunriver residents respect the birds’ space, and give them plenty of privacy. We will keep everyone updated on the progress of our royal couple, so stay posted to SunriverNature Center.org and be sure to “like us” on Facebook for news on all things nature.

Jurors choose quality art for Sunriver Art Faire Five Central Oregon art professionals served as jurors to select the highest quality works from among more than 150 artist applicants for the seventh annual Sunriver Art Faire in The Village at Sunriver Aug. 12-14. The jurors – Helen Brown, Steven Douglas, Valerie Winterholler, Judy Hoiness and Will Nash – brought a range of art knowledge, experience and expertise to the judging. The Sunriver Women’s Club is proud to acknowledge the jurors who served in the 2016 Sunriver Art Faire process. Helen Brown’s paintings have been juried into two North Light publications, “Splash 16” and “17” and the “Best of Watercolor.”

Group Gatherings

Play to act out the creation of Deschutes County A four-part play in honor of the creation of Deschutes County in 1916 will be presented Saturday, May 21, 6 p.m. at SHARC. The play presents the voices that shaped the politics of the day and chronicles daily life as new towns boomed and sought control of their futures. There is no cost to attend. The production will be presented earlier the same day at the La Pine Community Center at 4 p.m. Other performances will be held May 14, 7 p.m. at the Deschutes Historical Museum, May 15, 5 p.m. at Centennial Park in Redmond, and May 22, 7:30 p.m. at Faith Hope and Charity Vineyards near Terrebonne. Deschutes County history At the time of statehood, Wasco County included all of Central Oregon from the Columbia River south to Silver Lake. As the eastern twothirds of the state filled in with pioneers seeking homesteads of their own, smaller counties began to take shape. In 1882, the southern half of Wasco County separated to create Crook County with Prineville as the county seat. With completion of the Oregon Trunk railroad line in 1911 bringing train service through Madras, Terrebonne, Redmond and Bend, but excluding Prin-

eville, the balance of political power shifted west. Public debate of additional smaller counties appears as early as 1910. In 1914, voters approved the separation of the northwest corner of Crook County to form Jefferson while a separate measure to move the Crook County seat from Prineville to Bend narrowly failed. With Jefferson County’s example to follow, measures to move the county seat were abandoned and voters approved the creation of Deschutes County in November 1916. Deschutes was the last of Oregon’s counties to be established. When Deschutes County was formed in 1916, there were an estimated 5,000 residents. By 1920, the first U.S. Census held after its formation, the population had nearly doubled. Since that time population growth in Deschutes County has been swift. Over the past 20 years, Deschutes County’s percentage

of growth remains higher than any other Oregon county. Other centennial observations Earlier this year, local students in grades 4-7 were asked to submit art depicting Deschutes County’s history. The winning art will be featured on the cover of the 2016 Deschutes County voters’ pamphlet. Throughout the year, residents are invited to share ideas for the contents of a centennial time capsule, which will be revealed at the Centennial Celebration in December. The time capsule will be placed into Turn to County, page 14

From Sunriver Scene news sources Crook, Deschutes, Klamath and Jefferson counties are all hosting FireFree events for local residents to easily prepare for wildfire season. Now is the time to clean up your yards and create defensible spaces around homes and recycle that debris at collection sites for free. • May 7-15 at Knott Landfill in Bend. • May 6-7 and May 13-14 at the Westside Collection Site in Bend. • May 13-14, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. at Sunriver Compost Site (Lake Penhollow) on Cottonwood Road. • May 20-21 at various Deschutes County Transfer Sites including: – Southwest Transfer Station in La Pine – Negus Transfer Station in Redmond – Northwest Transfer Station in Cloverdale (Sisters) Fire science tells us that if you have created and maintained a defensible/survivable space around your home, it has an 80 percent chance of surviving a wildfire without fire department assistance. FireFree reminds you to take a look around your property in the “home ignition zone” where glowing embers can ignite spot fires and vulnerable areas like decks, patios and fences that can spread flames to your home. The most vulnerable places for glowing embers

Hosmer Lake pastel selected as SRMF poster artwork Norma Holmes’ original pastel “Awesome October – Hosmer Lake” has been selected as the Sunriver Music Festival’s 2016 poster artwork. Each year, the Festival selects a Central Oregon artist to create the artwork for the annual festival poster. Local artists were invited to submit a piece for consideration and a committee of art enthusiasts selected Holmes’ artwork. Holmes’ original artwork was framed by Eastlake Framing and is currently on display at the Bank of Cascades in Sunriver. The artwork will be a featured auction item at the festival’s annual fundraiser, Festival Faire, on July 31 at the Sunriver Resort Great Hall. The event includes an evening of elegant dining and a lively auction

with music provided by a select group of talented 2016 Young Artists Scholarship winners. More than 300 posters featuring will be distributed for display in businesses in Sunriver, Bend, Sisters and Redmond. Posters are also available for purchase at the Sunriver Music Festival office in The Village at Sunriver and at various businesses and galleries in Sunriver and Bend, including Eastlake Framing, Sunriver Chamber of Commerce, The Great Frame Up, Sage Custom Framing & Gallery, Flowers at Sunriver Village, Phoenix Picture Framing and Bits & Pieces. A native Californian, Holmes was born in Carmel. After sell-

ing her horse farm in Pescadero, Holmes moved to the picturesque town of Sisters in 1991. She was drawn to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and it continues to inspire her work. Holmes is especially fond of Oregon’s diverse interior, with its High Desert rabbitbrush, Cascade lakes and mountains, big skies over Prairie City, Steens Mountain wilderness, town of Plush in the shadow of Hart Mountain, Rome Pinnacles and Leslie Gulch near Jordan City, and the Wallowa Mountains overlooking Joseph. It’s here that she follows her passion, plein air painting, to

to ignite your home include gutters and roof valleys that hold pine needles and leaves. Despite a metal or asphalt shingle roof, the buildup of gutter debris provides necessary fuel for the glowing embers to ignite adjacent fascia boards or siding – most often made of wood. Do your shrubs and weeds provide a path of fuel for fire to reach your trees or home? Reduce shrubs and other “ladder fuels” around your home to reduce the threat of ground fires igniting nearby trees, or your home. What can catch fire on your deck or patio or near your fence? Remove weeds, shrubs or any combustible materials from around, under or on top of your deck, patio or wood fence. This includes toys, planters, construction materials, patio furniture and cushions along with even small piles of pine needles or leaves. Is your woodpile near your home or other combustible vegetation? Move woodpiles at least 20 feet away from your home or other combustibles. Visit the FireFree website at www.firefree.org for more information about how you can prepare your property for wildfire season.

Learn the keys to successful fishing while sampling local brews The Sunriver Anglers will feature two of Central Oregon’s popular activities, fly fishing and beer tasting, at its May 19 meeting. The meeting will begin with a tasting of local brews from the Sunriver Brewing Company and be followed by the main program featuring Bob Gaviglio, owner of the Sunriver Fly Shop. How do you approach fishing a new body of water, or for that matter, a familiar lake? What do you need in your boat or other watercraft to increase the odds of having a successful fishing trip? Can you prepare and pack your equipment so you have fewer problems and don’t forget anything? These and other questions about fishing excursions will be discussed and answered by Gaviglio. Gavilgio opened the Sunriver Fly Shop in 1995 and has operated it at the Sunriver Business Park location ever since. He gained his early angling expe-

rience fishing in California for various species including trout. After teaching and working part time as a fishing guide, he decided to pursue a career as a full-time fly fishing guide and fly shop owner. Gaviglio’s background in education make him the ideal person to introduce beginners to fly fishing and to help veteran anglers improve their techniques and skills. Gaviglio specializes in fishing the lakes and reservoirs of Central Oregon from a personal watercraft such as a pontoon boat or float tube. He frequently fishes and knows well Crane Prairie Reservoir, East, Paulina, Davis, North and South Twin, and Lava lakes. He also leads guided trips to a number of private fishing lakes in the region. Gaviglio has developed a number of well known flies including the rufus, minnow bugger, South Twin special (aka thin mint), and Lady Di.

Although they were originally designed for Central Oregon waters, these flies are sold throughout the western United States. During his presentation, Gaviglio will share practical tips to help make anyone become a more successful angler. Some of the topics he will discuss include how to organize fish-

ing tackle and associated gear, different ways to set up and arrange a pontoon boat or other fishing boat, and what to take or not take on a trip. All of this information will be presented so that anglers spend less time fumbling around searching for things and more time actively fishing. Fishing is a learning experience. Gavilgio will provide tips on how to maintain a journal of your fishing trips for future reference. Remembering details of past fishing trips can be difficult after a few years have passed. What fly did you catch that fish on? Where were you fishing? How deep? What time

Sunriver Angler’s Fly Tying Corner: Lion’s mane damsel By Phil Fischer I like the damsel hatch. It occurs midday in late June on most of our local lakes, and is characterized by a very splashy rise form as trout take damsels swimming just below the surface film. Damsels look to find sticks, tules, anchor ropes, or any other object that enables them to crawl out of the water to hatch. They often swim just below the surface for some distance looking for these items to latch onto. It is during this surface swimming action that the damsel is the most vulnerable to trout. The damsel nymph coloration matches the color of the environment where these insects live, and ranges from tan to a deep olive. THE REAL ESTATE EXPERT YOUR FRIENDS RECOMMEND! Terry Giltner

If you have suggestions on future patterns to feature in this column, I welcome your input. I can be reached at philfischer@ sbcglobal.net

This month’s pattern is the lion’s mane damsel, which is a pattern that I have used with good success casting towards rise forms and/or surface structure. It is stripped back in short strips on a dry line, fishing the fly very shallow under the surface film. Offer long pauses during the retrieve. Trout will often take during these pauses. The name lion’s mane damsel is attributed to the marabou wound around the eyes that give the fly its characteristic lion’s mane look. The design of the lion’s mane damsel is simple; it features a long wispy tail to mimic the undulating motion of the natural. As you can see in the picture, the tail contains a small drop of UV resin, which offers a hinge point that imitates the swimming motion of the natural. Give the following pattern recipe a try during early summer damsel hatches on your

Mt. Bachelor to install new east side chairlift Mt. Bachelor and Powdr Corp. announced they have signed a contract with lift manufacturer Doppelmayr to install a new east side chairlift in time for the 2016-17 season. The high-speed detachable quad chairlift, which represents a capital investment of approximately $6 million, was approved by the U.S. Forest Service in 2013 as part of Mt. Bachelor’s 10-year master development plan. The lift’s location on the mountain’s east side will provide greater protection from the elements during storms and inclement weather. “This is an exciting milestone not only for Mt. Bachelor, but for the entire Central Oregon community including our season pass holders, who have been anticipating the new lift and terrain since the master development plan was approved in 2013,” said John McLeod, interim general manager of Mt. Bachelor. “It represents a significant capital investment and underscores Powdr Corp’s Hybrid LLC

commitment to Mt. Bachelor’s future. The additional terrain pushes us over the 4,000 skiable acres mark to make Mt. Bachelor the fifth largest ski area in the United States.” Named Cloudchaser based on its location and the unique weather patterns that Mt. Bachelor creates, the lift will serve 1,448 vertical feet and opens up an additional 635 acres of lift served terrain between the existing Sunrise get back and the low east catch line. This will bring Mt. Bachelor’s total skiable acreage to 4,318 acres. “Finding capital for this new lift at Mt. Bachelor has been a priority for our company, and we’re thrilled to now be making this investment in the Central Oregon community,” said Tim Brennwald, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Powdr Corp. “The additional terrain that this lift serves will provide an entirely new way for pass holders and guests to experience the mountain’s east side.” Cloudchaser represents the

biggest capital investment project to date under Powdr Corp’s ownership of Mt. Bachelor. Other major projects have included replacement of the Pine Marten lift, renovation of the West Village lodge, design and approval of the current master development plan, and

Her jewelry selection in the gallery ranges from Owyhee blue opals to brilliant orange fire opals and sunstones, Oregon’s state gemstone. And coming soon, a new find, Oregon pink opal. “I’ve enjoyed combining our natural Oregon found gem-

Try a tri: Swim, bike and run your way to the Pacific Crest triathlon finish line By Sherri McMillan The last weekend of June, Sunriver hosts the Pacific Crest Triathlon & Weekend Sports Festival, the largest sporting event in Central Oregon and one of the biggest and oldest triathlon events in the country. Last month we provided training tips to help anyone tackle any of the Pacific Crest running events that include a 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon and kid’s ½- mile and 1-mile dashes. This column will focus on getting first time competitors to the triathlon finish line. Pacific Crest offers three separate distances: Long course (typically for advanced athletes), Olympic (an intermediate distance) and ultra-sprint,

the distance beginners should focus on. Ultra-sprint involves a ½-mile swim, 28-mile bike ride and a 3-mile run. Pacific Crest also offers a duathlon (bike/run) eliminating the swim component for those not ready to tackle the water, and an AquaBike that eliminates the run, for those who don’t want to run or walk. Multi-sport events like this are cross training at its best and offer a healthy, active and fun culture and community. But when someone decides to complete a triathlon, they are often overwhelmed with where to start and how to balance three separate events. Swim The swim portion is the

part that freaks out the most but remember there is no rule people considering entering a to which stroke you use.

increasing the number of laps you can swim without stopping until you get to 750 or 1,000 meters. Then incorporate speed drills to work on your power in the water. Once you are able to swim the distance of your triathlon, include one endurance workout (swimming without stopping), and one or two swim interval workouts that incorporate technique and speed drills. Bike This discipline is probably the least intimidating for most people. Equipment needs: Bike, helmet (mandatory), shoes or bike cleats depending on type of pedal, cycling shorts, athletic glasses. Bike fit: Probably one of the most important things you can do is invest in a professional bike fit. It will make your rides more comfortable, increase performance and minimize risk for injury. Most bike shops offer bike-fitting services. Bike two to three times per week. Start by gradually increasing your distance until you can comfortably cycle the distance you are training for. Then incorporate speed intervals and/or hill training to work on your strength and

performance. Understand the terrain. Pacific Crest is a hilly course so be sure to train the hills so you are mentally and physically prepared for the inclines. Consider joining a cycling or triathlon training club to add variety and good solid instruction to your training. Run Equipment needs: Running shoes, shorts or tights, athletic glasses, cap or visor. First, realize that there is no rule that you must run this leg. It is perfectly acceptable to walk or run/walk in a triathlon. Listen to your body. Just because you aren’t able to run doesn’t mean you can’t do a triathlon. Run two to three times per week. Start by gradually increasing your distance until you can comfortably run the distance you are training for. Read the Learn to Run article published last month that provides a progressive running program. Once you have mastered the distance, then you can start to incorporate speed intervals and/or hill training to work on strength and performance. Understand the terrain. The Pacific Crest Triathlon running segments aren’t super hilly but they are at altitude and that can be a significant factor. Frequency of training It’s difficult to imagine training for three different sports but it can easily be done in five to six training days per week. In order to achieve the frequency for each sport, it will often require two workouts per day – one in the morning and one in the evening or two disciplines back to back. Try to incorporate one rest or active recovery day per week and try to balance your program so you alternate different types of workouts. Note: It is possible to com-

plete a triathlon on one workout discipline per day (each week: two swims, two bikes, two runs = six workouts) so don’t be frightened by double workouts per day, that’s only one option. Total volume of training How much time you spend training for your triathlon will depend on your personal schedule, the distance of your triathlon and whether you are a recreational athlete, age group contender or elite level. Clearly, if your goals are more ambitious, you will need to spend more time training. Generally, a beginner should commit to five to 10 hours per week of training with 15-20 percent of their time swimming, 5055 percent biking and 20-35 percent running. Transitions Done correctly, an efficient transition between events can shave minutes off your final time. I had a girlfriend who took 8 minutes during one of her transitions. I asked her what took 8 minutes and she talked about clothing changes, trying to find items, and even deodorant application. Had she been more organized, she would

have experienced a much more seamless transition. Having a good transition time requires practice before race day. Consider each event and what you will want to wear. Ideally you want to minimize the clothing changes. Professionals will wear the same clothing from start to finish of a triathlon. They will often wear some form of triathlon suit that has a thin shammy to provide comfort on the bike but that they are still able to swim and run in. I will typically wear a thin cycling short and bra top or tank top throughout an entire race so no clothing change is required. Practice each stage of your transition. Imagine coming out of the water and practice taking off your goggles, swim cap and wet suit, followed by putting on your bike helmet, glasses and cleats. Then imagine coming off your bike and practice taking helmet and cleats off and quickly putting on running shoes.

ODOT cautions motorists about spring deer migration With spring at hand, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is advising motorists to be on the lookout for migrating mule deer on Highway 97 and other Oregon highways “Spring is the traditional season when mule deer that have been over-wintering near Fort Rock make their way back to the eastern slopes of the Cascade range,” said Cidney Bowman, wildlife biologist for ODOT. “They have to cross 97 to reach their destination so motorists need to be alert for deer on or near the highway.” The bulk of the deer migration starts in mid-April and extends until late-May in Central Oregon. With the late snows this year, ODOT expects deer herds to be moving through the hotspot corridors along Highway 97, Highway 20 and Highway 31. Most of the animals will be traveling during the dawn and dusk hours, but motorists can expect to see them at any time. “Motorists need to know that if they see one deer, they haven’t seen them all,” Bowman said. “Being alert for deer is especially important during the migration.”

The Task Force’s Interim Recommendations The task force provided an interim report for the Board’s consideration at our April work session and board meeting. The task force used SROA’s Decision-Making Checklist in its analysis and three important criteria from the checklist came into play. First, decisions must be acceptable in terms of risk management. Second, decisions must be based on facts and data. And third, the decision must be in the best interest of SROA’s owners as a whole. The task force analyzed information from a number of sources, including the 2012 IAMP Master Plan itself, the previous IAMP task force, findings from surveys of own-

ers dating back to 2004, the current listing of IAMP items scheduled for replacement within the next five and ten years, and data on usage for SROA’s tennis-court complexes. Using this information, the task force identified six items that meet the criterion of items that are rapidly maturing towards – or in some cases that have already reached – scheduled replacement according to the reserve study. Those six items include three tennis court complexes (Winners Circle, Marketplace, and Meadow Village), as well as the Abbot/Beaver Drive intersection, the Cottonwood Road/ North entrance to Sunriver, and Mary McCallum Park perimeter fencing. The task force’s findings with regard to tennis courts demonstrate the role that the Decision-Making Checklist played in their recommendations. Focusing first on risk

management, decision time is here. Time is running out on deciding whether to invest reserve funding to completely rebuild these courts. The task force found that the condition of these courts will soon border on being “unplayable” and may eventually cause liability issues if not addressed now. Relying on years of data regarding actual usage, the task force found that these tennis courts have the lowest usage of all of the courts that SROA owns. It came as a bit of a surprise that the usage data also do not support the concept of neighborhood tennis court complexes being frequented by those in the nearby geographic area. The data show, for example, that those who live within a quarter mile of the Winners Circle courts are more likely to use the Meadow Village courts – clear at the other

Tables and Chairs – an evening of one-acts Sixteen members of The Sunriver Stars Community Theater, under the direction of the artistic director, Victoria Kristy, will present eight oneact plays on May 6 and 7 at SHARC. Each of the scenes takes place standing or seated at tables and chairs, ergo the title. A “Happy Hour” will take place before each performance. Guests may show up an hour before curtain and order wine, beer and soft drinks to go with a small plate appetizer. They may purchase the “Star Gazer”

which includes Mediterranean hummus, multigrain crackers, olives, dried fruit and roasted almonds or “The Standing Ovation” with sliced Roma tomatoes, sliced mozzarella, olive oil, artisan bread, salami slices and olives. The tapas may be pre-ordered ($10 per plate) but will also be available to purchase upon arrival. “We are trying something new,” Kristy said,” This is our first collection of one-act plays and our first time to offer small plates instead of a full dinner before the show. It

would be great if guests would pre-order just so we get a feel for how many to have on hand ahead of time but we’ll make sure to have plenty for spurof-the-moment purchases as well.” Tickets for the 7 p.m. Friday, and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday performances are $15 and can be purchased from SSCT actors, at the SHARC desk, at the door and reserved by calling 541588-2212.

end of Sunriver – than they are to play at their neighborhood courts. The fact that the Winners Circle, Marketplace and Meadow Village courts are fairly isolated and lack the services available at other tennis complexes may help explain their low usage. Another explanation may be that there are just too many tennis courts in Sunriver. There are more than 40 tennis courts within Sunriver, of which 24 are owned and maintained by SROA. According to the United States Tennis Association, this number of courts is adequate for a city

with a population of 25,000 to 50,000. Consideration of risk-management concerns and usage data thus leads to this question: is investing several hundred thousand dollars in complete reconstruction of these low-usage courts in the best interest of SROA owners as a whole? Next Steps After examining the task force’s interim recommendations, the Board made several decisions at our April meeting. • Winners Circle Tennis Complex: The Board agreed with the task force’s recommendation and decided not to reinvest in replacing these courts. The Board did ask that in doing so; the task force develop a plan for communicating with and engaging the neighborhood surrounding this complex. • Marketplace Tennis Complex: Decided to replace tennis courts as scheduled. • Meadow Village Tennis Complex: Asked task force to perform more study on characteristics and conditions at the site to assist the Board’s decision-making. • Mary McCallum Park: Asked task force to provide potential options for fencing the perimeter of the area. • Abbot/Beaver Intersection: Decided to proceed with engineering work. • Cottonwood Road: Decided to replace the roadway as specified in reserve schedule. Asked task force to do further study regarding possible future enhancements to the entry experience. In the end, I am pleased to report that, thanks to our data capabilities and the hard work of this task force, progress has been made. Best of all, the process being used has managed to combine structured planning with scheduled replacements in determining the highest and best use of SROA’s resources into the future.

Ask the police chief

for a “fit” with the community as well as the department. This fit is critical, in my opinion, as this new officer (as well as the current officers) will reflect directly back to the mission and values of the department and the Sunriver Service District. As many community members know, even after we do all the above, it is somewhat of “a roll of the dice” to get the type of individual we want here. Once hired, we put them through an intensive field training evaluation program. Q: This is the time of year SRPD hires and trains its Bike Patrol officers. How many Bike Patrol officers will there be this year? How are they trained? What are their duties? A: We will have eight seasonal Bike Patrol and possibly two part-time to fill in as needed. Of the eight, three are returning from last year. Bike Patrol will start Memorial weekend. The new Bike Patrol will go through a weeklong training to learn about their responsibilities and how to safely ride a bike. The sergeants, several officers and the Police Chief provide training on numerous subjects. The Bike Patrol duties are to help the police department keep people safe on our bike paths, assist with enforcement of pathway rules and regulations, engage with people, and be eyes and ears (witnesses) to

assist our officers with violations and criminal incidents. Q: At the March meeting of the Sunriver Service District Managing Board, you described some favorable feedback about proactive policing methods that property managers believe prevented property damage to rental homes. What was the nature of the problem? How did Sunriver police convince renters not to damage the homes? A: Several years ago we contacted Sunriver property management companies with the idea of assisting with large groups coming into Sunriver, especially during three-day weekends. Our goal was to be proactive and contact renters before the “party started,” hoping to curtail loud noise complaints, underage drinking, damage to surrounding property, and damage to the rented home. Past problem parties have caused damaged in excess of $1,000 per home. We have convinced persons to fly right simply by explaining the consequences and the fact that we will send reports to their college administration/ university police department for review. We have been informed by some colleges that students could potentially lose scholarships based on such reports. We know of none but we have had several athletes with scholarships that became very concerned about the prospect. When we do receive a complaint and respond to one of

Q: Officer Brian Huesser is retiring after serving the Sunriver Police Department for 18 years. What is the process for hiring a new officer? How do you find the right person who matches up with Chief Marc Mills the department’s community policing practices? A: Yes, Officer Huesser is retiring after serving the Sunriver community for the past 18 years. His experience and knowledge have been invaluable to our community and officers. The process for hiring a new officer involves: • An application process that was open for about 30 days and which closed April 1. • Applications evaluated for college, military, prior/current law enforcement experience, and work history. • A date will be set for written and physical tests that applicants must pass to move to further evaluation. • An oral board that will ask a number of questions of the remaining applicants (one applicant at a time) that will give interviewers an idea of each candidates’ character, values, and overall ethical foundation. • This is followed by one-onone interviews with the Chief of Police in which I will be looking www.sunriverowners.org

Scam alert: Caller demands payment for missed court dates Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies have received information that someone has either started or re-started a telephone scam within Central Oregon. Similar incidents were reported in late March. A caller will identify themselves as being from the Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office by name and/or rank and name. They will say that you have missed a court date or should have gotten a subpoena to appear and failed to appear. This person will say that there is a warrant or some kind of fine related to the missed court date. The caller will then ask that you meet them to make the payment or to take care of the

these situations, we generally end the party by contacting the property management company, writing citations for various violations, and trespassing the individual (the following day) from the rented property. It is working and we have received compliments from property management companies of much reduced damage and issues. Q: You’ve recently begun reporting feedback from the public about positive interactions with police officers as “above and beyond” calls. Where’d you get the idea for the title? Please give examples of recent positive feedback from constituents. A: I wish I could say it was my idea but it was our Sunriver Service District Board of Directors that came up with the idea so that they could hear of positive interactions in which our officers were engaged. Some examples: Officers assisting a homeowner remove snow, helping owners move large or heavy objects, volunteering for the LT Rangers picking up roadside trash, volunteering to pull weeds during War on Weeds week, and just simply spending time interacting with a homeowner over a sensitive issue.

They may also tell you that if you don’t take care of this fine or warrant that a deputy will be sent to your home. Updated information: In this most recent incident, the caller told the victim they had been summoned or subpoenaed as a character or material witness for the state and they had failed to appear as required by law. The caller then instructed the victim to purchase and use a “Fred Meyer Recharge Card” to complete the transaction and avoid being arrested. This was

all done via telephone. No law enforcement agency in Central Oregon will call any citizen and ask for any credit card, debit card, or checking account information. Do not agree to meet this person to make a payment. Do not give out any information or wire any money to a person under these circumstances. If someone calls asking any kind of information like this, ask for a return phone number. If they give you a phone number, call your local police agency with the return phone number and they can check in to it for you. Source: Sgt. Dan Bilyeu, Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office

Man arrested for shooting geese Sunriver police responded to a report of someone shooting goslings on Sunday, April 17 around 6:53 p.m. on River Road. Upon arrival, officers determined that a male working at the Meadows golf course had shot two goslings. Officers transported one injured gosling to High Desert Wildlife Rescue where it was reported to be recovering from its injuries. One gosling was found deceased at the location, and was later turned over to the department as evidence. After conducting an investigation, Sunriver police cited Joseph N. Seevers, 39, Bend, in lieu of custody for two counts

of animal abuse and two counts of unlawful taking of a game animal. Seevers was released to appear at Deschutes County Court. His single shot air rifle was confiscated as evidence. It was later determined that Sunriver Resort management had no knowledge of Seevers’ actions. Oregon State Police worked with SRPD during the investigation. At last sighting, two adult geese were attending to the remaining gosling. “It is hoped the injured gosling will be returned to its family after recovering from its Turn to geese, page 36

I was wrong. the same time. I was able The devil is in the details at that time to talk Alma into buying insurance, too. I remember telling Alma there are so many different scenarios that could happen if one person has insurance and the other does not, that it is best if both parties have it. At that point I thought everything was set for both ladies. This all happened

when it comes to insurance. Here is what I was told by Travel Ex. There is no problem with Nancy’s claim since she bought insurance at deposit and any pre-existing medical conditions are covered. Nancy is not sure her new illness is related to her past issues she has dealt with relating to her kidneys and pancreas. The problem is Alma’s claim. Alma will most likely be denied I was told, because Alma did not buy her insurance at the time of deposit. If they determine Nancy’s illness is related to her past issues and is a pre-existing medical issue, Alma’s claim will be denied. Even though Alma is not the one who is ill, her claim is based on Nancy’s illness. According to Travel EX, Alma needs to first consult Nancy’s doctors to find out if Nancy’s new illness is related to her past illnesses and the dates involved so the insurance company can determine if it falls in their window of being a “pre-existing medical condition” or not. If it is, Alma does not have coverage for Nancy’s pre-existing medical condition and her claim would be denied. Additionally,

the extra $1,200 Alma has to pay for going single most likely is not covered. All this would have been covered if Alma had purchased travel insurance at the time of deposit. There is also the huge hassle of filling out forms and not knowing if a claim is legitimate. Who wants to go through that if you think your claim will be denied? I think this is absolutely ridiculous, but that is the current answer we are getting from Travel Ex. I am trying to help these two ladies through the maze of paperwork involved. It is difficult getting answers about what is or is not covered. The insurance company wants the client to file a claim first, and then they will advise if a claim is accepted or not. There is no

way every single situation that may arise can be understood before it happens. Even AMA Waterways was not aware of these variables in their insurance plan. Bottom line: If you want to avoid these kinds of uncertainties, it is best to purchase insurance at deposit for all parties traveling together. Most good insurance plans have provisions to cover all pre-existing medical issues if you buy your insurance at deposit. The only positive news I can share about this sad story is AMA Waterways was kind enough to refund Nancy all of her initial deposit as a gesture of goodwill. I did not want this poor woman to have to go through filing insurance forms at this terrible time in her life and the cruise line agreed. Betsy can be reached at 541-385-0499 or Betsy.

Books clubs discuss tales of backcountry kidnapping; Civil War desertion By Deon Stonehouse Book clubs are a great way to meet people in the community who share a love of reading. Everyone is welcome. Book clubs meet Monday evenings at 6:30. May 9 the Mystery Book Club discusses “Descent” by Tim Johnston. Life changes in a heartbeat. One second Caitlin and her brother, Sean, are enjoying the first day of vacation on a tree-shaded trail in the Colorado Rockies. A heartbeat later their lives are shattered, Sean lays injured and alone, while an evil man vanishes with Caitlin. It doesn’t take long for the tornado of official response to be unleashed on the mountainside. The sheriff, search and rescue and volunteers go all out looking for the missing fleet footed golden girl set to enter college in the fall on a full track scholarship.

As the days pass, the official response slackens, search and rescue ceases. Caitlin could be anywhere. When does a family give up? When do they give in to not knowing? For Grant, the answer is never. He refuses to give up and leave those wild, lonely mountains without his child. He needs to know what happened and quench a rising desire for revenge. How could he have brought his child to such a place of solitary wilderness? Somewhere out there evil waits for retribution. As time moves forward, they each must come to grips with the past and begin taking steps forward. Angela goes home and sinks into depression, unable to cope

doned by his parents as they try to heal from their loss. He lost his carefree teenage years the day he lost his sister. His journey to becoming a man takes him on a long, winding road through some dark places. Tim Johnston expertly mixes

a heart-in-your-throat thriller with the compassionately told story of a family and a conclusion that will leave the reader breathless. May 23 the Fiction Book Club discusses “Cold Mountain” by Charles Frazer, an excellent lead in to June’s upcoming Month of North Carolina. The writing in this novel proves Frazer is a wordsmith of amazing talent. It was on the New York Time’s best-seller list for over a year and won the prestigious National Book Award. “Cold Mountain” chronicles the brutality of the Civil War through the story of a soldier, Inman, who comes to realize that war is not glory; it is horror and destruction. Wounded and fed up with the cruelty of war,

he opts out. He decides to walk back to his home in the Blue Ridge Mountains through the battle-scarred wasteland of the South. Deserters are not treated kindly. His journey is filled with peril, as he makes his way toward home and his wife, Ada. Women left to fend for themselves during the war also struggle. Ada is a city raised, educated woman who is not prepared for the hard labor of running a farm once all the workers have gone. Left alone after the death of her father, a minister, she draws on inner strength, changes and grows into the role her circumstances demand. She is aided by Ruby, a homeless woman she befriends. The story is moving, tragic and an excellent reflection on the violent nature of man. Join us for interesting discussions. Information: 541-593-2525, www.sunriverbooks.com

Willis described the reconstruction of the bunkers on the Meadows course. The project involves 1,600 tons of South Dakota sand, which after much research, was found to be closest in color and texture to the native sand and that in the Crosswater bunkers. Most of the work will be done by the opening of the Meadows season on Memorial Day weekend, with a few grass bunkers to be temporarily in place on holes 6, 7 and 8, with late Scott Brown on the Crosswater driving June being the target range, his wedge shaft bending with kinetic energy at the bottom of his swing. completion date for these.

Sunriver Resort Managing Director Tom O’Shea issued the following statement: “On Sunday, April 17, our management team was informed that an employee fired an air rifle at geese on the Meadows golf course, which is currently closed to the public. This staff member acted on their own accord, without prior authorization or approval from our supervisory team.” “Sunriver Resort does not condone this type of activity on property. Sunriver Resort and the employee are fully cooperating with local authorities. The resort is taking this matter extremely seriously and is investigating the situation internally to determine the next course of action.”

Forty-five SRMGC members participated in a two-net ball competition. The first official event of the SRMGC season was on April 19. This year the Men’s Club official playing day is, with few exceptions, on Tuesdays. The men’s and women’s golf clubs traded days from the previous year in a prearranged agreement. It promises to be a good year with two more official playing days compared to last year due to fewer blackouts for outside golf events.

Oregon Nordic ski history exhibit now open The Deschutes Historical Museum’s newest exhibit “Winter Comes: Oregon’s Nordic Ski History” is now open. The exhibit details the strong influence of the Scandinavian culture that pushed Central Oregon to the forefront of Nordic skiing in the early 1920s. The interactive exhibit features oral histories from sons and daughters of ski pioneers, the history of Nordic skiing, as well as reproductions of past skiing equipment and clothing to current technology. Artifacts for the exhibit have been gathered from Norway, Sweden and around the state. A highlight of the exhibit is the display of the trophy known as “The Klamath,” on loan from the Västerbottens Museum in Umeå, Sweden. Local skiing legend Emil Nordeen won the trophy in 1931 with his second win of the Fort Klamath to Crater Lake ski race. The history of Nordic ski-

ing in Oregon has never been told in a comprehensive way, until now. The exhibit is made possible through generous grants from the Bend Cultural Tourism Fund, the Oregon Cultural Trust, the Oregon Nordic Ski Foundation, and many local donors and businesses. The exhibit runs through November.

The Deschutes Historical Museum, 129 NW Idaho Street, Bend, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for youth 13-17, and children 12 and under are free. For more information, call 541-389-1813 or www.deschuteshistory.org.

From the Editor’s Desk: Thanks for the memories

The time has come for my next adventure but I can’t move on without reflecting on what a rich experience it has been serving as editor of the Sunriver Scene and SROA Communications Director the past 16 years. I’ve met thousands of owners (oh yes, I’ve attended that many meetings) and am fortunate to have gotten to know a few hundred of them personally. One of my greatest pleasures has been documenting and sharing news about the progress Sunriver has made on so many fronts. In 2009, SROA members voted to increase maintenance fees $30 a month and dedicate that money to repairing and replacing association assets. With camera, note pad and storytelling, I helped communicate the need to restore SROA’s pathways, among other facilities. Since the approval, I’ve delighted in documenting delivery of the promise: 33+ miles of smooth-riding, long-lasting ribbons of award-winning asphalt that owners, their families and guests will enjoy for decades to come. In 2010, owners took another huge step and voted to replace the old South Pool with SHARC. There were so many good reasons why that needed to happen. The South Pool was crumbling and too small to satisfy demand. There was asbestos contamination at the old amphitheater site leftover from Camp Abbot, the U.S. Army training facility that occupied Sunriver in the 1940s. The elegant and cost-effective solution was to cap the asbestos in place with what are now SHARC parking lots and modern recreation facilities. Owners got 22 acres of pools, water slides, patios, parks, playgrounds, a gorgeous outdoor amphitheater, fitness center and thousands of square feet of meeting and event spaces out of the deal. Communications department staff helped relay reasons for the 2012 land exchange with Sunriver Resort, which the owners approved. SROA got 33 acres in exchange for the old South Pool property that the Resort turned into a beautiful open space called Besson Commons in honor of Sunriver’s military roots. Last year, at no additional out-of-pocket cost, owners got a boat launch on the Deschutes River with paved parking and restrooms on one of the parcels for which SROA traded. Owners have always been interested in what’s going on in The Village at Sunriver. I will never forget the furor surrounding Silverstar’s proposal to create an Aspen-type village with plazas, multi-story buildings and below ground parking. SROA held an election to sell six acres of common ground near the mall to the developer to increase the size and financial viability of the project. Talk about owner involvement. Controversial it was, but several good things came of it: Another developer stepped forward and revitalized the village into the vibrant condition that exists today. Owner interest was channeled into rejuvenating Sunriver. I gratefully acknowledge several colleagues for their support: SROA General Managers Gary Fiebick (who hired me), Bill Chapman, Bill Peck, Hugh Palcic and Assistant GM Keith Kessaris who guided our communication and outreach efforts. Each had unique management styles, goals and impacts that helped me professionally and made Sunriver a better place. I cannot emphasize enough Marti Croal’s contributions to our outreach and education efforts. We lost Marti to cancer in 2014, but the former SROA communications coordinator’s ideas, creativity and technical skills are still visible today in the design of the sunburst monument in the entry roundabout on S. Century Drive. Susan Berger, our current communications coordinator, is one of the finest and most efficient graphic designers I have worked with. Her dedication to the job, SUNRIVER SCENE •

Scene Opinion Policy

loyalty to co-workers and this community are beyond compare. I was fortunate to recently hire Vickie Killion, our current advertising accounts manager. One of the most cheerful and helpful people I have met, Vickie brings amazing customer service and marketing skills that will boost SROA well into the future. Susan, Vickie and Marti get all the credit for the eye-catching flyers, program guides, posters, websites, map of Sunriver, layout of the Scene and images used to promote SROA events and activities. Susan Berger and Jason Schneider of SROA’s Information Technology department teamed up to create the Sunriver Navigator mobile app. This technological marvel puts an interactive map of Sunriver, event guide and restaurant listings in the palm of your hand. Since it was launched it has been downloaded more than 17,000 times and helped many visitors find their way through Sunriver’s maze of pathways and traffic circles. It has been a privilege to participate in SROA’s Sunriver Style branding campaign that promotes Sunriver holistically, the entire community. We want people to be aware of everything that Sunriver has to offer, not just one element. Through digital ads on websites to commercials on local TV and advertisements in prominent magazines, the “marketing gurus” as I refer to them, have captured the attention of people who never knew Sunriver existed, and invited others back to see all the upgrades that have and continue to make Sunriver the family-friendly destination of choice for day visits, extended vacations and full-time living. I’m honored to have worked with managers the likes of Patti Gentiluomo of the Natural Resources department, Shawn Cannon of the Recreation department, Brad Olson of the IT department, Jamie Kendellen and Pete Nielsen in Accounting and Mark Smith in Public Works. These managers and the employees they supervise have propelled SROA into the 21st century with outstanding customer service, creative problem solving and dynamic project management. Sharing the SROA staffs’ achievements was one of the easiest, most satisfying elements of my work. I enjoyed working with approximately 45 members of the SROA Board of Directors the past 16 years. Through helping them promote their candidacies, observing and reporting on their policy discussions and decisions over the course of nearly 200 official board meetings, they have, to an individual, earned my utmost respect. Board service is a selfless act that is difficult to appreciate until you’ve been on the receiving end of members’ concerns and frustrations. There were many times I felt the board members were unfairly criticized, primarily due to lack of understanding about the organization or appreciation for the fact board members are all volunteers who try very hard to do what’s right. I appreciate the candor of the members who’ve addressed the board during the Owners Forums held at each meeting. It takes guts to bring issues to the board’s attention. In more than a few instances, issues raised by individual owners became policy. The system works. With board goals to increase owner involvement in the association’s affairs, the system should work better in the future. Finally, I acknowledge and thank a battalion of volunteers who have helped the Scene with story ideas, content creation, photography and proofreading all these years. With their help we’ve published 192 issues of the Scene; nearly 8,000 pages of coverage about the Sunriver Owners Association, the community and the issues that people who own property and vacation here care about. And that’s just during my time here. The volunteers were making valuable contributions well before then and, hopefully, will do so into the future. Thank you all so very much. jbsnavely@gmail.com
