Retail marijuana: Sunriver recognized for five years of wildfire mitigation By Susan Berger, Scene Staff County land use SROA NEWS – Sunriver has achieved five years of active application filed participation in the National Fire Protection Association’s Firewise Communities/USA program. During that time for Sunriver residents have committed time, effort and resources to mitiBy Susan Berger, Scene Staff With reasonable regulations in place, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners lifted the prohibition on marijuana-related business in rural Deschutes County. On Sept. 1, the county started accepting land use applications to allow and regulate the following: • Medical and recreational marijuana production and processing • Medical marijuana dispensaries • Recreational marijuana retail and wholesale In less than two months, the county has conducted 30 pre-application meetings with people interested in starting, and received 10 applications for production/processing operations but only one for retail marijuana sales — which is proposed in Sunriver. If approved, the proposed business will occupy a 1,000 square foot retail space in the Mountain Resort Properties building on Beaver Drive. In the Sunriver Commercial District, a recreational marijuana retail use or medical marijuana dispensary is a “conditional” use. Regulations include the operation be located a minimum of 1,000 feet from all of the following: • A public, private, or parochial elementary or secondary school including any parking lot and property used by the school. • A licensed child care center or licensed preschool including any parking lot and any property used by the child care center or preschool. This does not include licensed or unlicensed child care which occurs at or in residential structures. • A youth activity center. • National monuments and state parks. • Any other marijuana retail facility licensed by the Oregon Liquor ContTurn to Marijuana, page 3 SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN.

gate the risks to their homes and landscape from wildfire. As an active participant in the national program since 2012, the community has completed a wildfire risk assessment, developed an action plan and met an annual per capita mitigation investment. Since Sunriver’s inaugural year in the program, a set of annual renewal criteria to maintain active status has been completed. “We’re proud to have Sunriver as an important and valued part of the national program’s more than 1,300 recognized sites throughout 40 states,” said Cathy Prudhomme, Firewise Communities/USA program manager. “We look forward to hearing about Sunriver’s future mitigation accomplishments.” The program formally acknowledges local mitigation actions that residents are completing in their efforts to increase the survivability of properties when wildfires occur. Communities develop their individual risk reduction objectives with cooperative assistance from state forestry agencies and local fire staff. Fire-prone communities throughout the U.S. are eligible to receive Firewise Communities/USA status when the following criteria is completed: • A risk assessment is created and used to develop a plan that identifies mutually agreed-upon achievable solutions that will be implemented by the community and its residents. • A board/committee is established that initiates and Turn to Firewise, page 5

After 41 years in Sunriver, food server looking forward to retirement Recalls early days of mosquitoes, Pandora moths and hot pants By Susan Berger, Scene Staff 1975. That’s when Roberta Beck first started working in Sunriver. At that time Sunriver Resort’s Lodge, and the community at large, were only a handful of years beyond the first groundbreaking. Lot sales were underway in Meadow Village, and sold at a bargain-price of $7,500. Today, an empty lot will cost you around $140,000. Put a house on it and the value jumps to $350,000 or more. Originally from New Jersey, Beck began her long journey in the food service
industry during high school and college. With a degree in secondary education, Beck’s original career plan was to teach. “A lot of teachers end up in the food service business. We do it for the money,” she said. “But I also love people, the freedom and I can do this anywhere. I go on vacation and don’t come back to a stack of papers.” First impressions Beck and her first husband had the romantic notion to “go west and homestead.” They hopped on a bus and chose Eugene as their first destination to check out its university and any potential teaching positions.
Along the way, there was a brief stop in Bend. While waiting at the bus depot (where Deschutes Brewing is today) they sat and watched tumbleweeds blow across the road and wondered… “where the heck are we?” After spending some time in the valley, they left Eugene and decided to explore the Oregon Coast — ending up in Depoe Bay. “It was solid rain for six weeks,” said Beck. “We were told if we wanted sunshine to go over to the other side of the mountains.” Remembering their bus stop in Bend, they packed up and drove over the Turn to Retirement, page 6 PRSRT STD.

ownership of the pending proposal. –Alex Beatty addressed the board relative to the poor condition and capacity issues of the recycling center and urged the board to take action in resolving the concerns noted. He also requested SROA consider including assisted hearing capabilities for the boardroom.
Owners forum from Oct. 14 work session –Dick Brissenden spoke in opposition of the proposed retail marijuana business in Sunriver, citing Sunriver was designed as a “family oriented community” and this is the “wrong concept for Sunriver.” He noted the county’s procedure for notifying only those residents within 250 feet of the project “loose for an issue like this.” He noted this is not the “traffic and business we’re looking for” and “as residents we deserve to fight this issue.”
Association operations Administration: Conducted three-year budget impacts, challenges and opportunities with joint SROA board and Finance Committee. Overhauled employee evaluation process and form. Accounting: Assisted with year-end audit of the Sunriver Service District, and awaiting draft from the auditors.

to the input received from our owners. While the channels of communication are certainly improving, we know we can always do better. In that regard, SROA representatives have scheduled a series of listening sessions in Lake Oswego, Salem and Eugene on November 12 and 13 (see story page 3). It is our objective that, with these listening sessions, the Board and staff would gain a better understanding of the wants and needs of our owners. This input will aid our short and long-term planning. It’s clear that SROA members want good ways to communicate with the Board and the SROA Board email address has proven to be an effective tool. As one owner remarked in a recent email to the Board: “Thanks for offering a forum to address concerns. Noted your offer in the Scene.” The Board finds this channel of communication valuable as well. So, to borrow the closing line from Dean Martin’s TV variety show from the 1960s and early 1970s, keep those cards and letters – and emails – coming in.

By Susan Berger, Scene Staff Although the winters in Sunriver have been relatively mild in recent years our region is often still subject to winter’s extremes. Remember last year’s big, wet snow dump or the freeze of 2013-2014? There’s no way to predict what Mother Nature may bring, but we can prepare our home for a variety of winter woes — weather it be snow, rain or below-freezing temperatures. A little pro-active work today can potentially prevent an expensive reactive cost later. Here’s basic steps to prepare your home for winter: • Drain and put away your garden hoses. • Cover your outdoor faucets with insulating covers.

This is managed through the Sunriver Owners Association’s Natural Resources Department. • Hosting of a Firewise Communities/USA Day each year that’s dedicated to a local education or mitigation project. “In Sunriver, we far exceed this requirement by providing monthly debris pickup between April and November so owners can conduct ladder fuels reduction on their property,” said Patti Gentiluomo, SROA

This includes work by SROA Public Works crews as well as hired contractors and/ or volunteers. • Submit an annual renewal application to Firewise Communities/USA that documents they’ve met the program’s criteria. The Firewise Communities Program encourages local mitigation solutions by involving homeowners in preparing homes and landscaping for wildfires. Firewise is one element of the Fire Adapted Communities initiative — a national effort that engages
• Shut your foundation vents and install insulating Styrofoam covers. • Clean out your gutters. • Contact your landscape professional to blow out your sprinkler system. • Check windows for drafts and re-seal as needed. • Change the batteries in your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detectors. • Have your heating system checked. Also clean or replace your HVAC filter. • Vacuum furnace duct openings and intake vents. • Have your wood-burning fireplace inspected for any buildup, and clean out the chimney as needed. For those who don’t live here year-round: homeowners, firefighters, civic leaders and land managers to reduce wildfire risk in communities throughout the United States. Firewise is sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association and the USDA Forest Service. For more information, visit www.firewise.org/USA
• Have neighbors of friends periodically check your home, especially when the weather turns bad. You can also hire a home service or property management company to conduct house checks. The Sunriver Owners Association does not provide home check services. • Do not turn off the heat in your home — even if no one will be staying there. Set the thermostat on low but high enough to prevent pipes from freezing. • If no one is using the home during the winter, you can turn off the water at your washing machine hoses as well as hoses to the dishwasher, refrigerator ice maker, etc. • Leave cabinet doors open under bathroom and kitchen sinks to allow warmer air to circulate around these areas prone to freezing, especially if the sink is located on an outside wall of your home. • If you think there might be a hard, deep freeze you can leave faucets on a slow drip to help prevent freezing pipes.

day Beck planned to give notice at the saloon, the owner of Casa de Ricardo called and asked her back due to the fact his wife was going in for surgery. Beck recalls there really wasn’t much going on in Sunriver back then. There were only three circles and the marina was the farthest thing north — and nothing else. “It was a long dirt road to the canoe takeout,” she said. The only time Beck didn’t work in Sunriver was a threeyear period when she and David decided to buy 20 acres in Tumalo to take in and foster special needs dogs. “But it was a 24/7 job,” said Beck. “My husband finally said, ‘we’re too young to be tied down like this.’ ” Beck was a server at the Trout House twice during separate, five-year stints until it closed permanently. “The last time was when we moved to Tumalo to do the dog boarding.”

oregon observatory
Home to the largest collection of telescopes for public viewing in the United States
Add heavenly viewing to your turkey day feast By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager As nights grow longer and colder, the familiar star patterns of winter begin to reappear in the evening sky. The observatory will be open for private star parties and during the Thanksgiving holiday. But the sky is the real treat. The Pleiades (M45) is bright in the sky as is Taurus the Bull. Perhaps the most interesting objects in Taurus is the Crab Nebula (M1). This smudge of a cloud is the remains of a massive star that exploded. This supernova explosion was first seen on Earth in the year 1054. Later in the month is one of the most consistent meteor shower, The Leonids, peaking on Nov. 17-18. This shower traces its origin to that comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. Meteors, or “shooting stars,” as they are sometimes called, are actually tiny bits of comet dust that burn up when they hit Earth’s upper atmosphere. Each November, Earth runs into this stream of dust, giving us a meteor shower. The big problem this year is that the moon will be full, so it will be hard to view this shower. The best time will be after midnight, when the Moon is no longer a issue. I know the staff will be out if the weather is clear. By the way… can anyone control the weather for us? The staff is working on plans for 2017. We have started our fundraising efforts for our new roll off roof expansion. In addition, we are working to update and upgrade our equipment during the off season. We are also working hard to get the final touches on new programs, which will include changes to our solar program, adding

new kids classes and our new in-depth viewing program. In addition to planning, we are getting our astronomy store stocked for the holiday season and expanding our rocketry store. Is there something you are looking for or think we should stock? Please let us know. Staff is also busy getting the new observatory at Worthy Brewery in Bend up and going. We have been quietly working on the telescope there, and our staff will be operating the facility once it is ready, which we hope will be very soon. Be sure to watch our website and our Facebook page for the most current update. The staff at the observatory has much to be thankful for during this upcoming holiday season. The support you have given us has made 2016 a wonderful year, I hope you and your family enjoy the holidays. I look forward to the winter months in Sunriver and to the dark skies of the season. I hope the weather allows us to get some viewing in. If the weather is decent, check in with us, you never know what we might be looking at.

By Chris Emmett, Naturalist With the changing of the seasons comes a changing of the birds. Gone are many of Sunriver’s summer residents, heading south for warmer weather, but there is a near equal cadre of birds that arrives to replace them. With the cooler weather comes a decrease in pesky insects, such as mosquitos. While this is a great relief for many people, it is less than ideal for the birds that rely on these insects for food. These birds, such as swallows and warblers, follow their food sources to more habitable climes, typically the southern United States or Mexico, which have a large population of insects, even through the winter months. Other, non-insect eating birds, such as hummingbirds, also migrate. Hummingbirds’ diets are almost entirely sugar-rich nectar from flowers. The most common Sunriver hummingbird is the rufous hummingbird. These tiny, brilliantly reddish orange or green birds are common visitors to flowers and hummingbird feeders in the summer months, and will fiercely defend food sources within their territory. But, when autumn approaches and the nectar supply dries up, these tiny, three-inch long birds migrate all the way to Mexico’s southwest coast, a trip of more than 3,000 miles from Central
Dark-eyed Junco
Oregon. Other birds consider Sunriver’s colder months just perfect, and overwinter here. The most common of these is the darkeyed junco. A variably colored species of sparrow, there are seven different morphs of the junco across North America, but the most common here is the Oregon junco, with its brownish body and dark grey or black head. These birds are very social and can arrive in flocks of several dozen birds at once. Other prominent birds that arrive in the winter include the Western goldfinch and pine siskin. These diminutive finches bring welcome splashes of yellow to otherwise drab yards, and can monopolize feeders in the early months of the year.

SRNCO a ‘healthy organization’ By Wes Perrin “We’re a very healthy organization,” said Harry Hamilton, Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory board president during the organization’s Oct. 13 annual meeting. “And we’re also very creative,” he added. More than 40 members and supporters attended the session, which featured a detailed financial analysis for the past year by treasurer Mike Gocke as well as a report by Hamilton on current activities and future plans. Hamilton made special mention of the long-awaited final construction of the new bird of prey enclosures. By unanimous vote three vacancies were filled on the board. Elected for three-year terms were newcomer Ken Arnold and returning directors Harry Hamilton and Dave Buhaly. Hamilton also introduced Lori Slaughter, the director of philanthropy, noting she would be heading up a comprehensive campaign to raise funds for future expansion. In responding to a question from the audience, observatory manager Bob Grossfeld acknowledged that the forthcoming solar eclipse on Aug. 21 “will be a very big deal in Central Oregon, and thousands of people are likely to visit.” The observatory is planning to provide programs for residents and visitors. The early morning meeting included a breakfast prepared by Teresa Bowerman. In accepting the applause of the gathering for her culinary expertise she complimented her husband, Jay, for serving as “sous chef.” She commented that she has now logged 44 years of volunteer work in a wide variety of capacities for SNCO. The organization has served the community since its founding in 1968.

avian winter residents, a suet feeder is indispensable. Widely available at many local retailers, suet blocks are solidified beef tallow, often mixed with seed or dried fruit. Suet is an incredibly energy-rich food source for birds, packing a massive 240 calories per ounce. Birds absolutely love the energy-rich suet. A mountain chickadee needs only 10 calories of food per day, so a single block can feed dozens, if not hundreds of hungry birds. Unlike many summer birds, who prefer bird feeders with perches, many winter residents are ground feeders. Dark-eyed juncos, for instance, forage by hopping along the ground and pecking up whatever morsels may be around. They can be fed by spreading seed on the ground;

however, this method can attract undesirable wildlife, such as squirrels. Instead, a platform feeder provides an ideal surface for the bird to forage on, while keeping seed off of the ground. Pine siskins and goldfinches are unique amongst local birds in that they are the only species that will eat nyjer, more commonly known as thistle seeds. These seeds are available in ready-to-hang sock type feeders. Offering a meal to these birds couldn’t be simpler. If you have any questions or concerns regarding Sunriver’s avian life, or would like advice on how best to feed and observe birds during the winter months, please call the Sunriver Nature Center at 541-5934394. The nature center is open Thursday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or reachable by cell at 541-7974438 Monday-Saturday.

Over 1000 Jobs Approved by SROA Design Committee Thousands of Additions and Remodels in Sunriver
Second Tern receives extensive doll collection A remarkable collection of dolls said to be “highly collectible,” has arrived at the Second Tern Thrift Store, thanks to a generous donation from the family of Myrtle Hosier — a Central Oregon resident since 1968. “The total collection probably approaches 100 dolls, too many to exhibit at one time,” said Jay Bowerman, Tern volunteer who first examined the donation. “We only have space to display a few at a time in a special cabinet, and will add others as sales take place. Right now we don’t have a detailed inventory so anyone interested in learning which dolls will be coming online should go to manager@secondtern.com to be added to a contact list.” The dolls come from a number of prominent makers of collectibles including Reeves International, Danbury Mint and Franklin Heirloom. Several specific collections are represented, among them “Important Women of the World,” “American First Ladies” and “States of the U.S.A.” In addition there are Elvis dolls, and several examples portraying British royalty such as Princess Diana and Prince William. Doll collecting has long been a popular pastime, and proof that it continues to be a popular
today can be seen in the circulation figures of several national publications. “Doll Reader” claims to have a readership of “20,000 doll enthusiasts” and “Dolls Magazine” boasts its eblast “reaches 21,000 subscribers.” Actress Demi Moore has been reported to be the “world’s highest-profile doll collector” — at one time filling an entire residence with more than 2,000 of her favorites. “I guess you could say, our store is about to get really ‘dolled up,’ said Colly Rosenberg Tern manager. “Needless to say we are extremely pleased
to be able to add this amazing collection to our inventory of very special merchandise. We want to express our deepest appreciation to Hosier family for thinking of us when deciding how best to bequeath the collection.” Second Tern Thrift Store is located on Spring River Road, 1/4 mile west of Harper Bridge, and is open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. All sales benefit the non-profit Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory.

The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. with Brumley offering a fly tying demonstration. There will also be a short business meeting at 7 p.m., followed by Brumley’s multimedia presentation titled “Winter Fishing on Dry Flies.” Brumley is a fly fisherman who wants to educate us to
become better fly fisherman. He is not holding back. This energetic speaker has fly fished for more than 40 years, always using a dry fly. There are no nymphs, streamers, or wet flies in his fly box. Brumley is the owner of www.dryflyinnovations.com, an online company that specializes in dry flies, fly tying materials, books and DVDs. Brumley has produced many DVDs on fishing techniques
and fly tying. He just released a new book on dry fly fishing titled “Addicted to the Rise.” His book is truly multimedia, and includes still pictures, descriptions and a DVD with 43 different video clips. Fisherman can learn his techniques by seeing, reading and viewing. He talks a lot about searcher flies, fishing outside of the hatch, and luring

Turn to Flies, page 13
Fly Tying Corner: Caddis stimulator By Phil Fischer Have you noticed those big lumbering mothy-like bugs flying over the Deschutes or Fall rivers lately? Chances are you were seeing the adult October caddis. This caddis emerges in late September and October throughout many rivers in Oregon and Northern California. WestFly, the well-known fly fishing and entomology website in the Pacific Northwest, nicknamed this bug “the Great Pumpkin of Western Rivers.” It is a big bug, and for a few short weeks in the fall can be important to imitate, as these insects make a tasty treat for rising trout. A steelhead will occasionally take this pattern on the surface as well, skated at the tail out of your favorite steelhead run. It is an honest size 8, which makes it a pattern that is easy to see on the water. And one doesn’t have to cast delicately with this fly. During egg laying flights the October caddis daps the water’s surface to deposit its eggs. It is often this behavior that we are trying to imitate as fly fishermen. So a little “splat cast” on the water is a good thing. You generally won’t see lots of these bugs about, but the trout know they are there and will take them eagerly. Look for the egg laying flight in the afternoon and evening. Even if you don’t see the naturals about, this fly can be a good searching pattern and will often Turn to Caddis, page 12

Library holiday exhibit features two local artists During the holidays, two local artists will exhibit their work at the Sunriver Area Library. Donna Rice creates amazing fabric wall art, while Greg Cotton works in wood to produce beautiful, yet practical pieces. Visit the library during this three-month show through Jan. 28. Consider purchasing a unique gift for someone on your holiday list. The library is open Tuesday through Saturday. Woodworking artist Greg Cotton is a retired math teacher and track/cross country coach. As a geometry teacher for many years, he is intrigued by angles and the many different designs created when joining them together. A long time fan of M.C. Escher and his threedimensional drawings, Cotton often taught his students how to draw Escher’s interlocking figures or tessellations.
Cotton loves the problem solving and logistics necessary to create a project in wood. He will spend days visualizing and planning out the building process of the project before making the first cut. Cotton and his wife, Nancy, live in Sunriver and enjoy outdoor activities including golfing, RVing, and flyfishing. You may have seen his artwork displayed at the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver, the Sunriver Art Fair, or the Traditions Holiday Marketplace in Sunriver. As a child, fabric artist Donna Rice was inspired by her grandmother’s and her mother’s talent for knitting, sewing and hand/machine work. To this day, Rice keeps returning to fiber as a touchstone. Rice’s artistic journey has taken her from sewing bed quilts to creating enjoyable, meaningful and interesting
fiber art. The creative process is what Rice enjoys the most, and her work has been recognized with awards during local and regional competitions.
Caddis continued from page 11
raise a wary trout looking for a large meal. The October caddis stimulator is a pattern I have tied for years to imitate these big bugs on California’s McCloud and Upper Sacramento rivers. When we relocated to Sunriver, I dug this fly out of my box one day on the Lower Deschutes and it performed magically! The bushy hackle and wing will give a convincing impression of a caddis. This fly is designed to float high on the water, and can be skated and skipped on the water much like the naturals. I’ve even recently heard of fly fishers casting October caddis imitations like this one on Crane Prairie, skating them

similar to traveling sedge. I continue to adapt this pattern by using a darker wing and hackle, and adding just a bit of Krystal Flash to help the fly shimmer on the water’s surface. Next time you are out fishing, look for that big mothylooking October caddis in the evening as the natural returns to the stream to lay its eggs, and be ready to splat and skate this fly along the banks and riffles in search for rising trout.

Brumley’s website includes a blog about his days on the water fishing — good or bad. In just a few words, he describes how to be persistent and observant on the water. He is willing to sit and wait, watching for those few rises on those slow days, checking out what bugs are on the water. Following his lessons, we all can improve our dry fly fishing skills. His river reports list the date, the water, weather and size and pattern of fly that caught fish. Spend some

Behavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to use language is lost. However, some behaviors can present real challenges for caregivers to manage.

Don’t feed the deer and elk Deer and elk are as part of the Sunriver experience as pine trees and sunshine, but people don’t realize that feeding these ruminants may also put themselves, and the animal, in danger. As deer and elk hang out and move through residential neighborhoods, well-intentioned people often feed them without realizing the problems it can create. In Sunriver, only the feeding of birds is allowed in Sunriver. Feeding deer or other wildlife is a Class D offense of Sunriver Rules & Regulations (Section 3.04). The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) notes the following issues of people feeding wildlife: • Artificial feeding concentrates wildlife, which leads to the easier spread of disease and parasites and easier take by predators. • Feeding deer and elk attract natural predators like cougars and coyotes to areas of human activity. • Once wildlife associate people with giving them food, they come to expect it. Feeding Small company… big company results!

will invite more deer and elk to your property and encourage them to stay. • Artificial feeding can cause deer and elk to become habituated to humans and aggressive towards them. • Concentrating deer and elk in human-settled areas can lead to an increase in vehicle collisions and conflicts between wildlife and pets. • Concentrating deer and elk can hurt habitat by encouraging excessive grazing. Every year, ODFW also sees seemingly healthy deer and elk die because they are fed the wrong food by people. According to the Mule Deer Foundation, the digestive tract of deer is different from cattle and elk in that they have a smaller rumen in relation to their body size, so they are more selective in their feeding. Diet requirements also change with the season and are best met by native forage, which consists mostly of weeds, leaves and twigs of woody shrubs. Deliberately feeding deer and elk may inhibit proper digestion and lead to starvation or infection. The ODFW does feed deer and elk at wildlife areas during the winter to keep them off adjacent agricultural lands where they damage crops. These feeding programs are long-term commitments that require significant financial and staffing resources. Feeding starts early in the season and continues daily until forage conditions improve.

have perished there but for the dropping of the two atom bombs in August 1945, which ended the war and liberated the death camps. At the luncheon, Thomas will retell his story of life in the concentration camp. It’s a fitting story to honor veterans this time of the year. Hope you can come and help celebrate a part of our history. After World War II, China was embroiled in a civil war, so the Thomas family decided to follow his grandparents to Turn to Luncheon, page 18

Sunriver resident Terry Thomas will address the Sunriver Men’s Club on Thursday, Nov. 10 at the Crosswater Grille. The talk is entitled “Rescue from China.” Thomas’ dramatic story begins in China. He was born of British parents in Tientsin in northern China. The first family members had arrived in China in 1863 and had developed a family business in the manufacture and export of Tientsin carpets. With the hostilities of WWII, the entire family was sent to a concentration camp in March of 1942. They likely would

Background information The UDRC planning team consists of the officers and committee chairs and alternate chairs. The team is responsible for working with the board of directors to bring new services and value to the coalition’s communities, improving our communications, enhancing our partnerships, developing clearer mission, goal priorities, funding to support the mission and goals and continuing to work with our federal, state, county and others to fund fuel reduction and water enhancement projects. The planning team meets monthly before the coalition’s board and partner meeting to plan the agenda and work on the mission, goals and projects.
Meetings are 1 to 1.5 hours. The president facilitates the monthly board and partner meetings, which are held every month except December and January. The meetings take two hours plus one hour for setup and tear down. Other duties include facilitating the annual operations plan, neighborhood meetings and fund raising. In the absence of the president, the vice president assumes the duties of the president and takes on special projects such as the annual appreciation meeting held in September and fundraising. The secretary’s duties Log attendance and determine a quorum of board members at meetings. Take written meeting minutes and distribute within one week for review. Maintain archive of meeting minutes, update and maintain bylaws. The president, VP and secretary positions take about 10 hours of work a month. The treasurer’s job takes about five hours a month. This position is responsible for reviewing the monthly accounting reports and monitoring cash accounts. The preparation of state and federal tax returns is done by the treasurer or past treasurer. The time required by the committee chairs and alternate chairs varies by committee but generally spend about 10 hours a month. The E-News editor compiles the E-News which is published up to 10 times a year and requires about five hours a month. For information, visit www.udrc.org or email carlj@ searchna.com

Former Mavericks property opening as fitness, aquatics center While work continues to obtain owner approval to change language in the River Village declarations to allow a permitted use of the former Mavericks property to include “assisted living facility” — new coowners Christian Myers and Benjamin Clapa will reopen Mavericks as Sunriver Fitness and Aquatics. “We are still pursuing the assisted living facility use,” said Myers. Of the 2,020 properties located in the River Village Master Village, 75 percent of
those properties must approve changing the declarations. Myers has received just over 1,000 approvals to date, and is still trying to reach some 700 who have yet to respond. “We need to obtain an answer one way or another,” said Myers. A soft opening of the fitness and aquatics is expected closer to the end of the year. Some swim offerings, including swim and a water polo teams, are expected to start utilizing the pool in early November. A new logo has been designed and work is underway

on new signage. Myers is also networking and researching what sort of programs they may offer. “We want to breathe life back into this facility,” said Myers. The property still includes the FlowRider wave machine, indoor pool, outdoor hot tub, fitness equipment, indoor and outdoor climbing walls, half basketball court, tanning bed and office spaces. The “living room” common area will also be available to rent for meetings, parties, reunions, weddings, etc. Despite being vacant for two years, Myers noted everything is in pretty good shape, but is doing some routine mainte-
nance including cleaning and painting. “Last winter a frozen pipe broke and flooded the living room,” he said. “Fortunately, the bank took care of new carpet, sheet rock and painting.” Use of the facility will be membership based designed around four primary functions: 1) to serve Sunriver’s residents
2) vacationers/renters 3) hosting events 4) and La Pine/Bend area residents. Myers is open to thoughts and ideas of what you’d like to see at the property, whether that includes year-round outdoor aquatics, activity field, a park or pickleball courts — whatever the idea, big or small — they’d like to hear from you. They are also looking for partnerships to offer a variety of services from fitness classes and SCUBA lessons to massage/ physical therapy offerings and activities for youngsters. “We are committed to Sunriver, are here to stay and serve the community,” said Myers.

Glass artists shine bright at Artists Gallery Fall doesn’t have a lock on all of the beautiful colors of the season. At the Artists Gallery Sunriver, color will glow in the windows by catching the brilliance from featured glass art that is positioned there. You have only to walk by the gallery to enjoy, but it is so much better if you come inside. A really good time to visit would be the Second Saturday celebration on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 4 to 6 p.m. Be prepared to enjoy not only conversation with the resident artists, but have a glass of wine, beer or soda and a bit of something to eat. Glass fusion artist Marily Badger has provided a new method for displaying her many art pieces by utilizing custom metal stands. The glass art fits seamlessly into the metal stands to make a beautiful way to optimize a light source to show off the pieces. Badger’s subject matter has enlarged from her whimsical Hawaiian-themed pieces to include some unique nature scenes. She uses a technique known
Becky Henson
Marily Badger
as kiln casting, a process in which objects are cast by directing molten glass into a mold where the glass solidifies. This technique has been used since the Egyptian period. Modern cast glass is formed by a variety of processes such as kiln casting – casting into sand or graphite or metal molds. Some of the artist’s pieces have more than 100 hours of slow and careful time in the kiln mostly during the slump
phase. One of Badger’s featured pieces is a 17 x 18 inch design titled “Dragon Fly Mist.” It was hand cast with hand cut pieces on a streaky, fully fused piece of glass. New to the gallery this year is stained glass artist Becky Henson. Her beautiful pieces are already a favorite of customers. The artist uses more traditional techniques to produce pieces with a modern flare. Central Oregon is an obvious inspira-
tion of her works — especially in a circular piece called “Three Sisters.” As with the incredible lighting and views of Central Oregon, no two pieces of the artist’s work are the same. Some pieces evoke a strong sense of quilting with the play of shape, pattern, and color that is so attractive on fabric but also lends itself beautifully to glass jewel tones.
Most recently, Henson created windows with secondhand items such as bevels from old lamps or old window frames giving the glass a wonderful new interpretation. Artists Gallery Sunriver is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver. For more information, call 541593-4382 or visit www.artists gallerysunriver.com

OREGON’S #1 REAL ESTATE TEAM - SELLING SUNRIVER Another award for Sunriver Brewing Co. In late September, Sunriver Brewing Company brought home a silver medal for D’Bomb from the Oregon Beer Awards Fresh Hop Competition in Hood River. The competition included 76 fresh hop beers from 51 different breweries from around the state. D’Bomb Fresh Hop IPA is loaded with fresh hop Amarillo hops from Crosby Hop Farms, located in Woodburn. “We love the fact that we can produce such a fantastic fresh hop beer from farms so close to home,” said Ryan Duley, Sunriver Brewing Company director of sales and marketing. In October, Sunriver Brewing also brought home a silver medal for Rippin Northwest Ale in the American-Style Strong Pale Ale category during the Great American Beer Festival. This category is the third largest amongst the 96 beer style categories at this nationally recognized and prestigious competition. “Winning a silver medal is a tremendous victory for the entire Sunriver Brewing team,” said Brett Thomas, head brewer. “We’re honored to be competing at this level, especially against some of the finest hop-forward breweries in the nation” Sunriver Brewing Company’s pub in The Village at Sunriver opened in the summer of 2012. Recognizing the original pub would soon outgrow demand, a 12,500 square foot building was purchased in the Sunriver Business Park in January 2014, and the company began brewing at a capacity of 2,100 barrels. Since then, the brewery has expanded several times to brew more than 6,000 barrels this spring. Another expansion is proposed to start early next year. Head brewer Brett Thomas prides himself on making the highest quality beer. Since 2014, Sunriver Brewing Company has garnered nine national/international awards including three gold, three silver and one bronze at the North American Brewers Association, a silver medal at the

Whimsical creatures highlight Resort exhibit By Billye Turner The Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery joins the annual Traditions celebration with an exhibit titled “Natural and Whimsical Creatures” — featuring the work of Barbara Slater in the upper gallery and Karen Bandy in the lower gallery. The exhibit opens the gallery’s winter quarter on Nov. 22 and is open through Feb. 24. Karen Bandy, an artist since childhood, studied art at the University of Oregon exploring drawing, painting, sculpture and jewelry design. Bandy created a career in jewelry design while living in Portland, but upon moving to Bend in 1987, began a second in painting. Bandy was inspired by, “the natural beauty of the sage and juniper, pines and bitterbrush as well as seeing and being seen by animals great and small.” The artist’s acrylic paintings of

munity Theater, would like to honor the “movers and shakers” of Sunriver history by including them in an original play. Who was Mary McCallum and why was the beautiful park named after her? Who started the Sunriver Nature Center? Whose idea was it to start an observatory and how did that happen? How did the women’s club come into being? Who founded the Artists Gallery? Who was in charge of the circle layout when designing Sunriver? Who brought in the shops and restaurants ? The list goes on and on. Kristy would like to hear the stories of these “doers” and bring them to life on stage at one of the Sunriver potlucks next year. If you have a story to tell, please contact her so she may include this founder of Sunriver history in the play. Please don’t hesitate to let her know about someone who made things happen in our community. It is all here because someone had an idea and worked hard to bring their vision to reality.

How you can help the Christmas Sharing Program
By Tim Loewen The Sunriver Community Christmas Sharing Program will distribute food and children’s gifts to deserving families in the Sunriver and the surrounding community. Each family receives food for a full Christmas dinner as well as gifts for the children. It is only possible with the generosity and participation of individuals and the community at large. More than 200 children and families were served in 2015. This Christmas food and gift program replaces the monthly Care and Share food distribution to needy families. Last month a Bingo Night was held at SHARC with all proceeds benefitting this cause. More than 130 people attended and participants enjoyed food and beverages provided by Good2Go, beer
from Sunriver Brewing and other beverages provided by Obsidian Hair spa. Local businesses donated services and products as prizes for winning bingo players. If you missed Bingo Night, there’s still ways to support the cause: • Encourage deserving families to participate. Nov. 28 is the application deadline for families to request food and gifts. Applications are available at any of the locations listed below. • Pick up and fill a grocery bag with food. Bags are available after Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Holy Trinity Church/Sunriver Christian Fellowship, Community Bible Church, Obsidian Hair Spa, Sunriver Fire Department, Sunriver Library, Sunriver Post Office, SROA and through the Sunriver Women’s Club and Sunriver Men’s Club. Drop
off filled bags at the churches or Sunriver Fire Department by Dec. 9. • Donate cash or checks that will be used to purchase gifts and food. Giving trees will be located at Holy Trinity Church/Sunriver Christian Fellowship, Community Bible Church, The Door and Obsidian Hair Spa until Tuesday, Nov. 15. Giving tree donation envelopes can be dropped off at the locations listed above on or before Dec. 9. • Have your hair cut and styled. On Friday, Dec. 9, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Obsidian Hair Spa will donate 100 percent of their proceeds, including tips, to the Christmas Sharing Program. Call Dawn or Pennie at Obsidian Hair Spa to make an appointment, 541593-1978.

Rotarians continue to support local nonprofits By Mark Dennett In this column we share what local Rotarians, your Sunriver friends and neighbors, are doing to help south Deschutes County. Rotarians participate in first Newberry Nibble The La Pine Community Kitchen and St. Vincent De Paul Social Services of La Pine presented an evening of food and fun at a joint fundraiser in October called the Newberry Nibble. Think “Bite of Bend” but on a smaller scale. While a sell-out crowd mingled and sampled food from Sunriver area restaurants, an interactive mur-
der mystery “Murder in the Ice House,” written by Teri Myers, was unfolded featuring Rotarians including myself, Janice Dost and Kim Hafermalz. A special thank you to everyone who attended to help raise money for these local nonprofits. Hitting the road, again In 2015 the club joined Oregon’s Adopt a Highway program providing trash clean up along Highway 97 between the Cottonwood and Sunriver exits. Under the direction of the club’s service project director, Rotarian Laurie Henberg, a team of Rotarians spent several hours cleaning
the road in early October. A special thanks to the following Rotarians for their “service above self ” effort: Cheri Martinen, Ron and Jackie Schmid, Rob Foster, Ray Kuratek, Dennis Smeage, Bette Butler, Jeff Ruble, Marv and Laurie Henberg. Looking for project ideas The Rotary Club of Sunriver will be selecting a community project in 2017 to support with a major $50,000 gift, which was put aside over the past 20 years from annual fundraising projects. A Rotary committee is now exploring a permanent Turn to Rotary, page 33
THANK YOU Newberry Habitat for Humanity would like to thank Sunriver Resort for raising over $61,000 during The Showcase and Crosswater Invitational on August 26-27, 2016. All proceeds were donated to Newberry Habitat for Humanity.
Half price yard debris recycling Through Nov. 12 (closed Nov. 6 & 11) residents are encouraged to define their defensible space by taking advantage of the half price yard debris days. Residents can recycle their yard debris at Deschutes Recycling in Bend for half price at $2 per cubic yard. FireFree encourages residents to complete their fall clean up and maintenance of defensible space by bringing branches, leaves, shrubs and pine needles to Deschutes Recycling during this event. Residents can take advantage of this event as an alternative to fall burning and recycle the combustible vegetation inside the 30-100 feet of defensible space around their homes. “Burning yard debris is not allowed in Sunriver and inside the city of Bend, so FireFree pro-
vides this option for residents to recycle their debris inexpensively and legally,” said Alison Green, FireFree coordinator. The fall event is a great opportunity for residents to get a jump-start on preparing their property for next fire season. “We hope residents will use this half-price event to clean up their leaves, pine needles, and yard debris to provide a safe defensible space around their homes,” said Brad Bailey, president of Deschutes Recycling. “Taking these steps early is key to our community being prepared for next summer’s fire season.” FireFree is a year-round effort to educate community members and increase resident participaTurn to Recycling page 32

Volunteer writer Kathie Thatcher puts her humorous spin on the monthly logs provided by the Sunriver Police Department. This is only a sampling of the month’s total call log. 9/1 - Assist with an intoxicated male who fell and hit his head. He was transported to SCMC. 9/1 - RP found a bag of drugs in her driveway. The drugs will be destroyed. 9/2 - Report of a boat parked on Aspen Lane outside the allowed time frame. Another officer had written a warning two days before. Citation issued. 9/2 - Parking problem on Bittern Lane. There were at least 10 vehicles at the residence, several spilling out on to the roadside and common area. Citations were issued. 9/3 - Report of subjects from two different vehicles acting suspiciously in the Sunriver Business Park. Upon arrival, one vehicle GOA. Officer made contact with the two people in the second car. Both were DWS and were advised not to drive. One of them stated she would contact a friend. RP was told to call back if the vehicle left which it did. Officer on the lookout. 9/4 - Conducted a consent search in vehicle on South Century Drive. Passenger cited for possession of methadone. 9/6 RP reported losing a key chain with a Honda key fob, a Subaru key fob, another car key, two house keys and a mailbox key. Looks like they’ll probably be staying pretty close to home (if they can get in). 9/7 - Subject needed help locating his residence. Officer contacted his brother who provided the address. 9/8 - Report of intoxicated subjects at the lodge. One was evicted for being loud and rude to the staff. Upon officer’s arrival, the subjects were still at the guest room, packing to leave. They were advised they couldn’t drive in their condition, so they called a taxi. Twenty minutes later their vehicle had left. 9/10 - Responded to a call of a female yelling, “I’m lost!” A woman was contacted near Wild Lily and Abbot Drive. She said she was fine and appeared to be acting normally. While checking the area, office noticed her talking to a man near the bike tunnel by circle 1. She started crying and talking loudly. The man stated they were having a domestic issue. They then walked back to their rental on Squirrel Lane and advised that they were going to bed. 9/15 - Conducted traffic stop on a vehicle after observing it driving on the bike path near Cottonwood Road. Driver was arrested on charges of kidnapping, custodial interference DUII, reckless endangering and DWS. Things can’t get much worse.
Cooler temps puts an end to fire season The Central Oregon Fire Chiefs announced that with cooler and damper weather, along with more of the same in the forecast, wildland fire season officially ended on Oct. 15. The fire chiefs thank everyone for their vigilance in getting all our communities safely through another wildland fire season. In select areas, residential debris and pile burning, is now permitted. Check with your local fire department for details, requirements, and a permit. Note: Some municipalities and homeowner associations, such as Sunriver and the City of Bend, do not allow open burning at any time during the year within their jurisdictions.
The Central Oregon Fire Chiefs Association urges homeowners to prepare their property for the next fire season by thinning and removing ladder fuels from their property as well as other Firewise measures. Chipping on site and/or hauling to the local transfer site are viable options. Central Oregon Fire Chiefs federal partners (U.S. Forest Service & Bureau of Land Management) will be executing prescribed burns throughout the region this fall. These prescribed burns will be conducted under carefully planned conditions with federal fire resources, professional fire managers and firefighters on scene, during favorable weather
conditions. These prescribed burns improve forest health and reduce the forest fuels in order to lower the wildfire risk to our communities in the future. Residents are strongly encouraged to contact their local fire protection agencies for additional burning information and regulations. All Central Oregon fire departments and rural fire districts will continue to monitor weather and fuel moisture conditions in their districts and may make modifications on a day-to-day basis. Please call your local outdoor burning information line for current conditions. If conditions become dryer, individual agencies may choose to close burning.
October proclaimed as fire prevention month
In support of the theme of National Fire Prevention Week, and at the request of the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal, Gov. Kate Brown has proclaimed October as Oregon Fire Prevention Month. Oregon’s theme mirrors the national theme “Don’t Wait Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 years.” “Smoke alarms are your first line of defense against deadly fire, but they can’t protect you if they don’t work,” said Jim Walker, State Fire Marshal. “Smoke alarms don’t last forever, if your alarm is more than 10 years old, replace it.” As a service to owners, the Sunriver Fire Department will install and test your purchased battery-operated smoke detectors. “We also conduct home safety inspections that goes well beyond smoke alarms and fire safety,” said Art Hatch, Sunriver Fire Department chief. Home safety inspections include checking that all detectors are in working order as well as providing a general exterior and interior inspection of the home looking for any hazards relating to cooking, heating and electrical to the garage, hazardous materials
storage as well as general fire and life safety. Inspections are also available to Sunriver-area businesses. Between 2011 and 2015, home fires killed 143 people and injured another 980 in Oregon. Working smoke alarms provide an early warning of fire, allowing vital minutes for you to escape, and increase your chances of survival. Here are some additional fire safety tips: • For increased protection, have working smoke alarms on every
level of your home (including the basement), in each bedroom, and outside any sleeping area (hallways). • Look at the date on the back of your smoke alarm, if it’s 10 years or older replace it. • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for the type of battery to use in your smoke alarm. • Smoke alarms with a non-replaceable (long-life) battery are designed to be effective for up Turn to Fire, page 37

Author events focus on wartime bravery
By Deon Stonehouse, Sunriver Books and Music Saturday, Nov. 12 at 5 p.m. we will explore the early days of flight and the role of women through a presentation by Laurie Notaro on her historic fiction, “Crossing the Horizon,” centered on three real women who risked all for the freedom of the skies. The presentation will include a visual component too, always an interesting addition. The three main characters could not be more different. Elsie Mackay thrived on adventure, a British aristocrat who wanted to go faster, higher. During World War I she volunteered, the woman could drive like a maniac and the soldiers adored her. One of the flyboys, Tony Joyson-Wreford, taught her to fly and she was hooked. Lord Inchcape doted on his impetuous, brave daughter, even though she caused him

many a tense moment with her high jinx. They suffered a period of estrangement when she wed against his wishes. Ruth Elder hailed from Alabama. She won a beauty queen contest becoming “Miss Sudsy Soap,” pocketing the prize money to finance her flying lessons. A fine looking woman she might be, nonetheless she was no pushover, when the guys got fresh she was able to wallop them. Lyle, her husband, encouraged her passion for flight. Mabel Boll was a dame who
knew how to have a good time; her pastimes involved drinking, gambling, and jewelry. If she had been a guy, she would have been called a ladies man or an adventurer, as a woman she was a gold digger. Her husband was fabulously wealthy and died, leaving a fortune to his widow. A chance meeting aboard a ship between Elsie and Mabel fueled an interest in flying for the young heiress. In 1927 Charles Lindberg’s historic flight from New York to Paris would ignite a passion for flying competitively and

setting records. If a man could cross the Atlantic, they thought they could too and each woman was eager to be first. Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Beryl Markham are well known names from the early days of aviation. There were others, women who risked all for the freedom of the skies. Saturday, Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. John Bruning will give a presentation with a video component on “Indestructible: One Man’s Rescue Mission That Changed The Course of WWII.” This is edge of your seat non-fiction that takes the reader into a story of bravery and ingenuity set in the Pacific theater of World War II. Pappy Gunn, retired from the Navy after serving in World War I, was living the good life with his family in Manilla as operations manager for Philippine airlines. Then Pearl Harbor happened and everything changed. Pappy was called back to serve as a captain in the
Army Air Corps and ordered to fly the top brass out of harm’s way. It was clear the Japanese were heading for Manilla, but MacArthur’s people led Pappy to believe there was ample time to remove their men from the area then come back and fly his family out. Pappy was half a world away when the Japanese, not known for their kindness to prisoners, took Pappy’s wife Polly and his four children. A chest full of medals attest to the ferocious way Pappy did his duty; a Silver Star, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and nine Purple Hearts. Pappy was a man who had his priorities straight, his family was never out of his thoughts, rescuing them his top priority. He was also a man who believed strongly in doing things his way, enraging highly ranked desk bound officers while winning the admiration of those fighting in the field. Turn to Author, page 31

Dr. Tom Cage is accused of murdering his former nurse Viola. His son, Penn, who
is the mayor of Natchez, is trying desperately to prove his father’s innocence. Dr. Cage has since been silent and on the run, hiding from the law and from the very nasty group called the Double Eagles as well. In part II, The Bone Tree, Dr. Cage is still hiding from everyone. Though he would like to turn himself in and have his case handled through the courts, he knows that he cannot do that and expect to live. The Double Eagles are similar to the mafia in that their people are everywhere. The FBI has reason to believe that this group is at least in part responsible for the death of President Kennedy as well as many civil rights workers of the 1960s. John Kaiser, who is leading the ongoing investigation, also believes that Dr. Cage may have been a part of that conspiracy. The Double Eagles want him dead because he

Pandora moth leaving its mark on the forest By Robbie Flowers, USDA Forest Service Entomologist What is causing recent defoliation of pines in forest areas to the west and south of Bend?

August and during outbreaks, large numbers can be seen on trees or resting on homes or other structures nearby, especially near outdoor lights. The females lay eggs in the fall, which hatch into larvae that feed in small colonies on the current year’s foliage. The larvae overwinter at the base of needles and resume feeding the following spring; this is when the heaviest defoliation occurs. Larval feeding is usually completed by late June and larvae crawl down from the trees and burrow into the soil where they transform into pupae. This is when they are most often observed, especially along roads and trails within outbreak areas. Adult moths then emerge the following summer.
PARTIES
What is currently being done to manage the Pandora moth outbreak? Pandora moth outbreaks are usually allowed to subside naturally. A large number of natural enemies generally keep populations at low levels or contribute to the collapse of outbreaks. One of the most important is a disease caused by a virus, which rapidly infects larvae. Small mammals also feed on pupae in the soil and have been reported as an important natural control. Several birds are also predators, feeding on eggs and larvae, as well as parasitic wasps, which also attack eggs and larvae. Periodic management of pine stands, including thinning, prescribed burning, or other treatments focused on maintaining the appropriate species and densities for the site are an important factor in allowing affected trees to withstand the effects of defoliation and to recover after it occurs. Management efforts such as those recommended by the Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project in forest areas accomplish many objectives, included increasing space between trees, which help to mitigate the impacts of defoliators like Pandora moth and reduce tree mortality from other damaging insects like bark beetles.

Bend bat tests positive for rabies A bat found in late September on the west side of Bend has tested positive for rabies. Rabies is transmitted through the bites of an infected animal and while post exposure vaccination is effective, the best plan is prevention. Deschutes County Health Services reminds you to take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your pets from rabies: • Avoid physical contact with bats whether or not they appear healthy, sick, alive or dead. Be sure to keep children and pets away from bats.

• Do not hand feed or otherwise handle stray animals and wildlife. • Vaccinate all dogs and cats against rabies. This protects them and provides an immune barrier between humans and wild animals. Bats have, on occasion, accidentally managed to work their way into Sunriver homes — either through an open door or window or by wriggling through any small hole in your chimney, attic space, etc. Bats generally hibernate between November and April. Leaving a door or window open will often lure the bat to move back outside, but should you be unable to vacate your unwanted guest, you can
contact the Sunriver Nature Center at 541-593-4394. While a healthy bat poses little threat to humans and
play a valuable role in nature, direct contact should always be avoided. A bat that is sick may be seen flopping around on the ground or otherwise acting unusual. If you find a sick bat or other sick wildlife on your property, take children and pets indoors and call the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 541947-2950. To protect your pet, make sure their rabies vaccinations are up to date. Dogs, cats and
ferrets should be vaccinated against rabies starting at three to six months of age. After initial vaccination, a booster is required in one year and then every three years afaf ter that.
Under Oregon law, dogs and cats or ferrets that do not have current vaccinations and are suspected of exposure to rabies must be euthanized or placed under strict quarantine for six months.
If a person or pet does come in physical contact with a bat or is bitten by an animal, promptly report it to Deschutes County Animal Control at 541-693-6911 or Deschutes County Public Health at 541-322-7418. For more information about rabies, please visit the Oregon Health Authority website at http://public.health.oregon.gov/Disea sesConditions/DiseasesAZ/ Pages/disease.aspx?did=41 or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/rabies/

Forest Service reminds recreationists about e-bikes Given the growing popularity of electric bikes (e-bikes) in Central Oregon, the Forest Service wants to remind the public about how e-bikes can be used to recreate on national forest lands and where e-bikes are not appropriate. Although e-bikes are allowed on Sunriver’s pathways, they are not allowed on the Sun-Lava path from Sunriver to the Benham Falls Day Use or Lava Lands Visitor Center. “The Sun-Lava path is designated a non-motorized trail,” said Lisa Machnik, USFS Deschutes National Forest recreation, partnerships, lands and archaeology staff officer. E-bikes are not allowed on trails designated for non-motorized use. Non-motorized trails
include trails like hiker, horse or mountain bike trails. E-bikes, like other motorized transportation, also are not allowed to travel cross-country off trail. There are no exceptions. E-bikes are not considered an assistive device meeting the legal definition of a wheelchair or mobility device giving them an exception to the Forest Service’s Travel Management Rule. The Department of Justice, under their Rule on Other Power Driven Mobility Devices in September 2010 affirmed that the use of any Other Power Driven Mobility Device is limited to where the use of that device (i.e. an e-bike) is designated for use by all. Under the Forest Service’s national Travel Management Rule e-bikes are classified as self-pro-

Letters from readers Chorus of One:
Protecting Sunriver from wildfires
By Ernst H. Gemassmer Forest fires are an existential threat to Sunriver and our actions should reflect that reality. The forest fire outside of Sunriver was a grim reminder we have to be vigilant in protecting our community. I decided to write as a call to action. I purchased my Sunriver lot decades ago and built my house 25 years ago. At that time my lot, and the surrounding common area, were covered by an abundance of small lodge pole pines. Vegetation was dense, making it impossible to pass through. When clearing my property, the contractor was only permitted to cut and thin trees a few feet beyond the perimeter of the house. The house had to have a shake roof and no other roofing materials were permitted. I remember having discussions with SROA staff regarding actual fire danger from the densely forested area around my house as well as across the river. A few years ago I decided to replace my shake roof and was informed that the rules had changed. New regulations now required fireproof roofing. I gladly complied. Removing lower limbs from trees on private property, keeping limbs from touching the structures, as well as removing flammable bushes became an integral part of fire protection. It is most regrettable to note that many Sunriver owners have not followed these essential rules. Their inaction endangers
Community garden
Ed Lavery, Sunriver Wouldn’t it be great if the Sunriver Resort or the Sunriver Homeowners Association sponsored a community garden? Initial costs would be minimal; a few acres of unused land, deer fencing, raised hot beds, irrigation. Potential participants probably already have the necessary gardening tools. The Resort could use the vegetables and herbs in their restaurants and spa, as well as share them with the participating Sunriver community. It’s the new tennis/golf club for high-end resorts. Share the risk; pay to play. Eat the harvest in most years; eat the loss if there is a bad one. I wonder who will do it first?
Recycling center needs updating
Alex & Nancy Beattie, Sunriver Our family has been coming to Sunriver for the last 13 years. During this time we have seen significant improvement in the amenities offered and the infrastructure. The paths and roads are in great shape, the village is much improved as is the boat launching area. However, the recycling center is worse than ever. Twice during our current stay all of the bins were overflowing and trash was left to accumulate on the ground. In times past, a SUNRIVER SCENE •
person had to wait to park so they could deposit their trash. The existing area is clearly too small. Nancy and I only come to Sunriver in the spring and fall and have experienced the above noted problems. One can only imagine what it must be like in the summer! Solution to these problems clearly requires increasing the capacity to handle recycled materials. However, the existing site is limited in its ability to expand and another site or an additional site seems to be a logical solution. An additional site would reduce the driving for many residences and perhaps increase the amount of recycling. I am sure that other solutions are feasible; the board of directors just needs to give this issue some priority and serious study. The SROA has spent a lot of money in the past couple of years on the roads and paths. We believe that this activity has been pretty much completed and that there should be money available for updating the recycling center. It is long overdue.
our entire community. A number of issues require urgent, corrective action. • Oblige owners to remove tree limbs touching structure, cut limbs to a certain level above the ground, remove flammable bushes. • Remove trees, which have fallen due to disease or storms, on private and common property. • Establish a more aggressive tree-thinning program, to ensure fire safe spacing between trees. The thinning performed on Cottonwood should serve as a good example of tree spacing. • Enter into discussions with the Forest Service and other stakeholders to ensure thinning and dead tree removal from both sides of the river. • Establish a Board level task force to address and resolve the above issues as soon as possible. Thinning on common property is performed by the association, representing good progress towards fire protection. However, challenges continue on both sides of the river. There are numerous dead trees killed by the beetle infestation. No thinning has taken place in an area near the airport. Is it really impossible to convince the Forest Service to reduce fire danger? We have to do everything possible to ensure the USFS actively engages in remedial work. We love the natural beauty of Sunriver and its surroundings. However, we must do everything possible to ensure that there is a practical fire protective zone around Sunriver, as well as fire safe practices in Sunriver. married in 1964.

survive to mourn the loss of this extraordinary woman. Midge was raised on a homestead family ranch in Tiller, Oregon southeast of Roseburg. Her parents started with 40 acres, operating a true cattle ranch. This was the backdrop of her life; love of family, the natural Margarette “Midge” Ann landscape around her, a hard work ethic and love and Thomas June 24, 1947 - affinity with creatures great and small.

family. She lovingly wore the title with pride (and a grin). Her zeal for life included a variety of business endeavors throughout her lifetime. These included horse stabling, drafting instructor at the community college, partner in husband Gene’s construction company (Heritage Homes), floral shop owner with daughter Laura and real estate agent and founder of Artists Gallery in The Village at Sunriver. Gene and Midge moved to Sunriver in 2007, and found retirement was no time to slow down. Golf fueled Midge’s spirited and competitive nature, and she played regularly with the Sunriver Women’s 9 Hole and Central Oregon Senior Women’s Golf Association. As her cancer progressed, she played with son Robert and Gene whenever she was able. In spite of the ravages of her cancer, Midge spent the last five-plus years doing the things she loved and helped create the large art family at Artists Gallery Sunriver. She and Gene managed space and helped steer the gallery’s accounting. Mostly she helped to make the artists feel her love and passion

for art. Midge mastered the skill of metal art through perseverance, and produced lovely and sought-after pieces. The last 18 months of her life she apprenticed her daughter Laura and grandson Ryan in creating metal art — continuing her legacy in the gallery just as she intended. Midge gave her all to create a life full of meaning, passion, enthusiasm and love. The greater family she created in Sunriver and beyond feel the loss deeply.
