NW Natural to purchase Sunriver Resort utility companies NW Natural Water Company, LLC (NW Natural Water), a subsidiary of Northwest Natural Holding Company, has signed an agreement with Sunriver Resort LP to acquire Sunriver Water, LLC and Sunriver Environmental, LLC. Sunriver is one of the largest resort communities in the Pacific Northwest. The water and wastewater utilities serve a combined 9,400 connections and employ 21 people across both companies. “This is an important acquisition and an exciting step in building our water business,” said David H. Anderson, NW Natural Holdings president and CEO. “We were attracted by these companies’ legacy of high-quality service, talented workforce and expertise in wastewater operations. We look forward to providing safe, reliable and affordable service to the Sunriver community, just like we do every day for our natural gas and water utility customers.” “We’re pleased to partner with NW Natural Water in this transaction. They have an excellent reputation and commitment to the communities they serve, and will bring value in providing a vital public service to Sunriver,” said Tom O’Shea, managing director of Sunriver Resort LP. “Meanwhile, this sale will allow us to focus long term on our core business of resort operations, club management, real estate and development.” The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the Oregon Public Utilities Commission for the water distribution acquisition, and is expected to close in the first half of 2019. This marks NW Natural Water’s fifth announced acquisition within the past year, and its first in the wastewater sector. It recently completed its acquisition of Falls Water Company in Idaho, and has additional acquisitions pending in T  U,   SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN.

The new Discovery Center will combine the best features of the Sunriver Nature Center and Oregon Observatory.

Nature Center major fundraising campaign announced Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory (SNCO) just announced a $5 million comprehensive fundraising campaign to expand and update the current facilities. “Sunriver has undergone a renaissance, with increased visitor numbers and programs. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, it’s time for SNCO to create a campus that will serve our community as the hub of environmental learning in Central Oregon for the next 50 years,” said Dave Buhaly, SNCO Board President. The campus expansion calls for a 7,700-square foot Discovery Center that will house permanent and special exhibits and provide for six animal enclosures, offering both interior and exterior viewing. The Earth & Sky theater will house full planetarium projection system capabilities as well as allow for traditional presentation of nature films, guest lectures, and seating for up to 94 visitors. In addition to the Discovery Center,

an 1,800-square foot pavilion will be constructed on the bank of Lake Aspen to serve as an outdoor education space in support of the nearly 5,000 K-12 students that visit the eight-acre campus annually. “We have outgrown our existing facilities for both the nature center and observatory,” said Marv Henberg, Comprehensive Campaign Committee chair. “The current nature center building cannot accommodate the nearly five times the number of visitors it was originally planned for. There is no space for rotating or traveling exhibits that speak to the contemporary concerns or themes,” he said. “Often, collections cannot be displayed because of lack of space. Attendance at the Oregon Observatory now overflows the parking lot and, in peak season, guests are waiting sometimes over 30 minutes to access a T  C,  

Sunriver Resort’s management company sold to Hyatt Hotels Lowe and partner Geolo Capital have reached an agreement to sell international lifestyle hotel company Two Roads Hospitality to Hyatt Hotels Corporation. Two Roads Hospitality is a global operator of independent, boutique and lifestyle hotels, resorts and vacation residences. The company was created in 2016 when Destination Hotels, a wholly owned Lowe subsidiary, merged with Commune Hotels and Resorts, a Geolo-owned company, establishing Two Roads as the largest global collection of lifestyle hospitality brands. Sunriver Resort has been operated un-

der the umbrella of Destination Hotels since 1993. The acquisition consists of a base purchase price of $480 million, with the potential for Hyatt to invest up to an additional $120 million in the aggregate, contingent on the outcome of certain terms to be individually defined after closing. The addition of Alila, Destination, Joie de Vivre, Thompson and Tommie brands to the Hyatt portfolio will strengthen Hyatt’s lifestyle and wellbeing offerings for high-end travelers worldwide.

“When Lowe formed Destination Hotels in 1973 there were two properties in its management portfolio,” said Robert J. Lowe, Lowe chairman. “This transaction, 45 years later, demonstrates the strength of the brand built by many outstanding team members who led the company through those decades of growth and success.” Two Roads currently manages more than 85 properties and more than 17,000 rooms across eight countries, representing approximately $2 billion in total property T  R,   PRSRT STD.

The art and magic of politeness Politeness: Behavior that is respectful and considerate to other people. One of the things that I was taught from an early age is that I was expected to be polite to others. I learned things like opening doors for others, saying thank you when someone else helps Bob Nelson you, and saying please when asking for something. (As an aside, one of our grand children kinda knows to do this but it comes out “peas.” We will keep trying.) We were also taught that being polite was having good manners. I’m not referring here to the things that Emily Post described in her book on etiquette. I still can’t remember which side the fork and knife are on. Good manners came down to respecting others. For example, it might mean giving your seat up on a crowded bus, especially to our elders or to the mother trying to manage very young children. It also meant that in school you should raise your hand and have the teacher call on us rather than interrupting others. This early training stayed with me and was quite useful. At one point in my career I was hired to “turn

things around” at a middle school that was failing its students. To be certain, the turn around involved having clear expectations and consequences for behavior. But what I found to be profoundly useful was to be polite to students. This involved addressing them as Mr. Jones or Miss Smith. These were emerging adolescents who were unruly by nature. But by greeting them as though they were adults they became much more respectful and better behaved. Pretty simple but it worked wonders. Being polite can be a powerful tool in having and retaining good relations with others. I also learned early on that you can’t legislate politeness. Fast forward to today. As I listen to the news or watch our political leaders, I’m saddened to see that politeness is being trampled upon. I watch our leaders attacking, interrupting, talking over or almost yelling at others. Listening has become a lost art. What has happened to being polite to one another? Being polite is really very easy to do. It involves small actions. The other day I was shopping at the north store and came out with a full cart. As I finished loading my car, I started to get the cart and return it to the store. A gentleman who had pulled in next to me was getting out of his car. Just as I was reaching the cart, he looked at me and said “I’ll take that in for

you.” I responded with “Hey, thanks a lot” to which he responded, “Glad to help.” This small act of politeness had a powerful effect. He felt good helping me and I left with a smile on my face and an appreciation for his kind act. It all took less than eight seconds! Recently we have had to address increasing behavior that has been disrespectful and inconsiderate. In response, the SROA Board has adopted a “civility code” and associated consequences. While the policy is directed specifically at the way staff members have been treated at times, the expectation is that all owners and visitors behave in a considerate and respectful manner toward one another. Sunriver has long prided itself as being a welcoming community. Sunriver is a magical place to be. We come here to relax, to feel safe, and to enjoy all the amenities and our natural environment. This applies to owners as well as visitors. Rules by and of themselves do not create and sustain the feeling of belonging. In the end, it is collective human behavior that nourishes a climate of welcoming. It’s about walking the talk. I look at it this way. If practicing politeness worked with emerging adolescents in middle school, it can work about anywhere.

SUNRIVER SCENE • NOVEMBER 2018

Dan Cheeseman, before (left) and after (right).

By Andrew Blaylock, SROA Events Coordinator Everyone can agree that fitness is an important part of living a healthy lifestyle, but like most things worth doing, it doesn’t come easy. Maintaining physical health takes time, dedication and motivation, the latter of which can be the most difficult to come by. Sometimes the best way to motivate ourselves is to look to those around us. Be it our friends, our neighbors or our family – the people closest to us can be our greatest source of inspiration. Speaking with guests at SHARC, our staff has recently found inspiration in a Sunriver owner. Dan Cheeseman, 35, lives in Sunriver with his wife, Beth. Whether he’s watching, playing or coaching, soccer has always been a huge part of his identity. After a lifetime of playing the sport, it abruptly ended after a car accident on Dec. 2, 2013. Although Cheeseman was still able to watch and coach soccer, the loss of playing – or even being able to exercise at all – resulted in a weight gain that reached 247 pounds. Dan and his wife moved to Sunriver in early 2017. Soon after, Cheeseman’s mother-inlaw and a fellow Sunriver owner, Karrie, decided to start training for a half marathon. That November, she completed her goal of running in Disney’s Super Hero Half Marathon. Inspired by Karrie, Cheeseman made a decision on Dec. 1 to start exercising at SHARC’s member fitness center. Not realizing just how life changing this simple promise to himself would be, he lost 70 pounds within nine months. With the goal to play soccer again, Cheesman treated his resolution to exercise as reha-

bilitation. “Focus on form,” he would tell himself. He was not trying to impress anyone; he was striving for improvement, or in his words, “to be better than I was when I started.” Cheeseman began his regime by lifting five pound weights, not because he couldn’t handle more, but to get his muscles accustomed to the motion and using proper form. He would concentrate on his arms one day, his legs the next, then back to arms the third day, etc. He did this for 30-45 minutes a day, five days a week, and after three weeks had lost nearly 15 pounds. His reward after each workout: a cup of coffee from the owners’ lounge, offered to SROA owners every morning from 6:30-10:30. It was a simple, yet effective motivator. Surprisingly, Cheeseman didn’t make huge changes in

his diet. He continued eating as he did before, but with small snacks between meals to keep his metabolism up. By the end of February, he weighed less than 200 pounds. Along with his new workout routine, he began playing indoor soccer on Tuesday, and each week he was able to stay on the field just a little bit longer. As the weight continued to melt away, he felt a fresh sense of self-confidence – feeling better both physically and mentally. With a rekindled passion for his favorite sport, Cheeseman felt happier than ever before and as though he had rediscovered his identity. Cheeseman continues to use SHARC’s fitness center five days a week. He never pushes himself to the point of complete exhaustion. That, he believes, only leads to burning yourself out and feeling sore for days on

end which is a great excuse for not going to the gym. “Know your limits,” he said. For those out there wishing to lose weight or to improve their own physical fitness, he has some simple advice: whatever it is you’re doing, “make it so you can be successful.” If you’re not feeling particularly well that day, it’s ok to lower the intensity of the workout. “Focus on the feel, not the number,” he said. If you’re in need of some guidance in the form of a workout routine, do what Cheeseman did: Google it. He simply took elements from multiple routines

✃

and pieced them together into something that worked for him. Whether you’re looking to lose weight or just to be healthier, it takes time to see results. Instead of concentrating on the outcome, take the time to recognize your commitment to bettering yourself, how far you’ve come and how you feel. Patience is paramount in maintaining physical fitness, and it’s a whole lot easier with a like-minded community. The way Cheeseman stayed motivated through it all was not only inspiration from his mother-inlaw, but from the people he saw every day exercising at SHARC. Fellow owners, all with a common goal of physical wellbeing and exercising together, are a daily source of inspiration. Just by showing up, you never know who might be inspired by you. For those who haven’t been to SHARC’s member fitness center recently, changes are being made to utilize the space more efficiently and accommodate those with limited mobility. A massage table has been added for stretching and the strength and cardio equipment will be repositioned in November to provide a more user-friendly experience while still abiding by ADA guidelines. Stop by, check out the changes and enjoy a post-workout cup of coffee.

John (Jack) B. Gilbert

orn July 17, 1929, John Gilbert of Sunriver, Oregon died October 5, 2018 at age 89. John was born in Freeport, Illinois to Harry and Sybil Gilbert. He attended Shattuck/St. Mary’s School in Faribault, Minnesota and Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa. After serving in the US Army from 1953 to 1955, John moved to Palo Alto, California where he met and later married the love of his life, Mary Louise Cuthbertson. They continued to live in Palo Alto where John worked for many years for Allstate Insurance before retiring to Sunriver in 1992. John and Mary truly enjoyed the central Oregon lifestyle - playing golf, walking and swimming their dogs and various volunteer work. Survivors include his wife Mary, their two sons, Gregory B. Gilbert of Menlo Park, CA and Mark H. Gilbert of Weimar, CA, their daughter-in-law Kelly Gilbert of Weimar, CA and their granddaughter Delaney Jaenne Gilbert of Loomis, CA. John asked that any memorial contributions be made to the Humane Society of Central Oregon. The family will celebrate John’s life in Palo Alto in a private family gathering in a few weeks.

Several staff members took a shine to the shy girl and provided fresh water and fed her food scraps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hoping to gain her trust and eventually capture her. In September, Sunriver Police began sharing the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story on social media â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hoping an owner would come forward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but without success.

grow and we all became very attached to her.â&#x20AC;? Once the summer crowds were gone, things slowed and the outdoor pools closed, Seamons said the dog spent more time inside the fence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often lounging and napping on the grass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She treated it like it was her yard,â&#x20AC;? said Seamons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually got her to eat out of my hand one day.â&#x20AC;?

November Sunriver Area Community Potluck

Sunriver Brewing wins awards Sunriver Brewing Co. received silver and bronze medals at the 2018 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) competition. Presented by the Brewers Association, GABF is the largest commercial beer competition in the world and recognizes the most outstanding beers produced in the United States. The top three winners in the competition’s 102 beer-style categories were announced Sept. 22 at the awards ceremony held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. Sunriver Brewing Co. was recognized in the American Wheat Ale With Yeast beerstyle category for its Fuzztail Hefeweizen, an American style hefeweizen that’s light and easy drinking, yet compelling. They were also recognized in the Imperial Red Ale beer-style category for its Cinder Beast Imperial Red Ale, a full-flavored ale featuring a depth of malt character, ranging from caramel and biscuit, to toffee and light roast. High hopping rates make for a firm bitterness and provide layers of earthy pine resin, herbal dankness and ripe tropical fruit. Sunriver Brewing Co. is a 15-barrel brewery

located in Sunriver that specializes in award winning beer and inviting pubs. “I’m humbled to be part of the impressive performance by Sunriver Brewing’s Team,” said Brett Thomas, Director of Brewing Operations at Sunriver Brewing Co. “Our brewers have an unwavering commitment to quality and consistency, and it shows across our products. The odds of us medaling three years in a row are absolutely staggering, unbelievable really. I honestly can’t think of a better way to support the independent craft beer industry.” Sunriver Brewing Company’s pub in The Village at Sunriver opened in summer of 2012. Recognizing that the original pub would not accommodate demand, a 13,000-square foot building was purchased in the Sunriver Business Park in 2014. Since that time, Sunriver Brewing Company has garnered many national and international awards for their craft beer. In February 2016, Sunriver opened its second pub location on Galveston Avenue in Bend. The year of 2017 included a major national accomplishment with winning Small Brewing

Home to the largest collection of telescopes for public viewing in the United States

Fall night viewing, Leonids meteor shower By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager The nights are growing longer and colder, and the familiar star patterns of winter begin to appear in the night sky. The staff is working on plans for 2019, but with two more months in 2018, we plan to expand our winter hours. The Oregon Observatory will be open on Friday and Saturday nights, from 7 to 9 p.m. for nighttime viewing. Our daytime hours will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday–Sunday. We do have a special night planned for Nov. 24. “Telescopes & More - Tools of the Trade” is a special presentation starting at 7 p.m. in the Pozzi education building. Sign up via our website and join us for an in-depth talk about telescopes, binoculars and much more. Then head out to the observatory for a hands-on viewing experience. The winter sky has some awesome views of galaxies and other jewels of the night. 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 seen on Earth in the year 1054. Later in the month is one of the most consistent

meteor showers, The Leonids, which peaks on Nov. 17-18. This shower traces its origin to 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, the Earth runs into this stream of dust, giving us a meteor shower. The good news in 2018, is that the moon will set late and will not be an issue. The best time to view will be after midnight, I know the staff will be out if the weather is clear. We are working to update and upgrade our equipment during the offseason. We are also working hard to get the final touches on our new programs for 2019, which will include enhancements to our solar program and adding new planetarium and educational programs. We will be visiting several schools in Central Oregon this month with our new inflatable planetarium and educating students about the night sky and the solar system. In addition, we are getting our astronomy store stocked for the holiday season and expanding our rocketry store. Our online store for optics, www. astronomyshop.org is now up and running. Is there something you are looking for or think we should stock? Please let us know.

The Oregon Observatory will visit several Central Oregon schools with its inflatable planetarium.

The staff at the observatory has much to be thankful during this upcoming holiday season. The support you have given us has made 2018 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. Be sure to check out the website (www.oregon observatory.org) and our Facebook page for the most current information.

On Carol Webb’s birthday some 30 years ago, friends gifted her a quilter’s ruler, a cutting mat and a quilt class that they all attended. As they were the only ones who took the classes, they soon formed their own quilting group and met every Wednesday to sew and share lunch together. Later, they joined a quilt guild and traveled to Paducah, Kentucky to attend an international quilt show. This went on for several years. Webb’s husband was eventually transferred to St. Louis for work and Carol quickly found a new group of quilting friends. And so it went – transfers, moving and finding new quilting friends. Quilting is not only

fun, but it helps open the door to finding new friends when moving to a new place. Along the way, Webb entered her work in quilt shows and won some competitions, including ones in Paducah, Houston, Tulsa and at Pacific International in Santa Clarita, California. Locally, Webb has been a featured quilter in both Sunriver and Sisters quilt shows. One highlight includes helping to form a quilting group in Cairo, Egypt. Members came from several different countries, some never speaking English – or Arabic. Nonetheless, quilting is a universal language and they managed to communicate. Together, the produced a quilt

that was sold at a social event at the British embassy and the money donated to a childrens’ orthopedic hospital in Cairo. Webb is still quilting today, and enjoys working with color. She even dyes her own fabrics – a messy but fun endeavor. Webb’s quilting work can be viewed on display at the Sunriver Library in the Sunriver Business Park through Jan. 26.

Annual deer, elk migrations requires extra driver attention Fall is the biggest months for vehicle-wildlife collisions in Oregon. With deer and elk on the move during their migration to winter ranges and breeding season, more wildlife is crossing roads around the state. The Oregon State Police, Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife urge motorists to be on alert and ready to slow down. Motorists should also be especially vigilant around sunrise and sunset, when animals are most active. Driving tips • Watch for roadway alert signs. These yellow diamondshaped signs with a deer image are placed in high-traffic areas for deer. • Remember that the presence of any type of animal could also mean that others are nearby. Deer are herd animals, and rarely travel alone. Keep an eye out for others who may attempt to dart across the road. • Honk. Some experts recommend that one long blast of the horn will scare deer out of the road. Do not rely on hood whistles or other devices designed to scare off deer – studies have shown them to be largely ineffective at minimizing accidents. • Be extra careful in areas where there is a lot of vegetation or curvy roads. Wildlife

near the road may not be visible. • When you see an animal near or on the roadway, reduce your speed and try to stay in your lane. Many serious crashes are the result of drivers swerving to avoid wildlife or other obstacles and then crashing into another vehicle or losing control. • The same advice applies for smaller wildlife like porcupines or raccoons – try to stay in your lane and do not swerve for these animals. They are less dangerous to vehicles than big game animals; losing control of your vehicle is a larger concern. • The fall/winter deer rut season typically lasts from late October through November, increasing deer activity in and around roadways. • Always wear your seat belt, as even the slightest collision could result in serious injuries. –Source: Oregon Department of Transportation

Photographer turns to writing fly fishing guidebooks By Greg Cotton On Thursday, Nov. 15, the Sunriver Anglers would like to invite everyone to their monthly meeting at 7 p.m. at SHARC. This month’s speaker will be Juan Calvillo, a professional photographer-turned-writer who has come up with a unique concept of a fly fishing book. Imagine that you are an avid fly fisherman from the East Coast. You’ve heard about the great angling opportunities in the Central Oregon area, but have never visited the region. You load up your car with rods and reels, camping gear

and head west. Your goal is the Crooked, Metolius and Deschutes rivers, but where do you start? You begin with Calvillo’s book “Redband Trout Waters: A Fly-Fishing Road Trip to Oregon's Crooked, Deschutes & Metolius Rivers.” In this book, you will find suggested campsites to stay at for these three rivers. Wow, a suggested jumping off spot to begin your fishing explorations. Now your camp is set up, and the fire is lit. The river is close, but where do you start? These rivers are miles or hundreds of miles long. Where are the fish?

Get out Calvillo’s book again. Here you will find suggestions of stretches of each river that you might try. Not specific spots, but good sections that should produce some great trout. Rivers change daily, but his book will give you some good starting locations. Using the flickering light of the campfire, you study his book some more. A map is discovered with parking spots marked that help you start your quest. As you slip into your sleeping bag, you smile because you now have a plan for the next day’s adventures.

Lodge gallery hosts painter Courtney Holton By Billye Turner Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents paintings by Courtney Holton and metal sculpture by Brent Lawrence and Luke Lawrence. The three artists’ work will appear in the upper and lower galleries through Nov. 25. Painter Courtney Holton exhibits the mixed media, abstract art “construction series,”contrasting light and darkness. Featuring a dark background painted on canvas, the artist applies crushed and then re-formed metallic strips, brushed with thinned oil paint of varied hues. The irregular surfaces of the metallic strips create reflection, brightened or dulled by the color of applied paints, also suggest a 3D effect. Holton notes that inspiration for the series came “from wandering at night in the forest – urban and natural – seeing what light the eye catches,” perhaps arising from light reflecting on wet leaves or rock shards. These experiences led to his paintings with high light/dark contrast which invites the viewer to pause and observe the presence or absence of light. A native Oregonian, the artist also exhibits enlarged and colorfully rendered photographic portraits of Native Americans of the Cayuse Tribe of northeastern Oregon/southeastern Washington. Again, one observes high contrast between the black and white photographs of the subject, and the bright surrounding background. The 5’ by 4’ painting of Speel-Ye of the Cayuse (among other images) exemplifies the high contrast of the black and white photograph of her face and chest contrasted with the artist’s painting of a brightly rendered, background rug inspired by a traditional Cayuse weave pattern. He also painted

a metallic double halo around Speel-Ye’s head, chosen to exemplify the respect for and importance of women in the tribe. Holton divides his time between Bend and southern France where he presently studies printmaking. Brent Lawrence, sculptor and a third-generation metal worker, learned metal work as a young boy, from his father, noted artist Gary Lawrence. The elder Lawrence

also learned the metal craft from his father. The younger Lawrence pursued his metal craft throughout grade and early high school years. After earning a degree from Portland State University, Brent Lawrence pursued other employment but decided art was his greater interest. He returned to work at Lawrence Gallery in Sheridan where he began to experiment and develop his own style. He perfected cutting and weld-

Brent Lawrence’s son, Luke Lawrence, a fourth generation metal worker and third generation artist, also experimented with metal work in his early years, much as his father. He graduated from the University of Oregon, majoring in philosophy which included study of the evolution of art, its reflection of and impact upon culture. After college, travel to the Caribbean, and touring the U.S., he returned to work with his father and to his own wildlife sculpture. After 30 some years of artistic creation and examination, Brent painstakingly creates his modernized expression of man’s earliest art form – cave drawings. Working with his A Full Service Tree Co.

son, Luke, they form these difficult and demanding replications of the Paleolithic art of 36,000 years ago. Cutting, heating and hammering stainless steel, they utilize their considerable combined skill to form their stylized images of elk, bison, bear, trout, salmon, even dragonflies. They then painstakingly apply Brent’s exclusive patinas to colorize and complete this singular and award-winning art. The Lawrences’ three-dimensional sculptures, along with Holton’s two-dimensional paintings, appear on the lower and upper level galleries at the Suniver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery. Billye Turner curates exhibitions for the Sunriver Resort Lodge gallery, open all hours. For information, contact her at 503.780.2828 or billyeturner@ bendnet.com

Fly tying corner: caddis stimulator By Phil Fischer Have you noticed those big lumbering mothy-like bugs flying over the Deschutes or Fall River lately? Chances are you were seeing the adult 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 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 with this pattern. You generally won’t see lots of these bugs about, but the trout know they are there and will take them eagerly if afforded the opportunity. 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 raise a wary trout looking for a large meal. The 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 con-

vincing 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 caddis imitations like this one on Crane Prairie, skating them similar to a 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 mothy-looking 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.

should I use? Back to the book. Here you find information on hatches for the river and suggested fly patterns. With these suggestions, a fly is chosen and tied onto your tippet. You cast, the fish rises and… FISH ON! Now is fly fishing this easy? No, but Calvillo’s book can act as a blueprint, getting us headed in the right direction.

favorite spots, but a different perspective never hurts. Since a lot of us like to travel, Calvillo has a second book, titled “Fishing Montana's Westslope Waters: A Fly-Fishing Road Trip to Missoula's Bitterroot, Blackfoot, Clark Fork & Rock Creek.” A third road trip book is in the final stages of production which will help you explore the Madison, Gallatin and Yellowstone rivers near and in America’s first national park. Calvillo’s 25 years as a professional photographer, added to his love of fly fishing, should make this a must-see presentation. At the November meeting, the club will also be holding their annual elections for new

officers and board members for 2019. If you are a member and would like to be involved at this level, please contact a current officer about being included. The Sunriver Anglers is a very active club here in Central Oregon, involved in angling, conservation and education. If you would like to join and become involved visit www. sunriveranglers.org or contact Chris Breault, Sunriver Angler Club president, at president@ sunriveranglers.org. Our annual Anglers Holiday Party will be held Monday, Dec. 3 at Sunriver Resort’s Great Hall. Put it on your calendars and plan on attending. It is a great night of food and camaraderie.

China’s maritime strategy topic of Men’s Club lunch

Left: Painting by Sylvia Avenius-Ford. Right: Hand-crafted copper art by David Gutierrez.

Start your gift shopping early during gallery celebration The beauty of autumn, a bit of a slowdown in activities, and two new artists at the Artists Gallery in Sunriver make for good reasons to stop by and enjoy some food, drink, laughter and art during the gallery’s Second Saturday celebration. Mark your calendar for Saturday, Nov. 10 from 4 to 6 p.m. While enjoying a glass of wine, you can make some gift purchases for the holidays and have them gift wrapped while you wait. You won’t want to miss spending an evening with the featured artists who are as unique as their art. Featured artist painter Sylvia Avenius-Ford grew up in Africa and South America and her mixed media art is heavily influenced by those cultures. Life in third world countries bombards the senses with an intensity of information, color and movement. Avenius-Ford believes that she subconsciously recreates that kinesthetic quality in her paintings and sculptures. Highly saturated color, line and texture all combine to produce an unbelievably happy view of the world. When you meet this talented artist, you will be able to

observe how her personality and experiences combine to produce such unabashedly joyous and beautiful art. Featured artist coppersmith David Gutierrez grew up a surfer kid in Southern California. That love of the ocean ultimately brought him to the Northwest via the Navy. His art career began as an apprenticeship in the sheet metal industry where Architectural copper work made up most of his business. After retirement, Gutierrez became a volunteer blacksmith at a Living History museum where he perfected his iron blacksmithing and discovered that copper could also be forged. The artist now uses “old school” methods of coal forging to allow him to create unique copper art pieces that are both beautiful and functional. Pieces range from beautiful earrings (great gifts) to spoons, bowls and trays. Artists’ Gallery Sunriver is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver. For more information, call 541-593-4382 or visit www.artists gallerysunriver.com

Tom Roberts, a Sunriver resident, will address the Sunriver Men’s Club on Thursday, Nov. 15. The talk is entitled “Beyond the South China Sea." The Grille at Crosswater will host the luncheon. Sunriver area men and women are welcome to attend. The cost is $25 per person. Several years ago, Roberts spoke to the Men’s Club about China’s island building in the South China Sea, only to have the story break in the national headlines several days later. Roberts continues to follow developments in China, we have invited him back to speak again. This talk will explain China’s efforts to forge a new maritime strategy as it bids for regional naval dominance. Roberts is both a former Navy officer and a former

Debbie Baker (left) of SRWC and Jenna App (right) from CASA of Central Oregon, launch the first Power of 100 program's signature project benefitting vulnerable children and youth.

SRWC-sponsored Power of 100 helps local vulnerable children By Cheryl L Storm The Sunriver Women’s Club (SRWC) is sponsoring a new initiative, the Power of 100, which will help vulnerable children and youth in south Deschutes County this year. The Power of 100 Program is simple: 100 people join by making a $100 contribution. Members of the SRWC and community join together to make an impactful $10,000 grant to a local nonprofit serving south

Deschutes County. As the sponsor of the program, SRWC members vote on the project to receive the grant around a signature theme. The recent vote between Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) of Central Oregon and the Kids Center resulted in a surprising tie. It was clear the members enthusiastically supported both programs. Therefore, the SRWC decided to select both projects as their

first two signature projects. A random selection resulted in the club’s decision to focus on CASA first and then shift to the Kids Center. Once these two signature projects are completed, a new focus will be chosen and a new signature project selected. Jenna App, CASA’s executive director, highlighted CASA’s mission and specifically how the grant would impact vulnerable children in south Deschutes County to the membership at the October SRWC luncheon. She described how the agency focuses on advocating for abused and neglected foster care children navigating the court system. She noted a 22 percent increase in the number of children placed in foster care is expected in south Deschutes County in 2019. The signature project funds staff hours to recruit, train and support 8-15 additional CASA volunteers serving approximately 25 additional foster children. On average in Central Oregon, a child in foster care will have four different caseworkers and three different foster placements. A CASA volunteer is often the only consistent adult in a child’s life during his or her time in foster care. In south Deschutes County, a child is twice as likely to end up in foster care than in the Bend area. App was pleased to report that a SRWC small grant last

Children with a CASA advocate access more needed medical services, do better in school, and tend to move out of foster care more quickly. The Power of 100 has had strong support from the SRWC’s membership and a beginning response from the community. More than 50 people have joined the program in the first month. Thus, the Power of 100 is over halfway towards its goal of funding the first signature project. Once $10,000 is raised for CASA, it will shift to the second signature project of the KIDS Center. Their project will provide immediate therapy for children, non-offending parents and siblings serving child abuse victims in south Deschutes County. We invite community members to join with the SRWC by contributing to make a significant difference in the lives of these vulnerable children.

Film highlighting Wild and Scenic Rivers Act coming to SHARC

Longtime Tern volunteer Kathy Glading portrays ‘La Diva’ to demonstrate the ‘fainting couch.’

Feeling faint? The Tern has the perfect couch for you By Wes Perrin Upper class women in the Victorian Era may not have had a lot of freedom, but if distressed, they did have their very own piece of furniture. It was called the “fainting couch,” and an example of the classic design is now on the sales floor of The Second Tern Thrift Store. What distinguishes it in appearance from a standard upholstered couch is the raised back end. This allows a woman who might be feeling faint to recline leisurely ala Cleopatra style on the padded surface. Frequently, they were covered in plush fabrics with bold colors much like the rich gold and orange brocade on the Tern’s piece. If the woman’s family happened to be well-to-do, the couch might be placed as the featured furniture in a special “fainting room.”

There has been considerable speculation by historians as to why fainting seemed so prevalent at the turn of the century. One theory places the blame on the extremely tight corsets worn by fashionable women. Somewhat amazingly, studies have been conducted on the subject, and claim that Victorian corsets could reduce lung capacity by anywhere from 2 to 29 percent. Thus, the resulting shortness of breath might bring on a fainting spell. The other school of thought believes fainting’s appeal was propelled by the notion it was related to “female hysteria.” Apparently, this was a common diagnosis by male doctors, covering a wide variety of female complaints. In some cases, the woman suffering from this

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Signed by Congress in 1968, the Act preserves designated rivers that have outstanding natural, cultural and recreation values in a free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations. The Act protects 12,754 miles of 209 rivers, which is less than one quarter of one percent of streams or rivers in the United States. In celebration of this milestone, the Deschutes National Forest and Discover Your Forest is screening the movie “Upriver: An Oregon Experience” on Wednesday, Nov. 28, 7 p.m. at Benham Hall at SHARC (doors open at 6:30 p.m.). The event is free and open to the public. The event is presented by the SROA Owner Enrichment

Committee. Oregon has approximately 110,994 miles of river, of which 1,916.7 miles are designated under the Wild and Scenic Act, including much of the Deschutes River. The headwater of the Deschutes River begins at Little Lava Lake before meandering some 252 miles north and dumping into the Columbia River. Almost 174 miles of the Deschutes River is designated under the Act, with 31 miles considered “scenic” and almost 144 miles labeled as “recreational.” While the river along Sunriver’s west flank is designated as recreational, the area starting near the north end of Sunriver around river mile 185 to the north to Lava Island (around river mile 175.5) is designated as scenic.

Wild and Scenic River classifications Rivers are classified as wild, scenic or recreational. Wild River Areas: Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments and generally inaccessible except by trail, with watersheds or shorelines essentially primitive and waters unpolluted.

Abbot-Beaver traffic flow changes As the initial phase of construction for the AbbotBeaver intersection draws near there is a traffic change that will be in effect through mid-November. Although traffic will continue to be one-lane along Abbot Drive, all east and westbound Abbot traffic is now shifted to the south side of the new Abbot circle. Moving the traffic allows

Marcum & Sons to finish up the north side of the circle. Beaver Drive between Abbot and the Village driveway is closed with traffic shifted to the new access roads for Ponderosa Road and Village/ Country Store. Please see the map for the closure area and traffic flows. Using alternative routes and avoiding the construction area (when possible) is appreciated.

represent vestiges of primitive America. Scenic River Areas: Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments, with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads. Recreational River Areas: Those rivers or sections of rivers that are readily accessible by road or railroad, that may have some development along their shorelines, and that may have undergone some impoundment or diversion in the past. Regardless of classification, each river in the national system is administered with the goal of protecting and enhancing the values that caused it to be designated.

malady would lie on the fainting couch and be comforted by a mid-wife administering a “pelvic massage.” The couch’s design gained even greater popularity when it was discovered to be favored by the famous psychiatrist Sigmund Freud. He asked his patients not to faint, but simply to rest comfortably on the couch, while pouring out their inner most thoughts about childhood, dreams, memories and other private feelings.

development, and other uses may continue. Protection of the river is provided through voluntary stewardship by landowners and river users and through regulation and programs of federal, state, local, or tribal governments. In most cases not all land within boundaries is, or will be, publicly owned, and the act limits how much land the federal government is allowed to acquire from willing sellers. Visitors to these rivers are cautioned to be aware of and respect private property rights. The act purposefully strives to balance dam and other construction at appropriate sections of rivers with permanent protection for some of the country’s most outstanding free-flowing rivers. To accomplish this, it prohibits federal support for actions such as the construction of dams or other instream activities that would harm the river’s free-flowing condition, water quality, or outstanding resource values. However, designation does not affect existing water

rights or the existing jurisdiction of states and the federal government over waters as determined by established principles of law. As of August 2018, the National System protects 209 rivers in 40 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; this is less than one-quarter of one percent of the nation’s rivers. By comparison, more than 75,000 large dams across the country have modified at least 600,000 miles, or about 17 percent (possibly more than 20 percent – figures are best estimates), of American rivers.

Meanwhile Freud hovered close by taking detailed notes. “Rest assured, you won’t feel faint when you see our price tag on this very special couch,” said Colly Rosenberg, Tern manager. “It is just another example of the great merchandise that can surprise you at our store. Every week there is something different to discover, and that’s what makes shopping here so much fun.” Rosenberg also announced the selection of Susan Ertsgaard as the Tern’s new volunteer coordinator. She will take over from Kirsten Force who is

taking on more office responsibilities with the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory. Ertsgaard can be reached at volunteer@secondtern.com, and additional information is available at 541-593-3367 and www.secondtern.com. The store is located on Spring River Road a short distance west of Harper Bridge and is open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Stars presents ‘Geoffrey Chaucer’s Flying Circus’

Shown formally accepting the deed for a 1.85-parcel of land from Deschutes County – which will be the site of a 19unit townhome subdivision in La Pine, called Putney Place – are (left to right): Dwane Krumme, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of La Pine-Sunriver; Deschutes County commissioners Tony De Bone and Phil Henderson; Dick Arnold and Wade Watson, Habitat board of directors president and vice president, respectively.

By Fred Sackett This version of Chaucer’s Literary Masterpiece has a large dose of Monty Python styled humor to create a raucous yet educational comedy. You’ll see many of the 14th century pilgrims who ventured to Canterbury to visit the shrine of St. Thomas Becket. These pilgrims drift across many centuries, so, among them you’ll meet The Miller, King Larry, The Parson, Sir Elvis The Knight, the Pardoner, Alex of Trebek, The Queen of England and Geoffrey Chaucer himself. As a semi-staged reading, audience participation is heartily invited – complete with kazoos for introductory theme songs and coconut shells for the sounds of galloping horses. Now, a little bit of Thanksgiving: as a gesture of thanks to our loyal audience, this

presentation will cost only $10 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. As a gesture of giving, each member of the audience is encouraged to bring one item of non-perishable food to be donated to Care and Share food bank. This irreverent romp takes place at The Door (56885 Enterprise Drive in the Sunriver Business Park), on Friday, Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 1 at 3 p.m. As a special “sneak peek” a part of this offering is to be the free entertainment at the Nov. 14 Sunriver Area Community Potluck at SHARC.

Tickets may be purchased online at www.sunriverstars. org or from cast members. Call Susan Evans Inman, director, at 541-408-1326 with any questions.

Project Lifesaver can assist finding ‘at risk’ Sunriver residents By Dennis Dishaw, Citizens Patrol Sunriver Police Chief Cory Darling recently announced an outreach program for atrisk dementia residents in Sunriver. “Our area has a high percentage of seniors and we are aware of some residents who may wander due to their disease. Thankfully, we have a great program called Project Lifesaver here.” The department will reach out to various civic groups over the next few months to present and demonstrate the program. It is hoped this will

induce residents to sign up for this important service. Last year, the Sunriver Citizen Patrol provided initial funding and took responsibility to administer Project Lifesaver. Specifically aimed at quickly finding wanderers, Project Lifesaver is being used by law enforcement in cities across the country with great success. Persons with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, Down syndrome or autism are all especially prone to walking out of the home and may have no idea how to safe-

ly return. Often, dementia patients will leave without proper clothing for cold or inclement weather. They are on a mission: to go to the store, their childhood home or a former job. This creates distress for the caregiver and the need for search and rescue operations. Project Lifesaver provides the person with a wristband, very similar to a wristwatch, that contains a radio frequency device. The device can be detected by handheld receivers carried by the search team. The detection range is up to one mile and the receivers are direction sensitive. As soon as the caregiver or someone notices that the wanderer is missing and calls Sunriver Police, the search team can be mobilized within 15 minutes with the necessary detection equipment. A recent training exercise of four different situations resulted in the subject being found in an average of 18 minutes. If this sounds like a program that would benefit a member of your household, call the Sunriver Police Department at 541-593-1014. A Citizens Patrol member will come out to your home to fully explain the program. www.sunriverowners.org

Learning how to prepare By Jim Bennett In early October, Central Oregon Community College, in conjunction with Deschutes County Emergency Management, hosted the first (in Central Oregon) Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) basic training. Managed by FEMA, and formed back in the 90s, the nationally recognized course provides community members with special skills they can use prior to, during and following a disaster. The core themes of the training are home safety and prevention, disaster response, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue and fire safety. CERT is designed to prepare

community members for what could be limited emergency and support services in the days following a natural or other disaster. This preparation will not only help with their own family needs, but be a resource to other members of the community who may need assistance. Sunriver was well represented with Dennis Dishaw and Bill Philbrook from the Sunriver Police Department Citizens Patrol and residents Mary and David Wallace. Together, we had the opportunity to learn the CERT system and work through realistic scenarios. Both Mary and David took the course to learn more about preparing for an emergency and how to be more self-reliant during an emergency situation. Mary commented that “This was valuable information on what I can do as a citizen to be involved in emergency situations and be a part of the solution.” David went on to say that his motivation came from the potential of wildfires in Central Oregon and after the Sheridan Fire, the issue came into greater focus. This class provided him and Mary with a greater understanding of emergency management and will enhance their ability to better interpret news coverage of emergencies

and disasters. Polk and Yamhill counties, both with long-standing CERT programs provided instruction for the three-day course which was held on the COCC Bend Campus. The class opened with several hours of how best a community member can prepare for emergencies by making their homes safer, having the right disaster survival supplies and understanding the emergency management and response system. For many participants, this was their first time using a fire extinguisher. With a live-fire pan, controlled by trained firefighters, each participant got to deploy a fire extinguisher and pull the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the trigger and sweep back and forth to extinguish the fire. Using the “PASS” method: Pull-AimSqueeze-Sweep), every participant became a little more prepared in the event of a fire. The group also practiced different methods of moving an injured person using stretchers, backboards and even a blanket. This helped empower participants with the skills necessary to move the injured in the event of a large-scale disaster. The class also tackled the thinking game of cribbing. Using levers, blocks and other objects, the teams were able to lift heavy objects off a person; simulating a trapped victim of a building collapse. The “final” or highlight of the class was a role play incident simulating an explosion in a science lab. The walking (and not walking) wounded were found with plenty of moulage (mock injuries, complete with lots of “blood” and horrible-looking wounds). The teams deployed and practiced triaging, removing victims, setting up medical T  P,  

Music education scholarships available for Three Rivers School students Over the past 15 years, Sunriver Music Festival has consistently maintained its commitment to music education at Sunriver’s Three Rivers School. Now, through the support of Bennington Properties, the festival is expanding its support again with a new scholarship program for motivated students.

“Robert Bennington recently established a $5,000 matching challenge fund to help support music students in south Deschutes County,” said Pam Beezley, festival Executive Director. “This generous support has allowed us to now offer scholarships for individual and private lessons.”

Beezley adds that no experience in music is necessary, but a clear demonstration of interest and commitment from both students and their parents is required. The scholarship may be used for lessons on any musical instrument, including vocals. The new fund supports two programs: • After school private and

small ensemble lessons for band and orchestra lessons held at Three Rivers School. • Vocal, guitar and piano – private or group lessons –held at various music teachers’ studio in Sunriver (based on schedule availability). “Currently 92 percent of all Three Rivers students participate in music programs,” adds Beezley. “Beginner band has 35 students, advanced band has 58 students, guitar class has 20 students and choir has grown to 70 singers.” Last school year, the festival provided funds to Three Rivers to purchase new band instruments, repair instruments, purchase new music for band, choir, orchestra and bring professional musicians to the school for educational performances. In December 2017, concert rock violinist Aaron Meyer conducted a three-day Artist in Residence program for all K–8 students. Partic-

ipants learned how to write a song and put it to music. Each class performed their new composition for their peers, teachers and parents. Recordings were made available for the students to keep. In March 2018, the University of Oregon Brass Quintet performed and conducted a workshop for band students. The quintet included U of O music professors and instructors.

‘A Deadly Wind’ chronicles history, science and survival By Deon Stonehouse On Saturday, Nov. 10 at 5 p.m. John Dodge presents “A Deadly Wind,” a comprehensively researched account of the Columbus Day storm that spread destruction across the West in 1962. It begins with a puff of wind out on the sea, gains speed and becomes typhoon Freda somewhere around Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Back in 1962 not too many systems were keeping track of storms; that nifty Doppler radar was not around yet. The Navy kept track as it had an investment in expensive ships and wanted to know if Mother Nature was planning on tossing them around like toys and needed to move the ships out of the path of her fury. Bill Bruder was a young chap flying out of Guam to track typhoon Freda, ready to alert his superior officers if she showed an inclination to play rough with the ships. As Freda lost speed, she was still not acting right. Due to her unusual nature,

Bruder suspected she might be a danger to the mainland. He radioed his superiors to ascertain if they should keep tracking the storm. Bruder was told to head back to base. As a 20-year-old recruit fresh out of training, Bruder didn’t have much more than a hunch to go on; there was nothing he could do when given the order to stand down. Unfortunately, his hunch proved tragically accurate. On Oct. 12, 1962 a storm of immense power hit landfall. UW professor Cliff Mass called it “the strongest non-tropical windstorm to strike the West Coast in recorded history” and compared it to Superstorm Sandy. The Columbus Day storm wreaked havoc with winds in excess of 150 miles an hour. Any way you consider it, this was a huge storm. Dodge gives plenty of background on the causes of storms to keep science buffs happy. He contrasts the forecasting abilities of the 1960s with present day, detailing the changes. Howev-

er, he also covers the personal experiences of those who either rode out the storm or perished. These included the author, who watched the power of the storm in the home of friends. There are many stories of individual bravery and tragedy. In Tillamook, a young farmer suffers the loss of his herd of cattle as the barn collapses – as did many across the west. A young boy is mauled by a confused young lion let loose when the storm destroyed her enclosure. In Portland, bridges were shut as they swayed precariously. Seattle visitors to the World’s Fair were advised to leave the fairgrounds and seek shelter. All across the West there were falling trees, downed powerlines and general chaos. Photos provide shocking proof of the destruction. The Columbus Day storm is a part of Western history. Dodge gives both the intimate stories of those who lived through the storm along with the big picture of the damage it caused and the aftermath

By Deon Stonehouse November is a great month for Book Clubs. We gather together on Mondays at 6 p.m. with other passionate readers for a good discussion. The club meetings are free and open to all.

• Nov. 12 the Mystery Book Club discusses “Bruno, Chief of Police: A Mystery of the French Countryside” by Martin Walker. Bruno likes his quiet life in his village in the Perigord. He enjoys cooking scrumptious meals for his friends, goes riding in the countryside, likes good wine and attractive women. Being chief of police in sleepy St. Denis fits him perfectly. He resents it when an elderly war hero is murdered, but Bruno is a capable officer and will set to work catching a killer while the crime leads back to the dark days of World War II. Reading one of Martin Walker’s Bruno series is the next best thing to visiting the French Dordogne.

South Africa, wherever he finds an opportunity. He keeps journals of his travels, financial affairs and thoughts. Walton suffers from syphilis, has for 20 years, and in 1904 it was still a death sentence. The grim reaper has been kept at bay, avoiding some of the more horrific side effects of the disease, until now when it seems to have taken his mind. His ship docked in Seattle, Walton disembarked without either his wits or the money from selling mines in South Africa. A fortune is missing and Walton makes no sense whatsoever on where he might have put the proceeds. Dulcy is summoned to try unraveling Walton’s nonsensical patter, search his journals for clues to find the money. When Walton dies, Dulcy’s future is bleak. Victor, her father’s business partner, believes he has her in his clutches. On the journey to take her father’s body back east for burial, Dulcy fakes suicide disappearing into Montana and reemerges as the widow Nash. If Victor ever finds her she may not survive and he is not a man to give up easily. Dulcy is brave, intelligent, and unwilling to accept the limits on women imposed by her era; instead she risks everything for life on her own terms encompassing the possibility of joy and meaning. • Nov. 26 the Non-Fiction Book Club discusses “Lost City of the Monkey God” by Douglas Preston. “Lost City” an account of Preston’s participation in a scientific

expedition to discover a city lost for 500 years in the Honduran jungle. Using the advanced technology of lidar, they flew over the jungle with the machine pinpointing areas of interest rather than blundering about in the thick underbrush in the hopes of making a discovery. The images revealed several areas of interest, one being a sprawling city waiting to be discovered. The machine does not make it

all smooth going, boots on the ground to physically assess the discovery are necessary. All the machine does is eliminate the time spent flailing around in the jungle trying to find the site, the rest of the discovery process is hands on. Preston and the team were flown close to the site, where they would camp in the jungle and evaluate the discovery. This is a jungle that had not been exposed to humans in centuries. The animals were not used to humans, so were interested and not as fearful or cautious as animals who know the danger of our species. Some of these animals were dangerous themselves. Deadly Fer-de-lance snakes were abundant. There were other dangers; rumor had it a curse had been placed on the site. It was a rumor that proved to be true for the mem-

bers of the expedition as many of the group, including Preston, came down with a mysterious, incurable disease. There was also scientific controversy. This was a huge discovery: an ancient city, an intact site, with many artifacts. Controversy erupted within the academic community. Other scientists attacked the group’s findings, expressing the opinion that using lidar was not good science; the discovery had to be made by going laboriously through the jungle. This is a fascinating account of a major discovery, the perils attendant, the rewards of discovery and all that followed. Sunriver Books & Music is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver. Call 541-593-2525 or visit www. sunriverbooks.com for more information.

• Nov. 19 the Fiction Book Club discusses “The Widow Nash” by Jamie Harrison. Historic fiction is at its best in this sweeping novel featuring a strong woman, her brilliant but eccentric father, and the dark obsessive man who was both her father’s business partner and her ex-fiancé. Dulcy is in New York when she receives the distress call from Seattle. Dulcy normally travels with her father on all his jaunts, has since she was a girl of 15, this time she stayed behind. Walton Remfrey is an engineer and an inventor. He made a fortune traveling the world, with Dulcy at his side, to places where the earth’s wealth can be extracted – Montana, SUNRIVER SCENE • NOVEMBER 2018

Costa Rican visitors donned authentic dress during a farewell dinner.

Visiting Costa Ricans tour Central Oregon The nonprofit Partners of the Americas once again sponsored their annual visit of Costa Ricans to Oregon. Since the 1960s, the State of Oregon and the Central American nation of Costa Rica have been exchanging citizens for one-month visits with local families. In September, the communities of Astoria, Hood River, Sunriver/ Bend and Portland received and entertained Costa Rican visitors in return for a February opportunity for the hosts

to spend similar time touring Costa Rica while staying with families there. This year the Sunriver hosts introduced their “Ticos” to Smith Rock, the museum at Fort Rock and the great obsidian flow at Paulina/East Lakes – not to mention their favorite brewpubs and restaurants. The program provides a small budget to help with the costs of entertainment, although the hosts provide breakfast, lodging and T  C R  

choice for my family to make. A frequent Sunriver visitor in the summer months, I feel my dreams have been realized as I am now living in a community that suits our family, while owning a company that fits my passions. While the wonderful and frequent visitors to Sunriver are the largest part of the business, I was surprised by the low volume of local patrons. As I continue to get involved with area groups and events, my goal is to bring in more classes and workshops the community is wanting to see. From after school art programs and camps, to art therapy classes and special local discounts on weekday mornings, I want to remind the community that art can have a positive impact on the mind, body and soul. While the shop will continue to offer four, all day drop-in DIY projects, glass fusing, pottery painting, wood sign painting and canvas painting, we want to equally promote classes focusing on art as a form of stress relief, self-expression and benefits to fine motor skill development and arthritis management. We are all born with an

innate desire to express ourselves, emerging in a wider range of activities than you may believe. Painting allows us to get into what is called a “state of flow,” creating a distraction, and break from our usual thought process. With this, we are able to release both stress and anxiety, as we enter a meditative-like state of mind that temporarily pushes all other worries away. In addition to the emotional/mental benefits, several studies have also found that painting improves attention, concentration, cognition and even promotes brain plasticity when it comes to recall/memory. While there are endless benefits to starting children in a creative outlet at an early age (both to help with their studies and focus), likewise, there is a need for art and its cognitive benefits for adults. For all of these reasons, I am excited to announce our newest class, “Paint with Me.” The

Paint with Me classes will take place every Wednesday from 10 to 11 a.m. Participants will be taken on a journey through creative expression, and leave with their own masterpiece. Paint with Me was intended for beginner adult painters who are who are ready to experience the positive impact that painting and the creative cycle can offer. Classes are $30 and reservations are required as seating is limited. I look forward to the next year, and I will continue to listen and deliver classes and workshop opportunities that locals want to participate in. There is something so very special about this community, and I am honored to be a part of it. Live Laugh Love Art is located in building 23 in The Village at Sunriver.

Working together benefits everyone By Bonnie Campbell, Sunriver I was DELIGHTED (it’s the small things in life that give me joy!) to see the article “Call for task force members” in the October Scene. It is this sort of process that strengthens the relationship between the board and the homeowners of Sunriver. When everyone is given the opportunity for involvement and collaboration, we ALL benefit from the experiences and knowledge of the owners, staff and board. My hope is there will be an overwhelming response to the SROA’s request which will result in success for both task forces.

In memoriam • Harry Hartung passed on Sept. 28. At Harry’s request, there will be no service. His ashes will be laid to rest in Hawaii. • Marlys Lysaker, 77, passed on Oct. 3.

From the Editor’s Desk: There is etiquette to flying the American Flag After being contacted by an owner with concerns about a neighbor’s inappropriate flying of an American flag at night, it seemed the perfect opportunity to remind everyone of the proper etiquette for displaying the U.S. flag. While I knew the basic standards of respect for flying the flag, I did learn a few new things via the website www.usflag.org Previous to Flag Day (enacted June 14, 1923) there were no federal or state regulations governing the display of a U.S. flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted during the National Flag Conference to formalize and unify the ways in which we give respect to the flag. When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should always be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously. Flags should be cleaned and mended when necessary. When a flag is so worn that it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner. Displaying the flag outdoors When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from a window, balcony or a building, the union (stars) should be at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half staff. Ordinarily a flag should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset. It should be illuminated if displayed at night. The flag should be raised briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. The flag of the United States of America is saluted as it is hoisted and lowered. The SUNRIVER SCENE • NOVEMBER 2018

salute is held until the flag is unsnapped from the halyard or through the last note of music, whichever is the longest. When the flag is displayed over a street, it should be hung vertically, with the union to the north or east. If the flag is suspended over a sidewalk, the flag's union should be farthest from the building. When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor – to its own right. • The other flags may be smaller but none may be larger. • No other flag ever should be placed above it. • The flag of the United States is always the first flag raised and the last to be lowered. Displaying the flag indoors When on display, the flag is accorded the place of honor and always positioned to its own right. Place it to the right of the speaker, staging area or sanctuary. Other flags should be to the left. The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of states, localities or societies are grouped for display. When one flag is used with the flag of the United States of America and the staffs are crossed, the flag of the United States is placed on its own right with its staff in front of the other flag. When displaying the flag against a wall, vertically or horizontally, the flag's union (stars) should be at the top, to the flag's own right and to the observer’s left. The flag in mourning To place the flag at half staff, hoist it to the peak for www.sunriverowners.org

an instant and lower it to a position half way between the top and bottom of the staff. The flag is to be raised again to the peak for a moment before it is lowered. On Memorial Day, the flag is displayed at half staff until noon and at full staff from noon to sunset. The flag is to be flown at half staff in mourning for designated, principal government leaders and upon presidential or gubernatorial order. When used to cover a casket, the flag should be placed with the union at the head and over the left shoulder. It should not be lowered into the grave. The Flag Code also contains specific instructions on what not to do, which includes: • The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal. • The flag should not be used as a drapery, or for covering a speaker’s desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top. • The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard • The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform. A flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations. • The flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure or drawing of any kind. • The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying or delivering anything.
