Millions of tourism dollars lost due to 2017 wildfires Earlier this year, Travel Oregon hired Dean Runyan Associates and Destination Analysts to survey businesses across the state to look at the economic impacts that the 2017 wildfires had on the state’s travel and tourism industry. The reported losses are substantial. An estimated $51.1 million in visitor spending was lost statewide, with the Central Oregon region suffering the biggest hit at $19 million in losses. Wildfires occur throughout the state each year with the summer onset of warm, dry conditions – generally between July and November. Most fires can be attributed to thunderstorms and increases in human activities related to outdoor recreation. A total of 113 wildfires were listed in Oregon in 2017 by the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, the second highest number since 2000, surpassed only by 2014 with 115 fires. According to the report, wildfires can have a disproportionate impact on the travel industry because travel – leisure travel in particular – results from a discretionary expenditure by households, one that can be redirected to alternative locations and/or rescheduled in response to undesirable conditions brought on by fire. The Sunriver Owners Association fielded numerous calls last summer from owners – many of who postponed their Sunriver visit due to excessive smoke. The association also periodically closed its outdoor aquatic facilities when smoky conditions were deemed “unhealthful” by the Department of Environmental Quality. Although smoke is part of life when living in a region prone to wildfires, long-term impacts can develop when visitors develop adverse perceptions regarding the desirability and safety of the state – which can affect future decisions to visit.

Traffic circle construction moving smoothly By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene Like clay coming out of a giant PlayDoh Fun Factory, the concrete curbing of the Abbot-Beaver circle was installed over two-days on Sept. 20 & 21. Once the curbs dried, crews backfilled around the curbing and then began work on the stamped concrete “islands” leading in and out of the circle. Construction on the new traffic circle has gone so smoothly that the project is slightly ahead of the originally-planned schedule, with base layer paving of the Abbot circle expected to take place the around the first of this month. “With the help of the stakeholders, and close coordination between Marcum & Sons, Century West Engineering and SROA, the project is moving a

little ahead of schedule and on budget,” said Mark Smith, SROA Public Works Director. The next phase will include creating new entries into the Village near the Country Store and onto Ponderosa Road from Abbot Drive. Crews will also be constructing a new pathway along Ponderosa to Beaver Drive. During pathway construction, a section of Ponderosa Road between Café Sintra and Medical Drive is expected to be closed starting Oct. 5 and could last through the end of the month. Owners who live along Ponderosa Road will need to use the north-end access of Ponderosa Road (across from T  C,  

New book presents history of Sunriver The history of Sunriver, from its early settlers to becoming a World War II training camp to the creation of a residential community and world class resort, is chronicled in the new book, “Images of America: Sunriver.” Printed by Arcadia Publishing and written by Bend author Tor Hanson, the 127-page softbound book is a photographic journey of Sunriver’s past and present. You may have seen these popular books – as many have been printed about various regions and historical topics within Central Oregon. In fact,

Hanson also wrote the book “Images of America: Camp Abbot” – printed and released earlier this year. Hanson spent hundreds of hours doing research and sifted through thousands of images on file at the Sunriver Owners Association and Deschutes Historical Society. Long-time residents, Sunriver Fire & Rescue, Sunriver Resort and the Sunriver Chamber of Commerce also provided images and information for the book. Hanson also perused every issue of the “Sunriver Scene” as well as its predecessor, “Harold,” looking for tidbits of historical relevance.

Curbing is formed around the outside border of the Abbot-Beaver circle on Sept. 21.

The Sunriver Owners Association will have a limited number of the books for sale at $18.99 for owners ($5 off the $23.99 retail price), while supplies last. The books will be available starting around Oct. 15. Stop by the administration office at 57455 Abbot Drive to pick up a copy. Hanson will give a presentation on the book at Sunriver Books & Music on Oct. 20 at 5 p.m. (see story on page 32). The “Sunriver” and “Camp Abbot” books are also for sale at the bookstore. With Christmas just around the corner, these will make great stocking stuffers for anyone who loves Sunriver. PRSRT STD. U.S. POSTAGE PAID BEND, OR PERMIT NO. 213

SROA NEWS – October is your last chance to participate in this year’s annual ladder fuels pickup program offered by the Sunriver Owners Association Public Works Department. This service is provided only to individual Sunriver property owners for reduction of ladder fuels. Owners using contractors or contractors doing work on private property are responsible for disposal of all debris they create. Vegetative materials generated for building construction is also the responsibility of the owner and their contractor and will not be removed by SROA. Please observe the following: • Have all ladder fuel materials on roadside at the start of the first full week of October. • Cut tree branches to eight-foot maximum lengths. • Stack brush next to and parallel with the road edge so equipment can reach it without going off road. • Be careful to not stack near or on top of electric/telephone/ cable boxes, water/sewer valves and meters, big rocks or sprinklers. • Bagged materials will NOT be collected. • SROA does not pick up pine needles, grass, leaves or small branches. If you try to include this material the pile will be left. Grass clippings, pine needles, or other organic materials, can be taken to Sunriver Environmental, LLC composting site at Lake Penhollow (541-593-4197) • There is no need to call. All Sunriver roads are checked. For more information about the SROA ladder fuels pickup program, call 541-593-2483.

NOT everything you need to know about Sunriver One of my favorite things to enjoy in Sunriver is the changing of the seasons. As we are entering the fall, things seem to slow down. Crowds have gone, pathways feel like lonely, open highways and I can again hear the uninterrupted sounds of nature. There is a softness Bob Nelson that invites reflection. I was so looking forward to this time. But as I arrived back to Sunriver from the valley, I was greeted by a lineup of cars and they were at a stoplight! I distinctly remember that my desire to experience the sounds of silence was quickly lost in the din of earth movers, road graders, backhoes and the incessant beeping of equipment backing up. The intersection of Abbott and Beaver roads was being turned into a new, well-designed traffic circle. But as I thought about it, I quickly remembered the “way it was.” You remember. The good old days when we’d wait forever for a break in the traffic flow but then had to dodge all kinds of traffic resulting in the white tubes placed in the middle of the road in an attempt to “help” manage traffic. How many times did one see drivers moving out into the intersection only to be bamboozled by the white dividers and thus driving the wrong way. Ah, the good old days. Not to be deterred from my purpose of finding repose in Sunriver, I just waited until the evening when all had calmed down and I took my usual evening stroll. It was only then did I slow down and begin to reflect about what was positive about my situation. I realized that by late spring, all will be transformed at the intersection from hell. But to be honest, not being one who cherishes delayed gratification, I really had to work hard on getting my mind “straight.” The magic

elixir was just being in the natural environment and enjoying our Indian Summer. Little Know Fact #1 As I continued to let my mind drift I began to wonder. I first began wondering why this time of year was called Indian Summer. Merriam Webster defines it as being a “period of warm or mild weather in late autumn or early winter.” Got it. I feel it. Feels good. But why is it called Indian Summer? I knew instinctively that my best bet was the good ole Farmers Almanac. And I was right but the answer wasn’t quite as prosaic as I’d thought it would be. The Farmers Almanac did not disappoint. “The most probable origin of the term, in our view, goes back to the very early settlers in New England. Each year they would welcome the arrival of a cold wintry weather in late October when they could leave their stockades unarmed. But then came a time when it would suddenly turn warm again, and the Native Americans would decide to have one more go at the settlers. “Indian summer,” the settlers called it.” Little Known Fact #2 Recently, my grandsons and I were watching an old western movie starring Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum and Richard Widmark. As we watched one of the boys said “gee that looks kinda like Sunriver.” It was filmed, in part, here in Oregon. And, indeed, it was the perfect backdrop of the wagon train emerging from the forest and the mountains to make its way across the Great Meadow toward “Fort Bridger.” The fort was actually constructed around the Great Hall. Little Known Fact #3 Another little know (and probably insignificant) fact concerns the name of our association. Now this is no doubt one of the pressing issues of our time but do we belong to the Sunriver Owners Association or

the Sunriver Home Owners Association? Yes, there are over 4,000 family dwellings so isn’t that what an HOA is? This may sound trivial, but the true name is Sunriver OWNERS Association. That is because we have as active and important major entities which are not homes – the Sunriver Resort and The Village at Sunriver. Both of these entities are successful commercial enterprises that pay dues and bring a significant amount of revenue. So, we are an association of owners of homes, resort amenities and retail shopping and dining opportunities. Little Known Fact #4 The first lots for sale in Sunriver were in the Meadow Village and the Central Lane areas with additional lots in Forest Park. That was in 1971 and they sold for between $5,800 and $8,500! Little Known Fact #5 When the developers first started building Sunriver in late 1968, they were required to develop the “Consolidated Plan for Sunriver.” That is our primary governing document but all its intricacies I’ll save for another time. What is significant here is that an “owner association” was required to be organized for the purpose of governing Sunriver once the developers had built it out. The transition began with little steps in 1971. However, the final exchange occurred in 1986. At that time, the ownership of common ground, roads and pathways became the property and ownership responsibility of SROA. Of course, the corporation retained ownership of the water and sewer systems. Those systems continued to generate revenue whereas the roads and pathways (among others) became the responsibility of SROA to repair and maintain. I’m certain that many of you are on the edge of you seats just waiting with bated breath for the next edition of “Little Known Facts.” Of course, if you used this article to fall fast asleep, that may be its greatest value.

He also proposed a new program to gift new property owners a ponderosa pine seedling. • Bob Stillson gave praise for the success and goodwill that the annual concert brings to the community, “even if we don’t make a profit.” He also echoed thoughts by owners who spoke at the Friday work session on making improvements to Mary McCallum park. He also had questions on the petition going to north-end owners about the proposed assisted living facility by owners of Sunriver Fitness & Aquatics. • Persida Myers, owner of Sunriver Fitness & Aquatics, provided written and oral comments regarding a request of the SROA Board to reconsider its decision relative to approving use of the property as an assisted living facility. She asked that her letter be printed in the Scene. Association operations • Administration: Annual meeting preparations were coordinated by staff. Assisted with Caldera Springs Page 4

annexation evaluation. • Accounting: Sent out 2019 budget packets to department heads along with timeline and monthly budget spreadsheets. Work with the IT Department and Price Fronk & Co. on BendBroadband audit. Continued demo presentations for new accounting software. • Communications: Created new website for the Abbot-Beaver intersection project (www.abbotbeaver circle.com) to keep everyone updated and informed on the progression of the project. The site includes photos, timeline and FAQs. Ordered additional signage (office, staff only, etc.) for SHARC and one for admin (boardroom/restroom). • Community Development: Submittal activity remains strong. Training has begun on the newly-hired code enforcement officer, Marty Seamons, who will replace the retiring Shane Hostbjor. Seamons was hired internally and was formerly a lead tech in SROA Public Works Department. • Natural Resources: War on Weeds was a success with more than 250 bags of noxious weeds collected. Staff continues to pull weeds on commons and provide identification guidance to owners. Ladder fuel reduction and tree thinning continues on commons. • IT: Working with CenturyLink on the vault near the Abbot-Beaver intersection project. Assisted with IT needs for the annual meeting. Worked with Day Wireless to realign the emergency tower broadcast equipment after it was moved from one location to another.

Fleet crews made repairs to the sander truck and to a La Pine fire truck. • Recreation/SHARC: The Jonny Lang concert and owner North Pool event went smoothly, considering the owner event had to be moved indoors to SHARC due to wildfire smoke. The smoke also prompted intermitted closures of SHARC’s outdoor aquatics. The remodel of the SHARC breakroom is almost complete. Lights have been ordered to complete the LED conversion at the facility. Tennis/pickleball clinics/lessons activity remain strong and had to be moved indoors on several very hot days (thanks to the partnership with Sunriver Resort, attendees were able to use the indoor courts at Sage Springs).

This eradication program is meant to reduce the bullfrog population and prevent future breeding as a mature female bullfrog can lay more than 20,000 eggs in a season. SROA’s continued management and monitoring will help prevent future population explosions. It would be almost impossible to completely rid Sunriver of all bullfrogs as they can enter the water system via other area waterways, including the Deschutes River.

SROA NEWS – The Sun River and Lake Aspen saw a lot of activity this summer relating to the protection of the Oregon spotted frog by reducing the number of invasive bullfrogs. Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) has worked closely with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services (USFWS) for several years to protect the Oregon spotted frog, a species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Sunriver’s waterways are one of the primary spotted frog habitats in Oregon. As SROA progresses toward a spotted frog Safe Harbor Agreement with the USFWS, bullfrog eradication within Lake Aspen and the Sun River will continue each summer. Bullfrogs are not native in Oregon and eat the Oregon spotted frog. For the last two summers, the bullfrogs faced an all-out assault led by SROA’s consultant

Key takeaways from the report include: • Smoke from the 2017 fires was widespread, causing 451 unhealthy air quality readings across the state, a 65 percent increase over the highest number of readings between 2000 and 2016. • Employees and working proprietors lost $16 million in earnings, and $368,000 and $1.5 million in local and state tax receipts, respectively. • Impacts were felt most strongly by food and beverage service ($13.9 million), lodging ($13.5 million), followed by retail businesses ($3.9 million). • Businesses and organizations reported that the most significant problems were: smoke (90 percent), customer perceptions regarding firerelated discomfort or danger (75 percent) and road closures (60 percent) – all of which led to a decline in visitation and spending/revenue. • About half of the survey respondents indicated that the 2017 fire season will have an adverse effect on their business in 2018, primarly because consumers will have a diminished perception of their area due to the fires, and their area has a diminished appeal due to fire damage. Economic impacts • $51.5 million loss in visitor

spending attributable to 2017’s wildfires. • $16 million in earnings for employees and working proprietors was lost, as was $368,000 and $1.5 million in local and state tax receipts, respectively. • In terms of absolute sales lost, impacts were largest in Deschutes and Multnomah counties, followed by Curry and Jackson counties.

• In terms of proportional sales lost, impacts were greatest in Central Oregon and the Columbia River Gorge. • Impacts were greatest on food and beverage service businesses and lodging, followed by retail businesses. • Respondents to the business survey indicated that impacts were greatest from the Eagle Creek Fire, followed by the Chetco Bar Fire, then the Milli Fire and a constellation of fires in the Central Oregon Cascades. • Businesses reported that smoke was the most prominent problem, followed by customer perceptions regarding fire-related discomfort. Road closures and evacuations were also notable concerns.

SROA NEWS – At the Sept. 15 meeting of the SROA Board of Directors, the board approved a 3 percent discount on maintenance fees when an owner opts to prepay their annual amount in full. Owners may also choose their payment option. Use the form on page 5 or online at www.sunriverowners.org. Go to Member Services > Maintenance Fee Option Request. The form will open in a new window. You must submit the form – via USPS mail or online – by Nov. 16. When you fill out your payment option request, you can choose to make your option permanent by checking yes or no. SROA will automatically bill you for your choice in 2019 and beyond unless you tell us otherwise. PLEASE NOTE: If you previously chose the permanent payment option, you do not need to fill out the request again. 1. Annual prepayment (receive 3 percent discount) Prepay your 2019 maintenance fee and receive a 3 percent discount. This saves your association the expense of printing and mailing the entire invoice book. You will receive your invoice in late December/early January. Your one-time payment must be received by SROA no later than Jan. 25, 2019. PLEASE NOTE: The 3 percent discount applies to the regular maintenance fee assessment only. Special assessment payments (such as SHARC) are not subject to the 3 percent discount.

Call us today to customize a schedule right for you!

2. Electronic funds transfers (no discount for monthly payments) The second alternative is to authorize SROA to automatically withdraw monthly payments from your bank account. Check the appropriate box on the form on this page or in the online form. You’ll receive an enrollment form instead of an invoice book, saving everyone time and money. 3. Pay online (3 percent discount only if paid in full) You can also pay any amount, anytime, online with a credit or debit card through SROA’s secure online processor. Once you receive the invoice, log on to the SROA website and select “Pay Maintenance Fees Online” under Member Services in the menu bar. This will take you to the payment site where you can pay the amount shown on your invoice. You can also make monthly payments online with your card. All online payments are subject to a 2.5 percent convenience fee. Members who do not choose a payment option will automatically receive a 12-month invoice book in the mail in late December/ early January. The SROA Board of Directors determines the amount of the 2019 maintenance fee at the November board meeting. That amount will be announced in the December Scene and on the SROA website.

Oregon under severe drought conditions We take it for granted that when we turn on a faucet we expect water to be there. But what if it isn’t? If you think it’s been hotter and drier than ever before, you’re correct. A recent report has labeled almost all of Oregon as experiencing “severe” drought conditions and Deschutes County falling under “extreme” drought conditions. The report, released in late August by the National Inte-

grated Drought Information System (NIDIS), abnormal dryness (or drought) is currently affecting more than 3.8 million people in Oregon – which is almost 100 percent of the state’s population. Much of the western United States is suffering under drought conditions – with Oregon suffering the worst. Overall, the Pacific Northwest received less than 50 percent of its usual precipitation this year.

Chamber potlucks return The Sunriver Area Community potlucks return to SHARC (Sunriver Homeowners Aquatics & Recreation Center) at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct 10. Organized by the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce and their committee volunteers, the potlucks occur on the second Wednesday of each month from October to May. During the long winter months, the potlucks allow the local residents an opportunity to get out of the house and reacquaint themselves with other community residents. All residents of Sunriver, as well as residents in the communities south of Sunriver, are welcome. Entertainment will be provided by the Bookends, a local Simon and Garfunkel tribute band and a fan favorite from

last year. Table settings will be provided by Flowers at Sunriver and freshly brewed decaf coffee is donated by Brewed Awakenings. The cost to attend is $5 per person and $15 per family for up to six people). Participants T  P,  

Temperatures were also warmer and considerably above normal in many regions – adding to drought conditions. Evaporative demand drought index studies have also confirmed just how thirsty the atmosphere has been. It’s drier, sunnier and windier along the Pacific Coast states, with low humidity levels pulling a lot of water out of the system. For more information, visit www.drought.gov.

SROA NEWS – During its September meeting, the SROA Board of Directors approved the formation of two task forces and is seeking owner volunteers to populate each one. The task force group will consist of no less than five members to a maximum of nine (not including staff or board liaison). Those interested in applying can fill out a Volunteer Service Form on the SROA website (www.sunriverowners.org). Go to Online Office to Forms/Reservations/Questions. Be sure to include which group you’re interested in in the box labeled “My Interests Are.” Infrastructure & Amenities Master Plan update The first task force will be specific to revising SROA’s Infrastructure & Amenities Master Plan (IAMP). The mission of this task force will include: engagement of the general membership and to review past IAMP work, as well as various other resources, in developing a recommended update to the IAMP master plan, create a list of prioritized IAMP elements and create a proposed implementation timeline for each element of the plan with justifications for the prioritization. Tasks will also include compiling information from previous owner surveys, reserve replacement schedules, owner and stakeholder engagement and input as well as the review of emerging trends and regional interests that may impact the IAMP and/or its prioritization. Task force completion time will be Aug. 1, 2019.

Mad about mushrooms By Amanda Accamando, Nature Center Manager This fall the Sunriver Nature Center is excited to partner with the Central Oregon Mushroom Club to present the second annual FungiFest and Mushroom Show on Oct. 6. Thanks to the popularity of mushroom foraging (also referred to as ‘mushroom hunting’) in the pacific Northwest, the Mushroom Club has a large, enthusiastic and knowledgeable membership core that contributes their expertise to making the show a success. Right about now, in the days leading up to the early October show, a dedicated group of club members begin scouring National Forest lands from high in the Cascades all the way to the coast. Armed with their U.S. Forest Service mushroom per-

mits and collection baskets and donned in brightly colored vests (mushroom hunting season also coincides with game hunting season), they set out to collect a diverse selection of fungi for the display at the nature center. But even the most experienced forager had to start somewhere which is why on the day before the show, a group of 15 newbie mushroom foragers will set out on a guided “adult” field trip led by the experts of the club. Just last year, I was one of those newbies, learning for the first time how to distinguish between different groups of mushrooms, how different forest habitats yield different mushrooms, and how to spot a white chanterelle on the forest floor just as it’s starting to break through the soil. Perhaps the greatest takeaway that day was the importance of vetting your mushrooms before eating – a lesson worth repeating frequently as one becomes more

comfortable with foraging. However, my newly developed foraging skills were rewarded with baskets full of chanterelles to take home and ensured that my first mushroom hunt would certainly not be my last. Last year, more than 70 species of fungi were on display at the inaugural show, most of which were identified personally by Linda Gilpin, local mushroom expert and one of the club’s leaders.

Chinese medicine doll arrives at Second Tern If you happened to be a doctor in 19th century China, you would find it pretty hard to diagnose the problems of your women patients. All the doctors then were men, and Chinese custom decreed that women could not undress in front of, or even be touched by, a strange man. A solution was created in the form of the Chinese medicine doll – a handsomely sculptured figure of a woman’s unclothed body. The patient could hold the doll, explain her symptoms and point to places on the body where she was ailing. The doctor would then try to prescribe a remedy. If a patient was extremely modest, her husband could bring the doll for a consultation. To the delight of volunteers at the Second Tern Thrift store, one of these medical dolls – also known as a “doctor’s lady” – recently arrived as a donation. “At first, we thought it was simply a rather sexy figurine, something to display as an art T  T,  

Ponderosa sale, transplant workshop Ponderosa pines are a rare appreciating asset and are hardy, valuable trees as well. Millions of acres of lodgepole pine forests throughout the West have been destroyed by pine beetles. Fortunately, ponderosa pine is a much more resilient tree than the common lodgepole and are even fire resistant when mature. Ponderosa pines are also drought tolerant, once they get established, and only need occasional, deep watering for the first two summers. Fall is the perfect time to plant a ponderosa and the Sunriver Nature Center has you covered. Ponderosa seedlings will be on sale at the nature center from Oct. 12 through Oct. 21 (closed Monday and

October brings two meteor showers By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager As we head into October, we are enjoying nice fall nights. I am very excited to see what turns up this fall. The observatory will be open through Oct. 27 on Wednesday and Saturday for evening programs from 8 to 10 p.m. and solar viewing Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our solar program is included with the Sunriver Nature Center admission, so be sure to come by and check out the sun. Fall nights are great for viewing galaxies and other fall wonders our sky offers. While Saturn and Mars still demand our attention, there are plenty of deep sky objects to keep the telescopes busy. We also have two meteor showers this month. First is the Draconids shower, which produces about 10 meteors per hour. It is produced by the dust grains left behind by comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner, which was discovered in 1900. The Draconids is an unusal shower, as it’s best viewing is in the early evening. The shower runs annually from Oct. 6-10, and the peak this year is on Oct. 8, which works well, since there will be no moonlight to spoil the show. Later in the month, the Orionids meteor shower returns. The Orionids is an average shower producing about 20 meteors per hour at their peak. It is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Halley, which has been known and observed since ancient times.This shower usually peaks on Oct. 21, but it is highly irregular. The nearly full moon will block some of the fainter meteors this year, but the Orionids tend to be fairly bright, so it could still be

a good show. Best viewing will be to the east after midnight. Be sure to find a dark location far from city lights. While October offers us some clear and cool nights, it is some of the best times for locals and visitors to view the heavens without the crowds of the summer. The summer skies have moved away, but the great fall constellations allow for wonderful views of galaxies and deep space wonders. This is the time for us to start planning for 2019. The staff will be looking to add new programs for the summer, and many ideas

will be looked at for 2019. Our outreach programs will be top on the list, as we look to see what works best for the observatory and its educational goals. We will continue our work on our school programs, along with getting more work done on the new inflatable planetarium. Follow us on Facebook to follow the latest posts, updates and events. We welcome new ideas and are here to answer your sky questions. Please email observatory@sunriver naturecenter.org and say hello. I look forward seeing you at the observatory.

Wild mushroom harvesting is the largest all-cash business in North America (that’s legal!) yet it’s mostly hidden in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To write “Mus,” award-winning author Langdon Cook embedded himself in the shadowy subculture, reporting from both rural fringes and big city eateries. Join us for a fascinating evening as Cook introduces us to the pickers, buyers, and chefs in a patch-to-plate slideshow that reveals this secretive, frontier-style economy in action. “The Mushroom Hunters” won a 2014 Pacific Northwest Book Award. Cook is also the author of “Upstream: Searching for Wild Salmon, from River to

Table,” selected by Amazon. com for its Best Books of 2017. Cook’s writing appears in numerous publications and has been nominated for a James Beard Award (2016) and a Pushcart Prize. His on-screen credits include the Travel Channel and PBS. He lives in Seattle with his wife and two children. The program will be held a t S H A RC Aquatics & Recreation Center, located at 57250 Overlook Road. Online registration is required to attend.

Metal, mixed construction art on display at the Lodge By Billye Turner Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents metal sculptors Brent Lawrence and Luke Lawrence with Courtney Holton, painter. The artists’ work appears in the upper and lower galleries through Nov. 25. The artists will attend a public reception in their honor on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Brent Lawrence, sculptor and a third-generation metal worker, as a young boy observed his father’s early artistic endeavors welding with wire. Intrigued, he learned how to use an oxyacetylene torch, cutting daisies from Campbell Soup can lids. At 10, he became not only an artist but an entrepreneur, selling his creations to his grade school teachers; he continued art pursuits through early high school. Following graduation from Portland State University, Lawrence worked in a bank (noting, “in a cubical”) and decided art was of greater interest. He returned to Sheridan, Oregon and worked with his father, noted

his preference for hands-on fabrication with the metals of his early training. He broadened his creative style, experimenting with chemicals to produce patinas. Over two laborious years, he perfected how to adhere these unique patinas to steel and stainless steel, and later adapted to a plasma torch to more readily cut steel into unique shapes. Now, after 30 years of artistic creation and experimentation, he painstakingly creates his modernized expression of man’s earliest art form – cave drawings. With elongated leather gloves and leather apron, eye protection and charcoal filter mask, he creates his difficult and long-desired replication of the Paleolithic art of 36,000 years ago. Using stylized images of elk, bison, bear, trout, salmon, even dragonflies, and paying homage to a far distant past, Brent Lawrence successfully produces his distinct and singular art.

Thus, he continues to follow the precedent of earlier generations in that his grandfather, Gary Lawrence, learned metal working from his father. Hence four Lawrence generations have created with metal. Galleries in Park City (UT), Sedona (AZ), Whitefish (MT), and Portland (OR) feature the art of Luke Lawrence who has worked as a professional artist since 2009. His fire art sculpture won third place in the 2018 Bend Winter Fest competition. Also in the current exhibition, Courtney Holton shows his recent “construction series,” featuring a dark background

painted on canvas to which he adheres embellished metallic strips, producing a 3D effect. He also shows painted ink jet photographic portraits of Native Americans, desiring “to remember and to respect.” The artist, a native Oregonian, divides his time between Bend and southern France where he presently studies printmaking with a renowned French printer. The gallery is open to all during resort hours.

New national report shows where you live influences how long you live A new national report on life expectancy at the census tract level reveals that how long you live can vary widely depending on the Oregon neighborhood you call home. The report, released today as part of the United States SmallArea Life Expectancy Estimates Project (USALEEP), shows the highest life expectancy at birth in Oregon is 89.1 years, in a section of northwest Portland that hugs the southern border of Forest Park. The lowest life expectancy in the state—66.2 years—is in a part of central Medford running along the west side of Interstate 5. Life expectancy at birth for the state as a whole is 79.6 years, according to officials with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Center for Health Statistics who analyzed the national data. The national life expectancy was 78.8 years as of midyear 2013. "This is the first time we are able to look at differences in how long people are expected to live at the neighborhood level," said Jennifer Woodward, Ph.D., state registrar and manager of the Center for Health Statistics, based at the OHA Public Health Division.

About 5 percent of Oregon census tracts could not be calculated for longevity because the tracts had too few residents, too few deaths or their populations didn’t represent the entire age spectrum. Nationally, 11.3 percent of tracts could not be calculated. The report demonstrates that opportunities for people to be healthy are not shared equally among neighborhoods, even when they’re just a few miles apart in the same county. For example, life expectancy in a swath of southeast Eugene is 87.9 years, while it’s 70.2 years across town in a northwest section of the city. "This report tells us we have a lot of work to do to ensure everyone in Oregon has a chance to achieve optimal health no matter where they live, work, play, learn and age," said Katrina Hedberg, M.D., M.P.H., state health officer and epidemiologist at the Public Health Division. "In Oregon, as in other parts of the country, that’s not happening." USALEEP is a joint effort of the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The report represents the first time that nationwide census tract-level life expectancy estimates, based on state death

records and population estimates from the U.S. Bureau of the Census, have been available. Oregon has been working to improve opportunities for health across the state. As part of its effort, the state Public Health Division published an update of its State Health Assessment in July that provides a comprehensive, data-driven description of the health of people statewide. The assessment is the first step toward updating Oregon’s State Health Improvement Plan that will guide state and local public health interventions. It found that social factors such as housing affordability, food insecurity and educational outcomes are undermining improvements in health outcomes. This is despite strides in reducing opioid-related deaths, HIV infection, teen pregnancy rates and smoking rates. "Where a person calls home should not influence longevity, but it does," said Hedberg, noting that health equity and cultural responsiveness are among the biggest opportunities to improve health. "We need to continue examining factors that affect neighborhood-byneighborhood differences we see in these data." Oregon's census tract map and data file can be found on the Oregon Public Health Division’s website. The national report and data files are available on the NCHS website.

Shaun Pigott will speak at the Anglers Club meething this month.

Speakers return for Fall River fishery, river update The Sunriver Anglers Club would like to invite everyone to their Thursday, Oct. 18 monthly meeting at 7 p.m. at SHARC. Our speakers will be Shaun Pigott and Darek Staab. Both gentlemen are members of the Deschutes Redband Trout Unlimited chapter. Pigott is the current volunteer chapter president, while Staab works for Trout Unlimited, as their Upper Deschutes Home Rivers Initiative Project Manager. Last fall these two gave us a presentation on what projects they were working on the Fall River, and what they hoped to accomplish. They are returning to update us on these projects. We will hear about their discussion with the state on possible removal of the Tubes on the lower Fall River. There also will be a report of a project building a fish ladder near the hatchery

diversion dam. The Redbands chapter currently has more than 400 members dedicated to working with all organizations in the area to improve the Upper Deschutes Watershed. Quoting from their website, their mission statement is “To conserve, protect, and restore the coldwater fisheries within the Deschutes River watershed by engaging our communities in education, stewardship, collaboration, and advocacy.” This dedicated organization works with the best scientists, policy makers, and lawyers to help ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy fishing our great streams, rivers, and lakes. Their goal is that through restoration and conservation, wild and native trout populations will thrive. We will hear much about

Bake sale to benefit those in need

Help fill Don’s truck during ‘Local’s Night’ at Artists’ Gallery Mark your calendars for a night of fun, community and giving. Artists’ Gallery Sunriver is celebrating the generosity of Central Oregon with food, wine/beer, raffles and live music from 4 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 19. Bring a non-perishable food item and you’ll be given a ticket to be entered in a raffle. The more items you bring, the more opportunities to win. Raffle items include art, jewelry, gift cards and more. The gallery’s goal is to “Fill Don’s Truck” and provide the local Care and Share food bank with the staples needed to feed those in need this fall and winter. Especially critical are protein-rich foods such as canned tuna and chili. And who is this mysterious “Don” guy anyway? Well, Don is the husband of gallery artist Deni Porter. He is loaning his truck to the gallery to collect the donated food items during the fundraiser and transportation to Care and Share. Artist Deni Porter is donating her painting titled, “Sunriver Care and Share Bears Fill Don’s Truck.” This original artwork will be auctioned off the night of the

event and all proceeds go to Care and Share. And as an added bonus, the gallery will also have preholiday shopping treasures to choose from. Those attending will get a preview of items created just for gift giving. Sponsored by First Interstate Bank and Sunriver Brewing

Company, everyone is invited to join fellow Central Oregonians in celebrating a harvest of friendship and generosity. 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

Visions of Sugar Plums Food/ Bake Sale Extravaganza will be held Saturday, Nov. 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The food/bake sale will be held at SHARC, located at is 57250 Overlook Road in Sunriver. Over the last three years Visions of Sugar Plums has raised more than $30,000. The proceeds go to local charities, such as Care for Kids, Neighbor Impact, Care and Share, Newberry Habitat for Humanity, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and others. “Visions of Sugar Plums Food/Bake Sale has for several years provided funding in support of the critical home repair program for veterans, the elderly and disabled,” said Dwane Krumme, Newberry Habitat for Humanity executive director.

“This funding provides two key benefits. First, it directly assists low income homeowners to make critical repairs to their home to improve their health and safety. Second, this sustained support allows us to leverage donated funds from the sale to receive additional funding from foundations and other funding organizations. That allows us to do even more critical home repairs.” Stock up your freezer for the holidays with all kinds of delicious desserts, appetizers, and main courses. There will be every kind of baked good imaginable, including gluten free options, as well as some amazing holiday gifts for your holiday entertaining. This event is the gift that keeps on giving.

Fly Tying Corner: Pale morning dun By Phil Fischer This month’s pattern features a pale morning dun parachute pattern. This time of year brings a change of season in Central Oregon. This means cooler weather, sometimes unsettled conditions, and a prolific pale morning dun (PMD) hatch on the Crooked River. There is nothing better than casting a 3-weight rod to rainbows taking pale morning dun mayflies of the surface of the Crooked River. This pattern also works well on the Fall River, Metolious, Upper Deschutes and other rivers during their PMD hatches, which occur earlier in the year than on the Crooked. But PMDs on the Crooked in early October can be amazing. It is a whole lot of fun to stand in one spot and cast to a specific fish until hooked, then move along to the next fish, and next, and next, never stepping from the same spot. I have had days where I spend most of the time within a 100-yard stretch of river and can cast to rising fish throughout the 3 to 4-hour hatch period. The best hatches occur on overcast days with moderate humidity in the air. T  T,  

our annual transplanting forest seedlings workshop on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Join Lee Stevenson, founder of Project Ponderosa, for this hands-on workshop and forest field trip to learn how to identify and transplant a variety of native forest seedlings, including grand fir, white fir, mountain hemlock, snowbush, manzanita, mahala mat, kinnikinnnick, paintbrush, lupine, penstemon and more. You’ll learn where to find these native species locally and how to successfully collect and transplant them into your own yard. You’ll also have an opportunity to collect seedlings during the field trip. Workshop participants need to acquire a free “transplant permit” from the U.S. Forest Service office on Deschutes Market Road in Bend. This workshop is limited to 12 participants and early registration is recommended. Cost is $25/non-member and $22/Sunriver Nature Center member.

The PMD pattern is tied with a unique blend of materials that help make this pattern especially effective on the Crooked River. It is tied on a Firehole 419 hook, which is a barbless competition hook. It features a wide gape that allows me to tie a very small fly that has the advantage of the hooking capabilities of a larger hook. I tie this fly in a standard parachute style with a wing that is Zelon, which helps durability; catching many fish on the same fly can be common on the Crooked. So, durability is a good trait. I used a dyed pale-yellow goose biot for the abdomen, which creates a nicely segmented and very sparse body. Rather than the more traditional leading edge, I used a barb from the trailing edge of the goose’s flight feather, as it enables more and tighter wraps to form the insect’s segments. I use a unique method to split the microfibets in the tail. Watch closely in the video and follow the steps precisely. I also use Cul De Canard feathers (CDC) in the dubbed thorax of this pattern. CDC feathers come from right around the oil gland on waterfowl, and the feather is saturated with natural oils, and it repels water extraordinarily well. This makes it a perfect material for dry flies in the riffles and runs on the Crooked River. CDC can become saturated after hooking a fish but can be easily refreshed with some dry shake and a little CDC oil. I bought a small bottle of CDC oil many years ago from the Trout Hunter Fly Shop in Island Park, Idaho. It has lasted me a long time. The hackle is a whiting dry fly saddle and is tied parachute style to enable it to ride low in the water, much like the natural.

This pattern has worked well for me on many rivers over time. It can be tied to imitate the PMD, or other mayflies by substituting materials to match the natural. I often tie it to imitate a blue wing olive dun for this hatch during October on the Fall River so grab your 3-weight rod and head to the Crooked River this month to fish the PMD hatch. You won’t be disappointed.

their work on the Fall River, Metolius River and Whychus Creek. Even though these spring creeks are a high priority, they also are working with the many other groups in our area, getting the winter flow rates of the Upper Deschutes raised and consistent. There is much happening on the plans for the water in the Deschutes River. Come hear from the Trout Unlimited Redbands chapter’s perspective on how these plans are progressing. Come early to the meeting and find out who is bragging about the big fish they caught in our club’s early October outing to Pronghorn Lake. This private lake, east of Klamath Falls, is just south of the metropolis of Bonanza. This is the second year the club has visited this lake, and the participants are looking forward to matching the many 20-inch plus fish caught last year. October is still a great month for fishing. Watch for email blasts on possible late season club outings. In the past, we

have visited Crane Prairie Reservoir, East Lake and Hosmer Lake and had some great success. Have your warm clothes ready and be ready to fish. Mark your calendars for Monday, Dec. 3 for our annual holiday party held at Sunriver Resort’s Great Hall. This is a great night of food and camaraderie. Board members are finalizing the menu and collecting items for our silent auction. Our top hustlers are out beating the bushes procuring some great items for the auction. At the November meeting, the club will be holding their annual elections for new officers and board members for the 2019 year. 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 check out our website at www. sunriveranglers.org or contact Chris Breault, Sunriver Angler Club president at president@ sunriveranglers.org.

There will be a first-ever nationwide test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) on Wednesday, Oct. 3. IPAWS encompasses the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alert System (WEA). The test, coordinated by FEMA and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will be broadcast via radio, TV, cable stations and wireless carriers. In Oregon, the WEA portion of the test commences at 11:18 a.m. Pacific Time, and the EAS portion follows at 11:20 a.m. Pacific Time. The test will assess the operational readiness of the infrastructure for distribution of a national message and determine whether improvements are needed. The test was origi-

nally scheduled to take place this Sept. 20, although FEMA held Oct. 3 as a back-up date (the test was postponed due to hurricane Florence). For further information on the test, go to https:// www.fema.gov/emergencyalert-test. No action is required by the public. IPAWS is a national system for local alerting that provides authenticated emergency alerts and information from emergency officials to the public through radio, TV, cell phones and Internet applications. Although this is the fourth EAS nationwide test, it is the first national WEA test. “This is the first time a wireless alert has been tested in Oregon, and we don't want anyone to be caught off guard,” said

Oregon Office of Emergency Management Director Andrew Phelps. “No matter where someone is – at work, in their car, at school, at the doctor’s office, anywhere – they should hear and see the alert on their phone,” said Andrew Phelps, Oregon Office of Emergency Management Director. The nationwide test ensures that in times of an emergency or disaster, public safety officials have methods and systems that will deliver urgent alerts and warnings to the public. Alerts are rare, but can happen locally, statewide, or nationally. In addition, the test is a way to assess the operational readiness of the infrastructure for distribution of a national message, and determine whether technological improvements are needed.

Beginning next year, the Deschutes National Forest has chosen Deschutes Recreation to operate as a campground concessionaire on the forest. The Deschutes National Forest selected Deschutes Recreation, a subsidiary of Northwest Land Management, to manage Forest Service campgrounds beginning Jan. 1, 2019 through December 2024. The Deschutes National Forest will work with Deschutes Recreation to ensure the transition of management is smooth and visitors enjoy their experience in forest campgrounds. Of the 80 campgrounds on the Deschutes National Forest, 69 will be included in the new permit. Campgrounds on the Newberry National Volcanic Monument including: Chief Paulina, Cinder Hill, East Lake, Little Crater, Newberry Group, Ogden Group, Paulina Lake, Prairie and McKay Crossing will return to being operated by the employees and volunteers of the Deschutes National Forest on Jan. 1. Two campgrounds on the Sisters Ranger District will be managed under a cooperative agreement. The Deschutes National Forest has been using concessionaires in some campgrounds since the 1990s. Most permit terms are either five or 10 years in length. At the end of each permit term the concessionaire opportunity is advertised to the public and a panel of neutral Forest Service employees select the best candidate for the next permit based on their bids, package materials and references. The previous concessionaire permit was held by Hoodoo Recreation.

Be aware of charity fraud With Hurricane Florence hitting the East Coast last month… and the on-going disaster recovery efforts stretching from Hawaii to Puerto Rico… you need to be able to tell the legitimate charities from the frauds. It is no secret that charity scams spike after significant events, particularly natural disasters. The news and your social media feeds are filled with photos of chaos and destruction. You feel helpless, and the fraudster knows it. These criminals will create fake social media accounts and websites to make it easy for you to give. Just click the link, and you will feel like you’ve made a difference. Unfortunately, if you pick the wrong organization, those most in need will never see your donation. Along with the Federal Trade

Commission, FEMA and other partner agencies, we offer these tips for safe giving: • Donate to charities you know and trust. • Designate the donation to go to a specific disaster relief effort as opposed to a general fund. • Never click on links or open attachments in unsolicited email or social media posts. • Verify the legitimacy of any e-mail or social media solicitation by contacting the organization directly through a trusted contact number. • Beware of organizations with copycat names similar to, but not exactly the same as, those of reputable charities. • Avoid cash donations if possible. Pay by credit card or write a check directly to the charity. Do not make checks payable to individuals.

• Legitimate charities do not normally solicit donations via money transfer services. They also won’t ask for donations via gift cards. • Most legitimate charity websites end in .org rather than .com. • Make contributions directly, rather than relying on others to make a contribution on your behalf. Those affected by recent disasters can use your help – and there are plenty of legitimate charities out there to do that work. You just need to do your beans, mashed potatoes and smoked onion gravy, 2) chicken parmesan, 3) large Caesar salad. Dessert will be a gluten free brownie with peppermint ice cream.

Rotarians World Polio Day celebrates dramatic reduction in polio victims By Mark Dennett Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease. There is no cure, but there are safe and effective vaccines. World Polio Day, established by Rotary International over a decade ago to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk, will be honored again on Oct. 24. In 2007, the Gates Foundation gave Rotary a $100 million challenge grant for polio eradication, and in 2009, increased it to $355 million. Rotarians have matched this grant with local donations. From 350,000 cases in 1988, Rotary and its worldwide partners have reduced cases to less than 22 in 2017. New Rotarian joins local club Sunriver resident and retired contractor Ron Wood is the club’s newest member. Wood

and his wife Melissa have been married for 35 years. Wood’s contractor career was in California’s Bay Area, but he first fell in love with building in his youth working alongside his dad doing historic home renovations in Virginia. If you are interested in joining Rotary, contact membership chair, Dr. Harry Hamilton (541-593-2934) or attend one of the weekly meetings every Wednesday at 7:15 a.m. at the Sunriver Lodge. Rotarians clean up Highway 97 On Sept. 29, Rotarians were once again busy cleaning up along Highway 97 between the two entrances to Sunriver (Exit 151 and Exit 153).

Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware – fire can happen anywhere By Jim Bennett, Sunriver Fire & Rescue How fortunate are we that residential fires occur infrequently within the Sunriver community? Certainly, very fortunate. This is not just good luck and crossed fingers. There is a lot more behind the scenes in the reduction of residential structure fires locally and throughout the nation. As mentioned in previous articles, enhanced building codes, increased use of flame resistant materials, better reporting, and fire alert and response technologies have all reduced the occurrence of fire in homes. What can’t be overlooked though are the efforts of the individual residents, and not just adults, but children, too. Most children are exposed to fire safety in school when the fire engine and firefighters come for a visit and talk about the dangers of fire and what to do during an emergency. There’s always one or more kids in the room who loudly proclaim “we don’t do that!” when talking about fire safety in the home. The hope, and one of our best motivators,

is young people going home and reminding the rest of the family on the importance of fire safety. Oct. 7-13 is National Fire Prevention week and is the perfect opportunity to set aside some time to sit down and discuss fire safety with family members. What’s the top priority in a fire? To get out, of course, and alert others of the danger. The acronym EDITH is what it’s all about – Exit-Drills-InThe-Home. Start your EDITH planning by identifying escape routes throughout the home (two in each room). Do you have bedrooms on the second story? Don’t get caught with a long drop. Equip upstairs rooms with foldable or rope style ladders. A family fun, but seriously educational, EDITH activity is learning your home from a floor level. If fire is approaching and you must escape and crawl along the floor to avoid the thickest smoke, could you do it and find your way out? The doors look a little different when you can’t see them, and you are moving about on your hands and knees without the ability to see very

agreements in the Deschutes County Management Agreement. –Fire reserves report: Chief Moor presented a report outlining that the department’s firefighter reserve program does meets critical criteria with Bureau of Labor & Industries, IRS, PERS, Department of Labor – FLSA and the Oregon Department of Revenue. –Approved change order for ambulance remount and refurbishment for an additional $7,276 to include a new safety restraint system for crews. –Police Department reorganization: Chief Darling presented the board with a proposal to add a full-time lieutenant position to the department. This person will take on some of the administrative duties that the sergeants are doing now, which will allow the sergeants more time in the field. This position will also provide enhanced front-line supervision, reduce risk management, provide a clear line of succession and succession planning as well as a direct line of command in the ab-

sence of the chief. –Approved Resolution 2018-13 amending the police sergeant job description. –Approved Resolution 2018-14 establishing a police lieutenant position and job description. –Discussed budget committee needed for 2018/19 fiscal year. The board will bring back ideas for members to populate the committee at the October meeting. –Accepted August 2018 unaudited financials.

well. Try this with the family, with everyone blindfolded. You might be surprised that the home we know, we don’t really know. Make sure to also identify a safe meeting place outside for all family members. ABC, not the TV network, the fire extinguisher. Do you have at least two fire extinguishers in your home and are they rated “ABC”? This means they are good for typical combustibles (paper, wood, etc.), liquids and electrical. Make sure everyone knows where they are and check to make sure they are fully charged. Talk about using them correctly using the PASS method… PULL the pin, AIM at the base of the fire, SQUEEZE the trigger and SWEEP back and forth at the base of the fire. How about smoke alarms? Does every bedroom and living space have a smoke alarm? Sadly, there are stories of “no smoke alarm” or “the batteries were dead” and even sometimes “the batteries were taken out.” Every one of those incidents of injury or death may have been preventable with an operable smoke alarm.

New book celebrates Sunriver By Deon Stonehouse Sunriver is 50 years old! On Saturday, Oct. 20 at 5 p.m. Sunriver Books & Music will celebrate this anniversary with a slide show presentation of Tor Hanson’s latest book, aptly titled, “Sunriver.” Hanson’s last book “Camp Abbot,” gives a slice of Sunriver’s history, the time during WWII when it was a training camp for engineers needed in the war effort. “Sunriver” spans a much longer time frame, from the time of the mastodon to current day.

Full of great photos showing what came before (black angus cattle happily munching near their home now known as the Great Hall) to today’s Sunriver Music Festival (also held in the aforementioned hall, though without the black angus cattle). For years, we have heard the desire of visitors and residents for a book that told about Sunriver, what to do, where to do it and what came before. Hanson answers all these questions. Want to know the story about the development of current day Sunriver? It is

right here in the book. Curious about the earlier explorers? They are included. Sunriver’s commitment to the environment, one of our main reasons for settling here, is highlighted. The Sunriver Nature Center is at the heart of what Sunriver is about, humans attempting to live in harmony with the environment, being good stewards of the forest and the many creatures that have lived here long before houses for people were contemplated. Hanson points out the significant contribution of individuals working toward making this dream a

This is the perfect book to give guests in advance of their time in vacation and for residents to read as well. Hanson’s last presentation was informative, fun and expertly presented. We are eagerly anticipating his new book. Sign up to attend by calling 541-593-2525, emailing sun riverbooks@sunriverbooks.com or stopping by Sunriver Books & Music, located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver.

Strong attendance, donations highlight SRMF 41st season As reported to the Sunriver Music Festival’s Board of Trustees, Leonard Bernstein and inspired programming proved a winning combination for the Festival’s 41st season. “Four out of the six ticketed summer concerts were sold out and the other two were well-attended,” states Pam Beezley, the festival’s executive director. “Overall sales grew almost $6,000 from last year’s summer season, proving the popularity of the Bernstein-inspired programs created by maestro George Hanson.” Beezley added that one of

the most satisfying results of the 41st season was an increase in fundraising. The festival’s two major fundraisers – the Swings Fore Strings golf tournament and the Festival Faire auction gala – both increased in net proceeds this year and that allowed the Festival to award more scholarships through the Young Artists Scholarship program. “Many concert attendees are unaware that a major mission of the festival is to encourage the next generation of artists,” explains Beezley. “This year we awarded $39,400 to 26 students between the ages T  SRMF,  

Expand your horizons during worldly book discussions By Deon Stonehouse Globalization, travel and history make it clear that understanding other countries and cultures is in all of our best interests. It can also be fun. Books take you to new lands, letting you experience the way different cultures work and develop empathy for other parts of the world. Books expand our horizons. Every October we have a themed month featuring books set in other countries or regions. This October is A Month of Australia. Book Club discussions are held on Monday at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome. • Oct. 8 the Mystery Book Club discusses “The Dry” by Jane Harper. Twenty years ago federal agent Aaron Falk, then in his teens, left his childhood home in the farming community of Kiiewarra, Australia under a cloud of suspicion. The only thing that saved him from a murder charge was the alibi provided by his best friend Luke. A teenage girl was dead, Aaron was the prime suspect. Falk lives in Melbourne and tracks criminals in the finance sector, a job he does well. He enjoys the anonymity of the city, yet he left some part of himself behind with all the unanswered questions. Luke saved him all those years ago; now he is going back to attend Luke’s funeral. Luke murdered his wife and son, and then took his own life, sparing only his baby daughter. But Luke’s parents want to be sure; they want Aaron to repay the debt to Luke from years ago by checking to ascertain if things might have happened differently than the official version or learn why their son committed this horrible crime.

The local detective, Sgt. Greg Raco, also has questions with the official narrative, although it does seem rather cut and dried, all the evidence pointing to Luke. As Aaron delves into the secrets hidden in the drought suffering community, tempers flare. This gritty mystery is well written with clever plot twists and strong characters. • Oct. 15 the Fiction Book Club discusses “The Lieutenant” by Kate Grenville. The USA was settled by white Europeans who displaced an indigenous population; same is true for Australia. The lieutenant delves into what it was like for those early convict ships taking the English prisoners to far off Australia. Lt. Daniel Rooke, an astronomer, stands in this fictional account for the real Lt. William Dawes. Rooke is second lieutenant on the Resolution, a ship carrying marines to govern New South Wales, and he is to navigate and document a comet. On arrival Rooke becomes interested in the aborigines, going so far as to learn their language and establish a meaningful friendship. In this he is an outlier, his fellow soldiers and the convict settlers relate to the aborigines differently, their treatment often brutal. This interesting historical novel shows the harsh displacement of indigenous people and the

effect of this experience on one man who strives to make a difference. • Oct. 22 the Classics Book Club discusses “The True History of the Kelly Gang” by Peter Carey, winner of the Booker Prize. We had Billy the Kid, the Australians had Ned Kelly. Both men had strong pushes into a life of crime from local law enforcement. The author portrays young Ned Kelly born into a boister-

ous family, a gifted horseman; wanting only to set himself and his family up with a ranch that would sustain them. It was not to be, bad decisions, timing, and the power of the local establishment all played against that outcome. As pressures mounted, he eventually fled with a gang, trying to explain their situation directly to the governor with a letter laying out the police involvement in dooming the gang.

There are dramatic flights on horseback, gun battles and a rather unique final confrontation, it makes for a thrilling read. Inside that action is the tragic story of a young man, downtrodden and ill-used by the authorities. Sunriver Books & Music is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver.

players, ironically yielded Sunriver’s best showing of the year. Several of our players scored 34 points or more, with Bret Mackay copping top honors in the overall A flight with 40

points. Other distinguished A flight players were Mike Hughes with 37 and Steve Kenney with 34 points. The B flight excelled with Tom Woodruff leading the way with 38 points, Tim Swezey with 37 and Terry Tjaden and Frank Schultz with 36 apiece. Expectedly, Sunriver fared well at home in round four. Again, Bret Mackay in the A flight led the Sunriver crew with a 39-point total and Brian Guilfoyle scored 37 points. The B flight had three players scoring at least 36 points with Mike Stamler at 38, Greg Cotton at 37 and Steve Phares at 36. Yearly averages may be telling in the final result: Eagle Crest, who finished in fourth place, averaged 33.4 points per man for the season. Sunriver in third place averaged 34.7 points per man (an improvement of + .7 over 2017) Black Butte had an impressive 35.8 points per man, and finally, Widgi Creek scored a winning 35.9 points per player. Hard to beat these last two, considering this means that their nine selected scores per round were fractionally below net even par for the whole seasonal competition. Kudos to our team for their year over year improvement and to Tom Woodruff, our Resort Cup liaison, who does such a great job in coordinating our team’s effort. T  M’ G,  

SUNRIVER SCENE • OCTOBER 2018

Letters from readers Chorus of One: The climate is changing By Doug Hoschek, Sunriver Not the one we just saw as smoke. But far too many words of describing our recreation family based visitors. Aldo Leopold, clearly saw through the smoke with words of some of the finest nature writing since Thoreau. Of the many changes he shared are these. Book source: A Sand County Almanac, Conservation Esthetic chapter pages 172/173 “Or the local Chamber of Commerce, at first quiescent at the novelty of a hinter land officially labeled as wild, tastes its first blood of tourist money.” “It then wants more, wilderness or no wilderness.” “in short, the very scarcity of wild places, reacting with mores of advertising and promotion, tends to defeat any deliberate effort to prevent their growing still more scarce.” “It is clear without further discussion that mass-use involves a direct dilution of the opportunity for solitude” “That when we speak of development of recreational resources , we speak falsely

in respect of this component. Such accommodations for the crowd are not developing, (in the sense of adding or creating) anything”. “on the contrary, they are merely water poured into the already thin-soup.” Leopold further speaks to the component of perception. “the perception of the natural processes by which the land and the living things upon it have achieved their characteristic forms (evolution) and by which they maintain their existence (ecology).” “To promote perception is the only truly creative part of recreational engineering” “This fact is important, and its potential power for bettering ‘the good life’ only dimly understood.” “When Daniel Boone first entered into the forests and prairies of the ‘dark and bloody ground,’ he reduced to his possession the pure essence of ‘outdoor America.’ “He didn’t call it that. But what he found is the thing we now seek, and we deal with things, not names.” “Recreation, however, is not the outdoors, but our reaction to it.” “The incredible intricacies of the plant and animal community-the intrinsic

beauty of the organism called America, then in full bloom of her maidenhood-were as invisible and incomprehensible to Daniel Boone as they are today.” Possibly the founding of Sunriver may have been taught by an older conservationist. Aldo Leopold. A devoted servant to the forest with essays and books to share with anyone that is seeking more formally the philosophical issues involved in wildlife conservation.

Chorus of One: To the Board and Community of Sunriver.

My name is Persida Myers and I own Sunriver Fitness & Aquatics property that sits on 10 acres, in the north end of Sunriver. I have a few points I would like to bring up today as part of this presentation. During the July 21 SROA Board Meeting, our Assisted Living use was denied by unanimous vote of the board members based on the reasoning that the proposed use of our property is a residential use and thus not allowed on a commercial property,

although it is allowed under Deschutes County zoning requirement. The reasoning for the decision to deny was not supported by legal reasoning, although the board members did seek and receive legal advice in the matter as it was mentioned, it was just not made available to us. (We do want to mention that our cooperation with association in regards to this process has been very receptive since mid 2015 when we entered escrow and we have hoped for the same in return). We are urging the board to please reconsider its decision. I met with two members of the community recently and they both discussed about the property I own as “the elephant in the room in Sunriver.” It is not a good feeling to own an elephant, when you don’t want to own one. It’s not right, nor accurate, and such painting of a big cornerstone property in Sunriver is unacceptable. It is important that people and organizations in charge elevate this concept about this property and such perceptions do not fit well with well-organized places. The property failed once as a school, second as a waterpark/gym (for the reasons the

community knows better) and we are not prepared to let it fail again. We would like to thank the approximately 1,300 homeowners who have sent in the petition and that have showed compassion for their peers. We do want to mention a good number of letters that we received in regards to homeowner’s straightforward discriminating disability and age of their peers, as well as, I quote, “Sunriver bike paths are not made for walkers and wheelchairs.” The bold expression of such concepts does not make them valid. Nowhere in this country of United States, not gated community, no special purpose community can keep people out because of a limitation in physical function. In regards to concern from those that worry about how an assisted living will look in Sunriver – the facilities will blend in with the rest of the architecture and unless you’re looking for an assisted living in Sunriver – most likely you won’t find one. Editor’s note: Persida Myers read this letter into record at the Sept. 15 SROA Board of Directors meeting and asked it be published in the October Scene.

From the Editor’s Desk: Tips for living in cougar country

Oregon is home to more than 6,000 cougars, also known as mountain lions. While cougar sightings and encounters are rare, it is wise to educate yourself about these big cats. Following two recent cougar attacks in the Pacific Northwest, including Oregon’s first fatal attack, the Scene is sharing the following information provided by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife about living in “cougar county.” Native to Oregon, cougars range throughout the state, with the highest densities in the Blue Mountains in the northeastern part of the state and in the southwestern Cascade Mountains. There is a cougar that is a regularly-seen visitor to the Sunriver community. While a cougar’s primary diet is deer, they will also consume elk, raccoons, bighorn sheep and other mammals and birds. Cougars are territorial animals and maintain home a range of up to 100 miles. Most active at dawn and dusk, couSUNRIVER SCENE • OCTOBER 2018

gars are lone hunters. They are generally solitary, except for mothers who remain with their kittens for about two years. While actual cougar sightings have increased, coyotes, bobcats and dogs are often mistaken for cougars. A cougar can be identified by its large size, cat-like appearance, consistent tan or tawny body color and long tail. An adult cougar's tail is nearly three feet long and a third to a half of its total length. If you live in cougar country • Learn your neighborhood. Be aware of any wildlife corridors or places where deer or elk concentrate. • Walk pets during the day and keep them on a leash. • Keep pets indoors at dawn and dusk. Shelter them for the night. • Feed pets indoors. • Don't leave food and garbage outside. • Use animal-proof garbage cans if necessary. • Remove heavy brush from near the house and play areas. • Install motion-activated light outdoors along walkways and driveways. • Be more cautious at dawn and dusk

when cougars are most active. • Do not feed any wildlife. By attracting other wildlife, you may attract a cougar. • Keep areas around bird feeders clean. • Deer-proof your garden and yard with nets, lights, fencing. • Fence and shelter livestock. Move them to sheds or barns at night. If you recreate in cougar country • Be aware of your surroundings at all times. • Leave your dog at home or keep it on a leash. Pets running free may lead a cougar back to you. • Hike in groups. Make noise to alert wildlife of your presence. • Keep children close to you. Teach them about wildlife. • Keep campsites clean. Sleep 100 yards from cooking areas. • Store food in animal-proof containers. • Carry deterrent spray. • Be cautious at dusk and dawn. • Never feed any wildlife. Prey attracts predators. • Do not approach any wildlife; stay at least 100 yards away.

• Steer clear of baby wildlife. Mother is likely nearby. • Be alert when sitting quietly or stopping to rest. • Be especially alert at dawn and dusk when cougars are most active. • Be aware that animal calls and animal kills can attract a cougar. If you encounter a cougar • Cougars often will retreat if given the opportunity. Leave the animal a way to escape. • Stay calm and stand your ground. • Maintain direct eye contact. • Pick up children, but do so without bending down or turning your back on the cougar. • Back away slowly. • Do not run. Running triggers a chase response in cougars, which could lead to an attack. • Raise your voice and speak firmly. • If the cougar seems aggressive, raise your arms to make yourself look larger and clap your hands. • If in the very unusual event that a cougar attacks you, fight back with rocks, sticks, bear or pepper spray, tools or any items available. –Source: Oregon Department Page 39
