Sunriver’s interpretive signs a community effort

Pandora moth

SUSAN BERGER PHOTO

Pandora moths are back It all began earlier this summer with a handful of moth sightings. Soon the fuzzy, flying insects were congregating in larger gatherings along forest trails and clinging to pine trees. Attracted by bright lights, the moths are also turning up in droves outside businesses and under porch lights around Central Oregon. So, what’s with these giant moths invading our region? The moth in question is the Pandora moth (Coloradia pandora), a native defoliator of pine forests in the western United States. Outbreaks have commonly occurred in Central Oregon throughout the centuries. Why have I not observed this damage before? Outbreak levels of Pandora moth occur intermittently. The first recorded outbreak in Central Oregon was in the 1890s, and many other outbreaks have been documented here since that time. Outbreaks tend to occur in areas with loose, granular volcanic soils, which are needed for the moths to complete their life cycle. Tree ring analyses of old growth ponderosa pine suggest that up to 22 Pandora moth outbreaks have occurred here over the past 600 years. The last big invasion in Sunriver was in the 1990s. What type of forest damage does Pandora moth usually cause? Larvae feed on the foliage of several species of pines, with the primary Turn to Moths, page 14 SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN.

By Wes Perrin SUNRIVER – If you’ve ever wondered who is responsible for those colorful interpretive signs seen along Sunriver’s pathways, the answer may come as a surprise. They are not the result of work by the resort, or by some government wildlife agency, or even by an anonymous philanthropist. Instead they owe their existence to a community-wide effort initiated and underwritten more than a dozen years ago by the Sunriver Anglers Club. There are 20 signs in all, covering a wide variety of interests pertaining to Mother Nature and local history. Topics include wildflowers and fish to Lake Aspen, the Newberry volcano, Camp Abbot and Sunriver Lodge. Memories are now foggy as exactly how the idea took form, but it is generally agreed that two angler club members played key roles in getting the ball rolling in 2003. Rod Juranek and Sean Cracraft recall kicking the idea around at club board meetings and the concept quickly caught fire. Fueling interest in the project was an earlier signage success for the club at the Fall River Fish Hatchery. There, a large introduction display, and several smaller interpretive signs, had been created and installed by club members. Even though the idea was enthusi-

astically endorsed by club members, it was soon recognized that putting up signs in Sunriver doesn’t happen like a walk in the park. Approvals had to be obtained from Sunriver Owners Association committees including public works, environment and design. Informational meetings needed to be held with Sunriver Resort, Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory, the Deschutes County Planning Department and Wild & Scenic Rivers supporters. Once the club pinned down the approvals and compiled a list of subjects,

Sunriver prepares for Aug. 21 solar eclipse By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene With the first total solar eclipse to cross the United States since 1918, people from around the globe are inundating states located in the path of totality – including Oregon – with Redmond as the closest hotspot for totality viewing. Although Sunriver is not in the path of totality, area businesses and residents are preparing for a potential influx of folks staying in the area as hotels, vacation rentals and campgrounds within the eclipse zone have been sold out for months (some even years). The closest we come to totality is about 99 percent of sun coverage, and will occur

between 10:20-10:21 a.m. The eclipse first touches land at 10:15 a.m. in Depoe Bay and exits Oregon near the town of Huntington around 10:24 a.m. before continuing across the U.S. through 13 other states. Due to our location, Sunriver is NOT in the total eclipse path. At no time should anyone look directly at the sun without approved solar eclipse viewing glasses. Starting Aug. 11, the Sunriver Owners Association and SHARC Member Services offices will have solar viewing glasses for owners who show their 2017 Member Preference ID card to receive two pairs of glasses while supplies last. The

three dedicated anglers – Doug Vakoc, Tom Kelly and Jack McDonnell – stepped up to lead critical components of the effort. Vakoc took on the assignment of finding knowledgeable authors to write intelligent and interesting text. Initially, the job called for material for 14 signs but soon expanded and increased to 20 units. “It really was a total community commitment,” said Vakoc. “We discovered we had a number of Sunriver residents who were not only well informed, but Turn to Signs, page 14

Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory and Sunriver Resort’s Merchant Trader have glasses available for purchase. The Sunriver Owners Association, Sunriver Resort, Sunriver Police & Fire departments, The Village at Sunriver and the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory have collaborated to create a one-sheet electronic document with information about the eclipse to share with owners, renters and visitors who will be staying in Sunriver to watch the eclipse.

Volunteers welcome for annual War on Weeds pull Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) is hosting the 17th annual War on Weeds (WOW) Week through Aug. 4. WOW channels the Sunriver community’s commitment to protecting its fragile ecosystem into a concentrated effort to remove noxious weeds from common areas. As a weeklong effort, Sunriver owners, business owners, community groups, visitors and others can pull noxious weeds from common areas anytime. As in the past, weed-pulling areas will be designated but volunteers have the opportunity to participate on their own schedules. SROA provides noxious weed identification and pull locations, bags for collection (donated by SOLVE), and hosts a picnic lunch for volunteers. Weed pulling volunteers should wear gloves to protect their hands, sunscreen and hat, and carry water to stay hydrated when pulling. “Our volunteers appreciate having a week as it provides a lot more flexibility,” said Patti Gentiluomo, SROA director of

Natural Resources. “Volunteer involvement also reduces the need for contract removal, saving the association money and allocates resources to other projects.” WOW volunteers will target knapweed and thistle varieties and pull the plants before they go to seed and spread. Left unmanaged, noxious weeds can take over a landscape, lowering property values, decreasing biodiversity and reducing wildlife habitat by crowding out native plants.

Conducted by DRC Research in Bend, the survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete. The information gleaned is important to the board and staff for understanding demographics, amenity use, how owners feel on various topics and help plan future projects or improvements. “It’s important for owners to participate and shape the future of Sunriver by expressing their opinions,” said JD Cornutt, Owner/CEO of DRC Research. “This questionnaire was developed primarily for an online experience and saves SROA printing and mailing.”

through. And safety is also the reason for our most recently adopted rule – prohibiting the flight of recreational drones in Sunriver. Drones? You may have seen them sold at Costco or on amazon.com. Recreational drones (formally referred to as “unmanned aircraft systems”) are those remote-controlled devices that look a bit like a very large insect, often carrying a built-in camera. Hobby drones have become a popular toy with both kids and adults, particularly as their prices have dropped. Reports are that more than a million hobby drones were given as Christmas gifts in the U.S. just this last holiday season. By all accounts, hobby drones are a lot of fun to fly. Unfortunately, they also pose real safety risks. If a drone operator loses control of his drone, there’s a real risk of the drone crashing into people, causing serious injury or even fatalities. And then there’s the risk that a drone can interfere with airplanes,

forcing pilots to take evasive action and perhaps even causing a plane crash. Because of these risks, there are limits on flying them near airports, including the busy private airport right here in Sunriver. Even more of a concern here in Sunriver (especially in the dry wildfire season) is the threat that drones could interfere with planes and helicopters being used to fight wildfires. Because of the risk of a mid-air collision between a drone and a plane, the presence of drones near a wildfire can force the grounding of planes and helicopters involved in fighting the fire. In fact, just a few weeks ago, a drone flying in the vicinity of an Arizona wildfire forced the grounding of aircraft fighting the fire; that in turn left ground crews, fighting the fire on the frontlines, unprotected. A significant number of these drones are showing up in Sunriver. Chief Mills of the Sunriver Police Department reports that his officers are chasing drones in Sunriver nearly

every day. In one recent incident, an out-of-control drone nearly crashed into one of his officers, so the Sunriver Police Department is very aware of the dangers posed by drones. Factor in a busy summer day with people on bikes, boaters on the river, airplanes landing and taking off with regularity, and riders on horseback and it is easy to see how the risk factor for something to go wrong with flying a drone in Sunriver spikes like the thermometer on a sunny August day. Tourists are an important part of Sunriver’s economy. During the peak tourist months of June, July and August, an estimated 20,000 people are in Sunriver on a typical day. About one-third of SROA’s members rent out their houses to tourists. In addition to this standard nightly rental market, extended family, business associates and friends staying at owners’ vacation homes also play into the mix of a Sunriver Turn to Message, page 12

The fair was voted Favorite Small Town Art Fair in the nation, and one of the top 50 overall in 2016 and promises to be even better this year. “We are thrilled to be able to present the Sunriver community with an exciting new look, a dynamic array of artists, and a variety of terrific entertainment again this year,” said Sandra Lassen, event chairperson. “Many

favorite artists are returning and we have several new artists who will be on display for the first time this year.” The Sunriver Art Fair is the largest fundraiser for the Sunriver Women’s Club “And we are extremely proud of all the positive impact our efforts have had in the larger community,” said Lassen. The fair is a year in the planning, and involves more than 140 volunteers of the Sunriver Women’s Club (SRWC). Over the last several years, the SRWC, Turn to Fair, page 9

SUNRIVER SCENE • AUGUST 2017

Solar eclipse viewing safety Viewing a solar eclipse can be exciting, but you must remember to protect your eyes before looking directly at the sun. Check out these frequently asked questions about viewing a solar eclipse. Can I use my naked eyes to view the eclipse at totality? Yes, BUT only during the brief moment of darkness when the sun’s disk is completely covered and the sky goes dark (1 minute to 2 minutes, 41 seconds, depending upon your location). NOTE: Sunriver will NOT HAVE A TOTAL ECLIPSE. If you are lucky enough to have headed north in the path of totality, only during a brief moment of darkness, can the sun be directly viewed. However, this should be only for a moment as the corona of the sun will still be visible and extremely bright. NEVER look at the sun, except during totality, without approved solar-viewing devices. How do I know if my glasses or solar filter is “approved”? Approved solar filters have met the ISO 12312-2 international standard for such products. Experts suggests that one widely available filter for safe solar viewing is number 14 welder’s glass. It is imperative that the welding hood houses a #14 or darker filter. Do not view through any welding glass if you do not know or cannot

discern its shade number. Be advised that arc welders typically use glass with a shade much less than the necessary #14. A welding glass that permits you to see the landscape is not safe. Inexpensive eclipse glasses have special safety filters that appear similar to sunglasses, but these do permit safe viewing. Can I wear welder’s goggles to protect my eyes when I look through my small telescope, rectly at the sun with any type binoculars, or camera’s of sunglasses. The solar filters viewfinder? found in “eclipse glasses” are �� It is NEVER safe to look the only glasses appropriate for �� through a camera, binoculars or looking directly at�� the sun. �� a telescope at�� the sun without �� Can I use a piece of Mylar �� to �� approved solar filters securely look directly�� at the sun? �� attached, as�� these devices are �� Yes, Mylar filters made to �� designed to magnify and focus �� look at the sun are commercially �� the intensity�� of the sun at the available.

UHANE HAWAII & KURT SILVA

By Kody Osborne, Lead Naturalist The honeybee is a mysterious organism, whose work often goes unnoticed in the natural world. The Sunriver Nature Center’s new observation beehive gives visitors a closeup look at how these amazing and critical organisms operate, while learning how important their role as pollinators is to the health and wellbeing of humans and many other plants and animals on our planet. The live, indoor exhibit features a fully operational, four-frame beehive with observational windows into the internal structure of the hive. Viewers will get a glimpse into the inner workings of the hive and see how honeybees build their comb, raise young, make

honey, and many other activities of the busy bee. Because this is a naturally functioning hive, the bees have the ability to come and go as they please through a translucent tunnel that leads directly outdoors to the newly refurbished Sunriver Nature Center botanical garden. In the garden the bees will pollinate flowers while collecting pollen and nectar before returning to the hive. Sunriver Nature Center staff is ecstatic to be able to provide new and relevant interpretive opportunities to our visitors interested in learning about beekeeping, honey bee biology, and broader issues concerning pollinators. As a beekeeper-in-training, I am currently enrolled in the Oregon State University’s Master Beekeeping Program under the mentorship of local master beekeeper, Cathy Platin. I am joined in this passion by new nature center manager Amanda Turn to Honeybee, page 15

SUNRIVER SCENE • AUGUST 2017

Gallery features several new artists for August There are many activities to enjoy in Sunriver and one of the best is spending time with local artists at Artists Gallery Sunriver. In fact, on Saturday, Aug. 12 from 4 to 6 p.m., visitors can share food and drink while “partying with the artists.” The gallery is proud to present several new artists as well as all of the old favorites. Husband and wife glass artists, Jeff and Heather Thompson have been creating sculpture from hot molten glass for over 17 years. The duo is a longtime favorite at the gallery. Their pieces range from large complicated sea creatures to modern wall installations. There is even something for collectors without a lot of display space left in their homes. Always popular are beautiful hand-blown quail and other Central Oregon birds or perhaps a whimsical heart paper weight. It is always interesting to talk with the artists about

the combination of science and art that it takes to create this beautiful work. New to the gallery this summer is furniture artist, Jim Fister. Fister, an active volunteer, is a well-recognized face in the Sunriver area. Having recently left a long career in the hightech industry, the artist has embraced a decidedly low-tech approach to the creation of his art. Using primarily small

hand tools, Fister works with wood, stone and metal to create unique natural edge furniture pieces. He utilizes the rustic character of the materials to create functional conversation pieces that serve a utilitarian purpose. Fister is happy to work with you to build a specific item that fits your size and space constraints. He also provides custom framing for other art pieces. Painter Bill Hamilton is a longtime favorite at the gallery. His dry sense of humor is easy to pick up in many of his delightful paintings of birds and animals. Hamilton really shines when painting local Central Oregon landmarks such as scenes in downtown Bend and surrounding natural landscapes. When asked about a painting of Smith Rock, the artist claimed to have snapped an inspirational photo as he

Preparations in the drop-down menu). We encourage everyone to download and share the document with family, friends, renters and visiting guests. Where to view If you really want to avoid any traffic issues, your best bet is to stay home and watch the eclipse from the comfort of your own property. If you can go outside today and can see the sun around the same time the eclipse will occur there is really no need to leave your home. If you don’t have a clear-sky view, there are a few suitable Sunriver locations. Please bike or walk to these destinations as parking will be extremely limited. • SHARC amphitheater & Paulina Park. Bring a blanket or chair.

• Fort Rock Park: Bring a blanket or chair. • Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory: The observatory is offering safe solar viewing through their telescopes. • Sunriver Resort’s Backyard: Come watch the eclipse from the Backyard and driving range areas behind the Lodge. A free solar talk will be given at 8:30 a.m. in the Great Hall, followed by eclipse viewing. What owners, visitors should be aware of • There is NO roadside parking anywhere in Sunriver. All routes must remain clear to allow passage of emergency vehicles. • It is recommended that access to River Road be only for local and business traffic until 11 a.m. • Due to extreme fire danger, outdoor fires, fire pits, fireworks, etc. are prohibited. No smoking outside of vehicles

Second Tern plans celebration for National Thrift Store Day By Wes Perrin National Thrift Store Day is coming Aug. 17 and is a great opportunity to say “thank you” to the loyal customers of the Second Tern Thrift Store. “This day is commemorated on a Thursday, but since we’re only open Friday and Saturday, we’ll take some liberties with the actual date and hold our festivities Aug. 18-19,” said Colly Rosenberg, Second Tern manager. “We’ll be serving yummy cookies and cool beverages and just might offer some ‘secret’ sale items. Be sure to come early to get a cookie. We could run out!” Visitors will also have an opportunity to inspect the Tern’s “BigBoy” shed installed in May and now chock full of sporting goods. “It’s so much nicer to have our sports equipment under one roof,” said Rosenberg. “We certainly want to thank our customers for their purchases and donations which have made it

possible for us to obtain this building.” Founded in 1988, under the leadership of Jay and Teresa Bowerman, the Second Tern “continues to enjoy steady growth and an enviable reputation for quality and value,” said Rosenberg. “One recent example of this was a call I received from a lady in Boise, Idaho who said last year’s visit to the Tern was the highlight of her vacation, and she was planning to return again in September to enjoy the experience.” The nonprofit Second Tern Thrift Store is located a short distance west of Harper Bridge at 17377 Spring River Road, and is open Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. All sales benefit the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory. Additional information about the store, and about volunteering, is available at 541-593-3367 and www.secondtern.com

On her application Accamando stated she “has a passion for the natural world,” and “as a team member of SNCO, would embrace the opportunity to connect the public to their unique natural environment.” She succeeds Jennifer Curtis who has elected to pursue other endeavors. “Working for the nature center for the past six years has been an absolute pleasure,”

said Curtis. In her new capacity Accamando joins the SNCO management team alongside observatory manager Bob Grossfeld and administrative manager Carolyn Maxwell.

same time, being injured by a drone while swimming at the SHARC or biking on our pathways would not be fun. Too often, visitors run afoul of our rules simply because they aren’t aware of them. The rules in Sunriver may be different from the rules at home in Tigard or Tucson or Tacoma. To that end, SROA’s rules enforcement philosophy has always been based on gaining compliance rather than using the rulebook as some sort of revenue source. In short, SROA’s rulebook exists to make Sunriver safe, enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing to all, property owner and visiting guest alike. Whether it’s the drone rule or the rule prohibit-

ing outdoor burning or the rule against smoking on our common areas and pathways, the Sunriver Owners Association needs your help in making all visitors aware of SROA’s rules. We encourage every Sunriver owner to help your family, friends and guests to become aware of our rules and regulations – especially these serious safety rules. By doing so, you will further ensure that those visiting Sunriver will have a safe and fun time while here. To that end, how about placing a copy of the current version of Sunriver Rules & Regulations in a prominent place in your Sunriver house?

Stellar Solar Seminar, star pianist promise special Sunriver eclipse day Want to learn more about the first total solar eclipse in the U.S. in nearly 100 years, see the eclipse in Sunriver, and get a free set of solar glasses? Then attend Sunriver Music Festival’s Stellar Solar Seminar Monday, Aug. 21, 8:30-9:30 a.m. at the Sunriver Resort Great Hall. It is free to the public. Sponsored by the Sunriver Nature Center and the music festival, you will gather in the Great Hall for a solar talk by Dr. Harry Hamilton, Professor of Atmospheric Physics. Prior to retiring in 2006, Hamilton

was provost and senior vice president at Chapman University in Orange, California. Hamilton will explain how your day will turn to night for up to two minutes and 40 seconds and that the path of totality will be about 70 miles wide. Complimentary coffee and pastries will be provided. Next, you can join Hamilton and others on a short walk to a Sunriver meadow to see the solar eclipse. The nature center will provide complimentary glasses to guarantee a safe solar experience. Your special eclipse day will continue that evening with a “stellar” performance by nationally acclaimed pianist Sean Chen. The press has continually praised this talented young artist. The Huffington Post noted his “exceptional ability to connect with an audience combined with an easy virtuosity.” The Los Angeles Times acknowledged his “genuinely sensitive playing,” and the New York Times recognized his “alluring, colorfully shaded renditions.” Don’t miss this extraordinary musician in three performances during the 40th anniversary season of the Sunriver Music Festival. In addition to the Solo Piano Concert on Aug. 21, Chen will also perform with the full festival orchestra on Aug. 16 and Aug. 23. If you haven’t purchased tickets in advance for the Solo Piano Concert on Aug. 21, you can buy them at the door and receive a $5 discount by showing your eclipse glasses (with the Sunriver Music Festival sticker affixed). Specific seats may not be available based on prior ticket sales. For more information go online www. sunrivermusic.org or call the festival at 541-593-9310.

hosts in central Oregon being ponderosa and lodgepole pines. Outbreaks are typically observed in mature stands although light defoliation has also been reported in understory trees. Outbreaks can cause extensive defoliation, often leading to growth loss and some tree mortality. When tree mortality occurs, it is often associated with subsequent attacks from bark beetles or when prolonged drought conditions occur. What is the life cycle of Pandora moth? During outbreaks, pine defoliation occurs every other year because Pandora moth requires two years to complete one generation. In Central Oregon, larvae and defoliation are observed during even-numbered years and adult moths are seen during odd-numbered years. Adults are usually observed in July to early August. During outbreaks, large numbers can be seen on trees or resting on homes or other structures – especially near outdoor lights.

The females lay eggs in the fall, which hatch into larvae that feed in small colonies on the current year’s foliage. The larvae overwinter at the base of needles and resume feeding the following spring; this is when the heaviest defoliation occurs. Larval feeding is usually completed by late June and larvae crawl down from the trees and burrow into the soil where they transform into pupae. This is when they are most often observed, especially along roads and trails within outbreak areas. Adult moths then emerge the following summer. What can we expect from Pandora moth in the near future? This appears to be the second year of a Pandora moth outbreak in Central Oregon, with large number of adult moths observed in 2015 and larvae and defoliation seen over small areas during the spring of 2016. Outbreaks typically last three to four generations (6-8 years), so we expect to again see large numbers of adult moths this summer and increased numbers of larvae and defoliation during the spring of 2018.

The Pandora moth’s two-year life cycle, with defoliation occurring every other year during outbreaks, usually allows for tree recovery. Areas with heavy defoliation during the spring have already began to recover as new needles are emerging. These trees will have the chance to grow until larvae are again present in the spring of 2018. What is currently being done to manage the Pandora moth outbreak? Pandora moth outbreaks are usually allowed to subside naturally. A large number of natural enemies generally keep populations at low levels or contribute to the collapse of outbreaks. One of the most important is a disease caused by a virus, which rapidly infects larvae. Small mammals also feed on pupae in the soil and have been reported as an important natural control. Several birds are also predators, feeding on eggs and larvae, as well as parasitic wasps which also attack eggs and larvae. Periodic management of pine stands, including thinning, prescribed burning, or other treatments focused on maintaining the appropriate species and densities for the site are an important factor in allowing affected trees to withstand the effects of defoliation and to recover after it occurs. –Source: Robbie Flowers, USDA Forest Service Entomologist

eager to participate in our project.” For example, Mary J. Woolley, a prominent landscape designer, not only wrote material, but also provided illustrations for several of the signs covering flora and fauna. John Gilsdorf did the lodge sign and some of the history topics. Vakoc himself ended up covering several subjects including the story for the Lost Wagon Train. Additional writers included Jay Bowerman, Mark Hanschka, Kelly Walker, Nancy Henrichsen, Bruce and Pam MorrisStendal. Eric Selberg assisted with editing, and in the final stages retired adman Wes Perrin helped with text polishing and headline writing. Appealing graphic design was critical to the success of the project, and the club had an ace in the hole with Tom Kelly, the club’s vice president. Kelly was an award-winning advertising art director who spent decades working on major national brands. He had previously created the club’s stylish logo and had designed the popular informational signs at Fall River Fish Hatchery. Kelly was faced with a daunting task. He had to take the text provided by the various authors and determine what visual elements would accurately portray the information. Utilizing a wide variety of sources, some illustrations were provided by local photographers and from club members. Kelly also reached out nationally and obtained fish illustrations from notable wildlife artists Joseph Tomelleri and Susan Bankey Yoder. Bend’s Mike Houska donated work as did Mary J.

Woolley. The Cornell University School of Ornithology provided photos of raptors and other birds. Computer technician Dave Caplan chipped in his services. Not only did Kelly need to take care of all visual elements, he had to pick an appealing font and calculate the proper space and size for the text. “All in all, I probably spent about 300 hours on the project,” said Kelly. The final critical link called for the manufacture and installation of the signs. The chore fell into the hands of Jack McDonnell. A retired aeronautical engineer at McDonnell-Douglas, he was ideal for examining and evaluating potential sign makers. McDonnell began by first visiting existing informational signs at the High Desert Museum and on Bend’s Pilot Butte. “After that, I surfed the internet and probably looked at 10 different sign firms in locations from Oregon to Texas,” he said. “I took into consideration not only appearance and cost, but also longevity, company reputation and guarantee of quality.” After reviewing specification details and seeing samples, the clear best choice was the KVO company in Santa Rosa, California. McDonnell also solved the challenge of how to mount the signs by designing a metal stand that could be easily manufactured. Volunteers at the Fall River Fish Hatchery, Don Hermansen and Rex Riggs, offered to fabricate all 20 stands at no charge if the material was furnished. Club members Ron Angell and Dennis Miller took charge of the actual in-ground installation. As the sign project entered its final stages, the idea of adding small personalized memorial or commemorative plaques was discussed and accepted as interest ballooned. Soon plaques were purchased for all 20 signs. Installation of the first 10 signs was in September 2005. The next batch of six were set up in 2006, and the final four in June 2008. Only three signs have required extensive maintenance. One was scratched, one was apparently shot with a pellet gun, and the third was probably exposed to a caustic liquid. A pretty remarkable record in this unforgiving climate,” said McDonnell. “Proof that this is one project able to stand the test of time.” Residents and visitors interested in knowing more about the signs can print an easy-tofollow map of sign locations from the Sunriver Anglers Club website at www.sunriv eranglers.org

Hamilton has many more good stories that he would like to share with you when you visit the gallery. Also featured this month is pastel painter, Laurajo Sherman. Sherman moved to Oregon 17 years ago from New York state. She pursued a career in teaching art for 33 years, and was only able to concentrate on her own painting career after retirement. With great energy, Sherman established herself as a multi-award winning artist. Ten years ago she was accepted as a member to the prestigious Pastel Society of America - no

New card game born during Sunriver visit By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene When a website touts a card game as being created in Sunriver by “four feisty female fossils” and titled “KnukNFutz” … well… my interest was piqued. Four Oregon gal pals – Deanna Knox of Dallas, Nancy Rosendahl of Newberg, Shelley Bruney of Warrenton and Linda Katzberg of La Pine – regularly travel from their homes to meet up at least once a year in Sunriver, Kauai and other destinations of choice. It was during a May 2016 Sunriver visit that the foursome created the card game KnukNFutz. The name was conceived first during a rousing hand of cards. When a hand wasn’t going her way, Knox, in a fit of frustration,

slammed down her cards and shouted, “this is just a bunch of knuknfutz!” KnukNFutz became the catchphrase for the remainder of that evening and into the next day. The ladies decided KnukNFutz was too fun a word to be forgotten and decided they needed to create a game to go along with it. “Within 48 hours we had our idea on paper,” said Knox. The group immediately formed KnukNFutz LLC, applied for Oregon and federal trademarks and have a patent pending. They admittedly had no idea what they were doing but had it all together and ready in about 10 days. “The hardest part was to apply for the patent,” said Rosendahl. “We didn’t use

an attorney – we’re just four girls from Oregon and WE were going to do it.” During the patent process, Rosendahl discovered that you can’t patent a card game unless it has a unique front and back design. Without money to hire a graphic artist the job fell to Knox – who had the most computer experience. “We call Deanna our ‘tragic artist’ – there’s nothing graphic about her,” said Rosendahl. The biggest snag during the process was when it came to finding a U.S. company to produce the game. “We so badly wanted to have our game say ‘Made in the USA,’ but now we understand why so many products don’t. We had to outsource to China to keep the cost affordable,” said Rosendahl. They did locate a woman in New Jersey who owned a plant in China. Hopeful to have future printings done in the U.S., Rosendahl recently met someone who believes their company can produce the card game in the U.S. and remain cost effective. The game’s first official re-

“We’ve added a ‘get up and change seats’ (and you lose your cards),” said Rosendahl. “It makes for more craziness and mingling.” How the game is played A minimum of three players is needed but as many as seven can play. “Five is about perfect,” said Rosendahl. The game is rated for ages 9 to 99, but the ladies have seen children as young as four play with efficiency. “And they don’t know they’re learning math while they play,” said Knox. KnukNFutz is a hybrid between the card games Golf, UNO and Kings in a Corner. Using a deck of 111 cards, the deck includes cards numbered 0-12, minus cards and specialty cards that allow a player to steal a card from another player or lose a turn. Without looking at the cards, each player is dealt nine cards that are placed face down in three rows across and three down. The goal is to draw (or take what your opponent threw in the discard pile) and eventually swap out all nine cards – keeping the lowest numbered cards possible. If you’re lucky enough to get three of the same cards in a vertical row the entire row is considered zero points. When a player has turned over all but one of their cards and wants to go out they can declare “KnukNFutz.” Forget to say it out loud and you earn five penalty points. Be careful, as claiming KnukNFutz also has its risks. If the face value of your hand adds up to more points than your opponents you get stuck with their points, too. The lowest score wins in this low-tech card game of strategy – and a bit of luck. The game helps bring the family back to the table and away from the electronic devices. It’s actually one of the rules of the game to “turn off ALL electronics and park ‘em!” “Let’s all get back to game nights and do something together,” said Rosendahl. “I’m tired of seeing everyone on their phone – not talking.” KnukNFutz is available locally at Sunriver Books & Music in The Village at Sunriver (building 25) or online for $19.99 at www.knucknfutzgames.com

www.sunriverwomensclub.com President’s message Ah, August in Sunriver. For years our family spent the last two weeks of August in Sunriver, regardless of how many other visits we’d managed throughout the year. When we drove into Sunriver I’d roll down the window to smell that warm pine scent that, for me, meant vacation, relaxation, fun, and being in a place I love. Now, I get to experience that smell every day. I feel blessed to live here fulltime. August in Sunriver also means it’s time for the Sunriver Art Fair, organized by the

Sunriver Women’s Club, this year Aug. 11-13. It takes more than 130 volunteers to make this art fair, our biggest fundraiser of the year, happen. We definitely hope you’ll attend the fair and support the artists, and also “jump on in” and volunteer at least three hours of your time to support this event. Email artfairvolunteers@gmail. com to get involved! -Debbie Dunham Art Fair Aug. 11–13 brings the Sunriver Art Fair, bigger and better than ever. A record 74 artists will feature a wide range

Live music will entertain visitors each afternoon and drawings for prizes, such as a weekend at a coastal retreat, will occur daily. To commemorate this year’s fair, artists were asked to submit art to be considered for a Sunriver Art Fair poster. The poster and other gifts will be available for sale at the fair. The always popular Kids Center will encourage budding artists with special projects. As our largest fundraiser, it takes volunteers and the generosity of our many Central Oregon sponsors.

SUNRIVER SCENE • AUGUST 2017

2017 Sunriver Music Festival Event Schedule Join the Sunriver Music Festival for an abundance of concerts over two lively weeks in August! The 40th Anniversary season features world-class musicians from all around the nation while also continually creating and nurturing music education programs for Central Oregon’s youth year-round. It’s a festival full of classical concerts, masterclasses, music workshops, family concerts, fundraisers and open rehearsals. Many of the visiting musicians from prestigious orchestras are handpicked for the Sunriver Music Festival Orchestra by Artistic Director George Hanson.

Pioneering classical music festival thriving after 40 years It was an audacious idea. In 1977 Sunriver residents Paul and Polly Kahle wanted to start a classical music festival in a summer resort using professional musicians from around the United States. They would perform in a vintage 1940s Officers’ Club. Four decades later, the Sunriver Music Festival not only survives, but it is thriving as it announces its 40th season, Aug. 12-23, with a full slate of classical concerts, pops concert, solo piano concert, master classes, music workshops, family concert, open rehearsals, and parties. “What was an unproven festival idea has now become a year-long celebration of professional music in Central Oregon,” said Pam Beezley, music festival executive director. “In fact, unofficially we kicked off our season with several events this winter and conducted our first two-day Piano Showcase in Bend at the Tower Theatre in March.” While the original festival only performed in Sunriver, this summer you can enjoy performances in Sunriver and Bend.

Artistic director and conductor George Hanson returns for his sixth season to lead the Sunriver Music Festival Orchestra. As a symphony and opera conductor, pianist, recording artist, television host, educator, community leader, fundraiser and passionate spokesman for the arts, Hanson is helping shape the changing role of the modern music director. Musicians from prestigious orchestras throughout the U.S. are currently being handpicked by Hanson for the summer season. Four classical concerts, a pops concert, a solo piano concert and a family concert highlight this year’s offering. Renowned pianist Sean Chen returns for three performances. The Central Oregon Mastersingers will also perform the beautiful Mozart Requiem. Young Artists Scholarship winner Courtney Huffman, soprano, will perform with the Mastersingers, joined by mezzo-soprano Hannah Penn, tenor David Gustafson and baritone Zachary Lenox.

Volunteer writer Kathie Thatcher puts her humorous spin on the monthly logs provided by the Sunriver Police Department. This is only a sampling of the month’s total call log. 6/4 - Call from Lodge requesting police assistance for a large party of intoxicated males who were causing problems and being confrontational towards staff. 6/7 - Report of smoldering substance in common area near Aspen Lane. SRFD arrived and extinguished the potential fire. 6/8 - RP was concerned after not hearing from her husband for several days. It was determined that he had gone fishing. 6/10 - RP at the Cluster Cabins requested that we pick up an injured bat and have it tested for rabies. This is not one of the many services provided, but officers did perform a bat evacuation. 6/10 - RP reported some concerns with her husband’s ex-wife calling the house multiple times to check on the kids as well as requesting police welfare checks. Officer explained to the RP her rights about phone harassment and that she could reasonably decline multiple welfare check requests. 6/14 - Report of an aggressive pit bull on Redwood Lane. The dog is frequently tied to a tree and charges at passersby, scaring the you know what out of them. 6/15 - Report of a man loitering near his vehicle on Beaver Drive. On contact, he explained that he and his passenger had stopped to stretch their legs and take a safety nap. They were traveling from Pennsylvania to the Redwoods. 6/16 - Homeowner of residence on Yellow Pine called, after viewing on his surveillance camera, several males drinking beer and urinating on his property. We contacted the subject, who thought they were renting the house, but had gotten the wrong address. They were counseled on proper places to urinate (this not being one of them), and told to pick up their trash. 6/16 - SRPD responded to a noise complaint on Belknap Lane and contacted a group of young ladies who were having a bachelorette party. SRPD explained the rules and regulations and informed them that if officers had to return, the ladies would be issued a citation. Two days later SRPD was again dispatched to this location about a loud hot tub party and presented them with the promised citation. Girls just wanna have fun. 6/17 - Traffic stop conducted on a vehicle after it almost collided with an SRPD patrol car. The driver was taken into custody and lodged at DCJ with a blood alcohol content of .26 percent. 6/18 - SRPD responded to a non-injury crash at the Quelah Condos. A vehicle was high centered on a rock at the entrance. 6/18 - Officer contacted a female at the Lodge about a dog problem. She told us that a black lab had licked her daughter’s face and thought the dog’s tongue may have made contact with the child’s eye. She has no knowledge of dogs and was afraid that the eye may become infected. The owner of the beast refused to give her information, so she and her husband have contacted their attorney. 6/20 - Dispatched with SRFD to Holy Trinity Church for a fire investigation. SRPD determined a knob of the gas range had been turned on just enough to cause a small gas leak. The knob was switched off and everything back to normal. Not all angels have wings. 6/25 - Employees at a village restaurant reported a suspicious male loitering near their event stage. SRPD contacted the suspect and determined that he was on security detail for the event. One just can’t be too careful. 6/26 - RP reported finding a bullet hole in her garage door on Hickory Lane. It was determined that it was likely caused by a receiver hitch on a mounted bike rack that had been backed into the door, but definitely not a bullet hole. The RP was greatly relieved. 6/26 - RP reported a carpeting crew trespassing in his driveway and using it to cut carpet. When contacted, the crew explained that they had accidentally offloaded the carpet at the wrong address. They were cutting the huge rolls to make it easier to reload into the truck. 6/26 - While on patrol, officer observed a passenger in a vehicle dispose of burning cigarette ashes. Upon stopping the vehicle, it was discovered that the driver had three warrants out for his arrest. Just another reason to kick the habit. Extra stuff: There were 23 reports of lost/found/stolen items including bikes, wallets, credit cards, driver’s licenses, glasses, phones and float tubes throughout the month.

Tern manager creates art from bits and pieces Happy customers frequently report they have found treasures at the Second Tern Thrift Store, and store manager Colly Rosenberg feels this applies to her as well. However, her special discoveries don’t involve regular merchandise. Instead these surprising “treasures” are overlooked discards which

she transforms into whimsical artwork. Using her imagination, a threaded rod, some washers and acorn nuts, Rosenberg takes cast-away materials and creates elegant, extremely unusual pieces suitable for display indoors or out, on a counter or table. For example, in two of her

designs, she has used a teapot spout to resemble the trunk of an elephant, a pair of hollowed out buttons to serve as owl eyes, and a poster bed finial to be the owl’s body. All parts fit tightly together without adhesives or soldering. Inspiration for her work was sparked by seeing the number of

items donated to the Tern which weren’t of high enough quality to be offered for sale. “It seemed a shame not to make use of at least a portion of these,” said Rosenberg. “I’ve always been keenly interested in quirky creative projects, and somehow the piles of unusable stuff just talked to me. And when it comes to art, I want everything to be fun!” When asked what name she has given to her uniquely different work, she admits to be at a loss for words.“I’ve called it ‘recycled art’ because everything I use is actually being re-used.” She mentioned that a somewhat similar art form is labeled “steampunk,” but it is primarily associated with aesthetic designs inspired by 19th century steam powered machinery. Rosenberg has not marketed any of her pieces so far, but she is considering the possibility of private sales in the future. A small exhibit of her work is planned for the Second Tern in

the coming months. “I’m not the only one doing this kind of activity,” she said. “We’ve got a number of volunteers who are also creating beautiful items from recycled goods.” The Second Tern is located just west of Harper Bridge on Spring River Road, and is open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday. All sales benefit the non-profit Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory. For more information, call 541-593-3367 or visit www.secondtern.com

EXCEPTIONAL LISTINGS Scott and Robyn were incredibly knowledgeable and professional in the marketing, negotiation and closing process for the sale of our home in Sunriver. I appreciated their attention to detail and responsiveness in addition to their ability to negotiate the difficulties of listing our home, which we rent, during a very busy summer rental environment. They were very helpful with referrals and scheduling of work that we needed to complete prior to close. They exceeded our expectations in all facets and I would highly recommend them as agents on either side of a sale. -Ian Mcatridge

Highlights of the Sunriver Men’s Golf Club By Paul J. Grieco Match Play results Grant Seegraves prevailed in a tightly contested first flight match final against always-tough-to-beat Bret Mackay one up. This match exemplified the high level of competition faced in all five flights of eight players per flight. Tied for third in the first flight were Mike Hughes (in the “winners” bracket) and Scott Brown (“consolation” bracket). The first flight consisted of single digit handicappers. In order to win a flight a player has to prevail in three

matches. Each flight winner pocketed $50, while second place won $30 and those tied for third won $20 each. Results in the other brackets Flight 2 – Darin Davis won one up over Don Wright; tied for third were Dan Frantz and Don Olson. Flight 3 – Steve Kenney won one up over Frank Schultz; tied for third were Jim Montroy and Tom Woodruff; Flight 4 – Gary Brooks won a conceded match over Allen Crisler; tied for third were John Meyer and Greg Cotton. Flight 5 – Mike Stamler won 2 & 1 over John

A Virginia native, Harris fostered creativity in children working at the National Gallery of Art, Department of Teacher and School Programs, and interned with an art therapist in the children’s oncology ward at Georgetown Hospital’s Lombardi Cancer Center. These experiences launched her sharing arts education with kids for more than 15 years. She developed an award-winning blog about children’s arts and crafts (Pink and

Green Mama Blog) and authored 10 art lesson eBooks. Artist Karen Ruane’s career began as a figurative painter working with acrylics. She worked quickly creating large scale work celebrating the beauty and strength of the female form. Motivated by her “Type A approach” to finish a painting

in a single session, she often felt frustration and depression. She moved on to more satisfying, creative practices. Then, watching a marbler in action, she became “paralyzed with intrigue.” Viewing colors spattered on to a viscous, fluid surface, tools dragged across the surface to organize the paint into

patterns, she observed the push/ pull between the artist’s control and the physics and flow of the medium. Appreciating variables beyond the artist’s control, she eagerly worked with marbling for several years, sometimes creating the papers in as little as five minutes. Loss of the artist’s control enabled her to “love paint and creating again,” also fulfilling her desire for rapid results.

Letters from readers

Linda Williams April 11, 1945-July 16, 2017 Longtime Sunriver resident Linda Williams, 72, died on July 16, 2017. Linda died peacefully in her home, surrounded by family, after a long and graceful battle with cancer. Linda was a devoted wife, wonderful mother and grandmother, avid tennis player and lover of outdoor exercise. Born on April 11, 1945 in Denver, Colorado, she moved with her family to California at age 8. She attended high school in Pacific Grove on the Monterey Peninsula and it was there she met her high school sweetheart and eventual husband of 49 years, Steve Williams. Steve and Linda moved to Sunriver in 1972, when Steve was hired as Sunriver’s artist-in-residence. Linda loved riding her bicycle around Sunriver and,

Chorus of One: Clarification on Sunriver drone rules

By Clinton Ellson and Matt Fedorko, Sunriver Airport Managers Thank you for your recent article about drone use in Sunriver. As required by the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Oregon Department of Aviation (our licensing authority), we are required to assure aviation safety within our operations area. Your article was based on FAA rules which were superseded by FAA Part 107, which eliminated registration for non-commercial drones, and added stiff penalties for non-compliance within 5 (five) nautical miles of airports without the consent of airport operators. The FAA has recently released apps for Android and Apple devices called B4UFly for use by all drone operators. This app will show the 5-mile radius around our airport as an amber circle, and instructs all users to contact the airport office. The Sunriver Airport managers are FAA licensed commercial pilots who will consider flight plans presented at the airport ONLY from drone operators holding an FAA UAS Pilot License and fully conform to Part 107. If the airport authority approves the flight plan, based solely on aviation safety, the approved plan will be forwarded to SROA for final approval. Here’s how UAS flight plan review applies in Sunriver and is critical to aviation safety: ONLY DRONE FLIGHTS APPROVED BY By Susan Berger

no matter the weather, could be seen whizzing around on her mountain bike, its rear basket full of groceries and tennis rackets. Linda possessed an infectious sense of adventure and, in 1985, she and Steve decided to ride their bicycles across the United States. With their three boys, ages 7, 11 and 16, they left Sunriver on bikes and for three months rode 3,090 miles to Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay. Two years later, Linda and Steve

SROA AND S21 ARE LEGAL. Prior coordination and authorization is required for all unmanned aerial system (UAS) flights within five nautical miles of Sunriver Airport (43.8763, -121.4531) in accordance with FAA Part 107 and SROA Rules and Regulations. Only UAS under 55 pounds will be considered (Reference: https:www. faa.gov/UAS), and FAA the mobile app B4UFLY for Android and Apple devices. Drone pilots must be licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration under Part 107, using a registered and marked UAS, with a qualified observer, and MUST present a specific flight plan to the airport managers 48 hours in advance. All flights must be line-of-sight, daylight only, with a qualified Part 107 observer. Pilot must submit a proposed flight plan (48 hours advance notice required) and a map showing specific flight path – maximum 2,000’ from base, maximum 400’ AGL dependent on aircraft traffic pattern. After review of the operator’s credentials and proposed flight parameters, the airport manager will authorize a four-hour flight “window” for drone operation. The signed flight plan review must be presented at the SROA office for final approval. A copy will be retained by SROA and a copy returned to airport management. FAA may assess civil penalties up to $27,500 for operations in violation of Part 107, with criminal penalties of up to $250,000 for fraudulent disregard of regulations. SROA regulations permit a fine up to $2,500.

moved the family to Mexico for one school year, spending most days surfing, windsurfing and soaking in the wonders of a foreign country. An avid tennis player, Linda earned her USPTA instructor certification and resurrected Sunriver’s junior tennis program, spending many summers teaching kids of all ages how to play. Linda also competed in local and regional tournaments, and she was proudly named the USTA Pacific Northwest Senior Woman Player of the Year. Linda’s incredible spirit, determination and open arms will be sorely missed by her surviving family members: husband, Steve, of Sunriver; son Justin of Sunriver; son Dougal and wife Katy of Portland; son Logan and wife Elizabeth of Bend; sisters Jinny Beyer, Wendy Kahle and niece Tanis Rovner; grandchildren, Doone, Emma, Riley, Reid, Margaux, and Porter.

The “roadkill bill” was overwhelmingly passed by Oregon state legislature and signed by Gov. Kate Brown in June. In what could be considered an odd consolation prize for damaging your vehicle – at least the poor animal wounded or killed in the incident won’t go to waste. With a salvage permit from the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) you’ll be able to toss Bambi in the trunk and take him home for dinner – literally. Of course, depending on the severity of the accident, not every animal will be fit to eat.

Imagine how many of those are not reported and that number is likely double – or even triple. That’s a lot of venison burger. This got me thinking about an idea for a new restaurant. Of course, it would be called the Roadkill Café. Here’s my tongue-in-cheek take of what might be on the menu in Sunriver: • Western Toad Tacos with stickleback salsa • Freshly-Flattened Ground Squirrel seared to perfection and topped with a duckweed sauce • Porcupine Pot Pie with baby knapweed and toadflax salad • Mule Deer Meatloaf with a side of Canada thistle greens • Coyote Chili slow-cooked with an Acme seasoning blend, you’ll be shouting “muy caliente!” • Raccoon Rangoon Asian-inspired dumpling www.sunriverowners.org

stuffed with creamed bullfrog • Snake Shake ‘n’ Bake fried to a golden brown… tastes like chicken! • Quail Quiche and cheatgrass compote for dessert ODFW staff will pen draft rules and present them to the Fish and Wildlife Commission for public comment and consideration before adoption. The earliest the salvage permits may be available is January 2019. Until that time, current Oregon wildlife regulations remain in place and state “No person shall possess or transport any game mammal or part thereof, which has been illegally killed, found or killed for humane reasons, except shed antlers, unless they have notified and received permission from personnel of the Oregon State Police or ODFW prior to transporting.” For more information about roadkill and what to do if your car hits a wild animal, visit the ODFW site at www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/road kill%20_regulations.asp Page 39
