County commissioners reopen Caldera Springs expansion plan By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners has authorized a request by Pine Forest Development LLC to reopen the record relative to the expansion of Caldera Springs to allow the applicant to submit a revised development plan. In 2015, Pine Forest initiated a conceptual master plan (CMP) to expand Caldera Springs, located south of Sunriver. In April 2016, a county hearings officer approved the CMP, which included a maximum of 395 single-family units, a maximum of 95 overnight lodging units as well as other recreation and resort-related facilities. Central Oregon LandWatch appealed the county’s decision to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) identifying several issues: 1) Whether the overnight lodging units in the existing resort are “separate” units and qualify under Destination Resort statute as “overnight lodging,” 2) Whether the expansion area will be operated in a manner integral to the remainder of the resort and 3) The relocation of a wildlife mitigation tract within the Caldera annexation area. Since the appeal, Pine Forest and LandWatch have been negotiating the terms for a revised CMP and notified the county that both parties now wish to stipulate to the terms of a remand decision. The commissioners authorized reopening the record for the project during its July 2 meeting. The county was notified of the following: CMP changes • As part of the original CMP, the applicant set aside approximately 125 acres as a Wildlife Mitigation Tract. The tract was located on the eastern boundary of the resort. Based on negotiations with LandWatch, the applicant has enlarged the tract to approximately 221 acres and relocated it to the southern edge of the resort. According to the applicant, this will provide better wildlife connectivity T  C,   SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN. VOLUME XLIV • NUMBER 8 P.O. BOX 3278 SUNRIVER, OR 97707

New police, fire chiefs sworn in In a brief ceremony prior to the Sunriver Service District Board Meeting on July 19, both the new Sunriver Police Chief Cory Darling and Sunriver Fire Chief Tim Moor were officially sworn in. It was standing room only as each chief, with right hand raised, read the swear in language. The occasion was also marked with the pinning of their respective badges by their wives. Both chiefs are local to the area. Darling was previously captain at the Bend Police Department and Tim Moor was chief of the Redmond Fire Department. The Scene will provide more information about the chiefs in the September issue.

First tunnel replacement almost complete By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene SROA NEWS – By the time you read this the final touches should be underway on Sunriver’s new pathway tunnel that runs under West Cascade Road near the Ranch Cabins west of Circle 4. Construction, which took just over four weeks, included closing and tearing out a section of West Cascade Road, the old corrugated metal tunnel, excavating, regrading and widening the area

to accommodate the new, larger tunnel design. It was relatively smooth sailing during the first couple weeks of construction until crews hit a pocket of seemingly impenetrable volcanic basalt. Crews spent a week breaking up and removing the stubborn stone. But, thanks to that pocket of rock, it was discovered that some utilities were not in the correct location or buried to a required depth,

resulting in temporary connections and rerouting. “We’re having to fix what wasn’t installed correctly in the first place,” said Mark Smith, SROA Public Works Director. “We have learned a ton and will do things differently moving forward with future tunnel construction to ensure each utility is located correctly.” Although originally scheduled for a July 31 completion date, the date has been moved to Aug. 10 – barring the T  T,   PRSRT STD.

Looking Back, Moving Forward 1968 – 2018. Fifty years. As we celebrate the first halfcentury of Sunriver, let’s pause for a moment to recall how this special community started and recognize how far we have come in these first 50 years of Sunriver. This is also a time to take a glimpse at what the next half-century Pat Hensley might hold. The history of human habitation in the Sunriver area actually is much longer. Although the planned community known as Sunriver dates from 1968, there is evidence of human habitation in the area going back many millennia. Artifacts found in Sunriver’s Great Meadow are a testament to the presence of Native Americans in this area some 10,000 – 12,000 years ago. Then, in the 19th century, fur trappers, explorers and settlers passed through Sunriver, inspiring such familiar Sunriver place names as Fremont, Besson and Abbot. A bit more recently, there were activities in the area now known as Sunriver that have direct impacts on today. A century ago, two lumber companies, ShevlinHixon and Brooks Scanlon, operated lumber mills in Bend. To supply logs for their mills, large expanses of Ponderosa pine trees were cut down in what is now Sunriver. As a result of the wide-scale cutting, broad swaths of Sunriver were left bare and open. As the forestry practices of that era did not require today’s reforestation measures such as replanting logged areas with new seedlings, the emergence of the less-valued Lodgepole pines took hold throughout much of Sunriver. For the past two decades, the Sunriver Owners Association

has attempted to “reintroduce” a Ponderosa pine forest through the coordinated efforts of large-scale ladder fuels reduction and replanting Ponderosa pine seedlings throughout SROA’s common areas. Thus, the logging practices of 100 years ago continue to put demands on SROA’s forestry practices today. Then, three-quarters of a century ago, another group of human inhabitants took over this area -- again with effects that linger to this day. For 14 months in 19431944, Sunriver was home to an Army Corps of Engineers training facility called Camp Abbot (named after Lt. Henry Abbot, one of the early explorers). During Camp Abbot’s brief operation, the Army first installed infrastructure (roads, water and sewer) to support a facility where 10,000 men at a time were trained how to build bridges, roads, canals, and airstrips for combat operations in Europe. Around Sunriver, we still encounter remnants of the Camp Abbot days. Perhaps the most glorious remnant is Sunriver Resort’s Great Hall, which served (briefly) as the Officers’ Club during the war. Less-glorious remnants are what SROA’s staff refers to as the “round houses” in the Public Works Department yard. These silo-shaped buildings actually were silos during the war, serving as part of the Camp Abbot waste treatment system. SROA continues to use these buildings today – 75 years later! – for office space and storage. They are far from ideal for these uses and there are plans (now in the conceptual stage) for a complete revamp of the Public Works campus, including replacement of the round houses with more efficient buildings. Even less glorious remnants from Camp Abbot are the asbestos and munitions left behind by the Army and occasionally discovered around Sunriver. In fact, owners will recall that a major impetus for the SHARC project

was the need to address asbestos issues in that area. A review of the old military base map superimposed on top of a present-day Sunriver property map finds that land currently in use as the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory previously was the Army base landfill. Closer to home on the map overlay - my own Sunriver home to be exact - I note that my house sits upon the “machine gun range” that also overlooks the “anti-tank range” section of the military base map. So, perhaps the occasional loud party nearby was indeed not the craziest event ever to happen on my lane. T  M,  

SSD training facility completed By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene It may have taken almost 10 years to get from point A to point B, but the Sunriver Service District finally has its training facility. Thanks to a land lease from Sunriver Environmental LLC (owned by Sunriver Resort Limited Partnership), the approximately four-acre parcel includes a 14,900-square-foot asphalt pad, a 7,500-squarefoot graveled area and a secure, fenced space to store equipment. Located on a dirt road off South Century Drive east

of the railroad overcrossing, the property is also gated to prohibit unauthorized vehicular access to the site. Tucked away in the trees, the training facility isn’t visible from the road or houses. Previously, fire crews had trained on open space directly behind the fire station within feet of homes and the SROA administration office. Various dead cars and other debris often littered the lot – not a pretty sight within a residential and resort community. Although the planning stages took years, construction

discovery of any additional surprises. The replacement of Sunriver’s remaining 12 tunnels is expected to take several years. According to Smith, the replacement process of the remaining tunnels will be determined following an evaluation of each tunnel to identify utilities, drainage issues, geotechnical engineering and current condition of each tunnel. Installation of the original tunnels took place in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Con-

structed of corrugated metal the tunnel’s narrow, taco shell design only allows one-way, single-file traffic. Some tunnels were also subject to flooding when it rained or became mini ice rinks in the winter. The new tunnel design is made of steel reinforced, precast concrete with an opening 12-feet wide and more than seven feet at the highest point – allowing for two-way traffic and will alleviate bicyclists having to dismount and walk through the tunnel. The tunnel replacement project is identified and funded under SROA’s Capital Replacement Reserves program.

Inspiring present and future generations to cherish and understand our natural world

sunriver nature center

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

Volunteers provide backbone of support to the Sunriver Nature Center By Amanda Accamando, Nature Center Manager If you’ve visited the Sunriver Nature Center on a Friday morning over the last few years, chances are good that you have had the pleasure of meeting Gail. Whether there was a foot of snow on the ground or you were chaperoning a field trip, she was probably there. No, Gail is not the name of one of

our resident raptors, though she is worthy of such naming rights. Gail is one of the nature center’s long-time devoted raptor presenters and one of 25 volunteers whom you can find regularly volunteering time and talent at Sunriver Nature Center. The nature center’s volunteers contribute in nearly all areas of our operations through-

out the year, including in the deep winter when Sunriver may seem sleepy. Volunteers provide a high level of care daily for our resident animals, including our raptors, reptiles and amphibians. They prepare meals, clean enclosures and monitor animal behavior. Although the work is often sweaty, dirty and certainly not glamorous, it is gratifying and important to the

health of our animals. Exercise, for example, is one daily task that is critical to the physical and mental wellbeing of our resident raptors, and seems to benefit our volunteers as well. You’ll often see our red-tailed hawk out for a walk around Lake Aspen perched on the leather-gloved arm of a volunteer. Raptor handling is not just for anyone however, and

volunteers often spend up to a year caring for the animals, training extensively and learning about the animal’s natural history and behavior before taking that next step. Many of our volunteers come to us because of a special interest or experience that they’d like to apply at the nature center. For example, Jan, a retired Sunriver school teacher, is a natural in her volunteer role as an education assistant, facilitating kindergarten to middle school field trip programs and summer camps. In other instances, a special skill or hobby may become surprisingly useful. For example, husband and wife volunteer duo, Gregg and Meena, had only been volunteering in our animal care department for two weeks when their kayaking skills were called upon. They were instrumental in rounding up the trumpeter swan cygnets on Lake Aspen so that the swans could be moved to their new home. This spring we were also fortunate to partner for a day of service with a mighty group of First Interstate Bank employees that helped with significant improvements to our trails and animal exhibits. For the 50 years that the nature center has been in existence, volunteers have formed the backbone of our operations. Today, the unique skills, passion and energy of our growing volunteer corps allows us to educate and share nature with more visitors and school children each year and extend T  V,  

New inflatable portable planetarium at Oregon Observatory brings the night sky to guests during daylight hours.

Summer skies highlight Oregon Observatory viewing By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager Earlier this summer, we unveiled our new inflatable portable planetarium for our guests. In August, we will begin bringing the night sky inside with live, interactive presentations. By being able to offer afternoon programs inside the planetarium, we will be able to

provide guests an idea of our nighttime programs. Come see what constellations we will be looking at during the night and learn more about the night sky and the solar system. Our daytime programs also include our daytime solar viewing at the observatory, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This program is included in the admission to

Mystery arrives at Second Tern

the Sunriver Nature Center. On Aug. 31, we have a special program on Saturn. Come join us for a special program on Saturn and NASA’s Cassini Mission from 8 to 11 p.m., which includes viewing. With all the new improvements, we are looking forward to being able to offer more programs in 2018. August is a great month to view the night skies. With the addition of some new telescopes, and upgrades to others, it will be one of the best time to view the universe right here in Sunriver. The weather usually allows for us to be outside without a jacket under clear skies. Jupiter will remain the focus at the beginning of our program. Saturn continues to get higher in the sky and is still a prime target. Mars is still rising as the program winds down. August is the time we look at the southern part of the sky, as many of the nebulae are in a great position to observe.

our reach farther into the community. In 2017, volunteers contributed more than 1,200 hours of service and, with the addition of 10 new volunteers so far this year, we are on track to shatter that record. Volunteers are true ambassadors of Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory, working to fulfill our mission long after they’ve completed their weekly shift and left the nature center. Summer may be our busiest season, but our animals still require daily care and we present education programs throughout the winter. Sunriver Nature Center accepts volunteer applications throughout the year and has positions available in the areas of animal care, visitor services, education,

By Wes Perrin An international mystery has been donated to Sunriver’s Second Tern Thrift Store, and many unanswered questions swirl around it. The donation consists of a series of a dozen 14” x 4” lacquered strips embellished with gold leaf and bearing messages in Sanskrit. Created nearly 3,500 years ago in India, Sanskrit was developed to chronicle scriptures and epic poems of the Hindu religion. Over time it has also become the language of Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism for religious and philosophical messages. Preliminary research by the Tern has indicated that these pieces are examples of a “sutra,” a term meaning a collection of

New submittal and evidence forthcoming to address the remand • A revised CMP map identifying the relocated Wildlife Mitigation Tract and associated changes to the layout of the remainder of the proposed project area. • Additional evidence demonstrating that the existing overnight lodging units do qualify as “overnight lodging units.” • Additional evidence demonstrating that the expansion area will be operated in a manner that is integral to the resort • Supplemental reports

(transportation, sewer, water, wildlife) demonstrating that the changes to the CMP will not have any additional impacts beyond those contemplated by the original CMP proposal. The remand will be exclusive to the remand conditions previously identified by LUBA. Anyone with previous “standing” in the project, including the Sunriver Owners Association, will also be notified of further action and have an opportunity to comment on the proposed changes. A meeting is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 29 with the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners. Additional background In 2006, Sunriver Resort Limited Partnership purchased 614 acres of what was then surplus land from the federal government under the Bend Pine Nursery Land Conveyance Act signed by former President Clinton. The proposed expansion would nearly double the acreage of Caldera Springs on land east and south adjacent to the existing resort. The Sunriver Business Park on the north, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks to the east, Vandevert Road to the south and the existing Caldera Springs Resort to the west border the area of proposed new development.

Another Run for the Birds success By Abby Rowland A chilly morning and cloudless skies greeted runners as they assembled for the eighth annual Run for the Birds 5K that benefits Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory. More than 151 runners and walkers, including the children that participated in a 1K race immediately following the 5K, left the start line promptly at 8 a.m. to complete a 5-kilometer loop through the Resort’s property taking in vistas of mountains and meadows the entire way. Racers from Minnesota to Eugene, Olympia to San Francisco, with Central Oregonians in between, competed in the race. Oscar Bauman of Vancouver, Washington, had the top 5K men’s time of 18:39. Ellen Kramer of Bend posted the fastest women's time at 21:32. This event, hosted by Sunriver Resort, is an annual fundraiser for the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory.

New info website for fire, smoke and health A new website will provide a one-stop shop for Central Oregon residents on wildfire, public health, smoke and prescribed fire information. Many of the resources available on the site were previously available, however, this is the first time these resources and information have been consolidated into one place. The Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Oregon Department of Forestry, Deschutes County, public health representatives, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and The Nature Conservancy collaborated on the site (centraloregonfire.org) to provide the public a more comprehensive website to answer key questions related to fire, smoke and health. This site will have up to date

information on fire locations, the current air quality and how folks can mitigate any smoke impacts to themselves and their family. “This is one of the first examples of the fire and public health community working together to combine the messages around fire, smoke and health,” says Ed Keith, Deschutes County Forester. “Providing consistent and well-rounded messaging will allow Central Oregonians to learn to live with fire safely.” Learning to live with wildland fire is critical to a community being able to adapt to fire. A community that is adapted to fire is one that acknowledges its risk and takes the necessary actions to prepare themselves. One website centralorfireinfo. blogspot.com, which has been in use since the Two Bulls Fire in 2014, will be replaced by this new website and the public should update their bookmarks. For more information on local fires, smoke and health visit centraloregonfire.org

rebuild about a mile and a half of access road to the facility. According to Bob Nelson, Sunriver Service District Board member and who spearheaded the project, said it was a huge win for the district to obtain the free aggregate. “ODOT had a problem with ‘stuff ’ and we happened to come along at the right time,” said Nelson. “It saved us around $140,000 in materials and transportation costs.” With the asphalt barely dry the facility has already been put to good use with a joint training program held in early June between Sunriver Fire & Rescue and U.S. Forest Service Newberry Division. An open house/site visit at the facility will be scheduled this fall.

Sunriver Anglers welcome all to summer picnic By Greg Cotton The Sunriver Anglers Club invites all of its members and guests to our annual summer picnic on Wednesday, Aug. 15, at the Fall River Hatchery at 5 p.m. You only need to bring a chair and if desired, an adult beverage of your choice. The club will supply everything else. Friends, relatives and neighbors are always welcome. An exact change donation of $10 per person is requested. Please RSVP (acceptance only) with your contact information and number of attendees by Sunday, Aug. 12, by replying to Chris Breault at president@ sunriveranglers.org, or registering via the event section of our website at www.sunriver anglers.org. Arrive early and enjoy the nice weather, good friends and beautiful surroundings. The picnic will be in lieu of the club’s August meeting.

Our members are traveling in all directions enjoying the great outdoors angling for those trophy fish. Make the picnic a trivia contest. In your conversations during this outing, count how many states our members have fished in. Which state was the farthest from Sunriver? How many different species of fish were caught? Were any from salt water? Atlantic or Caribbean waters? Ask about the local waters, also. The angling season is not yet over and there are plenty of fish still to be landed. East Lake, Paulina Lake, Crane Prairie Reservoir and Wickiup Reservoir have some monster trout still cruising their depths. It has been an active year for the Sunriver Anglers Club. Our mission statement is: “To promote the enjoyment and understanding of the sport of fishing through instruction, events and service; To encourage, advocate, and support conservation and protection of watersheds, fish habitat, and wild fish populations; To provide educational opportunities

to learn about fish, fish habitat, and the environment in which they live; To learn basic fishing skills, principles of stewardship, ethical conduct, and safety around the water.” Just going out fishing is not our only goal. Listed below are some of the accomplishments of the club in the last 12 months. • Members of our club have visited schools to help students raise trout from eggs to fry, followed by their release into our local waters. They have led students in knot tying and the hands-on dissection of rainbow trout to identify the different organs. Members have met with teachers, students, volunteers and parents in providing further learning experiences at the Fall River Fish Hatchery and up-close looks at streamside fish habitat. • Our angling club has donated large box nets to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to trap and remove invasive Tui chub from Central Oregon lakes. • We have had speakers come to our monthly meetings to provide expert instruction in the best tactics for fishing Crane Prairie Reservoir, East Lake, Fall River, Crooked River, Upper Deschutes and other popular fishing destinations throughout Central Oregon. • Hundreds of hot dogs were cooked and served to grade school students as they participated in the annual Kokanee Karnival educational program and fishing clinic at Shevlin Park in Bend. • The club donated anchors, bumpers and lines for a new boat built by the Bend Chapter of Band of Brothers for use by our veterans and first responders fishing on East Lake. • More than 200 kids participated in the annual Free Fishing Day at Caldera Springs. • We have had speakers talk to

New leadership at Artists’ Gallery Sunriver By Karla Proud The future of the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver is bright. The success of our artist members is our future. Our continuing goal is to provide outstanding creativity to customer service, delivery of outstanding art and a solid financial future. The Artists’ Gallery Sunriver is here after nearly eight years because of our loyal customers and the talented artists. New leadership is a part of the equation. Three partners had a shared vision that included two parts artist and one large helping of business. All of us are artists and together have close to 100 years of customer service and business experience. We rang in 2018 with the purchase of the Sunriver gallery. Bonnie Junell, a retired Nordstrom executive, brings flair and panache to the interior of the gallery along with her unique vision for others to love

and appreciate. Susan Harkness-Williams loves all things design and has a background in executive fortune 100 sales management and contracts. As for myself, I see flow and artistry in all things and owned jewelry art galleries throughout my lengthy career. I also spotlight the gallery in written advertising opportunities. We all have the distinct honor of being with the gallery almost since its inception. The heart and soul of the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver is its 30 local artists who pick up hammers, build databases, install new point of sale systems, buy light bulbs, climb ladders, paint walls, manage our business calendar, become hosts for the Second Saturday receptions and help manage a whole host of necessary functions that each artist eagerly embraces with pride. One might say it’s

tory, some of the telescopes will give you great views of these objects and others. You don’t want to miss the “Old Faithful” of meteor showers: The Perseids on Aug. 11-12. Remember that activity increases sharply in the hours after midnight. Our classes for children continue this month, with our popular rocket classes on Wednesday and Friday and the rover class on Thursday. The new solar system class on Saturday is becoming very popular, as students get to build their own model of the solar system. Check out the website (www. oregonobservatory.org) for more information and registration. I want to thank all of the people that have made it out to the observatory. I hope you enjoy August under the night skies and come by the observatory and enjoy it with us. After all, summer will be gone in no time.

These appear to be of Burmese (now Myanmar) origin, but variations of sutras have been found in India, Tibet, China and other Asian countries. Many regard them as a guide to life. They arrived from an anonymous donor who was an experienced world traveler, but without any information or explanation. Store manager Colly Rosenberg and volunteer coordinator Kirsten Force have been researching the subject, but as the Scene went to press, they were still searching for elusive answers. “For example, we’d like to learn how old the pieces are and how they were used,” said Rosenberg. “Also, we wonder if they have a special religious significance. We welcome any input from readers of this story.” Stay tuned as we find out more. Hopefully the full story of this remarkable donation can be told in a later Scene.” Other activities happening in August include continuation of special 30th anniversary promotions and, on Friday, Aug. 17, the store will celebrate National Thrift Store Day. “We’ll have

special refreshments to show how much we appreciate our customers,” said Rosenberg. Even Google isn’t sure when this special day was first established, but today there are more than 30,000 thrift stores in the U.S. Experts predict that national sales will reach $33 billion by 2021. The Tern is located on Spring River Road just west of Harper Bridge. Summer hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Information is available at 541-593-3367 and www. secondtern.com. Anyone interested in volunteering is urged to contact Kirsten Force at volunteer@secondtern.com. All Tern sales benefit the nonprofit Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory.

Painter Bonnie Junell has added even more of her beautiful landscapes – each featuring a familiar area. Her paintings of wildflowers and poppies burst from the canvas. Junell uses both brushes and her favorite large palette knife to create a buildup of paint further enhancing the creation of depth. The artist’s latest paintings have been created on wood panels (as opposed to canvas). The wood adds something special to both the painting and the presentation of the frame.

Marjorie Wood Hamlin is showcased in the lower gallery. The resort invites the public to a complimentary reception on Friday, Aug.17 from 5 to 7 p.m. JM Brodrick’s paintings expertly vary from the beauty of old growth forest, to city streets, to the majesty of horses, to expert portraiture of children and nudes. In her current series, she features scenes of noted cities – London with the River Thames, a bridge at the Edo Palace, Tokyo and Portland (Portlandia). These oil on linen works feature a light fog or mist which softens the images and invites a sense of quiet, calm. “I am a painter working toward merging my need for realism with the beauty of pure abstract,” she said. Her current series skillfully reflects this intent. Juried exhibitions and awards evidence her expertise: The Art of the Horse, Collector’s Focus, American Art Collector magazine, May 2018 (& 2017); American Woman Painters Juried Exhibition, Bennington, Vermont, 2016; Best of America, National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, 2016, and others. Her art appears in collections including Atlantic Richfield Corporation, the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Washington D.C. and the State of Alaska.

Another remnant of the Camp Abbot era is the practice of installing utilities underground. The underground utilities in the Meadow Village section of Sunriver actually date from Camp Abbot days. In fact, contractors working on the SHARC construction project in 2011 unearthed old wooden – yes wooden – water main piping, dating back to Camp Abbot. In addition to the old piping, the contractors found a small cache of Camp Abbotera artifacts such as: silverware, officers’ mess hall china and military issued i.d. tags. Suffice it to say, you can take Sunriver out of the military, but you can’t take the military past out of Sunriver. Sunriver has come a long way in 50 years, yet we are still constrained by decisions made by Sunriver’s original developer decades ago. Much of the system of roads, pathways, and common areas was laid out by the developer. One feature that remains from those early days is our system of pathway tunnels, consisting of corrugated metal pipe. It’s time to bring those tunnels into the 21st century and this year, SROA has embarked on a multi-year tunnel replacement project. This should be a win-win: bicyclists won’t have to disembark to walk their bikes through these new tunnels and our Public Works employees will be able to keep the tunnels passable more efficiently in bad weather. Another decision made in Sunriver’s early days was to require wood shake roofs. Yes, they’re beautiful, but we learned that they’re not such a great idea in an area at risk of wildfire. Prompted by the 1990 Awbrey Hall fire, just west of Bend - a

fire that scorched more than 3,350 acres and destroyed a number of homes in its path SROA implemented a host of requirements geared towards fire safety, including the aboutface on wood shake roofs. Flashing forward, the good news is that, at the end of 2017, only 44 structures in Sunriver remained with wood shake roofs (down from 500-plus just a few years ago). In addition to fire prevention efforts and maintaining Sunriver’s natural environment, the Sunriver Owners Association has made great strides in the past decade in enhancing Sunriver’s infrastructure and amenities. We repaved the entire pathway system and even added a new section of pathway. We are doing full-depth reclamation of our roadways to increase their longevity. On the amenities side, we built the SHARC and SROA’s own boat launch facility and we made modest, but important improvements to the North Pool (with a much-needed major renovation targeted for completion by the start of the 2020 summer season). To top that off, just this summer, we completely replaced the Marketplace and Meadow tennis complexes. SROA has been able to make these investments in Sunriver’s future – while enjoying maintenance fees that are a fraction of those paid in other Central Oregon planned communities – because of our association’s strong finances. Although a special assessment was required to build the SHARC, the remaining projects have been completed using funds from our reserve accounts. As I discussed in my president’s message in the December, 2017 Sunriver Scene, our association’s finances are rock solid. With our financial foundation set right, Sunriver’s future

SUNRIVER SCENE • AUGUST 2018

remains bright. While we have come far and made quite a name for ourselves through the past half-century, Sunriver is far from done. Maintaining Sunriver’s extensive infrastructure, tackling ever-changing technological needs and simply trying to continue the work that has made Sunriver the premier residential and resort community that it has grown to become will take our every effort. As I now step away from the SROA Board after serving all of SROA’s 4,167 owners for the past six years, I am proud of the progress that the community has made and the direction we are headed. I believe that we should always strive to leave something better than we found it. To that end, I am rewarded by knowing that we are living up to that standard.

For 14 months in 1943-1944, Sunriver was home to an Army Corps of Engineers training facility called Camp Abbot (named after Lt. Henry Abbot, one of the early explorers). The camp included machine gun and anti-tank practice ranges.

celebrate along with the crowd was the nature center’s resident birds Aquila, a golden eagle and Joe Jr., a great horned owl. “We love the energy that all of the runners bring to this event each year in support of the Nature Center and our mission,” said Amanda Accamando, Sunriver Nature Center Manager. “This year’s event was made extra special thanks to the flyover we received by a wild bald eagle just minutes before the run began.” The runners were sent off at the start by Rob MacGowan,

Sunriver Resort’s Director of Recreation, and a crew of volunteers hustled to record finish times, getting the racers through the chute and awarding medals and commemorative pint glasses to all. “As with most events in Sunriver, many volunteers stepped up to help with the run and walk,” said Dave Buhaly, SNCO Board President. “We couldn’t do this without them!” Many thanks to the runners and families who participated, the nature center and observatory staff, and all the volunteers out on the course, at registration, at the start and at the finish.

ings by artists of the 12”x 12” Exhibit featuring small works. Artists include Kristine Cooper, Janice Druian, Sheila Dunn, Francie Gannon, David Kinker, Michelle Lindblom, Lisa Marie Sipe, Barbara Slater, Jeanette Small, Tamara Stephas and Kelly Theil. Janice Druian’s “Sunrise at the Ranch” reflects a 180-degree view of Smith Rock and big sky from her home on a remote edge of the Deschutes River Canyon. From this high desert vista, the artist notes her attraction to the “haunting

appeared in an esteemed exhibit of the Arizona Mountain Oyster Club and also juried competitions, Yosemite Renaissance at the Yosemite National Park Museum and Cowgirl Up, the Other Half of the West, at the Desert Caballeros Museum, Wickenburg, Arizona. Lisa Marie Sipe also joins the featured 12” x 12” artists. She states that John Muir’s description of wind during a storm from his book, “The Mountains of California,” inspired her engaging abstract series, “The Waving of Winds.” The artist quotes from Muir’s book, “Never before did I enjoy so noble an exhilaration of motion. The slender tops fairly flapped and swished in the passionate torrent…” Sipe similarly reflects her respect for the natural world (previous quote to Bulletin writer David Jasper): “Nature is the only place I can truly escape, so I feel like it’s important to show how precious that space is.” Her abstract wind series, combining printing and colored oil pastels to capture movement, deftly expresses her appreciation.

short backswing, and full follow through when you return. Last, but not least, is your target what you choose to return to? When you’re facing a challenging serve, give yourself a big target. The middle of the court will work in singles. If you meet the ball a little early or late it has a good chance of going in. If you can start the point, then you have about a 50 percent chance of winning it. This will lead to you breaking serves, and taking pressure off your own serve. Practicing the return can be harder than it sounds. There’s a good reason we don’t practice our returns, and it’s because it requires us to find someone to hit the serves. Usually the only time you get to return is in a match. Next time you hit with a friend ask them to take some extra serves when you are warming up so you can get a couple more returns in. Maybe your friend will want to work on their serve, while you work on your return. At your next lesson, tell your pro that you want to work on your return. Your pro can serve while you work on one of the technical aspects of your return. This is great, because the pro can give you feedback while your working on your game. We’ve had a lot of tennis players working on their games at Tennis Hill located at Fort Rock Park this summer. Our clinics are in the morning, and are a good way to start your day. If you are looking for match play during the week, we host two socials during the week: one on Wednesday night from 4:30 to 6 p.m., and one on Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. The socials are a great way to meet new people who share a passion for tennis.

As part of the tour, Noack will also play at Smith Rock State Park on Sept. 5 (the first concert ever permitted on these public lands) and in the caldera at Fort Rock State Natural Area on Sept. 8. These concerts are a celebration of the many threads that have woven together to make this event possible in the high desert beauty of Central Oregon. Noack was raised in Sunriver. His father worked for several years as golf pro on both the Meadows and Woodlands golf courses, while his mother served as executive director of the Sunriver Music Festival. Noack’s development as a classical musician was funded for more than 10 years thanks to scholarships through Sunriver Music Festival’s Young Artist

Area boasts new food cart park

ALL TRACK CYCLE

Grubby from a day of biking, hiking or just spent the day floating the river? After a day of recreating your tummy is grumbling but if you’re not the freshest flower and you don’t feel comfortable dining in your cutoffs then head to Elkibou’s Food Cart Park which touts, “come as you are!” This is also a place where you won’t get glares if the youngsters are running around like a bunch of monkeys. There is a small playground and large grass area perfect for romping and burning off some of that extra energy. Well-mannered pooches are also welcome. Elkibou’s theme is a nod to the history of the Oregon Trail with wagon train style carts encircling a heated northwest-style timber pavilion with seating areas and two fire pits to curl up next to as the daytime temperatures

cool. The name “elkibou” came from a McGinn’s brother as family joke, who always called Sunriver’s resident elk “caribou.” The name eventually morphed to “elkibou” and the park’s mascot – an elk/caribou cross named Gus who wears goggles and a scarf – was born. The park features corn hole games, colorful tables and chairs and grassy area to spread out a blanket and enjoy in ice cold beverage or a meal. There will be live musical entertainment on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and plans for outdoor movie nights are in the works. Currently, Elkibou’s has four food carts. The cart lineup includes: • Amago: Asian influences with a twist. • Nosh: Snack-sized offerings make from locally-obtained ingredients.

• Bruneau’s South Philly Cuisine: Philly cheese steak sandwiches and Greek gyros. • Blue Rooster: Chicken and waffles, Korean tacos and Vietnamese pho. • There is also sangria, mead, wine and beer carts. According to Elkibou’s owner Mike McGinn, some carts may rotate to keep things fresh. “We’re also looking to get some sort of dessert – like gelato or shaved ice,” said McGinn. As the Scene was going to press, McGinn noted the addition of a gelato and espresso cart would be coming next spring. Park hours will generally be between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. (open later if there is an event). “We’re trying to see what works best,” said McGinn.

It only takes a spark… By Jim Bennett Since we were children we have heard the expression “it only takes a spark.” Whether it was Smokey Bear, our parents or the firefighters who came to our schools, the message has been and continues to be the same… it only takes a spark. In the early morning hours of July 1, Sunriver Fire & Rescue crews responded to the area of the marina on a smoldering bark chip fire that someone noticed and immediately reported. Fortunately, it didn’t have time to expand into a serious fire and the only damage was to a very small patch of landscaping. The cause of this minor fire, which could have become serious, was fairly obvious. Carelessly discarded and sitting in the middle of the charred bark was the culprit… a cigarette.

We and our community take fire safety very seriously – we have to! Our community, through the Sunriver Owners Association, has enacted a variety of rules to support our fire prevention efforts. One of which is a ban on the use of cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other substances in certain areas. Specifically, these are prohibited “on or along any road, drive, lane (except within an enclosed motor vehicle), pathway, trail or any SROA owned property unless specifically permitted by signage.” Carelessly discarded cigarettes are certainly not the only threat to our pristine community. Fire threat exists from cooking and warming fires such as briquette barbecues and fire pits. For this reason, the community (SROA rules) also prohibits these types

access road to the facility. New business • Fire building options update: Discussions on what to do with public safety housing/admin has been underway for a couple years. Options include morphing fire/police into one building or potentially purchasing the existing fire department building rather than leasing it from SROA. A task force will be formed in the fall to research all options. • Deschutes County management agreement update: The management agreement needs further work and cleanup. The SSD and Deschutes County will be parties and SROA as a signer in the agreement. • Update on discussion with 911 regarding fire radios: SSD staff met with representatives of 911 and Deschutes County. It was determined that Sunriver of fires and devices: “Outdoor burning equipment is prohibited except for gas or electric cooking devices or patio heaters with an enclosed flame, which are allowed on patios or decks away from trees or ground cover. Other forms of outdoor cooking may be allowed by seasonal permit for commercial uses or by special permit from the SROA”. Likewise, there are no outdoor warming or ambiance fires allowed and all fires must be kept to indoor fireplaces and woodstoves. All of our fire prevention and safety rules can be found in the Sunriver Rules and Regulations on the Sunriver Owners Association website at www.sunriv erowners.org While gas barbecues are allowed, the SRFD still responds on the occasional “barbecue fire” or structure-impacted fire, due to the careless use of a gas

Fire was inadvertently misinformed about the functionality of the radios and a refund was issued in the amount of $13, 616. • Administrative performance appraisals were done for administrator Debbie Baker, Asst. Chief Rod Bjorvik and interim police chief Scott Hayes. All received high praise for their work. • Accepted the June 2018 unaudited financials. Other business • The next SSD board meeting is Aug. 16. Chief reports Police • In June, the Sunriver Police Department received 1,066 calls for service: 51 were emergencies, 172 were non-emergency and 842 were self-initiated. Officers conducted 209 traffic stops, provided 185 community-policing responses, there barbecue. These fires typically begin when a barbecue is placed too close to a combustible, such as dry vegetation, dry wood structure, etc. In some cases, the fires began with what the user believed was the good intention of burning off the grease, rust and food particles by leaving it on high for a long period, forT  S,  

Staff and officer training included DPSST website and forms updating and procedural law and justice training. Officers will now be carrying tourniquets to use, if necessary in a medical emergency. • Police Chief Darling praised Citizens Patrol members Doug Seator and Carolyn Barr for their work organizing members for the Pacific Crest Weekend Sports Festival. • The department is working with Rite Aid to obtain a medication disposal box for owners to drop off unused medications for proper disposal.

you turn it on. Clean grease and grime with appropriate, safe cleaners and steer clear of the “burn-it-off” technique of cleaning your grill. Our days are plenty warm this time of year so it’s unlikely that you may have a warming fire in your fireplace or woodstove. However, there are those days where the Central Oregon weather isn’t quite as warm as we hoped, especially when we move into the fall, when the forest is

still dry, but cooler conditions prevail. Carelessly discarded ashes from fireplaces and woodstoves cause fires every year throughout the country, some that reach devastating proportions. Always allow your fire to burn completely out, after you believe it’s fully out, confirm there are no hot-spots, then safely transfer the ashes to an approved ash can. The can should be stored away from combustibles with the lid securely on and make it your routine to check the can after putting ashes in it to ensure that nothing has knocked it over or the lid has come off. Approved ash cans can be purchased at the Sunriver Fire Department. Let’s continue to enjoy a great summer that is free from unwanted fire.

Personal safety tips

Sunriver Fire 50th Anniversary Sunriver Fire and Rescue is celebrating its golden anniversary with the community during a special event at the fire station on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Located next to the Sunriver Owners Association, residents, visitors and community members are in-

Gun Safety Storage • Every gun owner should carefully consider the reasons for having a gun. If there is no compelling need to own a gun, consider removing it from your home. A gun increases, not decreases, the danger to your family. • If you own firearms, carefully consider where you keep them. Hall closets, nightstands, drawers by the outside doors of your home and other traditional places are often where criminals, and curious children, look first. • Store guns unloaded, locked up and with a lock on the trigger. Consider a lock box for handguns. Store ammunition separately – and locked. • If you or a family member are experiencing high levels of anger, fear or depression, remove guns from your home. It is during these times a gun is often used against a loved one or against oneself. • Never handle a gun when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Never leave a gun in your vehicle. Guns are often stolen from cars. • Teach children never to touch a firearm without supervision, and to immediately tell an adult if they find a gun. • You are responsible for how your guns are stored and used. Know where your firearms are at all times. • All gun owners should receive training in the safe handling and care of their guns and ammunition. – Source: Sunriver Police Department

The Bells of Sunriver

Sunriver handbell music abounds Sunriver Christian Fellowship (SCF) is blessed to have a wide range of talented musicians who provide inspiring music throughout the year. The church has a long history of accomplished instrumentalists, vocalists and handbell musicians. The Bells of Sunriver was founded by Barbara Brocker in 1996 and she is still an active member. She started the group with a set of bells that was a parting gift from her Tacoma church. The number of handbells owned by SCF has grown

over the years to include more than 125 bells and chimes. The Bells of Sunriver play monthly for worship at SCF and is active in the Central Oregon community through attendance at workshops, concerts in Bend and Sunriver, a flash mob at Christmas time on the streets of Sunriver and much more. Besides the full choir, there are several smaller ensembles within the group that also play for worship and in the community. Barbara Brocker is a belltree aficionado and is known nationally

and internationally for her expertise. Shelley Giaier has been the handbell director at SCF since 2016. She brings a wealth of experience to the Bells of Sunriver. She has been fortunate to ring in and direct some wonderful bell choirs while living in Michigan, Iowa, New Jersey and now Oregon. She started directing in 1992 at Brighton United Methodist Church in Michigan. She also directed at the Ankeny United Methodist Church in Iowa, Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church in New Jersey and the Jubilation Ringers (community choir) in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Currently she directs at SCF and Bend church, United Methodist. She has three grown children who have all rung bells at one time or another and a husband who is a bass bell ringer at Bend Church. She is passionate about handbells and feels blessed to have found enthusiastic ringers here in Central Oregon. Pastor Rob Pearson coordinates the various music programs at Sunriver Christian Fellowship. In addition, he has led the adult choir at SCF

Serving Central Oregon for more than 25 years

for the past 16 years. Pearson has directed church choirs and ensemble groups for the past 40 years. He also serves as an accompanist to both vocal and instrumental soloists, ensembles, and occasionally the church choir. Along with being a great director, he also has a wonderful ear for music, and chooses music for the choir that is inspirational and also fun to sing. Pearson has published music as well, and has even published a piano CD. The choir normally sings one Sunday a month, with special music during holiday seasons. SCF is also lucky to have

many members with years of musical experience, both as instrumentalists and vocalists. When the choir and handbells are not scheduled, there is always beautiful music to enjoy at some point during the service. Sunriver Christian Fellowship meets at Holy Trinity Catholic Church on Cottonwood Road, across from the Sunriver Marketplace at 10 a.m. every Sunday. There is also Sunday school for the young ones.

August author events By Deon Stonehouse August is going to be unusual for author events. In August, Sunriver Books & Music welcomes authors Thor Hanson and Tor Hanson. Although a single letter distinguishes one name from the other, they are both very different

authors on different subjects. • Wednesday, Aug. 1 at 5 p.m. Thor Hanson presents “Buzz,” the latest of his books on the wonders of the natural world. Thor’s enthusiasm for nature and his delight in sharing its many splendors is evident in his writing. Reading one of his

books is like sitting down for a cozy chat with an exceptionally intelligent friend who vividly explains nature in an interesting way. For instance, letting us know how bees started; they evolved from wasps, forsaking carnivorous ways to seek pollen in flowers, thus avoiding confrontations with a feisty spider that might just end up with the wasp being dinner itself rather than enjoying a meal. Recently bees have perished in huge numbers, Thor talks about theories and solutions, illustrating what scientists and beekeepers are doing to keep us all in honey. Thor is a warm, friendly speaker and gives a presentation that is both informative and fun. August’s first Saturday is a fes-

tive day; The Village at Sunriver will be filled with the beautifully crafted quilts by the Mountain Meadow Quilters for Sunriver’s annual Quilt Show. Enjoy the quilt show then join us for this quilting-related author event. • Saturday, Aug. 4 at 5:30 p.m. Arlene Sachitano will give a presentation on her latest mystery, “Quilts Make a Family,” featuring Harriet Truman and the Loose Threads quilting guild. Set in the fictional town of Foggy Point near Port Angeles with the jagged peaks of the Olympics as a back drop, the series has a gorgeous Northwestern setting. The characters are likeable, the mystery interesting, and the setting gorgeous! “Quilts Make a Family” begins with the

Loose Threads engaging in what should be a safe activity, making quilts for foster children. It is no surprise that not all foster parents are nice people. Everything escalates into trouble when a foster parent is murdered, there is a kidnapping and a reality TV crew is running film. Quilting beauty will continue through the month of August at Sunriver Books & Music. The Mountain Meadows Quilters will have a spectacular display of their quilts upstairs in the loft area. The quality, creativity and beauty of their quilts make them works of art and a pleasure to view. • Saturday, Aug. 18 at 5 p.m. Tor Hanson will give a presentation on “Camp Abbot,” a history of what came before Sunriver. Camp Abbot was established as an engineer training center during WWII. Col. Frank Beeson of the Corps of Engineers, was charged with running the camp. Beeson knew what the engineers would face, in WWI he commanded engineers on the Western Front. Over 90,000 combat engineers were trained at Camp Abbot T  A,  

Book clubs a great way to meet other passionate readers By Deon Stonehouse Summer is the perfect time to sit on the deck reading a good book. Book Clubs meet Monday at 6 p.m. at Sunriver Books & Music in The Village at Sunriver. • Aug. 13 the Mystery Book Club discusses “The Heist” by Daniel Silva. Gabriel Allon is a talented man; he travels restoring precious works of art while spying for Israel in sumptuous locations. The story takes place in Venice, Marseilles, Corsica, Paris, Geneva and Australia. Caravaggio’s painting, Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence, is a missing treasure. General Ferrari of the Italian police persuades Gabriel to help in a murder investigation and finding stolen art in order to save his friend, Julian Isherwood, from a murder rap. Julian, an art dealer, happened upon a murder scene in Lake Como and the authorities found him

for war duty. “Camp Abbot” is filled with period photographs and details about the camp. As we have many requests for books on the history of the area, this is right to the point. • Saturday, Sept. 1 at 5 p.m. Jane Kirkpatrick will give a presentation on her latest work of historical fiction, “Everything She Didn’t Say.” Jane writes of the lives of strong women. Carrie Strahorn traveled the west extensively, her husband Robert Strahorn was involved in railroads during the early 1900s. More details coming in the September Scene. Craig Johnson, author of the international bestselling Sheriff Walt Longmire series and inspiration for the hit TV drama, Longmire, will be here Sept. 9 for “Depth of Winter,” the latest in the Longmire series. The story takes Walt into the remote desert of Mexico where his daughter Cady is being held by a killer with a grudge against Walt. Expect lots of action and high stakes as Walt risks his life to save his child. This event, due to its popularity, will be held at SHARC. All other events are at Sunriver Books & Music. Reserve your seat early as space is limited. To sign up to attend any of the above events email sunriv erbooks@sunriverbooks.com, call 541-593-2525, or stop by Sunriver Books & Music in building 25 in The Village at Sunriver. All events include refreshments and drawings for prizes. More information can be found at sunriverbooks.com.

to be a convenient suspect. The victim is a spy and an art thief, hence involving the purloined masterpiece. Money stolen by the Syrian government is also involved, allowing Gabriel to bring in his team. Lots of intrigue and suspense! • Aug. 20 the Fiction Book Club discusses “Everybody’s Son” by Thrity Umrigar. Anton was only 9 years old in 1991 when his mother went in search of drugs, found her dealer, and spent the next seven days in a drug induced haze while her son starved and sweltered. It was a hot summer, the temperature was 95 degrees and the windows to the apartment were painted shut, beyond the ability of a thin 9-year-old boy to open. For his “safety” his mother had locked him into the apartment. Food ran out on day three, about the time the electricity was turned off for non-payment. The telephone had been shut off earlier. Anton drank tap water, trying to stave off the hunger and heat. Finally, on day seven, weakened and worried

about his mother, Anton threw a chair into the window and climbed out, cutting himself on a shard of glass. A kindly police officer picked the kid up when he noticed him walking down the sidewalk trailing blood. His “mom” was found just a few blocks away, higher than a kite. Anton is desperate to be reunited with his mother; she is desperate to have her son back. Odd how a beaten dog will go back to its owner, a woman to her abuser, and a child is eager to return to a parent who could prove deadly. However, the law is involved now, so Anton is put in the foster system and Juanita, the mother, is sent to jail. Judge David Coleman is a good man,

from a privileged background, the son of a US Senator. His son died in a tragic accident, David would like to have a child in their large home again and help out a kid in dire circumstances. He is a little nervous when offered Anton, not sure he is the right choice for a traumatized black child. His worries turn to a deep

love for this golden child, he is filled with protectiveness and caring that take him past boundaries in order to keep Anton. The boundaries crossed come home to roost when Anton discovers the truth as an adult. The scenes with Anton coming to grips with the actions of people he loved and trusted, and his moral deliberations about the path he must take for the future are wonderfully written and deeply moving. Anton is an absolutely splendid character. This is a perfect book club selection. It asks disturbing questions about moral choices, ethnicity, and the use of power granted by wealth and privilege.

Sunriver Men’s Golf: Memorial cup winners; Sunriver improves in Resort Cup By Paul Grieco Humorous comments aside about breaking up Sunriver’s version of the old “hated” Yankee teams, two-time consecutive winners of the prestigious Memorial Trophy, Scott Brown and Doug Johnson, did not accomplished a three-peat. Instead the team of Dave Hennessy and Dan Frantz pulled off the difficult feat of winning a four-way tie at net 60 in a scorecard playoff in a 19-team field. Frantz’s and Hennessy’s achievement garnered for them the coveted Brian Holmes Memorial Trophy (named for a SRMGC member and former president who died in 2014). The Memorial Tournament was introduced to honor other SRMGC members who have passed away in the past year. At an SRMGC sponsored lunch after the Woodlands event, president Don Wright named this year’s honoree, long-time member John Simmons who passed away earlier this year. Wright called for a period of silent contemplation in a show of respect for Simmons. Hennessy and Frantz were presented with a beautiful bronze trophy, created by Bend artist Mark Crnich, with a specially designed base by our SRMGC member and own artist in residence, Greg Cotton, with help from fellow woodworker, and one of this year’s winners, Dave Hennessy. Hennessy won once before in 2015, with partner Dave Long. The winners’ names will be engraved on the trophy, and they will keep possession until it is turned over to the next year’s winning team. The game was one net better ball and the final net score of 60 was matched also by second place finishers Dennis Wood and Mike Stamler. Usually ties are broken by comparing back nine scores (holes 10 through 18), but these, too, were tied. Finally, a one-stroke tie-breaking difference was found in the last six holes. Also carding 60s, Clair Spaulding and Allan Crisler finished third and John Volkober and Tom Woodruff in fourth place.

advantage, and nine points behind third place. At Black Butte’s Glaze Meadows venue in July, Sunriver finished second with 297 points to the home team’s 308 points.

Currently, Sunriver is tied for third with Eagle Crest with 611 total points, trailing Black Butte’s 648 and Widgi Creek’s 634. Two events remain, EaT  M’ G,  

Letters from readers

Questioning code of conduct

By Robert Bennington To the SROA leadership: Please bring an end to the “us vs. them” approach we have seen from you these past few years. Let’s move our community back towards unity and collaboration. I support our community having a general “Code of Conduct” that is universal for all owners, employees, businesses, vendors, and visitors. The proposed Code of Civility targeted at non-employee/volunteer owners and its resulting punishments will only weaken our community, it will not strengthen it.

Scene Opinion Policy

What happened to the bike parade?

To support a free and open exchange of information and ideas, the Sunriver Scene welcomes letters to the editor up to 200 words, and Chorus of One submissions up to 400 words, on topics of relevance to Sunriver. All letters are subject to editing for brevity, grammar, clarity, civility and legal concerns. Opinions expressed are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the Sunriver Owners Association. Letters to the editor must be signed and include contact information which we may use to verify authorship or clarify questions. Letters will run as space allows. Letters of a personal nature or attacks on individuals will not be published. Letters perceived as advertising for a company, product or a candidate will not be published.

By Joe Huseonica Is it appropriate to say “Bah Humbug” on the 4th of July? That’s what I have to say to the Scrooges who failed to organize our traditional 4th of July parade here in Sunriver. Instead we get two competing events: one at the resort and one in the village. The 4th of July is a celebration of unity, not competition.

Summer fun for women golfers Sunriver Women's Golf Association (SWGA) is in full swing as their first major twoday tournament of the season took place July 9 and July 12. SWGA members Roxie Oglesby and Deb Coulter organized the Partnership Tournament with a "Toadally Awesome" theme to the delight of the golfers, who tried to follow the theme with frog ideas and costumes. Sue Wassom and Christie Alvarez won the tournament in flight one after a scorecard playoff with Fern Robinson and Susan Wengel, who finished in second place. In flight two, Joan Haynes and Kathy Frazier took first place while Nancy Nevin and Joni Cloud were second after a scorecard playoff with Penny Zega and Barb Smith. The ladies enjoyed a buffet luncheon at Marcellos after the second day's round. In late June, the SWGA team hosted the Central Oregon Women's Team Golf season opener at Sunriver’s Woodlands gourse. Golfers from Awbrey Glen, Bend Country Club, Crooked River Ranch, Eagle Crest, Juniper, Prineville, Sunriver and Widgi Creek compete in two-person match play throughout the season. Team results will be posted in the Sunriver Scene

this fall. SWGA golfers enjoy weekly play every Wednesday at either the Woodlands or Meadows courses. They are looking forward to their Championship Tournament in August – another two-day event. If you are a golfer and would like to check out the SWGA, you are welcome to play as a guest of a member.
