SROA board candidates announced SROA NEWS – Seven candidates are vying for three seats on the Sunriver Owners Association Board of Directors for 2019-2021. The slate of the candidates was presented to the SROA Board of Directors during the April 20 regular board meeting. Nominating Committee chair Laurence MacLaren addressed the board, explaining the process was a “committee endeavor” finding and selecting potential board members. “You have a great group of people and they are all very, very different but bring a lot to the position,” said MacLaren. “We are fortunate to have so many people throw their hat in the ring – there are no losers here.” T C,
County moving forward with parking improvements at Harper Bridge On March 13, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners gave county road department staff approval to move forward with implementing parking improvements on Spring River Road for public river access at Harper Bridge. The project will involve widening the road to create more space so cars can safely park without spilling into the adjacent travel lanes. It will also provide an additional buffer for pedestrians by placing a bike lane in between the parking spaces and travel lanes. Construction is expected to begin in May and be finished in early July. The plan will include 50 parallel parking spots. Areas outside of designated parking will be posted “No Parking,” thereby limiting the number of parties T H B, SUNRIVER SCENE SUNRIVER OWNERS ASSN. VOLUME XLV • NUMBER 5 P.O.

Melissa Etheridge coming to Sunriver The Sunriver Owners Association is excited to announce Melissa Etheridge for this summer’s ticketed concert. Join Etheridge for an evening of unforgettable songs and new music from her recently-released album “The Medicine Show.” The concert will take place on Wednesday, July 24 in the John Gray Amphitheater at the Sunriver Homeowners Aquatic & Recreation Center (SHARC).
A singer, songwriter, guitarist and activist Etheridge debuted her self-titled first album in 1988. She is known for hits such as “Come To My Window,” “Breathe,” I’m The Only One” and “Bring Me Some Water.” Etheridge sounds as rousing as ever, bringing a new level of artistry to “The Medicine Show” album. Known for her passionate and dynamic live performances, she is embarking on a U.S.
concert tour in support of the album, which includes the Sunriver stop. To date, Etheridge’s incredible career includes sales of more than 25 million albums, five platinum and three multiplatinum records, 15 Grammy Award nominations and two wins, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and an Academy Award for “I Need to Wake Up” from the climate change documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” Her last release, “Memphis Rock & Soul,” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Blues Chart. Etheridge has selflessly dedicated herself as an activist for human rights, LGBTQ issues, breast cancer awareness and alternative medical approaches. “The Medicine Show” album deals with universal themes of renewal, reconciliation, reckoning, compassion and, most profoundly, healing. Through the songs she processed the deep fears and hurting she saw in the nation on collective and personal levels; “Shaking” about national anxiety, “Here Comes the Pain,” personalizing the opioid crisis, the unifying “Human Chain” about the hope for healing, and the rocking, anthemic “Love Will Live.” More highlights include the album-closer, “Last Hello” drawing on the incredible strengths and courage shown by the T C,

Sunriver has become the National Weather Service’s newest Weather Ready Nation (WRN) Ambassador. As an ambassador, the Sunriver Owners Association is making a commitment to those living in the greater Sunriver area to ensure they are prepared for any hazardous weather that may threaten the community and sharing seasonal weather safety information. As a WRN Ambassador, part-
ners commit to working with NOAA and other ambassadors to strengthen national resilience against extreme weather. The WRN Ambassador initiative is the connecting hub of a vast network of federal, state and local government agencies, emergency managers and city planners, researchers, the media, the insurance industry, nonprofit organizations, the private sector and many others

natural disasters include volcanic eruption, flood, earthquake to man-made incidents such as a hazardous materials spill or act of terrorism. “I’m sure many believe ‘oh, that would never happen here or happen to me’ … We hope it never does, but I encourage everyone to visit the website and educate themselves on being prepared,” said Berger Both the Sunriver Fire and Police chiefs will be proactively promoting the campaign throughout the community to owners, visitors and property managers. The chiefs are also asking everyone to sign up to receive Sunriver-specific emergency text alerts via your cell phone (see box on page 1 for steps to sign up). Visitors should also register while staying in Sunriver as they can opt-out to stop receiving the messages once they head back home. If you’d like materials to help promote the HEAR IT? CHECK IT!

the many natural beauties Oregon has to offer. While most days are calm and quiet, summer is a time when weather can be quite volatile. Warm days often trigger thunderstorms along and near the mountains each afternoon. Lightning, hail and strong winds are common in these storms, and with enough rain, flash flooding can also occur. During the peak of summer, days of hot and dry weather can promote favorable conditions for wildfires, which can char thousands of acres in a matter of hours. While these threats don't occur every day, it's important to know how to respond when they do. What do you do if you're two miles into a hike and a storm develops nearby? What if you're camping along the Deschutes when a flash flood warning is issued? What actions should you take when a wildfire threatens? This workshop will provide answers to each of these questions and more. Registration by June 5 is required as seating is limited.

The Foundation of Making Wise Decisions About a decade ago, SROA was in trouble. When the developer (and later-on the successor to the developer, the Resort) turned over properties to our association in compliance with the Consolidated Plan of Sunriver, we “inherited” many amenities and infrastructure that were of a “vintage” age and in serious Bob Nelson decline. This included things like roads, pathways, parks, pools, and tennis courts. We simply did not have the revenue to address all of our infrastructure needs. We had no financial reserves to speak of. It was incumbent upon us therefore to face these challenges head-on and make a change as to how we do things in Sunriver. While there was ample evidence that many issues and problems were talked about, there was scant evidence of any thorough analysis of the problems we faced. In reality, there was a great deal of talking and opinion sharing relative to the calamity knocking at our door. But, as I learned quite a while ago, “talk is cheap.” The Board determined that to begin to make change we had to strengthen our decision-making skills and process. We recognized that we could not use personal opinion and anecdotal story-telling or some base-ideology as the primary basis for making community-wide decisions. That path clearly had not worked for us. We also needed to avoid making assumptions. We had an ever-moving target by basing judgments on an abundance of assumptions, few of which were supported by facts and data. Simply put, the Board recognized that it needed to develop a sound and structured means of decision-making if they and the community at-large were to succeed.
We began by gathering relevant, accurate and wellresearched information, which would serve as the foundation for change. The issue was – and continues to be – the necessity of having a reliable and robust data base available to us to use. It was clear that hearsay had not served us well throughout the years. Our decision-making process requirements include a number information gathering and data analysis tasks. These include: ✓ Assembling all possible data that might be helpful in analyzing the issue at hand and generating solutions such as demographics and financial information. ✓ Analyzing data for accuracy and reliability. ✓ Identifying the sources of the data ✓ Gathering historical data such as past practice or previous efforts to address the issue(s). ✓ Identifying all possible supporting and hindering factors involved in probable solutions ✓ Identifying the potential positive and negative impacts or consequences of the proposed decisions ✓ Identifying the real issue to be addressed or the underlying aim of goal to be attained ✓ What might be the unintended consequences of proposed decision ✓ If the issue is a problem, to whom is it a problem? ✓ Determine the financial impact, both short and long term. These are a few of the main tasks involved in how the Board now makes decisions. It has been utilized for a number of important decisions going back to when it was first implemented to address our reserves in 2009. We had a major problem to solve. We conducted a number of financial analyses and engaged a reserve specialist to identify the costs associated with replacing aging infrastructure and develop a financial plan that told us when something needed to be replaced and how much money we needed in reserve fund to
pay for replacement. Additionally, this plan laid-out a decades-long financial strategy for this reserve fund for the Board (and all future Boards) to follow. Long story made short, our owners voted to contribute funds that are to be used for the association’s replacement, renovation and construction of its current and future amenities and infrastructure. The end result after receiving the vote of approval from owners in 2009 for this reserve plan was that SROA could start the ambitious, but much-needed, task of replacing our roads and pathways. Best of all, we were doing so based upon an expert-driven prioritization system. In the past 10 years, we have used our process of anchoring our decisions based upon verifiable facts, expert recommendations and empirical data. This approach has been applied on a variety of significant SROA projects such as: SHARC, the SROA boat launch facility, the intersection improvements near the Village as well as our property exchange with the Resort. Even as I write, we are actively engaged in making decisions in this same manner regarding the replacement of the North Pool. This latest effort, the renovation and construction of a potential new North Pool Complex, has been supported by extensive financial analysis and modeling and the active involvement of owners through presentations, surveys and other print materials. We are near making a final decision based those facts and reliable data. In all of the instances referenced here, not only can we substantiate our decisions, but also make sure that we are making decisions for the community that will positively impact all owners, not just a few special interests. Also be assured that as we make decisions into the future, we will require those coming before the Board requesting support for one project or another to have used the same processes that are described here in.

Learn about raptor rehab at Men’s Club luncheon By Ken Arnold On Thursday, May 16, Kody Osborne, lead naturalist at the Sunriver Nature Center, will introduce you to a live raptor from the nature center's rehab program during the Sunriver Men’s Club monthly luncheon. Held at the Grille at Crosswater, all Sunriver area men and women are welcome to attend. The cost is $25 per person.

Fire season is just around the corner and now is the time for Central Oregonians to prepare. Fire science tells us that if you have created and maintained a defensible/survivable space around your home, it has an 80 percent chance of surviving a wildfire without fire department assistance. Those are great odds and FireFree urges residents to take that bet, and prepare for the upcoming wildfire season. There are some simple steps you can take to protect your home and community from wildfire. This spring, partners in the Central Oregon area will host FireFree days. Crook, Deschutes, Klamath and Jef-
Board authorizes ballot language for North Pool renovation project SROA NEWS – The North Pool Task Force unanimously recommended the finalized conceptual design for renovation of the North Pool. Created by architecture firm Mackenzie, the design is the culmination of months of information gathering from surveys and input via email and meetings with owners in Sunriver, as well as hosting workshops in the I-5 corridor.

Book highlights history of Sunriver The history of Sunriver, from its early settlers to becoming a World War II training camp to the creation of a residential community and world class resort, is chronicled in the new book, “Images of America: Sunriver.” Printed by Arcadia Publishing and written by Bend author Tor Hanson, the 127-page softbound book is a photographic journey of Sunriver’s past and present. You may have seen these popular books – as many have been printed about various regions and historical topics within Central Oregon. Hanson also wrote the book “Images of America: Camp Abbot.” Hanson spent hundreds of hours conducting research and sifting through thousands of images on file at the Sunriver Owners Association and Deschutes Historical Society. Long-time residents, Sunriver Fire & Rescue, Sunriver Resort and the Sunriver Chamber of
Commerce also provided images and information for the book. Hanson also perused every issue of the Sunriver Scene as well as its predecessor, Harold, looking for tidbits of historical relevance as far back as the 1970s. A perfect souvenir for anyone who loves Sunriver, the Sunriver Owners Association has a limited number of the books for sale at $19 (discounted from the $23.99 retail price).

Partners in nature By Amanda Accamando For more than 50 years, Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory (SNCO) has partnered with our community to achieve the mission of inspiring children and adults alike to understand and cherish nature. This strong legacy of partnerships has allowed us to not only extend our reach to new audiences, but to strengthen our ties to the Central Oregon community, and deepen the experience that our visitors and students have on a daily basis. This year we are excited to forge new partnerships that will allow us to bring additional learning opportunities to our visitors and community. Late last fall, we sat down with Cidney Bowman, Wildlife Passage coordinator for Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Bowman had just wrapped up ODOT’s first celebration of “Watch Out for Wildlife” week, an
initiative created to educate people about the importance of driving smarter and safer in wildlife areas. As a wildlife rehabilitation center we’ve treated many animals at the nature center for injuries caused by vehicle collisions and we discuss these experiences on a regular basis with our visitors. Thus, it was an easy decision for us to work together with ODOT on this initiative. The first result of this partnership will be a film screening and panel discussion to be held on May 22, 6 p.m. at SHARC ($5 admission; registration required). Hosted in collaboration with ODOT, three short documentary films will showcase efforts within the Pacific Northwest to increase habitat connectivity and reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with representatives from Deschutes National Forest,

goals. One of these goals was to make birding more accessible. Because high quality optics can be a financial commitment, this can be a deterrent to people interested in birding as a hobby. Recognizing this barrier, ECAS generously donated four Vortex binoculars to the Nature Center allowing us to equip new birders with loaner binoculars when they join us on a bird walk. Another major goal for both of our organizations was to foster the next generation of birders by providing more opportunities for children and families to bird together. This summer, the Nature Center in conjunction with ECAS, will
begin to offer monthly birding outings for families. These programs will combine hands-on activities such as crafting home bird feeders or nest boxes with shorter bird walks to engage all ages in bird appreciation. Over the years, the Nature Center has been fortunate to work with outstanding partners in nature including Children’s Forest of Central Oregon, Project Ponderosa, Central Oregon Mushroom Club, Oregon State Parks, Native Plant Society and many others. As we grow, we will continue to seek even more opportunities to align our efforts with partners that share a passion for connecting people to nature.
Fancy bonnet arrives at Second Tern By Wes Perrin An unusual example of high fashion headgear recently arrived at Sunriver’s Second Tern Thrift Store in the form of an elaborately flowered chapeau made by Everbest Originals of Hollywood, Florida and “Styled by Coralie.” The hat fits close to the head and features an abundance of
creamy satin flowers, a dash of green accent, and is topped off with a gold ribbon. The “Coralie” style which was hugely popular in the late 1950s and early 60s, is seen frequently for sale on internet vintage hat sites. A recent review found prices ranging from the teens to a T T,

SUNRIVER SCENE • MAY 2019
May brings meteor shower, blue moon By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager Time waits for no one, and we find ourselves moving quickly to summer. May is here, and we are ready. The night sky offers some wonderful views this month; let’s hope the weather allows for viewing. First up is a meteor shower. The Eta Aquarids meteor shower peaks on May 6 & 7, and will have upwards of 30 meteors per hour. Faint meteors may be washed out by the moonlight, however viewing before the moon rises should be nice. This is one of two meteor showers created by debris from Halley’s comet, the other being the Orionid meteor shower in October. On May 18, we have a special blue moon. The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the “full flower moon.” For them, this was the time of year when the spring flowers appeared in full color. Others have called this moon the “full corn planting moon” and the “milk moon.” Why is this considered a blue moon? This is the third of four full moons in this season. This rare event only happens once every few years, which is why the term “once in a blue moon” is used. There are normally only three full moons in each season of the year, but since full moons occur every 29.53 days, we sometimes get a season with four full moons. The extra full moon of the season, occurs about every 2.7 years.
Since it will happen on Saturday, May 18, we will have a special program starting at 8 p.m., prior to our normal viewing. Join us for an informative talk about the moon and the myths that surround it. Much of the summer night sky returns in May, so we are excited to have some of our deep sky objects come back into view. Galaxies, nebulas and star clusters will remain our prime targets. The view of the Hercules star cluster is amazing in our telescopes. We start our program an hour later in May, and we will be open on Wednesday and Saturday night from 9 to 11 p.m. Our daytime programs will be Wednesday-Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for solar viewing. May is also the time that the staff starts to put the finishing touches on exhibits to get ready for the summer season ahead and a busy month with school groups coming for observatory programs. We have already started work on some of the improvements, including updates to exhibits. Come check out our new photo opportunity in the dome area to have your picture taken in a space suit on the moon. As I look around the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory, I am reminded of the generosity of you, our members, donors and volunteers to our organization. The gifts of time that so many have contributed to our mission never cease to amaze me. Every weekend, volunteers work endless hours at the Second Tern Thrift Store or here at the Nature Center & Observatory. My staff and I wish to thank all of you for all the continued support.

Sunriver welcomes new librarian By Candace Gray Sunriver area residents had a special reason to celebrate National Library Week in April – they now have their own in-house librarian. Sami Kerzel is the first librarian in seven years to be able to devote her whole focus to our community. Her position is a new one, brought about by the
extensive needs survey of community members and patrons that the Deschutes Public Library (DPL) has conducted over the past few years. Is there such a thing as a “born librarian?” As a child, Kerzel organized her many books at home with a system she devised. She also created a way to keep track of books she loaned friends and family. It was no surprise to her parents, who spent many hours with her at the Salem Public Library, nor to her grandmother who was a high

school librarian, when she decided to go to graduate school in library science. Kerzel received her Masters of Library and Information Sciences from University of Washington in Seattle in 2016. After working in the OSU library in Corvallis and at the Cascades campus in Bend, she joined the DPL staff in spring of 2018, recently transferring to Sunriver. “I’m excited to be in this community,” Kerzel said. “My position includes responsibilities for reference services and programing for adults, teens, and children” (her all-time favorite children’s book: “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom”). “Already, I’ve expanded programming for all ages – kids, teens and adults. On May 4, we’re hosting a book tasting for 6-10 year olds,” she said. “Community members can also schedule a Book-a-Librarian appointment for one-on-one assistance with a librarian” – from research on any topic, to career and social media assistance. She holds an “open computer lab” every third Tuesday from 3 to 5 p.m. at the library. “Bring your technical questions,” she said, reminding people to also bring their smart phone, laptop or tablet that they regularly use.

Presentation to feature landscape photography; Deschutes River stamp Did you know that Sunriver’s stretch of the Deschutes River is included among the less than 1 percent of U.S. rivers protected as part of the National Wild and Scenic River Act rivers system? These protected rivers are being honored this year by the U.S. Postal Service through a sheet of 12 postage stamps that includes a stamp for the Deschutes River. Bureau of Land Management photographer Bob Wick took several photos depicted on the stamps, which includes Steelhead Falls on the Deschutes River. Owners are invited to a presentation by Wick being held in Pringle Hall at SHARC at 7 p.m. on May 20. This free presentation will highlight the stamp and other western landscapes Wick has photographed and fall under the BLM’s stewardship within central Oregon and beyond. Wick will describe these areas and talk about how
the photographs were planned and taken. He will also provide tips for attendees to improve their own photography skills and be available for informal discussions on equipment and techniques. This event is presented by the Owners Enrichment Committee. Bend was also selected as the official location for the national first day of release ceremony for the stamp series. River enthusiasts, stamp collectors and public officials will gather at Tumalo State Park on May 21 at 11 a.m. for the official release ceremony which is open to the public. The National Wild and Scenic Rivers System was created by Congress in 1968 (Public Law 90-542; 16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.) to preserve certain rivers with outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values in a free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations.
Tern
$260 “modern and minimal” version offered by posh milliner Helen Kaminski. The original hatbox, which is also prized by collectors, is included with the bonnet, along with a foam headpiece for retaining hat shape. Coralie is the French word for coral, and is a term that has been used by numerous hat manufacturers, although a recent search on Google failed to reveal who was first to put it on a label. Coralie style generally refers to a close-fitting bonnet, which design-wise, is closely related to what the French call a “Cloche.” More recently the name has also been associated with award winning jewelry designer Coralie de Seynes and clothing luminary Coralie Marabelle. The name has also gained some prominence in the literary world with the 2015 publishing of
the romance novel, “The Milliner’s Secret.” The plot revolves around a woman named Cora Masson who flees to Paris before World War II and reinvents herself as Coralie de Lirac, hat creator extraordinaire. Much earlier, in 1904, London was agog about the theater farce, “The Little French Milliner.” With still another Coralie – this one involved with both a clothing store and a tea shop. According to archeologists, women have worn hats since the Stone Age, but it was during the Renaissance that they first became prominent as fashion statements. One recent study claimed global hat sales would reach seven billion dollars in 2018, and a significant portion would be to women. One research authority predicted that in the U.S. alone, 503,320 hats and caps would be sold. “This is just another example

of the unique items that continue to show up in our store,” said volunteer coordinator Susan Ertsgaard. “Every week there’s bound to be something different on our apparel racks and shelves. That’s why it pays to stop in often.” The Second Tern is located on Spring River Road. Winter hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Friday and Saturday.

Call for pétanque players What is pétanque, you ask? Pétanque is a popular French outdoor game similar to bocce ball, horseshoes and lawn bowling. For those of you who have watched or played the game, you know that it is a very social game, ideal for warm summer days in Sunriver. The game is easy to learn and does not require particular physical abilities, yet it can be played at a level as competitive or noncompetitive as desired. The first step is to learn how
many people are interested in learning and playing. If you are, send an email to Gary Bigham at srpetanque@gmail.com Extra pétanque balls are available so there is no need to buy any in order to try the game out. The time and location for play will be determined based on the number of those interested. There is no special equipment required, other than pétanque balls, except maybe a hat and sunscreen.

Public invited to Resort artists reception on May 25 By Billye Turner Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery exhibits paintings by Jean Requa Lubin, Vivian Olsen and Barbara Slater continuing through June 23. The public is invited to a complimentary reception for the artists on Saturday, May 25 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Skilled painter Jean Requa Lubin, one of May’s featured artist, asks, “What does a successful, fully-realized painting need to capture the viewer’s imagination and emotion?” A frequent award winner for her art, Lubin successfully learned the answer. She notes the receipt of her most prestigious “First
Place – The Campbell Award Equine Art 2018,” for “Striking Gold,” oil, (a rendering of “Awesome Gem” winning the Hollywood Gold Cup), shown at “Equine Art 2018,” Emerald Downs Racetrack in Auburn, Washington. Another first place award for “Two Sleepy Horses,” oil, (currently on display at Sunriver Resort Lodge art gallery) came via “Art at the Draft Horse Classic” in Grass Valley, California. Additional equine competitions showed her artwork including the “American Academy of Equine Art Invitational Show” in Georgetown, Kentucky, and “Cattlemen's

Sunriver Brewing hosting Green Drinks event A Green Drinks event is coming to the Sunriver area on Thursday, May 9 at 5 p.m. Sunriver Brewing Company is hosting the Environmental Center event at their production facility to give us a glimpse of the craft brew action. Come see how this family-owned brewery is working to embed principles of sustainability – within their operations and in their three pubs – through mindful actions like eliminating plastic straws, replacing single-use to-go bags with reusable bags, setting up a compost system, and organizing river clean-ups in the local community. Sunriver Brewing’s sustainability manager will provide a tour of the production
Harper Bridge
that can access or exit the river at this location. The project will include a loading zone, and an information kiosk will direct the public to other river access and areas. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office will assist in monitoring illegal parking and general public safety. Addressing congestion, parking and pedestrian safety at Harper Bridge is a complex issue that involves multiple partners and has taken several years to accomplish. Although the county plans to continue to evaluate other long-term options, the commissioners feel that improving parking at the site before the busy summer season begins will help to make things safer in the interim. –Source: Deschutes County

Fishing the Crooked River topic of anglers club talk By Tim Mertins The Sunriver Anglers Club will be hosting John Olschewsky – who will cover all that you need to know about “Fishing the Crooked River” at the club’s monthly meeting at SHARC on Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. Olschewsky visited Sunriver for many years early in his career and always looked forward to fishing the rivers in the area including the Crooked and Fall rivers. The more familiar he became with the Central Or-
egon area the more he realized this was a great area to explore and fish. Olschewsky moved to the area in 2011 and started working with Fred Foisset at The Hook Fly Shop – guiding as well as working in the shop. Two years later Olschewsky became a co-owner of the shop and has been on the go ever since. Olschewsky is generally the friendly voice that you hear if you call The Hook Fly Shop. He has a wealth of knowledge

about all aspects of fly fishing and will be more than happy to share this knowledge with all the customers he comes in contact with. Olschewsky not only runs the shop but he also enjoys guiding novices and seasoned pros, groups and families on the various Central Oregon rivers.
Olschewsky is a passionate fly tyer and has a deep appreciation of the history of flyfishing and fly tying. 2016 was a banner year for Olschewsky when he was named Fly Tyer of the Year by the Oregon Council of the Federation of Fly Fishers. The Hook Fly Shop is a full-service shop offering high quality equipment for all your needs as well as guided fishing opportunities to many of the more than 100 lakes and 450 miles of rivers – all within an hour of Sunriver. Don’t miss this opportunity to pick Olschewsky’s brain and have all of your questions answered and learn how to improve your fly fishing skills on the Crooked River. Give Olschewsky a call at The
Sunriver Anglers announces new scholarship opportunity The Sunriver Anglers, with the support of Pam Beezley, is announcing the creation of the Beezley Family Scholarship, in honor of Dave Beezley. One $1,000, or two $500 scholarships will be awarded to graduating seniors or college students who attended South Deschutes County schools, including Three Rivers School or the La Pine Schools. The scholarships will support deserving students pursuing, or who intend to pursue, a degree in a natural resources area. Applications will be available through June 15 on the Sunriver Anglers website, www. sunriveranglers.org. All applications will be reviewed and approved by the Sunriver Anglers Board of Directors. Funds will dispersed to the selected student or students after the Sunriver Anglers receive proof of college admission and enrollment. Preference will be given to students attending either Central Oregon Community College or Oregon State University
Cascades, but the scholarship is not limited to students attending those institutions. The Beezley Family Scholarship will be awarded in honor of Dave Beezley, an avid fly fisherman who particularly loved Steelhead fishing. Even in cold winter weather – fishing with ice on the line and wool socks in the boots. It all started on the McKenzie River with his dad and granddad when he was a little guy visiting family in Eugene every summer. Over the years, he discovered all the good spots on the Deschutes, Metolius and McKenzie and he made frequent fishing trips to Montana, Idaho, the Olympic Peninsula and throughout Oregon. Dave enjoyed the beauty of the rivers, the peaceful silence of the running waters, the strategy of the sport, and the exhilaration of catching a Steelhead or trout. Dave and his wife Pam traveled to New Zealand, Chile, Argentina and Belize to fish. They were members at the Redsides Lodge on the Deschutes
Hook Fly Shop/Cascade Guides & Outfitters at 541-593-2358. You can also find more information about Olschewsky and The Hook Fly Shop website at www. hookfish.com The Sunriver Anglers Club invites everyone, members and non-members, to attend this presentation. The program starts at 7 p.m. Many club members start arriving at 6:45 to buy raffle tickets and share fish stories. Remember the Sunriver Anglers Club is involved in conservation and education as well as angling. If you would like more information or would like to join and become involved, please check our website at www.sunriveranglers.org and spent memorable trips there with family and friends enjoying this beautiful secluded stretch of river. They bought into a fishing lodge in Fort Klamath and fished the Wood River and the Williamson River. Dave passed away on June 15, 2016. The Beezley family is funding this scholarship to honor Dave, and his passion for the outdoors, and to support a student or students who will be pursuing a career in a natural resources area so that future generations may enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, and experience the thrill of the take of a steelhead, or Redband rainbow trout. For more information about the Beezley Family Scholarship, visit the Sunriver Anglers’ website at www.sun riveranglers.org. Scholarship application deadline is June 15. Applicants will be notified by June 30. Scholarship funds will be dispersed after the Sunriver Anglers receive proof of college admission and class enrollment.

often painted by the artist. The family later became “West Point Thoroughbred Syndicate” owners of a thoroughbred race horse ridden by noted jockey Victor Espinosa at California tracks including Del Mar and Santa Anita. Thus, the artist (with her family) lovingly devoted years to horses which significantly influenced her life-long pursuit of art. Inspired by this background in equestrian sport and competition, and a recognized artist, Lubin especially now enjoys painting, with brilliant oil paint, the “action and color of polo and rodeo; I try to portray the relationship of the horse and rider – are they partners in competition or physically trying to get the better of one
another in the rodeo arena?” “I am delighted to find that Bend also hosts the nationallyrecognized “High Desert Classics Hunter Jumper Shows” in late July. I’ve reserved an artist booth at the Bend City Opener Horse Show this Memorial Day weekend,” said Lubin Vivian Olsen, presenting oil and pastel paintings of birds, and Barbara Slater, presenting acrylic paintings of animals and birds, join Lubin in this exhibition that runs through June 23. Sunriver Resort invites the public to the exhibition, open all hours and to the May 25 reception, in the upper gallery, honoring the artists.

Stars announces spring play ‘The Butler Did It’ By Fred Sackett “The Butler Did It,” written by Todd Wallinger, is a comedy murder mystery set in the 1930s at Bournsley Manor in England. As new director Sharon Sackett describes it: “This play is about a family of aristocracy that is planning a dinner party for a famous English mystery writer, Edwina Correy (Lynette Confer) who has just written a highly successful mystery. Col. Nigel Covington (Dave Johnson), ‘sickly’ wife Lady Miranda Covington (Sara Kreps) and ‘prickly’ daughter Katherine (Kellie Timson) live in the manor house along with Jenkins (Gary Sosinski) the ‘very proper’ butler, and Sarah Jane (Iva Lent) the cockney maid. Trevor Barstow(Ben Ives) a neighbor, lives next door and has ‘eyes’ for Katherine. Father Timothy (Dan Pegram) is the friendly and somewhat ‘slow’ vicar. The last person in the house is the ‘pleasantly demented’
Gram (Susan Evans Inman), the mother of Lady Miranda.” Sackett goes on to explain that when one of the parties gets murdered in the kitchen with a knife (shades of the game Clue), mystery writer Edwina Correy is determined to solve the murder herself. The play employs “tongue-in-cheek” humor that is sometimes very subtle, which requires the actors to portray their character to its full potential. “We are so very excited to introduce four new actors to our SSCT stage,” said Sackett. This show will be the last show in the 2018-19 SSCT season. Come see if the butler really did it. Food and beverages will be available for purchase before the show, at intermission, and after the show. Dates of performance are June 7, 8, 14 at 7 p.m. and June 15 at 2 p.m. All performances will be at The Door (in the Sunriver Business Park at 56885 Enter-

Stuart Young, CASA’s board president and local Sunriver resident, noted that CASA of Central Oregon is serving a higher percentage of children in foster care than almost any other program in the state, in part due to the generosity and community support of organizations like the Sunriver Women’s Club. He further stressed that with this award CASA will focus on pairing every child in foster care in south Deschutes County with a CASA advocate. Jenna App, CASA’s executive director, noted that south

also hosts a monthly book club which samples a variety of genres. Do you know how much money you can save by borrowing books and DVDs from the library instead of buying them? Kerzel spearheaded a system effort with DPL Technical Services Manager Emily O’Neal to add “you just saved” to the checkout receipts. “Many patrons save thousands of dollars using their library,” she said. “I also want to point out that our system has become a ‘fine-free’ zone. It’s a trend in public libraries which really do want their books back – but don’t want overdue fines to be a burden or barrier for individuals and families.” Staff at the Sunriver Library include Library Services Supervisor Heidi Powers, who celebrates 20 years with the Sunriver Library this summer, and public services specialists Shawna Dailey, Shodie Akin and Adam Cash. For several years, La Pine librarian Roxanne Renteria provided about eight hours a week reference and programming support to the Sunriver library. “This is my home library,” Kerzel said. “I am here a minimum of three days a week (typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday). The other days of my full time position provide additional coverage at Sunriver when needed and for the other libraries in the system, as well as meetings.” Kerzel is an expert at handling your questions and finding the information you need. And now she has a question for you. “What do you wish you could do in the library that you don’t see or experience now?” Kerzel asks. “I’d really love to hear what you have to say.” You can visit with her in the Sunriver library or email her at SamiK@deschutes library.org SUNRIVER SCENE • MAY 2019

All instruments and voices are invited to drop in for this lively, casual, jam session. Next gatherings are scheduled for May 6 and 20, June 3 and 17 at 6 p.m. Facilitated by local musician Jeff Woodruff – one of the originators of the hugely successful Bend Ukulele group – HICUPS brings an opportunity for south county residents from Sunriver, La Pine, Spring

The greater Sunriver area has a mix of year-rounders and part-timers, young and vintage, who have been gathering twice monthly for about a year now to jam on guitar, or harmonica, piano, fiddle, washtub bass, accordion and, of course, ukuleles. There is no cost to drop in and all skill levels (including complete beginners) welcome. Many of the elements that Woodruff has successfully implemented in jam sessions prior
to HICUPs include projecting lyrics and chords on a screen, making the songs available in electronic format, inviting everybody to come, sing and smile. For HICUPs jam, the first hour is gospel music, the T HICUPS,

COTA launches new south Deschutes County chapter The expanding opportunities for mountain biking in South Deschutes County will now receive the support of a new chapter of the Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA). Bringing together mountain bike enthusiasts from the La Pine, Sunriver, and the Three Rivers south communities, the new south Deschutes County Chapter will work locally to implement COTA’s mission to develop, protect and enhance the mountain biking experience in Central Oregon. This month’s meeting of the new chapter will be at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 28 at the Sunriver Area Public Library, located in the Sunriver Business Park. “We welcome the new south Deschutes County Chapter to the COTA family,” said Bruce Schroeder, chair of COTA board of directors. “This chapter will bring together an energized group of mountain bikers, businesses and organizations in south county who are passionate about the sport
and dedicated to trail stewardship.” COTA is a nonprofit, volunteer organization that has built a national reputation for working successfully with the US Forest Service and other land managers to build and maintain mountain biking trails. The new chapter joins other COTA chapters in Bend, Crook County, Madras, Redmond and Sisters. The south county chapter will immediately turn its attention to the Sunriver Trails project, a recently approved network of trails just west of Sunriver. The 10 miles of new trails, accessible from Sunriver over Cardinal Bridge and from Forest Road 41, will connect to the Wanoga and Cascade Lakes Welcome Station trail networks. The project also involves restoring and preserving nearby elk habitat. While much of the new Sunriver trails will be machine built, the south county chapter will help provide volunteer work crews for the large

amount of hand finishing work that will be required. The chapter will also assist in raising funds for trail construction and maintenance. Another high priority project for the south Deschutes County Chapter will be the re-route of the Black Rock Trail to a safer crossing point over Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. The four-mile Black Rock Trail connects the Benham Falls Trailhead with Lava Lands Visitor Center. The south county Chapter will also provide volunteer maintenance support to other local mountain biking trails, as well the development of new trails in the area. The chapter will work with public lands agencies, such as the U.S. Forest Service and the City of La Pine, to identify and support new mountain biking opportunities. In addition, the chapter will provide educational opportunities to the local mountain bike community, including training in trail construction and maintenance, and promoting appropriate mountain biking etiquette.

Works of ceramist, photographer on display at the library The Sunriver Area Public Library welcomes two new artists – one a ceramist and the other a photographer – on display through June. Ceramist Dori Kite is a Bend native who was introduced to ceramics as part of the art class at Bend High School in 1969. Having always loved making any kind of art, she had found her perfect medium. She worked in ceramics through college and a degree in art from Eastern Oregon (never wanted to live in a city) and then was sidetracked with other interests for 30 years. When Kite’s son graduated high school, she got back on track with art. “Clay, glazes and firing techniques became much more varied during my hiatus and I was able to set up a home studio for firing my work,” she said. Kite makes both decorative and functional ceramics and enjoys both wheel throwing and hand building techniques. She chooses the forming method that works best for the project at hand. Decoration can be as simple as dipping pieces in glaze buckets, but often includes slip trailing, painting wax resist and/ or glaze dribbling/dripping and pouring, as well as speckling through an atomizer. Her goal is to enjoy the process, keep

it fresh and share with others. “My inspiration is life. There is nothing completely original, but new combinations of things seen and heard in both nature and humanity,” she said. Joining Kite on exhibit is photographer Carolyn B. Waissman who notes that “photography melds my love of nature and art.” As a longtime local wildlife naturalist and interpreter, Waissman loves being outside year round and finds that Central Oregon offers a feast for the photographer. “I always have my camera handy to take advantage of all the great photographic opportunities,” she said. Adventure travel to Europe and Africa, as well as around North America, also provide subjects for exciting new projects. Waissman’s “Wildlife Portraits” and “Pet Portraits” are close-up intimate photographs that show the essence and atT W,

Youth Free Fish Day By Tim Mertins Lake Obsidian in Caldera Springs will once again be the site for the Youth Free Fish Day to be held on Saturday, June 1 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Any youth, age 14 and under, is welcome to participate in this year’s event. Youngsters have a good chance to catch their two fish limit because the lake has been stocked with several hundred rainbow and brook trout. The fish range in size from 10 to 12 inches along with some trophy fish for added excitement. Participants are encouraged to bring their own fishing gear, however, don’t let this stop you from joining in the excitement. The Sunriver Anglers Club will have a few rods and reels to loan to those who do not have any gear. Club members will also be available to assist those young anglers that need some help. Participant parents will be required to register and sign a liability waiver form prior to any youth fishing. This event is always well attended and is a joint effort of a number of community organizations and volunteers. The owners of the Caldera Springs provide access to Lake Obsidian and Sunriver Anglers Club members serve as volunteers and mentors. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) provide the trout as well as the hooks and bait. The U.S. Forest Service (Deschutes National Forest) provide the educational resources, materials and several volunteers. Last but not least, Sunriver Resort has provided the tables and chairs, power supplies and a free hot dog lunch for the entire family from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Throughout the morning, young anglers and their families

will have the opportunity to participate in a number of educational opportunities including fish paint printing, tattooing (non-permanent, of course), casting instruction, viewing live fish displays, storytelling in a huge “salmon tent” and visiting with the famous “Talking Trout.” To reach Lake Obsidian, visitors entering Caldera Springs should proceed to the first stop sign, turn left on Dancing Rock Loop, then follow the signs to the designated registration area. Please note: This is a private lake on private property and open to the public only on Free Fish Day. Volunteers are always welcome to assist on this fun day when a young angler might just find a lifetime of enjoyment of fishing and enjoying the great outdoors. If you are interested in helping, please contact Jim Adams at 541-390-3353 or John Eckholt at 253-720-2229. Remember, being a member of the Sunriver Anglers Club is not a requirement to volunteer.

Sunriver Anglers to host Project Healing The Sunriver Anglers will host three veterans from Martinez, California and three veterans from Bend for the Project Healing Waters sponsored event June 10-14. This five-day, Central Oregon outing will include three days of flyfishing in this spectacular high desert region. The veterans will be staying at homes within Sunriver donated by selfless community members. They will fish three different prime Oregon waters – the Crooked River, Upper
Deschutes River and East Lake. The Sunriver Anglers will host a hot lunch at each location each day. On June 11, Jeff Nakai has volunteered to be head chef, and could use a volunteer or two to assist him at the Crooked River venue. We need a volunteer to step up for head chef duties at the Upper Deschutes on June 12. On June 13, we will be at East Lake in conjunction with the Sunriver Anglers outing, and Mike and Rynie
Quan will be serving their usual wonderful lunch this day. If you’d like to volunteer to help out, please contact Phil Fischer at phi lfischer@sbcglobal.net Catch Magazine has graciously agreed to feature this event in a special Veterans Day article to be published later in 2019. It is an excellent opportunity for some good publicity for the Sunriver Anglers. So we hope you’ll give us a hand in helping out this very worthy fly fishing cause.

“We live in a world where ‘normal’ does not truly exist except as an idea or concept,” said Young. “For each of us, where and how we grew up plays a foundational role in our sense of ‘normal,’ and only when we begin to experience the bigness and diversity of the world are we tempted to evaluate our roots. I thought the way I grew up was normal, but I think most would probably agree that my history and journey have been a bit unusual.” Watch for more reminders about this exciting opportunity. Sunriver Christian Fellowship/Holy Trinity Catholic Church is located on Cottonwood Road across from the Marketplace and Shell Station in north Sunriver. If you would like more information, please call the church at 541-593-1183.

ture. “Both Chief Darling and I are committed to the safety of our residents and the transient population that enjoy Sunriver,” said Moor. “The new notification system being implemented will provide an additional alerting system should an evacuation ever be required in Sunriver.” Chief Darling spoke about the current siren system for emergency alerts. The sirens are strategically located around Sunriver. The siren system has not been used in several years, however, it is still functional and could prove to be useful as an additional notification system. SROA has conducted site testing of the sirens and have confirmed they are still a viable communication tool in the event of an emergency. In the past, a voice would come over the system but this proved to be hard to hear and confusing. The siren will only broadcast high-low tones in event of
an imminent threat and the need to evacuate. The use of the siren should alert you to check for further information, and prepare for possible evacuation, on the new Sunriver emergency website at www. sunriveremergencyinfo.com. This site is also filled with information on pre-planning for any emergency and other ways to stay informed. Chief Darling also pointed out that Sunriver has not had an evacuation in its history. “We are fortunate in that we have not had the need to evacuate. That does not mean we can become complacent. Each resident of Sunriver needs to develop a plan. This plan includes on-going education and monitoring conditions during the Central Oregon fire season,” said Darling. “Signing up to receive notifications in the event of an emergency; developing a communication plan with family members; having a plan to care for pets, putting together a “go bag” and knowing your avenues for
evacuation.” Information was provided on how to plan, communicate and prepare a “go bag” in preparation for an evacuation. They would like to emphasize that now is the time to prepare your go bag in advance of an evacuation. Further information about preparing a go bag can be obtained by visiting the Sunriver Police Department website at www.sunriverpd.org or www. sunriveremergencyinfo.com/ preparedness-kit Brochures were also provided about the various ways Citizens Patrol supports Sunriver, and that it is currently recruiting new members. Candidates should be Sunriver property owners and available for service a few hours each month. Call the police department at 541-593-1014 for further information.

Preschool to open in business park A new preschool is set to open in the Sunriver area this summer. Sunriver Preschool is being created by Peggy and Wayne Lowry, and is scheduled to open in July in the Sunriver Business Park at 56890 Venture Lane (the former Sunriver Pharmacy building). The preschool will have five classrooms. Infants and toddlers will be located on the first floor, with the 3 and 4 year olds on the second floor. Post-renovation, the facility is also expected to have an attached deck/play area for the younger children, and an outdoor play area for the older children. The core values of Sunriver Preschool include excellence,
quality care and creativity. These values can be seen in everything from the building itself to the staff and curriculum. “Everything pertaining to the preschool is being selected with the desire and intent to provide the highest quality of care and education possible,” said Peggy Lowry. Sunriver Preschool is slated to operate Monday through Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Lunches for students will be supplied by parents, snacks will be provided by the preschool.

Author events at Sunriver Books & Music By Deon Stonehouse • Saturday, May 4 at 5 p.m. Sean Davis presents “Oregon Wildland Firefighting.” As Sunriver is surrounded by forest, paying attention to the risk of fire behooves us. Davis knows quite a bit about fire, he spends summers fighting fires. The rest of the year he teaches college classes in writing and literature. Fire season has sent deadly fires rampaging across the west. The 2017 Chetco Bar fire consumed 191,000 acres along Oregon and California’s western border. The High Cascades Complex Fire in 2011 burned 108,000 on the Warm Springs Reservation. In 2006, the South End Complex fire burned 117,000 acres in the Steens Mountain area. The Toolbox Complex fire burned 120,000 acres near Silver Lake and the Biscuit Fire consumed a half million acres in southern Oregon and Northern California in 2002. Davis describes what it is like to be surrounded by a wildfire. “Then, there is a wall of flame in front of you, and it is 50 feet tall. No – not a wall of flame, because a wall is static. The fire thrashes, roars and consumes everything in its path. It surrounds you on both sides. Now you struggle for breath. Greedy and unbelievably
big, the fire steals the air from your lungs. You back away because the heat is unbearable, but now it circles your patch of dirt, and there’s nowhere to go to make it stop.” Firefighters die fighting wildland fires. It’s tragic to lose such brave men. Because we live so close to forest, the preferred fuel for fires, it is smart to be aware of the ways to avoid fire. “Oregon Wildland Firefighting” delves into the causes of wildland fires, 90 percent of which are caused by humans. The Columbia River Gorge used to be one of the most gorgeous scenic areas in the U.S., until a teenager played with firecrackers. • Saturday, May 11 at 5 p.m. Dana Haynes presents, “St. Nicholas Salvage & Wrecking,” his latest rip roaring thriller. Michael Patrick Finnigan and Katalin Fiero Dahar have the ultimate meet cute with a dangerous twist. At the time Finnigan was a U.S. Marshall and Fiero was a Spanish assassin, both in the Ukraine for a joint operation between governments in an attempt to catch a notorious drug runner. Finnigan, a by the rules sort of guy, and Fiero, definitely not a by the rules sort of gal, had different takes on what would be a successful

outcome for the endeavor and wounds ensued. Six months later they both still wanted to fight the good fight against the bad guys but were disillusioned with their government jobs. Recognizing their respective talents, they decided to freelance. Much of their work came through the International Criminal Court, on the Q.T. This time they are after human traffickers, well connected and deadly. The story

gallops through the pages, has lots of action, a deadly hot babe, and a guy willing to put it all on the line, for justice. It’s fun to read and it is easy to cheer for Fiero and Finnegan. • On Saturday May 18, William Sullivan will give a slide show presentation at 5 p.m. featuring an updated version five of his popular guide, “100 Hikes In The Central Oregon Cascades.” Among the new hikes are trails along the Deschutes River north of Bend, a bird refuge in Salem, and trails along the Cascades with an abundance of wildflowers. Sullivan will feature a dozen new or altered hikes. He will also update the audience on the Forest Service’s new permit system and talk about wildfires. Sullivan knows hiking and his slide shows are always full of spectacular scenery that will make you want to lace up your hiking boots and boogie on down the trail. Sullivan has hiked every ma-
jor trail in the state of Oregon so his guides highlight the best our beautiful state has to offer. “Oregon Favorites: Trails and Tales” highlights his favorite trails across the state by month. It helps keep you hiking throughout the year. For a good experience on the trail, pick up one of his guides: “100 Hikes in Southern Oregon,” “100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington,” “100 Hikes Travel Guide: Oregon Coast and Coast Range” and “Hiking Oregon’s History.” Sullivan also writes many other interesting books including memoirs, books on Oregon, mystery and fiction. His latest fiction, “The Ship in the Sand” is an entertaining story replete with great historic detail. There will be refreshments served and drawings for prizes.

Book Club presents mystery, fiction reads Book Clubs are a great way to meet an interesting group of people who enjoy reading good books. Book Clubs meet Mondays at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome. • May 13 the Mystery Book Club discusses “The Woman in the Window” by A.J. Finn. Spellbinding! Hitchcock would have wished he had written it and would be clamoring to film it. Agnes was a respected child psychologist with a loving husband and vibrant 8-year-old daughter until something happened. What happened? Well you will have to wait several devious chapters to find out. Now her family is elsewhere and she is housebound, in an elegant Harlem brownstone, felled by agoraphobia. She cannot even go to the grocery store, enjoy her garden, or meander to the corner coffee shop. Although she knows better, Agnes drinks excessive quantities of wine, mixing it with her medication. You might wonder why a woman who is a trained psychologist would mix her drugs in such a dangerous fashion. Be patient, you will find out. Her home backs onto a park, Agnes spends much of her time watching her neighbors and indulging her interest in photography. The
rest of Agnes’ time is devoted to watching classic films, such as “Rear Window” directed by Alfred Hitchcock. She has an extensive collection and the films are salted throughout the story. Film buffs will love it. The arrival of a new neighbor is a highlight in her day, someone new to observe. When she sees something she shouldn’t reality and imagination blur. What is real, what isn’t? Will anyone believe her if it is? This splendid mystery keeps the tension high with wicked twists at every turn. • May 20 the Fiction Book Club discusses “Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah. This New York Times bestselling epic is soon to be a movie. Set during World War II, the story tells of two French sisters with heartbreaking choices.
Vianne’s husband is fighting at the front, she clings to the belief Hitler will not invade France, nor come to her little village but, of course, it happens. She lives on La Jardin, a lovely small farm in the Loire Valley with her young daughter, Sophie. Isabelle, Vianne’s headstrong, independent minded younger sister is sent from Paris to La Jardin to live with her. Forced to house a German officer in the home, the war becomes increasingly present. Isabelle’s attitude and brave activities with the resistance bring danger ever closer to the women and child sharing their home with a Nazi.

Sunriver Music Festival’s principal flutist creates 2019 poster So, what do you do when you are not playing world-class music with the Sunriver Music Festival? You take a break and create a memorable poster for the festival’s 42nd season, which runs from Saturday, Aug. 10 through Thursday, Aug. 22 in Sunriver and Bend.
Sunriver Music Festival posters are available for $12. Framed posters are $65. Notecards are $12 for a pack of 10 and available at the Sunriver Music Festival. Each year, the Festival selects an artist to create the artwork for the annual festival poster. Artists were invited to submit
This year’s stunning artwork comes from the talents of Arizona visual artist and musician Alexander Lipay. Lipay is wellknown for his large-canvas expressionist paintings in oil and acrylic, favoring heavy brush strokes and thickly textured paint. He is also an accomAlexander Lipay

In addition to being the principal flutist of the Sunriver Music Festival, he also performs with the Tucson Symphony, Tucson Pops, True Concord Voices and Orchestra and St. Andrew’s Bach Society Chamber Orchestra. Lipay lives in Tucson and is a Grammy Award winner and Guinness World Record holder. Beautifully framed by Eastlake Framing, the painting is now on display at the Sunriver Music Festival office in building 13 in The Village at Sunriver. The painting will be a featured auction item at the Festival’s annual fundraiser, Festival Faire, on Sunday, July 21 at the Sunriver Resort Great Hall.

Shred event coming in June On Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., the Sunriver Police Department will sponsor their seventh annual shredding and prescription medication drop-off event. The event will be held in the front parking lot of the Sunriver Police Department at 57455 Abbot Drive (between Circles 3 & 4). SecureShred is a division of Bend Garbage & Recycling. This event is intended for shredding personal residential documents and prescription only drug disposal, not for business or
company disposal. No advance document sorting is necessary as shredding equipment can destroy paperwork with paper clips and staples attached. File folders may also be shredded. Please black out or remove the labels from prescription bottles that contain medication before bringing them to the event. This event is free to the public but we ask that you consider bringing a donation of non-perishable food to benefit a local nonprofit organization.

TRAFFIC CIRCLE
Etiquette Following a few, simple rules will enhance everyone’s Sunriver driving experience
• Drivers INSIDE the circle have the right-of-way over any vehicle attempting to enter a circle. Traffic always circulates counter-clockwise. •
When there is no traffic or a safe gap, drivers entering a circle do not have to stop but should always slow down enough to safely stop if necessary.
•
Circles are not like four-way stops. You do not get a turn to go. You may only enter the roundabout when there is a safe gap in traffic flow.
•
Always signal when exiting a circle.
•
Avoid stopping inside a circle or backing up – even if you miss your exit. Simply drive around the circle again until you reach your desired exit road.
•
The recommended speed limit in Sunriver’s circles is about 15 mph. In icy conditions, go slow enough to be able to stop safely at yield points and to control your vehicle through the circle’s curves.

In memoriam Katherine Sue Sherman passed away on April 6th following a lengthy battle against breast cancer. At her passing she was surrounded by those who loved her most, at her winter home, in Queen Creek, Arizona. Born in Johnson City, New York on August 15, 1958, she spent her childhood in Essex Junction, Vermont with her parents, Mary and Richard Stark, and brothers; Mike, Rob and Tim. They enjoyed riding snowmobiles and spending family time at their camp at Holland Pond. After graduating from Essex Junction High Katherine went west to attend college at Arizona State University where she met her future husband, Bob. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree and graduated Katherine Sue Sherman with honors. Katherine and Bob lived in Arizona August 15, 1958 – April 6, 2019 and later in Salem, Oregon, where they would raise two wonderful children; Ben, a policy analyst for the State of Oregon, and Erin, a software developer for Arizona State University. Katherine spent much of her career in project management, a profession she very much enjoyed and excelled at with the State of Oregon and Cognizant Consulting. Katherine’s favorite flower was the sunflower, known for being the “happy” flower which is exactly what she was. She was a devoted and cheerful wife, loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend to many. She was also an attentive dog mom to her labradoodle, Elmo, a “candy crusher” and an avid quilter, though her kids often referred to her as a professional fabric collector. In her free time, Katherine also enjoyed gardening and watching her kids play soccer, softball and baseball. She loved to cook big family meals that brought everyone together around the table. Katherine had many accomplishments, but was so much more than the sum of those accomplishments. She was selfless, compassionate and a truly inspiring wife and mother. She was someone to be remembered as a genuinely good person with a warm heart and an unrelenting spirit that cherished every day she had on this earth. These are qualities Katherine instilled in her children who will always carry her with them. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but even more so by those who were with her at the end of her journey, including her husband, children, mother, brothers, her sister-in-law, Ester, daughter-in-law, Courtney and of course her grandson, Lou, the apple of her eye. The family asks that charitable donations be made in Katherine’s name to the American Cancer Society

Sunriver Fire & Rescue utilized the community’s love of pickleball to raise money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
Safety is what it’s all about; firefighters raise funds By Jim Bennett Nearly every day we see examples of heroism, whether it be a local, state or national disaster. There is a story about the heroic act of a community member, a child, an emergency responder,
soldier or countless others. They are the stories of people putting others before themselves. These heroic acts require extreme bravery, which reminds me of the 2017 movie “Only the Brave” starring Josh Brolin,
Miles Teller and others. The movie recounts the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots battling the Yarnell Hill Fire. It follows the great bravery of these heroes as they battle an out-ofcontrol fire tearing through an

Arizona forest. Sadly, in the end, all but one of them perishes, overcome by an intense burnover of the fire. As your fire department, we have a responsibility to ensure that we do everything reasonable to protect your firefighters to make sure that when responding to fires as large as the Yarnell Fire or even the quarter acre fire in the high desert, we equip, prepare and train them to keep them safe. Every year, all firefighters are put through training to do just that; help ensure that even under the direst of situations in wildland fires, we are prepared to survive. A key part of that training is the use of a fire shelter. The shelter became mandatory by the U.S. Forest Service in 1977 and has evolved into a well-designed two-layer barrier between fire and firefighter. Carried by every firefighter at the scene of a wildland fire, the shelter can be the difference between life and death. The use of the shelter is truly the last and most desperate attempt of survival in a situation where escape is impossible or riskier than deploying the
shelter. The deployment of the shelter under ideal circumstances, is amazingly fast, as the firefighter may only have seconds between them and the oncoming heat and flame. The firefighter quickly clears a space on the ground of vegetation, opens the shelter, steps inside and pulls it over them as they lie flat on the ground. Remaining in the shelter may be minutes to well over an hour – depending on the rate at which the fire passes and the surrounding fuels burn. A minute in the roar of the fire can seem like an eternity. It may sound reasonably easy, but imagine the stressors of the approaching wall of fire, and with fire comes wind; pulling, tugging and ripping at the shelter. Meanwhile the firefighter has their face close to the ground attempting to breath as much “cooler” air as possible while being sure that the shelter is sealed all the way around to the ground. These shelters are not a guarantee of survival, but provide a chance at surviving a disastrous T F

situation. They have saved hundreds of lives, but some, such as in the Yarnell Fire, have been lost – even with the deployment of the shelter. As the high desert fire season approaches, your department is training and preparing for our yearly mission of professional responsiveness to whatever incident may occur, while keeping your first-responders safe. Pickleball event raises money Thank you to everyone who participated and volunteered with the first-ever Sunriver Stair-climb Pickleball Tournament fundraiser. With your efforts, we were able to raise $1,400 for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, a true philanthropic organization that ensures 100 percent of our fundraising efforts go to where it matters, finding a cure for these types of cancer. The tournament was organized and managed by Lou Bayol and Vera Davidson, who volunteered countless hours to
make it a success. Our sponsors donated time and materials to add to the success of the event: Sunriver Resort, Blondie’s Pizza, Selkirk Sports, Pickleball Zone, Trampoline Zone, Alpine Entertainment, Sunriver Brewery, Team ONIX, Team Selkirk, Team Engage, Team ProLite, Lisa Palcic and Joe Davidson. We are already looking to next year and having an annual tournament. This event is part of a larger fundraising effort called the Seattle Firefighter Stair-climb, which uses fire departments from all over the world to raise money for the cause. Sunriver Fire & Rescue raised more than $17,000 for the cause in 2018/2019, with nearly $3 million raised collectively. This year’s event has ended, but the fire department is already accepting donations for next year. If you are interested in donating to this important cause, which is a tax-deductible donation, please contact the fire department at 541-593-8622. –Jim Bennett is the public information officer for Sunriver Fire & Rescue.
“By the time you get to your ball, if you don't know what to do with it, try another sport.” –Julius Boros, PGA Hall of Famer and two-time major winner
introduced next given that 2019 is a seminal year marking major changes to some of the rules. Buhaly also welcomed five new members who had not been previous members of the club. Willis spoke to the group about the delayed course opening caused by excessive wetness of the courses from record-setting February snowfalls and copious amounts of rain in early April. Willis stressed how well the greens came through the winter due to diligent work by the maintenance crews and the “best superintendents in the Northwest.” Willis was excited to announce brand new electric carts for the Meadows course equipped with GPS locators and USB ports. New rules for 2019 Club treasurer Scott Brown, certified for seven years by the
USGA, gave numerous talks around the state to bring golfers up to date on the 2019 changes to the Official Rules of Golf which have been adopted and approved by worldwide groups including the USGA, the R & A and the Asian Tour among others. A synopsis recommended by Brown may be found online by searching Google: New Golf Rules for 2019/The 20 Most Important Changes. It leads to a nine minute video by Expert Golf. There is also a terrific online application of the 2019 Rules of Golf available for smartphone use that not only updates as rules are expanded or changed, but is also searchable by using keywords such as “lost ball,” “penalty areas,” or “general area.” He stressed that learning the “Golf Definitions” found in the official rules goes a long way to a quicker and deeper understanding of the rules. Brown also explained a local optional rule to playing a provisional ball for a lost ball during official club play that will allow a player to play instead from a position on the fairway (using specific measurement and placement limitations with a mandatory two stroke penalty). The object of the “local rule” is to speed up play and it will be in place for the first four SRMGC events only and will
then be discussed by the board as to its effectiveness and efficacy in determining whether or not to continue its use Brown said that local rules might be found on the SRMGC website along with a new “Code of Conduct” that has been refined to include expectations of proper course decorum and behavior according the “true spirit of the game.” Exciting new season Competition director Frank Schultz noted that there would be 29 “official” SRMGC play dates this season including a proposed away date at Black Butte Ranch during a Resort “blackout” for a Pacific Amateur event that will be hosted at Sunriver in September. In addition to these official play dates there are post-first round match play events, as well as Resort Cup and Sunriver Cup events for those who qualify. Schultz explained the 18-Hole Challenge season-long event, both net and gross, that members can enjoy during which four “challenge” holes are specified each week. Participating players’ 18 best scores for the year on those specific holes are calculated to determine challenge winners for handsome cash prizes, depending on the total number of players each category, net or T G
