This first phase of the project is expected to take several weeks to remove the existing concrete leisure and tot pools, pool decking, mechanical building, grass and fencing and prep the approximately 2.5 acre site for new construction.

New construction includes a leisure/ lap pool, family pool, hot tub, small gathering/barbecue areas, enhanced landscaping that includes grass sunbathing areas, more shade and a mechanical/pump room. At its Sept. 21 monthly meeting, the SROA Board of Directors approved that the board president finalize and execute an agreement with architectural firm Mackenzie to perform the design phase for construction work.

The proposed conceptual design of the new recycling center.
Recycling center proposal going to vote By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene SROA NEWS – Watch your mailboxes this December as the SROA Board of Directors has approved holding a special election for owners to vote yes or no on the proposed construction of a new recycling center. An owner vote is required as SROA will initially foot the not-to-exceed
construction cost out of SROA’s Reserve Fund. The fund was developed and tested by a reserve specialist to include the money required for the recycling project, and showed that SROA will still hit the fully-funded reserve target by year 2031. In addition, thanks to an agreement with Deschutes County, the county will reimburse the construction
cost back to SROA over a five-year lease period. The proposed expanded facility will include multiple bays capable of holding numerous smaller recycling bins for commingled recyclables such as plastic, paper and cardboard products and will be easier to empty, and more frequently, by the carting service – Waste Connections, Inc. A larger, center bay will hold larger containers for glass recycling and will help muffle the sounds of breaking glass when tossed into the bin. Other improvements include fencing, additional parking and improved traffic flow. “We are going to right-size this facility to meet demand, but want to build it to meet our specifications,” said Hugh Palcic, SROA General Manager. “In the end, SROA also owns the building.” There is an official ad announcing the ballot on page 12. The ballot language is as follows: “Pursuant to Sections 7.04 and 7.08 of the Consolidated Plan of Sunriver, I authorize the Sunriver Owners Association to use Reserve Funds for the construction of T R,
Sunriver Stables welcomes new operator Sunriver Resort is excited to introduce the Howell family, from Sunriver, as their new stables operators. The Howells have lived in Sunriver for the last four years, and will operate the Sunriver Stables under Sunriver Trail Rides, LLC. Kristina Howell will be managing Sunriver Trail Rides in partnership with her father, John Howell, as a member of the LLC. They have extensive knowledge of the equestrian industry and currently operate Three Rivers Equestrian Center (TREC) just south of Sunriver. They will execute a seamless transition of the equestrian activities historically offered at the stables, including horseback trail rides, pony rides for young children, basic horsemanship camps for children and winter sleigh rides. “Sunriver Resort would like to thank Jon and Jackie Russell for their years of partnership and we are excited to welcome the Howell family and Sunriver Trail Rides LLC to our community,”
Guided horseback trail rides will continue in Sunriver under a new operator of the stables.
said Tom O’Shea, Sunriver Resort Managing Director. O’Shea said they are also looking to clean up the facility a bit and add picnic/barbecue areas to create a fun, family experience. “We want to keep the quality up and give people a reason to return,” he said. “We’re all about creating memories for families.” The stables are located at 57215 River Road in Sunriver.

Sunriver Owners Association and Owner Enrichment Committee invite Sunriver owners to explore Fort Rock State Park and Fort Rock Cave followed by dinner at the Cowboy Dinner Tree on Thursday, Oct. 24. SROA will provide the round-trip shuttle for participants from SHARC to Fort Rock State Park, Cowboy Dinner Tree and back. Derek Loeb, retired geologist and active member of the Central Oregon Geoscience Society and Archeological Society of Central Oregon, will give a guided tour of Fort Rock State Park and cave. A light lunch will be provided by SROA and served at the park. Participants will have the option of going on the guided tour or checking out the park on their own. Following the tour, the shuttle heads to the Cowboy Dinner Tree near Silver Lake to enjoy a belly-busting feast that includes homemade soup and sweet rolls, salad, baked potato, dessert and your choice between a 26-30 ounce top sirloin or whole roasted chicken (sorry, but no meal splitting/sharing). It’s very likely you will be taking home a doggie bag. All Sunriver owners are welcome to be part of this outback experience. The cost is $55 for owners with 2019 Member Preference Card or $60 without an updated card and includes shuttle, lunch and dinner. Owners may bring one guest for $60. The shuttle leaves SHARC at 11:30 a.m. and expects to return around 7 p.m. Reservations are required and can be made through Member Services at SHARC (8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. daily) or by call-
ing 541-585-3147. Space is limited and RSVP deadline is Monday, Oct. 21. Be sure to note your entrée choice of beef or chicken. Participants should dress for being outdoors and wear suitable shoes for walking on dirt and possibly uneven terrain. A jacket is also suggested as the desert’s climate can be windy and cool. About Fort Rock Park & Cowboy Dinner Tree Fort Rock State Park is a national natural landmark that rises out of the flatness of Oregon's high desert. Once a volcano, but subject to erosion from waves of a what was once an ancient sea, the towering walls of the extinct volcano create a natural fortress. The area was also a hub of Native American habitation, and the nearby Fort Rock Cave was the site of the earliest evidence of humans in the state of Oregon (prior to the excavation of the Paisley Caves). The Cowboy Dinner Tree serves up a taste of the old west. Once a line shack, the location of Cowboy Dinner Tree was a halfway point where the ranchers of Paisley, Summer Lake and Silver Lake pushed their cattle en route to the lush meadows of Sycan Marsh. This stop was where the chuckwagons once served up beans and biscuits to the cowboys passing through.

By Gerhard Beenen, SROA Treasurer Hi, my name is Gerhard Beenen. Last month, Sunriver owners elected me to your Board of Directors and the Board of Directors elected me to be your treasurer. As your treasurer, I would like to take a few minutes of your time to inform you about SROA finances through brief articles such as this one. My objective is to provide you with sufficient information so you understand SROA sources of revenue, expenses, what our reserve accounts are used for and the overall financial strength of SROA. Let me begin by telling you a bit about myself. My wife and I have enjoyed visiting Sunriver since the days when our kids were very young – more than 30 years ago now. Back in 1995, we purchased a vacation home here in Sunriver. In 2015, we achieved our retirement dream and moved to Sunriver as full-time (well, mostly full-time) residents. Since retiring to Sunriver, I have served as a member of the SROA Finance Committee and also on the Sunriver Nature Center Board of Directors. My educational background is in chemistry (BS University of Wisconsin; Ph.D. Oregon State University), and I spent most of my working career in the electronics/semiconductor industry as a general manager and/or executive manager working for small start-ups, mid-sized and large corporations. I learned about finance and accounting the “hard way,” creating budgets and driving organizations to meet or exceed revenue targets while minimizing expenses. SROA finances have many similarities to business finances but also some key differences. We have sources of revenue (owner maintenance fees, Member Preference and Recreation Plus programs, recreation-related gate fees, interest income) and expenses (salaries, materials, professional services, etc.). We have assets (computers, snowplows, fuel, merchandise, buildings, SHARC, etc.) and liabilities (mostly bills, accrued vacation time and prepaid revenues). Each year the SROA management team creates a budget for the coming fiscal year that is reviewed first by the Finance Committee and then by the SROA Board of Directors. This

tions that can be implemented throughout the community. Not every owner comment or suggestion can quickly be that successful. Some are directed to the IAMP (Infrastructure and Amenities Master Plan) Task Force. That group of owner-volunteers is doing a comprehensive survey that will result in recommendations to the board on priorities for Sunriver’s future. While awaiting recommendations from IAMP, the board will continue to listen, be responsive, and also be responsible to all owner-members and our mission. Your patience and understanding will be appreciated. The board has heard and is acting on concerns about recycling. You will soon have the opportunity to vote on a substantial improvement. The ballot will explain the proposal in detail, but it can be summarized as providing a new facility that will be owned by SROA, but ultimately be paid for by Waste Connections Inc. and Deschutes County. The design, planning and construction costs will initially be paid from budgeted SROA reserves, and then be reimbursed over five years. Because I have some background in T M,

Payment options, discount for 2020 maintenance fee payments SROA NEWS – During the Sept. 21 meeting of the SROA Board of Directors, the board approved a 3 percent discount on maintenance fees when an owner chooses to prepay their annual amount in full. Owners may also choose from three payment options. Please use the form on this page or online at www.sunriverowners.org and search for Maintenance Fee Option Request. You must submit the form – via mail or online – by Nov. 15. 1. Annual payment (to receive 3 percent discount) Prepay your annual 2020 maintenance fee and receive a 3 percent discount. This saves your association the expense of printing and mailing the entire invoice book. You will receive your invoice in late December. Your one-time payment must
be received by SROA no later than Jan. 25, 2020. PLEASE NOTE: The 3 percent discount applies to the regular maintenance fee only. Special assessment payments (such as SHARC) are not subject to the 3 percent discount. 2. Automatic monthly payment (no discount for monthly payments) The second alternative is to authorize SROA to automatically withdraw monthly payments from a bank account. Check the appropriate box on the form on this page or in the online form. You’ll receive an enrollment form instead of an invoice book saving you, and the association, time and money. 3.

Mushroom diversity shines in Central Oregon By Amanda Accamando, Nature Center Manager Puffball, conk, earthstar, smut, stinkhorn, rust, turkey tail, fly amanita and bleeding tooth. These bizarre names belong to just a few of the estimated 5.1 million fungal species that exist in the world. Although mushrooms are arguably the most familiar forms within the Kingdom Fungi, the diversity of fungus among us is astounding. At the microscopic level there are fungi such as the single-celled brewer’s yeast used in the production of beer and bread; and Candida, a yeast that lives in our mouth and intestines and aids with digestion. The brightly colored lichens we see growing on rocks and tree branches locally are composed of fungi living in a symbiotic association with algae, giving

The large honey fungus measures more than two miles wide and is found in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. Fungi are classified in their own kingdom, traditionally considered the highest level of biological organization. Al-

though many fungi may appear plant-like in form, they do not contain chlorophyll and are unable to produce their own food as plants do. Instead, fungi feed themselves by digesting organic matter, similar to how we feed as animals. In fact, molecular analyses have shown that fungi and animals are more closely related to one another than either group is to plants. Among the most important decomposers in nature, some fungi breaking down leaf litter and debris returning nutrients to the soil. Not all fungi are decomposers, however. Many fungi live in symbiotic relationships with plants instead. These
fungi work within the root systems of plants by increasing the uptake of water and the absorption of nutrients. In return for this benefit, plants provide the fungus with carbohydrates. Lastly, fungi may also be parasitic, attacking living organisms as a way of obtaining nutrition. In all cases, the mushroom that we observe above ground is the reproductive structure or fruiting body, of the fungus. It releases spores to be carried by air currents, eventually settling to produce mushrooms in new areas. Underground, a network of thin threads called mycelium continue to exist even after a mushroom is picked. The my-

celium grows outward seeking a food supply and can continue to produce new mushrooms. Mushrooms can be misunderstood and often overlooked, at least until they are sautéed in butter and highlighted in a delicious meal. As Oregonians, we are no strangers to the flavorful morels and chanterelles that can easily be harvested in the spring and fall, respectively. Foraging for edible mushrooms is one way to learn more about fungi diversity, though it is important to always be positive of your identification before consuming. Luckily, a large and passionate group of mushroom enthusiasts gathers on a regular basis in Bend to talk, identify, and enjoy mushrooms. The Central Oregon Mushroom Club is a great resource for beginners to learn more and a way for seasoned mushroom hunters to share their passion. The Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory and the Central Oregon Mushroom Club will partner to host the third annual Fungi Fest & Mushroom Show on Oct. 5. In the week leading up to the event, dozens of volunteers scour the state in search of mushrooms. More than a hundred different species will be showcased during the day-long event dedicated to appreciating and T M,

Celebrate October by viewing two meteor showers By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager As we head into October, we are enjoying the beautiful fall nights. The observatory will be open though Oct. 26, for evening programs on Wednesday and Saturday from 8 to 10 p.m. Solar viewing will be available from Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our solar program is included with the Sunriver Nature Center admission, so be sure to come by and check out the Sun. In addition, our Star Dome planetarium shows will continue on Saturday afternoon, and again right before our evening viewing program. Reservations are highly recommended, as space is limited, and can be reserved by visiting our website at snco. org. The fall nights are great for viewing galaxies and other fall objects. While Saturn still demands our attention, there are plenty of deep sky objects to keep the telescopes busy at night. This October, we have two meteor showers. First the Draconids shower, which produces about 10 meteors per hour. It is produced by the dust grains left behind by comet 21P
Giacobini-Zinner, which was discovered in 1900. The Draconids is a unusual shower, as its best viewing is in the early evening. The shower runs annually from Oct. 6-10, and the peak this year is on Oct. 8, which works well, since there will be a first quarter moon. Later in the month, the Orionids meteor shower returns. The Orionids is an average shower producing about 20 meteors per hour at their peak. It is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Halley, which has been known and observed since ancient times. This shower usually peaks on the night of Oct. 21. The moon will block some of the fainter meteors this year, but the Orionids are fairly bright, so it still should be a good show. Best viewing will be to the east after midnight. Be sure to find a dark location far from city lights. While October offers us some clear and cool nights, it is one of the best times for locals and visitors to view the heavens without the crowds of the summer visitors. The summer skies have moved away, but the great views of the fall constel-

Sex, death and insanity in the Kingdom Fungi From psychedelic cicada assassins to Chernobyl-colonizing molds, Christian Schwarz will provide an insider’s look at the vast range of bizarre lifestyles found in Kingdom Fungi during a presentation at SHARC on Thursday, Oct. 3 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Schwarz is a naturalist currently living in Santa Cruz, the land of milk (caps) and honey (mushrooms). He is
co-author of “Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast,” and now spends his time photographing, teaching about, collecting and researching mushrooms. Fungi satisfy his curiosity with their seemingly endless forms – from the grotesque to the bizarre to the sublimely beautiful. Besides dabbling in mushroom taxonomy, he loves fish, plants, nudibranchs, moths and dragonflies. He is a passionate
advocate for citizen science, especially the iNaturalist community. The program is co-hosted by Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory and the Central Oregon Mushroom Club. Event registration is $10 per person; free for SROA Members with discount code: MILKCAP (will be required to show their SROA Member Preference ID card at the door).

Treasurer
process begins in September and is complete by early December. Over the next couple of months, I will detail many aspects of the SROA budget in this column. The SROA treasurer’s role is to lead the Finance Committee and act as the key liaison between the Finance Committee and the SROA Board of Directors. In addition, the treasurer works closely with the SROA controller (Joe Healy) on issues of process, financial control and review. Healy, as a SROA employee and member of the SROA management team, is the most important person with respect to SROA finances and we are very fortunate to have such a highly skilled and dedicated controller. In closing, let me say a few words about our Finance Committee. Key members of the committee include the treasurer (myself), the SROA board chair Keith Mobley, SROA board directors Bob Nelson and Mark Burford, SROA General Manager Hugh Palcic, SROA controller Joe Healy and owner volunteers (Steve Phares, Jim Thorpe, Victoria Jacknow and Bob Wrightson).

Fall is the time for our staff to start planning for 2020 and prep for the winter season. Follow us on Facebook or visit our website, as we continue to post updates and photos. We look forward seeing you this fall. Committee members, so let me know if you are interested in joining. The committee meets once a month (and a few extra times during the fall “budget season” to review and approve the annual budget), review monthly financial reports, new financial policies and/or recommendations for the treasurer to review with the SROA Board of Directors. It’s a great team with lots of talent and lively conversation. Again, let me know if you are interested in joining the Finance Committee. I can be contacted via email at gerhard@beenens.net 20837359R

By Wes Perrin Military memorabilia and a special Sunday sale highlight the October calendar at the Second Tern Thrift Store. On Oct. 6, the Tern will conduct a rare Sunday sale from 1 to 4 p.m. “It will provide our customers the opportunity to shop on a day other than on our regular Fridays and Saturdays,” said store manager Susan Erstgaard. “We’ve had many requests to be open on an alternative day, and this is the first time we’ve been able to make it happen. However, we will not be able to accept donations.” Collectors of World War II military gear who visit the store can view an unusual-looking Fairchild Aviation F-71 magnifying stereoscope, complete with its original carrying case. During the war the set was used to examine aerial photos which were taken seconds apart
from an observation plane. When two nearly identical photos were placed under the stereoscope and viewed simultaneously, it would result in three dimensional focus and provide greater detail. The device employed a combination of mirrors, prisms and a set of fourpower magnifying binoculars. Specially trained photographic interpreters would use the sightings to locate enemy rocket locations and missile sites, and to plan battlefield operations. The F-71 set donated to the Tern is in barely-used condition, but is missing the magnifying binoculars. The study wooden carrying case stamped “US Army” weighs approximately nine pounds, and provides excellent protection. A casual survey of eBay listings shows a number of similar units being offered for prices ranging from $40 to $125,
depending on condition. A surprising array of parts and accessories are also offered. Continuing to celebrate its 30th year of operation, the Second Tern is located a short distance west from Harper Bridge on Spring River Road. Regular winter hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday. All sales from the nonprofit benefit the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory.

Fly fishing road trips By Tim Mertins This month’s topic that will be covered at the Sunriver Anglers Club meeting to be held at the SHARC on Thursday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. will be “Fly Fishing Road Trips” presented by featured speaker John Kreft. Kreft has traveled and fished rivers in Oregon, Montana, Washington and Idaho and will provide examples of what to take, where to stay and other lessons learned that you can use when on your own fly-fishing trip. His presentation will include pictures he has taken during trips to the following rivers: lower Madison, Stillwater, Big Hole, St. Joe and Upper Columbia. Kreft has been tying flies for a number of years and said he

John Kreft will showcase his fly fishing road tips.
began in 1970 with the mentorship of Wayne Doughton. Kreft bought the materials needed to make six flies which Doughton had sold him. When Kreft could tie those six flies correctly, he was to bring the “models” back, trade them for six different ones, purchase the materials for these new ones and make them. This went on for a while. As the old adage says – practice makes perfect – and Kreft became adept at fly tying. In recent years Kreft has tied more than 170 dozen flies each year and developed custom “John Kreft flies” that have become very popular with his clients, friends and members of the Central Oregon Flyfishers (COF) – Kreft’s local club. Kreft and his wife Karen, a noted fly fisher in her own right, reside in Sisters and are
close to the Metolius River. Kreft has fished nymphs, dries and streamers but says he loves to see trout rise slowly to take a fly he has tied. He likens this to a chess match where he is waiting to call out “check mate.” Kreft is a regular contributor to the Fly of the Month column in COF newsletter and has managed the COF Winter Fly Tying since 2012. Kreft was the treasurer for the Oregon Council – FFI and chair of the 2015 and 2016 NW Fly Tying & Fly Fishing Expo in Albany. He has also exhibited his flytying abilities at the NW Expo, Western Idaho Fly Fishing Expo in Boise, The Northern California Fly Tying Expo in Redding and in 2017 received T F,

ticity will help you understand how the “mind over matter” principle actually works… how we can change our DNA, change our bodies and overcome obstacles. We’ll discuss and practice some mindfulness and meditation techniques that you can add to your toolbox for decreasing stress and illness and increasing your health and joy. The Playbook for Aging Thursday, Oct. 10, 4-5:30 p.m., at Sunriver Public Library. Taught by Kelli Bradley whose experience of caring for her mother led her to own and operate an in-home care company. Bradley is the founder of The Devoted Daughter, a collection of resources for family caregivers. We tend to avoid things that make us uncomfortable, but with 10,000 people turning 65 every day, it's not a matter of if aging is going to affect you, it's a matter of when. This session will be an introduction into the issues we, as adult care-givers and

aging adults ourselves, should be thinking about and planning for. Bridge for Beginners Wednesday, Oct. 16, 23, 30, Nov. 6, 13, 20, 1-2:30 p.m. at SHARC Crescent Room. Taught by Sunriver resident Sandi Merrigan, assisted by a few fellow bridge-playing cohorts. You want to learn bridge and play in a group, but bridge

Hands-on experience will give you confidence to participate in Sunriver area bridge groups. Emotional Freedom Technique Tuesday Oct 29, 4-5 p.m., at Sunriver Public Library.
Taught by Tammy Goen, MA. Emotional freedom techniques (EFT) or tapping, is a technique for releasing blockages in the energy/emotion system to resolve nearly any issue – from unwanted cravings or unhealthy habits to relationship or work difficulties, physical pain or ailments to trauma, etc. The technique is simple and easy to learn and similar to acupuncture…without the needles, and with a low intensity focus on underlying emotions. In this class you’ll learn a brief background of how and why EFT works, the basic protocol and how to use it yourself. Landscape Photography Fundamentals Wednesday, Nov. 6, 4-5:30 p.m. at Sunriver Public Library. Taught by Chad Copeland of Copeland Gallery in The Village at Sunriver. Copeland’s photography expertise and lifelong outdoor adventure spirit combine to provide breathtaking images from air, land and sea. In 2015, Copeland photographed “People of Action” for
Microsoft’s Windows 10 that now live on over six billion devices worldwide – maybe even your own computer. Come join this National Geographic contributor and Planet Earth cinematographer as he begins with an in-house fundamentals review, what equipment to use, how to get the shot and what to do with it afterward. Tech Forum 1 – Apps Monday, Nov. 18, 4-5:30 p.m., at Sunriver Public Library. Do you feel left behind in the digital age or are you totally on top of it and could help those that aren’t? Tech Forums will be a round table approach to share questions and discover how others are using technology to be more efficient, to stay connected, or to just have fun. In this first forum we will tackle apps for your mobile device or tablet. Which are worth having and which are a waste of time (and sometimes money)? How can you get the most out of your device with useful apps? Come share what you know (and don’t know), and we can all become collectively smarter.

Message
telecommunications, I am very pleased to be a member of a work group that has contracted with a consultant to come up with a plan that could result in SROA owning and operating a fiber network that will allow broadband connections throughout Sunriver. We are working with existing providers of telecom services, who will utilize SROA fiber but will be seeking to serve customers competitively on the basis of their quality of service and prices. While it is going to take a while to develop the plan and then seek owner-voter approval, we believe this is a realistic goal. My experience has been in The Dalles and Maupin, where such service is now in place. Two of the broadband providers there have now connected to more than 60 percent of Maupin’s 430 residents, and are getting good results. See http://www. gorge.net/maupin/ and https:// www.lsnetworks.net/maupin/ to learn more. Finally, you will be hearing more about the search for a successor for our General Manager, Hugh Palcic. Immediate past board president Bob Nelson, now our vice president, is working closely with Hugh and Human Resources manager Leslie Knight in providing leadership in this effort. They will be non-voting members of a task force including myself, Bob and five others to be announced. It is a pleasure to be able to share what I am learning with you. We will continue to listen, and to report back.

SUNRIVER SCENE • OCTOBER 2019
Fly-Tying Corner: Carey Special By Phil Fischer I really like rediscovering old patterns. These flies worked many years ago and are still very effective today. The Carey Special is just such a fly. This pattern was originally tied for still waters in British Columbia in 1925 by Dr. Lloyd Day from Quesnel, BC. It was popularized by Col. Thomas Carey, and the pattern was named in his honor.
I don’t know who or when the fly pattern was introduced to Central Oregon, but today it is a staple in many of our fly boxes for Crane Prairie, East Lake and other area lakes. The fly design is straightforward. It consists of a peacock herl body and a pheasant back or rump feather for the hackle and tail. The fly imitates many insects found in our area lakes,
from dragonflies to water boatman and others. The subtleties I add to the Careys in my box really make it a very versatile and effective pattern. I often weight the pattern differently for different waters. I’ll add more weight to the fly for East Lake and fish it deeper than perhaps I would at Crane Prairie. I can also vary how deep the fly is fished with the fly line I use. For shallow waters I may opt for a hover line with a very slow sink rate, or I may use it on an intermediate line to get down deeper. The key to fishing this pattern it to vary the retrieve. I like an erratic, wonky retrieve that imitates a dragonfly nymph. But vary your retrieve based on whatever the fish seem to prefer on any given day. I recently tied up a fresh batch of Carey Specials and took them out to Crane Prairie one afternoon. I used the electric
motor to move quietly around an area until I started seeing fish and then anchored in very shallow water. I rigged up a Carey Special at the end of 16 feet of 3X tippet on a Hover line and began sight casting to these fish. On the second cast I felt that abrupt stop and set the hook to a 21” rainbow. At the beginning of this article, I stated I loved rediscovering old patterns; a 21” rainbow really sealed the deal for me that day. Try this pattern during summer and early fall on your favorite local lake. Materials list Hook: Daiichi 1710, size 8-14 Thread: Danville 6/0 flat waxed in olive brown Weight: 6-12 wraps of .015 lead wire Tail: Whiting freshwater streamer hen cape in mottled gray or brown, or ringneck pheasant rump hackle
Abdomen: peacock Rib: Medium copper wire Hackle: Whiting freshwater streamer hen cape in mottled gray or brown, or ringneck pheasant rump hackle or back hackle Tying instructions and steps are published in video form, and can be found on the Sunriver Anglers Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ SunriverAnglers/ or YouTube at https://youtu.be/Viilj5gprwI Experiment with this pattern to imitate the dragonfly nymph or other aquatic insects. If you have questions or would like additional information about the Carey special, please don’t hesitate to email me. Or, if you have suggestions on future patterns to feature in this column, I welcome your input. I can be reached at philfischer@sbc global.net

SUNRIVER SCENE • OCTOBER 2019
Sunriver Resort Lodge exhibit continues through January By Billye Turner Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery continues the exhibition of paintings of Oregon’s vineyards and dramatic landscapes by noted Bend artist Joanne Donaca through Oct. 6. Beginning Oct. 9 and continuing through Jan. 5, David Wachs presents stark, yet colorful images of winter on ski slopes of the Pacific Northwest and other locations. An Oregon native, Joanne Donaca finds inspiration in the striking beauty of Central Oregon and other nature scenes. In her current exhibit featuring works in oil, she presents “Steelhead Falls” near Terrebonne, Deschutes River scenes, and other landscapes as well as images of Oregon’s plush vineyards from the Willamette Valley. Recognized through her signature membership in the Watercolor Society of America, she is known as well through her membership in the Pastel Society of America. The prestigious Oil Painters of America also honored her with membership. The continuing exhibit will feature David Wachs’ acrylic paintings of his solitary skiing experiences in Oregon, Washington and Montana. He likens
these periods to Henry David Thoreau’s quote, “I have never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude." Such encounters – observing immense rugged peaks deeply buried in snow and rarely traversed by humans, the boundless reflection of light on the icy surfaces, all surrounded by near absolute quietude – these nearly inexpressible experiences of overwhelming grandeur and solemn reflection commanded his use of paint on canvas in attempts to record these memories. The artist notes the immense challenge of painting from memory to pictorially capture the inspiration of these profound experiences. He remarks on the necessity of using an immediate point of view to illustrate the power of the vibrant oranges, yellows and even blues that he observed. He strives to articulate, to paint, nearly indescribable events. Such characterizes Wachs’ involvement with and commitment to art from an early age which continues presently. He studied at Portland’s Museum Art School, Indiana State University and at Montana State University, Bozeman. His work

SUNRIVER SCENE • OCTOBER 2019
‘Ice Cream Trail’ features top shops, including Sunriver How do you create a new food trail that showcases the top ice cream shops across an entire state? Simple. Ask the experts! And that’s just what the Oregon Dairy and Nutrition Council did when it crowdsourced the new Oregon Ice Cream Trail. Crowdsourcing is the process of enlisting the services of a large number of people, typical-
ly via the internet. In this case, it was ice cream aficionados. Starting with an assortment of 10 landmark ice cream shops, fans were encouraged to submit and vote for their favorite shops in Oregon. The result? You can now choose your own ice cream adventure to include more than 50 stops clustered within seven geographic regions.
Goody’s Chocolates & Ice Cream, a Sunriver staple since 1984, is one of seven Central Oregon shops that made the list. Goody’s is located in building 22 in The Village at Sunriver. “Building this trail reaffirmed something we already knew – people are passionate about their ice cream,” said Josh Thomas, Senior Director of Communications for the Oregon Dairy and Nutrition Council. “Thanks to the hundreds of votes we received, this trail showcases the top shops and some of the best ice cream you’ll find anywhere in the world.” The Oregon Ice Cream Trail includes all varieties of scoop and soft serve ice cream, custard, gelato and even frozen yogurt – all made in Oregon. All stops are featured on a free, downloadable map at OregonIceCreamTrail.com –Source: Oregon Dairy and Nutrition Council

time we brewed it.” said Brett Thomas, Director of Brewing Operations. “We couldn’t be happier to give the people what they want and in the package they want it in.” This will be the first yearround release for the brewery in the 16-ounce can format.

Locals invited to help ‘Fill Don’s Truck’ for charity Mark your calendar for Oct. 18, 5-8 p.m. when the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver is sponsoring the second annual Local’s Night event. Artists will join with residents to celebrate all things “local.” The gallery’s artists wish to thank customers for their support and generosity. It’s an evening of fun, discounts, art giveaways, appetizers and beverages. Highlights of the evening include the generous contributions from Sunriver Brewing Company and First Interstate Bank. It takes many hands to collect 1,500 pounds of donated food for Care and Share, the local south Deschutes County food bank that serves an average 185 families per month. That is almost a total of 700 adults and children. Once again, locals are being asked to “Fill Don’s Truck” with
non-perishable food items or cash donations for Care and Share. Artists will be on hand to accept the donations. Especially needed are protein-based items such as peanut butter, chili and tuna fish. Hearty soups are also a great donation. Your donations will earn you a raffle ticket entered into drawings for art, jewelry and fine crafts – all generously donated by the 30 artists of the gallery. Look outside the gallery for Don’s truck and the Fill Don’s Truck banner in early October. Come enjoy some hospitality as the Artists’ Gallery celebrates you on Friday, Oct. 18 from 5 to 8 p.m. for food, fun and raffles.

Pumpkin
does is so huge, and so important,” says Gavin Hepp, co-owner of Webfoot. “We want to do all we can to support them in a big way, and show that our Central Oregon community sees and appreciates them.” Every year Smith Rock Ranch donates a large number of pumpkins (over 300 last year). Local individuals then have the opportunity to buy and decorate their pumpkin during the Carving for Kids event. On top of that, more than 90 Central Oregon businesses purchased a custom carved pumpkin with their corporate logos etched in for storefront displays. With 100 percent of the proceeds going directly to MountainStar Family Relief Nursery, it adds up. In 2018 alone, Carving for Kids raised more than $32,000, and over the last 10 years the numbers add up to more than $125,000. In the words of the
Trick or Treat Halloween events The Village at Sunriver is excited to present Spooktacular fun on Halloween. Youngsters of all ages are welcome to enjoy trick or treating with Village merchants and show off their costumes during the costume contest – where winners will receive frightfully fun prizes.
The festivities begin at 4 p.m. and continue until 6 p.m., free of charge. There will also be bounce house fun, a cupcake walk, and ghoulish games at our spooky Halloween party. There is no door-to-door T H,
Webfoot team, that’s “Seriously Great.” This kind of pumpkin extravaganza takes time and organization. Webfoot Painting typically dedicates three full office days (and about 500 combined hours of labor) to coordinating and running the event. After all, it involves a lot of moving parts… and moving pumpkins. Webfoot and MountainStar
Family Relief Nursery invite you to attend on Saturday, Oct. 19 at The Box Factory in Bend (550 SW Industrial Way near AVID Cider). The hope is that this will be the biggest year yet, full of families, fun and funds raised.

Local Rotarians help with hurricane relief, Cycle Oregon The Sunriver-La Pine Club is well-known for its efforts to support local nonprofits having raised and distributed nearly $600,000 over the past 26 years. The club’s committed to “service above self ” goes well beyond local projects. Last month, the Club donated funds to provide Rotary ShelterBoxes for Bahamas Hurricane Relief. ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that provides emergency shelter and other aid items to families around the world. Rotary ShelterBoxes contain a family-sized tent that protects people from the elements while they start to recover from physical and emotional trauma. The contents of the box differ depending on the disaster and the climate, but items such as solar lights, water storage and purification equipment, thermal blankets and cooking utensils help start the process of creating a home.
Cycle Oregon Oregon’s largest and most popular cycling event, Cycle Oregon, rolled into La Pine last month and local chamber and Rotary members volunteered to host cyclists from around the world. Although cool La Pine temperatures and rain greeted cyclists, enthusiasm for the annual ride wasn’t dampened. This year’s event started and ended in Oakridge. From Sept. 8 through Sept. 15, cyclists rode through Rainbow, Tumalo, La Pine, Diamond Lake and Dorena Lake. Special thanks to Sunriver-La Pine Rotarians that helped out: Monet and Charlie Beith, Ray Kuratek, Madeline Bednarek, Cheri Martinen, Phil Murphy, Laurie Henberg and Gene Bennington.

Partnerships, training and preparations By Jim Bennett, Sunriver Fire & Rescue It was early September and one of the largest, if not the largest, prescribed burns in Central Oregon was set and Sunriver Fire was right there to participate, protect and learn. Known as Canyon 66, the more than 5,000-acre burn was coordinated and managed by the U.S. Forest Service Prairie Division and took place near Walton Lake east of Prineville. Sunriver Fire and Rescue has built strong partnerships with agencies throughout Central Oregon, one of which is the
U.S. Forest Service, who we routinely interface with during the summer months. These partnerships create the perfect path to participating in training events and prescribed burns, such as the Canyon 66 burn in the Ochocos. When conducting joint training, structure fire agencies, such as Sunriver, bring their experience of medical/ rescue calls and structure firefighting (homes, businesses, other structures), while forest service firefighters bring their extensive experience in fighting wildland fires in a variety of
SUNRIVER SCENE • OCTOBER 2019
settings throughout Central Oregon and beyond. There was some experience for all to be gained in structure protection during the September burn with a couple of historic buildings protected, but the focus was on fire management, fire ignition, lining a fire and other wildland operations. These prescribed burns certainly offer some “live fire” experience, but they also serve the purpose of firefighters receiving direct oversight, managed experience and menT T, www.sunriverowners.org

Training
toring to gain higher level certifications in fire operations. While there is “classroom,” book or other form of study for the various certifications of firefighters, nothing beats supervised experience or the “hands-on” approach. Firefighters have “task-books” that they must have signed off by a firefighter with at least the certification they are seeking to attain. At the September burn, firefighters Johnson, Martinez, Stewart and Simmons participated and demonstrated to their mentors that they had mastered certain components in their task-books. Johnson completed his certification in mobile water tender operations and received signoffs toward his engine boss certification, while the other three firefighters received signoffs in their task-books toward Firefighter 1 certification. The role of engine boss is critical to fire safety operations, initial attack and supervising the individual engine’s crew.
Depending on the type of apparatus (engine) that responds to a wildland fire there could be from two to five firefighters aboard. The engine boss leads the crew, under the direction of higher level or “overhead” fire managers. Why does this matter? We are fortunate at SRFD to have been provided with two pieces of apparatus specifically for wildland response, Engines 241 and 242. To operate these engines in a mutual aid or larger wildland fire event, an engine boss is required. For our firefighters to be appropriately trained and certified as engine bosses they need live fire opportunities that come with prescribed burns and wildland fire events. The Canyon 66 burn provided our firefighters with these valuable opportunities. In the structure of fire incident management, the role of division supervisor is a critical overseer, planner and management position. Deputy Chief Bjorvik has been on a path toward completing certification in this role. The Canyon 66 burn offered us the opportunity of having
Jack Johns
Real estate BRokeR G.R.I.
Chief Bjorvik act in the capacity of division supervisor, under supervision of a certified division supervisor. This provided him additional signoff ’s in his required tasks toward becoming certified. Why is this important? Sunriver has been fortunate to avoid significant wildfire incidents, due to many factors, not the least of which is the excellent work done by SROA and their partners in reducing ladder fuels, removal of dead vegetation and appropriate thinning. However, we are a wooded community and certain fire risks exist. In the event we are ever faced with a significant event, we want to be sure that our firefighters are well trained, experienced and certified to manage the incident. The opportunities afforded us by the forest service and other Central Oregon Fire agencies to train and gain experience are of immense value and critical to our preparedness.

Nutcracker… it takes a village By Victoria Kristy, Sunriver Stars Artistic Director When a director decides to put on a show, he or she can’t do it alone. It truly takes a village, and in the case of Sunriver Stars upcoming production of “Nut-
cracker,” it takes “villagers” from the Sunriver, La Pine and Bend communities coming together to make the magic happen. Start with 30 talented local actors and nine crew members, ages 6 to 86, who will devote 34
evenings to learning their lines and blocking for the play. Add in the generosity of Kent Elliott, and the board of the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce, who are sharing community space with the Stars for rehearsals. T S,
Cast of the Stars ‘Nutcracker.’

Sunriver Library exhibit The Sunriver Area Public Library continues its exhibition of mixed-media art by Janet Akers and Patty Freeman Martin. An artist reception will be held on Thursday, Oct. 3 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend to meet the artists. Patty Freeman Martin’s collection of mixed media drawings on cradled Ampersand Claybord represent a series of field drawings done mostly outdoors near her home and studio in Terrebonne.
“I worked in a raw, free, direct and expressive style to transcribe my experience of the lines, textures and figures in the landscape,” said Freeman Martin. Freeman Martin uses a mix of handmade wire and water-soluble graphite pencils, brushes, water color pencils and gouache to create a series of marks that gave her the impression of the landscape, trees, birds in flight, snippets of horses and livestock. “I let

Explore Botswana in Book Club selections Books can take you to new lands, let you experience different cultures, and expand horizons. Join us this month to read books set in Botswana. Book Club discussions are held on Monday at 6 p.m. and are open to all. • Oct. 14 Mystery Book Club discusses “Carrion Death” by Michael Stanley (Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip). Assistant superintendent David “Kubu” Bengu of the Botswana police is a big likeable fellow, devoted to his wife, thankful for the chances in life that led him to college and a passion for opera. Detectives in Botswana have a few challenges our cops do not face,
such as having the body of the victim dined on by the local animals leaving nothing but some bones behind. This is the situation when Kubu is sent to Dale’s Camp out in the back of beyond where ranger Andries Botha and Dr. Sibisi Bongi discovered what was left of someone, probably a murder victim and possibly a white man adding more complications. Kubu will have other issues to contend with as the story takes us to the handover of power in one of the country’s more powerful companies involved in diamond mining.

will find much to enjoy in this series featuring Kubu. • Oct. 21 Fiction Book Club discusses “White Dog Fell From the Sky” by Eleanor Morse. It was not difficult to get on the wrong side of the authorities in 1976 South Africa if you are black; in fact, it is very easy. Isaac Mutherthe, a young medical student, witnessed the murder of his friend by authorities, now his life is in jeopardy and he must flee into neighboring Botswana leaving his family behind. Isaac meets two special beings in Botswana: white dog and Alice Mendelssohn. Without papers or prospects his options are few. Isaac is fortunate to find work as a gardener. Alice sees that Isaac is a bright young man. She intuits that he is in some kind of trouble and forges a friendship with her young gardener. When he goes missing, Alice refuses to believe that Isaac abandoned his job, she searches for him, learning truths about herself and Africa that will change her life. This book is a poignant story filled with luminous writing and moments of grace. Sunriver Books & Music is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver.

“A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing.” – Payne Stewart, 1957–1999, PGA winner of three Majors
Back row, left to right: Bret Mackay, Mike Hughes, Paul Grieco, Steve Phares, Dick Korban, RC liaison Tom Woodruff. Front row, left to right: Don Wright, Dave Hennsessy, John Volkober. Team members not in photo: Chris Points, Don Olson and Mike Calhoun.
Sunriver Men’s Golf: Club comes out on top By Paul Grieco In a totally surprising and exceptional manner, Sunriver’s Resort Cup team came from 16 points behind after three rounds of play to storm
into first place to a 17 point margin of victory, winning the Cup for the first time since its inception 15 years ago. Sunriver took home course advantage for the fi-
nal of four events and after removing the lowest “A” and “B” flight scores, the team averaged nearly 37 points per man. Final results: Sunriver 1256 points, Widgi Creek
1245, Black Butte 1239, Eagle Crest 1180. Leading the charge with very good scores (considering 36 points is essentially shooting net par) were Steve Phares with 44 points (second place overall in the “B” flights), Dave Hennessy with 40, Mike Hughes with 39 (taking first place in the “A” flights), Paul Grieco with 37 and Bret Mackay with 36 (third place “A” flights). See the accompanying photo for the full team and its terrific (and no-longer-suffering) leader, Tom Woodruff. Lest we forget, this team was the fourth team to compete, as three other events took place over the three preceding months, one at each resort, with our teams keeping Sunriver within shouting distance of the lead. SRMGC wins third straight Sunriver Cup After taking a command-
µ
ing 9–3 lead on the first day of a two day Ryder Cupstyle format competition, the Sunriver team held tight and weathered an 8–4 singles deficit on day two to win its third straight Sunriver Cup versus Crosswater with a final 13–11 score. There were two pros and 10 team members for each club. On day one at Crosswater, there were six 9-hole matches of two man teams, the first nine of better-ball and the second match of Chapman format, which partially employs alternate shots by team members. Twelve singles matches were held at the Woodlands on day two. Every Sunriver player, either on a team or singly, took at least one point. The only player on either team to win all three of his points was Sunriver’s Peter Knaupp. Sunriver now leads the series 7–5.

Habitat for Humanity launches business partnership program By Andrea Hine Sunriver Resort, Sunriver Brewing, Sunriver Chamber of Commerce, Mike’s Tire & Auto Center, Sunriver Realty, Village Bar & Grill, AmeriTitle, Inc., Sunriver Country Store, Sunriver Marketplace and, in La Pine, Vic Russell Construction, Ace Hardware and Midstate Electric, all have two things in common. As well-established businesses, they contribute to the economic vitality of south Deschutes County. And, as participants in Habitat for Humanity’s new partnership program, they are making a positive difference in their communities, and the lives of their employees and
customers. As explained by Ric Floyd, a board member who spearheads the effort, “Habitat for Humanity of La Pine-Sunriver has been providing affordable home ownership opportunities for families in south Deschutes
County for the past 25 years. By partnering with local businesses such as these, we can do even more.” Floyd credits Sunriver Resort for its long-term relationship with the Habitat affiliate, having most recently raised $80,000, through its annual Wine, Cheese and Brew ShowT H,

Last year’s champion, Scott Brown, acquitted himself well enough to finish in third place (154) and was awarded second low gross due to Mackay’s low net finish. Dick Korban won his first Low Net Championship from Flight III with a 10 under par, playing very steadily with rounds of net 66 and net 67 edging out Doug Kristensen (net 64 and net 70,

The meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m. The next regular meeting of the Sunriver Service District Managing Board is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 17, 3 p.m. at the Sunriver Fire Station Training Room, 57475 Abbot Drive in Sunriver. As available, approved meeting minutes are posted to www.sunriversd.org
An environmental assessment performed in 2009 found small amounts of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) present in the soil at limited locations in Sunriver. The ACM are associated with Camp Abbot, a World War II U.S. Army camp located on the property that became Sunriver. Air testing has demonstrated that the ACM poses extremely low risk to people. Nevertheless, if ACM is encountered it must be properly managed and disposed of as required by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. What is ACM? Asbestos-containing material consists of building materials or other substances that contain one percent or more asbestos fibers. Historically, ACM included floor tile, building siding, roofing materials, automobile brake pads, insulation, wall texture, and many more materials. What does the ACM in Sunriver look like? ACM encountered in Sunriver soil generally consists of shards of building siding and floor tile, commonly between 1 and 6 inches in diameter. Materials may be greenish gray, light gray or other colors, and commonly exhibit ribbed or grid patterns. Samples of ACM are available for viewing at the Sunriver Owners Association. Where are the asbestos-containing materials? ACM has been encountered in discrete locations on common property in Sunriver. It typically has been found on the surface or within 12 inches of the surface. ACM has also been detected on a small number of private properties. It is possible that ACM are present in soil in other areas. What should I do if I see it? Do not disturb suspected materials. Contact the Air Quality Program of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality at 541-633-2019 if suspect material is encountered on private property. Contact the Sunriver Owners Association at 541-593-1522 if suspect material is encountered on common areas. Where can I find additional information? The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality can provide additional information about asbestos and ACM. Information also can be obtained from the DEQ Asbestos Program website www.deq.state.or.us/aq/asbestos/index.htm. The Sunriver Owners Association can provide additional information.
Sunriver a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS)
If you ever receive a letter from the Department of the Army it is a periodic government advisement notification that your property may have been part of a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS), also known as Camp Abbot, and that munitions may be present on or near your property. Camp Abbot was in operation as a military training site between 1943 and 1944 and included gas chambers, rifle/machine gun, grenade, mortar and anti-tank ranges. Should you find possible munitions, you are advised not to touch it and call 911. If you need further information, call toll-free 1-855-765-3837. For general information about the FUDS Program, visit www.fuds.mil Camp Abbot/FUDS information is also available on the SROA website at www. sunriverowners.org SUNRIVER SCENE • OCTOBER 2019

Letters from readers Chorus of One:
Unintended (?) consequences of new trail development By Gerald Brown, Nancy Stacey Brown & Rick Martson, Sunriver The new trail development for “mountain biking, hiking, and trail running across Cardinal Landing Bridge” has had unintended serious consequences to those who enjoy riding horses in our national forest. Many roads have been decommissioned to deny all access, with boulders, tree trunks, and deeply plowed pumice moon dust. Not only that, the Forest Service and/or Central Oregon Trail Alliance have blocked legacy horseback trails leading out of Sunriver with boulders, tree limbs and anything else they could find. How the U.S. Forest Service could have permitted such is beyond us. We have enjoyed 30 summers in Sunriver with horses. Across Cardinal Landing Bridge thousands of acres of Deschutes National Forest offer beautiful rides. Now, a simple 15-minute ride west has become
Excessive noise pollution in northeast Sunriver By Suzanne and Dale Adkins Do you live in the northeast end of Sunriver? If so, are you being negatively impacted by noise pollution from equipment sounding like a badly maintained motor or turbine with bad bearings? The frequencies and volume of the noise pierces through walls and windows and emanates from the source at all times of the day and night, nearly 365 days a year, with occasional rare

an hour-long exercise in picking our way around obstacles hazardous to our horses. Frequently these new trails are a mere four feet from an existing pumice road. Not only was a new bike path carved out of the forest, the existing road was decommissioned. Remember, the forest across from Cardinal Landing Bridge is Sunriver’s major fire hazard axis. The decommissioned roads were wide enough for firefighting and suppression equipment to use immediately in case of an emergency. The new paths are not. So, before firefighting equipment could get into the area, USFS would have to bulldoze the boulders and trees they put in the road out of the way, then grade the road anew. All of which would take time (something emergencies seldom provide) and money. Every year we have seen thousands of visitors, especially children, charmed by close admiration
respites from the volume and intensity. Noise level measurements taken exceed the very specific State and County noise standards, even as far away as nearly ¼ mile. The purpose of this letter is two-fold: (1) if you are impacted, we are interested in hearing from you and adding you to a growing group of residents tracking the developments in this issue; and (2) seek a stronger noise ordinance and compliance with SROA and Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office (who has regulatory authority over noise pollution in Sunriver).
There are definitive actions that both agencies can take that could lead to a resolution. Our interest is for the noise to stop or be significantly reduced to a reasonable level. There are regulatory and legal remedies available, but it would be much preferable to work together to find a satisfactory resolution for all involved. If you would like to be kept informed of communications or other activities related to this issue, please contact us by email or phone (daleandsuz@ bendbroadband.com; 541-5431319). Thank you!

of the horses in Sunriver. And we have thoroughly enjoyed explaining to them about our mounts, and letting kids pet their noses. Horses brought settlers to developing Oregon: settlers could not have gotten here on mountain bikes. What is difficult for us to accept is that we always thought of Sunriver as a community of active individuals who were mutually supportive of each other’s passions when it came to enjoying the magnificent Central Oregon environment. 31 miles of 4-foot wide asphalt-covered bike paths in Sunriver were fine with us as it allowed bike enthusiasts to safely enjoy their sport. When we encountered bikers or hikers in the national forest we greeted them and frequently gave them directions and suggestions. We never made any move to block or hinder their use of the national forest. Now it would appear the biking and hiking community cannot say the same when it comes to those of us who enjoy horseback riding.
