Traffic flow, pedestrian access to be studied for business park In late July, the Deschutes County Commission tapped the county’s road department to examine traffic safety issues around the Sunriver Business Park – located east of South Century Drive and south of Sunriver. As one of the busiest sections of road in the Three Rivers area, the road department will put out a request for a contractor, who will look at traffic flows at each of the intersections along the loop, particularly the troublesome spot where South Century Drive connects to Venture Lane, one of two main roads through the business park. Chris Doty, director of the Deschutes County Road Department, said the contractor will consider several ideas already submitted by the community, including

the possibility of making Venture Lane a one-way road and adding bicycle/pedestrian lanes. Established more than 20 years ago, the Sunriver Business Park is one of three business districts in the Sunriver area,

which includes The Village at Sunriver and a small collection of businesses along Spring River Road. The business park itself is home to around 100 businesses, ranging from a gas station, hardware Turn to Business Park, page 17 PRSRT STD. U.S. POSTAGE PAID BEND, OR PERMIT NO. 213

We Want to Hear From You It’s that time again: time for the comprehensive survey of SROA owners. The owner survey is one of several tools in our “hearing from you” toolbox -- ways for you, SROA owners, to let the board of directors know what’s on your mind and help the board and staff prioritize projects and programming for the future of our Pat Hensley association. The owner survey is also a crucial tool for helping us to better understand who we are and what is important to us. Because of their value to the Board’s sound decision-making, we have been conducting these surveys more frequently. With about 20 percent of Sunriver properties having changed hands since the last survey three years ago, the board believes that surveying owners more frequently is important to making decisions that reflect the membership of today. The owner survey is a quick and easy way for each and every owner to tell us how you and your guests use and enjoy Sunriver. The survey only takes about 10 minutes to complete. Owners who have registered Tabulations from the 2014 comprehensive owner’s survey. their email address on the SROA website and are owners whose primary residences are in Mississippi owners in attendance to fill out informal surveys listed in the database as the primary contact for their or Missouri or California or the Willamette Valley. on a number of topics.

The artists will attend the reception in their honor on Saturday, Oct. 7 from 4 to 6 p.m. In the early 1970s Daniel Florea and his wife, in a dilapidated van loaded with paintings and art supplies, moved to Bend where “the light was good.” In Bend, he befriended the Cleveland family and subsequently, as art director, joined their toy company, one of the largest in the industry. With Florea, North Pacific marketed many products including his kite designs, the Bionic Buzzard and another, a tribute to Alexander Calder, which sold thousands. The artist notes that Norma

Lively art exhibit brightens up the Sunriver Library The Sunriver Library is host to an exhibit of three local artists with an emphasis on bright, bold color. Painter MaryLea Harris, and fused glass artists Bob and Sandy Lercari, will showcase their work Sept. 9 through Oct. 27. An abstract acrylic painter, Harris is known for her whimsical, brightly-colored “Happy Little Leaves” and “Happy Little Trees” paintings around Bend as well as for her latest abstract map series. Themes from nature appear in her work in the form of abstracted leaves, roots, bark and natural rock formations with drips, brush strokes and layers of scraped paint, plaster and paper. A native of Virginia, Harris’ formal education includes receiving degrees in studio art and art history with an emphasis in painting and printmaking from Sweet Briar College. She later earned her Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Harris relocated to Bend in 2013 with her family and resumed her fulltime art career. When she was teaching kids, they asked her what her favorite color was… she always said “rainbow.” Harris’ love of rainbows and bright colors are evident in her whimsical work. Using a bold palette, she creates a wide range of work in acrylic and mixed media art. Her personal motto, “Authenticity > Perfection,” is evident in her abstract work as she explores new ideas, materials and techniques. The layers in her work allude to the interplay between positives and negatives in space and life. She focuses on the interplay of space as she reflects on her own positive and negative growth experiences in the past few years. Sandy and Bob Lercari are a husband and wife team of fused glass artists. They recently moved to Bend from Maui. Their glass art uses a variety of

art expertise grew with his earlier study at Portland State University and the Pacific Northwest College of Art at the Portland Art Museum. In the 1960s, he studied with famed Oregon artists LaVerne Krause, Louis Bunce and Jay Backstrand. Florea is an adventurous man. He walked the Lewis and Clark Trail across the western U.S. to St. Louis; walked across Israel where he maintains a studio near the Sea of Galilee; served as the first man on the board of directors of the Central Oregon League of Women Voters; is a decorated Vietnam veteran, a long distance, third world traveler/teacher, and is a grand storyteller of each

experience. Foremost, Florea is an accomplished artist whose expressionistic, acrylic paintings, suggesting folk art and appearing at Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery (upper level), reflect his most enduring love – painting stories of places about which he cares deeply. The images reveal many of those places – the colorful, wide-open, memorable and historic spaces of Central and Eastern Oregon. Bend artist Pat Oertley’s brightly-colored, abstract paintings show layered, geometric shapes and other forms. Applying thinned acrylic paints, she lays the colors over one another, creating depth and accenting found, suggested shapes within the art, she then overlays colorful, thin strips of paper,

sunriver nature center

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

Through the lens of a naturalist By Amanda Accamando, Nature Center Manager Wake at dawn and feed a hungry owl. Spend the morning leading campers in nature hikes and activities. Assist in a health checkup of a golden eagle after lunch. Round out the afternoon by leading a group of junior naturalists in an amphibian survey on Lake Aspen. It’s all in a day’s work for a Sunriver Nature Center naturalist. Each year, three seasonal naturalists join the Sunriver Nature Center team for an exciting summer in Sunriver. Over the course of three months, our naturalists will lead dozens of educational

programs such as kid camps and family eco bike tours, interact with hundreds of Nature Center visitors, field countless questions about butterflies and toads, and care for the center’s resident raptors, frogs and snakes. Each day presents new questions, unique experiences, and learning opportunities for our naturalists and is guaranteed never to be dull. Although our naturalists come from different backgrounds and geographic areas they all possess a passion for the natural world and a deep desire to share that passion and knowledge with others. This summer we were fortunate to have Lauren Christy,

Niki Endler and Erin Hullinger who form the backbone of our Summer naturalist team. I sat down with each of them as they reflected on their summer: Question: Which summer program did you personally enjoy the most? Niki: I enjoyed my junior naturalist group the most – the kids were really invested and showed a lot of enthusiasm for our scientific experiment on Belding’s ground squirrels. Meeting with my four students once a week for two months allowed us to really get to know one another while focusing on our project. Erin: I enjoyed our daily Bird of Prey talks, especially with our Swainson’s hawk. It was a fun opportunity to provide visitors a window into his life as an individual and contrast that with wild hawk behavior and habits. I loved answering kids’ questions and hopefully sparking an interest in science and conservation in them. Question: Can you share a memorable or exciting moment that you had with a Nature Center visitor? Lauren: A memorable moment for me was seeing the shocked and happy reactions of visitors when they found out

that four trumpeter swan cygnets were born instead of just two. Erin: We encounter many visitors that have snake and bee phobias. I love when it is quiet in the Nature Center and I am able to take out our rubber boa and explain its mellow demeanor and encourage fearful people to just observe him – baby steps towards understanding such interesting animals in a non-threatening setting. Similarly with bees – it is gratifying to interpret our beehive’s behaviors and the roles of resident worker bees so that visitors are able to see them as family-oriented animals instead

of stinging menaces. Question: How have you grown or what lessons have you learned from your time at the Nature Center this summer? Niki: I learned that we live in a wild, interconnected world and there is so much to learn and explore in this life. Erin: I was able to develop my skills as an interpreter so that I am comfortable facilitating discussions with all ages. I have also embraced admitting when I don’t know something and following up with research to deliver a fact-based response. I have also greatly developed my skills as an animal caretaker, especially with raptors. I hope I am able to continue interacting with raptors in a future career – fingers crossed! Although our summer naturalists will be moving on soon, their passion, expertise, and energy has surely made a lasting impact on the thousands of visitors to the Sunriver Nature Center this summer.

Astronomy Weekend celebration in September By Bob Grossfeld, Observatory Manager Can you believe the eclipse has come and gone? What a crazy time at the Oregon Observatory. Be sure to send us some of your cool pictures to add to our collection. This year has gone by so quickly. As we head into September, we are looking forward to the nice cool fall nights. It is actually my favorite time of year in Sunriver. The weather remains good, the crowds are gone, and the fall sky starts to appear. We have some very cool special programs all month. We start with Labor Day weekend, which is our Astronomy Weekend, and will be doing special programs during our Friday-Sunday evening viewing starting at 9 p.m.

We will be celebrating NASA’s Voyager Mission, as we mark over 40 years of exploration. Then, on Sept. 16 at 8 p.m., we have our special salute to NASA’s Cassini Mission, as it ends its mission exploring Saturn. Be sure to check out our website for all the happenings and details of our September programs. Saturn will remain available right at the start of our programs, and will remain a great telescope object this month, but many of the fall time constellations are starting to get higher in the sky. Many of our favorite galaxies are now available to us, so those will be objects that we will be viewing during the fall. One of my favorite targets will be right overhead during September, the Veil Nebula. This remnant of super

novae is a great object to look at. It shows a great spider web of gas within the pattern of stars. This object is so big, we can only look at parts of it in our telescopes. Be sure to check this object out when there is little or no moon, as the moon light drowns out the view of this incredible object. We hope to continue to raise funds for the new expansion of the observatory. The new expansion will allow more access to our solar program, and expand the evening viewing experience. I hope you will consider helping us reach our goal, and be part of something extremely special. This fall we are planning some upgrades and maintenance to the observatory. We are working on doing some major maintenance to the telescopes, including equip-

ment updates. We have a wide variety of programs coming as we wind down 2017. Our hours will change after Labor Day, as we will be doing solar viewing Wednesday-Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our evening programs will be on Wednesday and Saturday nights, from 8-10pm.

We are going to continue our members only nights from 8 to 10 p.m. on Thursday. Be sure to check out our schedule for all the upcoming programs on our website. I am super excited about our fall season, and I look forward to seeing you soon at the observatory.

Volunteers battle Sunriver’s invasive plants Noxious weeds are non-native invasive species that threaten Sunriver’s fragile native ecosystem. Spotted knapweed – easily identified when in bloom by its distinctive purple flower – is the most aggressive noxious invader in Sunriver. With no natural enemies or competing agents, the plant can quickly take over a landscape. “Not on my watch,” said Sunriver owner John Barone. Barone is among the 50 owners and representatives from the Sunriver Fire and Police departments, Sunriver Nature Center and SROA staff who participated in Sunriver Owners Association’s (SROA) 17th Annual War on Weeds held July 28–Aug. 4. Armed with maps, bags provided by SOLVE (a nonprofit organization that supports noxious weed removal state-wide), gloves, hats and bug spray, volunteers have been working to remove noxious weeds from Sunriver’s traffic circles, roadsides, pathways and common areas. “Our community’s natural landscapes are healthier and more beautiful than ever, thanks to our dedicated volunteers,” reported Patti Gentiluomo, SROA director of Natural Re-

sources. “Volunteers filled over 325 bags with noxious weeds. It was a tremendous effort and we are grateful to those who pulled on common areas and to the homeowners who worked on their private properties to prevent noxious weeds from going to seed this year.”

Volunteers gathered for a picnic at Mary McCallum Park on Aug. 4 to celebrate their efforts, and many volunteers continued to pull beyond the official end of War on Weeds week. “It’s a rewarding experience,” Barone remarked. “I get to be Turn toWeeds, page 11

Sunriver randonneuring group rides Join others in Sunriver who enjoy the sport of randonneuring for a 200km Brevet and 100km Rando intro ride on Sept. 16. Randonneuring is long-distance, unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events they are part of a long tradition that

dates back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy. The free event starts at 8 a.m. in The Village at Sunriver parking lot and makes a double loop ride that includes a loop up and around Mt. Bachelor. There will be a pre-ride meeting providing a brief history on the sport, types and lengths of rides. Both rides are on mostly lowtraffic roads, and there will be two choices for the 100km ride. Ride profiles will be emailed to interested riders. Participants should email their first and last name to centoregonrando@ gmail.com for more details.

Antique farm tools arrive at Second Tern Thrift Store By Wes Perrin A collection of antique farm tools is now available at Sunriver’s Second Tern Thrift Store – providing further evidence that unusual merchandise can frequently arrive unexpectedly. Included in the collection is a three-tined pitchfork, a hay rake, sheep shearing shears, hay hooks, a clam rake, a buck saw and several other handheld tools. While they may not be especially practical for local gardening, they are often sought by collectors and interior decorators. “They are in surprisingly good condition considering that they could be around 100 years old,” said Colly Rosenberg, Tern manager. “Once again it shows

that the variety of merchandise we offer is pretty amazing.” Historians say farm tools date back to the times of the Egyptians, Incas and other ancient peoples who made hoes, spades and scoops from wood, stone or bone. Early sickle blades were made of flint. Today, most collectors con-

centrate on tools from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century. While many are offered inexpensively on the internet, occasionally an item will have a surprising price tag. One recent example, seen on a collector’s web page, was a large, decrepitlooking, rust-coated saw blade priced at $175. The number of different farm tools made over the years is well into the thousands, or more likely, tens of thousands. Some idea of how vast the total might be, can be seen in the collection of an Idaho couple who have amassed some 3,500 farm implement wrenches alone.

TO RECEIVE SUNRIVER SURVEY ELECTRONICALLY SROA NEWS – Owners still have an opportunity to let the Sunriver Owners Association know if they’d like to receive the 2017 Owner Survey electronically and fill out online. Please email infosroa@srowners.org with your name and Sunriver property (e.g.: 1 Happy Lane) and mailing address so we can add you to the electronic survey list. The deadline to sign up has been extended to Sept. 27. You must be the primary owner of record for a property to receive the survey. Conducted by DRC Research in Bend, the online survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete. The information gleaned is important to the board and staff for understanding demographics, amenity use, gauge how owners feel on various topics and help plan future projects or improvements. “It’s important for owners to shape the future of Sunriver by expressing their opinions,” said JD Cornutt, Owner/CEO of DRC Research. “This questionnaire was developed primarily for an online experience and saves SROA money by not having to print and mail one.” For more information, contact SROA Communications Department at 541-585-2937.

Sunriver Gallery highlights wood, photographic art Activities may be winding down a bit as summer fades into the rear-view mirror, but at the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver, fall brings new opportunities for celebration. Come and visit the artists at the gallery on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 4 to 6 p.m. and celebrate new artistic offerings. Along with all the fun, enjoy beverages, beer, wine and some great food. Featured artists for September are wood artist Greg Cotton and photographer Richard Frederick. Wood artist Greg Cotton is a longtime and very popular artist at the gallery. His “functional art pieces” range from beautiful kitchen cutting boards, trays and other items to carefully crafted games for the entire family. Some of his most popular

items include a clever solution to carry wine glasses and a bottle of wine. Game players will love Cotton’s Chinese checkers, mancala and cribbage boards. Children and adults alike are also fascinated by the artist’s intriguing and challenging wooden puzzles. Cotton likes to use exotic woods to bring out their natural colors in intricate patterns. Christmas shoppers will be able to get a head start on a perfect gift. Photographer Richard Frederick loves to travel and capture photos of the many marvels of the world. His joy is to utilize his scientific background to document the beauty of the places he visits. Frederick is on the elusive trail of the beautiful quality of light. He refers to lights as the

photographer’s opium. The artist has just returned from an extended European trip where he has been able to capture light in a unique way. Gallery visitors are often fooled into thinking that the light is coming from behind the art piece. Come and view these special pieces of art, plus meet other gallery artists to learn about their works as well. In September, the gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and closed on Tuesdays.

The cost is $20 per person. Men and women in the Sunriver area are welcome to attend. Goodman-Campbell’s presentation, “Public Lands of Oregon’s High Desert,” is about the public lands of Oregon’s high desert, their history, and the value public lands provide to our community in Central Oregon. It will include a virtual tour of Central and Eastern Oregon, with awe-inspiring photos of some of the most spectacular places in Oregon. ONDA is focused on the conservation and stewardship of Oregon’s desert lands. Some of the major accomplishments of the organization included getting Steens Mountain designated as Oregon’s first desert wilderness area; helping to remove all the obsolete barbed wire fence from the Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge;

and spearheading the successful efforts to protect the Oregon Badlands Wilderness and the Spring Basin Wilderness on the Lower John Day River. Most recently, ONDA’s work has focused on safeguarding American-owned public lands and keeping them in public ownership. You can find more information about ONDA on their website: www.ONDA.org Goodman-Campbell is a third-generation Oregonian who grew up in Portland. She moved to Bend in 2006 after graduating from Colorado College with a degree in Political Science. Gena has spent her career working to protect public lands in Central Oregon by bringing people together to find common ground. She helped form a diverse coalition of supporters – including ranchers and more than 200 local business owners – to protect the Oregon Badlands Wilderness in 2009. She now serves as the Public Lands Coordinator for the Oregon Natural Desert Association, where she has worked for 10 years. Her current role focuses on supporting local leaders throughout the state who are speaking up for Oregon’s public lands and keeping them in public hands.

Angler meeting on Spey casting On Thursday, Sept. 21, the Sunriver Anglers would like to invite everyone to their monthly meeting held at the SHARC at 7 p.m. This month’s speaker will be Brian Chou, an enthusiastic angler from the Portland area. His presentation is titled, “How to apply and utilize the two handed Spey casting approach in fishing.” The two-handed Spey technique allows more powerful casts and avoids obstacles on the shore by keeping most of the line in front of the angler. This type of casting is often used for fishing large rivers for steelhead and salmon. An avid chaser of the elusive steelhead, Chou is a Federation of Fly Fishers certified casting instructor who excels in the two handed Spey fly rod techniques. Chou will be outside of SHARC at 6 p.m. demonstrating and teaching this two handed fly fishing style. Everyone is welcome. Meet our members in the amphitheater prior to the meeting inside. He began as a guide but now finds himself instructing, photo-

graphing, writing, fly tying and working alongside fly fishing companies to develop products that help anglers enjoy their time on the water. He now spends a lot of time as an ambassador and mentor for Soul River Runs Deep, a nonprofit engaging inner city youth and US veterans to find peace and direction through fly fishing. Chou is passionate about teaching and spreading the love of outdoors through fly fishing. Standing in the water working hard to get that strike can be great therapy. He finds himself more as a mentor, teaching the application of tactics by understanding what your quarry wants. Chou grew up in the TriCities area, learning to fish on the lower Yakima River for bass. Now residing in the Portland area, his home waters are the Clackamas and Sandy rivers, but he can also be found on the many great steelhead rivers of Northern Oregon and Southwest Washington. Chou is a professional fly tier as well. He brings unique

facets of creativity, strategy, and ingenuity to his fly tying. Traditional or unconventional? Both of these are incorporated into his flies. For him, fly fishing is a constantly evolving sport. A little experimentation is fun. Are his fly patterns a piece of art, are they functional, are they based on science or some combinations of all above? He takes all of these factors, plus thousands of hours on the water to create a fly that will work. Being a basketball fan, and a resident of Portland, he has created a fly that fish love. The fly’s name: Rip City. He works with many fly fishing companies product testing and consulting on their fly rods and lines. Chou has had many articles and pictures published in “Steelheader’s Journal,” the

“Salmon and Steelhead Journal,” as well as other fly fishing magazines. With his science background, he has written on the use of the different types of lines and shooting heads. Putting the fly in the right place, at the right time is important. That may be getting the fly two feet under the surface, when the current is strong. Knowing what lines and heads are available can make this task a lot easier. Come ready to ask questions. A final quote from Chou, “These three goals; effective, efficient, effortless, are what I strive to achieve when I approach the water. We all work way too hard for our free time as it is. No need for fishing to add to everyday exhaustion and stress, right?”

According to Earth 911, the easiest thing to do is to just keep them as a souvenir, but if you’re desperate to declutter, here are tips for what to do with them: • Save them for 2024. On April 8, 2024, the path of totality will carve a path from Texas to Maine right through the Midwest. IMPORTANT: For your eclipse glasses to still be good 8 years from now, they must be manufactured to the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard adopted in 2015 (most of this year’s glasses complied with that standard, but look for that number to be printed somewhere on your glasses to be sure). According to NASA, glasses with ISO 12312-2 filters will be good “indefinitely.” • Donate them. It’s not finalized yet, but Astronomers Without Borders plan to gather eclipse glasses to send to schools in South America, where the next total solar eclipse will cast its shadow in July 2019. Keep an eye on their Facebook page or you can also drop them off at the Sunriver Owners Association admin office and we’ll send them along for you. • Remove the solar filter lenses. Most of the commercially produced glasses are mostly cardboard which can be mixed Turn to Glasses, page 17

store and medical clinic to Sunriver Brewing Company’s brew facility, a U.S. post office and Three Rivers School. It is also one of two entrances to Caldera Springs. When school is in session and tourists are in town, the area struggles with congestion. The business park only has one entrance/exit at a T intersection traffic light on South Century Drive that immediately intersects with Venture Lane, which is controlled by stop signs. Doty noted that it isn’t uncommon for backed-up cars to spill over from one intersection to another. “Any time you have queued vehicles going into another intersection… you’re going to run into problems,” Doty said. Local business owner John Holland said the congestion is compounded by the business park’s lack of sidewalks and bike lanes and can be dangerous for kids going to Three Rivers School. While Holland said there hasn’t been any serious accidents, there have been “so many close calls that we’re waiting for something to happen.” The business park continues to get busier as the community grows – with plans for a food cart court next to the post office and Sunriver Brewing adding a tasting room by next spring. “We’re not a sleepy little recreational community anymore,” said Kent Elliott, executive director of the Sunriver Chamber of Commerce. Holland and four other business owners in the area formed a committee to look at possible solutions to the congestion in the business park, including making Venture Lane one way (basically a giant traffic circle) and additional entrance and exit points. The county road department will review those ideas. It will likely take a month or two to find a suitable contractor, then another few months to look at the traffic flow before formalizing plans to improve access not only for vehicles, but for cyclists and pedestrians as well.

A few years ago, Adam Sawyer drove 3,200 miles throughout the state of Oregon in search of the best waterfall hikes. In just over two weeks, he and his girlfriend hiked more than 90 miles, visiting 63 waterfalls at 40 sites throughout Central and Southern Oregon — rounding out his recent visits to falls along the Coast Range, Mt. Hood and the Gorge, Willamette Valley, Greater Portland and Eastern Oregon.

By Jen Anderson, Travel Oregon

He’s since published “Hiking Waterfalls in Oregon” and “Best Outdoor Adventures Near Portland.” He also leads Portland epicurean tours and wine and waterfall tours in his spare time. One of his favorite areas to explore, he says, is the Umpqua River drainage in Southern Oregon. The Rogue River also contains more waterfalls than other rivers in the Pacific Northwest. “I think you get the most bang for the buck,” says Sawyer, who quit his day job in information technology six years ago to write outdoor travel guides from his home base in Portland. “There are waterfalls everywhere.

And they’re more accessible than any other place in Oregon.” On top of the sheer beauty and accessibility, this region is extra special for visitors because it’s less traveled than other popular waterfall destinations, he says. He remembers one afternoon in particular when he spent five hours at a waterfall, teaching his girlfriend how to skip rocks, without another soul in sight. That’s especially the case in the fall, when the savvy waterfall hunter just might feel like they’ve stumbled onto their own little piece of paradise.

Here are five of Sawyer’s must-see waterfalls along the Rogue and Umpqua Rivers: Fall Creek Falls About 30 miles east of Roseburg, hiking the 1.8 miles out-andback to Fall Creek Falls is like a journey through time. The trail leads through a narrow bedrock crevice, onto trails with massive honeycomb-shaped pillars jutting out, then along idyllic beaches lined with cedars. Switchbacks lead to the top three tiers of the 120-foot falls, which pour into the mighty North Umpqua River. Columnar and Surprise Falls These waterfalls will change your definition of a waterfall. Columnar Falls has an ethereal appearance, with springs coming out of the hillside and vanishing into the ground. And Surprise Falls emerges from just underneath the trail, on the way to Columnar. Both are easy to access, just a half mile out. The trailhead starts at Umpqua Hot Springs, which allows nudity, so watch out for other surprises.

Watson Falls At 293 feet, Watson Falls is one of the tallest in the state, impressive in both its sheer magnitude and its lush surroundings. The cascades gush through old-growth trees and seriously giant moss-covered boulders for a

picture-perfect shot. Take it all in both at the viewing area along the mile-long hike, as well as from a side trail, which offers a much more rewarding, close-up view. Turn to Waterfalls, page 21

Rough Rider Falls Twenty miles northwest of Crater Lake, Rough Rider Falls is just 30 feet high but the reward is in the journey. The 6.5-mile hike leads through ponderosa and fragrant cedar trees, passes a few unnamed falls and stops at the bottom, where a downed log provides a path to a small island in the middle of the river. It’s a unique vantage point to gaze at the stunning falls without another soul around, and rejuvenate before the return. Mill Creek/Barr Creek Falls In the opposite direction, 20 miles southwest of Crater Lake in Prospect, these twin

powerhouses release their torrents forcefully into the Rogue River for a thrilling sight. At 173 feet, Mill Creek is a sheer drop to the canyon floor; at 240 feet, Barr Creek flows down in three cascades. From the Prospect State Scenic Viewpoint, you can catch both falls in a 1.6-mile round trip marked by fascinating geological treasures. Wherever you go, however you get there, make sure to bring trail maps and critical supplies, and leave no trace. Get out there!

Author, professor, theologian coming to Sunriver

The 40th Annual Sunriver Music Festival kicked off with Kip Winger introducing the world premiere of his transcendent piece, “A Parting Grace” on opening night, Aug. 11. Maestro George Hanson and the festival orchestra continue to make August in Sunriver a classical time for musical lovers.

SRMF season continues with fall offerings While many Central Oregon summer guests think that the Sunriver Music Festival’s 40th Anniversary wrapped up in August, the festival’s successful season continues with a series of events this fall and winter. “It was a magnificent summer season thanks to our guest artists and our renowned festival orchestra,” said Pam Beezley, festival executive director. “Maestro George Hanson continues to deliver classical magic for our Bend and Sunriver fans and the numerous visitors who attend our concerts every year.” But Beezley is quick to add that the magic is not over. On Sunday, Sept. 10 at 3 p.m. the

festival will hold their annual Inman Ranch Party, an enjoyable gathering at an Alpaca Ranch just a few miles east of Bend. A fun concert in the barn with Central Oregon’s favorite songstress, Lindy Gravelle, a whole hog barbecue with all the trimmings catered by Bend’s Baldy’s Barbeque, and a memorable setting makes this an exclusive opportunity to share time with other festival supporters. Tickets are $75 per person and some remain. Call 541593-9310 for tickets or reserve online: www.sunrivermusic.org/ inman-ranch-party In December, the festival’s popular Fireside Winter Con-

cert series returns Friday, Dec. 1, with the annual Christmas Concert featuring rock violinist Aaron Meyer. This annual event always sells out; tickets will go on sale Sept. 1. Looking ahead to 2018, the festival will continue with its annual Valentine’s Dinner & Dance with the Salem Big Band in February. In March, the second annual Piano Showcase will return to the Tower Theatre. This two-day fusion of genre and virtuosity was a big hit. To learn more about each concert or reserve tickets, go to www. sunrivermusic.org or call 541593-9310 or email tickets@ sunrivermusic.org

Sunriver Stars Community Theater announces ticket sales You will love the upcoming production of “The Secret Garden” to be presented at The Door by the Sunriver Stars Community Theater on Oct. 27-29. Tickets are on sale now at www.sunriverstars.org Directed by Victoria Kristy, with Gail Gibson as assistant director, the musical is a charming, upbeat adaptation of the literary classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett. As the story goes, Mary Lennox is sent to live in Victorian England after her parents die in India of cholera. Misselthwaite Manor turns out to be a gloomy fortress. Her uncle is rarely home and his young son, Colin, never leaves his room, convinced he’s an incurable invalid. Mary discovers

a strange walled garden that has been locked up for years. With the gardener’s apprentice, Dickon, a lad who can talk to the animals, Mary coaxes the garden back to life. The garden seems to have a wonderful, magical effect on all who come into it, allowing Mary to help restore Colin to health and a reunion with his father. This is a real “feel good” show. It is filled with characters, young, older, grumpy, snooty, forlorn, curious, loving, wise and all delightful. The score is bright and whimsical, and will have the actors under the musical direction of Sharon Sackett and the choreography of Rich Mundy, singing and dancing their way into your hearts.

ple may be cleared, for some it is not the best option. Sometimes stretching alone does not release muscle tension enough and using trigger point release techniques will help reestablish proper movement patterns and pain free movement. With foam rolling, muscle knots are broken up allowing proper blood flow and body function. The ultimate goal of any recovery technique is to get you back to normal functioning as if nothing ever went wrong. How does self-myofascial release work? Healthy normal muscles should be soft and supple. Muscles experience flexibility loss, adhesions, and painful movement if they are not taken care of properly. With deep tissue pressure, it causes compression that helps breaks up or relaxes tight muscles and the adhesions that has formed between the muscle layers and the surrounding tissues. With the compression of the self-myofascial release the normal blood flow is allowed and the healthy tissue is restored.

Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs. A local group has formed and will host its first meeting on Sept. 12 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Sunriver Library meeting room. The library is located in the Sunriver Business Park at 56855 Venture lane. The program model involves reading the “Great Decisions” briefing book, watching the DVD and meeting in a Discussion Group to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today.

the roller and your bodyweight. You should roll slowly, no more than one inch per second. When you find areas that are tight or painful, pause for several seconds and relax as much as possible. You should slowly start to feel the muscle releasing, and after 5-30 seconds the discomfort or pain should lessen. Never roll a joint or bone. Avoid rolling your lower back. You may feel sore for a few days afterwards. However, the muscles should feel less tense and have some tightness released. Drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and eat healthy. This will help to flush your system and fuel your muscles more effectively. Give it 24-48 hours before focusing on the same area again.

Data shows how traffic is flowing around the state SALEM – In an update to Oregon’s traffic and road conditions website, TripCheck, motorists can now see how fast (or slow) traffic is moving on nearly all roads across Oregon. Previously, this feature was only available in the Portland metro area and was called the Portland Speed Map. Now, a new statewide layer of data is using near real-time traffic congestion information to reflect movement on roadways throughout

Oregon. ODOT has partnered with Esri to provide the traffic data. When you visit TripCheck. com, simply zoom in to see the traffic flow on the various roads. Traffic is displayed as a percentage of free-flow speeds (frequently the speed limit or more practically, how fast cars tend to travel when unencumbered by other vehicles). The streets are color-coded as follows: • Green (fast): 85-100% of

There, you’ll also see another significant enhancement to TripCheck: the interactive map legend. The map layer controls are now integrated with the legend, simplifying the layout and providing a cleaner mobile experience. You can click on layers such as Waze Traffic to add or remove information. TripCheck will receive another update later this year with a freshened interface for searching text reports. This update will allow users to create custom queries to search for incidents, weather, cameras and more based on their criteria.

Volunteer writer Kathie Thatcher puts her humorous spin on the monthly logs provided by the Sunriver Police Department. This is only a sampling of the month’s total call log. 7/1 - Suspect caught shoplifting and was trespassed from the Country Store. 7/1 - Report of a lost or stolen wedding ring from vehicle on Little Lane. Someone is probably in trouble. 7/2 - Two vehicles parked on Shamrock Lane during a tennis tournament even though there were plenty of parking places available in the Fort Rock park area. Citations issued. 7/2 - Report of a political sign at a rental on Nine Iron. The guests were advised that such signs are not allowed in Sunriver. They promised to contact the owners for removal. 7/3 - Report of a drone flying off of Cardinal Landing Bridge. The responsible person was contacted and advised that he was in violation of both FAA and Sunriver R&Rs. He told us that he didn’t know he was so close to the airport and also didn’t realize that horses ride through the area. 7/4 - Report of multiple dogs barking outside home on Redwood Lane. This is an ongoing problem. Officer was unable to secure the numerous hounds in the back yard. A citation was left on the front door. As officer was leaving, he observed the homeowner driving in. She stated that she had left the dogs outside while she was getting their medicine and admitted that they had been outside barking for more than 35 minutes. 7/4 - RP on Cottonwood reported contractors in violation of Sunriver rules by working on the Independence Day holiday. The foreman was contacted and agreed to shut down for the day. He said he suspected such a rule existed, but didn’t bother to check. 7/5 - Officer issued a citation to car parked illegally on Goldfinch Lane. RP notified us that the car belonged to someone floating the river. RP warned the driver against parking there so he circled around and parked after the RP had left. Some people just can’t take no for an answer. 7/8 – Report of a stolen Kia Sorrento from the basketball court parking lot near SHARC. It turned out that it had not been stolen and was located in the village parking lot. Oops. 7/8 - Report of numerous cars parked on the roadway at Nine Iron Lane. We contacted owners who began figuring out where to put the vehicles as we left. 7/10 - RP reported that her locked car was broken into and a CD player stolen. She also noted that her shed had been entered and four hookahs taken from inside. We told her we’d investigate the Hookah heist. 7/12 - Officer noticed a car parked completely off the driveway of home on Duck Pond Lane and asked residents if they could move it into a parking space. Three hours later the car was still there even though there was parking available. This time they got a citation. 7/15 - A large group of people reported playing corn hole and totally blocking the street in front of their rental as well as the neighbor’s driveway on East Park Lane. Police had to respond twice to this location. The group eventually moved off the street. The rental agent was contacted. 7/20 - Officer dispatched to home on Klamath Lane about a cat in the crawlspace. We were unable to coax the kitty out. The owner will continue trying. 7/22 - Three noise complaints to same address on Parkland Lane. After our third visit, a citation was issued and rental agent notified. 7/25 - A customer of Sun Country Tours caused damage by kicking in a restroom door. Officer contacted the female subject when she returned from the boat tour. She admitted causing the damage and was cited and released. 7/25 - Report of an open fire on Wallowa Lane. The renters had a propane fueled fire pit in the lane while playing games with several families. Fire department warned them about the fire and SRPD warned them about the noise and blocking the lane. 7/26 - After being refused further sale of alcohol, a male subject went inside village establishment yelling and cursing, causing public alarm and fear in one of the employees as well as the patrons. After leaving, he then returned and continued yelling profanities. He was cited for disorderly conduct. Turn to Police, page 29

SUNRIVER SCENE â&#x20AC;¢ SEPTEMBER 2017

Author events include Sunriver stop by Craig Johnson By Deon Stonehouse On Sept. 7 Craig Johnson gives two presentations at SHARC for “The Western Star,” latest in his Longmire series and inspiration for the hit TV drama “Longmire.” Presentations will be at 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. Reservations are required; call 541-593-2525 or email sunriverbooks@sunr iverbooks.com. We have spaces available for the matinee and, with changing plans, it’s possible space will open for the evening show. “The Western Star” moves between two time frames, current day Sheriff Walt Longmire, deputy Vic Moretti and former Sheriff Lucian Connolly. The group heads to Cheyenne where they unite with Henry Standing Bear and combine a visit to Walt’s daughter with an attempt to stop the release of a prisoner. Along the way, they meet some officers for a drink and a little conversation. One of the cops notices a picture of the Western Star in 1972 with a group of Wyoming sheriffs and one lone deputy, Walt Longmire. Memories take Walt back to his first days as a deputy, boarding the legendary train with his mentor, Sheriff Lucian Connolly, for a trip not all the lawmen survive. Moving between 1972 and current day, the story shifts from Walt’s beginnings as a cop to his efforts to keep a killer behind bars. This is a page turner with a lot of heart. Saturday, Sept. 9 at 5 p.m. Elena Passarello presents her delightful book “Animals Strike Curious Poses.” Flitting through history, the book is full of essays on a diverse group of animals starting with a woolly mammoth. A playful essay follows the fate of Harriet, a tortoise from the Galapagos voyaging on the Beagle with Charles Darwin. Told from the tortoise’s perspective, it tells of her jilted love for the young Darwin, and continues as her travels take her from England to Australia. Mozart’s starling is a fascinating look at one of time’s most brilliant composers and a reach across the divide between species to a sparrow full of birdsong. This is a collection anyone interested in animals will find enchanting. Passarello will also appear in Bend at the downtown Deschutes Public Library on Sunday from 2 to 3 p.m., if you are unable to

homicide unit in Oslo, Mia was his best investigator. Now they are needed again. Holger and Mia are interesting and likeable. Their back stories give depth to the characters and contribute to the puzzle. Dedicated to solving the crimes set before him, Munch has always let his job come first. It cost him a wife and put a sense of distance in the relationship with his daughter. Even now, a decade later, Holger is still not resolved to the divorce. He is not making the same mistake with his granddaughter, Marion. He adores the child and would do anything for her. Mia has her own baggage. She was also brilliant. Highly intuitive, able to see the evil in people, she complemented her boss’ style perfectly. Mia left the force, under a suspicious cloud, to live out her days in a drug and alcohol fueled haze until the 10th anniversary of her sister’s death. On that day, Mia planned to join her twin. It would take something big to derail Mia’s suicide plans. Holger is crossing Norway with just that something; the murder of a child, indications that more will follow, and the need for the best and brightest to stop the killer. Holger is shocked by Mia’s condition; the fit cop he knew wasn’t involved with pills and booze. Still she has it, that ability to see the things others missed. Soon the team is reassembled. Will they be in time to save the next victim? The threads of this story go in a million directions, until the author brings them all back together as he reaches a climax sure to leave the reader breathless. Banned book week Books invite the reader to understand a different point of view,

discover new ideas and relate to others in a more empathetic way. Banning books is wrong. Limiting our choices, directing what we can and cannot read, is control that does not belong in a free society. Book Clubs are a great way to stretch our reading, perhaps read a bit of someone else’s choice and discover a good book we might otherwise not have read. The broader our reading, the more we are exposed to other ideas, the better our understanding of the world. Every year we acknowledge Banned Book Week by discussing a banned book. Sept. 18 the Fiction and Classics Book clubs combine to discuss “All The King’s Men” by Robert Penn Warren. Set in the 1930s it tells the story of Willie Talos’ (or Stark depending on the version you are reading) rise to power as governor of Louisiana. Talos is most probably a thinly fictionalized version of Sen. Huey Long, a charismatic politician who shook up the status quo. Long was a complex politician, a man of the people and a populist but not immune to corruption. He was assassinated in 1935. Willie does a lot of good for the people but he is not opposed to using whatever method for achieving his goals is the most efficient; even one not necessarily considered the most correct. Willie is charismatic, able to give rousing speeches that bring his people to their feet. The story’s other main character is a newspaperman who goes to work for Willie; it is through him we see the historic context and local influences. Both men are fully rendered, complicated rich characters. Sunriver Books & Music is located in building 25 in The Village at Sunriver.

JFK legacy lives on in exhibit PORTLAND – One hundred years after his birth, and more than a half-century after his shocking death, John Fitzgerald Kennedy remains a subject of endless fascination for millions of Americans. The youngest president ever elected, Kennedy’s 1,037-day administration was marked by great hope as well as great tension. How he reached the White House is a story of both privilege and determination. The second-born son of a rich and influential father, Kennedy’s rise to power may be seen as inevitable, but his ascension was hard fought as he persevered through severe health problems and religious discrimination. The Oregon Historical Society presents an exhibition on the life of this iconic president, High Hopes: The Journey of John F. Kennedy, through Nov. 12.

While much of his life has been overshadowed by his assassination, Kennedy’s achievements during his presidency were significant and are still affecting history today. This exhibition explores Kennedy’s early life, his road to the presidency, and the changes he effected during his time in office. With the high hopes of the country behind him, Kennedy made a commitment

to changing the world for the better and, in his legacy, continues to live on. This exhibition, the largest centennial exhibit outside of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in Boston, features more than 150 rare artifacts and manuscripts from the Mark Family Collection, the Shapell Manuscript Foundation, and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, and the Oregon Historical Society collection. A bold, unique design draws visitors through the life of this enigmatic figure and mixes state of the art interactive elements with iconic moving image footage. Exhibition highlights include the following • Kennedy’s rocking chair: Suffering from a debilitating back injury after his service in World War II, Kennedy found relief from sitting in Turn to Exhibit, page 37

SR Men’s Golf Club evens annual Sunriver Cup series By Paul Grieco Congratulations to the members of this year’s winning Sunriver Cup team for finally bringing the cup home to Sunriver after three losses and a tie with Crosswater. In Ryder Cup style play, the first day at the Meadows pitted eight, twoman teams from each club, counting one net better ball. Sunriver came out on top 6 to 2. In 16 singles matches on the following day at Crosswater, Sunriver narrowly prevailed 9

Wireless tips for boomers There are currently more than 93 million Americans in the U.S. over age 55, according to Census data, and the vast majority (74 percent) of them have a smartphone. And that number keeps growing. In addition, baby boomers spend an average of 149 minutes a day on their smartphones – about as much as smartphone-obsessed millennials at 171 minutes per day. Despite these figures, and the fact that members of this generation were the inventors of the wireless industry,

many mobile plans for Americans aged 55 plus are still designed for a time before the Internet. They come with limited minutes, and no data. “The fact is that many ‘senior’ plans offer limited services that only work with basic phones. This doesn’t make sense for most of today’s modern, mobile adults,” says John Legere, CEO and president of T-Mobile. “Unfortunately, many carriers and plans treat these generations like they’re stuck in the past.” But even without the dumbed down “senior”

plans, empty nesters aren’t given great options. When kids leave the house and are off the family plan, most major carriers raise the per line

best deal for your needs? When looking for a plan, consider the following. • How many lines do you need? Virtually every wireless provider has a lower per line cost for four lines instead of two. So, if you only need two lines, look for a plan that won’t penalize you for not having four. • If you’re a frequent traveler – whether it’s for business or pleasure – ensure your PHOTO: LUENGO_UA/STOCK.ADOBE.COM wireless plan offers the perks cost by almost 60 percent, you need to avoid sticker costing customers a hefty shock on your bills when you sum when it’s time to pay the get home.

Letters from readers Celebration of life for passing of Jim McMurtry

On Friday, Sept. 1 there will be an open house at 9 Blue Goose to honor Jim McMurtry’s life. The informal event (no eulogies or speeches) will be for friends and family to gather and celebrate. “One of my dad’s greatest pleasures over the past few years was hanging out in the garage and brewing beer together,” said son Peter McMurtry. “To honor dad, I have brewed up a batch of a light summer beer to share.” Beer, wine, juice and light snacks/hors d’oeuvres will also be served during the 3 to 7 p.m. gathering. As longtime Sunriver residents for 22 years, Jim and Mary Katherine McMurtry were strong supporters of the Sunriver Music Festival, the Sunriver Nature Center and Sunriver Owners Association. “My mom always baked cookies at Christmas to bring to SROA. My dad love this community and always praised the work SROA did and could shut down any critic. I thank you all By Susan Berger

for the part you played in their lives,” said Patrick McMurtry.

Degradation of the Sunriver experience

Bill Burke, Sunriver The end of the summer season offers local stakeholders an opportunity to assess what worked well and what needs improvement in the future. The good news includes increased visitors, employment opportunities and income for local businesses, great recreational opportunities, family events, and newcomers and returning folks alike. Good news also brings challenges: increased pathway con-

gestion threatening safety; environmental degradation on public and private property, the river and forest; gross parking and traffic congestion and violations; and golf cart pathway misbehavior, among others. Many of these issues are not new to our community but there seems to be general agreement that these problems increased significantly this year. The behaviors, attitudes, and disrespect shown by a small minority of visitors degrade the experiences of the vast majority of guests, permanent residents and homeowners, property managers, public safety staff, small business owners and private/public sector employees. It would be constructive for community stakeholders (SROA, the Resort, public safety, property management companies, the Chamber of Commerce, small business owners, and others) to collectively review what went well and what could be improved upon. Further, I would recommend that the results, recommendations, and plans for implementation of any measures be published for all to review.

From the Editor’s Desk

The eclipse heard ’round the world

he Great American Eclipse came and went – and we all survived. Overall, the region fared pretty well. Yes, in the days preceding and following the eclipse there were some traffic woes… primarily in and around the communities in the path of totality. Midweek prior to the eclipse there were reports of gas shortages in Prineville and Redmond as the masses passed through on their way to various eclipse festivals. Traffic backed up for miles on Highway 26 into Prineville as throngs of festival-goers headed to the Oregon Eclipse Festival (Symbiosis) in Big Summit Prairie in the Ochoco Mountains. Some 40,000 were expected, but some “guestimated” the population was double that amount. By Friday and Saturday much of Central Oregon was quiet… too quiet. Restaurants and grocery stores started to grumble as they had bought extra food for the projected wave of eclipse viewers – many of whom were so intent on getting to their destination they avoided stopping anywhere. Some restaurants were forced to throw food away. Locals celebrated the fact they could easily find a parking spot in downtown Bend. Grocery and retail stores, restaurants and roads were eerily empty. “This is what Bend was like 20 years ago. I love it!” was a common statement on social media sites such as Facebook. It wasn’t until Monday morning of eclipse day that traffic picked up and backed up once again as last-minute eclipse viewers hurried north to get into SUNRIVER SCENE • SEPTEMBER 2017

the path of totality. Sunriver itself didn’t experience a noticeable impact in the way visitor numbers as August is our busiest month of the year anyway. Opting for a “let’s be prepared” approach, the Sunriver Owners Association did post a banner at each entrance into Sunriver and placed signs along River and Deschutes roads noting Sunriver’s “no roadside parking” rule. Sunriver-ites who opted to stay and view the eclipse locally turned it into an opportunity to celebrate – complete with Champagne and hors d’oeuvres. A couple hundred viewers turned out at Fort Rock Park, some watched from SHARC’s amphitheater and about 50 set up at the SROA boat ramp. Even though Sunriver only had 98 percent sun coverage, there were still plenty of ooohs, aahs and wows as everyone looked skyward to watch this relatively rare solar event. As the sun disappeared, someone played the song “Total Eclipse of the Heart” followed by “Here Comes the Sun.” “It was amazing when the temperature dropped to realize how much we rely on the sun for warmth,” said Paul Kimbrel, a Sunriver owner who lives part time in Arizona. He and his wife Holly watched the eclipse from a grass field at the SROA owners boat launch. Evan Green (a resident of Sunriver and Tualatin) set up his dad’s 35mm film camera to capture a time-lapse image of the eclipse. Utilizing a copper tubing frame and some black fabric, Green fabricated a viewing portal for his camera (with a special filter, of course) as well as another filtered portal for viewing the eclipse. “Bob (Grossfeld) at the observatory actually gave me the special camera filter,” he noted. Other viewing hotspots included the Oregon Observatory at the Sunriver Nature Center and behind the www.sunriverowners.org

Resort. Even as the eclipse was ending, plenty of folks remained at the observatory to enjoy viewing sunspots through numerous telescopes fitted with special solar viewing filters. By Monday afternoon following the eclipse traffic started up once again. Highway 97 was bumper-tobumper southbound between Madras and La Pine. Sunriver experienced heavy traffic late Monday as folks ducked off southbound Highway 97 expecting a faster, shortcut route through the community, but only added to the problem by backing up traffic within Sunriver and on South Century and Cottonwood roads. As the Scene went to press, we still had a couple more days before the remainder of eclipse visitors would hit the road for home. Hopefully, some of the them stopped somewhere in Central Oregon for a bite to eat to help out those restaurants that stockpiled extra food. At least the fervor is over for now. The next total eclipse to hit the United States won’t happen until April 8, 2024 and, thankfully, is nowhere near Oregon. Just to be safe, I think I’ll take that day off. Page 39
