Beautiful Crooked River Ranch
Not unlike our National Elections (although I think they actually
campaign all the time) it’s now time to
start thinking about the CRR Board of
Directors (BOD) and Architectural Review Committee (ARC) elections for
September 2016. Candidates need to
have their paperwork submitted to the
Ranch by May 31, 2016 – that’s coming
sooner than we think.
Contrary to common lore (and
if you’ve been to a board meeting you’ll
have seen this in action) it doesn’t require rocket scientists, accountants, or
Inside...
lawyers to serve on the board. It only
takes folks who care about where they
live and want to make a difference. We hear from our residents all
year long; both good and bad. There
are concerns about roads, budgets, the
golf course, commercial zone,
etc. Effectively, someone is asking or
commenting on something about some
part of Ranch all the time. Being on
the BOD offers a real opportunity to
address concerns you see or perceive
involving our community, or, to help
improve on what is already a great
place to live.
If you are one of these folks
who want to make a difference, and
help set the tone and future of the
Ranch, give a board member or Admin
(phone numbers in the Telegraph or on
the CRR website – crookedriverranch.com) a call to find out what it’s
all about. OR, come down to a BOD
meeting (first Monday of the month at
10:00 a.m. and third Monday of the
month at 6:00 p.m.) and ask questions. It’s FREE and no one will bite
– promise… Hope to see you soon.

Hey, where is the Dusty Dog Café?
Community Read author to present at Crooked River Ranch
By D. “Bing” Bingham , author and Mary Hase, Jefferson County Community Read
The 13th Annual Jefferson County Community Read will feature the book by D."Bing"
Bingham, Shaped by the Land, Stories of the rural American West as told in the Dusty Dog Cafe.
These stories are entertaining, short tales
that readers will enjoy perusing.
more than his fair share of time, ears flapping and
coffee cup in hand, while listening to the stories
of the people who have been shaped by this land.
"Hey, where is
the Dusty Dog
Cafe?" That question comes up a
lot. Well, not to be
cryptic, it's everywhere and nowhere. The Dusty
Dog Cafe is an
imaginary
construct existing only
on the web. However, the idea is
based on hundreds
of small town coffee shops around the rural American West.
They're not hard to find.
Bing will give presentations about his
book at Crooked River Ranch, Warm Springs and
Madras through March and April. Currently he is
talking to students in Warm Springs and Madras
about photography skills they might use in the
Community Read Student Photography Project..
He is also reading stories from the book and answering questions about his life as an author and
photographer. Books may be purchased for $12 at
the Jefferson County Library, the Warm Springs
Simply follow the main drag through the
farming/ranching town and look for the restaurant
where the locals gather. You'll know it by the
dusty pickups parked nearby, usually with a dusty
stock dog in the back. Step across the sidewalk
and around the wooden benches.. Then peer
through the gingham-draped windows at the large
mounted buck, elk, antelope or bison.
Inside, the booths are usually made of
wood and circle the walls. In the center of the
room is a long table where the locals—small
town business people and officials, crusty retirees
without much to do or ranch wives and their husbands who are running for parts or making a day
of it in town—gather over an endless cup of coffee to cuss and discuss the events of the day.
It is here, in this tiny coffee shop, a person hears the stories of the rural American West.
This is the place where yours truly has spent
These are the stories from the Dusty Dog
Cafe. Take a sip of coffee and enjoy yourself.

Mariposa Lily Garden Club “Springs” into Busy Year
By Kay Limbaugh, Mariposa Lilly Garden Club
No matter how long the winter,
spring is sure to follow - Proverb. March!
Almost spring! Gardeners begin their
whirlwind of activities. And so it goes
with the Mariposa Lily Garden Club
members. Pruning and thinning plants,
starting seeds, cutting back ornamental
grasses, splitting and transplanting clumps
of plants and raking debris from winter. In
addition to all of these standard garden
duties, members are busy planning a productive year to benefit not only the club,
but the community of Crooked River
Ranch.
In lieu of a January meeting, a
work party of ten met at the home of Photo by Josie Hopla
Mitzi Williams. Members poured over Beautiful Crooked River Ranch Garden.

June 18, 2016! Four gardens are confirmed with a fifth “almost” confirmed!
A $5 button purchased from the Club
allows entrance to all five gardens on
the tour throughout Crooked River
Ranch.
Members at the February meeting listened to Dona Smith-Bell discuss
how to compost and mulch for soil
amendment, an important activity this time of
year. The March meeting will feature Dave
Wildt from the Lions Limb Dump and Karen
McCarthy from Madras Garden Depot.
Visitors are always welcome.
The Mariposa Lily Garden Club meets
the third Tuesday of the month at 10:00 a.m. in
the social room of the Crooked River Ranch

learning signing in order
to be able to communicate with hearing impaired relatives. Care has a book of the alphabet and some phrases
that she will lend to those who wish to learn more. It was
a fun day, enjoyed by all who attended.
Sean Wyman brought the clay projects we made
in January, all nicely fired. He took a couple of them
back to glaze. One lady was going to paint hers prior to
giving it to Sean to put the finishing glaze on. One bowl
cracked while firing and he wasn't able to salvage it. The
Wyman’s studio will be ready sometime this summer.
They hope to give classes at that time.
On March 14th we will be honored to have Ashwood author, D.Bing Bingham as our speaker. He and
his wife Ann own a sheep ranch in Ashwood. His book
"Shaped by the Land" was selected as Jefferson County
Community Read book this year. It is a series of short
stories that take place locally. Madras Community Read
events begin on April 7th at the Art Adventure Gallery in
Madras where Bing will be featured.
We hope to see you there. Fran has a couple of

Sheriff Jim Adkins opens Shooting
Stars 2016 Speakers Series
CRR ATV Group welcomes new
members, plans spring activities
By Kate Adams, Shooting Stars
By Trudy Turnbow, President, CRR ATV Group
On April 5, 2016, Jim Adkins, Jefferson County Sheriff, will
be the first speaker for this season of
Shooting Stars gathers. Sheriff Jim
is passionate about women being
prepared to protect themselves
should a situation arise where he and
his deputies just cannot arrive in
time. From the Santiam Pass, to
Camp Sherman, to Madras, to Ashwood, with Crooked River Ranch in
between, there is only 1 (and sometimes 2) Sheriff’s Deputy on per
shift to patrol all of Jefferson
County. This makes it impossible to
have one of them in every area of
the county 24/7.
Jim will discuss various
ways we, “the weaker sex,” can be
self-sufficient in protecting ourselves in our homes, our vehicles,
while hiking, riding or just going to
the grocery store. He also will discuss the activities of the Sheriff’s
office. Greta, his wife, will tell us a
bit about being married to the Sheriff!
Shooting Stars is a group of
women from Crooked River Ranch
and beyond who gather on the first
Tuesday at 6: 00 p.m. between April
and October at the CRR Senior Center. Our goal is to learn more about
all types of self-defense and the safe,
legal and proficient use of firearms.
Additionally, we meet at the Redmond Rod and Gun Club for instruction and to practice the use of our
firearms. We strongly support ongoing training and practice in the use
of firearms. We enjoy a great camaraderie among our group. There are
no dues, no meetings, no require-
Our February meeting was
brought to order with enthusiasm by
President John Seely. It was opened
with greetings for
the “New Year”
and a big thank
you to the Sandbagger and staff
for great food and
service.
We once again welcomed
new members, as these are people
who hear about us, come to our
meeting and join our group. If you
would like to know more about our
CRR ATV Group please feel free to
join us on the first Wednesday of
every month, 6:30 p.m. at the Sandbagger.
If you would like to be on
our e-mail list and be kept aware of
our outings and Community Services please contact us at [email protected] or contact Jeff
Parcel or John Seely.
Generous donations by the
“passing of the hat” made Christmas
a little more special for three families at Christmas time. The families
chosen were either burdened with
medical bills, fallen on hard times,
or needed “A Hand Up”…we supplied them with full on Christmas
dinners and those with children received additional Fred Meyer gift
cards. Once again hugs, tears, and
appreciation were felt by all.
Our next BLM clean-up is
tentatively scheduled for the last
week in April. Once again hot dogs
and soda will be provided.

Hopefully May 6th for ranch institution re-opening
Big Dog Saloon making a comeback
By Phyllis Carlin
Editor’s Note: “I was out for a drive last Friday afternoon when I thought I would stop in
and check on the progress of the Big Dog Saloon. There was Randy Knight surveying the
reconstruction. He had time to take a break
and sit down for a question and answer session”
and dropped a cigarette into a plastic bucket on
the porch about closing time. The biggest majority of the damage was heat and smoke. It was so
smoked out that we had to gut it, and some of the
electrical wiring melted from the heat so the determination was made to pull it all out. So basically we gutted it and took everything out.
So you have decided to expand?
Yes, the wall that burned was going to have to
come out, and everyone has always complained
about not enough space, so decided on a 13’ x
30’ (390 sq. ft.) addition.
Are you doing the work yourself?
I used Belfour Restoration Co. to do the demolition, Black Dog Construction to do the framing,
Tri County Roofing for the roof and lots of local
friends and customers to do the siding, painting
etc. People are amazing and so helpful.
Randy, you are involved in serving your community through this establishment; tell me
some of the events you have hosted and what
drives you to do that?
Barb and Randy Knight contemplate the Big
Dog Saloon comeback.
Tell me Randy, when did you first open the
Big Dog Saloon?
Barb Knight and I bought the property in 2000
for the purpose of building a bar. It was a two
bedroom house. At the time we were both long
haul truck drivers and decided the bar was what
we wanted to do when we finished driving. We
liked the location and the property. Barb got
hurt and could not drive anymore, and I started
driving more local, so we started slowly working on the house. Early in 2003 I decided I was
done driving truck and let’s get this bar open.
We had a camp trailer that we lived in while
converting the two bedroom house into the Big
Dog Saloon.
Did you have food all along or just beer and
wine?
We always had food. It was not required as we
only had a beer and wine license. We had chili
dogs, hot dogs and everything along a Big Dog
theme. Chili was our main stay.
That leads to the question of how the Big Dog
got its name?
That was my handle while I was driving truck.
I was the Big Dog and Barb was Hush Puppy.
Tell me about the recent fire?
Well it was an unfortunate accident. The theory
of the fire marshal is that somebody walked by
We had the philosophy that the Big Dog Saloon
was not going to be a drive by tavern but a destination. And if you are going to make a destination place work in a small community, then you
need to get together with the community.
Tell me some of the things you have hosted,
sponsored or supported?
of a sudden with the help of John, Craig Towell, Jay Nordin, “Captain Dave” Bomberger,
Doug and Keren Reinhart and many others we
had a Cook Off. We have done benefits from
it for the CRR Senior Group, the Publicity
Committee and others.
So Randy, when is the estimated opening of
the new Big Dog?
The grand opening is tentatively scheduled for
May 6th. I have talked to the Opal Springs
Boys and the Redmond Chamber of Commerce and they want to come out for the ribbon cutting ceremony. This just happens to be
the Events Committee’s First Friday. We will
probably have a soft opening prior to that, so if
you see the Big Dog lights on, come on in for a
beverage.
Anything else you want the community to
know?
Just how much I appreciate the community, I
really do. There’s not a day goes by when
somebody doesn’t drive through here and ask
“When are you going to get this open?” Some
people stop every day, some people stop
weekly. It’s pretty humbling to know that that
many people care about you.
What a difference a few
weeks makes!
The very first thing I got involved in was the three
-stick at the Sandbagger. I put the three-stick together with Don Pullen in 1996 and ran it until
1999. I also originally got involved with the
Chamber of Commerce and paid $25 a year to
join. The Chamber sponsored a rodeo one year
and I ran the Snack Shack at the Rodeo grounds.
We have had seven Poker Runs. The Oregon
Veteran’s Motorcycle Association started this the
year after 9-11. It’s a memorial. They try to raise
funds for somebody in need that is in uniform,
whether it is a veteran, a police officer, firefighter,
etc.
Two weeks ago.
Pete Fisher is a patron at the Big Dog all the time
and the first year he put the Steel Stampede together he asked me if I wanted to be involved. I
said heck yeah, what do you have in mind? The
first year I carted biscuits and gravy over in the
mornings. We now do the Thursday training dinner for the Stampede, featuring tacos spaghetti,
etc. for all the volunteers and Pete’s gang.
How did you come up with the idea for the Pit
Master Cook-Off?
We got the idea from TV. Then Texas Roy built
the shack to host it in. John Seely was bragging
about who was the best at barbeque, and then all
Today!

CRR Lions Speaker Series
A variety of speakers, a variety of topics entertain CRR Lions at social meetings
By Mike Folkstad, CRR Lions Speaker Series Chairperson
Most residents of CRR know about the good
work the CRR Lions Club does in our community,
they know about our fund raisers, but do they know
about our Speakers Series? During each year, CRR
Lions hear from a variety of speaker from Jefferson
County Officers, to authors
and ranchers. This year we
have already had the privilege of hearing from several.
This past January,
Scott Brown, Executive Director for Habitat for Humanity in Redmond, led off
the year with a presentation
on Habitat programs, including the new Critical Repair
Program. He also discussed
how Habitat will partner
Susie Maniscalo, Bend with the CRR Lions Safety
Outreach for Seniors (SOS)
Deputy Fire Marshal
program.
addressed the Lions
Club last year.
In February, we had
the pleasure of hearing from Enes Smith, author,
lecturer and former homicide detective, crime scene
investigator and college instructor. Enes is a master
storyteller and speaker. He shared some of his experiences in law enforcement and how he became a
successful author of six suspense novels. You can
find out more about Enes Smith at www.kenotespeakers-enes.com.
Our special guest for March 22, 2016 will
be Debbie and Scott Miller, owners of Crescent
Moon Ranch in Terrebonne. They will be telling us
about all things Alpaca from the buying and breeding these animals to their wonderful fleece that is
used to make items such as those sold in the Crescent Moon Boutique. They will also tell us a bit
about the move of Crescent Moon from Lower
Bridge Road to Highway 97 in Terrebonne. For a
special treat, Debbie and Scott will be bringing a
couple of their beautiful animals for Lions to see up
close and personally.
On April 26th Stan Nowakowski and
Maura Swartz, the Madras couple who proposed
the route for the Mountain View Scenic Bikeway,
will discuss the planning and designation process
for developing a Scenic Bikeway. Cyclists riding
the route ride the rim of Lake Billy Chinook, enjoying the views of the Three Sisters, Mount Jefferson,
Mount Hood and even Mount Adams.
On May 24, 2016, Mike Ahern, Jefferson
County Commissioner will be at CRR to explain
the state of Jefferson County to include your property tax dollars at work (AKA ‘The Budget’ and
how it affects CRR), new courthouse update and
other assorted Jefferson County issues that impact
CRR. Mike’s knowledge of how our tax monies are
spent in Jefferson County is superlative as well as
his overall institutional knowledge of county operations.
On June 28, 2016 Sheriff Jim Adkins will
discuss the state of law enforcement in Jefferson
County to include: Marijuana—what has changed
and where we are now with the laws; the new higher
speed limits; the benefits of Jefferson County’s larger jail and how it may help prevent crime to the
thinking (which none of them seem to do) criminal,
the local crime scene and what happens after an arrest is made as well as what the law abiding citizen
can do to help Sheriff Adkins and his deputies do
their job. There has been some talk on the Ranch
about enhanced sheriff protection for CRR. Sheriff
Adkins will talk candidly about what it costs to put
an extra deputy on the road in a turnkey manner
(training, cars, radios, other equipment) and some of
the challenges in Jefferson county in recruiting and
retaining quality personnel.
In the summer we pause our speaker series
for our summer picnic. The speaker series resumes
in the fall where we will hear presentations on beekeeping and our friends, the juniper trees.
Our social meetings are held on the fourth
Tuesday of the month. The social hour begins at
5:30 p.m. followed by the meeting at 6:30 p.m.
Business meetings are held on the second Tuesday of
the month. All are invited to attend. For more information about CRR Lions contact Phyllis Carlin at
541-923-3399 or Gail DesBrisay at 541-504-8562

President’s Message
Meetings
By Mitch Mitchener, President
CRR ASSOCIATION
POTPOURRI
Last month’s President’s Message started with “It’s that time of year
again”. Since I’m not all that clever a writer, I’m going to start this month’s Message the same way, but for a different reason.
ELECTIONS
I know that it seems, certainly to some more than others, that we just got
through electing new Board and ARC members, and it really wasn’t all that long
ago. However, much like our federal congressmen, and women (congresspeople??)
it seems like we’re going through this process all the time. This month starts the
beginning of the election season. By the time you read this, application packets for
the Board and ARC (Architectural Review Committee) will be available in the
Admin office. They need to be returned no later than May 31st.
Being on the Board (or ARC) is without question, a commitment; both time
and energy. Neither are onerous, but both exist. The reality is that most of the time
the work is rewarding. You get to learn more about the Ranch than you every
thought you’d want or need to know. You get to meet and work with a lot of wonderful, and very dedicated folks. It also answers a lot of questions about why things
are done the way they are. It surprises everyone who has ever been on the Board
how many residents work so hard to make the Ranch a great place to live. For
those of you who are always concerned about the Ranch; too much of this and not
enough of that; try to imagine what it would be like without the volunteers. Certainly a much different place to live.
Running for office on the Ranch is a simple process. Come on down to the
Admin office and pick up an application packet. Fill out the forms and return. You
will be on the ballot. The only requirements are as quoted below from our Policy
and Procedures Manual.
Applicants need not be a member of the Association nor be CRR residents. Any
applicant / member in good standing are eligible to apply for an open position on
the Board of Directors or Architectural Review Committee as long as a complete

President Mitchener noted the BOD’s previous decision supporting the installation of a gate at the end of Peninsula for seasonal closure. New information indicates that Jefferson County actually owns the subject road and therefore it
cannot be closed. There is a spur that runs to the west of the subject road that
is closed seasonally but has no area that would be suitable for a gate. Based on
the new information, President Mitchener suggested that the BOD reconsider its
position on the gate.
President Mitchener apologized to residents in the Limb Dump area for the
smoke issues recently experienced. Unfortunately, due to a change in weather,
the piles did not burn as planned and smoldered creating some issues for residents in the area of the Limb Dump.

Neighbor Helping Neighbor
It wasn’t supposed to be this way……
Volunteer Opportunity
By Paula Bartolomei, CRR Board of Directors
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. When
they moved to Crooked River Ranch back in 2001,
they thought everything would work out, that they
would have enough to enjoy retirement here. Then
he got sick, the bills piled up, and when he passed
away, she even lost the money from the annuity he
had from his old job. Now she has to try and live
on $953 per month, she’s past due on her property
taxes, and everyday she worries about what’s going to break down or need repairs. Sometimes it
just seems too much to bear.
The CRR Board of Directors realizes that
many people experience circumstances that put
their finances in trouble and may need help in paying their CRR homeowners’ dues. Thus was born
the pilot program called “Neighbor Helping
Neighbor,” which collects donations from Ranch
residents to help their less fortunate neighbors pay
part of their dues. Since last December’s dues
billing went out, Ranch residents have stepped up
to help, with $2,073 having been collected to date.
At the February 15, 2016 regular meeting, the
Board approved paying a portion of the dues of six
homeowners, disbursing a total of $1,109. The
remaining $964 will be held in a special account
until the next billing cycle, when once again the
call will go out to those of you willing and able to
help your struggling neighbors.
wood at 541-548-8939 and watch the newsletter in
May for more information on the application process. We are hopeful that more people will apply
now that they’ve seen how the program works.
And a big “Thank You” to all those who helped
this time around!
After her interview with Karen, the NHN
program coordinator, she felt better and more
hopeful. She had been reluctant to apply, thinking that she might feel embarrassed, but she hadn’t felt that way at all! When she heard that $253
would be applied toward her dues, she was thankful that she lived in a place where folks really
helped each other. Yes, she and her husband HAD
made the right choice when they had decided to
move here. Though she was alone now, she felt a
part of a community where being “neighborly”
really meant something, and folks lent a hand
when times were tough. Even with all her problems, how fortunate she was that she lived here!
(Note: The applicant depicted here is a composite
taken from many applicants and is not a real
Ranch resident.)

Neighbor,” call program coordinator Karen At-

and signed application packet is submitted no
later than the approved deadline. “In good standing” is defined as having all dues and any outstanding debts to the Association current according to Board policy, and having no outstanding
county code or valid CC&R violations at the time
of application.
All applications shall be in accordance
with the application process and material as submitted by the Nominating Committee for the current election. All completed applications will be
delivered to the Administration Office in a sealed
envelope identified only as an application. The
sealed envelope will be date/time stamped and
delivered expeditiously to the Nominating Committee for confidential review. All candidates are
required to become familiar with all election procedures, processes, and documents. All documents related to the election process listed below
can be obtained from the Administration
On the front page of this Telegraph, is an
abbreviated article about our elections coming in
September. Candidate’s packages are available in
the Ranch Admn Office. PLEASE consider running for either a Board of Director, or Architectural Committee position. We would really like to
have a full slate of candidates to choose from this
year. In the April issue of the Telegraph we will
have a more comprehensive article on the elections and the Board of Directors.
I’d like each and every one of you reading
this message to think about how you might contribute; maybe not the Board or ARC, but how
about a committee, Senior Center, Food Bank, etc.
There’s lots to do and we ALWAYS need volunteers. So many of the activities we all enjoy
wouldn’t exist without the help of these dedicated
folks. Think about the Fourth of July parade,
Christmas events, Steel Stampede, Kids summer
camp, etc etc. I’m sure that every one of you have
the ability and skills to help make these events
even better than they already are. Think about it.
Enough of that.
CC&R’s
Over the last couple of months (although
the process has been going on much longer) we
have been publicizing the revisions to the Enforcement Policy and Rules for our CC&R’s. There
has been some confusion as to what this process
was about. Some have thought we were doing
revisions to the CC&R’s. WE ARE NOT REVISING THE CC&R’S. This can only be done
with an approval vote from the residents of the
Ranch. What we are doing is revising the way the
CC&R’s are administered. We have tried to consolidate, streamline and put more teeth in the process. This will assure that the CC&R’s are administered evenly to all residents and define the steps
that are taken to resolve a complaint. For those of
you who have read this document and commented
or asked questions (and we’ve had some good
ones), thank you; if you haven’t, go to the CRR
website (or come down to the admin office) and
take a look. At the March 21st Board meeting we
will be adopting these rules.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
It’s hard to believe but it’s been a little
over a year since I got on my high horse about
speeding and general abuse of traffic laws here on
the Ranch. To those who have paid attention and
slowed down and actually stopped at those Red
Octagonal signs – THANKS. To the few of you
who still feel it’s your right to drive any way
you’d like, without regard for your neighbors;
please think about the risks you are undertaking. I
can’t even imagine what it would feel like, for the
rest of your life, to cause a serious or even fatal
accident. TAKE THE TIME TO SLOW DOWN.

Get Prepared Now For Wildland
Fire Season
Submitted by Sean Hartley, Captain, CRR Fire & Rescue
As Spring is rapidly approaching, it’s time to start thinking
about making your property safer
from potential wildland fires. The
following
are
just a few recommendations
of where to start
your clean up.
Make sure gutters are clean
and free of combustible debris. Often embers from a
wildland fire land in gutters with
debris and catch the house on fire.
Keep tall, dry grass mowed around
your home. Doing this helps keep
fire from burning right up to your
home. Remove ladder fuels by pruning tree limbs and removing brush
from under trees. This disrupts a
fires path from the ground fuels,
such as grass, that could ignite the
limbs more easily causing increased
fire spread. For more recommendations on making your home safer
from wildland fire visit our website
or schedule a free wildland fire
safety assessment by calling the Fire
Station (541) 923-6776.
Don’t forget to join us at
10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 26th,
at the Dick Chandler Ball Field for
the annual Easter Egg Hunt! We will
have plenty of prizes and there are
separate hunts for ages 0-2, 3-4, 5-8,
and 9-12 year olds. If you want to
help us make the Easter Egg Hunt a
success, we are accepting candy donations. We ask that candy be individually wrapped and of an appropriate size for the plastic eggs.
For more information on
wildland fire safety, community
events, or volunteering with us visit

Facebook and Twitter. The Fire District Board of Directors meets the
third Thursday of every month at
6:30 p.m. and the public is welcome

Spotlight on Phase Reps
D’Ambrosia joins Phase Reps, represents Phase 1
By Paulette Nordin, former Phase Rep Chairperson
With Dave Keyston joining the Crooked
River Ranch Board of Directors, we needed a
replacement for part of Phase One and Becky
D'Ambrosia stepped up to the task. Let’s hear
what she has to say.
The D’Amborsia’s have two daughters
who still live in the valley and a two year old
granddaughter. We moved to get out of the rain
and gray cloudy days and TRAFFIC!
Crooked River Ranch
Phase 1
In the past two years here they have become very established in the community. She
joined the Ranch Chapel Quilters and quickly
found out what an awesome talented group of
women we have right here! It is a great joy to
spend Mondays with these beautiful ladies. Her
husband joined the “car club” group on Mondays, and is also on the Architectural Review
Committee.
They have a small car collection; however
the cars are not small! Steve enjoys Lionel
Trains and they like to travel around the country in their motor home when they can.

Becky D’Ambrosia and Toby
I’m Becky D’Ambrosia and this is Toby, our six
year toy/mini Aussi. He is supposed to be a toy but
he is a little bigger than that so we say he is “big
furred”. Becky and her husband Steve moved from
their home in Damascus, Oregon where they lived
for more than 20 years, to Crooked River Ranch in
November 2013.
Becky took over the job of helping communicate with the residents in Phase 1 last fall
not knowing what this would involve, but has
found the task to be great fun already and have
met even more great folks living here in our
community! She enjoys helping out and especially to those who are new to the Ranch
Steve and Becky love living here, the only
drawback is not seeing the grand-baby as much as
they would like. But as she gets older she will
spend more time with Grandma and Grandpa.

Great Shot!
Steelhead Falls Tourist
Calling all
Photographers!
Sometimes, just by adding that unexpected twist, a photograph
can go from ordinary to special. Such is the case with Tyler
Dearman’s photo shown here entitled, “Steelhead Falls Tourist.” The scene of the falls by itself is lovely and would have
been a good photo as it is, but the addition of the whimsical
snowman put it over the top. By taking that extra step of building
the snowman, Tyler made this photo really stand out, with the
result that the Events Planning Committee voted it the best photo
in the “Snow” category. Great shot, Tyler! Your photo will be in
the 2017 calendar!
Our next category is sure to be a popular one: “Pets.” So grab
your camera and watch for that moment when your pet is doing
something cute (or just looking that way!) and send the picture in
to [email protected] by Monday, April 4,
2016. The Events Planning Committee will vote on the submissions at their April meeting, with the winner announced in the
May newsletter. And as stated last month, keep a sharp lookout
for a “Great Shot” of a Sunrise or a Sunset as that will be the
category in April.
Photo by Tyler Dearman
Thanks to everyone who submitted photos this month! We had some really
beautiful pictures sent in of snow scenes
on the Ranch and it’s obvious that we
have some very fine photographers living
here. Keep that creative spirit going!
The 2017 CRR calendar is shaping up to
be the best one yet!

CRR Fire & Rescue tackles Lions Limb Dump

Limb Dump burn in February was reduced to about
1/3 of the gathered fuels. The burn went well as
CRR Fire & Rescue personnel and volunteers
started the burn early in the morning, monitored the
burn throughout the day and checked on it into the
evening.
Coffee and snacks were provided by the

onlookers. “The CRR Fire Personnel sure know
what they are doing, and it seemed like a quick

up for the cold and witnessed the
burn along with eight other Lions.
The Lions would like to
give a hearty ROAR, and a huge
thank-you to all the firefighters
who donated their time and let
them know they went far above
the normal call of duty. The Lions
would also like to thank the HOA

them. The dinner was not only delicious but
the company was great.

CRR Ladies Golf
Posting of golf scores begins March 1
Annual breakfast set for March 8th
By Jeanne Holloway, President
By Jack Martin, President
As winter wanes and spring
begins there is lots of golfing going
on at Crooked River
Ranch. We are lucky to
have a winter playable
course.
Come play golf with us!
March 1 Posting Begins
March 1 is the start of posting golf
scores in the Pacific Northwest area.
Please remember that one of the
2016 changes from the USGA states
that golf rounds played by just
“yourself” are not eligible to be used
for handicap scoring. If you play a
round by yourself consider it a practice round and enjoy your solitude as
you improve your game but add a
friend if you want to post the score.
course for a round of golf can be
between three to five miles. If you
walk 18 holes three to five times a
week, you’ll get an optimal amount
of endurance exercise for your heart.
If you pull your clubs or carry them,
you’ll burn even more calories each
round and benefit even more.
Our ladies golf group season starts
in March at 9:30A.M. each Wednesday . The games throughout March
are informal. No pre-sign up is required.
Playing golf regularly can help you:
 stay fit
 improve muscle tone and endurance
 lose weight and body fat.
Golf can also:
 be a great way to keep in touch
with friends
 help in reducing stress (as a result of the physical activity and
also due to the pleasure of walking in an open and natural environment)
 provide opportunities to meet
new people
 help develop a sense of community connectedness.
One more call to join our group!
To join the Crooked River Ranch
Ladies golf group contact Jeanne
Holloway, Deborah Fitzpatrick or
the CRR Golf Course staff.
Golf can be good for your health and
your heart. Walking an average
March has arrived and hopefully our weather has improved. El
Nino has not been kind
to Central Oregon golf.
If you haven’t
gotten out to golf during the winter, you will notice some
changes to our course. Holes 15, 16
and 17 have seen some serious limbing of trees and some tree removal
(hooray!)
Starting March 1st remember
to post all scores played in Oregon. The handicap system does not
work properly if you don’t post all
scores! You do not need to post
scores when you play our Men’s
Club events, as our Handicap Committee handles that duty.
Anyone wishing to join the
Men’s Club can pick up an application at the Pro Shop. Make sure that
any email address and phone number
changes are submitted to Mike
Kuykendall and Terry Weaver so
you can receive all pertinent Club
information.
I hope our members, old and
new, are able to attend our March 8
breakfast meeting (its free) and our
ABCD scramble event to follow. The breakfast and meeting are
at the Sandbagger starting at 8:00
a.m. The scramble is a 9:30 shotgun
start.
New members do not need a
handicap to participate in Men’s
Club events. We will assign a
handicap based on your best guess
until you have enough rounds in to
establish an accurate handicap.
Remember to keep stretching and walking to prevent any injuries and don’t overdo your first few
rounds.
I hope to see all of you at
our March 1st season opener (regular
golf computer pick, 9:30 a.m. shotgun start).

Remember, if you keep doing the
same things you will keep getting
the same results.

Recreation at the Ranch
Charity Disc Golf Tournament
community raised $215,000 through the St. Jude
Invitational Tournament held in Monterey, California. This year we are doing our part to “play it
forward” by hosting a fundraising event of our
own to benefit this great cause.
The Central Oregon disc golf community’s aim is to raise money by celebrating the
game we love and playing Disc Golf for the children. This Disc Golf FUNdraiser will directly
benefit the St. Jude Disc Golf Charity Invitational
which will be held on May 26-29. Our efforts
combined with the total funds raised from the disc
golf community will be donated to the St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital.
This event will be hosted by course pro,
Jim Tobish, along with three-time disc golf world
champions, Valarie and Nathan Doss. Valarie and
Nathan, who reside in Bend, are both touring professional disc golfers. These two are well known
internationally within the disc golf community and
utilize their names for the betterment of the sport
in their local communities. Nathan explained,
“This is a great partnership between the sport and
a worthy cause. We are using the outlet of disc
golf, with its family aspect, to introduce and encourage the community to try a new sport and
‘play it forward’ by donating to support the St.
Jude Children’s Research Hospital.”
Activities at Crooked River Ranch will
begin at 9:00 a.m. on April 2nd. The $20 entry
donation includes a round of disc golf on the short
course, with a free Coyotes Den Disc! Touring
players will be able to camp on site, and compete
on Sunday in a singles round followed by a doubles round on the very challenging long course.
Another fun event will be the short, 9-hole round
of glow golf on Saturday evening. Demonstration
activities include a disc golf skills course, long
drive, and CTP competitions. JD Platt, and the
KEEN K9 Kings Flying Dog Show will perform
along with live music later in the evening. Please,
come join us!

Chronic pain,
a problem for many
By Robin Gaudette, RN, ACSM/HFI,
Aquatics Wellness Coordinator, RAPRD
More than 45% of Americans suffer pain
on a regular basis. Many times we fall into bad
habits or bad movement patterns as the body
learns how to adjust to pain. The coping mechanisms the body develops to battle chronic pain
often create negative habits and can make the condition worsen.
Researchers have found that when pain
increases the body develops behaviors that are
dysfunctional but provide short term relief from
pain. Emotions such as anger and depression distract the brain and briefly override the pain sensation. Left to continue, these responses actually
change the brain chemistry and the mind and
body’s response to pain.
The body thinks of pain as a threat thus
triggering the fight-or-flight response. The instinctual reaction is protection; for example an
injured animal, curls up tightly to shield the essential organs from harm. Our body will respond
similarly to pain; rounding the shoulders and spine
forward, teeth clench, inner thighs squeeze together. These changes if repeated frequently can
cause joint dysfunction, inflammation and degeneration making chronic pain worse.
Pain is often a sign that the body and mind
are pushed beyond their normal limits. This could
be from chronic stress, fatigue, disease or pain.
The body needs rest and recovery. Calming techniques such as structured breathing, positive imagery and meditation are known to improve relaxation and assist in helping cell repair. Adopting
habits to get a more restful sleep such as; herbal
teas, turning off TV’s and electronic devices an
hour before bedtime, or a warm bath will improve
the quality of this important rejuvenation time.
Improving dietary habits and gentle exercise such
as walking, yoga or aqua exercise are recommended. Short and long-term benefits can be realized with regular massage and body-work.

Crooked River Ranch lies on a peninsula of land near the confluence of the Crooked and Deschutes Rivers. These high desert rivers travel
through miles of basalt canyons that have played sentinel to centuries of rich history. This gorgeous “River Canyon Country” plays host
to those fortunate enough to live and play in this unique rural setting guarded by the majestic peaks of the Cascade Mountain Range.
Golf, swimming, tennis, hiking, fishing, abundant wildlife, and a wealth of opportunities for a rich community life serve as the crown
jewels in Crooked River Ranch’s crown. If you are visiting us, we welcome you and invite you to stay awhile. You just might discover,
as we have, that Crooked River Ranch is “A Great Place to Hang Your Hat”.
