Bayview Community Center 2014 Center November 2014 By Jackie Lloyd (683-1680 or jaklloyd@hotmail.com) PO Box 121 www.bayviewidaho.org BAYVIEW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE th November marks the beginning of our Holiday Times. It also marks the beginning of LOU’s 4 season. We are very excited to see our old friends and hopefully new ones as well. We are continuing to serve a free lunch each Wednesday at noon unless otherwise noted. This month we will have one exception which is November 26th, Thanksgiving week. We are very excited to offer each of you a free Thanksgiving Dinner to be served at Mario’s Mexican Restaurant between 11am and 3pm on the 26 th. Mario has offered his space, his services and his home cooking in conjunction with LOU for the event. The traditional turkey and stuffing will be served with all the sides along with dessert and a soft drink. Beer and wine will be available to be purchased. Thank you so much to Mario and his family for his service and for being a great addition to the community. The menu for LOU this month is: November 5th Smoked/baked chicken, rice, veggie, salad, dessert and beverage November 12th Taco Salad and taco bar, etc November 19th Meatloaf, mashed taters, etc. November 26th Thanksgiving Wednesday at Mario’s LOU is a volunteer program, many hands are needed for set-up, clean-up, food prep, and dessert making. Please contact me if you can help at 683-1680 or email jaklloyd@hotmail.com. Please remember that we continue to offer other free programs for you to enjoy. Yoga continues to offer sessions on Monday and Thursday mornings at 10am. Zumba will continue through this month on Wednesday 9am and Saturday at 10am and Pinochle is on Thursdays at 7pm. New members are more than welcome. The Friday night movies will be on the 7th featuring “12 years a Slave” and the 21st featuring “Philomena”. Movies start at 7pm. Finally this month, Karl Andreasson will be offering an intro to Tai Chi which is free and will be held on Saturday the 8th, 15th and 29th at noon. All are welcome and loose clothes advised. A big thank you to Linda Hackbarth who has presented the Community Center with a historical photo of Bayview taken circa 1930. Linda was given this photo by Chester and Georgia Hattenburg whose family member had ties to the community during that time. The photo was taken by Ross Hall a well-known photographer from Sandpoint. She has had it beautifully framed and now hangs in the main entrance hall at the Center. Linda has given so much to this community especially in her historical chronicling of Bayview. Thank you again. Bayview is blessed to have you. Kudos to Jenny Prince and her host of volunteers and especially the EE DAH HAW members for the garden clean-up and winterizing. It has been a particularly beautiful garden season. Shame on you, if you have not taken the time to visit this place of tranquility and beauty. A quick note here to let folks know that the board voted in September to reduce the cost of the memorial wall plaques back to their original cost of $250. If you have any questions please feel to call me. Did you know that there has been a recent break in on Lyvel Street this past month and, in addition, Chuck Waller’s winch was stolen from his trailer which has been parked in the lower lot of the Center. If anyone has information regarding these thefts please contact the Sheriff’s department. Finally this past month we have said goodbyes to two well-loved residents. We mourn the passing of Bear Rose and Ollie Olson. On behalf of the entire community we offer our deepest sympathies to their families and hope that time and friends will help in their healing. 20 Bayview, ID 83803 Editor: Norma Jean 683-1980 email: njyesca6@gmail.com “November ‘14” EVENTS AROUND TOWN (held at the Community Center unless noted) Mon 11/3 Tue 11/4 10am 8am-8pm 10am-noon 7pm Wed 11/5 Noon Fri 11/7 Sat 11/8 7pm 8am Noon-12:45 6pm Noon BAB Board Meeting Elections Bookmobile Chamber Board Meeting (Chuck Murray’s house) LOU Baked/Smoked Chicken Wed 11/12 All Day 9:30am 7pm Noon Friday Night at the Movies “12 Years a Slave” Bible Chapel Men’s Breakfast Introduction to Tai Chi (free class) 55+ “Salmonfest” Ollie Olson Memorial, Pot luck lunch, all invited Veterans Day BAB Meeting Chamber Meeting LOU Taco Bar and Taco Salad Sat 11/15 Noon-12:45 Introduction to Tai Chi (free class) Tue 11/18 Wed 11/19 10am-noon 3:30pm 7pm Noon Bookmobile Bayview Water & Sewer Board Meeting (office) Bayview Community Council Meeting LOU Meatloaf Thu 11/20 6pm Fri 11/21 7pm Timberlake Fire Commis.

BAB’s Women’s Club Bayview - Athol - Belmont A local women’s charitable organization for 57 years Next meeting Nov. 11th. 9:30 am Co-Presidents: Joyce Wilkuski— Cindy Grandy —Vice president - Nathlie White ---Secretary ------- Gabi Groth-Marnat Treasurer ------- Elaine Bergquist ---Woman at Large -Lyn Haney --------- 683-3625 683-1859 659-3467 683-3119 683-0703 683-1632 5 75 Years A few months ago the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary celebrated their 75 th Anniversary of service to the Coast Guard and the Boating Public. Congress created us in 1939 and we began as the Coast Guard Reserves. Later, we were recreated as the Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Reserves also came into being to assist the active duty service. Our duties, assignments and responsibilities have changed or been added to more times than the age of our organization, even more so since 9-11. Congress changed our role again directing the Commandant of the Coast Guard use the Auxiliary in any role he felt helped meet the missions of the Coast Guard, except direct law enforcement or combat. There have been three things that have greatly changed our role. First is September 11th and the increased responsibilities of the Coast Guard. Second is the reduction of active duty personnel and third are the cuts in the CG budgets. Where you use to see active duty Coast Guard anywhere from the Great Lakes to even our own Lake Pend Oreille, that has now changed throughout the country. Admiral Paul F. Zukunft, USCG recently came to Coeur d’ Alene to address the Auxiliarist throughout East Washington, Idaho and Montana. The Admiral made it clear that the Coast Guard could not meet all its obligations without the Auxiliary at their side. We're repeatedly told that we are part of the Coast Guard Team, the "Gold Side" (active duty) believes it and so do we. The Admiral stated it doesn’t say Auxiliary Coast Guard, it says Coast Guard Auxiliary. The Coast Guard has put us in their uniform and the only difference between our uniforms is the active duty is gold stripes and the silver we wear. Above describes who we are and here is what we do. First we don’t have a law enforcement role and we don’t want it. Second we’re here to help you the boating public, our communities, and to educate the public about boating, water safety and survival. The Coast Guard leadership had the wisdom and foresight to develop a method to continue educating and protecting the boating public. While many of our members are former Coast Guard, military, etc our members also come from every walk of life and bring their many talents to the benefit of the Auxiliary and the active duty side. By way of example an entire Interpreters Corp has been created and serving with the active duty throughout the world as needed.

Yesterday October 23 I checked once again with Verizon to see if there was any change or plans for considering a cell tower for the Bayview area. I was informed that there is nothing in the plans for this year and probably not anytime soon. The best way to help them consider a tower here is to complain, complain, complain ever y time you have dr opped calls or no service. You can do this from you land line by calling 1-800-922-0204 or your Verizon cell phone using *611; Or you might do what I have done and drop their service and phone. I am now using the Tracfone Service with their HUAWEI Glory phone this is the only one they carry that uses the Verizon Tower Network. This works as well for me as the $35.00 a month Verizon phone, my cost now is about $10.00 a month. I use my land line when home and carry this for use while away, it works as well as the Verizon phone I was using. When I canceled my phone I told Verizon the reason I was doing so was because I was paying for a service each month that was not provided. If you want to buy a booster for your phone service you can do that at your own expense and it can be expensive depending on the one you select. I wish I had better news but it is all about money and Bayview sits down in the bottom of a bowl with a small population base. I will keep checking every few months and keep you informed with the latest update. We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth so this is one of the sacrifices we make to do so! Faye Bare LPOYC News - October 2014 LPOYC – November 2014 The racing and cruising season on Lake Pend Orielle is over for the year 2014 as pertains to the yacht club.

The next event will be the “Frost Bite Race” followed by a chili feed on the first Saturday after New Years. Stay warm, dry, and we’ll see you next year.

Mario’s Mexican Restaurant Bayview Liquors The Captain’s Wheel Chris’ Patio Bar We Thank you! 9 Almost Done! By Jackie Lloyd The November chill and moisture has begun and the Center addition is almost complete. The electrical and framing inspections have been done with the go ahead to finish the interior work. The parking area has been expanded, with the exception of the final seal which will have to wait until spring. The major hold up at this point is the doors which are special order. Once they are installed, the siding can be completed and our contractor and crew will have finished their part of the project. What is left is the interior finish, insulation, wallboard, paint and flooring as well as the exterior painting. These are projects that are to be done by volunteer labor. This $90K project was partially paid by a HUD grant which covered less than ½ of the costs. The remainder had to be covered by the Center. Our building fund is in sore need of a transfusion. We have received some great donations to date, but more funds are needed. Please, do not ignore the Center’s reminders, please give a donation now. If you have ever used the Center in any way, you have benefitted from its existence. It is the home to many community groups as well a place offering many free activities for everyone. If a monetary contribution is not possible, please volunteer your services in helping to complete those jobs described earlier. If you have any questions about how you can help, please call Tom Lloyd at 683-1680. We thank Gene Salois and his crew for their hard work as well as those who have volunteered to do the details that we were allowed by the HUD rules. They have done so much in so little time. Once again we need your help. Donations can be sent to: Bayview Community Center PO Box 493 Bayview, ID 83803 Look Up – Keep a Happy Heart Marsha Ritzheimer You have to love this time of year. The countryside is changing from a variety of colors on the trees to the large amount of leaves covering the ground. I think this is the grandest announcement that the seasons are changing and the holidays are on their way. It is the time of year when time honored family traditions once again appear in the form of decorations and smells. Cherished recipes, which have been handed down through generations, are once again brought out to create those marvelous annual dishes. To many this is the beginning of the most joyous time of year. To others it is a very depressing time because they are missing family and friends who are not able to join them due to distance or existence on this earth. However, this is truly the time when those who are alone need to band together, start new traditions and bring out the HAPPY. Thanksgiving isn’t about a menu. It’s about togetherness. If you THINK you are alone, you are mistaken. If you A RE alone, then that is your choice. All you have to do is step out your door or open your door to join others or volunteer. Be willing to share your laughter and happy memories. Even the hardest life has a “happy” somewhere. Happiness and kindness are two things that must be shared before they can grow. The more they grow the happier our hearts become. Even those who have departed this earth left us with a happy memory that is unique to them. Share those memories and the laughter that goes with them. Your thanksgiving dinner could be turkey or it could be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. There could be twenty people or there could be two. It could be spent around a dining table loaded with food or a card table trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle. It’s all about sharing. Every tradition started somewhere, at some time. This would be a great year to start something new. Remember, family & friends can be a very generic term. You don’t have to share blood to be considered family and friends can be new as well as old. Because I not only believe but also practice that philosophy, I have been blessed with a very large and loving family and an abundance of very dear friends and acquaintances. I chose a life full of laughter and happiness and that’s what I have. You can too. You have to be a friend in order to have friends. You have to share happiness in order to receive happiness. You have to extend kindness in order to receive kindness. The more friendship, laughter and kindness you extend, the happier your heart will be. HAVE A WONDERFUL AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING! wondersofdisney.disneyfansites.com 10 11
