The last Chamber Breakfast will be Monday September 7th. Hope to see you there. We have fun at these functions and could not accomplish as much as we do without the support and help of our volunteers. Bayview is a great community to live in!</div>

<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Summer 2015 park update.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>By Randall Butt, Park Manager<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At 10 a.m. on July 25<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th </span></sup>Farragut State Park
will host a ribbon cutting as we open the Discover History wing at the Museum
at the Brig.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The new wing will occupy
what was once the mess hall of the Brig building, and be focused on history
associated with the local area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Displays
are in progress and will be updated over the next few years on a variety of
topics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These will include; Glacial Lake
Missoula, Pend Oreille City and local communities, The Albeni Falls Dam
project, The Farragut Technical College, large group events hosted at the park,
and Farragut State Park history.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While preparation for the new wing has been ongoing for a
few years, the opening is tied to celebrating Farragut State Park’s 50<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
anniversary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As with any anniversary it
is a time to look back at those years now behind us and look forward to those
approaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On July 20<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>, at
6p.m. at the Bayview Community Center, Farragut staff will be available to
discuss all that is happening with regard to the park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to the meeting on July 20<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>,
the park will have a suggestion form available later this summer to get
feedback on the activities offered in the park.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The questionnaire is similar to the one put out in 2003 and
is the first step in a multi-year process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The suggestions will be evaluated this fall by staff to insure the
ability of resources to provide for any changes, and for compatibility with
Department mission and goals. Next year those enhancements that can be
accommodated would be put out to park users for additional comment before the
Department prioritizes any projects/plans that come from the process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The results of the 2003 questionnaire resulted in the expansion
of the disc golf courses, adding more exhibits to the Museum at the Brig, construction
of the Shoreline picnic area, and development of the Lynx and Buggy trial
systems which connect park facilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It also contributed to the construction of Gilmore campground, and the recent
re-construction of a second RV sanitation station.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the meantime park visitors will see some projects
already in motion:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">-A trail surfacing project going from Sunrise to the
Whitetail Campground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">-Upgrades to the Sunrise group use shelter area, and at
the Scott Field Group Area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">-Trail improvement and information signing at the Scout
Pole area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">-The Little Black Bear disc golf course expanded with an
additional 10 holes added.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">-The addition of features at the Viewpoint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">-Protection of the Beaver Bay Beach peninsula.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">-Planning for a central entrance at Brig Road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">-and in addition to the dedication of the Discovery wing
at the Museum at the Brig on July 25<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>, the park will be hosting
part of the 1965 Farragut Girl Scout Roundup reunion in September, and is
negotiating the hosting of three major cross country track meets for this fall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">WAKE UP BAYVIEW<span style="mso-tab-count: 3;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When are the people of Bayview going to wake up?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Do you know that we have video cameras posted on Chan’s property?
It can be said that these cameras are to protect his holdings, granted a valid
reason but the cameras can record beyond his holdings. Can we do something
about the cameras probably not but I sure feel uncomfortable with “Smile You
Are On Video Cameras” signage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When will you all say enough!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Why is Larry Spencer sending letters to the Bayview
Community in support of the two candidates who are challenging the current incumbents?
REALLY? Now who would be behind that? Larry Spencer was involved in the efforts
to the challenge to Timberlake Fire Department, Larry Spencer spoke at the
Lakes Highway meeting when Chan attempted to get a right of way/easement on 5<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
St. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Point number two in Larry’s open
letter is a not true. The accounting firm did not fire BWS, BWS fired the
Magnuson McHugh Group because they were not doing what they were supposed to be
doing, something that Linda Hackbarth is concerned about. Who uses Larry
Spencer’s services? Chan Karupiah.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When will Bayview wake up?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Now we hear that a petition is going forward to close the
public boat launch, who has made this request? Chan Karupiah. If we lose that
public launch it will affect our local businesses.</span></strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When are the two sheds in Harborview that were removed going
to be replaced? There should be four sheds there not two?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When are you going to wake up Bayview? Hopefully not before
it is too late.</span></div>

WHO IS LARRY SPENCER???<u></u><u></u></div>
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12.8px/normal arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Over the past several days I have received several emails and snail mails about the upcoming election. One as recent as an hour ago. Some were simple bios while others were vailed attacks. While I have tried to ignore some of the trash a recent mailing I received was totally appalling for its inaccuracies by its author, Larry Spencer. This man is not a resident of Bayview, nor a property owner. He is a PAID consultant for Chan Karupiah. In his letter he stated that in 2011 the Bayview Water & Sewer Board quietly raised the water and sewer rates approximately 90%. The rates were in fact raised. Subsequently at an open community meeting, the Water and Sewer Board explained that the primary reason for the increase was to build up the reserves which had been depleted over the years to try to keep the rates at the same low level. They admitted that this was not a wise decision. They further stated that now it was imperative to rebuild the reserves to mitigate costs in case of a catastrophic event, such as loss of a major pumping facility. I was at that meeting as was most of the now nay sayers. In regard to the 3.5 employees Spencer complains about, 2 are trained and skilled maintenance workers. Reading meters is only one small part of the job and their pay needs to be commensurate with their skill. State law requires 2<b> licensed</b> operators be employed by water and sewer departments. </div>
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12.8px/normal arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Spencer’s second point dealt with the Water and Sewer Board being fired by their accountants which is a bold faced lie. The Water and Sewer Board <b>terminated</b> the services of the Magnuson McHugh Group since audits that they were hired to do were not being done. At the April board meeting Chuck Murray put into motion that he and Kim Mattern be given the task of finding a new accounting firm because of the Magnuson Group’s failure to deliver. The board voted unanimously to follow this action and have entered into a contract with Anderson Bros. who are finishing up the 2012 and 2013 audits. In addition they have nearly completed the 2014 pre-audit which is now required by the state and have 9 months to complete the 2014 regular audit. It is important that the Water and Sewer Board is required to follow Idaho Statutes and this is something they cannot ignore. The rest of the letter says nothing of importance.</div>
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12.8px/normal arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
I believe I know who is backing the challenging candidates, it is Chan Karupiah. He does not live in Bayview but is a property owner. However, his property is commercial and his goal is developing the waterfront with more condos. He has been very open about this plan. The only thing keeping his goal from becoming a reality at this point is the Water and Sewer Board rule limiting ER sales. Without the necessary ER’s Chan cannot build any more condos. We have paid dearly for what Holland did here, let’s not let Chan turn Bayview’s waterfront into another Coeur d’Alene Resort vista.<u></u><u></u></div>
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12.8px/normal arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Yes, it is time for all of us to challenge our Water and Sewer Board to make changes and improvements wherever needed. But personally I don’t believe it is to oust the two highly skilled and experienced incumbents who are now running. Both Chuck Murray and Kim Mattern have the <b>technical</b> and <b>fiscal</b> <wbr></wbr>experience that I do not see existing in their challengers. Chuck Murray was appointed by the board about 4 years ago when his predecessor Pat Dow died. Chuck Murray has management, scheduling, negotiating and fiscal experience. Kim was appointed last fall and chosen for her 30+ years of experience in utilities beginning as a meter reader and advancing to a managerial position working with many governmental and regulatory agencies. In the fall Kim Mattern replaced Dave Wilcox who resigned for health reasons. The Water and Sewer Board chose wisely when soliciting their help.</div>
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12.8px/normal arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
I personally will not support any candidate who has chosen to partner with Chan. I cannot trust that their future decisions will not be influenced by a man whose only interest in Bayview is increasing his personal wealth. I am sick at heart and disappointed in the level these attacks have fallen. Be afraid Bayview. Be very afraid.<u></u><u></u></div>

Not that I had not checked my facts this morning, I did and the rechecked this evening.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Bayview Water and
Sewer District has two Board Positions up for election. It appears that some of
the candidates and their supporters have a misunderstanding of facts regarding
the operation of the district and laws governing the district.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 11.25pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One issue is regarding
the district election for board positions. The claim is that there have been no
elections for 20 years. The elections are under the control of a County
Department. For several years there have been only a single candidate for each
board position. According to Idaho Code (Title 34, Chapter 14), the sole
nominee is appointed to the office if the position is uncontested.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another issue that is
not properly characterized is the existence of a Waste Water Permit. A claim
has been made that we are operating without this permit. At the April Bayview
Water and Sewer Board meeting, Ellery Howard, an engineer with JUB Engineering,<strong><span style="font-size: small;">
presented this permit to the board. All the candidates for the board positions
were present during the discussion regarding the permit.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 11.25pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A third issue is a
complaint that Bayview Water and Sewer is following the State Code regarding
record requests. Would people have us ignore State laws because it is not
convenient for them? The law is to enhance transparency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is vital that as many of you who can attend this Public Hearing, do so to demonstrate to the County Commissioners that "we", the united concerned rural citizens protest and oppose any and all developments that aren't in alignment with the current Comprehensive Plan.<br /></div>
Glenn Hill hosted an organizational meeting last week for those wishing to attend and speak in opposition. It appears that Glenn has a few speakers committed to addressing strategic topics. For each speaker needing and planning on 15 minutes of speaking time, it takes 10 - 12 volunteers to donate their own speaking time. Therefore there needs to be a minimum of 40 to 50 attending, and donating time in order for 4 or 5 speakers to benefit from the 15 minute speaking allowance. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br /></div>

It is critical to insure that Swartout & Mort aren't given another project to rely on for examples and models to use in their quest to turn hundreds of acres near Silverwood into an urban center with 1,500+ affordable new homes plus large commercial zones.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">On March 24, 2015 the Coeur d’Alene Press published an article
written by David Cole entitled “Kootenai County seeks input”<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>The
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“input”</i> the article is talking about,
is seeking public input on a draft revision of the existing land-use and
development codes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">It is through this revision process that both of our new
commissioners, David Stewart and Marc Eberlein, who are “private property
rights advocates”, hope to change the existing land-use and development codes
to favor some land developers, some homebuilders, and some lake front
landowners. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">For example, and I am quoting from this CDA Press article, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“the 25-foot ‘undisturbed natural vegetation
buffer’ currently required along waterfront lots has been eliminated,”</i> county
officials said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In defense of this
action Commissioner Marc Eberlein said<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, </i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“there is no scientific evidence that proves such a buffer ‘improves’
water quality.” </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>REALLY!!</span></div>

the health of our lakes and rivers before endorsing the elimination of this
land-use code, and making such an outlandish statement in defense of his
actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps he was not aware that, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“</i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Upper and Lower Twin Lakes, Hauser

non-residential construction and activity have and do contribute nutrients
through site disturbance, poorly maintained septic systems, and nutrient
enriched surface run off (from things like lawn fertilizers). This has led to
deteriorated water quality conditions in our lakes, the effects of which are
best seen in the nearshore waters. The results of increased nutrient
loading is most visible on our smaller lakes where the water has turned murky,
bays have become weed filled and unwanted algae blooms occur regularly.
Fernan Lake, Hayden Lake and Hauser Lake have all experienced toxic blue green
algae blooms over the last several years. Blue green algae makes the
water unsafe to swim in or to utilize for drinking water.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></span><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">(<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">KEA Advocates for

<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Perhaps Commissioner Eberlein and Commissioner Stewart need to
publically declare exactly whose private property rights they are
protecting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps they can clarify for
us under what circumstances individual property rights cease, if indeed they do
at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Using the example above, suppose I am a lake front property owner.
Don’t I have the right to develop my property right down to the water’s
edge?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What if by doing so I destroy the
25 foot natural vegetative buffer at the water’s edge? What if all my
waterfront neighbors choose to do the same thing, and by our individual actions
we help contribute to the pollution of the lake to the extent that it becomes
un-usable to the entire community? Do I bare any responsibility to the
community just because I exercised my individual private property rights?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;">

to Your Rural Lifestyle</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There
is a proposed 86 unit low-income, high density housing </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">development potentially for an area
near Silverwood. This plan would also include a </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">500 acre sewage treatment plant.
This proposal is a smaller part of an anticipated 1,000 unit </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Housing development. The County
Hearing Examiner has already recommended approval. All that </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">is needed is formal approval by the
Board of County Commissioners. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">There will be a meeting on Thursday
March 12<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> 2015 at 6 pm in the Kootenai County Administration </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Building on the 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>
floor. If you do not agree with this proposal speak up now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Right now what you can do to voice
your opinion is call 208-446-1070 and let them know your opposition to this
proposal </span><b><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 107%;">Case # ZON14-0003 or

Your voice needs to be heard before March 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup>, 2015!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> Personally we moved to this area for a reason, we like the rural lifestyle but this proposal is a threat to how we live our lives. I attended a meeting in Athol Tuesday February 24 at the Athol Community Center, along with about 300 + other people. Voiced concerns are the threat to our infrastructure and our taxes. This project was proposed before and was shot down. The area includes the old Rickel Ranch. The developers are saying they will help the employees of Silverwood?? Currently the Athol area has a 13% foreclosure rate and our ABC Food Bank takes care of 200 families per month now. I do not think anyone present was against any low-income housing but it seems to me we would be doing a dis-service to the people this project would supposedly help. Also the developer plans on another city?? This plan is not well thought out and should not be approved. </span></div>

For me this was a long learning process. Mark Vogt told me that it costs nothing to push the button on the camera, and photos that don't meet you standards can be easily deleted. Soo with me I had lots of deletions!<br />

<br />
On November 26, 2014 Mario's and LOU joined forces to give the Bayview Community a free meal. We, Dean and I, were pleased to be a part of the function. And the function went very well. If you missed we are sorry that you did not partake in this opportunity to bring the Bayview Community together with one of our local businesses. As Jackie Lloyd said in her thank you note:<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">All of sudden I look around and realize that I have not
contributed to my blog. Hmmm, am I lazy nope just think I get too many projects
going at once!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today is a great example, got up, took my shower and got
ready to ready on my stained glass project. Dean started playing with the four
wheeler and all of the snow. The longer he was gone the more I worried! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To say we got a lot of snow is put thing mildly, what
created issues is the rain that has followed. As usual float homes are listing,
a boat shed collapsed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Phone call from a friend, search for specific books at
Amazon, and the a walk down to the Apartments because I wanted to make sure all
was well down there. Decision to locate someone who has a bigger plow, now I
look around and the day is getting darker and I feel like I have not
accomplished anything!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I guess that is how the month of December went … I did
have some glorious days of walking with camera in hand and hunting for that
perfect “eagle picture”. I have made headway on my stained glass project, kept
my head above water. Sometimes it seems that we have not accomplished a great
deal but then we sit back and have to say maybe we did better than we thought!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
