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!

Letter from Randall Butt
Summer 2015 park update.
By Randall Butt, Park Manager
At 10 a.m. on July 25th Farragut State Park
will host a ribbon cutting as we open the Discover History wing at the Museum
at the Brig. 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. Displays
are in progress and will be updated over the next few years on a variety of
topics. 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.
While preparation for the new wing has been ongoing for a
few years, the opening is tied to celebrating Farragut State Park’s 50th
anniversary. As with any anniversary it
is a time to look back at those years now behind us and look forward to those
approaching. On July 20th, at
6p.m. at the Bayview Community Center, Farragut staff will be available to
discuss all that is happening with regard to the park. In addition to the meeting on July 20th,
the park will have a suggestion form available later this summer to get
feedback on the activities offered in the park.
The questionnaire is similar to the one put out in 2003 and
is the first step in a multi-year process.
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.
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.
It also contributed to the construction of Gilmore campground, and the recent
re-construction of a second RV sanitation station.
In the meantime park visitors will see some projects
already in motion:
-A trail surfacing project going from Sunrise to the
Whitetail Campground.
-Upgrades to the Sunrise group use shelter area, and at
the Scott Field Group Area.
-Trail improvement and information signing at the Scout
Pole area.
-The Little Black Bear disc golf course expanded with an
additional 10 holes added.
-The addition of features at the Viewpoint.
-Protection of the Beaver Bay Beach peninsula.
-Planning for a central entrance at Brig Road.
-and in addition to the dedication of the Discovery wing
at the Museum at the Brig on July 25th, 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.

WAKE UP BAYVIEW
WAKE UP BAYVIEW
When are the people of Bayview going to wake up?
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.
When will you all say enough!
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 5th
St. 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.
When will Bayview wake up?
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.
When are the two sheds in Harborview that were removed going
to be replaced? There should be four sheds there not two?
When are you going to wake up Bayview? Hopefully not before
it is too late.
