The Center storage addition is quickly taking shape. After many months of waiting for the various permits to
be issued by the County, the work began in earnest. The foundation was poured and sealed along with the new
basement floor, the second story floor built, new walls erected and the site backfilled. Doors between the
addition and the Center proper were cut ahead of schedule while awaiting the delivery of the trusses. The new
doors and windows have been ordered but there is a three week delivery date with an approximate eta of the
13th. We hope for sooner, but that is yet to be seen. What we need now is more dry weather, of course not
good for the environment, but helpful for the project.
The Annual Meeting and Social took place on September 16th with an attendance of 45 folks. The meeting
covered the financial report, building schedule update, center manager report, garden manager report, vote on
the memorial wall amendment as well as a vote for two new board members. The amendment centered on allowing the memorial wall endowment principal to be used for the garden maintenance. The meeting became
very lively regarding the amendment with much discussion, and motions, but was finally defeated based on a
violation of the Center’s Bylaws and Roberts Rules of Order, presented by Ron Bockstruck. Ron stated that
since the exact wording of the amendment was not presented at the 2013 Regular/Annual Meeting for a vote at
2014 meeting, the amendment could not be passed. The Board with suggestions from the attendees will rewrite
the amendment and presented at our next regular/annual meeting, to be voted on at a following special
meeting. Our final point of business was the election of two new officers to replace Jackie Lloyd and Jenny
Prince. The only two candidates were Sue Damon and Judy Robinson who were elected unanimously.
A few notes on the ongoing activities. Yoga will go back to its original schedule of Mondays and Thursdays
at 10am. Zumba will resume on October 8th with a new schedule of Wednesdays at 9am and Saturdays at
10am. Tai Chi will continue on Fridays at 9:30am until further notice. Also Friday Night at the Movies will
start its new season on October 3rd featuring “The Book Thief” and then on the 24h with an old
Walter Matthau classic “A New Leaf”. Movies will be shown every 1st and 3rd Friday of each month through
June unless a conflict arises. The Community Council will be sponsoring “OKTOBERFEST” on October 11 at
6pm. Please come and join in the festivities and good German style food. On the 16 th of the month from 9 to
11am we will be doing our Fall Garden Clean-up and your help is needed, please bring your own tools.
Remember many hands make the work light.
I bid you all a fond farewell as Secretary of the Foundation Board, but remain a staunch supporter and
manager of the Bayview Community Center. In that light I implore you to support the Center through a
financial donation. Please send your offering to PO Box 493, Bayview.

FLOAT HOME HISTORY by Linda Hackbarth
Although a lone float home can be seen in a pre-1910 photo, more began to appear in Scenic Bay before
1920. Many were built in Sandpoint and floated down the lake. The original homes were shanties for avid
fishermen and women who visited the lake. They contained a place to store a boat and modest
accommodations for overnight. Several folks purchased small lakeshore lots and extended a dock to their
float home.
Some of the early float homes were situated near the railroad dock at what would become J.D.'s Resort.
Sanitation was crude. Originally the out houses sat on the front deck. Gradually regulations forced home
owners to place their latrines on the shore. Later holding tanks were required.
When Washington Brick & Lime closed its operation in the 1930s Jim and Mary Feely, grandparents of
Chuck Waller, opened Feely's Resort where Scenic Bay Marina is located today. Many float homes soon
appeared. Now four separate docks are lined with both original and modern units.
Moving to the south around the bay is J.D.’s, once the home of Wiley’s, the earliest boat livery business
in town. Elmer Dreisbach and his wife first opened a tavern on board the tug Dora Powell before building
on shore and naming their business after their son J.D., who ran the bar for many years. The dock next to
J.D's was owned by Tom and Mary Krotzer. The family moved to Bayview about 1920 and managed a
marina with several float homes. Later Jess Puckett operated a fishing guide business from that dock,
including a famous client Bing Crosby.
Then came the Gasman Resort started by Selma Gasman and her husband, located between Krotzer's
and the hotel. It became a haven for both float homes and power boats. The Gasman's were bought out by
Glen Daniels, who in turn sold to Ambrose Boileau. The name Boileau's Resort remained when the
business was sold to the Fiscus family.
A single dock extended from the shore to the south of Boileau’s in front of the hotel. In 1942 the hotel
and dock became part of Farragut Naval Training Center. The government built five large boat sheds to
house naval launches and whaleboats. Most of that complex became Bayview Marina when purchased
from the Navy by Davis and Powers after WWII. When it became the Bubb-Johnson Marina, thirty float
homes, a boat repair shop, rental cottages, and a mobile home park were added to the holdings.
Early float homes could also be found along the southern shoreline at Hudson Bay owned by
Bill Hudson. More were added beginning in the 1950s when Alvin and Nina McDonald and their son Jim
operated the resort.
Gradually the original float homes were remodeled, many adding a second story and modern amenities.
Most owners retained the boat slip in the rear of the unit but enhanced the living accommodations. When
Bayview developed a sewer system, all float homes were connected, assuring a pollution-free lake.
The community and businesses are invited to donate to the
“Historic Bayview” sign project. All contributions to this effort
will be appreciated. So far committee members have proposed
designing signs to honor the history of the hotel, railroad depot,
school and bell, Buttonhook Restaurant, lime kilns, float homes,
and fishing. Anyone with other ideas should contact Ted Bare,
Linda Hackbarth, Ralph Jones, or Jenny Prince. Dave Wilcox
has already built a prototype post and platform for the signs
with help from the Navy base.
Donations can be dropped at Ralph’s Coffee House or mailed
to Bayview Historical Society, P.O. Box 473, Bayview, ID
83803. Make checks payable to the Bayview Historical Society.

LPOYC News - October 2014
The “Spud Cup Regatta” was held over the Labor Day weekend and was hosted by the
Sandpoint club. Two of the boats from the club here came in first and second. Legal Alien,
skippered by Tim Redfern won the “Spud Cup” and Eye Eye skippered by David Cohen
came in second. Congratulations to both skippers, and crew.
So far in the fall series in fleet #1, the ranking in order are Team Spirit, Smooth,
Legal Alien, Eye Eye, and Tenacious. In fleet #4, the ranking in order are Noeta, Emerald,
Epee, Route 66, and Luck Dragon.
By the time this issue of Bylines is printed the racing season will be over and the scoring
will have been tallied for the various club awards. The awards banquet is scheduled for the
24th of October. The Commodore’s Cup Regatta will have been held on October 4th and 5th,
that being the last event of the year. The days and weeks after that will be spent winterizing
the boats staying in the lake for the winter and hauling various boats out for winter storage
and repair. In the November issue, I’ll have the final results plus the
various awards.
Hope to see you on the water in the spring.
Have a warm, cozy winter.

slippers. Cinderella your slipper is at the

Kokanee Spawning Habitat Project To Start in October
By Andy Dux, IDFG, Principal Fisheries Research Biologist
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is starting a multi-year project to
improve kokanee spawning habitat in Idlewilde Bay. Small gravel will be
added to the lake bottom in an area currently dominated by larger rock that
cannot be used for spawning. Creating a layer of smaller gravel over the top
of this coarser rock will provide an abundance of high-quality spawning
habitat for kokanee. The gravel will be added to depths that are not
influenced by winter drawdowns. The project site will start immediately to
the west of the Eagle boat ramp in Farragut State Park and extend about 0.4
miles farther to the west. About 3900 cubic yards of gravel will be added to
the lake bottom over the next three years, but only about 1300 cubic yards
will be added this year. Contractors are scheduled to begin work on October
6th and work will be completed by October 31st. The Eagle boat ramp will
remain open during the project; however, the lanes on the western half of the
ramp will be closed when contractors are working. Expect to see dump truck
traffic on the road system in Farragut State Park and a large barge
operating. The barge will be used to transport the gravel down the lakeshore
and an excavator onboard the barge will be used to place the gravel. All gravel
being added to the lake will be pre-washed to avoid adding sediment to the
lake. IDFG has obtained all appropriate permits to conduct this project. If you
have questions, please contact Andy Dux at 208-770-3760 or the Bayview
Field Office at 208-683-9218.

There went sunny, lazy-hazy September. Many of our colors are changing in the gardens, and perennials are becoming yellow, scraggly, and just plain finished for the season. The garden soils still
need water with the autumn sun and winds; but we do start gently tidying and cleaning up the gardens. The third Thursday in October, EE-DAH-HAW Garden Club arrives at the gardens to work
for several hours. This is when the big work happens cleaning up the garden beds, pulling annuals
& weeds, and trimming perennials. This is how we put the gardens to sleep for the winter. We
will also add mulch covering to perennials and roses if we have had a hard freeze by then. We protect some of our shrubs and roses with wire enclosures so our local deer can't have their way in our
gardens. Fall chores continue with pulling stakes and plant supports, cleaning the garden shed
and tools-storing & cleaning bird baths, garden art and furniture. Our water feature is put to sleep
also, and the pump pulled and cleaned. The lawn mower is winterized-the blade pulled for sharpening. There are always more weeds to spray. The lawns will get one more winter feed before the
final mow sometime in October. Then we have our watering system blown out and winterized for
the
season. Snow markers are placed before the ground freezes around the garden perimeters. That marks the end of our gardening season at our gardens. A nice time to look forward to
family and friends, enjoying the holidays, and letting the hands and back heal up.
Thank you, thank you to all who have helped with the care of the lawns and gardens at the Bayview
Community Center this season. It has been an awesome season. Big thanks to all who have signed
up to adopt a section at the gardens, care for the lawns, spray for weeds, secret weeding, and
maintenance for 2015! We will be talking in the spring. Bruce & Judy Robinson, have been our
very first adopt a garden section for maintenance gardeners. I can now say that they have been doing this for years! They have redesigned and beautified the garden bed along the building of the
lower parking lot. They have even bought and brought their own plants and mulches for this big
long garden bed. Here's to you two and all that you do! Your dedication is greatly appreciated and

SKIP’S PLACE
The community or burg of Bayview lost Skip Wilcox last year. It seems however that his
legacy is never ending. All of us miss Skip but there are constant reminders throughout
Bayview and Athol. Skip had a deep love of Bayview, probably because of his rich history
here. We all do what we can to keep his memory alive. Donations are collected every month
at The Chamber meeting for the ABC Food Bank just one of Skip’s passions. The apron he
wore during functions involving food was located and repaired. Paul Stanton now has the
honor of wearing the apron. Skip’s name is on the Memorial Garden Wall, Recently Carl
and Wendy Costello rejuvenated the sign that adorned Skip’s house “Skip’s Place”. On a
gorgeous September day the sign was placed at the Bayview Children’s Park. All agreed that
would be the best place for the sign. Skip used many long creative hours to get a special
place for our younger children to play.

Look Up – Keep a Happy Heart
Marsha Ritzheimer
I have recently had a rash of dogs with
porcupine quills in their muzzles come
in to the clinic and thought it would be a good idea to talk about what to
do if this happens to your dog. It seems to be a very common occurrence
here in Northern Idaho. As most of us know, porcupine quills are
barbed, so they resist being pulled and will work their way deep into the
dog’s muzzle if left untreated. There is an old wives' tale that cutting the
quills will deflate them and make them easier to pull. This is not true,
the quills are barbed and still require careful extraction.
Some dogs will tolerate quills being pulled at home if there are just a
few in easy to reach spots. Most dogs end up with quills in the roof of
their mouth, lips, gums, etc . and need to be anesthetized for removal.
Don’t assume the quills you can see are the only ones there. The quills
should be removed promptly, otherwise the dog will paw at the quills
(breaking them off underneath the skin) making them difficult to remove.
The quills in the mouth tend to soften with saliva and break off when we
attempt to remove them.
Quills left untreated can migrate to other areas of the body and cause
infection and abscesses. The most remarkable story I have is of a 2 year
old dog that came into the clinic to be spayed and when the uterus was
removed, a porcupine quill was found penetrating the uterus! The owner
reports that the dog had gotten in a tangle with a porcupine a few months
earlier. The dog was spayed uneventfully and luckily the quill had not
caused any infection in this particular dog.
Porcupine quills are only one of many dangers to roaming dogs.
In town, cars and other dogs can also be a problem, so it is best to keep
pets fenced in at home or on leash whenever walking to avoid the many
problems and accidents lurking.
According to Maxine, September 22nd, was the first day of fall and now “we can stop
sweating from the heat and start sweating over the heating bills”. (She is so funny and
so right!)
Some gardens were hit pretty hard by the ‘killing frost’ that arrived before the official
fall date. Others survived without a trace of wilt. It is amazing how temperatures will
fluctuate depending on the different locations. Sometimes you don’t know whether to
turn up the heat or just dress warmer for a few hours.
This time of year brings the most glorious colors. To me, the first sign of fall colors
are the “burning bushes”. How they can go from green to such a shade of dark red is
truly amazing. Of course many of the bushes, around town, are getting so big and now
that they have turned such a vibrant color, you know you are seeing something truly
spectacular.
The trees aren’t too far behind the burning bushes. I’m already seeing clusters of yellow and orange appearing around town. When the trees are in their full fall colors,
Bayview is as scenic as any town anywhere. Added to her beauty are the surrounding
hills. Everywhere you look is an explosion of color. Keep your cameras ready. So
many sight combinations will be one of a kind and never repeated.
Two more souls have left Bayview and joined other dear friends and family in the
great hereafter. Dave Bergeson and Bear Rose were two men that I feel blessed to have
known. Their wit and laughter were so unique to each of them. When I look back, on so
many memories, it is with a smile and a happy heart. I know their loved ones are suffering, especially since the losses were so unexpected but having them in our lives was the
greatest of gifts. Dave and Bear will never be forgotten!
Linda Hackbarth and her Bayview Historical committee are undertaking a project to
create a town walking tour, which would include historical markers, for the various
points of interest around Bayview. I think this is a phenomenal idea since Bayview has
quite a variety of history. As with any project, this one will require lots of hard work,
cooperation and donations before it will be completely realized. Let’s support Linda’s
endeavor and help bring this idea to fruition.
