Last Weekend Pictures

Last weekend, I wrote four stories in and around Athol. One didn't publish, that being the fire at Conoco. The rest published, but without pictures. Space restrictions were the culprit. So that some of you will have access to these I am publishing them here. Enjoy.

Exhaustion

Last week-end just about did me in. First, starting at 9:30 am I bounced up to Athol to M/C their parade. Thence over to the City Park for the games and other activities. I watched with amazement at the 4 or 5 year old young lady that walked away with the pie eating contest. Walking around with a donation can can clear a path real fast, but I managed to find several people that actually came toward me to donate. After about 2:00 pm, I decided to head down the road a piece to see if I could catch the camel lady at home. I did, as exhibited by my fearless ride into the sunset.

On my way down to the camel, using old hwy 95, I noticed heavy traffic coming toward me from the south. That always is a sign that the main highway is blocked. Sure enough it was, what with one fatality at the scene, two Medstar helicopter rescues, and the involvement of 5 ambulances, from every department in North Idaho. Northern Lakes, Coeur d'Alene, Rathdrum, Spirit Lake and of course, Timberlake were involved in the action.

After returning to the park, photographing many events, I decided it was time to slake my thirst, so I headed for the Legion, where the Old Timers Jam was scheduled at around four.
That was a real treat, what with the Cunningham brothers, Chuck and Norma Bell, and just about everyone that is anyone in local music performed. Looking up, a black ugly column of smoke was rising nearby. I grabbed the camera, and scooted down the street where a van on fire had been drove right up to the Crossroads Conoco and parked. The occupants bailed, leaving it to burn. Luckily, the gas tank burned, opposed to exploding, which limited the damage mostly to the vehicle itself. Back to the jam, then down to the Captain's Wheel where the Bells were playing. Chuck and Norma, who are retired, were convinced to make an appearance, highlighting three and one half generations on the stage. (The half generation represented by the twin girls who are both expecting.)

Thus Saturday was in the books. I slept well. Sunday, I had to write three columns, representing around 1500 words, for my Idaho Voice section of the Spokesman-Review, which I write for and publishes on Thursdays. I have never tried to produce that much in one day, which was mentally exhausting to say the Least. Well, I'm back to normal or as close to normal as I get. Now for next weeks news ...

Busy Saturday, Indeed

I hardly know where to start. I guess at the beginning. I popped into Athol for my appointment as Master of Ceremonies at the Athol Daze Parade. That accomplished, I saunter over to the Athol Park, where all kinds of fun stuff was going on. I circulated with a donation can, which was intended along with many other fund raising venues, until people were hissing at me. I took a time out to drive down to the home of a lonely Bactrian Camel, pastured in south Athol. This time, I managed to catch the property owner at home.

As I interviewed the lady, who was a camel trainer, I asked her if I could take a picture of her on the camel. She said no, but how about me? OK, I did it. Catch the entire story in my column that is published Thursdays. Oh, and did I tell you I chased down another fire?

The Bells

I would like to clarify some issues. Many rumors were being passed around, at the speed of light, as happens in small towns. One such rumor which was repeated to me, concerned a fine family. I'm talking about the Bells. The rumor suggested that Chuck Bell was ill. Well it turns out that he is in fine fettle and will appear along side his bride of many years, Norma, at the Captain's Wheel, Saturday night with the whole family. Chuck and Norma, always favorites, have been missed these many months.It is hoped that the right word is spread around this time. I sent two or three e-mails to people that I felt were close to the situation, and was wrong in doing so.

I hope all of you will join me at the Athol Daze Parade Saturday, at 10:00 am. God, I wish I cudda got that camel for the parade. We are going to have a great time with the parade, a fund raising auction, kids games, (how old can we still be considered kids?) There will be music in the park following all of these other activities. Following the music in the park, we understand that the Legion has opened their facilities for those old timers that go WAY back in Athol history. They will partake in a monster jam following the activities in the park. George Bruner will officiate at the jam, which is only proper, since he is getting kind of long in the tooth hisself.

Returning to Roots

I have decided that I can either be a player, or I can be a reporter. I can't think of a single instance that both can coexist. I still have opinions, and they will from time to time be heard.

What I really want to do is collect information from various sources, both for my blog, and print column. Where my print efforts are non-confrontational and attempt to be objective, still I think that there is a carry over, with some not understanding the difference. I will, for instance, not attempt to find out from the various venues, what upcoming entertainment will be. Everyone knows, here in Bayview, or in Athol, who I am, what I do, and how to reach me. If there is a happening going on, I will print it in the paper, if it is newsworthy. This generally appplies to entertainment, but is not limited to that alone.

Hereafter, if entertainment is to be offered, and the sponsors want me to publish same, I will require them to seek me out, not the opposite. I haven't enough time to beg business owners to supply me with information. You got it? you want free publicity? you call or e-mail me.

Lakes Highway District Election

I don't normally write about these kinds of elections, but there is some very misleading information going around, in an attempt to vote out two of the three incumbents. I live in Bayview, where Summer and Winter sees great service from the highway district. This Summer, our local roads have been freshly chip sealed. Last Winter, the snow plows were right on the spot, so that commuters would not slip and slide on their way to work.

I'm afraid there is some demagoguery going on here that is political, rather than functional. When a voter receives a letter denouncing the incumbents for paying their help too much, like wages are too high in North Idaho? Another remark refers to the present commissioners having experience in the road maintenance business. Like that is a disadvantage? Perhaps our elected officials in the past have been elected without any qualifications, but I wouldn't count that as a plus. Suggesting that this equates a corrupted buddy system is a reach that doesn't hold water.

We all have received a letter from Larry Spencer urging us to vote against the incumbents. Larry is a good guy, but he is against virtually everything that is government. He has vociferously campaigned against the Kroc Center, Coeur d'Alene's local improvement district, is fighting with Kootenai County over planning & Zoning issues. He jumps into campaigns in districts that he doesn't live in to lend support to those that are like minded, politically, which is waaay to the right.

I urge those that are in our district to vote based on the service we get, not the results of a misleading letter sent at the last minute before election. One remark was made to me that a citizen is pissed because Bob Holland and customers take up all of the parking. Duh, Road Districts do not enforce parking laws, nor do they create them. The County Commissioners do that. Complain to the Sheriff if a vehicle is not moved for 24 hours, not the road maintenance people.

If anyone has evidence of corruption, they should take all the FACTS to the Kootenai County Prosecutor. Innuendos are not evidence, only shoddy campaigning.

Camels in Athol?

Recently spotted Bactrian Camel in Athol Area. You'll have to read my column in the Spokesman Review August 9 for the story ...

ATV Starts Fire Near Athol, Idaho

The fire that burned over 80 acres and threatened several homes and a church was most likely caused by an ATV, or four wheeler as they are known in these parts. Fire officials have confirmed to me that it is better than a 90% chance that riders off road paralleling highway 95 near Athol, Idaho, sparked the fire. Several witnesses observed this activity just moments before the fire broke out. The pink circle above is the ignition point. It lies a few feet from highway 95 in a swale that ATV riders commonly use.

As of Noon today, level two fire restrictions are in place which prohibits such off road activities among many others. No smoking outdoors, no off road activities by ANY motor vehicle.Devices such as chain saws between 1:00 pm and 1:00 am are prohibited. All outdoor burning is prohibited. Thoughtless persons caused the large property loss from the last fire by not using common sense. The lack thereof tends to force authorities into severe measures to protect the rest of us. Our fields and forest are tinder dry just waiting for any small spark to set off a firestorm.

Later Friday afternoon, a local swore that a cigarette caused the above fire. He said it was in the Coeur d'Alene Guess, so it must be true. Oh how nice it must be to be so solid in ones opinions. At first glance, with the fire starting along side of the road, it would appear to a reporter that wasn't interested in spending much time on the story, that a cigarette caused it. Brad Wagner, Incident Commander on the fire, and employee of BLM, said empahatically that is was not a cigarette. Later, Timberlake Fire District confirmed several reports that an ATV had been seen just minutes before the blaze broke out riding through the dry grass.

Bottom line, is that if we expect the newspapers to lead us with accuracy, we had better hire more accurate people. Oh, and the fire burned in excess of 100 acres, the 40 referred to in the Press being the part south of Remington Road. The fire hopped over Remington Road and burned to the driveway leading into the Baptist Church. BLM firefighters from the Tongass Nat'l Forest in Alaska held the line there.

Athol Daze

Athol Daze are upon us. Get out the car, drive to Athol, Idaho for an old fashioned parade and street fair, Saturday, August 11. The town will be teaming with floats, old cars, all kinds of parade entries. Citizen of the Year will be announced following the parade, along with the ever popular “Money in the Straw” game. In the City Park, to which this year’s fund raising is for, will be an auction, music by” Doug Reed and the In betweens,” arts and crafts, food booths. For those early risers, the Saddle-Up across the street from the activities, claim they make the best breakfast anywhere. You might want to find out.

Proceeds from the fund raising events at Athol Daze will be used to develop the new addition to City Park. Donations are very welcome. Athol Daze will last at least until 4:00 pm. Questions regarding the park or the parade should be addressed to Charlotte Hooper, Athol City Clerk. 208-683-2101.

Post #149 of the Athol American Legion will provide the color guard for the parade which starts at 10:00 am. Those that want to participate in that parade, must line up behind the Athol Elementary School by 9:00 am. The Legion Juniors have been selling raffle tickets since spring for the drawing to be held after the Jr’s dinner at the legion. Dinner at 6:00 pm, drawing around 7:30 pm. Cash prizes are 1st $300, 2nd $150 and 3rd $75.00 Proceeds to be used for needy Vets and their children. Party in the Park will include a beer wagon sponsored by the Sons of the Legion.

Fund raising for the City Park is the theme this year. About 3/4 of an acre has been purchased for addition to the existing 1 acre. What exists now is a flat bare lot. Some goals are a skateboard park, benches, trees and other uses to be determined. Generous donations have already been made or pledged by area businesses. Huckleberry Nursery is donating a Red Sunrise Maple tree, Kootenai Electric with $2500. Merritt Brothers Lumber $1000. Coeur d’Alene Paving with $500, Edgewood Log Homes is building two log benches and Avista is expected to chip in, too. In kind donations have been great, too. Kootenai Electric is donating the light standards and floods, Reed Enterprises, Inc. 12 yards of screened top soil, Interstate Concrete with 10 yards of concrete, Bob Rickel donated well over 30 hours with his earth moving equipment and many others from individuals. Liz Hasbrouck and Bob Pekar donated a substantial amount for playground equipment, which is already on order.

Not all activities are fun ones. The recent fire South of Athol outlined some of the dangers inherent with sloppy safety practices. Idaho Department of Lands has issued stage two fire restrictions that exclude the following practices. NO outside burning of any kind, nor any flame or combustion allowed including smoking outside a building. Propane cookers are permitted. No vehicles are permitted off road during this fire emergency. That includes dirt bikes and four wheelers. A probable cause for the recent Athol fire, since it started in the grassy swale next to highway 95, is ATV activity that was observed before the fire ignited. A discarded cigarette was discounted as the cause by Bureau of Land Management Incident Commander, Brad Wagner. The public is urged to take immediate action to report any violations to the nearest Fire Department.

Silverwood Celebrates 20 Years

Number 7 rollin' with Corky & Chet driving. Walt, William and Tom off duty.

Your reporter was fortunate to meet the one of the original General Managers of Silverwood Theme Park recently. He had great stories to tell about the early days. Silverwood opened in 1987, when the park consisted of the Train, Main Street and Lindy’s Restaurant. Starting more as a hobby than a business it soon got out of control. After the Country Carnival was built, then the Log Flume and Thunder Canyon, it became a different park altogether. In the beginning, the sole entertainment was the train, with the Monarch Mountain Boys, plus Jack the conductor. Later, the High Moon Saloon featured stage acts. With the Main Street Theater hosting stage shows, they featured puppets, jugglers and other great family acts. Stories that could be told. The great talent that came, performed their jobs, then moved on to other things.

Your reporter was one such person. Upon retirement, I was interviewed by a delightful young lady, Paula Andrews. My career had spanned forty years in sales and marketing. Paula wanted me to be a front gate ticket cashier. We found out soon after the reason. Paula was Area Manager for the gate. About half way through the season, The train conductor quit, leaving the position open. Gary Norton liked banjo players. I had a new job. Entertaining took hold like no other effort in my career. Later, like many Cast members, learning more skills, I became a ride operator, went back to the train, worked in human resources and other jobs.

Silverwood today is nothing like it was in the beginning. Only the 1915 train, built by the H.K. Porter Company remained the same. ‘Ol number seven as she is referred to has been a staple for many years with up to two hundred thirty passengers each run during the height of the season, with little seven hauling 5 passenger cars around a course that exceeds three miles. Number seven originally was a coal burning engine operated by the Eureka & Palisades RR. They hauled miners to and from town to the mines in Northern Nevada. After several years in storage, it was sold to Bill Harrah of Harrah’s Club Reno fame. Harrah collected everything he could get his hands on if it were old. Cars, boats antique aircraft and old trains. Finally Bill got old himself and passed on. His family sold off the collection in 1986.

A curious fellow named Gary Norton had recently purchased the old Henley Aerodrome. An ardent flyer and owner of several antique aircraft, he wandered on down to Reno to see what was going on. Falling in love with a lady that was 71 years old he outbid Disneyland for the train. He had one problem. He didn’t have any tracks, maintenance facility or train station. He went home and built all of those. Converting the Engine to burn fuel oil he opened the park in 1987 to give train rides and sell snacks and cold drinks. After all, building a theme park in the middle of nowhere would be folly, right?

Today, tens of thousands visitors flock to a modern Theme Park exists with over 65 rides, a huge water park, with Two wave pools numerous slides two wooden roller coasters and brand new this year, an almost doubling of the water park with new attractions such as Avalanche Mountain, a second wave pool and lazy river and toddler springs where the, ah, Toddlers splash and play in safety. Of course this is just an illusion. After all, who in their right mind would build this in the middle of nowhere.

Pete Peightal 1938-2007

I'm going to share some of the stories that I have written for the Spokesman-Review for the benefit of those that didn't catch the print version:

Sons of the Pioneers are leaving us these days. No, not the Country singers. We are talking about the old guard residents that logged, mined, built roads, created the infrastructure that we enjoy today. Rough around the edges doesn’t even start to describe these folks. Today, we are going to talk about such a man that passed away recently.

A party was held recently, at the Vista Bay Marina where his Daughter, Debbie works. Most folks in these circumstances would hold a wake, or memorial service. Pete wouldn’t have stood still for that. He would have wanted one last great party where the last person standing would hoist a toast to his memory, just before crawling out the door. We didn’t stay long enough to determine if the outcome was such, but a packed house of “Who’s Who” of Bayview and surrounding area filled the room with stories, pictures, scrapbooks.

Pete was a hard worker, a hard drinker and in his younger days, a hard scrapper. He never backed off from a challenge, whether physical, or a neighbor in need. Pete Peightal gave, then gave some more. When the old Bayview School house was torn down because the foundation was judged to be unstable, he labored for days to take that stubborn building to the ground. Like Pete, the school house was tough too. When gravel was needed for the new Community Center rising in it’s place, Pete donated it from the gravel pit that he operated. When any neighborhood project needed some help, he was there.

Some of the stories that were alleged Saturday were highly entertaining. One was about a septic system that he had installed out on Cape Horn. The owner supposedly refused to pay for the job. Rather than placing a lien on the property, he just climbed back up on his backhoe, drove out to the site and proceeded to destroy all that he had built. He wasn’t much for lawyers. He took the direct approach.

When Vista Bay Marina Docks caught fire and burned to the water in 1977, Pete was out there rebuilding them. Then there was the time that Pete was backing a boat and trailer down the boat launch in Bayview. About halfway down, the hitch broke, causing the boat and trailer to go sailing perfectly down to the water, ending up perfectly moored a foot from the dock. His friend, Pat Dow, was heard to remark that it was the best he’d ever done.

The only sadness we saw at Vista Bay that day, was Pete’s Blue Heeler, Bart, walking up to everyone as they mingled, looking for the master that hadn’t come home yet. You see, Pete’s Daughter, Debbie, couldn’t get the dog to stay home. She was all he had left and he followed her around slavishly, not letting her out of his sight.

In another sad note, we reported a story about three surviving ladies that had operated the Athol Fire Department in the ‘60s. That story was published June 21 with a picture of Joreen Bohn and Marie Allen, fire engine driver, age 93. Marie died July 11. The picture and story can be found in my blog, posted June 15. She was quite a gal ...

Biker Invasion

In excess of 100 Motorcycles turned this quiet little village into a mini-Sturgess Saturday, as seven or 8 minutes of single file motorcycles roared into town. The Captain's Wheel hosted the outsized group for lunch, which taxed the facility greatly, as over 150 people wanted service at the same time. The only excitement was an EMT call for a bee sting allergy, oh, and the hard working staff at the Wheel putting out record numbers of lunches and other refreshments.

Two hours later, most were gone, leaving only the ones that were enjoying the setting left, too laid back to continue on to wherever the next stop was planned. One could imagine the Town giving a great sigh as normality returned.

Fire Claims Storage Shed

A Sunday afternoon fire consumed the 38X36 foot storage shed of Will and Connie Collins, Located on Perimeter Road in Bayview. Lost were two snowmobiles, a Harley, an ATV and a 14 foot boat and motor. The Timberlake fire dept. promptly answered the call with an assist from Spirit Lake which provided a tanker truck.

A large assist was credited to Dave Vig, who cranked up his backhoe to assist the fire department in tearing into the burning structure. After the fire was almost out, Will was heard to say, "It's just stuff. It can all be replaced. We are just glad nobody got hurt."

Pete Peightal 1938-2007

A celebration of Pete Peightal's life was hosted by his Daughter, Debbie, Saturday at Vista Bay Marina. One of the most colorful characters in Bayview history, most of old time Bayview residents turned out for the pot luck lunch. Aside from the great food, stories abounded about Pete. His lifestyle was profane, he played hard and worked even harder.

Most stories about Pete were of the humorous variety. But one theme was dominate, It was his generosity. It would appear that Pete never said no to someone or organization that needed help. Professionally an excavation contractor, he owned his own gravel pit and screening equipment. Most community raffles would include a truck load of gravel, donated, of course.

Pete was a throwback to the old days of hard drinking, hard working, hell raising. Much of the infrastructure in Bayview and surrounding areas were built, or contributed to by Pete. The only sad face in the room at the celebration was of his Blue Heeler, Bart. He walked up to each and every person, sniffing as if trying to find Pete. He wouln't let Debbie out of sight, not wanting to lose the only anchor he had left. Pete, you will be missed.

Bluegrass Festival

For those of you that remember the last Sandpoint, Idaho Bluegrass Festival, it was held in 1990 at the fairgrounds. The lead group was a bunch of unbelievable pickers that called themselves "The Seldom Scene." Well they are only seldom seen here in the Inland Northwest. This group plays all over the country in just about any venue that none of the band members have outstanding warrants.

For the first time since '90, this group is going to play at a festival near here. Medical Lake at City Park is hosting a killer Festival August 10-11-12. The lead group? Who else. The Seldom Scene will be heard from Sunday at 3:00 PM, but there will be several very good Bluegrass groups the rest of the weekend. I'll be there, for sure.

For detailed information on the other acts, or the "Scene," check their web site, Seldomscene.com, or just google the name.

Bayview Daze, Revisited

Now that we have had a few days to recover from the big weekend, a number of thoughts occur. First and foremost, the retirement of Liz Justus and Lorraine Landwehr, parade directors for the last 26 years. This was their last dance. In the future, they will help only in an advisory role. The passing of the torch will find younger folks to carry on.

Fireworks fund raising was a success and met all goals. Both participating commercial and individual efforts were superb.

The picture above, is interesting, with myself as Master of Ceremonies, Suzy Orth to sing the National Anthem, Parade Judges; Sheryl Puckett, Margaret Nelson and Paul Ziegler. But wait! There is one more person on the reviewing stand. Drummer, Steve Cripe, wanting a good seat, grabbed two milk cases from the Mercantile, hoisted himself up to the rear of the truck and hid in plain sight, the rest of us none the wiser. I guess he figured that drummers normally sit at the back of the band, so he felt comfy there. With the exception that we don't know any normal drummers, of course.

Speaking of the reviewing stand, it is a must that we recognize the great contribution that the U.S. Navy makes, year after year. The truck and sound system for the parade. Parking for the booking bus for the Sheriff Department and the loan of a barge for the fireworks display. If we had asked for more, I'm reasonably sure that the Navy would have stepped up. Onward and upward. It's time to plan for next year.

The Best Intentions

I have had great highs this week, and today, a great low. In an attempt to acknowledge the generous contribution of Chan on behalf of Scenic Bay Marina, I felt it necessary to acknowledge the even greater contribution from Jim and Gary MacDonald. I will print an excerpt from the e-mail I received, then try to explain what my motives were. I am, regardless of my blog and/or my print column, an amateur writer. As such, sometimes, nuances get away from me. I received the following from a well meaning person, and friend of Jim and Gary MacDonald.

"What I don't understand is why you also take the opportunity to take cheep shot at MacDonalds.
Do you have any idea just how many years MacDonalds have put into the fireworks and how much time, money and effort that takes. They just don't take the time to brag about it, they just do it.
Obviously, you don't have a clue of what it takes to put on the fireworks.
Wouldn't it be great if all you had to do was through some money at it and, bamo, you have a fireworks show.
Gary and Jim have seen your blog, guess how happy they are with you right now.
You just through the baby out with the bath water.
In my opinion Herb, you are way out of line."

I'm not printing the name of the author, just because he interpreted my words differently than I intended.

When I received the donation from Chan Karupiah, I felt I couldn't praise him without acknowledging the great contributions of the MacDonald family. I wrote that Gary MacDonald raised over $5000.00 from their customers. Apparently, I was misinterpreted to the point where someone thought that I was comparing the out-of-pocket expenditure of Scenic Bay Marina, to MacDonald's only collecting from customers, not withstanding the fact that the Macdonald contribution more than doubled that of The former.

No slight was intended. I just felt that I couldn't name one large contributor and not another.

Small nuances, apparently, taken in a negative way, can be misinterpreted. I have, in the past week, tried to give more of myself to community activities than in the past. It turns out that getting active can be a mine field of conflicting ideas, motives and good/bad will.

I can only say that given more time and space, I would have pointed out that for many years, Jim MacDonald and his son, Gary have given over that period, more to this community than anyone I know. They started the fireworks, and for many years paid for them out of pocket. Gary and later, Kevin Elmore, had to attend pyrotechnics school to become licensed to buy and use sophisticated fireworks.

No one or even five families have given more to this community. I don't know how many others misinterpreted my limited remarks as being cheap shots, but if you did, you are so wrong. I have the highest regard for Jim and Gary MacDonald. I was going to cover this in depth later in my print column. It may not be necessary because I have apparently done so, here.

Festivities, Bayview Style

Bayview Daze is over. The crowds are gone. It is so quiet all across the bay, you could hear a pin drop. Monday. The fireworks were spectacular, as usual. Parade and street fair went off well with no difficulties, although with Liz and Lorraine running the show, it usually is smooth. This is their last year at the helm. Ralph Jones did a great job supervisng over all.

Chan Karupiah, of JD's and Scenic Bay Marinas stepped up with a $2000 donation out of his pocket, while others, like MacDonald's, raised over $5000 from their customers. Two young ladies stole the fund raising show, however, buttonholing everyone in sight for donations. We don't have the exact amount yet, but we believe that they are the individual champs.

An unverified account, revealed several arrests for unruly behavior late Saturday Night. Apparently, the "visiting Fireman" condition still applies. Yours truly had a great time acting as Master of Ceremonies for the parade, Saturday Morning. I am entertaining my brother, Stan Huseland, and his wife, Marilyn this week, so I had a chance to show off for my older brother.

Words of Wisdom

I received these quotes as an E-Mail this Morning. Since they weren't sent as a comment on the blog, I won't reveal the sender's names. I'm not sure whether they were a criticism of me or just words to guide by. In any event, here are the quotes:


"It doesn't matter whether inaccurate information is intentionally or accidentally put in our paths, we have the obligation to know that something is accurate before we repeat it. And it doesn't matter whether the slander is directed at friends or enemies. " John Tartaro
Otherwise we are merely proving the accuracy of another quotation, this one from Mark Twain:
"It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you to the heart; the one to slander you and the other to get the news to you."

In other good news, Chan, owner of JD's Resort and Scenic Bay Resort, dropped by to offer a substantial donation to the Chamber Fireworks Fund. I accepted, on behalf of an appreciative community.

Bayview Boat Parade

A last minute decision to go ahead with the boat parade this year was approved. Unfortunately, not many know about it. If you have a boat in the water in Bayview, and especially if it is decorated, join the others at the Bitter End Marina at or before 9:00 pm Saturday nite for the fun, then sit out to watch the fine fireworks display that will occur about 10:00 pm ...

We have been informed by Charlene, proprietor of the Bayview Liquor Store, that the issue that popped up a few days ago regarding a breach between her business and Waterford Park Marinas was a misunderstanding and doesn't want the impression that she is froze out to continue. We are happy that everything is alright, and back to what we in Bayview call normal.
