Bayview news Trailer park eviction coming up

Herb Huseland Correspondent

Bayview has been all a’twitter this week with the long-expected eviction of the Bayview Trailer Park, renamed “View of the Bay” by Waterford Park Homes, LLC. The new owners, have taken possession and are shutting down the park for development purposes. The principles behind the corporation, KDB Investments, are Brian and Alisha Main and James Darling.

Efforts are being made to assist the five elderly and disabled tenants.

In a recent conversation with repre- sentatives of the corporation, they indicated a desire to work with the hardship cases that currently exist.

The Chamber of Commerce is also looking at ways to help.

Thank you from the Captain’s Wheel

Pigging out is on the agenda at the Captain’s Wheel on Saturday. Starting at 3 p.m. a whole roast pig will be served in the area outside the restaurant.

It’s the Captain’s Wheel way of saying thank you for the summer they have had. Music by Fly by Night audio system, Chris Grandchamp presiding. Also a flea market will be set up in the same area from 10 a.m. Later, inside starting at 8 p.m., you can rock out with The Keep which will be playing both Friday and Saturday nights.

BABS have quilt raffle

BABS, a ladies group formed many years ago, stands for Bayview, Athol, Belmont. The group is raffling off an amazing handmade quilt which is on display at Road Taylor Farmers Insurance on Hayden Avenue across from Super One. Tickets are available there, too.

The drawing will take place Dec. 11.

Navy reunion at Farragut

Labor Day weekend signals the traditional end of summer here in Bayview. Long lines at the boat launch usually occur on this weekend, as seasonal visitors pack up and move out, leaving in their wake many memories of the summer. Quiet descends upon this village so quickly, it almost always is startling.

Events that will be taking place soon, however, include a Navy reunion of people that served at Farragut when it was a World War II training base between 1942 and 1945. Many of the veterans that served here settled in and around the area after the war. It is always a fun time when these members of the “Greatest Generation” gather to tell there stories, many of which, we understand, are actually true. The reunion this year will be a one-day event, Sept. 9, with a flag-raising at 9 a.m. at the Brig.
