A resident of Cleveland, OH and a member of the Bay View Community, the Reverend George Dauler and his wife, Susanne, first came to Bay View Windows on the Biblical World Sunday School Class 50 years ago to honeymoon in the cottage which had just been pur-chased by his parents, Carl and Janet Dauler.

Final Guest Speaker of the Season By Jim Irwin
This Barred Owl was spotted recently about 8:30 in the evening perched in a birch tree just inside the entrance to the Indian Trail (at the east end of Knapp Avenue). Clearly visible from my back deck, he or she kindly waited while I stepped inside and returned with a camera. Barred Owls are frequent residents of the Bay View Woods. Although primarily noc-turnal, they can often be heard or seen as early as late afternoon. Their call is a series of hoots that follows a char-acteristic cadence which sounds like "Who cooks for you?" In the distance it can sound like the barking of a dog.
The Barred Owl gets its name from the bars and streaks on its neck and chest, markings that distinguish it from its Western cousin, the Spotted Owl. Barred Owl eyes are characteris-tically dark, lacking the yellow seen in the eyes of most owls. They are up to 24" in length, and their flight is grace-ful and absolutely soundless.
Scan this QR code with your tab-let or smart phone to watch and listen to the call of the Barred Owl.
HOOO Are You Looking At?
A rare moment is captured as this magnificent bird pauses to look at Bay View Member, Jim Irwin.
Your Operations Committee works toward better safety for all and fewer problems with the functions of Bay view’s living necessities. Dave Ellis and his crew are the best, and we thank them for all they do.
Some reminders for 2013:
Sidewalks are the responsibility of the leaseholder and should be kept clear of overgrowth from grass, plants, bushes and trees.
The area from the sidewalk to the street belongs to Bay View, so any-thing you want to do to it needs to be approved first, including fake curbs, flowers, stones, etc.
Bicyclists need to know the rules and abide by them: ride on the right side of the street and use arm signals for turning.
Stop signs are not just for cars, bicyclists also need to stop at them. This is true for moms and dads as well as kids - thank you!
The rain gardens should help with some of the storm water drain-age problems in Bay View. If you have drainage problems please let the grounds crew know.
There may be some traffic changes next year but nothing permanent until see if it will help. July and August are very busy months in Bay View, and the traffic increases substantially as family, guests and visitors join us for a while, and attend events. Our streets are not engineered for heavy traf-fic, and we are trying to regulate the amount of local commuter traffic. We must expect it to be crowded at times, however we all must do our best to remain patient and enjoy the great place we are privileged to be a part of!

The Town Crier
By The Rev. Daniel Moser, Director of Worship and Religious Activities
I have had many opportunities to speak with several people who were visiting Bay View for the first time, having stumbled upon it in their travels in northern Michigan. After answering their first question, which is usually along the lines of "What is this place?” The conversa-tion then turns to Crouse Memorial Chapel. The chapel has been open to the public this summer for people to spend time in and visitors are natu-rally drawn to this beautiful structure. I believe visitors are drawn to the cha-pel because they can clearly tell what it is. I have heard people say about Hall Auditorium, “Oh, this must be the library.” There is no mistaking however, that this is a chapel.
Every visitor I talked with is touched by its beauty, by the new windows and by the sense of peace about the place. As a pastor I got to dedicate the new windows and have delighted in celebrating a wedding and a memorial service in the chapel. It is a wonderful place for both kinds of services. I now also have a favorite spot to sit in for communion services when I can get there, and a place to sit in quiet when I need a respite from the business.
Crouse Memorial Chapel is one of the jewels on the Bay View campus. We are blessed with a wonderful, dedicated Altar Guild that loves and cares for it and assists in all the ser-vices. Crouse Memorial Chapel was one of the delightful surprises for me my first year at Bay View.

Photo: “Going Home" by Paul Godwin
Sitting on my porch of summer,I see the sun begin to sink amongChanging colors from dark to lightWith shifting images amid their flightI watch all that glorious majesty there before me,
Wondering how long it will last, When suddenly without warningA bright blinding orange ball eases itselfLike a whisper into the cool, gentle water.
