July 21 was such an exciting day at the Woman’s CouncilBuilding!

With the glorious weather warming and giving tremen-dous cheer to everyone, the 2009 Grand Bazaar was a hugesuccess.

Ginny Smith, chairperson, and Rose Cooper, co-chair-person, along with all the bazaar committee chairs, wish toconvey their heartfelt appreciation for all the many hours ofpreparation and the many wonderful donations that were sogenerously given in making this a successful fundraiser.

Plans are already being made for the 2010 Grand Bazaar.

We’re at the halfway point in thisyear’s Recreation Season and you maybe noticing that there have been somechanges to the Tot Lot traffic pattern.

In response to a safety study con-ducted last year, some adjustmentshave been made to Moss Avenue tomake it a safer place for both childrenand adult Bay View residents.

The most significant change will bemaking Moss one-way (west to eastonly) between 9:15 a.m. and noon forvehicular traffic. You will also see a“drop-off” lane in front of the Tot Lotbuilding for cars.

For parents who might be familiarwith rolling drop-offs from your child’sdaycare or school at home, the Tot LotDrop Off procedure will be similar.

There will be cones marking thelane to assist you. Please pull into thedrop-off lane, help your child out ofthe car and pass them off to one of theTot Lot staff. Once your child is safelyin their hands, please move your carout of the drop-off zone for the nextparent to do the same.

The drop-off area is NOT for park-ing cars. Signs have been installed justpast the drop-off area designatingapproved parking.

Due to the narrow width of Moss,there is no curbside parking allowedon the north side of the street. If youare on foot, or using a bicycle, pleasedo not stand/park in the drop-off lane.This is only for cars, and they will bein motion.

Rainy and cold days are the mostcongested around the Boys’ and Girls’Club, due to increased vehicular traf-fic. Please take this into account whenyou approach the Tot Lot.

We do not want to inhibit conver-

sation among the parents. We encour-age you to hang around and chat, butplease move your vehicle first.

On Mondays, new registrations andnew families increase the congestion atTot Lot. If you are registering, pleaseplan ahead for about 10 minutes ofpaperwork.

Park your vehicle in the designatedparking area. Do not use the drop-offlane when registering.

We hope that these changes willprovide a safer environment for parentand child alike. We adore our childrenhere in Bay View, and we want to maketheir experiences create memories tolast a lifetime.

By Carrie LyonsHeart of Bay View Campaign Mgr.

With the participation of Bay Viewmembers through workshops, opin-ion groups and questionnaires, theAuditorium Review Committee com-pleted its work in 2005. Basic guide-lines were developed – and theseguidelines have been the basis fordecisions regarding the work pro-posed for Hall Auditorium:

1. John M. Hall Auditorium is, andshould always be maintained as, ourprimary assembly space.

2. Acoustical revisions, sound sys-tems, lighting upgrades, and audi-ence/lecturer/performer comfort fea-tures will bring John M. HallAuditorium to the standards andneeds of this generation of Bay Viewmembers and their guests.

3. Safety improvements are of highimportance and will be implementedas recommended by our consultants.

A team composed of Liz Murphy,Dick Mitchell, Rod Slocum, ChrisLudwa and Ned DeWire worked withour architects, Kingscott Associates,to craft the design phase of the proj-ect. They detailed the project scopeand budget. Questions arose about theloading capability of the Hall struc-ture, the electrical capacity and theavailability of water and sewer lines.

Northwest Design Group, a localcivil engineering and design firm, per-formed a study of these questions andsubmitted a report which caused achange in project scope. No addition-al load can be added to John M. HallAuditorium’s structure as it exists.

This means we cannot add sound,acoustical systems or new catwalks ifthey attach to the existing structure.

Kingscott Architects were chal-lenged to revise our plan and developa recommendation which would meetour design objectives and fundinglimitations. A new proposal wasdeveloped that incorporates our proj-ect scope, falls within the fundingguidelines, meets new building codeguidelines and ADA requirements,and – importantly – does not add loadto the existing building structure.

Kingscott has proposed adding twosets of structural frames, the first fromthe proscenium to the first bay wouldsupport acoustical clouds, and thenew left-right-center speaker system.The second frame would support thenew catwalks which would extendacross the width of the auditorium.

The most obvious visual change isthe addition of two under balconycheek walls and two ramps flankingthe stage. Cheek walls are part of theacoustical improvements and act like amegaphone in forcing sound outwardtoward the audience. The ramps weredeveloped in response to a require-ment to have barrier free access.

The Heart of Bay View CampaignCabinet hopes you look forward toseeing, hearing and feeling the resultsin John M. Hall Auditorium, when thecampaign is successfully completedon behalf of you, your guests, andfuture generations.

Your understanding of this projectis extremely important. If you have aquestion, please contact Liz Murphyat 348-3162, or [email protected].

Time for Three offersconcert, master class

The groundbreaking, category-shattering trio Time forThree will present a master class and concert Monday, July27, as part of the Crouse Visiting Artists Series.

Tickets for the concert are available online atbayviewfestival.tix.com or at the Bay View Box Office.

The trio transcends traditional classification, with ele-ments of classical, country western, gypsy and jazz idiomsforming a blend all its own. The members – Zachary (Zach)De Pue, violin; Nicolas (Nick) Kendall, violin; and RanaanMeyer, double bass – carry a passion for improvisation,composing and arranging, all prime elements of the ensem-ble’s playing.

What started as a trio of musicians who played togetherfor fun while students at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute forMusic evolved into Time for Three, or Tf3 for short – acharismatic ensemble with a reputation for limitless enthu-siasm and no musical boundaries.

Violinists Zachary De Pue and Nicolas Kendall first dis-covered their mutual love of fiddling in the country west-ern and bluegrass styles. Then bassist Ranaan Meyer intro-duced them to his deep roots in jazz and improvisation.After considerable experimentation, the three officiallyformed Tf3.

To date, the group has performed hundreds of engage-ments as diverse as its music: from featured guest soloistswith The Philadelphia Orchestra to opening for kd lang.

In a group as diverse as a family it isextremely hard to find anything thateveryone agrees on.

Different ages, interests, and talentsfind families constant-ly running in differentdirections, makingquality time rare. BayView recreation pro-grams try to counter-act this, by providing activities thatappeal to all, making family time effort-less and enjoyable.

Families gather for hot dog roasts,tennis matches, beach days, as well aslarge club events such as the Olympics.Elizabeth Sachse, an 86-year-old formerTot Lot leader has had many years of BVfamily time.

“The Boys’ and Girls’ Club is whatmade Bay View truly a family place,”said Sachse. “ There is something herefor every age as both adults and littlekids have outlets to make friends. ”

Sachse began her Bay View experi-ence when she first came to the area in

1929. She then became the leader ofwhat is now Tot Lot, which she ran forseven years.

“I actually suggested the name TotLot,” said Sachse. “I would always callthe children ‘lil’ tots’ and the name hascarried through the years.”

More than thename remainsconstant at TotLot as Sachserecalls the funny

times of working with the ever-dynam-ic children of Bay View.

“There was one morning where Iwalked outside to see a little boy peeingin the sandbox,” said Sachse. “I askedhim why and he responded very confi-dently ‘I wanted to make a mud pie.’”

With her years dedicated to servingBay View recreation, Sachse believesthat its programs continue to form theheart, as well as create the mass appeal,of Bay View itself.

“The Rec is the most importantaspect of Bay View simply because of itsability to bring together families,” saidSachse.
