Harstine'.
Bob finds another shore thing Pioneer Kiwanians
By JOHN COOPER happened to notice the article .... metrically and saturate the green bugs into California in the early
Life's little mysteries keep pop-
ping up, or in this case drifting
ashore, on Harstine Island.
Bob Briesemeister recently
spotted a nine-foot, greenish-blue,
fiberglass boat washing in off
Case Inlet. His grandson, Rubin,
who was visiting, helped to secure
the craft and tie it up to the fami-
ly bulkhead.
Ascertaining that the boat was
still seaworthy, Bob notified the
sheriffs office hoping to locate the
owner. He was informed that
someone in Lilliwaup had report-
ed a missing boat. That informa-
tion deepened the mystery. Bob
asked, "How in the world would a
boat lost in Lilliwaup make its
way down to Harstine Island?
That's a mystery to me."
WHILE REPORTING this in-
formation, Bob recalled an earlier
find he made, some years ago, on
the road near Ballow. On that oc-
casion his discovery was a chain-
saw. He reported this to Carmen
Yates, who at that time was writ-
ing the Harstine column. The cov-
erage she included in her column
led to the reuniting of chainsaw
and rightful owner.
Bob hopes that history will re-
peat itself and that the owner of
the boat will reclaim his errant
craft. If that happens it will be
another bit of serendipity. It
seems we get our fair share of
such occurrelces.
A case in point is highlighted
in an e-mail to islander Chuck
Luton from Winkle Llik, Asso-
ciate Director, Center for Interna-
tional Networking Initiatives at
the University of Tennessee. She
wrote that she got a call from Jill
Senff, a graduate of the Universi-
ty of Tennessee program in for-
eign language and world busi-
ness, after Senff's parents on
Harstine Island read this col-
umn's December article on Luton
and his visit to UT.
"The ironic thing," Llik wrote,
"is that Jill was at the reception,
heard your speech, had told her
parents about it; they happened
to be in town (Shelton) to pick up
a copy of the local paper which
they don't usually read, and they
This is serendipity at its bestf"
IF THERE IS a happy solu-
tion to the question, "Boat, boat,
who lost the boat?" you can be as-
sured you will be informed of it
via this column. It's filed under
unfinished business.
Which is a reminder of the un-
finished business regarding the
videotape of the watery wedding
adventure at Briesmeisters'.
The update is that it has been
submitted to the World's Funni-
est Videos TV program, all who
were pictured in it have signed
release forms, and everyone's pa-
tiently waiting to find out if and
when it will be televised.
It's creeping up on us, that spe-
cial day when loved ones express
tender thoughts to those they
love. Saint Valentine's Day hon-
ors two martyrs bearing the same
name who lost their lives because
of their faith back in the Fourth
Century A.D. Later, one became
the patron saint of lovers. Which
one? We don't know.
So what prompted these rumi-
nations about Valentine's Day?
Oddly enough it's the menu for
the next senior lunch. The meal
will consist of oven-baked chick-
en, cooked carrots and (here's the
connection) angel biscuits with
Valentine cupcakes for dessert.
The senior lunchers will be get-
ting a jump start on the holiday
because lunch is scheduled for
noon on February 10 at the com-
munity hall.
A reminder -- this being the
first lunch of the month, free
blood pressure readings will be
available beginning at 11:30.
SOMETIMES one can have
too much of a good thing. Bob
Ashbaugh might have thought
that when he opened the door of
his storage shed and found the
inner wall literally emblazoned in
living color. The surface was a
brilliant red with tiny black polka
dots. It was covered with count-
less ladybugs.
Ladybugs are good bugs but
how many does one need to police
a garden and dine on minute
pests on the plants?
The bugs discovered in the
shed are probably the progeny of
shipments of these beneficial
bugs which island gardeners have
imported to eliminate undesirable
aphids and other pests from their
flowers and vegetables.
A reliable source has informed
us that the population of these
tiny beetles will not increase gee-
of Harstine Island with copious
accents of red. However, the plen-
tiful supply of these graceful
creatures bodes well for the gar-
dens on the south portion of the
island at least, as soon as the
multitude of Epilachna borealis
starts to deposit its larvae on the
unfolding leaves of plants where
each larva will devour, voracious-
ly, the plant lice and scale insects
harmful to plants. Besides with a
name like borealis they're a natu-
ral for our Northwest.
THE GARDEN CLUB which
met a few days ago made plans
for a work day on February 6 at
the community hall. The land-
scaping around the structure is in
need of a horticultural manicure.
Members invite other residents to
volunteer to join them and arrive
early on that day with gardening
tools in hand and something to be
shared during the potluck lunch
break.
The organization is also ar-
ranging the details of its popular
annual pruning experience. This
is a hands-on learning experience
under the tutelage of a profes-
sional horticulturist. Date, details
and time will be announced as
plans are firmed up. Once again,
the garden club wants to empha-
size that any islander is welcome
to attend this information session
and learn to prune by pruning.
Harstine Grange played host
on Saturday, January 16, to the
Pomona Grange of Mason Coun-
ty. This group of officials repre-
sentative of all granges in the
county has no headquarters of its
own for meetings but rotates
among the granges. Once a year,
the privilege of hosting these offi-
cials comes to our island group.
Pomona is the name of the
Greek deity who was the protec-
tor of fruit. Since the Grange
movement began shortly after the
Civil War, it is quite conceivable
that Grange officials were instru-
mental in the importation of lady
1900s to save the fruit crops.
Grange Master A1 Bacon re-
ported a rewarding turn-out, in-
cluding several guests, for the
January potluck to hear John
Bolender speak on growth man-
agement proposals.
IF YOU'RE driving down to
the south end of the island, don't
miss taking a peek at Joe and
B.J. Beauchene's winter-flower-
ing cherry tree. It will be blos-
soming well for several weeks as
an early harbinger of spring.
Late news flash! On Friday,
January 22, 1,641 copies of the
annual newsletter of the commu-
nity club were put in the mail.
This publication recaps the activi-
ties of 1998, projects the pro-
grams for 1999 and provides ref-
erence information. Receipt of
this brochure is a gentle reminder
that dues are due and payable.
A copy has been sent to every
island residence, but if yours does
not arrive there are extras at the

ket when it opens for the sum-
mer.

Doctor's
discovery, may
end obesity
HILTON HEAD, S.C. -- A doctor
believes that anatural formula contain-
ing the extract of a small Asian fruit can
help cause significant weight loss.
Anthony A. Conte, M.D. reported in
an American Medical Journal that the
formula, now called Bio-Rcx 3000,
caused patients to lose more than twice
as much weight as those in a control
group on the same fat reduced diet.
Neither group was instructed to de-
crease the amount of food they ate or to
increase their exercise levels. An article
published in the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition says that you don't
have to reduce the amount of food you
;eat to lose weight, provided that you
limit the fat.
Dr. Conte says that animal studies
suggest the mechanism behind the
weight reduction is due to interruption
of the "Krebs Cycle", an important step
in the body's fat storage process. He
says it may work the same way in hu-
mans. According to Dr. Conte, "The
best part of this unique discovery is that
it is not a drug, but a dietary food
supplement. The Asian fruit, called
arcinia, is similar to citrus fruit found
m the United States with one big excep-
tion-- it may help some people fight
obesity! While Dr. Contds study may be
preliminary, the exclusive North Ameri-
can distributor, Phillips Gulf Corp., is
calling the Bio-Rex 3000 supplement
"Nature's Ideal Diet Aid." -
According to a spokeslrson for the
company, Bio-Rex 3000 is now avail-
able through pharmacies and nutrition
stores or call 1-800-729-8446 or visit

The Bridge Builder
By Will Allen Dromgoole
An old man, going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening, cold and gay,
To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned, when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near,
"You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way;
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide-
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head;
"Good friend, in the path I have come;' he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm, that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be,
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."

ashore, on Harstine Island.
Bob Briesemeister recently
spotted a nine-foot, greenish-blue,

the craft and tie it up to the fami-
ly bulkhead.
