This Friday evening Grange
meeting will be preceded by a
potluck supper. Don't forget to
bring your table service and some
goodies and be at the hall by 6:30
p.m.
Following the opening of the
Grange will be the lecturer's hour
prior to regular business. The
lecturer's hour will feature Paul
Everett as guest speaker. Please
note: this portion of the Grange is
open to non.members as well as
regular members. So if there are
any questions that are bothering
any of you readers concerning the
upcoming Pioneer levy, please feel
welcome to attend this talk. It
should begin about 8 p.m.
Paul Everett also spoke at last
Friday evening's Community Club
meeting. He presented the Pioneer
facts in a very concise,
easy-to-understand talk that
showed that next year's
(1975-1976) budget to operate
Pioneer School is one percent less
than this year's budget, although
there has been inflation at the
rate of 12 percent and also a 14
percent raise in the number of
students since 1973. He further
showed that a defeat of the levy
would, and will in all probability,
result in consolidation which will
no matter which way one slices it
mean more, much more taxes.
For the past several weeks
Bob and Ethel Phillips of
Hartstene Pointe had included in
their plans a trip to Boise, Idaho
to attend a three-day convention
of the Northwest Association of
Forensic Scientists. A day or so
before they were scheduled to
leave, Bob received a summons to
appear to testify at a trial in
Eugene, Oregon. This unexpected
side trip delayed them by one
day. The three-day session began
Wednesday morning and they
arrived Wednesday evening.
The convention takes in
professional people from Alaska,
Washington, Oregon, California,
Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
Those attending include doctors,
pathologists, document examiners
or anyone who investigates
criminal matter with a scientific
approach. These gatherings are
held twice a year. The next
meeting is set for this fall in
Eugene, Oregon.
Bob and Ethel took with
them a real taste treat for the
other guests ... a batch of
freshly-caught and home-smoked
Puget Sound salmon; the only
problem being, everyone is going
to expect more of same.
Enroute home from the
convention they stopped in
Pendleton and learned that a
long-time business associate and
close friend had drowned just the
day before (Saturday).

Harold Berg, 38-year-old state
patrolman of Salem, Oregon, had
accompanied Bob when he went
to Renton to pick up the fire
truck for Hartstene Pointe. The
two men drove the open-air fire
truck down to the island from
Renton in a cold, blinding
snowstorm.
Saturday Bob and his family
were enjoying a weekend at the
beach near Tillamook when a Boy
Scoutmaster approached Harold
and expressed concern that two
of the Explorer Scouts in his
group were missing. So Harold
and his son volunteered to help
look for the two missing boys.
The area where the boys were
missing was a rugged beach with
numerous shallow caves at the
foot of high banks. Harold and his
son were in the process of looking
;ook studies facts about
Devil's Triangle stories
In the current vogue for the
irrational, searchers for Atlantis,
surveyors of the Great Pyramid,
and Daniken and his
interplanetary construction crew
have momentarily yielded pride
of place to true believers in the
Bermuda Triangle, an area in the
Atlantic formed by lines drawn
from Bermuda to Florida to
Puerto Rico and back to
Bermuda, in which, according to
legend, an inordinate number of
ships and planes have, over the
years, vanished completely in the
creepiest circumstances
imaginable. Explanations offered
by devotees of the legend include
strange magnetic forces, time
warps, and visitors from other
planets picking up human samples
for closer study on home turf.
Triangle tales have served as the
subject of numerous books, TV
programs, and articles in such
journals as Argosy, Male, Saga and
Cosmopolitan.
In 1972, Lawrence David
Kusche, a reference librarian at
Arizona State University and pilot
by avocation, faced with an
increasing number of questions
about the Triangle and a dearth of
information thereon, began the
research that resulted in "The
Bermuda Triangle Mystery -
Solved." Kusche found that most
of the disappearances, under
scrutiny, proved to be the
apparent result of extremely bad
weather, a fact omitted in the
legend; other cases were traceable
to known structural defects in the
vessels in question or to the
volatile nature of their cargoes
(one ship, which had carried
benzene, simply blew up). The
disappearance of a 63-foot charter
fishing boat lost most of its
mystery when it was revealed that
it had sailed with 55 passengers
and 19 tons of ice. Several of the
incidents, he found, did not occur
in the Triangle at all; the crash of
a Globemaster in 1951 occurred
off the coast of Ireland. In the
celebrated case of the five
Avenger bombers that vanished in
1945, Kusche presents official
records that yield a more
convincing, if mundane,
explanation than the presence of
a "black hole in space" that
swallowed them up.
Kusche concludes that "The
Legend of the Bermuda Triangle
is a manufactured mystery. It
began because of careless research
and was elaborated upon and
perpetuated by writers who either
purposely or unknowingly made
use of misconceptions, faulty
reasoning, and sensationalism."
And he adds, with the incurable
optimism of the born rationalist:
"Perhaps we are beginning to
grow a bit weary of being
constantly bombarded by
spectacular unsolved mysteries."

in one of these caves when the
tragedy occurred. Harold was
looking in one of these caves
when a large wave caught him
unawares and swept him from
sight right before the eyes of his
son. Some time later the two
"missing" boys returned.
While Bob and Ethel were
gone for six days on a trip which
covered 1,500 miles and brought
both good and bad, they had
Hilda Williams acting as
housesitter for them.
Last Saturday about 12
islanders showed up for the
scheduled cemetery clean-up. The
group did an overall clean-up and
a bit of burning.
This past Saturday was
birthday-day here at Spencer
Cove. Early Saturday morning
this reporter accompanied by
daughter Lisa and her friend, Lisa
Cook, headed the family flivver
north with a destination of Port
Townsend to pick up a close
friend of the two gale, Sandra
Williamson.
Sandra and her family
formerly lived at Timberlakes and
more than a year ago moved to
Whidbey Island. Bonnie
Williamson accompanied her
daughter Sandra across the ferry
where the two girls and I met her
in Port Townsend. Sandra stayed
here on the island with Lisa over
the weekend. Then on Tuesday
she accompanied Lisa to school at
Pioneer to visit her other old
friends and former classmates.
Her father picked her up after
attending a business meeting in
Puyallup.
Saturday was also Annie
Yates' birthday. A group of gale,
including Dorothy EnD, Hilda
Williams, Thora Seward and Helen
Lammers, got together and took
Annie out to lunch to celebrate
her day.
