71 Law Enforcement Officers Report No Progress Toward Solution In Prineville Slaying PRINEVtLLE (UPD - Two boys playing along an irrigation ditch north of picturesque Smith Rocks Aug. 11 made a discovery that has touched off one of Cen tral Oregon's most bewildering murder cases. The boys came across a man's body, caught on a wire fence that dipped into the canal. Identification came ' rapidly: Phillip Reinhardt, aged 72, wealthy Powell Butte rancher, missing from his home since the night of Aug. 5. But 10 weeks later, county and state law enforcement offi cers say they are no closer to finding out who killed him than they were that day. "We just hit a dead end," says Crook County sheriff J. T. King. "We don't know where to S-" Sgt. Lowell Hertzel, who com mands the State Police office at Bend, is a little more hopeful. "We've been slowed up a lot in our investigation," he admits, "but we're still working on our own ideas, you might say." Police in three counties were looking for Reinhardt before the body was found. He disappeared on a Monday night, and on Wednesday his wife of three years, Hilda, 62, went to the police. Her story was simple. She and her husband had quarreled. Reinhardt, angry, prepared to drive away in one of the family's cars, she said. She blocked his exit with anoth er vehicle and Reinhardt van ished on foot across a field. That was the last time anyone admitted seeing him alive. Mrs. Reinhardt, in distress. called a neighbor and her min lster. Rev. D. L. Penhollow, a respected churchman and De schutes County judge. Rev. Pen hollow calmed the woman, say ing her husband undoubtedly would forget his anger and come home. He suggested Rein hardt probably would be even more unhappy if he returned to find police searching for him. But Reinhardt wasn't coming home. His skull had been fractured three times and his body had seven broken ribs. Dr. R. C. Henry, head pathologist at Ore gon's State Crime Laboratory, thought the death weapon might be a hand axe. Furthermore, Dr. Henry told Sheriff King, the body apparent ly had been out of the water some lime before it was thrown into the canal. Reinhardt was fully clothed except for his trousers and hat. Shoes Horn Through The toes of his shoes were completely worn through, ap parently from scuffing on rocks as he floated down the canal. The body was found 8'j miles from his 40-acre cattle ranch southwest of the Powell Butte Post Office and store. Investigators descended on the family ranch. "Everything has been search ed," says King. "We didn't find any weapon, no blood, nothing. There's nothing to indicate where he was killed." Lawmen turned their attention to anyone w ho might have want ed the rancher dead. "Not a soul," King says. "We can't find an enemy. He's loan ed money to quite a number of Lakeview High Schoo News Notes LAKEVIBW Twenty - five members of the Future Teach e r s Association of Lakeview High School visited the other schools in District No. 7 on Oct. 24 to share in the program arranged each year to give the students interested in teaching an opportunity to observe the methods and techniques of vari ous teachers and to determine the grade level in which their interest lies. Several students visited t w o schools and a few were at the kindergarten sessions while some students actually taught. Bob McGhehey, president of the FTA, taught social studies in the sixth grade: many helped supervise reading groups; oth ers assisted in Che supervision of physical education and play ground activities; and still oth ers passed out papers and books. Things of particular interest to individual students were the developmental reading instruc tion in grade six and methods of teaching handwriting, especi ally to left-handed children. An other visit is planned in the spring. Working with ceramics and oil paintings, the art classes are involved in many interest ing project"!. Those In cer amics have made a box, a free form dish, and will eventually make a sculptured piece. Some students are carving in the wet clay of She ceramic boxes. A de sign scratched in the paint is known as scroffito. Pieces not painted will he coated with a substance called engobe. The firing process is called bisque and this is foliowcd hy glazing, with the painted boxes clear glazed and those not painted, color glazed. A large Skutt kiln was installed in the art room about two weeks ago for firing purposes. However, the department has no wheel so , thrown pieces will not be pos- ' stble for the present. Installation of the electronic learning c e n t e t, or languaee lab, is of much interest at LHS now. This consists of paired in dividual bocrhs, each of which contains earphones and a mi crophone. H is to be used hy the Spanish classes, with students learning by listening to t a p e s and recording through the mie rophone. The tape decks are controlled by the instructor through a master console in the room. There are stations for 24 stu dents with 12 channels so that 12 different lessons may be go ing at once. The language de partment is in the process of copying tapes provided by the textbooks company, and other instructional tapes will he made by the instructor, students, and members of the Spanish Club. A series of commercial tapes is on order. The students can do three things, listen, respond and re cord. Intercommunication be tween students is also possible if the teacher wishes. This is also controlled at the master console. The 16-momber group of the Choralaires make up an activi ty choir, with four sopranos, four altos, four tenors and four basses. The choir sings for clubs, assemblies and other gatherings. Sopranos are Kath ryn North, Ara Lee Herbert, Di ana Mover and Marilyn Mc Neal; aitns, Kathy P(ato, Es ther Evans. Janet Taylor and Jean Baughman; tenors, Ernie Festch, Bob McGhehey, Ken Kudrna and Mike Wiggins; basses, K o n r a d Kratz, Aaron Osborne, Bruce MacKay and Bill Williams, The Lakeview High School Pep Club has begun the year by appointing two new committees, one for decorations and the oth er to act as squad leaders for the home games. The first deco rating group was made up of Slieryl Getty, Susan Hotchkiss and Jo Anne Ieahy. The girls decorate the halls and put up posters for the game. The duty of the squad leaders is to take roll M games and prac tices and those for the past week were Janet Taylor, Jean Baughman and Marcia Flynn. At the student council meet ing on Oct. 14, it was decided that two sets of parents will be asked to chaperone the dances. Report cards for the first nine weeks of school will be issued Wednesday, Nov. 6. HUNTING SEASON SPiCIAL CAR WASH 1.25 . Mondayt through Thurs day, and $1.50 an Fridays and Saturdays.
