Advocate, Newark, June 6, 1980 Even with the devastation of Mount St. Helens still fresh in the news, plans are being formulated to turn the vol. cano into a tourist attraction. AP Despite de devastation, Washington State officials foresee bright future OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) Washington state its forests toppled, its streams turned to hissing pools of hot mud, its streets and fields gray and gritty with ash from Mount St.

Helens thinks the future looks bright. State officials foresee new forests, rivers teeming with fish and tourists flocking to the shattered mountain. It is, of course, a long-range view: it could take a decade or more to achieve. The eruptions of May 18 and 25 killed at least 24 people and will cost taxpayers and consumers at least $2.7 billion. Preliminary loss estimates just for farmers are over $190 million.

But those charged with picking up the pieces now are looking beyond the immediate emergency and ahead to a return to normality. In a round of interviews with The Associated Press, government officials and businesses in the area were upbeat about the future, despite the staggering impacts they still must absorb. "People are resilient. 'There is no defeatist attitude," said Ray Walters, press secretary to Gov. Dixy Lee Ray and a member of her committee charged with long-range follow-up.

"I guess it's the pioneer stock. There's nothing wrong with Washington that a lot of money and a little time can't cure." Said budget director Lyle Jacobsen, "With the ash zone involving 25 percent of our people and 50 percent of the land area, we may notice a decline in our Deaths Funerals Maxine G.

The eight ordinance also bans parking or driving through parade routes and gives the chief of police the power to grant permits for all such demonstrations and parades. Tomato yield up in '79 WASHINGTON (AP) If anyone has noticed more ketchup in bistros here and overseas, it may be because the world produced more tomatoes for processing in 1979. World tomato output for ketchup and other products climbed 12 percent to nearly 13.9 million metric tons, the Agriculture Department said Thursday.

"Primarily responsible for the gain was expanded output in Italy and the United States' where higher grower or finished product prices stimulated larger planted area," the department's Foreign Agricultural Service said.

"But overall, after we recover from this initial impact, it should be back to what we would call normal in three to five years." Sen. Warren Magnuson, D- announced this week that President Carter will ask Congress for $860 million in aid to last through Sept. 30, the end of the current fiscal year. Magnuson said he would support additional appropriation requests "as far into the future as One big question is how much the state's farmers will be hurt by ashfall. State agriculture official Marvin Carlson created a stir last week by saying if the ashfall were to continue, eastern Washington could become "uninhabitable" and that "we may not have a Yakima." He later backed off, saying his statement had been in answer to "what if" questions from a reporter and did not reflect probabilities.

"There's no damn way farms are going to die," said Agriculture Director Robert Mickelson. 'Farms do not die because farmers won't let them. The agriculture community may be hurt, but we're a long way from Initial testings of the ashshows it to be inert and nontoxic. It destroyed or damaged hay, wheat, barley and fruit and vegetable crops. Testing continues on whether future crops will be affected by the tons of extra ash in the soil.

"We won't know what the bottom line on agriculture will be until it's time to harvest the crops," said Walters. "Just how devastating the damage will be, we just don't know. Our cherry crop, for instance, will be great." Land Commissioner Bert Cole said reforestation will begin as quickly as downed timber can be salvaged and roads rebuilt. The planting could begin next year. "Foresters don't have the doom and gloom attitude that so many people have," said Cole.

"They take a long-term view." Because so much timber is salvageable this year, the outlook for sawmills in short haul, at least is bright, Cole said. "They'll have more timber than they can handle," he added. Weyerhaeuser forest products giant and largest private landowner in the area, says it can retrieve most of the trees on its 57,000 acres of affected timberland. "The weren't atomized they were knocked over, and that's what loggers do," said spokesman, Tom should Ambrose. return to ashcovered area within a decade, said Ed Ives of the Game Department: "The size of task is staggering, but if the mountain lets us, we can bring the wildlife back.

The Toutle River, once one of the state's prime fishing spots, may take a lifetime to restore and may never come back, he said. The eruption destroyed nesting and breeding areas and covered stream beds with tons of mud. Fisheries Director Gordon Sandison estimated restoration of the fish runs and hatchery programs on the Toutle and Cowlitz rivers will take at least one decade probably two and cost $22.4 million for the first 10 years. Other effects and predictions from state officials: -Tourism could be a boon, said Don Richardson of the Department of Commerce and Economic Development. President Carter visited Mount St.

Helens last month and predicted, "People will come from all over the world. It will be a tourist attraction to equal the Grand Canyon. According to a state report, the volcano will draw about 2 million visitors a year, bringing up to $750 million into the region. -Clean-up operations and construction of new bridges and highways could create up to 35,000 jobs -The ash, while irritating, poses no long-term health hazard to healthy people casually exposed to it, said the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

Sadly missed by the family. MEMORIAM In loving memory of Francis "Chip" Reinbeau, who passed away three years ago, June 6, 1977. Often our hearts wander, to a grave not far away, Where the one we loved so dearly, Has forever passed away. When the evening shades are falling, And we are sitting all alone, In our hearts there comes a longing, If only he could come home. Sadly missed by Mom, Dad, sister, brothers, family and friends.

MEMORIAM In loving memory of our Dad, Donald R. Dysart, on his 50th birthday, June 6, 1980. Dad, you were a man of few words spoken. At. family gatherings though you were always jokin', So you passed away in a manner so very much the same, Not even realizing yourself that it was the end of life's game.

We talk to you even though there is no reply, Hoping you will help us to understand the reasons why God must so suddenly take the life of the father we love And house him in that great and beautiful heaven above. We want to wish you a happy birthday on this day. It has not yet been two months since you passed away. Mom, Donna, Dean, and I are missing you sadly, But all of the fun times we've had we are remembering gladly. With love and happy and respectful memories, your daughter.

Dawn. MEMORIAM In loving memory of our son and brother, Miles McKitrick, who met his Master June 6, 1968. The years have come The years precious have gone memories Linger on. Sadly missed by Dad, Mom, Larry, Darrell, Vicky, Julie. and Macky.

MEMORIAM Twenty years have passed, but this is the memory our father left with his children. A PRICELESS PORTRAIT Hung up on mem'ry's wall, It is a portrait of my Dad, When I was very small. I can't forget when Dad hitched up, The wagon to the team, And let me go to town with him, Which made come true my dream. He bought the things a farmer needs. To till the fertile ground, And when the wagon bed was full, We soon were far from town.

He added up his coins and made, The team halt in its tracks, man shortchanged he cried, I'll have to take it back. I thought he mean't he'd take it back, Next time he drove to town, But soon he left his wagon seat, And stood upon the ground. He said, "Son, drive the wagon home, And help them milk and feed, I've got to take a dime to him, Who sold me garden "But we're four miles from town," I said, As I begged Dad to wait, "In just a half a mile or so. We'll pass our barnyard gate," He cried, "My boy, I'm tired, But must trudge back into town, And get this matter straightened out, Before the sun goes down." But "It is just a dime," I said. He sighed, "My son, it's more than that, For it involves my name.

What if the Lord should call me hover, night in fact? I don't presume my friends would know, To take the ten cents back. I live each day a way, that Will stand before God's throne, And that I'll give account for dimes. I've spent which weren't my own. I saw him bravely turn toward town, As I toward home did start. "Twas then a priceless masterpiece, Was etched upon my heart, 1 gazed through tears until saw.

Him fade behind a curve. I vowed right then if I grew up. My daddy's God I'd serve. The years have flown since that resolve. When I was merely eight.

And Dad, all tired, walked back to town, To set the record straight. I wonder if all daddys know, That one such deed alone, Can do more good to make boys straight, Than all the money known.
