CREATIVE
SWEATERING
The one fall '80 indispens
able: the super sweater. Or,
belter yet, a super sweater set.
The best bets have the feminine
details of a blouse: puffed
sleeves, Pierrot collars or wide
cape collars.
In mohair, fur blends, dashed
with glitter, embroidered,
cabled or splashed with space
age graphics... sweaters are
the easiest way to update a
wardrobe.
Around About
Last week those who live or were visiting In the Seattle
area got an especially heavy dose of campaign advertising.
Washington residents had many serious choices on
Tuesday-Governor Dixie Lee Ray and Senator Warren
Magnusson faced many challengers and the advertising for
candidates at every level was tremendous. Almost every
home in the Bremerton-Port Orchard area had a lawn sign or
two staked out.
I was able to take my mind away from the constant
campaigning by enjoying thinking over what a great nine
months I've experienced in having three super grandaught
ers arrive between Dec. 13 at Cheney and Sept. 8 at Port
Orchard. It was such fun getting to help with the Dec. and
Sept. tiny lassies during each of their first weeks. Now this
coming weekend when Bill and Teresa Weatherford will
come home from Imperial Beach, Calif., with their
four-year-old. Billy, and two-month-old Bonnie Anne, I will
get some more grandmothering practice.
Last Thursday my older son, Ross Haberlach, took me to a
meeting of the South Kitsap Chamber of Commerce where he
Introduced me as a visiting member from the Heppner-Mor-row
County C. of C. I felt very much at home with the group
which included about 40 south county business men and
women. There were more women members there than attend
in Heppner-at least ten come regularly, including several
shop owners, a reporter and insurance women. I happened to
be seated beside the Port Orchard area school
superintendent who told me that the district has just opened
four new schools and that attendance was spurting in the
fast-growing community. Across the table from us was the
jolly, white-haired harbor master, who kept everyone
laughing with his quick Irish wit.
The day's program was interesting. A complete report of
the community's annual celebration, the July Fourth
"Fathoms of Fun" revealed that presently the enterprise
shows a net loss of about $3,000. Discussion followed about
how this loss might be wiped out. The speaker for the day
was. of course, a politician. Lloyd Granquist. a Republican
candidate for County Commissioner presented his case very
well and persuaded me that if I voted in Kitsap County I
would vote for Granquist.
Although I find visiting on the Olympic Peninsula is
pleasing especially when it isn't raining, and when one can
view the magnificent peaks of the Olympic Mountains, I
believe I am now really addicted to our drier, rim-rocked
hills. Husband Bill told me that this climate is lots better for
one than the coastal dampness, and again I am admitting, he
was right. By Saturday I had somehow developed a dandy
head cold, partly as the result ot tramping around in the
damp wooded area picking wild blackberries and gathering
salal and huckleberry greens.
As I drove north to Bremerton last Tuesday I was so intent
on getting to the hospital to see Karla and baby, Abiah, that I
didn't even try to spot Mt. St. Helens. However, when I drove
south on Sunday. Sept. 14. 1 took a few minutes to stop at the
official visitors viewpoint. There a guide kept saying that
regretfully the mountain was clouded from view, however if
it were visible, it would be to the north of a nearby barn and
'south of a row of trees east of the viewpoint. Along with
visitors of all ages I walked through the display of pictures
and statistics about the mountain. I was not tempted by the
big souvenier stand nearby which had a great variety of
decorated T-shirts and many other mementoes displayed for
sale. Sunday night, I doctored my cold at my brother's home
in Portland.
When Karla and Abiah and I went weekend shopping in
Bremerton. I saw several posters announcing a "Fifty
Family Yard Sale." This huge effort will benefit the Star of
the Sea parochial school. How disappointing to read that it is
slated for Saturday, Sept. 20, when I won't be there. It has
been such fun and excitement going to the one or two family
sales around here with Ida Farra on summer Saturday
mornings. I suppose that there will be a tremendous
collection of "junque" to look over at a fifty family sale.
Until my four visiting children and four young
grandchildren arrive from Imperial Beach and Cheney next
weekend my home seems mighty empty and quiet. Lela
Breidenbach, my housemate for the last ten months,
departed while I was away. She will soon be attending Link's
School of Business in Boise.
After Lela left last Friday, good neighbor. Dee Crist, took
over the feeding of my cat. Sam. When I retrieved the cat,
Dee told me that her husband, Winn, had flown off to Las
Vegas with their friend Paul Hansen to see some big air
races. Other neighbors reported that Heppner High had
swamped Stanfield in the season's opening football
game. However, this weekend the intra-county tussle
between Heppner and Riverside is expected not to be nearly
one-sided.
While I was off admiring tiny, beautiful Abiah Lucile
Weaver, a special little- Round Up week cowboy, Casey
McCurdy Currin, arrived in Pendleton on Thursday, Sept. 11.
He is the great-grandson of lone and Heppner's Delia
Davidson McCurdy and the grandson of Harlan and Donna
McCurdy of Pomeroy, Wash., and of Bob Currin of
Pendleton. Casey is now at home in Pendleton with his big
brother, Brian, who just celebrated his second birthday, and
with their parents Janet (McCurdy) and John Currin who are
both graduates of Heppner High.
A really big event this week was the invitation-only, formal
dedication of the Portland General Electric's Boardman
coal-fired power plant on Tuesday. Many dignitaries,
reporters and candidates for offices were in attendance. It
seemed a bit strange that this ceremony was set on election
day-but hopefully everyone managed to vote either before or
after the event.
Anyone who did not receive a formal invitation is
encouraged to attend the public open house at the Carty Site
next Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p m. or Sunday from noon to 4
p.m. We hope that many in the county will go to look through
this biggest thing ever built here. How helpful it would be to
have a good road connecting the site with lone and our Willow
Creek Vallev.

'All Of CaSCClde VOlcatlOCS
will erupt again6
Bv Susan Loth National
Goneraphic News Service
Mount St. HelenR may not be
the nnlv one to blow its slack.
"All of (he Cascade volcan
oes will erupt again." says Dr.
Richard Fiske. a vulcanolo
gisl and director of the
Smithsonian Institution's Nat
ional Museum of Natural
History. "But when they will
etupt is the question. They're
all considered active."
Sometimes people mistak
enly refer to a volcano as
extinct when it's merely
dormant. Fiske explained.
"It's always difficult to
know whether a volcano is
dead." he said. "Generally, if
we look at it and it hasn't
erupted for hundreds of thous
ands of years or million of
years, somebody might pro
nounce it dead.
"But many allegedly dead
volcanoes have come back to
life."
The Cascade Mountain
Range of the western United
States is peppered with vol
canoes. Washington State's
Mount St. Helens and Califor
nia's Lassen Peak, which
erupted from 1914-21. are the
only two that have exploded
this century in the 48 contig
uous states. But Mounts Bak
er. Rainier: Hood, and Shasta
also have erupted in the last
few hundred years. That's a
long time by human standards
but not so long in the life of a
volcano.
There is evidence of heat
inside all six of these volcan
oes, as well as others in the
Cascades, according to Fiske.
The hot sulphur spring at
Mount Shasta, the steam vents
at many volcanoes, and the
hydrogen sulphide emmis
sions at Mount Hood and
Mount Adams are all exam
ples of this thermal activity.
In 1975 Dwight'R Crandell.
Dona I R. Mullineaux. and
Meyer Rubin Of the U.S.
Geological Survey predicted
that Mount St. Helens was the
Cascade volcano most likely
to reawaken from dormancy.
"We had predicted Mount
St. Helens would erupt within
100 years." said Crandell.
"But then we went out on a
limb and said 'before the end
of the century.' "
One reason they expected
trouble from Mount St. Hel
ens, for instance, is that it has
been the most active and the
most explosive of the Cascade
volcanoes in the last 4.500
years. It's also the youngesl
anolher indicator that there
may be more eruptions ahead.
Its last eruption before this
spring was in 1857.
For many years. USGS
scientists have been studying
evidence from old eruptions in
or near the Cascades. By
finding out what came out of
the volcano, how often, and
how far it traveled, they have
been able to map out the areas

of the western United States
most likelv to be affected by
lava flows, mudflows. flood
ing, and ashfall.
The maps show that erup
tions similar to the largest in
the last 12.000 years could
endanger tens of thousands of
people.
A mud flow from Mount
Rainier about 5.000 years
covered more than 300 square
kilometers of southern Puget
Sound. Thousands of people
live there now in communities
southeast of Taeoma. Wash.
And flooding from a large
eruption at Rainier could
reach as far north as Seattle.
Oregon's Mount Hood has
been better behaved than
Rainier or SI Helens in the
last 15.000 years. But it could
send mudflows and floods into
some communities east of
Portland.
Most communities are far
enough away from the Cas
cades that' only an unusually
large mudflow or flood could
reach them. But three towns
at the base of California's
Mount Shasta could be demol
ished by even a small erup
tion. USGS scientists said. In a
chapter of the 1979 book
"Volcanic Activity and Hu
man Ecology." Crandell.
Mullineaux. and their col
league C. Dan Miller urged
people to pay more attention
to volcanoes.
Parts of the West, they
wrote, "face a progressive
increase in the potential
impact of future eruptions
because of a growing popula
tion, increasing recreational
use of areas around volcanoes,
and accelerating energy needs
that may be met in part by
new hydroelectric and nuclear
power plants dnwnvalley and
downwind from volcanoes."

called for land-use zoning in
high risk areas and careful
site selection for dams and
power plants. The authors
conceded, however, that a
volcanic eruption in the Cas
cades remains an unusual
happening.
They estimated the chance
of a small eruption some
where in the Cascades in I to
ion for any given year. T he
probability of a larger blast-on
the order of what St. Helens
produced May 18--was "per
. haps no greater than 1 in 1. 000
in any one year."
Correction
A story in the Sept. 4 issue of
the Gazette-Times entitled
"Low interest home loans now
available" stated that up to
$47,000 would be available for
purchase of existing homes
and up to $50,000 would be
available for new homes. This
information was incorrect. To
be eligible for a home loan
under this program, the max
imum sales price of an
existing home is $47,000 and
the maximum sales price of a
new home is $50,000. The
actual loans would be less
than these amounts, says
Western Heritage, deducting
down payments.

DRESSES
Fall dresses are saucy and
spicy with ruffles, flounces and
puffed sleeves. Schoolgirl
smocks and demure shirt
dresses charm with tender
tucks, pleats, flounces or crisp
white collars.
The sweater-chemise is a
knockout in bold stripes and
graphics or preppy in giant
argyles and Fair Isle patterns,
sometimes with popcorn
stitching.
The long torso dress with a
swinging skirt, the tri-color
dress and the business dress in
menswear pinstripes are this
season's sophisticates.
