Local
OMSI delights Brooklyn students
BY BRIAN ADDISON

Oregon Museum of
Science and Industry
(OMSI) brought the “Al-
tered States” educational
program to Baker City
elementary school students
on April 16. Brooklyn
gymnasium set the stage
for fun science experi-
ments highlighted by a big
boom, a shower of ping
pong balls, and plenty of
steam emitted by the cold
temperature experiments
using liquid nitrogen.
Erik Anderson, OMSI
educator from the Port-
land museum, drove the
OMSI van throughout the
region last week during
the annual eastern Oregon
tour, which included stops
in Enterprise, Haines and
Brooklyn.
“We don’t think of it as
the Portland Museum of
Labor and Industry but as
the Oregon Museum,” said
Anderson. “The eastern
Oregon tour gives students
who can’t get to the mu-
seum in Portland a chance
to participate and learn
about OMSI.”
OMSI offers 200 inter-
active exhibits highlighting
renewable energy, global
climate, health and well-
ness, chemistry, engineer-
ing, and technology. There
are fi ve exhibit halls and
Botanicals

Erik Anderson, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland, visited
Brooklyn Primary School April 16 and demonstrated the seemingly magical
properties of liquid nitrogen. Helping him during an experiment were (from left to
right) Diana MacLeod, Eva Anderson, Clark Norton, Anderson, Dash Bloomer,
and Evangeline Rexroad.
eight hands-on science
labs. Unique attractions
include the US Navy’s last
non-nuclear, fast-attack
submarine, the USS Blue-
back Submarine (SS-581).
OMSI holds the largest and
most technologically ad-
vanced planetarium in the
Pacifi c Northwest in the
Kendall Planetarium. And,
after a long day of experi-
menting and looking to the
stars, patrons can kick back
in the OMSI Empirical
Theater for popcorn and
the latest science-centered
movie feature.

1-63 changes
Baker County
Commissioner
positions to
nonpartisan.
Sounds good?
Think again.
Here’s what
1-63 really does:
• You will KNOW LESS ABOUT CANDIDATES.
Their political affi liations will be cloaked.
• We will LOSE MUCH OF OUR REPRESENTATIVE
LOCAL CONTROL over the replacement process when
Commissioners resign.
• Nonpartisan races historically have LOWER VOTER
TURNOUT, not higher, as 1-63 proponents claim.
