family.

McGuire,
father
to
their three daughters: Cheryl,
Geri and Theresa; grandfather
to six and great-grandfather to
four; he is also survived by his
two younger brothers, Kenneth
and Pat McGuire; and a sister,
Mary.
Mac was born Jan. 26, 1935,
in Belvue, Kan.
His early days were spent
“on the farm.” At the age of 18,
he joined the Navy, serving on
seven different ships in 17
years at sea. He was homeport-
ed in Sasebo and Yokosuka,
Japan during the Korean and
Vietnam wars.
He served two years of
recruiting duty in Wichita,
Kan., and was a senior instruc-
tor of the Steam Generating
(Boiler) Inspector School at
San Diego, Calif. Mac’s dedi-
cation to his Naval career was
recognized by the award of the
Navy Achievement Medal with
Combat, Navy Combat Action
Ribbon, Navy Unit Citation,
five Good Conduct medals,
China Service Medal, two
National Defense medals, two
Armed Forces Expeditionary
medals, seven Vietnam Service
medals, RVN Gallantry Cross
with Palm, Vietnam Campaign
Medal and Korea Defense
Medal.
After retiring from the Navy,
he went to a career as a con-
tractor for Supervisor of
Shipbuilding, Conversion and
Repair (SUPSHIP).
Mac and Dorothy retired to
their seaside home in beautiful
Florence 15 years ago. During
his retirement here, Mac was
an avid bowler and golfer. He
was active with the VFW and
served as Commander.
During his term, he was
responsible for overseeing the
completion of the Veteran’s
Wall on Bay Street. He was a
Mason, an Elk and a Cootie.
As an appropriate salute, Mac
will be buried at sea.
A memorial service may be
planned locally at a future
time.
We wish you fair winds and
following seas, sailor. You are
loved and will be missed.

Eclipse tips offered to
Lane County residents
Lane County is gearing up
to help residents and visitors
make the most of the 2017
solar eclipse on Aug 21.
“With much of Lane
County at or close to 99 per-
cent totality we have a great
opportunity to view the
eclipse without fighting traffic
and the risk of being stuck on
the road during the event,”
said Lane County Emergency
Manager Linda Cook. “We
encourage residents to enjoy
the eclipse from a location
near them — a backyard, bal-
cony or similar place can pro-
vide a great and convenient
view.”
Tips for Lane County resi-
dents during the eclipse
include:
• Consider the eclipse a
multi-day
event
with
increased traffic through Aug.
23.
• Florence is on the “path to
the path” of totality. Roads on
and off major highways might
be busier than usual so be sure
to remain patient.
• Keep cool and be kind in
crowds and traffic. It’s sort of
like a busy holiday that only
comes once every 100 years
or so.
The next total solar eclipse
to cross Oregon will happen
in 2169.
• Don’t get stuck. Bypass
the lines by filling up gas
tanks and grocery shopping
early in the week before the
eclipse.
• Be patient with the inter-
net, the ATM and cell phones.
With the increased number of
visitors, internet and cellular
service may become slow or
overwhelmed, especially on
Monday.
Lastly,
• Don’t fall for a fake: wear
certified glasses made to pro-
tect eyes from an eclipse.

Police two-week seatbelt ‘Blitz’ to begin Monday
Oregon State Police, the
Lane County Sheriff’s Office
and the Florence Police
Department will be working to
increase proper safety belt and
child car seat use during a
statewide traffic enforcement
“blitz” from Aug. 21 through
Sept. 3.
Officers will also be on the
alert for persons exceeding the
posted speed limit and violat-
ing the “hands-free” cellphone
law. This enhanced enforce-
ment is paid from dedicated
funding through the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.
Oregon Department of
Transportation crash data for
2015 shows that lack of safety
belt or child restraint use was a
factor in 35 percent — or 79 of
the total 289 — motor vehicle
occupant fatalities. Motor vehi-
cle crashes are the leading
nationwide cause of death for
children ages one through 12
years old.
A new Oregon law for chil-
dren under two years old
requires they use a child seat
with harness in a rear-facing
position unless the child turned
one year of age prior to May
26, 2017.
A child over age two or who
turned one year of age prior to
May 26, 2017, must continue
to ride in a car seat with har-
ness or in a booster until they
reach age 8 or 4’ 9” in height
and the adult belt fits them cor-
rectly.
The new law, which extends
the rear facing requirement
from age one to age two, will
better protect the child’s head,
neck, and spine from potential
crash injuries.
Rear-facing seats spread
crash forces evenly across the
seat and child’s body, while
also limiting forward or side-
ways motion of the head.
For help selecting or
installing child car seats, con-
sult the seat manufacturer’s
instructions, your vehicle
owner’s manual, or visit a local
child seat fitting station listed
at: www.nhtsa.gov/apps/cps/
index.htm.
