They are defi- nitely a great group.” Brockway also finished second in the long jump (15.05-75) and the triple jump (32-02.00), where she set a personal record. The top two placers in each event advance to the state championships in Eugene. Cates finished third in the 400-meter dash, but will ad- vance to state in that event, as the second-place athlete pulled out of the race. “This additional event is a plus,” Smith said. “We can use it to try and defend our state title.” Chelsie Kodesh in shot put and Reitta Wyllie in discus came close to qualifying but were edged out with third- place finishes in those events.

Our volunteers are a real blessing and are keeping very busy with the usual routine, but now dealing with walk-ins and telephone calls seeking information about the eclipse, as well as purchasing posters, t-shirts, solar glasses and an array of other souvenirs commemorating the eclipse. Be sure to attend and get updated at our next eclipse meeting, Wednesday, May 17, at 4 p.m. at the Canyon City Community Hall. We recently completed the remodel of our chamber office front entryway, extending the foyer inward with new walls, windows and a glass door that can be locked inside after hours, allowing visitors the opportunity to still enter 24/7 and pick up information about our local motels, restaurants, museums and other local attractions in the area in hopes of keeping them from passing on through our area. Stop in and take a look! Our guest speaker for our May 18 luncheon meeting will be Irene Jerome, who comes from a pioneer family that homesteaded in Wasco County in 1879 and still in the family.
