Distribution David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publisher Eclipse poses eyesight hazard The solar eclipse May 10 will be the last viewable eclipse in the northwest until the 21st century. Dr. Robert Rolen, an optometrist in Heppner and Hermiston, warns that direct viewing of the eclipse can cause damage to the eyes, resulting in vision loss and even blindness. The eclipse, which will be 50 percent visible in Oregon, will be anntilar. meaning the moon will not entirely block the sun. A ring of the sun will be visible around the circumference of the moon during the entire eclipse. Dr. Rolen encourages all eclipse enthusiasts to observe it indirectly. “ A special viewing box is the only safe viewing method,” says Rolen. The doctors of the Oregon Op- tometric Association regularly see patients who have lost part of their vision because their retinas were burned when they stared at the sun. The retina, the inner lin ing of the back of the eye, has no pain receptors. It cannot signal pain. This lack of warning can cause people to unknowingly scar or burn a hole in the retina. The resulting vision loss cannot be repaired. During the last eclipse in 1970, nearly 150 eclipse-related burns to the retinas were reported. Sixty percent of the patients had look ed directly at the sun with the naked eye; 40 percent had view ed the sun through what they thought were protective devises, (sunglasses, exposed film , welding goggles, binoculars or smoked glass). Computer disks are not safe either. With or without a solar eclipse, Dr. Rolen strongly recommends indirect viewing of the sun. Brown — Hall Martin — Smith Cathy Martin and Brett Smith.

Chinese Friday and Saturday Soup - Egg Flower Chinese Pepper Beef Shripm Egg Foo Young Pork Fried Rice My Two Cents arlson By Judge Louis (5ar Work is progressing nicely on the development of the plan for the Morrow County Antique Farming Museum. This progress is due in part to Ron Brentano of the Oregon Historical Society who spent some time in Heppner last fall making a professional assessment of the “ Shorty Peck Collection” of antique farm equipment. Some of his written comments were “ This has the potential for being the largest collection to exhibit and broadly interpret a coun ty's history in the entire state. It is unusual in that most of the ob jects are in working condition, and that the collection also has the potential for educational living history programs and interpretation.” Brentano also said that “ considering the fact that Heppner’s loca tion off 1-84, its location at the crossroads of a featured scenic byway and its proximity to other historical attractions with significant visita tion, (Oregon Trail Interpretive Center), the new Morrow County Historical Center would undoubtedly become a major tourist destina tion.” Kinzua will be back in operation by the middle of May. How long? No one knows, but this should be a signal to all of us that we are in the middle of an economic change that requires diversification of our economy. Seems to me that the Morrow County History Center may well fit into that diversification plan. Paul Morris, of McKeever & Morris has been hired to consult and assist the local ad hoc committee in developing this historical center. Four objectives have been set out: -the county should clearly identify its goals and objectives at the outset of the project; -a preliminary site availability analysis should be conducted before an advisory committee and other activities begin; -an open public involvement effort should be started as early in the process as possible; -a plannning process and schedule should be developed at the outset and adopted to ensure completion in a timely manner. The next meeting will be held May 20 at 7 p.m. at the museum. Sure hope that you can be there to help this project along. I know that this is going to be a major attraction to this community and your input will be necessary from the very beginning. The deadline for completion of the planning process is set for August 20 so don't miss out on any of these monthly meetings.
