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.

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.
