Melissa Cunnington
will perform for the Music
in the Parks outdoor sum-
mer concert series at 7 p.m.
on July 17 at the Irrigon
Marina Park, located off
Highway 730 in Irrigon.
Melissa Cunnington is
a professional singer and
performer. She just finished
her third album called “Au-
tumn Leaves.”
“It is a fantastic album
with a mix of jazz stan-
dards and easy listening pop
tunes,” says Cunnington.
She says she loves to
sing a variety of musical
genres. Currently she per-
forms with 3-Way Street
from the Tri-Cities.

tween Boardman and Ir-
-Continued from PAGE ONE the eclipse. There also may in position. On Aug. 19-20 crowds Bowles says for
plan for the eclipse and 23
representatives from law
enforcement, the forest ser-
vice, the health district, city,
county and other agencies
gathered to talk about the
eclipse and how to manage
the expected crowds.
Fire hazard seems to
be one of the biggest fears
of most agencies. The for-
est service will have crews
on stand-by, as many are
worried that people coming
from the western part of the
state may not understand
how much fire hazard there
is in the eastern part of
Oregon. For instance, will
people pull off the side of
the road into tall grass with
their hot vehicles and start
fires? Will people who are
camping—and Bowles says
they will be everywhere,
setting up makeshift camp-
sites—start campfires dur-
ing a normal no-burning
season? Bowles doesn’t
know the answer to these
questions, but says they are
going to do the best they
can to be ready.
Also brought up was
that cell phones towers are
expected to be overloaded
and there will be no cell ser-
vice available during that
several-day period around
be loss of GPS service.
Gasoline for your car?
He is recommending get-
ting filled up in advance
of the crowds, as they may
drain what is available at
our gas stations. “People
are coming from an area
where they are used to
seeing gas stations every
mile, or maybe even every
other block. And when
they get out here they may
not see a gas station for 40
or 50 miles,” he says. He
is expecting there will be
vehicles that run out of gas.
ATM machines could
run out of cash with all the
crowds, although the local
banks reportedly have said
they will be monitoring
them. Also bottled water
from the stores, ice and
other food items may be in
short supply if the crowds
get big.
The eclipse will make
land fall at approximately
10:15 a.m. just north of
Newport and will exit Or-
egon at Ontario approxi-
mately 10:27 a.m. Mon-
day, Aug. 21. Bowles says
those who plan ahead—and
some have planned two
years in advance to see the
event—will travel to Or-
egon around Aug. 18 and be

the last-minute travelers
will be arriving. He says we
should expect three to five
thousand additional people
in Morrow County to wit-
ness the eclipse, with most
of those being in South
County. This does not in-
clude the people who will
be traveling through Mor-
row County.
Bowles says they ex-
pect to see high traffic on
I-84, Hwy. 207, Hwy. 206,
Hwy. 74 and Hwy. 730.
“We will see these trav-
elers on county roads and
city streets, in stores, gas
stations etc,” he says. And
we could see: “traffic jams,
accidents, lost or stranded
motorists, random camps,
trespassing and medical is-
sues. (Not to mention other
crime).”
Bowles also recom-
mends everyone have a
pair of safety glasses for
viewing the eclipse. He
says some people will look
directly at the eclipse and
receive eye damage. “Of
all the people who go to
the doctor afterward with
problems from viewing
the eclipse, 50 percent will
experience permanent eye
damage,” he says.
To prepare for the
the sheriff’s department it
will be “all hands on deck”
during the eclipse period.
He said Morrow County
Sheriff’s Office will have
increased law enforcement
and traffic patrols county
wide to cover this event.
Morrow County Emer-
gency Management will be
working out of its mobile
command unit based at the
Morrow County OHV Park.
Bowles said there will
be day and night patrols
to maintain public safety
and security. Temporary
repeaters will be used in
both South Morrow and
Umatilla County to increase
radio communications. Ra-
dio communications from
the command truck will be
450, 518, 519 and Black
Mountain.
Bowles says he has so
far given his presentation to
all the county chamber of
commerce groups, is work-
ing on the city councils (he
