A6 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM Watch out for solar luna(r)-tics during eclipse IN BRIEF Fiddlers perform toe-tappin tunes at Heritage Days The Blue Mountain Old Time Fiddlers are featured performers during the 2017 Heritage Days. Featuring members from throughout the region and beyond, the group will perform Thursday through Saturday at 6 p.m. at Em- igrant Springs State Her- itage Area. The laid back group from throughout the Pacific Northwest present an unforgettable three- hour show. They provide toe-tappin’ music at com- munity events throughout Eastern Oregon. The Heritage Days activities run Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It features the Oregon Trail Travelers, Buck and Suzette Mining, Oregon Wild, muzzle loaders and working with wood. There is no charge for the all-ag- es event. Emigrant Springs is about 20 miles east of Pendleton off Interstate WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 2017 COMMUNITY 84 at Exit 234. People are invited to come up for the day or check for overnight camping accommodations, which can be reserved at www.oregonstateparks. org or by calling 800-452- 5687. For more informa- tion about Heritage Days, call 541-983-2277. Nasario, Basile perform the blues, and more A couple of fan favor- ites — Jamie Nasario and Luke Basile — will take the stage during the up- coming Music in the Parks. The free event is Mon- day, July 10, at 7 p.m. at Boardman Marina Park. In addition, food will be available for purchase. People are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chairs. Hardly needing an in- troduction to Eastern Or- egon audiences, Nasario and Basile frequently per- form together with each complementing the other in sound and style. By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR We have become a soci- ety of commercialization. I know I’m preaching to the choir when I say this. Remember the days when stores were closed on Thanksgiving and Christ- mas? I do. And, I liked it — even when I had to scramble to find some yeast one year on Christmas Day because ours had gone bad. The latest event that’s been overrun by commer- cialization is the upcoming total solar eclipse. If you’ve been hiding under a rock and haven’t heard about it — the celes- tial show, which features the sun hiding behind the moon’s shadow, is Monday, Aug. 21. The path of totali- ty will touchdown at about 10:15 a.m. on the Oregon coast between Lincoln City and Newport. It will travel a swath through the entire state as it makes its Tammy way across the Malgesini United States. INSIDE MY Seriously, SHOES people are get- ting crazy about a celestial happening. Expert eclipse meteorologist Jay Ander- son, touting typically clear August skies, said Oregon offers a great chance to ful- ly experience the cosmic phenomenon. Evidently, the masses agree — more than 1 mil- lion people are expected to travel to the state to expe- rience the sun’s dance with the moon. Even the Oregon Department of Transporta- tion is concerned — urg- ing people not to become luna(r)-tics. To reduce road congestion, they suggest ar- riving early, staying put and leaving late. NASA is calling it an “experience of a lifetime.” Well, I must be extra spe- cial — because I recall ex- periencing a solar eclipse while living in Newberg when I was a freshman in college. Only, back then, it seems people didn’t focus on making big bucks off the event. There weren’t a bunch of souvenir T-shirts, commemorative view- ing glasses weren’t flood- ing the market and motel rooms weren’t outrageous- ly priced. For the August 21 event, Pendleton (which isn’t in the path of totality) is toss- ing its hat into the ring in hopes of cashing in as a “gateway to the eclipse.” Travel Pendleton has pon- dered offering packages that include accommoda- tions and chartered buses to the path of totality. I have no interest in dealing with the possibili- ty of solar luna(r)-tics road rage. Without a shadow of a doubt — although, Herm- iston doesn’t have a front row seat — local residents will be treated to quite the celestial show. The max- imum coverage, which is all but a sliver, will occur at about 10:23 a.m. (to view a simulation, visit www. timeanddate.com/eclipse/ in/usa/hermiston). I don’t care what the so- lar snobs say, that’s good enough for me. I’ll crank up George Harrison’s “Here Comes the Sun” and don some special glasses during my second in a lifetime ex- perience.
