The resident of the trailer, Charity Kuhns, was not home at the lime of the fire and no injuries were reported. Terry Tucker, Nappanee, is the property owner.

Offer eye protection advice during eclipse

Don’t directly view the May 10 solar eclipse, or you risk losing your vision, warns the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the world's largest association of medical eye doctors. “Many people use sunglasses or other filtering devices to view the eclipse, and think they’re protected,” according to Wayne Fung, MD, an ophthalmologist. “Commercial sunglasses arc not safe for looking at the sun, even if they claim to filter out all the ultraviolet light. People forget about the infrared light” The infrared light, lying outside the red end of the visible spectrum, is the cause of potentially blinding eye damage. The organization answers the most-asked questions about safe viewing of the eclipse: What happens if you look directly at the eclipse? Direct eclipse watching can cause irreparable bums to the retina, the membrane at the back of the eye that transmits light images to the brain, via the optic nerve. The actual injury leading to a blind spot is painless, because it is

(Wednesday). JUVENILES ARRESTED Nappanee Police Officers were called to the North Wood High School Athletic Center, at 8:01p.m., April 28, in reference to a fight When the policemen arrived they found four boys had been involved in an altercation.

Names are being withheld because all involved were juveniles.

not a thermal, or heat-based, reaction. “The radiant energy causes a photochemical reaction in the outermost layer of the retina,” Dr. Fung explains. Does the Academy advise against direct viewing of the eclipse? Yes. Almost all deviccs--wcldcr’s goggles, smoke-colored glass, neutral density filters, mylar glasses, developed film—arc considered unsafe and arc not recommended. So, how do I get a look at the eclipse? You can watch it safely on television. In addition, many science centers and planetariums schedule safe viewing of the eclipse with special equipment. The path of the eclipse, a roughly 150-milc-widc band from which the annulus fan be secn-will stretch diagonally across North America, starting in central Baja, California, crossing the North Atlantic, and ending in Morocco. Major cities along the path include El Paso, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; Springfield, Illinois; Toronto, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. The rest of North America will see this event as a partial solar eclipse.
