husbands 3000 to 4000 women are beaten to death each year Attacks by husbands on wives result in more injuries requiring medical treatment than rapes mugging and automobile accidents combined woman is abused every 18 seconds (nearly FBI statistics estimate that an American 5000 per day) 20 of visits by women to hospital emergency rooms are attributed to battering killed female 30 are homicide victims of by their husband or boyfriend 75 of abuse persons experienced or itness physical abuse while they were grow25 of women who are abused are pregnant resulting in a high number of miscarriages and birth complications In 50 of all battered women cases the children are beaten as well who commit homicide murder the man who beat their 63 of boys ages mothers Every 5 years the death toll of people killed by friends or relatives equals that of the American death toll in the entire Vietnam war in 10 episodes of domestic violence is ever reported to the police Only 23 of police officer killed in the line of duty died while trying to break up dispute These are not pleasant statistics We would rather not know about them But whether people accept them or not they are fact It’s happening in our country in our state in our neighborhood The one thing that contributes highly to these statistics is Domestic Violence will diminish only when the public refuses to it as public apathy “just a family problem” refuses to accept it as right refuses to accept it as ‘acceptable’ It should be a concern to every American that this sort of violence is going on If you have a problem with domestic violence or know someone who does New Horizons Crisis Center can help Call us at or outside the calling it was a great Evan reported on the circus the Chamber helped to sponsor saying

the first official astronomical day of DT It is at this time that the Earth is furthest from on Saturday the 2 st at 4 20 a m It is at this time tha! our day and night are of equal the Sun at a mere 93 million miles three minutes shorter duration and then each day after our day becomes approximately It is also the time that our Sun reaches the highest point towards the zenith (the position directly overhead) Of importance is the fact that our observ ing the planets and constelafter 10:00 lations and deep sky objects become restricted to late at night generally pm save the Moon and the brighter planets One of the most spectacular obiects to observe which is not only relatively close but It the Sun is not a or own to instrument does our locate star easy require high powered for that matter even a high quality optical dev ice One can see the sunspots which are But before 6 cycle towards maximum now just beginning to rise in numbers on their Do not even think we can observe the Sun it is imperative that a bit of warning be given of using any optical device directly to look at the Sun! Don't even try to use smoked glass or exposed film to protect your eyes! Although use of these crude methods may appear safe the infrared rays from the Sun can cause permanent and irreversible damage Also for those persons that own a telescope that may be to your sight in an instant supplied with a solar filter in the eyepiece the best thing you can do with this is use it as a sinker the next time you go fishing 3 here are inexpensive solar filters available at a very modest cost that adapt to binoculars spotting scopes or to any type of telescope regardless of size or power The most important rule to remember is that you must filter the Sun's rays before they enter any optical device By the way sunglasses don't work either If in doubt consult a knowledgeable person familiar with observing summer the Sun As mentioned many times before the Sun is our closest star and the only one that can be resolved into a disk with the protected naked eyes or with any properly protected optics Astronomers with their vast array of instrumentation have been able to see similar markings on some of the larger stars such as Betelgeuse in Orion and Antarcs in Scorpio Through other instrumentation astronomers have found that most stars in our universe are not much different from our Sun Some are less violent than otherswhile some are far more violent than others of course like anything else in our universe there are exceptions These exceptions cover neutron stars white dwarfs brown dwarfs and novae of various sorts which we discussed in previous Millard County Skies articles Once equipped with a quality solar filter and some type of optical device be it a pair of binoculars or a small telescope what do we look for? This will depend on the magnification being used In a pair of binoculars that yield OX you will be able to see small dark spots on the Sun which change position daily as the Sun rotates on its axis These will appear small in size so you must look close The photograph below will give you some idea of what to expect This sunspot is a violent solar storm on the surface of the sun This spot is as large as our whole planet earth! The sunspot appears darker than the solar disk only because it is slightly cooler than the surrounding surface temperature Solar disk power area At 25 Activity DayJune 23 1997 the Delta Utah Stake

passing of the trams in the eye In the above photograph you will notice a large blotch This is a group of sunspots that travel together across the solar disk and is very common during peak activity within the solar cycle During peak cycles solar storms have been known to disrupt communications and video reception Also at peak activity is when this causes the very prominent Aurora Borealis or bener known as the “Northern Lights" to put on its beautiful display as high energy ions interact with the elements in our atmosphere The Northern Lights are more prominent as we travel to higher latitudes due to the magnetic effects of our earth’s north and south poles In the southern hemisphere they are more commonly known as the Aurora Australis or “Southern Lights" For those of you that ow n a small to 250x magnification the telescope ielding sun offers a real treat As you boost the magnification you ill be able to see more and more detail as shown in the photographs below Another word of caution if your telescope has a finder scope mounted on the body be sure to completely prevent any light from entering it at all Lens cap it or remove it Not only can you receive bums and permanent eye damage but you will most likely destroy the optics and crosshairs of the finderscope! At magnifications of lOOx you will be able to sec more of the smaller sunspots but you will also be able to see the umbra and penumbra' of the indiv idual spots This is the dark core and the gradual gray shading of the penumbra You will also be able to note the movement over the course of hours of the movement of the sunspots across the sun’s surface Over a period of approximately 3 days the spots will migrate from one limb of the sun to the other Fillmore to the bleak new settlement could see The only thing to break the was the f on the north of the house new settlement while he It brought stamps post cards and envelopes For six days until the building was completed and the necessary equipment was moved in a small trunk which had been brought back from the Mormon Battalion's long march by Grandfather Levi McCullough was used to hold the On January 13 1908 Henry started building a small room tor a post office He had been appointed postmaster for the still lived in Fillmore The first mail amved January 18 1908 A highly magnified mail of stamps was made to Sarah McCullough wife of son Levi In order enough patronage to maintain a post office members of the family would write to each other Eight letters a day had to pass through the post office to keep the contract from lapsing For almost two years the McCullough family transported the mail from the railroad to the post office free gratus In October 1908 a postal inspector came to see about employing a mail messenger It as determined the building w hich had been constructed for the post office would have to be moved 58 feet to meet the required 180 feet from the mail car if Mr McCullough wanted to qualify- for the job The first grocery store was installed in this log office by Henry's TC Callister of Fillmore The first Sunday School for LDS members was also held in the little building Postmaster Henry Judson McCullough was bom April 13 1842 in Jackson County Michigan His father Levi enlisted in the Mormon Battalion leaving his wife and four small children with the Saints at W inter Quarters Upon his return he found that his wife and baby daughter had died and his other children were living with friends He and the surviving children moved to Utah Henry married Helen Marr Callister in 864 and their wedding dance was held in the Territorial Capital building Ten children were bom to them He was postmaster until his death December 17 191 Mrs McCullough passed away June 30 1930 Submitted by Erma McCullough view of some Sunspots The first sale to have 4 Magnified view of the surface with dusters of Of the Sun Sunspots Chronicle Progress radio program Please join Chromcle Progress reporter Derin Phelps and columnist Kathy Walker as they share their insights on each week’s issue of the Millard County and Kathy can behead every Saturday a 1005 am on KNAJC Radio AM 540 The program is dedicated to those who may have trouble reading the paper each week due to sight problems or time constraints Please pass the word to anyone who is sight impaired and misses reading the Chronicle Progress each week tnn |
