It’s impossible to com- pletely avoid going outdoors, but there are ways to give your eyes a little help when the air is extra smoky. If your symp- toms do not resolve, be sure to schedule an appointment with your eye care provider.

Martinez drove west to Highway 99, eventually turning off into downtown Fresno.

lost control in the soft dirt and rolled down the embankment into the river.
Martinez swam across the river to Scout Island, forcing a lockdown at the camp and the nearby Fig Garden Golf Club as deputies as- sumed the suspect was armed. The Eagle One and a California Highway Patrol helicopter spotted Martinez wading through water trying to take a canoe from the scout camp. The Eagle one hovered over Martinez and prevented him from getting into the canoe.
Martinez waded back to shore and ran be- tween trees and bushes in an effort to escape. The pursuit ended when Bady, a K-9 officer, found the suspect hiding in bushes and depu- ties made the arrest.
Martinez was hospitalized briefly for treat- ment of his dog bites and later booked into jail. The entire incident lasted about an hour and 15 minutes.

EYE HEALTH Continued from page A2
son Fire in Mariposa County that led to a temporary clo- sure of Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park.
There are a few tips that can help reduce the effects of bad air quality.
1. Place a cool compress on top of your closed eyes.
2. Wear large sunglasses outdoors.
4. Use artificial tears to wash out allergens and pollut- ants in your tear film.
5. Use a humidifier in your home.
6. Limit your time out- doors.
It is important for Central Valley residents to take pre- cautions like these, especially since people who live in re- gions with high levels of pol- lutants are three to four times more likely to develop chronic dry eye syndrome.
