Winners announced for Elks State Eye Clinic poster contest
Once again, the Florence

Siuslaw Elementary School.
The presentations were

eled gym at Siuslaw Elemen-
tary by Bob Catterton, the

poster contest, and Joyce
Middleton, the chair for the
district eye program, Flor-
ence Lodge Trustee and Or-
egon State Trustee.
The three top awards
went to Sailor Jensen for
first place; Mollie Burtt for
second place; and Harper
Young took third place.
This year, our sec-
ond-place winner Mollie
Burtt placed first at the dis-
trict level and her poster has

by October 2020. This is the
major charitable project for
the Oregon Elks Associa-
tion.
The Elks became involved
with the Oregon School of
Medicine in 1949 and have
contributed enormously to
the growth of the clinic. An-
nually, the visual program

sociation contributes to the
Elks Children’s Eye Clinic.
First COVID-19 case confirmed in Lane County
Lane County Public
Health (LCPH) was no-
tified Monday that a test
submitted by a local pro-
vider came back positive
for COVID-19.
This is the first positive
test in Lane County.
The resident is a 69-year-
old man who lives in a pri-
vate residence in the Eu-
gene/Springfield area.
Contact investigations
are ongoing but, based
on the current informa-
tion obtained, this case is
thought to be an example
of community transmis-
sion.
He is currently at home,
following all LCPH rec-
ommendations, and is
medically stable.
Individuals who had
contact with the commu-
nity member will be con-
tacted by Lane County
Public Health so they can
work with their health care
provider on next steps.
Communicable disease
investigations are current-
ly happening. If a public
contact exposure point is
identified, that informa-
tion will be shared with
the public.
Symptom onset for this
individual began on March
1 with a fever, body aches,
chills and a light cough.
A test was taken by
the patient’s provider on
March 13.
Community members
are encouraged to prac-
tice the same hygiene and
social distancing measures
that have been recom-
mended by Lane County,
the Oregon Health Au-
thority, and the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention.
These preventative mea-
sures include:
• Covering your mouth
when coughing or sneez-
ing.
• Washing your hands
often for at least 20 sec-
onds with soap and water.
• Regularly cleaning
“high touch” areas includ-
ing doorknobs, counter-
tops, computer keyboards,
phones, and faucet han-
dles.
• Avoid touching your
eyes, mouth, and nose
with unwashed hands.
• Practicing social dis-
tancing.
• Staying at home if you
are sick, and limiting visi-

Additionally, vulnera-
ble populations and those
with health complications
should follow the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention recommenda-
tions to stay at home and
avoid groups of people.
“We understand that
this is a difficult time for
our community, and that
each of us is impacted in
a different way,” said Dr.
Patrick Luedtke, Public
Health Officer. “A posi-
tive test result does not
alter our response, we will
continue to monitor all
potential cases, do con-
tact investigations, and
work to reduce the spread
of COVID-19 across Lane
County.”
Dunes City to
update
emergency
services
Dunes City is seeking
information to help iden-
tify the numbers of indi-
viduals in the city consid-
ered “at risk” of the novel
coronavirus (COVID-19)
within city limits.
“This would mean any-
one over 65 years of age
and/or individuals with
underlying health prob-
lems,” Dunes City Record-
er/Administrator Jamie
Mills stated in a city-wide
email.
The information will
be given to Western Lane
Ambulance District and
local medical centers to
let them know how many
might be at risk for the
virus within Dunes City
limits.
“That way they can plan
and obtain supplies be-
fore the need arises,” Mills
said.
Dunes City is not re-
questing specific names
of residents and requests
private information not
be shared with the city. In-
stead, staff are looking for
general information.
For example, “On Park-
way Drive, from Boy
Scout to the end there
are 25 individuals who
meet this criteria, with
possibly two more if the
second-home owners are
in town. One of the year-
round residents is on oxy-
gen and another is wheel-
chair bound.”
Mills said, “If neighbors
could work together to let
me know this information
as soon as possible, it will
make obtaining adequate
resources and getting help
much faster and easier,
should we need it.”
Information can be
sent to Mills at recorder@
dunescityor.com.
