This is the fi rst case of WNV reported in Lane County in 2016. “This case really reminds us of the health challenges which present themselves during late summer and early fall, namely those associated with outdoor activity” said Dr. Patrick Lu- edtke, Lane County Chief Health Offi cer. “Fortunately, with minimal preventive effort, keeping safe during late sum- mer is quite achievable.” While human cases of WNV in Lane County are rare, given the fact that the Labor Day holi- day weekend is just around the corner and many people are taking advantage of the warm weather before kids go back to school, Lane County Health and Human Services urges residents to be mindful of upcoming sea- sonal health concerns. “Our vector population, along with other hazardous organisms, thrive in the continued warm air and water temperatures during this time of year,” added Dr. Lu- edtke. The following health threats and corresponding tips can help community members and their loved ones enjoy one of the most beautiful times of year while West Nile virus: WNV is a seasonal virus that fl ares up in the summer and continues into the fall until tem- peratures consistently fall below 50 degrees.

DEET-free alternatives, such as, lemon eu- calyptus oil and citronella, are also effective. Mosquitos are the most ac- tive from dusk to dawn. Use in- sect repellent and wear covered clothing or stay indoors during this time. Inspect your home for any openings which mosquitoes could use to enter and make sure all windows are covered with protective screens. Empty any standing water i.e. fl ower pots, buckets, barrels, etc. Change water in pet dishes and bird baths weekly. staying safe and healthy.

This enforcement period comes ahead of the Labor Day holi- day, the last major holiday of the sum- mer. Deputies will be working special overtime, federally funded, and ad- ministered by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Deputies will be focusing on enforcing various traffi c violations that will include, but are not limited to: seatbelt use in motor vehicles, violating the “hands-free” cellphone law, texting and speed. According to the US Department of Transportation, consistent safety belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes.

River Road 541-942-4664 Meet the DJ/Program Host LLOYD WILLIAMS I was born in Eugene and grew up in Cottage Grove, graduating from CGHS in 1968 -- go Lions! I studied radio at Lane Community College in the 1970s, graduating with a degree in both radio broadcasting and television design. I subsequently moved my studies to the University of Oregon, graduating with a B.S. in Communications. I worked my way through school, fi rst in the plywood plant at the Cottage Grove Weyerhaeuser mill, and later while working in radio. I took classes as I could aff ord them. It was a slow process. I graduated from the UO at the ripe old age of 39. While working at the mill, I had the good fortune to meet Don Work who had a popular Saturday Oldies request show on KNND. He asked me to help him pull records for his show. Th at experience hooked me on radio and I changed my LCC major from Business to Radio Broadcasting and began interning at KNND in late-1971. In six months, I joined the KNND team as a full-time employee working 36 hours a week on the air and other assignments (that’s code for cleaning the bathroom and hauling out trash!). I eventually worked in all capacities: air talent, production, music director, program director. By 1973, I was also working at KEED in Eugene on the weekends. I don’t recall having a day off from radio for a couple of years. I left KNND in 1976 and worked my way into a full-time position at Keed where I had a terrifi c run on the air and as music director. While I was still at KNND, I assisted Keed in developing a new record library when they changed their music format from Top-40 to County. In return, KNND received all their old Top-40 record library! Old-timers will remember”K-double-E-D”! What a great radio station. Much of what I learned at Keed helped me as the KNND music director, program director, and mid-day air talent. And I was ecstatic to be able to add all the Keed oldies from the 1950s and ‘60s to our increasingly popular music rotation! It is that music that I play exclusively today: the music of the ‘50s and ‘60s, “the greatest musical era”, right here on KNND on Mondays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I hope you’ll join me. 321 Main Street Cottage Grove, OR 97424 Lobby Phone: 541.942.2468 Studio Line: 541.942.5548 Online requests: request@knnd.com NACHO BAR SUNDAYS 12-8PM NEW HAPPY HOUR FOOD MENU 3-7PM *LEEV&RWWDJH*URYH EL TAPATIO Mexican Restaurant & Cantina (541) 767-0457 SANDWICH Daily Specials 20% OFF for Active Military & Vets Tuesday Night is Senior Night 4pm-8pm OF THE WEEK Open Daily for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner 6 a.m.-10 p.m. Sun-Thurs 6 a.m. - 10 a.m. Fri. & Sat.
