A bird found deceased on pri-
vate property in Lane County
has tested positive for West Nile
Virus (WNV). 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. While WNV is rare,
it is easily transmitted and can
cause serious illness. The virus
is spread primarily through in-
fected mosquitoes and typical-
ly after the insect has bitten a
bird. Early symptoms include
fever, headache, body aches and
skin rash.

Highway Traffi c Safety Administra-
tion (NHTSA) as well as other State
Law Enforcement agencies across
the state, from Aug. 22 through Sept.
4 for the national “click it or ticket”
Preventive Tips:
When outdoors use repellents
containing DEET. 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.

those who frequently enjoy the

campaign. 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. In 2014, near-
ly half of the 21,022 passenger ve-
hicle occupants killed in crashes was
unrestrained, according to NHTSA.
During the nighttime hours of 6 pm to
05:59 am., that number increased to
57 percent of those killed.

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.
