2A | AUGUST 19, 2021 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record U.S. Air Force Band cancels concert Due to the increase in COVID-19 variant cases, the Aug. 25 concert of the U.S. Air Force Band of the Golden West in Cottage Grove has been canceled. The Department of De- fense has established mask requirements for indoors and other restrictions to help prevent cases among the troops. The U.S. Air Force has canceled or postponed all California and Oregon performances of the USAF Band of the Golden West. It is hoped the third scheduling will be success- ful as continuing contact with the USAF Band of the Golden West officials will secure a concert resched- uled in the community. Oakridge evacuation notices downgraded to Level 1 On Aug. 16, the Level 2 “Be Set” evacuation notice for the Oakridge area was downgraded to the Level 1 “Be Ready” status regard- ing the Kwis Fire. The fire is roughly two miles east of Oakridge and is part of the larger Mid- dle Fork Complex of fires being fought in the area. The following areas are being reduced to a Level 1 “Be Ready” evacuation notice: High Prairie, Fish Hatchery, Oakridge north of Roberts Road, and Oakridge east of Salmon Creek. This means that the Oakridge / Westfir com- munity is all at a Level 1 evacuation level. An evacuation map is available at www.Lane- CountyOR.gov/Middle- ForkComplex. Level 1 means you should continue to be aware of the danger that exists in your area, mon- itor local media outlets and telephone devices to receive further informa- tion. Residents should also continue to prepare for the precautionary move- ment of persons with spe- cial needs, mobile prop- erty, pets and livestock should conditions worsen. If conditions worsen, public safety personnel will make contact again using the emergency noti- fication system. More information is available at www.Lane- CountyOR.gov/Middle- ForkComplex.
