This is Betty Bellarussa with your 5 p.m. WARP-AM traffic report. Well, if you're on the roads listening to
this, you already know that traffic is pretty much a mess everywhere. On Interstate 7, it crawls from
downtown to the county line. Vehicles crossing the lake on State Route 50 are gridlocked both eastbound
and westbound, and the valley freeway is stop-and-go from Mayberry through Winwood. Highway 17 is
slow through the city, then clears out until Overpass Road. If that weren't bad enough, an injury accident is
blocking Main Street downtown, causing a 15-minute backup for cars waiting to get onto the freeway. This
has been Betty Bellarussa with your 5 p.m. WARP-AM traffic update. Our next traffic report will be at the
bottom of the hour.

Hi, Dori Madson here, host of the KORG-FM afternoon show. My dog, Spot, loves to run. The trouble
is, she was always running out of our yard into the neighbors' yards. Once, she even ran into the
street and nearly got hit by a car! That's when I called my friends at InvisiFence. They came right
over, explained their program, and within a couple of hours had erected an invisible barrier around
our yard that keeps Spot on our property just like a real fence would. Spot can now run happily
around our yard, and me and my family don't have to worry about her running away. She'll go right
to the edge of the yard, but won't go past it. The Invisifence process was smooth, quick, and
surprisingly affordable -- much cheaper than putting a real fence around my yard would have been.
If you're looking for an effective way to keep your dog on your property, call Invisifence now.
They're right here in town, at 789-9876. Or, check them out on the web at invisifence.com. Take it
from me, you'll be glad you did.
