GOOD.
GOOD. THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US AT 10:00 TONIGHT. I'M LISA GOLDSMITH. MAYOR FRANK
SCOTT IS RELAXING THE CURFEW IN
LITTLE ROCK AND IT'S HELPING
RESTAURANTS GET BACK ON THEIR
FEET. THC LEVELS. MELISSA
ZYGOWICZ IS LITTLE ROCK TONIGHT
WHERE BUSINESS OWNERS ARE
GETTING READY FOR THE CURFEW
CHANGE. MELISSA YEAH. AT LEAST
UP UNTIL YESTERDAY THAT CURFEW
STARTED AT 9:00 P.M. LIMITING
THE AMOUNT OF HOURS RESTAURANTS
COULD BE OPEN FOR CURBSIDE.
TODAY THAT CURFEW STARTS AT
MIDNIGHT. AND THE OWNER OF
BRUSCHI TELLS ME THIS IS A GAME
CHANGER GONE AHEAD TO QUICKLY
ADAPT. LIKE WE'VE HAD TO DO THE
PAST COUPLE MONTHS. BRAD MCCRAE
IS THE OWNER OF BRUCE KEYS IN
DOWNTOWN LITTLE ROCK. HE'S
GETTING READY TO OPEN UP ON MAY
11TH AFTER BEING CLOSED SINCE
MARCH BECAUSE WE'RE A TWO STORY
SPACE. WE KIND OF ARE ABLE TO
REALLY SPREAD THE TABLES OUT
BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL 9 P.M.
CURFEW. MCCRAY WAS PLANNING ON
ONLY OPENING UP FOR LIMITED
HOURS. NOW THAT THE CURFEW
STARTS AT MIDNIGHT, THIS ALLOWS
HIM TO GET HIS BUSINESS A
LITTLE MORE BACK TO NORMAL.
WE'LL BE UP UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY. IT
WILL ALSO ALLOW HIM TO GET MORE
CUSTOMERS IN THE DOOR. AND WHEN
YOU'RE OPERATING AT 33 PERCENT
OF YOUR OCCUPANCY, IF YOU COULD
STRETCH THOSE HOURS LONGER,
IT'S GOING TO HELP THE BUSINESS
GENERATE MORE CASH. WHAT WE
KNOW ABOUT RESTAURANT YEARS ARE
TAKING EXTRA PROTECTION TO GET
THEIR RESTAURANTS CLEAN AND
READY. MAYOR FRANK SCOTT JUNIOR
IS HOPING THIS NEW CURFEW WILL
GIVE RESTAURANT OWNERS MORE
TIME TO TAKE MORE ORDERS EITHER
CURBSIDE OR FOR IN-PERSON
DINING. THEY'VE ALWAYS GIVEN ME
A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
INFORMATION ON WHAT WE NEED TO
DO IS MOVE FORWARD. SINCE
IMPLEMENTING THE ORIGINAL 9
P.M. CURFEW IN MARCH, MAYOR
SCOTT SAYS LITTLE ROCK POLICE
HAVE GIVEN OUT VERY FEW
CITATIONS. THAT'S JUST A
TESTAMENT TO THE PRESENCE OF
THE ROCK. UNDERSTANDING THE
SERIOUSNESS, WHATEVER IT TOOK
TO SLOW THE COMMUNITY BREWSKI
IS WE'LL BE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A
WEEK LEAVING MCCRAY EXCITED TO
GET BACK TO BUSINESS NOW THAT
WE CAN KIND OF TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THOSE HOURS MAYBE 8, 9, 10
O'CLOCK AT NIGHT WHERE PEOPLE
WANT TO GET OUT WITH THEIR
FRIENDS AND YOU KNOW, GRAB A
TABLE AND GET SOME GET A BUCKET
OF BEERS AND A BURGER. WE'LL BE
HERE TO HELP THEM. NOW AGAIN,
THAT CURFEW GOES FROM MIDNIGHT
UNTIL 5:00 A.M. HERE IN LITTLE
ROCK. BUT MAYOR FRANK SCOTT
JUNIOR HOPES TO HAVE IT
COMPLETELY LIFTED BY MAY 21ST.
REPORTING LIVE FROM LITTLE
ROCK. MELISSA ZYGOWICZ TO BE

LOCATIONS. CHECK IT OUT HERE AS
YOU CAN SEE. TEMPERATURE FORTY
SEVEN RUSSELLVILLE FORTY SEVEN
HARRISON FORTY SIX IN NOW IDA
AND FORTY NINE IN LITTLE ROCK
WINDS. WE DID DEAL WITH THE
WIND THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THEY
ARE GOING CALM. HIGH PRESSURE
IS CENTERED RIGHT ACROSS THE
NATURAL STATE. SO WITH CALM
WINDS, CLEAR SKIES, THE
TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING ONCE
AGAIN ALREADY FORTY NINE IN
HARRISON SO SIXTY THREE IN HOT
SPRINGS BUT EVERYBODY WILL
START OFF THE DAY INTO THE MID
TO UPPER 40S ON THURSDAY. THE
TREND WILL BE FOR INCREASING
CLOUDS AND THE CHANCE OF SOME
SHOWERS ARRIVING LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
BUT THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN
HAPPENS TOMORROW NIGHT. I'LL
SHOW YOU HOW MUCH I'M EXPECTING
THE WEEKEND FORECAST COMING UP
.TODAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF
NATIONAL NURSES WEEK AT DHB.
ELEVEN IS JUMPING ON THE THANK
YOU TRAIN. OUR CRAIG O'NEILL
JOINS US LIVE TONIGHT FROM HIS
HOME WITH MORE. HI THERE, GREG.
HEY, LISA. YOU KNOW IT HAPPENS
EVERY YEAR. IT GOES TILL MARCH
THE 12TH, WHICH IS FLORENCE
NIGHTINGALE'S BIRTHDAY. BUT
THIS YEAR IT IS MORE DRAMATIC
THAN EVER BECAUSE OUR NURSES
ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE
PANDEMIC BATTLE AND TEACH V
ELEVENS OBSERVING NURSES WEEK
BY COORDINATING SOME FOOD
DONATIONS TO LOCAL HOSPITALS.
TONIGHT NURSES AND STAFF AT
BAPTIST HEALTH IN LITTLE ROCK
WERE TREATED TO FOOD FROM THE
FOLD MID-FLIGHT. MANAGER BRYAN
SAYS IT'S BEEN A LEARNING CURVE
FOR THEM TO NAVIGATE THIS
CRISIS BUT THEY'RE DOING IT
WITH PRIDE. I THINK DAYS HAVE
GOTTEN BETTER FORTUNATELY I
THINK ARKANSAS TODAY WASN'T AS
BAD AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN. SO
WITH THAT BEING SAID, I THINK
THAT MY STAFF HAS ADAPTED WELL
.IF YOU WANT TO GET BACK TO
ARKANSAS NURSES YOU CAN HELP
WITH MASS FOOD OR DONATING TO
AREA HOSPITALS. AND WE HAVE ALL
OF THAT INFORMATION ON TEACH ME
ELEVEN INCOME. WE'VE BEEN
ASKING FOR YOU TO SEND US
PICTURES AND STORIES ABOUT
NURSES IN YOUR LIFE AND WE'VE
RECEIVED SO MANY WONDERFUL
MESSAGES AND PHOTOS. WE WANT
YOU TO KEEP THEM COMING. JUST
TEXT THEM TO US ANYTIME AT 5 1
3 7 6 EVEN ELEVEN ELEVEN AND
AND ONE MORE THING. ONE MORE
THING. NURSES AND HEALTH CARE
WORKERS ARE JUST ONE OF THE
MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW THAT
THERE IS TO SMILE ABOUT. JOIN
US FRIDAY AT 630 RIGHT HERE ON
TS 311 FOR A 30 MINUTE SPECIAL
CALL REASONS TO SMILE. COMING
TO YOU FROM MY FRONT YARD. HOPE
YOU CAN MAKE IT. IN FACT I'M
SMILING ALREADY. KOBE, 19, HAS
TRULY SHAKEN UP THE WORLD. THE
VIRUS HAS RAISED QUESTIONS MANY
OF US NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT
LIKE IF DRY CLEANING YOUR
CLOTHES WILL BE ABLE TO KILL
THE VIRUS. TONIGHT WE VERIFY
THIS SIGN SITTING IN FRONT A
LITTLE ROCK DRY CLEANERS READS
YES WE ARE OPEN DRY CLEANING
CAN KILL VIRUSES. IT'S RAISED
PLENTY OF QUESTIONS BUT IS IT
TRUE LET'S VERIFY OUR SOURCES
ARE THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND THE CENTER FOR
DISEASE CONTROL. A SPOKESPERSON
AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TOLD
GHB 11 THE HEAT FROM PRESSING
STEAMING AND IRONING. THAT
HAPPENS AS PART OF THE DRY
CLEANING PROCESS IS GENERALLY A
RELIABLE METHOD TO KILL GERMS.
HOWEVER, THERE'S NO REASON TO
DRY CLEAN CLOTHES THAT DON'T
MEET DRY CLEANING. BASED ON
THEIR CARE INSTRUCTIONS,
REGULAR MACHINE WASHING OF
CLOTHES IS ADEQUATE AT KILLING
VIRUSES LIKE KOBE 19 ACCORDING
TO THE CDC WEB SITE. KOBE, 19,
IS PERSON TO PERSON IN CLOSE
CONTACT. BE A RESPIRATORY
DROPLETS WHEN IT COMES TO
ROUTINE CLEANING AND
DISINFECTING YOUR CLOTHES. THE
CDC RECOMMENDS YOU USE
DISPOSABLE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING
DIRTY LAUNDRY FROM AN ILL
PERSON TO MINIMIZE THE
POSSIBILITY OF DISPERSING THE
VIRUS THROUGH THE AIR. DO NOT
SHAKE. DIRTY LAUNDRY LAUNDER
ITEMS USING THE WARMEST WATER
SETTING IF POSSIBLE AND DRY THE
ITEMS COMPLETELY AND IT'S
IMPORTANT TO KNOW DIRTY LAUNDRY
FROM AN ILL PERSON CAN BE
WASHED WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S
ITEMS. IF THERE'S SOMETHING
YOU'D LIKE VERIFIED DURING THIS
KOBE 19 PANDEMIC LET US HELP
EMAIL US OR REACH OUT TO ME
DIRECTLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA NEW AT
10:00 TONIGHT MARKS SEVEN YEARS
SINCE A BOYFRIEND AND
GIRLFRIEND WERE MURDERED AND
THEIR LITTLE ROCK HOME AND
STILL NO ARREST AND NO ANSWERS
FOR THEIR FAMILIES EITHER. ON
MAY 6TH, 2013, BOBBY BROADWAY
AND NATASHA AVERY WERE FOUND
SHOT SEVERAL TIMES INSIDE THEIR
HOME ON WEST THIRTY THIRD
STREET. COLD CASE DETECTIVES
SAY WITH MULTIPLE GUNSHOTS
FIRED. SOMEONE MUST HAVE HEARD
SOMETHING THAT NIGHT. BUT YEARS
LATER THERE ARE STILL NO LEADS
.THE FAMILIES REACHED OUT TO
T.H. V ELEVEN TODAY ASKING ONCE
AGAIN FOR ANYONE WITH
INFORMATION THAT COULD HELP
SOLVE THIS CASE. TO CALL LITTLE
ROCK POLICE, YOU CAN REMAIN
ANONYMOUS. BIG NEWS TONIGHT IN
ELDORADO. MURPHY OIL ANNOUNCED
IT IS CLOSING ITS HEADQUARTERS
THERE AND MOVING TO HOUSTON,
TEXAS. THE INDEPENDENT OIL AND
NATURAL GAS EXPLORATION AND
PRODUCTION COMPANY SAYS THE
RECENT DROP IN CRUDE OIL PRICES
IS PARTLY TO BLAME. MURPHY OIL
HAS TRIED TO SAVE MONEY IN
OTHER WAYS BUT MUST CLOSE THE
ELDORADO LOCATION WHICH EMPLOYS
ABOUT 80 PEOPLE. IT'S ALSO
CLOSING AN OFFICE IN CANADA AND
CONSOLIDATING EVERYTHING TO
HOUSTON. THE RETURN OF
OUT-OF-STATE TRAVELERS TO
ARKANSAS IS WELCOMED NEWS IN
HOT SPRINGS. THE TOP TOURISM
DESTINATION IS ALREADY MAKING A
HUGE EXCUSE ME TAKING A HUGE
ECONOMIC HIT BUT THV11 ROLY
HOYT FOUND OUT THERE'S MORE TO
RE-OPENING THAN OUT THE WELCOME
MAT. BACK WHEN THE CRISIS
STARTED, TOURISM EXPERTS
PREDICTED BUSINESS WOULD BOUNCE
BACK QUICKLY HERE. BUT THAT WAS
ALSO BACK WHEN QUARANTINES WERE
ONLY SUPPOSED TO LAST A COUPLE
OF WEEKS. NOW THAT SOME
OUT-OF-STATE VISITORS ARE
ALLOWED TO RETURN, THEY'RE
BEING MORE CAUTIOUS WITH THEIR
RECOVERY PREDICTIONS. IT'S JUST
BEEN DEVASTATING SO FAR. SO SO
HOPEFULLY THE QUICKER WE COME
OUT OF IT THE BETTER OFF WE'LL
ALL BE. STEVE HARRISON OF THE
VISIT HOT SPRINGS BOARD IS
HOPEFUL THOSE BETTER TIMES
ARRIVE SOON. THE ECONOMIC COSTS
HAVE BEEN STEEP SO FAR BUT
VISITORS IN HOT SPRINGS USUALLY
SPEND OVER SIX HUNDRED THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS. I BET IT'LL BE
ABOUT 230 MILLION IF WE'RE
LUCKY. THE GOVERNOR'S LIFTING
OF THE BAN ON OUT-OF-STATE
TRAVELERS IS THE HOPE FOR START
OF A RECOVERY BUT IT ALSO
REQUIRES BALANCE. OUR HARDEST
HIT NEIGHBORS ARE LOW INFECTION
RATE AND MAY WANT TO GET AWAY.
BUT HARRISON IS LOOKING TOWARD
LATER STAGES TO TARGET THEM.
WHEN EVERYTHING'S OVERHEAD COME
ON IT'LL BE A GREAT PLACE TO
COME TO. JUST REMINDING THEM
THAT OUR SECOND STEP IS THE
LOCAL CAMPAIGN WHICH WE WON'T
START UNTIL OUR RESTAURANTS ARE
100 PERCENT OF BECAUSE TURNING
AWAY HUNGRY TOURISTS FROM
PARTIALLY FULL RESTAURANTS DOES
NOBODY ANY GOOD. THE OTHER DAY
TURNED TO TRAVEL. LOTS OF
THINGS ARE STILL CLOSED. IT
COULD BE A REAL SETBACK LATER.
THERE'S JUST NOT A WHOLE LOT TO
DO. IF YOU COME HERE AND I
THINK THE LAST THING I WANT TO
SEE IS OUR RESTAURANTS GETS
SLAMMED TO A POINT WHERE WE
CAN'T GO TO 100 PERCENT BECAUSE
THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT SOCIAL
DISTANCING. THERE'S NO WORD ON
THE NATIONAL PARK YET THAT WILL
HAVE TO COME FROM WASHINGTON.
OAKLAND'S CASINO IS STILL UP IN
THE AIR. THERE IS THE LAKE AND
THE NEW BIKE TRAILS AND AT
LEAST A LITTLE HOPE THAT HOTELS
FILL UP THE SUMMER HIGH SEASON.
WE'RE JUST EXCITED THAT WE'RE
TAKING STEPS TO GET REOPENED
AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE THERE
SOONER, NOT LATER. IN HOT
SPRINGS, ROLLY HOYT THC 11:00
NEWS IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
EARLIER TODAY. THE BULLDOG
FLIGHT FORMATION TEAM HAD A
REALLY COOL MISSION SEVEN
THOUSAND FEET ABOVE CENTRAL
ARKANSAS. CHECK THIS OUT. TEN
PLANES CREATED A GIANT HEART IN
THE SKY TO HONOR LOCAL HEALTH
CARE WORKERS AND FIRST
RESPONDERS. THANK YOU TO
EVERYONE WHO SPOTTED IT AND
DECKS IT AS A PICTURE FROM
LITTLE ROCK ALL THE WAY TO MORE
METAL INCLUDING OUR VERY OWN
SCOTT COLBERT AND HIS DOG
STORMY. HONORING LIFE EVEN IN
DEATH. A SPECIAL PROCESSION WAS
HELD TODAY FOR AN ARKANSAS
WORLD OR TWO VETERAN WHO PASSED
AWAY FROM COBE AT 19. OUR ALI
LYNCH SHOWS US HOW THE VETERAN
WAS HONORED. JAY DIED. SHE
STILL FOUGHT FOR THE WHOLE DAY
.THE WORLD WAR TWO VETERAN
FOUGHT IN MANY BATTLES DURING
HIS LIFETIME BUT NOTHING LIKE
THE ONE AGAINST COBURN 19. HE
WAS YOU SAID HE WAS TALKING TO
THE NURSE ABOUT BEING IN THE
NAVY THAT PARTICULAR NURSE HAD
BEEN IN THE NAVY ALSO AND HE
WAS I ASKED HIM HOW I FELT. HE
SAID FINE. AND THEN EVERY DAY
JUST GOT WORSE AND WORSE TO
WEAR THE LAST DAY. HE WAS
ALMOST JUST NONRESPONSIVE.
RAYMOND PENNINGTON SERVED IN
THE NAVY ON THE USS MCKENZIE
DURING WORLD WAR TWO. HE FELL
IN LOVE WITH NAPLES, ITALY
WHILE SERVING THE MEDITERRANEAN
AND KEPT A PICTURE OF MOUNT
VESUVIUS ON HIS WALL. HIS
DAUGHTER NANCY LIVES IN RHODE
ISLAND AND WASN'T ABLE TO BE
HERE FOR THE PROCESSION BUT
SAYS TODAY'S HONOR IS
ESPECIALLY POIGNANT BECAUSE HER
DAD'S MEMORIES OF SERVING HIS
COUNTRY WERE ALWAYS A SOURCE OF
PRIDE TO HIM. HE LOVED BEING IN
THE NAVY AND I DIDN'T REALIZE
UNTIL JUST THIS HOW FEW WORLD
WAR 2 VETERANS I GUESS WE WE
STILL HAVE THERE. SO HE. I
DON'T KNOW. I GUESS I DIDN'T
FULLY APPRECIATE HIS SERVICE.
THE VETERAN IS THE FOURTH
PERSON IN WASHINGTON COUNTY TO
PASS AWAY FROM THE VIRUS. HE
LIVED AT BROOKSTONE ASSISTED
LIVING COMMUNITY BEFORE BEING
TRANSFERRED TO THE V.A.
HOSPITAL. LIKE MANY WHO SUCCUMB
TO THE VIRUS, RAYMOND DIED
WITHOUT FAMILY AROUND THE V.A.
COVERT UNIT WAS AMAZING AND
THEY GAVE MY DAD GAVE US AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY GOODBYE TO
MY DAD . SEVERAL TIMES AND WE
FEEL LIKE IT WAS IT WAS ALMOST
IF WE WERE THERE. KNOWN FOR HIS
LOVE OF COUNTRY AND FAMILY.
RAYMOND PENNINGTON WILL ALWAYS
BE REMEMBERED
