OCTOBER SIX. WE WERE FURLOUGHED.
SHE AND OTHER CLASSIFIED STAFF

BUT INGEBRAND SAYS SHE'S
FORTUNATE WITH A HUSBAND WHO IS
ABLE TO WORK.
SHE SAYS THE FURLOUGH HAS PUT
OTHER PARAEDUCATORS IN WORSE
SITUATIONS.

DEGREES. SHE SAYS THE DISTRICT HAS ABOUT
34 MILLION DOLLARS SAVED UP AND
THAT MONEY COULD HAVE HELPED
KEEP CLASSIFIED STAFF WORKING.

ABOUT IT. A SPOKESPERSON SAID MOST
OF THAT MONEY WAS ALREADY
EARMARKED TO GO ELSEWHERE.
>> NOW BECAUSE OF PAICE
SCHEDULING THOSE FURLOUGHED
EMPLOYEES WON'T SEE A PAYCHECK
UNTIL LATE FEBRUARY AND THEY
CAN'T COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT NEXT
MONTH EITHER BECAUSE THEY'LL BE
WORKING TOUGH SITUATION RIGHT
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. >>
NOW. >> LET'S GET TO THREE THINGS TO
KNOW ABOUT CAUVIN NUMBER ONE.
THERE'S BEEN ANOTHER DEATH IN
OREGON'S DEPARTMENT
OREGON'S DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.
OF CORRECTIONS. AN INMATE WHO TESTED POSITIVE
DIED IN THE STATE PENITENTIARY
IN SALEM.
IN SALEM.
IN SALEM. HE'S THE 21ST ADULT IN CUSTODY
TO DIE OF CORONA VIRUS.
WORKERS AT THE DEPARTMENT
OF CORRECTIONS JUST STARTED
GETTING VACCINATED YESTERDAY.
NUMBER TWO, THE CDC RELEASED
NEW VACCINATION GUIDELINES FOR
ADULTS WITH UNDERLYING HEALTH
CONDITIONS.
CONDITIONS. IT SAYS THEY CAN GET A SHOT
WHENEVER IT'S AVAILABLE IF THEY
DON'T HAVE A HISTORY OF SEVERE
ALLERGIC REACTION TO ANY OF THE
VACCINES INGREDIENTS.
VACCINES INGREDIENTS. PEOPLE WITH WEAKENED IMMUNE
SYSTEMS OR THOSE WITH AUTO
IMMUNE DISORDERS CAN ALSO GET
THE SHOT.
THE SHOT.
THE SHOT. BUT THEY DO NEED TO REMEMBER IT
HASN'T BEEN TESTED ON PATIENTS
WITH THOSE CONDITIONS.
AND NUMBER THREE, A NEW STUDY
SHOWS KIDS ARE MORE LIKELY TO
GET CORONA VIRUS AT A SOCIAL
GATHERING THAN IN A CLASSROOM.
THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI
MEDICAL CENTER CONDUCTED THE
STUDY ON PATIENTS UNDER 18.
THE KIDS WHO TESTED POSITIVE
FOR KOFOD WERE MORE LIKELY TO
HAVE ATTENDED SOCIAL GATHERINGS
OR HAVE VISITORS AT HOME AND
THOSE ARE THREE THINGS TO KNOW
ABOUT CAUVIN RIGHT NOW.
NEW DETAILS NOW ABOUT THE
DEADLY SHOOTING AT PEACEHEALTH
MEDICAL IN VANCOUVER LAST WEEK.
HERE'S WHAT WE'RE LEARNING FROM
COURT DOCUMENTS OBTAINED BY THE
COLUMBIA NEWSPAPER.
COLUMBIA NEWSPAPER. THEY REVEALED THE SHOOTER, 58
YEAR OLD DOUGLAS MOORE SHOWED
UP HOURS EARLY FOR AN
APPOINTMENT AND THEN GOT UPSET
WHEN HE COULDN'T BE SEEN UNTIL
HIS APPOINTMENT TIME.
INVESTIGATORS SAY HE LEFT THE
BUILDING THEN RETURNED A FEW
MINUTES LATER ARMED.
HE SHOT AND KILLED A 20 YEAR
OLD WOMAN WORKING IN THE LOBBY
BEFORE FATALLY SHOOTING
HIMSELF.
HIMSELF.
HIMSELF. THE MAN ACCUSED OF ASSAULTING
TWO REPORTERS DURING A PROTEST
AT THE OREGON STATE CAPITAL HAS
TURNED HIMSELF IN.
POLICE SAY JEREMY ROBERTS TRIED
TO FORCE HIS WAY INTO THE
BUILDING DURING LAST WEEK'S
SPECIAL SESSION.
SPECIAL SESSION. THE CROWD OUTSIDE WAS
PROTECTING THE STATE'S
COVERED A PROTEST SAYING THE
STATES COVERED RESTRICTIONS.
IN ADDITION TO ROBERTS, POLICE
MADE FOUR ARRESTS.
OKAY, YOU GUYS, IF YOU LOVE IN
AND OUT BURGER YOU WILL LOVE TO
HEAR THIS.
HEAR THIS. THE RESTAURANT CHAIN MAY OPEN
SEVERAL LOCATIONS HERE IN THE
PORTLAND METRO AREA.
YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN EYEING THAT
ONE SPOT ON BEAVERTON HILLSDALE
HIGHWAY.
HIGHWAY.
HIGHWAY. BUT DURING A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY
MEETING LAST NIGHT IN AND OUT
SAID IT'S LOOKING AT OTHER
LOCATIONS TO REP SAY OPENING
SEVERAL RESTAURANTS AT ONCE
COULD ALLEVIATE THE LONG LINES
AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION AT ANY
ONE LOCATION.
ONE LOCATION. >> NOW LET'S TAKE YOU UP INTO
THE CASCADES.
THE CASCADES. HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT
TIMBERLINE LODGE TO THE LEFT

GO. >>
GO. >> IT'S KIND OF OUR ONE BIG
ESCAPE.
ESCAPE.
ESCAPE. >> I TELL YOU WHAT RIDING THE

LIFT. SEEING THAT BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN
JUST BEING INSPIRED BY IT AND
THEN SEEING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
ABLE TO ENJOY AND RICH ENRICH
THEMSELVES AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE
HERE AND WE NEED TO SPREAD
PEOPLE OUT.
PEOPLE OUT. YOU KNOW, EVEN WHEN PEOPLE ARE
STANDING IN A LIFELINE, THEIR
RESPECT EACH OTHER'S SPREADING
OUT OR IN THEIR MASKS COVERING
THEIR NOSES, I FEEL LIKE
THERE'S LIKE A MORE OF A SENSE
OF COMMUNITY.
OF COMMUNITY. I THINK PEOPLE ARE JUST HAPPY
TO BE HERE AND LIKE WILLING TO
WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP IT SAFE
WHICH IS REALLY COOL.
>> I HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING
OUT HERE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
YOU KNOW HOW TO SKI.
