AND INADEQUATE.
AND INADEQUATE. AND THE PEOPLE THAT THEY'VE
MOVED INTO QUARANTINE, THEY
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STAFF HERE
FOR THEM.
FOR THEM.
FOR THEM. AND SO I HEAR PEOPLE CRYING FOR
HELP AND THROUGH THE HALLWAY
ALL THE TIME.
>> THE COMPANY SAYS OTHERWISE
IN AN E-MAILED STATEMENT THEY
SAID SINCE OUR FIRST CASE
OF KOVEN 19 WE HAVE MAINTAINED
STAFFING SUPPORT AT OR ABOVE
REQUIRED LEVELS.
REQUIRED LEVELS. OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM HAS BEEN
ONSITE DAY AND NIGHT TO ENSURE
STAFF AND RESIDENTS ARE FULLY

IMPLEMENTED AS SOON AS WE HAD
POSITIVE TEST RESULTS DEALING
WITH THE CORONA VIRUS IN
NURSING HOMES.
NURSING HOMES. >> SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES
AND CONGREGATE SETTINGS HAS
BEEN TRICKY IN OREGON AND
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THIS IS A LIST OF THE ACTIVE
OUTBREAKS IN THE OREGON HEALTH
AUTHORITIES LATEST REPORT.
IT'S TRICKY BECAUSE PEOPLE
TYPICALLY ARE CLOSE TOGETHER,
ADVANCED IN AGE, HAVE
COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS OR
ALL OF THE ABOVE.
OREGON'S BIGGEST OUTBREAK
MONTHS IN THOSE SETTING SO FAR
WAS JULY WAS SIX HUNDRED AND
TWENTY EIGHT CASES AND AUGUST
WITH FIVE HUNDRED AND TWO CASES
SEPTEMBER'S NUMBER SO FAR AS A
RELATIVELY LOW 92 INCLUDING THE
GATEWAY CARE OUTBREAK.
>> OF COURSE EVEN ONE IS TOO
BIG A NUMBER FOR THE PERSON WHO
HAS IT IN THEIR FAMILY.
BUT SO FAR THE NUMBERS SEEM TO
SUGGEST THE FACILITIES ARE
GETTING BETTER AT KEEPING THE
VIRUS OUT.
VIRUS OUT. IN NORTHEAST PORTLAND, PAT
DOORIS KGW NEWS.
>> SO AT THE SAME TIME MORE
HELP COULD BE COMING TO
RESTAURANTS STRUGGLING DURING

DEVON HASKINS HAS A LOOK AT THE
EFFORT TO GET NEW PET OWNERS
AND NEW FINANCIAL RELIEF.
>> RESTAURANT OWNERS SAY
THEY'RE NOT MAKING ENOUGH TO
SURVIVE EVEN THOUGH YOU SEE
SEATS FILLED AT LIMITED
CAPACITY.
CAPACITY.
CAPACITY. OWNERS SAY IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
A RESTAURANT MAKES ABOUT 10
PERCENT PROFIT OF WHAT THEY
BRING IN.
BRING IN.
BRING IN. AND RIGHT NOW THAT'S NOT MUCH.
>> AND ON A DAY LIKE TODAY AND
A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT WE WOULD
NORMALLY DO A HUNDRED PLUS
GUESTS AND THE TRUTH IS LAST

FIFTEEN.
FIFTEEN.
FIFTEEN. PETER CHOE IS THE OWNER AND
OPERATOR OF HORNAK IN SOUTHEAST

NORTHEAST. I THINK THE IMPORTANCE
OF SAVING INDEPENDENT
RESTAURANTS IS SO MUCH BEYOND
REALLY JUST CHOICE OF WHERE
WE'RE GOING TO EAT DINNER.
>> REALLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO
IS THAT INDEPENDENT RESTAURANTS
IN AMERICA'S EMPLOY OVER 11
MILLION PEOPLE.
MILLION PEOPLE. >> CONGRESSMAN EARL BLUMENAUER
INTRODUCED LEGISLATION IN JUNE
TO PROVIDE A 120 BILLION
DOLLARS IN GRANTS TO
INDEPENDENT RESTAURANTS.
INDEPENDENT RESTAURANTS. >> IT'LL FOCUS ON WOMEN VETERAN
AND MINORITY OWNED THAT ARE NOT
CHAINS AND MAKE LESS THAN ONE
AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY.
ANNUALLY.
ANNUALLY. >> WE'VE SEEN TOO MANY
RESTAURANTS ALREADY CLOSED AND
THE EVIDENCE IS THAT IF THERE
ISN'T SOMETHING THAT IS DONE TO
PROVIDE SUPPORT WE COULD SEE UP
TO 85 PERCENT CLOSE PERMANENTLY
BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
>> THE MONEY COULD BE USED FOR
OPERATING COSTS LIKE PAYROLL
AND BILLS.
AND BILLS. THE GRANT WOULD HELP FILL THE
GAP FROM WHEN A RESTAURANT MADE
IN 2019 COMPARED TO 2020.
WHAT WE'RE CONCERNED WITH IS
BEING ABLE TO ALLOW THEM TO
STAY IN BUSINESS WHEN THEY
CAN'T OPERATE NORMALLY,
CONGRESSMAN BLUMENAUER SAYS.
>> BOTH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
TREASURY SECRETARY STEVE
MANOOGIAN WERE IN ON THE
MEETINGS TO HEAR THE STRUGGLES
IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY.
THE FIRST VOTE WOULD BE THIS
THURSDAY AND IT WOULD BE
INCLUDED IN THE NEXT CAUVIN

ASIDE FROM A BRUISED HIP, I'M
I'M ASTONISHED AT THE LEVELS
OF AGGRESSION.
OF AGGRESSION. >> HE IS ONE OF A NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WHO FEEL POLICE WERE
TOO AGGRESSIVE.
TOO AGGRESSIVE. >> IT WAS A FOCUSED,
DELIBERATE, VERY QUICK BUT VERY
DELIBERATE ATTACK ON A
JOURNALIST TO PREVENT HIM FROM
GETTING AN IMAGE OF WHAT WAS
GOING ON WHICH THE PUBLIC HAS A
RIGHT TO KNOW.
ANOTHER VIDEO FROM SATURDAY
NIGHT SHOWS A MAN DISPLAYING
HIS MIDDLE FINGER TO A POLICE
OFFICER.
OFFICER.
OFFICER. >> THAT'S WHEN HE GETS A FACE
FULL OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE
PEPPER SPRAY.
PEPPER SPRAY. ALL THIS PROMPTED GOV. KATE
BROWN TO TWEET OUT A STATEMENT
SAYING FREE SPEECH AND FREE
PRESS ARE TWO OF MY CORE VALUES
.
.
. I
. I TAKE
. I TAKE THE USE OF PHYSICAL
FORCE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS SERIOUSLY WHETHER IT
INVOLVES MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
OR THE MEDIA.
AND NOW THE ACLU OF OREGON IS
GETTING INVOLVED AND THAT'S WHY
WE MADE THE CALL ON GOVERNOR
BROWN TO USE HER AUTHORITY TO
APPOINT A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO
START INVESTIGATING THE
SIGNIFICANT SERIOUS IN REPEATED
ABUSES THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.
>> POLICE SAID ON SATURDAY THAT
DEMONSTRATORS WERE THROWING
OBJECTS AT THEM LIKE FULL
BEVERAGE CANS, FIRECRACKERS AND
ROCKS.

WARNED PEOPLE TO GET OUT OF THE

SWITCHING GEARS HERE, I WANT TO
SHOW YOU SOME NEW VIDEO AND NOW
IT'S JUST INTO OUR NEWSROOM AND
IT'S VIDEO OF OREGON GOVERNOR
KATE BROWN TOURING PARTS
OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY RAVAGED BY
MULTIPLE WILDFIRES, NAMELY THE
RIVERSIDE FIRE, THE UNGER FIRE
AND THE DOUTY FIRE.
AND THE GOVERNOR TOURED THE
DAMAGE ON THE GROUND AND IN THE
AIR AND WE'RE TOLD THAT SHE'S
DOING THIS ACROSS THE STATE TO
GIVE HER A BETTER IDEA OF HOW
TO BUILD A STATE WIDE
RECOVERY PLAN.
RECOVERY PLAN. SO FAR OFFICIALS SAY MORE THAN
A MILLION ACRES HAVE BURNED.
NEARLY TWENTY THREE HUNDRED
HOMES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED.
IN FACT, WE WERE ASKED TO BE
CAREFUL ABOUT SHOWING BUILDINGS
THAT HAVE BEEN BURNED BECAUSE
MANY HOMEOWNERS AREN'T AWARE
YET THAT THEIR HOUSES HAVE BEEN
DESTROYED.
DESTROYED. >> WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF IT?
IT'S ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING.
THE AMOUNT OF TIMBER THAT WE'VE
LOST IT COULD KEEP THE MILLS
GOING FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A REAL
CHALLENGE TO RECOVER FROM THIS
EXTENSIVE A FIRE AND THEN THE
OTHER THREE SMALL ONES.
BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE OREGON.
WE'RE TOUGH.
WE'RE TOUGH. WE'RE RESILIENT AND WE CAN MAKE
IT HAPPEN.
IT HAPPEN. THE RESPONSE IN A LOT OF WAYS
IS STARTING TO EBB.
WE HAD TREMENDOUS RESOURCES
COME IN FROM ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY TO HELP WITH THE
RESPONSE TO THE FIRES.
NOW WE HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW WE
RECOVER AND HOW HOPEFULLY WE
CAN MITIGATE FUTURE IMPACT FROM
DISASTERS LIKE WILDFIRES.
AND KEEP IN MIND THIS TO HER
HAPPENED WHILE THE RIVERSIDE
FIRE IS STILL BURNING.
WE'RE TOLD FIREFIGHTERS HAVE IT
ROUGHLY 34 PERCENT CONTAINED AT
THIS POINT.
THIS POINT. THEY'RE MAKING PROGRESS ON
OTHER FIRES AS WELL, INCLUDING
BEACHY CREEK FIRE IN MARION
COUNTY WHICH IS NOW 56 PERCENT
CONTAINED IN DETROIT.
OREGON HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS A
LOT LATELY.

BY THE BIJI CREEK FIRE.

WE FOLLOWED ALONG TO SEE WHAT
DETROIT LOOKS LIKE NOW.
THE BURNED TREES ALONG THE ROAD

A CLOSER LOOK DRIVING THROUGH

NEAR THE SHORE CHANGING A TIRE
IN A FIRE STORM.
EVERYTHING AFTER THAT WAS A
PIECE OF CAKE.
KRISTY ANDAM MCMORLAN TRAVELED
THROUGH DETROIT PRETTY OFTEN.
