MEDFORD, Ore.– Fat Irish kitchen & Pub owner, Jay Trost, said a step down is a major step forward for his Brookings business.
“It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it is. There’s a lot of exciting factors, the biggest excitement is probably the mental factor,” said Trost.
Both Curry and Lake county are moving to the state’s least restrictive- lower risk category Friday.
According to the Oregon Health Authority, counties at that level can have more people sit at the same table indoors, from 6 to 8.
Also, maximum outdoor capacity will double from 150 to 300 people, and closing time is pushed from 11 pm to midnight, big news for Trost.
MEDFORD, Ore.– Rebecca Moran is a mother of two high school students.
She told me today that she never thought she’d be spearheading Mae’s Hope. A support group for mentally distraught high school kids.
A mother’s own experiences leading her to reach out during this time of virtual learning.
I want my kids back in school,” said Moran. She said the mental health aspect of schools without socialization, is taking a toll on not only her children, but others as well.
“Its something we need to address, parents were not prepared for this.”
As Oregon Governor Kate Brown said, more importance is being placed on getting the vaccine to educators so kids can get back in school.
Half of the Talent Middle School student body got to come to school Monday.
They’ll attend in person on Monday and Thursday.
The other half will attend classes Tuesdays and Fridays.
“Our kids are certainly ready to be back here, its where they need to be,” said Vallier.
Getting back to school is great, he says, but staying in school is just as important.
Vallier says the success of the hybrid learning model is entirely dependent on a new home-screening initiative that the school is implementing.
“We want to keep school open, we want to make sure our families are safe, our teachers are safe and our kids are safe, and that all starts in the morning with the self screening.”
