Burris, who is also the
director of the educational
nonprofit Oregon Institute
for A Better Way, recently
founded her organization
called Community Sys-
tem Navigators in order
to help businesses work
through this process.
Burris’ background is in
grant writing and business
strategy in the agriculture
sector, but she said she
felt compelled to become
involved in the RRF pro-
gram following her experi-
ence with the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (CARES) Act
last year.
“Oregon was an ex-
cellent example during
the pandemic,” she said.
“When food security was
a struggle and a problem,
there was barely a hiccup
from farm to consumer.”
Burris hopes to simi-
larly grease the skids in
the current program and
has noticed that restau-
rant owners’ hesitancy
to engage a complicated
process might be one hin-
derance.
“My goal is to get … ev-
ery one of them to register
and attempt to apply,” she
said.
The SBA states that
there are currently three
ways to apply for the RRF:
through a recognized
SBA Restaurant Partner;
through SBA directly at
restaurants.sba.gov; or by
phone at 844-279-8898.

FREE DIGITAL TELEVISION
South Lane
Television, Inc.
In the early days of television, most TV stations serving Oregon were located in Portland. And reception from Portland was
extremely poor in Cottage Grove.
With the hopes of devising a plan for better reception, a group of local television enthusiasts met over coffee to discuss how
members of the community could develop a system that would provide better TV pictures in Cottage Grove. What
emerged was a community non-profit they organized in 1957 as South Lane Television, Inc.
The new SLTV Board set out to raise money for an engineering study that determined Hansen Butte, located a mile south-
east of Cottage Grove, was the ideal point to receive TV signals and translate those signals to new channels that could be
easily picked up in and around Cottage Grove. A successful fund drive followed and the fledgling board was able to
purchase the necessary equipment to put the first three stations on the air.
Over the years, SLTV has steadily improved and expanded its service. Today, the Cottage Grove system has grown to 36
channels, the London Springs system now has 14 channels, and Dorena/Culp Creek now has 8 channels – making South
Lane Television one of the largest and most technically advanced translator operations in the Country. The best part is that
the service is absolutely free! All viewers need is an antenna. In town, a good (never the cheapest!), indoor antenna may
work fine, but for the best performance, a good outdoor antenna is recommended. For more challenged reception areas
you may need an amplified set-top antenna or outdoor antenna. But once you have your antenna hooked up, the free TV
just keeps on coming! The cost savings compared to cable or satellite services often amounts to more than $1,000 a year!
South Lane Television and its volunteer board has been with you for over six decades and is always watching for new ways
to improve our service to the community.
These messages are brought to you as a public service by South Lane Television. Our goal is to continue serving the community with the
highest quality free television service possible.
