Following other counties, the commissioners motioned to have a resolution drafted that points out concern with Gov. JB Pritzker’s stay-at-home order as well as encouraging a more regional approach to the orders.

It was one of the last issues addressed that Thursday evening. The motion was made that State’s Attorney Richard Ringhausen draft the resolution — a resolution similar to others that have been adopted in other counties like Adams County in their “Adams County Together” plan. The resolution has also been adopted in Pike County.

In drafting the resolution, the commissioners do not invite local businesses to reopen, should they come across potential licensing and liability issues.

But, Calhoun leaders are taking a stance with other counties in the region in voicing their concern to Pritzker that he needs to take a more regional approach than what he has adopted in his “Restore Illinois” plan.

A couple weeks ago, the governor issued an extension, of sorts, to his stayat-home order that included a requirement that masks should be worn in public areas where social distancing could not be maintained such as a grocery store. Since this order has been issued, Calhoun Sheriff Bill Heffington has expressed he is leaving it up to individual businesses to decide how they want to precede.

“I am letting the individual business-

es handle their own business,” he said.

He said he is not going to get in the business of “dictating” how local businesses wish to proceed.

“It is up to the individuals,” Heffington said.

For some stores, the rule did not affect much. Sarah Wilschetz, Red and White owner in Brussels, said their operations had not changed much since COVID-19 was first an issue. They are continuing curbside pickup, barring entry into the actual store for safety issues. Wilschetz explained it is a small store, and there was no effective and thorough way of cleaning behind each customer.

“We are keeping them healthy and us healthy,” Wilschetz said. “… We are keeping ourselves and others healthier this way.”

Other stores like Dollar General have allowed customers in to purchase items

whether they have a mask or not. The Calhoun News-Herald was unable to get an official comment on the store’s policy on the matter. There is, however, a sign notifying customers of the state rule, and employees continue to wear masks.

Currently, there has been only one positive case of COVID-19 in the county, who has since recovered, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.

Also in the meeting, the Downstate Small Business Stabilization Grant was addressed.

Karen Hanneken, who has been working with individuals around Calhoun during the application process, reported that one business in the county and three in Hardin have applied.

Hanneken later reported that interest in the grant was initially high, but there (See, COMMISSIONERS, A4)

Boat ramp to be constructed in Batchtown, replacing another

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) will be constructing a ramp at Turner Hollow Road in Batchtown near river mile 246.

This will serve as a replacement of the previous ramp at the location. Arthur Neal, civil engineer with IDNR, said the previous ramp was perpendicular to the flow, and boaters had trouble when trailering due to the current. The physical integrity of that ramp had also deteriorated, necessitating the project.

Work on the project was scheduled for a while, but was delayed because of the budget impasse but is now able to move forward. All of the work is covered by IDNR. Specifically, Neal said IDNR is funding this project using its own dedicated fund source and executing it through the Capital Development Board (CDB).

The overall ramp length will be 107 feet with (See, RAMP, A2)

Locals hang signs to honor Class of 2020

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald The school year is coming to a close, and for many high schoolers, it is cause for celebration — summer break has finally arrived. But for seniors, the glee of getting a break from school work has been soured this year by the realities of their final days as high schoolers.

On April 17, Gov. JB Pritzker announced schools would remain closed for the remainder of the school year, meaning the many traditions associated with students’ last days as seniors have been stripped from them. Those days walking the halls of their school in March were their last —at least as high schoolers.

However, Bonnie Snyders, a local photographer, was determined to make sure the end of their year went out on a high note.

Snyders with her son, Jake, Peggy Hall, Stacy Baalman and Sydney Baalman all hung pictures of the Calhoun and Brussels seniors across the county — ensuring their last year was recognized in some way.

“I had got several yard sign orders for graduating students, so I figured, to give back to the community for their support, I could give back by supporting the seniors from both Brussels and Calhoun,” Snyders said.

Snyders was inspired by a photographer she read about from North Dakota. In Wishek, N.D., a photographer had snapped photos of seniors, and made banners that were then displayed along a street in the city.

“I read this article, and from there, I knew instantly that this was something I could do for

the seniors,” Snyders said.

Snyders saw a need to give these seniors something after losing the back end of their last year.

“If I could give them their prom, final band concert, class trip, band trip, baseball and softball season, graduation award ceremony, graduation in a timely manner all back I totally would,” Sievers said.

“Any of us would.”

While this was out of her hands, Snyders saw an opportunity to do something, so she went to work.

“I immediately sent a mes-

sage to the mayors of Hardin and Brussels to get their permission before I moved forward and got a ‘yes’ immediately. Then, I sent a message to the principals of both Calhoun and Brussels and got their approval.”

She then went to Facebook calling for donations to help with the costs of the signs.

Less than 24 hours later, the money was raised with monetary donations from Rachel Maupin, Barb Ledder, Heidi Loyd-Doyle, the Brussels High (See, SIGNS, A2)

COVID-19 group made to streamline related information

By CONNOR ASHLOCK Calhoun News-Herald Calhoun residents now have another option by which to keep updated on all things going on around the county during the COVID-19 crisis.

Julie Kronable started up the Quarantined Calhoun Facebook group, a page of information that has garnered over 960 members since its inception, to help Calhoun residents stay updated on the status of businesses and organizations in the county while the pandemic continues to impact the Illinois economy.

“I started this page simply because I wanted to streamline information within the county,” Kronable said. “ When you get on Facebook, there are lots of ads and posts to wade through, so I created this page to bypass that hassle.”

Kronable, whose mother owns the Hardin Subway, remembered the troubles of the Flood of 2019 and how Facebook helped to keep the residents updated with streamlined information and thought the same principle could be applied during this time of quarantine.

“Anything important for Calhoun people to see is shared onto the page,” Kronable said. “Patrick Simon is also helping me out with it. There’s updates about local businesses, schools and general information about what the coronavirus is doing in our area. If anyone has any info that they need to get out there, I encourage them to share it on the page.”

The page is already making a positive impact on the county, which was Kronable’s intent all along.

“I was seeing what others were doing for the community right now, and I work in St. Louis, so I was wondering what I could do to participate, and that’s what drove me to create this page,” Kronable said. “Through this page, I’ve seen the supportiveness of people all throughout the county. People are reaching out to one another whenever others have problems, and I think it shows just how great our county is at helping one another.”

The page has been so beneficial to those who are on it that Kronable is even thinking about keeping the page going even after the pandemic has passed.

“It’s helpful to keep it going. Facebook is flooded with so much and for those who aren’t tech savvy this will help with the most recent updates in the county,” Kronable said. “I encourage people, if they see a post that hasn’t been shared on the page, to go ahead and share it.”

It’s been said before and it’ll be said again: folks in Calhoun just know how to take care of one another.

If they should ever forget, there’ll always be something to remind them. Usually it’s a flood, but now we know that the flood isn’t the only teacher of that important lesson.

OPINION

Hardin, Illinois

Pritzker's early prisioner release raises some issues

Outdoor Truths: Gary Miller

Racism in hunting community should be dealbreaker Immediately, I am reminded of a book in the Bible. It is only one chapter. It is the book of Jude. Its subject is concerning apostasy.

For my purposes here, I am not as concerned with the purpose of the book as much as I am with how it starts.

Jude writes this: “Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else.”

For me, I would say, “Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about my hunting trip. But now I find I must write about racism.” Yes racism.

It seems, for too long, we hunters have lived on the fringes when it comes to this subject. Many of us say we are not racist, but we also know many are. And it feels like, because of what we have in common (guns and hunting), we have not been as vocal as we needed to be for our black neighbors — many who also like to hunt.

Today is my day to take a stand. I am appalled by many of the recent incidents I have watched and even witnessed.

And it’s no longer good enough to only offer a mediocre gesture of support for the black community. For me, there are two types of hunters and fishermen – racist and not-racist. These two groups should have very little they do together. It should be a dividing line. It should be one question, if not the first question to ask, before we stand side by side, in support, on any other issue.

I will stand supporting my second amendment rights or my hunting rights with blacks, whites, gays, straights, city folk, rednecks, Republicans, Democrats, Christians, Mus-

Calhoun News-Herald

l i m s , Hindus, B u d dhists, Jews, atheists and even criminals.

But I will not stand beside someone who thinks their race was made in the image of God, but not another’s; and as a result, treats the other race inferior. If you are a hunter, a gun owner, and are a racist, I am not on your side. I am not in your fraternity. I am not one with you in anything.

If you are a racist, it is impossible to believe in the God of the Bible — a God who claims to have made all people in His image. Those made in His image have the same sweat and blood. I do not stand as a man of color; I stand as a man of image – God’s image. The same image he gave to every single human.

I am not a part of the white race. I am a part of the human race. I stand against racial pride, arrogance and hate. And just so you know, if the choice came between me standing with my gun or standing with my black brother against racism… well, I’ll let you figure out where I’ll be.

Enough is enough. Post it on your hunting lodge, on your truck, and talk about it often.

Let everyone know that just because you have a gun and camo, does not mean you’re on the same team.

By BILL HOAGLAND As of May 1, 2020, Gov. JB Pritzker had authorized the release of 4,035 prisoners from Illinois jails and prisons.

This is supposedly because of the COVID 19 pandemic. Many of the prisoners being released have had their sentences commuted, which means they will not be returned to prison for those offenses once the pandemic is over.

It is suggested by the governor’s office that this massive release of felons into society should not be of concern because the prisoners being released are for the most part nonviolent felons, and they do not present a risk to society. In other words, we are to believe that the ones being released are the “cream of the crop.”

To make us feel better, we are further told all releasees have been vetted by the Department of Corrections and that many were about to be released anyway. Until very recently, however, the governor’s office declined to tell us specifically the identities of the felons being released.

I have some concerns about this mandate, and maybe you do too. Certainly, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and some prosecutors have concerns, and they have said so.

Sure, I understand the pandemic is a driving force behind this action, but why has it been so difficult to find out the identities of the persons being released?

And are all of these persons being released truly “nonviolent” as suggested?

State Representative John Cabello was con-

cerned enough about this non-disclosure that he eventually filed a FOIA request asking for a complete list of the persons being released; as a result of his persistence, that list has finally been made public.

Earlier this week, I was able to see the list, which identifies each person being released, the date of release, a summary of all felonies for that person and the county of residence for that person. I would not describe everyone on that list as necessarily non-violent or harmless to society.

According to Cabello’s office, 47 of the 4,034 prisoners being released were serving sentences for murder.

I did not personally count the exact number of murderers on the list, but I did confirm that the list definitely includes prisoners convicted of murder, including two who are under 30 years of age and one of whom’s sentence was supposed to last until 2049. I also confirmed that some of the “non-violent” prisoners are habitual criminals and that many others had been specifically convicted of meth possession, two classes of criminals who usually are ongoing risks to society.

One habitual criminal on the list — with 34 aliases by the way — has been convicted of 24 separate felonies during his lifetime. It appears from his record that as soon as he is released, he is promptly arrested again for another felony—usually theft or burglary—but a felony just

the same. Maybe he really misses prison food, I don’t know.

The point is that it is highly likely that some of these releasees are going to be committing another felony soon. Here’s my question: during the pandemic, do these released prisoners get to stay out of prison so long as they insure that the new crime is “non-violent” and not a “risk to society”?

I understand the governor has a serious issue on his hands, and to some extent, he should be cut some slack on how he choses to deal with it, but here is something that cannot be justified. Until Representative Cabello filed his FOIA request, the governor and his staff were not voluntarily disclosing the names of the prisoners being released despite the fact that the releases began March 1 and have been continuing since then. Even if there were no law requiring disclosure of prisoners being released early, nondisclosure would be unfair to the numerous victims and witnesses who were previously testified in the prosecution of these felons.

These victims and witnesses deserve a heads-up that these felons are back on the street. As it turns out, both the Illinois Constitution and an Illinois statute

— the “Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act” — require that all victims and witnesses be promptly notified when a particular felon is released from his sentence; that requirement was ignored for the month and more that the governor and his staff refused to disclose the names of the persons being released early.

Maybe the governor feared that disclosure of information about the prisoner early release program might hurt him politically, I don’t know. But it would appear to be inexcusable.

“I could never have done this without the support of so many people that donated,” Snyders said.

From there, it was a matter of getting senior photos of the 14 Brussels and 22 Calhoun students. Many of the photos came from the parents, but a few did not have “senior” pictures. So, Snyder and Hannah Nelson, another local photographer, snapped some photos for them.

“I only had to take a pic-

ture of one student,” Synders said. “Hannah Nelson of Maple Hill Photography told me if I couldn’t get some pictures she would be happy to help out. So, there were two other students I couldn’t get a large file of to blow up and she took them for me.

It ended up being a blessing because those two students didn’t have any senior pictures, and she got them about 10 photos each.”

Snyders said Nelson’s efforts were not only appreciated for the contribution to the project but for their contribution to the students. She provided great “senior” pictures of some of the students “that they may or may not

The original schedule identified a bid date of April 30, 2020, but will be revised to comply with Pritzker’s stayat-home executive order. At this time, the exact bid date is unknown and will need to be established by CDB. When conditions are favorable, the county can expect to allow a 4 – 6 week construction window, following execution of a construction contract with a successful bidder.

have gotten the opportunity to get otherwise” for a “reasonable” price, Snyders said.

Snyders stressed the group effort necessary to make this idea a reality in Calhoun, noting that this was just something the community does.

“Calhoun County is a beautiful community that makes you want to give back when you can,” she said. “…

This is a time about our kids and any of us would do anything we could to help them at this time. I am just blessed I could do a little something for these kids with the help of many others.”

A timeframe for how long these signs might stay up has not been determined.

o matter how bad things are, they can usually be made better. How, you ask? By Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness. The acronym HOW is a nice reminder of how to get things on the right track. Because while things can get better, they can also get worse. By lying to ourselves (and others), by being close-minded, and by being unwilling to work through our problems we are on the road to disaster. On the other hand, honestly assessing our lives (and all of the problems that come with it), by being open to solutions and other ways of looking at things, and finally, by being willing to work at improving

our lives we can almost always make things better. Another way to look at this is that people can change for the better, but it takes the willingness to look openly and honestly at our faults, and to be willing to do the hard work necessary to change them.

The practical application of intelligent planning and goodwill can actually improve our lives and the world we live in. –Christopher Simon

CORRESPONDENCE/NEWS

WHAT'S GOING ON BETWEEN THE RIVERS Q Point News

by Carol Sue Carnes Q 618-883-2333

Mother’s Day was just not the same this year.

A few celebrated with masks and social distancing with a family get-together, others just decided to go for a ride, or in my instance, we did FaceTime with loved ones.

It did turn out to be a cold, windy day so I was content staying in.

Happy belated birthday to Cecilia Mueller of Hardin, who celebrated her birthday last Wednesday with a picnic at the Bill Horman Park. Her niece, Sarah Kinder of Brussels, brought what Cecilia had hinted for, pizza, along with an angel food birthday cake. Also joining them was Maggie Behrens of Godfrey. Many more happy and healthy ones, Cecilia!

My daughter, Cyndi Axford of Chesterfield, drove over Wednesday to visit with me.

She also brought a delicious lunch from A.J.’s, and we sat at opposite ends of my oval table to eat. The family had not been able to get together for my birthday in late March, and with Mother’s Day near, she wanted to bring over my gifts and visit awhile. She even brought a delicious lemon cake for dessert that she and MacKenzie had made.

Many thanks once again to her. I really enjoyed having someone to talk to and have lunch with. And also, thanks for all the wonderful gifts she brought and even some groceries items I needed.

Bob and Bonnie Held and Marie Held of Brussels and Eric Held of the Nashville, Tenn., area were Mother’s Day guests of Kyle and Kris Held in Alton. They all enjoyed dinner from Moonlight Restaurant and visited while following social distancing.

On Saturday, the Carnes family drove up from Edwardsville. Julie and Caleb spent the afternoon with her parents Francis and Liz Toppmeyer while John did the weekly mowing, trimming, etc. We enjoyed dinner and a nice visit that evening. Many thanks to the Carnes fam-

ily for my beautiful Mother’s Day gifts.

Barb Hagen received many Happy Mother’s Day calls from her daughters, Elaine Mans, Judy Devening and Jan Bick, and nephew Jason Hagen while son Dave Hagen stopped by to visit with her and Roy awhile. Such an unusual time with having to wear masks and social distancing.

This coming Saturday, May 16, please remember to turn in all the roadside trash you have collected. Time is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. Mary’s parking lot in Brussels or the County Highway Shed in Hardin.

Now that our roadsides look so nice please do not start littering again with cans, water bottles, fast food containers, etc. There has been a lot of bending and stooping to get it all cleaned up. Also, please be reminded if you are caught throwing trash out, there is a fine.

While my son was mowing last week, he had to use a bag to pick up latex gloves and even a face mask that had been disposed of. This perhaps was not someone local, but with this coronavirus pandemic, I thought that was very inconsiderate to do.

As shown on TV, people are coming out of stores and leaving their gloves and masks on the parking lot for others to clean up.

Also this Saturday, May 16, is Armed Forces Day. Each year, many nations around the world observe some kind of day to honor their military forces. In the U. S., it is celebrated as a day to recognize and appreciate all active duty men and women who are serving in the military at this time. The longest continuously running Armed Forces Day is held in Bremerton, Wash., where they celebrate the 72nd year on Saturday with a parade, air show, etc.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for all those who have sworn to defend out freedom. Continue to watch over them and keep them safe as they attempt to bring peace to a world where wars, and

rumors of war, are always in our midst. Give them courage to face the task at hand knowing that you are always with them. Amen.

Beginning Thursday, May 14, through Saturday, May 16, the South County Library, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., will be giving away an easy Spring Craft.

Please remember one per child. There will be a tub in front of the door with crafts in. Due to mandatory restrictions at this time, the library remains closed until further notice from the Illinois Heartland Library System. Now, in case of rain this Thursday, the event will begin the following Thursday, May 21 through May 23.

Deepest sympathy this week to the John Hartman family. John passed away unexpectedly at his home on May 4. Thoughts and prayers to his wife, Paulette, daughters Ann (Jeremy) Kirn and family and Carla Hartman and son Brian Hartman. John will be greatly missed, he was such a great guy, hard worker, always smiling and never met a stranger. Loved to talk to him and hear his stories whenever I had the chance.

Birthday blessings this week to my granddaughter, MacKenzie Axford, who is 18 and is in this year’s graduating class at Westminster Christian Academy in St. Louis. Also to Patricia Goetze, Jill Pikesley, Evelyn Nolte, Emma Camden, Patrick Ward, Hank Fortschneider, Natalie Weiner, Charles “Chipper” Burch and all others celebrating their natal day at this time.

Happy anniversary to Cliff and Yvonne Nolte, John and Linda Macauley, Bob and Bonnie Stepanek, Greg and Barb Kinder and all other couples celebrating an anniversary this week.

––––––––––––––––––– Thought for the day: All people have hope.

That’s what brings the next day and whatever that day may bring. Hope needs to be grounded in the real world, of living, friendship, work, family and above all God.

Commissioners (Continued from A1) were various reasons why there weren’t more applicants.

“There are many, many rules and the application is quite lengthy— around 54 pages, when it is finished,” Hanneken said.

Not all applicants qualified, and others weren’t comfortable reporting all the information that the application required.

Following the application process, each business must be given its own hearing before the applicant can be approved.

During the hearing process, some of the items of discussion will be how the grant award would benefit the local government, the applicant’s background and reason for applying (project summary) and the business’ budget detailing how the grant would be spent per line item.

Later in the meeting, Wanda Blackwell and Tony Franke with the Calhoun County Ambulance Service addressed the commissioners seeking a portion of the public safety tax money to be allocated for the service.

“We need help with supplies because a lot of the supply prices have been really increasing,” Blackwell said.

“The batteries for our cots, which cost $1,200 altogether to replace, are supposed to last us for only two years.

We’ve had ours for four years now. We have other supplies that are coming to the end of their lives as well that will have to be replaced, but we can’t rely on what we bring in now, so we’re trying to seek out other funds as much as we can.”

Blackwell warned that if the volunteer-led ambulance service was to close in the county, residents would have to rely on ambulance services from Jersey and Greene counties.

“We have a total of 5,089 people in the county and a total of 281 square miles to cover with three IDPHinspected ambulances, which we keep in the northern, central and southern ends of the county,” Blackwell said. “If our equipment is outdated during an inspection, we won’t be able to operate.”

Blackwell and Franke were adamant in the meeting that they didn’t want to approach the community during the pandemic asking for donations, but the situation is getting more serious as time

passes on.

“We can’t solely rely on memorials, donations and insurance on ambulance runs,” Blackwell said. “So, we’re trying to seek out other funds as much as we can.”

The commissioners expressed an eagerness to do anything that will keep the ambulance service functioning, but needed more time to weigh their options and the implications of those options, so they tabled the discussion for their next meeting.

––––––––––––––––––– My Visitor Today I saw a butterfly, The grass, the flowers, the trees; I heard my children’s happy laughs And felt a gentle breeze.

Today I held a new born babe And watched a bird in flight; I saw the moon and stars appear To welcome in the night.

I bowed my head in humble prayer At the joy of being free, And gave thanks for another day God chose to spend with me.

Eleanor Torchia Yours the day and Yours the night.

You are the sun and moon in place.

Q Kampsville News

by Diane Brangenberg Q 618-653-4520

The river is on the rise here in Kampsville and the road work on Route 100 continues.

The “Pavilion” continues to be busy, the “Landing” is also doing carry-outs on the weekend and work on the new business, Dick’s Riverside Grill, is progressing.

Last year at this time, we had few businesses opened because of the flood. This year, it’s the COVID-19. We are a small town and with no tax revenue coming in. That makes it very hard to function so please support your local businesses.

Tickets for the American Legion Auxiliary Raffles can be purchased from any auxiliary member. The raffle has been moved back until Veterans Day. Our auxiliary does such wonderful work in the community please help show your support for them.

St. John’s Lutheran church

was able to have a small church service on Sunday under restrictions. But it was very nice to see church services resuming even if it’s not back to normal just yet.

I am loving the Calhoun hero signs in all the yards of the employees of Unit 40.

McCully’s Heritage Project has a beautiful new sign that can be seen when driving up route 100 heading to Kampsville.

Kierra Meza was treated with a birthday parade in honor of her 16th birthday.

The Calhoun Unit 40 held their 2020 Senior Banquet on May 7. This was done virtually and students and parents watched as the faculty presented the awards. They were also served a delicious chicken dinner.

Calhoun High School has their football renovations going on. They are currently doing an aluminum can drive that runs May 11-22. By the Calhoun Superintendents Office, there will be a container from Maws Salvage there. Please try to support this worthwhile cause.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day. Please send some news my way.

Please continue prayers for Linda Herkert, Bill Schumann, Kurt Roth, Jim Hill, Joe Gress, Darren Kress, Cindy Smith, Eileen Gardner, Luanne Baalman and Cathy Taul.

Calhoun High School seniors honored in virtual banquet

By JARAD JARMON Calhoun News-Herald Social distancing guidelines have made celebrating in any facet a struggle.

This goes, too, for one of the bigger nights for the seniors ending their high school career: the Calhoun Senior Banquet. It is a night where school leaders and staff can celebrate their senior students’ accomplishments. This year, under current health safety rules, an event like this could not be hosted, at least in the traditional sense.

Thanks to some creativity from those at the high school, these students still had their night — albeit with a virtual twist. The students got to watch their banquet from home through three videos on the

Calhoun Unit 40 website showing their accomplishments and how much these seniors have grown since they were little, all of which Nathan Bloodworth, high school math teacher and website coordinator, directed (unless viewers did not like it, as the credits jokingly suggest).

A banquet — virtual or not — is not a banquet, though, without a meal, and in the spirit of senior banquets of the past, seniors got to pick up meals at the Hardin Drive-In. There, students also had the chance to visit, from a distance, with some teachers and other students they may not have seen since March when they picked up their food.

Later that evening, the videos were uploaded to the Calhoun 40 website. The series of videos kicked

Sign of the times St. Mary’s student Logan Tepen is all smiles holding up the personalized sign marking his eighth-grade year. Students did not have the normal avenues to celebrate their final year in middle school because of COVID-19. Last week, the eight eighth-graders at St. Mary’s School in Brussels were given a sign as a way to commemorate this milestone.

off with a message from Kate Sievers, Calhoun Superintendent.

“If you will entertain me for a minute and think of the positives that we can think of during this time, you might have a different perspective on COVID-19,” Sievers said. “During this time, we have been able to spend some quality family time together, and obviously this had increased. Families are not finding themselves coming and going, and moms and dads don’t find themselves trying to get to three events instead of one.”

Sievers stressed to students and families to look at the little blessings that could be discerned out of such a difficult time. This has made everyone stop and reassess our priorities, she said.

“Enjoy this time together, because eventually, we will be back to our crazy busy lives again,” Sievers said. “So embrace all of the positives you can see, and embrace the ones you love.”

“I hope these four years of high school have helped you prepare for the real world and for college,” she also said.

The video continued with “Senior Superlatives,” yearbooklike awards such as “most unforgettable” or “most athletic,” all to the tune of “Don’t You (Forget About Me),” by Simple Minds.

Then on to the awards the virtual banquet continued. The awards included: Q John Philip Sousa Band Award — Ethan Schobernd.

Q English Award — Andrei Carmody and Alyssa LaMarsh.

Q Accounting Award — Hope Wilschetz.

Q Web Design Award — Emma Green.

Videos of the announcements were uploaded to the high school website, and seniors were given meals they would have normally had at the banquet — this time enjoyed in the comfort of their homes. This was an avenue school leaders used to celebrate the students while also adhering to social distancing guidelines.

“The class of 2020 is small, but mighty,” she added.
