The many layers of silent heroes

Dear Reader, We are now in the eye of the hurricane and there are many quiet heroes emerging. Immediately coming to mind are all of the healthcare workers, doctors, nurses and their administration staffs, EMTs and ambulance staff who are on the front lines conducting testing and alleviating the miseries of those afflicted with the C-virus. Besides the healthcare heroes, there are many unsung heroes working in retail such as stocking the shelves of supplies of groceries, etc., in all the stores offering essential goods during this time of great need. Additionally there are neighborhood heroes doing whatever they can to help their neighbors in need, whether getting them supplies, or taking out their garbage and recycling or leaving small bags of chocolate covered pretzels at their door steps to brighten up the day. It’s always darkest before dawn. And hopefully dawn will be here before we know it. In the meantime, stay safe and look out for any ways you can be one of the many heroes emerging as a by-product of this pandemic.

Providing continual service Governor Tony Evers’ office has declared this publication an “essential business.” Our staff will continue to provide coverage of local news and advertising online, as well as comprehensive weekly coverage in print during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

Riverlife park is rarely empty, but Tuesday afternoon despite warm temps the playground was deserted as people hunkered down to slow the spread of the Coronavirus. ►
