My son Cassidy Michael

old the other day.
He’s a fine young man
and good son.
He’s turning into more of
an independent boy every
day and he loves to learn
about the world around
him.
Right now that world
consists of him learning to
read and write, do some art
work, build interacting and
exchangeable Lego proj-
ects and continue to study
the subtle nuances of sev-

SIX
He likes to wrestle with
his daddy every day, and,
as he is a very fast boy it
comes as no surprise that
he outruns his daddy in
our daily race back from
the mailbox.
He nurtures his three
cats and tries to impress
' his mommy with cleaning
his room and the general
tidiness he sometimes
tiates on his own.
He likes to stand on
the front porch with his
mother and I, and watch
the power of Mother Na-
ture when She unleashes
it. He is particularly fond of
watching thunderstorms I
and the harder it rains, the
more he dances in it.
He has a sharp sense of
humor, a beautiful laugh
and he laughs often.
He is brave boy and will
catch spiders and put them
outside when they scare
his mommy, but he tries
to be careful not to harm
them in the process as his
mother has instilled in him
the value of life for all crea-
tures.
Amber and I make it a
point to tell him every day
that we are proud of his ac-
complishments.

He understands that he
is officially a big boy now
and takes pride in his abili-
ty to wear his mask as long
as needed.
Big boys eat big boy food
and he has been receptive
to trying all kinds of new
foods to make him bigger
and stronger.
He’s growing like a
weed.
Cassidy is starting his
formal education this year
and my heart goes out to
all parents-with children
who strive to give their
kids the best in the midst
of a pandemic.
Science is real, and real-
ity doesn’t cease to exist
just because some of us
chose to ignore it. Covid
is deadly, and though we
all wish it would simply go
away, it probably won’t any-
time soon.
As of Saturday, there
were 32 students who had
active Covid and six staff
members across the dis-
trict who also had active
Covid cases. other stu-
dents and staff are in the
“recovered” category, ac-
cording to the school dis-
trict’s information.
There were 118 active

cases total of Covid in the
community on Friday ac-
cording to the health de-
partment, which also re-
ports deaths (three of
those are pending review).
Almost people in our
little community are no
more because of Covid,
and if you chose to water
that sorrowful number
down by chalking up any of
those deaths to ‘underlying
issues’ well, I don’t think
you are doing any justiCe
to the truth. ,,
If Covid wasn’t here,
they still would be. ’
Cassidy is oblivious to
most of this, but he is start
ing to understand more
than we are comfortable
admitting, and a lot of chil4
dren in our community are
learning more than what’s
in the books and written
on the chalkboards and
presented to them during a
zoom meeting.
