MAY 1, 2020, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A7 GRAD, continued from Page A1 ceremony, including speeches and diploma awards, will be planned. The decision about in-person graduations will be made by July 6 and shared publicly at that time. “I am so proud of our senior class representatives who sat down and had really honest conversations with me about their expectations,” said Superintendent Christy Perry. “Not only did they help our district leadership with the decision-making process, but they also exhibited just the kind of confi dence and understanding that will take them far in life.” Beginning next week, seniors can collect their caps and gowns and return any Chromebooks or textbooks. The handoffs are being scheduled at the schools and will adhere to social distancing guidelines. The date for McNary students to pick up their caps and gowns is Tuesday, May 7. There are more than 2,600 students in the Class of 2020. Approximately 1,900 of them completed the requirements to graduate when the emergency closure began on March 13. School representatives are working with the students who are credit-defi cient with individualized learning plans to earn credits for an on-time graduation.

There is also some question as to whether businesses that “voluntarily” reduced hours to cut expenses or taken other action falls under the “change- in-service” umbrella. Regardless, demand for the program had already exceeded the number of forgivable loans that will be made available. “We had 10 application within the fi rst hour and we’re up to 20, now,” said Brown on Tuesday, April 28. Because of the limited funding available, qualifying applications will be chosen at random. The names of applicants businesses will be put into a bucket and drawn from that, it’s the same bucket used to appoint city councilors when vacancies occur and the sitting counselors deadlock on a vote. Applications are due to the City of Keizer no later than May 7 with distribution of funds no later than May 21. The money to fund the loans is being received from Marion County through its Community Prosperity program, which is funded by Oregon Lottery revenues. Questions can be directed to the Community Development Department at 503-856-3441.

RETAIL: More effort, less income for some (Continued from Page A1) Fortunately, Dan’s Pawnshop is still operating under usual business hours and they haven’t had to let any of their employees go. “Our numbers are down a little, but when stuff gets back to normal, I think we will be okay,” Jenks said. One man that can’t wait for things to get back to normal is Tony Grove, owner of Tony’s Kingdom of Comics and Collectibles. The comic industry as a whole is currently in a world of hurt due to the coronavirus, especially since Diamond Comic Distributors — the company that supplies monthly comics to retail stores in the U.S. — announced that they were refusing to accept new content from the industry’s largest publishers, like Marvel and DC. “The coronavirus has had a domino effect on the entire industry. There will be a lot of Ma and Pa stores that won’t make it,” Grove said. Grove is running the store by himself and, although he is offering curbside service and orders via phone call or Facebook, his business is considered “non-essential,” so no patrons are allowed in the store. According to Grove, not being able to have customers in the store has been one of the biggest detriments to his business. “People like to come into my store to look and touch stuff. Now, that’s no longer an option,” Grove said. “I’m having to work four times harder for about 10 percent of the normal income I would get.” Although his store is in crisis mode right now, Grove is incredibly thankful to the people that have been coming to his shop for years. “The only reason I might survive is because of my loyal customers,” Grove said. 503.390.5222 CreeksideVetKeizer.com 113 McNary Estates Dr N, Suite B Next to Don Suklis State Farm Insurance to the scene and discovered nine ducklings that had fallen into the drain.
