The Hawk Eye A year after COVID-19 forced high schools and colleges to delay or alter their graduation ceremonies, the rites of passage are returning to a more traditional look this spring. Over the next several weeks, friends and families of this year s graduating seniors will gather at various venues to watch as their loved ones receive their diplomas. Some ceremonies will look much like they did in years past. Others will be similar to the graduations of 2020, when many were moved outside, delayed by months and seating was limited to allow for social distancing. For example, Burlington Notre Dame Catholic High School pushed back its graduation ceremony to mid-July and moved it from its usual location in the gymnasium to the football field. Attendance was limited to parents and grandparents. ....
The Hawk Eye The City of Burlington wants The Hawk Eye to pay nearly $700 for emails from City Manager Jim Ferneau and city councilman Matt Rinker. Included in the invoice are $300 in fees from the city s attorney to review the emails before they can be forwarded to The Hawk Eye.

In 2019, the city used Hesco barriers along the flood wall s north and south ends in an effort to protect the downtown area from the swollen Mississippi River. On June 1 of that year, after 80 days of holding back major flooding, the barriers to the south failed, causing the auditorium, Port of Burlington, post office and Front Street to become inundated with water. That shouldn t be an issue this year. ....
Bird said he s excited about the residential development going on downtown. He called it a unique opportunity for a town like Burlington.
The community currently has several buildings either being renovated, or yet to be built, that will provide downtown residences. Bird said he thinks younger people are looking for apartments downtown, near restaurants and shopping.
Bird said he believes the key to getting people to move downtown is embracing tourism as economic development.
