Noem From Page 1 insurance, we prefer that these flu shots be for those individuals who don’t have another way to get them.” The shots will be available to anyone over six months of age. He said that there are 600 doses available for this clinic and that there is no obligation for anyone who is picking up food to get the shots. Pietila said that this is the first time the clinic has been added to a Food for Thought event. “It was an idea one of the medical students had,” he said. “There’s a big group of us — my- self, the Yankton Medical Clinic, Avera, Food for Thought, Feeding South Dakota, United Way, the Servant Hearts Clinic, the USD Medical School and Mount Marty Nursing School — (who have) gotten together for this project, and we just thought one of the best places to do a drive-thru would be at the Food for Thought distribution.” While flu season tends to herald an annual challenge for medical professionals, this year is much different as it will coincide with an unrelated global pan- demic for the first time in modern history. Pietila said that flu vaccina- tions are still critical, even if the response to the COVID-19 pan- demic may have actually helped to mitigate the spread of influenza elsewhere. “There’s a little bit of confu- sion out there,” he said. “The flu pandemic in the Southern Hemi- sphere has been low because of social distancing and mask wear- ing, so now people are like, ‘Well, maybe it’s not as important to get the flu shot this year.’ It’s very important each year. We don’t do a good enough job every year. We only get about 40% of our population vaccinated, and we need to increase that regardless of whether there’s a pandemic. … For a variety of reasons, our hospitals are going to be busier because of COVID-19. We don’t want to see a busy flu season.” He also stressed that the flu vaccine remains a safe option. “Flu vaccination is very safe and it’s very effective,” he said. “You cannot get the flu from a flu shot. It’s impossible. There’s no live virus in it.” Pietila said vaccinations will also be done at the Pathways Shelter for the Homeless, the Ban- quet and the River City Domestic Violence Center in the coming days.

A total of 156 people were reported in quarantine (-36), including 26 on campus (-2). Mount Marty University’s update late Monday showed 13 active cases (10 students, 3 staff), an increase of one from Friday. Here is a roundup of area South Dakota counties: • Bon Homme County — 1 new case (76 overall), 0 new hospitali- zations (7), 0 new recoveries (57), 18 active cases; • Charles Mix County — 3 new cases (143), 0 new hospitalizations (38), 0 new recoveries (122), 21 active cases; • Clay County — 2 new cases (537), 0 new hospitalizations (15), 1 new recovery (483), 49 active cases; • Douglas County — 2 new cases (64), 3 new hospitalizations (11), 0 new recoveries (39), 25 active cases; • Hutchinson County — 1 new case (74), 0 new hospitalizations (8), 2 new recoveries (55), 17 active cases; • Turner County — 4 new cases (141), 0 new hospitalizations (6), 2 new recoveries (103), 36 active cases; • Union County — 6 new cases (357), 0 new hospitalizations (25), 1 new recovery (300), 51 active cases; • Yankton County — 4 new cases (357), 0 new hospitalizations (16), 3 new recoveries (270), 83 active cases. Here are South Dakota statis- tics for Monday: • Total Cases — 18,869 (+173); • Active Cases — 2,890 (+47); • Recoveries — 15,777 (+126); • Hospitalizations — 1,297 ever hospitalized (+9); 161 currently hospitalized (-9); • Testing — 245,387 total tests (+1,109; test infection rate: 15.6%); 177,023 individuals tested (+670) In Nebraska, 286 new COVID-19 cases were reported by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) late Sunday. There were no new deaths re- ported (442 overall). Locally, Dixon County reported one new infection, its 84th. Other Nebraska statistics posted of the DHHS website of late Sunday included: • Total Cases — 41,083 (+286); • Active Cases — 10,132 (+286); • Recoveries — 30,509 (0 change); • Hospitalizations — 2,194 ever hospitalized (0 change); 170 currently hospitalized (-4); • Testing — 426,110 total tests (+2,457; test infection rate: 11.6%). COVID From Page 1 life, Maldonado said. “It’s complicated (moving far from home),” he said. “We had to adapt to new things and all the changes, but I think it gave us some strength for the future. Seeing our families here and classmates, to be done (with our degree), it’s so worth it.” Maldonado plans to remain in Yankton, describing the pause in plans as an opportunity. “I don’t know what exactly I’m going to do or how long I’ll stay in the U.S., but I’ll take advantage of it,” he said. “I’m a business administration major. I was going to New York, and I still have the chance, but I’m going to stick with Yankton for now. I think that’s the best choice for now.” For Gonzalez, graduation day was bittersweet. “I am very happy today, but I’m also sad because my family couldn’t come from Colombia,” he said. “I’m very pretty sure they can see social media pic- tures.” Gonzalez will remain at Mount Marty for now while he completes his master’s degree in educational leadership and works as a graduate assistant for the Lancer soccer team. Gonzalez holds no immediate plans for returning to Colombia. Rather, he wants to expand his global travels. For now, Yankton offers a safe place during the pandemic, espe- cially compared to other places, Gonzalez said. During Saturday’s commence- ment, featured speaker Sister Maribeth Wentzlaff, prioress at Sacred Heart Monastery, referred to those values of community felt by the international students. The masks worn during the graduation ceremony provided a message of taking care of your- self and others, much as MMU students and staff practice daily, she said. On the other hand, she pointed to times when a “mask” shouldn’t be used, such as fully showing your true self and who you have become, she added. “The world is calling upon you to be accessible and adapt- able, and you are able to take that distinction from Mount Marty,” she said. “The world needs your gifts and talents that only you can bring.” The weekend featured home- coming activities, the open house for the new Ruth Donohoe First Dakota Fieldhouse, a block party for MMU alumni, a run/walk fundraiser for the fieldhouse, an outdoor Mass and alumni awards and the play “I Hate Hamlet.” The weekend included one personal celebration, as Mount Marty alumni Tim Mudd of Kansas City, Kevin Nelson of Madison, Wisconsin, and Mary Ann Strubert of St. Louis visited long-time friend Sister Ann Kes- sler at Sacred Heart Monastery. The visit took on special signifi- cance as the Benedictine Sisters have remained in quarantine since March. Mudd and Nelson have held weekly Zoom sessions with Sister Ann, now in her 90s. They provided the nun with a tablet computer and have included various other persons in the 40-minute visits. “In addition to being my pro- fessor for a number of classes, for a lot of classes, Sister Ann was also my academic advisor and my unofficial mentor and third grandmother,” Mudd said. “We have stayed in touch. She’s one of the kindest, sweetest and smartest people I have ever met.” Mudd and Nelson had planned to visit Yankton last weekend and asked if it was possible to do something for the Sisters. At first, the idea was for alumni to stand outside and greet the nuns with signs and visits through the windows. Eventually, the effort became the personal visit involving just Sister Ann brought outside to meet the three alumni. For Mudd, the visit was heartwarming. “After seeing Sister Ann today, it’s going to be a nice 5½-hour drive home to Kansas City,” he said. “She has made my life better, and I hope I have made her life better. (Visiting her today) is the right thing to do.” Follow @RDockendorf on Twitter. MMU From Page 1

life, Maldonado said.“It’s complicated (moving far

from home),” he said. “We had to adapt to new things and all the changes, but I think it gave us some strength for the future. Seeing our families here and classmates, to be done (with our degree), it’s so worth it.”

Maldonado plans to remain in Yankton, describing the pause in plans as an opportunity.

“I don’t know what exactly I’m going to do or how long I’ll stay in the U.S., but I’ll take advantage of it,” he said. “I’m a business administration major. I was going to New York, and I still have the chance, but I’m going to stick with Yankton for now. I think that’s the best choice for now.”

For Gonzalez, graduation day was bittersweet.

“I am very happy today, but I’m also sad because my family couldn’t come from Colombia,” he said. “I’m very pretty sure they can see social media pic-tures.”

Gonzalez will remain at Mount Marty for now while he completes his master’s degree in educational leadership and works as a graduate assistant for the Lancer soccer team.

Gonzalez holds no immediate plans for returning to Colombia. Rather, he wants to expand his global travels.

For now, Yankton offers a safe

place during the pandemic, espe-cially compared to other places, Gonzalez said.

During Saturday’s commence-ment, featured speaker Sister Maribeth Wentzlaff, prioress at Sacred Heart Monastery, referred to those values of community felt by the international students. The masks worn during the graduation ceremony provided a message of taking care of your-self and others, much as MMU students and staff practice daily, she said.

On the other hand, she pointed to times when a “mask” shouldn’t be used, such as fully showing your true self and who you have become, she added.

“The world is calling upon you to be accessible and adapt-able, and you are able to take that distinction from Mount Marty,” she said. “The world needs your gifts and talents that only you can bring.”

The weekend featured home-coming activities, the open house for the new Ruth Donohoe First Dakota Fieldhouse, a block party for MMU alumni, a run/walk fundraiser for the fieldhouse, an outdoor Mass and alumni awards and the play “I Hate Hamlet.”

The weekend included one personal celebration, as Mount Marty alumni Tim Mudd of Kansas City, Kevin Nelson of Madison, Wisconsin, and Mary Ann Strubert of St. Louis visited long-time friend Sister Ann Kes-sler at Sacred Heart Monastery. The visit took on special signifi-cance as the Benedictine Sisters

have remained in quarantine since March.

Mudd and Nelson have held weekly Zoom sessions with Sister Ann, now in her 90s. They provided the nun with a tablet computer and have included various other persons in the 40-minute visits.

“In addition to being my pro-fessor for a number of classes, for a lot of classes, Sister Ann was also my academic advisor and my unofficial mentor and third grandmother,” Mudd said. “We have stayed in touch. She’s one of the kindest, sweetest and smartest people I have ever met.”

Mudd and Nelson had planned to visit Yankton last weekend and asked if it was possible to do something for the Sisters. At first, the idea was for alumni to stand outside and greet the nuns with signs and visits through the windows. Eventually, the effort became the personal visit involving just Sister Ann brought outside to meet the three alumni.

For Mudd, the visit was heartwarming.

“After seeing Sister Ann today, it’s going to be a nice 5½-hour drive home to Kansas City,” he said. “She has made my life better, and I hope I have made her life better. (Visiting her today) is the right thing to do.”
