Heading southbound on S.R. A1A this week? If so, expect lane closures.

The city of Ormond Beach announced on its website that, as a result of the Florida Department of Transportation working on A1A intersection improvements at Cardinal Drive and Harvard Drive, westbound Harvard Drive will be closed on Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. This will allow FDOT’s contractor, Chinchor

Electric Inc., to place drilled shafts as part of the mast arm traffic signal installation.

The $1.2 million project is meant to provide traffic signal upgrades for the intersections at Cardinal Drive and A1A, as well as Harvard Drive and A1A. It will also include pedestrian lighting, pedestrian signal upgrades, roadway resurfacing, curb ramp and sidewalk upgrades, as well as drainage

improvements, new signing and pavement markings and ADA improvements, according to the project file.

FDOT estimates the project will be completed this summer.

Due to the lane closures, detour routes will be marked.

In a Facebook post, the Ormond Beach Police Department asked residents avoid the area if possible.

Volusia County opened a Citizens Information Center on Thursday, April 2, to help answer general questions regarding COVID-19 in the county. Residents can call 866-345-0345 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

All health-related questions should still be directed to the Florida Department of Health Call Center at 1-866-779-6121.

At the County Council meeting on Tuesday, April 7, Emergency Management Director Jim Judge said they have received about 60 calls a day.

A

s Volusia County Schools dives into the second week of distance learning, local high school principals stressed one point: Students should stay on a schedule.

Mainland High School Principal Tim Huth and Seabreeze High School Principal Joseph Rawlings both said the initial rollout of the online education plan — which uses platforms such as Canvas and Edgenuity — has been successful, minus a few access issues the first couple of days. Now, students and staff continue to adjust to this fully virtual way of learning.

“Education is going on,” Huth said. “Instruction is being delivered, and we have been working

with the teachers to assist in any way we can with their lessons for the rest of this month, all the way up to the 30th.”

Both schools distributed laptops on Tuesday, April 7.

Huth said some students, especially those who learn better through hands-on methods might find this online instruction challenging, but added that teachers are taking that into consideration and are willing to help.

In contrast, there are students who only need to read or hear a concept once before grasping it entirely.

“As we’re moving through this first week, we’re learning how we need to pace ourselves with all of our students,” Huth said.

Rawlings said many of his students are accustomed to using technology in their classes, since close to half of the teachers delivered instruction through Canvas before the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, being at home, students may struggle with procrastination and self-motivation, he said.

“School is still going on,” Rawl-

ings said. “It’s just in a different way now.”

DON’T PROCRASTINATE

A science teacher at Seabreeze, who preferred his name not be used, said as of Monday morning, he had connected with 102 of his 161 students. His class used Canvas before the schools shut down because of the pandemic, and he said online work has always been tough with some of his students.

They have a tendency to procrastinate and then do all the work in a couple of all-nighters.

Students can’t do that with distance learning, he said.

“They’re going to have a backlog that might be insurmountable,” he said.

The teacher said parents should make sure their children are going online, and then encourage them to reach out to their friends to do the same. These grades will matter. He’s worried about the students who haven’t connected yet.

“They’re just treating this as another crazy disruption to the

The school has about 1,500 students.

About 10% of students are in need of technology for distance learning.

120 parents picked up paper packets for their children last week.

COVID-19 might have closed schools, but local principals say education is still happening.

academic year, so they don’t see that this is an assignment that’s going to be banked,” he said.

“There’s no way that these courses are going to be forgiven.”

SCHEDULE YOUR SCHOOL DAY

So what should a schedule look like? Huth said students should be working for four to six hours a day and circle back at night if needed to revisit lessons that they need extra help on, just as they would during a normal school day.

Rawlings recommended students dedicate 45 minutes to each subject every day. He also suggested parents check in with their children every day and make sure they have been in contact with their teachers. He said he knows this is a challenge for parents, but despite the stressors, it’s critical they stay on top of their children’s education.

“Our teachers are reaching out,” Rawlings said. “They just need to respond when the teachers do.”

Huth said parents and students should be patient and flexible.

“It’s going to be an activity that’s not perfect at this time, but for some of the students that do go on to post-secondary [education], this is going to be an environment that they’re going to learn in,” Huth said. “So they’re getting a little bit of a taste of it at an early age.”

County Council wants weekly COVID-19 meetings In light of COVID-19, the council members wanted more frequent updates of what is going on at the county level.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Volusia County Council will meet weekly on Tuesdays for the foreseeable future as the county continues to monitor the local COVID-19 pandemic’s impact, a decision made unanimously by the council at its meeting on Tuesday, April 7.

The meeting was mainly conducted over the phone, with only County Manager George Reckt-

enwald and County Councilman Ben Johnson, and some county staff, being physically present at the council chambers in DeLand.

Last week’s closure of the beaches, reversed 24 hours later, was not discussed at length other than Public Protection Director Joe Pozzo stating lifeguard towers went up again today to address the county’s allowance of recreational activity. This change was announced after a 72-year-old New Smyrna Beach man died at the hospital on Monday, April 6, following a cardiac arrest episode at the beach in New Smyrna. Pedestrians pulled him out of the water and initiate CPR. Beach Safety said there were no witnessses, and they do not know if it was a water-related or medical incident.

BY THE NUMBERS To date, Volusia County has distributed:

7,375

N95 masks

31,351

isolation masks

4,588

face shields

384

pairs of goggles

Volusia’s beaches are closed, but people can still exercise, swim and fish.

It was County Councilwoman Deb Denys who suggested the council meet once a week from now until a return to normalcy, saying that the council needs to have more updates, and not just on issues related to COVID-19.

Everything has been interrupted due to the pandemic, she said.

“We have to take the responsibilities as council members for some of the decisions that are made and the outcomes going forward,” Denys said.

Kelley voted in favor of the motion, but was vocal about his belief weekly meetings were unnecessary and would take away staff time. He said County

VOLUSIA’S ONE-DAY BEACH CLOSURE On Thursday, April 2, Volusia County Manager George Recktenwald announced at a press conference that all beaches would be closed, effective 12:01 a.m. on Friday, April 3.

This closed all off-beach parking lots, county-owned walkovers and coastal parks.

The beach would fly a doublered flag to signal the closure.

The news came 24 hours after Gov. DeSantis issued a statewide stay-at-home order, and Recktenwald said people who violated the order and headed to the beach would face second-degree misdemeanors with a $500 fine.

On the first day of the closure, Friday, April 3, Beach Safety personnel issued 120 verbal warnings, one written warning and one citation to people who ignored the order.

By 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 4, the county lifted almost all

Manager George Recktenwald had the power to handle the dayto-day issues with the local state of emergency order, which was extended for the fourth time at the meeting.

“Sounds like the majority of you are not wanting to give him the authority to operate,” Kelley said. “You want council to do it. I think that goes against what we’re trying to do in a state of emergency.”

the prohibitions. People could walk, jog, bike, fish, surf or swim, but couldn’t sunbathe, sit in chairs, play organized sports or congregating in groups.

“The decision to close the beach was intended to bring our county closer to stay-athome measures of state and federal government,” said Interim Community Information Director Kevin Captain in the Saturday update. “The decision to close the beach was largely an effort to reduce and prevent people from traveling to the county specifically for the purpose of going to our beach. To remain consistent in messaging to potential visitors — and residents — the county closed the beach as an additional effort to blunt the expected upward curve of COVID-19 cases that health experts confidently anticipate.”

Still, he said he wasn’t going to vote no if the majority of the council wanted to meet weekly.

It wasn’t the only motion made at the meeting. County Councilwoman Heather Post made motions to suspend curbside service at libraries and restrict tourists from renting at hotels and similar short-term rentals to further enforce the stay-at-home order. Both motions died.

MADE IN ORMOND BEACH

Touching the front lines Command Medical works to meet increased demand for respiratory devices JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Command Medical Products might be based in Ormond Beach, but its footprint is global.

For the last 33 years, the medical device contract manufacturer has been supplying products like oxygen bags, oxygen lines and endotracheal tubes to some of the largest medical technology device companies across the world. As COVID-19 takes a toll on the world, these products are now in high demand, and Command Medical is actively working to meet it.

Endotracheal tubes are used when COVID-19 patients need to be intubated and provided with invasive ventilation, explained Stephanie McGee, vice president of sales and marketing. It’s significant that production keep going, she said.

“We do manufacture products that are directly used for patients in critical care situations that are being treated for COVID-19, so we certainly want to support our customers that are the ones that are actually doing the distribution of those products,” she said.

Command Medical has been

asked by its clients, with whom it has non-disclosure agreements, to ramp up production at its manufacturing sites in Ormond and Managua, Nicaragua.

“They’re depending on us to be able to get that product to market,” McGee said.

To meet the need, Command Medical, which is owned by Ormond Beach resident David Slick, has redirected some of its workforce from manufacturing supplies related with nonemergency medical procedures toward the respiratory products.

In addition, the company has also worked to ensure their employees safety by isolating workspaces, implementing more cleanings and allowing some to work remotely.

Maintaining a safe environment is important, McGee said.

Ormond Beach Economic Development Director Brian Rademacher recently told the Ormond Beach Observer that he learned Command Medical manufactured parts for ventilators. Those ventilators eventually will make it to hospitals treating patients for COVID-19.

But even before the pandemic, this was part of Command Medical’s day-to-day business, he said.

“They’re engaged in that every day, so the pieces that they’re making are basically being sent out internationally and touching the front lines,” Rademacher said.

He added that it was great to

hear about local companies making an impact both at the local and international level in the fight against coronavirus.

McGee said she doesn’t think many people in Ormond Beach know Command Medical exists, and that they provide a local opportunity for high-wage jobs in engineering, inspection, project management and other sectors.

She said she’s also proud to work for a company that’s able to “bring lifesaving devices to the world.”

“And there’s a very strong likelihood that somebody in their family, somebody that they know personally, or themselves even, have been touched by products that have been made locally,” she said.

L ETT ERS Beach access helps support businesses Dear Editor: Full access to our local beaches and a healthy beachside economy go hand in hand. Many of our favorite beachside businesses rely on nearby foot and car traffic on the beach for their livelihoods. I’ve noticed some businesses with significantly less customers, reduced staff and shorter operating hours. The seemingly daily restrictions for what folks can do at the beach is leaving many businesses unable to make the best decisions for their stores and employees based on the potential foot traffic.

Should restaurants remain open?

Stay open but only offer takeout and delivery? These decisions not only impact the business but also each and every employee.

Each person now out of a job due to shutdowns now has less income to spend to help the businesses that remain open.

As someone that drives our Ormond beachside frequently, the significant reduction in traffic, near-empty parking lots and closed access to the beach has me worried about the temporary and permanent harm to our local economy. I hope changes are made that will give residents more options for recreational activities at our beaches and allow those that choose to access it help our local beachside businesses regain, and remain in, health.

Do your part: Stay home Post says cooperation will lead to a faster return to normalcy.

HEATHER POST COUNTY COUNCILWOMAN

Dear residents of Volusia County District 4: As someone who has worked a great deal of her life in public safety response, my first and foremost duty as a county councilwoman and as a human being, is your health and safety.

It is unfortunate that we have entered these very trying and unchartered times, but we are here. Volusia County can expect to feel its greater effects in the coming weeks. This information is not meant to cause fear or panic. This information is being availed to you to assist you in making wise choices as Volusia County citizens.

The focus should be on reducing ways for people to inadvertently contract the virus and expose others to it. The only way to stop this anytime soon is to act as if everyone is infected.

This means stay home unless absolutely necessary. If you must leave home for work, I ask you to go straight there and home again and use all precautionary safety

FOSTER PETS

measures at your disposal.

The beautiful thing about being in America is that as citizens we are given the opportunity to make many choices for ourselves. Although there may be many opportunities for you to be out and about, I ask you to stand for humanity and for each other knowing unequivocally that staying home for a two-four week period can save lives.

Every time you abide by the request to stay at home, you are investing in the safety of your family, and of your colleagues and of your neighbors. You are also investing in the safety and the welfare of our first responders and our health care workers.

So every time you ask, “Should I do this today? Should I abide?

Should I believe in the strategy?” you show others that their lives are worth it. One decision to tune out the message and have that playdate or take the family to the store, etc., negates that. Is it worth it?

It is frustrating, it is an inconvenience, and some will question the validity of it, but cooperation from everyone now can lead to us all returning to our normal lives and restoring the economy that much faster. Not heeding this will only greatly extend the time of virus spread and the upset to normalcy on social, economic and health care fronts.

I know that there is tremendous uncertainty for many right now in your jobs, your businesses, education, and more. But we will persevere.

Q+ A WITH DR. STEPHEN BICKEL

Masks, testing and social distancing JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

F

lorida Department of Health-Flagler Medical Director Dr. Stephen Bickel shared information on COVID-19 testing, research and masks during a questionand-answer session on April 6.

Q: How does the county seem to be doing at this point, in terms of testing and things like social distancing?

A: We’ve gone from one case to 31 in three weeks. The typical thing is it doubles every four or five days, so we’re right on that trajectory. So that’s expected, but worrisome. Plus, we still have had limited testing facilities, so we could be significantly underdiagnosing at this point.

The selection criteria for testing has been changed — partially because of test ability, but also, very importantly, because we have now reached the second phase of this pandemic locally, which is we’re experiencing community spread. Now, we’re testing basically anybody with significant symptoms, all health care workers with symptoms, anybody with significant symptoms over 65, anybody with comorbidities that put them at risk; we’re testing all those people even with mildish symptoms now.

Testing availability in Flagler should increase dramatically.

On the mask front, there’s been a change. Not so much the data on masks, more on how they’re

interpreting it, and also that there’s probably more people walking around asymptomatically with this that could be spreading it to others. ... They [masks] are for the people who have it, to wear to prevent them from expelling droplets into the air that other people then touch or they land on their clothes or other things, and they get it that way.

That hasn’t changed, although there’s a little bit of research suggesting this may spread by aerosol more than we thought. If the whole community wants to be wearing masks, it would probably help a little. But people shouldn’t interpret that as they should have been wearing them before. This is one added protection.

It wouldn’t shock me at all if we end up with 1,000 or 2,000 patients. In fact, that would only be 1% or 2% of the population, and a lot of the projections are 10%, 20% or more of the population. I think we’re doing pretty well, but I’m not at all convinced that we’ve done enough; we

may get into more significant lockdown measures, more strict interpretations of the exclusions.

Q: What would you imagine might be an improvement?

A: A lot of it is just how strict; so far it’s pretty voluntary.

Italy got to the point where people couldn’t even go out of their houses unless they had a bonafide reason.

Q: If people are wearing something like a bandana that’s folded over or something made out of a T-shirt, that should be fine to keep you from breathing it out onto somebody else?

A: Ideally, you’d want the people who have it to be wearing better masks, but they may not know who they are. But even that would help. If somebody is considered to be high risk, like elderly or other medical conditions, and they wanted to get more gung ho about the mask, get a better mask — that’s fine.

But there’s one caveat to this. People should not think that wearing the mask means that they don’t need to wash their hands and practice social distancing. They still need to do that.

Q: For the people doing essential jobs where it’s not easy to be six feet away from other people — like cashiers at a grocery store — would you recommend for those folks that they wear some kind of a mask?

A: Recommend may be a strong word, but I certainly wouldn’t think it’s a bad idea — same thing with gloves. Yes, people who have close exposure, it’s kind of a different animal. And they should be washing their hands regularly.

Q: I understand there’s an effort to get a drive-thru testing site in Flagler County. Can you speak to that?

A: We hope that will be available very soon.

BRIEFS DeSantis issues stay-at-home order Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a stay-at-home order for the entire state of Florida on April 1, ordering residents to “limit their movements and personal interactions outside of their home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities.”

“At this point, I think even though there’s a lot of places in Florida that have very low infection rates, it makes sense to make this move now,” DeSantis said in a press conference broadcast on The Florida Channel on April 1.

The order states, “A social gathering in a public space is not an essential activity. Local jurisdictions shall ensure that groups of people greater than ten are not permitted to congregate in any public space.”

“Essential services” includes attending religious services, taking care of pets, caring for or otherwise assisting a loved one or friend, and participating in recreational activities such as walking, biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, running, or swimming, as long as those activities are consistent with social distancing guidelines.

The order encourages people to work from home if they can, and encourages businesses to provide delivery, carry-out or curbside service for orders placed online or by telephone, when possible.

It also directs people 65 and older with major underlying medical conditions to stay at home and “take all measures” to limit their risk of exposure to the virus.

Roadway work accelerated DeSantis noted that because people are staying home, there’s less traffic on the roads — and a chance to work on the state’s infrastructure. He has told the state’s secretary of transportation to accelerate $2.1 billion in transportation projects.

Re-imagining Easter Ormond church distributes ‘egg hunt to-go’ bags

REALTY PROS DONATES TO FBH

aster must go on.

COVID-19 may have the entire state in a stay-at-home order, but with Easter eggs all ready to go at First United Methodist Church of Ormond Beach, the staff wasn’t going to give up that easily. The church held its first Egg Hunt To-Go on Thursday, April 3, and distributed 318 bags.

Caitlin Booth, director of children’s ministries, said the church wanted to show its support to the community. Families drove up to the church and collected the bags, which were placed on a table to limit contact. With the bags, parents will be able to hide the eggs themselves around their home on Easter Sunday, April 12.

The Easter Bunny couldn’t miss Egg Hunt To-Go at First United Methodist.

“It was in our hearts,” Booth said. “It was something that we needed to do.”

She never imagined celebrating Easter this way. At first, she said she was hurt the church’s annual egg hunt wouldn’t happen at all, but when First United came up with this idea, she was excited — it was something they could do to cheer the children up.

It was also a way to bring hope, Booth added.

“Right now, I think we need a lot of light and a lot of hope,” she said. “If we can be just the smallest light possible, then that’s a 100% win for us. We want people to know that God loves them.”

Historical Society hires new executive director How businesses can “It’s not easy to find someone with all of the skills that she has, and we certainly did find them in her.”

JARLEENE ALMENAS

JERRY LAMPE, Historical Society president

ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Ormond Beach Historical Society has hired a new executive director, and she comes with over 15 years of American museum experience, a pivotal skill for the organization as it continues to preserve the MacDonald House.

Julia Bussinger, who is originally from Bulgaria, received her doctoral degree in museum conservation and historical preservation from Gothenburg University in Sweden. She has managed museums from around the United States, including the Aerospace Museum of California, the El Paso Museum of Archaeology and the El Paso Museum of History, and most recently the American Museum of Science and Energy in Tennessee.

announced the open executive director position in January, Bussinger said she couldn’t believe it. She loves Ormond Beach, and had been impressed by its charm and history since she moved to Florida.

“My communication with the board and the people involved inspired me,” Bussinger said.

“They’re exceptionally knowledgeable, smart people, love historic preservation and dedicated to the mission the society.”

These are the factors that aid an executive director’s success, she said.

Bussinger is ready to help turn the MacDonald House into the official Ormond Beach Museum of History and Welcome Center. Historical Society President Jerry Lampe said hiring someone with a museum background was very important. They need someone to lead them through this process.

The Historical Society received over 50 applicants, Lampe said, but only two fit the specifications of what the board was looking for.

“She seemed to have all of the qualities that we needed,” Lampe said. “Someone who would also engage in partnerships with other organizations in the community.

Someone who would be actively engaged in the community.

Someone who builds bridges with other organizations, especially the City Commission, and someone who works collaboratively very well with everyone within the organization.”

Bussinger talks from the heart and her passion for museum work is evident, Lampe added. With ECHO funding coming soon to help with the exterior renovation of the MacDonald House, the Historical Society will be focusing on renovating the interior.

The Historical Society is looking forward to see what she can bring to the table, he said.

“It’s not easy to find someone with all of the skills that she has, and we certainly did find them in her,” Lampe said.

Having a place where the community and tourists can learn about the Ormond’s birthplace of speed history will bring a sense of pride to the town, Bussinger said.

She estimates it’s likely to be a five-year project, but said it will be a benefit for the public.

“This is the biggest appeal and something I would like to dedicate a lot of time,” Bussinger said.

“Everything in my professional knowledge, I would like to help.”

To help, Chiumento Dwyer Hertel Grant attorney Art Zimmet provided these bullet points to help business owners understand what is available:  Payc h e c k P ro te c t i o n Program (PPP) is a twoyear loan at 1% interest;  Interest begins accruing immediately, but payments are deferred for six months;  No collateral or personal guarantee is required; The maximum loan amount is 2.5 times “payroll costs,” which is specially defined by the CARES Act; Although the loan amount is based on payroll costs alone, up to 25% of the loan proceeds can also be used for rent and utilities among other costs;  Up to 100% of the loan can be forgiven, and the forgiven amount will not be categorized as taxable income; The amount forgiven is determined by measuring how closely to pre-COVID-19 levels a business maintains its full-time equivalent employee count and salary; The closer the business maintains those levels, the larger the percentage of the loan is forgiven; Because forgiveness is tied to maintaining headcount, businesses with employees that tran-

The CARES Act also impacts investors and other individuals. John Skripko, of Edward Jones, highlighted elements of the CARES Act in a recent press release sent to the Observer:  Individuals will receive a onetime payment of up to $1,200; this amount is reduced for incomes over $75,000 and eliminated altogether at $99,000;  Joint filers will receive up to $2,400, with this amount reduced for incomes over $150,000 and eliminated at $198,000 for joint filers with no children;  Plus, taxpayers with children will receive an extra $500 for each dependent child under the age of 17.  The CARES Act provides $250 billion for extended unemployment insurance, expands eligibility and provides workers with an additional $600 per week for four months, in addition to what state programs pay;  Unemployment benefits will also be extended through Dec. 31 for eligible workers;  And the provisions also cover the self-employed, independent contractors and “gig economy” workers.

“These benefits can provide a lifeline to many,” Skripko said.
