AdventHealth Palm Coast has 15 ventilators Ventilator supply, ICU capacity, virtual visitations BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

AdventHealth Palm Coast is well equipped so far for the COVID-19 crisis, with fewer than half of its 15 ventilators currently being used to treat patients, according to Wally D’Aquino, chief operating officer for the hospital. Also, the hospital has 18 licensed intensive care unit rooms, but it could

convert up to 48 more rooms to become “ICU-like” if there is a surge of patients.

“We are in good shape right now,” D’Aquino said April 3 on WNZF’s “Free For All Friday.” “If we have a surge, if numbers double — two, three times — we’re fine here. What does the ‘surge’ mean? That’s the question, and we don’t have an answer. … If we keep on the pace we’re doing right now, we’re going to be fine, if people stay home.”

D’Aquino did not say how many of the 15 ventilators are in use, but he said other AdventHealth hospitals are testing whether one

ventilator can be used for two patients. They are also testing whether some anesthesia equipment can be modified to be used as a ventilator.

VIRTUAL VISITATION

Also in AdventHealth Palm Coast, patients are being set up for virtual visitation.

“We’re ... training our nurses and staff, training them how to do that with their own device, or we’re providing a device to talk their loved ones,” D’Aquino said.

Physicians are also consulting virtually with patients, he said.

35 CASES IN FLAGLER As of April 6, there were six COVID-19 cases that require hospitalizations in Flagler County. There were 35 total positive cases and 432 negative tests, meaning 7.5% of tests were positive. One Flagler County resident has died. Visit floridahealth.gov.

Despite objections, county will keep beaches closed

We’re STARS in PALM COAST

‘Nobody wants to deprive people of the right to use the beach,’ County Administrator Jerry Cameron said. ‘It is strictly for safety.’

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Despite requests submitted by more than 25 residents, Flagler County officials during a videoconferenced County Commission meeting April 6 said they will not reopen the county’s beaches, citing concern over public safety and the risk that local beaches, if reopened, could attract out-oftown visitors.

“I understand that they want to use the beach, but their sole criteria is that they want to use the beach,” County Administrator Jerry Cameron said. “We are reviewing that every day with a partnership meeting, and at least once a week, we are discussing that.”

The county discusses it every time a surrounding county makes a change, because those affect Flagler, he said. Volusia County reopened its beaches to forms of exercise like walking, surfing, swimming or fishing, but not to sunbathing or group sports, on Saturday, April 4.

The residents who submitted emailed comments for the commission meeting’s public comment period, many of them beachside residents, had mostly requested a policy like Volusia’s that would let people go on beach walks or fish in the surf, but would

ban gatherings. Many wrote that people walking or jogging on sidewalks are often closer together than the recommended 6 feet, because a sidewalk has limited room to pass — unlike a beach.

But it’s not county resident who are the problem, Cameron said.

“If in fact it was just our folks that were out there, walking, practicing social distancing and being responsible, then they are correct that that would probably be a beneficial thing rather than a detrimental one,” he said. “But what we have seen across the state is that if you permit people to go on the beach in one area when other areas are closed, that you get an influx of people from the outside that come into the county ... and when they get on the beach, they do not practice good, safe practices, they don’t do social distancing, and they don’t do group control.”

The county doesn’t have enough law enforcement to enforce a partial closure, he added.

He noted that the county’s curve, and the state’s, appear to be flattening.

“This is a good time to display citizenship, rather than to think about what you aren’t being able to do because of the measures that are necessary to protect you,” Cameron said.

ens our concern about that patient.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

H Q+ A WITH FIRE CHIEF JERRY FORTE

COVID-19 and the Fire Department Q: Could you give an overview of how the Fire Department is responding to COVID-19 — how it’s changed things?

A: For a firefighter, change is very hard, especially when you don’t see it coming. What the deputy chief and I had been used to doing is making social meetings with the crews in the afternoons and the evenings, where we’d go out every Thursday and meet with one of the crews at one of the stations, and just see how they’re doing. And part of what we’re doing now is virtual meetings on the Zoom app, which is really not quite the same. ... But we know it’s beneficial that we maintain our distance from the responding crews.

Sometimes during a pandemic or a hurricane or a wildfire, the nonessential calls seem to wane away, and the essential calls come in heightened. So we’re seeing a whole lot more respiratory calls that are life-threatening, and our call volume in the last four weeks has gone very high. ... We’re all taking extra steps to make sure we’re staying safe.

Q: What are some of those steps?

A: The PPE [personal protective equipment] shortage is challenging everywhere you go. So we were able to take our selfcontained breathing apparatus masks, our Scott masks, and we’ve got conversion kits that now we’re able to use our masks as a full facepiece when we talk to a patient, instead of an N95 mask. ... People are going to start seeing firefighters roll up in a full face mask, which covers the eyes, nose and mouth, when dealing with a patient.

Q: What’s it like trying to get proper equipment? Is the use of the SCBA masks because it’s been impossible to get the N95 masks? Or more because it’s a more secure option?

A: Our job in the fire service is,

go with Plan A, but you’d better have a Plan B, C and D in your pocket. When the Ebola crisis came out four years ago, we went to these masks and the adaptors and the filters. So, putting a bunch of smart people in a room, we figured we can put the Ebola kits together and instead of using it for the Ebola scare, now we’re able to utilize it on a daily basis.

The cartridges that we use for the filter last at least 30 days. ...

We went online and ordered a whole bunch of filters. So, imagine all the calls that we would be going on using an N95; now those get to stay in circulation in the county system, and the crews that can use the N95s will have access to additional masks while we’re using the airpack masks.

Q: So if you were able to get the N95s, there was no shortage, do you think you’d switch to that, or is this just a better thing all around?

A: I would feel more comfortable leaving the masks from the airpacks on the crew, because it covers more area. ... Yes, we would still stay with the masks.

Q: There have also been some other changes, right? Aren’t you reducing the size of the crew that goes out on these possible COVID calls?

A: Right. In the past we would go with an ambulance, so there’d be two on an ambulance, three on an engine. ... So you’d have five people showing up on a call.

Now, if we’re on an engine, we only send one person in to assess the inside of the house with the patient. We ask them if they could come outside, which typically is a far cry from what we would normally do — you don’t ask the patient to get up and move. ... If we do go inside, with that one firefighter, they assess it and they see if we need to send more people in, or bring the patient out.

We want to make sure that

“If we don’t flatten the curve, it’s going to affect our population in a way that we can’t recover from well.”

Palm Coast Fire Chief JERRY FORTE

ow is COVID-19 affecting Palm Coast’s Fire Department?

How are firefighterparamedics preparing for coronavirus calls?

And how is the pandemic affecting responses to other emergencies? Palm Coast Fire Chief Jerry Forte shared his insights.

there’s at least one person that’s not affected by the contact, and they’re able to drive the engine back to the station while we take a small utility vehicle to pick up the firefighters to de-con them.

As you know, if you’ve got a contaminated firefighter and you put him in a clean truck, you’ve now got a contaminated truck.

Q: What steps do you take to prevent things like uniforms from being contaminated, for the person that goes in and maybe has to be handling the patient really closely?

A: We ordered booties and smocks and things, but the reality on using those out in the field is they become another contaminant, whereas the uniform, the shirts and the T-shirts that we wear, if they’re going to have anything on them, they take those off, wash them in soap and water, and just change their clothes and that’s part of what our response is.

One thing that I’ve conveyed to the crews this past week is: Throughout our whole careers we’re told when the bell goes off, get in the truck, go to the call, they need you at that as quick as possible. But now we’re saying, when you get to the door, you’ve got to slow down, you’ve got to stop and assess the situation even moreso than ever before, because as much as the patient on the other side of the door needs our assistance, we have to make sure we’re protecting our crews as much as possible before they go in the house. And for them, it’s a change of pace.

Q: I’d imagine there are also scenarios where it’s not clear if people on the scene might have symptoms — for instance, if you’re called out to a car crash. So how does that work?

A: We’re going in with the presumption that everybody’s got it, until deemed otherwise.

What is frustrating is, the dispatchers ask the appropriate questions — and they’re doing a great job — but the patients refuse to answer the questions sometimes. So that just height-

Q: How often does that happen, that people don’t answer the questions? Is it a couple times a week, or?

A: No, it’s daily. We’ll hear the dispatchers say the patient refused to answer COVID questions.

Q: And then that means you have to do the whole COVID routine that you would do if they answered positive, right?

A: Right.

Q: So, if you have somebody go through this whole process of decontamination, that must take somebody out of circulation for a while every time you go on one of these calls, right?

A: Before we had the COVID virus, we would respond in less than 7 minutes ... and get back in service/available within 25 to 30 minutes from the original call-out.

Now, after COVID, we have to go there and we have to take take the time to talk to the patient, additional PPE, gear up, handling them specially, then if one of us does have some sort of contact with the patient, now we’ve got to go for an additional 15 minute de-con. So that unit is out out of service probably an additional 20 to 30 minutes. So that one 30-minute call for a fire engine has now turned into an hour.

So if a second call comes in in the same zone, now we’re taking a unit from across town and sending them to that call, which is going to extend the response time.

Q: What else would you like the community to know?

A: That we understand that it’s very stressful at this time for them to be home. Our folks are going out under the understanding that whatever they contact out in the field, they might get and take to their house. So it’s stressful on us.

And if they can be as honest with us before we get on the scene as possible, it works out best for everybody. We appreciate them staying at home, as much as they want to get out in this beautiful Florida weather.

But if we don’t flatten the curve, it’s going to affect our population in a way that we can’t recover from well.

I spoke with our family priest a couple of weeks ago about the new normal, and how you can actually take a look at life.

In ’98, we were dealing with a lot of fires. It was very stressful, there was a lot of smoke in the air, and it would obscure the sun. And as you’re working in this environment, you don’t see the sun, you experience some of those moments where you’re looking at yourself and saying, “What am I doing?”

And then at some point, when the fire starts to bank down or lessens and the smoke clears, and you can start to see the stars or the sun comes out, you get that sense of rebalance again. He reminded me of that.

And if the community just looks at it as — we’re given an opportunity to stay at home and be more connected with our families and what we do, and it would be a great opportunity for us to take advantage of that, and reconnect with our families and our kids and get used to the idea of what our family life could be if we didn’t have all these outside distractions technology presents, as good as it is.

Plans for large FCSO Palm Coast office are scrapped County will build new operations center in Bunnell JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

In April 2019, the Flagler County Commission decided to construct a large Sheriff’s Office district building on a site near the Flagler County Public Library on Palm Coast Parkway, rather than build a large new FCSO operations center site in Bunnell.

A year later, the commission has changed its mind: The Palm Coast proposal has been scrapped and the county will instead build a new Sheriff’s Operations Center in Bunnell, this time on a plot of land off Commerce Parkway near the county’s Emergency Operations Center and Government Services Building complex. And it will still, ultimately, likely end up next to a library —a new Bunnell branch location the county hopes to build on that land.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said during a videoconferenced County Commission meeting April 6 that he had preferred the Bunnell location from the beginning.

“The location that you’re talking about was my number one choice, because it’s a logical location,” he said. “It’s near the courthouse, its near the EOC [Emergency Operations Center], it’s near my communications center, it’s near fleet, it’s near fuel. So all the things that we need to operate are there.”

The sheriff and his staff have been evacuated from the existing, mold-affected Sheriff’s Operations Center building on State Road 100 in Bunnell since June 2018, and county commissioners have said they have no interest in pushing the sheriff to reoccupy the building, a former hospital structure which multiple FCSO employees believe made them ill when they worked there.

In the meantime, the sheriff and his employees have been working from space at the county courthouse.

County Administrator Jerry Cameron laid out the argument for the new Bunnell site during the April 6 meeting, saying several commissioners had proposed it: The county could sell the Palm Coast parcel next to the library, he said, to help fund the construction of the Sheriff’s Operations Center on land the land in Bunnell, part of which the county already owns.

That land was slated to be the home to a new Bunnell branch of the county library, which would replace the existing branch on State Road 100. But the county’s engineering department has found that the new Operations Center and library could be built together on the same land, Cameron said.

“I think that this new alternative ... has many more pluses than it does minuses,” County Commissioner Greg Hansen said.

“Not only does it allow us to sell the property over in Palm Coast and get some money from it, but it would allow us to use the old SEE CENTER PAGE 6

Masks, testing and social distancing nificant 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

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 sig-

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.

The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County is seeking volunteers with medical or clerical experience to help with COVID-19 testing and contact tracing.

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. Can you speak to that?

A: We hope that will be available very soon.

open beaches and facilities.

I thank you, our officials, for taking consideration and addressing how to support and please the county residents. I can undertand the difficulties in such decisions and though many might not be happy, tough decisions are being made with the abundance of safety and caution.

I would like to address the availability of our bike trails.

As per the county and city order, bike trails have been closed. With the beautiful weather, while practicing social distancing, individuals have been going out and riding on the sidewalks and roads to get exercise.

This is a danger to pedestrians and to the riders themselves as motorists do not pay the proper attention. What is the difference riding on the street, sidewalk or more safely on our trails?

I would request that our officials exmaine the use of our trails and, while practicing social distancing, reopen the trails and allow the public to use them in a more safe manner.

The only difference with trails being open or closed is where people ride and their safety.

Dear Editor: As always, we hear that this country is ready for anything.

So says our government, and believe it or not, we are never ready.

When was the last time we got hit by a hurricane here in Florida? We were not prepared.

Why does this country have to wait before it gets ready when it is too late?

We knew well in advance that the coronavirus would arrive here. So where are the masks, ventilators and testing equipment? People are dying because of us not being prepared.

People here do not listen when they are told to stay six feet apart from others. Counties took way too long to order stay-at-home rules.

Everybody waited for the president to shut us down.

That is not his job. It is the governor’s job, and he waited way too long to make the decision.

Volusia County opens their beach after one day of closing because the people were upset!

If they would follow the rules for just a few weeks, we might be able to beat this. We have to work together, not just a few of us. I mean everyone — do your part.

You just have to keep your distance and obey the rules; it is not that difficult to do.

Let’s get this done and over with for good.

Where’s the evidence that Sheriff’s Ops Center can’t be fixed?

Dear Editor: With all due respect, Sheriff Staly, a taxpayer who pays their taxes through their taxpayer funded salary doesn’t have the same ring of concern that the rest of us have. Submit your evidence that the current Sheriff’s Operations Center can not be remediated satisfactorily, just like any other investigation.

Once your proof is presented, then the court of public opinion will close this case.

Until then, many of us will continue to sit in judgment. As for the building, the Board of

County Commissioners is the landlord; you are the tenant.

If the county does their due diligence, provides a sanitized, tested and cleared building for occupancy, then you as the tenant must make the difficult argument why you can’t.

There are no guarantees in life. If you were here during the construction of both the Government Services Building and the Justice Building, you would know that those two new buildings had their share of water intrusion problems as well.

Jerry Cameron, I must ask, why wasn’t there a press release regarding the muchanticipated and long-awaited National Institute of Safety and Health final report? You know, the one from CDC that I told you on Feb. 2 was coming later on that same month? You know, the one you were quoted saying you didn’t know when it was forthcoming? The one that prompted the “Sell it or Destroy it” mantra?

A new building doesn’t fulfill the perfection that you seek.

That many of the commissioners had predetermined the future of the building, before the proof was presented, gives many in our community pause.

We are not angry, yet, but this continued foolishness that is defying common sense is testing our patience. Many have never seen a group of Republicans act in such a cavalier manner with taxpayer money since the mid 2000s, and we all know how that ended. We are now in a similar economic situation as when the Sheriff’s Operations Center was built. Are you seriously going to stick to your same old worn-out talking points from the past? It’s time to end this charade!

bank building as the sheriff’s substation in Palm Coast —the building we already own and are somewhere over half finished updating for the sheriff’s use.”

The old bank building Hansen was referring to was a former Wachovia the county had purchased for a Sheriff’s Office substation in Palm Coast before the county had decided to build a large district office on Palm Coast Parkway.

County Commissioner Joe Mullins said he preferred the Bunnell location —city commissioners from Bunnell, the county seat, had objected to the prospect of losing the Sheriff’s Office’s primary location to Palm Coast — and added that Sheriff’s Office headquarters usually aren’t in “prime locations” like the Palm Coast Parkway parcel, for traffic reasons.

Commissioners Donald O’Brien and Charlie Ericksen also favored the Bunnell location.

Staly suggested finishing work on the former bank building so that the FCSO, when the lease is over at its current Palm Coast substation in a year to a year and a half, could move into the renovated bank building while the county sells the parcel next to the Palm Coast county library location.

“If you have a buyer that takes some of the burden off the taxpayer, I think it’s a win all the way around, as a taxpayer and a sheriff,” he said.

The commission voted 5-0 to move the Operations Center to the property off Commerce Parkway, sell the land next to the county library branch in Palm Coast and use the former Wachovia as a Palm Coast FCSO substation.

“If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

Flagler Schools employees could face 7% hike in insurance costs Human resources officer called the situation ‘bleak.’

BRIAN McMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

After a 15% increase on insurance premiums last year, Flagler Schools teachers and staff could be required to pay an additional 7% this year if the School Board approves the latest recommendations by the advisory committee and insurance agency Brown and Brown, presented during a workshop April 7.

Sc h o o l Boa rd m e m b e r Colleen Conklin called the news “disappointing.” Chief Human Resources Director Jewel Johnson called the committee discussions “bleak.”

In addition to the premium hike, the maximum out of pocket would also increase; for a single person, it would go from $6,350 up to $7,000. Wellness incentives would stay in place, including a $200 payout to employees for getting an annual wellness exam at the school’s clinic.

Julie Freidus, of Brown and Brown, told the School Board that the teachers and staff are “savvy” with their health care. About 90% are using generic prescriptions.

But prescription costs are still going up. As an example, Freidus said she is aware of a cystic fibrosis treatment that costs $500,000 per year.

In addition to the employees paying more for health insurance if the plan is adopted, the district would also increase its contri-

Dance noted that Trevor Tucker looked like a “witness protection silhouette.”

DeSantis issues stay-at-home order Certain businesses can operate and people can still exercise outdoors, consistent with social distancing guidelines.

JONATHAN SIMMONS

SCHOOL WORKERS 65+ SHOULD STAY HOME Responding to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ statewide stay-at-home order issued April 1, the Flagler County School District is directing employees who are 65 and older to remain home. Campuses are closed to the public through May 1.

NEWS EDITOR

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, as the lower traffic volume will make it easier to close lanes and redirect vehicles without causing major traffic snags.

“It’s sad that we’re in this situation, but I’m glad we’re able to make the most of it,” DeSantis said.

NEW TESTS COMING

DeSantis was optimistic about ultimately getting the state “back on its feet.”

“A week or two ago, people were talking about being in lockdown for seven, eight, nine months; that is not sustainable for the society. That won’t work,” he said.

But new tests, he noted, seem to come out almost daily.

“I think harnessing that technology, you’re going to be able to have a society that protects against the virus but is going to allow people to do more than just work at home,” he said. “And so, we’re in a much better spot today on that than we were just a week ago.”

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has received calls from residents who are reporting a new scam related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Residents said that a person calls saying that they are calling from AdventHealth. The caller is someone with a language barrier who then asks if they would like a nurse from AdventHealth to come to their home and test them for COVID-19.

AdventHealth is not offering a service like this in Flagler County, and if you receive a phone call like this you should hang up immediately.

If a stranger knocks on your door, or someone dressed like a nurse knock on your door, and you are not expecting anyone, do not open your door. Call the Sheriff’s non-emergency number at 386-313-4911 and let a deputy check them out.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office has a COVID-19 hotline and email address that can be used to report frauds or scams from your home.

Pornographic images in Easter eggs in mailboxes The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office received calls on Sunday, April 5, 2020, from local residents in Flagler County about a suspicious package found inside their mailboxes.

The callers told deputies that their flag on their mailbox was in the “up” position. When they looked inside, they found a plastic Easter egg. Inside the egg was a cracker in the shape of a fish, one sheet of toilet paper, a powdered drink mix, and a crumpled up piece of paper containing pornographic images.

“The person who did this is not only a very sick individual but could actually be spreading COVID-19 by their actions,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

YOUR NEIGHBORS Parks and Rec staff make Easter wellness calls to seniors Online Easter services planned to continue — online — at Palm Coast churches

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

M

any churches are streaming their worship services and devotionals on Facebook and other means throughout Palm Coast, leading up to Easter. In some ways, for people who are looking for church, it has become easier than ever to hear from spiritual leaders because of the accommodations made in response to COVID-19.

Among two of the mostviewed services on Facebook in Palm Coast recently are those of Parkview Baptist Church and Palm Coast United Methodist Church.

At PCUMC, the Palm Sunday service on April 5 was streamed from the church itself on Belle Terre Parkway, with music, a sermon and even an online communion from home.

“It’s very important for us to continue to do everything we can to sustain God’s world and our health,” said the Rev. Dr. Kevin M. James Sr., standing at the PCUMC podium wearing his white robes but also gloves and a mask.

James saw a spiritual lesson in the guidance to wear a mask.

“We’ve been asked to put on a mask to protect us, but yet not just protect us, because when we put this mask on our face, it is protecting those around us,” he said. If you aren’t worried about contracting the virus, you should still wear a mask because you are “concerned about your neighbor,” he said. And, “When they wear the mask, it protects guess who? You.” PCUMC will be streaming on Facebook at 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Easter Sunday.

Pastor Trent Schake, who streamed a devotional on Facebook recently to the Epic Church audience, noted that this week leading up to Easter is an opportunity to consider anew the impact of the life of Jesus Christ.

Celebrating Easter from home instead of church, Schake said,

It is important to stay connected as a community, even if it can only be done over the phone or virtually.

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

The cleaning supplies and food came just in time.

Two months before the coronavirus outbreak, the fourth graders at First Baptist Christian Academy collected more than 1,000 pounds of food, plus cleaning supplies, to benefit Open Door Re-Entry and Recovery Ministry, a faith-based substance abuse rehabilitation home in Bunnell.

They concluded their efforts after the first week of March and planned an assembly so that the whole grade could present the goods to Open Door founder Charles Silano.

Instead, the school was closed to promote social distancing, and instead of students helping, staff and family helped load the food and supplies into Silano’s delivery truck. But the impact for Open Door was the same.

“It was very uplifting to have that kind of support,” Silano said.

“The kids were very excited to do something like that, like it was a mission trip.”

The food stocked Open Door’s pantry, and blankets and quilts were also given to its residents.

Leftover dry goods were delivered to the Grace Community Food Pantry, which Silano also administers.

The food drive was also an inspiration for the fourth grade teachers, Nikki Crouse, Neza Mahadeo and Nilda Rodriguez.

DELIVERED FBCA’s fourth grade food drive collected 1,014 pounds of nonperishable food for Open Door ministry, plus cleaning supplies, quilts and blankets. Some of the leftover food helped Grace Community Food Pantry distribute food to 254 families in a new Thursday distribution for Flagler Schools, added since the coronavirus outbreak, to serve children’s families who aren’t getting fed thorough the Backpack Program.

Crouse said the idea came from a combination of the students’ history lessons about food rationing during World War II, and their Bible lessons about loving one another. The students brainstormed and executed.

“You could tell the pride in their eyes and in their reactions,” Crouse said. “They had ownership of this. They were counting and sorting, and they were all volunteering like crazy.”

Crouse felt there was divine intervention in the project.

“Our hearts were incredibly warmed and blessed by the blessings we were able to give to the pastor and his ministry,” she said.

“God had this timing already set up, and he knew what their needs were going to be.”

With the new Adopt-a-Senior program, Palm Coast Parks and Recreation staff are making wellness calls to seniors with the goal of making sure they are both physically and mentally well.

“Recognizing that the recreation activities we provide are some of the only social interaction our senior community gets, we felt it was important to reach out and make sure they were faring well through this time,” said Palm Coast Parks and Recreation Director Lauren Johnston. “It is equally beneficial to us as we miss the face-to-face interactions we typically would be having.”

The Adopt-a-Senior program is in the beginning stages, so for now calls are being made to those who have registered with Parks and Rec for senior activities. Staff are checking to see how they are doing with the COVID-19 social distancing recommendations and Mayor Milissa Holland’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order.

“Our calls are being received with genuine appreciation; our residents are pleasantly surprised by our kind gesture and the efforts the city of Palm Coast has made to keep a steady flow of communication,” said Facility and Guest Attendant Vanessa Pearson.

“A few seemed just really happy having someone to talk to,” said Facility and Guest Attendant Jason Zachok. “Of course a few toilet paper related statements came up, but those were meant as humorous.”

The seniors that staff have connected with so far are maintaining a positive disposition. They miss the parks, trails, and recreation activities but are respecting social distancing recommendations and will be happy when this is all over.

“In an unprecedented crisis like this, we want every person in our community to know they are not alone,” said Mayor Milissa Holland.

It is important to stay connected as a community, even if it can only be done over the phone or in some other virtual manner at this time. Palm Coast Parks & Recreation staff will continue to make as many calls as they can to senior activity participants and provide every opportunity possible to stay engaged through this challenging time.

Chamber webinar helps businesses navigate aid Art Zimmet, of Chiumento Dwyer Hertel Grant, provides guidance for businesses.

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act is massive. It also could be the pathway to survival for some small businesses. To help, the Flagler County Chamber partnered with Chiumento Dwyer Hertel Grant in sponsoring a Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan and Paycheck Protection Plan Webinar for Flagler County businesses, led by attorney Art Zimmet, with the law firm.

In advance of the webinar, 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;

INDIVIDUAL BENEFITS

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:  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.

He proudly served his country in WWII and was honorably discharged with a rating of Seaman First Class. For his service in the Pacific as air crew aboard the carrier USS Saratoga, he was awarded both the WWII Victory and American Theatre Medal. After Ken retired as General Manager of the Boston branch of The Dannon Company, Ken developed his interest in art, music and theatre. He performed in several plays in NH and Maine and taught drama in the Palm Coast Adult Education Program after moving with his wife Ami to Florida in 2002. Ken and Ami traveled the world.

He was a hospice volunteer, a member of The Knights of Columbus #253 and of the Friends of the Flagler Public Library. Survivors include his wife of 40 years, Ami Paulette Lane; sons; Thomas, Kevin, Edward, Christopher, Paul, and Jeffrey and Ami’s daughter, Shelli Beth Truett, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and three beloved sisters who live in New England. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Eileen, and sons Larry, Richard and Kenneth Lane,

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 transition to unemployment compensation will not achieve full loan forgiveness under the PPP.

How will kids remember COVID-19?

MEGAN FARRELL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

An excerpt from the diary of my 1-year-old son: 6:45 a.m. Ahh! It’s getting brighter in my room. That means it’s almost time for me to yell to Mom and Dad to come get me to snuggle in bed with them. I love our extra time in the morning these days.

8:15 a.m. Time for breakfast! My dad loves bacon and even shares it with me. I just wish they would share whatever is in their cup that makes them act so happy ...

10:30 a.m. Mom lays me down for my nap. I usually go down after being rocked for one song, but today I want to be with Mom for three. I hope she doesn’t mind.

12:30 p.m. It’s time for three of my favorite things: Food, Mom and Dad! I love when they share. What they’re eating tastes much better than what’s on my plate.

2:15 p.m. Mom, get off the phone and come play with me!

Dad, get off your computer!

Let’s play!

3:45 p.m. Man, I am tired from all that excitement! It’s time for Dad to lay me down.

I love when he puts the beach

The Lord is Risen!

sounds on while I nap.

6:15 p.m. I just woke up and am ready to head out for a nightly walk. Mom and Dad take me around the neighborhood. I love getting to see all my friends with their parents outside. The cool breeze feels good on my face, and I love the sun on my skin. Plus, there are so many puppies!

7 p.m. My favorite part of the day! Daddy makes us dinner. I think Mom likes it as much as I do. We all dance while dinner is being cooked.

8 p.m. Please stay awake!

Please stay awake! I love spending long days with my parents at home. I want to stay awake so this day doesn’t end, but I know when I wake up tomorrow, I have another amazing day to look forward to, in my home, with my favorite people.

Indeed He is Risen! Hallelujah!

Unfortunately we cannot come together in our churches and other worship places to celebrate the glorious resurrection of Jesus because of the Coronavirus pandemic.

However, that should not hinder us from proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus at the top of our voice!

Let us proclaim this message of hope and joy from home by joining Easter Sunday services online, calling our family and friends, neighbors and coworkers.

Also let us use all the available means of social media to proclaim the good news of the resurrection of Jesus which the world needs to hear especially at this time of gloom and anxiety.

As the Holy Bible teaches us, let us now cast all our anxiety on the Lord because he cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).

Moreover, let us always remember that “the arm of the Lord is not to short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear” (Isaiah 59:1).

Hence, let us continue to pray to the Risen Lord with deep faith, absolute confidence and total trust for an early end to this horrible pandemic.

We are in uncharted territory, my friends, having to navigate this new world of working from home while also having little ones begging for our attention full time. It can be frustrating and overwhelming.

One thing I know for sure: When our babies look back on these days, they won’t remember what we didn’t do right. What they will remember is all of the wonderful memories they made with Mom and Dad while safe in their homes.

Do you need to sell?

There are still people who are buying homes!

With technology, 3D Tours, video walk-throughs and more, you won’t miss a beat!

In the name of Fr. Arul, Fr. Bart, Fr. McElroy, Fr. Mel, Fr. George, Fr. Fred, and Fr. Jim, and Deacons Bob, Tom, Jose and Ed, and all the staff members of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and School, I wish all of you, especially our beloved parishioners a Very Happy and Joyful Easter.

May the Risen Lord bless all of you with the gifts of healing, good health and peace.
