Baldwinites look for rainbows in unsettling times By BRIdget dowNes bdownes@liherald.com
Call it the great Baldwin rainbow hunt. A group of Baldwinites has been hanging up paper rainbows to encourage others to be creative and spend time outdoors — though a safe distance from others. The concept, which sprang up on Facebook, is simple: color, paint, cut or print out a rainbow and tape it to your front door or window. Then
take a walk around the area and count how many other rainbows you can find. The art project becomes an outdoor activity, encouraging neighbors to get fresh air without human contact. “It’s amazing, because my son and I take a walk every day, and every day more rainbows keep popping up,” said Tricia Wilder, a district parent and kindergarten teacher. “The first day we went out, we only found one. The next day, we found three. Yesterday we
found, like, seven. “Over the next few weeks,” the Facebook post, shared by Wilder, read, “many of us will be increasing our time spent at home. It can be hard to find things to do all day — especially with children — and not lose your mind.” Last week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered schools to close until March 31 to stop the spread of coronavirus. At press time, more than 20,000 coronavirus cases had been Continued on page 5

The Baldwin Fire Department stands ready to assist anyone in need amid the coronavirus spread.
Resources offered amid coronavirus spread conTinued From Page 1 Cuomo. If visits are necessary, both individuals should wear masks, and visitors should be pre-screened by taking their temperature and observing any flu-like symptoms. Local restaurants, including Novi New Old Venice Inn and A Touch of Italy, are offering services like pickup and delivery to local residents. Cuomo also announced New York State on PAUSE, an executive order requiring non-essential businesses statewide to close beginning March 22. It also bans nonessential gatherings of any size for any reason. And the governor announced a 90-day moratorium on residential or commercial evictions. Baldwin Public Library employees have encouraged local residents to use their community resources, which include e-books, audiobooks, live tutoring, language courses and test preparation. Residents without an existing library card are offered digital library cards to provide access to these resources. Additionally, the library’s social work graduate intern, Molly Miskiewicz, has offered to help anyone unable to acquire essentials like food, water and clothing. Her role at the library is new, and she has connected residents to resources. In the past week, Miskiewicz’s inbox has been flooded with messages from local residents offering donations to people in need. She has connected about a dozen people with resources. She was surprised, she said, when she discovered a desperate need for mental health resources right now. “I think everyone is panicking and worrying about what’s going on with the state of our existence,” Miskiewicz said. “It’s easy to sit in your house and worry about everything.” While she is typically in the library for a few hours a few times a week, she has worked remotely recently. She encouraged patrons to call, message, text or email her. “There’s so many resources for people, and we’re all just here to help,” she said,
Tips from the Baldwin F.d.
Christina Daly/Herald
■ Do not approach Fire Department personnel at emergency scenes unless necessary, affording them social distancing. ■ All firehouses are closed to the public. ■ For emergencies, call (516) 223-0066. ■ For non-emergency inquiries, call (516) 223-6858. ■ When calling in an emergency, you will be asked a short series of questions to better prepare responding firefighters and EMS personnel. ■ Notify the dispatcher when requesting helpt from Fire Department personnel if you believe you have an infected COVID-19 patient or a patient with any other communicable disease. Regardless of your answers, the Fire Department will respond to all emergency calls.
The Baldwin PuBlic Library is offering online services to residents. adding that the library has been “phenomenal” in making resources available through the library’s website and online platforms, including Zoom, a videoconferencing service. Typically, during office hours, patrons can visit Miskiewicz and talk to her about whatever is going on in their lives and whatever they need help with, she said. She plans to use Zoom to connect with people in lieu of face-to-face interaction. “It’s kind of centered around this idea that libraries are no longer this place of just books, and rather, libraries have become these places where people can go when they need things, when they need
help with things, when they have questions and don’t really know where to go,” Miskiewicz said. “That’s kind of largely the premise of library social work.” “I really want the Baldwin residents to know they’re not alone right now,” she continued. “There’s so much need within the community, and we might not physically be there, but I can’t even tell you how much the library is doing and planning, and just how much the Baldwin library cares about the community. We’re really there for everyone.” Additionally, Baldwin Fire Department Chief Lee Streithorst, in a message to the community, said firefighters remain vigi-
lant, available and ready to respond to fire and medical emergencies. Streithorst said BFD is in constant contact with the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management, as well as the Nassau County Emergency Operations Command, police and fire marshals, maintaining real-time information about the ever-changing situation. “The over 200 firefighters of the Baldwin Fire Department stand ready 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” he wrote in the message. “We are dedicated to your safety. Every day we respond to your emergencies, we consider it a privilege to protect and serve you. During these trying times, rest assured, ‘We are in this together, Baldwin strong.’”

Locals hunt for rainbows during outbreak reported in New York, including more than 2,400 cases in Nassau County. Public health officials urge people to avoid close contact with others and to take part in social distancing. The virus is believed to spread mainly between people within about six feet of each other and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because many people have been self-isolating at home, and since schools closed March 16, fun activity ideas like the rainbow hunt have swirled on social media. In Baldwin, you can find rainbows on Grove, Spruce and Walnut streets, St. Luke’s Place and Rockwood Avenue, among other streets. Baldwinite Sara Jamison, who teaches preschoolers at Community Nursery School, shared the idea with her class on an app called Dojo, which many kindergarten and first-grade teachers are using to communicate with students and parents. “We’ve been sharing photos, videos as well as notes of positivity and staying connected,” Jamison said. “It’s been our light during this time.” She said she walks with her 6-yearold daughter, Faye, a Plaza Elementary School student, and her 4-year-old son, Charlie, a Community student, daily in search of rainbows. Wilder said she, too, used Dojo to assign students the art project. Every kindergarten and first-grade teacher at Plaza has assigned the rainbow hunt craft, Wilder said, adding she also suggested it to the upper grades. “It’s a little bit of brightness in not great times,” said Wilder, whose son, Shea, a first-grader at Plaza, colored a rainbow. “If it inspires more people in the community to put them up, that would be fabulous,” she continued, “because right now, I feel like we’re reaching students because a lot of teachers have assigned the rainbow as part of their art assignment.” Baldwinite Loretta Cabagnot Crespo, who works as a pre-kindergarten teacher in the Lawrence School District, said she was on board with the rainbow hunt. “I thought this was a great idea for children and parents to do a community scavenger hunt,” she said. “Baldwin parents are the best.” Another Baldwin resident, Marlene Burczyk, said her household contributed to the rainbow project. “Each one of my kids, along with the sitter, made a rainbow and hung them on the door,” she said. “They have since walked around the neighborhood and counted how many they find. Hopefully more people will get involved and add to the excitement.” Baldwinite Rachel Freed said she and her son, 8-year-old Lucas, also crafted a rainbow, fit with a pot of gold and a leprechaun to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 17.

BMS staffer tested positive for coronavirus School officials postpone $158M bond vote, schools remained closed until April 1 By Bridget downes bdownes@liherald.com
In a letter posted on the Baldwin School District website on March 18, schools Superintendent Dr. Shari Camhi said that a staff member at Baldwin Middle School self-reported that they tested positive for coronavirus. “Due to privacy laws, no additional information can be shared,” Camhi said in the letter. “The Department of Health did not recommend that anyone needed to be quarantined or contacted. Effective immediately, the middle school building will be closed for complete fogging and deep cleaning.” No one was allowed inside the middle school except for the people necessary to perform and oversee cleaning protocols, according to the letter. The cleaning process would close the building for at least 24 hours, Camhi said in the letter. “We have not been directed to do this,” she said. “We simply believe it is the right thing to do.” School officials said that, based on continuing information coming from national, state and local health professionals, the case is likely to be the first of many such confirmed cases among the school community, and the community at large. “This is a time for everyone to practice diligence and caution,” Camhi continued. “As advised by the Department of Health and other health officials, all students are expected to remain home and should be monitored for symptoms. If any symptoms develop, it is recommended that you contact your doctor for guidance.” School officials said they have contacted the Nassau County Department of Health for guidance about next

Winter H.S. sports championships cancelled By tonY BellissiMo tbellissimo@liherald.com
On Monday morning, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYPHSAA) announced the cancellation of the remaining winter state championship events. The impacted championship events include the boys and girls basketball regionals and state championships, as well as the ice hockey and bowling championships. Plans are being developed to honor and formally recognize the students and teams who qualified to participate in these championship events. Nassau County basketball teams impacted by this decision are the Baldwin boys and girls, East Rockaway boys and girls, Elmont boys, Locust Valley girls, and Carle Place girls. “It is with great disappointment that we make the decision to cancel the remaining winter championship events,” said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. “Our association’s focus is to benefit students through participation in interscholastic athletics and unfortunately this rapidly developing situation has prevented our association from providing a quality championship experience. We certainly sympathize for the students who are being impacted by this crisis but at this time they deserve honesty from the leadership of our association.” Factors that played a role in this decision include but are not limited to: the evolving COVID-19 public threat, CDC mass gathering recommendations, Governor Cuomo’s declaration of a state emergency, President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency, input from the 11 Sections and extended school closures. Baldwin’s girls’ basketball team captured a sev-
enth straight county Class AA championship on March 8, defeating Syosset at Nassau Coliseum. That same evening on the same court, the Bruins beat Uniondale for the Class AA boys title. “The cancellation of the winter season is extremely disappointing but understandable,” Baldwin athletic director Ed Ramirez said. “My heart breaks for our basketball players and spring athletes, especially the seniors. This is bigger than athletics and the decision was made with health and safety in mind.” Elmont, coached by George Holub, won its third Nassau Class A boys crown in five seasons on March 7, defeating South Side. The Spartans were set to play Amityville in a highly anticipated LIC the following weekend. The East Rockaway girls and boys won the L.I. Class C titles on March 9 and 10, respectively. Locust Valley’s girls finished the season undefeated at 22-0. It was supposed to face Westhampton in the LIC. “This is one of the most difficult decisions the Officers of the NYSPHSAA have ever had to make,” said Paul Harrica, President of NYSPHSAA. “It has been determined it is not feasible for the Winter State Championships to be hosted in a safe and beneficial manner for the participating student-athletes and their teams in the near future. The health and safety of the students we serve will always be our top priority.” With school districts closed for an extended period of time, Sections and schools are individually determining the Spring sport start dates and practice parameters that best meet the needs of the students they represent. The status of the NYSPHSAA Spring State Championships will be determined on or prior to Monday, April 27.

Trevor Thompson receives Milani Scholarship By Bridget downes bdownes@liherald.com
Baldwin student Trevor Thompson was recently awarded $1,000 through the Milani Scholarship, 3D’s Aftercare Inc.’s scholarship fund. Through its scholarship fund, 3D’s founder and executive director Dr. Zodelia Williams said, 3D’s aims to financially support college-bound students with a stipend of $1,000 to help ease the rising costs of college. Thompson is ranked ten out of the entire graduating class at Baldwin High School, Williams said, and will be attending the University of Hawaii for marine biology. State Assemblywoman Judy Griffin and Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé issued citations to Thompson. The Milani Scholarship fund was created to empower and affirm a nation of children that will powerfully impact their community and the world, Williams said. “It’s our goal that this small deposit to further their education will help them actualize their dreams and aspirations,” Williams said in a statement. The Milani Scholarship is named in memory of Milani, whose mother, Lori Ann Mangal, and father, Nathan, carry on her legacy. The scholarship recognizes a graduating senior who has experienced the loss of a significant person in their life and demonstrates resilience and perseverance through community service.

Want relief? Restore the SALT deduction.
i
n 2017, President Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It was supposed to supercharge the economy, bringing new manufacturing jobs to hardhit areas, and no doubt, it brought some success. Job gains weren’t higher than they were during the Obama administration, but there were steady gains — until there weren’t. The latest unemployment figures, released by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, are from March 6 — when unemployment stood at 3.5 percent — but we know that figure is sure to rise as tens of thousands of Americans are forced out of work because of the coronavirus and will file jobless claims. The unemployment rate is only expected to increase. People will need relief. At press time, Congress was debating a

he American Red Cross is urging healthy, eligible people who are feeling well to give blood or platelets to help maintain a sufficient blood supply and prevent shortages as the coronavirus pandemic continues. Even before COVID-19 swept across the country in recent weeks, the cold and flu season had already hurt the nation’s ability to maintain its blood supply, according to the Red Cross. As the number of coronavirus cases grows in the U.S., the number of people eligible to give blood could decrease as well. “We’re asking the American people to help keep the blood supply stable during this challenging time,” said Chris Hrouda,
president of Red Cross Blood Services. “As communities across the country prepare for this public health emergency, it’s critical that plans include a readily available blood supply for hospital patients.” But, Hrouda noted, “As fears of the coronavirus rise, low donor participation could harm blood availability at hospitals, and the last thing a patient should worry about is whether lifesaving blood will be on the shelf when they need it most.” You can make an appointment to donate blood by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling (800) 733-2767. Type O and platelet donations are especially needed now. Donating blood is safe, and people

It should immediately reinstate the SALT deduction. People here will certainly take $1,000 or $2,000, but restoring the deduction would do far more for many homeowners who are suffering because of the coronavirus. Most homeowners accepted higher taxes because they believed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was boosting the economy — and thus their 401(k) plans. Last week we saw the foolishness of Trump’s tradeoff, as the stock market tumbled and those 401(k)’s sank to the level they were when Trump took office. That is, all of the stock market gains realized over the past three-plus years were erased just like that. Now many Long Islanders are stuck with oversized tax bills. The time to act intelligently has come. Give the SALT deduction back — now, not later.
Save a life — give blood, especially now

nearly $2 trillion relief package that, when passed, was expected to put somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000 in each American’s hands. The measure should provide a desperately needed shot in the arm to a national economy that is fast seizing. On Long Island, however, it’s hardly enough. In high-tax regions like New York and California, the weight of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was already causing enormous fiscal strain for many homeowners, who lost all but $10,000 of the federal deduction for state and local taxes, known commonly as the SALT deduction. Loss of that single deduction in high-tax regions has cost people thousands of dollars. Many Long Island taxpayers reported that their federal tax bills rose $3,000, $5,000, $8,000 or more last year. Those bills are not expected to abate this year, unless Congress acts.
State responds to COVID-19 To the Editor: New York state is working around the clock to expand hospital capacity and acquire life-saving medical equipment as we continue to test tens of thousands of New Yorkers for the novel coronavirus. Right now we are facing a generation-defining challenge. But America is America because of our ability to overcome adversity and challenges. I believe that to the bottom of my soul. We will overcome this, get through this and come out even stronger. I am calling on the federal government to implement the Defense Production Act to direct companies to produce medical supplies like ventilators and masks. New York state is scouring the globe for these supplies, but we need more than we can find. Currently, states are competing with other states, hospitals
should not hesitate to give or receive blood, according to the Red Cross. There is no evidence that the coronavirus can be transmitted by blood transfusion, and there have been no reported cases of transfusion transmission for any respiratory virus, including COVID-19. A blood donation takes about an hour from start to finish, but the actual donation only takes eight to 10 minutes. To donate blood, you should have a blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification. People who are at least 17 years old (16 with written parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may donate.

hen the bubonic plague struck England in 1665, a young pastor convinced the people of his villagAe to self-quarantine in an effort to prevent the infection from spreading to neighboring towns. The story of that time became “Year of Wonder,” by Geraldine Brooks. Today, over 300 years later, the story resonates with new meaning. As you might expect, people behaved as humans do in crisis. Some were the toilet paper hoarders of their day. Some turned randi murderous and kreiss mean over food supplies. Many found grace in the crucible of fear and infection. We are now in the throes of a destabilizing national emergency. As we go to press, the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus is increasing hourly. The federal response has been profoundly disorganized, leaving citizens with little access to tests that could inform them about the progress of the disease. Central command is out of touch, literally and metaphorically.
The remarkable thing is how well we are doing — we regular folks who go to work and put food on the table and care for others. Initially, we turned to President Trump for leadership and for an organizing plan to deal with the crisis. But the president has failed us, as he descends into an epic spiral of selfaggrandizement and miscommunication. He doesn’t have the capacity for the humane gesture that this moment demands. The miracle, to me, is that even without the blessing of sane and sound leadership, we, the people, are getting the job done. We are witnessing an incredible validation of the American spirit. Citizens are stepping up, helping neighbors, quarantining themselves when necessary and taking all the steps a functioning federal task force would advise. (Except for the spring breakers in Florida, but they’ll catch up.) We have governors and mayors and municipal leaders at every level who are taking charge of their communities and making sure that schools are closing when necessary, events are postponed, and civil order is maintained. This is a demonstration of democracy at its best.

e’re seeing a validation of the American spirit. People are stepping up.
Letters with other hospitals, and there is significant price gouging. The federal government must nationalize the contracting and acquisition of medical supplies. Non-essential businesses were closed as of 8 p.m. Sunday. Essential businesses like pharmacies, grocery stores, gas stations and more will stay open. I accepted the Army Corps of Engineers’ recommendations for temporary hospital sites in New York state, and we were ready for construction to start Monday. Hospitals at our SUNY campuses in Old Westbury and Stony Brook will be built indoors, with outdoor tent support, and on-site health care staff will stay at the dormitories. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will erect an additional four federal 250-bed hospitals. Each FEMA facility will be fully staffed by the federal government. We are acting to maximize existing hospital capacity. I am requiring all hospitals statewide to develop plans that expand their capacity by at least 50 percent, with the goal of expanding overall capacity by 100 percent. (State regulations on capacity have been temporarily waived.) The state also leased a nursing home in Brooklyn to convert to a 600-bed hospital. Finally, all elective, non-critical surgeries have been canceled, effective March 25, which will free up around a quarter of existing hospital beds. Drug therapy trials were scheduled
No one had to tell The New York Times and The Washington Post to take down the pay walls on their websites so that anyone who needs the news can access it for free. No one had to order the closing of all the social and entertainment venues that vendors shut down themselves to slow the spread of disease. No one had to order people to stay home if they feel sick. One singular hero of the moment is Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. He has spoken truth to power, often and early, deftly calling out the dangerous lies coming from Trump and urging a robust response to Covid-19 while the president was predicting an easy and early end to the pandemic. We are being tested, as individuals and as a nation. According to Fauci, we are in for a rough patch for some months before the virus starts to burn out. If the federal government, specifically the Centers for Disease Control, can get tests out faster and find out how many are sick and where they live, we can begin to mitigate the effects of the pandemic as it spreads, state by state.
I read a piece in The Times by Jon Mooalem about the devastating 9.2 earthquake in Anchorage in 1964. He wrote about the horrific death and destruction, and how people behaved during the aftershocks. Instead of running for safety, they ran into danger to help their neighbors. Ordinary folks were putting out fires and moving beams and filling in at the police department. Mooalem wrote about our present national disaster: “Washing your hands, staying home when you’re sick, limiting travel, keeping yourself healthy, not touching your face — little of what we’re being told to do feels particularly heroic or world-changing … But for a lot of us, it is, in fact, the job that’s in front of us right now — the role that these disordered circumstances are calling each of us, at a minimum, to play… “…There are, and will be more, situations where helping more directly becomes possible and necessary — especially if we’re not getting coherent leadership, or even honesty, from those in charge. But we can’t afford to feel that canceling a school band concert, or suspending a basketball season, is a withering retreat; we must see them as parts of an empowered, collaborative undertaking.” Copyright 2019 Randi Kreiss.
