No one saw the coronavirus pandemic coming. No one expected it to last more than a handful of weeks. No one could have imagined the terrible death toll it would exact. The past 18 months tested all of us beyond our limits. Baldwinites, however, remain strong. These communities are full of fi ghters. Now we understand just how resilient we are. As we saw in Superstorm Sandy's wake in Stuart Richner 2012, neighbors have been helping neighbors throughout the Covid-19 crisis, delivering food and medical supplies to vulnerable residents, providing meals for the jobless and just checking in on one another. Thankfully, as of this writing in early August, some 80 percent of Nassau County residents had received at least their fi rst dose of the Covid-19 vaccines, and the infection rate had dropped locally about 3 percent. Let us hope and pray it remains at or falls below that level so people remain safe, and we can continue our successful reopening of the economy. That will depend on all of us doing our parts — most importantly, scheduling a vaccination appointment if you have not already made one. Throughout the crisis, the Baldwin Herald has provided invaluable news to the community, including information on institution closings, new safety protocols and, unfortunately, remembrances of lives lost. I want to thank our journalists for their commitment to the community. Our staff, categorized as essential workers by Governor Cuomo, have been out in the fi eld regularly, even during the height of the pandemic, to ensure people who work and live in Baldwin had access to the best and most up-to-date information. Additionally, Richner Communications, the parent company of the Baldwin Herald, was proud to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in small business marketing grants to entrepreneurs across the South Shore, including many in the community. We know small businesses are the lifeblood of any community — especially the Baldwinites — so we are hopeful these funds will help your favorite stores and restaurants get back on their feet. In this edition of our annual community guide, we look at all that is wonderful about Baldwin residents, at the same time that we examine what has changed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Living In Baldwin is a special publication of the Baldwin Herald, hometown newspaper of this community. Living In is published in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, and we are honored to mark another year as the chamber's offi cial publication. We hope you fi nd this issue of Living In Baldwin useful and informative, and that you enjoy reading the Baldwin Herald 52 weeks a year. Be well and be safe. Stuart Richner Publisher
