Ormond woman positive for COVID Cynthia Corsentino was treated in Palm Coast.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

A Volusia County resident who tested positive for COVID-19 has been treated in the intensive care unit at AdventHealth Palm Coast, and was released on March 23.

Cynthia Corsentino, 48, said in an interview aired on Flagler Broadcasting’s “Free For All Friday” radio show on March 20 that she’d been tested on Saturday, March 14, and results came back the next day.

BRIEFS Flagler County woman, 72, tests positive for COVID-19

A 72-year-old Flagler County woman tested positive for COVID-19 and was recorded as Flagler’s first official positive case on the Florida Department of Health’s COVID-19 Data and Surveillance Dashboard the evening of March 22. Three others have since tested positive.

The woman has been hospitalized, and it is not known if her case is travel-related, according to the website.

Another woman who tested positive for COVID-19 and is being treated at AdventHealth Palm Coast is not listed on the state’s website as a Flagler County case because she is a resident of Volusia County, and cases are listed by county of residence.

Around the state, officials had recorded 1,467 positive cases, of which 1,379 were Florida residents. St. Johns has 24 known positive cases, Volusia 19 cases, and Putnam two.

Ormond resident tests positive

We’re STARS in PALM COAST

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The Florida Department of Health had not initially released information that a person was being treated for COVID-19 in Flagler County because the state has been categorizing Florida resident cases by the county in which the residents live, not the one in which they’re being treated. The DOH made the decision to tell the community that a patient is being treated at AdventHealth Palm Coast after Corsentino shared that information in a public post on Facebook.

Corsentino said she’s a single mom who’s on the road a lot for work. “When I got sick, it happened very quickly,” Corsentino said — first sniffles and a runny nose, then a fever of 104 degrees.

She tried to get tested, but medical personnel at first told her she didn’t meet the CDC criteria.

“I was told repeatedly if I had not traveled internationally … that I had no reason to be concerned that this was anything more than a flu bug,” she said.

When she went to an urgent care clinic in Palm Coast, her lungs were in such poor shape that she was sent to the ER, where she was tested.

Her children, who attend Buddy Taylor Middle School and Flagler Palm Coast High, were not initially tested, and were told to wait for symptoms. Her son, Vincent, who attends FPC, has since tested positive, she said later on WNZF. Florida Department of HealthFlagler Administrator Bob Snyder said the protocol is for Volu-

sia’s public health officials to begin “contact tracing,” which means they would examine everyone with whom the COVID-19 patient has been in close contact. He said he would contact the Volusia DOH to understand why it had apparently not been happening.

At the hospital, Corsentino said, she was placed on oxygen therapy and a number of medications. Her lungs were X-rayed.

“Apparently I came close to needing a ventilator, but thank goodness, that was not necessary,” she said.

She was not allowed visitors, including family.

She said residents may need to “advocate a little bit more aggressively” for themselves if they’re feeling serious symptoms.

“You know your body; I knew I was sick,” she said. “I’ve never had 104 fevers in my life, and I just kept doing what they said and stayed home and tried to medicate with over-the-counter meds and stuff and — I would hate for someone else who maybe is older, or not as healthy, to take the wrong advice and not get treated and not get tested in a more aggressive fashion.”

Snyder, speaking on the radio show, said testing criteria are becoming less restrictive as tests become more available. DOHFlagler got its first shipment of 100 test sampling kits March 19.

“I think this was an opportunity for the protocol to change, relative to now indicating whether we have a positive case diagnosed and treated in the county, and yet they don’t live in that county,” Snyder said.

WHAT TO DO  Wash your hands often  Avoid close contact with people who are sick  If you are sick, self-isolate and wear a mask  Cover coughs and sneezes  Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily.

When it comes to Continuity of Care for your loved one, why look anywhere else?

Q+A DR. STEPHEN BICKEL, DOH-FLAGLER MEDICAL DIRECTOR

Coronavirus 101 JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

H

ow does COVID-19 infect people? Are we likely to see a new version of it next year? What should you do if you think you have it? Dr. Stephen Bickel, the medical director of the Florida Department of Health in Flagler County, answered common questions.

A lot of people have been comparing this to the flu. How is this different?

This is like a Rorschach test, and people react to this anyway they want, because it’s such an unknown. But, one, the [flu comparison] is flatly wrong — and the reason for that is that by the most conservative estimates that I’ve seen, the fatality rate, and even maybe more importantly the serious hospitalization rate, is probably a minimum of 10 times the flu.

We’re already seeing, like New York City and Italy, there are places where the hospitals are overwhelmed. That can happen with a really bad flu to a tiny degree, but nothing like this.

So what makes this different?

It has two factors going for it that viruses hardly ever have together. One: It’s highly contagious … but coupled with that is it’s capable of causing very serious illness in many people. The other kinds of viral threats to our world in the last 30 years, usually they’re one or the other. ... There was a very well-respected study that came out of Imperial College; their projection was, absent any control measures, this could infect 81% of the population and cause 2.1 million deaths. ...

Far and away the most serious illnesses are in older people. ...

Influenza can hit really young children really hard; this one doesn’t seem to.

How does this virus get into people, and what does it do once it’s there?

The way it’s transmitted, for the most part, is what’s called droplet transmission.

The infected person coughs, and little droplets with virus particles in them land on certain places, and people inadvertently will be touching those surfaces.

People put their hands on their face about 90 times a day, without knowing it. ... And then they inhale it from there, or swallow it and then it gets into their respiratory tract. It isn’t like people cough or breathe and it goes into air particles and that’s how we get it; when that happens, its called aerosolized.

How does it cause damage?

It really focuses in, when it causes serious illness, on the lower respiratory tract and also the lung tissue adjacent to these airways, and it causes pneumonia. If the invasion is serious enough, the cells get damaged. The tissue fills up with fluid and you can’t exchange oxygen. You can ultimately die, because eventually that causes too much damage to the rest of the body.

Is this something we might see again next year?

Yes. It may mutate a little, so it’s a little less virulent. ... There’s a lot of speculation that if we’re successful in our containment now, that there’s going be another two, three waves of it in the next 12 months. The only thing that really stops these things is herd immunity, either through a vaccine or already having had the infection.

Do people develop immunity after getting it?

We really don’t know yet ... but it’s usually happened.

When this is transmitted, to what extent is this something

ABOUT TESTS AND MASKS ...

“Anyone who gets an upper respiratory infection these days should presume that they have or could have COVID. They should isolate themselves — if they’re in a home with other people, to a room. Those people should wear masks ... and, until they’re over their illness, they should presume they’re infectious.

“It would be nice to be able to test all those people, but it would overwhelm our testing capacity. For a healthy, young person, the approach is the same, testing or not. ... What should they do while they’re isolating themselves? Well, just do normal measures to deal symptomatically with an upper respiratory infection … monitor their temperature, and watch for the warning sign of COVID — shortness of breath. If that happens, it could be a sign you’re starting to get pneumonia. That’s when to really think about getting medical advice.

“One thing I wanted to talk about is the masks: People think, or some people think, that wear-

that’s being mostly passed among family members or people living and working together, versus, say, someone picking it up from a stranger in the supermarket?

It does seem to require some degree of close contact; it’s not just a random encounter. ... If you’re living with someone who has it, it’s going to be hard not to get it. But you don’t generally get it walking by someone in the supermarket.

How much should we worry about getting this from things we bring into our homes? Like if we order pizza, and the pizza delivery guy has it when he hands you your box of pizza?

It’s not zero, but it’s not a large risk. But if you want to make it even less, the way to do it is every time people come in front outside ... thoroughly wash your hands, and if you touch the same box again ... wash again.

What’s the future in Flagler?

ing the mask protects the one wearing the mask. The purpose of the mask is for the one who has the infection ... to keep them from coughing and spewing out the virus.

“The only exception to that is, health care workers working closely with patients are advised to wear the masks. ... The average person shouldn’t feel like wearing a mask will protect them. The reason is, it’s not an aerosol-transmitted infection; it’s a droplettransmitted infection, and that’s why handwashing is such a big deal.”

— DR. STEPHEN BICKEL

I don’t know if our government would have pushed harder two, three weeks ago, if the public would have stood for it. But now, I’ve been pretty pleased with state, local agencies. ... There’s been a lot of really impressive activity in the last couple weeks, and also, we’re getting into a pretty strict containment strategy ... which is kind of the level you need to really stop this. I think we’re close. The thing I worry about, though, is the last month, what’s already happened: We had Bike Week, we had Spring Break — there could be just thousands of cases incubating in Florida right now. And these containment measures seem to work with a 20- to 30-day lag, so we could have a real spike. We might have a rough month. Potentially enough to overwhelm some of our hospitals.

“I just urge people to take this seriously. There are many, many people who are going to die from this. And some of the younger people think, ‘Oh, it’s no big deal.’ And that’s generally true — for them. But if they have a grandparent around, and help to spread this, it’s not good for anybody.

We’re really in a kind of a war.”

Hospitals gear up for COVID-19 No mask shortages here, hospital officials say.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Restricted visitation, no elective medical procedures — two new policies instated at AdventHealth Daytona Beach, AdventHealth Palm Coast and Halifax Health hospitals in light of the threat of spreading COVID-19. All three hospitals have reported at least one case of coronavirus.

AdventHealth began restricting patient visitation across Central Florida on Monday, March 23, only permitting exceptions for underaged and obstetric patients, as well as patients with extenuating circumstances such as endof-life. Halifax Health began similar restrictions Wednesday.

Due to an executive order issued by Gov. Ron DeSantis on March 20, all hospitals and doctor’s offices are prohibited from providing “any medically unnecessary, non-urgent or non-emergency procedure or surgery.”

For AdventHealth, that frees up the personal protective equipment (such as masks and shields), and renders them available for doctors and nurses to use when examining a possible case of COVID-19, said AdventHealth Palm Coast CEO Dr. Ron Jimenez.

AdventHealth is isolating anyone who could potentially be infected with coronavirus.

That’s one of the reasons behind restricting visitors.

“Obviously, the hospital is a high-risk place, so we don’t want to expose a visitor to a potentially infectious patient, and we obviously don’t want the opposite to happen, where a potentiallyinfected visitor visits a patient that might not otherwise be infected,” Jimenez said.

In a statement, John Guthrie, vice president of Communications for Halifax Health, said his hospital is opening an alternate treatment area to screen patients with respiratory symptoms.

“It is our objective to not have patients with respiratory symptoms enter the hospital unless it is medically necessary,” Guthrie said.

If you test positive for COVID-19 after being tested elsewwhere, don’t come to the hospital. Jimenez said those patients should isolate themselves in their homes.

As concerns of mask shortages rise nationwide, Jimenez said AdventHealth is “well-stocked” across the company. At a county press conference Tuesday, Halifax Health doctors said they had an adequate supply too.

“But there’s always concern that if supply doesn’t keep up with demand, then there could be a shortage in the future,” Jimenez said. “So we’re trying to think ahead with regard to being prepared for any potential issue that hits us with regard to running out of equipment.”

Jimenez said people in the community should assume everyone they encounter has COVID-19 and act accordingly.

“If everyone did that, the virus would end up dwindling out relatively quickly,” Jimenez said.

City to locals: Stay home if you can

Seniors 65+ asked to shelter in place Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order March 24 directing the Florida surgeon general and Florida health officer to issue an advisory urging anyone over 65 to stay home and to take measures to limit their risk of exposure to COVID-19.

Flagler County residents, two men and two women, had tested positive with COVID-19 as of March 25, including a Flagler Beach police officer. Of those, two were Palm Coast residents, according to the Florida Department of Health. One case was travel-related, one was not travel-related, and two were unkown.

As the city government adjusts to having an unprecedented number of staff members working remotely, and alters procedures to protect those who can’t, Mayor Milissa Holland implored residents to stay home if at all possible.

The city issued a voluntary shelter-in-place order on March 23, and closed parks, trails and associated facilities.

“Please consider and take seriously this request from your city,” Holland said.

“We’re doing this not to take away from your quality of life.

But we want to make sure

we ultimately get through this, and the only way we can absolutely be certain of doing that is if each one of us shelters in place and only goes out for the required necessities.”

Palm Coast’s demographic skews older, placing many in the high-risk group, she noted.

The city government has shifted staff members around to new responsibilities because of the virus.

Some procedures have been changed to accommodate the CDC’s recommended 6-foot minimum distance between people. For instance, public

works employees typically go out two to a truck. Now, one will take a truck and another will follow in a car. Parks & Recreation staff have been creating YouTube exercise and craft videos for residents, (go to https://bit.ly/2vQCPSU).

It’s unclear when or how the City Council will be able to meet again. The city has contacted the governor’s office to ask what to do if an issue requires a council meeting. The council would prefer to meet remotely, Holland said, but, if that’s not possible, could maintain the CDC’s 6-foot limit at the dais.

“We want to make sure we ultimately get through this, and the only way be can absolutely be certain of doing that is if every one of us shelters in place and only goes out for the required necessities.”

Flagler County Volunteer Services is collecting donations of personal protective equipment (PPE) and spare toilet paper at Rymfire Elementary School on March 24, 25 and 26, calling on medical offices and individuals to donate what they can.

Drop-off times are 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The most-needed PPE items are gloves, face masks and isolation/procedure gowns.

The PPE is being donated to first responders, assisted living facilities and public health care professionals, and the toilet paper is provided to those most in need.

“Toilet paper keeps flying off the shelves, and we have a need to get some to our most vulnerable community members,” Flagler County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord said in a Flagler County government news release. “They need to stay home – not going out to the store daily in search of toilet paper.”

Flagler County, local cities close beaches, parks, trails Associated facilities like public restrooms are also closed due to COVID-19.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Acting on the advice of public safety staff and the Florida Department of Health in Flagler County, Flagler County and Flagler Beach both closed their beaches at 6 a.m. Monday, March 23. Boardwalks and the Flagler Beach pier are also closed.

The city of Palm Coast, similarly, closed parks, trails, recreations centers and associated facilities like pavilions, restrooms and park parking lots.

“People have been extremely respectful of the order,” Flagler Beach Police Chief Matt Doughney said March 24.

He went out after the closure was enacted, and took pictures documenting empty beaches.

“There’s nobody — nobody on the boardwalk, nobody on the pier, nobody on the beach. ... It was busy just the day before the closure; that’s one of the reasons why it was closed,” he said.

Flagler Beach Police Department officers have been patrolling the beach, with the help of a Sheriff’s Office deputy using an all-terrain vehicle, and the few people they have found on the beach just hadn’t heard about the closure.

“When they were asked to leave, they were very respectful and just left,” Doughney said. “The whole purpose of that [patrol] is just to educate, educate, educate.”

When officers approach people, Doughney said, residents should know that the department is doing what it can to maintain social distancing, and each officer’s temperature is taken when they report to work each day.

As people stay home, he added, they should make sure to lock their doors and close and lock their garage doors — a thief stole a fishing pole and pressure washer from an open garage last Friday — and watch out for scammers trying to profit off the pandemic.

“There’s going be a lot of misinformation, especially when it comes to testing or cures, so we’re asking folks to be extremely cautious,” he said. “This is when people get scammed out of money.”

Governor, we need economic hope This is now a two-front war. Unless there is decisive action, Florida’s economy is facing an epic catastrophe.

MATT WALSH AND JOEL SCHLEICHER

At some point in a governor’s term, he or she will face a major crisis. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ test is COVID-19. He will be remembered forever for how he led the state through this crisis.

And at this point, it’s time for Gov. DeSantis to step up.

Florida’s economy is on the verge of an epic catastrophe.

Unless the economic side of this crisis is addressed swiftly, decisively and with a spirit of hope, we would go so far as to say the damage to the families of the 9 million working Floridians will be larger and more severe than the health effects of the virus on Florida’s 21 million population.

We know the first priority of the coronavirus crisis was to address the health front, but over the past two weeks it became clear the second front of this war — the economic front — was rising with the same virulence.

It is no exaggeration to say every business owner in Florida is looking at his or her cash balance with a fear that is bordering on helpless panic, asking, How long can I last?

How long can I keep paying my employees so they can feed their families?

Florida has 2,333,578 for-

profit and not-for-profit businesses. Ninety-nine percent — or 2,310,242 — have fewer than 100 employees, most with fewer than 20. The vast majority are stressed about survival.

Their employees are working at home today, wondering: Will I have a job tomorrow?

Let’s get even more granular on the most pronounced effect on Florida’s economy. Consider this: 3,068,000 Floridians (moms, dads, etc.) are employed in tourism, hospitality, restaurants, retail trade and affiliated trade and wholesale businesses. That’s 34% of all jobs, the most in the state.

These are the businesses that typically have the least financial wherewithal to withstand a shock like this. These businesses need immediate assistance — not two weeks from now. They need it now!

While our public officials are acting out of a rational, heightened sense of caution, there seems to be little costbenefit analysis. To be blunt, we are suggesting that public officials are acting hastily and with emotion more than with facts. Understandably, it appears they are afraid to be accused of not following the official crowd.

We know the above statements will bring criticism. But we are urging Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Senate President Bill

Six steps to save Florida’s economy 1) Call House and Senate leaders back to Tallahassee and work on immediate economic measures to re-open our economy.

2) Convene a Business Task Force, led by the governor, of no more than 10 business executives and owners. They should be people who have been through crises before and represent primarily small businesses of fewer than 500 employees.

3) Because Florida’s finances are strong, the state should issue up to $10 billion in 50-year bonds to fund one-time initiatives. Now.

4) To save Florida’s restaurant industry, we should immediately provide every voter a $100 or $150 debit card issued by the state — a $1.3 billion or $1.5 billion

Galvano and House Speaker Jose Oliva to demonstrate Patton-like leadership. They need to show Floridians they know they are fighting a two-front war and that they know they must turn as much attention to the economic front as they are to the health front.

Our state leaders need to give Floridians hope — hope that they are not going to end up in breadlines and broke. As

stimulus. The card could be used for food only — no alcohol or sales tax — at any registered restaurant in the state for 30 days only.

Unused cards expire and the money would go back to state.

5) Start a second business group to work with Disney World, Universal, other resorts and hoteliers, cruise lines and airlines to bring back pent-up demand after the crisis. Reduce airport landing fees and abate sales taxes on some services.

6) Engage the property and insurance carriers that have claims administration capabilities in place to process business interruption claims that could be backstopped and paid for by the state.

Q +A RICK STALY, FLAGLER COUNTY SHERIFF

COVID-19 and law enforcement JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

H

ow is the COVID-19 coronavirus affecting local law enforcement in Flagler County? Who’s enforcing the governor’s executive orders? And how are deputies keeping themselves — and the people they’re interacting with — safe from the virus? Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly shared his views March 19.

So, perhaps we should start with a broad overview of how COVID is affecting your agency and local crime. What are you seeing?

So, our call volume in our communications center has dramatically increased, mostly with questions, but also concerns. I’ve noticed that our calls that deputies have to respond to appear to be increasing. That’s probably because people are staying home now, and they’re seeing things or reporting them because they’re starting to get on each others’ nerves.

Are you expecting to see more domestic violence cases, since people are cooped up with each other?

I would hope not, but we see that during hurricanes, so I would anticipate that we will.

And there is a new set of screening questions that the communications center is asking, right? What’s that process like?

...We are asking, “Do you want to see or speak with a deputy on your call,” and then we explain why we are asking the additional questions. And my dispatchers are telling me, for the most part, people are understanding.

And if it’s an emergency, we’re going to get law enforcement or paramedics in route immediately.

What are the screening questions?

“Does anyone on scene have a fever or any respiratory symptoms, coughing or breathing difficulty? Does anyone on scene have any flulike symptoms? Has anyone on scene traveled to a location with confirmed community transmission or have had close contact with a patient with known or suspected COVID-19?” Once we get those answers, we’ll tell the paramedic or law enforcement … “PPE, personal protective equipment, is recommended.”

So, how is this changing how deputies are interacting with each other or the public?

We’ve put out all the Department of Health recommendations and the CDC recommendations. ... We’ve authorized them to do social distancing on calls — which they’re not going to be able to always do; when you do traffic stops or make an arrest, you’re not going do social distancing.

But they will stand farther away; on calls, they may ask people to come outside [their homes].

Have you made any changes to things like paid time off?

We have a very robust benefits package here, so we have paid sick time that they can use. ... If we have anyone who we believe may have encountered someone with COVID-19, they’re not going have to use their sick time for that; that will be paid time

off. ... The two deputies who were under quarantine, their tests came back negative. They were cleared yesterday.

So with these executive orders that are coming from the state, like the one about restaurant and bar restrictions, what role does the Sheriff’s Office have in enforcing those, if any? Is that you, or the state that handles that?

It’s mostly a state thing, although there is a statute that in a declared health emergency like we have now, if people fail to follow the executive orders of the governor, it’s actually a second degree misdemeanor. With that said, the direction I’ve given to our deputies is that we’re going to educate — we are not going make an arrest.

If the order is given to close the beaches — for instance if Flagler Beach, which I understand is monitoring things day-to-day, decides to shut them down — does the Sheriff’s Office have a role in enforcing that?

...It would just depend on how the executive order or local declaration is made. ... If the cities need help, then we would provide it. If the county does it, then we would be the enforcement arm.

Hopefully it would just be an education requirement; the last thing we want to do is make arrests on these things.

The community’s already concerned. There is fear, and frankly, panic; you can see that on the store shelves. I’m going into restaurants; I’m trying to help them stay afloat. I went into one restaurant for lunch ... and there were seven people in there.

Usually, it was packed. And my party was three of the seven, and you could see and feel the concern written all over the staff.

And the waitress said to me and our table, “I’m not concerned about getting COVID-19, I’m concerned about how will I pay my bills.” And I think that’s the real fear in the community right now. That, and the unknown.

Because with a hurricane, you can watch it coming and you can prepare, and you can watch it leave. Here, this invisible enemy, you don’t know where it is and you don’t know when it’s going to be over. [Editor’s note: When this interview was conducted, restaurants were allowed to remain open with reduced seating capacity, and beaches were still open. A new executive order has since restricted restaurants to takeout or delivery only, and beaches are now closed.]

If the beaches are closed, would violations of that order also be second-degree misdemeanors?

Yes.

What are you seeing in terms of crime?

So far, what I’ve seen in the community is there’s less traffic. ... I’m not seeing anything significant change in arrests. I wish the criminals would take some time off, but we’re still making arrests, so obviously they’re not. If they’re going to commit a crime, they’re going be arrested. ... If they’re arrested, we ask them the same questions I told you from the communications center. …

We’re immediately meeting all new arrests at the jail before they’re brought in, and taking their temperature and asking these questions as a secondary screening.

So they’re asked the screening questions twice?

Correct.

Are there any special measures at the jail to keep people separated?

No; we did have one case — he had a respiratory ailment, and he was put in isolation in the medical ward. And that cleared up; it obviously was not COVID-19, it was just an infection. ... We do have the ability to clear out two of our housing sections, part of the pod, and quarantine in there, if we need to. The other thing the jail has done is we’ve done a lot of cleaning.

Are changes in procedure at the courthouse having much of an effect on things at the jail?

There are no inmates being taken to the courthouse for anything; everything is being done through our video visitation and electronic means. ... It means we have to move more people around in the jail, so they can go into the room that has this capability to communicate with live view and sound with the judges.

Schools prepare virtual Flagler Schools distance learning starts March 30 mental health counseling End of course tests have Also: Administration looks at adjustments to staff roles, but funding remains to avoid layoffs.

been canceled.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Flagler Schools is preparing for virtual learning beginning March 30, but what about mental health counseling and other guidance services?

There is a plan for that.

John Fanelli, coordinator of student supports and behavior, said the district is considering different virtual platforms with which students will be able to “hear and see their guidance counselor or mental health counselor and speak with them directly.”

Students who have been work directly with counselors in the past are in the district’s database, and they have their own weekly appointments already set up, so the district can reach out to them and create a similar schedule using a virtual platform.

“If a new student or a parent says, ‘My child needs to talk to somebody,’ we’re working on setting up a system to address those referrals through email or the phone,” Fanelli said.

In the meantime, if your child or grandchild needs to talk to someone, Flagler Schools’ Yasmin Figueras is coordinating those requests. Call her at 4377526, ext. 1268, or email figuerasy@flaglerschools.com.

STAFF ADJUSTMENTS

In addition to finding strategies for effective online learning, the district is also exploring plans for reassigning some employees, according to Community Information Specialist Jason Wheeler.

“If we’re not transporting kids, what do our bus drivers do?”

Wheeler said. “And (Superintendent Jim Tager) wants to make sure all of our employees continue to work and continue to get paid.

That’s the discussion right now among the executive team.”

Food Services employees won’t be serving lunch in cafeterias, but they will be serving food at graband-go locations.

He added that the district is funded through the school year, so there isn’t a danger of employees going unpaid.

Flagler Schools is preparing for its transition to virtual learning this coming week, Superintendent James Tager wrote in a letter to parents and staff March 23.

“No matter what classroom setting your child is in as we begin Virtual Learning on March 30, our teachers will communicate with their students to outline the procedures and expectations for this type of instruction,” Tager wrote in the letter.

Students will still be graded on their work and attendance, and will receive credit for courses they complete. Dual-enrolled students should work with their college to determine how coursework will proceed.

END-OF-COURSE TESTING

All year-end testing is canceled, but the Florida Department of Education has provided guidelines. For more details, see the online version of this story at www.palmcoastobserver.com.  Current seniors: If a senior is expected to graduate in spring 2020 and has not met the exit criteria for Algebra I EOC and/ or Grade 10 ELA FSA, or earned a concordant score, this criteria will be waived. However, students still must earn the necessary credits and meet the 2.0 GPA

requirement to graduate.  Grade 3 promotion: Promotion decisions should be made in consultation with parents, teachers, and school leaders based on the students’ classroom performance and progress monitoring data.  30% for final grade: Districts have the discretion to determine whether district-developed EOC assessments are necessary. Common District Finals also will not be administered.

COMPUTERS AND INTERNET

Students may use their home computers or school-issued laptops for virtual learning, and the district will provide temporary devices for students who don’t already have one, including for K-3 students and for students who only have access to a device at school during the day, Tager wrote.

“The content and platforms we are using during this time are web-based and can be accessed through most laptops, computers, Chromebooks or tablets,” Tager wrote. He added that the district will provide a list of needed apps later in the week.

Spectrum is offering free broadband and Wi-Fi for 60 days to homes with K-12 or college students who do not already have a Spectrum broadband subscription. Installation fees will be waived. To enroll, call 1-844488-8395.

Spectrum will also open its Wi-Fi hotspots for public use, and the district is partnering with T-Mobile and Sprint to provide hotspots to families who need them. Some cell services are also offering more data and hotspot access through cell phones, and residents are encouraged to check with their cell provider.

A SENSE OF COMMUNITY One challenge with virtual learning is how to maintain a sense of community, said Community Information Specialist Jason Wheeler said.

He said he recently shared a list of 20 ideas that principals can employ to keep school spirit high. For example, during a school spirit week, families can post pictures on social media of their children wearing their school T-shirts.

“How do we maintain that sense of community when we’re spread out all over the place?” he said. “I think that’s vital ... Our families are connected with their schools.”

Already, Wheeler said, there is evidence of teachers and staff helping each other as part of the larger community among district employees.

“Our teachers will be prepared,” he said.

Flagler Schools begins grab-and-go lunch service

atie Crooke pressed her gloved hands against the passenger window of an SUV to greet two kindergarten students. Because of social distancing and school closures during the coronavirus outbreak, it was the closest she’d be able to get to a hug.

“They’re my babies,” said Crooke, principal of Old Kings Elementary School, as she helped distribute grab-and-go lunches alongside other Flagler Schools Food Services employees on March 23, at Flagler Palm Coast High School. “It’s pretty emotional. I’m so used to seeing them and hugging them every single day.”

FPC is one of four distribution sites — along with Buddy Taylor Middle, Bunnell Elementary and Indian Trails Middle schools — set up to provide food to any child in Flagler County, as the summer feeding program has gotten off to an early start. Food Services Director Angie Bush said the program is funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Children must be present to receive the food.

“We’re ready to carry this forward indefinitely,” Bush said, “as long as we have food and staff.”

The meals are free and can be picked up between 10 a.m. and noon each weekday until further notice. They prepared to serve 300 per school per day, and

“For many of our kids, the school meals are the best meals they get. So to keep that going for the families is important.”

number were low on the first day.

Some families may not have gotten the word, and some may have been scared to leave home.

“When states and countries are locking down and saying not to leave the confines of their homes, it’s a little scary,” Bush said. “But for many of our kids, the school meals are the best meals they get.

So to keep that going for the families is important.”

She also praised the staff involved in distribution.

“We have a lot of people with amazingly huge hearts,” Bush said.

As the time passed on the first day the food was offered, the Food Services staff at FPC cheered as vehicles approached.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION SITES

At schools: Flagler Palm High, Bunnell Elementary, Buddy Taylor Middle and Indian Trails Middle school from 10 a.m. to noon weekdays Community centers: One bus will be at Hidden Trails Community Center from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and then travel to the Haw Creek Community Center where meals will be available from 11 to 11:30 a.m. The second bus will be at Carver Gym from 10 to 10:30 a.m. and then the Espanola Community Center from 11 to 11:30 a.m.

Who: All children up to age 18. Children must be present to pick up the food.

Details: If there are any questions about this program, please contact Flagler Schools Food Services at 386-437-7526, ext. 1155.

“I love doing this,” said Louise McCourty, a Food Services staff member dressed in a gray chef’s jacket. “We just want to know the kids are being fed. I even tell some of them, ‘Tell your neighbors.’ We are happy to serve them.”

Meanwhile, at Old Kings Elementary School, staff and administration are busy preparing for virtual learning districtwide.

Crooke stepped away to help with distribution, and she’s glad she did because of the small, surprising moments she shared with her students.

“I got some smiles,” Crooke said.

Tired of being cooped up at home because of the coronavirus outbreak, at least five people decided to put their extra energy to good use.

Responding to Flagler Volunteer Services’ call for help, five volunteers gathered for the afternoon shift on March 19, at the Government Services Building, stuffing envelopes to help Flagler Schools get the word out about school choice scholarship options. About 6,000 envelopes needed to be sent out by April 1, according to Flagler Schools Community Information Specialist Jason Wheeler, so it was a big help to get volunteers to make a dent in the pile.

Volunteer Lelia Hattersly wore her “God is for you” T-shirt and explained that her church, Epic, always encourages its members to serve the community. “We go out and serve,” she said.

Alaina Rumrill also volunteered. She’s a Matanzas High School student with a goal of volunteering for 300 hours; she’s at about 100 so far.

Flagler Palm Coast High School student Briana Ivy was there “simply to help,” she said. “Also, I’ve been cleaning my house over and over, so this is a different setting. I hate being bored, so I wanted to be productive and help.”

Fellow FPC student Dylan Harrell also helped stuff envelopes to fulfill service hours requirements.

Stefanie Donaghy volunteered because her hours at work had been cut back.

But why volunteer rather than sitting at home watching Netflix?

“I’ll do that later,” she said.

Wheeler was happy with the turnout.

“We see this all the time,” he said. “When we have a need for a quick amount of people to do stuff like this, Flagler Volunteer Services is on the ball, right then and there.”

In the past, he has seen volunteers staff the county’s call center to answer hurricane-related questions.

“I think our community is spectacular,” Wheeler said. “Even in the face of a pandemic, we have volunteers ready to help us out by doing something that has nothing to do with it. They’re gracious to come and help us out.”

THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 2020

hristina Brouse was set to run her first ever half marathon — and then the coronavirus canceled it. Rather than let her training go to waste, however, she ran a 13.1-mile route around her neighborhood and was surprised at the finish line (her driveway) by her children and husband, who had created a banner to cheer her on.

After six years of running 5Ks, Brouse, a Palm Coast resident, made a goal in January 2020 to run her first half marathon. She paid to compete in the Tomoka Half Marathon, scheduled for March 21, but her training was not going well.

“She really wanted to quit,” said her husband, Eddie Brouse.

“She was really struggling.” But their oldest daughter, Abbie, who runs cross country for Matanzas High School, gave Christina “pointers and motivational talks,” Eddie Brouse said. Another friend coached her up as well, and Christina Brouse decided to give it one last push and to compete.

Owner: Grants could save restaurants Lulgjuraj: Most businesses like his can’t afford loans.

MEGAN FARRELL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

last year) and considering the major disruptions to businesses caused by the construction on State Road A1A, Lulgjuraj feels that the state will need to provide grants to restaurants.

He said the business loans that are being offered are not desirable.

“We can’t afford to take on any more debt,” he said. “None of us want a loan. When we get back on our feet, we’re going to be working 80-100 hours a week” even without having to pay back a loan.

“Everyone thinks we’re rolling in it, but we are hit by a disaster every year.”

He added that his inventory of food is equivalent to his cash. To make sure it doesn’t go to waste, he’s been giving away meals to first responders and allowing his employees to go “shopping” for

free in the kitchen.

“We all need to take care of the people we know we can take care of,” he said. “This is our community, and it really makes me sick that a lot of businesses are going out of business. … There’s a certain threshold where you’re going to be irrecoverable.”

He said that he has been encouraged by the responsiveness of Sheriff Rick Staly, Flagler Beach Mayor Linda Provencher, Flagler Beach City Manager Larry Newsom and Flagler Beach Police Chief Matt Doughney. He also said U.S. Sen. Rick Scott and Florida Rep. Paul Renner have been in touch with him on the phone.

“We’ll be able to find a way to recoup,” Lulgjuraj said, “but it’s going to be a battle.”

Fun lessons for kids at home

EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Johnny Lulgjuraj prepares food for free for first responders. He has also gotten creative — including giving away a roll of toilet paper to the first 100 deliver orders — but business is still struggling in Flagler Beach.

First, it was, “Stay open, but limit the dining room to 50% capacity.”

Then, it was, “Close the dining area, but allow take out.”

Johnny Lulgjuraj has been frustrated by the frequent changes he’s been getting as co-owner of Oceanside Beach Bar and Grill in Flagler Beach. It makes it hard to survive during the coronavirus outbreak, and the government at some level will need to provide grants to help restaurants if they are going to survive, he said.

Even following the guidelines of the state doesn’t satisfy some people who feel social distancing should be more extreme.

“We tried pickup delivery curbside,” he said in a March 23 interview in a dining room full of upside down chairs but no customers. “We were testing things out, and I’m getting bashed on social media by people saying that’s not far enough. … It’s a lose-lose-lose all around.”

Delivery has been slow to catch on because people already have the habit of calling Domino’s or other places that they usually use for delivery, he said.

Fortunately, Oceanside is coming off one of its most profitable Bike Weeks ever. But considering the multiple hurricanes in recent years (including having to close for five days as a precaution during the Hurricane Dorian scare

Captain’s log: Day ... Wait, what day is it again?

Some days are good. We eat three healthy meals, go on a family walk and organize something.

Other days look like this: Me: What time is it?

Brady: 10:15 a.m.

Me: Yeah, it’s late enough for pizza.

For those of us working from home with our kiddos, days can seemingly flow into each other.

Cook, clean, work, repeat. Now on top of that we have to home school?

As a former kindergarten teacher, I can assure you that one of the best ways for children to learn is through play. Play helps the development of the fundamental skills we need in adult life. Just like we as adults need to work through a process to fully understand it, so do children.

This is a great opportunity for us to share real life lessons while we’re home with our children.

For example, a mom I know has given her children change. Each snack in the pantry has a price tag on it. The children have to

count out exact change and pay for the snack. This allows for the children to learn both how to count money and budgeting skills.

Another mom I know has taken to preparing meals with her family. It’s a group effort, and they work on measurements and following directions. These, too, are important skills children will use later in life.

There are other ways to brighten your and your children’s day while also sneaking in some education. Grab sidewalk chalk and practice writing sight words outside. Write a sentence and have your little one illustrate it.

One thing we have been doing in our house is daily dance parties. We put on our Alexa and dance and laugh! It’s been the highlight of my week. Music is a fun and important part of a child’s education.

Remember, learning doesn’t have to look like children sitting at desks quietly. And if all else fails, put on some TV and cuddle up on the couch. Trust that you’re doing an amazing job, Mama!

Enjoy the snuggles. Listen to their giggles. Find peace in the chaos because, soon enough, we’ll be back to our day to day lives and will miss these special moments we have now.

Only in the darkness can you see the stars.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

Our community is going through a difficult time right now.

We want you to know that we’re here with you and we have your back.
