“Then they fell upon each other, like young bulls, in all the glory of youth, with naked fists, with hatred, with desire to hurt, to maim, to destroy.  All the painful, thousand years’ gains of man in his upward climb through creation were lost.  Only the electric light remained, a milestone on the path of the great human adventure.  Martin and Cheese-Face were two savages, of the stone age, of the squatting place and the tree refuge.  They sank lower and lower into the muddy abyss, back into the dregs of the raw beginnings of life, striving blindly and chemically, as atoms strive, as the star-dust if the heavens strives, colliding, recoiling, and colliding again and eternally again.”

–Jack London, from “Martin Eden”.

Save Our Health Care Rally: Local progressives led by Indivisible Flagler are holding a rally to protect the Affordable Care Act from repeal, as proposed in a GOP bill currently trying to win enough support for passage before the July 4 recess. The rally is from noon to 1 p.m. at the northwest corner of State Road 100 in front of Florida Hospital Flagler’s entrance in Palm Coast. A statement from Indivisible’s Diana Becker-LeBrun: “Now that we’ve seen the Senate TrumpCare bill, Americans should ask themselves one simple question: Would this bill harm my family? Unless you are a giant corporation or super wealthy, the answer is clearly yes. The Senate bill keeps the same harmful effects of the House version–it rips coverage away from millions of Americans, eliminates protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions, and increases costs for middle-class families.”

Local Mitigation Strategy Meeting: The Emergency Management staff is holding its multi-jurisdictional quarterly Local Mitigation Strategy public meeting to discuss grant funding, ongoing project progress and updates to Community Rating System program implementation efforts. Anybody interested in attending the meeting or wishing to learn more about mitigation is encouraged to attend or contact the county’s mitigation planner. 1:30 p.m. at Emergency Operations Center 1769 E. Moody Blvd., Bldg 3 Bunnell.

Bus trip through history: Join local author Bill Ryan to learn about historic and interesting county sites on a bus trip sponsored by the Flagler County Historical Society. The adventure begins at the Holden House, 204 East Moody Boulevard in Bunnell at 10 a.m. and ends at 2:30 p.m. The cost is $20 person which does not include lunch at the Bull Creek Fish Camp. To make reservations please call 386-439-5003.

Habitat for Humanity dedicates a home for a family of eight, to which the State Housing Initiatives Partnerships provided $20,000 in assistance, at 28 Ryland Drive, Palm Coast, at 3:30 p.m.

The Flagler County NAACP holds its monthly meeting at 6 p.m., at the African American Cultural Society, 4422 North U.S. 1, Palm Coast.

The last Entrepreneur Night event before the Summer break heads to West Volusia for the first time, and is expecting nearly 200 in attendance.
