The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Thursday, July 8, 2021

July 8, 2021 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

marijuana olympics
Sha’Carri “Richardson, 21, won the women’s 100-meter race at the U.S. track and field trials in Oregon last month,” the Times reports. “She was a favorite to win a medal in Tokyo, and with her colorful hair, vivacious personality and blazing speed she seemed poised to be one of the breakout American stars of the Games. […] Marijuana is legal for recreational use in more than a dozen states, including Oregon, where the trials were held. It is legal for medicinal use in many more. But it is on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of prohibited substances. The drug is banned on race days, but not outside of competition.” Jeff Koterba, CagleCartoons.com.

Today at the editor’s glance: The Flagler Beach City Commission meets at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. Two residents, James Heren and Stephanie Raffo, will be recognized for their efforts to save the life of patron at The Anchor restaurant. Roseanne Stocker will also be recognized for her 22 years of service on the city’s Planning and Architectural Review Board, among numerous other civic and philanthropic involvements. County Attorney Al Hadeed will give commissioners the latest update on the dunes project and its perennial holdouts. Commissioners will discuss beach-access improvements for the disabled: the administration has a few low-cost options. Then there’s this curious little item on the commission’s agenda: Michael Pugliese, a Flagler Beach resident, is requesting that the city commission amend its noise ordinance to require houses that have wind chimes to be “attached to the dwelling.” The request is very vague, but it appears to be an attempt to address wind chimes left to the winds in yards, for the pleasure of it. Tour de France: Stage 12 takes riders and TV tourists from Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux, a little north of Avignon, to Nimes, a flat trip through the beauties of the south of France.




Vaccinations: Appointments for the Pfizer-only clinic at the health department are preferred, but walk-ins will be accepted. Please call 386-437-7350 ext. 0 for scheduling or questions. June 25, 2021. Eighteen pharmacies in Flagler County offer COVID-19 vaccinations, and 12 of these offer Pfizer, which is approved for individuals ages 12 and over. The health department will offer COVID-19 testing on Friday, July 2 between 2:30 and 3:30PM at its main office, 301 Dr. Carter Blvd.in Bunnell. For more information about COVID-19 vaccination and testing efforts, please visit https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/.

“What I hate is good citizenship history. That has wrecked every history book. Now we’re getting, ‘The Hispanics are warm and joyous and have brought such wonder into our lives,’ you know, and before them the Jews, and before them the blacks. And the woman. I mean, cut it out.”

–Gore Vidal, from John Wiener’s “The Scholar Squirrels and the National Security State: An Interview with Gore Vidal,” Radical History Review, Spring 1989.

Asking tough questions is increasingly met with hostility. The political climate—nationally and right here in Flagler County—is at war with fearless reporting. Officials and powerbrokers often prefer echo chambers to accountability. They want news that flatters, not news that informs. They want stenographers. We give them journalism. You know by now, after 16 years, that FlaglerLive won’t be intimidated. We dig. We don't sanitize to pander or please. We report reality, no matter who it upsets. Even you. But standing up to this kind of pressure requires resources. We need a community that values courage over comfort. Stand with us, and help us hold the line. Fund the journalism they don't want you to read. No paywall. But it's not free. Take a moment, become a champion of enlightening journalism. Any amount helps. We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit news organization. Donations are tax deductible.
