Monserrate Teron, the former Army nurse a jury last July found guilty of raping his 7-year-old niece, was sentenced this morning to two life terms, plus 30 years on an additional charge. Teron turns 60 in two weeks. The victim’s mother described to the court the day-to-day of her daughters’ harrowing lives since, accusing a large part of Teron’s family as “enablers.” That side of the family again today insisted that Teron is innocent.

The result of that exercise will be a complete re-write of the city’s “Comprehensive Plan,” the first since 2004.

Branson, Missouri’s Lesson to Live Theater ‘In Crisis’

October 8, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

‘The Shepherd of the Hills’ has been running for 63 years and is the most performed outdoor drama in the U.S.

American live theater, especially regional, non-profit theater, is on the verge of collapse. One place to look for ideas is the tourist town of Branson, Missouri. Scholars and theater critics have ignored this mecca of live entertainment that attracts millions of people a year, largely because of its reputation for cheesy performances and political conservatism.

Ron DeSantis thinks the founders would have had a maximum age limits on elected officials if they “could look at this again.” But why didn’t they?

France’s Wrong-Headed Ban of the Abaya in Public Schools

September 29, 2023 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

Residents watch French air force jets fly over a Paris suburb during the Bastille Day military parade on July 14, 2023.

Many critics argue that the abaya is a cultural garment, not a religious one, and should be allowed under laïcité. In practice, though, anything associated with Muslim cultures tends to be considered “religious.” Catholic traditions, meanwhile, are often considered “cultural” – and therefore compatible with laïcité.
