The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Thursday, July 22, 2021

July 22, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

GOP Newspeak by Pat Bagley, The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah.
GOP Newspeak by Pat Bagley, The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah.

Today at the Editor’s glance: Early Voting continues in the special election for Palm Coast mayor, culminating with Election Day on July 27. Early voting is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily at three locations: the Supervisor of Elections Office at the Government Services Building, 1769 East Moody Boulevard, Bunnell, the Flagler County Public Library, 2500 Palm Coast Pkwy NW, Palm Coast, and the Palm Coast Community Center, 305 Palm Coast Parkway NE. If you are a registered voter in Palm Coast, whether Democratic, Independent, Republican or belonging to any minor party, you are eligible to vote for mayor. You may also choose any one of the three early voting locations. Early voting ends at 6 p.m. on July 24. More details at the Elections Supervisor’s site. For more background on the election and links to all the FlaglerLive candidate interviews and articles on the candidates, go here. In court, Drug Court normally convenes on Thursday, but not today, as Circuit Judge Terence Perkins has no court duties all week. Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly is hosting an award ceremony for exemplary employees at 3 p.m. at the Jury Assembly Room on the first floor of the Flagler County courthouse, 1769 East Moody Boulevard in Bunnell. The Flagler Beach City Commission, recovered or not from its hours-long budget workshop on Wednesday, meets at 5:30 p.m. Commissioners may again discuss the controversial decision to end July 4 fireworks and replace them with New Year’s Eve fireworks. The commission will possibly go the route of a committee, soliciting views from the public, before settling on a final decision. Holland Park Splash Pad closed again today: the splash pad’s filtering system has been bedeviled by problems since it opened in mid-May. It will be closed again today, the city announced, but for a different reason: “The contractors were onsite last week regarding an outstanding warranty issue that has since intensified, requiring the immediate inspection. The rubber pad surface of the splash pad is cracking and deteriorating in some areas which could become a tripping hazard. The City’s priority is to ensure the safety of everyone at the splash pad.” The playground and the rest of the park remain open of course.

 




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. 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 department is at 301 Dr. Carter Blvd.in Bunnell. For more information about COVID-19 vaccination and testing efforts, please visit https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/.

“His brilliantly idiosyncratic fiction has travestied everyone from Moses to Lin-Manuel Miranda, and laid a foundation for the freewheeling genre experiments of writers such as Paul Beatty, Victor LaValle, and Colson Whitehead. Yet there’s always been more to Reed than subversion and caricature. Laughter, in his books, unearths legacies suppressed by prejudice, élitism, and mass-media coöptation. The protagonist of his best-known novel, “Mumbo Jumbo,” is a metaphysical detective searching for a lost anthology of Black literature whose discovery promises the West’s collapse amid “renewed enthusiasms for the Ikons of the aesthetically victimized civilizations.” It’s a future that Reed has worked tirelessly to realize. Mastermind of a decades-long insurgency of magazines, anthologies, small presses, and nonprofit foundations, he’s led the fight for an American literature that is truly “multicultural”—a term that he did much to popularize, before it, too, was coöpted. Through it all, Reed has asserted the vitality of America’s marginalized cultures, especially those of working-class African Americans. “We do have a heritage,” he once thundered. “You may think it’s scummy and low-down and funky and homespun, but it’s there. I think it’s beautiful. I’d invite it to dinner.”

–Julian Lucas in a profile of Ishmael Reed, The New Yorker, July 19, 2021.

    When I read anything about Holland Park, I can’t stop saying to myself (and now others) “What a wonderful asset this place is for our community!” Those who have not had the joy should stop by to see the community it creates by bringing together so many young families who have been so terribly isolated in the past year Those who have not had the joy should watch and listen to the laughter and screams of the children, the unbounded enthusiasm of special needs kids in an environment that at once keeps them safe and allows them the freedom to play and roam.

    No dollar figure could ever capture what Holland Park means to our community!
