The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Sunday, May 8, 2022

May 8, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Right to privacy in danger by Kevin Siers, The Charlotte Observer
Right to privacy in danger by Kevin Siers, The Charlotte Observer.



Weather: Sunny. Highs in the upper 80s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Sunday Night: Mostly clear in the evening, then becoming partly cloudy. Lows in the lower 60s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph.

Today at the Editor’s Glance:

Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 1 to 4 p.m. and organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.

City Repertory Theatre stages “Waiting for Godot” at 3 p.m.  Performances will be in CRT’s black box theater at City Marketplace, 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B207, Palm Coast. Tickets are $20 adults and $15 students, available at crtpalmcoast.com, by calling 386-585-9415, or at the venue just before showtime. See the preview: “‘Waiting for Godot’ Finally Arrives as Palm Coast’s City Rep Stages Beckett’s Absurdist Masterpiece.”

“Proof,” the David Auburn play, is staged at the Flagler Playhouse, 301 E Moody Blvd, Bunnell. 2:30 p.m., Tickets are $15 to $20. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Tony Award for Best Play and Drama Desk for Best Play. David Auburn’s first play is a play about family, mental health and math. Catherine, a grad student in mathematics, has found a solution to a previously unsolvable proof. At the same time she has been caring for her father, a brilliant mathematician in decline. With the proof as a fulcrum, Catherine must come to terms with her discovery and her father’s legacy. This show contains foul language.




Navy Bombing in the Ocala National Forest: Navy training schedules indicate that inert and live bombing will take place at the Pinecastle Range Complex located in the Ocala National Forest in coming days. Bombings at times can be heard in Flagler-Palm Coast. The bombings are scheduled as follows:

Monday, May 9 from 10 a.m. – Noon and 4-6 p.m. (Live)
Tuesday, May 10 from 10 a.m. – Noon and 4-6 p.m. (Live)
Wednesday, May 11 from 10 a.m. – Noon and 4-6 p.m. (Live)
Thursday, May 12 from 10 a.m. – Noon and 4-6 p.m. (Live)

During bombing periods wildlife may be temporarily displaced. Use extra caution when driving through the Ocala National forest and surrounding areas. Secure any items around your residence that could attract wildlife. Always be mindful of larger animals including black bears and practice bearwise measures. The telephone number for noise complaints is 1-800-874-5059, Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility, Jacksonville, Fla. For additional information, call (904) 542-5588.

Notably: The great and underrated American composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk was born on this day in 1829. He was a one-man USO during the Civil War. It is also Sonny Liston’s birthday (1932). Liston was the heavyweight champion when he lost to Muhammad Ali when Ali was still Cassius Clay. There would be a rematch that Liston would lose from an invisible knockout punch but, unlike Diego Maradona’s cheating and obscene “hand of god,” as the vulgar little man called it, a legitimate one. Today is Mother’s Day, celebrated since 1907, when it was more of a commemoration: Anna Jarvis started it back then when she requested a church service in memory of all mothers, marking the anniversary of her mother’s death. Dostoevsky ight have done the same had he thought of it as a schtick. He stuck to art. See the quote below.

At ten o’clock we went to bed; I turned away with my head under the quilt and took the blue handkerchief from under my pillow: I had for some reason fetched it from the box an hour before, and as soon as our beds were made I put it under the pillow. I put it to my face and suddenly began kissing it: “Mother, mother,” I whispered, and my whole chest contracted as though in a vice. I closed my eyes, and saw her face with the quivering lips when she crossed herself facing the church, and afterwards made the sign of the cross over me, and I said to her, “I’m ashamed, they are looking at us.” “Mother darling, mother, were you really with me once?. Mother darling, where are you now, my far-away visitor? Do you remember your poor boy, whom you came to see?…Show yourself to me just this once, come to me if only in a dream, just that I may tell you how I love you, may hug you and kiss your blue eyes, and tell you that I’m not ashamed of you now, and tell you that I loved you even then, and that my heart was aching then, though I simply sat like a lackey. You will never know, mother, how I loved you then! Mother, where are you now? Do you hear me? Mother, mother, do you remember the dove in the country?…”

–From Dostoevsky’s A Raw Youth, or The Adolescent (1875).
