The Flagler Beach City Commission meets at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 105 South 2nd Street in Flagler Beach. Watch the meeting at the city’s YouTube channel here. Access meeting agenda and materials here. See a list of commission members and their email addresses here.

Uncouth, an open mic night: Join a unique community of creative artists and performers on Thursday nights from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. in Lee’s Garage, Carlton Union Building, Room 261A, 131 E Minnesota Avenue, DeLand, for an event featuring the student community of Stetson University.

March 6: The Flagler County School District Review Committee meets to discuss a book challenge, at 6 p.m. in Room 3A at the Government Services Building, 1769 East Moody Boulevard, Bunnell.

A joint committee of Flagler Palm Coast High School and Matanzas High School reviewed the book and voted to keep it on the shelves. The decision is being appealed to the district committee. A Flagler County group is seeking to ban the book, a novel about a 13-year-old Nepalese girl being sold into sexual slavery in a brothel in Calcutta. Book bans in Flagler have been the unoriginal work of a vigilante group called “moms for liberty,” except when it comes to the liberty to read.

The Doomsday Clock: From Statistia: How U.S. and Russian Nuclear Arsenals Have Evolved: Over 75 years have passed since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and more than 12,000 nuclear warheads are still scattered across the world from silos in Montana to isolated corners of European airbases and even to the ocean depths where ballistic missile submarines lurk as a deterrent nearly impossible to detect. Hiroshima was the first of two atomic bombings in 1945 and it involved a 15-kiloton device while the weapon used in the attack on Nagasaki three days later had a 22 kiloton yield. Modern nuclear warheads are far more powerful with the U.S. Trident missile yielding a 455 kiloton warhead while Russia’s SS ICBM has an 800 kiloton yield. Together, the United States and Russia possess roughly 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons with a stockpile of over 8,000 between them, according to the Federation of American Scientists. This figure rises to over 11,000 when counting retired but still intact warheads in the queue for dismantlement.

When I die, let me rest
Buried in a grave
On the wide steppe
In my dear Ukraine,
Where the broad-rimmed fields
And the Dnipro, and cliffs
Are visible, so I can hear
How the roaring roars.

–From Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861)’s “Testament.”

    @Thank you FlaglerLive — the poem in full:

    Testament

    When I die, then bury me
    Atop a mound
    Amid the steppe’s expanse
    In my beloved Ukraine,
    So I may see
    The great broad fields,
    The Dnipro and the cliffs,
    So I may hear the river roar.

    When it carries hostile blood
    From Ukraine into the azure sea…
    I’ll then forsake
    The fields and hills—
    I’ll leave it all,
    Taking wing to pray
    To God Himself…till
    Then I know not God.

    Bury me, rise up,
    And break your chains
    Then sprinkle liberty
    With hostile wicked blood.
    And in a great new family,
    A family of the free,
    Forget not to remember me
    With a kind and gentle word.

    — Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) Champion of the Ukrainian Language, Self-Determination of Peoples, Human Rights and Social Justice

    Translated by Peter Fedynsky, Glagoslav Publications, 2013

    Boring!

    And the cartoon is true. New Orleans and Flint are completely Democrat run and both got lots of media attention. I was glued to the coverage. Kanye humiliated Bush (and Michael Myers). Didn’t Flint occur during Obama’s time? Did you really not know that or were you expecting your braindead readerscnot to figure it out? (They wouldn’t )

    Interesting that you mention Obama in connection with Flint when the whole mess was created by the Republican Governor Rick Snyder and his minions. Once again A “D” (Obama) was left to try and fix another problem caused by the “R’s”. As for East Palestine, the more they dig into it, the more the finger points to the deregulation of the railroads by Trump. Letting RR’s write their own safety manuals has never worked out well.

    @Things that go bump in the night (2:16 am)

    bor·ing
    adjective: boring
    not interesting; tedious.

    Your self-portrait is a great likeness. Confession heard. Someone else will have to forgive you.

    As for the sweaty and confused word salad that is your comment — get well soon:

    Have someone explain the big words to you.

    Isn’t Tucker talking about the federal and media neglect in the true cartoon?

    The parallel is to the fed and media “neglect” of NO after Katrina and Flint’s water crisis. I would argue there was not neglect there under your “D” or even by Bush. And certainly not the media. That’s the point.
