Today at the Editor’s Glance:

Free For All Fridays with Host David Ayres, an hour-long public affairs radio show featuring local newsmakers, personalities, public health updates and the occasional surprise guest, starts a little after 9 a.m. after FlaglerLive Editor Pierre Tristam’s Reality Check. On Free For All today, County Commissioner leann pennington and School Board member Will Furry.

The Blue 22 Forum, a discussion group organized by local Democrats, meets at 12:15 p.m. at the Palm Coast Community Center. (On Oct. 14 only, it is meeting at the 2nd floor conference room at the Katz and Green Building, 1 Florida Park Drive, Palm Coast.)

First Friday in Flagler Beach, the monthly festival of music, food and leisure, is scheduled for this evening at Downtown’s Veterans Park, 105 South 2nd Street, from 5 to 9 p.m. The event is overseen by the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency and run by Laverne M. Shank Jr. and Surf 97.3 (See the paperwork here.) See: “First Friday, Christmas Parade and Starry Nights Are Returning to Flagler Beach in December as Grinch Variant Wanes.”

In Coming Days:




March 5: The Chambers Players of Palm Coast and members of the Flagler Youth Orchestra are in concert at 3:30 p.m. at Palm Coast United Methodist Church, 5200 Belle Terre Parkway. They’ll performing works by Tartini, Geminiani, Sammartini and Vivaldi, all masters of the Italian Baroque, Kirt Mosier’s “Waltz of the Wicked,” and American composer Morten Lauridsen’s beautiful O Magnum Mysterium. The concert is free. There will be a free=-will offering.

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. The meeting is open to the public. The book under discussion is Sold, by Patricia McCormick. 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.

March 7: A joint Flagler Palm Coast High and Matanzas High committee meets to discuss a book challenge, at 3 p.m., at Matanzas High School. A Flagler County group is seeking to ban Last Night at the Telegraph Club, the 2021 historical novel by Malinda Lo and a National Book Award winner.

Notably: Florida was admitted into the Union on this day in 1845. The Union has had second thoughts since. A new Florida Man is born every day.

Nevertheless, the spectre of extinction hovers over our world and shapes our lives with its invisible but terrible pressure. It now accompanies us through life, from birth to death. Wherever we go, it goes, too; in whatever we do, it is present. It gets up with us in the morning, it stays at our side throughout the day, and it gets into bed with us at night. It is with us in the delivery room, at the marriage ceremony, and on our deathbeds. It is the truth about the way we now live. But such a life cannot go on for long.

–From Jonathan Schell’s The Fate of the Earth (1982).

    I repeat, what bears and deserves repetition:

    Nevertheless, the spectre of extinction hovers over our world and shapes our lives with its invisible but terrible pressure. It now accompanies us through life, from birth to death.

    Lemmings are untroubled by this terrible truth.

    Flagler County voters just keep on punching way above their weight, with the criminals they elect, and the harm their choices do to them and the rest of us:

    Florida lawmakers put bill limiting lawsuits on fast track
    By News Service of Florida
    News Service of Florida Mar 03, 2023 at 9:39 am (Via orlandosentinel)

    “…The Senate Banking and Insurance Committee is scheduled Tuesday, the first day of the regular session, to take up the bill (SB 236). Sen. Travis Hutson, R-St. Augustine, filed the bill Thursday. It largely mirrors a controversial bill (HB 837) that started moving through the House last week…”
