Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 1 to 4 p.m. The food pantry is 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.
Al-Anon Family Groups: Help and hope for families and friends of alcoholics. Meetings are every Sunday at Silver Dollar II Club, Suite 707, 2729 E Moody Blvd., Bunnell, and on zoom. More local meetings available and online too. Call 904-315-0233 or see the list of Flagler, Volusia, Putnam and St. Johns County meetings here.

Interim Superintendent LaShakia Moore is hosting the forum to discuss the fallout from the segregation assembly at Bunnell Elementary earlier this month. The district did not mention the issue in its announcement of the forum, describing it as inviting “everyone in the community to join her for a sit-down discussion on the power of school and community connections. […] This will be an opportunity to have an open dialogue with Flagler Schools administrators, local officials, community-based organizations, families, stakeholders, and students. Bring your questions, concerns, and ideas on building better connections within our Flagler Schools community.”

Experience the many amenities including a lap pool, wading pool, tennis/pickleball courts, sauna, and a modern wellness center–all for less than what you’d pay just for a fitness center at your typical commercial gym. Friendly staff is available to answer any questions you may have about becoming a member. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club is the sort of place where you can connect with fellow community members and experience the welcoming atmosphere that sets BTSRC apart. If you have any questions, feel free to call at 386-446-6717. If you would like to learn more about our club and membership options please visit online.
Notably: I know that just about a year ago I went on at some length about Pacho Flores‘s performance, on the trumpet, of Arturo Marquez’s superb “Autumn Concerto.” But a few days ago, as I was finishing Charles Portis’s Gringos (it was a bit of a slog, as I have found most of Portis’s books to be. But then, I find a good deal of Twain tiresome, too), there was this line: “Nardo said Mexicans were the only people in the world who could play the trumpet.” The line alone warrants the repeat of a piece you can’t listen to enough. We need the sounds of Mexico to help us restore a bit of faith in El Norte.

The tug-of-war for control of the government was ferocious. The Watergate hearings convened by the Senate wrung damning testimony out of Nixon’s foot soldiers. Pivotal stories in the press laid out the facts. But the information, almost all of it, had its source in the work of the FBI. And the information had a gathering strength, each rivulet flowing together into a mighty river, the force that lets water cut through solid rock. Backed by federal grand juries and the prosecutors who led them, the FBI’s investigators preserved the rule of law against the obstruction of justice. And under law, the agents were accomplishing an act of creative destruction that the radicals of the Left could only dream of achieving. They were bringing down the president of the United States.
–From Enemies: A History of the FBI, by Tim Weiner.

Personally, I’d rather see his mugshot on a U.S. Postage stamp.
Think about it …

They just gave Trump the presidency. Thank u democrats :)
Laurel says
“C’mon man” my ass! Trump practiced that face in the mirror, you know that. He loves it, and if he did not, he would not have planted it on tee shirts for his personal profit. Real class. Can’t you envision two pointy, little, red horns popping out of his head, and a pointy little tail protruding up from the back? Too bad he didn’t add the 6’3″ 215 lb baloney to it as well.
Trump put himself in this disgusting mess, there is no one else to blame. He always loves having his portrait on the cover of Time, so I think that’s a great place for it now.
Joe Villarreal says
… hiding your übervoreingenommen bias at all, we see.

14th Amendment
Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

” I’d never heard the words ‘mugshot’”. . . can you actually believe this BS? Anyone who thinks trump did not “practice, practice, practice” posing for the infamous “MUGSHOT” in front of a mirror . . . along with getting a stylist to do his hair and makeup. . . is absolutely kidding themselves! LOL! LOL! LOL!
Joe Villarreal says
Okay, I’ll try looking in a mirror, then run back, then run up to it again and pose again, and just keep rehearsing over and over again.
Sherry says
@joe. . . Why not. . . it’s just like trump telling the same dangerous LIE over and over again until his mindless FOX cult members believe it. Brainwashing- . . . wash, rinse. . . repeat! repeat! repeat! repeat!
What a complete “ass”! LOL! LOL! LOL!
Joe says
I won’t name call, you go ahead and enjoy doing it for yourself.
Sherry says
@ joe. . . Thanks for your encouragement! trump is a criminal, corrupt, narcissistic megalomaniac, pathological liar . . . who has been found GUILTY of sexual assault, Impeached Twice, Indicted for “91”, NINETY ONE, Criminal Charges related to trying to over throw the government of our country!
Yet, there are millions of completely ignorant, brainwashed, duped, fools who would still vote for him.
Does that include you, joe??? If so, how very sad and pathetic!
