Flagler Cares is in the midst of its Second Annual “Keep the Holiday Lights On” campaign. The health and social care coordinating organization is inviting residents and businesses to support local families in need of a modest financial bridge to keep their power on this holiday season. This initiative encourages neighbors to help neighbors by sponsoring homes to ensure struggling families can keep their lights on through December. The goal is to sponsor 100 homes at $100 per home, covering one month’s electric bill for families who might otherwise face utility cut-offs during the holidays. Supporters are welcome to contribute any amount to help brighten the season for their fellow residents. Donations can be made now through the end of the year on the “Keep the Holiday Lights On” webpage at www.flaglercares.org/holiday. Check donations may also be mailed or dropped off at Flagler Cares, 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B302, Palm Coast, FL 32164. As homes are sponsored, donors can watch the campaign’s progress online as homes on the page light up — a symbol of the community’s shared compassion and care.
Notably: Newspapers are discovering graphics as a storytelling form. At the beginning of November Le Temps, the Swiss French-language daily, launched a series of reports on the American resistance to Trump–not as traditional reporting, though it’s very much been that, but as a graphic series (calling it comics doesn’t fit). The five-part series is written and illustrated by Patrick Chappatte, a Lebanese-Swiss cartoonist whose work appears all over the globe. It’s no different than standard reporting, but in drawings. In the first installment he interviewed Donald Ayer, deputy Attorney General from 1989 to 1990 under President George H. W. Bush and former clerk for William Rehnquist, who told Chappatte that American democracy is hanging by a thread. He interviewed Ardem Patapoutian, the Lebanese-American Nobel prize winner in biology for his work in molecular research, who worries about ICE throwing him out, and he inerviewed Terry Moran, who was thrown out by ABC News after a 26-year career there, all because he wrote, not in so many words, that Stephen Miller is a “world class hater.” Good journalism, Moran tells Chappatte, is still one of the best way to fight back. “Trump is getting ready to fundamentally change our democracy,” Moran says. “It’s the most important story of my career.” The series continued along those lines. The New York Times has been doing likewise. On Oct. 21 and Nov. 20, it ran a graphic OpEd reported by Jake Halpern and illustrated by Michael Sloan called “Separation,” “a series following one Honduran family as they navigate America’s shifting immigration landscape. The story is based on firsthand reporting, legal documents and excerpts from the eldest son’s journal.” It’s ongoing. As is the demolition of democracy both projects are documenting.

I like cartoons. I used to try to do them myself, sent a batch every week to the New Yorker, all rejected of course. I just ly couldn’t draw very well. I like the ones that are drawn well better than the situations.
