“Everything in your eyes is diminished and uglified…. You always focus on the faults, on what can be satirized…. To see only the ugliness, that is what people do when they do not love…. You are not aware that when you paint only cruelly, underlining only faults or weaknesses, you are the loser.”

–Anaïs Nin, from “The Dairy of Anais Nin,” referring to Gore Vidal.

In Flagler and Palm Coast:

Note: all government meetings noticed below are free and open to the public unless otherwise indicated. Many can be heard or seen live through each agency’s website.

The Sheriff’s daily incident reports and jail bookings are posted here.

The Flagler County School Board holds a workshop at 9 a.m. in Conference Room 3 on the third floor of the Government Services Building in Bunnell, to discuss board procedures.

A ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 4 p.m. for Teens in Flight at its new facility at 275 Old Moody Boulevard, near the fire station on the grounds of the Flagler County Airport. Teens in Flight started operations in 2006.

An “Opioid Task Force” holds its initial meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn at 2 p.m. The task force includes Joe Mullins, a candidate for the county commission who appears to be using the event in conjunction with his campaign, Pastor Charles Silano of Grace Tabernacle Ministries International, Michael Feldbauer, president of the Flagler County Drug Court Foundation, and other county business leaders and officials. Sheriff Rick Staly is listed among the participants but he will, in fact, not be in attendance. “While Sheriff Staly supports any community efforts to reduce opioid addiction and the opioid epidemic affecting Flagler County, he will not be participating in anything that would imply endorsement of any local, state or federal candidates,” his office said in a statement. Mullins scheduled another event that was eventually cancelled as some participants did not want to be associated with his campaigning.
