“To believe that patriotism will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies are voluntary and spontaneous, instead of a compulsory routine, is to make an unflattering estimate of the appeal of our institutions to free minds. We can have intellectual individualism and the rich cultural diversities that we owe to exceptional minds only at the price of occasional eccentricity and abnormal attitudes. When they are so harmless to others or to the State as those we deal with here, the price is not too great. But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order. If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. If there are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur to us.”
–From Justice Robert Jackson’s majority opinion in West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943).

In Florida and in State Government:
Note: Some proceedings below can be followed live on the Florida Channel. Most legislative proceedings can be followed through the Senate or House websites.
CABINET CONSIDERS LAND DEALS: Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet will meet and take up numerous issues, including a proposal to transfer state-owned land at the former Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys to Jackson County. Among other issues is a proposal to use money from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill to help shield timber land in Dixie County from future development. Scott and the Cabinet will decide whether to spend $6.4 million to purchase what is known as a “conservation easement” on nearly 20,000 acres of timber land near the Suwannee River and the Gulf of Mexico in the sparsely populated county. In making the deal, the state is banking on a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund. The foundation received $2.544 billion in 2013 as part of federal plea agreements with BP and Transocean stemming from the Deepwater Horizon explosion and spill. (Tuesday, 9 a.m., Cabinet meeting room, the Capitol.)
EDUCATION BUILDING MONEY EYED: The Revenue Estimating Conference will discuss issues related to the Public Education Capital Outlay, or PECO, program. (Tuesday, 11 a.m., 117 Knott Building, the Capitol.)
LOTTERY ANALYZED: The Revenue Estimating Conference will discuss issues related to the Florida Lottery. (Tuesday, 1:30 p.m., 117 Knott Building, the Capitol.)
JUDGE TAKES UP CONSERVATION FUNDING CASE: Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson is scheduled to hear arguments on a request by environmental groups to lift a stay of a ruling that found state lawmakers did not properly carry out a 2014 constitutional amendment that requires spending on land and water conservation. Dodson in July ruled in favor of groups such as the Florida Wildlife Federation and the Florida Defenders of the Environment in a lawsuit arguing that lawmakers had improperly diverted money to purposes other than conservation. But the state quickly appealed, a move that led to an automatic stay of Dodson’s ruling. The environmental groups then filed a motion with Dodson to vacate the stay. The 2014 voter-approved constitutional amendment was designed to require the state to use money from a real-estate tax to bolster land and water conservation. Lawmakers and attorneys for the state have disputed that the money was improperly shifted to other uses. (Tuesday, 2 p.m., Leon County Courthouse, 301 South Monroe St., Tallahassee.)
TRAIL ALTERNATIVES ON TABLE: The Florida Department of Transportation will hold an open house on alternatives for the St. Johns River to Sea Loop Trail Project. The department is looking at shared-use path from Kennedy Parkway in unincorporated Volusia County to Dale Avenue in Edgewater. (Tuesday, 5:30 p.m. Edgewater City Council chamber, 104 North Riverside Dr., Edgewater.)

However, our meetings are held in Palm Coast and our members attend from a wide area ~ Jacksonville to New Smyrna Beach and west to Gainesville.

Anyone who is interested is welcomed at our meetings – no experience necessary! Many people get started in this medium after going to one meeting or show. They are fascinated with the vast possibilities of colored pencil. Our Chapter also sponsors workshops with nationally-known artists to help us learn new techniques and refine our skills. We welcome all interested artists to attend a meeting where we share our talents and colored pencil art information. Jan 19 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
