Today at the Editor’s glance:  The Flagler Tiger Bay Club hosts Dr. David Szymanski as the luncheon keynote speaker for the monthly meeting. Dr. Szymanski will share his vision of UNF MedNexus and what it means for Palm Coast and Flagler County. Szymanski, President Emeritus of the University of North Florida (UNF), recently left his position to become CEO and Executive Director of UNF MedNexus. 11:30 a.m. at Channel Side, 1 Yacht Club Drive, Palm Coast. Registration Required: $35/Members, $40/Guests. The Palm Coast Planning and Land Development Board meets at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. The board will consider recommending a rezoning and Future Land Use Map amendment for a 142-acre tract that will accommodate 217 single-family homes on land called Grand Reserve East (no relation to Grand Reserve, the large development in Bunnell) a little over half a mile north of State Road 100 all the way to the property line of Sea Ray Boats–now the reopened Boston Whaler plant–to the north. The tract parallels more than three dozen properties on Lambert Avenue to the east. See: “Third Major Development Slated for Roberts Road Near Sea Ray Would Add 217 Single-Family Homes.” And see the full agenda here. Think Pink Preview at the Flagler Auditorium: “Think Pink Preview” is a look at the upcoming 17-show season at the Flagler Auditorium, the first full season since Covid.

“How cruel people can be when they rise up together, a crushing flood that has no mercy for anything in its path. Such a collectivity neither hears one’s cry for help nor offers aid to anyone in need. Instead, it pushes one a side, heedlessly. The tyranny of an individual is the easiest kind of tyranny, since in the end, it is an individual that we are talking about. The group can get rid of him when it wishes; the individual may be removed by another individual, who himself may be worthless and unimportant. But the tyranny of the masses is the harshest type of tyranny, for who can stand against a crushing current, against overwhelming force?”

–Muammar Qaddafi, from “Escape to Hell and Other Stories” (1998).
