Today at a Glance:

9/11 Commemoration: The Palm Coast Elks Lodge hosts a 9/11 memorial at 8 a.m. at Lodge 2709, 53 Old Kings Road, Palm Coast.

The Flagler County Library Board of Trustees meets at 4:30 p.m. at the Flagler County Public Library, 2500 Palm Coast Pkwy NW, Palm Coast. The meeting of the seven-member board is open to the public. The board will discuss the library’s long-range plan before it goes before the County Commission next week.

September 11 Commemoration: The Palm Coast Fire Department invites the community to join them in remembering the 22nd Anniversary of the September 11th Terrorist Attacks at a Candlelight Memorial event at 7:00 p.m. The event will take place at Heroes Memorial Park in Palm Coast. During the ceremony, attendees will hear remarks from Palm Coast Fire Chief Kyle Berryhill and Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin and performances by the Choral Arts Society. “This memorial service provides an opportunity for our community to come together and show our enduring respect for the heroes and victims of that fateful day,” said Palm Coast Fire Chief Kyle Berryhill. “We hope everyone will come and join us as we honor the memory of all those who lost their lives and stand together as a community to remember and pay our respects.” This event is open to the public. Seating is limited, so early arrival is encouraged. The ceremony will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. For more information, contact the Fire Department Public Information Officer, Lt. Patrick Juliano, by emailing [email protected].

Nar-Anon Family Groups offers hope and help for families and friends of addicts through a 12-step program, 6 p.m. at St. Mark by the Sea Lutheran Church, 303 Palm Coast Pkwy NE, Palm Coast, Fellowship Hall Entrance. See the website, www.nar-anon.org, or call (800) 477-6291. Find virtual meetings here.

The Bunnell City Commission meets at 7 p.m. at the Government Services Building, 1769 East Moody Boulevard, Bunnell, where the City Commission is holding its meetings until it is able to occupy its own City Hall on Commerce Parkway likely in early 2023. The commission is expected to approve next year’s budget and tax rates.  See the full agenda here. To access other meeting agendas, materials and minutes, go here.





In Coming Days:

September 16: Flagler OARS’ 3rd Annual Recovery Festival at Veterans Park in Flagler Beach, from 3 to 9 p.m., with live bands, food trucks, exhibitors, hosted by Open Arms Recovery Services. Vendor booth space and sponsorships available. Click here or contact [email protected].

Keep in Mind: The Belle Terre Swim & Racquet Club is open, welcoming and taking new memberships, and if you enroll before Sept. 1, you’ll beat the price increase kicking in then. 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 was struck by the passage in the daily quote segment at the foot of this Briefing, by Samuel Hynes, from his Flights of Passage, written in the late 1980s, well before the attacks on the Twin Towers. It immediately reminded me of one of the most terrible sights and sounds of that day: the falling men and women from the towers, and of Falling Man, Don DeLillo’s novel of that day that begins:  “It was not a street anymore but a world, a time and space of falling ash and near night,”  and that ends with that apocalyptic rain of bodies fit more for a chapter from Genesis than New York City in 2001. There is that one echo in Hynes, different as the context may be. Terrible, incomprehensible, no matter the context.

—P.T.

Then I saw the other one approaching from the south, flying low and slow. It passed over us, so close and so slow-moving that I could look up into the ragged hole that gaped in the belly of the plane, just aft of the wing. And I could see that the gunner’s door, toward the tail, had been jettisoned; there was someone in the open doorway, motionless, facing out. The plane made a slow circle of the airfield and once more headed down the strip. The radio must be out, I thought; he’s looking for a green light from the tower. We could see the controller in the tower raise his signal light. The pilot began to rock his wings, slowly back and forth, to acknowledge the controller’s signal. Then, from the open door, something fell. Slowly, as though the sunlit air were bright water, it sank toward the earth, turning and turning, very slowly. It struck the airstrip near the tower and bounced, suddenly and surprisingly high. And as it bounced, it opened, and became a spread-eagled man, and fell again to the earth and lay, once more a lump, a something. The plane, as though relieved of an intolerable burden, circled more swiftly and prepared to land. On the strip near the tower there was a sudden flurry of jeeps, an ambulance, and men running, but there was no sound- I particularly remember that there was no sound except for the quick bass roar as the pilot changed to low pitch for his landing

–From Samuel Hynes’s Flights of Passage (1988).

    Those who have been caregivers.
    Those who are currently caregivers.
    Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver.”
