“It struck me as rather odd, that one of the first questions raised, after our separation from the greedy, struggling, self-seeking world, should relate to the possibility of getting the advantage over the outside barbarians in their own field of labor. But, to own the truth, I very soon became sensible that, as regarded society at large, we stood in a position of new hostility, rather than new brotherhood. Nor could this fail to be the case, in some degree, until the bigger and better half of society should range itself on our side. Constituting so pitiful a minority as now, we were inevitably estranged from the rest of mankind in pretty fair proportion with the strictness of our mutual bond among ourselves.”
–From Hawthorne’s “The Blithedale Romance” (1852).

In court: A pair of hearings are scheduled in the civil case of alleged wrongful death against David Zlokas, the 64-year-old Palm Coast man accused of drunk driving and the DUI-manslaughter death of Gary St. Peter on Nov. 2, 2017, in a car crash off State Road A1A near Surf Side condominiums. Zlokas has also been charged criminally. The civil suit was filed by St. Peter’s wife and seeks damages of more than $15,000 from both Zlokas and Uncaged Tasting Room, a restaurant and bar at 3214 Meridian Home Lane in the Hammock where the two men are said to have been drinking before the crash. The hearings are before Circuit Judge Terence Perkins in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County courthouse on Oct. 23, starting at 10:30 a.m. The hearings are for arguments that the case should be stayed pending a resolution of the criminal case against Zlokas.
