Dividing America by John Darkow, Columbia Missourian
Dividing America by John Darkow, Columbia Missourian.



Today at the Editor’s glance: Nobel Prize for Literature is announced at 7 a.m. today at the Swedish Academy in Stockholm. The prize carries a $1.144 million award. The bookies’ odds for the top possibilities: Annie Ernaux of France (8/1), Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o of Kenya (8/1), Haruki Murakami of Japan (10/1) and Margaret Atwood of Canada (10/1). Circuit Judge Terence Perkins would normally hold drug court today, but that will not take place. The judge is holding a series of sentencing, plea and bond hearings throughout the day. Rezoning: The Flagler County school district is holding the second set of its “listening tours” regarding rezoning of schools, now submitting a revised and much-scaled-back plan to rezone only the R Section in Palm Coast. Students there would be sent to Indian Trails Middle and Matanzas High instead of now going to Flagler Palm Coast High and Buddy Taylor Middle. The previous plan proposed rezoning every one of the district’s nine schools. It drew intense opposition. The listening session tonight is at 6 p.m. at the Wadsworth/Buddy Taylor cafeteria, at 6 p.m. Wednesday’s session at Indian Trails Middle School drew only five members of the public. See: “After Parents Object to ‘Equity’ and Race-Driven Balance, Rezoning Plan Now Limits Impact to Palm Coast’s R-Section.”

The University of Florida is conducting an on-line survey on behalf of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to learn more about the use of disposable plastic bags, auxiliary materials and wrappings by Florida residents.

The survey will be administered on-line using Qualtrics from mid-September 2021 until October 31st, 2021. If you are able to participate in this very important, please visit this link below. Survey link: https://faculty.eng.ufl.edu/timothy-townsend/survey/ … This survey is available to all Florida residents and if you have any questions, please contact Ms. Ashley Ricketts via e-mail at [email protected].

“Protestants, in general, are better instructed in the principles of their religion than Catholics; the reason is obvious; the doctrine of the former requires discussion, of the latter a blind submission; the Catholic must content himself with the decisions of others, the Protestant must learn to decide for himself.”

–Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “The Confessions” (1769).
