Gas guzzlers during wartime by John Cole, The Scranton Times-Tribune
Gas guzzlers during wartime by John Cole, The Scranton Times-Tribune.



Today at the Editor’s glance: Weather: Showers likely with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs in the lower 80s. South winds 5 to 10 mph, becoming southwest with gusts up to 20 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 70 percent. Thursday Night: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Lows in the lower 60s. Southwest winds around 5 mph in the evening, becoming light and variable. Chance of rain 50 percent.

In Court: Drug Court convenes before Circuit Judge Terence Perkins at 10 a.m. in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County courthouse, Kim C. Hammond Justice Center 1769 E Moody Blvd, Bldg 1, Bunnell. Drug Court is open to the public. See the Drug Court handbook here and the participation agreement here. Ex-Flagler County Sheriff’s deputy Dedorius Varnes is sentenced by Perkins at 3:30 p.m.  Varnes pleaded to aggravated stalking charges, reducing an initial slate of more serious charges stemming from two separate incidents while he was a deputy. See: “Ex-Deputy Dedorius Varnes Pleads to Lesser Charges of Aggravated Stalking, Faces Up to 5 Years in Prison.”

The Flagler Beach City Commission meets at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 105 South 2nd Street in Flagler Beach. There will be a couple of swearing in, as Jane Mealy was reelected and newcomer James Sherman has replaced Commissioner Rick Belhumeur. See: “Mealy and Newcomer Sherman Win in Flagler Beach, Incumbents Barnes and Schultz Win in Bunnell.” The commission will also name a new chair and vice-chair, bringing to a close Eric Cooley’s tenure as chair. Belhumeur had been in line to be the chair. There was no vice-vice chairman, but chances are Commissioner Ken Bryan will get the nod this time. The commission is expected to hear a full financial health report from Belle McManus, the owner of the Ocean Palms Golf Club lease, her management company faces an ultimatum from the city over lease breaches. See: “Calling it ‘An Embarrassment to the City,’ Flagler Beach Manager Issues 30-Day Ultimatum to Golf Operation,” and “Ultimatum from Flagler Beach, Husband in Prison: Ocean Palm Golf’s Unintended Owner Tells Her Story.” Watch the meeting at the city’s YouTube channel here. Access meeting agenda and materials here. See a list of commission members and their email addresses here. Tonight’s full commission agenda is here.

At the Flagler Playhouse: “Company,” the 1970 musical by Stephen Sondheim, is staged at 7:30 p.m. at Flagler Playhouse, 301 E Moody Blvd, Bunnell. Tickets are $25.00, and $20 for students 21 and younger with ID.  Book tickets here.

“Theoretically, Osborne’s remedy for mental trouble was work. He redoubled his attention to his professional affairs, and strove to reconcile himself, once for all, to his loss. But he found his grief far stronger than his will, and felt that it obstinately refused to be pacified without some act of sacrifice or devotion. Osborne had an essentially kind heart and plenty of pity and charity for deserving objects; but at the bottom of his soul there lay a well of bitterness and resentment which, when his nature was strongly shaken by a sense of wrong, was sure to ferment and raise its level, and at last to swamp his conscience. These bitter waters had been stirred, and he felt that they were rising fast.”

–Henry James, from “Osborne’s Revenge,” a July 1868 short story.
