The Rotary Club’s annual Fantasy Lights in Town Center opens tonight and will remain open through the month. It’s a free stroll. (Palm Coast)

Fantasy of Lights at Palm Coast’s Central Park: The Rotary Club of Flagler County hosts its 17th Annual Fantasy Lights Festival at Central Park in Town Center, through Dec. 30, 6:30-9 p.m. each night. Fantasy Lights is free self-guided walking tour around Central Park with over 50 large animated light displays, festive live and broadcast holiday music, holiday snacks and beverages.

Notably: It was on this day in 1991 that Terry Anderson, the last hostage then held by Hezbollah or its affiliates in Lebanon, was released, after more than six years in captivity. He’d been one of 15 held. William Buckley, Peter Kilburn and William Higgins were murdered before their release. Anderson wrote of that day in his memoir: “The 2,454th day, and the last. The two new subchiefs came in this morning to say that I would be going home tonight. They talked with me awhile about various things. Strangely, they seemed mostly concerned with justifying themselves, and the last seven years. They said that their group now realized that this had all been a mistake, and they had gotten little out of it. They knew that the release last year of their brothers in Kuwait, the main goal they’d had in the beginning and for all those years, had nothing to do with the hostages they had held so long. ‘This tactic [kidnapping] is not useful. We will not do it again,” one of them said. “We are not giving up. But we will use other means.'” Anderson had moved to Gainesville to teach in 2014, but he didn’t stay: I tried finding him to meet him (I’d met him a few weeks after his release, when he came to talk in West Virginia and I covered the story), even emailed his daughter, with no success.

Even more important, and certainly no less dramatic, is the less-known Alaska of today–the Alaska of graveled automobile roads, of airplanes, used as casually by Alaskans as are taxis in continental United States, of giant gold dredges, of great fishing fleets, of farms with the latest in modern equipment, of homes set in frames of flowers and surrounded with vegetable gardens, of large shops, theaters, churches, schools, clubs, newspapers, and America’s farthest-north university. Alaska may be the United States’ “last frontier,” but in its application of tomorrow’s techniques to present-day mining and agriculture, in its revolutionary use of air transportation, in the energy and inventiveness of its citizens, Alaska deserves no less the name of the United States’ “foremost frontier.” Readers with vague schoolroom ideas of Alaska as a frozen land of ice and snow, the principal occupations of whose inhabitants are panning gold and hunting bear, may, as they turn these pages, find themselves deprived of many cherished illusions, but they will be compensated with some of the most significant episodes in the stirring story of America.

–From then-Alaska Gov. John W. Troy’s introduction to the 1940 WPA Guide to Alaska.
