Weather: A chance of thunderstorms. Showers. Highs in the lower 80s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 80 percent. Thursday Night: Showers likely with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Lows in the lower 70s. Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent. Check tropical cyclone activity here, and even more details here.

Today at a Glance:

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.

In Court: Chad Cordoma, the 21-year-old Palm Coast resident who pleaded in June to making written threats to kill his brother, is sentenced in an open plea–meaning that it’s up to Circuit Judge Terence Perkins to decide the penalty–at 4 p.m. in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County courthouse. The case is unusual, in that the victim in the case and Cordoma’s parents are pleading with the court not to punish Cordoma, who suffers from mental illness. Cordoma is represented by Josh Davis.

The Flagler Beach City Commission meets at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 105 South 2nd Street in Flagler Beach. 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.

Sept. 30: A themed 60s/70s Dance Party at African American Cultural Society is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the society, 4422 North U.S. Highway 1, Palm Coast (just north of Whiteview Parkway). The party celebrates the closing of AACS’s student produced, intergenerational exhibition Summer of 1969, and marks its inaugural Arts, Media, Communications, and Hospitality Internship program. AACS will be honoring the departure of a historic decade, with celebratory family affair and award ceremony. Details here.

Oct. 7 and 8: Creekside Music and Arts Festival 2023, the 18th edition, at Princess Place Preserve, 2500 Princess Place Road, Palm Coast, Fla., Saturday and Sunday, October 7 and 8, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, admission is $10 per person, kids 12 and under get in free.

There’ll be historic demonstrations from a blacksmith, a fur trapper and pottery wheel creations. Kids zone with train rides, pony rides, petting zoo, hayrides, bounce houses. Big food court. Fall festival brews in the beer garden. Explore the Princess Lodge and other historic sites. Organized by Flagler Broadcasting.

Notably: It is time to give Scott Fitzgerald a fresh look. It rewards unexpectedly.

Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

–From F.Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (1925).

    @FWIW

    For what it’s worth, it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.
    — F. Scott Fitzgerald

    To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.
    — F. Scott Fitzgerald

    [Please comply with our comment policy. Thank you.–FL]

    You really need to stop being bias buddy! It’s obvious you are a liberal and buddy shame on you this is a red state. Stop with the bashing already! President Trump best President ever deal with it already. Also I would appreciate if you published my comment it seems ever time I put in a comment it’s never posted. Shame shame!

      In a way that may best be described as a meandering stream of thought, a thread from Ryszard Kapuscinski’s Imperium, Vintage International (1995) came to mind:

      “In literature (in Vasily Grossman, for example), scenes describbing a return home from the camps. A man has come home after 10 years of suffering in Siberia. He sits down the first evening at the family table together with his wife, his children, his parents. They eat supper, perhaps there’s even a conversation, but no one asks the newcomer where he was during those years, what he did, what he experienced.

      “What would one ask for?

      “A wise sentence from Ecclesiastes: ‘Who gathers knowledge, gathers pain.’

      “Developing this bitter thought, Karl Popper once wrote (I am quoting from memory) that ignorance is not a simple and passive lack of knowledge, but an active stance; it is the refusal to accept knowledge, a reluctance to possess it; it is its rejection. (Or, in a word, antiknowledge.)” (pg. 145)

      Thank you for your comment, Patriot. Antiknowledge, indeed. Liberalism, in the sense of the rule of law, individual rights, and freedom, is what formed our nation, what built our nation, what preserves our nation. We live in a liberal democratic Constitutional republic. Please study what liberalism means. It might prove enlightening to you.

      Patriot: Trump is horrific. He was okay with the possibility of the Vice President of the United States being hung in front of the Capital. The bone spurred (yet can play tennis and golf) draft dodger has suggested the execution of a Four Star Marine General. You know, the same Trump who doesn’t like real war heroes who “get caught” (POWs). Trump has dog whistled so many people that the government has to pay out for the protection of anyone who has disagreed with him.

      Go online and look up the number of businesses he has failed. Look up all the people he has refused to pay after they finished jobs for him. Look up and actually read his indictments.

      This is what you admire?

      He is disgusting. Change the channel, they are lying to you.
