If you are unable to join us, the show will be on display from May 9 through June 22, 2024.

Palm Coast Farmers’ Market at European Village: The city’s only farmers’ market is open every Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at European Village, 101 Palm Harbor Pkwy, Palm Coast. With fruit, veggies, other goodies and live music. For Vendor Information email [email protected]

Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from noon to 3 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.

Notably: I had no idea that for years after the re-emergence of the Olympics, medals were awarded for art–painting, sculpture–poetry, literature, architecture, “a “pentathlon of the Muses,” as Pierre de Coubertin, the founder and leader of the modern Olympics, called them,” the Times reported last week. “Thousands of artists, some of them famous, most of them not, submitted works. More than 150 Olympic arts medals were awarded, the same medals that athletes received. At the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, 400,000 people visited the monthlong exhibition of entries. As the Olympics return to Paris this summer, thousands of gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded — all for sport, none for arts.” The awards died off toward the middle of the last century and were killed off after World War II. The Olympics were looking toward television for validation. Art and culture isn’t made for television. And what artistic and literary contributions had been made were thin in value and forgettable. But the competition was also hampered by the fact that only amateurs, not professionals, could contribute. That’s changed. So wouldn’t it be worth reviving–and putting some serious money behind it? The Olympics aren’t short of money. This could be a fabulous showcase of world art and culture, particularly for the less visible. Imagine that obscure Gaza or Bangladeshi writer emerging out of nowhere to get a gold in poetry or sculpture (with money awards), and the quadrennial productions from around the world. Too much, too good, to hope for. But certainly as valid as, say, whatever they’re doing with flag football, discuss throwing —discus throwing!–golf and synchronized (“artistic”) swimming. Also, I’ve always thought chess should be an Olympic sport.

Writing sports, as anyone can tell you who’s ever done it or read it, is at best offering a harmless way to burn up a few unpromising brain cells while someone eats breakfast cereal, waits nervously in the doctor’s office for CAT-scan results or mulls away dreamy, solitary minutes in the can.

–From Richard Ford’s Independence Day (1995).

    Does any person with any common sense expect Alito or Thomas to recuse themselves? These are ideologues who because the court has now been stacked (since Mitch McConnel decided that one rule applies to Democrat presidents and another applies to Republican presidents) with an uncontested conservative majority. These two “justices” are taking full advantage of this situation to recreate the United States as they want it; not necessarily in line with existing laws or the constitution.
    And nothing is going to stop them.
    I won’t say Thomas is the most corrupt judge there but if you want to tell me that a $278k debt on his motor home was “forgiven” because he has a nice buddy, then you, my friend, are living in a fantasy land! Thomas is being taken care of financially by those who want this “conservative” view imprinted on our society at all costs. And let’s not forget is wonderful wife was neck deep in the conspiracies surrounding January 6. Not that the Judge was ever aware of his “best friend” being involved.
    And Alito, whose most recent adventure in democracy busting (at least that’s been reported) was running a US flag upside down at his house for a few days (coincidentally right after the January 6 insurrection). Of course his wife did it and of course he didn’t even know it. And of course she did it because of a dispute with a neighbor.
    By law, judges at all levels are supposed to recuse themselves when there is the appearance of impropriety. In the case of these two, the appearance part is open for all of us to see. But we live in times where doing what is right is outweighed by “doing what I want” and what’s best for “my side”. They will both sit in judgement, both side with Trump and MAGA and both will not suffer any repercussions for any of this.
    The Supreme Court is giving credibility to Trump’s claims of “absolute immunity” and doing so in such a way as to further delay Trump’s trial(s). No person should be immune from any of our laws, ever. And, if the justices believe he does have some immunity, that should be left to Congress to determine. The court is supposed to interpret our laws, not write them. And in this case, that is exactly what they are getting ready to do.
    And these are examples of how our democracy is not only under threat but tipping precariously into fascism.

    @Jim — %100

    It’s a matter of record that Thomas extorted his sugar daddies by telling them he was tired of his life of working poverty, and contemplating a return to the private sector to earn an indecent living:
    https://endcitizensunited.org/latest-news/press-releases/justice-thomas-quid-pro-quo-with-extremist-billionaires-slammed-by-end-citizens-united-let-america-vote-action-fund/

    It took the princes of dark money an entire blink of an eye to provide Thomas with an indecent living right where he was at.

    Judge Cannon is complicit as well. Clearly, there is a separated system of justice and a large part of the population is very comfortable with that.
